Hello readers! Sorry it took me so long! I hope you enjoy this episode.
Previously on Power Rangers Megaforce…
The Rangers traveled to the planet Mirinoi, from Universe Beta, where they meet Damon Henderson and Karone of Lost Galaxy. However, the Lost Galaxy Ultimate Power was taken by Derek Turner, also known as Equus Centaurus, the Horse Caeltermare. Leo, the Galaxy Red Ranger steps in to help his Ranger teammates, as well as to help Jake, who made a promised to his mother to not fight again. Thanks to the motivation of the veteran Rangers, Jake was able to overcome this challenge and the Rangers managed defeated the Ladybug Caeltermare, Scarabeus Domina.
*Underpass, 11:01 P.M.* (July 6, 2013)
A young woman in a black dress walks to a underpass, where Derek Turner was waiting.
"So you came, Pantheras Pardus," Derek said, as the young woman in the black dress, Pantheras Pardus stops in her tracks.
"What did you summon me here for?" Pardus asked.
"I recently achieved the Lost Galaxy Ultimate Power. Since the Lights of Orion are in my hands… we need some extra power," Derek explained.
"Oh? What have you suggested?" Pardus asked.
"The Heart Amulet," Derek responded.
"The Heart Amulet?" Pardus questioned.
"It's a power artifact created by the Andresian Tribe 6,000 years ago. However, it was lost. However, I found it when we were revived. You see, that powerful artifact was the one the unsealed us," Derek explained, as he showed Pardus a turquoise stone. "We'll use this to revive old enemies that past Ranger teams defeated. To start, we'll revive Moltor, one of the enemies that Operation Overdrive Rangers."
"If you wanted to use me to stall for time, you should've just said that. Those Rangers cannot match my speed," Pardus said, as their conversation was cut off by a couple of bikers.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! What's going on here?!" A biker with spiky hair asked. The two were confused, as the biker with spiky hair walked to the two. "Who the hell are you two?! You wanna cause a fight?!"
However, the biker with spiky hair's attention was shifted to Pardus, as he saw her human form as attractive.
"Damn, girl. You have some nice legs!" The biker with spiky hair said, slapping Pardus' thighs, in which the right one had a tattoo of a jaguar head. The second biker, with the black helmet on, sighs in annoyance. "You even have a tattoo. How cute!"
Pardus uses her thighs to knee the biker with the spiky hair to the ledge, killing him as he fell to the asphalt. The biker in the black helmet rides away in fear. Pardus then transforms to her true form, that of a Caeltermare with the motif of a jaguar. The body had dark orange fur, with black spots, with the middle having white fur. The head had the same color scheme as the body, with a black nose, and white fangs. This was Pantheras Pardus' true form, that being that of the Jaguar Caeltermare (The design is an homage to the Shocker monster, Jaguarman, and the Destron monster, Scissors Jaguar).
She speeds her way to the fleeing biker. Her speed managed to catch up to the biker, getting him front of his bike. The biker pulled the brake of his bike, as Pardus raised her claws. The biker then screams.
*Mansion, 8:18 P.M.*
Rarity was finishing up a dress she made from her sewing machine. After she finishes, she can only smile at the work she accomplished.
"Perfect!" Rarity smiled, as she layed the dress on her desk chair. As she was about to go to bed, she receives a phone call.
"Hello?" Rarity answers.
"It's been a while, Rarity," A voice said on the phone. Rarity's eyes widen, knowing who this was, even though the voice was filtered.
"What do you want?" Rarity asked.
"The Lost Galaxy Ultimate Power has been taken by Caeltermare. They're after the Operation Overdrive power next," The voice told Rarity.
"I don't know what this Ultimate Power is… But I don't want to participate in what you're planning," Rarity declined.
"But do you want to save your friend, Michael?" The voice asked, which caught Rarity off-guard.
"What did you say?" Rarity asked.
"Flash Sentry has already contacted you I see, yet you declined. If you want to save Michael, you will find these Ultimate Powers. You'll know where to find your classmates," The voice said, as it hanged up the phone. Rarity's eyes were now in worried.
The world of Universe Alpha was a normal universe. Until the ancient enemy Caeltermare arrived in the world to attack humans. Universe Alpha's ancient guardian, Gosei, awoke, and found a new team of heroes to fight Caeltermare. And there names are...

Episode 21: Kicking Back into Overdrive
*Laboratory, ?:?*
(Cue Death Breath by VideoHelper; 0:00-0:34)
A young girl is in a tank, filled with green liquid, with a gas mask on her. She only has her bra and underwear on. She was struggling to get out of the tank with the green liquid. A group of scientists, wearing gas masks, were surrounding her. In the chair, was an indigo blue pearlshell monster. The monster had a devil-like dress, with stars on the left side of the skirt, an indigo purple oyster above her chest, and an indigo purse oyster on her forehead. The indigo blue pearlshell monster was softly laughing.
*Bedroom, 6:25 A.M.* (July 7, 2013)
A girl rises from her bed after her nightmare.
(End Track)
"That dream again…?" The girl says to herself, as she turns on her lamp. It was the same girl from the Mushroom Caeltermare incident. "I've been having that nightmare lately. Just what is that nightmare?"
"Twilight! Wake up! You're going to be late!" A male voice called out. The girl, Twilight, walks to her door and opens it.
"I'm up, Shining Armor!" Twilight responded.
*Bedroom, 7:05 A.M.*
Shining Armor puts frenchtoast on the table, as part of Twilight's breakfast. Speaking of Twilight, the girl walks down the stairs, with her glasses on, still tired.
"You're hard to get up in the morning, you know that?" Shining told Twilight.
"I do. But you always wake up earlier… Detective," Twilight said.
"It's not my fault that these types of incidents happened. I got the call that another Unidentified Lifeform has appeared," Shining told Twilight.
"Again? These Unidentified Lifeforms are really getting in the way of our family time," Twilight groaned.
"Just behave. I'll be back before dinner," Shining said.
"Okay. I'm leaving to the library for my job after you leave," Twilight said.
"Okay. Bye," Shining said, as he left. Twilight sighs and says…
"Bye."
*Cranston Library, 9:04 A.M.*
Twilight was in the library reading the books based on the thing she was obsessed with… science. Twilight considers that her job, learning more science of how everything in the world works.
Noah Carver puts his stuff down in the table where Twlight was sitting. Noah couldn't help but be mesmerized by Twilight's beauty.
"Well, well, well," A voice said, and Noah turned to see Roy and Barry.
"Great," Noah sighed.
"Hey Carver. Is that girl your girlfriend?" Roy asked.
"We just met," Noah responded. "Why are you even here?"
"I'm here just to read manga," Barry said.
"Shut up," Roy said, as he smiles at Noah.
"This is a library, a place of peace of quiet. So, we can't fight here," Noah pointed out to Roy.
"He does have a point," Barry agrees, as Roy then punches him.
"Shh!" Twilight shushed Roy.
"You're next," Roy said.
"Roy, come one," Noah quietly said, as Roy punches him in to stomach and throws him to the carpet. Twilight's attention was now on Roy.
"Now nerd. This is what happens when I'm pissed," Roy said, as he raised his fist. Twilight closes her eyes, waiting for the punch to come. But it never came. "Hey, let go!"
Twilight opens her eyes to see Kendrix blocking Roy's punch.
"It's called quiet for a reason," Kendrix said.
"Let go!" Roy begged.
"If you want to fight anyone… Do it somewhere private and with noise," Kendrix suggested, as she let go of Roy.
"Shut up," Roy said, as he ran off.
"Are you okay you two?" Kendrix asked, as she helped Noah and Barry up.
"Yeah. Thanks Ms. Morgan," Noah thanked.
"Yeah," Barry thanked.
"Oh, it was nothing. I'll make sure that Roy will hit make a sound during his dention in summer school tomorrow," Kendrix told the two. "See you two."
"Okay, bye," Noah waved goodbye, while not making a sound. Noah then turns to see Twilight leaving with her books.
"Do you know who that girl is?" Barry asked.
"No. I don't. I haven't seen her before," Noah responded.
*Magisiva Beach, 9:36 A.M.*
(Cue In Love with Love by VideoHelper; 0:10-0:26, 1:10-1:20)
The four Rangers, Troy, Gia, Jake, and Emma, were training on the beach, which was by the Command Cave. Troy and Jake were fighting each other and Gia and Emma were fighting each other. As the two were fighting (End Track), Emma senses something. In response, Emma picks up a rock, and throws it where she senses it and a hand catches the rock Emma threw.
"You shouldn't throw stuff a people," A voice said, and Mack Hartford, from Operation Overdrive, stepped out from his hiding spot. The Rangers soon paused their training session.
"Who are you?" Troy asked.
"I'm Mack Hartford, the Red Overdrive Ranger," Mack introduced himself.
"Cool, another Ranger," Jake said in excitement.
"Sorry I threw a rock at you," Emma apologized.
"It's not a problem," Mack reassured Emma.
"What do you want?" Gia asked.
"I came to talk to you with your whole team together," Mack said.
"All of us? Okay. I'll contact Noah," Jake said.
*Command Cave, 9:54 A.M.*
Noah appears in a blue swirl, as he teleported to the Command Cave.
"I'm here. Where is he?" Noah asked, as Jake pointed at Mack. "Hi, I'm…"
"Noah. I know. We've heard about you guys," Mack said.
"Tensou, what was your recent prediction this time?" Emma asked.
"It was, 'A mysterious talking head'. But I'm confused what does that have to do with this Ranger," Tensou said.
"I was once an android and I found that out when I saw nothing but my head," Mack explained.
"Okay. I think I just got a mental picture," Jake said, massaging his mind.
"But the Corona Aurora Crown transformed me into a human," Mack continued.
"Wow," Emma said in awe.
"So, is Caeltermare trying to get the Operation Overdrive Ultimate Power?" Troy asked.
"Most likely, but I got a strange message from someone," Mack said, as he opened a laptop and played a video.
(Cue The Good Life by VideoHelper; 0:00-0:04, 0:59-1:03)
The video started out as a bomb fusing, before exploding, jumping the Rangers and Mack.
(End Track)
The proceeding, in the video, was a stop motion anime-like drawing.
(Cue Spacey Bachelor by VideoHelper; 0:00-1:07)
"Hello, Rangers!" A female voice greeted in excitement through the anime-like girl.
"What the hell is that?" Gia asked.
"Is that an anime talking to us?" Jake asked.
"You're wondering on who am I. But that isn't important!" The anime girl exclaimed.
"I'm pretty sure it is," Gia commented.
"In Universe Beta, an ancient warrior, who goes by the name of Moltor, is sealed on in a cave! Caeltermare is planning to use the Heart Amulet to revive him and make an army of revived villains!" The anime girl explained.
"Moltor? I thought he was destroyed," Mack said in shock.
"The Heart Amulet cannot be destroyed! However, you must stop Caeltermare from reviving Moltor and making the Universe burn!" The anime girl exclaimed, as over-exaggerated lava flows onto her feet, having the anime girl scream so much, that she jump so high, landing on a cliff, falling on her face as well.
"Why did this person make an anime?" Noah asked, as the anime girl got up.
"So, please! Stop Caeltermare… again! Let me know if you succeed in preventing Moltor's revival! Bye!" The anime girl exclaimed, as the video ended in static.
(End Track)
"What the hell was that?" Jake asked.
"Mack, do you know anything about this Moltor?" Troy asked.
"Yeah. Moltor was a tough enemy that I fought, along with my team. He was defeated before we defeated our last enemy, Flurious. But why does Caeltermare want to revive him?" Mack wondered.
"Are you sure that we should listen to that… thing? It looks like a trap," Noah said.
"It might be. But, we have to take that gamble, right?" Emma asked.
"You're right," Troy agreed.
"I'm still not used to it," Noah commented.
"Did you tell Noah about the plan?" Jake asked, and Gia nodded no.
"Not yet," Gia shook her head no.
"What plan?" Noah asked.
"I'll tell you later," Gia whispered.
"We have to go back to my world, Universe Beta. We have to stop the revival of Moltor," Mack told the Mega Rangers.
"When do we start?" Troy asked.
*By the Train Station, 10:13 A.M.*
Two men, Mallow and Sorich, were by the train station, interacting with each other. They were
"I think the Mets are going to win against the Giants," Mallow said.
"We'll just have to see. You can't be sure that they're going to win. It's a 50/50 chance," Sorich said to Mallow. "You just wanted them to win because you want to get that announcer job. I don't think that's possible at the moment. I'm assuming people are scared of these Unidentified Lifeforms."
"Yeah, that's pretty much accurate. I can't even go out drinking and the convenience stores are closed overnight now," Mallow said, as Sorich stopped.
"Just wait a moment. I need to tie my shoe," Sorich said, as Mallow then is dragged away, as if a rope as grabbed him. As Sorich is finished, he looks to see that Mallow is gone.
"Mallow! Are you there? Hey..." Sorich called out, as he turned to see Mallow by a column. Sorich then runs to his friend, in relief. "There you are! Don't scare me like that!"
Mallow then collapses on the ground, looking dead.
(Cue Gears of Conspiracy by VideoHelper; 0:00-0:15, 0:49-1:11)
"Mallow..." Sorich says in shock.
"Mr. Sorich... You are next," A voice said, as Sorich then runs away in fear.
"Help! Help!" Sorich cried.
"That makes 31," The voice said.
*Moran House, 10:29 A.M.*
Lisa Moran, Gia's younger sister, was lying in her bed, staring at the ceiling, bored during the summer time.
(End Track)
"There's nothing to do here. Where even is Gia?" Lisa wondered. Lisa sighs and she gets up from her bed and goes to her computer. The first thing she sees was an article on an abandoned government organization. "What is this article?"
Lisa clicks on the article, and it talks about the abandoned Hexagon project.
"This building in the picture, taken in 2009, was the Hexagon building. The Hexagon was an umbrella organization with its location and purpose know the public. However, an accident in said year the picture was taken caused everything to shut down. The head of Hexagon, to this day, still keeps this incident a secret. As for the people working for the organization, it's unknown what happened them," Lisa reads, which had the blond girl intrigued. "Oh. I guess it will be good to go outside."
Lisa presses p for print to print out the article. As it is the article is printing, the picture of the the Hexagon building, from 2009, had Kendrix included.
*Universe Beta: Forest, 11:02 A.M.*
The Rangers, plus Orion, we're following Mack, in his world, to find the Heart Amulet.
"I don't see the point in this treasure hunt," Orion said.
"It's to help us find the Ultimate Power. Derek already has one. So we need to work twice as hard as before," Noah explained to Orion.
"This is quite enjoyable. Ah! I love nature!" Emma stretched, before catching up to the team.
"I'm somewhat excited. I always wanted to search for treasure since I was 9!" Gia said.
"It doesn't matter. Let's just get this thing done with," Orion said, walking a head of the Rangers.
"Orion. We have to stick together," Troy said.
"That's your policy, not mine," Orion responded.
"Oh, what's the rush?" Mack asked.
"Hey, wait!" Jake said, stopping everyone.
"What's wrong?" Troy asked, as Jake pointed to a woman, wearing a black dress, holding her leg.
"Emma," Jake said, as Emma nodded. The two run to the woman in the black dress holding her ankle. "Are you okay?"
The woman in the black dress turns to the two.
"I am. But you're not!" The woman in the black dress says, which had Jake and Emma confused. The woman in the black dress then knees them to the ground.
"Jake!" Noah exclaimed, running to his friend.
"Emma!" Gia exclaimed, running to her friend. The woman in the black dress then gets up.
"I knew you Rangers would show up," The woman in the black dress says, as she starts laughing slowly, transforming into her true form, the Jaguar Caeltermare, Pantheras Pardus.
"Caeltermare! What are you doing here?!" Noah asked, as Nympha Pedes appeared beside Pardus as well.
"We won't let you get the Heart Amulet! It's ours! How did you even find out our plan?!" Pardus asked.
"Yeah. How did you?" Orion asked.
"It's a long story," Mack replied.
"We'll find that amulet so we can revive Moltor!" Pardus declared.
"We can't let them revive Moltor," Mack said.
"Noah, Jake, Emma, Orion, can you four handle this?" Troy asked.
"Leave this to us. Go on ahead," Noah said.
"I appreciate it. Come on, let's go," Troy said, as Gia and Mack nodded, running away from the soon-to-be fight.
"Let's Ranger Up," Noah said, as he unfolded his Megaforce Blue Ranger Key,
"Go, Go, Megaforce!"
"Knight Power!"
Noah, Jake, Emma, and Orion morphed into their respective Ranger forms.
Noah fires at the Pedes with his Mega Blaster, swiftfully. Emma shoots at the Pedes, spinning in the air, before converting it into the Mega Saber and striking a Pede down. Jake jumps from a rock and strikes down a bunch of Pedes with his Snake Axe. Orion takes out the remaining Pedes with his Titanium Sliencer, impaling the weapon into their stomachs.
"You guys are so irritating," Pardus said, as more Pedes appeared.
"Everybody! Let's go Legendary!" Orion exclaimed.
"Yeah! Let's do it ninja-style!" Jake agreed, as the three Rangers took out the Alien Ranger Keys, while Orion took out the Green Samurai Ranger of Ninja Storm Ranger Key.
"Very well," Emma said.
(Cue Rockfight by VideoHelper; 0:00-0:25, 1:00-1:20)
"Legendary Ranger Mode!"
Orion pressed the 7 key on his Titanium Morpher, which transformed him into the Green Samurai Ranger of Ninja Storm, while the other three Rangers transformed into the Alien Rangers.
"Hey! Those aren't from the same team!" Orion called out.
"It's the same ninja motif. What's the problem?" Noah asked, as the three Rangers unsheathed their Aquitian Sabers and charged.
"From my knowledge, there was no Sixth Ranger in this group of ninjas…" Orion said, before noticing the fight had already resume. "H-Hey!"
"I can't wait to try these! Aquitian Shurikens!" Emma cried, as she fired the shurikens at the Pedes, which had sparks fly from their chests.
Jake moves under the ground and emerges from the ground, becoming like a zigzag that was damaging the Pedes.
"Feel the power of Aquitar, Pedes!" Jake exclaimed, as he transformed back into his human shape, slashing at the Pedes with his Aquitian Saber.
Noah does a backflip and strikes down the Pedes with his Aquitian Saber.
*Forest, 11:14 A.M.*
(End Track)
Mack, Troy, and Gia were trying to find the cave that was containing Moltor.
"How much further until we find Moltor?" Troy asked.
"We cannot rush. There's a difference between rushing and haste," Mack told Troy.
"You think your semantics work in this mission?" Troy asked, walking ahead of Mack, who trips him to the ground. "Hey! What are you doing?!"
A dart then is fired above from Troy.
"Be careful. On an adventure like this, traps like this are commonplace," Mack told Troy, as a dart was fired towards Mack, which he dodged.
"Sure looks like it," Gia shot back, smiling.
"You're not half bad with your senses," Mack praised. Troy then thinks about a memory of him and his father (Cue In Focus by VideoHelper; 0:00-0:23, 0:40-1:11).
February 5, 2006
An eleven-year-old Troy was exploding with his father, Sean Burrows. Troy was running ahead of Troy.
"Troy, wait!" Sean cried, as Troy slipped on some rocks, causing him to fall. However, Troy's father grabbed his leg, saving Troy's life. Sean uses his strength to lift Troy from the edge of the cliff and back to the ground. "Don't scare me like that!"
"I'm sorry," Troy apologized, as Sean then hugged his son.
"I'm just happy that you're safe," Sean said.
Present Day
Gia notices that Troy was deep in thought.
"Troy? What's wrong?" Gia asked.
"It's nothing…" Troy responded, as he got up.
The three then continued their journey to find the cave containing Moltor.
(End Track)
"Hey, look. What is that?" Gia asked, as she stopped the two. Out from the cave, a Nympha Pede walked out. "A Pede?"
Then Pede the collapsed to the ground.
"What the hell?" Troy observered, looking at the dead Pede. "It's lifeless?"
"Obviously," Gia said. "But how?"
"I think we're close. Come on," Mack said, as the two Rangers continued following him. "Stop. Take a look at this."
The two Rangers eyes widen when they saw a bunch of dead Pedes.
"What the actual hell?" Gia asked.
"Something's waiting for us up ahead," Mack said.
"But why would they attack Pedes?" Troy asked.
"I don't know. But, this is where the fun of the adventure begins," Mack said, as he went on ahead, with the teenagers following him.
Mack turns on his flashlight and saw a gate that was being held by a seal.
"Huh?!" Gia said, as she went to the gate. "It's a dead end."
Mack moves his flashlight and saw a stone surface with markings on it.
"You two, come stand on here," Mack instructed, and the two teenagers did what he said. As the three stood on the stone surface, the said surface glowed a golden light, which caused the gate to open slowly.
"It look like it's a weight-sensitive mechanism," Mack said, as Gia rushes through the door, which closed.
"Damn it! We know the way in but we can't get in!" Gia exclaimed. Troy then looked up at the stone ceiling.
"You might want to stand back," Troy prepared Mack, as the two stood back.
"What are you planning to do?" Mack asked, as Troy took out his Mega Blaster and shot the stome ceiling, which caused a giant rock to fall onto the mechanism, which forced the door open. "I see. You used the ceiling as a means of weight to get the door open. I like your thinking."
"It was a little overboard. But I'm glad you're getting it!" Gia said to Troy, as Mack saw a glowing light.
"The Heart Amulet… It's close by," Mack told the two, as Equus Centaurus, the Horse Caeltermare, came flying out the door, before reverting back to his human form, Derek Turner.
"That's…!" Gia's eyes widen.
"Derek! I can't believe I'm asking this, but what happened?!" Troy asked. "Where's the Heart Amulet?!"
"See for yourself, Rangers!" Derek said, as he got up. "This will probably be your end! I can't determine for sure! But your end will come!"
Derek then limps away.
"That guy really doesn't get the formula. What does he even want us to see?" Gia asked, as the three heard a moan.
"Let's go," Mack said, as the three ran through the door, before stopping as a means of being quiet. "Shh. Moltor must be revived with the Heart Amulet."
The three slowly made their way towards the tomb of Moltor. Then, a figure then speeds his way to Moltor's corpse.
"Something's got his corpse!" Mack said, as the three ran to Moltor's tomb. "Look!"
The Ranger legend and the two teenagers turned to see a large hulking figure.
"That's…!" Troy thought, as he seen that figure before. "That's the figure from my dreams."
The shadow growls.
"Be careful. This guy isn't normal," Troy said to Gia.
"Is it a Caeltermare?" Gia asked.
"I don't know," Troy said.
"Andresians," The hulking shadow growled.
"Huh?" Troy questioned, as the figure released a fireball towards the entrance, causing debris to fall and block the enterance. The hulking shadow then moans and disappears in the shadows. "Wait!"
The hulking shadow doesn't listen as the debris caved in the three.
*Hexagon, 11:51 A.M.*
Lisa stops her bike when she arrived at the Hexagon building. She parks her bike by the entrance, takes off her helmet, and takes out her camera.
"Eh? So this is the Hexagon building?" Lisa said, as she started to take pictures of the building. "The article was right. This is bigger than the Pentagon."
Lisa takes a picture of the stained window, but stops when she sees someone there.
(Cue Neptune's Garden (60 Second) by 615 Music)
"Is that a person?" Lisa wondered, as she ran to the two doors. She pulls on the handles, only to discovered they are locked. "Geez."
In the building, Michael was surprised that an ordinary girl, like Lisa, was able to do what most people couldn't.
"Dr. Morgan," Michael called out, as Kendrix puts a picture, which she was looking at, down and hurries to Michael.
"What's wrong?" Kendrix asked.
"That girl... That girl just saw me," Michael told Kendrix.
"So?" Kendrix said in confusion.
"That shouldn't be possible. Normal humans can't see me. I'm not even whole yet," Michael responded.
"What do you mean by whole?" Kendrix asked, as Michael turned and slowly walked away from the window. "Michael, is there something you're not telling me?"
(Cue Neptune's Garden (60 Second) by 615 Music)
"Dr. Morgan... You asked me how I was older after two years. That is because... I'm from 2018," Michael sighs, as Kendrix's face was now in confusion. "Back in my time, I discovered a wormhole that contained parts of the Morphin Grid. I fell in and I lost myself. I became like a ghost, unable to talk to the ordinary. That is, until I heard you were a Ranger, and have an experience with the dead."
"Of course I do. I sacrificed my life to save everyone I know," Kendrix said. "Even with all that power... I couldn't save... I couldn't save..."
Kendrix then starts to tear up.
"Save who? Who couldn't you save?" Michael asked.
"Nothing. Forget what I said," Kendrix wipes her tears flowing from her eyes. "Continue."
"Dr. Morgan, maybe I should..." Michael said.
"I said continue," Kendrix responded.
"Okay... You were able to come back to life after the Quasar Sabers were placed in their stone where there we set. That power is what I need to be whole again. But then I realized this is different than death and that they were five different powers combined into one. In order for me to be permanent whole again, I need 8 Ultimate Powers. So far, the Rangers have two that I need. The Ultimate Powers of Mystic Force and Wild Force. Caeltermare has the Lost Galaxy Ultimate Power. Your Ultimate Power."
"So, you need 8 of the 18 Ultimate Powers to make your whole again?" Kendrix said, as Michael nodded.
*Universe Beta: Forest, 11:59 A.M.*
"Samurai Saber: Full Power!" Orion cried (End Track), as he released fire from his Samurai Saber, destroying the remaining Pedes.
"Looks like I have to take you out myself," Pantheras Pardus, said as she then sped towards the Rangers with her super speed, damaging the Rangers, who were released from Legendary Ranger Mode, falling on the ground.
"Wow! This monster's fast!" Jake said.
"How are we going to beat her?!" Emma asked.
"Orion! You've probably fought with her 6000 years ago! Got a plan?!" Noah asked.
"Oh, I have a plan. Attack!" Orion exclaimed, taking out his Titanium Silencer.
"Seriously?" Noah said.
Then, sparks appeared in front of Orion, stopping his attack.
"Who's there?!" Pardus asked, as the hulking shadow (Cue Xerxes of Pittsburgh by VideoHelper; 0:00-0:24 0:54-1:31), stood on a cliff.
"That's… It can't be!" Orion said.
"Who is that?" Jake asked.
The hulking shadow takes out a scale from Moltor and throws it onto Pardus' back. For extra power, the hulking shadow throws the Heart Amulet at Pardus' chest. Pardus then screams in pain, before she starts to laugh, as the Heart Amulet enters her body.
"Power! I'm feeling more power!" Pardus cried, as she glowed with red energy. The hulking shadow then turns and walks away.
"Wait!" Orion exclaimed, as Pardus speeds her way to Orion and claws him in the chest, sending his flying to the ground.
"Orion!" Emma exclaimed, as the three Rangers ran to the follow Ranger.
"I'm fine. There's got to be another way to stop her!" Orion said.
*Cave, 12:05 P.M.*
Troy tries to push the debris, that was blocking their way of escaping, but to no avail.

"That's enough. It's not even moving," Gia said.
"But we have to get the Heart Amulet back!" Troy shouted.
"I know! There's no need to be angry!" Gia responded.
"If that "thing" as the Heart Amulet, this means all of this was for nothing!" Troy exclaimed.
"For nothing? Do you really think so?" Mack asked.
"What are you trying to say?" Troy asked.
"How many adventures have you been on, with all the places you've been? It's not just about the treasure. Surely you've found things more important than that? Within yourselves," Mack told Troy.
"Within ourselves?" Troy questioned.
"When an adventure is faced with true peril, that's what stirs their heart. The thrill of the adventure is the most important treasure of them all," Mack explained. "Don't you think?"
"The thrill for adventure…" Troy said to himself, as he thought back that memory with him and his father.
February 5, 2006
Troy slips on some rocks, causing him to fall. However, Troy's father grabbed his leg, saving Troy's life. Sean uses his strength to lift Troy from the edge of the cliff and back to the ground.
"Don't scare me like that!" Sean said to his son.
"I'm sorry," Troy apologized, as Sean then hugged his son.
"I'm just happy that you're safe," Sean said.
"Hey, does that mean we're done?" Troy asked.
"No. It means we have to be more careful on our little adventure. We'll be back home when it's close to dinner," Sean says to his son, smiling.
Present Day
Troy closes his eyes, as he tries to fight the tears.
"Man… you love to talk, don't you?" Troy asked, as Mack and Gia smirked.
"So, how are we going to get out of here and get the Heart Amulet?" Gia asked.
"It's currently inside the Pantheras Pardus' body. You have to remove it," A voice echoed.
(Cue Waiting Game by VideoHelper; 0:00-0:21, 0:50-1:08)
"That voice…" Gia said, as she though about the time she fought with the Sixth Ranger copies.
"Take out the staff!" A voice called out from a top of a cliff, which was Michael. "That's what powers him!"
"It's you! Who are you?! Why are you helping us?! Are you killing more people you call perverts?" Gia asked.
"You know this kid?" Troy asked.
"I have no time to explain my intentions. I only have time to get you out of this cave. Once you're out of the cave, retrieve the Heart Amulet and fight," Michael said, as the debris started to crumble down into little pebbles.
*Forest, 12:21 P.M.*
The four Rangers flew as explosions happened behind them.
(End Track)
The four fell on the ground, injured.
"And I thought you Rangers would put up more of a fight!" Pardus laughed. "Goodbye!"
"Hey, Caeltermare!" Troy exclaimed, as Pardus turned to see Troy, Gia, and Mack.
(Cue Firestorm (30 Second) by 615 Music)
"More Rangers?!" Pardus questioned.
"We're taking the Heart Amulet back!" Mack declared.
"With you going down!" Gia added.
"Try and take it from my body!" Pardus challenged.
"Gladly," Troy said, as he and Gia opened up their Legacy Morphers and unfolded their respective Ranger Keys.
"Go, Go, Megaforce!"
Troy and Gia morphed into Megaforce Red and Yellow, respectively.
"Fury of the Dragon, Megaforce Red!" Troy cried.
"Claw of the Tiger, Megaforce Yellow!" Gia cried, as the two Rangers jumped from their spots and to the other four Rangers.
(End Track)
"I guess we have to do our roll call too," Noah said, as the four Rangers got up. "Bite of the Shark, Megaforce Blue!"
"Venom of the Snake, Megaforce Black!" Jake cried.
"Flames of the Phoenix, Megaforce Pink!" Emma cried.
"Um… I am Titanium Knight," Orion said.
"Really? That's the best you got?" Jake asked, unimpressed.
"Hey! Are you through yet?! I haven't got all day, you know!" Pardus exclaimed.
"Mack, you might want to stay back," Troy said, as he and Gia charged at Pardus, as did the other Rangers, beginning the fight.
However, with Pardus' enhanced speed, it was hard for the Rangers to get a direct hit. After wiping the floor with the Rangers, Pardus grabs Orion by the throat.
"You're weak, Titanium Knight. Those five restrain you of your true strength," Pardus taunted.
"Megaforce Blaster!" The team exclaimed, as they combined their weapons together. "Dynamic Victory Charge!"
The Mega Rangers pulled the trigger on the Megaforce Blaster, which fired yellow energy at Pardus, who manages to duck away from the blast.
"What?!" Noah said in shock.
"She just dodged it!" Gia exclaimed.
"Now that I've had a taste of your power, have a taste of mine!" Pardus exclaimed, as she sped her way toward the Rangers, striking them down with her claws, before they were sent flying deeper in another part of the forest. Pardus then stops, making a screeching sound. "With the Heart Amulet in my body, no one can stop me!"
"That's what they all say, you know!" Jake said.
"Everyone, let's go Legendary," Troy said, as he pressed the top button of his belt buckle (Insert Power Rangers Operation Overdrive by The Transcenders and J7 D'Star), which revealed the Red Overdrive Ranger Key, took out said Ranger Key and unfolded it.
Orion inserts the Mercury Ranger Key in the empty compartment and closes the front screen.
"Legendary Ranger Mode: Operation Overdrive! Overdrive Accelerate!"
The sixth Rangers then morphed into the Overdrive Rangers.
"What?! That power...!" Pardus said.
"So you recognize this power?" Troy asked, as Mack was watching, before Troy snaps his fingers. "Attack!"
"Drive Vortex!" Noah exclaimed, taking out his respective weapon.
"Drive Geyser!" Emma exclaimed, taking out her respective weapon.
"Drive Detector: Blaster Mode!" Orion exclaimed, as the three Rangers fired their weapons at Pardus, which she blocked. Jake and Gia charges at Pardus, with their respective weapons.
"Drive Slammer!" Jake exclaimed, slamming Pardus down.
"Drive Claws!" Gia exclaimed, striking Pardus, who blocked both attacks and pushed Jake and Gia aside.
"Drive Lance!" Troy exclaimed, jabbing his respective weapon at Pardus', chest, which she blocked with her left hand.
"I know what you're trying to do. But do you really think I'll let you take the Heart Amulet from me?! It's over!" Pardus declared, as she threw Troy by his Drive Lance.
"Now," Troy says to himself, as the Drive lance lost its blade and grabs Pardus' left arm.
"What?! What's going on?!" Pardus questioned, struggling.
"It's not over yet!" Troy declared. "Orion!"
"Drill Blaster!" Orion exclaimed, as the other four held onto Orion.
"Tri-Laser Shot!"
The Rangers fired the Tri-Laser Shot at Pardus, who blocks it, but, as it turns out, it creates dirt which prevents Pardus from moving.
"Damn you, Rangers!" Pardus growled.
"Caeltermare... Whatever power or plan you may have... Whatever power you want... You will not succeed," Troy said, as he lets go of his Drive Lance, as he went inside Pardus' chest.
"W-what?!" Pardus exclaimed, as Troy yanks out the Heart Amulet from her chest, causing her to fall. "No..."
"Mack, catch!" Troy called out, throwing the Heart Amulet at Mack, who catches it.
"Good job!" Mack praised, as his ranger form, the Red Overdrive Ranger, appears over him as a shadow, momentarily, giving him a thumbs up.
(End Insert Song)
The Rangers then demorphed from Legendary Ranger Mode.
"Emma! Look! It's your symbol," Troy teased.
"Shut up," Emma responded, playfully punching Troy's right arm. Orion couldn't help but feel familiarity with these two.
"Those two..." Orion says to himself, as Pardus groans in pain.
"If I can't have the Heart Amulet, then no one will!" Pardus exclaimed, taking out an Enlargement Grenade, pulling out its pin. "Enlargement Grenade!"
Pardus throws the Enlargement Grenade to the ground, which causes an explosion, causing her to grow into a giant.
"You guys need to be more creative on your backup plans, Orion annoyingly said, as he inserted the Quantum Ranger Key into the Titanium Morpher, closed the front screen, dialed 0 three times, which had the Quantum Ranger logo next to the button, and pressed the answer button, which had the Titanium Ranger next to it. The Quantum Flyer then emerged from a vortex from the sky. Orion jumps into the Quantum Flyer, which resulted in him being in the cockpit.
The Quantum Flyer's Drill Mode was then converted itself into a more Tyrannosaurus Rex looking Zord. The drill was now the tail, the feet-like thrusters were now the feet, and the head was now converted higher, to create a neck. This was the Quantum Flyer's Dragon Mode.
"Summon Mechazords!"
The Mechazords appeared and the Rangers jump into them, resulting in the Rangers to be in their respective cockpits. The Dragon Mechazord automatically went into its Warrior Mode.
"Zords Combine!"
The Dragon Mechazord's Warrior Mode combined with the four Zords, as if he was putting on a suit of armor. The Tiger and Snake Mechazords became the left and right legs, respectively, while the Shark and Phoenix Mechazords became the right and left arms, respectively. After that, the Star Guard Megazord was complete.
"Let's add a bit of firepower in our arsenal!" Gia suggested as she unfolded the S.P.D. Yellow Ranger and inserted into the keyhole underneath her steering wheel.
"Delta Runner, combine!"
Parts of the Red Delta Runner, from S.P.D., appeared on the upper arms and legs, of the Megazord, as well as the top appearing from the chest.
"Delta Guard Megazord, ready!"
"Let's finish her off!" Orion said.
"Yeah. She might have parts of the Heart Amulet's power inside her," Jake agreed.
"Then let's make this quick!" Troy said.
"S.P.D., Full Shootout!"
The Delta Guard Megazord fired its wheel guns from the limbs. However, Pardus, with her super speed, was able to dodge the attack.
The Quantum Flyer Dragon Mode then does its drill attack with its tail, which Pardus caught.
"Orion needs help! Delta Runner, go!" Troy exclaimed, as he pressed the red buttons of his steering wheel and pushed it, having the Delta Runner to separate from the Megazord and become its original form.
The Delta Runner blasted Pardus in the back, throwing the Qunatum Flyer Dragon Mode's drill-like tail aside. Pardus then uses her left foot to stop the Delta Runner, before kicking it away.
"The Delta Runner!" Emma exclaimed.
"We need to try something else!" Noah said, as the Rangers turned their Mystic Ranger Keys in the keyhole.
"Ancient Power, Mystic Spell Seal!"
Then, the symbol of Mystic Force appeared around Pardus' body, paralyzing his movement. The Starforce Megazord then did a single slash at Pardus, who broke free of the seal, caught the Dragon Sword.
"She blocked it?!" Gia said in shock.
"I'm different than those other Caeltermare you've killed! Even if you think you've won, the remaining power of the Heart Amulet will give me more power than I can ever imagine!" Pardus declared, as she uses her super speed for an attack, dashing towards the Star Guard Megazord and Quantum Flyer Dragon Mode with mach speed.
"What the hell are we going to do?! Any ideas Troy?!" Gia asked.
"Troy… Mack has given you Operation Overdrive's Ultimate Power. Use it to defeat Pantheras Pardus," Michael's voice said in Troy's head.
"That voice… Who are you?" Troy asked, out loud.
"What voice? Are you okay?" Jake asked.
"Like I've said before, I have no time to explain my intentions. If you want to live and win, use Operation Overdrive's Ultimare Power," Michael instructed through Troy's head.
"Troy, what's wrong?" Emma asked.
"It's nothing," Troy responded, as he pressed the button on his belt buckle, which revealed the Red Overdrive Ranger Key, which Troy took out. "Let's use Operation Overdrive's Ultimate Power."
(Cue Facing the Challenge by VideoHelper; 0:00-0:27, 0:46-1:10)
"Really? Are you sure it will work?" Noah asked.
"Think of it as a little adventure," Troy told Noah, as he unfolded the Red Overdrive Ranger Key. "Let's go!"
The Rangers inserted their Operation Overdrive Ranger Keys into their keyholes under their steering wheels and turned them. The Ultimate Power of Operation Oversrive was then revealed, a manifestation of the Drivemax Megazord, which slashed at Pardus a couple of times, before it's manifestation became the Drive Saber, which the Star Guard Megazord grabbed.
"Let's finish it!" Troy said, as the Star Guard Megazord, with the Drive Saber, circling as the Overdrive compass logo spins, with the Drive Saber being powered by kinetic energy. The Star Guard Megazord the slashes at Pardus' chest.
"Impossible…! Impossible! Damn you, Power Rangers!" Pantheras Pardus cried, as a halo appeared over her head, before exploding.
(End Track)
"Checkmate!" The five Rangers snapped their fingers.
*Command Cave, 4:05 P.M.*
Mack hands the Rangers, now demorphed, the Heart Amulet.
"You want us to have the Heart Amulet?" Troy asked.
"Yeah. The power inside needs some of your Mystic Force Ultimate Power. That's why I'm going to Unvisrse Zeta to talk to the Mystic Force Rangers," Mack explained. "As for Gosei… That design I sent to Tensou, would you consider it?"
"It seems impossible for your idea to come to life. But I'll have Tensou and I to work on it," Gosei responded.
"Work on what? What is that guy thinking?" Orion asked.
"Mack designed the Command Cave to transform into a Megazord," Gosei explained.
"A Megazord? What is that?" Orion questioned.
"That's what we and Gosei call our giant robot," Jake said.
"It might take a couple months for the Command Cave to have the power to turn into a Megazord. But, until then, keep up the good work," Mack said, as he began to leave.
"Mack!" Troy exclaimed, and Mack stopped and turned to Troy. "Thanks… for today."
Mack smiled, as an Invisiportal appeared and Mack entered it.
"Alright! Now we have…" Emma exclaimed, as she counts her fingers. "Six Ultimate Powers! Turbo's is still in development and Derek has the Lost Galaxy Ultimate Power. But it's alright, as long we have more than Caeltermare, it will be okay."
Emma then smiles and gives her signature thumbs up. Orion couldn't help but feel familiarity with Emma.
"I got to go," Orion said adruptly.
"What? What do you mean?" Noah asked.
"I have to go!" Orion said, as he then left the Command Cave.
"That's weird. What's wrong with him?" Jake asked, as Troy walks to Emma.
"Troy, do you know something?" Emma asked.
"I saw the way he was looking at you. He doesn't have a thing for you does he?" Troy asked.
"N-no! I don't think it's anything like that. I don't want to jump to conclusions," Emma responded to Troy. "We need more evidence to be more certain."
Troy nods in agreement
"When are we going to execute the plan?" Jake whispered.
"Maybe a couple of weeks. The more closer they're getting, the more their relationship grows."
"Then we can have a double date with them, you and Jake," Noah commented, as Jake and Gia then turned to Noah. "Ah. Sorry."
*Ernie's Brainfreeze, 4:24 P.M.*
Orion enters the frozen yogurt shop and sees that no one is here.
"Ernie! Are you there?!" Orion called out, as he then notices a note and reads it. "Had to close early, had to help a friend."
Orion sighs.
"What is this?! Let go! Let go!" A female voice cries in pain. Orion quickly springs into action as he saw Lisa being strangled by an invisible force. Orion jumps in chops through air, which lets Lisa go.
"Are you okay?" Orion asked.
"Yeah," Lisa nodded. "What even was that?"
"That technique…" Orion said to himself.
Outside, a Caeltermare with the motif of chameleon stands on a rooftop of the Angel Falls Mall rooftop. His body was lime green chameleon-like body, with red swirls, looking like chameleon tongues, on his upper chest, the sides of his mid body and his fore arms had a bright orange color, reddish-purple chameleon-like eyes, small red horns, a lime green chameleon tail attached on the back of his head, with his body being similar to the Frog Caeltermare, Rana Aqua. This was the Chameleon Caeltermare, Lacertus Effingo (The design is an homage to the Shocker monster, Deadly Chameleon, and Kamen Rider Verde).
Orion senses the presence of Lacertus Effingo, the Caeltermare he hates the most.
To Be Continued (Ranger Key: Red Overdrive Ranger)
Caeltermare File #31 (Pantheras Pardus):
She claws on her nails can crush through steel, like scissors, and can move at the speed of 370 km/h, as well with her agility run up a vertical wall with her strong legs.

That was the Operation Overdrive tribute. This is the longest chapter that I had to write, since the summer episodes. Like I said before, I'm tackling two stories and school, which is stressful, by the way. But, I try my best to write the best I can. In fact, one of my New Year's resolutions is to write more and not procrastinate. This year was more laidback for me, which I regret. Like I said, it's all for you readers. No matter what struggles I go through, you and my family keep me going. I mean some of the types of things I write are from my life and I unintentionally don't do it most times.
Anyways, now to the reviews.
Reviews:
James Birdsong: Thank you!

Thank so much you for reading, readers. If you want, you can leave a review to share your thoughts. I will see all of you guys, girls, and all in between, next time. Happy belated Halloween and Thanksgiving! In case I don't see you, Happy Holidays!
