In the last instalment of Power Rangers Wild Fury, Mantack recovered from his wounds dealt during his last battle to unleash an all out assault on the Power Rangers to claim the Whale Zord. While the Rangers tried to trick him, he forged an alliance with Keldor to fight back with a group of evil doubles of the Rangers. While most of them were destroyed, the clone of Johnny was able to overcome his original, and capture him for his masters…

And half an hour after this, the other Rangers had searched for their comrade with no success. "There's no sign of him anywhere.", Lenny called out. "You think Mantack got him?"

"I'm sure of it.", Luke responded, as he continued to be sent to voicemail on his phone. "He wouldn't ghost me like this. Not his own brother."

"If he has Johnny, then there's a chance Mantack will get bolder.", Trunks pointed out. "He'll try to threaten us into ransoming the Whale Zord to get him back."

As if on cue, Mantack's ship appeared over the horizon. "You just had to say it, didn't you?", Marina sighed. The Rangers set off running as the ship began to fire on them.

"We're too big a target as a group.", Tora pointed out as she undid her Morph. "Especially when morphed."

"She's right.", Trunks nodded as he also demorphed. "We should split up and make for different points. And don't morph or try to find the others until one of us has something."

"Right." The other Rangers demorphed, before everyone split off into different directions.

Onboard the ship, Mantack slammed the console. "Darn. I almost had 'em."

"It's no matter.", Keldor informed him as Nathan - as they had dubbed the clone with the Gorilla Ranger powers - walked in, with Wrench and Metal Alice. "There's only a few places they could have run away to. It won't take long to sniff them out."

"What about me and my Rangers?", Nathan asked. "I did what you asked and helped capture Red. Surely that warrants you restoring my team."

"I'm not sure asking him for anything will help you get it.", Wrench advised him. "Mantack isn't exactly the best at granting requests if he doesn't have reason to like you."

"But I can at least come up with an idea based on it.", Keldor realised. "What if the only ones good enough to hunt down the Rangers are themselves?"

"I take your meaning.", Mantack nodded as he departed.

Keldor soon followed after him. "I think I'll make some recalibrations to the central cannon.", he explained. "You know, to increase its output."

But as he left, Metal Alice was suspicious. "I calibrated the cannon myself. It is already at maximum output, considering that we had to recalibrate it from the original function of enlarging monsters.", she noted, before following him. "What are you up to, Keldor?"

Wrench was confused. "Erm, am I in charge for now, then?"

"Oh shut up.", Nathan sighed.

Johnny had been tied up and placed in one of the cells left over from the ship's previous owner. Mantack soon entered the cell. "Dinner time already, nurse?", he commented sarcastically.

"Joke while you can, Johnny.", Mantack laughed. He then placed the Anima Arm on Johnny's head, which was no longer protected. "Your friends have escaped into town, and I've been recommended to try sending them after themselves. Which is why I need you to try and remember them out at their absolute worst. It'll help you understand my meaning."

Elsewhere, Luke came running into Stevie's house. "Luke, what happened out there?", she asked. "Did the Carnaval hats work?"

"I-I think so.", Luke nodded. "But Mantack ended up kidnapping Johnny and now we've had to spread out so we can hide out from him."

"I see.", Stevie commented. "So you're hiding out here so he has no idea where to find you."

"That's right.", Luke nodded. "Only I'd think that I'd be hiding out here."

"Exactly." One of the windows was shattered, as the figure of the Chimera Ranger entered the room. "You should've thought harder about where to hide, but you won't live long enough to think of one."

"We'll see about that.", Luke stated as he took out his Hunter Morpher, using it to trigger his morph. "Predator Spirits, Awaken!" After the change was completed, Luke proceeded to switch forms. "Primal Change: Wolf!"

"That won't help you.", the cloned Chimera Ranger stated, before undergoing his own form change. "Super Primal Mode, Unleash!" He then assumed his version of Luke's super mode, after which a fight broke out between the two, in the garden.

Elsewhere, Marina ran down the street, when she bumped into someone she found familiar. "You're Tora and Trunks's co-worker right?", she realised.

"Yeah, but you can just call me 'Adrien'.", he nodded.

"Well Adrien, can you get out of my way?", Marina said, slightly ratty due to her situation. "I'm trying to get away from-." Suddenly, there was a loud thud, as something approached the two, scaring everyone else away. "That."

The beast in front of them was something that Marina had seen on the news, but never in person. Herself, devolved into a cave-megalodon by Shotiki's germs. Realising that the beast was likely going for her, Marina pushed Adrien down, before leaping forward to try and deliver multiple punches to her distant relative. But she forgot that sharks had thick skin, that was only more so millions of years ago. As she clutched her injured wrist, Marina found herself knocked back by her doppelgänger.

Trunks and Tora ended up at Mrs. Mack's pawn shop. "You realise we were supposed to go separate ways, right?", he said to her.

"Well it's lucky for you we didn't.", Tora pointed out. "I actually have a key to this place, given how much of the work I've been doing." She then sighed. "If only we had some idea of how we proceed from here."

One of the walls was then knocked in as, much like Marina, Trunks and Tora came face to face with their ancient de-evolved states as a cave-mammoth and a cave-smilodon. "Something tells me that these two won't give us that time.", Trunks commented as he and Tora engaged their doppelgängers in battle.

And at the zoo house, Jeremy was interrupted in his typing by the arrival of what appeared to be Lenny, who had for some reason unclear to the bird Animan, had taken off his DNA Cloak. "Lenny, what happened out there?", Jeremy asked. "Where are the others? And why did you-?" "Lenny" then proceeded to pounce on Jeremy, his claws outstretched for the kill. "Something tells me you're not the real Lenny."

The copy then leapt out to attack again, but this time, the real Lenny appeared and blinded his imposter with a blanket, suffocating him into unconsciousness. "Looks like my double here got back before me.", he commented. "Luckily, no-one knows me like myself."

"Yeah, lucky for me.", Jeremy commented. "Now then, I assume you heard the questions I asked him, so can you please answer them?"

"Mantack got the jump on us thanks to Keldor's memories letting him clone us.", Lenny answered him. "We also think he got Johnny, which would explain where this guy came from. He's acting like I did when we went on that hike with Stevie."

"If Mantack does have Johnny, then there is a way we can contact him.", Jeremy pointed out, as he took out his power enhancer, and set it to the phone setting, before dialling '1'.

Onboard Mantack's ship, Johnny's Morpher - which the bounty hunter had confiscated and put in a sack around his waist - started ringing, with Mantack taking it out to answer. "Hello? Are you calling for your bird friend?"

"Well, our other one.", Jeremy answered from the other side. "You must be Mantack. And since you're answering this, I assume you do have Johnny captive."

"That's right.", Mantack responded. "And if you want him alive and unharmed, then I suggest you hand over the Whale Zord. The real Whale and not some perspex model. You have two hours to make a decision. I hope you don't make the wrong choice." He then hung up.

"You're not really considering letting the inferior copy go.", Nathan asked. "Not before I've had my revenge."

"Oh don't worry.", Mantack assured him. "I'll be letting him go, and you'll get your revenge. The best of both worlds."

Back in the streets, Marina was still losing against her primordial doppelgänger. But before the larger, more brutish clone could finish her off, Marina saw Adrien take out some kind of device from his pocket and throw it onto the creature, which paralysed her. "Well, what are you waiting for?", Adrien asked. "Morph and finish her off."

Marina was too caught in the moment to take in the shocking truth that someone she barely knew was aware of her identity as a Ranger to argue. "Primal Spirits, Awaken!" She took out her Wild Morpher and became the Shark Ranger, using her Primal Mode attack to subdue her imposter. "Tidal Impact!" After that was said and done, she received a call on her Morpher. "Hello? Lenny, I thought we were supposed to - what? I'll be right over." As she hung up, she turned to Adrien. "So, about…?"

Adrien handed her a sheet of paper. "Go and defeat Mantack. And then meet me at this address.", he said, before turning and leaving.

Elsewhere, Tora and Trunks had received the same call from Lenny. "We need to deal with these two first.", Tora pointed out. "Otherwise, they'll just follow us."

"You're right.", Trunks nodded as he picked up an antique lamp and clobbered his copy over the cranium with it, rendering the cave-mammoth unconscious. "But how are you gonna escape?"

"Trust me, I know my own weaknesses.", Tora assured him, before kneeing the cave-smilodon in the underbelly, sending her keeling over backwards. "Like my own soft underbelly." The two then set off.

And back at Stevie's house, Luke used his speed to overwhelm his doppelgänger, before shifting to his Rhino form. "Reel Spear: Tackle Thrust!" He threw the weapon into his clone's chest, destroying him. After undoing his Morph, Luke turned back to Stevie. "Lenny called me during the fight. I have to go back to the zoo house."

"Just go.", Stevie assured him. "Saving Johnny is more important right now."

"Ok.", Luke sighed. "I just feel bad hat we haven't been doing more to rebuild our relationship. I hardly see you outside of Ranger business."

"Don't worry about that.", Stevie said in response, taking out a receipt. "I made a reservation for tomorrow night. Two people. You see, you're not the only one nostalgic for company."

Luke smiled. "I'll try to pick you up at seven." He then moved on the direction of the zoo house.

In his cell, Johnny saw Metal Alice throw him his Wild Morpher. "Get up, human.", she barked at him as the chains disappeared. "You're being released. And Mantack is going to try and take the Whale from your friends."

"Thank you?", Johnny said with confusion as he picked up his Morpher. "I assume you're going to take me to the teleporter or something?"

"There isn't one onboard this ship.", Metal Alice informed him. "But I can direct you to a shuttle craft that'll take you to Earth."

Johnny decided to follow after her, noting a tear in her chassis on the back of her neck. "And why are you doing this?"

"Merely following the orders of my master.", was Metal Alice's answer.

Back at the zoo house, Jeremy and Lenny had filled in the others. "So, it's obvious what our course of action is.", Marina stated.

"As much as I hate to say it, we do.", Trunks sighed. "We have to give the Whale Zord to Mantack so he'll release Johnny."

"But that will give us a chance to take the Whale back and stop Mantack once and for all.", Tora pointed out. "If we're able to Morph and launch our attack within the next few seconds."

"I doubt even Mantack could survive an onslaught from all of you at once.", Jeremy agreed. "But there is still one problem."

Lenny took over for him. "Namely, the lack of an agreed meeting place."

"Mantack wants the Whale Zord.", Luke pointed out. "So we don't need to have an agreed meeting place."

Back aboard his ship, Mantack was fuming at Wrench. "What do you mean 'the prisoner escaped'?", he growled.

"I'm telling you, I don't know.", Wrench answered him. "The camera feed was deactivated, his Morpher and the shuttle have gone missing, and Metal Alice and Keldor are nowhere to be seen." He brought up a screen image of the other Rangers approaching a quarry. "The good news is that the Rangers have seemingly agreed to the trade. They're on their way to the middle of nowhere."

"And don't forget, you still have a hostage to trade.", Nathan pointed out. "And unlike Keldor and Alice, I haven't betrayed you."

Mantack laughed. "Oh, this is even better than I thought."

Back at the zoo house, Jeremy had stepped out to get some air, when he saw something large, grey and oppressive fall from the sky and crash a few feet in front of him. He soon saw it was a one-man spaceship of some kind, but he was more surprised by who was inside it. "Johnny?", he gasped. "How did you get away?"

"Vrak's robot partner helped me.", Johnny answered. "I'm guessing Mantack must've co-opted her into his service back when the Megaforce Rangers showed up. I guess she was unhappy enough to let me out, but I have my doubts."

"Well that's great.", Jeremy sighed with relief. "Now the others don't have to trade the Whale Zord to get you back, since he can't offer you as a hostage."

"Oh yes he can.", Johnny realised. "I wasn't able to defeat the duplicate of my self Mantack created. He's still around, and available for Mantack to use. Which way did they go?"

"They said they were going out to the mountains.", Jeremy informed him. "Oh no, you'll never make it there on time."

"Not on foot, maybe.", Johnny stated as he took out his Wild Morpher. "But perhaps I can fly there in time. Primal Mode, Awaken!" He morphed into the Eagle Ranger and deployed his wings, taking flight.

"Good luck.", Jeremy commented.

Back at the mountains, Mantack teleported down with Nathan, now gagged and dressed in a copy of what Johnny had been wearing prior. He walked up to the Rangers, pushing his 'prisoner' forward. "Alright. You know the drill. But I insist you go first, so there's no funny business from you."

"Wouldn't have it any other way.", Marina said as she held out the Whale Zord. Don't worry, she mentally communicated to the Zord. We'll get you back. After handing Mantack the Zord, she continued speaking to Mantack. "Alright, now release our friend."

"Fine, I am a man of my word." Mantack took out his sword and used it to slash through the rope that was holding "Johnny" by the hands. "Go to them.", he commanded.

As soon as "Johnny" was free, the Rangers all pulled out their Morphers. "Alright, now for phase two.", Luke stated.

"Oh, I don't think so." "Johnny" then transformed into the Gorilla Ranger, using his Chain Saber to knock everyone's hands so they dropped their Morphers.

"Of course.", Trunks realised. "Another clone."

"Unfortunately for you, yes.", Mantack laughed, as his ship flew into view. "And if you want to know what happened to the real deal, then you won't live long enough to find out."

"That's my cue.", Wrench stated happily as he pressed the big red button. As he did this, the ship fired what had once been its Magna Beam, but had been reconfigured by Wrench into a cannon with enough power to utterly destroy the Rangers. As Nathan leapt backwards, the 5 genuine articles were enveloped by the beam, completely disappearing.

"No!" The real Johnny came flying in, too late to save his friends from their apparent fate, finding nothing where they had stood, not even ash. He then turned to Mantack and Nathan. "You're both gonna pay for this!" He then set off flying towards Mantack, with Nathan moving in to block, leading the two to engage in a swordfight.

"That's right, keep him busy.", Mantack laughed. "While I get away with-." As if on cue, the Whale Zord, angry at the sight it had witnessed, leapt out of his hands and enlarged to its full size. "My-." Mantack saw the Whale fly up to behind his ship and fire a missile at the ship, damaging it.

"Oh no!", Wrench cried out as the circuitry aboard the ship began to explode. "That hit damaged a lot of vital systems. We won't survive another one." But the Whale didn't listen to or care for his pleas, firing another missile at the ship, completely destroying it beyond repair. And Wrench ended up standing in for the absent captain by going down with the ship.

Mantack, having witnessed all this from the ground, fumed. "My collection, all destroyed." He then swung his sword into a rock, smashing it in two. "But it's no matter. I can find another way off this planet. After I finish off the last of the Wild Fury Rangers."

"You'll have to go through us first." Mantack turned his head upwards to see the other 5 Rangers, all of whom came down to deliver kicks to his chest, hitting the scar Johnny had left him with. The combined force of the hits and the pain inflicted sent Mantack flying backwards.

"No, it can't be!", Nathan fumed. "Why did your team survive, but not mine?"

"Oh be quiet.", Johnny sighed as he managed to punch his clone back. He then ran up to his friends, with glee. "How did you guys survive that?"

"We don't know.", Tora answered him. "One minute, we were hit by that beam, the next, we were a few feet east of here."

"I guess that the universe didn't want a creep like Mantack to be the one to end us.", Luke suggested.

"Regardless, it's time we put an end to Mantack and his eyes on the Whale Zord once and for all."

"It's Morphin' Time!" Everyone took their Morphers out, as Johnny summoned the Whale Hyper Morpher. "Primal Spirits, Awaken!"

"Predator Spirits, Awaken!"

"Primal Evolution!"

In a few moments, everyone had assumed their Ranger forms. "Power Rangers Wild Fury!"

"No matter how many of you there are, I'll finish you off.", Mantack growled.

Johnny then had everyone break the pose as he walked forward. "You'd better not underestimate me and my friends.", he stated calmly.

"Your friends, huh?", Mantack commented as he took some silver coins out. "Perhaps I should cash in Keldor's payment to get rid of them then." He threw the coins, summoning a group of Bacteri.

And thus a fight broke out, with the 6 Rangers fending off the Bacteri horde that had appeared. After a series of fanciful fighting manoeuvres, they were all defeated. "If those grunts couldn't beat you, then I might stand a chance.", Nathan growled as he ran into the fray.

However, Johnny caught his imposter by the hand and began swinging him around. "You're just a weak copy of the original.", he stated as he ran away. "Even my friends could defeat you."

The other Rangers then ran in to fight Nathan. The 4 Animen held him in place, before launching consecutive kicks to him. Luke then ran forward to grab onto the copy, throwing him into the air. Everyone then pulled out their Primal Blasters. "Wild Fury Primal Blast!"

"My friends, I'll be coming to join you soon.", Nathan cried out as he took the 4 blasts, disintegrating into clone matter.

From the side, Keldor watched the battle in progress, as Metal Alice approached. "You have done well.", he said to the robot. "Looks like I'll be keeping you on."

"I live to serve only you, Master Keldor.", Alice nodded, as Keldor thought back to how this had come about.

A few hours ago, when Keldor left the control room on the ship, Alice had followed him to the laser control room, catching him tampering with the Magna Beam-turned laser. "What are you doing?", she asked.

"Oh, I'm just modifying the destruction cannon into a teleport ray.", Keldor answered her. "That way, the Rangers will be warped to safety and catch old Mantack off guard."

"You traitor!", Alice stated, before turning. "I'm going to inform Master Mantack of your duplicity."

"Oh no you don't.", Keldor hissed as he threw a sharp object at her, that pierced her neck. "This device is a modification of the technology used in compliance collars.", he explained. "Only this dissolves into its target's body, making the effect far more permanent. And it makes you totally loyal only to the first to give you commands." Alice subsequently stopped in place, ad the device dissolved into her body. "Now then, you're not going to inform Mantack of anything. In fact, you're going to free Johnny from his prison and guide him to the jump ship. After you've disabled the cameras."

"As you wish.", Alice nodded, before departing, as Keldor returned to his sabotage.

And back in the present, Johnny was facing down Mantack, swinging his Primal Saber at him. "You've got nothing left, Mantack.", the Whale Ranger pointed out as he locked sword with his foe, dragging the weapon closer to his face.

"Maybe.", Mantack answered as the sparks flew into his face. "But I'm still powerful enough to take all of you down before I leave this planet." He then knocked Johnny aside.

"Just try it.", Lenny called out as he leapt out from behind a cliff, delivering a slash that blocked Mantack's hook arm.

Marina and Tora then leapt forward. "When animals work together, nothing's impossible.", Marina stated, as the two fired their weapons at Mantack.

Trunks then leapt forward to swing his sword at the alien. "We're not gonna let you take the Cubezords.", Trunks told him succinctly.

"Not now, not ever.", Luke added as he came in swinging.

Now that all 6 Rangers were in range of his attack, Mantack used his sword. "You pathetic creatures." An energy slash soon scattered the Rangers, but didn't knock them out. "I've had enough of you."

But the Rangers quickly came running forward. "Primal Mode, Unleash!"

"Rock Quaker!" Trunks was quickest to launch an attack, that actually caused Mantack to stagger. Lenny and Tora then moved in to strike.

"Lion-tning Slash!"

"Freezing Slicer!"

Then came Marina. "Tidal Impact!"

With the Animen done, Luke then joined he fray. "Super Primal Mode, Unleash!" He grabbed onto Mantack, throwing him into the air. "Go long, Bro."

"Ok.", Johnny said as he leapt into the air. He delivered a kick that sent Mantack flying beyond the trees. "Let's go after him. He likely survived that."

Sure enough, Mantack landed in the middle of the woods. Keldor soon approached him, his sword in hand. "Not going well is it, Sailor.", he commented.

"Keldor!", Mantack gasped. "I need your assistance, and I know you need mine. You can't let me die."

"I said the Anima Arm was a vital asset.", Keldor said as he used the sword to cut off Mantack's good hand. "But the person it's attached to currently can go ahead and burn for all I care."

"Why you-!", Mantack growled as Keldor poked his sword towards him, before reaching down and sealing the severed hand in an energy sphere. "What do you hope to do with that?"

"Hopefully, use your abilities to their fullest potential, unlike you.", Keldor answered him, as he picked up the sphere and turned away, holding up a growth coin. "But fair exchange is no robbery. This should give you an edge." He dropped the coin next to Mantack, before departing.

Mantack growled, before inserting his sword into the stump on his arm, which healed over the weapon to turn it into a techno-organic harpoon. "I'll be taking that guy out next, it seems." He then ran back up to the Rangers, who had ran onto the scene. "But first, I'm going to take you freaks down!" He pointed his harpoon at them and fired an energy blast.

But Johnny used his Whale Morpher to create a shield. "Guys, would you mind lending me some extra power?", he asked.

"Right.", everyone nodded as they channeled their energies into Johnny, who then pumped the Whale Morpher six times, before they assumed a pose to steady the Whale Ranger as he fired his new attack. "Ultimate Primal Burst!"

"Bring it on!", Mantack stated as the group fired their shot, which was powerful enough to temporarily cool down the Sun for a second. The beam ended up hitting the bounty hunter, with what would be enough force to tear an ordinary being apart.

But Mantack was no ordinary being, as he recovered enough to pull out the coin he had been given. "Looks like it's time I made my last stand." He then devoured the coin, growing to giant size. "How do you like me now?"

The Whale then appeared in the sky. "Wait, what are you saying?", Johnny asked as he heard the Whale in his head.

"I hear it too.", Marina said. "He's saying that he now has the energy of the Rhino from our last attack, so he can create a combination of all 14 Cubezords."

Everyone then saw their Cubezords glowing, as a giant ring appeared in the sky that knocked Mantack down. "Looks like he didn't take long to create it.", Luke commented. "Let's use it."

"Right.", Johnny nodded as he reverted the Morpher back to the Golden Cube, pulling the handle 3 times. "Genesis Ultrazord, Ultimate Formation!"

"Zords, combine!" All 14 Zords then went through the ring, with the Whale detaching its missile cannons and Primordial Spear, before folding its tail inwards and opening a hatch on the front of its body. The Eagle, Shark, Lion and Elephant Zords were then skewered by one of the cannons in their cube modes, while the same happened to the Tiger, Gorilla, Alligator and Wolf Zords. As the Whale torso mounted itself on top of these two piles, the Rhino Zord detached its horn and trailer before driving into the hatch, leaving only the number "9" visible beneath the number "10" on the torso. Then the Bear and Bat cubes attacked to the two halves of the tail, with the Giraffe and Mole Zords attaching below them in weapon mode, forming a new set of arms. Then a new head formed on top of the torso, as one of the prongs of the Primordial Spear detached and became a helmet, while the weapon became a shoulder mounted cannon. "Genesis Ultrazord, ready!"

All the Rangers appeared within the Whale cockpit, with Johnny gaining the Whale Primal Burst Armour, while the other Rangers kept their own. "So this is our full power.", Johnny commented.

"Mantack wanted this so badly?", Trunks stated. "Let's give it to him."

"Indeed.", Marina nodded. "I'm not letting him take a relic of the Water People's, no, Cubalia's past for himself."

"Then let's stop him together.", Luke and Johnny said in unison, with the former wielding the control weapon.

Mantack then recovered to behold the new combination. "Thank you.", he laughed. "Now I can take all of the Cubezords at once. Archris won't know what hit him." The Ultrazord raised its arms, before marching towards him. "But like all good hunters, I have to catch my prey first." He slammed his harpoon arm into the ground, creating trails of fire that only served to enhance the Ultrazord's walk towards him.

"Not exactly saltwater fresh, is he?", Lenny asked.

"Well we're about to serve up this seafood.", Tora responded to this.

The Ultrazord emerged from the carnage and engaged Mantack in battle, with him swinging his harpoon onto its shoulder, while it used the Giraffe Arm to counter this. It then launched a punch with its Mole Arm. "Time to go all out.", Johnny said as he pulled the Golden Cube back into the Whale Morpher mode, ppthen pulling the trigger to enhance the power of their punches.

"You're remarkably persistent.", Mantack hissed.

"Time to end this.", Johnny stated as he had the Whale Morpher reverted to the Golden Cube, and then he folded up the handle of the control weapon to insert it into the cube. He then inserted his Wild Morpher, while Luke did likewise with his Morpher. As they did this, the components of the Ultrazord individually began to glow, before charging energy into both of its arms and helmet. "Let's go!"

"Genesis Creation Burst!" At the cry of all the Rangers at once, a wave of energy blaster Mantack down, causing him to crash backwards into a mountain.

Mantack quickly recovered, though he was already beginning to crackle with energy. "That almost did me in."

"You haven't seen all of it yet.", Johnny answered him as the Genesis Ultrazord generated a set of cube shaped pillars beneath its legs that propelled it upwards. It then unleashed a flurry of Cubezords, some familiar, some new, which crashed into Mantack before dispersing throughout the world. "You're done, Mantack."

"Right.", Mantack stated as he was no longer able to control the sparks. "Looks like you've proven the superior game against me." He then fell backwards and exploded.

"Top of the food chain!", all 6 Rangers declared, louder than usual.

Onboard the Arrowhead, Archris had been delivered news from Keldor. "What?", he stated.

"Exactly.", Keldor nodded. "The Rangers not only managed to defeat Mantack, but they unlocked a combination of all the Cubezords."

"Or at least, the ones in their possession.", Ignoblia interjected, as she pressed buttons on a tablet, bringin up a scan of Earth, with several glowing segments throughout the globe. "The aftermath of that blast led to large amounts of Neocadmium being scattered throughout the world."

"Neocadmium?", Archris asked. "What's that?"

Metal Alice then entered. "Neocadmium is a rare material, used primarily to create Morphers, weapons or Zords used by Power Rangers. While technically a metal, its atomic composition is more similar to a polymer."

"Did I mention that I'd captured Mantack's robotic assistant for my own use?", Keldor asked. "So that I could take care of business and be represented here, of course."

"Fine, do whatever you feel like.", Archris sighed. "Whether we talk to you or an assistant doesn't bother me."

"Yes, Lord Archris.", Keldor nodded.

Down on Earth, Marina went to the address she had been given, an abandoned car park. True to his word, Adrien was there waiting. "So, you actually came.", he commented.

"Yeah, because I really need to know.", Marina answered him. "Whoa re you really? Because I doubt your a lazy store clerk like Trunks makes you out to be."

Adrien sighed. "Alright, the truth. I'm an agent from Galactic Investigation and Detectives. I've been stationed on Earth ever since Archris appeared alongside you Rangers. I'm even aware the 4 of you are Animen from Cubalia. I was dispatched to this planet to try and limit Archris's plans to conquer it by any means."

He then held up a bottle that Marina found familiar. "You provided us with the antibacterial formula for Shotiki's germs."

"That's right.", Adrien nodded. "Though for the safety of our operation, I had to remain anonymous when giving them to you guys. A position I still have to maintain." He then handed her a pendant. "This will allow you to contact me in case of an emergency. But you mustn't tell any of your friends about me."

"Why not?", Marina asked. "Surely with our help, your organisation can take down Archris once and for all."

"That's the exact reason I'm reaching out to you now.", Adrien informed her. "But right now, I still need to remain hidden for the sake of my operation. So if you need anything, just press the hidden button inside the jewel and it'll transmit everything on your end to me."

"I'll bear that in mind.", Marina nodded as her Morpher began to beep, indicating an incoming call. "Do you mind? I should probably lay take this."

"Go.", Adrien assured her. "I'm not gonna get in the way of your regular life, and you shouldn't let me." He turned and then teleported away.

And so Marian returned to the zoo house to behold the important news from Jeremy. "You're leaving?", Johnny asked.

"Yeah, I picked up some signals similar to the Cubezords around the world.", Jeremy explained. "They seem to have popped up after you used the Genesis Ultrazord's attack."

"So you think we somehow created new Cubezords with that attack?", Trunks asked.

"Well there's only one way to find out.", Jeremy explained as he took out his enhancer, which had gained two more buttons on the keypad: one with a "10" and one marked with onomatopoeia. "This will react to and awaken any I find." He then moved to the door. "But don't worry, it's not goodbye. I'll see you again as soon as I find some results." He then spread his wigs out and took off flying.

"So, does that mean we have to do it ourselves for now?", Tora asked.

"I don't see what's so wrong with that.", Trunks said in response. "After all, we defeated the almighty Mantack, so I can't imagine there being much left that could challenge us."

"And besides, we're not alone.", Marina pointed out as she looked at her necklace.

"You're right, we've got a lot of friends and allies out there.", Lenny stated. "If something goes wrong, we can call on one of them."

"We won't have to.", Johnny stated. "We have the combined power of all 14 Cubezords at our disposal. We're going to use that power to stop Archris."
