Episode 581: Power Rangers HyperForce: Save Marv
"We've been searching Marv for three days" said Chloe "and we haven't made any progress. I say we march into Alex's office and demand he send an army of Rangers!"
"That'll give away our position" said Jack "not to mention, we don't need an army, we need a location"
"Rangers" said Alpha "we're receiving a transmission"
"Accept it, Alpha" said Eddie and Jen Scotts appears on the screen
"Rangers" said Jen "Commander Oliver told me what happened to Marv. I am unable to come and help you at this time. However, I've sent a beacon out to the universe to be on the lookout for Marv. We will find him. May the Power protect you" and the transmission ended
"A beacon for Marv?" Chloe asked "why didn't they do this for Joe months ago?"
"Maybe they're not as ignorant of Joe's disappearance as they want us to think" said Jack
"Guys" said Vesper "I've tapped into the Morphing Grid to track Marv's Morpher"
"Vesper" said Chloe "follow those coordinates!"
"Aye, aye, Captain Chloe!" said Vesper
On the Skyship, the Megaforce receives a transmission from Cruger
"I'm afraid I've got bad news" said Cruger "Marvin has been captured"
"What?!" said Troy
"I can't reveal the circumstances surrounding it but we're sending a beacon out to all the Rangers to look for him" said Cruger "He is on a stolen Time Force ship, I'm transmitting the ship's energy signature to you. You may use any resources at your disposal to find him. I will let you know if someone else finds him first"
"C'mon guys" said Troy "let's go find my son!"
On the Alliance Leader's ship, Marvin is a white room, filled with fog, and it is extremely cold. His Morpher is missing. There are energy bars keeping him in, with Putties throwing rocks at him. All of a sudden they scatter
"Hello, Marvin" said the Alliance Leader
"What do you want?" Marvin asked
"Tired of this routine yet?" the Alliance Leader asked
"You're not going to get any answers out of me" said Marvin
"Doesn't matter" said the Alliance Leader "I didn't even want you anyways"
"Then let me go" said Marvin
"I can't do that" said the Alliance Leader "I want your android"
"I don't know how to do that" said Marvin "I'd need a way to contact the ship"
"Ah, ah, ah" said the Alliance Leader "I'm not going to fall for your tricks so easily. You have been like a pesky gnat buzzing around my head, interfering with the Alliance plans. But it is futile, everything you and the HyperForce have been attempting, my destiny and the movements that will fulfill it have already begun to move"
"You're wrong" said Marvin "you think the Rangers aren't going to stop you? Even if you take me out, even if you take the HyperForce out, there's an entire army of Power Rangers that can stop you, not to mention Zordon Himself"
"An army of Rangers?" the Alliance Leader asked "who says that's not the very thing I want?"
"What do you want?" Marvin asked "what's the point of this conversation?"
"I want to know why the HyperForce ship appears out of nowhere and can track my ship"
"Wait" said Marvin "you don't know anything do you? You don't know what we're capable of. That just shows me how weak you are, how foolish your plan is. You stole a fleet of Time Force ships, but didn't bother to check the specs beforehand. Your plans are doomed to fail, if for no other reason than you didn't bother to do your homework beforehand"
"Didn't bother to my homework?" the Alliance Leader asked "maybe I can capture Eddie's parents. Or destroy Vesper, as she's one of the few beings left that can die. I can even kill SPD's robot dogs too!"
"Whatever you want" said Marvin "you're not going to get it out of me"
"How can I get my hands on that android" said the Alliance Leader "I need the cloaking and tracking technology in it to aid my plans"
"It's not Alpha" said Marvin "we placed a tracker on your ship"
"A tracker on my ship?!" the Alliance Leader asked "tell me or you die!"
"You can't kill me, you know that right?" Marvin asked
"Right" said the Alliance Leader "I keep forgetting. Putties! The Red Ranger says there's a tracker on my ship, search the premises!" All of a sudden, the ship starts to shake
"Uh, boss" said Velcanos over the intercom "the HyperForce ship has caught up to us"
"What?!" said the Alliance Leader
"Looks like they found you already" said Marvin "took 'em long enough"
"Velcanos" said the Alliance Leader "prepare for attack mode. Disable, but do not destroy that ship. Once it is stable, use the Invisportal technology we stole from Mercer Industries to board the ship, capture the Rangers and the android" and he leaves Marvin alone. Marvin hears something or someone moving around the room
"Who's there?" Marvin asked, but no one answers.
"Ow!" said a voice from by the bars along with a zap from the bars
"I know you're there" said Marvin
"Oh forget it" said a voice and the Time Force Silver Ranger appears.
"Hello" said Marvin and the Silver Ranger motions to stay quiet, Marvin nods
"Who are you?" Marvin asked and the Silver Ranger takes off his helmet
"Hey, Cap" said Joe
"Joe, you're back?" Marvin asked "where have you been?"
"We don't have time for that" said Joe "we need to get out of here"
"How?" Marvin asked and Joe teleports outside of the bars and destroys the control panel for the energy bars with his Chrono Saber, disabling the bars
"Okay, that was cool" said Marvin and then alarms start to go off "that is not"
"We've got to go!" said Joe
"Where?" Marvin asked
"The control room" said Joe
"Why?" Marvin asked
"Look the mission that made me go MIA can be ended right now if we crash this ship" said Joe "then I can go home" and they make their way for the control room. They see Velcanos directing Putties
"Find the Red Ranger!" said Velcanos
"Oh should probably give you this back" said Joe and he hands Marvin his HyperForce Morpher
"Where'd you get that?" Marvin asked
"Found it laying around" said Joe and Marvin puts it on and insta-morphs
"Hyper Blade Blaster!" said Marvin and he cuts through the Putties. Velcanos shows up and throws a ball of lava at Marvin.
"My turn little bro" said Joe "Silver Dash!" and hits Velcanos. Velcanos summons several Putties towards Joe "Rhythm Breaker!" and he hits Velcanos again. Velcanos throws a pair of lava rocks at Joe, who dodges them. Marvin looks in the control room, seeing the Alliance Leader. He backs away and heads towards the engine room
"Hyper Blade Blaster!" said Marvin and starts smashing random parts around the room. The ship jerks as the lights start flickering. Marvin then starts speaking into his Morpher "Guys, can anybody hear me?"
"Marv?" Chloe asked
"Chloe" said Marvin "I need to be teleported off this ship, now!"
"We can teleport you" said Vesper "don't worry about it"
"Someone else is here" said Marvin "a Time Force Ranger"
"A Time Force Ranger?" Jack asked as the Alliance Leader approaches the engine room
"Get me off this ship now!" said Marvin
"What about the other Ranger?" Vesper asked
"He can teleport himself" said Marvin
"No Time Force Ranger had the Power of teleportation" said Eddie
"This one does" said Marvin "I need help"
"Locking onto your coordinates now" said Alpha and he teleports Marvin to the HyperForce ship. Chloe immediately gives him a hug
"You're okay" said Chloe
"I missed you too Chloe" said Marvin
"Hey Marv" said Eddie "what color was the Time Force Ranger?"
"Silver" said Marvin
"There's no Silver Time Force Ranger" said Eddie
"There is now" said a voice and they turn to see the Silver Ranger
"A new Ranger?" Eddie asked "there hasn't been a new Ranger since…"
"Us?" Vesper asked
"Well, yes" said Eddie
"That's not the only surprise" said Marvin
"It's not?" Jack asked
"Power Down" said Joe and he demorphed
"Joe!" said Chloe "you're back!" And she runs over to hug Joe
"What happened, partner?" Jack asked
"I wish I could tell you" said Joe "I can't explain much, I can't tell you why I was gone, and I can't tell you where I've been or what I've been doing. But I love all of you. It would've been nice to crash the Alliance Leader's ship and end this all now, but damaging their ship will cripple them, so good job, Cap"
"You can't do this to me" said Marvin "you owe me an explanation"
"I need to go" said Joe "I wasn't even supposed to be here, but when I heard Jen's beacon, I knew I had to save you. This is bigger than you or me"
"Don't take too long to come back" said Marvin
"I won't" said Joe "I'll see you all very soon. May the Power protect you" and insta-morphs and teleports away
"Alpha, get us out of here" said Marvin
"Right, Cap" said Alpha and they return to the Hyperstream
"Marv" said Jack "did you get any more idea on their plans?"
"They seemed to think Alpha was the key to tracking them" said Marvin "I told them we put a tracker on their ship. Guys, they don't know nearly as much as we thought they did"
"Alpha" said Chloe "what would they need with you?"
"I don't know" said Alpha "I'm just an Alpha unit. We're able to track them via the HyperForce ship, which is the most advanced ship created by Time Force, short of the Zords"
"Guys" said Marvin "I just realized something else. When I was on the ship, the Alliance Leader acted like he kept forgetting he couldn't kill me"
"That's odd" said Eddie "we all grew up in the Millennial Kingdom, I honestly usually have the opposite problem, I forget that you used to be able to kill people"
"Do you think he grew up during the Tribulation?" Vesper asked
"I don't think so" said Marvin "while there was certainly a lot of death during the Tribulation, he made it sound like he used to kill people himself. There aren't a ton of murderous five year olds"
"Five year old humans, no" said Jack "but we've met aliens that are fully developed by age five, they could've become murderous"
"But someone who had unrepentedly murdered people would've been wiped out by Zordon's wave" said Chloe
"Unrepentedly" said Eddie "what if he had truly repented and then backslid?"
"That's possible" said Jack "but if he had truly repented, that would mean he'll repent of what he's doing now eventually"
"But until he does that he's immortal…" said Vesper
"Guys" said Marvin "I was hoping this mission would end in no more than a hundred years, probably less, as the Alliance Leader would reach his hundred birthday and then die, hopefully taking the Alliance with him. But if he truly repented in the past we will have to deal with him until he repents… which could end up not being until the near of the Millennial Kingdom…"
On the Skyship, Cruger appears to the Megaforce again
"Marvin's been found" said Cruger "he's safe"
"Thank God" said Emma "who do we have to thank?"
"I'm afraid that's classified" said Cruger
"Can we at least see our son?" Troy asked
"I'm sorry, but no" said Cruger "it would endanger him and the others"
"Because he was totally safe being captured by an unknown enemy" said Jake
"I know, I know" said Cruger "but attempting to contact him now will give the enemy their exact coordinates. You don't want that. On the bright side, I do have a lead on your other son"
"Joe?" Emma asked "you know where Joe is?"
"I know where Joe was" said Cruger "and I have a lead on where he is. I will be personally investigating it. I will find Joe and bring him home"
"Tell us your lead and we'll help" said Troy
"I can't" said Cruger "it's classified. This mission requires stealth and sorry, a giant red flying pirate ship isn't exactly stealth"
"Nor does a giant tank with a dog head" said Jake
"I use the Black Dino Powers now" said Cruger
"And you're saying a brachiosaurus is better?" Jake asked
"I'm saying the powers of invisibility is what's needed" said Cruger "but I will find him, you have my word" and he ends the transmission
Next time on Power Rangers HyperForce:
The HyperForce tags along with Cruger to bring Joe home. Will they be able to find him? Find out next time on Power Rangers HyperForce!
