Crosslands was a fairly new and burgeoning city. Founded in the days of the pilgrims as a remote frontier town, t had experienced very little growth and seen few events of note to the greater world. But around the turn of the millennium, a poll had been held among similar towns in the state to be "promoted" into a city. And Crosslands won out owing to talk of demons having inhabited the land at some point in the past making people want a larger town to make visits more worthwhile. And since then, Crosslands had expanded significantly, with multiple outlet stores, restaurants and other businesses setting up shop in the town. And the town had restructured its roads to make it more car friendly, for reasons that weren't clear to outsiders. And while the rest of California's top 30 cities were being attacked by aliens, demons and robots every year, aside from some spillage from the two invasions last year, Crosslands had prided itself on never playing host to any alien activity. Until our story began, that is.
At the James Electronics branch, the workers on the might shift were preparing to clock out for the day, their places taken by the night shift counterparts. Among the workers leaving was one Gordon Kent, a tall, conventionally attractive man in his late 20s, met with Mitzi, a shy woman with glasses, a beehive hairdo and a rather ill-fitting sweater. "So, Mitzi. If we're both due to get time off soon, have you considered my offer?"
"C-coming over to y-your house.", Mitzi gulped, nervously. "I-I still don't know. I've never r-really been on a d-date before. And w-what about your f-family?"
"Oh, my parents aren't around anymore, I assure you.", Gordon informed her.
"Oh.", Mitzi said, allowing a twinge of sympathy into her voice. "I-I'm sorry."
"Don't worry about it.", Gordon shrugged. "It's just me and my brother Leon. He won't bite." Gordon then moved to the door. "Think about my offer and get back to me."
As Gordon left, Mitzi moved to the door and locked it. She then started laughing, as she removed her glasses - actually a sophisticated variation on DNA cloak technology, one so good that it rewrote the target's thought processes when they were in the company of others. And with the time right, the woman transformed into a blue alien, with red hair similar to the tentacles of an octopus, three entirely yellow eyes around her forehead and prominent lips, with her clothes changed to a bandana on her head with a pirate logo in the centre, a collared shirt with red clasps instead of buttons, a red waistcoat with black stripes, a skirt with the left side half ripped off, the remaining part being worn over trousers that matched the pattern of the waistcoat, black gloves with red armour on the fingers and metal nails sticking out of the fingers and black leather boots with a yellow rim. The being that had posed as Mitzi took some screw like objects out of her pocket, throwing them to the ground, where they materialised as white and silver robots, with heads resembling permanent screams, metallic club-like weapons painted black and leather jackets without sleeves. When the alien woman spoke, it was with a different voice, accent and intonation to what she had used prior. "Robolts. Grab the servers an' load 'em into my ship. We're gettin' our payday today, lads." The Robolts cheered at this.
Outside the building, the impromptu pirate raid proceeded, with seemingly no impediment. "When the Boss gets our plunder, he'll pay us through the roof for it.", the piratical alien cheered.
But before she could get far, her party was stopped as a red convertible pulled up nearby, with the driver climbing out. But he was no ordinary driver. He wore a partially red, partially white and partially grey outfit with wheels on his shoes and back, with an unusual device on his left arm, an item in his hand resembling a cross between a screwdriver, a steering wheel and a wheel Jack. His face was obscured by a helmet with silver lips and a visor resembling a tire, with a red insignia in the centre. 0thats far enoug.", he said. "Put those servers down and walk away peacefully."
"Arr, so there still be Power Rangers on Earth.", the pirate growled. Nearby, a young police officer was walking by when he stopped and noticed the commotion. "Robolts, tear 'im limb from limb."
The robots proceeded to run into battle, with the Red Ranger running in with his weapon. "Have it your way, then. Wheel Saber!" He pressed a button on his Morpher, moving forward at a speed invisible to the human eye to cut through several of the Robolts. He then returned to normal speed, flooding up the blade to create a gun, with which he shot down several more. When the survivor of this assault tried to launch a sneak attack, the Ranger threw a kick behind him to defeat it. He then used his speed boost to catch up to the pirate as she got away. "I won't ask again. Give those servers back."
"The humans can keep 'em.", was her response. "I've already done with 'em what I was paid for."
"Paid?", Red repeated, confused. "You mean you're not part of the Galactic Mafia?"
The officer watching his reacted with confusion. "Galactic Mafia? Who are they?", he thought to himself.
"Nah, I'm part of the Rosebud Pirate Crew.", the female space pirate answered. "First Mate Tentaculaa, at yer service. The Galactic Mafia paid me to get a catalogue of every alien who's on this pile o' dirt legally. They be settin' up shop on this planet in the near future."
"I see.", Red said, his voice not showing much emotion. "Now then, I'd better turn you over to the SPD branch on this planet."
"I think yer'll find they only deal wit' aliens.", Tantaculaa stated as she took out her DNA Cloaking Glasses, crushing hem and stuffing them into her mouth. "And I be 1 'undred percent human 'til me DNA Cloak passes through me system." As she gulped, Tentaculaa's body glowed, as she transformed back into Mitzi, who stood there confused. "Huh, a Power Ranger. Did a monster show up at the office?"
"Yes, but she's gone now.", was Red's answer as he turned and walked away. "You'll be alright for the time being."
As he turned to leave and enter his car, he saw that there was a police officer within the vehicle, looking at him sheepishly. "Um, hi?"
"How much of that did you see?", Red thought to ask him.
"Enough to know there's some mob from outer space headed here.", was the man's answer. "And I'm guessing you're the one, or since Rangers normally come as a team, ones with the know-how and resources to stop them." He then realised something. "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. Bobby Peeler, at your service."
"Mal ain't gonna like this.", Red sighed as he climbed into the car. "Alright, Bobby Peeler. Buckle up. You've been drafted."
Deep in space, on an asteroid whose name is made up of syllables with no equivalent in English, the Galactic Mafia was holding its first summit since their Boss was arrested, found guilty at trial and sentenced to 100,000 years in the most secure prison in the Galaxy. In his absence, the summit was headed by the Boss's right hand Bovile. He was a stern-faced alien in a black armoured suit decorated in medals with a red tie, and his left shoulder had a skeletal cow-like creature's still living head grafted onto it. His suit also had a matador's cape hanging from his left arm. "This meeting is now called to order.", he declared.
The three Made Monsters that made up the hierarchy of the Galactic Mafia stood up. First among them was Roadhound, a cybernetic figure in a brownish-red military uniform with metal spikes on the shoulders and boots, a burn mark over his left eye, and a mechanical dog-like creatures fused into his left leg. His weapon of choice was a spear with a wheel on the bottom. "Roadhound, reporting for duty, sir."
The second was Technorg, a techno-organic being with a large, bulbous head, a face with goggles built into their eyes, a blue lab coat with prominent gloves and shoulder attachments and a transparent core on their chest. They held a trophy like implement in their hand. "Technorg acknowledges, temporary Mafia leader Bovile."
The final member of the group was Viperior, a silver figure with a brown collar resembling a snake's head around his shoulders and chest, with his mouth obscured by a blue part of said collar. The collar also had a robotic snake perched on Viperior's right shoulder. "Viperior responds, oh great one."
"There's no need for flattery, Viperior.", Bovile stated. "Your ability doesn't affect me. Now then, our first order of business is working on a plan to liberate the boss from his prison."
"Reviewing the case trial indicates probability of bail money being a 98.4% certain method to release the Boss from prison,". Technorg noted. "Operation: fund acquisition."
"But how will we do that?", Viperior asked. "Space Patrol Delta is impeding our operations in several of our established territories. Shaking down money from our debtors won't be nearly as effective as the old days."
"Which is why we must expand.", Bovile said in response. "Earth is a promising target that's escaped our notice for far too long now. Parts of the populace don't believe in extraterrestrial life, even though as we've found out, there are roughly one million non-terrestrials living on Earth as of this morning. All of them ripe for picking as new potential clients."
"And we need to sink our paws into them while the iron is hot.", Roadhound took over. "To that end, I've already sent some of my best soldiers on the job."
"Probability calculation: Roadhound deployed the Star Kats.", Technorg spoke up, their eyes glowing. "Conclusion: 76.38% likelihood."
Bovile sighed at this. "Oh, not the Star Kats. They destroy as much territory as they claim."
"The Star Kats are useless as scouts.", Viperior hissed.
"You're wrong!", Roadhound growled. "They'll do their job in setting us up. We only need them to establish that we're a force to be feared. And then we'll get the loot we need to free the Boss. Besides, I already sent them to the target hours ago. We can't do anything but wait for their first progress report."
"This can't end well.", Bovile stated, shaking his head.
On Earth, at the Crosslands diner known as "the Drive-In Bar", a man known as George Ford, in his late teens, wih slicked back hair and a semi-formal fashion sense, walked in, to be greeted by the newest staff member, a young woman recently moved in from out of town, whose hair was styled in a ponytail. Over the week she had been there, George had come to know her as Anna Ketchum. "What can I get for you?", she asked.
"Come on, Anna. I've been coming in here every day for years. My aunt owns the joint. If even the new girl doesn't know my usual order, then what's she been teaching you.", George commented, some mock-exasperation entering his voice.
"Alright Smarty-pants.", Anna snarked back at him. "Lemonade and a cookie." She then went over to a counter, picking the cookie out of the roach, while pouring his drink order. "Just because we've got inducted into 'the same club' doesn't mean we can act like we're friends."
"Give it time.", George stated as he took a bite out of the biscuit. "We haven't got to the heart of the matter yet. Once we get around to the job itself, we'll get on like a house on fire." As if on cue, they heard a loud alarm sound, as they raised their wrists to find they were now wearing the same bracelets as the Red Ranger. And a speedometer on them was in the red. "The Shift Morphers? What does this mean?"
"If I had to guess, something bad's about to go down.", was Anna's answer as she pressed a button to detach the main body of the device, before holding it to her mouth. "Give us the deets, Mom."
"How many times have I told you not to call me that?", the indignant male voice from the other end blurted. "Anyway, the signal indicates that some members of the Galactic Mafia are here. Be on the look out for anything unusual."
As if on cue, the two were shaken by a loud thud from outside. They ran to the door to behold a large black vehicle, with two smaller wheels surrounding a larger one, exhaust pipes on the front of the vehicle laid out like a cat's whiskers, which accentuated a leonine face with prominent metallic fangs and blue eyes. "I'm guessing that would be the 'something unusual' we were supposed to find.", George commented.
Onboard the giant vehicle were two figures, a male-looking figure with a jacket that seemed to be made of tires, black and blue striped trousers, shin guard with spikes on them and a head with hair and a beard that looked like a collection of metal rods. He wielded a staff that resembled a cross between a microphone and multiple speakers "So this is that planet Roadhound told us to check out.", he commented. "What was its name again? Eerf?"
"I think it was called 'Esrth' actually, Grillion.", was the response from his companion, a female cat-like alien, wearing an armoured white dress with mismatched pink and white gloves and boots. Her shoulder pads were similarly mismatched, but she had pictures of cats on both shoulders. "But if it's Eerf or Esrth, Kitten Pride is going to make her mark on this world."
"Yer both wrong, da planet's name is "Oith.", said the seeming vehicle they'd been riding on. "Now we need ta get to work for the Boss's sake." He then shrunk down and landed in the arms of Kitten Pride. "Now then, Grillion, K.P, let's get going."
"Ok, Meowbile, but try to remember who's in charge.", Grillion scolded his now tiny team-mate. "Let's let K.P have her fun."
"In that case, since I'm on a new planet, I'd better find out exactly what's in style here.", K.P decided, running off. "Let's go shopping!"
"W-wait for us.", Grillion and Meowbile cried out as the former ran after her.
From the side, George and Anna paid attention as the three went running off. "Are we sure these guys are a threat?", Anna asked. "They seem more dangerous to themselves."
"Exactly.", George stated. "And the less dangerous seeming alien menaces are always the most dangerous."
In his car, Red received a message on his own Morpher. "Yo, Red. We've sighted a group of alien thugs landing on the planet. They might be Galactic Mafia. Be on the look out for a pair of black and white cat creatures. Over and out."
"Who was that?", Bobby, who was still in the passenger's seat, asked.
"That was one of my team.", Red answered. "And if he's right, then we're in for some trouble." As if on cue, Grillion and K.P came running in. "Perhaps sooner that we think."
Instinctively, Bobby pulled out a bullhorn and yelled into it. "Attention aliens. Surrender quietly, or we'll be forced to use force."
"Keep it down you idiot.", Red hissed as he knocked the microphone out of his passenger's hands. But unfortunately, the Star Kats had all notified him. "Well, this was fun. But we should be going now." He put the car in reverse and drove off.
"Hey, don't you just insult our street cred and hightail it out of here!", Grillion growled.
"I did not come to this planet to get insulted by local law enforcement… this early.", K.P. nodded.
Meowbile then enlarged to his giant size once more. "Let's get after 'em."
"Right.", the other two nodded as they leapt up onto their companion/vehicle, charging after the Red Ranger's car and knocking several other vehicles off the road. "Yeah, high five.", they stated as they did the eponymous gesture at this wanton destruction.
"Looks like 'Oith' vehicles aren't up snuff with our machines.", Grillion declared proudly.
Meowbile proceeded to approach Red's car, firing lasers from his eyes individually. "Is there anything you can do to get these guys off our tail?", Bobby asked, panicking.
"Don't panic. I've got something.", Red answered as he pressed the button on his Morpher. "Engine Blaster, go! Buckle in, Bobby." The car transformed, deploying a roof and turning black with a blue lined pattern as it turned around so the occupants were facing their pursuers. The front of the car opened to reveal a hidden thruster, which fired with enough force to send the car propelling into the air. Bobby screamed at the sensation of being propelled through the air.
"Drat, dey got away.", Meowbile hissed. "Da Boss ain't gonna like dat someone stood up to us an' walked away."
The three then stopped at a red light, as an old lady walked by them at the crossing. "Why thank you, dearies.", she said waving at them. "It's nice to know there are some young people with a sense of responsibility."
"No problems, madam.", K.P said just as cheerily as she waved the old lady off. Then she turned and noticed just what was nearby. "Ah, some Earth clothes outlets."
"Guess dis is our stop.", Meowbile said as he shrunk down and everyone ran towards the clothes store.
Inside the store, the shopping assistant, Mina Chandra, screamed as K.P came running in. "Hi there.", the cat-like alien said cheerily. "I'd like to try on some of the local fashions and your place is where I've chosen to start."
"Um, we-I would be happy to serve you, Miss… Alien Catwoman.", Mina said in response. "But I'm not sure we can really provide you with a strong variety. We mostly sell wedding dresses."
K.P seemed confused by this term. "You have whole dresses purely for weddings?"
"Y-yeah.", Mina nodded. "They're traditionally worn by women during their special day wherein they marry the ideal man for them."
"Hmmm." K.P reached into the back of her skirt as Grillion and Meowbile entered the store.
"I know dat look.", Meowbile said nervously.
"I think she's about to create an Autmobeast with her Overclock Key.", Grillion nodded in agreement.
Sure enough, K.P took out a large key like object and ran forward, inserting it into a particularly beautiful looking wedding dress and turning it. "Time to make some mayhem, my Wedding Pest."
The key merged into the dress, causing it to be surrounded by energy, that dispersed to reveal a robotic creature, that possessed a skirt and a collar resembling the wedding dress that it was seconds prior, all held on by screws. It also had eyes surrounded by fire, a face resembling a carnival mask. In lieu of hands, it had a blade on the end of the right arm and a gatling gun made of candles on the left. When the creature dubbed Wedding Pest spoke, it was with a female voice. "Now it's time that I created some real love around these parts." Using her cannon arm, Wedding Pest shot Mina, causing her to be decked out in a resplendent bridal gown. Then she picked her up. "Time to find you a dashing hubby to complete a pair."
"Ooh, I like this one.", Grillion decided as the 4 left the store behind.
In a remote location, the jet propelled car came in to land in an underground facility, with Bobby being quick to climb out of the car and throw up. "Glad to see you took that well.", Red commented. "Thouh you left a mess that Mover will have to clear up."
"Mover?", Bobby asked as he stood up to be greeted by a white robot with a truck's cab on its chest, gangly red arms, thick white legs with wheels in he centre, and a head with a mouthplate, large eyes and an insignia similar to Red's that was obscured by a metal plate. "You're…"
"M0-VR, at your service.", the robot answered. "Lee here calls me 'Mover', while the other two call me 'Mom'. No prizes for guessing which I prefer." He then turned to Red. "Lee, why did you bring this guy here?"
"He saw enough of my fight to learn about what we're doing.", Lee answered. "And he was in the car with me when those Mafia thugs attacked me. We're going to have to recruit him or kill him."
"Well I think our liaison won't be happy about the second choice.", Mover answered him, before moving to shake Bobby's hand. "Congratulations, kid. You're a Power Ranger now."
"Oh. Okay.", Bobby said, his face developing a smile. "When do I start?"
"There's a procedure we'll put you through before we can give you a Morpher.", Mover answered, before he turned to Lee. "And talking of Morphers, George and Anna reported in. Those Space Mobsters you encountered- the Star Kats. They've created a monster that's causing chaos in town."
"What kind of chaos?", Lee asked.
Mover went over to a computer terminal and activated it, showing footage of Wedding Pest blasting people throughout the city. Men were placed in formal tuxedos, while women were given gorgeous bridal gowns, with the victims forcibly hugging the nearest person of the opposite sex. "If we don't stop this, there'll be a lot of snap marriages in Crosslands, with presumably no chance for divorce."
"I'm on it.", Lee nodded. "Keep an eye on our new kid." He pressed the pedal on his Morpher, zooming off in the blink of an eye.
In the city, Wedding Pest zapped a woman sat outside a coffee shop in the midst of kissing her girlfriend and the male barista, walking out the door, forcing them into wedding clothes and making them hug each other. "That's another couple I'm pronouncing man and wife. Now kiss each other, or I'll never let you unstick."
Then George and Anna came running onto the scene. "Really? I'd like to know your qualifications as both a matchmaker and an ordained registrar.", Anna called out.
"Unless you want to be my next match, then you'd better step away if you know what's good for you.", Wedding Pest declared as she used her blade arm to deliver a slash attack.
"Don't worry, lady.", George stated as he and Anna took out their Morphers. "We've got our own clothes changes provided. He pressed down on the pedal. "Ready?"
Anna then made a second press. "Set!"
Both then pressed their pedals a third time. "Morph!" They ran the wheel on the bottom of their Morphers down their arms, with their Ranger suits forming over them. They were similar to Lee's, but George's was blue and had a three pronged hubcap for a visor, while Anna's was pink and had a 6 pronged hubcap for the visor.
From the side, this was viewed by the Star Kats. "Oh great, more of those rainbow jerks that yelled at us.", K.P yelled, throwing some capsules onto the ground. "Robolts, go out and crush these party poopers."
As the Robolts materialised, Lee arrived on the scene. "About time you got here.", George chided his teammate lightly.
"You try running all the way here in friction proof clothing.", Lee answered. "Even with the maps uploaded, it took a while to navigate. Anyway, let's introduce ourselves to our visitors." He then spun around to perform a pose. "Booster Red!"
George followed with his own. "Booster Blue!"
And Anna completed the posing. "Booster Pink!"
"All together, Power Rangers Turbo Boosters!"
From the base, Mover and Bobby observed all this. "You picked these guys?", Bobby asked.
"Yep, I picked them.", Mover nodded. "Now let's see them in action."
From around the corner, the Star Kats watched the battle. "Oh no, Power Rangers.", they said in unison.
"Drag them down the aisle, my Ring Bearers.", Wedding Pest demanded of the Robolts, who ran in.
"Let's go.", Lee stated as he and the other Rangers pulled out their Wheel Sabers, George holding his in gun mode while the other two used sword mode, with Anna holding hers upside down. The battle began in earnest, with Anna dodging a hit from a Robolt, before whacking it on the head with her handle. Lee then slashed another Robolt into exploding, before moving to face Wedding Pest. "Take her down and all this will go back to normal." He caught her sword within his, before kicking her back.
"Easier said than done.", George said as Lee dodged missiles fired by the monster. He then fired on the two Robolts attacking him, blowing them up. "Especially with these screw heads on our twelve." He then faced down a trio of gunman Robolts, dodging their shots before launching his own to destroy them all.
Anna meanwhile was spinning her Wheel Saber around to deflect shots from her opponents. "We just need to wheel it.", she said as most of her Robolts blew up from the reflected shots, before she went on to knock the final one away like a baseball. "I always wanted to be a professional batter. Even played on a local team for a while."
"Why'd you stop?", Wedding Pest asked.
"I don't want to talk about it.", Anna answered her.
Lee then unleashed two slashes to Wedding Pest to knock her down. "Let's combine our powers.", he suggested.
"Right.", the other two said as they all pressed the same button on their Wheel Sabers, before Red drew a downward line, followed by a circle, which he set spinning. "Turbo Booster Obstruction Slash!"
All three then zoomed forward to deliver slashes to Wedding Pest, before Lee's threw her into the no access sign he had created. "If anyone knows why I shouldn't be destroyed, speak now or forever hold your peace!", she cried out as she exploded, leaving a ring of glowing fire where she stood.
From the sidelines, the Star Kats observed this all with disappointment. "And she seemed like a good one.", Grillion and K.P said sadly.
"It ain't over yet.", Meowbile growled as his eyes turned from blue to red. He then leapt out of K.P's hands to devour the energy left by Wedding Pest's destruction. He grew giant with every bite. "Time to take this back to base.", he shouted as he entered a portal he generated.
"He's using a Hyper Dimensional Road.", Mover radioed them. "You can use the Zords to cut him off before he delivers that energy. If allowed to be stored up, it could destroy a planet."
"Only one thing for it then.", Lee decided. "Release the Zords, Mover."
"Right.", the mechanical partner to the Rangers nodded as he pressed a button. A total of 10 Zords resembling cars - a blue off-roader, a pink station wagon, a black police car, a purple police van, an orange bulldozer, a yellow excavator, a metallic red classic car, a red racing car, a lion themed yellow bus and a turquoise aquarium tanker - were released. "Let's go." Mover then transformed into a trailer truck and enlarged to join the others on the Hyper Dimensional Road, leaving Bobby alone.
"I guess I'm on monitor duty.", he decided.
Back at the battlefield, Lee handed smaller versions of the blue and pink Zords to their appropriate wielders. "Use these to select the Zords you want to synchronise with and pilot.", he explained before pulling out one for Mover's trailer form.
The three plugged their chosen Zords into the back of their Morphers, with Lee entering a sitting position, with the Wheel Saber being held like a steering wheel, and the wheels on his back and boots folding outwards to connect with a seat that formed around him as he materialised within the Zord. He then inserted his Morpher onto the steering wheel, as his belt buckle transformed into a seatbelt. "Turbo Trailer, lock in!"
The other two Rangers then appeared in their own chosen Zords. "Blue Mountain, lock in!"
"Pink Cruiser, lock in!"
A chase then began down the Hyper Dimensional Road, with the three moving away from the rest. "This isn't what I expected when I learned I'd get to pilot a Zord.", Anna commented as she beheld her surroundings.
"You'll get used to it after a few laps.", Mover informed her.
"I sure hope so because this is awesome enough already.", came the response from Anna.
A "turn left" indicator appeared on Lee's monitor, with the three following the direction to catch up to Meowbile. "Aw, not you twoips again.", he bemoaned.
"You're expecting someone else?", George asked, sarcastically.
"Nothin's gonna stand in da way of my delivery.", Meowbile growled as he launched bombs from his exhausts, which went off in front of the faces of his foes, but ultimately proved little more than a minor annoyance.
From Earth, the other two Star Kats observed the action. "Meowbile's handling pretty well for a vehicle without a driver.", Grillion noted.
"Those other cars though? They look cool.", K.P argued. "I've gotta steal them for our next race."
"No arguments here.", Grillion said, as the two got excited. "I'm sure the boss would love them."
Back on the Hyper Dimensional Road, the explosions were still going off. "I've had it with all this fire.", Anna growled furiously as she slammed down on her accelerator, leaping ahead and matching the pace of Meowbile.
"Hey, no freeloaders!", Meowbile declared as the two vehicles began to ram each other. Eventually, the Star Kat got the advantage and rammed Anna into the side of the road.
"Eat this, you clown!", Anna cried as she did a manoeuvre that caused her to flip to the other side of her opponent and ram him, sending him spinning backwards.
"That's the hard part dealt with.", George noted.
"And Anna's left us wih the easy part.", Lee said as he zoomed forward and had the Turbo Trailer spin around with enough force to send Meowbile flying off the road.
Back on Earth, a portal opened from which Meowbile emerged, barfing out his consumed energy to reconstitute Wedding Pest as a giant, while he landed on Grillion's head returned to his smaller size, while his compatriot fell down. "Duh, da duh duh. Duh, da duh duh!", the monster announced.
"Oh, not this thing again.", Anna bemoaned. "I bought we got rid of him."
A new signal appeared on Lee's view screen. "Time to combine and finish this freak.", Mover declared.
"Right.", Lee said in response. "Initiate sequence." Mover's body opened up, with the trailer splitting in two down the middle, and the cab flipping upwards. Blue Mountain and Pink Cruiser drove through the gap, transforming to gain a screw head with wings and a claw formed from the door and hood respectively. The two halves that had been the trailer rotated 180 degrees and folded up the other way, with parts of then folding down to reveal Mover's upper legs and his arms, as the legs selected as the wheels on the bottom descended to reveal a head that looked like Mover's normal head, but with a more menacing looking face without the metal plate, ensuring the wheel insignia was visible. "Accel Booster Megazord, transformation complete."
"Now let's engage linkup.", George said as he reversed onto Mover's right arm, with the doors folding further inward to greate a gauntlet.
"You too, Anna.", Mover instructed.
"Keep your helm on, I'm coming.", Anna called back as she also reversed, with the car attaching upside down to create a proper claw.
With his new cape flowing, Mover appeared in the real world to face Wedding Pest. "Let's end this Automobeast.", he declared as a traffic light by his foot changed to green, at which point he charged in.
The two combatants locked their weapons. "Your little sword can't hurt me.", Wedding Pest announced.
"Then let's see how you like my claw action.", Mover responded as he used his other arm to knock her weapon away. The two then engaged in wrestling, causing some minor damage to the surroundings.
"Let's go with a spin kick.", Lee decided as he turned his wheel, causing Mover to spin around until he launched his kick, which landed on their opponent, knocking her into an incomplete building which collapsed under her weight.
But the monster quickly recovered. "Just for that, prepare for divorce.", she declared as she ran in to attack, firing missiles at her opponent.
But Mover was able to glide out of the way of the shots. "Too slow.", he declared as he moved close enough to the enemy for George to analyse the screws on her body.
"Let's take her armour apart so she can't use any weapons.", George decided as his piloted Mover to rapidly remove every screw on Wedding Pest's body, causing her armour and weapons to fall off, which she sheepishly tried to cover up.
"Now it's my turn.", Anna decided as she used her claws and the ruins of the scaffolding and the screwdriver to construct a cage around Wedding Pest. "That's for all your creepy actions."
"Let's finish this.", Lee stated as he had a giant version of the Shift Morpher appear on Mover's back, with all three Rangers pressing the pedals on their own. "Super Screw Saber Strike!"
Mover moved forward to deliver a downward slash to his opponent. "Let's see how you like the cut of my jib."
This blow fatally wounded Wedding Pest as Mover came to a stop. "They love me, they love me not!", she cried out as she exploded.
On the ground, all the people trapped by her spell were freed, restored to their normal clothes and able to move away from the people hey were paired with. Among them was a man in workman clothes who had been paired with Mina. "So um…"
"Kit. Kit Boxer.", the man answered her.
"Well Kit Boxer, this was fun, but I wouldn't be jumping to repeat it.", Mina said to him.
"That's fair.", Kit nodded, as he looked up at the Megazord. "I think I've found someone else I'd like to be with."
Back at the Rangers' base, the Turbo Trailer Zord pulled in before reverting to Mover's base form, with the three Rangers ejecting. "Welcome back.", Bobby said. But then he realised the Blue and Pink Rangers were dying him. "Oh right, you two don't know about me."
"You're darn right we don't know you.", George said in response. "Lee, who is this guy?"
"He's our newest recruit, but he's not a Ranger yet.", Lee answered. "Now then, it's only fair we introduce ourselves to him." He then removed his Morpher and pressed the pedal, dispersing his suit to reveal a young man in casual clothes. "I'm Leon Kent, but my friends call me 'Lee'."
