Mission Four: Messiah's Message

Enter receives a message from Messiah that concerns him deeply. He knows that he hasn't defeated the Rangers and is worried that he will be deleted. He activates the hologram screen and suddenly a stream of ones and zeroes appear in front of him and take a physical form. Messiah appears in front of him and he is alarmed that he appeared so soon.

"Master, is that you?"

"Yes you half-brain, it's me. Why haven't you stolen any Entertron?"

"Well sir, I was waiting for you to come back."

"You know as well as I know that I don't have enough energy to come back."

"I know, and I need you help to deal with those pesky Power Rangers!"

"Well, maybe you need to rethink your strategy because I won't do that for you."

"But sir-"

"Don't interrupt me you swine! I came here to warn you that if you don't give me the Enertron I promise that the next time I come I will personally delete you myself."

"Fair enough sir."

A visibly shaken Enter turns off the monitor and cowers in the corner. He shivers and in the back of his mind knows that he needs more time to get the Enertron. He gets up, dusts himself off and decides to continue his quest to steal the Enertron.

Back at the base, Commander Leon is strategizing with Officers Bratt and Banks about their next strategy. The Special Ops team has not arrived for their next assignment and he is concerned that they might not be prepared for what is coming next.

"So Bratt, do they know who we're dealing with?"

"No, do you?"

"Yes. The guilt still gets me, but I have to get past that."

"Commander, you can't keep that a secret from them. You have to tell them eventually."

"Bratt, I understand, but-"

"Sir, if you don't tell them they will find out themselves."

"I know Banks. This is why I will tell them when the time is right. Especially John."

"Does he know?"

"No, but if he ever found out what really happened to his parents he would never forgive me."

"Well sir, I think the time to come clean will come soon."

The Special Ops team arrives and the three awkwardly wave at them in order to throw off any suspicion that they were having a serious conversation. Commander Leon turns on the projector and gives them the next assignment.

"Alright Rangers, I am giving you the next assignment."

"What is it sir?"

"Well Lane, your mission is to go into the city and protect the Enertron from the Vipers. They will try again to steal the energy source."

"Why? They already gave up the last time."

"I know, but they will try again. Johnson and Lane, you will be riding on the Omega SUV while John uses his Buddyroid to ensure that the Enertron is transported safely."

"Sir, that's a suicide mission. Me and Andrew won't-"

"Don't question me! I need you to understand this. If we don't get this right, Messiah will come back!"

"Who is Messiah?"

"Don't worry about that Steel, you'll know in the days to come. Right now, get out there and protect the Enertron!"

"Yes sir! Nick let's go."

"You got it John! I'm all revved up and ready to go."

The trio head down to the city where a group of Vipers are already attacking the Enertron transport truck. John jumps to it and struggles to get a grip. One of the Vipers tries to attack John but Andrew arrives and blasts it. Perry steers the SUV to ensure they are close enough to the Enertron. John fights off the Vipers and helps the driver retain control of the truck. Perry rams several Vipers causing them to short circuit. However, an unknown machine approaches them and attacks the vehicles.

"You guys okay?"

"We're okay John."

"Come on, let's see who this guy is. Hey asshole! Get out of our way or we're going to kill you."

"I wouldn't be talking like that if I were you. I will soon rule over you all. But right now I am too weak to kill you. So I will leave you here alive and with the Enertron. After all, I promise to come back-"

John immediately attacks him and they engage in a fight that lasts for a few minutes. Andrew and Perry join him and they fight the machine. However, just as he arrived he disappears without a trace.

"What the hell was that?"

"I don't know Perry, but he's gone now. Commander, did you see that?"

"I did. Return to base."

"Yes sir. Come on guys, let's get out of here."

The team head back to the base with the Enertron safely transported back.
