After meeting the two new Rangers for the first time, the team returns back to base to be debriefed by the Commander. Officers Bratt and Banks greet the two and they settle in. Commander Leon turns on the monitor and shows them a new solo mission.
"Alright Rangers, I have a new mission that requires stealth and intelligence gathering. There is one place where our sources say the Vipers have been in and out of. They seem to be transporting unknown cargo to this location. What I need to know is what is it that they're carrying and where? Jake, since you have extensive experience in intelligence, I elect that you go."
"Yes sir."
"Wait sir, but why him? Why not us?"
"Do not question me Steel. This is the man for the job. Alright, here is your mission package for you to download."
He hands Jake a usb drive and Jake pulls up his sleeves and reveals a tube that allows him to plug it in. This stuns the three as they did not expect that to happen.
"Uh sir, how is it possible that he's doing that?"
"Well, it's a good thing you asked. Jake is a Buddyloid."
The three look at each other and then look at Jake. They have no idea what to say and what to do at the moment. The silence fills the room for a few minutes as the awkwardness settles in.
"How is it possible? I mean look at him, he looks like a human."
"I knew you guys would say that. Oscar, explain."
"Well, when I was in Ukraine I was working on artificial intelligence and human awareness. My intent was to built a machine that would have human qualities and still have the ability to store more information. Jake was my creation. Unfortunately, I had to escape Ukraine because of the civil war that was tearing them apart after 20 years. So, Omega Defense recruited me and here I am."
"Do not worry Rangers, I will attempt to be as human as possible. I want to learn more from you because I have yet to know how it feels to be human."
"Well, I know it's strange for you Jake, but you'll get used it. I'm not used to you looking human, but I'll try to get over it."
"Very well John. I am off to my mission now Commander."
"Excellent, good luck."
Jake runs at lightspeed and uses the coordinates given to him to find the location of the Vipers. He arrives and immediately uses his binoculars to investigate their activities.
"Jake, are you there?"
"Yes, it appears that the Vipers have a new shipment coming in."
"Alright, follow it closely."
Jake sprints near a garbage disposal and follows the cargo truck to a nearby depot. He uses his strength to cut down the chains from a fence and checks to see if they're people. Jake then discovers strange barrels that they carry to a nearby room.
"Sir, the barrels are being transported to another room."
"Take a barrel and see what it is."
"Yes sir."
Jake follows closely and stealthly attacks a Viper putting his body out of sight. He sneaks into the cargo truck and steals a barrel without any effort. He then opens it and discovers that Enertron has been stored inside the barrels. He immediately heads into the room and using his x-ray vision, peers into the next room. He notices a strange object and a group of Vipers carrying the barrels into it. He sneaks quickly into the room and hides behind a crane. What he then discovers is a portal that looks similar to the one that Andrew had encountered in his mission. The barrels are being transported into that portal and that concerns Jake.
"Sir, they're carrying the barrels into the portal."
"What? Where?"
"I don't know, but I need to go in to find out."
"Stand down, I don't need you to be going into a place that you are not sure about."
"Sir, this is my opportunity to do this so it's now or never."
"No, stand down!"
"Sorry sir, but this is what I have to do."
Jake rushes in and attacks the Vipers. They are surprised to see him, but spare no time to attack him. Jake enters the portal and ends up meeting Enter and Escape again.
"Well, well, looks like we have company. I hate company."
"Now, now Enter, I'm sure we can make use of this situation."
"I'm taking you guys down. I don't know what you're planning, but I'm not going to let you get away with it."
"You have no chance against us!"
Enter and Escape fight Jake but he manages to outwit them at every turn. They try to delete him, but he deflects their blasts back at them. Then they try to combine their attacks, but he manages to avoid their attacks as well.
"Alright, enough of this! Special Ops, Energize!"
"It's Morphin Time!"
"Transport!"
He engages them in his Ranger form and still manages to outwit them even as they transform into their avatar forms.
"I'm sick of this! Die!"
"I don't think so. I'm not letting you guys go without a fight!"
Jake eventually takes them down and they retreat, but not before Enter decides to collapse the portal around him. Jake leaves before the entire area falls and he ends up back at the depot. Jake gets his sword and destroys the portal, ensuring that it can't be used again.
"Sir, I have enough intelligence to make a full report."
"Excellent, return back to base."
