The Rangers were taking advantage of a lull in the Galactic Mafia's attacks to use the Hyper Dimensional Road for training. Lee was piloting the Inferno Racer, George was testing out his new Dolphin Tanker, Bobby was in the Capture Cruiser, Kit the Lion Bus and Anna the Super Shovel. "You won't dig your way out of my victory.", Anna declared. She hit the pedal on her Shift Morpher, making the shovel arm hit the side of the road and fling her in front of the others.

"Nice work out there.", Mover radioed from within the Ranger base. "Though it'll take more than on the fly creativity to win this race."

"Case in point.", Lee spoke up as Inferno Racer drove up behind Anna's Zord.

"How did you-?", Anna gasped as Lee moved his Zord right next to hers, before pressing his own pedal to zoom off at high speed. "Hey, we said no Accel Boosting."

"I never agreed to that.", George spoke up. "You just made that up."

"Sorry Anna, you were outvoted on that rule.", Bobby added.

Finally, Kit joined the conversation. "With the kind of speeds Lee's pulling off, we can beat anything thrown our way."

"Nothing can outpace us.", Lee said cockily.

As if on cue, everyone's alarms sounded, as a glowing light appeared behind the five. "What is that thing?", George asked.

"Whatever the subject's identity, scans indicate that it is not the Star Kat known as Meowbile.", Leo answered him. "But its speed is surpassing all known measurement units on Earth."

The object materialised fully between the five, appearing as a giant purple silhouette of a man riding a racing car, that dwarfed the Zords. And as it zoomed off, they were all blown backwards by the shockwave.

Elsewhere, Technorg led their party into a warehouse. "This location is one where the authorities won't be conducting a search for our whereabouts.", they stated. "We can stay here and operate at our leisure."

"More like you can.", Slashmark growled as he used his arms to launch an energy slash, which the other Star Kats dodged, causing a nearby barrel to be sliced cleanly in half and explode. "I've been on this planet a few weeks and you've been confining me in all of our temporary bases every time you launch an attack."

"You're right.", Technorg responded, calmly.

Slashmark stopped in his tracks of slashing his boss in two. "I am?", he asked, genuinely confused.

"You have been kept within the confines of our temporary headquarters for too long.", Technorg continued. "It's time that we fully established our organisation as a credible threat to the people of Earth, in order to ensure more aliens buy our protection. Slashmark, go out and cause destruction to terrify the city. And you three supervise his operations."

"Sir!", the trio saluted, as they began huddling out of the building.

"I won't let you down, Master.", Slashmark said, as he touched his arms to his shoulders, before turning and walking out.

"I know you won't.", Technorg commented as Slashmark moved out of earshot. Once he was gone, they finished their thought. "It's finally time to unleash your true purpose. And all I need is for the Power Rangers to defeat you."

Elsewhere, Kit had decided to visit the Drive-In. "So this is where you guys hang out.", he commented to George, who was there for his usual daily visit. "Thought I'd check it out rather than only hanging out at the base."

"And since my Aunt knows about you-know-what, we can whisper about confidential matters of the PR kind.", George whispered to him. "Anything new on what hit us?"

Kit leaned over to whisper back. "Neither Mover or Leo can identify it, but we're checking against a list of known species it could be. All we know is that it was giving off a frequency identical to the ones our Morphers produce."

"Say what now?", Anna blurted out, having been standing next to the pair. She then turned to the crowd who were now staring at her. "I thought I overheard some celebrity gossip.", she offered weakly before turning to whisper to the others. "How could it be giving off our private frequency?"

"I don't know.", Kit answered her. "And right now, we should probably try not to loudly draw suspicion." He then picked up a newspaper, gasping in shock at what he read. "No way!"

"What happened to keeping on the down-low?", George snarked.

"Sorry, I just got surprised by the headline.", Kit said. "Pro-gamer Oswald 'Game Over' Owens is coming to Crosslands."

"Why is that significant?", Anna asked. "We had a celebrity guest show up the other week."

"Because Game Over Owens hasn't been seen in months.", Kit explained. "He just disappeared one day, no tweets, no updates, nothing. And now he's shown up again and come here, I feel relieved to know he's alive."

"Well, at least you're experiencing good news.", George commented. "I'm not sure how today could get any worse for us."

In the city centre, Slashmark appeared, using his powers to cut into buildings and send people running. "I'm about to really slash housing prices in this city.", he laughed. "Oh it's good to cut loose."

Lee and Bobby appeared on the scene, already morphed. "Hey, newsflash.", Lee commented. "Skyscrapers can't hit back." He took out his Wheel Saber.

Bobby likewise raised his Stick Saber. "But we can."

The Star Kats ran in, with Grillion and K.P grabbing Slashmark's arms. "Slashmark, I think it would be wise to withdraw here.", Grillion suggested.

"Yeah, this is the part where most of our monsters get destroyed.", K.P added.

But Slashmark pushed both aside. "I'll show you I'm a cut above other monsters." He ran forward to lock his arms with the two Rangers' swords, before overpowering the pair, and stabbing both Rangers backwards. "I hope you don't mind me taking a stab at fighting you."

"Not at all.", Bobby said as he got back up, mashing the pedal on his Siren Morpher. "As they say, the first cut is the deepest." He then charged forward with his energised blade, bringing it down.

However, Slashmark blocked this blow. "Is that all you got?", he asked as the energy was transferred to his other arm. "Because no matter how you slice it…" he then delivered a slash with said arm to knock Bobby back into a set of crates. "You don't make the cut."

"Then let's see how I do.", Lee called out as he charged up his Wheel Saber as he turned it to gun mode. He then began firing to create the shape of a no entry sign, but Slashmark deflected the shots with his arms, before running forward to jab one of them into the barrel of the gun, causing it to overload and blow Lee back.

From a ledge nearby, a purple robot covered in a yellow markings consisting of the word "Boonboomger" and an icon resembling a racer, along with a variant of the Turbo Boosters logo, with a white head resembling a racing helmet with a blue visor and the same word "Boonboomger" adorning it in purple observed the scene. "So these are the Turbo Booster Rangers. They're not doin' so hot, are they?"

As Lee fell down, Slashmark began rubbing his blades together, sharpening them for the kill. "This was almost too easy. You're not very sharp."

But before he could bring the blades down, he heard Technorg's voice echoing in his head. "Slashmark, withdraw now."

"No, not yet!", Slashmark growled. "I'm about to finish off two Rangers."

"And then you'll have three more to contend with who could easily finish you off.", Technorg's voice responded sternly. "Pull back for now and wait for all the Rangers to gather."

Technorg growled, stabbing into the ground next to Lee. "Unfortunately, I've been ordered to kill you next time.", he then turned around, bellowing orders to the Star Kats. "You three, let's get moving."

"Someone's touchy.", Meowbile commented as the three emerged from under the table they were using to hide. They then followed him out of the scene.

Bobby and Lee pulled themselves up. "Perhaps we should call the others in?", Bobby suggested.

"That would be wise.", Lee nodded.

From the side, the mysterious robot turned to his partner. "Looks like the Rangers might need a little help with this one.", he said.

"And that's where you and I step in.", the other figure answered. "But first, we have someone we need to meet up with." He took out an item resembling a classic console controller, only purple with yellow highlights and a nock on the bottom.

Back at the warehouse, Slashmark began banging his swords against the metal pipes. "You'd better send him back out quickly.", K.P advised Technorg. "I don't know what's in those pipes and I don't want to know."

"Not to mention his brooding is lowering the mode in this place.", Grillion pointed out.

"Do not worry.", Technorg assured them. "Within a few minutes, the Rangers will likely have assembled to launch a counterattack against Slashmark. And then, he will be sent out to defeat them."

"But how can ya be sure dose Rangers will be dere?", Meowbile asked. "What if dey go back to deir base?"

"Oh don't worry. I have a way to lure them out." Everyone turned to the source of this voice. It came from a new figure, dressed in a purple racing tracksuit with yellow highlights and the words "Boon" and "Boom" adorning the chest, arms and legs, along with a purple version of the Rangers' helmets, with a race car's hubcap as the visor, and the same wheels on the back of the suit. He was accompanied by the robot from earlier. "And I'm sure they'll respond to it.", the new Ranger continued

Grillion and K.P hugged each other with fear. "Another one."

Technorg on the other hand stepped forward. "What is your connection with the Power Rangers?", they inquired.

"I may or may not be acquainted with one of them Rangers' buddies.", the robot answered, before bowing. "R-3V, at the service of your flunkies sovereign there."

"R-3V? It's been a while.", Technorg stated. "How is the rest of your old racing crew doing?"

The Star Kats were shocked by how casual their boss was being. "Does Technorg know dis guy?", Meowbile asked.

"'Guy'?", Slashmark asked angrily. "That guy is R-3V, one of the greatest racers who ever lived. He's also a former associate of the Galactic Mafia Boss."

"You know real well you guys broke our little group up.", R-3V growled at Technorg. "I ain't seen any of the old gang since your boys took a hit out on Moe."

"'Moe'?", Technorg repeated with confusion. "Ah, M0-VR. You gave him a nickname to reduce time wasted saying the real name, a king to Kitten Pride." He gestured to K.P. "What have you been up to?"

"Mostly work for hire.", R-3V answered. "I was on the neighbourhood and thought you could maybe add an unexpected element to your plans. After all, you thought that 5 Rangers could defeat your little minion here."

Technorg thought for a moment, before coming to a conclusion. "Very well. Your Ranger friend can take part in my plan. Provided he knows who to target."

"Don't worry.", the Purple Ranger answered as he took out the same controller like device he had shown off earlier. "When I make contact with my targets, it's game over."

Elsewhere, Lee and Bobby managed to pull themselves to the Drive-In, just as the other three Rangers were coming out. "What happened to you two?", George asked.

"New monster.", Lee answered. "I think it was created from a sword. Whenever we tried using our own blades against it, it countered us easily."

Anna thought about this. "Maybe we need to try shooting it instead."

"Lee tried that, it didn't work.", Bobby answered. "He can deflect those more conventionally."

"In that case, we should try hitting him all at once.", Kit suggested. "That way, he won't be able to reflect the full force, considering he has two blades against our 5."

"Good idea.", Lee nodded. "We couldn't beat him individually, but working together might give us an advantage."

Their thoughts were interrupted by their Morphers beeping, at which point the voice of Leo spoke up. "Rangers, you have an incoming message on our frequency."

"That's impossible.", Kit stated. "No-one else has our frequency, except…"

Sure enough a blurred image appeared on their monitors, speaking in a distorted voice. "Greetings, Rangers. We've already met when me and my acquaintance accidentally knocked you off the road. I apologise for that. But right now, I need you to come to point Omega-3, or as you know it, the town square. There's something important I have to show you there. But come morphed. I don't want your identities leaking out." The message then ended.

The Rangers were all nervous about the message. "I don't like it.", George said bluntly. "It sounds like a trap."

"Maybe, but we can't be sure.", Bobby pointed out. "All we can do is go there and see for ourselves."

"And he at least asked for us to be morphed first.", Anna pointed out. "So he has our best interest at heart."

Lee spoke into his Morpher. "Mover, what do you think?"

"I don't think it's a trap.", Mover answered. "But I'd proceed with caution in this case."

"Well I'm not convinced, but that's still good enough.", Kit shrugged. "Let's get going."

"Right.", Lee said as he and the others held out their Morphers, pressing the pedals. "Ready! Set! Morph!" After the third press, the five rolled their wheels or pushed their buttons, becoming the Power Rangers.

A few minutes later, the Rangers arrived on the scene to find Slashmark and a group of Robolts attacking people. "Ah, Power Rangers.", Slashmark laughed. "Your sense of timing is very sharp."

"Wait a minute.", Kit thought. "How could he have sent the message?"

"What message?", Slashmark asked. "Because I'll be blunt with you, and say I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Well since you're here, we'll stop your fearmongering.", Lee stated as he and the others pulled their weapons out. "Let's go."

The Rangers pulled out their weapons and ran in to fight the Robolts, with Lee's Wheel Saber locking with the weapon of his opponent's blade. He then cut two Robolts down. "Red Booster!"

George shot another three dead. "Blue Booster!"

Anna knocked one Robolt down, before spinning her Saber around to create the force needed to wipe out the rest of her group. "Pink Booster!"

Bobby picked a Robolt up by the legs to flip him overhead, before punching him in the face. "Black Booster!"

Finally, Kit kicked one Robolt in the chest, before cutting five more down with his Stick Ax. "Orange Booster!"

Lee cut two more Robolts down, while everyone prepped for a final attack. "Let's rev it up!"

The Rangers then unleashed their attacks to destroy the entire Robolt group, before gathering in a group. "Power Rangers Turbo Boosters!"

"Heh, so you still think you can cut it.", Slashmark noted as he held up his right arm blade. He then ran forward. "Well it's time for some sword action."

The Rangers ran in, with Slashmark hitting Lee and locking blades with both Kit and Bobby. A deadlock he broke before slashing the two down and turning around to face the other three, with Slashmark once more blocking their blades. "He's absorbed kinetic energy from the others.", George called out as Slashmark knocked the three back.

"And now I've got yours.", Slashmark said as he knelt down and swerved around like a car to slash Lee, George and Anna down.

"He can retain the kinetic energy of our swords.", George noted. "It doesn't matter if we hit him in any great number."

"Because he stores it.", Kit concluded the thought.

"Perhaps we should try shooting instead.", Lee said as he, Anna and George converted the Wheel Sabers into gun mode and fired a barrage at Slashmark.

But while Slashmark seemed to take damage from this, he was soon able to generate even more energy. "Thanks for the buffet.", he laughed as he fully absorbed the force.

"Not even that worked.", Anna gasped.

"Let's just go back to destroying him before he can absorb anything.", Bobby decided as he and Kit charged once more.

"Fools!", Slashmark said as he spun around at high speed, knocking the two down, and causing them to fall over a ledge, landing on some stairs. "I think you get my point." He then spun around again to attack the rest of the Rangers, with Lee barely holding him back with his ankle wheels, before George and Anna were likewise flung away.

"That's it. Now you're dealing with my full burn.", Lee growled as he once more deflected sword attacks from Slashmark. He was knocked over, but was able to generate an energy tire to give himself a soft landing.

As the Rangers regrouped, Technorg made their appearance. "Can't you see you're utterly outmatched, Rangers? Thanks to my hard work, Slashmark is your ultimate opponent. No strategy you may attempt will defeat him."

"Technorg.", Lee wheezed. "Figures you'd only show your face when one of your minions was close to victory."

"But of course.", Technorg nodded. "One should always savour success. And with your options exhausted, there is nothing you can do to win."

"On their own maybe." A series of shots rung through the air, startling Slashmark, terrifying the Star Kats out of their hiding place, and barely making Technorg flinch. The Purple Ranger leapt onto the scene, having converted his controller like device into a bow, with the nock becoming an arrow as a result. "But perhaps I can take a shot."

The Rangers were shocked at the arrival of the newcomer. "Another Ranger?", Anna said, shocked. "I knew George shouldn't have said we'd stick with five."

"Hey!", George said in response to this.

"Let me guess.", Kit realised. "The one who sent us the message to come here. You're late."

"Sorry, traffic was a nightmare.", the newcomer stated sarcastically, before posing. "You can call me… Violet Booster!"

Slashmark was annoyed. "Hey, I thought we were on the same side. Never mind, I'll just cut you up anyway."

"Good luck with that.", Violet Booster said as he began doing warmup exercises with his legs. "Game on!" He ran forward to engage Slashmark, managing to avoid his sword swings and kick him from behind. "Too slow." He then spun around to avoid another sword swing, before jamming his controller like device into Slashmark's chest and pulling the nock to fire.

Slashmark was sent rolling, but quickly recovered. "I'm gonna pay you back with interest for that.", he snarled as he charged his body with energy, preparing to charge.

"So that's how you want to play it, huh?", Violet Booster asked as he pulled he nock again, managing to move out of the way so fast that the human eye could not detect him. "Say hello to my Formula Boost." He dodged another slash, before moving nearer to Slashmark to attack him. He managed to punch and kick the monster back while simultaneously avoiding or blocking his attacks. Once Slashmark was far away enough, he took out his weapon again. "Combo Morpher: Rapid Strike!" He pressed the up and down buttons on the left hand side of the console, before pointing the bow at Slashmark and firing multiple energy arrows with a pull of the nock. "Try absorbing this."

While Slashmark blocked at first, he was quickly overwhelmed. "Too much to absorb.", he growled as he broke his stance.

"And the bad news keeps on coming.", Violet Booster replied as he pulled the nock again to charge up the wheels on his boots. He then sped forward, adopting a stance that resembled driving an F1 car. He charged into Slashmark with enough force, that the latter's blades were shattered off.

"You've cut me off.", Slashmark gasped as he looked at his now broken sword hands.

"That's the general idea.", Violet Booster said in response. "By hitting your swords repeatedly, the force they take would break them faster than they could absorb energy."

"Why you-! You'll pay for this.", Slashmark growled.

"Tell it to whoever's on the other side.", Violet Bosoter commented as he took out the Combo Morpher, entering the code "Red-blue-up". "Final Attack Code, entered. Racing Bow Strike!" As Slashmark ran forward, Violet pulled the nock, sending an energy blast towards Slashmark, fatally wounding him.

"Looks like you were sharper than me.", Slashmark stated as he fell down and exploded.

Violet on the other hand turned around and posed. "Game over."

The Star Kats stepped forward. "I guess dat's my cue to go ta woik.", Meowbile sighed. But before he could do anything, he saw a sword and an Overclock Key float out of the flames. "Ya mean…?"

"Slashmark was…", Grillion continued the thought.

"An Automobeast all along?", K.P concluded it.

"But of course.", Technorg explained. "When I first learned of the Rangers' exploits through the Galactic Herald, I took a special interest in the sword they wielded. So I decided to forge my own to be used by the Negazord. But since I was unable to make the sword work identically to its inspiration, I turned it into Slashmark, and subsequently modified him. As time went on, he would build up the necessary energy to perform the upgrade into a functioning Zord upon his demise. Which meant I had to keep him safely out of harm's way until he was almost ready to complete his evolution. Which the new Ranger has helped with." The Key turned into a portal which the sword entered.

"Whoah.", was all Violet could say. "So my KO just gave the other team a power up. Not cool."

"Maybe we can tag in for this one.", Lee decided. "Hang back, rookie." He took out his Shift Morpher. "Mover, are you seeing this?"

"The new Ranger who beat our enemy so bad he turned into a Zord?", Mover asked. "Yeah, we saw it all."

"Currently Recommended Megazord combination for this battle is Crimson Knight Megazord.", Leo chimed in. "I will update my calculations as more data from battle appears."

Back at the site, the sword emerged from the portal, now at giant size. It could now be seen to look like the Crimson Saber, but in the Negazord's colours and with a more serrated blade. The blade, handle and cross guard then folded into a classic car, which looked like Crimson Saber but with an additional piece on the roof. "Now, Kitten Pryde.", Technorg commanded.

"As you wish, boss.", K.P said as she took out and activated the Shift Jacker. Summon Negazord!

The Negazord appeared, assuming it's robot mode and grabbing onto the Slashmark Zord as it reassumed its sword form. "Slashmark Power Negazord, ready!", the three Star Kats announced.

Grillion then noticed something. "Why am I in the passenger seat this time?"

"Because you blew this thing up the last two times.", K.P answered. "I'll make sure this time we win."

The Rangers responded by bringing together the Turbo Trailer, Inferno Racer and Crimson Saber Zords. "Crimson Knight Megazord, ready for action!", Mover announced.

"Full power!", the Star Kats declared as the Negazord locked its drill and sword with that of Move, managing to push him back. But then Mover landed a hit.

"One sword against two? I like those odds.", Lee said as he pressed the pedal on his Shift Morpher.

"Acceleration Boost!", Mover called out as he prepared to attack.

"We can do that too.", Grillion declared as he pressed the pedal on the Shift Jacker. The Slashmark Saber proceeded to fly on its own, attacking Mover from behind.

Lee felt this in the main cockpit. "That's a new one."

"Now, hit 'em with the drill.", Grillion announced as K.P had the Negazord launch a punch with its drill arm, making Mover spark.

George and Kit were buffeted from within their cockpit, while Anna and Bobby held on. "We can't let this get us down.", she urged.

"You won't have much of a choice.", K.P said in response, as the Slashmark Saber returned to the Negazord's grip.

"Looks like it's your turn to be out in the litter.", Meowbile laughed, as their robot advanced on its enemy.

"I think I can't beat them alone.", Mover wheezed.

"Maybe another formation?", George suggested.

"None of them have the necessary armour.", Lee said to this.

Kit then noticed something on a monitor. "Hey, it's that same thing from earlier."

Sure enough, the same shape as the object that had knocked them off the road made its appearance. It looked like R-3V, only with a more compact helmet and his lower half now resembled a racing car. "Hang on, Moe. I'll give you a helping hand.", the robot's voice came over the radio.

"Megazord code, activate!", Violet called out from within as he pressed the down, green and red buttons on his Control Morpher. "Activate Rev Megazord!"

"Let's go!", R-3V called out as his fender detached, with his hind wheels folding out into wings, as the rest of his vehicular lower half transformed back into legs, while his helmet returned to its normal proportions, with the visor opening to reveal a robotic face. "Rev Megazord ready to fly!" He then grasped onto his fender as a weapon as he flew into the sky.

"It can't be!", Mover said with shock. "Arthree? Is that you?"

"With a little human help.", Violet answered, before pressing a button. "Formula Bow!" The weapon unleashed a flurry of shots that knocked the two robots apart, as R-3V flew between them.

"Thanks for the save.", Mover called out. "Can we talk?"

"Work now, talk later.", R-3V answered as he touched down on top of a skyscraper. "Let's finish this off."

The Negazord caught sight of its passengers' newest threat. "Now there's two of them.", Grillion gasped.

"But only one is needed to take you down.", Violet announced as R-3V kicked off the building and flew down to fire more shots at the Negazord, sending it reeling as he landed on the ground. "And now to beat you at your own game.", Violet piloted R-3V to lock his Formula Bow with the Slashmark Saber, clashing with it in an even match.

"Let's cut 'im up.", Meowbile declared.

"Can do.", Grillion answered as he activated the Shift Jacker to send the Saber flying once more.

But R-3V merely took off again. "So you want an aerial battle? Well sure, let's go for it." He dodged the Slashmark Saber as it lunged at him several times, causing it to crash. "This way.", he called out as he flew to the right.

The Negazord popped out from behind the skyscraper it was using as a hiding place. "What's he doing?", the pilots all asked.

A question that was soon answered as R-3V led the sword to where it could crash into the Negazord. "Express delivery.", Violet called out as the Slashmark Saber moved to collide with its target.

"Oh no!", the Star Kats all cried out as the sword flew into the back of their robot, buffeting it.

"Talk about a stick up your butt.", R-3V commented.

"Now let's end this.", Violet decided as he inout another code with the right, green and left buttons, causing a giant version of the Control Morpher mounted itself on the Formula Bow. "Charge Code, activated! Begin final attack!" He then pressed the red button three times.

Energy flowed from the weapon, which R-3V unleashed with a single command. "Air Revolver!"

The energy flowed into the Negazord, to the lack of concern of its pilots. "Deja vu.", Grillion, K.P and Meowbile all commented, as their robot exploded, along with this weapon. "We're out in the litter!", they cried out as they flew off into the distance.

The Overclock Key used to create Slashmark fell down near Technorg, glowing with energy. "This plan did not go according to expectations.", Technorg commented, as they analysed the glow from the key. "But from failure, a new opportunity is born."

The Rangers and Mover had meanwhile returned to the base in the confusion. "Not one of our better days.", Anna said. "Maybe I should quit this gig and never talk about why."

"It's just an off day.", Kit insisted. "Without that sword of its Automobeast counterpart, I'm sure things will be back to normal."

"What about that new Ranger and his robot friend?", Kit pointed out. "Mover seemed to know the latter, and vice versa."

Mover sighed. "I'd hoped not to have him find me again. But now that he's here, we might as well find him and talk."

"Good news." Everyone looked up to see the Violet Booster and R-3V were stood inside the base, with the former looking around excitedly. "We saved you half a job.", R-3V said happily. "So you kids are the Rangers Moe created. R-3V, big fan of your work. I tried making my own, but it ain't anywhere near as elegant your gear."

"How did you get in here?", Bobby asked, angry.

"That's obvious.", Lee answered. "He got in through the gateway to the Hyper Dimensional Road, which only something with our frequency can get through."

"Very astute.", Violet Booster nodded, before taking out the Control Morpher. "Now then, since you showed me your faces, it's time I showed you mine." He held the red button, reverting to a handsome young man.

One who Kit recognised immediately. "No way. It's Game Over Owens himself. And he's a Ranger."

"Sure am.", Game Over nodded. "It'll be nice to work with you guys."
