Having been introduced to the rest of the team, Bobby was now being shown around the base by Lee. "And this is the workshop, where our equipment is kept up to peak condition through highly sophisticated repair machines." As if to demonstrate, the battered Blue Mountain Zord drove in, with robotic arms emerging from the wall and scanning the vehicle, before one of them applied a fresh coat of paint and another buffed the vehicle afterward.

Bobby was confused. "Where exactly does the tech to do this come from?"

"Some of it was salvaged from my ship after it crashed.", Mover answered. "Most of the tech still worked, but the rest was provided by-." He was interrupted as an alarm sound. "Oh scrap, he's here."

"And at a bad time too.", George added. "Lee, you did tell him about the new guy, right?"

There was nothing but awkward silence to follow. "You didn't tell him?", Anna exploded.

"It slipped my mind.", Lee admitted. "There was an invasion going on."

"Wait, what are we talking about?", Bobby asked, confused as to what the conversation was about. "Who's coming?"

"Agent Malcolm.", Mover said in response. "He's our liaison with the United States government."

Soon enough, the man in question entered. He was an African-American man with a moustache, dressed in a blue suit with a red knitted tie and a pair of sunglasses. He was chewing something as he came in, either gum or a sunflower seed. Whatever it was, he spat it out into a nearby garbage can before he spoke. "Mr. Kent, our operatives noticed an object making planet fall and working its way through the city. We were wondering if it has something to do with the Space Mob you're being paid to deal with."

"It was the Galactic Mafia, sir.", Lee answered him. "They unleashed a monster upon the city, but we managed to deal with it, with minimum damage to standing buildings."

"That's good to hear.", Malcolm said, his tone not changing. "If anything that could jeopardise the secrecy of this operation were to ha-." It was then that he noticed Bobby, who sheepishly waved in response. "What's he doing here? Who is he?"

"I'm Bobby Peeler, Crosslands Police Department officer, sir.", he introduced himself.

"He saw me fighting some of the Galactic Mafia's henchmen.", Lee answered. "So…"

"So we decided that he should become the newest member of our team, and use our new state of the art Siren Morpher.", Mover interrupted. Everyone looked at him in shock. "Hey, I get bored sometimes and tinker, don't you."

"It's a fair decision.", Agent Malcolm responded. "But I don't like the idea of giving Ranger powers to a novice and sending him off against killer aliens. Can you fight, son?"

"I have a blue belt in aikido.", was Bobby's answer. "But I'm still fairly new here. I've no idea who we're fighting beyond a name and I wonder why we don't just leave it to SPD."

"Because this is something SPD can't be trusted to handle.", Mover answered. "It's a personal matter."

"I was once a part of Team Boonboomger, one of the most successful and revered racing teams in the universe, along with a few other bio-mechanoids. But soon enough, the Galactic Mafia's boss started buying us state of the art components seemingly as a gift. But then he started barging in on our winnings, insisting on seizing them to get back "the money we owed him". When we refused, some of our equipment got smashed up and it didn't take a genius to guess who was responsible. I tried turning over evidence to SPD, but many of the courts they used had been bought out by the Boss. So I went to a more specialised and less corruptible enterprise - the Galactic Sector Patrol Office."

"Who?", Bobby asked.

"Different Space Police group. They have greater freedom in dealing with criminals and they select and get all their judges themselves so they remain unbiased. After testimony from Mover, the Boss was found guilty."

"Unfortunately, Team Boonboomger broke up soon afterwards.", Mover continued. "And knowing the loss of their leader wouldn't stop the Galactic Mafia from taking deadly vengeance against me, I fled to a place where several aliens were coming to at a rapid rate… Earth."

"And I found him while skipping out on hiking with my brother.", Lee continued. "And while I thought I'd found a hiding spot in my basement, Agent Malcolm found us within 24 hours, and we struck a deal to combine our resources and create a team of Rangers to battle the Galactic Mafia when they showed up on Earth. Like earlier."

"Well that's okay then.", Bobby nodded. "Well then, who wants to go up against me and find out how up to snuff I am in combat."

"I will.", Anna stated as she stepped forward. "I was a promising martial artist with lots of tournament potential back in high school."

"Why'd you stop?", Agent Malcolm asked.

Anna got nervous about this. "I don't want to talk about it."

In an abandoned warehouse, the Star Kats had set up a Snake Phone, a communication device invented by Viperior that members of the Mafia were the primary users of, and got in touch with their commander, Roadhound. "So, we've got things on this planet under control, there's no need to check in on us.", K.P insisted. "We'll take care of those new Rangers and take those Zords of theirs for our next big race."

"That won't make our leader happy, but I'll leave you be for now.", Roadhound's voice played over a screensaver of the Galactic Mafia's insignia of a key. The three seemed happy to hear this until he resumed talking. "But if your operations don't produce consistent results, then I will come to the planet and take charge."

"You got it, boss.", the three Star Kats declared, with Grillion and K.P doing a salute by posing their legs and raising their right fists, while pointing their left hands forward in a punching formation. The message ended, at which point they broke the pose. "Well we're a go to grab those fancy cars now.", Grillion announced.

"And I have a plan to do it.", K.P responded. She hen walked over to several broken items lying around the warehouse, holding her Overclock Key. "Those Rangers show up when a monster appears, so we'll need a real suck-up." She picked up a damaged looking vacuum cleaner and inserted the Overclock Key, turning it.

The vacuum cleaner then transformed into a thematic monster, with the head and right arm both resembling a brush head and the left arm having what looked like a dust container held together by screws. "Suckup, at your service, guys.", the monster declared.

"While this guy goes and causes mayhem, we'll collect the parts for a really good Zord trap.", Grillion stated as he walked forward. "And then…" He was interrupted as Suckup drew both him and K.P towards himself, before blowing them away. "I guess we can use him to cut a step."

As Kit Boxer walked into the warehouse to recover some of his tools, he realised the Star Kats were inside and held back, listening in. "Yeah, we'll let dis guy get da good, and den while da Rangers fight 'im into growin', we'll be growin' our Car Catcher to get dem Zords.", Meowbile said.

"And with our new rides, we'll set a pace, becoming next winners of a race.", the three sang in unison.

"I'll just head out then.", Suckup nodded as he set off. "Get you the parts for a big net shooter."

"This is bad.", Kit realised as he closed the door. "I need to pass on a warning to the Rangers. But how?"

Suckup then made his appearance in the city, using his power to pull apart knitted goods worn by the populace, mostly cardigans or ugly sweaters. "That should be enough to make the net.", he noted. "Now I just need to get the parts I need."

Back at the Rangers' base, Bobby had managed to get the better of Anna in their fight, grabbing her by the shoulder and flipping her overhead. "You're good, rookie.", Anna said as she pulled herself up. "But I haven't shown you what I can really do, yet."

But as she charged, Bobby thrust his arm forward, stopping her completely. "Learned thsi move from a Kerovian at a bar.", he stated. "Hold it long enough and the opponent becomes permanently paralysed."

"That's good for you.", George commented. "But unless you want to help us look for a new Pink Ranger, I suggest you let her go."

Bobby complied, with Anna swiftly regaining motion. "I let you do that.", she insisted.

Jsut then, another alarm sounded. "Since Agent Malcolm's already here, that must be an Automobeast sighting.", Lee realised,

Mover went over to the computer, bringing up a map with two dots. "Wouldn't you know it, one just turned up at the junkyard.", he stated before observing another dot. "This other one is a phone cal directed at the police station, asking for he Power Rangers."

"And we were just scanning the phone waves for that?", Malcolm asked, before sighing. "Though I can't say I wouldn't do the same. Can we bring up what was said?"

"Yes we can.", Mover typed in a command on the keypad, causing audio to play of two voices.

"Hello, Police? I need to get in touch with the Power Rangers."

"Kid, we don't have time to deal with crank calls."

"But it's serious. I saw these aliens or monsters or something. They said they were planning to steal the Rangers' Zords with some kind of machine."

"Kid, we aren't affiliated with any Power Rangers, least of all the ones that showed up yesterday. Don't they have some kind of hotline to call? Use that."

"No, wait-."

"That's my boss, Commissioner Wheeler on the receiving end.", Bobby realised. "Perhaps if we can try and set up a call line with him to avoid these problems."

"I'll go with you.", Agent Malcolm decided. "Meanwhile, the rest of you deal with that monster."

"Okay.", the other Rangers said as they stepped forward, their Morphers appearing in their hands, as they held them out. "Ready, Set, Morph!" They pressed the button three times before spinning the wheel on the bottom to Morph.

George then pressed the pedal after the Morpher set itself onto his wrist. "Race you there." He then sped off.

Lee could only sigh at this. "Talk about melodrama.", Anna commented. She and Lee then pressed their pedals. "Acceleration Shift, go!" The two then sped off.

Before Bobby and Agent Malcolm could leave, Mover went over to the former. "You'll need this." In the human's hand, he placed a variant of the Morpher used by the other three, only this one was all black, with gold highlights, a siren on top and a button on the bottom instead of a wheel. "You're a Ranger now, kid."

"Thanks.", Bobby said as he and Agent Malcolm headed out.

At the warehouse, various electrical items flew in through a portal, which the Star Kats began disassembling. "We're getting quite the array of good parts for the machine.", K.P noted as she slotted a circuit board into the construction the three were working on as if it were a Jenga block.

"Just a few more parts, and we'll have a fully functional car catcher at our disposal.", Grillion agreed. "And then we need to wait for those Rangers to show up and kill poor Suckup."

"And dat's where I come in.", Meowbile nodded, before he began to grind his wheels.

At the junkyard, Suckup vacuumed a pile of cathode TVs, TP-Link wifi routers provided by Wave and Microsoft Zooms, among other items. "Humans build way too much useless junk.", Suckup giggled. "Makes my job easier."

"I agree.", Lee said as he came in shortly after Suckup's arm was clogged from the excessive waste he was absorbing. "You make our job finding you easier." He then grabbed the dust holder. "No more sucking for you."

"And we can get some kicks in.", George declared as he leapt in, creating a giant energy tire on his foot which he threw at the Automobeast, knocking it backwards. "Looks like you win this one."

"Only because he knows a shortcut.", Anna grumbled as she came running in. "Whereas I just moved here and still barely know the lie of the land."

"Adapt or die, loser.", Lee said semi-mockingly.

At the police station, Bobby and Agent Malcolm came darting into the office of Commissioner Wheeler. "Ah, Peeler. You're several hours overdue for a report in.", the man stated.

Bobby became nervous hearing this. "Well sir, the reason for that is,… I…?"

"He got recruited into the new Power Rangers team.", Agent Malcolm said bluntly. "We'll need you to agree to help keep his identity safe and ensure effective communication between the Rangers and civilians."

Comissioner Wheeler was shocked to hear this, but as the man in front of him took out a CIA badge, he immediately swallowed his pride. "It can be arranged. We have a whole hotline we're not using we can redirect calls through."

"Thanks.", Agent Malcolm nodded. "Now then, about that call someone put in for the Power Rangers… can you give us their number? Caller ID?"

Back at the junkyard, the Rangers had now engaged in battle with Suckup, who had summoned a group of Robolts to do battle. "Acceleration Boost!", the three cried out before zooming their way through the Robolts with their Wheel Sabers. George span around using the gun mode of the weapon, before taking out the remainder of his group with the sword mode.

Anna on the other hand was unlucky enough to run out of charge just at the last Robolt. So she went over and tapped him on the back. "Mind if I whack you over the head?" As the grunt turned around to face her, she did exactly what she had telegraphed she would do, blowing him up. "Sorry, not sorry."

All three Rangers then proceeded to face Suckup, who was reduced to wielding a feather duster for his own protection. "Let's see how you like a good cleaning.", he declared as he used the weapon to launch giant feathers at the Rangers, who narrowly dodged the projectiles. All three then ran up and slashed him in the chest.

"It's time we shoot down this Automobeast.", Lee stated as he folded up the blade of the Wheel Saber, before firing several shots, creating a projectile "banned" signal.

"Well this sucks.", Suckup commented as he saw the projectile.

"Turbo Booster Obstruction Blast!" The three Rangers pointed their guns and fired in unison, blowing three holes in Suckup. They then used the steering function to bring the blasts back towards him, blowing him into a "no entry" sign with the Mafia's emblem underneath.

"This also blows.", Suckup cried as he exploded, releasing his energy.

But before the Rangers could walk away, they heard the sound of Meowbile coming in. "Time ta do my part.", he said as he devoured the released energy, before entering the Hyper Dimensional Road.

"Is this gonna happen every time?", Anna bemoaned.

"Well, I guess we've no choice but to spring their trap.", George noted out loud.

"Indeed.", Lee nodded as he took out his Morpher. "Release the Zords."

"You got it.", Mover responded as he moved to the hangar, releasing all the Zords into the Hyper Dimensional Road, before he joined them in truck mode.

Back in the city, Bobby and Agent Malcolm saw a large machine emerge in the distance, folding into a type of giant cannon. "That would be the weapon the call was warning about.", Agent Malcolm surmised.

"And it looks ready to fire.", Bobby realised, as he made his Siren Morpher appear. "No time to wait for the trace to complete, I've got to stop it." He pressed the pedal on the Morpher, before holding it in front of him. "Ready, Set, Morph!" He slammed the button down, with the siren on top beginning to flash. Bathed in its light, his Ranger suit formed over him. The coloured section was black, it sported a shoulder pad resembling a police headlight and the hubcap visor resembled 8 triangles arranged in a circle. "Man, this is unbelievable. Acceleration Boost!" Instead of a brace, his Morpher had embedded itself in a different shaped steering wheel, which unfolded into an axe. He sped off, leaving Agent Malcolm in the dust.

At their hide out, Grillion and K.P were aligning the capture machine they had constructed. "All we need to do is wait a few minutes, and those fancy cars will be in our clutches.", K.P giggled. "I can practically feel the steering wheels of those vehicles."

"Oh no you don't." Kit Boxer came running in with a large metal stick, catching their attention. "I won't let you use your machine." He began to whack it with his staff. "I'll smash it."

"Oh, it's just a human.", Grillion said, relieved, before taking out some objects from his pockets and throwing them. "Robolts, get him."

As the robotic soldiers appeared, so too did another figure, that of the newly ordained Black Ranger. "You weren't counting on there being more than three Rangers, were you?", he asked.

"Another one!?", K.P growled. "You Rangers are really getting on the bad side of Kitten Pride. Now I'll show you this cat has claws." She leapt down to join the fight, dragging Grillion down with her.

"Bring it on, fang face.", Bobby stated as he raised his weapon. "Stick Saber!" He turned a dial to change the weapon's setting from "ax" to "sword", deploying a blade he used to begin slicing through the Robolts.

On the Hyper Dimensional Road, the Rangers assumed control of the same Zords as last time to chase Meowbile. A warning came up on Lee's monitor. "He's behind us."

"Dat's right.", Meowbile declared as he came charging at them from behind. "To make sure you fall into our trap."

"How did we pass him without noticing?", Anna asked.

Back at the warehouse, Kit used his staff to fight off the Robolts. "I'll take care of these guys, you break the machine.", he called out to Bobby.

"Don't have to tell me twice.", Bobby nodded as he kicked K.P as she leapt forward to attack. He then swung his sword at Grillion to knock him back.

Back on the Road, Meowbile unleashed a flurry of missiles, which he fired at the road in front of the Rangers. "Let's see how you mugs like fallin' off da road."

The Rangers bared drove through the blasts. "Man, that's too hot to handle.", Anna gasped for breath, struggling to steer.

"George, it's up to you.", Lee said calmly.

"On it.", George said in response. He then braked at a critical moment, allowing him to move behind Meowbile. "And now to see if cat cars land on their wheels." He hit the accelerator, ramming into Meowbile with enough force to knock him into Mover.

Mover then deployed a ramp and used it to flip Meowbile onto his roof. "I caught me a kitty cat car. Can I keep him?"

"I don't think so.", Anna added, sarcastically.

"Quite right.", George added.

"Now let's put him out.", Lee declared as he spun the truck around, flinging Meowbile out of the Hyper Dimensional Road, with him barfing up a giant copy of Suckup, who began to dust a chimney for soot.

And on the ground, Bobby pressed down on the pedal of his Morpher three times, before throwing the axe at the Car Catcher. "Turbo Axe Crash!" The weapon spun towards its target, hitting it with enough force that the two Star Kats were sent flying by the resultant explosion, crashing into Meowbile as they fell. "Looks like the Star Kats are Kat litter!", they called out.

"Nice work.", Bobby said as he turned to leave to his new friend. "You would be…?"

"Kit. Kit Boxer.", the other man answered. "Have to say, big fan of the Power Rangers and the work they do."

"Thanks.", Bobby said as he began walking away. He threw a sheet of paper behind him which fell to the floor. "Next time you need to call us, use this number." Once he was out of earshot, he used the communicator function to call the others. "Guys, the Star Kats are down one super weapon, up one giant monster."

"Okay, let's get back to Earth.", Mover declared as he transformed into the portal. "Time to combine as one." As the two Zords travelled through the gate, Mover assumed his battle mode with the other two Zords attaching to him. "Accel Booster Megazord, transformation complete!"

Mover emerged from the portal right next to Suckup. "Erm, hello?", the giant monster commented. "You look a bit grimy." He then began dusting his foe.

"Haha, stop it. That tickles.", Mover giggled as he was dusted.

"Push through it, Mover.", Lee insisted as he pulled on his steering wheel.

Sure enough, that helped break Mover out of the tickling. At which point Suckup began using the duster as a club. "And now I can just suck you up for my masters.", he announced as his head burst into life, pulling the Megazord towards it and catching its cape.

"I can't hold out… much longer… against this force.", Mover declared.

"That's some strong wind.", Anna noted.

"Let him do it.", Lee suggested.

"I'm not sure what you're planning.", Mover noted. "But I think I can guess."

"Right.", Lee said as he flicked a lever inside his cockpit. "Disengage!" Mover turned back into the Turbo Trailer with Blue Mountain and Pink Cruiser stop his trailer, crushing Suckup beneath their weight. He recovered as Mover reformed the Megazord.

"You're really blowing my nerves.", Suckup growled as he and Mover began wrestling amidst an oil refinery, causing explosions as Mover gained enough of the upper hand to kick Suckup back.

"Let's dice on this freak.", George declared.

As the giant version of the Shift Morpher appeared on Mover's back, the Rangers pressed their versions to charge it up. "Full Power!"

Mover then used his power to initiate his ultimate attack. "Super Screw Saber Strike!"

George then had Mover turn spin around before posing, as Suckup fell backwards and exploded. "I've got a clog.", were the Automobeast's last words.

A short while later, the Rangers reconvened at the base, with Lee coming in with a letter. "Agent Malcolm's superiors have given us the go ahead to induct Bobby as a full time member, along with anyone else we see fit. Provided that they get vetted."

Everyone cheered at this. "Well how many more Rangers do you think we'll need to win this?", Mover asked. "Because we only have the parts for one more Morpher."

"Well then, I think we'll just go with that.", George suggested. "Three to start and two later on seems about right. As long as the last one isn't red, blue, black, yellow, pink, green or white. Pretty much anything else is okay."

"Though try to avoid gold. It's been a bit overused.", Anna suggested jokingly. "And now that he's said we'll stick to 5, a 6th guy is bound to show up."

"I hope not.", Bobby laughed. "After all, since I'm the new guy, you'll have to be depending on me for a while." Everyone laughed at this joke.

At the Mafia Asteroid, Bovile entered Roadhound's chambers. "Report on the status of the Earth mission.", the former commanded.

Roadhound got nervous at this command. "Well, you see, my guys have had a little trouble with… Power Rangers."

"What?", Bovile said with shock. "Who do they represent? The GSPO? SPD? The G5 Summit?"

"No, these are an independent group.", Roadhound informed him. "And thanks to them, we've discovered that Meowbile can revive and enlarge destroyed Automobeasts by expelling the energy he consumes from them."

"Meaning that if these Rangers can destroy Automobeasts, they're a serious threat to our operation.", Bovile stated. "Get your unkempt ass over to the planet and deal with them as quickly as possible."

"It will be done.", Roadhound nodded, not noticing that Technorg was stood by the door, listening in.
