As the Sun rose on Crosslands and most people were either turning over in their beds or waking up to begin their day. But Anna had been up for an hour, due to the need for the Drive-In to start earlier in order to cater for her breakfast rush. Anna wasn't keen on it, but after she mentioned being a very light sleeper, Mrs. Riley had insisted on hiring her. When she got there, Mrs. Riley was in the process of trying to unlock the door. "Wouldn't you know it, I misplaced my key in this darkness."

"So you need me.", Anna surmised as she took out her key, unlocking the door. "I have no idea how you used to get by."

"Mostly luck.", was Mrs. Riley's answer as the two entered the building. Hanging up their coats, she and Anna proceeded to buy in their hairnets and aprons. "So anyway, our new supplies are meant to be delivered tonight. Would you…?"

"No, it's fine.", Anna said, exhausted from her lack of sleep. "It's not like I'm doing anything later tonight."

"You mean like Power Ranger duty?", Mrs. Riley suggested. Anna was so sleep deprived it took her a minute to remember that Agent Malcolm had informed everyone's bosses they were Rangers when they joined. "I saw in the news you had a new member join the other day."

"Oh he's nothing that special, just a police officer.", was Anna's response. "I could've been one, you know. I went to Police Academy a year out of regular college."

"Why'd you stop?", Mrs. Riley asked.

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

Mrs. Riley nodded and decided to move on. "So, the new Ranger's a man, hmm? Is he hot?"

"Eww, gross.", Anna muttered, thinking of the 40-something year old woman who employed her getting it on with a cow-worker who was roughly the same age as her. "Let's just keep preparing for the morning rush."

Later, at the Rangers' base, Lee was showing Bobby around the Zord Bay. "While it may not be obvious if you can't see into the Hyper-Dimensional Road, we have more than the three Zords we regularly use. But right now, many of them are still in the midst of being tuned up to connect to these small sized activator modules." He held out the Trailer, Cruiser and Mountain modules. And then he pointed upwards at a metallic red classic car, with gold highlights and a black roof, being worked on by mechanical arms. "But this one, the Crimson Saber Zord, is almost ready for service."

Bobby smiled at this. "Ah, and you're showing it me so I can practice driving it." He then reached his hand forward to touch the car.

But then Mover appeared to slap that hand away. "Oh no, this one is Lee's. I'll show you yours." He then led the rookie Ranger to a pair of police themed vehicles, namely a black car and a purple van. "The Police Zords will be complete next. Until then, you'll have to sit out the Megazord battles and focus on ground control."

"In the mean time, come on.", Lee told him. "I'm going to need your credentials for something."

At their condemned apartment block hideout, the Star Kats were bowing profusely to another call from Roadhound. "Your failures have started to become concerning."

"Don't worry. We'll clean up the act soon enough.", Grillion insisted.

K.P then picked Meowbile up. "If this little piece of scrap could outrace those Rangers…"

"Hey, don't throw me under da bus!", Meowbile hissed.

"Silence!" Flames emerged from behind the screen, sending Grillion flying and K.P falling backwards. "I'll be coming to Earth to personally oversee the mission. Don't let me down."

"Sir!" The trio nodded their heads.

"Now get to work, or else!" As Roadhound barked this, the screen shook with anger.

"Understood.", the Star Kats said, saluting. The call then ended, much to everyone's relief.

"Looks like we're going to be in a time crunch.", Grillion said, exasperated.

K.P then pulled herself up to behold a clock. "That's it. We need to have time on our side, as the natives say." She went over and jammed the Overclock Key into the clock, turning it. "Our plan is going to move like…"

She stopped talking to let the resultant creature, which had quartz shoulders, mechanical keys in his chest and a clock on top of his head, set to 2:50, while he wielded a pair of swords which resembled clock hands. "Klokverk!"

"No, no, no, yer defective.", Meowbile said to the newly christened Automobeast. "It's 'Clockwork'."

"Zat ist vat I'm saying, dummkopf. Klokverk!", Klokverk growled as he brandished the larger of his two swords.

"Must be a regional accent.", Grillion whispered to K.P. "Now then, Mr. erm, 'Klokverk', what can you do to mess up time."

"Vell, every security system of note runs on a time lock.", Klokverk surmised. "And as ze Herr of Time, I can kommand zem to open at vill."

"He sounds ideal.", Meowbile said to the others. "We just turn 'im on da city, distract dose Rangers with some chaos and in da pandemonium dat ensues, steal everything no nailed down."

"That'll show both the Rangers and Roadhound that were a force to be reckoned with.", K.P continued. "And we'll get the money for a better place than dumps like this."

"Yeah!" All three Star Kats pumped their fists.

"Ja!", Klokverk joined in.

At the Crosslands bank, Lee and Bobby walked over to a teller who didn't seem to have a lot of clientele speaking to him. "Hello, Leon Kent and his legal advisor would like to make a withdrawal from their private vault."

The teller looked at the pair with some scepticism, which Bobby thought was understandable, considering the presumable secrecy surrounding this vault. After all, who knew what chaos could ensue if people knew the Power Rangers had a regular bank vault. "And does Mr. Leon Kent have his key?"

Lee then took out what looked like a plastic card from his pocket, with a notch carved into the side. "I have."

The teller practically snatched the card to examine it thoroughly using an eye loupe. "Very well.", he nodded, before standing up from his seat. "Follow me."

Out in the city, while Anna was at work and George was sitting back to relax on a park bench. When the former looked at her watch, it gave the time as 11AM, while the nearby clock in the park read 1 PM. As George heard it chime, he looked at his own watch. "10 o'clock? That can't be right."

And back at the Drive-In, while Anna was serving a diet cola to a middle-aged woman, a loud, shrieking noise filled the air. "What's that sound?", the woman asked.

"It's the security alarm.", Mrs. Riley called out. "But this shouldn't be happening. It's not supposed to come on until we close."

"Which is about…" Anna checked her digital watch. "2 hours ago?"

"Mine says we still have 5 hours.", Mrs. Riley said in response. Then she saw the clock on the wall, which read that it was 1 PM. "Why does every clock in this place have a different time?"

"Maybe the Star Kats are at it again.", Anna thought, before speaking up. "Seeing as we can't tell what time it is, maybe I should take time off until the Power Rangers or someone fixes this."

Mrs. Riley caught her meaning. "Good idea. Get us some help." Anna nodded and took off running. "Alright, folks. Until we can sort out our clock problem, we'll be suspending service for the day. Sorry for the inconvenience. All your unpaid bills will be put on your tabs."

And at the bank, an assistant used the key provided to open a vault with the Rangers' logo on it. "Vault 637.", he said as he swiped the key across an electronic lock. "Stand back.", he instructed as the door swung backwards to reveal another set of doors, which opened sideways to reveal a palm sized version of Crimson Saber.

"Doesn't this scream 'lax security' for something this tiny?", Bobby asked, confused. "Surely a time lock would be useful here."

"Rest assured, this entire floor has a time lock that activates after 8PM each night.", the assistant answered. "It keeps the whole bank in lockdown over the week-." He was interrupted as the door to the vault began to descend. "-end?"

"Looks like something's causing a lockdown.", Lee realised. "We'd better make a move for it. Before we're trapped in here." The three made a run for it, with Bobby making sure to grab onto the Saber Zord's small counterpart. But unfortunately, only Lee was able to escape, leaving the others trapped. "Don't worry, I'll get you out.", he assured the pair.

"That might take a lot of effort.", the voice of Mover came in over the radio. "Every time related system in the Crosslands City area has been thrown out of whack. It doesn't seem like an accident or a coincidence."

Anna and George joined the conversation. ""If you ask me, this is something to do with the Star Kats.", George spoke up. "But what? And how?"

"Maybe it's the power of their new monster.", Anna suggested. "Given how many security systems are time-locked, perhaps they plan to exploit that."

"Which means they're working with an Automobeast with time-bending powers." Mover surmised. "Anna, the International Bureau of Weights and Measures has a building in Crosslands with a connection to a satellite uplink. You need to get there and try and help them diagnose the problem. Lee and George can find and deal with the monster."

"Why me?", Anna asked of her given task. "Bobby's the new guy. Why not delegate this to him?"

"Bobby's indisposed right now.", Lee answered. "Meaning that you're our newest member, among us three."

"Right, don't remind me.", Anna said as she signed off and began running to the department building.

2 months ago.

Anna was sitting on the street, staring forlornly at the cars passing by. It was then that a pair of men in semi-formal clothes approached her. "Anna Ketchum?"

"Who wants to know?", she asked bitterly.

"We're forming a group that could have had need of your particular skills.", the one she would come to know as Lee Kent answered.

"You were the infamous Crosslands Cat Burglar for a few weeks after leaving high school.", George added. "5 successful robberies and not a single slip-up or piece of evidence to convict you. Why'd you give up a promising career?"

Anna sighed. "It was a bit of rebellion at my parents' splitting up, ok? Let's not talk about it. I've had several other careers before and since then."

"And we'll put you through the kind of work where you can use your skills for the betterment of the world.", George told her. "That, and my aunt had to let go of her old waitress at the Drive-In diner after she said some things about the Irish. And the Polish. And the LGBT community."

Anna's eyes widened at this. "So I help you guys with whatever you're aiming to do, and you'll get me a paying job? I'm in.", she said all too eagerly. "Now then, what's the job?"

"Well.", Lee spoke up. "Have you heard of the Power Rangers?"

Back in the present, Anna kept on running, pulling out her Morpher and pressing on the trigger to Morph, before zooming off at high speed.

Back at the bank, the Star Kats burst in with a group of Robolts, Grillion wielding his staff. "Alright, this is a stick up. Nobody move. Except the guys with access to the vaults."

"You're going to open them for us.", K.P clarified. "Once our friend Klokverk alters the vaults so they open, that is."

"And don't stiff us on moola or credit.", Meowbile added. "It was da Star Kats dat robbed ya, not da Cosmic Rats, or da Space Dogz, da Star Kats, ya dig?"

"We dig.", the bank teller said, sweating nervously. "Don't hurt anyone, we'll see to the vault."

In the plaza, Klokverk saw the blinker he had set up light itself. "Ah, zat's my cue to mess vith ze bank safes." He was then shot at before he could do anything. "Gott in Himmel! Was is das?"

It was Lee and George, now morphed, wielding their Wheel Sabers in gun mode. "Das Power Rangers ist.", George responded.

"Well this might be an easy battle.", Lee commented.

"What's so dangerous about a guy who messes with clocks?" George asked.

"I vill show you ze danger of clock manipulation.", Klokverk growled as he ran forward to fight the pair, swinging his swords as they fired their shots, before they got into a confrontation.

Meanwhile, Anna had made her way to the Bureau building. "Who are you?", one of the scientists asked.

"No time.", Anna insisted. "We need you to restore the clocks to their proper time."

"We"re working on it.", another scientist called out. "But even with the best computers on Earth, it'll take a few hours to connect to our satellite."

"Then we may have someone with a computer better than anything on Earth.", Anna suggested as she plugged her Morpher into the terminal. "Mover, can you connect to this and fix things?"

"Easily.", Mover answered her, as he began typing away at a keyboard. "This'll only take me about 10 minutes."

Back at the plaza, the fight with Klokverk continued, with a plane flying overhead as the 3 combatants locked swords. "A passenger craft arriving on time?", Klokverk noted. "Ve can't have zat." He knocked the Rangers aside and prepared to hit him.

But the two Rangers stopped him. "If he corrupts the clocks in that plane's onboard computers, it could affect all airports that use the airway.", Lee said.

The two then knocked Klokverk back. "Let's take this somewhere he can't connect to anything.", George decided as he grabbed onto Klokverk, before tapping his pedal, zooming away with the Automobeast.

"He could let me know where he's going.", Lee sighed as he pressed on his pedal. "Acceleration Boost!" He then zoomed off after the previous two.

Back at the Bureau, the Morpher pinged, with Anna picking it up. "Good news, I managed to establish a link. Syncing up with the other satellites reveals the local time zone is GMT - 6."

"Huh?", Anna asked.

"Basically, it's 5:29 PM in London, and 11:29 AM here."

Anna nodded. "I'll pass that on.", she said before turning to the scientists. "Set the clock to 11:29 AM."

"Thank you.", one of them said as he typed in the time given, before pressing the enter key. "There. The city's bank timers should be back to normal now."

"Meaning that we should have all hands on deck real soon.", Anna thought to herself. She then picked up her Morpher, pressing on the pedal three times. "Ready, Set, Morph!" Spinning the wheel, she was morphed into the Pink Ranger. "Thanks for your help, citizens. I'd be grateful if you told no-one what you saw today." She then zoomed off.

Back in the bank, the Star Kats were about to go to sleep, when the vault door opened at last. "What took dat clock guy so long?", Meowbile asked.

"Who cares? We're in and the money will be out with us.", K.P said ecstatically.

"And no Rangers are here to ruin our respite.", Grillion added.

But then the door opened to reveal Bobby, who had already Morphed into the Black Ranger. "You guys really shouldn't talk out loud. I've heard everything you've been saying for the past half hour."

"Oh poop.", the three said as Bobby initiated an attack with his Stick Saber, slashing at them to send them flying out the building. "We're in the litter again!", they cried out.

"Thanks for taking care of this.", Bobby said to the bank assistant as he held up the Saber module. "I'd better get it back to the other Rangers." He pressed down on the pedal to zoom off. "Acceleration Boost!"

At the city wharf, George's Acceleration Boost ended as he threw Klokverk at a wall. "I think I pulled a gear.", the Automobeast grumbled as he pulled himself up.

Then Lee showed up, barely catching his breath. "You could've told me where you were going.", he wheezed. "I e been running all over town to figure out where you'd stop so I could signal Anna and Bobby." He then pressed a hidden button on his helmet. "But now I can send them our location at least."

Within seconds, Anna and Bobby both showed up. "Nice to know you're out of the vault, Rookie.", Anna said to Bobby. "Now you can pull your weight."

"Hey, I brought this along.", Bobby said as he handed the Saber module to Lee. "You'll be needing this."

"Thanks.", Lee said as he pocketed the item. "Now then, Anna, since you helped reset the clocks, would you be so kind as to lead us."

"My pleasure.", Anna nodded. "Pink Booster!"

"Blue Booster!"

"Black Booster!"

"Red Booster!"

"Let's rev it up! Power Rangers Turbo Boosters!"

"Vier Rangers?", Klokverk gasped in shock. "Ach nein. This is nicht gut."

"Does this wind you up?", Anna asked. "Good."

"Time Warp!", Klokverk announced as the clock on his head spun rapidly, before he threw his twin swords at them.

"Did you forget about the Acceleration Boost?", Anna asked as she pressed down on her Morpher's pedal. She zoomed forward, managing to avoid the swords, before landing a slash, a kick, another kick and a second slash on the Automobeast. "Big mistake."

Klokverk was now sparking from the damage he had taken. "My body ist clocked up."

"Now to clean you clock fully.", Anna announced as she pressed a button on her Wheel Saber, before firing a shot that she launched like a projectile at Klokverk. "Steering Strike!" The projectile merged with Klokverk, with Anna spinning the Wheel Saber around to rotate his body accordingly, until he crashed onto the floor. "Like a record."

"And let's cut it now.", Lee declared as he and the other two performed simultaneous slash attacks, hitting Klokverk with enough force to defeat him.

"Es ist… Nein!", Klokverk cried out as he exploded.

Down in the dumps, while Grillion and K.P were still coming to, Meowbile's eyes glowed red. "Showtime.", he declared as he zoomed off to devour the energy released by Klokverk's destruction, before departing down the Hyper-Dimensional Road.

"That's our cue.", George commented. "Though Bobby will have to sit this out for now."

"No problem.", Bobby said as he demorphed. "As long as I get to take the wheel when I do get to join you, I'm good."

"With that settled, let's go.", Lee said as he led the others in inserting their usual modules. "Turbo Zords, lock in!"

On the Hyper-Dimensional Road, the race began again. This time, Grillion and K.P were observing through a screen. "Well we've lost twice already, so surely third time's the charm, right?", Grillion said.

"Go for it, Meowbile!", K.P cried out.

Meowbile himself was surrounded by the three main Zords from the front and the sides. "Can't ya give a crook a break for once?", he growled.

"Nope.", was Anna's answer.

As George pulled Blue Mountain towards the target, Meowbile began thrashing to get out of his predicament. "Ya'll never take me alive!", he hissed as he futility tried to escape, only to end up caught in exactly the same fashion. "Aw come on!"

"Time you got pulled over.", Lee said as he moved out of the way to allow Meowbile to move straight on… over the edge of the road, sending him hurtling back to reality, which Grillion and K.P watched with shock.

Back in Crosslands, Meowbile released his load, restoring Klokverk at giant size. "Restart ze clock.", he announced.

"Would it kill them to shrink once in a while?", Anna asked, annoyed.

"This just means it's my turn to show off.", Mover radioed her. "Let's combine."

"Alright.", Anna said as she and he others went through the usual combination sequence before returning to reality.

"Accel Booster Megazord, ready!"

The fight began anew, with Mover trying to land a hit on Klokverk, which was easily dodged, as the Automobeast began smashing buildings. "What did they ever do to you?", he asked.

"Paving flora to construct zese monstrosities is a vaste of time.", Klokverk answered as he engaged Mover in a sword fight with his twin swords, managing to gain an advantage. "And I Kann nicht stand wastes of time."

"Maybe we need to underclock him.", Lee suggested. "Try the screw strike."

"Let's go.", George called out as he moved his arm in to do so… only for the attack to be completely ineffectual, as Klokverk's screws were rusted and stripped.

"That figures.", Anna sighed.

"It's never easy is it?", George asked.

"Double Zehn Time Slash!", Klokverk announced as he unleashed a clock themed strike with his swords in the 10 and 2 positions. The attack made contact with Mover, knocking him into a building.

"Maybe we should use our new toy.", George suggested.

"Took the words right out of my mouth.", Lee said in response as he pulled out his Morpher and the small sized Saber Zord. "Summon Crimson Saber!" He inserted the car into the Morpher, summoningb its giant counterpart as he was transferred inside it. "Locking in." Mover returned to his portal form as the Crimson Saber emerged, with the roof, windows and windscreen folding outwards into a pair of wings and the cab folding outwards into a sword. "Accel Booster, Sword Mode!" A handle deployed, which allowed Mover to grasp the sword in his left hand.

"Now we're on an even field.", Anna realised. "Good thinking."

"That's the general idea.", George responded to her.

"Let's show him real timing.", Lee said as he piloted Mover to charge in and engage with Klokverk in battle.

Mover was now able to overpower Klokverk in battle. "I think we're making our points clear with you."

"Perhaps you need to relearn an old lesson.", Klokverk decided as he re-initiated his attack. "Double Zehn Time Slash!"

"Let's show this antique how people drive nowadays.", Lee declared.

"Right.", Mover nodded as he used his own attack. "Double Fifteen Steering Time Slash!"

The two attacks collided and held their place for a second, before Mover's proved victorious and made contact with its target, with Lee spinning the wheel so Mover could pose dynamically. "Die Zeit ist tot!", Klokverk cried out as he fell down and exploded.

"We did it!", Anna cried out in joy as Mover broke his pose.

Some time later, Anna led Lee, George and Bobby to the Drive-In. "Well it looks like she never re-opened since this all started, so we have the place to ourselves today.", she said as she unlocked the door. "Come on, drinks are on me."

"Oh, I'll still pay for mine.", George replied as he ran in after her. "Aunt Anita will kill me if she finds out I'm not paying for my drinks here."

As they went in, Bobby held Lee back to talk to him. "Shouldn't we head back to the bank and pick up the rest of the activator modules? We almost came close to the Star Kats getting the Saber."

"Oh, don't worry, we don't keep all of them at the bank.", Lee clarified. "Mover had them programmed with a minimal AI who would find the ideal place to hide until we needed them. But you're probably right. We need to secure them before the Mafia gets their hands on them. But not right now." He then led his latest teammate inside the diner to celebrate another hard-earned victory.
