It wa say other unremarkable day at the city bus stop, as Kit Boxer disembarked from a bus, having spent the preceding weekend in Crosslands' sister city Spring Falls, visiting his grandmother. He had observed news of clocks the city over going crazy while he had been away using his phone, but hadn't thought much of it. If it was a monster, the Power Rangers would deal with it. But now, having spent the time thinking it over, he had decided that whatever these Rangers were fighting exactly, he wanted to be a part of it. And he had one choice in that regard: wait for a monster to show up and then try to identify them afterwards.


In the lounge of a luxury hotel that was closed outside of holiday seasons, the Star Kats were reading the latest issue of the Cosmic Herald, covering a recent battle between the Rangers and a coal based monster they had sent out recently, with somewhat predictable results. "'Power Rangers Pound Monster! Star Kats fail again.' Not the best publicity.", Grillion noted. He then began shaking the paper. "Eh this paper is in the pockets of the Kosmic Rats. You can tell by the name."

Grillion then went over and picked up a dart, which he threw at the nearby dartboard, which had an electric monitor that registered his score as 33. "Ya know we're down in da dumps when da best we can do is 33 in games and woik.", Meowbile sighed.

K.P then strode forward and grabbed the dart to use herself. "That's just one of us. Let's see what happens when my skills are added to the bargain." She threw the dart and missed the board completely, with it bouncing off the wall and landing on the floor.

"I guess the two of us don't have that many skills.", Grillion surmised as K.P could only stare at the fallen projectile. He and Meowbile then began laughing at her poor performance.

K.P then angrily pulled out her Overclock Key. "I'm much better at hitting my target in the face with this thing." She ran forward and plugged the key into the dartboard, turning it to birth a new monster. The resulting monster bore a dartboard themed collar, a sombrero with dart fins sticking out, two bandoliers full of darts and a target on his left shoulder.

"Don't worry Senor and Senorita.", the monster declared. "Targetface will beat those Pesky Rangers at my own game."

K.P and Grillion then approached the newly christened Automobeast. "'Targetface'? Not the most creative, but it'll do.", K.P stated.

"Gracias.", Targetface said as he bowed.


At the Rangers' base, Mover was in the process of typing code into his tablet, before pressing the shift key. "There, that should finish the programming for our next two Zord modules. Bobby will be happy to hear about them." As he brought up the map containing the locations of all the modules, the alarm sounded. "Oh great." He moved over to the transmitter to speak into everyone's Morphers. "Guys, we've got another Automobeast appearing in the city. You need to get over there now."

"Can't right now.", Bobby informed him. "My shift still has 10 minutes and my team don't know about my special clearance."

"Don't be too late.", Lee said mockingly. "We'll try to save some action for you."


In the town, Targetface had appeared with a group of Robolts, causing people to run away screaming. "Come on amigos. Won't somebody stop and play my games?", Targetface asked. "You just have to hit the centre of my dartboard."

Among the few who didn't run away was Kit, who hid behind a pillar to observe the monster. "The Rangers should be showing up soon. Then I can try and get their attention.", he thought.

It was then that the Rangers appeared, zooming onto the scene. "Ah, the Power Rangers.", Targetface declared. "You gringos are just in time to play the game of… Targetface!" He posed dramatically, with his Robolts joining in.

The Rangers looked more nonplussed than terrified by his announcement. "Is that thing's name really Targetface?", George said, as he laughed like he shouldn't be laughing.

"You won't be laughing when I beat you in a game." Targetface declared as he pulled a pair of darts from his bandolier, throwing them at George and Anna to knock them off balance. "Let's play, or else."

"Wait a minute.", Lee stepped forward. "We'll play your game, but not here. We want to be assured that no-one can get caught in the crossfire."

Targetface stopped to think about this. "Well, I suppose if I'm choosing the game, then you people should be allowed to choose the venue. I accept."

Anna went over to Lee to speak to him quietly. "Good idea, boss man. Take him out of harm's way so we can neutralise him. But where are we taking him?"

"Leave that with me.", was Lee's answer. "I've got the perfect place, provided we can play our cards right."


At the base, Mover observed the movements of the three Rangers and their enemies. "Wait, I think I recognise where they're going.", he realised, before stopping to think. "But why would Lee lead the enemy there?"

It was then that Bobby entered. "Sorry about that. Work was not budging on letting me go."

"Well you're here now, in time for some good news.", Mover informed him. "I've completed the programming for your two Zords, the Capture Cruiser and Vision Van." The lights came on to reveal a black police car and a purple police van. "The first is all yours, with all of the built-in cutting power of its saw, while the second is a spare that has the ability to create 5D holograms that look and feel real until switched off. The second one also has built in cannons that can deploy in battle."

"Well that's good.", Bobby said in response. "We just need to recover the activator modules, right? Where are they?"

Mover nervously rubbed his hand against the back of his head. "Well, that's the funny part. Lee had to lure the new Automobeast away from the city, and well…"


In a shipping warehouse, Kit watched from a hiding place as the three Rangers stared at Targetface and his posse. "He rules of the game are simple.", Targetface explained. "You through the dart to try and hit the centre of my target, and if you fail, you lose." He then threw the dart to Anna.

"Guess it's my turn.", Anna said nervously as she caught the dart. "Sadly, this is one time I don't have a backstory about being a pro I don't want to talk about, so there isn't a strategy I can use."

"Darts aren't about strategies, they're about spur of the moment." Targetface insisted. "It's impossible to cheat in darts."

"Well okay then.", Anna said, now confident. "It can't be that difficult. Unless it is, and I'll soon have a new story I don't want to talk about." She threw the dart and it made contact…

…with the side of the dartboard. "Fail.", Targetface stated.

"What?", Anna asked. "But I hit the target."

"True, but you needed to hit the centre of it, not just the target itself.", George reminded her.

"And with that failure, I've been powered up, Senorita.", Targetface declared, as he fired a beam from his hand that blew up a stacked crate, blowing metal pots and pans onto the Pink Ranger to knock her down.

"I'm going next.", George decided as he took out his Wheel Saber in gun mode. "And if you don't mind, I'm using my own method of shooting." He fired a shot.

But Targetface was merely singed as it missed again. "Not only a failure, but a cheat. Outside tools are forbidden.", Targetface stated as he signalled for a pair of Robolts to throw a cream pie each at George's helmet and shoulder, incapacitating him.

"Until Bobby gets here, then I'm our last shot.", Lee said as he stepped forward, catching the dart thrown at him. "I've got to do this."

"We'll go ahead. I'm asking for it.", Targetface said.

Lee threw the dart, which made contact with the centre of the dartboard. "I don't believe it, you managed to hit me.", Targetface said in shock. "Nice work, amigo."

"Good, now give me a prize.", Lee stated, as a throne came up from behind and forced him to sit in it, as chains were deployed. "What the-?"

"Oh, didn't I mention?", Targetface asked sarcastically. "The prize for winning the game is to be taken back as a captive. And Les Gatos Estrella will be happy with their prize from all this."

Still watching this from the sidelines, Kit moved outside and called out. "Hey, Black Ranger. If you can hear this, get over here as quick as you can. Your friends are about to be captured."

It was then that Bobby chose to speed onto the scene, slowing down in front of Kit. "Hey, you're the same guy who called in to warn about the Star Kats' plan to steal the Megazord."

"Christopher Boxer, at your service.", he said, saluting. "What kept you in particular? Why didn't you show up with the others?"

"I…" Bobby spent all of 5 seconds trying to think of an excuse, before sighing and undoing his morph. "I'm a police officer in my day job. I couldn't get away until a few minutes ago."

"Ah, right.", Kit nodded, understanding. "Anyway, your team's been captured by that freak and if you don't do anything, they'll be shipped off to those Star Kat guys."

"Then we need to get in there.", Bobby realised. "Tell me quickly, how did he beat them?"


Back inside the warehouse, Targetface's Robolts were picking up the incapacitated Rangers, all of whom were now unconscious. "Let's saddle these gringos up for the trip back to base.", he commanded.

"Not so fast." Targetface turned around to see both Bobby and Kit facing him. "You haven't beaten all the Rangers yet. Meaning there's still a 'best of' for you to win."

Targetface stopped to think about this. "I guess you're right that I only won two out of four matches." Then he came to a realisation. "If you two amigos are really Rangers, then prove it."

Bobby took out his Siren Morpher. "If you insist." He then pressed down on the pedal three times. "Ready! Set! Morph!"

"That won't be necessary.", Targetface stopped him. "The Morpher alone would've sufficed, hombre."

"Okay, then let's talk terms of the contest.", Kit then spoke up. "If one of us manages to hit you, then the Rangers have won and you have to let us all go. But if both of us fail, then you can take us all to your leader."

"Eh, why not.", Targetface shrugged. "I like to play fair. It keeps things interesting compared to a fixed game."


And so, with a few minutes to set up passing, all three Rangers recovered from unconsciousness to see Bobby and Kit preparing to take on Targetface. "Bobby, you managed to get here.", Lee said, happy to see his teammate, before noticing something else. Or rather, someone else. "Who's your friend?"

"Kit Boxer. I called to warn you about the plan I overheard a few days ago.", Kit answered. "I saw Bobby unmasked during the incident after he demorphed." This was something of a lie, but Kit figured that the truth would probably get Bobby in more trouble once this was over. This would also hopefully bring him closer to being an active aide to the Rangers.

"Well, thanks for the tip-off.", George said as he came to. "What're you doing here?"

"I'm here to even the odds.", Kit answered.

"It couldn't hurt.", Anna nodded. "Though Agent Malcolm won't like it."

"Nor will the Commissioner.", Bobby added. "But let's just do this now and worry about that later."

Kit then stepped forward to face down Targetface. "I trust you remember the rules of the game.", the latter asked.

"I throw this, trying to hit your target.", Kit answered. "If I miss the centre of the target, I lose. Like you said, it's simple."

"If that's it then, let's see you hit me.", Targetface said as he tapped his dartboard. "Go for it, amigo."

"Ok.", Kit then held up the dart, waving his arm back and forth as if to aim it… and then he ran forward and jabbed the dart right onto the red section of the target. "Got it. Right in the centre."

"Hey, that's cheating.", Targetface insisted. "Not cool, Amigo."

"You said we had to hit the target in the centre.", Kit pointed out. "You never said how we had to hit it. And I thought you said there was no cheating in darts."

Targetface grumbled. "Okay, I'll give you that one. But for your friend there, he has to throw it and hit me."

"Challenge accepted.", Bobby declared as he picked up the dart. He then moved his arm backwards to aim, before throwing it… at Targetface's head, striking him between the nose. "There, I hit you. Like you said."

With Targetface distracted, the three captive Rangers were released from their binds. "Nice work.", Lee complimented Bobby. "He said to hit him centre on. Too bad Targetface never specified the board this time around."

But then the three gasped in pain. "Those binds were tighter than we thought.", Anna realised. "I might need a minute to get back in the fight."

"I'll hold these guys off.", Bobby insisted. "You get Kit to safety."

"Can do,", George nodded groggily. He and the others took hold of Kit to escort him out. "Now then, we need to discuss a place to meet afterwards."

As Targetface recovered, Bobby took out his Morpher. "Now let's try this again. Ready! Set! Morph!" He pressed the pedal three times, before pressing the button on the bottom to complete the change.

Targetface was angry at being thwarted. "I'll teach you to play dirty. No more games, amigo. We settle this like honourable men."

He fired a large energy dart at Bobby, who merely used his Stick Saber in Ax mode to knock it back to him. "Return to sender." The force of the explosion sent Targetface flying out of the warehouse, with the Robolt crew running after him.


As the other Rangers escorted Kit away from the area, they saw Targetface getting defenestrated from the building. "I think that's your cue to go.", Kit told the Rangers. "I can get going on my own."

"Just remember where to meet us later.", Lee said as he and the others turned around.


Targetface was being picked up by his goons. "Gracias, mi amigos.", he wheezed out. He then turned to see the 4 Rangers zooming onto the scene. "It's time to settle the score."

"Red Booster!"

"Blue Booster!"

"Pink Booster!"

"Black Booster!"

"All together, Power Rangers Turbo Boosters!"

Targetface was annoyed by this. "Everyone knows who you gringos are by now!" He then motioned for his Robolts to attack. "Fire!" They unleashed a flurry of energy bolts at the Rangers, which were deflected to create an explosion.

The 4 Rangers then leapt from out of the inferno, with George and Anna running ahead. "Should we take care of this, Bobby?", Lee asked.

Bobby saluted. "Let's do this." They then ran forward into the fray, where George and Anna were beating off Robolts. Bobby tackle led one to the floor before hitting it with his axe, while Lee began using his Wheel Saber to slash more down. Bobby then went up against Targetface, who began to throw punches while partially spinning around. "Strike! Strike!", the Automobeast said mockingly. "Not so nice is it to have people hit you."

But Bobby merely knocked him aside, before beating away three Robolts with a series of punches and kicks. "I'm sorry, you were saying?"

On a higher level of the scaffolding, George was shooting at more Robolts, before leaping back to use another as a human shield. "I'm not going to sit back and let Bobby take all the fun.", he said, before shooting both Robolts, and turning around to shoot two more on a lower level."

"Right.", Anna said as she used her Saber to slash at more Robolts. "It wouldn't reflect well on us if the rookie was doing better." She flipped over a Robolt, before allowing herself to fall so two of them would crash into each other and she could stab a third wih a clean aim.

While Lee continued to slash his way through Robolts, Targetface prepared to hit him with a dart. "If I can't get El Negro, then El Rojo is a good substitute."

"You want me?" Targetface turned around to see Bobby, who leapt down to hit the monster with his ax. "You got me." He then knocked away Targetface's own weapon, before landing two more slashes and attempting to knock the enemy off his feet wih a kick. Bobby then grabbed Targetface by the waist and used his enhanced speed to push him through the entirety of the industrial complex they were in, eventually crashing into the gravel pit's barrier. Bobby then hit with his Ax once more, holding it in place as the wheels on his feet spun at a high velocity, allowing him to send Targetface flying. "And this time, stay down." He then turned to battle an approaching group of Robolts, taking two down with his Ax before kicking another away.

Behind him, Targetface prepared another attack. "Let's see how you like my super energy dart blast." He sent the energy projectile towards Bobby, who cut it in half with his Stick Ax, causing explosions to appear behind him. "Why you-!" Targetface then started firing darts from his wrist cannons at Bobby, who kept knocking them back.

"Stick Saber!" Bobby unfolded the blade on his weapon, before using it to block three incoming energy darts and swing them back at Targetface's head, causing an explosion. "Time to end this." He pressed down on the pedal of his Morpher three times, before leaping forward. "Stick Saber Strike!"

The blade made contact with Targetface, causing him to go up in an explosion. "That was on target.", he managed to blurt out as his body incinerated.

As Bobby posed, he heard a familiar voice zooming onto the scene. "Can't believe I hafta do dis again. And we was enjoyin' a day off too." Meowbile devoured Targetface's flames before entering the portal to the Hyper Dimensional Road.

The other Rangers quickly came running. "Don't worry.", Lee said as he took out the two Zord modules. "One of the Robolts knocked me into the hiding place for these. It's your turn to enter the big leagues."

Bobby took the small Cruiser Zord. "Thanks."

Lee then handed the smaller Van Zord to George. "Would you two mind sharing against that thing?"

"Not at all.", Anna commented. "I call shotgun."

George sighed. "Anna, there's only two of us driving this thing. You aren't unlikely to get shotgun." He then inserted the smaller vehicle into his Morpher's backside. "Summon Vision Van!"

Bobby then used his Siren Morpher to do likewise, after transforming his Stick Saber into a steering wheel. "Summon Capture Cruiser!"

Lee then spoke into his Morpher. "Mover, we're gonna need your assistance."

The larger Zords were deployed, with Mover coming in behind them. "It's time we show some new tactics with our new toys."


The 4 Rangers then materialised inside the Zords, with Bobby appearing in the Capture Cruiser after undergoing a similar transformation to the others, and reinserting his Morpher into the Stick Saber. "Capture Cruiser, locked in!"

George and Anna appeared in the other new Zord, with the former using his Wheel Saber on the right seat of the car to take control. "Vision Van, locked in!"

With Lee joining them from within Mover, the chase began as the other two Star Kats set themselves up to watch it in a junkyard. "So you have new toys? Big deal.", Meowbile boasted.

"Time you got pulled over.", Bobby stated as he pressed the pedal on his Morpher. "And with some backup to boot."

Within seconds, a whole fleet of Capture Cruisers and Vision Vans appeared from the bottom of a slope. "Aw crud.", Meowbile gulped as the multiple opponents came towards him from the other side of the road.

"You're under arrest.", Bobby called into a loudspeaker.


On Earth, Grillion and K.P beheld the sight. "When did they get that many guys on their team?", the former asked.

"The Fuzz are helping the Rangers now?", K.P added, just as confused.


"Wheel for it!", Meowbile declared as he stopped, turned around and zoomed off, pursued by the larger number of enemies. But he saw even more Capture Cruisers, which opened up to reveal spikes. "Aw sh-."

"Welcome to my homemade cattle grid.", Bobby stated as Meowbile ran over all the spikes, before being launched off the road. "Alright, show's over." He pressed the pedal again, dispersing the holograms he had created.


As night fell on Earth, Meowbile emerged from the portal and spewed up his load, reconstructing Targetface as a giant. "Time for a second round, gringos."

"Time for a new combination.", Lee decided. "Mover!"

"Initiating Megazord sequence." Mover opened up into his Gate Mode, with both support Zords driving through it. Capture Cruiser's front end opened to reveal spikes, while Vision Van had the hood fold outward into a pair of twin cannons. As Mover returned to robot mode, Vision Van spilt into two, with handles emerging for Mover to grip onto, and his head folded up so Capture Cruiser could take its place, deploying a new faceplate and folding the spikes into a policeman's hat. "Police Pursuit Megazord, ready for action!"


In reality, a fight began between Mover's new Megazord form and Targetface. "You're under arrest for excessive use of darts.", Mover declared.

From within Lee stated down the enemy. "This is exactly the opponent this Megazord was built for.", he stated.

"We'll just see.", Targetface growled as he threw a dart at the Megazord.

"Nice try.", Bobby said as he and the others triggered Mover to spin around and fire rapidly. "Suppressive Shots!" The gunshots continued for every dart that Targetface threw, managing to blow every one away. Mover then leapt to the side to launch a flurry of shots at Targetface himself.

But the Automobeast recovered quickly. "I'll show you my true power.", he declared as he drew his weapon and began swinging it at Mover, who managed to deflect it and disarm him wih almost comical ease.

Mover then fired twice at his opponent, before head butting him. "These spikes aren't just for show.", he stated as the blow made contact. "You gonna come quietly?"

"You'll never touch me.", Targetface announced as he summoned up a larger amount of darts, which he threw at Mover.

"Rapid Fire Flurry!" At Bobby's command, Mover launched another flurry of shots at the darts, blowing them up with enough force to create fireworks in the shape of the Turbo Boosters logo.

"It's so pretty.", Targetface said, in positive awe at the sight.

"Glad you like it. Because it's that last time you'll see the outside." Bobby had Mover aim his cannons at the monster, before he and the others pointed their hands at him, forming finger guns. "Fire!"

"Police Pursuit Maximum Blast!" Mover launched rapid fire shot at Targetface, managing to mortally wound him.

Before he died, Targetface noted that his target had turned into a "no darts" sign. "I'm banned from throwing darts. Can't I just get life imprisonment?", he asked as he fell down and exploded.

"Case closed.", Mover declared as he saluted.


Back at the factory near the warehouse, with all signs of sapient life having left the area, the machines handling construction burst into life, wielding several parts like nothing on Earth, all of different shapes and colours. These pieces were then placed together, identifying heir purpose as shoulders, arms, legs, a torso and a head, which upon assembly, had the same force that had taken over the factory uploaded into it, which caused the appearance of the robot body to change dramatically, as Technorg took their first steps in their new body, solidifying its appearance to their default. "Operation: Relocation. Task: achieved. New objective: gather information, and assume control of Earth operation from Roadhound."


At the same time, Kit travelled to the location he had been pointed in the direction of, a large house in the suburbs. "Looks like at least one of the Rangers is in the money." He then knocked on the door, using the knocker in a specific pattern, hitting it twice, before a half-second pause leading to two more knocks, followed by two slower knocks. He then saw the fountain in the courtyard, notable for the Burlesque of Venus statue, moved to the left to reveal a hidden staircase leading underground. "Face it, Kit old boy. Any chance of a normal life after today is a pipe dream."

He walked down the stairs, to be greeted by Bobby, along with three others - two men and a woman - and the Megazord these Rangers used, only at human size, were there to greet him. "So this is our little friend we're trusting every little secret with?", the robot asked. "My only note is that I thought he'd be taller."

"I could say the same for you.", Kit laughed, as he and the robot shook hands. "Kit Boxer. And you would be…"

"I'm M0-VR. But you can call me 'Mover'.", the robot answered. "George and Anna like to call me 'Mom', so you can choose whatever you want."

Kit turned to the three he didn't recognise, singling out the one girl. "Going by process of elimination, you must be Anna. And one of you is George."

"He's George.", the one in the centre answered. "And I'm Lee. The leader of this little outfit."

"Well now that we've got the introductions out of the way, there's just one question.", Bobby pointed out. "What do we do now?"
