Over the past few weeks, our team faced multiple challenges, each test pushing us to our limits. We encountered Captain Chaku, who was battling Ryjack. Captain Chaku explained that Ryjack's true aim was to steal the Legendary Ranger Weapons from the Ranger Vault. To level the playing field, Chaku's superiors sent his battleship, the Reptilobeast, to aid us in future confrontations with Ryjack. Commander Shaw, impressed by Chaku's dedication, offered him a position at Grid Battleforce once Ryjack was defeated, an offer he eventually accepted.
Captain Chaku got settled into his new quarters with assistance from Ben and Betty. However, their curiosity led to a mishap with an alien plant, nearly swallowing them whole until Captain Chaku intervened. Alone, Chaku made a heartfelt call to his daughter, revealing the sacrifices he made for his duties, unaware that Nate overheard the conversation.
Concerned for Chaku's well-being, Nate and I confronted him, urging him to confide in the team. Reluctantly, Chaku revealed his cyborg nature, a result of his duty, and expressed doubts about his daughter's acceptance. Despite Nate's reassurances, Chaku remained skeptical. As tensions rose, we detected Ryjack's assault on the Ranger Vault. Descending into the tunnels, we confronted Ryjack and his forces, engaging in a fierce battle. Despite our efforts, Ryjack proved resilient, even resorting to a mysterious device of ancient origin to transform into a giant.
Undeterred, we rallied our Zords, facing Ryjack in an epic showdown. With the combined might of our Ultrazord and Captain Chaku's Reptilobeast, we vanquished Ryjack, securing victory for Coral Harbor. In the aftermath, Nate devised a plan to remove Chaku's cybernetic enhancements using the same device that gave them their Ranger powers, allowing him to return to his daughter as a human. Grateful for the opportunity to be reunited with his family, Chaku bid us farewell, his heart full of gratitude.
As life returned to normal, Ben and Betty's antics with Chaku's plant provided moments of levity, reminding us of the bonds forged in our battles. And when Chaku and his daughter reached out with a message of gratitude, we were reminded that, in the end, family is the true source of strength, and we were all a family.
Now, we were working to gather as many of Ryjack's Ranger artifacts as we could before Evox could get to them. As we approached Ryjack's ship, a sense of apprehension washed over me. The unknown awaited us within those metallic walls, and caution was paramount. "We should be careful. Who knows how Ryjack's ship security is," I voiced my concerns to Zoey as we surveyed the exterior.
"Right. Let's split up," Zoey suggested and I nodded. I went around to the front while Zoey looked around back. As I meticulously inspected the ship's exterior, nothing out of the ordinary caught my attention... until Zoey's urgent call pierced the air.
"Kali!" her voice echoed through the silence, jolting me into action. Without hesitation, I sprinted back to her side, my heart pounding with anticipation. What...or rather, who I saw surprised me.
"Alpha!?" I asked in surprise.
"You know this robot?" Zoey asked curiously.
"Yeah! Well, I've read about him. That's Alpha...it's hard to tell what model but Alpha 5 was the Mighty Morphin Rangers' friend and helper," I explained. Then, upon closer examination I noticed something around his neck. "Is that...a compliance collar?" I asked, and Zoey nodded meekly.
"That's... sort of my fault. I didn't recognize him, and I thought he might've been one of Ryjack's..." Zoey admitted, her voice trailing off with remorse. I offered her a small, understanding smile.
"I get it. Come on, let's get him back to base so Nate can take this thing off," I said, my determination to right our mistake unwavering.
However, just as we were starting to leave, Scrozzle, Roxy and Blaze showed up. I immediately got ready to fight. "Thanks for doing all the work for us, Rangers. We'll be taking that robot now," Blaze's smug smile sent a shiver down my spine. Instinctively, I stepped in front of Alpha, a protective barrier between him and our adversaries.
