Access 04: Mod Green, His Drill Shall Pierce the Heavens!

Shortly after the monster’s defeat and the Modranger’s latest victory over the Viral forces the team, as promised, took Matt to their headquarters. One awkward and cramped car ride later, the team arrives outside the internet cafe. Matt’s hopes and dreams of seeing all kinds of cool sci fi tech were prematurely shattered “THIS is your super secret HQ? It isn’t at all what I was expecting...” Matt says disappointedly.. The rest of the team follows Matt out of the car and Jordan smiles at him. “This is just the outside man. C’mon, there’s more to this old place then meets the eye.” He says with a grin.

Matt is rather skeptical but still follows the team into the Internet cafe. An eyebrow was raised at the odd interaction between the Team and the Staff, who didn’t seem at all bothered at their presence. Matt raises another eyebrow at the retina scanner in the storage closet but his jaw drops when a hidden door is revealed moments after the terminal acknowledges Jordan’s identity. “After you, I insist” Jordan says, gesturing Matt to step inside the elevator. Matt steps into the lift and down the shaft the group went.

Moments later, the elevator arrives at it’s destination and the team step out. Matt’s can only gaze on, slacked jawed, as he marvels at the Command Centre’s high tech machinery. “Jordan...I will never...ever doubt you again for as long as I live...” Matt stammers. Jordan smiles and the four ModRangers line up, single file, in front of Tony. The group salutes their leader as Tony turns around and says “Good work team, at ease”. Tony approaches the ModRanger’s newest recruit and says “Matt, I won’t lie to you. This isn’t like on TV... There’s a very real risk that none of us will make it out of this alive. If you want to back out, now is the time.” Tony says. Matt bites his lower lip, deep in thought, before finally saying “And miss this once in a lifetime opportunity? Hell no! I’m in!” Matt says.

Tony smiles, in his hand he holds Matt’s ModBelt and pass and hands it to him. “Then welcome to the team...ZeoRangerV!” he announces. Matt nods and accepts the belt from Tony. “I won’t let any of you down!” he says. Tony acknowledges, “Good... Kickback! Why don’t you take our newest recruit to the simulation room and see what he’s capable of? Reggie, it’s also time you learn how to pilot your Mod Machine”. Reggie can’t keep a wide grin from appearing on his face as he salutes the commander. “This ought to be good”, he says to himself.

Meanwhile, in the cyber world, Hax was in high spirits. She was humming to herself as she began to analyze the data. Behind her, several Spammerbots were anxiously shuffling about, unsure of why they’ve been summoned by this mad woman. The doors to her lab slide open and VI1Z steps inside with Agro following close behind. “HAAAAAx...WHAAAAt...ISSS...yOUUUR proGRESSS?” He asks. “Ah! Boss! Great timing”. Hax lets out a sigh. “Unfortunately, I can’t replicate the DorkRanger’s gear yet... It seems like I’m missing... something but I don’t know what that certain something is...The tech they use is way too advanced for this era.” Hax says with a shrug. VI1Z lets out a discerning growl and Hax could tell that he was beginning to loose his patience. “B...b..b...BUT! From what information I was able to get off the suits... I can now use that data to upgrade our troops! See! Spammerbots! Enter the transformation pods!” The small group of Spammerbots fight amongst themselves to decide which of them will become Hax’s science experiments. Three of the monsters are taken by others and thrown into the large, egg shaped capsules. Hax pushes a button on her computer console and the pods suddenly start up with a loud hum. A crackling surge of energy courses through the pods, enveloping the Spammerbots.

The creatures emit groans of agony as they begin to mutate and change into a new hideous beast. The pneumatic doors of the pods open with a hiss and three large creatures exit the chambers amidst clouds of smoke. The beasts gaze at their new physiques, admiring their large muscles and even bigger fists. “Boys”, Hax says, addressing the beasts. “Why don’t you thank your comrades for volunteering you?” The three monsters grunt in agreement as the four remaining Spammerbots begin to quiver and attempt to escape. The beasts leap in front of the labs exit, towering over the quaking, cowering Spammerbots. Hax rubs her hands together and squeals in delight as the newly born monsters reduce the lowly footsoldiers to scraps.

“Preeeeeesenting...our new and improved foot soldiers...the Trollers!” Hax elaborates as she again giggles in delight, “I wanted something that humans would be afraid so I scoured their history databanks and based our new soldiers on beasts known as trolls’. “GOOooD. GoOoODDDdd”, VI1Z bellows. “YOoU HAAaVe DooNE wEll HaaAXx”. Hax clumsily curtseys, “It’ll take some time to prepare the upgrade program for the rest of our troops... And I’m still missing one or two vital parts of data to fully grasp the DorkRanger’s abilities”, she says. “Trollers! Lets go!” Hax commands, as she and the Trollers vanish from the room.

Matt’s Modranger Blank Suit looked similar to the one Reggie wore in every way except green line ran down the center instead of purple. att was standing in a simulated ruined cityscape. “All right, let’s start you off nice and slow so you can get a feel for your suit and...” Much to everyone’s surprise, especially Reggie’s, Matt’s suit suddenly announces “Data Construct recognized...downloading....downloading...download complete!” Matt’s suit becomes surrounded in an emerald green light as as the ranger suit begins to form. The light fades away and there stands Matt in his proper ModGreen suit. Amazed, Matt stares at his suit. “Wow, this feels totally awesome!” he exclaims, poking and prodding different parts of the armor. The team is stunned but it’s an astonished Reggie that’s the first to speak. “I....I...I...I don’t...I don’t believe it...it...it took me weeks just to summon the damned sword and he....he...” Reggie stammers. “Hey, don’t take it so personally... Everyone masters these suits at a different pace” Kickback says. Jordan nods and says “Yeah, for Kyle it was almost instantaneous... It was harder for Nathan and me.” Nathan and Kyle nod in agreement. “Hey! Give me something to fight! C’mon! C’mon! I want to see what this suit’s capable of!” He challenges. “Cool it, hot shot!” Kickback says, as he fiddles with the terminal’s dials and switches. “OK Poozer... Be careful what you wish for.” Kickback warns. In the sim room, Spammerbots materialize on the virtual plane. “Now that’s what I’m talkin about!”, Matt yells. The Spammerbots take aim at ModGreen as he raises his hand into the air and says “C’mon, give me a cool weapon!” The massive drill construct, almost too big for Matt to manage, materializes around in his right hand. “Aweeee hell yeah baby!” Matt says. The Spammerbots fire but Matt plants the large drill down, deflecting the laser blasts. The drill constricts to a more manageable size and, drawing his ModBlaster, Matt returns fire on the creatures.

Four Spammerbots go down without much effort and the last one is quickly taken out by Matt’s drill. The ModGigaDrill vanishes from his hand, Matt dusts his hands off, and turns to Kickback. Matt points to the control and room and smugly says “C’mon man! Footsoilders can’t be the best you guys can come up with... Give me a challenge! I’m hardly breaking a sweat here.” he says. Kickback lets out a sigh and responds with “You young guns are always like this! Fine, you want a challenge... We’ll give you one” Kickback says. “Please... Allow me” Reggie says. He approaches the terminal, a smirk on his face, and begins to rub his hands together. “Now... Which button was it...” He mutters to himself as he looks at the control panel with it’s foreign buttons, switches, and displays. After a moment, an annoyed Kickback interrupts Reggie’s thought process, “Why don’t you tell me what you want and I’ll create it?”, he asks. Reggie leans forward and whispers something into Kickback’s ear. Kickback shrugs, “Whatever you say, kid”, and presses a few buttons on his panel.

The city landscape changes instaneously to a barren wasteland. Two holograms flicker to life in front of Matt and he lets out a gasp in shock. Standing in front of him are the Gobuster villains Enter and Escape in their Metaroid forms. “Ca va, Monsieur?” The hologram of Enter says, swiping his blade with his hand. The Escape hologram raises her guns saying “This is Gock, and this is Magock, and I’m Escape. I’m pretty good!”, she says. Matt chuckles and counters her boast. “Yeah, well I’m damned good too, lady!", he says. Enter vanishes in the blink of an eye then suddenly reappears in front of Matt. Enter attempts to hit the Ranger with his sword but the attacks are parried by Matt’s ModGigaDrill that has changed sizes to match the length of Enter’s sword. The two warriors clash weapons once more, neither of them willing to back off. Suddenly, Enter vanishes once again and Escape points both guns towards the Modranger.

Matt lets out a gasp as Escape begins to fire at him. With the Drill arm, Matt parries each shot but is blindsided by Enter. Matt staggers and falls to his knees. Enter and Escape chuckle but suddenly, a computerized voice says. “Login accepted...charging”. Matt surges forward and slashes at Enter, knocking the villain's sword out of the way. The Ranger points his Modblaster in Enter’s face as Matt cocks his head to the side and says "C'est la viei” The sharp crack of the laser blast resonates across the barren wasteland. Escape shields her eyes but gasps as Enter is taken down by the blast. Working quickly, Matt inserts the Modpass from his gun and into the drill weapon. The Gun again responds “Log in accepted, charging...” The drill expands in size and begins spinning at a high velocity. “GIGA....DRILL...BREAAAAAAAAH!” Matt shouts. The drill collides with Escape’s body and the villain cries out in agony as she explodes. Matt dramatically turns his back to explosion and allows the gigadrill to dissipate into bytes and bits. He strikes a pose cooly and says “Villains, you’ve just been exterminated”.

Reggie’s stands slack jawed, sharing a sense of shock with the rest of the team. “I...I don’t believe...he...he took them both down...two of the strongest villains in Gobusters and he...he took them down like they were nothing!” He stammers. Reggie clenches a fist, shooting a glare towards Matt “I...I...I can’t let him beat me! I’ll show this rookie who’s boss!” He thinks to himself.

---

Matt powers down and steps into the control room. He smacks his hands together “Woooooo! Oh man...what a RUSH!” he shouts. “Dude... Where did you learn to fight like that?” Jordan asks. “Well, my dad taught me how to use firearms, the rest I learned from taking self defense classes at college.” The sound of clapping fills the room and the group collectively turns to see Tony Bacala standing in the doorway. “Impressive, most impressive. I think we might’ve picked the right candidate!” he says. “C’mon, follow me... It’s time you learned how to pilot your mechs” Tony says. The group steps out of the control room, leaving Reggie behind. Reggie clenches both of his fists and glares at Matt while he making odd noises that sound a lot like a boiling kettle.

Another section of the training room was an area that Reggie spent very little time in. There is a large cylinder-shaped hub in the center of the room, thick cables branching out from it to five pods that are dispersed in a half hexagon pattern. “Okay, Matt. You handled yourself pretty well on the battlefield but piloting a mech is an entirely different animal” Kickback says. Walking over to the machine, he places his hand on the pod and says “These machines are built to work exactly like your mech’s cockpit. They’re design to simulate real combat, meaning if you get hit...you’ll feel it.” Kickback explains. “That’s why you should never use one of these machines without someone monitoring with you... Simply insert your ModPass and the machine will do the rest.” Kickback says.

Matt approaches the console and sees a card reader on top of the pod. He inserts his ModPass into the reader and the light changes from Red to green with the machine responding “ModPass recognized, welcome.” The cockpit hatch slowly opens, letting out a loud pneumatic hiss as it does. Rubbing his hands together, Matt sits down at the controls and the hatch closes shut. The interior of the pod goes dark for a moment but in front of him a blue screen flickers on and the sounds of the machine starting up are heard. The simulated environment loads onscreen and Matt lets out an amazed “Whoaaaaaaa! It’s exactly like at the arcades! The thing even keeps score!” “Hey Reggie! What are you waiting for? Hop in already” Kickback says, noticing that Reggie is still shooting mental, flaming arrows at Matt. Reggie snaps back into reality and mutters “Huh? Oh...um right”. He rummages through his pocket and pulls out the Mod Pass. Activating the pod next to Matt, he steps in.

With the newbies inside their respective Mod Machines, Kickback steps inside the operating room. He fiddles around with the terminal’s controls and a large squad of Spammerbots appear on screen. “Hey Reggie, why don’t we have a little wager?” Matt asks. Reggie turns towards Matt and grumbles something to himself “Fine, you’re on! Looser has to by the team dinner! And not something cheap like pizza or fast food either!” Reggie says. Matt smirks to himself “Well I’m in the mood for Chinese! I know this great place downtown.” He says. “Fine, whatever! High score wins, game on! Hey Kickback! Set a time limit for 30 minutes!” Reggie shouts.With a shrug, Max says: “I guess a little friendly competition wouldn’t hurt... All right newbs, you got it!” . “If you’re all set, the sim is going to start in 3.. 2.. 1! Go!”, he shouts.

Reggie is first to take charge, letting out a scream at the top of his lungs. Guns deployed, he fires like a madman at the group of SpammerBots. The wild shots still hit their target and destroy a large number of Spammerbots. Meanwhile, Matt tunnels underground in his machine and reemerges behind a group of Spammerbots. With a smirk Matt opens fire, obliterating the group of monsters.

This pattern would continue, with the scores for both Matt and Reggie climbing up and up. Just when it looks like Reggie would be the clear winner, Matt manages to close the gap and the two were now neck and neck. “Man, Reggie’s really fired up today!” Nathan says. Kyle nods in agreement Reggie transforms the ModPhoenix into ModGamma and lands in the center of a large group of enemies. With a sword in each hand, Reggie furiously hacks his way through the horde of Spammerbots. Despite his furious and aggressive attacks, one Spammerbot manages to grab hold of his legs, trapping him in place.

Reggie lets out a gasp as he desperately tries to get free. The match timer begins its countdown “10....9....8....7....6...5...4....3...2....1....0!” In the final seconds, Matt rockets up from under the ground, the drill at the front of his tank impaling the Spammer bot holding Reggie’s mech in place. Transforming into robot mode, his drill begins to spin at a high speed. Matt drives the drill down into the ground, the resulting attack causing an earthquake. The resounding shockwave rips through the simulated landscape, deleting the last remaining Spammerbots and allowing Matt’s total score to surge past Reggie’s.

The final total was Reggie: 28,000. Matt: 30,000. Matt comes out of the cockpit “Woo! Kung Pow chicken is going to taste so sweet today!” He triumphantly shouts. The rest of the team approaches Matt and congratulates him on his victory. The group walks out of the room, leaving a furious Reggie behind. He balls his hands up into tight fist and begins to gnash his teeth together. Like a volcano erupting, Reggie lets out a cry of anger and takes out his frustrations on the cockpit dashboard. He slams his fists onto the dash before getting out of the pod to kick it with all the strength he could muster. Reggie quickly realizes that attacking an solid steel object is not the best of ideas, as pain shoots through his foot. He grabs onto his foot, hopping up and down on one leg while shouting every profanity and curse word he can think of. The alarm system goes off in the middle of Reggie’s painful tangent. Jordan runs back into the room and shouts “Hey Reg! Quit messing around! We got a job to do” He yells. Looking up towards Jordan, Reggie nods and hurriedly limps out of the room.

*Insert Internal Eyecatch Here*

The morphed team of ModRangers leaps into action Jordan lets out a “Tch,” and adds “Again with these attacks?” He says in an annoyed tone. “Gotta admit they’re persistent” Nathan quips. Matt slams his fist into his open palm and says “All right! It’s time to show you guys what I can really do!” Matt says. He draws his ModBlaster and charges ahead of the group. Clenching a fist Reggie says “I won’t let you beat me!!!” he shouts and runs to catch up.

Nathan and Kyle are about to join in when Jordan suddenly stops them “Jordan! What gives? Shouldn’t we help out?” Nathan asks “The princess is itching for some action!” Kyle says stroking his ModPistol. Jordan turns towards the two and says “We could but...I want to see how the newbs handle themselves on their own.”

ModBlaster in hand, Reggie leapfrogs over a Spammerbot, quickly turns, and then fires at the monster while roundhousing another that tried to sneak up on him. Seeing a squad of five Spammerbots about to fire on him, Reggie picks up the one he knocked to the ground and uses it as a meat shield.

It’s at this moment that he noticed the other ModRangers were just standing on the sidelines. He sees ModRed sitting on the ground watching them, arms and legs crossed. Nathan was standing around texting, while Kyle was slow dancing with the ModPistol in it’s MML doll mode. “Really guys?!”, he shouts, throwing a Spammerbot into the group that fired at him. He then returns fire with his own ModPistol, obliterating the group while narrowly managing to avoid another punch. “I see how it is... I’m not afraid to do all the heavy lifting you know!” Reggie yells.

Eventually, Reggie and Matt stand back to back with each other as a new wave of Spammerbots arrive on scene. “Hey Reg, how about we go double or nothing? Loser has to buy lunch for the whole team too!” Matt says. “Oh, you’re on!” Reggie says as he fires at the Spammerbots. “Better hurry up, cause I’m already at 59 kills!” Matt says with a laugh. He arms himself with the ModGigaDrill in lance mode and cuts his way through the Viral forces. “uuuragh! I can’t stand that guy! Who the hell does he think he is?!” an annoyed Reggie says to himself, fighting away through his own mess of Spammerbots.

Matt is happily cutting away at Spammerbots, all the while counting up from his previous number. Another one goes down, but a Troller suddenly leaps towards him. “Huh? Oh, so you wanna play too. Huh, tough guy?!” Matt thrusts his ModGigaDrill at the Troller but the beast parries the attacks with it’s large fists. Knocking the drill away, the Troller hits Matt square with an uppercut, sending him flying upwards and then dropping to the ground. Surprised, Matt would say "Tough and ugly…owe…" and stammers to his feet.

The second Troller lands in front of Reggie, he lets out a gasp as it sends a series of powerful punches in his direction. With his sword, Reggie attempts to block the attack but his weapon is knocked away. “Whoa! What’s the deal with this guy?! They’re a lot tougher than the usual cannon fodder!” Reggie lets out a cry of pain as he’s knocked away by the Troller’s attack. Meanwhile, the third Troller appears and bounds toward Blue, Red, and Black. Black is the first to notice this this new threat, panicked he cries out to the others, “Guys look out!” Red gasps as the Troller heads straight for him. The beast drives his fist into the ground but ModRed manages to roll out of the way just in time. ModBlue and ModBlack open fire at the Troller but the attacks have little effect on the creature.

The enraged Troller barrels toward the two Rangers and Black manages to get out of the way, but Blue is caught off guard. He lets out a gasp and quickly calls “ModClawShield!” ModBlue brings the shield up just in time but is still sent flying back. Nathan hits the ground hard with an “Oomph!”. Red rushes in and attacks with his sword but the blade bounces off the Troller’s thick hide. “What’s with these guys?! Whoa!” Jordan cries. He narrowly avoids the Troller’s massive fist, evading the attack with a back flip. “We take him down together man!” Nathan says and Kyle nods in agreement. “Right! Alpha 5 formation then! Move!” Jordan says

Nathan and Kyle move around the monster while simultaneously shooting at the beast. “Over here!” Nathan cries, throwing his ModClawShield at the Troller. The shield slams into the monster’s back with little effect but the force is enough to make the Troller loose his balance. Following up on Nathan’s attack, Kyle fires unrelentingly at the Troller. The beast lets out a grunt as he’s hit by the barrage of attacks and Jordan comes up from behind, attacking the monster with an upward slash.

With the monster finally worn down from their coordinated assault, the three take out their Mod Pass and insert them into their respective weapons. Each weapon comes alive with “Login accepted, charging.” Nathan throws his shield shouting “Claw Shield Electro Strike!!!” and throws the shield like a boomerang. It flies towards the monster and makes a solid hit. Kyle’s gun begins to charge with energy and he shouts.“Megurine Full Burst!” He fires a ball of energy that takes the shape of Luka and winks at the monster before returning to it’s energy form. It hits the monster square in it’s chest, sending it flying.

The smoking Troller struggles to get up as Jordan moves in, his sword beginning to charge with energy as ModRed screams at the top of his lungs “Ore wa no hisatsu waza!!!” He grabs the sword hilt with both hands holding it over his head in a Hassan Chop pose. “Parto 4!” Jordan brings the sword down and as he does the energy around his blade grows to enormous lengths. The energized blade cleaves through the monster, as well as the ground beneath it. The Troller lets out a final, agonized groan before falling back, sparks flying from it’s body before finally exploding. The three ModRangers turn around to pose cooly but Kyle break from his pose and smacks Jordan’s arm. “Dude, you skipped a Hisatsu! What about Part 3 man?” He asks. “To hell with that! I ain’t got the time to properly count! 1, 2, 4, 5!” Jordan happily says.


Meanwhile, Reggie and Matt are finding their own enemies to be more than enough trouble. Both ModGreen and ModViolet are knocked into the air by an explosion, landing hard on the ground causes them to drop their weapons and their transformations to cancel out. A troller lumbers over to the fallen Modgreen, backhands him, and slings the unconscious Matt over his shoulder. The second beast comes for Reggie, but he scrambles for his ModBlaster and fires a series of shots, knocking the Troller back. “Reggie! Matt!” Jordan shouts. The ModRanger trio fires at the Troller bearing down on Reggie. The monster backs off but suddenly slams his fists together, sending a shockwave that knocks the trio off their feet. They too land hard and their transformations are canceled.

This distraction allows Reggie to scurry away and take aim at the Troller holding Matt. Reggie lines up the shot with his shaking hands but he hesitates a second too long. “What are you dolts waiting for?! Go! Go!” Hax shouts from her perch. The two Trollers look at each other and then vanish with Matt in tow. Reggie lets out a gasp and shouts “MAAAAAAATTT!!!!!” He falls to his knees and the three ModRangers walks up towards him. “It’ll be all right Reggie... We’ll find him” Jordan quietly says.

-----

Injured, the ModRangers retreat back to base while Kickback and Sentai Tamashi tend to the team’s wounds “OUCH!” Reggie cries, as he feels the burning, stinging iodine seeping into his wounds. “Quit squirming, you big baby!” Kickback says, slapping a bandage over the lacerations. Reggie bites his lower lip, his hands ball up into fists and he slams them onto the table in frustration. “This is all my fault! Matt’s in enemy hands and it’s all because of me!” Reggie exclaims. “Chill Reg, no one is blaming you... Ouch!” Jordan says, as Sentai Tamashii was addressing his wound. “No! You guys don’t get it!” Reggie says and then shamefully looks away from the group. All eyes are now on Reggie as they await his explanation. “I...I had a clear shot of the damned monster but I hesitated!!! I could’ve saved Matt but I allowed him to get captured!” He stammers. Reggie takes in a deep breath, he was shaking trying to hold back the tears. He finally calms down and explains.

“I...I...it took me weeks to finally master my suit and then Matt comes along and BAM! just like that he upstages me” said Reggie. He emphases the ‘bam’ by slamming his fist onto the tabletop in front of him. “He was so damned cocky that it just pissed me the hell off! I wanted... I begged to some higher power to knock Matt off his damned high horse! Guess I got my wish...” he ends his sentence with an uneasy chuckle. The group looks towards Reggie as he vents his frustration. Jordan is the first to get up and comfort Reggie by placing a hand on his shoulder. “It’s okay man... Just get it all off your chest. In a way we were all like that when we first started off... But you have to get passed that. We all have to tolerate the people we're with and learn to function as a team...” Jordan says. Looking at Reggie in the eye, Kyle, Nathan, Max, Ryan, and Tony all nod. “The good news is he’s still alive... Mod Belts are hard wired to your DNA, allowing us to monitor your condition and adjust the suit accordingly during battle.” Ryan says. He steps over to the control terminal and with the push of a button displays the team’s life signatures and Matt’s heart electro graph was still reading. “I’m tracking his signal now, but there’s something blocking his signal... If they try to tamper with his belt or if Matt transforms... I’ll know where he is in a heart beat.” Ryan says. He no sooner stops talking when the machine begins to beep and on the map pops up on screen, an area of the city is highlighted with a green crosshair. “Speak of the devil... He’s in the abandoned warehouse district! Point 2-A!” Ryan exclaims. The Modrangers stand up and salute, they all respond with “Roger!”

---

At the aforementioned warehouse, Hax approaches the unconscious Matt whom is securely chained to a steel pole, the two remaining Trollers standing beside side him. Hax has a smile on her face and takes delight in throwing a bucket of ice cold water onto Matt. The ice water slapping him in the face would cause him to jump start him into consciousness. Matt snaps to with a gasp, his impromptu bath only adding further insult to injury. “Sleep well?” Hax asks tossing the bucket aside. The bright and garish colors of Hax’s attire is enough to cause Matt to let out a disgusted groan. “What reject anime did you come crawling out of?” Matt asks, weakly.

Annoyed, Hax slaps Matt as hard as she could, “Be quite!”, she commands. “Now, how does your belt work? How do you transform? Answer me!” She yells. “Lady, you’re asking the wrong person... I just joined the team. Hell if I know.” Matt grins. “Tch... Fine. If you won’t tell me, then I have other ways of finding out.” Hax says. A series of wires suddenly extend from Hax’s body and menacingly move towards Matt. “Whoa... Hey now! Keep those away from me! I’ve seen enough Hentai to know where this is going!” Matt says. Hax giggles and moves in closer to Matt but the sound of explosions interrupts her. “Tch! Looks like your dorky friends are here...” Hax turns towards the Trollers and motions her head towards the exit. “I’m vulnerable like this, stall them!” She says. The two Trollers nods and move towards the exit.

Outside, the ModRangers are battling a large squad of SpammerBots. “Man, there’s no end to these guys!” Kyle says “Reggie! Go rescue Matt! We’ll cover you!” Jordan says. Reggie looks towards Jordan stunned “Are... Are you sure?” Reggie asks. Jordan nods “You want to apologize to Matt don’t you? Well actions speak louder than words!” Jordan yells. Stunned, Reggie looks away from Jordan, but ModRed gives him a reassuring nod. “Thanks guys!” Reggie shouts. ModViolet lets out a hot blooded scream as he charges through the group of enemies, the ModSpinSword in his hand “Clear a path for him guys!” Jordan shouts. Kyle and Nathan respond with “Right!” and the Trio fires at the group of SpammerBots in front of Reggie. He breaks through the crowd but is blindsided by an attack by the two Trollers. They swing their massive fists at Reggie but he manages to narrowly dip, duck, and dodge out of the way. Kyle, Jordan, and Nathan fire on the Trollers. “Hey dumb assess! Over here!” Nathan shouts. “Come and get us!” Jordan yells. Kyle turns around, showing the Trollers his butt and slaps it in a taunting manner. Annoyed, the two trollers ignore Reggie and bound towards the trio. “Thanks guys! Hang tight!” Reggie yells.

Hax’s tendrils work their magic and she was giggling in delight watching Matt trying to break free from his restraints “Struggle all you want, it’ll be over soon!”, she says in delight. Hax is taken off guard and hit from behind by Reggie’s Modblaster. She lets out a cry in surprise as her tendrils hastily retract back into her body. “Get your hands off him, you damned dirty robot lady!” Reggie yells. Modviolet quickly aims and fires on the chains binding his teammate. Free at last, Matt wastes no time transforming into ModGreen. Giga drill in hand, he strikes Hax in an upward slash motion and she cries out in pain again as she’s knocked to the floor. “Matt. Man I’m so sorry... I... Because of me you...” Reggie begins to stammer. Matt interjects and places his hand on Reggie’s shoulder “Save it for later right now we got a battle to win!” He says. “Together then?” Reggie asks. Matt nods “Together bro!” and the two shake hands.

“Tch... You guys are making me angry!” Hax slowly stands up and whips out her own personal weapon: a large bazooka. “You won’t like me when I’m angry!!!!” She says, and the Bazooka begins to charge with energy. “Uh oh....” Matt and Reggie say in unison. Hax fires at ModRangers, the resulting explosion knocking them out of the warehouse and back outside.

Simultaneously, the other Modrangers are also knocked off their feet by explosions. The two groups come together and as they hit the ground their transformations cancel out. Hax joins the two Trollers and laughs. “That’s what you get for interrupting my work, nyah, nyah! Why don’t you just give up? There’s no way you can beat me now that I know how your gear works!” She says. “Yeah, sorry... She scanned my belt guys.” Matt says, struggling to get up along the rest of his teammates. “Stow that talk! We’re more than just the suit and the weapons! She might know how they work but she doesn’t know how we use them! You want to learn how our stuff works so badly? Well why don’t we show you the hard way! Right guys?!” Jordan shouts. The team nods and all together they respond “Right!” “All right guys! let’s do this!” Jordan shouts, strapping his ModBelt back on. The group follows suit and then each Ranger takes out his personal Mod Pass. All together they shout “MOD ACESS! LOG IN!” Each insert the pass into their belt and the belt responds with:

“Red Login accepted, downloading.” As Red’s suit materializes, he shouts “Ore...Sanjou! Mod Red!” Jordan does Den-O’s Signature pose as the suit appears around his body, a red explosion is seen behind him.

“Blue, Login accepted...downloading.” Blue’s suit begins to materialize over his body, as it does he says “Spiky Courage! Shield of Tokunation! ModBlue!” He shouts and then strikes Moune’s signature roll call pose as a blue explosion can be seen behind him.

“Black Login accepted....downloading” As Black’s Suit materializes over his body, he takes out his Luka Plus and begins to hug it saying “I am the one who will protect the Pink-haired goddess! ModBlack!” The suit appears over his body, and a black explosion is seen behind him.

“Violet, log in accepted...downloading” It was Reggie’s turn to transform as the suit materializes he shouts “The Princess of my Desires is my Hope in my Delusions! Newbie Mod! ModViolet!” He strikes Kamen Rider OOO’s signature pose, and a purple colored explosion can be seen behind him.

“Green, Log in accepted....download” Finally, Modgreen’s suit begins to appear over his body as he does he shouts “Striking from across the Atlantic, the logic defying Moderator! ModGreen!” He points his finger to the sky, and as he does a Green colored explosion is seen behind him.

Hax lets out a gasp seeing the five of them now transformed. Together they shout “Banning scum and villainy off the face of the Tokunation!! Tokunation Sentai...” The four strike another pose. “MODRANGER!” A large explosion featuring each of the Mod’s respective color is seen behind them.

“oooh...preeeetty....” The Trollers say in unison, mesmerized by the bright, multi-colored explosions and noises. Hax’s anger peaking, she smacks the two Trollers. “You dolts! Get them already! Attack! Attack! Attack!” She shouts. As the two Trollers rtowards the freshly transformed ModRangers, Hax retreats to a safe distance. Summoning their individual weapons Jordan says “These guys are tough, but they’re dumb... We can exploit that! Don’t attack them head on and try to keep them off balance!” He yells. The team nods in agreement as they all charge forward.

The ModRangers each engage the Trollers with their own fighting styles. ModBlack fires at one but each of his shots are punched away by the Troller’s massive fists. This distraction gives Mod Blue and Mod Red the openings they needed to attack him from behind with their weapons. The Troller tries to swing a punch at them but the smaller, nimbler Rangers are able to dodge the heavy, slow attack of the beast. Jordan catches the monster off guard and attacks him from behind with an energy charged slash. ModRed ducks out of the way as Nathan hits the Monster with a flying kick. Kyle runs towards the monster, shooting at it furiously. The monster attempts to swing a punch at Kyle but he ducks down and slides through the monster’s legs while continuing to fire like a madman. The Monster staggers back off balance, it’s body smoking from the shots.

Meanwhile, the two newbie ModRangers engage their Troller, nimbly avoiding the slow Troller’s massive fists. It stumbles for a moment, giving Green and Violet the opening they needed. The Rangers simultaneously strike the Troller with their melee weapons, sending the creature flying upward. It slowly rises to its feet and retreats to the side of the other Troller . Red, Blue, and Black draw their Mod Blasters and inserts their mod passes. The weapons come alive as the computerized voice responds with “Login accepted, charging....”

Reggie separates the Spinner and the Sabre and taking his ModScanner from the side of his ModBelt, scans the Taja-Spinner like weapon. The sabre responds with “SCANNING...FINAL WAVE! CHARGE!” As fire surrounds his suit and weapon, Reggie kneels down, getting ready to charge. “Gokai Giga Scan!!!!” Reggie shouts. Beside him, Matt inserts the Mod Pass into his Giga Drill and the weapon acknowledges his action with ‘Log in accepted, charging!” The weapon shifts from lance mode into a large drill that fits over Matt’s forearm like an extended glove. The drill continues to expand in size and spins wildly, surrounded by crackling energy. “Giga Drill Crusher!” Matt shouts.

Reggie charges first, his flaming body taking the shape of the Gokai Galleon with Tajadol’s wings and strikes through the first Troller. Matt follows behind, driving his drill straight through the second Troller. The drill stops spinning and Matt removes it, leaving a large gaping hole where the Troller’s abdomen use to be. At the same time, Kyle, Nathan and Jordan each fire their charged shots toward the two beasts. The Troller’s bodies begin to spark with electricity, and they fall crisscross from one another, exploding in a giant ball of fire. Victoriously, Matt and Reggie bump fists.

The sun is beginning to set as Red, Black, and Blue, now demorphed, watch from afar. Reggie rubs the back of his neck. “Matt... This isn’t easy for me to say but...I...I’m sorry for being such a jealous bastard!” Reggie says bowing. Matt smiles and lets out a sigh “Get up man, I’m at fault too... I guess I’m sorry for being such a pompous ass...” He extends his hand towards Reggie. “You saved my life today and as far as I’m concerned we’re even... We’re cool?” Reggie smiles and accepts Matt’s handshake. “We cool!” He says. Jordan and the rest of the team smile watching them making amends. The two rejoin the group and they begin walking down the road. With his hands behind his head Matt says “You’re still buying the team dinner, I did win our little wager after all” he says with a wink. Reggie drops his jaw and stomps his foot on the ground screaming out “Son of a BITCH!!!!!!”
