"Very much this." Pilar agrees. "But if we're going to do this in a long haul, we can start by getting to know one another. How about we grab a bite to eat to celebrate our first win." She suggests.
Jayden looked at Pilar and smiled. "That I can agree with," he said. "I was on my way to find lunch when those things attacked the first time. I"m down if everyone else is."
"I could go for some food myself. Where did you have in mind?" Duncan piped up.

"Sounds like an idea too. I haven't gotten any lunch since the attack," Jafaar spoke with a smile on his face.

"No idea. I've only been here like....two days and haven't got to explore many options," Jayden said. "Red Ranger that doesn't know his town.....total fish out of water and it's gonna be fun."

"Well, how about we go to Roni's Diner." Pilar offers up her suggestion. "I've been to this place many times and it's great. They have the best meals, especially their pizza and pasta."

While the Rangers were deciding on dinner plans, Zaron sat inside of his lair. He began to stew over today's events. These new Power Rangers may prove to be troublesome if he doesn't stomp them out as quickly as possible.
"You Rangers will regret opposing me." Zaron looked on into the distance with a low growl. "That much I swear!" His staff began to sizzle with red electricity.
****
On an beach far away from Pearl Cove, sitting in the sand was one Eddie Morrison, allowing him to be splashed in his face with the water, smiling as the cool winds came in. Ever since the immortal demon Dragonis fell at the hands of himself as the SRS Rangers, he was forced by Dr. Connor into taking some time for himself and enjoy life after spending so much time hunting the demon down. From what he was able to gather, the white gem that originally belonged to Drake Richmond was now essentially absorbed into his morpher created by Dragonis, allowing him to essentially keep his powers but hopefully, he would need to use that morpher again any time soon.
When the need for a cool drink became paramount, he walked over to a convenience bar, ordering a non-alcoholic fruit beverage. Eddie took a seat, waiting for the drink to be prepared. He looked up at the television and there was news of a monster attack in Pearl Cove that was thwarted by the Power Rangers. The news did not have images available at that time but one news anchor made mention of a Red Ranger with a lion motif. Eddie smiled, believing that the Red Ranger he was referring to was Aaron of team SRS along with his team. He pulled out his phone and dialed up his friend to offer his gratitude.
"Hello. Aaron?"
"Hey! What's up, Eddie!?" Aaron exclaimed. The joy in his voice was evident to hear from a fellow Ranger, especially after everything that went down. "How are things in the states?"
"Things are good. I can't complain." Eddie said in response. "Listen, I know things are probably pretty hectic with every happening with Proto and there being two of you but I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you for your help in Pearl Cove."
"Pearl Cove? That small city not far from where you used to be? I haven't been there in years so I'm not sure what I did out there!" Aaron laughed.
"Are you sure? The news is talking about a group of Rangers saving the city and they made mention of one with a red lion motif."
"I'd think I know if I traveled cross country. Unless.... never mind. We've been in the village all day. And I doubt it was Kai given how anal Koenma can be over helping others when it doesn't impact himself directly."
Eddie pondered all of this for a moment and his expression visibly changed because if it wasn't any of the other teams, he knew that it could only be one other option but he had to be sure. "Makes sense. Thanks man. I appreciate you talking it out with me and tell the others I said hello."
"No worries, man." Aaron responded. "Will do. I'll talk to you later." Aaron ended the call with Eddie, hoping that things were okay. "He says hello." He said, going back to addressing his comrades.
Eddie ended the call and grabbed his drink, paid for the beverage and walked away. Once he was alone again, he reached into his pocket, grabbing his morpher which began to glow. It was at that point that his worst suspicions were confirmed. "Oh no... not again."

"Sounds good to me. A good pasta never fails. Or pizza for that matter." Duncan stated as he nodded his head in agreement with Pilar.

"Pizza you say? I'm in! New York-style has always been my favorite," Jafaar spoke with a smile.

"No, no no no no. Cheesy stuffed crust, triple pepperoni, three kinds of cheese, most of the good toppings....I lived on that mess in college," Jayden grinned. "Thank God I played enough football, otherwise I would not look like this!' He looked at the others and grinned. "But yeah, that sounds amazing. I haven't had good pasta in a long time."

Pilar chuckles lightheartedly at the minor squabble over pizza preference.
"Good. I'm glad that you kids are all in. It would have been a pain in the ass to pick five new people." Dr. Connor finished his work, successfully syncing their morphers to the network, causing each morpher to beep twice. He spun around, looking at the team and his expression visibly changed because their unfiltered determination reminded them so much of the other group and it excited yet scared him at the same time.
"Okay. You're all set. You kids have fun. I'll see you all later. I've still got work to do on analyzing your new powers and trying to figure out more about who the hell we're dealing with."
Pilar is so caught up with dining suggestions that she almost forgot to hear Dr. Connor. "Of course, Doctor Connor. We'll see you later."

"Man, yall can all kiss it. One large supreme, with pineapple, extra cheese, with cheese crust." Duncan said as he shook his head at the other peoples choice of toppings and crusts.

"Seriously? Is that the best you can do, Duncan?" Jafaar teased calmly.

"Hey, I never said nothing's wrong with pineapple on a pizza," Jayden said, looking at Duncan. "I love a good Hawaiian. Add some barbecue chicken and goddamn do you have my favorite." He snickered and grinned, looking at Doctor Connor. He rubbed his head softly, smiling bit. "Sorry, Doctor Connor. Thank you for all of this. We'll go and leave you to what you need to do. C'mon, guys. Let's go see what we can all agree on for a pizza, huh?"

"Yes, thank you for actually bringing us together," Jafaar spoke to Dr. Connor before turning to Jayden. "Yeah, I'm already famished."

"You're very welcome. Just don't make me regret it!" Although Dr. Connor sounded as if he was joking, he was very serious because he knew that he was playing with fire by getting back into the hero game under similar circumstances as his initial run. The Rangers soon left the Bunker and made their way to Roni's Diner where the furious debate raged on regarding the superior style of pizza. This new group of heroes seemed to get along with one another well enough and their excitement towards this new adventure bodes well in terms of effort but only time will tell how these new Rangers handle the true adversity that is bound to come at the hands of Zaron who won't sit idly by and watch as these new warriors tear down what he has spent years trying to build.
******
A few weeks have passed since the initial attack on Pearl Cove by the Z-Golems. During that time, there were a few Z-Golem attacks throughout the city but nothing major as of yet. In all actuality, it gave the Rangers the opportunity to get more comfortable with their new abilities and with working together with one another. Unfortunately, comfort also breeds complacency and a hint of arrogance as they felt more and more confident that they could handle whatever Zaron throws at them yet they have no idea as to what horrors are coming their way.
During this time, Dr. Connor spent most of his time in the Bunker, gathering data on Zaron and analyzing the new weapons and abilities of the Rangers, seeking new ways to combat this menace. Currently on his screen, he was looking at all five weapons. He saw that unlike the previous set of weapons, these did not have any blasting potential but did notice something else but needed time to confirm it before revealing it to the Rangers.
