"Annnnnnnd that's why you should talk less and listen more, Bro." Joey chuckled. "The press conference is over. We're going to grab breakfast burritos." Joey opened the door to the Delta Cruiser and slid in the driver's seat.

"I was under the impression that you and Flynn were getting burritos I didn't know it was an invitation for all of us" Teeanna said with a smile as she climbed into the backseat of the Delta cruiser "Count me in!" She said excitedly Ken rolled his eyes "I suppose there are worse ways to build our trust in each other than a shared meal so I guess I'll come along too" Ken said as he tried to climb into the back seat next to Teeanna she slid down further leaving a space between them for Jaguar "Better luck next time your royal arrogance" Teeanna said with a smirk

"You're right. It's not like we haven't literally been training together and been around each other for the last six months, Bro." Joey shrugged his shoulders, allowing a hint of sarcasm to creep into his voice.
"Go ahead and get going and make sure to bring me back some food." Amy said to the Red Ranger.
"I know, Bae. I got you covered."
"You better." Amy leaned in, giving Joey a quick kiss as he started the cruiser back up. "Love you."
"Love you too." Joey said before the team finished piling into the cruiser and taking off for some much needed nourishment.

About 15 minutes passed and the Rangers arrived at local restaurant. The drive was quite an eventful one as they were honked at and treated like celebrities with the way that people were taking pictures. Once they parked, Joey jumped out of the driver's seat and noticed that the line was getting a bit long. "Welp.. this is gonna be fun." Joey laughed sheepishly as he saw the crowd inside before they even went inside.

Flynn looked at the crowd and he chuckled. "Man, this really brings back the memories of the Tekken tournament. That was four days of hell on Earth and three hundred contestants and it wasn't nearly this crowd heavy," he said with a grin. "Let's go meet the now adoring public, huh?"

"Let's try not to get mobbed like those K-Pop stars," Jaguar exclaimed as he hopped out of the Jeep, his stomach already growling.

More like Incredible I was made for this" Ken said with his usual cocky grin Teeanna meanwhile was taking a few steadying breathes trying to remember Flynn's advice "Don't say anything stupid and don't let the cameras and flashing lights get to you" she whispered to herself trying to keep her anxiety at bay "You all right there princess? Ken asked "I don't really like crowds or being in the limelight" she admitted to the Blue Ranger "Do you want to wait in the cruiser? I can bring you back something to eat" Ken said smiling his usual smug smile but trying to show concern for his pink comrade "I'll be fine but thanks anyway you royal arrogance" she said with a smile

While the Rangers were about to experience their first taste of fame, the forces were evil were making moves of their own. The leader of the DRAGO Organization, Lord Drago was sitting at his desk, reviewing the footage from the battle against the Vexers sent down by Prometheus. "So now we have some new players in the game. Well I'll be damned!" Lord Drago leaned back in his chair, still analyzing these creatures. "Lord Drago!" One of Drago's underlings stepped into his office/throne room/personal man cave. "Well let's hope you have some good news." Lord Drago stared into the soul of the spy, kicking his feet up on his desk. "From the intel that's been gathered, it appears as though those creatures who emerged on Synchro City are indeed aliens." "Aliens? Are you sure? Are you reaaaallllllly sure?" "Yes my Lord. The aliens aren't consistent with the designs from any known force whether it be Dr. Vance's experiments, Demons from Demon World or monsters from Queen Beryl." "Interesting." Lord Drago rubbed his chin, processing the information. "This is a problem. I don't have any ties to these aliens or this Prometheus and I cannot have alien scum taking over my planet. The problem is who do I choose to handle this little problem." Lord Drago was thinking out loud. "I could send for my old friend in Konoha but it would take too long to find them and extract them since they're in hiding after those ninjas dismantled the Shinsei Toukai. Yomi would handle this but he would be a problem when he eventually tries to double cross me and Zaron is busy with the kids in Pearl Cove. Hmmmmmm... what to do..." "The answer is simple." Another man walked into the room, quickly looking at the underling, greeting him as he walked past before sitting at Lord Drago's desk. "You speak of all of these individuals and while they are mighty and terrifying in their own right, none of them possess my qualifications." "You do make a good point, my Valentine." "These Rangers have prepared to contend with a grotesque alien but they have no answer for an immortal with my skills. And with all due respect, had I been assigned to contend with the Aura Strikers, they would have been eradicated months ago and their crystals would be yours." Lord Drago listened to Valentine's pitch before eventually sitting up. "Okay. You've swayed me enough. Kill those Rangers and bring down those aliens. If the aliens submit, you may bring them to me. If they don't, send them back to their planet in pieces." **** "I'm sure it'll be fine, guys. The people in here are trying to eat too." Joey was sounding optimistic, mostly to help put Teeanna's mind at ease. He opened the door to the restaurant with the team going inside, waiting to be seated. While they were waiting for someone to seat them, there were dozens of eyes focused on the color coded agents coupled with murmurs and the sounds of phones clicking.

Flynn put his hand on Teeanna's shoulder as they walked in, giving the Pink Ranger a gentle smile. "You'll be fine. You'll get used to this," he said. "I promise. I'm an old pro at this limelight crap, and it'll get easier. Soon you won't even know they're all staring at you. Just pray that the next big thing comes around and that'll help take the focus off you."

"The fame is good but we gotta be careful. As I said before, there's gonna be some crazy fans coming for our necks," Jaguar spoke as he looked at the citizens looking at them in excitement as they took many pictures.

Teeanna smiled as she felt the Green Ranger's hand on her shoulder "I just hope the next big thing comes sooner rather than later unlike some people I don't really enjoy this" she said giving the people taking pictures the occasional polite wave Ken meanwhile was soaking it all up posing and preening for the cameras and even taking pictures with the occasional fan that came up to them "Yes yes I know we're awesome please don't shove you can all take pictures as much as you want or feel free to come up for an autograph from the awesome Blue Ranger" Ken said as he waited for them to be seated "The overrated Blue Ranger is more like it" Teeanna whispered to Flynn giggling

"Since you guys are in line, how do you guys think you're going to protect us?" A young woman spoke up, shouting from across. "What's to say that y'all won't end up like those other guys in Zen City, especially when only one of you have had real life experience with combat!? Thank you for your service by the way."
"Hey, it's not that simple." Joey motioned for the others to hold his place in line. He walked over to the young woman and sat at her table. "My friends had training for months and we've been training together as a unit, working with the best our country has to offer to make sure you're safe. The fight the other day was just a start but we'll get better."
"Is that right?" She rose an eyebrow, still not fully sold on that response. "Is that going to stop the loud one from showboating and almost killing innocent people." She pointed at Ken, not bothering to hide.
"Like I said, we'll get better and that starts with me." He knew that he wasn't big on the public spectacles and didn't have the experience dealing with larger crowds like Flynn so he opted to make it his own and be more personable, sitting down and addressing the naysayer directly, all remaining as calm as when the team walked in the door for breakfast.

"Seems that we're gonna be getting some haters along the way as well," Jaguar muttered to himself.

Ken stopped posing and preening for the cameras when a lady pointed an accusatory finger at him and brought up how he almost shot a civilian in their first battle he was about to speak up when Teeanna placed her hand on his shoulder and brought her finger to her lips signaling him to stay quiet then she spoke "Madam I can assure you the safety of everyone in Synchro City is our utmost priority it was a misfire it could have happened with any of us my blue colleague here recognizes the severity of his mistake and will strive to be better isn't that right Ken?" Teeanna asked the Blue Ranger "yes ma'am you and the rest of Synchro city can rest assured I won't let my ego get in the way of my Ranger duties again after all a king is nothing without his subjects and it is my sworn duty and honor to protect you all" Ken said firmly

Flynn rolled his eyes lightly. "And trust me, y'all, you learn to ignore the "king" comments. He's got it in his head that he's destined to rule the world as it's king because his mama told him that lie growing up. Just ignore him and you'll be fine," he said, folding his arms.
