Falken: No, no...Mach 1 is the speed of sound...
Wren: Yeah...
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Sorry, had to cook dinner.
Ryan: Yeah, I do. (he gives Rei the arrow)
Catherine: Hello. Yes, I do admit that this is a large group, but...anyway, these are my Lightspeed Rangers, Chad, Joel, Kelsey, Dana, and Ryan. (after gesturing to them, she points to the oddly calm Kotohime) And this is my girlfriend, Kotohime.
(everyone says their "hello"s)
Alyx: ...well. I guess this is it...(he steps in the middle of the circle)
Catherine: Yeah. Rangers, stand at the areas of the circle. What you're about to see may also affect you guys far more than what was witnessed last time, and also gain a better understanding of what Alyx and his Ranger team had to suffer for.
All Other Lightspeed Rangers: Right! (they do)
Adult!Rika: We'll wait here, so that way nothing happens to all of you.

Falken: ...Well, that's only when I'm goofin' off. If I go all out...uh...it's pretty fast.
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.-Tommy and Kelsey enter the circle as well, and stand next to Alyx.-
Spirit Seeker: Right then! Rei, take us back in time...to that crucial moment!
-Everything turns white as the Rangers are taken back in time through Alyx' memories.-
-A vision fades into view of Joel and Alyx sitting in the ruins of an old and abandoned marble building. They look battered and bruised from a recent fight, and Joel has a wound in his side.-
Past!Alyx: We did it...we managed to escape.
Joel: But the others...where did they go?
Past!Alyx: We'll catch up with them later, once we find out where we are. Once we've stopped your bleeding, we're searching for them.
Joel: Yeah...but damn, they really gave us a beating, didn't they? Ambushed us, disabled our Morphers, sent us to that weird place...and then they beat us all up and sent us away!
Past!Alyx: That power that they use...it's not normal.
Joel: And they're freakishly huge.
Past!Alyx: Yeah...I don't like this...
Join us in our quest to play all RPG video games! Moving on to disc 2 of Grandia!Catherine: ...
Dana: I wonder how they managed to get separated...
A!Joel: I think we're about to find out! (to Catherine) Are you okay?
Catherine: Yeah...I'll be fine. (she nods) We'll need to follow them...
Ryan: Right. And from what it sounds like...whoever Alyx is facing isn't like our demons...
Falken: ...About Mach 9 or so. If I use my brain and all of my power? ...Probably light-speed.
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Imca : *walks down stairs and notices bones* Hey bones!
Falken: As in, 9 times the speed of sound. That's basically a whole six times more faster than I fly normally.
Wren: -sweatdrop- ...Looks like I'm making dinner after all...
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.-Rei's voice speaks to the Rangers.-
Tommy: But why didn't we skip straight to the earliest part?
Rei: I apologize, but there is some strong magical residue in the arrow that is making it hard for me to jump all the way back. We are going to have to do these kinds of "jumps" a couple of times until we reach the memory we're looking for.
Kelsey: Well, let's get going, then! *doesn't look very comfortable about seeing a vision of two persons who she knows will die a short time after the events of the vision*
Rei: Straight away.
-The vision changes...to the middle of a big fight! All six of the Lightspeed Rangers are fighting against a large group of the Black Soldiers, but none of the Rangers are transformed...-
-They are fighting in a mysterious location; large pillars and standing stones inscribed with runes and magical sigils are everywhere, and an unnatural fog covers the unseen floor. The sky above is pitch darkness, making it all seem like a nightmarish place.-
-At the moment they skip to, Past!Chad is just punched by one of the Soldiers and sent flying.-
Join us in our quest to play all RPG video games! Moving on to disc 2 of Grandia!(Hal and Jeff walk downstairs after Imca.)
Hal: Hey, guys.
Jeff: How's it going?

Falken: Basically, 9 times the speed of sound. Light speed...well, that's the speed of light.
Wren: I'll be right back with dinner...
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Septin: No seriously, what's nine?
a.k.a. Cly, that one girl who doesn't post here much anymore Something something YI = SMW 2 = SMB 5.Catherine: Oh, my God...
A!Dana: T...th...
A!Ryan: That's us! All of us—
(as they all see Past!Chad getting hit...)
A!Chad: ...no.
A!Kelsey: Shouldn't we save him?!
Catherine: No...it's something that happened in the past. We can't change it.
A!Joel: Oh, come on!
Catherine: It's unfortunate...yes...but there's nothing we can do.
Falken: -sweatdrop- ...Seriously? Uh, well...there's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and nine. -counts each number on a finger- See?
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Falken: ...You don't know how to count or somethin'...?
Wren: -returns which a huge platter of roast beef, a large bowl of salad and cheeseburgers for the group- Well, that took a while...
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Past!Chad: Gah! What's up with these guys' monstrous strength?!
Past!Ryan: *rushes over to him* Are you okay?
Past!Chad: Gnngh...I think he broke a couple of my ribs with that punch...
Past!Ryan: Carter! Chad is wounded; he can't fight any more!
-Past!Alyx is back to back with Chad, dodging the attacks of the Soldier with the bow and another one wielding some kind of spiked flail.-
Past!Alyx: Gotcha! Come on, Joel!
Past!Joel: Right behind you!
-The Red and Green Ranger split up, dashing between the pillars to avoid the attacks of their pursuers as they try to make their way back to the others. Meanwhile, Ryan helps Chad back on his feet and they start running away.-
Past!Kelsey: Dana, look out!
-Meanwhile, Dana is under attack by a cloaked Soldier using some kind of chain as a weapon. Kelsey interrupts it, kicking it in the side before running away together with Dana.-
Tommy: How...why aren't they transforming?
Kelsey: Gah...I remember this now...our Morphers were disabled by...something. It happened just before this...
Join us in our quest to play all RPG video games! Moving on to disc 2 of Grandia!Catherine: ...I was going to ask that question, but I do realize that, at times, one can try to fight without powers...having said that...
A!Dana: Happened...before this? How...
Catherine: Well, shit, if we figure out how the morphers are disabled, perhaps we can try to...(her voice falters)
A!Ryan: What's wrong?
Catherine: ...I was going to say "we could try to repair it, as we have the technology", but...Alyx doesn't even have that morpher.
A!Joel: Man! How would he defend himself?
Catherine: He still has us, if needed. And my family. However, we should try to figure out how they're disabled, anyway...so that way, we wouldn't fall in the same trap.

Bones: Yeah.
Marston: Good. Gonna have to go in a few hours.
