"Tori!" Conner was still yelling, thanks to loud explosions -- you never noticed how loud they were with a helmet and a Megazord between you and the sound, funny enough, and now he was kind of wondering how anyone in Reefside had hearing left. "How's it going?"

"What's goin' on, Tori?" And now there was a fire truck racing to the scene -- he'd never noticed that detail from the Megazord cockpit because emergency responders somehow always conveniently stayed out of giant stompy foot range -- with its sirens blaring. "I'm in Briarwood!"

"One of the girls who nearly ran me over before she got eaten by the tree?" Conner shrugged. "Dude I ran into had my shirt and jacket."

"Please. I am way prettier than that guy," Conner said scornfully. "One twin is enough for me, thanks. And no, they didn't look anything like us although they did seem to fit the general archetypal personality traits and prettiness factor that we all do."

"No doubles here," Conner assured her. "So far . . . wow, did we always leave the city this much of a mess when we had a Zord fight?"

"I swear, it never looked this bad from the Zords," Conner remarked. "No wonder property insurance in Reefside was so high."
