\u201cDoctor, what\u2019s this Celestial Toymaker?\u201d asked Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBad news, VERY bad news!\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cHe\u2026SHE is a godlike being that embodies one of the very fundamental forces of the universe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cChaos? Like the Black Guardian?\u201d asked Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, worse than ANY Guardian,\u201d corrected the Doctor. \u201cTherein lies the problem for most people. The universe isn\u2019t binary, far from it. There IS order, there IS chaos, but there\u2019s also play.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd the Celestial Toymaker\u2019s origins are shrouded,\u201d remarked Banza. \u201cEven us Time Lords can\u2019t make sense of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEither way, why would the Toymaker reduce New Earth to this hellscape?\u201d mused the Doctor. \u201cShe seeks to turn entire universes into part of her playroom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere were quite a few Power Rangers<\/em> toys back then, Doctor. And their original Super Sentai<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes, but this makes for a rather ill playset,\u201d remarked the Doctor. \u201c\u2026Unless this has something to do with the Universal Morphing Grid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe what?\u201d asked Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s a multi-dimensional energy source us Rangers access,\u201d explained Tanya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBy establishing a link to it,\u201d said Poppy, \u201cour cellular makeup is uploaded to the Grid, allowing us the knowledge and powers that come with it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat\u2019s where the Morphers come in,\u201d continued Albert as he showed his off. At that moment, an alarm sounded. Banza checked the systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cStookie attack!\u201d he said. \u201cRanger Team 2 is under heavy fire! Tanya-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019re on our way!\u201d replied Tanya. \u201cTeam, it\u2019s Morphing Time!\u201d She and her team pulled out their keys, inserted them into the Morphers, turned the keys in a way so that they went into the Morphers, then holographic dragons appeared and chomped down on them. The holograms disappeared as the Rangers gained their suits. The Rangers then hopped on their motorcycles. The Doctor and Amy were about to hop on, but Banza grabbed their arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026I would advise you, General,\u201d hissed the Doctor, \u201cto let go of us immediately!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Rangers can handle the Stookies,\u201d replied Banza, \u201cbut they\u2019re out of their depth like me when it comes to the Toymaker. You, however, triumphed over her twice, from what I overheard while she ranted. I need a strategy in taking her down permanently, Doctor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cShe also triumphed over me once out of the three games we played,\u201d said the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTwo out of three is good enough right now. Please, Doctor. We need a big win against her, not a series of small victories. Morale is bad enough as it is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s the small victories that lead to the big ones!\u201d reminded the Doctor. \u201cWe didn\u2019t exactly get them during the Time War, so any victory here is a victory nonetheless!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDoctor, Banza, I\u2019m guessing you don\u2019t see eye to eye,\u201d remarked Amy, \u201cbut maybe you two could pull together and-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMISS ROSE, THAT\u2019S IT!\u201d yelped Banza suddenly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGeneral?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDoctor, the technology is based on retina-scan much like on Gallifrey,\u201d explained Banza. \u201cThe Toymaker has been trying to capture the Rangers so-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOf course!\u201d realized the Doctor. \u201cA little game of keep-away! Amy, you\u2019re a genius! Where\u2019s the operations center?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis way! Come on, you two!\u201d Amy followed the two Time Lords, confused as to why she was being praised for being smart\u2026not that she didn\u2019t appreciate the praise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over in another part of New New York, a cottage stood in the woods. Inside the cottage was a woman in a blue dress with turquoise hair. She looked out the window with a smirk that was rather unlike the warm smile associated with her in the original Pinocchio. <\/em>Accompanying her was a truly wicked looking witch in brown robes, a collar, and her hair was pulled into two large horns. \u201cThe Rangers are playing with the Stookies again,\u201d purred the woman with the turquoise hair, the Toymaker, as she looked through a telescope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat kind of toy are you planning on having them fight?\u201d asked the witch in a high-pitched, gravelly voice, the infamous Rita Repulsa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m not sure,\u201d mused the Toymaker. \u201cMaybe the Ballerina? The Robot? So hard to choose. Aw, look at that! The Rangers are getting a call! Some good ol\u2019 words of wisdom from their mentor! Perhaps\u2026what?\u201d The Toymaker blinked, rubbed her eyes, then looked through the telescope again. \u201c\u2026They\u2019re all retreating.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat?!\u201d asked Rita. She pushed the Toymaker aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cUm, RUDE!\u201d protested the Toymaker. Rita didn\u2019t listen. She looked through the telescope and saw all the Rangers retreating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026We didn\u2019t even send a monster out to stop them!\u201d snarled Rita. \u201cWhat\u2019s going on?!\u201d A radio then crackled to life. The Toymaker picked up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cReport,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy Lady, we\u2019ve discovered a Time Lord\u2019s presence,\u201d reported the Stookie on the other end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026We know the Rangers\u2019 mentor figure is Banza, thank you,\u201d remarked the Toymaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNot that one, another one,\u201d corrected the Stookie. \u201cTheir TARDIS must have a malfunctioning chameleon circuit. It\u2019s in the shape of a London Police Box.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWHAT?!\u201d shouted the Toymaker. \u201cTHE DOCTOR?! HERE?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat\u2019s what we believe,\u201d replied the Stookie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSEND OUT ALL STOOKIES! STORM THE RANGERS\u2019 HEADQUARTERS! WE CANNOT LET THE DOCTOR INTERFERE!\u201d She ended the call. \u201cDoctor!\u201d she snarled with venom practically dripping from her words. \u201cFor you, no more games! I\u2019ll take control of the Universal Morphing Grid and make the entire multiverse my playground!\u201d In the background, Rita smirked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amy followed the Doctor and Banza to the Operations Center, confused as to what\u2019s going on. Banza\u2019s robot, Maiden, arrived as well. \u201cGeneral, the Rangers have re\u2026\u201d she stopped when she saw Amy. \u201c\u2026General, I appreciate that these are desperate times, but civilians cannot be allowed in-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYour fears are misplaced, Maiden,\u201d replied Banza. \u201cBecause what the Doctor and I need to do requires Miss Rose here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGeneral!\u201d called Tanya\u2019s voice. She and Albert arrived. \u201cGeneral, you wanted to see us?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDoctor, the floor is yours,\u201d said Banza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMuch appreciated,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cNow, Tanya, Albert, all the technology is based on retina-scan, yes?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Yes, even our Morphers,\u201d said Tanya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, given the Toymaker\u2019s goals, we have to lock her out, yes?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019re not children, Doctor!\u201d hissed Albert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCompared to me, even Banza\u2019s a kid,\u201d remarked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI beg your-! Oh, nevermind,\u201d muttered Banza. \u201cBut do think about it. Everyone in the New New York Senate Building, enjoying safety and security that could be sought here on this planet\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd one\u2026solitary\u2026Mobian,\u201d finished the Doctor. Albert\u2019s eyes goggled as he realized what they were talking about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\u2019re turning Miss Rose\u2019s eyes into a master key?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cExactly! Then we\u2019re wiping all the records so the Toymaker doesn\u2019t get the clever idea of taking one of your eyes to use your Morphers. She\u2019ll be locked out of the Morphing Grid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo would they!\u201d protested Amy. \u201cDoctor, General, the Rangers would be out of bounds to their own equipment if my eyes were the only eyes to activate things!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m aware it\u2019s a bit extreme,\u201d replied the Doctor, \u201cbut if you have a better idea, I\u2019d like to hear it.\u201d No idea was forthcoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026She\u2019ll have to be ready to initialize the Zords,\u201d remarked Tanya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTanya!\u201d protested Albert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s the best we have!\u201d replied Tanya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd Doctor, if she falls-,\u201d said Banza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cShe won\u2019t!\u201d insisted the Doctor. \u201cI won\u2019t let her. \u2026But, on the safe side, I\u2019ll have a copy of the retina print. Amy, are you ready?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026As I\u2019ll ever be,\u201d muttered Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cInitializing retina scan,\u201d reported Banza. \u201cMiss Rose, look into the scanner, please.\u201d Amy looked into the scanner and a bright flashed in her eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYOW! BRIGHT!\u201d yelped Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019ll clear,\u201d assured Tanya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWiping all the records,\u201d said the Doctor. \u201cAmy\u2019s the only one who can activate the Ranger System now.\u201d Just then, Maiden gasped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cStookie attack!\u201d she yelped. \u201cAnd the Toymaker\u2019s in the group!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m going out there to meet her!\u201d declared the Doctor as she ran out of the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDoctor, wait!\u201d protested Banza. \u201cAnd she just runs off. Just like when she was that grizzled old man during the Time War. Miss Rose, stay here for a bit. Switch on the Ranger System when it\u2019s safe.\u201d Banza ran after the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Albert, stay here with Amy until the fight,\u201d ordered Tanya. \u201cI have a crazy idea.\u201d She then ran off after the two Time Lords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Typical,\u201d grumbled Albert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTime Lords,\u201d muttered Amy. Albert nodded in agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Stookies were ready to assault the Senate Building. \u201cTime to deconstruct this Lego set!\u201d chuckled the Toymaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLovely building toys, Legos!\u201d called the Doctor as she approached. \u201cTerrible for a bare foot though. I should know. Part of my doctorate involves Legos!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDoctor!\u201d snarled the Toymaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn the flesh,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cWanted more action figures for your collection? Well, if you don\u2019t mind a little-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo! No games! Not from you!\u201d The Doctor was taken aback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo games? That\u2019s a little out of character for you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhenever you\u2019re the opponent, I always lose!\u201d replied the Toymaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCome on, you beat me before,\u201d reminded the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThen you beat me again! You with that bi-generation trick of yours! Two out of three games, I lost against you! That makes for bad odds! I\u2019m taking care of you here and now!\u201d She aimed a wooden unicorn head on a stick and threw it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNO!\u201d called Banza as he dove to intercept. The instant the horn made contact, Banza shrunk down into action figures of all 13 of his incarnations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cDoctor, what\u2019s this Celestial Toymaker?\u201d asked Amy. \u201cBad news, VERY bad news!\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cHe\u2026SHE is a godlike being that embodies one of the very fundamental forces of the universe.\u201d \u201cChaos?
