(I'm just gonna let Cassandra's action lie in unknown territory for the moment. That was just an intro post to show she'll be there.)
*White and Blue Ranger's House*
The ball's energy field disappeared abruptly. Suddenly, the ball shifted. Six sharp appendages moved out from the ball's core, and the metal thing scuttled off like a bug. It seemed as though it was making a bee line for the nearest television.

Terry was making progress. She'd narrowed down all instances of the Ranger's appearances to an area in southwestern Missouri. "While that's all well and good...but I can't just exactly go over there and expect to find them. What am I supposed to do, go to a random town where they've been and start calling for them? If they're so desperate for help, why didn't they give out more info? For protection?"
Terry sighed at the daunting obstacles in the way of her spontaneous ambition. She was struggling with the way for her to even get to Missouri at all. She couldn't drive, and it would prove difficult to use any method of public transportation to get all the way to Missouri. What's more, both options would require her to leave her CFCS.
It's not like she could just travel the entire distance in her CFCS either...could she? Terry began planning for something more bold than she ever thought she was capable of.

Maybe a day, maybe an hour. She was no good judge of time.
Maybe a day or an hour ago she'd been slouched down, legs propped up on a garbage bag where she'd been camped for maybe ten minutes, maybe three hours. The prey would come to the hunter. That was the way of things.
Creeeak.
A little ways down the alley, Don, the delivery boy, poked his head out of the metal door a little nervously. Slung over his shoulder was that prize bag. And now it would be hers!
She stood quickly and flattened herself against the wall, watching intently, but something over his shoulder caught her eye; the news on a television blasted way too loud inside. Five brightly-clad spandex heroes... Five?
"... the strength of the Dragon Rangers may not be enough. We know there are other people in the world with abilities ..."
"Aha!" She shouted, louder than she meant to. Don bolted, but oh well. Now there was much, much better entertainment. "Ahahahahaa!"
That was maybe a day ago, maybe an hour ago.

*Red Ranger's House*
<So.>
Something like a charred animal skeleton hung from the still slightly-rotating ceiling fan in a room it didn't particularly belong in. Spikes protruded from it's back, it's head was elongated like a horse's and appeared to be eyeless, and it was only perhaps seven inches in length.
True completed another slow circle before she continued, clinging to it by her claws a little awkwardly.
<I hear you ranger guys suck lately. Specifically you. So I came to laugh at you, and maybe beat you up, and then probably laugh some more.> She spun around again slowly. <...Hahaha.>

*Yao and Oay*
A wolf whistle sounded from one of the trees. If the twins looked up, they'd see a silver-haired young man sitting in the branches and leaning against the trunk. "Either such beauty's making me see double or my presence has been blessed with a lovely pair of twins!" He switched about quickly, hanging by his legs from the tree limb so he would be down at their eye level. "Please tell me it's the latter!"
If, as false dragons, they could still sense a draconic entity, they would feel it extremely strong in this clown of an individual.
*Jake*
(Sure.)
*White and Blue Rangers' House*
All Jason could really do was sit and watch as the odd orb made its way across to the television in the corner of his room.
*Terry*
(You can also timelapse past the flight if you wish.)
*True*
The young man in the red jacket looked up at the fan while arching one eyebrow as she spun slowly about. "You're stuck up there, aren't you?" he asked after she finished her teasing.

The Cards landed quietly, and were put into black Limos. They were wheeled to meet in the Pentagon with the Chief of Defense... again... Joker sighed, hating having to deal with him.
Ace was.. unsurprisingly, trying to pick up a military woman riding with them. "Hey babe, why not just give me a chance. A beer, maybe some dinner. I can have it arranged so I will be melting in you arms." There was a small whisper at the end, barely audible. 'Maybe tonight...'
Queen nearly slapped him, but Joker stopped her. "Let her slap him first." She sighed and crossed her arms over her chest, tapping her foot agitatedly.

The ball scuttled up the side of the television, it's sharp legs giving it the grip needed. It climbed to the top corner before stopping. It opened up it's "mouth", sending what seemed to be a small drill out. The drill, obviously enough, drilled into the television a small bit, while the rest of the orb seemed to latch onto it. Eventually the metal ball was just a metal dome with claws pierced into the device. It had at small light in the center that was blinking red. The television turned on and started to fizz and crackle with static. The light changed to yellow and blinked faster. Suddenly, the light went to green, and the screen went black. After a few seconds, the television reactivated, showing the image of a gigantic white bunny rabbit. Or at least, it looked gigantic. Closer inspection showed that it was just a stuffed animal too close to the camera recording the image. The bunny was wearing a white wedding gown with a red bow on its head. A little, mitten covered hand moved the bunny over while another brought a black teddy bear onto the scene. The petite hand shifted the bear's head, as if trying to give the illusion that the toy was "talking".
"Hello, Mrs. Eggy Puff. How are you today?" An adorable little girl said, trying her hardest to mimic the big, deep voice she probably assumed the teddy bear had.
"I'm good, Teddy. It's such a pretty day. Would you like to have a tea party with me?" 'Mrs. Eggy Puff' answered in a sugary voice that obviously required less effort.

(Alright, thanks Nin) Before Terry could act on her wild whims she had a problem. Terry had people. These people paid for her to do research on her combat suit. These people expected results. Luckily for her, it was only a private company that funded her, and not the military. So, she was hoping that these people wouldn't know what to do when she simply disappeared.
She began wiping her computers and and emptying her files. She had all the rest of the information she needed in her mind, she didn't plan for any replicas to be made for her combat suit. If it needed any tweaking, it was nothing she couldn't handle. She wasn't used to this erratic behavior, but she handled the paranoia better than she would have expected of herself. She even gave a quirky little yip to herself as she thought about what she was in the middle of enacting.
After gathering everything she needed in a large black cargo box, she began equipping her suit. It would be a few days trip to get to Missouri, so she had packed a few meals in the cargo box too. It was a little difficult putting on the suit by herself, but she'd done it before. She put on the helmet after everything had been connected properly and the HUD popped on. "What have you gotten yourself into..."

Jason just continued to stare at the screen in confusion. "What the heck is this? Somebody's idea of some sort of prank?"

Suddenly, a much more familiar voice spoke up. While her tone indicated that she was talking loudly, she wasn't loud at all. She must've been pretty far from the room the camera was in.
"Violet, sweetie, what are you doing in Mommy's room?"
The teddy bear and the bunny were knocked over, revealing the hem of a dress. The dress's owner moved back, revealing a familiar little cat girl. She was smiling from ear to ear and her tail was swishing happily. "I'm playing with your stuffed animals, Mommy!" She called.

*Cards*
[With permission by Ninmast to time lapse, I am doing so.]
Joker breathed a sigh of relief. "I hate that greased up oil monkey with a bad toupe..." He grumbled to himself.
Jack lit a cigarette and helped Ace, who received a third blow to the nether regions for flirting. He laughed and collected his fifty bucks from Joker, and another fifty from Queen.
Queen looked back at him once, then opened the door to the Limo, and sent a call to the grunts and captains to go back to base and wait.
Joker got in and set the driver to take them to southwest Missouri.

*Jason*
"Oh," the ranger concluded, leaning on his fist. "It's Karen's webcam ... What the heck is it doing broadcasting to my TV?"
*Joker and Company*
As they were passing through one particular town, a large, blue, bipedal creature resembling a cross between an alligator and a crocodile stumbled onto the road. "Stupid errands," he was grumbling. "Why'd Morphy have to send me out? I mean, yeah, I ate 'em all, but he knows I'm no good at counting money ... Huh?" He turned his head toward the car in surprise as it came up at him.

*Cards*
The driver skid and the limo turned sideways. Queen was already out from the sunroof with her gun aimed at the center of his head. King was on the backside of the limo with his RPG, and Joker had both of his pistols at the thing. Ace was juggling grenades, ready to pull pins and toss if needed.
"Queen.. Was that in the briefing?" Ace asked, a little jittery now he got to play with things that went boom.
Jack laughed, at Joker's 10, aiming at the creature.
King spat the butt of his cigarette out and waited.
Queen relaxed an inch remembering if it was or not.

*Joker and Company*
"A briefing?" the creature asked, seemingly ignoring all of the explosives and guns. "What's that, you lose your underwear?"
*Yao and Oay*
The young man did, indeed, hop down, landing nimbly in front of them. "Why would you two pretty things be looking for them?"

Yao said, "either tell us or...." "....get out of our way so we can go." Oay finished and the heat around them gathered, knowing they could not fight him, but only hoping to prove their point that they were not thrilled with being held up
