As T.j rushed outside he decided it would be smart to be ready for ranged and melee combat. Knowing that his morpher could handle the shooting, he once again switched the multi-part weapon he suspected all the Multiverse Rangers had into Claw-mode. As soon as he was outside one of the stronger footsoldiers spotted and chard at him. Since the monster was still a few feet away he fired a few quick shots at it, before preparing the Scutum globe in case he needed the forcefield. The footsoldier meanwhile ignored the painful but otherwise harmless laserbeam that hit him in the chest and kept charging, its club ready to hit it's enemy as soon as it got in range. [hr] The Blue Ranger forming the Claw-weapon was the first time Mike saw the Multiverse Ranger's individual weapons. While he agreed they would be useful, he knew better than to waste time with figuring out how to assemble the pieces into something useful though if he knew about the hud it would have been a different story. Seeing his partner take on one of the upgraded footsoldiers, he decided to stick close in case T.J needed help. Unfortunately for him three of the regular footsoldiers, one of each color, swarmed him. He managed to dodge a sword strike form the gray one, only to be hit from both sides by the other two.
