(This is the personal log for Bryan Stone, leader of Cyberspace Task Force GammaRanger. Entry for April 2, 1998:
As the Rangers were getting defeated to Namrock's Beta Blade monster, the teenagers are introduced by Lt. Katsuhiro Koike to a new weapon: The MD Station. Unfortunately, they received a stowaway in the form of local newscaster Annie Stewart. Trapped in Station mode, the Rangers were helpless before another BetaMon, known as Beta Robo, until Bryan and Scottie were able to find the code that activated the giant warrior MegaDriver. MegaDriver defeated the combined form of Beta RoBlade and Annie was returned to Earth with no memory of what happened.)

(Early in the morning, the Rangers, two of them being half asleep, meet at school for breakfast. There is something amiss, though.)
SCOTTIE: Did anyone see Bryan this morning?
AMY: Why you ask?
SCOTTIE: Well, when I went to bring him breakfast, he wasn't there.
LAURA: Wasn't where?
SCOTTIE: In my attic. My dad would break his leg up my butt if he found him in living there.
ERIC: Hmm... Strange. What would he want out in the open? He thinks all of our inventions are primitive.
SCOTTIE: Well maybe you can explain that my car is missing.
(On the interstate out of town, Bryan activates his laptop to access the MD Station from Cyberspace. The massive ship appears about the golden field. On Bryan's command, he is launched aboard the ship. When he lands, he begins to survey the Station. His quest leads him to a corridor, and what seems to be a dead end.)
BRYAN: Upload Automap. (His automap appears in his Cyber Loader.) (To himself) According to this, there should be a gateway here, but...
(Meanwhile outside, something looming in the darkness approaches Scottie's car and Bryan's laptop. He shuts it off. On board the Station, the Automap shuts off and so does the main power.)
BRYAN: What happened? (To himself) This can be... I'm.... in Cyberspace?! (On the ground)
MYSTERIOUS VOICE: heh heh heh...
(Onboard Satellte Namrock, the evil band of viruses watch their plan unfold.)
CHOUZO: I tell you, Rhexus. That new Betamon you created is something else.
RHEXUS: I'd like to think so. Beta Morphic can transmutate into anyone or anything.
GALEVAN: But what of Beta Morphic now?
RHEXUS: Are you deaf as well as deft? I sent him on... a mission.
CHOUZO: What kind of mission?
NAMROCK: (from the shadows) A mousetrapping mission. (continues looming) And it looks like we caught something. (Brings up screen) Namely one Bryan Stone.
BRYAN: (On screen) There's got to be a way out of here.
NAMROCK: Now for phase two. Beta Morphic, are you ready?
BETA MORPHIC: (on screen) As always, my lord.
(A few hours later, the Rangers are having lunch outside of school, when suddenly...)
BRYAN: Why didn't you guys wait up for me?
GROUP: (An assortment of 'Hey Bryan's and 'What happened's)
BRYAN: Whoa whoa whoa! Hold it for a second.
SCOTTIE: Well after you didn't show up at breakfast, we got a little worried. I sent you an E-mail via the Cyber Loaders...
BRYAN: (Stunned) E-mail?!.. (calmer) E-mail... Well the important thing is that I'm here, right?
ERIC: Well, I guess so. (Chomps a hamburger while looking at the time. Then finished burger with a hard gulp.) C'mon guys, we only have five minutes to get to class.
LAURA: Really? We gotta move, Bryan... You wanna ride with us?
BRYAN: Why not...
(The five head out to the parking lot, unaware that they are being watched.)
GALEVAN: (through a DWC™) Phase two is set, CHouzo. Now dispatch the Balzac!
CHOUZO: At once, Galevan.
(From out of the sky, a beam shoots the parking lot. And from out of the parking lot, comes six puddles of a gel-like ooze. They quickly form the Balzac.)
AMY: Just perfect. Now we're gonna be late!
SCOTTIE: Don't say that just yet. (Acts like he's calling for his Cyber Loader) Ranger fi...
BRYAN: Wait! (stops Scottie)
SCOTTIE: (Getting ethnic) Hey man, wussup wit'you?!
BRYAN: I really think we should take care of things before we use our powers.
AMY: Hmmm... He does have a point.
LAURA: Yeah, now let's take that point and roll with it, or we're going to be late!
(The team fought the Balzac as if they were GammaRangers.)
ERIC: Why would they just attack atrandom like this? (trips a Balzac)
LAURA: I don't know! (does a one-two combo)
(The battle continues like tat for four minutes. Suddenly, the Balzac disappear.)
Oh man! We're...
AMY, ERIC, and SCOTTIE: We know... (in a repetitive tone) "We're going to be late..."
BRYAN: No we're not. Just get in the car.
(The teens pile into Amy's car.)
Drive, Amy.
(Amy drives as usual, but this time, the car seems to be going at the speed of sound. They enter class before the bell rings.)
SCOTTIE: You were saying, Laura?
LAURA: Quiet you. (smirks)
(The teens take their seats as they are about to begin a test. Midway into the test, Scottie's Cyber Loader goes off. He pulls it out of his bag and reads the message left in his mailbox. It reads:
To: blueneptune@gammaproject.net
Date: Fri Apr 3, 1998 07:26:23
From: redjupe@gammaproject.net
Subj: Help!
I'm aboard the Station in Cyberspace. Activate MD Station.
BS
SCOTTIE: If Brian's at the Station...
(After class, the gang met on the outside courtyard of Tradewinds High.)
LAURA: So Bryan's on the Station?
ERIC: But we were talking to him at lunch.
AMY: Well he was acting weird with my car.
ERIC: That's why he told us not to transform.
SCOTTIE: Well we better be prepared for anything.
BRYAN: (driving up with Amy's car) Hey guys.
ERIC: Hey Bry... Listen, I wanna thank you for what you did today (slaps Bryan on the back) You're a pal...
BRYAN: (looking sick) I gotta go. (rushes to a bathroom, where he looks into a mirror and sees Beta Morphic's face.)
(At Satellite Namrock)
NAMROCK: Curses! Rhexus, you never told me that Betamon had a weakness!
RHEXUS: I, uh, never knew myself?
NAMROCK: GET DOWN THERE AND HELP HIM!
RHEXUS: Y-y-yes, Lord.
(Meanwhile, On the Station, Bryan stumbles into an invisible door. The door leads to a hidden corridor.. And...)
BRYAN: The five GammaWeapons!
(He gathers the five weapons and heads out the same way he came in. On Earth, Scottie head to the same bathroom where Beta Morphic and Rhexus are located.)
SCOTTIE: Hey Bryan, you forgot your... Rhexus?! (talks into Cyber Loader) Guys, activate the Station!
ERIC: Gotcha! (does what he says)
RHEXUS: No one's going anywhere...
SCOTTIE: Neptune file... down... (gets punched in the gut and drops his FileCoin)
BETA MORPHIC: Not so fast, hotshot.
(Outside)
AMY: It's working! (watches the Station fly out of nowhere, where Bryan's in the cockpit)
BRYAN: Alright!!! Rangers! Prepare to upload!
ERIC, AMY, and LAURA: Ranger file, download!
(They transform in a ray of light. After seeing this ray, Scottie grabs his FileCoin and, lying on the floor, transforms.)
SCOTTIE: Ranger file, Download!
BETA MORPHIC: No!
BLUENEPTUNE: Yes! (Blasts the two with his BlastDagger and hightails it to meet the others.)
Guys, That Bryan we were hanging out with is a Betamon!
AQUAMERCURY: So where is the real Bryan?
YELLOWVENUS: Over there! (points to a red blur in the sky as RedJupiter lands.)
REDJUPITER: Take these! They're your new GammaWeapons.
BETA MORPHIC: I don't think so, pal.
(He rushes the Rangers. RedJupiter goes after him with his JupiterSaber. YellowVenus strikes him with her VenusPulse. AquaMercury aims her MercuryBow, but misses. GreenMars destroys his Morphing Device with his MarsBreaker. BlueNeptune launches his NeptuneLance at Beta Morphic's bead.)
Is THAT the best that you can do?
BLUENEPTUNE: Hey I just got an idea. First we form BlastDagger level 3...
YELLOWVENUS: Then add the GammaWeapon to the top, and...
REDJUPITER: Amazing! Blast Defenders! Okay, on my signal...
(Rangers take aim at Beta Morphic.)
NOW!
(They all fire, ultimately decimating the Betamon. Then the Rangers take aim at Rhexus.)
You're next, Rhexus!
RHEXUS: Uh... No? (teleports out)
(A few hours later, Bryan explained to the group his sudden departure.)
BRYAN: ... So while I was trying to automap the Station, Beta Morphic turned off my laptop and I was sent back into Cyberspace along with the Station.
AMY: Talk about harsh..
SCOTTIE: So did you finish?
BRYAN: No. I'm going up there tomorrow.
SCOTTIE: Well next time, take someone else's car. (They all laugh)
