Plot
On his day off, Rick takes Calvin to a military museum. He looks at the Vietnam War exhibit with great attention. When he lands on the "Calvin Roosevelt Exhibit" and watches the video. When he sees himself, a tear runs down his cheek. Rick then walks in and is curious as to his past. Calvin explains.

"I joined the Army, at 18 years old. May 18, 1966. It was me and my best friend Eddie Washington. We were inseparable. He was always bigger and stronger than me, but he taught me everything i know about being a soldier. We were amazing on the field as The Star Captain Duo. And then he died fighting SNAKE operatives. I took up the mantle of Star Captain. The Cromson Cobra, he murked up my whole world. When I learned that SNAKE had infiltrated the US Government  it meant everything I fought for ended up being a lie. Eddie died for nothing. I sacrifced myself for nothing."

Rick sympathizes with him and states that Calvin has done a great service to the Country and the world by stopping the Star Orb from being used. Calvin replies at what end though, the world is still more dangerous today.

When they return to base. Rick organizes the team for this operation. Calvin, Ayumi, Ryan, Lara and Peter are available on hand. Rick reveals why he took Calvin to the Museum. The Crimson Cobra was spotted off a Philippene shore.

Upon Deployment, Ayumi sees that Calvin is more dialed in. He states "I have no idea why Cobra is back, something is fishy"

The five are gretted by hordes of the same commandos who fought them in the ULSAR Offensive. Something is wrong here...

Calvin makes his way into the base and fights off the commandos, and comes face to face with a terror, The Crimson Cobra.

He taunts the Red Ranger saying "I see you made it out of the ocean as well, but you lost your rugged good looks" and lunges at him, Calvin notices something is wrong with his fight skills and personality. Cobra calls in a tank machine, and the rangers respond with the Megazord. They swiftly defeat the tank, leave the base on fire, and Calvin beats Cobra into submission.

However, Calvin pulls off the mask to reveal some guy named Myron Leoanard. He whispers "SNAKE is back Captain Roosevelt, SNAKE is back..."

At the top of the nearby hill, two shadowy figures, look over. The woman in green whispers "Phase 1 is complete". The man in orange stares deeply into the fires.

Who are these people?
