Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters.

Author's Notes: First I must explain a few things:

First, the original plot I had for this story had to be scrapped for creative difficulties. Instead this tribute will be somewhat similar to the Gokaiger's Boukenger tribute episode, with a few changes for adaption.

Also, I've started a new semester at a new college, so please be patient with me and my stories. I fully intend to finish this and the two upcoming tributes by the end of the year, but no promises.

So without further ado.

Chapter 1: The New Exhibit

Armada Mothership, Command Room.

Vrak was sitting on his throne, his eyes focused on the planet he so desperately wished to conquer.

Levira and Damaras stood at both sides of Vrak's throne, waiting for him to say something.

Finally Damaras decided to speak up.

"Um, Sire?" Damaras spoke meekly.

Vrak turned his head slightly to Damaras. "Yes, Damaras?"

"Uh, Levira and I are waiting to hear your new plan to defeat the Rangers." Damaras informed.

Vrak stepped off his throne and began pacing around the Command room.

"Damaras." Vrak said as he paced. "We can't just launch another attack without something that will turn the tide in our favor."

"Of course, Vrak." Levira agreed. "But your father will be here within a few weeks, and we're no closer to defeating those Rangers."

Vrak threw an annoyed glance at Levira, silencing her.

"That may be so, Levira." Vrak continued. "However, it's been proven by my brother that rushing into a fight without a plan is foolish."

At that moment, The Command room doors slid open and Zilas entered, quickly making his way toward Vrak.

"Sire." Zilas bowed humbly before his Princce.

"At ease, Zilas." Vrak told him. "Do you have anything to report?"

Zilas stepped back onto his feet. "Yes, sire. I've learned that a museum at the Rangers' city is about to unveil a new exhibit tomorrow."

"An exhibit?" Levira repeated.

"Yes." Zilas nodded. "And as we speak, it is heavily guarded by military soldiers. That means it must be something powerful, perhaps powerful enough to finally destroy those meddling Rangers."

Vrak took in what Zilas had said as slowly approached the ship window overlooking the Earth.

"Alright, Zilas." Vrak said as he turned around to face him. "Tomorrow, take a platoon of X-Borgs and retrieve this artifact at all costs."

Zilas bowed once more. "Thank you, sire."

Following Day, Harwood County

"I still can't believe I let you guys drag me into this." Orion grumbled as he and his friends walked down the sidewalk.

Today, the gang was going on a field trip with Mr. Burley and their classmates to the Harwood County Museum, which was schedule to unveil a new exhibit today. Of course, Noah volunteered himself and his friends to help Mr. Burley organize the whole thing. Unfortunately, he forgot to tell Orion who was then forced by Gia and Emma to attend the unveiling.

"Come on, Orion." Emma said, patting the Silver Ranger on the back. "It's going to be fun, you'll see."

"Besides, I think it's time you learn more about the planet you're supposed to be protecting." Troy added.

Orion sighed in defeat. "Okay, Okay, let's just get this over with, okay."

"So, Noah." Gia spoke up, adjusting her backpack strap on her shoulder. "What's this new exhibit supposed to be about?"

"Not sure." Noah replied as he read the museum brochure. "but I'm pretty sure it'll be something connected to alien theology or else Mr. Burley wouldn't be so interested in it."

"Great, another one of Mr. Burley's crazy conspiracy theories about aliens." Jake groaned, slumping his head.

"Hey, I'm an alien." Orion pointed out, in a rather offended tone. "So he's not crazy."

"Aliens exist? Yes." Jake corrected him. "Mr. Burley, crazy? Possibly…"

"Guys, we're here." Noah informed them as they walked into the museum parking lot.

Suddenly, an explosion blew from within the building, alerting the Ranger's attention.

"Guys, come on!" Troy commanded as the six raced over to the museum entrance.

Seconds after they come up to the entrance, the Rangers witnessed several dozens of people pouring out of the front entrance, all running away in fear.

"What's going on?" Noah inquired.

Amidst the chaos, the Rangers slipped away and hid behind several cars in the parking lot. They observed the museum from the distance, which had dozens of explosions erupting from it. Before long, Zilas came out of the front entrance, holding his sword.

Troy faced his teammates. "Time to Ranger up."

Zilas stood in front of the entrance, waiting for two of the Elite Guards to find the artifact while the X-Borgs chased away the civilians.

Before long, the two guards stepped outside of the museum and approached Zilas outside.

"Well?" Zilas inquired, turning to face the two guards.

"Sir, we couldn't find it." One of the guards told him.

"What?" Zilas bawked. "It has to be in there, you fool! Look harder!"

"Yes, sir!" The guards exclaimed.

"Zilas!" Troy shouted at the evil general.

Zilas turned around as he heard the Red Ranger call out his name. Standing beside Troy was his teammates, who were all in their basic Megaforce suits (except Orion).

"Well, it's about time you all showed up." Zilas sneered, taking on a new attitude. "I just figured that you all finally accepted that I can't be beaten."

"No!" Gia snapped. "We just never thought you'd go low as to vandalize and steal things that don't belong to you."

"Fear not, Yellow Ranger." Zilas told Gia. "Once my colleagues find what we're looking for, we shall leave this forsaken museum, but not before I destroy you six once and for all."

"Not if we can help it!" Noah yelled as he fired several rounds of blasts from his Mega Blaster.

The evil general deflected the attack with his sword, causing it to ricochet and hit the wall.

"Come on, Blue Ranger!" Zilas taunted at Noah. "You can do better than that."

"For once, you're right, Zilas." Troy said as he and the other Rangers stepped forward. "We can do better."

The Rangers (except Orion) summon their Super Mega morphers and Ranger keys.

"Super Mega Mode!" The Rangers declared as they inserted their ranger keys into their Super Mega Morphers.

"Super Megaforce Red!"

"Super Megaforce Blue!"

"Super Megaforce Yellow!"

"Super Megaforce Green!"

"Super Megaforce Pink!"

"Earth's Defenders, Never Surrender!" The Team proclaimed as they struck a pose.

"So, not going to make this a bit challenging, huh?" Zilas shrugged. "Fine, I'll let you guys play with the guards."

He turned around to face the two guards who were still standing behind him. "Get them!"

The Guards nodded in agreement before Zilas rushed into the museum

As the Rangers got into an offensive pose, Troy whispered to Noah. "Noah, go after Zilas. We can take care of these guys."

Noah nodded in agreement.

Troy then summoned his Super Mega Blaster and fired several rounds at the two guards blinding them in an explosion. This gave Noah the opportunity to quickly sneak pass them and enter the museum.

"Okay, let's get to work." Troy commanded as he summoned his Sabers.

"Hyah!" The other exclaimed as they charged at the two elite guards.

The Rangers continued fighting against the two guards, who matched each of their attacks blow for blow. The second guard was currently engaged with Orion who was blocking his opponent's attack with his Silver Spear. The first guard was fighting the other four rangers

"You fight well, Silver Ranger." The second guard commended. "Unfortunately, it's not good enough."

The Guard rammed his lance into Orion's shoulder, causing the Ranger to falter for several seconds. The guard took advantage of Orion's vulnerable state and kicked him backwards.

Orion dropped his Silver Spear as he was knocked back, but managed to stay on his feet. The other Rangers regroup with him.

"Man, these guys just keep getting stronger." Orion panted.

Zilas remained still, waiting for the Rangers to make the next move.

"You're right." Gia agreed.

"Focus, guys." Troy reminded them. "We can still beat them; we just need some extra power."

"Which ones, Troy?" Emma asked, already having an idea about what Troy's strategy was.

"Extra." Troy answered.

"Extra?" Jake repeated in confusion.

"Come on, Rangers!" One of the guards called out.

"Guys, let's show these creeps what we can do with a little extra power." Troy commanded.

"Right!" The Rangers agreed as they clicked their belt buckles, summoning new Ranger keys.

"Legendary Ranger Mode..." The Rangers cried out as they placed the keys into their morphers.

"Wolf Warrior!" Troy declared.

"Sentinel Knight!" Gia declared

"Blue Senturion!" Jake declared.

"Kat Ranger!" Emma declared.

"Magna Defender!" Orion declared.

"Huh?" One of the guards gapped as he witnessed the Ranger's new powers. "What Ranger team is this?"

"Surprised, boys?" Gia quipped as she pumped her fists in the air. "You should be because now you're facing the Extra Rangers!"

"What?" One of the guards barked in annoyance. "You think those modes will save you?"

"Oh yeah!" Gia replied pumping her hands in the air even more.

"Focus, Gia." Troy reminded her as he readied his sword and shield. "We've got beat these guys so we can help Noah!"

With that said, the five Rangers charged at the group of elite guards

Meanwhile, Noah started searching through the museum for Zilas. He ran into a couple of X-Borgs and Bruisers, but he simply swatted them away with his swords and gun blasts. Noah soon spotted Zilas on the second story of the museum, under a "New Exhibit"sign. Noah began to make his way up to the second floor.

Zilas noticed Noah running up the stairs from the ground floor.

"Oh, trying to be a hero, huh?" Zilas scoffed, pulling out his sword. "Fine, I'll play along."

Noah, armed with his Super Mega Saber and Blaster, entered combat with Zilas. He swung his sword with all of his might, successfully slashing Zilas. This proved to be not enough to harm Zilas, who quickly retaliated by slashing Noah with his sword. Noah stumbled backwards and hit a stone pillar, knocking down several exhibits.

"Blue Ranger, you're supposed to stop me from stealing the exhibits, not break them!" Zilas jeered as he twirled his saber around in a taunting manner.

Noah began to get back on his feet when another group of X-Borgs appeared, blocking him from intercepting Zilas.

"Now if you'll excuse me." Zilas said as he turned to leave. "I have an artifact to recover."

"No!" Noah cried out.

Noah tried to go after him, but there were too many Bruisers and X-Borgs surrounding him. He now found himself with no choice but to fight them.

Zilas walked into the new exhibit which was Egyptian themed. Zilas scanned the area for anything that looked valuable or non-Earth like. That's when he saw it for at the center of the exhibit was a teal colored gem which was confined in a glass case.

"This has to be it." Zilas surmised.

Zilas used his sword to shatter the glass surrounding the gem. He then reached in and grabbed it. As he held the gem, Zilas could feel a strange power coursing through his body.

"Oh, yes." Zilas chuckled as he gazed at the gem. "I sure hope you're worth the visit."

As Zilas turned around to leave, he saw a figure standing in front of the exit. The front of the figure's body was silhouetted because the only light in the room was pouring from the exit.

"Come back for more, Blue Ranger?" Zilas inquired, readying his sword.

The figure remained silent. Instead, it reached out its hand toward Zilas.

"Give that stone to me." The figure demanded.

Zilas was taken aback by this brazen individual, but stood his ground.

"I'm afraid not." Zilas replied, his hand clenching on the stone. "If you want it, come and get it."

"Very well." The figure stated as its eyes began to glow.

Before Zilas could react, a flamethrower hit and engulfed him. As he sank to his knees in pain, Zilas dropped the gem.

The Figure approached Zilas and picked up the stone.

"This time was a warning." The Figure told him. "But next time I won't be so merciful. So stay out of my way, lest you suffer the wrath of Moltor, the Lava Lord!"

The flames surrounding Zilas diminished into a small haze, freeing the evil general. Moltor turned around and began walking away, slowly disappearing into the shadows.

Zilas weakly got back to his feet, and watched as the figure disappear.

"Who was that guy?" He asked himself before teleporting.

Unknown to Zilas, Noah had observed the entire event from the other side of the entrance. And now he was a little confused about what was going on.

"Moltor." Noah pondered. "But how?"

End Notes: So that's the first chapter.

The Extra Ranger Mode was the unused morph from one of the Japanese counterpart episodes of All Hail Prince Vekar.

There will be two future Ranger changes near the end, similar to Emma's tribute.

Please rate and review. Until next time.
