Kendall felt badly for leaving the Shiba Home. She had promised to do all she could to help Serena recover then found herself making no progress in her research after a couple of days. There was only so long she could be away from Amber Beach, so she took extensive notes of Serena's condition, asked the Samurai to update her on any changes as soon as they occurred and set off with Chase.

"Think we'll ever have time to stop by their dojo in town?" Chase asked as they travelled the path suggested to them by Ally for how to get into Panorama City. There, they would take a bus back to Amber Beach. Ally had offered to drive them, but Kendall felt she had already inconvenienced them enough.

"If you ever find yourself with a bit of free time," Kendall nodded her head.

"So, after we save the world?"

"I guess, yeah."

"Do you think it might be worth taking a few classes before the threat of the end of the world?" Chase suggested with a little smirk. He had been fascinated by the Samurai and their in-house dojo and he had been lucky enough to get a few lessons from Lauren and Emily while they were there. He seemed to really enjoy himself, which was much more than Kendall could say about her visit. Her mind was still on Heckyl and still on the dark energem. If she couldn't figure it out soon, Serena may be the first of many to fall victim to the dark energem.

"You think way too much," Chase said, breaking Kendall out of her thoughts. She turned to him, looking curious.

"Excuse me?"

"I mean, I love it," Chase said. "You see a problem and right away your mind starts thinking up ways to solve it. I guess what I meant is you worry too much. About everything."

"It's gotten us this far."

"And I appreciate that," Chase nodded. "But... you know it's not on you to figure this out. Not alone, at least."

"Then who?" Kendall asked. "No offense, Chase, but I've been studying the energems for..."

"Years now, I know," Chase chuckled. "I know you're the expert on them. Especially with Keeper gone but we can all help, you know. Serena's not hurt just because of you. And it's not just you who needs to find out how to help her. We're all in this."

Kendall gave a little nod and stopped walking. She looked to Chase and saw him smiling back. She knew he was right. The Rangers had helped her on more than one occasion, and they were willing to continue helping. And the more she let them help, the faster they reached a solution.

The problem wasn't that she thought she needed to do it all by herself. The problem was she didn't want to burden the Rangers with something so big.

"We're all part of this," Chase reminded her and held up his energem to show her. He continued to smile, "We'll figure out the dark energem together."

"I hope so," Kendall gave a little nod and started to walk again with Chase by her side. They just made it into the city when Kendall's cell phone rang. She checked the number first then looked to Chase with a frown. "It's Mr. Navarro."

"Tyler's dad?"

Kendall put the phone to her ear, "Mr. Navarro, to what do I owe this... call?"

"You'll never believe what I discovered."

"Anything good?" Kendall asked. She couldn't explain really why she felt bitter towards the Aqua Ranger beyond the fact that he vaguely reminded her of her own father. He had a perfectly good reason for why he walked out on Tyler and his mother ten years before, which was much more than she could say about her own dad. However, she was sure the part she hated about Mr. Navarro was that when he returned, when he knew he no longer needed to protect his son by hiding, he still chose to leave. Mr. Navarro thought the best thing he could do was search the planet for the silver Energem, and then later, find out why the silver energem suddenly appeared in a bush, instead of with a dinosaur fossil like all the others.

Meanwhile, Tyler needed his father. He spent most of his life wishing to see his dad again only to have him walk away. Tyler didn't seem too broken up about it anymore, but Kendall was bitter.

"You won't believe it. I'm at the museum. Meet us there."

-Dino-Charge-

When the elevator doors opened, Kendall immediately noticed the Dino Lab was packed. All six of her Rangers were down there, as well as James and Prince Phillip. For the first time, all ten energems were in one location. She felt a little sense of pride, knowing she had accomplished Keeper's goal for him. All the energems were in safe hands and they were reunited.

However, she also felt her heart stop, realizing all the energems, and their power, were in one location. Suddenly, it seemed like a fantastic idea to keep the Rangers spread out across the planet. If Snide or Archanon chose to attack right now, all the energems were in danger.

"Ms. Morgan! Chase, come see this," Riley called to them, waving them over to the center console, where James had projected the image of a bird-like creature for all the Rangers to see. He looked to Chase, then Kendall and pointed to the alien.

"This is Zenowing. He was a long-time friend of Keeper's."

"Never heard of him," Kendall stated.

"For good reason," James explained. "When you told me your brother found the silver energem, I thought it was much too convenient. So I knew I just had to keep digging. I needed to find out more."

"Mr. Navarro contacted me," Phillip explained. "He wanted to know if I had any resources that I could lend to him for some top secret exploration."

"One thing led to another and I found this," James held up a rather large book, printing in a foreign script. Kendall walked over to the book and tried to analyze a page, but couldn't get past what she assumed was the first word. She did recognize the writing, though. She had seen it before when she first meet Keeper.

"This is..."

"It's a journal," James said. "And it took me a while to decode it but I'm pretty sure about what I know. Keeper had a long time friend, an apprentice who was supposed to take over guarding the energems when Keeper got to be too old. Unfortunately, they lost the energems before that happened. It seems while Keeper remained on Earth, Zenowing searched the galaxy and tried to help in other ways."

"Such as?"

"Building the Zords," Phillip smirked.

"And how exactly did you find all this out?"

"Zandar has a small space exploration program," Phillip explained. "When James asked me for some help, I figured it might help to lend him a ship."

"You went to space?" Tyler asked, looking to his father in absolute awe. He was already thrilled his father seemed to be back. Now, he was starting to hear of his father's adventures; it was like a dream come true two-fold.

"Briefly," James smiled. "Zandar doesn't have anything that could allow us to cross the galaxy, but it turns out, Zenowing was able to make it to Mars before..."

"Before what?" Shelby asked.

"Lord Archanon arrived at the same time he did," James explained. "And that's all I know except that we found Zenowing's remains on Mars with this book. I think it's safe to say, he didn't make it."

"What else does this book tell us?" Kendall asked.

"Zenowing states he originally bonded with the Silver energem," James turned to Jeremy. "Apparently, he found the silver energem shortly after the mass extinction, just before he decided to help Keeper from afar."

"So when he died...?"

"I don't know what happens to energems when their host dies," James answered Jeremy with a little shrug. Kendall chimed in.

"The energem searches for a new host."

"But how would it get from Mars to here?" Shelby asked.

"Maybe Zenowing knew he was in a losing battle?" Riley suggested. "And maybe he thought it would be safer to send the energem to Earth and hope for the best than die with it in his hands."

"Just before I bonded with the Silver energem I did see something coming down from the sky," Jeremy nodded his head. "It's what dragged me out of bed."

"Great. So we know the story of the silver energem," Kendall said with a little shake of her head. "We also know there's someone else out there whose dead. Mr. Navarro, I don't mean to be rude but is there anything you discovered that may be able to help us out right now?"

"How about the dark energem?" James suggested. Kendall crossed her arms.

"What about it?"

"There's a whole chapter of this journal dedicated to it," James nodded. "Now, I have the translation guide, but in my own research I wasn't able to understand everything mentioned. I'm afraid I don't know enough about the energems to..."

"Let me see," Kendall said and took the translation guide from James and was almost immediately immersed in the book.
