"Chase!" Cammy shouted as she raced into the museum with a paper in her hands. "Chase! Chase, where are you?"

She had already checked the cafe, but a waitress there told her that Chase was working on the museum floor. Cammy didn't know where in the museum he could be so she had taken to running through the whole building. When she passed Kendall, the older woman stopped her, grabbing her by the arm.

"Cammy, you're not supposed to run! What if you knocked over...?"

"Where is Chase," Cammy asked. "I need to find Chase! My homework depends on it!"

"Homework? Cammy, I can..."

"It needs to be Chase," Cammy pulled her arm free and started to run again. "Chase! Chase, are you... ah!"

She screamed, jumping back when, from out of nowhere, the black Ranger appeared with a smile.

"Sorry, mate," he chuckled. "Kendall asked me to fix one of the banners. What's up?"

Cammy handed Chase the paper, letting him read it. Chase smiled.

"You picked New Zealand?"

"Ms. Patterson said we had to pick any country except America," Cammy said. "So I picked New Zealand. I need a report and a presentation board. Can you help me with that?"

"Absolutely," Chase nodded his head and scooped Cammy up in his arms. "Alright, to start, New Zealand is the most beautiful country on the planet..."

Chase was interrupt when he heard his Dino Com buzz. He sighed and set Cammy down on her feet before turning to Kendall. She gave him a little nod and he knew that meant there was trouble.

"This will have to wait until I get back, alright?" Chase told her. "When do we need to get this done?"

"Uh... tomorrow," Cammy answered nervously while rocking back and forth on her feet. "You... You can get it done by then, right?"

"I... Alright, we'll try to kick butt fast," Chase said before he took off. Cammy watched him go, then turned to Kendall who had her arms crossed.

"Camille, how long ago was this assigned to you?"

"As long as it's done tomorrow, who cares?" Cammy asked. Kendall snatched the assignment sheet from Cammy to read it over.

"Cammy, this is a full report! Even with Chase's help, you'll be up all night!"

"It's only grade three, Kendall," Cammy took the paper back. "It can't take that long. Besides, don't you have a battle to help the Rangers win?"

"I... We'll talk about this later," Kendall said before rushing down to the lab. Cammy held up her assignment sheet again, reading over it. The list was quite daunting, and Ms. Patterson had warned the class to do a little work on the project every night. But Cammy thought, with Chase being from New Zealand, the homework would be easy.

She could only hope she was right. She didn't have all night and she didn't want to fail the first assignment of the year.

She made her way down the lab. It would be Chase's first stop after the fight so she figured it would be faster if she was waiting for him. But when she got downstairs, she saw something strange on Kendall's screen.

"Is that a robot?" she asked before excitedly turning to her sister. "Whoa, did you make a robot Ranger?"

"This is not my work," Kendall shook her head and Cammy could see her doing something on the computer. "If anything, this is the work of an amateur. This robot is completely useless!"

"Looks like it," Cammy pointed to the screen, where the robot was fumbling in his fight against the viviks. He was falling over more than anything, and though the viviks couldn't really get a good shot in against him, he wasn't doing anything to stop them trying. "I could do better than that."

"I'd rather have you out there than it," Kendall muttered. "You'd at least know to stay out of the way. This thing is just an inconvenience."

"Hey, look, Fury's running away," Cammy pointed out with a smile. "Maybe that robot is doing something."

"Unlikely," Kendall shook her head. "I think we just got lucky. Rangers, once you're done with the viviks, figure out what that robot's doing and who is behind it. We can't let him interfere with another battle."

"On it," Tyler answered as the viviks disappeared, but Chase shook his head.

"Think you guys can do this without me? I promised Cammy I'd be back quickly. She needs help."

"We've got this," Tyler nodded his head. Chase powered down and rushed off, leaving the other five Rangers to get a closer look at the robot. As they approached it, they heard it repeatedly muttering about an error and it wouldn't stop walking into the wall.

"Well, that's what trial runs are for," someone said and the Rangers turned around, surprised to see Prince Phillip was back in town. And he was holding a controller, allowing the Rangers to assume that the robot before them belonged to him.

At least, most of the Rangers assumed so. Once Tyler saw Prince Phillip, his vision turned as red as his suit.

"Sledge asked for the energem. The Prince refused to give it up and ran off, leaving me. I couldn't exactly let Sledge get it, or hurt him. So I whacked Poisandra."

"He abandoned you? He just up and ran and let Sledge do this?"

"Chivalry might be completely dead in Zandar. Though, really, I should have seen that coming when he chose the energem over me with Fury."

Tyler walked up to the prince, clenched his fist then decked him, right in the side of the face. Prince Phillip hit the ground and Tyler was immediately grabbed and pulled back by Koda and Shelby, while Riley and Ivan went to help the Prince get back up.

"Let him go," Tyler commanded his teammates. "The guy is scum."

"He is a Prince of Zandar," Ivan said, dusting off the Prince's jacket and asking if he would be fine. When Phillip nodded, Ivan turned back to Tyler. "You are not to harm the heir to the throne of Zandar..."

"Like he hasn't earned it," Tyler snapped and the Rangers noticed the Prince lower his head. He picked up his console.

"I'm here to make up for my mistakes," the Prince announced. "I figured you Rangers could use a hand, so I had this robot designed to help in battle. To make up for... well..."

"You can't even say it?" Tyler asked.

"Say what?" Shelby frowned.

"She was hurting for a week," Tyler said to the Prince. "Sledge really did a number on her, you know."

"Sledge?" Riley looked to Tyler. "Is this about what Sledge did to Ms. Morgan? Tyler, the Prince wasn't even there when it happened."

Tyler pointed a look to the Prince, "If you don't tell them, I will."

"She is alright?" the Prince asked. "Your friend, she made it out..."

"Barely," Tyler said. "Thanks to Keeper."

"You lied before," Shelby frowned as she put the pieces together. "Last time you were here, you said you didn't see Ms. Morgan..."

"He ran," Tyler finished for Shelby and looked to the Ranger. "They bumped into Sledge together and this Prince turned the other way."

The Prince looked down at his controller while the Rangers, including Ivan, backed away from him. The gold Ranger seemed the most shocked.

"You left a lady in peril?"

"I regret my actions. I do," the Prince insisted. He pointed to his robot. "That's why I came back. To make up for my errors, I want to help you Rangers. My robot, he was..."

"Useless," Shelby crossed her arms over her chest. "In fact, he was worse than useless. He got in the way."

"He... he did?" the Prince asked. Suddenly, Riley tapped Tyler on the arm, calling out to the Rangers.

"And they're taking him away!" he called out. The Rangers and the Prince turned around to see some viviks carrying off the robot that had strayed during their talk. They ran, trying to catch up to the aliens, but they weren't fast enough. The viviks disappeared around the corner, taking the robot with them.

"They can't control it without the remote," the Prince assured the Rangers, holding up his controller. Tyler snatched it from his hand.

"You better hope you're right about that," he said before storming off in a huff. Riley and Shelby were right behind him. Koda stayed back. He stood in front of the Prince and puffed his chest. His nostrils flared and Koda growled menacingly.

"Stay away from Kendall," he grunted, striking fear into the heart of the Prince, who was fortunate enough to be spared Koda's full wrath. The cavemen then turned away, following his friends back to the lab. The Prince looked over to Ivan.

"I am sorry, your highness," Ivan told him. "But I can neither support nor defend such an act of cowardice."

"But she knows more about this than me," the Prince said in his own defense. "She knows what those monsters are capable of. She was better off than I was... I... I'll make it up to them. To the whole team. Just give me a chance?"

Ivan sighed. He looked over his shoulders at his retreating teammates, then back to the Prince. He was torn between two loyalties. Long ago, he had pledged himself to the royal family of Zandar, swearing to keep them safe and stand by their side no matter the circumstances. Even if a knight didn't agree with his ruler, he was loyal to the throne.

However, Ivan had also sworn his loyalty to the Rangers. They were, for lack of a better word, his friends. They had taken him in, they fought by his side. He couldn't disappoint them.

"You will need to prove yourself repentant," Ivan explained. "Several good deeds will be needed to make up for this mistake."

"I'll do anything," the Prince said, then reached into his check book. "Tell the Rangers I'll give back all the Zandar treasures I took. The museum can keep them on display for however long they wish. I will also make a generous donation in the name of Zandar."

The Prince wrote up the check and gave it to Ivan, "Make sure this gets to... uh..."

"Lady Kendall?" Ivan frowned. "You don't know her name?"

"Kendall," the Prince said. "Make sure this gets to Kendall, and let her know it's from me. No strings attached."

Ivan looked to the piece of paper, as though he was checking for literal strings, then he nodded his head.

"I will do as you ask," he bowed before following his teammates. The Prince watched the Knight go, then reached into his pocket, taking out the graphite energem found in his name. The dullness of the stone was expected, given the colour, but the Prince could tell it was also a bad sign. When the other Rangers had shown their energems, they seemed to have a glow about them. Even the black energem. The Prince knew his was lifeless – it hadn't bonded with him yet.

"There must be something more I can do," he said, wracking his brain for more good deeds.
