KAI:

I was helping Damon give Alpha an upgrade when I noticed it on the Mega Ship's computer. It was something that I had never seen before, some…some anomaly out in space. Terra Venture was heading right for it. And by the readings I was getting, it was dangerous.

So much power there...

"Damon," I said. "Look at this."

Damon, with Alpha following close behind, joined me at the console.

"What is that?" he asked.

"I don't know. But whatever it is, it's not good."

"Do you think Trakeena could be a part of it?"

Trakeena

We hadn't encountered her or any of her monsters for nearly three weeks. Not only was that a record, but also that was strange. The Power Rangers typically fought her on an almost daily basis. I'm probably exaggerating, of course, but that's what it felt like…

Maybe this was her work after all.

"I think it's safer to assume so than to give her the benefit of the doubt," I replied.

Damon nodded.

"Aye-aye-aye," Alpha muttered.

"Call the rest of the Rangers, Alpha," said Damon. "I'll have to finish your upgrades later."

"Okay, Damon."

"Kai," said the mechanic. "Help me get the Mega Ship ready for takeoff."

"Aye, Captain," I said in my best Scotty impersonation.

It didn't seem to lighten the mood.

LEO:

Alpha sounded distressed when he contacted us in the park.

"Rangers," he said. "Kai and Damon need you at the Mega Ship! They found something bad just ahead of Terra Venture!"

"Okay, Alpha," I replied as calmly as I could. "We're on our way."

As Maya, Karone, and I ran into the alleyway, the usual "Go Galactic!" allowed us to morph into the people that Terra Venture wanted us to be.

Mike was already suited up and at the Mega Ship when we arrived. Kai and Damon had morphed as well.

"What is it, guys?" I asked.

"Leo," Damon said gravely. "Come check this out."

I did.

And even though I had the power of the Lion Galactabeast in my saber and in my heart, I felt fear.

We all did.
