On the way to Mirinoi…

"Karone," Kat said "Didn't you say Mirinoi had already been attacked?"

Karone nodded and said "Yes, he attacked us and kidnapped Leo, the rest of the Galaxy Rangers were left badly beaten," she sobbed.

"Why did he only take Leo?" Andros asked as he walked up to see what his sister was crying about, "I'm not sure. He just said that Leo is very important and that he needs him."

"And you have no idea what Trixabus wants?" Andros asked putting his arm around his sister. Karone just shook her head. "Andros," D.E.C.A called "We are coming up on Mirinoi now. Preparing to enter the atmosphere."

"That's good D.E.C.A, everyone take a seat." Andros said as he sat in his seat. "Ay yi yi yi! Andros, there's someone in the engine room!" Alpha cried as he came running in. "I'll go check it out," Tommy said. Tommy made his way from the bridge to the engine room, walking slowly so as not to alert the intruder to his presence. 'Here it is' he thought "Alright, come on out whoever you are!" Slowly Kira came out from the other side of the engine.

"Kira?!" he said, shocked "What are you doing here?"

"Well I had to get my Dino Gem back," she said smiling. He raised an eyebrow in confusion "Your Dino Gem? What do you mean?"

"Look in your right pocket,"

Tommy looked in his pocket and pulled out the Yellow Dino Gem. "When did you put that there?" he asked "I never felt a thing!"

"I planted it on you, back at the high school. And hey, y'know, we really need to find a better meeting place. Just because Hayley moved and the Cyber Café closed down doesn't mean we have to meet at the school."

"It's just convenient for me is all, but that's not the point. I told you to not to come."

"I know,"

"So why did you?" he asked firmly "This enemy isn't like Mesagog, he's far worse."

"I know you could use the help. Besides, Reefside hasn't seen any action in, like, six years. I highly doubt this Trixa-whatever guy will strike there." Tommy just shook his head and thought 'Man, just like we were when first started out all those years ago.'

He sighed "Alright, fine. You can accompany us. But this guy was able best the Lost Galaxy Rangers, and they've been Rangers a lot longer you. So be careful." Kira smiled and patted his shoulder "Don't worry Dr. O. I can take care of myself. Come on Tori, we've been found out." Tommy raised both eyebrows "Tori? The blue Wind Ninja Academy Ranger? You brought her too?" Tori slowly climbed out from behind the engine "Yeah, Kira called me and filled me in on the situation. It sounds like you could use all the help you can get."

"Come on, we better get to the bridge," Tommy said "We're about to land."

Tori looked over at Kira and said "Can you believe this?" Kira looked at her with a smile on her face and said "I know! Space travel! I never thought I'd ever get the chance!" As they entered the bridge Tommy introduced Tori and Kira to Andros, Ashley, Kat, and Karone. "It's a pleasure to meet you Kira, Tori" Kat said.

"You too Kat," they said.

On Trixabus' ship…

Golver entered the throne room of the ship to inform Trixabus of they're location. "Lord Trixabus, we are approaching Earth's moon now. Shall I set us down outside of Lord Zedd's old palace?"

"Yes, that will be fine Golver. Where is that bumbling buffoon Rito at? Take him and lead an army of fantomites to Angel Grove when we get there."

Golver bowed and said "Yes, at once my Lord. Rito! Where are you?" Rito came bumbling into the throne room "You call me Goldar?"

"It's Golver! Goldar was my brother you idiot."

"Oh right, I forgot. Sorry Goldar, oops, sorry did it again." He snickered "Anyway, whaddya want?"

Golver pointed his sword at Rito and said "We're leading an army into Angel Grove after we land. Prepare the fantomites!"

"Right away buddy!" Rito said. Golver just growled and hid his face in his palm. "How did I get stuck with such a stupid partner?" he asked himself. "Lord Trixabus, how exactly did Rito escape the Z-Wave that destroyed my brother and reformed Lord Zedd?"

"Aw that's easy buddy, y'see I-"

"I believe he asked me you worthless fool!" Trixabus bellowed "He hid in Rita and Zedd's Dark Dimension. Apparently it kept him safe from Zordon's purifying energy. And lucky for us he did. Somehow that idiot found the key to release us. Rito! Get going! Assemble the fantomites!"

"Oh yeah, I forgot, right away Trixy!"

"Golver," Trixabus said "bring the captive Ranger. Now!"

"Right away my Lord!" Golver shuddered at the thought of what Trixabus might do to Leo. A few minutes later Golver returned with the captive Leo handcuffed. "Ah, Red Ranger," Trixabus mused as Leo was placed before him "You know what I want. And how to get it too." Leo struggled against his restraints and said "You'll never get Kron's last gem!"

"That is not all I require to become whole again Ranger. You know I also need other six Gems. I require all seven of Kron's gems to become my fearsome self again. And you will tell me where he hid the sixth, and where his apprentice Zordon hid the seventh."

"What about the others?" Golver asked.

"His girlfriend already came and got those. But no matter, they will be mine soon enough."

Back on Mirinoi…

The seven rangers exited the ship along with Alpha and were greeted by the elders of Mirinoi. After they went to check on Damon, Kendrix, Kai, and Maya, they headed for the cave where Karone believed the sixth stone to be. "It should be just ahead, but watch out. This area is known to have Quantrons and Stingwingers around it." As soon as she said it an army of both appeared. "Spinosaurus Power UP!"

"Dragonzord Power UP!"

"Raptorzrod Power UP!"

"Prehistoric Shark Power UP!"

"Pteranodon Power UP!"

"Ninja Storm, Ranger Form HA!"

"Dino Thunder Power UP!"

In a flash of red, green, blue, yellow, purple, and black they all became the Prehistoric Rangers, the Blue Wind Ninja Ranger, and the Yellow Dino Ranger. Andros pulled out his Spino-Axe and charged into the center of the army and blew a fourth of them away "Wow!" he said "This axe is amazing!" Ashley pulled out her Ptera-sword and hacked away at the Quantrons, when she pushed a buttons on the hilt the Pteranodon head opened and huge gust of wind came out that blew them into space "Awesome!" Karone pulled her Rapto-blades out and ran straight down the center of the Stingwingers, along with Kira, which made it easy for Tori to blow them away with her Water Ninjutsu. "Cool," she said examining the blades. Kat pulled her Shark-blaster out and fired at the rest of the Quantrons along with Tommy throwing his Dragon Dagger at them, and the Quantrons retreated. "That was great!" Kat exclaimed. They then powered down and entered the cave.

She led them to the very back where a waterfall was coming in through an opening up top. "Take your gems," she said to the others "and hold them here with mine." She took the Purple Gem and held it behind the waterfall and against the rock. Tommy, Kat, Andros, and Ashley did so as well. The wall began to tremble, and after a few minutes it slid back and to the left to reveal a hidden room. In the center of that room was a pedestal with a cloth in the center. The rangers then entered the room, Tommy touched the cloth and it disintegrated due to being so old. "Whoa," Tommy said "Look, here it is. The sixth gem." Tommy picked the White Gem up. "Looks like now we need to find the ranger this gem belongs to," he said.

"Yeah," Andros added "Kron didn't say these gems glow while in the presence of the person they belong with, just the other gems."

"Then how come it's not glowing?" Tori asked, looking at Tommy, then Andros. Tommy opened his mouth to say something, then shut it again. He was stumped. Kron hadn't told them how to find the Ranger the gem belonged to. Tommy then said "Looks like we have a great search on our hands. But we need to get back to Earth to defend it from Trixabus. We need to make it back before he does…"
