"A powerful Empire is targeting the universe for complete conquest, with no one able to stop them. Until nine brave warriors are chosen by the stars themselves to save the entire universe. They are the Power Rangers Star Force!"
With the Star Cruiser seen in the background, Pink and Gold Star Rangers are walking across the rocky surface of an asteroid in space.
"You're sure you detected it here?" Pink Star Ranger asks.
"Definitely. It should be around..." Gold Star Ranger looks all around him, including above him, before looking straight down. "There!"
Pink Star Ranger walks up to Gold Star Ranger and see sticking out of the asteroid is a piece of a Star Globe, "Good job."
Gold Star Ranger pulls out his Star Crossbow, "Thanks. Now to get it out."
Gold Star Ranger starts to aim his weapon, before Pink Star Ranger grabs onto it, "Let's try something that might not risk breaking apart the asteroid we are standing on."
"Oh, right."
Pink Star Ranger pulls out the Star Claw, and starts to use it pull out the Star Globe, before finally managing to get it free and holds it up. The two look at it.
"I wonder what it do," Pink Star Ranger ponders.
"Let's go back and find out," Gold Star Ranger suggests.
Laira is pacing back and forth on the Star Voyager's observatory deck, holding the oval-shaped device in hers hand.
"C'mon, you're an hour late," Lair says.
"Who's an hour late?"
Laira looks up to Neil entering the room. Laira holds down the oval-shaped device.
"Oh, nothing," Laira claims. "I'm just thinking out loud."
Neil points at the device in hers hand, "Is that your alarm?"
Laira quickly smiles, obvious fake, "Yes. Yes, my alarm is running an hour late. No big deal."
"Laira, is everything's okay?"
"Yeah, why would you ask?" Laira asks.
"You been acting weird lately," Neil explains.
"It's nothing, really Neil," Laira claims.
"Laira, we're a team," Neil starts. "We need to be honest with each other. Kenneth realized that."
Laira looks down slightly, "Yeah, we need to be honest with each other. He said the same thing."
"Who did?"
Laira faces hers friend again, "Its better I tell everyone together."
Laira stands at the front of the bridge, with all of the unmorphed Rangers watching her.
"You hadn't met him yet, but a part of the Emirate's crew is Dracon," Laira starts. "He was a legendary warrior in the Dragon system, and he joined the Empire... for the resistance."
"He's a spy?" Hikari asks.
"Like Nebulas was?" Davis adds.
"Yeah, and the irony of that isn't lost on me," Laira comments.
"Why you never told us before?" Hikaru asks.
"I'm afraid that more people who knows about him, the more likely he will be discovered," Laira tells hers friends. "Although Dracon had advised me to tell you all. And I'm sorry for not doing so earlier."
"Sound like you were under a lot of stress," Kenneth states, before he shrugs his shoulders. "I can relate."
Laira smiles, when the oval-shaped device starts to beep, "Oh good." Laira turns away from hers friends and presses the side of the device. "Dracon, I was getting worried. I just told everyone about you."
"Good, then this will be a lot less awkward," Nebulas' voice comes out of the oval device.
Laira spins back to hers friends, who all look surprised, matching Laira's worried expression, "Nebulas?"
On the Emirate's bridge, Nebulas is holding a similar oval-shaped device.
"Yes, and it safe to say I know about Dracon too," Nebulas starts. "So if you want to ever see him again, then you will do what I say."
"A Friend in Need"
Sometime ago inside a Mars cavern, Laira follows Dracon, who is holding his staff, around a corner through the cavern.
"I don't think this is a good idea, Dracon," Laira says.
"It is, Laira," Dracon starts. "As far as the Empire knows, I'm just a warrior from the Dragon system." Dracon turns to face Laira and places a hand on his chest. "They don't know I'm friends with your parents, or have any connection with the resistance." Dracon turns back away. "And with my history, they could give me a high rank, which will help pass information to the resistance."
"I just don't like it," Laira tells him.
Dracon stops walking.
"You will be surrounded by beings who won't hesitated to end you if they learn who you are," Laira reminds hers friend.
"I know. It's a big risk," Dracon turns back. "But after your parents were captured, this is our best chance to get an advantage over the Empire."
"I just don't want to lose you too."
Dracon places a hand on Laira's head, "You won't lose me." Dracon presses a thumb against his chest. "After all, I'm the most skilled warrior of the Dragon system."
Laira grins slightly, "That was a long time ago."
"Heh, some things doesn't change," Dracon says.
Laira looks over to the side, "What about those?"
Dracon follows Laira's glance at two cases, "I don't known. The resistance isn't at the strength they were when your parents gathered them. So the original plan to search for worthy warriors will have to wait."
"I'll keep them safe," Laira vows.
"Good, but I better go," Dracon starts to turn away, when Laira grabs his arm.
"Promise you'll be safe," Laira says.
"I have lived a good long life, and I'm not ready for it comes to an end any time soon," Dracon says.
Nebulas appears on the screen at the front of the Star Voyager's bridge, with all the unmorphed Rangers watching.
"Now this is more comfortable," Nebulas looks around. "So this what your bridge looks like. Very roomy."
"Get to the point, Nebulas," Neil says.
Nebulas smirks, "And here I am, missing the banter."
"Is Dracon's okay?" Laira asks.
"Don't worry, he just fine," Nebulas answers. "For the moment. How long that lasts depend on if you all meet my commands."
"What is it you want?" Davis asks.
"Now, now, you know me long enough to already know the answer," Nebulas tells them.
"The Star Globes," Neil realizes.
"Like I said," Nebulas comments.
Neil notices Laira looks down.
"Now I stop wasting everyone's time, and makes it simple," Nebulas starts. "Nearby there is a planet called Nymbia, that recent was evacuated."
"After the Empire conquered it?" Hikari asks.
Nebulas grins, "I will meet you there in one hour, with Dracon. Hand over your Star Globes and Gauntlet Morphers, and I will hand over Dracon. Remember, one hour. Don't be late."
Nebulas' image disappears, leaving the screen black.
Neil looks over to Laira, who remains looking down as she hugs herself.
"I know we can't do it," Laira says. "I know the Star Globes are too important to give them up."
"What's your relationship with Dracon?" Neil asks.
Laira looks up, "Excuse me?"
"You never did told us," Al reminds her.
"He's a close friend of my parents," Laira explains. "I even know him as long as I've known my own parents."
"So he's a family friend?" Davis asks.
"Yeah... he's basically family."
"Then it's settled," Neil says.
"What settled?" Laira asks.
"We will do everything in our power to save Dracon," Neil explains.
"But you don't know him, and the Star Globes...?" Laira starts.
"He's your family, that's important too," Hikari interrupts.
"We are the defenders of the universe, that's mean saving everyone," Hikaru adds.
Laira fights back tears, "I don't know what to say."
"You don't have to say anything," Alexis starts her. "It's why we're here."
Laira smiles and nods.
"Of course, we will need a plan," Davis mentions.
"What's Nymbia likes?" Goldex asks.
"I have heard of Nymbia, its pretty much one giant city," Laira explains.
"And if the Empire had conquered it, they will have the home field advantage," Hikaru adds.
"Yeah, doubtful we be able to do some recon before the meeting," Neil says.
"Yeah, while the planet is relevancy nearby, it will still takes us almost the entire hour to get there," Laira states.
"Probably not an accident," Kenneth points out.
Dracon seats in a jail cell on board the Emirate, as Nebulas approaches the black cell bars. Dracon looks up to see Nebulas is holding his staff.
"I can see why you like this staff, very lightweight, easy to handle," Nebulas says.
"It was a gift from friends," Dracon says.
"Didn't realized you were sentimental," Nebulas states. "But then again, I never thought you would spy on the Empire and try to undermine it. How the mighty had fallen."
"I hadn't fell," Dracon starts. "The Empire is a scourge to the universe. And the Emperor is a monster, who must be stopped for the betterment of all life."
"Watch what you say about the Emperor, or you won't last long enough for the hostage exchange," Nebulas threats.
"Hostage exchange?"
"Yes, you for the Star Globes," Nebulas explains. "Guess the Martian girl is also sentimental. In fact I better go and send the Rangers the precise coordinates for our meeting."
Dracon looks down, which Nebulas notices.
"Don't worry, you will see your little friend soon enough," Nebulas starts to walk away. "For the few moments you both still have."
Laira looks out the observatory deck's window, when Neil enters
"We're reaching Nymbia, and Nebulas just sent us the coordinates for the precise meeting site," Neil says.
"Do you think we're making a mistake?" Laira asks.
"Laira, if we don't do this you'll lose someone important to you," Neil reminds her.
Laira turns to face him, "And if we fail, the universe will lose the Star Force. How can the Rangers protect the universe, if they no longer exist?"
"And how can the Rangers protect the universe, if we can't protect the people closet to us?" Neil asks.
"I want to save Dracon, with all my heart, but I'm also afraid that i'm leading my friends to their end," Laira explains.
"I was afraid of leading my friends into space, but I was able to do it," Neil tells her. "By trusting in my friends. So trust us, we will save Dracon, and we will all get out of there safely."
"Neil..."
"Everyone, we're at Nymbia and ready to depart," Hikari says from the Gauntlet Morpher.
Neil holds up his Gauntlet Morpher, "Okay, everyone meets at the hangar, we'll take our Zords down." He looks to Laira. "Ready to go?"
Laira takes in a breath, then smile, "Yeah, let's go."
The nine unmorphed Rangers are walking down a deserted street on Nymbia, with Neil holding a silver briefcase. Alexis notices Greyids scuttling behind buildings, and two Majoroids looking around one corner.
"Nebulas isn't even trying to pretend this isn't a trap," Alexis notes.
"Just remain calm," Davis tells her.
Kenneth looks around before inhales.
Neil looks ahead, "We're here."
The nine then notices Nebulas, Dracon's staff in hand, is standing next to Dracon with a Majoroid to his side, and couple Greyids behind them.
"Ah, good, everyone's here," Nebulas realizes. "And right on time too."
"Let's get this over with, Nebulas," Neil says.
"Straight to the point," Nebulas grins. "You first."
Neil takes couple steps ahead of his friends, slowly bends down and seats down the briefcase, before straightens up and steps back.
"Now release Dracon," Laira orders.
"First thing first, Laira is it?" Nebulas says before he hands Dracon's staff to a Greyid, then he approaches the briefcase and opens it up to find the nine Gauntlet Morphers stacked, with their respective Star Globes seating on them. "They better not be more holograms."
Nebulas slowly touches a Gauntlet Morpher, clearly touching the real thing. Nebulas smiles, he then looks back at the Majoroid and nod his head toward the Rangers.
"Go on," The Majoroid pushes Dracon, who proceeds to walk pass Nebulas and to the Rangers, with Laira walks up to him, placing hers hands on his arms.
"Dracon, are you okay?" Laira asks.
"I am unharmed," Dracon answers.
"For the moment," Nebulas stands up as he picks up a Gauntlet Morpher.
"You got what you want, Nebulas," Hikaru says. "Now let us go."
Nebulas fits the Gauntlet Morpher on his arm, "Mmhm, this is also pretty lightweight. Now..." Nebulas flips down the morpher's trigger grip and grabs it. "Is this how you used it?" Nebulas presses the trigger, but nothing happens. Nebulas frustrated looks at it, as he presses the trigger couple more times, but nothing continues to happen. Suddenly, the morpher disappears. "What?!"
Nebulas looks down to see the rest of the Gauntlet Morphers disappearing, "They are holograms?!"
Goldex waves a finger, "No, not holograms."
Earlier on the Star Voyager's bridge.
"There's another problem, how will we makes the trade without giving up ours Star Globes?" Hikari asks.
"Yeah, I serious doubt Nebulas will fall for holograms again," Alexis notes.
Goldex places a hand to his chin, "You know, I have an idea on that."
In a matter of moments, the unmorphed Rangers stand in front of the second level's console, as most of their Gauntlet Morphers, with their Star Globes, lie on them. Goldex places a Star Globe on his Gauntlet Morpher.
"Twin Star."
Goldex flips down the trigger grip, grabs it, and fires at the other Gauntlet Morphers, as each of them glow before a duplicate appears next to them. Goldex holds out his arms, as his own Gauntlet Morpher glow and a duplicate appears in his free hand.
Neil steps out in front of Laira and Dracon, "You really think we would just hand over the Star Globes?"
Nebulas clenches a fist, "Doesn't matter, you're still unharmed!"
"Perfect, but how are we going to carry around the real Morphers without giving us away?" Hikaru asks.
Hikari pulls out the new Star Globe, "I actually have an idea for that one."
"Perfect thinking," Goldex takes the Star Globe from her, spins the outer shell to reveal the image of a microscope, place it on his Gauntlet Morpher.
"Micro Star."
Goldex aims his Gauntlet Morpher and fires it at the real Gauntlet Morphers on the console, causing them all to shrink to very small sizes. Goldex's Morpher starts to glow, as it shrinks, he turns over his arm, with the small Gauntlet Morpher appears in his open hand.
The nine unmorphed Rangers hold out their hands, revealing they are holding tiny objects, which glows and grows, before they turn over their arms, with the Gauntlet Morphers appear on their arms.
Nebulas looks ahead, getting anger by the moment, "Wha-Well, you're still outnumbered!" Nebulas grabs Dracon's staff from the Greyid, and points it forward. "Destroy them!"
The nine unmorphed Rangers form a circle around Dracon, aim their Morphers and fire them, "Star Force, descent!"
The nine are glow with their respective ranger colors before they are covered in their ranger suits.
Blue Star Ranger grabs a Greyid's attacking arm and flips it onto its back. Silver Star Ranger back elbows a Greyid and roundhouse kicks another. Yellow Star Ranger split kicks two Greyids.
Red Star Ranger holds down a Greyid's arm, "Remember the plans, everyone!"
Nebulas and the Majoroid are watching the battle.
"What do you think they could be planning?" the Majoroid asks.
"I don't know, there's their jump ship..." Nebulas double takes at the Majoroid. "What are you doing?! Get out there!"
Majoroid starts running toward the fighting, "Oh, right!"
Nebulas shakes his head, "I'm surrounded by fools."
All of a sudden, Dracon's staff is pulled from Nebulas' hand, as an invisible Green Star Ranger becomes visible, while coming out from a roll.
"I'll be taking that," Green Star Ranger says.
Nebulas clenches his fist, "You are quickly becoming the biggest nuisance in my life.
Green Star Ranger faces Nebulas as she backs up, "I take that as a great compliment."
Green Star Ranger turns around and runs up to Dracon, handing him his staff.
"Laira..." Dracon says.
"Its time to go, Dracon," Green Star Ranger tells him.
The Majoroid runs over to the side and aims his staff at the pair, "You not going anywhere!"
Pink, Gold, and Orange Star Rangers roll over to between them, and aims their Gauntlet Morphers.
"Guess again!" Pink Star Ranger yells.
The three Star Rangers fire their Gauntlet Morphers, causing explosions to erupt in front of the Majoroid.
Majoroid runs through the ensuring smoke to see all four Star Rangers and Dracon are missing, "What?! They're gone!"
Red, Blue, Black, Yellow, and Silver Star Rangers stand together.
"Alright guys, let's clean up here and meet up with the others," Red Star Ranger tells his friends.
"Right!" The other four yell.
The five Star Rangers charge.
Green, Pink, Gold, and Orange Star Rangers, and Dracon are stand next to a building in an alleyway.
Pink Star Ranger looks around the corner, "Okay, you two stay here, and we make sure the coast is clear."
"Right," Green Star Ranger responds.
Pink, Gold, and Orange Star Rangers run around the corner. Green Star Ranger takes couple steps, and looks around the corner.
Dracon looks down at the staff in his hand, "Laira..."
Green Star Ranger takes off hers helmet, and turns to face hers friend.
"It's very dangerous for you and your friends to have come for me," Dracon tells her.
"Dracon, you're family," Laira says. "I couldn't abandon you."
"I don't deserve your loyalty."
Laira smiles, "I disagree."
"Laira, I..." Dracon starts.
"Laira, there's too much Greyids here," Pink Star Ranger announces from the Gauntlet Morpher. "Takes evacuation path B."
Laira holds up hers Gauntlet Morpher, "Copy that."
Laira puts hers helmet back on, as she starts to head toward the other end of the alleyway, "Let's go, Dracon."
"What's evacuation path B?" Dracon asks.
After couple seconds, Green Star Ranger and Dracon walks down a street.
"We figured right away that Nebulas will throw every Greyids and Majoroids he can at us, and since none of ours cockpits are big enough for a passenger, we will need a way to take you off world while running from a fight," Green Star Ranger explains.
"Your jump ship?" Dracon realizes.
"Star Cruiser, right."
Green Star Ranger leads Dracon through a labyrinth of alleys.
"Goldex can summon it via a remote control, but it never been tested, so he will need a large open space for it to land safely."
"But Nymbia is just one massive city," Dracon tells her.
"Right, but our quick scans of the planet show there is a plaza, with a large concrete slab that could act like a landing site," Green Star Ranger says.
Green Star Ranger and Dracon reach the end of an alley.
"And you all came up with an evacuation plan so quickly," Dracon comments. "I'm impressed."
Green Star Ranger looks around the corner, "We made a good team."
"I'm glad you were able to make such good friends," Dracon says.
Green Star Ranger looks at hers friend, nods hers head, and looks back around the corner.
"So what the plan now?" Dracon asks.
"Goldex will meet us here, so right now, we just have to wait," Green Star Ranger explains.
Blue Star Ranger jumps through the air, with his Star Claw raise, "Star Claw!"
Blue Star Ranger lands and strikes down a Greyid, then spins around, kicking a Greyid, and strikes at another Greyid.
Black Star Ranger blocks a Greyid's weapon with his Star Axe, "Star Axe!"
Black Star Ranger pushes back the Greyid, before strikes at it and then at a Greyid behind it. He then grabs another Greyid's attacking arm, kicks it and another Greyid, before flipping the first Greyid onto its back.
"Star Striker!" Yellow Star Ranger uses hers weapon to block blasts from couple Greyids, before running toward them. "Mine turn."
Yellow Star Ranger jumps and spins around, striking at the Greyids, as she passes. She then jumps back, avoiding a Greyid's weapon strikes, jumps forward and strikes at the Greyid's chest.
"Star Scythe!" Silver Star Ranger uses his weapon to block a Greyid's weapon strike, spins his Star Scythe around, knocking the weapon out of the Greyid's hand. He then strikes at the Greyid, spins around and strikes at two more Greyids.
"Star Saber!" Nebulas dodges under a saber strike from Red Star Ranger, before grabs Red Star Ranger's attacking arm, and kicks him in the chest, releasing his arm. Nebulas fires an energy blast at Red Star Ranger, who blocks with his Star Saber, sending him back couple steps.
Nebulas then charges at Red Star Ranger, who manages to jump over his head, and kicks him in the back before landing. Nebulas spins to fire another energy blast, but Red Star Ranger uses his Star Saber to deflect the blast back at Nebulas, sending him off his feet. "Why don't you just give up, Nebulas? You can't win."
Nebulas returns to his feet, "Never! My Emperor will reign supreme!"
Nebulas disappears in dark energy, as the other four Star Rangers regroup around their leader.
"He really knows how to make an exit," Yellow Star Ranger says.
"Hey, had anybody seen that Majoroid?" Blue Star Ranger asks.
Red Star Ranger looks down for a moment, before looking back up, "We need to meet up with everyone."
The five Star Rangers start to run off.
Pink Star Ranger is thrown through the air by an explosion, with hers Star Blaster in hand.
Suddenly, hers wings allow her to fly toward the ground, as she blasts Greyids on both sides with hers Star Blaster and Gauntlet Morpher. "Star Blaster!"
Suddenly a Majoroid swings his staff at Pink Star Ranger, who ducks under the attack, presses hers Star Blaster at the Majoroid's chest and blasts it several times, forcing the Majoroid back couple steps.
Orange Star Ranger holds up his Star Spear to block two Greyids' weapon strikes, then swings under his Star Spear, pulls it back, flipping the two Greyids onto their backs, "Star Spear!"
He then spins around, striking at three more Greyids with his weapon. He then barely blocks another Majoroid's staff with his Star Spear, as the Majoroid pushes him back couple steps. Orange Star Ranger manages to push the Majoroid off him, spreads out his arms, as his tail extends and hits the Majoroid, "Scorpion Striker Tail!"
Orange Star Ranger then runs passes the Majoroid, striking him with his Star Spear.
The Majoroid spins around as it ends back to back with the other Majoroid, as both Star Rangers approach their opponent. Orange Star Ranger delivers a powerful strike with his Star Spear, as Pink Star Ranger fires both hers Star Blaster and Gauntlet Morpher, with both Majoroids fall down in large explosions.
The two Star Rangers walk up to each other.
"Hey, we make a good team," Orange Star Ranger comments.
"Yeah, right..." Pink Star Ranger says.
Orange Star Ranger rubs the back of his helmet, as Pink Star Ranger starts to run pass him.
"We better meet up with the others," Pink Star Ranger tells him.
Orange Star Ranger starts to follow her, "Right."
Green Star Ranger keeps on look around the corner, at the plaza, with Dracon behind her.
"Goldex should be here by now," Green Star Ranger says. "I hope he's okay."
"Perhaps it would be better if you and your friends would leave in your Zords without me," Dracon suggests.
Green Star Ranger turns to face hers friend, "Never. Why you keep on saying stuff like that?"
"Your parents was taken, I don't want you to suffer the same fate," Dracon tells her.
"If there's anything I learn as a part of the Star Force, it's that we are stronger together," Green Star Ranger presses a hand against Dracon's arm. "We will survive this together. We will find my parents together. And we will defeat the Empire together."
Dracon uses his free hand to rest it on Green Star Ranger's hand on his other arm, and then nods. She shares his nod, before noticing couple Greyids approaching from the other end of the alley.
"Watch out!" Green Star Ranger fires hers Gauntlet Morpher at the Greyids. She then grabs Dracon's free hand. "We need to find new cover."
Green Star Ranger pulls Dracon out of the alley and through the plaza, when Dracon notices the first Majoroid is aiming his staff at them.
"Laira!" Dracon pushes Green Star Ranger out of the way, as the Majoroid fires his staff, blasting Dracon's shoulder, forcing him to his knee. Green Star Ranger rushes to Dracon's side, as he holds onto his shoulder.
"Dracon!" Green Star Ranger slowly clenches hers fist. "You'll pay for this!" Green Star Ranger pulls out hers Star Defender weapon. "Star Rapier!"
She jumps high in the air, but the Majoroid fires his staff, blasting her out of the air.
Green Star Ranger lands hard on the ground, as she holds hers side.
Dracon is unable to gets up, as he continues to hold his shoulder, "No."
The Majoroid slowly approaches the downed Green Star Ranger, "Perfect, once I defeat a Power Ranger, I'm certain I will get an enhanced power." Majoroid starts to aim his staff at her. "I can already imagine my new name: Major Invincioid!"
"How about Major talk too much," Green Star Ranger fires hers Gauntlet Morpher, blasting the Majoroid, forcing him to drop his staff, as she returns to hers feet and strikes at the Majoroid.
The chameleon image appears behind Green Star Ranger, as she stabs forward with hers" Star Rapier, causing the blade to extend like a long whip sword, "Whipping Strikes!"
The extended attacks hit the Majoroid several times, before he starts to fall backward.
"So much for my promotion," The Majoroid falls down in a large explosion.
"The universe is under Ranger protection," Green Star Ranger says.
Green Star Ranger runs up to Dracon and helps him to his feet, "Are you okay, Dracon?"
"I'm fine, Laira," Dracon tells her. "Trust me, I have been wounded worst then this."
Two Greyids fall down as Gold Star Ranger runs up to the pair, "Sorry, I'm so late. Everything's okay?"
"Nothing I can't handle," Green Star Ranger says, and then looks to Dracon. "Right."
"Indeed," Dracon agrees.
The three looks up as the Star Cruiser is approaching.
"Ah, our ride has arrived," Green Star Ranger notes.
At that moment, the other Star Rangers run up to the group.
"You guys still here?" Pink Star Ranger asks.
"We have some delays," Green Star Ranger explains.
"What's matter is everyone safe and sound," Black Star Ranger says.
"Agreed, now let's get going," Red Star Ranger says.
"Yeah, before Nebulas realizes something is missing," Yellow Star Ranger adds.
Onboard the Emirate's bridge, Nebulas knocks down a Greyid, as he stands in front of the console.
"The Star Voyager is nowhere in sight!" Nebulas looks up at the screen showing just empty space around Nymbia. "The Rangers must've hidden it somewhere before they made their final approach to Nymbia." Nebulas presses couple buttons. "I might not have Saucer Mechs, but I can still blast apart their little jump ship, with anyone foolish enough to be onboard it."
The screen now shows the Star Cruiser flying through the sky, before its image is replaced by the Lion StarZord flying through the sky.
"No, they have already summoned their Zords!" Nebulas sees a Greyid about to presses a button, before he grabs its arm and throws it away from the console. "You fool! If we fire now, those Zords will tear us apart." Nebulas looks down at the console. "Pulls back, before they see us."
He looks back up, having trouble keeping back his anger, "The Rangers win... this time."
Laira and Dracon enter the Star Voyager's bridge, with Dracon rubbing his shoulder. Alexis and Davis turn away from the second level console.
"Dracon, how you feeling?" Alexis asks.
"I'm much better, thank you for asking," Dracon says. "But my species heal very quickly, although your medbay is impressive."
"Hopefully, we won't need it again," Davis states.
Neil walks away from Hikari, who is at the front of the lower level, and faces Dracon on the second level, "Glad to see you back on your feet."
"I appreciate everything you all risk," Dracon starts. "Now, if you can drop me off on the nearest unoccupied planet and I'll be fine."
Laira walks up to Dracon, "Wait, you're leaving?"
"Laira, my usefulness against the Empire ends once I'm ousted as a spy," Dracon tells her.
"Laira said you were a skilled warrior," Neil mentions.
"That was a long time again," Dracon explains.
"You still in your prime," Laira says.
"I can't compare to the strength of a Ranger," Dracon claims.
"Dracon, you're free to do whatever you want," Neil starts. "But we would love to have your help, if not for your strength, then very least, for your wisdom."
"What you think?" Laira asks.
Dracon looks from Neil to Laira, "I never could say no to you." Laira smiles, as Dracon looks back to Neil. "I'm here."
Neil offers a handshake up to Dracon on the second level, "Welcome to the team."
Dracon accepts the handshake.
In an unknown chamber on the Emirate, Nebulas is kneeing in front of a hologram of Emperor Novalis.
"Not only you failed to recognize a spy among your own mitts, but you lost him to the Power Rangers, who also escaped your clumsy trap," the Emperor Novalis' clearly unhappy.
"Forgive me, my Emperor," Nebulas begs. "But Dracon's sabotage is why I have been failing, now with him off my ship..."
"You continued to fail after he was exposed, and you failed before you were given your command."
"Emperor, given the chance..."
"Your "second" chances are running out," Emperor Novalis interrupts. "And for that, I'm sending two warriors, who have captured some... troubled individuals to aid you."
"I don't need any help."
"Are you questioning my command!"
Nebulas leans back, out of fear, "No, my Emperor."
"You have failed me greatly in the past," Emperor Novalis reminds him. "Continue to do so, and you will suffer worse consequences then you have already."
Nebulas bends down, "I won't fail. Not anymore."
Emperor Novalis's hologram disappears, allowing Nebulas to look back up.
"I will get back into your good graces, no matter what it takes."
