Episode 119: Power Rangers Project Hexagon: Return of the Machine Empire

At Project Hexagon, alarms are going off.

"Commander" said Mercer "we have some UFOs coming towards us"

"It's okay" said Tommy "it's only the Space Rangers. Now while I'm meeting with them, I want everyone else but Haley out the room"

"Why does Haley get to stay?" Smitty asked

"Because she was requested" said Tommy "now please leave, they don't want anyone else in here but Haley and I" and Mercer, Elsa, and Smitty leave.

"Power Down" said Andros as he and the Space Rangers enter and demorph

"Good, you're here" said Tommy "where's Zhane?"

"He's coming" said Andros

"Good" said Tommy "because I've got a couple missions for you guys" and he flicks a switch and a projector shows the letters, J, A, K, and Q "first mission, I need a couple of you guys to stay here and teach Haley here how to build morphers"

"Zhane and TJ can do that" said Andros and TJ starts explaining basic principles of the Morphing Grid to Haley, so she'll understand what Zhane is talking about when he gets here

"Next, I've received an interesting distress signal" said Tommy "now normally I'd leave it up to the intergalactic police to answer it, but in this case I'll make an exception" and he flicks a switch and a golden figure appears.

"This is the Sentinel Knight" said a dark sounding voice "he was foolish enough to try to capture me. Who am I you may ask?" and the camera turns to show an evil looking alien holding… the Z-Staff "I am the son of Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd. Now I want revenge on the Space Rangers for killing my parents. We will battle to the death in the Moon Palace and if you don't come soon, I'll kill this knight"

"Carlos, Cassie" said Andros "go now!" and they insta-morphed and left on their Galaxy Gliders.

"Now" said Tommy softly towards Andros and Ashley "follow me into the back room" and they did "now it's not I don't trust your teammates, but if they hear this, they're not going to want to help Haley and we were ordered by Zordon himself to build morphers with your help. Now after everyone else's missions are done, then you can tell them, do you understand?"

"Yes" said Andros and Ashley

"Good" said Tommy and he flicked a switch showing the Machine Empire's logo "now when Zordon's wave destroyed the Machine Empire, it only destroyed the working pieces. There were 5 generals that we'd already destroyed that His wave didn't wipe out. Well, lightning struck one the generals and reactivated him and he reactivated the other four and built a small army of Cogs.

"Do you mean the Machine Empire is back?" Andros asked

"I'm afraid so" said Tommy and he flicks a few switches and the generals appear "first is Gerrok, next is Tezzla, then is Steelon, after that is Automus, and their leader is Venjix"

"What are they after?" Ashley asked

"Well that's what I want you two to find out" said Tommy "however, I have a vague idea what they're after, and its not pretty" and he flicks a switch revealing a green serpent.

"Is that what I think it is?" Andros asked

"Yes" said Tommy "the most powerful Zord ever built, Serpentera"

"No" said Ashley

"I need you to spy on them. They're on the planet of Eltare" said Tommy "Let's go back to the other room"

"Oh Tommy" said Andros "the Galaxy Rangers' Pink Quasar Saber is missing. It can function as a Morpher, so we need to find it ASAP.

"Okay" said Tommy "but who will go?"

"I will" said a female voice and they turn around to see… Zhane? He moves out of the way and reveals Karone.

"Karone, but" said Andros

"No Andros" said Karone "I can do this"

"But you're not a Ranger" said Andros

"No" said Karone "but I do have my old Astronema outfit, its very threatening, as I'm sure you know"

"But" began Andros, but Tommy cut him off

"Andros" said Tommy "there are only two Pink Ranger power signatures in space. One is on the Moon, Cassie's signature, and the other is on… Onyx"

"I'm the only one who can get in Andros" said Karone

"Fine" said Andros "so it's settled then" and Karone heads towards Onyx while Andros and Ashley head towards Eltare.

Meanwhile on the Moon, Carlos and Cassie are fighting Thrax. They are losing until he falls down in pain and they turn around to see the Sentinel Knight had freed himself and he was shooting out energy that created a space dumpster around Thrax.

"Thank-you for saving me" said the Sentinel Knight "I will use my own energy to imprison him. One day he will escape, so you must be ready to destroy him"

"How did he get so old so quickly" Cassie asked "I mean, Rita and Zedd have only been married 5 years"

"He was born near the end of the Zeo era" said the Sentinel Knight "when Dark Specter was destroyed a piece of him hit the Moon Palace, where Thrax was left by his parents under the care of some Cogs. Anyways, an earthquake was cause by Dark Specter's remains falling and one of Finster's potions fell and made him grow to adulthood. He found the designs for Zedd's staff and built one of his own"

"Why wasn't he destroyed by Zordon's wave?" Carlos asked

"He wasn't truly evil then, he just wanted to be like his parents" said the Sentinel Knight "he became truly evil when he found out what Zordon's wave did and that his father committed suicide after it. He blamed it all on the Power Rangers and swore his revenge"

"We've got to go now" said Carlos and they got on their Galaxy Gliders and left.
