Back at the woodland battlefield, the rangers fought the two new Generation 20 adversaries with every ounce of gumption they had. Even though they were being thrown around here and there, they focused their physical attacks solely on Kilobyte while they remained on the defensive with Dillon. Although the dangerous pair were undoubtedly outnumbered, they were handling the rangers with surprising ease. Once they were thrown back and forth enough times, they pulled back for a moment to rest.

"We're getting thrashed!" Flynn cried as he took hold of his aching shoulder.

"They're just--" "--too strong!" Gem and Gemma whimpered to one another, helping each other up.

Kilobyte rose his swords in victory and readied himself to use them. "Ha ha!! You rangers are more pathetic than I thought! You may as well retreat while you're still breathing!" he shouted at them.

What Kilobyte didn't notice was Dillon staring off into space as if her were trying to figure something out. His mind was somewhere else, he didn't even remember how he had even gotten here. He turned to the colorful rangers lying in the grass and he couldn't help but get the feeling that something was wrong. He saw faint, blurry streaks in his mind of those rangers and himself fighting against Kilobyte.

"Oh, how I've waited for this…" Kilobyte scowled as he drew closer to the weaker rangers with his swords held high.

"Wait!" Dillon said in a softer than usual voice, holding out his arm to stop Kilobyte.

"Wait!? What are you talking about?!" Kilobyte screamed at him in fury.

Dillon took a moment to try and fathom why he was stopping Kilobyte from ending the rangers. After failing to get an answer, he shook his head and lowered his arm. "N-nothing." he said faintly.

"That's what I thought." Kilobyte grumbled, pulling away from the Black Ranger.

Just as Kilobyte was about to make his strike, he felt a small beam clip him in the right shoulder. He screamed as it made contact and dropped his swords.

"Who did that?!" he screamed in fury as he looked around for the culprit. When he looked behind him, he saw Summer decked out in her ranger form.

"That's enough, Kilobyte!!" She shouted at him, holding up her smoking blaster.

"So, Ranger Yellow, you've decided to come out and play?" he snickered, grabbing his swords off of the ground. "Guess this means you decided not to help Venjix after all?" he asked.

"I never wanted to help him! You both forced me!" Summer cried back, pointing in his direction.

"Well, take a good look at your precious Ranger Black, because Venjix will hear about this!" Kilobyte replied as he darted off to warn his master of their traitor.

"No!" Summer screamed. She knew that if Kilobyte were to tell Venjix that she didn't give in to his demands, not only would he never bring Dillon back, he'd probably destroy him without a second thought. So she bolted after him as fast as her legs would take her.

"I don't think so!" Kilobyte retaliated, snapping his fingers, causing Dillon to jump in front of her and stop her.

"Dillon, stop! Please! He's just going to use you and destroy you!" She screamed at him, trying to get around him unsuccessfully.

Dillon just peered down at her with his evil red eyes. "Venjix is my master, he would never destroy me." he said in a deep and eerie voice.

"Dillon," Summer began, trying to calm herself, "Venjix has warped your mind! He just wants to use you to destroy the city then he's going to throw you away! You have to believe me!"

When Dillon still wouldn't let her go, she threw him off of her and began to give chase to Kilobyte. She ran a few feet before she was jerked to a stop by Dillon grabbing her arm.

"No!" She screamed again struggling to break free. "Flynn! Gem! Gemma! Ziggy! You've got to stop Kilobyte before he gets to Venjix!" she called out to them. She could tell they were bashed and tired, but she was bound and determined to make this come to an end.

"You heard her, mates," Flynn groaned as he found it in himself to stand, "let's go." he finished. Seconds later he and the others were running after Kilobyte.

"Scott, you have to lower the shields now!" Doctor K shouted at the Red Ranger with urgency.

"Now?" Scott said from his computer chair. "But Summer and the others are being pummeled by Kilobyte and Dillon!" he yelled, pointing this out on the screen.

"If you don't do it now, Kilobyte will tell Venjix that Summer betrayed him, which will make him want revenge on her, causing him to summon Dillon to fire the weapon and not only annihilate us, but the entire city." Doctor K informed him.

"Doctor K, if you'd just give me their coordinates--I'm gone. I'll help stop him." he assure her, trying to make her not do anything too drastic before it was needed.

"You feel you can assist them in this operation?" Doctor K asked, looking at him with uncertainty.

"It's better than me sitting here helpless doing nothing." He told her. Doctor K knew he was team leader and he always wanted to aid the team if ever they were in danger. His being out of commission so long was killing him, he wanted to do whatever he could to make sure everyone in his team made it out of this alive.

"Please be careful, Ranger Red. This is all riding on you and your team." She told him, knowing he could do more on the battlefield than here in the lab.

"Thanks, Doc." he answered, heading to his car. "I'll do whatever it takes."

"I'm coming too!" Terra jumped in, running to Scott's car as well.

Doctor K looked at her in disbelief. "What?" she asked.

"I want to help Scott fight off Venjix and save my brother. I want to make him pay for what he did to me and Derek. I want to make him pay for what he's done to everybody." She explained.

Doctor K could see the sincerity in her face, she and Scott knew that she wasn't going to back down. And seeing how they were already down a ranger, they could use all the help they could get. They thought, if she wanted to repent for working for Venjix, she should be able to do so.

"You're sure about this?" Scott asked her from his car.

"It's the only thing I'm sure of." She answered softly, looking at him with hurt eyes.

"Get in." Scott said, tilting his head towards the passenger seat.

"Thank you." Terra answered softly, hopping in the seat next to him.

"I'll program the coordinates into your morphed." Doctor K told him, walking up to his car door. "Here." she added, handing Scott the key with the virus. "It's the only way to stop him." she said.

"You can count on us, Doc." he assured her with a warm smile. She smiled back and nodded.

Just as he started his car, he heard a familiar voice come from his morpher.

"Dad?" Scott asked in confusion.

"Yeah." Colonel Truman answered softly. "I just wanted to say, well…be careful, son." he said slowly. He knew this battle with Venjix wasn't going to be an easy one, and this may be the last time he and Scott speak.

"Wow…" Scott said in surprise. "Thanks, dad." he said, this simple call making him smile inside and out. He finally felt that he had his father's approval, and more than that--his respect.

"I believe in you. We all do." Truman answered. "Now stop this computer virus once and for all."

"I'll give it my all." Scott told him gently. "Goodbye…dad." he said, hoping this really wasn't 'Goodbye'. This gave him the confidence boost he needed to get ready to face Venjix once and for all. After a moment of mental preparation, he called out to Doctor K.

"Ok, Doc…lower the shields." he told her, gripping the steering wheel in front of him.

"Affirmative." Doctor K said with a lump in her throat as she typed a few keystrokes. "Lowering the shields." she said lowly. After a moment the computer began to beep loudly. "By my calculations, Venjix will be notified of the shields lowering and be on his way here in about seven minutes." she warned them.

Scott turned to Terra and as he started the car. "You ready, Terra?" he asked her.

She nodded in response. "Let's save this city." she said with determination.

Then Scott moved he stick shift and sped off to settle the score once and for all.
