Tiffany: so what do we do now?
Psyclone: prepare. We're going to be seriously outnumbered tomorrow.
?: perhaps we can even the odds a bit.
The monitor turns on and we see the dino charge rangers on the screen.
Kate: thanks but I don't know that ten more rangers will be of much use.
Suddenly the image splits into four separate images. The top left shows Drew, Roland, Jo and five other people.
Drew: make that eighteen more
The top right is the Overdrive rangers
Mack: twenty four
And finally the bottom right shows Barca and his team.
Barca: and we'll round it out to thirty four
Jackie: with all of us that'll make a total of
She does the math in her head.
Jackie: sixty four rangers all together.
Sir Loin: don't forget me
Illuminator: and me
Psyclone: my father will pay for what he's done
Kate: plus the army the dragon guardians have built for us.
?: (behind) aren't you forgetting someone?
They turn around to see Hannah and Tommy Oliver standing there.
Tommy: we're in.
Kate: so that makes sixty six rangers and three additional warriors.
Jackie: (sarcastically) look out Omegor.
Trucchis:
231
The scene shifts to Trucchis. We see Bob is standing in front of several, angry looking, people.
?: they work here. Our planet is facing destruction because of them.
Others: yeah!
Bob: you don't understand
?: if we turn them in to him he'll leave us alone
Kim appears next to Bob
Kim: all of you need to calm down. If it weren't for all of them we'd already be dead.
?: what do you mean?
Bob: all of them are the power rangers.
This quiets the crowd instantly. Nearby we see Tyler T. approach someone and tap their shoulder.
Tyler T.: hey
They turn around.
?: what's up Tyler?
Tyler: can I talk to you for a second?
?: sure
They walk outside to talk. The crowd begins to dissipate as Bob and Kim stare them down.
Kim: that almost ended badly.
Bob: thanks for the help Kim.
The next morning: 7:30 am.:
The scene begins at the power chamber. We see all of the rangers, minus Tyler T. and the new ranger, standing in the main chamber. Everyone has cups of coffee in their hands.
Brandon: (yawning) so any idea who our new ranger is?
Kate: (sipping coffee) nope
Suddenly Tyler and the, morphed, new ranger arrive.
Tyler T.: hey guys
232
Green Ranger: rangers
Jackie: it's about time
Green: sorry it was my fault.
Tyler O.: okay enough with the suspense.
The green ranger un-does the things on the side of the helmet. They then remove the helmet. We see that it is a young man.

Kate: hey James
James: hey guys how's it going?
Brandon: I'm assuming Tyler has filled you in on the situation.
James: yes
Tyler T.: so what's the plan for today?
Greg: well first Laura, Brandon, Tiffany, Shane, Jackie and I all have something we have to do this morning.
Kate: make it quick. Then you should go and make the most of your remaining time with your families. Chances are most of us won't survive this battle. We'll meet back here at 3:30.
All: right
They all then teleport out of the power chamber. Alpha then walks over to Kate.
Alpha: that was a good thing you did Kate.
Kate: I know Alpha
Alpha: what are you going to do?
Kate: first I'm going to go to Trucchis to check on their preparations. Then I have some work to do on our weapon systems and zord configurations.
Several Hours Later: 12:30pm:
233
We see all of the rangers spending time with family members. It appears they have revealed their secret to them. The scene then shifts over to Trucchis. We can see Bob, Mike, Kim, Sarah C. and Brian rushing around preparing.
Brian: are we sure it's ready?
Bob: pretty sure.
Adam then approaches them.
Adam: need help?
Bob: (turning) Adam I told you to go home.
Adam: we want to help.
Kim: what do you mean we?
The outside doors open and a bunch of people enter the store.
?: we're here to help.
Adam: the rangers are going to need backup tonight.
All five look at each other and nod. Bob tells them about the armory and how to access it.
Sarah: start bringing out all the things in there.
Mike: and each of you take one of each for yourselves. Make sure to keep them with you at all times.
All: right
They turn rush out back to the armory.
Power Chamber: 3:30pm:
The scene shifts over to the power chamber. We see Kate, Psyclone and Alpha standing there. On the monitor we see various people, of various ethnicities.
Kate: are all of you ready to go?
All: yes Kate.
Kate: good. Good luck and may the power protect you.
The monitor turns off as the rest of the rangers arrive. We see the three couples are wearing wedding rings.
234
Kate: welcome rangers.
All: Kate
Kate: it's almost time
We see the rangers are looking nervous.
Psyclone: (stepping forward) okay enough beating around the bush.
Everyone turns to look at her.
Psyclone: I can tell you're scared. You'd be fools not to be. If you want to back out, now is the time. Nobody will stop, or judge, you for it.
The rangers look at each other and nod.
Brandon: I think I speak for everyone when I say we're going to see this through until the end.
The others nod in agreement.
Kate: very well
Power Chamber: 4:55pm:
As it nears Omegor's deadline, we see the rangers outside sparring. Brandon walks over to Tiffany and taps her on the shoulder. She turns to look at him.
Tiffany: what's up?
Brandon: can I talk to you?
Tiffany: sure
They walk a short distance away from the others.
Tiffany: what's up?
Brandon: listen. I know you're determined to battle. But I think you should sit this one out.
Tiffany: are you fighting?
Brandon: of course I am.
Tiffany: then so am I.
Brandon: but….
235
Tiffany: no butts. I've made my decision.
5:30pm:
The rangers are in the power chamber awaiting Omegor's attack. All of a sudden the monitor turns on and we see Omegor's face on the screen.
Omegor: I have to say I'm disappointed. I thought your sense of self-preservation would win out. I guess I was wrong.
Greg: damn straight
Omegor: my invasion of this pathetic planet begins at 8am tomorrow morning. Enjoy your last hours of peace humans.
He starts laughing maniacally as the transmission ends.
Jillian: well I guess we've got a few more hours of peace.
James: if he keeps his word that is.
Raphael: (behind) he will
The rangers turn around.
James: how do you know that?
Raphael: I was bonded to the bastard for ten thousand years.
James is surprised by this information.
James: wait what?
The others explain to James who Raphael is. Brian then teleports into the Power Chamber.
Brian: you should all go home and get some sleep. You'll need to be at peak performance tomorrow.
Kate: right we'll meet back here at 7:00 tomorrow morning. I'll have coffee waiting.
Rangers: right
They all then teleport away. Kate then turns to Brian.
Kate: will you be joining in the fighting.
Brian: Bob, Kim, Mike and I will be running it from Trucchis.
Kate: right. We'll see you tomorrow.
