"No matter how much I try, I can't seem to get the upper hand." Gabriel said as he was looking over articles and such about his creations failing. "There must be some way I can take the miraculous power from the rangers. There must be a way to get it away from them."
"I'm sure the answer will come in time." Natalie said as gave him some coffee. "There must be some answer that we're not seeing." They tried to think of a way to gain the rangers powers. They had to stop when they heard their hidden elevator and saw Miracle Queen step out.
"So this is what the rest of the place looks like. Not bad." Miracle Queen said.
"What are you doing out here?!" Gabriel said. "Get back in there before Adrien or someone else sees you in here."
"Chill, Mr. Grumpy. I just came to tell you that another one of your creations looks ready to emerge." Miracle Queen said. When she told them that, they hurried down and they saw another pod with another monster inside ready to emerge. Gabriel transformed into Hawk Moth. He used his cane and opened it up with a new monster emerging.
"That's better! I was waiting for the day I would be able to come out." A female monster emerged from the pod and something was coming back to him.
"Oh yes… Miraculer." Hawk Moth said. "I almost forgot about you and your powers. You can actually take the rangers powers right from them. You just might be what I'm looking for." Hawk Moth saw a chance to gain the rangers powers and he's not going to lose them.

Francois High School
Marinette had some free time and drew a sketch of Sol Knight in her notebook. She couldn't stop thinking about him and hoped he would come around.
"Still thinking about Sol Knight?" Alya said as she came over.
"Yeah. I know there's a good heart in there. Why else would he heal me and give me the knowledge to perform that technique of his?" Marinette said. "We just need to get him to see that we're stronger as a team than we are individually."
"Who are you talking about?" Alya and Marinette felt trouble when they saw Chloe and Sabrina come over. Chloe looked down and spotted her drawing. "Drawing your knight in shiny armor, Marinette? As if that will ever happened."
"It's none of your business, Chloe." Marinette said as she was already getting annoyed with her.
"At least Marinette has a better chance of that ever happening than you." Alya said. "What knight would want to come and rescue you?"
"I've already done better than a knight. The rangers have actually helped me." Chloe said. "Have they ever come to help either of you?"
"The rangers are here to help everyone, Chloe. Not just you." Marinette said.
"Well, Chloe is more important than the rest of you." Sabrina said. "Her father is the mayor after all. Chloe could even become a ranger herself if she wanted."
"That's right. I so could." Chloe said, but Alya and Marinette found that so laughable.
"There's no way you could be a ranger, Chloe." Alya said. "It takes a good heart. You don't have what it takes."
"Please. As if you could do any better? I'll show you." Chloe said as she and Sabrina walked off. The two of them did not like what Chloe might be planning.
….
Sol Knight
Sol Knight looked over all of Paris. After his last battle, he was doing some thinking. Marinette started to open his eyes to things he's never imagined before.
"Am I even able to join forces with a team? Do I even what it takes to be part of a team?" Sol Knight questioned. As he was trying to figure out what to do, Chloe and Sabrina were planning to figure out how to prove their point.
"So how do I go at being a ranger?" Chloe said.
"We could just go up and ask them." Sabrina said.
"True, but we need more than that. I want a suit that's more glamorous than what they have." Chloe said. As they were talking about how Chloe can become a ranger, Miraculer appeared right in front of them.
"Talking about rangers? I love rangers….to steal their powers." Miraculer said. Sabrina hid behind Chloe, but Chloe was trying to act brave.
"You… You don't scare me." Chloe said as she tried to act brave as a ranger. Miraculer shot some energy shots around them and they got scared and took cover. Miraculer was going to keep it up, but Sol Knight came down.
"That's far enough." Sol Knight said.
"You're not a ranger. Get lost!" Miraculer said as she took her tonfa and tried to fight off Sol Knight with it. Sabrina and Chloe stayed hidden and watch the fight go on.
"Who is that? He's not a ranger." Chloe said.
"Isn't that the person Marinette was drawing in her book?" Sabrina said. Sol Knight was able to hold his own, but Miraculer fought him back.
"I hold no interest in you. I want the rangers." Miraculer said.
"Here we are!" All of them spotted all six rangers arriving on the scene.
"Perfect." Miraculer said.
"Rangers! Over here! Yoo-hoo!" Chloe called out.
"Oh no." Marinette said. Chloe stepped out and came to talk to them.
"Just who I was looking for. I was wondering if you could make me a ranger too." Chloe said.
"Move!" Francis said as he shoved her out of the way from Miraculer's attack. Francis kicked her back and moved Chloe out of the way as they tried to fight her off. Marinette grabbed Chloe and moved her out of the way.
"Stay out of the way where it's safe." Marinette said.
"But I want to be a ranger too." Chloe said.
"We're not recruiting right now." Marinette said and went to join the fight. The six of them kept trying fight off Miraculer. She was able to hold their own against them. Sol Knight jumped in as he used his sword against her, but she blocked it with her weapon and flipped back.
"Sol Knight, you doing okay?" Marinette asked.
"I'm fine." Sol Knight said.
"You won't be when I get through with you." Miraculer said. She tossed her tonfa and it flew around like a boomerang as it hit against all of them and came back to her.
"Listen, I would make a great addition to the team." Chloe said as she kept trying to convince them to let her join.
"So you want in on the action?" Miraculer said. She tried to attack Chloe, but Alya acted fast.
"No!" Alya said. She stood in the way of the attack and Miraculer slammed her tonfa against Alya. Alya could feel her power being drained. Miraculer grabbed her and tossed Alya into a trash can. Miraculer turned to Chloe and Sabrina and launched energy blasts near them and it scared them away.
"That's enough!" Francis said as the other five stood against her.
"How about you pick on someone that can fight back?" Adrien said.
"No problem." Miraculer said. She unleashed a ray at each one of them and it was draining the energy out of them. All their power was drained out of them and they demorphed.
"What happened?" Nino said. Alya pulled herself out of the trash and saw she was in the same position.
"She drained us of our powers." Alya said.
"That's right. They're all right here." Miraculer said as she held her tonfa. "Now to take it to Hawk Moth."
"No you don't!" Francis said as he moved fast and kicked it right out of her hands. He gave Miraculer a strong kick and caught her tonfa. "Let's go!" They hurried and ran as fast as they could.
"Get back here!" Miraculer said as she went after them, but Sol Knight slashed against her and knocked her down.
"I don't think so." Sol Knight said. He looked to the rangers and decided to go with them instead of continuing the fight. Miraculer got up, but she saw they were gone.
"No! Hawk Moth isn't going to like this." Miraculer said.
…
The Rangers' Base
All of them retreated back to their base and had to look over what happened. They tried morphing again, but it wasn't working. This wasn't good.
"It's no use. I can't morph." Nino said.
"None of us can." Luka said.
"This is bad." Fu said. "It seems this monster has the ability to drain you of your powers. If she delivers your powers to Hawk Moth, he will have possession of the miraculous power."
"Not as long as we have this." Francis said as he held the tonfa. "They're all stored right in this thing. We need to figure out how to get our powers out." All of them were trying to figure out how they can do that. Marinette looked and saw Sol Knight just standing there.
"Sol Knight, I want to say thank you for helping us out." Marinette said.
"Think nothing of it." Sol Knight said as he just shrugged her off.
"Come on. We won't get answers here." Adrien said. "Miraculer won't sit around. She'll be back and we've got to be ready for her."
"He's right. Even if we don't have our powers, we need to be ready for when she comes back. Let's see if there's something we can use to get our powers back." Francis said. All of the rangers stepped out, but Marinette noticed Sol Knight.
"Aren't you coming?" Marinette said.
"No. Go without me." Sol Knight said. Marinette could see Sol Knight has a lot to figure out. So she left him alone to do that.
"Is there something troubling you?" Fu asked.
"I'm confused on a lot of things." Sol Knight said. "For instance, I let the enemy go and chose to follow the rangers back here. Why would I do that? My last encounter with the rangers has really affected me."
"I say for the better. You're learning to care for others rather than your mission." Fu said. "Marinette has reached out to you in friendship and it's making you see things differently."
"Friendship…?" Sol Knight said.
"Friends are people who help each other." Fu said. "They care for each other and are there when it matters the most. The rangers wish to be your friends. Can't you see, Sol Knight? You all want the same thing. You have the same goal. It's just that they have their hearts more opened and it gives them greater strength."
"Is that so?" Sol Knight said. He thought about all the rangers have done and maybe thought he was wrong with how he went at things.
…
Hawk Moth's Hideout.
"You what?!" Hawk Moth shouted as he blew Miraculer against the wall. She told him what happened and he did not appeared to be happy about it. "You had their powers, but you lost all of them?!"
"It's not my fault! They took my tonfa and that stupid knight got in my way before I could really do anything." Miraculer said as she was pleading for mercy.
"You should have come straight to me the second you had them!" Hawk Moth said. "You better hope they don't have their powers back or else you'll be of no use to me!"
"I knew this whole thing was too good to be true." Miracle Queen said.
"Silence!" Hawk Moth said as he turned to her. "So far, you've been less use to me than she has. Unless you have something useful to say, don't speak!"
"Of course." Miracle Queen said, but she wasn't going to let Hawk Moth keep speaking to her like that. "Just wait, butterfly. I'll show that I'm even greater than you." She left the room as she was planning ways to get him.
"Miraculer, get out there and find your tonfa! You better hope the rangers haven't gotten their powers back." Hawk Moth ordered.
"Of course. I'll get on it." Miraculer said as she got moving as her life depended on it.
….
The Rangers
"How does this thing work?" Nino questioned as they all tried to figure out a way to get their powers back.
"A tonfa is usually used for combat, but I don't know how it works when it steals powers." Francis said.
"Well, we need to get them back or else we're going to be in real trouble." Luka said.
"Man. First, Chloe comes bugging us about being a ranger. Then, Sol Knight is having issues. Now, we don't have our powers." Alya said. "This whole thing is out of control." All of them were trying to think, but they were stumped on what they should do. Suddenly, the area around was shot at and they all fell from the explosions. Francis dropped the tonfa and it slid away.
"Thanks for holding this for me." They all looked up and saw Miraculer was back and she took her tonfa back.
"Hand it over." Francis said as they got back up.
"I don't think so. What can all of you do without your powers anyway?" Miraculer said.
"You think that's going to scare us away?" Adrien said.
"You better think again. We don't need our powers to take you on." Luka said. All of them weren't scared and were still willing to fight. All six of them went at her and tried their best to fight her without the use of their powers. As they were, Sol Knight arrived and saw how they fought.
"You're all going down!" Miraculer said as she fought them off. She unleashed energy shots at Alya, but she avoided each one and bounced off against a wall to do so.
"Hey!" Adrien called as he grabbed a table and tossed it against Miraculer. She turned to him and tried firing at him, but Adrien moved as fast as he could.
"Over here!" Marinette called to get her attention away from Adrien. Miraculer tried at her, but she spun around and even did the splits to avoid her attacks. Francis tried attacking her, but Miraculer turned to him. She unleashed some attacks at him, but Francis flipped backwards and kept some distance between her and him.
"How long can we keep this up?" Nino asked.
"Until we can get that tonfa back." Francis said.
"Good luck with that." Miraculer said as she was getting ready to attack again, but something blasted her and her tonfa was shot into the air. All of them looked and saw Sol Knight arrived.
"You came!" Marinette said.
"Of course. That's what friends do, is it not?" Sol Knight said. The rangers were pleasantly surprised by his claim. The tonfa came down and he slashed right through it with their powers returning to them. They were all glad to have their powers back with them gathering around Sol Knight.
"Sol Knight, thank you." Francis said.
"Of course. You've rangers have opened my eyes to what I could not see before. Now let us finish this threat." Sol Knight said and they all agreed to that. As this was going on, Chloe and Sabrina were walking by.
"Who do those rangers think they are, blowing me off?" Chloe asked.
"Chloe, look." Sabrina said as she saw the fight going on.
"Adrikins? Marinette? What are all of them doing?" Chloe questioned.
"Miraculous Power!" All six of them morphed without even knowing Chloe and Sabrina saw them.
"No way! Those guys are the rangers?!" Chloe said.
"Rangers, together!" Sol Knight said.
"Light of Miracles, Activate!" The rangers powered up and ready for action.
"You can't do this to me!" Miraculer said.
"Let me start!" Luka said as he jumped in the air and tossed his lyre as it slashed against Miraculer.
"Together as one!" Sol Knight said. "Build power around your swords and release it all at once." Sol Knight and the other rangers gathered power into their swords and they all released it. Miraculer got hit by all there power and she ended up being destroyed. That was another win, one with all seven of them. The rangers demorphed and were really proud of this victory.
"Thanks so much for your help." Adrien said.
"Marinette was right. You're a cool dude." Nino said.
"Yes. I'm beginning to see we can work together." Sol Knight said and they were all glad to hear that. However, they heard someone clear their throat and spotted Chloe and Sabrina.
"Hello, Power Rangers." Chloe said. Things have now gotten out of control.
