Hey everyone, sorry that I haven't updated, I've been very stressed and I guess depressed lately. Which is why I sort of slacked off on all of my stories. I know I updated Power Rangers Trident recently and that was to show that I haven't given up on these stories I'm slowly starting to feel a little better and am writing again and I have actually started writing again. So hopefully next time I upload I'll have more than one chapter ready to upload before you get nothing again. Thanks for understanding and I can't wait to see what you guys think of this chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own Power Rangers, the rights belong to Hasbro. I only own Kendrick Chambers, Cassandra StClaire is owned by lCrzy, Nora Riley belongs to Stormasius and finally Katherine "Kathy" Ravens belongs to decode9.
"Are you sure about letting that kid help, I mean he's been nothing but trouble since he joined us" Hunter said as he looked at Tommy.
The veteran ranger let out a sigh of annoyance before turning to face Hunter with a glare.
"You know what? You have some nerve being a prick to that kid, if you haven't noticed Hunter, we're all in the same boat here! Me, you, Blake, Ryan and Kendrick were forced to do what we did to our friends by our former masters." Tommy said angrily as he turned slightly and picked up the trans portal device. "Besides he's already beating himself up about it, so you attacking him isn't helping" Tommy added before opening up a portal.
"Where are you going?" Hunter asked.
"Going somewhere I don't want to go but have to if we're going to even have a chance of beating The Arbiter. Don't worry, I have a friend stopping by who is going to handle things while I'm gone" Tommy said before stepping through the portal.
When he stepped out the other side of the portal, he found himself in a brightly lit room which was the opposite of how he remembers the room from years ago, but it was a nice change. The sound of a door opening caught his attention and in walked a dark-haired woman wearing a pink and black armor with a black cape.
"It must really be bad if you're here" she stated firmly when she saw Tommy standing there.
"I thought we could handle it but he's far stronger than anticipated" Tommy responded bluntly.
"You truly think he'd help you? You're part of the reason he's no longer in power" the woman responded crossing her arms.
Tommy let out a sigh, he knew she was right. The last thing he wanted to do was to go and ask a mad man for help, but he had no choice in the matter, so he nodded his head.
"Follow me then" she said before turning and walking out of the room with Tommy right behind her.

The three rangers quickly rolled out of the way evading The Arbiter as he came rushing towards them. They quickly got to their feet and raised their respective morphers into the air.
"Ready?" Cassie asked.
Kendrick and Nora both nodded their heads.
"It's Morphining Time!" Cassie called out.
"Unlock the legend!" she slammed her hand on the dial.
++READY!+++ called out Nora's morpher so she pulled back the globe, ++SET!++ the device cheered as she put a finger on the trigger on the side of the morpher.
"Star Charge!" She called out.
[Morphing Sequence]
Cassie stood on a pink platform all of her body exposed except her head, which was covered with white energy. It faded away revealing skin-tight white spandex. Bands of pink light covered her legs and arms turned into solid pink boots and gloves emblazed with a gold feather quilt. Bands of pink light then wrapped around her chest forming a pink sleeveless half robe edged with gold that went about six inches below the waist and seemed attached to the white part of the suit. Finally, bands of pink light formed around Cassie's head making a pink helmet and for the visor there was three V's stacked on top of each other.
White stars covered Nora as a white bodysuit covered her whole body except for her head. It was then that dark blue stars covered her chest a dark blue sleeveless vest with the emblem of a planet being orbited by two smaller planets adorned her chest in silver. Dark blue stars then gathered around her hands and legs forming dark blue boots and gloves with black rings around it while they were held in place by thick silver metal rings. A short dark blue skirt was held in place by a silver belt with the belt-buckle having the same symbol that's on the chest. A smooth dark blue helmet with fins on the side and top with a wavy visor form.
[End Morphing Sequence]
"Legacy of the pink. Lore Keeper Pink Ranger!" Cassie declared posing.
"Soul of the Aurora Songstress! Universe Blue!" Nora cried posing as well.
Kendrick looked at the girls who were now in their ranger forms then quickly realized that it was his turn to morph. He nervously reached up and pressed the button on his morpher.
"Green Ranger, Trident Power!" he yelled.
Kendrick becomes confused when nothing happens, so he tries again.
"Green Ranger, Trident Power!" he yelled again more firmly.
Again, nothing happened. He started to worry, if he couldn't morph then how was he going to help the others defeat Arbiter. He looked up to see both Cassie and Nora fight the intergalactic being and was surprised that they were actually holding their own against him. Unfortunately, just as it seemed like Nora and Cassie would be able to do some real damage to Arbiter, he quickly gained the upper hand as he deflected Cassie's attack by using his sword and kicked her to the side then quickly turned and grabbed Nora by the throat, lifting her up into the air. Kendrick stood there, paralyzed unable to do anything, he thought back to when he tried to help Blake when he almost got destroyed by Arbiter.
"Two down… seven to…" Arbiter started to say when suddenly he was blasted backwards making him drop Nora in the process.
Kendrick looked over to see Karone and Ryan, both fully morphed running towards them. Karone made her way towards the battle while Ryan ran over to where Kendrick was standing.
"Kid, you better morph" Ryan stated.
"I tried, it didn't work" Kendrick responded.
Meanwhile, Karone along with Cassie and Nora were taking the fight to The Arbiter, Karone brought her sword down upon Arbiter who quickly brought his own sword up to block the attack. The distraction allowed Cassie to run in and land an attack on Arbiter's midsection with one of her Sai's. Nora quickly followed up by leaping in and stabbed Arbiter in the shoulder with her trident. When she landed she pushed it in making him growl in pain. Ryan pulled out his Titanium laser and fired off a few rounds hitting The Arbiter in chest which shockingly knocked him down to the ground. The five rangers quickly regrouped then Karone pulled out the trans portal device and activated it so the five could quickly run through the portal getting away from The Arbiter for the time being.
(!)
Hunter jumped up to his feet as the portal opened and the five rangers stepped through back into the Dino Thunder lair. The four rangers powered down after Karone had made sure to close the portal so that The Arbiter couldn't follow.
"You guys look like hell" he said when he got a good look at Ryan and Karone who briefly fought The Arbiter before he located the location of Nora with the other two rangers.
"We had a little run-in with The Arbiter before we located Nora who was already with Cassie and Kendrick" Karone responded as she placed the trans portal device down so that it could charge up for the next time it was going to be needed.
"Where's Tommy?" Ryan asked as he looked around when he noticed that their leader was nowhere to be seen.
"I don't know, all he said was that he was going somewhere he didn't want to" Hunter responded.
"If he's gone how are supposed to locate The Arbiter's next target?" Kendrick asked.
"He said that he called in someone who could help us while he was gone" Hunter responded coldly.
"Who?" Cassie asked.
"That would be me" came a woman's voice from the entrance of the lair.
The six rangers turned their attention to see a woman around Tommy's age standing there with a smile on her face.
"Hi everyone, my name is Hailey and Tommy asked me to come while he was gone" the woman said as she walked over to the computer.
She placed her bag down then turned to face the six rangers, "All right so Tommy told me about this being called The Arbiter who is hunting former evil rangers down and destroying their morphers, am I right?" Hailey asked them and they all responded by nodding their heads telling her that she was right on the mark.
"So that's why that thing came after me?" Nora asked stepping forward.
"Unfortunately, yes" Ryan said before placing a hand on her shoulder, "But don't worry that won't happen" he added trying to reassure her.
This time Kendrick stepped forward.
"We do have a small problem, I… I can't morph" he said defeated.
Hunter let out a snort of annoyance which earned him a glare from the others.
"Shockingly, Tommy thought that could happen so he told me to send you to someone who might be able to help… hold on a second" Hailey said as she reached into her bag and pulled out a scroll of paper. She turned back around and handed it to Kendrick. "Go there and give it to the person you'll meet, they should be able to help you with your situation" she said with a smile.
"We still need to find out if there is someone else on The Arbiter's hit list" Karone said.
Nora's eyes went wide when she realized something.
"KATHY!" she shouted catching everyone off guard.
"I'm sorry but who's Kathy?" Hunter asked.
Nora facepalmed before answering the question.
"She's my teammate on my team, she was tricked into joining the Link Joker Armada but thankfully we were able to get her back" Nora said.
"Then we have to get back your universe" Ryan stated.
Nora shook her head.
"She's not there, her and the others are currently off world" Nora responded.
"Then we just search for her signature in a different timeline" Hailey said as she took a seat and started getting to work.
The six rangers stood there and watched as Hailey got to work, after waiting for a few moments, the computer made a sound.
"Got it" she said then grabbed the trans portal device and punched in the coordinates. "Okay so who's going?" she asked.
"I should definitely go, it would make it easier to explain to Kathy if she sees a familiar face" Nora said stepping forward. Karone and Hunter volunteered to go with Nora, so Hailey handed Karone the device then they stepped through.
When they were gone that's when Hailey turned to the remaining three.
"All so I'm going to need one of you to stay here to help out while someone goes with Kendrick" Hailey said.
"I'll stay, I need to rest from the fight with The Arbiter" Ryan said which meant that Cassie would be going with Kendrick.
"Ready?" Cassie asked Kendrick.
He nodded his head then the two teleported out of the cave.
(!)
Tommy and the woman stepped out of the elevator into the dungeon. Tommy looked around to see that it looked the same as it had. He followed the woman down the hall towards the end of the dimly lit hallway, they came to a stop when they reached the door at the end of the hall.
"Are you sure about this?" she asked him.
"I have to do this Kim" Tommy responded then opened the door and stepped inside. He closed the door behind him then turned to see a large glass cell in the middle of the room. He walked closer to see a man laying on the cot in the cell, he was throwing a ball up into the air and catching it. After a few tosses, the man caught the ball then sat up, he didn't look in Tommy's direction as he got up to his feet.
"You must be truly desperate to come to me for help" the man said with glee before turning around to come face to face with Tommy.
Standing in the cell was someone from Tommy's past.
The man's name was Lord Drakkon.
So I'm going to be honest, when I first thought about doing a spin-off involving Kendrick I had two different ideas. The currently storyline or a completely different one where Drakkon was the main villain instead. But I ultimately went with the Unworthy story. I also made a point to show that the rangers have a better chance of beating The Arbiter when they're morphed. That doesn't mean it's going to be easy but it'll give them an advantage.
Episode 4 will mostly be Nora, Karone & Hunter looking for Kathy with some more focused on Tommy talking with his evil half as I liked to call him.
Episode 5 will be showing Kendrick and Cassie meeting a mystery person who is connected to Power Rangers and have seen before in the TV Series. Plus the Beginning of the final battle will take place as well.
Episode 6: The Final Battle & Ending.
Special Addition: Tie-in to Power Rangers: Jungle Strike.
