The following night:

The scene shifts to the outside of Trucchis. The store is closed for the evening. We see Brandon sitting outside on a bench. Two employees, male and female, exit the store and approach Brandon who stands up. The male employee is John and the female employee is Jackie.

Brandon: ah John, Jackie thanks for meeting me.

Jackie: hey Brandon what's up? You said you needed to talk to us?

Brandon: yeah. Dragon thunder power up hah

Both of them gasp.

John: you're a power ranger?!

Jackie: wow!

Brandon: power down. Yes that's why I needed to talk to you

Jackie: what do you need?

Brandon: yesterday two of my teammates left the team. I would like the two of you to join in their places.

Both: I'd be honored.

Brandon takes the two morphers out of his pocket and hands them to John and Jackie. They both place them on their left wrist.

Brandon: John you will take on the role of my green ranger. And Jackie you will take on the role of my pink ranger.

John: sweet

Jackie: awesome

Both: dragon thunder power up hah

Their ranger armor appears.

Brandon: (into communicator) alright guys it's time for you to meet our two newest team members.

Rangers: on my way Brandon

The rest of the team, including Ian and Kelsey arrive a moment later. Ian and Kelsey, obviously, are wearing civilian clothes. However the other rangers are morphed.

99

Jackie: really they had to come morphed?

John: (indicating Ian and Kelsey) and why are they here?

Brandon: I don't know why they are morphed so don't look at me.

Kelsey: as for why we're here we're the ones you're replacing.

Kate: okay you two de-morph first

Both: power down

Their armor disappears.

Greg: I should've known it would be them you chose Brandon.

Ian: I approve

Kelsey: you chose wisely Brandon

John: ok it's your turn now

Others: power down

Their armor disappears and John and Jackie gasp

Jackie: well I knew that Kate was the white ranger but wow

Brandon: wait how did you know Kate was a ranger?

Kate: it happened during Omegor's divide and conquer attack.

Kate tells the others about her first battle as a ranger and how she blew her cover.

Ny: so you broke the ranger code on your first day?

Kate: not intentionally

Greg: but you still broke it

John: (interrupting) hey can we get this over with? I have to get home.

Apparently in the heat of the moment the rangers forgot about John and Jackie.

Kate: right sorry. We'll discuss this later guys. I'll take things from here.

The other rangers teleport away leaving Kate, John and Jackie there.

100

Kate: okay Alpha teleport the three of us there please.

The three of them are teleported away. However, unknown to them Psyclone was watching from a distance.

Psyclone: so they've changed rangers huh? Interesting. I must inform father of this.

Psyclone then teleports away.

Power Chamber:

Kate has initiated John and Jackie into the team. As the two are getting ready to leave the alarm starts going off.

Jackie: (covering ears) what's going on?

Kate: an attack

Kate presses a button on the console

Rangers: go ahead Kate

Kate: rangers report to the power chamber there's an attack

Rangers: on my way

The rangers arrive at the power chamber a moment later. They look at the viewing globe to see Vilor attacking.

Brandon: Vilor.

Ny: should we contact the Borgs?

Kate: no it's late let's handle this ourselves.

Jackie: the borgs?

Greg: we'll explain later.

Brandon: ready?

Others: ready

All: dragon thunder power up hah

Kate: white ranger dragon power

The nine of them then teleport to where Vilor is attacking.
