Author's Note: I want to apologize for the delay between the last part and this one. I have been working a lot lately. And with Thanksgiving I haven't had a chance to get to the library to type more. This section will, most likely, be the last one released this year. So have a safe and happy holiday and I'll see you again in 2016.

Several days later:

The scene shifts to Trucchis. A closer look shows us that John is outside collecting carriages, Greg is supervising, Ny is at the courtesy booth, Kate is working in the meat department, and Brandon is working in Grocery. It seems to be business as usual. Brandon is stocking shelves when his communicator goes off.

John: (over communicator) uh guys we may have a problem.

Kate: (next aisle over) what's wrong John?

All of a sudden we hear an explosion and the store shakes.

Ny: (over intercom) attention Trucchis shoppers this store is now under lockdown.

Brandon/Kate: (over communicator) on my way John.

Other rangers: on my way

Brandon, Ny, Kate and Greg rush outside to join John. The other four rangers join them a minute later. A look at the monster reveals it is a woman carrying a crescent moon scepter.

?: ah rangers so good of you to join me.

Jackie: wait she's a monster? She looks human.

Kate: never mind that Jackie. Ready?

Others: ready

All: dragon thunder power up hah

Kate: white ranger dragon power

For some reason the morph fails and the nine of them look at themselves in confusion.

Kate: what the fuck?

John: why didn't it work?

?: (laughing) this will be easy

105

Ny: what do we do now?

Kate: (reaching under her shirt) Brandon take this

She takes, what looks like, a key out from under her shirt. She takes it off and hands it to Brandon.

Brandon: (taking it) uh what's this?

Kate: a key. Go to the time clock and hit the manager button. Insert the key and a doorway will open up. Go inside the room and grab nine of each item in that room. There should be three different items in there. John, Jackie go with him.

Both: right

All three rush inside the store and go out back to the time clock. Brandon does what Kate told him and the door to the armory opens up. The three of them enter the armory.

Jackie: (looking around) woah

John: it's huge

Brandon: (holding in surprise) we need to do this quickly.

Both: (coming to senses) right

The three of them each grab a bag from beside the door and split up. Brandon grabs nine of the morpherlike devices, Jackie grabs nine swords and John grabs nine blasters. The three meet up back at the entrance.

Brandon: are we all set?

Both: yeah

Brandon: then let's go rejoin our friends

They rush back outside to find the others on the ground surrounded by drazors. They each draw a blaster and shoot the drazors. The others get up and they regroup.

Kate: did you get them?

John: yes

Kate: then let's do this

The nine of them take the morpherlike devices out and place them on the wrist opposite their morpher. Then they buckle on a sword and holster the blaster.

106

Kate: okay guys do what I do

Others: right

Kate: (touching device) battle warrior mode

A light surrounds Kate. When it disappears she is decked out in white colored ninjetti robes, similar to what Radboud and the other warriors donned in the dream scene.

Kate: do it.

Others: battle warrior mode

They are also surrounded by a bright light. When it disappears they are decked out in robes the same color as their ranger armor.

?: well this is a surprise. Drazors attack

Black and Crimson colored drazors appear and charge at the rangers.

Kate: be careful guys these robes won't protect us as well as our ranger armor does.

The rangers draw their swords and charge at the drazors. Halfway there Kate raises her right hand in front of her.

be careful guys these robes won't protect us as well as our ranger armor does.

The rangers draw their swords and charge at the drazors. Halfway there Kate raises her right hand in front of her.

Kate: dra(y)zors

White colored drazors appear and meet the drazors head on.

Greg: good work Kate now we can just focus on the monster

?: you know I may be a monster but I do still have a name.

John: (swinging sword) oh yeah? What is it?

?: (blocking attack) it's Illuminator

Greg: (swinging) good now we know the name of our next victim

Illuminator: don't count on it

107

The battle continues for some time. Soon both sides start to tire out. All of a sudden a blaster bolt flies from the store's roof toward the combatants. It hits the ground barely missing Jackie.

Jackie: woah what the hell was that?

Another bolt hits the ground, this time barely missing Brandon.

Brandon: take cover

The rangers and Illuminator take cover behind some parked cars. They search the roof for the monster. Brandon suddenly spots something.

Brandon: (pointing) there

All of a sudden a blaster bolt takes Brandon in the head and he drops to the ground.

Rangers: Brandon!

Greg rushes over to Brandon and checks his pulse

Ny: is he….?

Greg: he's dead.

Kate: this ends here

Kate peeks over the hood of her car and sees the monster. It is a demon like monster holding a sniper blaster. She takes aim and fires her blaster as another blaster bolt takes her in the head as well.

Jackie: Kate!

A quick pulse check reveals that Kate is also dead.

Shane: did she get it?

Illuminator closes her eyes, raises her staff and starts speaking in a different language.

Illuminator: (opening eyes) yes I don't sense anything up there.

All of a sudden a beam of light shoots down. When it disappears there is a warrior, with a sword strapped to his back, standing there.

?: so you seven still live? Seems Avengor isn't as good as he said he was.

Brielle: (raising blaster) you monster.

?: I was just following orders. I was to collect the morphers after Avengor took care of you.

108

Brielle fires her blaster at the warrior. The warrior draws his sword and easily deflects the blaster bolt. The other rangers also draw their blasters and aim them at the warrior.

?: come on now is all this really necessary?

John: your friend killed two of our friends so yes, yes it is

?: very well if that's the way you want to do this

The warrior suddenly disappears.

The warrior suddenly disappears.

Greg: (looking around) where did he go?

He appears behind Shane.

?: right here

The warrior stabs Shane through the back and disappears again.

Greg: he's too fast

Power Chamber:

The scene shifts to the Power Chamber where we see eight of the rangers lying unconscious on the floor. Suddenly Brandon sits up breathing heavily. Kate is nowhere to be seen.

Brandon: (looking around) what the fuck? How did I get here?

Brandon spots Alpha standing nearby.

Brandon: (standing up) Alpha!?

He runs over to Alpha. A look at him shows that he is powered down at the moment.

Brandon: Alpha?

Suddenly Shane sits up as well

Shane: (looking around) what the fuck?

Brandon rushes over to check on Shane.

Brandon: are you okay Shane?

109

Shane: yeah. What happened? One minute I was at Trucchis fighting a swordsman and you were dead. Next thing I know I'm waking up here.

Brandon: no idea. Let's try to wake Alpha up. Maybe he'll know what's going on.

The two of them go over to Alpha.

Shane: (knocking on Alpha's head) is he dead?

Brandon: no I think he's just deactivated.

The two search him until Brandon finally finds a switch.

Brandon: ah here we go

He flips the switch and Alpha suddenly lights up.

Alpha: aye yi yi yi yi what happened?

Shane: Alpha are you okay?

Alpha: (jumping) oh Shane, Brandon you're okay

Brandon: yeah. What happened Alpha?

Before Alpha can respond Jackie and Greg both sit up and look around. Shane and Brandon rush over to check on them.

Brandon: Greg are you okay?

Shane: Jackie are you okay?

Both: yeah I'm fine

Jackie: what happened?

Alpha: (coming over) you guys were hanging out after work. All of a sudden you all just collapsed to the floor at the same time. Then a jester like monster walked in, grabbed Kate, and teleported away.

Shane: so how did you get deactivated?

Alpha: I don't know?

Greg: so what do we do? How are we going to find Kate she could literally be anywhere.

Brandon: I know how

Greg/Jackie: how?

110

Brandon: we're going to use the computer to track her morpher

Greg: do you know how to do that Brandon.

Brandon: no. but we do know someone who know a lot more about computers than any of us

Jackie: (thinking) Ryan!

Greg: yeah if anyone can figure out how to work this computer it'll be Ryan.

?:

The scene shifts to the inside of a jail cell. Or at least what appears to be a jail cell. We see Kate lying on the floor unconscious. It appears that she is still in the dream world. Suddenly she sits up and looks around.

Kate: (confused) where am I?

All of a sudden Krebons emerges from the shadows and approaches the cell.

Krebons: Ah white ranger you're finally awake

Kate: (trying communicator) Rangers can you hear me?

Krebons: (laughing) don't bother we're jamming the signal in and out.

All of a sudden a figure in black and crimson armor, similar to Psyclone and Morticai's, appears. Krebons kneels as he approaches the cell.

Kate: I should've known you'd show up. It's been a long time Raphael.

?: power down. How long has it been sister?

Kate: 10,026 years

Raphael: you haven't changed a bit since that day

Kate: nor have you

Raphael: and it's Omegor. I gave up that pathetic human name years ago

Kate: (to herself) I promise I'll find a way to save you one day big bro.

Trucchis:

The scene shifts back to Trucchis. It appears to be the real one since there is no battle going on outside. Brandon is sitting on the bench outside waiting. A male employee exits the store and Brandon stands up.

111

Brandon: hey Ryan

Ryan: hey Brandon day off?

Brandon: yeah. Hey can I talk to you privately?

Ryan: sure

The two of them go around the side of the store to talk.

Ryan: so what's up?

Brandon: listen im about to tell you something that you can't tell anyone ever okay. Can you keep a secret?

Ryan: of course

Brandon: okay. Dragon thunder power up hah

Ryan: (surprised) wow you're a power ranger?

Brandon: yeah

Ryan: what do you need?

Brandon tells Ryan that Kate has been kidnapped and that they need his help to find her.

Brandon: so that's the situation will you help us?

Ryan: of course if Kate's in danger I want to help

The two of them teleport to the power chamber. When they arrive it's to find the other rangers also awake and on their feet. Also we see that Brandon S. and the borgs are also there.

Kelsey: so Ryan agreed to help?

Ryan: of course anything for the power rangers.

Brandon walks over to Greg.

Brandon: (indicating borgs) what're they doing here?

Greg: we're going to need all the help we can get if we're going to rescue Kate from Omegor's forces

Drew: besides we need to discuss why you didn't call us when you went to face Vilor.
