Female 2: what is it? What's happening?
The light disappears and the dragon rangers gasp.
Greg: it can't be.
John: what who is it?
Psyclone, Morticai, Deathstroke and Reckor each kneel in respect.
Kate: Omegor!
The camera pans up to show Omegor standing there.
Rose: wait who?
Jackie: our villain
The rangers all raise their weapons except for Kate.
Omegor: (looking at rangers and laughing) I see that 10,000 years haven't changed you humans
Brandon: you haven't changed either Omegor.
Omegor: why don't you just save yourselves the trouble and give me the box.
Jackie: no!
Omegor snaps his fingers and all the rangers armor disappears.
Omegor: I'll only say this once more. Give me the box now.
The rangers all put up their fists, ready to fight.
Kate: (stepping forward) no! (to rangers) whatever happens protect the box at all costs.
Rangers: right
Kate: ancient battle mode
Kate's battle armor appears
Omegor: fine then have it your way.
Armor, similar to Kate's, except black and crimson, appears on Omegor.
Kate: let's do this
163
They each hold out their hand and an axe appears. They then charge at each other. The two meet in a clash of axes. Sparks start flying as the battle continues.
Reckor: (to himself) now's my chance
He slowly stands up and lunges at Shan, who is still carrying the box. Shane is barely able to dodge in time.
Reckor: damn it!
Shane: nice try
While the rangers are distracted, Psyclone sneaks up behind Shane and hits him surprising him. As a result Shane drops the box. The rangers, and generals, watch as the box, seemingly, falls in slow motion.
John: no
The box hits the ground and bursts open.
Rebel Base:
All of the rangers rush outside to find the campus in chaos.
Greg: well some things never change I guess.
Laura: nope
The rangers draw their swords and charge in to help the rebels.
Monster: (to Pyrax) I told you they would be here
Pyrax: looks like you were right Hare Splitter.
Hare Splitter: I guess I should join in on the fun
He then splits into multiple exact copies of himself and charges into the battle.
Pyrax: looks like he has things handled here.
Pyrax then teleports away, leaving Hare Splitter and the drazors to deal with the rebels.
Keeper: (hiding) hmm interesting.
Present Day:
The box hits the ground and bursts open. For a moment nothing happens.
Omegor: (confused) empty?
164
Kate: huh?
All of a sudden nine shadows emerge from the box and circle the battlefield.
Omegor: (laughing) yes! Be free my brothers and sisters
Brandon S.: shit!
Jackie: that's not good.
Morticai: you have failed rangers
The nine shadows then fly away.
Omegor: return to the ship
All five of them teleport away. The rangers then regroup.
Kate: power down
Mack: well that could've gone better
Kate: agreed
John: what were those things?
Kate: they are the shadow dragons.
Rose: shadow dragons?
Kate: in this world there is a balance of light and darkness. There are ten spirits of light and ten of darkness. The ancients betrayed the shadow dragons and sealed them inside of Pandora 's Box.
Alex: and the spirits of light?
Kate: they bonded with my team
Brandon: (thinking) wait you said there were twenty spirits right?
Kate: correct
John: there are nine rangers bonded to spirits.
Kate: right
Hartford: so where's the final one?
165
?:
The scene shifts to what looks like an office building. We see a young lady walking around among the desks. On her upper arm we see what appears to be the mark of the People of the Dragon. She approaches one of the desks carrying a folder.
?: here's the file you asked for Rebecca.
Rebecca: (taking folder) thank you Tiffany
Tiffany: your welcome
Hartford's House:
The scene switches back to Harford's house. Everyone is inside sitting in the living room.
Mack: so what happens now?
Kate: two things. First we need to locate the final light spirit.
Brandon: or who it has bonded with.
Kate: right and second we need to find and re-capture all nine of the shadow dragons
Mack's team looks at each other and nods
Rose: we're in
Kate: this is our battle not yours
Male 3: these things threaten the Earth right?
Jackie: yes
Male 2: then it's our battle too
Female 2: right
Brandon: but
Mack: once a ranger
Overdrive rangers: always a ranger
Realizing they won't give in Kate accepts their help.
Greg: so how do we find them?
166
Kate: well the shadow dragons will be easy. It's the tenth light spirit that'll give us the most trouble.
Male 1: how do you figure?
Kate: (Alphor voice) the shadow spirits will take control of humans in order to destroy you.
The eight dragon rangers bow in respect. The Overdrive rangers look confused.
Kate: but the light spirit, for all we know, is secluded on the other side of the planet.
Alex: so how do we find it?
Kate: if it has bonded with a human they are probably unaware of it. But you can tell by the fact that they'll be marked with the mark of the dragon.
Rose: the mark of the dragon?
Greg: are you okay Kate?
Kate: (normal voice) yeah I'm fine
Hartford: what's the mark of the dragon?
Kate grabs a piece of paper off of the table and draws the triangle symbol. We see it's the same symbol that was on Tiffany's upper arm.
Male 3: (looking at paper) that's the mark of the dragon?
Brandon: yes
John: you've seen it before?
He looks quickly at Hartford, who shakes his head.
Male 3: no never
Jackie notices this but doesn't say anything.
Conference Room:
The scene shifts back to the conference room. We see Brian, Nancy, Bob, Kim and Mike sitting at the table. Suddenly the door opens and Tiffany enters the room.
Tiffany: you wanted to see me Mr. Anderson?
Brian: ah yes please come in and sit down.
Tiffany sits down at the table.
167
Kim: it's time we told you about your past
?:
The scene shifts to what appears to be an arcade. We see the Dragon Rangers sitting at a table.
Brandon: so when is the final game again?
Kate: (taking paper out of pocket) 6:30
Brandon checks his phone.
Brandon: its 6:28 we should get ready to head in.
Jackie: so what team are we going for this time?
John: green
Kate: green it is
They walk up to a desk area where a line has formed in front of a door. They get up to the door and the each hand the person their ticket. They listen to the rules and grab their vests.
Employee: okay guys you can head in
Everyone heads inside the room and the rangers run up the nearby ramp.
Kate: (to herself) perfect now it's time to put our teamwork to the test
Vests: get ready to start
Music begins to play in the room and the vests start flashing. Indicating the game has begun. The rangers take a corner and prepare to hold it.
Kate: (quietly) game time
She walks over a short distance away and raises her hand in front of her.
Kate: (quietly) dra(y)…
She stops suddenly as she notices drazors running around downstairs
Kate: (confused) what the?
Suddenly we hear people start screaming. Kate rejoins her team
Ny: what's going on?
168
Kate: drazors
John: monster too or no?
Kate: no idea let's morph just in case.
They take their vests off and put them in the corner.
Brandon: ready?
Others: ready
Rangers: dragon thunder power up hah
Kate: white ranger dragon power
Brandon: okay here's the plan. John, Greg and Kate you three get everyone to safety.
All three: right
Brandon: the rest of us will deal with the drazors.
John, Greg and Kate go and start getting people out of the room. Working together, the rangers get everyone out safely and deal with the drazors. They return to where they left the vests.
Rangers: power down
They put the vests back on and exit the room. An employee sees them and approaches.
Employee: thank god are you okay?
Jackie: a little shaken up but fine
Employee: since the last game was interrupted you can play once more on us.
Kate: thanks
All of a sudden we hear an explosion outside. The ranger's communicators go off.
Greg: go ahead Alpha
Alpha: rangers there are (static) outside
The rangers look at eachother
John: we didn't catch that Alpha. What's outside?
There is no response.
169
Jackie: something's not right.
Shane: let's check outside
Kate: you guys go
Laura: what about you Kate?
Kate: I have to go check on Alpha.
Brandon: be careful
Kate: you guys as well
The rangers run out of the room and Kate teleports away. This surprises the other people in the room.
Power Chamber:
Kate arrives at the Power Chamber to find it dark.
Kate: Alpha?
Chaos: behind you white ranger
Kate turns around and comes face to face with Chaos
Kate: who are you?
Chaos: my name is Chaos the most powerful of the seven elementals
Kate: what did you do to Alpha?
Chaos: the robot is unharmed. I just needed him out of the way.
Kate hears an explosion. She looks at the viewing globe. Due to the camera angle we can't see what's happening.
Kate: shit!
Chaos looks at the viewing globe and laughs.
Chaos: looks like your friends are in trouble you better go help them.
He then teleports away.
Kate: (hesitating) ah! I can check later
She then teleports away as well.
170
The rangers exit the building to find a battle already in progress. We see the flame rangers battling rangers we don't know.
Brandon: what the fuck?
Kate arrives a moment later and is as surprised as the others.
Kate: uh… what's going on here?
Greg: no idea
A look at the battle shows that the Flame Rangers are no match for the mysterious rangers.
John: I think we should help them.
The rangers come to their senses
Brandon: right ready?
Others: ready
Rangers: dragon thunder power up hah
Kate: white ranger dragon power
They draw their swords and rush in to help their flame ranger counterparts. Brandon arrives just in time to block a fatal attack on Tyler.
Tyler T.: thanks
Brandon: no problem
He then pushes the red ranger away
Red: (laughing) just who I wanted to see
Brandon: well I'm here
Red: not for long
Brandon: (to Tyler) step aside I've got this
Tyler T.: be careful he's a tough one.
Brandon: thanks. Don't go too far you have some explaining to do after this is over.
Tyler T.: right
171
Tyler and his team move out of the way. They don't, however, power down.
Red: let's do this ranger.
The battle begins slowly with both sides exchanging test blows. Both sides appear evenly matched and things start getting more intense.
Nathan: wow they're pretty good.
Zack: they're doing better than we did
?: (behind them) of course they are
The flame rangers jump, turning around and drawing their swords. They see the emerald ranger standing there.
Ashley: who are you?
?: (ignoring question) both sides are bonded with ancient spirits. One side the spirits of light. The other…
Tyler M.: the spirits of darkness?
?: correct
A look at the battle shows that both sides have stepped up their game.
Brandon: (to himself) it's time to change things up
He pushes a button on his morpher
Brandon: SPD emergency
He is surrounded by a light. When it disappears he is wearing the same ranger armor future Greg uses.
Red: my turn
He is suddenly surrounded by a bright light. In the distance we also hear a roar.
Kate: what the?
Kate suddenly hears a voice in her head.
Alphor: it can't be
Kate: (thinking) what is it Alphor
Before Alphor can respond the source of the noise appears. A red and black colored dragon.
172
Tyler T.: woah!
Ashley: that thing is huge
Greg: shit!
The red ranger jumps into his zord and it transforms into battle mode.
Red: phantom dragon zord battle mode
He then goes to step on Brandon, who dodges out of the way in time.
Brandon: I need dragon zord power now
The red dragon appears. Brandon pushes a button on his morpher and grows. He then pushes another button and combines with his zord.
Red: let's do this ranger
The two draw their swords and the real battle begins.
Back on the Ground:
Not wanting to get crushed the rangers move a good distance away to watch the battle.
John: they seem pretty evenly matched
Kate: that's because their spirits are two sides of the same coin. The same rule applies to the other nine phantom spirits and us. Just then the emerald ranger walks up behind them.
?: excuse me.
The dragon rangers turn around.
?: I was told to find you
They then power down and we see that it is Tiffany. She shows the mark of the dragon to them.
Tiffany: and show you this
The dragons then power down.
and show you this
The dragons then power down.
Jackie: huh that was easy. We found all of our targets at the same time.
173
Kate: who are you?
Tiffany: my name is Tiffany Berndt. But you used to know me by a different name.
Kate: (gasps) Eterna!?
Tiffany: it's good to see you all again.
John: who?
Greg: she helped us fight Omegor 10,000 years ago.
Brielle: she's bonded with the emerald dragon spirit
Shane: how'd you get here?
Tiffany: after you guys left Draconia things went bad fast.
Ny: the purging right?
Tiffany: yes. Well one day I was hiding from a mob. Suddenly the warrior appeared.
John: the warrior?
Greg: that's who sent us to the future. We don't know his real name.
Tiffany: he opened up the time vortex for me and sent me to the present. Once here I met a man named Brian Anderson. After that my memories of that day end.
Kate: it's good to see you again Eterna.
Tiffany: (looking around) wait where's Radboud?
Shane: (pointing) up there
She looks to see Brandon and the red ranger fighting.
Tiffany: why aren't you helping him?
John: this is his fight not ours
Tiffany turns to look at the flame rangers.
Tiffany: (pointing) who are they?
Jackie: no idea.
Brandon appears to be getting tired. Tiffany takes a step forward.
174
Tiffany: he needs help
Kate places her hand on Tiffany's shoulder.
Kate: this isn't your battle
Tiffany pulls free of Kate's grip
Tiffany: yes it is. Emerald Ranger dragon power. I need dragon zord power now
The emerald dragon appears and Tiffany pushes a button on her morpher. Like Brandon she grows and combined with her zord. She arrives in time to block an attack, that would most likely be fatal, aimed at Brandon.
Tiffany: not so fast
Red: huh?
Brandon: who are you?
Tiffany: a friend.
On the ground the blue ranger activates his communicator.
Blue: red it's time to leave
Red: right
He then exits his zord and it flies away. The mysterious rangers then teleport away. Brandon and Tiffany then return to their normal size and regroup with the others.
All 19 rangers: power down
Brandon: (to Tiffany) hey thanks for…
He seems to recognize Tiffany as he stops mid-sentence
Brandon: Eterna?!
Tiffany: Radboud!
They run at each other and hug.
Brandon: it's good to see you again
Brandon then seems to realize something
Brandon: I can't believe we've been friends all this time and neither of us realized it.
175
Kate: when we arrived here your memories were locked away with your real names as the key.
Brandon: (to Tiffany) when did you get here?
Before Tiffany can answer Brandon's communicator goes off.
Brandon: (confused) hello?
Omegor: how did you like my siblings rangers?
Kate: Omegor!
Omegor: (laughing) yes it's me Willow.
Kate: this is a secure line how did you connect to it?
Omegor continues laughing as the transmission cuts off.
Tiffany: so it's true then? He really is back?
Ny: unfortunately
John: and out for blood
Tiffany: im in then
Shane: good we need all the help we can get
The Flame Rangers, still morphed, approach our rangers
Greg: oh yeah I forgot about you guys
Brandon: who are you?
Tyler T.: you know us.
Flame Rangers: power down
Our rangers are surprised by the flame rangers identities.
Brielle: how did you guys…?
Tyler M.: become rangers?
Jackie: well yeah.
