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.
