"Incoming distress call originating from Triforia." DECA announced.
"Triforia? But why?" Tommy wondered.
Cassie turned over to a console. "Good question. Let's find out." She replied and then pressed a few buttons. She activated the screen and the image of Earth was replaced by the image of Trey of Triforia, also known as the Gold Ranger.
The image of Trey spoke immediately. "Rangers, we have been attacked by powers of unknown origin. I have been able to stand up to them, but I am weakening and they are slowly prevailing. We need help, and you are the only ones that I can think of to turn to help. If you get this message." The screen then went blank, the transmission cut.
Andros looked over at Carlos. "Carlos, set a course for Triforia, maximum speed." He ordered. Carlos nodded and turned toward navigation.
"Do you think The Wizard is the one attacking Triforia?" Kat asked.
"It has to be." Rocky answered.
"Why would The Wizard spend all of this time attacking Earth and weakening us and then attack another world?" Zhane questioned.
"Not sure." Karone was the one to answer. "Maybe it's one of his forces. Or maybe there is something there he could use to destroy us. Either way."
TJ looked over at Jason. "Will Cora be ready to help us when we arrive at Triforia?" He asked.
"I don't think wild horses could keep her from helping us." Jason responded.
"Alpha might though." Tommy reminded his friend.
"We'll reach Triforia in about three hours." Carlos added.
"She should be getting out of the infirmary about then." Jason told them all. "So I would imagine she'll join us. And we will need her help, if what Trey is saying is true. But we'll have to keep our eye on her."
"No argument there." Ashley assured.
"Deca, let us know when we reach Triforia. Let's get down to the infirmary and let Cora and Alpha know what is going on. And start planning out our next move." Andros said.

"The attack seems to be going as planned. The Gold Ranger was even able to send out the distress call as you expected." Darkconda told The Wizard, using a misty screen to communicate this information to him.
"Good." The Wizard said. "They should arrive in just enough time for the grand finale that our new ally will deliver." He then switched gears. "Any luck locating the Alchemist?"
Darkconda shook his head. "Not yet. But we will find him." He responded.
"Very well, keep me informed of your progress if you learn anything before we are finished with Triforia." The Wizard ordered and then his image dissolved into the mist.
**********************************************************************
Kimberly and the two Purple Rangers turned in surprise when the doors opened and all of the Rangers walked in. Contrary to her statement Cora had not been able to fall asleep and smiled to see them all here. "I really don't need a homecoming." She joked, and even managed to smile a bit.
The Rangers gave a brief smile in return but then Andros shook his head. "We have a problem. We just received a distress call from Triforia. They're under attack. We're on our way to help them." He reported.
"The Wizard?" Kimberly questioned.
"We think so, but we're still confused as to why he would devote all this effort against us and then suddenly attack Triforia." Rocky said.
"Trey wasn't able to tell us all of what was going on, he was cut off during the transmission." Cassie added.
"Um, who is Trey?" Cora asked.
"Oh, right. Before your time. Forgot." Kimberly apologized. "Trey is a Power Ranger from another world. The Gold Ranger. He came to help us.well them," she pointed over to Tommy, Rocky, Amber and Kat. "But we had to pass the power temporarily onto Jason, but after a while they took their toll on him and Trey received back the Gold Ranger powers and went back home." She explained.
"And hasn't been heard from until now." Amber added.
"Actually, Rita and Zedd had apprehended Trey, as well as the Phantom Ranger, when Dark Specter had launched his invasion of Earth. Before he was destroyed and I.you know, took over." Karone reluctantly volunteered.
A moment of silence followed before Alexis broke it. "So, if it isn't the Wizard do you have any ideas who it could be?" she asked.
Karone shook her head. "No, unless it's Master Vile." She answered.
"We'll know when we reach Triforia in a few hours." TJ said.
"Good, I'll be out of here by then." Cora said.
"Just because you'd be released doesn't mean you should go get yourself into something this dangerous." Alpha pointed out. "It's just like I told Alexis, except she was still stronger than you."
"It doesn't matter. We're not dealing with one monster, we're dealing with a whole invasion force." Cora started.
"More than likely." Rocky interrupted her.
"I can't take that chance. If I can help, then I can't pass it down. No matter the risk to me." She finished as if she had never been interrupted.
"Got to admire her guts." Carlos admitted.
"If not her common sense." Alpha replied. "Oh, all right. Providing you seem healthy enough, you can go." He then turned to look at the rest of the Rangers. "We won't be there for several hours, so I suggest you all use this chance to rest up."
**********************************************************************
Kat stopped by her quarters for a quick shower. After she got out, dried herself and put on clean clothes, she started on her way out and back to the bridge.
She stopped though at her table and looked down. On the table were several of her swimming awards, which she had won prior to her accident. Even though Kimberly had helped her get over her fear of water, which resulted after the accident, Kat had not tried to get back into the sport.
She picked up the first trophy she had won, at the age of six, and looked over it smiling. She remembered how happy she had been when she won it. All of that had been before being a ranger, but part of her still felt as if that meant more than being a Ranger did. Or maybe it just meant more because being a ranger had also symbolized the end of her innocence. When she could lay claim to not knowing the horrors that other beings could inflict on the world.
She set her first trophy down and picked up her last, which she had won a month before the accident. She recalled telling her parents that she was going to do this forever. But destiny had argued her statement in a big way. After the accident she had not only developed a fear of water but had also spent almost a month trying to regain her energy in order to do something as simple as a walk around the mall. She had been that tired during the recovery time.
She felt exhaustion overwhelm her as she had this thought, and she didn't even noticed when she lay back on her bed. And never registered when she fell asleep.
************************************************************************
As the Megaship sped toward Triforia, Ashley found that she could not prevent her mind from returning to the Countdown to Destruction. Andros had gone off to try to bring Karone back once and for all. She had been so afraid she would never see him again, but kept a brave front so he wouldn't feel guilty about leaving.
Of course the invasion had made sure Ashley had little time to contemplate those thoughts.
Now however those thought came racing back to her as they made their way to Triforia to face a force that could be stronger than Dark Specter's had ever been.
"Penny for your thoughts?" Rocky asked.
"What? Oh, I was just thinking." She told him.
"About?" Rocky prodded.
"The countdown to destruction. I can't help but feel that we're about to be facing something that could be two times worse than that, Wizard related or not. And I can't escape the feeling that we all won't be coming back." She revealed.
"Don't say that." Rocky told her. "We'll all come back alive and well."
"I hope so." Ashley said, but doubt never the less showed in her voice.
************************************************************************
Jason entered the infirmary just as Cora was getting up from the bed. Alpha seemed less than happy about her insistence to move, but was not saying anything.
"Should you be up?" Jason asked her as he came beside her.
Cora shrugged. "Probably not. But I can't just lie around while we're about two hours from our next battle, which may be worse than any we've.I've been in." She informed him.
"I can understand that." Jason admitted. "I just hope fatigue doesn't catch up to you, especially during the battle."
"I don't think it will, I certainly hope not." She replied. Then she looked down a little and asked, this time her voice quieter, "That kiss on the forehead.did it mean anything?"
Jason looked into her eyes. "Did you want it to?" He asked her.
After a moments hesitation she nodded a bit. "Yes, I do." She confided.
Jason wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close to him. "Well, good. I want it to mean something too." He admitted to her. She pulled back from him and looked into his eyes with a smile on her face. "But we can't have much until after we know what's going on with Triforia."
Cora nodded in understanding. "I get that. Whatever our enemy is pulling off is bigger than us." She agreed, then sat back on the bed to make it easier for Alpha to confirm her health. "So where do we stand? Do we know anything else?"
Jason shook his head. "Nothing. Carlos has made some long range scans but we have nothing to show for it." He told her.
"You're about as healthy as you're going to get, considering you won't stop and rest." Alpha told Cora. "You're free to go."
Cora stood up a little shakily and Jason came to help steady her. "Come on, let's get you something to eat before we get to Triforia." He told her and then smiled, "How does pizza sound to you?
Cora smiled. "Like a slice of heaven."
************************************************************************
Kat was surrounded by fire. It was everywhere. She heard someone calling out for help. She turned to only find a figure that she couldn't see, let alone recognize, and herself.
She started to make her way over to the figure when she saw something dodge into the flames. She turned and found a figure standing in the fire. She could see nothing recognizable about the figure. Then it raised its arm at her and she noticed it was a flamethrower. It aimed at her, and she screamed as it shot the flame at her.
Kat's scream pierced the quiet of her quarters, and she bolted up from her bed, looking for both figures for a second before realizing she was on the Megaship. All was quiet for a minute before the doors opened and Cassie came in.
Cassie noticed the fear in her eyes and rushed to her side. "Kat, are you okay? What happened?" She asked her.
"I.I had a dream.more like a nightmare. I was caught in a fire. Someone was calling to me for help.I think. There was figure, it was responsible for lighting the fire. It tried to fry me before I woke up.at least I think it was me but I have never been caught in a fire before." She tried to quickly, yet hastily, explain to the Pink Space Ranger.
"It's okay. Your fine, you're safe." Cassie assured her, not realizing that safety would probably fall to nothing once they reached Triforia.
Kat took a deep breath and brushed some hair from her face. "I'm okay, I was just a little freaked." She told her friend.
"I decided to come check on you after you didn't report to the bridge. We're about two hours away, and Zhane thinks we may have to prepare for some space fights about an hour before we get there." Cassie said.
"Well, let's head up to the bridge. And please don't mention this to anyone else." She requested.
Cassie had her doubts, but decided to honor the request. Especially considering there were bigger things to deal with right now. "Okay, let's go."
***********************************************************************
A tense hour passed on the bridge as they came closer to Triforia. Tommy had noticed Kat looked a little upset, and he had tried to inquire but she said nothing was wrong. Tommy chose not to press it at this point.
A few minutes afterwards Jason and Cora joined them on the bridge. Carlos reported nothing in sensor range.
"Maybe they want us to come." Karone guessed.
'That'd be my guess." Alexis agreed. "The question is why do they want us to come?" No one was able to answer her question.
It seemed to be forever before TJ reported, "We've just come into orbit." His voice caused everyone to jump slightly.
"On screen." Andros ordered.
On the screen was Triforia. Nothing seemed out of place but they all knew something wasn't right. Tommy looked to Amber, who had taken sensors. "Do you detect anything?"
Amber shook her head. "Not in orbit." She then paused and looked over at her console. "I am detecting a monster attacking what I believe to be a city. It's with." She drifted.
"It's with?" Rocky pressed.
"A phalanx of Tengu warriors." Amber finished.
"Tengu, but they were used by Zedd and Rita, they were destroyed during the Countdown to Destruction." Tommy said.
"Or so we thought. Don't forget that Rito bought them with him. And we have no clue where he found them." Andros pointed out.
"No more talk. I say we go down and get our answers." Zhane said.
"I agree." Zack said.
Jason and Andros exchanged glances and then nodded. "Let's do it!" "It's Morphin Time!" "Let's Rocket!"
"Orange Ranger Power!" "Purple Ranger Power!" "White Ranger Power!" "Green Ranger Power!" "Black Ranger Power!" "Pink Ranger Power!" "Blue Ranger Power!" "Yellow Ranger Power!" "Red Ranger Power!"
************************************************************************
The Space and Essence rangers appeared on the surface of Triforia. Over a dozen Tengu warriors immediately attacked them.
"So is there any doubt now?" Amber asked as she used her lighting strike to take them out.
"None." Andros confirmed. "But there will be more where those came from."
An explosion erupted in front of them and they raced to the scene only to find Trey on his knees. They ran to his side.
"Are you alright?" Kat asked him.
Trey nodded. "I'm fine. But we don't have much time." He answered.
"Actually your out of time Gold Ranger." Said a monster. The Rangers turned to face him, and Jason and Kimberly let out a gasp.
"It can't be." Kimberly whispered.
"Looks like it." Jason said. "It looks like King Sphinx all right."
"Well, well. More Power Rangers." King Sphinx said. "The more the merrier. Prepare for your end." He then raised his wand and fired it at the rangers.
Tommy got in front of the blast and played a note of the flute. His shield reflected the beam. "We've gotten a lot better since you were around. And we're going to prove it." He told the monster.
Cassie pulled out her Satellite Stunner and Ashley pulled out her Star Slinger and the two girls hit King Sphinx. It allowed Amy to take Saba, leap off of Amber's shoulder and strike King Sphinx.
"Let's form the power blaster." Jason told the others.
Zack placed down the power axe. Kat placed her power bow on top the axe. Kimberly placed the power daggers on either side of the bow. Rocky placed his power lance on either side of the power daggers, and finally Jason placed the power sword on top of the axe. They all took it hand.
"Lock on and fire!" The rangers caught out. The beam launched from the axe part of the power blaster and struck King Sphinx. He fell easily, and an explosion followed.
"If only the other monsters will be this easy." Karone commented.
"That was only a test, Power Rangers. Now the real fight begins." Said a voice from the distance. They turned to see a red figure standing among some rubble. Though they were to far away to tell, everyone thought they knew whom the figure was. He was even more of a shock that King Sphinx.
"Lord Zedd." Tommy said.
Has Lord Zedd returned? Who is the Alchemist? Has The Wizard aligned with the attackers of Triforia or is he up to something different? Stay tuned.
"Incoming distress call originating from Triforia." DECA announced.
"Triforia? But why?" Tommy wondered.
