Lights began flashing inside the command center as several people were teleported in. They all looked around wondering how they got here; none of them were rangers any longer. "What's going on?" asked Rocky looking around as he saw many familiar faces and what looked to resemble a command center he once knew.
"You got me bro, last I checked the command center was destroyed," said Jason remembering T.J. and the others telling him about the attack years ago around the time when Zordon had been captured. Tommy stood still; he didn't look around almost as if he were afraid to. He knew what this meant; his dream had been a message. Kim turned looking at her husband knowing he had to tell them what was going on.
"Tommy," demanded Kim, Tommy turned looking at her, knowing what she wanted. "You have to tell them," said Kim being very direct with him. All attention fell on Tommy. They all looked at him questioningly. What was it that he knew, that they didn't?
"What's going on Tommy?" asked Adam stepping forward looking at his former leader.
"Yeah, you have to tell us," said Kat joining with Adam, needing to know. Aisha stepped forward sensing she knew what this was all about.
"It has something to do with, those break-ins doesn't it?" asked Aisha following the lead of the others. Too many questions were coming way to fast for Tommy to answer, and part of him really didn't want to answer them, afraid that would mean one thing.
"I believe I can answer that power rangers," said a female voice. They all began turning around looking where the voice came from, but all any of them saw were computers and screens of all sorts. No one else was there, but them and none of them had spoken.
"Who said that?" asked Zack looking around with the others not seeing another soul in the command center with them.
"I did, I am Zola. I was created by Zordon and Alpha-five years ago, I am transmitted memory. Around the time when you were all young, still in high school. I do believe" she said. They all looked at each other oddly. Why would Zordon and Alpha five, need to create a memory transmitter? They thought. Tommy then knew he had to take lead, perhaps this had something to do with his dream, and part of him then began to believe this very well had something to do with the break-in Carter had confirmed to him on that.
"Zordon, what does he have to do with this? Zordon has been dead for sometime now," said Tommy, everyone waited for the computer to respond. Tommy was right it had been a few years sense Zordons passing or as they all called it his sacrifice.
"Yes, I know of this. Zordon, had Alpha-five store a message for all of you to hear, in case for some reason he was not around to tell you himself," Everyone looked at each giving surprised and stunned looks to each other. "It would be better for you to listen to it. I was only able to teleport those here, all others I was not able to get a lock on them," they all looked around seeing that only. Tommy, Kim, Kat, Aisha, Zack, Adam, Rocky, Jason and Tonya were here. Justin, Billy, Trini were those missing. Justin did not need to be part of this, Trini had died not too long ago and as for Billy, he was on another planet. "Are you ready?" asked the computer waiting for them to respond. Tommy looked around seeing if his friends were ready to hear the message, they all nodded their heads softly.
"Yes we are, play the message Zola," said Tommy seeing that everyone was ready. The viewing screen opened with a video of Zordon beginning to speak. It was very difficult for them all to see their long gone friend. Old memories filled all of their minds, it seemed so long ago sense they first became power rangers.
"My rangers, my children by the time you get this message. I will be no longer be here, I am sorry. When you were rangers I never told you a destiny in which you would all come to face, when I should have. I had believed I could prevent this battle from ever happening, but I was wrong," The command center grew very quite. "Before any of you were born a prophecy was made, that one day living machine would emerge to take over earth, as well as the universe. These machines are not part of what you know as the Machine Empire, these are living machines. They have living cells they are like you, but machine. They also have the capability of copying technology from any form of a machine. They are very dangerous. No one has ever been able to stop them, which is why I have kept a guarded secret. It is time I shared that with you….." There was a short pause. "Your morphing powers combined will create new ranger powers, powerful enough to take on these machines…..but only six of you can be chosen to become the mighty dragon rangers…there is not much time rangers. The machines are already among you……may the power protect you all…" And just like that he was gone. The room was quite no one knew what to say or do. But the silence soon would be broken which of them would become rangers again.
"So which ones of us is it?" asked Zack, everyone had a clueless look on their faces.
"I was programmed to tell you. You must decide amongst yourselves. You must choose who will be the six" said the computer. All eyes fell onto Tommy he was the leader, but even Tommy didn't know what to do. He just looked at all of them with a weary look, unsure of what the next step would be. He just stood there frozen, just staring back at his friends. All those years ago he had relied on Zordon to be making these kinds of decisions, but Zordon was no longer around. He would have to make it, his friends were counting on him and so was the rest of the universe.
Hours later, the three had gathered up Damon, Kendrix, Kai and Mya. Mike made sure the coast was clear. What was about to be discussed was power ranger business. Mike looked at Korone making sure she was ready. "Okay, guys Andros spoke to me just a few hours ago," said Korone softly. Kendrix and Myas eyes lit up they stepped forward.
"What!" they all said in shock.
"What…what he say?" asked Kendrix, looking straight at Korone.
"Tell us," Said Mya following Kendrix's lead. Korone took a deep breath, this wasn't good news.
"An army of machines called CellBorgs are what attacked the ship, and their heading towards Earth, if their not already there," she said putting her head down. They all looked confused they never heard of CellBorgs.
"CellBorgs what are they?" asked Kai, he never heard of anything like them before. Korone gave them all grim looks. They all could tell that what ever these things were they weren't good.
Korone licked her lips. "They are living machines; they have the capability of copy any machine technology, very dangerous. No one has ever survived their attacks," Korone put her head down. "Years ago when I was Astranama they destroyed most of my army in an attack. We barely made it out alive." she said softly. They all took a big gulp trying to grasp all of this.
"Has any one contacted the other rangers on earth?" asked Damon looking over at Mike and Leo. Mike stepped forward with a long face.
"Yeah, but I wasn't able to get through. Something is blocking the connection," said Mike wearily. The room grew very quite. This was very bad, they all feared for the worst.
The earthquake had stopped, but the damage had been down. In the streets of Silver Hills many cars and trucks were jammed together. Buildings were in pieces, sirens and alarms were going off everywhere from the ambulance's and law enforcements. The Silver Guardians were driving towards downtown where most of the damage had been done. Wes, Eric, and Jen jumped out of their truck the rest of the guardians followed. The three looked around seeing many injured people on the streets they all needed help.
"Guardians, help those people," yelled Wes, three men ran over to the mother and her two children.
"What was this," asked Jen softly, not believing her eyes.
The rest of the guardians followed searching for other people to help. Wes, Jen and Eric joined in, and then a dark shadow came in the sky. Everyone looked up and watched as a dark shadow cast over the sun. Wes gulped in; he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Something was covering up the sun. Soon their light source was gone, the sun was gone. People were screaming and children were crying not understanding, what was going on? Wes turned his head looking at Jen, she just shook her head. She didn't know either. Eric gazed his eyes out and saw something appearing before his eyes.
"Wes, Jen look!" yelled Eric in a fright. The two quickly turned around. They were all shaking in their boots at the sight of the army. It was the CellBorgs their red eyes shined in the dark.
"CellBorgs," said Jen, these were the things Carter had warned them about. The guardian's all ran behind their three commanders, standing in front of the citizens protecting them from danger. Eric turned his head looking at Wes.
"Wes, it would be a good time to give the command," said Eric, Wes looked at Eric nodding his head.
"Right, Guardians pre-pare to. FIRE!" yelled Wes. Several blasts went back and fourth.
Captain Mitchell and Angela watched on the screen as the light speed rangers faced off in battle with the CellBorgs. The rangers were not doing well, they were giving all they had into the battle, but just as Carter and Ryan had said they were very powerful. Captain Mitchell was stunned he never been so afraid in all his life, his children was fighting a battle that could very well kill them. Angela was in the same fear her husband the man she loved was fighting as well. It came to the point when they could no longer watch as the rangers took blast after blast, punch after punch and kick after kick.
"Sir what are we going to do? And what happened to the sun?" she asked looking him in the eyes. Captain Mitchell just stood there not responding, not moving. He looked to be in some sort of trance, a trance that told him his whole world was about to come crashing down.
In the command center the rangers watched on the viewing screen as their home Angel Grove was being attacked. They all could see that these CellBorgs were very powerful and deadly. None of them said a word they all remained constant on the screen.
"Rangers, time is running out you must make your decision now," said Zola. They all turned away from the screen looking at each other. They had to choose now.
