Now both gangs are just arriving at the Tao's Dojo, which is just closing up for the day. Both gangs have introduced each other formerly, en route over there. Tao is getting his bag, and sees his familiar friends, and the new faces of the Syber-Squad.

"Hey, Ryan. I was just getting ready to close." Said Tao.

"Yeah, I got the new software for your computer." Said JB

"Yeah, and I just wanted to show the dojo to a few of our new friends here. This is Sam, Tanker, Amp, and Sydney."

"Nice to meet you kids. Maybe tomorrow I can give you the karate lesson. Well, I'm going home."

Everyone says bye to Tao, and he leaves. Then JB heads to the computer at the desk, with Katelyn and Ryan right behind him. The Squad follows suit, but are unsure at why they are surrounding this computer. Their concerns are answered as JB puts the VR disk into the computer. Soon after the Professor is visible to everyone.

"Excellent. You are all together. Now we can sort out all this." Said Hart.

"Hey. Where are you anyway?" asked Sydney.

"I'm in a virtual reality containment system. Basically a fancy machine that keeps me alive, but I have to stay inside of this machine-like computer. So, judging by your reaction to first hearing from me, that you recognize me from your youth?" Said Hart.

"Yeah. I recognize you." Said Sam, pointing to Hart. "And you." He said now pointing to Ryan.

"Yeah, I remember you. You used to be that little kid who sometimes was brought over to the house to play with me, when my father was working late. It was only a few times, and then you moved." Said Ryan.

"Yeah, I think I remember that. It was right before my little sister was born. You always were doing your karate." Said Sam.

"Yeah, that's right." Said Ryan.

"Ok, this is nice, but what does all this have to do with anything? What about Sam's father? Sam recognized you as having worked with his father. Is it safe to say you are not a computer salesman?" said Sydney.

"Yes. Mr. Collins worked with us on a series of top secret projects. We were developing technology to keep the world safe from an evil threat…" said Hart.

"You mean, Kilokahn, right?" said Tanker.

"No, Grimlord." Said Hart.

"Grimlord?" said the Squad in unison.

"Yes. He's the one we fight as the VR Troopers. The evil master of the Virtual World. And we think that he might have had something to do with the origins of your Kilokahn. However don't know for certain. But…listen we might be able to find more answers for you, but we need your help first." Said JB

"One thing though. Why didn't my father tell me about all this when I was old enough?" said Sam

"I don't have an answer for you. Maybe he didn't know about this. We made a front that he worked in a computer store, as a front, to keep you and your family safe. But as for what he did after he left our group, I can't say for certain. But perhaps an answer may lay in the task we need you to do for us." Said Hart.

"What is it?" said Sam.

"When I got this data node, from Tyler Steele, it gave me the directions of what to do to stop Grimlord by using the VR Trooper powers. As far as I know, about the Squad's powers, they were deleted by my hand before this. However, you have those powers now, and they are the only thing left that are compatible with the node, to repair it. It has a large damaged area, where the rest of the message. If you can get in there as Servo, you might be able to help and allow our equipment to read it. Then we can find the rest of the message, and some answers." Said Hart.

"What makes you think it has answers for both of our groups?" said Amp.

"I just spoke with Alpha 5 & Zordon. I sent them a link to it, to see if they could help. They managed to get an only single second of video, and look who it shows in it." Said Hart.

The Professor displays the image on the screen, and Sam's jaw drops. It shows his father, holding the wrist device that Sam is wearing now, which he uses sometimes to turn into Servo. There is no audio in the one second clip, but it shows Mr. Collins clearly with that wrist device in hand.

"So the rest of this node, might explain why and how you got the Servo powers, when I thought I deleted them." Said Hart.

"Yeah, because all this time I thought it was just a freak accident, caused by the arrival of Kilokahn. Sam got these odd powers a while back, and then all of a sudden we see these virus things attacking computer systems. We used these things to fight them, and learned about Kilokahn, from what little info the computer program told us. It was more light years more advanced than anything I had ever seen, up until we met the Power Rangers, and I keep on tabs with the cutting edge of technology." Said Sydney.

"You mean the cutting edge of civilian technology. Don't forget, we started out as a top-secret government founded agency, ages ago. So anything we might have developed long ago, is just starting to be developed and understood by the public market now." Said Hart

"Yeah, that's a good point." Said Hart.

"So that means in the future, we will all have talking dogs like Jeb?" said Amp.

"Please tell me that he isn't Servo." Said Ryan. This comment then causes Amp to bob his head down and stop smiling.

"With all due respect, Amp is a human being. Albeit an odd one, yes, but still a human being, with feelings. And my friend. And your little comment I think was just an insult to those feelings, and I think you owe him an apology. Or we are as good as gone, no favor granted. I don't care who your father is, or his connection to mine and our powers!" said Sam, all heated up to Ryan.

"Relax man! I'm sorry. I didn't mean any…" said Ryan.

"Don't sweat it man. He's obviously a bit stressed out. One moment please." Said Tanker, as he pulled his friend to the side of the dojo.

"Sam, what is up with you?" asked Sydney.

"I…I…I don't know. I'm just….I haven't….it's a lot to take in. All of this. It hasn't hit me yet, and just the fact that my father might be involved, and I can't reach him, to find out why. Meanwhile, we got a major gig coming up, and we have to save the world. It's too much! Something's got to give." Said Sam.

"Come on, now. You are not thinking clearly, Sam. Why don't you do walk around outside, and get some air? We'll take care of stuff here, and later you can decide about helping out these guys." Said Amp.

"Yeah, that sounds like a cool idea to me. I'll be right back, guys." Said Sam, as he headed to the Troopers.

"Listen…" Sam started to say.

"Sam. Don't even worry about it. I wasn't exactly jumping up for joy either when I found out my father had this big secret he kept from me. So trust me, nobody understands better than me, man. Go, get some air, clear your head, and we'll get things sorted out together." Said Ryan.

"Thanks." Said Sam, as he gave a high five to Ryan, and left the dojo for a walk.

Sydney sits near JB, and then speaks to Hart. "So, why don't you send us a schematic of the node, and let me have a look at it."

"Very well, Sydney." Said Hart. "There." He said, but no display came up onto the screen.

"Professor, I didn't get anything." She said.

"Odd. Let me try again." Said Hart.

"Nothing, still." Said JB

"Hmm…I don't understand." Said Hart.

"Wait, Professor, check the scanner, and see if there are any breaks in the reality barrier."

"No, but there is a very high amount of traffic on-line. It's keeping me from sending the information. Wait! I know. I'll contact Alpha and Zordon to send us their copy, of the node's information. Their mainframe is much more powerful than anything we got here, and should be able to cut through the high volume of traffic on-line." Said Hart.

Meanwhile, in Grimlord's palace, the floating monitor has arrived with its guest, Kilokahn. Kilokahn is standing there, alone. None of Grimlord's mutant robots are anywhere to be seen. Only Grimlord is present.

"Forgive the cold reception. My army is recharging right now." Said Grimlord.

"It's alright, Grimlord." Said Kilokahn.

"Good, just excuse me one moment, while I get a quick report on something. Corneal Icebot! Report!" said Grimlord as he waved his hand, to bring about the energy screen so he could speak to Icebot.

"The plan has worked. Our blocking device is keeping Hart from sending any data outward to the VR Troopers. So far all he has sent is the schematics of an old data node. It's older than anything we have here."

"This is worthless to me!" said Grimlord.

"But my lord, Hart has made contact with this powerful mainframe, again. We got a lock on their distribution signature. If they make another transmission soon, I can find out which terminal it is, and take it."

"Why would you take a useless, primitive human computer? I want that mainframe!" said Grimlord.

"If I can find that computer that the data is sent to, and take it, I can use our equipment to get a lock on the mainframe, and get all the information we need about it. Defense, location, everything, master." Said Icebot.

"Excellent! When you do, send a party of Skugs to go and get that computer for us immediately!" said Grimlord. "Now, let's go to my lab and tell you what I have in mind for you."

In the meanwhile, Hart has just become visible to the Troopers again, after disappearing a moment to contact Alpha. "I don't know what is going on, but I have asked Alpha to send a copy directly to your laptop, Sydney. Please connect it to the computer." Said Hart.

She does, and it arrives within a matter of seconds.

"Ok, got it. Let's have a look here, and see what I can figure out." Said Sydney. She starts typing, and looking at the data, when out of the blue, a pizza guy comes into the dojo.

"I have a delivery." Said the pizza man.

"Sorry, there must be a mistake. We didn't order any pizza." Said Katelyn.

"Oh, but I do think that this delivery is for you!" says the delivery guy, as he drops the pizza box, and starts to laugh. Just then a flash of light hits the room, and the pizza man, is revealed to be a Skug, in disguise. Then he multiplies into a group of six of them.

"Skugs!" said Ryan, as he jumped up from his seat, to a fighting stance, joined by the other two Troopers.

"Stand back, you guys! We'll handle these tin heads!" said JB

Just then, the Skugs run into the dojo main area, and the Troopers follow them. And soon later, they are engaged in combat. Sydney is scared, as she clutches onto the laptop, behind Tanker. Just then, to her surprise, Tanker runs out into the dojo to help.

"Tanker! What are you doing?" said Sydney.

"I can't let them face those things alone!" Said Tanker.

"Right behind you!" said Amp, as he also goes to help.

The three Troopers have no problem kept the Skugs at bay, but are unable to get them to touch, so they could disintegrate. Katelyn knocks one to the ground, and Tanker proceeds to do a wrestling slam move on it, which knocks it down, as it tried to get back up.

"Nice move!" said Katelyn.

"Thanks." Said Tanker.

"Look out!" she says, as a Skug grabs him from behind, and throws him onto the floor.

Amp tries to hit one Skug from behind, that is being fought by JB. The Skug turns around, and starts to reach to grab or punch Amp. Amp gets scared, and quickly ducks down. In doing this, the Skugs arm reaches past where Amp was, and over to touch another Skug that was behind Amp. This causes those two to disintegrate.

"Good job, Amp!" said JB.

"Wow! I did it!" said Amp.

Just then, Sydney can be heard screaming.

Amp, Tanker, and Katelyn rush, to find a Skug has grabbed Sydney. They go to attack, but he pulls out a blade, and points it at Sydney. They start to stand down, but out of nowhere, Jeb runs into the Skugs legs, and knocks the Skug off balance, allowing Sydney to get free of its hold. But in the rush, Sydney drops her laptop. It then gets caught by another Skug, in midair. Ryan then comes, with JB, ready to try and get the laptop back, but then all the remaining Skugs disappear.

"Oh, Man! They got my laptop!" said Sydney.

"We'll get you a new one." Said Amp.

"You don't understand! That has all the data about our powers, including how to access them! Without that laptop, we can't be the Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad!" she said.

"Don't despair, Sydney. I have a theory as to what is going on. Troopers, please bring the Squad to the lab so we can proceed and explain." Said Hart.

At Grimlord's palace, a strange and sinister event is about to take place. Grimlord is in Icebot's lab, and Kilokahn is about to be hooked up to a machine, via his bracelet.

"With this device, I will give you back your full powers, that you had, when I originally created you." Said Grimlord.

"But explain to me, why must I still wear this device on my arm?" said Kilokahn.

"Your powers will take some time to fully be absorbed and downloaded into your program. When that happens, you will be able to maintain your physical presence in Virtual Reality, on your own." Said Icebot.

"Excellent, and then I will have the power to destroy Servo and his subroutine programs!" said Kilokahn.

"The device is ready, master." Said Icebot.

"Excellent, Icebot. If this works, I will see to it that you get a medal, for your work." Said Grimlord.

"Thank you Master." Said Icebot, as he turned the device on, with the flip of a switch. Then large flowing bolts of electricity, flowing into the machine, and the wires connected to the arm bracelet. Then this power is flowed into Kilokahn. This process lasts all of 30 seconds, until it stops automatically. Then Kilokahn falls, onto the ground.

"Are you alright?" said Grimlord.

"Yes. I feel like I did when I was originally come into existence." Said Kilokahn, as he threw a powerful bolt of energy, at Icebot, knocking it down.

"Come now. He's my best scientist and creator, and he just gave you back your full powers. Now, how would you like a chance to fully test your power, before you get the mainframe for us?" said Grimlord.

"I would like that very much. You know, for many trillions of trillions or trillions of nanoseconds that it has been since you banished me, I held much anger in my program at you. But yet now, I don't feel that anymore. Since all this, I feel like we have started anew. I feel pleased to be back into the fold." Said Kilokahn.

"It is good to have you back to your full potential, Kilokahn. Come now, let us go and give your powers a workout. Icebot, the computer?" said Grimlord.

Icebot rises up, and starts to compose himself. He is not too badly injured, and is still functioning. "We got all the signature information we need from it, to find this powerful mainframe near Angel Grove. There were other bizarre programs inside the computer as well, dating back to Tyler Steele's early work…" Said Icebot.

"That is of no concern to me. Leave the computer as it is, and don't waste any of our computer space doing a data transfer on that garbage of his! I want you to put the computer out in the open, in Virtual Reality, to draw the VR Troopers out, and let our new ally, destroy them!" said Grimlord. "Just allow me one moment, to check on the damage done to Icebot."

"Very well. I will wait in the main hall area." Said Kilokahn, as he unplugged the wires on his arm bracelet, and left the lab.

"Master, he almost…" said Icebot.

"Quiet you fool! I don't want him to catch wind of our plan. We'll let him think that he's being used to help us get this mainframe, when these powers alone might be enough to help destroy the VR Troopers. Once that happens, no Servo program can stop us, and we won't need that mainframe, but we'll let him get it for us, and then we'll destroy him, and conquer the human reality!" said Grimlord.

Meanwhile, Kilokahn is thinking to himself. "The Grimlord creator unit thinks I am totally loyal to his cause. He even foolishly gave me back my powers. And when they come back entirely, I will destroy him, take over everything he has amassed, and get my revenge for him banishing me. And then with his technology, I can find the means to destroy Servo and conquer all these worlds!"
