Phaedos. Shala, Jade, Malcus, Darren, Jaden, and Jaleen appeared in white flashes of light.
"Where are we?" asked Malcus.
"And where is that Ninjor guy?" asked Shala.
A flash of blue light formed into Ninjor.
"Why are we here?" asked Jaden.
"Don't you remember. I've brought you here to accept the Great Power. Only 6 humans from Earth have survived this challenge." said Ninjor.
"I heard that there was a woman who gave us our ninja spirits." said Jade.
"I'm afraid she was taken by Master Vile. He's kidnapped many beings of power." said Ninjor.
A sudden explosion hurled the group backwards. The dust settled revealing Scorpina, Master Vile, and Tengas.
"What's going on?" asked Jaleen.
"We're here for the last one we need. Take a look at your friends." said Vile, blasting an image in the sky.
Ninjor looked into the image, and saw Dulcea, Quagmire, Delphine, Corcus, Cestro, Cestria, Tidus, Aurico, Queen Tracy(former Rita) of Triforia, King Trin of Triforia, Alex Collins/Blue Centurion, and Auric trapped in dungeon cells.
"I wasn't able to get Lexian and Dex, but Count Dregon can take care of them. Dark Specter destroyed Lerigot and his family, and he has Zordon captive. The only left that can help the rangers is Dimitria and the Alphas, who are already with the rangers." said Master Vile.
"Ninjor, he's after the Great Power. Don't let him get it." said Dulcea.
Master Vile waved his hand, and the image vanished.
"Time to send you there, too." said Master Vile.
"Go, rangers, get the Great Power, before it's too late." said Ninjor.
Ninjor fired at Vile, making him duck. Ninjor's blast destroys some of the Tengas.
"We can't leave you." said Jaleen.
"I said go!" said Ninjor, who fired an energy blast at them, and made them vanish.
"Now you belong to me." said Vile, fired an energy blast.
"Good luck rangers. May the power protect you." whispered Ninjor, as the blast hit him, and he vanished.
"Find those Eltarans, and destroy them. I'm going to the monolith." said Master Vile, who vanished in a black flash.
Scorpina and the Tengas dashed into the forest.
In the forest, the 6 Eltarans appear.
"He pointed to the monolith. We've got to get there." said Jaden.
A flash of energy appeared and formed into a holo-image of Dulcea and Ninjor.
"We can't stay out of our bodies long. But we will give you the power of the ninjetti. You must find the monolith." said Dulcea.
They fired, and a wave of energy hit the 6 teens, giving them ninjetti suits. Jaden/white; Darren/black; Shala/pink; Malcus/blue; Jade/yellow; Jaleen/red.
"Jaleen, your spirit animal is the hawk, strong, a loner, but is always there when she needs to be." said Dulcea.
"Jade, your spirit animal is the giraffe, graceful, yet dangerous." said Ninjor.
"Malcus, your spirit animal is the cheetah, cunning and swift." said Dulcea.
"Shala, your spirit animal is the dove, serene, and graceful." said Ninjor.
"Darren, your spirit animal is the bat, fast, and dark as the night." said Dulcea.
"Jaden, your spirit animal is the lion, leader of the pack, strong, and ferocious." said Ninjor.
The 6 stand together, and remove their hoods.
"Your journey will be full of many dangers, some of this planet, and some not." said Dulcea.
"What do you mean?" asked Shala.
"Master Vile has sent his forces after you to destroy you. He is trying to go to the monolith, but he'll discover that he must journey through the forest to enter it. Only Ninjor and I can teleport to the monolith, and to the plateau, because we are this planet's protectors." said Dulcea.
"We must leave now, before we are discovered." said Ninjor.
"Do not worry, just survive the journey. For Master Vile may not stop with us, and with the Great Power, he may try attacking Triforia, Eltar, Earth, and anywhere else." said Dulcea.
"May the Power protect you." said Ninjor.
Ninjor and Dulcea's images vanished. The 6 Eltarans ran down the path, hoping to find the monolith, and avoid dangers as possible.
In the prison, Dulcea and Ninjor return to their bodies. There were many cells. They had cells 1-6 across from cells 7-12. Ninjor was trapped in a bottle in the middle of the room. The cell arrangement was Auric, King Trin, Quagmire, Dulcea, Queen Tracy, Alex, Delphine, Corcus, Cestro, Tidus, Aurico, and Cestria.
"Will they make it?" asked Delphine.
"We just have to hope. It is hope to Fate now." said Dulcea.
"Yes. But if we could escape, and get our aquitar coins, we could slow down Vile's forces, so they could get to the monolith." said Delphine.
"Yes. Since Vile's forces aren't part of the normal tests, it would make sense that we should stop them." said Aurico.
"But there are only 5 power coins." said Dulcea.
"Not quite. The Pink Aquitar Coin was never used, and yet the original Aquitar Team feared for its safety. The Pink Aquitar coin, the Pink Battleborg, and the Pink Shogunzord were all locked safely away beneath Phaedos." said Ninjor.
"Then there was a Pink Shogunzord." said Cestria.
"Yes. But the original 5 Battleborgs and Shogunzords were fine without it. The pink zords when combined with the megazords, were just extra weapons." said Dulcea.
"We must escape, and find them. It is time to free them." said Cestria.
"The 6 Ninjazords, Titanis, and the other Shogunzords are still on Earth, hidden. The Dragonzord has been used again by a good green ranger." said Dulcea.
"Then we must release the zords." said Cestro.
"The Battleborgs are on this ship." said Tidus.
The doors opened. Master Vile stepped out, and walked in.
"Aquitar Rangers. You will now serve me." said Master Vile.
"No. We won't." said Cestro.
Master Vile held up a crystal.
"Where did you get the Darkstar Crystal?" asked Quagmire.
"Dark Specter has had this hidden. He's used it to create new evil, or turn good people evil." said Master Vile.
"You won't get away with this." said Delphine, now very worried.
Master Vile smiled, and then shot a blast of energy through the Darkstar Crystal. Dulcea, Ninjor, Tracy, Trin, and Auric tried to deflect it, but the blast hit the 5 Aquitar Rangers, and Alex.
"NO!" yelled Cestria.
Tengas opened their cells. Delphine, Aurico, Corcus, Cestro, Tidus, and Alex exited their cells. Master Vile hands the 5 aquitar coins to the 5 Aquitians.
"Now. Go to Phaedos. And destroy those trying to seek the Great Power. Only then can I travel through the forest, and claim its power for myself." said Master Vile.
The 5 Aquitar Rangers nod.
"It's Morphin Time!" said Delphine.
"Rangers of Aquitar, we need full power!" said Delphine, Corcus, Cestro, Tidus, and Aurico.
"Shift into Turbo! Centurion Strike Turbo Power!" said Alex.
Alex morphed into the Blue Centurion. The 5 Aquitans and Alex teleported out.
"You'll never get away with this." said Trin.
"But I will. And they aren't the only ones I'm turning." said Master Vile.
Master Vile raised the Dark Crystal, and fired it at Tracy. Her clothes transformed back into her witch garb. She had become Rita Repulsa once more.
"Welcome back, Rita." said Vile.
Tengas opened the cell, and Rita Repulsa exited the cell.
"No." said King Trin.
"Sorry, she belongs to me again." said Master Vile.
Rita, Vile, and the Tengas left the dungeon. Ninjor, Cestria, Auric, Trin, Quagmire, and Dulcea all sat there.
"It's hopeless now." said Trin.
"I see no way out of this." said Quagmire.
"I do. We have to escape. The Eltarans can't survive long against Vile's forces, Blue Centurion, and the Aquitar Rangers. We have to get out, and save them." said Cestria.
"How?" asked Dulcea.
"By destroying the Darkstar Crystal." said Cestria.
"How? Vile has drained my power, Auric's power, Ninjor's power, and Dulcea's power." said Quagmire.
"But not Trin's power. You were the gold ranger once, you must have some residual energy left." said Cestria.
"Cestria's right. You may have enough energy left to free us." said Ninjor.
Trin nodded, and raised his hands. Golden energy flew from his hands, and struck the bars. The bars vanished. Trin walked out from the cell, and walked to the console. He looked at it.
"How do I turn this thing off?" asked Trin.
"Just destroy the entire machine." said Auric.
Trin nodded, and kicked the machine, destroying it. The cell bars vanished, freeing the rest of the group. Ninjor, Auric, Cestria, Quagmire, and Dulcea walked out of the cells, and joined him. They feel their powers restored to normal.
"The rooms weren't draining our strength, they were blocking it." said Cestria.
"Then we must find the Darkstar Crystal, and destroy it before it is too late." said Dulcea.
"I will go with Dulcea to Phaedos. Maybe I can find the pink Aquitan coin, and Dulcea will stop aging." said Cestria.
"Good luck." said Ninjor.
Dulcea and Cestria vanished in green and white flashes of light. Ninjor, Auric, Quagmire, and Trin ran down the hall.
In the throne room, Master Vile and Rita Repulsa sat on 2 thrones. Master Vile set the Darkstar Crystal on a table. Scorpina kneeled before them.
"Welcome back to the side of darkness, empress." said Scorpina.
"It's good to be back." said Rita.
"Zedd discovered you went good, and annulled your marriage. He's now married to Kimberly Hart, the former pink morphin and pink ninja/ninjetti ranger. She's now the pink teran ranger, and can control the element of wind." said Master Vile.
"He left me, and married that slut! He's going to pay for this." said Rita.
Master Vile and Scorpina nodded. Master Vile handed a box to Rita. Rita opened it up, and pulled out her old wand.
"Zedd was going to give this to Kimberly, but I got it back, before I left the Dark Fortress with it and the Darkstar Crystal." said Master Vile.
"But this belongs to Dark Specter." said Rita.
"He's the only one who knows what I'm doing, and why I'm here. Those other fools think I'm off in my planet." said Master Vile.
"When we're really trying to get the Great Power." said Scorpina.
"Brilliant. Technically, I'm married to the King of Triforia. Yes, I do have my memories now of being Tracy. But I don't want to be a goody good again. If we can turn Trin, evil, then we'll be the rulers of Triforia. We legally are the royal family." said Rita.
"And then you'd also have control of the golden powers, because then we could turn Trey evil." said Master Vile.
'The Phantom Ranger is the gold ranger's brother. He works for Divatox." said Scorpina.
"That means Divatox also has a claim to the Triforian throne, and the golden powers." said Rita.
"Not if we defeat her first." said Scorpina.
The villains began planning how to get the Phantom Ranger away from Divatox. Finster teleported in with Tengas and Putties.
"You summoned me?" asked Finster.
"We've got Rita back." said Finster.
"I assumed that is why her Putties came back to life." said Finster.
Rita nodded.
"Then we must be careful. If Divatox, the Machine Empire, Zedd, and Astronema discover I'm back, they may warn each other, and ruin our future plans." said Rita.
"Then we must proceed with caution. We don't have the Great Power yet." said Scorpina.
The villains nodded, and began planning.
In the hallway, were Trin, Ninjor, Auric, and Quagmire. They raised their hands, and fired blasts of energy at the Dark Crystal. It shattered into pieces, and sent out a dark wave. The dark wave hit them. Their screams drew Rita, Vile, and Scorpina to them. The Tiki of Auric and Ninjor's blue bottle appeared. Auric was sucked into the tiki, while Ninjor was sucked into the bottle. Quagmire's robes were turned from brown to black. Trin's robe changed from gold and black to gray and black.
"Quagmire, Trin. Welcome to the family." said Master Vile, laughing.
On Phaedos, Jaden, Shala, Jade, Malcus, Darren, and Jaleen walked through the woods. Cestria appeared in a flash of pink light.
"What's going on?" asked Jade.
"I am Cestria. My cousin is Cestro, the Blue Aquitar Ranger. Master Vile has turned the Aquitar Rangers and Blue Centurion evil. He's sending them after you now. I'm here to find the pink aquitar coin." said Cestria.
A holo-image of Dulcea appeared.
"Cestria, I looked through Ninjor's notes. The pink aquitar coin was moved into the monolith. And...no. It can't be." said Dulcea.
"What's wrong?" asked Cestria.
"Quagmire and Trin have been turned evil. Auric and Ninjor have been recaptured." said Dulcea.
"We've got to get to the monolith fast." said Cestria.
Dulcea's image fades away. Cestria and the 6 Eltarans ran further into the forest. Flashes of light form into the Aquitar Rangers and Alex. Delphine and Aurico stood in front of them, blocking their path. Cestro stood on their left, and Tidus stood on their right. side. Corcus and Alex stood behind them.
"We're surrounded." said Jaleen.
"Got any bright ideas?" asked Jaleen.
"Yeah. We fight. Ninjetti! Lion!" said Jaden.
"Bat!" said Darren.
"Hawk!" said Jaleen.
"Dove!" said Shala.
"Cheetah!" said Malcus.
"Giraffe!" said Jade.
Their hoods reappeared on their heads, and the group split up to fight the Aquitar Rangers and Alex. Jaden vs. Aurico. Jaleen vs. Delphine. Cestria vs. Cestro. Jade vs. Tidus. Malcus vs. Corcus. Darren and Shala vs. Alex.
"Guys. We have to find fire." said Cestria.
"Why?" asked Jaleen.
"Darren, can you handle him by yourself?" asked Cestria.
"Sure." said Darren.
Cestria ran off the path a few ways, and found a pile of sticks.
"Too easy." said Cestria.
The sticks transformed into a skeleton of a dragon.
"I spoke too soon." said Cestria
The dragon flung his tail at Cestria. She flipped into the air, avoiding the hit. She flipped onto the dragon's back.
"I guess dinosaurs lived on Phaedos and Earth. That's why the dino and ninja coins are similar to the animals that live on this planet." thought Cestria.
The dragon had been trying to throw Cestria off, but she'd been hanging on. She guided the dragon back to the fight.
Back at the fight, Jaden, Jaleen, Shala, Malcus, Darren, and Jade are flung to the ground. Delphine, Corcus, Aurico, Cestro, Tidus, and Alex walk up to them. Cestria hung onto the dragon as it ran in still trying to shake her off. The skeleton dragon saw the fighting groups.
"Hey, Aquitar Rangers. Come and get me. If you think you can." said Cestria.
Aurico, Tidus, and Corcus leapt up to attack Cestria. The dragon breathed fire, which hit the 3 rangers, demorphing them. Delphine and Cestro leapt up to attack him, and he zapped them.
"We'll be back rangers." said Delphine.
Delphine, Cestro, and Alex vanished with Tidus, Corcus, and Aurico.
"Guys. I can't control this guy." said Cestria.
The dragon threw her from his body, and knocked her into a tree. The dragon ran towards her. Darren leapt onto the monster, and began pulling off bones. Jade and Jaleen ran up to Cestria, and woke her up.
"Are you okay?" asked Jade..
"Yes. What's going on?" asked Cestria.
"Darren's trying to get rid of him." said Shala.
Malcus and Jaden leapt onto the dinosaur, and help Darren pulled of dino bones. The 3 guys soon pulled out the main bones, and the monster fell to the ground, demolished. The 3 male rangers stood up, and dusted themselves off.
"Let's get out of here before his family invites us to dinner." said Darren.
"Good idea." said Cestria.
Cestria and the 6 ninjetti rangers ran further into the forest.
On the Megaship, Adam, and Andros, Alpha 5, Alpha 6, and Dimitria were on the bridge scanning for Zordon and Karone. The other rangers had gone to the simudeck to train and get to know each other better.
"You guys? Where's Tommy?" asked Adam.
At the Surf Spot, Tommy kicked and punched a bag. He kicked and punched so hard, the cord ripped in 2, dropping the punching bag onto the floor, with a loud bang, startling everyone. Tommy clenched his fists, and mutters a 'sorry' to Adele, before walking out the door. Tanya, Rocky, and Adam were sitting at a table, and had watched what Tommy did.
"I'm worried about him. He took this too hard." said Tanya.
"I know. He's eventually going to get himself hurt." said Adam..
"We should keep an eye on him." said Rocky.
Tanya, Rocky, and Adam run out after Tommy. They see Tommy practicing karate, with kicks and punches.
"I'll go talk to him." said Rocky.
Rocky walks up to Tommy.
"Tommy, you've got to calm down. If you're this way when they attack us, they could capture or kill you." said Rocky .
"Leave me alone." said Tommy.
"But Tommy." said Rocky.
"I said leave me alone." said Tommy.
Tommy, angrily, punches Rocky in the face. Blood flows from Rocky's lip and nose. Tommy sees what he did, and runs away.
"Tommy. Wait!" said Rocky.
Tanya and Adam hold him back.
"Rocky, he might just hurt you worse. He's in pain right now." said Tanya.
"I know. But I got to help him." said Rocky.
"Tanya, go back to the Megaship, and tell the others. Adam and I need to help Tommy any way we can." said Adam.
Tanya nods, and teleports away in a streak of yellow light. Adam and Rocky run after Tommy.
In the forest, Tommy is now sitting under a tree.
"I can't believe I just did that. Rocky is one of my best friends. It's not his fault that Zedd turned the others against us, or married Kim. I let my anger take over." said Tommy.
Tommy clenches his fist, then hears voices, calling out his name. Tommy looks up to see Rocky and Adam looking for him. Tommy starts to stand up. A golden arm reaches from behind a tree, and grabs Tommy, pulling him backwards, then a golden flash follows. Adam, Rocky, Richie, and Curtis see it, and run to find nothing but 2 sets of footprints.
"Tommy's been taken." said Adam.
"But by who?" asked Rocky.
"We better get back. Andros and the others will want to know about this." said Curtis.
The 4 rangers teleport back to the Megaship.
