AN: Thank you garnetred for being the only one to take the time and review. Your feedback meansa lot to me. Only getting one review is a little discouraging, but it'll never stop me from posting so don't worry about that.

Kardan sighed as he looked over his full infirmary; it was full to capacity. Every Ranger had been hurt in some way; only Shane, Hunter, and Blake had escaped injury. Tori just had a few minor cuts from her tangle with Psycho Blue's cutlass. Niko and Zadan were both nursing bruised and cracked ribs, but Niko was also dealing with a concussion. Cam was lucky that no serious damage had been done to his knee, but it was bad enough Kardan was going to keep him off of it for a few days, if that was at all possible. Dustin had received a fairly serious concussion and had passed out soon after bringing Sebastien to the ship.

At the thought of Sebastien the doctor looked toward the ICU ward where Sebastien lay still unconscious. They were all lucky that Dustin had reacted quickly and gotten Sebastien back to the ship. Kardan had operated immediately and he was sure the young boy would pull through. Kardan sighed again, shaking his head. Sebastien was too young to be a ranger, going through the hell that it could be. He had thought that seventeen had been too young for Harper to be a ranger

"They're just kids." Kardan murmured.

"You said the same thing about me."

Kardan jerked slightly and glanced over his shoulder at his younger teammate. "It's still true. You were too young when you became a ranger."

"Or you were too old." Harper replied with a smirk.

"Here now, have respect for your elders."

Harper smirked, but it faded as he looked around the room. Not everyone had been hurt, but he had ordered bed rest for all of them. "They took quite a beating today."

"It's only going to get worse, you know that."

"Do you think they do?" Harper asked.

"I hope so, I don't want to be the one to break that to them." Kardan replied, looking over the broken and bruised team.

"Hopefully, they won't suffer the losses we did."

Kardan winced as memories of their final battle flashed in his mind. Lorku with a sword through his chest. Pydin smashed under tons of ruble as their earth bound base was destroyed. Ekkan shot numerous times. Their losses had been great, too great. He still found it hard to come to terms with the deaths of some of his best friends. He just thanked his lucky stars that Sizvu had survived it all and was still with him.

"What are we going to do Kardan? Those new Psycho Rangers are more powerful than the first ones and way more dangerous." Harper said. "Did you see how they stuck together? They're a real team and they're a very real threat."

Kardan sighed and shook his head. "I don't know lad. I don't know that there's anything we can do to help. Just patch them up and pat them on their backs."

"And pray for their safety."

"Aye, that too."

Hunter listened as the two older rangers left the infirmary. Listening to them talk gave him doubts. Crimson, Red, and Blue still posed a huge threat and now they had more Psycho Rangers to deal with. Not to mention that Kalix had millions of foot soldiers at his beck and call and probably just as many monsters. It almost made Hunter wish that Kalix would just get it over with and attack with his full force, but at the same time it frightened him. He wasn't so sure anymore that they could win. Seven rangers against an army of unimaginable number and strength? What kind of chance did they stand against odds like that? If Kalix invaded Earth the team would be stretched thin trying to protect the whole place and they were at their strongest only when they were all together.

"Hunter?"

Cracking one exhausted eye open he found his brother awake and staring back at him. "Yeah?"

"Do you think we can win?"

Hunter sighed inwardly. How was he supposed to reassure Blake when he wasn't sure himself? "I think anything is possible."

"Everyone else talks like we're on a downward spiral to defeat." Blake said. "I want to believe we can win, but..."

Now was a time Hunter wished he wasn't the big brother. As the older brother it was his job to reassure and encourage Blake, but the situation was a difficult one. He didn't want to lie and tell Blake that everything would be okay, but he also didn't want to scare him with talks of doom and gloom. In the end he could only settle on one response.

"I don't know anymore Blake. I just don't know."

ZzZzZ

"Tyson's determined."

"Yeah, but he's facing an opponent way more powerful than him."

"I think he's more powerful than you think. He'll beat Tala, just you wait and see."

"And next you're going to tell me Max is worthwhile."

"You're underestimating everyone. That's always been your biggest problem."

"Oh my god you two are fighting over a cartoon show!" Psycho Green exclaimed. "Give it a rest!"

"We're not fighting." Psycho Gold said

"We're having a friendly discussion." Psycho Silver added. "And it's not just a cartoon show. It's anime and there's a difference."

"Some anime." Psycho Gray said. "But this is just a children's anime show. There's no blood or real danger. If you want a real anime watch The Guyver or Saint Seiya, something with some real weight."

"Hey!" The two metallic Psycho Rangers exclaimed.

"Oh give me a break." Psycho Teal sneered. "A cartoon is a cartoon and only kids watch cartoons."

"Oh yeah? I've got the first volume of The Guyver in my room. Let's watch it and we'll see how much of a kid's show you think it is." Psycho Gray said. "In fact, you two should watch it too and see what real anime is about."

Psycho Gold snorted. "I think you're missing the point of us watching this."

"We live and breathe violence and death every day." Psycho Silver continued.

"So, this lightweight anime is a bit of a break from it."

"Pussies."

"Hey!"

"Would all of you just shut up." Psycho Bronze snarled. "You kids are giving me a headache."

"Then go somewhere else old man." Gray replied.

The whole room froze as the grumpy Bronze turned an ice cold glare, hidden by his helmet of course, at the daring Psycho Gray. His visor flashed, expressing his annoyance, but Psycho Gray showed no physical reaction. After a moment Bronze grunted, got up and left the room while grumbling something about kids having no respect. The rest of the younger Psychos laughed, knowing that the older Psycho was just naturally grumpy. Everyone went back to what they were doing as they all waited for orders for their next move.

ZzZzZ

"He's not strong enough."

"With this new threat we're going to need all the rangers we can get. I need Niko to help me get Kale back." Amias argued. "It's possible Kale's the most powerful ranger we have on our side and we need him back."

Kardan sighed. "Psycho Black gave the lad a terrible beating. I'm afraid of letting him do anything that might weaken him further."

"No choice doc. Things are going to get desperate around here." Amias argued.

"I can't let him do it."

"Why don't you ask him what he wants to do?"

"No, I--."

"Doc."

Kardan and Amias both turned to see Niko watching them with half lidded eyes. His head was still wrapped in bandages as was his chest, but he was looking better. His Psycho powers were healing him quickly.

"I'm strong enough." Niko said. "Beside, Amias is right. We're going to need Kale."

"Are you sure lad? We need you just as much." Kardan replied.

Niko smiled slightly. "You worry too much Doc. I'm tougher than I look."

"Alright, but the moment you feel tired I want you to stop and rest."

"Yes sir." Niko said with a playful grin.

Amias helped his friend over to where Kale still lay completely still. The two sat together on either side of Kale's bed and took his hands in theirs. Neither said a word to each other as they closed their eyes and reached out to Kale's mind.

Together they searched his mind for the key to his morphing power, but there were walls Kalix hadn't managed to destroy, two very strong and invincible walls. One they knew held Kale's subconscious and conscious mind, but the other was different. A bright glow issued from behind it, illuminating the otherwise dark, devastated mind.

"That's got to be the link to his ranger power." Niko said, glancing over at Amias as they took physical form in Kale's mind. "I don't think we have a chance of breaking that wall."

"That's protected by all his ranger power, we don't have enough psychic power between us for that." Amias agreed. "We need him to trigger it."

"I don't know if you've forgotten, but his conscious mind is behind that wall and we can't break it either."

"You sound like you're giving up."

Niko shot a glare at his friend. "I don't give up. There's got to be something we can do."

Amias opened his mouth to reply, but never got a chance. Light suddenly flooded the dark expanse of Kale's mind and both boys had to cover their eyes. When it faded enough for them to see they were surprised to find the wall with the light behind it had opened up. The two shared a look before simultaneously heading through the opening. They expected the light to get brighter inside, but they were again surprised when the light dimmed and they found themselves in a room that looked somewhat like a living room of some sort. To their further surprise, they weren't alone.

"Now is the time to strike Master Kalix." Deder said.

"So it would seem." Kalix leaned back in his chair. He glanced up at the cage where a very special prisoner hung. "I can't wait to see the look on your face when my Psycho Rangers crush your pathetic students once and for all. You should pray for mercy for them, not that it will be granted."

"It is for you that I would pray for mercy, if I believed you deserved it." Sensei Watanabe replied.

Kalix smirked. "I could reach out and squeeze the life out of you and yet you insist that your Rangers can beat my Psycho Rangers? You should be praising me and begging for your life, not insulting me and my warriors."

"What I say will not change what you have planned for me." Sensei replied. "And it will not change the outcome of this war."

"At least you take this seriously, rat. This is a war - one that I don't plan on losing." Kalix replied. He shifted his attention to his top general. "Gather all the Psycho Rangers, the Knights of Destruction, and as many foot soldiers that you can. I don't want the rangers walking away from this one."

"Yes Master Kalix, it will be done."

Kalix smirked at his captive. "Let's see your Rangers survive this one."

Harper was relaxing, kicked back in one of the bridge chairs, when the alarms blared. He tipped backwards, smacking his head on the floor with a thump. Growling slightly the young man got back to his feet and looked at the main screen. All the color drained from his face. It was an attack force unlike anything Kalix had thrown at the Earth based rangers yet. He leapt toward the communication station and punched the ship wide intercom button.

"All available Rangers report to the bridge. We've got trouble."

Moments later everyone from the infirmary was in the room, except Sebastien, Niko, and Amias. Kardan was scolding several of the rangers, but they were just blowing him off. All of them were surprised by the attack force they saw on the screen. There were at least eighty foot soldiers combined with the three Knights of Destruction and eleven Psycho Rangers. It was too much, way more than they could handle.

"We're going to have to go out there on this one." Harper said, glancing over his shoulder at Kardan. "It's time for the Battle Rangers to fight again."

"I'm not sure I'm ready for this again." Kardan mumbled.

Harper snorted. "Then stay here. Your pacifist ways didn't help on Banar and it won't help here."

"That's uncalled for." Sizvu snapped.

"I'm just saying he needs to learn when to fight and when not to." Harper said, sending a glare at his older teammate.

"This coming from someone from a warmongering race."

"Enough!" Kardan barked. "There are only three of us and this team is still falling apart." He sighed and shook his head. "There's no time for this. All three of us are going out there and fighting." He glanced around at the rest of the rangers, intensely worried about them all. "Everyone be careful out there. Dustin, try not to take any hits to the head and Cam, watch your knee."

"Will do Doc." Dustin said.

"Everyone ready?" Shane asked. At everyone's confirmations he smiled grimly. "Let's do this."

"Ninja Storm, Ranger form, HA!"

"Thunder Storm, Ranger form, HA!"

"Samurai Storm, Ranger form, HA!"

"Power Rangers, Battle ready!"

Zadan hesitated. He wasn't looking forward to getting his ass handed to him again. Not only that it had been a long time since he'd had a serious fight without Niko by his side. He didn't have any other teammates out there. There was no one to watch his back; if they even could in the mess they were about to jump into. For someone used to having a teammate to watch his back the thought of fighting on his own for the first time in a long time was a little overwhelming.

"Zadan?" Zadan looked over at Dustin as he heard his name. "Aren't you coming?"

"Of course." Zadan replied instantly. I can do this. I'm not dependent on anyone. Without another thought he morphed.

There was silence in the bridge for a moment as all the rangers looked around at each other. Their thoughts went out to one another, but no words were exchanged. Everyone knew this battle marked a dangerous turn in Kalix's attack style. He was getting more serious. He was almost done playing. They shared another moment of silence together before they transported to the battle.

ZzZzZ

Amias tensed as a tall boy with sandy blond hair and soft, warm brown eyes approached. He was broad and muscular, but even so he wasn't threatening or imposing. The smile on his face was friendly and warm and he simply exuded a sense of welcome. The boy stopped in front of Amias and stood smiling down at him.

"Welcome, Amias, Niko." The boy said his voice gentle and friendly. "I'm Nick."

"Where are we?" Niko asked, not even fazed that Nick knew who he was.

Nick smiled. "You're where no one has gone before."

"That's a pretty vague answer." Amias and Niko looked around as one of the other occupants of the room spoke up. It was one of the two females. She had dark black hair and sparkling blue eyes. "I'm Kora and to answer your question more precisely, you're in Kale's soul."

"What!" The two psychic's exclaimed. "How's that possible?"

"We let you in." Nick replied. "We let you in because it's only through one of you that we can help Kale."

"Again." A young man with wild red hair and bright green eyes said.

"Easy Max." Kora scolded.

"Hey, this'll be the...I lost track of how many times we've helped him since our deaths."

"Wait a minute." Niko spoke up, finally catching up with the conversation. "We're in Kale's soul?"

"Why do you sound so surprised? Don't you believe in souls?" Nick asked.

"But that's not a part of the mind."

The occupants of the room laughed and it was a tall, lean young man with long black hair and silver-green eyes that replied. "Of course it is. The soul is the very basis of your being. It's a part of your mind and your body. It's where Kale's power resides and why we're still connected to him."

"Rez is right." Max said. "We'll be connected to him until the day he dies and even then a little piece of us will always be attached to the power."

"Wow." Amias murmured, totally blown away by what he was learning. "So, we're in his soul, but this isn't where he's hiding. How are we supposed to help him now?"

"With the strength of your two minds one of us can journey into that pretty little wall he's hiding behind and drag him out kicking and screaming." Kora replied.

"I'll go." Nick and another boy with short black hair and piercing green eyes volunteered at the same time.

"Not again. We already settled this fight, Valin." Kora scolded. "Nick is going."

"But I want to help damnit, he's my best friend." Valin grumbled childishly.

"Valin." Rez barked and instantly the argument was dropped. "There's no time for petty arguing. Niko and Amias must take Nick to help Kale immediately."

Niko and Amias shared a look, neither one sure of what they were supposed to do. They looked back at Nick for an explanation. The taller man grinned.

"Let me guess, no idea how we're going to do this?"

"Nope." The two said at the same time.

"It's real easy, first we'll--."

"Nick!" The room exclaimed at the same time.

"I was just trying to--."

"GO!"

Nick stuck his tongue out at his teammates. "You guys suck."

ZzZzZ

Hunter grunted as he was knocked onto his back, but quickly rolled backwards as Crimson brought his shield down where he'd been. In a fluid motion he rolled to his feet while pulling his staff. He swung at Crimson's head, but the Psycho easily blocked it with his shield and kicked Hunter's chest sending the Crimson Ranger tumbling backwards. Crimson followed, swinging his shield at Hunter's head, but the ranger managed to use the tumbling to get to his feet and easily dodged.

"Why don't you just give up Crimson Ranger? You'll never have what it takes to beat me." Crimson sneered.

"Rangers don't give up." Hunter snarled in reply.

"No, but you do die."

"Not by your hand."

Crimson laughed. "We'll see about that."

"You've been saying that for weeks now." Hunter taunted. "You've yet to deliver."

"I can change that!" Crimson growled, his good mood gone. "For once you don't have your brother to rely on. It's just you and me, no teammates or brothers."

"Fine with me. Bring it on."

Psycho Silver and Psycho Gold stood watching the battle. Gold wanted to jump in and fight even though their target wasn't there, but Silver was just bored. He knew that Sebastien wasn't dead and he wanted to finish what he started. Until he was told to do otherwise he was just going to watch and wait and hope that his prey would show up.

Dustin and Shane managed to get back to back at first, but that had quickly gotten ruined by too many foot soldiers and two determined Psycho Rangers. Psycho Red could feel his leadership slipping. Psycho Blue and Psycho Crimson were loyal to him, but he could just feel the defiance from the other Psychos. They weren't going to follow him for long unless he proved his worth as a leader. That meant devastating the Red Ranger.

All the Rangers were struggling. There were too many enemies. When they could throw off a few foot soldiers they would end up with a Psycho Ranger or Knight of Destruction after them. Tori went down unconscious when Psycho Green side stepped Cam's kick and it hit her instead. Cam moved to check on her, but was assaulted by both Psycho Rangers. He struggled to keep up with them both while not showing the weakness in his knee. A kick to his back caused him to stumble right into Green's grasp. Green grabbed him by his throat and lifted him off his feet.

"For the Sensei's son you're not much of a fighter, Cam." Psycho Green taunted. "Maybe you should stick with computers, where you belong."

Cam struggled to get out of his enemy's grasp, but Psycho Green was too strong and he wasn't letting go. Suddenly Green grunted and stumbled forward, dropping Cam as he did. The Psycho Ranger grabbed the back of his head and turned to see who had attacked him, but all he found was the Lion Hammer laying innocently on the ground. Psycho Green smirked and reached down and picked up the weapon. He then lunged forward and caught Dustin with his back turned and bashed the Yellow Ranger's head as hard as he could. Dustin crumpled instantly and it was Cam's quick lunge forward that saved Dustin's life. The Samurai grabbed the hammer and yanked backwards, offsetting Green's balance. Keeping a hold of the hammer he swiveled around and caught Green with a kick to the chest that knocked Green on his back. He then quickly transported both Dustin and Tori out of the fight.

Each of the three Battle Rangers was dealing with one of the Knights of Destruction, trying to keep them out of the other Rangers' hair. Harper tried to use his shoulder mounted rocket launcher, but Mesaus smacked the rocket to the side and it destroyed a house instead. Sizvu and Kardan were having similar problems and instead struggled to find each other and fight their opponents using teamwork.

Psycho Yellow was not fairing well against Psycho Bronze and Psycho Purple. He was sure his leg was broken in two places from one of Bronze's attacks, but he had to stay on his feet. He was biting back screams of pain with every move he made and there was no way to hide the injury. Psycho Bronze focused on keeping Yellow ducking things while Purple kept kicking and attacking his broken leg. Yellow struggled to get out of their range, but they followed, ruthlessly attacking him.

Niko I need you! Yellow screamed mentally. NIKO!

ZzZzZ

NIKO!

Niko jerked as the mental yell resonated through his mind and into Kale's. He recognized the voice instantly. It was Zadan. His teammate was in trouble and judging by the strain in his voice he was in pain too. It distracted him and he was almost pulled back into his own mind, but he knew he had to stay and finish the job.

"Go Niko." Amias said. "Nick and I can finish this."

"Are you sure?" Niko asked.

"Go, your teammate is just as important as Kale is." Nick said. "Don't forget that."

"I won't. Thanks guys." Niko said. He then shimmered out of sight as he pulled his mind back.

Amias glanced at Nick. "Let's do this quickly. I have a feeling Kale is really needed right now."

ZzZzZ

Blake grunted as Psycho Teal's mace knocked him forward. He spun and got his staff up just in time to deflect a crushing blow. Teal followed viciously, unrelenting and without mercy. He used a mighty swing to knock Blake's staff away and then swung a death blow at the Navy Ranger's head. Blake ducked, but Teal had anticipated and swung the mace swiftly back the other way. The spiked head caught Blake just under the chin and lifted him off his feet a few inches before he fell flat on his back. Teal laughed and moved in for the kill when he was attacked by a streak of Navy. As he hit the ground the streak materialized into Psycho Navy, who stood protectively in front of the one he had once sworn to kill.

"Traitor." Teal hissed.

Navy rolled his eyes. "Oh please, I've already been through this with my ex-teammates. You think I give a rat's ass if you think I'm a traitor?"

"Die!" Teal roared as he lunged forward.

Navy ducked Teal's wild swing and drove the end of his quarterstaff into Teal's chest. He smacked the Psycho upside the head with the quarterstaff and did a leg sweep, taking the Teal to the ground. He then stood up quickly and stepped down on Teal's throat. The metal neck guard shrieked angrily and Teal gasped, looking up into Navy's glowing visor.

"You'll pay for this." Teal vowed.

"I doubt it." Navy retorted with a roll of his eyes. "Run along little dog, go back to your Master's heel."

Teal growled defiantly, but transported away just the same. Navy helped Blake to his feet and then quickly streaked off to help Yellow. Navy was only a few feet from Yellow when a black streak struck him from the side. In the time it took him to blink twice he found himself on the ground dazed with a boot on his chest pushing down. He gasped, looking up into Psycho Black's helmet. He couldn't help but wonder why Psycho Black was targeting him.

ZzZzZ

Kale cried out in anguish as he watched Shadow Rogue stab Kora through the heart. The Red Ranger tried to stand, but the life drained out of her quickly. Valin and Max attacked in unison, trying to catch Shadow Rogue off guard, but the more experienced and much more powerful Rogue spun and caught them both by the throat. Kale yelled, trying to beg for their lives, but Shadow Rogue snapped both their necks with ease. Kale screamed in fury, the gem on his forehead beginning to glow, and lunged into the fight. Shadow Rogue turned and effortlessly smacked him into the ground, stepping down with amazing power. Kale screamed in agony as slowly the bones in his spine shifted and cracked under the pressure.

"Kale!"

Kale looked up at the sound of his name and found Nick in all his white glory charging into the battle. The white ranger sprang into the air and swung his scythe down at Shadow Rogue's head. Shadow Rogue snickered and leaned back just enough for the blade to miss. He then grabbed the shaft of the scythe and swung Nick around into a building with vicious force. Kale felt his throat getting hoarse from screaming as the Shadow Rogue continued to step down harder and harder. Nick got to his feet quickly and lunged back into the fight. Shadow Rogue laughed at his effort and kicked Nick with the foot that wasn't on Kale's back, putting all his weight on the thrashing black ranger for just a second. As Nick stumbled back Shadow Rogue leant down and snatched Kale's mace off the ground. Kale tried to call out a warning, but his voice was broken and cracked. The Rogue swung the mace with all the strength he had, shattering Nick's helmet with one blow. He then brought the mace back for another hit, crushing the white ranger's skull with ease.

"NICK! NOOO!"

"Kale, Kale it's not real."

"NIIIIICK!"

"It's over Kale, let it go. There's nothing you could have done."

"You'll pay Shadow Rogue! You'll pay you bastard!"

"Tough talk from a ranger all alone." Shadow Rogue taunted. "Tell you what. I'm going to leave you here like this with a horribly broken back and no one to help you. I'm going to leave you here to lay and stare at your dead friends and think about how you failed them. You can ponder that until you die."

"It's not true Kale. You couldn't have done anything to save us. You didn't fail us Kale, we failed you."

"Nick?"

"This is in the past Kale, leave it there. Don't torture yourself anymore." Nick said, walking into sight. "It's time you move on and live in the present. Go back to your new friends Kale. Go back where you belong."

"I don't belong out there. I couldn't save you guys and I can't save them. Kalix is too powerful, he's too much. He ripped my mind apart."

"You can fix what he did to your mind Kale. We've had practice." Nick replied. "As for saving them, no, you alone can't save them. But they don't need saving Kale, they just need your support. Go back and fight beside them. It's almost over now."

"Nick--."

"Kale, I speak for everyone else when I say we don't blame you. We've been trying to tell you that for over three hundred years. It's time you accept that and give these Rangers the help they need." Nick insisted. He walked closer to his friend, the scene of death and gore around them fading as he neared. He leaned down and pulled Kale to his feet, Kale's back not broken at all. "Get up and be a Ranger, Kale. They need you just a little while longer."

"Are you going to leave me again?" Kale asked, his voice small and afraid.

Nick smiled, taking Kale in his arms. "I'll be with you forever Kale, in life and death. I made that promise to you and I'm going to keep it."

"I love you. I never said it, but I love you."

"You never had to Kale, I always knew." Nick replied. He leaned down and gently kissed Kale. "We'll be together again, I promise. Go back Kale, go back and make me proud."

"Yes, of course I will. I'll make you proud Nick, I promise." Kale said.

"I know."

With that Nick faded away, but Kale knew he wasn't gone. With a deep breath and a whole new batch of courage Kale surged out of the barrier he had set up in his mind. It was time for him to show Kalix what a real Ranger was all about.

ZzZzZ

Hunter yelped softly as Crimson's shield-bash connected with his ribs and sent him flying onto his back. His staff was out of reach and he knew he didn't have the time to get his Crimson Blaster. Crimson was standing over him ready to deliver the final blow. Suddenly there was a flash of crimson light and energy surged through Hunter. His pain was forgotten and he easily got to his feet. He glanced at his hand and was only slightly surprised to find the Tiger Gauntlet there. One of its eyes swiveled to look at him and then winked.

"Ah, so you called your fancy glove back. No matter, it won't save you." Crimson snarled.

He raised his shield for another bash, but was surprised to find the tiger's mouth suddenly at his gut. He only had time to gasp before blazing energy ripped through his armor and sent him flying. Crimson landed with a thump and lay perfectly still. Hunter stared at where his enemy had fallen. On one level he hoped Crimson was down for good, but on another level that was too close to murder for his comfort. He didn't waste anymore time, he began using the gauntlet to help the others.

Psycho Gold realized the threat Hunter suddenly posed and decided enough was enough. He was done waiting to get involved. With a smirk the pulled both his sickles and streaked behind an unsuspecting Hunter. He raised both the sickles and prepared to bury them in Hunter's back. He jerked both his arms down to make his move, but they stayed where they were. He jerked again and then suddenly realized there was some force holding them in place. Gold looked over his shoulder and gasped in surprise right before a fist connected with is face and he was knocked unconscious.

Psycho Silver stared at the new combatant. He'd heard Kalix talk about the Knight Ranger. He'd been shown pictures of the Knight Ranger and read files on him. Nothing compared to this, to what he was seeing. The Knight Ranger was glowing, the gems on his chest, the one on his forehead, and his whole body. Everything was glowing. He could feel the power radiating from the Ranger. It didn't take a genius to realize the battle was lost and he transported himself and Gold back to the base.

The whole battle stopped. Everyone could feel the new power on the battlefield. The Rangers were all overjoyed to see Kale, but he didn't pay attention them. His body was relaxed, but only the lizarians were fooled into believing his guard was down. The reptiles attacked, but not a one of them got close enough to hit him. All of them disintegrated as soon as they got close to the glow his body was putting off.

"This carnage stops now." Kale boomed, his voice more powerful than ever before. "Retreat or be destroyed."

"Psycho Rangers!" Psycho Black called out. Those that were still on Earth joined him instantly. "Let's show this fool what we think of that."

The Psycho Rangers charged. Kale shook his head, but knew that they wouldn't just leave. He had hoped that he wouldn't be required to show his true power. It was a false hope. He inwardly prayed that it would be enough to get rid of the present Psycho Rangers for good. With an almighty roar that nearly shook the ground he released the power he had been building up and the world exploded.
