Meanwhile, on Triforia, the other Rangers had continued their journey until they approached a large palace.

"Whoa," the Rangers breathed.

"This place is huge," Katherine gasped.

"Prodigious. It's magnificent," Billy said. Just then, the doors opened and a man came out. The Rangers became alert.

"Calm yourselves," the man the man assured them. "Now...which one of you is Jason?" he asked.

"I am," Jason responded.

"Come with me, please," the man requested.

"He goes, we all go," Tommy stated. Yeah, the Triforians were their allies, but there was just something about this guy.

"I'm afraid that's not possible," the man told him.

"Guys, it's okay. It's okay," Jason assured. He then went to follow, but another Triforian came out.

"Rangers, come quickly. Trey's anxious to see you," the man said. The Rangers quickly followed him.

"Trey!" Katherine exclaimed. She and the others hurried to their friend's side and knelt beside him.

"Oh, Trey," she murmured.

"Is there anything we can do?" Rocky asked.

"Jason and I...must complete the transfer," Trey answered.

"Why an Earthling? Why not another Triforian?" the first man asked.

"Because the powers are bonding with Jason. Now...if there no more useless questions, get me my staff!" Trey snapped.

"Yes, sir," came the response and the man hurried away. If the situation hadn't been so serious, the Earth Rangers would've laughed. The man came back with Trey's Golden Staff. Trey took the staff and motioned for Jason to also grasp it. The original Red Ranger did so.

"Jason, I give you the experience and memories of all three of my essences and now entrust you with the full responsibilities of the Gold Ranger, which includes Pyramidas," Trey said. Almost immediately, Jason was enveloped by the Gold Ranger suit.

"Thank you. I'll use the Powers wisely," he said gravely.

"May the...Power...protect you," Trey whispered. With that, he breathed his last.
