"Its nearly time for the ritual," Shao Kahn said as he stood in the secret chamber of Shin Getti's palace.

Every generation, the name of the Great Sage is passed down, ensuring that the responsibility of governing an entire world remained in their families bloodline. Years ago, Shao Kahn was in line to become the Great Sage, but his father felt as though he wasn't ready. Tradition dictated that the first born would replace his father as the Great Sage, but instead, they broke tradition and it was passed to his brother. Shao Kahn was furious, turning his back on his father, his brother and the Eltarian people. He vowed to one day overthrow Eltar and destroy the Great Sage, claiming the planet for his own. His brother, who by then had become the new Sage, banished Shao Kahn from Eltar, but Shao Kahn had other plans. He killed his father in cold blood, enraging the Eltarian people. The Sage trapped Shao Kahn inside the sphere of eternity, where he would remain forever. The sphere is merely a gateway to another dimension, a dimension void of life, void of goodness. Inside the sphere, time seemed much longer, so Shao Kahn had no frame of reference to when Shin Getti was trapped inside the sphere as well. Shin Getti convinced him that one day, they would be free for their prison, and when that day came, they would overthrow Eltar together, then enslave the entire universe.

Sure enough, the day came where they were freed from the sphere, but Shin Getti had no intention of overthrowing Eltar. Instead, his main concern had been revenge on his own enemies, wasting time in a deadlock with the Power Rangers. Soon, Shao Kahn realized that Shin Getti never had any intention helping him with his quest, so he realized he had to take matters into his own hands.

"Soon, Shin Getti will go back to the prison in which he belongs, and we will have our vengeance," Shao Kahn said with a sinister laugh.

Just then, several figures emerged from the shadows of the chamber, revealing themselves as the Psycho Rangers.

"Vengeance!" they said in unison.


The sun was nearly rising, but Kim hadn't slept a wink since the meeting the night before. Her mind was filled with too many other things to sleep. Kim recalled when Zolara came to her, asking for her help. She remembered putting the team together, then giving her life to save them. Then, she was put under some kind of spell and sent after her friends, and as much as she fought it, she just wasn't strong enough. 'What if I'm not strong enough this time,' she thought to herself. Once again, the lives of all of her friends were on the line, and she knew she wouldn't be able to live with herself if something happened to them.

"Nothing is going to happen to us Kim," a voice said from behind.

Kim, who had been staring at the sunrise, turned away from the window to see Ka'Ron walk in.

"How did you..." she paused as Ka'Ron pointed to the jewel on his forehead. ", Oh yeah. You think I'd be use to that by now," she sighed.

Ka'Ron walked over to her, wrapping his arms around her. "We're all glad you're back Kim, and we all trust you. Today we're going to put an end to Shin Getti and we can go back to normal lives," he explained.

"Normal? What's normal? We're power rangers, I don't think we were meant to have a normal life. There's always going to be something, some evil force, some creature from beyond the grave, something," she pointed out.

"And we'll always be here to take care of it, together," Ka'Ron said.

She smiled. "Thanks kid, I needed that," Kim said, kissing him warmly on the cheek.


In the control center, Josh was still at it, looking over analysis of the Psycho Rangers. Behind him were Jen & Ms. Fairweather, who had fallen asleep hours ago. Josh was determined to find what he was looking for, whatever it was. 'If I can save them, I will', he thought to himself. Just then, Mike walked into the room with his shirt in his hand, putting it on as he walked over to Josh.

"Find anything?" he asked.

"I found a way to shut them down hours ago, but I'd much rather find a way to eliminate the subroutines that make them evil. They're people, and they have the right to live," he explained.

"I understand what you're trying to do, but if I had to pick, I'd rather we live than them," he said.

Josh turned around. "Who are we to determine who lives and who dies? If I had to pick, I'd rather we all live," he told him.

"I understand," Mike said.

Josh leaned over the control panel, pushing a button. "Guys, this is Josh. Everyone report to the control center, its time," he said, assembling the troops.


One by one, they all headed for the control center, and first to walk into the room was Karen, who looked like she hadn't slept either. Next was Rebecca, who was wearing a tank top and some cut off shorts. She was sweating heavily, and her hair was a mess.

"What have you been doing?" Mike asked.

"Working out, take a look at these muscles," she said, flexing her muscles.

Mike, who never took his eyes off her chest, nodded. "Very nice muscles, both of them," he said, never breaking his stare.

Rebecca pushed him. "Pervert," she snapped.

Finally, Ka'Ron and Kim walked into the room. The rest of them seemed a little concerned that Kim was dressed in the green ranger uniform, and had her helmet under her arm. The twins woke Jen & Ms. Fairweather up, and they prepared for what they knew would be their greatest challenge to date.

"Everyone remembers their job, right?" Kim asked, setting her helmet on the table.

"Yes," Mike said, speaking for the group.

It was Jen who walked over to what looked like a storage unit, pulling out a plastic explosive. "It may look small, but it's packed with a piece of unstable Trixyruim. It'll blow away anything in a 2 mile range," she handed it to Karen. "Once its activated, you'll only have 60 seconds to get out of there, and because it will be emitting high levels of unstable radiation, you'll have to be at least 50 feet away from it to teleport out," Jen explained.

"Understood," she said.

Kim turned to Josh. "Josh, how close are you to shutting down the Psycho Rangers?" she asked.

"Honestly, I can shut them down now, but I'd rather be able..." she cut him short.

"I understand how you feel about this, but we don't have the time to..."

"If I can save their lives, there's always time!" he told her, standing his ground.

Kim nodded. "Stay here and work on it, but if we're taking a beating from the Psycho Rangers, I expect you to shut them down," she said.

"Deal," he said.

"Mike, you remember what we're doing?" Kim asked.

"Yeah, I'm ready," he told her.

"Good. So, if there isn't anything else, we can get going," she said.

"There is something else," a voice said.

They turned around where they saw Chris walking into the room with the black leather jacket over his shoulder.

"What do you want?" Karen snapped at him.

He walked over to her. "You were right, I was jealous. I was jealous that you and Ka'Ron were chosen to serve a purpose, do something worth wild for the world. It bothered me that I wasn't chosen, and I felt like I didn't have a purpose. I was wrong for saying what I said to you last night, and if you want me, I'd like to help," Chris explained.

They all looked around the room at one another, then at Kim, waiting for her to make the call.

"I say you were chosen to do something great, you just didn't know what it was until now," Kim said, extended her hand to him.

Chris shook her hand. "Thank you, all of you," he said.

"Okay, Chris, you'll be going to Eltar with Karen. Unless there are any questions, lets get going," she instructed.

It was Mike who turned to Rebecca and the twins.

"Lets do it," he said.

"TRIXYRUIM POWER," they called out as their ranger uniforms replaced their clothes.

"Remember guys, you only have about 23 hours before Kim's condition will be beyond treatment, so get in there, get it done and get out," Ms. Fairweather explained.

"You got it," Kim said, putting on her helmet.

"Mike, Kim, Rebecca, I'll teleport you all in at once, but Becca will come down about 100 feet from your position. Becca, just get the sphere and get out," Jen said.

"Understood," she said. In three beams of light, all of them disappeared.


Kim and Mike appeared in Shin Getti's palace, and Kim grabbed him, putting his arms behind his back.

"Stupid ranger, did you really think you could trust me? Did you really think you could oppose the power of Shin Getti?" she asked.

Mike noticed the eerie, robotic like voice had returned. "Kim, what are you doing ?" he replied.

"Just shut up and come with me ranger. You will bow before your true master," she told him.

Kim drug him into the main room of Shin Getti's palace, where Shin Getti was sitting on his thrown. The sight of the green ranger made his rise to his feet.

"The prodical son has returned," he groaned.

"Yes my Lord. I infiltrated the Aqua Base and earned their trust just as I planned, and now, to show you my loyalty, I have brought you the black ranger to do with as you will," she explained.

"Excellent, you have done well," he said.

"I live to serve," Kim told him.

"Should I kill him, or leave him to die slowly in the Sphere of eternity?" Shin Getti asked.

"If I may suggest my master, recruit him just as you have done me. Grant him the power of the crystal send him back to do away with the rangers for us," she said.

Shin Getti nodded with approval. "Excellent, we shall take him to the crystal and perform the chant. Soon, I will have two rangers under my control," he said.

"I'll never work for you," Mike screamed at him.

"Silence," Kim said, kicking Mike's legs from under him.

The three of them headed to the room where Shin Getti kept the crystal. As a precaution, the room required Shin Getti himself to open it. He placed his hand on a panel near the door, and the door opened, revealing the Elatrian Crystal.

"Hold him in place, I will perform the chant," Shin Getti told her.

Kim drug Mike over to a platform near the crystal as Shin Getti got into position. Then, it happened...

"BLACK RANGER, THUNDER SABER, ACTIVATE," Mike yelled.

His sword materialized in his hand, and he rushed after Shin Getti with all his might. Shin Getti was able to block every shot Mike tried, and with one blow, knocked him up against the opposite wall.

"Green Ranger, you know what to do," Shin Getti yelled.

"Yeah, I do," Kim said, reaching for her sword, then attacked Shin Getti herself. Again, he was able to block each shot, but Mike was back to his feet, and together they were able to hold him off.

"You have betrayed me. For this, you will suffer a fate worse than death," Shin Getti told her.

"Working for you was a fate worse than death," Kim said as her voice went back to normal, swinging with all her might. Shin Getti kicked Kim, knocking her up against the wall. Mike swung his sword, but Shin Getti caught it, then gave Mike a backhand, knocking him over.

"You fools, did you really think that you could oppose me?" he laughed.

Just then, Shin Getti was attacked from behind. He stumbled forward, then turned around, only to see the Psycho Rangers in full force. The five of them ganged up on him, each with a sword of their own, and they were able to hold him off. Finally, Shao Kahn walked in the room, admiring the destruction.

"It seems you have your hands full master, allow me to help," he said.

The Psycho Rangers held Shin Getti in place as Shao Kahn reached for his sword. He pulled back as hard as he could, then sliced Shin Getti's chest. There was a giant gash on his chest, but seconds later, the wound seemed to heal itself.

"You fool, I cannot be destroyed. I am evil itself!" he said, kicking Shao Kahn, knocking him through the wall.

The Psycho Rangers continued their fight with Shin Getti, giving Kim and Mike the chance they needed.

"We'd love to stay and see how this ends, but we're on a schedule here," Kim said as she grabbed the Eltarian crystal.

Just like that, Mike and Kim disappeared in a stream of light.


Karen and Chris appeared in what looked like an underground cavern of some sort.

"That was intense," Chris said.

Karen shrugged her shoulders. "You get use to it," she glanced around.

"Lets find the main room, drop the bomb and get out of here," she told him.

"It's so rare that I have visitors. If I had known you were coming, I would cleaned up a little," a voice said.

Zolara walked up behind them, and Chris turned around first, catching Zolara with a spin kick to the face. She stumbled back, and he caught her with a leg sweep, knocking her over.

"Just go, I'll handle this bitch," Chris told her.

Karen nodded, then ran down a hallway, coming to what looked like a computer room. She placed the explosion on the control panel, but before she could activate it, Alpha VII walked in.

"Who are you, what are you doing here?" he asked.

"If I were you little guy, I'd get the hell out of dodge in the next minute or so," she said as she activated the bomb, then rushed out the room.

Alpha headed for the bomb, looking for a way to defuse it, but quickly realized there was nothing he could do.

By the time Karen made it back to Chris, he was being overpowered by Zolara, who had him up against a wall, connecting with kicks and punches.

"Chris!" Karen yelled.

Zolara turned around, and Karen caught her with a kick right to the jaw, knocking her up against the wall. Zolara was down, and Chris grabbed her.

"You ready?" he asked. Karen nodded, then grabbed hold of Chris.

"Jen, we're ready here. Teleport us to the holding cell," Karen said.

Then, there was silence.

"Why isn't she answering?" Chris snapped.

Zolara began to laugh. "It seems we'll all die here together. I can't think of any other way I'd rather go than to have your blood on my hands," she told them.

"We must not be far enough away, the radiation is blocking the signal," Karen said.

Chris leaned over, putting Zolara over his shoulder.

"So lets go," he said. The two of them ran down a passage way, eventually coming to a dead end.

"Its over rangers, you've lost!" Zolara told them.

Chris reached for Karen's hand, and the two of them closed their eyes.


"Welcome back guys," they heard a voice say.

They opened their eyes to find themselves in the holding area in the Aqua Base.

"Don't ever scare me like that again," Karen said.

They turned around to see Zolara behind a forcefield in a holding cell. "Sorry, but we kept a lock on you, and as soon as you were far enough away, we pulled you out," Ms. Fairweather explained.

"Idiots, do you really think this box will hold me? When I get out of here, you will pay for this, all of you!" Zolara snapped.

Ignoring her, they all walked out the room.

They headed to the control center, where Kim and Mike had brought back the Eltarian Crystal. Karen, Mike and Ms. Fairweather walked into the room, and seconds later, Rebecca materialized in a stream of pink light, then put the sphere of eternity on the table.

"Its almost over guys, all we have to do now is trap Shin Getti, Shao Kahn and the Psycho Rangers in the sphere," Jen said.

"No," Kim said.

"What?" she asked.

"Shao Kahn and the Psycho Rangers helped us back there. I think that Shao Kahn is under a spell just like I was," Kim explained.

"In theory, if we trap Shin Getti in the sphere, his control over Shao Kahn will be cut off," Ms. Fairweather pointed out.

"Okay, we'll give it a shot, but if it doesn't work..." she was cut short.

"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it," Kim said.

"Agreed," Jen said.

"I've isolated the command subroutines that make the Psycho Rangers evil, and I've found a way to counter it," he handed Kim a control box.

"Just get within ten feet of the Psycho Rangers and hit the switch, that should erase the subroutines," Josh explained.

"Got it," she said.

"Wait a sec, you're going back?" Rebecca asked.

Kim nodded. "I have to, I have to trap Shin Getti inside the sphere," she told her.

"I'm going with you," she said.

"No, its too dangerous," Kim insisted.

"She's right," he paused. "Rebecca is going with you. I'm not going to let you go in by yourself," Josh told her.

"Fine," she sighed.

"The prophecy said that in the hands of someone pure of heart, the sphere of eternity will trap all evil in its presence. If Shao Kahn is trapped inside, there won't be anything you can do for him," Ms. Fairweather said.

"I understand," Kim said.

Without another word, Rebecca picked up the sphere teleported back to Shin Getti's palace.


In the palace, the Psycho Rangers and Shao Kahn were having their way with Shin Getti.

"You will beg for mercy at my feet Shin Getti," Shao Kahn yelled at him.

"You will pay for your betrayal Shao Kahn, I swear it," he sighed.

Rebecca materialized in front of them with the sphere, but wasn't sure what to do.

"Okay, activate... or something," she said.

Just then, the sphere lit up, and a beam of light shot out of it, striking both Shao Kahn and Shin Getti in the chest.

"NO!" Shin Getti yelled.

Just then, Kim materialized next to the Psycho Rangers, pushing the button the controller. It was if a weight had been lifted off their shoulders, and the five of them looked at one another with confusion.

"Where are we?" Red asked.

"They'll be plenty of time for that," Kim told them.

There was one final flash of light, and both Shin Getti and Shao Kahn were gone. "Sorry Kim," Rebecca said.

Kim shook her head. "It was his own fault," she sighed.

"You have freed us from ourselves, how can we ever repay you?" Psycho Blue asked.

"I think I have an idea," Rebecca mentioned.


Later than evening, Josh walked into Karen's room, where she was half asleep, half awake.

"So, its over, huh?" Karen asked as she saw him come in, then sat up.

"Yeah, Jen and Ms. F are treating Kim for the radiation. Soon, the Eltarian Crystal will be integrated into the Trixyruim so you and Ka'Ron won't get sick anymore, and Shao Kahn and Shin Getti are trapped inside the sphere," he explained.

"What about Zolara?" she asked.

"It seems that she was under some sort of spell from Shin Getti as well. She seems fine now, and Jen says that there is no evidence of external influence. She's herself again," Josh told her.

"And the Psycho Rangers?" she asked.

"They have agreed to stand guard over the sphere. Ms. Fairweather took it to the Temple of Light back on Eltar, it should be save there," he said.

"So, we saved the world, huh?" Karen asked.

He nodded. "Yep, we sure did," he said.

Then, it finally happened...

They moved in closer to one another, and he kissed her, slowly putting his arms around her. She leaned back in her bed, and Josh climbed on top of her, continuing to kiss her as she rubbed his back gently. Chris walked in, but when he saw the two of them, quietly let himself out, closing the door behind him.
