You've gone too far this time, Rita! The voice is tinged with righteous anger. Release Trini!

That sounds like Jason!

It's not Jason, It's Billy! I can barely see him on the horizon, but he glows silver. Who is he? A new ranger? Where are Jason and Billy?

Trini takes advantage of the momentary distraction and knocks both Kim and I down. We lay sprawled out, in the middle of the power plant, trying to gain our footholds again. We've held out this long, but I'm not sure how much longer we can.

The Silver ranger jumps down, in front of us. His costume is the same as ours except for a double line of diamonds around the middle. Who is this?

Trini, you must stop this!

Who are you, Silver ranger?

I am the guardian of the morphing grid and I have chosen this form to destroy your evil manipulation, Rita Repulsa! The guardians of Light shall not stand for your trespassing. You shall be destroyed!

We will see Silver ranger. Trini, attack!

Her attacks are met by the strength of Jason's biceps. She is quick and fierce, but so is he. They match in an odd tandem of power. Trini jumps back toward her "queen".

What shall I do, my evil queen?

You're on your own, kid. Rita vanishes in a blend of evil magic dust, taking her scepter alongside and leaving an infected Trini to face the Silversaurus ranger.

She abandoned you, let us help you Trini.

Who are you?

It's a long story, Kim! Just know that everything will be alright.

I don't know who you are Silver ranger, but your time has come.

Dark daggers flow out Trini's sides into her hands and she lunges from the sky.

Silversaurus Scepter! Jason and Billy's combined voice echo like thunder and into their outstretched hand comes a blinding, tall staff with a grey orb atop it.

Each move is graceful and deadly, countered and wise. The sting of the scorpion seems to be no match for the Silversaurus Scepter. Trini, in anger, allows more of the venom to pump through her suit and, as the metallic arm strikes Billy and Jason backwards, Billy throws the scepter towards a jutting roof of the power plant's second level.

As the staff and the Ranger fall to the ground, Trini's evil cackle creeps through the sky. That is, until she realizes an avalanche of steel and debris is raining down upon her. The Silver ranger lies still for a brutal second before the suit power down and peals away, revealing both Billy and Jason.

Boys, Kim screams and runs forward to protect them and I run after Trini. I pick up the staff and hope I can weild it's power. It's not like there is much of a choice to the matter anyways.

Trini struggles to pull herself from the debris, frustrated, and then she sees me holding the staff above her head.

Do it, Zach. My knees are weak; my stomach is turning.

I can't. I don't care how evil you are.

Zach, the earth is doomed if I free myself. You must destroy the Yellow ranger. How could it have come to all this?

My dream enters my head and it all makes sense. It was all a warning. I glance at the scepter and imagine the scene. The Black ranger stands over the Yellow ranger, preparing to destroy that which he loves the most.

I can feel the hot tears drenching the inside of my power suit. For the earth.

For the earth, Zach. I muster up every ounce of terrible power I hold inside me and in my tears. Silver Scepter! The earth trembles as thunder peals through the area. Lightning strikes us like a thunderous mountain and cascades into the long scepter. I am blinded, but the screams from Trini's scorpion suit overpower the lightning.

I don't know how long I slept, but I didn't dream. I awoke in the Command Center, Billy and Trini both at my side and Jason and Kim whispering near the viewing globe.

Zach, you're awake!

Congratulations Zachary, for saving the planet. But I can't hear him. I'm too busy hugging Trini.

You're alive!

Yes, and you saved her.

But how, why, when?!

Well, the lightning of the scepter broke through the venom's sting and stunned the beast enough for us to teleport back to the Command Center. Zordon then used the power of the morphing grid to extract the venom from Trini and return the grid to its natural state.

You see, what Rita didn't realize is that I put myself into a meditative state so that I couldn't control my actions, but my mind was still clear. Her attempts to control me were futile. Seeing you hovering over me, willing to sacrifice everything for the Earth broke me free.

I never wanted to kill you.

We know you'd never do something like that unless it were necessary, but using the power of your spirit's loyalty to the cause allowed you to use our Silver scepter. Billy, Kim, and I all agree that you were the real leader today.

Jason, you can't mean?

Here, take the orb!

I couldn't. It's all just too much.

Jason set the orb in my hand, regardless of my protesting, and then a fog began to swirl heavily around the orb. It floated to the ceiling and then a great peal of thunder knocked the orb into six equal pieces. Five of those pieces floated downward while the sixth floated into the grid, trailing a line of green all the way.

The Omega Power Crystals!

Rangers, these crystals signal a new era of power for the guardians of Earth. Today, you have unlocked something deeper in the morphing grid than most others receive. The Omega Power Crystals will give you the capability to protect the Earth in ways you never imagined. A new era of peace shall soon begin.

Zordon, with the five of us, anything is possible.

I grab Trini's hand and Billy and Jason grab each other's hands. Kim's palm lands over the four of our intertwined hands. On three?

One, Two, Three! Go Rangers!
