Earth

Dark Spectre was down for the count and the temporary pause in the battle gave the rangers to try out another Megazord combo

'Ok guys, I think we should test out the second conversion' Tommy instructed

As the arms of the Megazord disengaged and the Falcon Copter and Tiger Jet prepared to combine with the primary three Zords, Dark Spectre was receiving his orders from Deviot

'Well done Dark Spectre,' the robot congratulated the demon 'activate the matter transporter before the Megazord is armed. That way three of the rangers will be lost and their Megazord will be gone too!'

Dark Spectre recovered from his faked injury and hauled himself from the ground, opening up his claw to reveal a hidden laser. Activating the device, he fired an energy beam directly at the Megazord. The energy emanating from the beam forced Cassie and Andrew to steer their Zords away from the attempted combination with the Megazord, which was now shuddering violently

'What's going on?' Kim screamed as sparks burst from the consoles around her 'we're losing power!'

'Tommy what do we do?' TJ asked, however Tommy didn't answer

'The Megazord is being compromised,' Billy's voiced informed them from the speaker 'Dark Spectre is sending the Megazord to somewhere else in space to split up the team and take away our only means of fighting him on such a scale. You don't have much time, there's no way of reversing the effects but we'll find you as soon as we can'

'Thanks Billy, we'll do whatever we can to help' Tommy muttered in a disgruntled manner, just as the Megazord disappeared from sight. Meanwhile, Dark Spectre was ready for a second round of battle and proceeded to kick the Wolf Cruiser and pick up and throw the Tail Spinner.

'What do we do now?!' Carlos yelled as his Zord hit the ground

'Hang in there guys' Billy replied

'What are we gonna do Billy?' Ashley asked, concern written all over her face

'I don't know Ashley.' The first Blue Ranger replied gravely 'I just don't know...'

KO-35

Two Quantrons fell with a sweep of Cathan's Lunar Lance as the Black Ranger fought against Darkonda's forces. His fellow rangers were all equipped with their primary weapons and Astro Blasters as they brought down the army of Quantrons that blocked their path to Andros and Zhane. Cathan drew his own blaster and quickly fired down the last of the Quantrons, before the rangers once again stood in rank against Darkonda

'You're going down' Cathan stated as he aimed his blaster at Darkonda

'We'll see about that ranger' Darkonda snarled, but was interrupted by Deviot's voice in his ear

'Darkonda retreat,' Deviot instructed 'I am preparing for the final phase of my plan'

With a disgruntled murmur, the villain decided it would be better to listen to Deviot and have a better opportunity of bringing down all the rangers rather than just one team

'Looks like I can't stay and chat, but I'm sure we'll meet again soon' Darkonda told the rangers before teleporting away. Despite their confusion, the rangers knew they needed to break up the fight between their team mates

'I don't think any amount of intervention will break them up; we have to force them to power down' Cathan instructed 'form the Quadroblaster'

The rangers did as they were told, and fired the concentrated beam straight at the conflicting pair. As expected, the two were forced to the ground by the massive explosion and were demorphed as a result. They lay unconscious on the ground, while the other Space rangers demorphed and went to help

'Get them back home and we'll see whether they still hate each other when they wake' Cathan told his team mates 'let's hope Darkonda's spell has worn off...'

Terra Venture

Villamax was at the head of a large Stingwinger army, sword raised and ready; their presence had raised alarms on Terra Venture, which meant the rangers would be here soon and Trakeena's force could begin its assault

With the villainess and her general on Terra Venture, Deviot was alone in aboard the Scorpion Stinger, giving him the opportunity to plot with his generals. With Dark Spectre's advantageous position over the remaining RPM Rangers, Deviot had decided to allow him to continue with his attack while prepping Darkonda and Dark Menace

'The Space rangers should be kept busy by your spell Darkonda, so we don't need to worry about them for now,' Deviot was saying 'however there are still two more ranger teams out there who need to be defeated. With three of the rangers out of the way for the time being, Dark Spectre should have no problem defeating the remaining RPM rangers, while the Galaxy rangers will have their hands full with Trakeena-'

'What if she defeats them? How do we defeat her, when she is commanding an army of that size?' Dark Menace interrupted

'A very good question, but one I have fully prepared for' Deviot continued 'While they are preoccupied with each other, we are going to destroy them both!'

'And how exactly do you plan to do that?' Darkonda questioned

'It will all become clear soon...' Deviot answered mysteriously as he angled the Scorpion Stinger laser towards one of the engines supporting Terra Venture...

Power Chamber

Jason was watching as Dark Spectre threw the Falcon Copter to the ground; since Tommy, TJ and Kim had been teleported elsewhere the rangers hadn't been fairing well, particularly Andrew

'Poor kid, I never even managed to get one training session in with him before all this' Jason was saying

'I don't think anything could've prepared him for this,' Ashley comforted him 'he's been thrown in at the deep end and right now there's little we can do'

'She's right Jason, don't beat yourself up about it' Billy interjected 'we're doing our best; I'm trying to locate the others as we speak'

'Are you sure there's nothing I can do?' Jason sounded urgent 'I have to be able to help' the expression on Jason's face told Billy that he was willing to do anything to help his friends

Deciding it was time, Billy moved towards a small metal container with a keypad on what was seemingly its door. He entered the code, seeing a green light before the door opened slowly. Billy withdrew the item inside and handed it to Jason

'This is the only thing capable of helping the team, but you have to be sure you're willing to take the risk...'

Jason took the object and looked at it; if this was the only thing that could help the team, then he had no choice but to use it...
