Harwood City
In the heart of Harwood City, everything was peaceful and quiet. There were no signs of any alien attack since the downfall of the Armada Empire. The citizens could finally rest in peace knowing they were safe. The rangers decided to spend the day at Ernie's Brain-Freeze so they could socialize and enjoy a refreshing smoothie or two.
"So Troy, how long were you in the Command Center?" Noah wondered.
Troy hesitated for a moment then replied, "Well, after I had went outside for some air, I was attacked by Zenoids. Gosei immediately teleported me back inside and used a cloning device on me, then he teleported the Troy clone back to the beach and from there, he was captured and became Prince Solarcon… Anyways, I was in the Command Center's sub-corridor. Gosei was telling me all about the Super Mega powers and…. He told me about my birth parents." He informed.
The other rangers' faces lit up at his comment. "So you know who your birth parents are?" Gia asked.
Troy sighed. "Yes, you actually fought alongside both of them a couple of days ago. The Red and Pink Lost Galaxy Rangers respectively. Leo and Karone Corbett; my aunt and uncle are the Red and Yellow Space Rangers, Andros and Ashley Hammond. The reason she still has her maiden name is because on KO-35, they don't have last names." He explained.
Emma smiled. "Wow Troy, it must be nice to finally know about your parents." She replied. The rangers continued to laugh and socialize. That was until they were interrupted by a breaking news alert.
The rangers rushed over to the television and watched the broadcast. BREAKING NEWS, the screen read. "It seems that five evil Power Rangers have surfaced and are wreaking havoc on the entire city. They are destroying everything in their path. We are urging everyone to seek shelter immediately and stay indoors." The announcer said.
Troy looked at the other rangers. "We have work to do. Let's go show them that the Power Rangers aren't a force to be trifled with." He ordered.
In the city plaza debris was falling all around. "Run you pathetic humans! The Psycho Rangers have returned and we're here to make sure, that the Power Rangers are destroyed once and for all!" Psycho Red taunted.
"Stop right there!" a voice said coming from behind the Psychos. They turned around only to see the Megaforce Rangers standing there.
"Well, well, well, what a pleasant surprise? It's the Power Losers." Psycho Pink stated.
Jake replied, "It seems you have not dealt with us yet!" he taunted angering the Psychos even more.
Troy looked to his fellow team members. "Are you guys ready?"
They all pulled out their morphers in reply. "Ready." They said.
"It's Morphin Time…Go, Go Megaforce!" they shouted.
The Megaforce Rangers charged at the Psychos and fought their evil counterpart. Proving to be too strong for them, the rangers regrouped. "Troy, they're too strong for us. I think it's time to use our upgraded power." Emma suggested.
"I think you're right, Emma. Everyone, pull out your Legendary Morphers." He instructed.
As they pulled out the morphers, the Psychos started to send a blast at the rangers, sending them to the ground. "You think a few power upgrades will help you?" Psycho Black taunted.
The rangers got back up on their feet and stood ready to fight again. "We won't back down." Noah said in reply.
"It's Morphin Time…. Super Megaforce, Initiate!" they called. The Megaforce Rangers uniforms changed to a new battle suit.
"Legend Mode, Super Megaforce Red; Legend Mode, Super Megaforce Blue; Legend Mode, Super Megaforce Yellow; Legend Mode, Super Megaforce Green; Legend Mode, Super Megaforce Pink…. Fighting For The Universe, Is A Rangers' Duty…. Power Rangers, Super Megaforce!" they called.
The Psycho Rangers were enraged. "So what, you Super Mega Rangers still can't stop us." Psycho Blue taunted.
"We'll see about that." Troy replied. They charged at the Psychos once again taking on their evil counterparts. Using their Super Megaforce Blasters, the Psychos' powers began to weaken a little.
As the rangers regrouped they decided to utilize their other powers. "Troy, Gosei said we can access the keys. Let's try it." Jake suggested. Troy nodded in response. "Let's do it. " They pulled out five keys and inserted them into the morphers.
"What's this? Another foolish attempt?" Psycho Red wondered.
"Hardly." Troy replied.
"It's Morphin Time…. Insert Ranger Key…. Let's Rocket!" They called. As soon as they inserted the keys, their suits changed from Super Megaforce to the Space Rangers.
"What?! That's impossible!" Psycho Red stated in disbelief.
"It seems the Space Rangers had no trouble in defeating you." Emma said in reply, morphed as the Pink Space Ranger.
"Power Red; Power Black; Power Blue; Power Yellow; Power Pink… Space Rangers….. Power Rangers, Power Up!" they called.
The Space Rangers pulled out their Astro Blasters, and fired the blasters at the Psychos. The blast sent the Pscyhos to the ground. They groaned in pain as they tried to stand back on their feet. "That's….that is not possible. How can they wield the powers of the Space Rangers?!" Psycho Pink questioned.
Psycho Red grunted…."It doesn't matter, we were created to do one thing, destroy the Power Rangers… No matter which Ranger powers you have access to, we won't be beaten that easily!" he taunted.
The rangers then called for their weapons. "Spiral Sabre, Astro Axe, Lunar Lance, Star Slinger, Satellite Stunner!" they shouted. "Guys, let's try the Spiral Sabre Booster Mode and Quadro-Blaster Attack!" Troy suggested. Something didn't seem right to the other rangers.
"Troy, are you sure it'll work?" Jake wondered.
Troy looked to Jake… "Oh it'll work. We will destroy the Psychos once and for all!" he boasted.
The rangers hesitated for a moment… "Let's do it." Emma replied.
"Spiral Sabre Booster Mode; Quadro-Blaster Power, Ready, Aim, Fire!" they shouted. Both weapons sent two fire balls directly at the Psychos causing a massive explosion. All that was left were pieces of scrap metal and wiring.
"That was too easy." Noah said.
At that moment, Troy then turned towards the Rangers. "Well it seems my plan worked a little too well. I must say, I never thought you four humans would fall for the clone story." He chuckled evilly.
"What?" Gia screamed.
Troy then de-morphed revealing himself to be none-other than Dark Specter. "What have you done with Troy?!" Emma demanded.
"As I said before, Troy's mind is gone. I have completely taken over his body and our powers are now one. Troy no longer exists. I am the Grand Monarch of Evil, Dark Specter." He proclaimed. "I never thought it would be so easy to deceive you. It seems my plan worked. Now, witness first hand, the destruction of your world and rise of my Empire!" he boasted.
The rangers stood there, powerless to stop him. Watching in terror Dark Specter beginning to resurrect the United Alliance of Evil.
Dark Specter conjured an army of foot soldiers with tribal markings. He keeled to his knees and began reciting an ancient spell. "Now I shall recite the ancient words, once spoken by the fallen Queen Bansherea; Forces of Evil, Gather Now as Darkness Falls!" He cited. The sky began to darken while the sun and moon converged forming a solar eclipse. The eclipse emitted an energy pulse allowing all the forces of evil to return to Earth.
Standing before Dark Specter were the original members of the UAE: Rita Repulsa, Lord Zedd, Master Vile, The Machine Empire, and Divatox. Joining them in the conquest for world domination were Scorpious and Trakeena, Queen Bansherea, Diabolico, Ransik, Master Org, Lothor, Mesegog, Emperor Grumm, The Master, Moltor, Flurious, Kamdor, the Fearcats, Dai Shi, Camille, General Venjix, Master Xandred, and the former Admiral Malkor, Creepox, Bluefur, Bigs, Metal Alice, and the Armada Empire. Dark Specter smirked evilly at the sight of all of the villainous factions teaming together.
"Welcome back, my army! It's been quite a while since some of you have been on Earth. I understand that most of you want your revenge on the Power Rangers, and you will all have your chance in time. However, you all must swear your loyalty to me." He spoke. All of his top Generals nodded in response. "Yes Dark Specter, we pledge our loyalty to only you." They replied.
Dark Specter chuckled evilly then turned back to the Megaforce Rangers… "You see rangers, you're not the only ones with reinforcements I have brought back every villain, monster, and foot soldier that has ever been defeated by any Power Ranger. Try and take us all on if you dare. For it will be your final battle. Before you're all destroyed!" he taunted.
After his taunting speech, Dark Specter and his newly resurrected members of the UAE regrouped to his Power Chamber leaving the rangers, in utter shock. "How can this have happened? I can't believe that we let him into our Command Center. Now he knows where our base is." Jake commented.
Emma then gasped. "Oh no, Gosei and Tensou!" she cried.
The rangers' teleported to the Command Center once they realized what Dark Specter had in store for the rangers' mentor.
Command Center
As the rangers returned to the Command Center they walked inside only to find debris and pieces of scrap metal. The ranger key panel had been completely dismantled and Gosei had been deactivated. Then Emma shrieked in horror as she noticed Tensou lying motionless on the ground.
She kneeled down to her knees to try and see if he was okay. "Tensou? Tensou can you hear me?" she cried. Tensou said nothing. Tears began to flood from Emma's eyes.
Gia then discovered a device lying on the ground near Gosei. "Look at this, it looks to be some recording device. As Gia picked it up, the device opened up revealing a video hologram of Dark Specter's forces destroying the Command Center. Then a hologram of Dark Specter appeared.
"I told you rangers, your final battle is near." He said then the message cut off.
Gia threw the device at the glass panel. "I can't believe it? He's won. Dark Specter has won! This is the end of the Power Rangers." Jake proclaimed.
Emma was furious at Jake's comment. She stormed over to where he was standing and smacked him across the face. "How dare you say that? We're still standing aren't we? We are not beaten yet. Gosei chose us to protect the Earth and its environment and as Power Rangers, it's our duty to carry on his legacy even though he is no longer with us." She stated.
Jake realized his comment was wrong. "You're right Emma. I'm sorry, I just… I just don't know how we are going to defeat Dark Specter?" he replied.
The rangers stood in the middle of a dark and desolate Command Center. "This can't be how it ends, can it?" Jake commented. He looked at the empty panels. Jake was filled with anger. He started walking out of the Command Center.
"Where are you going?" Gia protested.
Jake stopped in his tracks and turned his head. "I'm not just going to stand by and let the entire universe crumble in the hands of the enemy. I'm going to my Uncles' house in Angel Grove. I'm going to get some answers." The other rangers nodded and followed him along.
"So why are we going to your Uncles' house?" Gia questioned.
Jake replied, "Because they're rangers too."
Dark Specter's Power Chamber
Back inside of the Power Chamber, Dark Specter sat on his throne unamused that the rangers were still a threat. "It's not possible. No matter what evil I throw at them, I still cannot seem to destroy them!" he said in angst. At that moment, he had a brilliant idea.
He rose from his throne and walked over to the computer. "Alright, it's time to show those rangers who they're dealing with. If I send my forces to attack in waves and have them disperse out into the Universe, they can't possibly try to stop all of them." He said laughing maniacally.
He then summoned the entire UAE. The numerous factions of villains were gathered around. "Now listen, here's what we're going to do. I am going to send some of you to Earth and the rest of you to distant planets throughout the entire universe…." He informed… he then began to instruct the UAE which planets they would be in charge of destroying.
"Let's get down to business… Prince Vekar, Admiral Malkor, Master Xandred, you and your armies, as well as General Venjix, and Dai Shi's armies will assist you in conquering the Vica Galaxy; Flurious, Moltor, Kamdor, Fearcats, and the Master's armies will attack Gratha; Emperor Grumm, Mesegog, Lothor, and Master Org's armies will destroy Aquitar; Queen Bansherea's army, Scorpious, Trakeena and Divatox will go to Tri-Foria; leaving Darkonda, the Machine Empire, Master Vile, Lord Zedd, Rita Repulsa and myself to wipe out the planet Earth." He stated. All of the villains went their separate ways.
Dark Specter smirked evilly. "Power Rangers… your end is near." He murmured.
Angel Grove
Meanwhile, in the city of Angel Grove, two men were in the comfort of their own home watching the terror unfold. One of them was wearing a red t-shirt and black denim jeans while the other wore a black t-shirt and blue denim jeans.
"Rocky, babe, stop watching that…. I'm on the phone." Adam ordered.
Rocky pouted in response. "But Adam, the Mayor is declaring a city-wide evacuation." He replied.
Adam put down the phone and looked at the television. "It seems that the Governor of California has declared a State of Emergency and the Mayor of Angel Grove is asking everyone to evacuate due to the inevitable attack on our city." The announcer said.
Adam simply replied, "You forgot one thing Rock, we're Power Rangers."
"Oh yeah. It's just been so long since I've been back in battle." Rocky said in reply.
Adam gave Rocky a puzzled look. "Rock, we just got back from a massive battle against the Armada. You might've taken a major blow to the head." Adam stated.
Rocky turned his head to Adam. "So who was that on the phone?" Rocky asked.
Adam had forgotten about the phone. He rushed back to pick it up only to find the other person had disconnected the call. He looked at the caller id…. "Oh it was just our nephew, to let us know he and his friends were wanting to come over for something important." Adam stated.
Rocky was confused. "Why would he come here during an evacuation?" he asked.
Adam shrugged his shoulders. "Your guess is as good as mine." He replied.
Just then the doorbell rang. Adam walked over to the front door to let his nephew in. "Jake, come in…." he said then noticed his friends standing behind him.
"So why did you need to bring them again?" Adam questioned.
Jake then sternly replied, "We got into a heated confrontation with the Psycho Rangers and then we were blindsided by Troy…. It turned out that Dark Specter was in full control of Troy's mind and body the entire time. He took out our Command Center and destroyed our mentor Gosei and dismantled his robotic ally, Tensou; we have the ranger keys in our possession."
Adam motioned for them to come in. Jake and his friends followed Adam into the living room. Rocky stood up from the couch and ran to hug his nephew. "Jake! It's been so long since I've seen you… you've gotten so tall!" he said in amusement.
Jake chuckled a little. "Alright…. Alright Uncle Rocky, don't get all too excited now." Rocky let go of Jake. "Sorry about that Jakey." Rocky said. Gia couldn't help but laugh… "Jakey?" she wondered. Jake turned his head towards his girlfriend, "It's a long story." Jake simply said in reply.
Adam walked over towards Jake and the rest of his team. "Jake, remember even if we wanted to help, we gave up our powers so you and your team could fight against the UAE until the time is right." He reassured his nephew.
Jake looked puzzled at Adam. "So what should we do? We have no red ranger to lead us into battle?" he asked. Adam looked to Jake sternly and replied, "Jake, haven't you learned what it means to be a leader and part of a team by now?" he questioned.
Jake hesitated for a moment…"Yeah but…." He was cut off by his Uncle Rocky.
"Your Uncle Adam is right Jake, your mentor Gosei, chose you five because you each possess certain qualities that make you Power Rangers. I know that when your Uncle and I were rangers, we both have had our share of tough battles. In certain situations, you yourself must learn how to be a leader in order to become a leader." Rocky assured his nephew.
Just then the sirens began to blare and a massive explosion could be seen in the distance from the window. Jake and the others quickly morphed into action. The rangers as well as Adam and Rocky rushed over to the scene. "What happened here?" Emma questioned.
Unbeknownst to them they were being watched. "My, my, my Pink Ranger, what a pleasant surprise!" Dark Specter said maniacally.
The rangers turned towards Dark Specter only to see him joined by some very unlikely foes. Adam and Rocky were shocked and furious. "Rita, Lord Zedd?! How is that even possible? You were both purified by Zordon's wave!" Adam exclaimed.
Rita and Lord Zedd both gave each other a stern look. "We only serve Dark Specter!" Lord Zedd said in reply. He then raised his Z Staff in mid-air and blasted the rangers. Dark Specter smirked evilly…. "Lord Zedd, why don't you show Adam and Rocky how much you missed them." Dark Specter ordered. Lord Zedd nodded in response. "It will be my esteemed pleasure!" he growled.
Raising his Z Staff once more he zapped both former rangers sending them into a zombie like trance. Adam and Rocky then teleported to where Dark Specter. The rangers were in utter shock.
"What have you done to them?" Jake pleaded.
Lord Zedd laughed maniacally. "It's simple… I've given them both an attitude adjustment. Their loyalties are only too Dark Specter!" he replied. The villains plus Adam and Rocky returned to the Power Chamber leaving the rangers alone in a deserted city.
Jake fell to his knees. "I let them down." He said in discouragement. Gia ran over to Jake and put her arm on his shoulder. "Jake, I know you feel bad about not being able to help your Uncles' but you have to see the bigger picture here… As of now, you are this team's leader and right now your team needs you the most. We will get them back… I promise you that." Gia reassured him. Jake stood and turned to Gia. "Thanks G." He replied kissing her.
Power Chamber
Back in his Power Chamber, Dark Specter sat on his throne. "Excellent, now that I have them…. I can begin the next phase of my plan." He said to himself. As he stood up from his throne, the room was filled with all of the rangers, appearing to be under Dark Specter's control.
