Sensei Edward regains consciousness a few minutes later. He gets to his feet and hears a low moan. He turns around to see Sophia chained to the wall. He walks over to his granddaughter and shakes her gently. She slowly opens her eyes.
"Grandpa, you're ok." Sophia says.
"Yes, we have to get out of here. I want you to use your ninja powers to break the chains," Sensei Edward says.
Sophia says she can't because the chains are draining her powers. Edwards reminds Sophia that her inner strength powers her ninja powers. Sophia calls upon her ninja powers she has left. The chains slowly rise off the wall. A few links light up from Sophia's power flowing through them but they didn't break.
"I'm sorry grandpa I can't do it," Sophia says.
Sensei Edward encourages her to try again. She repeats what she did before the chain light up and shatters. Edward catches Sophia as she drops towards the floor. He congratulated her for a job well done.
They walk to the door and collaborate to break it down with a stomp kick. They run down the core doors of the ship. They're about to escape Sensei Edward's foots triggers one of Lothor's well placed traps. Sophia uses her powers to help them get out but the trap absorbed it. Lothor walks up a few seconds later.
"Hello silver ranger now it's time for you to become my newest minion," Lothor says.
"I'll never fight for you," Sophia snaps.
Lothor tells Sophia that she doesn't have a choice in the matter. He takes out a remote and presses the big gray button. Two beams of light fly into the trap. The first beam freezes sensei Edward so he can't help his niece. The second beam hits Sophia. She starts to feel dizzy and drops to her knees.
"Sophia!" Sensei Edward shouts.
Sophia recovers a few seconds later. She gets to her feet, and looks over at her grandpa. He sees that Lothor's mind control beam worked. Sophia's eyes weren't baby blue anymore. They're ocean blue and have an evil look in them.
"I'm fine old man," Sophia says coldly.
Lothor releases Edward from his frozen state and he runs over to her. Sophia shocks him with her powers. Sensei Edward knew how strong his niece's powers are. It's like Lothor's mind control beam didn't turn her evil it unlocked the powers that's been dormant inside her for the past eighteen years. He passes out a few seconds later.
"Take him back to the city he done exactly what I needed him to do," Lothor says.
A few kelzacks pick Edward up. They go back to the city, dump his unconscious body in the forest and teleport back to the ship. Meanwhile in the command bridge Lothor tells Sophia his plan. Sophia laughs happily after hearing his plan. He hands her a disk with virus to upload to the zords, a remote to deal with cyber Cam, and things to tie up sensei Kanoi Watanabe. She puts the disk and the remote in her left jacket pocket and the other items in her other jacket pocket.
"After you upload the virus I want you to cause a panic in the city," Lothor says.
Sophia nods and leaves the ship. Back in the city the rangers finished fighting Disinterred Immolator. They demorph and start back to ninja ops. Sasha thought she caught a glimpse of her sister ninja streaking through the city. She ignores it.
==== Silver Lightning =====
Sophia walks in Ninja Ops. Cyber Cam appears in front of her. She takes the remote out of her pocket and press the button. He starts to pixellated and fades away. She puts the remote away and turn around in time to catch sensei as he flips over to her from his mobile habitat.
"It's nap time for you guinea pig, sweet dreams," Sophia says.
She squeezes him till his passes out. She walk over to his habitat and tie him to the post. After she finished pulling the last knot tight she walk over to the computer. She turns it on, finds the zord configuration page, inserts the disk, presses enter, and watches as the virus quickly downloads crippling them.
"Have fun debugging the zords Cam," Sophia says laughing evilly.
She gets up from the chair. She morphs and decides to do a little "redecorating" before she leaves.
Cyber Cam recovers quickly and goes over to the computer. He tries to stop the virus but it was at 100%. He looks around to see the results of Sophia's redecorating of Ninja Ops. Several scrolls are touched but recoverable, and a few other items shattered around as well. Sensei wakes up and sees the mess.
The rangers come in a few seconds later. They are in shock when they see the mess. The wind rangers start to clean up. Cam runs over to the habitat. He unties him.
"Dad, what happened?" Cam asks.
Sensei tells him what happened before he passed out. Sasha couldn't believe that they were too late. Then she realizes that Disinterred Immolator's attacking the city was a diversion to give Lothor the time he needed to turn Sophia evil. She walks over to the far left wall and punches it in frustration.
I'm going to make Lothor pay for what he has done to my sister. Sasha thought.
