On The Armada Command Ship, Emperor Mavro was in the throne room, now HIS throne room, looking over some tactical maps. Like his son Vrak, he didn't believe in going into battle unprepared. The footage he had seen of the Rangers' battle with Damaras had proven very instructive. He knew that he couldn't take them lightly. He didn't even look up as his nephew burst into the room.

"Your Highness, Lavira has escaped!" He screamed. Mavro just sighed.

"She took longer than I expected." Mavro replied. Rekder just stared at him, his mouth open in shock.

"You...you knew?" Redker asked him. Mavro continued to analyse the tactical database, planning his coming invasion.

"She was in love with my son." Mavro told him. "While that may be a weakness to some, it can be a useful motivation."

"But Your Highness..."

"I have already sent out word to the rest of the fleet." Marvo interrupted him. "They will be here soon. Then, the real invasion can begin. In the meantime, Lavira can keep them occupied."

"You're using her to wear them down." Redker said with a smile. "That is genius Your Highness!"

"Go and prepare. The time will come soon enough." Mavro instructed him. Redker left the room, leaving Mavro alone. He just shook his head. "Hopefully you will not prove to be as incompetent as my son."

On Earth, the Rangers arrived on the Red Galleon, finding Troy there, running through some exercises. He had asked Tensou to call them, knowing that sooner or later they would have to come together again. While he wasn't exactly looking forward to the meeting, he figured that at least it was better that he face them in a meeting rather than take the risk of the first time they got together again being on the battlefield. His dreams had returned, and he knew that the final days of the war were coming.

As they filed in, he could see their expressions, and could read their feelings. By now, he was certain they would all know about the situation with Allison, Jake, Emma and himself.

Looking around, he wasn't entirely surprised by what he saw. Jake stood, stony faced as he stared at him, his arms folded defensively in front of him. He seemed to be more upset than angry right now. One thing that Troy knew about Jake from the time he had been friends with him was that he was passionate. He was quick to anger, but once he vented, he quickly settled. He was clearly unhappy, but he wasn't in any danger of attacking Troy again. In some ways, he had to think it was worth the cost of a punch in the face.

Emma was just hurt. She couldn't look at him, looking anywhere in the room but into Troy's face. It was still very raw to her. By comparison to Jake, he was a lot more confident that a day would come that she would forgive him for what happened, but right now, it was still too painful.

Noah and Gia both seemed judgemental, and angry. He wasn't in the slightest surprised. Noah had been best friends with Jake for most of his life, while Gia and Emma were almost sisters. He knew they would be angry with him for hurting their friends. So far, that anger was bubbling just under the surface, but Gia especially concerned him. From the looks of her, he wasn't sure if he could expect another attack.

Orion was a little harder to read. He was friends with all of them, but hadn't been friends with any of them for very long. He clearly wasn't happy with Troy, but he didn't seem to take what had happened as being as much of a betrayal as the others. Troy wasn't sure if that was down to Andresian culture, or just the fact he wasn't as connected to the whole situation as the others. Either way, it wasn't a sure thing that he would follow Troy in battle any longer.

"My dreams have returned. I'm certain the final days are coming." Troy announced. "With that in mind, we're all going to have to fight together."

He could see the others staring at him, and took a deep breath.

"By now, I'm sure you all know what happened." Troy answered. "The coming battles are too important. We can't take any chances. With that in mind, we need to get rid of the elephant in the room."

Troy took a seat as he looked to them.

"I will be a part of this battle. Whether I'm leading the team or not is up to you. I will lead or follow as you see fit." He told them. "Either way, if there's anything you want to get off your chests, now's the time."

The others just looked to each other, trying to figure out who would go first. Eventually, Jake stepped forward.

In another part of the galaxy, Gosei's ship burst through a worm-hole, appearing at the edge of a solar system Jordan didn't recognise. He stared at the display, seeing unfamiliar worlds orbiting a bright red sun.

"This is incredible." Jordan stated. "I know the Eltarians had this kind of technology but...we're in a different solar system. The nearest star to our own is four light years away!"

"This one is 28 light years from Earth." Gosei informed him. He pointed to one planet. "That world there is called Veluria. That is our destination."

"Veluria?" Jordan asked. "What are we going there for?"

"Veluria is a world ruled by The Armada." The Blue Centurion informed him as he checked the power cell in his blaster. "The entire planet is a forge. They mine it for resources, before the factories spanning its surface manufacture weapons for Emperor Mavro's campaign."

"So...we're here to destroy a factory?" Jordan asked.

"Not exactly." Gosei answered. "We have intelligence that this world makes extensive use of slave labour. It is easier for The Armada to force others to work than it is to program robots to perform those tasks."

"Slave labour?" Jordan asked. He suddenly got a thought. "You mean...?"

"Andresians were among the greatest miners in the universe." The Sentinel Knight informed him. "It was a natural choice for The Armada to use them to man their mines."

"We've been tracking the sale of Andresian slaves." Alpha 5 informed him. "Sadly, most of them didn't make it, but there are thousands left, all of whom ended up here."

"So we're going to spring them?" Jordan asked with a smile.

"We're going to enforce the intergalactic anti-slavery treaty." The Blue Centurion replied as he headed to the back of the ship. Jordan followed as Gosei and the Sentinel Knight went with him. As the ship breached the atmosphere, they all assembled on the entrance ramp. It slowly descended, opening up into the open air. Jordan formed up his Robo Knight armour around himself.

"So, we attack when we land?" Jordan asked. The Blue Centurion just turned and looked at him.

"Land?" He asked, before stepping backwards off the ramp. Jordan watched as the Sentinel Knight also leapt from the ramp. Gosei looked to Jordan.

"Come with me my son." He stated, before he leapt out. Jordan just took a deep breath.

"Here goes nothing." He answered as he ran and leapt out of the ship, plummeting towards the ground. The four warriors slammed into the ground, sending up debris and creating massive craters in the ground. Buildings all around them shook as they landed. As they stood up, they saw a gold-armoured Commander came out of a building, flanked by Kingsmen.

"What is the meaning of this?" He demanded.

"Yellzor, you are hereby charged with the illegal purchase and enforced labour of sentient beings under the intergalactic anti-slavery treaty!" The Blue Centurion called out in a loud booming voice. "You have the right to remain silent..."

Just then, the whole area flooded as dozens of X-borgs, bruisers and Kingsmen flooded into the street.

"I'm guessing that's a no." Jordan said as he pulled out his Robo Blade.

"Then I suppose we can add resisting arrest to the list of charges." The Blue Centurion stated as he pulled out his blaster, firing it and destroying one of the Kingsmen beside the golden armoured Commander.

Back on the Red Galleon, Gia looked to Troy as it came to her opportunity to speak. She had a lot to say, but since Emma was in the room, she tried to rein herself in. There was a part of her that wanted to rush over and continue where Jake had left off, to hurt Troy as much as he had hurt them, but she knew that would only hurt Emma.

"Troy, what you did broke a lot of trusts." Gia told him. "I don't know what did or didn't happen between you and Allison, and to be honest it's none of my business, but what you did, the way you cheated...you did the one thing that none of us ever thought you would. You betrayed the team."

"For what it's worth, we didn't do anything while we were with Jake and Emma." Troy told the team. "We both agreed that this would be painful enough, we couldn't cheat on you."

"Be that as it may, what you did hurt Emma and Jake, and it broke their trust." Gia told him. "You have to see how that puts us in a bad place as a team. We've had The Armada breathing down our necks for almost two years, for the last year...we've had a significant part of the planet on our case too. All we've had is each other! The only thing we have is that we can trust each other, and you broke that!"

"I know, and I don't think there's anything I can say that'll ever make that right." Troy agreed. "I can't expect any of you to forgive us, and I certainly can't expect any of you to be our friends after what happened, but like you said, the one thing we have right now is each other."

He took a seat and looked to the others.

"So the only question is, with the world at stake, do you all trust me to fight by your side?" He asked them. They all looked around each other, uncertain how to respond to that.

"I...I do." Emma finally managed to force out, causing them all to look around. Of all of them, she was the one that had the most reason to turn her back on him. She finally looked up to him. "What you did hurts, but I know how important our mission is to you. I know your heart more than anyone else here. My heart is another matter, but I know I'd trust you with my life in a second. I'll follow you into battle."

"I don't like what you did." Orion stated. "But you've been a good leader up until now, and I've never doubted you in battle. I'll follow you."

"I'm in." Noah stated. "You're a great Ranger, even if I doubt you as a friend."

Gia pulled in close, getting right into Troy's ear.

"If you hurt Emma one more time, I'll end you myself." She warned him, before pulling back. "I'll follow you."

Jake just stared at Troy, before breathing a sigh.

"I might not like you much as a person right now, but I respect you as a Ranger." Jake answered. "I'll follow you."

Just then, they all heard an alarm. Tensou flew into the room.

"Rangers, there's an attack in the city!" Tensou squealed. He brought up an image on the screen, letting them see what was happening. They all watched as a green Megazord, with a face in the chest was tearing through the city.

"That Megazord...it looks like Lavira." Jake stated.

"I guess we did kind of kill her fiancé." Noah conceded. "She was going to be Queen of the Universe...and now..."

"It doesn't matter how much she's hurting." Jake put down flatly. "She's attacking our planet, she's going down!"

"Alright guys, let's do this!" Troy called out as he pulled out his morpher.

Back on Veluria, the battle raged through the streets. Slaves ran for their lives as the four warriors tore through the guards. Jordan sliced through a Bruiser, turning in time to see his father demolishing a couple of bruisers.

"Dad, look out!" He screamed as he opened fire with his Robo Blaster, smashing a Kingsman into oblivion. Gosei just looked to him.

"I knew he was there." He stated.

"Sure you did." Jordan taunted him, smirking a little. "You just don't want to admit your baby boy's better at this stuff than you."

Gosei opened fire, two blasts barely missing either side of Jordan's head, taking out a couple of Kingsmen that were coming up behind him. Gosei just strode over, patting him on the shoulder.

"I've been doing this a long time." He told him. "Just...DUCK!"

With that, Yellzor came crashing backwards through a wall, landing in the street only feet from them. The Blue Centurion followed him, grabbing him and picking him up.

"You have the right to remain SILENT!" He yelled, slamming him into the ground, smashing the concrete. "Anything you DO say..." He picked him up, swinging him around, smashing him through a wall. "...will be taken in EVIDENCE..." He leapt into the air, before driving Yellzor into the street, sending asphalt flying. "...in an Intergalactic COURT!"

He finished by throwing him through another building. As Yellzor started to pull himself to his feet.

"Do you understand your rights as they have been read to you?" He asked. Yellzor went for a blaster, but the Blue Centurion was faster, unleashing the full power of his blaster, tearing him to pieces. He put his weapon away.

"Tell me, do they EVER go quietly?" Gosei asked.

"My job would be boring if they did." The Blue Centurion replied. Just then, the Sentinel Knight joined them.

"The last of the guards have been destroyed." He told them as the Alphas landed the spaceship. "I'm preparing to teleport the slaves to Earth."

"Then it's time to make the call." Gosei told them. As the Sentinel Knight teleported the slaves to Earth, and the others boarded the ship, Gosei pulled out a communicator.

"They're on the way." He stated. "Take care of them. It's almost time."
