The rangers arrive at the scene of the attack as a blast flies by, narrowly missing them.
Ny: whoa! That was close
Kelsey: too close
They look and see Mantor laughing maniacally as he lays waste around him. He spots the rangers and grins.
Mantor: ahh it's about time rangers. So, you've come to your doom
Brandon: (drawing sword and pointing it at Mantor) yeah and this time we'll stop you
Mantor: We'll see. Drazors (the robots from before appear) attack
The robots charge at the rangers who draw their swords and charge at them. After a quick skirmish the rangers finish the Drazors and turn to Mantor.
Mantor: (yawning) oh no you defeated my Drazors whatever will I do?
Brandon: go back to where you came from.
Greg: and tell your boss he can't have this planet.
Mantor: (laughs and draws sword) or I could destroy you and he can begin his invasion of this pathetic planet.
The rangers go to rush at mantor. Suddenly a beam of light shoots from the sky and hits the ground between the rangers and Mantor. When the light disappears, there is a figure in crimson red armor standing there.
Kate: (watching from power chamber) oh no!
Brandon: who the fuck?
?: Mantor, you have disobeyed a direct order.
Mantor: yeah so?
?: for that you will pay
The mysterious being holds out a hand and a battle axe appears in it. They then move at an alarming speed alongside Mantor. At first it doesn't look like anything happened. Then Mantor falls into 2 pieces and explodes. The figure then turns to the rangers who raise their swords.
20
?: hah you're not worth my time rangers
Kelsey: why did you do that? Wasn't Mantor on your side?
?: Lord Omegor does not like to be disobeyed. Those who do pay the ultimate price. Mantor wished to return to finish the job, but was ordered to remain on the ship.
The figure then teleports away.
Rangers: (confused) power down
The rangers return to the power chamber where Kate is waiting for them.
Kate: welcome back. Looks like your skills have definitely improved.
Kelsey: who the fuck was that?
Kate: Omegor rules his army with an iron fist. Who you just saw is one of his enforcers, their job is to make sure that his rules are followed to the letter. My guess is Omegor learned that Mantor came to Earth despite his orders. And sent the enforcer to stop him.
Ian: that's a great way to keep a strong army
Kate: it's how he ensures his rule is absolute. If one would disobey him who's to say others won't as well. He makes an example of any who challenge his rule.
Brandon: that's rough. (looking at phone) crap I have work in 20 minutes I have to go.
He teleports out of the power chamber. Ian and Kelsey say the same thing and teleport away as well.
Greg: (checking time) I still have a few hours but I have something to do before work. See you guys later
?:
The scene switches to the inside of a conference room. There are a bunch of people sitting around a table looking anxious. The door opens and a man and a woman enter and walk to the end of the table. We see on the woman's upper arm a weird triangle symbol.
Woman at table: what's this meeting about Brian?
Brian: the day we've been waiting for has finally arrived.
Man at table: do you mean?
21
Brian: yes Omegor has returned. I just received word this morning
The woman with the tattoo hands out the folders she has in her arms to the people around the table.
Brian: thank you Tiffany. these are your assignments moving forward.
The people around the table open their folders and look at the contents. Each one seems to contain pictures and documents.
Person at table: what about the rangers don't we need to find them?
Brian: already taken care of
Man: by who Zordon II?
Brian: no. it seems like our old friend Willow has taken things into her own hands
Woman: willow? Are we sure we can trust her? After all she is….
Brian: enough Nancy. Willow fought him 10,000 years ago if that's not proof enough I don't know what is. I would trust her more then anyone else with this task
Trucchis:
The scene switches back to Trucchis. We see several of the rangers working. Brandon is currently bagging for Kelsey.
Brandon: (to customer) have a good day
The customer walks away and Brandon turns to Kelsey
Brandon: hey Kelsey?
Kelsey: what's up?
Brandon: (whispering) do you know why did Kate called us earlier?
Greg: (walking over) yeah I was wondering the same thing.
Kelsey tells the two of them about the weird dream she had.
Kelsey: I know it seems silly but it just seemed so real.
Greg: (thinking for a moment) that is weird.
22
Another customer comes up to the register and the three get back to work. Greg decides to talk to Kate the next chance he gets.
Ruined City:
The scene shifts to what appears to be a ruined city. There is a sudden explosion of rubble and a ton of Drazors appear with a monster.
Monster: (looking around) spread out and search the area, they're here somewhere.
The Drazors spread out and begin searching the area. Nearby we see eight hooded figures watching from behind some rubble.
?: we need to do something
They start to stand up and another grabs them by the shoulder.
? 2: like what? Without our powers we're defenseless, we'd be defeated in seconds.
? 3: I wish Kate was here she'd know what to do.
A drazor comes around the rubble and spots the eight. A blaster bolt takes it's head off but not before it's able to alert the monster.
? 4: (blaster in hand) great we've been spotted
The 8 are then surrounded by drazors. The monster approaches and throws back on of their hoods. We see it's a young woman around our ranger's ages. The rest of them throw off their hoods to see it's 4 woman and 4 men. There is a look of pure hatred on their faces and nothing else.
Monster: at last, I've found you.
He raises his sword and starts to bring it down when a blaster bolt hits it from behind. He turns around surprised.
Monster: you!
We don't see who shot the monster, but we see the 8 humans stand up with their blasters raised as the scene ends.
Trucchis:
23
The scene switches over to Trucchis once more. Brandon and a female employee are helping customers outside. All of a sudden a white power ranger appears out of nowhere. The two see them and rush over as they collapse to the ground. We see their ranger armor is similar in appearance to that of our rangers.
Female employee: is that?
Brandon: yes
The white ranger speaks but we can't quite hear what they say. Brandon leans in closer to their face.
Ranger: Kate
Female: Brandon they're asking for Kate. But she's not here today. What should we do?
Brandon: Brielle stay here with them I'll be right back.
Brielle nods and stays with the ranger while Brandon walks a little bit away and activates his communicator.
Brandon: (over communicator) hey Kate?
Kate: (sounding surprised) what's up Brandon?
Brandon: there's uh a power ranger here looking for you
Kate: (surprised) a power ranger?
Brandon: yes
Kate: on my way
Kate arrives a moment later and her and Brandon walk over to where Brielle is comforting the ranger. Kate looks at the ranger and is visibly shocked.
Brielle: I think they're dying.
Ranger: come closer
Kate moves over to the ranger and kneels down. The ranger pulls her closer and appears to whisper something in her ear. The ranger then goes completely still. Kate stands back up and says a quick prayer for a fallen comrade.
Brielle: okay what the fuck just happened?
24
Kate: (looking at Brielle) listen to me you 2. You are not to speak of what you just witnessed. Your lives might be in danger if you do.
Brandon and Brielle nod and Kate teleports away with the white ranger. Brandon and Brielle realize they have customers to help and get back to work.
Power Chamber:
Kate arrives back at the power chamber and alpha walks over.
Alpha: is that what I think it is?
Kate places a hand on the ranger's left wrist.
Kate: power down
The ranger's armor disappears and we see that it's an older woman lying there.
Kate: yes
Alpha: but that's impossible. The white morpher was lost years ago.
Kate: yes but she's from the future.
Kate removes the morpher from the woman's wrist and places it inside of her pocket.
Alpha: so what now?
Kate: don't say anything to the others about this. Brandon knows but the others don't. I'll keep this as a backup plan.
Later that night:
Kate is sitting in the power chamber typing away on the console when all of a sudden the alarm starts blaring. She pushes a button on the console.
Rangers: (groggily) go ahead Kate
Kate: rangers report to the power chamber
The rangers arrive and alpha activates the viewing globe. We see a monster shooting flames out of a sword in his hand.
Monster: come on out rangers
Brandon: ready?
25
Others: ready
All: Dragon Thunder power up hah
They teleport to the scene of the attack. When they arrive they are immediately surrounded by Drazors. The rangers draw their swords and easily defeat the drazors. They then turn their attention to the monster.
Monster: (leaning against a nearby wall) oh you're already done? Good I was getting bored.
Brandon: (pointing sword) leave now or else
Monster: hah. Why would I do that? You defeated a few grunts so what?
Ny: fine have it your way
The 5 charge at the monster and swing their swords. They make contact with the monster's body but bounce right off. After several more attempts fail the monster swings his staff knocking them to the ground.
Ian: (activating communicator) Kate any ideas?
Kate: rangers summon your dragon battle weapons
Brandon: right
Rangers: dragon battle weapon
A new weapon appears in each of the ranger's hands. Brandon gets a second sword, Greg gets a flail, Ian gets a dual blade battle axe, Ny gets a whip and Kelsey gets a bow
Kelsey: (looking down) this is more like it
Monster: (looking at the new weapons) new weapons? That still won't be enough to stop the mighty Pyrax
The rangers charge in and, using their new weapons actually manage to deal some damage to Pyrax. After a bit Pyrax steps back and raises his staff, speaking an incantation. A massive fireball flies at the rangers, who barely manage to dodge out of the way. He raises his staff again but stops turning away.
Pyrax: but Lord Dia…. Yes sir on my way
He then turns back to the rangers, who are slowly getting back to their feet.
Pyrax: count yourselves lucky humans. I'll depart for now, but next time I will destroy you.
26
Without another word Pyrax teleports away leaving the rangers baffled.
Ny: okay?
Greg: what was that about?
Brandon: and who's name was he about to say?
Ny: (confused) what do you mean?
Ian: I heard it too he said Lord Dia. Who the fuck is that?
The five of them return to the power chamber to find Kate waiting for them.
Kate: welcome back
Brandon: (holding shoulder) you ever hear of anyone by the name Dia?
Kate: (confused) Dia? No why do you ask?
Ian: that monster received an order to return to base from someone he named Lord Dia.
Kate: I have no idea.
Kelsey: is he maybe one of Omegor's generals?
Ian: but why would he call them lord and not general?
Kate: last I knew Omegor has 3 generals in his army. Morticai, Psyclone and Patricor. But as Ian said he wouldn't have referred to a general as lord. That would probably get him destroyed by Omegor
Brandon yawns covering his mouth.
Brandon: alright listen if you guys wanna talk all night about this go ahead. But I have work early tomorrow. Good night
Others: night
