The submarine was eerie, but it served the purpose of being able to bypass several dangerous cliffs and narrow rock passageways that stood between them and the island of Muranthias. Billy, Bulk, Skull, and Kimberly had been quickly escorted aboard and placed in a cargo chute for the journey.

Neither Skull nor Kimberly had regained consciousness, so Billy had spent his time trying to make them comfortable on the hard metal floor. Bulk, who was terrified beyond belief of this new adventure, had sat quietly in the corner watching Billy; it was unbelievable to him how and why Billy was so calm.

There was a loud creaking sound and Billy immediately knew that they had submerged; he could vaguely hear Rita, Zedd, and Divatox yelling at each other even though there were several levels of metal walls between the Bridge and the cargo hold. He knew that they wouldn't be proceeding directly to Muranthias because a certain type of power was apparently needed in order to get there unharmed.

"…Mmm," Kimberly suddenly groaned from the other side of the cargo hold. "It's so cold…"

Billy frowned and hurried over to where Kimberly was lying awake, but looking extremely confused and frightened, "Billy?" Kimberly asked anxiously as she gazed up at him. "Where are we?"

"We're in the cargo hold of a submarine," Billy explained as he knelt next to Kimberly. "Rita knocked you out so that you wouldn't try to escape and break your word to marry Zedison like you promised to."

Kimberly sighed, "I only made that promise so Tommy would be rescued," she replied softly, looking down at the outlandish bridal garb she was wearing. "I don't love Tommy any more than I do Mark."

Billy nodded and frowned as Kimberly slowly sat up and gazed at the floor, clearly needing space.

"…Are you sure your nephew is going to be waiting at the Angel Grove Beach for us?" Rita snapped as she guided Zedison to a seat and helped him sit down. "We need that crazy wizard to get us…"

Divatox, who was sitting in the command chair peering through the telescope at what was above the water, scoffed, "Elgar gave me his word that he and your gold plated friends would be waiting on the beach with Lerigot when we arrived," she replied haughtily. "I hope Elgar hasn't let me down."

Even though he couldn't see, Zedison was listening to the heated exchange between Divatox and his mother while his mind and heart were fraught with questions; he knew that all he could remember was being the son of Lord Zedd who was blinded after being tortured by Ivan Ooze. From what his mother and father had told him, his marriage to Kimberly would fully restore his health and create balance.

However, as Zedison sat there, he felt himself being lulled by memories of him not as Zedison, but as a blind young man surrounded by very kind teenagers that were close to his age. He could see flashes of a fight with an identical young man, yet there was no reason why he should know someone like him.

The aged face of a female warrior filled his mind and Zedison found himself visibly shaken by words suddenly filling his mind. Your heart is not lost; use it to make sure that the good survives the fight.

"Mother, I'm not feeling well," Zedison suddenly heard himself say. "May I go and visit my bride?"

Thinking that Zedison was going to infuse Kimberly with evil energy, Rita chuckled and gestured to Zedd, who was lingering near the back of the Bridge. Zedd stepped forward and touched Zedison's hand.

"I will walk you to where Kimberly is being held," Zedd grunted softly. "Take my arm and follow me."

Zedison carefully grabbed his father's hand, slowly stood, and allowed himself to be led from the room.

"Aah, we're arriving at the beach now," Divatox said eagerly. "I see two humans with Lerigot!"

Still frightened out of her wits, Aisha helped the shaken Lerigot to sit on a log that happened to be in the small beach area that they had been mysteriously transported to. Zack, meanwhile, had gathered brush and small sticks and was trying to make a small fire with a small lighter he always kept on hand.

"We need to find Zordon," Zack mumbled to himself as fire suddenly hit the logs. "He can help."

Lerigot grunted softly, but remained sitting on the log, "Where are we?" Aisha asked worriedly as she gently patted Lerigot's shoulder to keep him calm. "It's absolutely beautiful here, Zack."

"I think we're on the beach somewhere outside Angel Grove," Zack replied, suddenly recognizing the place where he used to spend a lot of free time with Jason, Billy, Kimberly, Tommy, and Trini.

Trini. Zack suddenly winced at the thought of her name; Trini had died trying to protect Earth.

Before Zack could speak his thoughts, however, he and Aisha saw a submarine rise out of the calm water and come towards the beach. Aisha screamed and hugged Lerigot anxiously, but Zack remained quiet.

Suddenly, two shark-shaped missiles came shooting out of the bottom of the submarine, across the waves, and on to the beach. They zapped at Aisha and Lerigot, but both of them dodged the shots.

Swallowing hard, Aisha reached into the pocket of her dress and pulled out a small hand mirror that Zack had given her a few weeks ago. She aimed the mirror at the laser shooting sharks and smiled as the sharks immediately exploded all over the beach. Aisha smiled, turned to Zack, and was about to suggest that they get out of there with Lerigot when the top of the submarine opened and Rita emerged from it.

"Well, well, well," Rita said in a menacing voice as she gazed at the three of them. "Hello Zack!"

Aisha screamed; the memories of Rita suddenly resurfacing in her mind, "Zack, get out of here with Lerigot while you still can," she whispered in an anxious voice, intending to stay and fight back.

Rita cackled, raised her wand, and aimed a burst of light at Aisha. Aisha's eyes went wide and she collapsed on the sand, immediately falling unconscious. Zack gasped and ran over to Lerigot.

"You have two choices, former Black Ranger," Rita said menacingly as she pointed her wand at him and Lerigot. "You can either hand over the wizard or end up a corpse like your poor little girlfriend."

Before Zack could think of what to do, Lerigot grunted softly and made his way towards the water and the waiting submarine, "Lerigot!" he exclaimed anxiously, torn between helping him, Aisha, and himself.

Rita grinned and watched as Lerigot reached the submarine, "You lose," she snapped as she raised her wand and sent another beam of energy at Zack, one that immediately knocked him out. "Goodbye."

As Rita pulled Lerigot into the submarine and Zack collapsed, Zack was suddenly engulfed in a gray beam of light and he disappeared off the beach; all that was left was a dying fire and Aisha's lifeless body.

"I can't believe it," Dr. Oliver breathed in a deeply shocked voice as he looked away from the Viewing Globe and up at Zordon. "Why would Goldar want to attack Rocky and Malcolm for no reason?"

Zordon sighed and Dr. Oliver's gaze shifted to Tommy, who was now tending to the unconscious Zack at the med-bed while Laura was off in another part of the center with Alpha doing who knows what.

"There is a reason that Rocky and Malcolm were attacked, Doctor Oliver, but I want all of the Rangers to be here when I explain things," Zordon explained in a grave voice. "Can you locate the Rangers?"

Dr. Oliver nodded, but frowned when another image suddenly appeared on the view screen; he could see Rocky lying unconscious on a medical table strapped to a backboard with a collar on his neck while doctors and nurses worked around him. The Viewing Globe suddenly fritzed and faded to nothing.

"I'll have to go back to Angel Grove and round them up one by one," Dr. Oliver said in an exasperated voice as he turned to face Zordon. "Rocky doesn't look like he's in any shape to fight, though."

Tommy frowned and looked at Zordon questioningly, "Malcolm has a digital watch and maybe I can contact him through the watch and he can get the others," Dr. Oliver said, suddenly remembering the watch that Malcolm had been given for Christmas. "I'll try contacting him through it before leaving."

Jason's heart pounded in his ears as he ran through the foyer of the Angel Grove Hospital and immediately saw that his mother, Tanya, David, Katherine, Adam, and Ashley were all sitting in the small waiting area. He swallowed hard, walked into the waiting room, and was immediately surrounded.

"I was at the Youth Center preparing for class and I got the message from Ernie," Jason explained to his mother and Kat, both of whom had come over to him. "My last class got out early, so I…."

Helen nodded, "It's good you came as quickly as you could, Jason," she replied tearfully, giving him a gentle hug. "Your father and Detective Stone are talking to Malcolm and Justin about what happened."

"Is there anything I can do, Mom?" Jason asked, hating the fact that his mother was very overwhelmed.

Before Helen could reply, a solemn looking Detective Stone came down the hallway and his expression brightened a bit when he saw Jason had arrived, "Mrs. Lee Scott, I wonder if I might borrow Jason and Miss Hillard for a moment?" he asked in a calm voice. "I'm having a bit of difficulty with the interview."

Helen nodded, "Is there any news on Malcolm or Rocky's condition yet, Detective Stone?" she asked worriedly, only briefly comforted when Katherine put a gentle arm around her. "We're all so worried."

Jason sighed, "C'mon Katherine," he said in a worried voice. "We should go help Detective Stone."

Deeply worried that Malcolm wasn't handling things well, Katherine nodded and walked alongside Jason as Detective Stone led them from the waiting room. Jason, of course, was very concerned about both Malcolm and Rocky's conditions, but he knew that asking questions would only add to people's stress.

While doctors and nurses worked on stabilizing the seriously injured and unconscious Rocky in one of the hospital's many trauma rooms, Malcolm lingered in the hallway outside and silently watched as his friend's life hung in the balance. Guilt and pain surged through Malcolm; he should have fought harder.

Malcolm sighed; a nurse had stitched up his injuries and had left him to sit in a curtained area to be interviewed by Detective Stone while Justin had been taken to another room to be given fluids for his cold and an opportunity to rest. The Zeo Powers were gone, Laura was missing, and now Rocky…

"Malcolm, I thought I told you to stay in bed?" Detective Stone, who was walking with Jason and Katherine to the curtained area, asked as he saw Malcolm standing outside of the trauma room.

Malcolm didn't reply and Jason immediately walked over to him, "Detective Stone, Kat and I will make sure Malcolm goes back to bed," he said in a gentle voice. "Just give us a few minutes with him, okay?"

Detective Stone nodded and walked off to talk to the crowd in the waiting room, "Goldar showed us no mercy," Malcolm whispered in a hollow voice. "I feel like something's very wrong now, Jason…"

Before Jason could reply, the doors to the trauma room opened and the gurney holding Rocky was suddenly wheeled out into the hallway, "We're taking him to surgery now," one of the nurses explained in a professional voice, seeing their distraught expressions. "Your friend might be paralyzed…"

The word paralyzed hit Malcolm like a ton of bricks and he lost all color in his face as the gurney was rolled off down the hallway; he suddenly felt lightheaded and immediately felt himself being grabbed from behind, "Jason, I'm all right," he whispered as he felt Jason guide him over to a wheelchair.

"Just sit down," Jason replied softly as he helped Malcolm sit. "It's not your fault this happened, man."

Malcolm sighed and suddenly closed his eyes. He placed a hand over his eyes and quietly started to cry into his hand. A sudden beeping caused him to look up and look at the digital watch on his wrist.

"9-1-1," Malcolm whispered, confused by the numbers on his watch. "Is someone asking for help?"

Jason thought for a moment and then frowned, "Do you think Zordon's trying to get in touch with us?" he asked in a soft voice so he wouldn't be overheard. "We might be needed, but we also need powers."

"I wonder if there's any way to reply," Malcolm replied softly as he began to fiddle with the buttons.

There were a few soft beeps and suddenly, Jason, Katherine, and Malcolm teleported out of the hallway.

The lights flickered and suddenly died; a moment later, the lights were restored but Mrs. Lee Scott, Ashley, and Detective Stone were nowhere to be seen. Adam, Tanya, and David looked around in confusion and were shocked when a nurse came into the room, "Excuse me, we're wondering about Rocky DeSantos and Malcolm Lee Scott," Tanya said in an anxious voice as she gave the nurse a worried look.

For a moment, the nurse quietly checked her chart, "Oh, Malcolm Lee Scott was discharged nearly an hour ago and his parents took him and Ashley Hammond home," she replied calmly. "Rocky DeSantos is still in surgery and his family is upstairs in the surgical waiting room; would you like me to take you up to the waiting room?"

"No, thank you," Adam quickly replied, confused as to what had happened. "We'll come back later."

As the nurse walked off, Adam and Tanya exchanged a confused look, "We were just here with Kat and the Lee Scotts," Adam said as they both looked at David. "What do you suppose happened, David?"

"I don't know," David replied in a soft voice. "Maybe Zordon is trying to contact you and Adam?"

Tanya shrugged, but before she could reply, she and Adam were suddenly teleported from the waiting room. David's eyes widened briefly before he composed himself and quietly left the hospital. David knew that Zordon needed the Rangers and didn't mind one bit.

The Power Chamber was quiet as Jason, Katherine, Malcolm, Adam, and Tanya touched down in the Command Center area facing Zordon. Tommy looked up from the med-bed and smiled when he saw five of his friends, but he couldn't help wonder where Rocky was. Zack, meanwhile, remained unconscious and covered by a pod that sustained his life via electric currents, so nobody knew he was there.

"Where's Rocky?" Tommy asked as he moved away from the med-bed and over to his friends.

Malcolm sighed, "Rocky and I were attacked by Goldar at the shelter and Rocky's in the hospital," he replied in a somber voice, not wanting to talk about it. "I don't think he'll be able to join us."

"Malcolm is right, Tommy," Zordon replied. "Although Rocky is injured, there is a new evil that needs to be dealt with; a wizard named Lerigot from the planet Liaria was taken hostage by a space pirate…"

Jason frowned, "The Zeo Powers were destroyed," he replied in a worried voice. "How can we help?"

"Billy knew that the Zeo Powers would be destroyed, so he created new ones," Alpha replied as he suddenly came into the command area holding the box that Laura had given him. "Turbo powers."

There was a moment of silence and Alpha opened the box, revealing six Morphers with small keys in front of them, "The Morphers can be activated by a special key," Zordon explained as he gazed at each of the six Rangers who stood before him. "Malcolm, are you sure you're well enough to participate?"

"Yes Zordon," Malcolm replied in a determined voice. "I'm well enough to participate in this mission."

Katherine peered closer at the box and noticed that there was a space in the box that looked big enough to hold a Morpher and a key, "There's a Morpher missing," she said in a worried voice. "Where is it?"

"Maybe Billy will be able to join us," Tanya said excitedly, as she had been missing Billy quite a bit.

Alpha cleared his throat anxiously, "Jason, step forward and take the Gold Morpher and key," Zordon said in a commanding voice. "You are the Gold Turbo Ranger and you will control the Sandy Wind Turbo Zord. With this Zord, you will be able to have the power of the desert at your disposal when needed."

Nodding, Jason stepped forward and took his Morpher equipment, "Tommy, step forward and take the Red Morpher and key," Zordon stated, causing Tommy to look surprised. "You are the Red Turbo Ranger and will control the Red Lightning Turbozord. You will serve as a co-leader of the team alongside Jason."

"Adam, you are the Green Turbo Ranger," Zordon said as Tommy stepped forward and took his Morpher and key. "You will control the Desert Thunder Turbozord in conjunction with the Sandy Wind Zord."

Adam nodded and quickly grabbed his Morpher and key from the box, "Katherine, you are the Pink Turbo Ranger," Zordon said as Katherine stepped forward. "The Wind Chaser Turbozord is yours."

Katherine smiled and took her Morpher and key, "Tanya, you are the Yellow Turbo Ranger," Zordon explained as Tanya stepped forward and took her Morpher and key. "You will control the Dune Star Turbozord and you will work will with the rest of the Rangers in completing this dangerous mission."

As Tanya stepped forward and claimed her key, Malcolm also stepped forward and took the white Morpher and key from the box, "Malcolm, you are the White Turbo Ranger," Zordon explained. "You will pilot the Glacier Snow Hummer and you will also weld the power to summon the elements of winter. Only use this power in times of great need."

"Where's the missing Morpher, Zordon?" Malcolm asked in a concerned voice. "We need more help…"

Suddenly, the door to the Chamber of Light opened and a figure clad in a blue power suit and helmet came walking into the command center, "Billy?" Tanya asked, hoping that Billy was joining them.

The figure silently reached up, unclipped its helmet, and removed it, revealing Laura's tired, but very determined face underneath. She looked unusually energized and her blonde hair was in a tight bun. Jason smiled at seeing that Laura was safe, as did Tommy, Katherine, Malcolm, and Adam. Tanya, however, was disappointed at Billy's absence.

"Billy was kidnapped, but gave me the box containing the Turbo Morphers," Laura explained as she walked over to the others. "Doctor Oliver and Alpha thought I would be the best one to take on Rocky's powers because I've had experience as a Ranger and I've come very far since giving my powers up. I'm the Blue Turbo Ranger and Zordon and Alpha already briefed me on my powers; I'll be manning the Mountain Blaster Turbozord..."

Jason, Adam, and Tommy frowned, "What do you mean Billy was kidnapped?" Adam asked worriedly, finally noticing the look that Tanya was giving him.

"Rangers, behold the Viewing Globe," Zordon said in a firm voice. "I will explain what you see."

Jason, Katherine, Tommy, Adam, Laura, Malcolm, and Tanya quickly gathered around the Viewing Globe just as an image of a murky cargo hold appeared. Bulk was helping Skull, who was lying on the floor, while Kimberly and a young man in a Zedd-like suit talked in another corner of the cargo hold. Billy was sitting alone in the other corner, quietly watching as Kimberly and the young man talked.

"That's Mark!" Katherine exclaimed in an anxious voice, immediately recognizing her brother.

Tommy frowned just as Zedd came into view, spoke to the man in the Zedd-like costume, and escorted him from the cargo bay. He watched as Kimberly walked over to Billy and carefully embraced him.

"The wizard Lerigot has powers that can take Divatox's submarine to the island of Muranthias," Zordon explained, prompting the seven Rangers to turn back towards him. "In order to be able to unleash the demon Maligore who lives on the island, Divatox must offer pure sacrifices. She has fooled Rita and Zedd into thinking that Zedison and Kimberly will be married on the island instead of being sacrificed."

At hearing that Kimberly had given herself to Rita and was set to marry Rita and Zedd's son, Tommy paled and swallowed hard, "Are you saying that Mark has no memories other than of being Zedison?" Katherine asked in a concerned voice as she struggled not to cry. "Is there anything we can do…?"

"You seven must take your Zords to a harbor listed in the navigational system and board a vessel called the Ghostly Galleon," Zordon explained. "The ship will take you through a passageway to the island of Muranthias and you will have two tasks; to stop the demon Maligore from being unleashed and also rescuing Bulk, Skull, Billy, Kimberly, and Mark from the fates given to them by Rita, Zedd, and Divatox."

All seven Rangers were silent, so Zordon cleared his throat, "May the Power Protect you," he stated. A moment later, the seven were teleported from the Power Chamber.

Justin sighed as he gazed at the boring hospital bed where a nurse had made him sit and receive fluids through an IV in his hand so he wouldn't get sicker. He had refused a gown and had elected to stay in his jeans, socks, and sweatshirt because it was more comfortable; he had taken off his shoes, however.

"Justin?" Detective Stone asked as he suddenly came into the room with Dr. Oliver, who had already spoken to Rocky's parents and the Lee Scotts, at his heels. "Justin, you're well enough to go home…"

Justin scoffed, "I live in a shelter that's gonna be closed down," he replied tiredly. "Besides, I wanna stay and see if Rocky's gonna be all right; I was really, really scared when that gold guy beat him up."

"You can stay at my place for a few days since Adam, Tommy, and Laura are off doing some project for school," Dr. Oliver, who had worked with Zordon to make everyone think that the other Rangers except for Malcolm were off doing a school project instead of something dangerous, stated in a gentle voice. "You need to rest."

Justin sighed, "Will Ashley be there too?" he asked in a semi-eager voice. "She's a good friend."

"I can pick her up from the Lee Scotts on the way to my house," Dr. Oliver replied calmly. "If you're feeling better in a couple of days, I'll bring you to visit Rocky. Now isn't a good time to visit him, though."

Justin nodded, "Okay," he replied in a soft voice. "The nurse said I gotta stay til the bag's empty, though."

"I can stay with you until you're released," Dr. Oliver replied gently. "Thanks for the help, Detective Stone."

Detective Stone nodded and quietly left the room. Dr. Oliver sighed and took a seat at Justin's bedside to relax and give his leg, which was now in a walking cast, a rest.
