Dark Specter decides that now is the time for an attack on the Universe, and sends out Astronema as well as Rita and Zedd, Mondo and Machina, and Divatox to attack different areas of the Galaxy. Zordon is brought to the Dark Fortress to watch the triumph of evil. The Alien Rangers, Gold Ranger, Phantom Ranger, and Blue Senturion are each attacked by a different villian, and captured. Zhane leaves the KO-35 rebels, who are also under attack, to bring back the Rangers

The start of the destruction, :(, all the previous people from the Power Rangers are attacked (The Gold Ranger should be able to handle everyone), anyway, there captured and Zhane leaves the rebels of KO-35? I don't know, and it is seen that Zordon is being drained of his powers. Stay tuned

-We may see no rangers in this epsiode

-No Psychos (of course)

-Darkonda probably not in it

-What happened to the Mega Winger?

-Zordon is halfway drained of his powers

Then, Astronema gathers all the Quantrons and they attack Earth

Meanwhile, all the other rangers in the universe are attacked, including the Blue Senturion (Guess he wasn't destroyed)

Alien Rangers aren't on their own planet, it seems like cogs are attacking Aquitar, and the Gold Ranger is losing (?)

On some planet, the rebels of KO-35 are being attacked and there forces are weakening, so Zhane leaves and gets help

Zhane is on his galaxy glider (why not the Mega Winger if he still has it for protection?)

He is attacked by wandering velocifighters and then is rescued by the rangers

Meanwhile, on the ship, they find out 1,000 Velocifighters are heading for Earth

The rangers go into battle and then are hit by the Velocifighters

The rangers split up, Zhane stays while the rest fight on Earth

Piranhnatrons and Quantrons are taking Earthlings captive

The rangers fight all of these "foot-soilders" but eventually lose as Darkonda comes (guess i was wrong)

Ecliptor and Darkonda combine power to knock out Ashley and Andros of their powers and eventually happens to TJ, Cassie, and Carlos

They meet up, tired and hurt, on what to do

Before that, on the Dark Fortress, Astronema meets with Zedd and Rita, saying that they have their own plan until they find out Astronema is in charge

After that, she goes and "taunts" Zordon and puts up that the Blue Senturion and Phantom Ranger losing to cogs, and some other monsters

After that, Astronema meets with Ecliptor on where to attack and shows Ecliptor a missle

Darkonda sneaks up knowing that he has a live left, steals it while Astronema is talking to Dark Spector

Darkonda steals a Velocifighter's pkane and goes with the missle to attack Dark Spector

Dark Spector, not knowing, is hit and rocks come off his body

Then, Darkonda is about to shoot the Dark Fortress, is stopped by Dark Spector and shoots fire at him and is gone, forever, but so is Dark Spector

Astronema, shocked, becomes the new Monarch of Evil

Ecliptor (or Ecliptoad) spreads the word and Divatox while attacking the Aquatain Rangers, is jealous and upset and everyone in the universe bows and an image appears

Back on the Dark Fortress, Zordon is telling "Karone" to try and stop this invasion and a spark comes out but is still evil

Notes/Permenent

Dark Spector is gone and Astronema is the new Monarch of Evil

Mega Winger still exists

By the promos of the next episode, it will look like the Astro Megazord will not be destroyed

Darkonda unexpectedly showed up and later was blown up (I thought he had 2 lives left)

Great to see everybody, Gold Ranger, Rita, but where's Rito Repulsa?

The Blue Senturion is ok

Dark Spector must have had an energy sucker machine problem because its only half way and its been a pretty long time (guess Andros was right, it does take a long time)
