Excerpt: Power Rangers Zeo: The Next Level

“Power Rangers, I need your help.” The video message from Trey was a bit messed up due to the transmission feed being affected by the attack of the Machine Empire. “The Machine Empire has been rebuilt and has begun a hostile takeover of the universe. As the Gold Ranger powers are somewhat linked to the Zeo Crystal, he has decided to invade Triforia first. I need your help. Jason, you have experienced the use of the Gold Ranger powers and, although it will be another risk to your life force, I need you to continue using the Gold Ranger powers or else, they will be lost forever. I have become too weak to use the powers that one of my forms has been incapacitated. You will be the temporary holder of the Gold Ranger powers until you find a Triforian by the name of Trytan. He is my son who I have left on Earth just in case this day came. I’m sorry it has to be this way, Rangers. Jason, hopefully you get this message before Triforia is wiped out in one Earth week. Garronax has already left a few of his generals here and he is headed towards Earth. Good luck and may the Power protect you.” The message ended in pitch black.
