Dr. K is alone in the Ranger room.  She is playing her violin as she watches the screens flash various Ranger hardware.  Dr. K becomes more and more emotional as she plays.  Summer:  Doc K!  The strings on Dr. K's violin breaks.  Summer walks in and it is very apparent to Summer that Dr. K is upset.  Summer has no idea how to help Dr. K and simply speaks softly to her.  Summer:  We're ready in the garage when you are.  Dr. K:  Thank-you Ranger Series Yellow.  I'll be right there.  Summer slowly leaves.  A single tear rolls down Dr. K's cheek.

At Venjix's base, Venjix has summon Generals Shifter, Crunch, and Tenaya 7 to his chamber.  Venjix:  Prepare yourselves to meet the final nightmare of the living.  My most horrifying creation yet.  The Reflex bot, generation 12.  The attack bot is reveal.  When the attack bot opens it's chamber, there is a mirror.  Generals Crunch and Shifter see their reflection and are horrified, not realizing it is their reflection.  Tenaya 7 asks Venjix if she should tell them.  But Venjix doesn't have any time for nonsense.  Venjix pulls out another Reflex bot.  Venjix tells Tenaya 7 she is the most reliable and he is counting on her for his plan.  Tenaya 7 points out that is not saying much.  As with the first attack bot, the second attack bot has opened his chamber and the Generals are horrified once more.

Dr. K had joined the teens in the garage.  There is a screen up with Colonel Truman and Corporal Hicks on it.  Dr. K gives the bad news.  Venjix keeps getting stronger and stronger.  The Rangers' hardware can't keep up.  Dr. K walks back to the Ranger room and the teens follow her in.  The teens are convinced something can be done.  They remind her of getting the zords all together for a new configuration.  Dr. K tells them she can't without another flux over thruster, which there are none.  The teens want to know what Dr. K is telling them.  Dr. K tells them she has no answers for what they are to do next.  Ziggy walks up and asks Dr. K if they are not the good guys.  Dr. K has a question for him - what's it like to be stupid your whole life?  Is it as wonderful as it seems?

Dr. K's question brings back memories for her.  Even as a young girl, she was very smart.  K had been riding her bike and came across another young girl, writing on the pavement with chalk.  The young girl grinned and offered the chalk to K.  K enjoy writing with the chalk on the pavement, although she did not so much draw as she wrote lots of equations, which were bewildering to the other girl.  Two adults, dressed in dark suits, walked up to them.  K got up and offered the chalk to them.

K's life completely changed after that.  K was taken to a building.  A secret government building which housed the think tank Alphabet Soup.  K was asked to do various tasks.  K spent many birthdays there and when she asked to go outside, she was told she was severely allergic to sunlight.  More time passed.  K always made the same request on her birthday, to go outside, and was always told she was still too allergic.  K's only wish was that she knew her real name.  The alarms go off and Dr. K is brought back to the present.  The teens are ready to head out and face Venjix's latest attack bot.  Dr. K monitors the battle from the Ranger room.  The zords are sent out the High Octane Megazord and the ValveMax Megazord are formed.  The two Megazords battle the Reflex bot.  Reflex bot opens his chamber and the ValveMax Megazord's weapons are replicated.  Reflex Bot uses them against ValveMax Megazord.  Green Ranger and Black Ranger are knocked out of their Megazords. 

The rest of the Rangers continue with the battle.  Things continue to go bad for the Rangers as Reflex bot now replicates High Octane Megazord's sword and uses it against the Megazord.  Yellow Ranger, Blue Ranger, and Red Ranger are knocked out as well.  Dr. K is at a loss on how to help the Rangers.  Suddenly, without warning, the Reflex bot starts to shut down and falls to the pavement.  Reflex bot is brought to the Ranger room by Colonel Truman, Corporal Hicks, and some security guards.  Colonel Truman is concern about having one of Venjix's attack bots in the room, but Dr. K is excited.  It would give her an opportunity to study Venjix's hardware.  Corporal Hicks is looking at some equipment and accidentally knocks down some items.  Dr. K asks Corporal Hicks not to touch anything.  Corporal Hicks is amazed at what Dr. K has done and asks her how she did it all.  Dr. K replies that she had some help.  Dr. K remembers working at Alphabet Soup, at yet another project, when the two adults in dark suits walked in.  The adults announced that two other people, with the same affliction, had been raised in Alphabet Soup as well.  The two had been working on Project Ranger and now they wanted to bring in K.  The two young teens raced in.  They introduced themselves as Gem and Gemma and finished each other sentences.  K didn't know what to make of the pair.  Another birthday came and Gem and Gemma brought in a present for K.  K was surprised and told them that she didn't even like them.  This didn't faze Gem and Gemma at all, because they liked K.  Their present was a pencil.  K use it when she worked on her computer.  One day, as K worked, a butterfly landed on the keyboard.  K was enchanted.  The butterfly took flight and K followed it through the numerous halls and stairs.  K entered a dark room and the butterfly flew out the high window.  At first K was alarmed with the sunlight shinning on her.  There was no reaction and it took a moment, but K realized she had been lied to.  She was not allergic to sunlight.  The alarms bring Dr. K back to the present.  There are several breaches in the shield and numerous drones are attacking.  The zords are sent out and the Rangers are ready to battle.  There is a small explosion in the attack bot and when the smoke clears, Tenaya 7 steps out.

Tenaya 7 begins walking over to Dr. K.  Dr. K presses some keys on her computer and the laser cannons come out and fire at Tenaya 7.  Meanwhile, the Rangers are having a difficult time against the numerous drones.  Tenaya 7 blasts the cannons and then continues towards Dr. K.  Dr. K holds her hands up in the air as Tenaya 7 begins working on the computer, taking control of all the zords.  The Rangers are no longer able to control their zords.  Dr. K pushes Tenaya 7 away and then hits a few keys.  A glass container comes down, enclosing Tenaya 7.  When the glass container came down, it slice off one of Tenaya 7's hands.  Tenaya 7 bangs on the container, but she cannot break free.  Dr. K works frantically trying to get the control back to the Rangers, but it is going to take awhile.  The Rangers continue with their difficult battle.  Tenaya 7 continues to bang on the container, she yells at Dr. K to let her out.  This brings back memories for Dr. K.  Dr. K remembers how badly she wanted out of Alphabet Soup.  K had found Gem and Gemma and plan to have them escape with her.  Gem and Gemma reminded her of the sunlight, and she told them they had been lied to.  K has a laptop that she places on a table.  K has downloaded the Venjix virus, it would be enough to blind the security codes and they can make their escape.  K starts the program.  Suddenly several soldiers enter the room.  The soldiers grab Gem and Gemma.  K frantically gets the flash drive with the code to stop the virus.  More soldiers grab her.  K screams at them that she needs to shut down Venjix before he leaves Alphabet Soup and takes over.  But no one listens to K.  Dr. K returns to the present.  Dr. K gets the control of the zords back to the Rangers.  Tenaya 7's hand moves across the floor and then up to the keyboard.  The hand releases Tenaya 7 from the container.  Tenaya 7 contacts Venjix and tells him to send in the second Reflex bot.  The High Octane Megazord is formed and the Rangers battle the second Reflex bot.  In the Ranger room, Dr. K and Tenaya 7 battle as well.  The battle continues to be difficult for the Rangers.

Tenaya 7 is hiding and begins whistling.  Dr. K looks all around, but doesn't see her.  Dr. K has the sonic cannon.  Tenaya 7, unseen, reminds Dr. K of the biggest mistake she had made.  Dr. K blasts the sonic cannon wildly, clearly upset.  Dr. K remembers the Venjix virus had done what she had feared, taking over the world.  Dr. K had left a recording, instructing people to go to Corinth City.  Dr. K shut the case with the morphers and was about to leave, when she was stopped by the two government workers.  The government workers did not want anyone to know that the Venjix virus had come from Alphabet Soup.   Dr. K argued with them, and they pulled guns on her.  Dr. K became frighten and back away.  Suddenly there was a commotion behind the government workers.  There was a fight and then Gem and Gemma emerged.  Dr. K told them she was glad they were her friends.  Time was running out, they had to leave.  Gem and Gemma went back for series gold and series silver.  Dr. K didn't want them to, but they took off in the shaking building.  Dr. K never saw them again.  Dr. K returns to present time, visibly shaken.  Tenaya 7 comes out of her hiding place.  Tenaya 7 has always wanted a sonic cannon and opens the chamber on Reflex bot.  But instead of the sonic cannon being reproduced, another flux over thruster is reproduced.  Dr. K grabs it and installs it.  Dr. K contacts the Rangers and tells them they can now form the Zenith Megazord.  The Rangers pull their zords together for the new formation.  The Rangers love the new Megazord and battle Reflex bot.  Back in the Ranger room, Tenaya 7 is very angry.  Tenaya 7 has realized that this was Dr. K's plan all along to get another flux over thruster.  Dr. K battles Tenaya 7 in her customary way, with her violin.  A large fan is turned on and a hole opens up in the wall.  Dr. K plays her music loud and the fan picks up,  creating a strong wind.  Dr. K has hooked herself on to some furnishing with her foot.  Tenaya 7 grabs onto a pole, but is eventually blown out of the room.  Meanwhile, the Rangers battle and destroy Reflex bot.  Back in the Ranger room, Dr. K is racked with guilt and remembers walking through devastated towns and cities to get to Corinth City.
