Plot
Diego decides to drink the spirit waters, and trancend to the spirit real to talk with his father. He does and he asks about Bartolemeau. Diego XV reveals everything.

"Bartolemeau, is your cousin. I exiled his father after he plotted to use the Sprirt Waters to conquer the Earth. I've made my problems your's son. I'm sorry."

Diego wakes up, and has mixed feelings on it. He's always looked at his father as the righteous beacon of hope, even thorugh things he thought were wrong. Like Calvin, he's questioning authority. Ayumi comforts him saying she knows how it feels to think one thing, only for reality to be false.

Meanwhile, Bartolemeau and Hook make their way to the shores of Atlantis. The fishermen look at him as an intruder, but when he pulls out the Artifact, it reveals to be a second Emperor Monolith! When it responds to his Mark Of Triton, it forms around him, becoming another Emperor Black Ranger. The Fishermen bow to him and Hook. Bartolemeau laughs manically as he walks through the people. Hook asks "What if you fail?"

Bartolemeau responds "I have nothing left to lose, I'll break the monolith, and use its power to turn into a monster and destroy Diego and get my reveng. If I die, so be it."

Calvin is seen training, trying to wash his mind clear of what happened with Scowl, SNAKE, and Ryan. He can't though.

Ava finally puts together what Bartolemeau stole.

"It's power signiture, is the same as the Emperor Monolith. I think he stole his very own Monolith! If he does, he's viable to be ruler!" Diego however, understands that his cousin's vengeance comes from a place of exile. Diego goes to talk with Calvin. He is concerned that calvin is so dejected that he has removed himself from the Earth-saving buisness, something he adamently believes in. He tries, to no avail to get him back.

Lara gives Ava the monolith, and Ava looks on in amazement "WOW, the museum had 2 more????"

As they say this, Bartolemeau begins to walk through the city. He is apprehended and brought to Diego. The two stare each other down, and he declares that he is challenging Diego for the throne. Diego accepts.

However, it is actually a trap, and Hook's forces kidnapp the generals and Rangers, holding them hostile. He throws out Ava and Diego, assuming they are dead.

The two wake up, revived by Diego's only challenger Lionel. Diego thanks him, but he says its a debt repayed, for sparing his life. The three plan to retake the empire, as everyone believes them to be dead. Ava still has the second Emperor Monolith, and suggests Lionel use it, but he suggests someone stronger.

Calvin.

Meanwhile, The rangers try to fight of Bartolemeau, but fail to do so and are put up for execution.

Diego goes back to Calvin. he gives him a brand new morpher, infused with the Emperor Monolith. It is based on Calvin's old Star Captain uniform and they converse.

"Look, I'm greatful for everything you've done for me, but all I've accomplished in my life is making dirty waters dirtier. I always throw out the baby with the bathwater. I've always been the Government's dirty bomb. I destroyed Vietnam to get the Star Orb. I destroyed GUARD to defeat SNAKE. I destroyed EDF because I kept too many secrets from my friends. I'll only make things worse"

Diego responds"The past is the past. You can't change it. I can't change what my father did to Bartolemeau and his family. But, I can change, and you can too."

"The Suit stands for evil actions, you and I know it best"

Ava asks "The suit. The suit is no different. You can change what it means. I know you believe this too Calvin. Please. We need your help"

Calvin pics up the morpher and slowly puts it on. Diego and Ava smile.

Later, Bartolemeau and Hook get ready to execute Ayumi. She laughs him off declaring him a Dictator who will fall. As she says this, The three return.

"COUSIN! WE HAVE UNFINISHED BUISNESS" Diego yells.

"NO WAY! IT'S OVER" Bartolemeau respnds. Just as he says this, Calvin walks out, Hook exclaims "Oh,no"

Bartolemeau smirks and scrambles Hook's forces. Calvin and Diego stand and morph

"EMPEROR! HERO!"

"Hero?"

"It's what you are, Calvin. I know you know this. CALL IT!"

Calvin nods

"CHANGE STANDBY! READY?"

"READY"

"TRANSFORM! EDF!"

Calvin's new form is super powered and walks right through Hook's men and his brand new Hero Shield wrecks the enemy. Diego targets Bartolemeau, and is able to defeat him. Ava saves the generals and the rangers. The 6 rangers stand together morphed. They battle Batrolemeau and send him packing.

He breaks his Monolith and mutates into a monster. The team defeats him with the StarFleet Megazord and EmperorFleet Megazord.
