Plot
Ken sits, thinking about his parents again. He feels that him being powerless is shows that he has failed his mission of finding out what happened to his parents and fufilling his destiny by saving his world. His power had been sucked away dry by Scorch, and now he feels worthless. Hanzo appears and asks him what's wrong, and Ken explains. Hanzo tells him that even though he does not have his ranger powers any more, he is not a failure, and that he can find his parents even without his powers.

Meanwhile, Nightfang continues to see visions. He sees his defeat at hand. He awakes again and stressses. He calls Archangel to find out what he is doing, but he can't reach them. He then decides to create another monster, not clearly thinking through. He takes a Fearites and transforms it into BlackSlash, a dark warrior of desdtruction. He gives him the task of causing destruction to increases fear because the gages are uninspiring with the lack of Fear in them.

The other three rangers realize what Sky Reign meant by the war is pointless. They figure out that nothing they do is going to stop the war. Matt tries to convince them that Varla is evil regardless, but they brush him off and wander off to the Village to help Andy.

BlackSlash attacks and Gin and Ken alert Matt. Matt takes off to fight.

Andy watches Varla to see if she is really reformed. He thinks "I hope she remembers Sauske and the others, she would have to return to the side of good. If she did she could help us destroy Nightfang forever!" As he thinks this, Alyssa, Hector and Kevin all arrive. They ask Andy why Varla is mellow and subdue, but even he can't answer why. The four confron Varla to ask about her past to see if she remembers.

The four berate her with questions, but Varla can't answer. She replies "Look, I don't know who I am, what i've really done or why I am here, so you won't get anything from me!" Andy replies "You do! I know you remember, That's why you stopped causing mayham after you saved Eri! Tell Me why!!" Varla replies "It was a mistake! Why won't anyone believe that? I dont know why I saved her, I'll never know and you'll never either!" Eri looks on sad to know that there was no truth to the act Varla did to save her life.

Meanwhile, Matt begins to fight BlackSlash while saving the humans around too. In the midst of the battle, Matt sees the destruction that the fighting has caused and still fights the Warrior. He goes in for a kick, but Blackslash jumps out of the way and Matt nearly hits a small child. However he maenuvers away fast enough to prevent from hitting the kid. After seeing the kid run away fearful. Matt realizes what Alyssa meant by the pointlessness of the war. BlackSlash escapes declaring he'll be back. After seeing that its War that has strained the lives of everyone and only through peace can it be stopped, decides to rethink their battle with the Dailok.

Archangel and Scourge talk about their agreement. Archangel, like a small child pestering their father, bothers Scourge to tell him his origin. Scourge tells him to be quiet. He looks for Varla to prove to Nightfang that he is powerful and his only reliable soldier.

Blackslash begins his attack again, but Matt stops him and defeats him in battle. He grows to giant mode, but Matt destroys him in the ApeNinja Robozord along side the Turtle Warrior Zord when Jack arrives. Jack tells Matt that its been a while since they've talked. Matt tells Jack about his revalation and what is going on. The two of them then travel to the village.

Nightfang's vissions continue. Eventualy, the dead reawken to warn their master. General Shuten and Scorch awaken to warn their master. Nightfang asks "What do you spirits want?" Shuten replies "To warn you! A traitor is around!" Nightfang states "Yes, I know its Varla! She betrayed the Dailok! Scourge told me that!' Scorch yells "My Master, you were fooled! Varla is innocent, and reliable! The real Traitor, The real Traitor is..."

Then Nightfang's son Nightshroud appears "Scourge..." Nightfang tearfully replies "My Son, what happened to you, even you!?" Nightshroud reveals, "Scourge is a traitor! he is the one who killed us all. We're dead because of him! Father we warn you and any remaining Dailok, beware of Scourge! He is the end of us all!"

"I've already sent Scourge to kill Varla, its over now!" Nightfang replies.

"It's not over yet. Our grude with the Power Ranges and Scourge is eternal! When he returns with Varla, reveal our spirits to him!" Nightshroud states. "Varla has an unbeatable Dailok spirit is honed well." Scorch adds "Our training of her has made her invincible, but she does not know it.

"Its true", Raizo reawakens to state. "as her first mentor I know this the best, she is the most powerful Dailok!"

The four of them entrust Nightfang with a new Lance to give to Varla. "Yes, I will get Vengence for all of you! You can count on that!"

Meanwhile, Scourge makes his way to the village, and finds the rangers and Varla. He tells Archangel to attack while he goes to defeat Varla. Matt and Jack arrive and begin to fight Archangel. The oother four are confronted by Scourge. Scourge declares Hello Rangers, Varla, i've  come to end you once and for all, and no one will stop me!" The four begin to fight and overmatch Scourge and push him back. They lead him out and Archangel is pushed back as well. The six gather. Matt tells Jack to protect Varla nd the citizens. Masato leaves the fight to the rangers.

The five of them declare that they will protect everyone. Matt states "You were right Alyssa, war is endless and pointless, but now we will end Scourge right now, to save every one!" Scourge and Archangel rev up and fire at the rangers. The five morph and attack. They battle for awhile, but the fight shifts to the escaping Eri. Scourge takes her as a hostage. He declares "give me Varla, or the girl is gone" Eri calls out for Varla who gets palpatations of  her former life. those pulses reawaken, and she remembers. She jumps into action, even though super weak and attacks Scourge. She declares "I remember why i fought the Dailok for so long. You are evil and creul to even the innocent. Scourge your fight is with me, let Eri go!" Matt orders Andy to fight by Varla, and they will handle Archangel. The four fight Arch angel but he escapes.
