When they enter a bar, they tried to ask the manager of Fendrick Prot's location only find out that he'll only reveal Fendrick's location when if they order a drink, so Zack ask Villamax about the best drink, and they ordered it, causing the manager to keep his words. The two meet Fendrick and reveal their fake names: Jason as Nason, Zack as Kaz. They explained that they need a component for their ship, so Fendrick offered to hand over that component if they beat him in a card game. Zack offered to play the game despite Jason's protest.
In the Spectrum II, XI questioned Drakkon's decision of them going to Onyx, Drakkon revealed that this planet is where he traveled to after he escaped his prison world and there are plenty of aliens after him so he doesn't want to stay here any longer. XI suggest to repair the ship if they want to travel to Safehaven. While repairing on top of the ship, Trini question his motives to conquer the universe after dominating Earth. Drakkon replied that while living in Onyx, he always had to be prepared for anything, as someone might steal his possession. Trini compared Drakkon to Tommy but Drakkon said that Zordon is not here to make decisions for them anymore, and they'll have to make.
Back at the bar, Zack was forced to hand over his Omega Morpher to Fendrick when he lost but that victory was interrupted by a sword slashing through his upper right hand. Astronema appeared, warning the aliens that to not stand in her way of killing the two Omega Rangers. Zack tried to deny their status but Astronema see through his deception and attacked him and Fendrick revealing that he cheated in the process. Zack was about to attack him before Jason call him off deeming Astronema as the main threat. The two morph into Omega Rangers, causing one of the bartender to attack them as Emperor Gruumm put bounties on the Rangers before Astronema cutted off the bartender's arm for interfering with her fight. Zack and Jason then retreated outside the bar with Astronema following them but before the fighting can continue, S.P.D. cadets arrived to arrest the three of them.
In the Spectrum II, XI had uncovered the person who have seen the Red Emissary, Sire Lentinvous. He theorized that The First Ones created the three Emissaries as the messengers of peace while also creating the Empyreals as their shadows. With the death of the Blue Emissary, the Empyreals are awakening.
In the S.P.D. Onyx, Jason is being interrogated by the cadets after they heard he and Zack were on the planet. Jason tried to explained that he and his team are trying to prevent the tragedy that happened. When they asked for Drakkon's whereabouts, Jason denied his existence before Gorim played a recording from Zordon saying to hunt down the Omega Rangers, and Drakkon. As Zordon is an ally of the S.P.D., they believe him so when Jason refused to admit the Omega Rangers' true motives, the cadets decided to send he and Zack back to Earth so that they answer for their crimes by Zordon personally. In the cell, Zack questioned Astronema's motives of destroying the Power Rangers to which she answered that they killed their family and attacked Zack before a laser grid appeared between them. Zack offered his condolence, and questioned her actions between his or Astronema's perspectives.
Far in the desert, an intruder entered the Spectrum II, Trini, XI, and Drakkon prepare to attack before the intruder called them off, revealing himself as Ecliptor. He entered the ship because he believe that they can help him free Zack, Jason, and Astronema out of S.P.D. prison.
