“Finish this for us, Lord Drakkon. Seize your destiny with your own two hands.”

Drakkon knew what he needed to do. His powers derived from the Grid, and his powers derived from a Princess. Separately, they weren’t enough. But together...

“It’s morphin’ time,” said Drakkon. “Morphin’ Ranger Rainbow!”

With no hesitation, he swapped his driver for the Rainbow Drive. His ordinarily white, gold, and green suit surged with an energy unfamiliar to him. Their colors shifted and overlapped. Electricity cackled off of his body, the belt sizzled with smoke as it performed an impossible task. Making Lord Drakkon the strongest Power Ranger of all time.

“Graaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

Light fought with the darkness in his heart. His desire to push others away gnawed at his desire to stay around his companions.

For the briefest of moments, his heart shut down entirely. The sheer onslaught of power threatened to tear him apart limb from limb. The only thing that kept him together was fear. Not the fear of defeat, or death.

The fear of losing his friends. For that, he realized, is what empowered a Princess.

Red, blue, yellow, green, pink, white, black, and every color in between. His new armor dazzled with each hue. Diamonds adorned his chestplate, rubies and emeralds in his gloves and boots. He quite literally glistened with each move.

“The right to dunk is a privilege of the strong,” said Drakkon. “You will regret ever stepping onto the same court as me!”
