GWEN LOOKED around the Batcave, she seemed a bit interested but then turned around to the other six rangers in front of her as well as three veteran rangers. Zara was on the computer, however she was facing the new ranger. Tia and Adam stood next to each other as they were looking at the gem.

Zara had made a morpher for the gem and before it was even placed inside the two adults were over looking it. Jenny and KZ stood next to each other, KZ was eyeing Gwen more so than others. Hunter and Artie stood by each other. Jared and Omar were next to each other, the two would silently sign to each other for small chats. Then Gwen walks over and stood in front of the new group.

"So, ranger business huh?" Gwen spoke.

Artie nods, "Yeah. We share the powers of the dinosaurs."

Gwen nods but seemed confused, "Uh- alright." She said.

Hunter crosses his arms on his chest, "What is wrong, princess?" He teased.

Gwen looks from Hunter to the adults, "I had a vision when I first found the gem. I saw a tiger- no wait a saber tooth tiger." Gwen said.

Tia glanced at Adam, "Adam."

Adam nods, "There hasn't been a saber tooth tiger ranger since Trini and Aisha back in the days when I was the Black Mighty Morphin Ranger." He said.

Jared looks at Adam, "So is this bad then?"

Adam shakes his head, "No. Actually this is very historical. Gwen, you're the third saber tooth tiger ranger but the first time this zord is for a White Ranger." He said.

Gwen smiles faintly, "Cool."

Tia walks over, "So you are aware you cannot tell a single person you are a Power Ranger." She said.

Gwen frowns, "What?"

Jenny walks in, "It's to protect them. I mean I don't think having your siblings or parents knowing would be good on you." Jenny said.

Gwen nods, "I guess."

Omar steps in, "Believe me I want to tell my folks so badly, but its our duty to protect them." He said.

Artie grins, "Our job goes unnoticed sometimes so- we might feel like nothing." Artie said.

Gwen frowns more, "Wow this sounds really depressing." She said.

KZ stepped in with her hands on her hips, "And this isn't a game. This is real life. We can't take it as a joke. We have an enemy who wants us dead and we have to be focused in order to protect the world and help our allies." KZ said.

Gwen seemed puzzled, "Allies?"

Jared smirks, "Never mind. We'll explain it later." He said.

"Looks like improvement on the zords are being made." Said Zara from the computer.

Adam turns, "Really?"

Zara gets up and walks over to the others, "Yes. It seems like another tinks and maybe the zords will be unlocked." She said.

"Maybe? Why aren't you certain, genius?" Hunter teased.

Zara shoves Hunter as she rolls her eyes, "There is another block on the zords. I assumed it had to do with Gwen being the new ranger but its not just on her zord." Zara said.

Adam looks at Zara, "Its on all of them?" He asks.

Zara nods, "I'm afraid so."

Tia looks at Zara, "What could cause that?"

Zara looks at Tia and then to the rangers, "I'm not sure."

The adults were quiet for a moment and then the alarm was going off. Everyone, including Gwen, crowded around the monitor. Standing in the park was Drago, he was accompanied with Geena. The two creatures were attacking the people, even if they people were running in fear. Drago was shouting for the rangers, actually more so he was calling for the Red Ranger. KZ glanced at her boyfriend, and she met gaze with a worried Gwen. As both girl gave Jared a worry look, they both turned their head away.

"Jared," Adam said, "Be careful. All of you."

Jared nods, "Yeah."

Jared pulls out his morpher and turns to the rest of the team.

"We morph when we're threaten. Okay?" He asks.

They all nod.

"Good, let's go." Jared said.

---

THE SEVEN rangers were walking on the grass leading them to Drago and Geena in the park. As the seven were walking toward Geena and Drago, the two villains were walking over to them.

"Jared, think we should still do this out of our suits?" Omar asks.

Jared nods as he keeps his eyes locked on Drago, "Positive."

Hunter chuckles, "Yeah what's the worst that could happen?"

Gwen shrugs, "Them killing us?" Gwen asks.

Hunter turns to her, "Shut up, rookie." He said.

Gwen grins.

The seven rangers stopped as well as the two villains. There was maybe a few steps in between them.

"So, you called?" Jared spoke.

Geena stares from the rangers to Drago, "We come at peace, for the time being." She spoke.

Omar crosses his arms on his chest, "Like we'd believe that lie." Omar said.

Artie steps in, "Yeah I remember you putting me under your control." He said.

Geena turns to Artie with a grin, "You don't have to believe us. We thought we'd warn you of something far more worst than myself and Drago."

Jenny seemed puzzled, "Why warn us?"

Gwen nods, "Aren't we enemies or something?" She added.

KZ placed her hands on her hips, "Yeah, what's your deal?" KZ asks.

Drago kept his eyes on Jared, "Master Ripto has banished us from his presence since of our failures, and he has gotten in contact with a new threat." Drago said.

Jared nods, "A threat that could threaten us both."

Drago nods, "Exactly."

Hunter joined in while standing next to Jared, "Okay I'll ask, what is this new threat?"

Geena and Drago finally shared a glance, "The seven deadly sins." Geena spoke.

---

RIPTO WAS in his throne room with Delilah. Delilah was standing in front of Ripto's throne chair.

"Where are the sins?" Ripto spoke.

Delilah holds her finger at him, "Patients my lord." She said with a smirk on her face.

Ripto huffed with annoyance, "I've been waiting far to long. If this is a hoax than I will end you for your lie." He declared.

Delilah turns to Ripto with her gold eyes, "Why would lie to you sir?"

After she said that, there was a mini earthquake. Which there was some rumble falling from the ceiling, Ripto stands and marches over to Delilah with a glare on his face. Delilah saw Ripto grab her by the neck, he clearly was not enjoying himself.

Delilah turned her eyes toward the door and motioned for the leader of the lizard army to look over. He turns to seven creatures standing there. A peacock, a snake, a snail, a lion, a toad, a goat, and a pig.

"What is this?" Ripto spoke.

Delilah was released from Ripto's grasp, "Meet the seven deadly sins."

---

IN THE park the rangers stood in shock with Geena's response to their new enemy. Jenny turned to Hunter with a worry expression, he pulls her in for a hug. Omar and Artie exchanged a worry look. Jared glanced at KZ and then turned back to Drago. KZ's eyes met Jared's then saw Gwen looked at her for a split second. Drago and Geena glanced behind them, it is obvious they are on the hunt. If they were found likely they'd be killed.

Omar nods, "So what do we do?" He asks.

"We?" Drago spoke.

"Yes, 'we'." Artie said.

Geena shakes her head, "Sorry, Blackie. You are on your own." She said.

"Then why even tell us about them?" KZ asks.

Drago's eyes still on Jared, "I thought giving a warning would do you justice and maybe if you are able to defeat them, then you are worth my battle." Drago said.

Jared gives him a faint glare, "And what are you two going to do while we handle the sins?"

Drago smirks, "None of your business, Red."

Just like that the two vanished. The seven exchanged looks and stared at each other.

"So its going to get serious from this point on." Jenny said.

Gwen shrugs, "I am still reconsidering this whole thing." She said.

Artie turns to Gwen, "You'll be fine. We all will be." He said.

Jared turns to his team, "Let's return to the Batcave, maybe Zara has figured out the error with unlocking the zords."

They all nod.

As they start running they hear Gwen say, "And why is it called the Batcave?"

---

"THE SEVEN deadly sins?" Tia, Adam, and Zara all said.

The seven rangers nods.

Tia then thought about it, "It kinda of makes sense. There are seven of you."

Adam turns to her, "Think this is a trial of some sort?" He asks.

Zara turns from the computer, "I mean maybe that explains the issue with the zords. Maybe the rangers all need to unlock a new power from defeating the sins."

"Defeating sins, yeah that doesn't sound crazy." Hunter said.

KZ nudges him, "Hush."

Zara walks over, "My team had to take trials. Remember, Tia."

Tia nods, "Yes. Myself and the other Element Rangers, minus Zara, all went on our quest." She said.

"Why not Zara?" Jenny asks.

Zara turns, "My powers were created by evil." She said.

Artie looks at Zara, "You were an evil ranger?"

Zara nods, "Yeah. I know what you went through." Zara said.

Artie forms a faint smile after hearing that.

Zara then added, "And the Beast Rangers in Norland had their upgrades when they awaken their beast spirits. Which this happened when a loved one was hurt, and I so happened to be one of those loved ones." Zara said.

Omar looks confused, "Wait you know the Beast Rangers in Norland?" He asks.

Zara shrugs, "Yeah I am currently seeing a former Beast Ranger. He was the White Falcon Ranger, his name is Nathaniel Winchester." Zara said.

Jared then joined in, "So you think if we defeat the sins we'll gain our upgrade?" He asks.

Zara nods, "That's my guess. I've been around other rangers before, and seen their powers grow stronger so this poses as a challenge." Zara said.

Adam nods.

Zara turns to Adam, "Sorry if I overstepped anything."

He shakes his head, "No. It's fine." Adam said.

Gwen looks at them, "So how do we know when they'll strike and which ones we are suppose to fight?" Gwen asks.

Tia turns to Gwen, "I guess when the time comes you'll know." Tia said.

Adam looks at the watch, "Okay, how about you all get out of here. I know you have school work to finish." Adam said.

Like that the rangers began collecting their things, which even included Gwen getting her morpher. The seven teens were leaving up the stairs to leave the adults alone in the cave to figure out this whole new situation.

"Looks like its getting more dangerous." Adam said.

Tia nods, "And are you worried?"

Adam nods, "Of course."

Zara looks at them, "Don't worry. They can handle it."

JENNY, OMAR, Artie, Jared, KZ, Hunter, and Gwen walking down the sidewalk in the direction of the Scott home which was also across the street from Gwen's place. The seven stopped at the corner of the sidewalk near both homes.

"Guys, keep your guard up from this point on. Its going to be serious." Jared said.

Everyone nods.

Omar turns to Gwen, "Remember to keep this a secret."

Gwen turns to him, "What do I say to my brothers when they question where I am going?"

"Tell them karate practice. We tell that to our parents." Jenny said.

Gwen nods, "Okay."

They all started to depart but KZ stopped Gwen for a second.

"Look, Gwen-." KZ started, "I'm sorry for being jealous."

"Why are you jealous?" Gwen asks.

KZ rubs the back of her neck, "I got this feeling you were trying to take Jared from me. And I shouldn't be mean to you, I don't even know you." KZ said.

Gwen forms a small smile, "Thanks, KZ. That means a lot. Maybe we can become friends." She said.

KZ nods, "Okay, we'll see you at school." KZ said.

Gwen nods.

Jared and Artie entered their home, Jenny and Omar continued walking down the street in the west direction, Hunter was going to direction they walked from to go to his home, KZ was going east in the direction of her home, and lastly Gwen crossed the street to her home. Outside was her uncle working on his car, he was rubbing the oil off his face and turns his attention to the girl with a smile on his face. Gwen saw him notice her and stopped before walking to the door.

"So, you made some friends?" He asks.

Gwen nods, "Yeah Uncle Pete."

Pete smiles, "Well I am glad. Your aunt and I were worried about you adjusting." He said.

Gwen nods with a faint smile, "Well I am fine. These guys- they seem cool." She said.

Pete nods, "Good."

Gwen starts to walk again but stopped, "By the way, I have joined a karate class with them."

Pete turns, "Sounds like fun. Maybe you can put those brothers of your in place." Pete said while chuckling.

Gwen nods and heads to the door, she opens the door. She turns her head to look at the Scott home, she forms a smile before entering the house.

RIPTO SMILES, "Wonderful. They are the sins."

Delilah nods, "Yes sir."

Ripto stares at the sins, "And you will destroy the rangers?"

The lion seemed to be the leader and stood forward, "Of course sir."

"And your name is?" Ripto asks.

"Wrath," The lion said.

"Pride," The peacock said.

"Envy," The snake said.

"Sloth," The snail said.

"Greed," The toad said.

"Gluttony," The pig said.

"Lust," The goat said.

Ripto grins, "Wonderful, simply wonderful." Ripto said.

Delilah turns to him, "So what is your first order for the sins, sir?" She asks.

Ripto grins, "Destroy the Power Rangers, for good."
