== Episode ==
Spark, his ship (the Whitefang), and his crew have landed in the middle of a forest. The Whitefang's first mate, a Pyrrian named Blaze Asherah, uses his hand to activate the diagnostics on the rocket, and a voice says that the rocket is 92% damaged. Kiana is amazed by the voice, and Spark explains that it's the rocket's AI. Dawn, a Zephyrite, is upset that the rocket won't be able to fly, but Sierra is still happy because Zariel and Kiana are now Power Rangers. Kiana asks what a Power Ranger is. Zariel is shocked that Kiana doesn't know about the Power Rangers franchise, but he explains to her that whenever the stars begin to dim, the Power Rangers use the Astral Codex to save the world. Zariel and Kiana are excited to be such an important person, but Dawn is still in a bad mood.
Night comes, and the rocket is still not fixed. Nova is tired, so she flops on top of Zariel, startling him. Dawn explains that Nova must be tired from summoning two portals, turning Zariel and Kiana into Astral Knights Red and Green respectively, and re-creating the Astral Codex. Iron Heart then demands that Zariel give him the Astral Codex, as it's an intergalactic treasure. Zariel wants the Astral Codex, though, as he got it first. The two get into a fight, and Blaze is not amused. Zariel eventually wins the fight and Iron Heart orders him to find a shelter for Nova. Zariel invites Kiana and Spark's crew to his house, surprising Blaze.
Zariel's cat, Meow, then appears, scaring Dawn. Zariel calms her down by explaining that Meow is nice and won't hurt him. After this, Spark's crew arrives outside of Zariel's house. Spark activates a teleportation device to secretly teleport Zariel and Kiana up through Zariel's window. Zariel asks why they're being so secretive and Blaze explains that they don't want to be alienated and stuff.
Zariel, Kiana, Spark and Dawn make it into the bedroom and Spark is amazed by Zariel's space-themed bedroom. Zariel says that it used to be the study room used by his adoptive Terran dad, before it became his room. Dawn is then surprised by Zariel's books and tech, and Spark remarks about the low-tech way humans have of storing information. Zariel says that books and tech are great because they can take the reader anywhere.
"Hmmm... Books have some sort of warp technology?"
"No. Not actually. I've heard of warp tech, BUT that isn't how a book works."
Zariel's adoptive grandfather then announces his arrival, and Iron Heart hides Spark by lifting him onto the ceiling. Zariel's adoptive grandfather is upset that Zariel's room is a mess. Zariel's adoptive grandfather orders Zariel to come down for dinner and leaves.
Downstairs, Zariel joins his family at the dinner table. His adoptive mother asks if Zariel found the mysterious creature he was looking for earlier that day. Zariel says that he found her, but that she couldn't be found, confusing his adoptive mom. Zariel goes upstairs to bring some food to Spark's crew. However, only Dawn, Blaze, Sierra and Iron Heart are there, as Spark has gone to repair the Whitefang.
Outside, Spark asks the rocket's AI how likely it is that he'll become a Power Ranger. The AI responds that the probability is 0.000000012%. This disappoints Spark, who asks what Zariel's and Kiana’s probabilities were before their morphs. Zariel's probability was 9.99%, and Kiana’s was the same as Spark's. This surprises Spark.
"Wow. Zariel is lucky!"
Then, Zariel calls Spark and offers his onigiri, a Japanese snack. Spark confuses them for rocks and doesn't want to eat them. He reveals that he has his own food: cosmo-gummies. Zariel is amazed by them. Spark senses that he wants to have one, so he gives Zariel a cosmo-gummy. Zariel loves it. He then tells Spark that he really should at least try an onigiri because he has no idea if he'll like it or not. Spark is disgusted by the idea, but he forces himself to take a bite. He finds that the onigiri is incredibly tasty, despite being quite sour in the middle.
Zariel tells Spark that he's amazed at his ability to fly and fix the rocket. Spark says that it's only natural for him to know those things as he's an adult. Zariel asks how old Spark is and Spark says (with the help of the AI) that he's 17 Terran years and 2 Terran days old. This makes him approximately 22.7 Lycarian years old, and therefore an adult on Lycaria (To be more precise, 22.6739727 Lycarite years old), so Spark feels that he's responsible for fixing the ship and saving Nova. Zariel understands and gives him the rest of the onigiri, and leaves, as his mother and grandparents would be mad if he stayed out late.
Meanwhile, in another area, Thrash emerges from a lake that he was in so he could replenish his fluids. He reports to a female Exiles general that a Power Ranger has appeared, but he's still determined to defeat the Ranger and obtain Nova.
The next morning, Zariel meets Spark, Iron Heart, and Nova. Zariel tells Spark "Hello!" and explains that it's an expression that Terran use to greet each other. Spark says that the people on his planet use the touch sensors at the ends of their antennae as greeting instead. Iron Heart elaborates that Spark's body is electric and are useful for things like fixing Drago's stiff neck. Zariel asks if the three have always been together and Spark says that he only met Nova, Dawn, Sierra, Iron Heart and Blaze recently. Sierra explains that far away, from Earth, on a planet namex Exarai, is the Star Temple where the 96 Exarite deities who defend the universe live. However, the Temple got swallowed by the darkness of the Dark Rain, who wanted the Exarite deities' powers (but only managed to get his hands on eight of them). The other 88 of them sent Nova away and used the last of their power to drive the Dark Rain and the Exiles away. Because of this, the Exarite deities are now lost in space. When this happened, Spark picked up a strange signal, which he and Drago's crew used to find Nova. The eight have been together ever since.
Zariel tells the others that two nights ago, Nova showed him and Kiana Exarai. Blaze is excited by this and says that as a Power Ranger, Zariel and Kiana can save the Exarite deities. This makes Spark jealous.
Later, Zariel and Kiana lead Spark to the top of a hill. Spark makes it before everyone else, so he sits down. Just then, he's spotted by Camden Galilei and he panics. Because Nova never used her magic on Camden, the two can't understand each other. Camden assumes that Spark is a foreigner. Then, Zariel comes up and says that Spark is from space. When Spark panics, Zariel backtracks and says that Spark is his friend who is totally not from space. Spark is flattered by being called a friend. Nonetheless, he's still upset that Zariel led him here. Zariel says that he wanted to show Spark the view so he could take a break from repairing the ship. Spark asks why Zariel got to become a Power Ranger even though he hasn't been with Nova as long as Spark has. Zariel notices that Spark wants to be a Power Ranger and says that if Spark really wants to be a Power Ranger, he should just be one. Spark protests that it isn't that easy since data based on past statistics says that he has next to no chance. Zariel says that the data may know the past, but it doesn't know the future.
Zariel gives the others some juice and they return home. However, they're stopped by Thrash and an army of Darkdrones. Zariel and Kiana’s Astral Knight Morphers glow, and with their powers, they morph into the Astral Knights Red and Green Rangers, respectively. Nova jumps into Spark's arms and the Darkdrones attack. Zariel/Red Ranger takes out a bunch of Darkdrones with the Leo Star Impact. Meanwhile, Spark tries to run away with Nova, but he's stopped by Thrash and trips, falling down a hill. Kiana/Green Ranger tries to help, but she's stopped by some Darkdrones.
Spark continues to run, but he's soon backed against a stone hill by Thrash. Thrash notes that he's shielding Nova, but says that miracles don't happen twice. Thrash attacks with his dual-bladed sword, only to be stopped and dragged backward by Kiana/Green Ranger. A Darkdrone surrounds Spark and Kiana/Green Ranger tells Spark to transform into a Power Ranger. Thrash says that that's impossible and sends one of his Darkdrones forth. Before it can touch Spark, Iron Heart headbutts it and Dawn carries Spark up to a higher rock.
Spark says that there's no way that he can become a Power Ranger, but Zariel/Red Ranger insists that Spark can. He tells Spark to envision the Spark he wants to be and to not say that it's impossible, regardless of what some data says. Spark says that he and his crew want to protect Nova with their own power and that they will become Rangers.
Nova suddenly releases a burst of energy and summons new Astral Knight Morphers, new Astral KeyTectors, and the Lupus, Aquila, Taurus, Vulpecula, and Scorpio Keys. Spark calls Dawn, Iron Heart, Sierra and Blaze to his side, and they morph.
The Darkdrones charge, but Blaze/Crimson Ranger defeats them by poisoning them with his tail. Thrash is in disbelief, as he still believes that miracles don't happen twice. Sierra/Purple Ranger says that the miracle was the same as last time's; it used to be Zariel and Kiana, and now it's Spark, Dawn, Iron Heart, Sierra and Blaze. Thrash tries to strike Iron Heart/Orange Ranger with his sword, but Spark/Blue Ranger unleashes his new attack: Lupus Star Impact. This finisher injures Thrash, so he and the Darkdrones teleport away.
Later, by the rocket, Zariel tells Spark that he knew he could become a Power Ranger. Spark says that he thinks he was able to become one because Zariel was, too. Suddenly, Zariel's Astral KeyTector glows. The Astral KeyTector cycles through some glitchy constellation symbols, eventually stopping at Pisces’s.
