At Rock Porium, Xander was playing a guitar, surrounded by box while Nick was setting down a couple of them to the ground. "Need any help there, Chief?" asked Xander.

"Not anymore. Thanks for asking." said Nick.

"Just doing my part." said Xander.

Suddenly Vida comes out of Toby's office. "Uh, hey, Nick, Toby wants to see you in his office." she said. "He seems really mad. His eye was doing that twitchy thing again."

"Oh man." Nick sighed. Xander stands up as Nick goes to the office and Maddie stands next to Vida. He then opens the door and looks inside. "The winner of the first ever Rockployee award goes to Mr. Nick Russell!" said Toby as he held a trophy with a guitar in the middle.

They started cheering for him as he takes the trophy into his hands. "I can't see! I can't see!" said Leelee as Vida blocks her view.

"Stop the world, I want to get off." said Lily, seeing how desperate Leelee was at trying to see the trophy.

"Thank you, Toby." said Nick as he shakes his boss' hand. "Thank you, guys. Wow. Well, I couldn't have done it without the help of my friends and co-workers, especially my little sister. Recent hires excluded. Thanks again, Toby."

The rangers cheered and clapped for Nick as they left the office. "It's amazing." said Nick.

"Looks like you and Lily finally found your groove in Briarwood." said Maddie.

"Like I told you, we've never stayed in one place long enough to have any real friends." said Nick. "But now..."

"Now you have." Maddie said, finishing his sentence.

In the chamber of the terrors, the stone tablet glowed again. "It's time for the select ceremony!"

The ball of light came out of the tablet and circled the 9 terrors before landing on Oculous. "Seems it is my turn." he said. "I have a plan to capture the light."

"Oculous, the cunning hunter." said Necrolai. "Those pesky rangers have their hands full now."

Oculous laughs as he walks through the stone. "I wonder why the stone chose him instead of me." Gekkor said.

"The stone is never wrong." said Matoombo.

"I don't care about stone rules! Argh!" bellowed Megahorn.

"Megahorn, you know we are governed by the rules." said Black Lance. "If you break the code, the consequences could be disastrous."

"I agree with Megahorn." said Serpentina. "Why do we allow the stone to tell us what to do?"

"Silence! Do you know what you are saying?" asked Itassis.

"I'm saying destroy the enemy at all costs!" said Megahorn.

"Watch your step, Megahorn." said Iron Sculpin. "You serve the master."

"Not today." said Megahorn.

Out in the woods, Daggeron and Nick were feeding Fireheart while Lily was sitting nearby reading one of her schoolbooks. "This is a dangerous time for you, Nick." said Daggeron.

"What's new?" Nick asked as he held a branch in his hands. Fire Heart bumps his head against his shoulder. "The terrors know you're the light. They will come for you." Daggeron said. "They will do anything in their power to deceive you, capture, and destroy you."

"Say what?!" shouted Lily as she puts down her book. "He's the light and is gonna get destroyed at some point! What am I, a next-door neighbor?"

Nick gives her a "Don't overreact" look before turning back to Daggeron. "I get it." said Nick.
