Return Of An Old Friend, Part I - Page Three
Zack, Jason, Trini, and Kimberly continue to fight the Putties outside the Youth Center.
Billy hurries into the Youth Center, commentating to himself on how late he is. Billy is surprised to find the place empty.
Rita has been keeping an eye on the Youth Center. Rita notes one Ranger is there all alone. She walks over to Baboo and Squatt and tells them, this is great. Goldar hurries onto the balcony. Rita tells Goldar, we can put the Blue Ranger under our spell. Goldar adds, we can use him to retrieve the Dragon Dagger. Rita likes the idea.
Billy is still puzzling over the empty room when the floor beneath his feet cracks open and gas is released. Billy thinks it's some kind of hoax. He starts to cough as the gas reaches his face.
Trini, Kimberly, Jason, and Zack are kept busy battling the Putties. Suddenly the Putties vanish. Trini, Jason, Kimberly, and Zack gather together. Trini asks, what's Rita up to this time? Kimberly answers, one word, trouble. Kimberly is anxious to get back inside and see her parents. Zack comments this is all getting too strange for me. The four teens head inside.
Billy hears Rita's voice calling out to him and he is under her control.
Rita tells Billy that she is his evil queen and the power he will answer to. Rita instructs Billy to bring the Dragon Dagger.
Billy responds, yes mistress. I obey your commands. Billy vanishes.
Jason, Trini, Kimberly, and Zack hurry inside. Jason hopes their parents didn't see anything. Dramole leaves the Youth Center undetected.
Alpha 5 is working in the Command Center, when Billy suddenly appears. Zordon immediately detects something is amiss. Billy threateningly walks towards Alpha 5. Alpha 5 protests and Billy calls him a poor excuse for a transistor radio. Alpha 5 continues to protest, telling Billy that he is his friend. Billy disables Alpha 5 without hesitation. Zordon tries to reason with Billy and tells him he is under Rita's influence. Billy doesn't care. Billy yells at Zordon, you're nothing but an inflated wind bag of a head! I have a mission to complete for my mistress. The Dragon Dagger appears in Billy's hands. Zordon orders Billy to stop. Billy responds, order all you want! It's not going to help you once I return this to it's true, rightful owner. Billy teleports out.
Kimberly, Jason, Zack, and Trini enter the Youth Center and immediately become concern. Jason asks, what's going on? Trini wonders how a room full of people just disappear into thin air? Zack can think of a few possibilities and he doesn't like any of them. Kimberly spots a scarf on the floor and walks over to it. Kimberly picks up the pink scarf and tells her friends, this is my mom's scarf. I gave it to her for her birthday. Zack asks, what's happened to our parents?
