MOLECULAR DECODERS

Molecular Decoders

 Jason, Billy, Trini, Kimberly, Tommy, and Zack are in the Command Center.  Tommy is still having difficulty accepting the fact that Rita can take his powers.  I don't believe this.  Rita has linked my powers to a candle.  Zordon confirms it.  And if the flames burn out while in her possession, you will be stripped of those powers and they will belong to Rita forever.  Kimberly steps forward and asks Zordon if there is anything we can do?  Zordon tells them someone must journey into Rita's Dark Dimension and get the green candle before it burns out.  Tommy immediately asks, how do I get there?  Zordon replies, you don't.  Your presence will only accelerate Rita's spell.  Another Ranger must go in.  Jason immediately volunteers.  Tommy tells him to forget it.  Jason tells Tommy, it's makes sense.  I'm the only other Ranger that has ever been there.  Tommy replies that it's dangerous.  Billy reminds Tommy, that it's his only chance.  Tommy still refuses, there is no way I'm going to risk something happening to Jason because of me.  Jason tells Tommy, he is one of us.  You're a Power Ranger.  I'm not going to stand by and watch as we loss a teammate.  Trini adds that Jason speaks for all of us.  Tommy is overwhelmed by their concern and thanks Jason.  Alpha 5 exclaims, Zordon, I found it!  Tommy asks, found what?  Kimberly, Jason, Tommy, Trini, Billy, and Zack gather around Alpha 5.  Alpha 5 answers, the molecular energy patterns left by the Putties in the park   Zack has no idea what Alpha 5 is talking about.  Billy explains, Alpha's found the doorway to Rita's dark dimension.  After awhile, Billy announces that the Molecular Decoders are ready.  Alpha 5 hopes it works.  Jason is ready to teleport.  Trini, Billy, and Zack are all ready to go.  Kimberly feels bad about leaving Tommy behind.  Tommy tells her thanks, he doesn't know what else to say.  Kimberly reassures him that he doesn't have to say anything.  Just know that you mean a lot to us.  Jason grins as he overhears their conversation.  Kimberly joins the rest of the team and they teleport out.  Tommy sends good luck wishes out to his friends. Kimberly leads Billy, Jason, Zack, and Trini to the place where Tommy was captured.  Trini is eager to get to work and set up the Molecular Decoders.  Billy works on his as Trini and Zack work on the other Molecular Decoder.  After a few moments, Trini checks with Billy to make sure she has the Molecular Decoder set up properly.  Zack is working on the other Molecular Decoder.  Billy instructs Trini and Zack to line up the Molecular Decoders exactly.  Billy double checks the Molecular Decoders.  He thinks they are ready.  Zack suggests they fire them up.  Before they do, Kimberly asks her friends if they hear that really gross sound?  Billy, Jason, and Zack hear it as well and reply yeah.  Bulk and Skull appear at the top of the hill, out of breath and with lots of grunts.  Bulk tells them they are in our private park!  Skull backs him up.  Billy walks over to Skull and Bulk and tells them, actually this is a public park, anyone can visit.  Billy thinks he has the matter cleared up.  Skull replies, anyone but you Brainiac.  So get going!  Trini tells Skull and Bulk to leave them alone.  They have work to do.  Skull notices the Molecular Decoders and asks Bulk what are those?  Bulk doesn't know, but he is eager to find out.  Zack tells them they can look, but don't touch.  Bulk becomes angry - no one tells me what to do!  Bulk charges towards Zack.  Zack quickly steps out of the way.  Zack has moved in front of a trash can.  Bulk turns around and charges towards him once more.  Zack steps away and Bulk lands, head first, into the trash can.  The trash can tips over and rolls down the hill.  Skull quickly races down the hill to help his friends.  Trini, Kimberly, Zack, Billy, and Jason watch from the top of the hill.  The teens quickly get back to work and start turning on the Molecular Decoders.  The Molecular Decoders start to spark and Billy announces the first Molecular Decoder has been activated.  Within a few moments, Trini announces the second Molecular Decoder has been activated.  Zack notes the portal is open.  Jason contacts Zordon to let him know he is going in.  Zordon replies, good luck Jason and may the power protect you.  Jason tells his friends he is ready.  Close the portal, once I'm in.  Zack is worried about his friend and wishes him good luck.  Jason thanks him as he is going to need it.  Jason walks into the portal and vanishes.  Trini and Kimberly exchange worried glances.   After awhile,  Kimberly becomes very worried.  She tells her friends, he's been in there too long.  Zack, Billy, and Trini are worried as well.  More time passes, Trini is worried about Jase.  He should have been back by now.  Zack paces as Billy tells his friends I'm sure everything's fine.  Things just take time.  Zack's communicator goes off and he answers it.  Zordon tells them you must abort the mission.  Green Ranger is in serious trouble..  Billy asks about Jason.  He's not back yet.  Zordon replies, one of you will have to enter the portal and retrieve him.  Zack tells Zordon he will go.  Kimberly warns Zack to be careful.  Get Jason and yourself back safely.  Zack tells them he is ready.  Billy and Trini power up the Molecular Decoders.  When the portal opens, Zack walks through it.  In the Dark Dimension, Jason and Goldar are battling.  Zack walks through the portal.  Jason kicks Goldar to the side when Zack walks up to him.  Jason asks Zack what is he doing here?  After some anxious moments, Zack and Jason walk out of the portal and are back in the park.  Trini is very happy to see Jason is okay.  Kimberly runs over to them and notices there is no candle.  Kimberly asks where is the candle?  Jason replies, I didn't get it.  We will have to go back.  The five teens morph and teleport out to help Green Ranger.  Unfortunately, after the Rangers destroyed Cyclops, the green candle had burned out.  The only way to stop the transfer of power was for Green Ranger to give up his power coin.  Green Ranger gave his power coin to Red Ranger, stopping Rita Repulsa from gaining the Green Ranger's power.
