Billy continues working. After awhile, Billy's communicator goes off. Billy responds, this is Billy. Go ahead Zordon. Zordon tells Billy, as soon as you finish the antidote, hurry to the old junkyard behind Angel Grove park. Kimberly and Jason need your help. Billy replies, right, I read you Zordon. Billy goes back to working on the antidote. Within a few moments, Billy finishes the antidote and comments help is on the way Jason. Billy morphs and teleports out. At the junkyard, Fighting Flea knocks Pink Ranger and Red Ranger off their feet. Fighting Flea laughs until he is blasted. Blue Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Black Ranger run through the junkyard and towards Red Ranger and Pink Ranger. Red Ranger reassures his friends that he is okay. Yellow Ranger suggests to Black Ranger, let's keep this guy busy! Yellow Ranger and Black Ranger race over to Fighting Flea. Blue Ranger tells Red Ranger he's got the antidote. Red Ranger replies, great man. I was just about to go crazy. Blue Ranger sprays the antidote onto Red Ranger. Yellow Ranger and Black Ranger battle Fighting Flea. The two Rangers have a tough time against Fighting Flea. The antidote works and Red Ranger feels the affects immediately. Red Ranger thanks Blue Ranger. The three Rangers stand up, ready to tackle Fighting Flea. Fighting Flea knocks Yellow Ranger and Black Ranger to the ground. The two Rangers roll towards the rest of the Rangers. Red Ranger thanks them for covering for us. Fighting Flea taunts, Red Ranger, still itching for a bite! Blue Ranger steps forward and states, not anymore! My antidote neutralizes the effects of your evil bite. Fighting Flea gets mad and jumps up and down. That's not fair! You cheated! The Power Rangers are ready to fight Fighting Flea. Fighting Flea summons several Putties and has them attack the Rangers. Red Ranger battles a batch of Putties. Yellow Ranger battles another group of Putties. Blue Ranger battles another set of Putties. Pink Ranger is kept busy battling a group of Putties. Black Ranger is battling yet another group of Putties. Red Ranger uses his Power Sword to battle the Putties. Fighting Flea shoots several needles at Red Ranger. Red Ranger rolls out of the way. The rest of the Rangers join him as the Putties are destroyed. Fighting Flea faces them, stating, I've got you now! From his antennas, Fighting Flea blasts the Rangers. Red Ranger leaps out of the smoke with his Power Sword. He leaps into the air and strikes Fighting Flea as he comes down. Red Ranger fights Fighting Flea with his Power Sword and knocks Fighting Flea to the ground. Quickly, Fighting Flea grows to giant size. Fighting Flea laughs and asks, what do you think Rangers? The Rangers summon their zords. When the zords arrive, the Rangers leap inside them. Megazord is formed in tank mode. Fighting Flea uses his antennas to fire at Megazord. Megazord fires back with all canons. Megazord goes into battle mode. Fighting Flea and Megazord walk towards each other. Fighting Flea states, I've had enough of this. You're through Power Rangers! Fighting Flea and Megazord fight each other. Fighting Flea lands a kick on the Megazord. Megazord lands a punch on Fighting Flea. They grab a hold of each other and then Fighting Flea manages to break free. Fighting Flea charges towards Megazord. Megazord walks towards Fighting Flea. Once more they fight each other. Megazord lands several powerful blows to Fighting Flea. Eventually Fighting Flea is knocked to the ground. Fighting Flea leaps into the air, flies towards Megazord, and lands a strike against Megazord. Fighting Flea does this several times. Fighting Flea then blasts Megazord. Megazord is hit hard. Fighting Flea jumps and down and exclaims, I'm going to tear you Rangers apart! Fighting Flea charges towards the Megazord. Red Ranger summons the power sword. Red Ranger declares, you've had it flea head! Megazord strikes and destroys Fighting Flea with the power sword. After the battle, Billy and his friends return to the Youth Center. Billy, Kimberly, Trini, Jason, and Zack gather around the dog and pet it as Ernie looks on. A woman enters the Juice Bar and is very happy to see her dog Pierre. The woman calls out to Pierre, calling him a naughty little thing. Pierre goes running towards her and she scoops the dog up, telling him, mommy was so worried. Jason asks, this is your dog? The woman replies, yes. Which one of you wonderful children found my little angel? Billy, Zack, Trini, Jason, and Kimberly all exchange glances with each other and they all know what they want to do. Kimberly replies, the person you should thank is Ernie. The woman approaches Ernie and gives him a check. Ernie looks at the check and responds, holy cow! This is a lot of money! The woman replies, it's the least I can do. I don't know what I would do without Pierre. Well, I got to be going, thanks again. The woman walks out with Pierre. The teens shout out byes. Zack and Trini walk over to the going out of business sign as Zack tells Ernie, it looks like you won't be needing this anymore. Trini takes down the sign with help from Zack. Ernie tells them, I don't know what to say. I mean, this is incredible. Trini tells him, good things happen to good people. Jason adds, and you're the best. Ernie asks them, how about some sodas and pizzas? It's on the house. Billy, Jason, Zack, Trini, and Kimberly are all excited about the idea. Bulk and Skull enter, scratching and looking miserable. They head over to a table. Zack asks, what happen with those two? Jason replies, I give you two guesses. Billy asks, do you think I should give them the antidote? Jason answers, why not. Nobody should be that miserable. Not even those two clowns. Billy, Jason, Zack, Trini, and Kimberly walk over to Bulk and Skull's table. Jason gives Bulk a sympathetic pat on the shoulder as he passes. Bulk irritably asks, what do you geeks want? Skull repeats the question. Jason tells them to be nice or Billy won't give you your surprise. Bulk asks, what surprise? Skull repeats the question. Billy asks them if they want to stop itching? This catches Bulk and Skull's attention. Bulk asks, are you serious? Skull starts chewing on the skin of his hand. Bulk asks them, you guys can get rid of this? Billy gives a small nod as Jason tells them to hold still. Billy pulls out two dog collars. Jason takes one of them. Billy places a collar over Skull while Jason places one around Bulk's neck. Instantly the itch is gone. Bulk and Skull collapse onto the table in relief. Billy instructs them not to take them off for a week. Bulk and Skull lift their heads and shout, a week! Billy emphasizes, a week. Bulk and Skull are not happy, but have little choice.

Billy was sitting in class at Angel Grove High School with his friends. In the front of the classroom is a time capsule sitting on table. Miss Appleby opens the time capsule as she tells the class they are going to fill the time capsule with items that reflect today's world. A hundred years from now, it will showcase our lifestyle to future generations. I am anxious to see what each of you has brought in. Miss Appleby calls on Jason first. Jason has brought his first trophy that he had won in a karate match. Jason tells the class it shows what you can do when you believe in yourself and take good care of your body. Jason places the trophy into the time capsule as Miss Appleby tells him, that is a good message for the future. As Jason walks back to his seat, Miss Appleby calls on Kimberly. Kimberly walks up with a pile of pink clothes. Kimberly tells the class, these are to show what we were wearing, you know, that we had the freedom to make choices of our clothes and stuff. Miss Appleby adds, a sense of individual style. Kimberly agrees. She also thinks it might start a whole new fashion trend in the future. Kimberly places the clothes in the time capsule. Kimberly walks back to her desk. Trini raises her hand and asks Miss Appleby, if she is including anything in the time capsule? Miss Appleby smiles as she replies, as a matter of fact I am. On the table is a clipboard with a couple of papers, the top one is marked with an A, and a manila envelope. She pulls out a picture from the manila envelope. It is a picture of the Power Rangers. Miss Appleby tells the class, she is contributing this photograph of the Power Rangers. They've risk their lives for our planet so many times, I wanted to make sure the future remembers these remarkable heroes. Miss Appleby places the photograph into the time capsule. Next up is Zack. Zack tells the class, music effects everybody and contemporary music usually reflects what's happening in the world. So I brought in a slammin CD with some fat tunes. Zack puts the CD into a case and places it into the time capsule. Miss Appleby tells Zack, good idea. Billy is up next. He tells the class, I'm including this personal computer with the latest software to demonstrate how advance our technology was in this time period. Billy places the personal computer into the time capsule as Miss Appleby calls on Trini. Trini tells the class that she has brought in today's newspaper, so whoever opens the time capsule in the future, will read about the events of the day. Miss Appleby tells her, an excellent choice as Trini places the newspaper into the time capsule. Miss Appleby asks, who's next? Suddenly the door opens and Bulk shouts, we are! Skull repeats it. Bulk is carrying a large loaf of bread and Skull has a paper sack. Bulk tells the class, what we're going to bury in the time capsule is going to change the future forever. Bulk and Skull scare off two students from their desks and pull the desks to the front of the room, side by side. Miss Appleby is standing close by unsure of what is going on. Bulk tells her it's the almighty, hail to the big guy, stuff a gut, super sandwich. Otherwise known as the Bulkwich. As Bulk talks, Skull gets everything ready to make the sandwich. Bulk continues, and we're going to make it live, right here fresh, for your eyes. Bulk asks Skull if he is ready. Skull replies, ready Bulk. Very quickly, Bulk and Skull start making the sandwich. Miss Appleby backs away. The class chuckles as they watch. Skull gets crazy with the mayonnaise and accidentally sprays it on Bulk's face. The class makes ewww sounds and some of them laugh. Bulk tells Skull, it's suppose to go on the sandwich dimwit, not on me! Jason tells them, yeah, that's really going to change the future guys. The rest of the class laughs. After school, Miss Appleby let Jason and Zack carry the time capsule out of the classroom. Billy leads the way down the hallway of the school, carrying several shovels. Soon they were joined by Kimberly and Trini. Billy tells them that they got the highest grades in class, so they get to bury the time capsule. Zack is eager to bury the capsule - this thing is getting heavy. Billy, Jason, Trini, Zack, and Kimberly walk through the park. Zack tells his friends, he has always wanted to see this. Kimberly sees the sign for the time capsule and points it out to her friends. They walk over to the spot and Billy passes out the shovels. Billy, Jason, Zack, Trini, and Kimberly start digging when suddenly several Putties arrive. Zack asks, what do they want this time? Jason replies, same as usual, us. Unseen, Baboo and Squatt arrive behind a bush. Zack battles several Putties. Trini battles another group of Putties. Close to the sign, Billy battles more Putties. Jason battles another group of Putties. Kimberly battles yet another group of Putties. With the teens busy fighting the Putties, Baboo and Squatt get out of their hiding place and walk up to the time capsule. Baboo and Squatt pick up the time capsule and start to walk away. Trini is fighting several Putties. Kimberly is also fighting more Putties. Billy, Jason, Zack, Kimberly, and Trini gather together, the Putties are defeated and vanish. Zack wonders what that was all about? Kimberly points out Baboo and Squatt walking away with their time capsule. The teens chase after them. Squatt spots them and tells Baboo, they are in trouble now. Jason yells at them, don't even think about it! Baboo and Squatt drop the time capsule and vanish. Trini asks her friends, what could they want with our time capsule? Jason adds, the question is, what would Rita want with it? A few moments later, Jason's communicator goes off. Jason responds, we read you Zordon. Zordon tells them, Rangers, Rita's latest creation is terrorizing Angel Grove park. Jason replies, we're on it. Billy, Jason, Kimberly, Trini, and Zack morph and teleport to where Jellyfish is. Blue Ranger and the rest of the Rangers leap in and strike Jellyfish with their Blade Blasters. Jellyfish pushes them hard enough away, that they hit the ground and roll away. Blue Ranger and the rest of the Rangers gather together as Jellyfish approaches. Jellyfish taunts them, I was hoping I would catch you, little power fishes! Jellyfish laughs. Blue Ranger and the rest of the Rangers get back on their feet. They still have their Blade Blasters drawn. Black Ranger shouts back, you're the one who's gone slime! Jellyfish is still amused and responds, flattery will get you nowhere, little Mastodon. Black Ranger doesn't take well the comment, little. Jellyfish continues, now try this on for size! Red lasers shot out of Jellyfish's hand and hits the Rangers hard. Jellyfish fires at them several times, hitting them each time. The Rangers are knocked to the ground once more. Black Ranger comments, man that Jellyfish has a sting alright. Blue Ranger notes that somehow the blast penetrated their suits. Jellyfish walks towards the fallen Rangers. They quickly get back up. Red Ranger tells his team they have to back up and figure something out before it's too late. The Rangers quickly retreat. In the Command Center, Red Ranger asks, what's the story with this Jellyfish, Zordon? Black Ranger adds, whatever it was that he was shooting, nearly burn right through us! Zordon tells them the Jellyfish is equipped with a toxic spray that can eat even through your special suit Rangers. Pink Ranger asks, how do we fight him then? Zordon replies, Alpha has been working on a chemical coating that will shield your suits. Alpha 5 announces, I have it here. Alpha 5 sprays the Rangers with the chemical coating. When he is done, Alpha 5 comments, that should do the trick. Black Ranger is eager to take on Jellyfish. The alarms goes off. Alpha 5 announces there is an attack in Angel Grove park. Yellow Ranger turns around to look at the viewing globe and notes it's Jellyfish and several Super Putties. The rest of the Rangers turn around to see Jellyfish and the Super Putties in the viewing globe. Zordon tells them the Jellyfish must be stopped. With his toxic spray, he can destroy the Earth. May the power protect you. Black Ranger replies, we'll squish that fish! Yellow Ranger adds, we're on it Zordon! Red Rangers tells his team, let's do it Rangers! Blue Ranger, Red Ranger, Pink Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Black Ranger teleport out of the Command Center. Jellyfish is singing and dancing, along with the Super Putties, and having a great time when the Power Rangers arrive. Red Ranger shouts, you're through Jellyfish! Jellyfish responds, that's what you think! Get them Super Putties! The Super Putties charge towards the Rangers. The Rangers charge towards the Super Putties. Black Ranger battles several Super Putties. Yellow Ranger battles another group of Super Putties. Pink Ranger fights several Super Putties. Jellyfish shouts, fight you clay brains! The Super Putties are soon defeated. The Rangers gather together in front of Jellyfish. Jellyfish tells them, very impressive. Jellyfish then sprays his toxic spray at the Rangers. The Rangers leap out of the way. A park bench is hit instead and partially dissolves. Yellow Ranger points it out, look what it did to that bench! Pink Ranger states, we got to stop him. Pink Ranger leaps into the air with her Power Bow. Yellow Ranger leaps alongside her with her Power Daggers. They fire their weapons. Jellyfish pulls out an umbrella which deflects the weapons. Blue Ranger and Black Ranger leap towards Jellyfish. Jellyfish shoots his toxic spray and hits the two Rangers. Blue Ranger and Black Ranger fall to the ground. Red Ranger hurries over and tells them to stay back. Red Ranger charges towards Jellyfish with his Power Sword. Red Ranger tries to strike Jellyfish several times, but Jellyfish is too fast for him, and vanishes and reappears several times. Red Ranger can't land a strike against Jellyfish. Eventually Jellyfish knocks Red Ranger to the ground. The rest of the Rangers gather around him. Jellyfish twirls his umbrella. The Rangers are swirled around and land in a strange place. Red Ranger exclaims, where are we? Black Ranger adds, what going on? Red Ranger has his Power Sword drawn when Jellyfish approaches the Rangers. Jellyfish welcomes them to his humble home. Jellyfish then charges towards them, pointing his umbrella at them. The Rangers try to fight Jellyfish, but every blow they try, goes right through him. Jellyfish is able to strike them with ease. Jellyfish gloats, you can't touch me, but I can touch you! Jellyfish knocks Blue Ranger and Black Ranger to the side. Black Rangers notes, he wasn't kidding. What's up with that? Blue Ranger replies, he's time phased. Maybe a power burst from your Power Ax will knock us all out this dimension. Black Ranger fires his Power Ax. The plan works and the Rangers and Jellyfish are busted out of the dimension. Blue Ranger and the rest of the Rangers have their power weapons drawn as they face down Jellyfish. Black Ranger shouts, okay Jellyfish, now you are mine! Black Ranger leaps towards Jellyfish with his Power Ax. Black Ranger strikes Jellyfish with his Power Ax, knocking Jellyfish off his feet. Jellyfish taunts them, it will take more than that Power Weaklings! Black Ranger tells Red Ranger, we're going to need more power. Red Ranger tells his team, get set everybody. Jellyfish grows to giant size. He taunts the Rangers, I'm the big fish in this pond now Power Rangers. Red Ranger exclaims, not for long! The Rangers summon their zords and they quickly arrive. The Rangers immediately leap into their zords. Red Ranger instructs Blue Ranger and Yellow Ranger to fire. Yellow Ranger confirms, target locked. Triceratops and Sabretooth Tiger fire at Jellyfish. Jellyfish uses it's umbrella to deflect the shots. Black Ranger is outrage. It didn't even touch him. Black Ranger decides it's time for some frozen fish action. Mastodon fires at Jellyfish. Jellyfish complains about the cold and is soon knocked off his feet. Jellyfish gets back up on his feet. The Rangers quickly form the Megazord. Jellyfish taunts Megazord, come and get me, you big tin can! Megazord walks towards Jellyfish and they are soon battling. Megazord lands several punches, while Jellyfish lands several kicks. Jellyfish also head butts Megazord. Megazord lands a hard punch. Jellyfish quickly vanishes and reappears as Megazord tries to keep up. Jellyfish teases Megazord, looking for me? Megazord tries to land another punch, but walks right through Jellyfish instead. Jellyfish continues to tease, you don't scare me. Red Ranger summons the power sword. When it arrives, Megazord tries to strike Jellyfish with it. Instead Jellyfish catches the power sword. Megazord flings Jellyfish off it's power sword. Jellyfish lands hard on the ground. Jellyfish gets back up only to be destroyed by Megazord. After the battle, Billy and his friends head over to the Youth Center and sit at the counter. Ernie fixes a tray of drinks and popcorn for the teens and carries it over to them. He tells them, five cold sodas after a hard day's work. Zack thanks him as they all reach for their drinks and popcorn. Ernie walks away. Jason tells his friends, he's glad they finally got the time capsule buried. Kimberly comments that it was quite the workout. Bulk and Skull struggle to enter the Youth Center with their Bulkwich. It doesn't help that lots of teens want to leave at the same moment they are trying to enter. Kimberly suggests they catch a movie. Trini notices Bulk and Skull and points them out to her friends. Bulk announces, we did it. We finish the Bulkwich. Skull and Bulk hold the sandwich over their heads. Billy, Jason, Zack, Trini, and Kimberly walk away from the counter and stand by the steps. Bulk continues, the future is going to love this feast. Jason tells them, sorry guys. We already buried the capsule. Bulk is very disappointed and the sandwich drops on his head. It also spills on Skull, but he laughs it off. Kimberly laughs and comments, now that's what I call a Bulkwich. Skull tears a piece of the bread off and gives it to Bulk. Bulk fights Skull with the bread. Skull fights back. Bulk slips on the floor as Skull makes his way out the door. Everyone laughs. After a few moments, Jason gets serious. He hopes the people who open the time capsule in the future live in a peaceful and friendly world. Kimberly adds with no hatred. Billy comments, no prejudice. Trini adds, no crime. Zack ends with, and no wars. Kimberly asks her friends, do you think it will ever happen? Jason responds, if we all do our part, and try to get along with each other, yeah, I do. We just got to hope for the best. Zack makes a fist and sticks it out in front of his friends as he states, to the future. Billy, Jason, Trini, and Kimberly all places their hands on top of Zack's and give a small shake.

Zack and Kimberly join Billy and Jason at their table and pass out the drinks. They all have been watching Trini practice her kung-fu with Master Li. Jason comments we may all have to practice this praying mantis technique if we want to keep up with her. After her practice is done, Trini walks over to their table with a small cage. Trini places the cage on the table where Zack immediately freaks out over the bug. He places the cage on to Billy, asking Trini, how can you stand to be near this thing? Billy is impressed with the praying mantis. Billy passes the cage to Kimberly as Trini tells them she has to study it for her next kung-fu lesson. Kimberly jokes, whoa, double duty. Math and kung fu homework. Jason thinks its really cool, but why did you choose to learn this new kung-fu? Trini replies, I think the real reason I like it is that it emphasis fairness. Honor and playing fair and never cheating in a competition. That's a real challenge to live up to. Bulk and Skull enter the Youth Center with their cockroach kung-fu gear on. They immediately spot Billy, Trini, Zack, Kimberly, and Jason and walk over to their table. Bulk tells Trini, you're not the only bug fu expert in town anymore. My partner and I are the newest and master of the mystic cockroach kung-fu! They even have a jar full of cockroaches. Zack freaks out - not more bugs! Skull quickly dashes over to where Kimberly is sitting and does some "cockroach kung-fu" moves to impress her. Kimberly grins throughout the whole routine. Skull then wraps his arms around her and asks, do you want to date a cockroach kung-fu master babe? Kimberly is immediately repulsed and pushes him off, telling him, I don't date bugs! Trini tells Skull, there is no such thing as cockroach kung-fu. Bulk tells her, there is now. Skull agrees, and asks, do you want to see? Skull joins Bulk and they go through their cockroach kung-fu routine. After watching for a few seconds, Jason tells them, we would love to see more but we have to go to the library. The teens gather their school stuff and leave. Later, Zordon contacts Billy, Jason, Kimberly, and Zack and tells them Trini needs help with a monster. Blue Ranger, Pink Ranger, Black Ranger, and Red Ranger arrive and gather around the fallen Yellow Ranger. Red Ranger tells Yellow Ranger, don't worry, we're here. Red Ranger is ready to go after Mantis, but Yellow Ranger stops him. Yellow Ranger tells him, you have to be careful, it's kung-fu. Mantis leaps away, telling Yellow Ranger, you called your friends. It's not a fair fight. You have no honor. Mantis vanishes. Mantis' words hit Yellow Ranger hard. In the Command Center, Trini is troubled and paces back and forth. Kimberly tells Trini not to be so hard on herself. We're going to get the Mantis. Trini knows, but she wonders if it would have been more honorable to face him on her own. Zack quickly tells her it was a monster bug - no way. Zordon asks Alpha 5, what information do we have regarding Rita's Mantis? Alpha 5 replies, I'll punch it up on the viewing globe. Billy, Trini, Kimberly, Jason, and Zack turn around and face the viewing globe which shows images of Mantis. Alpha 5 informs them that Mantis is an expert on praying mantis kung-fu. Very dangerous. Billy concludes perhaps Mantis challenged Trini because she is the kung-fu expert. Kimberly adds, if the Mantis takes her out, he is going to have an easier time with us. Trini tells them she is going to put in some extra practice. Next time that Mantis shows up, I'll be ready. Jason adds, and we'll nail him. Later, Billy, Zack, Kimberly, and Jason return to the Youth Center and look around for Trini, but can't find her. Zack calls out to Ernie and asks, where's Trini? Ernie picks up a envelope and tells them, she got this note and left. Billy, Kimberly, Jason, and Zack hurry over to the counter. Kimberly picks up the note and reads it to the guys. Trini, meet me at the quarry for some special training. Master Li. The note seems suspicious to them. Jason tells them, we should check this out. The four teens hurry out of the Youth Center. Billy, Kimberly, Jason, and Zack run through the fields. Billy points out the old quarry to Jason, Kimberly, and Zack. They all start to run in the direction of the quarry. Suddenly Jason stops them Several Putties arrive and surround them. Billy, Zack, Kimberly, and Jason fight the Putties. Billy fights a batch of Putties. Kimberly battles another batch of Putties. Jason is kept busy fighting several Putties. Jason's communicator goes off. It is Zordon. Zordon tells them, Trini is in trouble and needs your help at the quarry. Kimberly shouts, we got to get to Trini! Zack adds, let's squash that bug! Billy, Jason, Zack, and Kimberly morph. Blue Ranger, Pink Ranger, Red Ranger, and Black Ranger arrive at the quarry and stand behind Yellow Ranger. Yellow Ranger has her Blade Blaster out. Yellow Ranger tells Mantis, now it's a fair fight. Mantis is very angry. Pink Ranger leaps into the air and fires her Power Bow at Mantis. Mantis strikes Pink Ranger and she falls to the ground. Blue Ranger, Red Ranger, and Black Ranger race over to Pink Ranger. Pink Ranger is okay. Blue Ranger, Black Ranger, and Red Ranger charge towards Mantis. Mantis fights the three Rangers. Mantis knocks Blue Ranger and Black Ranger to the ground. Red Ranger continues to fight Mantis, but he is soon knocked down as well. Mantis grows to giant size. The Rangers summon their zords. When the zords arrive, the Rangers quickly form the Megazord. Mantis and Megazord face each other. Neither one moves. Red Ranger asks Yellow Ranger, what's he doing? Yellow Ranger replies, he's conserving all his energy for a quick, single blow. Black Ranger shouts, let's do it! Yellow Ranger warns, watch his foot work. Red Ranger replies, we're ready for him. Slowly, Mantis moves forward. Megazord cautiously moves forward as well. Suddenly Mantis leaps into the air and strikes Megazord. Megazord and Mantis battle. Mantis lands a couple of kicks and a powerful strike against Megazord, knocking it backwards. Red Ranger summons the power sword. Mantis charges towards Megazord. Megazord and Mantis continue to fight. Mantis tries to strike Megazord and Megazord blocks it with it's power sword. Mantis is knocked down, but quickly gets back up. Megazord charges towards Mantis and strikes it several times with the power sword. Eventually Mantis is destroyed. After the battle, Billy and his friends return to the Command Center. Zordon tells them, good work Power Rangers. And Trini, you did the honorable thing. You tried to be fair. Trini thanks Zordon. Kimberly adds, it's not your fault Rita cheats. Billy tells her, at least all your practicing paid off. Jason reminds her, we're teammates. We'll always be there to watch your back. Trini knows and tells them they are the best. Zack adds besides we showed Rita we're not afraid of her big bug. Zack can't help but to give a small shudder. Everyone, including Alpha 5, laughs. Afterwards, Billy and his friends are back at the Youth Center. Billy, Zack, Kimberly, and Jason are watching the small TV set on the counter. The TV Announcer reports, the Power Rangers have once again, successfully defeated another attack on Angel Grove by Rita Repulsa and her seemingly endless hordes of monster thugs. Elsewhere in the Youth Center, Trini and Master Li are working on their kung-fu. This time, Trini easily performs the mantis kung-fu routine. Billy, Jason, Zack, and Kimberly leave the counter and gather by one of the poles to watch Trini. At the end of the routine, Master Li comments, excellent work Trini. Trini replies, thank you Master Li. Practice makes perfect. They bow to each other and then Trini joins her friends, who are very proud of her. Zack points out Bulk and Skull to his friends. Bulk and Skull are trying to drum up business for their cockroach kung-fu class. Skull holds up a glass jar filled with cockroaches and announces you can take home a sparring partner. But there are no takers. Bulk tells Skull they need a little publicity. Skull agrees. Bulk walks onto the floor mats and encourages everyone to gather round. Bulk states, see just how powerful cockroach kung-fu really is. Skull leaps over onto the mats and they go through their "routine". Bulk flips Skull onto the mats and then helps him back up. Bulk then announces they are going to show their top secret roach rendezvous. Bulk and Skull shout out, cockroach power and bang their heads. Disoriented, Skull walks back over to the banner. Bulk stumbles over to the crowd, then they both turn around and face each other. Skull gets nervous when Bulk charges towards him and moves out of the way. Bulk crashes into the banner and they both end up entangle in it. To make matters worse, the jar full of cockroaches falls and breaks. Cockroaches climb all over Bulk, freaking him and Skull out. Bulk frantically shouts, get them off me! Billy, Jason, Trini, Zack, and Kimberly laugh.

Angel Grove High School was hosting Parents Day at 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. Billy is puzzling over the empty room when the floor beneath his feet cracks open and gas is released. (The Dramole monster is underneath the Youth Center and had earlier teleported everyone inside the Youth Center into the dark dimension. Dramole's gas has the power to hypnotize people.) Billy thinks it's some kind of hoax. He starts to cough as the gas reaches his face. Soon, 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. 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!
