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. Black Ranger, Red Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Pink Ranger arrive in the dark dimension, just as Billy is walking towards Goldar with the Dragon Dagger. Red Ranger shouts out, Billy, don't do it! Goldar boasts, it's no use, he's under my control. Yellow Ranger shouts out encouragement, fight it Billy! Don't let Rita win! Goldar calls them fools and summons several Putties. Goldar knocks Billy down to the floor and laughs. Red Ranger fights a group of Putties. Billy watches the fighting all around him. Black Ranger fights another group of Putties. Yellow Ranger fights a batch of Putties. Pink Ranger fights several Putties as well. Goldar joins in the battle and fights Black Ranger. Goldar knocks Black Ranger to the side. Red Ranger battles Goldar, but is soon knocked aside as well. Yellow Ranger battles Goldar. Billy watches the four Rangers fight Goldar. Red Ranger fights Goldar again and is knocked aside again. Pink Ranger fights Goldar but is soon flipped onto the floor. Goldar leaps out of the battle and lands next to Billy. Goldar takes the Dragon Dagger from Billy. Red Ranger shouts no! Pink Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Black Ranger hurry over to Red Ranger. The Putties circle them. Suddenly the Putties vanish. The spell is broken and Billy is puzzled, what's happening? Goldar calls Billy a fool and tells him, he has just given the Dragon Dagger to me! Billy is horrified and cries out oh no! What have I done?! Red Ranger tells him, it's not your fault Billy. You were under a spell. Goldar tells them they have all fallen into his trap. Now I have control over the Dragonzord, you have no choice but to surrender your power coins in exchange for your parents. Black Ranger tells Goldar, he's crazy. Why should we do what you say?! Goldar replies, because you really have no other alternative. An hour glass appears in Goldar's hand. Goldar tells them, this will remind you of the time you have slipping away. Once the sand is through the glass, you must make a decision. Your power coins or your parents. Goldar laughs and vanishes. Yellow Ranger asks, what do we do? Red Ranger replies, figure out a way to keep our coins and save our parents. Black Ranger asks about Billy. Pink Ranger notes the spell has worn off and we really need him. Red Ranger agrees. Red Ranger tells Billy, come on, let's go! It's Morphin' time! Billy morphs and the Rangers teleport out of the dark dimension. The Rangers arrive in Angel Grove just as Goldar summons Dragonzord with the Dragon Dagger. Dragonzord comes up from beneath the sea and immediately begins attacking Angel Grove. The Rangers quickly summon their zords and form the Megazord, first in tank mode and then in battle mode. Megazord and Dragonzord battle. Red Ranger comments, we need more power. The battle continues until Megazord crashes into a building. The Rangers eject from Megazord. The Rangers face Goldar. Goldar makes the hourglass appear in the sky and announces your time is up Power Rangers. Turn over the power coins or lose your parents forever! The Rangers don't know what to do. Black Ranger suggests they contact Zordon. Red Ranger agrees and contacts Zordon. Red Ranger asks, what do we do? Zordon replies, I cannot tell you what to do Rangers. This decision affects your parents. You alone must make the choice. The Dragon Dagger turns into a box. Goldar asks them if they are ready to make the ultimate sacrifice? Red Ranger tells his teammates, they got to do this. They all agree. Red Ranger walks up to Goldar and states, our power coins for our parents. Red Ranger places his power coin into the box and then demorphs as he loses his power. Goldar gloats, goodbye Red Ranger. Pink Ranger walks towards Goldar. Pink Ranger warns, if you harm my parents in any way. Goldar responds, silence! Give me the coin! Pink Ranger places her power coin into the box and demorphs. Goldar states, no more Pink Ranger to get in my way. Black Ranger is the next to walk towards Goldar. Black Ranger threatens Goldar, you're going to pay for this! Goldar merely laughs. Black Ranger places his power coin into the box and demorphs. Goldar calls Zack a fool. Yellow Ranger is next. She tells her friends, it's been great being Rangers, but our parents are more important. We're doing the right thing. Yellow Ranger places her power coin into the box and demorphs. Trini, Zack, Kimberly, and Jason are very upset. Goldar gloats, one more and the Power Rangers will be history! Blue Ranger walks up and apologizes. I'm sorry guys. If it wasn't for me...Blue Ranger gives up his power coin and demorphs. Billy is upset as well. Jason tells Goldar, so now that you have what you want, our power coins, give us back our parents! Goldar enjoys the moment. You fools! You really think I'll return them back to you! What for?! I intend to destroy the world! And now nothing can stop me! Goldar laughs as he shuts the box. Billy, Jason, Kimberly, Zack, and Trini are very upset. Zack screams out, you won't get away with this! Goldar merely laughs and then vanishes. The five teens are in shock. Billy and his friends are teleported to the Command Center. The viewing globe shows images of various people from the Youth Center, walking aimlessly around in the dark dimension. Kimberly comments, they all look so strange. Trini reassures her. At least Zordon was able to locate them and we can see that they are unharmed. Zack is still upset. I can't believe we trusted Goldar! He tricked us. Billy asks, what else could we have done? Zordon tells them they made the right choice. You should be proud of yourself. Alpha 5 agrees. It was such a hard decision. Kimberly is concern. So what do we do now? Goldar has all the power coins. Jason pulls out the dragon coin and comments, not all the coins. We still have one.

Zordon tells the teens, that coin may help you defeat Rita. Kimberly doesn't understand. What good will be Tommy's power coin do if he doesn't have his powers anymore? Alpha 5 points to the viewing globe and announces, we've located your parents. The teens gathered around the viewing globe and watched the images of their parents and teachers wandering around aimlessly. Jason tells his friends, we have to try. Trini agrees, we can't give up now. Zack just hopes they are alright. Zordon reassures them that their parents are safe for the time being. Billy asks, what can we do? Zordon replies, first we need Tommy. Zordon instructs Alpha 5 to locate and teleport Tommy to the Command Center immediately. Tommy is teleported into the Command Center and is surprised and happy to see his friends. Jason walks up to him and tells him welcome back old friend. Jason gives the power coin to Tommy. Tommy looks at his friends puzzled. Tommy's friends explained what was going on. Tommy tells them, I'll do anything I can to help, but how? How can I without my powers? Zordon states, I believe the only way possible is to infuse Tommy with an enormous amount of my own energy. Billy becomes alarmed. That could be extremely dangerous for both you and Tommy! Jason agrees. What happens if these temporary powers give out during a fight? Kimberly feels they can't ask Tommy to take that risk. But it is a risk Tommy is willing to take. When do we begin? The energy transfer from Zordon to Tommy begins. Billy, Zack, Trini, Jason, Kimberly, and Alpha 5 watched the process anxiously. Billy warns Zordon to be careful. If you drain too much of your energy, you will cease to exist. Alpha 5 agrees. Zordon replies, Rangers it's our only chance. You worry too much. After awhile, it begins to work. Tommy morphs into Green Ranger. Green Ranger is teleported out and is soon battling Goldar and several Putties. Zack, Trini, Jason, and Kimberly are watching the battle on the viewing globe. Billy and Alpha 5 are at the control panels. Alpha 5 is worried. Zordon's energy level has dropped dangerously low. Zordon tells them, just a little more. Billy is worried too. This can't go on much longer. Kimberly points at the viewing globe and tells her friends to look. The viewing globe shows Green Ranger having a difficult time against the Putties. Kimberly states, there's way too many of them. Jason is confident that Tommy can do this. Jason tells Alpha 5 to turn up the power. Alpha 5 reluctantly turns up the power. It works and Green Ranger is filled with renewed strength. Green Ranger battles the Putties with ease. Zack happily tells Zordon, he's back in! Trini adds, you did it! But after awhile, Green Ranger begins to lose his strength. The teens are watching the battle on the viewing globe. Jason tells Zordon, he's too weak. He'll never make it. Zordon instructs Alpha 5 to bring Tommy back. Alpha 5 informs Zordon that he is fading. Alpha 5 panics. Billy, Zack, Trini, Jason, and Kimberly hurry over. Kimberly becomes alarmed when she notes they have lost Zordon. Billy asks Alpha 5 if he can still bring Tommy back? Alpha 5 replies, I'll do my best. Green Ranger is teleported to the Command Center and collapses onto the floor. Billy, Zack, Trini, Jason, Kimberly, and Alpha 5 hurried over. Jason notes, he's doesn't look good. But he did it. He brought back our power coins. Trini is worried, look at him now. Green Ranger demorphs. Kimberly asks Alpha 5 if Tommy is going to be alright? Alpha 5 replies, his readings are very low. Tommy is placed onto a cot and Kimberly watches over him for a few moments and then joins her friends. Jason asks, how's he doing? Kimberly replies, well he's resting comfortably and seems to be breathing okay. Trini points out, that's a good sign. Zack can't believe they lost Zordon as well as their parents. Billy responds, don't say that Zack. Billy then asks Alpha 5, there has to be something we can do? Alpha 5 has been thinking about that. He's come to the conclusion that what worked for Tommy, might just work for Zordon. Zack is confused. Billy tells his friends, Alpha 5 is right. If Zordon used his energy to infuse Tommy, why can't we use ours, meaning our power coins, to infuse him? Trini quickly picks up on the idea. So if we held them together and concentrate our energy to Zordon. Kimberly concludes, we can bring him back. Zack thinks it might work. We got to try. The teens form a semi circle and hold out their power coins into the center. They call on the power of all those combined. Billy, Zack, Trini, Jason, and Kimberly direct the energy towards Zordon's tube. After a few moments, it works and Zordon is back. Everyone is thrilled. Zordon thanks them. Alpha 5 is overcome with emotion. Billy just wishes they could bring back their parents just as easily. Jason vows we will think of something. After a few moments, the alarm goes off in the Command Center. Zordon informs the teens that the Dramole monster has come up from beneath the surface. Jason states, we got to stop him. Zordon continues, once this monster has been destroyed, your parents will be free. Kimberly tells her friends, let's go get that disgusting rat. Zordon warns the teens, Dramole is very dangerous. Avoid the mind controlling gas that emits from his nostrils. Billy tells his friends, Zordon is right. Remember what happened to me. Trini asks Alpha 5 if Tommy will be alright? Alpha 5 replies, I will watch over him. Zack is anxious to go. What are we waiting for?! Let's go get our parents! Billy, Zack, Trini, Jason, and Kimberly morph and teleport out. Red Ranger leads his team as he tells them, we know he's around here somewhere. Dramole breaks through the surface behind them. Pink Ranger finds his appearance gross. Dramole immediately releases it's gas. It washes over the Rangers. Pink Ranger warns the rest of the Rangers, don't breathe it. The skies suddenly darken. Dramole fires energy bolts at the Rangers. It hits Blue Ranger, Black Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Red Ranger. The four Rangers clutch their helmets as Pink Ranger asks them, what's happening to you? What's the matter? Yellow Ranger gives the command to attack the Pink Ranger. Blue Ranger, Black Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Red Ranger go after Pink Ranger. Pink Ranger tries to outmaneuver them, but she is soon caught. Blue Ranger and Black Ranger hold her arms as Pink Ranger yells at them to let go of her. Yellow Ranger and Red Ranger stand guard as Dramole steps forward. Green Ranger arrives and fires at Dramole. Dramole is knocked to the ground. The skies clear and the spell is broken for the four Rangers. Dramole gets back up on it's feet. Red Ranger asks, what just happened? Yellow Ranger is confused too, what's going on? Green Rangers runs up to the rest of the Rangers and they are very happy to see him. Pink Ranger tells Green Ranger, I'm so glad to see you. Green Ranger replies, it's good to be back. The six Rangers face Dramole. Dramole grows to giant size. The Rangers leap out of the way as Dramole tries to step on them. Green Ranger uses his Dragon Dagger to summon Dragonzord. Blue Ranger summons Triceratops as the rest of the Rangers summon their zords as well. Blue Ranger, Red Ranger, Pink Ranger, Black Ranger, and Yellow Ranger leap into their zords. Megazord is quickly formed. Megazord and Dragonzord face down Dramole. Dramole releases it's gases, which causes the skies to darken again. Dramole charges towards Megazord and Dragonzord. Dragonzord and Megazord fight Dramole. Dramole lands a kick on Megazord. Dragonzord tries to strike Dramole with it's tail, but misses. During the battle, Red Ranger notes Dramole is getting ready to fire and orders full power to the shields. Dramole fires at Dragonzord and Megazord, hitting them both hard. Megazord and Dragonzord fall to the ground. Pink Ranger informs Green Ranger that they are down. They need time to reboot. Green Ranger plays the Dragon Dagger and soon Dragonzord is back on it's feet. Dragonzord charges towards Dramole. Dragonzord swings it's tail around and hits Dramole hard. Dragonzord continues to use it's tail against Dramole. Dramole lands a couple of strikes against Dragonzord. Dragonzord knocks Dramole to the ground. Megazord is back and stands next to Dragonzord. Megadragonzord is formed. Titanus arrives and Ultrazord is quickly formed. Red Ranger exclaims, you're through mole face! Ultrazord fires all it's weapons and destroys Dramole. With the destruction of Dramole, the skies clear once more. The teens return to the Command Center where they find out their parents have been returned to the Youth Center with no memories of what had happened. Tommy is also back as the Green Ranger, although this time with limited powers. Billy and his friends return to the Youth Center. After awhile, a food fight breaks out. Billy, Zack, Trini, Jason, Kimberly, and Tommy soon run out into the locker room for cover. They can't believe their parents. Zack comments, well you're only as old as you feel.

Miss Appleby is passing back tests to her students. Bulk tosses his test away. Skull takes his and crumbles it up and tosses it on the floor. Miss Appleby apologies to Billy as she gives him back his test. Billy doesn't believe it, he got a B. The bell rings and students gather their stuff and head out. Miss Appleby reminds them, only those with top grades will be invited to join the Young Scientists of America club. Tomorrow is the final test. So study! Jason is almost out the door when Zack stops him. Zack points out Billy and they both wait at the door as Billy slowly walks up to them. Trini and Kimberly join Zack and Jason before Billy reaches them. It's obvious that Billy is very upset. He tells them, he is most perplex. I've never receive a B before. Zack tells Billy not to sweat it. A B is not so bad. Kimberly adds, yeah, if they were, I'll be in big trouble. I get them all the time. Billy responds, perhaps Kimberly, but I never do and I've been working so hard at this. Trini tells him, you did your best. That's all any of us can do. Skull and Bulk walk up and stand on either side of Billy. Bulk tells him, too bad about the B geek. B stands for Bad. Didn't you know that? Skull adds, it's also stands for Bulk. Jason tells Bulk to back off. Bulk and Skull head towards the door. Kimberly tells them to leave Billy alone. Bulk glances back at Billy with a gleam in his eyes. See ya! Wouldn't want to B ya! Skull and Bulk laugh and head out of the classroom. Kimberly glares while Trini looks concern. Billy is very stressed over the taunts and test result.
