At the park, Billy, Zack, and Jason are tossing the football around when Kimberly and Trini join them. Kimberly suggests they have a little scrimmage. With a smile, Jason agrees. The teens have fun playing flag football. After awhile several Putties arrive. A Putty leaps in front of Billy and catches the football before Billy can. Jason tells his friends, let's tackle them! Jason and Zack charge towards the Putties. Two Putties grab a hold of Billy and push him away. Billy does several flips and catches the Putties by surprise by fighting them. Zack fights another batch of Putties. He kicks several to the ground. Jason fights several Putties as well as the football goes flying. Billy ends up catching the football and he takes off running as several Putties chase him. Trini is fighting a Putty and flips it onto the ground. Billy steps on the Putty as he runs pass. The Putties also step on the fallen Putty as they continue to chase Billy. Kimberly fights another group of Putties. Jason carries a Putty on his shoulders as he charges towards another group of Putties. Billy manages to outmaneuver everyone as he continues to run. The Putties suddenly vanish and the teens gather together. They are in high spirits. Suddenly Jason's communicator goes off. Zordon tells them to teleport to the Command Center immediately. Jason responds, we're on our way. Billy, Jason, Kimberly, Trini, and Zack teleport to the Command Center. When the teens arrive, Zordon tells them, as you can tell by her latest Putty attack, Rita has planned a football game of her own. The teens gathered towards the viewing globe. Zordon continues, and this is her quarterback. The viewing globe shows images of Rhinoblaster. He is quick on his feet and very cunning. You must be careful. Trini comments, that monster looks mean. Kimberly adds, and strong. Zack also adds, a cruel looking rhino. Zordon tells them they are all correct. The Rhinoblaster is vicious and very strong. Rita plans to pit her evil team against yours. The teens turn to face Zordon. Zordon continues, if they defeat you, her evil will be unleashed on Angel Grove. Alpha 5 becomes alarmed, but Billy is quite calm. I believe our team is stronger. Jason agrees. Come on, we have a score to settle! The teens morph and teleport out. The five Rangers face down Rhinoblaster. Rhinoblaster boosts, you power brats are no match for my team! Five Putties arrive, with football jerseys on. Rhinoblaster sends the Putties in. The five Rangers charge towards the Putties. The Putties manage to push the Rangers back. The Putties knock the Rangers off their feet. The Putties charge towards the Rangers. The Rangers get back up and flip out of the way. The Putties don't give up and go after the Rangers relentlessly. The Rangers are knocked to the ground once more. Rhinoblaster tells them, you've been sidelined! Hit the showers! Rhinoblaster blows a white mist towards the Rangers. The Rangers are hit and teleported away. The five Rangers land on a small rock and are unable to escape the vortex they are trapped within. They are stuck for quite some time. Eventually they can hear Green Ranger as he tosses the Dragon Dagger into the mist, shouting Jason! Catch! It takes awhile, but suddenly a vortex appears, and Megazord steps out of it. Megazord takes a giant leap and punches Rhinoblaster. Rhinoblaster falls to his knees. The Dragon Dagger returns to Green Ranger. Using the Dragon Dagger, Green Ranger gets Dragonzord back on it's feet. Rhinoblaster is in disbelief. What! No way! Dragonzord joins Megazord. Megazord gives a small nod of acknowledgement. Green Ranger thanks the rest of the team and notes Dragonzord is back and ready for action. Green Ranger begins playing the Dragon Dagger. The rest of the Rangers cheer on Green Ranger. Megadragonzord is formed. The Rangers fire their weapons and Rhinoblaster is destroyed. The following day, Mr. Caplan has the crowd settle down at the Youth Center. As he walks over to the cardboard cutout of the school's mascot, he doesn't notice he has dropped one of his papers on the floor. Mr. Caplan prepares to announce the football team as Ernie adjusts the lights. As Mr. Caplan calls their names, each member of the football jumps through the streamers, placed inside the cardboard mouth of their mascot. Jason! Billy! Zack! Bob! Matthew! Ryan! Michael! Thomas! And Paul! The crowd cheers as each name is announced. Mr. Caplan concludes, that's it ladies and gentlemen. Congratulations to our new team! Zack notices a piece of paper on the floor. He picks it up as he tells Mr. Caplan, it looks like you dropped something. Zack gives the paper to Mr. Caplan. Mr. Caplan apologies. I'm sorry. I seem to have made an error here. There are more names. Well, well, well, well. I'm pleasantly surprised. So, let's introduce....Bulk! There is smattering of claps. Bulk leaps through the streamers wearing his tutu. He does a spin and falls onto the floor. Skull helps him up as he tells Mr. Caplan, they are still working on the agility part. Mr. Caplan gives them a look and Bulk and Skull walk away. Mr. Caplan continues, last but not least, I would like to introduce to you our new star quarterback.....Tommy! Tommy leaps through the streamers with a big smile. Mr. Caplan asks for a round of applause for our new team. Everyone cheers. Tommy greets his friends with a big smile as they gather around him. Jason tells him, way to go bro! Zack adds, that's morphenomenal news. Kimberly adds her congratulations. Billy tells him, we're glad you're on our team. Tommy doesn't know what to say. I didn't think I could do it. Jason leans in. Hey, after you play football against Rita, you can play against any team. They all laugh.

Billy and his friends were at the Command Center. Kimberly and Tommy had just been attacked by Pink and Green Mutant Rangers. Zordon tells them that Goldar has distributed the Badges of Darkness to four Putties to become the Mutant Rangers. There is no evil Red Ranger at this time. Unable to do anything at this time, the teens return to their lives. To keep himself occupied, Billy had made a device that alerts Tommy to the next thing he has to do. Tommy likes the device and thanks Billy. The next day, Kimberly tries to help Tommy to remember by tying strings around his wrist - a trick from her grandmother. The device Billy made malfunctions. Billy takes a look at it, but doesn't understand what went wrong. Tommy remembers that he left home the notebook that Trini had organized for him. Tommy leaves and Kimberly concludes that Tommy was doing better before they started to help him. A few moments later, Billy, Zack, Kimberly, Trini, and Jason walk down the halls of the school. They don't like waiting around and their anxious to get started. Suddenly Jason's communicator goes off. They find a quiet spot and gather round. Zordon tells the teens that Rita Repulsa had selected Commander Crayfish to be the leader of her Mutant Rangers. Jason responds, we'll take care of it. Zordon continues, Commander Crayfish is at the Angel Grove shoreline. You must stop him before he heads inland. Kimberly asks about Tommy. Zordon tells them that Tommy is not answering his communicator. The teens morphed and teleport out. The five Rangers battle the Mutant Rangers and Commander Crayfish. After a few moments, Green Ranger arrives and joins in the battle. The Rangers have a difficult time against the Mutant Rangers and Commander Crayfish. They retreat back to Command Center. Zordon gives them weapons that looks like their old ones, but more powerful. The Rangers return to the battle and their new powerful weapons help. The Rangers form the Power Blaster and fire it. Pink and Yellow Mutant Rangers are destroyed. The remaining Mutant Rangers and Commander Crayfish grow to giant size. The Rangers summon their zords. Dragonzord arrives and Megazord is formed. Commander Crayfish battles Megazord while Blue, Black, and Green Mutant Rangers battle Dragonzord. Eventually Ultrazord is formed and the three Mutant Rangers and Commander Crayfish are destroyed. The following day, at school, Kimberly and Trini tell Tommy that it's okay to have faults. Billy, Zack, and Jason, joined them telling Tommy that your true friends will accept you as you are. They all watch Bulk & Skull stroll down the hall dressed in tuxes. Bulk & Skull present Miss Appleby with a gift. Miss Appleby insists that Bulk & Skull open the gift as she just had her nails done. Bulk and Skull have no choice but to open the gift and have silly string spray all over them.

Billy, Jason, and Trini are walking through Angel Grove park. Trini wonders how Zack's date is going. Jason is the first to spot the Putties heading their way. The three teens battle and defeat the Putties. Jason's communicator goes off. Jason responds, Zordon we read you. Zordon informs them that Rita has called for the Ecocide Pearl and started her Oysterizer monster on a path of destruction. Trini becomes alarmed. We got to stop her. Zordon tells them your greatest danger is Rita's magic pearls of stillness. Jason quickly asks didn't Zack buy a pair of pearls for Angela? Billy confirms it. He showed them to us after he bought them. Zordon continues, those pearls will render all life forms motionless. You must tell Zack and the others. Jason tells Zordon, we're on our way. Billy, Jason, and Trini teleported out of the park. Billy, Jason, and Trini just entered the restaurant when they notice Angela putting on the pearl earrings. They scream no as they race to stop her. But it is too late and everyone in the dining area of the restaurant become still as statues. After some time, and with Black Ranger defeating Oysterizer, the people in the restaurant return to normal. The waiter has had enough. No, pourquoi!? The waiter storms off. Billy, Jason, and Trini reach Kimberly and Angela's table. Trini lets Angela know that her earrings are disintegrating. Angela assumes it's another of Zack's pranks. Wait till I get my hands on Zack. Angela tosses the earrings into a glass of water as she gets up. Just as she gets to the exit, Zack races in. He immediately apologizes. Angela, look, I'm sorry. Angela has had enough. Zack, do me a favor and don't do me any more favors. Comprendez-vous? Angela walks out. Disappointed, Zack heads over to his friends. Guys, we got a big problem. Trini responds, we know, the Oysterizer. Kimberly asks, where's Tommy? Zack replies, he's okay. I left him at the beach. We have to go after the Oysterizer and the Ecocide Pearl underwater. Billy comments, this will definitely be a new experience for the Megazord. Jason is eager to go. Let's jam. Zack quickly places some bills on the table and the friends race out of the restaurant. In a quiet area, the teens morph. The Megazord is quickly formed and descends onto the ocean floor. Black Ranger is excited. Yeah, we made it! Red Ranger is ready. Let's do it. The Megazord starts searching. Soon Red Ranger spots the Ecocide Pearl. Oysterizer quickly arrives. Red Ranger tells the team, let's get rid of the pearl while we have a chance. Megazord fires a laser that destroys the pearl. Oysterizer is furious. No! You fools! You've destroyed my beautiful pearl! Oysterizer charges towards the Megazord and strikes it several times. You bunch of sea snails! Take this! Oysterizer strikes Megazord hard and Megazord falls to the ocean floor. Oysterizer threatens them. I'll turn you into flounder bait! Oysterizer charges towards the fallen Megazord. Oysterizer places it's foot on Megazord and presses down. Black Ranger notes, we can't take much more of this. We need help. Red Ranger agrees. Megazord wasn't meant to work underwater, but Dragonzord is. Red Ranger tells Pink Ranger to focus all our communication signals on a tight beam to the beach. Red Ranger tells Blue Ranger to send a distress signal now. Green Ranger is standing on the beach when he hears Blue Ranger's voice over his communicator. Tommy, do you read us? We need help. Green Ranger quickly summons Dragonzord with his Dragon Dagger. Dragonzord battles Oysterizer and eventually the battle moves onto the surface again. Oysterizer soon has Dragonzord wrapped in his chains and unable to break free as it is covered in acid gel. Oysterizer yanks on the chain, trying to drag Dragonzord. Suddenly the chain is broken. Oysterizer falls to the ground, but quickly gets back up. Megazord has arrived and stands protectively in front of Dragonzord. Pink Ranger points out that Dragonzord is covered in acid gel. Megazord uses it's laser to clear the acid gel off of Dragonzord. Dragonzord gets up and stands next to Megazord. Oysterizer is not happy. You two are becoming a real pain in the shell. Oysterizer charges towards them holding a spike in it's hands. Green Ranger shouts, let's do it buddy and begins playing his Dragon Dagger. Dragonzord fires it's missiles at Oysterizer. Oysterizer is hit several times and knocked to the ground. Oysterizer gets back up. Red Ranger shouts, all right, Rangers, let's finish this! Megazord destroys Oysterizer with it's power sword. The following day, Angela is working out at the Youth Center. Billy, Jason, Kimberly, and Tommy are sitting at a table. With careful glances around, Jason tells his friends that he's glad the Oysterizer didn't have much time to do some real damage. Billy agrees and admits he's relieved. Kimberly leads a toast to teamwork. Zack walks towards Angela singing. Bulk and Skull follow behind, playing their instruments. Which draws everyone's attention at the Youth Center. Zack kneels down and continues to sing his song to Angela, who is moved by the lyrics. After a few moments, Skull breaks into song. Everyone winces or covers their ears. Angela laughs. Zack apologizes. Angela apologizes as well. I guess I shouldn't be so materialistic about things. Zack tells her happy birthday, as he gives her the flowers. Angela and Zack kiss. This time Bulk breaks into song with Skull quickly joins in. Billy and his friends laugh, along with the rest of the customers.
