Jason and Goldar fight. Despite his best efforts, Jason cannot defeat Goldar and grab the candle. After awhile, Zack enters the dark dimension. Jason is surprised to see him and urges him to leave. Zack tells Jason that Tommy is in trouble, battling Cyclops. Jason reminds Zack that if he doesn't get the candle, Tommy will lose his powers. Zack points out that if they don't leave now, Tommy could lose his life. Jason reluctantly leaves with Zack. When they reenter the park, Kimberly asks where is the candle. Jason admits he didn't get it and hopes to return and get it. Jason and his friends morph. The Ultrazord is formed and the Rangers battle giant Cyclops and eventually destroy him. Unfortunately, during the battle, the green candle burnt out. Red Ranger and the rest of the Rangers teleported to the Command Center. Green Ranger gave Red Ranger his power coin, to prevent Rita from obtaining them. Green Ranger soon demorph. Tommy no longer had any of his powers. Pink Ranger told Tommy that he would always be one of them.

Zack had been training a student, Cameron in his karate class. The weekend arrived, along with the Junior Martial Arts competition, being held at the Youth Center. Jason walks in and scans the crowds for his friends. He spots them and is about to walk over when his communicator goes off. Jason finds a quiet place and contacts Zordon. Zordon tells him Rita has sent a monster to Earth. Teleport to the Command Center right away! Jason tells him he will get the other Rangers. Jason walks over to his friends. He points to his communicator and whispers that there is trouble. We got to go. Zack becomes upset, why now? Jason, Trini, Billy, and Kimberly all feel bad for Zack and Cameron. Zack reluctantly walks over to Cameron and tells him he has to go. It is clear, Cameron is upset. Jason and his friends leave the Youth Center. Jason and his friends teleport to the Command Center. Jason asks Zordon what's happening? Zordon informs them that Rita has buried a bird like monster named the Hatchasaurus in the ground near the power plant. Zordon instructs them to observe the viewing globe. It shows a very ugly monster. Zordon tells them not to be fooled by it's appearance. It is controlled by an ultra intelligent internal computer called Cardiatron. Your mission is to get inside the Hatchasaurus and disconnect the Cardiatron. Kimberly and Trini are not looking forward to that. Zack asks how? Zordon tells them to have confidence in your skills. I know you will find a way and wishes them good luck. The teens morph and teleport out. The Rangers arrive and the zords are summon immediately. The Rangers leaped into their zords as giant Hatchasaurus appears. Red Ranger thinks they could use some help. Pink Ranger agrees. Red Ranger uses the Dragon Dagger to summon Dragonzord. Dragonzord arrives and immediately begins battling Hatchasaurus. It's an intense battle. Hatchasaurus makes a couple of strikes, but so does Dragonzord. Eventually Dragonzord grabs a hold of Hatchasaurus. Red Ranger announces that Dragonzord has got him, let's finish him guys! The rest of the Rangers are ready. Pterodactyl, Triceratops, Mastodon, and Sabretooth Tiger all fire at Hatchasaurus. Hatchasaurus is hit several times, goes flying through the air and lands on the ground. Hatchasaurus gets back up and Tyrannosaurus fires at it. Hatchasaurus is hit and blows up. The next day, Jason, Kimberly, Trini, Zack, and Billy are teleported to the Command Center. Zack asks what's wrong? Zordon informs them that the Hatchasaurus has not been defeated. Kimberly can't believe it. We totally shredded that thing! Zordon reminds them that they still have to destroy Cardiatron, it's computer. Zordon instructs them to observe the viewing globe. The viewing globe shows images of Hatchasaurus pieces reforming. Trini can't believe what she is seeing, this is impossible. Jason thinks they will need the Megadragonzord to take this monster down. Jason, Kimberly, Billy, Zack, and Trini are worried. The teens continue to gaze at the viewing globe until Zordon reminds them there is only one way to defeat the Hatchasaurus. Billy adds we must disconnect the Cardiatron. Jason, Kimberly, Trini, Billy, and Zack morph and teleport out. Hatchasaurus begins attacking the city. The Power Rangers arrive in their Megazord. Red Ranger tells Hatchasaurus, you want a fight, you got it! Megazord and Hatchasaurus battle. Megazord lands several punches. Hatchasaurus strikes the Megazord hard enough to make it go back several steps. Hatchasaurus charges at Megazord and rams it. Megazord continues to fight Hatchasaurus. Hatchasaurus grabbed Megazord and uses it's chest to shoot Megazord with electrical currents. When Hatchasaurus released Megazord, it fell to the ground. Red Ranger warned the rest of the Rangers to brace themselves, it's headed straight for them. Hatchasaurus leaped on top of the fallen Megazord. Hatchasaurus struck the Megazord several times. Red Ranger pulled out the Dragon Dagger to summon Dragonzord for help. After a few moments, Red Ranger knew sometime was wrong, when Dragonzord did not appear. He continued to play the Dragon Dagger, but no Dragonzord. Blue Ranger informed them that something was interfering with his mega receptors. Hatchasaurus continued to strike the Megazord. Red Ranger decides it's time for the power sword. It arrives, knocking Hatchasaurus off the Megazord. Megazord gets up and grabs the power sword. Hatchasaurus charges at it once more. Megazord and Hatchasaurus battle. Hatchasaurus picks up Megazord, spins around, and then throws it aside. Blue Ranger informs them that their power is down by fifty percent. Megazord gets back up. Red Ranger tells the rest of the Rangers, it's time we finish this dude. The Megazord uses it's power sword against Hatchasaurus as it charges towards them. Hatchasaurus is defeated. Thanks to Cardiatron, Hatchasaurus is put together again, this time with the addition of horns. Dragonzord has arrived, but he is unable to help the Rangers. Red Ranger notes to the rest of the Rangers, it looks like we have to finish him again. The Megazord raises it's power sword and battles Hatchasaurus as Dragonzord helplessly watches. At one point, Hatchasaurus grabs a hold of the power sword. Red Ranger notes there is something wrong and has Blue Ranger check it out. Blue Ranger soon discovers there's an outside energy source working against the zord. Red Ranger realizes Dragonzord is locked in Rita's spell and they are on their own. Megazord manages to break the power sword free from Hatchasaurus and the battle continues. Red Ranger tells the rest of the Rangers, they got to disconnect that computer. Red Ranger leaves the cockpit and leaps inside of Hatchasaurus. Cardiatron immediately spots Red Ranger and comments, a visitor, how nice. Pity I must destroy you. Red Ranger is determined to destroy Cardiatron and takes out his Power Sword. Red Ranger charges towards Cardiatron. Cardiatron soon has Red Ranger encased in it's tentacles. While in his grip, Cardiatron sends several electrical currents through Red Ranger. Several explosions emerge from Megazord. The rest of the Rangers are still battling Hatchasaurus with the Megazord. Black Ranger shouts out, Jase, the Dragon flute! Red Ranger begins to play the Dragon Dagger while still inside Hatchasaurus. Dragonzord continues to lay on the ground. When Red Ranger yells out, Dragonzord power! This is enough to break the spell Dragonzord is under. Dragonzord quickly gets back up and is able to move freely. Megazord grabs a hold of Hatchasaurus. Dragonzord walks over and uses it's tail to strike Hatchasaurus. This knocks Red Ranger and Cardiatron out. Cardiatron tells Red Ranger, he cannot defeat him. Red Ranger leaps over to him with the Dragon Dagger and Power Sword drawn. One of Cardiatron's tentacles grabs Red Ranger. While in his grasp, Cardiatron fires at Red Ranger. Red Ranger is knocked down. Red Ranger gets back up. Red Ranger runs towards Cardiatron with both weapons drawn. Red Ranger strikes Cardiatron with the Power Sword and then the Dragon Dagger. Cardiatron is destroyed. Red Ranger is ready to destroy Hatchasaurus. Red Ranger summons Titanus and Ultrazord is formed. Hatchasaurus charges towards Ultrazord. Ultrazord fires all weapons and Hatchasaurus is destroyed. After the battle, Jason and his friends return to the Youth Center. Zack checks the chart for the competition. Zack is very excited as he walks over to his friends. He tells Jason, Kimberly, Trini, and Billy that Cameron made it to the highest martial arts level. Jason, Kimberly, Trini, and Billy are very happy for Cameron. Zack is concern that Cameron might be mad at him for leaving him yesterday. Kimberly is confident everything will be okay. Trini notices Cameron has entered and points him out to Zack. Zack walks over to Cameron. Kimberly is right, after an apology from Zack, Cameron is happy to have Zack back in his corner. Zack joins his friends. The match between Cameron and Biff begins. Initially Biff does very well against Cameron. Biff knocks Cameron to the mat several times. Zack steps forward and whispers to Cameron to use the new leg move. Cameron does so, knocking Biff down. With more confidence, Cameron starts knocking Biff to the mat. Soon the match ends and the judges call is Cameron is the winner. The crowd applauds. Jason, Kimberly, Zack, Trini, and Billy cheer. Jason, Kimberly, Zack, Trini, and Billy walk over to Cameron to congratulate him. Cameron asks Zack if he made him proud? Zack replies, absolutely. Proud because you believed in yourself. Jason and his friends grin, all in high spirits.

Miss Appleby calls her class to attention. Bulk and Skull entered the classroom. Skull is filming Bulk as he walks in. They are making a video called Bulk - The World's Greatest Guy. Skull walks backwards as he films and accidentally bumps into Miss Appleby. Skull turns around and films Miss Appleby, telling them to take their seats now. Jason, Kimberly, and Billy are not amused by Bulk and Skull's antics. Skull continues to film Bulk as he walks towards his chair. Bulk tells the camera, that's Miss Appleby, who can't wait for me to sit down. Bulk sits at his desk. Skull directs him to move to the left, my left, and numerous other directions until Bulk gets confused and falls to the floor. The classroom laughs. Skull helps Bulk back up and promises he will edit it out later. Skull takes his seat. Miss Appleby tells the class it's time for their first video project. Trini is called up to present her video. Trini tells the class that her video project is called - Pollution Problems in Angel Grove. The video has Trini narrating as footage of pollution is shown. The video states although progress has been made, there is still the problem of trash, dirty air, and polluted water. Trini warns it's important not to destroy nature's delicate balance for the sake of the animals and our very world. If the animals disappear, ultimately, so will we. The time to act is now. The video ends. The class and Miss Appleby are very impressed. Miss Appleby tells Trini she did a very nice job. She tells the class that pollution is a serious concern to our society. Billy agrees. Kimberly asks what can they do to help? Trini plans to start a clean-up club. One day a week we can do some recycling, clean up some trails, help animals who are endangered. Jason tells her to count him in. Zack adds, sounds cool. After school, Jason and his friends go to the Youth Center. The Youth Center is having a recycling drive. Jason and Zack are having fun crushing cans by using various martial arts methods. Trini checks on each of her friends. After checking on Jason and Zack, Trini walks over to Billy. Billy has created an organic paint for labeling the recycling bins. Trini is impressed. Kimberly directs Ernie on the placement of trash bins. Jason, Billy, Trini, and Zack join Kimberly. Ernie thanks them for helping him out with the recycling stuff. Trini replies, that's what the clean-up club is for. Trini suggests they go to the field near the park to pick up trash. Jason, Kimberly, Trini, Zack, and Billy leave as Bulk and Skull enter. Jason, Kimberly, Trini, Billy, and Zack arrived at the field by the park. They are surprised by all the trash that they see. Jason comments, this is really sad. Trini adds, look at this mess. Kimberly can't believe people would ruin such a beautiful place. Billy decides to take a soil sample. The result - completely polluted. Zack adds that it stinks. Trini passes out the trash bag and the teens get to work cleaning up the place. They add a some fun to the task by adding flips and dance moves as they work on picking up the trash. Soon several trash bags are filled. When they are done, Billy does another soil test. The result - clear. Jason, Kimberly, Billy, Trini, and Zack are proud of the work they have accomplished. Trini suggests they do another section and then head down to the recycling center. Jason, Kimberly, Billy, and Zack, follow Trini to the next section. Jason, Kimberly, Billy, Trini, and Zack are picking up more trash. Trini wonders what kind of people just dump their trash like this? Billy notices the Putties and shouts out pollutants like that! Jason and his friends are soon surround by the Putties. Jason, Kimberly, Billy, Trini, and Zack battle the Putties. Eventually Jason and his friends defeated the Putties. But there is more trouble. Polluticorn flies towards them. Jason, Kimberly, Billy, Trini, and Zack morph. Polluticorn flies through the Rangers, knocking them aside. Red Ranger and Black Ranger leap into the air. Polluticorn fires at them, using it's horn. Red Ranger and Black Ranger are hit and fall to the ground. Polluticorn flaps his wings, creating strong winds. Red Ranger and Black Ranger get up, but are pushed back by the strong winds. The two Rangers are hit once more and land in a heap. Pink Ranger, Blue Ranger, and Yellow Ranger race over to make sure they are okay. Yellow Ranger warns them they got to destroy Polluticorn, before he pollutes everything in sight. Red Ranger gets back up. Goldar and Scorpina leap in and stand in front of Polluticorn. Goldar and Scorpina are ready to battle the Rangers, but Polluticorn stops them. He wants to take care of them himself. The Rangers battle Polluticorn once more. Red Ranger and the rest of the Rangers land several blows and kicks on Polluticorn. Blue Ranger notes he doesn't even feel our attacks. Goldar comments to Scorpina that he likes Polluticorn's style. Scorpina nods her head in agreement. Polluticorn faces the Power Rangers and vows he's going to destroy them and their miserable planet. Polluticorn blasts the Rangers with his horn. The Rangers are knocked off their feet once more. Alpha 5 is working in the Command Center when the teens arrive. Jason tells Zordon that horse thing is too much. Zordon confirms the monster may prove difficult to defeat. Zordon asks Billy to help Alpha 5 with the analysis while he briefs the others. Billy walks over to Alpha 5 to help. Alpha 5 tells him the data printout is coming out. Zack asks Zordon, what's up with this new monster? Zordon replies, it's all part of Rita's latest plan to destroy Earth. Zordon has the teens observe the viewing globe. Billy joins them. Rita has created this monster, the Polluticorn, to fill the Earth with pollution. Trini tells her friends, we can't let that happen. Jason adds, there's got to be a way to stop that thing. Kimberly agrees, but how? Alpha 5 is wrapped up in sheets of data and spinning in it. His cries catch the teens' attention as Alpha 5 falls to the floor. Billy and Trini help Alpha 5 back up on his feet. Trini uncovers Alpha 5 as Billy takes a look at the sheets of data. Billy tells everyone that Polluticorn gets his power from his horn. Zordon tells Billy he has done well and brings up the image of Polluticorn on the viewing globe. Jason, Kimberly, Billy, Trini, and Zack take another look at the viewing globe. Zordon informs them that Polluticorn is attacking the Angel Grove recycling plant. On the viewing globe, Polluticorn gloats that he can pollute the planet faster than they can clean it up. Trini tells her friends, we can't let him wreck that factory. Jason and his friends morph and teleport out. Red Ranger and the rest of the Power Rangers arrive at the recycling plant. Polluticorn jumps down to them. Goldar and Scorpina are there as well.

Polluticorn tells Red Ranger his friends are finished! Polluticorn decides he needs to destroy the recycling plant first. So much to pollute, so little time! Red Ranger tells him his polluting days are over. Red Ranger battles Polluticorn with his Power Sword. Red Ranger has a difficult time and is soon knocked to the ground again.

Polluticorn turns around and flies again towards the Megazord and strikes it with it's wings. Polluticorn lands on the ground. Polluticorn turns around and faces Megazord. Polluticorn flaps it's wings to create toxic winds. Megazord tries to fight against the wind but it's no use and it soon goes flying through the air.

Megazord leaps through the air towards Polluticorn. Megazord strikes Polluticorn with it's power sword and Polluticorn is destroyed. Afterwards, Jason and his friends return to the Youth Center. The Youth Center is busy with it's recycling drive. Jason, Kimberly, Billy, Trini, and Zack sit at the counter and listen to the TV announcer talk about Angel Grove's latest attack by Rita. Once again, the amazing Power Rangers, have saved our city and the world from one of Rita Repulsa's monsters. After a lengthy battle, the Power Rangers and their zords were able to defeat the beast just before it attacked downtown Angel Grove. No people were reported injured. The teens are very pleased over the glowing news report. Ernie gets their attention by telling them there is more recycling to do. Jason, Kimberly, Billy, Trini, and Zack quickly get to work. Moments later, Billy stacks aluminum cans and announces that makes over five hundred. Kimberly and Trini work on the plastic bottles. Jason and Zack on the newspapers. Zack exclaims we just saved a redwood! Skull films Bulk as he walks into the Youth Center rolling a tire. Skull gives him direction, remember you want to help. Bulk snaps at Skull, telling him he knows his lines. Bulk states I always like to help out with the recycling drive. He rolls the tire and it knocks against Skull. Skull falls into the pile of newspapers and subsequently knocks over the pile of plastic bottles as well. Bulk laughs and walks forward, stepping into the tire and tripping himself. Bulk stumbles around and eventually falls into the pile of aluminum cans. Skull quickly scoots over and films Bulk. Bulk threatens to pound Skull. Skull points out he's still filming. Bulk tells the camera, I think, whenever possible, everything should be recycled. Bulk crushes the aluminum can he is holding and throws it at Skull. Bulk then falls back onto the floor. The next day, at Angel Grove High School, Miss Appleby is impatiently waiting for the video presentation by Bulk and Skull. Bulk gets a little nervous until Skull finally walks into the classroom with the tape. Skull announces he just finished editing it. Skull walks over to Miss Appleby and pretends to give her the tape a couple of times before she finally grabs it out of his hands. Miss Appleby tells the class, this will be very interesting. Miss Appleby puts in the tape as Skull walks to his seat. Bulk tells Miss Appleby, I'm sure it will be an award winning project. Bulk asks Skull how does it look. Skull reassures him, there are a few glitches, but nothing to worry about. Bulk is very relieved. The tape starts to play and it depicts Bulk in very mishap they had while filming. Bulk becomes alarmed and Skull gets worried as the tape continues to play. Trini and Zack and the rest of the class can't stop laughing. Soon Jason, Kimberly, and Billy join in the laughter as well. Bulk threatens Skull, but Skull gets him to calm down. The tape continues to play with hilarious shots of Bulk and Skull. Even Miss Appleby can't help chuckling. The tape ends and the classroom laughs. Bulk tells Skull he's going to pound him, camera man! Skull quickly gets up and tells Bulk he can fix it. Skull runs out of the classroom with Bulk chasing after him. The class is in stitches.

Jason and his friends are walking down the hall of Angel Grove High School, when they spot Mr. Caplan on the floor with soap suds spraying everywhere. They hurry over. Jason turns off the water fountain. Billy kneels down to see if Mr. Caplan needs a hand. Mr. Caplan replies, you five, detention now! Kimberly exclaims what! Jason has no idea what is going on. Within a few moments, Mr. Caplan cleans himself up as he addresses the students in detention. Not only are Jason, Billy, Zack, Kimberly, and Trini in detention, but Bulk and Skull as well. Mr. Caplan tells them you all know why you are here. Skull makes a raspberry sound and then looks around as if he didn't do it. Mr. Caplan continues, your drinking fountain prank was the height of delinquency. Jason starts to protest, but Mr. Caplan screams, silence! Now you are to remain in your seats for the duration of the day. I have a meeting to attend. Bulk tells Mr. Caplan to go to his meeting. I know the routine. I'll fill them in on the rest. Mr. Caplan leaves for his meeting, but warns he will be back to check on them shortly. Bulk and Skull wave goodbye to him. Skull thought he would never leave. Bulk gets up and walks over to Jason. He tells Jason to get out of his chair. Jason replies, do I see your name written on it. Bulk moves Jason's binder and reveals his name is on the desk - Buulk. Trini points out it isn't even spelled right. Jason changes desks and Bulk sits down at his desk. Skull asks Kimberly if they still are on for tonight? Kimberly replies, get real! Skull is confused. Bulk is eager to see what his mom has packed him for detention. Bulk unpacks an enormous amount of food. Jason, Billy, Kimberly, Zack, and Trini are amazed at the amount of food packed in the lunchbox. Skull walks over to Bulk and stares longingly at all the food. Bulk tells him to quit staring. Your ugly mug is causing me to lose my appetite. Skull begs for a little piece. Bulk begrudgingly hands him a can of soda. Skull takes off with the soda. Jason tells his friends, something is not right. Zack points out Skull thinks he has a date with Kimberly. Billy remarks even Skull is not that mentally deficient. Skull opens the can and it sprays on him. Jason, Billy, Kimberly, Trini, and Zack laugh. Skull chases Kimberly around the desk, preparing to spray the remains of the can on her. Instead it hits Bulk. Angry, Bulk throws a pie at Skull and it hits him in the face. Instead of being angry, Skull is happy that Bulk is sharing the pie that tastes better than his mom makes. Zack can't believe they have to put up with this all afternoon. Jason, Billy, Trini, and Kimberly groan. Zack tells his friends, this stinks. Trini adds, we're being blamed for something we didn't do. Bulk finishes his lunch. He checks his watch and gets excited that it's time for his favorite cartoon. Bulk pulls a small TV set out of his detention survival kit. He plugs in the TV and sits to enjoy his cartoon. Skull joins him. Skull is blocking Bulk's view, so he tosses him onto the floor. Skull protests that he wants to see too. Billy writes notes on what he observes as early Neanderthal social behavior. Skull makes his way back to Bulk and they both laugh at the cartoon. Within a few minutes, the cartoon is interrupted by a special report. The announcer states, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, who once fought on the side of justice as defenders of our planet, have joined with the forces of evil. Jason, Billy, Trini, Zack, and Kimberly get up from the desks and walk over to the TV. Jason tells his friends, that's bogus. We...the Power Rangers would never join the forces of evil. The announcers continues, this tragic turn of events as the Power Rangers begin a terrifying attack on downtown Angel Grove moments ago. Footage of the attack is being shown. Kimberly can't believe her eyes. Trini adds, or my ears. The announcer states, this attack was totally unprovoked and took many by surprise. Billy states, but that's impossible. Jason tells his friends, the Power Rangers are being framed. Jason, Billy, Zack, and Trini have gathered in a small group and talk in low voices. Jason tells his friends, this must be one of Rita's most evil plans yet. Billy adds, we got to get out of here and stop those phony Rangers before they destroy the world. Trini suggests they just morph. Jason disagrees. We can't reveal our identities to Bulk and Skull. Kimberly has been keeping an eye out in the hallway. She tells her friends, Caplan just took off. Now's our chance to sneak out. Kimberly leaves the classroom. Jason suggests they follow her. Bulk tells them he wouldn't. She'll be back. Skull counts backwards and sure enough Mr. Caplan returns with Kimberly in tow. Mr. Caplan tells Kimberly to stay in. An embarrassed Kimberly joins her friends as Mr. Caplan leaves the classroom. Bulk remarks to Skull, amateurs. A voice comes over the loudspeaker to announce, due to the current emergency no one is allowed to leave the school premises until further notice. Have a nice day. Everyone is frustrated. The news bulletin comes back on. Jason, Billy, Zack, Trini, and Kimberly walk back over to the set. The announcer states, the magnitude of this crisis is increasing. As is the amount of destruction, which at this point, is impossible to estimate. All efforts to stop the Power Rangers have failed and the city, perhaps the world, is at their mercy. Jason, Billy, Trini, Zack, and Kimberly walk away to the other side of the room and speak in low voices once more. Jason tells them morphing is the only way. Trini asks, but how? But Jason doesn't have an answer. Zack comes up with an idea. Zack walks over to Bulk and Skull. He asks Skull if he wants to see a magic trick? Skull replies, sure. Bulk sarcastically remarks, yeah geek, show us something we haven't seen. Kimberly suggests the alphabet. Skull and Bulk make faces at Kimberly. Zack breaks it up. Zack tells them, I can make us disappear. Skull is in disbelief - no way! Zack instructs them that they have to cover their eyes. Jason adds and count backwards from ten. Bulk and Skull go along and start to cover up their eyes. Trini adds, now plug your ears with your fingers and then count backwards. Bulk and Skull nod their heads in agreement and proceed with the directions. Zack joins his friends and they morph and teleport out of the classroom. Red Ranger and the rest of the Power Rangers arrive in downtown Angel Grove. Scorpina stands with the fake Rangers. "Red Ranger" tells the Power Rangers they don't stand a chance. Red Ranger replies, you can't fight the real thing. Scorpina has the fake Rangers charge into battle with the Rangers. Each Ranger fights it's fake counterpart. There is some confusion as to who is who. "Pink Ranger" gets knocked down and Yellow Ranger runs over to help. "Pink Ranger" repays this by attacking Yellow Ranger. Pink Ranger uses her Power Bow to attack her fake counterpart. The arrow hits and "Pink Ranger" reverts to it's Putty form and is defeated. Pink Ranger runs over to Yellow Ranger and asks if she is okay? Yellow Ranger tells her she is okay and thanks her. Pink Ranger wonders if Yellow Ranger is really Trini. Yellow Ranger proves it by throwing her Power Daggers at "Yellow Ranger". "Yellow Ranger" is hit and reverts to Putty form and is defeated. Blue Ranger fires it's blade blaster at it's duplicate. "Blue Ranger" avoids the blasts and takes out it's "Power Lance" to battle Blue Ranger with. Blue Ranger battles "Blue Ranger" with his own Power Lance. Blue Ranger strikes "Blue Ranger" with his Power Lance and "Blue Ranger" reverts to it's Putty form and is defeated. Black Ranger fights "Black Ranger". Black Ranger tosses "Black Ranger" to the ground. Black Ranger leaps towards "Black Ranger" with his Power Ax drawn. Black Ranger strikes "Black Ranger" with his Power Ax. "Black Ranger" reverts to his Putty form and is defeated. Red Ranger and "Red Ranger" fight each other with their Power Swords. It is an intense fight, but eventually Red Ranger strikes "Red Ranger" with a hard kick that sends him flying and landing on the grass. "Red Ranger" reverts back to Twin Man. Red Ranger and the rest of the Rangers race towards Twin Man as he got up. Twin Man exclaims farewell Power brats! He twirls around a weapon shaped like a silver rod that releases energy towards the Red Ranger and the rest of the Rangers. Red Ranger and the rest of the Rangers are hit and knocked to the ground. Twin Man chants, mirror, mirror, all around. Smash the Rangers to the ground. A kaleidoscope effect forms around Twin Man and the Rangers. Twin Man forms circles with his weapon which makes Red Ranger and the rest of the Rangers dizzy. Twin Man fires the weapon and Red Ranger and the rest of the Rangers are hit once more. Twin Man laughs as Red Ranger and the rest of the Rangers struggle to get up. Twin Man charges towards the Rangers. Red Ranger and the rest of the Rangers fire their Blade Blasters at Twin Man, striking him and knocking his weapon out of his hands. Red Ranger and the rest of the Rangers form the Power Blaster and fire it at Twin Man. Twin Man is destroyed. After the battle, several citizens race towards the Power Rangers. A woman tells Blue Ranger and Pink Ranger that we saw the whole thing. It's terrible how those evil twins tried to frame you. A man tells Black Ranger, we knew you wouldn't let us down. Not the real Power Rangers. Black Ranger hangs his head in embarrassment. A news reporter happily reports, and so the Power Rangers are cleared of all wrong doing and once again, made the world a safer place. Afterwards, Jason and his friends teleported back into the classroom. Thankfully it was empty and Jason and his friends hurried into their seats. Bulk and Skull entered with Mr. Caplan. Bulk and Skull were surprised to see them and asked how they did it? Zack replied it was magic. Kimberly added they used mirrors. Mr. Caplan told them he hoped they had learned their lesson and they were dismissed from detention. Jason and his friends filed out of the classroom with big grins as Bulk and Skull puzzled over what had happened.

Kimberly is walking down the halls of Angel Grove High School with a newspaper in her hands. She is reading it to Jason, Trini, and Billy as they walk along with her. And because of their contribution to justice, and their unending efforts to protect the entire planet, Angel Grove's city officials declare today Power Ranger Day. They are all excited about the article. Zack walks out of a different hallway and spots his friends at the bottom of the stairs. He walks over to them and asks what's up? Trini tells him they are reading about the Power Rangers. Zack is interested in what the article says. Kimberly continues, Mayor Carrington hopes that the mysterious super heroes will make a public appearance in Angel Grove park, where countless fans will be gathered to celebrate. Kimberly has a feeling the Power Rangers will show up. With big grins, they walk away. After school, there is a big crowd at Angel Grove park which include Ernie and Miss Appleby. Jason and Zack walk among the crowds. Zack is excited over all of these people coming to see the Power Rangers. Zack spots Angela in the crowd and call out to her. Angela walks over and Zack asks her out. Angela turns him down and tells him if he was Power Ranger, she would say yes in a minute. Angela tells him to keep trying and walks away. Jason jokes that it's nice to be appreciated. Zack is very eager to go ahead and morph. Jason clams him down and tells him they still have plenty of time. Soon Kimberly, Billy, and Trini walk up to them. After awhile, Jason asks his friends if they are ready to morph? Zack is very ready, I got to impress Angela. Bulk shouts out of our way as he walks through them, with Skull following close behind. Kimberly asks her friends, what are they doing in those costumes? Jason tells his friends, this is something I got to see. Bulk and Skull get up on stage and walk towards the podium. Bulk greets the crowds. Skull gives a small wave as Bulk talks to the crowd. He welcomes them to this historic day when the city's two most dynamic and incredible super heroes to ever walk the Earth, decided to move to this fair city and protect it. Bulk introduces himself as The Incredible Bulkster. Skull introduces himself as Super Skull, Boy Wonderful. The crowd is very amused, including Jason and his friends. A young boy shouts out to them to show some of their super powers. Bulk and Skull do several super heroes poses. Skull starts to get tangle up in his cape. The crowd laughs.
