Page Thirty-Two

The root creeps closer to Jason. Jason has his back turned and does not see it. Soon the root wraps itself around Jason's legs. Another roots comes slithering up. Jason breaks free but only for a moment as both roots grab a hold of Jason and try to strangle him. Jason breaks free and he is quite shaken. Quickly regaining his composure, Jason morphs. Red Ranger immediately battles the roots with his Power Sword. But it isn't long before he is wrapped tightly by the roots. Suddenly, Yellow Ranger, Blue Ranger, Black Ranger, and Pink Ranger leap in with their Blade Blasters drawn. The four Rangers strike Octoplant's roots and free Red Ranger. Red Ranger falls to his knees as he tries to catch his breath, but he reassures the rest of the Rangers that he is okay. The Rangers gathered around the planted seeds. Red Ranger reaches for the seeds. Blue Ranger warns him to be careful, the energy field may still be activated. But there is no shock this time. Red Ranger tells the rest of the Rangers, Alpha 5 had shut it down so that they could get to the seeds. Red Ranger and Pink Ranger start digging with their shovels. Scorpina and Goldar arrive. Scorpina tells the Rangers, now it's time for you to leave those seeds alone! Goldar summons the Super Putties. Black Ranger, Pink Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Blue Ranger battle the Super Putties with their Blade Blasters. Black Ranger fights a batch of Putties. Blue Ranger fights another batch of Putties. Blue Ranger gets knocked to the ground. Blue Ranger quickly gets back up and battles the Putties with his Power Lance. Yellow Ranger and Pink Ranger are kept busy fighting their batch of Putties. Scorpina and Goldar leap into the battle. Yellow Ranger, Blue Ranger, Black Ranger, and Pink Ranger have their Blade Blasters drawn as they face down Goldar and Scorpina. Goldar suggests to Scorpina that they blast them. Scorpina and Goldar leap into the air, combine their weapons, and fire at the Rangers. The four Rangers are hit and knocked off their feet. Red Ranger battles several Putties with his Blade Blaster and knocks them off their feet. He joins the rest of the Rangers and tells them, come on Rangers, let's get it together. Unknown to them, Octoplant is starting to bloom. Meanwhile, the battle continues. This time the Rangers are kept busy battling Goldar and Scorpina. Red Ranger uses his Power Sword as he battles Goldar. The rest of the Rangers use their Blade Blasters as they battle Goldar. After awhile, Pink Ranger and Black Ranger team up as they battle Scorpina. Red Ranger is knocked to the ground. The rest of the Rangers hurry to his side. Goldar joins Scorpina and stands by her side. Scorpina calls out, Red Ranger, I have news for you chum. You and your playmates have meet your match. Goldar and Scorpina blast the Rangers with their weapons. The Rangers are hit and knocked off their feet once more. As the Rangers struggle to get back up, Red Ranger tells them, we can't let them beat us. Octoplant arrives and grows to giant size. Yellow Ranger points out the giant Octoplant to the rest of the Rangers. Octoplant calls them puny. Yellow Ranger takes offense to this. Puny hun? We'll see about that you overgrown petal pusher! Right guys! The Rangers summon their zords. The Rangers leap into their zords. The zords charge towards Octoplant. Octoplant's eyes glow red and it fires at the zords. The zords are hit. Moments later, Octoplant is walking through the burning city when the ground begins to shake. It's the Power Rangers forming the Megazord. Red Ranger tells the rest of the Rangers, let's finish her! Octoplant charges towards Megazord and they battle. Megazord lands a punch, but Octoplant lands a kick. They each continue to land strikes against the other. Black Ranger is surprised that she keeps coming. Blue Ranger points out that she is mostly made of vegetable matter, so our punches have little or no effect on her. Red Ranger is confident there is something they can do. Octoplant throws one of it's vines and it wraps around Megazord. This pins down Megazord's arms. Yellow Ranger doesn't like the idea of being sitting ducks. Octoplant's eyes glow red and fires at Megazord. Megazord is hit hard. Black Ranger calls out a warning, here she comes again! Red Ranger informs the rest that one more blast and they are history. Octoplant charges towards Megazord. Red Ranger calls for the Power Sword. As the sword arrives, it hits the vines, freeing Megazord. Octoplant jumps towards Megazord, but misses. Octoplant becomes distracted by it's own reflection in the building. Red Ranger tells the rest of the Rangers, she's looking at herself. Now's our chance! Megazord charges up it's power sword. Octoplant turns around and sees Megazord. Megazord strikes Octoplant with it's power sword. Octoplant is destroyed. The next day, Jason, Kimberly, Trini, Billy, and Zack are walking down the stairs of school, heading to their classroom. Jason tells his friends, plants can be amazing. Kimberly adds, leave it to Rita to take something as beautiful as a plant and make it evil. Trini just hopes that's the end of her green thumb. The teens enter the classroom and take their seats. Mr. Caplan is at the front of the classroom. He tells the class, I just want you to know that I am extremely impressed with all your science projects. And I passed by the park this morning, to see how the saplings fared. You really did a great job. Billy and Zack high five each other. Trini hopes the people of Angel Grove will treat them with care and respect. Billy adds when they grow up to be trees, they will provide us with shade and clean air. Mr. Caplan is pleased with their comments. Bulk and Skull walk in at the back of the classroom. They are covered in filth. Bulk wants to know, what about us? We deserve an A+ after what we've been through. Skull agrees. Mr. Caplan only notes that they are late again. Bulk explains, we got taken for a ride and then we got dumped! Skull adds, in a dumpster. Mr. Caplan asks what's the problem here? He walks towards them. Mr. Caplan asks, what is it with you two? Mr. Caplan then gets a strong whiff of them and faints. Bulk and Skull take a sniff of each other and don't understand the problem. The rest of the class just laughs.

Angel Grove was having a "Adopt A Pet" program in the park. Jason, Kimberly, Trini, and Billy were all there to help. Jason passed a rabbit to a young boy. Kimberly made a young boy promise to take care of a dog, before giving him the leash. Trini and Billy also had a dog. Trini caution the new owners to be gentle with her, she's only a baby. The four teens gathered together. Jason comments, if it keeps up like this, we'll find all the pets new owners today. Trini hopes all the adorable animals end up in good homes. Billy adds having a pet is a big responsibility. His friends nod their heads in agreement. Billy glances away for a moment, and is surprised by what he sees. Billy thinks he may need to have his glasses examined, but if I'm not mistaken....Billy points in the direction. Kimberly finishes, a lady walking a pig. The lady with the pig walks up to the four teens. She asks if someone would be able to help her? I need to find a nice family to adopt dear Norman. Trini thinks the pig is cute. Kimberly does not, but feels bad when the old lady starts to cry. The lady pleads, won't somebody help me? Trini responds, of course we will madam. Jason adds, we'll do everything we can to help Norman find a good home. The old lady is very grateful and thanks them. She gives Kimberly the leash and pets Norman affectionately before leaving. Jason, Billy, Trini, and Kimberly continue to work at the "Adopt A Pet" program. After awhile, Billy gives away a rat and announces to his friends, that about does it. Bulk and Skull come running up. Bulk shouts at them, don't anybody move. Skull tells them, they want a pet too. Bulk adds, something cool and different, like us. Norman comes squealing out from underneath the table. Billy tells them, fellas, meet Norman. Kimberly gives Bulk the leash. Bulk and Skull take a look at the pig and decide they like the idea of Norman being their pet. Later, Zack gives Billy a device that a Putty had dropped in the woods when Zack fought them. The next day, Jason and Kimberly are at their lockers at Angel Grove High School. Billy, Trini, and Zack come running up to them. Zack asks them if they have seen Bulk and Skull? Kimberly replies, yeah, they were just here with that disgusting pig. Jason asks what's up? Trini confides, Rita might do something to Norman. Jason tells Billy and Trini to keep working on that device. The rest of us will split up and look for Bulk and Skull. They all hurry away. Jason and Kimberly have no luck finding Bulk and Skull and teleport to the Command. They are soon joined by Billy and Trini. Moments later, Zack teleports into the Command Center. Zack apologizes, sorry guys, he got away. (Zack had confronted Pudgy Pig at the Youth Center.) Zordon tells them, it's apparent that once again we faced Rita's evil Pudgy Pig. We must stop this overweight menace and stop it once and for all. Trini tells Zordon, we can't hurt it. It's a real pig. Kimberly adds, are you ready for this? It's name is Norman. Zordon replies, this is indeed most unfortunate. Do your best to bring him under control. At all cost, you must keep Pudgy Pig from running free. Jason, Billy, Zack, Trini, and Kimberly morph and teleport out. Red Ranger and the rest of the Power Rangers arrive in Angel Grove city. Pudgy Pig is sitting on top of one of the buildings. Red Ranger has his Blade Blaster ready. Red Ranger tells the rest of the Rangers, it's going to be all we can stomach guys. Blue Ranger warns the rest of the Rangers that Pudgy Pig is about to descend. Pudgy Pig jumps off the building and back on top of the building and then back down. The Rangers charges towards him with their power weapons drawn. Red Ranger strikes Pudgy Pig with his Power Sword. Pudgy Pig knocks him aside. Blue Ranger strikes him with his Power Lance, and is also struck aside. Pink Ranger and Yellow Ranger team up with their Power Bow and Power Daggers. They are knocked to the ground. Pink Ranger tells Pudgy Pig, we don't want to hurt you. It means nothing to Pudgy Pig. Blue Ranger leaps in and Pudgy Pig lands a kick that sends Blue Ranger flying. Black Ranger charges towards Pudgy Pig with his Power Ax. Pudgy Pig stops the Power Ax and knocks Black Ranger down. Red Ranger leaps in with his Power Sword. Red Ranger battles Pudgy Pig with his Power Sword. Pudgy Pig soon knocks Red Ranger down. The rest of the Rangers gather around Red Ranger. Pudgy Pig blasts them. Red Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Black Ranger are knocked to the ground. Blue Ranger and Pink Ranger hurried over and help them back up. Red Ranger had his Blade Blaster drawn when he notices Pudgy Pig has vanished. Black Ranger can't believe he got away again. Yellow Ranger asks, what are we going to do? Red Ranger responds, get some help. Red Ranger tells Zordon, we lost him. Zordon replies, understood Power Rangers. Alpha 5 soon located Pudgy Pig. The Power Rangers are teleported to a farm. Red Ranger tells the rest of the Rangers, that sausage head has got to be around here somewhere. Yellow Ranger states, we'll find him. Pink Ranger adds, yeah, it's not like he can blend in with the scenery or anything. Red Ranger suggests they split up and search for Pudgy Pig - they will cover more ground that way. The Rangers split up and search for Pudgy Pig. Red Ranger wonders, where is he? Yellow Ranger runs through the farm and comments, no sign of him anywhere. Red Ranger, Pink Ranger, Blue Ranger, and Yellow Ranger gather together. Red Ranger asks them, anybody have better luck than I did? Black Ranger comes running up and tells them, they are not going to believe this. Pink Ranger guesses, you found him! Black Ranger has the rest of the Rangers follow him. They hide behind a stack of hale bales. Black Ranger tells them, check that out. Pudgy Pig is dancing. Pink Ranger can't believe it, a dancing pig. They all laugh. Yellow Ranger tells them, now I've seen everything. Red Ranger cautions them to not be so loud. We don't want him to know we are here. Pudgy Pig kneels before another pig and talks to it. Yellow Ranger concludes Pudgy Pig is in love. Pink Ranger finds the idea gross. Blue Ranger tells them it confirms their hypnosis that beneath the facade, it is indeed Norman. Yellow Ranger adds, one of Rita's monsters could never fall in love that way. Red Ranger's communicator goes off. It is Zordon. He tells them it appears Pudgy Pig was a diversion to keep you occupied. Zordon continues, Goldar is attacking Angel Grove. There is not a moment to lose. Intercept him immediately. Red Ranger tells the rest of the Rangers, let's go get him Rangers! The Rangers teleport out. In the city, giant Goldar shoots lasers out of his eyes. Scorpina arrives on top of a building. The Rangers arrived in the city. Red Ranger has his Blade Blaster drawn. Red Ranger warns the rest of the Rangers, this is going to be tougher than we thought. Pink Ranger can't wait till she can get her hands on Scorpina. Giant Goldar continues to wreck the city. From top of the building, Scorpina blasts the Rangers. Scorpina laughs as the Rangers are hit. Several Putties arrive as well. The Rangers battle the Putties. Scorpina leaps down from the building and battles the Rangers as the Putties have been defeated. Squatt and Baboo join Scorpina as she uses her weapon to knock the Rangers off their feet. Goldar walks over and threatens to crush them like flies. The Rangers leap out of the way as Goldar tries to stomp on them. Red Ranger declares, we need dinosaur power now. The Rangers summon their zords. The zords arrive and the Rangers immediately leap inside them. The Megazord is quickly formed, first in tank mode, then in battle mode. Goldar immediately strikes the Megazord with his sword. Megazord and Goldar battle. Goldar does well against Megazord. Red Ranger tells the rest of the Rangers, turn up the axillaries, we need more power. Goldar kicks and strikes the Megazord with his sword. Goldar has a hold on one of Megazord's arms. Megazord manages to break free by stomping on Goldar's foot, which makes Goldar let go of the arm. Red Ranger summons the power sword. Goldar charges towards Megazord. Megazord strikes Goldar with it's sword. Goldar leaps into the air and lands a kick on Megazord's chest. Megazord is knocked back a couple of feet. Goldar flips through the air and lands on his feet. Goldar walks towards the Megazord, stating, this time you're mine. Red Ranger gives the command to power the sword to full charge. Goldar vows, you haven't seen the last of me, fools! Goldar vanishes before Megazord can strike. Jason, Billy, Kimberly, and Zack returned to the farm. Pudgy Pig was still trying to charm the pig. Billy had the device in his hands. Kimberly asks him if he was sure it was going to work? Billy was able to recalibrate the transformer. If my calculations are correct, it should reverse the process with no harm to Norman. Billy holds out the device and points it at Pudgy Pig. Pudgy Pig transforms back to Norman. Zack exclaims, you did it Billy! Jason tells him good work. Kimberly can't believe she is going to say this, I actually think they look cute. Norman and his pig nuzzle. The following day, Jason, Billy, Zack, and Kimberly are in Miss Appleby's classroom, chatting before class starts. Trini walks in and joins her friends. She has very good news to tell them. She asks them if they remember the pig Norman met? They all do. Trini continues, well the farmer, her owner, decided to adopt Norman too. Jason thinks that's great and they are in high spirits. Kimberly believes they will live happily ever after. Mr. Caplan stands in front of the classroom. He tells the class that Miss Appleby is absent today, so I'll be substituting. I've got a wonderful lecture prepared and fortunate enough to have a stunning live specimen here in our own class. Mr. Caplan opens the door and brings in a pig. Bulk asks Skull, did he say pig? Skull confirms that he did. Bulk and Skull scream and run to the back of the classroom, where they climb on top of a table to stay as far away from the pig as possible. Mr. Caplan is bewildered by their behavior. The rest of the class, including Jason, Billy, Trini, Zack, and Kimberly laugh.

Jason, Trini, Kimberly, Billy, Zack, and other students pour out of a classroom at Angel Grove High School. Trini can't wait to go scuba diving. Jason tells his friends, you won't believe the reef I found, it's awesome. Zack is looking forward to seeing really big fish down there. Bulk and Skull walk towards the lockers, they have fishing gear with them. Bulk pushes a student aside as he walks along. Trini is the first to notice Bulk and Skull and comments to her friends, you don't have to look far. Some of the biggest fish are right here. Bulk and Skull stop and face the teens. Bulk tells them, don't count on seeing any big ones dork, because they are going to be at the end of my hook. Skull adds yeah, his hook. Jason, Trini, Billy, Zack, and Kimberly are not impressed. Bulk opens his locker and lots of mostly fishing stuff falls out. Bulk and Skull try to catch the stuff, but most of it ends up on the floor. Trini tells Bulk, that's disgusting. Bulk doesn't know what she means. He walks over and picks up a can of bait off the floor. Bulk tells her, this is perfectly good bait. Skull adds, yeah, it will make us irresistible to fish. Just like with the ladies. Skull gives a wink. Bulk shakes his head in agreement. Trini tells Skull to get a life. Annoyed, Bulk asks Skull, what are you yapping about? Get the stuff, there is fish waiting to be caught. They head back over to the locker. Skull picks up a net, unaware that Bulk's foot is in it, and Bulk falls to the floor. Bulk glares at Skull, but Skull is amused. He tells Bulk, look Bulk, I caught one already. Bulk scrambles up and Skull stays a safe distance away. Skull walks backwards as he tells Bulk to take it easy as Bulk goes after him. Zack tells his friends, I don't think the fish need to be worried about those two. Jason invites Billy to come with them. Jason is a certified diving instructor. Billy declines the invite, he has a regrettable dislike of fish. Trini invites Kimberly along. Kimberly turns it down as well. No reason to spoil a perfectly good hair day. Besides Billy and I are going to the park for a picnic. Later, Jason, Trini, and Zack are at the beach, getting into their wet suits. Jason tells them lets do a final equipment check. Zack agrees, like you always say, safety first. Trini can't wait to get down there. The fish and plant life is going to be beautiful. Jason instructs his friends to make sure your valves, gauges, and regulators are clear and working right and that your other equipment fit properly. The three teens make sure their equipment is safe. Jason asks if everyone is ready? Trini gives a thumbs up. Jason reminds them to remember the safety signals and to stay together. Zack tells his friends, let's do it. Soon they are in the ocean. Jason, Trini, and Zack enjoy exploring the ocean. Later, Jason, Trini, and Zack have finished scuba diving and are walking along the beach, still thrilled with their adventure. Zack tells his friends, he can't believe how clear it is down there. Jason and Trini agree. As they take off their scuba equipment, Jason tells Zack and Trini, that was an awesome dive. Zack adds, totally amazing. Trini can't believe how beautiful it is down there. Jason's communicator goes off. It is Zordon. Zordon tells them, Rita has trapped the other Rangers with a venomous Goo Fish. You must help them immediately. Jason tells Zordon, we are on the way. Jason, Trini, and Zack morph and teleport to the battle. Red Ranger fires his Blade Blaster at Goo Fish, just as Goo Fish was about to strike Pink Ranger. Goo Fish is knocked aside. He tells the Rangers, another time, and dives into the ocean. Red Ranger, Yellow Ranger, Pink Ranger, and Black Ranger hurry over to Blue Ranger, who is still crouched down in fear. They ask Blue Ranger if he is okay? Blue Ranger gets up with no explanation of what happened to him. Jason and his friends teleport in and Billy is feeling pretty bad about what happened. Jason tells Zordon that they had a lot of trouble with that Goo Fish. Zack adds, that was one of Rita's worst monsters ever. Billy blames himself - I couldn't even bring myself to get close to that thing. Alpha 5 has sympathy for Billy, as does his friends. Trini tells Billy, don't blame yourself. Everyone has something they are afraid of. Kimberly asks Zordon if there is anything they can do to help Billy? Jason adds, we're really going to need him. Zordon replies, Billy, Rita has cast a spell on you by using your fear of fish. If you face your fear and overcome it, her spell will be broken. Billy doesn't think he can face that sea monster. Zordon tells him he has no choice. Zordon instructs the teens to behold the viewing globe. The viewing globe shows Goo Fish. Zordon continues, as you can see, the Goo Fish is craving a terrible path of destruction. It's toxic venom will immobilize anything it touches. Humans and sea life alike. You must overcome your fear Billy. The other Rangers need you. Kimberly is concern and asks Billy if he is sure he is ready for this? Trini adds, we're going to need you. Billy replies, I'll try not to let you down. Jason and his friends morph and teleport out. Red Ranger and the rest of the Rangers arrive on the beach and find Goo Fish with several Putties. Pink Ranger tells the team that she and Blue Ranger will take care of the Putties, they can take care of Goo Fish. Goo Fish instructs the Putties to attack. Red Ranger and the rest of the Rangers are kept busy battling the Putties. Red Ranger uses his Power Sword as he battles the Putties. Goo Fish approaches Blue Ranger. Pink Ranger yells out a warning. Blue Ranger is immediately filled with fear. He yells at Goo Fish to go away. Red Ranger sees Blue Ranger is in trouble and leaps over with his Power Sword. Goo Fish knocks Red Ranger aside before Red Ranger can strike. Yellow Ranger and Black Ranger race over to Red Ranger to make sure he is okay. Red Ranger is okay. The three Rangers are ready to fight Goo Fish when he shoots out his toxic venom on the three Rangers. Red Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Black Ranger cannot move. Red Ranger yells out to Pink Ranger and Blue Ranger, that they are stuck. We need help! Blue Ranger crunches down in fear and tells them he can't. Goo Fish is ready to go after Blue Ranger once more. Pink Ranger leaps in the air and fires her Power Bow. Goo Fish uses his lance to knock the arrow away. Pink Ranger lands in front of Red Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Black Ranger and stands protectively in front of them with her Power Bow at the ready. Goo Fish throws several starfish and sand dollars at Pink Ranger. When the starfish and sand dollars hit Pink Ranger there is several explosions. Goo Fish then throws a couple of fish at Pink Ranger. Pink Ranger is hit again with several more explosions. Pink Ranger falls to the ground. Red Ranger yells at Blue Ranger, come on buddy! You can do it! Blue Ranger confesses he wants to, but I'm afraid. Pink Ranger pleads with him. Billy please, we need you. Blue Ranger remembers Zordon's advice. If I face my fear, I can break Rita's spell. Blue Ranger breaks Rita's spell. Blue Ranger leaps over Goo Fish's head several times. Goo Fish shoots out his venom, but it misses Blue Ranger and hits his own face instead. Goo Fish screams in pain. Blue Ranger faces down Goo Fish with his Power Lance. Blue Ranger declares, I've faced my fear and overcome it! Blue Ranger is back! Blue Ranger strikes Goo Fish with his Power Lance. Goo Fish is knocked aside, but quickly gets back up. The rest of the Rangers are freed and race over to Blue Ranger. Red Ranger and the rest of the Rangers face down Goo Fish with their power weapons. Goo Fish grows to giant size. The Rangers summon their zords and they quickly arrive. The Rangers leap into their zords and quickly form the Megazord. Goo Fish charges towards Megazord with it's lance. Red Ranger calls out a warning to the rest of the Rangers. Megazord walks towards Goo Fish and they battle. Goo Fish strikes Megazord with his lance. Goo Fish makes another strike, but this time Megazord knocks the blow aside. Goo Fish strikes Megazord once more. Red Ranger tells the rest of the Rangers, he got us good that time. Brace for more Rangers. Goo Fish swings it's lance around and then charges towards the Megazord once more. Goo Fish tries to strike Megazord with his lance, but Megazord blocks the blow. Goo Fish tries to kick Megazord, but Megazord blocks that as well. Goo Fish manages another strike against Megazord. Megazord grabs the lance and spins Goo Fish around. Megazord smashes the lance. Goo Fish becomes angry and shoots it toxic venom at Megazord. The venom lands on the Megazord's feet and it can't move. Goo Fish gloats, try this on for size. Goo Fish shoots a red laser out of his eye. It hits the Megazord hard. Blue Ranger exclaims, we're going down! The Megazord falls to the ground. Goo Fish laughs. Black Ranger can't believe it. We're losing to a overgrown herring. If only we could get more power. Wait a minute, that's it. Red Ranger has no idea what Black Ranger is talking about. Black Ranger explains, covert the goo into energy. The goo is converted into energy and soon the Megazord is back on it's feet. Goo Fish protests. No! I had you finished! All fished out! Red Ranger replies, you were wrong! Alright Rangers, let's finish this fight! The power sword arrives and Megazord quickly grabs it. Goo Fish is still protesting. No! No! No! You cheated! Goo Fish runs towards the Megazord. Megazord strikes Goo Fish with the power sword and it is destroyed. Red Ranger tells Blue Ranger, I'm proud of you Billy. You conquered your fear. Blue Ranger proudly replies, yes I did, didn't I. The next day, Jason, Trini, Zack, and Kimberly are hanging out at the Youth Center when Billy and Ernie walk in dressed in fishing gear. They walk over to Jason, Trini, Zack, and Kimberly's table. Billy excitedly asks them to look at what I caught as he holds up a sack cloth bag. Trini is very impressed. Kimberly tells Billy, you have really overcome your fear of fish. I'm very proud of you. Jason adds, maybe you'll come scuba diving with us next time. Billy replies, I'll like that Jason. I think I could learn to really enjoy that sport. Ernie tells the group that Billy was great. I'm going to cook up the catch in a few minutes and it's on the house. Jason and his friends are excited. Ernie walks away. Bulk and Skull walk in. Kimberly comments, it's really starting to smell fishy around here. Bulk tells her it's because he caught the king of the sea. With disbelief, Jason asks Bulk, what did you catch? Zack replies, probably a cold. Bulk tells them, I got the big one. Something you nerds could never do. Bulk snaps his fingers and tells Skull to show them. Skull pulls out a big can of tuna from the bag. Everyone laughs, except for Bulk. Bulk, in a low voice, tells Skull, I thought I told you to buy a big fish. Skull replies, I did! It's the only kind of fish I know. The teens laugh some more. Bulk, angrily, asks Billy, what are you laughing at? Let me see what you caught! Bulk grabs the bag from Billy and puts his head inside it. Billy warns him, I'll be careful there's a....Bulk removes his head and there is a lobster tangling from his nose. Billy finishes, a live lobster in there. The teens laugh once more.

Angel Grove is hosting the Oddball Games at the park. There are two teams, the red team and the blue team. Jason, Kimberly, Trini, Billy, and Zack are on the red team. Bulk, Skull, and Angela are on the blue team. Jason and Bulk compete against each other as they run through a path of tires, having to make sure they place their foot in each one as they race along. They both do well, but at the very last tire, Bulk trips and falls onto the grass. With a mouthful of grass, Bulk glares at Jason's back. There is also sack race. Zack and Angela are both in this portion of the games. Zack gives Angela a hard time as they hop along. Trini and Skull are waiting at their portion of the race - which is the wheel barrel race. Trini shouts encouragement to Jason. Jason reaches Trini and they take off. A few moments later, Bulk reaches Skull and they try to overtake Jason and Trini. Skull ends up getting his face shoved into the grass. From the sidelines, Billy, Kimberly, Zack and the rest of the crowd cheer the competitors on. Trini and Jason cross the finish line first. Everyone cheers, except Bulk and Skull. Jason helps Trini to her feet and they join their friends. Mr. Caplan announces the red team wins. But there is tie between the red team and the blue team in terms of points. Now the final event - tug of war. The winning team will receive the coveted Noble Lion Trophy. Everyone gets very excited. The two teams face each over as they brace for tug of war. Bulk shouts, we're going to whip you good Jason! Jason replies, give it your best shot Bulk! Zack shouts out to Angela, asking if she wants to defect over to the winning side? Zack man saved a special place just for you. Angela tells him to dream on! Bulk adds that Angela knows what side the real men are on. Mr. Caplan tells the teams, on the count of three, I will blow the whistle. Zack is confident they can do it. Mr. Caplan counts to three, blows the whistle, and the tug of war begins. Both teams are giving it their all as they try to pull the other team over. Bulk yells, that trophy is mine buzzard breath! Be prepared to eat mud. Mr. Caplan walks over to the blue team, to keep an closer eye on Bulk. Kimberly shouts, prepare to eat your words Bulk! Both teams continue to struggle to pull the other team over. Billy suggests they apply the law of physics. Trini shouts out, teamwork everyone! The red teams pulls the blue team over. Bulk, Skull, Mr. Caplan, and Angela fall face first into the mud. Bulk picks up his face, spits mud out, and glares at the red team. Jason, Kimberly, Zack, Trini, and Billy cheer, along with the rest of the red team. Billy thinks it's great they won the Noble Lion trophy. Skull and Mr. Caplan struggle to get out of the mud, along with Angela. Zack notices Angela's dilemma and walks over to her. He removes his red tank and offers some assistance as he lays the red tank onto the mud. Angela tells him, you're just loving this, aren't you? Zack doesn't answer, but the grin on his face is enough of an answer. Zack helps Angela up. Jason helps Mr. Caplan up. With an unhappy look on his face, Mr. Caplan tries to wipe the mud off his sweat suit. Moments later, Jason, Kimberly, Billy, Zack, and Trini have gathered together and are having a great laugh over the games. Zack asks his friends, did you see Bulk's face when he hit the mud? They all laugh. Trini then asks, how about poor Mr. Caplan? They laugh some more. Billy tells his friends, once again, teamwork has proven most effective against our adversaries. Jason is confident Ernie is going to get a big kick out of the Noble Lion trophy. Kimberly glances over at the stand, which had the Noble Lion trophy on display and notices it is missing. Kimberly points this out to her friends and they all walk over to the stand. Zack is sure Bulk and Skull have something to do with this. Kimberly tells them, we cannot let them get away with this. Billy points out they have a large area to cover. Jason suggests they split up. Jason and Kimberly go in one direction, while Billy, Zack, and Trini go in another direction. Jason and Kimberly search their area of the park with no luck. Jason asks Kimberly, if you were Bulk and Skull, where would you go? Kimberly tells Jason to not even mention such a horror. Several Putties arrive. Jason fights a batch of Putties as Kimberly battles another set of Putties. After awhile, the Putties vanish. The teens get back together and decide to give up the search for the trophy and Bulk and Skull. Jason, Zack, and Kimberly go to the Youth Center. Jason and Zack work out on the punching bag. Zack tells Jason, it's too bad about that trophy. Jason replies, we don't need a trophy to know we are winners. Kimberly runs over to them. She tells Zack, don't look now, but your dream diva is heading our way. Angela has walked into the Youth Center. Jason asks him if he is going to ask Angela out again? Zack admits, she's a babeasaurus, but I gave up on Angela a long time ago. Zack continues to work out, unaware that Angela is walking straight towards him. Angela greets Zack, and asks him how about you and me catching a matinee or something? Jason and Zack are both stunned. Zack glances back at Jason. Jason gives him a thumbs up and motions him to go with Angela. Zack and Angela walk away with their arms linked together. Zack glances back at his friends and tells them, don't call me, I'll call you. Zack and Angela head out. Jason and Kimberly are very happy for their friend. Jason and Kimberly sit at a table. After while, Billy and Trini walk in and head straight for Kimberly's and Jason's table. Trini tells them, this storm is just raging. It came out of nowhere. Ernie races over and announces that they are in a tornado watch. Everyone, let's head for the basement. Ernie and the customers, except for Jason, Kimberly, Trini, and Billy, head for the basement. Kimberly tells her friends, I don't like the looks of this. Jason adds, something tells me this isn't mother nature at work. Trini thinks it's Rita. Jason's communicator goes off. Jason checks to make sure the room is empty before responding to Zordon. Zordon tells them, Rita has unleashed another of her monsters. You must teleport to the Command Center at once. Jason tells Zordon that Zack is not with them. Zordon replies, Alpha will contact him from here. Hurry Rangers. Jason, Billy, Trini, and Kimberly teleport out of the Youth Center. Alpha 5 is working at the control panels when Jason, Billy, Trini, and Kimberly teleport in. Zordon informs them, we have a dire situation on our hands. Rita has used your Noble Lion trophy to summon evil Goatan, the lion goat. Disgruntled, Trini remarks, so that's what happened to the trophy. Zordon instructs them to observe the viewing globe. Jason, Trini, Kimberly, and Billy walk over. The viewing globe shows Goatan. Kimberly remarks, man, that dude is bad news. Zordon informs them that Goatan has the power to create blizzards, tornadoes, and even hurricanes to destroy the world. This creature must be stopped quickly. Trini asks Alpha 5 if he has managed to contact Zack yet? Alpha 5 replies, no luck yet. I can't understand why he's not responding. I'll try again. At the movie theater, Zack doesn't hear his communicator. Zordon tells the four teens, Alpha will continue to try and raise Zack. You four must go ahead and battle Goatan. Good luck Rangers. The four teens morph and teleport out. Red Ranger, Pink Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Blue Ranger face down Goatan. Goatan leaps over to them and strikes Red Ranger and Pink Ranger to the ground. Pink Ranger declares enough is enough and takes out her Power Bow. Goatan gloats, you have no power to match mine, puny Ranger. Go ahead and try it! Pink Ranger shoots several arrows at Goatan, but he bats them all away. Then Goatan takes out his own bow and arrow and shoots one arrow towards Pink Ranger. Pink Ranger fires her arrow towards Goatan. The two arrows hit each other in the sky. Goatan's arrow strikes Pink Ranger. Red Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Blue Ranger race over to make sure she is okay. Red Ranger declares, I'll teach that fur ball some manners. Red Ranger pulls out his Blade Blaster and fires it at Goatan. Goatan is hit and goes flying through the air. He lands by some logs. He picks one up. Red Ranger, Blue Ranger, and Yellow Ranger charge towards him. The three Rangers battle Goatan. Red Ranger uses his Power Sword, Blue Ranger his Power Lance, and Yellow Ranger her Power Daggers. Goatan manages to knock their weapons out of their hands. The Rangers go flying and land in a heap together. Goatan leaps into the air and fires lasers out of it's lion head's eyes. Red Ranger, Yellow Ranger, Blue Ranger, and Pink Ranger are hit. Goatan asks them if they have had enough and calls them pathetic weaklings. Goatan's goat mouth opens and sends out a red tornado that encased the four Rangers. The four Rangers are toss around and around in the tornado. Goatan gloats, nothing can save you now, Power Rangers. After awhile, Black Ranger arrives on top of a cliff with his Power Ax. Black Ranger is alarmed to see his fellow Rangers spinning around inside the tornado. Black Ranger fires the Power Ax at Goatan. Goatan is knocked back several feet. Goatan gets back up and notes Black Ranger has arrived. Black Ranger tells Goatan, he is one messed up looking cat. When the Power Ax struck Goatan, it freed Red Ranger, Pink Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Blue Ranger from the tornado. The four Rangers are very happy to see Black Ranger. Black Ranger tells Goatan, you are going to pay big time! For messing with my friends, and especially for messing up my date! Goatan tells him, he's all talk. Black Ranger replies, and you're all goat! Black Ranger leaps off the cliff and strikes Goatan with his Power Ax. Goatan is knocked to the ground. Black Ranger comments, that ought to change your mind Goatan. Both of them. Goatan grows to giant size. Goatan creates a blizzard. Black Ranger shouts, our problem just got bigger guys! Red Ranger and the rest of the Rangers summon their zords and quickly form Megazord in tank mode and then in battle mode. Goatan charges at the Megazord. Goatan and Megazord battle. Goatan lands a kick and a punch on Megazord. Goatan's goat head shoots out more snow and soon Megazord can't move it's arms or legs because it is covered in snow. Goatan laughs. Red Ranger tells the rest of the Rangers that the controls are frozen. Goatan has a hockey stick as he declares now for the icing on the cake. Goatan charges towards Megazord with the hockey stick. Black Ranger suggests they spin the Megazord. The Rangers do so and the snow comes off of Megazord and the controls are back to normal. The spinning Megazord makes Goatan dizzy. Megazord punches Goatan and sends him flying. Goatan lands on the ground hard, but gets back up. Black Ranger shouts, let's finish him off and summons the power sword. Red Ranger tells the rest of the Rangers, let's get the job done. Goatan charges towards Megazord once more. Megazord strikes Goatan with it's power sword and destroys Goatan. The Rangers cheer. After the battle, Jason and his friends return to the Command Center, Zordon congratulates them on a job well done. I regret your trophy was destroyed. Zack tells him, it's alright. We don't need a trophy to prove that we're winners. Alpha 5 adds, another happy ending. Zack suddenly realizes he's in trouble. Trini asks him what is wrong? Zack replies, speaking of happy endings, I left Angela sitting back at the theater! If I don't get back before the curtain goes down, it's going to be curtains for me. I'm out of here. See ya! Zack teleports out of the Command Center. Jason, Kimberly, Billy, and Trini laugh along with Alpha 5. Zack's date did not end well with Angela and he soon joined his friends at the Youth Center. Trini helps Ernie hang up a plant. A police officer enters with Bulk and Skull. The policeman wants to know if anybody can positively identified these two gentlemen. Jason suggests that they are the swamp creatures from the black lagoon. Kimberly and Trini giggle. Bulk pleads with them. Come on guys! It's us, your friends, Bulk and Skull. Billy admits that unfortunately they do know them. Skull remarks, that's more like it. The policemen releases Bulk and Skull. Bulk starts to squirm and squiggle around. Bulk bumps into the ladder, which causes Ernie to dump water from the watering can on him. Bulk reaches into his shirt and removes a small frog. Everyone laughs.

Jason, Zack, and Billy walked down the hall, towards the lockers where Trini and Kimberly stood waiting for them. Zack immediately notices their bummed expressions. Kimberly reminds them there is a huge science test on Monday. The guys are aware. Trini can't believe they are not worried. Jason tells them, Billy has come up with a great plan to make sure we all pass. Billy tells them he was thinking they should all go to his Uncle's resort in the mountains and spend the weekend studying. Zack adds if we stick together on this, it will be a breeze. Kimberly and Trini get excited over the idea. The next day, Jason and his friends are at Billy's Uncle's resort. Jason and his friends stay in the Forest Creek Cabins. Jason, Trini, and Kimberly are sprawled on the floor with various books and notes. Zack is sitting in a chair, while Billy props himself up on the bed. Billy reads to them a chapter from the science book. Zack is excited when they get to the end of chapter eight. Kimberly thinks this was such a great idea. All of us studying together. Billy agrees as he gets up and stretches. They have already made significant progress in preparing for the exam. Trini sits up and tells her friends, I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting hungry. How about taking a break and getting something to eat? It's a great idea. Jason adds he could use a big burger. As they head out, Trini suggests Chinese food. Kimberly tells them, she just wants a salad. Billy is thinking tacos. Zack suggests liver, which gets a negative response. After awhile, Jason, Zack, and Billy enter the cabin after saying bye to the girls. Zack tells Jason and Billy, he loves the fresh mountain air. Gives him energy to burn. Zack turns the radio on and starts dancing. Amused, Jason and Billy watch him. Zack removes his shoes and drops them at the floor by the bed, as he tells them to watch this move. Zack continues his dancing as he tells his friends, now check out this move. Zack jumps up and down on the bed. Zack jumps off the bed. Billy tells him, oh yeah, check out this move. Billy throws his pillow at Zack, who catches it. Zack quickly grabs his pillow and swings both pillows around. Before Zack can do anything, Jason throws his pillow at Zack. Zack throws one pillow back at Jason and the other at Billy. Jason and Billy get up and charge towards Zack with their pillows. A pillow fight breaks out among the three friends, and feathers fly everywhere. Eventually Jason, Zack, and Billy go to bed.
