ZACK

Page Fourteen

Zack, Jason, Billy, Kimberly, and Trini wake up and sit straight up in bed - very upset over the outcome of the nightmare.  The next morning, Zack, Jason, and Billy knock on the girls' cabin door.  Kimberly opens the door and they enter the room, looking as nervous.  Jason asks Trini and Kimberly if they had the same nightmare?  Kimberly replies, it was horrible.  Billy adds it was really disturbing.   Jason's communicator goes off and they all jump.  Kimberly panics.  Oh no!  Zordon!  Zack confesses that he is not ready for another one of Rita's monsters.  Trini adds, me neither.  Billy admits he doesn't think he ever will be.  The communicator continues to go off and eventually Jason answers it.  Zordon explains that Goldar had use the magic from the crystal of nightmares to make them lose their self confidence.  If they destroy the crystal, they will get their confidence back.  Zack and his friends are not happy about it, but they are teleported out of the cabin and close to the cave the crystal of nightmares is in.  Putties are guarding the entrance of the cave.  The Putties soon discovered Zack and his friends and the battle begins.  Zack and his friends do not do well against the Putties.  Jason manages to run into the cave and destroys the crystal of nightmares.  Zack, Trini, Kimberly, Billy, and Jason's self confidence returns.  This time Zack and his friends battle the Putties with ease and defeat them.  Goldar and Scorpina arrive.  Zack and his friends morph as Goldar and Scorpina (in monster form) grow to giant size.  Black Ranger and the rest of the Rangers summon their zords and Megazord is formed.  Megazord battles Goldar and Scorpina.  Eventually Goldar and Scorpina retreat.  The next day, Zack and his friends are in Miss Appleby's class.  She is out sick, so Mr. Caplan is taking the class.  Mr. Caplan passes out the tests, telling Zack and his friends they all got As.  Mr. Caplan calls Bulk and Skull to the front of the classroom and gives them their tests.  Skull gets excited because they didn't get Ds.  Instead they got Fs.  Mr. Caplan writes on the chalkboard that they will be in detention forever.  He shakes the eraser at Bulk and Skull.  Bulk sneezes and Mr. Caplan's toupee flies off, causing Zack and the rest of the class to laugh. 

 The Youth Center is going out of business.  To try and save the place, Zack walks around the Youth Center and rattles a can, asking customers to save the Youth Center.  Most of the young customers drop in some coins.  Zack appreciates each contribution and tells one customer, Ernie thanks you.  Zack pauses at the "Going Out of Business" sign and then joins Kimberly and Billy at the counter.  Zack tells them, that "Going Out of Business" sign is really depressing.  I can't believe this place is really closing down.  Kimberly adds, we had a lot of really great times here.  Trini walks in with her own can and joins her friends.  Trini asks Billy, how's it going with Ernie's books?  Billy had been working on the computer, trying to help Ernie.  Billy doesn't have good news.  From the looks of these reports, Ernie's last quarter operating expenses far exceeded his revenues.  Kimberly doesn't understand and simply says, Trini?  Trini tells her, he's broke.  Trini asks Zack, how much do we have in donations?  Zack replies, about enough for a burger and shake.  It is very obvious that Ernie is upset as he tries to work.  Kimberly tells her friends, poor Ernie.  I have never seen him so bummed out.  Jason walks in and joins his friends.  In his arms is a dog.  Kimberly immediately gets up to pet the dog.  Jason asks, how's Ernie?  Trini replies, not too good.  Zack wants to know where Jason got the dog.  Kimberly thinks the dog is adorable.  Jason tells them, he followed me here after school.  He looked kind of lost, so I brought him in.  A few moments later, Ernie brings over a bowl of water for the dog.  Ernie tells the teens, I feel bad for the little guy.  Being away from home and everything.  My problems don't seem so terrible all of a sudden.  Ernie walks away.  Trini tells her friends, Ernie is so sweet.  We can't let the Juice Bar go out of business.  Kimberly tells her she is right.  Guys, there's got to be something we can do.  The dog starts barking and whimpering.  Jason asks the dog if it's okay.  Zack comments, it probably has to go to the little puppies' room.  They all laugh.  Jason thinks Zack is right.  I should take him for a walk in the park.  Kimberly tells Jason, she will go with him.  It's on her way home.  Kimberly and Jason head out with the dog.  Later, Zack and his friends are summon to the Command Center.  Kimberly stands next to Jason as Alpha 5 declares that is one heavy duty rash!  My epidural scanner is going haywire!  Trini asks Zordon, what could it be?  Zordon replies, I'm afraid it's quite serious Rangers.  Rita has finally hatched her evil Fighting Flea.  Jason is agitated, man I should have known that Rita was behind this.  Kimberly comments that she must have planted it on Jason's dog somehow.  Zordon agrees.  And as you discovered the flea's bite is extremely contiguous.  Be careful, not only will the itch spread all over Jason, but also to anyone who touches the rash.  Trini asks if there is anything they can do?  Zordon informs them, this spray will temporally stop the itching.  However, any contact with Rita's monster will immediately neutralized the formula's power.  Billy walks over to the control panel and picks up Alpha 5's scanner.  He tells them, I'm going to take the data in Alpha's scanner back to my lab.  Perhaps I can come up with a permanent antidote.  Zordon thinks that's an excellent idea.  Jason tells Zordon he wants to go back to the park.  I got to find that dog.  Alpha 5 tells Jason, no, it's too dangerous.  Wait until Billy finds the antidote.  Zack agrees.  Rita could be waiting for you.  Jason holds out his arm and tells them, look, someone else could pet that dog and the same thing could happen to them.  It would be my fault.  Kimberly decides she is going with Jason.  Trini tells them that she and Zack will check around back at the Juice Bar.  Zordon warns them to be careful and stay in close contact at all times.  Zack, Billy, Kimberly, Jason, and Trini teleport out.  Zack and Trini enter the Juice Bar and immediately spot the dog.  Ernie is standing next to the dog as Zack and Trini walk up.  The dog is eating out of a bowl.  Trini asks Ernie, what is he doing here?  Ernie replies, I guess he really loves my chili.  You know, I wish I had more loyal customers like him.  Ernie walks away.  Moments later, Trini's communicator goes off.  Zack and Trini look around and walk over to the locker area.  Trini responds, Trini here Zordon.  Zordon tells them, Jason and Kimberly are in trouble.  You must morph immediately.   Zack states, it's morphin' time!  Zack and Trini morph and teleport out.  Black Ranger and Yellow Ranger arrive at the junkyard where Red Ranger and Pink Ranger are.  Blue Ranger arrives as well with the antidote, which he immediately uses on Red Ranger.  The antidote works, which makes Fighting Flea very angry.  Black Ranger and the rest of the Rangers battle and defeat Fighting Flea.  Within moments, Fighting Flea is giant size.  Black Ranger and the rest of the Rangers summon their zords and form the Megazord.  The battle continues with Fighting Flea.  Eventually the Rangers call for the power sword.  When the power sword arrives, Megazord strikes Fighting Flea with it and destroys it.  After the battle, Zack and his friends return to the Juice Bar.  A woman enters the Juice Bar happy to see her dog.  She asks which of them found her dog?  Kimberly tells her the person she should really thank is Ernie.  The woman gives Ernie a large check, thanks him, and walks out with her dog.  Zack and Trini happily take down the going out of business sign.  Ernie offers sodas and pizza on the house.  Zack and his friends get excited.  Bulk and Skull walk in and it is obvious that they are miserable and scratching like crazy.  Zack and his friends walk over to their table.  Jason asks them if they want to stop itching?  Bulk is immediately ready.  Billy and Jason place dog collars around Bulk and Skull's necks.  Bulk and Skull are not happy about the collars and less happy when they find out they have to wear them for a week.  Zack and his friends laugh.

 

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

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

Angel Grove High School was hosting Parents Day at the Youth Center.  The place was packed with students, parents, and teachers.  Zack is hanging out with his parents.  Skull is walking around filming the event.  He runs into Zack and his parents, Mr. & Mrs. Taylor.  Mrs. Taylor enjoys being filmed, but both Zack and his dad do not.  Mr. Taylor glares at the camera and Zack tells Skull, the show is over.  Skull takes the hint and walks to over to the food table to film the eats.  Later, Zack and Jason are talking when Jason's communicator goes off.  Looking cautiously around, Zack and Jason walk over to the locker area.  Jason responds, we read you Zordon.  Zordon informs them, right outside the Youth Center, Kimberly and Trini have been attacked by Putties.  They need your help.  Jason lets Zordon know that Billy is not with them, but Zack and I are on our way.  Zordon tells them that Alpha will contact Billy.  Hurry!  Zack and Jason race out of the Youth Center and they are not happy to see the Putties fighting Kimberly and Trini.  Jason comments, the Putties are really getting on my nerves.  Zack and Jason quickly join the fight against the Putties.  Kimberly continues to fight several Putties.  Jason fights another batch of Putties.  Trini fights yet another batch of Putties.  Suddenly the Putties vanish.  Zack, Trini, Jason, and Kimberly gather together.  Trini asks, what's Rita up to this time?  Kimberly answers, one word, trouble.  Kimberly is anxious to get back inside and see her parents.  Zack comments this is all getting too strange for me.  Zack, Jason, Trini, and Kimberly hurry inside.  Jason hopes their parents didn't see anything.  Zack, Kimberly, Jason, and Trini enter the Youth Center and immediately become concern.  The place is empty and a bit of a mess.  Jason asks, what's going on?  Trini wonders how a room full of people just disappear into thin air?  Zack can think of a few possibilities and he doesn't like any of them.  Kimberly spots a scarf on the floor and walks over to it.  Kimberly picks up the pink scarf and tells her friends, this is my mom's scarf.  I gave it to her for her birthday.  Zack asks, what's happened to our parents?    Jason tells his friends they need to stay calm.  I'll contact Zordon.  Kimberly hurries over to her friends.  Jason contacts Zordon and tells him something terrible has happened.  Can you tell us what's going on?  Zordon tells them, I am aware of the situation.  Teleport to the Command Center immediately.  Zack, Jason, Kimberly, and Trini teleport out of the Youth Center and into the Command Center and immediately bombard Zordon with questions.  Jason asks, where are our parents?  Kimberly asks, are they alright?  Trini asks, what is Rita up to now?  Zack asks, what can we do?  Zordon instructs them to calm down.  My sensors tell me your parents are safe for now.  This upsets Kimberly.  For now?  What do you mean for now?  For how long?  Zordon replies, for the time being.  It's all I can tell you at this point.  Jason becomes upset as well, but tries to keep his composure.  Trini asks, where's Billy?  Zordon replies, I'm afraid Billy has fallen prey to the Dramole monster that Rita used to kidnap your parents.  While under the influence of the monster's noxious gas, he came here, deactivated Alpha and stole the Dragon Dagger.  Trini thinks she can reactivate Alpha.  Trini gets to work and soon Alpha 5 is reactivated.  Kimberly asks if Billy is alright?  Zordon informs them that Billy has been engulfed in the gas of the dangerous Dramole monster, which has allowed Rita to control his mind.  Jason asks, what exactly is a Dramole monster.  Zordon instructs the four teens to observe the viewing globe.  Zack, Kimberly, Trini, and Jason walk over to the viewing globe and it shows an image of the Dramole monster.  Zack warns, if he hurts our parents!  Kimberly can't believe this is happening.  Jason asks Zordon, what is Rita up to this time?  Zordon replies, destruction using the Dragonzord.  You must reclaim the Dragon Dagger.  Jason comments, if we don't, there will be no more Angel Grove.  Trini asks Zordon, where's Billy now?  Zordon informs them, Billy has taken the Dragon Dagger to Rita's dark dimension.  You must find him and try and stop him before it's too late.  I'll keep trying to locate your parents.  Zack, Jason, Kimberly, and Trini morph and teleport 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!  Black Ranger, Pink Ranger, and Yellow 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.  Zack, Trini, 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.  Zack,  Jason, Kimberly, Trini, and Billy 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.  Zack and his friends are teleported back 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.  Zack, Trini, Jason, Kimberly, Billy, 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.  Zack, Trini, Jason, Kimberly,  and Billy 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.  Zack, Trini, Jason, Kimberly, Billy, 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.  Zack, Trini, Jason, Kimberly, and Billy 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!  Zack, Trini, Jason, Kimberly, and Billy 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 Black Ranger, Yellow Ranger, Red Ranger, and Blue 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.  Black Ranger, Yellow Ranger, Red Ranger, and Blue Ranger go after Pink Ranger.  Pink Ranger tries to outmaneuver them, but she is soon caught.  Black Ranger and Blue 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.  Black Ranger summons Mastodon as the rest of the Rangers summon their zords as well.  The battle continues until eventually Dramole is destroyed by Ultrazord.  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.  Zack and his friends return to the Youth Center.  Zack walks up to his parents and tells his mom how pretty she looks, which embarrasses her.  After awhile, a food fight breaks out.  Zack, Trini, Jason, Kimberly, Tommy, and Billy 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.  After school and still feeling down, Billy removes his books from his locker.  When he turns around, his friends are standing there.  They can all see that Billy is still upset.  Zack tells Billy not to take it so hard.  Kimberly reminds Billy that you tried hard and did your best.  Jason suggests they go to the park and shoot a few baskets to clear his mind.  Billy declines.  I appreciate your efforts, but acceptance into the Young Scientists club is very important to me.  I better study.  Trini volunteers to stay behind and help quiz Billy.  Billy appreciates the offer.  Zack, Kimberly, and Jason head off to the park as Billy and Trini leave for the Youth Center.  At the park, Zack, Kimberly, and Jason enjoy their game of basketball.  After awhile, they head towards a picnic table.  Jason wonders how Tommy is doing at his karate tournament.  Kimberly is confident that Tommy is going to blow the competition away.  He was really prepared.  They reach the picnic table and Kimberly sits on the table as the guys stand.  Zack tells his friends, speaking of being prepared, I hope Billy doesn't get too tired from all that studying.  Kimberly adds getting a B on a test is nothing to be ashamed of.  Zack agrees.   After awhile, Zack, Jason, and Kimberly have gone back to playing basketball when the Putties appear.  Jason tells his friends, spread out, lets take them!  Zack fights a batch of Putties.  Zack grabs the basketball off the grass and uses it to fight the Putties, before tossing it over to Jason.  Jason also fights his group of Putties with the basketball, eventually tossing it to Kimberly.  Kimberly uses the basketball to her advantage as she fights another batch of Putties.  Suddenly Goldar and several more Putties appear.  Goldar tells them, you think you're pretty smart Power Rangers, but trust me, your lessons have just begun!  Goldar tosses a golden rope onto the ground.  The Putties pick it up and carry it, as the rest of Putties manage to corral Zack, Jason, and Kimberly together.  The Putties wrap the rope around the teens several times.  Zack, Jason, and Kimberly struggle to break free.  Goldar informs them that this magic rope will keep you behind a powerful force field Rangers and out of our way.  Enjoy the class so far?!  Jason shouts, you're not going to get away with this!  Goldar replies, I already have!  You failed this test Power Rangers!  Goldar laughs.  The Putties return to Goldar.  Goldar tells them, they have meet their match this time.  Rita's Grumble Bee will destroy the world!  Goldar and the Putties vanish.  Zack, Jason, and Kimberly struggle to free themselves.  A few moments later, Jason's communicator goes off, but none of them get reach it, which makes the three teens more frustrated and angry.  Zack notes, we can't even teleport out of this force field.  Kimberly asks, what are we going to do?  Zack and Jason don't have an answer for her.  After awhile, Trini and Billy arrive at the park and quickly run over to their friends.  When they touch the rope, they receive an electric shock.  Kimberly pleads with them to hurry.  Zack tells them they got to do something.  Billy's communicator goes off.  Billy tells Zordon, we can't get them free.  Zordon informs them, the situation has gotten worse.  You and Trini must morph and battle the Grumble Bee again.  Trini asks, how can we leave them?  Jason tells them they have to go.  You and Billy have to stop the monster. Now!  Billy agrees.  We'll do our best.  Trini and Billy morph and teleport away.  At the Command Center, Alpha 5 worked hard to free the three teens from the force field.  Eventually the rope falls to the ground.  Jason exclaims, we're free!  Zack and Kimberly grin.  Jason's communicator goes off.  Zordon tells them, hopefully Alpha has freed you in time.  You must morph at once to help Trini and Billy.  Jason tells Zack and Kimberly, let's give Rita one of her own lessons.  Zack, Jason, and Kimberly morph and teleport away.  The three Rangers arrive.  Black Ranger and Red Ranger immediately land a kick that knocks Grumble Bee off his feet.  Black Ranger and Red Ranger stand protectively in front of Blue Ranger and Yellow Ranger.  Pink Ranger is kneeling by Blue Ranger, making sure he is okay.  Red Ranger tells them, don't worry guys.  We're here now.  Grumble Bee gets back up and summons several Putties.  Black Ranger, Red Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Pink Ranger charge towards the Putties, as the Putties charge towards them.  Red Ranger fights a batch of Putties.  Black Ranger leaps through the air and hooks one Putty with his feet and the other with his arms.  Black Ranger flips both of them away.  Yellow Ranger fights another group of Putties.  Pink Ranger battles yet another batch of Putties.  Eventually the Putties are defeated.  Grumble Bee tells the Rangers they are a pain in his wings.  Black Ranger, Yellow Ranger, Red Ranger, and Pink Ranger face down Grumble Bee.  Red Ranger tells Grumble Bee, you're through!  Grumble Bee shoots them with his sonic pulses of energy.  The four Rangers are hit hard and are knocked to the ground, clutching their helmet.  Black Ranger exclaims, I can't take much more of this!  Grumble Bee laughs.  Blue Ranger races over to the fallen Rangers, and tells them to hang on.  The effect will wear off just like the venom did.  Blue Ranger yells at Grumble Bee, you're going to pay for this!  Grumble Bee mockingly responds, I'm shaking!  Alpha 5 teleports a weapon to Blue Ranger.  The weapon appears in Blue Ranger's hands.  Blue Ranger thanks Alpha.  Blue Ranger knows just what to do.  Blue Ranger points the weapon at Grumble Bee as he tells him, here is lesson number one.  Grumble Bee shouts, no you don't!  Blue Ranger fires the weapon.  A glue like substance sprayed out and covered Grumble Bee.  Grumble Bee screamed, stop it!  The rest of the Rangers gathered around Blue Ranger and cheer for him.  Grumble Bee begins to shake off the substance and Blue Ranger notes Grumble Bee is becoming unglued.  Red Ranger declares, I'll put him down.  Red Ranger leaps into the air with his Power Sword and strikes Grumble Bee hard, knocking him to the ground.  Moments later, Grumble Bee grows to giant size.  The Rangers quickly summon their zords and form the Megazord.  Red Ranger tells the rest of the Rangers, let's kick this bug head!  Grumble Bee releases several of his stingers and they strike Megazord hard.  Red Ranger declare they are going to need more power and the Megazord goes into battle mode.  Grumble Bee charges towards the Megazord.  Megazord heads towards Grumble Bee.  Megazord and Grumble Bee fight.  Megazord lands a hard punch on Grumble Bee.  Grumble Bee blocks a kick.  Megazord tries to strike Grumble Bee again, but misses.  Megazord tries again and this time hits Grumble Bee hard enough to knock him off his feet.  Grumble Bee quickly gets back up and releases more stingers.  The stingers hit Megazord several times and Megazord takes a few steps back.  Red Ranger tells the rest of the Rangers, they need to get in a little closer.  Megazord heads towards Grumble Bee.  Grumble Bee leaps into the air and lands a hard kick on Megazord.  Megazord almost falls.  Grumble Bee release his sonic pulses of energy.  Megazord can barely move.  Black Ranger tells Red Ranger, we got to back down.  Grumble Bee continues his assault of sonic pulses of energy towards Megazord.  Megazord continues to fight Grumble Bee, eventually destroying him.  The following day, Zack and Jason spar at the Youth Center.  Soon Tommy walks in with good news about his karate tournament, but feels bad that he wasn't there to help his friends.  They all reassured him that it was okay and he needs to save his strength.  Moments later, Billy walks in with good news as well.  He made it into the Young Scientists of America club.  Zack and the rest are very happy for him.
