At Angel Grove park, Jason, Tommy, and Kimberly are cleaning up with several other teens.   After awhile, a camera man arrives and starts interviewing Tommy.  Zedd's Putties arrive and everyone starts running.  Jason, Kimberly, and Tommy begin to fight the Putties, unaware that the camera left behind, is recording.   Soon, Octophantom appears.  Jason, Tommy, and Kimberly morph.  Green Ranger fights several Putties.  The camera is still recording.  Red Ranger fights a batch of Putties as Pink Ranger fights another set of Putties. Octophantom points his jar towards Green Ranger and opens it.  Red Ranger and Pink Ranger try to help, but they are too late.  Red Ranger and Pink Ranger contact Alpha 5 and tell him to contact the others and have them meet in the Command Center.   Jason, Trini, Zack, Billy, and Kimberly are at the Command Center.  Kimberly tells Zordon, we got to do something to get Tommy back.  Zordon instructs Alpha 5 to access all the available data on the monster.  See if you can come up with any solutions.  Alpha 5 gets started right away as Kimberly peers over his shoulder.  After awhile, using the information gathered, Billy has come to the conclusion that the monster is a combination of an elephant and an octopus.  Zack notes, that must mean he is incredibly strong.  Jason adds it's going to take a lot to beat this one.  Trini asks Billy if he has be able to locate Tommy?  Billy responds, negative.  The alarms go off in the Command Center.  Zordon informs the teens that the Octophantom has just landed in West Union park.  Kimberly asks, does he have Tommy with him?  The teens and Alpha hurry over to the viewing globe, where images of Octophantom are being shown.  Zordon replies, I'm afraid not.  Billy notes the park is so far away from everything.  What's he doing there?  Zordon responds, I believe Lord Zedd's monster has been sent to vandalize the park in an attempt to lure you Rangers out into the open.  Trini becomes alarm when she notes Octophantom is ruining the Pacific Heritage monuments.  Zordon warns the teens, use caution Power Rangers.  His purpose is to capture you, just as he did Tommy.  Jason, Kimberly, Billy, Trini, and Zack morph and teleport out.  Red Ranger, Pink Ranger, Blue Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Black Ranger arrive at the park and simultaneously punch Octophantom.  Octophantom quickly knocks them away.  As the Rangers get back up, Octophantom greets them.  Red Ranger asks, where's Tommy?  Octophantom replies, right where you five are going.  Octophantom blasts the five Rangers with his hands.  Octophantom then shoots starfish at the Rangers.  The starfish attached themselves to the Rangers and erupted in explosions, knocking the Rangers off their feet once more.  The Rangers struggle as they get back up.  Black Ranger tells Red Ranger, come on Jason!  We can take this guy!  Red Ranger agrees and shouts, lets!  Red Ranger, Pink Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Black Ranger charge towards Octophantom.  Blue Ranger is more cautious and shouts at them to wait.  It's a trap!  Red Ranger, Black Ranger, Pink Ranger, and Yellow Ranger fight Octophantom.    Red Ranger lands several kicks on Octophantom.  Yellow Ranger takes out her Blade Blaster and fights Octophantom with it.  Pink Ranger also uses her Blade Blaster as she joins Yellow Ranger in fighting Octophantom.  Octophantom soon knocks the two Rangers to the ground.  Red Ranger and Black Ranger leap into the air and try to land a kick on Octophantom.  Instead, he tosses them onto the pavement.  Octophantom gloats, you're no match for me.  Prepare to meet your fate.  Blue Ranger calls out another warning, Jason, watch out!  Octophantom tells them, it's time to meet your friend, the Green Ranger.  As you donate your powers to the...Octophantom becomes distracted by his reflection on the back of a metal monument.  He notes, I've never noticed what a handsome fella I am.  Those lips, those eyes.  Not bad, if I do say so myself.  Octophantom turns away from his reflection as he states, okay back to business.  Octophantom takes out his jar and asks, who wants to be the first one to join the Green Ranger in this jar?  Red Ranger replies, none of us creep!  Octophantom decides to take all of them at once.  He points his jar at the four Rangers.  Red Ranger manages to leap away but Yellow Ranger, Black Ranger, and Pink Ranger are sucked into the jar.  Octophantom gloats, four down!  Two to go!  Red Ranger threatens, you won't get away with this!  Octophantom very confidently asks, who's going to stop me?  You?  If you want to join me, meet me at the quarry!  Octophantom vanishes.  Blue Ranger suggests they get back to the Command Center.  Blue Ranger mutters, there's got to be a way to stop that thing. At the Command Center, Alpha 5 is in a panic.  What are we going to do?!  Billy tells them, I've discovered the monster's weakness.  He's extremely vain.  Jason tells him, good work.  Billy suggests they build a device to exploit his vanity and stop him.  Jason likes the idea.  Excellent, but we can't wait.  I'm going to go ahead and you catch up.  Billy agrees.  Zordon wishes Jason good luck and may the power protect you.  Jason teleports out.  Billy gets to work. Red Ranger runs as he searches for Octophantom.  He pauses at the bottom of a gravel pit and shouts, alright ugly!  Where are you?!  With a flash of lightening, Octophantom appears.  Octophantom notes, so you decided to come.  Big mistake.  Red Ranger shouts, where are my friends?!  I want to see them now!  Octophantom concludes that he is being rude and points above them, where the four Rangers are tied to poles.  Red Ranger yells, are you guys alright?!  Yellow Ranger responds, we're okay.  Black Ranger adds, I'm not too sure about Tommy.  Green Ranger tells them I'm alright, just get this guy!  Pink Ranger urges Red Ranger to hurry.  Lord Zedd is trying to put us under a spell!  Octophantom lets them know that the power transfer is almost over.  It looks like you're all alone now!  Red Ranger responds, I am be standing here alone, but my friends are still with me in spirit.  Red Ranger clenches his hand into a fist.  Suddenly Octophantom leaps into the air and lands a punch on Red Ranger, knocking him to the ground.  Red Ranger quickly gets back up.  Red Ranger and Octophantom fight.  Octophantom kicks Red Ranger several times and tosses him through the air.  Red Ranger lands hard on his back.  Octophantom tells him the time has come for you to join your friends and surrender your power to Lord Zedd.  Red Ranger is determined not to let Octophantom get him.  Octophantom tells Red Ranger to hold very still as he points his jar towards him.  Red Ranger screams Billy, where are you?!  Suddenly the Power Lance flies through the air and strikes Octophantom, causing him to drop the jar.  Octophantom is confused.  Where did he come from?  Blue Ranger has the device and yells for Red Ranger to come over.  Red Ranger races over as he tells him good job.  Octophantom shouts, hey that's cheating!  Blue Ranger tells Red Ranger I got here as soon as I could.  Red Ranger tells him, you saved my skin man.  Thanks.  Blue Ranger replies, any time.  I built the shield with a mirror in it.  Get close and open the mirror.  As he stops to watch himself, you'll have the upper hand.  Blue Ranger passes Red Ranger the shield.  Red Ranger thinks this will do the trick.  Great work.  Blue Ranger responds, just doing what I do best.  Red Ranger tells him, I'll keep this guy busy.  You go up and free the others.  Several of Lord Zedd's Putties are guarding the four Rangers above them.  Octophantom shoots lasers out of his eyes at Red Ranger and Blue Ranger.  They both leap out of the way.  Red Ranger asks Blue Ranger, ready?  Blue Ranger responds, as I'll ever be.  Red Ranger shouts, let's do it!  Red Ranger leaps towards Octophantom with the shield.  Red Ranger lands a kick on Octophantom.  Red Ranger and Octophantom fight.  Octophantom lands a hard punch, that knocks Red Ranger to the ground.  Octophantom gloats, you think that pathetic little shield is going to protect you?!  You're wrong!  There's no match for me.  Octophantom shoots lasers out of it's eyes at Red Ranger.  The lasers dragged Red Ranger towards Octophantom.  Explosions take place around Red Ranger.  Blue Ranger leaps above to where the four Rangers are.  Octophantom laughs as he states, I told you Red Ranger, you're not going to win this time.  Octophantom walks towards the fallen Red Ranger as he states, I have you now!  Red Ranger notes, I've got to get this shield into position.  Octophantom is about to strike Red Ranger with his weapon, when Red Ranger opens the shield.  Octophantom is distracted by his handsome reflection.  He even tosses aside his weapon as he glazes into the mirror and goes into raptures about his looks.  Red Ranger is thrilled that it worked.  Red Ranger rolls to a kneeling position and fires his Blade Blaster at Octophantom.  Octophantom is knocked to the ground.  Blue Ranger frees the four Rangers and sends Green Ranger back to the Command Center.  Blue Ranger shouts, Jason!  Everyone is free!  Red Ranger is very happy!  Way to go Billy!  The rest of the Rangers join Red Ranger as Octophantom tries to stand back up.  Blue Ranger asks Red Ranger if he is okay?  Red Ranger replies, yeah, good work.  Octophantom gets back up and shouts, I've had it with you Power Brats!  Red Ranger shouts, let's get this job done!  The Rangers have their power weapons at the ready.  Lord Zedd throws down his grow bomb.  Octophantom catches the bomb and grows to giant size.  The five Rangers summon their thunder zords.  The thunder zords arrive and Thunder Megazord is formed.  Mockingly Octophantom pretends to be scared.  Maybe I should run away.  Octophantom laughs and then runs towards Thunder Megazord.  Thunder Megazord lands a hard punch on Octophantom.  Octophantom is upset.  Hey, watch the trunk!  Octophantom punches Thunder Megazord.  Thunder Megazord takes several steps back.  Thunder Megazord pulls out it's sword and strikes Octophantom with it.  Octophantom screams at them to watch the trunk!  Octophantom tells them, since you won't play fair, I'm just going to have to finish you off.  Octophantom runs towards Thunder Megazord and punches Thunder Megazord once more.  Octophantom taunts Thunder Megazord.  Thunder Megazord powers up it's sword and knocks Octophantom off it's feet.  Octophantom staggers back up on it's feet.  Thunder Megazord strikes Octophantom with it's sword and Octophantom is destroyed.  Afterwards, at the Youth Center, everyone is enjoying the refreshments set out.  Jason tells Billy, that was good work you did earlier today.  Billy responds, thanks Jase, you weren't so bad yourself.  Zack walks over to Jason, Billy, and Kimberly and has them follow him.  Zack stops where Trini is standing.  In a quiet voice, Zack asks, how's Tommy?  Kimberly replies, well his powers are getting really weak but I think he will be okay.  Trini lays a sympathetic hand on Kimberly.  Jason notes Bulk and Skull's gleeful entrance and points it out to his friends.  Bulk shouts, proof!  We got the proof.  Skull holds a tape high.  Bulk is so happy he is snapping his fingers.  Jason, Billy, Trini, Zack, and Kimberly become concern.  Zack comments, I bet I know what these guys are up to.  Bulk and Skull walk over to the VHS machine and Bulk presses a few buttons.  Jason, Billy, Trini, Zack, and Kimberly walk over.  Zack asks, hey guys, what do you got there?  Skull replies, our ticket to fame.  Skull points the tape in their direction and Bulk quickly takes the tape.  Bulk continues, we are about to show the world who the Power Rangers really are.  A large crowd of kids have gather behind Bulk and Skull.  Trini asks, what?  Skull snatches the tape back from Bulk.  Skull responds, see this tape was in the news camera when the putty patrol attacked.  Bulk takes the tape back and continues.  If I'm right, the Power Rangers showed up to clear out the Putties.  And we've got the proof.  Right here on tape.  Bulk is about to place the tape into the VCR when  Jason places his hand in front of the slot, blocking the tape.  Jason tells Bulk, maybe you don't want to watch that just yet.  Bulk stands back up and asks, why not?  Zack quickly grabs the tape and answers, well because it's not labeled yet.  Bulk asks, what's the big idea?  Billy grabs a tape from the stand and Zack and Billy exchange the tapes.  Jason tells Bulk, chill out.  He's just putting a label on it.  Bulk and Skull exchange glances as Kimberly adds, yeah, you wouldn't want to lose something so important, right?  Zack gives the "tape" back, stating here you go.  All labeled and ready.  Skull grabs the tape and gives it to Bulk.  Bulk tells Skull, let's make history.  The guys pound their chest before placing the tape into the VCR.  Instead of the recording at the park, the tape is playing a cartoon.  Bulk is upset.  Hey!  Where are the Power Rangers?!  Skull tells Bulk to hang on.  I really like this part.  The teens turn away from Bulk and Skull.  Trini asks Zack, how did you do that?  Zack responds, well like I always say, the hand is quicker than the eye.  Zack and Trini high five each other.  Jason adds, especially when you switch tapes with Billy.  Billy points to his shirt as he tells them that's where the tape is.  I'll take it home later and put it in my tape eraser, thus eliminating the evidence.  Bulk is still upset.  I was going to be famous.  I was going to be rich.  I was going to be...Skull yells at him.  Bulkie!  Could you please hold it down!  I'm trying to watch the show!  Bulk face palms as Jason, Trini, Zack, Kimberly, and Billy laugh.

Jason, Billy, Zack, and Tommy are at the Youth Center.  They are watching Ernie play a game with a ball and a broom.  Ernie walks over and explains he is playing broomball and is starting a tournament.  Ernie asks the guys if they would like to play, and the guys are very reluctant.  Two teens from Stone Canyon walk in and ask Ernie if they can put up posters for their team.  Everyone wants to see them play.  They also ask Ernie if he's gotten a team to play against them.  The Stone Canyon teens are very confident and the guys are unable to resist the challenge and decide to play against them.  The Stone Canyon teens reveal that they are the champions and the guys realized they have to start practicing.  After awhile, the guys, plus Kimberly start practicing for the match against Stone Canyon.  Sitting on the sidelines, Trini films her friends.  As the teens practice, the ball goes out of bounds.  A teen picks up the ball and walks over.  Trini is immediately smitten with the young man.  Kimberly tells Trini that he is a new student and is very nice.  The young man gives the ball to Ernie and Ernie introduces Richie to Kimberly and Trini.  Trini immediately offers him a position on the team.  Ernie tells them that he has enough players, but he could use an assistant coach, which Richie accepts.  After practice, Jason, Billy, Trini, and Zack put up their poster of their team next to Stone Canyon's poster.  Trini thinks their poster looks better and Zack agrees.  Billy points to the poster and comments he thought there was a creature on the poster before.  Trini agrees, there was a beetle before.  They exchange puzzled looks.  A few moments later, Jason's communicator goes off.  Billy, Trini, and Zack gather around Jason. Zordon tells them Kimberly and Tommy have been attacked by one of Zedd's monsters.  Jason responds, read you.  Jason, Billy, Zack, and Trini morph. They head to the park, where they immediately began fighting the Putties.  Green Ranger is very weak.  Stag Beetle declares, your power now belongs to Lord Zedd!  Stag Beetle and the Putties vanish.  Green Ranger is soon surrounded by his friends.  Green Ranger tells them he feels completely wiped out.  Red Ranger states, we're taking you to the Command Center now!  Zordon asks Billy, what is your analysissis of Tommy's condition?  Billy responds, physically, he's okay.  Tommy adds I feel fine.  Just weak.  I don't really remember what happened.  Kimberly states, well, when the beetle attacked us, it was definitely targeting Tommy.  Zordon concludes, that must be Zedd's plan.  We must learn exactly what the Stag Beetle has done to him.  Billy walks over to a console and pulls out the computer printout.  Billy tells them, this readout indicates that Tommy has been stripped of his  Power Ranger energies.  Alpha 5 becomes alarmed.  Zordon warns the teens to be careful.  If the beetle has stolen Tommy's powers, it can do the same to any of you.  As long as it controls the green energy, it is extremely powerful.  Trini asks, what can we do?  Billy has an idea.  Perhaps Alpha can construct a green energy device that will recapture Tommy's power.   Although that would take some time.  Zordon thinks it's an excellent suggestion.  Alpha 5 tells them he'll get right on it.  The alarms go off in the Command Center.  Zordon informs them, the beetle has reappeared near Angel Grove.  Jason is ready to get him.  Zordon reminds them, the Stag Beetle must not be destroyed until we recover Tommy's powers.  Zack confirms, okay, we're on it.  Kimberly tells Tommy to hang in there.  We'll get your powers back for you.  Jason, Billy, Kimberly, Trini, and Zack teleport out. The Rangers arrive and Stag Beetle asks, didn't you learn anything from your green friend?  Now it's your turn!  Red Ranger, Blue Ranger, Yellow Ranger, Black Ranger, and Pink Ranger pull out their Blade Blasters and charge towards Stag Beetle.  The five Rangers fight Stag Beetle with their Blade Blasters.  Stag Beetle strikes the Rangers back.  He soon has them all knocked away.  The Rangers gather together as Black Ranger states, I hate bugs!  Stag Beetle tells them they are finished!  Black Ranger tells his team, wait here guys!  I'll squash that bug brain!  Black Ranger leaps over to Stag Beetle.  But before Black Ranger can strike, Stag Beetle knocks him out of the air.  Black Ranger lands hard on his back.  Stag Beetle laughs.  Stag Beetle tells Black Ranger, you're no match for me, foolish Ranger.  Black Ranger, with his Blade Blaster, fights Stag Beetle.  Stag Beetle manages to grab a hold of Black Ranger and tosses him aside.  Black Ranger lands on his back once more.  The rest of the Rangers gather around him.  Red Ranger asks if he is okay?  Black Ranger replies yeah.  The four Rangers form a protective circle around Black Ranger and have their Blade Blasters pointed towards Stag Beetle.  Stag Beetle asks, how about a little Green Ranger power?  Stag Beetle blasts the Rangers with Green Ranger's power.  The Rangers are hit hard and knocked off their feet.  They land on the ground and roll down a hill.  Stag Beetle laughs.  When they hit the bottom, Red Ranger tells them, we have to catch him, to get Tommy's powers back.  Red Ranger shouts, attack!  Pink Ranger and Black Ranger leap into the air with their Blade Blasters.  As does Red Ranger, Blue Ranger, and Yellow Ranger.  They strike Stag Beetle simultaneously, but once more Stag Beetle knocks them aside.  Stag Beetle asks, want to play ball.  Stag Beetle generates electrical currents out of his pinchers and it forms a ball.  Stag Beetle tosses the ball towards the Rangers.  The Rangers are hit hard.  Several Putties arrive, and Stag Beetle tells them, let's finish them off!  Red Ranger, Blue Ranger, Pink Ranger, Black Ranger, and Yellow Ranger struggle to get back up.  Red Ranger grunts out, this guy's tough.  Stag Beetle asks, what's the matter?  Something bugging you?  Stag Beetle laughs.  The Rangers stumble back up and Red Ranger tells the team, I'll distract him, while you attack.  Black Ranger tells him, no.  He's too strong.  He's using Tommy's powers against us.  Yellow Ranger adds, we got to get out of the open and find some cover.  Red Ranger agrees.  We'll find a spot where we can fight him on our terms.  Red Ranger takes off running, as he shouts, let's go!  The rest of the Rangers hesitates.  Blue Ranger shouts wait a minute!  Black Ranger shouts, Jason, hold up!  Shouldn't we be going the other way?!  Reluctantly the rest of the Rangers follow.  Stag Beetle thinks the Rangers are running away.  He tells the Putties to go after them.  The Rangers continue to run as explosions hit behind them.  The Rangers end up on top of a hill and Black Ranger notes, it's the end of the road.  The Rangers turn around and see Stag Beetle and the Putties.  Stag Beetle asks, what's the matter Power Rangers?  No where to run?  Red Ranger replies, we're not afraid to fight you.  Stag Beetle states, maybe a blast of Green Ranger power will change your mind.  Red Ranger shouts back, give it your best shot!  Black Ranger warns, it will blow us right off the edge.  Green Ranger arrives a few feet away.  Green Ranger shouts at the Rangers to duck as he aims the device at Stag Beetle.  Stag Beetle pays no attention and begins to fire the Green Ranger power.  The Rangers duck down.  Green Ranger uses the device and the power returns to Green Ranger.  Green Ranger shouts a thank you to Alpha 5.  Black Ranger asks, what happened?  I thought we were about to be toast.  Yellow Ranger notes, for some reason, the Green Ranger power never hit us.  Red Ranger notes, it's Tommy.  He's back.  The Green Ranger's power is ours again.  And that means you're finished beetle head!  Red Ranger shouts, weapons everybody!  Stag Beetle gloats, I am the unbeatable beetle.  Red Ranger states, we'll see about that.  The Rangers assemble their power weapons to form Power Blaster.  The Rangers fire Power Blaster and Stag Beetle is defeated.  Blue Ranger warns, I don't think he's done yet guys.  Lord Zedd tosses down his grow bomb.  Stag Beetle catches the bomb.  Blue Ranger notes Zedd's potion has revived Stag Beetle.  Red Ranger adds, that's not all he's doing.  Stag Beetle grows huge.  Red Ranger and the rest of the Rangers summon their Thunder Zords.  The Thunder Zords arrive and Thunder Megazord is quickly formed.  Stag Beetle states, let's see how you like a little pincher action and charges towards Thunder Megazord.  Stag Beetle strikes Thunder Megazord hard.  Black Ranger shouts, we got to exterminate this bug!  Stag Beetle laughs.  Thunder Megazord falls to the ground.  Stag Beetle taunts them.  Taking a little rest?!  Well, wake up!  Stag Beetle kicks Thunder Megazord.  Red Ranger states, we can't take any more hits like that.  We got to get up.  Thunder Megazord gets back up and faces Stag Beetle.  Stag Beetle is ready - come on!  My pinchers will make power mush out of you.  Red Ranger tells the team, here he comes.  When he gets close enough - power punch!  Thunder Megazord punches Stag Beetle, knocking him to the ground.  Thunder Megazord strikes Stag Beetle with the thunder saber, hurting it's pinchers.  Thunder Megazord strikes another blow to Stag Beetle with it's thunder saber.  Stag Beetle is destroyed.   After the battle, in the Youth Center, Jason, Billy, Kimberly, Zack, and Tommy play broomball against Stone Canyon. It is a close game and the Stone Canyon players are very confident that they will win.  Ernie coaches the team to pass the ball to Jason.  Jason will get it to Tommy for the last shot.  The game starts up again with six seconds remaining.  The team follows Ernie's plan.  The game is tied when Tommy scores the winning point.  Trini, Ernie, Richie, and Zack cheer.  Jason, Billy, Kimberly, and Tommy walk over to them.  Richie tells them they did a great job.  Trini tells Richie it is because they had great coaches.  The Stone Canyon players dejectedly start to walk out of the Youth Center.  The Stone Canyon coach makes two of the players walk over to the Angel Grove team.  Reluctantly,  they tell them they are really good.  The teen shakes hands  with Jason.  Jason tells the two Stone Canyon players good game and maybe Stone Canyon will beat them next year.  The Stone Canyon players are not too sure and reply maybe before walking out.  The Stone Canyon team and coach walk out of the Youth Center.  Ernie offers free drinks for everyone and he and Richie walk away to start serving drinks.  Zack tells Tommy he played great.  Tommy thanks him and then tells the group that he won't be much use to the Rangers soon.  Tommy tells them, Zedd has used up so much of his powers.  Kimberly tells Tommy, don't worry about it.  You will be alright.  Jason reassures Tommy they will get him to full strength again and the rest of the team backs Jason up.  Tommy sadly agrees with them, but he has his doubts.

Jason and his friends were summon to the Command Center.  Hallie, Trini's neighbor, had been kidnapped by Goldar and several Putties. Goldar had dropped bottle with a message in it, which Kimberly, Tommy, and Trini brought back to the Command Center.   Billy is busy scanning the characters into the computer.  The computer should then decode them.  Tommy fills in the rest on what happened.  By the time we got there, Goldar and the Putties took off with Hallie.  Jason thinks maybe the message Goldar drop may tell them something.   Billy states, the computer is decoding the message.  Alpha 5 adds the translation is nearly complete.  The computer prints out a sheet and Billy tears it off, stating, let's see what it says.  He tells his friends, it's instructions to Goldar.  It says take Hallie to Venus Island where she'll join us forever.  Kimberly questions, Venus Island?  Zordon tells them, an island that exists only when Zedd calls it forth as he has done now.  Behold the viewing globe.  The teens gather around the viewing globe and look at images of Venus Island.  Zordon continues, just as Zedd can make the island rise, he can make it sink at any time. If it should sink before Hallie is rescued, she will be lost forever to his evil power.  Trini becomes alarmed.  Zordon, we can't wait.  Jason asks, how do we get there?  Zordon responds, no one but Zedd knows it's location.  It appears whenever he chooses.  Billy is not willing to give up.  There must be something unique about the island we can use to pinpoint it.  Zordon tells them, at sunset the trade winds blow to Venus Island.  Billy you must devise a way to track these winds.  Trini asks Billy, how can you follow the wind?  Billy doesn't answer and becomes deep in thought.  After awhile, Billy comes up with a plan.  Billy goes to his home to work on the device.  Jason and Trini are there as well.  Trini is reading out loud from a book, the tracking signal interval should be constant in order that vector analysis may be calculated without recalculating period.  Jason points out that it's almost sunset.  Billy rechecks his maps and then announces the tracking device is complete.  I just have to attached it to this weather balloon.  At sunset we'll release it and track it's path in the atmosphere.  Jason's communicator goes off.  Jason responds, we're here Zordon.  Zordon tells them they must hurry.  My sensors indicate Venus Island is becoming less stable.  Jason, Trini, and Billy exchange concern glances.  Jason tells them, let's do it!  They hurry out of Billy's lab.  Jason, Trini, and Billy are standing on hill.  Billy asks, how long till the sunset Jason?  Jason replies, twenty seconds left.  Trini notes, the winds picking up.  Zordon contacts them and tells them they must not miss sunset.  I fear the island is much too unstable to last another day.  Billy asks, is the tracking device operational?   Zack, taking a close look at the tracking device, responds, yes perfect.  I guess.  Billy tells Jason and Trini, I miscalculated.  This clamp is too heavy.  Billy removes the clamp from the air balloon.  Billy continues, I need something lighter.  Jason is in disbelief, five seconds left.  As Trini looks around for something lighter, Jason notices her hair band and removes it.  Jason gives the hair band to Billy and Billy quickly wraps it around the weather balloon.  Billy releases the balloon and all three watch it float away.   Jason, Trini, and Billy watch the weather balloon float further and further away.  Jason suggests they go back to the Command Center.  At the Command Center, Billy looks over the maps as he tells his friends, still moving rapidly over the Atlantic Ocean.  Jason instructs them, as soon as it lands, we teleport in, get Hallie and get out.  Tommy agrees.  Zack suggests they maybe Tommy should stay behind.  I mean we might need you here.  Uncomfortable, Kimberly adds yeah, your powers.  Zordon tells them, Kimberly is right.  Your powers have been significantly weaken.  If Zedd should force a long fight, it could drain the last of your energy.  You could be lost along with the island.  Tommy reassures his friends, look if Zedd pulls anything, I'll teleport back here.  Deal?  Jason exchanges uneasy glances with Zack and Trini before telling Tommy, it's a deal.  Alpha 5 announces, the tracking signal!  Billy notes, it's landed and it's an island.  Smiles return to everyone's faces.  Alpha 5 announces, the sensors have located Hallie in the center of the island and points to the viewing globe.  The viewing globe shows images of Hallie, which disturbs them all.  Trini asks, what's happening?  Zordon answers, Lord Zedd is trying to make Hallie evil.  When the red fog has taken over her entire body, she will be lost to his evil control.  Jason states, we'll see about that.  Ready to teleport.  The teens get ready and Jason announces, to Venus Island.  Alpha 5 wishes them good luck as they teleport out.  Jason, Kimberly, Tommy, Trini, Billy, and Zack arrive on Venus Island.  Billy quickly unties the device from the weather balloon and they begin their search for Hallie. It is a strange place and Kimberly comments, this plants are weird.  Invenusable Flytrap arrives on Venus Island.  Jason, Tommy, Zack, Kimberly, Billy, and Trini continue to search the island.  After a few moments, Kimberly asks, did you hear something?  Trini responds, I don't know, maybe.  Invenusable Flytrap arrives behind them and Trini is the first to spot it and calls out a warning to her friends.  Jason, Kimberly, Tommy, Billy, Zack, and Trini quickly morph.   Red Ranger, Pink Ranger, Green Ranger, Yellow Ranger, Blue Ranger, and Black Ranger  face down Invenusable Flytrap.  Invenusable Flytrap welcomes them to Venus Island.  I do hope you like it, since you will never leave!  Invenusable Flytrap laughs.
