Page Forty-One

Trying to lighten the mood, Aisha tells her friends the only problem she has is trying to figure out how to get all her souvenirs home. Rocky suggests a tug boat which cracks Tommy up. The rest of the teens laugh as well and the moment of concern passes. After their meal, Tommy and his friends return to their group and continue with their tour of Australia. Soon one of the chaperones tells the teens they don't have much time to shop and need to meet back here in two hours. The chaperone walks away. Tommy teases Kimberly that two hours is not enough time for her to go shopping. Kimberly goes over her list of people she needs to buy presents for. The teens' communicators go off. Tommy responds by asking Zordon what's up? Alpha 5 tells them morph and teleport to the abandon Spectre Theater in downtown Angel Grove. Tommy and his friends can hear there is a problem. Billy asks Alpha 5 if everything is alright and doesn't get an answer. Billy tells his friends something isn't right. Rocky asks Alpha 5 if he is okay? Still no response. Billy tries again, but there is no response. Tommy, Adam, Aisha, Billy, Kimberly, and Rocky become concern. Suddenly Alpha 5 shouts out Rangers, this is an emergency! I will contact you as soon as I can! Aisha comments that Alpha sounds kind of weird. Adam suggests that maybe he is just worried. Kimberly tells her friends they better go. Tommy and his friends find a quiet area and morph. White Ranger and the rest of the Rangers teleport to the Spectre Theater. Pink Ranger finds the place creepy. Yellow Ranger agrees. White Ranger and the rest of the Rangers begin walking around the strange place. Yellow Ranger asks if someone could please tell her what they are doing in this weird place. White Ranger tells them I guess we are just going to have to wait to hear from Alpha. Suddenly several doors slam shut, startling White Ranger and the rest of the Rangers. After awhile, White Ranger tries to contact Alpha 5, but gets no response. Pink Ranger tells White Ranger it's no use. Blue Ranger points out that he's been at it for a long time. Yellow Ranger thinks something has happened to Alpha 5. Red Ranger asks what they should do? Black Ranger points out that Alpha told them to stay put. He must have had a reason. White Ranger agrees and tells them we will give it a little longer. White Ranger and the rest of the Rangers continue to explore the place. Red Ranger feels something is wrong here. Black Ranger agrees. We've been here over an hour and not a word from Alpha. Yellow Ranger suggests they just stay put. Blue Ranger agrees. So does White Ranger. He suggests they stay here, a walkway above the entry, where they can keep an eye on things. Red Ranger feels something and asks the others if they do. Black Ranger does and asks what is it? Pink Ranger feels it as well and notes it is getting stronger. Blue Ranger tries to figure out where it is coming from. He notes the direction and suddenly Invenusable Flytrap appears in a corner. White Ranger and the rest of the Rangers are very surprised to see the monster. In the opposite direction, Soccadillo and Saliguana appear. White Ranger and the rest of the Rangers are taken aback by more monsters. White Ranger notes they have no room to maneuver up here. White Ranger instructs for everyone to go down on the deck. The Rangers leap off the walkway and onto the deck below. Eye Guy is waiting for them below. Soccadillo and another monster, Grumble Bee are also down on the deck. Peckster has made it below as well. White Ranger tells the team there is too many of them and they try to teleport out, but they can't. Black Ranger notes it's not working. Pink Ranger tells the team they will have to fight everyone and to call on their power weapons. When they call upon their power weapons, none appear. Yet another past monster appears, Dramole. Dramole sings poor little Rangers, they're all doomed. Pink Ranger asks what are they going to do? No one has an answer for her.

Inside Spectre Theater, White Ranger and the rest of the Power Rangers are surrounded by various monsters as Dramole continues to sing.

Yellow Ranger is okay as she is helped back up by Black Ranger and White Ranger. Soccadillo wants to strike the Rangers all at once and get rid of them. Grumble Bee replies no! They have to be in one piece. They are Rita's wedding present to Lord Zedd. Peckster is positive Lord Zedd won't mind if a few pieces are missing. Yellow Ranger tells the rest of the Rangers, so that is what this is all about. Rita and Zedd getting married. White Ranger tells his friends it was bad enough having one evil lunatic on the moon. Blue Ranger reminds his friends none of this will make a difference if we don't get away from these monsters. Pink Ranger suggests the hidden stairwell we found awhile back. White Ranger thinks it's a good idea. He tells his friends they will split up and meet there later. White Ranger and the rest of the Rangers are quietly walking around Spectre Theater. As they go down a set of stairs, White Ranger warns the rest of the Rangers to keep their eyes open - those monsters could be right behind us. After awhile, the Rangers enter a room. Blue Ranger leads the way, telling the rest of the Rangers that the monsters are blocking the main entrance, but logically there's got to be another way out. The Rangers run into Snizzard and Robogoat. The Rangers quickly run in the opposite direction. Robogoat calls them Powerless Rangers and shouts after them we only want to play! Soon, Blue Ranger informs the rest of the Rangers he has found a lower level, it could be the way out they have been searching for. The rest of the Rangers follow Blue Ranger down a flight of stairs. They end up in a cave underneath the theater. White Ranger sees a light. White Ranger and the rest of the Rangers go towards it. Yellow Ranger tells the rest of the Rangers to hurry, she can hear the monsters coming. As they get closer to the light, White Ranger notes the fresh air. The Rangers hurry towards the fresh air and light. The Power Rangers make it outside and keep running. White Ranger tells the rest of the Rangers they have to stay clear of the theater and hopes they will get their powers again. Unfortunately, Lord Zedd learned of their escape.

The White Tiger Thunderbolts hits Peckster several times. Rhinoblaster uses his sword to blast energy at Thunder Megazord. The Thunder Megazord is hit. Rhinoblaster laughs. Black Ranger tells the rest of the Rangers they have sustain serious damage. Red Ranger suggests they try again. Peckster warns them it will take more than that to get rid of him. Peckster extends his wings out and starts flapping them. Saba tells White Ranger one focus blow should finish them. White Ranger replies I'll concentrate all our power into one big burst. Peckster taunts White Tigerzord, asking what are you waiting for? Rhinoblaster adds they must be taking their lunch break in there! Thunder Megazord and White Tigerzord prepare to fire. Rhinoblaster hits Thunder Megazord hard. Black Ranger tells the rest of the Rangers, suddenly all the power has shut down. The Thunder Megazord has taken a major hit. Peckster fires as well and hits White Tigerzord. Rhinoblaster uses his horn to fire at Thunder Megazord and White Tigerzord. Both are hit and the Rangers have to eject. Alpha 5, who had been watching the battle on the viewing globe, then teleports the Rangers back to the theater. The Rangers are very surprised to find themselves back in Specter Theater. Yellow Ranger does not like being back in this creepy place. Pink Ranger wonders how they got back here. Blue Ranger tells the rest of the Rangers it felt like we were teleported. Red Ranger tells the rest that's impossible. The Rangers sit on the stairs as Blue Ranger paces back and forth trying to contact Alpha 5 or Zordon. He gets no response. Pink Ranger confides that she is really worried. Something must have happened. White Ranger tells them not to get down. Remember there's strength in numbers. Pink Ranger asks the rest of the Rangers, what about the zords? What happened to them? White Ranger tells them it was like someone shut the power switch off. Rhinoblaster and Peckster teleport in.

At Angel Grove High School, Miss Appleby is giving her class an assignment. What period in history would you have liked to lived? These are the subjects for your assignment. The bell rings. Miss Appleby tells her class to enjoy their three day weekend. Miss Appleby erases her chalkboard as Tommy and the rest of the students leave her class. Tommy and the rest of the students head outside. Bulk and Skull are not happy about having an assignment on a three day weekend.
