Kimberly, Tommy, Jason, and Zack join them. Bulk and Skull walk in with their latest invention - a way to detect who is a Power Ranger. Bulk and Skull get a strong reading and Billy uses his invention to divert the reading on Bulk and Skull's invention. Bulk and Skull's invention takes them to Ernie who does a karate stance before laughing, along with everyone else. Tommy realizes that he has to get started on his homework and leaves. Later, Trini, Billy, Kimberly, Jason and Zack are getting ready to leave the Youth Center when Jason's communicator goes off. Trini and her friends find a quiet spot and Jason tells Zordon, we read you. Zordon informs them that Lord Zedd has created a new powerful monster called Robogoat. Prepare to teleport to the Command Center for a briefing. Tommy joins the teens and asks, what's up. Zack tells him, hey man, you're just in time. Zedd's at it again. Jason informs Zordon that they're teleporting. Trini and her friends teleport out of the Youth Center. Trini and her friends arrive at the Command Center. Trini points to the viewing globe, where images of Robogoat are displayed. Kimberly asks, what is that thing? Zordon replies, his name is Robogoat. And he draws his various strengths from mystical and mechanical sources. You must stop him before he reaches Angel Grove. With a smirk that no one else sees, Tommy takes a closer look at the viewing globe. Tommy states, count me in. Kimberly protests. No way. Tommy you have to conserve your powers. Jason adds, we may need to rely on you for a bigger battle later on. Assuming a look of concern, Tommy turns around and faces his friends. He tells them, wait a minute. Zordon, what if we summon the Sword of Power? Maybe that would give me an extra boost of power that would sustain me through the fight. Billy agrees, this might work. Zordon agrees as well. It's worth a try Rangers. Trini and her friends form a circle and place their hands in the center as they summon the Sword of Power. The sword appears in Tommy's hands. Tommy waves it around. Kimberly screams and clutches Zack's wrist. Tommy gives an evil laugh as he tells them their days as Power Rangers are numbered. Tommy vanishes. Zack doesn't believe it. Kimberly can't believe this is happening again. Jason is furious, but doesn't say a word. After awhile, Zordon asks Alpha if he has a lock on Tommy yet? Alpha 5 replies, yes! I found him outside the mountains. Zordon informs the teens, Tommy is out of Lord Zedd's trance but his powers are fading. Trini, Billy, Kimberly, Jason, Zack, and Alpha look at the viewing globe, which is showing images of Green Ranger. Zordon continues, he needs your help Rangers. Trini, Billy, Kimberly, Jason, and Zack morph and teleport out. Yellow Ranger, Blue Ranger, Pink Ranger, Red Ranger, and Black Ranger arrive and face Robogoat, who welcomes them. Red Ranger notes, Robogoat has got the sword. Robogoat tells the Rangers they are finished. Let the games begin! Robogoat holds the Sword of Power high up. Electric currents travel up the sword and then shoot out at the Rangers. Red Ranger calls out a warning - brace yourself! The Rangers are hit and knocked off their feet. The Rangers struggle to get back up. Red Ranger tells them to get into attack positions. Robogoat suggests they do this one at a time. You first Red Ranger and the rest of you can wait down below! Robogoat laughs as he slams the Sword of Power into the ground. The ground shakes and Yellow Ranger, Blue Ranger, Pink Ranger, and Black Ranger struggle to stay standing up. The ground below them cracks open and the four Rangers fall into the opening. Red Ranger fights Robogoat. Eventually, the four Rangers are released inside energy bubbles. The energy bubbles fly from Robogoat and hover over the ground before turning into the Rangers and dropping onto the ground. Yellow Ranger exclaims, finally! I guess Jason got us out of those energy bubbles. Red Rangers races over to the four Rangers. He tells them to regroup. We've got to ram this goat and find Tommy! Red Ranger holds the Power Sword high as they face down Robogoat. Lord Zedd throws his grow bomb down to Angel Grove. Robogoat grows to giant size and laughs at the Rangers. The Rangers summon their Thunder zords. The Thunder zords arrive and Thunder Megazord is quickly formed. Robogoat gloats, you're still no match for Robogoat! Robogoat charges towards Thunder Megazord with it's staff. Thunder Megazord fights Robogoat and his staff. Thunder Megazord lands a hard punch on Robogoat. Robogoat is knocked several feet back. Thunder Megazord draws out it's saber and points it towards Robogoat. Robogoat states, that's still no match for the amount of destruction. Robogoat holds it's staff in front of it as Thunder Megazord cuts it in half with it's saber. The pieces fall to the ground. Robogoat is upset. Look what you done! Maybe you'll get a charge out of this. Gold and blue electric currents shoot out of Robogoat's hands and hits Thunder Megazord hard. Robogoat blasts Thunder Megazord again as he shouts goodbye Rangers! Red Ranger yells, Zordon! Do you have a lock on Tommy?! We need him now! Robogoat shoots more electrical blasts at Thunder Megazord. Thunder Megazord is hit hard. Red Ranger tells his team to pull it together. Thunder Megazord falls to the ground. Robogoat laughs and charges towards the fallen Thunder Megazord as he shouts, you're finished! Red Ranger tells the team, direction systems sluggish but not down. Billy, check it out! Robogoat charges towards Thunder Megazord. Red Ranger informs the team, system is fully online. Way to go guys! Now let's show him what we're made of! Thunder Megazord pulls out it's sword. Robogoat hesitates and then states, you don't scare me. Thunder Megazord strikes Robogoat with it's sword and Robogoat is destroyed.

Several teens are at the Youth Center, getting ready for the clean up drive in the Angel Grove community. Trini, Zack, and Billy are among the teens. A television reporter is there as well and she, and her camera man, film the teens. The television reporter talks to Zack about the clean up drive. The television reporter tells the group that a rumor is going around that the Power Rangers will be there. Zack doesn't know what to say and Trini covers for him by telling the reporter, they don't know as they don't know the Power Rangers. The interview ends and the reporter thanks them. Everyone leaves for the clean up drive. Later, Alpha 5 contacts, Trini, Zack, and Billy and tells them to teleport to the Command Center. At the Command Center, Kimberly tells Zordon, we got to do something to get Tommy back. (Tommy had gotten capture by Octophantom and his jar.) 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. After a few moments, Zordon informs the teens that the Octophantom has just landed in West Union park. Kimberly asks, does he have Tommy with him? Trini, Zack, Kimberly, Billy, Jason, and Alpha 5 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. Trini, Zack, Kimberly, Billy, and Jason morph and teleport out. Yellow Ranger, Black Ranger, Pink Ranger, Blue Ranger, and Red Ranger arrive at the park and simultaneously punch Octophantom. Octophantom quickly knocks them away. Yellow Ranger, Black Ranger, Pink Ranger, Blue Ranger, and Red Ranger 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! Yellow Ranger, Black Ranger, Pink Ranger, and Red Ranger charge towards Octophantom. Blue Ranger is more cautious and shouts at them to wait. It's a trap! Yellow Ranger, Black Ranger, Red Ranger, and Pink Ranger fight Octophantom. Blue Ranger watches the battle. 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. Black Ranger and Red 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. Blue Ranger closely watches Octophantom. 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. Later, Yellow Ranger, Black Ranger, Pink Ranger, and Green Ranger are taken outside to a cliff overlooking a gravel quarry. The four Rangers are guarded by several of Zedd's Putties. Below them, Red Ranger fights Octophantom. Soon Blue Ranger arrives to help Red Ranger. He gives Red Ranger a shield. Blue Ranger and Red Ranger fight Octophantom. After awhile, Blue Ranger leaps above to where the four Rangers are. Blue Ranger fights Zedd's Putties. He kicks one Putty aside and punches another one. Blue Ranger defeats the Putties. Blue Ranger frees the four Rangers. Green Ranger collapses when he is freed, and Blue Ranger catches him. Blue Ranger tells him, he is too weak. You need to go back to the Command Center. Green Ranger insists he is alright. Blue Ranger doesn't buy it. You're no good to us this way. Blue Ranger presses Green Ranger's morpher and sends him 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 tosses 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. After the battle, at the Youth Center, everyone is enjoying the refreshments set out. Zack leads Jason, Billy, and Kimberly to 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. Trini, Zack, Jason, Billy, 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. Trini, Zack, Billy, Kimberly, and Jason 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. Trini and Zack 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 Trini, Zack, Kimberly, Billy and Jason laugh.

Jason, Billy, Kimberly, Tommy, and Zack had agreed to be Angel Grove's broomball team and play against Stone Canyon's team. Trini was helping Ernie with the coaching duties. 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, Trini, Jason, Billy, 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. Trini, Billy, and Zack gather around Jason. Zordon tells them Kimberly and Tommy have been attacked by one of Zedd's monsters. Jason responds, read you. Trini, Jason, Billy, and Zack 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. Trini, Jason, Billy, Kimberly, 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! Yellow Ranger, Red Ranger, Blue 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 Yellow Ranger, Red Ranger, and Blue 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. Yellow Ranger, Red Ranger, Blue Ranger, Pink Ranger and Black Ranger are hit hard. Several Putties arrive, and Stag Beetle tells them, let's finish them off! Yellow Ranger, Red Ranger, Blue Ranger, Pink Ranger, and Black 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. Yellow 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.

Trini, Tommy, and Kimberly are building sand castles with Trini's neighbor, Hallie. Hallie thought it would be romantic to be a sleeping princess in a castle, waiting for her prince. Tommy thought it was sappy. Trini suggested Hallie make the castle stronger, to give the prince a challenge. Hallie hurry off to gather some rocks. Richie walked by. Trini and Richie exchanged glances and hellos.
