Jake, Noah, and Troy are playing soccer in the park.  Noah:  "Bring it Jake!"  Jake kicks the ball through Troy's legs.  Noah:  "Nice!"  Emma and Gia are close by, gazing out at the harbor.  They turn and watch the guys for a few moments.  Emma:  "I'm so happy I'm part of this team.  We really have become a family."  Gia:  "You've always been like a sister to me."  They can hear the guys game.  Jake:  "No you don't!"  The girls laugh.  Gia:  "Yeah, quite a family."  They watch as Jake chases after the ball.  Emma turns to gaze out at the water again.  Emma:  "It is such a beautiful planet."  Gia:  "Yup.  As planets go, we pretty much lucked out."  Emma:  "We have to do everything we can to preserve it."  An ice cream truck pulls up.  Gia:  "Hey, I'm going to get us some ice cream.  I'll be right back."  Gia heads over to join the line of kids by the ice cream truck.  Emma gazes out and imagines what the landscape looked like before humans.  She is deep in her thoughts and doesn't realize when Gia returns.  Gia holds out the ice cream in front of Emma's face.  Gia:  "Ice cream!"  Emma is startled but quickly smiles.  Gia:  "Here you go."  Emma takes the ice cream.  Gia:  "One scoop soy strawberry cheesecake with sprinkles."  Emma:  "Exactly what I wanted."  Gia:  "I've only known you since forever."  Emma:  "This place is beautiful now.  But I was imaging how perfect it must have been thousand of years ago."  Emma and Gia gaze out at the landscape.

Vrak:  "At last, my underwater lab is complete.  From here, I can finally launch my new plan to destroy the Rangers and conquer this planet.  All the efforts of the insectoid monsters have proven ineffective.  They weren't powerful enough to achieve real results.  It's time for a new force to rise.  The era of the robot has arrived."  A robot walked towards Vrak.  Vrak:  "Beautiful.  And you have the ability to create even more like yourself."  Metal Alice:  "I am Metal Alice.  I am your creation master."  Vrak:  "Amazing.  You are the perfect machine to crush those power rangers to dust."  Vrak laughs. 

Vrak:  "So Metal Alice, are you ready to carry out your mission?"  Metal Alice:  "Robot design data complied.  I'm ready sir."  Vrak is looking forward to seeing what the new robot can do.  Metal Alice activates the robot.  Rotox steps forward and is ready for action.  Metal Alice instructs Rotox to show their master what it can do.  Metal Alice charges forward and strikes Rotox with her sword several times.  Rotox uses it's eye beams to sever one of Metal Alice's legs.  Metal Alice falls to the floor.  Vrak is impressed.
