The teens, Leelee, and Toby were inside Rock Porium.  The teens were sitting as Toby talk.  Toby:  So you guys really are the Power Rangers.  The teens nodded.  Toby:  Okay, Nick is the Red Ranger.  Nick:  Right.  Toby:  And Xander is green.  Toby went on to identify each Ranger, go over the story of Koragg/Leanbow, that Nick was the Light and the bad guys wanted to destroy the Light to gain control of the surface world, and even figure out that it had been Leelee's mom Necrolai who had taken him.  Everyone could hear lots of screaming coming from outside.  Phineas walked inside.  Leelee hurried over to Phineas and he gave her a bouquet of onions.  Leelee introduced Phineas as her boyfriend.  Toby was a little confused that Leelee was dating Xander's uncle.

The five Terrors surround the fiery energy that his the Master.  Black Lance very much wants to be chosen as the body for the Master.  So would Sculpin.  It's time for another selection ceremony.  This time Matoomba is chosen.  Inside Rootcore, Jenji tries the laundry by using Fire Heart.  Udonna and Daggeron are using the crystal ball to search for Leanbow without success.  Udonna decides if she cannot find Leanbow from the outside, perhaps she should try from the inside.  Udonna casts a spell and her spirit leaves her body.  Inside Rock Porium, the teens get Phineas ready for his first day on the job.  Phineas opens the door and scares away all the customers standing outside.  The store gets dark as the power goes out.  The teens raced outside.  The Power Rangers are in their two zords as they face off Matoomba.  Matoomba is busy collecting all the electricity.  When the Rangers try to stop him, they are knock down to the ground.  Matoomba tells the Rangers if they let him collect the electricity, then no one will get hurt.  Pink Ranger is struck by Matoomba's words of not hurting them.  The rest of the Rangers don't believe it and dash away to try and stop Matoomba.

Matoomba looks at the city of Briarwood from a hill.  Matoomba turns around at the sound of ball running into the street and a child chasing after it.  Matoomba uses electricity to stop the car.  The driver is stunned as Matoomba walks into the street and helps the child to safety.  Matoomba tells the child to be careful.  The child pats Matoomba's head and leaves the ball with him.  Matoomba ponders the gift of the ball as the Pink Ranger, on her mystic rider, flies above them.  The Pink Ranger is about to contact the other Rangers, when she changes her mind.  Elsewhere, Udonna is searching for Leanbow.  There is a deep crevice and Udonna decides to descend into as she feels Leanbow is close by.  Back in Briarwood, Pink Ranger has demorph.  Vida approaches Matoomba and tells him he is not like the other Terrors.  Vida shows Matoomba what you can do with a ball.  Vida accidentally hits Matoomba in the face with the ball.  Vida is worried, but instead of getting angry, Matoomba laughs.  Vida and Matoomba start talking when suddenly Matoomba is hit.  It's the Green Ranger.  Green Ranger begins battling Matoomba, convince that Vida is in trouble.  Vida manages to stop Green Ranger and asks him to demorph.  Reluctantly Green Ranger demorphs.  Vida continues to talk to Matoomba, explaining to him that if he destroys the world, he hurts everyone in it, including the child he had just saved.  Matoomba insists that he is here to destroy the world.  Vida challenges Matoomba to then strike her first.  In the pit, the four Terrors gathered around the energy of the Master.  The Master is ready to choose who will be his vessel and they all hope to be chosen.  Necrolai wants victory as well, she just doesn't want to be chosen.  In Briarwood, Matoomba does not strike Vida.  The huge electric ball he created is heading towards them, and instead, Matoomba destroys the electric ball.  Vida is thrilled that she was right about Matoomba, while Xander is greatly relieved.  Suddenly, Matoomba is hit with purple lasers all around him.  Matoomba falls and rolls down the hill.  Matoomba is dazed and wonders what had happened to him.  Itassis and Gekkor walk up to Matoomba and question him as to why he had save the child.  Itassis tells Matoomba the Master has chosen him to be his vessel.  Gekkor questions whether Matoomba still works for the Master.  Matoomba tells him he no longer works for the Master.  Elsewhere, Udonna has landed on the bottom of the crevice.  Udonna searches for Leanbow and then spots him laying on the ground, still in his ancient mystic armor.  In Briarwood, Vida and Xander race down the hill and towards Matoomba.  Gekkor is battling Matoomba.  Vida and Xander morphed.  Pink Ranger races right into the battle and tries to protect Matoomba.  Pink Ranger is hit and tumbles away from the battle.  The rest of the Rangers have arrived.  Pink Ranger is desperate to help Matoomba as Gekkor is still battling him.  Pink Ranger grabs Solaris Knight's morpher and summons the train.  Pink Ranger also grabs a hold of Jenji.  Pink Ranger races back into battle.  Pink Ranger helps Matoomba to his feet.  They board the train and take off into another dimension.  Itassis approaches the Rangers and tells them she might have the answers they seek.  On the train, Pink Ranger makes sure Matoomba is okay.  They have just gotten settle when Gekkor appears.  Pink Ranger battles Gekkor, determine not to let him harm Matoomba.  Pink Ranger is not having much success.  Matoomba tells Pink Ranger to step aside and Matoomba blasts Gekkor.  Pink Ranger opens the portal and Gekkor falls through the portal and floats in the unknown dimension.  Gekkor vows he will find Matoomba and make him pay.
