Flurious, Moltor, Kamdor, Miratrix and the Fearcats have gathered inside the cave.  They are not happy.  Benglo:  We're no better off now than we were before.  Moltor:  He's right.  We've got new Rangers and no jewels.  Thrax's plan is failing.  Miratrix wanted to know where Thrax was.  Flurious commented that he had his Chillers following the new Rangers, but perhaps he should have them following Thrax.

Adam, Bridge, Xander, Kira, and Tori are in a warehouse in Angel Grove.  Adam is leading them along.  Bridge offers to help and takes his glove off to take a reading.  Bridge tells them he is getting a strange reading over by some crates.  The strange reading turns out to be several Chillers.  Xander steps forward, ready to put his plan into action, and introduces himself.  The plan does not go well as Xander is knocked aside by the Chillers.  Xander gets up.  The five teens battle and defeat the Chillers.  Afterwards, Adam spots the crate he was looking for and leads the others to it.  Tori wonders whether this would really help, and Adam is confident that it will.  In the control center, Mack is sweeping up.  The Sentinel Knight appears and tells him he is glad that not everyone has abandon the mission.  Mack remarks this is as much as he can do.  Sentinel Knight reminds him of what the Rangers had quoted, once a ranger.  Mack remarks how can he fight evil when he is no longer a Ranger.  Sentinel Knight tells him as long as he fights against evil, he is a Ranger.  Mack asks Sentinel Knight what Thrax meant about an object that could destroy him.  Sentinel Knight tells Mack about the Excelsior sword.  Sentinel Knight believes Thrax is looking for it and when he finds it, he plans to have his revenge on him.  Mack excitedly tells Sentinel Knight they should look for the sword.  Sentinel Knight replies the protection of the jewels is more important.  Sentinel Knight becomes weak and has to leave.  Elsewhere, Ronny had just won another race.  Ronny glances inside her trophy and is disappointed there is no small box inside.  In New Zealand, Dax is filming a movie.  Dax had just finished his sequence and everyone tells him he has done great.  There is a call for a lunch break and everyone leaves Dax hanging on the wires.  Will had just recovered a stolen painting and he has returned it.  Will suggests better security and is thanked and given a check.  The check doesn't give him the same satisfaction as being a Ranger had.  Rose is lecturing at a university.  After the lecture, Mack pops his head in.  Rose is thrilled to see him.  Rose and Mack hug.  Mack asks her if she knows anything about the Excelsior sword.  Rose replies there is a book in the library about it.  Mack takes off.  Rose gets on her cell phone.  Meanwhile, Mack has found the information he needs and is now in the woods.  As he searches, he falls into a pit.  Mack manages to climb out and when he does, he sees a goddess statue with the Excelsior sword.  Before Mack can do anything, Thrax appears.  Thrax tells Mack he has lead him to the sword.

Thrax is ready to strike Mack when his staff gets knock aside by Dax.  Mack is surprised and asks Dax how he got here.  Dax tells him by following them and points to Rose, Will, Tyzonn, and Ronny.  Mack is very happy to see them.  In the control center, the crate is open and Adam helps Alpha 6 out.  Alpha 6 is very happy to be in service again.  In the woods, Thrax is determine to get the Excelsior sword.  Thrax approaches the warrior goddess and tries to take the sword.  The goddess knocks him down.  Thrax next uses force to get the sword, but is knocked down once more.  Mack tells Thrax he knows nothing of the statue.  Only the warrior goddess can decide who gets the sword.  Angry Thrax vows if he cannot have the sword, he will destroy the Earth.  Back in the control center, Adam and Mr. Hartford prepare Alpha to go into the universal morphing grid and repair it.  After Alpha is gone, the alarm goes off.  Tori, Kira, Bridge, and Xander slid down the poles and race towards the screen.  The screen shows a giant size monster, Vulturus.  Tori comments that she sees they still make them big.  Mr. Hartford instructs Adam to take the Flashpoint.  The five teens race out.  In the woods, Dax tries to pry the sword from the goddess, but has no luck as he stumbles back into his friends.  Ronny comments that if they were Power Rangers, the goddess would give them the sword.  The teens start to walk away, with Mack trailing the group.  Mack stops as he remembers what Sentinel Knight say about being a Ranger and having power.  Mack tells his friends he is not going until he has the sword.  Mack returns to the statue and tries once more.  Mack is surprised and pleased as several more hands appear, his friends, and they all try to get the sword.  The statue comes to life, much to their surprise, and tells them their friendship and dedication has made her decide to give them the sword.  After the sword is pass to Mack, the goddess returns to statue form.  In the morphing grid, Alpha is in a panic and wonders what Zordon would do.  Meanwhile, the Rangers, in the two Megazords battle Vulturus.  The Rangers have a difficult time.  The Rangers spot Mack racing towards them with the sword.  Mack leaps high into the air and comes down slashing the sword through Vulturus and destroying him.  The Rangers cheer.

The six teens return to the control center.  Mr. Hartford and Spencer are there, along with Sentinel Knight.  Mack gives Sentinel Knight the sword and tells him now Thrax will not be able to destroy him.  Sentinel Knight takes the sword and is returned to his true form.  Rose tells Mr. Hartford it was wrong for them to have left and they would like to come back.  The five Rangers enter the room and tell Mack what a great job he did.  Alpha 6 returns from the morphing grid.  Mr. Hartford checks and the morphing grid is repaired.  The six teens are thrilled as they realized they are Power Rangers again.  Alpha 6 tells them it's great to be useful again and Dax adds tells us about it.  In the city the evil alliance finds Vulturus on the ground.  Thrax is upset, he was sure Vulturus would destroy the Rangers.  Flurious tells him he has found with the Rangers it always good to have a plan B.  Flurious plants one of his gyros inside Vulturus.  Vulturus returns and is now giant size.  Back at the control center, the screen shows the evil alliance.  Adam asks Mack if he ready to get back into action and Mack replies that he is.  The Trackers are handed back to the six teens.  All of the teens take off to face down the evil alliance. Thrax is surprised to see the Operation Overdrive teens.  All the teens morph.  The Rangers and the villains race towards each other and the battle begins.  Black Mighty Morphin Power Ranger battles Thrax.  Red S.P.D. and Red Operation Overdrive Power Rangers battle Flurious.  Green Mystic Force, Black Operation Overdrive, and Blue Operation Overdrive Rangers battle the Fearcats.  Yellow Dino Thunder and Yellow Operation Overdrive Rangers battle Miratrix and Kamdor.  Blue Ninja Storm and Pink Operation Overdrive Rangers battle Moltor.  Mercury Ranger battles several Chillers and Vulturus.  It is a difficult battle, but the Rangers are doing well.  Mercury Ranger destroys Vulturus.  Sentinel Knight appears.  Thrax tells him if he had the sword he would destroy him.  Sentinel Knight replies he can't have the sword, because it is now a part of him.  Sentinel Knight destroys Thrax and ends the evil legacy.  The Rangers, Sentinel Knight and the remaining evil alliance face each other.  The Rangers and Sentinel Knight fired at the evil alliance.  The villains survive and Moltor tells them he is going after the jewels.  Miratrix tells him not if they get there first.  The evil alliance is no more and they vanish.  The Rangers and Sentinel Knight walk forward.  Red Operation Overdrive Power Ranger tells Black Mighty Morphin Power Ranger that is what Ranger power is all about.  They shake hands.

Everyone is gathered inside the Hartford mansion, including all the teens, Mr. Hartford, Spencer, and Alpha 6.  Dax tells Tori, Xander, Bridge, Adam, and Kira that at first he was happy to see them, then upset that they were staying, and now sad that they are leaving.  Spencer walks in with a tray full of buttery toast for Bridge.  Tori tells them if they ever need them again, just to give them a call and passes her card over to Mr. Hartford.  Adam plans on taking Alpha 6 back to his dojo with him.  Everyone is in an upbeat mood.  Mr. Hartford suggests they gathered together.  Everyone forms a circle and plans their hands on top of each other.  Then they leap into the air and cheer for Power Rangers.
