Boom is very excited and runs down the corridor. Sydney and Bridge are playing a game when Boom excitedly enters the room and wrecks their game. Boom tells them to follow him. Syd and Bridge follow Boom, who has now run into Z, Jack, and Sky. Boom tells them to follow him and they raced to the command center. Commander Cruger tells them the command center is not a play area, but Boom tells him he has something important that they need to hear. Kat is in the command center as well. Boom tells them that he had built a radio receiver, because he wanted to listen to old broadcast. Instead, Boom received a message from the future warning Earth of a Troobian invasion. Jack is skeptical, but Commander Cruger takes the message very seriously. As the group talks, a shimmering white ball of light enters the command center and hovers undetected. Later, the alarm goes off and Jack, Sky, Z, and Syd entered the command center. A monster is attacking. Z had gone off in the woods, freak out over the warning. The cadets contact her and tell her of the attack. Z is confronted by Morgana and they battle. Z suits up to the Yellow Ranger, but she ends up being defeated by Morgana. Meanwhile the rest of the Rangers are having their own difficulties against the monster. The Rangers end up demorph and Z joins them. Sky comments that he thinks it's going to be a long day.
Kat sends the Rangers their zords and the battle continues. Morgana appears in a giant robot and the battle intensifies. Kat and Commander Cruger monitored the situation in the command center. Kat is concern and Commander Cruger tells her that this team is the best he has ever worked with. Kat questions whether that is enough. The robot places a strange object in the center of the city and the Rangers wondered what it is. The Rangers soon find out it is a signal to destroy Earth. Another monster appears on a rooftop building. Shadow Ranger appears and tells the Rangers to take care of the robot while he takes care of the monster. Shadow Ranger has a difficult battle with the monster. The rest of the Rangers are soon tossed from their zords and demorph. The Rangers suit up again and battle Morgana on the ground. Shadow Ranger joins them in their battle against Morgana. The two monsters appear and they protect Morgana. Morgana finds a remote device and Yellow Ranger is scare when Morgana pushes the lever down - but the device was only for fireworks.
The battle continues against the Rangers and Morgana and her two monsters. The Rangers are not doing well, even with Shadow Ranger's help. Morgana and her two monsters leave the Rangers in a crumpled heap. They return to the command center where Kat gives them information. The two monsters are Devastation - the most powerful criminal in the universe and his brother Shorty - the second most powerful criminal. Kat has no information on the young woman. Commander Cruger knows who she is and tells the group that the young woman is Morgana, very powerful with the imagination of a ten year old. Supreme Commander Birdy appears in a hologram with grave news. Supreme Commander Birdy is unable to send reinforcements and the cadets are on their own. The alarm sounds and the cadets suit up and begin another battle with Morgana, Devastation and Shorty. During the battle Shorty grows large and the Rangers asks Kat to send them their zords, but she can't. Morgana, Devastation, and Shorty get the upper hand on the Rangers and they are on the ground in a crumple heap.
