Kat and Commander Cruger are watching a transmission: This is Gamma Four. Come in XQ. There are numerous explosions in the transmission and the person is pleading for help. The transmission ends with a sentence not finish. Meanwhile, the guys are in the rec room. Jack and Bridge are sparring, much to the irritation of Sky who is working on something. Z and Syd walk in the rec room and they are arguing. Commander Cruger walks in and tells the group that he had hear them arguing all the way to Kat's lab. Later, Kat in frantically working on a new weapon for the Rangers when Commander Cruger walks in. Kat is frazzled and in her attempts to hurry, she fires the quantum enhancer. Z walks in and asks what is going on. Commander Cruger tells her that Kat fired the quantum enhancer before walking out. Kat is upset, thinking it will take another month before she can get one. Z knows of where Kat can get a quantum enhancer quicker. Z takes Kat to Piggy's, where they ask Piggy if he has a quantum enhancer. Piggy is ready to sell it to them, when he is stopped by two aliens, Stench and Tresher. After a quick conversation, Piggy just gives them a quantum enhancer. Quietly watching is Broodwing. Kat and Z return to headquarters and she installs the quantum enhancer, unaware that the aliens had planted a virus in it. A giant robot appears in the city and the Rangers are sent. Kat and Commander Cruger watch the battle on the monitor, unaware that Stench is in the lab, stealing the new weapons technology. Commander Cruger and Kat watch the Rangers defeat the robot and capture Tresher. Stench sneezes and Kat and Commander Cruger realize they have an intruder in the lab. Before they can stop him, Stench has vanished. Kat tells Commander Cruger that the alien has stolen the new weapons technology.
The Rangers are heading back to headquarters with Tresher in handcuffs. They are ambushed by Stench. The Rangers have a difficult time battling Stench who is wearing the powerful armor that Kat had design. Red Ranger uses the battlizer, but Stench and Tresher - who Stench has freed - manage to get away. The Rangers blame each other for the escape. The Rangers return to headquarters. In the command center, the cadets are still arguing when Commander Cruger walks in. Commander Cruger shows them a hologram of the new weapons Kat had design and tells them it the closest they will get to it, as it has been stolen by Stench. The cadets continued blaming each other. Commander Cruger has had enough with the cadets and is tired of their bickering. Commander Cruger sends them off to another planet to see a friend of his. The following day, Z pilots the ship that takes them to another planet. Right before they land, Z encounters problems with the ship and they crash on the planet. The cadets survive the crash and begin walking around. They are suddenly fired upon by a S.P.D. vehicle. The cadets position themselves as the firing stops and the S.P.D. vehicle stops. The cadets are stunned by Sergeant Silverback emerges from the vehicle.
Sergeant Silverback begins to chew out the cadets, promising that at the end of their training, they will not like him. Jack replies that they already don't and earns 100 pushups. Sergeant Silverback continues to chew out the cadets and then leaves in his vehicle. Within moments the cadets are surrounded by Krybots. The cadets begin to battle, but they are not working together and don't do very well against the Krybots. Sergeant Silverback watches in dismay from a distance. Eventually the simulation and the cadets realized that they were battling against very powerful simulated Krybots. The cadets continue to argue until another explosion sends them flying. Meanwhile, back at headquarters, Kat is listening to the message from Gamma Four and trying to make sense of it. Back on the planet, the cadets picks themselves up from the explosion. Syd and Z start arguing when Jack points out the huge creature making it's way towards them. No one listens to Bridge's suggestion that they run. The cadets suit up and face down the monster.
