On Friday, September 12th, Tommy is seated at his desk, going over some papers. Tommy is wearing a black and green striped long-sleeved shirt over a white shirt with a black stripe across the chest, black pants with a green stripe down each pant leg, white socks and black sneakers. He hears a knock on the door and he sets his papers down. Tommy turns to see Ionisos, in civilian clothes, walk into the room and Tommy beams a smile at his friend.

TOMMY: "Hi, Mr. Olsen. How's your day been?"

IONISOS: "Great, thanks, Tommy. I just got your work schedule for next week."

Ionisos sets the paper down on Tommy's desk and Tommy smiles at him.

TOMMY: "Thanks, man. Say, the gang and I were going to the Angel Grove Fair tomorrow and see if we can help raise the money for the Fisher Homeless Shelter. Did you want to join us?"

IONISOS: "Sure, that sounds great. I've got some work to finish. Have a good night, Tommy."

TOMMY: "Thanks, man. See you later."

Ionisos nods. He turns and walks out of the room. Tommy smiles to himself and he continues grading the papers. The day had been going pretty well so far, and after going a full day without a monster attack, he hoped it would stay that way.


On the balcony of the Lunar Palace, Rita Repulsa looks at the Earth with her telescope. Lord Zedd stands near his wife, clutching his Z-staff with his left hand. Rita cackles as she looks away from her telescope. A nasty new plan had just sprung to mind, one that might rid her of the Rangers for good.

RITA: "I think we've given those Power Punks a long enough rest! I've just come up with a plan to finally get rid of them!"

Zedd simply groans in response. How many times had one of them said that before?

ZEDD: "You've had two strikes already with Bones and Pudgy Pig. Why go for three? I can come up with a plan to get rid of them just as easily."

Rita looks over at Zedd with an amused smile.

RITA: "Some other time, Zeddy! I've got to go see Finster to get my plan working!"

ZEDD: "You're seeing Finster to make your plan work? It's already doomed to fail!"

RITA: "Quiet, you clod! You'll see! I'll get rid of those Power Rangers yet!"

Rita walks off the balcony and into the throne room. It was time to start her next plan.


Back in the Angel Grove Plaza, Jason walks into the Juice Bar, dressed in a white T-shirt with red sleeves, a black belt with a gold buckle, red pants, socks and sneakers. He sees that Kat, Kimberly and Zack are already seated at the bar, all three in workout clothes. Jason sits next to Kimberly and she smiles at him.

KIMBERLY: "Hey, Jason."

Jason smiles and he kisses Kimberly on the lips. Zack and Kat exchange amused smiles and Kimberly ends the kiss. She smiles at Jason.

KIMBERLY: "Well, somebody's in a good mood."

JASON: "Sorry, I couldn't help it. It's just been a good day, that's all. My classes went great, I've got four new students joining next week..."

Jason notices Zack staring glumly across the room. Jason turns around to see what Zack is looking at. Angela has walked into the Juice Bar, wearing workout clothes and she stands waiting by the doorway. Zack frowns. This was the first he'd seen of her since having to cancel their last date due to being a Power Ranger.

ZACK: "Aw, man."

Jason looks over at Zack.

JASON: "Go on over and talk to her, man. Ask her out."

ZACK: "Yeah, 'cause I've only missed like the last two dates we tried to set up. Strike three and she can count me out."

KIMBERLY: "Don't presume she'll reject your proposal so quickly, she might say yes."

KAT: "Kimberly's right. Besides, you've got the whole night off. See if she'd like to out."

Zack looks over at Angela and he smiles at the sight of her. Maybe they were right. Maybe she'd hear him out this time. Zack looks at the others and he smiles.

ZACK: "Yeah, you're right. Y'all stay here and chill. I'll go over and talk to Angela."

Zack walks over and he goes to Angela. He smiles at her, though Angela doesn't look too happy to see him.

ZACK: "Hey, Angela. You got a second?"

ANGELA: "What is it, Zack?"

ZACK: "It's been a while since we last saw each other. What do you say we go out tonight, maybe grab a bite to eat?"

ANGELA: "No, thanks, Zack. I'd rather go out with someone that won't leave me ten minutes into the meal, or actually show up when we make a date."

Angela starts to walk off, but Zack quickly steps in front of her.

ZACK: "Whoa, wait a second. I messed up, I know that. I'm sorry. Let me make it up to you. Whatever you want, the Zack man's buying."

ANGELA: "With what, Monopoly money?"

ZACK: "I'm serious. Come on, what do you say?"

Angela pauses for a few moments. Zack starts to smile. Maybe she was reconsidering. Zack's smile widens when he sees Angela smile.

ANGELA: "Charlie!"

ZACK: "Charlie?"

Zack turns around and he sees the man behind him that Angela was looking at. Walking over to join them is an African-American man about Zack's age, lean-muscled and he is wearing a business suit and glasses - CHARLIE FOX.

CHARLIE: "Hi, Angela. Ready to go to dinner?"

ANGELA: "You bet. See you later, Zack."

Angela and Charlie walk over to the exit. The other three Rangers watch Angela leave and then they look over at Zack. He shakes his head.

ZACK: "Aw, man."

Zack walks over and he goes back to his stool at the bar. Zack sits and hangs his head.

ZACK: "I can't believe Angela's seeing another guy. All the times I had to cancel on her because of... y' know. Work."

JASON: "Sorry, Zack. We know how much you like Angela, but it's not like you could ignore being called away. We all made a promise and you've been a big help to us, man."

ZACK: "Yeah, I know."

Bulk and Skull walk up from behind the bar, wearing their work clothes.

BULK: "Hey, guys. Would you like to order anything?"

ZACK: "Not right now. Thanks though, Bulk. Be right back, guys."

Zack gets up from his stool and he walks to the hall. Bulk and Skull watch Zack leave, then they glance at one another in confusion and then they look at Jason, Kimberly and Kat.

BULK: "What's with him?"

SKULL: "Yeah, what's with him?"

Irritated by his friend's repeated question, Bulk promptly elbows Skull to shut him up.

KIMBERLY: "Zack tried to make amends with Angela over a romantic engagement, but was dejected to learn she'd already made an appointment with another suitor."

The duo glance at one another, confused by her response, and they look back at Kimberly.

BULK AND SKULL: "Say what?"

KAT: "Zack tried to ask out Angela to dinner, but she made plans with another guy."

KIMBERLY: "That was my explanation."

BULK: "Yeah, but Kat said it in English. All those years listening to Billy really rubbed off on you, huh?"

Kimberly smirks. She still hadn't quite gotten the hang out of slipping out of the kind of techno-babble that Billy used to say.

KIMBERLY: "You could say that. While we're waiting to order, can I have a large Coke, please?"

BULK: "Comin' right up!"

Bulk walks off to get a large cup and get her order.


In the Lunar Palace, Rita is in Finster's workshop. She watches as Finster opens up the microwave-shaped Power Machine and he puts a clay model of Knasty Knight inside, which has a sword accessory in one hand and a shield accessory in the other.

FINSTER: "I've sent the Power Machine's levels to high. You made a wise selection in choosing Knasty Knight again, my queen."

Finster closes the Power Machine door and he pushes a few buttons to activate it as Rita lets out a gleeful grin.

Finster points to the tray on the conveyor belt, where twenty Putties are set on the tray.

RITA: "He did a good job against the Rangers before, but this time, he's got to be even meaner and nastier than before. While he's getting upgraded, send down some Putties to keep the Rangers occupied!"

FINSTER: "I anticipated you'd want some made and I've already set some on the conveyor belt."

RITA: "Excellent! Get them ready!"

FINSTER: "As you wish, my queen."

Finster turns the wheel, moving the Putties into the Monster Matic machine and he closes the doors behind the tray. Finster pulls back a lever, activating the Monster Matic and smoke spews from the exhaust pipe while it's on. Smoke spews out of the exit tube as the Putties drop down out of the tube, one by one.

RITA: "All right, Putties, go get them!"


Within the Juice Bar and diner, Kimberly and Kat are still seated on their stools at the bar, but Jason has left. Bulk and Skull walk off to tend to a newly-seated customer, while Kimberly sips from her cup of soda. Kimberly spots Jason as he walks back into the room and he sits on the stool beside her.

KIMBERLY: "Where's Zack? Is he all right?"

JASON: "He'll be fine. I bumped into him in the hall a few minutes ago. He said he was going to take off and get his head together. I think seeing Angela with another guy really bummed him out."

KIMBERLY: "Well, that's understandable. Zack has always adored Angela, even back when we were adolescents. Maybe we can cheer him up."

Jason's communicator beeps its musical melody. The three Rangers exchange grim looks.

JASON: "That'll have to wait. Let's see what's up."

Kimberly and Kat get up from their stools. They follow Jason into the hallway and Jason taps the talk button of his communicator.

JASON: "Come in, Zordon."


Inside the Command Center, the alarms are going off loudly. Zordon and Alpha 5 look at the Viewing Globe, which shows Putty Patrollers running loose in the park.

ZORDON: "Rangers, our sensors indicate a large group of Putties have been sent down to Angel Grove Park. You must go down and stop them."


At the Juice Bar's hallway, the Rangers exchange grim looks. So much for having a nice, quiet day off from trouble. Jason looks back at his communicator as he taps the talk button.

JASON: "Zack's not with us, but we'll go take care of those clay-brains."


Back in the Command Center, Alpha 5 walks over to a control console and he starts pushing buttons as Zordon speaks to the Rangers.

ZORDON: "We'll try to get in touch with Zack for you. Go on ahead."

ALPHA 5: "I'm contacting Tommy and Ethan now, Zordon."


Inside the Angel Grove High School, Tommy walks down the hallway with Ethan. Ethan is dressed in a gray shirt, denim jeans, socks and sneakers. Before Tommy can push the door open to leave, Tommy's communicator goes off and the two men look around. Tommy sees they're alone and he taps the talk button of his communicator.

TOMMY: "This is Tommy, I read you."

ALPHA 5 (on communicator): "Tommy, there's a Putty attack in progress in Angel Grove Park! The other Rangers will meet you there."

TOMMY: "Got it. We're on our way, Alpha."

Tommy and Ethan look around and they find they're alone. Tommy and Ethan tap their communicators' teleport button and they teleport out in beams of green and blue energy, respectively.


The five Rangers beam down and they arrive in far side of Angel Grove Park, which faces the rock quarry. The Rangers look around the area and they see no one is there.

KAT: "Do you guys see them?"

TOMMY: "Keep your eyes open. They're here somewhere."

The Rangers walk forward down the park, looking around but still keeping their guard up. They step back as fifteen classic Putty Patrollers flip through the air, one by one. The Putties land on the ground and they circle around the Rangers.

ETHAN: "Looks like they found us!"

JASON: "Let's take these doughboys down, guys!"

TOMMY: "Gotcha, bro!"

The Rangers split up into different directions and they proceed to fight with the Putties.

Near a tall tree, Jason throws a side kick that knocks Putty #1 on the stomach and he stumbles back. Jason turns, he elbow blocks Putty #2's haymaker and retaliates with a jab to the stomach. Jason then knocks Putty #2 down with a spinning heel kick. Jason turns to see Putty #1 has recovered and he charges at Jason, but he throws a back kick with his right foot that hits the Putty's gut and knocks him down. Jason faces forward and he sees Putty #3 moving in to attack. Putty #3 throws a punch that Jason blocks, he knocks Putty #3 back with a knee to the stomach and then Jason lets loose a spinning back-fist that knocks Putty #3 aside.

On the sidewalk, Ethan ducks under Putty #4's spinning heel kick and as the Putty lands on the ground, Ethan crouches and retaliates with a foot-sweep kick. Putty #4 is knocked to the ground and as Ethan stands, he sees Putty #5 moving in and he throws a punch at Ethan. Ethan dodges the punch, he counters with a side kick that knocks Putty #5 back and then he knocks the Putty down with a high kick to the face. Ethan turns to see Putty #6 let loose a jump kick that hits Ethan's stomach and he stumbles back. Putty #6 attempts another punch, but Ethan lets loose a kick to the chest that knocks Putty #6 away.

Near a set of bushes, Kat fights with Putty #7. She elbow-blocks Putty #7's haymaker and she counters with a heel kick to the stomach, making the Putty stumble back. Kat then knocks Putty #7 down with a kick to the chest and she turns around to see Putty #8. The Putty kicks at Kat, but he blocks the kick and lets loose a side kick to the stomach. Kat knocks Putty #8 aside with a back-fist and she sees Putty #9 moving in to attack. Putty #9 kicks Kat's ribs, making her stumble back, and Putty #9 lets loose a right hook. Kat grabs the Putty by the arm and she throws him over the bushes, making him crash land on the ground.

Meanwhile, Kimberly performs a series of back-handsprings as Putty #10 charges at her. At the end of the fifth handspring, Kimberly lets loose a front handspring with her legs together and she hits Putty #10 on the chest with both feet. Putty #10 is knocked back and he hits the ground, while Kimberly lands on her feet and faces Putty #11. She slaps away Putty #11's high kick, dodges Putty #11's left hook and she knocks the Putty away with a haymaker. Kimberly turns to see Putty #12 charging and he punches at her, but Kimberly dodges. The Putty attempts another punch, but Kimberly catches his wrist and she flips the Putty over, making him land on his back.


Back on the moon, Rita walks back into Finster's workshop as Finster sets the Knasty Knight monster on the conveyor belt.

RITA: "Hurry up, Finster! The Rangers are beating up the Putties!"

FINSTER: "Don't worry, my queen. The Knasty Knight is almost ready. Observe."

Baboo and Squatt watch through the doorway curiously, catching a glimpse of the clay monster on the conveyor belt.

SQUATT: "Hey, look! It's the Knasty Knight!"

Finster wheels the clay model into the Monster Matic, he closes its doors and he pulls the lever back and then forth. Smoke rises from the exhaust pipe while the Monster Matic is on. Seconds later, the exit tube spits out smoke and Knasty Knight stands under the tube, holding up his sword and shield.

BABOO: "Oh, gosh! He looks even nastier than he did before!"

RITA: "You're getting a second chance, Knight! Don't blow it this time!"

KNASTY KNIGHT: "I assure you, my queen, I will destroy those Rangers for you and then the world will be yours!"

Knasty Knight vanishes, teleporting away.


In a different part of Angel Grove Park, Zack walks over to a pond with his hands in his pockets. Zack watches as a few people walk by and then he continues to walk forward. Zack stops as he hears his communicator beep.

ZACK: "Aw, man. What else could go wrong today?"

Zack is about to talk into his communicator when Knasty Knight appears and he lands on a sidewalk in the park.

KNASTY KNIGHT: "It's been a long time, Ranger!"

As Zack taps the talk button, he turns around and gets into a fighting stance as he sees Knasty Knight ahead.

ZACK: "Aw, man! Not you again!"

KNASTY KNIGHT: "I assure you this will be the last time we'll ever meet!"

Knasty Knight aims his sword at Zack and he shoots a series of fiery blasts. Zack somersaults aside and the blasts hit the ground with a burst of sparks.

ZACK: "It's Morphin' Time!"

Zack holds out his Power Morpher, he pushes the side button with his thumb. The Morpher's case pops open to become active and its center red layer flashes with red LED lights.

ZACK: "Mastodon!"

Now fully morphed into his Black Ranger uniform, Zack reaches behind his back and he pulls out his Power Axe.

BLACK RANGER: "You picked the wrong day to mess with me, ugly!"

Knasty Knight aims his sword and he fires more energy blasts at Black Ranger, but he leaps into the air and dodges them. Black Ranger lands from his leap near Knasty Knight and the two prepare to battle. Black Ranger blocks the Knight's sword with his Axe, but Knasty Knight kicks Black Ranger in the stomach and knocks him back. He slashes his sword against Black Ranger, raising sparks as he stumbles back, and then he slashes his sword at Black Ranger's neck. Black Ranger ducks and rolls under the sword attack. He turns around, getting to one knee.

BLACK RANGER: "Aw, man! This guy's tougher than I remember!"

Knasty Knight turns and slashes his sword at Black Ranger, but he blocks it with his Axe. Black Ranger pushes the blade back with his Axe, but Knasty Knight follows up with a slash to Black Ranger's chest which raises sparks. Black Ranger recovers and he slashes the Knight's side with his Axe, making him stumble back. Knasty Knight recovers and charges at Black Ranger again.


Elsewhere in the park, the Rangers continue to fight with the Putties.

Near a tree, Tommy backflips away from the approaching Putty #13, and then after he lands, he lets loose a spinning heel kick that knocks Putty #13 aside. As the Putty hits the grass, Tommy turns to the charging Putty #14 and he blocks its left cross. The Putty lets loose a right hook, but Tommy ducks under it and he lets loose a foot-sweep kick that Putty #14 jumps over. The Putty lands on his feet and as Tommy gets up, he lets loose an uppercut under Putty #14's chin that knocks him down. Tommy turns to see Putty #15 is approaching fast and he kicks at Tommy's chest, but he catches the Putty's foot and he lets loose a spinning heel kick that knocks Putty #15 down to the ground.

Meanwhile, Putty #12 holds Kimberly by her arms from behind and she struggles in his grip to get loose. She looks over at Jason, who fights Putty #11. Kimberly stomps on the Putty's foot, making him let her go.

KIMBERLY: "Jason! Coming at you!"

Jason looks over and sees Kimberly grab the Putty's arm. Kimberly spins around and throws Putty #12 at Jason's direction. With a smirk, Jason catches Putty #11's haymaker and he throws the Putty away, right at Putty #12. The two Putties crash into one another and both hit the ground. Jason and Kimberly get into fighting stances and they look around, noticing the other Rangers have defeated their Putties. The fifteen defeated Putties disappear, teleporting away.

KAT: "Is everybody okay?"

The Rangers nods. Jason's communicator beeps. He pushes the talk button.

JASON: "Come in, Zordon."

ZORDON (on communicator): "Rangers, Rita has brought back one of her old monsters, the Knasty Knight, and he is attacking Zack. You must help him."

JASON: "We're on our way."

The Rangers reach behind their backs for their Power Morphers.

JASON: "It's Morphin Time!"

The Rangers hold out their Morphers and they push the side button to make their Morpher case pop open.

TOMMY: "Dragonzord!"

KIMBERLY: "Pterodactyl!"

ETHAN: "Triceratops!"

KAT: "Saber-Toothed Tiger!"

JASON: "Tyrannosaurus!"

A fiery-red grid suddenly appears over Jason's head and it splits vertically to create the Red Ranger helmet, changing him into his Ranger form.


Elsewhere in the park, Black Ranger is still in battle with the Knasty Knight, with mild burns on the chest diamond of his suit from the previous hits he's taken. Black Ranger kicks at Knasty Knight's chest, but he blocks the kick with his shield and then he sparkly slashes Black Ranger's chest. Black Ranger stumbles back, but he recovers and dodges Knasty Knight's sword slash attack. Black Ranger blocks Knasty Knight's next sword attack with his Axe and he knocks Knasty Knight back with a kick to the chest. Knasty Knight then shoots red beams from his eyes that hit Black Ranger and he hits the ground rolling.

KNASTY KNIGHT: "After I finish you, your friends are next!"

Red Ranger flips through the air and jump-kicks Knasty Knight's stomach. The monster stumbles back, but he recovers and he sees the other Rangers run over to join Black Ranger. Red Ranger helps him up to his feet.

RED RANGER: "You okay, bro?"

BLACK RANGER: "I am now."

GREEN RANGER: "You want us, Knasty Knight? You've got us!"

Knasty Knight charges at the Rangers and they reach behind their backs, pulling out their Power Weapons. Green Ranger, however, draws his Dragon Dagger from his belt's holster and the six Rangers return the charge. Red Ranger moves in first, slashing his sword at Knasty Knight, but he blocks it with his sword and then knocks Red Ranger away by sparkly slashing his chest. Pink Ranger moves in next, successfully kicking Knasty Knight's stomach. Pink Ranger tries another kick, but Knasty Knight blocks it with his shield and sparkly slashes her chest with his sword. As Pink Ranger hits the ground rolling, Blue Ranger moves in and hits at Knasty Knight with his Power Lance. Knasty Knight blocks the Lance with his Axe and then he blocks Blue Ranger's next Lance attack with his sword. He kicks Blue Ranger's stomach and then Knasty Knight sparkly slashes him, knocking Blue Ranger aside.

Yellow Ranger runs up and slashes at Knasty Knight with one Power Dagger, but he dodges it. She slashes her other Power Dagger at Knasty Knight, but he blocks it with his shield and he sparkly slashes her chest with his sword. Yellow Ranger is knocked aside and Black Ranger moves in, kicking Knasty Knight on the ribs. Knasty Knight stumbles back, but he recovers and blocks Black Ranger's Axe attack with his sword. Knasty Knight pushes the Axe away with his sword and he sparkly slashes Black Ranger with his blade, knocking Black Ranger aside and he hits the ground. Green Ranger is the last to move in, kicking at Knasty Knight's chest, but he blocks the kick with his shield. Knasty Knight slashes Green Ranger's Dragon Shield with his sword and Green Ranger stumbles back, but he recovers.

GREEN RANGER: "That's it!"

He attempts a slash with his Dragon Dagger that Knasty Knight blocks with his sword, creating bursts of yellow energy and blue electricity as the weapons lock. Green Ranger pushes the sword away with his Dagger and he sparkly slashes Knasty Knight's chest. Green Ranger tries again, but Knasty Knight blocks the Dagger with his sword and he sparkly slashes Green Ranger, knocking him back. Knasty Knight slashes Green Ranger again, raising sparks off his Dragon Shield, and he hits the ground rolling. The other Rangers regroup around him and Green Ranger gets to one knee.

RED RANGER: "Tommy, are you okay?"

GREEN RANGER: "Yeah, I'll be fine."

Green Ranger looks at his Dragon Dagger, noticing that the blade has been corroded and burnt. Smoke rises from his damaged Dagger.

GREEN RANGER: "Aw, man! He ruined the Dragon Dagger!"

BLACK RANGER: "That's what he does. Whatever energy we use, he throws it back at us and ruins our weapons."

KNASTY KNIGHT: "Speaking of energy..."

Knasty Knight charges his sword with energy, he aims the blade at the Rangers and rapidly fires red energy blasts from the blade. The blasts hit the Rangers with a burst of sparks, knocking them down. Red Ranger is the first to get up and he holds up his Power Sword.

RED RANGER: "Leave them alone, Knasty Knight!"

Red Ranger leaps ahead and slashes his sword down at Knasty Knight, hitting down his chest with a burst of sparks. Knasty Knight stumbles back and Red Ranger attempts another slash with his sword, but Knasty Knight blocks it with his own sword and the blade of the Power Sword becomes corroded by the energy from Knight's sword. Knasty Knight knocks Red Ranger back with a kick to the gut, but he recovers and he quickly blocks Knasty Knight's next sword slash attack with his Power Sword. Knasty Knight quickly slashes his sword again and he sparkly hits Red Ranger across the chest. Red Ranger hits the ground rolling and stops near his teammates.

BLUE RANGER: "Jason! Are you okay?"

RED RANGER: "Guys, look out!"

The other Rangers see Knasty Knight has aimed his sword skyward. Bolts of blue lightning shoot down, charging the sword, and he aims it at the Rangers. Knasty Knight shoots lightning bolts from the blade and at the Rangers.

BLACK RANGER: "Hey, he couldn't do that before!"

GREEN RANGER: "Finster must've given him an upgrade since you last saw him!"

Knasty Knight's sword then charges with fiery energy and he runs by each Ranger at super-speed, fading and blurred as if he were caught in a strobe light. Knasty Knight slashes each Ranger on the chest with his charged sword, one by one, and he knocks each Ranger to the ground - first Pink, then Black, Yellow, Blue, Red and Green. Knasty Knight slows down and stops, standing in front of the fallen Rangers. Knasty Knight holds up the blade of his sword and he chuckles with evil glee.


On the palace balcony, Rita and Domminnous watches through their telescopes and Zedd watches with his telescopic eyebeam. Rita cackles with evil glee, overjoyed at the monster's performance.

RITA: "Excellent! He's working out even better than I imagined!"

DOMMINNOUS: "While fun watching your monster pummel those Rangers, I'd say it's time he finish them off!"

Rita holds up her Magic Wand, beaming a pleased smile.

RITA: "I agree! Magic Wand! Make my monster GROW!"

Rita throws her Magic Wand at the Earth and it magically heads towards Angel Grove.


The Magic Wand drops down from space, landing in the ground by the park and the Wand shoots a red beam into the ground. The ground opens up a chasm, making smoke come out and causing Knasty Knight to grow giant-sized. The Rangers quickly move back.

BLACK RANGER: "Let's finish this creep off!"

RED RANGER: "Right!"

The Rangers, except Green, raise their right hands skyward.

ALL FIVE RANGERS: "We need Dinozord power, NOW!"

Green Ranger holds up his Dragon Dagger.

GREEN RANGER: "I need Dragonzord power!"

Green Ranger holds his Dragon Dagger like a flute and plays the Dragonzord fanfare tune.

Seconds later, the five Dinozords head towards the Rangers and the Dragonzord is following closely behind them.

RED RANGER: "Let's do it!"

Red Ranger leaps up into the air, followed by the Yellow and Pink Rangers and then the Black and Blue Rangers. Each Ranger lands in their Zord's cockpit, one by one, and they press their hands down on the buttons of their Zord's control console after they sit.

RED RANGER: "Log on!"

BLACK RANGER: "Zack here, movin' to the groove!"

BLUE RANGER: "Ethan here, powering up!"

YELLOW RANGER: "Kat here, logging on!"

PINK RANGER: "Kim here, ready to rock!"

Red Ranger has created his Red Power Crystal with his Power Coin and he holds it up.

RED RANGER: "Sync up!"

Red Ranger inserts his Red Power Crystal into his console's outlet. The other four Rangers do the same.

FOUR RANGERS: "Two, one, power up!"

RED RANGER: "Switch it to Megazord power!"

The Zords draw together and combine to the Tyrannosaurus in their usual formation, with Saber-Toothed Tiger as Megazord's right leg, Triceratops as the left leg and the Mastodon connects to form the back and arms. The Tyrannosaurus stands up to become Megazord.

COMPUTER VOICE: "Megazord sequence has been initiated!"

As the Tyrannosaurus' head moves into the chest compartment and reveals Megazord's head, the Pterodactyl flies and becomes the Megazord's chestplate. Megazord's horns connect to the sides of its head, completing the change.

COMPUTER VOICE: "Megazord activated!"

Inside the Megazord's cockpit, the Rangers are seated at their usual stations. Red Ranger looks over at Pink Ranger.

RED RANGER: "Kim, get the power cells online! We need to be able to absorb Knasty Knight's energy and use it back on him!"

PINK RANGER (nodding): "On it!"

Knasty Knight charges at the two Zords and Megazord steps forward, moving in to attack first. Megazord blocks Knasty Knight's sword slash attack and retaliates with a punch to Knasty Knight's chest. Knasty Knight stumbles back, but is unhurt. Megazord attempts a kick that Knasty Knight blocks with his shield and he knocks Megazord back by sparkly slashing the chestplate armor. Knasty Knight charges his sword with lightning, he aims its sword at Megazord and shoots a lightning blast from it. The blast hits Megazord with a series of sparks and Megazord stumbles back, knocked off-balance.

Dragonzord moves in front of Megazord and whips its tail at Knasty Knight, but he blocks the attack with his shield. Knasty Knight retaliates by sparkly slashing Dragonzord across the chest with his sword and then Knasty Knight kicks Dragonzord, knocking the Zord back.

GREEN RANGER: "Dragonzord, use your missiles!"

Green Ranger plays a tune on his Dragon Dagger. Missiles appear in Dragonzord's fingertips and then they shoot out at Knasty Knight. Knasty Knight holds out his shield and the missiles hit them instead, creating sparks as they explode. Knasty Knight aims his sword and he shoots a series of fiery blasts that hit Dragonzord, knocking the Zord back.

BLACK RANGER: "We'll need some protection! Time for the Mammoth Shield!"

The Mastodon Zord's head appears over Megazord's left hand, serving as the Mammoth Shield. Knasty Knight fires more blasts from his sword at Dragonzord. Megazord steps forward and deflects the blasts with a burst of sparks with the Shield.

PINK RANGER: "The power cells are fully charged. We need to get within closer range to redirect his energy."

RED RANGER: "Then let's get closer! Tommy, get ready to move in on my mark! We need the Mega Power Sword! Now!"

The Power Sword drops from the sky, landing with the blade stabbed into the ground. Megazord grabs the sword's hilt, it pulls the sword out of the ground and Megazord walks forward to Knasty Knight. Knasty Knight strikes at Megazord with his sword, but Megazord blocks it with its own and the contact causes Megazord's sword to glow dimly. Knasty Knight tries another sword slash attack, but Megazord quickly blocks the blade with the Power Sword and the Power Sword's blade glows brighter. Knasty Knight notices the blade of Megazord's sword is glowing.

KNASTY KNIGHT: "What the -?"

RED RANGER: "Rita should've given you some more new tricks, Knasty Knight! Kim, use the laser now!"

PINK RANGER: "Affirmative!"

Megazord shoots a beam from its cranial laser that hits Knasty Knight's chest with a burst of sparks. Stunned by the hit, Megazord uses the opportunity to push Knasty Knight's sword back with its own and then Megazord slashes the Mega Power Sword down. The slash chops the blade of Knasty Knight's sword in half at the middle. Megazord then kicks its right Saber-Toothed Tiger leg at Knasty Knight's stomach and the kick knocks him back. Another kick to Knasty Knight's chest makes him drop his shield.

RED RANGER: "Tommy, now!"

GREEN RANGER: "Got it!"

Green Ranger plays a tune on his Dagger flute and missiles appear in Dragonzord's fingertips once more. Knasty Knight recovers and is about to move forward when he sees Dragonzord fire the missiles. The missiles hit Knasty Knight's chest with a burst of sparks and he hits the ground rolling. Knasty Knight gets up to his feet, clutching his chest.

RED RANGER: "Let's finish this!"

Megazord's eyes flash with yellow light as it lifts the Power Sword up into the air. Reddish bolts of lightning shoot down from the clouds and into the Power Sword, energizing the blade. When the blade is fully charged, Megazord then slashes the Power Sword down and at Knasty Knight. KNASTY KNIGHT SCREAMS as he's hit by the sword's energy and he hit knocks him back. As he hits the ground, Knasty Knight vanishes in a massive explosion.

GREEN RANGER: "All right! Morphinomenal!"


Inside the throne room of the Lunar Palace, Domminnous stands near the balcony, with a bottle of aspirin in his hands. Rita and Zedd exit the balcony, enraged. Rita shrieks in anger as Domminnous opens the bottle.

RITA: "I don't believe it! They beat the Knasty Knight again!"

Domminnous hands the open aspirin bottle to Rita.

DOMMINNOUS: "Let me guess." (mockingly) "You've got such a headache?"

Rita angrily slaps the bottle out of Domminnous' hand, much to his surprise.

RITA: "Oh, shut up! The only thing I want is Finster's head on a platter!"

Rita quickly storms across the room to the doorway, heading fast for Finster's workshop.

RITA: "Finster! Wait till I get my hands on you, you dog-faced dingbat!"


Later that night in the gymnasium of the Angel Grove Plaza, Zack is standing at a punching bag in workout clothes. He is sweating from his workout and he performs a series of jabs and cross punches to the punching bag. He doesn't notice Jason walk into the room.

JASON: "Zack?"

Zack stops punching and he looks over at Jason.

JASON (cont'd): "Have you got a minute?"

Zack nods at Jason, panting. He forces a smile.

ZACK: "Yeah, sure. What's up, man?"

JASON: "Nothing much. I just saw Kim leave with Kat, they're going out shopping. I was going to go with Tommy and Ethan to the movies. You want to come along?"

Zack gives Jason a sad smile and he shakes his head.

ZACK: "I think I'm just going to hang out here for a while. You know, get some training done and have some time alone. No hard feelings?"

JASON: "Of course not. If you need anything though, just let me know."

ZACK: "I appreciate that, Jase. I..."

Zack looks away for a second. Zack heaves a sigh and then he looks over at Jason.

ZACK: "I just can't believe she's seeing another guy. Spending time with her, getting to know each other again... it felt like old times. I thought this time would be different, you know? Maybe this time, I'd actually show up for our dates. Except..."

Zack looks at his communicator and he frowns. He looks back at Jason.

ZACK: "Well, you know."

JASON: "I get it. I know how much you want to be with Angela, man. And having to get called away when you're trying to spend time with her really is like old times."

Zack chuckles and he nods. Zack looks past Jason and his smile fades. Jason looks concerned as Zack frowns.

JASON: "Zack?"

Jason turns around and he looks at the doorway. He sees Angela in the hallway, talking with Charlie, but they're too far to hear. Angela smiles and she nods at Charlie. Angela walks off with Charlie down the hallway and Jason looks at Zack.

JASON: "Sorry, man."

ZACK: "I always wanted Angela to be happy. Just didn't think she would be with another guy. I appreciate you checking up on me, Jase, but..."

JASON: "No, it's cool. You need time alone. But if you need anything, you let us know."

ZACK: "I will, Jase. Thanks, man."

Jason smiles and he nods. The two bump fists and Jason walks off to the door, waving. Zack waves at Jason and he watches him leave. Despite Jason's concern, Zack couldn't help but frown. He'd finally started catching up with her again. Things were going good for a change. But once again, his duties as a Power Ranger had gotten in the way of their relationship. However, this time was different. Angela wasn't going to put up with his excuses and missed dates. She'd started seeing someone else. This time, he might have actually lost her for good to another guy. Having a relationship wasn't easy. Especially when Power Morphers and Evil Space Aliens are involved.

Zack sighs and he looks back at the punching bag. He glumly punches the punching bag once, pushing it back a little.

ZACK: "Looks like it's just you and me."

Zack gets in a fighting stance and he resumes his training, letting loose a double-punch combo to the punching bag and then knocking it back with a heel kick.
