A couple of weeks after Tommy's cousin Josh moved to Angle Grove, the rangers, Bulk, and Skull were in a plane about to parachute. The rangers did this to raise money for an observatory. They were excited while Bulk and Skull were their usual selves. The rangers wore suits of white and their respective color.
"Ye haw we're out of here," Rocky said.
"Easy Rocky," Kim said.
"Ok guys we're fifty seconds from the drop zone," Tommy said.
The other rangers let out screams of excitement.
"All right pin heads, the Stealth Eagle is about to fly," Bulk said.
"Dito for the Swooping Swallow," Skull said.
Who invited them?Josh thought.
"Well lead on fly boys," Aisha said.
Bulk and Skull looked at each other, opened, the door, and looked down. The view from miles above scared them.
"That's a lot of air," Skull said.
"After you Skull," Bulk said.
"What are you crazy? This was your idea," Skull said.
"I think you guys are chicken," Josh said.
"Tommy tapped him on the shoulder and pointed to the parachutes.
"Hey guys," Kim said causing Bulk and Skull to turn around. "You might want to put those on," she said pointing the parachutes.
"Good idea," they said in unison.
"Alright guys, we're a few seconds away from the target zone. Aisha, your up," Billy said.
"Aisha said yes as she was about to jump out. She said something after she jumped out. Then Adam jumped, then Rocky, then Billy, then Josh made his jump.
Tommy and Kim both approached the door when Kim said to Tommy, "Show your stuff".
After Tommy jumped out Kim looked at Bulk and Skull and said, "Catch ya on the flip side."
Then she jumped joining the others who were doing all sorts of tricks. Tommy even had a board that he rode on that made it look like he was surfing in the air. A few minutes later, the rangers formed a circle while smiling at each other.
"Alright guys let's break," Tommy said.
The rangers separated from each other than they pulled their parachute cords. After the parachutes opened, almost everyone stopped doing their tricks. Tommy however, kept on his 'surfing'.
On the ground was an event with a man on a PA system saying, "With the arrival of Orion's comment two days away, Angle Grove's Jump-a-thon will bring new life in to the old observatory. Tickets to see the comet are at the fire station. Alright folks, raise your eyes to the sky. Here comes the team from Angel Grove High."
People were hollering and clapping before the rangers landed. Each of them had to touch a plastic target when they landed. First to land was Adam, right behind him was Billy, Kim landed next, then Josh, after him was Rocky, then Aisha came down right behind Rocky, after some fancy moves Tommy landed.
Show off. Josh thought before Tommy landed.
A young boy yelled, "YEAH GO TOMMY!"
The public address was talking while people were walking away. The boy ran towards Tommy, while his dad walked over to him. Tommy and the boy high-five each other.
"That was awesome," the boy said.
"Hey maybe next time you can join us," Tommy said.
The boy looked to his dad with big smile and said, "Can I?"
"Yeah well we'll talk about it Fred, in about ten to twelve years," Fred's dad said.
Tommy chuckled as Fred's dad turned to him and said, "Hey congratulations Tommy. The observatory just got a new lease on life."
"That's great," Tommy said.
"Awesome Orion's comet is passing in two days," Fred said.
The other rangers jogged over to the three.
"Guys we did it," Kim said.
"That was wonderful," Billy said.
The others were saying how great the even turned out.
Billy looked up and asked, "Has anyone see Bulk and Skull?"
"Even though I don't know them as well as you guys, my guess they are still up in the plane," Josh said.
Aisha made a joke about them probably landed on the roof of the Juice Bar. The two bullies finally jumped out of the plane, scared to death. After what seemed like forever, the two of them landed in a construction zone. A guy asked him what they were doing, which they acted like they were the real bosses and tried to give orders.
The rangers changed out of their jump suits and put on roller blades. They each did a stunt and took a short cut to the Juice Bar as Balk and Skull were landing. Not to far away, another man called the guy Bulk and Skull were talking to. All of the construction workers walked over to find what looked like a giant manhole cover with the face of a dragon like creature carved into it. Bulk and Skull arguged and walked away.
"What in the world is this?" One man asked.
Another man mumbled something, then the first guy said, "Let's get a crane in here."
Sometime later some workers strapped the cover to some straps and the crane lifted it up causing fog to rise up. To everyone's amazement, a giant hand, made of nickel, with a giant purple egg in the palm rose up.
"What is it?" A man asked.
Another man slowly walked towards it saying, "I... have... no...idea."
He went to touch it when a bolt of purple electricity shocked him and threw him back onto the ground. Everyone ran over to him. One guy asked him if he was alright.
Meanwhile, The rangers were rollerblading to the Juice Bar when their commutators beeped. When they all stopped Tommy pointed to a private spot. Once everyone got to the spot, Tommy spoke into his commutator and Asked Alpha what was going on.
"Rangers, Zordon needs you in the Command Center right way," Alpha said.
"We're on it," Tommy said.
They teleported there to find Alpha freaking out. Tommy asked him what the problem is. Alpha said a serge of energy was over loading the circuits.
It must be really strong if it can short circuit this place. Josh thought.
Zordon appeared saying, "Rangers, you must act swiftly. The planet is in grave danger."
"Danger from what?" Kim asked.
"6,000 years ago a morphalogical being know as Ivan Ooze ruled the world with a rein of un parallel terror. He was on the verge of completing his ultimate weapon, twin machines capable of enslaving the entire universe," Zordon said.
"What happened to him?" Billy asked.
"A group of warriors. Like yourselves, lured him into a hyper locked chamber and barred him deep under ground, but now the chamber has been accidentally uncovered. You must return it to its depths before it is opened and Ivan is unsealed," Zordon said.
"The machines were burred near the chamber if Ivan finds them he's sure to use them," Alpha added.
"Use extreme caution rangers, you are dealing with an evil here that is beyond all imagination," Zordon said.
Back at the construction site, the crew put yellow caution tape around the barrier. Security guards were called in to make sure nobody got close. One of the guards was asleep when another one came to send him home. Swirls of red light appeared behind them. Rita, Zedd, Goldar, and a pig like creature appeared.
"What, we came here for a stupid egg?" Rita asked.
"This is no ordinary egg," Zedd said.
"Well I say we hard-boiled this thing," Rita said.
"I'm with her, I'm hungry," the pig said.
"That's because you're a pig," Goldar hissed.
"The awake guard tried to wake the other one up until Zedd said, "No need to wake him, why don't you take a nap yourself."
He zapped the guard casing him to fall down un contentious.
"Ah after 2,000 years of searching, you are finally within my grasp, and now let's crack this egg," Zedd said.
He zapped the egg with his staff, causing the hand to let the egg out of it's hold. It cracked revealing a tub of purple slime.
"What you spent 2,000 years looking for this?" Rita asked.
"Patience my dear," Zedd said.
The slime grew turning into a purple alien creature, then it moaned and cracked his neck.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the ooze is back," the creature said.
"Yeah!" Goldar said.
"He's so hansom," Rita said.
"Why thank you, the creature said.
"I am Lord Zedd sworn enemy of all that is good and decent. It is a supreme honnr to finally meet you."
"How can I ever repay you?" The creature asked.
"Do you recall the name Zordon of Eltar?" Zedd asked.
The creature let out a yell, raised his hands, and streaks of purple energy shot from his figures. The pig mumbles I think he's heard of him.
"So now I want you to destroy Zordon, so my people can rein supreme," Zedd said.
"I will not only destroy him, I will obliterate his entire legacy. It'll be as Zordon of Eltar never existed," the creature said.
"Finally, a real man," Rita smirked.
Zedd growled and said, "Well then, we shall leave you to your evil ways, let's go Rita."
Zedd, Rita, Goldar, and the pig left. Ivan took a few sniffs.
"What is that odious stitch? It smells like... teenagers," the creature said.
A short time later, the rangers landed a few feat away. Tommy suggested where they should start looking. When they got to the egg the smell and slime freaked all of them out. Then a security guard put a hand on Tommy's shoulders.
"Hey, what are you kids doing here?" He asked.
"Um have you seen a morphalogical being running around here?" Kim asked.
Everyone had a look of confusion wondering why she ask about a morphalogical being.
I'm sure there's a better way to ask that question. Josh thought.
"Morphalogical being what the heck is that, wait did it look something like this?" The man turned into the purple creature.
The girls made noises of discuss when it replied, "To kind, let me introduce myself. I'm the glaxticly feared, globally revered, universally despised. They call me Ivan Ooze.
"Well pack your bags, we're going to send you back to where you came from," Rocky said.
"Well a teenager with a big mouth. Not much has changed in 6,000 years," Ivan said.
"You obviously don't know who your messing with raisin head," Kim hissed.
"Oh is that so," Ivan said.
"Yeah, we're the Power Rangers," Tommy said.
"Whoa where's my autograph book? Hah Power Rangers? So Zordon is still using a bunch of kids to do his dirty work? Well meet my kids," Ivan said.
He raised his hands and streaks of electricity shot to the ground. Slime appeared and rose up to formed purple creatures similar to him. Ivan laughted while the creatures made little noise and little movements.
"From this moment forth, the world as you know it shall cease to exists. Welcome to my nightmare," Ivan said before some laughter. "Bye Bye kids," he said before he left.
The creatures were heading towards the rangers when Kim asked, "What are we going to do?"
Billy looked down and said, "Looks like there's plenty of room down there."
They all jumped down to where they landed and started attacking Ivan's 'kids'.
Tommy picked up a shovel and said, "Welcome to my nightmare."
He spun it around like a staff. The others had some difficulty with their opponent. Josh, being the newest one, struggled mighty. Billy punch one of the creatures and found purple slime on his fist.
"You ooze you lose," he said.
Kim did some back flips to get away then Billy did the same. Rocky did a few kicks while Adam found himself on the wheel of a bull dozier and knocked one of the creatures out by opening the door. They got backed up behind a cliff. Tommy gave the orders to morph. Dunning the morph, the creatures disappeared.
"Where did they go?" Kim asked.
"This night keeps on getting strange," Josh said.
"Keep your eyes peeled," Adam said.
"Over there," Rocky said nodding to his right.
"Careful it could be a trap," Tommy said.
"Right everyone said in unison as they started to look around.
