Tommy had just barely been able to catch Kimberly before she had fainted.
"Billy, grab that apple. We'll have Alpha run a scan on it," Jason ordered.
"Affirmative," Billy agreed, doing as he was told.
"Is there anything we can do?" Skull asked. This is not good! She looked really bad! he thought to himself.
"Unfortunately, I don't think so," Billy replied.
"We'll finish cleaning up. You go get her some help," Bulk told them.
"We clear?" Jason asked and the others looked around.
"We're clear," Rocky assured. Then, they all teleported to the Command Center.
"Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi-y-yi-yi! Dudette in trouble! Dudette in trouble!" Alpha exclaimed, calling up the Command Center's medical chair which appeared almost instantly.
"Zordon, what have Rita and Zedd done to her?" Trini wondered as Tommy gently laid Kimberly in the chair.
"They were obviously inspired by your school play and used a poisonous apple to place Kimberly out of commission," Zordon answered. "The fact that our scanners and sensors didn't pick up the danger lead me to believe that Rita placed a spell on the apple to cloak the evil radiating from it," he continued.
"Great. Something tells me that it's not going to be as easy as true love's kiss breaking the spell," Tommy griped.
"Unfortunately, you are correct, Tommy," Zordon answered. Back on the moon, Rita cackled as Zedd came back out.
"What have you done, Rita?" he asked.
"I used the Power Brats' own play against them by creating a poisonous apple to knock the Pink Ranger off of her feet," she answered with a cackle.
"And what if they break the spell?" her husband demanded.
"Don't worry about that! I created the apple with my own magic which means that the antidote can only be found on my home planet. However, that place is so uninhabitable and hostile to the forces of good that that old goody-good Zordon will never let them make the journey to retrieve it," she answered with another cackle.
"What a lovely surprise, my Prickly Pear, but just to make sure that your plans aren't thwarted, we should send down a monster to distract the Rangers from helping young Kimberly," Zedd stated.
"Ah, yes. Good idea!" Rita agreed. "I'll have Finster create something right away, she continued. She then hurried to Finster's lab. "Finster, I need a monster to distract the Rangers from getting an antidote for Kimberly," she snapped.
"What kind of monster, O Vicious One?" Finster questioned.
"Something vicious and hideous that can make the Rangers squirm," Rita answered.
"If it pleases you, Empress, I just finished Kadeshen," Finster stated.
"Kadeshen? He's perfect! Put him in the Monster-Matic!" Rita ordered.
"Right away, Empress," Finster responded and did what he was told. There were whistles, clangs, and bangs, and moments later, Kadeshen, a short and fat troll wearing a gray suit holding a silver flute, appeared.
"Empress, what can I do for you?" he asked in a raspy voice.
"You will go to Earth and use your magic to place Angel Grove under your spell," she told him.
"Right away, Empress," he agreed with a bow. Then, he transported himself to Angel Grove Park. Once he landed, he raised the flute to his lips and began to play. Instantly, dreamlike music filled the air. All over the city, no matter what they were doing, as soon as anyone heard the tone, they stopped what they were doing and headed in the direction of the sound. Meanwhile, in the Command Center, the Rangers were all kneeling next to Kimberly as Alpha programmed the computer to run a scan on the apple Billy had brought.
"If the apple's what did this to Kim, can't you just destroy it?" Adam asked.
"It's unknown whether or not that would bring more harm to Kimberly," Alpha answered.
"She's just lying so still. Are you sure she's okay?" Tommy asked worriedly.
"Well, she's resting comfortably and all her vitals seem to check out, but…" Jason's voice trailed off and his eyes clouded with worry. "Zordon, is there anything we can do?" he questioned as he and the others stood up. Zordon was about to answer when the alarms blared.
"What's going on?" the Rangers wondered.
"Behold the Viewing Globe," Zordon told them and the Rangers turned to the screen. To their surprise, numerous numbers of citizens were walking down the streets, heading for the park as music faintly played in the background.
"Why does everyone look so strange? What's going on?" Rocky wondered.
"Oh, no! That's Angela!" Zack exclaimed.
"And Richie," Trini gasped.
"I fail to ascertain as to who or what could be causing them all to act in such an abnormal manner," Billy stated in confusion.
"You mean you can't tell us why they're all acting this way?" Adam asked.
"Precisely," Billy confirmed.
"And what is that sound?" Aisha wondered. Just then, the globe showed a short and fat troll in a gray suit playing a silver flute.
"Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi! That's Kadeshen!" Alpha yelped.
"The situation is grave indeed," Zordon stated.
"Who is he?" Rocky wondered.
"Kadeshen is a troll with surmountable power that comes from his flute," Zordon told them.
"So the music coming from his flute is probably what's causing everyone to come to him. Kind of like a Pied Piper thing," Jason surmised.
"You are correct, Jason," Zordon confirmed.
"Well, we have to stop him," Trini determined.
"But what about Kim? We can't just leave her like this," Tommy objected.
"He's right," Jason agreed. "Zordon, how do we help her?" he questioned. Just then, the computer beeped and a small sheet of paper came out. Oh, good. It's found something, he thought to himself as he took the paper and looked at it.
"Well, what does it say?" Tommy pressed.
"It's indicating that the magic originated from a planet known as Jatthrax and the antidote is some kind of potion known as…uh-I-can't even pronounce it," Jason answered as he showed it to the others.
"Jatthrax? Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi!" Alpha exclaimed.
"Where's that?" Adam wondered.
"It's Rita's home planet and is very hostile towards the forces of good," Zordon told them.
"It doesn't matter. We have to take that risk," Tommy insisted, looking at the paper and then back at Zordon.
"Normally, I would disagree, however, I fear that you are correct," Zordon replied.
"All right, Tommy and Zack will go to Jatthrax to get the antidote and the rest of us will handle Kadeshen," Jason announced, handing the paper to Tommy.
"Right," the others agreed.
"Alpha, you'll watch Kim?" Tommy questioned.
"Of course," Alpha replied.
"It's morphin' time!" Jason shouted.
"Tigerzord!" Tommy summoned
"Drago!" Adam called.
"Stega!" Aisha yelled.
"Brachio!" Rocky yelled.
"Mastodon!" Zack cried.
"Triceratops!" Billy hailed.
"Saber-toothed Tiger!" Trini exclaimed.
"Tyrannosaurus!" Jason finished. Once they were morphed, the Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, and Purple Rangers landed in Angel Grove while the White and Black Rangers were teleported to Jatthrax.
"Good luck Rangers and may the Power protect you."
