On Wednesday, September 10th, Zack and Kimberly are already seated at the bar inside the Juice Bar and Diner. The two Rangers are wearing T-shirts, denim pants, socks and sneakers. Zack's shirt is black with a purple stripe across the chest, while Kimberly's shirt is blue. A purple cup of soda is set in front of Zack, a pink cup of soda is in front of Kim and another pink cup is in front of the temporarily vacant seat to her left. Kat walks across the room and she sits at the bar on a seat to Kimberly's left, in front of the other pink cup. Kat has on a pink shirt, denim jeans, socks and shoes. Bulk and Skull are in their work clothes and they stand behind the bar, tending to customers.
KAT: "Tommy just called. He said he and Ethan are on their way over. Where's Jason?"
KIMBERLY: "Jason's on his way, he said he had a late karate class. I think he's..."
A clunking from behind the bar catches the three Rangers' attention. The milkshake machine starts sputtering and clunking as Bulk attempts to fill a cup with a milkshake, but nothing comes out.
BULK: "I don't believe it! I thought this was fixed!"
SKULL: "I don't know what to say, Bulkie. I just got it from the repair shop."
KIMBERLY: "Would you mind if I made an attempt to look it over?"
Bulk and Skull look at Kimberly for a moment. They eye one another and they start laughing.
BULK: "Thanks, Kim, but you don't have much experience with repair work."
SKULL: "Yeah, you're smart, but you're not a big brain like Billy was."
Kimberly does her best not to smile. After gaining her scientific wisdom from the Orb of Knowledge a few weeks back, her IQ was now nearly equal to that of her old friend Billy Cranston. Not that she could exactly tell them that.
KIMBERLY: "That's true. But I'll try for free. And if it doesn't work, I'll personally pay for it to be repaired."
Bulk and Skull exchange looks and then they shrug. They didn't think she could fix it, but she was their friend and they decided to help her out. Besides, her failure would mean that she'd save them some money by getting stuck with the repair bill and running the Juice Bar wasn't cheap in this tough economy. Bulk and Skull step aside and Kimberly smiles as she gets up. She walks around and goes behind the bar to work on the milkshake machine.
On the Lunar Palace's balcony, Domminnous watches the Earth with his telescope. He looks away in disgust as Rita and Zedd join him on the balcony.
DOMMINNOUS: "How revolting! Those Rangers are so kind, so considerate... it's enough to make your stomach churn."
RITA: "Don't worry about it, Domminnous. I'll come up with a new plan, one that will make sure we've seen the last of the Power Rangers!"
DOMMINNOUS: "Uh-huh. I've heard that before."
RITA: "Oh, trust me, Domminnous! This will be the last night the Power Rangers ever have!"
Rita cackles as she walks off the balcony. She may have failed when she gave Bones a second chance, but this time, she was going to make sure everyone knew the credit behind the Rangers' end would belong solely to Rita Repulsa.
Back at the Juice Bar, Tommy and Ethan have joined the other Rangers are seated at the bar, watching Kimberly. Tommy has on a black unbuttoned, long-sleeved over-shirt over his green T-shirt, black pants, socks and sneakers. Ethan has on a red T-shirt, denim jeans, socks and sneakers with red shoelaces. Her friends watch Kimberly, who is doing her best to repair the milkshake machine. She looks over the wiring and starts moving wires around. Jason walks over and he joins them. Jason is still a little sweaty and wearing his workout clothes, having just finished his last karate class.
JASON: "Hey, guys. What's Kimberly doing behind the bar?"
ZACK: "She offered to help fix the milkshake machine for Bulk and Skull."
Jason smiles as he watches Kimberly work. He knew just how smart his new wife had become, and now, it was Bulk and Skull's turn to see how bright she could be. Kimberly closes the compartment on the side of the milkshake machine and she grabs a large cup from a stack of cups nearby.
KIMBERLY: "Okay, this should do it."
Kimberly puts the cup under the dispenser and she pulls the lever. Bulk and Skull walk over and their eyes widen as a vanilla milkshake pours out into the cup. To say they were shocked would be an understatement. Kimberly fixed the milkshake maker machine? Kimberly? The same Kimberly Hart who got 'B's in high school and had paid more attention to her make-up and nails than her lessons in science class? Despite the duo's shock, the other five Rangers applaud Kimberly and she smiles as she hands the cup over to Skull.
BULK AND SKULL: (at the same time) "How did... When did... Where'd you...?"
Kimberly just smiles at Bulk and Skull.
KIMBERLY: "You're welcome. You guys need anything else, just let me know. I'll fix it for you."
She pats the two men on their arms and then she walks back around to join her friends. Bulk and Skull look at one another, then at the milkshake in Skull's hand, and then at Kimberly. When she said she could fix it, the two now believed she probably could. Kimberly has taken her seat on the stool between Kat and Jason and they smile at her. Skull hands Kimberly the milkshake cup.
SKULL: "Here, this one's on us for fixing the milkshake maker."
KIMBERLY: "Thanks, guys. Is everyone ready to order?"
TOMMY: "Yeah, I think we're all ready."
BULK: "Okay, what would you like?"
Bulk holds out his pad and paper, ready to write down the order.
Back at the Lunar Palace, inside Finster's workshop, Rita is looking over a table of monster sculpts at the side of the room while Finster is sculpting his latest creation.
RITA: "What would I like? What have you been working on, Finster?"
FINSTER: "Well, I have some wonderful new monster sculpts ready. In fact, I'm nearly done finishing an especially nasty new spider that can..."
RITA: (interrupts) "No, no, Finster! You said you'd remade some of your oldest monsters and gave them new powers! Who's ready for use?"
FINSTER: "Well, I do have several of them ready at the next table, my queen."
Rita turns and sees Baboo and Squatt are at the other table. Baboo holds the clay model of Terror Toad and Squatt holds the clay model of Eye Guy. They are playing with the clay models like they were action figures.
SQUATT: "I'll get you with my main eye's laser!"
BABOO: "Oh, yeah? Well, I gobble down eyes for snacks, dummy!"
RITA: "Hey!"
Rita's yelling startles Baboo and Squatt. As they turn to face her, they drop the two clay models and they splatter on the floor. The left arm and right leg of Eye Guy breaks off and the right arm from the elbow down and head of Terror Toad snaps off. Finster looks on in horror and he quickly goes over to pick them up.
FINSTER: "Oh, no! These monsters are not toys, you two!"
RITA: "Now look what you clods have done!"
BABOO: "We're sorry, my queen. Sorry, Finster."
Rita pushes the two aside as she walks to the second table.
RITA: "Let's hope you numbskulls left the other monsters intact!"
Rita looks over the table of monsters. She sees sculpts of Minotaur, Gnarly Gnome, Pudgy Pig, Madame Woe, Snizard, Knasty Knight, Pineoctopus and Shellshock. Close-by, there are new sculpts of Rhinoblaster, Lizzinator, Peckster, Dramole, Slippery Shark, Pumpkin Rapper, Grumble Bee and Fighting Flea. All of them were monsters Finster had used before and they were some of the meaner, tougher monsters she'd used before Zedd had come back to the moon.
RITA: "I see you've been busy remaking some more of your nastier monsters, Finster."
FINSTER: "Yes, my queen. Each one has brand new powers and strength to take on the Rangers."
Rita smiles as she notices the Pudgy Pig monster. She rubs her chin and smiles wickedly at the Pig monster.
RITA: "Really? Well, you've given me an idea, Finster! Most of our attacks usually happen and interrupt those stupid Rangers' meals! I want you to send down the Pudgy Pig to finish them off!"
Finster walks over to the table to join her, eyeing his creation with a proud smile.
FINSTER: "Very well, my queen, I'll have him ready in..."
But just as Finster picks up the clay model of Pudgy Pig, the tail falls off and the right hoofed hand falls off. Rita looks over and glares angrily at Baboo and Squatt.
BABOO: "I told you we should've stopped playing with the models!"
RITA: "Why you idiotic-"
Finster quickly comes between her and the trembling duo.
FINSTER: (interrupts) "Don't worry, my queen. These damages are easily repairable. If you wish, I can just send down some Putties to deal with the Rangers while I fix the Pudgy Pig."
RITA: "Very well."
Rita looks at Baboo and Squatt and she aims her Magic Wand at them.
RITA: "And if you two dolts ever play with these monsters again, I'll -"
SQUATT: (interrupts) "We're sorry! Let's get outta here!"
Baboo and Squatt run out of the workshop and Rita turns to Finster. She groans at the actions from her two henchmen.
RITA: "Why did we resurrect them again?"
FINSTER: "Because they're loyal and eager to help you destroy the Power Rangers, my queen. And because you like them."
RITA: "Yeah, but they don't know that! Send down those Putties, Finster!"
Finster nods and he goes to grab some Putty models from a nearby table.
The six Rangers are nearly done eating their dinner. Dulcea, who is dressed in a business suit, walks over and she joins the Rangers. She is holding several fliers in her hands.
KAT: "Hi, Miss Kamps. Would you like to join us?"
DULCEA: "No, thank you, I already ate. I came by to give you all these fliers. There's going to be a fair this weekend and the proceeds are going to help keep the Fisher Homeless Shelter for Children from closing down."
KIMBERLY: "Well, we'd be happy to volunteer. We've had past success with collecting funds for homeless shelters for minors when we were adolescents."
Her comment make Bulk and Skull turn around and look at her with confusion as the Rangers are handed fliers by Dulcea. They hadn't heard her talk like that before and now they were getting even more suspicious by her current behavior.
SKULL: "Bulky, do you notice anything weird about Kimberly speaking like Billy?"
The Rangers exchange concerned looks. To make matters worse, Jason's communicator beeps its musical melody. The Rangers look even more concerned as Bulk and Skull notice the communicator's tune.
BULK: "What was that?"
Before Jason can come up with an answer, it's Dulcea who speaks up first.
DULCEA: "I'm afraid that's my fault. I told Jason to set his beeper so he and his friends could help me with a project in my office. I hate to call you away so soon after you've eaten, but..."
Jason nods at her, pleased by her quick-thinking.
JASON: "That's okay. Let's go, guys."
Jason sets some money down on the bar, the six Rangers get up from their seats and they walk out of the Juice Bar. Bulk and Skull exchange puzzled looks. They shrug and continue to work behind the bar. They don't notice Dulcea giving them a firm look. She had a feeling that the duo's suspicions about the Rangers wouldn't disappear so easily.
The six Rangers teleport into the Command Center and they see Alpha 5 is working at the eastern control stand. Zordon is at the western stand, eyeing the computer.
JASON: "What's going on, Zordon?"
ZORDON: "Rangers, a batch of Putties have been sent down to West Union Park and they have already chased away the bystanders."
TOMMY: "Most likely to lure us out into a fight."
JASON: "They want one, they've got one. We'll take care of the Putties, Zordon."
The Rangers line up side by side, they touch the teleport button on their communicators and they beam out of the room in streaks of their respective Ranger color.
In West Union Park, there are least a dozen Putties present. Four of which have one hand blade and three more have one hand a ball. The park has been emptied, except for the six unmorphed Rangers as they come running up to the Putties.
TOMMY: "Hey, clay-brains! Over here!"
The Putties move in to attack and the Rangers return the charge.
Zack dodges Putty #1's high kick, he delivers a spinning-heel kick that the Putty dodges, but he quickly lets loose a high kick to Putty #1's chest that knocks him to the ground. Zack turns, he dodges Putty #2's left cross, he dodges Putty #2's right hook, and as Zack ducks he spins around and lets loose a foot-sweep kick. Putty #2 jumps over the foot-sweep kick, Zack quickly stands up and he blocks Putty #2's high kick. Zack responds with a kick to Putty #2's gut that knocks him back.
Near a bench, Putty #3 delivers a punch to Ethan's face that makes him stumble back, he hits his back against a tree and it punches its ball-shaped hand at his face. Ethan dodges it, the ball hits the tree instead and Ethan delivers an uppercut that knocks Putty #3 back. Ethan floors Putty #3 with a foot-sweep kick, and as he stands up he is met with a kick by Putty #4. Ethan blocks the Putty's next kick, he knocks the Putty back with a left hook and he lets loose a spinning back-fist that knocks Putty #4 down.
By a set of bushes, Tommy leaps over Putty #5's foot-sweep kick and he retaliates with a spinning heel kick that knocks Putty #5 to the ground. Tommy turns to see Putty #6 moving in and he attempts a hit with his ball-shaped hand to Tommy's stomach. Tommy blocks the punch, he dodges the Putty's next attack with his ball hand and he delivers a heel kick to Putty #6's abdomen. Tommy does a spinning heel kick that knocks Putty #6 aside. Putty #7 moves in next to attack, delivering a high kick that Tommy blocks and Tommy counters with a knee to the stomach that pushes him back.
Near a water fountain, Kat ducks as Putty #8's slashes its bladed-hand at her. She stands up and retaliates with a spinning back-fist. Putty #8 recovers, he delivers a punch to her face that she blocks and Kat lets loose a knee to the stomach that sends the Putty reeling back. Kat delivers a high kick that sends Putty #8 down and she turns to see Putty #9 punch at her, but she dodges and lets loose a high kick that sends Putty #9 reeling back. She lets loose a kick to the gut that knocks Putty #9 to the ground.
On a sidewalk, Kimberly backflips as Putty #10 delivers a foot-sweep kick, and then she catches Putty #10's punch with her right hand and simultaneously punches his chest with her left. Kimberly grabs Putty #10's arm, she flips him over and he crash-lands on his back. Kimberly turns and barely dodges as Putty #11 slashes its bladed right hand at her face. She cartwheels to her side, with her foot hitting across the Putty's face as she does, Kimberly lands on her feet and she sends Putty #11 down with a roundhouse kick.
Close-by, Jason dodges Putty #12's high kick and he ducks under the Putty's haymaker. Jason stands up and delivers a right cross that sends the Putty back a few steps. Putty #12 recovers, it delivers a kick that Jason slaps aside and he counters with a kick to the chest that knocks Putty #11 to the ground. Jason turns and Putty #13 moves up to attack, delivering a high kick that Jason ducks under and simultaneously lets loose a foot-sweep kick that floors the Putty. Jason gets up to his feet and sees Putty #14 slash its bladed right hand at him. Jason dodges the slash attempt and retaliates with a right hook to the jaw.
In Finster's workshop, Finster gently picks up the Pudgy Pig clay model, which is whole again and as good as new. Rita looks on with evil delight at the repaired clay model.
FINSTER: "There. It's all fixed, my queen."
RITA: "Make sure he's tougher than he was last time! I don't want any more failures!"
FINSTER: "Don't worry, my queen. The Pudgy Pig will have some nasty surprises in store for the Rangers."
Rita watches as Finster sets the model on the conveyor belt, he wheels it into the Monster Matic and the doors close. He pulls the lever back then forth, smoke spews out of the exhaust pipe while the Monster Matic is on, and then when it's finished, smoke bursts out of the exhaust pipe. Pudgy Pig stands under the pipe, wielding a large knife and fork the size of swords in his hoofed hands.
PUDGY PIG: "I'm hungry!"
RITA: "Go get some food to get those Power Pukes' attention! When the Rangers show up, destroy them for me! Then it's all you can eat!"
PUDGY PIG: "Oh, boy! Dinner time!"
Pudgy Pig bursts out laughing and then he teleports away.
Back at West Union Park, the Rangers are still fighting off the Putties.
Putty #1 rushes in to punch Tommy, but he dodges and as he tries again Tommy catches the Putty's fist. Tommy pulls the Putty down as he delivers a rising knee and then, still keeping hold of his fist, Tommy flips the Putty over and the Putty crash-lands on his back.
Jason dodges Putty #2's front snap kick, he slaps away the Putty's follow-up front snap kick and he delivers a side-kick to Putty #2's ribs that knock him back. Jason follows up with a tornado kick that hits Putty #2 across the jaw, knocking him to the ground. Jason looks around. He sees all of the Putties are lying on the ground, defeated, and his fellow Rangers are in fighting stances. The defeated Putties disappear, teleported away. The Rangers get out of their stances and they look at one another. No one was hurt and the Putties had been taken care of. Just as they start to relax, Jason's communicator beeps its melody and the Rangers look grim.
TOMMY: "Oh, great. Now what?"
JASON: "Let's see what's up."
He taps his communicator's talk button.
JASON: "This is Jason, come in."
ALPHA 5: (on communicator) "Rangers, please report to the Command Center. It's urgent."
JASON: "We're on our way."
The Rangers line up, standing side by side one another, and then they teleport out of the park in energy streaks of their respective Ranger color.
In downtown Angel Grove, Pudgy Pig is inside of a large supermarket and the people inside are screaming and fleeing in terror. The monster is gobbling up everything in the produce sections, from bananas and oranges to grapes and everything else on display. Pudgy Pig even gobbles down the spicy radishes in a bucket on nearby display. Pudgy Pig moves over at super-speed to the bakery and he gobbles down cakes, cupcakes, donuts and everything else.
PUDGY PIG: "More! More food! I'm so hungry!"
The six Rangers, Ionisos, Dulcea, Zordon and Alpha 5 watch the Viewing Globe. Ionisos is wearing his robes and leather uniform, while Dulcea is clad in her Amazonian warrior type bikini outfit. They watch as Pudgy Pig gobbles down every item of food in sight at blinding speed. Ethan is doing his best not to laugh.
ZORDON: "This is the fourth stop in one minute since the Pudgy Pig re-appeared. He has left all four stops without any supplies of food."
Ethan can't hold it in anymore. He starts laughing, much to the other Rangers' surprise. He smiles at them sheepishly, trying to keep from laughing.
ETHAN: (laughing) "Pudgy Pig? I'm sorry, this is ridiculous."
KIMBERLY: "Pudgy Pig isn't a joke, Ethan. He was one of our first opponents and he managed to eat our Power Weapons."
ZACK: "He can also eat all of the food on Earth in forty-eight hours if he isn't stopped. But luckily, we managed to make him sick with spicy foods. It got him to puke out our weapons and left him open for us to finish him off."
JASON: "Not this time, Zack. Look at the Viewing Globe."
The Rangers look puzzled by Jason's remark and they again glance at the Viewing Globe. Pudgy Pig is eating everything in a different supercenter's grocery section, including spicy radishes.
KIMBERLY: "Nice detection, Jason. It seems consuming spicy foods no longer cause the monster to become nauseous and vulnerable."
ZACK: "One more time, Kim?"
JASON: "She must mean spicy foods are no longer his weakness."
TOMMY: "Well, every monster has a weak spot and we'll find his new one is, one way or another."
IONISOS: "I'll see if I can find something to weaken the monster in the lab. Good luck."
Jason nods at Ionisos as he walks down the room, heading to the lab in the back. He reaches behind his back for his Power Morpher and the other Rangers do the same.
JASON: "It's Morphin' Time!"
The Rangers hold out their Morphers, they push the side button with their thumb and the cases pop open. Red LED lights flash in the Morphers' red center layer around the Power Coins, indicating they're active.
TOMMY: "Dragonzord!"
ZACK: "Mastodon!"
KIMBERLY: "Pterodactyl!"
ETHAN: "Triceratops!"
KAT: "Saber-Toothed Tiger!"
JASON: "Tyrannosaurus!"
After calling out his dinosaur coin's name, a fiery red grid appears over Jason's head and the grid splits to form the Red Ranger helmet.
In downtown Angel Grove, Pudgy Pig rushes over to Shell's Grocery Store, rubbing his hoofed hands together.
PUDGY PIG: "All right! More food! I'm so hungry!"
As he approaches, the six morphed Power Rangers flip through the air, led by Red, followed by Green, Black, Pink, Yellow and Blue. They land on the road and they run over to Pudgy Pig.
RED RANGER: "Hold it right there, bacon-breath!"
Pudgy Pig turns around and he faces the Rangers.
PUDGY PIG: "I hate it when my meals are interrupted!"
Pudgy Pig shoots black energy beams from his eyes and the six Rangers leap away, as the beams hit the ground with several bursts of sparks.
PINK RANGER: "Maintain a safe distance from the monster! He conceivably could still possess the capability of devouring our arsenal!"
BLACK RANGER: "Once more in English, please?"
PINK RANGER: "He could still swallow our Power Weapons!"
RED RANGER: "Then Blade Blasters up, guys!"
The five Rangers draw their Blade Blasters, they switch them to gun mode, and they fire at Pudgy Pig. The beams hit the monster with a burst of sparks and he stumbles back. With an angry grunt, Pudgy Pig opens his mouth and he shoots out a gush of wind with the force of a low-level hurricane. The Rangers struggle to keep from being blown away by the gust of wind.
GREEN RANGER: "I'll get him to stop! Standby, guys!"
Green Ranger draws his Dragon Dagger as he leaps over the gust of wind. He slashes his Dagger down, sparkly hitting Pudgy Pig down his face, and the monster stumbles back as the wind breath stops. The Rangers regain their balance as Green Ranger fights Pudgy Pig. Pudgy Pig blocks Green Ranger's spinning heel kick and retaliates with a sparkly hit to the chest by his hoofed left hand. Green Ranger recovers from the hit, he blocks Pudgy Pig's next punch and he counters with a kick to the snout. Green Ranger lets loose another slash with his Dagger, this time with a trail of green energy following the blade, and he sparkly hits Pudgy Pig's face. Pudgy Pig stumbles back, but he recovers and he pulls out his sword-sized knife and fork from behind his back. The sight of the cutlery weapons makes Blue Ranger try his best not to snicker.
BLUE RANGER: "He's got to be kidding!"
Pudgy Pig blocks Green Ranger's next slash attack with his silverware weapons. Pudgy Pig quickly strikes Green Ranger's Dragon Shield with the fork, raising sparks as he stumbles back, and he then sparkly slashes his knife against Green Ranger's stomach, knocking him down.
RED RANGER: "Move in, guys, but no weapons! We don't want to risk losing them!"
The Rangers charge at Pudgy Pig, who is approaching Green Ranger. He tries to take the Dagger out of his hands and he's aiming it towards his mouth, but Green Ranger struggles to keep him from eating it.
PUDGY PIG: "That looks delicious!"
Before Pudgy Pig can bite into the Dagger, Blue Ranger moves in first and he knocks Pudgy Pig back with a kick to the forehead. Pudgy Pig stumbles back, he slaps away Blue Ranger's next kick and he sparkly hits Blue Ranger's chest with his left hoof hand, knocking him down. Yellow Ranger moves in next, delivering a spinning back-fist that Pudgy Pig blocks and she counters with a kick to the stomach. Pudgy Pig stumbles back a few steps, he blocks Yellow Ranger's next kick and responds by sparkly kicking her stomach with his hoofed left foot. He knocks Yellow Ranger down by sparkly hitting her chest with his right hand's hoof and he turns to see Pink Ranger high kick at him, but he slaps it away. Pink Ranger delivers a high kick to the monster's head that makes him stumble back, but he blocks her next kick and delivers a sparkly hit with his right foot's hoof to Pink Ranger's stomach that makes her hit the ground rolling. Black Ranger moves in to attack, delivering a kick to the monster's snout and he stumbles back. Black Ranger tries another kick that Pudgy Pig blocks, the Pig then blocks his left hand's karate chop attack and he knocks Black Ranger down with a sparkly hit to the chest by his left hand/hoof.
Green Ranger has gotten up onto his feet, he puts his Dragon Dagger in his belt's holster again, and he delivers a spinning heel kick that Pudgy Pig slaps aside. Pudgy Pig sparkly slashes Green Ranger's stomach, making him stumble back, and Pudgy Pig punches with his right hoof/hand. Green Ranger blocks it, he punches the Pig across the jaw, and Pudgy Pig stumbles back. Green Ranger tries another punch, but the Pig blocks it and he lets loose a high kick to Green Ranger's chest, raising sparks as he is knocked to the ground. Red Ranger moves in next, delivering a left hook that Pudgy Pig blocks and he counters with a strike with his right hoof hand across Red Ranger's chest, raising sparks as he stumbles back. Red Ranger uses a right cross to send Pudgy Pig stumbling back a few steps, but he blocks Red Ranger's kick attack and he knocks him down with a sparkly hit to the chest with a sparkly hit with his left hand's hoof. Red Ranger hits the ground rolling and he gets up to one knee, clutching his stomach.
PUDGY PIG: "All this fighting is making me hungry! But I promised Empress Rita! First I'll finish you off and then I can finish eating!"
Pudgy Pig holds up his knife and fork weapons, he combines them and shoots out a series of electrical beams from them. The beams hit each Ranger, the beams make the Rangers scream, and then they are sent flying back.
The Red and Black Rangers crash through one of the windows, while the other Rangers are knocked through the sliding entrance doors. The Rangers hit the ground, with broken glass spilling over the ground and people move away in fear. The Rangers try to get up, but the charge of the electrical blasts makes them fall over and they twitch from the shocks. Despite the pain, Green Ranger gets up to one knee, clutching his chest, and looks at the people inside the grocery store.
GREEN RANGER: "Everyone, clear out! Go!"
The people run towards the back and Pudgy Pig steps inside. As the Rangers try to get up, Pudgy Pig pushes the Rangers aside. He heads right for the produce section to the far left side.
PUDGY PIG: "I'm hungry! Yummy food!"
Pudgy Pig starts gobbling down more food. Red Ranger points at the monster.
RED RANGER: "Guys, look at Pudgy Pig!"
Pudgy Pig starts gobbling down more food. The muscles of his arms and legs get larger and more toned with each bite of food he gobbles down.
GREEN RANGER: "What's happening to him?"
PINK RANGER: "The more food he consumes, the more his strength increases. He gets more powerful when he eats!"
YELLOW RANGER: "We've got to get him to stop!"
BLACK RANGER: "Maybe I can slow him down!"
Black Ranger holds out his Power Axe, he switches it to cannon mode and he pushes the purple button. An icy mist shoots out and it hits the floor of the produce aisle. Pudgy Pig runs across the floor, only to get caught on the icy floor. Pudgy Pig starts slipping and struggles to keep his balance. Black Ranger then fires an icy mist over Pudgy Pig's legs, freezing them to the icy coating on the floor.
GREEN RANGER: "Good job, man! It's working!"
Pudgy Pig growls with anger, he shoots eyebeams at Black Ranger's chest and they knock him to the floor. Pudgy Pig quickly breaks his left leg free from the ice and then does the same for his right leg. He rushes across to a display stand, he opens box after box and devours the cupcakes at super-speed. Red Ranger helps Black Ranger sit up while Pudgy Pig eats.
RED RANGER: "Are you okay?"
BLACK RANGER: "Man, that blast packed a punch!"
Red Ranger taps his communicator.
RED RANGER: "Zordon, Pudgy Pig gets stronger the more he eats. Do you have any new information on possible weak spots?"
Ionisos walks into the main room, carrying three syringes of blue potion in his hands. Dulcea taps the western control console's talk button.
DULCEA: "Rangers, Ionisos may have a way of stopping the Pig. We've finished a new batch of chemicals to create indigestion. It should make the monster sick and weak enough for you to finish him off."
IONISOS: "I'm teleporting it to you now."
He pushes a button and the syringes beam out of his hands.
Red Ranger is holding the syringes in his hand. He turns to the other Rangers. He hands a syringe over to Green Ranger.
RED RANGER: "Rangers, go grab some food. I've got an idea!"
Elsewhere, in aisle ten, Pudgy Pig is devouring all of the food in sight. Pudgy Pig opens a bag of cookies and starts eating them, one after the other at super-speed. Pudgy Pig then moves down the aisle and starts eating box after box of crackers. Pudgy Pig sees Black Ranger run by, with a handful of chip bags in his hands.
BLACK RANGER: "I've got them!"
Pudgy Pig walks out of the aisle and he sees the Pink and Blue Rangers run to the open doorway at the front of the store, each holding bags of cookies in their hands. Red Ranger waves for them to run outside.
RED RANGER: "Come on, guys! Get rid of as much food as we can so the Pig can't get any stronger!"
Red Ranger steps aside as Green Ranger runs out of the grocery store, holding a few bags of donuts, and Pudgy Pig follows him out. He goes over to Green Ranger and the Pig tackles him down.
PUDGY PIG: "Oh, no you don't! My food!"
He takes the donut bags, he opens them up and he starts gobbling the donuts down at super-speed. However, the monster is eating them down so fast that he doesn't notice the donuts with the blue formula injected inside. Pudgy Pig suddenly stops and he starts coughing. Pudgy Pig then starts spewing out food with a burst of blue smoke. Green Ranger pulls out the empty syringe hidden inside his Dagger's holster.
GREEN RANGER: "All right, it worked!"
Pudgy Pig spews out more food, which hits the Blue and Pink Ranger's uniforms. The two Rangers quickly wipe the food away with their hands.
BLUE RANGER: "I'll say! That's disgusting!"
Now weakened, Pudgy Pig's face turns green and his cheeks sink in, making him appear thinner. The muscles of his arms and legs quickly deflate. All six Rangers are now outside, with the food out of their arms and they're holding their Power Weapons. Green Ranger holds up his Dragon Dagger.
RED RANGER: "Let's bring 'em together, guys!"
Rita, Domminnous and Zedd stand on the balcony, angered by the Rangers' actions. Rita holds up her Magic Wand.
RITA: "No! Make my Pudgy Pig grow!"
She throws her wand at the Earth, which magically heads right for Angel Grove.
The Magic Wand quickly hits the ground near the weakened monster, the wand shoots a red electrical beam that makes a chasm appear in the ground and smoke rises up that grows Pudgy Pig to giant-sized. The Wand vanishes, teleported back to Rita, and the Rangers move back as Pudgy Pig cackles with evil glee. He heads off into the city.
RED RANGER: "Oh, man! We need Dinozord power, now!"
GREEN RANGER: "It's time for Dragonzord power!"
Using his Dagger like a flute, Green Ranger plays the Dragonzord fanfare tune to summon his Zord.
Seconds later, having emerged from their hiding spots, the six Dinozords head off into the city. The Rangers, except Green, leap up into the air to their respective Zord and they enter their Zord's control room.
RED RANGER: "Log on!"
BLACK RANGER: "Zack here, ready to rumble!"
BLUE RANGER: "Ethan here, all systems go!"
YELLOW RANGER: "Kat here, up and running!"
PINK RANGER: "Let's make bacon out of this Pudgy Pig!"
RED RANGER: "Rangers, power up your Crystals!"
Red Ranger inserts his Power Crystal into his cockpit's console. The other four Rangers do the same.
FOUR RANGERS: "Two, one, power up!"
RED RANGER: "Switch it over to Megazord!"
The five Dinozords are drawn together and they start to form Megazord. The Saber-Toothed Tiger and Triceratops bond with the Tyrannosaurus to form the legs, the Mastodon connects to the Tyrannosaurus' back to become the arms and the Tyrannosaurus' head slides into its chest compartment to reveal the Megazord head behind it.
COMPUTER VOICE: "Megazord sequence has been initiated!"
As the Pterodactyl connects to form the chest armor, Megazord stands up and the horns lock onto either side of its head, completing the change to battle mode.
COMPUTER VOICE: "Megazord activated!"
In the city, Megazord gets into a fighting stance and Dragonzord stands next to it. Pudgy Pig laughs as he runs at the Zords.
PUDGY PIG: "Here I come!"
Megazord steps in and punches at Pudgy Pig, but Pudgy Pig blocks it and delivers a kick to Megazord's stomach. Pudgy Pig then sparkly hits Megazord's face with a right jab, making the Zord stumble back. Pudgy Pig goes to Dragonzord, who lets loose a tail-whip attack that Pudgy Pig blocks and he retaliates with a sparkly strike to the chest with his left hoofed hand. Pudgy Pig heel-kicks at Dragonzord's middle and the hit raises sparks as Dragonzord stumbles back. Megazord moves in next, blocking Pudgy Pig's left hook and counters with a punch to the Pig's snout. Pudgy Pig stumbles back from the punch, Megazord delivers a punch to the face with its right hand and Pudgy Pig is knocked to the ground, rolling to a stop a short distance away. Pudgy Pig stands up and he shoots black energy beams from his eyes. The beams hit Megazord and Dragonzord with a burst of sparks.
GREEN RANGER: "Dragonzord, use your missiles!"
Green Ranger plays a tune and missiles appear in Dragonzord's fingertips. The Zord opens fire, but Pudgy Pig quickly gobbles them down, much to the Rangers' surprise. Pudgy Pig's eyes briefly glow red while it chews on the missiles, and as he opens his mouth, he re-fires the glowing red missiles out at the two Zords. The Zords are hit with stronger bursts of sparks and they stumble back, nearly falling over.
BLUE RANGER: "What now? He might eat the Power Sword if we try to energize it!"
YELLOW RANGER: "And we can't use Ultrazord. It'd gulp down the blasts and make him more powerful!"
RED RANGER: "I agree. I think I know what to use! Switch it over to Dragonzord in Fighting Mode, now!"
Megazord disassembles back into the five Dinozords and the Saber-Toothed Tiger, Triceratops and Mastodon Dinozords combine with Dragonzord to form Dragonzord in Fighting Mode. The Tyrannosaurus Dinozord stands next to him, while the Pterodactyl Zord flies off and Dragonzord holds up its Power Staff.
PINK RANGER: "I'm pulling back! I don't want my cannon blasts to make him stronger!"
Pudgy Pig holds his knife and fork and he slashes them at Dragonzord, but Dragonzord blocks the attack with its staff. The Zord knocks the fork out of Pudgy Pig's left hand with its Staff and then knocks the knife out of his right. Dragonzord in Fighting Mode kicks with its right Saber-Toothed Tiger leg and knocks Pudgy Pig back. The Tyrannosaurus lets loose a tail-whip that knocks Pudgy Pig back, but he recovers and sparkly punches the Tyrannosaurus' chest. Another punch raises sparks and knocks the Tyrannosaurus aside. Pudgy Pig moves in to attack Dragonzord in Fighting Mode, but the Tyrannosaurus swats its tail low and hits Pudgy Pig's ankles. The hit makes Pudgy Pig stumble forward off-balance, just as Dragonzord in Fighting Mode charges the drill of its Power Staff.
RED RANGER: "Quick, finish him, guys!"
Dragonzord in Fighting Mode charges the spinning drill at the ends of its Power Staff, the Zord runs the drill through Pudgy Pig's midsection and the monster falls back. Pudgy Pig explodes, defeated, and the Rangers cheer their victory.
BLACK RANGER: "So long, sausage-brain!"
At the Palace's balcony, Domminnous, Rita and Zedd are enraged by the Rangers' victory. Rita clutches her Magic Wand tightly in her hands.
RITA: "No! My Pudgy Pig was winning and yet he failed! Again! I can't stand it!"
DOMMINNOUS: "When you have a monster named Pudgy Pig, did you really expect to win with a creation like that?"
Rita storms off the balcony and into the throne room.
RITA: "Oh, shut up! I'll make the Rangers pay for this! I swear it!"
Later that night inside the Olivers' house, Tommy and Kat are seated on the couch in the living room and they are watching a movie on their TV, which has gone to its end credits. Tommy has his arm around Kat and Kat eats a handful of popcorn from the large bowl on her lap.
KAT: "This is wonderful. It's nice having the night alone together."
TOMMY: "Yeah. We could've done without Rita's Putties and Pudgy Pig, but it's nothing we couldn't handle."
The last of the end credits of the film go by. Tommy smiles at Kat as she eats another handful of popcorn.
TOMMY: "That was a great movie."
KAT: "I know, it's one of my favorites. What's on next?"
TOMMY: "I'm not sure. I'll check the TV schedule."
Tommy holds up his newspaper and looks at the TV listings. The screen suddenly shows a TV host dressed up like a mad doctor.
TV HOST: "Hello, and welcome to another edition of our Wednesday night Double Film Feature. We will continue with the 1993 tele-film classic, Swine Monsters from Saturn!"
The TV screen then shows footage of the film. The film's actors are in pig costumes, dressed in gladiator armor and wielding swords and shields. The pig gladiators attack the city and chase bystanders away, who scream as they run off in horror. Tommy and Kat grimace at the footage on the screen and then they glance at one another.
TV HOST: (narrates footage) "This movie was filmed on location in the spring of 1993 in Stone Canyon, California, and was popular enough spawn two direct-to-video sequels!"
It was a little too soon for the couple's liking to see a man-sized pig attacking innocent people, even if it was only a cheesy TV movie. Tommy quickly grabs his remote control and he changes the channel up button a few times. He stops pushing the button as he reaches an AMC-type channel, which shows a black-and-white romantic comedy. Kat and Tommy smile with relief.
TOMMY: "There. That's better. I think we've seen enough pig monsters for one day."
KAT: "You can say that again."
Tommy and Kat exchange smiles and Tommy grabs a handful of popcorn. Not even one of Rita's attacks could spoil their night together.
