Command Center
"Zordon, what are we going to do," Billy asked, "It took all of our power to destroy those Platters."
"I know," Zordon said, "Zedd's power is not to be trifled with, and neither are his minions. Fortunately, we planned for this a head of time."
The alarm goes off and the rangers look at the viewing globe, seeing Pirantis Head attacking the city. The rangers go to the city to see the fish monster leveling buildings with its ice breath. Desperate, the rangers summon their zords.
"Not this time," Gorum said as he, Bruto, and Glamor stood from the building, turning to the creature "Your Zords belong to us now."
The fish used its breath and froze the Sabertooth Tiger, Mastodon, Triceratops, and Pterodactyl Zords in place.
The Tyrannosaurus Zord approached the city, ready to fight. Gorum laughed, "You need a more worthy master," he said to the machine. The three combine their powers together, focusing the energy at the Zord and the Zord stopped in place.
"Now," Bruto said, "Destroy the Power Rangers!"
The Zord turns to the rangers and begins to charge at them.
"We have to stop it," Zack said.
Jason looks up and sees the three masked commanders standing on the ledge of the building controlling the Zord.
"They're doing this."
The rangers tried to reach the building but were stopped by the controlled Zord. Tommy teleported to the field, "You guys go, I'll use the Dragon Zord to distract it."
Tommy pulled out the dagger and started playing it, summoning the Dragon Zord to fight the T-Rex.
The other rangers reached the rooftop, catching the generals' attention. "You're too late Power Rangers", he said, "Your Zords are finished".
"Not yet," Jason said.
The rangers pull out their Power Blaster, unleashing it at the three, but the commanders used stopped it with their hands. The team broke up, each fighting a commander. Zack and Billy fought against Bruto, but their weapons didn't seem to hurt him. With a single punch, both Billy and Zack went flying across the roof.
Meanwhile Trini and Kimberly went after Glamor, only for her to fly above them and blast energy balls at them from above. She summoned unseen energy to harm the two rangers.
Jason battled Gorum alone. Gorum grabbed his throat, "You don't stand a chance ranger. Give up."
"Never," Jason said, breaking from Gorum's grip. He took out the Blade Blaster, shooting at the general. He easily deflected it and zapped red electricity at Jason. Jason was bound by the lightning as Gorum lifted him in the air. Suddenly, Toomy arrived, attacking Gorum, freeing Jason from the attack. Tommy and the other rangers went to check on Jason.
"Are you OK?"
"Yeah, now let's beat these mannequins."
"I don't think so," Gorum said, summoning lightning from the air onto his two fingers, with the two other commanders behind him. He unleashed the lightning at the rangers. They all fell from the building, and their transformations broke once they hit the ground. They got up, looking at the Zords still fighting.
"It's no use," Jason said, "We don't have enough power."
"Rangers," Zordon said on the communicator, "It is imperative you return to the Command Center immediately."
Seeing their efforts in vain, they teleported to the base.
Moon Palace
"Ha, they ran away like cowards," Glamor said, looking at the Earth.
"They are no match against our power," Gorum said.
"Well Zordon," Zedd said out loud, "As I thought, your Power Rangers are nothing compared to my forces. Bruto, let the Dragon Zord continue to fight the Tyrannous Zord. They will destroy each other."
Command Center
"Zordon, what are we going to do. We lost the Zords, and those guys are even stronger than Goldar."
"Rangers," Zordon said, "Fearing this day might come, we prepared to give you new Thunder Powers."
"Thunder powers?" Billy asked.
"Along with new powers, you would receive new Zords."
"Please follow me," Alpha said. The rangers followed him outside of the Command Center, where a large storm was brewing above. They looked up to see images of the new Thunder Zords. Zordon's voice could be heard as he showed them the Zords they would receive.
They stared in awe but Kimberly saw Tommy's disappointment. Not having enough power for now, he would not be receiving a new Zord or powers.
"Unfortunately, these new powers are built on your old powers," Alpha explained, "And Tommy's powers are too unstable right now."
"It's OK guys," Tommy said, "I'll be fine."
"You will be able to control the Thunderzords as well as fight Zedd's monsters. Unfortunately, to obtain the new Zords, you must first free the original Zords."
"Looks like we have work to do," Jason said.
"Rangers, prepare to receive your new powers."
The ranger closed their eyes and raised their arms, with Alpha and Tommy stepping back. Lighting struck them, though they did not react in pain and lightning continued striking them. Suddenly, their suits were replaced new suits, each helm resembling their newly assigned Zord and Zack's suit changed from black to green.
The rangers looked at themselves, amazed by their new suits. They could feel the new power running through them.
"This is incredible," Jason said.
"Zedd's in trouble now," Zack replied.
"With these new suits, you are now the Thunder Rangers," Zordon said.
Moon Palace
Zedd stood up in urgency.
"Something is wrong," he said to his commanders, "I felt a shift in the Morphin Grid. Send the Platters to finish off the rangers."
Earth
"Rangers, Zedd has sent Platters to attack the city," Zordon said.
"Looks like we get to try out these new powers," Jason said.
The rangers teleport to the city where they see many Platters. The Platters charge at the rangers.
"Thunder staff." The Rangers shouted, summoning red staffs. They use them to fight the Platters, with much better improvement from the last encounter. They defeat the last of the Platters and the defeated foot-soldiers vanish.
Pirantis Head suddenly appeared, ready to fight them. He was able to fight much better than the Platters, though the rangers still were able to hold their own. Once they were grouped together, the monster used his breath, causing an explosion.
"Man, this guy still won't quit," Zack said.
"Rangers," Zordon said, "If you combine your powers, you and us Thunder Blast. An ability that will destroy the monster."
"Worth a shot," Kimberly said.
The rangers got together again, and put their hands together, forming a lightning ball for each ranger.
"Thunder Blast," they shouted, unleashing the attack, causing the individual balls of thunder to combine into one, hitting Pirantis Head. The monster collapsed in defeat.
Meanwhile, the Dragon Zord defeated the Tyrannosaurus Zord, with it collapsing in defeat.
Moon Palace
"Enough of this," Zedd said angrily. "If I can't have their Zords, no one will."
He raised his staff at the Earth and opened the ground up, causing the recently freed Zords to sink into the molten Earth. The rangers stared in horror as they watched their Zords disappear into the Earth.
"Our Zords," Kimberly cried.
"What will we do now?" Trini asked.
"Now," Bruto said, appearing on the field, "You will be destroyed".
Bruto summoned a round great object in his hands, and hurled it at Pirantis Head, causing an explosion. The monster absorbed the flames and grew into a giant.
Command Center
"Aye-yi-yi-yi-yi," Alpha said, "The monster has grown enormous and the Zords have been destroyed. What are we gonna do?"
"Alpha, can you retrieve any remaining fragments of the Zords? They may be enough to create the Thunder Zords."
"I'll try." Alpha said, typing on the console.
Battlefield
The rangers dodged Pirantis Head's attacks.
"Rangers," Zordon said, "We found a way to retrieve the Thunder Zords."
The ranger's wrists glowed, and a small marble shaped crystal appeared to each of the rangers.
"Rangers, in your hands are the remnants of your old Zords," Zordon said, "Hold them and use your Lightning Swords to call on your new Zords."
"Let's do it," Jason said.
"Mastodon Lion Thunderzord Power!"
"Pterodactyl Firebird Thunderzord Power!"
"Triceratops Unicorn Thunderzord Power!"
"Sabertooth Tiger Griffin Thunderzord Power!"
"Tyrannosaurus Red Dragon Thunderzord Power!"
With their call, the new Zords, approached the battle field. The five used their swords to unleash a laser rope, pulling the rangers up onto their Zords. The rangers combine their Zords to form the Thunder Megazord. Using the Thunder Saber, the rangers destroy Pirantis Head.
Moon Palace
Zedd unleashed random shots of lightning around his throne room, with the Platters ducking for cover. The three commanders kneeled before him, their heads held down.
"Lord Zedd," Glamor said, "We're sorry. We failed at our mission and now the Power Rangers have become stronger."
"We will defeat them," Gorum said, "By any means necessary".
"Yes, you will," Zedd said, "This is not nearly over."
Yes, the Dairanger suits. I figure that if this wasn't the second season of Power Rangers, the writers would have had them change suits. But the producers might have wanted to keep continuity with the Zyuranger suits so fans would stay with the show. I won't continue this season episode by episode or scene by scene. I might even move onto the next season.
