Act 3
--------------------------------------------------
The two Piranhatrons were closing in on Tommy and Kat.
"What do they want?"
asked Kat, who knuckled up.
Putting his fists up, Tommy demanded
to the Piranhatrons, "Get away from my car!"
The two fish soldiers attacked, trying to get Tommy and Kat away from the car, so the Rockin' Roach could place the tickets inside. Rockin' Roach placed an envelope with "From a friend" written on it on the front seat.
Tommy took out Piranhatron #1 with a series of well-placed roundhouse kicks.
Kat managed to floor Piranhatron #2 with her combined graceful ballet and martial arts skills.
Rockin' Roach then hid in the bushes, watching to make sure Tommy and Kat get the tickets.
When the fight was over, and the two Piranhatrons retreated, Tommy and Kat returned to Tommy's car, as Kat asked her boyfriend, "I wonder what that was all about?"
Not answering the question, Tommy noticed the envelope in his car, and asked, "What's that?" He opened his car door, picked up the envelope, read the message, and asked, ""From a friend"?"
"Open it!" said Kat, as Tommy opened the envelope and took out the tickets, much to his surpise, as he said, "Oh man! I don't believe it. Two tickets to the Roaches' concert!"
Kat remarked, "That's some friend."
Tommy then turned to his girlfriend, and told her playfully, "Come on, you gave them to me."
Kat backed off, while saying, "It wasn't me."
"Well then, who did?" asked Tommy.
"A Roaches fan?" responded a confused Kat.
Rockin' Roach laughed, waved goodbye, and Tommy saw him disappear.
Like Tanya and Adam, Tommy also knew something wasn't right, and told Kat, "Or just a big roach. Let's get to the Power Chamber, Kat. I don't like taking gifts from bugs."
With that said, they looked around and teleported out.
Back at the Power Chamber, Justin, Alpha, and Adam were still working on Blue Senturion, who had his back open and some wires hanging out. Tanya teleported in, then so did Tommy and Kat.
Tommy asked his fellow Turbo Rangers, "Have you guys seen anything weird today?"
Tanya answered first, "If you consider giant walking cockroaches weird, then count me in."
Adam agreed, "Maybe it's just all the excitement about the concert. Everyone I know is going to the concert."
Kat added, "Me too. Jenny, Ashley..."
"Carlos..." said Adam.
"Even I got free tickets." replied Tanya.
Dimitria asked the Turbo Rangers, "Rangers, when is coincidence not a coincidence?"
Tommy pondered and caught on, then turned to Alpha and said, "When it's a plan. Alpha, can you pull up the concert hall on the viewing screen?"
"Righto." said Alpha, as he pushed some buttons, and the concert hall exterior came up on the screen. People were milling about, starting to enter.
"Now do a scan for any detonators in the area." said Tommy, as Alpha pushed some more buttons, and the screen pin-pointed an area where Ashley, Jenny, and Carlos wait and chat. Hidden in a crevice was the detonator.
Adam pointed at the screen, saying, "There!"
Suddenly, the Rockin' Roach appeared at the concert, as Tanya said, "I don't think that roach is with the band."
"Shift into Turbo!" said Tommy with determination, as he, Kat, Adam, Tanya, and Justin activated their Turbo Morphers to become the Turbo Power Rangers once again!
The Turbo Rangers arrived at the concert hall to face the Rockin' Roach, as the Red Ranger told the innocent bystanders, "Stand back, everyone!"
Divatox was watching the face-off at the concert hall from her periscope, then ordered, "Yes! Now I have them. Fire the torpedoes!"
The torpedoes were fired from the Subcraft, and hit the Rockin' Roach, who grew to a gigantic size, and began terrorizing the concert hall, as Red Ranger gave the following orders to his fellow Rangers, "You guys, call on the Zords. I'll stay here and get the detonator."
Green Ranger said, "I'll call on Blue Senturion to help."
"I'll get there as soon as I can." said Red Ranger, who then ran towards the detonator, while the other Turbo Rangers called on the Turbozords, calling out, "We need Turbozords, now!"
The five Turbozords showed up, along with the Robo-Racer, piloted by the Blue Senturion. The Turbo Megazord was formed, and the Robo-Racer transformed into Battle Mode. Red Ranger was not in the Turbo Megazord cockpit.
Blue Senturion said to the giant cockroach, "Rockin' Roach, you are in direct violation of disturbing the peace!"
As the two Megazords knuckled up, Rockin' Roach threatened his adversaries by singing, "So you think you can stop me and destroy the detonator?"
Green Ranger didn't feel threatened, and said, "When we're done with you, you'll be singing the blues!"
"Yeah!" agreed Blue Ranger.
With that said, Rockin' Roach started charging towards the two Megazords. Turbo Megazord and Robo-Race each exchanged a couple of punches and kicks to Rockin' Roach, who retaliated by shooting deadly musical notes at the two Megazords, causing them to spark like crazy, and shake their cockpits!
"Whoa! I hope Tommy disposes of that detonator in time!" said Pink Ranger.
Yellow Ranger retorted, "I don't know if we'll last that long!"
Inside the concert hall, Red Ranger ran to the area where the detonator was placed. Ashley, Jenny, and Carlos were hiding nearby, as Ashley said, "The Red Turbo Ranger!"
Red Ranger told the three teens, "Stand back please."
The three teens moved away, as Red Ranger took out his Turbo Blaster and blasted the detonator.
"That's that out of the way. Now to go help the gang!" said Red Ranger, as he jumped into the Turbo Megazord cockpit, rejoining his comrades, as well as telling them, "The detonator's been destroyed, guys. Now, let's squish this bug!"
"Right!" said the other Turbo Rangers.
Rockin' Roach taunted his foes by singing, "Born to destroy the Power Rangers, I was born to destroy the Power Rangers!"
Red Ranger laughed and said, "Oh, you were born to do something alright; lose!"
Blue Senturion interjected, "Time to face the music!"
As the Rockin' Roach fired more musical notes of destruction, the Turbo Megazord drew its shield, and the Robo-Racer drew its riot shield. The notes bounced off both shields, and flew right back at the Rockin' Roach, dealing heavy damage to him, and making him sing, "Those deaf, dumb, and blind Rangers sure put up a mean fight!"
"Activating Synergizer Blaster mode!" said Blue Senturion, as the Robo-Racer drew its Synergizer Blaster and fired ten shots at Rockin' Roach.
"Activate Turbo Megazord Saber, now!" said Red Ranger, as the Turbo Megazord drew its Turbo Saber, then activated its spin-out finisher and sliced Rockin' Roach across the chest.
As he was falling, Rockin' Roach's final words were, "Thank you, good night!" With that, the Rockin' Roach exploded, as the Turbo Megazord and the Robo-Racer both stood tall! Blue Senturion saluted the Turbo Rangers on a job well done.
Back aboard the Subcraft, an annoyed Divatox griped to Rygog, "No, no, no! I'm too close to give up. Rygog, get down there and get those teens!"
"Yes!" said Rygog, as he vanished.
Back at the concert hall, as she, Ashley, and Carlos were surrounded by Rygog and his Piranhatrons, Jenny said, "That's not good enough for me!"
"Get them!" ordered Rygog, as the Piranhatrons charged towards the three teens.
Carlos delivered a double clothesline to Piranhatrons #1 and #2, put both Piranhatrons #3 and #4 in a vicious double headlock, knocked down Piranhatron #5 with a mule kick, and finally threw the remaing Piranhatrons out the door.
Ashley grounded Piranhatron #6 with a vertical slash, executed a backflip to kick Pirahnatron #7 in the jaw, delivered a flying side kick to Piranhatron #8, and then took down Piranhatrons #9 and #10 with a 360° sweep.
Jenny easily mowed through Piranhatrons #11, #12, #13, and #14 with a super flurry of punches and kicks, and delivered a grand uppercut to Piranhatron #15.
Tommy, Kat, Adam, and Tanya, all unmorphed, showed up at the concert, saw the fight, and joined in, using their martial arts skills. The fight was now under control, and Rygog's bunch were defeated and retreated. The kids regrouped, as Tommy said to Jenny, Ashley, and Carlos, "You guys handled yourselves pretty well."
"I can take care of myself." replied Jenny, dusting off her knuckles.
Ashley quipped, "Me too."
Carlos wiped the sweat from his forehead, and retorted, "What a day. Twice I'm attacked by monsters, and now the concert's been postponed."
"I've seen enough bugs for one day." said Tanya in agreement.
"Come on, let's go see what's up at the Juice Bar." said Adam, as the seven teens headed off. A periscope popped out of a nearby water source.
With Elgar, Rygog, and Porto looking on, Divatox was not happy, as she watched the seven teens walk away triumphant, as well as bang her fist on the console and say, "So everybody's buddy-buddy now. It won't be long before they're on to me. No matter. I'll be ready. There will be no future for the Power Rangers!"
As they returned to the Juice Bar that evening, Tommy, Kat, Adam, Tanya, Carlos, Ashley, and Jenny all entered and sat down. The karaoke stage was still set. Quietly, four grungy band member type guys carrying musical instruments walked in.
Kat first noticed them, and asked, "Hey, isn't that...?"
"Oh my gosh it is! The Roaches! I must get their autograph!" answered Ashley, going into hyperactive fangirl mode, as she approached the band, with Jenny following behind and asking the Roaches, "Hey guys, can I get you something?"
Ashley also asked, "Will you sign my sleeve?"
Roach member #1, John, answered, "Sure. We love our fans."
Roach member #2, Paul, added, "Yay. We're really bummed we had to move the gig."
Roach member #3, Ringo, said, "So we thought this would be the best place."
Roach member #4, George, quipped, "We've got a new song we need to try out before we go into the studio tomorrow.
Jenny and Ashley exchanged looks, as Ashley said with a coy smile, "I think I can help you out."
Later that very same evening, the Roaches were now on the stage. The Juice Bar was filled with fans. The Roaches performed a great new song. All the Rangers, old and new, looked on. After the song, everyone smiled and applauded. In the midst of the applause, the Turbo Rangers were beeped. They moved off to a very secluded spot and teleported out.
Back at the Power Chamber, Alpha was with the Blue Senturion, who was now fully assembled, as the four teens entered.
Tommy asked, "What's up, Alpha?"
"I finally got Blue Senturion's replay fixed." responded Alpha.
Adam then curiously asked, "And?"
Dimitria explained, "Rangers, perhaps all your questions will now be answered."
Alpha pressed some buttons, and the Blue Senturion came to life and said, "Power Rangers, let me show you the Millenium Message." The Blue Senturion then stood up from the medical table, and the hologram from "The Millenium Message" played, but this time, it was unterrupted. Slowly, the faces of the future Power Rangers were revealed. The Turbo Rangers all looked on in awe, as the final shot of the tape freezed on the four new Rangers in spandex with their helmets off.
The End.
(The story continues in "Honey, I Shrunk the Rangers" and "Passing the Torch".)
--------------------------------------------------
Author's note: OK, I'll now explain that one tiny difference between the original script and my fanfic: First off, the original script featured a black dude named Michael, who would work with Tanya as her intern. However, since Michael was renamed T.J. and first appeared in "Passing the Torch", I was so completely careful as to edit him out of my fanfic version, as well as give some of his lines to Carlos. And finally, the reason I wrote this fanfic is to explain how Tommy, Kat, Adam, and Tanya knew who their replacements were at the end of "Passing the Torch, Part 2".
On a side note, in case you haven't guessed the lyrics in Rockin' Roach's dialogue, here they are:
1."The Power Rangers will meet their awesome end, and I don't wanna miss a thing!" = "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith, even though that song was released in 1998.
2."So you think you can stop me and destroy the detonator?" "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen.
3."Born to destroy the Power Rangers, I was born to destroy the Power Rangers!" "Born in the USA" by Bruce Springsteen.
4."Those deaf, dumb, and blind Rangers sure put up a mean fight!" = "Pinball Wizard" by The Who.
