(We begin roadside, as Jason, Zack, Billy and Kimberly appear to pack for a big trip.)
Kimberly: I'm so excited to be going camping, you guys.
Jason: I know. I haven't been camping since my dad used to take me when I was little.
Zack: This'll be a new experience for me. Brothas don't do "the outdoors." Not since Lincoln put a stop to that at least.
Kimberly: Oh don't be such a baby Zack. It'll be fun. I just wish Tommy could have come along.
Zack: So much for "I'll always be your friends" after he lost his powers. You'd think he dropped dead or something.
Kimberly: He didn't. He's just really bummed. He's throwing himself into his martial arts to keep busy. I feel sorry for him.
"Hi guys!"
(From the corner of their eyes, Trini arrives holding a tray of pastries.)
Trini: Sorry I'm late. I baked these in my gourmet cooking class to take along on our trip.
Zack: Ooh.
(Instantly, the team rushes over to grab her pasties and begin blindly shoving them into their mouths.)
Zack: Mm.
Jason: What is in these?
Trini: It's an exotic recipe. Very popular in France right now. They call it Torte A La Escargot.
Zack: Escargot?
Kimberly: Tasty.
(As the others blissfully continue to chew, Billy remains frozen with a mouthful of desert.)
Billy: (Gulps) In other words, snail.
(Everyone freezes suddenly, then wait for Trini to turn away as they spit everything out to the floor behind them. She turns back around…)
Trini: All ready to go our trip?
(She's greeted by wide, synthetic smiles.)
Zack: Yep!
Jason: (Coughs) Come on, guys.
(They all turn to get in the rad bug, but Trini notices something off.)
Trini: Hey wait.
Kimberly: What's wrong?
Trini: Aren't we missing someone?
"Hey everyone."
(Right on cue Robbie walks in.)
Kimberly: Tommy said he didn't feel up for the trip unfortunately.
Robbie: She means me, genius. No one cares where Tommy is.
Kimberly: …
Robbie: I'm not going. I have company.
(He points down to a small, light skinned girl with freckles and pigtails, holding a lollipop.)
Billy: Cute girl.
Robbie: Thanks. Say thank you.
Girl: Thank you!
Jason: You know the term "cradle robbing" is just an expression right? You're not supposed to actually rob a cradle.
Robbie: Very funny. Everyone, this is my niece Laura.
"Hi Laura!"
Robbie: Laura, these are people I have to interact with.
Laura: Hi!
Trini: Aww, she's so adorable!
(Trini kneels down to get at eye level with Laura.)
Kimberly: Yeah, how is she related to you?
Robbie: I'd give you a nasty look for that Kim, but I see you've already got one.
Kimberly: (Rolls eyes) …
Robbie: C'mon Laura, we've got fishing to do. Wave goodbye.
Laura: (Waves) Bye-bye!
Trini: Bye Laura!
Billy: Have fun!
Robbie: Ooh, look.
(Robbie sees Trini's tray of cookies, grabs a fistful of them for himself and starts eating them.)
Robbie: These are good.
Trini: Thank you?
Robbie: Here Laura, have some.
(He hands some over to her as they walk off. Meanwhile on the moon, Rita and her clan take note of the ranger's big trip…)
Squatt: Oh, goody, they're going away!
Baboo: This is just what her nastiness has been waiting for.
Goldar: So what's the plan, your Evilness?
Squatt: A spa day perhaps?
Rita: No. We find the Mirror of Destruction.
Squatt: (Gasps) The one that can destroy Super Putties?
Rita: Yes, into a million pieces. That mirror's power will destroy anything reflected in it.
Baboo: As opposed to Squatt's mirror that just needs him to look at it to be destroyed.
Squatt: Harsh.
Rita: We'll start the search today. While the rangers aren't around to stop me.
Goldar: Yes my empress! Today will mark the beginning of the end of the power rangers!
(Back on earth, Robbie and Laura continue walking hand in hand through the park, on the way to the piers.)
Laura: Uncle Robbie?
Robbie: Yes?
Laura: What do you do here?
Robbie: I don't know. (Sighs) Sleep mostly. I go to school.
Laura: …
Robbie: I guess when you think about it we're all slowly dying.
Laura: What?
(Robbie remembers he's speaking to a four year old and rethinks what he's saying.)
Robbie: I… just have fun with my friends here.
Laura: Were those your friends we saw?
Robbie: Yes. (Shrugs) Sometimes.
Laura: Why aren't you in New York with my mommy and daddy?
Robbie: (Sighs) I don't know Laura. That's… more of a question for your mom to answer. I just know that although I don't get to see you that often, it just makes the time I do see you extra special. Like Santa for example. I want to have as much fun as possible with you while you're here.
Laura: (Gasps) I love Santa!
Robbie: Cool. That's what you get out of that. Okay.
(They continue down the road where they pass by Bulk and Skull shoveling slices or greasy pizza into their mouths.)
Bulk: (Mumbling) You see Skull, the beauty of the Sloppy Joe's Pizza is that you can make a huge funnel and thereby jam more pizza down your throat.
(Bulk combines two slices of pizza together like a sandwich and proceeds to let it hover over his face to let the grease fall into his mouth. Skull points to his side.)
Skull: Oh, look. It's Robbie.
Robbie: …And afterwards I can take you the Youth Center for some milkshakes.
Laura: What's a "Youth Center?"
Robbie: Um. It's like Subways but worse.
Bulk: Hey, Rob. Who's the pipsqueak?
Laura: (Points) Is this the "stupid fat man" you were talking about?
Skull: Hey, Bulk, you're famous.
Bulk: …
Robbie: Nice shirt, Bulk. Does it come with extra cheese?
Bulk: You know, I don't like your attitude. Come on. I think it's time for me to teach you a little lesson.
(Bulk slams his slices onto the counter and starts to get up aggressively, startling Laura.)
Laura: Uh oh!
Robbie: Hey buddy, I'm with a little girl. You wanna be a tough guy some other time?
Bulk: No. What a better time to show your little niece that the man she looks up to is nothing but a little boy.
(Bulk uses his arms as leverage to get up, but his hand slips over the slices still in his hand. He slips, then slams his face into the picnic table, over the entire pie.)
Skull: Hey! I was eating that!
(Though dazed, Bulk tries to play it off. His face and shirt however are covered in grease and cheese.)
Bulk: Uhh…
Laura: Hahaha. He's funny, Uncle Robbie.
Robbie: Yeah I know.
Laura: He's a biiiig cheese ball.
Robbie: Hey watch your language. This is a kid's show.
(He continues down the road with Laura in hand, ignoring Bulk and Skull. Elsewhere, the rest of the team heads for their camping trip as Billy drives them through downtown Angel Grove.)
Kimberly: (Looking out the window) The same car keeps following us, you guys.
Jason: Those are cabs, Kim. They all look the same.
Kimberly: But the same man is driving every car.
Jason: Well, that's just racist.
Kimberly: Oh…
(While the others remain lost in conversation, Trini stays to herself in the back passenger side. Flipping through her diary hidden between her legs which are propped up on her seat. She flips through pictures of her and Kimberly, her and her cousins as she finds a blank page to start her next entry.)
"Dear Diary I'm heading out camping with the guys today. So I'm keeping busy by writing this entry. I don't normally have a problem keeping busy as you know. I'll remind you that I'm the president of the school science committee, volunteer on community projects for my temple. I'm on the honor roll in school, a black belt in Kung Fu, while studying
Not all of us are coming though. Robbie isn't."
(She pauses.)
"His niece is in town so he's spending time with her. Still, I'm not sure he would've been dying to come. He's been pretty distant lately. He's not rude or anything. Not to me at least. Just distant. As if he's filed me away as just another person in his life. As if he doesn't care anymore."
(She sighs.)
"When I told him what I told him, I didn't intend to never spend time with him again. Quite the opposite, I really love being with him. When we're alone together, he really opens up like I've never seen him. He's a whole different person. He's really funny and charming. And he makes me feel… I don't know how to say it… appreciated. I feel like the most important person in the world. Which is a really nice feeling.
Lately though we haven't had that chance to spend time together. Almost like he's avoiding it. I wish he understood that my not wanting to pursue anything with him only means that I feel like I can't handle it right now. Not that I wouldn't actually really like that.
I've never had a boyfriend before. Actually before that last sentence, I don't remember the last time I even used that word. It feels strange coming out of my mouth. And scary. I don't know for sure if that's what he really wanted or not, but I guess the ship sailed regardless. It's really sad. For while it lasted it was a much more wonderful feeling than I could have ever imagined. I wish the circumstances were different. Or I wish I weren't such a chicken. I would love to call Robbie Clemente my very first bo—"
"What are you writing?!"
Trini: (Gasps) …!
(Zack leans in and tries to read what Trini is writing. Her heart rips through her chest as she impulsively pulls it away.)
Billy: Is it a fan fiction?!
Trini: (Heavy breathing) …
Billy: Don't be embarrassed, tons of people write fan fiction. I have a Friends fic where Ross and Monica date in the glove compartment. Check it out! …Trini?
Trini: (Heavy breathing) …
Kimberly: (Points out the window) Look, he's following us again!
(Meanwhile on the moon, Rita, who continues to look on notices that Angel Grove is not completely ranger free…)
Rita: What's Robbie doing there?
Squatt: Fishing?
Rita: He's there after you said the Rangers were gone. Finding the mirror will have to wait till my Putties take care of him!
(Back on earth, Robbie and Laura have reached the piers and have begun fishing. Their feet dangle off the as the boardwalk enjoy a gentle quiet breeze.)
Laura: Do you have a job Uncle Robbie?
Robbie: I do. It's not a regular job though.
Laura: Do you wear a tie?
Robbie: (Shrugs) Only when I'm in front of a judge.
Laura: My daddy wears ties to work.
Robbie: That's good.
(Realizing that his quips aren't landing to his four year old audience, Robbie tries again to connect on her level.)
Robbie: What do you want to be when you grow up?
Laura: A power ranger!
Robbie: (Grins) A power ranger? That's so cool!
Laura: Yeah. They get to beat up monsters and save the world. And everybody loves them.
Robbie: Nice. Well that's really admirable.
Laura: Yeah. I'm gonna be the pink ranger.
Robbie: And now you lost me.
Laura: Why?
(He laughs to himself.)
Robbie: You should be the yellow ranger. She's way better.
(Robbie stares off meaningfully into the ocean after his statement.)
Laura: Isn't he a boy?
Robbie: …
(Before he can respond, Robbie spots a horde of putty patrollers falling from the skies behind him.)
Robbie: Putties!
Laura: (Gasps) Monsters!
(Instinctively he shoots up, standing in front of his niece for protection.)
Laura: What are we going to do?
Robbie: Stay behind me! Watch your back.
(Robbie approaches them cautiously as they begin to surround him and him only. The first enemy drops down and attempts a leg sweep. Robbie leaps over the attempt and comes down with a stiff punch in the face. Looking on from the fetal position, Laura looks in awe.)
Laura: Wow…
(He quickly finds two more putties replacing the one that dropped. They swing at him, but Robbie blocks one and shoves him with his boot off the pier and into the ocean. The other makes an overhead swing, but Robbie blocks it, spins him around and swiftly summons all his strength to suplex the enemy over his head, taking him out.)
Laura: So cool…
(Robbie gets up and quickly dodges a flying putty patroller coming for his head, then charges for one last putty and takes him out with a flying forearm. He gets back up, running out of breath, but challenges those that remain.)
Robbie: You want some?! Get out!
(But foot soldiers want none of him and flee, leaving Robbie and Laura safe.)
Laura: (Runs over) Wow! You saved me.
Robbie: (Panting) Yeah. Don't mention it.
Laura: But my daddy said never to solve problems with violence. "Brains before brawn" he always says.
Robbie: (Panting) Your father's a wimp.
Laura: Okay! I'd never thought I'd actually see a monster though!
Robbie: Well if you ever want to see me again you'd keep this between us.
Laura: (Gasps) Look!
(She points to something floating in the ocean heading in their direction.)
Robbie: It's just trash…
Laura: It's a bottle. Looks like it has a note inside.
(Just to amuse her, he reaches over the pier and picks it up.)
Laura: You think it's from a prince?
(He pops the bottle open and pulls out what's inside.)
Laura: It's a map. You think there's treasure?
Robbie: I… don't know?
(Suddenly, the earth begins to rumble.)
Robbie: Whoa! Look out!
Laura: Ahh! What's happening?!
(Laura, who was previously hopping up and down with excitement, now struggles to keep her footing and almost falls into the ocean if not for Robbie grabbing her by the wrist. He pulls her off the pier and into solid ground. Suspecting more than just an earthquake, Robbie decides to investigate.)
Robbie: Get down! Get down!Laura: …Robbie:Wait here! I'll be right back.
(Robbie runs for cover, map in hand. With the coast clear, he reaches for his communicator.)
Robbie: Zordon, come in.
Zordon: Robbie, my sensors are picking up something unusual in the Morphing Grid. Take Laura to a safe place.
Robbie: You don't need to tell me twice.
(Meanwhile away from the city and in the open road, the other rangers pull over, hoping the quaking will soon stop.)
Trini: Oh, my gosh.
Billy Everybody hold on.
(Back by the piers, it finally quiets down. An eerily loud silence takes over ad Robbie checks in on his niece.)
Robbie: Laura, are you okay?
Laura: This is cool. I can't wait to tell my mommy!
Robbie: (Sighs) …
(Reassured that she's fine, he causally unrolls the map and checks it out. Meanwhile from the moon…)
Rita: That map leads to the Mirror of Destruction. And once I've got my hands on it, brown ranger will suffer the same fate as all the others.
Goldar: It will zap them so hard, they won't know what hit them.
Scorpina: We need that map. Go and get it, Scorpina.
(Scorpina, a vicious, yet deceptively beautiful humanoid scorpion appears next to Goldar. A new top henchwoman of Rita, she readies herself for her next assignment.)
Scorpina: Yes, my empress.
Rita: Finster, make me a monster to go with her.
Finster: (Bows) Already on it my queen. I shall send down the "Rockstar."
(Moments later, Scorpina heads down to earth to commence her attack. Looking over Robbie from a nearby rocky hill, she's joined by the Rockstar: A tall, gargoyle-esque monster, made completely of rock with the shoulders of a football player. Laura is quick to notice them and points them out.)
Laura: Who's that?
Robbie: Uh oh. Scorpina!
Laura: (Mockingly) Ooooh. Is she your girlfriend?
Robbie: No Laura. She's bad news.
Laura: (Mockingly) Ooooh. Is she your ex-girlfriend?
Robbie: No. You need to go. Go, get out of here. I'll get you later.
(He gently but firmly pushes her away from the back as he prepares for a battle.)
Robbie: Don't let anything happen to that map.
Laura: (Runs) Okay…
Scorpina: Brown ranger, I have four words for you: Hand over the map.
Robbie: Oh yeah? Well I've got seven words for you: I've got one word for you: Never!
(Next to Scorpina, The Rockstar tries to count Robbie's words, but Scorpina has other plans.)
Scorpina: It's time for your destruction. Now Rockstar, attack!
Rockstar: Uh…? Okay!
(The Rockstar leaps into action as Robbie reaches for his morpher…)
Robbie: It's morphin time!
"Stegosaurus!"
(Now morphed, Robbie anticipates the Rockstar who planned to crash on top of him. Robbie ducks out of harm's way, but can barely make a scratch on the enemy made of stone, and instead he hurts himself after a connecting punch.)
Robbie: (Grimacing) AHHHHHHH! What the heck was that?!
Rockstar: Face it, brown ranger. You're outmatched. Your weakling offense is no match for the likes of me. I'm built like a boulder! Ahahaha.
Robbie: Yeah. Clever.
Rockstar: And you know what else is?! Catch!
(The Rockstar holds out his arms where a large boulder forms. He chucks them at Robbie, who catches it, but struggles to stand.)
Robbie: Ugh. This weighs a ton! I can't get this off me!
(He collapses under the weight of the now attached boulder, but Rockstar wasn't done yet as he continues to fire off more and more rocks, until eventually Robbie is buried alive.)
Scorpina: Ahahahaha!
(At the command center, Zordon and Alpha take notice of the brewing trouble.)
Alpha: Aye, ya, yai! That Rockstar is one tough monster. Robbie doesn't stand a chance pinned down like that. He's a sitting duck. What will we do?
Zordon: Alpha, we must contact the other Power Rangers. They are the only ones who can save him.
(Back in the open road the rangers remain pulled over, taking stock after the quake settled down.)
Jason: Is everyone okay?
Billy: Yeah, I think so.
Trini: Oh no. My cookies got crushed.
Kimberly: (Feigning sadness) Aw man! That's horrible.
Zack: (Feigning sadness) Crap, man! This day can't get any worse!
Trini: …
(Just then, Jason's communicator rings.)
Jason: Zordon, I read you.
Zordon: Teleport to the Angel Grove pier immediately. Robbie is in danger.
Trini: …
Zack: So much for our weekend getaway.
Kimberly: We ask Robbie to protect the earth one night and this is what happens.
Jason: We're on our way, Zordon. It's morphin time!
"Mastodon!"
"Pterodactyl!"
"Triceratops!"
"Sabretooth Tiger!"
"Tyrannosaurus!"
(Within moments, the rangers arrive in the piers to rescue Robbie. To their horror, they find him buried under a mountain of boulders and rush over to dig him out.)
Billy: Oh no.
Trini: Robbie!
Robbie: Ugh…
Jason: Don't worry, Rob. We'll free you.
(The rangers manage to quickly dig him free and pull him out of a rocky tomb. He gasps far sweet air.)
Trini: Robbie…
Jason: Are you all right?
Robbie: (Gasping) I'm good…Thanks. Not what I had in mind when Scorpina offered to get stoned with a Rockstar.
(Suddenly, he stops mid-thought...)
Robbie: Oh no! We got to find Laura! She's got the map that Scorpina's looking for.
Trini: Oh no.
Kimberly: Let's go.
(The ranger team rushes off into the woods to look for Laura. Meanwhile, Laura wanders through the woods, looking for her uncle.)
Laura: Uncle Robbie? Where are you? I'm scared…
(On the other side…)
Robbie: Man. I hope she's okay.
Trini: Laura!
Kimberly: Laura!
Billy: Laura!
Jason: Jeremy! I uh, I mean, Laura…
(Just then, Jason's communicator rings again.)
Jason: Zordon, we read you.
Zordon: Jason, you must fight Scorpina and her Rockstar monster at the beach club.
Robbie: What about Laura?
Trini: Don't worry, Robbie. I'll find her
Robbie: Okay… thanks.
Zordon: You must go immediately.
Jason: All right! Let's do it!
(Within a moment's notice, the rangers return to the pier and prepare for battle.)
"Power Rangers!"
Scorpina: Attack!
(Surrounded by the Rockstar and a horde of putty patrollers, Scorpina leads the charge as a fight breaks loose. The rangers try to make quick work of the putties: Robbie flips over one by the arm. While Kimberly, flying through the air, fires off a few arrows from her power bow aimed at Scorpina.)
Scorpina: I think not!
(Scorpina however, swipes each shot away and takes her down mid-air with her boomerang blade. Jason rushes in with his power sword in hand and covers for Kim while engaging in a duel with Rita's top henchwoman. Zack and Billy however seem to be having a difficult time with the Rockstar. Their weapons are out, but they're easily being swiped aside.)
Zack: Ah man. We can't make a dent on this guy.
Billy: His stone exterior appears to make him impervious to physical attacks.
Zack: Yeah and he's invincible.
(Suddenly a voice calls from the sky…)
"Scorpina, you've got to find that kid with the map. Forget these power pukes."Scorpina: (Nods) Yes my queen.(Meanwhile…)
Laura: Hello? Uncle Robbie? Please come out... I'm scared.
(Scared and lost, Robbie's four year old niece wanders aimlessly through the forest.)
Laura: This isn't funny. (Sniffs) I'm telling mommy.
"Aherm…"
(Behind her, a voice appears.)
Laura: Uncle Robbie…?
Scorpina: I'm afraid not.
Laura: …
(In a horrifying turn for the four year old, Laura finds herself face to face with Scorpina and Rockstar.)
Scorpina: Hand over the map little girl.
Laura: …
Scorpina: What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?
Laura: (Voice shivering) My mommy said I shouldn't talk to strangers…
Scorpina: I bet your mommy also wants you back alive. Now hand it over. I won't ask you twice.
Laura: But you already did.
Scorpina: (Sighs) Get her!
Laura: Ahhhhhh!
(Instinctively she turns around and runs for her life. Meanwhile, back at the piers, the rangers continue to fight off the swarm of putties. Billy however notices something odd…)
Billy: Wait, where's Scorpina?!
Zack: Where's the Rockstar?
Robbie: Oh no.
(Meanwhile, as Laura runs for her dear life, Trini continues her search.)
Trini: Laura?! Laura?!
(Close by, Laura trips and falls. She grabs her knee and whimpers in agony, but quickly realizes she tripped over something protruding from the ground.)
Laura: What is that?
Scorpina: She found the mirror!
(Laura brushes off the dirt and dust and picks up the giant flat object.)
Scorpina: Look out!
(She opens it, fortunately facing away from her, as a powerful beam is unleashed from the mirror that bursts the Rockstar into flames. Scorpina rolls out of the way just in time, saving her own life. The sound of the explosion attracts Trini's attention, but concerns her.)
Trini: Huh? That doesn't sound good.
Laura: Uh oh. I didn't do it!
Scorpina: Okay, you've had it.
Trini: Freeze, Scorpina.
(Within seconds Trini appears, pointing her blade blaster at Scorpina's back.)
Laura: (Gasps) The yellow ranger!
(But before this goes much further, Rita takes action from the moon…)
Rita: Now, Scorpina, grooooooooow!
(She chucks her wand over the balcony, reaching earth and landing next to Scorpina. With a rip in the ground, a magic steam engulfs Rita's henchwoman and before long she grows to the size of a giant. Trini barely manages to grab Laura and moves her to a safer place.)
Scorpina: Now you're mine.
Jason: Look! It's Scorpina.
Robbie: Uh…
(Moments later she rejoins the team.)
Robbie: Trini? What about…
Trini: She's safe. I found her and moved her.
Robbie: (Exhales) Okay… great.
Jason: Now let's take care of business.
"Right."
Jason: We need Dinozord power, now!
(With a huge blast and an even bigger crater opening, the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex appears through the flames, roaring fearlessly as it rises from the earth. From an icy tundra, the Mastodon rises with a loud blowing of its trunk. From the desert, the Triceratops races right into action. From the top of a hill the ferocious Saber-toothed Tiger jumps down to a vine filled rainforest. Finally, a volcano erupts and through all the smoke and ash, the pterodactyl rips through the sky, flying to Angel Grove. Jason sees his Dinozord within sight and flies through the air to get in the cockpit. He is followed by his team…)
Jason: Log on.
Zack: Zack here, let's do this thing!
Billy: This is Billy. All systems go.
Trini: Trini here, ready to rock!
Kimberly: Let's rock and roll.
Jason: Megazord, power on!
(The five mighty Zords are seen running together, getting ready to become one. First the Saber tooth tiger's legs fold up to create a leg, the Triceratops tail tucks in to for the other. They combine with the Tyrannosaurus's legs, forming the first half of the Megazord. Next, the Mastodon's back splits in two down the middle and its head separates. The former spreads out and attaches to the back of the Tyrannosaurus, making the arms and the head attaches to the torso.)
Zack: Let's teach Scorpina to mess with people her own size.
Jason: Activating Megazord Battle Mode.
"Megazord sequence has been initiated."
(The two legs remain planted as the rest of the body lifts upward to a standing position. The final piece, the Pterodactyl, circles the Megazord and flies toward it, tucking in its wings and head. The Tyrannosaurus head folds into its chest, revealing the Megazord's head before the Pterodactyl combines with the mighty Zord, creating the chest piece. And with one final fighting stance, the Zord speaks…)
"Megazord activated."
(On the ground, Robbie calls for the StegaZord…)
Robbie: I call upon the power of the Stegosaurus!
(In a faraway tropical forest, there is a sudden violent tremble. The birds scatter away for cover as the ground below starts to rise. The prehistoric beast bursts through and starts climbing out to march into battle. Robbie spots it from a distance as it roars into Angel Grove and flies into the Zord's cockpit.)
Robbie: Combat mode, now!
(The Zord stops dead in its tracks, leaving a trail of dust behind it as a crank like sound can be heard from within. The Zord begins to rise all the way to its hind legs. Its front paws sticks out before flip inside of itself, revealing clenched fists from the other side. Finally its long, plated tail stiffens and starts to rise up connecting plate side out against its back with the tip resting on top of its head.)
Robbie: Alright Scorpina. I'll teach you to mess with my family.
(Immediately, the StegaZord bullishly charges into action. Robbie takes a swing at Scorpina but misses, and is greeted by her sharp right claw. The Megazord jumps in but eats her boomerang blade down the chest.)
Zack: Ugh!
Jason: Hang tight guys.
(The Megazord pushes Scorpina away to create some room, but she kicks at their abdomen creating a sea of sparks. Robbie jumps back in, firing off several plate mines from the top of the Stegosaurus's head. The blast pushes Scorpina back and gives the rangers a momentary advantage.)
Laura: Go get em power rangers!
(Meanwhile, Laura excitedly mimes punches along with the rangers as they continue their fight. Scorpina is far from finished though, wrapping her venom filled tail on the back of her head around StegaZord, pulling it down with a powerful electing force. The Megazord tries to intervene, but she is too quick – jumping out of danger and landing three more strikes with her boomerang blade that takes the rangers down.)
Laura: Oh no. The rangers are losing… What am I gonna do?!
(She turns around and finds the mirror of destruction laying on the floor.)
Laura: (Gasps) I know!
Meanwhile, the rnagers and their Zords stagger back to their feet.)
Billy: We're taking significant damage.
Trini: She's too powerful.
Robbie: Man, I could see who wear's the pants in Goldar's home.
Scorpina: It's my house. Get that straight, rangers.
"Power rangers!"
Jason: Huh?
(A feint voice is heard from far away...)
Kimberly: (Points downward) Look there.
Robbie: It's my niece!
(Everyone suddenly looks down to find Laura holding the mirror of destruction, which takes up her entire torso.)
Laura: Hide your eyes!
Billy: She's got the mirror!
Jason: Look away!
(She bravely opens the mirror toward Scorpina which fires off a deadly beam that hits her dead on.)
Scorpina: AHHHHH!
(She's badly injured by the attack and rolls around in agony.)
Jason: She did it!
Robbie: What a little hero!
Kimberly: Again, how is she related to you?
Robbie: …
(Scorpina remains alive. Despite this, the rangers have their opening…)
Jason: Here's our chance! Power Sword!
(The Power Sword appears from the sky. The Megazord catches it and prepares for its final attack.)
Scorpina: You'll pay for this, Power Rangers.
(Scorpina wisely flees before that can happen, leaving the rangers victorious.)
Jason: Don't count on it.
(On the moon, Rita seems none too pleased…)
Rita: You failed me, Scorpina. You're supposed to show these guys how it's done and instead you showed me how they've done it!
Scorpina: Yes. My empress. I apologize my empress. I won't make the same mistake again.
Squatt: What a relief to hear Rita go after Scorpina for a change.
Baboo: That's one thing about Rita. She doesn't discriminate.
Squatt: She's an equal opportunity destroyer.
Goldar: I would have been eager to help her my empress. But the bus didn't come on time, so I went back home.
(Back on earth and later in the day, the rangers, who were forced to scrap their plans for a camping trip instead are seen mostly in the Youth Center hallway, being debriefed by Zordon.)
Zordon: Another job well done, Rangers.
Jason: Thanks, Zordon.
Billy: By the way, where is Laura? I hope she's okay.
Kimberly: Uh. Yeah I'm sure she's just fine.
(They turn the corner and enter the lobby to find that she's attracted quite a large crowd by the juice bar.)
Laura: And then I kicked the monster like this. (Kicks) But then, just when he was about to get me, this magical mirror blew him up into a zillion pieces. Bang!
(Among the crowd, Robbie and Trini enjoy Laura's somewhat distorted version of the events.)
Trini: To think we were stuck at that boring field trip.
Laura: But then Power Rangers- they were the coolest. Man, you should have seen them.
Trini: Oh, you've met the Power Rangers?
Laura: Sure did. There was also the scorpion lady and this monster called the "Rockstar." He was made of rocks.
(The other rangers join in on the fun.)
Billy: Quite the idiosyncratic name.
Laura: Yeah. And he spit out these rocks as big as houses.
Trini: Really?
Laura: Really.
Zack: But tell us about these rangers. Who did you think was the coolest one?
Robbie: Was it the brown one?
Laura: (Giggles) Silly, there was no brown one.
Robbie: …
Laura: The yellow ranger saved me. She's the coolest. Just like Uncle Robbie said.
Trini: Oh really?
(Both Robbie and Trini instantly blush as Robbie snatches his niece off the barstool.)
Robbie: Let's go, Laura. Say goodbye. Time to take you to the bus stop.
Laura: Bye everyone!
Kimberly: Bye. Hope you had a good time!
Laura: I had a wild time!
Robbie: A wild time your mother will never find out about.
Laura: Why?!
Robbie: You kidding? I'd never see you again. I'd rather you tell her that welt on your knee was just I hit you.
Laura: Okay!
Robbie: Don't tell her that!
(Robbie's friends laugh at his folly, as the episode comes to a close.)
