"With all the strength of a raging fire
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon"
I'll Make A Man Out of You, Mulan

With their morphers charged and zords fully energized, it was now time to wait on their target. From almost every year, ever ranger stood at their quandaries as they waited on Ivan and his evil beings.
As each of them kept close watch, they saw the hour glass that was left in the middle of Angel Grove. It slowly released sand as the destruction of the city was near. To the left of it were some statues that the evil warlord had formed into stone-like beings.
"Oh my gosh," Aisha gulped, "Every single person that has gone through the spell has become stone," she gasped as she peered from her quandary.
"Yeah," Madison replied, "Every single one of them," she whispered as she peered over Aisha's shoulder.
Quietly, the girls plotted their move in retrieving the amthest diamonds which lay inside a treasure box. The two ranger women tried as Nick, Jason, and Aurico tried their plan in diverting the teams against Ivan.
Instantly, they spotted Kimberly. Her stone-like form was standing tall without harm as Ivan snickered and sneered his plot on the rangers. He paced around his stony grounds as he was notified by his Ooze men that there was trouble in the midst.
"Sire," one of them said as he came forward, "I smell trouble brewing in the air," he stated as he heard the footsteps of unfamiliar minions.
"Send the Tengus and the putties after them," Ivan commanded, "Every ranger will be destroyed tonight," he snickered.
Jen sent out her distress signals to the rangers. The signal reached the Cranston's home as Hayley and Billy tapped in. Billy looked at Tommy who ordered all the rangers to formation.
As all stood before him, every ranger was in their designated teams. Every single of them were in their mixed teams as they listened to Tommy's every command. With that, every ranger of every generation stood behind him as they entered the Ooze territory.
"Well, well well…" the Ooze-like creature said as he huffed, "Look who's back – the rangers made out of spandex," he snickered devilishly.
"You won't get away with this," Tommy glared at the monster, "Rangers, ready?"
"READY!" they all shouted.
"Isn't that cute? ATTACK!"
With that, every ranger morphed as the night fell. This was one of the many adventures many of them would not forget.
"Tommy, you get the diamonds and Kim," one of the rangers shouted, "We'll handle it down here," T.J. commanded.
Tommy nodded as he made his run to the statue. He gulped as he saw the hour glass continue to pour sand from its post. In distraction, a cog and Tengu warrior came face to face with him.
The three cornered him as they circled around before another ranger came to Tommy's aide. Alyssa gently tapped the Tenga and cog.
"Hey," she hollered, "What do you get when you cross a Tengu and a cog?" she asked them.
The two minions looked at her in question. They shrugged and tried kicking her and Tommy.
"Fried chicken!" she said in a laughing manner as she slammed the two together, "Ooze, you're next," she said as she fired her bow at him.
"Not that I can help it pretty girl," he hissed as he zapped her, "Now, if you two get out of my way," he assured as he took the box.
"Hey! Come back!" Trini shouted as she jumped on his back, "Get back here," she ordered.
Ivan zapped Trini into a statuette as she stood frozen. Everyone gasped as one of their own was made into stone.
With the formation of several arsenals, the rangers fired as Ivan blocked every one of them with his cape. He sneered as he grew.
"Time to call on drastic measures," Tanya instructed, "Calling all zords. We summon you from up high!" she called out from the skies.
"Tanya, be careful," Hayley warned back at the house, "All of you must be careful. There are certain consequences," she reminded.
