A/N: Due to the Dark Rangers only appearing in this two-parter, I don't see much point in naming the actress playing the Orange Dark Ranger, so sorry.
Inside the cornfield, Tommy was still behind the rock, while the Turbanshell kept looking for him.
"Come out, come out, wherever you are." Turbanshell said. "Hiding is futile, cowardly Ranger."
Tommy just stayed were he was, not sure what to do.
"I'll find you sooner or later." Turbanshell said.
Tommy, haven had enough of Turbanshell's voice, got up from behind the rock and kicked him in the chest and knocked him over. Turbanshell then rolled down the hill, before getting back up.
"I'm no coward, worm face." Tommy said. "You want me? Come and get me."
"You'll pay for that, you horrible little human." Turbanshell said, picking up his staff. He then hit Tommy in the chest with it and then pulled him over with it. "And that's just for starters."
Tommy then got up and ran away.
"I'm going to perforate you." Turbanshell said, running after him.
Tommy kept on running, until he fell into a hole in the ground, which looked like a trench.
"Without your powers you don't have a chance against me, Green Ranger." Turbanshell said. "Admit it."
Tommy then got to his knees, and then ran down along the trench.
"Why don't you just give it up?" Turbanshell asked. "Come out now, I'll take it easy on you. You have my word." He looked along the trench, but couldn't see Tommy anywhere.
Tommy was hiding behind a pile of wheats in the field, which was on the other side on the trench.
"Fe-fi-fo-fum. I smell something green and dumb." Turbanshell said, looking around.
Tommy then grabbed his leg and tripped him up, causing him to fall down the hill hard. When he got to the bottom he got back up and then jumped, as Tommy picked up his staff when he landed at the top, and then he grabbed it and threw Tommy of the hill.
"You look a little down, Green Ranger." he said, as Tommy got up. "No rest for the doomed."
(Command Center)
The Command Center was surrounded by a force field, the same type holding the other Rangers in the otherworld. Inside it, Alpha was working on the computer, trying to get rid of the force field and to contact the Rangers.
"AY-Yi-Yi-Yi-Yi!" he said. "I still can't break through Lord Zedd's energy field, Zordon."
"We must not allow him to keep us cut off from the outside world, Alpha." Zordon said.
"And there's more bad news." Alpha said, taking a piece of paper out of the computer. "Computer data reveals that the energy field around the Command Center is rapidly compressing."
"We must find a way to stop it or the pressure will cause the Command Center to implode." Zordon said.
"AY-Yi-Yi-Yi-Yi." Alpha said. "Where in the world are the Power Rangers?"
(The otherworld)
The six Rangers were still trapped in the force field, with Goldar and Lord Zedd looking at them.
"Look at you pathetic Rangers." Goldar said. "Please, master, can I crush them now?"
"Absolutely not." Lord Zedd said, surprising Goldar.
"Oh, please do not deny me that pleasure, O great one." Goldar said.
"Quiet, you fool." Lord Zedd said. "They have foiled enough of my plans. I am sending them back to Earth where, without their precious powers they will be forced to stand helplessly by as Turbanshell destroys their city."
The Rangers didn't like the sound of that.
"Yes, a fitting punishment." Lord Zedd said. "You will suffer the agony of knowing you can do nothing to save Angle Grove." He and Goldar then laughed. "Yes!" he said, casting a spell out of his staff. They carried on laughing as the Rangers disappeared.
The Rangers arrived in the park and could see no one around, and then they ran forward.
"Zordon?" Jason asked, speaking into his communicator. "Zordon, it's Jason. Come in." He got no answer.
Billy then tried his communicator, but then realized what was wrong. "The frequency's still jammed but I might be able to break through the energy field back at my lab." he said.
"It's our only chance." Zack said. "If Zedd is sending Turbanshell to mess up Angel Grove we don't have much time."
"Not to mention, those Dark Rangers might be there too." Sophie said.
"Yeah, and we still have to find Tommy." Kimberly said.
They nodded and then they all ran off.
(The cornfield)
Tommy was on his knees, looking down at the ground, before looking up at Turbanshell.
"Time to say good-bye, Green Ranger." he said.
Before he could do anything through, Goldar showed up beside him.
"Stand aside, underling." Goldar said. "I shall finish this."
"No way!" Turbanshell said. "The Green one is mine."
"Obey my order, worm, lest I feed you to the birds." Goldar said. "Our master has other plans for you. Go."
"Very well." Turbanshell said, before disappearing.
Goldar then turned to Tommy and walked towards him. "Greetings, Green Ranger." he said, as he stopped and Tommy got back up. "Or should I just call you Tommy? How does it feel to be stripped of all your powers forever?"
He then laughed as Tommy shook his head.
"Are you green with envy?" Goldar asked., before laughing. "And your humiliation is far from over." Something then appeared in his hand. "You will soon pledge your allegiance to me." he laughed.
"No way, Goldar." Tommy said. "No way."
"We shall soon see. Behold." Goldar said.
He sent out a beam from the device he was holding, and it turned into a screen, showing Tommy morphed, fighting off a bunch of Putties.
"Do you even recognize yourself, Tommy?" Goldar asked. "Do you see what a gallant hero you used to be, Green Ranger? Always willing to sacrifice, weren't you? Always ready."
Tommy then fell to his knees.
"Always there when the others need you." Goldar continued, as the screen showed Tommy and Trini fighting against Invenusable Flytrap. "You must have saved your friends a hundred times. And think of all of Rita's monsters you've destroyed. You and your powerful Dragonzord."
The screen then showed the Dragonzord comin out of the water. Goldar laughed as Tommy kept on watching.
"Witness the greatness you once were, Tommy because it's all over now." Goldar said, before laughing.
(Billy's house)
Inside the lab, Billy was working on changing the frequency of the communicators, so they could contact Zordon and Alpha. Zack and Trini where there too, watching as Billy went on.
"So how's it coming Billy?" Zack asked.
"I finally got a breakthrough." Billy said. "My communicator locked on to the electric force field surrounding the Command Center. I just need to input it into the computer." He then began typing it in.
"So will it figure out how to dismantle to force field?" Trini asked.
"Not exactly, but it may tell us how to break through it and establish contact with Zordon." Billy explained, before he carried on typing.
"We interrupt this program for a special live report." said a man's voice on the TV. "Local government sources…"
"You guys, look." Trini said.
"..have confirmed that the creature known as Turbanshell, has begun another assault on Angel Grove." said the man.
Trini, Zack and Billy all saw Turbanshell, who was giant, marching over the city.
"Oh, man." Zack said. "Attack of the 90-foot worm."
"The attack, for the moment confined to the business district downtown comes less than 24 hours after its first attack was repulsed by the Power Rangers." said the man.
Trini, Zack and Billy looked at each other.
"The origins of the monster are a mystery." said the man. "But the main question at the moment is, where are the Power Rangers when we need them?"
The three Rangers sighed, knowing they couldn't do anything until they could make contact with Zordon and Alpha.
(The palace)
Lord Zedd was sitting in his throne.
"How it must hurt those pathetic Power Rangers to have to stand idly by as my monster destroys their entire city." he said, getting up and walking towards Goldar, who was back "Very soon now the next phase of my plan begins."
"We shall conquer the Earth, my master." Goldar said.
"Yes, my loyal warrior." Lord Zedd said. "The Zords will be reprogrammed. "Are you listening to me?"
"Yes." Goldar replied.
"Good." Lord Zedd said, walking towards the balcony. "Then the Dark Rangers will make their wicked debut and the Earth shall be mine!"
(Billy's house)
Billy was still typing up the input, while the others were still watching the news, as Sophie, Jason and Kimberly came in.
"We continue our live coverage…" said the newsman.
"Have you guys seen the news?" Kimberly asked.
"..downtown Angel Grove." the newsman finished.
"Oh, he destroyed another building." Kimberly said, looking at the screen.
"I can't believe it." Sophie muttered.
"At this time, the monster known as Turbanshell continues to rampage unchecked." said the newsman.
Zack hit the table with his fist. "Man, we got to get our powers back." he said.
"We have as yet, no reports of any..." the newsman said.
"Before it's too late." Jason said.
(The cornfield)
Tommy was still on his knees when Goldar came back.
"Before I send you spinning into space with this time device," Goldar said, as Tommy turned around. "I want to hear you say I am your superior. Now!"
Tommy looked up at Goldar.
"Say it!" Goldar said.
"Goldar…" Tommy said, not sure what to say.
"Say it!" Goldar ordered.
"You are..." Tommy said.
"Yes?" Goldar asked. "Go on."
Tommy looked up at Goldar. "Out of your mind!" he said. He then jumped up, and then punched Goldar in the chest, and then kicked his sword out of his hand. He then kicked at Goldar, and then punched at him, before Goldar tripped him over.
"I shall destroy you for that!" Goldar said, picking Tommy up and throwing him further away. "I've wasted far too much time on the likes of you."
Tommy got back up as he walked towards him.
"Now I shall finish you, Green Ranger once and for all!" Goldar said.
Tommy then kicked the device out of his hand and into the air.
"No!" Goldar screamed.
The device then came back towards the ground and landed in Tommy's hand. Tommy then spun around and kicked Goldar in the chest, knocking him down.
"I almost gave up on myself, Goldar but your little picture show reminded me how much good I've done, not only as the Green Ranger but as me, plain old Tommy." Tommy said.
Goldar then got back up, but then Tommy kicked him again, and then again and again, until Goldar was knocked back to the ground.
"Give me that device!" Goldar said, getting back up as Tommy backed away.
"You want it?" Tommy asked, as Goldar started to chase him. "Come on! Come and get it. Here."
He fired a couple of beams from the device, and then Goldar disappeared.
"Yes!" he said. "Goldar is gone. But how the heck am I going to get out of here?" He then thought of something. "Wait a minute." He looked at the device. "This thing's some kind of time device. Maybe I can contact myself in the past."
He then began to fiddle with the device. "Whoa!" he said, as lighting appeared behind him. He then looked to his right, and saw his past self like it was a hologram. "Huh?" he asked.
"It's a time warp." said the hologram. "I got the message..."
Tommy looked at it as it held it's hand out, and then he saw his communicator, which he then took. He then looked at it, before the hologram disappeared.
"Yes! I'm home free." he said, putting his communicator on, and then teleported away.
(Billy's house)
Billy was still typing in the input on the computer, when he saw something. "Hey, I've got something." he said, as the others gathered around him. "The computer's broken through the force field. We should be able to get a visual on the screen."
He typed up a little more, when Tommy arrived behind them, without them knowing. Kimberly then turned around and saw him.
"Tommy!" she said, hugging him.
"Ah, man! Am I glad to see you guys." Tommy said, as Kimberly left the embrace. "I've got a lot to fill you in on."
"Same here, man." Zack said, as they shook hands.
"Yeah, and it's not good, Tommy. Any of it." Sophie said, shaking his hand.
"Power Rangers!" came Alpha's voice.
They all turned and saw him on the computer screen.
"I'm afraid there's no time to lose." he said.
"Rangers, Zedd's green crystal must be shattered to return things to normal and only a non-Power Ranger may enter Zedd's dimension undetected." Zordon explained.
"That's me." Tommy said.
"What do you mean?" Sophie asked.
"No way, man." Jason said. "It's too dangerous."
"Look, I have a personal score to settle." Tommy said.
"With Goldar?" Sophie guessed.
"Yeah." Tommy answered. "I'm ready."
"Alpha will teleport you now, Tommy." said Zordon.
"Here goes." Alpha said.
Tommy was then teleported back to the otherworld.
(The otherworld)
Tommy arrived on the side of a small hill, just outside the cave, and he could see Goldar and Lord Zedd standing in front of the Dark Rangers.
"Dark Rangers, your Zords are ready." Lord Zedd said, as Tommy jumped down and ran nearer to them. "Now your service and allegiance to Lord Zedd begins..."
Tommy grabbed the crystal before he could finish, making him turn around.
"Huh?" Lord Zedd asked, seeing Tommy. "Tommy?! No! It's impossible!"
"Afraid not, Zedd." Tommy said. "Game's over."
He then threw the crystal onto a rock and then it smashed.
"No!" Lord Zedd yelled. He then turned back to the Dark Rangers, who all de-morphed. "No! Not my Dark Rangers!" he yelled, as they disappeared. "This can't be happening to me. Not again!"
"And you've lost." Tommy said, pointing at him and Goldar. "You should know by now. You don't mess around with the Power Rangers."
He then teleported away, leaving Lord Zedd and Goldar alone and angry.
"No!" Lord Zedd yelled. "I can't be defeated. It's impossible! No!"
(Billy's house)
The other Rangers were still in the lab when Tommy returned. He laughed as the others turned around, holding their morphers.
"Our morphers." Trini said.
"They're back." Sophie grinned.
"Tommy, you did it." Kimberly said, as she and Tommy high-fived each other.
"Yeah." Tommy said. "After touching that crystal man, I feel like I can handle one more fight."
"All right then, let's do it." Jason said, before they held their morphers in front of them. "It's morphin time!"
"Dragonzord!"
"Compsognathus!"
"Mastodon!"
"Pterodactyl!"
"Triceratops!"
"Saber-tooth Tiger!"
"Tyrannosaurus!"
They all then arrived at the city and saw Turbanshell still causing havoc.
"You're back, eh?" he asked. "You don't know when you're licked."
"Look out!" Jason called.
"Whoa." Billy muttered.
"Okay, Rangers, we need..." Jason said.
"Thunder-Megazord power now!" they all shouted.
"Compsognathus Garuda Thunderzord power!"
"Mastodon Lion Thunderzord power!"
"Pterodactyl Firebird Thunderzord power!"
"Triceratops Unicorn Thunderzord power!"
"Saber-tooth Tiger Griffin Thunderzord power!"
"Tyrannosaurus Red Dragon Thunderzord power!"
The Red Dragon Thunderzord then flew into the air.
They've got a power and force that you've never seen before
The other Thunderzords moved along forward.
They've got the ability to morph and to even up the score
The Red Dragon Thunderzord then began to change into warrior mode.
No one can ever take them down
The power lies on their s-si-si-side
The warrior mode was then complete.
Go, go, Power Rangers
The other Thunderzords then combined into the Megathunderzord's armour.
Go, go, Power Rangers
The Red Dragon Thunderzord then jumped into the Unicorn and Griffin Thunderzords, and then the Firebird Thunderzord wrapped itself around the legs.
Go, go, Power Rangers...
The Lion and Garuda Thunderzords then attached themselves into their positions, the Garuda being the back while the Lion being the chest and shoulders.
"Thundermegazord, battle ready!" the Rangers shouted.
"Yum, lunch in a can." Turbanshell said, charging at it.
The Megathunderzord then charged at it.
"How about a little shell shock?" Turbanshell asked, jumping into the air and firing at the Megathunderzord.
The blasts caused smoke come up in the cockpit and also sent sparks all over. Turbanshell then put his head arms and legs inside his shell, and then flew towards the Megathunderzord and knocked it over, sending out all the Rangers with it, except Jason.
"Whoa!" they all said, before they landed on the ground.
They got to their knees and looked up. The Red Dragon Thunderzord was then hit and fell over onto the ground. Turbanshell then came out of his shell and hovered over it, as it got back up and brought out its staff.
"Uh-uh-uh. You shouldn't play with sticks like that." Turbanshell said, as it charged at him.
He then fried lasers out of his eyes at it, which then hover and surrounded it, making it unable to move and then knocked it over. Red sparks came from the Red Dragon Thunderzord's legs and then it changed back into its dragon mode, which then flew off.
"Whoa!" the Rangers said, as they got back up.
"Our Zords separated." Billy said.
"And only Jason's is left." Sophie said.
The Red Dragon Thunderzord then flew off.
"Our Zords." Kimberly said. "What are we going to do now, guys?"
Tommy, who was further away from the others, reach for his Dragon Dagger.
"We need Dragonzord." he said.
Before he could pull the dagger out, his communicator beeped.
"My communicator." he said, before answering it. "Yes, Zordon?"
"Tommy, the only way to..." Zordon said.
(Command Center)
"..defeat this monster is to hit his inner shell with intense heat, then the outside with water to freeze him." Zordon said.
(The battle)
Tommy was still listening.
"You must get inside Turbanshell's belly." Zordon explained.
"Right, Zordon." Tommy said.
"Yo! What have we here?" Turbanshell asked. "It looks like lunch for me."
He was looking at a big box of watermelons, but unknown to him, Tommy was hiding inside of it.
"That's right, worm-face." Tommy said.
"How thoughtful of someone to leave this for me." Turbanshell said. "After all, it's hungry work destroying a city."
He then picked up the box of watermelons and then ate it.
"Mmm, yum-yum!" he said, wiping his mouth. "Mmm, I'm going back to work."
"Alright, I'm in." Tommy said, holding a device Billy had given him, as he had told the others about what had to be done to stop Turbanshell. "It's indigestion time." He fired the device at Turbanshell's belly as he spun around.
"What should I destroy next?" Turbanshell asked himself, as he looked around.
He then felt a huge pain in his belly.
"My stomach!" he moaned, touching it. "Oh! What's going on inside of me?" Steam then showed up on his belly. "Oh! Heartburn!"
Inside his belly, Tommy kept firing at it, when he began to struggle.
"It's too hot to breath in here." he said.
He then fell over onto his belly.
"Whoa! What's happening to me?" Turbanshell asked, as his belly got redder. "I'm burning up inside."
The other Rangers all looked and could see what was happening.
"Tommy, what's happening in there?" Kimberly asked.
"I knew I should have stayed away from those spicy foods." Turbanshell said.
Tommy got back on his feet and looked around.
"Huh? I think it's working." he said. "I've just got to keep going."
He then fired the device again.
"That's it." Turbanshell said, touching his belly. "From now on. I'm sticking to bland foods."
The Rangers kept on watching.
"Be careful, Tommy." Kimberly said. "You can do it!"
"Let me chill this dude." Zack said.
"That's right." Kimberly said, looking at him. "The water-as soon as you hit him with it..."
"Right." Zack said, interrupting her. "Come on, guys."
"I'm right behind you, Zack." Sophie said.
They both then jumped over to a fire hose and picked it up.
"Let's see how you like my deep freeze?" Zack asked, as they held it up towards Turbanshell, as water came out.
"Oh, no!" Turbanshell moaned, as the water hit him. "Not water! No! Anything but that! Oh! Terrific. Just what I needed-a Ice Cream headache!" He was touching his head. "Oh, hey! Cut it out!" His body then began to freeze up. "Whoa, I'm freezing my shell off over here! Oh, man!"
He then began to break up, as Tommy was spat out of his mouth and over to Kimberly, Trini and Billy.
"Whoa!" Tommy said, before he hit the ground.
"Tommy!" Kimberly said, running over to him. "Tommy, are you all right?" She then got down on her knees beside him. "We were so worried you were never gonna get out of there. Are you hurt?"
"I'll be fine." Tommy said. "What about the monster?"
"I think you did it." Kimberly said.
Billy and Trini then ran over to them.
"Excellent." Billy said, touching Tommy's shoulder. "That was great teamwork."
"Yeah." Kimberly said.
"Thanks, Billy." Tommy said. "This Mega-heater of yours worked perfectly."
"Thanks." Billy said, taking the Mega-heater off him.
"No time to talk, guys." Kimberly said.
"Let's show him some Megazord power." Trini said.
"Right." Kimberly said.
The Red Dragon Thunderzord then changed back into its warrior mode.
"Zords are back online, you guys." Kimberly said. "Let's do it."
"Let's go!" Billy said.
They then all jumped back into their Thunderzords, and then the Red Dragon Thunderzord got into the Unicorn and Griffin Thunderzords, and then the Firebird Thunderzord wrapped itself around the legs. The Lion and Garuda Thunderzords then attached themselves into their positions, the Garuda being the back while the Lion being the chest and shoulders.
"Megathunderzord, power up!" the Rangers said.
The now frozen Turbanshell looked worried. The Megathunderzord then brought out the Thunder Saber, then powered it up, and then hit Turbanshell, destroying him, before putting it back.
(Youth Center)
A while later, they were all at the Youth Center. Sophie, Tommy, Jason, Kimberly and Zack were sitting at a table while Trini and Billy sat by the counter.
"Psst." Trini said, getting the others attention. "Zordon said the Dark Rangers will return home with absolutely no memory of what happened."
"That's cool." Jason said, as the Dark Rangers walked past him.
"They're they are." Zack said, spotting them.
The Dark Rangers walked up to the counter.
"Give me six sodas?" Justin asked Richie, who was on the other side.
"Got it." Richie said.
"You know what?" Kimberly asked, as they looked at them. "Maybe what they need are some friends."
"Yeah." Jason said. "Come on."
They all nodded and then walked over to the Dark Rangers.
"That'll be 4:50." Richie said, handing the sodas out, as Ernie came up behind him.
Justin was about to pay, when Jason stopped him.
"I got this one." Jason said.
"Thanks, man." Justin said, surprised.
"No problem." Jason said, paying for the sodas. "What do you say we start over?"
He held out his hand, and then Justin looked at the others, who all nodded.
"Okay. Why not?" Justin asked, linking hands with Jason.
"Hi." Kimberly said.
"Tina." Tina said, shaking Trini's hand.
"Sadie." Sadie said, shaking Sophie's.
"Sophie." Sophie replied.
"Hi. How are you?" Kristen asked.
"All right." Tommy said.
(Command Center)
Later, the Rangers all went to the Command Center, to discuss Tommy's powers.
"Once again, you've done great work, Rangers." Zordon said. "Congratulations."
"So I take it the Command Center is back to normal?" Trini asked.
"Yes, Trini." Zordon said. "The force field disintegrated as soon as Tommy destroyed Zedd's crystal."
"You saved us." Alpha said, as the other Rangers looked at Tommy.
"Yeah, man you saved us too." Zack said. "Thanks."
"Yeah, I owe you one." Sophie said.
"You fought Turbanshell, Goldar and even went to Lord Zedd's chamber without even having your powers." Kimberly said.
"You're a true hero Tommy." Billy said, touching Tommy's shoulder.
"Thanks, guys." Tommy said. "You know, there was a moment back there when I almost gave up but then I realized it's not just the costume power that gives me strength but it's who and what I am inside that really impowers me."
"You'll always be one of us, Tommy." Jason said.
"If not in person, in spirt." Sophie said.
Tommy sighed. "Yeah, I'll miss you guys when we're out on school break." he said. "But I'll hold you all close to my heart. One last time."
He put his hand in the center of the circle they were in.
"Sure." Sophie said, as they all put their hands on top of it.
"Power Rangers!" they all said, jumping up.
