Shoutouts:

At the S.P.D. base, Boom was in the lab with some kind of device in front of him. Some kind of signal was coming in and it had him worried. So, Boom carried the device all the way to the command center. "I can't drop this! Can't drop this!" he said out loud. "Got to get to Cruger! Got to get to Kat!"

In the lounge, Syd and Bridge were building something with magnets. Boom was running through the hall with the device in his hands, weaving in and out of the cadets. He then runs into the lounge just as Bridge was about to set a piece onto what he and Syd were putting together.

"Hey!" exclaimed Syd.

"Me…no, this radio…important…with Cruger and Kat and ranger…" said Boom. Syd and Bridge just looked up at him with a look of confusion. "Just follow me now!" he tells them and runs out of the lounge. He then runs by Sky and Z with Bridge and Syd on his trail. The four rangers and lab assistant came into the command center.

"Cadets, I have told you before this is not a place of play." said Cruger.

"Not play." said Boom, sounding out of breath. "Big trouble. Listen, I've been working on this for a while now, on my own time, with the help of Leah getting the parts I need. I built a radio receiver."

"How cute! He built a radio, and now he wants us all to hear it!" said Syd.

"Not when you have to scrounge around junk yards to find anything that's useable." said Leah. "It took me a while to find all the necessary equipment that he needed."

"No, you have to hear this. Anyway I was thinking…" said Boom. "Where do radio waves go when we're done listening to them? Or radio waves from yesterday or even 10 years ago?"

"I've been wondering that myself." said Leah.

"Out in space…that's where." said Boom, ignoring what Leah had said. "so I built this receiver to pick up free radical radio waves in space, thinking I'd get, you know, the 1932 world series or even an old presidential debate but…but, no. just listen."

Moving one of the buttons to get the frequency, they heard a man's voice on the other end. "If anyone can hear this, please send help. Today, July 11th, is the 15th anniversary of the Troobian takeover of our planet, earth."

"A radio broadcast from space?" asked Jack and then starts laughing about it. "What a hoax." Brooke looks away from everyone, knowing what could actually happen.

"Just…listen." urged Boom.

"July 11th, the same day Space Patrol Delta fell, leaving us defenseless. The Troobian forces have flushed out all but a few pockets of freedom fighters." said the man on the radio. Brooke looks up and sees the sparkling ball of light, her face filled with fear. "We have sent out Omega but have not heard word. I have to sign off. July 11th, 2040."

"Guys, come on." said Jack, snapping his fingers. "A radio broadcast from the future? Not possible. Kat?"

"Well, if Einstein's theory about time is correct, it's possible." said Kat.

"Hello? Keyword…theory." said Jack. "A thought not proven."

"Einstein's theory about time travel is possible." muttered Leah as she closes her text book.

"What do you mean, Leah?" Cruger asked her.

"You don't know what could happen if Gruumm actually took over earth. I actually know exactly what happens." She tells him with tears in her eyes. "I don't want any of you to get hurt or die."

"What are you saying?" asked Syd, Z and Kat.

"You know what? Forget that I've said anything. It's not like any of you are going to take me seriously enough." said Leah and teleported away. Cruger and the other rangers looked at Kat, questioningly.

"I don't know what's going on with Leah. She's been like this for the last couple of weeks. I'll go look for her." said Kat. Cruger then looks at Jack.

"Cadet, you may be right, and I hope that you are, but today is July the 11th, 2025, the day that broadcast claims S.P.D. fell." said Cruger. "Do you want to take any chances?"

On Gruumm's ship, Morgana was practicing her fighting skills against the orange head robots. "In the future, you'll be training with Krybots. I can't have you destroying my best robots, can I?" asked Gruumm as they looked down at the destroyed robot.

"I need no future training." said Morgana. "I will unleash a power upon the earthlings as they have never seen before. I called on an old friend to help. You know him as "Shorty"."

"Shorty… (Laughs) Yes, he does have an appetite for destruction." said Gruumm.

"His strength is unmatched. He's just the muscle I need to help me defeat the rangers." she tells him.

"And if he can't?" Gruumm asked.

"I have a backup plan."

"Good. Then go, and if you succeed, I will turn you back into your precious Mora." said Gruumm. Back at the base, the rangers ran into the command center as they heard the alarms.

"Broadcast has been verified and now the first alarm has been sounded." said Cruger, then looks around to see that both Brooke and Z were missing. "Where is Miss Delgado and Miss Manx?"

"After the broadcast, she kinda freaked out." said Jack. "I don't know where Leah could be. She must have teleported somewhere so no one can find her. I'll notify them."

"Let Kat find Leah. If she's anything like her mother, Kat would know exactly where to find her." said Cruger. "Go, rangers!"

On top of the base, Leah was sitting on the edge of the building. Kat was behind her, seeing how upset her daughter looked. "Leah?" she called out and Brooke turns to face her.

"I'm sorry that I got upset." Leah tells her.

"It's ok to be upset." said Kat, sitting down next her. "You know, you can tell me anything, right?"

"I know. Its just…if I tell you something, promise me that it would stay between us?" she asked.

"I promise, but as for Cruger? I would tell him sooner or later if I were you." Kat tells her daughter.

"Ok, when the radio broadcast mentioned Omega, well you see…" said Leah and tells Kat.

"WHAT!?" she screamed out.

Out in the woods, Z was dressed in civilian clothes and by herself, thinking until her morpher went off. "Hey, Jack, what's up?" she asked.

"Z, it's real. Its starting downtown." said Jack.

"I'll meet you there." said Z and goes to meet them, but before she could, Morgana finds her.

"Hello, Z. You been blasting any dollies lately?" Morgana asked.

"Do you know me?" asked Z.

"Oh, yes, you're the one who scorched Cindy Sunshine and that little one poked her with a stick, remember?" said Morgana. Just then, Leah teleported next to Z. "Hey, need my help?" asked Leah.

"I always need your help, Leah." said Z, then looks up at Morgana. "That was your doll? I thought it was…"

"Mora's? It was. Let me introduce myself, rangers. I am Morgana." she said. "Want to play?"

"Hey, I was going to study that doll for science purposes. But I do like your name for personal reasons." said Leah.

"Snap out of it, Leah." said Z. Morgana then sends an energy blast at them, causing the both girls to duck for cover. "All I said was that I liked her name for personal reasons. I wasn't planning on changing my name to it, Z." said Leah.

"Okay, we can play it like that." said Z and runs towards Morgana with Brooke on her trail. As Z kept Morgana busy, Leah went in behind and trying to hit different points of Morgana's spine.

Out on the streets, Jack and the others were already suited up and on their way to one of the sectors. "This is it!" said Jack as they got off their vehicles. A large mass of some sort had crushed a car.

"Freeze! S.P.D.!" said Jack.

"Hey, we're talking to you!" said Syd.

"Me? You must be joking!" he said to them, mocking them as he banged his hands together.

"Does it look like we're laughing?" asked Jack.

"Okay, try and stop me." said Shorty. He jumps into the air and comes back towards the rangers, making them get out of the way. "He's a tough one." said Syd.

"We're tougher." said Sky.

"Fire!"

They shot Shorty but only for the laser blasts to be redirected at them. Back with Leah and Z, they were still fighting with Morgana. When Morgana kicked them both back, Leah and Z fell to the ground in pain. "Okay…time to get serious." said Z.

"Ya think?" Leah said sarcastically as they both got up from the ground.

"Don't get sassy with me, Leah." said Z.

"Ready! S.P.D. EMERGENCY!" they shouted, as they got suited up.

"S.P.D. Yellow!"

"S.P.D. Purple!"

"Ooh, I've got a shiny outfit too." said Morgana and a helmet comes forward with the same marking that is on her face.

"I don't call that an outfit. I call that a stupid fashion statement." said Leah.

"Yeah." said Z in agreement and they all went at each other. Not long after they were fighting, Morgana kicks Z into a tree. "Z!" shouted Leah.

"Want more?" asked Morgana.

"You're coming in with us." said Z as she got out her weapon from her belt. Soon as she fires, Morgana came through the smoke unharmed. "Whoa!" said Z and Leah as Morgana hits them both.

"Heads up, little rangers." she said from a tree. Z fires at Morgana as she comes down from the tree and goes at them again. Leah does her best to help Z with the fight, but Morgana defeats them. Both girls were on the ground, powered down when Morgana walks up to them.

"Power down." said Morgana.

"You know something, Z…I liked it better when she was helpless. She's too strong." said Leah.

"Same here." said Z.

"Get up." Morgana said as she grabs both Z and Leah off the ground. She tosses Leah to the side as she pushed Z into a tree trunk. "Power rangers…that is a joke. I'm bored of playing with you now, but soon the winner will take all."

"The winner will be S.P.D. We'll always defeat Gruumm." said Leah, trying to get to Z but was pushed back. Morgana then pushed Z to the ground and Leah runs to her. Both of them looked up and saw that Morgana was gone. Z hits the ground in anger, then grabs onto Leah to teleport them back into the city.

Back in the city, Jack and the others were still fighting Shorty. Jack was knocked to the ground and Syd runs to him. "Jack!" she cried out.

"No one can stop me!" shouted Shorty.

"We can!" said Jack.

"Come on then!" said Shorty and runs through them, causing them to power down.

"Sorry, we're late. Leah and I met a new friend." said Z as she helped Bridge up while Leah helped the others.

"So did we." said Bridge. "But I don't think your gonna like him."

"Bring forth the robot of destruction!" said Shorty.

"Somehow he reminds me of Tarzan, king of the apes." said Leah in a low voice.

"You're right, he actually does." said Sky. Suddenly a robot came down from the sky and landed next to a building. "Oh, yeah!" shouted Shorty.

"Why do I have this feeling it's gonna be a long day?" asked Sky.

"Well, it's going to be a very bad day for me, so why the rush?" said Leah.

"Now it's gonna get really fun." said Shorty. In the driver's seat of the robot, was Morgana. "Always wanted to drive one of these." said Morgana then heads out through the city.

"You're really in trouble now! Ha!" mocked Shorty then bounces away.

"Sending zords." said Kat. From the side of a building, Broodwing was watching the destruction. "Morgana and Shorty are running free in the city. Looks like the end of the rangers is near." said Broodwing. Coming out from behind a building, the rangers saw that the robot was near the device.

"That doesn't look good." said Z. "We gotta do something."

The megazord then went back behind the building. "Come on, rangers! Let's do it!" she then said, making the megazord come out of hiding.

"Whoa!" the others said.

"Let's take that thing down!" said Z, ignoring her question.

"Nice try, rangers." said Morgana and blocks it from them.

"Move it!" demanded Z.

"Hey, what's up with her?" asked Jack.

"Have you lost your mind, Z?" asked Leah.

"Man, she's fired up." said Sky.

"Hyah!" shouted Z, going towards the robot but the megazord's sword was caught by the robot.

Back at the base, Kat was concerned. "Can't you do something, sir?" she asked Cruger.

"They know what they're doing. They're the best I ever had." said Cruger, then looks over at Kat.

"But will that be enough?" she asked him. He sighs before asking her, "Is everything okay with Leah? She was quite upset today."

"She's fine…just worried is all." said Kat.

"She knows something and told you about it, didn't she?" he asked. Kat looks up at him, the answer clearly written on her face. "When she's ready, she can tell me why she kept a secret for this long. That girl of yours is smarter than she looks." said Cruger, causing Kat to smile.

The megazord was getting its circuits beaten. "It's too strong!" shouted Z.

"Shorty, do it now!" said Morgana.

"You got it boss." said Shorty.

"Jack, help. We gotta get back up!" said Z.

"Hold on, Z." said Jack, then pulls up the megazord. Shorty was at the device and throws something down it. "Slam dunk!" he shouted. "In your face, earth!"

"My life is starting to flash before my eyes and its looks like it won't be pretty." said Leah. The megazord and the robot began to fight again when Shorty held an activator in his hand. "When I push this activator, the signal will be sent, and devastation will come to this planet." said Shorty, as he laughs evilly.

He then hops over to a nearby tower. "Let's see how Morgana's doing." he said, looking at the robot. "Yes! She's beating the megazord. Time to bring Devastation to earth! Three…Two…One!"

"No!" shouted Z. Suddenly Cruger was there, already suited up and knocked the activator out of his hands. "Hey! No fair!" said Shorty.

"Commander."

"I've got this one." he said into his morpher.

"Who are you?" Shorty asked.

"I am Shadow Ranger, sworn defender of the galaxy. Hyah!"

"Big deal!" said Shorty.

"Shadow Saber, power up!" echoed the commander's voice.

"Let's rock." said Shorty and the commander attacked, but somehow there was no scratch on him.

"What?" the commander asked in confusion when his sword didn't affect Shorty.

"Surprise!" said Shorty and Cruger attacks him again, only his sword bounces off of him.

"But how?" asked Cruger.

"Now give me all you got! Yeah!"

Cruger gave Shorty what he asked for but he caught the Shadow saber. Both the commander and Shorty continued to fight. The battle between the megazord and Morgana's robot was rough. The robot knocked the sword out of the megazord's hand and knocked it to the ground. All six rangers were ejected and powered down as they hit the ground of Newtech.

"Had enough?" asked Morgana as she appeared in front of the rangers.

"I've had enough of you!" said Z.

"Oh, puh-lease. You weren't even a challenge." said Morgana. "And I thought the rangers were supposed to be tough."

"Pain…so much pain. I'm gonna soak in some hot water after this. Maybe for a week." muttered Leah as she and the others got up.

"I'll join you. Hot water sounds good right about now." said Syd.

"Sounds like a plan." said Leah.

"Sister, you haven't seen tough yet." said Z. "Right, guys?"

"Right!" they said in agreement.

"Fine with me." said Morgana and her helmet appears.

"Ready!"

"Ready! S.P.D. EMERGENCY!"

Z goes to attack Morgana, but dodges the attack. "Face it…you're in way over your head, rangers." said Morgana.

"We'll see about that." said Jack as he and the others were above her. They shot her with their blasters and Z attacked her from the ground. Soon Morgana was on the ground, hurt.

"Come on!" said Shorty as he and Cruger battled it out. "You can't do that to me! I'm invincible!"

"Well, I guess we all have our bad days." said Cruger.

"It's not over!" said Shorty.

"Oh, yes it is." Cruger tells him. "Shadow Saber!"

Shorty was knocked off the tower and on the ground next to Morgana. "Get up and fight." she said to Shorty as Cruger joins the rangers.

"It's all over for you, Morgana." said Z.

"Wait, but…" Morgana stammered as she walks backwards until she hears the sound of the activator. "Aha! Yes!"

"No!" shouted Cruger and the rangers.

"Activate!" she said, pushing the handle on the activator. The device that was placed into the ground activated and shot out into space, exploding into fireworks. "No way!" said Jack.

"It was just fireworks." said Z.

"Judgement time." said Cruger, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Delgado."

"Yes." she replied.

"Shorty, Morgana, you are charged with the attempted takeover and destruction of earth." said Z. "Judgement…"

"This is ridiculous." said Morgana as the scanner went back and forth, before landing on the 'X'.

"Guilty!" said Z. "R.I.C.!"

R.I.C. then transforms into the canine cannon. "Canine Cannon!" shouted the rangers.

"Ready!"

"Fire!"

They fired at both Shorty and Morgana but the blast was blocked. "What?" asked Z in confusion.

"Not this time." said the new criminal.

"Who is that?" asked Z and Leah.

"A friend." said Morgana.

"My big brother." said Shorty.

"And what an ugly brother he is." said Leah, coughing to cover up her words.

"What?"

"Oh, come on!"

"I am Devastation, the most wanted criminal in the galaxy. A sample of my power." said Devastation, sending invisible blasts to the rangers, knocking them onto the ground. "You haven't had the chance."

"Those weren't fireworks." said Leah.

"Sock it to them, brother." encouraged Shorty, then Devastation sent another blast from his weapon.

"Nicely done." said Morgana, proud that the rangers were being defeated.

"Way to go, big brother!" cheered Shorty.

"Yes, I will make quick work of these fools." said Devastation. He ran towards them, aiming for Jack when Cruger stepped in. "No." said Cruger, before falling back to the ground from the small fight.

"I told you my brother could handle anyone." Shorty bragged.

"Yes, you did!" said Morgana. Cruger went at Devastation again while the rangers went against Morgana.

"Hey! I want a piece of the action too." Shorty complained. "Yeah!"

The boys were facing Shorty while the girls dealt with Morgana. "You waste your time fighting us. Together, the three of us are invincible." said Morgana. "Surrender."

"Not if I can help it." said Z and all three girls went for Morgana. Banging his hands against him, Shorty went straight for the boys. The fight was brutal until Cruger said, "Look out!"

All three criminals aimed their attacks at them, knocking them to the ground. "That is your lesson for today." said Devastation, as he regroups with his brother and Morgana. "Your homework…feel the emotion that rages within you. It is called…fear."

"Big brother, aren't we gonna finished this?" asked Shorty.

"No, let them marinate…in fear." said Devastation.

"Marinate?" asked Bridge.

"I don't like the sound of that." said Leah.

"Let's go." Devastation said to Shorty and Morgana.

"I never anticipated such power." said Cruger as he watches them walk off.

Back at the base, Cruger and the rangers were in the command center. Leah was off in a corner, wrangling her hands around. "I have sent an urgent message to Galaxy Command and am waiting word." said Cruger. "Until we hear, let's find out who we're dealing with."

"His name is Devastation." said Kat.

"Who would name their kid that?" asked Z.

"Good question. Not me. I would never name my kid something like that." said Leah, still wrangling her hands.

"He truly is the most wanted criminal in the galaxy." Kat added.

"Our lucky day." said Jack.

"Not really. His brother, Shorty, is the second." said Kat. "This Morgana…I can't find anything about her."

"I know her." said Cruger. "She is evil, powerful, and has the imagination of a 10 year old child."

"That's a scary mix." said Syd.

"The zords took a beating as well. It's going to take some time to get them back online." said Cruger. Just then, they had an incoming transmission from Galaxy Command and Supreme Commander Birdy popped up.

"Commander Cruger, rangers…S.P.D. Headquarters is aware of your plight." said Commander Birdy. "We regret that, at this time, it would take too long to get to you, and I fear that depleting our forces would fall into Gruumm's trap. You are on your own. Good luck."

"This is a good day." said Bridge.

"For you, maybe. For me, it's baaad." said Leah.

"Leah, tulia. Vuta pumzi." Kat told her daughter, grabbing her hands.

"Leah, usually youre teleporting around when you're this nervous. Why aren't you teleporting?" asked Jack.

"The necklace. It's suppressing my powers. As long as I'm wearing it, I can't teleport." said Leah, showing them the necklace and her head starts to twitch. "But seriously though, it's a bad day for me."

Suddenly the alarm was blaring and Shorty was on the monitor. "Conquering makes me hungry." he said. "Tasty."

"Go rangers!" ordered Cruger.

"Ready!"

"Ready! S.P.D. EMERGENCY!"

"Yummy! What an appetizing view!" said Shorty? "I'm ready for dessert. Yummy!"

"Freeze! S.P.D.!" said Z.

"What?" asked Shorty.

"We're bringing you in." said Sky.

"Not you losers again!"

"We'll show you who's a loser. Come on!" said Jack. "Ready! Weapons…fire!"

Soon as they fired, it didn't have any effect on him. The fight began and Shorty knocked Sky towards the water. "Sky!" said Bridge, then looks at Leah.

"Don't even ask, Bridge." said Leah as she went to help Z and Syd. Suddenly Sky came out of the water. "Not yet." said Sky.

Shorty was finally on the ground when Jack said, "Come on, R.I.C.!" Once again, R.I.C. transformed into the canine cannon. "Let's do it!"

"Give it your best shot. I'm not scared." said Shorty.

"Those pesky rangers again." said Devastation as he and Morgana watched from a distance.

"This should be interesting." said Morgana.

"I agree." said Devastation.

"Target locked." said Jack. Yelling, Shorty run towards the rangers and attacks. Jack fell to the ground with R.I.C. still in his hands. "Aim. Fire!" said Jack.

"No!" said Shorty and the blast pushed him into part of a construction vehicle.

"Gotcha." said Jack. He then looks at Shorty as Shorty went on a rampage. "What's going on?"

"All right!" he said and grows taller. "They won't call me "Shorty" anymore!"

"He's huge!" said Syd.

"Oh man!" said Jack. "We need the runners, Kat."

"Bad news…the zords aren't coming." said Kat.

"You're kidding! We're in big trouble here!" said Jack. Shorty starts laughing as he tries to step on the rangers. "No time for jokes, Kat." said Sky. "We need the megazord now!"

"I wish I were kidding. The repairs aren't finished yet." said Kat.

"Now what do we do?" asked Bridge.

"My mother starts planning my funeral." said Leah in a monotone voice.

"I hate antique buildings." said Shorty, punching the building.

"Watch out, guys!" said Z.

"We're not down yet!" said Jack and fires at Shorty.

"I never thought it would be so easy." said Morgana. Shorty was then able to knock the rangers to the ground, groaning in pain. "Maybe the message was right. This is the end." said Jack.

On Gruumm's ship, Gruumm was happy at what he was seeing. "We have S.P.D. right where we want them." said Gruumm.

"I'm glad you are pleased, Emperor." said Morgana.

"The battle will be over soon." said Devastation.

"Then, finally, Earth…will be…mine." said Gruumm.
