Part of Zeozord VI then landed on the head, creating the helmet, forming the Zeo Megazord.
Go, Go, Power Rangers
The Zeo Megazord then slashed something with its saber. The golden wall then returned, and then it moves backwards, leaving behind seven different shape pieces behind.
Zeo, Power Rangers!
It then shows Tommy jumping a bike up, then the six Rangers standing above Earth as their visors glowed. It then shows Zeozord III fire lasers out of its body, and then the Zeo Megazord again. It then shows Tommy and Vera doing a jump kick at something, and then Tommy standing still as his visor glowed. Lighting then went over the golden shapes, as the Power Rangers symbol came above them.
Inside the Youth Center, Kat and Tanya were watching Rocky and Adam spar against each other, while Tommy was helping Billy with his moves - even through he was a lot better than he was three years ago. Rocky sent a kick at Adam, who dodged it and then grabbed Rocky's leg and flipped him over, and he then tried to punch Rocky, but missed as he moved and tackled him, knocking him down.
"Rocky and Adam sure are good." Tanya remarked.
"I know." Kat agreed.
Tommy then blocked an attack from Billy, and then tried to trip him up, but he dodged and hit it in the chest.
"Nice one, Billy." he said. "You've improved."
"Thanks." Billy said.
Rocky then helped Adam up.
"Cleaver move." Adam admitted.
"Thanks." Rocky said.
All four of them then walked towards the girls, when Vera came in carrying a letter.
"Hi, guys." she said.
"Hi, Vera." Rocky said back, making her blush, when he saw the letter. "Who's that off?"
"Sophie." Vera replied.
Tanya looked confused, while the others raised their eyebrows.
"Who's Sophie?" Tanya asked.
"My predecessor." Vera explained, as she sat down near her and Kat.
"Huh?" Tanya asked, looking confused.
"A friend of ours." Billy translated.
"And she was one of us." Adam explained.
"She was a Ranger too!" Tanya exclaimed.
"Shh!" Kat shushed, putting her finger to her lips.
"Sorry." Tanya whispered.
"Why'd she write to you anyway, Vera?" Tommy asked.
"A promise I made before she left for New York." Vera explained.
(Flashback)
Sophie and Vera were looking at each other in the Youth Center, before walking towards the lockers together.
"It was right after Jerry Robinson offered her that photography job." Vera explained.
Vera and Sophie made it to the lockers, and saw no one around.
"Well, are you gonna take it?" Vera asked.
"I don't know, Vera." Sophie replied, looking worried. "This is what I've wanted my whole life, but I'm worried what's gonna happen to..."
"You're worried about the others, aren't you." Vera guessed, quietly. "And you don't know what will happen to the Power Rangers."
Sophie nodded, tears in her eyes.
"You do know the others are gonna want you to do this, Soph." Vera told her.
"I don't know to do, Vera!" Sophie cried. "I've never been this worried before!"
"Would you be happier if I wrote to you once a week - if they convince you to go - and I can keep you updated on what's happening?" Vera asked.
Sophie looked up at her. "You'd...you'd do that?" Sophie asked, bewildered.
Vera nodded. "If you'd want me to." she said. "It'll be like we're pen-pals or something."
Sophie hugged Vera tightly.
"And we've been on pen-pal terms ever since." Vera explained.
Sophie let go of Vera and nodded.
(End flashback)
The others looked surprised.
"I've been keeping her updated on what's been happening here ever since she left." Vera finished.
"So you told her about Mondo and the Machine Empire?" Adam deduced.
"And Aisha staying in Africa and Tanya taking her place?" Kat asked.
"And about us getting new suits and powers?" Rocky asked.
"And about the Command Center blowing up?" Tommy asked.
"And about me stepping down to assist Alpha in the Power Chamber?" Billy asked.
"Yes." Vera said, before opening the letter. "You know, she said the same thing Adam said after I told her about our first battle with the Cogs."
"About how weird it is without Billy there with us?" Adam guessed.
"Mm-mmm. She said, 'if I was still there, I would've found it weird being out there without Billy'." Vera explained.
"What was Sophie like?" Tanya asked.
"She was kind, fair, honest..." Billy explained.
"Never afraid to speak her mind..." Tommy added.
"And very heroic too." Adam added.
"So...by predecessor...does that mean, she was a Ranger before Vera?" Tanya asked.
"Yep." Rocky replied. "Apart from Billy and Tommy we all have one."
"Mine, Rocky's and Aisha's were chosen to attend this peace conference, and then we took their places." Adam explained.
"While mine left to pursue her dream the same time Sophie left." Kat explained.
"And Aisha's yours." Tommy finished.
"Wow." Tanya said, amazed. "What's she say?"
"Oh, she says 'how's everything going?'" Vera explained. "'I'm doing okay here in New York, but hearing about what's going on down there's really making me feel easier about leaving.'"
"Wow." Rocky said. "She really has a way with words."
"Yeah." Vera said, blushing slightly.
"How come you've never told us you and Sophie have been pen-pals since she left before?" Billy asked.
"Oh...well, I've been...unable to explain it before." Vera explained. "And it's the first letter I've had from her since Mondo arrived."
"Oh." Billy said, understandably.
Bulk and Skull then came in, and walked towards them, and saw the letter in Vera's hand.
"What's that you've got?" Bulk asked, curiously.
"A letter from Sophie." Vera explained, as they all looked up at him.
"The camera girl?" Bulk asked, his eyebrows raised.
"Yep." Rocky confirmed.
"You know, I used to think she was stupid." Skull admitted. "But ever since she left, I've actually sort of missed her."
"Yeah, I know. Me too." Bulk admitted. "I still find it weird when her pictures don't appear in the school newspaper."
"I know what you both mean." Billy sighed, admittingly.
"How's things going for her anyway?" Bulk asked.
"She's doing fine." Vera replied. "She hopes that everyone's well, and that everything's alright."
"Well, if it weren't for the Power Rangers, who knows what could happen." Skull admitted.
"Hey, it's not like one of em's gonna turn against the others." Adam told them.
Bulk and Skull then walked off, looking confused.
"What did he mean by that?" Skull whispered.
"How should I know." Bulk whispered back. "After all the schemes we pulled trying to find out who they were, I don't think they'll turn bad."
In Mondo's palace, Mondo, Machina, Sprocket, Klank and Orbus were in the throne room, having been listening to the conversation in their viewing globe.
"Hmm. A Power Ranger turning against the others." Mondo said. "Now, that's not a bad idea!"
"Of course, darling." Machina agreed. "It's absolutely perfect!"
"I agree, but how are we suppose to turn one against the others, my liege?" Klank asked.
"Simple, we send down a monster that can switch minds, and have it switch minds with one of the Rangers." Mondo explained, as he paced around the room.
"Brilliant idea, daddy!" Sprocket agreed, giddily.
"And I know just the monster to send, dear." Machina grinned, as a monster appeared in the viewing globe. "Mastique should be prefect for this."
"I agree, my dearest, but since she's a woman, she'll have to switch minds with one of the female Rangers." Mondo explained.
"You're right there, darling." Machina admitted.
"And I've got just the plan, sire." Klank said.
"And what's that?" Orbus asked.
"We send down a platoon of Cogs to lure the Rangers out, and then she can grab one of the Rangers and teleport away with her." Klank explained.
"Where she can then swap bodies with her without the others seeing." Sprocket finished.
"Excellent idea, you two." Mondo remarked. "Send them down to the park!"
"Right away, your highness." Klank said, bowing.
He then ran off with Orbus on his shoulder.
"Those Rangers are really in for a shock this time, getting attacked by someone in one of their body's!" Mondo laughed.
A while later, Mastique and a bunch of Cogs were at the park.
"Alright, then, get to work!" she bellowed. "The quicker we get the Rangers out here the better!"
The Cogs then marched around the park, and then the people in the park ran away scared.
(Power Chamber)
Alpha was working at the computer when the alarm went off.
"AY-Yi-Yi-Yi-Yi!" he exclaimed. "There's a monster at the park!"
"Contact the Rangers immediately, Alpha!" Zordon ordered.
Back in the Youth Center, Vera had finished reading the letter while the boys had gone back to sparring - Adam trying to tackle Rocky, but missed as he jumped, while Billy blocked a punch from Tommy - while Kat and Tanya were at the counter, when their communicators went off. They all turned to each other and then ran towards the lockers.
"This is Tommy." Tommy answered. "Go ahead, Zordon?"
"King Mondo has sent a monster and a bunch of Cogs to the park! You must get there and stop them immediately." Zordon explained.
"We're on our way." Tommy told him, before turning to Billy. "Better help Alpha out in the Power Chamber."
"I'm on it." Billy told him, before teleporting away.
"Right. It's morphin time!" Tommy shouted, as they put their hands behind their backs.
(Morph Sequence)
"Zeo Ranger I Pink!" Kat shouted.
She then lowered her arms, and was then covered in her suit.
"Zeo Ranger II Yellow!" Tanya shouted.
She then lowered her arms, and was then covered in her suit.
"Zeo Ranger III Blue!" Rocky shouted.
He then lowered his arms, and was then covering in his suit.
"Zeo Ranger IV Green!" Adam shouted.
He then lowered his arms, and was then covering in his suit.
"Zeo Ranger V Purple!" Vera shouted.
She then lowered her arms, and was then covered in her suit.
"Zeo Ranger VI Red!" Tommy shouted.
He then lowered his arms, and was then covering in his suit.
(End Morph Sequence)
They then arrived at the park, and saw the Cogs scaring people away.
"Hold it right there!" Tommy shouted.
The Cogs then turned away from the people, and then towards the Rangers.
"You're not harming anyone else, you gear heads!" Adam shouted, pointing at them.
"We'll see about that!" Mastique laughed, walking out from behind a tree.
"Who are you?!" Vera demanded.
"Mastique's the name, and you're my game, Rangers!" Mastique laughed. "Get them!"
The Cogs then charged in, and then the Rangers went in to fight.
Rocky did a sideways handspring, and then two backwards handsprings, and then blocked an attack from one's staff, and then grabbed it and threw the Cog down, then blocked a kick from a second and then hit it with his chest with his arm. He then dodged a punch from one, before hitting it in the back with his arm, then kicked another as it came at him, then ducked a tackled a third.
Tanya ducked as one tried to punch her, before punching it herself, and then grabbed it by the arm and pulled it down. She then spun around while jumping, and kicked another in the chest, and then tackled a third, before kicking a fourth in the chest while lying down, causing it to sparkle.
Adam dodged one as it came at him, and kicked it in the back, knocking it against a tree, causing it to sparkle. He then turned and saw two more jumping towards him.
"Zeo Power Punch!" he shouted, powering up his fists.
He then punched the two of them before they could hit him, knocking them down and causing them to sparkle.
Kat did two backwards handsprings to avoid one's kick, and then ducked as another tried to hit her, before she grabbed its arm and chopped it in the chest with her hand, and then threw it towards the first. She then blocked a punch from a third before kicking it in the chest, and then did a back flip to avoid a fourth as it tried to tackle her, before she jumped and kicked it right in the chest, causing it to sparkle.
Tommy grabbed one by the arm and pulled it down, then punched a second in the chest, and then turned around and fly kicked a third. He then turned to another three, who then opened their helmets up, and fired blasts out of its eyes at him, but he did three backwards handsprings to avoid them, before striating himself up.
"Zeo Flying Kick!" he shouted, as he charged at them.
He then jumped up, and kicked one of the Cogs right in the chest about three times in the chest, and then back flipped in the air as it fell over, knocking down another two as it did, causing them all to sparkle.
Vera dodged as one charged at her, then kicked it in the side, knocking it against a tree, causing it to sparkle. She dodged as another tried to hit her with its staff, which she then grabbed hold of, and then hit the Cog in the chest with her elbow, knocking it down. She then turned to her left and saw one heading towards her, but then turned to her right and saw another coming towards her from that direction. As soon as the two got close, she jumped and split kicked them both, knocking them down and causing them to sparkle.
Adam grabbed one by the arm and pulled it down, while Kat punched one in the chest and Tanya tackled another, while Mastique was watching from nearby.
"Hmm. The female Rangers are all pretty good. I'll just have to grab the first one that comes towards me." she decided.
Vera punched a Cog in the chest with both fists, and then turned to Mastique, and she then charged at her.
"Zeo Power Chop!" she shouted, arming her hands like choppers.
She then jumped and tried to hit Mastique with her right hand, but she grabbed it before it hit her.
"Huh?" Vera muttered.
Mastique then twisted Vera's arm and then pulled her down.
"Ah!" Vera groaned loudly, as she hit the grass.
Rocky spun around and kicked a Cog before her saw her.
"Guys, Vera's in trouble!" he shouted.
Adam - who was nearest - punched a Cog in the chest - causing it to sparkle as it fell over - and then saw Mastique holding Vera to the ground with her foot.
"I'll get her!" he shouted, running towards them.
"Tut, tut, tut. You Rangers are so stupid!" Mastique laughed. "Ta-ta for now!"
She clicked her fingers, and she and Vera then both disappeared, just as Adam jumped towards them, but hit the ground as they both left before he made it.
"No!" Adam yelled, hitting the ground with his fists. "Guys, she got Vera!"
"What?!" Tanya exclaimed, blocking a punch from a Cog.
"You're joking?!" Kat asked hopefully, tackled another.
Tommy then kicked one in the side and ran towards him, while Rocky hit another in the chest with his elbow and then hit it in the back with his fist - knocking it down - and then joined Tommy and Adam - who by now had gotten back up.
"Where Vera and that monster go?" Rocky wondered, rubbing his helmet.
"I don't know." Tommy replied.
Kat then kicked a Cog in the chest hard, and then Tanya fly kicked another, knocking it down as it sparkled, and then they both ran towards the boys.
"Why would Mastique take Vera for?" Kat questioned.
"That's what I want to know." Adam admitted.
Tommy then held his communicator to his mouth. "Alpha, Billy, the monster's kidnapped Vera!" he explained franticly. "Can you locate them?"
In the Power Chamber, Billy and Alpha were working on the computers trying to locate them, but they weren't having much luck.
"We're not having much luck, Tommy." Alpha replied. "Oh, AY-Yi-Yi-Yi-Yi!"
"Vera's communicator signal must be being jammed." Billy suggested. "It'll take us a while to find her."
"Alright." Tommy sighed. "We'll return to the Power Chamber while you keep trying."
"Right." Billy said, as he continued trying to find Vera.
In a quarry, Mastique still had her foot on Vera, who was struggling to move, before Mastique moved her foot of Vera.
"It's no use fighting!" she hissed, picking Vera up. "You're lucky I need you in one piece...for now!"
She then threw Vera back and then slashed her with her hand, hitting Vera so hard, she de-morphed once she hit the ground.
"Whatever you're planning, my friends will find me!" Vera shouted, getting up while clutching her chest.
"I don't think so!" Mastique hissed.
She then charged at Vera, and then grabbed her shoulders, and pressed her forehead against hers. A weird surge went through their bodies before they separated, and they held their heads down.
"What...what's going on?" Mastique asked, looking up and then at her hands. "What did you do to me?!"
Vera looked up, her eyes looking menacing. "I switched our bodies!" she growled.
Vera - now in Mastique's body looked at her. "What?!" she exclaimed.
Mastique clicked Vera's neck. "You didn't know I was so talented." she said, before touching her neck. "Did you?"
Vera yelped, as the last words had been her own voice. "That's me?!" she exclaimed.
"To the galaxy you...are now Mastique of the Machine Empire." Mastique mocked, before bringing out Vera's Zeonizer.
"No!" Vera cried.
Zeo Ranger V's Ranger suit then covered Mastique. "And I'm Zeo Ranger V!" she laughed.
"What are you planning?!" Vera demanded, pointing at her.
"I plan to destroy your friends one by one when they least expect it!" Mastique explained, laughingly.
Vera then charged at her in anger.
"You won't get away with this!" she yelled, as she tried to hit Mastique, who manged to grab her arm.
"I already have, and you won't be able to tell your friends without the voice box!" Mastique laughed, before reaching for her body's voice box.
"You can't do that...!" Vera yelled, as Mastique ripped the voice box out, cutting her off.
Vera then ran at Mastique, who then dodged and kicked her in the back, knocking her down.
"Let's see how you like it when you're friends attack you instead of me!" Mastique laughed, as she stomped on the voice box, destroying it.
She jumped on Vera and activated the tracker on her own body.
In the Power Chamber, Billy and Alpha were still trying to locate Vera and Mastique, while the others - now without their helmets - were waiting. Rocky and Adam had both put their helmets on the computer, and were both pacing around while the others stood by the computers while holding their helmets.
"Any luck yet, Billy?" Tommy asked.
"I'm afraid not, Tommy." Billy replied.
The alarm then went off.
"We've picked up something." Alpha explained.
Rocky and Adam both picked up their helmets as they all gathered around him.
"AY-Yi-Yi-Yi-Yi!" Alpha exclaimed. "Vera is battling Mastique at the quarry!"
"Then that's where we're going." Tommy told him, before they all touched their belts. "Back to action!"
Mastique jumped and corkscrew kicked Vera in the chest, knocking her down, when the rest of the Rangers came running towards her.
"Vera, are you alright?" Tommy asked, once they got to her.
"I'm fine." Mastique replied. "There was something on her body which prevented you from tracking us."
"Good thing you took it out then." Adam remarked.
Vera then got up and looked at her friends, as they didn't know about the body switch.
"Guys, no!" she shouted, but all they heard was a muffle.
"Huh?" Tanya muttered, turning to her.
"She's an imposter!" Vera shouted, but it came out muffled.
"Laser Pistols!" Tommy shouted.
The Rangers and Mastique all brought them out.
"Stop!" Vera shouted, but it was muffled.
"Fire!" Tommy shouted.
They fired their Laser Pistols at Vera, who held her arms out pleadingly.
"Guys, no! It's me, Vera!" she cried, muffled.
The lasers then hit her in the chest and knocked her down.
"I've got to get outta here and think of a way to get back to normal." Vera thought.
She clicked her fingers and disappeared.
"Not again!" Tommy barked.
"At least this time she didn't take Vera." Rocky added.
"Ture." Tommy admitted, before holding his communicator to his mouth. "Billy, can you and Alpha locate her again?"
"We'll try." Billy replied.
Vera arrived in the middle of a forest.
"I've got to make sure they don't track me, or I'm never gonna find a way to get my body back." she realized, thinking.
She quickly looked at Mastique's body, and saw the tracking device on her left shoulder, and then she turned it off.
"At least now I'll have time to think." she thought, before sitting down on the grass.
In the Power Chamber, Billy and Alpha were had located a beep on the scanner, but then it vanished.
"Huh?" Billy muttered, lowering his eyebrows. "Alpha, is it me, or did the beep just go off?"
"It's not just you, Billy." Alpha replied. "I saw it vanish too."
"Guys, I've got bad news." Billy said into the speaker. "We lost her!"
At the quarry, the Rangers were annoyed by this, but Mastique was the most annoyed.
"Right." Tommy sighed. "We'll have to wait till she shows up again."
(Power Chamber)
"Alpha and I'll keep trying to locate her." Billy explained, as Alpha worked on the computer. "You guys head back to the..."
(The Quarry)
"..Youth Center and wait until we call." Billy told them.
"Right." Tommy replied, before turning to the others. "Let's go!"
They then put both their hands on their belts and teleported away, Mastique coping them easily.
In Mondo's palace, Mondo, Machina, Sprocket, Klank and Orbus had all watched in.
"Excellent!" Mondo cheered, turning to the others. "Excellent! My plan is going perfectly."
"Indeed it is, darling." Machina grinned. "Mastique will soon gain the other Rangers trust, and then she destroy them and their precious Power Chamber one by one."
"And when they least expect it." Sprocket finished. "Oh, dad, this is your best scheme yet."
"Thank you, my son." Mondo smiled.
"It's a pity Vera manged to escape in Mastique's body before they could destroy her." Klank pointed out.
"I know what you mean." Orbus agreed. "Good thing we have spare parts to keep making and transferring Mastique's body back to her own when finished."
"Yes, indeed." Mondo grinned. "Let's just hope Vera doesn't try to switch her body back with Mastique's."
"Well, since Mastique ripped out the voice box, it'll be impossible for her to communicate with the others." Machina explained.
"Yes, indeed, meaning nothing can go wrong!" Mondo laughed.
At the Youth Center, the Rangers and Mastique all walked in - although she was looking around.
"Well, we'd better wait until Billy alerts us on where Mastique is." Tommy explained.
He and Rocky then went off to spar against each other, while Adam and the girls all sat down at a table.
"Hey, Vera, don't you have a letter to write?" Adam asked.
Mastique turned to him. "Huh?" she asked, muttering.
"Yeah, don't you have write to Sophie to keep her updated?" Tanya asked.
"I..." Mastique muttered, rubbing her head. "I must've forgot. Before you all arrived, I got hit on the head. Must've giving me some memory loss or something."
"Oh, right." Adam said, understandably. "Well, when you remember, don't forget to write."
Mastique nodded, not excepting this.
Rocky sent a fly kick at Tommy, who dodged it, and tried to punch him, but Tommy grabbed his arm and pulled him over his shoulder.
"Whoa!" Rocky exclaimed, as he hit the mat. "Ow!"
"You alright?" Tommy asked, holding his hand out.
"Yeah." Rocky replied, taking it.
Tommy then helped Rocky up, as Zeke walked into the Youth Center.
"Hi, Zeke." Rocky said, spotting him.
"Oh, hi, guys." Zeke replied, walking towards. "Where's Vera?"
"She's over there, why?" Tommy asked, pointing towards Adam and the girls.
"We're meant to do a protect together in time for next week." Zeke explained. "She was meant to meet me outside the school today, but she never showed up."
"Oh, she's been helping Tanya with her homework." Rocky explained. "She must've lost track of the time or something."
"Oh, right." Zeke said, understandably. "It's understandable. I have trouble keeping track of the time myself."
He then walked over towards Adam and the girls.
"Hey, guys." he said.
"Oh, hi, Zeke." Adam said, turning to him.
"Hi, Zeke." Kat said, waving at him.
Mastique looked up at him in confusion.
"You okay, Vera?" Zeke asked, noticing the look on her face.
"Uh, sort of." Mastique replied.
"She hit her head on a tree branch by accident." Adam told Zeke. "She's suffering from some memory loss."
"Oh, right." Zeke said, understandably. "Well, can we meet up tomorrow after school?"
"Tomorrow!" Vera yelled, getting up. "Buzz off! I'm busy tomorrow!"
She then walked off in a huff, leaving Zeke and the Rangers confused. Zeke then walked over to the counter, while Rocky and Tommy both walked towards the others as Mastique left the room.
"Guys, is it me, or has Vera been acting weird since Mastique captured her?" Adam asked, quietly.
"It's not you." Rocky told him.
"Hmm. I think I'll follow and keep an eye on her." Tommy suggested. "You guys wait here in case Billy spots Mastique."
"Alright, Tommy." Kat agreed, with Tanya nodding.
Tommy then left the room after Mastique, while Zeke turned back to the others, a drink of orange juice in his hand.
""I think Vera must've hit her head harder than you thought." he suggested.
"I agree." Tanya said. "That's not like her at all."
Kat, Rocky and Adam all nodded in agreement.
In the forest, Vera was looking down at a lake while coached, staring at Mastique's body.
"What can I do?" she asked herself, thinking."I'm a machine that'll get destroyed by my friends on sight. Meanwhile, Mastique's running around in my body like a free bird!"
She clutched her fist and hit the ground.
"But what is she trying to do?" she wondered, thinking.
(Flashback)
"I plan to destroy your friends one by one when they least expect it!" Mastique explained, laughingly.
(Flashback ends)
"That's it!" Vera realized, thinking. "She plans to attack the others when they least except it."
She then stood up.
"I've gotta get to the Power Chamber and try and warn them!" she realized, thinking.
She then clicked her fingers and then disappeared.
In the park, Tommy was following Mastique down a pathway, when she stopped behind a tree. He then hid behind the other side of the tree, as she pressed her communicator and teleported off.
"Why would Vera teleport off to the Power Chamber without being notified by Billy or Alpha?" Tommy muttered, putting his hand to his chin. "There's only one way to find out."
He checked to see if the area was clear, and then pressed his own communicator, and teleported off.
In the Power Chamber, Billy and Alpha were both still trying to locate Vera.
"I don't get it, Zordon." Billy admitted. "Why would Mastique want to avoid us locating her, when she doesn't one of the others hostage anymore?"
"You raise a good question, Billy." Zordon admitted. "I am not sure about it myself."
Mastique then arrived behind them, and then Alpha turned to her.
"Vera, what are you doing here?" he asked, confused as Billy turned to her.
"Yeah, we didn't call you." he told her.
"I know you didn't!" Mastique snarled.
She then punched Billy in the chest, and threw him over the computer.
"Vera, what are you doing?" Alpha demanded, franticly, touching Mastique's arm.
"Take a hint, you bucket of blots!" Mastique growled.
She then turned Alpha around and ripped out some of his wires.
"Vera, what has come over you?!" Zordon demanded. "You're not acting like yourself!"
Tommy then arrived near the chambers. "That's exactly what I've been wondering!" he admitted.
Mastique then sniggered, while turning to Tommy, and then Zordon. "I guess there's no fooling you two!" she snarled. "Guess the game's up!"
She brought out Vera's Zeonizer, and then morphed into Zeo Ranger V.
"Your Ranger and I have switched bodies!" she laughed, touching her helmet's forehead.
"Mastique!" Tommy exclaimed, before bringing out his Zeonizer. "It's morphin time!"
(Morph Sequence)
He then lowered his arms, and was then covering in his suit
(End Morph Sequence)
"Nobody messes with any of my friends!" he growled, clutching his fist.
Billy lifted his head up from behind the computer, rubbing his forehead.
"Really?" Mastique laughed.
She then brought out Vera's Laser Pistol, and fired at the computer, destroying some of the panels, and knocking Billy out again.
"Billy!" Tommy cried. "You're pay for this!"
He then charged at her, but she dodged out of the way, and then fired the Laser Pistol at his back, knocking him over the computer and onto Billy.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha!" she laughed evilly. "You've lost, Zordon!"
Vera then arrived in the right near the damaged computer. "End of the line, Mastique!" she growled, muffled.
She then grabbed Mastique, and then clicked her fingers, making them both disappear.
"Tommy, Billy, wake up!" Zordon shouted.
Tommy got up off Billy and took and his helmet off, and then Billy got up while rubbing the back of his head.
"I can't believe that monster switched bodies with Vera." Tommy admitted.
"I know, Tommy." Zordon told him. "This was truly unexpected. Fortunately, Vera herself arrived while you were out cold, and has teleported Mastique away from the Power Chamber."
"We've gotta find them fast." Tommy realized. "Who knows what might happen?"
Billy began putting Alpha's wires back in.
"AY-Yi-Yi-Yi-Yi!" he exclaimed, once Billy had finished. "What happened?!"
"Vera and Mastique switched bodies, Alpha." Billy explained. "It was her that trashed the computer."
Alpha walked towards it. "Well, fortunately, she didn't do much damage." he explained.
Billy walked towards the computer and began helping Alpha fix it up. "It should be back online in about a few minutes." he told Tommy.
"Right, then we can alert the others about the switch." Tommy replied.
Vera and Mastique then arrived at the docks, and then Vera pinned Mastique to the ground.
"You can't win, Purple Ranger!" she laughed. "If you destroy me, you'll be trapped in my body forever! Can you live with that?!"
"I don't care, as long as you can't harm anyone else in the universe!" Vera growled, muffled.
Nearby, the other Rangers were walking when they saw Vera picked Mastique up.
"Do you see what I see?" Rocky asked, rubbing his eyes.
"I defiantly do." Adam replied.
"It's morphin time!" Rocky shouted, as they put their hands behind their backs.
Vera then hit Mastique in the chest with a karate chop move, knocking her down, and causing her to de-morph. She then stared at her angrily, as Vera growled, when she was blasted by the others, all holding their Laser Pistols.
"Leave her alone!" Rocky shouted.
"Please!" Vera begged, muffled.
Rocky then stood near Mastique, while Adam jumped over Vera and aimed his Laser Pistol at her back, while Kat aimed hers on Vera's left, and Tanya aimed hers on Vera's right.
"Nice timing." Mastique grinned, getting up. "Let's take care of this creep."
"Right." Rocky said, before aiming his Laser Pistol at Vera.
"Rocky, stop!" she cried, muffled, as she held her hands out.
The Rangers were about to fire, when Tommy arrived and ran towards Rocky.
"Rocky, don't!" he yelled, pulling Rocky's arm down.
"You're just in time, Tommy!" Adam told him.
"Wait! We can't be sure who's who. They've changed bodies." Tommy explained.
"What?!" Rocky exclaimed, turning to Mastique.
"We've changed bodies, but we've changed back! I'm Vera!" she shouted.
"It's a lie!" Vera cried, muffled.
"Well, if they have, it does explain why Vera's been acting so weird all day." Kat admitted, shrugging her shoulders.
Tommy put his communicator to his mouth. "Billy, can you scan them so we can find out who's who?" he asked.
In the Power Chamber, Billy and Alpha had already started that, as they computer was now repaired.
"We're already working on that, Tommy." Billy explained, as Vera and Mastique were both being scanned.
"The scan is almost complete, Rangers." Alpha explained.
The scan kept on going, and then it finished.
"Vera's inside Mastique's body!" Alpha exclaimed. "AY-Yi-Yi-Yi-Yi!"
At the docks, the Rangers were shocked by the news.
"I don't believe it!" Kat cried.
"It's Vera!" Tanya exclaimed, looking at Vera.
"Imposter!" Tommy yelled, as he and Rocky grabbed Mastique by the arms.
"Vera, do it!" Rocky shouted.
"Right." Vera replied, muffled.
She then ran towards Mastique, and when she was close enough, she bashed her head against hers. A weird surge went through their bodies before they separated, and they held their heads down.
"Vera, you okay?" Rocky asked, touching her shoulder.
Vera opened her eyes and turned to him. "I am now, Rocky." she replied, smiling.
The others then gathered around her.
"Sorry for the blasts." Adam apologised.
"It's okay." Vera said. "She ripped out the voice box which prevented me from warning you all."
"Very cleaver of her." Tanya admitted.
Mastique then looked up and growled, as she couldn't speak anymore.
"Better suit up, Vera." Tommy advised, as the others got behind her.
"Right. It's morphin time!" Vera shouted, holding her hands behind her back.
(Morph Sequence)
"Zeo Ranger V Purple!" she shouted.
She then lowered her arms, and was then covering in her suit.
(End Morph Sequence)
The six of them then ran forward.
"Zeo Power Weapons!" Tommy shouted, as they brought them out.
Mastique growled as Kat jumped up and then hit her with her shield, and then Tanya hit her with her clubs. Adam then charged and hit her with her hatchets as he ran past her, and then Tommy and Rocky both jumped and hit her with their sword/axes as they did. The two of them then stood up and turned to each other, and then linked their arms together, forming a boost position, as Vera ran at them with her daggers, and then jumped on their arms, and then they boosted her into the air.
"Zeo V Power Weapon!" she shouted.
She then dived towards Mastique, and crossed her daggers over her chest from either side of her as she came down, hitting her in the chest, knocking her out.
"Nice one, Vera." Adam remarked, as they regrouped.
"Thanks, Adam." Vera said, as Tanya touched her shoulder.
In the palace, Mondo, Machina, Klank and Orbus were in complete shock, having been watching the battle in the viewing globe.
"I don't believe it!" Machina cried. "Mastique's actually down!"
"Klank, get down there and see if you can help her!" Mondo ordered.
"Right away, my liege." Klank stuttered, bowing at him.
He then ran off, with Orbus following him.
Klank and Orbus peeked out from behind a crate.
"Oh, I don't believe it! Mastqiue's actually losing." Klank said in disbelief.
"Looks like she needs a boost." Orbus suggested.
"Then let's do it." Klank said.
Orbus lowered his head, and then Klank grabbed his arm and spun him around.
"Around and around and away we go!" he bellowed, before letting Orbus go.
Orbus then landed on Mastique. "Ready for an upgrade?" he asked, raising his head and opening his mouth.
"Oh, no!" Tommy yelped. "Look?"
Orbus then began to send energy into Mastique, and then she grew giant. She then growled loudly while looking down at the Rangers. Orbus then flew back towards Klank, who then caught him.
"Let's get outta here." he suggested. "Hopefully she'll beat the Zeo Megazord."
"I hope so." Orbus admitted, as Klank ran off while holding him.
"Let's do it, guys!" Tommy shouted, clutching his fist.
"Right!" the others agreed, clutching their fists.
"We need Zeozord power now!" the Rangers shouted, holding their left fists in front of their helmets, and then stood up and held their right hands up in the air, while clutching their left fists.
The Zeozords then all showed up, and then the Rangers jumped up, and were teleported into their Zeozords.
"Zeozord VI, ready to rock!" Tommy shouted, arriving in his.
"Zeozord V, online!" Vera shouted, arriving in hers.
"Zeozord IV, primed!" Adam shouted, arriving in his.
"Zeozord II, nominal!" Tanya shouted, arriving in hers.
"Zeozord III, check!" Rocky shouted, arriving in his.
"Zeozord I, ready!" Kat shouted, arriving in hers.
"Zeonizer Crystal, power up!" Tommy shouted, bringing it out. "Initiate Zeo Megazord assembly now!"
He put his Zeonizer Crystal on the controls.
The screen then splits into five sections - Adam on the top left, Rocky on the top right, Kat on the bottom right, Tanya on the bottom left, and Vera in a box between them all.
"Zeonizer Crystal, power up!" they all shouted, putting them on their controls.
Zeozords V and VI then flew over Zeozords I and II, and took their heads with them. Zeozord III then folded its back legs forward and spread them out, and lowered them to make arm shapes. Zeozord IV then moved its back legs forward, and then they joined the front legs. Zeozord V then split itself into three parts, the beak flying off, while each side of the body retracted its wings, and flew towards the top of Zeozord III. Zeozord IV then attached itself to Zeozord III, then the two parts of Zeozord V then landed on each of Zeozord III's shoulders, and Zeozord VI then retracted its wings.
Go, Zeo
The combined Zeozords then landed on top of Zeozords I and II, which formed the legs, and then Zeozord VI flew towards the top from behind, and then attached itself to the middle of the top of the body, then retracted a head from itself. Zeozord VI's Battle Helmet then appeared on top of the head, and then the Rangers appeared in the cockpit.
"Alright, let's take care of this creep!" Tommy suggested.
"Right!" the others agreed, holding their right arms up.
Mastique growled as she charged in at the Zeo Megazord, and then jumped to try and kick it, but it grabbed her leg and began spinning her around. The Zeo Megazord then let go of her, and then she hit the ground hard, and then Tommy and Vera switched seats in the cockpit.
"Zeo V Battle Helmet, activate!" Vera shouted.
Zeozord V's Battle Helmet then appeared on the Megazord's head.
"This is for taking over my body, Mastique!" Vera shouted, before pressing the button.
Zeozord V's beak then opened up, and then a sonic scream came out of it, knocking Mastique off her feet, where she hit the ground hard. Vera and Tommy swapped seats again, and the Zeozord VI's Battle Helmet returned to the Megazord's head.
"Zeo Megazord Saber, now!" Tommy shouted, pressing the button.
The Zeo Megazord's head lit up, and then the saber appeared in its hand.
Zeo, Zeo!
Mastique got up and then charged at the Zeo Megazord, but then it slashed her with the saber, knocking her down again, making her roll on the ground.
"You're not taking over anyone's body ever again, Mastique!" Tommy shouted, as the Rangers crossed their arms over each other, and then spun their arms around, so their right was above them, while their left was clutched like a fist.
The Zeo Megazord then powered up the Saber, and then slashed Mastique with it.
Go, Go, Power Rangers
Mastique then fell backwards, and was then destroyed when she hit the ground.
Zeo, Power Rangers!
"Yeah!" Adam cheered, clutching his fists.
"We did it!" Tanya cheered, clapping her hands.
"Alright!" Rocky cheered.
"Yes!" Vera cheered.
"Great work, guys!" Tommy commented.
The Zeo Megazord then lowered its saber, and then stood at ease.
In Mondo's palace, sparks were coming out of Mondo's ears.
"I can't believe it!" he shouted, disbelievingly. "Mastique actually lost!"
"I know what you mean, darling." Machina agreed.
"I'd have never believed it if I didn't see it, my liege." Klank admitted.
"That's another great plan down the drain!" Sprocket yelled. "Those Rangers are getting stronger all the time!"
"I know!" Mondo snapped. "Now we'll have to think of another plan to stop them!"
He then walked off angrily, sparks coming out of his ears.
Later, the Rangers and Billy all returned to the Youth Center. The others had told Vera everything Mastique had done while she was in her body.
"I'm glad everything's back to normal." Rocky admitted.
"Tell me about it." Vera sighed, as they all walked towards a table.
"At least we know you being rude wasn't really your fault." Tanya admitted.
"Yeah. Glad to have you back, Vera." Billy commented.
"Thanks, guys." Vera said, blushing.
Zeke then walked in and saw them all, and then Vera walked towards him.
"Uh...Zeke, look...about what happened earlier..." she tried to explain.
"Hey, it's okay." Zeke reassured. "Everyone has their bad days."
"So, tomorrow after school we start that project you meant?" Vera asked.
"Sure." Zeke told her, before leaning in towards her ear. "I know your secret, Vera."
"What secret?" Vera questioned, worried he'd found out who she was.
"Your secret crush on Rocky." Zeke explained.
"I..." Vera blushed, knowing it was true.
"Don't worry." Zeke assured. "I won't tell anyone."
"Thanks, Zeke." Vera grinned, happily.
