A/N: The Island of Illusion is coming up next.
Sophie was in school helping her friends out, as they were rehearsing a school play. They were doing Rumpelstiltskin, with Jason as the king, Kimberly as the miller's daughter, and Bulk, which annoyed her, was Rumpelstiltskin himself. She wasn't really into acting much, so she decided to help out with the props.
"Okay, let's try it again, people." said Mr. Caplan, who was directing.
"And, places, everyone." said Billy, who was helping to direct.
Billy walked up beside Trini, who was standing with Bulk. Sophie, Zack and Tommy were sitting by the window, while Jason, Kimberly and Skull got on position.
"Fair Maiden, you must prove, as your father claims, that you can spin all this straw into gold." said Jason, getting into character. "If not...then I will lock you into the dungeon...forever." he then walked off the set.
"I cannot spin straw into gold." said Kimberly, who was sitting by a big wooden wheel. "Oh, whatever will I do?"
It was Bulk's turn to get on, but he didn't.
"Whatever will I do?" Kimberly repeated
"Bulk, that's your cue." said Trini, turning to him.
Bulk then walked up to Kimberly.
"What's the matter, sweet cheeks?" he asked. "Why you crying?"
"Where is your costume, Bulk?" asked Mr. Caplan.
"Hey..." said Bulk, sitting down. "Just adding a little touch of the 90s, Mr. Caplan.
"This isn't a modern day play, Bulk." said Sophie, which made Bulk stare at her.
Mr. Caplan looked at his watch.
"Get on with it, Bulk..." he said. "..if you don't mind."
"My, what a strange little man you are." said Kimberly, getting back into character. "Now, I must spin all of this straw into gold by morning or, I'll be locked in the dungeon forever."
"Wow. Bummer." said Bulk.
Skull laughed.
"Don't sweat it, babe." said Bulk, turning to the wheel. "I'll do it for you."
"I can't believe Bulk." said Trini.
"Yeah, he's definitely an original." said Billy.
Bulk began to spin the wheel, but Kimberly freaked.
"Bulk, be careful!" she shouted. "You're such a clod."
"She's making me mess up my lines." Bulk complained, who the started spinning the wheel, a bit too fast.
"Bulk!" Kimberly yelled. "Not so fast!"
It was so fast it caused Mr. Caplan's wig to blow off.
"Oh, no!" he said, who then started looking for it, which made Bulk laugh.
"Hey!" Kimberly yelled, as the wheel broke.
She then walked over to it.
"Oh, no!" she said. "You ruined my grandmother's spinning wheel! What is she gonna say?"
"Honestly, Bulk!" said Mr. Caplan. "Come on, kids, let's take a break before something else get's broken."
"Don't get so bent out of shape, Kimberly." said Bulk, as everyone else left, except for Sophie.
"This happens to be very important to me!" Kimberly shouted, who then left.
Skull then walked to Bulk and put a hand on his shoulder.
"You deserved that, Bulk!" Sophie shouted. "You just broke an antique! A very old one!"
She then followed her friends out. When she caught up with them, she asked Kimberly. "Are you okay, Kim?"
"No, Soph." Kimberly said, as the others walked on, to give them some privacy, as they knew to two were best friends. "He just ruined my grandmother's spinning wheel."
"It's been in your family that long, huh?" Sophie asked.
"Yeah." said Kimberly. "Why did Mr. Caplan put Bulk in the play."
"I don't know, Kim." said Sophie.
"How come you didn't try out?" asked Kimberly.
"I'm not much of an actress, Kim." said Sophie. "I've never been great speaking in front of a crowd."
"You get nervous, huh?" asked Kimberly.
"Yeah, you got it, Kim." said Sophie.
(Rita's palace)
"Oh, I've got a spinning wheel to send you, and when it hits, you pathetic Power Rangers will all be smashed flat!" Rita said.
(Youth Center)
Kimberly had gone to the Youth Center, but she was still worried about what her grandmother was gonna say about the spinning wheel. She walked over to the counter and sat down.
"What's with the long face, Kim?" Ernie asked, seeing her. "This is not like you."
"I just feel bad about my grandmother's antique spinning wheel." Kimberly said.
"Why, what happened?" Ernie asked.
"I don't know. It's stuck or something." Kimberly explained. "Oh, Ernie, not only is this gonna ruin the play but I'll never be able to face my grandmother again."
"Hey, that's a tough break." Ernie said, as Tommy walked up to them.
"What's wrong, Kim?" he asked.
"She's worried about her grandmother's spinning wheel." Ernie explained.
"It's just that it's always been very special to her." Kimberly said. "What am I going to do if it's really broken?"
"Hey, don't be so bummed out." Tommy said. "I bet you I can fix it."
"You really think you could?" Kimberly asked.
"Sure." Tommy said. "Let's go take a look at it."
"Oh, thank you, Tommy." Kimberly said, getting up. "Bye, Ernie."
They both then left the Youth Center.
(Rita's palace)
"The first thing we do is steal her spinning wheel." Rita said, walking on the balcony.
"At once, your highness." Goldar said. "Then their own wheel shall become the wheel of misfortune and destroy them!"
"Yes!" Rita said, as they all laughed.
(Angel Grove High)
Goldar and three Putties arrived in the room with the spinning wheel in it.
"There it is!" Goldar said. "Get it! Let's go!"
The Putties grabbed it and then they all teleported away.
Tommy and Kimberly were walking down a hallway, on their way to the classroom.
"Thank you so much, Tommy, for doing this." Kimberly said. "I really appreciate it."
"Hey, no problem." Tommy said.
He then opened the door and let Kimberly in first.
"Thanks." she said.
He then walked in and closed the door, but when they got inside, they saw that the spinning wheel was gone.
"Where's the spinning wheel?" Kimberly asked.
"I don't know. Maybe somebody moved it." Tommy said. "It has to be here somewhere."
They looked around but couldn't see it.
"I don't see it anywhere." Kimberly said.
(Youth Center)
They were both back at the Youth Center.
"Let's ask some of the kids if they know anything." Tommy said.
"Oh, I don't know." Kimberly said. "Tommy, we're never going to find it."
"Hey, did you see anyone move the spinning wheel from the school play...?" Tommy asked a boy.
"No, man." the boy said.
"..it's missing." Tommy finished.
Kimberly walked over to a girl.
"Have you seen the spinning wheel from the school play?" she asked the girl.
The girl shook her head.
"Have you seen the wheel from the play?" Kimberly asked another girl.
"Sorry, no." the girl said.
"How bout you, have you seen it?" Tommy asked a girl.
"Uh-uh." the girl said.
"Did you see it?" he asked a girl who just walked in.
The girl shook her head.
Tommy and Kimberly shrugged their shoulders.
On a table, Skull was drinking some soda, when he saw a bug come out of some popcorn. He began throwing the popcorn out, while Bulk laughed, as Tommy walked up to them.
"Hey, have you guys seen the spinning wheel?" he asked them. "It's not in the classroom."
"Oh, yeah." Bulk said. "I was broke, so Skull here decided to spin me some money so I could buy a soda."
They both then laughed, with Skull throwing some more popcorn.
"Hey!" Tommy said. "I'm not kidding around, Bulk. I mean it. Did you see it?"
"No, I didn't see it, you goody-good." Bulk said. "What would I want with a stupid spinning wheel, anyway?"
(Rita's palace)
Rita was grinning.
"Okay." she said. "Now I will summon the dread wheel of misfortune!"
As she said that, the spinning wheel began to change, with spikes around the wheel.
"Arise and destroy!" Rita said.
(Youth Center)
Kimberly was sitting down, looking bummed. The others, who'd just come in then sat down near her. They all put on a bummed look, which got them Kimberly's attention.
"What's the matter?" Trini asked, as they smiled.
"You looked quite distressed, Kim." said Billy.
"You guys aren't gonna believe this." said Kimberly. "Somebody walked off with my grandmother's prized antique spinning wheel."
"That's awful." said Zack.
"I know." said Kimberly.
"Who'd want an old spinning wheel, anyway?" asked Sophie.
"I don't know, Soph." said Kimberly.
(Rita's palace)
"Rita, my queen." Goldar said. "Green Ranger is on his way to Angel Grove park. I've sent the Putty Patrol to take care of him."
(The park)
Tommy was walking along a wooden bridge. He then stopped in the middle of it through, turned around, and saw four Putties show up.
"What are you clay brains doing here?" he asked, putting his bag down. "I don't have time for this."
He then split kicked two of the Putties, knocking them off the bridge. He then spun around and kicked another one off, then blocked the fourth ones attack, grabbed him and lifted him up, and then threw it of the bridge. He then jumped down off the bridge, and split kicked two of them again, knocking them down. Another one then tried to jump over him, but he hit it in the chest in mid-air. Two of them then came behind him and tried to hit him, but he ducked between their arms, grabbed them, and tried to throw them down, but they landed on their hands and side flipped. Another then came at him, but he grabbed its arm, as another showed up, and he then hit them both in the chest, and then kicked the second one. Two of them then locked hands and began to kick at him, making him move back. He then turned and looked at his bag, which he then jumped back to, only for two Putties to follow. He kicked on in the chest, knocking it off the bridge, while the other moved his bag away, who he then kicked in the back, knocking it off the bridge. He then jumped down to get his bag, but then one of them grabbed his legs, and then another two jumped over him, and then they tied him up with some rope.
"Man, why did I put my communicator in the bag?!" he moaned.
He then struggled to get free.
(Rita's palace)
Goldar was grinning.
"That's one Power Ranger down." he said. "Six more to go."
(Youth Center)
The other Rangers were still sitting down, wondering what happened to the spinning wheel. Their communicators then beeped, and they ran over to the lockers, as their was no one there.
"Warp to the Command Center." said Zordon.
(Command Center)
"It's urgent. We have a desperate situation, Power Rangers." Zordon said.
(Youth Center)
"We're on our way." said Jason.
They then teleported to the Command Center.
"The mysterious disappearance of your grandmother's spinning wheel has been solved, Kimberly." said Zordon, once they arrived. "Goldar has stolen it."
"Why?" Kimberly asked.
"So that Rita can put an evil spell on it." Zordon explained. "Now it can destroy everything it touches, Power Rangers, including you."
"Just great." Sophie said.
"I can't believe this." said Kimberly.
"Behold the viewing globe." said Zordon.
They turned to it, and saw that Tommy was tired up against a tree.
"Part of Rita's plan is to keep Tommy out of the way." said Zordon.
"AY-Yi-Yi! She's captured Green Ranger." said Alpha.
"But by outsmarting her, you can brake the spell and destroy her evil wheel." said Zordon.
"Oh, poor Tommy." said Kimberly.
"We'd better help him." said Trini.
"I'm afraid you have something more urgent to do, Power Rangers." said Zordon.
"What do you mean, Zordon?" Sophie asked.
"Goldar and Scorpina are on the rampage." said Zordon. "Frist, you must deal with them."
"Looks like it's morphin time." said Jason.
"Compsognathus!"
"Mastodon!"
"Pterodactyl!"
"Triceratops!"
"Saber-tooth Tiger!"
"Tyrannosaurus!"
Scorpina blasted them as soon as they arrived at her and Goldar's destination. They were all carrying their Blade Blasters, and then ran at them. Jason, Zack and Trini fought against Goldar, while Billy, Kimberly and Sophie fought against Scorpina, but they were quickly knocked to the ground.
"See the power I have over you." said Rita, who was on top of a cliff. "Watch now what happens, and see how high they grow."
She then threw her wand down, and turned Goldar and Scorpina giant, with Scorpina turning into her monster form.
"Attack." Scorpina said, stomping on the ground, just missing the Rangers.
"We need dinozord power." said Jason.
"Now!" they all shouted.
Their Zords then arrived.
"Let's go!" said Jason, before they jumped into them. "All right. Rangers, let's take these monsters out!"
"Get the Red Ranger!" Rita ordered. "Throw the net!"
Goldar then threw a net around Jason's Zord, trapping it and then he then blasted it.
"Jason's in trouble!" Zack shouted, seeing the whole thing.
"Time to finish you, Red Ranger, for good." Goldar said.
He and Scoroina then attacked Jason's Zord, making it fall to the ground.
"Hang on, Jason!" Trini shouted, who then fired her cannon at the pair of monsters.
Scorpina then fired at them, hitting Zack's, Sophie's Billy's and Trini's Zords.
"Power Rangers, get away from here!" Jason ordered. "You've got to save yourselves before it's too late!"
Goldar then kicked Jason's Zord, causing it to roll over.
"No way, Jason!" Sophie yelled. "We're not leaving you!"
She tried to get her Zord back up, but the controls weren't responding.
(Command Center)
Alpha and Zordon were watching the whole battle in the viewing globe.
"AY-Yi-Yi! The Power Rangers need help, Zordon." Alpha said. "Tommy's just got to get free."
"Have patience, Alpha 5." Zordon said. "Tommy knows what he has to do."
(The park)
Three Putties were looking at Tommy's bag, while Tommy tried to get free of the ropes. He began moving them left and right on the tree, and then soon the rope snapped.
"Hey, Putties." he said, getting the Putties attention. "Help me. I'm starting to feel sick. Really sick."
He then pretended to pass out. The Putties then went over to him, as the last of the rope snapped. Tommy then put his head back up, and knocked one of them over. He then kicked another in the chest and then the back, knocking it onto the other one. He then blocked a punch from the third one and then tackled it.
"You clay brains are unbelievable." Tommy said.
The Putties then vanished, and Tommy ran over to his bag, took his communicator out and pressed it.
"Zordon, what's goin on?" he asked.
(Command Center)
A battle rages on the other side of the park but more power is needed." Zordon explained. "I have told Jason to bring all the Zords together to form Ultrazord."
(The park)
"If this fails, the world is doomed." Zordon said.
"I'm on my way." Tommy said.
"Dragonzord!"
He then arrived at the others location and played his flute, summoning the Dragonzord showed up. The Dragonzord then blasted Goldar and Scorpina with it's missiles, knocking them down, and then pulled the net of Jason's Zord.
"Jason, let's get them!" said Tommy.
Just before they could though, the spinnging wheel came into view. It was hovering above the ground, shooting some sort of fireworks at their Zords, flying back and forth between them.
"Aw, man." said Jason. "Rangers, power up your crystal!"
"Two, one, power up." they all said.
"Let's show them some Megazord power!" Jason shouted.
Their Zords then combined into Megazord tank mode.
"Let's switch to Megazord battle mode!" Jason ordered.
"Right." the others said together.
"Megazord sequence has been initiated." said the computer voice. The Megazord then went to battle mode and when it was complete, the computer voice said. "Megazord activated."
"All right!" Jason said. "We're gonna need the Power Sword!"
With that said, the Power Sword fell from the sky, and landed in the Megazord's hand. The wheel then came at them, and just missed the Power Sword. It then flied back and hit the Megazord, and then started to circle it. Goldar and Scorpina were fighting the Dragonzord, and they seemed to be getting the better of it.
"Perfect." Rita said. "It's working. Chop them down!"
"What?!" the Rangers said together.
"Attack!" Rita ordered.
The wheel then started to hover above them.
"Yeah!" Rita said.
"Look out!" Tommy shouted.
Goldar and Scorpina then came in front of the Megazords.
"We're not finished yet!" said Jason. ""I call on Titanus and the power of the Ultrazord!"
The Titanus Zord then showed up to help.
"Ultrazord, power up!" The Rangers shouted together.
And then, soon enough, all of the Zords combined into the Ultazord, including the Dragonzord.
"Look out!" Jason shouted, as the wheel came back at them. "Lock on and fire all weapons!"
They then did just that, and destroyed the wheel.
"Aw, nuts!" Rita shouted, who then disappeared.
"Fools, you've destroyed our wheel!" Scorpina growled, before she and Goldar disappeared as well.
(Rita's palace)
"Those Power Geeks think they've beaten me but I'll be back and they'll be sorry." Goldar said.
(Angel Grove High)
The Rangers were all walking down the hallway in the school, trying to see if the spinning wheel was back.
"Aww, that was so cool." said Zack, as they walked along the corridor. "We really socked it to Rita that time."
Inside the classroom, the spinning wheel had return, completely back to normal.
"I hope she'll learn not to mess with us one day." said Sophie.
"I don't think she will, Soph." said Trini. "We all know what she's like."
"Tell you what, man." said Jason, who was by the door to the room the spinning wheel was taken from. "Her evil wheel of misfortune is gone forever."
"Yeah." said Zack, as Jason opened the door.
"Yeah, we destroyed it alright." said Kimberly, who was looking a bit sad. "But, you guys, what about my grandmother's spinning wheel? What am I gonna tell her."
"Does that answer your question, Kim." said Sophie, as they were all standing by the spinning wheel.
"No way." said Kimberly, as she walked towards it. "It's back." she then started to see if it worked. "And it works."
"But how did it get here?" Trini asked, laughing.
"This is most mysterious." said Billy.
They communicators then beeped.
"It is no mystery, Power Rangers." said Zordon.
(Command Center)
"When you defeated Rtia's henchman her magic spell was broken." Zordon said.
(Angel Grove High)
"So what's that mean, Zordon?" Sophie asked.
"Therefore, Kimberly, your spinning wheel was returned to it's original location." said Zordon.
"Yay." said Trini.
"All right." said Tommy.
That night, they were all set for the play. Bulk and Skull were watching TV however, instead of waiting with the others, dressed in their costumes. They were both laughing at what they saw, until it was interrupted.
"This just in." said the announcer.
"Man!" Bulk complained.
"We've just gotten word that once again the amazing Power Rangers have saved our fair city and the world from one of Rita Repulsa's lethal monsters." said the newsman.
"Just when it was getting good." Bulk said.
"Yeah. That was my favorite part." Skull said.
Mr. Caplan then came up behind them.
"What are you guys doing?" he asked, pulling Bulk out of his seat. "The curtain is up. Come on."
He picked Skull up, and then dragged them both them the stage, where the others were waiting. Kimberly and Jason were dressed in their costumes, while the others had their normal clothes on.
"Break a leg, Kim." said Zack.
"Don't you dare." said Tommy, who winked at her.
"Good luck, Kim." said Sophie, giving a thumps up.
Billy then signaled for the light to go on, and then the play started.
"And you'd better spin all of this straw into gold...or else." said Jason, who was in character.
He threw some fake straw near Kimberly and walked off stage.
"Yeah." said Skull, who was playing the king's guard. "Or...else." he then walked of stage.
"Now there are three piles of straw to spin into gold." said Kimberly, in character. "Oh, woe is me." she put her hand on her forehead. "Where's Rumpelstiltskin?"
But Bulk never showed up.
"Where's Bulk." Sophie whispered.
"I have no idea." Trini whispered back.
"Oh, where's Rumpelstiltskin?" Kimberly said, as the could hear the crowd laughing. "Rumpelstiltskin, did ya hear me?" she shouted.
Bulk then finally showed up.
"Where were you." Sophie said, annoyed.
"Hurry up. Get out there." Trini said, urging Bulk to hurry up.
"I'm going, I'm going." Bulk said. "Take a chill pill, will ya?"
He tripped over on his way over to Kimberly, causing the crowd to get a glimpse of Billy and Trini.
"Never fear, fair babe." Bulk said, once he was on stage. "I said I'd be here and here I am."
"Took you long enough." said Kimberly.
Bulk looked back at Ernie, who was making a kissing noise.
"Give us a smooch, fair babe." he said, looking back at Kimberly.
"Yes, of course." said Kimberly, which made Bulk come closer. "But first you have to spin all the straw into gold."
"Get ready to pucker up, fair dame." said Bulk.
He then bent down to pick up the straw, but then his pants spilt open, reveling his underpants to the audience, causing Kimberly to cover her mouth.
"That's it, Bulk." said Skull, as everyone laughed. "Way to bear your soul to the audience."
Bulk walked off stage, looking embarrassed, but he then grabbed Skull, picked him up.
"Come on, Joker. Let's get out of here." he said, to his partner in crime, and they both left.
"The End." Kimberly said to the audience, who then walked off towards her friends.
"Definitely, the weirdest Rumpelstiltskin play in history." said Sophie.
"You said it, Soph." said Kimberly, and then they all laughed.
