A/N: This is another of my favourite Space episodes.


Previously on Power Rangers in Space...

TJ and Ashley run the SimuDeck Craterite simulation, when the Megaship shakes.

"Something's wrong!" Ashley gasped.

TJ then tries to punch one, when Ashley kicks another, but then the simulation vanished.

"The simulation stopped!" TJ gasped.

Craterites then showed up all over the room.

On the bridge, the other Rangers look at the viewing screen.

"What's happening?" Andros asked.

The Craterites push past TJ and Ashley as they try to stop them.

"The Craterites, they're escaping!" Carlos exclaimed.

All six Rangers run to the cargo bay, as the Craterites jump out of an airlock.

The Craterites then parachuted down towards the ground.

Patrick looks through a window, and sees Craterites dressed up in clothes.

"I see Craterites everywhere!" Alpha exclaimed.

A hoard of Craterites look up at one with a black head.

Lighting hits the Craterites, merging them together as they grow giant.

"We need to blast their leader, guys." Ashley realized.

The Astro Megazord fires its blaster, which then hit the Craterite leader, sending sparks all through the giant as it moans, and then it blew up.

The Astro Megazord then stands at ease.


In a forest outside Angel Grove, a bee monster called Waspicable was walking amongst some flowers, and then crouched down near some blue ones.

"Ah. Look, they're so beautiful." he awed, picking them up. "So delicate."

He smell them as he held some more in his hand, including some roses.

"Ah." he sighed happily.

He hummed as he began dancing around the field.

"De-de-dee! Flowers are the thing for me." he sang. "Why wasn't I born a honeybee."

He then saw some yellow flowers beneath him.

"Oh! Yellow ones! I love yellow best of all." he said, crouching down and picking them up.

Nearby, another bee monster called Sting King, which had a stinger for a right hand, and a bunch of Quantrons were looking around. One then patted his shoulder, and then pointed at Waspicable, which made Sting King sick.

"Hum-de-do, hum-de-do." Waspicable hummed, picking up more flowers.

"That's him, alright!" Sting King said. "But what in the hive does he think he's doing?"

Waspicable sniffed the flowers he had hold off, while Sting King and the Quantrons all approached him, and then Sting King knocked the flowers away.

"Oh!" he moaned.

"You're are evil, Waspicable!" Sting King snapped. "You don't pick flowers!"

"But I was just..." Waspicable stuttered, turning from the flowers to Sting King.

"Oh, quit your blubbering!" Sting King snarled. "You need a roar, and six Rangers!"

He fired a laser blast out of his stinger at a tree, which scared Waspicable.

"Now, stand up and show me what you got?!" Sting King demanded, crouching down and touching Waspicable's chest.

"Nooo!" Waspicable cried, as Sting King got up. "No, no, no, no!"

Two Quantrons then lifted him up.

"I can't be like you, Sting King!" he cried. "I can't blow things up! It's so loud, and messy, and-and it makes people mad!"

Sting King put his stinger in Waspicable's back.

"Just do it!" he growled loudly, poking his stinger in Waspicable's back.

"Oww!" he yelped, getting up. "Alright, I'll do it!"

He fired lasers out of his eyes, which hit a rock, smashing it to pieces.

"Now you see, that wasn't so hard, was it?!" Sting King sneered. "Now just do that to the Power Rangers, and put your name in the history books!"

"Really? In the history books?" Waspicable questioned, as he walked away.

"Uh-huh." Sting King replied.

"Why not? Why couldn't I?" Waspicable wondered, turning back to Sting King and laughed. "Yeah. I'm as evil as they come."

They both shook hands as Sting King nodded.

Ah...in Space!


In another part of the forest, the Professor was looking through a pair of binoculars, while Bulk and Skull were unloading his van.

"Aha. Eureka." the Professor said, spotting a beehive on a tree branch. "An alien pod, for sure."

Skull walked towards him while carrying a helmet, as Bulk came around with a ladder. Skull took the binoculars from the Professor, as he walked towards Bulk while laughed.

"Hanging right there in a tree?" Bulk questioned, putting the ladder down, as the Professor took off his headgear. "Wow. You're a genius, Professor."

The Professor picked up a helmet and put it on, while walking back towards Skull, and then Bulk did the same, as Skull lowered the binoculars.

"I think..." he said, putting them back over his eyes.

He looked at the beehive closely, and then lowered the binoculars again.

"Hey, that's a beehive!" he swore.

The Professor and Bulk turned to him.

"Beehive?" the Professor scoffed, as they walked towards him, and then he patted his shoulder. "Perhaps to the untrained eye."

He laughed.

A few minutes later, Bulk and Skull put the ladder under the beehive, and then the Professor climbed up it. Once close to the beehive, he reached up, grabbed it and then pulled it down.

"Gotcha." he said.

Bulk then helped him slowly down the ladder.

"Oh." the Professor said, before laughing.

Once down the ladder, the three of them stared at the beehive.

"Come out, come out, you evil space aliens!" the Professor dared. "Shh!"

Bulk and Skull kept quiet, but then both shushed themselves.

The Professor rested his ear against the beehive, as he heard a cracking noise.

"It lives!" he declared. "It lives!"

"An alien?" Bulk inquired.

They then heard a buzzing noise from the hive, which confused them.

"Bees!" the Professor exclaimed, throwing the hive away.

Once it hit the ground, bees started coming out of the hive.

"And here they come." the Professor gasped. "Run!"

He and Skull turned around and ran away, while Bulk waved his hands over his face and twirled around.

"Ahh!" he yelped.

He then turned and followed the others, and then all three of them hid behind a tree. The Professor then laughed as Bulk and Skull turned to him.

"We outran them!" he laughed.

"You said they were aliens!" Skull scowled. "You annoy us, so they came up to you-"

Waspicable then showed up.

"Hello, boys." he sneered, sounding tough.

The trio looked up at him and gasped, and then screamed as they stood up.

"Come on!" Bulk yelled, as they ran away.

Waspicable laughed, then fired lasers at the trio as they ran away, hitting the ground behind them.

"Hoo-hoo! Wait for me!" he called, chasing after them.


Meanwhile, as the Megaship hovered above the Earth, Mel, Cassie and Alpha were checking the systems on the bridge.

"Okay, fuel system?" Cassie asked, walking across the room with a tablet.

"Fuel flow, normal." DECA reported.

"Engine system?" Mel asked, standing near the hand controls with Alpha, who pressed buttons on it.

"Engines online and stable." DECA answered.

An alarm then buzzed, getting both Rangers attention.

"What is it, Alpha?" Mel asked.

"There's a disturbance in the forest." Alpha explained.

Cassie walked towards him and Mel.

"You're right." she said. "Okay."

She pressed buttons on the controls, and then all three of them looked up to see Bulk, Skull and the Professor running away in the forest on the viewing screen.

"Let's take a look." she said.

"Oh, not them again." Mel sighed, annoyed.

"We better check this out, just in case." Cassie said.

"Good idea." Mel agreed. "Better safe than sorry."

"Good idea, you two." Alpha remarked, as both girls ran off.

They then shot down towards the Earth on their Galaxy Gilders - now both morphed.

Once near the forest, they both jumped off their gilders and landed on the ground.

"Okay, let's see." Cassie said, as they began looking around.

Mel turned as she heard a noise, and then spotted the trio.

"There they are!" she said, pointing to her right.

Cassie turned to where she was pointing and looked at the trio.

"Let's go." she said.

They both ran towards the trio, as they screamed and ran towards the van.

Once at the van, the Professor tried to open the door, while Bulk and Skull turned to Waspicable.

"Hurry, Professor!" Bulk urged. "Hurry! Hurry!"

The Professor fumbled with the keys, as Waspicable fired lasers at them, which hit the ground near them, making them gasp.

"They want evil? I'll show I'm evil, with a capital E!" Waspicable spat.

"Evacuate!" Bulk screamed, as Skull and the Professor screamed.

All three then ran around the van, as Waspicable chased after them. Once at the van, he looked around for the three of them.

"Hey, where did they go?" he wondered.

He bent down and looked under the van and saw their legs.

"Oh, hiding from me, are you?" he questioned, seeing the trio's feet move up and down. "I think a little sneak attack is in order."

He got up and then tip-toed around the van, then jumped out.

"Aha!" he yelled, but only saw the men's pants, which were standing up for some reason. "What's this? Looks like I scared the pants off them."

He approached Skull's pants and looked down them.

"But where'd the bodies go?"

He turned left, and saw the trio turn to him, as they tried to sneak away without their pants on, and then the trio screamed.

"Well, don't stop now. Go ahead and run some more!" Waspicable spat. "This is great fun!"

Mel and Cassie then jumped up and kicked him away.

"Ohh!" he moaned, as he fell down.

Both girls landed on the ground crouched down, then got up as the trio stared at them.

"Okay, we'll take it from here, you guys, just..." Cassie said, as the girls got up and turned to the trio.

"What in the world?!" Mel exclaimed, covering hers and Cassie's visor with her hands. "Sorry, we're not looking!"

"Wait!" the Professor pleaded. "Wait, that's my alien!"

"Just go!" Mel ordered.

"Sorry." Cassie said, waving them off.

"Professor, come on." Bulk said, picking him up, as Skull ran away.

"No, no, no, no!" the Professor exclaimed.

"Come on!" Bulk shouted, as he ran after Skull. "We've gotta go!"

Cassie and Mel then turned to Waspicable.

"Alright, you, come on?!" Cassie dared, as they got ready to fight.

Waspicable got up and stared at the Rangers.

"Wow. The Pink and Orange Rangers." he said amazed. "This is cool! I mean, just who I've been looking for!"

"You've got a lesson to learn about manners!" Cassie retorted, pointing at him.

"I'll be teaching the lesson here, 'cause I'm evil!" Waspicable snapped.

"Oh, yeah! We'll see about that!" Mel retorted, folding her arms.

Waspicable then charged at them both, knocking Mel aside as she was caught off guard, and then grabbed Cassie by the arm and flung her over his shoulder, causing her to flip over a tree branch, before landing on her back.

Mel then sent a kick at him, but missed as he dodged, then she sent a punch at him, but he dodged that as well, and then he tripped her up, causing her to flip onto her back.

Cassie turned and got up as he turned and charged at her, then she blocked a kick from him with her hands, then she ducked as he tried to punch her, and then she twirled around to face him. She then blocked a punch from him with her forearm, then kicked him in the side, but then he punched her in the belly. They both then sent a punch at each other, getting their arms locked, then he hit her in the back, but then she sideways handspringed, and then did a backwards one.

Mel then got up and grappled him by the chest, wrapping her arms around it, but then he hit her in the back, forcing her to let go, and then he grabbed her and threw her over to Cassie, landing on her belly.

"You okay?" Cassie asked, helping her up.

"I've been better!" Mel grunted, as they turned to Waspicable.

"Now to blast you both!" he spat.

"I don't think so!" Cassie retorted, putting her hands together like a camera shape.

She spun around and brought out her Satellite Stunner, just as Waspicable fired at both her and Mel, but missed as they both jumped out of the way - Cassie to her left, Mel to her right. Cassie then flipped and twirled sideways as he fired at her again, before she fired her stunner at him, hitting him in the chest, but he didn't go down.

"Hey, what's the big idea?!" he complained, as Mel ran towards Cassie.

"Are you kidding?" Cassie questioned, pointing at him.

"Yeah, you're a monster." Mel said. "What'd you expect her to do?!"

Cassie fired her stunner again, but Waspicable ducked, causing her to miss.

"That does it!" he snapped, getting up.

"I think you've made him mad." Mel gulped.

Waspicable then charged at the pair of them, and then jumped up and gilded towards them.

"Uh-oh." Cassie gulped, as Mel dived out of the way to her left.

Waspicable then grabbed Cassie by the arm, knocked her stunner out of her hand, and then punched her in the chest twice.

"Ohhh!" she moaned.

Mel turned to them, as Waspicable rammed Cassie with his forehead, knocking her down onto her chest.

"Cassie!" Mel cried.

She got up and charged at Waspicable, kicking him in the side, knocking him back slightly, and then he turned to her. He then sent a punch at her, but missed as she dodged and got behind him, but then he turned and kicked her in the back, knocking her down right next to Cassie.

"Ahh!" she groaned, hitting the ground.

Cassie touched her arm, as they both moaned and turned to Waspicable, who held Cassie's Satellite Stunner.

"I've got your blaster, Pink Ranger!" he spat, making both girls gasp. "Say goodbye, Power Rangers!"

The Rangers prepared for the worst.

"I..." Waspicable stuttered, as he struggled to fire. "I... I can't do it!"

He looked down as the two Rangers looked shocked.

"You're not gonna fire?" Cassie questioned.

"But...why?" Mel inquired, shocked.

"You're a monster...with a heart." Cassie realized.

"Who, me?" Waspicable asked, pointing at himself, turning to them. "A heart?"

"Looks like it." Mel said.

"Monsters don't have hearts!" Waspicable spat. "I'll prove it!"

He aimed the stunner at Cassie and Mel as they both got up.

"No, don't!" Cassie pleaded.

"Don't do it!" Mel begged.

Waspicable struggled to fire, and then his body shook.

"Ohh! It's no use, I'm a failure!" he whined, lowering the stunner.

"Don't be so hard on yourself, Waspicable." Cassie said. "It's good that you didn't fire."

They all turned and saw TJ and Andros jump up, and then they both kicked Waspicable in the chest, knocking him down. They both landed on their knees near some flowers, as Carlos and Ashley both showed up, and then all four of them stared at Waspicable.

"Blasters ready!" Andros shouted, as they all brought out their Astro Blasters. "Aim!"

They all aimed at Waspicable, when Cassie and Mel both ran in front of them.

"Wait, don't shoot!" Cassie begged, as they both held their arms out.

"Don't do it!" Mel pleaded. "It's okay."

"Are you guys sure?" Andros inquired.

"Yes, yes!" Mel assured.

"He had a chance to destroy us, but he didn't." Cassie explained, as they both turned to Waspicable, who got up.

"You're suppose to be the enemy." he said. "But you stopped them from blasting me."

Cassie and Mel approached him slowly, but then he cried and turned around, and then he shrunk himself.

"No, don't go!" Cassie begged, as he flew away.

"Come back!" Mel begged.

The others put their Astro Blasters away, and then Ashley approached Mel and Cassie.

"Mel, Cassie, are you guys okay?" she asked.

"Yeah, we're fine." Cassie replied. "But..."

"But what?" Carlos inquired.

"Well, it's just..." Mel began.

"That monster..." Cassie added, before picking up her Satellite Stunner. "..we think we hurt his feelings."

"Monsters don't have feelings." Carlos argued.

"Well, this one does!" Mel argued, turning to him. "And he also has a heart!"

She turned away from him, but then they all looked up at the sky.


Later, Waspicable was hiding behind a bush, staring at a bunch of people, sitting at a small outdoor café.

"I know..." a woman said.

A man and woman walked away with their arms linked, as a African woman sat at a table. A man behind a ice cream stand gave another wearing an orange shirt a ice cream, as the people chuckled and giggled.

Waspicable then turned around.

"I do not have a heart!" he said determined. "I'm a monster, an evil monster!"

He turned back to the crowd, and saw the man in orange pick something off the ground, as a woman walked towards another two at a table while carrying a tray.

"I'm going to go right up to him, and then..." Waspicable swore.

(His imagination)

He jumped up and then landed behind the man - now sitting at a table. The rest of the people then ran off scared, as he approached the man, who then turned to him and screamed, falling over onto the table, and then onto the other side. He then raised his arms up in triumph.

(Imagination ends)

"Just like that." he said. "Yeah."

He jumped up towards the man, then growled as he landed behind him, scaring off everyone else.

"Ahhh!" a girl screamed.

Waspicable touched the man's shoulder, but when the man turned to him, he saw that the man was much older than he thought.

"Agh!" the man gasped, dropping his things.

"Oh, dear." Waspicable moaned regretfully. "Oh, sorry, sir. I thought you were..."

The man got up as Waspicable bent down.

"Let me clean this up for you?" Waspicable asked. "Oh, dear."

The man turned around and ran away as fast as he could.

"Oh! I almost attacked an old man." Waspicable cried.

He cried as he fell to his knees, feeling guilty.

"I can't do anything right!" he cried. "I need to be evil, but how?!"


Later, he hid behind a another bush in the park, and saw a bunch of kids at a birthday party, with Mel and Cassie helping sort things out. Cassie stood by the birthday girl and her mom, the girl holding up a bunch of balloons, while Mel was helping sort out the food, while the others kids all chattered and played with each other.

"Maybe something this color, Sherri." Cassie smirked, touching a long blue balloon.

"Blue?" Sherri said.

"Blue's pretty, honey." Cassie said.

Mel poured some juice into some cups as a boy walked towards Cassie, Sherri and her mom.

Waspicable then stared at them all from behind the bush.

"Oh, it's a birthday party." he awed. "I love parties."

He turned around.

"Maybe I do have a heart." he said, thinking about what Mel and Cassie had told him as he crouched down.. "Maybe I'm not cut out to be a monster!"

"A heart?!" a voice sneered.

Waspicable looked up and saw Ecliptor and some Quantrons approaching him.

"You don't have a heart, you're a monster!" Ecliptor sneered. "Now why haven't you attacked the Power Rangers?!"

"Oh...well, I've been studying the Pink and Orange Rangers, planning an attack." Waspicable replied nervously.

"Planning an attack?!" Ecliptor questioned, disbelieving. "Here's a plan!"

He elbowed Waspicable in the belly.

"Oww!" he cried, falling to his knees while clutching his belly. "Oh, why did you have to go and do that?!"

"Attack now!" Ecliptor ordered.

"Well, okay." Waspicable mumbled, before he turned around and walked away. "Here goes nothing."

"Prepare to fight, Quantrons!" Ecliptor ordered, turning to the Quantrons, who saluted by hitting their right hands against their chests.

Waspicable then fired lasers at the party, hitting the ground near the benches.

"Aghh!" a girl screamed.

Cassie and Mel both moaned as they fell onto their chests. As the guests screamed, they both looked up, and saw Waspicable.

"There! Take that!" he spat.

The Quantrons then charged at the party, making the two Rangers gasp as they got up.

"Everybody, get out!" Cassie ordered, as they turned to the party. "Go!"

"Get outta here, go!" Mel shouted.

They both turned to the Quantrons as the guests fleed. One then grabbed Cassie and pulled her away, while another grabbed Mel's shoulder, pulled her back, and then punched her in the chest, knocking her to her knees.

Waspicable watched as the Quantrons began to wreck the party, as Sherri and her mom - who held her tight - screamed. The other guests all ran away scared, as Waspicable turned away.

"Come on, Waspy, you should be enjoying this!" he said.

Sherri screamed loudly as a Quantron stole her balloons, and then ran onto a table.

"My balloons!" Sherri cried, tears in her eyes. "My balloons!"

Mel lifted herself up as the Quantron let the balloons go.

"Oh, come on, you didn't have to do that to her balloons!" Waspicable complained.

Ecliptor approached him.

"Good job, Waspicable." he commented, patting Waspicable's shoulder. "Nice you're finally getting into the sting of things."

Waspicable looked down as Ecliptor laughed.

"What have I done?" Waspicable cried, more guilty than before. "This is terrible."

He looked up at the balloons and then sighed.

Sherri and her mom screamed as some Quantrons tried to grab them, but then Cassie and Mel came over. They grabbed a Quantron's arm each, and then pushed them back, then Cassie punched hers in the chest, while Mel kicked hers in the belly. Cassie then blocked another's punch, and then elbowed it in the chest, and then Mel side kicked away.

"It's okay." Cassie assured. "Go find a safe place."

"We'll be alright." Mel assured. "Go!"

"Okay, let's go, honey." Sherri's mom said, as she and Sherri ran away.

Two Quantrons then grabbed Cassie from behind, and then another two grabbed Mel from behind, while they both stared at Sherri and her mom.

"Hurry!" her mom cried.

Cassie then lifted her arms up, breaking free from the Quantrons grips, and then she elbowed the one on her left in the chest. She then roundhouse kicked another as it came at her. She then turned to the other that had hold of her, then grabbed its arm, flipping it onto its back onto the table, and then punched it in the chest.

Mel then stood on the foot on the one holding her left arm, then she elbowed it in the chest, and then she punched the other one in the chest, knocking them both back as she turned to them. She then spun around and kicked the one on her left in the chest, then ducked as the other tried to punch her, and then she spun around and tackled it, tripping it up.

"I can't stand to watch!" Waspicable cried, looking down.

Cassie blocked a Quantron's punch, then blocked another's kick, then ducked as the first tried to punch her, before she grabbed its arm, and then hit it in the back, pushing its face onto the birthday cake.

Mel ducked as one tried to kick her, then she blocked another's kick with her hands, then she kicked the second in the chest, knocking it into a long chair that had been set up.

"So outnumbered!" Waspicable cried.

Cassie blocked a Quantron's knee with her hands, then rolled along a table, and then tripped it up as it jumped onto the table. She turned and then got off the table as another tried to stomp on her hands.

Mel ducked as one tried to punch her, then she grabbed its arm as it swung back, and then elbowed it in the chest. She then dodged another's kick, then kicked it in the belly, when another two came up behind her and grabbed her by the arms.

Cassie turned as one grabbed her by the shoulders, then lifted her up and threw her towards another, who then pushed her towards a table. She then blocked a third's kick with her hands, but then it grabbed her arm, and then another grabbed her arm, and they both held her.

The two holding Mel dragged her towards Cassie, and then they both stared at Waspicable and Ecliptor.

"I'll let you have the honors, Waspicable." Ecliptor said. "Destroy them!"

Waspicable mumbled as Cassie and Mel tried to break free.

"Oh...I have a..." he mumbled.

"Well?" Ecliptor questioned.

Waspicable turned to him.

"What are you waiting for? Blast the Rangers in oblivion!" Ecliptor ordered, pointing his sword at Mel and Cassie.

"I'm not sure, Ecliptor." Waspicable stuttered.

"Do it!" Ecliptor hissed.

"Alright. Here I go." Waspicable said determined. "No more Pink and Orange Ranger!"

Cassie and Mel both gasped in shock, as they stared at him.

"I really thought he was different." Mel cried.

"So did I." Cassie said.

Waspicable held his hands over his face, but didn't move.

He aimed Cassie's Satellite Stunner at her and Mel, as they laid down and stared at him.

"You're a monster...with a heart." Cassie realized.

Waspicable groaned as he lowered his arms.

Ecliptor then laughed as his eyes glowed while he growled, and then fired lasers at the Rangers, who closed their eyes and prepared for the worst. The lasers however, hit one of the Quantrons that was holding them each, knocking them down.

"Huh?" Cassie gasped.

"Wha?!" Mel exclaimed, as they turned to the Quantrons lying down, before turning back to Waspicable.

"Oops." he said innocently. "I missed."

Ecliptor then pushed him down into a long chair.

"Noooo!" Cassie cried.

"Waspicable!" Mel cried, as they reached out.

Ecliptor turned to them both.

"I'll destroy you both myself." he said.

Waspicable mumbled as the Quantrons pulled Mel and Cassie back, as Ecliptor approached them. Once he was close, he raised his sword up to strike them.

"Stop!" a voice called, stopping him.

He turned right, and saw Sting King and Astronema - now with burnette hair - standing nearby.

"Stand back, Ecliptor." Sting King said, patting his stinger. "These two are mine."

"Very well, Sting King." Ecliptor said.

Waspicable got up, as Astronema and Sting King approached the Rangers.

"Oh, dear..." Waspicable mumbled.

"Hmm?" Astronema grinned, as she stopped.

"Ohh!" Waspicable mumbled, getting up.

"End of the line, Rangers!" Sting King sneered, stopping in front of them.

"Nooo!" Waspicable cried, running towards the girls.

Sting King fired lasers out of his stinger at them both, but Waspicable dashed in front of them, and took the blasts.

"Noooooo!" both girls cried.

Sting King kept firing, but then stopped as Waspicable moaned, who then ran towards Sting King.

"Don't!" Cassie begged.

"Noooo!" Mel cried.

Sting King fired as Waspicable as he charged at him, then he jumped and pulled Sting King to the ground. Sting King then kicked him in the chest, sending him flying off him and onto his back.

Mel and Cassie then broke free from the Quantrons holding him, and then ran towards Waspicable worriedly. They both then crouched down near him and cried while helping him up.

Astronema then walked towards Sting King and Ecliptor while grinning, and then all three stared at the Rangers and Waspicable. Cassie and Mel both looked up at them, and glared angrily.

"I'll take care of the three of them." Sting King smirked.

He took a step forward, when laser blasts hit him in the chest, knocking him back slightly. Andros then jumped and flipped forward through the air, followed by Ashley, TJ and then Carlos.

"Power Rangers!" Sting King exclaimed, as they landed in front of Mel, Cassie and Waspicable.

"That's right!" Andros said, before he turned to Cassie and Mel. "Are you okay?"

Cassie nodded.

"Yeah." Mel replied. "Thanks to him."

"He saved us." Cassie cried, as Waspicable moaned.

They both then stared at Astronma, who just stood there, and then they both got up. Andros put his Astro Blaster away, as they both walked in front of him.

"What you did is unforgivable!" Mel gritted angrily.

"Let's Rocket!" Cassie hissed.

They both pushed their right hands out, and then pulled them back towards their morphers.

(Morph sequence)

The morphers opened up, and began pressing buttons on it.

"3,3,5!"

They then hit enter, and the lights beside the numbers lit up.

Cassie then morphed into her Ranger suit, as she spun around as the words 'Morphing Complete' came up, and then her helmet symbol glowed.

Mel then morphed into her Ranger suit, as she spun around as the words 'Morphing Complete' came up, and then her helmet symbol glowed.

(End morph sequence)

"Power Rangers!" they both shouted, doing their fighting poses.

Ecliptor walked past Astronema, and then turned to Sting King.

"You know what to do." he said.

"You can count on me." Sting King said, walking past him.

"Guys, let's teach these monsters a lesson!" Cassie gritted.

She and Mel then turned to Waspicable as he got back up.

"Waspicable, you've done your part." Cassie said.

"We'll take it from here." Mel said. "Get yourself somewhere safe!"

They both turned back to Sting King, Ecliptor, Astronema and the Quantrons, as Waspicable ran off.

"Alright, let's get 'em!" Cassie gritted.

"Destroy the whole city!" Ecliptor ordered.

He, Astronema and the Quantrons then all vanished.

"Huh?!" the Rangers gasped.

"That's right, Powerless Rangers!" Sting King sneered.

He then laughed as he turned around and ran away.

"Hey!" Cassie called.

"You guys, we've gotta stop him." Andros said.

Cassie and Mel turned to him.

"I know what to do." she said.

"So do I." Mel said.

"Galaxy Gilders, hang ten!" they both shouted, holding their right hands up, then moved them around in a circle, before clutching their fists and pulling them back.

The Galaxy Gilders then shot out of the Megaship, and flew down towards the Rangers. Once they were lined up, they all jumped onto them - first Andros, then Cassie, Carlos, Ashley, TJ and then Mel.

They then all raced through the city on their gilders, and then raced off into space, where Sting King was hiding.

"Fire!" he shouted, firing lighting out of his stinger.

The lighting then hit some buildings down in the city, destroying parts of them.

"Those blasts came from right around here." Ashley said, as the Rangers - minus Carlos - gathered together.

"Yeah, but where?" Mel questioned.

More lighting then came out from space, hitting the five Rangers.

"Ahhh!" they moaned.

They all regained their balance just as Carlos joined them.

"Is everyone okay?" Andros asked.

"Yeah. Did you see where it came from?" Ashley inquired.

"I couldn't really tell." TJ replied.

"It's too dark to see anything!" Mel argued.

"Cassie, you've gotta use your Satellite Stunner to pinpoint his exact location." Carlos realized.

"You've got it." Cassie said, holding her hand up like an O.

Her helmet symbol lit up, and then she brought out her Satellite Stunner.

"Here goes." she said.

She fired sonic waves out of her stunner, which then hit Sting King, shocking him slightly as he turned visible.

"Yeah." Cassie grinned. "There he is."

"Alright, let's get to work." Carlos grinned, bringing his Lunar Lance out, attached to his Astro Blaster.

"Spiral Saber!" Andros shouted, bringing it out, attached to his Astro Blaster.

"Astro Axe!" TJ shouted, bringing it out, attached to his Astro Blaster.

"Star Slinger!" bringing it out, attached to her Astro Blaster.

"Satellite Stunner!" Cassie shouted, holding it up, attached to her Astro Blaster.

"Solar Spear!" Mel shouted, bringing it out, attached to her Astro Blaster.

"Fire!" they all shouted, firing together.

Their blasts joined together as they moved towards Sting King, hitting him in the chest.

"Aghhh!" he screamed.

"Yeah, direct hit." Carlos cheered, punching his fist down.

"That oughta bring him back down to Earth." Ashley hoped. "Ha!"

Sting King spun around out of control as he fell back towards Earth. He screamed as he landed in a small forest near a building, and then landed on the ground hard. He moaned as he got back up, and saw the Rangers charging at him.

"You're about to be as busy as bees!" he snapped.

He fired a swarm of bees out of his stinger.

"Huh?!" the Rangers gasped, as they stopped running.

"Ahh!" TJ groaned.

"Ugh!" the girls moaned, as the bees began to sting them.

Sting King laughed.

"Sting them, my little drones!" he commanded.

The bees stung the Rangers hard, especially Carlos as he fell down.

"Ahh!" he moaned.

He brought out his Astro Blaster, and then fired at Sting King, hitting his stinger.

"Aghh!" he moaned, as his bees fell to the ground, and then disappeared. "Oh, no, my bees!"

"You're bees aren't so busy now." Carlos retorted, getting up.

The Rangers then each brought out their weapons, and then charged at Sting King. Cassie then jumped and fired her Satellite Stunner at him, hitting him in the chest. TJ then twirled around in the air and hit him with his Astro Axe, and then Ashley fired her Star Slinger at him, hitting him in the chest. Mel then stabbed him in the chest with her Solar Spear, then Andros stabbed him in the neck with his Spiral Saber. Carlos then sent two slashes out of his Lunar Lance, creating an X shape, which then hit Sting King.

Sparks then came out of him as he turned around.


Onboard the Dark Fortress, Astronema was watched as Sting King fell onto the ground on the viewing screen.

"Two wasps, and still those Power Rangers survive?!" she questioned annoyed, as Elgar and some Quantrons stood behind her. "Not for long. Fire the Satellasers!"

The Satellasers then fired from the Dark Fortress towards Earth.


The Satellasers then hit Sting King as he got back up, making him grow giant.

"Whoa!" the Rangers gasped, looking up at him.

Sting King fired lasers out of his eyes as he spun around in a circle, destroying several buildings.

"We need Astro Megazord power now!" the Rangers shouted, holding their right hands up like a chopper, and their left by their chests like a chopper, then twirled them around while clutching their fists, then held their left up, and their right by their left elbows, then held their right arms up, and their left by their mouthpieces.

Up in space, the shuttle - now with the Rangers inside - turned around and shot straight for the Astro Megaship.

The front of the Megaship then split in half, and went down either side of it, as the shuttle flew towards the top of the bits that split.

The back of the shuttle retracted itself, then the front of it lifted it, showing a head.

The sides of the Megaship then came out slightly, then turned slightly, forming some arms, while the bits that had split lowered themselves and changed into leg shapes. The shuttle then attached itself to the top, forming the Astro Megazord.

Rangers...in Space.

The Astro Megazord then shot down towards Earth, holding its shield out as it began to burn up upon entering the atmosphere.

Go Power Rangers
Go Power Rangers
Go Power Rangers
Ah...

Sting King looked up as the Astro Megazord dived towards him, and then it brought out its saber.

..in Space!

The Astro Megazord then kicked Sting King in the face, knocking him down, and then it landed on the ground. It then charged at him as he got back up, then he tried to hit it with his stinger, but it blocked it with its shield, while also stabbing him with its saber.

"Aghh!" he moaned.

The Astro Megazord then lifted him up with its saber, sending him flying over him and onto the ground, but he quickly got back up and turned to it.

"Take this!" he shouted.

He fired lasers out of his eyes, which the Astro Megazord deflected with its shield, while bringing out its blaster. It then fired its blaster at him, hitting him in the chest, making him cry in pain.

"Power Rangers have quite the sting too." Andros joked, clutching his fist.

Sting King turned around as lighting came out of him, and then he turned into a black energy ball, which then blew up.


Later, on the Dark Fortress, Astronema and Elgar walked through a door as it opened.

"No more insects!" Astronema said sternly, as they walked onto the bridge. "Got it?!"

"Ex-nay on the x-bee. Right." Elgar replied.

"Sound the alarm!" Astronema bellowed.

A Quantron nodded, then pressed buttons on a control panel.

An alarm blared as more then slid down a pole near Elgar, who was holding a pencil and clipboard.

"Okay, no bugs and no French painters." he said, before seeing the Quantrons run past him. "Hey, where's the fire?!"

Ecliptor then walked onto the bridge, past some Quantrons on the controls, and then walked towards Astronema.

"Ecliptor reporting as ordered, my princess." he said, putting his sword down. "How may I serve you?"

"Prepare all the Quantrons!" Astronema commanded. "I have a plan for the next time we meet the Rangers."

She turned around and walked past Ecliptor.

"It will be done, Astronema." he said.


Meanwhile, the Rangers ran towards Waspicable in the park, who was hiding behind a bush. Once close, both Mel and Cassie de-morphed, and then helped him up.

"Are you okay?" Cassie asked frantically.

"Yeah. He just winged me." Waspicable replied.

"You saved our lives." Mel cried. "Thank you. You really helped us both out back there."

"It's okay." Waspicable said. "I'm sorry, too. I never wanted to hurt anyone, I just wanted to be good at something. But I guess I'm not much of a monster. What a failure!"

"Being nice isn't a failure." Cassie assured, as Waspicable cried. "It's exactly the opposite. You have a big heart. That's not a failure."

Waspicable turned to her and Mel.

"Maybe it wouldn't be, if I was human." he said sadly. "But I'm not. I don't even know what I am anymore."

"Whatever you are, you have a heart that tells you what to do." Mel told him. "And it's telling you not to be evil."

"Ahh!" Waspicable sighed, walking away slightly.

He, Mel and Cassie looked up as they heard crying, and they saw Sherri and her mom back where her birthday party had been.

"What's that?" Waspicable wondered.

Sherri wiped her tears as she cried, while her mom comforted her.

"I'm the one who made her cry." Waspicable said sadly, as he cried tears of regret.

Cassie and Mel looked at him sadly, as the other Rangers just watched.

Waspicable then stopped crying, and then ran off.

"Wait, where are you going?!" Cassie called.

Waspicable jumped up and shrunk himself, before flying off into the sky.

"Power down!" Andros shouted, as he, TJ, Ashley and Carlos crossed their fists over each other, and then lowered them, de-morphing.

They all then walked towards Mel and Cassie.

"Well, you think he'll stay good or turn evil?" Ashley questioned.

"I don't know." Carlos answered. "Like Mel said, this one's different from most. I hope he does..."

"Look." TJ grinned, pointing at the sky.

They all looked up, and saw Waspicable fly around Sherri's balloons, and then guided them back down. Sherri kept wiping her tears as her mom looked up.

"Sherri, look at that." she said, seeing the balloons come down.

Sherri looked up, and then ran towards the balloons as they came down, and then she grabbed them as she and her mom smiled.

"Oh..." her mom awed.

They both smiled and laughed.

"I have a feeling he'll be good." Cassie said.

"So do I...forever." Mel smiled.

They both ran towards Sherri and her mom, as the others all smiled.

"Sherri!" Cassie called.

"Hi." Sherri said.

"Isn't that wonderful, how your balloons came back." Cassie said.

"So how do you feel, Sherri?" Mel asked.

"I'm happy now." Sherri replied.

"Oh, happy birthday." Cassie said.

"Thanks." Sherri smiled.

She laughed as Mel and Cassie looked up at the sky, thanking Waspicable in their heads.


Next time on Power Rangers in Space...

Phantom Ranger hides behind a bush crouched down.

"Rangers, Dark Spector's holding Zordon on the planet Hercuron." he explained.

A tracking device beeps in the jungle.

On the Megaship, the Rangers look at the viewing screen.

"Set a course for Hercuron!" Andros ordered.

On Hercuron, Divatox stares at Zordon - who has fire at the bottom of his tube, with a suction tube on either side - as a bunch of Piranhatrons stand around him.

"Soon I will drain him of his powers, and the universe will be mine." Dark Spector declared, who was above them.

Divatox grinned as Rygog stood behind her.

A crocodile monster pops up out of a lake, scaring people away - including a fisherman.

"Ahhh!" they screamed, getting up.

The crocodile hit the Astro Megazord with its claw, knocking it down onto its chest, and then another hits it in the back with a tail like hand.

"Andros, all systems are failing!" TJ reported loudly, hitting his controls. "Where are you?!"

Andros stands in a room looking at a control panel.

"Here goes nothing." he shrugged, putting a disc into a hole.

The room lights up bright red, making Andros cover his visor.

"Ah! The self-destruct sequence is activated!" he exclaimed.

"..9, 8..." the panel counted.
