Billy, Zack and Trini were still at the Angel Grove High School gym. Everyone else has gone home. They wanted to stay and make sure that their invention would be ready for the next day. Zack was growing impatient because they had plans to meet the other rangers at the movies.

"Come on guys, Jason, Tommy and Kim are waiting." Said Zack

"Give us a few more minutes Zack." Said Billy

Suddenly two men dressed in janitor uniforms walk in and confront them

"All right kids time to go we're locking up for the night." Said one of the men

"Could you give us a few more minutes please?" Trini asked

"We're afraid we can't do that." They said as turn into Skugs

The three rangers are stunned by what they see as the Skugs attack them. Billy, Zack and Trini fight them using their martial arts. More Skugs appear as the three of them start to get overwhelmed. Suddenly Jason, Tommy and Kimberly walk in and see their friends in trouble and immediately jump in to help them. During the fight one of the skugs grabs Billy's invention and teleports with it. The rangers finish off the rest of the skugs as they all malfunction and evaporate. After wards Billy noticed that his invention was gone.

"Those things took our invention!" Billy yelled

"What were those things?" Zack asked

"I don't know we saw them in the park earlier." Said Jason

"One thing for sure they're not putties." Said Kimberly

"Guys we better go to the command center and ask Zordon." Tommy suggested

They teleported to the command center where they were greeted by Zordon and Alpha 5. They tell them about their encounter with the skugs.

"So Zordon, do you know what those things are?" Jason asked

"No, but I do know Rangers that they are not from this universe or even the galaxy." He said

"So, wait are you saying that we're being invaded by alien robots?" Zack asked

"Ay yi yi!" Alpha said

"You know in the park Ryan, Kaitlin and JB were fighting those things like they encountered them before." Said Tommy

"What are saying Tommy? That your friend Ryan Steele is an alien from outer space?" Kimberly asked

"Ryan Steele? Any relation to Tyler Steele?" Billy asked

"Who's Tyler Steele?" Trini asked

"Ryan's dad. He disappeared years ago." Tommy answered

"So, he walked out on him?" Kimberly asked

"More like vanished. From what I read Tyler was a brilliant scientist all of sudden he just vanished along with another scientist Doctor Horatio Hart." Said Billy

"I think I better talk to Ryan." Said Tommy

"Be care Tommy, you can't let him on to our identity." Said Jason


At the Virtual fortress Grimlord was celebrating his victory in obtaining Billy's Invention.

"Now that we have the holographic portal device, we will be able to proceed our plan." Said Grimlord

"Which is what?" asked Colonel Icebot

"With this device we are going to pull the Earth into our reality." Said Grimlord

"What about the Power rangers and the Troopers they are going to try to stop us." Said General Ivar.

"Don't worry we will crush them all." Grimlord declared
