Power rangers are the property of Saban.
Previously on Power rangers...
Zanek is gasping for air and is clearly badly hurt. He crawls to the console and weakly takes the tape out and throws it at the force field where it is destroyed. He stands up with his last ounce of strength and starts passing back through the force fields. Auros appears.
"I'm not going to make it am I?"
"Your life energy is slipping fast." Auros shakes his head.
"Zanek!" Cassie cries outside.
Zanek passes through the last force field and finally has no more energy left to stand.
"I made it!"
Zanek smiles and goes limp.
"Zanek." Auros looks sadly then disappears.

Carlos is standing still in the middle of a room. His head is hanging down low. He raises his head up and goes into a stance. He let 's out a karate yell and kicks the air.
"I let you die Zanek. I could have stopped you from entering that building."
Zanek shows up suddenly.
"What are you doing? You should be at the medical bay." Karone signs.
Zanek shakes his head.
"As long as the power rangers are needed than so am I."
Carlos does a jump kick.
"I could have done something."
Carlos imagines him knocking out Zanek with a hard blow to the head.
"Then you'd still be alive."
""And now for episode 25.""
Turlok is storming around the bridge.
"Those damn rangers defeated one of my best officers."
Turlok turns his rage to a console and blows it up.
"Uh sir?" A bridge officer shrinks meekly.
"WHAT?"
"Uh I can recommend some non-vital consoles to destroy."
Turlok yells and blows the officer away with his weapon.
"I'll destroy whatever the hell parts of the ship i want to!"
Turlok looks around.
"Anyone else object to that?"
But everybody else is too scared to say anything.
"It's time to take the kiddie gloves off. I want to plan an all out assault on earth. With everything we've got."
"Yes sir. I'll gather up all the drones we have."
"It will take more than that. It's time I show the rangers what a real warrior is like."
"Are you sure that's a good idea? We can't afford to loose another captain."
"I don't care. Those rangers must pay for killing my warrior."
"Yes sir."
Turlok gets an idea.
"Get me in contact with this frequency."
Turlok reads off something to the officer.
"But sir. That's..."
"I know who that is."
The officer reluctantly responds. He pushes some buttons and the screen comes to life.
"This is weapons smuggler Zax here. How can I help you?"
"This is pirate Turlok. I need the vortex suit from you."
"The vortex suit is not for sale currently."
Turlok makes a fist.
"You will sell it to me or I will destroy you."
The guy on the screen looks un afraid.
"Do you know how many times people have said that to me? I will not sell you that suit. However I will give it to you if you do me a favor."
Turlok grimaces.
"Name your price."
"I am getting a reading that you have the life gem on board."
The man on screen smiles.
"I want it."
Turlok sighs.
"Fine. Cause I won't need it anymore once I have the suit."
"Captain are you crazy? That gem has been the one thing that has allowed us to attack the earth."
"We won't need it. The suit will allow me to be victorious."
The man on screen is starting to look bored and coughs.
"Yes where can I pick it up?"
"At these coordinates."
Alien numbers appear on the screen.
"I will be there shortly."
The screen goes blank.
"Set a course for those coordinates at maximum speed."
Turlok takes one last look at the earth.
"Enjoy your lives now rangers cause they will be over soon."
The explorer ship goes into hyper speed. Meanwhile on earth at Dr. Frankenstein's lab, Bulk and Skull are laying in bed looking really awful.
"Bulky? Is this really worth what we are being paid for?"
Bulk coughs up some disgusting looking phlegm.
"Hell no! But the doctor makes this seem so important."
Skull turns his head to the wall.
"That's good. I always wanted to feel important."
"How are you feeling today boys?" Dr. Frankenstein enters the room.
"How do you think?" Bulk scowls.
"Ah yes the Gartering flu is quite nasty."
The doctor injects Bulk and Skull to take their blood samples. He then looks at them under the microscope. He then frowns.
"Damn it. The vaccine is doing nothing."
The doctor sweeps his hand and brings the microscope crashing to the floor.
"Maybe I am wasting my time."
Bulk weakly raises his head.
"Oh no."
Skull nods in agreement.
"Yeah if there is any possibility then you should never give up."
Bulk frowns and coughs up more dark phlegm.
"What am I saying?"
Meanwhile the rangers are meeting at the medical bay. But it seems so empty without Zanek or Auros there.
"Have you seen Auros yet?" Ashley frowns.
Carlos shakes his head.
"No. Not since Zanek," Carlos chokes on the last word "Died."
Cassie puts her arm on Carlos.
"I know you blame yourself for his death. Any of us could have stopped him. Or at least tried to."
"But I doubt we would have succeeded. He was so headstrong." Ashley smiles.
Carlos looks up and smiles.
"Yeah he was."
"Instead of mourning his death all the time. Let's celebrate his life. What we knew about him."
"We didn't know much. But he changed our lives. He saved the earth."
Cassie sheds a tear.
"He was the greatest alien I ever met. Aside from Andros that is."
"That's it. Karone. Tell us what you remember."
"Well I didn't know him as long as you guys did. But I liked what I got to know. He allowed me to be a good fighter for the first time. The only fighter i ever was before was Astronema. Part of what I like about being a ranger is that I am atoning for what I did as her."
"Zanek was a good person and we will never forget him."
The 4 huddle together and join hands. Meanwhile on a far away space station, a transaction is being completed. A small alien from the communication is handing over a massive suit to Turlok. Turlok hands over the gem and smiles.
"At last I have it."
Turlok puts on the suit and turns it on.
"Uh you shouldn't do that in here."
But nothing happens.
"It doesn't work. There's something you aren't telling me isn't there?"
The small alien shrinks in fear. Turlok eyes the gem and his eyes go wild.
"The gem! Of course. That's why you wanted it."
Turlok picks the alien up into the air.
"You wanted to scam me."
The alien shakes his head. Turlok rips the gem from the alien's hands and places it in the center of the chest plate. The suit powers up and Turlok swells in size.
"The power! I can feel it!"
The alien starts to back away.
"And now for your payment."
Turlok yells and a huge blast of energy shoots from his hands. The blast incinerates the alien, leaving no trace.
"Soon the earth and vengeance will be mine!"
Turlok yells and a power aura surrounds him and gets bigger all the time. Suddenly the whole station crumbles around him and he finds himself floating in space.
It's coming...
Bulk is lying on the bed and he sneezes again. But this time something is different.
"Uh doc?"
The doctor goes over to Bulk.
"Yes?"
"Is this supposed to be fatal?"
"No. Not that I know of."
Bulk shows the doctor his hand. It has blood on it.
To be continued...
In two episodes the greatest plague to ever hit humanity since the black plague will come and devastate angel grove. But first next time Turlok attacks earth with his new suit. Can the rangers defeat him?
