Lord Zedd has told his new warrior the identities of the Power Rangers and that they draw there power from power coins, he also tells his protégé that there leader the being known as Zordon of Eltar. He gives the Ranger a jamming device that is designed to block the power that runs through the command centre cutting the Rangers off from not only Zordon but his robot aid Alpha 5. The evil Ranger teleports to the command centre to use the device.

Back at the youth centre, Aisha brings Tommy back to the rest of the group, he still seems a little dejected. The others attempt to cheer him back up.
"It was an incredible match," Adam tells him, Tommy just sighs.
"Yeah," agrees Kat, "if you guys had a 12 matches, it'd probably end with you getting half a dozen wins and him getting six."
"You think so," says Tommy starting to regain his composure.
"Of course it's true," Aisha adds in her infectiously optimistic manner, "your one of the greatest martial artistes in the world."
"And the greatest Ranger," Adam adds in a hushed tone.
Much of the pettiness that Tommy was feeling had left him, and he had his pride restored by his friends. With Tommy once again back to his normal self, full reassured, the communicators built into their watches went off. Tommy led them to a dark corner of the gym and then answered.
"Rangers," Alpha bleated over the device, "we have urgent news come to the command centre at once."
Tommy turns to his friends after hearing the message, "okay guys lets go."
"What about Billy," Rocky asks.
"He's at his lab," Tommy tells him, "he'll meet us there."

The, now six, Rangers are teleported to the outside of the command centre the power dying before they could get all the way to there destination.
"That's really weird," notes Adam.
"Definitely," agrees Aisha.
The Rangers force the doors open and see the command centre in total darkness. They cautiously move inside and see, to their horror, Zordon is gone and Alpha 5 is totally in active.
Billy goes across and examines Alpha, "there doesn't seem to be any damage to Alpha, it's as if some one just took out his batteries."
"But who could have done it," asks Kat as Billy rejoins the rest of the Rangers in the centre of the control room.
"That," Adam grimly notes, "is the mystery."
"A mystery no longer," cries a voice from behind the Rangers, they turn to see the silhouette of a figure in the doorway. As he walks out into the light and his features are revealed he tells the Rangers, "it was my doing, I am the new Green Ranger."
"If you really where a Ranger," Rocky calls towards him stepping forward, "you'd be fighting with us."
"I serve a real power in this cosmos," he mockingly replies, "I serve Lord Zedd."
"Well if you want to rip off my act," Tommy warns, "you have to be prepared for the consequences." He turns to the others and cries, "it's morphing time!"
After each Ranger calls on their powers they approach the stranger, he laughs off their display of power.
"It takes more then brightly coloured pyjamas to scare me," he tells them. He then notes he is out numbered and calls on a Putty Patrol.
In the fight that follows the Rangers spend most of the time beating on the Putties as the Green Ranger picks his shots on the Rangers when they are undefended. After the evil warrior has weakened the other Rangers he goes face to face with Tommy, who challenges his counterpart in green to a one on one confrontation.
The other Rangers finish off the putties as the White and Green Rangers stare out one another.
"We are two sides of the same coin," the Green Ranger tells the hero, "the Ying and the Yang. The good and the evil, the light and the dark."
"No," Tommy tells him, "we are not the same, you are an impostor, a fake. You are not like me at all."
"We are more alike then you know. We are the same you and I, the path you have trod I now walk, I am the warrior you are, were and always shall be."
With the banter part of the fight out of the way the two combatants engage in mortal combat. The contest is a stalemate neither giving nor gaining in the fight, any shots that get through the defence of either fighter are absorbed by the armour they both where. In the end as the other Rangers return to support Tommy, the White Ranger lands a powerful kick that sends his foe to the ground ten feet from where he was stood.
"This is not over Rangers," The Green Ranger tells them as he disappears.

The Rangers return to the command centre, Billy slips into a side room and returns with a battery powered flash light.
"I'll start to look into what's happened here," Billy tells them, "and how we can reverse it you guys get back to the juice bar, see if you can find any suspects for who the Green Ranger could be."
"Good idea Billy," Tommy agreed, "I think the key to defeating the Green Ranger has something to do with what he said to me, I just can't put my finger on it yet."
* * *
"I can't believe the Power Rangers defeated you," Lord Zedd is furious.
"They didn't defeat me," Eddy protests, "it was a fairly brave retreat," Lord Zedd is not amused. "Well," he continues, "they were six highly skilled martial artistes and I was unarmed."
"You want a weapon," A thought crosses Lord Zedd's brain, "then you must prove yourself worthy of one. Bring me the power coins of five of the rangers and I will give you a weapon of immense power."
"No problem."
* * *
At the command centre Billy, who has demorphed, has made little progress, he keeps discovering time and again the machines are undamaged; they just have no power reaching them. He just became more and more frustrated, so frustrated that he didn't notice a figure appear behind him. The figure walks over and calmly covers Billy's mouth and nose with a rag soaked in chloroform until he passes out and then takes his power coin.
* * *
The other five Rangers have split up and begin to ask subtle questions of their fellow patrons at the juice bar. Eddy watches from the doorway, then slips out, he convinces a local troublemaker to bring him Aisha's bag for ten dollars. The punk does it and Eddy steals the yellow power coin, returning the bag to its rightful owner straight afterwards. He claims the lad who tried to steal the bag got away, Tommy is not impressed by the act of supposed heroics. Bulk and Skull enquire why Adam is asking all these questions, getting right up in his face, Rocky slips his bag off his shoulder and goes to support Adam.
"I suppose you know this could be seen as police harassment," Rocky tells the two members of the junior police patrol. It doesn't take long for Bulk and Skull to back down.
When Rocky returns to his bag, he is surprised he left it open. Eddy next goes up to Adam and tells him that back where he's from Bulk and Skull would be off the force for that. Suddenly as they move up the steps to the counter of the juice bar Eddy trips and collides with Adam, they go down in a heap. As the other Rangers come across to help them up they are detangling themselves and Eddy is apologising.
"I am so sorry," he enthuses, "I can be such a twerp at times."
"Oh don't worry," Adam reassures, "it's lucky you didn't do that against Tommy."
"Yes," Tommy adds suspiciously, "wasn't it just."
Kat walks Tommy away and tells him to try and be nicer to Eddy, she still remembers what it's like to be new to a town. The others have gone back to their questioning, Eddy passes Kat her bag back, that she left by him as she took Tommy to the side.

"He's done it," Lord Zedd exclaims with a mix of shock and delight, "now it is time to send down a monster." A beam fires from his staff and hits an bug in the park. "Arise Spi-Dor."
The spider turns into a seven-foot tall blue skinned monster with eight eyes in pairs of two above each other on its cone like head.
