Part III: Zedd's Revenge
"So, this is your base?" Optimus Prime asked outside of the Control Room.
"Yes," Kimberly replied.
"It is advanced. I have been in this building before, but who knew Earthlings could construct such sophisticated structures," Red Alert said, looking at Optimus.
"Yes, I agree. Humans must have sophisticated technology if they built this!"
"We didn't build it. Zordon did," Billy said.
"Yes, I needed a place to conceal myself, so I modified the Morphin Grid to construct the Command Center."
"Are you native to this planet?" Optimus asked, still staring unbelievably at him. He never saw a floating head in a tube before.
"No, Alpha Five and I are from Eltar," Zordon replied.
"Um, sorry for cutting this conversation short but Starscream has the Spark now. We'd better be careful," Red Alert said.
"We need reinforcements. I'll contact the others," Optimus Prime said.
"Good, I hope your friends can help us defeat Megatron and the Decepticons. We need all the help we can get," Tommy replied.
"Zordon, is there anything else we could defend ourselves with?" Trini asked.
"Not at this moment but I'll inform you when the time comes."
"Alright."
"Meanwhile we'd better study for our math test," Kimberly said and looked at Tommy.
"Oh! The test! I forgot!" Tommy said.
"It seems you're busy with your normal lives," Optimus said.
"Yeah, we try our best to live our lives while dealing with Zedd's clowns."
"We understand. Go study."
Tommy laughed. "Thanks!"
"Hey, maybe I can help," Red Alert said.
"Uh, sure, but where do we go without you being seen?"
"I would stay here but it's too cramped… well, not that cramped, but I can only stay in this space."
"Yeah and besides, I'm sure they need to focus on what Zedd is doing," Tommy said, looking at Zordon and Alpha.
"How about that abandoned quarry we're always fighting in?" Kimberly suggested.
"But, we were just there."
Kimberly shrugged.
"Alright, let's go," Tommy said.
Red Alert transformed into an ambulance outside the Control Room and opened the front door. "Get in. I'll drive."
"In an ambulance?" Kimberly stated.
"Why couldn't you have chosen another vehicle like a regular car?" Tommy asked, although he already had this conversation with him.
"I'm sorry. I could scan another vehicle," Red Alert replied.
"It's OK."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. Just try not to go to school or any other places that you don't see ambulances."
"OK." The door opened, and Tommy climbed in the backseat.
Kimberly hesitated for a second then hopped in beside Tommy. The door closed.
"Have fun studying, you three!" Zack smiled.
"Good luck, Rangers and Red Alert," Zordon said. "May the power protect you."
"Hang on," Red Alert said, and the steering wheel moved itself. He drove through the dark interior of the Command Center, and all of the sudden, they were out in the bright daylight on top of a mountain.
Tommy and Kimberly looked amazed at the fact they were riding in a self-driving ambulance. At the same time, they were a little uneasy. Tommy kept getting urges to grab the wheel and take control.
"Just relax, I'm a good driver," Red Alert's voice spoke as he drove down the rocky hill.
"Uh, OK, Red Alert," Tommy said.
"Red Alert, are you sure where you're going?" Kimberly asked.
"Not really."
"Do you want us to teleport there?"
"Uh, sure."
Tommy and Kimberly pushed the teleportation buttons on their communicators and they teleported up in the sky as pink, white, and gray light waves.
They reemerged at the edge of the query, still in the vehicle.
"Uh-oh, there are no other ambulances here," Red Alert said.
"It's OK, no one else seems to be here," Tommy replied.
"OK," Red Alert said. The door opened and Tommy and Kimberly looked at each other, as if they were reflecting on the fact they rode in a self-driving ambulance. Then, they got out.
"Like riding in a self-driving Zord," Tommy said and unconsciously closed the door. Red Alert transformed into Robot Mode.
"Now, let's get down to business," Kimberly said and set her pink backpack down on the ground. Without any warning, Red Alert sat down with a thud that made Tommy and Kimberly stumble.
"Whoa!" Tommy exclaimed. "It's like Zedd's monsters walking around while they're huge."
"Huh?"
"Lord Zedd can enlarge his monsters with his bombs."
"Really?"
"Yeah. They become as tall as skyscrapers."
"How do you fight them?"
"Remember, we keep mentioning Zords? They're huge robots, bigger than you, and we use them to fight huge monsters," Tommy said.
"You have robots?"
"Yeah, we control them."
"So, they're not sentient?"
"Well…" Kimberly started and looked at Tommy.
"I talk to my Tiger Zord sometimes," Tommy said.
"Does it talk back?"
"No."
"Let's start studying, guys," Kimberly said and sat down besides Red Alert.
"Yeah," Tommy replied and sat next to her.
She was about to open her book when the sky turned black.
"Hey, what's going on?" Red Alert blurted out.
A figure flew above them. "What is that?" Tommy asked, pointing. They could barely see the figure as it started descending. When it was about fifteen feet from the ground, they saw it was red and looked like it was holding a staff.
"Is that a Zedd?" Tommy blurted out, recognizing the Z on his chest as his wings flapped.
"Hello, Rangers and their hunk of junk. Nice to see you!" He flew down and landed in front of them.
Tommy stared at his armored body. "What happened to you?"
"I had a little enhancement from the Spark."
Red Alert gasped. "What?"
"That little ball of light Starscream put into his chest, rejected him and chose me! I have unlimited power, NOW!"
"But, you're an organic life-form. Sparks only join with mechanical beings like myself."
"Well, it must've recognized my strength and great potential."
"Yeah, well, we'll just have to kick your butt even harder!" Tommy exclaimed.
"Oh, I've waited for this for a long time!" Zedd exclaimed, with a tight grasp of his staff.
"Ready?" Kimberly looked at Tommy.
"Ready... IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" Tommy yelled, his hand behind his back.
Kimberly and Tommy pulled their Morphers out.
"Let me show you one of my new powers," Lord Zedd said and touch his visor to shoot a blue beam out, reaching their Morphers. They shook in their hands. Before Tommy and Kimberly knew it, the Morphers were yanked out of their hands.
"HEY!"
"Give those back!" Kimberly exclaimed.
Zedd laughed. As the Morphers floated to him, he grabbed them. "You're as defenseless as flies on flypaper!"
"I'll get those back for you!" Red Alert said and charged at Zedd.
"Time for a lightning storm!" Zedd pointed his staff at him and red lightening shot from it, zapping Red Alert. He yelled and collapsed on the gravel.
"Red ALERT!" Tommy shouted.
Zedd laughed. "You pathetic weaklings are no match for me!"
"You won't get away with this!"
"Oh yeah? You three are coming with me!" Zedd exclaimed and aimed his staff at them. Red lightening fired out and zapped Tommy, Kimberly, and Red Alert. They teleported out with him.
"You just throw the ball in the net to get points?" Optimus Prime asked, standing near the basketball court. Jason had told him nobody ever comes by the court at mid-afternoon on Sundays so he could come along without being seen. Just a little while ago, Optimus laid his large metal hand down on the hoop and almost tore it off. Jason suggested maybe he shouldn't do that again and Optimus apologized.
"Yep," Zack answered Optimus' question, while dribbling the ball.
"And that's it?"
"Yes. Simple, huh?" Zack laughed.
"I guess it's challenging to you humans."
"Yes, that's the point. People enjoy challenges. We partake on physical tests of strength and agility so we can improve our reflexes," Billy replied, sitting on the bench. He wore his blue tank top.
Zack ran and grabbed the ball from Jason.
"Hey, give that back!" Jason exclaimed and started chasing Zack.
"Can you catch the Zack-man?" He ran around the court, dribbling the ball. Jason was catching up as Trini and Billy cheered.
"Go, Jason!" Trini exclaimed.
"Oh, too slow!" He jumped and made a slam dunk. "Oh! Slam!" Zack laughed. He ran and snatched the ball again. Dribbling he said, "It's time for my slamma-jamma double-whamma hip hop—"
"Just throw the ball! Jason interrupted.
"Alright," he replied and tossed the ball in the hoop.
"My turn now!" Jason ran and snatched the ball up. He dribbled only a few feet before Zack intercepted the ball, grinning just before Jason yanked it out of his reach. "Two points!"
Trini clapped and cheered.
Zack high-fived his opponent.
"For some reason, I'm enjoying this game," Optimus said.
"I'd invite you to join, but you'd easily trash us," Zack replied.
"What do you mean?"
"He means you'd easily win because you're so big," Trini replied, sitting down in a chair next to Billy.
"Yes, I'm sorry."
"Hey, man, it's OK," Zack said.
"Let's contact Kimberly and Tommy and ask them to join us. I know they're busy studying but a break couldn't hurt," Trini said.
"OK," Jason replied, dropping the ball. He held his wrist to his face and pushed the button on his communicator. "Kimberly, Tommy, are you there?" He waited but nobody answered. "Kimberly, Tommy, answer."
"I'll contact Red Alert," Optimus said and pressed his finger to the side of his head. "Optimus Prime to Red Alert. Come in." Nothing. "Come in, Red Alert."
"Something's wrong," Trini said.
"Maybe they're just busy," Zack said.
"We'd better make sure," Jason said and pushed the button once again. "Zordon, I think something happened with Tommy and Kimberly; they aren't answering their communicators. Also, Red Alert is not answering."
"Teleport to the Command Center immediately."
"Right," Jason replied. "Come on, Optimus Prime, you'd better come along."
The four Rangers pushed the teleportation button and the Rangers flew up as energy beams with Optimus.
They landed in the Command Center with Optimus outside of the Control Room.
"Can you find them?" Jason asked.
"I'm searching for them now," Alpha said and began dialing in frequencies.
"It's not like them to not respond," Jason said then added, "I know they're busy studying though."
"I'm positive they will respond momentarily," Billy replied.
In Zedd's throne room, Kimberly and Tommy stood in the corner. Red laser bars surrounded them.
"What are you gonna do to us?!" Tommy demanded.
"Where's Red Alert?" Kimberly added.
"He's in a safe place for now," Zedd replied.
"If you hurt him…" Tommy started.
"Where are our Morphers?" Kimberly asked.
"You mean these?" Zedd said, holding them in his metallic hand.
Tommy ran up to the bars.
Zedd laughed. "Oh, I forgot to mention my palace has an invisible communication barrier, so nobody can find you, not even your all mighty leader, Zordon!"
The Rangers stayed quiet.
Megatron walked in. "Well, well, well, two powerless humans behind bars… How delightful!" He walked to them.
"Let us out!" Kimberly exclaimed.
"Our friends will rescue us and when they do…"
"They will destroy us and rescue you? Is that what you were about to say?" Megatron interrupted Tommy.
"Yeah, you hit the nail on the head," Tommy said.
Megatron chuckled. "We're not worried about your friends one megabyte. You see that we have an army of superior soldiers!"
"I think I'll go back down to Earth and have a little fun," Zedd said.
"Perhaps, I'll join you later," Megatron said.
"Ooh! The two of us wreaking havoc on that puny planet called Earth! We will be unstoppable!"
"You'll never succeed, Zedd!" Tommy exclaimed.
He laughed. "I already have succeeded and it's a matter of time until I rule the universe!" He laughed once again and teleported out.
Megatron looked out the opening of the Throne Room at Earth. "Soon, the universe will be mine!"
"I thought you were in cahoots with Zedd," Tommy replied.
Megatron looked at Tommy. "He's just a pawn in my grand scheme to rule the universe!"
"Yeah, well, you'll never succeed."
"What great confidence you have! Maybe I'll consider sparing you after the conquering of your planet!"
"Dream on, Megatron."
"Relax. Take a nap. It will be over soon enough!"
Back at the Command Center, everybody was still pacing around the Control Room, waiting for Alpha.
Any luck?" Zack asked.
"Not yet, I have put a search out in every dimension, but I can't find them," Alpha replied, working on the control panel.
"Man, where could they be?"
"Don't worry, they've got to be somewhere," Jason replied.
"Yeah, but where?"
The alarm sounded.
"Aye yai yai yai yai!" Alpha exclaimed.
"What now?" Zack said.
"My sensors picked up something very powerful in the park. Behold the viewing Globe," Zordon said. The Rangers turned around as the Globe depicted Lord Zedd walking on the grass zapping everything with his staff, causing fiery explosions.
"Come out, Power Rangers! Come out and play!" ZAP! Zedd fired red lightening from his staff. BOOM! The Jungle gym blew up. Nothing was left except a huge singed dirt area. People were running and screaming everywhere.
"Zedd?" Zack blurted out.
"What happened to him?" Jason asked.
"Aye yai yai!" Alpha screeched. "Zedd never goes out and attacks! Oh! This is bad!"
"I sense that he's acquired new powers, but I can't track where they came from," Zordon said.
"New powers or not; we'll beat him," Jason said.
"Be careful, Rangers; Lord Zedd was already powerful. There's no telling what he can do now with his enhanced abilities," Zordon replied.
"We will," Jason said.
"Then, may the Power protect you."
Jason, Billy, Zack, Trini used their wrist communicators to teleport to the park with Optimus Prime.
"Aw, it's the Rangers with their pathetic robot friend," Zedd said and looked at Optimus Prime. "It's a pleasure to beat you!"
"I see you got a little upgrade," Zack said.
"Where are Tommy and Kimberly?!" Trini demanded.
"Wouldn't you like to know!"
"Guess we have to kick your butt!" Zack said and reached behind him.
"IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" Jason yelled and pulled his Morpher out.
Without any warning, Zedd rose up and flew to them and extended his staff out, knocking their Morphers out of their hands.
"OUR MORPHERS!" Trini yelled. Jason grabbed for his but Zedd shot lightening from his staff, causing the Rangers to leap out of the way.
"Four more Morphers! I'll add these to my collection," Zedd said, swooped down, and snatched them up in his metal hands. He cackled. "Thank you, Rangers!"
"Hey!" Jason blurted out.
"You won't get away with this!" Zack exclaimed.
"Oh, but I already have! I took your Morphers and there's nothing you can do about it!"
"You're just as power-hungry as Megatron, Zedd!" Optimus Prime said and charged at his metal foe.
Zedd flew up and shot lightening from his staff. Optimus Prime held his sword up just in time for the lightning to hit. Thunder cracked as lightning zipped and spiraled about his sword. Zedd thrusted his staff forward as Optimus started to fall back.
"You're losing; I can see you struggle like a weakling. Surrender to me and I will spare you!"
"I will never surrender to evil!"
"Then prepare to be destroyed!" The lightening overpowered Optimus and before he knew it, he was flying backwards and crashing into an abandoned hot dog stand.
"OPTIMUS!" Trini shouted.
Zedd laughed. "Your metal friend was foolish to fight me!"
"You'll pay for that!" Zack exclaimed, clenching his fist.
"Oh, I'm so enjoying this!" Zedd swooped forward and tripped him over with his staff.
"ZACK!" Jason yelled and charged at Zedd.
"You're as foolish as your friends, Red Ranger!" Zedd swung his staff and knocked him down.
Still in his civilian form, Billy called out, "POWER LANCE!" and his weapon appeared in his hand. "Prepare to eat my Lance, Zedd!" With a "YAH", he leaped up and struck Zedd's armor with a clank. Zedd, unfazed by the attack, tripped him with his staff. Billy yelled out as he fell on the grass.
"We gotta regroup!" Trini exclaimed.
The Rangers scrambled to their feet as they rushed back.
"Leaving so soon, Rangers?" Zedd taunted.
"We'll be back to stop you!" Jason glared at Lord Zedd and he Billy, Zack, Trini used their communicators to teleport out, along with Optimus.
"Man, Zedd kicked our butts out there!" Zack exclaimed while Alpha scanned him with his health sensory device.
"Your vitals are all OK, Zack," Alpha said, putting the scanner down.
"Thanks, Alpha," Zack said as he hopped off from the edge of the control panel.
"Yeah, tell me about it," Jason replied. "He whooped us good alright."
"He's too powerful. What are we gonna do? How are we going to rescue Tommy, Kimberly, and Red Alert?" Trini asked.
"Without our Morphers," Jason added.
"I can't believe we retreated," Zack said.
"We had to. He took our Morphers. And he was too powerful for Optimus," Jason replied.
Zack nodded.
Trini noticed Optimums Prime was quiet, standing outside of the Control Room. "Optimus, what are you thinking?"
"The metal of Lord Zedd's armor looked similar to ours." Optimus said.
"How can you tell?"
"I can't quite put my finger on it, but it had a similar density to ours."
"You don't suppose Zedd formed with Decepticon technology?" Jason asked.
"I don't know, Jason, I don't know."
Trini opened her locker and grabbed her books. She closed her locker when she noticed someone coming in the school hallway out of the corner of her eye. She turned her head "Kimberly?" Trini blurted out as she walked over.
Kimberly wore a pink, plaid, short- sleeved blouse that was unbuttoned with a white undershirt coming up to her belly button. Her short jean shorts were torn-up at the knee.
"'Yes, it's me."
"What are you wearing?!"
"You like it? I bought it a while ago and thought I'd finally wear it."
"Uh, they look good," Trini replied then lowered her voice, "Where were you? We tried contacting you, but you never answered your communicator."
"Oh, I was sick and slept all day, but I feel much better now."
"I'm sorry to hear that. I'm glad you're OK though."
"Yeah." Kimberly dialed her locker combination.
"Have you seen Tommy?"
"Yeah, he called me this morning and said he was sick. He must've caught my cold." Kimberly said, playing with her hair. She then took her math book out of her locker.
"Oh, well I hope he gets better soon. Maybe I should call him later," Trini replied, opened her locker, and grabbed her books.
"No, he said he needs his sleep!" Kimberly insisted.
"OK, I'll let him rest."
"I'm sure he will be OK."
"Yeah," Trini said, switching her book to her other hand.
"We'll, I gotta go to class," Kimberly said.
"I'll walk with you," Trini said, shutting her locker.
Kimberly looked confused for a second then exclaimed, "Cool!" Oh, yeah! She's in class with me! she thought to herself.
"Great!" Trini exclaimed. Kimberly followed Trini in Ms. Appleby's classroom. Kimberly started heading to the back.
"Uh, Kim, where are you going?" Trini asked.
"To take my seat."
"That's not where you normally sit."
"Oh, yeah! Well, I thought I'd try something different for today." Kimberly set her backpack down on the floor by the desk.
"But Ms. Appleby prefers us up front."
"Well, she can live with it for today." Kimberly sat down.
Billy, Jason, Zack, and Trini looked at her.
"What?! It won't hurt anything," Kimberly said and Billy, Trini, and Jason took their usual seats near Zack.
Ms. Appleby walked in. "Good morning, I hope you all are ready for your test." A few students groaned. "I'll give you about fifteen minutes to review." She smiled and looked at the back of the class. "Kimberly, why are you sitting in the back?" she asked as the class turned to look at Kimberly.
"I just felt like it," Kimberly replied.
"Well, you always like to participate in our lessons… of course, we won't have a lesson today, but…"
"Fine." She scoffed and picked up her books and backpack, then went to the front.
"I don't like your attitude," Ms. Appleby said sternly, then added, "And, what on earth are you wearing?"
For a second, Kimberly's eyes were wide, like she was about to snap at her teacher. Then with a calm voice, she said, "I'm sorry I'm going through… a lot of stuff right now. I'll be cool now."
"I'm sorry. I hope everything works out for you. I appreciate you changing your behavior. Now, let's have a productive class!" She turned to the chalkboard but hesitated. "Where are Bulk and Skull? They haven't been to class, for a couple days."
"Maybe they're sick."
"Or maybe they're playing hooky."
"I see Tommy is missing also," Jason said.
Kimberly raised her hand. "He's sick; he called me this morning."
"Really? There must be some sort of virus going on," Ms. Appleby said.
"That must be it, a virus," Kimberly said.
"Well, I hope no one else gets sick. Let's start reviewing."
Kimberly rolled her eyes. "This is so dumb," she muttered.
Ms. Appleby wrote a few equations on the chalkboard and called on students to answer her questions.
"Now, what do we do after we subtract five from both sides?" Ms. Appleby asked.
Kimberly raised her hand.
"Yes, Kimberly?"
"Divide ten from both sides."
"Very Good, Kimberly! That's correct!"
"Of course, I got it right! What do you think I am?!" Kimberly murmured under her breath.
Ms. Appleby wrote the appropriate operation that Kimberly told her. "X equals…?"
Kimberly raised her hand.
"Kimberly?"
"X equals ten… plugging the answer back in, we get five times ten plus twenty-one equals thirty-six."
"Very good, Kimberly! Well, I think all of you are ready for your tests," Ms. Appleby said, clasping her hands. "Jason, could you help pass the tests out?"
"Yes, ma'am," he replied, got up, and went to the teacher's desk. Grabbing the stack of papers, he passed one to Kimberly. "Good luck."
"I don't need luck! I already know this useless stuff!"
"Kimberly…" Jason began with a solemn face but went to the next student.
Kimberly looked at her test and raised her hand.
"Yes, Kimberly?"
"These problems are far too easy; I could do them in my sleep! May I have a harder test?"
"No, please take the test I gave you."
"But..." She hesitated, biting her lip. "Fine!" she sighed and started answering the problems.
Kimberly was the second person to finish. She got up and handed her test to Mrs. Appleby. "I think you'll be surprised at how well I did."
"That's good. You may return to your seat now."
She did as she was told while Ms. Appleby started grading their tests.
The bell rang an hour later. "Time to pick up your test and leave!" Ms. Appleby said, picked the stack of papers up, and walked next to the door. Kimberly put her pencil and calculator away then gathered her backpack with the other students. She stood up and went to the door as Ms. Appleby gave her test back. She looked at it and smiled.
"Tomorrow I will not put up with any disruptions, so fix your attitude."
"OK, Ms. Appleby, I'll behave. I promise."
"Good, see you tomorrow!" She smiled.
Kimberly walked to her locker where Jason, Billy, Zack, and Trini stood.
"I aced it!" Kimberly exclaimed as the four of her friends gathered around.
"Awesome! I got a B,"' Jason replied.
"Well, we can't all be as good at math as I am."
"Whoa, Kimberly, what are you doing?" Zack asked.
"What?"
"You were kinda gloating," Trini said.
"No, I wasn't!"
"Yes, you said we can't be as good at math as you."
"Well, it's true, some people aren't as good as me. Now, let's go to the Juice Bar to celebrate!" Kimberly exclaimed.
Her friends looked at one another.
"Well, what are you waiting for?"
"Well…" Trini said.
"Well, what?"
"You've been acting weird," Jason said.
"What?!"
"You argued with Ms. Appleby over your seat and got mad when she insisted you move up to the front."
"Well, I have a right to sit wherever I want!"
"What's going on with you?"
"Nothing. Can we go to the Juice Bar now?"
"Uh, sure," Zack said, lacking confidence.
"Hey everyone, I aced my test!" Kimberly announced, smiling from ear to ear, walking in the Youth Center. They paid no attention to her as she and the other four Rangers sat down. Jason, Billy, Zack, and Trini were quiet.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"Why do you have to inform everyone about your latest accomplishment?" Billy asked.
"I aced my test. Everybody should be happy for me!"
"Isn't it enough that you're happy yourself?" Jason asked.
Ernie came over. "What's this about a test?"
"Oh, we took a math test today and Kimberly aced it," Trini replied, scowling.
"Nice, how about I make you five pineapple smoothies?"
"Sounds good," Jason replied.
Bulk and Skull walked in.
"Oh no, trouble," Jason said.
"Look, it's the dweeb patrol," Bulk said, looking at them.
"Yeah, the dweeb patrol," Skull repeated.
"You know, you might have more friends if you didn't taunt everyone," Jason said and added, "You two should stop skipping class."
"Aww, little baby Jason doesn't like my taunting. BOO HOO!" Bulk mocked.
"Oh, that's real mature, Bulk," Trini said.
"Whatever," he scoffed.
"Hey, come join us over here," Kimberly said.
"Huh?" Jason blurted out.
Bulk looked at her. "Is this a trick?"
"No, I really want you to hang with us."
Jason, Billy, Zack, and Trini looked at her.
"Alright, if you say so." Bulk shrugged and lumbered over. Skull followed. "I'm so honored we finally get to hang out with you dweebs."
Jason rolled his eyes.
"So, uh, what are you doing tonight?" Skull asked right above Kimberly. He was leaning against the support pole while smacking his chewing gum with his teeth.
"Nothing."
"Wanna catch a movie with me?"
Kimberly started to say something when, all of the sudden, the ground shook.
"EARTHQUAKE!" Ernie yelled. Everyone started panicking and running around the Youth Center.
Bulk stumbled around. His huge body bumped a table and tripped, knocking the pink smoothie onto his jacket.
Another huge impact occurred.
The Rangers fumbled into the hall.
Jason's communicator went off as he stumbled around. Still struggling to keep his balance, he squeezed the button.
"Rangers, this is Optimus Prime. Come meet me at the beach!"
"How did you…"
"I'll explain when you arrive." He interrupted Jason.
"Alright, we'll be right there."
Struggling to keep from falling, the five Rangers teleported out of the shaky hallway and landed near the ocean.
Optimus stood in the sand with four other robots. "Rangers, first of all, Zordon let me use your Morphin Grid to contact you. Second, I'd like you all to meet Ratchet, Jazz, Ironhide, and Grimlock. They're my teammates."
"Me Grimlock, pleasure to meet you," the gray Dinobot said.
"Great, more robots," Kimberly murmured.
"Thanks, you remind me of my Zord," Jason said, looking at Grimlock.
"Zord?" Grimlock repeated.
"I'll explain later."
"You three four, mechanical beings must've caused the abnormal, tremors," Billy said, putting his hands in his jean pocket.
"Yes, sorry about that," Jazz replied.
"It's OK," Zack said.
"What are your names?" Ironhide asked.
"I'm Jason."
"Zack."
"Billy."
"Trini."
"And I'm the one and only Kimberly! So, you're from Cybertron?" she asked, while Jason looked at the other Rangers in annoyance.
"Yes," Ratchet said.
"Cool entrance with the colorful light beams!" Jazz exclaimed. He was mostly white with a black and blue chest that resembled a police car hood.
"So, the Decepticons are here," Ironhide said.
"Yes, we fought Starscream; he was really tough," Jason said.
"No matter, we'll squish him and the other Decepticons," Ironhide replied.
"The Decepticons teamed up with an evil alien called Lord Zedd," Optimus Prime told them.
"Lord who?"
Jason briefly explained.
"That must be the alien that Optimus told us about in his message," Ratchet said.
"Yes, we've had many battles with his monsters," Trini replied.
"We're willing to help whenever we can," Jason said.
"We appreciate your offer," Ratchet said.
"And one of our friends is missing," Kimberly added.
"You told me Tommy was sick," Trini replied.
"Wait, I did?"
"Yes."
"Oh, I misspoke."
"Well, which is it? Is he sick or missing?" Jason asked.
"Um…"
"Kimberly?" Trini said.
"Why don't I contact Tommy now?" Jason replied and raised his communicator to his face. Her heart began to pound in her chest. "Tommy, this is Jason, can you hear me?" No answer. "Tommy, can you hear me?"
Nothing.
"We'd better teleport to the Command Center," Billy said.
Then, as if by impulse, Kimberly kicked Jason's arm.
"Hey! Kimberly?!"
"You will surrender your powers to the mighty Lord Zedd," she declared, her eyes flashed pink.
Jason stared at her in disbelief. "Kimberly, what are you doing?!"
Once again, pink flashed in Kimberly's eyes as she smirked. She pulled her Morpher out. "It's Morphin time!" she said in a calm voice as she held her Morpher outward. She morphed into her pink suit. Time for your destruction!" She charged at them and punched Jason.
"You don't wanna fight us!" Jason said.
"Stop! We are your friends!" Trini exclaimed. Kimberly jumped and kicked her down.
"I don't need friends! Lord Zedd is the only one for me!"
"What's going on?" Ratchet asked.
"Optimus, you told us these humans were good," Jazz added.
"They are. I don't know what's wrong with Kimberly," Optimus said.
Jason leaped up and grabbed her arm. "Kimberly, please listen!"
"Power bow," Kimberly said with her calm voiced and her bow appeared in her hands.
"Kimberly, listen!" Jason said as she aimed her bow and arrow at him. "Zedd's controlling you. Fight it!"
"No! I must destroy you to fulfill his request!"
"Kimberly, please!" Trini said.
"You don't need to do this!" Zack said.
"Don't listen to Zedd!" Billy said.
"Don't tell me what to do!" Kimberly exclaimed. She let go and the arrow soared and hit Trini. She collapsed on the sand.
"TRINI!" Billy yelled and ran over to her. He glanced at the sand and saw the arrow beside her. He breathed a long sigh of relief. "You weren't hit! Thank goodness!"
"Guys, she's too strong. Let's morph!" Jason exclaimed and the others gathered beside him.
"Finally!" Kimberly exclaimed. "I was starting to think you guys were cowards."
Jason reached behind his back with the others. "IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" he yelled as the other Rangers pulled their Morphers out with him.
"MASTADON!"
"TRICERATOPS!"
"SABERTOOTH TIGER!"
"TYRANNOSAURUS!" Jason yelled as they morphed into Power Rangers.
Kimberly snickered. "Alright! You morphed! More fun for me!" She jumped and punched Billy.
"Kimberly, stop! Listen to us!" Zack pleaded, grabbing her arm.
"You will bow down to my master soon or be destroyed!" she exclaimed, pulled his arm away, and kicked him. He stumbled back.
"Kimberly, we're your friends! Don't do this!" Trini exclaimed, and Kimberly threw a punch at her, but Trini blocked it.
"Kimberly, STOP!" Optimus Prime said and the big robot came thudding towards her.
"Fine, since you're with the Rangers, I'll just destroy you too!" she said, flipping Trini over. She pulled her Blade Blaster out and fired at Optimus.
"Leave leader alone!" Grimlock stampeded to her. He grabbed for her but she jumped high in the air, shooting at him. "STOP IT!" His voice boomed. "You not very nice!" Grimlock said.
"And you not very smart!" Kimberly exclaimed.
Optimus dodged her shots while running towards her.
Ratchet and Ironhide charged at the battle, passing Optimus.
"Think fast!" Kimberly shot at them and they veered out of the way.
"Young missy, let's stop and talk about this," Ironhide said, holding his hands up.
"No way, I'd rather kick your metal butt!" Kimberly jumped and kicked him.
"That's it, Grimlock no stand watching friends get hurt anymore!" Grimlock said. "Grimlock, transform!" He transformed into Robot Mode and a gun appeared in his hand.
"NO, GRIMLOCK, STAND DOWN!" Optimus yelled.
"But, pretty human in pink trying to hurt friends."
"We don't want to hurt her."
Grimlock looked like he was trying to concentrate.
"We do not hurt humans."
"OK, but what can me do?"
Kimberly slugged Zack hard.
"Try to grab Kimberly," Optimus replied.
"Okie dokie. Me try," Grimlock said and charged at her.
"Zedd is using, you!" Billy said as Kimberly punched Trini.
"Hey, pretty human, STOP!" Grimlock yelled.
"Go back to the Stone Age, bird for brains!" Kimberly said, then leaped and shot an arrow at him. It flew fast through the air and hit him in the chest. The Dinobot yelled and staggered back.
"You hurt Grimlock! Grimlock mad!" He grabbed for her, but she jumped away.
"Alright…I have no choice," Jason said. He leaped and struck Kimberly with his sword. She shouted and fell. "I'm sorry, Kim."
She struggled back up. "I'll be back to defeat you Rangers," she said and pushed her Morpher and pink flames engulfed her as she flew out.
Jason leapt forward and hesitated. "Man, she got away!"
"We'd better head back to the Command Center," Billy said.
"Where?" Ratchet asked.
As the group returned to the Command Center, there was a dark silence among them. No one knew what to say about their current situation and hoped they would be able to figure it out.
"Man, this keeps getting worst," Zack finally spoke up. "Goldar and Zedd have new powers; they teamed up with evil robots. Tommy is missing… now, Kimberly is under Zedd's spell? What are we going to do?"
"I'm still trying to locate Tommy but I cannot get a lock on him," Zordon said.
"Do you think he's in Zedd's palace?" Billy asked.
"That's what I suspect but I cannot trace the location. It is as though the palace disappeared."
"There has to be something we can do," Jason said.
"We know it's on the moon, right?" Trini asked.
"Correct," Zordon replied.
"Can't Alpha teleport us there?"
"You need to stay on Earth in case there's an attack," Zordon said.
"What if I go?" Zack suggested, stepping up.
"You can't go alone, it's too dangerous," Trini said.
"Tommy sacrificed his Green Ranger powers for us. I'm willing to take that risk."
Jason laid a hand on his shoulder. "Zedd put Kimberly under a spell. He might try to do the same to you next. You sure you want to do this?"
"Yes."
"Alright. Contact us if it gets too hairy."
"I will."
"Be careful, you know Lord Zedd will do anything to stop you," Trini said.
"I will. I will find Tommy and Red Alert and bring them back. Hopefully, I can get through to Kimberly."
"I still cannot detect Zedd's palace," Zordon said.
"But you detected Starscream on the moon," Jason said.
"Correct, but it seems like his palace disappeared."
"Maybe Zedd used a cloaking device," Billy suggested.
"That could be a possibility," Zordon said.
"I could tune into higher frequencies to make it stronger so it can detect Tommy's and Kimberly's power signatures," Alpha said, walking to the control panel. He began turning dials.
"I just have to increase the trans-modulator…" He turned the dial and…
POP! A cluster of Sparks flew out, from the panel.
Alpha jumped back. "Ay yi yi!"
"What happened?" Trini asked as smoke floated up from the panel.
Billy stepped up to the control panel and waved the smoke away. He unscrewed and removed the panel and examined the wires and circuits. "It appears the trans-modulator blew a fuse… I can fix it, but it will take some time."
"How long?" Jason asked, walking up to him.
"I'm not sure. It could take a couple of hours, judging the severity of the damage."
"Alright."
Billy went straight to work, moving wires and unplugging some of them. Jason, Zack, and Trini paced back and forth while Billy worked.
A short time later, Billy came up from his tedious work and said, "That's it. I got the trans-modulator up and running once again," then proceeded to put the cover back in place.
"Thanks, Billy," Jason said as Alpha returned to the control panel. He punched buttons and turned dials.
"Almost there…" Alpha said. "I just have to adjust the frequency a little more…"
He turned one more dial. "I did it! I broke through the barrier! I'm locking the coordinates now!" Alpha said and punched the appropriate buttons.
"You rock, Alpha!" Trini said.
"It's done. I located Zedd's palace!"
"Alright! Give me five!" Zack held his hand up and Alpha slapped it.
"Zack, your bravery and kindness makes you strong," Zordon said as Zack looked up at him. "You have fought courageously in many battles. You lighten people up with your humor. You are a great asset to the team. Now, come forward and let me restore your powers."
"Are you sure, Zordon? I don't want to cause major drainage of your powers."
"Yes, it won't make me fluctuate between dimensions."
"…Alright," Zack said and stepped up.
"Take your communicator off and hold it up high."
Zack did as he was told.
White light shot out from Zordon's energy tube and flowed thorough Zack's communicator watch.
With one big ZAP, Zack morphed into the black Ranger. "Cool, thank you, Zordon!"
"You're welcome. Are you ready to infiltrate Zedd's palace?"
"Yes, I'll do whatever I have to bring Tommy and Kimberly back," Zack said and looked at the others.
"Then, good luck and may the power protect you."
"Thank you, Zordon."
"Meanwhile I will facilitate Zordon and Alpha in regard to a possible antidote for Kimberly," Billy said.
"We will teleport it when it's done," Alpha said.
"Cool, hopefully, I can break the spell before that," Zack said.
"What if I go too?" Ratchet asked.
"I'd prefer it if you stayed in case Zedd or Megatron attacks Earth," Optimus replied.
"But, going alone is too dangerous. You need backup."
"Fine," Zack replied.
""Then it's settled. Alpha, teleport Zack and Ratchet to Zedd's palace."
"Right away, Zordon," Alpha said and punched in the appropriate coordinates. Zack and Ratchet became black and gray light waves, then flew off.
"Oh," Alpha whined. "I hope they know what they're doing."
Zack and Ratchet teleported in Zedd's throne room. He looked around and spotted Tommy behind the bars. "Tommy!" Zack exclaimed and ran to him.
"Zack!" Tommy exclaimed, looking up. "Oh, man, I'm so glad to see you both!"
"You too, bro, are you OK?" Zack asked.
"Yeah. Zedd has my Morpher and my communicator."
"He stole our Morphers too, but Zordon lent some of his energy to me so I could morph." He paused to gather his thoughts, "I have bad news. Kimberly's under Zedd's spell."
"Yeah… I know. I watched him turn her under his power with his staff trapped in this cage."
"Man, that's cold! Don't worry, Billy and Alpha are making an antidote to break Zedd's spell."
"Good."
"Now, let's get you out of here!"
"I saw something on the ceiling." Tommy pointed.
Zack looked up and saw a device mounted on the corner of the ceiling. "That must be the generator for these bars!" He pointed to it and Ratchet nodded. "I'll handle this! Ratchet, watch the pro; you might learn something!" He took his Blade Blaster out and shot the generator.
It fizzled out and the bars disappeared around Tommy.
"Thanks!"
"No problem, glad to have you back," Zack replied, put his blaster away, and patted Tommy's back.
"You too, now let's go find Kimberly and Red Alert!" He took a step when something struck Zack's neck.
"Hey, something hit my neck! I feel weird!" Zack said and took a few more steps towards Tommy, stopped, and collapsed on the floor.
"Zack!" Tommy exclaimed, bending down to help him. "Zack! Zack!" He held his head. What am I going to do? he thought.
"What happened?" Ratchet asked.
"I don't know. I don't like this!"
Kimberly ran out. "Tommy!"
Letting go of Zack, Tommy hopped up positioning himself into a fighting stance.
Ratchet's gun appeared in his hand.
"Whoa! It's OK, I'm back to my normal self."
"Is it really you?" Tommy asked.
"Yes, the spell must've worn off."
'"Good, 'cause we have enough trouble as it is."
"Yeah. Now, let's help Zack and get out of here."
Tommy turned to Zack. "Man, what happened?" He examined Zack's neck as Kimberly reached her hands out as if preparing to grab him. "Should we teleport him back to the Command Center?"
"Tommy, look out!" Ratchet exclaimed.
Tommy spun around. He gasped. "Kimberly, what are you doing?!"
"I must carry out my master's orders," she droned.
Tommy gasped as Kimberly's eyes flashed pink. "You're still under Zedd's control."
A sneer spread across her face. "Guess you're not as dumb as I thought."
"What have you done to Zack?!" Ratchet demanded.
"That wasn't me," she said, her eyes staring behind Tommy. Tommy looked back and saw Finster running off.
"HEY!" Tommy shouted as the white dog monster disappeared around the corner.
"It doesn't matter; you're alone… and I'm going to destroy you!" Pink flashed in her eyes.
"Don't do this, Kim."
"I must follow my master's orders."
"He is controlling you, you gotta snap out of it!"
"No, you're my enemy! Prepare to lose, Tommy!" She pulled her Morpher out. "IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" She morphed.
Tommy looked at Zack. Wake up, Zack. This is a bad time! he thought.
"You will bow down to Lord Zedd!" Kimberly charged at Tommy and threw a punch at him. Tommy held his fists out to block Kimberly's attacks.
"Fight his spell, Kim. I know you're still in there!" Tommy said.
"NEVER!" Kimberly kicked his chest, causing him to back away.
"Kimberly, please!" Tommy exclaimed, holding his chest.
"I won't stop until you're destroyed!" she said and smoothly uttered, "Power bow!" It emerged in her hand. "You're going down, White Ranger!" She plucked an arrow through her bow, pulled it back, and aimed it at him.
Tommy only looked at his girlfriend as she prepared to shoot. "Kimberly, don't shoot. It's me, Tommy, I'm your friend, don't you remember?"
"No, stop trying to trick me!"
"Maybe this will help," he said and walked to her.
"What are you doing?" she demanded, but to her surprise, she lowered her bow.
Tommy grabbed the clips of her helmet and snapped them back. He gently pulled and lifted her helmet up.
"Stop, White Ranger!" Kimberly exclaimed, but Tommy ignored her plea. He leaned forward, looked into her eyes, and kissed her. Her eyes flashed pink as light the same color left her body. Then they returned to their normal brown. "Tommy?"
"Yes, it's me, Beautiful!"
Kimberly looked around. "Why are we in Zedd's palace?"
"You were under Zedd's spell," Tommy replied.
"I was?"
"Yeah, he made you fight us. I thought I lost you forever."
"Oh, Tommy, you could never lose me!"
"Yeah, you're right. Guess we didn't need the antidote after all!"
"What?"
"It's not important. It's good to have you back!"
"Thanks; it's good to be back!"
"Yeah." Tommy smiled. Then pensive chiseled lines creased his face. "We'd better wake Zack up." Tommy took a couple steps forward. "Zack, wake up." Tommy shook his shoulders and he moved. "Zack!"
Zack opened his eyes. "What happened?" he asked and looked at Kimberly and scooted back quickly.
"Whoa! It's me!" Kimberly said.
"Yes. Zedd's spell has been broken. She's back to her old self," Tommy said.
"Are you sure?" Zack asked. "She tricked the other guys and me."
"Yes. I'm back, and I'm really sorry for what I've done," Kimberly replied.
"Alright, I believe you," Zack said and stood up. He looked at Kimberly. "Welcome back, Kim."
"Thanks, it's good to be back to my old self!"
"Come on, let's go find Red Alert!" Ratchet exclaimed.
"You're not going anywhere, Rangers," Goldar's gravelly voice made them jump. The three Rangers looked and saw him standing in the entrance holding his sword. Putties surrounded him with Skywarp standing by his side
"Kimberly, go find Red Alert. Zack, Ratchet and I will hold these jokers back," Tommy said, holding his fists out.
Are you sure?
"Yes, we'll be fine. Go!" Tommy said. He, Ratchet, and Zack charged at their enemies. Zack and Ratchet kicked Skywarp while Goldar slung, his sword at Tommy.
"I'll hurry back," Kimberly said. She put her helmet back on and rushed out of the Throne Room and behind the hall. As she ran to the first room, something caught her eye. She stepped in and saw Red Alert laying on a table. "Red Alert" Kimberly exclaimed and ran over to him. Wires were attached to him all over. "Oh no, they're draining his energy!" she gasped. "I'll get you out of here." She detached the wires one by one. "Red Alert?" She nudged his shoulders. "Red Alert, can you hear me? Wake up."
Red Alert opened his eyes. "Kimberly?"
"Yes, it's me. I'm getting you out of here."
"Where are, we?"
"Zedd's palace, no time to explain. Tommy and Zack are fighting Zedd and Megaton's creeps; they need our help. Come on "Red Alert followed Kimberly out of the room. They turned and rushed in the throne room .
Tommy was still fighting in his civilian form. Goldar and a bunch of Putties kicked and punched him. He leaped back. "You putties sure are decisive. I wish I had Saba with me. But it takes extra power to summon him, so I need to morph first."
"What about me?" Skywarp challenged and jumped in front of him.
"Whoa!" Tommy exclaimed and backed up.
Skywarp laughed. "You're mine now, puny human!" He aimed his gun directly at Tommy's chest. Tommy could feel his last heartbeat.
"Any last words?" As Skywarp began to squeeze the trigger something blasted him, knocking his gun out of his hand. Skywarp looked and saw Zack holding his Blade Blaster.
"That's right, the Zach-man's got you!"
"You meddlesome human!" Skywarp growled
"I'll get him!" Goldar exclaimed
"Hey forgot about me?" Tommy said and swiftly moved his leg to knock the big Decepticon down. "When will you bad guys ever learn?" Tommy rushed over to join Zack and Ratchet, bringing Goldar with him.
Kimberly sprang in the air, whipping her fist out as she aimed for a Putty. She came down and punched it in its Z plate. It exploded into pieces and disappeared. Tommy looked. "Great, you found Red Alert!"
"I'll help!" Red Alert dashed into battle. One of the Putties jumped and kicked Red Alert. CLANG! The Putty's foot came into contact with Red Alert's leg; clay against metal. The Putty clutched its foot and hopped on the other.
"Great job, Red!" Ratchet said.
"Thanks, Ratchet…"
"You're Welcome."
"You clay monsters aren't very smart, are you?" Red Alert turned to ask the Putty and punched it down like a domino. He chuckled. "Guess you clay-brains are making me braver."
Kimberly kicked and punched the Putties. She hit one in its Z plate and it blew up into pieces. They vanished and Skywarp went for her.
"Kimberly, watch out!" Red Alert exclaimed. Skywarp was pointing his gun at her. Kimberly looked as Red Alert extended his arm out. His gun materialized and he shot Skywarp,
"Thanks, Red Alert!" Kimberly called out.
"POWER AX!" Zack shouted,. His weapon appeared in, his hand. He started whacking Putties down along with Tommy. "Man, how many of these clay-heads are there?"
"I don't know, but we'll keep punching them down!"
"I'm gonna get you, White Ranger!" Goldar said, jumped, and landed right in front of Tommy.
"Tommy!" Zack exclaimed and a Putty kicked him down. Goldar struck his sword at Tommy. Tommy jumped back. Goldar slung his sward again and Tommy leaped. "Hold still!"
"Not gonna happen," Tommy replied and delivered a punch to Goldar's gut.
Goldar backed away. "I shall destroy you for that!" He shot lasers from his eyes. Tommy yelled and jumped, "Give up, White Ranger!" Goldar struck his sword at him.
Tommy jumped high in the air. He twisted his body and kicked Goldar in his side.
Goldar stumbled back, groaning "You won't win, Whiten Ranger."
"Why don't you go get Zedd?" Tommy asked then graded, "For that matter, where is she?"
"He's taking a well-deserved rest in his chamber,
"So he's sleeping while we kick you guys' butts?"
"None of your business!" Goldar exclaimed and slashed his sword once again at Tommy. Kimberly kicked a Putty down. It wiggled around on the foggy floor. Reaching down into the fog, she punched it directly in the Z plate. The Putty flew apart and disappeared. Another Putty jumped at her she kicked and punched it in the chest, making the gray clay monster stumble back. The Putty whipped its foot out, knocking her over.
"Kimberly!" Zack called out. He struck the Putty that was attacking him, and ran over to her. He kicked another Putty. "Looks like you need some help." He helped her up.
"Thanks, Zack," she replied and shot one with her bow and arrow.
Starscream and Goldar punched and kicked Tommy on each side. Goldar slung his sword. Tommy jumped to the side just before it came down.
"That was close," Tommy said.
"Why don't you surrender and we'll spare your life?" Starscream suggested, grinning menacingly.
"You wish," Tommy replied.
All at once, Starscream, Goldar, and a dozen more Putties seemed to gang up on the three Rangers.
Zack, Kimberly, Tommy, and Red Alert backed up against the wall.
"'There's too many of them!" Kimberly exclaimed.
"Let's get out of here!" Tommy said, holding his fists up.
"Don't have to tell me twice," Zack replied. He grabbed his waist belt and pushed the button on his Morpher. Tommy, Zack, Kimberly, Red Alert, and Ratchet teleported to the Command Center.
Black, pink, and white light-waves flew in the Command Center and landed in the Control Room. A gray light-wave landed outside of the room and morphed into Red Alert.
"You're back!" Ironhide said, standing next to Red Alert.
"Thank the Spark you're OK!" Jazz exclaimed.
"You all are here?" Red Alert said.
"Yep, Optimus sent a distress message to Cybertron," Ironhide replied.
"Good thing he did. We have to get that Spark back from Lord Zedd," Red Alert said.
"Yes, before he does something catastrophic," Billy said
"Zordon— everyone, I'm sorry if I hurt any of you," Kimberly apologized.
"Hey, you were you under Zedd's spell; you couldn't help it," Jason replied.
"Yeah, don't beat yourself up over it," Trini said, putting a hand on Kimberly's shoulder.
"Your friends are correct. Zedd had full control over you. His spell was too powerful."
"Thanks Zordon and everyone! You all mean the world to me, including you Autobots!"
"We both share important attributes: kindness, loyalty, friendship..." Optimus Prime said. "All of which have the ability to end ALL wars."
"Yeah, you said it, big man!" Zack said.
So, are you okay, now?" Trini asked.
"Yes. I'm lucky to have you guys," Kimberly said and Trini squeezed her shoulder.
The alarm sounded. Everyone turned around saw Zedd.
"Aye yai yai, Zedd is back!" Alpha exclaimed. The Rangers noticed he was holding something.
"Hey, that's my morpher!" Tommy pointed.
"I have something that belongs to you, Tommy!" Lord Zedd exclaimed through the image of the Viewing Globe, although he could not see or hear Tommy. He waved the Morpher in his crimson hand.
"My Morpher!"
"Aye yai yai yai yai yai!" Alpha exclaimed, clenching his head. "And he has Jason, Billy, Zack, and Trini's Morphers too! OH! I don't like this at all!"
"We'll get them back and then we will beat him!" Jason said.
"Rangers, you'll always have each other," Zordon said as the Rangers turned back around to face him. "This is what makes you powerful; more than Lord Zedd can even imagine. Be careful Rangers and Autobots. And as always, may The Power protect you."
"You guys ready for this?" Jason asked.
"You bet! Zedd has had it coming for a long time!" Zack exclaimed.
"Yeah, let's kick his butt!" Tommy joined in.
"We'll show Lord Zedd who's boss," Optimus said.
"Alright then, let's do this!" Jason exclaimed and the Rangers teleported the Autobots to the quarry with them.
"I see the whole party is here, including the pathetic Autobots!" Zedd said, standing in the center of the quarry with his huge metallic wings. He held his staff upright.
"Yes, we outnumber you twelve to one," Tommy said, in-between Jason and Optimus Prime.
He laughed. "You think I'm worried about six Rangers and six Autobots?" He chuckled. "You haven't seen my full power yet!"
"It doesn't matter how powerful you are. We will stop you!" Jason exclaimed.
"How can you win without your precious Morphers?"
"I still have mine," Kimberly said and pulled the Morpher out. "IT'S MORPHIN TIME!... PTERASDADCTYL!" She morphed.
"I see you broke my spell, pink Ranger. Maybe I should've just taken your Morpher and thrown you in my prison with your precious boyfriend," Zedd said and pointed at Tommy with his staff.
"Yeah, right, Zedd!" Tommy replied.
"No matter, one morphed Ranger is no match for me!"
"You're gonna pay for turning me into your servant!" Kimberly said, fists clenched.
"We'll see. I might capture you again and drain your energy."
"In your dreams!" she said. "YAH!" She leaped in the air and kicked Zedd in the chest.
He stumbled back a bit. "You wanna play, pink Ranger?" Zedd asked, clenching his staff sideways. "Let's play." He pointed his staff at her and red lightening shout out.
Kimberly rolled out of the way. "That was way too close!" She grabbed her power blaster and shot at him.
Zedd laughed. "Your puny blast has no effect on me!"
"You must be stopped!" Optimus Prime charged at Zedd.
"You wanna play too, robot?" Zedd pointed his staff at him and red lightening lashed out. Optimus ran on the rocky gravel and transformed into his truck mode. BAM! The twenty-eight thousand pound truck hit Zedd, sending him flying. The Rangers' Morphers flew in the air.
"OUR MOTRPHERS!" Trini yelled.
"Let's get them!" Jason exclaimed. So, Jason, Billy, Zack, Trini, and Tommy ran across the quarry with Kimberly still morphed.
"There they are!" Billy pointed.
"No, you don't!" Zedd exclaimed. The Rangers looked as he flew in the air. He directed his staff at them. Red lightening blammed out. The Rangers jumped out of the way as the lightening zapped the ground behind, causing a huge fireball.
They ran to the edge of the quarry as Zedd shot another bolt of lightening from his staff. "Hold still and accept your defeat!" Lord Zedd exclaimed. The Rangers and Autobots continued running.
"Almost there…" Jason said, a couple yards away from his Morpher. ZAP! Another bolt of lightning struck, basting rock and dirt behind. The Rangers jumped and rolled and grabbed their Morphers.
"NO!" Zedd yelled and thrust his staff out. Red lightening zapped out before they could jump away, Ironhide jumped in between the ruckus and the lightening surged through his metallic body.
"IRONIDE!" Tommy yelled.
"I'm OK, it takes a lot to keep this Autobot down!"
"I WILL DESTROY ALL OF YOU!" Zedd yelled.
"Don't worry, me get him!" Grimlock said and charged at Zedd.
"Ooh, the big, bad dinosaur is coming to get me," Zedd said. "Whatever should I do? I know…" He took off in the air, heading towards Grimlock.
"GRIMLLOCK, SWERVE!" Optimus Prime and Ironhide yelled but it was too late… Zedd's staff connected with Grimlock's back, shocking him. He roared and fell over.
"Ha, ha, ha! Your big, bad Dinobot is as worthless as Rita when I sent her hurling in space! I shall destroy him, NOW!" Zedd exclaimed, switching holds staff to his other hand.
Optimus' gun appeared in his hand and he shot Zedd. He ran to Grimlock. "Grimlock, are you OK?"
"Yes, me fine." Grimlock stood up.
"Let's show him what we're made of!" Jason said. "IT'S MORPHIN TIME!"
"MASTADON!"
"TRICERATOPS!"
"SABERTOOTH TIGER!"
"TYRANNOSAURUS!"
Jason, Billy, Zack, Tommy, Trini, and Kimberly stood alongside with Optimus Prime, Grimlock, Ironhide, Red Alert, Ratchet, and Jazz. Fireballs erupted behind.
"It, does not matter that you morphed into your colorful suits, I will still destroy every one of you!" Zedd hit his staff down and a shock wave rippled through the Rangers and the Autobots. They yelled as sparks burst through them. Zedd cackled, "This is too easy!"
Tommy leaped high in the air "Hi-YA!" He punched his chest causing metal to clank.
"Oh, Tommy! You're always a thorn in my foot!" Zedd whacked Tommy down. "Face it, you're useless without your powers!"
Billy leaped and shot Zedd with his Blade Blaster.
Red Alert and Ratchet punched Zedd. Zedd whirled his staff and tripped both Autobots. "Did you enjoy your trips?"
"Hi-YA!" Trini leaped in the air. She came down and hit Zedd with her Power Dagger.
"Is that all you've got, Trini?" Zedd asked and hit her.
"No," she replied and started kicking and punching him. "YAH YAH YAH YAH!"
Nice try, Yellow Ranger… It's my turn, NOW!"He said and simutanasly shot lasers from his visor while zapping lightening from staff, hitting Trini.
She yelled. Sparks flew from her as she fell.
"TRINI!" Ironhide yelled as he ran to her. "Are you OK?"
"Yeah."
Ironhide held out his hand and she grabbed it.
"Thanks," she said as he helped her up.
Ironhide looked at their enemy,. "Now, let's get that metal Zedd guy!"
trini jumoped and struc Zedd with hr Poer SDaggers.
"Trini, get back!"
Trini complied with Ironhuide's order and he shot Zedd in the chest.
"Patethicc! I laugh at yoyur weak atten,mptss tio beat me!" Zedd exclaimed. "Ha-ha!" He punched both Ironhiden sabnd Tini down.
"How about us?" Tommy sauid. Zedd looked as Tommy, Jason, and Optimus Prime shot him. Tommy had Saba in his hand.
Zedd kla5ughed. "Yiou are SO weak!" Once again, he shot lasers out from his visor, hitting all twelve opponents. Spaerks eryupted from thefm as ythey shioutefd oyt.
"We must not gicve up," Optimus Prime said, strugglihng.
"But, he'as way ttoo strong!" Red Alrt replied
"Come on, we just have tio find his weakness!" Tommy said. His white shirt was ripped up and soot covered his face?
"That's it!" Zack exclaimed, getting up. He charged at Zedd. "POWER AX!" he shouted and his weapon appeared in his hand. He leaped and struck Zedd.
"NO!" Zedd yelled as the Morpher flew out of his hand.
Zack rolled and grabbed it. "Tommy, catch!" He tossed it.
Tommy jumped and grabbed his Morpher. "Thanks, guys!" He then held his Morpher in front of him and yelled, "IT'S MORPHIN TIME!... WHITE TIGER!" He morphed into the white Power Ranger.
"The battle has just begun, Rangers! Prepare for your demise!" Zedd held his hand out and a bomb appeared. He dropped it right by his feet. BOOM! It exploded into a massive fireball and he laughed as he started growing. The Rangers and Autobots gasped and stepped back. Zedd grew and grew. When he was a hundred stories tall, he uttered a thunderous laugh, triggering an earthquake "How do you like me, now, Rangers?" His voice boomed as he flexed his massive metal arms the size of trains.
"We're in trouble now!" Rred Alert said.
"You got that right, Red," Ironhide replied.
"I think I'll crush some Rangers now; I won't forget about you Autobots!" Zedd declared. He lifted his, giant foot up over the Rangers and Autobots and started lowering it. "MOVE!" Tommy yelled and the Rangers and the Autobots rolled out of then way just before his foot came down. THUD! The ground shook, causing everyone to fall down. Lord Zedd laughed.
After struggling back up, Jason raised his arm to the sky and shouted, "WE NEED THUNDERZORD POWER NOW!"
"Mastodon-Lion Thunderzord power!" Zack yelled. His mastodon Zord came trotting through the ice. It trumpeted before changing into a lion.
"Pterodactyl-Fire-bird Thunderzord power!" Kimberly shouted and her Pterodactyl Zord screeched before instantly transforming into hr Fire-bird Zord.
"Triceratops-Unicorn Thunderzord power!"
"Saber-tooth tiger-Griffin Thunderzord power!"
"Tyrannosaurus-Red Dragon Thunderzord power!"
All of the Dinozords transformed into Thunderzords as each Ranger summoned them.
The dragon flew in the black sky as thunder erupted.
As the Red Dragon began transforming, each claw came together to form the arms. Its neck moved by the tail to form the legs. the dragon head moved to its new location then flipped down to reveal the Red Dragon Megazord's head, which was a humanoid face. The Megazord posed to signal the other Zords, the Unicorn, Griffin, Lion, and Fire-bird transformed into body armor.
The Red Dragon Megazord came down and locked into the legs. The Fire-bird Zord folded its wings to wrap around the waist and the lion chest piece and shoulder armor locked in.
"TIGERZORD, POWER UP!" Tommy yelled, raising his hand in the air while holding Saba in the other.
The giant white tiger came running across the gravel, sending dirt flying.
Tommy leaped up and jumped onto the Tigerzord's cockpit and said, "Tigerzord, convert to Warrior Mode NOW!" He stuck Saba into the holder.
Mechanic whirling occurred as its front paws flipped back, revealing hands. Its hips popped out and stretched out into powerful legs. The tiger head-flipped down to its chest and the Megazord head popped up on top.
All this happened within seconds!
"Now, let's get Zedd!" Tommy exclaimed and both Megazord walked toward him. The Rangers made the Thunder Megazord punch the armored Zedd but he didn't even flinch.
Zedd laughed. "Nice try, Rangers. Now, it's my turn!" He pointed his staff at the Thunder Megazord and zapped it with lightening. The five Rangers yelled inside the Thunder Megazord cockpit.
"Hold on, guys." In the Tiger Megazord cockpit, Tommy punched, making his Megazord punch Zedd.
"HI-YA!" Tommy kicked, and the Megazord kicked Zedd as his metal chest clanked.
Zedd laughed. "I don't known why I didn't enlarge myself before! This is fun!" Zedd punched the White Tiger Megazord.
"THUBNDERSABER, NOW!" Jason, Billy, Zack, Trini, and Kimberly shouted together and the Thunder Megazord unleashed then Thunder-saber from its holster and held it up.
As it prepared to strike, its eyes flashed yellow.
"Alright, Thunder-saber engaged!" Jason yelled and the Megazord slung its sword, glowing yellow with lightening, striking Zedd in his Z chest plate.
Zedd stood, perfectly unharmed. He laughed. "Is that all you got, Rangers?"
The Rangers gasped.
"Man, not a scratch on him!" Zack exclaimed.
"He's too tough!" Trini said.
"Come on, Rangers, we can beat him!" Jason said.
Touching his visor, Zedd emitted a beam and zapped the Thunder Megazord, making the samurai-like robot stagger. In the cockpit, a stream of sparks poured out as the Rangers shouted.
"WHITE TIGER THUNDRBOLT, ARMED AND READY!" Tommy exclaimed as he dropped a red orb into the chute. His Megazord put its arms halfway up by its tiger chest and spread them out. A red ball of energy shot of the tiger's mouth and flew at Zedd.
"Batter up!" Zedd raised his staff like a baseball bat. It zoomed to him, and he hit the orb back to the Tiger Megazord. Sparks flew from the impact.
"You miserable attempts to defeat me are laughable! I'll just have to finish you off!" Zedd shot another beam from his visor, hitting Tommy's Megazord. Tommy yelled as he was shaken inside the cockpit, white lights flew from sparks. "How does it feel to lose, Rangers?" Zedd stuck his staff out and red lightning struck the Thunder Megazord.
The Rangers yelled as more sparks arose from the controls.
More lightening shot from Zedd's staff, electrocuting the Megazord.
"Damage is at forty percent," Zack warned.
"I'll revert more power to the Alpha said and punchd the Ziord Engine buttons.
"Thanks, Alpha, " Zack replired. "We hacve more power now!"
Then, sparks flew
The Rangers yelled.
"Whats happening?!" Kimberly asked.
"I don't know!" Billy replied. "Alpha must've overridden the systems!"
Zedd laughed. "YES, YOUR THUNDER MEGAZORD IS GOING DOWN!" He drew a huge, red Z in the air. "Say goodbye, Rangers!" It hurled to the Megazord.
Sparks flew everywhere.
"It's no use! Everybody out!" Jason exclaimed. One by one, Billy, Zack, Trini, Jason, and Kimberly all fell out of the Thunder Megazord. Tommy jumped out of his Tiger Megazord, yelling with the others.
They landed on the ground on their backs and demorphed. When they stood up, they looked up as the Thunder Megazord split back into their individual Zords.
To their surprise, the Red Dragon Zord turned back into his T-Rex Zord.
"'Huh?" Jason blurted out.
Billy's Unicorn Zord and Zack's Lion Zord reverted back to Triceratops and Mastodon.
"Whats going on?" Zack asked.
The Griffin and Fire-bird Zord became the saber-toothed tiger and pterodactyl Zord.
"Our Thunder Zord turned back into Dinozords!" Trini exclaimed.
"I have to help them, but how?" Optimus said.
"Optimus Prime, this is Zordon, can you hear me?"
"Zordon?" Optimus said.
"I detected a very powerful energy coming from within you when you were in the Command Center. You have the ability to form with the Dinozords."
"What?" Optimus said.
"What is it?" Tommy asked.
Zordon just told me I can combine with your Zords."
"What?"
"Rangers, my sensors scanned Optimus and detected transforming technology similar to your Zords," Zordon confirmed through Tommy's communicator. "He has the power to combine with your Dinozords."
"Whoa!" Zack said.
"Wait? Really?" Trini blurted out.
"Yes, the technology is a companionship. His and ours. They were made to work together… Even though they were developed on different planets."
"Alright, let's try it," Jason said.
Jason leaped up into his t-Rex Zord. "Alright, log on!"
As the other Rangers jumped into their Zords:
"Billy here, all systems functional nominal."
"Zack here. I miss this big guy." He patted the control panel in his Zord.
"Trini here, ready to rock!"
"Kimberly here, let's kick Zedd's butt!"
"Alright, Rangers, you know what to do. Power up your crystal!" Jason exclaimed as he put his hands together. Then he spread them out while his red crystal emerged in between.
"Two, one, power up!" Billy, Zack, Trini, and Kimberly summoned their crystals and plugged them into their Zords.
"I'm glad we still have these crystals," Billy said as their Zords combined together into Tank Mode.
"Time to combine!" Optimus Prime said and leaped up. His body split apart and floated in the air in front of the rolling Megazord. His head enlarged and slipped over the T-Rex head.
"What?!" Zedd blurted out.
"Fire!" Jason yelled. The arm-cannons shot at Zedd as the Megazord kept rolling in Tank Mode.
"You think an Autobot Megazord can defeat me?" Zedd exclaimed and jabbed his staff out towards the Megazord. Red lightening surged in a zigzag stream and zapped the Megazord which immediately exploded into a mushroom cloud. Zedd laughed. "I finally defeated the Rangers! Now, for the rest of you Autobots." He looked down at them. Grimlock, Red Alert, and the other Autobots stepped back. "I think I'll crush the red one first!" he exclaimed but stopped and looked straight ahead. "WHAT?" The Megazord rolled out of the smoke. "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!"
"Nothing is impossible, Zedd!" Tommy shouted down below.
"Activate Megazord battle mode!" Jason exclaimed.
"Megazord sequence has been initiated," the electronic voice said and the Megazord started lifting up with its Triceratops and Saber-tooth Tiger legs. Optimus' truck grill slapped onto the Megazord's chest. When the legs were up, Optimus' legs locked onto them. Lastly, the Mastodon flipped the cannons to the Megazord's hands.
"Cybertronic Prime Megazord activated," Optimus said as his eyes lit up.
The Autobot signature appeared in the back of the Cybertronic Prime Megazord's cockpit.
"Guys, I'll fly solo," Kimberly said as her Pterodactyl Zord soared around the Cybertronic Prime Megazord.
"Ooh, a new Megazord to play with!" Zedd said, positioning his staff forward. "This will be most enjoyable!"
"Alright, let's finish this!" Jason said and started moving the controls. The Megazord started coming to Zedd, Optimus' eyes glowing.
The Pterodactyl Zord shot at Zedd with its laser eyes.
"I won't let a puny little Zord stop me!" Zedd exclaimed and trusted his staff at the prehistoric bird Zord.
Kimberly swerved, missing his staff. "Well, this puny little Zord comes packed with firepower!" Kimberly's Zord shot him.
"We'll see how your new Megazord handles a little lightening!" Zedd zapped the Cybertronic Prime Megazord with his staff an explosion erupted, but it had no effect; the Megazord kept walking towards him without a single scratch. "What?! That's impossible!" he bellowed, let out a groan that echoed throughout, and zapped the Cybertronic Megazord again. The Megazord kept walking. "HOW ARE YOU STILL STANDING?!" Zedd kicked the Megazord in frustration.
The Megazord threw a punch at him but Zedd moved to the side. With his throaty grunt, he returned the punched to the Rangers' robotic machine.
CLANG! The Megazord side-kicked Zedd in his metal ribs with Optimus Prime's leg. Zedd held his staff out, blocking as the Megazord punched it.
The Megazord hit Lord Zedd in the chest, causing him to stumble back.
"I'd better take this fight in the sky," Zedd said and flew up high, almost reaching the clouds, then lowered a bit towards the Megazord. "How do you like a little laser show?" He placed his hand on his visor and hit the Megazord with his laser beam. He laughed. Once he soared to it, he slung his staff and whacked the Rangers' machine. He then shot another beam from his visor. When it hit the Megazord, it exploded.
The Rangers let out cries as they were shaken from the beam's impact.
"Hold on, guys!" Jason exclaimed, grabbing the controls. The Megazord threw a punch at Lord Zedd but he swerved in them sky, out of the way.
"Pathetic!" he exclaimed and whacked the Megazord with his staff. The Megazord stumbled a little. Zedd shot another beam at the giant robot; sparks flying from the Cybertronic Prime Megazord.
The Rangers yelled.
"That blast was more powerful. It nearly destroyed our defenses!" Zack said to the side of the cockpit.
"Hes getting stronger!" Trini declared.
"Be patient, Power Rangers, we'll get him!" Optimus Prime exclaimed.
"Hold on!" Zack said.
"Is that all you've got?" Zedd challenged, holding his staff out as if preparing to attack again.
"What are we going to do?" Kimberly asked as Zedd landed back down.
"WE NEED THE POWER SWORD!" Jason yelled and the sword came down from the sky and plunged unto the ground.
The Megazord pulled the sword out and slung it down, striking the Z on Zedd's metal chest. Zedd yelled and staggered back as sparks flew.
"You think a puny, little sword is going to stop me, Rangers?" Zedd grabbed his visor while thrusting his staff out. A blue laser shot from his visor and red lightening blasted out from his staff, hitting the Megazord.
"CYBERTRON CANNON!" Optimus Prime yelled and his chest opened. A cannon extended out.
"Let's end this now!" Jason exclaimed, raising his fist in the air.
"CYBERTRON CANNON, FIRE!" Jason, Billy, Zack, and Trini shouted with Optimus Prime. Light lit up inside and the cannon shot a yellow ball of energy and hit the armored Zedd directly in the Z on his chest. Before Zedd could retaliate, the Tiger Megazord shot an energy orb at him and blew up.
"Tommy?" Jason blurted out. "Where did you come in?"
"NOOOO!" Lord Zedd yelled. white light coursed through his body as the smoke cleared. His armor was gone. He had returned to his normal form, with his exoskeletal body. "I can't believe you destroyed my new powers!" He raised a fist up with his free hand. "Mark my words, Rangers, I'll be back to destroy you all!" And, with that threat, sparks flew from him then he fell over, exploding into an enormous fireball.
With his chest closed, The Cybertron Prime Megazord walked over to Tiger Megazord. It grabbed the Tiger Megazord's hand and shook it. Then they stood side by side.
"We did it!" Tommy exclaimed in the Command Center.
"Lord Zedd is finally gone!" Trini smiled.
"Way to go, guys!" Jason said.
"Now, Goldar and the rest of Zedd's goons must be cowering and scrambling around!" Zack said.
"Megatron and the Decepticons are still out there," Optimus Prime pointed out.
"Yes. But if we defeated Zedd, we can defeat them," Tommy replied.
"I sense Zedd is still alive," Zordon said and everyone looked.
"But, wen blasted him into Kingdom Come," Zack said.
"Zedd did say he will be backstage before he blew up," Optimus Prime pointed out.
"He may suffer greatly but he will return," Zordon said. "And we must be ready."
"Man, we've fought tons of battles with that creep! When will it end?" Zack asked.
"We'll just have to keep fighting until all evil is gone," Jason said.
"What about Megaton?" Billy asked.
"You have proved yourselves to be unworthy for a master!" Megatron said, staring at Zedd with great hatred in his cold, mechanical eyes. "I'm going back to Cybertron. Come, Starscream, let's go."
"What about your ship? It needs Dark Energy! It won't work! You can't leave! Ha-ha!" Zedd pointed out as Starscream walked pass him.
"Don't worry, I found some on this rock."
"What?!"
"I bid you farewell… come on, Starscream, Skywarp - whoever else came along with me - let's leave this pitiful place and return to Cybertron," Megatron said, turning around.
"WAIT!" Lord Zedd shouted and followed the Decepticons out on the moon's surface.
Megatron stopped. "I'm waiting…"
"You've done nothing at all!"
"Excuse me?"
"All you've done is make yourself at home in here."
"No, I fought your Power Rangers and those pesky Autobots."
"Yes, once. And you lost!"
Megatron walked in and the door closed behind.
"Fine! If you're going to disobey me, I'll pay you back with a little lightening explosion!" Zedd exclaimed, pointed his old Z staff out, and zapped the ship. A fireball erupted, soaring high in the air. "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, WHAT?!" As the smoke cleared, he saw the purple Nemesis still standing in one piece.
"Fool! You thought you could destroy my ship, didn't you?" Megatron said through the intercom.
"I always knew you were a fool!" Starscream contributed as the ship started to raise.
"I bid you farewell, Lord Zedd," Megatron said and the Nemesis took off into space, leaving Zedd blundering in its tracks on the moon's surface.
"Mark my words Decepticons, when I conquer the universe, I will find you, and destroy you!" He was about to turn back when he spotted something... "What is that?... Is that Dark Enerergon?"
Back at the Youth Center, Bulk and Skull came in.
"Uh-oh, don't look now." Jason smirked and the other Rangers turned.
"Hello, deweebs!" Bulk said.
Skull, chewing this gum follow his friend over to the Rangers.
"Still skipping class?" Zack asked.
"Yeah, we decided school is for losers," Bulk declared.
"Yeah, losers," Skull joined in.
"I wouldn't say that if I were you," Billy said.
Bulk came up to him. "Oh, yeah, why not?"
"The wrong person might hear you," Ernie said, carrying a tray of smoothies to a group.
Bulk scoffed. "Yeah right, who cares that we skip school." When he said that, Principal Caplan walked in. "I mean, besides that dumb Principal Caplan."
"Uh, Bulk?" Jason said.
"I mean, he's probably eating that disgusting brussel sprout sandwich he likes so much."'
"Bulky…" Skull shook his head.
"What is it, Skull?"
"Ix-nay on Apman-chay!" he said through clenched teeth.
"What are you talking about, Numbskull?" Bulk asked, turned around, and let out a little EEP while his irises showed too much white. "P-P-Principal C-C-Caplan," Bulk stammered. "How are you this afternoon?"
"Dumb Principal Caplan, eh?" he reiterated, crossing his arms.
"W-w-we didn't m-mean it," Bulk stammered.
"W-we w-were just j-j-joking," Skull contributed.
"Yeah, right… You're going to be in detention for the rest of your lives! Now, come on!" He grabbed both of their ears and pulled them out, kicking and yelling; Skull chewing gum in-between his cries of protest.
As soon as the coast was clear, the Rangers burst out laughing.
"You think they'll ever learn?" Jason asked.
Tommy's communicator went off.
"Being paged again?"
"Uh, thanks, Ernie," Tommy said and the six teenagers went in the hall.
"This is Tommy, what's up?"
"Power Rangers, this is Optimus Prime. Please, if you all will, come meet us in the park. We're returning to Cybertron."
"OK, Optimus, we'll teleport there now," he said, looking at his friends.
"I wish they didn't have to go," Kimberly said.
"Me too," Tommy replied.
Pushing the button on their communicators, the Rangers teleported away.
The lightwaves landed by the playground (which wasn't destroyed at all) and became the kids.
"Power Rangers, there you stand there in bravery and in honor," Optimus Prime said, extending his big hand out to them.
The Rangers smiled.
"Me Grimlock will miss Power Rangers!"
"We'll remanince you in our memories too, buddy," Billy said.
"I'll think about you every time I summon my Zord, even though it's a dragon now," Jason said.
"Aw, thank you, Grimlock appreciates it!" Grimlock said and hugged Jason.
"When did you become so mushy, Grimlock?" Red Alert asked and Grimlock let go.
"Grimlock sorry."
"It's alright," Jason replied, patting Grimlock's chest.
"Do you have to go?" Tommy asked as the wind blew his long hair.
"Yes, Cybertron needs us to win the war," Optimus replied, putting each hand on Jazz and Red Alert.
"It won't be the same without you," Zack said.
"We know, that's why we're giving you this intergalactic communicator," Red Alert replied and handed Tommy a black box. "Just push this button and it will connect you to our built-in communicators."
"Wow!" Tommy said and looked back at the other Rangers. "We don't know what to say…"
"Thank you. It has been an honor, fighting by your side," Jazz said.
"I enjoyed the ride, Red Alert, but next time, can you drive me to the mall?" Kimberly asked. "My car broke down and I need new shoes."
"Well…"
"I'm joking!" Kimberly grinned.
"Oh," Red Alert replied and everybody laughed.
"Should we do it, guys?" Jason asked. He put his hand out. Tommy, Zack, Billy, Trini, and Kimberly followed, stacking their hands. "You Autobots join us."
"Alright," Optimus said.
One by one, Red Alert, Ironhide, Jazz Optimus Prime, Grimlock, and Ratchet placed their huge hands in the circle.
"Ready," Tommy and Jason said. "One, two, three..."
"POWER RANGERS!" Everyone jumped up high, throwing their hands in the air.
