Episode 248: Power Rangers Dino Thunder: Legacy of Power
After Kira's concert, she meets up with the guys.
"I didn't see Dr. O" said Kira
"Neither did we" said Conner
"Let's go check his house" said Ethan and they head to the Dino Lab. Ethan hacks into Tommy's computer "I'm in"
"Yeah" said Kira "but where?" and video of Tommy starts playing
"I'm Tommy Oliver" said Tommy in the video "and if you're not me, something is seriously wrong. This video diary is a confidential record, only to be viewed in case of an emergency. What you're about to see is a history of my life"
"Yawn, more dinosaur bone stories" said Conner
"My history" said Tommy in the video "as a Power Ranger"
"Okay" said Conner "un-yawn"
"My story begins in Angel Grove" said Tommy in the video and the video shows Jason, Zack, Billy, Trini, and Kimberly teleporting into the Command Center, while Tommy keeps talking "when 5 teenagers with attitude were recruited to fight the evil space sorceress, Rita Repulsa. They harnessed the Power of the dinosaurs to become the Earth's first Power Rangers" the video shows footage of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers "under the guidance of the incredible being Zordon, Trini, Zack, Kimberly, Billy, and Jason bravely defended Earth, which forced Rita to create her own Ranger.
"Okay" said Kira "so where's Dr. O?"
The video shows Kimberly coming up to Tommy "Hey Tommy I'm Kimberly and I was wondering, do you want to hang out a the Juice Bar after school?"
"Sure, it's a date" said video of Tommy. Tommy walks out and is attacked by Putties. He beats them up and Rita appears.
"Tommy I have chosen you to be my Green Ranger" said Rita and they teleport to her palace
"Her magic" said Tommy in the video "combined with my lack of faith, was too strong, I couldn't fight it" the video shows Tommy morphing into the Green Ranger and attacking the other Rangers "she commanded me to destroy the Power Rangers and I almost succeeded"
"Tommy" said Kimberly in the video "we know your secret, we know you're the Green Ranger"
"Is that so Pink Ranger?" said video of Tommy "you can tell the rest of your friends that you will be destroyed"
"But my friends never gave up" said Tommy in the background as footage of the Red and Green Power Rangers fighting appeared "they helped me destroy the Sword of Darkness and I was freed"
"What happened?" the video of Tommy said
"Power Down" the video of Jason said "You were evil"
"I'm so sorry man" the video of Tommy said
"It's alright" the video of Jason said and the other Rangers, unmorphed walk up.
"And that's when I joined the team" Tommy narrated as footage of the six Mighty Morphin Power Rangers fighting together appeared "unfortunately, Rita had a candle that ended up draining my Power, and although I regained it for a time, I soon lost it again" footage switched to the White Power Ranger "so Zordon gave me new Powers, as the White Ranger and the leader.
"I can't believe this" said Conner "our teacher is the oldest living Power Ranger"
"Not the oldest" said a voice and they turned around to see Haley "just the best"
"Haley how did you get in here?" Ethan asked
"Tommy is good with fossils and bones" said Haley "but is not a rocket scientist. We met at MIT, and he recruited me into Project Hexagon to build Morphers, including your Dino Morphers"
"What happened to Dr. O?" Kira asked and Haley gets on the computer and brings up another video
"This is tape from right before your gig, Kira" said Haley and it shows Tommy being kidnapped.
"Why didn't he just morph?" Conner asked "I mean, he's a Power Ranger"
"He doesn't have those Powers anymore, although he does have… watch more of the video while I look for something" said Haley
The video continues playing showing Lord Zedd and Serpentera "A new villain" narrated Tommy "Lord Zedd was trying to destroy Earth" the video switches to the Rangers retrieving the Sword of Light and meeting with Rocky, Adam, and Aisha in the Command Center "Zordon sent us on a quest to get the Sword of Light, although he didn't tell us what for. When we returned he revealed that Jason had matured enough in Christ that Zordon wanted him to let Rocky take over. Zordon then said either Zack or Trini was a traitor and the other one such a passionate hatred for God that they could no longer remain on the team. I used the Sword of Light to transfer the Powers. Zack and Trini joined a government Ranger team, EAGLE, becoming the Red and Yellow EAGLE Rangers, who we clashed with on occasion. Not long after, Rita and Zedd married and then cloned me to create another evil Green Ranger. When I broke Tom of the spell he was sent to the Middle East to protect Christians who were persecuted. When Rito Revolto joined Rita and Zedd, the new team fought bravely, but Rito destroyed our Zords. Not long after EAGLE destroyed our Powers. A Ranger never gives up so Zordon sent us on a quest to find Ninjor, an ancient warrior, who gave us new Powers and new Zords. Later Kimberly disobeyed Zordon and was stripped of her Powers, who were given to my new friend Katherine. When Rita and Rito's father, Master Vile, destroyed our Power Coins, Zordon split us up to search for the pieces of the Zeo Crystal and had the Power Rangers of Aquitar watch Earth while we searched. When our search was complete they left and we had the Zeo Crystal, although Aisha had left and was replaced by Tanya. Just in time because we were under attack" the footage shows the Command Center blow up "we succeeded just as Rita and Zedd destroyed the Command Center. Beneath the ruins, we found Zordon, Alpha, and the Zeo Crystal, which guided us into the next chapter of our lives as Rangers" the footage showed the adventures of the Zeo Rangers "The Machine Empire had chased Rita and Zedd away and became our enemies. When it was revealed that Kimberly had become the Pink EAGLE Ranger, I struggled with my emotions until Ninjor helped me. Billy was also removed from the team when he tried to murder Trey, the Gold Zeo Ranger. Since we needed help, we turned to an old friend, Jason and assumed the Power of the Gold Zeo Ranger. Later a being known as Auric the Conqueror appeared to help them. At the end of career as Zeo Rangers, Rita and Zedd chased away the Machine Empire and retook the Moon Palace. We took on the Turbo Powers. A space pirate named Divatox launched an attack on Earth and when Rocky was injured so a kid named Justin took his Powers. Zordon and Alpha 5 left and were replaced by Dimitira and Alpha 6. It was also revealed that Billy had become the Blue EAGLE Ranger. We were joined by the Blue Senturion." the footage switches to the Turbo Rangers. "Later, it was time for Adam, Tanya, Kat, and me to go to college, so we had Carlos, Ashley, Cassie, and TJ replace us. They were joined by Dimitira, who became the White Turbo Ranger, and the mysterious Phantom Ranger who gave them new Zords. Divatox was tough and her Piranhatrons relentless. They took out the Power Chamber and their Powers with it. She headed to space, to join Dark Specter, and the Earth's ultimate destruction" the footage shows the Rangers going into space "the Rangers, except Justin, went into space on a dangerous mission to save Zordon and the Earth. Space is treacherous and the line between friend and foe is a thin one. Andros turned out to be more than a friend, he was a leader. They faced a new foe, Astronema, and Andros brought them the Astro Morphers to create a new team, the Space Rangers. The Rangers freed Zhane, the Silver Space Ranger, and he was noble addition to the team. The final showdown with the EAGLE occurred, with the Captain Mitchell, the Green EAGLE Ranger, betraying them and turning them in to Congress, for treason. Zordon sacrificed himself to save the universe and to free Astronema, who was actually Andros' sister Karone. Zordon was revealed to be Jesus Himself, as well as Ninjor being the Father, Auric and Dimitira were angels and the Phantom Ranger was the Apostle John. Zordon left this universe to sit at His Father's right hand, although he assured us he was always with us. I formed an alliance with the government, codenamed Project Hexagon, where I built new Morphers, but first we punished the EAGLE Rangers and the President for attacking the Rangers" shows footage of the Galaxy Rangers "Meanwhile, Terra Venture went on a voyage into space. When it arrived at Mirinoi, 5 individuals, Leo, Kai, Damon, Maya, and Kendrix used the Quasar Sabers to become the Power Rangers Lost Galaxy. They would have to combine their Powers if they were to defeat their enemies. They were joined by the vengeful Magna Defender, who sacrificed himself to save the colony. His powers were given to Leo's brother Mike. When Kendrix sacrificed herself to save Cassie, Karone took Kendrix's place on the team. When Trakeena tried to destroy the colony, the Red Ranger and his Battlizer was the only hope. With Trakeena destroyed, the people of Terra Venture were forever grateful to the Rangers of the Lost Galaxy. The Quasar Sabers restored Kendrix and the original Magna Defender." switches to footage of the Lightspeed Rangers "Meanwhile, on Earth, an elite team was being put together to face a legion of demons. They were created by Captain Mitchell and Billy and while they were suppose to overthrow the government, they ended up protecting the world from demons. The Lightspeed Rangers needed one more to complete their mission. That's when Ryan joined the team, although he was like me, originally evil, and needed to be convinced to join the team. Their scientist, Ms. Fairweather was given the Powers of the Demon Hunter. They sealed the demons away. A villain named Mesogog attack Project Hexagon's lab and destroyed it" the video stopped
"Hey" said Ethan "I was watching that"
"Here's why Tommy didn't morph" said Haley and she showed them two devices "he left his Zeonizers here. Mesogog must have him on his fortress. I'll use the computer to try to locate an invisiportal to there" and she clicks a few buttons "meanwhile, you can learn about your Ranger heritage" and the video starts playing again, showing the Time Force Rangers
"The Time Force Rangers, who four of were from Venus" said Tommy in the video "fought mutants and captured them, and were later joined by Eric, who needed to learn that being a Power Ranger was about serving God. The Rangers finished off the mutants, except for two that surrendered" the video showed the Wild Force Rangers "the Wild Force Rangers fought the Orgs who were set on destroying Earth. One Org was later to actually revealed to be a human, one the few humans that fought alongside Zordon 4,000 years ago. He became the Lunar Wolf Ranger. They were joined by an angel named Animus, who could become his own Megazord and with Zordon and Ninjor's help, finished the Orgs" the video paused.
"I think there's at least one more group of Rangers out there" said Haley, not mentioning the Angel Rangers, who she had no way to contact, or the Samurai Squad Rangers, as Michael the Archangel didn't want anyone to know about them in case someone tried to harm the children "they had this guy named Cam, who was even better at this than I am" and the video continued playing
"3 unlikely ninja students" narrated Tommy as footage of the Ninja Storm Rangers played "became Power Rangers and commanded the Powers of Earth, Air, and Water. It was the Power of Thunder that gave them their biggest challenge. But their greatest enemies proved to be their greatest allies. Cam, went through trials and temptations to gain the Power of the Green Samurai Ranger. In their final battle against Lothor, the Rangers sacrificed their Powers" Tommy comes back on screen "with the return of Mesogog, it became necessary to invoke the Power of the Dino Gems. If anything should happen to me, these three are in charge of protecting the planet" and it shows Conner, Ethan, and Kira "you're in good hands"
"He really trusts us" said Conner
"He does" said Haley
"We have to save him" said Ethan "we owe it to him"
"The whole world owes him" said Kira and the computer beeps
"It worked" said Haley "I've got a lock on an invisiportal"
"Time to go save a teacher" said Conner and they begin to leave.
