At the Rock Porium. China sighed as she wiped down the counter, she looked up when she saw movement coming up to her. "Oh no!" She quickly ducks down.

"What are you doing?" Nick asked with a frown, and she pointed to the counter.

"Get rid of him!" She whispered. Nick's frown continued even when he turns to see a young man walk up to the counter.

"Hi." The red Ranger greeted. "Can I help you?"

"Yeah, hi." The young man greeted. "I was told that China works here."

"She does. But I'm sorry, she's not here." Nick told him.

"Yeah, she is Nick, she's ow." Chip whined when Vida reached around her sister and flicked the back of his head. "I mean, she's in the back - ow!" He winced when Vida flicked the back of his head again.

"China isn't here." Vida told the young man. "She went to Silver Hills, then she had to go to Turtle Cove."

The young man sighed. "Aw, ok." He nods. "Thanks you." He turns to leave.

Nick leans on the counter to make sure he's gone. "Cost is clear." He said, China stood up.

"Phew. Thanks a lot!" She sighs heavily. The door opens again, and she squeaked, grabbing Nick's arm and pulled him in front of her, as Nick stumbled to stay balanced, China quickly ducked down again.

"Sorry I'm late." Xander mumbled.

China shot up to stand next to Nick, scaring Xander.

"Whoa!"

"Xander!" China ran around Nick to come up to the green Ranger's side. "Got a second? Good! We need to talk!" With that she grabs his hand and all but yanks him out of the store.

"What." Nick started as the others come up to him. "Was that?"

"Don't know. But Chip wasn't any help." Vida folds her arms as she gives the red head a look.

XxXxXxXxXx

"Your happy today." Xander commented as he and China walked through a park. "What are you so happy about?"

"You, this … us."

Xander blinked, confused. "Us?" He asked, looking at her. "I didn't know there was an 'us'."

"Yes." China nods, pulling him to a bench and they sat down. "You ask out girls all the time with complete ease, but the first time you did try to ask me out … you turned yourself into a chicken and burping up feathers."

Xander looked away. "I guess I'm too afraid of Daggeron's reaction."

China nods. "Ok, ok, I respect that."

"I just don't want to screw things up."

"You don't know, unless you don't ask." China turns to him fully.

Xander took a deep breath. "Ok." He turns to look at her fully. "China, will you please go out with me?"

She smiled. "Yes." She nods, watching as Xander runs his hands through his hair. "That wasn't so hard, was it?"

Xander smiled, taking her hand. "Guess not." He stands up and pulls her up.

China leans up to kiss his cheek. "Come on, let's get back to the others."

With a big goofy smile, Xander lets her pull him down the sidewalk.

XxXxXxXxXxXx

At Rock Porium, the two walked back into the store to see Toby standing in the middle of the room with blades on his hands and a funny workout on.

"What's up with Toby?" China asked.

"He's a machine!" Chip answered brightly, causing the Rangers to laugh.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

At Rootrcore, Jenji is currently feeding Fire Heart. "Ok, Fire Heart, that should be enough for you today." He told the dragon, the dragon then blew a fireball onto Fire Heart's foot. "Whoa! He burned my fur off!"

"I told you to be careful, Jenji." Keesha warned gently as Daggeron walked over to them.

"I can't help but think the worst." He said. "We've had no contact from Udonna or Clare in days."

Keesha turns to him. "Let's not panic." She said, taking a hugging his arm.

"And no news is good news, right?" Jenji asked.

"That's right." Keesha nods. Just as the crystal ball picked up something.

"Daggeron, Udonna's been captured by a fat blue frog!" Clare exclaimed as her image appears in the crystal.

"Clare, come back to Rootcore." Daggeron instructed.

"No! I have to save her!" Clare insisted.

"Clare!" Daggeron called as the image disappeared.

"Be careful!" Jenji called.

XxXxXxXxXxXxX

In the Underworld, Morgonna walked from room to room, still searching for what she's looking for.

XxXxXxXxXxXxX

At Rock Porium, Xander leaned on the counter. "I've been trying to ask you out all year."

China smiled. "And it's sweet that you were thinking about our friendship."

"So, is it official for you two or not?" Silvermist asked, bouncing cheerfully with excitement.

"It's on the way." Xander answered with a nod.

"YES!" Silvermist cheers, until their morphers chime.

Nick pulls out his morpher and flips it open.

"Rangers, Udonna's been captured." Daggeron warns them.

"And there's a a Terror attacking the city!" Keesha adds.

"Come on, guys." Nick said, and the Rangers rush out, just as Toby walks in with a basket of healthy food.

"Uh, does anyone want any fruit?" He asked , but doesn't get an answer. "Guess not."

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Inside the city, Hekatoid arrives. "It's my turn to bring destruction to this land!" He said, sending slime into the sky. "Soon, my poisonous tadpoles will rain down and rule the surface world!" Everyone started screaming and just as the Terror was about to blow his hammer, steam is blasted onto him. "Ouch! That's hot!"

"Interrupting, am I?" Daggeron asked, while in his Megazord.

"Don't even try it!" The Terror threatened.

"You're making a big mistake." Daggeron warned.

"No, it's you who is mistaken!"

"Hey, frog brain!" Nick shouts, causing Hekatoid to turn his attention to the Titan Megazord.

"Alright, where's Udonna?" Maddie asked.

"Don't try to stop me or you'll never see her again!"

"Let her go!" Maddie shouts.

"Yeah!" Chip yelled.

"Missed me!" The Terror taunted, using his slime to shrink himself.

XxXxXxXxXxXx

"That's far enough!" Daggeron yelled as he and the others were back to normal.

"You can't stop my plan!" Hekatoid points to the clouds. "Wait til my babies rain down from the heavens!"

"What are you talking about?" Nick asked.

"Look closer." The Terror said.

China chanted up a pair of binoculars and looks up. "Uh oh."

Nick snatches the binoculars to look up. "Tadpoles?" He asks, lowing the binoculars down.

"Poisonous frog babies!" Hekatoid said proudly. "It's brilliant!"

"Frogs?" Maddie shuttered. "Why did it have to be frogs?"

Hekatoid roars as Chip and Xander run towards him, the others soon follow.

"Gotcha!" Hekatoid said, grabbing Maddie's leg and pushes her back.

"Maddie!" Vida calls, watching her sister.

Nick jumps on the Terror.

"Nick! Hold him!" China calls, pulling out her Magi Staff.

"I'm tryin!" Red Ranger said, struggling to hold onto the Terror.

"Get off me!" The Terror yelled, grabbing Nick and throwing him into China and the two hit the ground. Hekatoid blew into his horn hammer, transporting the Rangers.

"Rangers!" Daggeron shouts.

"Now they're in my dimension!" Hekatoid said.

"Stop!" Daggeron shouts, using his laser lamp, but the Terror disappears. "No! Come back!"

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

In the forest, Morgonna walked through the trees. "I know I have to be getting close." She said to herself.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

In Hekatoid's dimension, the Rangers appeared. "Where are we?" Chip asked as the Rangers look around.

"Let me guess … a strange dimension." Nick tried to answer.

"It's time to play my game!" Hekatoid said as he appears in the sky.

"No games … where's Udonna!?" Xander demanded.

"She better be ok!" Nick shouted.

"Play my game or you'll never see her again!"

"That's it pal!" China points at the Terror. "You need a time out!"

"I'm not done explaining the rules." Hekatoid said. "You only have until the clock runs out."

"Grr." Nick growls. "Let's do it!" He shouts, they run towards the Styxoids and the clock ticks down.

"Tornado Power!" Vida shouts, turning into a tornado and destroys a group of Styxoids.

"Let's make this more interesting." Hekatoid said as the clock hand goes past the '30 mark. The Terror uses his magic and places a hold on the Rangers minus Nick.

Nick grows angry as he's currently surrounded. "That's not fair!" He shouts.

"It's my game, and time is running out!"

"Then I'm playing this my way!" Nick shouts and jumps into the air, going into Red Legend Warrior Mode. "Red Dragon Fire Ranger!"

Nick easily destroys the Styxoids, destroying them within seconds before the clock runs out. "Thanks, Fire Heart!" Nick said, as the spell on the others fades and Fire Heart flies away. "Alright, we've played your game! Now where is she!?"

The game's not over yet!" Hekatoid said. "Let's see how you do against more formidable opponents!"

The Rangers are then transported somewhere else.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

At Rootcore, the crystal ball picks up progress on the tadpoles. "Oh, boy. Now what, huh?" Jenji asked as he, Daggeron and Keesha run up to the table.

'We have to stop those tadpoles from becoming poisonous frogs." Daggeron said.

"But shouldn't we be looking for Udonna or the Rangers instead?" Jenji asked.

"I have some people already looking for Udonna." Keesha informed. "And the Rangers already have their hands full at the moment."

"If billions of poisonous frogs fall from the the sky, it won't matter if we find the others or not." Daggeron added.

Jenji sighed. "You're right. I never thought of it that way." He goes into his lamp.

Daggeron turns to Keesha. "Stay in Rootcore." He kisses her gently.

"I will."

Daggeron took a few steps back. "MAGICAL SOURCE, MYSTIC FORCE! Hyah!"

XxXxXxXxXxXx

"Ok, Jenji, furnace blast!" Daggeron shouts, aiming the furnace of his Megazord at the clouds that are holding the poisonous tadpoles.

XxXxXxXxXxXxX

"Aah!" The Rangers shout once they're transported and landed wherever Hekatoid sent them.

Xander helps China up.

"What do you think he meant by 'more formidable opponents'?" Chip asked. To answer his question colors of Red, yellow, blue pink, gold and green lighting shot through the sky and struck the ground, the smoke cleared and in front of them were copies of themselves.

"Uh oh." China said as their doppelgängers sun around.

"It's us … but not." Chip said.

"Let's see you defeat yourselves." Hekatoid said.

"Oh, boy." Chip said as they ran at their copies.

"Magi Staff!" Shouts Nick as he fights his copy until Chip was knocked to the ground by his own copy. Just as they were about to continue to fight. Nick, Xander and Vida ran towards then, only to turned into dice. The only ones standing are Chip, China and Maddie.

"They turned them into dice!" Maddie said.

"I'll get them!" Chip said, with his crossbow in hand. "Fire!"

"Hold on guys!" Maddie said as she picks them up.

"Come on!" Red Copy said as they run towards Chip. The other copies run towards Maddie and China.

"Oh no!" Maddie shouts.

"Mysto Ribbito!" Pink Copy shouts before combining with Blue and Gold to make a vast frog.

"EW!" Maddie cried.

Suddenly the frog lets out its tongue and wraps it around both Maddie and China. "Chip!" China cries, Chip turns around.

"Maddie, China!"

"Galwit Mysto Neramax! Ha!"

The frog lets go of he girls, and they stumble.

"You're going back to the pound! Tidal Wave!" Maddie shouts, sending the huge wave of water to crash down.

"Heat Wave!" China followed suit.

The combined power collided into the vast frog. "Ha! Checkmate!" The girls said in union.

"I hate frogs." Maddie shuttered.

"Crossbow Staff! Lightning Bow!" Chip called, now in Legend Mode. He aims and fires, knocking the copies down.

"Alright! Maddie and China cheeked, running towards Yellow Ranger.

"Yeah! What can I say?" He asked. "I'm a gamer."

"No doubt." Maddie said.

"Ohhh!" Hekatoid said.

"We played your game!" Maddie said. "Now take us to Udonna!"

"Right now!" China shouted.

"As you wish." Hekatoid said and transported the Rangers.

XxXxXxXxXxXx

Back in the city. Daggeron continued to use the furnace on the tadpoles.

"Whoa, how long do we keep this up?" Jenji asked.

"As long as it takes, Jenji. As long as it takes!"

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

"Voila!" Hekatoid said as Maddie, China and Chip appear.

"Return our friends!" Maddie yelled. Nick, Vida and Xander are restored.

"Yeah!"

"Alright!"

"You guys rock!" Xander said as they hugged each other.

"Now, that you're all here, I'll add you to my collection." Hekatoid said, ruining the moment.

"No way! You said you'd take us to Udonna!" China points at him. "Where is she!"

"You want to see her?"

"Right now!"

"Here's your beloved!" Hekatoid shows them Udonna.

"Udonna!" The Rangers shout.

"She's my prize!" Hekatoid said, angering the Rangers more. "And you will look wonderful by her side."

"You're going to pay for this, toad!" Chip threatened.

"Yeah!" Nick shouts.

"Code 5 … Manticore Megazord!" The Rangers shouts.

"Now give her back!" Chip shouts, sticking Hekatoid.

"Full power!"

"Blow me down!" Hekatoid bellows as he returns fire, but it doesn't stop the Rangers' attack. As rubble came down and surrounded Hekatoid.

China leaps out of the Megazord, transforming into her Titan Mode and catches Udonna.

"Nick! I have Udonna!" She cheers, holding the orb that Udonna is trapped inside.

"Be careful!" Nick yells as she bounces.

"Relax." China smiles as she holds Udonna close. "Your mom is ok."

Suddenly a tongue comes out of the rubble and snatches Udonna.

"Hey!" The Rangers shout, then gasp as Hekatoid gets out from the rubble.

"You snooze, you lose!" The Terror then shoots some sledge at the Megazord and the Titan. "I'm out of here!"

"Stop!" Maddie shouts, but Hekatoid ignored her.

"She's mine again!" The Terror taunts happily, he opens a rift with a water slide to hop into, not knowing the Rangers followed him. Soon the rift starts to close and the Rangers hold it, struggling to keep it open.
