Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban, Fox Kids, and Disney. I only own the subplots.
In the Spectrum Theater, the Blue Ranger walked down a staircase.
"A lower level," he said to himself. Then, "Guys, this could be the way out we've been searching for!"
"All right, we'll check it out," the Red Ranger said. "Everyone keep your eyes peeled."
"Can't be any worse than what's behind us," the Purple Ranger stated.
"You've got that right," the Gold Ranger agreed with a chuckle. They continued on their way, finding themselves in a cave.
"We're in a cave underneath the theater," the Blue Ranger realized.
"I see a light! Let's go!" the Red Ranger shouted, and they all followed him. Feeling the fresh air, they laughed. They had done it! They were out of there! Laughing in relief, they all headed out of the cave. On the moon, Zedd was sitting in a chair beside the Rejuvenation Chamber, while Rita was lying on the machine, both of them laughing heartily.
"Lord Zedd! Empress Rita!" Finster called.
"We're busy dog-breath!" Rita snapped.
"But this is an emergency Evil Ones! Peckster reports that the Power Rangers have somehow escaped from the theater!"
"Bumbling fools! I will not tolerate this!" Zedd growled.
"Zeddikins, why don't you just make those monsters grow? That'll take care of those Power Poodles," Rita suggested.
"Ohhhh...what a brilliant idea!" On Earth, the Rangers continued running.
"We've got to get clear of the theater and then try our powers again!" the Red Ranger told them.
"I'll send the Rangers to the abandoned city, where my monsters can crush them!" With that, Zedd threw down nine of his grenades, which each monster caught and made himself grow. The enlarged monsters laughed. In the Command Center, the alarm blared.
"Oh, be quiet, you stupid alarm!"
"This is serious. The Rangers are needed to do battle with Zedd's giants creatures."
"You know, I've had just about enough of you." Alpha pressed some buttons, causing Zordon to disappear. Finally! Peace and quiet! the robot thought. And next was the end of the Power Rangers! The enlarged monsters gave chase to the Rangers.
"I call on the Power of Thunder!"
"Tigerzord!"
"Mastodon-Lion Thunderzord Power!"
"Pterodactyl-Firebird Thunderzord Power!"
"Drago Thunderzord Power!"
"Stega Thunderzord Power!"
"Brachio Thunderzord Power!"
"Triceratops-Unicorn Thunderzord Power!"
"Saber-toothed Tiger-Griffin Thunderzord Power!"
"Tyrannosaurus-Red Dragon Thunderzord Power!" Once the zords were there, they linked up to form the Thundermegazord. Robo Goat, Peckster, Soccadillo, Dramole, Invenusable Flytrap, Saliguana, Nasty Knight, and Dark Warrior, and Eye Guy charged them.
"How do we destroy these guys?" the Gold Ranger wondered.
"Find Eye Guy's main eye!" the Blue Ranger answered. The Black Ranger used the Deep Freeze attack on the Saliguana who roared in pain and anger. With a guttural sound, the Dramole sprayed the Tigerzord with its noxious gas while Peckster began flipping his wings. The White Ranger loaded a thunderbolt, aimed it at the monsters, and fired.
"Great shot, Bro!" the Red Ranger told him. The monsters charged the two zords, and the Thundermegazord unsheathed its sword and struck the advancing creatures while the Tigerzord kicked and punched them. Then, the Thunder sword shone with a brilliant light and the White Ranger armed another thunderbolt.
"Oh, no you don't, Rangers." Alpha quickly pressed some buttons on the console.
"Hey, what's going on with our power?" the Silver Ranger wondered.
"Alpha, no," the Red Ranger whispered. However, the other Rangers heard him and gave him strange looks. Robo Goat punched the Thundermegazord and it went down, with the Tigerzord following after a strong wind from Peckster's wings. As they fell out of the zords, they felt the familiar sensation of teleportation. When they finally rematerialized, they were dismayed to find themselves back in the theater.
"Whoa. Not this creepy place again," the Pink Ranger said.
"I don't get it. How'd we get back here?" the Silver Ranger wondered.
"It felt like we were teleported," the Blue Ranger stated.
"But how would Zedd and Rita be able to do that?" the Purple Ranger wondered.
"It wasn't them," the Red Ranger said grimly.
"Then, who?" the Yellow Ranger wondered.
"Alpha," the Red, White, Blue, and Gold Rangers chorused.
"Alpha!" the others chorused.
"No way. You've got to be wrong," the Pink Ranger objected.
"Kim, Zordon once told me that this place was in the middle of a vortex that disabled our powers, and yet Alpha sent us here. He's obviously been compromised somehow," the Red Ranger continued. On the moon, Zedd couldn't have been happier.
"Indeed, a fitting tribute for my wedding day. At long last, I shall witness the end of the Power Rangers." Meanwhile, Finster was powdering Rita's face while Scorpina and Goldar watched them.
"Stop it! I can't breathe!" the witch complained.
"Sorry, Empress. I'm just a bundle of nerves, what with the preparations and all," he apologized.
"Would you shut your trap?" she snapped. "I'm the one who's supposed to be nervous seeing as how I'm the one who's going to be marrying that scrap of heap, not you!" Scorpina hid a grin. "So, how do I look?"
"A vision of venom, Empress," Scorpina complimented.
"Thought so." She primped. "Finster, I want you to leave two monsters and group of my Putties to guard the Power Rangers, while the rest of the monsters attend my wedding," she continued.
"And then everyone will see that Rita Repulsa is back in control!" Goldar enthused. They all laughed wickedly. Finster went to make Rita's Putties. Back in the theater, the Rangers were discussing the turn of events.
"If Alpha has been compromised, that would explain why he sounded so weird on our communicators," the Pink Ranger stated.
"And why there was the static," the Silver Ranger added.
"Man! I can't believe this is happening!" the Gold Ranger exclaimed.
"Hey, come on, guys. We can't give up. We got of here before, we can do it again," the Red Ranger encouraged. The others nodded. On the moon, the Lunar Palace had been decorated to commemorate the occasion. Scorpina stood by the refreshment table and grabbed a handful of snake pate. Goldar approached her.
"What?" she snapped.
"How can I make this up to you?" he wondered.
"Just don't blow the plan," she answered, turning from him. Zedd stood up.
"It is time, Goldar. Bring in the guests! Let the wedding begin!"
"Monsters, begin the processional!" At his command, Zedd's Putties, Rita's Putties, the Dark Warrior, Dramole, Eye Guy, Nasty Knight, Saliguana, Soccadillo, Invenusable Flytrap, Bones, Stag Beetle, Grumble Bee, and Golden Pipe walked down the Chamber Of Command, carrying presents. "Gather around and present your gifts."
"Welcome my friends and underlings," Zedd began. "What a glorious day!" he laughed. "Yes, magnificent!" The monsters and creatures continued to approach. "Come. Come to me, my monsters."
"Approach monsters, one and all and pay homage to Empress Rita and Lord Zedd on this momentous occasion."
"Thank you." He laughed and accepted the gifts. "You monsters are like mutant sons to me. Come closer. We're all one big evil family today." In the Spectrum Theater, the Rangers had sat on the stairwell.
"I can't believe Alpha would hurt the zords like that," the Silver Ranger stated.
"Yeah, well, obviously he did," the Purple Ranger responded.
"That settles it. We have to get out of here again, go to the Command Center, and fix him," the Blue Ranger determined. Suddenly, Robo Goat and Peckster materialized.
"Hello, Rangers! We just wanted to let you know that we'll be watching you!" Peckster told them and they disappeared.
"Well, they're going to get annoying," the Pink Ranger grumbled.
"Like they're not already?" the Gold Ranger quipped.
"So, how are we going to get out of here with them right behind the door?" the Yellow Ranger wondered.
"And if we do get out, how do we keep Zedd, Rita, or Alpha from sending us back?" the Silver Ranger added.
"I don't know," the Red Ranger answered bleakly.
