At Angel Grove High, conversations such as the following could be overheard:

"... don't seem so dangerous anymore when you kick their knees..."

"... look a little like clowns, once you know how to fight them..."

"... day will come that we won't need those Power Rangers to help us anymore."

Especially that last bit is what bothered a particular group of six teens. That group, unbeknown to anyone, were said Rangers.

"I've heard people talk like this for weeks now." Tommy said, "And I still can't believe I'm hearing it."

"Somehow, somebody found out an easy way to kill those Putties, and it wasn't us." Aisha agreed, "I thought we were supposed to be the heroes to do that."

"On the other hand, people stop calling us the colored, costumed, or whatever freaks, weirdos." Billy spoke, "They now know we're called Power Rangers."

"But how?" Adam wondered, "We're supposed to keep our identities secret. How could anyone find out what we're called?"

"You think somebody knows who we are?" Rocky asked.

This silenced the group for a moment, which Kim broke when she wondered: "Oh my gosh! Did somebody see what my helmet does to my hair? It's my hair isn't it?"

Adam pondered about something else: "If someone knows who we are, then why didn't he say that in the papers?"

"You're right." Aisha replied, "Whoever spoke to the papers, he told them how to deal with those Putties and what we're called. Why didn't he say more?"

While they were discussing that, their watches started to make their alarming noise. Everyone looked around, upon which five of the six surround Tommy, so nobody would see him when he talks into the watch: "This is Tommy."

Zordon's voice spoke: "This is an emergency. A monster appeared downtown."

"Another one?" Tommy questioned, "But we've got class soon."

"Then we've got a reason to skip classes. What are you complaining about?" Rocky asked him.

Tommy considered that. He nodded, upon which he and the other five decided to run out of the hallway, so they could change somewhere, inconspicuously. But as they hurried around the corner, one of them accidentally hit somebody on their way.

"Oh, sorry, didn't see you coming." Billy apologized.

"You probably see better if you still wore your glasses." the other person replied.

"Terry?" Adam spoke.

"It's Terrence!" the other person, Terrence, replied, "Why can't you remember that?"

"And what are you talking about? My glasses?" Billy asked again.

"Oh! Right! I forgot!" Terrence growled, upon which he turned away from them.

"Let's just ignore him." Rocky suggested, upon which the six continued to find a place to change.

Through their watches, Alpha could hear them when they changed into their suits. Upon doing so, he pressed the right buttons on his computer and teleported them to where they had to be.

"Teleporting the White Ranger should be funtional now, Zordon." he reported.

Zordon didn't say anything. He couldn't keep his eyes off the so-called viewing globe, which showed what a news-helicopter was shooting.

"I do not understand." Zordon spoke, "Before, they sent a monster that could tear down a building, after that they sent one that could dig. This one can't do anything important for them. Why are they sending him?"

"Desperation?" Alpha thought out loud.

"I don't think so." Zordon said, "They must have some scheme in mind."
