Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban and Nickelodeon. I only own the new plot.

The Rangers turned to the globe to see a black cat monster destroying the business district of Angel Grove.

"Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi! I haven't seen her in centuries!" Alpha exclaimed.

"Alpha, who is it?" Zack wondered.

"It's Katastrophe!" Alpha cried.

"Who's Katastrophe?" Rocky asked.

"A dangerous adversary and a loyal friend to Rita," Zordon answered. "Among her many talents is the ability to change anyone she touches into a feline much like herself," he continued.

"You mean that thing did this to Kat?" Jason demanded angrily, tightening his grip, resulting in a surprised and pained yelp from the feline in his arms. "Oh, sorry, Babe," he apologized.

"I think we better get to work," Tommy stated.

"Good idea," Jason agreed, placing Katherine down gently. The cat quickly jumped onto the panel.

"Rangers, do not let Katastrophe scratch you or you will end up like Katherine."

"You got it, Zordon."

"It's morphin' time!"

"Drago-Tigerzord!"

"Drago!"

"Stega!"

"Brachio!"

"Mastodon!"

"Pterodactyl!"

"Triceratops!"

"Saber-toothed Tiger!"

"Tyrannosaurus!" Katherine meowed and watched as her friends immediately attacked the monster. Oh, I wish I could be out there to help them, she thought to herself. The Red and Green and White Rangers teamed up and kicked the monster back. Before Katastrophe could get her bearings, the Rangers surrounded her, weapons drawn.

"You think you can take me?" Katastrophe sneered. These stupid Rangers. She'd just disable them like she did the blonde Ranger. However, before she could make a move, the Rangers leapt through the air and struck her one-by-one. Katastrophe fell to the ground.

"Power Blaster! Now!" At the Red Rangers command, the Rangers put their weapons together and fired.

"Oh, no you don't!" Rita exclaimed as she and Zedd put their staffs together.

"Grow, monster, grow!" they chorused. Lightning crackled and enveloped Katastrophe, who meowed as she grew to new heights.

"We need Thunderzord Power now!"

"Drago-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!" The zords roared and screeched as they answered the Rangers' calls.

"Convert to Thundermegazord now!" Instantly, the zords came together. Katastrophe hissed and charged at them. The zord quickly unsheathed its Thunder Saber. Energy crackled from the sword and then enveloped the monster. Katastrophe yowled in rage and then disintegrated.

"NO! The Rangers destroyed the monster!" Zedd roared. Calm down Zeddy! We can bring her back later when the Power Twerps least expect it," Rita cackled. As soon as the monster was destroyed, the Rangers teleported back to the Command Center.

"A job well done, Rangers, but be advised: Katastrophe has more than one life and you must be prepared for her return," Zordon cautioned.

"We will, Zordon," the teens promised.

"Zordon, what about the antidote for Kat?" Kimberly wondered as Jason bent down to pick up Katherine.

"As I said, the antidote is light years away and on another planet," Zordon replied.

"The journey may be dangerous," Alpha warned.

"We have to risk it. We've gotta get Katherine back…before it's too late," Jason said grimly.
