The sudden rush of power through his body as he appeared on the battlefield, alongside the giant forms of both Goldar and Scorpina – who had transformed into some kind of armored, insectile form that reminded him more than a little of a Taxxon, though only in the mouth area, with all of the sharp teeth that form had – left Tommy laughing again. It was almost a stranger feeling than he'd had all those times before when he'd morphed along with his friends and fellow Animorphs, but Tommy quickly put that aside.

There were more important things he had to focus on, right now of all times.

Attacking in the wake of Scorpina's charge, Tommy scored a deep gash along the chest armor of the Megazord, then leaped aside as Goldar made a charge of his own. Both of their swords slammed into the Megazord, and Tommy found himself smirking as the oversized robot stumbled backwards. Scorpina added her own contributions to their efforts, using her stinging tail to blast the Megazord with whatever kind of energy she was in control of.

In the end, the three of them were able to drive the Power Rangers and their Megazord to the ground.

Grinning under his helmet as he watched the Megazord fall into a canyon that had been torn in the ground, Tommy found himself laughing in triumph even as he caught sight of the Power Rangers being ejected from their own Megazord. True, it meant that they would be safe from the magma, but without a way to engage with Empress Rita's forces when she made them grow, they would have little chance of being as much of an annoyance as they previously had been.

That, beyond even being demoralized by this latest defeat of theirs, would be incredibly useful for Empress Rita's cause.
