Runaway Minh Part 1
Angel Grove Youth Center - Juice Bar
Mayor Kyler Stone repeats as the Mayor of Angel Grove. The Zack Taylor campaign gets very depressing. The Youth Center has less and less people. Zack is bummed out about the loss. Minh feels worse, Mayor Kyler Stone hates the Power Rangers, she is sad and confused by the whole thing. Zack was rolling for Mayor, he had a lot of supporters that were on his side. What went wrong with the election? Nobody knows why. Billy comforts Minh, she is like a daughter to him. Billy and Zack would do anything for their Minh. Minh loves her Uncle Billy and her Uncle Zack, they're like the fathers she's never had. She feels bad about her Uncle Zack losing, she still loves him no matter what. She had nobody else since her Mom died and her Dad left them since she was little. All she had was Zack and Billy who loved her since she was a baby.
While being comforted by Billy, a person comes into the juice bar. He looks around seeing all of the people being disappointed with the election. He then looks at Minh, being comforted by her Uncle Billy, the person comes over to her. The person hovers over Minh, the first two words he says to her is "Hello, Minh". Minh looks up towards the figure, she goes from feeling disappointed to frightened. She stares at the person, feeling speechless. She struggles to say a word towards the person, the first word she finally spits out is "Father?"
Minh's Father looks at her, he smiles at her. "It's been a while, pumpkin," he says to her. Billy stands up, he stares down Minh's Father, he says "what are you doing here Sebastian?" he glares at Minh's father, being protective towards her. Billy stares at him angrily wanting to take him down. Zack looks at Sebastian with horror, he doesn't believe what he is seeing. Kelly whispers to Rocky "who is that guy?" she asks, wondering why her boss (Billy) is looking like he is getting ready to attack like a rabid dog. Rocky responds to his girlfriend "that's Sebastian Conlon, Trinis ex husband and Minhs father" he says feeling tense about the situation. The other four rangers are shocked to hear this. Austin then remembers who that guy is. Zack gets up from his chair, he hustles down to Sebastian. "Why are you here? Don't you have your own life to worry about?" Zack says, giving Sebastian the evil eye. Sebastian gives Zack an angry look on his face. "Well look at what we have here, a new mayor. Oh wait!" Sebastian says with a smirk on his face. Zack clenches his fist, getting ready to punch Sebastian. Billy restrains Zack. Minh gets up from her chair, she starts to back away slowly. Sebastian sees her moving away, he says "hey! Don't you wanna give your dad a big old hug." Minh is shocked, she doesn't know what to do. She has a hard time speaking to him. "Y-Y Y-You. You left us…." Minh struggles to speak to her father "W-W-Why? Why are you here?" she asks, struggling to speak. Sebastian looks at her, he responds "yes. I left to work as an executive assistant" he says, smiling at his daughter. "But your mother had to be a tramp" he says while turning his head towards Zack, giving him an angry look on his face. Zack gets angry "That's because you were awful to Trini! You had no support towards your own wife!" He yells at Sebastian. Sebastian ignores Zack and looks at Austin. He leaves Zack while he is yelling at him. He goes over to see Austin. Austin is confused, wondering why Sebastian is going over to him. Austin tries to ignore him and stick with Beverly. Sebastian pushes Zack and Billy away from him and goes over Austin. "Well, well. Austin Jacobs" Sebastian says, looking at Austin. He then smiles at Austin "You're all grown up. Your Mother and Father must be proud. They've really raised such a fine young man" he then turns his head towards Billy and Zack. "I feel disgusted that Minh has to be raised by such an awful person like Zack" Sebastian says, feeling angry at Zack. Austin struggles to say a word, but he doesn't know what to say. Sebastian says to him "oh, you don't remember me?" Austin nods his head slowly. Sebastian looks down at Austin "I'm a family friend of your parents" he says. Austin responds, "I remember, we used to go to your place for family barbecues." Sebastian nods "that a boy, you're still friends with Minh since the preschool days" he smiles at him. Austin isn't sure what to do at this moment. He grabs on Beverlys hand, trying to feel safe with her. Sebastian then looks at Beverly, he then looks at her facial features. "You're Michael Rose's daughter!" he says while putting two and two together. Beverly is surprised, she nods slowly not knowing what to say. Sebastian smiles at her "we went to prep school together, before I left for the Peace Conference in Switzerland" he smiles at her. Sav gets up, he glares at Sebastian "I suggest you better get going!" he says, defending his friends. Sebastian glares at Sav "young man, this is not how you speak to an adult!" Zack and Billy hustle over, they protect Sav. "No, this is where you leave!" Zack says glaring at Sebastian. "Not without my daughter!" he says to Zack. Fran gets out from behind the counter and goes over to Sebastian, he yells "Get out of my bar, if you know what's good for you!" Sebastian turns around and leaves, he says one more thing before heading out of the doorway, "I'll be back, my daughter needs me!"
The Youth Center goes silent.
Angel Grove High - Hallway
Weeks go by since the incident at the Youth Center. The hallway is packed with students going to their destinations. Austin and Beverly hold hands while walking down the hallway. Beverly is dressed up in her cheerleading uniform. Football Season is over, Basketball Season has begun. Beverly is dressed up for the Basketball game that is going on tonight. Austin has a hard time looking at his girlfriend. He wants to tell her how beautiful she is, but he is too worried about Minh. Beverly looks up at Austin, she wonders what is wrong with him. She asks "Is something bothering you?" Austin looks at Beverly, he says "It's Minh, she's been acting up since her father came back." Beverly understands what Austin is saying, "Oh, right. I didn't think her father would ever come back…" she says this while playing with her ponytail. "Her father has been staying at my house for weeks. I had a hard time looking at him while he was there. I had to avoid him at all costs" Austin says, trying not to think about Minh's father being here at Angel Grove. Beverly nods at him "I know, he and my dad wouldn't stop talking. They've been acting like high schoolers since they've hung out at my place" she says to Austin. Austin smirks "no wonder we've been at the park so many times" he says, smiling at her. Beverly responds "at least we get to go on more dates" she says chuckling. "Yeah, just wish it wasn't because of Minhs dad" he says with a laugh. They see Sav and William chatting. "Hey Sav, Willy!" Austin says, calling out to them. Sav and William wave at Austin and Beverly. They walk over to the boys. Sav asks the lovebirds "Hey, have you seen Minh lately?" Beverly and Austin are shocked. "No? I hadn't seen her" Beverly says. Sav says to them "Minh hasn't been here lately, I hadn't seen her in class, yesterday, or last week at all" Sav feels worried for Minh. A person wearing a gray hood bumps into Austin, Austin looks at the gray hooded figure. He squints, looking at the backpack, wondering why it looks familiar to him. He leaves the group. The group wonders what Austin is doing, they follow him. Austin goes around the gray hooded figure, the figure has its head down. The figure is listening to music while facing the floor. The figure walks, until it is stopped by Austin. Austin then realizes who this figure is, it is Minh. "Minh?" Austin asks, while looking at the figure. Minh stops and pulls her hood down. Minh is feeling sad and depressed. "It is you! But why are you like this? You're always dressed up in yellow" Austin says this while observing her. Minh looks at Austin with a sad look on her face, she says "I don't have to dress in yellow everyday!" feeling aggravated by him. Austin responds "we've been worried about you. Are you feeling okay?" Minh pushes Austin "just leave me alone" she says while walking down the hallway. Austin proceeds to follow her, he keeps up with his longtime friend.
Minh ignores Austin, she tries to go to her next class. "Minh, what's up? Are you okay?" Austin asks, feeling concerned. Minh says nothing, she just keeps going. They walk up to the second floor, while turning into another hallway, they see a kid getting bullied. The bully pins the kid to his locker. Austin goes over to the bully "Hey, leave that kid alone!" he yells, demanding the bully to step off. The bully lets go of the kid, then glares at Austin. The bully says to him "or what?" trying to be a smartass to Austin. The bully then tries to hit Austin. Austin grabs the fist of the bully and twists his arm around, hurting the guy. "If you wanna be able to write with this hand, I suggest you leave that kid alone!" he says, to the bully. The bully turns around and scurries away from Austin. Austin goes over to the kid, he asks him "are you okay George?" George gets up, he nods slowly. He then drops his jaw, George yells "look out!" Austin turns around, the bully comes close to Austin, getting ready to punch him. Minh trips the Bully, he falls flat on his face. The bully breaks his wrist while landing on the floor, Minh then flips the bully over like a burger, she throws punches at the guy. The bully yells, "Stop" while getting beat. Minh ignores him, she then headbuts the bully right in the nose. The bully cries in pain. Austin grabs Minh, yanking her off of the bully. Minh is raging with anger. Austin restrains her with a full nelson. Minh struggles to get Austin off of her, wanting to keep punching the bully.
Angel Grove High School - Foyer
Austin sits down on the stairway, feeling angry about what Minh did, but feeling awful about what she did to the bully. Austin has mixed emotions, he doesn't know how to feel about either one of the two. Beverly, William, and Sav all come over to Austin, they sit next to him. William asks Austin "Do you know how long Minh is going to be suspended?" Austin shrugs his shoulders, not knowing the answer "she and Mr. Crandall have been talking for a long time. I don't know what is going on?" he says, while looking at the main office. William sits down next to Austin looking at the office door "George has been feeling proud of Minh, I don't know if that is a good thing or not" William says, feeling unsure about how Minh stood up. Beverly comforts Austin "why don't we skip for the rest of the day?" she says, while holding on to Austin's hand. Austin isn't sure if he wants to be with anyone. "Brick's a terrible person. But him falling down and breaking his wrist…. that is where it should stop. Minh shouldn't have done that at all…" Sav says, feeling down about the whole thing. The door to the principal's office opens, the group acts natural, they pretend to go over a homework assignment while listening to the conversation. Principal Crandall, Zack, and Minh all walk out of the office. Mr. Crandall tells Zack "It'll be for two weeks." Zack responds "Two Weeks?" feeling dumbfounded. Mr. Crandall nods at Zack "yes, for what Minh did was bad behavior. Assaulting another student is against school policy" Mr. Crandall says to Zack. Zack puts his head down, he nods and understands the reason "I understand, it is bad for what Minh did" he then looks at Minh. Mr. Crandall looks at Minh "Ms. Kwan, you're our class president. You should be setting a good example to your class. Don't throw your life away because of that." Mr. Crandall then looks at Zack "Look, I know there has been some problems going on with your life. If it makes you feel any better, I voted and supported you throughout your campaign. I don't want Minh taking out her frustration over this" Mr. Crandall feels bad about Zack but is disappointed over Minh. "You will write an apology letter to Brick Bucket when you get back" Mr. Crandall says, while looking at Minh in the eye. Minh rolls her eyes, feeling annoyed by the idea. Mr. Crandall looks at the four, sitting on the stairway "don't you guys have class to get too!" Austin, Beverly, Sav, and William all scurry up the stairs, they hide behind the balcony, trying to listen. Mr. Crandall nods at Zack and goes back to his office.
Zack speaks into his communicator to the rangers "guys, go back to class. I'll take care of this situation" he then takes Minh back home. The rangers pop their heads up from the balcony one by one. They all watch Minh and Zack go home.
Kwan / Taylor Household - Minhs room
Zack is mad at Minh. He is very disappointed about how Minh behaved at school. "What was that? Didn't your mother and I tell you not to behave this way?" Zack says, feeling angry at her. Minh stares at the floor not saying a thing. Zack grabs Minh's chin and moves her head up, facing each other eye to eye "look at me while I am talking to you!" Minh slaps Zacks hand off of her chin "why? You're not my father!" she gives out an angry look on her face. "My father came here to take me back, from you!" she yells furiously. Zack takes away Minhs communicator and her morpher away from her. Minh protests "you can't do this Zack! The rangers need me!" Zack responds "no, they don't need a baby, they need a leader!" He slams Minhs door. Minh screams into her pillow.
Kwan / Taylor Household - Living Room
Zack puts away the communicator in a lock box. He holds on to Minhs morpher, he stares at it, thinking about Trini. He feels guilty about Minh, he knew he didn't raise her to be like this. Ever since her father dropped by, she's acted up in school and home. The front door opens, Sebastian barges into the house. Zack is flabbergasted; he yells at Sebastian "what are you doing here? You can't barge into my house!" Sebastian gives Zack a nasty look, "That would be my house, Zack!" he stares at him with a nasty look on his face. Zack looks at Sebastian in disbelief "this isn't your house, this was Trinis! And now it is mine!" he says, trying to kick Sebastian out. Sebastian chuckles "oh, you don't know. I bought this house when I asked Trini to move in here. This place has been my house, under my contract! It has been my house even when my daughter was a child. The only reason why Trini got it was because of the divorce!" He stands his ground, claiming this place like it is his throne. Minh, overhears the conversation, she listens quietly. Eavesdropping on the whole thing. Zack grabs Sebastian by the shirt collar "you better get out of here, or I'm gonna call the cops!" he yells angrily to him. Sebastian pushes Zack towards the wall, Zack holds on to Sebastian while getting slammed into the wall. "No, you get out! I am here to claim what is rightfully mine!" Sebastian says while staring into Zacks eyes with hate. "Do I have to remind you of your ex fiance, Ally? And why she dumped you!" he says to Zack with a smirk. Zack pushes Sebastian, he falls onto the coffee table. Sebastian charges towards Zack, getting ready to attack him. Zack grabs Sebastian and flips him over, he is slammed onto the floor. "Keep my ex's name out of this!" yells Zack. Sebastian groans with pain, he still manages to say a few words "at least I didn't cheat on her!" He stands back up and locks eyes with Zack "You stole my wife!" Sebastian roars towards him. "You stole her from me! SO I RATTED YOU OUT TO ALLY!" Sebastian screams towards him. Zack lunges out towards Sebastian; they both get into a fist fight. They fight in the living room. Sebastian kicks Zack out of the glass door and straight into the backyard.
Kwan / Taylor Household - Backyard
Zack is kicked into the backyard. Sebastian jumps out and tries to thrash towards him. Zack rolls on the ground, he gets ready to do his self defense. Sebastian gets up and tries to punch Zack. Zack kicks Sebastian in the chest, he flies towards the bushes, hitting the back of his head on the fence. Zack walks over to him, he stares down Sebastian eye to eye "get out, if you know what's good for you" he says, glaring at Sebastian. Sebastian then kicks Zack in the knee, Zack kneels down, being caught off guard. Sebastian lunges towards Zack throwing a few punches.
"STOP IT, STOP IT!" Minh yells and screams from the top of her lungs. Both Zack and Sebastian stop fighting, they look to see Minh standing by the doorway. Minh is in tears. Sebastian gets up, he starts to come over to his daughter "Minh, pumpkin?" he says while taking a few steps away from Zack. Minh stops her father from coming over to her. "No, don't come over here!" She says, refusing to let her father go near her. Sebastian stops and looks at Minh "honey, please? I'm here to take you home…." He says, while trying to offer her a hug. Minh backs away, "no, I don't wanna go" she says feeling afraid of her father. Sebastian then looks at Zack and back at Minh, he says "do you wanna know why your mother and I no longer talk?" He then looks at Zack with an angry look on his face "it's because of Zack!" He then looks back at Minh "he screwed your mother. She cheated on me with him!" Zack is shocked, he didn't want Minh to find out this way. Minh is also shocked, she doesn't believe her father. Sebastian explains more "that's right, when you were at camp, your mother cheated on me with Zack! He and your mother hooked up a lot!" Zack looks at Sebastian with horror "Minh?" He struggles to say something, he knows he feels guilty about this "Your Mother, she was hurt…." He points at Sebastian "hurt by him!" He says to Minh, trying to defend himself. Minh is shocked and disgusted, she didn't want to know about her parents divorce this way. She has a hard time speaking, she turns around and leaves the house. Not saying anything.
Cranston Technologies - Billys Office
It is morning, Billy comes into work, he sees Kelly doing her job as a secretary. She smiles at Billy. Billy looks at the flowers on her desk, he smiles at her "another gift from Rocky?" Kelly looks at the vase and smiles, she looks at Billy "yes, he and I are getting pretty serious" she says, feeling like an angel. Billy smiles for his friend and his secretary. Kelly ends up acting serious towards her boss; she says to Billy "your friend Zack is in your office." Billy is confused why she said it this way. He walks into his office. Inside, he sees Zack sitting on the couch, he has a few bruises on him. Billy closes the door and asks Zack with concern, "Zack? Are you okay?" He asks with a worried look on his face. Zack shakes his head "no, Minh ran away." Billy is shocked. "What? How?"
Cranston Technologies - Command Center
Billy and Zack look through the scanners, there is no sign of Minh in Angel Grove. Zack beats himself up, feeling awful about last night. Billy goes over to him "it's not your fault, this could happen to anybody" he says, comforting him.
Alpha reads the scanners, he checks for Minhs communicator. The scanner shows that the communicator is back at Zacks house. "Ai yai yai, there it is, Minhs communicator!" Zack says to Alpha "no, she's not there, I locked her communicator up in a safe." Alpha puts his head down, feeling stupid. "It's okay Alpha, you didn't know…." Billy says, trying to calm Alpha down. Zack beats himself up, he feels that he let Minh down. Four colored lights teleport into the command center, it is Austin, Beverly, Sav, and William. Austin steps forward towards the trio "any luck?" He asks, feeling worried for Minh. Billy answers, "not a single clue…."
Alpha scans around the state, he searches for clues. There is no sign of the yellow ranger. Austin asks, "did Minh bring anything else with her? Anything valuable?" Billy and Zack think for a bit. Zack remembers, "oh wait. Her power morpher. Maybe she brought it with her!" Alpha scans through the whole thing, the morpher is nowhere in sight. "Aww, nothing" says Alpha, feeling bummed out. Austin suggests, "Let's go to your place, maybe it's untraceable!" Zack and Billy look at Austin, wondering what he meant by that. William steps in "I upgraded our power morphers, to make them untraceable by the bad guys." William feels guilty about the stunt. Billy looks at William not knowing to be furious with him or not "find a way to switch the morphers, make them traceable" he looks at Zack and Austin, "Zack, Austin, and I will look for clues back at Minhs place." Two silver and a red light teleport away from the command center. Sav, William, and Beverly sit in the command center like sitting ducks. William goes to the computer system and goes through the data, he looks for the morphers. "I'm gonna make us traceable, but this may cause some bad guys to go after us…." William says, trying to warn the Black and Pink Rangers. Beverly and Sav nod, they know it is risky.
Kwan / Taylor Household - Living Room
Zack, Billy, and Austin teleport to Minhs house. They look around the house to find any clues that can help look for Minh.
Cranston Technologies - Command Center
William goes through the data, he finds the data on the power morphers, he looks at Sav and Beverly and says "get ready, I'm about to turn on the location switch" he says with a warning. Beverly and Sav nod, William turns on the location switch on the power morpher. He then notifies Austin, "Austin, your location is turned on. Just look out for any bad guys that come your way"
Cut to the Kwan / Taylor Household
Kwan / Taylor Household - Basement
Austin answers Williams' call, he listens to Williams warning about his location. He responds "got it Willy!" He hangs up and goes through some boxes. He sees an old picture of him and Minh when they were in Preschool. He remembers meeting her for the very first time. They played on the swings together. And had cookies together. He even remembers their mothers scheduling play dates. Zack looks at Austin, he realizes how he feels about Minh going missing. He goes over to comfort him "hey, we'll find her. Minh is lucky to have you in her life" he says to Austin. Austin feels puzzled by the whole thing. He doesn't know what to do, he feels that Minh has helped him out, but hates that she ran away, he doesn't know where she went. Billy comes down the stairs, he asks Zack "did you by any chance lock up her morpher?" Zack realizes "no, I don't think I did!" They hustle up the stairs. A robo fly spies through the basement window.
Grande Morevils Lair - Base
Grande Morevil spies from his robo fly, he views it from the screen. "Well, well. A power ranger has gone missing. This is gonna be good!" He says with an evil grin. Telegator asks his boss "shall I send down a monster?" Grande Morevil responds "no, lets send down some Tux Rucks" he says with a laugh. Telegator mutters to himself "a monster would've been easier…."
Kwan / Taylor Household - Living Room
Austin observes the damages caused by the fight between Zack and Sebastian. He drinks his coffee to think about where the power morpher has gone. "It's not in Minhs room, so she must've taken it" Zack says thinking about the whereabouts of the morpher. Austin gets curious, he asks Zack "say Zack, how do you know Sebastian?" Zack decides to explain to Austin how he knows him.
"It all started in Switzerland. Me, Trini, and our friend Jason were selected to go to the Peace Conference. After our flight, we were at the airport waiting for our ride, until Trini bumped into someone. She smiled at Sebastian for the first time. Sebastian was also another member who was at the Peace Conference. We all got to know each other and learn from one another. Sebastian came from a Prep School out in Connecticut. He was pretty excited to see more kids like us were selected to come to Switzerland. Jason, Trini, Sebastian, and I all got to tour the country. While Jason and I were teaching kids karate, Trini taught Sebastian Gung Ho, Mantis Kung Fu, and her love towards the environment." Austin interrupts Zack for a moment, he asks "what's Gung Ho?" He says, feeling confused. Billy explains to Austin, " it is the meaning of working together in Chinese" he says with a smile. Zack nods at Billy and then explains to Austin about how he knows Sebastian "He was interested in her teachings. They both taught other kids the meaning of working together or "Gung Ho" which is what brought those two together. When the Peace Conference was over, I went to Washington D.C. to live with my parents, Jason went back to Angel Grove, and Trini started Prep School with Sebastian. They fell in love, got married, and had Minh" Zack says to Austin. Austin is surprised by the whole thing. He never knew that Sebastian was also a part of the peace conference. "So, what happened? You know, to Sebastian and Trini?" Austin asks curiously. Zack and Billy frown, they think about Sebastian. "It's best not to know," Zack says to Austin. Austin eyes Zack "why? I'm old enough to know! I can understand!" Austin says, trying to understand what happened. Billy looks at Zack, "it's best for him to know" he says to Zack. Zack gets aggravated "no, I don't think it's a good idea!" He says to Billy. Billy intervenes "Sebastian and Trini were happily married, but Sebastian had a temper. He was stressed out. Trini was seen with a few bruises on her. She was hiding her secret from us. We had to intervene!" Billy says, explaining the situation of Minh's parents.
Austin stares at his coffee, he thinks about how Minh has lived an early childhood with so much drama. Outside in the backyard, a few Tux Rucks appear. Billy, Zack, and Austin stand up, they stare Outside of the door. "Just when I thought things were gonna be bad," said Austin. They storm Outside of the house to fight off some Henchmen.
Kwan / Taylor Household - Backyard
Zack, Billy, and Austin fight off the Tux Rucks. Zack fights off the Henchmen using his Kung Fu Dance Moves. Austin is impressed, he is so impressed that he almost gets knocked over by one of the Tux Rucks swinging its rod. Billy does a few flips and karate kicks a few of the Footsoldiers. Austin is blown away by his two mentors, he then grabs a gardening hoe and whacks each and every one of the henchmen. Fighting off each and every one of them using the hoe like a sword. He knocks off the Rods of every Tux Ruck pushing them over using the edge of the tool. The Tux Rucks disappear from the yard. Austin throws the hoe on the ground. "I don't think this is the last we've seen of them," Austin says.
Meanwhile, back at Cranston Technologies.
Cranston Technologies - Entrance
Grande Morevil teleports in front of the building, he looks around and sees a few people running and scattering away from him. Telegator looks around with a confused look on his face, "this is not where the rangers are located?" he says, wondering why they are here. Grande Morevil looks up at the building up and down. "This has to be where the rangers are at. This building shows it" he then looks at one of the dumpsters, he points his rod and zaps the metal bin. The Dumpster transforms into a monster. "Garbor, trash this building!" Grande Morevil commands the monster with a snarl. Garbor nods and throws trash bags around the building causing a few explosions.
Cranston Technologies - Command Center
The alarms go off, William turns on the viewing screen. It shows Garbor trashing the parking area of the building. Grande Morevil yells "Power Rangers! If you don't come out, we will trash this place head to toe!" William nods at Sav and Beverly. William says to the duo "go, I'll find Minh. You need to protect the command center." Sav looks at William, he asks "are you sure? You look like you could use a little help." William nods at Sav "go, you two need to help protect this place. I'll continue finding Minh" he says, turning some knobs and scanning around the area. Sav nods and says to Beverly "you ready?" Beverly nods back at Sav "always!" she says in response. Sav and Beverly look at the camera, Sav yells "It's Morphin Time!"
"Mastodon!"
"Pterodactyl!"
The Black and Pink Rangers morph and head into battle.

The Black and Pink Rangers teleport to the parking lot of the building. They stare down at Grande Morevil, Telegator, and Monster of the day: Garbor. "Looks like the trash needs to be taken out!" Sav says pointing at the three. Grande Morevil commands the duo to attack. Sav and Beverly are outnumbered.
Cut to the command center
Cranston Technologies - Command Center
William is struggling to find any sign of Minh, he doesn't know why Minh isn't found. Alpha freaks at the viewing screen "Ai yai yai. William, they're in big trouble. Sav and Beverly can't do this alone!" Alpha says, begging to get William to go. "But I hadn't found Minh!" William says, feeling worried for her. "Your friends are gonna be gone, if you don't help them!" Alpha says, panicking. William slams his fist on the desktop, he doesn't know what to do. Alpha intervenes "I'll find the Yellow Ranger. You go help the other rangers. I'll contact Austin!" William gives up and decides to go help his rangers. He looks at the camera with determination, he yells "it's Morphin Time!"
"Triceratops!"
Cranston Technologies - Entrance
The blue ranger teleports, he takes out his Thunder Blaster and zaps at Grande Morevil. Grande Morevil is taken down, thrown onto his back. "I have better things to do than let some freak show destroy the place!" William says, staring down at the leader of the group. Grande Morevil struggles but manages to stand up "you'll pay blue ranger!" He takes out his rod and zaps the blue ranger. William dodges the blast, he takes out his power lance. "Come on, let's see what you got!" William says while staring down Grande Morevil. They both fight each other staff to lance, like a sword fight. Beverly battles Telegator while Sav takes out his Power Axe and swings toward the monster. While battling Sav thinks to himself, he wonders what has gotten into William?
Kwan / Taylor Household - Living Room
Zack, Billy, and Austin all look around searching for clues. They wonder where Minh has gone. There is still no sign of her showing where she could've gone too. Austin's communicator goes off, he answers his communicator "what's up Alpha?" Alpha answers, "Austin, the rangers need you. They are at the grounds of the command center!" Billy and Zack gasp. Billy asks Alpha "how close are they to the command center?" Alpha responds, "they're at the entrance of the building!" Billy advises Austin to go and protect not only the building of Cranston Technologies but the command center that is a secret to the company. Austin nods, he isn't too worried about his mentors due to their experience as former rangers. He faces the camera and yells "It's Morphin Time!"
"Tyrannosaurus!"
Cranston Technologies - Entrance
Austin teleports over to the entrance of the building, he sees Beverly, Sav, and William all battling Grande Morevil and his goons one by one. Austin takes out his power sword and swings it towards Telegator, knocking him down. He then helps Sav out and takes down Garbor. Meanwhile, William, who is frustrated with finding Minh, takes it out on Grande Morevil. Grande Morevil, who has the upper hand, keeps swinging his staff towards the blue ranger. The blue ranger takes out his blade blaster and fires it towards Grande Morevil. Grande Morevil jumps and spins around, dodging the blasts. William fires again, Grande Morevil dodges again, this time it hits him in the knee. Grande Morevil drops his staff. William, furious with rage, swings his power lance towards the scaly figure. Williams' power lance glows with a blue aura, he strikes Grande Morevil. Grande Morevil rolls to his stomach, he tries to get up. The Blue Ranger points his staff towards Grande Morevil.

The Power Lance continues to glow with the blue aura, the Triceratops Power Coin glows blue the sound of the Triceratops Roars with power. William strikes down Grande Morevil. Grande Morevil is brutally injured. He moans with pain. "Owww! Owwww! My knee!" cries Grande Morevil. Grande Morevil is crying in pain. His right knee is badly damaged. "Your Left knee is up next!" Yells William. Telegator fires a leaf rage towards William. William falls and rolls, being caught off guard. "Better get you to the infirmary!" Telegator says as he hustles towards his master. He carries him on his shoulder and teleports back to base. Gabor gets up and yells "hey, what about me?!" The Red and Black Rangers stare down the walking dumpster. "We'll take care of you," says Austin. He and Sav both take out their Thunder Blasters. They fire it towards Garbor. Gabor flies towards the edge of the parking lot. Beverly fires her power bow towards Garbor. The walking dumpster explodes, then the armor plates on Garbor glow red. Smog pops out and seeps back into him. Garbor grows into a giant.
"Just when I thought it was gonna get worse" Austin says, he then communicates to the command center "Alpha, we need Dinozord Power, Now!" The zords come out of their stations and head near the command center. "Rangers, the SaberTooth Tiger Zord is under autopilot!" Alpha says to the rangers, letting them know. The rangers teleport into their cockpits. "This giant dumpster is going down, we need to combine into Megazord Mode!" The zords combine, transforming into the Megazord (tank mode). The Megazord fires their lazers towards the dumpster. "Lets get his legs" commands Austin. "Right!" the three rangers say in agreement. The cannons lock on to the legs, "Fire!" yells Austin. The cannons hit the legs of Garbor, he goes down. "Switching it to battle mode!" says Austin. The Megazord transforms into battle mode. "Thunderpunch, lets go!" commands Austin. The Megazord punches the dumpster with its fist surrounded in static electricity. The exposed face of Garbor is hit. "Mega Power Sword!" says Austin. "Right!" says the rangers in agreement. The power sword teleports into the megazords hand. The sword is surrounded in a red glowing aura striking down Garbor.
Gabor is destroyed; after the explosion the dumpster teleports back to where it was and turns back to normal, like it hasn't been used as a monster in the first place. The workers at Cranston Technologies cheer on the rangers. The rangers teleport away from the campus. The workers record the rangers teleporting away from the area. A silhouette records the rangers from a far distance. He speaks into his microphone, "power rangers have been noticed. They are located somewhere close to Cranston Technologies" he says speaking into the microphone. The person on the other end of the microphone speaks back, he says "good, we will find those rangers and take em down once and for all."
Cut to a dark room.
Dark Room
The silhouette of a person turns around on his chair, he says "we will find those rangers and put an end to their disruption" it is revealed to be none other than Mayor Stone.
Mayor Stone looks at the pie chart on his computer. There is a huge budget for his own personal finance "Kyler Stones Personal Budget" and another budget that is low, but still higher than the rest of the city budget, it says: Power Ranger Investigation. Mayor Stone pages Shelly, she comes into the room. "Shelly, make sure everything is copied down. I do not want this data to fall into the wrong hands" Mayor Stone gets up and walks out of the room. Shelly looks at the data, she observes the whole pie chart.
Cranston Technologies - Command Center
The rangers look all over the map. William asks Alpha "Alpha, any luck?" Alpha puts his head down feeling bummed, "no William. I tried my best…." William hugs Alpha. Austin slams his fist to the desktop. Beverly hugs Austin from behind, she regrets feeling jealous of Minh. Zack and Billy feel bummed out as well. "We gotta know where she is? Minh couldn't have wandered off this far…" Beverly says, feeling worried for her. Austin hugs Beverly tight. Sav teleports out of the command center.
Angel Grove Park
Sav teleports to the park, he throws rocks towards the lake. Sav stares down wondering where Minh could be. He thinks about her whereabouts. "Minh? Where are you? Please be okay?" He says this while staring at the lake. Sav takes out a picture of him and the group from their time at the mall. Then he takes out a picture of him and Minh from the photo booth. Sav and Minh are both goofing around during their time in the photo booth. Sav stares at Minhs beautiful smile, he knows deep down that he loves her more than just a friend. He likes her more than all of the girls he has hooked up with. "Where are you Minh?" He says this while staring at the picture.
Downtown Kansas City
It is nighttime, a hooded figure steps off of the bus, she pulls down her hood, it is revealed to be Minh. She unzips her jacket. Minh is wearing a black sparkling crop top. She looks and sees all of the college students heading over to the bars. Minh pretends to be a college student. As she heads to the doorway, she is stopped by a bouncer. The bouncer asks "ID?" he stares down at Minh. Minh takes out her ID, the ID shows a picture of Minh, but her name is under her Moms, showing her Moms name and date of birth. The bouncer lets her in, he then asks the next college kid for his ID. The ID is fake, he pushes the kid out of the bar territory.
The Pit
Minh steps into the bar called "The Pit" she looks around wondering where to go. There is an empty spot on the counter, she goes over to it and sits down on the stool. The bartender looks at Minh, he hasn't seen her before so he asks her what to have to drink "is there anything you would like to have?" he asks with a cheerful smile. Minh thinks for a second, she doesn't know what to drink. The bartender smiles, he shows her the recommended drinks "here is a few I would highly recommend" he shows her the list of drinks. Minh looks at the menu, it shows the amount of alcohol that it contains in the drinks. One drink stands out to her, she asks for the special drink. The bartender looks at her, he says "you sure? It has a lot of alcohol in it?" he says with a concerned look on his face. Minh eyes the bartender "yes! I'll do it!" she takes out her money, knowing the cost. The bartender starts making her drink. The Fire Dragon: mixed with Fireball, Vodka, Gin, Whisky, Cranberry, Fruit Punch, Tabasco, Satans Rage, and a Hint of Lime. The drink is served in a giant fishbowl. The crowd looks at Minh. The Bartender grabs a microphone and rings the bell, he yells "we got ourselves a challenger!" The crowd looks at Minh and her drink. "This girl will be drinking The Fire Dragon!" the Bartender announces. The college students gaze. Minh is nervous, she wants to back out but doesn't wanna step away, she then grabs the Fish Bowl, throws the straw on the ground, and chugs it as hard as she can. The Frat Boys chant" Chug Chug Chug Chug!" the crowd cheers her on. Everyone joins in on the Chug Chug Chug chant. Minh wants to stop, but keeps going, she keeps chugging without stopping. Everyone gazes at her. Minh chugs and chugs, she keeps drinking, thinking about her father, Zack, and all of the troubles back at home. She wants to forget about her troubles. Minh drinks until the fish bowl is empty. She stands on top of the stool roaring with victory, the crowd cheers her on. Minh jumps off of the stool and crowd surfs. Minh forgets everything and dances the night away. More and more people buy her drinks, college boys, college girls, even a bartender who just got off of his shift buys her a drink. Minh dances, grinds, and makes out with a few boys. She dances until everything goes black.
