Cranston Technologies - Command Center
Billy looks around wondering about his fellow rangers. Minh teleports into the command center with concern.
"We need to find those things. Anything to keep track of their leader" said Minh. Billy turns over to Minh "We have bigger problems, the rangers are disappearing." Billy says this with a worried look on his face. Minhs face drops with concern "what?" Minh says this feeling worried about her Uncle Zack and the other rangers. Rocky teleports into the command center. Minh walks over to Rocky and asks him "Rocky, whats going on?" Rocky shows Jasons morpher to her and Billy "Jason has vanished, I got his morpher before that monster could take it". Billy and Minh are shocked.
Cut out to the Road.
The Road
Austin and William are driving down the road, they head over to Cranston Tech. William faces the road with determination. Austin asks William "what about school? What will Mr. Crandall say?" Austin gets a text. The text says "classes will be canceled the rest of the day due to a monster attack at the school". "Never mind" said Austin. Austin wonders about the whole thing "why did that yellow ranger sound familiar? And who is this Billy guy?" William ignores Austins questions "forget about the yellow ranger, you can crush on her later." Austin looks at William with a dumbfounded look on his face, "I'm not saying that." He stares down the road and looks at the yellow line. "It's just that voice, it couldn't be…." says Austin feeling curious. William looks at Austin and asks "couldn't be who?" Austin looks at William and says "never mind, she's not that type". He changes the topic and asks "so what about this Cranston Tech? You think they could help the power rangers?" William sees the building, he gazes at it. "Cranston Tech is better than McDaniel Tech, they have their resources." William says this while feeling determined to help the power rangers.
Cranston Technologies - Lobby
Austin and William walk inside of the building, they see a lady sitting down in the front desk. They go over to the desk. The Secretary looks at the boys with an odd look on her face. Knowing that these two do not belong in this building. She asks them "May I help you two?" William talks to the secretary "we're here to see Mr. Cranston. We would like to talk to him about a new type of technology." The secretary points them to the exit. "Mr. Cranston is very busy, he does not want to have any visitors." The boys turn around and walk outside of the building "That was smooth" comments Austin. WIlliam gets an idea. "Not quite" William says with a smirk. He signals Austin to the side of the building.
Angel Grove High School - Football Field
Meanwhile at the school.
Beverly practices her cheer moves. She does a few flips on the turf field. Sav looks at Beverly, he goes over to her. "Looks like someone could use a little company" says Sav with a cute look on his face. Beverly looks at Sav with a oh my god look on her face. "More than I bargain for" says Beverly, being sarcastic. Sav sits next to her, he hands Beverly her water bottle. Beverly takes a sip. "Shouldn't you be out hitting on other girls" asks Beverly. Sav sighs "well, since the monster attack... Everyone has left school and Minh hasn't been found." Beverly looks at Sav with a weird look on her face "what is it about Minh that's special?" Sav, thinks but comes up with an answer "it's just that spunk she has, she's not afraid and can make a change towards her own life." Beverly looks at Sav wondering what he means by that. "What do you mean by that?" asks Beverly. "Her ability to adapt, she manages to change her hobbies. She went from a geek to a fighting computer tech freak. I remember her practicing some kind of karate or kung fu technique." Sav says this about Minh. "She's a whole different person and I dig that about her" Sav comments about her. Beverly doesn't get how Sav went from her to Minh. She asks Sav "How about that thing we had? You know, last year." Beverly looks at Sav with a suggested smile. Sav thinks about him and Beverly. "That was after you and Austin broke up. You liked him but you met me and went gaga" comments Sav. Beverly remembers Sav and their thing from last year. "You're always talking to so many girls. Do you have any girl that you can crush on without a simple hookup?" asks Beverly. Sav thinks about Minh for a bit, he is about to say something until more footsoldiers appear on the field. Beverly screams. Sav defends Beverly; he fights the footsoldiers.

"Those Footsoldiers are called "Tux Rucks" they are those Tuxedo Grunts that Jason and I have been fighting." Says Rocky. Minh realizes that these were the same footsoldiers that she has been fighting. She asks Rocky "Do you know anything else about this Morevil guy?" Rocky shakes his head no. He gets up from his chair "I need to get something to eat" grumbles Rocky. Billy laughs at Rocky, he says "The Cafeteria is still open. But stay in the building, we don't want you getting kidnapped". Rocky leaves the command center to get some food. Minh stares at Jasons morpher. An alarm goes off. Minh and Billy look at the viewing screen. The screen shows Sav fighting off the Tux Rucks.
