The next day, Zordon called the rangers to the Power Chamber.
"Who is it this time? Zedd or the Machine Empire?" Tommy asked.
"It is neither," Alpha said.
"While there may not be an emergency, this matter is about Zedd and Rita. They have given up on taking over the Earth," Zordon said.
"Who is on their way here then?" Adam asked.
"No one that we know of," Alpha said.
"Then why did they flea?" Tanya asked.
"I am not for certain," Zordon said.
"We still have the Machine Empire to deal with," Tommy said.
"He's right, this is not the time to relax," Alpha said.
"We should be fine, as long as there are no more dragon monster," Rocky said.
Everyone looked at Tommy.
"What, I got caught up in the moment," Tommy said.
"We noticed," Jason said.
Meanwhile, the Machine Empire's new brass were planning their next move.
"What are you thinking about dear?" Archerina asked.
"What do you think? I am trying to figure out how to destroy those pesky Rangers," Prince Gasket said.
"What about we use Zedd's idea of a dragon monster?" Archerina asked.
"Hum, I guess. Send in General Venjix," Gasket said.
The two of them worked on an idea for a new monster.
"Yes sir, I'll get started working on a monster similar to Zedd's last one, but a little different," Venjix said.
"Can you bring Zedd's monster back? Archerina asked.
"I don't know," Venjix said.
"Oh look what I see, the pink Rangers boyfriend went into one of those things they call a phone booth," Gasket said.
"While he is in there, let's turn it into a monster to keep the rangers busy until the new dragon monster is ready," Archerina said.
"Excellent idea," Gasket said.
Gasket picked up a staff and shot a beam towards the phone booth. The new monster looked like a phone booth with white and blue arms and legs. The rangers, Billy, and Jason were in the park hanging out when Kat started to get worry about Todd not being with them.
"You guys, I am starting to get worried about Todd," Kat said.
"I figured you would by now. It seems unlike him to not be here," Billy said.
"I am sure he will be here soon," Adam said.
"Until then there is trouble to take care of," Tommy said pointing to a group of cogs.
The Rangers started fighting off the cogs while Billy and Jason fought off a few before they got away. "To bad these things are not as easy to defeat as Zedd's putty's," Billy said.
"Yea I agree. Speaking of Zedd's putty's, so much for them being tougher then Rita's," Jason said.
In the middle of the fight, the monster walked up beside Kat and said," Honey I'm here."
"Oh great, now I am attracting monsters," Kat said.
Before Kat did anything else, Zordon chimed in.
"Go ahead Zordon," Kat said.
"Rangers, the monster is not just any monster. Todd is trapped inside. Prince Gasket turned a phone booth that Todd went into," Zordon said.
An image of Todd appeared on the monsters body.
"Rangers, he is speaking the truth. I went to make a phone call, then I became this monster," the image said.
"This reminds me of the time Mr. Wilton was turned into a monster," Rocky said.
"Mr. Wilton the science teacher?" Tanya asked.
"Yep," Rocky said.
"Man that was a hard battle," Adam said.
"Zordon, how do we destroy the monster without hurting Todd?" Kat asked.
"Destroy the monster and Todd will be back to normal," Zordon said.
"I guess that is the only way," Tommy said.
"Ha, you puny Rangers can not destroy Sir Phone a Lot!" The monster said.
"Todd stop this," Kat said.
"Todd is not here my dear," The monster said.
The monster opened up the doors and quarters flew out hitting Tommy. The headset and cord flew out and wrapped around Kat.
"I'LL SET YOU FREE KAT!"Tommy yelled.
He used his sword to cut her out before the monster put up a challenge. Kim used her archer to injure the monster. While the arrow did hit the monster in the arm and cut part of the arm off, a new arm grew.
"There's only one thing to do. DEFENDER WHEEL!" Tommy called for.
When the wheel showed up, Kat stopped Tommy from getting in.
"Wait Tommy, Todd is my boyfriend. Let me help him," Kat said.
"Good idea Kat, go for it," Tommy said.
Kat destroyed the monster and as usual, the monster re formed and grew. The Rangers called for the Zeo Megazord. After almost being defeated, the monster wrapped a giant phone cord around the megazord. The Rangers called for the Super Zeo Megazord.
"Another megazord? How many do you have?" The monster asked.
"One more and I am not afraid to use it if I have to," Tommy said.
The Rangers made quick work of the monster, managing to destroy it. A soon as Todd returned to normal, the Rangers hopped out and ran up to him.
"Are you ok honey?" Kat asked.
"I think so, or at least I think I will," he said.
"We are glad you are back to normal," Tommy said.
"First I get captured by Zedd. Then I become an evil Ranger. Now Zedd turns me into a monster," Todd said.
"No dear, the Machine Empire turned you into the monster," Kat said.
"Just after lunch we learned that Zedd and the rest of the Adam's family fled," Tommy said.
"I guess we will never know why the left," Tanya said.
"Hey let's go to Ernie's," Rocky said.
"I'll contact Jason, Zack, Trini, and Billy," Adam said.
A short time later, everyone arrived at Ernie's Outdoor Cafe.
"Hey guys, what can I get you?" Ernie asked.
"We'll just have the usual," Tommy said.
"You got it," Ernie said.
"Do you think Ernie knows about you guys?" Todd asked in a whisper.
"It's possible, but he has not said anything," Kim said.
"Hey Billy, when Bulk and Skull used that device that almost found us out, why did you change it to say Ernie is one of us?" Kim asked.
"I don't think they would of suspect you as a Power Ranger," Jason said.
"While they probably would of thought the machine was not functioning properly, I pancaked and did the first thing I could think of," Billy said.
"That was funny it did make us laugh, " Trini said.
