While the Rangers were facing the Machine Empire for the last time, Zedd and Rita watched from somewhere on the moon. After the battle they celebrated the Rangers victory.
"No more mechanical bucket of bolts to get in our way," Rita said.
"Yes isn't it great?" Zedd asked.
"The Rangers now do not have a way to destroy us," Goldar said.
"For once Goldie you are right. Say didn't King Mondo have another son?" Rito asked.
"You sure do know how to ruin a good time," Goldar said.
"Sometimes I think you were born without a brain," Rita said.
"YOU FOOL! THANKS FOR THE REMINDER OF PRINCE GASKET!" Zedd yelled.
The next morning, all of the Rangers and Billy took Aisha to the airport.
"I wish you didn't have to go back," Rocky said.
"I wish I didn't have to either. I miss being here and being a Ranger, but right now my life is in Africa. If things go well I might attend college here in California," Aisha said.
"Great!" Everyone said in unison.
Meanwhile word of the destruction of King Mondo spread through out the galaxy.
"Father and mother have been destroyed by the Power Rangers? Come Archarenia, it is time to take our place as the new head of the Machine Empire!" Prince Gasket said.
"Dear, what about my father?" Archarenia asked.
"The feud was between our fathers, with my parents and little brother out of the way, the empire needs a strong leader to finish what my father started," Gasket said.
Almost a week after the prom, the Rangers met Billy in the Power Chamber.
"What is the problem Zordon?" Tommy asked.
"The Machine Empire has a new leader. Behold the viewing globe. His name is General Venjix, he was one of the top general's under King Mondo," Zordon said.
"I had a feeling we were not done with the Machine Empire," Tommy said.
"That is not all. Our sensors indicate King Mondo's eldest son Prince Gasket remains and is on his way to the Machine Empire's base," Zordon said.
"Let me guess, he wants to be the new leader?" Adam asked.
"Yes," Alpha said.
"Just when I thought things would get easier," Kim said.
"He has wasted very little time. Some cogs are at the quarry," Zordon said.
The Rangers morphed before they left. They made quick work of the cogs.
"I wonder what that was about?" Kim asked.
"I am sure we will find out soon," Tommy said.
"I hope we do not have a monster attack on Saturday," Adam said.
"Oh yea I almost forgot about the baseball game," Rocky said.
"How popular is baseball here?" Kat asked.
"It is one of the most popular sports here. Besides basketball, and football," Kim said.
"Ours is not like what you have back home. I do not know a lot about the football you have back in Australia, but I do know it is somewhat different," Adam said.
"Speaking of Australia, Todd is turning out to be a nice ball player," Rocky said.
"He told me where we came from not many people our age play it. We have it back home, but cricket and rugby are more popular," Kat said.
"So where is the game at?" Tommy asked.
"Reefside California," Adam said.
"Where is that?" Kat asked.
"It is pretty far away. We are playing in a tournament up there," Rocky said.
"Yea we will be there all day. The host team and another local team play first at 10:00. We play Stone Canyon after that. The two winners play at 6," Adam said.
"Good luck," Tanya said.
"Thanks," Rocky and Adam said in unison.
"Hey Tommy why didn't you go out for the baseball team? We heard about your time as the starting quarterback for the football team," Adam said.
"I don't know man. At first I wasn't into any other kind of sports other then martial arts. Then Ernie helped me train. Jason, Billy, and Zack helped me enjoy football. Since then I have also enjoyed baseball, basketball and hockey," Tommy said.
Up on the moon, Prince Gasket was watching the Rangers.
"So the male Rangers like a silly little game called baseball? They won't like it after I use it to destroy them," he said.
"What do you have plan?" Archarenia asked.
"This monster will test their baseball skills," Gasket said.
"I'll inform General Venjix," Archarenia said.
The next day, the Rangers and their classmates were about to head to their classes after lunch when the monster appeared in one of the hallways. It wore a black baseball uniform with a red number 0 on the front and back. His head was shaped like a baseball and his arms looked like wooden bats. To go along with the uniform, the monster had a black baseball cap with the letters M and E in red. Kat was with Todd when the couple saw students running out of the building. The two got close to Todd's locker when they saw the monster.
"We have to tell the others," Kat said.
"I agree," Todd said.
Before they turned the corner, they met up with Rocky.
"Hey guys, do you know why people are running outside?" He asked.
They pointed to the monster.
That thing is not exactly Mr. Met.Rocky thought.
When Kat noticed they were the only ones in the hallway she said," Todd please go get the others. Rocky and I will hold of the monster until the others get here."
Without saying a word, Todd went to look for the rest of the team. After making sure nobody was around, Kat and Rocky morphed. She summoned her Power Disc in hopes to deflect and shots from the monster back towards him. The two lead the monster outside while keeping the building un harmed. A short time later, the rest of the team arrived already morphed.
"Nice timing guys," Rocky said.
"We got held up," Tommy apologized.
"Batter up!" The monster said.
After a lengthy battle, the Rangers formed the Zeo Blaster. After a few seconds, nothing happened. A little over a minute went by before the monster re formed and grew.
"I guess nobody knew what to do next," Tommy said.
"It is time for the double header," The monster said.
The Rangers formed the Zeo Megazord. After none of the blast from the battle helmets worked, they called for the Super Zeo Megazord. The monster was eventually destroyed.
The next morning Todd, Adam, and Rocky went to Reefside with the baseball team. Billy and the rest of the Rangers made the long trip for the games. In game one, Reefside beat visiting Blue Bay Harbor 2-1. In game two, Angel Grove beat Stone Canyon 5-0. After the game, the team had a meal at a local restaurant. After that Todd, Adam, and Rocky got to spend a little bit of time with the Rangers and Billy before the championship game and they went to a local park. While hanging out, a red soccer ball rolled up to Tommy. A few seconds later, a Caucasian boy about, ten or eleven, with shaggy brown hair ran up to him.
"Can I have my ball back?" The boy asked.
"Sure kid," Tommy said.
"What's your name?" Kim asked.
"I'm Conner. I need to go now. my mom told me not to talk to strangers."
Conner ran off before Kim said," He seems like a good kid.
"I know. I hope he is still a good person when we gets to be our age," Tommy said.
While at the park Kim pointed out to Tommy a little Caucasian girl about the same age, with long wavy dirty blond hair, setting on a bench playing a guitar.
Hopefully she will stick with that as she gets older," Tommy said.
A short time later, Adam, Todd, and Rocky left to head back to the baseball field. Angel Grove won the final game 5-4 over the host Reefside. Everybody had a safe trip home.
