As the school year resumed, Billy, Adam, Kat, Todd, Kim, and Tommy found their selves in the same Botany class. After studying the basics of growing plants, the class got into groups of two. The teacher let the class pick the groups. Instead of Tommy and Kim working together, Tommy decided to work with Adam and Kim decided to be a partner with Kat. Which left Todd and Billy to either partner up some other people or they partner up. In the end, Billy and Todd decided to work together.
"Thanks for agreeing to be my partner Billy," Todd said.
"No problem man, I am sure that that the plants we have here are different then what you have back home," Billy said.
We will see," Todd said.
The class went to the school's greenhouse and started on their project. Billy made a special fertilizer he used on his and Todd's plant. Within two days, their plant had grown taller then usual.
"It appears the fertilizer has worked too well," Billy said.
"Either that or you have used too much," Todd said.
"Negative, I was very careful when I measured out how much to use," Billy said.
"Oh man, that must be some powerful stuff you used," Adam said.
"I have no idea what I did to make it grow so much faster then usual," Billy said.
"Let's see what it does to Tommy and my plant," Adam said as he and Tommy's plant was not doing so well,"
"It will be like a science experiment," Billy said.
"That sounds like a good idea, " Tommy said.
Billy poured some of the fertilizer into Tommy and Adam's plant and the next day the plant looked like it should.
"Let's try it on Kim and Kat's plant," Todd suggested even though their plant did not need it.
"Good idea," the guys said.
Almost a week after Billy used his fertilizer, his and Todd's plant has grown to be a foot tall, Adam and Tommy's looked like it should, and Kim and Kat's had grown three inches taller then normal since Billy put his federalizer in it.
"Aw so the ranger's tech guy and their friend have made a unique plant," King Mondo said. With a little help, it can work against the rangers," Queen Machina said.
"What an excellent idea," Mondo said.
"We sure could sure use something new after our rangers suddenly quit on us," Prince Sprocket said.
"Watch it there son," Mondo said.
"Sorry pop," Sprocket apologized.
A few days later, Billy and Todd's plant had taken on the appearance of a man eating plant.
"What did you guys do?" Kim asked observing it.
"We have no idea," Todd said.
"I hope the other plants do not turn into something like that," Kat said sounding worried.
"I think we need to take a sample of all three plants to the Power Chamber after school," Billy suggested as everyone agreed with him.
Right after school, Todd walked by the greenhouse when he saw six cogs break into it.
If only I had a communicator then I could reach the rangers faster. He thought as he went to go find one of the rangers. A short time later he found Jason.
"Jason, we have a ranger emergency, I spotted cogs breaking in the school's greenhouse," Todd told Jason.
"I will alert the others," Jason said as Todd told them thanks.
"Guys this is Jason, Todd saw cogs breaking into the school's greenhouse," Jason told them.
"I bet they are after our plants," Tommy said.
"I am on my way there also," Billy said.
"Why would Billy go to the greenhouse when he is not a ranger anymore?" Jason asked Todd.
"Billy and I have a project in there," Todd said.
By the time everyone got there the cogs had taken Tommy and Adam's plant, and they were about to take Kim and Kat's plant. One of the cogs got close to Todd and Billy's plant and the plant tore one of its arms off.
"I don't bereave it, it eats metal!" Billy said.
"Apparently so," Adam said.
All the rangers fought the cogs as Billy and Todd tried to get the remaining two plants away from them but the cogs managed to get all three of them.
"What was that about?" Todd asked.
"I am afraid to find out dear," Kat said.
"I am going to take these samples to the Power Chamber and if I find anything I'll let you guys know," Billy said as everyone nodded.
While Billy was at the Power Chamber, Tommy, Adam, Jason, Rocky, Kim, and Tanya went to the youth center while Todd went back to his place to feed his puppy before going to the youth center and Kat went with him. While on their way to the youth center, Todd and Kat encounter three plant looking monsters. Their legs and arms were plant stems and their heads looked like the heads of man eating plants.
"Zordon come in," Kat said.
"Yes Kat, I am alerted to the present situation, Zordon said as Kat let out a loud scream.
"Aye-yi-yi-yi-yi, that can not be good, Alpha said as he saw one of the monsters use a vine to tie Todd up.
"I will contact the others," Alpha said.
"Please hurry," Kat cried.
The guys were sipping smoothies but, Kim was starting to worry about Todd and Kat.
"You guys, I am starting to worry about Kat and Todd," Kim said.
"Maybe they decided to stay at his place and do a little…" Rocky said before Tanya slapped him in the back of the head stopping him in mid sentence.
"They would not do that," Tanya said as their communicators went off.
"We read you Zordon," Tommy said as they went to their usual empty hallway.
"Rangers, King Mondo has unleashed three monsters and they have Todd. Kat is battling them now," he said.
"We're on it," Jason said as they morphed and teleported.
"I guess we know what King Mondo wanted with out projects," Kim said.
Each ranger used their own weapon on each of the monsters with every hit the monsters took they healed up. Jason used the Golden Power Staff on one of the monsters while the other rangers used their Zeo Blades. Again all the blades did was cut some leaves off as they grew back.
"Remember, they have Todd," Kat said pointing to him who was almost covered up in vines.
"Billy we need you to teleport Todd to the Power Chamber and see if you can heal him," Kat said.
"In this situation, I could not agree with you more," Billy said as he pushed a few buttons as Todd teleported in a solid black streak of light.
"What how did the rangers do that do that to a non ranger? " King Mono asked looking on.
The rangers used their Zeo Laser Pistol's which had the same effects as the other weapons.
"What did King Mondo do to these things?" Adam asked.
The rangers used their Zeo Cannon which made a big hole in the monsters.
"It's time for the heavy artillery," Tommy said as he called for the Defender Wheel.
He got inside and pushed the buttons and the three monsters blew up as everyone cheered. Seconds later the three monsters grew. It took the Super Zeo Zords, the Red Battlezord, and Pyramids destroyed the plants. Back at the Power Chamber, Todd was on the medic bed as Alpha was trying to figure out how to return back to normal.
"How is he?" Kat asked with a look of worry in her eyes after the rangers returned.
"I can not seem to find the solution," Alpha said.
"Well plants breathe in carbon dioxide and they breathe out oxygen," Kat said.
"Kat, I think you did it," Alpha said as he closed up the medic bed and pushed a few buttons which filled the space Todd was in with oxygen and he started to return to normal. As soon as he woke up, he got out of the bed.
"What happened?" He asked.
"Our plants got turned into monsters and they try to capture you," Tommy said.
"I helped Alpha restore your body to normal," Kat said
"Thanks guys and to you little guy," Todd said before to Alpha and everyone before he hugged and kissed Kat.
"It was our duty to rescue you," Zordon said.
"Well, that did not work," King Mondo said.
The next day, the teacher let the groups start over on their projects because he understood that theirs got destroyed. They thanked him and decided not to use Billy's special fertilizer.
