Mighty Morphin Power Rangers:
The Next Generation
Season 2: Episode: 5
The Return of Zeltrax
Phantom Thieves Lair - Ballroom
The Phantom Thieves gather a piece of black chest armor along with a blue-bladed retractable gladius-like sword, they place it on the symbol. All of the candles are lit up, Silvia opens up a book containing spells. Woodward begins saying some words from the spellbook to bring back the dead he says "Shisha O Ikikaeru Seru!" while waving his hands. His hands slowly bounce back and forth from each other like he is forming an energy ball like a wannabe Dragonball Character. Silvia helps his genius scientist out and says the same chant along with him.
Omen is annoyed that they need another comrade. He sits on the loveseat drinking a bottle of whisky. Rave lies down on the couch in a seductive manner "oh, I do hope he is a nice one" she says thinking about the new comrade. She then turns over to Omen, "but you still make me feel special" she says to him, rubbing his thigh. Vassel is annoyed by Rave, wondering how she is still in the group. He punches the wall out of annoyance.
The symbol glows in a bright lavender aura, purple electro shock waves come out of the floor and zap all over the place. The candles blow out. Lights flicker on and off. The whole mansion shakes like an earthquake. Vassel wants to stop the whole thing, but Silvia encourages to keep the whole ritual going. Woodward and his leader Silvia continue to say their rituals. The ground keeps shaking and shaking. Vassel is starting to panic. Woodward and Silvia keep up the chants, the ground shakes harder and harder, the lights keep flickering, there is dust falling down from the ceiling. Purple shockwaves come out from the ground, hitting the remains of the armor. There is a bright lime green flash! The ground stops shaking, things begin to simmer down. The lights go back to normal. Smog comes out of the ground.
After the whole thing settles down, an black armored cyborg steps out of the smog, he eyes at the Phantom Thieves. Silvia smiles, he screams "he's alive!" like he is in a bad rip off of Frankenstien, he goes over to the cyborg "Welcome back, Zeltrax!" he says with excitement. Zeltrax looks around, wondering where or how he managed to get here. He points his sword at one of the Phantom Thieves, Vassel gets ready to attack. Woodward throws a net from his hand, restraining him from attacking the Manor. The net zaps Zeltrax while he struggles to get loose. Silvia smirks at the cyborg. "We will have more power in our group!" he says with excitement. Omen drinks the whisky, ignoring all of the action going on. Rave continues to rub his thigh, she eyes Omen seductively.
Woodward pulls up some old files he stole, it says "Terrance Smith" known to be 'deceased' to everyone. The old article in the obituaries section of the newspaper describes the accident at the lab causing his death. There are other pictures that show Zeltrax and Smitty in two separate photos. Including a copy of Mesogogs data showing his creation of Zeltrax. He nods looking at the cyborg.
Zeltrax wakes up, he wonders where he is at? He listens to the leader of the Phantom Thieves, who goes over to him. "So exciting, already wanting to fight!" Silvia says to him, looking down with excitement. Zeltrax squirms, but Rave throws a powder that calms Zeltrax down. "Relax, you're going to be great use to us" she says to him in a seductive manner. Zeltrax calms down, he thinks for a moment on his whereabouts "One minute I was at Reefside battling Dr. Tommy Oliver. Next moment, I'm here in this abandoned mansion!" he says in confusion. Rave answers Zeltraxs question "Why, you're in Angel Grove!" she says. Zeltrax steams with rage, he is familiar with the name of the town "that's where Tommy Oliver is from!" he says to her. The two Phantom Thieves load up a screen, it shows footage of the Green Ranger. "See this, that's the Green Ranger!" Silvia says to Zeltrax, he then adds on "you must destroy that ranger!" Zeltrax realizes who this is, not knowing who the identity really is. He begins to growl "Dr. Oliver! You will be destroyed!" he says. Zeltrax tears through the net and teleports out of the mansion. The rest of the Phantom Thieves are confused. "That was my good netting!" Woodward says, complaining about his hard work being ruined. "Oh quit your whining!" Vassel says to him. Omen gets up "you want me to follow him?" he asks the leader. Silvia responds to Omen "no, let him explore!" he grins evilly.
Downtown Angel Grove
Tyrannodrones damage the city, taking down a few traffic lights. One of the lights falls and lands on a moving car. The moving car crashes into a store, killing and injuring some of the citizens. Zeltrax sends some shockwaves to damage a few buildings. The buildings blow up into smithereens, some of the rubble falls on the screaming citizens. Zeltrax laughs "It feels great to be back!" he says with rage.
Grande Morevils Lair - Grande Morevils Base
Viewing from the screen, is Zeltrax and his Tyrannodrones destroying Angel Grove. The Tux Rucks are analyzing the data of him. Viewing from his armchair is Grande Morevil, he is outraged by another visitor.
The outraged Morevil slams his fist on the desktop "What is this?" he yells "another one of these! Does everybody wanna take over Angel Grove!" he screams. Clondurk asks its master "you want me to show whos better?" Grande Morevil nods "yes, go! This means War!" he says with anger. Telegator grabs a Peppermint and puts it inside of the machine "here, you'll need backup!" he says to it. Telegator presses the button to activate the machine, creating a monster. Clondurk takes a few Tux Rucks with it and teleports to the city.
Meanwhile
Grande Morevils Lair - Storage Room
Metallic Grant looks through some old files, he checks out everything that Grande Morevil has used to destroy some planets. He then sees a file on Planet Dusklin, the file shows a TOP SECRET on the two beings. Grant opens up a file, it shows some spare parts that was used on him and Darcine. He opens up a page that shows the destruction of the planet. And why it was blown up in the first place. Grant realizes what planet this is, he stares at the print in horror. "No, it can't be!" he screams in anger. The planet was revealed to be Dusklin, the home of Metallic Grant and Lady Darcine.
Angel Grove High School - Lobby
William looks to see that George is drinking on school grounds, he goes over to him "dude, put that away!" he says, scolding him. William whispers to him "are you trying to get yourself caught?" George laughs "maybe I am" he gets up and walks out of the building. A few other kids escort George out into the parking lot. William stands there, feeling worried for his old friend. They knew each other back in middle school. When he and Austin didn't have too many classes together. They would always hangout and join the computer club. George doesn't seem to show up to computer club or math club anymore. They also have robotics club coming up and George is the only one who can help strategize the meets. He goes over to his colleagues from his clubs. They all talk about why George is acting like this.
Cut to Austin and Tara
Austin and Tara makeout by the stairway, they keep making out until a teacher tells them that it isn't allowed on school grounds. Tara gets irritated, Austin wants to stop, but he refuses to let anyone get in his way. "These teachers are always getting in the way! I'll bet they never got any when they were in school!" he says to Tara. Tara nods "yeah, they don't know what love is even if it bit them in the ass!" she says to them. "I hear Mr. Crandall isn't even sleeping with his wife anymore" Austin says to her. Tara gasps "really?" Austin nods "yeah, he's probably getting some high school girls in his office to do some busy work!" he says to her. Tara responds "I wouldn't be surprised, he calls down some of the same girls to his office almost everyday." Austin agrees with her, not wanting to deal with any teacher. Just someone who can teach him how to lay back a little. Tara asks "you wanna skip?" Austin looks at her in shock "that's a crappy idea!" he then smirks "Let's do it!"
Austin and Tara start to skip school, they are about to head out of the door, until Tara gets a notification on her green phone. The phone is something that Tara fixed up herself, she found it damaged and abandoned so she fixed it up and made it into something useful for her ranger duties. She looks to see that she got a notification. The text shows an attack going on downtown. Tara turns on the surveillance camera, she and Austin look through to see that there are some Tyrannodrones. They both go to a corner to look at the phone privately. Austin is confused "Wait, these aren't Tux Rucks?" he says to her. Tara is also confused, "yeah, that's strange? What's going on here?" she asks. Austin escorts her to the broom closet, they go inside and lock the door "well, let's not just question it, let's go out there!" Austin says to her. Tara agrees with him "right!" she says to him. Both Austin and Tara look at the camera and yell, "It's Morphin Time!"
"Dragonzord!"
"Tyrannosaurus!"
Both Red and Green Rangers are fully morphed, they teleport to downtown.
Mr. Crandall unlocks the broom closet, "alright you two, get out of there!" he opens up the door, there is nothing but a broom and a few cleaning supplies. The entire student body laughs at Mr. Crandall. Mr. Crandall is confused, "I-I-I swear Mr. Jacobs and Ms. Oliver were in there!" he yells out of rage. Brick comments "such an idiot!" but accidently says it out loud. Mr. Crandall turns around and grabs Brick by the shirt, he yells "that's Detention for you Bub!" The Principal stomps away, he turns around to the students and yells "if you all want to join Brick in Detention! I suggest you all get to class!" He storms into his office feeling embarrassed by all of this. The students scurry to their destinations before they all get sent to detention. Minh stands there feeling confused, she wants to know what is going on with Austin and why he and Tara wanted to make the Principal look like an idiot. Her communicator goes off. Minh scurries over to find an empty classroom.
Angel Grove High School - Classroom
Minh runs inside of an Empty Classroom, she closes it and answers her communicator "what's up Uncle Billy?" she asks curiously. Billy, back at the command center, responds "I'm picking up a disturbance downtown. I want you to check it out immediately. I'll contact the others." Minh nods, she faces the camera and yells "It's Morphin Time!"
"SaberTooth Tiger!"
Downtown Angel Grove
Minh teleports downtown to see that Austin and Tara are fighting off the Tyrannodrones. She wonders what these things are, but has no time to question it, she joins in on the action. Minh takes out her Power Daggers and slices each and every one of the henchmen. The Red Ranger sees the Yellow Ranger taking down the Tyrannodrones, he nods at her "You came at the right time!" said Austin, he says this as he slices one of the Tyrannodrones with his Power Sword. Coming out of nowhere, Zeltrax sends a shockwave to the three rangers. He takes out his sword and points it at Tara. "I'll destroy you Dr. Oliver!" he says, eyeing Tara. Tara is confused, "wait what?" she asks, getting thrown off. Zeltrax charges, knocking Tara down. Tara gets up and takes out her Dragon Dagger. Both her and Zeltrax battle each other in a duel. Minh and Austin are both confused.
Clondurk and a Few Tux Rucks all teleport into battle, they go over to attack the rangers. Following them is Grande Morevil along with a Giant Peppermint with Greasy Claws sticking out from its fingers. Minh and Austin are annoyed "great, right when we have this weird knight!" Austin says out of annoyance. Grande Morevil yells out "I'm the real villain!" he yells out as he charges towards the Red and Yellow rangers. Austin and Minh both have their own conflicts, but they set it aside to work together.
The Peppermint Monster throws a bomb, about the size of a football, and hits both of the rangers. They fall down. Grande Morevil takes out his own claws and strikes the Yellow Ranger right in the chest. Austin panics when he sees his friend injured, he takes out his power sword and hits Grande Morevil right in the torso. Morevil kneels down in pain, holding on to his stomach. Austin says to the being "you really do suck at this" with a snicker. Grande Morevil is raging with anger, he jumps up and claws at the Red Ranger. Austin blocks him using his power sword. The Peppermint Monster throws his bombs at the red ranger, Austin is hit. Tara looks at him, panicking for her boyfriend. They are all outnumbered, by the amount of villains and footsoldiers. Tara is unable to help her boyfriend. Zeltrax slashes her, Tara plays her dragon flute, sending shockwaves to him. Zeltrax is hit, Tara uses her dragon dagger to battle Zeltrax.
More Rangers teleport into battle, Sav battles Clondurk while William and Beverly battle the Tux Rucks. Clondurk and Sav battle it out in a duel. Clondurk uses its cannon arm while Sav uses his Power Axe (in cannon mode) to counter the blast. Beverly and William use their Thunder Blasters to take down the Tux Rucks and Tyrannodrones.
Austin battles the peppermint monster, he comments "irony, that you are a stinker when you're supposed to be minty!" The Peppermint Monster facepalms, Austin sees an opening and slashes the monster. The monster flies twenty feet back. Grande Morevil pushes Minh away and yells out "BomberMint, don't let his unfunny puns distract you!" he yells out in anger. BomberMint gets up and throws a bomb at Austin, he falls back. Tara looks to see Austin fall down, she yells "Austin, no!" Zeltrax stops for a second, he doesn't recognize the voice at all, it sounds nothing like his former colleague. "Wait a minute? Tommy Oliver sounds nothing like a girl!" he says to her in confusion. Tara gets up, she kicks the confused Zeltrax right in the pelvis. She then does a backflip and slashes Zeltrax. Zeltrax flies ten feet back in the air and falls on the ground. Tara says to him "no, I am his daughter! Tara Oliver!" Zeltrax is enraged, he gets angry and teleports away from the battle, leaving Tara confused.
Sav swings his power axe at Clondurk, knocking him down. The remaining Tux Rucks and Tyrannodrones all fall down, Beverly and William feel proud of themselves for taking care of the henchmen. Austin and Minh both take down Grande Morevil and the Peppermint Monster. Morevil yells out "We'll be back!" they all teleport in a purple smog. Austin goes over to Tara "why did that thing call you Dr. Oliver? And who was he?" he asks curiously. "Dr. Oliver? Whos' that?" asked Beverly. Sav puts two and two together "oh, I think he's referring to Taras dad" he says to Beverly. William doesn't stick around, he teleports back to school. The remaining five all look at William, feeling concerned for him. "That's not like him?" Beverly says to the group. Austin wants to go after him, but is more curious about Tara and her Dad. Austin asks her "Why is that… thing after you? Or your dad for that matter!" Tara is confused "I don't know?" she then gets an idea "but I think someone I know does!" Sav and Beverly stay back to help protect Angel Grove, incase of the Phantom Thieves or Grande Morevil come back. William, having his own problems, deals with George who needs him. Tara, Austin, and Minh all head over to Reefside.
Cut to Hayleys Cyberspace
Hayleys Cyberspace
Tara leads Austin and Minh into the cafe. Austin is surprised to see the whole cafe. "Woah, so your mom owns this palace!" he says, thinking how much this place is like a palace. Tara nods "yep. I used to come here all the time" she then goes to the counter to ask a worker "is my mom here?" the worker turns around, looking at Tara in horror. "You're not supposed to be here?!" she says in horror. Austin and Minh are both confused, wondering who or what this girl is talking about. Tara sighs in annoyance "Katie, just tell me where she is?" Katie points to the back, Tara smirks. Katie says to her "you know I'm gonna call the police!" Tara ignores her, knowing her bullshit. Austin whispers to Tara "What was that about?" Tara responds "just someone who is a problem" brushing it off. Minh looks back, she sees Katie giving Tara a dirty look, she catches up with the couple.
Hayleys Cyberspace - Hayleys Office
Tara leads the duo to her moms office, the door says 'private'. She tries to turn the knob, but it is locked. Tara takes out a pin and unlocks the door, she opens it to see her mother making out with another woman. Hayley is shocked, her shirt is open revealing her bra. Tara is shocked, she is having a hard time processing what is going on. Hayley tries to explain to Tara, while buttoning up her shirt, but Tara dashes out of the cafe from the back door. Minh and Austin are both confused, they awkwardly catch up with Tara.
Hayleys Cyberspace - Back Alley
Tara runs out of the cafe, she already has to deal with her dad dying but now her mom coming out as gay. This is all hard for her to sink in. She runs crying in tears. Austin and Minh catch up to her, they wonder what is wrong with Tara. Tara tells them to go away. She teleports away from the duo. Austin and Minh wonder what is going on? They are confused on why Tara saw her mother making out with another woman. This is all too confusing to them. They turn around to see Hayley standing right behind them "You two are wondering about this, aren't you?" she asks them. Austin stutters for a bit but spits out a few sentences "n-no. Of course not! Y-You're fine" he says to her. Hayley bushes it off "you're friends of Tara?" she says to them. Austin and Minh look at her "Well, kinda" Minh says to her.
Cut to Hayleys Place
Hayleys House - Living Room
Hayley escorts the duo to her place. They sit down and have a coffee with her. Austin looks around, he sees some old pictures of a Young Tara. There are a few pictures of her and Tommy, when they were young. Austin goes over to the picture, he gazes at Young Tara and Tommy "so this is Tommy?" he asks Hayley. Hayley nods "that was them before they stopped talking." Austin is confused, wondering why they stopped. But this isn't the topic he is looking for. "There's this cyborg in all black, he has a semi demonic voice, called 'Zeltrax?'" he asks her. Hayleys jaw drops "Zeltrax?!" she says in horror. Minh and Austin look at her, "yeah, Zeltrax?" Minh asks her.
Meanwhile, Tara is hiding in her old bedroom, she overhears the whole thing. Nobody notices that she is in the house. Tara is concerned with the whole thing. Not knowing who this Zeltrax is but wonders why he is after her deceased father. She keeps her bedroom door open for about a peak.
Hayley gives out the explanation as best as she could. She talks about Terrance Smith, who used to be an old colleague of Tommys. How Anton Mercer chose Tommy over Smitty. Mesogog reviving Smitty after a lab accident, giving him a second chance in life to destroy Dr. Tommy Oliver. She even brings up the Dino Thunder Rangers and their adventures together. Even helping out with the Rangers and their Tech being their Second Mentor. Minh and Austin are impressed, they had no idea that Taras Mom is also a tech girl just like her. Minh brings up her Uncle Billy, Hayley knows exactly who he is. She congratulates Minh on her mentor being a great father figure towards her.
Tara listens in, not knowing how much her Mom and Dad meant to this world. She has some similarity to Minh, having a parent who is a former ranger, a family member who is good with tech, and how she takes their spot as a power ranger. Including when they took karate / kung fu classes from their parents. She thinks about the time when she was little. Discovering her Dad being a Power Ranger.
Flashback to Young Tara
The Young Tara is living in Tommys house out in the country. Tara wanders into her fathers office playing around. She plays with a skeleton model of a T-Rex, she pops the mouth open, revealing a secret stairway. She gazes at the rug popping open from the floor. Tara doesn't know what to think of this? She wanders downstairs, wanting to see what is down there.
Tara goes downstairs to see the lab of both her Mom and Dads. The Young Tara is surprised, she looks around to see a Black, Red, White, and Green suits in the tubes. All showing a Hall of Fame of Tommys old ranger suits (revealing DinoThunder Black, Zeo Ranger V, Mighty Morphin White, and Mighty Morphin Green). Young Tara gazes at the Green Ranger suit, it is her favorite out of all of the suits. She is in love with the Golden Armor plate on the suit. While gazing, she hears a voice coming from upstairs, it is the sound of her father calling out to her. Her father asks Tara if she is down there?
Flashback Ends
Tara has learned a lot from her younger years, discovering some old ranger forms that she has never seen before. Including the Green Dragon Power Morpher. That was when she learned about her father being a power ranger at a very young age. She looked up to him until Kat came into her life. She didn't know at the time about her mothers sexuality, only by the fact that both of her parents weren't married but were living together to take care of her. Tara not only feels awful about rejecting Kat but having those negative feelings about her mothers sexuality. She should feel proud of her mother and she is. She even thinks about how awful she has felt rejecting Kat as her stepmother.
Tara hears more about Zeltrax and understands about his negative feelings towards her dad. Zeltrax has pushed away people he thought he cared about. Especially since he was turned down by Anton Mercer for Tommy. Tara compares herself to Smitty, she realizes how much better she is than him. Based on Smittys antics, he destroyed himself only to focus on those he blamed for his own problems. Smitty blamed Tommy for his own issues, Tara felt the same way about Kat. Tara shouldn't feel the same way Smitty felt. She shouldn't be pushing away her loved ones. She already pushed her dad away, but it isn't too late to keep her mom, her stepmom, her half brother JJ, and her boyfriend Austin in her life. Especially Austin, who was the first to welcome her to Angel Grove. Tara is proud to have those people in her life, including her father.
Back at Angel Grove
William goes over to Georges house, he rings the doorbell. There is no response. He rings it again, this time it opens, showing an exhausted businessman with a beer bottle in his hand. The man is Georges Father, he looks at William "What is it William?" he asks him in his drunken state. William feels the breath of George's father, it smells like he has had way more than one beer. "I was just wondering if George is home?" he asks. George's father stands there, trying to process what William has just said. William is about to ask again, but George's Mother shows up at the doorstep, "Oh, Hi William!" she says with a smile. Her eyes are baggy, trying to keep a straight smile on her face. Georges Father looks at her "honey, do you know where our son is?" he asks her. Georges Mother responds "Link's in Buffalo while Francis is up at Alaska." Georges Father stands there and yells "NO! Our Youngest, George!" he is about to tip over, but catches himself on the doorframe. Georges Mother responds "out with Mitchell" she then says William "Mitchell is an old friend of his from Preschool, they used to hangout until fourth grade." Geroges Father asks his wife (in his drunken state) "honey, y-you t-think Mitchell i-s-s is a-a is a bad influence?" he falls down, but gets back up barely. William gets concerned, but Geroges Mother says to him "leave him" she ignores William and steps into the house. She slams the door and beats her husband. William is shocked, he hears the screaming coming from the house, Georges father begging for his wife to stop hurting him. William hustles away from the porch and goes for a walk, he wants to clear his mind from what he has witnessed.
Neighborhood
It is afternoon, William walks around the neighborhood feeling down about his friend. A SUV speeds out on the road. Coming out of the car is Brick, he is steaming with anger "HEY!" he yells out to William. William turns around, he looks at the car, it is all beat up and scratched with some hints of yellow paint on the black car. Brick stomps over to William like a mentally insane person, he screams "WHERE IS THAT PIECE OF SHIT!" he points to his ride "THAT FUKCING GEORGE IS GONNA DIE!" he screams in rage. William realizes that George has vandalized Bricks car. Brick is angry with George "I oughta kill you for this! If you don't tell me where he is!" he yells out. William responds "that's the thing, I don't know where he is!" Brick is frustrated with William, not wanting to hear this answer. Brick grabs William by the shirt, lifting him off of the ground "then I will take it out on you!" he growls with rage. William isn't having it, he is about to get punched in the face, but grabs Bricks fist. Brick is shocked, he wasn't expecting a nerd to get ahold of his fist like that. William moves Bricks arm out of the way and headbutts him in the nose, dropping him to the ground. Brick tries to tackle William, but he dodges and grabs Brick by the waist and throws him over to his back. Brick lands on the ground pretty hard, damaging his back in the process. William leaves while Brick gets out of here, he already had to do detention, but going to prison would make it worse for him. The SUV drives away while William hustles away.
Phantom Thieves Lair - Ballroom
The Phantoms sit in the ballroom, they are annoyed by how long the wait has been. The Phantoms are wondering where Zeltrax can be? They know they sent him out there, but he should be back to help plot something against the Rangers and Morevils Group. Omen gets up from the loveseat, feeling annoyed "I told you all to send me with him!" he says to the group. Vassel agrees with Omen "he's right, reviving someone evil is the worst idea ever!" The four all look at the balcony, facing the door to Silvias study. "Silvia has been in that study for so long! Why is he just in there?" Vassel says to the group. "You know Silvia, he's always in that study thinking about anything" Woodward says to them. Vassel gets irritated "we're just sitting on our asses doing nothing, not even planning a plan b!" he yells out of frustration. Vassel gets up "anyone wanna come with me, is free to do so. I wanna at least destroy something!" he yells out of anger. Rave and Omen stand up, they come with Vassel "I feel like I'm useless, I'll come with you" he says to him. Rave feels up Omen "as shall I" she says to him. They teleport out of the lair.
Woodward looks at the balcony "what is he doing up there?" he asks to himself.
Phantom Thieves Lair - Study
Silvia sits there looking through the screen, he notices that the rangers are all separated. He then sees Zeltrax, he goes over to find him, teleporting away. He then turns over to the wall, he sees an old painting of their younger selves. They are all dressed up in the old wild west uniforms wearing their masks from the old days. However, there is a large tear in the middle of the painting. It looks like there was another member in the group. Silvia stares angrily at the large tear in the painting.
Angel Grove Youth Center - Back Alley
William walks over to the Youth Center, he wants to go inside from the back alley. While heading over, he sees George and a few other delinquents spray painting the back wall of Ernies. William sprints, jumping George as he is about to spray paint Frans car. George is knocked on the ground, feeling like he just got tackled by a bull. The can of spray paint rolls towards underneath a random car. George groans in pain, William gets up "you think this is okay!?" he screams at George. George gets up and sees who this is "William, you ass! This is about to be exciting!" he says to him. William looks at him "you mean prison!" he calls out to him. Mitch storms over to William "you got a problem with my guy?" he asks him. William pushes Mitch away "yes I do!" he says to him. Mitch and William get into a fist fight. The gang all cheer on Mitch. A few teenagers all come over to watch William fight Mitch, they all cheer on William. They exchange fists, hitting each other.
George, seeing all of this, snatches a baseball bat from one of the teenagers. He dashes over and damages Frans car. Fran goes outside to see all of the commotion. He freaks out at George "my car!" All of the teenagers look at Fran. They try to run away from the scene, but a few cop cars speed over, trapping them in the alley.
Cut to Hayleys House
Hayleys House - Living Room
Hayley guides the Yellow and Red Rangers to her lab. She opens up a secret door, and they go inside.
Tara sits down on the floor, she realizes how much her dad has meant to her. Taking his powers and rejecting the other rangers is something she has done lately. She steals the Green Power Morpher only because it was the first thing she saw as a child. Hacking into the computer system of Cranston Technologies just to use the Dragonzord and disabling the ability of Billy using those powers is another thing that was wrong to do. She then thinks about how her dad sacrificed himself to not only save everyone in this dimension, but herself as well.
Tara leaves the house, the door slams hard. Hayley, Minh, and Austin all hear the door slam. Hayley turns on the surveillance cam, it is Tara running out of the house.
Hayleys Cyberspace - Entrance
Katie locks up the place for tonight. While she locks the front door, Tara rushes over to her. Katie takes out her Pepper Spray, but sprays it at herself by accident. Tara grabs her, helping her up. Katie screams "take whatever you want! Please, don't hurt me!" Crying in pain. Tara calms Katie down "no Katie. I don't wanna hurt you or take your money!" She says to her. Katie is confused, "I don't have any clothes you can take! Please let me keep mi-" Tara cuts her off "no, I don't want anything! I am here to apologize!" She says to her. Katie is confused, she wonders if she is hearing this right?
Cut to after Katie settles down.
Reefside Park
Tara talks to Katie. She apologizes about ditching her in seventh grade to go hangout with the baddies, ditching her in the middle of nowhere for a boy, making her steal from friends for a getaway, or getting her caught at the water tower drinking, fighting and punching her at school, etc. Katie thinks back at what Tara has said. They realize how bad they were. "You know, you got me into a lot of trouble. Almost everyone at school didn't like your work, they only listened to you because you were pretty bad" she says go her. Tara nods "I know, but now I'm in a new school, trying to behave and make things better for myself since my dad died" she says to her old best friend. Katie smiles "I'm glad, although some people do miss your rebellious pranks!" She says with a laugh. Tara then asks Katie "remember when Principal Randall had her whole office duct taped?" Both girls laugh.
NOTE: Yes, this is the same Principal Elsa Randall from Dino Thunder. When she reverted back to being a human, she got her redemption and became Principal again. This time as a good person. And I do know that there was no 'official first name' for Principal Randall so I'm gonna say it is Elsa due to her villain name.
"They found someone to take over your dads job. It's an old friend of his" she says to her. Tara is interested "who's that?" feeling curious. Katie answers "Dr. Anton Mercer" Tara gasps, feeling surprised "no way!" Katie nods, "yep, he stepped in to take over for the year." Tara smiles, she forgot how lucky she is that her father has had some really great people in his life. They make up and pinky promise like old times "don't forget about me" Tara says to Katie. Katie says to Tara "and stay out of trouble" they both laugh.
Kat Olivers House - Living Room
Kat sees a young preteen sitting on the couch playing with his Nintendo Switch. She says to him "JJ, it's almost time for bed." JJ is annoyed, he wishes he didn't have school the next day "but Mom!" he says with a groan. Kat asks JJ "Did you get your homework done?" JJ responds, "yes Mom!" feeling annoyed by that typical Mom question. He goes to his room to get ready for bed. Kat straightens up the couch, she says to herself "I swear, that boy does not get that from me or Tommy." There is a knock at the door. Kat is confused "who could be knocking at this hour?" Feeling paranoid. She goes to the front door, she opens it. There is nobody there. She looks down at the welcome mat. There is a box. Kat is confused, on the top it says "To Katherine" she takes the box inside. Katherine opens up the box, it is a gift. She takes out a card, it says "Dear Katherine. Sorry about being a pain. I didn't realize how much Dad meant to you. I'm sorry about all of the troubled times I've caused for you two. And I'm sorry for rejecting you in my life.
