ZORDON
Page Two
Tommy, Jason, Billy, Trini, Kimberly, and Zack are in the Command Center. Tommy is still having difficulty accepting the fact that Rita can take his powers. I don't believe this. Rita has linked my powers to a candle. Zordon confirms it. And if the flames burn out while in her possession, you will be stripped of those powers and they will belong to Rita forever. Kimberly steps forward and asks Zordon if there is anything we can do? Zordon tells them someone must journey into Rita's dark dimension and get the green candle before it burns out. Tommy immediately asks, how do I get there? Zordon replies, you don't. Your presence will only accelerate Rita's spell. Another Ranger must go in. Jason immediately volunteers. Tommy tells him to forget it. Jason tells Tommy, it's makes sense. I'm the only other Ranger that has ever been there. Tommy replies that it's dangerous. Billy reminds Tommy, that it's his only chance. Tommy still refuses, there is no way I'm going to risk something happening to Jason because of me. Jason tells Tommy, he is one of us. You're a Power Ranger. I'm not going to stand by and watch as we loss a teammate. Trini adds that Jason speaks for all of us. Tommy is overwhelmed by their concern and thanks Jason. Alpha 5 exclaims, Zordon, I found it! Tommy asks, found what? Tommy, Kimberly, Jason, Trini, Billy, and Zack gather around Alpha 5. Alpha 5 answers, the molecular energy patterns left by the Putties in the park Zack has no idea what Alpha 5 is talking about. Billy explains, Alpha's found the doorway to Rita's dark dimension. Billy gets to work. Soon, Billy announces that the molecular decoders are ready. Alpha 5 hopes it works. Jason is ready to teleport. Trini, Billy, and Zack are all ready to go. Kimberly feels bad about leaving Tommy behind. Tommy tells her thanks, he doesn't know what else to say. Kimberly reassures him that he doesn't have to say anything. Just know that you mean a lot to us. Kimberly joins the rest of the team and they teleport out. Tommy sends good luck wishes out to his friends. Later, Alpha 5 tells Tommy the portal will appear immediately, once the decoders have been activated. Tommy feels bad that he is not with them. Zordon tells Tommy, he must trust in his friends. Tommy does trust his friends. If Jason can get into the other dimension, I just know he will get that candle. The alarm in the Command Center goes off. Tommy asks Zordon, what happened? Zordon replies there's been an attack in a city near Angel Grove. Alpha 5 and Tommy look at the viewing globe. It shows Dragonzord in Fighting Mode attacking the city. Tommy doesn't understand - all our zords are on standby. Zordon informs them that it can only be an imposter. Rita's Cyclops monster posing as Dragonzord in Fighting Mode and assuming Dragonzord in Fighting Mode's power. Alpha 5 asks Zordon if he should contact the Rangers? Zordon replies, that is what Rita hopes we will do. While the Rangers are occupied, the green candle will burn down. Tommy wants to take on Cyclops. Zordon is hesitant, Tommy would be all alone against Cyclops. Tommy wants Zordon to give him this chance. I can handle it. Zordon decides to let Tommy into battle. Tommy morphs and teleports out. Unfortunately Green Ranger needed the help of the rest of the Rangers before Jason was able to retrieve the green candle. Cyclops was destroyed by Ultrazord. After the battle, the Rangers returned to the Command Center. Green Ranger gave his power coin to Red Ranger to prevent Rita from obtaining them. Zordon told Green Ranger he was a courageous fighter and an honorable man. Green Ranger soon demorph. His friends reassured him that he was still one of them.
Zordon contacts Jason. He tells him Rita has sent a monster to Earth. Teleport to the Command Center right away! Jason tells him he will get the other Rangers. The teens teleport to the Command Center. Jason asks Zordon what's happening? Zordon informs them that Rita has buried a bird like monster named the Hatchasaurus in the ground near the power plant. Zordon instructs them to observe the viewing globe. It shows a very ugly monster. Zordon tells them not to be fooled by it's appearance. It is controlled by an ultra intelligent internal computer called Cardiatron. Your mission is to get inside the Hatchasaurus and disconnect the Cardiatron. Trini and Kimberly are not looking forward to that. Zack asks how? Zordon tells them to have confidence in your skills. I know you will find a way and wishes them good luck. The teens morph and teleport out. The Rangers had thought they had destroyed Hatchasaurus, but they had not. The next day, Zordon instructs Alpha 5 to bring the Rangers here at once. The Earth is still in danger by Rita's monster. Alpha 5 quickly does so. Trini, Zack, Kimberly, Jason, and Billy are teleported to the Command Center. Zack asks what's wrong? Zordon informs them that the Hatchasaurus has not been defeated. Kimberly can't believe it. We totally shredded that thing! Zordon reminds them that they still have to destroy Cardiatron, it's computer. Zordon instructs them to observe the viewing globe. The viewing globe shows images of Hatchasaurus pieces reforming. Trini can't believe what she is seeing, this is impossible. Jason thinks they will need the Megadragonzord to take this monster down. Billy, Kimberly, Zack, Trini, and Jason are worried. The viewing globe shows images of Cardiatron. Jason comments, if we don't stop this thing, it's going to destroy the Earth. The teens continue to gaze at the viewing globe until Zordon reminds there is only one way to defeat the Hatchasaurus. Billy adds we must disconnect the Cardiatron. Jason, Trini, Billy, Kimberly, and Zack morph and teleport out. Eventually Cardiatron is destroyed by Red Ranger and his Power Sword and the Dragon Dagger. Hatchasaurus is destroyed by Ultrazord.
Alpha 5 is working in the Command Center when the teens arrive. Jason tells Zordon that horse thing is too much. The Rangers had been battling Polluticorn. Zordon confirms the monster may prove difficult to defeat. Zordon asks Billy to help Alpha 5 with the analysis while he briefs the others. Billy walks over to Alpha 5 to help. Alpha 5 tells him the data printout is coming out. Zack asks Zordon, what's up with this new monster? Zordon replies, it's all part of Rita's latest plan to destroy Earth. Zordon has the teens observe the viewing globe. Billy joins them. Rita has created this monster, the Polluticorn, to fill the Earth with pollution. Trini tells her friends, we can't let that happen. Jason adds, there's got to be a way to stop that thing. Kimberly agrees, but how? Alpha 5 is wrapped up in sheets of data and spinning in it. His cries catch the teens' attention as Alpha 5 falls to the floor. Billy and Trini help Alpha 5 back up on his feet. Trini uncovers Alpha 5 as Billy takes a look at the sheets of data. Billy tells everyone that Polluticorn gets his power from his horn. Zordon tells Billy he has done well and brings up the image of Polluticorn on the viewing globe. Billy, Trini, Zack, Kimberly, and Jason take another look at the viewing globe. Zordon informs them that Polluticorn is attacking the Angel Grove recycling plant. On the viewing globe, Polluticorn gloats that he can pollute the planet faster than they can clean it up. Trini tells her friends, we can't let him wreck that factory. The teens morph and teleport out. Polluticorn is destroyed by the Megazord.
Alpha 5 is watching the viewing globe which shows a news report with the Power Rangers attacking Angel Grove. Alpha 5 is convinced that the Power Rangers would never, in a million magnitude, join the forces of evil. Zordon replies, of course not. This is Rita's doing. She's reached a new low this time. The "Power Rangers" attacking the city were actually four Putties and Twin Man. The real Power Rangers arrived and battled their counterparts. As each "Ranger" was defeated, their true form was revealed. The four Putties were destroyed. The Rangers continue to battle Twin Man and eventually destroyed him with the Power Blaster.
Jason contacts Zordon and tells him they have an emergency. Zordon responds that he is already picking it up. A dimensional vortex beam, emitting from the moon, appears to have enveloped everyone in Angel Grove. Alpha 5 is working on the computers when he announces, he's got something. Zordon instructs Alpha 5 to lock the scanner on the dimensional beam and track it's coordinates carefully. Look towards any movement towards Earth. Alpha 5 looks at the viewing globe. Alpha 5 asks, how can the moon move? Zordon replies, the moon cannot, but Rita's palace can. Zordon informs the teens, if she brings it to Earth, as I fear she may, it will greatly increase her powers. Alpha 5 tells Zordon with Rita's palace right in down town Angel Grove, Rita will be ten times more powerful. Zordon asks Alpha 5 to activate the viewing globe. It shows Goldar, as Zordon had suspected. Zordon tells Alpha 5, with the power from Rita's palace, they have activated Cyclopsis, the war zord. It looks very bad indeed. Alpha 5 notes they hadn't seen Cyclopsis in ten thousand years. Zordon contacts the teens, and tells them they must morph to down town Angel Grove and activate Megazord. The Rangers have a difficult battle against Cyclopsis. Eventually Cyclopsis is defeated by Ultrazord. In retaliation, Rita blasts Titanus and it sinks beneath the ground. The teens retreat to the Command Center. The viewing globe shows Rita bringing back Cyclopsis and Lokar's return. Jason comments that Lokar is out of control. Zack adds it looks like Rita has reconstructed Cyclopsis. Kimberly asks Zordon, what are we going to do? Zordon replies, nothing until your zords are reenergized. Only then can you battle Lokar. Zack concludes if we stop him, we stop Rita and the others. Zordon has Alpha 5 scan the data banks for more information on Lokar. It may provide a clue to help you defeat him. Billy asks about all the people. Where are they? Zordon replies, our sensors indicate they are safe but out of reach in Rita's vortex. Jason realizes they are their only hope. Zordon tells them if they lose this battle, the citizens will be trapped in Rita's vortex forever. This was not news Jason wanted to hear.
Billy and Alpha 5 work at the controls as Zack, Trini, Kimberly, and Jason watch the viewing globe. It shows images of Cyclopsis attacking the city with Goldar inside. Zordon informs the teens, Cyclopsis is one of Rita's most terrifying creations. You have to defeat him in order to release the population of Angel Grove from the dimensional vortex from which Rita has them trapped. Goldar has taken over piloting Cyclopsis with backup from Lokar. This situation is grave. If you don't win this battle soon, Angel Grove and the entire world is doomed. Jason tells his friends, we got to stop that thing. Jason walks over to Billy and asks him what's the update on the zords? Billy informs him the zords are not fully energized. Alpha 5 adds the zords need another twelve hours to be at full power. Jason is very agitated. We can't wait that long. Jason gives the order that we'll take them at half power. Billy is stunned. He turns around and faces his friend. Billy tells Jason, if we do that, we risk doing serious damage to the zords. Jason doesn't think they have a choice. Zordon tells them there is too much danger in what they propose. Trini, Zack, Kimberly, Jason, and Billy stand in a line in front of Zordon. Kimberly asks him, what about our city? We have to stop it from being destroyed. Zack adds, not to mention rescuing all those people trapped in Rita's dimensional vortex. Trini also voices her concern. They are safe right now but, if we wait twelve hours, it may be too late. Zordon tells them that what they are asking has never been tried before. If the zords backups fail, you and everything in the morphing grid could vanish forever. Do you really want to try this? Jason replies, you know we do. Trini and Billy add their agreement as well. A few moments later, Alpha 5 puts in the coordinates and asks the teens if they are ready to morph to the city? Jason confirms that they are. Zordon tells them good luck and may the power protect you. Jason, Zack, Kimberly, Trini, and Billy morph and teleport out. After awhile, Zordon asks Alpha 5 for a status report. Alpha 5 tells him, the zords are safe and being reenergized. Zordon asks about the Power Rangers? We haven't heard from them in awhile. Alpha 5 informs Zordon that they have lost contact with them. Their communicator frequency is being blocked. Zordon tells Alpha 5 to keep trying. We must establish contact with the Power Rangers. Without their zords, they are vulnerable to Rita's attacks. Alpha 5 becomes alarmed and starts the frequency search. More time passes. Zordon asks Alpha 5 if he has had any success in finding the Rangers? Alpha 5 replies, it's impossible with their Communicators down. Alpha 5 has a piece of paper in his hand. He tells Zordon, he just found some fortunate information. It appears because Rita's palace is on Earth, our computers has been able to penetrate her data base. Zordon is pleased with this information. It means we have access to her book of spells and secrets. These files can help us reduce her power or even stop her all together. Alpha 5 gets to work right away to tie into her system. Later, the teens arrive in the Command Center and Alpha 5 is very happy to see them. Zordon asks them if they are alright? Zack replies, yeah, we're all in one piece. Zordon tells them there is no time to waste. We may finally have a way to defeat Rita. Jason asks how? Zordon informs them that Alpha 5 has tapped into Rita's data storage and discovered a weakness in Cyclopsis we can use. Trini asks, what do we do? Cyclopsis will adjust to whatever it fights. Change battle modes frequently and it will not be able to keep up. Zack asks if the zords are powered up? Alpha 5 replies, ready and waiting for you. Zordon continues, each time you change, Cyclopsis will weaken as it tries to adjust. Use this to your advantage Rangers. Titanus is now reenergized and ready for action. When the time is right, call on the power of Ultrazord. If you fire at Cyclopsis in it's moment of weakness, you will be able to destroy it. Jason tells his friends, there's no time to lose. Zordon tells them, may the power protect you. Remember the quicker you change modes, the weaker Cyclopsis becomes. The teens morph and teleport out. The plan works. Cyclopsis is eventually destroyed by Ultrazord. Lokar vanishes and his whereabouts are unknown. After the triumph appearance at the park, the teens return to the Command Center. They are in high spirits. Zordon tells the teens they have dealt Rita a serious blow and proven themselves to be the mightiest heroes on Earth. They had gone beyond the call of duty and saved the world from a terrible fate, and that although the danger had not passed completely, the teens could now choose whether they wished to remain Rangers or return to their regular lives. There was no question between. Jason, Zack, Kimberly, Trini, and Billy all wanted to continue as the Power Rangers. Zordon was very pleased.
