A big crowd had gathered as competitors got ready for Stone Canyon's Triathlon. There was a TV crew as well. News Reporter: In a few moments, we will begin live broadcast of the first leg of Stone Canyon's Triathlon. This grueling competition will begin with swimming, then biking and conclude with running. Tommy was standing with Adam, Rocky, and Aisha. Rocky, Aisha, and Adam were competing in the triathlon. Billy walked up to them. Billy: Hey guys! Rocky: Hey Billy! Billy: Alright guys, good luck! Announcer: Competitors please take your positions. Aisha, Adam, and Rocky passed their t-shirts to Billy and Tommy and took off for the lake, along with the other competitors. Kimberly walked up to Billy and Tommy. Kimberly had exciting news. The peace delegates would be making their decisions soon on who would be representing Angel Grove. Kimberly thought Billy would be an excellent choice. Tommy wondered what would happen to the Power Rangers if one of them was selected. Kimberly, Billy, and Tommy were a little worried. Then the race began and Billy, Tommy, and Kimberly cheered their friends on.
Inside his palace, Lord Zedd decided to take a look at what was going on. Goldar was with him. Lord Zedd noted the teens were not in Angel Grove and thought while the cats away, the mice will play. Lord Zedd decided he would quietly enslaved the world while the teens were gone.
Bulk & Skull are sitting in a row boat in the middle of the lake. Bulk has a new invention to track energy. Bulk is sure Power Rangers have higher energy readings than a normal human. Bulk has the device aimed at the group of competitors swimming their way. Skull is pretending to fish, until he thinks he has a bite. At first Bulk ignores him until Skull tells him he has a whale. Bulk gets up to help Skull. Lord Zedd then teleports Bulk's device, basket, and fishing rod out. Bulk & Skull fall into the water. They make it back to their row boat and Skull notes the fishing pole is gone. Bulk tells him his dad is going to kill him again and Skull goes under the water.
Lord Zedd is ready to put his plan into action. Goldar wants to help, but Lord Zedd silences him. Lord Zedd creates Beamcaster from the items he took from Bulk & Skull's rowboat. Beamcaster immediately begins putting under Lord Zedd's spell and the citizens are ready to do Lord Zedd's bidding. In the Command Center, Alpha 5 tries to contact Tommy. Meanwhile, the competitors have just finished the swimming section of the triathlon. Adam, Aisha, and Rocky are in the lead. They run over to their friends, Tommy, Billy, and Kimberly. With all the noise, Tommy doesn't hear his communicator. Alpha 5 is distressed as he tells Zordon Tommy is not responding. Zordon tells Alpha 5 to contact Jason. Jason, Trini, and Zack had been scuba diving. Zordon alerts Jason to Lord Zedd's newest plan. The three immediately morph and head over to the park. Yellow Ranger, Red Ranger, and Black Ranger are ready to battle Beamcaster. Instead Beamcaster hits them and they are under Lord Zedd's spell. In the palace, Lord Zedd is very pleased until Goldar mentions the Rangers. Tommy, Kimberly, and Billy are not under the spell. Lord Zedd becomes angry and sends down several putties to take care of Kimberly, Billy, and Tommy. The putties arrive and the three teens began battling them. Aisha, Adam, and Rocky who are doing the bicycling section of the triathlon and are in the lead, stop their bikes. Adam, Rocky, and Aisha join Billy, Tommy, and Kimberly in their battle against the putties. The six teens battle and destroy the putties. Tommy feels bad that it had cost Rocky, Aisha, and Adam the race. Rocky tells him there was no other choice. Zordon contacts Tommy and tells him they need to get to the Command Center. Kimberly, Billy, and Tommy teleport out. Adam, Rocky, and Aisha decide to go ahead and finish the triathlon. Inside the Command Center, Zordon fills in the three teens with out is going on. The viewing globe shows Red Ranger, Black Ranger, and Yellow Ranger in trouble as well. Tommy asks Billy if he can make a device that would reverse Lord Zedd's spell. Billy believes that he can and begins working on it. There is urgency because the longer the three Rangers stay under the spell, the harder it will be to break them from it. Meanwhile, the triathlon has continued with Rocky, Aisha, and Adam now trailing behind everyone else. Beamcaster continues to spread Lord Zedd's spell and it hitting the judges and the people cheering on the triathlon. Bulk & Skull are walking and Skull thinks it's pretty strange that their things just disappear. Bulk gets hit by Beamcaster and Bulk walks off chanting hail Lord Zedd, along with the rest of the crowd. Beamcaster then hits Skull. Skull walks off chanting hail Lord Fred. Back at the Command Center, Billy has finish the device. Billy would like to test it first, but there is no time. Tommy, Kimberly, and Billy morph. White Ranger takes on Beamcaster. Pink Ranger and Blue Ranger land further away. Before Blue Ranger can use his device the crowd surrounds them. Black Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Red Ranger tug on Pink Ranger and Blue Ranger. The device falls to the ground and gets trampled. Beamcaster then hits Blue Ranger and Pink Ranger. Pink Ranger and Blue Ranger are now under Lord Zedd's spell. In the Command Center, Alpha 5 becomes alarm as two more Rangers are now under Lord Zedd's spell. White Ranger tries to battle Beamcaster, but Beamcaster hits him as well. White Ranger is now under Lord Zedd's spell.
Aisha, Adam, and Rocky come riding up and everyone is under Lord Zedd's spell. Adam, Rocky, and Aisha get off their bikes. It's obvious something is wrong. They find Billy's mangled device and pick it up. Since Rocky is holding the device, the crowd thinks they are Power Rangers and go after them. In the Command Center, Zordon tells Alpha 5 the three teens must be protected. Alpha 5 teleports them to the Command Center. They are thrilled to be there. Zordon explains what is going on. Aisha believes she can fix the device and begins to work on it. It's not perfect, but it should do the job. Zordon directs them to hold it towards the viewing globe and direct it at the Power Rangers. Aisha and Rocky hold onto the device as it shots it's beam at the Power Rangers. It is difficult and not working. Zordon uses his energy as well and then the spell is broken for the Rangers. The Rangers quickly teleport to the Command Center. Zordon fills them in. Rocky gives Blue Ranger the device and the Rangers teleport out. The Rangers face down Beamcaster. Blue Ranger uses the device on Beamcaster, but it doesn't destroy him or break the spell. Beamcaster throws several explosives at the Rangers and White Ranger tosses them back, in time to explode while Beamcaster has them. The Rangers use their weapons and destroy Beamcaster. Once Beamcaster is destroy, the spell is broken. Bulk & Skull are a little shaken. Bulk tells Skull lets go find the Power Rangers, and they leave. In the palace, Lord Zedd is furious that the Rangers foiled his plan.
The triathlon concludes with running. Adam, Rocky, and Aisha are last. Billy, Tommy, and Kimberly cheer them on until the finish line. Tommy, Kimberly, and Billy feel bad their friends couldn't have won. They walk over to Rocky, Aisha, and Adam. Tommy thanks them for their help and Rocky thanks them for sticking with them and cheering them on. Adam adds helping them was the most important thing they ever done. The six friends are in high spirits.
