601-FON1.
- Some time after its departure from Earth, the Megashuttle drifted through space, no longer possessing the boosters which formed the Astro Megazord Blaster; the four
teens, looking through a window, were captivated by the view of a black
hole or wormhole, perhaps one
through which they'd just traveled.
- The teens were still anticipating a journey to Eltar when they were captured by the Megaship.
- After the Astro
Megaship had opened up and sealed the shuttle inside it, the four teens and Alpha soon found themselves in a corridor of the
Megaship, and they began exploring its
rooms, eventually ending up on the deck containing the workbay and bridge.
- Upon entering from the direction of the workbay and seeing T.J., Ashley, and Alpha on
the bridge, morphed Andros was startled; he backed away anxiously as
T.J. apologetically tried to explain that they
hadn't come there by choice, asking if this was his ship, and he then
ran when he saw Cassie and Carlos happening to walk up from the workbay as well.
- Andros slid down a
ladder leading to a lower deck and eventually ambushed the teens on Megadeck 6, attacking them despite their
attempts to explain that they didn't want to fight.
- Just as Alpha rushed
up exclaiming, "Straight-nah!", with his damaged voice chip, a sphinx ship sent by Astronema blasted the Megaship, knocking everyone into the wall.
- After Andros had taken
the Megalift to the bridge, the teens and Alpha, looking for another way to the bridge, stumbled upon the engine room, where the engines were now disabled due to a loose
cable, but they soon fixed it, and Alpha
started the engines back up from a
control kiosk.
- When asked, T.J. told Andros they were the Power Rangers, making him softly repeat, "Power Rangers?" with surprise, and T.J. then added, "From the planet Earth."
- When T.J. explained on the
bridge that they had been the Power Rangers and that they were on their
way to Eltar to save Zordon, Andros faintly
glanced over his shoulder without a word.
- As morphed Andros
prepared to disembark to fight off the Quantrons approaching the downed Megaship, T.J. told
him they were going with him, and the four teens ran outside with Red Ranger to fight the Quantrons without powers.
602-FON2.
- The teens attempted to fight the Quantrons fairly unsuccessfully, but they
helped each other out until Andros had managed
to chase the enemies away.
- As the four teens checked each other out, Andros demorphed into his Megaship uniform and stood still
as the teens studied him, with Ashley circling
him with a scrutinizing gaze.
- After the teens had introduced themselves, Andros seemed initially startled by T.J.'s attempt to shake hands, but he eventually
returned the gesture and told them his name.
- Soon, Carlos was in the
engine room attempting to repair Alpha following DECA's
instructions, while the other three teens spoke with Andros as he made repairs to the outside of the
ship.
- T.J. planned for the teens
to set a new course for the Cimmerian Planet if the shuttle couldn't make it to Eltar, but, having just been there, Andros knew the Cimmerian Planet was already
abandoned by now.
- When Ashley asked about
Zordon, Andros told
the teens that Dark Specter had him and
was draining all his powers; T.J. and Cassie said that if Zordon lost all his powers, they were all history,
but Andros replied that Zordon was strong and that it would take some time
for Dark Specter to take away all the
power, which gave Andros some time.
- Cassie tried to explain
that they were all in this together, but Andros
merely walked away into the Megaship;
once in the engine room, T.J. told him they all had the same goal, to protect
Zordon.
- Andros contemptuously
told the teens they were planetary Rangers,
from Earth, and asked what they knew about space; T.J. supposed they knew
nothing, and Andros agreed, "Exactly."
- After an engine
test, Carlos said they'd have to wait until
they got back to Earth before Alpha's speech board could be fixed, but Andros then took Alpha
aside and fixed him.
- Ashley wondered where
they should go next, with Zordon having been
captured by Dark Specter.
- After repairing Alpha,
Andros went to make sure the shuttle could make it back to Earth, and while he was later working under a set
of controls on the bridge, Andros had DECA program the
shuttle for Earth.
- While Andros worked, Ashley came in from the Megalift, and the other three soon entered from
a side door; Andros told the teens they had fuel and supplies, enough to get
them back to Earth.
- The teens got into the
Megalift for DECA to
take them to the space hatch for
them to leave, and they were soon standing outside for the Megaship's windy takeoff.
- As the teens walked toward the shuttle, planning to get back and
protect the Earth, they suddenly noticed Alpha wasn't with them despite having thought he
was.
- The teens were suddenly attacked by Quantrons and were soon grappled.
- Andros had the Mega Accelerator set to Hyper Rush 3, but
Alpha, having stowed away on the Megaship, soon convinced him to turn the Megaship around, telling him the five of
them had the same mission and were supposed to be a team.
- Upon arriving on the planet, Astronema
remarked, "So, this is what Power Rangers look
like after they lose their powers. Mm, a sorry sight."; she then seemed
surprised when T.J. didn't know who she was.
- Astronema asked where
the Red Ranger had gone, and
when Cassie refused to tell her, Astronema walked away and casually told a Quantron to destroy them, having no use for
them.
- When a massive hole opened up in the sky above,
Astronema cheerfully left, and powerful blue
blasts of energy then shot at the Megaship from above as it swooped down over
the teens and Quantrons from the hole in the
sky; a huge explosion from one of the blasts stunning the Quantrons and letting the teens escape their
grasp.
- Once the Megaship
had landed, Andros ran out and gave the four teens Astro
Morphers, apparently distributing them at random; after telling them
to put them on, Andros called, "All right,
let's rocket!" and just as he performed his preparatory gesture to morph, T.J.'s hand
could be seen simultaneously doing the gesture as well; the other teens weren't shown.
? Each of the teens
somehow apparently knew the code of 3-3-5-Enter used to activate the Astro Morphers.
- After watching Andros
summon his Spiral Saber by name,
the other four brand-new Space Rangers
were able to try it as well, calling out the names of their respective
special weapons.
- The four new Rangers each liked his or her special weapon .
- Later, as Andros gave
his new teammates a tour of the Megaship, they were wearing their own
respectively-colored versions of his Megaship uniform.
- T.J. asked where they
started to look for Zordon, and Andros replied that they started by fixing the Megaship, as she wasn't ready to make a
long-distance voyage.
- Andros didn't have the
equipment needed to fix the Megaship, so
Cassie suggested NASADA on Earth; initially
uncomfortable with the idea, Andros eventually
swallowed his pride and had DECA set the course
for Earth.
603-SOSh.
- On their journey to Earth, Andros, Cassie, and Carlos
watched as morphed Ashley and T.J. fought Craterites
and a manta ray monster in the Simudeck,
which Andros was just introducing to the teens.
- When Alpha announced
their approach of Earth after the Simudeck lesson, T.J., Cassie and Carlos ran off
excited while Ashley stayed a moment to talk
with Andros in the Simudeck.
- Soon, the five Rangers flew from the Megaship to NASADA
in the Megashuttle to obtain the
equipment they needed.
- The next day, the teens, all wearing casual
clothes matching their new colors,
took Andros with them on their first visit to
the Surf Spot, which strongly appeared to be
a remodeled Youth Center, under new
ownership; such a transition implies a passage of weeks during which the
four teens would have been in space; this would
be the first of many long trips in space, yet
how the four Earthen teens explained their
absences to their friends and family is unknown.
- When Bulk, having drunk
some hot sauce secretly put into his milkshake by Andros, rushed over to the teens' table and poured
a jug of water into his mouth, Andros chuckled
to himself behind his hand, and Carlos asked
"Bulkie" if he was okay.
- Skull, wondering whether
Professor Phenomenus would believe them if
they told him about seeing a UFO the previous night, mockingly gave
their dialogue as the teens listened: "Professor! Last night we saw an alien
spaceship! Round, with big pointy antennas, half invisible, just green
lines, really!"
- After Bulk and
Skull had left to find the Professor,
Carlos and T.J. knew their
description matched the Dark Fortress, at
which point Andros stood up, whispering, "Astronema!", and he had them leave to get the
rest of the supplies and return to the ship immediately.
? The teens bought the
last of their needed Megaship parts from
Angel Grove Electronics, which was having a
sale all week on computer components.
- Andros waited outside
with an AmScanner, and when the
teens came out with the purchased parts, he
told them they were being followed; after they'd ducked behind a corner
and put down their items, Quantrons appeared
in front of them and fought them in the town shopping area.
- After the Quantrons
had run away, Andros was sure Astronema was after the shuttle, and he said the villains would destroy it if they found it;
Alpha told the teens they had trouble, and
they ran off to morph behind a
builing.
- Somewhere on NASADA
premises near a giant satellite dish and the shuttle launch bay, Ecliptor confronted the Rangers; the four new Rangers didn't know who he was, but Andros told them, saying he was trouble.
? The other four Rangers were missing for a moment while Andros fought Ecliptor,
making Ecliptor assume they were hiding; they
rushed up to Andros after he'd been thrown
aside.
- As the Rangers
flew out of the Megaship in the shuttle to form the Megazord, Andros
asked T.J. about their status, treating him like
second-in-command.
- Later on the Megaship, the teens checked the Megaship's systems, with Andros on the bridge, Carlos
and Ashley checking "velocity junctions,"
apparently in the workbay, and T.J. and Cassie elsewhere;
everything seemed to check out perfectly.
- Ashley took Andros to the Simudeck
for a game of pool, where she used the control kiosk to bring up a pool
table room.
604-ShSh.
- The next day, as the Megaship appeared to be in Earth orbit, Andros showed
the teens the red Galaxy Glider in the
workbay, explaining how it worked.
- According to Andros, the
Galaxy Gliders, which the Rangers rode while morphed to fly
through space, were for safety since the Astro Megashuttle was too vulnerable to
attack.
- When DECA announced Electrotramp's attack in Angel Grove, Andros
decided to forgo their training session and leapt into his jump tube; although nervous, the others
then did the same.
- At the power
plant, the Rangers were saved from Electrotramp by the Ninja Turtles when they suddenly streaked in as
green energy, and the four Earthen teens were
amazed that the Turtles were real; Andros, meanwhile, was suspicious.
- Donatello asked that since
the Rangers were real, whether it was
true they had a spaceship; when the Turtles asked
for a ride to New York City, T.J. told the worried
Andros to lighten up and jovially accepted
without Andros's agreement, then the four Rangers teleported with the Turtles to the Megaship.
- Soon afterward, as Andros performed diagnostics on the engine, the four unmorphed teens gave the
highly curious Turtles a tour of the Megaship, explaining its systems.
- When the Turtles took over
the ship and allowed Astronema, Quantrons, and Elgar to
teleport into the bridge, the girls
managed to escape down a hallway.
- On Megadeck 6, Carlos and T.J. stumbled upon
Quantrons in the hallway and fought them.
- Soon, all of the teens but Andros were captured, tied up with glowing cable
in the engine room and guarded by Quantrons.
- Hiding behind the reactor, Andros used his telekinesis to cut the teens'
restraining cable with a pair of wire cutters, but they dropped
afterward, making the Quantrons investigate.
- T.J. showed a Quantron the cut wire and kicked him back, then
the five teens rushed off to get to the jump tubes.
- In the shuttle
after flying through a reverse-polarized magnetic field to jam the Megaship's sensors, the Rangers landed the shuttle on a rocky planet and were running away from the shuttle when Astronema and Quantrons attacked.
- Soon, the Turtles arrived
and handed the Rangers back their dropped
weapons, with the Rangers initially a bit fearful.
- Leonardo told them, "The
green machine has gone clean!" and Andros
thanked him and gave a thumbs-up, telling him he believed him this time.
- The Turtles and Rangers teamed up against the Quantrons, in the following pairs: Michelangelo and Cassie, Donatello and T.J., Raphael and Ashley, Venus and Carlos, and Leonardo and Andros.
- After Astronema had
retreated, Mike kissed morphed Cassie's hand and complimented her beauty; when
the two teams headed back to the shuttle, Venus
took T.J.'s arm, Cassie
put her arm around Mike, Andros walked with Leo, Don walked with Carlos, and
Ashley must have walked with Raph.
- On the bridge
once the Megaship had returned to Earth orbit, Ashley told
the Turtles to stop by if they were ever in space, and Mike returned the
offer, telling the teens to pop their head into their sewer if they were
ever in New York; the girls tried to be polite but were admittedly
disgusted.
- Mike said there was
something he wanted to just once before he left, and the Turtles then flew from the Megaship as green streaks; they were riding
the Rangers' Galaxy Gliders, with Mike on Red.
605-NvSS.
- The Megaship flew
through space when the teens called it a night
and went to bed; at the time, Carlos was
finishing up work on the underside of the red Galaxy Glider, and Andros was alone on the bridge searching galaxies for life.
- Once everyone else was in bed, Andros detected a lifeform on KO-35 and set a course there.
- In the morning, with the Megaship still orbiting KO-35 after Andros's
departure to the surface to search for Karone,
the three teens were making breakfast when Carlos got up and joined them.
- When Carlos asked where
Andros was, the teens didn't know, but T.J. had thought he would've been with Carlos; what exactly T.J. was
implying is uncertain.
- Learning that Andros had
gone down to KO-35, Carlos explained to the others that Andros was looking for his long-lost sister, who,
if she escaped, wouldn't know that KO-35 had been
attacked and abandoned years ago.
- Worried, Carlos headed
down to the planet, telling the others to stay
behind to give Andros some space.
- Soon, Andros brought
back a seriously injured Carlos, then went back
to KO-35 to keep fighting Ecliptor; the other three went down to help and
were soon joined by a weak Carlos.
- Later, the teens were apparently still in space when Carlos was
eventually feeling better.
- Andros was surprised to
learn that Carlos knew about his missing
sister, and he agreed to let the others help him find her, as they were
a team; Andros felt they made a pretty good
team.
606-SatS.
- The teens were on the bridge when they received an encrypted
transmission from NASADA asking them to save
eight years of scientific research by recovering data from a satellite
that had been shot down over the planet Kalderon; the teens went after the
satellite upon realizing that the information from the satellite might
lead them to Zordon.
- The teens' normal positions on the bridge (from the perspective of the rear
of the bridge) were Cassie sitting in front left, Andros sitting in front center, Ashley sitting in front right, T.J. standing in rear left, and Carlos standing in rear right.
- Once near Kalderon, the teens went down to the
surface with canteens to drink from on the fairly hot planet.
- Soon, the teens were attacked by Elgar and Quantrons,
but the villains retreated upon hearing a
large roar in the distance.
- Elsewhere, Ashley found
a piece of the satellite near the skeleton of what looked like a
dinosaur, then the teens soon found the rest of the satellite.
- Confronted by Astronema and crew, the teens morphed but were defeated and chained
together on the ground for giant Clawhammer to eat them.
- While Alpha fought Clawhammer in the Megazord, initially startling the Rangers as they tried to figure out who was
piloting it, Andros freed the Rangers, and they soon got in the Megazord and took control.
- After punching Clawhammer away from the pit and
climbing up, the Megazord kicked Clawhammer in the groin four
times in a row, headbutted it twice, then swung it around by its
antennae until they snapped off; the Megazord then threw the monster into the
lava pit, where it exploded.
- The Megaship was
later flying through space as the morphed Rangers transmitted the data from the three
undamaged discs to NASADA.
- Upon demorphing after the
transmission, the teens wondered what could have been on the final,
damaged disc; T.J. then suggested a quick vacation
on the Simudeck, snowboarding in Switzerland,
and they all went.
607-ARAT.
- Another day, the Megaship was in Earth orbit as the Rangers practiced on the Simudeck just before the four Earthen teens' math
midterms at Angel Grove High, which they'd been
studying for.
- The five teens were together at Angel Grove High, and the four teens then went into their classroom, leaving Andros to explore Angel
Grove and make some friends.
- Later that day, the four Rangers ran up to help morphed Andros against Ecliptor
as the villain was stomping his head into a mud puddle.
- Cassie thought to use DECA's new weapon, and Carlos summoned the Quadroblaster.
- Another day at the Surf
Spot, the teens were reviewing the exams they'd gotten back.
608-WPCS.
- The teens were at school
again, probably taking classes until the summer; the reader will note
that it was July in 635-SiGo.
- After the four teens' classes in Angel Grove, Andros
showed Carlos and T.J. on
the Megaship some images of the new Megatank, parked on a sidewalk
somewhere with trees in the background.
- When Carlos, after Andros's explanation behind the Megatank, added that it looked cool
too, Andros shook his head in disdain, making
T.J. chuckle.
- Later, while Cassie was
on her date with Lenny, Andros and Carlos were
playing chess in a side room of the Surf Spot
while Ashley and T.J.
watched; they were then called away to stop Elephantitan.
- To save Cassie, both Andros and Ashley drove
the Megatank up through the
building, while T.J. and Carlos fought Elephantitan below.
- Another day in the Surf
Spot, Carlos and Andros played pool while the other three watched.
609-CrIn.
- After some kids' soccer practice, Carlos and Cassie loaded
up some equipment into a black Jeep Grand Cherokee which they then rode
away in, with Carlos driving.
- After nightfall, the Megaship was flying through a thunderstorm
while Ashley and T.J.
excitedly practiced on the Simudeck; Andros was on the bridge when Cassie and Carlos teleported to the ship and entered from the
Megalift.
- Cassie seemed a bit
surprised to find that Andros was still
collecting storm data.
? The morning after
thousands of Craterites had dropped into
the city from the Megaship, the Rangers flew their Galaxy Gliders to the center of the city to fan out from there, but they were then
shown unmorphed, walking together as they looked for Craterites.
- T.J. had them split up, and
Cassie and Carlos went
one way while the other three went another, with the teens soon using AmScanners.
- When Cassie and Carlos asked an upset Patrick what was wrong, Patrick said no one would believe
him, and Cassie explained it was because of the
stories he always told, then the two teens walked him home.
- Meanwhile, Ashley, T.J., and Andros wandered up
to an industrial park, with Andros using an AmScanner.
- Ashley, hanging behind
the others, exchanged glances with a worker who growled at her, and she
suddenly realized the van nearby was shaking; she opened the van to
discover an identical worker tied up, at which point the workers
shimmered into Craterites.
- After their second Craterite fight at the beach, Carlos realized the disguised Craterites must have been what had spooked Patrick, and he, Cassie, and Andros ran
off to check on Patrick.
- After Carlos had gone
another way outside Patrick's
apartment, Andros and Cassie were chased into the woods and hopelessly outnumbered by Craterites; meanwhile, the other three Rangers were racing down a road in the Megatank to help, and they would
soon arrive to help, with the Megatank not shown.
- Upon arriving, Carlos
handed Andros a reprogrammed Spiral Saber.
- Later in the Surf
Spot, T.J. was telling the teens and Patrick about a suspenseful football
game he'd played in.
610-Wasp.
- Cassie was on the bridge checking the fuel systems when
she went down to the forest to check
on a disturbance; the location of the others was unknown.
- As Cassie confronted Waspicable, the other Rangers eventually arrived to blast the
monster, but she stopped them, explaining that the monster hadn't
destroyed her despite having had the chance.
- Later, Cassie was
helping at young Sherry's birthday
party in the park when Waspicable, Ecliptor, Quantrons,
and soon Astronema and Sting King attacked; the other Rangers would soon arrive to help.
? In space, it would be Carlos
who instructed Cassie and the others in using
their weapons ; then on Earth, it would be his weapon attack which defeated Sting King, after which he, not Andros, would then stand in the center of the Rangers.
- Later, after Waspicable had flown off upon
talking with Cassie, Andros wondered whether the monster would stay
good or turn evil, and the teens watched from a hill above as Waspicable, as a speck of light,
returned Sherry's balloons to her,
delighting her.
611-DDsc.
- When the Megaship, in Earth
orbit, received an emergency recording from the Phantom Ranger, Andros was on the bridge, then when the others came in
asking about the emergency message, Ashley was
already there to tell them it was a message from the Phantom Ranger, and she then played the
message.
- The video recording showed Phantom crouching over the camera in a
jungle, watching out for those around him; he told the Rangers that Dark
Specter was holding Zordon on the planet Hercuron, giving its coordinates, and
told them to come quickly, as there was very little time; he was then
surrounded by Piranhatrons and ended the
recording after telling them again to hurry, and Andros had them set a course.
- When the Megaship
approached Hercuron, the Rangers went down and helped Phantom against Ecliptor, but the other villains had already left with Zordon; Andros had Alpha search for a vapor trail, but there was no
trace.
- Alpha told the Rangers of a monster attack on Earth, and Carlos and Andros said they had to go back, but Ashley reminded them they were so close to Zordon; Andros told the
teens they had to defend their planet.
- When Phantom told
the Rangers he would go after Zordon, Andros gave an
undecided "hmm," at which point Phantom
pulled out a disc container and told him that it controlled the Delta Megaship, a mighty weapon which they
would need, and that he had to retrieve it immediately, as it was
completely unprotected; Andros asked, "But Phantom Ranger, what about--?" but Phantom insisted, "Please, take it."
- Andros agreed and told
the others to get back to Earth while he went
after the Delta Megaship.
- When Andros finally
returned with the Delta Megazord, none of
the Rangers were familiar with it.
- Taking his normal seat in the Astro Megazord, Andros introduced the Rangers to the Delta
Megazord and Battlizer, then telling
them to watch as he activated the Delta
Megazord's Gyro Blasters.
- Soon, the Rangers
returned to Hercuron to search for Phantom but found only another hologram
device which Andros identified as a
communications device; Andros turned it on, and
a small hologram of Phantom appeared,
clutching his side but speaking with energy in his voice.
- Phantom's
recording spoke, "I knew you'd return, Rangers! But I've left to follow Dark Specter. You must keep searching for Zordon, no matter how difficult the search may be.
Until we meet again, Rangers."
- As the teens were walking away after demorphing, the others consoled a
saddened Cassie, but she then went back,
hearing the hologram device still active, and listened to a private
message for her.
612-GrEv.
- On a rocky planet with
green water ponds and a significant gravitational field, morphed Ashley and Andros trudged
along on a small island looking with an AmScanner, feeling like they'd
gained a hundred pounds.
- When T.J. called to check on
their search for Dark Specter, Andros reported that the planet was completely deserted.
- In space on their Galaxy Gliders, Andros and Ashley were
quite pleased to be free of that gravity, and they then performed some
flip and loop tricks.
- In the workbay with Carlos and Andros as the
Megaship, docked with the docking station in Earth orbit, Ashley used a
scanner on the red Galaxy Glider, then
the three teens discussed the ray's having turned the yellow Galaxy Glider evil.
- On the bridge
with Cassie, T.J. told DECA to scan the next galaxy for Zordon, but the alarm sounded, and the five teens
went down to battle Destructipede after T.J. had told DECA the scan
would have to wait.
? When Destructipede was enlarged
downtown while the Rangers were fighting
five monsters summoned by Destructipede, Andros had the Rangers continue fighting the five
normal-sized monsters despite the
destruction of numerous buildings by giant Destructipede at the time.
- Only after the five defeated monsters had arisen to their feet again did
Andros call for the Delta Megazord to fight giant Destructipede.
613-Grma.
- Another day, the teens were relaxing in Angel Grove; when Carlos found Ashley and
her grandmother in the Surf Spot, Ashley
pretended he was her boyfriend in an attempt to stop her grandmother's matchmaking.
- Later in the park with the others after a Ranger battle, Carlos said they couldn't keep pretending to be a
couple; T.J. joked that they could, but eventually
they'd probably have to get married.
- On Ashley's and Carlos's date later, the other three teens and Mrs. Hammond watched from the
bushes with mini-binoculars as Ashley and Carlos rode a merry-go-round.
- Later in the Surf
Spot, Adelle unamusedly served Ashley and Carlos a
milkshake with two straws and gave Ashley a
note from Mrs. Hammond
telling her to share the drink with him; watching nearby, Mrs. Hammond was delighted, and
the three other teens sat with her and laughed.
- Outside the Surf Spot
another day, the teens brought Mrs. Hammond's bags out to a
taxi.
- Ashley apologized about
the husband thing not working out, but Mrs. Hammond said with friends
like hers, she didn't need one... yet.
- Mrs.
Hammond said goodbye to all of the teens and Adelle, then asked the taxi driver if he was
married; the teens and Adelle said goodbye and
waved happily as she drove off.
614-BaSt.
- T.J. (with an AmScanner), Carlos, and Cassie
searched a jungle planet for Zordon after having gotten a distress signal which
had secretly been sent by a device Ecliptor
used in planning an ambush.
- Cassie spotted what she
thought was a Piranhatron footprint in
the mud.
- Suddenly, the three teens were attacked by Quantrons, with Ecliptor nearby; when Carlos was stung on the wrist by a Barillian Bug, the three teens
teleported back to the Megaship.
- The four teens were in the infirmary as Carlos, shivering and his skin covered with
prominent veins, lay on the table and described his bug attack.
- Carlos said he hadn't
gotten a good look but that it had been some sort of bug; Andros curiously asked if it felt cold, and Carlos said it did, but Andros said he still wasn't sure whether he
recognized the bite.
- Andros subtlely gestured
for T.J. to come into the hall with him, and the
two left and spoke seriously in the hall, then left.
- Andros and T.J. ran through the jungle planet looking for the bug to identify it, but
they were confronted by Darkonda, holding a
sack over his shoulder and the dead Barillian Bug in his hand,
saying perhaps he had what they sought.
- T.J. and Andros looked at each other, apparently both
equally unfamiliar with Darkonda.
- When asked by T.J., Darkonda said, "Darkonda's my name, and evil's my game."; he
then zipped away, and they morphed
and flew after him on their Galaxy
Gliders.
- Soon up in a tree, Darkonda cut open another pod, and a Barillian Bug pursued morphed
T.J. until Andros shot it
down.
- After examining the dead bug, Andros concluded that it was definitely a Barillian Bug.
- Andros explained to T.J. that huge swarms of Barillian Bugs had once
attacked KO-35; they had been everywhere,
stinging without warning; in hours, people stung would turn into Barillian Bug monsters.
- Their only hope, Andros
said, was an antidote developed by scientists on KO-35.
- On the bridge,
Ashley and Cassie,
listening to Andros's report from the alien planet, were frightened as Andros told them why they had to go to KO-35 immediately but that the girls first had to
restrain Carlos, before he turned into a
monster.
- Hearing a struggle as they approached the infirmary after soon returning to the
Megaship, T.J. and
Andros ran in and found Ashley and Cassie having
been knocked down, with Alpha sitting
motionless on a bench beside the med table.
? Ashley seemed surprised as she told the guys that
Carlos had become some sort of insect; perhaps
Andros hadn't been specific on what would
happen to Carlos.
- As the teens planned to search the ship for Bug-Carlos, the Megaship streaked away for KO-35.
- In the workbay, the
four teens prepared their Astro
Blasters, with Andros having them put on
their lowest settings, in hopes of not hurting Carlos.
- Ashley went to monitor
the bridge, T.J.
said he and Cassie would check the engine room, and Andros reminded them that he wasn't Carlos anymore.
- Soon, the teens confronted Bug-Carlos in the engine
room, where he attacked them, somehow stinging Cassie on the neck during the struggle before
escaping.
- In the infirmary, the three teens sadly
strapped Cassie onto the med table, and she
looked back up at them with worry; her arms had been left unrestrained.
- As they neared KO-35 and
T.J. and Andros prepared
to go down to KO-35, Andros told Ashley to
protect the bridge no matter what,
even if it meant she had to shoot.
- As the guys left, Ashley
told them to hurry with the antidote, and she then thought she heard
something in the vent above the restrained Cassie but left anyway.
- In the workbay, T.J. and Andros were
confronted by Bug-Carlos, but they dodged his attacks and escaped
into their jump tubes.
- In the hospital on KO-35,
Andros found the antidote in a locked cabinet,
and when they were attacked by Darkonda, Andros stayed to hold him off as he had T.J. flee and return to the ship with the antidote.
- When Bug-Carlos and Bug-Cassie forced their way into the bridge and approached Ashley, she pleaded for them to stop, not wanting
to shoot them, but T.J., arriving just in time,
sprayed them each with mist from the antidote gun.
- After collapsing, the monsters morphed back into
fully-clothed Cassie and Carlos.
- Helping Cassie up, Alpha said all of their vital signs seemed to be
stable.
- Cassie and Carlos didn't remember much, if anything, but T.J. had them all rush off to help Andros, saying he'd fill them in on the way.
- Later, after the battle, Andros stood ruminating on a rooftop in the KO-35 city before Ashley
had him come back to the ship.
615-TJId.
- On the Simudeck, the
teens played basketball in their workout uniforms on a simulated court in a
simulated park; the ball, however, was real.
- T.J. and Andros were on a team, and the other three were on
another team.
- When the next point would win the game, T.J. reminded Andros about a
special play they'd been practicing earlier; using his hands as a
springboard, Andros sent T.J. flipping over the three other teens for a slam
dunk.
- DECA announced that they'd
reached Brokaya.
- The teens walked out of the Simudeck in their workout uniforms, then soon teleported down to the planet in their Megaship uniforms.
- On the planet, Ashley, T.J., and Andros quickly and quietly used a computer
interface to set up a satellite dish, an interstellar scanner which would
allow them to search for Zordon much more
quickly; Andros told them that if anyone saw
them, the whole mission was worthless.
- Meanwhile, Carlos and Cassie were keeping watch, with Carlos using an AmScanner.
- Andros then shut the
keyboard, and the teens rushed off to return to the Megaship, not realizing Darkonda had been watching them.
- Carlos asked Andros if this interstellar scanner was much
faster, and Andros said it could search a whole
galaxy (snaps fingers) like that, and that they'd find Zordon long before Dark
Specter could steal his powers.
- Soon, just as the viewscreen showed an image of
Dark Specter's spaceship, presumably still piloted by
Divatox's forces, Darkonda
and Ecliptor destroyed the interstellar scanner on Brokaya
before they could get a reading on its location, and the teens went down
to investigate.
- Andros retained a cocky
attitude when the Rangers were confronted
by Darkliptor.
- After Ashley and Cassie, failing to dodge Darkliptor's energy bolt, had been frozen in
cages of ice, Andros was furious; T.J. tried to hold him back to think through their
situation, but Andros, shoving him aside,
yelled that he was done thinking.
- As Darkliptor swung to
finish off Andros after he'd been knocked down,
T.J. leapt in the way, taking the blow to his
chest, then received a staggering blow to the head which cracked his
helmet.
- As Darkliptor
approached Andros while he cradled the limp T.J., Carlos tackled Darkliptor aside but was frozen as well while
planning for the three of them to retreat.
- Struggling just before freezing, Carlos told Andros to
take T.J. back to the ship, and Andros flew T.J. away on his
Galaxy Glider.
- As the amnesic T.J. later
found his way onto the bridge, the Megaship was in orbit around Brokaya.
- When T.J. and Andros soon teamed up against and defeated Darkliptor, the frozen Rangers were unfrozen.
- Later in the workbay,
Andros, Cassie, and T.J. examined the charred satellite dish of the interstellar scanner, and Andros concluded they wouldn't be able to fix it.
- Ashley and Carlos came in with the basketball to finish their
game; T.J. pretended he didn't remember a game or
even what basketball was, making Ashley happily
whisper to Carlos, "These guys don't even stand
a chance!"
- Once the two had walked out smiling, T.J. spun the ball on his finger, having tricked them.
616-FDrk.
- On the bridge
one morning, the four teens were preparing various scanners when Andros came in, not having slept well.
- The Delta Megaship docking station and Megaship were apparently in Earth orbit, in which case Andros had probably spent the night on the Megaship but the four teens had probably
slept at their homes and teleported to
the ship that morning just before Andros had
gotten up.
- The teens were just leaving, without Andros, to check out a planet in the Dagobah system for a few hours.
- When Andros returned
from Onyx with keycards and knowledge about his
sister, the others were already back, and they were wondering where he'd
been.
- Andros told the others
about his encounter with Darkonda and said
the keycards might've been
stolen from Zordon.
- From a plaza in Angel
Grove, Darkonda told Red Ranger to bring him the keycards if he wanted to know where
his sister was.
- After Alpha had
verified that the keycards were
genuine and had come from Eltar, Andros took the cards and went to the Megalift,
but the others went with him.
- To go down to Earth, the
teens took the Megalift from the bridge, rather than using the jump tubes in the next room, and their
teleportation streaks flew from the left
side of the docking station
rather than the Megaship, which was
docked on top; when the morphed Rangers
appeared downtown, the keycards
weren't with them.
- As Darkonda approached
Andros after pounding the Rangers with a superstrength potion, Darkonda suddenly spasmed and oozed with slime,
realizing someone must have tampered with the potion.
- When Ashley wondered who
would've poisoned the strength potion, T.J.
guessed, "Probably only half the universe."
617-RMVy.
- Once Alpha had learned
of a weapon on Ganymede while the Astro Delta Megazord was being trashed
by giant Darkonda and his spawn monster, the Rangers used their last remaining bit of
power to fly into space in the Delta Megaship after Alpha had sent the keycards to Ashley.
- As the Rangers
found themselves in a hangar inside the secret moonbase on Ganymede
after the Delta Megaship had landed inside
the base, Astronema and Ecliptor appeared with Quantrons to block their path to a set of doors
ahead.
- During the fight with Quantrons and Ecliptor, Ashley nearly
lost the keycards, but Cassie recovered them.
- Andros opened the doors,
and the Rangers began running through;
when Cassie was the last one heading for the
doors, Astronema threw her boomerang,
knocking Cassie down and the cards from her
hand, but Cassie grabbed them again and leapt
through the closing doors just in time to seal the villains out.
- Upon obtaining new keycards and beholding the five Mega Vehicles, the Rangers were awed, not having seen anything
like them before.
- Ashley figured that Zordon had hidden the Mega Vehicles there, knowing that one day
there would be an emergency and they would need them; Andros noted, "Well, we need them right now!"
- As the Rangers
launched in the Mega Vehicles, Cassie, Ashley, and Carlos were all quite excited; T.J. was a bit anxious lifting off in Mega V-3, and Andros was still trying to get the hang of the
controls.
- Later, some time after the Mega Voyager had destroyed Darkonda and helped the mangled and powerless Astro Megazord up, the Astro Megaship and Delta Megaship were back in the docking station in orbit.
- On the Megaship,
T.J., Cassie, and Alpha analyzed the damage in the engine room; on the bridge, Andros
and Carlos were examining damaged circuits
under the bridge controls.
- When DECA said something
in her low, garbled voice after Andros had
learned of the engine circuits and
scanning circuits being gone, he said first they had to fix DECA.
? Ashley was working on tubes hanging from the
ceiling before she checked the controls and said everything on Earth was still quiet, but how she would've known
this with the scanning circuits ruined is unknown.
618-TBTR.
- One Friday night, the teens were manning their
stations on the repaired bridge, with
the Megaship apparently in orbit, as Alpha showed them a visual of Storm Blaster being shot at by Velocifighters in space.
- The four teens were surprised and excited that Storm Blaster had escaped, but Andros had never heard of a Storm Blaster before.
- In the warehouse where the Rangers had been chained up after defending
Storm Blaster against Astronema's forces, Lionizer told the Rangers to lower the Megaship's shields, but Ashley called out to tell DECA to keep the shields activated.
- After crashing into the warehouse driving Storm Blaster, Justin, as the Blue Turbo Ranger, asked if the
Rangers were all right; Ashley exclaimed, "Justin, it's you!"
- Fighting Quantrons,
Justin freed the Rangers, and the six fought the Quantrons together.
- Justin hadn't known that
T.J. had become the Blue Space Ranger, apparently
having been kept quite uninformed of the Rangers' adventures.
- As the Rangers
regrouped against Lionizer, Andros told Justin that
they needed more firepower; as Justin agreed,
Storm Blaster came forward to blast Lionizer, and the Blue Rangers would add their lasers to overpower the
monster's energy beam.
? When confronted by
giant Lionizer downtown one
night, T.J. told Justin to
wait until he saw this, and Andros said he'd
like it; the five Rangers then summoned
just Mega V-1, which Andros piloted until calling for the Mega Voyager.
- As the Rangers
joined Justin after destroying Lionizer, Carlos told him it was great to see him.
- Explaining how he'd known they'd needed him, Justin joked that Storm
Blaster had come to his house and practically kidnapped him.
- T.J. thanked Storm Blaster for its help but asked about
Lightning Cruiser, and Storm Blaster flashed its lights.
- Justin told everyone to
hop in, as Storm Blaster could take them,
but Carlos thanked him and said they had their
own rides.
- Justin was awed as the
Rangers flew through space alongside Storm
Blaster on their Galaxy Gliders.
- Andros told Justin, calling him by name and speaking in a
friendly manner, that if he liked, maybe someday they could teach him to
ride a Galaxy Glider; Justin said they were pretty cool but that for now
he would stick with his good friend Storm
Blaster.
- After defeating the Piranhatrons on the desert planet and freeing Lightning Cruiser, the six teens were
unmorphed as they spoke together.
- Ashley hugged Justin, and he remarked it was just like old
times, saying he thought about the teens a lot, wondering if they were
okay; T.J. assured him they were fine.
- Ashley dragged the
silent Andros forward and introduced him as
being from "the space colony"; Justin,
impressed, said it was nice to meet him, and Andros thanked him for his help.
- Justin began to say,
"Once a Ranger," and Cassie completed, "always, always a Ranger."
- Justin realized he had
to get home, and Storm Blaster offered
him a ride; once inside, Justin told the teens,
"If you ever need me again, I'm always here," then drove off and
streaked away once the teens had waved goodbye.
619-IOBS.
- The teens celebrated Ashley's seventeenth birthday at a table in the park.
- After blowing out the candles on her cake, Ashley wouldn't tell Carlos what she'd wished for; Cassie could guess, and the girls looked at Andros sitting by himself, staring into space, and
Ashley chuckled.
- Putting on a hat, Ashley
thanked everyone for the great gifts, then found Carlos's present of a fire extinguisher, making Cassie frown and T.J. smack
his arm; Carlos defensively replied that
everyone needed one.
- Ashley took the coveted
corner cake piece from Carlos over to Andros.
- Dark Specter told
Astronema the Rangers' scan for Zordon was getting them much too close and they
must not discover his location before he'd drained his powers.
- Disguised as Ashley,
with the real Ashley having been kidnapped, Astronema had the teens get back to the Megaship, and they were soon in uniform doing various tasks across
the ship.
- On Megadeck 1, Astronema accidentally stumbled upon the workbay and was spotted by Cassie before she could leave.
- Cassie asked for a hand;
with various devices at the table, Cassie was
using a gun-shaped scanner or tool on an Astro Blaster, with three other Astro Blasters in a stand nearby.
- Cassie asked for an AmScanner, but Astronema didn't know which one it was.
- Behind Cassie, Astronema was then holding her staff, aiming it at Cassie.
- In the workout room, Carlos was benchpressing a rod when Astronema came in and asked to help, so he had
her add some weight.
- Astronema turned up
the weight way too much, pinning the rod painfully to his chest, then
pulled out her staff and aimed
it at him.
- On the bridge
at Ashley's station, Andros told T.J., who was at
the "Operations & Safety" console, that he was still worried about that
surveillance problem (secretly caused by Astronema's melting of a DECA camera elsewhere on that deck), and he tried
calling Cassie and Carlos but got no reply, so T.J. went to check it out.
- After finding the melted DECA camera, T.J. found "Ashley" in a storage room on Megadeck 4 and asked about the others.
- As Astronema tried to
hurry him out, T.J. heard Carlos groaning behind a bin, and when he went to
help, Carlos awoke and was alarmed to see "Ashley" aiming her staff at them behind T.J.
- Astronema then
entered the bridge; casually scanning
the wall consoles, she pretended not to know the others' whereabouts,
saying they were hanging around somewhere.
- Meanwhile, the three captured teens were all
conscious, hanging upside-down and bound in another storage room.
- Astronema crept up
with her staff behind Andros as he worked at Ashley's station but quickly hid it when he stood
to check out the situation.
- On the monitor within the double hemisphere area
of the "Computer Systems" console on the bridge was a banded orange and brown planet, with the text "Scanning" and "P-497201."
- Soon, Alpha wandered
into a storage room on Megadeck 6 looking
for the teens; hearing voices, Alpha opened a
dark sub-closet and found the three missing teens hanging upside-down
from the ceiling.
- Joining Andros at a power plant where two Astronemas were struggling, they were just as
confused as Andros.
- Andros got an idea and
called out to Ashley, "Let's rocket!"; one Astronema did her pre-morph hand gesture, but the other
fumbled with her arms, trying to copy the hand gestures.
- After their victory against Body Switcher, the Rangers were in the workbay, where they took off their helmets, and
the four Rangers went to their lockers
while Andros slipped out to secretly check on
Zhane in the hidden healing chamber off the engine room.
620-SvSv.
- On a desert planet called Kadix, the teens were
collecting samples of certain pods for an unknown reason.
- Andros told the teens,
"Okay, guys, let's just find one more and that should do it for now."
- With each of the teens wearing a translucent
black sack, full of what looked like wood shavings, and carrying a
spade, the teens dug up a good sample, a pod buried in the ground with
small vine-like tendrils which had been sticking above the ground.
- Ashley put the pod into
Andros's sack, and he told them to get back to
the ship and put it with the others.
- As the teens walked away, four desert trees
turned into brown-cloaked humanoid
beings, and dozens of the beings
suddenly surrounded the teens silently.
- Andros, unfamiliar with
the beings but agreeing with the others
that they didn't look friendly, had them flee, and all of the teens but
Andros discarded their sacks to run back to the
Megaship.
? Once they'd gotten
somewhat close to the ship, the teens stopped, and Andros had them morph; afterwards, as they fought the
beings, Andros
slung his sack around like a weapon, apparently not concerned about
damaging its contents.
- Carlos said there were
too many of them, and Andros agreed, deciding
they should get out of there.
- Just outside the Megaship, Andros
gave Cassie his sack, telling her to get "them"
inside; T.J., then Andros,
began shooting the aliens to hold them
back, then Andros finally sealed the hatch.
- As the ship flew away with the unmorphed teens
soon at their stations on the bridge,
Andros learned of an engine malfunction and had the others go
to the engine room while he remained
on the bridge.
- After the four teens had restored the engines, Cassie
watched as the secret doorway panel in the corner of the engine room sparked, and the hidden door
to the healing chamber
opened.
- As Cassie checked it out
and Carlos followed, T.J.
told Ashley they'd have to do a complete maintanance check on the
electrical connections, remarking "those things" had sure caused a lot
of damage.
- Carlos called Ashley and T.J. over after
seeing the cryogenic tube inside; Cassie wiped
off a bit of the frost on the tube and saw the Silver Ranger lying within.
- Entering, Andros
explained it was his old friend Zhane, who had
been critically injured saving him during Dark
Specter's attack on KO-35 two years ago.
- DECA interrupted, having
completed the damage reports, before Andros
could answer why he hadn't told them about Zhane.
- On the bridge,
Andros remembered the sample, and cheerfully Cassie went to get it from the cargo bay.
- In the cargo area, Cassie found the broken pod and was attacked by
the fully-grown Lunatick
monster.
- Returning to the bridge after sucking Lunatick out through the cargo bay doors, Cassie told the others that the pod from the
sample they'd brought back had turned into a monster.
- As Lunatick attacked panels while
clinging to the ship's hull, engine
power was failing, and the Megaship
began to fall back toward Kadix.
- With the bridge lights flickering, the Megaship crash-landed on Kadix; as the ship
slid to a stop, the bridge was dark,
and the teens appeared unconscious, but the lights came back on, and the
teens were okay.
- DECA announced that
hostile aliens were approaching, and T.J. said they were going to have to make external
repairs to the hull.
- Morphed, the Rangers emerged from the sliding door of the
Megaship with their weapons and spotted Lunatick; he shouted something in
an alien language, and dozens of the cloaked beings rushed forward to attack.
- The Rangers fought
the beings while at least holding their weapons, if not using them.
- During the fight, several beings boarded the Megaship before Andros had DECA seal all
doors.
- Without warning, Kadix
beings flew from the Megaship's space hatch, and morphed Zhane emerged.
- Astounded by Zhane's
recovery, Andros had the six Rangers retreat into the Megaship when Lunatick grew to giant size.
- Later, as the five teens approached the bridge after the battle, Zhane was telling Alpha
a story about a giant monster grabbing him
and lifting him up.
- Slipping his Digimorpher out of his belt and clicking it
open, the helmetless Zhane described grabbing
the Digimorpher and calling his Silver Cycle.
- Amused, Andros
corrected, "As I recall, I was the one he grabbed and lifted up."
- Smiling, Zhane told Alpha he'd have to finish the story later, and
Alpha said he couldn't wait.
- Andros introduced his
friends, and T.J., Cassie,
and Carlos told Zhane
their names.
- Startling forward as though enchanted by Zhane, Ashley stepped
forward and extended her hand, introducing herself.
? Enchanted in return,
Zhane remarked that he'd never met a female Power Ranger before, but why he completely
ignored Cassie is unknown; he then told Ashley it was nice to meet her and kissed her
hand.
621-Envy.
- The teens and Zhane were
on the Megaship in Earth orbit.
- Andros was walking down
a hallway, trying to think of how to ask Ashley
on a date, when he stumbled upon Zhane standing
very close to Ashley in the workbay, with his hands on her shoulders behind
her as he attempted to teach her telekinesis.
- T.J. and Cassie were at their stations on the bridge when Carlos happened to be walking in during DECA's announcement of a disturbance at the beach.
- T.J. called the others to
tell them of trouble at the beach, and they met up at the workbay and then morphed and teleported down to Earth.
- Upon involuntarily demorphing during the fight with
Crocotox, Zhane, hidden from the others' line of sight, ran
off.
- As the Rangers
looked for Zhane after Crocotox's destruction, thinking Zhane might have been stunned, the unmorphed Zhane walked out and waved.
- Carlos warned Zhane not to demorph there, as someone might
see him, and Zhane replied, "Oh yeah, sorry."
- Agreeing with Carlos, Ashley held Zhane's hand
with both of hers and told him he had some great moves and asked if he
could teach them a few.
- Just then, Darkonda's
image appeared in the sky and told them, "Rangers, you'll be busy forever destroying
my army of Crocotox! I have
thousands more where that one came from! Soon the Earth will be mine!"
- Back on the Megaship, the six teens were in the workbay, with Zhane and
Carlos looking at the star chart screen while
the others were at their lockers.
- T.J. planned to see Ashley on the bridge; Carlos
went to his locker for a while before joining the others on the bridge, and meanwhile, Ashley made herself a brownie which Zhane took and ate before they went to the bridge together.
- Zhane suspected Darkonda had to have some sort of lab and had Ashley help him start scanning.
- On the bridge,
Cassie worked at Carlos's station, but as Zhane sat at Cassie's
station and Ashley went to "Communications," Cassie switched to T.J.'s
station, with T.J. at "Operations & Safety."
- As the teens scanned for the source of Darkonda's hologram that had appeared on Earth, the source vector data had been computed,
but the distance was unknown.
- Moments after Ashley
directed the scan toward quadrant 989.2, DECA
detected multiple lifeform energies, making the teens suspect they'd
found Darkonda's lab.
- Talking with Andros in
the workbay, Zhane
suspected Darkonda had more of the monsters, even a whole hatchery.
- As Andros and Zhane came onto the bridge, the others told Andros they thought they knew where Darkonda's lab was, as DECA had located it on the planet Dekata 5.
- As the teens prepared to leave, Ashley cheerfully told Zhane to come on, but Andros said they'd handle this.
- Carlos pointed out they
could use all the help they could get against Darkonda, but Andros
forcefully stated Zhane stayed; as the others
began to leave with confusion, Zhane lied that
he wasn't feeling so hot.
? The five Rangers flew down to Dekata 5 on their Galaxy Gliders as the planet was now below the Megaship, but no travel time to the planet had been shown; adding further confusion
was that Dekata 5 looked exactly like Earth.
- When the Rangers
were trapped in a strong net, Darkonda told
them his plan of conquering the Earth with his
army of Crocotoxes and becoming
the next ruler of the universe; as the Rangers were blasted, Andros realized they needed Zhane.
- Soon, as morphed Zhane
sped in riding his Silver
Cycle, he raced past the blue Crocotox's energy barrier, and T.J. called out to tell Zhane
to find Darkonda's lab, and Zhane said he was picking up a signal.
- Shortly afterward, Andros got an idea and used the Battlizer's laser attack to cut them free from
the net.
- After the Rangers
had destroyed the giant blue Crocotox with the Astro Delta Megazord, Andros was deperate in looking for Zhane as he fought the red Crocotox somewhere below; they
presumably didn't see as Zhane involuntarily demorphed immediately after
destroying the monster.
622-SvSc.
- As they happened to walk by the infirmary the next day, Andros and Cassie
overheard Alpha telling Zhane, "Ay yi yi, I'm afraid it's serious."; they
listened, hidden around the corner, as Zhane
pressed for more information and Alpha
replied, "This is bad. According to my calculations, you don't have
very much time!"
- Shocked, thinking that Zhane was dying, Andros
and Cassie left to go tell the others, but had
they stayed a moment longer, they would've realized Alpha had been talking about Zhane's morphing powers.
- Andros and Cassie prepared to tell the others the really bad
news on the bridge when Zhane came in from the lift with a panel device; he
was confused by their concern.
- Andros told Zhane he'd been working too hard, but Zhane replied hard work wasn't going to kill him.
- Between tapping at his panel device, Zhane looked at the "Computer Systems" console,
then the display panel for the front center seat.
- Confusing Zhane, Andros had Zhane sit, and
Cassie put his feet up, with Andros taking the panel device.
- When DECA announced the Praying Mantis's attack on Earth, the teens began to rush out; when Zhane started to get up, Andros and Cassie made
him sit, with Cassie telling him just to take
it easy.
- During the battle on Earth, Praying Mantis asked the Rangers why they didn't call their friend,
but Carlos retorted that they didn't need his
help.
- After ramming Praying Mantis on his Silver Cycle, Zhane got off his parked cycle and soon wielded his
Silverizer against the
monster despite Andros and Cassie's intentions for him to stay behind them.
- After Zhane had been
blasted, Andros wanted Zhane to stay behind while they handled it, but Zhane went forward alone, saying he could handle
it.
- As Zhane did a final
slash with his Silverizer
after blasting Praying
Mantis, he was apparently slashed back, stunning him, and Cassie and Andros had him
take it easy.
- As the Rangers
took over, Zhane ran off.
- After Praying Mantis had retreated,
the Rangers looked around and called out
for Zhane, and he cheerfully trotted up
unmorphed.
- Zhane said he was fine,
asking why he wouldn't be, and as he put his arm around Ashley and T.J. patted him on
the back, Andros told Cassie they had to tell the others about Zhane's condition.
- Later in the workbay,
the five teens ate a meal at the table, having been called there by Andros there to talk, and Andros and Cassie told
the teens the shocking news.
- Walking from the bridge to a doorway across the hall, Zhane heard the conversation as Cassie noted Zhane had
been demorphing as soon as the
fight was over, and Carlos assumed he was too
weak.
- Grinning devilishly, Zhane remarked to himself, "So that's why Cassie and Andros are
acting so freaky. (chuckles and rubs hands) They think I'm dying!"
- Ashley remarked,
startled, that Zhane was acting so brave, and as
Carlos wondered what they could do, Zhane walked in, curious, and they quickly catered
to him.
- When Cassie asked how he
was, Zhane cleared his throat and guessed he was
fine.
- T.J. gave Zhane his seat, Cassie
poured Zhane some juice, and Carlos offered him some of his spinach from a
silver plate, but Zhane said he hated spinach.
- When Zhane asked for some
pie, Ashley put a piece on a plate for him, but
Cassie argued with her that it wasn't good for
him, with Ashley arguing that that's what he
wanted; meanwhile, Zhane watched with amusement.
? The pie was actually
quite cold and hard.
- Later, as Zhane was
meeting with Alpha in the infirmary again, Praying Mantis attacked again;
DECA volunteered to alert Zhane, but the teens adamantly told her not to,
since he needed to rest.
- Parting, Andros ordered
DECA not to tell Zhane.
- The teens ran into Zhane
in the hallway and told him they were going down for only a minor
disturbance on Earth.
- As the five teens prepared to take the jump tubes, Zhane offered to go with them, but Andros told him to stay and take it easy; Zhane tried to tell them the truth, but they rushed
off down the tubes.
- Fighting the monster after eventually arriving,
Zhane was grappled and lifted into the air by
the monster while the Rangers were busy
fighting Quantrons.
- The Rangers soon
broke free and all ran forward, but they were too late, as the claws
holding Zhane up exploded, apparently taking Zhane with them.
- The Rangers all
screamed in agony, thinking Zhane had been
killed.
- Andros collapsed to his
knees, saying, "He was my best friend, and I've lost him again!"; he
then angrily stood, and the Rangers
charged but were blasted back.
- Andros furiously said it
couldn't end like this and they couldn't give up, and Cassie sobbingly said Zhane would want them to keep fighting.
- As Praying Mantis charged, Zhane flew in on his silver glider, knocking the
monster out of the air.
- Some time after the monster's destruction, the
teens, with Alpha, were upset in the workbay that Zhane had
lied to them.
- When Zhane came in, the
teens pretended to pamper him, and Cassie gave
him some juice which he spat out because it was spinach juice, given to
him since he was so sick.
- Zhane realized they'd
caught on and said it was just a joke and that he'd been planning to
tell them eventually.
- When Zhane admitted he'd
never felt better, Andros amusedly gave him the
cleaning supplies to clean the Megaship
top to bottom.
623-Date.
- The five Rangers
were fighting Horror Bull in a
plaza downtown one morning when Zhane soon drove
up to confront Astronema nearby; he would
remain uninvolved in the five Rangers'
fight.
- After Zhane had secretly
rescued Astronema and taken her to a jungle
to care for her at a campsite, the teens were in the workbay later in the day while Zhane was away sulking in his quarters.
- T.J. and Carlos were practicing some blocks while Andros and Ashley were
using some scanner-like devices and Cassie was
reading the newspaper; on the table was a
bowl of fruit.
- After reading the classifieds, Cassie saw a full-page ad for the movie Star Crossed Lovers and
excitedly announced that it was playing in town; Ashley gasped with joy, having wanted to see that,
and excitedly said they had to go, grabbing Andros's apple from him in her excitement.
- As Ashley and then Cassie began to drag Andros off, Carlos
glanced at the ad and refused, but Cassie
smacked her fists into her palm playfully and said the guys had picked
the movie last time, and Andros agreed.
- When T.J. asked about Zhane, Ashley excitedly
said they'd go ask him, and she tossed Andros
back his apple before she and Cassie ran off to
drag Zhane from his quarters.
- Later, as the six teens came out of the movie in
casual clothes, Carlos remarked to T.J., apparently amazed, "That was so romantic," and
the girls and Andros chuckled, with the girls
having known the guys would like it.
- As Zhane joined the teens
after staying behind to help a teenaged girl (secretly Astronema in the form of Karone) with her books, purple energy bolts from
behind struck nearby, sending people running and the teens ducking behind things.
- While everyone was distracted, a red arrow with a
note on it shot into the tree Zhane was hiding
behind, and he read it privately.
- Later, the five teens ate at an outdoor cafe
while talking about the movie; Cassie had known
the guys would like it, but Andros remarked
that it needed more explosions.
- Alpha called the teens
to tell them of another Horror
Bull attacking, and they left to fight him in the quarry, where they
discovered their weapons were useless
against him.
- After Ecliptor had
retreated and Horror Bull had
grown after being defeated by Zhane, Zhane hopped onto his Silver Cycle and told the others
he had to go, then raced off between the giant monster's legs.
- Later on the bridge, the teens argued privately about
which was to go and talk to the depressed Zhane,
who sat despondent at a center seat.
- Ashley was shoved
forward, and she awkwardly asked Zhane if he was
okay, but he didn't reply.
- Andros, shoved forward
next, agreed that Zhane looked a little bummed,
but he still didn't answer.
- Cassie, shoved next,
smoothly told him, "You can talk to us about ANNNything," but he merely
looked at her and quietly said "thank you" before walking out.
624-ZhnD.
- On the desert planet Centaur B, Zhane
and Andros were in brown cloaks in a fierce
sandstorm wearing facemasks, with Zhane using a
scanner to lead them to the first of several energy sources the teens
had detected.
- When Zhane suggested that
the others, monitoring from the Megaship
in orbit, check out the second source, T.J. said Alpha couldn't track them down there since the
conditions were too severe, but Andros said not
to worry, as they'd keep in contact.
- As Alpha handed out
facemasks, Ashley remarked that Dark Specter would have to be crazy to send
Zordon to a place like that, but Carlos said something down there was definitely
giving off energy, and they ran to the jump tubes to find out what.
- Then in the desert, with the four wearing cloaks
and masks like Andros and Zhane, T.J. said his AmScanner was detecting an energy
source nearby.
- T.J. got a strong reading
just over the rocks, but Cassie had him split
up from the others to look at patches of coral growing on a rock, which
Cassie thought was odd, since there weren't any
oceans on the planet.
- As they went to rejoin the others, T.J. and Cassie were held up
by two Rebel soldiers with blasters, and their
AmScanners were taken; the
general known as Yatru brought in the
captured Carlos and Ashley as well and had the four taken away.
- Elsewhere, Zhane and Andros had discovered false readings but were
unable to contact the others.
- A Rebel guard locked
the four teens in a cell in the Rebels'
underground colony.
- Through a cell window, the teens could see people
being carried around on stretchers, and through another window was an
infirmary chamber where many people were sick from a coral disease; one
man who was just carried in was initially covered with white foam on his
shoulder which suddenly grew into giant coral coverings; other people
had coral growths and even clawlike arms.
- Ecliptor and the Quantrons soon attacked Zhane and Andros in the
desert, and they fought back well before running off tho find the
others.
- Underground, Yatru
presented to leaders Kinwon and Taikwa the four handcuffed teens, who wore tan
flight suits with Ranger-colored
undershirts and five-square Ranger
badges; Yatru insisted these were the spies
responsible for turning their people into coral.
- When T.J. claimed innocence,
Yatru replied that they'd been on the surface
with surveillance equipment, showing Kinwon a
confiscated AmScanner.
- Kinwon told Yatru to let them speak, and Carlos insisted they were merely tracking an
energy source; Kinwon wondered why a search
party would come to Centaur B, saying
the planet was nothing but an ill-tempered rock.
- T.J. said they were looking
for someone, and when this received only unmoved murmuring from the
crowd of Rebels, Ashley nodded to him, and he declared that they
were Power Rangers; this surprised the people
a bit, at which point Yatru violently
pretended to take something from behind Ashley,
a small canister.
- The teens had identified themselves to the Rebels, and the Rebels
would later refer to the teens, as "Power
Rangers" rather than "the Power Rangers,"
indicating a seldom-seen awareness of multiple Power Ranger teams in the universe.
- Yatru smashed the
canister against a wall, and the liquid inside turned into white foam,
which then turned into a cluster of coral.
- Ashley insisted the
canister had been planted, but Yatru declared
that they were guilty as charged and ordered for them to be taken away
to be destroyed.
- Kinwon argued that this
had not been a trial; Yatru insisted they
were destroying their people, and Taikwa asked
Kinwon how much more evidence he needed, but
Kinwon insisted that their guilt was not for
Yatru to decide; if they threw out their
laws, chaos would reign.
- Kinwon told Yatru he would hold him personally responsible
if any of the teens were harmed, and Yatru
grudgingly had the teens taken away.
- On the surface, Andros
told Alpha they'd lost contact with the
others, but Alpha said the atmosphere was too
dense for the ship's scanners, so Zhane had them
keep heading for the second energy source, which was where the others
had been heading before they'd lost contact.
- Using tools of some sort, T.J. and Cassie chipped away
at the rock holding a bar on one side of their cell, and the four soon
escaped through the hole once the bar was removed.
- Upon reaching a dead end in the tunnel, the teens
were startled by a coral-covered hand reaching from around the corner,
but they quickly discovered it was a barely-conscious Kinwon, having been struck by the coral plague.
- Yatru and guards
confronted the teens, and Yatru declared that
they'd gotten Kinwon.
- Later, the teens were in front of an angry mob
who all wanted the destruction of the spies.
- Yatru ordered for them
to be taken to the surface and destroyed, but the cloaked and masked Zhane and Andros stormed
in and ordered them to be released; Yatru
said they were more spies and told the guards to capture them, but the
two pulled Astro Blasters and aimed them
at the guards.
- Andros declared that
they weren't spies, and nor were the four teens; he and Zhane then removed their masks as he declared they
were Power Rangers, stunning the crowd.
- Taikwa knew Andros and Zhane, and Andros was surprised to see her there; she
explained that they had been in hiding since escaping from KO-35.
- Yatru insisted that
the teens were spies and ordered for them to be destroyed, but Andros and Zhane again
aimed their Astro Blasters at the
guards; the guards were confused and reluctant to act, so Andros had them lower their Astro Blasters.
- Frustrated, Yatru said
he'd destroy them himself if he had to, and Coralizer stormed in.
- As the guards aimed their weapons at
