[This episode continues in the Command Center. Images of Cyclopsis
 are being shown on the Viewing Globe.]

Zordon : Cyclopsis is one of Rita's most terrifying creations. She
         hasn't brought him out in over 10,000 years!

[Jason has been standing closest to the Viewing Globe and he now
 walks back to join the others. On the Viewing Globe, Goldar is
 shown re-entering Cyclopsis as a streak of bright light.]

Zordon : You'll have to defeat him if you are to release the
         population of Angel Grove from the dimensional vortex in
         which Rita has them trapped.

[The Viewing Globe shows a laughing Goldar activating the controls of
 his rebuilt War-Zord. Cyclopsis's hands rise from its sides.]

Zordon : Goldar has taken over piloting Cyclopsis with backup from
         Lokar.

[During this briefing, Billy and Alpha are shown urgently working at
 the control panels.]

Zordon : The situation is grave.

[Billy sighs. The Viewing Globe shows energy channeling into a ball
 above Cyclopsis's head. This force is sent on a path of destruction
 in the city.]

Zordon : If you don't win this battle soon, Angel Grove and the entire
         world is doomed!
 Jason : [determined] We've gotta -stop- that thing. [turning] Billy,
         what's the update on the Zords?
 Billy : Still not fully re-energised. They took a real beating in the
         fight against Cyclopsis.
 Alpha : The Zords still need another 12 hours to be at full power!
 Jason : We can't wait that long! [thoughtful pause] We'll take 'em at
         half power.

[Billy turns around, shocked.]

   Billy : Jason! If we do that we risk doing serious damage to the
           Zords!
   Jason : [simply] We don't have a choice.
  Zordon : [breaking in] There is too much danger in what you propose.
Kimberly : But Zordon, what about our -city-? We have to stop it from
           being destroyed!
    Zack : Not to mention rescuing all those -people- trapped in
           Rita's dimensional vortex!
   Trini : [upset] They're safe right now, but, if we have to wait 12
           -hours-...it may be too late!
  Zordon : [seriously] What you 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?

[Kimberly nods.]

Jason : You know we do, Zordon.
 Zack : Yeah.
Trini : You got it.
Billy : Affirmative.

[Cross over to Rita's Earth Palace. Inside, Rita laughs triumphantly
 as Cyclopsis is viewed from top to bottom.]

Rita : Between Cyclopsis and Lokar, the world will now be mine!
       [laughs again]

[Lokar blows a cloud of white vapour out into the city. Back at the
 Command Center, Alpha pushes a button on a control panel.]

Alpha : Co-ordinates are set. Are you ready to morph to the city?

[The Rangers nod.]

 Jason : Ready, Alpha.
Zordon : Good luck, and let the Power protect you.
 Jason : It's Morphin' Time!

[The Morphing Sequence begins.]

    Zack : Mastodon! [morphs into the Black Ranger]
Kimberly : Pterodactyl! [morphs into the Pink Ranger]
   Billy : Triceratops! [morphs into the Blue Ranger]
   Trini : Sabre-toothed Tiger! [morphs into the Yellow Ranger]
   Jason : Tyrranosaurus! [morphs into the Red Ranger]

[The Rangers soar through the sky as streaks of light, and before long
 the five Zords are on the move. The Dinozord insignia lights up, the
 Megazord forms, and the Rangers materialise inside the cockpit from
 bursts of coloured light. Their fists are clenched.]

Red Ranger : All right!
   Rangers : Let's do it!

[The Megazord goes into battle stance. Rita addresses them from the
 top of a nearby building, underneath a dark and gloomy sky.]

 Rita : [taunting] Back for more? Lokar will take care of you for
        -good-! Right, Lokar? [laughs]
Lokar : Yeahhh!!!

[He breathes another vapour cloud at the Megazord, causing it to fly
 backwards and land in a heap. Cyclopsis steps forward, now wielding
 long arm-blades. It closes in on the prone Megazord and slashes down
 towards it. The Rangers cry out inside and just manage to roll the
 Megazord over onto its back. The Megazord's back blasters fire upon
 Cyclopsis, temporarily throwing it off balance.]

Goldar : [in Cyclopsis] He'll pay for that! [laughs]

[The Megazord has taken advantage of Cyclopsis's distraction to stand
 up again. Cyclopsis swings one of its arm-blades and chops off the
 Megazord's left arm; the severed section drops to the ground. The
 damaged Megazord staggers and grabs onto a building for support.
 Unfortunately, the building quickly collapses, sending the Megazord
 back down again. Cross to the cockpit as Cyclopsis closes in.]

  Blue Ranger : Power Grid's down!
Yellow Ranger : Gyros off-line!
   Red Ranger : Switch to Emergency Power!
  Pink Ranger : [panicky] We -can't-!
 Black Ranger : Backups are down!

[Cyclopsis triumphantly places a foot upon the grounded Megazord.]

Goldar : [in Cyclopsis] Victory is mine!

[Cyclopsis slashes down. The Red Ranger reacts quickly and brings the
 Megazord's right fist up to block. The Megazord's eyes fire beams at
 Cyclopsis. The ancient War-Zord staggers, giving the Megazord time
 to stand once more. It clenches its remaining fist and charges.]

Goldar : [in Cyclopsis, raising fist] Take that!

[Cyclopsis slices the Megazord with its blade, producing a shower of
 sparks. The Megazord manages to block a second blow, but is taken
 down by a third. The Rangers are thrown around in the shaking
 cockpit.]

Pink Ranger : Shields are down! One more hit and we're finished!

[Cyclopsis starts to close in.]

Black Ranger : We gotta do something, fast!
  Red Ranger : Right! I just hope Dragonzord's powered up enough to
               help! [plays dagger flute]

[The Dragonzord rises out of the water.]

Red Ranger : [in cockpit] There it is!

[The Dragonzord hurries over to defend its companion Zord, which is
 standing again but leaning weakly to one side. Cyclopsis starts to
 attack the Dragonzord. The Dragonzord's chest lights flash in
 prelude to a spinning tail attack.]

[Cyclopsis quickly chops down with its blade as the tail swings
 around, and it slices off the drill tip. The tail piece flies past
 the ailing Megazord and lands on the ground. Cyclopsis slashes at
 the Dragonzord again. The Dragonzord rolls over on the ground,
 landing on its back in front of the Megazord. Inside the Megazord,
 the Rangers look down with extreme concern.]

   Red Ranger : Oh, no!
  Blue Ranger : He's down!
Yellow Ranger : Huh?

[Lokar, who is hovering nearby, focuses his power and zaps the two
 Zords with an electrical surge. Once again the Megazord collapses,
 and once again the Rangers cry out inside the cockpit.]

Yellow Ranger : [tense] Power Pods are gone! [gasp] We can't move!
 Black Ranger : Weapons are out! [frustrated] Uh! I can't believe it!

[Lokar grins evilly in the sky above.]

Lokar : They're all yours, Rita!

[Focus in on Rita's Earth Palace and cross to Rita on the Balcony.]

  Rita : Power Rangers! [laughs] Gotcha!
Squatt : [excitedly] Wowee! The Power Rangers are -finished-!
  Rita : Yeah; I'm gonna enjoy this! Take that! Yes!

[She blasts the prone Megazord and Dragonzord with her Wand. Bursts
 of electricity come down from the sky and surge through both Zords.
 The Rangers cry out as the Megazord overloads and its power fails.]

   Red Ranger : It's overloading!
Yellow Ranger : Circuits are out!
  Blue Ranger : We're coming apart!
  Pink Ranger : Uh!
 Black Ranger : Uh!

[The Megazord and the Dragonzord writhe helplessly on the ground.
 Suddenly, shockingly, the Dragonzord's right arm and left leg vanish
 into thin air, along with the Megazord's right leg! The Dragonzord's
 left arm and right leg similarly disappear, followed by its head and
 lower torso. All that remains is the Dragonzord's mid-section and
 the remainder of its tail.]

[The Megazord weakly clenches its remaining fist and then finally
 slumps its arm, apparently defeated. The strange dissolution now
 spreads to the Megazord's left leg, upper torso and arm, leaving
 only the head and the right hand. Cross quickly to the cockpit.]

Red Ranger : [urgently] Rangers! Abandon ship!

[They fall through the air just as the last pieces of the Megazord
 vanish. The now unmorphed Rangers land awkwardly back in the park.
 Jason, Kimberly and Zack land on the stage; Trini and Billy land in
 front of it. After picking themselves up, Jason, Kimberly and Zack
 leap down to join the others.]

 Jason : You guys okay?
Others : [quickly] Yeah.
 Jason : [to communicator] Jason to Command Center.

[There is a beeping sound and then silence.]

Jason : [to communicator, urgently] Jason to Command Center! We have
        an emergency!

[The beeping sound is heard once more.]

Billy : [depressed] Rita's undoubtedly jamming the frequency!

[He walks a short distance, deep in thought, and then turns back to
 face the others.]

   Billy : [analytically] We've lost all contact with Zordon and
           Alpha.
    Zack : And the Zords!
Kimberly : [confused] They just came apart; they just...-dissolved-!
   Billy : That was actually the new security system Zordon designed
           for the Zords. See, if they lose in battle they
           automatically disassemble and return to the secret hiding
           place to re-energise.
   Trini : So...the Zords aren't destroyed?
   Billy : [shakes head] Negative.
    Zack : Our problem -now- is that we have no way of contacting
           them!
   Billy : Maybe we do. I might have the equipment back at my garage
           to change the frequency on the communicators.
   Jason : [quickly] Then let's move!

[They all hurry away. Cross to the inside of the Command Center. Alpha
 is stationed at a control panel, pushing buttons.]

Zordon : Alpha, status report.
 Alpha : Their Zords are safe and being re-energised!
Zordon : What about the Power Rangers? We haven't heard from them in a
         while.
 Alpha : We've lost contact, Zordon! Their communicator frequency is
         being blocked! [pushes more buttons]
Zordon : Keep trying, Alpha! You must establish contact with the Power
         Rangers. Without the Zords they are vulnerable to Rita's
         attacks!
 Alpha : Ai-yai-yai-yai-yai! Starting frequency search now!

[Meanwhile, the Rangers have arrived at Billy's garage.]

Billy : [quickly] Trini, check over there!
Trini : Okay!

[Billy starts preparing his equipment for the communicator adjustment.
 Trini comes hurrying over with a device.]

Billy : Did you find it?
Trini : Yeah! [puts device on Billy's table] How does it look, Billy?
Billy : Well, I've got all the equipment I need. It's just a matter of
        time.

[He starts removing his communicator ready for adjustment.]

Kimberly : Even if he -does- fix the communicators and establish
           contact with Zordon, -then- what?
   Jason : Hopefully Zordon's already come up with a plan...
           [realising the worst] Or this truly is..the end of the
           Power Rangers.

[He looks away, contemplating this awful possibility. Switch to an
 exterior shot of Rita's Earth Palace and then cross over to Rita
 and her cohorts watching proceedings from the Balcony.]

   Rita : Ah! Do you see that; I'm -winning-!
Finster : Yes! Without Zordon and the Zords, the Power Rangers are
          ripe for defeat!
 Goldar : Great! And I'm gonna go and personally finish each of those
          Power Geeks myself!
   Rita : That's great! Now get down there! [laughs]

[Back at the garage, Billy is adjusting his communicator.]

Jason : How's it coming, Billy?
Billy : [slightly impatient] I'm adjusting the modulator to read an
        alternative signal. I just need a few more minutes!

[A laughing Goldar suddenly appears outside the garage, accompanied by
 two Putties.]

Goldar : Your few minutes are -up-! [laughs again]
 Jason : [turns around] Goldar!

[Kimberly, Trini and Zack whirl around, startled. Kimberly and Trini
 gasp.]

Goldar : Greetings, Power Rangers! I thought I'd stop by and say
         hello ... [laughs]

[Kimberly, Trini, and Zack exchange looks.]

Goldar : .. before I say goodbye forever!

[Realising that time is now of the essence, Billy speeds up his work
 on the communicator.]

Goldar : It's been nice knowing ya! [laughs]

[An angry looking Jason takes a step forward, ready to attack. Goldar
 throws back his head and laughs.]

*** - a possible loss of a few seconds from a commercial break.

 Billy : Jason, the equipment!
 Jason : Keep working, Billy! [determined] We'll take care of Goldar.
Goldar : [laughs] Still living in a fantasy, huh? You're about to
         learn a lesson! [laughs]

[Goldar starts to advance. He sweeps a bunch of equipment off a table
 with his sword and laughs again. Cross to an exterior shot of the
 Command Center and then switch to the inside.]

Zordon : Any success in finding the Rangers, Alpha?

[Alpha is holding a computer printout in his right hand.]

 Alpha : It's -impossible- with their communicators down!
         [reads printout] I've just found some important information,
         Zordon! It appears that because Rita's Palace is now on
         Earth, our computer has been able to penetrate her data-bank!
Zordon : Excellent, Alpha! That means we have access to her files of
         spells and secrets!
 Alpha : [happily] Affirmative, Zordon!
Zordon : Alpha, these files could help us reduce Rita's power, or even
         stop her altogether!
 Alpha : I'd better hurry and tie into her system!

[Back at the garage, Billy finishes the communicator adjustment whilst
 the others are still preparing to fight.]

 Billy : You guys! I did it; they're functional!
Goldar : IMPOSSIBLE!
 Jason : We're outta here!

[They teleport away.]

Goldar : NO!!!

[Goldar and the Putties teleport away as well. The Rangers arrive in
 the Command Center behind Alpha, who turns around.]

 Alpha : Rangers! You're okay! [claps hands]
 Jason : [happily] Zordon! [smiles]
Zordon : Are you all right?

[Trini smiles and nods.]

  Zack : [relieved] Yeah, we're all in one piece!
Zordon : Then there is no time to waste. We may finally have a way to
         defeat Rita!
 Jason : How?
Zordon : Alpha tapped into Rita's data storage and discovered a
         weakness in Cyclopsis we can use!
 Trini : [relieved] What do we do?
Zordon : Cyclopsis will adjust to whatever it fights. If you change
         Battle Modes frequently it will not be able to keep up.
  Zack : Are the Zords powered up?
 Alpha : Ready and waiting for you!
Zordon : Each time you change, Cyclopsis will weaken as it tries to
         adjust. Use this to your advantage, Rangers.

[The Viewing Globe shows Titanus emerging out of the earth from which
 he sunk at the end of the last episode.]

Zordon : Titanus is now re-energised and is ready for action. When the
         time is right, call upon the power of Ultrazord! If you fire
         on Cyclopsis in its moment of weakness, you will be able to
         destroy it.
 Jason : [decisively] Then there's no time to lose.
Zordon : Let the Power protect you. Remember, the quicker you change
         modes, the weaker Cyclopsis becomes.
 Jason : It's Morphin' Time!

[The Morphing Sequence begins.]

    Zack : Mastodon! [morphs into the Black Ranger]
Kimberly : Pterodactyl! [morphs into the Pink Ranger]
   Billy : Triceratops! [morphs into the Blue Ranger]
   Trini : Sabre-toothed Tiger! [morphs into the Yellow Ranger]
   Jason : Tyrranosaurus! [morphs into the Red Ranger]

[The Power Rangers are soon standing back in the city, ready for
 action.]

Rangers : Power Rangers!

[There's no time to lose - Cyclopsis has just destroyed another
 building.]

Red Ranger : All right! Let's get to work! Tyrannosaurus Power!

[The Tyrannosaurus rises out of its fire pit.]

Black Ranger : Oh yeah! I call on the power of the Mastodon!

[The Mastodon comes running through the ice.]

Blue Ranger : Prodigious! Triceratops Power!

[The Triceratops appears in the desert.]

Pink Ranger : I call on the power of the Pterodactyl!

[The Pterodactyl flies out of its volcano.]

Yellow Ranger : I call on the power of the Sabre-toothed Tiger!

[The Sabre-toothed Tiger arrives out of the forest.]

Rangers : Yeah!

[They leap into the air to board their Zords. Cyclopsis advances
 on them yet again.]

Goldar : [in Cyclopsis] Give me your -best- shot!

[The Zords attack Cyclopsis. The Mastodon snorts an icy blast through
 its trunk; the Triceratops fires at Cyclopsis from its back blasters;
 the Pterodactyl fires electrical charges; the Sabre-toothed Tiger
 fires from -its- back blasters. There is a tremendous shower of
 sparks as these attacks hit home.]

[The Tyrannosaurus steps in to challenge Cyclopsis one-on-one.
 Cyclopsis easily restrains the Zord, pushes it back, and slices it
 with one of its arm-blades.]

Red Ranger : [in Tyrannosaurus] Switching to Megazord, now!
             [makes fist]

[The Dinozord insignia lights up.]

Voice : Megazord Sequence has been initiated!

[The Megazord quickly forms, its left arm now restored.]

Voice : Megazord activated!

[Cross to the Rangers in the cockpit.]

Red Ranger : Power Sword! Now!

[The Power Sword flies down from the gloomy sky and is caught by
 the Megazord. Cross over to Cyclopsis.]

Goldar : [in Cyclopsis, taunting] You can't win, Rangers!

[A brief duel ensues. The Megazord swings its Sword at Cyclopsis,
 which parries the blow with an arm-blade. The Megazord steps past
 Cyclopsis and turns to face it again. It swings and is blocked once
 more. Cyclopsis hacks at the Megazord's right shoulder and then
 kicks it in the mid-section; the Megazord is pushed back. Cross to
 its cockpit.]

Red Ranger : Time to bring in Dragonzord Power! [plays dagger flute]

[The Dragonzord comes out of the sea, whole once more. It arms and
 fires its missiles at Cyclopsis, but once again they serve as little
 more than a distraction for the mighty War-Zord. The Dragonzord
 joins the Megazord for a joint attack on Cyclopsis. It steps past
 Cyclopsis as the the latter locks blades with the Megazord.]

[The Dragonzord roars. It swings its tail and, in a fitting twist of
 fate, shears off both of Cyclopsis's blades. Cyclopsis staggers,
 regarding its now-empty hands. The Dragonzord raises its arms in
 celebration; the Megazord raises its Power Sword, ready to press
 this sudden advantage. Cross to the cockpit.]

Rangers : Dragonzord Battle Mode!

[The Battle Mode Dragonzord forms and wields its Power Staff.
 Cyclopsis lumbers forward and is struck with the pointed end of the
 Staff. Whilst it is disoriented from that blow, the transformed
 Dragonzord strikes again. Cyclopsis stumbles to one side. The
 Battle Mode Dragonzord turns to face its opponent and lines up the
 Power Staff for another attack.]

[Lokar suddenly intervenes with another electrical blast, zapping
 the Battle Mode Dragonzord into a building. The Rangers are jolted
 around by the impact.]

Red Ranger : [urgently] Aaah! Titanus! Now!

[Titanus arrives and the MegaDragonzord begins to form. Cross to the
 cockpit.]

Rangers : Ultrazord! Power up!

[The Ultrazord forms. Cross to its cockpit.]

Red Ranger : You two have -had- it!

[Lokar cackles to himself, hovering in the sky above Cyclopsis. Cross
 back to the Ultrazord cockpit.]

Red Ranger : All right Rangers, let's finish 'em! Lock on and -fire-!

[Cross over to Goldar inside Cyclopsis.]

Mechanised Voice : Overload! Overload! Too many changes! System
                   locked!
          Goldar : [furious] No! I don't -believe- it!
                   [swings fist down]

[The Ultrazord's artillery fire slams into Cyclopsis, causing the
 War-Zord to short-circuit. Lokar flinches and is not seen again.]

Goldar : [in Cyclopsis] It can't be! Abandon ship!

[He vanishes from the cockpit. Cyclopsis falls, glows brightly, and
 explodes; finally defeated. Titanus roars triumphantly as the
 Rangers celebrate inside the cockpit.]

     Rangers : Yeah!
 Pink Ranger : [excitedly] See that?!
  Red Ranger : All right!
Black Ranger : Yeah!

[The Rangers propel themselves out of the cockpit and down towards
 the ground. The sky is now light once more. Cross over to Rita and
 her minions inside the Earth Palace.]

   Rita : [furious] Uhh!! I can't -stand- it!
  Baboo : [nervously] Ooh, I certainly regret your displeasure!
 Squatt : It wasn't -my- fault; I was -asleep-!
Finster : You -can't- blame me! This time it's all -Goldar's- fault!
          Hmpf!
 Goldar : [urgently] Never mind that! Rita! Get us out of here before
          Ultrazord blasts us!

[Rita laughs, and the Palace takes off away from Earth. Cross briefly
 to the Balcony.]

Rita : Hah! Yes!

[Focus on the Palace continuing to rise into the sky.]

  Rita's voice : Goldar!
Goldar's voice : Yes, Empress?
  Rita's voice : [furious] Don't ever tell me what to do again!!

[Goldar growls something in response.]

[Cross back over to the park. A large crowd of people suddenly
 reappears. Shortly afterwards two more crowd sections re-materialise,
 including Angela and Mr Caplan. Everyone celebrates, greatly relieved
 to finally be free of Rita's dimensional vortex. Last to reappear are
 Bulk and Skull, who arrive on the stage still dressed in their
 superhero garb. Bulk gasps.]

Bulk & Skull : WE'RE BACK!

[They kneel down and start to kiss the stage, assuring themselves of
 its reality and repeatedly asserting "We're back!" in delight.
 Skull's cape is on the stage floor in front of him and he kisses
 that by mistake.]

Skull : [after a moment] That's my cape!

[He laughs merrily, pushes it aside, and kisses the boards beneath.
 Before this spectacle can continue any further, a white haired lady
 comes up and pushes them off-stage.]

Lady : Get -out- of here!

[The lady heads for the podium, about to make an announcement.]

Ernie : [suddenly pointing] Look, everyone! It's the Power Rangers!

[Everyone turns as one to see the Power Rangers standing at the edge
 of the crowd.]

Ms Appleby : [touched] My heroes! [applauds]

[The applause is taken up by the crowd, who start to cheer as well.]

Mr Caplan : They must have -saved- us! [laughs in relief and applauds]
     Lady : [at podium, via microphone] Clear the way for the Power
            Rangers! [applauds]

[The Power Rangers walk towards the stage, accompanied by the applause
 and cheers of an admiring crowd. Bulk and Skull are standing,
 forgotten, to the right of the stage.]

Skull : [calling] What about -us-?

[Bulk removes his goggles in disappointment; another scheme has
 failed.]

Lady's voice : Make way for the Power Rangers!

[The Rangers continue their way through the crowd.]

Pink Ranger : [to crowd] Thanks! [happy laugh] Thanks!

[The two boys who heckled Bulk and Skull in the previous episode are
 now heatedly discussing the Power Rangers with a third boy.]

Boy #1 : Red Ranger is -the- strongest!
Boy #2 : Uh-uh! The -Black- Ranger has the most -Power-!
Boy #3 : No way! The Blue Ranger is the coolest!
  Girl : [joining in] I hear that the Pink and Yellow Rangers are the
         -best-!

[A young man wearing green walks past, smiling as he listens to them.
 It is Tommy the former Green Ranger; here to support his friends on
 their day of recognition.]

Tommy : [to kids] I'll let you guys in on a little secret. They're
        -all- totally awesome!

[Tommy steps back as his former comrades approach. He grips hands with
 each Ranger as they go past. Each turns to Tommy, perhaps to offer
 some word of encouragement, perhaps simply to thank him for being
 there. The Blue and Black Rangers both grip Tommy's shoulder
 supportively as they go past. Tommy smiles proudly as he watches his
 friends step into their place of honour on the stage.]

[The Rangers stand in the Power Blaster line-up(Blue, Pink, Red,
 Yellow, Black) to match the colours on the Power Blaster poster
 behind them. The crowd quietens down as the lady at the podium
 begins her speech, finally revealing her identity.]

Lady : [via microphone] As the Mayor of Angel Grove City, it is with
       great pride that I stand here before you in the presence of
       -true- heroes! [indicates Rangers] They have risked their
       lives countless times for the safety of our city and its
       people.

[Tommy stands amongst the crowd, listening and smiling.]

Mayor : They are -true- examples of Good triumphing over Evil, and now
        it is time to thank them. They are the Power Rangers!
        [applauds]

[The Rangers step forward and wave, met by cheers and applause.]

  Pink Ranger : Thanks!
 Black Ranger : Thanks!
   Red Ranger : Lookin' good!
Yellow Ranger : [waving] Hi!

[Tommy proudly clenches a fist and then applauds, as do the people
 around him. The shot pulls back to show the extent of the crowd. On
 stage, the Rangers put their hands together and leap into the air.]

Together : Power Rangers!

[Cross over to the inside of the Command Center and the five unmorphed
 Rangers inside.]

  Zordon : Congratulations, Power Rangers! Victory is yours. You have
           dealt Rita a serious blow and have proven yourselves to be
           the mightiest heroes on Earth.
   Jason : [pleased] Thanks, Zordon.
  Zordon : Rangers, the time has come for you to choose again.
Kimberly : [suddenly wary] What do you mean?
  Zordon : You have gone far beyond the call of duty and saved your
           world from a terrible fate.

[Each Ranger is briefly focused upon as Zordon continues to speak.]

  Zordon : And although the danger has not passed completely, you may
           now choose whether you wish to remain Power Rangers or
           return to your regular lives. The decision is yours.
   Jason : There's no decision to be made, Zordon.
           [looks to the others] I think we -all- feel the same way.
Kimberly : Yeah; we're the Power Rangers!
   Trini : [cheerfully] To the end!
    Zack : The reason you chose us was to stop Rita, but it doesn't
           end there.

[Trini shakes her head.]

Billy : [earnestly] There are other villains! Other crimes to protect
        the city from!
Trini : Zordon, you've taught us what truth, honour, and real courage
        are all about. We don't want to abandon that now!
 Zack : So, in other words...[jovial] You can't get rid of us!

[The Rangers laugh.]

Zordon : I am very pleased to hear you say those things. The world is
         very lucky to have you; and so am I. May the Power protect
         you...always.

[Alpha suddenly interrupts them with an attack of sneezing.]

Alpha : [using handkerchief] Sorry, Rangers! I've caught the computer
        virus!

[The Rangers laugh again. Alpha wanders off, still sneezing.]

Jason : [to others] Guys?

[They put their hands together and leap into the air again.]

Together : POWER RANGERS!
