[The episode opens in the Angel Grove High School grounds, but then
 crosses to the Youth Center in a seemingly natural sequence. Someone
 carries an "Angel Grove Talent Show" sign past Tommy and Jason as
 they walk towards the doorway leading into the main room. Tommy wears
 a green vest and headband; Jason has similar red garments. Both young
 men are also wearing gis.]

[Tommy and Jason grip hands briefly and then approach Mr Caplan, who
 is standing just inside the doorway, observing quietly. Jason stands
 to his left, Tommy to his right.]

    Jason : Hi, Mr C.
Mr Caplan : [slightly startled] Oh hi, boys.

[Note - Mr Caplan made this remark whilst Tommy was out of his line
 of sight. He must truly have eyes in the back of his head!]

[The three of them watch a varied group of people rehearsing their
 Talent Show acts inside the main room. They include a magician, a
 unicyclist, a pair of Shakespearean actors, varied musicians, and
 a gymnast or dancer. This last girl also wears a pair of large
 green monster feet that are tipped with yellow claws.]

Mr Caplan's voice : Looking forward to a -great- show of talent!
    Jason's voice : [warmly] Gonna be awesome.

[Mr Caplan nods, pleased.]

    Tommy : This is a great idea, Mr Caplan. Thanks for thinking
            of it.
Mr Caplan : [smiling] Yeah.

[Jason taps Tommy on the arm and they walk over to the stage, leaving
 Mr Caplan behind. Billy is sitting on the steps, wearing a cowboy hat
 and tuning a guitar. Trini is also sitting there, near a cardboard
 box. Kimberly can be seen for a brief second, standing on the stage.]

Jason : How's rehearsal going?

[Ernie(who was previously off-screen) addresses the query. As he
 does so, Zack moves into the background.]

Ernie : [consulting clipboard] It's going fine. Except we're having a
        hard time keeping track of everybody's -props-!

[Ernie bends down to check the box of props.]

Trini : Yeah, we're still looking for a few things.
Tommy : Oh no. Speaking of props, Jase; I forgot our belts.
Jason : Ah, don't worry about it. We'll get our belts later.
Tommy : [insistently] No n-no, we have to -have- them! Look, I'll be
        right back. [claps Jason's arm] All right. [leaves]
Jason : [smiling] All right! We'll wait for you here.

[Kimberly throws something into the prop box. Jason leans over to
 have a look at its contents.]

[Cross up to an exterior shot of Rita's Palace, followed by a panning
 shot towards the top of the building.]

Finster's voice : Wonderful! Marvellous! -Stupendous-!

[Over at his workshop, Finster is closely absorbed in a book.]

Finster : Ah-haa...ah-ha! [puts book down] Ahhh! [chuckles]

[Finster turns his attention to a clay model on a stand. As he does
 so, there is a sweeping shot of his other grisly creations on their
 shelf. Some move jerkily, as if manipulated by a fell power.]

Finster : Now let's see, a few more fangs here and -there-...perfect!
          [proudly] Oh; she'll be -so- surprised!

[Finster finishes molding his latest creature and moves over to the
 Monstermatic, leaving the model where it is. The platform on top of
 the stand begins to rotate.]

Finster : It's the perfect birthday present for her Evilness!

[Finster chuckles and starts up the Monstermatic.]

Finster : Power Rangers, beware!

[The Monstermatic goes to work, and Finster's latest creation is soon
 complete. Before the smoke has a chance to clear, the unseen monster
 travels down to Earth via a beam of reddish/pink energy. He appears
 from out of a cloud of dust at the edge of a deep ravine, a dimly
 seen reptilian creature with a tail, standing on two legs, obscured
 by the glare of the sun. A series of close-up shots comes next,
 showcasing different areas of the monster's anatomy.]

[The initial focus is upon the monster's gaping maw, where irregular
 canines are set in slimy yellow/orange gums. From here, the focus
 shifts onto the right side of his blue reptilian face. His eyelids
 are red, coarse, and closed. As if on cue, they suddenly blink open,
 showing red-pupiled eyes which are white and goggly.]

[The monster now spreads the five black claw-tipped fingers on one
 hand. The tips of three sharp blades can be seen emerging from his
 blue wrist, giving the impression of a spring-loaded weapon which
 can be extended when needed. A moment later he turns his arm,
 concealing the blades from sight.]

[The monster's cavernous mouth is shown once more, and then he's off
 and running through the woods. These more distant shots show yellow
 pectorals on his chest, and a circular grey emblem of some kind on
 his midriff. There are spines on his shoulders and head.]

Monster : (speaking throughout) [laughs] It's good to be on Planet
          Earth! [brief chuckle] Power Rangers! [chuckles] And I'm
          -here-! [gleeful laughter]

[Cross back to the Youth Center, which now appears emptier than
 before. The perspective is that of someone just behind the stage
 curtain peering through a gap. Thus, Kimberly, who was standing
 on the stage, is now in close focus. Jason can be seen on the
 floor below, glancing at Ernie's clipboard. Ernie gently motions
 for him to move aside so that he can address the others.]

   Ernie : Kimberly, Trini, Zack, Billy; help me sort this stuff out!
Kimberly : [obligingly] Oh sure, Ernie.

[Kimberly goes down the stage steps(Billy is also glimpsed as he
 moves over to help). The camera sweeps over to the right, towards
 a basket of eggs that has been left back-stage.]

Bulk's voice : [low] Hey, I smell boiled eggs!

[Bulk advances on the egg basket whilst Skull lurks in the background.
 He quickly comes forward at Bulk's urging, stealing a quick glance at
 the empty doorway on the way.]

Bulk : [growing excitement] Ohh! Skull, I found the eggs! I found the
       eggs! Eggs, eggs, eggs!!

[Bulk fishes an egg out of the basket.]

Skull : [pointing] Egg!

[Bulk gives Skull an irritated look.]

Mr Caplan's voice : Looking for something, boys?

[Bulk chokes and quickly replaces the egg. He and Skull do their best
 to look inconspicuous as Mr Caplan approaches.]

Bulk : Ah, no, no! N- [adlibbing] Mr Caplan; we were just...-I- was..
       just..looking for my..guitar!

[Mr Caplan chuckles to himself.]

    Skull : [crafty] Yeah. He likes to check his instruments before
            he performs!
Mr Caplan : [surprised, to Bulk] Oh, really? Well, -fine- then.

[Bulk confirms this whopper with a smile and a nod.]

Mr Caplan : [suspiciously] And you, Skull? What are you doing here?

[Bulk makes a subtle motion of encouragement to Skull. Skull thinks
 for a moment, then grins winningly and picks up a large pair of
 cymbals. He is so excited by this sudden brainwave that he fails to
 notice Bulk frantically gesturing "No!".]

Skull : [loudly] Just checking my cymbals, Mr C!!

[Skull clashes the cymbals together, producing a spasmodic reaction
 from Bulk and Mr Caplan. The vibrations also manage to somehow flip
 Mr Caplan's toupee off his head.]

[Cross back to the woods, where the monster is still running.]

Monster : Hehe-hehehe! Er-heh! Destroy! DESTROY! Heh-heh-heh-heh!

[The perspective adjusts to that of someone watching through a
 telescope. The focus draws away from Earth, linking over to Rita
 on the Palace Balcony. She moves away from her telescope, surprise
 quickly turning to anger.]

  Rita : Huhh! Who? -Who- sent that creature; without getting my
         authorisation?
Goldar : [turns threateningly towards Baboo & Squatt] Yes, -who-?
 Baboo : Uh...I, uh...
Squatt : [simultaneously] Not me!
  Rita : I know! I told Finster it's my birthday today. He created it
         on his own and sent it as a surprise!

Baboo & Squatt : [right on cue] Happy birthday!

[Rita acknowledges this with a nod and a laugh.]

  Rita : Well, I'm sure it needs a hand!
Squatt : [simultaneously] Huh?
  Rita : So get down there NOW, Goldar!!
Goldar : [bowing] -Yes-, O Evil One!
Squatt : [bowing] Right!
 Baboo : [bowing] Okey-dokey!
Goldar : To the park!
Squatt : Okay; we're ready!

[Goldar, Squatt, and Baboo blink out of sight. Rita walks towards the
 edge of the Balcony, her features set in a somewhat forced looking
 grin.]

[There is an aerial view of Angel Grove Park, and then Tommy is shown
 running along in a wooded section. He talks excitedly to himself as
 he contemplates the upcoming Talent Show.]

Tommy : This is gonna be cool! After I win, it's gonna be great!
        Yes!

[Tommy spin-kicks a branch, knocking a leaf free.]

Tommy : It's gonna be cool! Yeah..

[Cross up to the moon, focusing in on Rita's Palace.]

Rita's voice : Finster! FINSTER!!!

[Rita starts to walk away from the Balcony...]

Finster's voice : [serene] Yes, my Queen?

[...and soon arrives in Finster's workshop.]

   Rita : [irate] Goldar and Fang are about to attack, but -Tommy's-
          there, and he could -ruin- everything!
Finster : [calmly] Ah-hah.
   Rita : What are you gonna -do- about it, Finster?

[Rita is now smiling, apparently confident that Finster will have the
 answer.]

Finster : We wouldn't want him to do -that-. I shall -send- the Putty
          Patrol!

[Tommy is now walking along at a more steady pace. All of a sudden,
 four Putties appear out of nowhere and move swiftly to encircle
 him. Each Putty flips over to swap places with its opposite number
 in the circle, and they shall be labelled according to their place
 in this new formation; starting with Putty #1 to Tommy's immediate
 left and continuing clockwise through to Putty #4.]

[After a tense moment, Tommy begins the fight by spin-kicking
 Putty #1. Without missing a beat, he back-kicks Putty #2,
 side-kicks Putty #3(knocking it down), and then spin-kicks
 Putty #4.]

[Putty #1 knees Tommy and stamps down at him whilst he is on the
 ground. Tommy dodges aside and kicks Putty #1's legs out from under
 it. Remaining in this crouched position, he delivers a low sweeping
 kick to Putty #2 and then stands back up. He ducks a punch from
 Putty #2, blocks a second, and then throws his opponent to the
 ground.]

[Putties #1 and #2 are now down for the count. There is no further
 sign of Putty #3(perhaps that initial kick was too much for it).]

[Putty #4 runs over and drops Tommy with a flying kick to his chest.
 Tommy springs back up, restrains the Putty's arm, and then lands
 two knee attacks. With a hard yank of the arm, Putty #4 is sent
 face-down onto the leafy ground.]

[The three remaining Putties lie in an arc around Tommy, starting
 with Putty #4 in front and continuing anti-clockwise through
 Putties #1 and #2. However, they don't stay still for long; all
 three quickly spring back up again.]

[Putties #1 and #4 close in for a joint attack. Tommy grabs hold
 of their arms and clunks the Putties together, back-to-back. He
 delivers a kick to each in rapid succession, producing a musical
 ding-dong sound. Both Putties collapse.]

[Now charged with adrenalin, Tommy is almost caught off guard by
 Putty #2 as it rolls past. He waits for it to stand up and then
 closes the distance with three spinning kicks. Putty #2 crouches
 down, legs wide apart, and blocks the last of these attacks with
 its hands.]

[Tommy throws a quick left, not at all prepared for what is about to
 happen. Putty #2 seizes his arm and steals the communicator off his
 wrist, flinging him back with the same motion. It holds out the
 purloined communicator in a taunting manner. Tommy gets back up;
 Putty #2 prepares to make a run for it.]

Tommy : Oh; so you want to play, huh? I could use the practice before
        the show anyway!

[Tommy chases after the cunning Putty and soon comes to a halt near
 a large tree, obviously fed up.]

Tommy : [angrily] Give me the communicator back!

[Putty #2 dances irritatingly in front of Tommy, mockingly holding
 out his communicator.]

Tommy : Look! I'm -done- fooling around!

[And with that, the trap is sprung. A net gathers around Tommy and
 hauls him up into the tree(along with a goodly quantity of twigs
 and dead leaves).]

   Tommy : Huh? Whoa! Ohh! Oh! Ah! C'mon! -Let- me outta here!
Putty #2 : Nope! {this one's a matter of interpretation though}
   Tommy : Ah! You -Putty-! Come on!

[The jeering Putty gibbers in delight as it holds Tommy's communicator
 above its head, remaining oblivious to the shower of dry leaves
 raining down from above.]

Tommy : Oh! Uh! You just -wait-!

[As Tommy struggles, his Morpher tumbles down out of the net. A
 hand reaches down to snatch it up. Said hand belongs to either
 Putty #2 or a newly arrived companion.]

Tommy : Uh! C'mon!! Let me outta here! Oh!

[Cross up to Rita spying through the telescope; her magnified eye is
 shown on the glass. She cackles in delight, either from witnessing
 Tommy's capture, or from observing the following scene.]

[Goldar, Baboo, and Squatt are moving through a mountainous area which
 resembles the place where the monster(now identified as Fang) first
 appeared. Any resemblance to the park, where they were supposed to be
 going, is fleeting at best.]

Squatt : Hey, I'm getting -hungry-!
Goldar : [angrily] Quiet; you're always hungry!
 Baboo : I'm a little peckish myself!
Squatt : [simultaneously] Yeah!
 Baboo : [suddenly] Uh, -look-! There's some -eggs-!

[Baboo has spotted a couple of blue speckled eggs under a bush. He and
 Squatt go to investigate.]

Goldar : [furiously] -What- are you fools doing?? Get back here!!!

[Baboo and Squatt ignore him. They each pick up an egg to examine.]

 Baboo : Ooh, yum-yum!
Squatt : Yeah!
 Baboo : Woohoo! Ooh, I like this!

[Squatt cracks open his egg(leaving one half on the ground), chuckles,
 and feasts on the yolk inside.]

Squatt : Oohh! Mm! [noisy eating sounds] That was delicious!

[Squatt throws the shell away and starts wiping the yolk off his
 mouth. Baboo finishes off the contents of the other egg in a less
 messy fashion.]

Baboo : Tasty! Hm. Scrumptious!

[Baboo flings the cracked egg over his shoulder. Its halves land near
 the half shell that Squatt threw away.]

Goldar : Put that down! [suddenly] Hey! There's Fang!

[A startled Fang has just turned up. He goes into battle stance.]

Rita : [watching through telescope] It looks like Fang is cracking up!

[Baboo and Squatt hastily retreat behind Goldar.]

Squatt : Uh-oh, he sounds kinda huffy! What's the -matter-??

[Fang advances angrily towards the startled henchmen.]

  Fang : How -could- you?
Goldar : What?
Squatt : [curiously] Whadaya -meeean-?
  Fang : You ate my gooney bird eggs!

[Fang drops to his knees and picks up the broken shells.]

Fang : Do you know how hard it is to -find- these? You can't just
       walk into a store and -buy- these, you know!

[Rita has been following all of this through her telescope.]

Rita : [turns head] Finster! [turns back to telescope]

[Cross back to what is becoming an increasingly volatile situation.]

  Fang : Oh, I was going to have these eggs for -lunch-!
Squatt : Really? They were -good-!

[Probably not the wisest thing to say under the circumstances. Fang's
 eyes blink in rage.]

Fang : Were -good-?!?

[Fang gently places the egg shells on the ground and then stands up.]

Fang : [incensed] Rrh! Ah! I'm gonna tear you apart!

[Squatt and Baboo recoil in fright. Goldar holds his sword in a
 defensive stance as Fang prepares to attack.]

[Back at the Youth Center, a spotlight briefly illuminates Bulk and
 Skull as they practice their guitar work for the Talent Show. Skull
 has a bass guitar; Bulk has an electric one. Skull now has a roll
 of yellow police tape wrapped like a sash around his left shoulder.
 Bulk is wearing sunglasses.]

[Billy enters the room and walks over to Jason. As they speak, it is
 revealed that Kimberly is standing nearby. Zack and Trini walk over
 during the course of the conversation.]

   Billy : [agitated] I wonder what's keeping Tommy!
   Jason : [troubled] I don't know. He's not answering his
           communicator, and he should've been back half an hour ago.
Kimberly : Yeah, did he go to -Japan- to pick up the black belts, or
           -what-?
    Zack : Y'know, it's not funny, you guys. I mean...he could be in
           trouble.
   Billy : [worried] Affirmative. I'm sure -something's- wrong.

[Jason's communicator beeps. Jason covers it with his hand and
 motions for the others to follow him out to the corridor. Once
 there, he activates the communicator.]

 Jason : [to communicator] We read you, Zordon.
Zordon : Teleport to the Command Center; immediately!
 Jason : [to communicator] We're on our way.

[The five of them teleport away and reappear in the Command Center.]

 Jason : [tense] Zordon! Tommy doesn't answer his communicator!
Zordon : That is why I have called you here. Observe the Viewing
         Globe.

[The Rangers turn to take a look at the Viewing Globe. It shows a
 replay of Tommy's capture.]

  Zordon : He is being held hostage by Rita's Putty Patrol.
Kimberly : [worried] Oh no, Tommy!
   Trini : [observantly] He's -really- in a bind.
    Zack : [quickly] We gotta help him.
  Zordon : Not so fast, Zack. We have another problem.

[The Viewing Globe now shows images of Fang, including the sequence
 of him running through the woods. None of them relate to his current
 predicament with Rita's henchmen.]

  Zordon : Rita has released a gnarling fang monster, who intends
           to destroy the Earth.
    Zack : [shaken] Man. Now he's ugly!
   Billy : [revolted] Precisely. An absolutely atrocious beast!
Kimberly : But, Zordon...shouldn't we help Tommy first?
  Zordon : He is capable of handling his situation. Your first
           priority must be to destroy Fang before he can unleash his
           awesome power.
   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 : Tyrannosaurus! [morphs into the Red Ranger]

[Five Ranger coloured beams of light soar out of the city and over to
 the mountainous area where Fang and his antagonists were last seen.
 They go into battle stance, Blade Blasters drawn.]

Rangers : Power Rangers!
 Goldar : [to Fang] Huhh! You! Attack!
  Baboo : Okay? {Not 100% sure - it's jumbled up with Goldar's line}
   Fang : [incensed] No!! Not until I get some gooney bird eggs!
 Goldar : [crafty] The Power Rangers have all the gooney bird eggs!
          Attack, and you can have them!
   Fang : Really?
  Baboo : Yeah! With -sprinkles- on 'em!

[Goldar, Baboo, and Squatt throw themselves out of the way as Fang
 charges past. His monstrous fingers claw convulsively at the air
 as he reaches the edge of the ravine.]

[Fang stamps at the ground like an enraged bull, showing two feet
 with large pointy appendages. Now working himself into a frenzy,
 the snarling monster beats at his chest and then knocks some small
 boulders into the ravine. These rocks have little effect upon the
 Rangers, who are standing down there.]

 Red Ranger : Rangers!
Blue Ranger : Whoa!
 Red Ranger : Let's send this guy to the -dentist-!
       Fang : [angrily kicks boulders] Huh! I want gooney bird eggs!

[The five Rangers leap up out of the ravine in this order(Red, Black,
 Blue, Yellow, Pink). Fang charges at them, easily knocking away the
 Red and Black Rangers when they attempt to attack. The Blue and Pink
 Rangers approach. Fang flails at the Blue Ranger, misses, and then
 viciously claws the pair of them. After facing an ineffective strike
 from the Yellow Ranger, he takes her down too.]

[Fang returns his attention to the Red and Black Rangers with a
 very quick "Give-em-to-me!". He knocks down the Black Ranger, dodges
 a spin-kick from the Red Ranger, and then rakes him across the chest
 with his clawed fingers. The Red Ranger rolls back and stands up,
 the front of his suit now scorched. The other Rangers rejoin him,
 and all five go into battle pose.]

[Goldar, Baboo, and Squatt come running up to join Fang.]

 Baboo : [to Rangers] You'd better leave, or I'll be forced to raise
         my voice in anger! Go get 'em, Fang! Begone! Skedaddle!
Squatt : [simultaneously] Yeah! What he said!

[Fang raises his hands in triumph, but makes no further move to
 attack. The Rangers wait to see what will happen next.]

 Baboo : Huh?
Goldar : [angrily] Fang! Attack them! [points at Rangers]
 Fang  : Yes! I'll mash them into moondust!

[Fang goes over to a pile of large rocks. Three cutaway shots show
 him throwing them, and before long the Rangers find themselves on
 the defensive against a steady bombardment.]

Blue Ranger : Hey!

[Fang laughs.]

Squatt : [cheering him on] Hey Fang, you really know how to -rock-!

[Goldar charges up his sword and fires blasts at the Rangers, knocking
 them back into the ravine. Squatt, Baboo, Goldar, and Fang step up to
 the edge to gloat.]

Baboo : [impressed chuckle] Hey! Goldar, you were splendiferous!

[Squatt laughs happily; Baboo nods. Fang says nothing.]

Goldar : [snarling] -Yeah-!

[Back in the woods, Tommy has started to work his way out of the net.
 Putty #2 has been joined by a fellow Patroller, and both are standing
 guard below. Fortunately for Tommy, they are mostly engrossed in
 an examination of his Morpher and communicator.]

Red Ranger's voice : [via communicator] Tommy, come in, man; can you
                     -hear- me??

[Tommy stares down at the two Putties(both of which have their
 backs turned), and starts to plot his next move.]

[Back in the mountains, Baboo, Squatt, and Goldar are still laughing
 to themselves(Goldar : Haha! Yes!). But Fang has had enough; he
 turns and runs away.]

Goldar : Huh?

[Goldar starts to pursue Fang, along with Baboo and Squatt.]

 Fang : I'll -never- get my gooney bird eggs! They're gone! Leave
        me alone!
Baboo : [jabbering simultaneously] Fang! W-where ya going, Fang? Get a
        box or something! {Not exactly sure on this last line}

[The distraught Fang soon out-distances them and returns to his
 broken eggs in misery. He kneels down, holding the shells.]

Fang : [tragically] My gooney bird eggs! They ate my gooney bird eggs!
       [tears trickle down his scaly face]
Rita : [approaching] So Fang, what's the matter?

[Once again, Fang gently sets down the shells before standing. Rita
 laughs.]

Fang : [angrily] What's so -funny-?
Rita : Huhh! Do as I command, and you shall -have- your eggs! Do you
       promise to obey?

[The overtaxed Fang sighs heavily.]

Rita : Watch this!

[The orb on Rita's Wand emits a red spark. Fang's broken eggs glow
 brightly and suddenly become whole again.]

Fang : [happily] Oh boy! My -eggs-!!

[Rita laughs and casts a second spell, returning the eggs to their
 broken state.]

Fang : [in despair] Oh! No!!

[The cruel sorceress laughs again.]

Fang : [anguished] My eggs!
Rita : You want eggs? Destroy the Power Rangers!
Fang : Anything you say!
Rita : Now grow, Fang, GROW!!

[Rita throws her Wand. It falls out of the sky in its usual manner and
 enlarges Fang in the regular way. The "spring-blades" extend from his
 wrists, and a pair of horns grow out of his head. One of his larger
 eyes opens up. He starts to chuckle gleefully; a sound with little
 sanity left in it. Rita watches from the ground, well satisfied with
 her own cunning.]

   Rita : Uh, okay! Get 'em, Fang!
   Fang : Yeess, my Evilness!
Rangers : [from ravine] We need Dinozord Power now!

[Separate shots show the Zords travelling out of their habitats
 in this order(Tyrannosaurus, Mastodon, Triceratops, Sabre-toothed
 Tiger, Pterodactyl). The Rangers leap up into the air in this
 order(Red, Pink/Yellow, Black/Blue.]

   Red Ranger : [in Tyrannosaurus] Power Rangers...-log on-!
 Black Ranger : [in Mastodon] All right! Let's do it to it!
  Blue Ranger : [in Triceratops] Powered up and online!
Yellow Ranger : [in Sabre-toothed Tiger] Ready to rock and roll!
  Pink Ranger : [in Pterodactyl] Let's -nail- this buck-toothed bully!
   Red Ranger : [in Tyrannosaurus] All right Rangers, time to Power
                Up! [inserts Power Crystal]
Other Rangers : [inserting Power Crystals] 2..1..Power Up!
   Red Ranger : [in Tyrannosaurus] We need Megazord Power!
                [pushes Power Crystal] Bring 'em together!

[Megazord Tank Mode forms. There is a brief shot of the Rangers
 in the cockpit, followed by one of the travelling Mega Tank.]

Red Ranger : [in cockpit] Engage Megazord -Battle- Mode!
   Rangers : [clenching fists] Right!
     Voice : Megazord Sequence has been initiated!

[The Mega Tank converts into Megazord Battle Mode.]

Voice : Megazord activated!

[Fang kicks at the ground.]

      Fang : [frenzied] Eggs! I want eggs!
Red Ranger : [in cockpit] I don't know what he's talking about, but
             we'd better -stop- this thing before he does some -real-
             damage!

[The Megazord blocks Fang's first kick, but is struck by his second.
 Fang rushes forward to grab hold of the Megazord, but is easily
 repulsed.]

Fang : Eggs! Rita says -you- have eggs! I want them now!

[Fang darts past the Megazord, slashing it as he goes.]

Fang : Give them!

[The Megazord whirls around to face Fang. The Red Ranger lays down
 the law.]

Red Ranger : [in cockpit] Back off! We don't -have- any eggs! Rita
             -lied- to you! If you don't stop fighting, we're gonna
             have to -make- you stop! Got it?
      Fang : [beyond reason] Uh! I'm gonna get -you-!

[Fang stabs his right wrist blades into the Megazord, pushing it
 back a few steps. The Megazord steps deftly aside, and Fang's
 intended follow-up goes wild. He turns around to continue the
 attack, quivering with rage. The Megazord blocks his kick, but
 fails to avoid another wrist-blade raking.]

Red Ranger : [in cockpit] All right; let's -finish- him, guys!

[The Megazord restrains Fang, but can't hold him down for long. After
 pulling free, Fang slashes the Megazord twice across the chest in
 a criss-cross manner. The combined force of these blows is enough
 to spin the Megazord around.]

Rangers : [in cockpit] Whoa!!

[Fang laughs crazily.]

Red Ranger : [in cockpit] All right, Rangers; let's -get- it together!
             This lizard's not goin' down easily! We've got to give it
             all we've -got-!
      Fang : [frenzied] Give me the eggs! -Now-! Give me!

[Fang slams both blade-enhanced hands into the Megazord's chest.]

Rita : [on ground, ecstatic] Yeahhh!!!

[The Megazord topples over onto its side.]

      Fang : Give me! [laughs] Eggs!
Red Ranger : [in cockpit] Oh -man-!
      Fang : Now I'm going to -finish- you! [laughs]
Red Ranger : This -reptile's- a lot tougher than he looks!
      Fang : [amidst crazed laughter] EGGS!!!
Red Ranger : [in cockpit] We could sure use Tommy's help! Where
             -is- he?

[Apparently convinced that the Rangers no longer pose a threat,
 Rita turns her attention to a nearby dam.]

Rita : Hah; the dam! [to Fang] Okay..now stomp it to the ground!
Fang : [thrilled] Yeahh-heh-heh-heh-heh!

[Fang focuses in on the dam.]

Fang : We'll -soak- them!

[Fang laughs and walks off towards the dam.]

Red Ranger : [in cockpit] He's heading for the dam!
      Fang : [excitedly] We are victorious! Heh!
Red Ranger : [in cockpit] That's what -you- think! After him, Rangers!
             Let's -do- it!

[The Megazord stands back up and follows after Fang.]

[Back in the woods, the two Putties are still engrossed in their
 study of Tommy's communicator and Morpher. Consequently, they
 fail to notice the owner of these items clambering down the net.]

[Tommy checks on his lax guardians one last time, and seeing their
 backs still turned, swings into action. His feet slam into each
 Putty's back, knocking both of them down. His Morpher and
 communicator go flying.]

[One of the Putties has ceased to move, but its companion is still
 capable of putting up a fight. This Putty spin-kicks at Tommy, who
 dodges and retaliates with a kick of his own.]

[Another Putty charges into the fray. Tommy quickly blocks its
 initial attacks and then ducks under its swing. He too swings
 at its head, and the Putty ducks in an identical manner. Tommy
 ducks a kick, repeatedly punches the Putty's chest, and then
 finishes it off with a kick.]

[The Putties vanish, defeated at last. Tommy recovers his Morpher
 and communicator.]

Red Ranger's voice : [via communicator] Tommy! Tommy; do you read me?

Tommy : [to communicator] I'm right here, buddy. Where -are- you guys?

Red Ranger's voice : [via communicator, urgently] We're at the Angel
                     Grove Dam! We need your help! Hurry!

Tommy : [to communicator] I'm on my way!

[The Morphing Sequence begins.]

Tommy : Dragonzord! [morphs into the Green Ranger]

[The Green Ranger arrives at the battleground.]

Green Ranger : All -right-! [plays dagger flute]

[The Dragonzord emerges from the sea to guard the dam against the
 rampaging Fang. With a roar, it lashes him with his tail, and
 then steps aside to avoid a blow.  The Dragonzord deflects a kick,
 claws at Fang, and then launches another swinging tail attack. Fang
 rolls under the tail and knocks the Dragonzord back next to the
 Megazord.]

Red Ranger : [in cockpit] Switch to Dragonzord Battle Mode!

[The Megazord starts to disassemble. The Battle Mode Dragonzord
 forms and is soon joined by the Tyrannosaurus. It draws back
 the Power Staff, ready to attack.]

[Fang jumps over the Tyrannosaurus's tail, then blocks an attack
 from the Battle Mode Dragonzord and pushes it aside. He slashes
 the Tyrannosaurus across the chest and then turns around just in
 time to catch hold of the Power Staff as it swings down. He
 shoves the weapon up and back, with the added effect of pushing
 the Battle Mode Dragonzord back as well.]

[The Tyrannosaurus strikes Fang. He spins, rolls back, and
 quickly stands again. Electricity flows through his horns. It
 blasts into both the Tyrannosaurus and the Battle Mode
 Dragonzord.]

[Once again, the Power Staff falls from the sky in front of the
 Battle Mode Dragonzord.]

Red Ranger : [in Tyrannosaurus] Switch Modes!

[The Megazord starts to re-assemble.]

Red Ranger : [in cockpit] We need Titanus now!

[Titanus arrives.]

Rangers : [in cockpit] Ultrazord! Power Up!

[The MegaDragonzord forms and docks with Titanus to form the
 Ultrazord.]

Red Ranger : [in cockpit] Let's -finish- it!

[Fang sneers and starts to charge.]

Red Ranger : [in cockpit] All right, Rangers!
   Rangers : Lock on and fire all weapons!

[Ultrazord fire blasts into Fang, engulfing him in a cyclone of yellow
 energy.]

Fang : [falling] Ohh...nooo!!!!! Please...

[And with a final strangled cry, Fang explodes.]

Red Ranger : [in cockpit] Guess we took care of -you-, Frogface!

[Titanus roars in triumph. The Rangers celebrate inside the
 Ultrazord cockpit.]

   Red Ranger : All right!
  Blue Ranger : Yeah!
Yellow Ranger : All right!
   Red Ranger : We did it!
         Rita : [furious] You'll PAY for THIS!!

[Cross to an exterior shot of Angel Grove High School and then switch
 over to the six Rangers entering the Youth Center. Jason contacts
 Zordon. The others gather around, except for Billy, who appears to be
 watching the Talent Show(and possibly also acting as a look-out.]

Jason : [to communicator] Good news, Zordon. We destroyed Rita's plans
        -again-!
 Zack : [to communicator] Yeah, it was Morphinomenal!

[This is accompanied by laughter.]

Zordon : [communicating] Congratulations, Power Rangers, on a job well
         done!

Ernie's voice : Hey!

[Ernie takes them by surprise as he emerges from the Juice Bar. Jason
 quickly covers his communicator.]

Ernie : Where have you guys been? You're up -next-!

[All six of them hurry to join the Talent Show.]

Zack : [to Tommy & Jason] Rock the house, fellas!

[Ernie is now up on stage in the darkened room, apparently acting as
 compere. Stagehands are setting up a couple of wooden blocks for
 Tommy and Jason's performance.]

Ernie : [at microphone] Okay, next up we got Tommy and Jason. Let's
        give 'em a big hand, huh?

[Tommy and Jason head for the stage accompanied by applause and
 cheering. Jason is now wearing his black belt also.]

[They leap up onto the stage, bow to the expectant crowd, and slowly
 sweep their arms up to their chest in a focusing sequence. They turn
 their heads rapidly from side to side, punch the air from side to
 side, and then go into a couple of different defensive stances. They
 front-kick, spin-kick, and then turn to face each other with a flurry
 of rapid hand movements.]

[Jason spin-kicks and low-kicks. Tommy ducks and jumps accordingly. He
 blocks Jason and throws two spinning kicks, first high and then low.
 Jason ducks, jumps, and then blocks a punch. Both of them pose to the
 front and then shatter the boards.]

[Jason and Tommy bow once more to a burst of warm applause. Their
 friends are shown clapping. Zack jokingly punches at the air. As
 they walk off down the central aisle, a man in the audience gives
 Tommy a pat on the back.]

Ernie's voice : [through microphone] And now...Bulk and Skull!

[Bulk and Skull are now up on the stage playing their guitars and
 singing boisterously, accompanied by a drummer. Bulk's long hair
 is worn down underneath his odd grey hat.]

    Bulk : [singing] My name is -Bullk-!
   Skull : [singing] My name's Skull!
Together : [singing] Ever get envious watching us roll??
    Bulk : [singing] We're -tough-!
   Skull : [singing] We're meann!
Together : [singing] And that's the truuuuthh!
    Bulk : [singing] 'cos we're baadd!!
   Skull : [singing] We're baadd!!
    Bulk : [singing] All you geeks out ready to scam!!
   Skull : [singing] Yeahh, ready to scam!!!
    Bulk : [singing] 'cos we're cool! How cool?
   Skull : [singing] So coooooooooooo-owwwwwwwwwhhh...

[A girl in the audience widens her eyes in amazement as Bulk and Skull
 dance around manically on the stage. Several audience members shake
 their heads, some looking mildly shocked. Bulk and Skull finish their
 number in a crouched position, out of breath. Bulk's sunglasses and
 hat have fallen off during his performance, and his hair now hangs
 loose around his sweaty face.]

[Bulk smiles widely and has a bit of trouble standing back up. Skull
 bows twice. Unfortunately for them, this sort of music is evidently
 not to the liking of the audience; their reaction is a mixture of
 hostility and amazed disbelief. The room is utterly silent, except
 for the sound of the Rangers chortling away at the back.]

Kimberly : [rather embarrassed] Man..
           [applauds three times, slowly and sarcastically]

[End of episode.]
