[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.]
