[The episode starts inside the Juice Bar,
at a table occupied by Kat
and Kimberly. Judging by the extensive
collection of shopping bags,
the girls have spent a fair portion
of the day together.]
Kat : And I thought -I- liked
to shop. You bring a whole new meaning
to the
word, Kimberly!
[Kimberly clears a shopping bag off
the table as Aisha returns with
two drinks. Aisha(who already has
a glass of her own) places them in
front of Kimberly and Kat and sits
down, smiling broadly in response
to Kat's remark.]
Kimberly : [to Kat] Did you
have fun?
Kat :
Yeah, I did.
Kimberly : [pleased] Good.
Kat :
[gratefully] Thank you both -so- much for showing me around
Angel Grove. I really think I'm gonna like it here.
Kimberly : [softly] No problem.
Aisha : Cool!
[Kat checks her watch.]
Kat : Oh, well, I'd better
be off for dinner.
[Kat stands, picks up her shopping,
and prepares to leave. These
actions jog Aisha's memory and
she glances at her communicator.]
Aisha : Oh yeah,
us too. Do you need a ride?
Kat :
[reassuringly] Oh no, it's okay. I don't live far.
Kimberly : Don't forget this.
[She hands a fourth shopping bag to
Kat.]
Kat
: Oh, thank you.
Aisha : Bye!
Kat :
Bye!
Kimberly : Bye!
[Kat walks away, flashing a smile
over her shoulder, and almost bumps
into Tommy as he enters the room.
Aisha and Kimberly are conversing
at their table in the background
and pay no heed to this encounter.]
Tommy : [amiably] Oh, hey Katherine.
Kat : [slightly shy] Hi,
Tommy.
Tommy : Hi.
[But Tommy's eyes remain elsewhere...
After giving a quick smile of
farewell to Kat he approaches the
table and taps Kimberly on the
back. Spurned, Kat heads for the
doorway, but freezes at the sound
of Kimberly's excited voice.]
Kimberly's voice : Hey Tommy,
we just got back; I couldn't wait to
see you!
[Kat turns around, almost compelled
to watch as Kimberly kisses Tommy
on the cheek and shares his embrace.
She stares rigidly, her worst
suspicions confirmed, her face
a cold mask.]
Kimberly : [to Tommy] How are
ya?
Tommy : [smiling]
Good.
Kimberly : [reaching for shopping
bag] Oh, look what I got you.
[Kat glares at her oblivious rival.
Her eyes blaze red and she stalks
away.]
[Cross up to an exterior shot of the
Moon Palace. As Lord Zedd's voice
sounds from within the scene shifts
over to the Chamber of Command.
Lord Zedd sits upon his throne
with Rita standing to his left, her
hand gently touching his; their
sceptres resting against the back
of the stone chair. Finster excitedly
approaches the evil couple.]
Lord Zedd : [irritably] What
is it this time, Finster? A monster that
blows ITSELF up?
Finster : [bowing] No,
I've done something -wonderful-!
Rita
: [instantly] Done what??
Finster : [bows] After
years of failed attempts, I've finally
deciphered the Scrolls of Zordnia!
[Lord Zedd stands; Rita retracts her
hand.]
Lord Zedd : What are you -talking-
about?
Finster : The Scrolls show
the exact location of the dormant Zords.
[Goldar, who is standing nearby on
a separate shot, chimes in...]
Goldar : What
good are dormant Zords, you fool?
Finster : [bows] By combining
the technology from a Ninja Zord with
a power source, I'll be able to bring these Zords to life!
Lord Zedd : [firmly] Then -do-
it, Finster!
Finster : Right away, your
Grace.
[Finster bustles away. Lord Zedd turns
to Rita, his arms spread wide.]
Lord Zedd : It's -pure- genius!
I've done it again!
Rita
: [putting out her arms] Yes, Zeddy; with our -own- Zords,
the Power Rangers are kaput!
[They hold each other, laughing with
delight.]
[It is a new day. Kimberly, wearing
a bathing suit beneath her denim
overalls and a bag over her right
shoulder, is heading towards the
outdoor cafe. She smiles at someone
within and suddenly stops short,
having just noticed Kat sitting
by herself, reading a book. The blond
girl is wearing a straw hat and
dark glasses to protect her from the
sun. Kimberly approaches the table.]
Kimberly : Katherine.
[Kat looks up.]
Kimberly : [friendly] A bunch
of us are going swimming at the lake,
you want to come?
Kat :
[rather disinterested] Oh, that's really sweet Kim, but
I'm not very fond of water.
Kimberly : [a shade disappointed]
Oh. Okay.
[Kat returns to her book. Tommy arrives.]
Tommy : Are you
guys coming to the lake or what?
Kimberly : I am, but ah, Katherine-
Kat :
[standing] Er, changed her mind. After all, how am I gonna
meet people if I don't venture out? [mostly to Tommy] I'll
just run home and get my suit.
[Kimberly throws a quick look at Tommy.]
Tommy : [pleased,
to Kat] All right, great.
Kimberly : [to Kat] Okay, meet
you there. [to Tommy] C'mon.
Kat :
[smiling, softly] Okay.
[Tommy and Kimberly leave. Kat's smile
fades as she lowers her
sunglasses just enough to reveal
the evil red glow in her eyes.]
[Elsewhere, Finster is leading a reluctant
Baboo and Squatt through
a steamy jungle. He inspects the
surroundings carefully whilst the
underlings complain.]
Squatt : Phew! Ooh...
Baboo : [miserably] Uh!
E-uh! We'll -never- be able to find anything
with all this stuff in the way!
Squatt : [simultaneously]
Weh-hoo! Ooh! Ooh! Rhmm...hmm!
Finster : [ignoring them] By my
calculations, the dormant Zords should
be right near here.
Squatt : Huh? [wipes forehead]
Ooh!
Finster : Maybe by that rock,
or by those trees.
[Baboo sits down on a rock, tired.]
Baboo : [fed up] I don't
see anything!
Squatt : [wipes forehead] Phewww!!
You know, Finster, sometimes your
calculations are -off-!
Baboo : Phoo...
[Squatt rests his left hand upon something
solid and metallic which
is mostly concealed by undergrowth.]
Squatt : Pheww!
[He touches this "arm-rest" curiously
and then takes a closer look.
It is apparently a foot.]
Squatt : Huh? Uh. Oh. Uh-oh!
Look! What's this? I think I found
something!
[Squatt turns around and notices the
much larger object to which the
"foot" is attached.]
Squatt : [excited] Baboo, Finster,
yeahh! [clears away creepers] I
found one of the formant Dords! I mean, the dormant Zords!
Baboo : [turns to look]
Huh?
Squatt : [off-screen] Woohoohoohoohooo!!!
Baboo : [stands, pleased]
Ooh...
Squatt : [ecstatic] Yeah! -Look-
at this!
[Baboo and Finster hurry over to help
Squatt.]
Squatt : Whoo! Heeheeheeheeheehee!
Baboo : Is this Hollywood,
or just vine?
Squatt : Ooh! Whoo! Heh-heh-heh-yeah!
Oooh! Ooh! It's -divine-
all right!
[The three of them step back and regard
their discovery with awe.]
Squatt : Whoo...ooooohh!! Oooh!
[Meanwhile, Bulk and Skull arrive
at Angel Grove Lake, kitted out in
marine duty attire. This consists
of black rubber-soled shoes, white
socks, uniform shorts and shirt(with
rolled-up sleeves), a pair of
sunglasses, and a cap(worn backwards
in Skull's case). They each
carry a clipboard.]
Bulk : [importantly]
Okay, Skull. Our Junior Police Patrol assignment
for the day is to keep the beach clean and free of trouble.
Got it?
Skull : [promptly] Got it!
[The preliminaries thus taken care
of, Bulk and Skull begin their
patrol along the pier. Before long,
a commotion of young voices
reaches Skull's ear. He taps Bulk's
arm to get his attention.]
Skull : Hey, Bulky. Look at
those kids, they're drowning!
[They see a group of kids splashing
around in the lake at the other
end of the pier. Although the water
is up to their chests and necks,
there is something unusual about
this supposed "drowning". The kids
sound excited rather than scared,
and the older bathers on the pier
are paying them no heed. Such details
go unnoticed in the heat of
the moment...]
Bulk : [shocked] We gotta save
'em!
[Skull nods quickly.]
Bulk : [dramatically] Hold
on, kids! We'll save you!
[The kids appear to sink deeper. Now
lapsing into slow motion, Bulk
flings his clipboard and cap aside
and booms out in horror...]
Bulk : [slowly] NOOO!!! MOOVVE
IT!!!
[Still in slow motion and now accompanied
by a variant "Bulk and Skull
Theme/Chariots Of Fire" fanfare,
the intrepid officers hurtle down
the pier, shedding their uniforms
and accidentally knocking people
into the lake with their flailing
arms. Now clad in black and white
striped bathing suits, they leap
from the edge and plunge into the
water. There is a moment of silence
as the displaced droplets
settle...]
[...after which regular speed resumes,
finding a bemused Bulk and
Skull sitting in the lake amongst
the "drowning" children. Said
children stand up in the obviously
shallow water and laugh their
heads off at the unfortunate duo.]
[Cross now to Kat as she walks through
the park on her way to the
lake. She is wearing a short-sleeved
pink shirt and grey shorts,
with a tiger-patterned towel and
matching striped bag slung over
her shoulder. Her hair is fixed
with a pink hair-band. Suddenly
a familiar voice calls out...]
Rita's voice : Here, kitty-kitty-kitty!
[Slightly irritated, Kat takes a moment
to compose herself whilst Rita
stands behind her, grinning. When
she eventually turns around, it is
with an air of honoured surprise.]
Kat : Empress!
[Rita paces away from Kat.]
Rita : You can skip the formalities.
The less time I have to spend in
this park, the better. [turns back] I have a job for you.
Kat : [bows head slightly]
How may I be of service?
Rita : Get your paws on a Power
Coin from one of the Ranger rats.
Understand?
Kat : [another slight bow]
As you wish, Empress. [her eyes flash red]
Rita : And be careful not to get
caught. It's not yet time to let the
cat out of the bag! [chuckles]
Kat : You can count on me,
Empress.
Rita : [merrily] Of -course- I
can. -I- groomed you well!
[Rita chuckles again and vanishes
from sight, leaving a puff of smoke
in her wake. Kat resumes her interrupted
journey, already setting her
mind to the task at hand.]
[Meanwhile, Aisha and Kimberly are
storing their things on a picnic
table near the lake. Both girls
are wearing swimsuits with towels
wrapped around their waists. Aisha
also wears a yellow hat.]
Aisha : We're
gonna have -so- much fun today.
Kimberly : Yes.
Voice : (seemingly
Rocky's) Come on in!
[Kat arrives.]
Kat
: Hi!
Kimberly : Oh hey, you made it.
Aisha : [in greeting]
Hey.
[Aisha removes her hat and places
it on her bag.]
Kimberly : Let's go.
[Kimberly zips up her own bag and
casually drops it onto the table, a
carefree action which will soon
have catastrophic results. Kat stares
intently at the bag, her eyes blazing
red once more. Kimberly and
Aisha stop on their way to the
lake, curious to see why Kat has not
yet followed.]
Kimberly : Are you coming?
Kat :
[pleasantly] Ah, right behind you!
[She starts unshouldering her bag
as if to back up this claim.]
Kimberly : [laughing] Okay!
[Kimberly and Aisha happily jog away,
hand in hand. Observing the need
for caution, Kat places her bag
and towel on the table and sets off
after them. She is evidently unprepared
to risk drawing any further
attention to herself, especially
with other picnickers nearby.]
[Rita's eye spies all of this through
her telescope.]
Rita's voice : She can't steal
the Coin with those people around!
[Lord Zedd is standing next to Rita
on the Balcony. Baboo, Squatt, and
Rito are behind them in the Chamber
of Command. As Lord Zedd explodes
in anger, Rito turns to Baboo and
Squatt with a loud "Huh?". Baboo
and Squatt spend the entire scene
mindlessly(or perhaps, wisely)
applauding every utterance.]
Lord Zedd : We NEED that Coin
to get into the Ninja Zord!
Rito
: Well, create a diversion!
Squatt : Oh! Heehee!
[Rito's idea catches the attention
of the evil couple. Lord Zedd turns
to face him, soon followed by Rita.]
Lord Zedd : Brilliant! You've
finally proven yourself to be more than
-just- a bag of bones, Rito!
Rita
: Yes!
Rito
: [proudly] Well y'know, I'm -always- tryin', Ed.
Lord Zedd : It's ZEDD, you calcium-head!
[Lord Zedd swats at Rito as he goes
past. Rita glares and does the
same.]
Rito : [muttering] Ah-ha. Thankyou.
[Lord Zedd and Rita walk a few steps
back into the Chamber of Command.
Rita smiles to herself whilst her
husband plots.]
Lord Zedd : I'll send the Tengas.
In the confusion Kat will steal the
Coin, which will allow us to steal a Ninja Zord, and copy
its technology! [clenches fist] Huh!
[Cross back to the lake. Kat, who
has not changed into a swimsuit, is
apparently minding a pair of towels
on the shore. These towels look
rather like the ones belonging
to the Ranger girls, and if so, she
is sitting on Kimberly's. After
turning to look at a couple of people
passing by Kat resumes her study
of the lake. Billy, Rocky, and Tommy
are out on the water in a boat,
with Adam drifting along beside them
in a rubber ring. Tommy and Rocky
are shirtless.]
Adam : [to Tommy] This
is great!
Tommy : Yeah.
Billy : [waving] Hey, girls!
[Billy has been waving to Kimberly
and Aisha, who are paddling across
the lake on an aqua bike. The girls
wave to Kat.]
Aisha : Hi!
Kimberly : Hey, Kat!
[Kat gives them a token wave in return,
content to bide her time. And
then lots of things happen at once.]
[Six Tengas appear on the shore and
run around scaring people. The
lake is vacated in a hurry. The
male Rangers notice the disturbance
from their boat. Kat looks around
uncertainly, preparing to make use
of this sudden advantage. The male
Rangers dive into the water. The
Tengas continue to frighten the
lakegoers. Kat stands up. After a
second quick glance around she
sets off towards the picnic table at
an unhurried pace.]
[Bulk and Skull, still in bathing
suits, are consulting their
clipboards nearby. Bulk notices
the Tengas and starts to panic. He
taps Skull to get his attention
and points out the rampaging birds;
Skull gapes in horror. The Tengas
continue to frighten away the
lakegoers. Bulk and Skull flee
the scene, the former ditching his
clipboard in the process. Kat continues
to stroll away, an oddly
jarring sight amongst the panicking
crowd had any of them the
presence of mind to notice.]
[The last of the swimmers flee the
lake. The Tengas chase them off,
one wildly flapping a pair of towels,
and then regroup to assess
the situation.]
Tenga : [caws] Think we scared
everybody off? [caws again]
[The Tengas peruse the empty lake
and the abandoned water crafts
floating upon it.]
Tenga #2 : Ah-ha-ha! Yeah,
it looks that way! There doesn't seem to be
a sunbather in sight!
[There are two lingering shots of
the boat and the aqua-bike on the
tranquil water.]
Tenga #3 : Rahh! What
happened to the kids on the water? Did they swim
ashore? 'cos -I- didn't see 'em!
[The tension builds as the Tengas
creep towards the water's edge.]
Tenga #4 : I don't know...everything
appears to be perfectly normal
to -me-! I don't think anybody's -left- here!
[As if on cue, three separate bursts
of black, blue, and yellow light
thunder out of the depths, quickly
followed by pink, white, and red.
The startled Tengas are caught
off-guard and can only watch as three
pairs of Ninjas(Black & Blue,
Yellow & Pink, White & Red) land on
the beach, perfectly dry, and individually
engage them in combat.]
[The Black Ninja swiftly blocks a
Tenga's left arm and ducks under its
swinging right. A second Tenga
kicks him in the chest, temporarily
stunning him and producing a pained
"Uh!" sound. Keen to press its
advantage, this Tenga chops down
with its right hand. However, just
as the blow is about to connect,
its target suddenly splits into two
identical Ninjas who flip to either
side of where the original was
standing. The opposing Tengas(four
in total) stare from one to the
other in bewilderment(Tenga : Huh?).]
[Each Ninja touches his hands together.
Both of them spin around
on the spot and simultaneously
enter battle stance.]
Black Ninjas : [in unison]
A one, and a two! Hyuh!
Tenga : [clutching its head] What a headache!
[The twin Ninjas flip past a pair
of charging Tengas and kick them
simultaneously. In unison they
launch jump-kicks, and in unison the
Tengas duck. A moment later the
birds grab hold of the Ninjas when
they spin too close. The Ninjas
endure this restraint for no more
than a couple of seconds before
breaking free and flipping the
Tengas onto the sand.]
[Each Ninja brings his feet close
together. One falls in behind the
other, both of them sticking out
their arms on either side.]
Black Ninja : (the front one)
Goin' solo!
[The front Ninja presses his hands
together. As he does so, the rear
Ninja melds into his companion
with a pale hue effect, leaving a
single figure once more. The lone
Ninja spins around and goes into
battle stance(Black Ninja : Huh!
Hyah!).]
[The Yellow Ninja flips back towards
the water and goes into battle
stance(Yellow Ninja : Hyah!). Four
Tengas surround her. She takes
a moment to assess the situation
and then touches her right hand
to her head.]
Yellow Ninja : Adios!
[She raises her left hand whilst dropping
her right and stamping her
foot. These actions produce a small
explosion, and she vanishes in
a puff of smoke which drifts off
to her right. The startled Tengas
close in on the spot she has just
vacated, and one of them is taken
by surprise when a rubber ring
is wrapped around its neck, cunningly
planted from behind by a returned
Yellow Ninja.]
Yellow Ninja : Surf's up! [laughs]
[Whilst the Tenga is reeling in confusion
she trips it up with a low
spinning kick and then flips away.]
[The White Ninja flips back along
the pier, ploughs through a couple
of Tengas, and kicks a third. An
unfortunate choice of tactics; the
first pair simply step forward
and restrain him, one on either side,
whilst the third kicks his legs
out from under him. The White Ninja
lands flat on his back. Five feathery
heads loom from above as the
Tengas pick him up and hurl him
into the lake. The evil birds laugh
mockingly at such an easy victory
over their foe...]
[...thus putting them at a disadvantage
when he springs out of the
water(again perfectly dry) and
lands crouched behind them. They turn
around and melee quickly resumes.]
[The White Ninja blocks a kick from
one Tenga and delivers a punch in
return, causing the bird to stumble
back. He lashes out at another
with similar results, then crouches
backwards between two more and
simultaneously flips the pair of
them. He finishes in a triumphant
battle pose whilst the fifth Tenga
clutches at its head in
exasperation.]
[The Red Ninja's foot connects solidly
with a Tenga's back, causing
the creature to stumble towards
a moored barge. It finishes up in a
slanted position, its feet on land
and its arms gripping the stern.
The Red Ninja runs onto the vessel
using the unfortunate Tenga as a
gang-plank, and then retreats across
the deck upon sighting two of
its fellows in hot pursuit. These
Tengas trample up their companion's
body with no qualms whatsoever.]
[Once the Tengas are on board, the
Red Ninja wastes no time in booting
one of them away. He avoids a kick
from the second Tenga, spins under
its lunging claws, and then elbows
the creature. This attack almost
sends the Tenga over the side,
but the bird saves itself by grabbing
onto the edge of the roof.]
Red Ninja : Hey, Tenga! [claps]
Don't go overboard if you don't
want to!
[The Tenga regains its balance. It
looks from side to side in
disorientation(Tenga : Huh? Huh?),
then directly at its
opponent(Tenga : You! Rah!).]
Red Ninja : Just kidding!
[He laughs and knocks the squawking
bird into the lake.]
[Whilst all of this has been going
on, Kat has arrived back at the
picnic table. The Tengas have done
their job well; there is now
no-one else in sight. She picks
up her towel and then reaches into
her bag, eying Kimberly's all the
while. After making a final check
of her surroundings, Kat moves
both items next to the other bag. She
unzips it, reaches inside...and
removes the Pink Power Coin. A smile
lights her face as she examines
the precious item.]
[Just at this moment the Pink Ninja
sinks to the ground in pain.
Tengas swarm around her.]
Pink Ninja : [painfully] I
suggest you back off, featherbrain!
[The menacing Tengas blur in and out
of focus.]
Pink Ninja : [weakly] Uh...oh
my gosh...uh...
[Kat finishes fondling the Power Coin
and appears to pocket it. After
a careful glance to ensure her
continued safety, she reaches inside
the bag again. Her questing hand
rummages past Kimberly's overalls
and this time pulls out a photograph.
She stares at it, captivated;
a picture of Kimberly and Tommy
smiling and holding hands.]
Kat : [hatefully] He won't
be yours for long, -Kimberly-.
[Aisha's bag suddenly draws her attention.]
Kat : [smugly, almost purring]
Aisha's Power Coin...
[She looks around and notes the coast
is still clear.]
Kat : [grinning to herself]
As long as I'm here...why not?
[Kat carries her things(and the photograph)
around to the other end
of the table, but just as she is
about to reach for Aisha's bag a
barking cough is heard. Bulk and
Skull have arrived, the effect of
their timely appearance marred
only by their ever-present bathing
suits.]
Bulk : Hey, miss!
[Kat freezes guiltily whilst Bulk
and Skull step closer. Skull grins
and proudly chews his gum whilst
Bulk does the honours.]
Bulk : [importantly] As Angel
Grove's Junior Police Officers, -
[Kat quickly hides the photograph
behind her back...]
Bulk : -it is our -sworn- duty
to lead you to safety!
[Skull nods in agreement as Bulk steps
aside, leaving a clear space
for Kat to travel between them.
Both indicate for her to do so...and
then flee at top speed(Skull :
Aargh! Run away! Noo!!!), Bulk keeping
the pace with a series of "hup-hup-hup"
sounds. Kat turns a regretful
glance back at the table and slowly
sets off after her escorts.]
[Overcome with pain, the Pink Ninja
brings her hand over her face. On
the pier behind her, the White
Ninja finishes taking down a pair of
Tengas.]
Pink Ninja : [desperately]
Tommy!
White Ninja : [seeing her distress]
Hang on, Kim!
[The White Ninja flies to her side
via the aid of some loose springy
boards. Wasting no time he drops
one Tenga, mid-kicks a second, and
spin-kicks a third. After disposing
of these immediate threats he
places himself in front of her.]
White Ninja : [protectively]
Stay back, Kim.
Pink Ninja : [touching his
arm] Okay.
[The White Ninja goes into wary battle
stance(White Ninja : Huh!).]
[Elsewhere Bulk and Skull continue
to flee, followed by a jogging Kat.
Apparently fed up with this charade,
she comes to an abrupt halt.
Bulk and Skull suddenly slow down
as well, and Kat teleports away
with a white feline effect just
as they turn to check on her. Both
officers appear very disconcerted
to find her gone. Skull's eyes
widen and he gapes in surprise.]
Bulk : [slightly panicky]
Hey, did she just- How did she...?
[touching his face] Oh, must be the heat.
Skull : [shrill] Yeah, must be!
Bulk : [worried] I-I don't
feel so...
Skull : [woozy] Yeah, me too.
[Skull abruptly faints(Skull : Phew!),
followed immediately by Bulk.]
[Back at the lake two Tengas fall
onto the sand whilst three more back
up around them. All five are retreating
from the six Ninjas(valiantly
led by Pink, who appears to be
having trouble standing). Both Tengas
quickly get up.]
Tenga : C'mon, we're outta
here!
[And with that, the Tengas vanish.]
White Ninja : [frustrated]
Huh! Geez!
[The Ninjas demorph into their swimming
apparel. Kimberly's head is
hung low, and after a moment she
again brings her hand up over her
face. The other five look round
warily to ensure the area is secure
and then hasten to her side. Tommy
arrives first.]
Tommy : [gently]
Kim, are you okay?
Kimberly : [looks up, shaken]
Yeah, I'm fine. That was really weird.
[looks around] You guys, where did Katherine go?
[Kat is in one of the last places
Kimberly would expect; the Moon
Palace Chamber of Command. She
holds up the stolen Power Coin and
hands it to Rita.]
Kat : Here it is. The Power
Coin as you requested, Empress.
[Rita smiles. She speaks in an awed,
unusually quiet manner, obviously
affected by the gravity of the
occasion.]
Rita : Zeddy. Do you know what
this -means-?
[She places the Power Coin in her
husband's palm.]
Lord Zedd : [similarly calm]
Yess...I -do-, my little timebomb!
[He kisses the Coin and closes his
fist around it.]
Lord Zedd : We can steal the
Falconzord, which will render the Rangers
defenceless.
[Kat smiles evilly as the plan unfolds.]
Lord Zedd : Once we have its
technology, and find the right power
source, we will create our -own- fleet of evil
indestructable Zords, and then no-one will be able to
stop us!
[Whilst Lord Zedd gloats over his
impending victory, Kat clutches the
photograph of Kimberly and Tommy
behind her back; it seems she has
motives of her own...]
[Cross back to the Rangers on the
shore of an otherwise deserted lake.
Billy and Aisha are standing apart
from an off-screen Kimberly and
Tommy. Adam and Rocky are even
further away, down by the water. Upon
hearing the sound of a communicator
the four of them regroup around
Tommy and Kimberly(who is now holding
her towel). Tommy answers the
call.]
Tommy : [to communicator] I read you, Alpha. What's up?
Alpha's voice : [via communicator]
Goldar and the Tengas have been let
loose in the park!
Tommy : [sighs, to communicator] Again? [to others] Oh man,
we'd better get our stuff and get over there.
[The others nod, including Kimberly,
who touches her forehead as if
suffering from a headache.]
Billy : Come on.
Tommy : Let's go.
[Billy, Rocky, Aisha, Adam, and Tommy
start off along the beach. Tommy
turns back, sensing something amiss,
and returns to Kimberly's side.
She has not moved a step, still
in the grip of her strange ailment.]
Tommy : [concerned]
What is it?
Kimberly : [sounding ill] I don't
know. I never felt like this before.
[brief pause] I'll be okay.
Tommy : You sure?
Kimberly : Yeah, let's go.
Tommy : Okay.
[Tommy and Kimberly leave to join
the others, and everyone is soon
collecting their things from the
picnic tables(the male Rangers had
been using another one nearby).
Tommy and Rocky don their singlets.
Kimberly opens up her bag, possibly
suspecting the cause of her
sudden weakness or perhaps seeking
comfort from the sight and touch
of her Power Coin. Whatever the
reason, she immediately notices its
absence.]
Kimberly : [worried] You guys...my
Power Coin's missing!
Aisha : -What-?
Kimberly : [covers right side
of her face] Oh...
[Her friends hurry over. She slowly
sits down on the bench, badly
scared. Tommy touches her shoulder,
trying to give comfort.]
Tommy : [quickly] Just take
it easy, Kim.
[Pink energy suddenly runs through
Kimberly's left hand.]
Kimberly : [scared] What..what's
happening to me?
[She turns to Billy for an explanation.]
Billy : Your body. She seems
to be experiencing some kinda energy
drain.
Tommy : [under his breath] Oh,
man...
[Kimberly again touches the right
side of her face and then looks up
at Tommy as he activates his communicator.]
Tommy : [to communicator] Zordon, this is Tommy; come in.
Zordon's voice : [via communicator]
Yes, Tommy.
Tommy : [to communicator] Kimberly's Power Coin is missing!
[worried] She seems to be getting weaker.
Zordon : It must have fallen into evil hands. This is the
-only- explanation.
[Pan across Billy, Rocky, and Tommy
as they listen to this disturbing
information.]
Zordon's voice : [via communicator]
You must use your Power Coins to
recharge Kimberly until she's strong enough to be
teleported to the Command Center.
Tommy : [to communicator] Right, Zordon. [to others] Okay,
you guys stay here. Ninjor and I will handle Goldar.
[Aisha nods.]
Aisha : [gently] We'll take
care of her, Tommy. Be careful.
Tommy : [reaching for Morpher]
It's Morphin' Time!
[The Morphing Sequence begins.]
Tommy : White Ranger Power!
[morphs into the White Ranger]
[The White Ranger leaps up onto the
covered roof area above the tables
at the park. Goldar and a flock
of Tengas are standing below. They
turn around to face him.]
Goldar : Huhhhhhhh??? Ruhh!
[taunting] No friends, White Ranger?
[Ninjor has mysteriously appeared
nearby...]
Ninjor : [in battle stance]
Over here!
Goldar : Heyyy!!!
Ninjor : [defiantly] The -two-
of us can -easily- handle all of you!
Goldar : Tengas, get them!
[The Tengas charge at Ninjor; Ninjor
charges at the Tengas. The White
Ranger springs from his perch,
sending a Tenga spinning on his way
down. He kicks at a second Tenga
as it comes running up(the bird
rolls clear), and then flips down
a third.]
[Kat has been watching this fight
from behind a tree. All of a sudden
there is a flurry of orange/red
energy pulses as Rita teleports in.
Startled, Kat turns to face her
Empress. Ninjor and the White Ranger
continue to battle Tengas in the
background, oblivious to the nearby
conference.]
Rita : Well, my little feline,
are you ready for your next assignment?
Kat : [dutifully] I'm always
ready, Empress.
[Rita hands the Pink Power Coin back
to Kat.]
Rita : Take this Power Coin
and use it, to -steal- the Falconzord.
Kat : [after a brief hesitation]
Yes, Empress. [smiles]
[Rita cackles in delight and vanishes
as promptly as she came, again
leaving a puff of smoke behind.
Kat turns back to watch the rest of
the battle, thoughtfully fingering
the stolen Coin. Her eyes glint
orange.]
[The White Ranger blocks a right-left-right
combination of blows from
one Tenga. A second Tenga tries
to kick him from behind and he blocks
this too. Now going onto the offensive,
he firmly grabs hold of the
first Tenga and flips the creature
onto the ground. He kicks at a
third Tenga and then sweeps low,
taking down another.]
[Ninjor scoops for a Tenga's leg,
flipping the creature over. Goldar
watches the melee with mounting
frustration.]
Goldar : There's so many of
us and so few of -them-! Why can't we
defeat them? WHYYY?
[The White Ranger chops down another
Tenga.]
White Ranger : [brushes hands]
There we go. [points at Goldar] And now
it's your turn!
Goldar
: [angrily] Don't be so -sure-!
[Ninjor moves up next to the White
Ranger. Behind them, the Tengas
depart.]
Ninjor : [to Goldar] -Your-
time's up!
Goldar : Wrong! [touches left
fist to chest] I've only just begun!
[Ninjor and the White Ranger go into
battle stance. All of a sudden
Goldar grows to enormous size amidst
a cloud of smoke.]
Goldar : Rrrrrrrrrruh!! Let's
see you defeat me now!
Ninjor : Whoops!
[The White Ranger spins backwards;
Ninjor recoils a few steps. Both
renew their battle stances.]
Ninjor : [alarmed] Whoaaa!
White Ranger : [in battle stance]
Hah!
Ninjor
: Uh-oh!
Goldar
: [cocking his finger at them] Oh, did I scare you?
White Ranger : [scoffing] Hoh,
now you're just a bigger fool, Goldar!
[Ninjor(at least it seems to be) sniggers
in an oddly muffled tone.]
[The White Ranger joins his hands
and pushes them out in front of his
body, then performs a couple of
crouch stances with arms spread wide,
and finally raises his left hand
towards the sky. All of these moves
are accompanied by bursts of white
energy.]
White Ranger : [throughout]
I need Falconzord Power! Power Ready!
Power Up! Now!
[There is a shot of the Falconzord
flying against the background of
the sun and then a couple of it
traveling through the clouds. The
White Ranger leaps into the sky
and arrives in the cockpit of his
Zord. He crosses his hands and
then sticks his right out in front.]
White Ranger : Falconzord,
Battle Mode, now! Ooah!
[There is another cloud of smoke as
Ninjor grows himself to match
Goldar's height(Ninjor : Oh!).]
Ninjor : [angrily] Goldar,
I think you should pick on someone your
-own- size!
[Goldar growls and begins to circle
Ninjor.]
Ninjor : Hmm...well, you don't
look so -tough-! Ah...now...don't make
me -fight- you! [goes into battle stance]
[The Falconzord slowly flaps through
the sky. Cross to the White
Ranger in the cockpit.]
White Ranger : [with strong
contempt] Okay, Goldar; it's time to put a
fork in ya! Ho, you're done!
[Kat suddenly materialises behind
him with a pink feline effect. The
White Ranger remains totally unaware
of this intruder as he continues
his litany of scorn.]
White Ranger : One large Goldar
with anchovies, [touches an off-screen
control] comin' up! Hahaha!
[Kat's hand zaps pink energy at the
White Ranger's right shoulder.
Pink claw marks riddle his body,
causing him to groan and slump
forward, motionless.]
Kat : [mocking] Enjoy your
little catnap, Tommy.
[She swirls her hand to build up the
energy charge and blasts him
again. This time the claw marks
criss-cross his entire body at
once. The claw net sizzles brightly
and fades down to a series
of white molecules awash in a sea
of pink light. The light itself
dissolves down to nothing, taking
the White Ranger with it. He
reappears outside the Zord and
plummets to the ground, landing
on his back and groaning with pain.]
[Goldar draws back his sword and attempts
to stab Ninjor whilst his
back is turned(probably due to
looking at the White Ranger, although
the reason is not made explicit).
Ninjor spins around just in time.]
Ninjor : Let's go!
[Ninjor punches the sword, driving
Goldar's right arm back. Goldar
retaliates by kicking Ninjor in
the chest, causing him to double
over. The gold warrior holds his
opponent down for a brief second,
chops wildly from right to left,
and then whacks him in the chest
with the hilt of his sword. Before
Ninjor has a chance to recover,
Goldar slashes at him, sending
him crashing to the ground.]
[Ninjor's weakened body transforms
into blue spirit energy and flies
close to the fallen White Ranger.
He reappears at regular size with
a pained sound. As this happens
the White Ranger forces himself to
turn over so that he is no longer
lying on his back.]
White Ranger : [with effort]
Ninjor...are you okay?
Ninjor
: [disoriented] I think so...
[The White Ranger is now slowly dragging
himself towards Ninjor
with his arm outstretched.]
White Ranger : [strained] Hang
on. Everything's gonna be okay. Uh!
[High above them, Kat appears to lay
her hands on the Falconzord's
control panels.]
Kat : [with an evil serenity]
The Falconzord is all yours, Lord Zedd.
[Her eyes gleam red and she teleports
away with what is fast becoming
a trademark feline effect. The
Falconzord utters its high-pitched
cry and flies a little further
before glowing pink and transforming
into a real falcon. The enchanted
bird flaps away...]
[Up in the Chamber of Command Lord
Zedd is standing in front of his
throne, against which his staff
rests. A red hooded cage stands to
his right, its door open.]
Lord Zedd : Rita's pet has
done -well-! The cat has caught the bird.
Come here, my pretty one.
[The falcon flies down and alights
on his right hand. As it does so
the magical pink light falls away
from its body.]
Lord Zedd : Now the stage is
set for the final act of my plan. And I
know -exactly- where to get the power source I need.
[There is a close-up focus on the
falcon during this last line.]
[Back in the park, the White Ranger
is still trying to reach Ninjor.
With great effort he draws himself
up onto one foot with his right
knee still on the ground. Ninjor
appears even weaker, remaining
face-down and barely managing to
crawl.]
White Ranger : [dragging himself
forward] Uh! Come on, Ninjor! We
can't let Lord Zedd defeat us! Reach out your hand!
[Ninjor stretches out his hand. The
White Ranger reaches for it with
his own.]
Ninjor : [at the end of his
strength] Here, Tommy; I'm -trying-!
[A mysterious humming/buzzing sound
begins. Ninjor's entire arm is now
glowing blue and becoming insubstantial,
as if he is being forcibly
drawn away.]
White Ranger : Almost there!
[The tips of their fingers are almost
touching...]
Ninjor
: [indistinct] I can't move!
White Ranger : [simultaneously]
Ninjor! What's happening?
[Ninjor's entire body is starting
to blink in and out of sight. The
White Ranger, now shakily standing,
makes a weak grab for his hand
but meets with no resistance. Ninjor
fades away and this time does
not return.]
White Ranger : Ninjor!
[He stumbles forward and sinks to
his knees, spent.]
White Ranger : [upset] I'm
-not- giving up, Goldar!
Goldar
: [gloating from above] You're -pathetic-! Lord Zedd has
your Falconzord! You're finished!
[Drawing on a last vestige of strength,
the White Ranger is now
standing again.]
White Ranger : No way! [swipes
fist to his left]
Goldar
: Ah-heh-heh-heh! It's been nice chatting with you!
[Goldar touches across his sword blade
and vanishes in a burst of
flames. The White Ranger runs towards
where his foe was standing.]
White Ranger : [angrily] Goldar,
come back! We're not through!
[slams fist into hand] Man!
[Wasting no more time, he activates
his communicator.]
White Ranger : [to communicator]
Zordon, it's Tommy. Lord Zedd has
stolen the Falconzord. What should I do?
Zordon's voice : [via communicator]
You must return to the Command
Center, Tommy.
White Ranger : [to communicator]
Yes, Zordon. [to himself] Oh, man!
I can't believe Lord Zedd has finally defeated the
Power Rangers!
[He clenches his fists as he makes
a passionate vow.]
White Ranger : Well, I'm not
gonna let it happen. If it takes every
last -ounce- of my strength, I will see to it that the
Power Rangers are triumphant; if it's the -last- thing
I ever do!
[Up in the Chamber of Command the
evil forces are celebrating, and
well they might, for surely the
day is theirs. Rita twirls around on
the spot, a steaming drink in her
right hand. Lord Zedd stands next
to her, holding a cylindrical container
in his. Their sceptres are
once more resting against the imperial
throne. The underlings are
also present, although barely seen
apart from Finster and a capering
Baboo. The falcon's cage is both
closed and hooded, imprinted with a
golden Z insignia.]
Lord Zedd : [excited] We did
it! We have everything we need to bring
our Zords to life! The battle technology from the almighty
Falconzord, and Ninjor's energy as its power source!
[Lord Zedd taps the rim of the container,
in which Ninjor is now
imprisoned. His surroundings appear
identical to those seen within
his urn in the temple during "Ninja
Quest Part 3".]
Ninjor : [enraged]
Let me out of here, you -fiend-!
Lord Zedd : This is the end, of
the Power Rangers!
[Lord Zedd throws back his head and
roars with laughter, triumphantly
clenching his fist.]
Ninjor : [defiantly]
I won't co-operate with your maniacal scheme!
Not me! Forget about it!
Lord Zedd : [taps container again
and then viciously shakes it] Yes
you will, or I'll turn you into a cosmic milkshake!
[Ninjor cries out as he is thrown
around inside.]
Lord Zedd : [gleefully] DO
YOU HEAR ME? [taps container again] A
COSMIC MILKSHAKE!!!
[Lord Zedd goes off into another fit
of laughter and then hands the
container to Finster.]
Lord Zedd : [barely containing
his excitement] Siphon off his energy
Finster, so we can power up our Zords. [taps container]
You be nice, little Ninjor! [punches the air] Ahh, victory
is -fun-!
[Cross now to an exterior shot of
the Command Center. All six Rangers
are present inside, still in their
swimming gear. They are standing
in a line(from right to left -
Kimberly, Tommy, Billy, Aisha, Adam,
Rocky). Kimberly is again wearing
her denim overalls and seems to be
engrossed in watching the pink
energy as it continues to flow through
her hand. The others watch her,
worried, especially Tommy, whose face
registers tender yet helpless concern.]
Zordon : When Ninjor recharged
your Power Coins, he linked them with
your natural human energy. Because Kimberly's Power Coin
is in evil hands, her body is being affected.
[Kimberly weakly lifts her head to
look at Zordon.]
Tommy : Zedd must've
used her Power Coin to get inside the Falconzord
and take it.
Billy : Which left Ninjor
powerless and an easy target.
Zordon : Rangers, I'm afraid I
have more bad news.
Tommy : [sighs] Oh man,
what could be worse than this?
Zordon : I fear that Lord Zedd
has discovered the lost Zords of
Zordnia. (US - I fear that Lord Zedd has discovered the lost
Shogun Zords.)
[Rocky and Tommy both seem thrown
by this(Rocky more so). Kimberly
says nothing and looks down again.]
Zordon : [gravely] All his
actions indicate that he intends to create
a new fleet of -evil- fighting machines. (US - All of his
actions indicate
that he intends to use them for his own
evil purposes.)
Rocky : [shaken] And with
our Zords outta commission...we're
powerless against him!
[Kimberly suddenly loses consciousness,
pink energy running through
her body. Reacting quickly, Tommy
catches her before she can fall.]
Tommy : Kimberly! Kim!
Zordon : Retrieving Kimberly's
Power Coin is the only answer. Unless
we can do that, she won't survive.
[Tommy says nothing, fear and anger
slowly building in his face.]
[Cross now to Kat as she sits in the
branch of a tree(probably in the
park somewhere). She has the stolen
Power Coin in her right hand and
studies it for a while before shifting
her attention to the picture
of Kimberly and Tommy.]
Kat : [nastily] Soon, -Kimmy-'ll
be out of the picture.
[Kat rips the picture in two, separating
the couple depicted within.
She regards Tommy's half tenderly
and then coldly crushes Kimberly's
in her fist. Her eyes flash red
as she studies Tommy's image one more
time, an evil smile now playing
on her lips. This day has brought its
own form of victory for Kat, and
she is content to wait...]
[TO BE CONTINUED.]
Bloopers :
1) The Red Ninja battles a Tenga on the
barge and knocks the bird
into the lake.
Red Ninja : [waving] Hey, Tenga!
I'd give that dive a 9.5! [laughs]
Tenga : [wearily
swimming and chanting] Ah; row-row-row your boat,
gently down the stream! Tenga-Tenga-Tenga-Tenga, working
for Zedd's no dream! Rahh!
Red Ninja : Come on Tenga, smile!
I only -threw- you off the boat.
Don't be as mad as a wet hen! [laughs to the camera]
