Prisoner : Look, Lexian. Another of Dregon's Plague Sentries. I'd like
           to pull his horns off!

[The Plague Sentry laughs to himself and plants his horned staff in
 the ground.]

Plague Sentry : The fools! The poisonous gases they dig up only hasten
                the destruction of their planet.

[Focus in on Lexian: an elderly man with a long white beard. He is
 crouched near one of the holes, gathering dirt in a sack.]

       Lexian : You will get your chance some day, Dex.
          Dex : Hm.
Plague Sentry : [to himself] Dregon will be pleased.

[Cross to an exterior shot of the Command Center. Inside, Alpha is
 sitting on the floor, head in hands.]

 Alpha : Oh, ai-yi-yi ...
Zordon : Alpha, what is troubling you so? How can I be of any help if
         you'll not tell me what the problem is?
 Alpha : [sadly] Zordon, I'm afraid no-one can help.
Zordon : There is only one way to find out. Please tell me, Alpha.
         What has happened?
 Alpha : [standing up] Oh, I suppose you're right. You see, I was
         monitoring the galactic scanner when I picked up a distress
         signal from the planet Edenoi.
Zordon : Your home planet? No wonder this disturbs you, Alpha. I'm
         well aware your memory banks contain many fond memories of
         Edenoi.
 Alpha : There's more. I was assembled on Edenoi by their leader,
         Lexian, but my scan picked up no trace of him. And the planet
         appears to be under heavy attack.
Zordon : Edenoi is -very- far away. For now, all we can do is continue
         to monitor and hope for more information.
 Alpha : Oh, Zordon. I just know, deep in my circuits, that something
         is terribly wrong!

[Cross over to an odd spaceship as it flies away from an unidentified
 moon. The craft is white and has a spidery design, with multiple legs
 and two red "eyes". Inside, a pair of doors slides open to admit two
 figures. The first is a small floating robot; the other is a nobly
 dressed humanoid, wearing golden armour and a matching mask.]

       Robot : [announcing the other figure] Behold, the Lord of Evil,
               Count Dregon is on the Bridge. [floats away]
Count Dregon : What have you to report?

[Focus upon a tall, white-faced minion, dressed in green and white. A
 curved red visor surrounds his neck(which doubles as the front of a
 helmet), and a second face can be seen behind it. This character
 raises his bowed heads to acknowledge Count Dregon.]

[Another minion, this one with a single eye in the center of his
 metallic head, raises his head and growls.]

[Count Dregon steps across the Bridge, approaching the one-eyed minion
 and a previously unseen female warrior. The white-faced minion steps
 closer to Dregon whilst the other two shrink back and start to kneel,
 possibly being of lower rank or in some form of disgrace.]

White-faced minion : The attack is proceeding as expected, according
                     to the plan, Count Dregon.

[Another minion, this one with a mutant appearance, steps into view.]

     Mutant minion : Your brilliant plan!
White-faced minion : [bowing] And what of the planet, Highness?

Count Dregon : [turns away] Destroy it.

[Cross to an exterior shot of the Angel Grove Youth Center. Inside,
 Aisha is using the Juice Bar telephone.]

Aisha : [on phone] Hi, Kim. How you feeling today?

[Kimberly is at home, in bed, looking quite ill. She is tucked up with
 a toy dog and has a thermometer in her mouth. A box of tissues lies
 within easy reach, and she holds one in her left hand.]

Kimberly : [on phone] Awful. Hold on a second, okay?

[Kimberly removes the thermometer from her mouth and starts to read
 the display. As she does so, there is a quick shot of Aisha standing
 by. Kimberly makes an ill kind of sound; she shakes the thermometer
 and puts it down.]

Kimberly : I still have a temperature. I hate having the flu.
   Aisha : Look, just rest and drink plenty of liquids. You know the
           drill.

[Cross to a wider shot of Kimberly's bedroom, revealing a glass of
 orange juice on the bedside table.]

Aisha's voice : [via telephone] I'll check with you later.
     Kimberly : Okay. Say hi to the guys for me, all right?
        Aisha : Will do. Feel better! Bye.
     Kimberly : Bye.

[Kimberly hangs up the telephone and takes her glass of orange juice,
 coughing once in the process. She switches it from left hand to right
 and sniffs.]

[Back in the Juice Bar, Aisha hangs up and returns the telephone to
 Ernie.]

Aisha : Thanks, Ernie.
Ernie : Hey, no problem, Aisha.

[Aisha walks over to one of the tables and sits down. Adam is already
 there, studying. Tommy and Rocky are sparring in the work-out area.]

 Adam : [to Aisha] How's Kim?
Aisha : She still has a fever, but I think she'll live.

[They both chuckle.]

[Nearby, Tommy throws a jumping spin-kick at Rocky just as Rocky goes
 low with a sweeping kick of his own. Neither blow connects. Upon
 landing, Tommy blocks Rocky's right arm, ducks one of his kicks,
 grabs his leg, and pushes him down.]

[Tommy helps Rocky up. They shake hands, smiling, and walk over to
 Adam and Aisha's table. Billy enters and joins them, too.]

Adam : Hey. What's up?

Billy : Hey, ah, I just contacted Alpha to check the clarity of that
        new chip I installed in the communicators.
Rocky : And?
Billy : Well ... I'm not exactly sure, but, um, Alpha sounded
        different.
Tommy : How do you mean?
Billy : Sad, I guess. I mean, I know it sounds strange because he is a
        robot, but, uh ... he definitely sounded down.
 Adam : Maybe he's just lonely. [pause] Do robots get lonely?
Aisha : [chuckles] He's more than a robot to me.
 Adam : To all of us.
Tommy : [soft] Yeah. [normally] Hey, let's go pay him a visit. [claps]
Aisha : Cool.

[Adam closes his book, picks up his bag, and follows the others out of
 the room. Rocky claps Tommy on the back as they go.]

[Cross to Count Dregon's spaceship once more. With a burst of yellow
 energy, its mouth opens and deploys a pair of blue laser bolts. Its
 underbelly looses off several more, all targeting Edenoi(shown via
 two surface explosions). Now hovering above the planet, the spidery
 vessel continues blasting away.]

[Cross to an exterior shot of the Moon Palace. A red beam shoots from
 the Balcony into space: Lord Zedd is spying on something with his
 laser vision. Rita approaches her husband as he mutters to himself.]

Lord Zedd : Of all the rotten luck ... WHY him?
     Rita : Zedd! Zeddy-boy. You're slipping! The Power Rangers are
            down there on Earth, not up in space!

[Lord Zedd's laser vision shows Count Dregon's spaceship flying away
 from the previously shown moon and attacking Edenoi. That scenario
 plays out as he speaks.]

Lord Zedd : Ohh ... who cares about -them-? That giant pain in the
            mask, Count Dregon, has reared his ugly head again! He and
            his Spider Base are blasting some planet to rubble out in
            the Andromeda Sector! [a blast hits Edenoi] Curses!
     Rita : So? That's good! Count Dregon is the -evilest- of Evil. I
            -like- Count Dregon.
Lord Zedd : [turns around, growls] Well, I hate him!

[He growls again as he walks back to his throne.]

Lord Zedd : I hate him even more than I hate the Power Rangers!
     Rita : What did you do, wake up on the wrong side of your
            Hyperbaric Chamber this morning?
Lord Zedd : For as long as I can remember, Count Dregon has been
            trying to one-up me!

[Rita sweeps her hand, making an annoyed sound.]

Lord Zedd : To be more evil, more -dastardly- than me! Look!

[A shot of Earth is shown.]

Lord Zedd : We can't even conquer one measly little planet!
            [growls, sighs angrily, and slumps onto throne]
     Rita : Take a chill pill, Zeddy, and listen to me.

[She kneels by the side of the throne.]

     Rita : Finster's working on a wonderfully nasty monster that's
            gonna blow Earth out of the sky. The Power Rangers will
            never be able to defeat this new monster! [smiles]
Lord Zedd : [unimpressed] Since when have any of -Finster's- monsters
            been able to walk and chew -gum- at the same time?
     Rita : [takes his hand] Zeddy, baby, trust me. This time there's
            no way out for the Power Rangers. Hahaha!
Lord Zedd : [groans] Deja vu.

[Cross to an exterior shot of the Command Center. Inside, Billy is
 consulting a computer print-out. Alpha and the other Rangers(minus
 Kimberly) are standing nearby.]

 Billy : The path of signals definitely shows some interference within
         the planet's environment.
 Alpha : [worried] Ohh, I knew it. They really are in trouble!
 Tommy : How far is this planet, Zordon?
Zordon : Edenoi is located in the northernmost corner of the galaxy,
         in the constellation Andromeda. I'm afraid it is far beyond
         our reach.
  Adam : Who inhabits it?
Zordon : They are called Edenites, Adam: a highly intelligent and
         gentle race of people, as Alpha himself can tell you.
 Alpha : The planet's leader, King Lexian, assembled me himself and
         gave me life. He was like a father to me.
 Aisha : Alpha, we're your family here. [to Zordon] What can we do
         to help?
Zordon : I'm afraid there is very little you can do to assist,
         Rangers. At such a great distance, there is a good chance
         that you will not have all of your powers. The risks of
         such a journey are simply too great.
 Tommy : Taking risks never stopped us before, Zordon.
 Rocky : That's right. I think we should go check it out.
 Alpha : Oh, ai-yi-yi. Would you really do that for me, Rangers?

[Billy and Aisha smile at Alpha.]

Zordon : I have reservations about this venture. But it appears to be
         the only way to learn more about the situation on Edenoi.
         Remember, Rangers, you are only going to investigate.

[Aisha nods.]

 Alpha : Please try to find out what has happened to King Lexian.
Zordon : Remember, the distance may affect your powers. Do not
         become involved in their conflict.
 Billy : Zordon, will you be able to contact us through our
         communicators if an attack arises?
Zordon : Yes. The new chip you've had installed will make that
         possible. Good work.

[Billy sighs in relief and smiles.]

  Adam : We could just teleport back if we were needed.
 Tommy : Yeah. I say we do it. For Alpha.
 Alpha : [touched] Ohh ...
Zordon : Friendship is a powerful gift, Rangers. I commend you for
         your courage.
 Tommy : Alpha, can you contact Kimberly for us, and let her know
         what's going on?
 Alpha : [happily] You can count on it, Tommy.
Zordon : Very well. Prepare to morph.
 Alpha : Rangers, promise to be careful. I'd never forgive myself
         if anything happened to you.
  Adam : Don't worry, Alpha.

[Tommy nods his head, and the five of them reach for their Morphers.]

Tommy : It's Morphin' Time!

[The Morphing Sequence begins.]

Tommy : Tigerzord! [morphs into the White Ranger]
 Adam : Mastodon! [morphs into the Black Ranger]
Billy : Triceratops! [morphs into the Blue Ranger]
Aisha : Sabre-toothed Tiger! [morphs into the Yellow Ranger]
Rocky : Tyrannosaurus! [morphs into the Red Ranger]

[The Rangers drop through the air in this order: Red and Blue, Black
 and Yellow, and finally White. They land outside somewhere, possibly
 the park.]

White Ranger : All right, guys, this is the big one.
  Red Ranger : Right!
White Ranger : [to communicator] Zordon, we're ready.

[Cross back to the Command Center.]

 Alpha : [happily] Ai-yi-yi! My memory banks will never fail to
         retrieve this day's events, Rangers. It gives me a warm,
         fuzzy feeling in all my circuits.
Zordon : Tommy, be prepared for anything upon your arrival.

[As Zordon speaks, the focus shifts back to the Rangers.]

  White Ranger : [nods, to communicator] Okay.
Zordon's voice : [via communicator] The selected co-ordinates will
                 land you near the worst disturbances on Edenoi.

[Cross back to the Command Center.]

Zordon : Stand by to teleport. Alpha, enter the co-ordinates.
 Alpha : [holding print-out] Right! Entering co-ordinates now.
         [starts pushing buttons] Initiating teleportation sequence.

[Cross back to the Rangers.]

Zordon's voice : [via communicator] Good luck, Rangers.
  White Ranger : All right, guys. Here goes.

[The Power Rangers touch their Morphers, raise their right arms to the
 sky(Rangers : Power Rangers!), and teleport away. Cross back to the
 Command Center.]

Alpha : Oh, thank you, Zordon! Thank you!

[Up in space, five Ranger-coloured streaks are now enroute to the
 planet Edenoi.] 

[Cross back to an exterior shot of the Moon Palace. Lord Zedd's laser
 vision is focusing into space once more, but when the scene changes
 to the Balcony, he is actually peering towards Earth. In a moment,
 it will be seen that Rita and Goldar are standing behind him.]

Lord Zedd : Aarghh!! Blast! Where are they?
     Rita : [agitated] What? Where are those Rangers? What are they
            up to?
Lord Zedd : [turns around] Amazing as it seems, my dear, I can no
            longer detect them. Except for Kimberly, who has some
            human ailment.
     Rita : [sarcastically] Aw, poor baby!
   Goldar : The perfect time for an attack, my lord!
     Rita : [sarcastically] What a brilliant idea. Now, why didn't -I-
            think of that?
   Goldar : [growls]
     Rita : [indicating Goldar] Is he for real?
Lord Zedd : We must conquer Earth before Dregon gets his eye on it.
            Can this monster of Finster's -really- deliver?
     Rita : Of course, Zeddy-poo. No-one can put one over on us.
            Together we're unbeatable!
   Goldar : Unbeatable!
     Rita : I didn't mean you, Goldiblocks!
   Goldar : Huh!
     Rita : [to Lord Zedd] I'll go check on Finster. Uh!

[She passes Goldar with distaste, heading for Finster's workshop. Lord
 Zedd watches her go, leaning back against the Balcony railing. Goldar
 watches, too, barely containing his ire.]

Lord Zedd : [proudly] Isn't she something, Goldar?
   Goldar : Yes, my lord. She's -something- all right! [more growling]

[Pan across the shelf of clay monsters in Finster's workshop. Rita
 comes barging in ... ]

   Rita : Finster! I don't smell monsters cooking. Talk to me,
          Finster! What's the deal? Where's my monster??
Finster : Ah ... just a little longer, my Queen, and you'll have it.
          Mm-hm.
   Rita : Well, get on with it! Put that puppy in the oven and get to
          cooking. The Rangers are out of sight, and no-one can stop
          us now! Huh!
Finster : [nodding] Yes, your Cruelty. Right away.
   Rita : [leaving] Earth -will- be ours!

[Elsewhere, the Power Rangers beam through space and down to Edenoi's
 surface, landing amidst some rough terrain. The camera pans around a
 rocky slope as they speak, and explosions can be heard off-screen.]

 White Ranger : All right, everybody. Be prepared for -anything-.
Yellow Ranger : You hear those explosions?
 White Ranger : Yeah. And they're getting closer.

[Count Dregon's Spider Base continues blasting, producing further(and
 visible) explosions. The Rangers cry out, startled by the close-range
 shelling.]

   Red Ranger : Man! Somebody out there's using some heavy-duty
                firepower! Whoa!
Yellow Ranger : But, why? There's nothing out here but rocks!
  Blue Ranger : It's gotta be a spaceship, trying to disrupt the
                planet's surface.
 White Ranger : If we don't take cover, -we'll- be disrupted.
 Black Ranger : Yeah.
Yellow Ranger : Yeah.

[The Spider Base blasts again; more explosions flare up. The Rangers
 cry out once more.]

Black Ranger : Which way should we go?! [another explosion] They're
               blasting all around us!

[Suddenly everything goes quiet.]

   Red Ranger : Hey ... it's stopped!
 White Ranger : Probably not for long.
       Others : Yeah.
 White Ranger : Let's go.
 Black Ranger : Right!

[They run off-screen, soon arriving near a formation of large rocks.]

 White Ranger : This rock formation ought to give us -some- cover if
                the shelling starts again. [catches breath] We need to
                figure out where it's coming from, though, and -who's-
                doing it.
   Red Ranger : Yeah.
  Blue Ranger : Whoever they are, they're close.
 White Ranger : Yeah, and where are the Edenites?
Yellow Ranger : Wait a minute. I think I just found out where some
                of them are. [goes to rock and peers over it] But,
                what in the world are they doing?

[She's spotted four digging Edenites. One of them appears to be Dex.]

Dex : [low] I think I see movement.

[Cross back to the watching Yellow Ranger.]

Yellow Ranger : [softly] Whoa. [aloud] Hey, guys, come here! [beckons]
                Come over here and check this out!
 White Ranger : Huh?

[The others join her.]

Red Ranger : Whoa! Who are those guys?

[Focus upon Lexian's group.]

Lexian : Now, where has Dex gone?

[Cross back to the Rangers, gathered behind the rock.]

Yellow Rangers : They must be Edenites. But how can we be sure?
    Red Ranger : And what are they digging up?
   Blue Ranger : Well, according to the data that I reviewed back
                 at the Command Center, this area of the planet is
                 honeycombed with pockets of poisonous gases that
                 are just below the surface.
  White Ranger : Well, that would explain the gasmasks. But why would
                 anyone want to release poison gas?
 Yellow Ranger : Yeah, I don't get it.

[All of a sudden, four brown-robed Edenites leap down behind the Power
 Rangers. Startled, the Rangers turn to meet their accusing stares.]

         Dex : [points] Intruders! What are you doing here?
White Ranger : [approaches placatingly] Wait, we mean you no harm. We
               come to your planet in peace.
  Edenite #2 : {male} Ha! A likely story.
 Blue Ranger : No. It's true. We received a report that your planet
               was in danger.
  Edenite #3 : {male} You lie! We sent no message to the likes of you.
         Dex : You pose as friends, but your garments betray you. You
               were sent by Count Dregon to further enslave our
               people!

White Ranger : No-no-no, that's not it.
  Red Ranger : Now wait just a minute! We're from the planet Earth.
               We don't even know who this Count Dregon guy is!
  Edenite #2 : He lies! They mean to attack us!

[Dex curls the third and fourth fingers of his right hand, brings it
 down in front of his body, and sweeps it to the right, at the same
 time uttering the following ritual phrase ... ]

Dex : I call upon the Powers of Light and Truth to become Masked
      Rider! [sweeps and clenches left hand into a fist] Ectophase
      Activate!

[A Morphing device appears on Dex's belt. It is gold and rectangular
 with two red gems in the middle, and it appears full-screen as the
 Morphing Sequence begins.]

[The device's gold setting changes into a green head sporting a pair
 of insectoid feelers; the gems become its eyes. This head transforms
 into a black and silver helmet, and then the camera pulls away to
 reveal the rest of the black/green costume: a full suit with a
 hard torso. The Gem Morpher is attached to its belt.]

[Multi-coloured energies flash as the newly morphed Dex powers up. The
 initial frontal shot is followed by two side shots, his left fist
 clenched in both. Now ready for battle, the Masked Rider leaps onto
 one of the nearby boulders.]

 Masked Rider : [addressing the Rangers] Now you shall pay!
 White Ranger : Whoa! This guy definitely has the wrong idea about us.
 Masked Rider : [accompanied by arm movements] Hear me! There is no
                room on this planet for Count Dregon and his evil
                Plague Patrol. It is time for you to stand with me
                now, defenders of Edenoi!
Yellow Ranger : Couldn't we just talk about this?
 Masked Rider : Silence! Words have no meaning on a planet under the
                cape of war.

[The other three Edenites charge at the Rangers.]

  Red Ranger : [desperately] Guys, come on now! Hold on a second!
Masked Rider : For Edenoi, my friends!

[The Masked Rider leaps off his boulder and somersaults through the
 air. He launches a flying kick at the Red and White Rangers, landing
 between them, and then presses the attack. In the background, the
 other Rangers are reluctantly defending themselves against Edenites
 #2, #3, and #4.]

Black Ranger : Stop, please!
 Blue Ranger : We don't want to fight you!
  Red Ranger : We don't want to fight, guys!

[The Rangers continue to defend themselves, not wishing to harm the
 Edenites. Interestingly, the Blue Ranger kicks back at his opponent
 as the scene ends: the only retaliation shown.] 

[Cross to an exterior shot of the Moon Palace. Inside, Lord Zedd sits
 on his throne in the Chamber of Command. Rita stands beside him, her
 hand touching his. Their sceptres rest against the throne.]

  Finster : [entering] It's finished, your Highness and Loudness. I've
            completed the monster, and I think you'll be pleased. It
            is truly a magnificent creature.
Lord Zedd : [standing] Is it good enough to destroy Angel Grove??
  Finster : Yes, of course.
     Rita : Then move it, Finny! Let's see some action -now-!
  Finster : [slight bow] Mm-hm.
Lord Zedd : Bring the creature to me, Finster. I want to rule the
            Earth by sundown!
  Finster : [with an excited hand sweep] Right away. [leaves]
Lord Zedd : [faces Rita, holding out arms] Ahh, what a team we make.
     Rita : You said it, Zeddster! Now the Power Rangers are kaput!

[The evil couple laugh and hold each other.]

[Back on Edenoi, the Black Ranger stumbles against a boulder, having
 just been knocked there by one of the Edenites. He turns his head in
 time to detect - and duck - a punch, then seizes his opponent's arm.]

[The Edenite(#2) breaks free and grabs the Black Ranger's right arm, 
 then forcibly releases it and slugs him in the stomach. The Black
 Ranger staggers.]

 Black Ranger : You gotta believe me! We're not the enemy!
   Edenite #2 : Are you not intruding on our world? All intruders are
                enemies of the Edenites!

[The Yellow Ranger is backing away from Edenite #4(shortly revealed to
 be female).]

Yellow Ranger : You don't understand! Let me explain why we've come
                here! [holds out palm]

[Edenite #4 knocks away the open hand and chops the Yellow Ranger in
 the stomach, following the attack with a high-kick. The Yellow Ranger
 flips backwards and dodges aside as her opponent kicks again. Edenite
 #4's foot connects with one of the boulders instead, and the Yellow
 Ranger grabs her arm.]

Yellow Ranger : Wait! Now hold on a second. We only came because Alpha
                asked us to.
   Edenite #4 : [pulls away, surprised] Alpha? Did you say Alpha?

[The Blue Ranger is grappling with Edenite #3. After being thrown back
 he blocks a kick, ducks a punch, blocks another punch, and then grabs
 his opponent's wrists.]

Blue Ranger : We have to talk! Your planet's surface is being
              disrupted.
 Edenite #3 : [out of breath] But, but, but how? How do you know that?

[The Masked Rider is coldly circling the White and Red Rangers.]

Masked Rider : Prepare to be crushed, interlopers ... like all those
               who dare to cross the Masked Rider!

[The Rangers momentarily go into battle stance, but then stop.]

White Ranger : This is getting us nowhere. You've got to listen to us.
Masked Rider : Nothing you can say will save you!

[As he speaks, the Masked Rider breaks into a run. The Red and White
 Rangers try to match his pace, still arguing.]

Masked Rider : You sealed your own fate by coming here. Now you shall
               pay the ultimate price for your actions!
  Red Ranger : You gotta believe us! We're here to help!
Masked Rider : I believe no-one!

[The Masked Rider skids to a halt and leaps into the air. The Red and
 White Rangers do likewise, only to be struck twice by their insectoid
 aggressor. All three land.]

  Red Ranger : Oh, man! [touches right shoulder]
White Ranger : Listen, we should be fighting together!
  Red Ranger : Yeah! [holds out palms] Hold up, will ya?
White Ranger : Yeah!
Masked Rider : Never!

[The Masked Rider returns to battle with four fierce kicks, initially
 targeting the White Ranger, then the Red Ranger, then reversing the
 order. He lands a quick punch upon the White Ranger, and then the
 Red Ranger jumps him, struggling to restrain his arms.]

[But the Masked Rider is too strong: he kicks away the White Ranger,
 wrenches free of the Red Ranger, launches a (ducked) kick at the
 latter, and resumes battle stance.]

Masked Rider : [angrily] You can go tell Count Dregon you have failed!

[Cross to another shot of Count Dregon's Spider Base, again showing it
 flying away from the moon(as seen at the start of the episode). After
 a shot of the craft's underbelly, the focus shifts to the Bridge,
 where the Lord of Evil is watching the Edenite conflict on a
 display screen.]

Count Dregon : Double-Face, who are these multi-coloured creatures
               who battle Masked Rider?

[Double-Face is the name of the tall two-faced minion shown earlier.]

Double-Face : Unfortunately, the ship's computer is unable to identify
              them, my lord. But clearly they also seek to possess
              Masked Rider's powers, so they too must be destroyed!

Mutant minion : [piping up] Your Majesty, hear what I say: is there
                not a better way? Destroy the five, yes, give them
                our worst, but let them defeat Masked Rider first!
  Double-Face : Oh, silence, you genetic junkpile! If they do defeat
                Masked Rider, they will acquire his powers before we
                do!
 Count Dregon : That can -never- happen.
  Double-Face : Right.
 Count Dregon : Commence an aerial assault at -once-. You will
                continue until they're all -destroyed-.

[Close with a shot of the Spider Base once again flying away from the
 moon.]

[Return to a planetary shot of Edenoi. Down on its surface, the Masked
 Rider leaps into the air, somersaults, and lands a kick on the White
 Ranger's chest. The White Ranger falls back through the air and
 crashes to the ground. His opponent crouch-lands nearby.]

[The White Ranger picks himself up, and the two leaders resume battle
 stance.]

Masked Rider : Why do you continue? Give up and go back to Dregon!
               [turns] Huh?

[He runs off-screen to attack the Red Ranger, whom he has evidently
 just noticed. The Red Ranger ducks a kick, blocks the Masked Rider's
 right arm, and then seizes his left.]

  Red Ranger : Come on, hotshot! Hold still a second, will ya?
White Ranger : [grabs Masked Rider's right arm] Wait a second! What do
               we have to do to convince you?

[Focus upon the Spider Base's underbelly, and then cross over to the
 Bridge.]

  Double-Face : All is ready for a full aerial assault, Count Dregon,
                awaiting your command. When we attack, we shall blast
                Masked Rider and his colourful playmates to oblivion!
 Count Dregon : Everything will fall into place.
Mutant minion : Oh, good! Will the food get any better?
  Double-Face : Be quiet, you silly space mollusc!
 Count Dregon : [to Double-Face] You will commence shooting -now-.

[The Spider Base's mouth and underbelly start firing again. Cross back
 to Edenoi's surface.]

Masked Rider : [to Red and White Rangers] You two can't hold me down!

[He struggles in their grip. Just then, the shelling starts up again,
 and in the confusion he escapes.]

White Ranger : They're firing again!
  Red Ranger : And right at us this time!

[Focus on the hovering Spider Base firing away.]

[The Masked Rider rolls back towards his fellow Edenites. Another
 blast explodes around the four of them.]

Masked Rider : Wait a minute! Dregon's ship is firing at -all- of us.
               Even Dregon isn't low enough to fire on his own
               soldiers.
  Red Ranger : That's what we've been trying to tell you all along!

[The Rangers regroup, looking towards the sky.]

Yellow Ranger : Yeah.
 White Ranger : Yeah.
   Red Ranger : We came here to help, but we've been getting blasted
                since the minute we got here!
 Masked Rider : [sticks out arms, blocking other Edenites] Hold it!
                We must know if they are telling the truth. How were
                you able to find us here?
 White Ranger : [approaching Edenites with the others] We came because
                our friend Alpha 5 believed you were in danger. We're
                the Power Rangers.
 Masked Rider : [reciprocating] Friends of Alpha are friends of ours.
                [extends hand] Welcome to Edenoi.

[Focus upon the underneath of the Spider Base, now seemingly back in
 space. Double-Face's voice is heard from within, and the scene
 changes to the Bridge as he speaks.]

 Double-Face : Somehow they have all escaped destruction, Count
               Dregon.
Count Dregon : [turns] Ohh? And how do you propose we fix that?
               [points sceptre menacingly]

[Double-Face silently bows.]

Count Dregon : Fire again!

[The Spider Base resumes firing from its mouth and underbelly,
 blasting Rangers and Edenites alike.]

Masked Rider : Friends, we must seek sanctuary. [another explosion]
               This way, quickly!

[The Edenites run for cover. Further blasts land around the Rangers.]

Yellow Ranger : Whoa! You don't have to tell me twice. Come on!

[The Rangers set off as well. The Masked Rider stops outside a cave,
 beckoning urgently.]

Masked Rider : Come on! Get into the cave! Hurry! This way!

[The other eight run into the cave, narrowly dodging the blasts. The
 Masked Rider stays outside to ensure their safety and then calls his
 defiance to the sky.]

Masked Rider : Once more we are all safe: to fight you another day,
               Count Dregon!

[Two blasts land nearby as he runs into the cave.]

[Cross to a shot of the Spider Base (once again) flying away from the
 moon.]

Count Dregon's voice : Incompetent fools!

[Over on the Bridge, Count Dregon is roasting his minions.]

 Double-Face : Actually, my lord, I must say-
Count Dregon : You've let them escape. Send the Plague Patrol and find
               them immediately, or heads will ROLL!

[The one-eyed minion growls.]

   Count Dregon : Now begone!
    Double-Face : On your way!
  Female minion : Yes, sire.
One-eyed minion : Consider it done, Count. Cycloptor is on the job.

[Cycloptor(the one-eyed minion) and the female minion stagger away.]

Count Dregon : [turns his back] They shall not escape my -wrath-.

[TO BE CONTINUED.]

[Starting with this episode, bloopers, unaired footage, and special
 announcements accompany the end credits. This one contains Jason
 Frank speaking about martial arts(from one of his videos).]

Jason Frank : You can't become a martial artist unless you can control
              your mind. And once you do this, your body will follow
              on, if you know what I'm talking about.

[He demonstrates some moves for a class.]
