[Starting with this episode, scenes take place before the opening
 credits.]

[The episode opens on a red planet with a green sky, where a horde of
 cheering Piranhatrons have gathered below a rocky bluff. The Pirate
 Queen Divatox is standing above them, accompanied by Rygog, her loyal
 henchman, and Elgar, her mutant nephew. An assortment of monsters can
 also be seen on the platform. One of them is a short, obese character
 in a white and orange suit whose face is protected by a transparent
 glass plate. His suit is lined with other portholes and linked with
 breathing hoses.]

Divatox : Yes! Ye-es, yes; I -am- worth -every- moment of this.

[The Piranhatrons continue to cheer as the camera focuses on Divatox's
 feet and pans up to her face. In the background, a green, amphibious
 monster with large red eyes can be seen, wielding a large knife and
 fork.]

Divatox : Silence!

[The Piranhatrons become silent(shown on two separate shots).]

Divatox : Piranhatrons! Monsters! Faithful followers!

[Elgar, standing nearby, is giving off smoke. He is wielding his
 playing-card sword.]

Elgar : [chuckles] Yeah!

[Rygog nudges Elgar. Below, the silent Piranhatrons are listening
 attentively. An unknown sea flows behind them.]

Divatox : You -all- know the reason we are here.

[The Piranhatrons raise their fists(some touching their chests first)
 and begin to get rowdy again. Divatox makes an "enough!" motion with
 her arms. Silence returns.]

Divatox : The ruination of my plan to dominate the universe MUST BE
          AVENGED!

[Divatox punctuates the last three words with tightly clenched fists,
 sparking off the Piranhatrons again. The monsters on the bluff raise
 their fists, caught up in the spirit of the occasion, and as the
 camera pulls away from the cliff several of them can be described.]

[One is a green, hatted bug monster with a box section on his chest.
 Another is a round character wearing a baseball uniform. Standing
 between them is a third monster, hard to see properly from this
 distance. These monsters are all to Divatox's right. To her left are
 some others : a yellow-skinned monster with a frilly neck and a top
 hat, a two-legged tiger monster, and the knife and fork monster seen
 earlier.]

[After waving his sword above his head, Elgar turns to address the
 aforementioned porthole character.]

Elgar : Hey, Porto! [whacks him with sword]
Porto : Huh?
Elgar : I haven't seen her -this- mad since, ah well, [scratches head]
        I don't -know- since when!

[Porto can now be seen more clearly. He has a blue face and wears dark
 glasses. His oversized lips are a coppery colour and take up most of
 the lower half of his face. Regular teeth are visible in the center
 of this mouth. His voice has a flustered, somewhat nervous quality.]

Porto : Quiet, Elgar. I don't want -you- getting -me- in trouble.
Elgar : [annoyed] Oh, just clam up your trap, you-
Rygog : [interrupting] -Both- of you be quiet! Huh! Blithering fools!

[Divatox makes another "enough!" gesture and addresses her captive
 audience once more.]

Divatox : [forcefully] Yes! The Power Rangers -will- pay dearly! THEIR
          BELOVED EARTH WILL BECOME MIIINE! Are you -with- me?

[Divatox raises her fist to the sky. Elgar holds his sword aloft. The
 Piranhatrons pledge their allegiance by touching their hands across
 their chests and raising their fists. Divatox watches over them,
 laughing humourlessly. An angry growl emanates from her throat.]

[Opening credits.]

[Focus on an "Angel Grove High Senior Class Graduation" sign. The shot
 then changes to reveal Tanya and Kat walking through a public garden
 area, carrying decorations for the upcoming ceremony. Kat is holding
 a circular Angel Grove High School banner, featuring the image of a
 tiger. Tanya has some flowers.]

Tanya : I think the Botanical Gardens was an -excellent- choice to
        hold our Graduation Ceremony.
  Kat : Yeah, me too. I just wish Tommy could be here.
Tanya : I know, Kat, but...working on his uncle's stockcar crew was
        something he just couldn't pass up.

[Tanya and Kat have reached Adam. Adam takes some folded chairs from
 a stack and begins to walk alongside the two girls.]

 Kat : [softly] Yeah...
Adam : Yeah and besides, he's already picked up his diploma. [smiles]

[The three of them walk past a sign which reads "Terrace Room".]

  Kat : [after a moment's thought] Yeah, you're right. It is a great
        experience and I -am- happy for him.
Tanya : [smiling] Good.

[Cross to a race-track where with a squeal of tyres, a white stock car
 comes roaring into action. Six successive shots follow, depicting the
 car's progress along various stages of the track. The sixth shot pans
 across the left side of the car, revealing various sponsor logos. The
 motion makes them difficult to decipher but one contains the words
 "Beach Cafe", possibly preceded by "Ernie's". The car's number(87)
 is also revealed during the last two shots.]

[The car passes two men, one of whom is wearing a radio headset. He
 consults a stop-watch and addresses his companion.]

Man #1 : What'd I tell you, that guy got potential or what?
Man #2 : Are you telling me he's only been in that car a -month-?
Man #1 : [nods] That's what I'm telling you.

[Tommy is now shown behind the wheel, obviously engrossed in the whole
 experience.]

Tommy : [softly] Yeah...

[Tommy shifts gears and continues his circuit. Another travelling shot
 is shown, followed by one of Tommy, another car-shot, Tommy shifting
 gears and accelerating, a wheel turning(during which time a KAGV logo
 can be seen), and yet another shot of the car.]

[Cross back to Tommy behind the wheel. Man #1 sends him a message.]

Man #1's voice : Tommy, your back-end looked like it was coming a
                 little loose on Turn 3; try backing off a little.
         Tommy : [responding] You got it, Jeff.

[Tommy checks his gauges(Tommy : {softly} Man!), and takes the next
 turn. As he drives off, the scene switches back to Divatox's planet.
 Her minions are starting to become restless again.]

Divatox : [motioning for silence] Quiet!

[The noise ceases.]

Divatox : For the journey to Earth...I will need a -crew-...of my BEST
          warriors!

[The Piranhatrons stand motionless, giving their full attention. Elgar
 instantly starts clamouring for recognition.]

  Elgar : Oh! Oh! Me-me-me! Aunty Divatox, pick me!
Divatox : [completely ignoring him] Rygog!
  Rygog : Ahr, -yes-, my lieeeegge?
Divatox : You will be second in command. You will navigate the oceans
          as well as the skies!
  Rygog : Whatever you need, Divatox; I'm -always- at your disposal!
Divatox : You will select an -elite- batallion of soldiers to -bring-
          with us.
  Rygog : As you wish. Huhh...
Divatox : [turns aside] Porto.
  Porto : [dutifully] I am here.
Divatox : You will be my technical adviser. All things scientific will
          be your responsibility.
  Porto : [proudly] It will be my distinct pleasure. [slight bow] My
          knowledge and expertise are at your command.
  Elgar : [still waving frantically] Hey, what about me? Aunty
          Divatox, what about meeee?
Divatox : [fed up] All right! [rolling eyes] ...-Elgar-...
  Elgar : [chuckles] All right! [steps forward] Yeah!

[Smoke is still billowing from Elgar's body.]

Divatox : [in pained tones] What is that horrible -smell-?
  Elgar : You threw me into the Pit of Eternal Fire, remember?
          [smacks forehead] Sheesh! I'm still a little crispy!
Divatox : [scoffs] Whatever... You're coming too, I don't want to
          leave you out of my sight for -too- long.
  Elgar : [thrilled] Yee-es!! HAHA! OHOH!

[Annoyed, Divatox shoves her over-excited nephew. Porto murmurs, Rygog
 laughs, and Divatox begins to address the masses once more.]

Divatox : Piranhatrons, I will call you as I need you. [forcefully]
          -Now-, FUEL THE SUBCRAFT; DESTINATION EAARRRRRTTHHH!!!

[The Piranhatrons cheer again.]

[Back in the Botanical Gardens, Kat sticks the banner she was holding
 onto the ceremony podium.]

Kat : Perfect. Hey Rocky, how's the programs coming along?

[Kat turns back and takes a seat next to Rocky, who is sitting by a
 box of unfolded programs. Adam sets up a couple of chairs nearby and
 sits down on one of them. Tanya checks on the flowers and wanders
 over to join her friends during the course of their conversation.]

Rocky : Well...I just have this box to do right here. [lifts box] I
        wish there was more I could do to help, but, my back's sorta
        still sore.

[Adam takes a program sheet out of the box. Kat pats Rocky on the back
 and starts folding a sheet of her own.]

 Adam : Hey man, we're just glad you're okay. That was a pretty nasty
        fall you took.
Rocky : [nods] Hm... [changes subject] So, are you, ah, guys gonna
        finish telling me the story or, what?
 Adam : I think we should wait for Justin. I'm sure he doesn't want to
        miss telling you about his first experience as a Ranger.
Tanya : Where is he anyway?
 Adam : Well, he had to take a placement test. They've got to figure
        out what grade he fits in for his new school.
  Kat : Poor Justin. He's probably fallen behind the other kids,
        moving around so much.

[Fade over to Justin working on his test in the resource room at Angel
 Grove High School. A wall clock places the time at around 9:08. Ms
 Appleby supervises Justin from her desk, smiling slightly. Justin
 puts down his pencil and brings out his test paper.]

Ms Appleby : Is everything all right, Justin?
    Justin : [handing test over] I'm finished. Can I go now?
Ms Appleby : [surprised] Well, you still have over an hour left. Would
             you like to check your answers?
    Justin : I'm pretty sure they're okay.
Ms Appleby : [taken aback] Well...if you feel you've done your best.
    Justin : [smiling] Thanks. Have a nice day. [leaves]

[Ms Appleby begins comparing Justin's answers with the official ones.
 Her eyes widen.]

[Cross now to an underwater shot of Divatox's Subcraft.]

Divatox's voice : All right, Porto...let's -do- it!

[The Subcraft transforms into a blip and soars out of the ocean, into
 the sky. Shortly afterwards, Divatox and Elgar enter the control room
 through a circular sliding door(which opens like a lift). Rygog is
 already there along with a couple of Piranhatrons, and it will soon
 be revealed that Porto is also present.]

[Divatox begins her tour of inspection with Elgar tagging along
 behind.]

Divatox : [impressed] Magnificent.
  Elgar : Yeah! [chuckles]
Divatox : [to Rygog] Check the thrusters.
  Rygog : Aye-aye, Captain. [turns to do so]
Divatox : [to Porto] Man the boosters.
  Porto : [dutifully] Right away. [moves away]
  Elgar : [to Porto] Yeah, what -she- said.

[Divatox reaches the Subcraft's periscope, takes a quick look through
 it, and moves her head away from the eyepiece.]

Divatox : [intense] Yes! Faster, Elgar! -Faster-!
  Elgar : You got it, Aunty D! Ah-harh!

[Elgar turns towards a control panel and works the instruments. The
 green Subcraft blip zooms down towards Earth.]

[Cross now to an uncertain looking Skull standing outside somewhere,
 wearing his Junior Police Patrol uniform. The camera stays close,
 concealing the exact nature of his surroundings, but a "No Parking"
 sign can be seen in the background.]

Skull : Uh, Bulky? Ah, are you sure we got the right place?

[Skull walks past a similarly attired Bulk, who has a ticket-book in
 his left hand. Bulk paces as he speaks, showing their location to be
 Angel Grove Lake.]

 Bulk : [forcefully] Lt Stone said, that the only way we're gonna get
        back on the force -permanently-, is if we put parking tickets
        on -fifty- cars by the end of the day! [holds up ticket-book]
Skull : Ah...I'm not a smart man but, ah, aren't we forgetting
        something?
 Bulk : Like what?
Skull : Like, ah...

[A sudden distant shot clears up the mystery; there isn't a vehicle in
 sight.]

Skull : CARS!
 Bulk : [musing] Well, there is that...

[Back in the Botanical Gardens, an excited Justin rides his bike up
 to Adam, Kat, Tanya and Rocky.]

Justin : Guys! Guys! What'd I miss? Did you tell him about the
         Putrapods yet?

[Justin gets off his bike, still yammering away.]

Justin : Our backs were up against the wall and I threw a front kick
         [demonstrates] and a side kick! [demonstrates again]

[There is some good-natured laughter at his youthful exuberance.]

Tanya : [amused] No, no, we actually did not -do- that yet.

[The five of them begin walking together, Adam wheeling Justin's
 bike.]

Justin : Cool. I thought I'd missed it. Did you tell him about Divatox
         yet?
   Kat : Not yet.
Justin : Man; what a witch.

[Elsewhere, the Subcraft blip reverts to solid form.]

[Cross now to Lt Stone(also in police uniform), who has driven out to
 Angel Grove Lake to speak to Bulk and Skull. His back is to the water
 as he addresses them.]

Lt Stone : Gentlemen, today is your lucky day.

[Behind him the Subcraft flies into view above the lake. Bulk and
 Skull exchange stunned looks. Lt Stone continues unaware.]

Lt Stone : Since Captain Crandall decided to give me one final chance,
           I've decided to give -you two-...one final chance.

[Bulk makes an incoherent sound of fear. Skull pinches himself on the
 bridge of his nose. Both officers point towards the lake.]

Bulk : Sir, I think there's something you should see!

[The Subcraft descends towards the surface of the lake.]

Lt Stone : Not -now-, Bulkmeier.
   Skull : [tense] Yeah, but sir, I really think you oughta have a
           look-see at this!

[Lt Stone grabs Bulk and Skull by their shirt collars and yanks them
 towards him.]

Lt Stone : [angrily] Do you ever want to redeem yourselves?

[The Subcraft makes contact with the lake...]

Lt Stone : Or do you want to stay here giving tickets to imaginary
           cars? Now LISTEN UP! You gotta report to the Angel Grove
           Energy Center. The private security company was let go, and
           they want -us- to pick up the ball.

[The Subcraft dives into the lake. Lt Stone remains oblivious to the
 whole thing despite Skull's attempt to point it out.]

Lt Stone : This is your last chance, gentlemen. Don't -blow- it.

[The Subcraft finishes submerging just as Lt Stone turns to get back
 into his car. Bulk and Skull make a last ditch effort at pointing it
 out but, sensing the futility, turn it into a salute instead. Skull
 does so by bringing his pointing finger up over his left eye. He
 pulls it away with some effort.]

[Bulk and Skull watch Lt Stone drive away and then warily approach the
 water's edge. The surface of the lake is tranquil again; there is no
 sign of anything out of the ordinary. Skull absently hitches the cord
 of his police radio up to his shoulder, where it stays for about half
 a second before slipping off.]

Skull : [wretchedly] Huh? Bulky, what are we gonna do?
 Bulk : I tell you what; we're gonna get ourselves over to that
        power plant, and we are gonna keep our mouths shut!

[Skull nods in agreement.]

Bulk : Let's go!

[Bulk leaves. Skull points in the same direction and follows.]

[Cross to a shot of the Subcraft in its new home under the lake. Down
 in the control room, Elgar is hauling on a chain which is attached to
 Porto's body. Porto is tilted back towards a pair of Piranhatrons who
 shove him forward, allowing him to regain his footing. Divatox
 approaches, sounding rather fed up.]

Divatox : All right, all right, all right! Porto, get back to work.
          [makes a dismissive hand gesture]
  Porto : Yes, Captain. [turns away]

[Divatox moves over to the periscope.]

Divatox : [hand on chest] They ruined the most important ceremony of
          my life. [smiling] Now, I'm going to ruin the most important
          ceremony of -theirs-. [mockingly] Oh, I wouldn't bother with
          those college applications, Rangers.
          [chuckles and looks through eye-piece]

[Cross back to the four Turbo Rangers and Rocky, still walking through
 the Botanical Gardens. Justin's bike is nowhere in sight, probably
 stashed somewhere along the way.]

  Kat : [to Rocky] I mean it was absolutely amazing, really.
Tanya : Yeah Rocky, you will not -believe- all the stuff that happened
        to us. It was incredible.
  Kat : Yeah.

[A series of clips from "Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie" follows. Note -
 my memory on some of these could be a little sketchy, based as it is
 upon a single cinema viewing in 1998.]

[During the course of this story the five of them have arrived back at
 the stage. Rocky adjusts the podium microphone.]

Rocky : Wow, that's incredible. [smile] But, what happened to Divatox?
 Adam : I don't know. I guess she went back to wherever she came from.
Rocky : [hopefully] Great!

[The five of them sit down on the stage steps.]

Justin : I still can't believe you don't want your powers back, Rocky.
         It's so cool being a Ranger.
 Rocky : Yeah, but...y'know, I got a lot of stuff to do with my Karate
         School and..I don't know, [puts arm round Justin's shoulders]
         I think the Power's in good hands.
  Adam : Right, Rock, but remember, you'll always be a Power Ranger in
         spirit.
 Rocky : [thoughtfully] Hm...that's nice.
         [removes arm from Justin's shoulders]

[Adam's communicator sounds. He quickly answers it.]

         Adam : [seriously, to communicator] This is Adam.
Alpha's voice : [via communicator] Rangers! Come to the Power Chamber.
                Zordon needs you right away! Heh-eh!

[Adam looks a little confused by this last bit.]

Tanya : [smiling] Was he laughing?
  Kat : I...think we'd better get over there and see what's going on.

[The Turbo Rangers stand up, bidding farewell to Rocky.]

  Adam : All right.
 Rocky : See you.
   Kat : See you soon.
 Tanya : See you later.
 Rocky : All right.
Justin : Thanks for everything, Rocky.
 Rocky : Good luck!

[Over in the Subcraft, Divatox is inspecting some kind of explosive
 device.]

  Porto : It's ready, Captain.
Divatox : [amused] All right, you walking marshmellow; what have you
          got?
  Porto : As we discussed, when activated the detonator will achieve
          maximum implosive power, in sixty minutes.
  Rygog : But will it be enough to destroy the Earth's energy
          facility?
  Porto : Oh yes, and then some.
Divatox : [mock regret] The blackout will shut down the -entire- city,
          right when the Rangers are having their Graduation Ceremony.

[The villains laugh.]

[Switch to an exterior shot of the Power Chamber. Inside, Kat, Adam,
 Tanya and Justin are all standing around Alpha. Alpha is wearing a
 pink chef's costume and carrying a cake topped with Power Ranger
 figures.]

Alpha : [proudly] And I made it all by myself.
Tanya : It's -beautiful-, Alpha.
Alpha : [flattered] Ohh...

[Zordon now begins to speak. As he does so, Adam, Kat and Tanya step
 aside; this message is intended for them.]

Zordon : Rangers; I've been proud of you for -many- things, but never
         as proud as I am at this moment.
 Alpha : Ai-yi-yi, Rangers; I'm so happy, I could cry!
Justin : Don't worry, Alpha. It'll be okay.

[Justin puts his arm around Alpha's shoulders. Adam, Kat and Tanya
 smile.]

Adam : All right, ah, we'd better get going before we miss it.

[Alpha puts the cake down. Justin looks at it with intent.]

   Kat : [nervously] Ohh, I hope I remember my speech.
 Tanya : [reassuringly] Oh, you'll be great. Are you coming, Justin?
Justin : I'll be there. Alpha promised he'd teach me about the
         communications systems.
 Alpha : [taps Justin's arm] That's right, Justin!
 Tanya : Don't be late, okay?

[Tanya chuckles and teleports away, along with Adam and Kat. Justin
 tries to touch the cake.]

Alpha : [scolding] Uh-uh-uh! Now listen here, young man. No tasting.
        Got it?

[Justin smiles.]

[Over at the Angel Grove Energy Center, Bulk and Skull have arrived
 for their security assignment. Neither of them appear too thrilled
 by the apparently total lack of activity.]

Skull : [irritably] Oh yeah, Bulky. This is a -whole- lot more
        exciting than doing parking tickets.
 Bulk : [dryly] I sure hope we can handle all this action.

[Skull's next contribution is a raspberry, after which the pair wander
 off. Moments later a large porthole flies in and deposits Porto onto
 the ground via a blue burst of energy. Elgar appears beside him from
 a ripple of displaced air, his body outlined with golden energy. Both
 of them begin walking, Elgar holding the detonator and Porto carrying
 another device.]

Porto : Now remember, Elgar, you must place the detonator in the
        exact centre of the power plant's infrastructure in order
        to cause the maximum damage.
Elgar : [bored] Yeah, yeah, whatever. Come on! [starts walking away]
Porto : And one more thing.

[Elgar stops and turns back.]

Porto : Take this Changer-Laser in case anyone gives you any trouble.
Elgar : [exaggerated] Why, thank you!

[Elgar snatches the device(now identified as a Changer-Laser).]

Elgar : Good idea! [taps Porto with Changer-Laser and walks away]
        Hmph. Yeah, I won't need it, though...
Porto : [infuriated] D'oh, one of these days I'm gonna-

[Elsewhere in the plant, Elgar chuckles and comes to a halt.]

Elgar : Hey, fellas! I got a little -proposition- for ya!

[Elgar has stumbled across Bulk and Skull. They recoil in shock.]

Bulk : [tense] Don't worry, Skull; stay calm!

[Skull looks rather dubious.]

 Bulk : [quick panicked gasps] I have a plan.
Elgar : Okay, here it is. Either you step aside, or I -blast- ya!
        [holds up Changer-Laser]

[Bulk and Skull undergo twin panic attacks.]

 Bulk : Me-me? [starts pointing frantically at Skull]
Skull : [pointing at Bulk just as frantically] Yeah, yeah him! Yeah
        him! Yeah him! Ohh yeah, yeah!

[Laughing crazily, Bulk moves Skull's finger so that it is pointing
 back at its owner. Skull takes a moment to realise what has happened,
 and then...]

Skull : [horrified] NOOO!!!! Him!
Elgar : [wearily] Ohh, -brother-...

[Bulk's expression suddenly clears.]

    Bulk : [calm] Hey! Remember the last class we took at the Academy?
   Skull : [with quiet dignity] Yeah...
Together : [boldly] Let's do it!!! [they clench fists]
   Elgar : [sarcastically] -This- oughta be good.

[Bulk and Skull whip out their police batons and perform a series of
 maneouvres. Elgar just stands there watching them. They finish in a
 defensive stance, batons held ready to strike.]

 Bulk : [to Elgar] -Now- what do you say?!? Heh-ha!
Skull : [keyed up chuckle] Yeah?
Elgar : I say, "you lose"!

[Elgar zaps Bulk and Skull with blue energy from the Changer-Laser,
 causing them to howl and drop their batons. Elgar laughs wickedly
 and continues to concentrate the weapon upon them. All of a sudden
 two human arms morph into hairy, simian ones.]

Skull's voice : That kinda tickles me a little bit! Bulky! Bulky!

[Bulk howls as his head and upper body(and probably the rest of his
 person by default) transform into those of a chimpanzee. Moments
 later, Skull suffers the same fate.]

Elgar : [impressed] Whoaa!

[The Bulk chimp is staring blankly; the Skull chimp, considerably
 smaller, is scratching his head in confusion. Both are wearing just
 their police shirts, now dramatically over-sized.]

Elgar : [chuckles] Oh, this thing's kinda cool! See ya! Huh-hah!

[Elgar walks off, leaving the chimps to their own devices. The Skull
 chimp chatters a bit and the Bulk chimp pulls at his shirt. Before
 long, Elgar reaches what is presumably the centre of the power
 plant.]

Elgar : Oh...kay now. [sets down Changer-Laser] Here we go!
        [chuckles and sets detonator] Perfect. Hm-hm!
        [flicks switch] Contact!

[The detonator timer, starting at a quite unusual 59:60, counts down
 to 59:57. Its display screen is a dark red, with bright red numbers.]

Elgar : Well, that does it! Sixty minutes and it's the beginning of
        the end. Yes! [laughs and picks up Changer-Laser] Now, uh...
        -how- do I get outta here? Hm.

[Elgar wanders off as the timer counts down from 59:50 to 59:46.]

Note - $even goes to the break at 59:47, chopping off the last second.

[Switch to an establishing shot of the Energy Center. Inside, the two
 chimpanzees are trying to piece together what has just has happened
 to them. Curiously, their voices still sound human.]

 Bulk chimp : So are we alive or what, Skull?
Skull chimp : Think so...[amused] No offence, Bulky, but you look
              pretty funny!
 Bulk chimp : Ah-ha, you should see yourself there, pally!
              Aw-haw-haw-ah-ah!
Skull chimp : That alien's ray-gun must have done this to us.
 Bulk chimp : [urgently] Oh, the alien! We gotta call for backup!

[The Bulk chimp shucks off his shirt and picks up the police radio.]

Bulk chimp : [to radio] Testing! [blows raspberry] Mayday! Mayday!

[Cross over to two officers sitting in a stationary police car. They
 hear nothing but distraught chimp cries coming over the air-waves.]

Officer #1 : Hey, Bob. What do you make of this?
Officer #2 : Just some kids messing around.

[Officer #1 nods.]

Bob : Turn that thing off. Nothing ever happens on this shift anyway.

[Officer #1 turns off the radio scanner.]

[Cross to an exterior shot of the Power Chamber. An amplified version
 of the chimp broadcast is being received inside, confusing Justin
 and Alpha.]

Justin : What's that sound? And where's it coming from?
 Alpha : Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi! [checks control panel] The transmission is
         coming from the city's main energy facility. I've never seen
         anything like it!
Justin : Zordon, why don't I go check it out on my way to the
         Graduation Ceremony?
Zordon : Very well, Justin, but be careful.
Justin : Right. [teleports out]
 Alpha : Oh, ai-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi!

[Justin arrives at the power plant and begins to look around. All of a
 sudden the two chimps wander into view, catching his attention. The
 Bulk chimp is riding on the back of the Skull chimp.]

Justin : Huh?

[He approaches the chattering chimpanzees for a closer look. By the
 time he reaches them, they have separated.]

Justin : What are these two monkeys doing out here by themselves?
         [to chimps] Are you trying to tell me something?

[Elgar wanders in nearby, still lost, and unaware of Justin.]

Elgar : Hmm...maybe I should've turned -left- back there...

[Upon hearing Elgar's voice, Justin gasps and turns in that direction.
 Fortunately, Elgar's back is turned.]

Justin : Elgar. [turns back to chimps] I -thought- the monkeys were
         trying to tell me something. Come on. [moves away]
 Elgar : Or maybe it was right...

[Justin leads the chimps to cover and begins spying on Elgar.]

     Justin : You two monkeys stay right here.
Skull chimp : Did you hear that, Bulky? He called us -monkeys-!

[Justin warily watches Elgar, whose back is still turned.]

Elgar : You can -never- find a gas station when you really need one.
        [frustrated growl]

[The chimpanzees choose this inopportune moment to continue talking,
 resulting in a series of loud chattering sounds that are apparently
 meaningless to anyone but themselves.]

     Justin : [whispering] Shhh! Quiet! Shh!
 Bulk chimp : That explains why I've been dying to eat a bunch of
              bananas!
Skull chimp : Ya got any? I mean, we should be worried about this.
 Bulk chimp : The only thing we should be worried about is not finding
              bananas!
     Justin : Shh!
 Bulk chimp : [desperately] Let's go to Ernie's!
Skull chimp : Right behind ya, Bulky.

[The chimps run off.]

Justin : Come -back- here! [breaks cover to follow them]
 Elgar : [suspiciously] Who's there?

[He turns around and finally notices Justin.]

 Elgar : Huhh!!!
Justin : Uh-oh.
 Elgar : Ah-HA!!!

[Elgar's Changer-Laser is replaced by his playing-card sword.]

 Elgar : [chuckles] Time for the cards to cut -you-! Huhhh!
         [approaches, beckoning menacingly] Come here!
Justin : [standing his ground] Hey, Elgar. Remember me?
 Elgar : [advancing] Yeahh! Didn't you used to be BIGGER?
Justin : [also advancing] I can still take care of myself.

[CENSORSHIP ALERT - CHANNEL $EVEN, AUSTRALIA.]

$even recycles the "Elgar advancing" footage from a moment ago, dubs
"We'll see!" over it, and skips to Justin in battle stance at the end
of the episode. Other versions continue as follows...

[Justin deftly dodges behind Elgar(Elgar : We'll see!) and deals him
 a series of three swift kicks. Before the stunned mutant has time to
 react, Justin has landed two further kicks upon him, this time from
 the front, knocking him back against a post. Elgar swings at Justin,
 who brings his hands up to block, and forces him around against the
 post.]

 Elgar : Why, you little pipsqueak, what do you think you're doing?
Justin : -This-! [kicks Elgar away]

[END OF CENSORED SECTION.]

[Justin enters battle stance, ready to continue the fight. Elgar can
 be heard growling off-screen.]

[TO BE CONTINUED.]
