[The episode opens with an establishing shot of the Angel Grove
Energy
Center. Inside, the conflict continues as Justin flips Elgar
to the
ground. Elgar cries out but wastes no time in getting back
on his
feet, only slightly fazed.]
Elgar : Huhhh! Good one.
Justin : [in battle stance] You give up, Elgar?
Elgar : Me, give up? Get real! Piranhatrons!
Heh-ehh!
[Three Piranhatrons spring through a rippling warp, water momentarily
sloshing as they land. Justin turns towards them(Justin :
Huh?) just
as a swirling golden warp brings three more. He studies these
new
arrivals for a moment and then turns back to Elgar.]
Justin : You want to get serious, huh, Elgar?
Elgar : You bet! Huh-hahh!
[Opening credits.]
[Back in the Botanical Gardens, the Senior Class Graduation is about
to commence. Many students are walking through the grounds
on their
way to the ceremony, clothed in purple(male) and yellow(female)
gowns.]
[Fade over to a new scene of the ceremony in progress. The graduating
students have been placed in two sections, with parents and
guests
behind them. A central aisle leads directly to the stage,
where the
black garbed official party(including Ms Appleby) is seated.
Mr
Caplan is at the podium, presenting his farewell speech.]
Mr Caplan : And for the last four years, I've watched you
all grow and
learn; and it has given me hope, that the future of this
great nation is secure.
[As Mr Caplan continues his speech the focus changes to show Adam
and
Tanya sitting in the front righthand row. Tanya smiles as
she listens
to her principal's kind words, but Adam's mind is obviously
elsewhere
as he first looks over his shoulder and then pushes up his
sleeve to
check his communicator.]
Mr Caplan : [off screen] I am so proud of all of you, -
Adam : [to Tanya] Do you see Justin?
[Tanya's smile fades, replaced by a look of concern. She looks around,
too, but to no avail.]
Mr Caplan : [off screen] -as you should be proud of yourselves.
I'd-
Tanya : [to Adam] No.
Mr Caplan : [off screen] -like to thank you for-
Tanya : It's weird, huh?
Mr Caplan : [off screen] -over these last-
Adam : [quietly] Yeah.
Mr Caplan : [off screen] -four years...
[Adam checks his communicator again, worry starting to gnaw at him.
It
can now be seen that Kat is sitting to the right of Tanya.
She does
not appear to have noticed the discreet conversation, focused
as she
is upon memorising her upcoming speech.]
[Back at the power plant, things are about to escalate.]
Elgar : [sarcastically] This oughta be good. [beckons]
C'mon!
Justin : Shift into Turbo!
[Justin flips his left wrist, causing his Turbo Morpher to appear
in
a burst of blue light. He produces his Turbo Key(also shining
blue)
from behind his back, inserts it into the Morpher, and with
a quick
twist begins the Morphing Sequence(as seen in Turbo: A Power
Rangers
Movie.)]
Justin : Mountain Blaster, Turbo Power! [morphs into the
Blue Ranger]
[An "already in progress" melee is now shown.]
[A Piranhatron(#1) spins back from an unseen blow in a narrow walkway
area. Two others(#2 and #3) can be seen in the background,
#2 taking
#1's place. A moment later the Blue Ranger enters the same
spot, on
the defensive against another Piranhatron(#4). After blocking
#4's
attempted blows he punches the creature, briefly stunning
it. Having
done so, he back-kicks Piranhatron #2 and front-kicks #4,
dropping
the latter.]
[Back at the Graduation Ceremony, Adam sighs to himself. Mr Caplan
continues his speech, unaware of the dilemma taking place
right in
front of him.]
Mr Caplan : [off screen] I know many of you have decided-
[Adam can take it no longer. He gets up out of his seat and hurries
past Tanya and Kat.]
Adam : [quickly] I'll be right back.
Mr Caplan : [off screen] -on college choices already, -
Kat : [to Tanya] Where's
he going?
[Tanya shakes her head, subtly. Both girls look concerned.]
Mr Caplan : [off screen] -and some of you are
going into careers...
[Adam gets a safe distance away and activates his communicator.
He
clears his throat before speaking.]
Adam : [to communicator] Zordon. It's Adam. I'm a
little worried
about Justin;
is he still there?
Zordon : [via communicator] He went to the Angel Grove energy
facility
to check into
a strange signal we were receiving. He was
given specific
instructions to call if there was any problem.
[Adam's disquiet increases. Meanwhile, back at the power plant...]
[The Blue Ranger dodges past a Piranhatron(A) and back-kicks a second
(B), knocking it away. He grabs a third's arm(C) and holds
it whilst
back-kicking another(A or a new one, D), taking it down.
Having done
so, he pushes Piranhatron C back and stuns it with a punch.
He then
turns and knocks another away(either D or A, depending on
which one
was involved before), and concludes the segment by finishing
off C.]
[Adam returns to the ceremony, standing to the right of the audience
section where he was sitting. Off-screen, Mr Caplan has finished
his
speech and another speaker(female) has the podium.]
Speaker : [off screen] As your senior student body
president, I-
Adam : [low] Hey!
Speaker : [off screen] -want to thank you all-
[Tanya looks over at Adam. Kat doesn't appear to notice.]
Adam : [low] C'mon. [beckons urgently]
Speaker : [off screen] -for your help in giving the school
your
class gift;
-
[Kat and Tanya exchange looks and get up to join Adam.]
Speaker : [off screen] -the sign in front of the school with
our
mascot standing
proudly at...
[The Ranger girls reach Adam, who speaks to them urgently.]
Adam : I've got a really bad feeling. C'mon, we gotta hurry.
Kat : [softly] But, the speech-
[She is interrupted by Mr Caplan, who has just stepped up.]
Mr Caplan : Well, Kat, are you ready for your speech?
Kat : [awkwardly] Er...yes,
Mr Caplan, only...there's something
I have to take care of first.
Mr Caplan : But, ah, you're right after Bobby's speech.
Tanya : [shortly] I'm sorry, it's -sort-
of an emergency.
Adam : [smiles reassuringly] Yeah,
we'll make it back in time.
[The three of them run off.]
Mr Caplan : But, ah-
Speaker : [off screen] And may we all not lose the
bonds that have
helped us -all- through this change-
[Mr Caplan sighs.]
[Cross now to an exterior shot of the Subcraft. Over in the control
room, Divatox is eagerly spying on recent happenings through
the
periscope. She swivels it around to her right, finishing
up standing
in front of Rygog.]
Divatox : [gloating] Ohhh, yes. How prrecious!
[The periscope shows Adam, Kat and Tanya running. Tanya removes
her
mortarboard as she goes.]
Divatox : Look at the children run. Mmmm...
Rygog : Lucky for Elgar it's not a battle of the
-wits-! [laughs]
Divatox : Silence!
[Rygog freezes.]
Divatox : The Rangers will undoubtedly come to his aid. [scheming]
We must
make sure that they don't get there..-too- quickly.
[delicious
chuckle]
Rygog : [amused] Yes.
[Adam, Kat and Tanya have now reached a car park, passing a sign
which
reads "Senior Class Graduation -->". Adam removes his mortarboard
as
he goes, leaving Kat as the only Ranger still wearing one.
The three
of them, having checked that the coast is clear, are just
preparing
to teleport when the ambush is sprung. Six Piranhatrons emerge
from
two warps, led by Divatox, whose arrival is heralded by a
sizzling
bolt of lightning. Water splashes from them and yet leaves
the
ground oddly dry.]
[The three Rangers are considerably startled but hold their ground
as
Divatox approaches, anger underlying her outwardly casual
manner.]
Divatox : Hello, Rangers. I just wanted to be here personally
to
extend my
congratulations.
[Kat(who has removed her mortarboard between shots) and Tanya turn
to
Adam, uneasily. Adam stares fixedly in Divatox's direction.]
Divatox : [stabbing finger at Rangers] GET THEM!
[The Piranhatrons charge; the Rangers tense for battle; Divatox
laughs.]
[CENSORSHIP ALERT - CHANNEL $EVEN, AUSTRALIA.]
$even bites a huge chunk out of this one.
None of the following
content is present.
[Piranhatrons swarm the three Rangers, who
immediately begin to fight
them off. Kat throws her mortarboard
aside to free up her hands; her
fellow Rangers appear to have ditched
theirs, too.]
[Tanya grabs a Piranhatron and slams her foot
against its chest. The
Piranhatron falls back against one
of the parked vehicles and
collapses face-down.]
[Kat grabs a Piranhatron's arm and gives it
a firm twist, flipping
the creature to the ground.]
[Adam is now tackling two Piranhatrons at
once. He blocks the first,
then quickly turns and blocks the second
whilst also landing a punch
to its chest. He slams his elbow into
the first Piranhatron and takes
down the second with a low sweeping
kick. The first launches a kick
of its own just as he spins aside.]
[Tanya grabs a Piranhatron's left arm and
holds it as she delivers a
kneeing attack. She releases the arm
and lands a kick, causing the
creature to collapse. A second Piranhatron
rushes her. She quickly
ducks its attack and then disposes
of a third by first blocking and
then knocking it away. Having done
so, she turns back and launches
a kick at the second Piranhatron.]
[Kat blocks a Piranhatron's kick with her
arm and then responds in
kind. Her first kick connects with
the Piranhatron's arm, her second
with its body. Without missing a beat
she lashes backwards with the
same foot, taking down another.]
[A Piranhatron spin-kicks at Adam, who grabs
its foot and kicks up at
its chest. He lands a kick on another,
smashing it against a van, and
turns back to deal with the first.
Although managing to fend off its
left attack he fails to avoid its right;
the Piranhatron seizes hold
of his gown and grips it tightly. Adam
wrenches at its arm, trying to
free himself.]
[Tanya twice elbows a Piranhatron.]
Adam : [still restrained] You
guys, go!
Tanya : [calling] Are you sure?
Adam : Yeah, hurry!
[Adam breaks free, jump-kicking both Piranhatrons
and knocking them
down. He enters battle stance, anticipating
further assault.]
[END OF CENSORED SECTION.]
Tanya : Shift into Turbo!
[Tanya and Kat remain unaccosted as they summon their Turbo Morphers.
They insert and turn their Keys, shining yellow and pink,
and the
Morphing Sequence begins.]
Tanya : Dune Star, Turbo Power! [morphs into the Yellow Ranger]
Kat : Wind Chaser, Turbo Power! [morphs into the
Pink Ranger]
[The Yellow and Pink Rangers somersault and flip through the air
as
they reach the power plant, shown on several separate shots(first
both of them together, then the Pink Ranger alone, then the
Yellow
Ranger alone, then the Pink Ranger alone again and the Yellow
Ranger
alone again). They arrive to a more open battlefield, having
moved
out of the narrow confines seen earlier. The Blue Ranger
is in the
background, fighting Piranhatrons.]
[The Yellow Ranger flips between two Piranhatrons. The Pink Ranger
takes down one of them with a low sweep-kick and chops its
fallen
body whilst the Yellow Ranger disposes of the other.]
Pink Ranger : Justin, we're here!
[They flip towards the Blue Ranger.]
[Back in the car park, Adam has just been knocked down by an offscreen
attack. He rolls over towards Divatox, who hauls him up.]
Divatox : [viciously] On your feet; you're not done yet!
[Divatox shoves Adam back towards her Piranhatrons, one of whom
kicks
him hard, evoking a cry of pain. She laughs wickedly.]
Adam : [defiantly] Shift into Turbo!
[Adam's Turbo Morpher snaps onto his wrist. He inserts and turns
his
Key, glaring at Divatox the whole time. The Morphing Sequence
begins.]
Adam : Desert Thunder, Turbo Power! [morphs into the Green
Ranger]
[The Green Ranger launches a flying kick at one of the Piranhatrons,
driving it away. He clenches a fist, awaiting further attacks,
and
doesn't have to wait long. Reacting quickly, he ducks a blow
from
another Piranhatron, punches a third, and back-kicks a fourth.
He
blocks a fifth, punches it twice, and runs off-screen.]
[Over in the Power Chamber, Alpha has been watching this fight with
concern. As he speaks, the monitor shows the Green Ranger
being held
by two Piranhatrons; apparently his advantage was short-lived.]
Alpha : [panicky] Ai-yi-yi! Zordon! Adam's in big trouble.
He needs
some help immediately!
Ohhh!
Zordon : We must contact Tommy.
[Over at the race-track, Tommy pulls up at the end of his latest
circuit. Jeff and Man #2(from Part 1) approach.]
Jeff : All right. You shaved another second off, Tommy,
great job.
Tommy : [removing helmet, smiling] Thanks.
Jeff : Okay. Take a break, we're gonna try tweaking
the front-end.
Tommy : Okay.
Jeff : Okay.
[Jeff and Man #2 leave, and Tommy climbs out of the car. Just then
his
communicator sounds. After checking to see that the coast
is clear he
removes his left racing glove to answer the call.]
Tommy : [to communicator] This is Tommy, come in.
Zordon : [via communicator] Tommy; I am sorry to call you,
but Adam is
in trouble.
Tommy : [to communicator] I'm on it.
[He moves a safe distance away, and then...]
Tommy : Shift into Turbo!
[With a flip of the wrist, Tommy's Turbo Morpher appears. He inserts
his Key, blazing red, and initiates the Morphing Sequence.]
Tommy : Red Lightning, Turbo Power! [morphs into the Red
Ranger]
[Back in the car park, the Green Ranger is now free of the restraining
Piranhatrons but fighting a losing battle. One sends him
reeling with
a hefty blow; he clutches his right shoulder and grabs at
the side of
a trailer for support.]
Green Ranger : [spotting something off-screen] Huh?
[The Piranhatrons have amassed in two lines of three, all facing
the
Green Ranger. Consequently they are taken by surprise when
a sped-up
Red Ranger approaches from behind and zig-zags his way to
the front,
taking down all six with a lightning array of moves. He slows
back
to normal speed after knocking over the last one.]
Red Ranger : [to Green Ranger] Heard you could use a hand.
You okay?
[He hurries over to his fellow Ranger and touches his shoulder.]
Green Ranger : Yeah. Thanks.
Red Ranger : Then let's finish these guys!
[The Red and Green Rangers charge into the fray against the renewed
Piranhatrons. Divatox urges her troops on.]
Divatox : Ha! Get 'em! Get 'em! Get those Power Rangers!
Finish
them off!
[The Green Ranger kicks a Piranhatron, knocking it down.]
[The Red Ranger grips a Piranhatron's arm and twists aside to avoid
an
attack from a second. Now positioned behind the first Piranhatron,
he
smashes his foot into the other's chest; the impact being
enough to
drop the creature and curl its legs over its head. He delivers
a kick
to the first Piranhatron and then to one of its companions,
taking
both down.]
[The Green Ranger blocks another Piranhatron and hurls it up onto
the
nearby slope. By now the battered soldiers have had enough;
they
retreat towards their Queen.]
Red Ranger : Huh, well. We'd love to stay and finish!
Green Ranger : Yeah, but we've got to help our friends!
[Divatox approaches, angrily shoving the Piranhatrons aside.]
Divatox : Go ahead, -boys-! Help your friends at the power
plant; if
it's still
there!
[With these ominous words she laughs and raises her hand. Charges
of
lightning are visible as she swoops her arm and unleashes
her power,
teleporting herself away with a reddish watery effect. Her
soldiers
are drawn back through warps.]
Red Ranger : Man!
Green Ranger : [touching the Red Ranger's shoulder] Thanks,
Tommy;
you made it just in time. [makes fist] Let's hope
we're in time for the others.
[Switch to a shot of the Angel Grove Energy Center sign. The Red
and
Green Rangers are shown leaping through the air.]
[Cross now to a walkway located above the ground. Down below, the
Pink
and Blue Rangers can be seen fighting Piranhatrons. Elgar
stays close
to the latter, occasionly joining in. The Yellow Ranger can
be seen
fighting on top of a shed or some such structure.]
[The Red Ranger moves into view on the walkway, readying himself
for
battle. He blocks a Piranhatron several times before punching
it,
chopping it down, and running off-screen.]
[The Green Ranger is tackling a Piranhatron up on another, extremely
narrow, walkway. He blocks and grabs onto its right arm and
shoulder,
forcing the creature down against his raised knee. However,
the close
quarters make combat difficult, and the Piranhatron acquires
a brief
advantage by pushing him against the top of the railing.
The Green
Ranger grapples with its arm for a moment and then twists
aside,
regaining the initiative.]
Green Ranger : See ya!
[He hurls the Piranhatron over the railing. It begins to fall...]
Green Ranger : Happy landings!
[The Piranhatron crashes to the ground. It gets up, wobbling its
head
in a very disorientated manner.]
[The Red Ranger is now standing between two Piranhatrons on the
ground
level. He blocks the rear Piranhatron, blocks and hits the
front one,
and then elbows the back one, stunning it.]
[CENSORSHIP ALERT - FOX KIDS UK.]
Fox Kids UK chops the end of this fight, which
continues as follows:
[The Red Ranger takes down the front Piranhatron and kicks the other,
smashing it against a wall or fence. This Piranhatron collapses.]
[END OF CENSORED SECTION.]
[All of the Rangers group together to confront Elgar and the battered
Piranhatrons, now standing behind him. Elgar himself is looking
a bit
shaky.]
Red Ranger : All right, Elgar! You're -finished-!
Elgar : Yes. My work here is done!
[touches chest]
Red Ranger : What'd you do to the power plant??
Elgar : That's for me to know and
you -not- to know!
[raises sword] Bye-bye!
[Elgar and the Piranhatrons are sucked back through a warp.]
Red Ranger : Huh!
Pink Ranger : Well, I guess the theory that Divatox went
back to her
own dimension is out!
Red Ranger : [makes fist] Yeah; we know she did -something-
to this
place, and it's huge. [indicates size with hands] We got
a lot of area to cover so let's start looking. You guys
ready?
[The Blue, Yellow, and Pink Rangers nod.]
Red Ranger : [makes a fist] Let's do it!
Others : [making fists] Right!
[The five of them run off to begin their search. As they do so,
the
focus shifts to the ticking detonator. Cut to a close-up
shot of its
timer, which counts down from 30:47 to 30:42.]
Note - Prime strikes again, chopping off a
split second of footage
prior
to the break(stopping at 30:43). I'm assuming that
$even
does the same.
[Focus on the detonator some time later, counting down from 18:14
to
18:11. Elsewhere in the plant, the Rangers are still searching
but
without much success. They continue to do so as they speak.]
Red Ranger : [looking around] Oh, man! I cannot
believe the SIZE of
this place. It's huge! [runs to a different spot]
Pink Ranger : I don't even know where to begin.
Yellow Ranger : It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
And
we're not even sure what we're looking for here.
Blue Ranger : But we know it's trouble.
Green Ranger : And we know if we don't find whatever
we're looking
for, it's bound to mean bigger trouble.
Red Ranger : Yeah. This place is -way- too
big to find anything
together. The only way we're gonna find it, we just
gotta split up. All right? [makes fist]
Green Ranger : Yeah, I agree.
Red Ranger : [to Green and Yellow Rangers]
You guys start at the
outside and work in. We'll start in the middle and
work out. Got it?
Both :
Got it.
Red Ranger : Great!
[The three of them clench fists, and the Green and Yellow Rangers
run
off to begin their task. The Red Ranger turns to address
the other
two.]
Red Ranger : All right, you guys. Ready?
Both : Ready. [clench fists]
Red Ranger : Let's do it!
[The three of them run off in the opposite direction. This is followed
by a brief shot of the detonator timer as it counts down
from 16:56
to 16:52. Meanwhile, the three Rangers have arrived at another
area
of the power plant. They continue walking as they converse.]
Pink Ranger : I wish there was a way to know where to look.
Red Ranger : [thinks for a moment] There is. But Justin,
you've got
to go back to the Power Chamber.
Blue Ranger : Sure. But how come?
Red Ranger : The Turbo Navigator.
Pink Ranger : Of course! Remember how it led us to Lerigot?
Red Ranger : See if Alpha can make some adjustments,
so we can use
it here.
Blue Ranger : You got it! [makes fist and hurries away]
Red Ranger : [to Pink Ranger] Let's go!
Pink Ranger : Right.
[The Pink and Red Rangers run off to resume the search. The detonator
counts down from 12:25 to 12:22.]
[Switch to an exterior shot of the Subcraft. Inside the control
room,
Elgar lugs a bottle of water past Divatox, who is watching
something
through the periscope.]
Elgar : Whoa! Boy. Huhh-hah. It is SOO hard to get good water
delivery
20,000 leagues under.
Huh!
[The periscope is trained upon the detonator timer, which counts
down
from 12:09 to 12:06.]
Divatox : [calm delight] Hmm...heehee-hahahaha! Tick-tock,
tick-tock,
look at
those simpletons. [chuckles] -They- couldn't find
pointy ears
at a Star Trek Convention! Hahaha!
[Cross to an exterior shot of the Power Chamber and then to one
of the
interior. A regular sized Justin teleports in, holding his
helmet. He
seems to take a moment to realise that he has arrived before
making
his way over to Alpha, who is watching something on the monitor.
In
fact, he is so engrossed that he doesn't notice Justin's
approach(and
neither does Zordon, apparently). Justin slows down and takes
a peek
at the monitor, which shows a purplish wormhole in space.]
Alpha : Oh, isn't it exciting?
[Justin taps him on the shoulder, causing him to jump.]
Justin : Alpha! What's that?
Alpha : [startled] Ai-ya-ya-ya-yi!! Justin!
[He hurriedly pushes a keypad behind his back. The monitor blanks.]
Alpha : [guiltily] Don't sneak up on me like that!
You-you frightened
me! What are you
doing here?
Justin : [somewhat confused] Tommy said you might be able
to make some
adjustments on
the Turbo Navigator, to help us at the power
plant.
Alpha : Oh, well, um, it's just that- Ai-yi-yi! Let
me see, now...
[Justin follows Alpha over to another console.]
Zordon : Justin, the Turbo Navigator will automatically respond
to any
extra-terrestrial
organism or device. No alterations are
necessary.
[Justin activates the console, summoning the Turbo Navigator with
a
blue sheen of light. Two panels on its outer casing alternately
glow
red and blue(possibly as part of a boot-up/testing sequence),
and
shut off as Justin takes the device.]
Justin : Thanks, Zordon.
[Alpha is now moaning to himself.]
Justin : Are you okay, Alpha?
Alpha : [defensively] Okay? Of course I'm okay! Why
in the world
wouldn't I be
okay?
Justin : [dubiously] Okay. [teleports out]
Alpha : Ohh, ai-yi-yi! That was a close one, Zordon.
Zordon : Yes, Alpha. But the time will come to tell them
soon enough.
[Back at the power plant, the other four Rangers rendezvous at the
corner of two above-ground walkways.]
Yellow Ranger : Tommy! Kat!
Red Ranger : Hey, guys. Did you come up with
anything?
Yellow Ranger : We didn't even find a trace of anything
unusual. How
about you?
Pink Ranger : No, we didn't either.
Blue Ranger : [running up, fully morphed] Hey, guys!
Green Ranger : Man!
Red Ranger : Huh?
Blue Ranger : I got the Turbo Navigator.
Red Ranger : [takes it] Great. Did Alpha make
the adjustments?
Blue Ranger : He was acting weird, but Zordon said
it would
automatically adjust to spot -anything-
extra-terrestrial.
Red Ranger : [nods] Okay. let's try it out.
[He opens the Turbo Navigator(the display reads TURBO NAVIGATOR
ACTIVATED in green letters) and pushes a couple of buttons.
The
display screen hones in on something.]
Pink Ranger : Do you see anything?
Red Ranger : Yeah. Something's near the main
generator. All right,
let's get over there. Let's do it.
Yellow Ranger : Right behind you.
[The five of them run off to investigate.]
[Switch to an exterior shot of the Subcraft. Inside the control
room,
Elgar is cleaning Porto's faceplate with a squeegee(viewed
from the
latter's perspective). He takes a moment to admire his work...and
then sneezes all over it.]
Elgar : [annoyed] Now I gotta start all over again!
[Divatox, at the periscope, appears most exasperated by these antics.]
Porto's voice : Say it, don't spray it, Elgar!
Divatox : [wearily] I'm -surrounded-
by goofballs....[sighs]
Rygog!
Rygog : Here,
Captain!
[Rygog approaches Divatox, shoving Elgar and Porto aside.]
Rygog : Out of my way, nincompoops. [growls]
Divatox : [urgently] I need you to send some of your best
Piranhatrons
to -stop-
them! NOW!
Rygog : [bowing] Your wish is my command, your Evilness.
Hahh!
Divatox : Hmpf! [looks through eye-piece again]
[Back at the power plant, time is fast running out as the detonator
counts down from 01:39 to 01:37. The Rangers arrive nearby,
drawn
by the rapidly beeping Turbo Navigator.]
Red Ranger : All right, it's really close. [spots detonator]
Hey,
there it is! Come on.
[The five of them hurry over to the detonator. The Red Ranger closes
the Turbo Navigator.]
Red Ranger : It's some sort of detonator! [tense] Oh,
man!
Blue Ranger : It's ticking, and we don't have much time
left!
[The timer counts down from 01:29 to 01:27. A few sparking explosions
suddenly flare up, startling the Rangers and forcing them
to take
cover(Red Ranger : What's that?). Rygog has arrived, accompanied
by
a band of Piranhatrons.]
Rygog : That, my little
friend, is a monumental understatement.
Green Ranger : [tense] Rygog. What are -you- doing here?
Rygog : Just destroying
the Power Rangers. [points at them]
ATTACK! [laughs]
[The Piranhatrons close in on the Rangers. The Green Ranger charges
towards one of them only to be kicked away; that Piranhatron
then
tries to take on the Red Ranger, who blocks and chops it
aside.
Having done so, he grabs the detonator.]
Red Ranger : We gotta get this outta here!
[The Red Ranger dodges a lunging attack in the nick of time(Red
Ranger : Whoa!) and ends up near the Pink Ranger. She kicks
away
another Piranhatron.]
Pink Ranger : [to Red Ranger] Is there a switch to turn it
off??
[The Red Ranger looks at the detonator, which counts down from 01:06
to 01:05 as he speaks.]
Red Ranger : No! Nothing.
[The Pink Ranger quickly fights off another Piranhatron.]
Red Ranger : I've got to get rid of this thing!
[A Piranhatron comes between them, kicking. Both Rangers dodge(Red
Ranger : Whoa!). The Pink Ranger restrains the Piranhatron
as it
tries to grab him.]
Pink Ranger : We'll hold them off, you get it outta here!
Red Ranger : Right!
[The Red Ranger ducks a Piranhatron's blow and hurries away just
as
the Pink Ranger flips hers to the ground. He is then briefly
shown
in slow motion, running with the detonator.]
Red Ranger : [calling into communicator] Zordon!
[A Piranhatron kicks at him but misses. Shortly afterwards he ducks
its punch, still running.]
Red Ranger : [calling into communicator] We need to get this
detonator
into a safe spot!
[He turns back just in time to see the Blue Ranger launch a flying
kick at the Piranhatron, securing his passage.]
Blue Ranger : Go!
[The Red Ranger continues to run, soon arriving at a road which
leads
away from the power plant.]
Zordon's voice : [via communicator] I'm sending in the Robotic
Arsenal
Mobiliser, Tommy. It'll be there any moment.
Red Ranger : [turns around] There it
is! [thumb up] All right.
[The Robotic Arsenal Mobiliser drives up; a small cart formed from
the
combined Turbo Weapons. The Red Ranger attaches the detonator
to this
vehicle, its countdown rapidly increasing from 00:13 to 00:10...]
Blue Ranger : It's gonna blow!
Yellow Ranger : Hurry!
Pink Ranger : Tommy!
Green Ranger : Do it now! [smacks fist into hand]
[It can now be seen that the other four Rangers are standing behind
a
railing nearby. The Red Ranger straightens up from the Mobiliser
and
points away.]
Red Ranger : Get going!
[The Robotic Arsenal Mobiliser speeds away carrying its dangerous
cargo. The other Rangers hurry down to join their leader,
and they
watch the dwindling vehicle together(Red Ranger : Yeah!).]
[Cross to a shot of the travelling detonator. It counts down from
00:02 to 00:00 and finally goes off, but at a safe distance
from
the power plant. The Rangers recoil from the distant implosion
and then begin to celebrate.]
Red Ranger : Huh!
Green Ranger : Yeah!
Blue Ranger : Yes!
Red Ranger : All right!
Pink Ranger : Yes!
Yellow Ranger : Yes!
Green Ranger : Yeah!
Yellow Ranger : [leaps into the air] All right!
Red Ranger : Good job, Adam! [slaps hands with
the Green Ranger]
We did it. [triumphantly] Yes!
[Inside the Power Chamber, Alpha is watching the mysterious wormhole
on the monitor again. As he speaks, he heads over towards
one of the
control panels.]
Alpha : Zordon; the wormhole will be completely open
soon, but it
will only remain
open for a matter of moments. Oh, ai-yi-
yi-yi-yi...
Zordon : Then it is crucial that we are prepared. Send for
Lerigot
right away, Alpha.
Alpha : Sending message now. Oh, ai-yi-yi... [pushes
buttons]
[Cross back to the Senior Class Graduation. Kat's absence is obviously
holding things up, and Mr Caplan is valiantly stalling for
time at
the podium.]
Mr Caplan : And, who could forget that wonderful senior class
trip to
the Botanical Gardens?
[One member of the official party starts dozing off...]
Mr Caplan : [chuckling] Of course, the poison ivy, eh, was
a bit of
a problem!
[As Mr Caplan speaks, another staff member blows on his glasses
and
puts them back on. A third has actually fallen asleep on
Ms Appleby's
shoulder. She nudges him off.]
Mr Caplan : And then there was that -exciting- trip to the
Recycling
Center, hah!
[The students have been looking rather bored, too; and that's when
Adam, Tanya, Kat and Justin finally return.]
Mr Caplan : [relieved] Ahh!
[Kat checks her palm-cards and makes sure that her mortarboard is
correctly positioned; last minute preparations for her speech.]
Mr Caplan : I see that our commencement speaker has returned,
so
without any -further- ado, Katherine Hillard.
[The audience begins to applaud as Kat heads for the stage. Adam,
Tanya and Justin, also clapping, go to sit down.]
[Down in the Subcraft control room, Divatox is looking through the
periscope(presumably spying upon the graduation ceremony).
Elgar
stands behind her.]
Elgar : Uhh...call me crazy, but, ah-
[Divatox swings furiously at Elgar, who ducks...]
Elgar : D'oh!
[...and springs back up again.]
Elgar : [incorrigibly] Didn't you want to -keep- them from
their
graduation? Hmm? Huh?
Hee-hee-hee...
[Divatox curls her lip.]
[Back at the ceremony, Kat is finishing up her speech.]
Kat : And although we won't be coming here every day, we
take with us
a knowledge of-
[The camera pans across Rocky, who was sitting to Kat's right in
the
audience, and who now looks to his left...]
Kat : [off-screen] -ourselves and the world;
[...towards Tanya...]
Kat : [off-screen] -the confidence to face whatever life
hands us, -
[...and Adam.]
Kat : [off-screen] -and friendships that will last-
[Cut to a beaming Justin(Kat : {off-screen} -forever.)]
Kat : [smiling] For this, we will always be grateful. Thank
you.
[The audience applauds as Kat takes her seat between Rocky and Tanya.
Off-screen, Mr Caplan re-assumes the podium. The next announcement
is viewed from his perspective.]
Mr Caplan : You may now move your tassel to the other side
of your
cap.
[The students perform this task.]
Mr Caplan : Class of 1997, I'm proud of each and every one
of you. I
[salutes] salute you; and wish you good luck in whatever
the future holds.
[The audience begins to applaud and cheer. Justin stands up and
comes
down the aisle to congratulate his friends. The students
throw their
mortarboards into the air(in the time-honoured manner) and
stand up,
Tanya jumping to celebrate. Justin gets a group hug from
his friends
and a brief hair-ruffle from Rocky.]
[Switch to a shot of the exterior Youth Center sign. The interior
has
been decorated with various bunches of balloons, and Adam,
Kat and
Tanya pass them as they head towards the Juice Bar. Several
students
are hanging around as well, still wearing their graduation
gowns.]
Adam : [to Tanya] So, ah, hey; Tanya, did you hear
about the job at
the radio station?
Tanya : [brightly] You guys are looking at the new trainee
at KAGV.
Adam : [smiling] Cool!
Kat : [smiling] Heyy!
Tanya : [to Adam] So what are you doing this summer?
Adam : I'm gonna be working as a stuntman at the Angel
Grove
Amusement Park. [smiles]
Tanya : That's beautiful!
Kat : [simultaneously] Woww!
[Just then Lt Stone enters, carrying the Skull chimp and holding
the
Bulk chimp's hand. Adam, Kat and Tanya approach.]
Kat : [amazed] Lt Stone!
Where did they come from?
Lt Stone : I found them wandering around outside
and then they..
dragged me in here. It sounds weird, but...I think
they're trying to tell me something.
Bulk chimp : Lt Stone! It's us; Bulk and Skull!
[Lt Stone looks at the two chimps but can only hear chattering...]
Bulk chimp : Tanya? Adam? Anyone? Don't you recognise us?
[Kat raises her eyebrows; no luck there, either. The Bulk chimp
sighs
in frustration but soon perks up when he spots something
interesting
off-screen. It turns out to be a banana split on top of a
table.]
Bulk chimp : Heyy! A banana split!
[He starts frantically pointing in that direction.]
Bulk chimp : Aw man, I gotta have that banana split!
[Adam and Tanya watch these antics silently.]
Lt Stone : [off-screen] It's like he's trying to tell me
something.
[The Bulk chimp suddenly slips away.]
Lt Stone : Hey-hey, come back here!
[The Bulk chimp arrives at the table and leaps onto an empty chair,
chattering loudly. The disconcerted owner of the banana split
pushes
it towards him without saying a word.]
[Lt Stone, who is no longer holding the Skull chimp, rushes over
to
help out but collides with a waiter on the way. The contents
of the
waiter's tray(another banana split) go flying up into the
air...Lt
Stone(now on his back) cries out as he sees the dessert descending
upon him...there is an off-screen squishing sound...the Bulk
chimp
looks over at Lt Stone's ice-cream splattered face...and
the room
erupts with laughter.]
[Lt Stone removes the bowl from his head and sits up, making a small
effort to wipe the ice-cream off his face. The chimps approach
him.]
Lt Stone : [smiling] Y'know...there is something awfully
familiar
about
you two.
[Cross over to Alpha inside the Power Chamber.]
Alpha : [worried] Ai-yi-yi, Zordon! It's getting close,
and we
haven't heard
from Lerigot yet.
Zordon : There is no need to worry, Alpha. Lerigot has never
let us
down.
Alpha : I know, Zordon.
[Streams of shimmering golden energy suddenly appear next to Alpha.
This energy spirals downwards, revealing Lerigot from top
to bottom.]
Alpha : [turning] Huh? What? [relieved] Ohh! Lerigot!
You made it!
[shakes
Lerigot's hand with both of his]
Lerigot : Hooommmme. Going sooon...
Alpha : [nodding] Yes.
Zordon : Welcome, Lerigot. Alpha, check on the status
of the
wormhole.
[The monitor shows the wormhole again, now with asteroids drifting
nearby.]
Alpha : The wormhole is nearly ready for interdimensional
travel,
Zordon.
Lerigot : Must go soon.
Zordon : As soon as it is ready, Alpha, call the Rangers.
Alpha : Yes, Zordon. [starts pushing buttons]
[The wormhole now appears on a different screen, this one equipped
with measurement lines on both sides(ranging from 12 to 02).]
Divatox's voice : [calmly] Ah, a wormhole.
[The camera slowly pans up to reveal the source of this display;
some
kind of control panel viewing device. Divatox raises her
head away
from the viewer as she speaks.]
Divatox : Porto, where does the passage to the wormhole end?
Porto : [positioned to her right] By my calculations,
the planet
Eltar. But
who would want to go -there-?
Divatox : [happily] There's only -one- intergalactic being
on Earth
that has
any reason to to take a trip to Eltar. Ho; this
could be
my lucky day after all.
[And she smiles with evil delight.]
