[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.]
