[Adam and Tanya arrive.]

Tanya : Hey, Kat!
  Kat : [quickly hides purse with bag] Hi.
Tanya : [amused] Ah, what was that?
  Kat : [playing innocent] What?
 Adam : [grinning] Come on, let's see it.

[Kat sighs and hands the purse to Tanya. A pregnant pause ensues ... ]

  Kat : [defensively] It's a purse, okay?
Tanya : [amused] And you bought this?
  Kat : No. I made it in my Art class.

[Tanya gives the purse to Adam.]

  Kat : It didn't exactly turn out the way I'd planned.
Tanya : [barely containing herself] Well, you know, it's not so bad.
        Not everybody's good at everything.
 Adam : [chuckles] Look at it this way. Since I've known you, this
        is the only thing you haven't done perfectly.
  Kat : [now smiling] Thanks. I think.

[Across the room, Bulk and Skull are sitting at a table piled up with
 books. Skull is goofing around with a magnifying glass, examining a
 comic book at different angles.]

Bulk : Hey, hey. Hey! [annoyed] Could you keep it down over there? We
       are -trying- to study.

[Adam, Tanya, and Kat look somewhat sceptical.]

 Bulk : Don't look so surprised. After all, we are going for our
        Detective Licences. [practices with fingerprint brush]
Skull : We're gonna be full-fledged detectives!

[They both chuckle happily.]

[Skull turns his head and peers through the magnifying glass once
 more. Suddenly, his enlarged eye widens in response to something
 off-screen, and he chokes in horror. Detective Stone is standing
 there, glaring at him.]

[Skull starts gaping in alarm, comedically exaggerated by the
 magnifying glass in front of his mouth.]

Det. Stone : That's provided you two pass the test. And there's only
             one way to do that. Study!

[Bulk and Skull sober up and get back to work.]

Skull : [muttering] Uh-huh.
 Bulk : [muttering] Uh-huh. Gotcha.

[Det. Stone leaves, shaking his head. Adam, Kat, and Tanya chuckle. It
 is then that Jason arrives at their table with something serious on
 his mind.]

Jason : [softly] Hey.
 Adam : Hey, what's up?
  Kat : Hi.
Jason : [low] We have an emergency. We need to be at the Power Chamber
        -right now-.
  Kat : [after a pause] Okay.

[Kat picks up her bag and sets off with the others. Her ugly purse is
 left behind, forgotten ... for now.]

[Cross over to the Power Chamber interior. In a scene initially filmed
 upside-down, Jason and Adam walk through one of the doors. Tanya and
 Kat follow, with Rocky bringing up the rear. Kat no longer has her
 bag from the previous scene.]

[The five of them stop not far from the doorway, staring at something
 off-screen. Kat steps between Adam and Jason, trying to get a better
 look.]

Adam : Tommy, what's wrong?

[Across the room, a worried Tommy and Alpha are facing another figure,
 this one clad in familiar jeans and black top. But when he turns to
 face the others, his features are those of an elderly man. Tommy
 sadly indicates him.]

   Kat : [softly] Who's that?
Figure : Don't you recognise me, Katherine? It's me, Billy.
         [chuckles and puts on glasses]

[Shocked, the others approach "Old Billy".]

 Kat : Billy? No way.
Adam : No way.
 Kat : I don't believe it.

[Fade out. Fade back in with an exterior shot of the Power Chamber and
 then return to the interior.]

Tanya : [concerned] Billy, how did this -happen-?

[As the following conversation takes place, out of sequence footage
 from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers and Mighty Morphin' Alien Rangers
 appears split-screen.]

Old Billy : Well, eh-eh, you remember when Master Vile turned back
            time and we all became kids?
    Tommy : Yeah. Billy was the only Ranger to use his device to
            become himself again.
     Adam : Yeah, I remember! The Regenerator.
      Kat : It was powered by the Power Coins.
    Rocky : But it was destroyed.

[The split-screen shows Zeo-era Billy working on some wiring under one
 of the Power Chamber control panels. His face suddenly wobbles in an
 odd manner, and he quickly gets to his feet.]

[A new shot begins, concealing Billy's face off-screen as he finishes
 standing up. Orange energy runs through his body, towards his head,
 and then he comes properly into view, as Old Billy. His face wobbles
 again - accompanied by an odd sound effect - and he stares at his
 aged hands in shock.]

Old Billy : [speaking throughout] It looks as if the Regenerator had
            a side-effect. [touches left cheek]
    Alpha : It's speeding up Billy's ageing process! He's getting
            older every minute! Ohh!

[The split-screen comes to an end.]

     Adam : Can we reverse it?
   Zordon : I'm afraid the answer to that question remains unknown,
            Adam.
Old Billy : [suddenly inspired] Wait a minute! I've got an idea.
            [walks up some steps and out of the room]

[Cross over to a sweeping shot of the Machine Empire Skybase. Inside,
 a newly-repaired King Mondo is getting re-acquainted with his wife
 and younger son.]

 Machina : My dear husband! You've returned at last.
   Mondo : Of course, my love. And I am fully rested.
Sprocket : Here's what happened, Daddy! Gasket and Archerina showed
           up. They've tried to take over your empire while you were
           away!
   Mondo : [angrily] I'm not surprised. Just wait till I get my hands
           on that wayward son of mine!

[Gasket and Archerina are crouched outside somewhere, intercepting
 this conversation with a listening device.]

Mondo's voice : I'll teach Gasket a thing or two when I find him!
       Gasket : Drats! My -father's- back, and he's looking for me!
    Archerina : I suggest that we retreat to our own planet for now.
       Gasket : Mm, agreed. We'll come up with a new plan. If Father
                catches me, I'm toast! Let's go.
    Archerina : Yes, dear.

[Gasket and Archerina stand up. Pink crackling energy draws both them
 and their device away.]

[Over in the Juice Bar, two pieces of toast suddenly pop out of a
 toaster, catching Ernie's attention. He approaches the toaster, which
 is sitting on top of a "Lost And Found" box, which is sitting on top
 of a table where Kat and Old Billy are sitting.]

Ernie : Hey! I've been looking all over the place for this.
        [takes toaster] Thank you.
  Kat : You're welcome. [pats Ernie's left elbow and chuckles]

[Ernie gives Old Billy a long stare and then walks off shaking his
 head. Kat breathes a sigh of relief and continues the search.]

      Kat : So have you ever lost any devices at the Youth Center
            before?
Old Billy : I don't think so, but we've got to check all
            possibilities.
      Kat : [nods] Right.

[Across the room, Bulk and Skull are now hooked up to an electronic
 listening device. Bulk twiddles a knob, and a tiny scanner dish pops
 up. It whirls around, monitoring the different sound frequencies in
 the room.]

 Bulk : The secret to any good detective is gathering clues.
Skull : [nods] We can get all the clues we need with the Eavesdropper
        3000! [taps device]

[They both grin and nod. Suddenly, the dish stops whirling. Bulk and
 Skull peer towards Kat and Old Billy's table ... ]

Bulk : [sly] Hey! Let's listen in and see what Katherine is saying to
       that old guy.

[Skull nods. Bulk makes an adjustment to the Eavesdropper 3000, and a
 huge receiver dish pops up. Electronic squeals are heard as it hones
 in on the conversation.]

Kat : Well, it doesn't look like we're gonna find anything.

[Focus on the receiver dish.]

Old Billy's voice : Yeah, I think you're right.

[But, what's this? He's just found Kat's purse.]

Old Billy : Oh! Somebody lost their purse. [hands it to Kat]
      Kat : [less than pleased] Oh. Thanks.

[Old Billy takes a whistle out of the box, rattles it next to his
 right ear, and blows into it for no ostensible reason. Across the
 room, Bulk and Skull howl in agony from the amplified sound waves.]

[Up on the moon, Rita(at her telescope) is also screaming. Lord Zedd,
 standing nearby, groans.]

     Rita : Aaargghh!! I hate it when they scream! Aarghh!!
Lord Zedd : [mostly drowned out] Aargh! It hurts! Yargh!

[Finster emerges from the parked motorhome, carrying a Wand with a red
 ribbon tied around it.]

  Finster : Might I have a moment of your time, your Royal Badness?
     Rita : What is it? Make it snappy! You're interrupting my
            snooping!
  Finster : I've completed a new Staff to make monsters with.
     Rita : It's about time, Finster. King Mondo's back in town, and
            we've got to keep up with the Joneses! [chuckles]
Lord Zedd : [nods] Yes.
  Finster : I dare say that this Staff is much more powerful than
            anything you are accustomed to, my Queen. [hands it over]
     Rita : [examining it] It looks the -same- to me.
  Finster : Ah, yes, but it's completely different. It will give you
            the power to do things you've never thought possible. Ah,
            shall I tell you?
     Rita : I'd rather you -don't- tell me. I want to be surprised.

[Goldar and Rito step up next to Finster.]

  Finster : Oh, all right, but remember - if your target is on the
            Earth above you, you must drive the motorhome fast enough
            to match the target's location and velocity. That's the
            only way the Staff will work, my Queen.
     Rita : Let's not waste time talking about it! [faces Earth] I'm
            gonna turn that do-gooder Katherine into a -monster-!
Lord Zedd : Sounds like the perfect plan! The Power Rangers will never
            destroy one of their own.

[Rita cackles.]

Lord Zedd: [beckons] Come, everyone! Ah, let's get rolling.

[Laughing, the villains pile onto the motorhome. Shortly afterwards,
 the beaten-up vehicle is shown driving away(viewed first from behind
 and then from the passenger side). Rita has her new Staff sticking
 out the front window.]

Rita : [excited] Go! Go! Go, Zedd, go! Yeah! Hahaha!

[Focus on a more distant shot of the motorhome.]

Rita : Faster, Zeddy! We've almost got her!

[Back in the Juice Bar, Kat and Old Billy are still hunting through
 the "Lost And Found" box. Old Billy finds a fish; Kat tries on a
 pair of weird glasses; both of them laugh. Old Billy continues
 searching the box.]

[Kat tenses as the "ageing" sound effect is heard off-screen.]

      Kat : Billy, you're getting older.
Old Billy : [off-screen] What?
      Kat : We'd better get back.

[The camera returns to Old Billy, whose hair has become more grey. He
 touches his right cheek and examines his left hand as if to confirm
 her diagnosis, and then replies with an almost forgetten expression.]

Old Billy : Affirmative.

[Kat helps him up, and the two of them start to leave. Cross back to
 the speeding motorhome ... ]

Rita : She's almost within range!

[Cross to the motorhome interior. Humming a ditty, Rito steps up to
 Goldar, who is sitting behind Finster, and taps him on the left
 shoulder.]

  Rito : Hey! What are you thinking? That's my seat!
Goldar : [growls] It's mine!
  Rito : No way, monkey-boy!

[Rito and Goldar start fighting. Goldar shoves Rito into Finster, who
 bumps into Rita.]

Rita : Stop! Leave me alone!

[She shrieks and drops her Staff. It falls against the window-sill
 and looses off a red beam.]

[Cross back to Kat and Old Billy's recently vacated table, focusing in
 on Kat's ugly purse. The mistimed beam zaps the purse; it vanishes,
 leaving a puff of smoke.]

[Up on the moon, viewed from the front, the motorhome screeches to a
 halt.]

Rita's voice : I dropped my Staff! Stop!

[She groans as the vehicle stops, throwing its occupants around.]

[Behind a bush not far from the Youth Center, a dark, piggish cartoon
 outline appears. Drawing back its teeth-like zipper, the new monster
 materialises.]

[It resembles a walking pink beanbag, with a button for an eye and a
 zipper for a mouth, and it appears to be wearing some kind of black
 cap. The monster laughs, its voice squawking and female.]

[Back in the motorhome, Rito peers through the telescope.]

Rito : Great monster, sis!

[Rita shoves him aside and takes a peek. The purse monster appears
 in its sights.]

     Rita : It's a PURSE! A purse monster?! What kind of monster is
            THAT?!
  Finster : Well, it does have quite a nice zipper, my Queen.
     Rita : Quiet!
  Finster : Oh, sorry.
     Rita : I need to think!
Lord Zedd : Oh, now we're in trouble.

[Back in the Power Chamber, Alpha wheels a skeleton labelled "Very
 Old" past a table of chemicals where Tanya is working. Behind her,
 Tommy is scanning some papers. He quickly puts them down as Kat
 and Old Billy re-enter through one of the doors.]

    Tommy : Any luck, Billy?
Old Billy : [sighs and shakes head] No. Katherine and I weren't able
            to find anything that might help.

[Rocky and Adam, who are working near one of the control panels,
 exchange looks and smile.]

Rocky : [relieved sigh] Well, we may have found the answer!

[The others gather round.]

Rocky : They're teleporting in now.

[Two Aquitian teleportation beams descend into the room; Cestro and
 Delphine have arrived. Cestro is holding a large gun-like device.]

Old Billy : [happily] Delphine! Cestro!
 Delphine : [sweeping hands in Aquitian greeting] Greetings, Rangers.
   Zordon : Welcome back, Rangers of Aquitar.
    Tommy : We knew Cestro was smart enough to reconstruct the device.
 Delphine : Billy, is that you?
Old Billy : [chuckles self-consciously] Yes.
   Cestro : Tommy told us about your problem. I have constructed a new
            Regenerator device that should return you back to normal.
Old Billy : Oh, that's great! 'cos I'm not getting any younger.
            [chuckles and touches face again]

[A short time later, Cestro aims the device at Old Billy. From this
 angle, it can be seen that the device has a bottle of water, with
 yellow bands, attached to its back. Alpha waits tensely a short
 distance behind Cestro.]

Cestro : Here we go, Billy.

[Yellow rings of energy beam into the front of the device. Focus upon
 Old Billy waiting. Suddenly, the device blows up! Old Billy shields
 his face as two more sparking explosions flare up, and then lowers
 his arms.]

Delphine : [approaches Cestro] What happened?
  Cestro : I am uncertain. Perhaps there was too much feedback.

[Behind them, one of the control panels blows up too. Alpha staggers
 to his feet nearby.]

Alpha : Ohh! Ai-yi-yi! [starts pushing buttons] The explosion
        destroyed the Teleportation Unit!
Tommy : [tense] Can you fix it?
Alpha : I'll try! [continues pushing buttons] Oh!

[Over in the Machine Empire Skybase, Klank approaches the royal
 family.]

   Klank : Zedd and Rita have just made a monster from a pink purse,
           your Highness. [kneels]
Sprocket : [cheekily] A -purse monster-? That's so last season!
   Klank : If Rita and Zedd are successful, they'll destroy the
           Rangers for you, your Highness.
   Mondo : Ludicrous! No-one defeats the Rangers but -me-! I'll take
           my greatest monster to Earth and destroy them -myself-!

[Back in the Power Chamber, Cestro's Regenerator device is now lying
 on a table, with the detached bottle nearby. The water inside is a
 bubbling brown, and smoke puffs from it.]

   Cestro : [picks up bottle] I'm afraid the device is damaged too. In
            order to repair it, we will need very fresh water.
    Rocky : [thoughtful sigh] Well, how about Angel Grove Falls? I
            mean, that's the closest fresh water around.
Old Billy : Yuh-you can take the Zeo Jet Cycles. Erm, I was tuning
            them up just before this all started.
   Cestro : Delphine and I will need help to repair the Regenerator.

[Suddenly, the Power Chamber Alarm goes off, startling everyone.]

Zordon : Rangers, the Machine Skybase -and- Rita and Zedd have both
         sent down new monsters.
 Jason : You guys go ahead. I'll stay here and help the Alien Rangers.
 Tommy : [to Jason] All right. [faces camera] It's Morphin' Time!

[The Morphing Sequence begins.]

  Kat : Zeo Ranger 1, Pink! [morphs into Zeo Ranger 1]
Tanya : Zeo Ranger 2, Yellow! [morphs into Zeo Ranger 2]
Rocky : Zeo Ranger 3, Blue! [morphs into Zeo Ranger 3]
 Adam : Zeo Ranger 4, Green! [morphs into Zeo Ranger 4]
Tommy : Zeo Ranger 5, Red! [morphs into Zeo Ranger 5]

[Cross to a shot of Zeo Ranger 5 riding his Jet Cycle in an as yet
 unidentified area.]

Zeo Ranger 5 : Stay alert! I know they're around here -somewhere-.

[He revs up his Jet Cycle. The others follow in this order: 4, 3, 2,
 1, and it can now be seen that they're riding through a mountainous
 region.]

[Up above, a monster is spying on them. The camera pans around him as
 he speaks, revealing a body constructed from a variety of cogs. He
 has a single eye in the center of his face.]

Monster : Heehee, yeahh! Out for a little afternoon ride, Power
          Rangers? I've got something that'll take you places you've
          never been before!

[Laughing, the monster fires off five blasts from his eye. An
 evil-looking cog appears on each Jet Cycle, startling the Rangers.]

Zeo Ranger 5 : What's wrong with the bikes?!

[The evil cog on his Jet Cycle begins to turn, and then glows red, as
 does the entire vehicle. The other Cycles briefly shimmer red, too.]

Zeo Ranger 5 : Does anybody have control?
Zeo Ranger 1 : I'm trying, but everything's going haywire!

[The gauges on her instrument panel are going crazy.]

Zeo Ranger 2 : Same here!
Zeo Ranger 3 : We've gotta find a way to stop 'em!
Zeo Ranger 5 : Look out!

[Briefly focus upon the evil cog on his Jet Cycle. The struggling Zeo
 Rangers are now heading straight for an isolated building up ahead.]

Zeo Ranger 5 : Try to turn!

[Each Ranger is briefly shown in turn. Unable to break free of the
 evil force controlling their Cycles, they smash through the front
 wall of the building. Toppling off their bikes, they attempt to
 shelter themselves from falling debris.]

[A fire begins to blaze.]

Zeo Ranger 5 : Whoa! It's gonna blow! Run! Come on! Let's go!

[The five of them stagger away, and not before time - the building
 explodes in spectacular fashion, knocking them off their feet. Zeo
 Ranger 5 hits the ground first, followed by a shot of the explosion,
 a shot of Zeo Rangers 3 and 4 hitting the ground, another shot of
 the explosion, Zeo Rangers 1 and 2 hitting the ground, and, lastly,
 the explosion again.]

[All of a sudden, King Mondo calls out to them from atop a nearby
 cliff. The cog monster stands beside him, and a small group of
 Cogs, armed with spears, dart into position below.]

Mondo : How do you like your fiery finale, Rangers?

[The Rangers pick themselves up and enter battle stance.]

Zeo Ranger 5 : It's King Mondo!
       Mondo : That's right! I'm rebuilt and I'm better than ever,
               with my new monster, Cog-Changer!

[Cog-Changer laughs and sends out another blast from his eye. One of
 the Cogs raises its face-plate as if to blast the Rangers, and two
 evil cogs beam over its eyes. Another evil cog lands on its body.]

       Mondo : King Mondo is back for good!
Zeo Ranger 5 : You don't get it - do you, King Mondo?
       Mondo : Attack them now!

[The Cogs and Rangers charge each other.]

[Zeo Ranger 5 kicks a Cog, blocks another's spear, and strikes his
 opponent in the stomach.]

[Zeo Ranger 1 fends off another Cog and shoves it in the stomach. It
 brings its spear down, striking her hands.]

[King Mondo and Cog-Changer are watching the battle from a grassy
 location, as opposed to the cliff-top of a moment ago.]

Mondo : Excellent, indeed. The final defeat of those putrid Power
        Rangers is mine, and mine alone!

[On the moon, Rita and Lord Zedd emerge from the motorhome, staring
 up at the Earth.]

     Rita : That tub of rebuilt parts isn't grabbing my glory!
Lord Zedd : Yes!
     Rita : Make my Impursinator ...

[They join their sceptres together.]

Together : .. GROW! [laugh]

[Greenish-blue energy crackles from the Staff and Wand. Down on Earth,
 the laughing Impursinator monster grows to enormous size, again using
 the dark cartoony effect. She shrieks laughter.]

[The Rangers enter battle stance below. Strangely, there is now no
 sign of the Cogs, Cog-Changer, or even King Mondo himself.]

Zeo Ranger 5 : We need Zeo Zord Power now!

[The travelling Zords are briefly shown. The Rangers leap up and beam
 inside.]

Zeo Ranger 5 : [in Zeo Zord 5] Zeo Megazord!

[The Zeo Megazord forms. Cross to its cockpit.]

Zeo Ranger 5 : We don't have much time! Billy's depending on us.
      Others : Right!

[The Zeo Megazord goes into battle stance.]

Impursinator : Yay! I'd love to pick on someone my own size!

[Impursinator seizes hold of the Zeo Megazord. It throws her off and
 lands a punch to her bulbous gut, but to no effect.]

Impursinator : [giggles, rubs stomach] Ooh, that tickles! [cackles]

[Time to turn up the power; the Zeo 4 Battle Helmet drops into
 place. Inside the cockpit, Zeo Ranger 4 has taken the front seat.]

Zeo Ranger 4 : Zeo 4 Battle Helmet, activate!

[The Zeo Megazord butts its horned helmet against Impursinator - again
 inflicting no damage - and recoils.]

Zeo Ranger 3 : [in front seat] Zeo 3 Battle Helmet!

[The Zeo 3 Battle Helmet drops into place.]

Zeo Ranger 3 : This'll be a blast!

[The Battle Helmet blasts a blue beam at Impursinator. She absorbs the
 energy, bends over, and springs back up, returning the blast to its
 source. The Zeo Megazord reels, sparks flying.]

Zeo Ranger 2 : [in front seat] Zeo 2 Battle Helmet! [works controls]

[The Zeo 2 Battle Helmet drops into place.]

Zeo Ranger 2 : What's with this purse of yours, Kat?

[The Zeo 2 Battle Helmet looses off yellow blasts at Impursinator, who
 absorbs them and retaliates with twin pink bursts from her hands. The
 Zeo Megazord sparks again.]

Zeo Ranger 1 : [in front seat] Zeo 1 Battle Helmet, activate!

[The Zeo 1 Battle Helmet drops into place.]

Zeo Ranger 1 : I never did like that purse.

[The Zeo 1 Battle Helmet blasts Impursinator, but once again does no
 damage at all. Impursinator retaliates with her twin-beam attack,
 and the sparking Megazord reels once more.]

Rangers : [in cockpit] Zeo Megazord Sabre, now!

[The Zeo Megazord Sabre charges up and slashes Impursinator, but yet 
 again has no effect upon the gigantic purse. Cackling with glee, she
 blasts again. There is an explosion, and the Megazord hits the
 ground.]

Impursinator : [descending through the air] Victory!!!

[She lands with a crash, throwing herself atop the fallen Megazord. It
 hurls its Sabre aside, needing both hands to grab her.]

     Rangers : [in cockpit] Whoa!
Zeo Ranger 5 : [to communicator] Red Battlezord, now!

[The Red Battlezord blasts out of the Holding Bay cannon and whirls
 through the air. Zeo Ranger 5 beams inside.]

Zeo Ranger 5 : [in cockpit] Back off, Impursinator!

[The Red Battlezord lands and goes into battle stance. It advances on
 Impursinator, who is still crouched over the Zeo Megazord.]

Impursinator : No more Ms Nice Purse!

[The Red Battlezord hauls Impursinator off its companion robot, deals
 her a quick barrage of punches, and slugs her in the face. She reels
 back and starts angrily whirling her arms.]

Impursinator : That's it! You're through!

[Cross over to the Machine Empire Skybase. Inside, King Mondo has
 evidently returned from Earth.]

Mondo : That monster of Rita's is ridiculous! I refuse to let it
        destroy my Rangers. Cog-Changer, move in and do your stuff!

[Down on Earth, Cog-Changer walks into the foreground of the clash,
 studying the gigantic forms above. The Red Battlezord continues to
 pummel Impursinator while the Zeo Megazord slowly regains its feet.]

Cog-Changer : Right away, my King. I'll plant an evil cog inside the
              Zeo Megazord!

[He laughs and fires a golden energy ball into the Zeo Megazord's
 chest. It reappears as an evil cog, landing upon a slowly moving
 large cog. The evil cog starts to turn, causing the regular cogs
 to whirl around at top speed.]

Cog-Changer : Perfect! [laughs in a sinister fashion and moves away]

[The Red Battlezord drives back Impursinator with a steady barrage of
 punches, then stops, all of a sudden, and staggers. Impursinator
 merrily rubs her stomach, once again unscathed.]

Impursinator : That was -fun-! Come on, let's do it again! [laughs]
Zeo Ranger 5 : [in Red Battlezord] Time for the heavy artillery!

[The artillery on the Red Battlezord's wrists blazes into action, and
 there is an explosion ... but when it clears, Impursinator is still
 standing at full capacity. She fires her pink beams at the Red
 Battlezord, causing it to reel.]

Zeo Ranger 5 : Wah! We need more power, guys! Prepare to link up.

[He activates some controls, and the Zeo MegaBattlezord Sequence is
 initiated. Cross to the Rangers inside the cockpit.]

Zeo Ranger 5 : Now, let's take care of this overgrown accesory!

[The MegaBattlezord rumbles forward, blasting away at full strength,
 but even that is not enough to take out Impursinator. Unaffected, she
 fires her pink beams again, aiming right at the cockpit. The Rangers
 cry out, jolted by the impact.]

Zeo Ranger 5 : We need Jason and Pyramidas!

[Over at Angel Grove Falls, Jason is crouched down, filling up the
 Regenerator bottle with fresh, clear water.]

Jason : This water -has- to be pure enough. I've got to get it back to
        Billy before it's too late.

[He puts the cap on the bottle.]

Jason : I sure hope Cestro can repair the Regenerating device with
        this. Hang in there, Billy.

[He straightens up, examining the bottle with a small smile. Suddenly,
 his communicator sounds. After furtively checking his surroundings,
 he answers the call.]

       Jason : [to communicator] Jason here.
Zeo Ranger 5 : [in MegaBattlezord cockpit] Jason! This thing's tougher
               than we thought! We need you and Pyramidas.
       Jason : [nods, to communicator] Okay.
               [faces camera] It's Morphin' Time!

[Still holding the precious bottle, Jason crosses his wrists. Gold
 energy flows through his hands as the Morphing Sequence begins.]

Jason : Gold Ranger Power! [morphs into the Gold Ranger]

[Cross to a shot of Pyramidas. It launches its usual lightning attack
 at Impursinator, who shrieks as sparks surge around her, and then
 rumbles forward to finish the job.]

Gold Ranger : All right, everyone! Initiate Zeo Ultrazord, now!

[He activates some controls; the Zeo Ultrazord forms.]

Impursinator : Oh, goody, another one! I -love- little toys!

[The "little toy" looms above her ... ]

Rangers : [together] Zeo Ultrazord, fire!

[The Zeo Ultrazord unleashes its full artillery upon Impursinator. Her
 stomach swells out as she first absorbs and then reflects the blasts,
 producing a moderate explosion.]

Impursinator : [laughs and rubs stomach] Haven't you learned yet?
               You're powerless against me, Rangers!
 Gold Ranger : [in cockpit] The purse is right. We're gonna need to
               form a new configuration. [activates controls]

[Pyramidas's arms fold back; its front section slides out and forms
 a carrier structure.]

Rangers : [together] Zeo Ultrazord, Carrier Mode!

[The Red Battlezord's artillery appears on the back of Pyramidas, with
 Zeo Zord 5 standing in between, all three glowing red. Zeo Zords 1
 and 2 appear at the rear of the carrier section; Zeo Zords 3 and 4
 appear in front of them. All four shine with Ranger-coloured energy.]

[The Ultrazord Carrier advances upon Impursinator, pelting her with
 small bursts. As might be expected, these, too, have no effect.]

Impursinator : Blast me all you want! I'm not going anywhere!
Zeo Ranger 5 : Ah, it's not working! We've gotta retreat and get the
               water to Billy!

[Almost as quickly as it came, the Ultrazord Carrier retreats.]

Impursinator : [gloating] You're running away? Now I will destroy you!

[Mondo, Machina, and Sprocket have been watching the battle on their
 circular Viewing Screen. Mondo groans heavily.]

Sprocket : Dad, did you hear what that purse monster said? What are
           you gonna -do-?
   Mondo : Watch and learn, my son, watch and learn.

[The three of them laugh.]

[Cross back to Impursinator, who is now standing under a blue(rather
 than overcast) sky. A large porthole, through which purplish space
 can be seen, floats towards her.]

Impursinator : You can't escape me, Rangers! You can't es-

[She shrieks as the porthole sucks her away.]

[Up on the moon, Rita has been watching this via telescope. Lord Zedd
 stands nearby.]

     Rita : Waargghh!!! My monster! What happened to my MONSTER?!
Lord Zedd : Ahh, it looks like someone just teleported it away.
     Rita : Oh, find it! Find it, Zeddy! That was my best monster
            EVER!

[Over in the Skybase, Sprocket waddles up to his father.]

Sprocket : Pop, what happened to the Impursinator? It was about to
           win!
   Mondo : Exactly. I've teleported it to another planet so -I- can
           destroy the Rangers.
Sprocket : [impressed] How are you gonna -do- it?
   Mondo : The Cog-Changer planted an evil part in the Zeo Megazord.
           The next time they use it, they'll all be destroyed!

[The pair of them laugh.]

[Back in the Power Chamber, the Rangers enter through one of the
 doors, carrying their helmets. Jason has the bottle in his right
 hand.]

Tommy : We've got the water.

[Across the room, Old Billy, Alpha, Cestro, and Delphine are standing
 together. Delphine is using a hand-held device on Old Billy; it fires
 repeated blue rings at him, possibly to stabilise his ageing.]

Delphine : [to Rangers] It may be too late.

[Cross to an exterior shot of the Power Chamber. Inside, Cestro has
 now attached the fresh water to the Regenerator. He aims it at Old
 Billy and switches it on as the latter removes his glasses.]

[A red blast fires from the Regenerator. It courses through Old Billy
 from head to toe, and a continuous humming sound is heard as his
 features start returning to normal.] 

Tanya : [to Kat] It's working!

[But the effect is only temporary. The humming cuts out, replaced by
 the ageing sound effects; Billy's face wobbles in a deformed manner
 and then returns to its elderly state. He puts his glasses back on
 and groans while Tanya and Kat look on in concern.]

Old Billy : Ohh, man, we had it for a second.
   Cestro : I'm afraid it isn't enough. The ageing process will
            continue at an accelerated rate.
   Zordon : Rangers, King Mondo's Cog-Changer is still loose, and
            we aren't certain what happened to Rita and Zedd's
            Impursinator.
    Tommy : [sighs] Without Billy, we're gonna need help.
   Zordon : We are receiving a transmission.

[Aurico appears on the Viewing Globe, standing against a blue Aquitian
 background. As he speaks, Kat and Tanya exchange smiles.]

Aurico : Rangers of Earth, it is Aurico. The remaining Rangers of
         Aquitar are standing by to offer assistance at the first
         sign of trouble.
Cestro : We will not leave you in your time of need.
Zordon : Rangers, I am picking up some abnormal readings in the Zeo
         Zord Holding Bay.

[The Viewing Globe shows a transparent diagram of the Zeo Megazord
 which then fills in with solid colour. A red circle flashes around
 its left leg.]

Old Billy : Look, th-there's something wrong in the Zeo Megazord.

[The circle continues to flash.]

Old Billy : Looks like a-a-a loose wire in the auxiliary sub-cockpit.
            I'd better go check it. [nudges Kat's right arm]
      Kat : [concerned] Should you be moving around so soon?
Old Billy : No, I think it's good for me.

[Old Billy walks past Tommy and Cestro. Tommy sighs again.]

[Cross to an exterior shot of the Zeo Zord Holding Bay, and then focus
 upon the Zeo Megazord standing inside. Its auxiliary sub-cockpit door
 opens, and Old Billy enters.]

[The room is small and murky, containing banks of electrical equipment
 and several monitors. Old Billy makes a couple of adjustments to the
 former and then sits down to examine the latter.]

Old Billy : Oh, these readings are all wrong. [presses buttons]

[Just then, the evil cog reappears inside the Megazord, causing the
 other cogs to activate. The Megazord starts to smash the Holding
 Bay support structures.]

[In the auxiliary sub-cockpit, Old Billy is startled by the sudden
 movement(Old Billy : What the-?). He quickly dons a headset.]

Old Billy : [to headset] Mayday! Rangers! Mayday!

[Inside the Power Chamber, the eight Rangers hear his distress call
 and approach Alpha.]

Tommy : What's going on?
Alpha : The Zeo Megazord has been sabotaged! And Billy can't transfer
        to the main cockpit to stop it!

[The Zeo Megazord continues smashing up the Holding Bay. Old Billy
 braces himself ... as the Megazord takes off into the air. Kat sees
 him on the Viewing Globe.]

Kat : Billy!

[The Zeo Megazord continues to rise. A hatch at the top of the Holding
 Bay opens, and the sabotaged robot soars away, taking Old Billy with
 it.]

Alpha : [head in hands, most distressed] Ai-yi-yi! The Zeo Megazord
        has left the Holding Bay! Ohh ...

[TO BE CONTINUED.]
