The Zords show up and the Rangers teleport in. A mighty offensive is launched and eventually Serpent Spring is destroyed. There is much rejoicing.

Rocky: All right! We did it!
Adam: Yeah. Good work Billy. Damage reports show 2% damage to Zeo Zord III, 3% to Zeo Zord II, and 15% to Zeo Zord I. Zeo Zords IV and V, no damage.
Billy: Excellent work Adam, Rocky, and Tanya. But you Katherine! 15% damage! What the hell did you do to that Zord? And when you consider that the other Zords sustained minimal or no damage? What's wrong with you? (shakes head in disgust) Let's get back to the Power Chamber.

The Rangers teleport out. The Zords return to their storage places in the mountain.

Back at the Power Chamber:

Zordon: Well done, Rangers. While I do not like it, I must congratulate you Billy. Never before have we defeated a monster with so little damage to the Zords.
Billy: (sarcastic) Thanks, Oh Floating Head. You congratulations mean so much to me.
Zordon: (Sigh) I see you have not modified your attitude in any way. I am sorry to see that. Alpha, proceed.
Billy: I told you you can't do that, Zordon.
Zordon: Yes I can, Billy, and I must. You are too mentally unstable to remain in possession of the Power.
Billy: And when we first gave Tommy the Red Battle Zord, you're telling me he was mentally stable? Because of him, the Zord took out half the supports in the mountain and caused damage that took a week to fully repair.
Zordon: That was then, this is now. Tommy had good reasons for being unable to concentrate.
Billy: Well so do I. I've had enough of this. You can't take away my powers. Period.
Zordon: And why not? What have you done that makes that impossible?
Billy: I'm so glad you asked. You see, in essence what I did was integrate my life force, heartbeat, biorhythms, and brain wave pattern into the function of the Red Zeonizer. To put it in terms you can understand, the Red Zeonizer won't work unless I am the one using it. I am the only one who knows how it was done and no one can reverse it. I am the Red Zeo Ranger. And I always will be.
Zordon: This goes too far, Billy. I cannot believe you had the gall to this selfish. Alpha, run a scan to determine if his words are true.
Alpha: Oh goody! I get to run a scan!

Alpha picks up the scanner that is never more than a few feet away from him and starts to analyze Billy. Billy looks at him with a look of total disgust.

Billy: You might as well not bother. I'm telling the truth. You can't alter the facts here. Now turn off that scanner before I turn you into a home entertainment center.
Alpha: Ay-yi-yi Zordon! It's true! Billy has taken absolute control of the Red Zeo Powers and there's nothing I can do to take them away from him!
Billy: I told you so.
Zordon: This is most distressing.
Billy: Distress this. (gives Zordon a one-fingered salute) Every time something happens whether it's the loss of our Zords to a new monster, it's "most distressing". I'm sick of hearing those words. (pulls out a weird gun type thing) And I'm sick of you! How'd you like to spend the rest of your life in a fish bowl instead of a water cooler? Or how about a swimming pool? Or maybe you'd like to see what the next life is like? Now just back off!
Adam: Aren't you getting just a little excited Billy?
Billy: Not at all. But I'm getting sick of having to run off every day and defeat some lousy monster. I say we go straight to the source. As soon as the Zords are repaired, which will take about an hour thanks to Katherine...

This merits a look from Kat which could have melted stone

Billy: ...we're going to take the MegaZord and go kick King Mondo's ass. And then I can take some time out to work on my interdimensional transporter.
Rocky: All right!

Everyone looks at him strangely.

Rocky: Er..um..I mean, that's great idea. We've never taken the fight to the enemy before. We've always waited until a monster came down, but we've never actually fought them! I think we can take 'em out if we attack the moonbase.
Billy: Exactly my plan. Well you're with me, Rocky. What about you Adam, Tanya?
Adam: It's just that we've never done that before. But you're right, it's a very good idea. Count me in.
Tanya: I agree with Adam. (looks at Adam) Besides, even if I didn't, I'd never let you go off and face danger like that without me.

Adam turns a deep shade of purple.

Kat: This is absurd! The reason we never took the fight to the Moon was because we're defenders, not attackers!
Billy: Wrong! We've never attacked the Moon before because weakling cowards like Tommy were in charge! But that's changed now. We're going to the moon in three hours, like it or not, bitch.
Kat: I don't like it! And I'm not going!
Zordon: Katherine, I'm afraid you are. Billy's suggestion, while not the most rational in the world, has merit. If he, as team leader, decides that this is what shall be done, and the rest of the team agrees with him, then I have no choice other than to order you to go along.
Kat: But they can't form the MegaZord without me, and I won't participate in this mad adventure!
Billy: That's where you're wrong, bitch. The Sphynx Zord pulls your Zord along. Zeo Zord I doesn't go anywhere on it's own. And I can easily patch into the computer and convince it that the Zeonizer Crystal is in place and it's all right to initiate the MegaZord sequence. Come with us or not, it doesn't matter to me. But we are going to Mondo's palace and we are going to destroy him. Now's your chance to share in the glory. Take it or leave it.

Kat spits in his face.

Kat: I'll leave it!

Billy wipes the spittle off his face with a smile.

Billy: I'm going to make you regret you did that, Bitch.

Billy grabs Kat's arm and drags her into an antechamber, closing the door behind him. Even though the room was supposedly soundproof, muffled screams of "Bastard", "Arsehole", "Psychopath", and "Twisted Fruitcake" can be heard. The Rangers, Zordon, and Alpha just stand there in shocked amazement. After five minutes, the door opens and Kat stumbles out. She falls to the floor in front of Tanya and Adam. Alpha walks over and turns her over. Rocky gasps involuntarily. Kat's face is swollen almost beyond recognition. Her eyes are puffy and black. Her lips are split open and bleeding. Blood trickles from her nose which is angled sharply, mutely speaking that it is broken. There are strangle marks on her neck and when she opened her mouth, they could see that one of her teeth was broken. Billy strolls out nonchalantly. His face is marred by a set of five fresh claw marks.

Billy: She's coming with us. Now I have to go repair her Zord. It won't take long. Hasta luego.
Rocky: Huh?
Billy: Hasta luego. It means see you when I see you. Sort of.
Rocky: Oh. (looks at Kat) Do you want some help?
Billy: (looks at Rocky for a second, assessing his thoughts) Sure. C'mon.

They teleport out in beams of maroon and blue.

Zordon: (sadly) Is this what comes of one mistake? What have we done? What have we done?
Adam: Let's get Kat on a table or something.

They pick Kat up and dump her unceremoniously on a table. Alpha runs a scan without being asked.

Alpha: (subdued) It's nothing too serious. She has two black eyes, lips split in three places, a broken nose, a chipped tooth, and some bruises on her neck. Otherwise, she's fine. I'll be able to treat those injuries here.

Alpha opens the med-kit and pulls out a laser. With the utmost precision, he drains the blood out of her bruises. With a weird device that has no name, he straightens her nose and bandages it. He spreads some lip balm on her split lips and then presses some artificial tooth material onto the broken tooth. Within a few minutes, the bruises are barely visible, the split lip has healed, and the tooth is as good as new.

Alpha: She'll be all right. The nose might be painful for a few days, but the ointment I used on it will rapidly accelerate the healing process. Her eyes will still be puffy, but at least they're not black anymore.
Tanya: Excuse me?!
Alpha: I mean at least they won't be the color of a bruise.
Tanya: Oh.
Billy: (from communicator) All's set. The damage was mostly to the hull. Once we get this last piece in, we'll be set to go.
Adam: Okay, Billy. We're going to go through with this.
Billy: Thanks Adam. I really mean that. (ends transmission)
Adam: Well, I'm going to get something to eat. Shall we, Tanya?
Tanya: Why not. Let's go.

Adam and Tanya teleport out in beams of green and yellow.

Alpha: Ay-yi-yi Zordon. What have we done?
Zordon: I don't know my friend. but I do know that if they go, they will succeed. I have confidence in Billy's ability, at least, to see victory won. But when they defeat King Mondo, we'll be out of a job.

At the hospital:
Tommy moans in pain, trying in vain to remember what happened to him. He'd gone to sleep, and for some reason, woke up in all this pain. He moans again, and is startled as someone speaks from the doorway.

Someone: Oh, please, it's not that bad.
Tommy: Billy! What are you doing here?
Billy: Relax. (steps into the room, hiding something behind his back) I just wanted to give you something.
Tommy: (suddenly frightened) What?
Billy: (Slowly removes his hands from behind his back) Just... these. (It's a small bouquet of daisies.) Shall I put them in water?
Tommy: What the hell--?
Billy: We just kicked the crap out of one of Mondo's monsters, so I'm in a rare good mood. You would be surprised how much easier it is to win when I'm in charge.
Tommy: You... you fought a battle already?
Billy: Zordon was most impressed with my abilities, Tommy. I don't think you'll be getting these powers back anytime soon. If ever.
Tommy: But... he can't....
Billy: Yes, he can. You've exhibited horrible behavior, and you've got the bruises to prove it.
Tommy: What are you talking--?
Billy: (shakes head) tsk, tsk, tsk. She must have hit you harder than we thought.
Tommy: She--?
Billy: That nurse you were screwing.
Tommy: Nurse?! I was--?
Billy: Must not have been a very good lay if you can't remember. I'm sure Kimberly was much better.
Tommy: Why, you--
Billy: I think she got fired.
Tommy: Kimberly?
Billy: No, you nitwit, the nurse. It's a good thing too. How can you recover if you keep getting all these new injuries? (Steps forward and gently caresses Tommy's face.)
Tommy: (flinches back) Don't touch me!
Billy: (smirking at him) Poor Tommy gots a boo-boo. Want Daddy to kiss it?
Tommy: Get away!
Billy: (leans down as if to kiss Tommy's cheek, instead hisses in his ear) You're through, Tommy Oliver. Your days as a ranger are over. Get used to it. (stands straight again, smiling at Tommy mock-sympathetically. Coos at him) Does that feel better?
Tommy: (teeth clenched) Get. Out. Right. Now.
Billy: tsk tsk tsk So bad tempered, Tommy. Don't make Daddy have to spank you. (grins maniacally at him and walks out)
Tommy: (starting to cry) Oh my God, no.

Power Chamber
Katherine is lying on the table, crying a little.

Rocky: Hey, Kat, come on, it's not that bad. Alpha fixed you all up.
Kat: You don't even care. You just let him do this to me.
Rocky: We didn't know what he was going to do. Besides, you were pretty rude to him.
Kat: You're all insane. All of you.
Rocky: We're not insane. Billy is, but it works for him. You saw how well he fought. And now this new offensive against the Machine Empire? I think I might like him better this way!

Billy teleports in.

Billy: Why, thank you Rocky. I'm glad you approve.
Rocky: (sheepishly) Oh, hi, Billy.
Billy: Hello. Salutations, Katherine.
Kat: (dully) I await your orders, Billy.
Billy: Are you feeling better?
Kat: Yes Billy.
Billy: Good. When it's time to go, will you be ready?
Kat: Yes Billy.
Billy: You learn quickly. I'm surprised. (smirks at her) Go to see Tommy in the hospital. He could use some cheering up. Maybe do a little striptease for him. He'll like that.
Kat: Yes Billy. (sits up painfully and teleports out.)
Rocky: (stares at Billy in awe) Wow!
Billy: You gotta train 'em, eh stud? She's much easier to handle this way.
Rocky: I'll say.

Adam and Tanya teleport in, holding hands.

Tanya: That was great, Adam, thanks. (kisses him on the mouth)
Adam: (blushes) Um... you're welcome. Anytime.
Billy: (begins to clap) Well, it's about time you two finally got it together.
Rocky: Woo-hoo, Adam! Way to go!
Tanya: Oh, stop it.
Billy: I've been preparing our plan of attack for our offensive against Mondo and Machina. When Kat returns, I'll explain everything, and we leave for the moonbase at 2400 hours.
Tanya: What?
Rocky: At midnight.
Tanya: Oh.
Billy: Get some rest, rangers. This will be a hard fight.

Later, in the Power Chamber....

Alpha: But, Zordon, are you sure? It's so... cruel.
Zordon: Billy must not be allowed to defeat the Machine Empire. He does not deserve the Powers of the Red Zeo Ranger, and I will not be forced to condone his actions.
Alpha: But there will never be another Red Ranger.
Zordon: So it must be. I have made up my mind, Alpha. Billy must not leave the Moonbase alive.
Alpha: Oh, Ai-yi-yi!

At the hospital:
Tommy is lying on his bed crying softly. The door opens and shuts quietly. Tommy stops crying and tries to pull himself together to see who is there.

Tommy: Billy? Are you back?
Voice: No, Tommy. It's me.
Tommy: Kat! Thank God it's you and not that lunatic!

Kat steps into the light with her head down.

Kat: (dully) Do not speak so of the leader of the Power Rangers.
Tommy: What? I'm the leader of the Power Rangers, not that deranged fruitcake!
Kat: (dully) You're wrong. He's in charge. He always will be.
Tommy: Oh no! He got to you too!
Kat: (dully) No he didn't. He ordered me to come here and cheer you up, so I came.
Tommy: (bitterly) So you follow his orders now, huh?
Kat: (dully) He showed me the folly of my wayward nature. (She lifts her face)
Tommy: (Gasp) What did he do to you! That sick bastard! That homicidal lunatic! That deranged yo-yo! That twisted fruitcake! That ironically gifted chowderhead!
Kat: Stop! If he hears you, he'll come here and hurt you again. And he'll probably hurt me too, and make you watch while he does it.

Tommy thinks for a minute and realizes she's right.

Tommy: (muttered) Who the hell does he think he is anyway?
Kat: He is Billy. That is all we need to know.
Tommy: Stop it Kat! You're scaring me to death with that subdued act. Stop it!
Kat: I wish I were acting. I tried to resist his orders. I yelled at him, insulted him, spat in his face, and hit him. Then he grabbed my arm and dragged me into a room and beat me. He was calm and methodical about it. He tied me to the wall and hit me in the face. He kept hitting me and hitting me until I cried. I was yelling at him the whole time and that just made him hit me harder. (pause) When he felt my face was beaten badly enough, he put his hands around my neck and squeezed really hard, strangling me. The blood rushed in front of my eyes and I passed out. He slapped me across the face until I woke up, and.. and then he started hitting me again! All the time he was hitting me, he kept calling me names. "Bitch!", "Whore!", "Slut". He broke my nose, split open my lip in three different places. He gave me two black eyes and broke one of my teeth. And then he looked at his watch and said, "I'm sorry I don't have time to do a more complete job, but I have work to do." He untied me and shoved me out the door. I fell on the floor and I was so thankful at being free that I passed out again. Alpha told me that he healed what he could and covered up the rest. (pause) He broke me Tommy. We faced off and he won.
As Kat is telling her story, Tommy is getting red in the face and you can almost see steam coming out of his ears.

Tommy: That bastard! I'll kill him! I'll kill him with my own two hands! (Kat claps a hand over his mouth) Ow!
Kat: Shhh! He might be listening or watching as we speak. Stop it, please!
Tommy: Mmrph blrf alih goh sgjd sj aesj jtersa!
Kat: Do you promise to be quiet?
Tommy: Mmrph!
Kat: Okay.

Kat takes her hand away.

Tommy: I don't believe him. He did that to you and a few minutes ago he brought me flowers to "help me get better". He told me why I have all these new bruises. He said I put the moves on a nurse who came in here and she beat me up. I don't remember that. But he says she got fired.
Kat: And you believe him! Stupid, stupid Tommy!
Tommy: I thought you came by to cheer me up.
Kat: (dully, remembering) Oh yeah.

She moves to stand at the foot of Tommy's bed. With slow movements she unbuttons her blouse and starts to slither out of it.

Tommy: (under his breath) Great! Just great! She's stripping in front of me and I can't get out of this bed!!

Kat pulls off her blouse and begins to remove the rest of her clothing.... Suffice it to say, Kat does a striptease for him and gets a decent reaction. And it truly is only a tease because he can't get out of his bed and she doesn't want to do it in a hospital. When she's done and Tommy is groaning in agony, Kat's communicator beeps.

Kat: Yes?
Billy: Go back home and get some rest. We're leaving for the moon at 2400 hours. I want you in the Power Chamber by 2350, is that understood?
Kat: Yes, Billy.
Billy: Good. See you at 2350.

Wordlessly, Kat picks up her clothes and pushes a button on her communicator. She vanishes in a beam of Pink, leaving Tommy groaning into his pillow and then he starts as he recalls Billy's words: "We're leaving for the moon at 2400 hours."

Tommy: Good God! They're going to attack Mondo tonight!

Tommy realizes that if Billy succeeds, then there will be no doubt that despite Billy's recent attitude problem, he is a capable leader and Zordon will let him keep the Red Zeo Powers. With this realization, Tommy rolls over and cries himself to sleep in his pillow.

The Power Chamber...
Alpha is pacing back and forth across the Power Chamber irritably. Zordon watches him wordlessly.

Alpha: Oh, Ai-yi-yi. Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi! Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi!
Zordon: Alpha, please calm yourself.
Alpha: How can I calm myself, Zordon? You're plotting to... Ai-yi-yi!
Zordon: It is our only choice, Alpha, you know that.
Alpha: I don't know anything. Ai-yi-yi. It just doesn't seem right. Ai-yi-yi. Poor Billy!
Zordon: Wrong, Alpha. Poor Tommy. Poor Katherine. You saw that pitiful display at the hospital. You saw how broken she is. And Tommy cannot stop crying. Now is not the time to be concerned about Billy.
Alpha: But... but... I like Billy! Ai-yi-yi!
Zordon: I'm afraid the matter is closed, Alpha. Can I count on your support?
Alpha: (pause) I am programmed to be your assistant, and that means unwavering obedience. But it doesn't mean I have to like it. I will never support this, Zordon.
Zordon: I understand Alpha. Prepare the computer systems to hack into the Red Battle Zord.

Billy's Lab...
Billy is preparing to teleport to the Power Chamber for the midnight mission. Rocky and Tanya are standing silently by his side, watching him nervously as he mutters to himself.

Billy: Little slut I can't believe she actually did it and he liked it the bastard didn't even think of Kim or anything (etc. etc. etc.)
Adam: Um... Shouldn't we be going now?
Billy: Shut up.
Rocky: Don't yell at Adam, Billy, he didn't mean it.
Billy: Shut up.
Tanya: We'll be quiet, Billy I know you need to think.
Billy: So be quiet!
Adam, Rocky, & Tanya: Sorry!
Voice in Billy's head: Incompetents, Billy, you're working with nincompoops. Nincompoops with iron boots. Boof! BOOT TO THE HEAD!
Billy: (practically whining) Now don't start that again!
Adam: I didn't say anything!
Billy: (snappishly) All right! It's 2345. Prepare to teleport.

Power Chamber...
Kat teleports in, looking around fearfully for Billy. When she doesn't see him, she relaxes, slumping up against one of the control panels.

Kat: Thank God.
Zordon: Yes, Katherine, Billy has not yet arrived.
Kat: How can you let him do this? How?
Zordon: Do not worry, Katherine. Billy will not be... in control... for long.
Kat: What? What do you mean?

Billy and the others teleport in. Kat suddenly stands straight as an iron rod.

Billy: (with disgust) Oh, hello, Katherine.
Kat: (trembling) Hello.
Billy: Hello, WHAT?!
Kat: BILLY! HELLO, BILLY!!!! (shrinks back, expecting to be slapped.)
Billy: (curls his lip at her) That's better. Hello, water cooler-man.
Zordon: Billy, I told you not to make fun of my--
Billy: And Alpha, my friend. Are you feeling well-oiled today?
Alpha: (softly) Oh, Ai-yi-yi!
Billy: You're so cute when you say that. Cut it out.
Alpha: Oh.... (begins to make a noise that sounds vaguely like sobbing) Hehhh hehhh hehhh....
Billy: Oooooookay. We leave at 2400 hours. That's ten minutes. We'll take out the quadrafighters using our individual Zords, taking care not to TOTAL THEM! (he sneers the last bit loudly at Kat. She flinches. He continues calmly.) Then we'll form the Zeo MegaZord, allowing me to call in the Red Battle Zord for the final offensive. All right?
Adam, Rocky, & Tanya: Right.
Billy: (flinches, rolls eyes.) Katherine?
Kat: Yes, Billy, I understand.
Zordon: I hope you realize what you are planning, Billy. The Moon Base is not without heavy defenses.
Billy: I know that, Zordon. But you know what? Huh? You know what? NOOOOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!!!!

Everyone flinches as he screams this last bit in a slightly British voice. Billy grins maniacally.

Billy: It's time to go kick some mechanical ass. Ready, Rangers? (they nod) It's Morphin' Time!
Kat: Zeo Ranger I : Pink!
Tanya: Zeo Ranger II : Yellow!
Rocky: Zeo Ranger III : Blue!
Adam: Zeo Ranger IV : Green!
Billy: Zeo Ranger V : Red!

The five streaks of pink, yellow, blue, green, and maroon flash towards the ceiling. They exit through the chimney-type thing of the Power Chamber and head to the moon. After a few minutes, the trip starts to get really boring. It's quite a ways to the moon, Tanya thinks. No scenery, just a lot of emptiness. And then they see the moon, hanging majestically in space. Billy's voice comes over the comm channel.

Billy: There it is, Rangers. Get ready to rumble.

After another minute, they land.

Billy: Okay Rangers. Are you set?
Rangers: Set.
Billy: We need Zeo Zord Power, now!

The Zords (which have somehow made their way to the moon) appear and the Rangers teleport in.

Billy: Rangers, log on.
Adam: Zeo Zord IV, online and fully operational.
Tanya: Zeo Zord II, ready to kick some butt.
Rocky: Zeo Zord III, charged and ready.
Kat: Zeo Zord I, let's rock.
Billy: Zeo Zord V, flying high. According to sensors, the Moonbase is to the east. Let's go.

They take off towards the east.

In the Moonbase...
Alarms are going off and droids are running around trying to get out of Mondo's way.

Mondo: What's going on?!
Klank: It appears that the Power Rangers have teleported up to the moon and are launching an attack against us!
Mondo: (with sparks coming out of his ears) What!!! That is impossible!! Scramble the Quadrafighters! Destroy them!
Klank: Ay, right away, your Majesty!
Sprocket: Hey Dad! Why don't we send a few monsters to help out the Quadrafighters!
Mondo: Excellent idea, Sprocket. Which ones do you recommend?
Sprocket: Well how about Accordion Face and Steel Bender?
Mondo: You heard the Prince, Klank. Tell those two monsters to get out there immediately.
Klank: Ay, your Majesty.

Back at the Zords:

Tanya: Ten Quadrafighters at two o'clock!
Rocky: What do we do till then?
Tanya: Shut up, Rocky.
Billy: Adam and Tanya, I see Ten more Quadrafighters at bearing two zero zero five three--
Tanya: Where?
Billy: Ten o'clock.
Tanya: Oh.
Billy: Rocky and Katherine, you guys handle those Quadrafighters. Adam and Tanya, handle those ones Tanya spotted. I'm gonna take those three in front of us. Everybody got it? Good, go!

The Zord formation brakes up and goes their separate ways, Billy flies straight ahead in the Phoenix Zord to take on the three Quadrafighters flying point. Adam and Tanya go towards the northeast to destroy the ten coming from that angle. Rocky and Kat head off towards the southeast to mix it up with the rest of them. When they get far enough away from the others, both Adam and Rocky disconnect the chains that towed Zeo Zords I and II, leaving them to stand in one position to be able to take better aim and to allow Zeo Zords III and IV to maneuver freely.
The battle rages fiercely. The Quadrafighters immediately recognize the sitting duck status of Zeo Zords I and II and target them for the most part. But they forget about Adam and Rocky who do an outstanding job of shooting down the Quadrafighters when they come flying in too low on their bombing runs. In a matter of minutes, all ten Quadrafighters in Adam and Tanya's area have been blown out of the sky. Rocky and Kat have half of them down, and Billy is engaging the leader of the point formation in a dogfight, with the other two crash-landed on the surface of the moon.

Kat: These damn Quadrafighters! They won't slow down so I can hit them!
Tanya: Hold on Kat, we're on our way.

Adam picks up Zeo Zord II and drags it towards Kat's position. With a few well-timed shots, the last of the Quadrafighters is shot down.

Tanya: There.
Rocky: Thanks guys, we were getting hammered.

With a loud explosion, Billy finally targets the leader of the Quadrafighters and blows him up.

Billy: There! We have succeeded in obtaining our beachhead. We've repelled their first assault. Let's press our advantage.
Adam: Right behind you Billy.
Billy: Let's go.

The Zords rumble forward with Billy flying low overhead.

Billy: Damage report.
Adam: 1% damage to Zeo Zords III and IV. They targeted Tanya and Kat for the most part. Most of ours is just minute stress fractures on the legs. Zeo Zord II sustained about 5% which is really low considering all the bombs they dropped on it. Mainly the outer shell. Hull integrity down to 98%. All weapons systems are fully operational.
Billy: (Intense) What about Zeo Zord I?
Adam: Err... Um... Well-
Billy: (sharply) What is it Adam? What happened?
Adam: Zeo Zord I has sustained 12% damage. The hull has been compromised in sections 24, 25, and 26 on levels 13, 14 and 15. Weapons systems are 96% operational and-
Billy: WHAT?! Kat! How the hell did you manage to do that much damage to your Zord in one short battle? You've just weakened the chances of the whole mission succeeding. We can't go on without full operation in the weapons systems. Adam, how much time estimated for repairs?
Adam: About five minutes to repair the weapons systems. A few wires burned out that's all. The hull damage is a bit more complicated. It has to be done carefully or it'll do more harm than good. It should take about fifteen minutes if you, me and Rocky all work on it in addition to the automated repair droids and the computer.
Billy: Shit! I hate to lose the time, but we can't go forward with that kind of damage. okay. Let's stop here. Tanya, can keep a lookout for any attack and the rest of us can work on repairs. The droids can handle the weapons system. Let's get down there and work on that hull breach.
Adam: Gotcha Billy. Teleporting down now.

Zeo Zord II set up in position, Adam disengages and goes down to examine the damage. Rocky teleports down to meet him and Billy lands the Phoenix Zord.

Billy: How the fuck does she do this? How the fuck does she do this every single time?!
Adam: Let's not worry about that now. Let's just get this done ASAP and get moving again.
Billy: You're right, of course. Okay, Rocky, start working over there. Adam, help me here. okay? Let's get to work.
Kat: (over the comm channel, in a quavering voice) Billy? Can I help?
Billy: No! You don't have a God-damned clue how to fix Zords! Just sit your pretty little tight ass in that cockpit and fantasize about Tommy while we fix your screw-up!
Kat: (subdued) Yes Billy.
Billy: (muttered) Stupid bitch...

The guys get to work. Within minutes, Billy and Adam are done with their section and move on to help Rocky. After a few more minutes, they are done.

Billy: All right. Everyone back to-
Tanya: Billy! Two monsters coming in from the south and the north. They're trying to hit us from either side!

As she finishes speaking, a missile launched from one of the monsters lands a few feet away from Tanya's Zord.

Billy: Scramble! Adam, run a check on Zeo Zord I and give me an update and then figure out which monster is tougher and go destroy it. Rocky, get back to your Zord and get Zeo Zord I out of here! I just fixed this fucking thing and I'm not about to let it get smashed!
Kat: But Bi-illy!
Billy: Shut up Katherine! You're to stay out of harm's way until those monsters are destroyed. Scramble everyone!

Adam and Tanya take off towards the south, Adam frantically running a scan on Zeo Zord I as he goes.

Adam: Billy! Report shows that weapons systems are online and fully functional. Hull integrity is up to 97% and the breach has been fully repaired in sections 24, 25, and 26 on levels 14 and 15. On level 13, the breach has been fixed in sections 24 and 26. Section 25 is still less than perfect, but it'll last until we can do better repairs.
Billy: Good job guys. Now let's kick some monster ass!

Adam and Tanya engage the monster in the south, Steel Bender. With a bellow, he charges at Adam. With a grunt, the Taurus Zord disconnects the chains and charges as well. The two meet with a resounding clang. One of Taurus' horns pierces the monster's leg and it falls howling to the ground. But Taurus doesn't stop. He keeps charging, running right over Steel Bender and grinding his hooves in the monster's face. When he tries to get up, Tanya fires all weapons at him and he falls down again. This time he doesn't move.

Adam: Running a scan, scan shows that his left leg has been shattered and he can't stand up. Also, he can't use his weapons if he's not standing up so he's out of action for a while. Let's go help Billy.
Tanya: Right!
Adam: Don't say that...!

To the north, Billy is having a difficult time with Accordion Face. He had not sustained any damage, but he can't get close enough to fire his weapons and he is starting to get a little pissed off.

Adam: Don't worry Billy, here comes the cavalry.
Billy: All right! Distract him would you? I'm going to see if I can launch a missile right in his face. If his optic sensors are destroyed, then he's helpless.
Adam: Gotcha!

Tanya fires the lasers at Accordion Face and he breaks off his attack on Billy to return fire.

Tanya: You're in the clear Billy. Go, go!

Billy doesn't respond but the double loop he performs indicates that he has heard. With a graceful swoop, they almost don't notice that he has fired the missiles until they explode in Accordion Face's stupid-looking accordion face.

Accordion Face: Aaah!! Ow! Aaaargh! Aaaahh!

Accordion Face falls to the ground screaming and holding his face. With a nonchalant dip, Billy launches two more missiles into the back of the monster's head. With a loud explosion, Accordion Face's head and a large part of his torso blow up, scattering metal everywhere.

Billy: There. Let's go finish off that other monster.
Adam: Right, I mean okay!

They lumber back to Steel Bender who has by this time managed to stand up. But he is not destined to remain standing. Almost casually, Adam charges again, taking Steel Bender's other leg out from under him. He falls to the ground and before he can scream, Billy fires phasers and launches photon torpedoes. With several loud explosions, the monster's entire body scatters in several directions.

Billy: Gather up some of the parts. We can use them to repair our Zords when they get damaged later. Rocky, get back here.
Rocky: On my way, Billy.
Billy: And I suppose you can bring the stupid bitch if you have to.

The Zords gather what were now spare parts and start forward again. They are heading towards the east. As the travel, the Earth begins to rise, mysterious and majestic from beyond the moon's horizon.

Adam: (awed) Would you look at that!
Rocky: (tearfully) It's beautiful!
Tanya: Oh stop it!
Rocky: (protesting) I wasn't being sarcastic! I really think it's beautiful!
Tanya: Sorry.
Billy: It's incredible, isn't it? Let this sight fill you, Rangers. Store it in your minds and let it instill a new sense of purpose. We are here to defend that planet. If we fail, that planet will die. And we dare not let it die. Remember the beauty of our home.
Kat: (muttered to herself, not over the comm) What do you care about beauty, you sick, twisted fuck?

On Earth, in the Power Chamber...
Alpha and Zordon are watching the Rangers in the Viewing Globe.

Alpha: I must admit they're doing excellently.
Zordon: Yes. Billy has always been an excellent leader. That is one of the reasons I chose him to be a Power Ranger. But now he leads for his own gain and his own purposes. He is no longer one of us. As sad as I am to do it, he must be destroyed.
Alpha: But he's so effective!
Zordon: Yes, because of him, the Rangers are doing well in the battle. Notice how he sent Katherine out of danger when the monsters showed up. Although he did not do it out of any concern for her person, it was a decision that Tommy would never have made. It kept her away from the battle and thus there was no damage to her Zord, giving the repair droids time to finish repairs to the hull.
Alpha: Yes.
Zordon: But as it is. Are you ready to hack the Red Battle Zord?
Alpha: Yes.
Zordon: Good. When they have destroyed Mondo and have separated the Zeo Mega Battle Zord, we will strike. He will be in the Zord and it will be safe for it to self-destruct. It will have served it's purpose anyway. There will never be another Red Ranger. As Billy is the one who built the Red Battle Zord and then modified it for his use, it will be of no use to us anyway except as scrap metal and building materials for a new Zord.
Alpha: A new Zord?
Zordon: Yes. Once Billy is dead, we shall recombine the Zeo Crystal and use it to create Power Coins once again. Coins are a much safer way to possess the Power. With them, we will be able to select a new Ranger. And this new Ranger shall lead the team. Having the Zeo sub-Crystals in the hands of the Rangers has proven too dangerous. Look at what Billy did, and he didn't even own one.
Alpha: You're right of course, but oh ai-yi-yi.
Zordon: I know Alpha, I know.

In the Moonbase:
Mondo is having numerous short circuits at once. He appears to have had a hard drive crash as he is effecting amnesia. Sprocket is balanced on the edge of the railing, ready to climb down a chain if the Rangers show up. Machina is ineffectually yelling orders that no one is listening to. Orbus is floating around trying to find a safe place to land. Klank rushes in having received a note.

Klank: Your highness, behold your humble servant, Klank. I have come to take- oh I'm terribly sorry!
Sprocket: You got my note!
Klank: Well I got, er... a note.
Sprocket: You've come to rescue me!
Klank: Ah well, no you see-
Sprocket: I knew someone would! I knew that somewhere out there, there must be someone- (musical fade-in)
Mondo: Stop that! Stop that! Stop it! Stop it! (music fades out) Who are you?
Sprocket: I'm your son!
Mondo: No, not you!
Klank: I'm Klank, your servant.
Sprocket: He's come to rescue me father!
Klank: Well let's not jump to conclusions.
Mondo: Did they destroy all those Quadrafighters?!!?!
Klank: Ahh...oh yes! Sorry.
Mondo: They cost fifty pounds each!
Klank: Well I'm awfully sorry, um, I really can't say anything-
Sprocket: Don't be afraid of him, Klank. I've got a chain all ready. (throws chain over railing and starts to climb down)
Mondo: They killed two monsters in all.
Klank: Well you see, the thing is, I thought your son was a lady-
Mondo: I can understand that.
Sprocket: Hurry, Klank, hurry!
Mondo: Shut up! They only killed my first wife's step-daughter's father, that's all.
Klank: Well I'm sure they didn't mean to.
Mondo: Didn't mean to? They shot their laser right through his head.
Klank: Oh dear, is he all right?
Mondo: They even kicked his sister in the chest, this is gonna cost me a fortune!
Klank: Well I can explain, I was in the forest riding north from Camelot, when I got this note-
Mondo: Camelot? Are you from Camelot?
Sprocket: (from over railing) Hurry Klank!
Klank: I am a knight of King Mondo.
Mondo: Very nice cattle, Camelot. Pretty good pig country.
Sprocket: Hurry, I'm ready!
Mondo: Would you like to go have a drink?
Klank: Well, that's awfully nice of you.
Sprocket: I'm ready!
Mondo: (cutting through the chain) Let's go.

There is a loud splooshing sound as Prince Herbert (Sprocket) hits the ground.

At the Zords:

Adam: There's the Moonbase straight ahead. Distance, twenty miles. ETA, ten minutes.
Billy: Excellent. Zord status?
Rocky: Zeo Zords III, IV, and V, 100% operational and ready to rock. Zeo Zord II, 100% repaired. Zeo Zord I, 100% repaired, but the droids can't finish the 1% damage still left on the hull. We'll be able to proceed with the battle plan without and worries.
Billy: Excellent! Current ETA five minutes. Prepare to launch MegaZord sequence.
Rangers: Right!
Billy: (wincing) Oookay!

The Zords rumble closer to the Moonbase where klaxons are going off and robots are scrambling around trying to set up the defenses.

Billy: We're there! Activate Zeonizer Crystals!
Kat: Zeo Zord I, activate!
Tanya: Zeo Zord II, activate!
Rocky: Zeo Zord III, activate!
Adam: Zeo Zord IV, activate!
Billy: Zeo Zord V, activate!

The Rangers place the crystals in their sockets and the Zords begin their transformation. (You all know what it looks like, so I'm not going to describe it.)

Billy: Okay, Rangers, here goes!

The MegaZord swings its fist and crashes it into the side of a tower. The tower collapses and the MegaZord picks up the broken off end to use as a club. The MegaZord (MZ) swings its club into everything. Soon a path of twisted scrap metal lies in the wake of the MZ as it makes its way towards Mondo's palace.

Billy: Adam, I'm going to bring out the Red Battle Zord. You're in charge. Keep heading forward and wait for me at the front.
Adam: I hear you, Billy. Good luck!
Billy: Hi-aaaaaaaaaah!

Billy leaps out of the MZ and lands on the ground.

Billy: I need Red Battle Zord Power, right now!

The cannon shoots the Battle Zord to the moon and Billy teleports in.

Billy: Okay, ready to kick ass!

Power Chamber:
Zordon and Alpha are watching the Rangers/Billy intensely.

Zordon: There it is, Alpha. Make ready to hack the Battle Zord.

On the moon:

Billy: Okay, Rangers, let's get it together!

The Red Battle Zord and the Zeo MegaZord stand back to back. (I haven't seen the sequence so I'm making this up) The Battle Zord's arms move up and flip over the shoulders of the MegaZord. They lock together and Billy slides into the MegaBattleZord's cockpit.

Billy: Arm all weapons.
Tanya & Kat: Right!
Billy: (winces) Okay. Patch me through to Mondo.
Adam: On screen.

Mondo's visage appears on the view screen and a communications link is established.

Mondo: Greetings Power Rangers. To what do I owe the honor of this visit?
Billy: We're here to destroy you, Mondo.
Mondo: (laughs) Hahah! You think to destroy me, the mightiest villain in the universe? Me, the King of the Machine Empire? You are fools! Leave now and I shall graciously let you live which is more than you deserve given the damage you've caused.
Billy: (laughs) Hahahah! You're most amusing, Mondo. I think I might miss you when you're gone. (thinks for a minute) No, now that I think about it, I won't. Prepare to die, Mondo.

Adam cuts the communications link and the Rangers await Billy's orders.

Billy: Grab onto the balcony. Lock all weapons on Mondo, Machina, Sprocket, Klank, and especially that annoying ping-pong ball Orbus. Ready...wait for it! Ready...FIRE!!!!

At his command, Tanya and Kat, Adam and Rocky punch a bunch of buttons and the balcony glows red with the heat generated by all the weapons-fire. Within a few minutes, there is nothing alive on the balcony. All is turned to scrap metal. In the cockpit of the Mega BattleZord, there is much rejoicing.

Tanya: We did it!!!
Rocky: Yeah!!
Adam: Woo-hoo!!
Kat: Yes!!!
Billy: Kickin' ass!

The celebrating goes on for some time. While the Rangers celebrate, the Machine Empire's fleet slowly collapses around them: All the ships crash and burn, there is much confusion and finally the big floating platforms disappear into hyperspace, destination unknown. When the Rangers calm down and realize it's time to go back home and tell the good news to the people of Angel Grove, Billy makes an announcement.

Billy: Good job Rangers. Now let's head home and celebrate in style. I'll see you back on Earth. Use Zeo Helmet IV to take the MegaZord home. I'll take the Red Battle Zord. Hasta luego.
Tanya: Huh? Hey, I heard that one before. It means....see you when I see you!
Rocky: That's right.

The Mega BattleZord disengages and Adam takes over in the cockpit. Zeo Helmet IV comes down and the MZ flies off towards home. Billy stays a minute to look around at what he's done.

Billy: Wow. The Power Rangers can seriously kick ass when they want to. I'm glad they finally pulled together in the end. There were no complaints, no protests, and most important, no discussion of Tommy!

A flashing light and a beeping noise recall his attention.

Billy: What's that? (sharply) The self-destruct? How did that get activated? Computer, initiate search for hacking.

The results come back. A grim smile settles over Billy's face.

Billy: So that's how you want to play it, eh Zordon? Well, I can play that game too. Computer, execute sub-routine three zero five nine seven six one.

The computer executes the desired sub-routine. The beeping stops and the lights stops flashing. Billy smiles.

Billy: Heheheh. And now to take care of business.

Power Chamber:
Alpha is running around in dismay.

Alpha: Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi, Zordon! Billy counter-acted my hacking! He's on his way back and he's going to be really mad! I don't want to be a toaster! Ai-yi-yi!
Zordon: There is nothing to fear, Alpha. We shall be fine. No matter how far he's gone, I don't believe that he will harm us in any way.
Alpha: Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi!

The Rangers, sans Billy, teleport into the Power Chamber.

Adam: Zordon, we did it! The Machine Empire is now officially scrap metal!
Rocky: It was awesome! We blew up the quadrafighters, and then we blew up some monsters, and then we blew up the whole friggin' PLACE!
Tanya: Rocky, calm down!
Rocky: I CAN'T!!!! I AM SOOOO JAZZED!!
Adam: (suddenly realizes Zordon and Alpha aren't celebrating with them) What's wrong, Zordon?

Billy teleports in, and whips off his helmet. He's pissed.

Billy: I'll tell you what's wrong. (glares up at Zordon) They tried to kill me!
Adam: (the blood drains from his face and he speaks in a small voice) What?
Billy: Would you like to tell them, Zordon? How you hacked into the Red Battle Zord's computers and initiated the self-destruct sequence? Well, guess what?! DING DONG, THE WITCH AIN'T DEAD!!!!
Rocky: What?!
Alpha: Oh, Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi!
Billy: (Imitates him) Ai-yi-yi! Ai-yi-yi! JUST SHUT UP!!
Tanya: Billy, calm down, please....
Billy: NO, I WILL NOT CALM DOWN!!! THAT... THAT GIANT FLOATING FRIGGIN' HEAD IN A FRIGGIN' WATER COOLER JUST TRIED TO FRIGGIN' KILL ME AND YOU WANT ME TO CALM DOWN!!!
Adam: (Steps forward) Billy, you're hysterical. I....
Billy: YOU SLAP ME AGAIN YOU LOSE A TESTICLE, GOT IT?!
Adam: (crosses his legs protectively and steps back) Got it.
Billy: You've really gone too far, Zordon. I knew you were a self-righteous, egotistical, stupid son of a space-bitch, but this time you've gone waaaay too far. And Alpha? Ooooh, the things I'm going to do to you. A toaster is too good for you. A mailbox? No, not near cruel enough. I'm thinking... a talking scale at a FAT CAMP!!! HOW'S THAT SOUND, EH, MY LITTLE BUCKETHEAD FRIEND?! Or should I say ex-friend, considering you were plotting my death. Let's send Billy into space and blow him up and we'll never have to deal with him again. Ooooh, you've done it now. I thought I was mad before, but now? Wooooo, the sky is the limit. TO DA MOON, BABY, TO DA MOON!!!!!
Tanya: Oh my God, let's get out of here.
Billy: Oh, no, Tanya, darling, the fun is just beginning. Stick around, have a peanut. Have a few peanuts cause it's gonna be a looong night. Oh, baby, let's get it on!
Adam: (still protecting his crotch) Look, Billy, maybe you should slow down and think for a minute. Maybe--
Billy: THINK ABOUT THIS, FROG-FACE!

He grabs Adam and throws him across the Power Chamber. He slams into the glass case holding the old black Power Ranger uniform; it shatters and Adam lies still among the glass.

Tanya: Oh, my God, Adam! (runs to him, gathers him into her arms)
Billy: (sneering) Oh yeah, who's next? Huh? (beckons to Rocky) Let's go, monkey-boy, right here. (gestures to his chest)
Rocky: Hey, Billy, I... (steps back, scared) We didn't have anything to do with this, I swear! I didn't know! None of us did!
Billy: Liar. (advancing slowly, carefully)
Zordon: Rocky is telling the truth, Billy. The Rangers are blameless in this matter. Do not hurt them.
Billy: AND I'M SUPPOSED TO LISTEN TO YOU?! OH HELL NO, NEVER AGAIN, YOU HEAR ME? NEVER AGAIN!
Rocky: Please, Billy, don't! (backs himself into a corner) I don't want you dead, I swear! I like you this way! Just not when you're trying to kill me. I swear, I swear, I swear... (holds hand up in front of him, palms facing Billy, as a gesture of surrender)
Kat: Billy, stop!
Billy: What did you say, Bitch?
Kat: Oh no. Nothing! I didn't say anything!
Billy: I was sure I heard you ordering me around. Didn't you hear that, Rocky?
Rocky: (nodding furiously) Yes, that's what I heard. Yup, for sure.
Kat: Raw-kee! What are you say-ying!!!
Rocky: Sorry, Kat, every man for himself, as they say. (scurries away and joins Tanya on the floor with Adam)
Billy: Hee hee, you thought it was bad last time? That was NOTHING! I'm gonna--
Zordon: You're not going to do anything. Alpha, encase Billy in a forcefield immediately.
Alpha: Right away, Zordon. (waddles to one of the control panels as fast as he can)
Billy: Oh, no you don't ya little shit. (takes out his Zeo Blaster and blows up the control panel, narrowly missing Alpha)
Alpha: Aaaahh! Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi!! Zordon!
Billy: Zordon can't help you now, Alpha. Get down on your little aluminum knees and beg me for mercy.

While his attention is turned away, Kat runs up behind him and shoves him. He falls on top of his Zeo Blaster and it goes off. He cries out in pain.

Billy: Owww! You stupid, ugly ass Bitch!! That HURT!! (stands up, there's a hole burnt in the front of his uniform, the skin beneath is burnt, twisted and blackened.) You're gonna pay for that....
Kat: (backs away) No. Oh my God, no. Please!
Billy: (levels his blaster at her, just as he shoots she teleports away in a flash of pink) Dammit! (A forcefield suddenly appears around him) No! Zordon let me go, or I swear I'll--
Zordon: Alpha, prepare an electrical charge of one million volts.
Billy: WHAT?! Why you...
Alpha: Zordon, we can't! That much electricity would... (his voice trails off)
Rocky: Zordon, what are you saying?
Tanya: Don't do this, please!
Zordon: You see what he has done to Tommy and Katherine, and now to Adam. He is dangerous, Rangers, and he must be stopped.
Billy: You can't do this to me! I'll... (he slams his body against the forcefield, trying to break free, but merely bounces off, sending sparks showering all over his body)
Zordon: You'll do nothing. Alpha, set the charge.
Adam: (moans slightly) Zordon, don't....
Tanya: Adam, lie still! Don't try to move, you'll hurt yourself.
Adam: Don't let him... Zordon, you can't....
Zordon: Alpha?
Alpha: (sadly, defeated) Setting charge of one million volts.
Billy: (quickly begins making adjustments to his Zeo Blaster) When I get outta here, you're toast Zordon, you hear me? Toast!
Zordon: Prepare for electrocution.
Alpha: Preparing all systems now.
Rocky: I can't watch this.
Tanya: Zordon...? I can't believe--
Zordon: Electrocution. Now!
Alpha: Oh, ai-yi-yi! (pulls the switch)

The forcefield fills with a brilliant white light. This light turns red as the electricity penetrates the Red Ranger's body.

Billy: (screams in intense pain) Noooo!
Tanya: Billy!
Adam: I'm gonna throw up.
Rocky: (screams as in intense pain) Aaaahh!
Alpha: Oh, Ai-yi-yi!

The screams stop, the control panel erupts in sparks, all of the lights in the Power Chamber flicker off. There is dead silence. The forcefield is still obscured by red fog.

Adam: (In a choked voice) My God, Zordon. What have you done?
Zordon: What I had to do.
Adam: Did it have to go this far? And you don't think we don't care? And how are we going to function now, knowing that if we piss you off that you'll electrocute us?! I don't want to have to go on like that! Why?!

As they talk, the red fog is slowly dissipating. The forcefield shimmers and is no more.

Rocky: Even if he was insane, did you have to kill him?

The fog takes on a purplish tinge.

Zordon: Yes, Rocky. When he was still alive, there was no way we could take his Zeo sub-Crystal. Now that he is dead, we can take it and use the whole Zeo Crystal to create Power Coins and restore the Morphin' Grid. Having the Zeo sub-Crystals directly in the hands of the Rangers has proven to be too much responsibility for some of them to handle. It will be safer this way.

The fog has become almost entirely blue, with no red remaining.

Tanya: So... so this was all about stealing the Zeo sub-Crystal?
Zordon: I'm afraid so.
Voice: You'd better be afraid, you ironically gifted chowderhead, cause I'm going to make you pay for doing that to me.
Rangers: Billy!
Billy: (stepping out of the fog) Yes! I'm not dead! You should plan your experiments a little more carefully.
Adam: But I! But he! But you! Who..wha'...where...huh?!
Billy: Hmmm let's see. That leaves out why and when, doesn't it? Okay, the what. I am not dead. How, I modified the Zeo Blaster to channel to electricity directly into Zeo sub-Crystals III and V. Why, the electricity caused the color Essences of the two sub-Crystals to be exchanged. I am now Zeo Ranger V: Blue, as is proper. I told you how it was the Blue Ranger who was destined to be the leader as Zeo Ranger V. The two color Essences were switched in the same way, many eons ago. And now Rocky, you are Zeo Ranger III: Red. Looks like you can dig out that old wardrobe, eh? When, a few minutes ago and where, right over there. Another what, mine and Rocky's screams. There was a tremendous overload of the human capacity to sense and obtain data and extrapolate it.

Billy sees the others looking at him in confusion.

Billy: (Sigh) It blew our minds. But all is well now. The Power Rangers will go on... minus a certain interfering giant floating head!

Billy turns and moves to a control panel.

Billy: (pushing buttons) I think you'll hate it where I'm going to send you, Zordon. I think you're going to curse my name for the rest of your unnatural existence. (a small container appears in the center of the floor) I hope you empathize with Rita. You're going to spend the rest of eternity in a dumpster. Buh-bye! (pushes a final button).

Zordon flickers and disappears from his time warp and his visage appears in the dumpster.

Zordon: (In a high squeaky voice) You won't get away with this Red, er... Blue Ranger! I'll return!

Billy picks up the cover and slams it shut without further ceremony.

Billy: There! All nice and cozy in there Z? (there are muffled noises) Good. We're just going to set you up on a shelf someplace and forget about you.
Adam: (still dazed) Billy!!! You're alive!! And you're ok!
Billy: (looking at Adam and determining his mental state) Yes Adam, I am. (to all) I want to apologize for that ugly scene a few minutes ago. Adam, I'm sorry I insulted your spirit animal. The Frog is everything Ninjor said it was. Rocky, the Ape is a mighty and fierce opponent and is one worthy of you. Tanya, sorry for whatever. (pauses) But Kat is another story. I have to deal with her. Go home and rest Rangers. Or get together and party. After all, it's not every day that we defeat the Machine Empire. (pauses) I'm extremely proud of all of you. (sniffs) You have far exceeded the requirements of being a Power Ranger. (suddenly all business again) Now let's get out of here.
Alpha: But Billy-
Billy: Oh yes, I'd forgotten about you. Silly me. So what will it be, eh? A mailbox, a home entertainment center, a trash can, or a talking scale at a fat camp?
Alpha: Please Billy! I am programmed to obey Zordon. I could not do otherwise! I didn't want to!
Billy: (considering) All right. Let's take care of that. (flips open a panel on Alpha's back, tweaks a few wires and pushes a few buttons) There. All set.
Alpha: Thank you, Billy! Thank you for not making me go to fat camp!!
Billy: (shrugs it off) It was no big deal. I kinda figured that it was Z the whole time anyway. Now I'm off to find the Bitch.
Tanya: Who?
Rocky: Katherine.
Tanya: Oh.
Billy: Let's go Rangers.

They stand in the center of the Power Chamber. Billy turns and points his Zeonizer at the shattered glass case. With an intense concentration, the broken glass slowly lifts itself up and reforms. Within seconds, the case is whole, as if it had never been broken.

Adam: Thanks Billy. That means a lot to me.
Billy: Those suits mean a lot to me too. Let's go.

The Rangers teleport out. The streak of Blue drifts away from the other streaks of Green, Red, and Yellow. The three other streaks head towards Rocky's house. The Blue streak heads towards the hospital where it knows it will find a streak of Pink and a streak of white.

At the hospital:
Katherine lies at Tommy's side, they are entangled in one another's arms. They are both crying, while at the same time trying to console one another. A streak of blue teleports in.

Kat: Rocky! What happened to-- (Gasp!) Billy!
Billy: Hi, Kat. Tommy. Just thought I'd stop in and see how you were doing.
Tommy: Get out of here! I'll call the nurse!
Billy: Not a very good idea, Tom-Tom. You make one move toward that call button and I'll snap your neck and teleport out of here so fast.... Of course, Kat will be blamed, and wouldn't that be a shame?
Kat: Please, Billy, leave him alone! Please!
Billy: Oh, I'm not here for him. I'm here for you.
Kat: What?!
Billy: I said you were going to pay for doing this to me....

Billy opens his flannel shirt and reveals the burn left by the Zeo Blaster.

Billy: And you will.
Tommy: My God, Kat, what did--
Kat: He was trying to kill Alpha! I had to--
Billy: You can't kill Alpha, you stupid bitch, he's just a stinkin' robot! You, on the other hand, can be dealt with in many, many interesting ways. I'm thinking... a piece of rope, some handcuffs, maybe a few salami, and... a dog. That could be really cool, dontcha think?
Kat: My God...!
Tommy: Leave her alone!
Billy: You're in no shape to be giving orders, Mr. Tiny-meat.
Tommy: Who are you calling--
Billy: I'm in charge now. Zordon tried to kill me, not once, but twice! And guess what? I'm still here! And Zordon...? Let's just say he's got a lot of time on his hands. Er... on his head. Hee-hee. On his head. Hee-hee!
Kat: Billy, please, just leave us alone! We won't--
Billy: Won't bother me again, I know, blah blah blah. Nothing you can say will change my mind about this, Kat. Do you realize I'll probably be scarred for life? Not to mention the fact that it hurts like hell. You can't expect me to let that go unpunished?
Kat: (voice quavering) Yes?
Billy: EEERRRNNNNT!! WRONG!!!

Kat and Tommy both jump at this outburst, they clutch each other tighter out of fear.

Billy: You both disgust me. Get over here, ya little slut bitch.
Kat: Please... (begins to cry)
Billy: Oh for cryin' out loud, cut the waterworks already. It's not so bad. What are you afraid of, anyway?
Kat: YOU!!
Billy: Really? Good. Now get over here before I come over there and get you.
Tommy: What are you going to do?
Billy: (evil grin) Whatever I do... I'm gonna enjoy it.
