Lord Zedd
Perfect!!! HAHAHAHAHEE!!! While those Pesky Teenagers fight with Rito,
Goldar and the Agitators, I can use the solar eclipse to release the Dark
Rangers. Soon, The Dark Rangers will be released and will wreak havoc
in the Command Center on Earth. They will also set up the containment
device that won't allow Zordon to call the Rangers for help. Their job
is to destroy everything and wait for my next command after they finish.
Rita
Finally!! An end to those pesky Rangers of Earth. Fare well Power Dweebs!!!
hahahahahahahaha!!!!!
Lord Zedd
Yesss. The eclipse is starting. Dark Rangers of Cal Rixxia, you have been
suspended for all of time, now by the power of Darkness, your will be
MINE!!!
(The camera changes angles and shows the moon's landscape. Six colors ooze out of the surface of the moon and fly into the moonbase)
I am Lord Zedd, Master of all Evil.
DiamondFear
I am the mighty DiamondFear, leader of the Dark Rangers of Cal Rixx Prime.
What is your bidding my new and extremely powerful master?
(As the other Dark Rangers introduce themselves, The camera cuts back to the moonscape as an ominous black shape explodes out of the moon's crust and flies directly into the moonbase with a loud crash. Everyone in the moonbase falls to the ground as the entire structure shudders, and lights flicker.)
Lord Zedd
What in the eternal blackness was that?!?!
(Energy crackles and lights flicker again, this time with an ominous overtone. Electricity crackles and begins to form a humanoid shape and then solidifies into Retsinis Nemar)
Lord Zedd
Who in this galaxy do you think you are and why have you crashed into
my moonbase?
(Loud moan and bones creak as Retsinis Nemar stretches)
Retsinis Nemar
I am Retsinis Nemar. Scourge of the planet Rixxia Alpha. Who would you
happen to be?
Lord Zedd
My name is Lord Zedd. I am master of all evil and corruption. I will ask
the questions around here.
Retsinis Nemar
I only wish to express my gratitude to you for freeing me from my eternal
imprisonment. I was imprisoned here on this moon by a mighty warrior from
the planet Eltar and his pathetic soldiers, when the planet it now orbits
was new and untouched.
DiamondFear
You must be the mighty evil one that Lady T'nemrot spoke so fondly of
as the vilest being in the galaxy.
Retsinis Nemar
What has happened to Lady t'nemrot? Where is she now? How do you know
her?
DiamondFear
W-we are her creations. She is our Dark Mistress. She was the one who
gave us the ability to become the Dark Rangers. We do not know what has
happened since our imprisonment by the Lord of Eltar.
Lord Zedd
Mighty warrior and Lord of Eltar?!? No. It can't be. It's not possible.
Tell me, would that happen to be Zordon of Eltar?
Dark Rangers and Retsinis Nemar
Yes!!
Retsinis Nemar
How do you know about Zordon of Eltar?? He must be an ancient by now.
Lord Zedd
This is even better than I had hoped. Zordon of Eltar has given special
abilities to six teenagers to battle me and my minions. He is a pain in
my side. I hope you have the power you need to destroy him!! Without him,
The Rangers of Earth are doomed.
Retsinis Nemar
He's still using Teenagers to do his dirty work? Teenagers are no match
for me.
Lord Zedd
That's what I said when I took over!!! Now listen carefully, here are
your instructions.......
Scene 16
(Scene fades back to Earth and Angel Grove Marketplace where the Rangers
teleport in and confront Rito and Goldar. People are already panicking
at the sight of the two monsters, running and screaming are heard in the
background. VFX: Teleportation seq.)
Tommy
All right, stop where you are. What are you two doing here?
Rito
I just thought I'd take my friends to see your lovely new shopping mall,
and break a few windows. Just for old times sake!
Goldar
Stop talking and release the Agitators, you idiot!!! Don't forget to activate
your suppression (repressor) belts!!!
(Rito and Goldar hit bright red buttons on the metallic belts they are wearing.)
Say hello to the Agitators, you pesky punks. Agitators annihilate!!!
(Rito and Goldar open the containers they are holding and pour out its contents. It appears to be some sort of plastic figurines of some sort. Goldar sprinkles something glittering on them and they begin to grow. When they reach full size, they scatter and begin begin smashing windows, wrecking displays and terrorizing the citizens all over the mall. Within a few minutes, the marketplace is teeming with Agitators.)
Tommy
Kimberly, Aisha. Help evacuate the mall. I don't want anybody being hurt
by these things. The less people around mean there's a less chance that
anyone gets seriously hurt.
(The mall skylights darken as the eclipse starts.)
Billy
(The Camera follows Billy as he runs past shops toward an Agitator which
is about to grab a citizen.) Watch out!!
(The camera angle changes and Billy performs an acrobatic flip and lands on the Agitator, flattening it.)
Billy
(To the citizen) Get out of here, hurry. Run.
Scene 17
(Scene changes back to Tommy, who throws an Agitator and sends it crashing
into a picnic table.)
Tommy
(activates and starts speaking into his wrist communicator.) Zordon, how
long is the eclipse going to last?
(No response. Only faint beep and static)
Zordon?
(Tommy pushes another button on his communicator)
Billy, do you read me? I can't get in touch with the Command Center. Do
you think something's wrong?
Billy
(examining his scanner) Something's blocking the signal. Of course, it
could be just part of what's happening because of the Eclipse.
Tommy
Oh, man. If Lord Zedd decides to raise the stakes by making Goldar and
Rito grow, we're in big trouble.
Rocky
What do you mean? It's just a solar eclipse.
Billy
What he means is the Zords won't function without solar energy to power
it. We'll be helpless to stop them.
Scene 18
(Scene cuts to exit of the mall where Kimberly and Aisha help the last
of the crowds out the door into the parking lot.)
Kimberly
There go the last of the crowds. Let's help Tommy, Adam, and Rocky with
Rito, Goldar and those Agitator things.
Scene 19
(Scene changes back to Tommy who is now being swarmed by the Agitators.
He begins throwing them off left and right. In the background, the other
Rangers are fighting off hordes of Agitators, on the two levels of the
mall. Goldar walks up to Tommy and laughs.)
Goldar
Give it up Tommy. You've never beaten me and you never will beat the Agitators.
White Ranger
Oh yeah. Well, maybe I just might surprise you today.
(Tommy flings another Agitator off his back. He sweeps one and shoves
another. Twelve Agitators run toward Tommy from the other end of the mall.)
Tommy
Saba!
(VFX: Saba materializes in Tommy's hand.)
Saba
What are those nasty looking creatures assaulting the marketplace?
Tommy
Agitators.
Saba
Destructive creatures, aren't they? Worse than Putties.
Tommy
Yeah. Saba Slash!
(VFX: Saba starts to glow. The Agitators are now close to Tommy. As the reach him, Tommy uses Saba to knock them aside and starts plowing a path right through toward Goldar.)
Scene 20
(Scene cuts back to Command Center. Close up of Alpha furiously entering
commands with sounds and bleeps emanating from it. He looks up as the
camera pulls back to show him talking to Zordon.)
Alpha 5
Oh Aiyiyiyiyi!!! Zordon, We've lost all contact with the Rangers. I can't
even monitor their situation. Teleporter is non-functional and we've lost
power to the lower levels and Hangar bay area.
Zordon
It is the one of the many side effects of the solar eclipse. That is cause
of all the problems. Without solar energy, the Command Center main computer
and all non- essential systems will be off-line temporarily.
(Alarms start to go off. Alpha turns to look at the viewing globe, it is blank. The camera pulls back and shows Alpha running from Zordon's tube to the console next to the viewing globe.)
Zordon
Alpha, that was the external security checkpoint. Bring up the view from
external security cameras. The alarm indicates that there are intruders
present ouside the Command Center.
(Camera pans over to Alpha standing next to the viewing globe.)
Alpha 5
Zordon, There is nothing on the security monitors to indicate intruders
located in.....
(An explosion rocks the Command center and a few moments later, the main doors explode inward. The Dark Rangers, weapons drawn, enter through the smoking ruins of the main chamber door carrying a disk shaped device.
Camera zooms in on Zordon.)
Zordon
DiamondFear, you do not belong here. I must ask you to leave at once.
(The camera changes and shows DiamondFear)
DiamondFear
Be quiet, Old man. You can't do anything to us anymore. We are the masters
now. Oh, by the way, that strobe program was pathetic, You see, we have
our own personal teleporting devices right here in our belts. The strobe
field only protects the Command Center from Teleportation and using the
main entrance. So we blew a hole in the side of the building. Lord Zedd
has instructed us to bring you a little present.
(Camera pans as VileQuartz and BloodRuby carry the disk shaped device over to Zordon's tube and set it down in front of him. Camera pans back to show Alpha run to another console. )
Alpha
Oh no you don't. Take this.
(Camera zooms in on Alpha as he begins to enter a security code into the
computer.)
DiamondFear
Emerald Slime, this mere annoyance is getting intolerable, dispose of
it.
(Emerald Slime steps up behind Alpha 5. Zordon tries to warn him.)
Zordon
Alpha, be careful Emerald Slime is.....
Emerald Slime
Oh, no little robot, you take this. Power Leech Blast.
(A humming sound is heard and as it reaches it's power limit, his Chest Plate fires a bolt of green energy at Alpha. Alpha 5 turns in time to see a green bolt hit him.)
Alpha 5
Aiyiyiyiyi!! Malfunction. Overload.............
(As his systems crash and explode, the last thing Alpha 5 sees is DiamondFear and Emerald Slime standing over him. Alpha then falls to the ground in pieces. DiamondFear walks over to the tube holding Zordon.)
DiamondFear
One down , and one to go. Here's your present from Zedd.
(DiamondFear kneels and turns the small disk on. It hums and energy crackles. The energy takes the form of Retsinis Nemar and solidifies. He stretches and points up at Zordon.)
Retsinis Nemar
Well, well, well. If it isn't my old friend Zordon. Do you have any idea,
what it is like to sleep for millennia? Well you're about to find out
what eternal sleep feels like!! I plan to destroy you and wipe your existence
from the planet like a baby getting rid of a rash. Then I will proclaim
myself master of the world.
DiamondFear
If you need us we'll be down in the hangar reprogramming the Zords for
our personal use in destroying Angel Grove. Oh, by the way Old Man. Don't
bother calling for help. Zedd has erected a containment field around the
Command center that will prevent teleporting and communications from your
puny earthling Rangers. Good-bye forever, Zordon of Eltar.
(The camera pans to show the Dark Rangers walk out the ruins of the door and turn right.)
Retsinis Nemar
Now, with them out of the way, I can really get cracking. I have a few
questions to ask you before I send you to the recycling heap, like your
little friend over there. Where is Lady T'nemrot? What have you done with
her? Now for my other questions.....
Scene 21
(Scene cuts back to Angel Grove Marketplace. The battle is still going.
Windows are broken, furniture smashed, fire sprinklers going off. The
Rangers are still in the thick of it battling the Agitators.)
Rito
Is that the best you power punks have? It'll be child's play to finish
you off if that's the best you can do!! Those Agitators are making mincemeat
out of you.
Aisha
Rocky! Adam! duck.
(As Kim and Aisha run up to join the guys, Kim sees an Agitator sneaking up on Rocky and Adam,She launches a flying kick and knocks the Agitator that's about to jump onto Rocky and Adam into Rito and sends them both crashing to the ground)
Rito
Awww!!! No fair!! You cheated, it's now four against one. I can handle
two-on-one , but four, no-ooo way!!! I'm outta here.
(Rito Teleports away in a flash of light)
Goldar
Rito!!! Where do you think you're going? Can't you handle two pesky Rangers?
Come back here and fight like a monster!!!
(Tommy back flips from the Agitator he was standing over and joins the rest of the Rangers.)
Tommy
Do you think you could handle all of us, Goldar? Well, do you? All of
your Agitators have been knocked cold and sent back to the moon where
they can't cause anymore trouble!!
(Camera pans to the skylight in the center of the mall. The Solar Eclipse starts to disappear. Partial Sunlight begins to light up the Mall again.)
Scene 22
(Scene cuts back to Command Center, and shows Zordon and Retsinis Nemar
talking.)
Zordon
Even if I were to answer you, you will never see her again. She was turned
into a statue and smashed, her pieces were scattered all over the known
galaxy. It would take you hundreds of years to track down all her pieces
and restore her to life. I must warn you, To destroy me it would take
an immense power source. Power which you do not have or will ever have.
Retsinis Nemar
Oh, but that's where you're wrong. Now, I'll activate the three minute
timer on a number of explosive devices I had the Dark Rangers set up at
the foot of the Command Center. I won't worry though. Here's my ticket
out of here. A little present from Lord Zedd. Bye bye now.
(He pushes a button on his wristband. A bleep is heard and and a hologram of Lord Zedd appears on his wrist as he speaks.)
Lord Zedd
Retsinis Nemar. I want to thank you for doing my dirty work for me. I
just thought I'd tell you, I'm the only scourge of the galaxy there will
ever be. Enjoy your eternity with Zordon. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
(Zedd's image disappears from the teleportation unit)
Scene 23
(Scene cuts to a close up of the lift taking the Dark Rangers to the hangar
bay area.)
DiamondFear
Since I am the leader. I will take the FalconZord. The rest of you can
fight over the other Zords.
Sapphire Storm
I want the Ultrazords, Titanus and Tor.
KnightOpal
No, I want one of them.
(They start arguing. A loud boom rocks the lift as they reach the bay area destination.)
Scene 24
(Scene changes to a shot of the sky above the Command Center. The Eclipse
ends as the sun shines more brilliantly than ever. Detonations are heard
echoing throughout the desert valley where the Command Center is located,
above the muffled detonations, we hear Retsinis Nemar's loud yell.)
Retsinis Nemar
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
(The Camera's switches to the interior of the Command Center as his yell
continues. The Explosions destroy the consoles and chunks of the ceiling
the walls start falling. Zordon disappears in a brilliant flash of light
and Retsinis is knocked unconcious by the debris.)
Scene 25
(A close up of DiamondFear as another loud boom rocks the mountain, as
they enter the bay area itself. As the camera pans around the hangar area,
it shows that the Zords are all in their own sort of Garage or space.
The camera pans down and show on the far wall, lined up are the Ranger's
weapons except Saba. KnightOpal runs over to the wall.)
KnightOpal
Let's grab these. Quick, those explosions sounded near.
(The camera pans back to DiamondFear.)
DiamondFear
That triggerhappy lunkhead must have set off the explosives. There are
the zords. Now we have to make doubletime in reprogram..... What in Cal
Rixxia is going on?!?
(A bigger explosion rocks the hangar area. We see a wide shot of the bay filled with the Zords as chunks of rock and debris fall from above destroying the Zords. The Dark Rangers scatter and run for cover.)
Sapphire Storm
The Zords are being smashed to pieces. They're useless to us now.
( Bigger chunks of rock start falling into the middle of the bay.)
DiamondFear
We've got to get out of here now. The whole mountain is going.
(The Dark Rangers teleport out as chunks of rock and debris fall and begin cover the entire screen)
Scene 26
(Scene cuts back to Angel Grove Marketplace.)
Goldar
Uh-oh. I'm in trouble.
(All Rangers, except Billy, who is fiddling with his communicator, rush at him and just before they reach him, they stop short as the de-Morphing process kicks in.)
Billy
Zordon! Alpha! Can you read me?
(Billy tries his communicator again with the same results as Tommy's earlier try received. Camera pans over to Tommy as Saba dematerializes from his hand.)
Tommy
Saba? Now what's going on? Something's happening. Aahhhh!
(Tommy doubles over as if in intense agony, the morpher explodes in a
brilliant shower of sparks and he begins to de-morph. Tommy drops to the
ground.)
Adam
So do I. Uhhhh!!!
(Adam also doubles over as if in pain. His morpher explodes also, as he,
too, falls to the ground.)
Kimberly and Aisha Adam!!! Are you all right? Ohhhhh!!!
(The girls are hit with the same affliction)
Billy and Rocky
Guys, are you......Aarrghhh!!
(They also fall to the ground, Morphers exploding.)
Tommy
What's happening to us? We're de-morphing. Why is it so painful?
Goldar
Yesssss. My work is done here. Farewell Power punks! or should I say Power-Less
punks.
(Goldar vanishes in a flash of flames. Tommy picks himself up from the ground and tries his communicator again.)
Tommy
Alpha, Zordon, this is the Rangers. Come in.
(Communicator bleeps and fizzles)
Something's wrong. Something's really wrong.
Kimberly
What's wrong Tommy?
Tommy
Whatever happened to us isn't just because of the eclipse.
Billy
(Tries to activate the teleporter, it starts to dissolve them and then
stops.) Tommy, nothing's working. We can't even teleport.
Tommy
(To Billy) We need the Ranger Jet.
Billy
The Ranger Jet's hidden in our underground runway.
(The Rangers hurry to the secret entrance in Angel Grove Park. Tommy pulls
out a remote, clicks it and a tree splits open to reveal an elevator that
takes them to the underground runway and the jet takes off, exiting from
a warehouse in Angel Grove industrial area.)
Scene 27
(Cut to Rangers in the Ranger Jet approaching the mountain where the Command
Center was located. The camera pulls back to a view of all that can be
seen from above the Ranger Jet. What was once the Command Center, is now
a giant gaping hole in the desert. Dust and smoke rising from a pile of
rubble in the center.)
Scene 28
(Scene changes to the interior of the Ranger Jet and the camera pans around
the cockpit to reveal the Rangers shocked expressions.)
Adam
What happened?
Aisha
The Command Center is gone.
Tommy
Quick. We've got to get down there now.
Scene 29
(Scene changes to exterior of the Ranger Jet Landing near what was the
foot of the mountain of the Command Center. The Camera follows the Rangers
as they scramble to the top.)
(Fade out as they are climbing)
Scene 30
(Fade in: Rangers are standing in what is left of the Command Center's
underground tunnels Kimberly and Aisha are frantically digging through
a pile of what was the Command Center. Billy scans wreckage.)
Billy
(To Tommy) (sadly and slowly turns to Tommy) I'm....I'm not picking up
any life signs anywhere.
Rocky
Billy, I found Alpha.
Billy
(Billy walks over to Rocky) His body is crushed, but his head is intact.
All of his memory modules are intact. I'm going to download it into my
computer so we can save what's left of Alpha 5.
Kimberly
(Yells) I've found him.
(Rangers run to Kimberly to find Zordon's lifeless body lying partially crushed by rocks and debris.)
Billy
(Scanning the body , after a while, slowly.) He's gone.
(Camera pulls back to wide shot of Rangers standing around Zordon's lifeless body)
Scene 31
(Cut to close up of Retsinis Nemar, and pull back to wide shot of Retsinis
Nemar and Zedd on his knees, groveling for his life. Rita, Rito, and Goldar
are on their kness also.)
Retsinis Nemar
No one double-crosses Retsinis Nemar and lives.
Lord Zedd
Please Retsinis Nemar! It was all in fun. Can't you take a little joke?
Rita
You and your big ideas. Now look what you've gotten us into.
(Retsinis Nemar frowns and raises his arm menacingly and releases a stream of blue light from his hand. The blue light hits Lord Zedd,Rita, Goldar, and Rito and they disappear with a flash of light. The light recedes back into his hand and forms another little snowy village. He lifts it to his face, gives it a shake, smiles and throws it aside.)
Scene 32
(The camera zooms in on the little snow globe as it rolls to the side
of the throne chamber and clinks against the wall. Lord Zedd is glowing
red and shaking his arms in the air.)
Zedd
I can't believe this is happening to me all over again!!!
Rita
You?!?!? What do you mean you, you mean us don't you?
Zedd
Can't you just for once be quiet and let me be miserable in silence! I
have a headache!!!
Rita
What is that horrible smell?
Rito
Sorry.
