-Episode 10 The Past-

As Tazz relaxes in his living room, still recovering from the large slash in his chest, he finds himself thinking about the people and places that have made up his past. His mind flashes to images of before he was a ranger and spending time with friends at Angel Grove High. His mind flashes forward to when he found the silver nitro crystal and its morpher. He thinks about the fights he had that were simple to handle alone and usually did not require him to morph. He laughs at the way Triopa attacked him and how easily she fell to his power punch. He remembers moving from Angel Grove to Mariner Bay to fight as new problems arose. He thinks about standing in front of Master Skywalker and realizing that he was only a child in the universe. Tazz ponders about the feeling he got when he was around Krina at the jedi academy. He remembers that he felt hurt when she left and the how he felt excitement when he saw her on Korriban studying to become a Master Sith. As his mind fast-forwards through the remaining of his jedi training, he remembers the loneliness he felt away from Krina. Tazz moves to his return to earth and finding himself in 2019 Reefside. He is hanging around the Cyber Café when he recognizes Dr. Tommy Oliver from when he was at Angel Grove High. Together they work to stop a gang war in Reefside that nearly lays waist to the city. Tazz uses his new powers along with his old to destroy the threat and start to search for a way back to his rightful time. After spending some time with SPD and hiding his identity as a ranger, he leaves and focuses on a new threat in Angel Grove. From forming the Jedi Force rangers from the dino crystals, to Ethan finding the lost Dino Crystal, he knows his time in 2020 was to short. As the time with the Jedi Force rangers goes through his mind, he thinks about each ranger and each power they possessed. He thinks about Tina the most. He dwells that her time with the rangers was short lived. He knows that leaving the team was her diction and that Tun was a perfect replacement. As the battles wind down, Tazz finds he is happy that Krina was there to help him in the end. He reflects on her saying goodbye and returning to Yavin 4 and the jedi academy. As he remembers destroying General Kenobi and Unisapion in the final battle, he thinks about how he wishes he had not simply captured them. He smiles when he thinks about handing Crugar the containment card and teleporting home. He thinks about walking through the wormhole as the phone rings and startles him. Tazz answers the phone and smiles as he recognizes the voice on the other end of the line. A soft female voice asks him if he remembers who she is. He smiles and tells her that he could never forget her. He laughs as he tells her that he cannot believe she tracked him down. She tells him that she tracked him down after seeing him at the drag races. He laughs as she explains that finding him was not easy and that it took some convincing before anyone would tell her that he owned the karate school. She adds that when she visited the school Jason told her that he received an injury and was still at home. Tazz confirms that he the injury was not serious and that he received it during a fight, but was getting better. As he is about to tell her to visit him at the house, she ask him to meet her at the Crystal Book Café, a local hangout and meeting spot. Tazz agrees and tells her that he will be there shortly. He smiles as he tells her goodbye and hangs up the phone. As he walks to the door, he grabs a red long-sleeved shirt to hide the large scar on his chest. He opens the door as he grabs his keys and walks outside to the driveway where the silver Mustang GT is sitting. As he reaches to open the door, his communicator goes off with a distress signal from Shawn.

Meanwhile at the park, Ashley and Shawn play half court basketball against Danielle and Justin. Ashley fakes out her sister but sends her shot over the fence, that borders the court, and onto the grass near the running path. Ashley smirks and runs after the ball as her sister gripes that she did it on purpose. Ashley looks back as she leaves the fenced in area and tell her that she took the shot it was just off the mark. As she gets half way to where the ball is laying, a strange man picks it up. The man walks towards her and tells her to be more careful with whom she walks up to. Ashley blinks and asks the man for her ball back. He looks at the ball then at her and then back at the ball. He takes the ball in one hand and throws it at her at a high velocity that knocks her to the ground when it hits her stomach. Shawn rushes out of the gate and as he gets to her, she starts to stand up. The stranger laughs and is joined by many of the other people in the park. They all are laughing when Shawn asks him why he threw the ball so hard at her. As the laughter continues, two of them close the gate to the basketball court and trap Justin and Danielle inside. As the crowed starts to close in on Ashley and Shawn, Danielle uses force vision and determines that the crowds of people are actually minions. She tells Justin and he tells her that they have to get out and help. Ashley looks back at her sister and unconsciously asks her if she is positive. Danielle nods to her sister and tells her they have to take action immediately. Ashley tells Shawn that they are going to have to fight their way out of the crowd. Shawn nods and sends a signal to Tazz. The two activate their morphers and power up into their battle suits. Justin is able to use a force push while Shawn and Ashley morph; this knocks the two holding the gate down and allows them to escape to the sides of their friends. Shawn tells them to morph and to be ready for anything. Justin and Danielle activate their morphers and join their friends in battle suits. The team strikes with a lightning attack that destroys the discuses and reveals the massive amount of minions they are facing.

Tazz contacts Hayley to tell her about the alert from Shawn. She tells him that she is in Reefside but from what she can tell there is a large minion attack in the park. Tazz thanks her and ask her to return to base or for her to contact Tommy to assist from base. Hayley agrees and ends communication. Tazz activates his morpher and powers into his battle suit. He teleports to the park and exits the teleportation early to use a force torpedo kick. As he hits the leader of the group of minions, he feels no give. He rebounds and lands with the others. Tazz looks at the stranger and is confused to why the kick had no affect on him. Justin and Danielle use force balls to attack the minions of their right as Shawn and Ashley use lightning strikes to attack the minions to the left. Tazz tells them to focus on the minions and that he will take care of the stranger. The man laughs and another wave of minions appear. The team splits up and takes on small groups of minions using their jedi sabers and force sabers to counter the minion’s swords. Tazz takes on the largest group and using a speed attack, with his lightsaber, he slices through almost all of them with one pass. As the stands to look at what he has left to destroy, another jump portal opens and a third group of minions attacks. Tazz knows that he cannot continue fighting minions if he is to take down the stranger. The other rangers find themselves overwhelmed by the large number of minions as Tazz releases a large force lightning attack that knocks them all to the ground. The stranger laughs as he walks through a jump portal and disappears. As Tazz is about to release another force lightning attack the minions all disappear, leaving the team alone in the park. The team walks over to Tazz as they power down. Tazz looks at them and shakes his head. As Tazz powers down, Shawn ask why they would leave when they were so overwhelmingly winning. Tazz ponders a moment and tells them he is unsure but he is sure they will find out soon. The team seems discouraged until Tommy contacts them to inform them of the museum robbery by Serge and Cheetah. Tazz tells the team to investigate while he meets a friend in town. The team agrees and teleports to the museum to meet up with Jason. Tazz looks around and then heads over to the Crystal Book Café.

As the fight in the park is going on, Cheetah and Serge use the opportunity to break into Jason’s exhibit at the museum. As they walk through the exhibit, they remove all the images of the monsters that the rangers have fought over the past. When they come across a picture of Luthor, Cheetah comments on how he actually lost to Mesagog when he returned to help destroy the Dino Thunder Rangers. Serge smirks at her and looks at the photo of Mesagog meeting his faith by the combined powers of the dino thunder rangers. Surge comments on how Mesagog would be a true challenge for the jedi knights to destroy. Cheetah tells him that they will just get the kid that helped them defeat Cobra to help again. They pass by the two photos and head for the jump portal. As they enter the portal, Serge grabs the picture of the psycho rangers. When they return to Serpentines lair, they open the portal in the park and welcome their decoy back. Serge heads to his workshop and begins sorting through the stacks of monsters.

Tazz arrives at the café and smiles when he sees Samantha waiting on him. They hug and sit down at one of the tables to talk. He listens as she tells him about what she has been doing since they graduated Angel Grove High. She tells him how after high school she went to Dallas for college and then Denver to work for a while until returning to Angel Grove to work as a consultant for the school district. Tazz smiles at her and ask what has brought her to Crystal Bay. She tells him that she is now working for the Crystal Bay Schools. He nods and smiles at her. She tells him that she first saw him again at the Karate tournament in Grande Gulch a month earlier. He asks her why she did not speak to him there. She explains that she was unsure and figured she could track him down once she got to Crystal Bay. She tells him that after she found the karate school she found out about all the things going on around town. He interrupts her and tells her that if he had known about all the trouble in the city he would have moved into the area much sooner. She laughs and asks him why he always has to be the hero. He smirks as he looks at her. As they continue to talk about the past and things that are going on in their lives, his phone rings. He answers his phone and listens to Ashley as she explains what happened at the museum. He tells her to find out how it happened and if there is a possible threat from what Cheetah and Serge stole. She agrees and they hang up. Tazz apologizes to Samantha and tells her that there was a robbery at the museum earlier. She smiles and tells him that she understands if he needs to leave. He thanks her but explains that others are handling it and he can stay. She smiles as she starts to ask him about the karate school; however, a jump portal opens and the stranger from the park appears. Tazz yells for everyone to run to safety. Samantha turns to run but the stranger grabs her, and as she tries to get free from him, he laughs at Tazz. Unable to morph or use any obvious force powers, Tazz decides to try simply to kick her loose. He leaps up using a force jump and is able to roll his body to kick the stranger first in the head and then in the shoulder to force him to release Samantha. Tazz grabs her as she gets to her feet and tells her to run. As they make their way to the museum, the stranger stops the chase and returns to terrorizing the café. Through heavy breathing, they make it to the museum and find Jason outside. Jason asks what the running was for; as he catches his breath, he tells the former ranger that there was an attack at the café. The others rush out and ask what is going on. Tazz tells them that they are ok and that an attack at the café caught him off guard. Samantha looks at the group and asks if they are the ones that Tazz talked to earlier on the phone. Ashley raises her hand and tells her that it was she. Samantha smiles at the young girl, then turns to Tazz, and asks whom they all are. Tazz hesitates on telling her, but Shawn cuts him off when he tells Tazz that they know how Serge and Cheetah got into the museum without anyone seeing them. Tazz tells him that they used a jump portal and that he had already figured that much out. Shawn laughs and tells him that nothing gets by him. Samantha looks at Tazz confused and asks him to explain what actually is going on. Tazz introduces each of the others to her and then tells the team that her name is Samantha. He explains that she is an old friend from Angel Grove High and that she just moved to Crystal Bay. Samantha smiles at each of them and then asks Tazz if she was the one that the person was after at the café or if it was he. Jason offers information that Crêpe works for Serpentine. He continues by telling her that while Crêpe was only a decoy to the true cause of the day’s actions, Serpentine is an evil being that came to cause trouble in Crystal Bay. Samantha, still confused, asks why they would attack her and Tazz. Tazz tells her that Crepe most likely received orders to attack him and used the opportunity to grab her and force him to give into Serpentine. Tommy contacts Tazz and informs him that Crepe is attacking anyone he comes across in on Main Street. Tazz acknowledges and tells Samantha that they must handle the problem. He tells her to go with Jason to the house and she will be safe until he returns. She looks at him concerned but he smiles and reassures her that nothing will happen while she is with Jason.

When away from Samantha and Jason, Tazz and the others stop and agree that they must destroy Crêpe or he will destroy the city. Tazz activates the morphers and slides through the arm movements to activate them. As they morph they teleport to the café, they find Crêpe headed down an alley and escaping. Tazz yells out for him to stop and surrender. Crêpe laughs and fires several shots towards the rangers. The explosion in front of the rangers blinds them and allows him to escape into the vacant lot at the end of the alley. Tazz leads the others to the end of the alley and tells them to use caution as they enter the lot. The team draws their jedi blasters and makes their way to the middle of the lot where a line of large crates blocks them from moving any further. Ashley asks what they do now as the team puts their blasters away. A large group of monsters emerges and attacks the team. The bug like monsters has large spikes on each finger and large eyes. The red color of their skin makes them look extremely mad and Tazz knows that these are not minions. Tazz fires off several shots only to find that it has no effect on the armored skin. Tazz shakes his head and uses a force push to stop the advancement of the monsters. Crêpe steps out from behind the crates laughing. He tells the rangers that he can see that they met Niño’s new buggers. He explains that like him they are invulnerable to the weapons the team uses. Tazz ask if they are willing to test that theory or if they want to give up now. Crêpe only answers by yelling for the buggers to attack the rangers. The team quickly counters the attack and find themselves overmatched in hand-to-hand combat. Justin and Shawn draw their force sabers and focus to push more force powers into the blade. They attack several buggers together and find that they can easily slice through the armor and destroy them. Meanwhile the girls call upon their battle poles and are able to take out several of the new monsters. Using shots to the stomachs and groins, they quickly make many of the buggers retreat. Tazz attacks Crêpe again and using his lightsaber hits a direct strike across his face. Crêpe laughs and tells him that it is useless to fight him. Tazz nods and walks away leaving Crêpe to laugh to himself. He slices his way through buggers as he reaches his team. Tazz tells the others it is time to draw deep inside them to find what they need. Ashley and Danielle agree and using their new found subconscious connection draw their force powers together into one. Tazz feels the increased force penetrating from them and knows its time to take Crêpe out. He powers up into Jedi Guardian Mode and draws his double bladed lightsaber. Crêpe laughs as Tazz turns around and the team squares off with him. Tazz calls for a hyper-speed attack and quickly moves in with both red blades glowing. The double blade finds its mark perfectly. First with an upstroke across the chest and with a flip over his head pulls the other blade down in the opposite direction. As he slides by, he leaves the lightsaber flipping vertically, repeatedly, into Crêpe. As the girls maximize their force energy, they release a joint force ball that rips through Crêpe with ease. As the ball hits, Tazz’s lightsaber returns to his hand and he stands up. Tazz turns to watch Crêpe explode and he smiles, as he knows that the power he felt between Ashley and Danielle was truly there. He returns to his team and powers down smiling at the team. He tells the girls that he knew they had a connection between them.

Back at base, Samantha awaits the return of Tazz and the others. As Tazz walks in, alone she smiles at him. She tells him that she is glad he is ok and that he was not hurt. Tazz hugs her and tells her that he is glad that she is safe as well. The two sit at the kitchen table and talk about the day. They mention nothing of the attacks or of Tazz’s amazing kick at the café. He tells her that if she stays around Crystal Bay, and especially him, she would become a target herself. She smiles and tells him that she is not about to leave. It took her to long to track him down and she will not loose him again. Tazz smiles and thanks her for wanting to stay. In the back of his mind he worries about the plans Serge and Cheetah have with more than twenty monster images they took from the museum.

(This was written as two parts so this one is fairly short.)
-Episode 11 Wanted! Part 1-

Tazz arrives at the karate school to find Justin and Jason teaching a preschool class. As he watched the class, he notices many of the students doing a technique; they learned several days before, incorrectly. Tazz gets up off the bleachers and walks into the classroom to correct the students. When he enters, he bows to the flags and walks over to Justin to tell him about the problem he has seen from several of the students. Justin takes the time to go to each student and helps him or her corrects the problem with their punch and kick combinations. Tazz approves and leaves the room. He walks into his office to sort through the week’s worth of mail and enrolment forms. As he shuffles through the forms, mail and other items on his desk, there is a soft knock on the open office door. He looks up and smiles at Samantha, who is standing in the doorway with his cell phone and communicator in her hands. She stands in the doorway wearing a white tank top and a pair of tight blue jeans that he bought her just the day before. She asks him if he forgot his phone on accident or if he just did not want to be bothered. He grinned, knowing she busted him, and tells her that he just figured he would make her bring it to him. She smiles and starts to walk into the office, closing the door behind her. They grin as she walks over to the desk and sits down on its edge. She hands him the phone and communicator and asks him if they would be able to have dinner later on in the day. He smiles and tells her that he would enjoy dinner with her if time permitted. She pauses a moment and is hesitant about asking him a question. He looks at her knowing she has something on her mind, but does not say anything. She speaks and tells him that she saw the large scar on his chest and wants to know about it. He thinks for a moment and then tells her that he received it during a battle with Diamond Back a couple weeks back. He tells her that the sword went through his battle suit and injected venom into him. She asks if being a ranger was worth the injuries and fatigue, he has suffered over the past few years. He tells her that he never became a ranger to sit around and not fight. He stresses that he has always known the risk of being a power ranger. She nods and stands up to leave. He stands and hugs her as she prepares to leave the office. He tells her that he is glad she is back and that she has helped him in many ways by just returning. She smiles and opens the door. As she turns to leave, Justin runs into her and he rushes into the office. He apologizes to Samantha and asks her to excuse him as he talks to Tazz. He says nothing, but taps his communicator and looks at Tazz. Tazz tells Samantha to stay and shut the door. He tells Justin that it is ok and that she has always known that he was a ranger. Justin nods and explains that Shawn and Ashley are investigating trouble at the harbor control office. Tazz ask where Danielle is at currently. Justin tells them that she is in Reefside with Tommy. Tazz contacts her and request that she return with Tommy as soon as she can. Danielle agrees and tells him she will meet them shortly. Tazz tells Samantha to return to base and assist from there. Tazz hands her a new communicator and instructs her on how to use it. As Tazz and Justin morph, she presses the button and teleports to base.

Tazz and Justin meet up with the rest of the team outside the harbor control office. Shawn tells them that a group of minions and buggers has entered the building just moments before they arrived. Tazz tells them that the monsters are probably after the harbor contraband safe, and a prototype weapon that customs seized. Ashley asks why they would bother with a safe full of contraband. He tells her that he will explain when they find the safe and retrieve the weapon. The team agrees and heads inside to locate the pest. As the team searches the building, Tazz works to locate the office with the safe in it. During his search, he finds several minions ransacking a room. He uses a force lightning attack to take them out with no effort. Ashley comes across a room that buggers are trying to break into a large door. She contacts the others and Tazz tells her to wait until everyone is there. Danielle and Justin arrive and the three watch the buggers bust a large hole in the door. They do not wait for Tazz and Shawn when they see the buggers destroy the rest of the door. As Ashley and Danielle attack with force lighting and push, Justin draws his lightsaber and slices through the buggers. On the way to the harbormasters’ office, Shawn runs into Saberfox. Saberfox has two large fangs and stands about 6 foot tall. Unable to ignore this threat he draws his force saber and attacks the large monster. When Tazz reaches the office, he is impressed that the three of them handled the buggers on their own and secured the room. He asks where Shawn is and the others do not answer. Justin heads to look for him while Tazz and the girls walk into the safe. Ashley asks if the weapon in front of them is what the buggers were looking for. Tazz explains that the weapon is a prototype that he made on a trip to India. He removes the weapon and explains that that in one way it is a blaster and in the other it is a lightsaber. He explains that customs confiscated it on his return due to have never seen one, and it being a weapon. Tazz places the weapon on his belt and they head to the stairs where they find Shawn and Justin fighting Saberfox. Tazz grabs his jedi blaster and fires off several shots to allow them to regroup. Tazz instructs the others to get out of the building while he takes care of the monster. Ashley objects but the others convince her to retreat. The team each uses a speed attack as they get by Saberfox and down the stairs to the exit. Saberfox however follows them out of the building and ignores the blaster fire from Tazz. When he reaches the door, he stops and laughs at the rangers. Tazz uses the opportunity to switch his lightsaber crystal from his standard saber to the new L-Blaster. Once he is done he teleports outside where the other rangers are. When he arrives, he finds that five monsters have surrounded the team and Saberfox still stands at the doorway laughing. Tazz uses his L-blaster to hit Eyeguy, Scatterbrain, Pachinkohead and Cannontop in order to alert the others that they ware behind them. As the others turn to attack the monsters, Flamehead appears and attacks Ashley and Danielle. Ashley uses her lightsaber to slice through Flamehead with little effort. Shawn and Danielle attack Eyeguy, while Tazz takes on Scatterbrain. Justin is able to hit Pachinkohead with a cross strike with his lightsaber. The strike destroys the monster and causes the other three monsters to hesitate. Tazz uses the opportunity to slice through Scatterbrain and destroy him. As the team regroups to take on the final two monsters, Saberfox steps from the doorway and tells them that he will not let them destroy all his monsters. Tazz uses a force push as the others use force lightning attacks. Cannontop fires several blasts that propelled the team backwards. Tazz converts his weapon to a blaster and fires at Cannontop as they get back to their feet. Shawn uses a speed attack that slices through the monster and destroys it with no effort. Eyeguy attacks Ashley and Danielle only to receive a hard headshot from their blasters. As the monster explodes, Tazz tells Saberfox to give up. He releases a large group of buggers and attacks the rangers. AS the team works on destroying the buggers, Tazz attacks Saberfox. Danielle and Ashley combine their force powers to strike the buggers with a force lightning attack. Justin and Shawn use their lightsabers and are able to destroy the buggers they are fighting. Using the L-blaster in lightsaber mode, he locks up with Saberfoxs’ sword. Tazz uses his free hand to punch him in the chest and then duck as he watches the sword fly just above his head. Tazz sweeps Saberfox at the knees and then hits him with an ax kick to the groin. Tazz regroups with the other rangers and is not surprised when the monster is able to recall the five monsters that they had just destroyed.

Stunned that they could reappear Ashley asks how they can be back. Tazz looks at her and reminds her that the monsters are clones of the originals and destroying the source is the only way to destroy them. Tazz tells each of them to take on a monster again and to do their best to destroy it. Tazz matches up with Eyeguy as the others pair off. He hits the monster with several windmill kicks before landing a well-placed sidekick in Eyeguys face. He reacts by pushing Tazz away by the leg. As Tazz recovers from the push, he is able to duck low and sweep the monster off his feet. He steps back and draws his L-Blaster. Tazz watches as Eyeguy returns to his feet and starts to run towards him. As he gets close, he sidesteps the monster and slices through him with the lightsaber. The monster explodes and Tazz turns to see the other monsters explode except Scatterbrain. Ashley, who is fighting Scatterbrain, is struggling to defeat the monster. Tazz fires his L-Blaster to allow Ashley to get away and regroup. Tazz draws his jedi saber and calls for a star attack. The five sabers touch and the fire star slices through Scatterbrain. Saberfox shows back up and using a regeneration grenade to enlarge both himself and Scatterbrain. Samantha contacts the rangers and tells them that the Beast Zords are on their way. Tazz thanks her and the team leaps into the cockpits.

Tazz confirms the Megazord combination and the five zords combine into the Beast Megazord. The team waist no time in calling for the hydro-cannon as Saberfox charges them. The blast hits the monster but does little to stop him. The two monsters move around the zord and force the team to decide which one to focus on. They choose to attack Saberfox with the left blaster-cannons. The blast knocks the monster back but allows Scatterbrain to grab them from behind and repeatedly strike them in the midsection. Samantha sends the Jedi Assault Megazord to assist as Saberfox returns to his feet. Tazz instructs Justin and Shawn to teleport into the other zord and keep one of the monsters busy while he destroys the other. They agree and switch zords. Shawn takes the controls and uses the jedi blaster to get the attention of Saberfox. Scatterbrain releases the Beast Megazord as Shawn lands the shots on Saberfox. Tazz and the girls struggle to keep the zord upright as Scatterbrain hits them again. Saberfox lands a hard punch on the Assault Megazord before Shawn can call for the Jedi Saber. Tazz fires both the hydro and blaster cannons at the same time and find that the blast rips right through Scatterbrain. When the monster explodes, Saberfox yells at the rangers that he is not finished with them. He disappears and the rangers take a deep breath knowing that they were able to come out of the fight with at least a draw.

The team returns to bas and talks about how odd the fight was. Tazz tells them that he fears that Serge is only toying with them and they should be ready for anything to happen. The team nods and are filled in about the L-blaster from Tazz. He explains that its blaster power is much better than the current jedi blasters; however, it is not as durable during long fights. Ashley questions the use of the lightsaber portion of the weapon. Tazz demonstrates that it functions just the same as the traditional lightsaber. Jason walks in and tells Tazz that he fears the next group of monsters may not be so easy. He explains that Serge removed a large number of the ninja storm and dino thunder monsters in addition to Rita and Zedd’s monsters. He adds that Serge stole the image and Datacards for the psycho-rangers as well. Tazz knows that Serge is not the one responsible for the theft of the Datacards. He tells Jason that he removed the Datacards weeks before and placed them in a secure safe inside the base. He walks over to the safe and opens it. He pulls out the cards and nods when he confirms they are the real ones. Jason asks him why he removed him. Tazz explains that he knows that if he does not destroy them than Voltor will use them against him in the future and he thought that he might be able to rewrite the future if he could find a way to destroy the cards. Jason nods and sighs in relief. The alarm sounds and Samantha tells the team that Saberfox is back in the park causing trouble. Tazz tells the others that they need as much power as they can get to destroy the monster. He tells them to power up and try to handle him until he gets there with help. Shawn yells for them to return to action, they teleport to the park while Tazz and Jason contact the Dino Thunder team.

-Episode 12 - Wanted! Part 2-

The alarm continues to sound as Tazz contacts Tommy and Hayley. He informs them of the problem and asks for them to teleport to base. Jason prepares the dino morphers as Tazz gets Tommy and Hayley filled in. Tommy agrees that the Dino Thunder rangers will be able to assist in the problem and contacts the others by cell phone. The Dino Thunder team arrives; Tazz and Tommy quickly fill them in on the details. Conner knows the power Tazz can draw and knows that if he is asking for help he truly needs it. Trent asks how they can help without ranger powers. Jason and Hayley walk in with a silver briefcase that has the Dino Thunder Logo on it. Hayley opens the briefcase and presents them with their recharged morphers. Conner and the others grab their morphers and nod to each other and then Tazz. They power up and with Tazz teleport to the park to assist the others. While the Conner and the other Dino rangers are receiving their recharged morphers, Ashley and Danielle work together to attack Saberfox while Justin and Shawn fight with a group of buggers. When Tazz arrives, he immediately attacks Saberfox with blaster fire from his L-Blaster. Tazz teams up with Tommy to attack the monster, while everyone else attacks the buggers and minions that quickly appear. Tommy shows no rust as he lands several hard shots into the gut of the monster. Tazz uses a force push to knock him off his feet and lands a hard force kick into his face. Saberfox backs up and yells at the rangers. Tazz looks at Conner and tells him to pair up to attack the monster. Ashlie and Kira attack first with flying sidekicks. As he leaves, five new monsters appear. Ethan and Justin attack next with saber shots in the face and kicks to the back of the knees to knock him down. Trent and Shawn attack next and score direct hits with speed attacks while the monster is still down. Saberfox struggles to get up when a force ball and energy orb from Danielle and Tommy hit him. Tazz and Conner nod and use speed attacks to slice through Saberfox and as Tazz sees the final strike, he knows it will not be enough. He throws his lightsaber at him but watches as Saberfox slips into a jump portal and five new monsters emerge. Conner and the others are amazed as they look at five monsters they destroyed two years earlier.

Trent tells everyone that someone wants them to fight again and the same thing will happen this time because the Dino Thunder rangers destroy all their enemies. As the two teams square off with Goldenrod, Megalador, Chaching, Terrorsaurus, and Birdbrain they notice the absence of minions and buggers and the presents of Tyrannodroins and Triptoids. Tazz tells Conner that they can pair up and take out the monsters. He adds for Kira and Ashley to handle the mob while everyone else handles the monsters. Conner tells Tazz that he can handle Goldenrod on his own if Tazz wanted to take on Terrorsaurus solo. Tazz agrees and tells everyone to attack. Tommy and Danielle attack first taking on Megalador. Tommy is quick to hit a hard sidekick as Danielle hits a force lightning strike. Tazz powers up into guardian mode and throws his lightsaber to get the attention of Terrorsaurus. Justin and Ethan quickly hit saber shots on Birdbrain as Trent and Shawn hit speed attacks on Chaching. Kira and Ashley are able to strike down most of the mob before the others finish their attacks on the monsters. As everyone turns to see the damage of their attacks, they are all amazed that the monsters are just laughing at them. Tazz knows that it will take more and decides to take things up a notch. He instructs Conner to power up and joins him in a full attack. Ethan and Kira activate the shield of triumph and Conner activates Triassic power. Tazz tells Conner to take it up another notch and activate his Battlizer. Conner nods and calls for the hidden power of the Battlizer. Tazz uses a hyper-speed attack and double slices each of the monsters as he goes through them. Conner follows with fire kicks on each monster and then a blast from his cannons to finish the job. Tazz does not wait and tells the girls to fire off a force energy ball. They quickly combine their force powers and launch the ball. The explosion engulfs the monsters and as the smoke clears only one monster remains. Trent tells them it is time to finish the job and with Justin uses a speed attack that slices through Birdbrain multiple times. The explosion forces everyone to turn and look away. When the smoke clears, they are all amazed that the monster still stands. Shawn slams his foot against the ground and draws his lightsaber and force saber. He can feel the drain as he uses a speed attack and using a double uppercut motion he slices through the monster. Tazz, impressed by the attack, suggest Ashley do the same thing with two lightsabers. She takes Danielle’s lightsaber and does the same attack with the same results. The drain of force causes both of them to loose their morph and Samantha waist on time in teleporting the two of them back just as she had done Ethan and Kira. As the monster explodes from a final combination attack from Tazz and Conner, they are teleported back to base where they find Shawn has unlocked his Guardian mode power. Shawn does not understand why a sonic attack would be his guardian attack until Tazz explains that the guardian attack that each of them has is a chain and that it is only one link of a very powerful chain attack. Shawn nods and says that he is ready when he has to use it. Samantha pulls Tazz aside and tells him that the force drain on Shawn was extremely bad and Ashley received a large drain as well. Tazz nods and tells her that they will need some time to regain their powers but he feels that they do not have the time. As they continue to talk about it, the alarm sounds and Tommy tells them that Saberfox is back with a new friend. Hayley informs them that it is a monster known as Skyscraper, who the ninja force team destroyed, and he is already at zord size. Conner suggests using the dino zords, but Hayley tells him that they are currently offline and that it will take some time to reactivate them. Hayley suggest that the Dino Thunder team use the Beast Megazord while the Jedi Knights use the Assault Megazord. Tommy agrees that it would make a great substitute. Tazz nods and the ten rangers power back up and teleport into the two Megazords, which are already in rout to the battle.

Tommy tells Tazz to keep Saberfox busy as they take out Skyscraper and then they can help take out Saberfox. Tazz agrees and the two zords stand back to back, as the monsters circle them. The monsters rush the zords and as if they controlled both by a remote, both zords move out of the way at the exact same time to cause both monsters to collide into each other. The zords grab the two monsters and strike them in the back. Conner uses the hydro cannons to hit Skyscraper before he is able to get up. Tommy tells him to use a hyper-dive attack to finish off the monster. The zord grabs the monster and takes off into the air.As the Beast Megazord lifts Skyscraper into the air, Tazz calls for the jedi saber and using a lightning speed attack slices through Saberfox. Conner pilots the Beast Megazord back towards earth and lines up with the staggering Saberfox. As the zord powers Skyscraper into Saberfox, they both explode at the same time. Tazz and Conner use the zords to high-five as they finish off the monsters. Tazz knows that the teamwork was a major part of the destruction of Saberfox.

At base, the dino thunder team sits and waits as Tazz and Tommy talk quietly to each other. Tazz tells Tommy that the team is very well off and if he and Hayley need to lead the dino team again then they should not hesitate. Tommy nods and knows that the return of the Zeltrex energy signature cannot be a good thing. Tommy agrees that the two teams will need to work separately to defend earth from an added threat. They walk over to where everyone is sitting and standing around talking. Tommy tells the dino team that their time as rangers is not finished. He explains that Zeltrex or a clone may have returned several days prior. Tazz mentions that he and Samantha have been tracking it but cant figure out what it is going to do. Conner asks how he could return if they destroyed him. Tommy explains that an energy source has reappeared outside Angel Grove that matches Zeltrex but it could be something else. Conner nods and tells the team he is committed to fighting any evil that threatens them. Kira and Ethan agree and put their hands on Conner’s outstretched hand. Trent, knowing he would have to give up art school, is hesitant but tells them he cannot turn his back on his friends nor a threat from Zeltrex. He adds his hand just before Tommy places his hand on the stack. Tommy tells them that with the technology they have gained from the Jedi Knights he will be able to make great improvements to their abilities. Tazz hands all the Dino rangers teleportation units and tells them to call if they need anything. They nod as they teleport to the Dino Lab to prepare for a new threat. Hayley says her goodbye and tells Tazz she will help any time they need her. She explains that the surveillance probe is ready and he only needs to find a safe place for it. He nods and thanks her. She teleports and the team is left alone with Samantha and Jason. Tazz looks at Jason for an indication on if he would be leaving too now that Tommy was gone. Jason tells them that he is not leaving and will help just as he has done in the past. Tazz thanks him as he heads upstairs with Samantha to have a well overdue dinner.

-Episode 13 Invisible Threat-

Tazz calls the other rangers to the base to inform them about a new energy source that they detected in Crystal Bay. As he waits for them to arrive, he watches slow motion footage of the park and forest border. Ashley and Danielle arrive from their home that they just moved to the day before. He tells them that they may be in for a shock when the others get there. Tazz turns to face them when Justin and Shawn arrive; he tells them that Samantha has detected a major energy source of evil around the forest border. Tazz explains that the signature of the energy matches an ancient monster that he found in the morphing grid. He explains that Zordon originally fought the monster long ago, but never destroyed him. The four of them look at him confused until he explains that Zordon was once a ranger and he was the one that confined Rita to the space dumpster. Justin asks if modern rangers may have fought the monster as well or if it has only attacked once. Tazz tells him that he is unsure if Crininja has ever fought a modern ranger team. Jason walks in and tells them that according to the morphing grid, Crininja has been in a deep sleep since Zordon originally captured Rita. He tells them that Zordon spared the monster when they captured Rita and he feels that this monster may be a serious threat when it decides to strike. Shawn asks if they will be able to defeat him alone if Zordon did not defeat him. Jason tells them that with the new technology and their jedi training, he feels that they have a chance at destroying him than any other ranger team from the past. They nod knowing that even if they cannot destroy him, they may be able to capture him or force him back into exile. With no warning, the alarm sounds and Samantha interrupts Tazz and Jason. She tells the team that Serpentine has just appeared in the downtown square of Crystal Bay with buggers and what appears to be the psycho rangers. Tazz looks at the monitors and slams his fist down. The team looks up startled and Justin asks if they are real or copies of the images. Not wanting to waist time, he tells them that they are copies. Tazz asks himself why every villain he has battled uses the psycho rangers to attack. The four stands up and activate their speed-morphers. They power up into their Jedi-suits and teleport to downtown.

Earlier in the day, Serpentine completes the extraction of Crininja from a tomb that buried him centuries ago. Cheetah walks up and tells him that the psycho rangers are ready for their attack and she awaits his orders. Serpentine nods and tells her to take Crininja back to their layer so he Serge can revive the sleeping monster. Cheetah asks him if he expects her to carry the tomb. He laughs and tells her that he does not care how she gets it back, but it will be her head if she does not. Cheetah swallows hard and then tells Niño and her slaves to grab the tomb and return to the layer immediately. They obey and return with the tomb. As Cheetah and her slaves work with Serge to revive the monster, Serpentine examines the psycho ranger clones. Niño explains that Serge used buggers to form them as he had done with the second set of monsters they supplied Saberfox. Serpentine nods in approval and asks if Serge may know where the lost galaxy rangers hid the data cards. Niño tells him that they have no idea where they cards are but he feels that the current rangers may have them. Serpentine grows and tells Niño to have Serge prepare a monster to attack the city within the hour. Niño nods and leave to tell Serge about the attack. Serge explains that he has a monster ready and will attack on Serpentines command. He overhears Serge and nods in approval. He leaves and returns to his chamber to ready himself for the attack. When Cheetah and Serge finish with the monsters, she walks to Serpentine’s chamber and enters. She tells him that Serge awakened Crininja, and released him into the woods with orders to not strike until he receives orders to attack. Serpentine stares at her before getting up from his chair. He tells her it is time to strike and for Serge to have his new monster ready. She tells him that firedemon is ready and waiting. Serpentine nods and walks over to the psycho rangers. The six of them enter the jump portal and arrive in downtown. A second jump portal opens and large groups of buggers arrive with them. Serpentine orders the buggers to attack the citizens as the psycho rangers start to destroy the central café area of the downtown square.

Shawn and the others arrive in their Jedi Suits and immediately attack the buggers and psycho rangers. At base, Samantha explains to Tazz that Shawn’s new guardian attack should be the second attack in the chain attack. Tazz nods and tells her that he will relay the message to Shawn, and for her to keep an eye on the Crininja energy source. Tazz activates his speed-morpher and teleports to the downtown square. He uses a lightning attack as soon as he arrives to strike Serpentine from behind. Serpentine turns and uses a large power wave to knock Tazz to the ground. Tazz gets to his feet shocked that Serpentine knocked him down so easily. Serpentine laughs as he slips through the jump portal. Tazz shakes his head and grabs his L-blaster. He flips it into blaster mode and takes aim at the psycho rangers. Surprised by the large amount of blaster fire the psycho rangers turn around to see Tazz land with his lightsaber. Tazz, using a force jump, fires away at the five evil rangers and as he lands, he converts his L-blaster into saber mode and slices through the blue psycho ranger. The other rangers regroup around Tazz and tell him its time to go to full power. Tazz nods and then activate their battle suits. The psycho rangers draw their swords and attack. Tazz instructs everyone to use the force sabers and lightsabers together. The team follows his lead and as they activate their lightsabers, they can feel the drain on their force powers. Shawn locks up with the first evil ranger and is able to hit him in the chest before the psycho ranger strikes him across the chest. As he gets up, he watches the same thing happen to everyone else, including Tazz. He watches as Tazz leaps back up and strikes the red psycho ranger in a crossing pattern strike with the two sabers. The other psycho rangers disappear when the explosion from the red psycho ranger engulfs them.

The team regroups and starts to return to base when Samantha informs them that a new monster appeared on the beach in the bay. Tazz tells her that they are on their way and for her to send the jedi speeders. As they race to the beach Tazz tells the others to be ready for anything. The others agree and turn into the park, which leads down to the beach. When they arrive, they sweep past the monster as they fire their speeder cannons nonstop at him. Firedemon ducks most of the shots, but Ashley’s speeder hits him several times, as he returns to a standing position, this knock him to the ground before he realizes what happens. Tazz uses the opportunity to dismount his speeder with a force jump and fire off several rounds with his L-blaster. Shawn and Ashley use force jumps that send them flying into the monster. They strike with their force sabers when they land and spin to the back of him. Justin and Danielle hit the same attack as Shawn and Ashley hold onto the monster. Tazz watches as Shawn hits the monster in the back after Justin slices through him. Using a speed attack, Tazz slices through Firedemon with his lightsaber. The team regroups and watches as the four remaining psycho rangers return with more minions and buggers. Firedemon returns to his feet and laughs before telling the psycho rangers to attack. Tazz tells the team to attack the psycho rangers and do what they can to destroy them. The team nods and attacks with no hesitation. Tazz draws his lightsaber attacks firedemon. Shawn attacks the psycho rangers and slices through them. The others follow suit and strike with swift uppercuts using their lightsabers. The four of them regroup and Justin tells them to finish them off immediately. They draw both sabers and use speed attacks to slice through all four psycho rangers using the crossing pattern they watched Tazz strike with earlier. They are amazed when the attack only knocks the evil rangers down and does not destroy them. Justin throws Shawn his lightsaber and Shawn powers up to Jedi Guardian Mode and uses his sonic attack with a the two lightsabers. He slices through the black psycho ranger and watches him explode. Justin is next to attack and uses the same attack on the blue psycho ranger. He fills a rush of energy and can feel the guardian power up coming to him. He powers up as the girls do and they use their combined powers to attack the two remaining psycho rangers. As he hits the two psycho rangers with his waterspout attack, combined with the two lightsabers, the girls fire their energy ball and the remaining psycho rangers explode.

Tazz meanwhile, continues to fight firedemon with little success using his force saber. He strikes repeatedly through the monsters armor but is unable to do anything but get frustrated. As the others finish off the psycho rangers, they know they need to help Tazz. Shawn uses a force push to separate Tazz from the monster. They regroup and are shocked when it disappears. Tazz shakes his head and tells the others to return to base. Shawn asks if he is ok but he gets no answer. Tazz looks at them and then teleports into a clearing that has been set up for meditation, and being alone with nature. The others look at each other confused and then teleport back to base to find out more about what is going on. Tazz powers down and kneels down on the buried rock that sits in front of a small waterfall. With his legs tucked under him, he closes his eyes and points his face to the ground as he sends himself into deep thought. He whispers to himself and thinks about how he cannot control his temper around the other rangers and especially in battle. Sensing someone in the area, he jumps up quickly and takes a defensive fighting stance. He is surprised when he sees Katherine Hillard walking up to him in the clearing. He asks her what she is doing in Australia and more importantly on Tasmania. She explains that she is visiting family and friends in Sydney and she needed some time to think and she knew the meditation field that her father built when she was a baby would be the perfect spot. She explains that she told Tommy about the clearing after they left the Turbo Rangers. She tells him that only a ranger would know about the location and only a ranger could get to the location. Tazz asks her how she got to it if only rangers can. She smiles and tells him that former and active rangers use the area. She explains that she was surprised to see someone in the area considering that no one used it in over four years. She asks him why he came to be alone as an active ranger. He explains about the past few weeks and how he has lost his temper when morphed and unable to easily defeat monsters that he should have no problem destroying. She asks why he traveled all the way to Tasmania just to think about that. He tells her that it is far enough away from Crystal Bay that he will not be attacked by one of Serpentine’s monsters. She nods and tells him that she often got frustrated but that it was part of being a ranger. He nods and asks her if she was satisfied with the job, she did and the legacy she left as the pink ranger. She tells him that she was very happy with it and that she only regretted her relationship with Tommy ending in 2001 after she became pregnant with their son. Tazz smiles knowing that the future of her son is an amazing but says nothing to her about it. He explains that Tommy became a ranger again in 2004 when Mesagog attacked Reefside. She is shocked and asks if Tommy is still in Reefside. He nods and tells her that he was the black dino ranger and with the return of Zeltrex, he has taken that role again. She looks confused and asks how their can be so many ranger teams. Tazz tells her that his abilities with the force allowed him to recharge the dino crystals and give them their powers back for a short time. She nods and thanks him for the information. He smiles and tells her that if she returns with him to his base she would receive another surprise. Kat agrees but ask if they can teleport to her home first so she can get something that Tommy may want back. Tazz agrees and teleports them to Angle Grove and then to Crystal Bay after retrieving a wooden box that looks like it is designed to hold swords. When they arrive, both Justin and Kat are shocked to see each other. They hug and smile at each other. Tazz explains to the others that he had to clear his mind and Kat discovered him meditating. Each ranger is happy to meet her and smiles when Tazz explains that she was the second pink ranger. As Samantha shakes her hand, Jason appears behind Kat and taps her on the shoulder. She turns around and is shocked that he is there. Happy to see her he explains that he must cut the reunion short. Tazz looks at him as he explains that firedemon has attacked downtown and stopping him takes priority. Tazz nods and they morph directly into Jedi Guardian Mode. Tazz instructs Justin to handle the minions and buggers while they chain attack firedemon. Justin does not object and draws his lightsaber to allow the others some time. Tazz draws his lightsaber and attacks. As he hits the monster, he feels a sharp strike to his ribs. Firedemon is able to avoid the lightsaber and lands a strong punch into Tazz. Shawn sees Tazz go down and launches his sonic attack that slices straight through the monster three times before the girls release their combined energy ball. Tazz watches as the ball hits the monster and does not destroy him. Justin rushes to help and grabs the double bladed lightsaber from Tazz. He uses a force jump and in mid air positions himself into a spinning ball. He holds the lightsaber horizontal as he spins through Firedemon. As he lands behind the monster, he slices through him again with the lightsaber and a large explosion erupts around the monster. Justin helps Tazz up and nods to him before another explosion reveals an enlarged monster. Tazz calls for the Beast Megazord in flight mode.

Serpentine sits and watches the battle trying to figure out what he can do to defeat the ranger’s guardian mode. Cheetah suggests that they use Crininja to attack the rangers if they defeat Firedemon. He thinks for a moment and watches his monster survive the chain attack. He tells cheetah to let the rangers have the victory and if they win, he adds that another time will favor the ninja to attack. Cheetah nods and excuses herself as Justin destroys the monster. Serpentine uses the regeneration grenades and lets his monster grow.

The team enters the Beast Megazord’s cockpit to find it has changed. Tazz notices that the guardian symbols are now on the control panels. As Firedemon attacks, they waist no time in firing the cannons located on the zords arms. Tazz lands the zord behind the fallen monster and picks him up. The team activates guardian mode on the Megazord and are amazed when the colors of the zord change from orange to white. Tazz has the zord grab the monster and fly up into the air. He aims for the bay and slams the monster into the shallow water. With perfect timing, they activate the guardian saber and charge it with Justin’s waterspout attack. The zord flies down to within inches of the water and turns towards Firedemon. They rip through the monster and land to watch the triple explosion from the elements that made up the monster. Tazz nods and tells the team that they did everything right. They return the zords to their bay and then return to base. Tazz smiles when he enters the base and finds Jason and Kat waiting on him. Tazz thanks Jason for staying with her and then takes her upstairs until he can contact Tommy. She smiles and follows him up the stairs as the others power down and agree to meet for the karate fundraiser the next day. They teleport home and relax as Tazz calls Tommy. Tazz dials the phone number for Tommy’s cell phone and waits for him to answer. When he answers, Tazz notices the relief in Tommy’s voice. He asks how the search for Zeltrex is going and Tommy explains that it has just started. He tells Tazz that he has Conner, Ethan and Kira investigating the current location of the energy source. Tazz shakes his head and tells him that he understands the frustration. He then reveals that he has another reason for calling. Tommy asks what the social call is truly for in a confused voice. Tazz explains how he used the mediation clearing earlier in the day and that Kat was their too. Tommy is speechless until Tazz tells him that Kat is sitting in the living room with him and he believes that they need to talk. Tommy is reluctant but agrees to teleport their shortly. Tazz smiles and hangs up the phone. He tells Kat that Tommy is on his way there. He adds that for privacy, they can talk down in the base. She thanks him and smiles as she walks downstairs with a chair that Tazz provides for one of them to sit in. Jason joins Tazz upstairs and asks if it is a good idea to let them talk after what happened in 2001 and considering Tommy has apologized for leaving her stranded. Tazz explains that the only way to get them to mend their relationship is for them to talk. He knows that he must do this in order for future events to happen. Jason nods and says goodbye as he heads out to his car in the driveway.

Character updates

Tommy finds himself returning to action as the black dino ranger when Zeltrex returns to destroy information about the rangers in Angel Grove. He also is forced to face his past when Kat returns with Tazz from Tasmania. He learns new information about their son Sam and Kat's plans to return to Angel Grove when she finishes her visit with her family in Sydney.

Hayley returns to the Dino Rangers when Zeltrex returns to Angel Grove. She hands the rains over to Samantha in the base and hopes to return when the time is right. She also continues to monitor the situation with the zords and the abnormal energy readings.

Samantha Owen graduated with Tazz from Angel Grove High before moving on to college and then a life of her own. She spends several years searing for Tazz when she learns of each new ranger team that comes along to save the planet. In 2005 her search returns her to Angel Grove and Reefside. She learns in early 2006 that Crystal Bay is under attack and quickly moves her search there. Knowing Tazz is one of the few rangers that can use many different weapons she monitors activities in the city and watches each of the ranger battles closely. She contacts Tazz after locating the Karate School and learning his phone number. She is quiet until she needs to be outspoken. She is very generous and when Hayley leaves to help the Dino Rangers she takes over command of the base. She is a wiz with surveillance, energy signatures and many other technical aspects of the computers in the base.

[Tazz Davis]

-Episode 14 The Message-
Serpentine enters the room and tells Cheetah that he is tired of Serge and Niño not getting anything right yet. Cheetah explains that they are not to blame entirely for the failures. She continues by telling him that the rangers have many tricks that they did not know about when they first appeared. Serpentine glares at her as she adds that their information about the Jedi from the future was not accurate and the rangers seem to have totally contradicted everything that she knew about them. She adds that the Dino Thunder Rangers were an unexpected help but from what she has seen from Zeltrex they will not be helping the Jedi Knights anymore. Serpentine looks at her and says nothing for a moment. As she starts to speak, he stops her and tells her that if she does not create a monster that can counter the rangers chain attack, as well as the force attacks, he will personally destroy her from the all of history. She swallows hard and nods in understanding. She watches him walk away and pound the wall as he enters his chamber. She looks around the room and then walks quickly to Serge’s workshop. She tells Serge that they are running out of options when it comes to monsters that can challenge the rangers. Serge agrees and offers her his latest creations that he has laid out on the workbench. She refuses to use any of them and tells him to retrieve a large block of ice and her Vector sword. He nods and leaves the workshop as she calls her cat slave into the room. The slave says nothing as Cheetah tells her to enter the right chamber. Serge returns and places the items in the left chamber along with a small water canon he had found. As the doors close and he returns to the controls of the machine they agree that the rangers are going to have cold feet fighting this monster. Cheetah pulls the first lever and instructs Serge to pull the second and finally the third. The room turns bright blue from the glow of the machine and they cover their eyes until the light dies down. The chamber door opens and the new monster steps out. Cheetah nods and tells Serge that Ice Crusher will be a strong monster. She tells the monster to attack the park and to make sure to take plenty of buggers and minions with her. Ice Crusher nods and walks through the jump portal Cheetah has opened.

The base is quite as the team arranges a charity event at the karate school. Tazz unrolls a banner for the event and hands it up to Ashley and Samantha who are up on the ladders. As they hand the banner, Danielle comes out and tells Tazz that he has a phone call in his office. She explains that she is unsure who is calling but he said it was important. Tazz nods and walks inside to answer the call. Ashley asks Danielle to hand her the hammer and a nail so she can secure the lower corner of the banner. She smiles to her sister as she hands the requested objects up to her. As Ashley taps the nail into place, Danielle tells them that she is glad so many students showed up for the event. Ashley agrees and tells her that even older students have shown up after being absent for some time. Samantha tells her that if most of the students showed up, than they will meet their goal for both the new building and the children’s hospital in Reefside. Inside Tazz walks to his office and picks up the phone not sure who could be calling him. On the other end of the phone, the male voice is low and precise on his words. He tells Tazz that Crininja is a stronger threat than anyone can imagine. He explains that if he does not destroy Crininja, the world will be plunged into a time of darkness that even Serpentine cannot imagine or cause alone. Tazz asks how they can fight a monster that if so powerful and that they never can track through his energy. The voice tells him that Crininja will not stay hidden during Serpentines attacks and he could appear if he feels he can take advantage of the situation. Tazz tells him that he cannot leave the others to fight Crininja during an attack. The voice cuts him off and tells him that the rangers will be able to fight Crininja when the time is right and not before. The line goes dead and Tazz looks at the phone confused. He wonders how the person on the other end knew about him being a ranger and how he knew about Serpentine and Crininja. He thinks for a moment about how he felt the cold chills during the last fight as if someone took all the force away from the area. He ponders if someone inside Serpentines circle of cohorts could be responsible for the call but then thinks about how no one would just turn and decide to help the rangers. He shakes his head and walks back outside to help the others. As he makes it to the front door his cell phone rings. He hesitates answering it and sighs when he recognizes the number calling him. He answers the phone and talks to the representative from the children’s hospital. Tazz tells him that everything is set for the fundraiser and the upcoming tournament that the school is hosting in a few weeks. He talks for a few min and then hangs up the phone, placing it back in his pocket. He walks outside and tells the others that everything looks good and they should start preparing for the activities. Danielle tells him that they should start getting the students stretched and explain what they will be doing to earn money. Tazz explains that he must talk to them first in his office and points to his communicator to signal it is ranger related and very important. The team walks into the office and sits around the desk in the chairs.

Outside the karate school, two teen males walk up to the displays and laugh at the thought of giving away money to a group of karate students. Jason walks up to them and recognizes Trevor from Angel Grove. He asks if Trevor is Skulls brother and gets a smart remark for an answer. Jason asks if they would like to sponsor one of the students for the sparing exhibition. The two teens laugh and smart off again, about how they do not give away money. Jason shakes his head and then comments, to no one in particular, that it would be a shame for Skull to sponsor a student and his little brother not sponsor one. Trevor walks up to Jason and tells him that he has never told anyone that he was Skulls brother except for the fat teen standing next to him. Jason explains that Skull was a bully in high school at Angel Grove and has since become a very respectable detective in Reefside. Trevor tells Jason not to mention Skull around him and that if Skull did give money to the school than it is his business and they will make sure that he returns it to their hands. Jason shrugs and explains that they collect the money after the event and if he did have money given to him by someone that a school bully would not receive it. Trevor looks at his friend and tells him that he needs to find some food and not the junk that the karate school is selling. The other teen laughs and shakes his head at Jason. He laughs as the two bullies try to intimidate him. The fatter of the two teens tells Jason that if he has anything to give them free of charge they want all of it. Jason shakes his head and tells them that Bulk and Skull did not intimidate him in high school and they were not going to intimidate them now. The two walk off laughing and commenting on how stupid karate is. Jason enters the building as the rangers exit Tazz’s office with concerned looks on their faces. He knows something is going on but says nothing as they pass him.

Inside Tazz’s office, he explains that Crininja is working for Serpentine, but is far more powerful and dangerous than anyone, including Serpentine, can imagine. Samantha explains that even a full chain attack will not be enough to take him down. Tazz tells them that the phone call he got earlier was someone telling him about the plot to attack with a monster and let Crininja attack at the same time. Justin is shocked and points out that he remembered that splitting up is not the best thing for them to do against monsters as powerful as these last few have been. Tazz nods and suggest that they not split up unless they absolutely have to. Justin asks if the firepower of mountain blaster and red lightning will help them get through the minions and buggers more quickly or if it is a waste to use them. Tazz thinks for a moment and tells Justin to move them to the hanger and they may be able to use them in the future. Tazz also tells the team that he has a plan on how to draw Crininja out of hiding and maybe get a fix on where he is hiding when fights are not going on. Ashley asks if they are going to be able to track him if he goes through a jump portal. Samantha tells her that the jump portal will be impossible to track but she does not believe he is using jump portals like Cheetah and the others. Danielle and Ashley look at each other and shrug but remain silent until Tazz finishes. The team is amazed that the plan is so simple but could fall apart with no effort. Samantha reassures them that she will do what she has to do in order to track Crininja. The team nods to each other and tells Tazz that they will be ready whenever needed. Tazz tells them that he will let them know when there is an attack by Crininja or any monster from Serpentine. The team thanks them for the info and heads back out to start the fundraiser with concern in their faces. Tazz and Samantha agree that she needs to return to base and continue monitoring the situation. Tazz watches as she teleports out of the office and then returns outside to finish his final preparations.

As Tazz exits the office, Jason stops him and informs him about the two teens from earlier but does not offer much detail about what they said to him. Tazz nods and thanks him for letting him know as he heads to set up chairs in the viewing area next to the bleachers. As he places the last folding chair on the floor, his communicator goes off. Tazz finds the other rangers outside and points to his communicator to signal them back inside. Tazz answers and Samantha tells them that a new monster has attacked the city and by the destruction, she believes it has been in the city for some time already. Tazz confirms the location and tells Jason to keep an eye on things while they take care of Serpentines latest monster. Jason nods and tells them that they are clear to morph and teleport. They activate their morphers and with a fluid motion, they bring the parts together and morph. Before the morph completes they teleport to the park where they find Ice Crusher freezing anything in sight with her ice cannon. Tazz tells the others to use caution but not to waist time. The team nods as a group of minions attack them. Each ranger attacks and counters the minions in groups for five and six. Tazz fights a group with kicks and punches until two buggers jump him from their position a tree where they were hiding. Tazz is able to duck out of the way, but the minions hit him from behind. Not wanting to get frustrated he uses a force lighting attack on the group and laughs when only the buggers are left. As Tazz turns his focus to the buggers, the other rangers slice through the minions with force attacks and saber strikes. Ashley uses a force ball to hit the final minion, but before she can fire, a bugger hits her from behind. The force ball goes by the minion and hits Ice Crusher in the shoulder. The monster looks around and is amazed that the buggers attacked when she instructed them to. The team regroups as only a few of the buggers remain. The team draws their lightsabers and each take one of the remaining buggers. As they finish off the buggers, they notice a new bugger appear with a blue glow to it. Tazz pauses and watches as Shawn uses a torpedo kick to attack the glowing bugger. Tazz notices that nothing they strike the bugger with has an effect on it. While the other rangers fight the bugger, Tazz turns his focus to Ice Crusher and using his lightsaber strikes at the monsters right shoulder. Ice Crusher blocks the blade and as she tries to force Tazz to break the locked up blades, he kicks her in the chest. She catches his foot and with only one hand yanks it in a downward motion that takes him to the ground. Tazz kicks the monsters knees as he falls and lands on his stomach, as he is able to turn over from the fall. The monster stumbles back and allows Tazz to regroup with the team. He is amazed that the bugger has not been defeated and tells the team that it is time for them to power up. The team nods and activates their Guardian Mode. Tazz uses a speed attack on the bugger and strikes him with the double bladed lightsaber. He is amazed when the bugger explodes on the second pass of the saber.

At base, Samantha tracks the progress of the rangers as well as the emergence of Crininja from the forest. She is amazed how he can move with no sound and his look is completely different from any other known monster that has attacked the any set of rangers. She watches as he moves closer to the battle without anyone in the park seeing him. Tazz and the others are unaware when Crininja is only yards from the battle they are fighting. Samantha watches as the rangers activate their guardian mode and the reaction of Crininja when Tazz destroys the bugger with only the first attack of the chain attack. She tracks him until he slips into the forest where she is only able to track his energy.

Ice Crusher laughs as the rangers and tells them that they will not defeat her so easily. Justin tells her to do her worse. She fires off three beams of Ice that create large towers of ice when they hit the ground. Tazz draws his jedi saber and dagger and calls for his flame attack. Ice Crusher avoids the fire by quickly erecting a wall of ice to block it. Shawn uses his sonic attack to strike the monster down. As he hits the attack, Tazz uses his double strike speed attack and Justin follows with his waterspout attack that sends a funnel of water through the monster. The heat of Tazz’s lightsaber flipping through the monster prevents the monster from freezing the water. The girls are able to hit their combined force ball and watch as the explosion engulfs the monster. Ice Crusher laughs as the fireball dissipates and the rangers are shocked as they realize the monster is still standing. Tazz pulls his L-blaster and fires off an entire energy cell of ammo. The monster stumbles because of the constant barrage of bullets. The other rangers draw their lightsabers and all use speed attacks to strike her down. Tazz waits for Danielle to slice through before using his double bladed lightsaber to strike four times through the monster. As he stands and turns back towards the monster, he watches the lightsaber return to his hand after flipping five times through the monster. Ice Crusher falls and explodes in a giant fireball. The team regroups and is not surprised when the monster grows when the regeneration grenades hit.

Samantha contacts the team and informs them that the assault zords are on their way. The team acknowledges and leaps up into their zords. They immediately activate the Megazord sequence. Tazz tells them to prepare for a high g-force attack as he activates a new program that sends the Megazord into a hyper-speed run with the jedi saber already charged for the lightning attack. Ice Crusher swings her sword and hits the shield of the Megazord before Tazz can pull the jedi saber through her. The strike from the monsters sword halts the Megazord’s momentum and causes all the rangers to hit hard against their control balls, and then throws them backwards. Tazz is able to get back to his feet and push the monster back until the others return to their feet. As they stand up, Tazz has the zord grab the monster and throw her through the air. When the monster lands she finds that she no longer has her sword and sees the Megazord coming straight at her. She fires an ice beam at the zord only to have it hit the shield and fall to the ground. Tazz powers up for the lightning attack again and strikes as the zord leaves the ground and flies through the air at hyper-speed through Ice Crusher with no effort. When the Zord lands Ice Crusher falls to the ground in a spectacular fireball. The team congratulates and high fives each other before returning the zords to their holding bay and returning to base.

Serpentine walks up to Cheetah and asks her why her monster failed twice. She explains that she only failed after taking a full energy cell of bullets that Tazz fired in less than five seconds and when she could not defend herself. She tells him that she has learned from what happened and her next monster will not have the same weakness. Serpentine tells her that he will decide on the next monster that attacks Crystal Bay and for her to do nothing but find out why Crininja insist on not following their directions to stay away from the battles until he gives the signal for a sneak attack. He turns to walk away as the workshop door opens and Serge tells Cheetah that beehive is ready to attack the rangers. She looks at him and nods. She instructs him to put the attack on hold until Serpentine gives the word to attack. He nods and looks confused but does not say anything. He returns to the workshop and the door closes. Cheetah sighs and thinks how thankful she is that the monster was so good and worth loosing one of her slaves over.

At base, Samantha congratulates them on drawing out Crininja and destroying Ice Crusher. The team smiles and Ashley ask if she was able to learn anything about the monster. Samantha explains that Crininja is a powerful monster that could actually be more of a threat than Serpentine. A large gulp comes from Justin and everyone turns to look at him. Tazz ask if tracking the monster is actually possible or if the forest makes it impossible like it does with their surveillance. Samantha explains that even with the probe, and reconfiguring it to track energy, she can track all movement in the forest but she is unable to distinguish what is what without them coming out of the forest and getting a lock on the exact signal. Justin asks when she set the probe up to scan for energy and not visuals. She tells him that Tazz and Hayley never intended the probe read visuals, and only need the right program to make it work properly. Tazz nods and explains that he never said anything because he did not want to reveal the true use of the probe. The team looks at him and asks if he actually meant for the probe to measure force energy in Crystal Bay when he sent it. Tazz nods and tells them that the amount of force around the area gave him a perfect spot to return to and master his jedi abilities. The team looks at each other and wonders if they were deceived in any way. Tazz tells Samantha to continue her work while they return to the fundraiser and find out how well they did on meeting the goals of the Children’s hospital and the schools goal to build the new youth center and karate school. Samantha nods and returns to watching the footage of the battle. The team teleports back to the karate school and is glad they are in time to watch the championship sparring match for the juniors.

Jason calls for the championship charity match between Alex Stone and Heather Timpson. He judges the match and after over twenty-two minutes of sparring, he calls for a halt to the match. He talks to the other judges as the crowd and the two girls wait for the diction. He returns to the center of the ring and announces Alex the winner of the contest. Tazz smiles, as he knows that it was a hard diction and for someone like Lt. Stones daughter to win it was cool. Lt Stone claps for his daughter as Jason and Justin both see him. They look at each other and then walk over to him before the awards ceremony starts. Justin taps him on the shoulder and tells him that he is glad he finally has come to watch his daughter. Lt. Stone thanks them for the opportunity and explains that it is good to see them again, after what happened in Angel Grove. They nod and walk away. Jason gives Tazz the results of all the events and watches proudly as Tazz hands each contestant the respective prize for their accomplishments. After handing Alex her grand champion trophy, Tazz announces that the event raised over five thousand dollars for the children’s hospital and another thirteen thousand dollars for the new youth and karate center that has started to go up over by the high school. He adds that with the bake sale and the concessions sold during the day add an additional five thousand dollars for the two causes to split. He congratulates everyone and invites every one to the state tournament the school is hosting in two weeks. He has Jason stand next to him and say anything. Jason thanks everyone again and tells them that if everything goes as they have planed the new youth and karate center will open on the first day of public school All the students cheer and high-five each other. Tazz and Jason walk over to the team and smile, as they know everything is set now that the fundraiser is over. Tazz tells Jason that he is sorry that everything happened while he was away but he knows that the school was safe while he was gone. Jason thanks him and pats him on the back.

-Episode 15 Illusions-

Tazz turns his computer screen on and smiles when he notices the message waiting on him from Dr. Mercer. He reads the long message about the new power supply for the Dino Zords. Tazz types a message back explaining that the Zeo crystal would be a perfect power supply and that he is sure that it would not deplete the other zords of power. He then closes the message box and then opens a new game he purchased the day before. As he works his way through the first level, his phone rings. He hits pause on the game and answers the phone on about the fourth ring. Samantha tells him that Shawn is in Angel Grove at a car show with the Cobra and that the rest of the team is planning a surprise party for his birthday at the karate school. Tazz tells her to let him know when Shawn returns and to keep everyone away from the hanger and especially Shawn. She agrees and says goodbye as he hangs up the phone. Tazz walks back over to the computer to save and exit the game. He walks down into the base and enters the hanger. He opens a steel container that has been in the base for the past few weeks. Tazz stairs at the red Dodge Dakota and is amazed at how good it looks after the destruction of the drag race. He thinks about the way that Serge tried to capture Shawn two months earlier. He thinks about how he and Tommy worked to repair the truck to its original condition. He places several freshly cut decoys on the truck, including a new one that pictured the ram logo with a figure of Shawn doing a kick over it. Tazz places the words below it and smiles as he reads it. “Karate Dodge Style” reflects off the bright red paint and Tazz knows that it is the perfect addition to the rear of the front fender. He adds the same logo and text to the driver side and then closes the containers doors before locking them. He heads back upstairs and calls Samantha. He tells Samantha that the surprise at the hanger is ready and they are to give him the letter as his final gift at the party. Samantha agrees and tells him that nothing will beat what he and Tommy have done for him.

As the team sets up, for Shawn’s birthday party, he talks to people at the car show and thinks about how none of his friends told him happy birthday before he left. He wonders if they forgot about his birthday or if they were planning something big for him. He thinks about all the things that had been going on with the karate school and with Serpentine’s attacks. He waits until the judging is over before he leaves and drives over to the juice bar and youth center. Knowing that Tazz helped design the new youth and karate center in Crystal Bay after the one in Angel Grove, he wanted to check it out. He wonders around for a moment until a student comes up to him and asks if he needed anything. Shawn tells him no and walks over to the man behind the curved bar. Ernie asks if he wanted a drink and Shawn nods. He asks for water as he turns to look at the pictures on the wall. He smiles when he sees the six pictures of the six pictures of the rangers that protected Angel Grove. Ernie returns and tells Shawn that the power rangers did a lot to keep Angel Grove safe from the monsters that use to attack. Shawn nods and tells him that he could not believe that two attacks had happened in after such a long time of no attacks. Ernie shakes his head and tells him that five new power rangers showed up to protect the city again. He scratches his head and comments about how the new rangers are using the zords that the old rangers used. Shawn smiles and tells Ernie that the new rangers are from Reefside and protected it from Mesogog two years earlier. Ernie tells him that he is just glad they are protecting against the new threat. Shawn nods as he finishes the water and stands up. He looks one more time at the Turbo ranger picture and knows Justin is the one under the blue helmet. He thanks Ernie and leaves before anyone can ask him more questions. Ernie smiles and wonders how the person knew so much and why he had so much interest in the six photos on the wall that no one paid any attention to for several years. He shrugs it off and walks over to a group of teens sitting at the other end of the bar. Shawn walks to the Mustang and gets in. He drives out of town and thinks about the history the rangers had in Angel Grove and how the Dino Thunder Rangers are protecting that history from destruction. He calls Tazz and tells him about the car show. He explains how he did in the competition and tells him about the great cars that beat him. Tazz congratulates him and then ask him to stop by Tommy’s house and pick up a prototype control device for the zords. Shawn agrees and tells him that he will be at the house around four o’clock. Tazz tells him to bring the device to the karate school if it going to be that late when he gets back. He agrees and hangs up the cell phone. Tazz smiles and hangs up his phone before turning to Samantha and telling her everything is set.

Cheetah and Serge are in the forest talking to Crininja about staying away from the attacks until Serpentine instructs him to attack. Crininja tells them that he does not take orders from anyone, and if they think Serpentine can tell him what to do just because he helped revive him from the deep sleep he was in, he is sadly mistaking. Cheetah asks why he defies their wishes. He tells them that his powers are unmatched by anyone or anything on earth. Cheetah looks at him and insists for him to work with them and not against them. Crininja is insulted, grabs her by the neck, and lifts her off the ground. Serge watches and knows that scared is an understatement for what she is feeling by what is happening. Crininja offers the two a compromise to their foolish plan. He tells them to work with him and he will help them create monsters that are even more powerful than anything created before. Cheetah, still held by the neck off the ground, nods and asks if he plans on an all out assault on earth. He tells them that if they do not work with him to destroy earth than he will destroy them and the rangers himself. The two agree and ask what they should do about Serpentine and his plans. He tells them to act as if nothing abnormal is going on. He adds that he will contact them soon about an attack. Serge asks if he has a monster ready or can contribute to a monster to attack. He glares at them as he throws Cheetah to the ground and walks off. When they return, Serpentine asks them if Crininja will follow orders from now on. Cheetah nods and tells him that he will only attack on her command and wishes permission to scout the rangers more during attacks. Serpentine thinks for a moment and then agrees to the change but adds that he is not to interfere until told to. Cheetah tells Serpentine that she will relay the message. He nods at her and tells Serge to release Beehive at the harbor during the party the rangers are throwing for Shawn. Serge agrees and goes to prepare the monsters’ weapons.

Shawn arrives at Tommy’s house and goes inside. He opens the dino’s jaw and walks down into the Dino Lab to retrieve the briefcase that contains the new control device. Tommy turns around in the leather chair and welcomes him. Shawn asks if the prototype is going to help them use both zords at once. Tommy hands him the metal briefcase with the Dino Thunder logo on one side and a symbol Shawn does not recognize, but he does realize that it has a lightsaber hilt engraved into the design. Tommy explains that he must be careful traveling back to Crystal Bay because the device looks a lot like a bomb to someone like a police officer. Shawn nods his head and walks back to his car. He opens the trunk and moves things to make space. Not wanting to draw attention to the case, he places it in the trunk and then pulls out of the driveway. On the way to Crystal Bay, he thinks how odd Tommy was acting when he quickly turned the monitors off at the Dino Lab. He wonders what Tommy could be hiding and if he should talk to Tazz about it. He ponders if everyone is out doing their own things for the day or if they are helping plan something for his birthday. He puts his thoughts out of his head and enjoys the drive back home.

As Four o’clock approaches, the rangers gather in the back room of the karate school with Hayley and the Dino Thunder Rangers. Tommy teleports in and tells Tazz that Shawn acted a hesitant when taking the case from him. Tazz nods and ask if he suspects anything from everyone not saying anything to him all day. Tommy tells him that Shawn did not even mention that it was his birthday. Tazz nods and closes the door to the room. Shawn pulls into the parking lot and is confused when he sees none of the other rangers’ vehicles around. He walks in to find David teaching a small class of juniors and Tazz’s office door closed. As he passes the door to the main workout room, David tells him that Tazz is in the back room teaching a private session and for him to go on in. Shawn nods and walks into the room and finds everyone waiting on him. He looks at them and shakes his head in disbelief. He hears them all yell happy birthday to him and smiles as Ashley walks over to him and hugs him. She tells him that she was worried he would find out but is glad he did not. Shawn smiles and thanks them as he looks directly at Tommy and Tazz. He looks at the case in his hand and asks what is really in the case. Tazz tells him that it actually is a prototype device but he felt that teleporting it would be to dangerous. Shawn nods and opens it up to make sure. When he looks inside, he sees the device with a note on it. He reads the note and laughs when he gets to were it tells him to expect the unexpected. Shawn looks around the room and smiles as they hand him gift after gift to open up. He opens each gift and looks confused when Justin hands him the envelope that Tazz prepared to inform him that they repaired the truck. Before he can open it, the communicators go off creating silence with all the rangers. Shawn shakes his head and jokes that he knew a fight would happen on his birthday. Tazz nods and the morphs leaving Samantha and the Dino Thunder team in the room alone. When they leave, Samantha suggests that they return to the base to monitor the battle.

The rangers arrive at the harbor and a large group of buggers jumps them. Tazz uses a force push to get the team some room to defend themselves. Ashley and Shawn draw their force sabers and slice through buggers as they start coming back towards the team. Tazz uses a lightning attack as Justin hits one with a stiff left footed sidekick. Danielle starts to fight several buggers on her own until it forces her to move back against a large tree. She uses a force jump and as she rebounds off the large trees trunk. As she rebounds, she grabs her blaster and fires off a full energy cell of ammo. The buggers explode and she lands on her right foot and left knee. She reloads her blaster cell and fires several shots at the buggers that are fighting Ashley and Shawn. Shawn is able to break away from the buggers and attacks Beehive using his lightsaber. The monster is unable to block the speed attack and stumbles back as he feels the impact in the chest. Tazz destroys the remaining buggers and hits Beehive with a lightning attack. Beehive responds by firing a bright yellow beam at him and just barely misses. Shawn realizes that none of their normal attacks will work against the monster. He watches as the other rangers each hit the monster with force and lightsaber attacks. Shawn contacts Tommy and asks if he had anything similar to the z-rex blaster for them to use against Beehive. Tommy responds with the assault cannon. Shawn thanks him and then yells for Tazz to activate the cannon. They yell for the cannon and Tazz places the energy cell into the chamber. They are surprised at the size of the cannon and as they position themselves to hold it for firing. The team fires the cannon and a large fireball of energy at the monster and as it hits the monster creates a large electrical surge around him. The team is shocked that the cannons energy destroys the monster but creates thousands of bees that start to swarm around the fireball. Shawn comments that he feels a disturbance in the force from the monster they just destroyed. Tazz agrees, but before he can turn to determine where the force disturbance is coming from, Cheetah hits him from behind with a fling sidekick. The team quickly responds to the sneak attack and Cheetah tells them that they got lucky against Beehive. Tazz tells her that no monster will be able to destroy them or Crystal Bay. Cheetah laughs as Crininja walks up beside her. The team is in disbelief as the two villains stand side by side. Tazz starts to use a force lightning attack on them when Cheetah slips through the jump portal and disappears. Crininja takes the lightning attack and then fires it back at the rangers. He laughs as he walks away from them and disappears in the maze of crates and boxes.

Before the rangers can go after him, Beehive reappears in his enlarged state and begins stomping trying to crush the team. Samantha warns Tazz that Crininja is the one that enlarged Beehive and not Serpentine. Tazz confirms and calls for the Guardian Megazord. Before leaping into the zords, the team activates guardian mode and activate the new control device that Tommy had been working on. Tazz fires the hydro cannons and pushes the monster back. Beehive returns fire with the beam of yellow plasma. The beam hits the zord and the rangers try to recover from the blast. Shawn arms the Jedi Blaster and tells Tazz that it is fully charged and set to full power. Tazz nods to him and fires off the first cell of shots, as they hit the monster he stagers and then charges towards the Megazord. Tazz reacts quickly and lands a hard punch with the zords right fist into Beehive’s chest. He hits Beehive again with the left fist and the space between the zord and Beehive increases. Tazz arms the Jedi saber and launches a flight lightning attack. The saber pierces through the chest of the monster and the resulting explosion destroys the monster. The team high-five each other as they return to the zord bay.

At the karate school, the team returns to finish the birthday party that Beehive interrupted. Shawn opens the envelope and pulls out several large photos of his Dakota after the drag race. He reads the letter and then sees the keys that they taped to the bottom of the letter. He looks up at everyone and then looks at the pictures. Samantha waits for the signal from Tazz to teleport everyone back to base. Shawn asks what is going on and why they moved his truck to a shipping crate and not the junk yard. No one answers, as Samantha teleports to the hanger and in front of the crate. The ten rangers stand around and listen to Samantha explain that the crate is the reason that they have not been allowed in the hanger. Tazz tells Shawn that one key opens the lock and the other is to what is inside. Shawn nods and unlocks the pad lock before opening the doors. He says nothing as he looks at the restored truck. Tazz ask if he is ok and if he thought he would ever see it running again. Shawn turns to them and smiles at all of them, he tells them that it is the best thing anyone had ever done fro him. Ashley smiles and hugs him again. She tells him that it was hard to keep secretes like this from him, but she knew that he would appreciate the surprise. Shawn thanks everyone for his gifts and fore keeping the truck a surprise. He starts the truck and drives it out of the container and into the center of the hanger. He revs the truck repeatedly, enjoying the sound of it and smiles as he turns it off. He gets out of the truck and admires it from every angle. Tazz thanks Tommy for his help then turns to Trent and whispers something in his ear that gets a smile out of him. Shawn thanks everyone again as they all start to check out the truck closer.
