Huh?

No way. What is this?

What's going on here?

Who are you?

How did you get in here?

Capture the Ranger.

Do not destroy him.

( grunting ):
What's happening?

Alpha... Zordon.

( evil laughter )

No one can help you now,
Ranger.

Restrain him, Cogs.

( laughing )

Welcome to my palace,
Zeo Power Ranger Five.

Yes! It's working.

( laughs )

My brain drain is
finally operational.

I can go in and out of your
thoughts and memories

And bend them to my will.

You will think whatever
I want you to think, Ranger

and you will believe
anything I tell you.

My king.

Your brain drain is brilliant.

Not king... yet.

Soon I will prove
that only I have the power

to take over my father's empire.

Nothing will stand in my way.

Prince Sprocket

is no match for you.

Ah! Altor.

You called, sire?

Yes! You are to be infused
with the Zeo Ranger's powers

making you invincible!

I feel guilty coming here

when Tommy's still missing.

Look, Zordon told
us to take a break.

Billy's going to let us know

the second they find something.

Stunnig! Mind-boggling!

It was big. I mean like...

Well, listen, it was more...

What do you think's
going on here?

Who knows?

Believe me, believe me.

We saw this.
We saw it with our own eyes.

I'm telling you, we saw it.

The truth is out there, man.

You've got to be kidding.

I think you're making this up.

Making what up?

There was a light in the lake.

It was incredible.

And inside the light
was Zeo Ranger Five.

You guys saw Zeo Ranger Five?

- Mm-hmm.
- Uh-huh.

What was he doing?

He was just standing
there, staring

and the really weird
thing here is that

We could see
right through him.

Kind of creepy, huh?

You guys have been
out in the sun too long.

Why didn't they believe us?

Some detectives you are.

Where's your proof?

Proof? You want proof?

Yeah.

We'll get you proof.

Come on, Skull,
back to the lake.

We've got to get
to the lake, you guys.

We should talk to Zordon first.

Why don't we meet the others

At the Power Chamber?

Right. Let's go.

( growling and groaning )

I think Altor may be ready, dear.

Mm-hmm.

I'll check him.

Yesss.

Tell me, Archerina,
my darling

What are the results?

The transfer of Tommy's
powers is complete.

Excellent.

Altor, how do you feel?

I feel the strength
of a hundred warriors

( roaring )

Let us put your new strength
to the test.

Take your place in the arena!

( roaring )

Isn't your brother grand?

Yeah, just grand.

Your father would be so proud.

Gaskett says
he has a surprise for us.

I simply cannot wait to see

what my number one son
has planned.

Hey, but I thought I was
your number one son.

Oh, now don't be silly, dear.

You know that
you're the baby.

( cheering )

Yes, Altor. Yes!

That's the way.

Oh, look at him, Archerina.

I don't believe I've ever
seen a warrior so mighty.

Just think of what he can do.

I conquered the Cogs, sire.

I hereby declare Altor

the fiercest warrior
in the Machine Empire.

I am honored to serve you,
Prince Gaskett.

The Ranger's powers
fit Altor well.

The brain drain is
a complete success.

He seems to be awakening now.

Are you ready

to begin phase two?

Ready.

Where..?

Where am I?

Who am I?

Who are all of you?

I can't remember.

You're awake. Oh, sire.

Uh, huh.

We were so desperately

afraid for you, my liege.

Why?

I'm so happy that you're
all right, my King.

Who are you?

And what do you mean "king"?

I will explain everything,
my King.

I am your chief advisor,
Gaskett.

I'm sorry to say
that you were recently attacked

by the dreaded Power Rangers.

Your memory was damaged
in the melee.

What are Power Rangers?

They are the supreme evil

in all of the universe,
Your Majesty.

And I fought with them?

You fought them for years, sire.

I see.

The Power Rangers have been
trying to destroy everything.

Everything?

Everything
that is good, at least.

That's terrible.

Tell me, what am I king of?

The whole Machine Empire,
your Highness.

The Machine Empire?

Yeah, tell me more, Gaskett.

We of the Machine Empire

are the only thing standing
between the Power Rangers

and their plans to dominate
the universe.

I think I remember...

a little.

Hey, maybe it's starting
to come back to me.

You are the last line
of defense

for all the good beings
we protect.

Then tell me, what must I do?

I'm afraid, sire,
that you must return

to the fight immediately

for if you delay

all will be lost.

Lost?

Lost to the evil

that is the Power Rangers.

The Power Rangers
must be stopped.

TANYA: Did you find out
anything about Tommy?

bulk and skull said

they saw Zeo Ranger Five
at the lake.

Alpha, can you find him
on the monitor?

I'll scan the perimeter
of the lake.

Watch the Viewing Globe

for a visual readout.

I don't see anything.

I'm not getting a reading.

Wait. I'm beginning

to get something now.

I'm picking up
a residual brain wave pattern

it could be Tommy's, but...

but...

Wait!

What, Alpha?

The pattern's changing.

Rangers

if these are indeed
Tommy's brain waves

he's in grave danger.

What do you mean?

The brain waves
are being altered.

Tommy won't be Tommy
much longer.

I can't allow this to happen.

I'm going out there.

I'm going with you.

The rest of you must remain here

and assist Alpha
in tracking brain waves.

Right.

I'll contact Billy on Triforia
to come help us.

It's Morphin Time!

Zeo Ranger One-- Pink!

Gold Ranger Power!

There's no sign
of him anywhere.

Keep looking.

There must be something
we're overlooking here.

There's got to be

some trace of... of Tommy

or whatever it was
that took him.

Yeah.

Don't worry, Jason.

We'll find him.

We've got to, Kat.

I let Tommy down once before

and I'm not going
to let it happen again.

Gaskett... we have a report

that two of the
Power Rangers

are snooping around
our transporter area.

They must be searching

for a way to help their
red friend here.

How touching. We'll assume
they're volunteering

to become our first victims.

Maybe we can help them out.

I have a plan. Ready the
holographic entryway, my dear.

Right.

This is going
to work out perfectly.

Jason, look!

There he is!

Tommy!

Billy, we found him!

Wait!
Something's wrong.

Help me.

I don't think that's him.
Wait!

It's a trap!

( evil laughter )

Wait! Jason!

Jason! No!

Help me.

Katherine, do not enter
the holographic entryway.

You may not return.

No!

Hmm.

Hmm?

Uh-huh..

Hmm.

Skull, my friend.

We have got to
find some evidence.

There he is again.

Hey, you!

We need proof
that you're here.

( groaning )

Help me.

Huh?

Help me.

( groaning )

( screaming )

Ay-yi-yi!
What happened?

I just lost Jason on my scanner.

I will contact Billy

and advise him to return

from the Zeo Zord
repair terminal.

Zordon, I tried to stop him.

Kat, it's okay.

We've lost both of them.

What are we going

to do now?

There was another
electrical surge.

Who was it?

I have no idea

but somebody's following Jason,
wherever he went.

No offense, but
how can I be sure

you're telling me the truth?

I mean, I can't remember

a single thing,
not even my own name.

How can I trust anyone?

I understand.

Those Power Rangers

can be very tricky.

Don't take my word for it.

I will show you myself

just a small part
of the destruction

they've caused.

Behold.

I've seen enough!

I'm sorry that I had to
make you watch that, sire

but you have to remember
what you're up against here.

The Power Rangers

must be destroyed

and as king of this
mighty Machine Empire

I vow

to rid the universe
of their threat

once and for all.

The challenger

is ready.

Excellent.

Your first opponent

is arriving now, sire.

Yes. Very good.

Ready your best warrior

to destroy the Power Rangers.

( crowd cheering )

Where am i?

What is this place?

Surrender, Gold Ranger.

Tommy?

Surrender or fight.

( clamoring )

Silence!

( crowd quiets )

Soldiers of
the Machine Empire

I present to you

the Gold Ranger.

( laughs )

( jeering )

What have you done
to Tommy, Gaskett?

Ooh, my husband,
we have a new report.

Two humans

have entered the
holographic entryway.

Close it off.

Put the intruders
in a holding cell.

I'll deal with them later.

Yes, dear.

( chuckling )

Man, I sure hope
help is on the way.

( groaning )

Oh, great. Just great.

What have you gotten
me into this time?

Me?

I wasn't the one

that wanted
to get a closer look.

Oh, so this is my fault,
now, is it?

MAN:
Quiet. Enough.

Who's there?

You boys want
to argue with each other?

Or do you want
to find a way out of here?

( gasping )

( stammering )

I think I've separated
the residual life-signs enough

to identify
who was out there.

It's coming through now.

BILLY:
All right, that's Jason

but who are the other two?

( moaning )

I don't believe this.

Bulk and Skull?

We have two missing Rangers.

And two interdimensional
hitchhikers.

Well, we got to get
them out of there.

Well... we may not know
how to get them out of there

but at least we do know
how to get in.

Maybe not, guys.

The holographic entryway
has just been shut.

Now what?

Tommy, what's wrong with you?

You pathetic Ranger! Do not take
that tone of voice with the King.

The King?

Yes. I am the King
of the Machine Empire.

Oh, no.

And as king,
I will no longer tolerate

the evil of Power Rangers.

You are finished, Rangers!

( cheering )

Tommy, snap out of it!

Let the battle begin.

( groaning )

Altor

enter the ring.

( growling and roaring )

Let's go, Ranger!

( gleeful laughing )

I'm getting a residual energy
reading from the closed portal.

ZORDON:
Alpha, try and get

a lock on where
this is coming from.

I'm trying, Zordon.

Thank you for tuning in, folks.

I'd like to welcome
all the kiddies at home

to the main event.

Jason?

I hope you enjoy the show.

( gleeful laughing )

( groaning )

No. That's not it.

( groaning )

Oh...

We can't get any
reception out here.

Hey, check it out.
I got something.

Cool.

Thank you for tuning in.

- Huh? What?
- I'd like to welcome

all the kiddies at home
to the main event.

Oh! Oh... oh, look.

Rita! Zedd!

It's the Gold Ranger!

You'll never win, Gaskett.

We'll see.

Get him, Altor.

( roaring )

( yelling )

Man...

To match me move for move.

He seems to know

what I'm going to do.

( cheering )

That's it!

You transferred Tommy' powers

to this gold goon,
didn't you, Gaskett?

What are you talking about?

Tommy, bro,
are you in there?

Destroy him, Altor.

Tommy, is that you?

I am Altor!

Good. Then you've lost
Tommy's powers.

Curses!

Your plan failed, Gaskett.

Now, return Tommy to normal.

What exactly is a "Tommy"?

Listen to me, Tommy.

You're not their king.

You're my friend.

I'll have to take care
of this villain, myself.

Tommy...

This will be your
final battle, Gold Ranger.

I will remove your evil
from this world forever.

Welcome to your doom.

( laughing )

Don't do this, Tommy.

Come on, bro,
they've got you brainwashed.

You have to snap out of it.

Come on.

Let's go back.

I have no idea,
but some--

somebody is folowing Jason.

Acch!

I'm telling you, we saw it.

- One more time.
- Okay.
