12x28 - The Passion of Conner

[bunniefuu]

There she is.
The future Mrs Conner McKnight.

You might want to give yourself
a reality check once.

Dude, don't be a hater.

- Just because I've got the magic.
- I'm with Ethan on this one.

I know Krista from math class.

She's kinda deep, and you're, well...

- Not deep?
- I didn't want to say it.

You guys are supposed to back me up.

Where's the love?

Now observe.

- Krista, right?
- Yep, that's me.

Hey, wait. I wanted to ask you
about... your poster.

So there's a tree that needs saving?

Yeah. Behind the school.
It is over years old.

Randall wants to tear it out
to make a new parking lot.

- That seems like such an injustice!
- It's a crime against nature.

This tree has been part of the
eco-system longer than any of us.

Dozens of creatures depend on it.

Where do I sign up?

Really? You wanna help?

Yeah, just tell me what to do.

I want the serum from that tree

before anyone else
discovers its secret.

Is that understood?

It will be yours.

It had better be

or you will find yourself
in the company of Zeltrax!

- But he...
- Exactly.

They all thought I could be
destroyed so easily. Fools!

I must have the serum of life
from the tree to make me strong.

Then my enemies will pay!

Save the tree! Save the tree!

Isn't this exciting? A real protest
in our own backyard.

Yeah. And for such a great cause.

Cause schmause!
I just wanna make the news.

- Come on, guys...
- You're blocking my light!

Cassidy, this is no place for posers.

If you're not here for the tree,
move on.

I'll just give publicity
to someone who appreciates it.

Devin, come on!

That's it, guys. Tie me in good.

This is symbol of my bond with nature.

There's something wrong about this.
You don't care about this tree.

She doesn't need to know that.

I just have to make it
look like I care.

Just as I thought. You can't
teach an old jock new tricks.

Do us a favour and leave this
to the people who really care.

Ouch!

Out of the way!

Get those men working!
I have permits.

OK, lady.

Kid, I got my orders.

I'm not moving!

I can't stand teenagers!

Krista!

Look out!

You OK?

Yeah. How'd you...

It's part of being an old jock!

We need to talk
before someone gets hurt.

We'll talk.

There is nothing you can say
that'll make me change my mind

but we'll have a chat.

Then we'll resume this tomorrow.

Everybody out of here! Go on, shoo!

Hey, guys, I'm still
a little bit tied up over here!

Hey! Hey, don't go!

Help me over here!

Hey, I want to apologise.
I should never have said what I did.

I don't get you.
Sometimes you seem really nice.

Other times, you're a total jerk!

Thanks.

Tell me one thing. Which is
the real Conner McKnight?

That's why I came back.
To show you.

I know what people say about me.

But there's a lot more
going on in my life.

That tree is really important to me.

I can't spend time with someone
who won't take it seriously.

I promise. As long as I'm around,
nothing will happen to that tree.

Tell the Power Rangers
Zeltrax has returned.

I would love to.

But I don't actually know where
they are. We've been looking forever.

OK, right. Zeltrax, isn't it?

- How do you spell that?
- Go!

Just a few more drops!

Well, well, well. Look what
the garbage collector dragged in!

Looks like he didn't end up
in the scrapheap after all.

There was a time I would tolerate
your insults. That time's past.

Am I supposed to be
scared of you now?

You will be!

Yes, at last! Vengeance!

You're mine!

You've been stealing the serum
from my master's tree.

It's not his tree anymore.

Stop wasting my time!

Deadwood, come forth!

I am at your command.

Excellent!

This is not gonna go over well.

Not well at all.

Where are the Power Rangers?
I have to find the Power Rangers!

- Haven't you been paying attention?
- This is serious!

I was attacked by that freak Zeltrax.

He's looking for the Rangers.
But it gets worse.

- How could it get worse?
- He stole the tree!

- Where are you going?
- Did you hear that? I have to go there.

- Yeah, but that's not a good idea.
- If you're too afraid...

No. But you should leave it to people
who know what they're doing.

You haven't changed a bit!

Dude, you know where we have to go.

Yeah, I know.

Zeltrax is back?

How's that even possible?

- What does he want with a tree?
- I can answer both those questions.

The tree must be growing over
a life-force spring.

- A fountain of youth?
- Those are real?

- Apparently this one is.
- That's what kept the tree alive?

The sap, being nourished for years
by the spring's waters,

must have amazing powers of its own.

- That's what Zeltrax is after.
- He won't be the only one.

Not only is that ingrate Zeltrax
still alive,

but you let him steal my serum!

I didn't exactly let him.
I put up a good fight.

Not good enough,
from the looks of things.

The spring's still there.
Why don't I scoop up the water?

The flow of the eco-system
has been broken.

Now the spring is useless.

I need that tree!

Look, it's Krista!

You OK?

I don't know.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm cut out
for this super-hero stuff.

- Still have doubts?
- When you see someone like Krista

who believes so strongly in what
she's doing, that nothing can stop her,

I don't know if I have that in me.

- You crack me up.
- What did I say?

You remind me of myself
when I was your age.

I had all this ability and raw emotion

but it took a while to believe
in myself, what I was capable of.

I've got confidence.

c*ck and confidence
are different things.

There's a whole world
you don't know yet.

Beyond Triassic power and Super Dino
mode, but you must believe in it.

When you do, you'll be blown away
by what you can do.

What's up? Is it Zeltrax?

No, but his friends are throwing
a welcome back party.

We casn handle the Triptoids.

Trent, stay here in case
Zeltrax makes an appearance.

You got it.

You're so predictable!

I knew I could count on you
to show up!

Attack!

Forgot about me?

What's gotten into these guys?
They're on fire!

Time to put the fire out!

What are you doing?

Use your Dino Gem power.

It creates an energy
that will deactivate the Triptoids.

- Yeah, it works!
- This is crazy!

Shocking, isn't it?

Then maximise your Dino Power.

OK. Full power!

What's going on?

- Impossible!
- Rocking!

- You've been deserted!
- You might have beaten the Triptoids,

but my master will have eternal life
as soon as I get that tree back.

Too late! You're all too late.

What now?

Zeltrax!

Yes, I'm back and better than ever!

And this time, I am not alone!

- Kirsta's tree!
- Not good!

It's over, Rangers!

Whoa! Who's in change here?

I am, and no-one will stop me.

I don't have time for this.
Destroy them all.

Of course.

Dragozord!

I'll take care of Zeltrax.
You know what to do.

Triassic power!

That's one tough tree!

Conner...

I don't think so!

Think again, Zeltrax!

Thanks, Trent.

Conner, combine all the Zords
to form Tricera-max Megazord!

Of course!

OK, Tricera-max Megazord!

All right!

- Sweet!
- Now that's a Zord!

You're going down, tree!

Turbo fire!

- My tree!
- Oh, yeah!

You played right into my hands.
Eternal life is mine!

I can't believe it's gone.

Gone, but not forgotten!

Zeltrax, haven't you done
enough damage?

I'm just getting started.
Out of my way.

Bring me the power!

- Stay back, Kirsta!
- Power Ranger!

Meddling fool!

Come with me!

Please, let me go!

You will be a lesson to anyone
who crosses me.

No! Krista!

That's right. Lead him to me!

Krista, where are you?

Krista!

Let her go!

No!

Passion doesn't just happen.
You make it grow.

All right. Now would be
a really good time.

Give me the strength!

Oh, yeah!

Battliser, power up!

Fire kick!

Super fire power!

Oh, yeah!

- Nice trick, but you're too late.
- Try me!

With pleasure!

Help!

Super stretch!

You OK? Take cover over there.

OK.

Zeltrax!

Don't go away mad. Just go away!

I will not be defeated!

Jump!

Battle punch!

Jump!

Jump!

Super stretch kick!

Had enough?

- Never!
- You asked for it!

Dragon's yo-yo!

Fire!

Cannons!

Battle blast!

Fire!

Yeah!

- All right!
- Yeah!

- Dude, that rocked!
- Yeah!

This is only a small set-back.
You can be sure of that!

We'll be ready!

The downfall in this is that Zeltrax
wiped out the eternity spring.

It could have done good for people.

Like anything good,
too much can be bad.

What'll happen to Zeltrax?
Are we through with his ugly mug?

Unfortunately, I doubt it.
Mesogog will be looking for him too.

Good news about the new tree.

Yeah, the city thought that was
better than a new parking lot!

I still miss the old one, though.

I'm really sorry it's gone.

For a minute, I could swear
you were sincere.

I know I was a jerk.
But people can change.

If you give them a chance.

Do you wanna do the honours?

- You sure?
- Yeah.

Well, to new beginnings.

To new beginnings.
