Haba, wait. I don't believe it.

Tell me I'm not seeing a mirage.

How about we go over
there and see if we can--

- Come, Dolores.
- There may be treasures.

These ruins look
thousands of years old.

- Do you see any water?
- Careful.

If you fall, we may
never see you again.

Aah! Aah! Aah!

Taru!

Taru!

Taru, are you all right?

Haba! I found the ancient tomb!

Light up the torches, my friend!

Come down. Come down quick.
Be careful.

- Careful.
- Ooh! Get away.

- Ha ha ha ha.
- Look, there.

- We've got to get out of here.
- Let's open it.

Wait! What if it--
help us or get out of our way!

Push! Push harder! Harder!

Aah!

These should be sufficient,
but I'd like them double-checked.

Captain? Something's come up.

We'll finish this later.

- Father, they've escaped.
- You're sure?

It's time to bring them in.

ANNOUNCER:
Ladies and gentlemen,

let's hear it for Joel Rawlings,
the Sky Cowboy!

There you go. Who's next?

Next up will be chico page,

followd by the Doug and Paul
Pipercub Wing Riders.

Joel Rawlings?

I was doing something important.

Kelsey Winslow? Would you
come with us, please?

Who in the world are you?

Well, I hope you've
brought your umbrellas

'cause you're gonna get wet.

That was Chad Lee,
ladies and gentlemen!

Yes, ha ha!

Come on up, Daisy,
and wave for the camera.

Chad Lee?

All right, men, over there!
All right, let's go!

- I'm looking for Carter Grayson.
- That's him up there on the ladder.

Closer! Closer!

[ police radio chatter ]

Hello! Is anybody in here?

[ coughing ]

It's going to be okay. Let's go.

Right this way.
Just stay close to me.

What?

Run! Hang on tight!

- What are you doing?
- I'm a paramedic.

Don't worry.
I'll take it from here.

Okay, thanks.

We need to get her
to an ambulance!

I know this is a bad time,
but I need you to come with me.

We're free to reclaim the
Palace of Queen Bansheera.

But she's not here.

Vypra, we must care
for her son Impus.

- Who did this, Loki?
- Humans, Diabolico.

They built their cities
on top of our palace!

Just look.

They built their city
on our sacred ground!

No palace, no queen,
no ultimate power.

We will have our palace
back after we destroy

their miserable city brick by brick.

Don't tell me--

We're going in that
submarine, aren't we?

Excellent!

[ sonar pinging ]

Civilian crew and
authorized personnel

have entered
Lightspeed Aquabase.

Security clearances
checked and confirmed.

- Where are we?
- I don't know, but it's cool, huh?

[ alarm wailing ]

[ alarms stops ]

Welcome to the
Lightspeed Aquabase.

Pardon me.

I don't know who you are,
but this is ill*gal.

- This is kidnapping!
- I'm Captain William Mitchell.

None of you will be held
against your will.

- You're free to go.
- See ya!

That is... after you hear me out.

Please, have a seat.

, years ago,
this part of the Earth

was inhabited by evil spirits--
demons, if you will--

whose only purpose was
to destroy and conquer.

Luckily there was a warlock

who was strong enough
to conquer them.

Finally, the demons were
captured and entombed,

but we always feared that
one day they would escape

and would return to Mariner Bay.

Well, it seems our fears
gave come true.

Just hours ago, Nomad
travelers crossing through

the desert discovered
the tomb and released

the demons back into our world.

Lightspeed has developed
technology and highly

sophisticated weapons that
we believe can stop them.

Because of your skills,
you've been chosen

to use these weapons
to defend the city...

to become
Lightspeed Power Rangers.

You built this whole Aquabase
so that the four of us

could fight off a bunch
of angry demons?

Well, that's putting it
simply, but yes.

I heard you out.
I think you're nuts.

I'm out of here.

Wait!

- That explains it.
- What?

That fire.
When I was saving that girl,

I saw someone in the flames.

It was one of them--
one of the demons.

Father.

[ telephone beeps ]

Mitchell here.
Bring it up on the monitor.

- This city needs you.
- I'm in, sir.

- Me, too.
- I want to help.

What do we do first?

These are your Rescue Morphers.

They're worn on your wrist.

- Five?
- You are the fifth.

- Me?
- For years,

I have been training you for this.
It's yours...

if you want it.

All right, Rangers,
time to get to work.

These are you jackets.
Grab one.

- Whoa, that's tight.
- Wow.

Start it. All set.

Batlings, we've waited
a long time for this.

Destroy them!

- Let's go help those people!
- ALL: Right!

Run! Go!

Go! Go!

CARTER: They're
too strong for us.

Rangers, use your morphers.

CARTER: Hey, you
with the hot temper.

You want to destroy
Mariner Bay?

You'll have to go
through us to do it!

Ready?

ALL: Lightspeed... Rescue!

- Power Rangers?
- All right!

- Whoa! It worked!
- This feels incredible!

This is what we needed.
Let's get to work!

- Hyah!
- Hyah!

- Hyah! - Hyah! - Hyah!

- ALL: Hyah!
- Batlings, destroy them!

ALL: Power Rangers Rescue ready!

Hyah!

Hey, over here!
You're toast--

Burnt toast!

Ready...

- Aim...
- You ain't got the guys!

Fire!

ALL: Lightspeed power down.

[ cheering ]

[ cheers and applause ]

JOEL: It's no problem.
I'll show you the move.

Let him show up again
and see what happens!

Oh.

There is a time to celebrate,
but this is not it.

You see, now Diabolico
knows that you exist.

You think this fight was tough?
Just wait.

But, sir, we just destroyed
Diabolico, didn't we?

Oh, no. That was just
one of his monsters.

You want to defeat him?
You've got a lot of work to do.

We all do!
