but there is still
one place we can be safe --

the domed city of corinth.

and the only hope
we have left is...

Gem:
okay, we still haven't found...

Gemma:
venjix's hidden palace...

But here are some other
known targets...

That could lead us
to the bad guys' lair.

We want
to make them all go...

Boom.
Boom!

Bye-bye! Bye-bye!

We want to start...
With this one...

Right here.

It's a factory where...

Venjix uses
human prisoners to...

Manufacture and build...
Grinders.

How can you two
be so sure?

We know because we...

Were prisoners there
ourselves. Mm-hmm.

Oh, yes.
We were forced to work...

Unbearably hours under...

Unspeakably
brutal conditions.

We want some...

Both: payback.

[ Grunts ]

Got to like, uh,
their enthusiasm.

Yeah, but if there are
human prisoners out there...

Then we've got
to go look for them.

Scott:
look, I'm with you,

But nobody is going anywhere
until we have a plan.

Okay, um, while he...
Makes a plan...

We'll make...
Some really big...

Globby stuff...
To drop on that factory.

Ka...
Boom!

[ Both imitating
explosions ]

[ Music playing softly ]

Do you know that tune?

By heart.

[ Alarm blaring ]

Venjix attack bot.

It infiltrated the city
through a garbage chute.

What are we dealing
with here, doc?

It looks like
a giant ball of yarn.

Oh, release
the giant-cat zord.

Yeah, or
the knitting-needle zord. Knitting needle?

If you're choosing a zord, man,
go with an animal.

So every zord has to be
an animal now, does it, flynn?

Well, they're biomechanics,
"bio" meaning "animal"

Or a life-force of some kind,
not knitting needles.

Enough.
We've got work to do.

My grandmother
was a knitter.

Hey! Garbage
and more garbage!

Uh, guys,
I don't see anything unusual.

Me neither.

It's weird.

You'd think
a giant ball of yarn

Would kind of,
you know, stand out.

[ Whistling
"the farmer in the dell" ]

Oh, that creeps me out.

What?

Unless it was a trap.

Tenaya :
that's right, ranger black.

But the whole whistling thing
kind of gave it away,

Don't you think?

[ Whistles
"the farmer in the dell" ]

Greetings!

[ Cackles ]

Sorry, guys,
but that ball of yarn

Had me way more worried
than you.

Should we tell them
about the surprise?

Oh, no! Don't ruin it!
Let's let it be a surprise!

You just did ruin it

As soon as you said
the word "surprise."

I'm sorry,
but, uh, we came here

Expecting to fight
a big ball of yarn.

What could you
possibly offer

That would surprise us
at this point?

[ Whimpering ]

Surprise! Surprise!

Okay, I admit
I didn't see that coming,

But I wouldn't exactly
say I was surprised.

The surprise is not

That you're going to be fighting
venjix's latest creation.

The surprise
is that you're going to lose.

Whoa!

The saw bot generation

Wasn't built
to destroy the city...

Or even
its inhabitants.

It was built
to destroy you.

Any final requests?

[ Laughs ] just one --
please stop talking.

Hyah!

Ziggy: summer!

Come here!

Dr. K: rangers,
watch your energy levels.

Ranger yellow, the attack bot
might have a weak spot

In its
lower right defenses.

One way to find out!

Ranger black, disengage from
tenaya and rejoin the others.

You got it.

[ Chuckles ]

Ah!
[ Cackles ]

Go for the lower right!

Negative, ranger yellow.

Cancel that.

The saw bot is instantaneously
learning and adapting

To your every move.

Y-you must cease all attacks.

Repeat --
cease all attacks.

Cease all attacks?

Then what
are we supposed to do?

You're supposed to be destroyed.
I mean, duh.

Even i knew that one!

Huh?!
Huh?! Huh?!

Whoo!
A direct... Hit! Whoo-hoo!

[ All groaning ]

That was a cheap shot!

We...
Know.

And there's more...
Where that came from.

Don't worry --
we won't overstay our welcome.

What?!
Whoa!

[ Gasps ]

They blew...
Themselves up!

Whoo!
Yeah!

No.
They're gone.

Doc k,
we've lost them.

Not to worry, rangers.

Based on these schematics,

That attack bot
was designed to do one thing --

Learn your moves.

And that means
one thing can be certain.

It will be back.

Mmm.

Hey.
What's for breakfast?

Pancakes.
You guys.

Mmm.

Now...is that cinnamon
I smell?

Oh, that's
not pancake batter... Silly.

It's neutronic...
Detonating putty.

[ Laughs ]

Dillon:
detonating putty --

If that doesn't wake you up,
nothing will.

[ Laughs ]
good one... Dillon!

[ Humming resumes ]

That tune.

Like it?
Join in.

Hum with us,
if you like.

Just tell me
where you heard it.

Oh, we heard it...
In the factory.

Scott:
the venjix factory --

You mean the one you were
telling us about earlier?

Yes.
We shared a... Cell next to a girl...

Who was always...
Humming that tune.

So now when we work...

We hum it...
Too.

This girl --
what did she look like?

We never saw...
Her.

We just talked...
To her through a...

Teeny, tiny crack...
In the wall.

Both:
she was so nice.

She told us the song...

Came from an old
family heirloom

Carried by...
Her brother.

Like this?

Wow.

Does that mean...
That you're...

Her brother?

Her name.
Tell me her name.

Nobody in the camp...
Used their real names.

But there was...
Something different.

She was bl--
inhibited in the, uh...

Visual arena.

What does that mean?
Was she ugly or something?

She had a severe case...

Of ocular impairment.

She was...

Blind.
She was blind.

Blind...

As in...
Not able to see.

That must be her.

And she could still
be there now.

Aw, we were...
Planning to just...

Vaporize the whole thing
from suborbit.

But, sure, we can go...
Rescue your sister.

That'll be fun...
Too.

Stop, dillon.

I know
how you must be feeling.

No. You don't.

Look, we need information.
We need a plan of attack.

Dillon, he's right.

We just need
a bit of time.

My sister may not have
that kind of time.

Uh, need I remind you
that the last time

You went bounding out
into the wasteland

To chase down your past,
it was all a venjix trap.

How do you know if any of these
memory fragments are real?

This is real.

Gem and gemma are real.

My sister
must be real, too.

Flynn:
I don't know, scott.

Taking the spark plugs
out of dillon's car --

Is that really necessary?

Come on, flynn.

There's no way
I'm letting dillon

Go racing off into the wasteland
against my orders.

Can you just do it
before he gets any bright ideas?

[ Engine revs ]
might be a bit late for that.

[ Tires squeal ]
dillon, wait!

We got to go after him.

Aye, except
for one teeny problem.

We seem to be missing
our spark plugs.

Ziggy: yep, see,
it just goes to show you

How much
things can change.

Remember when the two of us
first met?

You didn't even know
your own name.

I still don't.

Yeah, or where
you were from.

I still don't know
where I'm from.

Or where you were going.

You know,
don't know that, either.

Okay, I'm trying to explore
the concept of change,

And it would help me
if you would work with me here.

No, I mean I think
we took a wrong turn.

Check the directions.

Sorry.

Well?

I don't think
I can make sense of this map

Gem and gemma
drew for us.

Uh, is the rainbow
a road?

N-now, the flower,
that could be the factory.

Uh, but the unicorn...
I...i can't guess.

Dillon! Aah!

Grinders!
Yeah, well, drive!

Too late. Bail.

Ziggy!

[ Grunting ]

Hyah!

Hyah!

[ Laughs ]

Dillon: summer...
[ Sighs ]

...that was...nice.

I think we're supposed to be
headed in the direction

The unicorn horns are pointed --
under the rainbow.

Oh, and I call
front seat.

Not fair.

Gem and gemma
left me this note.

"Hey, dr. K.

"We went out
for a little while

"On a supersecret,
superfun mission.

"Don't wait up.

Kiss, kiss, hug, hug --
friends forever."

[ Scoffs ]
how about that.

Does anyone else

Want to flagrantly disregard
my orders and go awol?

Flynn, how about you?

No, I'm good.

[ Alarm blaring ]

dr. K, we're picking up
an incoming threat.

i'm downloading the readings
to you now.

The rangers who left
might be the lucky ones.

The saw bot
has just been detected

inside
the city perimeter.

What a day.

Dillon:
yep. Grinders.

This is it.

Well, at least we know

Gem and gemma
were telling the truth,

But now what?

We get in there,
we find her.

Well, yeah, sure,
but how?

The workers.
We blend.

Right.

[ Sniffs ]

[ Coughs ]

[ Mechanical whirring ]

The grinder robots
must be programmed to look west

Every seconds.

See, now, that's what I love
about robots -- very consistent.

... ... ...

Go!

Summer:
that door's guarded.

It must be
some sort of control room.

There might be records,
files --

Information
on the prisoners.

[ Mechanical whirring ]

Okay.

We're gonna need
a distraction.

And I get the feeling
that distraction is gonna be me,

Isn't it?

Right. Thought so.
Fine.

I'll get their attention.

Remember,
not too much attention.

Keep it low-key.

Hey. You're talking
to mr. Finesse, all right,

So just leave it...

[ Clank ]

Dillon:
how's this supposed to work?

There's no keyboard.
Let's try plugging in.

It's moving too fast.

Not for me.

How are you
reading that?

I'm a machine.

Not yet you're not.

There!

It's a record
of all the factory prisoners.

My sister has to be
in here somewhere.

She has to be.

[ Sighs ]
mr. Finesse.

[ Clattering ]

Hold on.

They're not
just making grinders here.

[ Alarm blaring ]
it's an intruder alarm!

Wait.
There was a girl here.

A blind girl!

I'm bringing up
her information now.

Come on, dillon!

Aah!

No!

It was here!

She was right here!

Dillon, we have to go!

Go!

I don't know about you,

But I'm gonna take out as many
of these tin cans as I can.

I like your style.

The intruders --
they're getting away!

[ Sighs ]
shadow puppets.

Gets them every time.

[ Grunts ]

Guys, ow!

A little help here.

Come on. Get up.

Front seat!
Front seat!

[ Engine turns over ]

Dr. K: ranger blue,
use attack formation "q."

It's dr. K and flynn.

Flynn: i'm trying,
but it's jamming me!

ranger red,
use formation delta.

And scott.

Venjix sent the saw bot
into the city after them.

They're fighting them alone
without us?

Not for long.

Wait.
Uh, how do you know that?

The factory computer
told me.

Don't get too close to it, red.
Maintain kicking distance.

Yeah, why don't
you try that, doc?

Huh?

Looks like it's...
Boom time, dr. K!

Roger that,
gem and gemma.

You are go for boom time.

Claw hatchet on!
Claw hatchet on!

Hyah!
Haah!

Combine weapons!
Combine weapons!

Locked...
And loaded!

Skyship laser! Skyship laser!

Fire!

Ready?

Ready! Ready!

All: rpm!

Get in gear!

begin the download now.

We're just in time.

Really? 'Cause I'd say
you're a bit late. Yep.

Let's zord up!

All:
zenith megazord online!

Calling...
Zords!

[ Laughs ]
we're going in!

Hey, gemma,
beta maneuver!

Roger that!

Keep him busy.

Engine cell activate!

Fire! Fire!
Fire! Fire!

Forget the giant-cat zord.
I want a flying-chicken zord.

You're...
Welcome!

Look, dillon, you can't
just go running off like that.

There are rules
for a reason.

Look, you --
you know what you've got?

A sister.
I have a sister.

[ Laughs ]

I was gonna
go with "attitude problem,"

But [laughs]
all right, I hear you.

I need to go back there,
you know.

I'm afraid we all
have to go back there.

We have no choice.

We have to get to that factory
and destroy it immediately.

This was downloaded
from the factory control room.

It's what venjix
is really building.

But...
What is it?

It looks like
a giant blimp.

That blimp
has enough firepower

To blast through the dome
and level the city.

This isn't
an attack bot at all.

It's a doomsday machine.
