Kamdor! I have it!

- The most precious gem in the museum.
- Fool!

You said you could find one
of the jewels of the Corona Aurora.

This is just a priceless ruby!

- If you don't want it, I'll take it!
- ( Growling )

TYZONN: Going somewhere?

- I bet you're not gonna give that back.
- You bet right. Get them!

ALL: Drive Defender!

Fire!

Come on!

Drive Detector!

Hyah!

( Screaming )

Enough of this!

Whoa!

Whoa.

Hello? Talk about a brain freeze!

Oh, uh, this was left for you.

I think it's a box.

MALE VOICE:
Greetings, enemy of Earth.

I know you seek the Jewels
of the Corona Aurora.

I can help you get them
if you'll meet with me.

( Crowd Cheering )

We'll get this ruby back to the museum.

- Thank you very much!
- ( Growls ) Another failure!

At least we have one Jewel.

That's more than those other losers.

What could this be?

MALE VOICE:
Greetings, enemy of Earth.

I know you seek the Jewels
of the Corona Aurora.

I can help you get them
if you'll meet with me.

I don't need any help!

( Screaming )

( Growls ) You!

How did you bring us here?

- Yeah!
- I didn't.

- Huh?
- I was invited.

MALE VOICE: Excellent.
You are all here.

( Growling )

( Laughing )

And who invited you?

It was I who invited you.

Thank you all for coming.
I am Thrax.

- Thrax?
- Hello.

I've heard about you.
Weren't you banished forever?

As you can see, that's not the case.

Like Moltor and Flurious,

I was imprisoned by the Sentinel Knight.

He was determined to bring me to justice

and used his own power to do so.

But evil such as mine
cannot be contained forever.

As the Knight weakened, I grew stronger.

After all these years, I'm free!

But enough about me.

As far as I see it, there's only
one thing standing in your way

of finding the Jewels
of the Corona Aurora.

- The Power Rangers.
- Yes!

The Rangers have ruined out plans
time and time again.

Then maybe it's time
to eliminate the problem at the source.

If I help you destroy the Rangers,

Earth will be yours
to plunder for the Jewels.

You'll be unstoppable.

But the Rangers are strong.

But we're stronger, if we work together.

- No!
- Not a chance!

- Never!
- THRAX: Now, now.

I'm proposing a temporary alliance.

Once the Rangers are gone, you can
vaporise each other for all I care.

Now gather around, my compatriots.

I can barely remember what life was like
before Operation Overdrive.

Uh, I can. Boring.

Being a Ranger is definitely the most
exciting thing to ever happen to me.

I thought my life
was adventurous before,

but now it's like... um...

Something out of a movie!

- Exactly.
- Yeah.

Come on, you guys are forgetting
the best part about being a Ranger.

- Saving the world!
- Yeah!

- Totally!
- Who's that?

I'm Thrax,

son of Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd,

and the orchestrator of your doom.

THRAX: Prepare for battle,
my evil alliance.

What do you want?

I want to be part
of the end of the Power Rangers!

MACK: Oh, really?

Charge!

( Laughing )

- KAMDOR: Excellent!
- Come on!

Fire!

Fire!

( Groaning )

WILL: Hover Tek Cycle!

- Whoa! Whoa!
- ( Laughing )

Hey, back off!

( Groaning )

Thrax was right.
Topgether we're unstoppable!

THRAX: Excellent.

Now give me your evil energy

so we can eliminate the Rangers
once and for all!

( All Groaning )

What happened?

( Thrax Laughing )

I've severed your connection
to the universal Morphing Grid.

You are on longer Power Rangers!

( Laughing )

Get away from them!

You!

This just keeps getting better!

- The Sentinal Knight!
- Destroy him!

You can't. But I know what can.

We've got to get out of here!

Let them go.

They won't cause you any more trouble.

FLURIOUS: Let's find the Jewels!

Sentinel Knight, are you OK?

The remaining Jewels are unprotected.

I must do something.

Great, where does that leave us?

( Zapping )

Powerless.

Any luck at all yet, Dad?

No, the tear in the Grid has cut off
all access to your Ranger powers.

Even our most sophisticated
repair program can't fix it.

Then it's over.

We're not Power Rangers anymore.

I don't believe it.

The evil alliance has wasted no time
in searching for the remaining Jewels.

These are reports of attacks
all over the world.

And it's only a matter of time before
they come here for the two we have.

We can't let that happen.
We've got to take the fight to them.

Without our Ranger powers?

You still have
your genetically enhanced skills.

Dad's right. We have to try.

MIG: What is this strange place,
Kamdor?

Stonehenge.

One of the most legendary
temples on Earth.

I like the way you think.

Yes. What better place
to hide a legendary Jewel?

- Rangers!
- ( Growling )

MACK: Come on, guys!

Fire!

( Laughing )

Out!

I'll show you!

ROSE: Hey!

( Screaming )

( Groaning )

I dare you!

( Groaning )

DAX: Try me!

Gladly!

- Hey!
- Huh?

( Screaming )

- Over here!
- Huh?

Come on!

( Groaning )

Rangers or not,
they're still a nuisance.

Right. Let's finish this here and now.

Mig!

Huh? Who are you?

Surprise.

Hello.

It's great to be back.

- ( Growling )
- WOMAN: Hey! Watch out!

Let the games begin!

Looks like you guys
could use a little help.

- Who are they?
- I don't know, but I like the suits!

They're Power Rangers!

Thrax didn't tell us
there'd be more Rangers.

Maybe he's not
such a great leader after all.

Power down.

Thanks... whoever you are.

- We're glad to help.
- Is anyone else confused here?

I will answer all of your questions.

But maybe this isn't the best place.

MAN: This is way better
than a hollow tree.

This will do.

- So, you've all been Rangers before?
- Yep.

Well, except for me.
See, I'm not a Ranger yet.

But I will be in the future.

In the future,
I'm going to be the Green Ranger.

Oh, and then
I'm gonna be the Blue Ranger.

- But you're wearing red.
- Oh, uh, yeah.

Well, long story short,
our mentor, who's a dog,

got promoted to head of SPD,
which used to be run by a bird,

but he went down to Miami,
then Sky got promoted,

and then I got promoted
and that's why I'm the Red Ranger.

Or, rather, will be.

Makes sense to me.

In any case, welcome.

We're so glad to have you here.

I have asked
these previous Power Rangers to help

in this time of crisis.

I was able to channel
some of my remaining energy

to restore their powers.

We're all happy to help.
Once a Ranger...

Always a Ranger.

As the guardian of the Jewels,

it is my duty
to see that they are protected.

That's why I've chosen Adam, Bridge,

Xander, Tori, and Kira

to replace you
as the new team of Power Rangers.

It's really great finally
get some free time around here.

Yeah, you know, let these new guys
take the heat for a while.

RONNY: Check this out.

"New Team of Power Rangers
Save Ancient Monument."

Those Zords are unbelievable.

TORI: I can't wait
to get into that Gyro Driver.

What an incredible Command Centre
Dr O would've loved that.

- I can't believe he's a doctor.
- Seems like you're all getting along.

I think we make
a pretty good team, right, guys?

- Sure.
- Yeah.

I'm sure you'll be back
to action in no time.

We're pinch-hitting
until you get your powers back.

You mean, "if" we get our powers back.

- ( Alarm Sounding )
- Come on, Rangers.

Well, I for one, have better things to
do than sit around here and do nothing.

FLURIOUS: That's it.
Block up the main road.

No one will be able
to interrupt our search.

Guess again!

Now that's just rude.

Attack!

BRIDGE: Got your back!

Hold on.

Over you go!

I don't think so.

ADAM: It's your move.

This wasn't supposed to happen!

Thank you so much
for coming back to help, Adam.

I know you must all have busy lives
that you had to leave.

Nothing more important than this,
I've dealt with Rita and Zedd before.

Seems like Thrax has inherited
their worst parts.

He severed the Overdrive rangers'
connection on the Morphing Grid.

I've reinforced it so he can't cut off
your powers as well,

but I just don't have the technology
to repair the damage he's done.

I think I know who might.

A new Rangers team foiled my plan!

- Thrax!
- Huh?

You promised to eliminate the Rangers,

and now they're popping up
like geraniums.

Yeah, I love geraniums.

Never fear, my team.

I have a creature that will take care
of these new pests.

Come forth, Vulturus!

( Growling )

And while you keep the Rangers busy,

I'll get my revenge
on the Sentinal Knight!

( Evil Laughter )

ANDREW: Spencer said
you wanted to see me?

Mr Hartford, you know how much we've
loved being part of Operation Overdrive.

And it's been an incredible experience.

But now that you've got a new team,
you just don't need us anymore.

Of course I need you.
Our mission isn't over yet.

Our mission was to be Power Rangers.

- We dropped everything for that.
- I see.

It's just that we feel that you have
everything handled here.

We talked about it, and we'd like
to go back to our normal lives.

Mack, do you feel this way too?

I'm not going anywhere, Dad.

But I don't think
there's much I can do to help.

So, you're sure this is what you want?

Yes, we are.

We've decided to leave
Operation Overdrive.
