Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Robbie Chronicles Volume 2

Season 2 - Episode 3: The Mutiny: Part 3

(Note: Co-written by Internutt, the author of the Scottish Sentai series.)
"I am Lord Zedd, emperor of all to you see."

(Today's episode starts off where the last one left off, in the middle of an impromptu introduction between the power rangers and their new villain, Lord Zedd. Following a daring heist where the team managed to steal an important artifact, Zedd makes his prerogative to intercept them before they could use it perfectly clear.)

Jason: What do you want Zedd?

Lord Zedd: I believe you have something that belongs to me.

(Zedd lifts his cold metal fingers right at Robbie.)

Robbie: Sorry Zedd, but you're not my type.

Lord Zedd: Your quips do not amuse me. You are holding the Sword of Thunder in your hand. Give it to me, and I shall consider sparing your lives.

Jason: Forget it. We came all the way to this dump to save Angel Grove from the likes of you. And I don't know about our imitators, but this ranger team rolls over for no one.

Kimberly: Yeah, those Europeans are total wimps.

Robbie: It's like they're from a different continent or something.

Zack: If you want the sword Zedd, you're gonna have to come get it.

Lord Zedd: Oh? Might I remind that I have conquered planets your foolish species hasn't even discovered yet? You want to do things the hard way, fine. I'm through being polite.

Jason: Okay guys, we can handle him, let's just stick together.

(But with his free arm, Zedd reaches out into the air, summoning a bomb that quickly unnerves the team.)

Robbie: Does anyone mind holding this sword for a second?

Lord Zedd: I will see to it that you never summon those Thunderzords. I will have that sword in my trophy case if it's the last thing I do; and I'll take whatever limbs that are left behind while I'm at it.

(Zedd takes his mightiest throw in the ranger's direction. They lunge in every which direction to avoid getting hit. Fortunately, the bomb sails over their heads and ventures twenty yards behind them.)

Billy: He missed us.

Zack: Is that the best you've got Zedd?

Lord Zedd: Oh, the best has yet to come.

(He points to something right behind them. The rangers cautiously turn their heads around to find Scorpina standing right behind them, a sadistic smile on her face with the bomb twirling on top of her index)

Scorpina: Miss me?

Zack: Uh oh.

Trini: Brace yourself.

(Scorpina pulls off a key at the top of the bomb, causing it to explode over her. The rangers are initially confused until they begin smelling an offensive gas from where she stood. Suddenly, a figure rises from that same spot, growing to hover over the skyline of Edinburgh. Though it sounds like Scorpina, it no longer looks anything like the half hybrid warrior. She remerges with long, sharp fangs, pincers where her hands used to be and a sharp, venom tipped tail that appears to be pointing right at them.)

Lord Zedd: Scorpina, squash those little cockroaches and retrieve that sword.

Scorpina: Your wish is my command.

(Scorpina raises her right foot over the team, casting them in the darkness of her shadow.)

Jason: Get out of the way!!!

(The rangers narrowly avoid being squashed by an earth rattling stomp that leaves behind a crater deep enough for a grave. Before the rangers even have the chance to get back on their feet, she raises her leg again.)

Billy: We've got to get out of here; let's head back to the command center.

Jason: No, we need to find Scottish Sentai; it's the only way to beat her. In the meanwhile we just need to...

Zack: WATCH OUT!!

(The ranger's again narrowly avoid becoming a pulpy mess underneath Scorpina's shoes. However this time, they fall forward and take a tumble down the rocky hill and into the town of Edinburgh. Zordon takes note of the increased risk for danger and tries to take action.)


Zordon: The rangers have fallen into town and are risking great collateral damage. I must try and locate Scottish Sentai and teleport them to Edinburgh at once.

(Zordon tries to telepathically find a source of energy in the morphin grid that can only belong to the Scottish rangers. However, before he can get a lock on anything substantial, the alarms go off, shifting his attention to something potentially direr.)

Zordon: I sense a spike of energy somewhere but, but it does not appear to be from the morphing grid. It appears to be coming... from Zedd's hideout on the moon.

(Zordon's correct; there is an unusual spike in energy stemming from Zedd's hideout where he returns to after leaving the rangers to Scorpina.)

Lord Zedd: Now with that taken care of, I can finally put forth an all out assault on Angel Grove. Now where's that mutt? I need to enter his portal.

(He looks around for Finster, who was put in charge in his absence but to his bewilderment sees and hears no sign of life. Still, something in his gut tells him he isn't alone. Finally he hears someone clear their throat ahead of him. Whoever it is and whatever the motive, they are sitting on his throne; reason enough for hostility.)

Lord Zedd: (sharply) Identify yourself, at once.

(However, nobody responds to him immediately. He begins to grow impatient, if not, a little troubled. Finally a frail but stern voice calls out to him.)
