"Come out, come out wherever you are."
(After losing his green ranger powers for good, Tommy was left in an empty field in Zedd's other world to die at the hands of his latest creation, Turbanshell. Desperate and powerless, Tommy did what he could and ran for his life and is now hiding behind a rock.)
Turbanshell: Come out and fight me like a man, cowardly ranger. This is not how a hero should act.
Tommy: ...
Turbanshell: I'll find you sooner and later, and then, I will finish y—
(Out of a strange combination of fear and anger, Tommy leaps from the rock and kicks Turbanshell right back down the hill he came from.)
Tommy: I'm no coward worm face, you want me? Come and get me.
Turbanshell: Ugh... How dare you? You'll pay for that you horrible little human.
(Turbanshell takes his staff and charges halfway up the hill. He digs it into Tommy's abdomen and lifts him over his head and onto the ground several feet away.)
Turbanshell: And that's just for starters. Without your powers I'm going to pulverize you.
(But before he can capitalize, Tommy up and bolts. The with painfully slow Turbanshell lumbering behind him, Tommy gets far out in front, then leaps into a trench where he's out of view.)
Turbanshell: Without your powers, you're useless. Just come out now and I promise I'll make it quick and painless. You are only fighting the inevitable.
Tommy: ...
(He tries to control the sound of his breathing and make as little sound as possible as the monster passes by him. Suddenly though, he has an idea.)
Turbanshell: Fee Fi Foe Fum, I smell something green and du--
(Just as Turbanshell passes in front of him, Tommy grabs the monster by the foot and with one quick yank pulls him down the ditch with him. He hits the ground hard, giving Tommy some time to climb out and keep running. Meanwhile at command center, Zordon and Alpha are in the middle of their own desperate attempt to save Tommy and the others. However they seem to be having their own problems.)
Alpha: Aye ya yai, I still can't break through Lord Zedd's energy field.
Zordon: We must not allow him to prevent us from communicating with the outside world Alpha, we must get in contact with the other rangers and teleport them to safety.
(Just when things look like they can't get any worse, more reports print from the dashboard.)
Alpha: And there's more bad news. Computer data reveals that the energy field is rapidly constricting. In a matter of hours we're gonna be a big pile of rubble.
Zordon: Then we must find a way to stop that from happening.
Alpha: Aye, yi, yi, yi, yai! I just hope the Power Rangers can get back here safely.
(Just like Tommy, the rest of the team is trapped in the other world, only trapped in a tiny force field in front of Zedd, Goldar and the Dark Rangers stand over them.)
Goldar: Look at you pathetic rangers... please master, let me have the honor of killing each one of them, one by one.
Lord Zedd: Absolutely not!
Goldar: Please master! Do not deny me that pleasure, oh great one.
Lord Zedd: Quiet!
(Goldar backs down as Zedd glows bright red with fury.)
Kimberly: Why does he glow like that when he's angry?
Robbie: Hey Zedd, you look like my dogs wiener.
Lord Zedd: They have foiled enough of my plans. I'm sending them back to earth, where without their precious powers and Zordon, they will be forced to stand hopelessly by as Turbanshell and the Dark Rangers destroy the city they have sworn with their lives to protect.
Jason: I'm sure that won't backfire.
Lord Zedd: It is a fitting punishment indeed. Knowing you can do absolutely nothing to save Angel Grove.
(Zedd waves his Z staff at the ranger team and sends them all back to Angel Grove before turning back to his own team of rangers.)
Lord Zedd: And now, with those rangers out of the picture, it is time to unveil to the world the poison I will use to end their collective suffering, the DarkRangers.
Goldar: Yes!
Lord Zedd: Off now... and may the power protect you. HAHAHAHA!!
(He sends them to downtown Angel Grove; the place already reeling from an earlier attack. The place is littered with rubble as first responders tend to the wounded. Rocky, Adam and Aisha are also there, having just competed in a martial arts tournament.)
Adam: Rocky, you can't be so hard on yourself man.
Rocky: I was overconfident. I decided to go out for a party the night before instead of training and resting like I should've.
Aisha: Well you know how you are. "Rocky just wants to have fun," right?
Rocky: Yeah, a little too much fun.
Adam: Second runner up isn't so bad Rocky. It was out of sixteen and you were third best.
Rocky: A real martial artist doesn't settle for third best. A real martial artist trains and wins tournaments.
Adam: A real martial artist doesn't pout like a child when he loses. A real martial artist acts with respect and discipline.
Rocky: ...
Adam: You did well man, stop being so upset. All we can do it make sure we work on what went wrong and do better next time.
Rocky: Yeah, I guess you're right. ...I guess I should just be proud of what I did.
(The three of them continue to walk down the eerily empty road.)
Rocky: Say, did you see that cute blonde in the front? Think she was checking me out.
Adam: Yeah. There were a ton of cute chicks there.
Rocky: Yeah.
Aisha: Yeah...
(The two turn their heads blankly at Aisha's direction, but then start to notice something strange just over her shoulders. Fallen debris everywhere, from buildings that have taken a beating. All around them they see cars pushed aside, businesses looking as if they've been looted, and more than one ambulances within eyeshot.)
Rocky: What on earth is going on here?!
Aisha: Was this place hit by a hurricane or something?
Adam: I don't think this was a hurricane.
