"Alpha, recheck the quantum morphin pods and power ray. We can't leave anything to chance."
Alpha: Right Zordon.
(Back where we left off, Billy finds himself inside of a dark room, looking down into a vent where Alpha and Zordon appear to be building a brand new ranger from scratch. Billy's mind is blown that such a thing is even possible. He continues to look down in awe; trying to go unnoticed.)
Zordon: After that, work on powering up the morphin circuits. Go slowly Alpha, we can't afford to overload.
Billy: This is incredible!!
Alpha: Who's there?!
Billy: Uh oh...
(It doesn't go so well...)
Alpha: Intruder!! Intruder!!
Zordon: Alpha, release the hounds at once.
Billy: Gotta go.
(Billy quickly reaches for his helmet and teleports back to the command center. Unbeknownst to him, the rest of the team is on their way there as well, thanks to a triple team by Lord Zedd, who could not be enjoying this anymore.)
Lord Zedd: I should've done this months ago! Use hungry, hardened criminals and cut a deal with them in exchange for their freedom; it's so perfect, it's criminal. Goldar, your perpetual incompetence may have actually paid off. Now, to finish the job...
"Zedd!"
Lord Zedd: Huh?
"Hey Zedd!"
Lord Zedd: What?! Who dares speak my name in vain in my own palace?
(Zedd turns around to be greeted by Kraken and his band of convicts, who've barged in from the back unannounced.)
The Flamer: Quite the place you've got here.
Blink: You mean quite the sausage fest. Didn't know you were into that.
Lord Zedd: How dare any of you walk in here like you own the place?! As long as you're under my command, you'd best consider this holy land.
Kraken: Well last I checked, neither of us follow the gospel according to Zedd.
It: IT LUTHERAN!
Kraken: Now we kept our part of the deal. The rangers have been defeated. Now grant us our pardons.
Lord Zedd: So you're giving me orders now, huh?
Kraken: That's right.
Baboo: This is not gonna end well.
Lord Zedd: Let's get this straight. The only person giving orders around here will be me! And I said you will be let go when the last ranger is pulverized.
Kraken: You want to keep abusing those kids? Go recruit Woody Allen. But our job here is done.
Lord Zedd: Oh is it?
Kraken: Yes. We aren't one of your spineless lackeys. We're nobodies' lackeys.
Lord Zedd: Oh, but you are. Your freedom depends on it.
(None of the convicts have an answer to that.)
Lord Zedd: So what's it gonna be?
Kraken: ...fine. We'll go. But we'll follow no one's rules. We destroy the rangers, and we'll do it our way. You stay out of it.
Lord Zedd: Fine by me.
(After one last scowl, Kraken retreats out the door with the others following behind.)
Lord Zedd: Can you believe them?
Squatt: I know. That Woody Allen joke was tasteless.
(While Kraken and his crew head back to Angel Grove to prepare their next attack, Bulk and Skull have decided to take a break from drilling open the dumpster that unbeknownst to them, carries Rita Repulsa. They've decided to leave Skull's uncles garage for a moment to sort through his fridge and watch his television; all without his uncle being there.)
Skull: Bulky... I'm worried. My uncle's gonna be furious. What if he tells my mom? She's gonna kill me!
(Bulk scarfs down a huge bite of a Reuben sandwich he prepared.)
Bulk: (muffled) W-why?
Skull: What do you mean why? We broke into his house! We're using his tools without permission. We can go to jail!
(Bulk takes a giant gulp before replying.)
Bulk: Don't sweat it. We just need to make sure everything's back where it was before we got here.
Skull: You probably shouldn't have cleaned out his fridge then.
Bulk: Hey! Do not go there!
Skull: Don't go where?
Bulk: I don't want to hear any more fat jokes from you.
Skull: I'm just stating a fact. You cleaned him out. I think he's gonna notice that.
Bulk: I have a disease for your information. It runs in my family. My mom is so bad that she even needs to get a new foot.
Skull: Hopefully she won't eat this one.
Bulk: Whatever. At least my fat head isn't filled with air.
Skull: You calling me stupid?
Bulk: Look at that, you've just put 2 and 2 together. You can do basic math.
Skull: I'm smart! Don't you underestimate my intelligence.
Bulk: Oh yeah? Hand on a bible, if you and a monkey took an IQ test together, who do you think would score highest?
Skull: Well that depends.
Bulk: On what?
Skull: How big is the monkey?
