Synopsis[]

With the Power Rangers trapped as powerless children, new heroes must protect the Earth in their stead. Fortunately, there are other Power Rangers in the galaxy, and one such group has answered the call: the Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers.

Plot[]

Part 1[]

Everybody in Angel Grove has been reduced in age due to Master Vile's Orb of Doom, and now Lord Zedd, Rita Repulsa, Goldar, and Rito Revolto are giants and on a destructive rampage through the city. As everybody runs for their lives, the child Power Rangers realize that they can't teleport or even call Zordon without their powers, and so they must reach the Command Center on foot.

Suddenly, they are shrunken back down to normal by Master Vile. Zedd is furious at his father-in-law's interruption, and Rito slips away from the group as Vile teleports them back to the Moon Palace as punishment. When he spots the Rangers running off, Rito calls down some Tenga Warriors and forms a plan to take the Power Coins while they are helpless.

As they try to find their way through the city, the Rangers bump into Bulk and Skull, both now children like themselves. The bullies recognize Billy, but don't remember any of the other Rangers since none of them had lived in Angel Grove at the current point in time. Billy realizes that the Power Coins have allowed him and his friends to retain their memories of each other and the knowledge of being Power Rangers. Rito and his Tengas suddenly appear and chase all the kids for their coins. With no powers, the Rangers instead rely on their surroundings to set traps and deter their pursuers, but the noise attracts the attention of the police.

Rito and the Tengas are sent back to the Moon Palace, where Master Vile has already moved on to the next step of his plan. In order to destroy Zordon and the Morphing Grid forever, Rito and Goldar are tasked to plant an implosion device beneath the Command Center and blow it up. As to Angel Grove, Vile has summoned monsters from all across the galaxy to his conference where they make plans to destroy the city as a unified force.

Back in the city, the police have taken the Ranger kids down to the station for curfew violations. Tommy and Kat, having been separated from the others while fighting Rito, pose as Billy's mother in a trench coat and convince the police chief to let their friends go. They are later forced to hike to the Command Center in the middle of a fierce sandstorm, unaware that Goldar and Rito are following them.

Inside the offline Command Center, Alpha 5 and Zordon are trying to remember what they were doing that required everything to be turned off; the Command Center's loss of power resulted from a loose plug. Once everything is turned on again, Alpha teleports the child Rangers to the Center. They are safe, but Zordon cannot give the Rangers any powers due to their reduced ages being a liability. If any of them perish, Earth can never return to its proper place in time.

It is decided that new Power Rangers are needed to protect Earth. Alpha knows of a watery planet called Aquitar, which is inhabited by a race of alien humanoids and protected by its own team of Power Rangers. Zordon fears for their safety as the Aquitians cannot live outside of water for very long, but he is reminded by Rocky about how the Rangers were willing to protect Edenoi when the Masked Rider Dex needed their help. Zordon understands and sends out a galactic alert to Aquitar. Just outside, Goldar and Rito have planted the implosion device at the Center's base and are lighting the fuse.

Part 2[]

The Aquitian Power Rangers: Delphine, Corcus, Cestro, Aurico, and Tideus answer Zordon's call and introduce themselves. Though Zordon still shows concern for their ability to function on Earth, Delphine assures him that they will not hesitate to protect the planet regardless. For their Zords, Cestro reveals the Battle Borgs, humanoid robots given to them by Ninjor which are similar in function to the Shogunzords but are controlled telepathically and have no Megazord mode. Zordon assures the Aquitian Rangers that they will have full control of the Rangers' Ninja and Shogunzords when the need arises.

The alarms sounds as the implosion device is detected outside the Command Center. Alpha volunteers to go out and defuse it himself, while the Ranger children are teleported to the beach to meet with the Alien Rangers. Alpha is able to stop the implosion device from going off.

Realizing that his plan has failed and now sensing the Alien Rangers' presence, Master Vile sends Goldar and Rito down to make sure nothing else can ruin his plans. Bringing some Tengas with them, the pair decide to attack the Ranger children, but the Alien Rangers arrive and force them back. Names and greetings are shared, and Billy goes with the Alien Rangers while the other kids head for home.

As the visitors are instructed on summoning the Shogunzords for when the Battle Borgs are insufficient, the Viewing Globe shows Crabby Cabbie, Parrot Top, See Monster, and Brick Bully's second form converging in the desert, led by Vile's field general Professor Longnose. The Alien Rangers morph into action and fight, though they are initially overwhelmed. Longnose makes the whole group grow, while the Alien Rangers bring in their Battle Borgs and begin to show more success. The Shogunzords are summoned and formed into the Shogun Megazord to finish off Longnose as the other monsters run away.

With all of his brilliant plans foiled, Master Vile complains and whines on the ground. Rito and Rita pick him up. She is points out that it's her job to vent in anger, while Vile is supposed to be the adult here. Rita tells him to stop behaving like this because he's embarrassing her like this. Fed up, Vile announces that he's going back to the M51 Galaxy much to Lord Zedd's pleasure and leaves. Lord Zedd reasserts his command over the Evil Space Aliens and declares that everybody will do things his way.

The Ranger kids watch a news report proclaiming Angel Grove's gratitude for their new group of unknown saviors. Zordon does not know how he will restore the Earth to normal, but the Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers promise that they will do all they can to protect the planet until he can find the answer.

Song[]

Errors[]

  • Bulk and Skull's mothers look completely different to their previous appearance in "Return of an Old Friend".
  • Alpha was sweating under the pressure of diffusing the implosion device despite being a robot.
  • In the end credits, Aurico and Cestro are mistakenly referred to as "Aurica" and "Cestra" respectively. This happens in the rest of the Alien Ranger episodes.
  • Much like the episode "Rangers Back in Time", this episode also has a continuity flaw. If Master Vile reverted the Rangers back into their younger selves, this means Jason, Zack and Trini were never at the Peace Conference. Katherine and Tommy would not even be in Angel Grove, Rocky, Adam and Aisha would be in Stone Canyon and the main four Rangers would still remain with Billy.
    • Their presence in Angel Grove mighty be easily explained due to being linked to the Morphin Grid as Power Rangers, like how all six still have their memories while the rest of Angel Grove do not.

Notes[]

  • Part I of this episode aired the same day as VR TroopersIcon-crosswiki (Season 2) episode 34, Field and ScreamIcon-crosswiki.
  • Part II of this episode aired the same day as VR TroopersIcon-crosswiki (Season 2) episode 35, The Duplitron DilemmaIcon-crosswiki.
  • For the Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers episodes, Catherine Sutherland, Karan Ashley, Johnny Yong Bosch, Steve Cardenas, Jason David Frank, Paul Schrier, and Jason Narvy continue to be credited even though they do not appear again as their characters until Hogday Afternoon. The exception to this is David Yost, who returns in the next episode.
  • Among the monsters at Master Vile's conference are Crabby Cabbie, Brick Bully's second form, Miss Chief, See Monster, Lanterra, the as-yet unintroduced Arachnofiend, and Kakuranger monsters Shirouneri, Keukegen, Noppera-bo, and Binbogami.
  • This is the first episode to not feature a Pink Ranger.
  • This is also the first episode to feature a White Ranger as a core member.
  • The coins the Aquitar Rangers use to summon their Battle Borgs are the coins from the Kakurangers' Doron Changers, which are not used for the Alien Rangers to morph in the show.
  • The text on the display used by Billy to debrief the Aquitians in regards to the Shogunzords reads as follows:
    • "The Zords consist of five robotic units, each serving a purpose for the good of the whole. When combined, the five units become one unit, able to combat most formidable opponents, especially during Sweeps Week.
    • "The first unit is a monkey. Yes, a monkey. The second unit is a bird. It's housetrained. Thank goodness. The third unit is a bear. It is one of the few bears in existence which has eluded Ted Nugent. The fourth unit is a wolf, cunning, rabid, and randy. The fifth is a frog. If it gets too hot, it dries up and croaks.
    • "...the attributes of the separate units. It also has freaky big feet and a flaming fish sword. Why a fish? Only Ninjor knows for sure. So, in conclusion, try to read the manuals in the Zords' glove compartments. Good luck, and thanks for flying."
  • Alpha 6 is first mentioned in this episode, and would be introduced in Turbo's "Shift Into Turbo".
  • Part II is the last episode to use the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers title card for the opening sequence.
  • This is the first time David Yost is absent from Power Rangers as he is turned back into a child, but he would return in the next episode when he restores his age back to normal. This two-part episode is also the only time that he was absent in all of Mighty Morphin'.
  • Part I features the first appearance of the 1996-2001 Saban logo.
  • None of the Aquitar Rangers appear morphed in Part I.
