Something to Fight For is the third episode of Power Rangers Time Force. This episode marks the first appearance of the Time Force Megazord Modes Red and Blue.

Synopsis[]

Ransik unleashes his first reanimated mutant onto the city. Jen allows Wes to join the team, and the Rangers use the Time Jet to rush into action with aid from the future in the form of the Time Force Megazord to defeat the overgrown mutant.

Plot[]

Ransik's mutation seem to be going out of control. Only with medication does he keep it in check.

While sifting through the wreckage of the Time Ship, the team gets a message from Captain Logan. He offers them weaponry should they need it.

On his way to a board meeting, Wes finds Nadira and her goons up to no good. He fights them but gets the stuffing knocked out of him. Just as Nadira is about to deal the death blow, the Rangers show up and save Wes. Poor Nadira gets a fingernail broken by Jen.

Jen gives Wes a talking to, about how he should not interfere with Ranger matters, how he has never fought for anything in his life and that he's always a "spoiled brat".

Wes is feeling pretty worthless at this point, until Trip sneaks into the Collins compound to explain Jen's harsh attitude towards him and that what she says about Wes is wrong.

Wes goes to Jen at the Time Ship wreckage, and asks for a chance to help them out. He may never have fought for anything before, but it doesn't mean he can't now. He also revealed that he found out about Jen's grievance of Alex's death from Trip and why she hates him for not acting like him & wouldn't accept Wes joining them.

At Ransik's cryo-prison headquarters, a frozen mutant criminal known as Jetara is reanimated and unleashed on the city. He begins by blasting away the local police.

Circuit alerts the Rangers. Jen finally gives in and gives Wes the Red Chrono Morpher. The team morphs. Trip whips out the Time Jet, which was shrunken in a metal case. The Rangers board it, and Wes pilots.

They reach the location of the mutant's attack. Wes gives him a Time Strike. In the process, he cuts off a patch on Jetara's body, exposing his DNA and causing him to grow to colossal size.

Circuit contacts Captain Logan in the future for a little assistance. Logan sends over the Time Flyers through the time portal. The Rangers take control of the Time Flyers and form the Time Force Megazord Mode Blue. After an exchange of laser fire, they shift the Time Force Megazord into Mode Red, which uses its saber to take out Jetara with a final slash. Jetara shrinks to a size of mere inches as he reverts into his cryogenically frozen state, and is imprisoned by Jen into a container.

Wes willingly gives up the Morpher, but Jen lets him keep it. The team rejoices at their new Red Ranger.

VHS/DVD releases[]

"Something to Fight For" was released on the VHS Power Rangers Time Force: Force from the Future.

Errors[]

When the Time Force Megazord Mode Blue was beginning the transformation, it was labeled TimeRobo.

Notes[]

Following the September 11th attacks, this was part of the set of episodes that had to be re-edited for re-airings and eventual DVD releases:
- After Jetara grows and starts attacking the city, Lucas originally said, "It looks like he's attacking the city!" Followed by Jetara blowing up a building. The re-edit changed Lucas' line to, "Look out, here it comes again!" And the shot of the building being destroyed is removed.
- A shot of Jetara falling backwards onto a building was also cut.
- A wide shot of Jetara shooting at Mode Red with buildings getting exploded was replaced by a zooming in shot of Mode Red getting hit.
- Jetara throwing part of a building at Mode Red was also cut.
- A wide shot of Jetara exploding in the city was also cut.
- The original broadcast version of this episode is included in the "Force from the Future" VHS version since it was released in May of 2001. However, it has not been re-released ever since.
  - It has been implied by the fans that the master tapes for the unaltered episodes were either lost or destroyed; however, this has not been made official by the powers-that-be.
