As the Zeo Rangers celebrate their victories over the Machine Empire and Lord Zedd, a new evil comes to town. Stripped of their powers, will the rangers be able to defeat this new threat?

Jason Lee Scott has come to a conclusion: he hates labs. This conclusion came after his parents sent him to every doctor in Angel Grove. After being poked, prodded, and x-rayed too many times to count, the doctors could find nothing wrong with him.

As the garage door opened, his mom decided to ask him again: "Jason dear, why are you so tired nowadays?"

Jason groaned. Not again, he thought. "Nothing, Mom. I'm fine, really." Yeah, fine after Trey finally took back the Gold Ranger powers. "Really, Mom, I just need time to rest." For about five days, according to Alpha. "Even the doctors say I'm fine!" Like they could detect a person's lifeforce draining out of them.

"Oh, all right, dear. Are you going to your room now?"

"Yeah."

"Okay, just don't stay up there too long. It's not healthy for someone like you to stay in one place."

"Okay, Mom."

Jason ran up the stairs to get to his room. Suddenly, he stopped, as his headaches returned. Oh, God, this hurts! I have to stop pushing myself like that. Slowly, he inched his way to the room and turned on the television. I hope something good's on. Aw man, it's only 2:00! Nothing's on now! Slowly, he got up to put a video tape into the VCR. As he came back, he turned on the TV. Oh, that's right, there's the news on right now! He watched with interest as the anchorman talked about a criminal trial. Okay, enough of that. Time to watch some good stuff! But as he got up to put the tape in, the anchorman received a new piece of paper. "Ladies and gentlemen, I have a late-breaking bulletin. It seems the Power Rangers are attacking a monster in the warehouse district of Angel Grove!" "What!" Jason watched as the TV showed his friends attacking a foxlike creature in front of a warehouse.

"Rangers, regroup!" On his command, the other rangers ran to Red Zeo's side. "Okay, guys, I'm up for suggestions. This guy is tough!"

Green Zeo looked up. "I've got an idea! It looks like this creature can't concentrate on multiple targets. Everyone split up!"

Green and Yellow Zeos ran to the left of Foxtron, Pink and Blue Zeos to the right. Red Zeo jumped up and slashed Foxtron across the chest with his Zeo V Power Sword. When Foxtron got up, he was surrounded. Furious, it charged at Red Zeo. On cue, Pink and Yellow Zeos drew their Zeo Pistols and fired. When Foxtron turned around, it got confused. Green and Blue Zeos retreated to the back and attacked it with their Zeo Weapons. In a state of confusion, the creature rushed wildly in all directions, crashing into a warehouse wall, next to which were parked five cars.

Red Zeo ran to the front. "Okay guys, let's finish this! Zeo Cannon, now!" As the rangers took their positions, the trusty cannon appeared above them. "Load Zeo Cells now!" Energized, the Zeo Cannon fired, demolishing the creature.

"All right! Nice work, guys!" But Red Zeo's enthusiasm was early. Foxtron stumbled out of the wreckage. A burst of thunder erupted. Red Zeo looked up. "What?! It was clear skies only a moment ago! Oh no, I know what this means!" In the past, Rita and Zedd commonly used lightning to make their creature grow.

Running towards Foxtron, Red Zeo knocked it away moments before lightning struck. Missing the creature, the lightning went on to the five cars next to it. The five cars grew in size, until they were taller than the warehouse. Red Zeo looked at the new cars. "Oh no! What are we going to do with those?" Then he turned around. In his distraction, he missed another lightning shot that hit Foxtron. It grew until it was as high as a skyscraper.

"We need Super Zeo Zord power now!" Five zords in geometric shapes came flying towards them. The five Zeo Rangers teleported into the cockpits. "No fooling around guys! Let's go straight to the Super Zeo Megazord!" The five zords combined to form a mighty robot. The Super Zeo Megazord charged the monster. Coming in, it swung several blows the drove the monster to the floor. "Let's mop up! Super Zeo Sabers!" The twin swords quickly killed the creature.

Down on the ground, the rangers looked at the five cars that had grown. Their previous owners looked at them in shock. Red Zeo approached them. "Errr . . . sorry about that. Look, I'll pay you back for this."

The owners stared at the rangers in shock. "Well, for what you do for this city, these cars don't barely cover it. Look here, you can keep these vehicles, we can't use them anymore. Consider it a gift from the people of Angel Grove."

"Thanks!" When the civilians went away, Red Zeo turned to the others. "Well, what do we do with them?"

Green Zeo looked at them. "You know, Alpha said he was starting to get bored down at the Power Chamber. Maybe he could amuse himself. There are lots of things he could to them in his spare time."

Blue Zeo quipped, "Yeah, Adam, like turning them into Zords."

All the rangers laughed.

"Not another one!" Zedd swore. "I can't believe how those damn teenagers just keep on doing it!" He grumbled as he paced around the balcony. "There's got to be some way to get rid of those kids!" A noise attracted his attention. "What the hell?! No, it can't be!" Approaching Earth was a mass of jumbled parts, which resembled some sort of sphere. Zedd swore. "It's the Baribarian! That witch Divatox plans to show me up again!"

Zedd's noise awoke Rita Repulsa. Running up to the balcony, she asked, "Who's Divatox?"

Zedd laughed a cruel laugh. "An intergalactic space pirate. She travels around, plundering anything she can find. Two and a half millenia ago, she destroyed the government of Tarkus III, just before I was about to take it over! Do you know how much I wanted to take over Tarkus III? I had my eye on it for centuries! Now she plans to do the same for Earth!"

Rita laughed. "Oh, did I hear things right! Did the Big Bad Zeddy finally admit someone's better than him?"

"NO! She is NOT better! She plays dirty! She manipulates the environment! She's a strategist! Grrrr. . . Hmmm. I know I can defeat Divatox, but not the rangers. You know what, dear, a wonderful plan has come to my mind!"

Rita whispered, "What's left of it, anyway."

Zedd ignored her. "I think I'll let Divatox try her little tricks with the Power Rangers. Who knows? She just may win! Meanwhile, I have a little thread I need to check on. If I pull this off right, I'll get Divatox ejected from the United Alliance of Evil. Then, I will most assuredly kill her! Come, I need to head to Forage VI!"

Meanwhile, Divatox stood atop the balcony of the Baribarian. "Ah, the sweet treasures of Earth! To think, soon, what I need will be mine!" She turned around. "Porto, how long until we reach orbit?"

Porto, chief scientist, looked up from his viewscreen. "Approximately two hours, my queen."

"Good. Rygog! What have you found about the defenses of Earth?"

Rygog, second in command, held in his hand a folder filled with tactical knowledge of Earth. "Earth is classified as M3 by the UAoE, your majesty. That means Earth is just that close to being officially approached by aliens. Their government is scattered throughout the world. Apparently, they still fight amongst themselves. Oh, but they have Zordon of Eltar on that planet."

"NO! Zordon! Dammit! That means he has those . . . Zyurangers, isn't it?"

"No, my liege, on Earth Zordon has renamed them the Power Rangers."

"Power Rangers, eh? I wasn't counting on something like this. Elgar! What have you found on the Power Rangers?"

Elgar, chief spy, read from his folder. "Apparantly, they have protected the Earth for almost five years! They've defended it from Rita Repulsa, Lord Zedd, Master Vile, and . . . whoah! They repelled the Machine Empire too!"

Divatox sighed. This wasn't an easy job. "Okay people, let's try and come up with a decent suggestion for this problem!"

"Hey Ernie, another sundae, if you please!" The rangers were happy. Technically, their victory over Zedd's latest creature was an omen of future victories. For the rangers, though, all victories were omens. Thus, all victories, even the minor ones, were celebrated.

Rocky, who had way too much sugar, started saying, "Hey guys, remember when I gave that stupid fox guy a punch to the right, and ducked his swing, and gave him a solid uppercut to the jaw?"

Adam grinned. "Oh come on, Rocky, anyone can do that. See my spinning heel kick to his chest?"

Tanya laughed. "You mean the one where he smashed your head against the wall? Yeah, I remember that!" Everybody howled. Adam looked down as if he was uninterested in that.

Tommy cut in. "Oh come on, guys, you have to admit the best one was where I jumped and-"

The communicator beep cut him off. Looking around, the teens ran off to the entrance to the bathrooms. It was commonly referred to as the "teleport section" of the juice bar, since the rangers always went there to teleport. The teens pushed the button on their communicator to teleport. Nothing happened. They tried again. Nothing. Tommy looked at the others with worry. "Something's not right, guys." They pushed the button again.

The rangers teleported to hell. Only Tommy had ever seen the rangers' home base in the kind of mess it was in. The control panels had been ripped out, and the walls were blasted out. Alpha was blindly stumbling around, and Zordon was nowhere to be seen.

While the other rangers ran towards a stumbling Alpha, Tommy stood in shock. Oh man, this is just like when I was Green Ranger! Eventually, Tommy found the will to move. "Alpha, what happened?" Alpha did not respond. Tommy turned to Adam. "Can you fix him, Adam?"

"I don't know, but I can try."

Tommy looked at the control panels. One of them seemed slightly undamaged. Tanya noticed it. "Hey guys, look, one the control panels looks like it's still working!"

Tommy saw which one it was. He recognized it immediately. How could he not? He was the reason it was there. Tommy immediately started to fiddle with the controls.

Adam, who was fixing Alpha, saw what Tommy was doing. "Hey, man, what are you doing? You don't know how that works!"

"Yes, I do. I made it my business to find out exactly how this panel works!"

Amazingly, as Tommy worked, the tube where Zordon should have been started clearing up. Zordon's face started to emerge. "C'mon, Tommy, do it!" he whispered to himself. Zordon's face grew clearer and clearer, until he had returned.

"Congradulations, Tommy. You have brought me back."

The other rangers stared at Tommy in shock. Finally, Kat found her voice. "How did you learn to do that?"

Tommy turned to the other rangers. "During my time as the evil Green Ranger, I sent Zordon flying into another dimension. When I joined the team, I suggested we tag Zordon with a sort of homing beacon so if something like that happened again, we could locate him easily. I felt responsible for it, so I learned exactly how to use the controls."

Zordon smiled. "We are lucky that you did."

Adam yelled from the other side of the room. "Hey guys, I think I fixed Alpha!"

Alpha started to move. He looked around quizzically. "Rangers! Why are you here?"

Adam said, "Our communicators beeped. We thought you called us. We came here, and it was a mess."

Alpha stopped. "Ay yi yi! I remember what happened!" Just as suddenly, Alpha stopped. "My memory chips have been damaged. All I remember is someone broke in. I greeted him, or possibly her, and then he turned me off. When my backup program kicked in, I saw him-"

Alpha spun towards Zordon. "Ay yi yi! Rangers, look!"

As the rangers followed Alpha's gaze, they saw what Alpha had seen.

The compartment that housed the Zeo Crystal was empty.

Zordon looked down at the rangers. "Rangers, I have just finished a scan of the entire Command Center complex. Whoever broke in disabled all the power relays. There is no power in the Power Chamber to create any new powers." The rangers stared in shock.

Alpha interrupted. "That's not entirely true, Zordon. Look."

As the doors to the Power Chamber opened, Alpha gestured towards what was on the other side.

It was the five cars that the rangers had retreived.

"Alpha, you're joking, right?"

"I never joke during a crisis. Like it or not, these five vehicles contain the magic of Lord Zedd and Rita. You can absorb them."

Zordon said, "Alpha, if the rangers absorb the energies, it will continually fade away. Any energy that is indirectly absorbed will fade away from the body. In addition, for the kind of procedure that you are suggesting, the rangers must morph at the same time, or they will not generate enough power."

"I know, Zordon, but we have no choice. The rangers need only take on these powers long enough to retreive the Zeo Crystal and reinstate their Zeo Powers."

Adam spun. "Alpha, does that mean you know where the Zeo Crystal is?"

"Yes, it is in a cave just south of Angel Grove."

Tommy nodded. "Okay, then, let's do it, guys!"

Each ranger chose the vehicle they would take their powers from. All the rangers stood in front of the car, as Alpha attached to each car a cubic device. "Rangers, these Power Boxes will allow you to absorb the power locked inside these cars. Good luck."

"Thanks Alpha."

Tommy looked at the red sports car he had chosen. "Red Lightning Turbo Power!"

Rocky looked at his new 4X4. "Mountain Blaster Turbo Power!"

"Desert Thunder Turbo Power!"

"Dune Star Turbo Power!"

"Wind Chaser Turbo Power!"

When the dust cleared, the rangers looked around at their new selves. Instead of the old powers with diamond shapes, or the Zeo powers with the chest designs, the spandex-resembling suits they wore now was made in the image of a racer's uniform.

"Oh my God!" Tanya exclaimed. "These costumes look like a joke!" The other rangers mumbled agreement.

"No time for that, rangers!" Alpha said. "Follow me, I'll get you to your weapons."

Alpha ran to another side of the room. "Your powers are very weak, at best. Zordon has already told you that your powers will not last forever. I have developed some weapons that will assist you, without jeopardizing too much of your power." Alpha then held in his hand a device that looked like a red car with a handle. "This is a Turbo Auto Blaster. Don't be fooled by its odd appearance; it packs one mean punch. If you pull the tab on the back out like this, it will form the Auto Blaster: Shift Up mode." Each ranger placed an Auto Blaster in their belt buckle. Next, Alpha held up a sword. "This is a Turbo Blade. It looks intimitating, but it's not very strong. Like I said, I can't jeopardize too much of your power. I'm working on something that can get you to your own personalized weapons." Alpha then handed Tommy a gray device. "This is a prototype Turbo Navigator. You can use it to scan for the Zeo Crystal. It will also lock onto anybody holding a strong power source, such as the Zeo Crystal or your own Turbo powers."

Zordon spoke. "Rangers, this is your most devastating mission yet. Do not engage the enemy in a futile battle. Use your energies to retreive the Zeo Crystal. If you should lose, an evil force will be in control of the Zeo Crystal, and its enormous power."

Tommy said, "We won't let you down, Zordon." Turning to his friends and comrades, he said, "Okay guys, let's do it!"

The rangers teleported to the entrance of the cave that housed the Zeo Crystal. The rangers cautiously entered. Their bodies, so used to the power of the Zeo Crystal, felt weak under the tentative powers of Turbo. Each ranger reacted lightning quick to a sudden sound. But, nobody could be found.

Yellow Turbo said, "Gee, maybe nobody's home."

Red Turbo said, "No, Tanya, someone's here. I can feel it in my bones. Everybody ready their Auto Blasters, just in case."

As they progessed deeper into the cave, the light got worse and worse. Eventually, the rangers activated their headlights, built into their helmets.

All of a sudden, five streaks of energy burst, seemingly from the walls themselves! The five Turbo Rangers fell to the ground.

Red Turbo yelled, "Everybody arm Turbo Blades! Attack anything that moves!"

A light turned on, revealing that the rangers had been lured into a room that had been closed in. Looking ahead, the Turbo Rangers saw five teenagers.

Jason Lee Scott raised his hands, revealing Zeonizers strapped to each wrist. As he did so, Trini Kwan, Zack Taylor, Kimberly Hart, and Billy Cranston did the same.

"No . . . please no!" pleaded Red Turbo.

"Someone tell me this isn't happening!" cried Blue Turbo.

The five original Power Rangers brought the Zeonizers together, and in an instant, the Zeo Rangers stood in their spot.

Red Turbo was shocked. "Who's responsible for this?!"

Blood-red lightning surrounded the room, converging on a single form in the center.

"Hello, rangers," said Divatox. "I must say, I'm surprised that you've managed to get new powers. Nonetheless, they can't be as powerful as the Zeo Crystal."

Red Turbo yelled, "Who are you, and why did you do this?"

"I'm Divatox, an intergalactic space pirate. I've come for the riches of Earth. It's really that simple. Of course, I knew Zordon would send his little boy scout troop to stop me, so I thought, ‘How do you defeat a ranger?' Of course, the answer is, you fight rangers with rangers! And, well, you can see the final result." At her cue, the Zeo Rangers took their fighting stances. "I'd like to see you fight against your own teammates!"

Green Turbo whispered to Red Turbo, "We have to take them down, Tommy. Once they're beaten, we can get the Zeo Crystal from them."

"I agree, Adam, but it's not going to be easy."

Red Zeo looked directly at Red Turbo. "So what's it gonna be, Tommy? Are you chicken?"

Red Turbo said, "No, Jase, we're gonna take you down, because we have to. Turbo Ranger 1, Red!"

"Turbo Ranger 2, Blue!"

"Turbo Ranger 3, Green!"

"Turbo Ranger 4, Yellow!"

"Turbo Ranger 5, Pink!"

"Power Rangers . . . TURBO!"

The Turbo Rangers armed the Auto Blasters and fired. The Zeo Rangers effortlessly jumped clear. Arming their own Zeo Laser Pistols, they returned fire. The Turbo Rangers were hit, and fell to the ground.

Divatox said, "Ha! This is going to be easier than I thought!"

The Zeo Rangers armed their individual weapons, as the Turbo Rangers armed their Turbo Blades. They charged each other. But the Turbo Blade was indeed too weak. The Zeo Rangers overwhelmed them.

"Rangers regroup!" The five Turbo Rangers fled to the other side of the room. Red Turbo said, "Okay guys, I'm up for suggestions!"

Divatox laughed. "There is nothing you can do!"

The five Zeo Rangers grouped together. Red Zeo said, "Okay guys, let's take ‘em out! Zeo Blaster!" The Zeo Rangers combined their weapons to form the formidable weapon.

"Oh no!" cried Pink Turbo.

"Everybody brace themselves for impact!" said Red Turbo.

The Zeo Blaster hit the Turbo Rangers with full force, leaving the rangers unconscious.

Divatox smiled. "Perfect! Now, for the next stage in my plan!"

Tommy awoke to find himself in a grassy field. Where am I? What happened? Instinctively, he tried to morph. But instead of calling forth his Zeonizer, he brought forth his Turbo Morpher. Turbo . . . Oh no, Divatox! I've gotta morph! He took out his Turbo Key and inserted it. Nothing happened. What's going on? Why can't I morph? Then he remembered something Zordon had said. "In addition, for the kind of procedure that you are suggesting, the rangers must morph at the same time, or they will not generate enough power." The full simplicity of Divatox's plan hit him. She didn't have to strip him of his power! It was enough to separate them, since there was no way they could cooridinate their morph at the same time. Or is there? In his hand, Tommy held the Turbo Navigator. I have to find the others, and stop Divatox!
