As the Turbo Rangers struggle to regroup, Divatox prepares the Zeo Crystal for an ultimate evil. If she succeeds, the rangers will never be the same!

Previously, on Power Rangers Turbo: Ultimation . . .

As Jason rests from his encounter with the Gold Ranger powers, the Zeo Rangers take on Zedd and Rita's latest monster, and are left with five very unusual vehicles. Meanwhile, Divatox, one of Zedd's old rivals, arrives on her Baribarian to take Earth, and Zedd retreats, planning Divatox and the rangers' downfall. Striking fast, Divatox's first attack leaves the Power Chamber in ruins and the Zeo Crystal gone. Taking on Turbo powers from the five cars, the rangers rush to the Zeo Crystal, to find that Divatox has hypnotized the original five rangers and given them the Zeo powers. Overwhelmed by the power of Zeo, the Turbo Rangers fall. Now, stranded in the middle of nowhere, and armed only with the Turbo Navigator, Tommy must bring the rangers together and stop Divatox!

Tommy looked out among the grassy fields. If he looked really hard, he could see the cave where Divatox and the Zeo Crystal were hidden. During his less encouraging moments, he thought of rushing in and taking the crystal. Yeah right, Tommy. Like you're gonna make it there in time. Geez, that's gotta be, what, 70, 80 miles? Looking back at his Turbo Navigator, Tommy saw that it had locked onto a strong energy source. The signal indicated that the source was a pink, non-Zeo power. Without thinking, Tommy ran in its direction.

Just in time, Tommy remembered that the Angel Grove Bluffs had a lot of raging rapids. Rushing from behind a bush, Tommy came inches within falling into a rapid, and possibly losing his hold on the Turbo Navigator. Great, he thought. How am I going to do this? Looking around, Tommy could see no pathways that would lead him across. His Turbo Navigator told him that this rapid was the biggest one, and would stop at the cave and the ocean. There was no way he could get himself to an ending.

Tommy's train of thought was interrupted when a large snake, hanging from the trees, made a loud hissing noise. Tommy spun, saw the danger, and ducked moments before the snake launched its head at him. Tommy ran to the edge of a bush, far enough so the snake could not reach him. Great, how many more of those are there? Looking across the tree, he saw that several branches reached almost to the other side of the rapids. Unfortunately, the branches looked too weak to support his weight. Besides, he thought grimly, Mister Slithers here wouldn't let me up there anyway. Moving forward to get a better view of the tree, Tommy tripped on a piece of vine lying on the ground. Vines . . . now that's a good idea. Tommy thought he saw a branch that might be sturdy enough to swing on. Grabbing a piece of the vine, he snapped off enough of it to swing him across, then swung it onto the vine. Several pulls seemed to insure that it was strong enough. Taking a deep breath, he jumped out.

The jump seemed to be good. He was almost to the edge when he heard a horrid snap sound. Too late, he realized he didn't check the strength of the vine. Instinctively, he threw the Turbo Navigator onto the other side of the rapids so he would not lose it. He readied himself for the shock of water. As soon as he was in, he tried to grab anything that seemed solid. One hand caught something, then the other. With all his might, he pulled himself further and further up until he reached the surface.

After coughing for several minutes, his mind started working again, and he started searching for the Turbo Navigator. He couldn't find it! Oh great, he thought between coughs. I lost it. Now what do I do? As if in response, he heard a woman's voice crying out his name, over and over again. Snapping up, Tommy started yelling, "Kat! Kat, over here!"

Kat appeared behind the bushes. "Tommy! What happened?"

"Divatox separated us, so we can't morph together. I can't find the Turbo Navigator either."

"You mean this?" Kat held out the navigator. "It came flying out of nowhere and hit me on the head. What happened?"

"Er . . . nothing. Here, give me that." Tommy opened the navigator.

As Tommy fiddled with the controls, Kat asked, "Why can't we just teleport out?"

"Have you tried?"

"No . . . ." She tapped her communicator, and her body disappeared in a flash of pink light. An instant later, though, she rematerialized, right where she stood before.

"Oh no! What happened?"

"There's some kind of force field around the area. The Turbo Navigator says it covers about thirty acres. I went to the edge and touched it."

"Thirty acres?! Where are we right now?"

"Right here." Tommy indicated a point on his Turbo Navigator. Pointing to one end of the force field, he said, "Here's the cave." Pointing to the other end, he said, "Here's us."

"We're on the other side? It'll take forever to get there!"

"Not really. In fact . . ." Tommy trailed off as the navigator started beeping wildly. A green blip and a yellow blip appeared on the display. "Great! Adam and Tanya already found each other! That makes our job much easier!"

"Do you really think we're going to find anyone else, Adam?"

"Of course we are! Why?"

"Well, you said it yourself: the place is almost like a jungle. I can't see anything from here. A ranger could be on the other side of the grass, and we couldn't tell."

"Don't worry, Tanya. Remember, Tommy's got that Turbo Navigator. He'll find us. I'm sure he's found Kat and Rocky already."

"Okay." Tanya still wasn't convinced. She felt it was a hopeless battle this time. In all her experience, she was still the newest ranger, and had never experienced any crises. She had not withstood the destruction of the Thunder Zords, Kimberly's capture, and only witnessed a brief section of the Alien Ranger saga. Though she had often heard her friends reminiscing, she never did truly understand how helpless a ranger could be.

"Adam, what's going to happen if Divatox wins?"

Adam sighed heavily. He knew Tanya had built up a fantasy of invincible rangers, but he had no idea how devastating it could be to have that fantasy destroyed. "I don't know Tanya. The best thing to do is to hope it doesn't. I hope . . . what was that?"

"I didn't hear anything."

"I did. It was over there." Adam pointed in the direction the noise had come from.

"Oh, Adam! That's the stream! You probably heard a bunch of fish eating, or something."

"No, I heard something beyond the stream. Look, over there! I saw something move!"

Tanya squinted. "Oh that. That's just a bear, Adam."

"No, look at it, Tanya. Don't you notice something about it?"

"Say . . . you're right, it looks like it sees something. Oh my gosh, I think it's going to attack something!"

"Nice bear," Tommy whispered. "Good bear. Let us through."

The bear howled. It started moving closer.

Kat said, "Tommy, what do we do?"

"I don't know."

The bear was getting closer. It started bending down. "Kat, as soon as I give the word, jump to the left. I'll jump to the right."

"Tommy . . ."

"Trust me."

Suddenly, the bear's hind legs dug deep into the ground. "Now!" Tommy yelled. The two rangers jumped in opposite directions, just as the bear started to leap. Confused, the bear hesitated in mid-air, and crashed into the rock in front of it. Backing away, it gave a painful howl.

"Tommy, what now?"

"RUN!"

Tommy and Kat broke into a sprint, trying to put distance between themselves and the bear as the bear tended to its injury. But when the bear started running towards them, Kat fell on a branch. Tommy ran to her side and picked up a large, sturdy branch. When the bear approached, Tommy swung the branch with all his might. It connected with the bear's jaw, sending him flying. Kat got up, and the two started backing away, keeping the bear away from them with the branch.

Then, a strange voice cried, "Tommy! Kat!"

Kat spun. "Adam! Tanya! Tommy, look, it's them! But they're on the other side of the stream!"

Adam said, "There's a row of rocks to your left; you can use those to cross. The bear probably won't make it across."

Tommy locked eyes with the bear. As the bear tried to read its prey, Tommy threw the branch at it. Tommy and Kat ran for the rocks, with the bear in close pursuit. While the rangers' feet were small enough to step on the rocks, the bear's weren't. It slipped and fell into the stream.

When they made it to the other side, Adam and Tanya were waiting for them.

Adam said, "Well, Tommy, it looks like you've had a bit more fun than we did."

"Yeah right, Adam." They exchanged a few playful punches. "C'mon, guys, we gotta find Rocky."

"Sure. But first, we want to hear all about your little adventure." Adam ran to the front, looking up the upcoming hill."

"Yo Adam, I'd stop there if I were you."

"Why? Because I'm so fast and you're-" Adam smacked into something solid. "Ow! What was that?"

"That, Adam, is the forcefield that's keeping us in here. It's also disrupting communicator frequencies. That's why we couldn't contact you guys, and that's why we can't contact Rocky."

"Is there some way to break down the forcefield?"

"No, the only way is to shut down the main power generator. Unless . . . Adam, touch the forcefield again." Adam touched it, then pulled away at the shock. It was like static electricity.

"Just as I thought. When you touched the forefield, it disrupted the frequency that the forcefield is operating at. If we can disrupt it enough, I may be able to get a communication to Rocky."

The three other rangers nodded in agreement. They positioned themselves right next to the forcefield. On Tommy's command, the three of them plunged their bodies into the forcefield.

Tommy tapped his communicator. "Rocky! If you can hear this, prepare to morph on the count of five! One! Two! Three! Four!"

The rangers quickly left the forcefield and and lined up in a row. Tommy said, "Shift into Turbo!"

"Desert Thunder Turbo Power!"

"Dune Star Turbo Power!"

"Wind Chaser Turbo Power!"

"Red Lightning Turbo Power!"

In the faroff distance, one could hear the faint words: "Mountain Blaster Turbo Power!"

"Porto, show me where the rangers are!" At Divatox's command, Porto moved to the nearest console.

"So, it's time to finally kill them off, my queen?"

"Yes . . . I hope they've had a torturous time! Ha ha ha! Porto, is that them?" Divatox pointed at five rows of flashing lights.

"Yes, my evilness. Here, let me pinpoint their location . . . wait, something's not right. My queen, they're moving too fast to be unmorphed."

"WHAT?! You mean they've morphed!"

"Yes. In fact, they're making a beeline for the cave. This is amazing! No human has ever moved this fast before! They should be here in five minutes!"

"Rygog! Get the Zeo Rangers ready for battle! And hurry up! No mistakes!"

Red Turbo laid low. He knew the Zeo Rangers were probably just inside the cave, waiting for them to show up. He thanked Alpha for the ability to move fast enough to confuse Divatox's equipment. They probably don't expect us to arrive for at least three more minutes!, he thought. Turning to his teammates, he said, "Now, remember what happened last time. Here's the plan. We try to stay out of their line of sight. Use Auto Blasters only. Keep them off-guard. Once they're confused enough, we go in the cave and destroy whatever's keeping the forcefield on. Then, Alpha and Zordon can help us out. With luck, Alpha has already broken through the barrier, and can see us. Hopefully, he's devising something to destroy the spell on the rangers. Okay guys, let's do it!"

The five rangers turbo-ran to their hiding spots above the cave. Tipping over, they fired the blasters into the cave. They hid as five Zeo Rangers ran outside to fight them.

"Okay, rangers," Red Zeo's rough voice said. "Divatox wants these rangers destroyed, so let's not waste any time!"

The Zeo Rangers split up to find the Turbo Rangers. As Yellow Zeo approached the west, she fell under attack. She did a barrel roll, and pointed her Zeo Pistol, only to find herself aiming at a rock! She ran up to ambush the ranger that was surely hiding behind it. Once she reached it, she saw no one was there. Blaster fire erupted around her. This time, she did not hold back. She fired at every tall rock. When something caught her eye, she fired at it. And still she could not hit those accursed rangers!

Red Zeo was more careful. He saw an Auto Blaster peeking up from a trench, and he jumped up and fired into the trench. But he had hit nothing! As he came down, he was hit multiple times by blaster fire.

The other rangers had the same luck. Each time they saw a ranger, they would disappear. The Zeo Rangers were being thoroughly beaten.

Suddenly, Red Zeo saw Red Turbo turbo-running towards the cave entrance. "Guys, Red is going for the cave! Hold the others off, I'm going in after him!" And Red Zeo ran into the cave as well.

Red Turbo turbo-ran as fast as he could. He knew Red Zeo would not catch up to him, and he whizzed by bumblers like the pihranatrons and Elgar. With his Turbo Blade, he hit Rygog and sent him flying before he knew what was happening.

Finally, he reached a deadend in the tunnel. "Heh! I don't think so! Auto Blaster: Shift Up!" Pulling the tab on the end of his Auto Blaster, Red Turbo created the perfect means to craft a new door.

When the dust settled, Red Turbo rushed in. "Woah!" he said. "Look at all the consoles! Which one do I destroy?" Red Turbo looked up and down the confusing panels, but found no clue to what does what.

"Hold it right there, Tommy!" Red Zeo had caught up with him. "You're not doing anything to those consoles!"

"Feel like fighting, bro? Fine. Turbo Blade!"

"Zeo V Power Sword!"

The two leaped at each other. Having trained together for almost five years, each knew the other well. Red Turbo knew that Red Zeo often let his guard down when fighting from his right, leaving his left side vulnerable. Red Turbo continually drifted the battle clockwise, forcing Red Zeo to thrust and parry almost exclusively from his right side. When the moment was right, Red Turbo pulled the handle on his Turbo Blade. "Turbo Blade: Shift Up!" With new power, the Turbo Blade knocked out Red Zeo with one blow.

"Now, for the consoles!" Red Turbo looked from console to console. "Which one to choose! Well, there's one way to do this!" He took out his Auto Blaster and fired on all of them.

"Unngh!" Green Turbo fell from the might of Green Zeo's Zeo Laser Blade. "Guys, regroup!" At his command, the Turbo team retreated to the front of the cave. The other Zeos blocked their way. "Okay guys, I'm up for suggestions!" Suddenly, the sky became immensly hazy. "What's going on?" Immediately, the sky became fully clear. "Tommy did it!"

The four Zeo Rangers started gripping their helmets furiously. Something seemed to be affecting them. Their uniforms grew into light, and fled to the cave, just before their four figures teleported out.

Red Turbo spun around. Red Zeo had started getting up, when he started gripping his helmet. Immediately, his form had vanished. Surprised, Red Turbo ran out of the cave. There, he saw his teammates, somewhat worse for wear, but all right.

"Guys, what happened?"

"I don't know. You knocked down the forcefield, right?"

"Yeah . . ."

"Then the rangers started clutching their heads. Then their powers went into that cave and they teleported out."

"Jason did the same thing, but his uniform didn't disappear, and he didn't teleport."

Then, red lightning surrounded the top of the cave, and materialized into Divatox. Now, she held the Zeo Crystal in her hand.

"Great job, rangers! I have underestimated you. You managed to defeat the Zeo Rangers! Good thing I managed to reclaim the power before your mentor stole my warriors away. And another thing: the leader is still mine, so don't start acting cocky."

Red Turbo said, "Well Divatox, I don't see how you can win now."

"Oh, but there is. Witness the end of your world!"

Divatox held up the Zeo Crystal. The five colors started streaming from it. In a spectacular display, that all at once seemed incredible and frightening, the five streams of light converged in a single spot. Then, the Zeo Crystal started glowing, and the mass in the convergence seemed to get bigger. It was as if the Zeo Crystal was losing its power.

Finally, the Zeo Crystal stopped glowing. The convergence was bigger than a skyscraper. Then, it started to take solid form. Mass reorganized itself, and color shone from the inside. The features of a hideous rock-like monster began to form. Then, in a flash of light, the creature took full solid shape.

"Behold, rangers! Maligore!"

Red Turbo was shocked. "What did you do to the Zeo Crystal?!"

"See for yourself, rangers!" Divatox threw the crystal into the air. When it hit the ground, it made a loud, deafening cracking sound, as the Zeo Crystal crashed into a thousand pieces.
