ABC Kids April 3, 2010 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Re-Version Ep 14 Green With Evil Part 1

Jason Lee Scott, the Red Ranger, is gearing up for a karate match at a Martial Arts Expo at the Angel Grove Youth Center. His friends and fellow Power Rangers are on the sidelines to cheer him on. Despite their encouragement, Jason takes a look at his competitor, newcomer Tommy Oliver, and sees that he will have a huge challenge on his hands. The match begins, and Jason opens a 2-1 lead on Tommy. Tommy then takes command, scoring three straight points to take a 4-2 lead. Jason recovers to tie the match at 4-4 as the final bell rings. The judge declares "no winner", and the match ends in a draw. As Jason and Tommy part ways, they express mutual respect for the other's skills. As the Rangers part ways, Kimberly stays behind to get another glimpse of Tommy, whom she finds attractive. Trini suggests that Kim might see Tommy at school later on. The next day at Angel Grove High School, Kim is at her locker when the school bullies, Bulk and Skull, start harassing her. Tommy intervenes, demanding that the two leave her alone. They threaten to teach the newcomer a lesson, but Tommy intimidates them with some martial arts moves, and the duo make a hasty retreat. Impressed, Kim introduces herself to Tommy and invites him to join her to hang out at the Youth Center. Tommy agrees to Kim's delight. Rita Repulsa has also taken a liking to Tommy. Awed by his martial arts skills, she decides to use him for her purposes. To test him, she sends a squad of Putties to ambush him in an alleyway as he is taking a shortcut to meet Kimberly at the Youth Center. Though caught off guard at first, Tommy manages to defeat the Putties with his karate skills and a trash can lid. Rita, pleased with Tommy's performance, teleports to Earth in a gust of wind and captures Tommy with her magic wand, taking him back to her palace on the moon. She coats his body with magical green wax and chants incantations to cast a powerful spell on him, brainwashing him into becoming her servant. When he arises from his bed of wax, his eyes are glowing green, and he asks in a monotone voice how he can serve his empress. Rita assigns him to go to the Command Center and disable Zordon, and then go destroy the Power Rangers, identifying each Ranger by name. To accomplish his mission, she gives him a Sixth Power Coin - the Dragon Coin - and he morphs into the Green Ranger for the first time, dedicating himself to the fall of Zordon and the destruction of the Power Rangers. The Evil Green Ranger goes to the Command Center, which he can enter since he has a Power Coin. He sneaks up behind Alpha 5, who is recharging his energies, and inserts a virus-infected CD-ROM into his disk drive, causing him to scream and convulse. Zordon, who is in a meditative state at the time of the Green Ranger's entry, demands that the intruder reveal himself. Tommy does so, boasting of his newly acquired powers. Zordon, knowing that the Green Ranger is Tommy, tries to tell him that he is under an evil spell and offers to save him, but Tommy rejects Zordon's offer. Then, despite Zordon's pleading, he begins ripping out the Command Center's control panels and wiring, severing communication with Zordon and causing him to disappear from his energy tube. With an evil laugh, Tommy declares his work to be done and departs the Command Center in a flash of green-and-yellow flame. Elsewhere, the boys are waxing Billy's car, the RADBUG, when the girls arrive. Kim is in a bad mood, disappointed that Tommy failed to meet her at the Youth Center, and Zack speculates that something might have come up. At that moment, the Rangers' Wrist Communicators go off. They can barely make out Alpha's erratic, garbled voice before the communicators fizzle out. The teleportation mechanisms fail, leading the Rangers to surmise that something is wrong. They use the RADBUG to get to the Command Center, where they are horrified to see the place in a shambles, Zordon missing, and Alpha staggering around talking in a warped voice. Billy, correctly guessing that Alpha has a virus, succeeds in removing the CD-ROM, rendering him semi-operational. The Rangers demand to know who attacked the Command Center, but Alpha can tell them nothing, as the virus scrambled his memory banks. Meanwhile, Rita, desiring to lure the Power Rangers into a trap, uses her magic wand to grow Goldar to giant-size. The Power Rangers, seeing this in the Viewing Globe, morph into action to confront him. After a brief battle with some Putties, the Rangers summon their Dinozords, form the Megazord, and draw the Power Sword to battle Goldar. Suddenly, Goldar disappears, and the Green Ranger, who has been watching from below, leaps atop the Megazord, breaks into the cockpit, declares, "Long live Empress Rita!", and knocks the Rangers out of the cockpit to the ground below. Then, while Rita watches from her lunar palace with glee, he then leaps down to confront them and single-handedly deals all five Rangers a decisive defeat. The Rangers retreat to the Command Center, stunned by the surprise attack from this "guy in a green costume" and plead with Alpha for answers, but Alpha can tell them nothing. Suddenly, Alpha lurches, falls forward and shuts down; the virus is still in his system. The Power Rangers slowly accept the reality that they will have to face this new challenge on their own without aid from Zordon, as Jason warns the others that they have gotten a taste of the Green Ranger's full power and have only made it through the first round of what will be a major battle. At that moment, the Evil Green Ranger appears in the Viewing Globe, taunting the Power Rangers and vowing to destroy them all.
