Trent sneaks into Mesogog's fortress and is taken over by the White Dino Gem. As the White Ranger, he goes on a rampage, battling and defeating both Rangers and monsters. Trent obtains the White Drago Zord, and steals the Stego Zord. He also ambushes Tommy and traps him in amber.

• Somewhere in the city, the Thundersaurus and Dragozord stand facing each other. The White Ranger stands on the head of the Dragozord.

White Ranger: Dragozord, show these fools what you can do.

• He jumps off, landing on the roof of a nearby building. The Dragozord flaps its wins, sending debris flying at the Thundersaurus. Dr. O is standing watching, in morph as the Black Ranger.

Dr. O: No!

• The Thundersaurus stumbles back under the force of the wind, and glass, roof tiles, cars, and debris are sent spinning towards it.

Conner: Hey, no need to get crazy!

---

• Cassidy and Devin come out of an alley, covered in filth after being pelted by the children. The wind blows feathers around them, which stick to their clothes.

Cassidy: My hair! Devin, this way!

• She takes Devin’s hand, trying to pull him left. He resists.

Devin: No! This way!

Cassidy: No Devin, this way, now!

Devin: Cassidy, this way!

Cassidy: No!

• They are split up by people behind them.

---

• The Dragozord flies at the Thundersaurus. It hits the Thundersaurus several times.

Dr. O: They need help!

• He watches as the Dragozord hits the Thundersaurus several more times.

Dr. O: Stegozord! Activate!

• His morpher changes to the Stegozord’s head. The Brachiozord appears, out of which comes the Stegozord.

White Ranger: I was hoping you’d do that.

• He waves his Drago Sword, shooting out white light towards the Stegozord.

White Ranger: Stegozord, you are under my command.

• The White Ranger jumps up, entering the Dragozord.

White Ranger: Dino Stegazord formation.

Dr. O: Uh-oh, not good.

• The Dragozord flies towards the Stegazord, and they combine to create the Dino Stegazord.

Conner: He stole the Stego!

Kira: What?

Ethan: Huh?

White Ranger: Not bad for a new guy, hey?

• The camera pans down the Dino Stegazord, which swings its Stega Stinger.

Dr. O: Man! Now he’s got his own megazord!

• The two mgeazords prepare to fight. There are shots of the megazords, shots of the individual zords and shots of the rangers inside the cockpits.

Kira: Why are you doing this? You’re losing it. White Ranger: No, you’re the one losing it. You’re losing it to me.

• The Dino Stegazord attacks, knocking the rangers back inside the cockpit. The two zords struggle, circling each other.

Ethan: I say we go at him full on! Tricera Fist!

• The Dino Stegazord is knocked back a few paces.

Conner: Tyranno Drill!

White Ranger: Dino Stegazord Stinger!

• The two attacks clash in mid air. The Thundersaurus is knocked back.

Dr. O: Oh no!

• The Thundersaurus is broken apart into its individual zords. The rangers fall out, hitting the ground.

Kira: Brutal.

Ethan: You’re telling me.

• Dr. O runs up, checking on Kira and Conner and then Ethan.

Dr. O: Kira, Conner! Ethan. Are you guys all right?

• Dr. O helps Conner into a sitting position, holding him by the shoulders.

Conner: Yeah, but our zords are seriously tweaked!

• A shot of each of the zords lying on the ground, crying out. Their eyes flash, then go dim. The rangers stand up.

Dr. O: That was just low.

Ethan: Since when do they have bad Power Rangers?

• The Dino Stegazord stands watching the fallen zords.

White Ranger: Now I’ll take the rest of the zords!

• The White Ranger holds up his Drago Sword. It glows.

Dr. O: Not gonna happen!

• Dr. O starts pressing buttons on his morpher.

Kira: What are you doing?

Dr. O: Trying to break the Stegozord away.

• In the Dino Stegozord, the Stegozord’s eyes glow, and red lightening shines over it. The Dino Stegozord breaks apart.

Ethan: Yeah!

• The Stegozord walks away from the Dragozord.

White Ranger: You’ll pay for that.

• The Dragozord flies away. The rangers watch it go.

Rangers: Yeah!

• Ethan elbows Dr. O.

Ethan: Good save, Dr. O!

Dr. O: Thanks, but I doubt if it’ll last. The White Ranger’s power over the Stegozord is too strong.

---

• The White Ranger appears, in a warehouse district.

White Ranger: Huh?

• He clutches his chest, glowing white and crackling with orange lightening. Behind him, Devin comes round the corner.

Devin: It’s…it’s…you’re the White Ranger!

• Devin opens one of his bags, pulling out a camera.

Devin: Please, baby, don’t do it just yet, hang on Mr. Ranger…

• Devin struggles to get his camera ready. As he does, he jerks up, hitting his head against a metal pipe. He passes out. The camera lands on the floor, pointing at the White Ranger as he demorphs.

---

• The Dino Lab.

Conner: Well, that was like, the worst day ever.

Ethan: Brutal.

• Dr. O walks past them.

Dr. O: There’s going to be a lot of days like this, guys.

Kira: Uh, what ever happened to the glass is half full?

Dr. O: Sometimes it’s not. Sometimes it’s empty, but that’s when you’ve gotta dig deep. That’s when the qualities that made you guys rangers, become most important.

Conner: You’re right. What can we do?

Dr. O: Go have a little fun. Ethan, isn’t there a new video game you wanna check out?

• Ethan shakes his head.

Ethan: I never thought I’d hear myself saying this, but I have no desire to go near a computer.

Kira: I know what you mean. I haven’t picked up my guitar in days.

Dr. O: Go on. Teacher’s orders.

• The teens give him reluctant looks.

Dr. O: Go!

• They leave. Dr. O looks after them.

Dr. O: Enjoy yourselves now. Because this is only going to get worse.

---

• Conner is at a soccer practise. He dribbles the ball, shoots and scores. He sees Trent, sitting on a bench with his head in his hands, and turns to ask another player:

Conner: Hey, how long’s that guy been sitting there?

Other Player: Don’t know, didn’t really notice.

• Conner runs over to Trent

Conner: Hey Trent!

Trent: Huh?

Conner: Are you alright?

• Trent sits on the bench, rubbing his head. He looks pale and sweaty, his eyes swollen.

Trent: Yeah, I’m fine.

• Trent’s vision blurs as he looks up at Conner.

Conner: No offence, dude, but you don’t look fine.

• Conner reaches out to touch Trent. Trent knocks his hand away.

Trent: No! I’m just taking a rest.

Conner: Maybe I should call your dad or something.

• Trent jumps up and pushes Conner away.

Trent: No, don’t! Just leave me alone.

• Trent walks away. Other Player walks up to Conner.

Other Player: You know that guy?

Conner: Yeah, from school. Look, I better go check on him.

Other Player: Dude, forget it, he’s gone!

Conner: I’ll see you guys next time.

• Conner runs after Trent.

---

• Hayley’s Cyber-café. Cassidy walks in, covered in dirt and feathers.

Hayley: Woah, are you alright, Cassidy? Were you there when the attack happened?

Cassidy: Look at me, it was awful, they attacked me from all sides, they’re monsters, all of them.

Hayley: You’re lucky to be alive. Half the city looks like a tornado hit it.

Cassidy: You mean there were others?

Hayley: Yeah. No one got hurt.

Cassidy: That’s good. Someone should call their parents. Or they should be grounded!

• Hayley gives Cassidy a strange look.

Hayley: Okay. That’s a thought.

• Cassidy rolls her eyes.

Hayley: Do you want a drink or something?

Cassidy: Yes, an extra tall soy latte, and don’t skimp on the foam.

• Hayley goes to get the drink. Devin appears from behind Cassidy, also messy and covered in feathers.

Devin: Cass. I can’t believe that you’re alright.

Cassidy: Do I look alright? Do I smell alright?

• Devin sniffs Cassidy.

Devin: Oh, yeah, yeah, true. Now that you mention it, it’s kinda…

• Devin waves his fingers in front of his nose. Cassidy glares.

Cassidy: Where did you go, anyway?

Devin: I wish I knew, I mean…I was just walking down this alley and then um, well…I was walking down this alley and well…yeah, yeah, that’s the last thing I can remember actually and then I just walked in here and found you.

Cassidy: Great! This is just great. What is it going to take for me to get the White Ranger on tape?

Devin: I don’t know.

• Camera pans down to Devin’s bag, which contains his camera and footage of the White Ranger.

Devin: I guess we just have to keep trying.

---

• Conner jogging down path surrounded by grass and trees. There is a small cliff leading down to a river with a stony beach. He has changed clothes from his soccer kit. He is looking around, searching for Trent.

Conner: Trent!

• Conner jogs to edge of cliff.

Conner: I know he went this way.

• The White Ranger appears from nowhere, jumping through the air and knocking Conner off the cliff. Conner morphs as he falls, the morph completing just as he hits the ground. The White Ranger summersaults overhead, landing further down the beach. Conner gets up off the ground.

Conner: Oh great, it’s you again.

White Ranger: Tell you what. This time I’ll give you a sporting chance.

• The White Ranger pulls out his Drago Sword and throws it away. It lands between them and to the side.

Conner: You’re going down!

• Conner drops into fighting stance.

White Ranger: Oh really.

• White Ranger ran super fast, hitting Conner a few times and knocking him to the ground.

White Ranger: Looks like it’s you that’s down.

• Conner gets up.

Conner: That’s it.

• Conner pulls out his blaster and points it at the White Ranger.

White Ranger: Can’t fight me without a weapon, huh?

• Conner hesitates, then pulls blaster away.

Conner: Alright.

• Conner throws blaster off to the side.

Conner: Why do we have to fight at all? We’re both rangers!

White Ranger: You’re good, I’m evil. It’s a pretty simple concept.

• White Ranger runs at Conner.

Conner: Wait!

• White Ranger hits Conner, knocking him through the air several metres. Conner hits the ground.

• Mesogog’s lair. Mesogog is watching the fight on his viewscreen.

Mesogog: Zeltrax.

Zeltrax: Yes, my lord Mesogog?

Mesogog: How are we proceeding?

Zeltrax: On schedule, sir. Angor has been upgraded. If our plan is successful, he will occupy the other rangers.

Mesogog: Good. I want to have a chat with this White Ranger.

Zeltrax: I will make it so.

• Zeltrax leaves the room.

---

• The Dino Lab. Dr. O is sitting working. Kira walks in.

Kira: Hey.

• Dr. O looks up as she walks over to him.

Dr. O: Should have known you’d have a tough time with that.

• Ethan walks in.

Ethan: She’s not the only one.

• Alarm beeps. Angor, now upgraded, appears on the viewscreen. He is giant-sized.

Angor: Bigger and better and rougher and tougher! Hope you’re ready, rangers!

Dr. O: Good timing guys. Hope Conner isn’t having too much fun.

• Alarm beeps again. Viewscreen goes to Conner, lying on the ground. He uses his communicator to say:

Conner: Hey Dr. O, I’m in trouble here.

Dr. O: Hang on, Conner. I’ll send some back up.

• On viewscreen, Conner rolls away, and the White Ranger appears.

Ethan: I’m on it.

Dr. O: Okay, Kira, looks like we’ll have to deal with this guy ourselves.

• They get into position.

Dr. O: Let’s do it!

• They morph.

---

• Conner stumbles to his feet, holding his shoulder.

Conner: You’re out of your mind!

White Ranger: Now, now. Let’s not judge, especially since I have the sword.

• White Ranger attacks Conner with sword, hitting him across the chest several times. Conner manages to grab the White Ranger’s wrist.

White Ranger: This is getting old. Let’s finish this once and for all.

Conner: Woah! Looks like I tapped into a whole new level of power!

---

• Back to Ethan. The tyrannodrone is still sitting on is cycle behind him.

Ethan: Get off me!

• Ethan finds a clearing between several warehouses, where a crowd of tyrannodrones waits.

Ethan: This must be your stop!

• Ethan brakes and turns sharply, knocking the tyrannodrone off. Several tyrannodrones attack him. He hits of kicks them away. Another comes to sit on the back of his cycle.

Ethan: I said no free rides!

• Ethan accelerates quickly, knocking the tyrannodrone off. He races through the crowd of tyrannodrones, shooting several. The tyannodrones all fall to the ground.

Mesogog: Don’t let me interrupt.

White Ranger: Who are you?

Mesogog: I am Mesogog.

• Conner stays on the ground, arms wrapped around his chest. Mesogog turns to the White Ranger.

Mesogog: Now, we have some business.

White Ranger: I have no business with you.

Mesogog: I’ll make you a deal. I’ll help you defeat the rest of the Power Rangers, and you can be one of my subjects when I rule the planet.

White Ranger: I’ll take a pass on that. Dragozord, online!

• The White Ranger’s morpher beeps. The Dragozord appears overhead.

White Ranger: I’m out of here.

• The White Ranger jumps up, into the Dragozord. Mesogog and Zeltrax watch him fly away. They approach Conner, who is still lying on the ground. Conner looks up, panting.

• Hayley’s Cybercafe. Cassidy, clean again, is sitting at a computer. Devin, also clean, runs up behind her.

Devin: Cass, I have got it Cass, I remember, I remember what happened.

• Cassidy folds her arms.

Cassidy: Yeah, yeah, first of all, that shirt doesn’t go with those pants.

Devin: Oh, I know, I kind of had to get dressed in a hurry to come down here, and tell you that I remember.

Cassidy: Remember what?

Devin: Remember what happened this afternoon!

Cassidy: Yeah, I’m sure it’s really exciting, but right now I’m trying to catch up on all the homework I missed out on while we were getting pelted with garbage.

Devin: The White Ranger.

• Cassidy’s eyes widen. She stands up with a gasp and takes Devin’s arm. They start to walk through the cybercafe.

Cassidy: What about him?

Devin: Well, he was in an alley, and um, I got him on tape.

Cassidy: You did? And did you see who it was?

Devin: Uh, no, because I kind of knocked my head and passed out before I got that far.

Cassidy: Yeah, but you said you got it on tape, so let me see!

Devin: Oh, I knew I’d forgot something, my camera, it’s back at my house.

• Cassidy grabs Devin’s shirt, yanking him forwards.

Cassidy: Devin, you get my hopes up one more time, and I swear, I will follow you till you’re old and wrinkled, haunting your every waking moment.

Devin: Okay, uh…I’ll be right back.

---

• The Dino Lab.

Kira: I don’t get it. One minute the White Ranger’s fighting us, and then the next he’s blowing up Mesogog’s freak.

• Ethan walks past her. Conner stands behind them, rubbing his head.

Ethan: Whoever he is, he could definitely use an anger management course.

Conner: So, Dr. O, what was with the whole Super Dino Power thing?

• Dr. O and Hayley are sat at the computers. Dr. O gets up and walks towards the teens. Hayley turns round in her chair.

Dr. O: Look, you guys are only beginning to access your full potential.

Ethan: I like the sound of that.

Conner: I’m going to the warehouse to find that fossil finder we left.

Dr. O: No, you guys go home and get some rest. I’ll get the fossil finder.

Conner: Thanks.

• The teens turn and walk away. Dr. O goes back to the computers.

Hayley: Here you go, Tommy.

• Dr. O takes the bag.

Dr. O: Thanks. I’ll be back soon. Hayley: Be careful.

Dr. O: I’ll be fine.

• Dr. O leaves. Hayley looks after him.

---

• A warehouse. Dr. O kicks down a door and goes in. He walks through the warehouse slowly, looking around. He sees the fossil finder and some high tech equipment, and runs towards it.

Dr. O: What’s this?

• He reaches out to touch he, stopping when he hears a crash behind him. He turns to see Trent, who has fallen against a barrel and is moaning.

Dr. O: Trent!

It knocks Dr. O away and sends Trent flying into some more barrels. Trent morphs into the White Ranger. The White Ranger laughs. Dr. O pushes himself up.

Dr. O: I never would have seen that coming.

White Ranger: Fight or perish, Black Ranger!

Dr. O: This is not going to be pretty.

• Dr. O morphs. He pulls out his Thundermax Saber. The White Ranger uses his Drago Sword. The two fight. Dr. O gets knocked back into a barrel, but manages to get away. The two exchange blows, the White Ranger getting in more hits than Dr. O.

Dr. O: We can help you!

• The White Ranger kicks Dr. O away, knocking him into some boxes. He turns to do something with the technical equipment.

White Ranger: You’re the one who needs help.

• Dr. O holds his morpher up to his mouth and speaks into it.

Dr. O: Hayley, listen!

• In the Dino Lair, Hayley runs forward to watch on the viewscreen.

Hayley: Yeah?

Dr. O: The White Ranger is…

• Hayley watches as the White Ranger blasts Dr. O with an orange ray, fossilising him in amber. Hayley gasps.

Hayley: Tommy! Come in, Tommy!

• The White Ranger walks away.

White Ranger: Let’s keep this our little secret.

• The White Ranger laughs.
