The Song of Guitardo (MMPR Orange Ranger: Thunder and Ninja)

Inside the Youth Center, Kimberly was playing the guitar, when Zack and Sophie sat down beside her. Kimberly and smiled at them, when she saw them beside her.
"I didn't know you could play the guitar, Kim." Sophie said.
"Something I learned years ago, Soph." Kimberly said.
"That sounded great, Kim." Zack said. "What is it?"
"Just something I've been working on." Kimberly said. "Hey, we still on for the picnic tomorrow in the park?"
"Oh, as far as I know we are." Zack replied. "The others already headed out to get supplies."
"We'll have everything sorted for tomorrow, Kim...unless the weather's terrible." Sophie said.
"Um, Zack, can you help me?" Kimberly asked.
"Sure, Kim. What's up?" Zack asked, while Sophie nodded.
"Um. Okay, I've been working on this song like I said, and I'm having a really hard time in the lyrics, and I know how good you really are with words..." Kimberly said.
"You want the Zackman to lend his magic touch?" Zack asked.
"Yes." Kimberly grinned.
"No problem." Zack said.
"Can you help a little too, Soph?" Kimberly asked.
"I'm not really good with lyrics, Kim, but I'll help out the best I can." Sophie explained.
"Okay, thanks. This is what I have so far." Kimberly said.
She began to play, as Zack and Sophie listened.
"Down the road
We never know..."
----In the palace, Lord Zedd was standing on the balcony, zooming in his goggles to see what was going on.
"So, the Pink Ranger likes to write songs on the guitar, does she?" he asked himself, watching Kimberly play to Zack and Sophie. "Ha! Then it shall serve as the perfect instrument for her and her fellow Rangers' demise."
He removed the zoom from his goggles.
"But your evilness, a guitar is wood." Goldar explained. "It's not alive. You can't make a monster."
"Where there is wood, there are insects." Lord Zedd said, pushing Goldar.
"Insects, lovely." Baboo said, as he and Squatt walked up to them. "Cicadas?"
"A cicada - perfect." Lord Zedd said. "With it, I will create my Guitardo monster."
He walked to his throne.
"It will sing a spellbinding melody that will lure the Rangers into my control, and they will dance to a different tune - mine." he said, as sat down in is throne.
----The next day, the Rangers were at the park. Billy and Tommy were playing catch, with Jason watching them, while Zack and the girls sat by the picnic basket. Billy kicked the ball to Tommy, who caught it, then they ran towards each other, then Tommy put the ball behind himself, before passing it to Billy.
"What a perfect day." Zack said, as Kimberly played her guitar. "This is the life."
"You said it, Zack." Sophie said, looking up at the sky.
"Hey, guys, come on over. It's time to eat." Trini said.
Jason passed the ball to Billy, before they and Tommy ran over to the others, when Richie came over on a bicycle behind them.
"Hi." Kimberly said, spotting him.
Richie stopped by them and took of his helmet. "Hey, guys." he said.
"Um, do you want to join us?" Trini asked.
"Thanks but I can't." Richie replied. "I got to get home. We're still unpacking from the move. We've got boxes everywhere. Maybe some other time."
"Sure." Trini said, sounding disappointed. "Have fun."
"Yeah, maybe." Richie said. "See you guys later."
Heput his helmet back on.
"Bye." Kimberly said.
"See you, Richie." Sophie said.
"Bye." Trini said, as Richie road off.
"Nice guy." Jason said.
"Yeah, too bad he couldn't stay." Billy said.
"Come on, are we going to eat, or what?" Tommy asked.
Dave then walked by them.
"Hey there, guys." he said spotting them, as they started to eat.
"Hi, Dave." Sophie said, swallowing part of a sandwich.
"You want to join us?" Zack asked.
"Yeah, there's plenty of food for one more." Tommy said.
"Sorry, guys, I can't." Dave said. "I've got to head to the grocery store. You see, my Mom's doing the housework and Dad's at work, so I-"
"We understand, Dave." Sophie said.
"See you guys later." Dave said, waving at them as he left.
"See you, Dave." Sophie said, waving back.
"Yeah, see you." Kimberly said.
"Another nice guy." Jason said.
"You said it, Jase." Sophie said.
"Help!" someone screamed from behind a bush, further away in the park. "Help! Oh!"
Skull then came out from behind a bush, dressed up as a princess and sounding like a girl.
"Help! I'm being eaten by a giant scary monster!" he said.
He then looked annoyed.
"Bulk, this is lame." he said, in his normal voice, before walking off.
Bulk then came out from the bush, dressed up as the monster.
"Come on, Skull." he said, running after Skull.
Skull then stopped and Bulk walked up to him.
"Remember the plan?" Bulk asked. "You're going to have to be more believable if we're going to hope to lure the Power Rangers to us. This is our last chance to get a good look at them."
"Bulk, why can't you be bait for a change?" Skull asked.
"Fine, you want me to be the bait?" Bulk asked, walking away. "I'll be the bait. I'll probably make better bait than you ever would."
He then stopped walking.
"What do you mean you'll make better bait than I?" Skull asked, walking over to Bulk. "I'm the best bait around."
"You're right, Skull, you should be the bait." Bulk said, before turning to face Skull.
"Yeah, glad you see it my...way." Skull said.
Bulk then hit his helmet. "Hop to it, Princess." he said.
Skull then ran off and then he chased after him, with Skull screaming.
The teens had just finished eating their food, when they heard Skull scream.
"What was that?" Billy asked, as they turned to where the noise was.
"Sounds like trouble. Come on." Jason said, as they got up, Kimberly putting her guitar down.
Bulk then chased Skull around a bush.
"Oh, be scared." he said.
"There's a big scary monster!" Skull screamed, in a girly voice. "Hurry, please!"
The Rangers kept on running when Skull charged directions.
"Ooh-hoo!" he screamed, as the teens saw them. "I'm a maiden in distress!"
"Blah..!" Bulk yelled, before they saw the teens.
"Man, I don't believe this." Zack said.
"And I thought they looked stupid on Power Ranger Day." Sophie complemented.
"Yeah, me too, Soph." Trini grinned.
"Bulk and Skull, what are you guys doing?" Kimberly asked.
Trini rolled her eyes.
"We don't want you geeks!" Bulk said. "Get out of here. We want the Power Rangers."
"Yeah, scram!" Skull screamed like a girl. "You're going to ruin everything!"
"You know, you shouldn't cry wolf." Trini said.
"Cry what?" Skull asked, with the woman's voice.
"It means you shouldn't cry help unless you need it." Jason explained.
"That's right, 'cause if you do it enough, one day when you really do need help, no one's going to believe you." Tommy said.
Bulk grunted. "Nice try." he said. "Now beat it."
"Yeah, hit the road..." Skull said, in the girly voice, before deepening it. ".toad."
The teens all shook their heads and walked away from Bulk and Skull.
"Can you believe those dweebs?" Skull asked, in his normal voice. "They think there's actually wolves around here."
"I don't see any wolves." Bulk said.
He put his helmet shield down and then started chasing Skull again, who once again screamed like a girl.
----In the palace, Lord Zedd got up from his throne.
"My spell to create the Guitardo monster is ready." he said. "Time to face the music, Power Rangers."
"Oh, goody!" Squatt said, while Baboo laughed nervously. "Oh, boy."
"The monster will use the Pink Ranger's guitar to work his hypnotic music." Lord Zedd explained, sitting down in his throne. "Soon they will all be under my control."
"If those Power Brats don't outsmart your monster again." Goldar said.
"Silence, you insolent fool!" Lord Zedd said, as Squatt covered his eyes.
----At the park, Bulk chased Skull past a bunch of trees.
"Save me! I'm a poor little defenceless maiden!" Skull cried, as they ran past another tree. "Power Rangers, please hear my calls and rescue me!"
He then stopped, having run out of breath, causing Bulk to stop too.
"Bulky, can we take a break?" Skull asked. "I'm tired. Even monsters need a break."
"We don't take a break until I say we take a break." Bulk said.
Skull then passed out from exhaustion.
"Okay, it's time for a break." Bulk said. "Just let me get this helmet off."
He began to pull his helmet, but couldn't get it off.
"Uh...Skull?" he asked.
Skull looked up at Bulk. "What?" he asked.
"Give me a hand here, will you?" Bulk asked, trying to get his helmet off again, causing Skull to laugh. "It's not funny, it's stuck. Now, get up here and help me get it off."
"All right, all right, I'm coming." Skull said, getting up.
He walked behind Bulk and then began to pull the helmet off, only to get knocked against a tree. Skull then looked and saw a big bug on his shoulder, which he then flicked off, but it flew onto Bulk's shoulder.
(The palace)
Lord Zedd was sitting in his throne. "The stage is set." he said, before casting a spell out of his wand towards Earth. "Now, let the show begin."
(The park)
Bulk was looking at the bug on his shoulder, when Lord Zedd's spell hit it and turned it into Guitardo. He laughed as his weight shoved Bulk down into the grass, while Skull looked terrified.
"Wahoo! Yeah!" Guitardo smirked.
He then walked off Bulk, who then got back on his feet, his helmet liner over his face.
"What you do that for?" he asked Skull.
"'Cause I felt like it, big boy." Guitardo said, as Bulk lifted his helmet liner. "You want to make something of it?"
Bulk put his helmet liner back down and then screamed and ran away.
"Let's rock 'n' roll." Guitardo said, as Bulk ran behind Skull.
He then grabbed Skull and they both ran away, with Guitardo chasing them.
----In the Command Center, the alarm went off.
"Alpha, my sensors have detected an unusual disruption in the Morphin' Grid." Zordon said. "Contact the Rangers immediately."
"Right, Zordon." Alpha said, working at the computer.
(The park)
The Rangers were all standing by the tree their picnic basket was, laughing at what they thought Bulk and Skull were doing, when their communicators went off.
"Zordon, we read you." Jason answered, while the others checked to see if they were alone.
(Command Center)
"Rangers, Lord Zedd has unleashed a new monster in the park." Zordon explained.
(The park)
The Rangers looked around them but couldn't see anything.
"You must teleport to the Command Center, immediately." Zordon said through their communicators.
"But, Zordon, if the monster's in the park shouldn't we go after him?" Zack asked.
(Command Center)
"No." Zordon said. "This monster has mind-controlling powers."
(The park)
The Rangers didn't like the sound of that.
"Alpha and I must prepare you before you attempt to fight him." Zordon explained.
"We're on our way." Jason said
The others made sure no one was around, before they all teleported.
(Command Center)
Alpha was walking to another computer when they arrived.
"What do you know about this new monster, Zordon?" Jason asked.
"It is called the Guitardo." Zordon said. "Tommy, while I fill the others in, Alpha must perform some tests on you to analyse your remaining powers."
Kimberly turned to Tommy.
"Come on, Tommy, this won't hurt a bit." Alpha said.
Tommy then sat down.
"Zedd's Guitardo monster uses music to control the minds of its victims." Zordon explained, as the rest of the Rangers turned to the viewing globe, and saw Guitardo pick up Kimberly's guitar. "It will take great inner strength to defeat him."
"Hey, that's my guitar!" Kimberly said.
"What would he want with Kimberly's guitar?" Trini asked.
"You got me, Trini." Sophie said.
"He will undoubtedly use it to produce the hypnotic music, which is his weapon." Zordon explained, as Guitardo turned Kimberly's guitar into his own.
"What is that bug up to?" Zack asked.
"The Guitardo monster has been sent to use his spellbinding music to place you in a trance and deliver you to Lord Zedd." Zordon explained.
"How do we fight something like that, Zordon?" Jason asked.
"I believe we must concentrate on filling our mind with our own thoughts. Never wavering." Billy suggested.
"Exactly, Billy." Zordon said. "It will be difficult. You must maintain control of your thoughts at all times in order to resist succumbing to the Guitardo's spell."
Alpha then finished analysing Tommy.
"What's the diagnosis, Alpha?" Tommy asked.
The others all turned to face Tommy.
"Come on." Tommy said. "Give it to me straight. I can take it."
Kimberly didn't like the sound of that, prompting Sophie and Billy to put a hand on her shoulder.
"It's as we feared, Tommy." Alpha said. "Your recent battles with Zedd's monsters have left your powers very weakened."
"But my powers aren't totally gone, are they?" Tommy asked.
"No, Tommy, but I'm afraid of what remains of your powers could fail at any time." Zordon explained.
"Oh, man." Tommy sighed.
Kimberly then walked past Billy towards Alpha.
"Um, isn't there anything you can do?" she asked. "I mean, re-energize him the way you did before?"
"That is no longer an option, Kimberly." Alpha explained.
"You mean, if you try to do that again, it probably won't work or something?" Sophie inquired.
"I'm afraid so, Sophie." Alpha said.
"Tommy, it would not be wise for you to attempt to join the battle against the Guitardo." Zordon said. "Not only could you place yourself in danger but the other Rangers as well."
Tommy looked at the others, as Kimberly stepped back. Jason then walked forward and put his hand on Tommy's shoulder.
"Go on." Tommy said, as Jason took his hand off his shoulder. "You've got work to do."
They then linked hands together.
"Hang in there, bro." Jason said.
"We'll give him one for you, Tommy." Sophie promised, touching his shoulder.
"Thanks, Soph." Tommy said, as Sophie joined the others. "I'll be cheering from the sidelines, guys."
"It's morphin time." Jason said.
"Camptosaurus!"
"Mastodon!"
"Pterodactyl!"
"Triceratops!"
"Saber-tooth Tiger!"
"Tyrannosaurus!"
----They then arrived at the park where Guitardo was, and then got ready to fight him.
"Welcome, Power Rangers." Guitardo said, once he spotted them.
"Alright, guys, let's get to work." Jason said, as they got into their fighting posses.
"So glad you could join me. Sit back. Make yourselves comfortable." Guitardo said, spinning around. "It's show time."
He began to play his guitar.
"Come to me, you bod's are mine
See my music fill your mind"
The Rangers didn't like his music one bit.
"Ah, man, looks like we got big trouble." Zack said, before Guitardo continued singing.
"Power Rangers, submit your minds
Feel my music counting time."
The Rangers had ignored his singing.
"Oh! Yeah, yeah, yeah." he said, before he stopped playing. "Hey, no fair. You're not even listening to me."
"You're crazy." Zack said. "Why should we do what you say?"
"Because you have no choice." Guitardo said.
"We always have a choice, string lips!" Sophie retorted.
"Well, you don't, Rangers." Guitardo said, before he played again, this time getting the notes out.
"Oh, no!" Zack moaned, as he began to feel the effects of the music.
He was then lifted up by the melody.
"Oh, man, I can't take much more of this." he moaned.
"Hold on, Zack." Billy said, as Zack was lifted further into the air.
"Don't give up, Zack." Kimberly said. "Concentrate."
They then all tried to help him down.
"Who's next?" Guitardo asked, spinning around. "Whoo!"
He then started playing again, and the hypnotic music got Billy, Sophie, Jason and Trini, making them stop.
"I have to concentrate. Wha! Ah!" Billy moaned, as they were lifted up into the air.
"Oh, man!" Zack said, as they joined him.
"Wha?!" Billy moaned.
"This dude's going to be tougher than I thought!" Jason said.
"You're right there, Jase!" Sophie said.
"Hang on, you guys!" Kimberly said, who was still on the ground. "I'll think of something."
"Well, Pink Ranger, aren't you the songwriter?" Guitardo asked. "Let's see if you can come up with some lyrics for this little tune."
He began to play again.
"Oh..." Kimberly moaned, walking backwards. "Have to concentrate."
Guitardo then started singing.
"Pretty Pink Ranger, last one to go
The sweeter the music, the faster she goes!"
----In the Command Center, Tommy, Alpha and Zordon all saw Jason, Sophie, Zack, Trini and Billy being hung up in the air by Guitardo's music in the viewing globe.
"Our worst fears have been realized." Zordon said. "Guitardo has managed to capture the minds of five of the Rangers."
They then saw Kimberly backing away from Guitardo.
"Only Kimberly has been able to resist his spell." Zordon sighed.
Tommy then turned to face Zordon.
"I have to morph, Zordon." he said. "Powers or not, I just can't stand by and watch my friends be destroyed. Kimberly can't hold out much longer on her own."
"But, Tommy, it's much too dangerous." Alpha said, getting Tommy's attention.
"I don't care." Tommy said. "I'm a Power Ranger till the end."
"I commend you for your courage, Tommy." Zordon said. "I can see there is no other alternative. Remember - you must keep your mind focused at all times. Go now and save your friends and let the power protect you."
"It's morphin time!" Tommy shouted. "Dragonzord!"
----He arrived at the park and moved Kimberly out of the way just before Guitardo's music could get her.
"Kimberly, are you alright?" he asked.
"Yeah, but he got the others." Kimberly said. "We got to help them."
"I know. That's why I'm here. Stay back." Tommy said, putting his hands on Kimberly's shoulders. "I'll get this goon."
"Okay." Kimberly said, running in front of him. "Tommy, be careful."
"Right!" Tommy said, as he charged at Guitardo.
"And concentrate!" Kimberly said.
Tommy then tried to kick Guitardo, but missed as he ducked. Tommy then tried to kick him again, but he blocked it with his hand, before hitting Tommy's chest with his guitar, then stabbed him in the belly with it, and then he tackled Tommy with it, knocking him down. He then tried to hit Tommy with his guitar before he could get back up, but Tommy grabbed it with his hands, and then kicked Guitardo away from him.
"Not bad, Greenie." Guitardo said, as Tommy got back up.
"Yeah," he said, as Kimberly ran up to him. "but you haven't seen anything yet."
"Give it up, Guitardo!" Kimberly shouted.
"Intermission, I'll take a bow, but soon you'll be mine anyhow." Guitardo said. "Don't just stand and stare-join me at the fair."
He then disappeared.
"Man!" Tommy said, as they looked around. "The fair, huh? I'm going after him."
"Okay, but what about them?" Kimberly asked.
They both looked up at the others, still hovering above the ground.
"Whoa!" Billy said.
"You stay here and contact Zordon." Tommy said. "Maybe there's a way to break the spell."
He then ran off after Guitardo.
----In the Command Center, Alpha had seen the whole thing on the viewing globe.
"AY-Yi-Yi-Yi-Yi!" Alpha said, who had seen the whole thing in the viewing globe. "The Guitardo monster has lured Tommy to the fairgrounds."
"Zordon, what can we do for Jason and the others?" Kimberly asked, through her communicator. "Is there anyway to break the spell?"
"The only way to free the other Rangers is to destroy the Guitardo." Zordon explained.
"All right, Alpha, you watch over them." Kimberly said. "I'm going to go help Tommy."
"AY-Yi-Yi-Yi-Yi!" Alpha said.
----Meanwhile, Tommy was just outside the fairgrounds, when he walked into them.
"Alright, you tin-eared slime bug, where are you?" he asked himself.
The curtains to the stage then opened up, and Guitardo was on the other side.
"Green Ranger, I'm over here." he said. "You just have to follow your ears."
He walked to the middle of the stage, as the curtains closed behind him.
"I know you're here somewhere." Tommy said, since he didn't hear Guitardo, before spotting him. "Huh?"
"Ah, Green Ranger, welcome to your nightmare." Guirardo said. "Now, I'd like to play my latest song for all my fans out there. It's called 'Green is a Goner' and I wrote it for you."
"The only one who's a goner around here is you." Tommy said, pointing to Guitardo.
He then brought out his Dragon Dagger, and then jumped towards Guitardo, and tried to hit him with his dagger, only to miss as Guitardo moved out of the way. Tommy then tried to hit him again, but he blocked Tommy's dagger with his guitar, and then dodged as Tommy tried to kick him. He then tried to hit Tommy with his guitar, but Tommy rolled forward to avoid it, and then blocked another attack from Guitardo with his dagger. Their weapons remained locked slightly, before Tommy pushed the guitar away, only for Guitardo to whack Tommy several times with it, knocking him off the stage.
"That was a good warm-up, but now it's time to play your finale." Guitardo said.
"Oh, man," Tommy said, getting back up. "I got to concentrate."
"Two, three, four..." Guitardo said, before he started playing. "Whoo! Ha-ha!" He then jumped in joy. "Yeah!" he then spun around. "Whoo!"
He then started sending his music towards Tommy.
"Listen hard and listen good
I got you like I knew I would."
Tommy was then lifted into the air like the others were.
"Not...just...yet!" he moaned.
He then played his Dragon Dagger, causing him to fall onto the ground.
"What?" Guitardo asked, confused as to what had happened.
"Whoa!" Tommy said, getting up. "Fight music with music. That's it. Come on!"
"No way." Guitardo muttered, walking towards Tommy. "I don't do duet's, Greenie. I'm strictly a solo act, you dig?"
"Yeah. Dig this." Tommy said, jumping towards him.
"Oh, no it ain't gonna go this way" Guitaro sang.
He sent his music up to Tommy, which then knocked him back to the ground.
"How about a showdown duel?" he asked, as Tommy got back up. "I'll win. See if I don't."
"I can't move my arm!" Tommy moaned, as he struggled to move. "It feels so heavy!"
The ground beneath him then began to sink into the ground by the music.
"I got to focus and not let him get me." Tommy moaned.
Guitardo then stopped playing.
"You're not going to win!" Tommy moaned.
He struggled to get his Dragon Dagger to his mouth, but then he dropped it.
"Ready for your swan song, Tommy boy?" Guitardo asked.
(The palace)
Lord Zedd laughed, having seen the whole thing from the balcony.
"Yes!" he said, triumphantly. "Victory is a sweet melody."
Goldar then laughed, along with Squatt and Baboo.
"Encore!" Squatt said.
(The fairgrounds)
"I got to concentrate and not listen." Tommy moaned, still struggling to fight it. "I got to hang on."
"Yeah..." Guitardo said, before turning and seeing Kimberly holding her Power Bow. "Huh?"
"Leave him alone!" Kimberly said.
"You interrupted my show." Guitardo accused, as Kimberly got ready to fight. "Take this!"
He then played his guitar.
"Not this time, Guitardo." Kimberly said, playing her bow like a harp. "I brought my own music."
Kimberly's music blocked Guitardo's and then hit him, causing him to drop his guitar as he fell down.
"Tommy, are you alright?" Kimberly asked, running to him.
"Yeah, I think." Tommy replied, as he picked up his Dragon Dagger.
"I figured it out." Kimberly said. "We've got to fight him with music."
"Yeah, I know." Tommy said. "Get me up from here?"
"Right." Kimberly said, before she helped him out of the hole.
They both then turned and saw that Guitardo had gotten back up on his feet.
"Seems like everyone's getting into the act but like I told you, I play solo!" he said.
He then charged in at them both, and then hit Tommy with one of his spikey hands, and then almost hit Kimberly as well, but she managed to move out of the way. Tommy then tried to kick Guitardo, but he blocked it with his hand, then he hit Tommy, and then he turned around and kicked Kimberly, but she blocked it with her Bow., She then spun around and tried to upper kick him, but missed as he ducked, before he hit her in the chest. Guitardo then grabbed Tommy by the arm and then hit him in the chest, knocking him towards Kimberly.
"Ah!" he moaned.
He rolled along the ground, as Kimberly crouched down near him.
"Time to rock and roll." Guitardo said, firing laser bursts out of his eyes, hitting both the Rangers.
"AH!" they moaned, falling down.
"I don't know if we can take much more of this!" Tommy moaned, as they got back up.
"Well, I guess now it's going to be a finale for two." Guitardo said, before laughing.
"Use the dagger with your Power Bow." Tommy said, looking at Kimberly and giving her the dagger. "It's our only chance."
"Right." Kimberly said, taking the dagger.
She then lined up the dagger in her Power Bow, and then pulled the string back.
"Hey, Guitardo, check out this tune." Tommy said.
Go, go, Power Rangers
Kimberly then fired the dagger out of her Power Bow, hitting Guitardo in the chest, which then destroyed him.
"Alright, you did it. Way to go, Kim." Tommy said, as they linked hands.
"Thanks, Tommy." Kimberly said, as they looked at Guitardo.
----Guitardo's destruction had caused the other Rangers to fall back to the ground in the park, first Billy and Jason, who rolled forward.
"Huh?" Billy asked, as they got back up to their knees.
Sophie then fell down and rolled forward.
"What happened?" she wondered, as she got back up to her knees.
Zack and Trini then fell down and rolled forward, then got up to their knees.
Kimberly's guitar then reappeared by their picnic, which Tommy saw, as he and Kimberly returned.
"Your guitar's back." he laughed, as he and Kimberly linked hands again. "All right."
"Tommy, I..." Kimberly said.
"We'd be history if it weren't for you." Tommy said, interrupting her. "You saved us, Kim. Thanks."
"Anytime." Kimberly said.
----In the palace, Lord Zedd hit the balcony with his hand, glowing red with anger as he did.
"No!" he shouted. "How could Guitardo lose? My plan was perfect!"
Squatt and Baboo had worried looks on their faces.
"That's what I thought." Baboo said, nervously.
"Maybe you should have..." Squatt said.
"Silence!" Lord Zedd shouted, interrupting him as he turned around. "Those Power Punks have crossed me for the last time. Next time, I want them crushed."
----A while later, the Rangers were at the Youth Center to finish their picnic, since it was raining now. (Sophie sat between Tommy and Trini)
"Wow, listen to it downpour out there." Kimberly said.
"I know, Kim." Sophie said. "Glad we got inside before it started."
"Yeah, same here, Soph." Zack said.
"You know what?" Kimberly asked. "I would rather have a picnic this way anyway."
"Yeah. Besides, we had a lot of other things to take care of." Billy said.
"I'll say." Tommy sighed. "That was a close call. I thought it was over."
"But it wasn't." Jason said. "We're all still here, thanks to you and Kim."
"Yeah, thanks, guys." Sophie said.
Bulk and Skull then came in, still wearing their costumes from earlier, and Bulk was having trouble getting his helmet off again, as they stopped by the teens.
"Guys, can you please help me with this?" Bulk asked, pointing to his helmet. "I'm getting claustrophobic."
"Please." Skull said, as the girls giggled.
"We'll agree to help you, only if you promise not to cry 'wolf' again." Trini said, giggling.
"Okay, sure." Bulk said, taking a hand behind his back and crossing the fingers on it.
"Yeah, promise." Skull said.
"Here, let me take a look at it." Billy said, getting up.
He then walked up to Bulk and then began to look at the helmet.
"Uh, I think we need to go counter-clockwise." he said.
"Counter-clockwise?" Bulk questioned, as Billy began to twist it to the left, while the others laughed.
"Come on." Billy said, as he and Bulk spun around, with Tommy ducking to avoid the tail on Bulk's costume.
After much struggling, Billy final got the helmet off, but then Bulk became dizzy and almost hit Billy with the tail on his costume, but missed as he ducked. Skull then caught him and waved his hand in front of his face.
Bulk then grabbed Skull's hand and pulled off his wig.
"Hey!" Skull said. "Hey, what'd you do that for?"
"That was for this pre-brained stupid idea." Bulk said, pointing at Skull.
Billy laughed before handing Bulk's helmet back.
"My idea?" Skull asked, as Bulk walked away.
"Yeah." Bulk said.
"What do you mean, my idea?" Skull asked, as he followed Bulk out. "When do I ever have an idea?"
Billy then sat down near the others.
"Those two really make life interesting." Zack said. "If they only knew who the Rangers really are."
"They wouldn't believe it." Tommy said, before he sighed. "I'm going to miss all this. It's going to be hard to say goodbye."
"You'll always be one of us, Tommy." Sophie said, taking his hand. "No matter what happens."
"Thanks, Soph." Tommy sighed, still upset.
"Zack and I wrote a song for you." Kimberly said, picking up her guitar. "Hope it cheers you up."
She then started playing.
"Down the road
We never know
What life may hold in store
Winds of change
Will rearrange
Our lives more than before"
Zack then got up and sat down beside her, before he joined in.
"But you'll never stand alone my friend
For memories never die
Within our hearts, they'll always live
And never say goodbye."
