**Into Space** is the opening two-part episode of *Power Rangers Cosmic Squadron.*

## Plot

### Part 1

Left on Earth, the rangers are protected by the Destiny Crystal, which prevents the rangers and everything around to be frozen. The rangers look for a way to get to space and come across an underground basement. They go in. Hiding behind a rock, the governor’s daughter, Aubrey, sneaks into the basement. Don flips a switch and cuts all the power on. They find a computer and cuts it on. A video of Liz and Langston shows saying that if someone is watching this video, the world is in major trouble. They reveal that they have created morphers in case of an emergency. They tell the rangers to press the button in front of the computer, which reveals the Cosmic Morphers. Liz says that the morphers were created using the Destiny Crystal. Langston then says that the morpher will merge with the rangers’ DNA. Each ranger takes a morpher, but there is one lone morpher left for Jane. They then wonder how they can fight without a full team. Ray then finds the cosmic zords for the them to use to go into space. The rangers grab their morphers and fly into space. Dagger then comes in the basement looking for the rangers and is confronted by Aubrey who tells him to help her fly the zord that was leftover. She then grabs the morpher left over and gets into the zord with Dagger. Wendy then realizes that they forgot the other morpher and Dagger on Earth, and Don says that Dagger knows how to take care of the situation. Arriving on the planet that holds the Omega 7 living station, the rangers. Wendy gets a call from her morpher from Dagger and he tells her that he is on his way to Omega 7 with the zord and morpher. Wendy gets excited and quickly hangs up before Dagger can say that Aubrey is with him. Then Dagger and Aubrey get ambushed by the pirate ship that attack Earth and kidnap them and the zord. The rangers search for Natalie so she can be the one to use her sister’s morpher. The governor comes to the rangers and tells them that his daughter is missing. While captive, Aubrey has the morpher hidden in pocket and is able to reach it and send a distress signal from the morpher. The rangers are alerted by the signal and are thinking that Dagger was the one who sent the signal. The rangers arrive on Planet Argon, which is now enslaved. The rangers sneak into the pirate ship and search for Dagger. Aubrey is able to escape and tries to free Dagger but hears a noise and retreats. The rangers come in and free Dagger. Dagger tries to explain the situation, but minions of the mysterious figure come in and blasts at the rangers. The rangers escape and morph into the Cosmic Squadron Rangers. They are able to fight the minions off but are caught off guard by an alien assassin named Forge. The rangers aren’t prepared for someone like him and are getting beat up. Aubrey then jumps in front of the rangers, but none of the rangers see her face, and she morphs into the pink cosmic ranger. Wendy thinks that its Jane since the hair is similar.

### Part 2

Aubrey is able to hold her own, and help the rangers weaken Forge, and the rangers retreat. When getting to a cave, the rangers dimorph, and ask the pink ranger if she is really Jane. The ranger dimorphs, and Dagger introduces Aubrey as the pink ranger. To the disappointment and disgust of the rangers. The rangers ridiculed her for using the morpher. Aubrey says that the team needs her, and now they have no choice but to let her join the rangers. She then says that they had a spot open anyway. Wendy then slaps her and leaves to another part of the cave in a fit of anger. The rangers then try to weigh the options of actually allowing her on the team, everyone but Ray saying no. Ray makes the argument that they have no idea how to remove the morpher from Aubrey and extract her DNA from it. On the other side of the cave, Dagger finds Wendy and talks to her about the situation. She apologizes for getting so upset and explains that she still hasn’t gotten over Jane’s passing. Dagger explains to her that even though Aubrey isn’t the best choice right now, she is their only choice right now. Wendy says that she’ll play nice for now, but as soon as she finds a way to take the morpher away from Aubrey, Natalie will take Jane’s spot. Dagger then leaves, and then Forge appears and kidnaps Wendy. Then he transports out of the cave. Dagger goes to talk to Aubrey and tells her that she shouldn’t have said what she said. Aubrey says that Wendy should just deal with her being on the team and should quit acting so childish. Then Aubrey asks Dagger where Wendy is, and Dagger tells her. When they go back to where Wendy was, they find that she isn’t there. They then find a blaster that Forge dropped, and Dagger tries to tell the other rangers, but Aubrey stops him, and suggests that they should go on their own. Dagger disagrees, but Aubrey is able to convince him to come along. Wendy is taken into a lair and is introduced to the leader of Forge and the Waggers. The leader turns out to be Captain Zorg, who was thought to be dead after his battle with Jane.
