## Story

In a stormy city, a confused Ryu walks down an alleyway as he narrates his situation, trapped in a different dimension and being hunted by Power Rangers. He's confronted by a corrupted Tommy Oliver clone in his Black Dino Thunder Ranger form, who seeks to kill him. The two fight and seem evenly matched until Ryu gets some distance and strikes him down with a Hadouken. He's struck from behind by a Jen Scotts clone, only to be saved by Chun-Li, who pushes the pink ranger back with her Lightning Kick. As the two World Warriors regroup, the clone Rangers are joined by clones of Jason Lee Scott and the Phantom Ranger. However, before they were forced to fight the four rangers, Ryu and Chun-Li are suddenly teleported away to a mysterious temple. Confused by their surroundings, Ryu suddenly attacks the real Tommy as he startles them, but recovers when Tommy mentions the name "M. Bison". Joined by Gia Moran, the Rangers explain that Rita Repulsa and Bison have joined forces and captured Ninjor, using him to create evil Rangers. To aid in defeating the duo and saving Ninjor, Tommy gives Ryu the Hawk Power Coin, the only new Power Coin Ninjor could make before his kidnapping. Realizing the situation, Ryu accepts the power.

In a rundown factory, M. Bison spots the Rangers and World Warriors, commending their foolish bravery before departing. The four find Ninjor on the ground, weak. He warns them too late of M. Bison, who grabs Ryu and tosses him aside before beckoning the others to fight. In quick succession, he easily defeats the four, even teleporting away from Chun-Li and Ryu's Kikoken and Hadouken and striking them from behind. Bison taunts Ryu, asking him how he will beat him now that he has more power. Tommy responds that they also have more power as he, Ryu and Gia morph into the Green Ranger, Ryu Ranger and the Megaforce Yellow Ranger, the sheer power blowing Bison through a wall. The dazed dictator looks up at the transformed warriors but quickly recovers as the four attack. At first, it seems that Bison is still stronger, but the tables turn when Ryu delivers a Shoryuken and Chun-Li hits him with a Lightning Kick. Realizing this was the time, Tommy has the Rangers prepare for the final blow, Gia turning into Super Megaforce Yellow to join Ryu and Tommy in delivering energy blasts, seemingly defeating Bison. Gia compliments Tommy's new look before Tommy thanks Ryu for his help. Ryu agrees and mentions that he's happy to have Rangers as allies than adversaries.

However, Bison isn't finished, roaring out that Rita has given him an army at his disposal. He suddenly summons various Ranger clones by his side, all of them ready to fight. Tommy asks if Ryu's ready for Round Two, which he declares he always is. As the Rangers put on their helmets, the four warriors charge to fight their evil counterparts...
