Astronema then calls forth the Mantis to destroy the Silver Ranger

While on the megaship, Alpha runs tests on Zhane

Alpha then says Zhane doesn't have much time while Andros and Cassie are standing near the room and thinking he doesn't have much time to live

Shocked, Andros and Cassie are about to tell the others until Zhane steps in

Zhane, holding a clipboard, has it taken away by Andros and telling him to rest

Zhane wonders about why he is reciving royal treatment

Then, DECA informs of a monster on Earth and the rangers go without Zhane as Andros and Cassie want him to stay and rest

When the rangers reach the Earth. the Mantis is shocked as there's only five rangers and Carlos says "Five is more than enough"

Carlos is wrong as there getting whipped

On the megaship, Zhane calls up the battle and sees that the rangers are being crushed and decides to go, being silent as Alpha wanted him to stay

Zhane arrives on his Galaxy Cycle as he hits the Mantis

Andros is shocked as Zhane is here, and Zhane says he all right

Zhane then battles the Mantis and then is knocked to where the rangers are standing

Andros and the other rangers come to his aid and Andros says they'll handle it until Zhane gets up and uses his Super Silverizer and blasts the Mantis as his timer goes down

Andros appearntly knew he had two minutes and thirty seconds because he yelled "no" at 0:07

Zhane is then hit and is starting to demorph so he has to run for cover

The other rangers then attack the mantis and the mantis retreats

Astronema is then shocked when the Mantis returned and the Silver Ranger still alive so she gives the Mantis a timer that when the 2:30 is up, it will destroy him

Meanwhile, Zhane is with Alpha and Alpha tells him that Zhane's powers slowly drained while he was in hypersleep

To make it easier, Zhane thinks its like a car parked too long

Meanwhile, the rangers are appearently eating lunch or dinner and Andros and Cassie tell the other rangers that Zhane doesn't have too long to live

The other rangers are shocked

Meanwhile, Zhane is about to go in the room until he hears about the situation and then thinks he can fool the rangers

Zhane then goes in when Carlos says something abotu Zhane and then all the rangers get up and TJ offers his seat (he could've just sat on the end)

Carlos offers his spinach, but Zhane doesn't like it so he asks for pie

Ashley is the first to respond but Cassie tells her its not healthy but Ashley says he wants it and then Zhane has a faint smile

Then, the rangers without Zhane head for the bridge as Zhane had a talk with Alpha noted a few lines above this and are notified the Mantis is back

Alpha told Zhane that he had to tell the others about the condition

Zhane tries as the rangers pass to the jump tubes and Zhane is about to tell them until Andros steps down and tells him not to go

The rangers finally get down and then get kicked around again whil Zhane is trying to find an energy source and does

Zhane sees a lightning storm on Earth in Califronia and goes out, even though Alpha tried to stop him

While Zhane is out on the mountain, the rangers are getting beaten

Meanwhile, Zhane is climbing to the top of the mountain and almost fell off and was hanging on by a hand but managed to stay up

After that, Zhane used his digimorpher and held it up so it could be struck by lightning

When that was done, Zhane comes in to battle with the Galaxy Cycle

The other rangers are worried but Zhane goes in and fights the Mantis

Eventually, the Mantis captured Zhane and tied him up with a claw looking thing and used telekenisis to move him up to the tree

The rangers are about to help until they are held back by Quantrons

The rangers are trying to escape but are being held back

Meanwhile, Zhane is trying to get free

2:30 was going down fast as the rangers finally got free of the quantrons and started running towards Zhane but the timer exploded and Andros is sobbing

The rangers, stunned, Andros swore (not really) that he'd get the Mantis back if it was the last thing he would do but then was answered with an explosion

Then, the Mantis is in the air, about to crush the rangers but fortunetly Zhane comes with his Galaxy Glider and hits the mantis

The Mantis and Astronema are shocked as the Silver Ranger is about to crush the Mantis with Andros and Cassie

After the Mantis is blown up, Astronema orders for the fire of the Satilasers but Elgar seemed upset to do it

Anyway, after the Mega Voyager is hit with the boomerang a few times, Andros manages to catch it and throw it back at the Mantis and then finishes with the Mega V3 missle mode

The Mantis is gone and Astronema isn't too happy

On the Megaship, Zhane comes into the room with the jump tubes and is greeted by the rangers but not before hearing that it was all a trick

The Rangers anyway give Zhane royal treatment as Cassie gives him what she calls "juice" as Zhane spits the juice out as he learns its spinach juice and Cassie says it healthy for him

Then, Zhane knows they know and gets up and then is greeted by Andros

Andros asks if he is ok and Zhane says hes never felt better

Then, Andros gives him a broom and a mop to clean the whole megaship

Notes

The Rangers should have used the Quadroblaster and the Spiral Sabre Booster Mode to take care of the mantis

Zhane appearently didn't have to clean the megaship for a while due to him leaving

Humans in the universe appearently use thermoses

Carlos likes spinach
