She told the people of Angle Grove that they had until tommorow morning to bring the rangers to her on site

Elgar then responds by saying "Yeah, what she said"

Ashley is standing near their

Bulk and Skull without the Professor are with other people thinking that the Rangers left them until Bulk and Skull convinced that they haven't left before and they wouldn't leave now

The rangers without Zhane are in an area away from most people and then Zhane comes in limping

Zhane then says he survied but the Mega Winger didn't (Zhane later said the Winger was in the shop) and answered TJ's question that the Rebels surrendered

Cassie then tells that the Rangers are on their own

Then, Carlos comes up with a crazy idea about using ordainary people to fight back but TJ rejects that its too dangerous

Andros then replies that if he convinces his sister by getting in the Dark Fortress, Karone would stop

Then, TJ rudely replies that he's not his sister anymore and then Zhane puts a shoulder on Andros and says it again

Andros then becomes upset and says he'll never accept it

Ashley then says there's still time left and the rangers agree and make a plan, talking about Velocifighters while Andros sneaks away while Ashley is watching

As Andros is about to push 03 on his Battlizer, Ashley comes and says "Going Somewhere?"

Andros says that he was just and didn't finish when Ashley said that he can't go and then Andros replies if he's not back and then Ashley says that he will be

Then, Andros finally does and is back up

Then, Andros does get to go up (they used the same morphing sequencce from "Mission to Secret City"

Meanwhile, in the morning, Astronema comes back and finds that the people of Earth are hiding the rangers (they don't know them, at least most of them)

Astronema then gives one last chance

Then, Bulk says he's the blue ranger and then Skull (black), Professor Phenomonus (red), Adelle (pink), the lady from the other night (yellow), and the man (silver)

Then other people follow

Then, Astronema orders to attack everyone while the 5 rangers are amazed

Quantrons and Astronema's blasts from her staff are being shot at the Earthlings until Carlos announces that they are the Power Rangers

The Rangers morph with explosions and the people cheer and Bulk and Skull are shocked that they were the Rangers

Astronema has a worried face

The rangers go into battle and then Bulk and Skull decide to follow as well with other people

Meanwhile, on the Dark Fortress, Andros creates a divresion with his Astro Blaster

Ecliptor and some Quantrons go investagate it while Andros jumps into Astronema's room

Ecliptor is then shocked and finds out its the Red Ranger

While Andros is snooping around for Karone, he bumps into Zordon

Zordon than tells that the forces of evil has captured most of the universe and Andros has to destroy his energy tube to release the good energy in him to destroy all evil

Andros then is about too until he is stopped by his consious

Andros says he won't do it and there has to be another way

Then, Astronema pops in and says she'll destroy the Red Ranger

Andros and Astronema then have a battle and Andros is just sitting their getting whacked right in front of Zordon

Then, right before Astronema shoves her staff at Andros, he reaches for his Spiral Sabre and deflects it back at Astronema, causing her to fall forward, dead

Andros is mad at himself, speaking in his head why he killed Karone

Then, Ecliptor finally gets in and sees Astronema lying their and Ecliptor gets upset at the red ranger

He then goes over to Astronema and says that she was like a daughter to him and then would get the Red Ranger back if it was the last thing he did

Appearntly, Andros was ready and was beating Ecliptor until he pinned Andros on a wall until Zordon told Andros he had to break his tube now

Andros had more confidence this time and whacked Eclitpor's arm, causing him to drop his sword and then uses 03 in Megarangers (A special attack called Sabre Slash) to break open the tube

A wave of music never heard on Power Rangers sweeps thru while the wave of gold energy goes thru and wipes out all evil

Rita is scared while Lord Zedd says nothing, Divatox is running, and the Machine Empire didn't even know it was coming

After the gold wave, Rita and Zedd are transformed into humans, Divatox turns into a lookalike Dimitria, and the Machine Empire was dust, as well as Ecliptor, and Elgar whose last words were he was laughing

The Quantrons and Piranhatrons turn into sand as well

The Blue Senturion and Phantom Rangers are sitting there, shocked, the Gold Ranger is staring at Rita and Zedd in human forms, dancing, and the Alien Rangers weren't shown

The Earthlings and the Rangers are celebrating as the citizens of the Angel Grove are high-fiving the rangers

Then, Ashley, Cassie, and Carlos huddle behind a piece of concrete, talking about where's Andros while TJ and Zhane are still slapping hands with the citizens

Ashley is worried, but even more when the Dark Fortress comes over the city

Ashley thinks Astronema has won until Andros comes out with Astronema in her hands

She appearently didn't see Astronema in his hands as she was happy

Then, there all in silence as Andros puts Astronema down

Andros is crying over Astronema until one tear drops on her that changes her into Karone

When Karone wakes up, she is shocked and asks where she is and Andros tells her its a long story

Everyone is happy including Proffesor Phenomonus

Meanwhile, the Rangers go back to KO-35

Commander Kinwon and Tyqua invited them to vacation on KO-35 but Carlos said he's a little homesick and it was a feeling they knew too well

The people of KO-35 are putting supplies into the Astro Megaship while Andros and Ashley are having there "last" conservation

Ashley is making sure that Andros does wants to stay on Earth with her but Andros is saying KO-35 is his home

Later, the Earth Rangers are enterting the Astro Megaship as Karone, Andros, and Zhane are waving goodbye to them

Then, Ashley is mysteriously looking at Andros

In the bridge, Ashley is deeply missing Andros when Andros calls D.E.C.A. to set a course to Earth

Then, Ashley jumps up and hugs Andros as the other rangers are smiling at them

Then, Zhane comes in saying his megazord's in the shop

Behind him is Karone

While the rangers are talking, Zhane takes TJ's spot on the bridge and puts his feet on the controls

TJ then tells Alpha to go home and Alpha responds by setting the controls and we see 3 different views of the Astro Megaship heading for Earth

Notes:

The Mega Winger may still be functionable

The identities of the rangers are finally revealed, the 10th generation (including the Alien Rangers)

TJ and Zhane like attention

When Zordon was in CtD Part 1, the lava was halfway while this epsiode it was all the way down

Andros appearently gave the Astro Megaship to the Earth rangers

The rangers' powers are still functionable

Next Time, Quasar Quest Part 1
