Power Rangers Summer Bay Series Two

[Red Ranger 1]

EPISODE ELEVEN: “Love Sickness”

Michael came into the kitchen of his former home.Sally, Tiegan and Justine were seated at the table, having breakfast.“Hi, guys,”he greeted them,“What are you up to today?”

“Well I’ve got to go see Joey,”Tiegan replied,“We’re going to the pictures.”She hurried out.

Michael turned to Sally.“I suppose you’ve got a hot date too?”

“You suppose correct.”Sally finished her drink and followed Tiegan out.

Justine grinned at Michael.“Feeling left out?”

Michael glared at her.“You’re hardly in a position to talk.”

Rita Repulsa observed events through her peekascope.“So, poor Michael is feeling unloved, is he?Well, that won’t be a problem for long.”

Galdarr turned to her suspiciously.“Why?What are you doing?”

“I have a plan.A monster.Summon Finser.”

Nicola and Casey were walking down the street.“What are you doing later?”Nicola asked.

“I’m not really sure,”Casey replied,“I’m supposed to be meeting Aaron down the surf club.”

“Oh.”Nicola chuckled.“Things really serious between you two then?”

“Fairly serious,”Casey decided,“About as serious as it’s ever been.”

Lord Zedd walked into the throne room.“All right, Rita, this had better be good.”

Repulsa and Finser stepped aside to reveal a short, white-skinned feminine monster holding a heart-shaped wand.“May I present Love Heart?”Repulsa proclaimed.

Zedd nodded slowly.“Yes.Yes.Perfect.She can make the Rangers fall in love with the unlikeliest of people.They’ll be far too busy to even think about stopping us.”

Michael and Selina were at the kiosk at the surf club, gazing across at the table where Casey, Aaron and Justine were seated.“Wouldn’t you just love to be young and uncomplicated again?”Selina sighed.

“What do you mean ‘again’?”Michael asked with mock indignation.

Casey and Aaron came over.“What are you two conspiring about?”Casey asked.

Love Heart lurked unnoticed in the doorway.“A perfect arrangement,”she decided.

A beam from her wand surrounded the group by the kiosk.Instantly, Michael grabbed Casey and began kissing her passionately.Selina and Aaron likewise embraced.Justine watched on in mounting astonishment.

Joey and Tiegan were sitting on the sofa kissing.“Excuse me for a moment.”Tiegan headed towards the bathroom.

Chloe came downstairs.“You two look like you’re having fun.”

Love Heart materialised behind them and fired her wand before disappearing.Seconds later, Joey and Chloe were locked in a passionate clinch.Tiegan came back, saw them and ran out, disgusted.No-one saw her go.

Sally came into the bait shop and found Jesse behind the counter.“Hi,”she greeted him,“How are things?”

Jesse shrugged.“Better, since I made up with Michael and Selina.”

Sally came over to the counter and smiled.“All you need is love.”

Love Heart poked her head round the doorway.“And love is just what he’s going to get.”

As her beams encircled them, Sally and Jesse leaned forward and kissed.Love Heart vanished, just before Nicola entered and took in the scene with bemusement.

Alarms were sounded at the Command Centre.“Something’s wrong, Zordon!”Alpha cried.

“Indeed,”Zordon answered,“Zedd’s Love Heart monster has interfered with the Rangers’ minds.They are experiencing…love.”

“Ay ay ay ay ay!What can we do?”

“They must be brought here.Before their emotional imbalance gets out of control.”

Michael lay on the bed in his caravan, sharing a kiss with Casey.His communicator bleeped.He sighed.“I’m sorry.”

“Do you have to go?”Casey asked.

Michael mulled it over.“I’ll pop in, see what it’s about and if the world isn’t going to explode in the next thirty seconds I’ll be right back.”He got up.“Stay there.”

Selina’s embrace with Aaron, still at the surf club, was similarly interrupted.“What’s that?”Aaron asked at the noise.

Selina sighed.“Something I’d better sort out.See you soon.”

Joey, Michael, Sally, Chloe, Jesse and Selina materialised in the Command Centre.“Well, Zordon?”Joey demanded,“What’s the problem?”

“You are all under the influence of Zedd and Rita’s Love Heart monster,”Zordon replied,“It has made you fall in love.”

“But that’s ridiculous…”Sally looked at Jesse, who still had his arm round her.“You mean..?”

“Precisely.”

“Well if that’s all,”Chloe commented,“I don’t see how it’s doing much harm.”

“I’m with her,”Jesse asserted.They all turned away.

“Wait, Rangers!”cried Alpha,“You don’t realise how dangerous this is.”

“Save it,”Michael responded.They all teleported out.

Repulsa laughed as she turned away from her spectroscope.“Perfect!Those Rangers are so mych under Love Heart’s power they won’t even listen to old Zordon.”

“Indeed, my love,”Zedd echoed,“So perhaps we should spread the infection to the rest of Summer Bay.”

Sally and Jesse sat on the couch at Sally’s, kissing.“Do you think Zordon and Alpha were trying to tell us something important?”Sally asked.

“Nah,”Jesse replied,“What could be more important than this?”

Nicola and Justine went into the Diner and found Tiegan looking glum.“What’s up?”Nicola asked.

“I saw Joey kissing Chloe,”Tiegan replied,“I really thought he liked me.”

“Some people have no sense of fidelity,”Justine sighed,“I mean earlier today, Aaron and Casey were going on like normal when suddenly they started kissing with Michael and Selina.Or do I mean the other way round?”

“What?”Nicola muttered to herself,“And then there was Jesse and Sally.”

“I’ll shout you a shake.”Justine dragged Tiegan over to the counter-and straight into Love Heart’s beams. They grabbed two boys standing at the counter and began kissing them passionately.

Nicola looked on with mounting astonishment.

“We have a bigger problem, Alpha,”Zordon announced,“The problem is spreading.”

“Ay ay ay!”cried Alpha,“What can we do?”

“Nicola is still unaffected.She must be brought here immediately.”

Love Heart turned to face Nicola, wand raised…but she vanished in a flash of light.No-one else saw her go.

Nicola materialised in the Command Centre.“Zordon, what’s going on?”she asked,“What was that monster doing in the Diner?Why’s everyone behaving so strangely?”

“The monster you saw was Love Heart,”Zordon replied,“She has infected most of Summer Bay’s residents, including the Power Rangers, with a love sickness.”

Alpha brought up an image of a large, long-barrelled weapon.“This is the Power Cannon, the latest weapon in our arsenal.It was demonstrated to the Power Rangers a few days ago.With it we can defeat Love Heart.”

“Terrific!”Nicola cried,“So where do I come in?”

“The Power Rangers must be freed from Love Heart’s control,”Zordon announced,“To do this Love Heart’s wand must be destroyed.”

Nicola sighed.“Okay.I get the idea.Beam me down.”

Nicola materialised on the beach, facing Love Heart.“Ah, the Power Rangers’ little friend,”the monster sneered,“Are you feeling short of love?”

“I’m all for love,”Nicola replied,“But you’ve gone too far.”She kicked Love Heart away from her.

The monster got to her feet, wand raised, and Nicola brought a rock down on it, smashing it to pieces.

Michael stood by the door of his caravan, still kissing Casey.Suddenly he sprang back, seeing the look of shock on her face that matched his own.“What are we doing?What’s going on?Oh no.Zordon was trying to tell me something important.”

Joey and Chloe also broke off their kiss.“I don’t get it,”Chloe murmured,“Why did we think we were…in love?”

Joey spoke into his communicator.“Zordon, that monster you mentioned…”

“On the beach, Joey.”

Joey adjusted the frequency.“Everyone, get to the beach quickly!I think our help’s needed.”

Love Heart turned angrily to Nicola.“You may have broken my spell, but I can still destroy you.”

“Not while we’re here.”Joey, Michael, Sally, Chloe, Jesse and Selina materialised.“It’s morphin’ time! Tigerzord!”

“Mastodon!”cried Selina.

“Pterodactyl!”shouted Sally.

“Triceratops!”summoned Jesse.

“Sabre tooth tiger!”ordered Chloe.

“Tyrannosaur!”snapped Michael.

As the Rangers turned to face Love Heart, Joey gave the order.“Power Cannon!”

The Power Cannon appeared resting on the Rangers’ shoulders.Joey and Sally took the lead, gripping the handles either side of the barrel.“Phase one complete.”

Michael and Jesse took up their post in the middle.“Phase two!”

Chloe and Selina finished the ensemble at the rear.“Phase three!”

Love Heart stared down the barrel for several seconds before it blew her to pieces.

Zedd turned to Repulsa scornfully.“So much for your brilliant plan.”

“My plan?”Repulsa repeated,“That was your lousy plan!”

They stormed off, still bickering.

At the surf club, evertone was back with their proper partners.“I’m sorry I hurt you,”Joey apologised.

“Don’t worry about it,”Tiegan replied,“You were under Zedd’s spell-we all were.”She pecked him on the lips.

Michael and Sally took Nicola aside.“Thanks,”Sally told her,“You got us out of a tight spot.”

“No problem.”Nicola looked at Michael curiously.“So did you and Casey really..?”

Michael held up his hand.“I don’t even want to think about it.Love’s fine but when the town’s as lovesick as that, you know they’ve put something in the water.”

EPISODE TWELVE: “Deserting Black”

Selina was first to the door as the post came through the letterbox.She flicked through the letters and smiled as she saw the one she was looking for.She opened it quickly and scanned the contents.Seconds later, Chloe came down the stairs.“Hi.What’s that?”

“Nothing.”Selina pushed it into her pocket.She looked over the other letters.“Oh, look.There’s one for you.”

Casey wandered slowly down the path by the beach.Joey caught up with her.“Hey!You been hiding from me lately?”

“No, not really.”Casey sighed.“It’s just…things are a bit tricky.I got a letter from my dad.He wants me to join him in New York.”

“Oh.Are you going?”

“I don’t know.I mean, I miss my dad and everything, but then there’s you and Aaron and all my friends.I don’t know what to do.”

Lord Zedd stood on his balvony, scanning Earth.“Selina has a secret.How interesting.I wonder what it could be.”

Rita Repulsa pushed him aside angrily.“Never mind that, Zeddy.We need something that will help us destroy the Power Rangers.”She stared through her peekascope.“And I think I’ve found something.”

“What is it?”Sally asked as she and Nicola regarded the object in Michael’s hand.

“It’s a sort of mini laser beam,”Michael replied,“It’s quite harmless.”He pressed a button and a beam of red light shot out, illuminating a tiny part of the wall.“It’s used as a sort of indicator.”

Nicola nodded slowly.“So what have you bought one for?”

“Well, I’ve been thinking of turning some of my old photos into slides and giving a few talks at the school.If it comes off, this could be handy.”

Galdarr stared through the peekascope.“That little torch thing?What good is that?”

“It’s not just a torch,”Repulsa corrected,“It’s a laser.”

“Yes.”Zedd clenched his fist.“Imagine the damage it could do if it was so much larger.I will see to it. Galdarr, take an army of putties down there.”

Michael stared in astonishment as, with a brilliant flash, his laser pointer vanished.“What happened?” Nicola asked.

“Oh dear,”Michael replied,“I’ve got a very bad feeling about this.”

Zedd’s newly created monster-Infra-Red-appeared in the woods.He chuckled and raised his arm.A thin laser beam shot from it, blasting a tree out of existence.

Joey, Michael, Sally, Chloe, Jesse and Selina had been summoned to the Command Centre.“What’s going on, Zordon?”Joey asked.

“We have a problem,”Zordon replied,“Zedd’s latest monster, Infra-Red, is attacking Summer Bay.”

“My laser pointer?”Michael asked.

“Precisely.Furthermore, Galdarr and the putties are launching a second attack.”

“You must split your forces, Rangers!”Alpha cried.

Joey turned to the others.“Michael, Chloe-you’re with me.We’re going after Galdarr.Sally, you, Jesse and Selina take care of Infra-Red.It’s morphin’ time!Tigerzord!”

“Mastodon!”cried Selina.

“Pterodactyl!”shouted Sally.

“Triceratops!”summoned Jesse.

“Sabre tooth tiger!”ordered Chloe.

“Tyrannosaur!”snapped Michael.

Joey, Michael and Chloe arrived in a deserted street.Galdarr and the puties were lined up along the road. “Feeling lucky, Power Rangers?”Galdarr demanded.

“Very lucky,”Chloe replied,“We’ve only got you to deal with.”

Galdarr snarled.“Smart comment.Let’s back it up.”

Galdarr charged in, sword raised.Joey met him and the battle was joined.Michael and Chloe dived at the putties and began a series of high-powered kicks and punches.

Sally, Jesse and Selina landed in the woods, transported by the traditional columns of pink, blue and black light.Infra-Red approached them.“Greetings, Rangers.Is today a good day to die?”

“No,”Jesse replied,“Today’s a terrible day to die.So don’t count on us doing it.”

Infra-Red fired an energy charge from his arm.The Rangers dived aside and flew at him, raining down with their punches.Infra-Red found Selina in his line of fire.As he let off a charge, she moved and the blast hit her shoulder.She fell back, toppling over the edge of a ravine.

“Selina!”Sally shouted.She and Jesse ran to the edge.

Infra-Red fired another beam and a tree toppled over, hitting the two Rangers.Infra-Red lifted their semi-conscious bodies and vanished.

Joey was still battling Galdarr when his communicator went off.He leapt back, gaining a few seconds to answer it.“What is it, Zordon?”

“Calamity has struck the other Rangers,”Zordon replied,“Return to the Command Centre immediately.”

Joey called to Michael and Chloe.“Trouble!Let’s go.”

Galdarr struck with his sword-but Joey, like Michael and Chloe, teleported away.

Joey, Michael and Chloe appeared in the Command Centre.“What’s the story?”Joey asked.

“Selina was injured during the battle,”Zordon announced,“So far I have been unable to trace her.”

“What about Sally and Jesse?”Michael asked.

“I’m sorry,”Alpha mumbled,“But we’ve got even worse problems there.”

Zedd walked into the throne room.“Well, Rita, what is it?”

He broke off as Repulsa and Finser stepped aside to reveal Sally and Jesse, their helmets removed and their hands manacled behind their backs, with Infra-Red standing over them.

“A gift, Lord Zedd,”Infra-Red announced.

“Excellent,”Zedd proclaimed,“And the other Rangers?”

“Selina is injured, unable to trace,”Repulsa replied,“The other Rangers are in hiding but they’ll have to come out soon or Galdarr will trash the town.”

“Good.Infra-Red, join them.I’ll deal with these Rangers here.”

Selina recovered in a cave.Her helmet had been removed.“Where am I?”

An old man came up.“You’re in my home.My name is Herman.Herman Hibbertson.And you’re one of those Power Rangers, aren’t you?”

Selina paused for a moment then nodded.“Yes.I’m Selina Roberts.”

“Pleased to meet you.Well it’s not often a pretty girl drops in on Herman the Hermit.What happened to you?”

Selina dighed.“One of those monsters.Shot me in the shoulder.It’s still badly burnt from the feel of it.Two of the other Rangers were with me.I don’t know what happened to them.”

“Wait till you’re feeling stronger,”Herman advised,“then we’ll go and look for your friends.”

The alarm in the Command Centre went off again.“Infra-Red is back,”Zordon announced,“He is continuing to search the woods.”

“Zedd’s attacking us on several fronts,”Michael noted.

“And he’s got us outflanked,”Chloe added.

Joey turned to them.“Michael, I want you to go after Galdarr.Chloe, find Selina and stop Infra-Red.I’m going to try and rescue Sally and Jesse.”

Selina had deactivated her morpher, returning to her civillian appearance.She and Herman walked through the woods.“How long have you lived out here?”Selina asked.

Herman shrugged.“Going on for twenty years now.I go into town now and then, but otherwise…”

“What made you move?”

“I used to work in a shop.I’d been there for about fifteen years.I realised I was trapped.So I left.Went to commune with nature.”He stopped by a tree and touched its leaves.“Out here, I see more of the world.I get to understand things better.”He turmed to Selina and smiled.“Ignore me.Just the ramblings of an old man.”

“No,”Selina replied,“No, you’re talking a lot of sense.”

Michael materialised, facing Galdarr and the putties.“Good evening, gentlemen,”he greeted them,“Ready for round two?”

“Red Ranger,”Galdarr chuckled,“It’s been a long time since we crossed swords.”

Michael leapt up, kicking two putties in the chest in a star jump and disintegrating them.Then he landed and faced Galdarr.

Zedd turned away.“The Red Ranger may defeat Galdarr.”

“Not,”Repulsa replied,“if we make our Galdarr grow.”

They turned and fired a combined blast towards Earth.

Galdarr grew in height.Michael disintegrated the last putty with a punch then raised his hand.“Thunderzord power now!Tyrannosaur Red Dragon Thunderzord power!”

The Red Dragon Thunderzord converted to robot mode and turned to face Galdarr, preparing for battle.

Joey arrived on Zedd’s moonbase.Sally and Jesse saw him.“Joey!”they chorused,“What are you doing here?”

“Rescuing you-what do you think?”Joey drew his sword and shattered the locks on their manacles.

Jesse took his hand.“Thanks, mate.I owe you one.”

Sally glanced past them.“Joey, look out!”

Zedd had stepped into the room.“White Ranger.So.You have come for your friends.”

Joey sighed.“Oh well.Stay back, you two.”

Joey dived in, sword whirling.Zedd matched the blow with his staff and battle was joined.

Chloe had located her quarry.“INFRA-RED!”she shouted,“Where’s Selina?”

“I was hoping you could tell me.Never mind.I’ll have to deal with you instead.”

Infra-Red fired a blast at Chloe, who dived aside.She leapt two-footed at Infra-Red, hitting him squarely in the chest.Infra-Red staggered back.“Gotta go.”He vanished.

The Red Dragon Thunderzord staggered back as Galdarr bashed it on the head.At the controls, Michael came to a decision.“I call on Tor the Carrier Zord!”

Tor lumbered towards them, his back opening up to reveal the protective space for zords.The Thunderzord slotted into place.Taking control of the more powerful zord, Michael aimed the weaponary at Galdarr, who quickly realised he wouldn’t survive the blast.“I’ll be back,”he declared, before vanishing.

Zedd swung his staff round, catching Joey across the head.He staggered back and fell over.Zedd was about to deliver the final blow when Sally dived at him.She pushed him back and drew her gun.“You’re going to let us leave or your friends are going to need a new boss.”

Zedd stared at her, then nodded.“Very well.’Till we meet again.”

Joey got to his feet.“Thanks, Sal.I owe you one.”

“Oh please,”Zedd murmured, as they vanished.

Selina and Herman wandered through the woods.“I’ve always liked it here,”Selina noted.

“So have I,”Herman agreed,“It’s my home.”

Infra-Red appeared in front of them.“I have you, Black Ranger.”

“It’s morphin’ time!”Selina shouted,“Mastodon!”

As she approached Infra-Red, he fired a blast at her.Selina’s morpher was hit and de-energised as she fell back.

Herman stepped forward.“Leave her alone!”

Infra-Red opened fire, blasting Herman.But it was the last shot he fired.Arriving on the scene, Chloe drew her gun and shot him in the back.

Selina rushed to Herman’s side as Chloe de-energised and rushed over.“He’s dead,”Selina said simply. She got up and walked away.

A few hours later, Selina was sitting by a tree, idly fingering a letter.Nicola came up and sat by her.“Chloe told me about Herman the Hermit.Did you know him well?”

“No.Hardly any time.But he opened my mind to things I’d never considered.Maybe I’m trapped as well.” She held up the letter.“I got this this morning.It’s from Shannon.She asked me to join her.I wasn’t sure.But now I am.”

“You’re going?”The words stuck in Nicola’s throat.

“Yes.But there’s something I have to do first.”

Once again, Michael, Sally, Chloe and Jesse watched as Selina stood in front of Joey.But this time, Nicola stood beside her.Joey raised the Sword of Power.

“I call on the power of good to transfer the power of black from one worthy candidate to another worthy candidate.Arise, Nicola Bland, Black Ranger.”

Selina took her communicator and newly-repaired morpher and handed them to Nicola.“It’s all yours.”She stepped back.“Goodbye, everyone.Put me down Zordon.”

They all watched as the black column surrounded her one last time and she disappeared.

An old enemy!

One last departure!

And yes, I am taking liberties with certain characters' storylines...

[Red Ranger 1]

Yay, my first feedback in six episodes!This is the last in the series, third series will be along in good time but I'm going on holiday on Monday so it might have to wait until after I get back.

EPISODE THIRTEEN: “Reunion”

Casey waited for a moment before knocking on the door.Aaron answered it.“Hi, Case, what’s up?”

“I’ve made a decision.I’m going to New York to be with Dad.”

Aaron nodded slowly and hung his head.“When are you going?”

“Tomorrow,”Casey said simply,“Tomorrow afternoon.”

Aaron grinned.“Doesn’t give us long to plan the farewell party.”

Lord Zedd turned away from scanning Earth.“A party,”he murmured,“Casey is a friend of the Power Rangers.They’re bound to all be there.”

“Do you remember the last time the Rangers threw a farewell party?”Rita Repulsa asked,“We sent Trash Collector along to break it up.”

Zedd nodded eagerly.“Yes.It’s time for the rematch.Summon Trash Collector.”

Joey, Nicola and Tiegan were helping Aaron get the party ready.“I dunno,”Tiegan sighed,“It’s gonna be kinda strange not having Casey around.”

Nicola smiled.“It’ll certainly be quiet.”

Joey looked at Aaron.“I’ve known Casey a long time and I know I’m gonna miss her.Must be even worse for you.”

Aaron sighed.“Yeah.I love her.I’ll miss her heaps.”

Casey was about to leave for the party but as she opened the door she found Michael standing there.“Oh, hi!”she exclaimed.

“Sorry.I just wanted to say goodbye to you on my own.I probably won’t have a chance tomorrow.”

“No.You probably won’t.”Casey looked him in the eyes.“You’ve been a good friend.”

“Do you remember when Love Heart affected our minds and made us all fall in love?”

Casey grimaced.“How could I forget?”

“You and I shared something special then-whether we meant to or not.I’ll never forget you.”He kissed her on the cheek then offered her his arm.“To the party, Miss Mitchell?”

Casey smiled and took the arm.“With pleasure, Mr.Billinghurst.”

Sally hurried downstairs and found Chloe waiting for her.“Well?Are we going or what?”

Chloe sighed.“Sally, I want to tell you something.I’ve already told Michael and Nicola.I’m pregnant.”

Sally gaped at her.“You’re what?”She thought for a moment.“Michael?”

“Yeah.Looks like I’ll have to take a back seat with the Power Ranger business for a while.”

Sally grinned.“Well, we’ll have to talk to Joey and Zordon, but I think it’ll be okay.And you’ll both be great parents.”

Zedd and Repulsa waited as Trash Collector entered the throne room.“You called, master?”

“Yes, Trash Collector,”Zedd replied,“The Rangers are throwing a party for one of their friends.You will attack it-and this time, take them all in one foul swoop.”

Trash Collector saluted.“At your command, master.”

At Aaron’s place, the party was in full swing.Casey was dancing with Aaron, while Jesse chatted to Nicola. “You know, I’ve always admired Casey.She’s been a bit of a pain but…”

“Yeah, okay.”Nicola grinned.“I know.”

Zordon surveyed the instruments in the Command Centre.“I sense Trash Collector is on the prowl.”

“Ay ay ay ay!”cried Alpha,“We’d better alert the Power Rangers.”

Joey’s communicator bleeped as he danced with Tiegan.He nodded anxiously to Michael who came over. “Say, Tiegan.Have you ever seen a shooting star on a clear night?”

He’d said the first thing that came in to his head but had at least succeeded in getting Tiegan’s attention. She stared at him.“Yeah.Sure I have,”she remarked sarcastically.

Joey slipped away and spoke into his communicator.“Joey here.What’s the trouble?”

“Trash Collector has returned,”Zordon replied,“He may be heading for the party.”

Joey grabbed Casey’s arm and whispered to her.“Trash Collector’s coming.Get everyone outside.”

Casey coughed.“Er, guys.Can you come outside for a minute?There’s something I want to show you.”

As everyone else left, mystified, Joey turned to the other Rangers.“It’s morphin’ time!Tigerzord!”

“Mastodon!”cried Nicola.

“Pterodactyl!”shouted Sally.

“Triceratops!”summoned Jesse.

“Sabre tooth tiger!”ordered Chloe.

“Tyrannosaur!”snapped Michael.

Seconds later, Trash Collector burst through the back door.“Time to die, Rangers,”he snarled.He lowered his head and sucked them inside him.

“Well this is a pretty pickle,”sighed Sally.

“How do we get out?”Jesse asked,“He’ll go after Aaron and the others.”

“Our power crystals!”Nicola realised,“We’ll create an energy surge.”

“Good idea,”Joey decided,“Power up your crystals!”

The Rangers all produced the crystals normally used to control their zords and triggered the release of energy.Trash Collector screamed in pain.He ejected the Power Rangers, who lined up in front of him.“I call on the Power Cannon!”Joey announced.

“Phase one!”snapped Joey and Sally as the Power Cannon materialised on their shoulders.

Michael and Jesse took their posts.“Phase two!”

Chloe and Nicola completed the ensemble.“Phase three!”

They trained the Power Cannon on Trash Collector and fired, blowing him to pieces.

Zedd turned to Repulsa angrily.“Trash Collector was really useful then!”

“Well don’t blame me,”Repulsa snarled back,“He was your creation!”

Aaron hugged Casey as she prepared to leave.“See you.I’ll miss you.”

Casey nodded tearfully.“I’ll miss you more.”

Joey, Tiegan and Justine came up.“’Bye, Casey!”Tiegan waved.

“Yeah, good luck,”added Justine.

Casey took Joey aside.“Do they know..?”

“No.Maybe one day.”

“Well, good luck to you and the other Rangers.It’ll feel strange without you around to protect me.”

Joey hugged her.“We’ll always protect you.”

Casey gave one final wave before getting into a taxi as it drove away.

Next series:

Rito Revolto!The Ninja Rangers!The Tengos!The Shogunzords!

No main character departures...but an alternate Ranger line-up!

And yes, that is Olivia on the way.
