And you're online.

Now you need to type in
the internet address.

Mm-hmm.

You got it.

This is called a web site.
Check this out.

There's thousands of sites

on the internet where you can

get information on
all kinds of things

and discuss movies to politics.

All you got to do is
double click the mouse...

ADAM: Okay.

Oh, wow.

There you go.

- Easy, huh?
- I'm so glad

we joined a computer club.

Thanks for showing us
all this, Raymond.

No problem.

I've been into computers
ever since

I was a kid.

Hey, what's this little icon?

[ laughing ]

Ooh! Be careful, Tanya.

You never know with thesre things.

An icon like that can indicate a ...

TANYA:
It's so cute.

Computer virus.

TANYA:
Oh, no! What did I do?

Unless we stop it in
less than seconds

the whole computer lab
is going to crash.

It's not responding to anything.

How do we stop it?

I'll see what I can do.

Only more seconds.

Man, hold on.

[ evil laughter ]

Let's try this.

Yes!

Let's hope this works.

Okay, guys.

Cross your fingers.

Whew!

That was close.

I'll say.

I'm so sorry.

That was one mean virus.

Yeah, it sure was.

So, a little virus
shakes them up, does it?

That could be very useful.

Did you see those
pathetic humans

scramble over that machine?

We're so superior.

Your Majesty, I just
has a splendid idea.

I know. Why don't we send
down our own computer virus?

Since everything in Angel Grove
seems to be run by computers

it will totally mess everything up.

That was my idea.

That was a wonderful idea.

I have the perfect candidate--

Mean Screen.

Let's see what the
Power Rangers do

when everything comes
to a screeching halt.

Hey, cool.

A Martial Arts chat room.

So, Tanya, ready to
talk to the world?

I'd really like to stay,
but I have to go meet Tommy.

He's teaching me
a new kata today.

Okay. See you later.

I'll see you.

Bye-bye.

Hey, how's cyberspace?

Hey, guys.

So far, so good.

Rocky, check this out.

What you got?

A Martial Arts chat room.

ROCKY: Oh, wow.

King Mondo wants you

to wreak havoc on Angel Grove

by tapping into the
Rangers' computer system

and shutting down their weapons.

KLANK: Well, that wasn't
nearly as difficult

as I thought it would be.

[ gasps ]

Would you look at that?

The Zeo Zords' blueprints.

They're making this quite
easy for us, aren't they?

Just inject the virus
into their computer.

Do it.

Then it's good-bye to Angel Grove
and the Power Rangers.

[ evil laughter ]

GIRL:
What's going on?

GIRL :
Are you all right?

[ horns honking ]

Looking good.

STONE:
Bulkmeier, Skullovitch.

This is Lieutenant Stone.

Do you read me? Over.

I'll get that.

You always get it.

I want to get it.

Bulkmeier here. We read you
loud and clear, sir.

I need the two of you
to proceed immediately

to the intersection
of Third and Elm.

We have a code blue traffic
situation in progress.

That's a big - , good buddy.

We copy.

We're putting
the pedal to the metal

and roger,
wilco and over and out.

Whatever.
Just get over there.

Yes, sir.

Right away, sir.

I can't believe it.

They're finally going to
give us some real power.

Yes.

It is time to bring out

the most powerful tools
of law enforcement

at our disposal.

You mean...?

Yes.

Ahh!

Now, where did he say to go?

I think it was

the intersection of
Fourth and Maple.

All right!

Let's roll!

I'm revved up!

[ tires squealing ]

KAT: You're really
getting the hang of this.

We'll have to tell Billy he has

a new rival.

Whoa!

KAT:
What's that, Adam?

Another virus?

Quick! Pull the plugs.

Maybe we can stop this thing

before it shorts

All the computers.

I've never seen anything like this.

[ communicator beeps ]

Raymond,
We'll catch you later.

We'll go check and see
if there's a power outage.

I'll get started on the
anti-virus right away.

Good luck.

Bye-bye.

Come in, Zordon.
We read you.

King Mondo has sent his monster

Mean Screen to unleash

a highly contagious virus into
Angel Grove's central computer.

Computer systems

have been crashing
all over the city.

You must stop him immediately.

All right.
We're on our way.

[ ground rumbling ]

It looks like a slight delay
in departure.

It's Morphin Time!

Zeo Ranger One-- Pink!

Zeo Ranger Three-- Blue!

Zeo Ranger Four-- Green!

ALL:
Power Rangers Zeo!

We've got to get to
the Computer Center.

These are the coordinates
Alpha gave us.

Mean Screen's got to
be here somewhere.

Some Power Rangers
for you to play with.

Now you gets to have
some real interactive fun.

Go get them.

Man, he could've
introduced that virus

into any of these computers.

I don't even know where to look.

Start at the source,
but be careful of power surges.

Power up!

You guys are pathetic.

I could take you with
one hand behind my back.

But, no sense in
wasting a good hand.

Now, get out of here.

We have a virus to catch.

Better luck catching it than us.

We are out of here.

They're gone for now.

Let's hurry to the
Computer Center.

All right. Let's go.

Time to terminate
your connection.

ADAM: Hey, Mean Screen,
if anything's going

to get terminated,
it's going to be you.

Oh, I think you forgot
about my screen savers.

I don't believe it.

Having trouble with your weapons?

The virus has spread
to the lasers.

Time to be deleted.

[ evil laughter ]

You guys okay?

Laser Pistols one more time.

You guys don't quit.

I told you your weapons
are useless.

What do we do now?

ALPHA:
Ay yi yi, Zordon!

I've never seen a
computer virus quite like this.

It has somehow managed

to infiltrate the Power
Chamber's computer network

and is spreading so quickly

I can't isolate it long
enough to destroy it.

As soon as I get rid of it
in one area

it branches off into another system.

I don't know what to do.

Oh, no, the virus
the Zeo Zord's computer.

It's working its way through
the protective software

and into the main
operating system.

ZORDON:
Without the computer system

the Zords will be unable
to come together

and form the Zeo Megazord

leaving the Power Rangers
defensless.

We have to eradicate
that virus.

It's all over.

Not even your Zords
can help you now.

All because of a
little computer glitch.

[ laughing ]

I hate to delete
and run, but...

Split up, guys.

Right.

Wait.
I wasn't done deleting.

Hey, come back here.

You can't run from me.

This way.

You will never escape.

Hey, guys.

Tanya, get behind me.

You guys all right?

What are you waiting for?

Tommy.

Let's get out of here.

Usually computers don't like
bombs, but in this case...

[ yelling ]

It's time for the Zeo Blaster.

- Right.
- Do it.

I hope this works.

Oh, man.
It didn't even seem to faze him.

Now it's my turn.

[ groaning ]

[ laughing ]

Zordon,
our weapons aren't working.

Mean Screen has infected
your computer-based weapons.

Alpha has been working

to reconfigure
the Defender Wheel

making it immune to the virus.

He is teleporting it to you now.

At least we know this should work.

Defender Wheel, power up.

Wish me luck, guys.

- You can do it.
- Go get him.

All right
Defender Wheel, engage.

On my mark.

Release.

Now!

That contraption is
easily taken care of.

I'll just introduce it
to my little virus.

Think again, Mean Screen.

You're crashing this time.

Wait a minute.

Good thing I made a
backup copy of myself.

Good show.

This Mean Screen is possibly

the smartest machine we've had.

He can still use a little help, Klank.

Help him finish off those Rangers.

Yes. I'm on my way, sire.

Hey, wait for me.

Unless my eyes are deceiving me

it looks like he's actually winning.

Let's give him a little boost.

A slight increase in
Mean Screen's dimensions

should do the trick.

Are you ready?

As I'll ever be.

Around and around and away we go!

Ready for an upgrade?

Oh, no. Look.

[ laughing ]

Talk about an upgrade.

So, who's going to stop me now?

TOMMY:
Zordon, we have a problem.

Mean Screen just gained
a serious height advantage.

The Zeo Megazord has
been rendered inoperable

because of the virus.

Hey, I've got an idea.

It's a long shot,
but it just might work.

You guys just hang tight.

I'll be right back.

This isn't over yet.

I almost have it.

Excuse me.

Whoa. Dude.

You're aware of the
computer crisis in the city.

You might be able to help.

Me? How can I help?

I understand you're somewhat
of an expert on computers.

I guess so.

I've reversed-engineered
the virus

and created an anti-virus,
but I haven't tested it yet.

We don't have time to wait.

Can I get it from you now?

Sure.

I hope it works.

So do I.

Thanks.

They're never going to
believe this on the internet.

We can't hold out much longer.

I'm sure Adam will be back soon.

Ready for some fun?

He better get back soon
or we're in trouble.

Try this.
It might wipe out the virus.

I hope you're right, Adam.

ZORDON:
If this anti-irus works

not only will it rid
the Zeo Zords of the virus

it will protect them
from reinfection.

Cross your fingers.

The Zords are fully operational.

It's time to shut
this computer down.

Back to action.

Let's do it.

Zeo Zord Five, online.

Zeo Zord Four, ready.

Zeo Zord Two, check.

Zeo Zord Three, primed.

Zeo Zord One, check.

Activate Zeo Megazord assembly.

Now.

All right,
begin transformation.

Good position, guys.

Hold them steady.

Zeo Five on final approach.

All right, prepare for lockdown.

ALL:
Zeo Megazord, power up!

I see you're feeling better.

You must need another dose
of my virus.

The main source of Mean Screen's
power is his screen.

If the Rangers can destroy that

they will defeat him.

[ laughing ]

Let's reverse the charges.

If it's ram he wants

it's ram he'll get.

Let's blow his circuits.

I know how to stop a computer.

Just make it crash.

Whoa! Whoa!

My screen!

My beautiful screen!

Look what you've done.

Let's send him back to cyberspace.

♪ Go, go, Power Rangers ♪

♪ Zeo Power Rangers. ♪

I can't believe this is happening.

Who is responsible for this?

Remember, Dad,
it was Klank's idea.

- That's right.
- It's all Klank's fault.

I'll never defeat this planet
with the likes of you around.

Are you sure he said
Fourth and Maple?

It was either that or Fifth and Oak.

We've been here a couple of hours

and not one car's come by.

Bulky, look.

Here comes one now.

Now is our chance to
finally wield our power.

- Duh...
- Duh...

Where have you two been?

I practically had to get airlifted

out of that traffic jam.

I guess we went to
the wrong location, sir.

Well, you leave me no choice.

Hand them over, boys.

No.
Sir, you don't mean...

Please.

Now.

[ whine ]

ZORDON:
Adam, I would like to take

this opportunity to commend you

for your quick thinking
during our recent crisis.

I'm just lucky
Raymond was there

to provide the know-how.

That's usually Billy specialty.

Did I hear my name?

- Billy!
- Ay yi yi!

- Billy.
- Billy!

How's it going, man?

It's great.

The Aquitians solved their conflict

through peaceful means

so I'm ready to come home.

All right!

We miss you, Billy.

I miss you guys too.

How is everything?

Well, we caught a little bug,
but we're over it now.

ZORDON:
Billy, we are all anxious

to have you back.

Have a safe journey.

I will, Zordon.

- See ya.
- Bye, Billy.

Safe journey?
Not if I can help it.

It would be much easier

if the brainy one would
just get lost on his way home.

I think we should plan
a special welcome for Billy.

Let's throw him a
welcome home party

that he will never forget!

How...

I can't believe this is happening.

I'm not working anymore!
Where's my agent?

He's playing golf.

Try the cell phone.

That's a big ten-four on
that code blue, good buddy.

We read you loud and clear.

Putting the pedal to...
