Dr. K: ranger series operators,
as you all know,

I've recently learned that
my dear friends, gem and gemma,

The original test operators

Of the ranger program
series hardware,

Survived the destruction of the
alphabet soup research facility

And escaped with the gold
and silver series morphers,

Which they have been using

To wage a brutal
and merciless campaign

Against venjix
in the wasteland.

We like to sh**t first,
and...

Gemma:
ask questions later!

Boom!
Aah!

[ Both imitating explosions ]

Ahh!

So what do humans need
to live?

Food?

Water, maybe?
Or, uh...

No, television!

You know,
I don't know why I bother

Trying to include you two
at all.

I was referring to air.

Air?

Oxygen! Of course!
Ha ha!

Wait,
that was my next guess!

Gem and gemma have confronted me
with the possibility

That in an effort
to protect myself

From future
emotional trauma,

I may have
treated some of you

With a degree of forced
emotional detachment,

Perhaps even
bordering on coldness.

bordering on coldness,
you say?

That's ridiculous,
doctor.

You must be imagining it.

No, no,
I'm afraid it's true.

My insistence on referring to
each of you by your color series

Instead of by your real names
is a perfect example.

And so, as your mentor --

Mentor?
How can you be our mentor?

Aren't we all
older than you?

As your mentor,

In an effort to make my feelings
clear in an official capacity,

I have
the following announcement.

Ranger series red,

I greatly admire
your honor, integrity,

Decision-making ability,
and unusual hair.

I feel lucky to have you
as the leader of my team, scott.

Well...
Thank you, doctor.

Whoa,
what are you doing?

Ranger series yellow, as the
only other female in the group,

I want you to know that my
feelings of fondness for you

Are so strong they override even
my base biological instincts

To undermine and sabotage you

In an effort to monopolize
the attention of the males.

Thank you, summer.

Sure, doctor.
The feeling's mutual, I think.

Ranger series blue,
your passion, optimism,

And delightfully musical though
often incomprehensible accent

Are what make you the heart
of the rangers, flynn.

Happy to help out
and whatnot.

Okay.

And ranger series black...

...even though you are clearly
psychologically unstable

And here against your will

As part
of a work-release agreement,

I still consider you
a true hero, dillon.

You, too,
ranger series green.

You five are the only family
I've ever known.

I love you all very much.

Well, that was
certainly awkward.

Can we please just pretend
that didn't happen

And go back to work now?

Hey, hold on!
What about me?!

What about all the nice things
you wanted to say about me?

[ Alarm blares ]
we've got a shield breach.

It's an inverse vector.

Oxygen regeneration plant
at gate .

What about my real name?

It's ziggy!
Zigg-y!

Z-i-g-g--

Come on, ranger operator
series green, it's playtime.

[ Grunting ]

[ Laughs ]

That should be more than enough
damage to do the trick.

Ha!
In your face, shifter!

[ Laughs ]
aah, stop that!

I said enough!

We need to
pull out before --

Scott: before the rangers
get here.

Hmm.

Sure.
Something like that.

Grinders!

Ooh. Uh, yeah.
Stretch that hammy.

Yeah.

Uh-oh.

Okay, now you see me...

...and now, you don--

Wait, wait!

Move aside!

Up and at it.

Thanks.

Energy blast!

Hyah!

Come on!

Burst attack!

Shield!

Tenaya : so long.

Grab onto something!

Energy levels are down!

Good to know!

Our weight seems to be
an advantage!

No more dieting for me!
[ Laughs ]

Everyone hang on!

Is that the best advice
you have for us right now,

Fearless leader?

It doesn't seem right,
destroying the rangers

With their own city's
recycled oxygen.

[ Laughs ]

But I'm going to go ahead
and do it anyway.

What can I say?
I'm just rotten to the core.

I'm slipping!

Summer!

You're not going anywhere!

Whoa!

No, no!
Ziggy!

No!

A little help,
a little help! No!

Hy...
Ah!

I was not worried.

Until next time,
rangers.

Come on,
we can still... Catch them!

Rangers,
the enemy's bugging out. Fall back to gamma perimeter.

Roger that, colonel.
Understood.

Gem! Gemma!

Wait! We need to pull back
and reinforce our defenses!

But how can we...
Defeat the enemy...

When the enemy...

Is out there?

No,
we stay within the dome,

Defend the city --
that's the plan!

But who...
Says?

I do.

We've detected movement
of massive venjix troops

And hardware
outside the dome.

So then we should
go out there and...

Kick some venjix butt,
oh, yeah! No!

It's obvious that a major attack
on the city is imminent.

We need to divert all power to
the shield, seal out the enemy.

Sure, that sounds...

Like a super plan.

Want to hear...
Our plan?

This outpost is three klicks
from the main gate.

We're gonna
go out there and... Blow it up!

[ Both imitating explosions ]

Gee, you make it sound
so easy.

Hicks, give them
the damage report.

Yes, sir.

The damage to the oxygen
regeneration plant is extensive.

We'll be living only on the air
in the dome for the next days

Until we can rebuild it.

And that's why we can't afford
to let it get hit again.

That's why I'm going to
charge up the dome shield

Beyond its current
energy limits.

Okay, good luck...
With that.

We've got
a venjix outpost... To blow up.

Once I've overcharged
the shield,

I won't be able to lower it
to let you two back in. Meh.

Dad...
Maybe they have a point.

Maybe if we start launching
some offensive attacks,

Then we can --

And put the last human city
left on this earth at risk?

What are you two
trying to do, exactly?

We're trying...
To win!

Why,
what are you trying...

To do, colonel?

Venjix: excellent.

The foolish humans
appear to be preparing

To overload the charge
on the city shield as we speak.

Once the shields
are powered up to that level,

It will be hours before
they can lower them again.

And by that time,
it will be too late.

My vacuum bot will have sucked
all the air out of the city

With everyone
trapped inside,

Unable to lower
their own shields to escape.

[ Vacuum whirs ]

Ziggy: because I wanted to
make sure you didn't

Have any more announcements
you wanted to make.

No,
ranger series green.

Well, maybe something
of a more personal nature.

Maybe something or someone
you forgot to mention.

No, I don't think so.

Well, probably because you had
really deep feelings about it,

Or him, and that would make it
harder for you to express.

Ahh, scott, summer.

Hey, doc,
come check this out.

Now, here's the movement
of the venjix troops

We've been tracking,

And down here's the outpost
that gem and gemma went to hit.

Now, what's this line
running from here to here

Under the city?

It's a prehistoric
underground riverbed.

It only shows up
on the geological survey maps.

Well,
venjix could never

Get troops into the city
through there.

Wait, what if he's not
trying to get troops in?

What if they're
trying to take something out?

[ Siren chirps ]

What's the reading,
hicks?

We just need to expel half
a percentage more nitrogen,

And then air levels
will be optimal.

Okay,
prepare to seal all gates

And surge all available power
supplies towards the shield.

I am by regulation dictated
to remind the colonel, sir,

That overcharging the shields
will mean

Losing the ability to raise
or lower the city shield

For several hours, sir.

Dad! Dad!

Wait, stop, wait!
You can't do this!

Not now, son.

No, no, no,
you don't understand!

Venjix wants us to panic
and overcharge the shields!

Sir, we're losing
optimal air.

Seal all gates.
Overcharge the shield.

Seal all gates.
Overcharge the shield.

repeat, overcharging of shield
has been authorized.

oxygen approaching
critical level.

Dad, listen to me.

Gem and gemma were right!
We can't just hide in here!

Son, you know the plan.

Yeah, I know the plan.

This time,
I ain't just following it.

Scott!

Scott!

Scott! Hicks,
get this thing open!

Sir, it won't matter!
Scott!

Sir, the shields
are overcharged!

We won't be able to lower them
for at least a few hours!

I'm afraid he's trapped
out there, sir.

And we're trapped in here.

[ Breathing heavily ]

What do you suppose...
It is?

Scott: hey.

Maybe I can
shine some light on that.

Scott!

So glad you...
Could make it!

Why the change...
Of heart?

New information.

Venjix is planning
to suck the oxygen supply

Out of the city from there.

That would explain...

The tube.

Look, we need to split up.

Gem, you distract the grinders.
Gemma, you come with me.

Oh, no,
we don't ever... Split up.

There's a first time
for everything.

[ Gasps ]

Watch it!

Crunch: get moving,
you lazy machines!

That means "now"!

Here goes.

[ Screams ]

Ah, a ranger!

That's right!

We need to pull back
on the shield power. Sir, there's no way.

colonel, I'm showing oxygen
levels beginning to drop

In the dome's
upper atmosphere.

scott was right.
so were gem and gemma.

We have to get out there
and help them stop venjix, now!

it'll be hours before
i can pull enough energy

away from the grid
to lower the shields.

We don't have hours,
colonel.

there's no way out.

There's one way. Station .
Remember, dillon?

It vents propane gas
even when the shields are up.

I thought
that was only at dawn.

But we can reset the city's
atomic clock --

Resent it all for dawn!
Let's do it!

There's only one problem --
with the shield overcharged,

The flame bursts
will be firing at a rate

Times
faster than normal.

Then we have to
be very careful.

[ Air whooshing ]

Let's do it!

No, wait! Come here!

Ugh!

Listen to me.

If we plan to triangulate
our fire --

Then it's boom time!

Gemma, wait!
The pressure is too high!

Gemma!

This is it.
It's the only way out.

Why wouldn't she just call me
by my first name?

We've got to go through.
We've got no choice.

Good, then we can stop talking
and get to it.

I mean, "ziggy" --
is that so hard?

Would you get your head
in the game, man?

Ready?

Ready!
Ready! Ready!

All:
rpm! Get in gear!

Ha! Fire!

Look out!

Ready?
Yeah!

Street saber!

Initiating
chi energy burst.

Roger, ranger yellow.

Be careful to conserve
energy flow.

Energy blast!

Initiating -second
time freeze!

Hyah!

Invincibility shield! Hyah!

Okay, ranger series green,

Who also answers
to the name "ziggy,"

Is initiating
his teleport thing.

Hey, I made it.

We all made it!

And this was all my idea,

So maybe some kind words
are in order

From our
self-proclaimed mentor.

maybe,
"nice job, ziggy,"

or how about, "so glad
you're on the team, ziggy."

Uh, ranger series green,

I suggest you move
to another location immediately.

oh, no, see,
i'm not moving anywhere

Until you call me
by my real name -- "ziggy."

Come on!

I mean, seriously,
am I asking too much?

Suck on this!

Whoo-hoo!

[ Coughing ]

Gotcha!

Hey, guys!

Wait right there, okay?

Be right back.

Oh, sure.
My pleasure.

Just go
and be destroyed now. Bye-bye!

Mind if I join you?

Not a moment too soon.

Let's send this sucker...
Back to the junkyard!

Engine cell activate!

Combine weapons!
Combine weapons!

Locked!

And loaded!

Fire! Fire!

Venjix:
begin the download now!

Whoo-hoo!

Time for some
spring cleaning!

Finish it, rangers.
Zord time!

Combine!

Super saber!

You're going down!

[ Energy blasts ]

[ Grunting ]
this is not good!

Come on, rangers.

He's got us!

We got to...
Do something!

Gem? Gemma?
I'm downmorphing your zords.

Hyah! Hyah!

Locked in! Locked in!

Going in!

[ Energy blasts ]

Right behind you.

Let's combine!
Do it!

You're toasted!
You're toasted!

[ expl*si*n ]

Oxygen levels have returned
to normal all over the dome.

Ha ha!

In an effort to improve
my role as your mentor --

Ah, mentor.

Sorry, can someone
please explain to her

That she's younger
than us?

...i want to begin
adding positive reinforcement

To our
post-mission debriefings.

Scott, as usual,

Your judgment and leadership
were impeccable.

Summer, you served admirably
as leader

In scott's brief absence,
and I love those shoes.

Flynn, excellent work,
as always.

Dillon, you showed
amazing courage.

Gem, gemma, you guys
have made me proud.

And you...

I...

[ Alarm blares ]

No, uh, no, wait!
You weren't finished!

Scott: sector !

Come on, this could be
the last time you ever see me!

[ Engine turns over ]

I'm serious!
