one place we can be safe --

the domed city of corinth.

and the only hope
we have left is...

It is my conclusion that venjix
is altering its strategy

For destroying our city.

If my analysis is correct,

Venjix now intends
to launch a single crushing

And unstoppable aerial attack
led by this --

A massive armored
aerial-attack vehicle.

Right. Well, that, obviously,
is the bad news.

Now for the good news?

This aerial attack bot

Is equipped with
-millimeter laser cannons,

Duel landing strips for landing
and refueling drones,

And this
frequency-scrambling dish

I'm calling
the shield buster.

Just haven't gotten to
the good-news part yet, clearly.

Dr. K, how long before this
new threat could be launched?

Within hours.

Flynn: hours?

Less
than two days?

And the good news is
w-we can bring it down by...

Once it's airborne,

We don't have enough firepower
to ever bring it down.

Okay,
I'm really starving

For a silver lining
of some kind here, doctor.

Then we attack the factory
right now,

Make sure that thing
never leaves the ground.

Ooh! We can use
a neutronic detonator... To blow up the entire factory compound!

We can't
just blow it up.

Dillon's sister
might still be in there.

Yeah, not to mention
all the other workers.

We need an operation

To rescue the civilian prisoners
from that factory

Before blowing it
and that thing inside

Off the face
of the earth.

Gem: sure.

Hey, just let us know
when... It's "boom" time!

We love...
To go...

Ker--
boom!

Ber--
blow!

There.
Was that so hard?

We rescue
the civilians,

We save dillon's sister,
and then we set the, uh...

Boom-happy twins loose
on the factory.

Sounds like good news
to me.

As usual, ranger green,
it's not that simple.

Even if we succeed at destroying
this doomsday vehicle,

Venjix will build
another one.

Then we need the firepower
to match that thing.

Where are we gonna get anything
that could ever match that?

Well,
ranger green...

Is there any good news
you'd like to contribute

At this juncture?

Venjix: I present

The new and improved
saw bot generation !

Oh!

Yes, a worthy successor,
master venjix!

But that's a bit
on the pathetic side, don't you think?

The rangers have already
defeated your saw creation.

Sending it after them again
is like,

I don't know --

Asking a girl
out on a date

After she's just totally
rejected you.

[ Laughter ]

On the contrary,
tenaya .

The defeat of the saw bot
was hardly pathetic.

It was only
part of the plan

For having it ultimately destroy
the power rangers.

During the initial encounter
with the rangers,

The saw bot's goal
was not to defeat them.

It was merely
to gather raw data,

To study the ranger's moves,
to uncover their weaknesses,

And to use that information
for the base programming

Of this incarnation
of the saw bot.

Let me guess --
it's now invincible?

Invincible enough
to destroy the rangers

And to make certain that
my ultimate plan takes flight.

[ Alarm wails ]

Tenaya : sensors
are picking up signs

Of a human raiding party
nearing sector .

Sector ?

That's the location
of the primary factory site!

Ah,
they're much too late!

My doomsday weapon
will be online and airborne

In a matter of hours!

Prepare the drone squadrons
and my personal ship

For an aerial attack
on the city!

Yes, master! Yes, master!

Saw bot, go!

[ Saw blades whir ]

The new saw bot will know
just where to find them.

[ Electronic humming ]

Looks quiet.

No signs of life.

Okay,
everybody listen up. Yes, sir.

Our primary objective

Is to destroy
the new venjix doomsday weapon.

That thing cannot be allowed to
launch under any circumstances.

Do I make myself clear?

Let us know,
and we'll...

Blow the entire factory
to smithereens!

Just say...
The word.

And that word...
Is "boom"!

No one says "boom" until
I get my sister out of there.

Understand?

Then we're clear --
get the civilians out,

Then we blow the factory
before that thing launches.

Dr. K: and what if
we can't do both, colonel?

What if we reach a point
in the operation

Where we must choose between
the fate of the prisoners,

Including
ranger black's sister,

And the fate of the last
human city left on earth?

Listen, I've never been one
for debating ethics

Or making complicated
moral-judgment calls.

I prefer things simple,
you know?

Good versus evil.
Us versus them.

I like an enemy
right in front of me

I can see
with my own two eyes!

Aye, now that's
more like it!

No, wait!

We destroyed that thing before.
I'm sure!

Scott: engage!

No, stop! The armor's
too strong for blasters!

Hold your men back!
Leave this one to us.

All:
rpm! Get in gear!

[ Both chuckle ]

Yah!

Hy--
ah!

[ Saw blades whirring ]

Aah!
Ugh!

Hyah!

Yah!

Gem, gemma!

Detonate
one of the charges.

If you set it for a smaller,
localized blast --

On it! On it!

[ Saw blades whirring ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Chuckles ]

Ha ha haaa!

[ Beep ]

[ Both laughing ]

Now that...
Was a blast!

Ha ha!

Stay alert!

The saw bot will undoubtedly
return with more grinders.

We must proceed
with the offensive.

Venjix is aware we know
the location of the factory.

Security will be
exponentially increased

Before we can ever mount
another attack.

[ Beep ]

Right.
Then it's now or never.

My men will hold
this position.

Take your team in
and proceed with the operation.

Sir, yes, sir.

All right, people.

It's game time.

[ Ziggy chuckles ]

[ Mechanical whirring ]

[ Laughs ]

Hah!

Aah!

Hyah!

Hey, there.

[ Whistles ]

Over here.

Aah!

Yah!

Good work.

Our best bet
is to split up.

Here, scott.
Thanks.

Okay. Summer, you stay
near the entrance.

You'll be in charge of
detonating the expl*sives. Okay.

Flynn, ziggy, you guys
search for prisoners.

Works for me.
Aye. Come on.

Dillon, you and I
need to plant the charges

Around the perimeter.

I need
to find my sister.

Let gem and gemma --
hey!

Good luck, guys!
We have...

Our own instructions
from dr. K!

Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!

Come on!

Whoa, easy, guys.

Let's check it out.

Where do we find
this doomsday thing?

We don't need to.

If we set charges
along here,

It'll set off
the primary reactor.

Then everything in this place
will go up.

And everyone.

Dillon!

[ Saw blades whirring ]

[ Grunting ]

Hyah!
Get away from her!

I'm fine!

Scott!
Go plant the charges!

We'll keep this thing
off you!

Go!
Right!

Ugh! Aah!

Okay,
the flash drive is... Inserted.

You're sure this is...
Gonna work?

Not in the least.

But this is our only chance
of countering

This doomsday technology
head-on.

Venjix,
sensors are picking up

Some kind of foreign
dna base code

Being uploaded
into the factory mainframe.

Activate the attack-ship
launch codes!

It's time
to finish this!

Ugh!

Yah!

[ Beep, beep ]

[ Saw blades whirring ]

Hang on, dillon!
Yeah!

Ugh! Ahh!

Ugh!

Enough of this!

Energy blast!

Yah!

[ Grunts ]

Come on, get up.

[ Engines roar ]

Dillon, they're getting ready
to launch that thing.

And my sister
could still be in here.

You are not
going to -- no...

...you are.

Woman:
clear for launch.

It's the venjix attack ship
preparing to launch.

Summer,
what do you want me to do?

Whatever you think is right.
I'll keep this thing busy.

Summer, wait!

Summer,
the charges are in place!

We have no choice
but to detonate.

Dillon,
there's no time!

[ Saw blades whirring ]

Dr. K: dillon, disregard
ranger red's command.

Wait for my go to initiate
neutronic detonation.

Why?
The doomsday ship --

Must go airborne
and clear minimum safe distance

Before you detonate.

Trust me.
I know what I'm doing.

More or less.

Flynn: nearly there!
Watch your step!

Head right to the military
transport -- : !

That's
the last of them.

Right.

Blue to base.
The civilians are out.

We're all clear.
As is the venjix doom bot.

Ranger black,

You are go
for full detonation.

[ Beep,
electronic whirring ]

Huh!

All right, filing into the
trucks in an orderly fashion!

Come on, people,
this way!

Let me help you up.

Maybe she escaped.

Or she's still inside.

Dillon, there's no one else.
We looked everywhere.

Dillon!

Dillon!

Gem, gemma, I need you to

Intercept dillon and summer
at gate "c" to the factory.

Do not let them enter!

Sorry, scott.

We're a little busy...

With an old friend.

[ Saw blades whir ]

And he doesn't quit!

But neither...
Do we!

Ha!
Hyah!

Yah!

Whoo!

Both:
engine cell activate!

Ready!

Rpm!

Get in gear!

Huh! Ha!

Combine weapons!

Gem: locked!

And loaded!

Skyship laser!

Fire!

Yeah!

Whoo-hoo!

Tenaya , initiate attack bot
power load, and victory --

Shall be ours.

Yeah, I'll believe it
when I see it.

Prepare the download.

Gem:
ooh, yikes!

Gemma:
this can't be good.

Venjix: saw bot, drones,
assume attack formations

And set coordinates
to corinth!

Doomsday bot,
fire when ready!

Truman:
they're attacking corinth!

The shields can't sustain
that kind of firepower!

Dr. K, I hope you know
what you're doing!

Why does everyone
keep saying that?

Of course I am aware
of what I am doing!

I just have absolutely no idea
of whether or not it will work.

[ Siren wails ]

Man: close the gates!
Set up a perimeter!

Man: # :
reinforce gate !

[ Alarm siren wailing ]

Dr. K,
the shields are failing.

Hicks, report!

At current rate
of sustained venjix firepower,

The shield will experience
full system failure

In five, four,
three...

Two, one...

Got it!

Scott:
hey, guys.

Ziggy:
so, what's going on, doc?

Dr. K: I've got your good news,
ranger series green.

You know venjix's
superpowerful doomsday weapon?

Well,
it works for us now.

I had gem and gemma
reprogram it

With the base dna code
for a blue whale,

Infusing it
with the organic biofoundation

That can fuse
with our ranger hardware.

Wow.
Doctor, that's great.

Outstanding!

Y-yeah,
but why a whale?

I mean,
they don't even fly.

I -- I --

Just the whole thing seems
kind of like a stretch.

Would do you prefer
I program it back

Into a deadly,
shield-busting

Venjix doomsday weapon,
ranger green?

No, no, that's okay.

'Cause I can do that
if you feel

It would be more appropriate
than a whale.

Just -- I'm sorry.

Forget I said anything,
okay?

Activating -second
attack-bird configuration.

The saw bot
has infiltrated the city.

Well, so what's new?
Zord us up.

Negative.

Not only is the attack bot
mammoth in size,

But its data streams

Are showing enhanced
memory upgrades.

It knows all of your megazord
attack formations,

Weaknesses included.

Meaning?

Meaning...there's no way
you can stop it.

I suggest sending in
a formation it hasn't seen.

Rangers silver and gold,
stand by for zords.

Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Begin activation
of whale-dna base-code sequence.

Gem:
consider it activated!

Now, let's show
this thing...

Something
it's never seen!

Both:
go to mach megazord!

Look --
it has no idea what...

To make of us!

[ Saw blades whir ]

Ready...

Aim...

Fire!

Hey, gem, want to know
what I'm thinking

We should do
with this thing next?

Since when do I not think
what you think?

Dr. K, care to bring this
to a rousing finale?

Affirmative. Stand by
for energy power bow download.

Yeah!

Just like old times,
eh, dr. K?

[ Cheering ]

Scott: look, doctor,
dillon and summer

Are still trapped
in the burning factory.

It's too hot.

We can't even get close.

Stand by for assistance.

Aah!

Dillon, no. If we don't
get out of here now --

You're right.
You need to go now!

I'm not leaving here
without you!

Why are you always trying
to save me?!

Because
you're worth saving!

Looks like neither of us
is leaving.

[ Laughs ]

A flying whale!

Now, that's something
you don't see...

Every day!

My sister's cell --
tell me where it is.

Oh,
you're standing...

Right in it now.

Ugh!

There's nothing here.
It's another dead end!

Summer: wait!

There's this.

My sister.
