the domed city of corinth.

Gemma:
"dear awesome diary,

"What a fascinating two weeks
it's been

"For gem and me
getting to know all the rangers.

"Dillon is nice,
but very brooding.

"I'd be brooding, too,

If I was slowly turning
into an evil venjix robot."

How much longer, doc?

The weekly antivirus uploads
merely slow the rate of growth.

They don't reverse it.

So it's not perfect,
but it is working.

"Summer is totally caring,

"Especially when it comes
to dillon.

"Oh, and her hair
is super-flippy.

"I should ask her what she uses.

"As our team leader,

Scott is really brave
and a total go-getter."

I'm just saying

That if we can divert %
of the shield power

Away from zone alpha --

I said no.
Come on.

"Unfortunately,
he's a lot like his dad.

And for some reason,
they never see eye to eye."

You can't just say no
and not give me a reason!

Truman:
I have work to do.

"Gem and I can always count on
ziggy to say something funny."

So, when you come out
of your morph...

Strike a victory pose,
even if you haven't won yet.

[ Grunts ]

Trust me.
The chicks love it.

"Although we don't always
get his humor.

"And then there's flynn.

I suppose
he's basically just..."

A simple mechanic?

Is that what you think --
a simple mechanic?

You read my diary?!
Yes.

I did...accidentally.

But -- but wait.

[ Beeps ]

Now, this...

This converter
gives scott's car

An extra horses

And conserves fuel.

That is not simple.

[ Converter powers down,
electricity crackles ]

Okay, wait, wait.

Wait, uh...

All right,
you want your car washed...

In three seconds?

[ Whirring, bubbling ]

Simple? I think not.

Now, over here.

This is my masterpiece.

With it --

[ Alarm blaring ]

Whoa!
Ohh!

Shield breach.

Wooded area
outside zone nine.

You know what to do.

Together:
go for megazord!

Is that a knight?

Oh! We're hit!

Those are
no ordinary lasers.

They're negatively fused
electrical discharges.

You must avoid any further hits
at all costs.

Easier said than done,
doc!

Rangers, disengage!

The bot
is charging up for -- too late.

Doc, can you tap into
our auxiliary power reserves?

Aah! Aah!
Aah! Aah!

Negative.

The charge has short-circuited
the megazord power grid.

Stand by
while I bypass the grid

To access the bioenergy fields
directly.

Valvemax megazord down!

[ Sighs ]
I need more time!

Just a simple mechanic, eh?

Take a look at this!

Gold and black,
hold still and thank me later.

What is he --
I'm afraid to ask.

It's an engine cell

I rewired to charge
the zord's combustion system.

Think of it
as wireless jumper cables.

Ranger blue,
hold your fire!

That device
is unsanctioned

And most likely incompatible
with my operating system!

Oh, for the love
of champit tatties,

Have a little faith,
will you?

Negative.

If the electrical current
interchanges polarities,

It will result in --

Doc, systems
have lost power.

...complete system failure.

No.

I don't get it.

It should have worked.

It worked!
We're back online! Yes!

Thanks, dr. K.

Now let's give this knight
a reason to be blue.

Scott: let's show him
some firepower!

He deflected it!
Watch out!

Right back at you!

Scott:
that was too close.

Summer: I know.
We were almost destroyed.

No!

Of course
it was a failure.

General bolts-for-brains here
designed it.

On the contrary,
the bot has planted

Delayed energy charges
inside corinth.

When activated, they will
disrupt the city's shields

Long enough to grant the next
attack bot access into the city.

Kudos to me and my unrivaled
design expertise!

How about letting me
have a crack

At the next
attack bot design?

I'd say I've earned it.

Sorry, tenaya ,
but I've already designed it.

And trust me when I say

It promises to be unlike
anything

The rangers
have ever seen!

[ Laughs evilly ]

I'm sorry...to all of you.

The engine cell
should have worked.

I honestly don't know
what happened.

Then allow me to explain!

You completely obliterated
the bioenergy channels

Required to fuel the
megazord-combining sequencing!

I'll go out on a limb
and say that's a bad thing?

Until I can repair
the channels,

None of you
will have enough power

To achieve megazord status.

So if the next attack bot
supersizes

Before
you can fix it...

Then we're done for.

All right, well,
maybe if I can go back

Into the engine-cell
configurations --

You are not to pull another
stunt like this ever again!

Stunt?

Upgrading and improving
mechanical devices is what I do.

It's my profession.

I cut my own hair
with lefty scissors,

And yet I'm smart enough
to know that, as a barber,

I'd be an abject failure.

Funny how that works.

Gemma:
"sure, flynn screwed up today,

"But dr. K should give him
credit for trying, right?

"He actually built
some advanced stuff.

Maybe he's not just
a simple mechanic."

Well, that's that.
Bedtime.

You coming?
You go.

I'll be right there.

Gen. Shifter: behold
the hammer attack bot --

The latest general shifter
original.

Bravo! Another winner!

Ha-ha!

Are you kidding me?

I could have come up
with something

A thousand times
better than this.

Your job is not to create
attack bots, tenaya .

Then what exactly
is my job?

I refuse to just sit around
twiddling my thumbs while --

You will do as I say!

Remain here
as the hammer bot

Destroys the power rangers
once and for all.

Okay, well, i-i'm sworn
not to reveal the secrets

Of shadow puppets,

But, um, if you really
want to know, I --

I don't.

Sorry,
neither do i.

Good night.

You going to bed,
gemma?

Hey, that's my stuff
you're messing with!

What do you call
this thing?

It's a self-deploying
combat weapon.

It never really...made it
to the naming-it stage

On account of it not being
"sanctioned," but --

"But" nothing!

It's brilliant!

All right,
what's your angle, missy?

No angle.

How about we give your fantastic
little weapon some upgrades?!

Just you and me!

You and me?

Not you and gem?

You're not gonna, um,
finish my sentences, are you?

No.

How do you feel about the name
"road-attack zord"?

Can you pass me
that -mil driver?

[ Screeching ]

[ Alarm blaring ]

Venjix attack bot.
City square.

Look at these energy readings!
This one's off the chart!

[ Crashing ]

And our megazord
power cells?

Still inoperable.

I'm sorry, rangers.

I've got no choice but to send
you completely unarmed.

Come on, guys.
Let's get to work.

You go ahead.

Hurry!

Doctor, I've been
developing a weapon.

I-it --
the road-attack zord.

I helped him upload it
into your system last night.

[ Gasps ]

You two accessed
my bioenergy configurations

Without permission!

We could downmorph it and use it
to fend off the attack bot. Negative.

Unleashing this unproven,
untested entity

Is likely to backfire
and destroy us all.

[ Crashing ]

Now get out there.
We're wasting time.

Gen. Shifter: attack!

Let's pound this hammer!

Whoa! Wait!

Come on!

Right behind you!

Who else
would like a turn? Hmm?

Step right up!

Don't mind if I do!

Venjix: the hammer bot seems
to be performing just fine,

Wouldn't you agree,
tenaya ?

Tenaya?

You told her not to,
but she left anyway!

I bet you're mad!

[ Grumbles ]

Ooh, I love it
when you get mad!

[ Grumbles ]

[ Tires screech ]

[ Gasps ]

Aaaah!

Whoa!

Tenaya, you nearly
didn't make an exit

Without your entourage
of grinders!

Thanks.

This thing's too strong.

dr. K, I'll dispatch my men
to the rangers' location.

Negative, colonel,
there's no time!

Doctor,
downmorph the wheel!

It'll work!

If anyone knows their way
around a tire, it's me!

For pity's sake, woman!

Would you just trust me
for once?!

Doc, please,
we need something!

Stand by for road-attack zord
downmorph.

Look out!

Check it out!

Hold on to it!

Whoa!

Heads up!
It's coming straight for us!

I'll hold it back!

Aaaah!

Ohh!

Gem:
it's got too much power!

Dr. K: take evasive action.
It's completely uncontrollable.

Ranger gold,
it's coming back!

Gem!

We need help!

We got it!
Hold on!

Flynn!
Flynn!

Guys, I'm sorry.
I don't know what happened.

I do.

And it's all my fault.

Scott: [ groans ]

Not going to last
much longer!

All right, listen, I installed
a built-in shutoff.

Just give it a good whack
right in the middle.

I got it.

[ Tire screeching ]

[ Hisses ]

It worked!
Road-attack zord is offline!

What did you mean,
it was your fault?

My upgrade --

It gave it
too much power.

Flynn, I'm so sorry.

Don't be.

Power
is exactly what we need.

Dr. K, you need to listen to me
very carefully.

[ Tires screech ]

Whoo! This little thing
packs a wallop.

[ Clanks ]
huh?

Prepare the download.

Now that the rangers are done
playing with their toys,

Destroy them
once and for all!

Oh!

Look out!

Take cover!

Huh?

Flynn: somebody
call for a mechanic?

Flynn!

And gemma.
We're cleared to go megazord!

Fire!

Ohh!

Whoa.

How did you do that?

I diverted the wheel's
excess energy.

It was flynn's idea.

Aye, let's do this thing!

Right!

Rangers, downmorphing sky rav
megazord configuration.

All: power rangers rpm!

Ranger blue,

You're go to redeploy
your road-attack zord.

But we need
a new engine cell!

Lucky a good mechanic never
travels without his tools.

Engine cell, activate!

nothing's happening.

Wait for it.

Whoa, flynn,
that's amazing!

Gem: brilliant!

Flynn: yahoo!

I certainly hope you weren't
doubting the competence

Of me or my rangers,
colonel.

I'd say it's about time
we finished the lad off.

All: fire!

[ Tire screeches ]

Troubling, indeed.

What can I say?
It must be the human in me.

Silence!

You are % machine!

Never disobey me again,
or I'll reduce you to scrap!

Reduce her to scrap now!

Come on!
I want to see it!

You better watch your step!

Ooh!

Gemma:
"dear awesome diary,

"What a fascinating experience
it's been

"Getting to know
all the rangers.

I find blue ranger a bit more
fascinating than the rest."

Well, I'm turning in.

Me too.

"P.s...

"He's a mechanic,
but he sure isn't simple --

Not at all."

Gemma.

Um, would you be keen
to give me a hand

Building some more
venjix-destroying upgrades,

Say, this weekend?

I'd love to!

But I'm helping gem
with --

Lots of other stuff.
