His remains lay scattered all over the area. They are smoking. Suddenly a portal opens in the sky and a beam strikes the remains. The piece lift into the air and merge together. A monster forms from the remains. It looks kind of like Shadow Knight, except it has scars all over the body. It is very dark colored. Around the scars are some green stains that look like blood. The monster's eyes are all white, and look like there is no life in them.
Zombie Shadow Knight: I will have my revenge on those Rangers. My army of undead creatures shall take over this city in no time.
He teleports away in a cloud of grey smoke.
Scene 2
Setting: The Power Chamber. The Eastern Rangers and Zordon are the only ones in the room.
Zordon: How did you sleep last night Rangers?
Tai: Ok, I guess.
Karen: Those beds were a bit hard.
Joe: I can't complain. We have no place else to go.
Zordon: I would have let you go home, but I don't think your parents would be able to accept having two of you there.
Victor: Any luck tracking that monster yet?
Zordon: No. It seems to have vanished completly.
Max: I have a feeling it won't stay quiet for long.
Act 2
Scene 1
Setting: 3000. Time Force Headquarters. Captain Logan is talking with one of the employees.
Man: This doesn't look good at all sir.
Logan: Let me see.
He leans over a computer screen that the man is working at. On the right side of the screen is a picture of the Thunder Ranger. On the left are two bars, the left bar is green and is as tall as the screen. The right bar is red and is almost to small to see.
Logan: Care to explain the readout to me?
Man: I'd be glad to. The left bar is the power capacity of the Gold Thunder Morpher. The power capacity is at 100%, which means the morpher is fine. The right bar is the actual power level inside the morpher. It is usualy at the same level as the power capacity, except when the Rangers are morphed and fighting.
Logan: He's about to lose his powers, isn't he?
Man: I'm affraid so. Normally after a fight the morpher recharges itself. When Max's morpher was damaged in battle the morpher stoped recharging. I'd say he has one morph left before he loses his powers forever.
Logan: I better contact the Rangers and let them know.
Man: One more thing.
Logan: Yes?
Man: If Max loses his power in 1996 the Rangers may not be able to safley travel back here when they are done.
Logan: Why not?
Man: It takes all 6 powers to safley open the portal and get through. It can be done with only 1 coin, but the more coins used the safer it is.
Logan: I'll be sure to tell them that.
Captain Logan leaves the room.
Scene 2
Setting: Captain Logan's office. The door opens and he walks in. He sits down at his desk and enters some numbers into his console. A computerized voice starts talking.
Voice: Initiating time communication. Establishing required linkups.
A few moments pass.
Voice: Linkups established, begin communication.
Scene 3
Setting: The Power Chamber. An alert sounds in the main room. Alpha comes running in.
Alpha: Aye ay ay ay aye. We have a message from the year 3000 coming in.
Karen: Bring it up Alpha.
Alpha: It should be coming up.........Now.
Captain Logan's face appears on the viewing globe.
Logan: Hello Rangers.
Tai: Hi. What's up?
Logan: Is Max around?
Max walks closer to the viewing globe.
Max: I'm here.
Logan: I have some bad news about your powers.
Max: I figured you would. They faded out durring the last battle.
Logan: We think you have just enough power left to morph one last time.
Max: So my next fight is the end huh?
Logan: It may not be a good idea for you to use that power.
Max: Why not?
Logan: Soon you will have to return to 3000. The time portal can be opened with only one of the power coins, but the more coins you use the safer it is. If you don't have any power left you may not make it safely back here.
Max: I understand.
Victor: We all do.
Zordon: I think it best if Max does not fight unless absolutley neccessary.
Max gets a depressed look on his face.
Max: I agree.
Logan: I must go now. Good luck Rangers, and I hope to see you back here soon.
The viewing globe goes blank.
Kara: This is gonna get ugly if we lose you Max.
Tai: We'll take care of the monsters for you.
Joe: I bet Captain Logan and the rest of Time Force is already working on a way to restore your powers.
Max: Thanks for the support guys.
Scene 4
Setting: The Moon Palace. Gridster is looking over Zombie Shadow Knight.
Gridster: You are a hideouse creature! The ugliest I've ever seen.
Zombie Shadow Knight: Is that good or bad?
Gridster: Well, it depends on what you can do.
Zombie Shadow Knight: Just one touch from my hand will turn any human into my mindless slave.
Gridster: That sounds like a lot of fun.
He walks to the other side of the room.
Gridster: That Gold Ranger is losing his powers. I'll have the Destroyers draw him out. You will fight him until his powers give out. When they do you make him serve us.
Zombie Shadow Knight: I like it. That will be a great way for me to get revenge on those Rangers for destroying me.
Gridster: Just make sure your revenge doesn't get in the way of my plan. Understand?
Zombie Shadow Knight: Yes master.
Gridster: Good.
He points his fingers at a group of Destroyers.
Gridster: Get down there and cause some chaos to bring the Rangers out.
The Destroyers teleport away.
Scene 5
Setting: A commercial area in Angel Grove. People are all around shopping. The Destroyers teleport in.
Destroyer: You know the orders, now carry them out.
The Destroyers scatter all around the area and start breaking stuff. People are running in terror. As one man tries to escape a Destroyer grabs his shoulder and starts sqeezing it. The man falls to the ground in pain.
Man: Please! Let go!
The Destroyer picks up the man and tosses him against a building.
Destroyer: How's that?
Scene 6
Setting: The Power Chamber. The alarms start going off.
Zordon: What is happening Alpha?
Alpha: It looks like Gridster has sent some Destroyers.
Kara: Should we go get them?
Zordon: I'm not sure.
Just then a communication comes in. Past Karen's voice comes over the speakers.
Past Karen: Zordon. Come in.
Zordon's voice: I read you Karen.
Past Karen: We have an emergency at the school. The Gridster Rangers have taken eveyone hostage and are gonna kill all of us if we don't reveal our identites.
Zordon's voice: Are the other Rangers with you?
Past Karen: No, they are with the hostages. I was the only one who could get away.
Zordon's voice: You must distract the Gridster Rangers and give the people a chance to get away.
Past Karen: I don't stand a chance agaist them.
Zordon's voice: I know. I am sorry but you must try. Until I can find a weakness with them you are all in mortal danger. Good luck, and may the power protect you.
Past Karen: Oh man, this is bad.
The communication ends.
Zordon: Your counterparts are in great danger at the moment. There is no choice but to send you.
Joe: I remember that day. But wasn't that before the Gridster Rangers got their Megazord?
Victor: Yeah it was. Remember, Captain Logan said our presence here was altering time.
Tai: Then I suggest we go get that monster that was sent back and get outta here before we cause any more damage.
Kara: I agree.
Victor: I think you should stay here Max. We don't want to lose you.
Max: I know. Good luck.
Tai: Thanks man.
Victor, Tai, Kara, Karen, Joe: IT'S MORPHIN TIME!

Scene 7
Setting: The commercial center. The Rangers teleport in.
Karen: Look at this place!
People are lying injured all over the plaza.
Joe: They've never been this violent before.
Victor: We have to stop them right now. Let's move!
The Rangers charge towards the Destroyers.
Destroyer: Here they come. Get them.
The Destroyers also charge towards the Rangers.
Tai: Good. I think we have their full attention.
Joe and Karen veer off to the left. A group of 6 Destroyers follow them. Joe punches one in the face. It counters by kicking him in the groin as it steps back. Joe hits his knees in pain.
Karen: Are you ok?
Joe: N...No.
Karen moves to help him up but before she gets to him 3 of the Destroyers surround him. She is distracted by the other 3 from the group. She grabs one and flips it over her shoulder, hitting another one. The 2 Destroyers fall down. She punches the other one in the gut. As it bends over she knees it in the face.
Karen: That takes care of them.
Joe is doing well against the 3 attacking him. He jumps in the air as one tries to sweep his legs out from under him. As he lands he sticks his legs out and kicks 2 of them. As soon as he does land he punches the remaining Destroyer in the back.
The other Rangers are also doing well against the enemy. Victor sucker punches two Destroyers. Tai jumps off of Kara's shoulders and jump kicks a Destroyer into a few others. Just minutes after Joe and Karen have taken care of the group that followed them the others finish off the rest of them. The Rangers regroup.
Victor: That takes care of them.
Joe: Should we go back to the Power Chamber?
Karen: I guess. There is nothing else here.
Kara: Besides, we gotta track down that monster Gridster sent back.
Suddenly a cloud of grey smoke appears in front of the Rangers. Zombie Shadow Knight appears.
Zombie Shadow Knight: Allow me to save you the trouble of looking.
Tai: Shadow Knight! I thought we beat you.
Zombie Shadow Knight: Shadow Knight is dead. I am Zombie Shadow Knight.
Kara: Gross. Let's just get this over with.
Zombie Shadow Knight runs towards the Rangers.
Zombie Shadow Knight: My revenge will be complete!
Act 3
Scene 1
Setting: The battle.
As Zombie Shadow Knight charges the Rangers they take a defensive position. Just before he gets to the Rangers he quickly changes course and runs to one of the injured people laying around.
Karen: What's he doing?
Tai: Maybe he knows we're too much for him.
Victor: I don't think so.
Zombie Shadow Knight grabs the person and lifts her up to his face.
Zombie Shadow Knight: Allow me to show you my new power.
He bits the woman. As soon as he does all the color leaves her body. She becomes grey like the monster. Her eyes also turn all white. Zombie Shadow Knight sets her down.
Joe: What did he do to her?
Tai: She looks like a zombie.
Zombie Shadow Knight: She is Ranger. And soon all the people in this city will be. They will be my undead army.
The woman slowly moves towards the Rangers.
Victor: We're gonna have to hold her off, but try not to hurt her.
Kara: Got it.
Kara and Tai try to hold the woman back. She violently fights to break free. Victor has to come help hold her back. While they are holding her Karen and Joe go after Zombie Shadow Knight. Before they can reach him he bites another man. Joe and Karen get stuck holding him off.
Tai: We can't win this way.
Karen: He's gonna turn all these people into zombies!
Victor: We have no choice. We have to call Max.
Tai: We got this girl. Call him Vic.
Victor lets go of the woman and activates his communicator.
Scene 2
Setting: The Power Chamber. Max is standing around watching the battle on the viewing globe.
Max: This is terrible. I wish I could do something.
Alpha: The others will call if they need you.
Victor's voice comes over the speakers.
Victor's voice: Max, we need you out here now. We can't hold these people back and fight Zombie Shadow Knight at the same time. You have to stop him.
Max: I'm on my way Victor.
Zordon: I do not agree with you going, but I know the situation is grim. Good luck and may the power protect you.
Max: Thank's Zordon. IT'S MORPHING TIME!
(Time Thunder Morphing Sequence)
Scene 3
Setting: The battle. Max teleports in just as Zombie Shadow Knight is about to bite a 3rd victim. Before he can bite the man Max slashes him with the Thunder Sabre.
Zombie Shadow Knight: AAAHHHH!
He turns to see who attacked him.
Zombie Shadow Knight: Now you die Thunder Ranger.
Zombie Shadow Knight punches at Max but misses. As Max fights the monster the other subdue the zombies.
Victor: It's time to try the weapons. We have to take this guy out!
Victor: Fire Staff, power up!
Tai: Lightning Strikers, power up!
Kara: Diamond Cutter, power up!
Karen: Amethyst Blaster, power up!
Joe: Onyx Charger, power up!
Victor: Eastern Blaster power!
Victor throws the Fire Staff into the air. It stays suspened horizontaly. Tai throws up the Lightning Strikers. They land sideways on top of the Fire Staff. Kara tosses the Diamond Cutter. It sets on top of the Strikers. Karen throws the Amethyst Blaster. It lands on top of the Cutter with it's handle forming the handle of the Eastern Blaster. Finaly Joe tosses the Onyx Chargers and they hook onto the bottom of the Strikers. The Eastern Blaster falls into Victors hands. The other Rangers stand to his sides.
Tai: Get out of the way Max!
Max jumps into the air as Zombie Shadow Knight tries another attack. He lands several feet to the side.
Victor, Tai, Kara, Karen, Joe: FIRE!
A beam with all the Rangers colors leaves the Blaster and strikes Zombie Shadow Knight. He is hit hard. Sparks fly from his body.
Zombie Shadow Knight: That hurt! But it's gonna take much more than that to stop me.
Max: No problem! Thunder Sabre, power up!
The Thunder Sabre appears in his hands. He charges at Zombie Shadow Knight. As he is getting ready to strike bolts of electricity start covering his body. He steps back in pain and drops to his knees.
Kara: Oh no! Max!
The other Rangers run to help him. Zombie Shadow Knight looks on and laughs.
Zombie Shadow Knight: Looks like the little Ranger is having some problems.
Just seconds before the others can get to Max his suit flashes and vanishes. He remains on his knees, now demorphed.
Tai: Are you ok?
Max: I'm fine, but that's the end of the Gold Thunder Ranger.
Karen: We'll find some way to bring your power back.
Joe: Guys, I hate to be a downer but Zombie Shadow Knight is heading this way!
Victor looks up and sees Zombie Shadow Knight charging towards them.
Victor: Let's get Max back to the Power Chamber. We'll take care of this goon later.
Tai, Joe, Kara, Karen: Right.
They lift Max up and teleport away.
Zombie Shadow Knight: Go ahead and run. I'll just go make some more friends! Hahahahaha.
Scene 4
Setting: The Power Chamber. The Rangers teleport in.
Zordon: What happened Rangers?
Max: My powers gave out. I'm finished as a Ranger.
Tai: Is there any way you can help him Zordon?
Zordon: I'm affraid there is nothing I can do. I'm sorry Max.
Max: It's ok Zordon. It was great being a Ranger while it lasted.
Alpha: Oh no! Zombie Shadow Knight is headed for Angel Grove High School.
Victor: We have to stop him from going in there. The others already have their hands full in there. I doubt they can handle him too.
Joe: We also have to find a way to cure the people he's turn into zombies.
Zordon: I've been scanning for a cure for his bite Rangers. The only thing that can save the people he's turned into zombies is his destruction.
Kara: Well then let's go get him.
Victor, Joe, Tai, Karen, and Kara teleport away. Max, Alpha, and Zordon are the only ones in the Power Chamber.
Max: I just can't beleive my powers are gone.
Zordon: There is one hope Max.
Max: There is?
Zordon: Though I cannot be certain at this time, I sense an even stronger future for you as a Ranger.
Max: Really?!
Zordon: Yes. I feel as if your work as a Ranger has only just begun.
Max gets an excited look on his face.
Max: I hope you're right.
Scene 5
Setting: Just a few blocks from Angel Grove High. Zombie Shadow Knight is walking down the street towards the school. The Rangers teleport in.
Karen: Thats far enough.
Kara: You're finished you undead freak.
Joe: You're gonna pay for what you did to those people.
Tai: I have a fist with your name on it.
Victor: Ready guys?
Tai, Joe, Karen, Kara: You bet.
Victor: Then let's do it.
They run after Zombie Shadow Knight. Victor attacks head on with a combination of punches and kicks. Tai and Kara attack from the sides, attempting to hold him still for Victor. Karen and Joe call their weapons.
Joe: Onyx Chargers, power up!
Karen: Amethyst Blaster, power up!
They circle around behind the monster and fire their weapons at him. Just before the blasts hit Victor also grabs onto Zombie Shadow Knight to keep him from dodging.
Zombie Shadow Knight: You'll never get away with this Rangers!
The blast nails him in the upper part of his back. He howls in pain as sparks fly out from all parts of his body. The sparks knock the other Rangers off of him. He falls to the ground screaming.
Act 4
Scene 1
Setting: The battle. Zombie Shadow Knight is laying motionless. The Rangers regroup.
Tai: I think we got him!
Kara: He doesn't look like he's going anywhere anytime soon.
They hear a mumbled laughter coming from Zombie Shadow Knights direction.
Victor: I have a bad feeling this isn't over yet.
Zombie Shadow Knight, still laying face down on the ground, lifts his hands and fires a massive blast of energy at the Rangers. There is an explosion that sends all of them flying in different directions. The monster slowly begins to get up.
Zombie Shadow Knight: That was a cheap shot Rangers. Now it's my turn.
The Rangers struggle to their feet. Before they can get up the other zombies arrive and grab the Rangers.
Zombie Shadow Knight: Now you are the ones who can't get away. Let's see how well you can withstand my Zombie Fist!
He calmly walks over to Victor.
Zombie Shadow Knight: You're first Fire Ranger.
He pulls his fist back. It begins to glow. He then thrusts it into Victor's chest. Sparks erupt all over Victor. He screems in pain. The procedure repeats for all the other Rangers. Zombie Shadow Knight gives an order for the Rangers to be let go.
Zombie Shadow Knight: Now let them go and we'll see how much fight they have left in them.
The zombies release the Rangers. They all just fall.
Zombie Shadow Knight: I really expected more out of you Rangers.
Scene 2
Setting: The Moon Palace. Gridster watches on in pleasure.
Gridster: I think it's time to finish this.
Gridster: Grid powers, strengthen him.
Scene 3
Setting: The battle. A portal opens in the sky. The monster is taken into it. There is a flash of light as the portal closes. He then reappears as a giant.
Zombie Shadow Knight: Wow. Now I can crush this whole city.
Victor: We....have to....stop him.
Tai: I think I can call my zord.
The others begin to get up. Tai and Victor also get up.
Joe: We're ready.
Victor: Then let's do this.
All Rangers: TIME JETS, ONLINE!
Scene 4
Setting: A holding bay under the city. The street above opens. The floor tilts up and aligns with the opening, forming a runway. The Time Jets engine's fire up. After building up pressure for a few seconds the jets launch out of the bay. The Rangers teleport to the cockpits. The Gold Jet stays behind.
Joe: Anyone have a good plan?
Tai: I don't think we can form the Megazord without Max, can we?
Victor: We can, but it'll be weaker without his zord acting as armor.
Karen: We have no choice.
Kara: We should try to do this without the Megazord then.
Victor: I agree. Spread out and take this guy out.
The Orange and White Jets fly straight up. They swoop back down towards the monsters head.
Victor: Fire!
The Orange and White Jets both open fire with their guns. Zombie Shadow Knight is not bothered much by the attack, but he looks up anyway.
Zombie Shadow Knight: That's annoying! Quit it!
Kara: Well we know the guns won't work.
Joe: We're gonna try the missles.
The Black, Blue, and Purple Jets fly in from behind the monster and fire their missles. The missles strike but do little damage.
Zombie Shadow Knight: If that's all you've got without the Gold Ranger then you have a serious problem.
Victor: We have no choice guys. We need the Megazord.
All Rangers: TIME JET MEGAZORD POWER, NOW!
The Orange Time Jet starts to fly in a formation. The Blue and Black Jets fly on it's left and right with the wings almost touching. The White and Purple Jets turn and fly backwards, lining up with the tail section of the Orange Jet. The Orange Jet transforms it's wings and tail fins into slots to hook arms and legs. The White and Purple jets fold their wings up and attach to the Orange Jet. Blue and Black do the same. The Blue and Black jets bend to form arms. The White and Purple Jets bend to form feet. The Orange cockpit swings down revealing a head. The Megazord turns upright and lands.
Tai: I hope this thing works ok without the Gold Jet.
Victor: It should, but I don't know for sure.
Zombie Shadow Knight: So you can form that giant tin can without your friend. It makes no difference though. I'll still crush you.
He charges at the Megazord. He grabs its arms as it tries to block. He then knees the Megazord right where the Gold Jet should be. Sparks fly.
Joe: If he does that again, we're dead. The Megazord can't take it.
Karen: We need that Gold Jet, even if Max has no power.
Victor activates his communicator.
Victor: Zordon, can you hear me?
Zordon's Voice: Yes I can.
Victor: Is there any way you can get Max's zord up and running? We need it badly.
Zordon's Voice: I think I can energize it with my own power. It will only work this one time though.
Victor: We'll have to do it. Otherwise we can't win this.
Zordon's Voice: It's on it's way.
Victor: Thanks.
He deactivates the communicator.
Tai: We have to break free so we can join up with it.
Kara: Leave that to me.
She presses a button. The Megazord's arms start to pull out to the sides. This strains the monster's grip on them. She presses a series of buttons. The guns from all the Jets fire at Zombie Shadow Knight. In surprise he lets the Megazord go.
Tai: Good job girl!
Kara: You don't mess with me.
Victor: Let's break apart and form this thing right.
The Megazord breaks back into the individual Time Jets. The Orange Time Jet starts to fly in a formation. The Blue and Black Jets fly on it's left and right with the wings almost touching. The White and Purple Jets turn and fly backwards, lining up with the tail section of the Orange Jet. The Gold Jet flys a few dozen feet above the Orange Jet. The Orange Jet transforms it's wings and tail fins into slots to hook arms and legs. The White and Purple jets fold their wings up and attach to the Orange Jet. Blue and Black do the same. The Blue and Black jets bend to form arms. The White and Purple Jets bend to form feet. The Gold Jet lands on top of the Orange Jet to finish forming the body. The Orange cockpit swings down revealing a head. The Megazord turns upright and lands.
Zombie Shadow Knight: The Gold Zord! But how?
Joe: We have lot's of friends willing to help us.
Victor: Let's finish this. MEGA MISSLE!
The Megazord lifts it arms. They charge up and fire a blast that looks like 2 missles. The missles strike the monster. He falls to the ground and explodes.
Tai: Finally.
Karen: Look!
On a monitor in the cockpit is an image of the zombies turning back into normal people.
Joe: We did it.
Victor: Let's get outta here before the Gridster Ragners do their thing. We don't want to interfere with the battle.
Kara: Right.
The Rangers and the Megazord teleport away.
Act 5
Scene 1
Setting: The Moon Palace in 3000.
Gridster: They defeated another monster. Sending them to the past has only helped them. No matter. Without their precious Gold Power they can't return here. I'll just take over this time.
A large group of Destroyers teleports to Silver Hills.
Scene 2
Setting: 1996. The Power Chamber. A transmission comes in from Captain Logan.
Logan: Rangers, can you hear me?
Victor: Yeah, what's going on?
Logan: Gridster has resumed attacking in this time.
Joe: We have a problem.
Logan: I know. With the Gold Power gone it's risky to try to come back.
Max: I'm willing to try.
Tai: Me too. We were hired to save the world. No matter how dangerous it gets.
Victor: Then it's settled. We'll leave immediatly for 3000.
Logan: Good luck Rangers. I hope to see you back here soon.
The transmission ends.
Zordon: I'm very proud of all of you. You are willing to face any risk to fullfill your duties as Rangers.
Karen: We'll miss you Zordon.
Zordon: I will miss all of you too.
Victor: Come on guys. I think we should get going.
All Rangers: Goodbye Zordon.
Zordon: Goodbye Rangers.
The Rangers walk out of the Power Chamber and call the Time Jets.
The End
