Tommy Arrives at the Youth Center, only to find the place empty. He was teleported by Alpha 5 to the Command Center, and was told the situation going on. Zordon offers Tommy his Energy to convert it for Powers. Tommy accepts, and morphs into the Green Ranger, once again. He Battles Goldar and a group of Putties, and takes Control of the Dragonzord after he gets the Dragon Dagger. He battled against Giant Scorpina and Goldar, but he had to take the Power Coins quickly before his power runs out. He colapses, and the Rangers took the Power Coins, once Zordon Faded. They called on the power of their Dinosaurs to recharge Zordon, and they took on the Dramole monster. Dramole cause some sort of fog which would hypnotize the Rangers. Only Kimberly managed not to be hypnotized. Tommy Recovers, and saves the Rangers, so he can join them in battle. Rita made Dramole grow, so the Rangers summoned the Dragonzord, and the Megazord. They combined it along with Titanus to form the Ultrazord. The parents are free, and Tommy stays as the Green Ranger, with limited Power capacity. Later, at the Youth Center, there is some sort of reunion with the Parents, and Rangers. Bulk & Skull start a Food Fight and everyone is in on it, even Mr. Kaplan and Mrs. Applebee. The Rangers managed to escape the food fight and laugh while watching it.
