Power Rangers: Once and Always (Alternate version)

Planning

Zack: It all happened so fast. That machine that Robo Rita's building, what does it do ?

Billy: Honestly ? Something that uses our power made by Rita Repulsa ? That's a bad mix. And if we don't put a stop to it, I... I don't think they're gonna make it.

Minh: Then we gotta destroy her.

Zack, Billy, and J.J. turn to look at Minh.

J.J. : What ?

Billy: "We" ?

Minh: Yeah.

This is Ranger business, not "teenage kids that have homework due" business, okay ?

Minh: Wh--? She killed Mom. J.J.'s Dad. This is personal for both of us. You know how hard--

Zack: What you don't understand is--

Minh: Let me finish! If Mom could do it, so can I. If J.J.'s Dad could do it, so can he. This is the legacy of our parents. Me and J.J. can help.

Billy: Minh, I'm really sorry, but you can't. You and J.J. are not Rangers.

Zack: Those monsters would overpower you and J.J. in a second.

Billy: We can't risk losing you and J.J. too. Look, the best thing that you guys can do for everyone is to stay out of trouble and let us sort this out.

Minh: Says the guys who caused all this. We all know that if it wasn't for you, my mom and J.J.'s dad would still be here.

Billy looks down.

Minh: Oh. That stung, huh ?

Billy doesn't respond.

Minh: Good.

J.J. : Minh, how could say all of that ?!

Minh: You know I'm right J.J., it's his fault.

Minh walks back inside the house.

J.J. : Don't listen to her, Uncle Billy, I know it wasn't your fault.

Billy: Thanks J.J. Let's get to Cranston Tech. It has the scanners we need.

Zack: Let's go. J.J., stay with Minh, look after her.

J.J. : Yes sir.

Meanwhile at the Handles Palace on the Moon.

Robo Rita: Drip by drip, their delicious Ranger powers ebb away. Let's see how much I've stolen from them.

Robo Rita checks her machine and she sees that it's not at full power.

Robo Rita: How disappointing. This process is too slow. We need as many Rangers as we can get.

Snizzard: I should round up the lambs for slaughter.

Minotaur: Not unless we can find them. If we can get them to morph, then it'll be my time to shine.

Robo Rita: Good thing I know exactly draws out a Power Ranger.

Meanwhile at Cranston Technologies

Alpha 9: No T-Rex, no Pterodactyl. Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay. We'll have to scan for something else if we want to find our friends.

Zack: Thanks, Alpha 9.

Alpha 9: Oh, greetings, Zack.

Zack: If the people upstairs only knew they had the world's smartest robot right beneath their feet.

Alpha 9: Still such a charmer. It's good to see you again. Been a while. I guess life is busy when you're raising a teenager with attitude.

Zack: Oh, Minh definitely has attitude. Right, Billy ? You all good ?
