Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue, Episode 30
Original Airdate: 11-7-2000
Last Time: A little girl hung around with the Power Rangers and was made an honorary member of the team. Oh, and a few of the Galaxy Rangers showed up briefly.
In the ziggurat o' heels, Olympius uses a bat he had planted in Trakeena's lab to prove that Trakeena had no intention of working with the demons. Olympius decides to get some vengeance on Trakeena with some poison. Meanwhile, on Mirinoi, Kendrix and Damon decide that they ought to head to Earth as well.
Back in Mariner Bay, Carter asks himself what Zordon would do in this situation. He remembers the 45th precept of the late giant head, "And lo, the fanbase did grow too haughty in their demands for continuity, and so did I lay them low with the creature known only as Justin, a moppet of questionable acting skills that did drive to madness those who would complain. And I say unto you, my son, that if thou should find thyself in a plot of impossible construction, then thou too must produce a being of such odious presence that it will befuddle the senses and disrupt reason of all who look upon that child." Therefore, Carter is honorbound to send the little girl into the evil office building to pull a fire alarm. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. How does that make any sense. I mean, first of all, if nothing else, Carter could pull the alarm instead of sending in the girl, and, either way, this seems like a rather stupid-Fine, let's just go with it.
The little girl walks up to the fire alarm and pulls it after looking out the glass door and seeing Carter give her a thumbs-up. This evacuates the building and allows the Rangers a chance to infiltrate the structure disguised as firefighters. Carter and Leo head off to fight the monster again. Carter kills the monster by punching it really hard in the gut. They then break into the lab and find the shrunken people, and then fight some more cloaked guys. Wait a minute guys, are you sure you don't want to cut to the little girl? Anyway, Kendrix and Damon show up to finally do something. Trakeena emerges from the back of the lab and fights off the Rangers, knocking them out of the skyscraper they were in. But Chad, spoilsport that he is, uses an inflatable cushion to save the four Rangers.
Olympius shows up to threaten the assembled Rangers and sends in some Batlings. Well, fuck, if the Batlings couldn't handle five Rangers, they sure as hell can't deal with ten. Trakeena uses this opportunity to start morphing into a more powerful form. Olympius, meanwhile, decides to just let the Rangers and Trakeena blow each other up, and leaves, but not before poisoning Trakeena.
The poison turns Trakeena into some sort of new monster that is already giant-sized. The Lightspeed Rangers call out the Omega Megazord and the Max Solarzord. They get the crap kicked out of them. The Galaxy Rangers want to help, but the Galactabeasts are stuck on Mirinoi, so they can't. Then the Galactabeasts show up, because, well, if everyone else can make it to Earth without explanation, why not them? They bring out the Galaxy Megazord, and each megazord uses its ultimate attack on Trakeena. That doesn't work and the Galaxy Megazord gets blown apart and the Galaxy Rangers ejected. Carter grabs the prone Rangers with the Omega Megazord and this somehow gives that megazord the whole Lights of Orion power. That proves to be enough and Trakeena gets killed for good.
Later, the Rangers take the little girl back to her parents, because I know everyone needed closure on that subplot. Joel decides to focus on the task at hand and tries to hit on Kendrix and Maya. He fails. Kai gets his one line of the crossover and then the Galaxy Rangers decide to head home. Show Over!
Next Time: The little girl has to deal with a bully at school and only the Lightspeed Rangers can help. Features a ten-second cameo by Adam.
