Synopsis[]

Aiyon, the new Gold Ranger, reveals the dark truth about Zayto’s past and the Dino Fury Rangers learn what makes a true leader…

Plot[]

After the events of the previous episode, the Dino Fury Gold Ranger teleports to Dinohenge to discover that the monument has remained intact after 65 million years before going over to the Mosa Statue, and wonders if he had missed anything important prior to his awakening. Meanwhile, inside the base, Zayto is having Amelia, Izzy, and Javi do training exercises, while Ollie is making himself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Solon alerts them that they have a visitor, where the Gold Ranger then teleports into the underground chamber and demorphs, revealing his identity as Aiyon, another Rafkonian. He then greets Zayto, who greets Aiyon in return before reuniting with Solon, happy to see each other after 65 million years. Aiyon then introduces himself to the modern day Dino Fury Rangers, where Amelia correctly deduces that he's a Knight of Rafkon like Zayto, and then takes and eats Ollie's sandwich, which he enjoys.

Zayto then proceeds to question Aiyon about his unexpected survival, as he thought Aiyon perished with the other Rafkon Rangers during the Great Sporix Wars. In response, Aiyon shows Zayto his memories, starting from the original Dino Fury Rangers' final battle against the Sporix in the past, where they used the Primal Ultrazord's Primal Extreme Blast to obliterate the Sporix, but the power was too much and destabilized the formation. Zayto told everyone to eject, where he and Aiyon were the only ones who managed to do so before the Ultrazord exploded, taking the lives of the other Rafkon Rangers in the process. While Zayto's pod safely ejected, Aiyon's was hit by the Ultrazord's explosion, which caused his pod to veer off-course and crash-land into the sea, where he slept at the bottom of the ocean for eons. During his slumber, the Green Morphin Master appeared before him to inform him of a prophecy that he would be needed to prevent Lord Zedd from reigning again. Ollie concludes that the Ninja Nexus Prism came back to Earth not to look for something, but someone instead, which he guesses was Aiyon. He remembers how the Prism dove down into Pine Ridge Bay, where it found Aiyon's stasis pod, scanned it, and then left Earth to tell the Morphin Masters where he was. Javi surmises that the Morphin Masters must have woke Aiyon up after Lord Zedd escaped.

A little confused, Aiyon asks the others to fill him in on who Lord Zedd and the Nexus Prism are, but then questions the others if they know about the location of his Zord, the Mosa Razor Zord. Solon responds that they haven't found it and apologizes to Aiyon. Izzy tries to lighten up the mood, stating that they at least got another Ranger on the team. Aiyon says that he would love to be on the team, but on the condition that he leads the Rangers, confusing the others. The others then ask why Aiyon wants to lead the team, where he realizes that Zayto hasn't told them the full truth about the Sporix Beasts. He then states that Zayto is not the leader they thought he was and reveals his and Zayto's past as fellow Knights of Rafkon.

65 million years ago, Zayto and Aiyon were best friends and proud knights, fighting to protect Rafkon. However, one day, the council of Rafkon announced that they intended to create the army of Sporix Beasts to counterattack an incoming evil, with Izzy being shocked that it was the Rafkonians who created the evil lifeforms. Aiyon tells her that the Sporix Beasts were supposed to fight alongside the Rafkonians to protect their planet, but he knew their scientists did not perform enough tests on them, and that Zayto could have stopped them, but didn't. The councilwoman asked Zayto for his concerns as he was the leader of the Knights, to which Aiyon told him to prevent the release of the Sporix Beasts before it was too late, but instead of listening to Aiyon, Zayto agreed with the council's decision and allowed them to proceed with their experiment, much to Aiyon's disappointment.

As the Sporix Generator prepared to unleash the Sporix Beasts, Aiyon decided to make a move and intended to destroy the Generator before the process was complete. Zayto immediately prevented Aiyon from interfering, with the latter saying this was a mistake. During the two knights' scuffle, the Sporix Generator finished the process and unleashed the Sporix Beasts on Rafkon, who destroyed the planet in the process, thus ending Zayto and Aiyon's friendship. After hearing the story, a ticked off Amelia lashes out at Zayto for withholding this information from them the whole time they've been Rangers, as he could have stopped the Sporix Beasts from ever existing. However, the discussion is cut short when Solon detects a Sporix Beast at the port. Zayto tells the Rangers that he knows he owes them answers, that they have to take care of the Sporix Beast before teleporting there with the others, with Aiyon following as well.

They head down to the port to see Mucus attacking civilians with a harpoon blaster, making Zayto confident they can take her. The six Rangers morph and Zayto charges after her, swatting her spears away with his Chromafury Saber. However, one redirected spear hits a fish oil container, making Zayto slip and get pinned down by Mucus. Ollie and Amelia go to help, but they slip on the fish oil puddle as well. Mucus summons the Hengemen and has them go after the Rangers while she reloads. However, Aiyon cuts down an overhanging crate and uses a board to surf through the oil while taking out the Hengemen. Izzy and Javi follow suit as they use the boxes to do the same. As Aiyon knocks Mucus down and prepares to attack her, Slyther and some Hengemen appear with the boat needed for their plans before teleporting away with it. Wondering what they want with a boat, Mucus tells the Rangers that they know where to find Aiyon's Zord now, and plan to destroy it before teleporting away as well, worrying Aiyon.

Back at Dinohenge, Solon checks on Zayto as the others are impressed with Aiyon's skills during the fight. Aiyon uses the fight to prove that Zayto is no longer fit to lead the team as the latter guiltily leaves after seeing no support from the team. Aiyon disregards Zayto's turmoil as his main concern is finding his Zord before the villains do. Ollie recalls that the villains hacked his mom's laptop in a previous battle, and believes that they stole the data from it and found the Zord. As the other Rangers go off to BuzzBlast to look at the data from Ollie's laptop, Zayto thanks Solon for giving him new clothes and for sticking with him despite not telling her the truth. Solon sympathizes with Zayto as owning up to mistakes are not easy, but the latter wonders if he is fit to lead the team any longer. Solon reassures Zayto that it was not entirely his fault as he trusted the council, but the latter admits he should have trusted Aiyon in the first place. Solon tells Zayto that a good leader must know when to stand their ground and to step aside, where he deduces that Solon thinks he should let Aiyon lead the Rangers, but tells him that it's a decision that only he can make.

At Area 62, Mucus and Slyther complete their new robot general using parts from the boat they stole. Void Knight appears from his secret room and pulls out a Sporix Cell from his machine and places it into the new general, planning to use him to find the Mosa Razor Zord and destroy it, where he dubs the new general as Wreckmate while Slyther activates him. Once activated, Wreckmate swears loyalty to Void Knight, and the latter orders him to go to the ocean and destroy the Mosa Razor Zord. Mucus volunteers to take Wreckmate to the ocean, but that they need to make a quick stop before going to destroying the Zord.

At BuzzBlast, the Rangers review the data collected from Ollie's laptop and find the Mosa Razor Zord in its resting place on the ocean floor. Before they can get a fix on where its located, Solon tells them that there's trouble at Beachfront Plaza. Mucus leads Wreckmate and the Hengemen down the Plaza for beach supplies of all things, while the robot wishes to destroy the Mosa Razor Zord. Mucus tries to explain that the beach supplies are "essential supplies" and then notices an ice cream cart. She gives Wreckmate a cone and throws several ice cream flavors onto his cone, exciting him. Suddenly, the Rangers confront them as Aiyon blasts the ice cream cone out of Wreckmate's hand, upsetting the pirate robot. After Mucus hits him with ice cream, Wreckmate blasts her into slime with a powerful energy pulse from his chest. Zayto teleports in, deciding to step aside and let Aiyon lead the team. Aiyon leads the Rangers in the morph and they attack the group of villains. While the rest of the Rangers deal with the Hengemen, Zayto and Aiyon use the Blazing and Electro Dino Keys to activate the Blazing and Electro Battle Armors, and use them to overpower Wreckmate. However, Wreckmate turns the tide on the Rangers by using the Sporix Cell in his chest to grow into a giant and nearly stomps on them.

Aiyon calls for the Zords and the Rangers form the Dino Fury Megazord Warrior Formation. While the Megazord starts to overpower Wreckmate, the latter turns the tide and pushes them into the ocean while he dives down there as well. Wreckmate's powerful attacks pummel the Megazord as it starts to power down due to not being designed for underwater battles, and Zayto fears that the water will shut down their systems. The Rangers turn to Aiyon on what to do, but he clams up as he cannot figure out a solution to their predicament. As Wreckmate continues to attack them, Zayto suggests evacuating the Megazord so they can survive, even at the risk of losing their Zords, which Aiyon agrees to. The Rangers teleport away as Wreckmate forces the Megazord down to the sea floor.

Once the Rangers arrive at the beach, Aiyon ponders what he's done, but Zayto assures him that he did what was necessary to protect the team. Aiyon realizes how difficult being a leader is as he could not handle the judgement from the others, which is what he did to Zayto 65 million years ago, which he now understands. Zayto does not care about that anymore, and tells Aiyon that he's happy he's back on the team and that he missed him. The two become friends again as Izzy notices that Aiyon's Mosa Dino Key is glowing. He realizes that his Mosa Razor Zord has awoken as the latter attacks Wreckmate before he can destroy the Megazord. Aiyon asks Zayto to join him in saving the other Zords as he activates his Zord's Battle Mode. In contrast to the Dino Fury Megazord Warrior Formation, the Mosa Razor Zord deals with Wreckmate a lot better in the underwater environment. Aiyon calls for the Mega Fury Saber, as he and Zayto defeats Wreckmate with the Mosa Razor Zord's Harpoon Strike attack, causing him to explode.

As the Rangers celebrate at Dinohenge, Zayto apologizes to Aiyon for not listening to him years ago. Aiyon admits that Zayto could not have known at the time and made a tough call, which he learned in the fight. Aiyon decides to relinquish his position and tells Zayto to lead the team instead, with everyone okay with it as they have seemingly forgiven Zayto for his previous mistakes. As the former knights do a friendly spar, Ollie wonders how Aiyon's Ranger energy awakened the Mosa Razor Zord. However, Solon knows why: it was because Zayto and Aiyon became best friends again, and the two Rafkonians do their signature handshake.

Cast[]

Dino Fury Keys[]

Dino Fury Keys in Ancient History:

Errors[]

  • During the new intro, the Gold Ranger was mirrored.
  • When meeting Aiyon for the first time, Izzy says that Lord Zedd has been gone for ages; the Rangers fought him a mere two episodes ago. However, it's not been established how much time took place between those episodes.
  • When the Rangers morphed, Aiyon's key still had the screw showing.

Notes[]

  • Total Sporix Beasts Collected:
    • Void Knight: 6
      • Wreckmate: 1 (taken by Void Knight after Wreckmate's assumed destruction)
    • Dino Fury Rangers: 8
  • While the episode does not show confirm Wreckmate's status after the Megazord battle, the next episode "Our Hero" confirms Wreckmate was believed to be destroyed by the Mosa Razor Zord and did not survive so the Sporix used by Void Knight to power him was possible reclaimed but he came back in "The Festival". As the Rangers are not seen retaking Wreckmate's Sporix after his believed destruction, Void Knight or one of his surviving generals is presumed to have taken it back offscreen.
  • This episode debuts a new intro, which features Jordon Fite as Aiyon, the Gold Ranger and the Mosa Razor Zord.
  • It is revealed that the Dino Fury Megazord is not waterproof.
  • Aiyon's morph sequence and roll call is seen for the first time.
  • Aiyon uses the Mega Fury Saber in this episode, making him the third and final Dino Fury Ranger to summon it, besides Zayto and Amelia.
