Synopsis[]
Billy creates a device that will restore the Ranger kids to normal, but Lord Zedd has it and the Power Coins destroyed. Meanwhile, the Alien Rangers reveal themselves to the world.
Plot[]
In the Command Center, Billy and the Alien Rangers are hard at work on a special machine that will restore the Ranger kids to their normal ages. However, Billy needs to get to school and tells the Alien Rangers to stay in the Command Center until he gets back, as he feels that their alien appearances wouldn't sit well with Earth's people. In the Moon Palace, Lord Zedd forms a new plan to remove both Earth's and Aquitar's Power Rangers at once.
As school lets out for the day, Billy and Adam head off to Billy's house, while the other Ranger kids ride home with Bulk and Skull, both of them armed with water balloons. The bus ride suddenly hits a bump when Rito Revolto and Goldar climb aboard and try to get the Power Coins from the kids, but the water balloons prove effective in fending them off. Zedd and Rita send the duo back down to keep watch on Billy as his project nears completion.
At Billy's house, Billy and Adam finish work on the Regenerator, which Billy hopes will restore the Ranger kids to normal once the Power Coins are inserted into it. As Billy and Adam leave, Rito suggests to Goldar that they follow them. Goldar halts Rito and reminds him that they have to report back to Lord Zedd, but Rito presses on that they follow Billy and Adam and grab the Power Coins when all six Rangers are together. As Billy and Adam walk down the sidewalk, they feel like they're being followed. Soon they meet up with the other Rangers, who along with Adam hand Billy their Power Coins. Billy says that on its lowest setting, the Regenerator should rearrange their molecular structure and turn them back to normal. As Billy inserts the coins, Rito and Goldar appear. Rocky tells Billy to hurry as he and the others prepare to defend themselves. Billy tests the machine on himself, and it works, but Rito and Goldar chase after him and the other Rangers. Soon, they appear in front of the Rangers and Goldar steals the machine. Billy attempts to take it back, but Rito blasts him into a wall using his eye sockets. As the young Rangers check on Billy, Goldar removes the Power Coins from the machine. Zedd and Rita arrive, with Zedd commending Rito for succeeding, and turn the Power Coins into dust. Rita and Zedd head back to the Moon and Rito and Goldar follow them after Rito tosses the Regenerator aside, causing it to break upon hitting the ground. Back in the Command Center, the Alien Rangers are getting weak from dehydration and are forced to leave to find water. The closest source of water is the fountain in the center of town, which causes a panic with the local citizens as the Alien Rangers teleport in and absorb the water.
On the moon, Rita looks through her Repulsascope and views the Aquitians rehydrating in the town square fountain, which she comments on. Zedd sits on his throne, delighted that the Aquitian Rangers are alone in the center of town and the Power Coins have been destroyed. When he asks what more could they ask for, Rito suggests a monster attack, which Zedd agrees with and turns the Regenerator into the monster Slotsky. Billy and the Ranger kids are teleported away just in time. At the Command Center, the six learn of the Aquitian Rangers' situation and Billy goes to alert them. Slotsky makes his appearance just as Billy is calling to them and the monster summons the Tenga Warriors to destroy them. Fully hydrated, the Alien Rangers morph and fight back to rousing applause from the public. When Zedd and Rita make their monster grow, the Alien Rangers summon their Battle Borgs and destroy him.
The Alien Rangers are given the highest honors as Angel Grove celebrates their bravery. Billy is relieved that the Alien Rangers can be in public, but the Power Coins are gone forever, the other five of his own teammates are still stuck as children, and the Alien Rangers can't stay indefinitely. Billy realizes that things are only going to get worse, much worse.
