Sarah arrives at [[Summer Cove High School|Summer Cove High]], bumping on [[Mick Kanic|Mick]] because of herself laden with equipment for club meetings. Mick remarks that the rumors about Sarah are true, that she signed up for four clubs. Sarah replies that this'll look good for a future college application. Mick questions on how she will be in four places at once since the club's meetings occur at the same time. Sarah did not reply to Mick clearly, remarking "It's for me to know...and for you to find out!"

Sarah arrives at [[Summer Cove High School|Summer Cove High]], bumping into [[Mick Kanic|Mick]] because of herself laden with equipment for club meetings. Mick remarks that the rumors about Sarah are true, she actually signed up for 4 different clubs. Sarah replies that this'll look good for a future college application. Mick questions on how she will be in 4 places at once since the club meetings occur at the same time. Sarah doesn't reply to Mick clearly, remarking "It's for me to know... and for you to find out," and runs off excitedly.
   
In all the clubs she attended, she excelled in all of them; outrunning [[Brody Romero|Brody]] on track and field; beating [[Preston Tien|Preston]] at chess; finishing a tent earlier than [[Calvin Maxwell|Calvin]] and [[Hayley Foster|Hayley]]; and beating [[Victor Vincent|Victor]]'s record on the Archery Club. During ranger training, the team is attacked by Kudabots and today's contestant, Hacktrack. Midway through the fight, Sarah vanishes, leaving behind a small grey sphere that Hacktrack absorbs.

During ranger training, Sarah programs a new Ninja Laser called Whiplash into their Ninja Blasters. Calvin and Hayley are curious about Sarah's timing since they claim she was at Camping Club with them. Preston and Brody deny as they also state that Sarah was with them individually: Preston in Chess Club, and Brody in Track Club. Before Sarah can explain about her invention, the team is attacked by [[Kudabots]] and today's contestant, [[Hacktrack]]. Midway through the fight, Sarah disappears, leaving behind a small grey sphere that Hacktrack absorbs.
   
Realizing she needs to explain herself, Sarah reveals she created a holographic machine to implicate clones of herself, which allowed her to go to the distinct clubs. Much to the rangers' horror, [[Hacktrack]] has upgraded her tech. Using it, [[Hacktrack]] can create 8 gigantic clones of [[Galvanax]] while the real one stays on the Warrior Dome.

Back at the base when the Rangers run to Mick about Sarah's disappearance, Mick points to the real Sarah who has been behind the computer. Realizing she needs to explain herself as she almost gave the Rangers a heart attack, Sarah reveals that wasn't really her at training. She created a holoprojector: a holographic machine to implicate clones of herself, which allowed her to go to 4 distinct clubs simultaneously. Much to the rangers' horror, [[Hacktrack]] has upgraded her tech. Using it, [[Hacktrack]] can create 8 gigantic clones of [[Galvanax]] while the real one stays on the Warrior Dome.
   
With Sarah distressing over this, she decides to use her four clones in the job of getting the tech back, while the other rangers fight the copies. Unfortunately, Sarah's plan backfires, as all the clones distract her all at once. Suddenly, Mick appears, playing four instruments at the same time. Mick asks for her help, but Sarah told him that she can't, and he should only play one instrument at a time. Finally it dawned to her that Mick reminded her of what was she doing. She decides to solve the problem with only one Sarah and turns off her four clones. Sarah creates another device and allows Hacktrack to absorb it, as it starts to damage the monster. Sarah reveals this gizmo has a computer virus in it, which severs Galvanax's connection, dispelling the clones. The rangers make quick work of Hacktrack with the various modes on the element stars. The crowd loved Hacktrack, allowing him to be Gigantified. The rangers follow him to the moon, courtesy of the new [[Astro Zord]] and the Astro Ninja Steel Megazord. Using the cosmic blast, Hacktrack's moon walk is ended.

Icon-ninningerThis article is about a/an episode in Power Rangers Ninja Steel.


Hack Attack is the seventh episode of Power Rangers Ninja Steel. It is the beginning of the six-episode story arc that features the full appearance of the Gold Ranger. It also features the debut of the Astro Zord and the Astro Ninja Steel Megazord.

Synopsis

Determined to take part in as many schools activities as she can, Sarah builds a device that allows her to clone herself, but the plan backfires when Hacktrack steals the technology for himself!

Plot

Sarah arrives at Summer Cove High, bumping into Mick because of herself laden with equipment for club meetings. Mick remarks that the rumors about Sarah are true, she actually signed up for 4 different clubs. Sarah replies that this'll look good for a future college application. Mick questions on how she will be in 4 places at once since the club meetings occur at the same time. Sarah doesn't reply to Mick clearly, remarking "It's for me to know... and for you to find out," and runs off excitedly.

In all the clubs she attended, she excelled in all of them; outrunning Brody on track and field; beating Preston at chess; finishing a tent earlier than Calvin and Hayley; and beating Victor's record on the Archery Club. During ranger training, Sarah programs a new Ninja Laser called Whiplash into their Ninja Blasters. Calvin and Hayley are curious about Sarah's timing since they claim she was at Camping Club with them. Preston and Brody deny as they also state that Sarah was with them individually: Preston in Chess Club, and Brody in Track Club. Before Sarah can explain about her invention, the team is attacked by Kudabots and today's contestant, Hacktrack. Midway through the fight, Sarah disappears, leaving behind a small grey sphere that Hacktrack absorbs.

Back at the base when the Rangers run to Mick about Sarah's disappearance, Mick points to the real Sarah who has been behind the computer. Realizing she needs to explain herself as she almost gave the Rangers a heart attack, Sarah reveals that wasn't really her at training. She created a holoprojector: a holographic machine to implicate clones of herself, which allowed her to go to 4 distinct clubs simultaneously. Much to the rangers' horror, Hacktrack has upgraded her tech. Using it, Hacktrack can create 8 gigantic clones of Galvanax while the real one stays on the Warrior Dome.

With Sarah distressing over this, she decides to use her 4 clones in the job of getting the tech back, while the other rangers fight the copies. Unfortunately, Sarah's plan backfires as all 4 clones distract her since they need her help all at once. Suddenly, Mick appears playing 4 instruments at the same time. Mick asks for her help, but Sarah tells him that she can't and he should only play 1 instrument at a time. Finally, it dawns to her that Mick reminds her of what she's doing. She decides to solve the problem with her real self and turns off her 4 clones. Sarah creates another device and allows Hacktrack to absorb it, as it starts to damage the monster. Sarah reveals this gizmo has a computer virus in it, which severs Galvanax's connection, dispelling the clones. The rangers make quick work of Hacktrack with the various modes on the element stars. The crowd loved Hacktrack, allowing him to be Gigantified. The rangers follow him to the moon, courtesy of the new Astro Zord and the Astro Ninja Steel Megazord. Using the cosmic blast, Hacktrack's moon walk is ended.

Sarah tells Principal Hastings that she's quitting her clubs having learned her lesson, just as Monty breaks the Archery Record, courtesy of Victor's newest scheme. However the rangers rush to the base, as Mick informs them the Astro Zord has taken off by itself, targeting the warrior dome. The Zord blasts a hole in the side of the ship, freeing Odious's prisoner, just as Ripcon shows up to see the damages. As the Astro Zord lands, its passenger is none other than the Gold Ranger.
