Synopsis[]
The Rangers receive a strange message from outer space warning of an impending threat.
Plot[]
A few days ago, a strange message from space was sent to Grid Battleforce, and Nate has finally decoded it for everyone to hear. When the message plays, it gives a warning to the Rangers about a dangerous alien criminal by the name of "Ryjack", who is coming to Earth to steal weapons from the Ranger Vault. With this warning, Commander Shaw wants the Ranger Vault to be extra guarded, a task Ben and Betty volunteer to help with. Then, the group is alerted about an unknown being in stealing Morph-X from Sector Delta 7-9, with the sensors reading as alien bio-signs. Realizing that it could by Ryjack, the Rangers go out and see a silver warrior taking Morph-X and putting into a strange device. They confront the warrior and stop it from touching the device by firing at it. Before Devon has the chance to grab the silver warrior, it teleports away, leaving behind the device, which the Rangers take with them back to base.
In the Crystal Dimension, Evox is hooked up to his Morph-X pump station and tells Scrozzle he needs more Morph-X to recover from Mayor Daniels' human DNA damaging his body, but Scrozzle has bad news; they are all out of Morph-X, meaning that they can't teleport out of the Crystal Dimension. Suddenly, a blue rhino alien teleports in and Scrozzle has the Tronics surround him before Evox demands to know who he is. The blue rhino alien introduces himself as Ryjack, a collector of powerful artifacts and weapons who has come to Earth to steal the Legendary Ranger weapons and technology from the Ranger Vault. Since Ryjack does not know where the Vault is in Grid Battleforce, he came to Evox to help him find it, promising to split the reward with him. Evox says that he does know where the Vault is, but he wants Ryjack’s help in destroying the Rangers and stealing Morph-X for them as well. Evox warns Ryjack that if he fails, then he'll end up destroyed and pulls out a blaster. Ryjack thens reveals that he has a special device called a Reanimizer, that can revive a fallen warrior into a robotic clone just as long as an object of the deceased is still around. He uses it on the blaster, which revives its owner, Vargoyle with a new gold paint job, shocking Scrozzle. Vargoyle has a strange collar around his neck that he tries to remove, but Ryjack orders him to stop struggling, which he does. The device is called a Compliance Collar, which forces Vargoyle to do Ryjack's bidding without question. The alien promises Evox that they'll destroy the Rangers for him. After Ryjack and Vargoyle teleport away, Evox tells Scrozzle that when the alien succeeds, that they will double-cross him and claim his collection for themselves.
Back at Grid Battleforce, Ben and Betty have set up a marble trap in the lab, to protect the Ranger Vault from Ryjack. They hide and wait for him to show up, but start to get tired. However, Betty wants a snack and Ben needs to use to the bathroom, so the two try to sneak out and avoid their tripwires, only for Ben to sneeze and set them off. The two end up rolling on the marbles before they slip and fall down, hurting themselves in the process. Devon, Ravi, and Zoey arrive and see that the Burke siblings' trap worked a little too well, and take them to medical to get looked at. Unbeknownst to everyone, the silver warrior secretly teleports into the lab. After Ben and Betty leave medical with Devon, Ravi, and Zoey, Nate and Steel arrive and inform them that the silent alarm in the Ranger Vault was just tripped, so they rush back to the lab. The silver warrior retrieves its device from the Vault and tries to leave, only for Devon use his cheetah speed to restrain him along with Ravi, and take the device away from it. Afterwards, Commander Shaw tells the Rangers that they detected more alien bio-signs in the city, and leave to go investigate while the Beast Bots take the silver warrior to detention.
Ryjack and Vargoyle are stealing Morph-X barrels for Evox, when the Rangers arrive and confront them. They are shocked to see that Vargoyle is back, as Ryjack shows that he is under his contorl thanks to the Compliance Collar. Ryjack introduces himself to the Rangers, making them wonder who the silver warrior they caught was, and he decides to fight them. Using his Reanimizer, Ryjack revives a squad of Putty Patrollers and Vivix to fight against the Rangers, who are surprised by them. They try their best to fight the revived foot soldiers unmorphed, but they are a lot tougher than Tronics. Ryjack points out that the Putties and Vivix fought Rangers in the past, specifically the Mighty Morphin and Dino Charge Rangers. Eventually, the Rangers morph to continue the fight, with Devon, Nate, and Steel fighting the Putties and Vivix while Ravi and Zoey take on Ryjack. The duo use their Beast Powers to knock Ryjack done, but the alien decides to show them his power and fires a lightning blast from his horn at the two Rangers. While fighting Vargoyle with Nate and Steel, Devon sees Ravi and Zoey hurt and goes to check on them. Nate and Steel fire a Striker Beast Blast at Ryjack, only for Vargoyle to take the hit instead. The two villains teleport back to the Crystal Dimension while the other Rangers take their injured teammates back to base.
Back at Grid Battleforce, Nate and Steel put isolation shields over Ravi and Zoey, who discovers that whatever Ryjack blasted them with, has caused an alien infection, and it is getting worse by the minute. Devon wonders if the silver warrior they captured might know more about Ryjack, but Nate doubts it, recalling that the alien was stealing Morph-X to power his device in the first place. Regardless, Commander Shaw allows the Rangers to question the silver warrior. They open his holding cell, only to find him on the ground due to illness. In a garbled voice, the silver warrior asks for the device Steel is holding, and Devon hesitatingly gives it back to the warrior. The silver warrior uses the device to recharge itself. It then changing its systems to make itself capable of speaking proper English and introduces himself as Captain Chaku of the G5 Galaxy Police Force, meaning he's on their side. Chaku explains the G5 Galaxy Force hunt down criminals all across the universe, where the Rangers introduce themselves to him as well and apologize to Chaku for imprisoning him as they've been on edge since they received the warning about Ryjack. He has traveled across seven different galaxies looking for Ryjack, but lost him on Earth when he ran of power, so he used the Morph-X to refuel himself. His goal is to destroy Ryjack for good and stop his trail of theft and destruction. Now knowing that Chaku is on their side, Steel tells Chaku that Ryjack attacked Ravi and Zoey, where he asks if they were hit by a blast from his horn, which Devon confirms. Knowing that they're in danger, the Rangers take Chaku to Ravi and Zoey immediately. Chaku scans Ravi and Zoey, and knows that the effects from Ryjack's Horn Shock can be devastating, and administers a mist-like cure that should hopefully heal them.
Back in the Crystal Dimension, a disgruntled Scrozzle is dumping Morph-X into his large canister while he also revives the Robo-Generals. They ask Scrozzle to catch them up on what they missed, where he informs them that an intergalactic alien criminal is working with them and that Vargoyle has been resurrected, which shocks them that they've been out for so long. Evox is impressed that Ryjack has taken down two of the Rangers, first mission not bad, but the latter demands to know more about the Grid Battleforce building. Evox promises to Ryjack that he will tell him all he knows, but first, he instructs him to send Vargoyle to attack the remaining Rangers and orders Scrozzle to send in a Gigadrone to steal Morph-X from a Tower, which he does. Ryjack passes the order onto Vargoyle, which he complies to and teleports away.
At Grid Battleforce, Nate informs the Commander that the cure that Captain Chaku used on Ravi and Zoey is working and their conditions are improving. Commander Shaw thanks Chaku for his help and expresses her gratitude, with the Captain saying he's honored to serve the greater good. The command room informs Commander that Vargoyle has reappeared in the city and a Gigadrone is incoming. She sends Nate and Steel to deploys in their Zords while Devon goes after Vargoyle, with Chaku tagging along. Nate and Steel arrive in their Zords with Nate changing the Wrecker Zord into its Battle Mode, just as the Gamma Gigadrone teleports into Coral Harbor. The Gigadrone fires at Nate, but the latter strikes back with a Crane Crash, hitting it multiple times.
Meanwhile, a morphed Devon and Captain Chaku find Vargoyle waiting for them with a squad of Tronics. Devon takes on Vargoyle while Chaku deals with the Tronics. During the fight, Devon knocks off Vargoyle’s Compliance Collar with his Beast-X Saber. Now free from Ryjack’s control, Vargoyle tries to teleport away, only to find out that he does not have enough Morph-X in his teleporter to do so. Devon tries to get him, but a Tronic blocks him while Vargoyle steals a dirt bike and rides away. Chaku and Devon take out the rest of the Tronics. Back at the Megazord fight, Nate and the Gigadrone are engaged in a shootout until Steel and the Jet Zord fire at the Gigadrone.
Commander Shaw tells Devon and Chaku that Vargoyle is heading to a Morph-X Tower in the South Woods, so the two ride off on Cruise and the Galactic Interceptor to stop him. The two heroes confront Vargoyle near the area and battle on their bikes, ending with Chaku leaping onto Vargoyle. Now on foot, Vargoyle takes on Devon and Chaku, but is overpowered by the two heroes. Afterwards, Devon and Chaku attack with their combined Beast-X Slash and Enforcer Strike attacks, destroying Vargoyle once again. Meanwhile, Nate and Steel form the Striker Megazord and destroy the Gigadrone with the Striker Hyper Blast.
The Rangers return to base and see that Ravi and Zoey have recovered from Ryjack’s Horn Shock, and they learn the truth about Captain Chaku. They thank Chaku for his help and apologize for making the wrong impression of him, along with locking him up. Chaku accepts their apologies and plans to stay on Earth to ensure that Ryjack is destroyed for good as he's the last of a notorious gang of intergalactic criminals he has to stop. Then, Ben and Betty announce their new intruder sensor for the Ranger Vault so it will attack anybody who does not wear a security card. Unfortunately, the others do not have a security card, and it attacks Commander Shaw, Chaku, and the Rangers, tying them up. However, Commander Shaw is impressed with the siblings' good work on their security system, with everyone in the room laughing.
