Race to the Rescue is the third episode of Power Rangers Lost Galaxy. This episode marks the first appearance of the Galactabeasts and Trakeena, the daughter of Scorpius.

Synopsis[]

When Maya hears animals in trouble on a distant planet, the Rangers take the Astro Megaship and speed into the cosmos to help. Five enormous animals, the Galactabeasts, are held in cages by the evil general, Brunt . While the teens fight to free the animals, Scorpius sends the Radster monster and Furio to attack Terra Venture.

Plot[]

The Stingwingers brace down chains on five large steel cages on an unknown planet. Eyes peer through the cage as one being roars at the Stingwingers. On Terra Venture, Leo and Maya are doing yard work when the latter hears a wolf's howl from a distance. She instantly realizes that someone is in trouble and needs their help. Damon joins the two as Maya explains what she heard. Animals were calling out for help, and Leo tells Damon that they need the Astro Megaship to find them. Damon says that the Megaship's navigation systems are down, but Maya says she could find them. They sneak onboard the Megaship and do a system scan before taking off. Kai is against the idea of taking the Megaship without proper procedures and tries to tell the trio not to fly off without warning. However, Leo breaks contact with Kai and Kendrix as Damon finishes checking the Megaship. Everything is fully functional, and they fly off to rescue the animals trapped in the cages.

Using her senses, Maya finds the planet the animals are trapped on, and the trio goes down to the surface. Maya leads Leo and Damon to the location of the animals and sees the Stingwingers firing lasers inside the cages. Maya and Leo decide to cause a distraction despite Damon's insistence on thinking up a thorough plan. Maya leads the Stingwingers and their acting commander Brunt away from the cages as Leo and Damon make their way to the cages. Before Damon can break the code for one of the cages, they are attacked by Radster and an army of Stingwingers. With Maya joining the men, they morph and prepare for a fight. Just then, a morphed Kai and Kendrix arrive to help the trio. Each Ranger breaks the chains off the cages during the fight as the others fend off Radster and the Stingwingers. Once the chains are broken, the five animals are released, and Radster retreats.

The Rangers are in awe over the animals they freed, and Maya reassures Damon they are harmless. Maya reveals she can understand the animals as she translates on behalf of the lion, thanking the Rangers for freeing them. The five animals leave, though the lion promises to repay the Ranger's heroic actions one day.

On the Scorpion Stinger, Scorpius berates Brunt for failing him and shocks him. As Brunt runs away, Scorpius calls for Furio. Scorpius orders his general to destroy the Rangers and bring him their Quasar Sabers. The Scorpion Stinger flies to Terra Venture and attacks the colony. Citizens run off to safehouses as Furio and Radster teleport down and hunt for the Rangers. Security forces are called in to protect civilians, but their weapons do not affect Furio or Radster. As the Rangers head back to the colony, they see the attack on screen. Seeing this forces Damon to turn on the hyper accelerators and save Terra Venture.

As Radster overwhelms the security force, the Rangers teleport to the colony. Their presence sparks hope in the civilians as Furio leaves Radster to deal with the Rangers alone. The Rangers take on Radster as Kendrix tells security to check on civilians. Leo drags Radster off to face him alone, refusing to let the latter take their Quasar Sabers. Leo uses his fire attack to push back Radster before striking the monster with a powerful slash from his Quasar Saber. Although weakened by the attack, Radster pulls out a beaker full of green liquid and drinks from it. This causes Radster to grow into a giant, turning the tide against the Rangers. The Rangers are helpless against the giant Radster, and Leo gets smacked by the former when he tries to attack. Fortunately, help arrives in the form of the five animals they rescued earlier, Maya calling them Galactabeasts. Leo realizes that they came to honor their promise and the Lion Galactabeast calls the Red Ranger to join him. Leo leaps onto the lion's head, and the two combine their fire attacks into one giant flame. Radster tries to counter with his lasers, but it is not enough, and the flames engulf the monster, destroying him. With the battle over, the Rangers welcome their new friends to the team.

On the Scorpion Stinger, Furio tells Scorpius that it will only be a matter of time before they get the Quasar Sabers, now that they know the Rangers are on Terra Venture. Scorpius sends Furio off as his human-like daughter, Trakeena, says that Furio might be a worthy general. Back on Terra Venture, the Rangers relax in the common area as Maya wonders if she will ever see Mirinoi again. As Leo and Damon play cards to do the dishes, the former manages to find the queen of hearts in the latter's breast pocket. Kai admits to Leo that his decision to rescue the Galactabeasts was the right decision, but the latter acknowledges that it was luck. Afterwards, the two play cards to see who vacuums.

Errors[]

  • In the below panning shot of the Galactabeasts just after they are released, you can see a skyscraper behind the Condor (obviously a leftover from the Sentai footage) even though that they were in a forest.
