"So, you still have not managed to bring Zeltrax in?" "is that what you are telling me?" "Yes, my lord." "But as we speak, I have the White Ranger hot on his trail." "Good." "Zeltrax is out of control." "And that would be fine, if he were fighting on our side, but at this point there's no telling where his allegiance lies." "That being the case he must be destroyed." "You will return with me at once, and rejoin your place in Mesogog's army." "Never. I will never return to that life of servitude." "Then I'll take you by force." "Tell your master he will never again treat me as his slave." "He made me, but he will never destroy me." "We'll see about that." "When sulfuric acid is launched into the stratosphere by a volcanic explosion it can alter the planet's climate temporarily." "Hope you guys got all that." "All right, before we go, a couple of announcements." "Our vey own Ethan James is going to be competing in the Detonation Man video game competition." "At Hayley's Cyber Space this week." "I hope you'll all come and watch." "We're having a sub tomorrow... someone who really knows a lot about volcanoes." "I think you'll find what he says vey interesting." "Great, you guys can go." " Thanks." " Bye." "Devin, there you are." "We are going to be so busy." "Have you seen the to-do list for today?" " l can't do the to-do list today." " What do you mean you can't?" "Well, I've kinda got something going on." "You're just going to have to do it by yourself." "By myself?" "That makes no sense." "We do evemhing together." "We're Cassidy and Devin." "Say it with me, "Cassidy and Devin."" "Hey, Cass, I can appreciate that, right?" "But this time you're just going to have to survive without me." "OK?" "You'll be fine. I'll see you around." " Hey, what's up, guys?" " Tell us Dr Mercer's not the sub." "Anyone but him." "Don't wory. I promise, it's not Anton Mercer." "Why are you missing class?" "Zeltrax." "After what happened with Krista, I don't want to take any chances." "I need to get to him before Mesogog." "Good luck." "If you need help let us know." "We'll be cheering Ethan on." "Thanks, guys." "Come on, come on!" "Yes!" "My highest score ever!" "1 O,250,OOO." "Good job." "Put your initials down for a high score?" "Oh, my bad. I already have all the highest scores." "Vey funny." "And I wouldn't be so cocky if I was you." "There's this new guy called Nahte who has cracked your top ten." "Look again." "Nahte is Ethan spelled bac_ards." "I was bored." "Good going." "You got Ethan to practice for the tournament." "No, I just got him up to the game so he could bag on me." "Guys, I appreciate the concern." "But I own this game." "Why stress?" "Where are you, Zeltrax?" "I know you're out here somewhere." "Who can tell me what was here in good old Reefside lust one million years ago?" " May I help you?" " Yeah, I'm in this class." "Young lady, that's impossible." "This class started 20 minutes ago." "Yeah, I know, but well l..." "Yes?" "We're all waiting." "I had a hair emergency 'cause normally someone gets my product, but he's busy doing who-know's-what so I had to go "sans product"" "and dy cleaning is still at the dy cleaners, so I was forced to wear clothes that is so last year, but... here I am." "Yes." "Here you are." "How lucky for all of us." "Take a seat and let's continue, before the bell rings." "Actually, that's my seat." "As I was saying, believe it or not." "Right here on this spot at one time," " was a..." " Volcano!" "No, he's right." "How did you know?" "Well, you're a leading volcanologist and we're studying volcanoes right now in Dr O's class." " l put mo and mo together." " Excellent, deductive reasoning." "Yes, right here one million years ago was a giant active volcano." "One million years ago." "Who would have thought?" "Let me guess, he kicked your butt." "Well, pull it together." "We have work to do." "It seems there'll be a volcano erupting in the middle of Reefside and a substitute teacher that's going to teach the Power Rangers a lesson they'll never forget." "You wouldn't be here for detention?" "You look familiar." " Devin?" " Oh." "Hey, guys." "How's it going?" "Good." "You're covering the contest?" "Should be a pre_ big stoy." " Yeah, yeah." "Big." " Where's Cassidy?" "Oh, I don't know." "I haven't seen her." "OK, see you." "That's weird, Devin and no Cassidy." "Hey, that girl's pre_ good." "1 9 million." "Yeah, she's not bad." "Still nowhere near Ethan though." "Speaking of him, should he not be here?" "As last year's champion, he doesn't have to get here till the final round." "But he should come and check out his competition." "He has been acting kind of weird lately, even for Ethan." "He is good at video games." "There's nothing wrong with being confident." "Unless of course you wear a T-shirt that says "l'm Detonation Man"." "Yeah, but he would never do that." "No way!" "Can I get a drink for Ethan, please?" "I guess, in the realm of cybergeeks, Ethan reigns supreme." " l can't watch this." " Right behind you." "Let me go!" "Hey, let me go." "What's going on here?" "What are these... these things?" " Silence!" " Preparing the Geno-Randomizer." "Dr Morton, your expertise in volcanic studies is about to take a giant eruption forward." "Activate." "What's going on?" "System engaged." "Now, we can unleash his volcanic power on the earth." "White Ranger, continue your search for Zeltrax." "We don't want him interfering with our plan." " Hi, Hayley." " Any luck with the Zeltrax hunt?" "Nothing." "He's vanished into thin air." "Where are you off to?" "The gaming's about to start and I need to be there." "Call if need me." "All right, see you." "You think Dr O's had any luck finding Zeltrax?" "I hope so." "That dude's got serious issues." "Well, hello, Rangers." "Mind if I cut in?" " Speaking of issues..." " How about a little group therapy?" " Ready?" " Ready!" "Dino Thunder, Power up!" "Dino Power." " You again." " Back for more?" " Bring it on!" " This is too much of a coincidence." "perfect." "Almost all of my enemies in one place." "You're going to lose this one, why not give up now?" " l can taste victoy." " Taste this!" "It's time to finish you." "Zeltrax, think about who created you." "You owe him your life." " What's going on?" " Huh?" "No!" "My life force." "It's fading. I can feel it." "You can run, but you can't hide, Zeltrax." "I'll deal with you later, Rangers." " He just vanished?" " Yeah." "Not that that's a bad thing." "His fight with you in battliser mode took a lot out of him." " He needs Mesogog to keep him alive." " And Mesogog needs us to defeat him." "Now that we know that, what's next." "Well, isn't it a lava-ly day?" "!" "What to do?" "I know." "First I'll create bad weather and then maybe a volcano or mo." "You fight the monster, I'll stay and monitor the Zeltrax situation." " Ready?" " Ready." "Dino Thunder!" "Power up!" "What a lava-ly day!" "I can fix that." " Hey, thunderhead!" " Huh?" " Don't want to rain on your parade." " Then don't." " What's that?" " You're making me blow my top!" "Think Ethan'll believe who he gets to play in the finals?" "I want to see his look." "It's going to be classic." "Only thing is, do we hold this thing off until he gets here?" "Barring a natural disaster, I think he'll have to forfeit." " Did you do that?" " No." "Dr O?" "It's Trent." "What's going on?" "I'll have to call you back when I can figure it out." " My systems detect volcanic activity." " Do you need me?" "Stay there." "That place is full of innocent people." "They come first." "What is this stuff?" "This was easier than I thought." "This will be the end of the Power Rangers and this world!" "OK, am I supposed to be at cheerleading or drama?" "And what about my facial, my pores are going to be like potholes." "I don't even know where l am." "I don't know who I am!" "Devin!" "I need you." "Oh, it's good to let off some steam." " We're in trouble." " Red-hot trouble." " How do we stop him?" " You don't!" " Nothing can stop me now!" " Don't count on it." "Bring it on." "You're reading my mind." "Just in time." "You're all mine, six-eyes!" "Four against one." "Doesn't seem fair!" " Get 'em!" " Tyranno staff!" "Let me in on some ofthis fun." " Hope you don't mind if I jump in?" " Is that all you puny rangers have?" "You want a fight?" "I'll give you a fight." "Super Dino mode!" "Spikes?" "What's the point?" "Hey, put me down!" " Not even a scratch." " Oh, yeah?" "Power down." "Yeah!" " Nice job, Dr O." " Thanks, but we have to finish it." " Conner, go for it." " OK." "Guys?" "Triassic Power!" "And for kicks, Battliser!" "Engage!" "Oh, yeah!" "Energise!" "Fire kick!" "Super-fire power!" "What the...?" "Dragon yo-yo." "Cannon, power up!" "Battle blast!" "It's not over yet." "See how you like this!" "I'm back!" "Brachio!" "You are in for a big defeat!" "Super-charged." "Stegozord, activate!" "It's too late!" "This should cool off the situation." " Sums up!" " Oh, no. I forgot my water wings." "That's our wave!" "Cowabunga!" "Let's finish it!" "Wipe out, yeah!" "Are you all right, doctor?" "Did you know that volcanos can lie dormant for thousands of years?" "And they can spring to life, spewing hot magma into the air." "You're batting 1 .OOO, Elsa." "In one day, you've managed to allow Zeltrax to disappear to safety and allow the Rangers to defeat us." "I'll be back and with a punishment befitting your uselessness." "It's the final." "And here he is, your returning Champion Ethan James!" " Yeah, go Ethan!" " Yeah!" "Who's Ethan playing in the final?" "Your challenger, with the highest score of the day, Devin Del Valle!" "Hey!" "Yes!" "21 ,400,OOO points. I won!" "Not so fast, Ethan." "Devin's still playing." "21 million points and counting?" " 21 ,200,OOO." " Why are they cheering?" "21 ,500,OOO." "Devin wins." "Game over." "How could he win?" "How could I lose?" " No practice?" " Swelled head?" "But, I am Detonation Man." "You are now." "A video game?" "You ruined my life for a video game?" "!" "Oh, yeah, Cass, look, I tried to tell you." "This is unacceptable. I have needs, Devin." "Needs." "Do you understand that?"
