Terra Venture receives a distress call
from an alien spacecraft. They find its location, and
Commander Stanton sends a rescue team to investigate.
Mike is sent to lead the team, and he
brings Leo along. They take a heliship to the spacecraft,
but find no indication that it's being attacked.
They board the ship, and find that its
crew has long been dead - the distress call was being
broadcast on a loop.
Leo rummages through some remains, and
finds an ancient book among one of the cadavers, and
takes it with him.
While monitoring activity on the ship,
Kai finds a life forming rapidly approaching the team.
Stanton orders them to abort, but communications are
down.
After abducting one of the crew, a
spider-monster ambushes the team, and captures the rest.
After battling Mike and Leo, it retreats.
Mike and Leo come across the monster's
lair, and find the team wrapped in webbing. They set them
free, and Leo retrieves the book, which had been lost in
the battle.
The Rangers appear on the ship, and they
evacuate the crew members that had just been freed. Kai
leaves to search for Mike and Leo.
Mike and Leo lure the monster away, and
hold it off with their blasters to give their teammates
time to escape. Their fire triggers a chain reaction that
threatens to blow up the ship.
As they run, they reach a door, and blast
it open. The heliship appears to take them away. Leo is
the first to jump into the ship. Meanwhile, the monster
quickly catches up to them.
As Mike jumps, the monster grabs hold of
him, and tug of war for Mike's life begins between Leo
and the monster.
Kai flies by on his Jet Jammer and
attacks the monster, releasing his hold on Mike, allowing
Leo to pull him to safety.
The heliship makes it out just in time,
and the ship explodes behind them, taking the
spider-monster with it.
Mike and Leo look over the book they
found, and ponder about what kind of secrets it may hold.
Comments:
Excellent, unmorphed, edge-of-your action. No
Scorpius, no Zord action, no Sentai footage,
almost no morphed action, and non-Ranger
characters in on the action.
The book Leo found will reveal the existance of
three more Galactabeasts, which are revealed in
the next episode to be Stratoforce Megazord,
Centaurus Megazord, and Zenith.
