Escape the Lost Galaxy
aka "The Lost Galaxy is Not Enough"
Airdate: 12/3/99
Barbarax leads the latest assault on
Terra Venture, capturing slaves for Mutiny's camp.
The Rangers arrive, but they are too
late, Barbarax has made off with a batch of new slaves.
The Rangers struggle to come up with a
way to end these abductions. Mike thinks of a plan. On
Barbarax' next round up, he gets himself captured to
infiltrate the slave camp, and get its location.
When an old man is threatened to dig up
more treasure, Mike gives him his. This gets him into
trouble, but a girl named Haley sticks up for him. She
reveals herself to be the old man's granddaughter.
Leo and Kai brainstorm to find a way out
the lost galaxy. Leo suggests they read to Keonta spell
backwards. Kai does so, and the book becomes energized
and flies off into space.
It worked! The book has re-opened the
rift in space leading back to their universe. Stanton
sees it, and orders Terra Venture full speed towards the
wormhole.
Mike and Haley escape from the slave
camp, and plot to free everyone. Mike calls the Rangers
and arranges for them to meet him there in half an hour.
They fight some Swabbies, steal the keys,
and break everyone out. The slaves all escape to the
Megaship, but Haley and Mike must return to get her
grandfather.
After freeing the old man, they are
confronted by Barbarax. Mike morphs in front of Haley and
her grandfather and holds him off while they escape.
With all of the slaves on board, the
Rangers take the Megaship away. Mutiny spots them, and
prepares to open fire.
Mike appears and blasts him in the back.
Mutiny fires at him with his arm cannon, knocking him
down a hill, and powering him down. Mutiny and Deviot
leave him for dead, and head for the castle to go after
Terra Venture.
An unconcious Mike is awakened by the
spirit of Magna Defender. He tells him that his job is
not done, and he must summon all of his inner strength to
get back up and go save the colony - his greatest mission
lies ahead.
Terra Venture is not moving fast enough,
and the wormhole begins to close before they can make it.
In charges Torozord - he stands at the
entrance of the wormhole and holds it open. The pressure
is too much, and he explodes.
Mike and Torozord's sacrifice bought the
station enough time to make it through the wormhole, and
back to the normal universe.
Something has followed them! Mutiny's
castle comes out of the wormhole, and is greeted by the
Scorpion Stinger. Trakeena attacks and destroys the
castle and its crew.
Leo scouts the area on his Jet Jammer for
any signs of Mike. He finds him unconscious, drifting in
space, and takes him back to the station.
As Mike recovers in bed, he finds that
his Magna powers are gone. The spirit of Magna Defender
appears once more, and tells him that he has carried on
the legend with honor.
Comments:
Terra Venture's tainted fuel supply sure showed
in this episode, as the station crawled towards
the wormhole.
The sizes were completely inconsistent. The
wormhole was about the size of Torozord when he
held it open, yet it was about the size of Terra
Venture when it went through it.
Yeah that was real nice, Mike drifting in space.
I suppose space, along with Earth's moon, has a
breathable atmosphere in the future.
Mike had such a great chance:
Haley: Who are you?
Mike: Defender, Magna Defender.
That was so sweet to see Trakeena in the Scorpion
Stinger destroy Mutniy and his castle so
ruthlessly and effortlessly. So much for the lost
galaxy slave trade.
