Rising From the Ashes
Airdate: 04/15/00
Joel once again tries to put the moves on
Ms. F. This time, he is so disgusted with her obssession
with work that he simply gives up and walks away.
Ms. Fariweather takes a couple of
scientists to the volcano from the last episode to do
some tests. They enter a cave and begin taking a few
readings.
Bansheera resurrects Magmavore, making
him more powerful, and as he rises from the volcano, the
caves within begin to collapse.
The two assistants make it out safely,
but Ms. Fairweather is still trapped inside, and has been
knocked unconscious.
The Rangers rush to the volcano in the
Lightspeed Megazord to face Magmavore, who cracks their
sabre and knocks them down.
With the Lightspeed Megazord on the
ropes, Bansheera commands Magmavore to resurrect Trifire,
so as to not take any chances.
The volcanic duo easily trashes the
Lightspeed Megazord, knocking it into a crevice in the
earth.
The Rangers abandon Zords to go and save
Ms. Fairweather, but they are stopped by Batlings.
While the rest fight the Batlings, Joel
runs ahead to the cave. He blasts the entrance open and
rescues Ms. Fairweather.
Ms. Fairweather has a plan - the Rangers
reboard the Megazord, now running on backup power, and
she races back to the Aquabase.
The Rangers continue their futile battle
against the monsters, buying some time until Ms. F. gets
back to the Aquabase to initiate her plan.
Ms. F. and the Captain send the Rail
Rescues to the battle, and order the Rangers to disengage
their Zords and place them into the train.
Then, in a spectacular aerial manuever,
the Rail Rescues transform and combine into the
Supertrain Megazord, which descends from the skies.
The Rangers fire multiple rounds of
turbine laser blasts from one shoulder mounted launcher,
and rockets from the other, destroying Trifire.
When power surges electrocute the
Rangers, they move the launchers to the hands, and fire a
second round of shots at Magmavore.
Magmavore goes down, but the danger isn't
over yet. His destruction sends fireballs flying towards
the volcano, which set it off.
The Supertrain Megazord takes care of it
with a couple of freeze blasts, which put the volcano on
ice.
A lovelorn Joel is invited to dinner by
Ms. Fairweather. But to his surprise, he finds the others
there as well.
Comments:
Ms. Fairweather is such a tease. Even I got the
impression that she was asking Joel out to dinner
by themselves. I really thought she was beginning
to warm up to him.
Joel takes the cowboy look too far - he looked
like he stepped out of Wild Wild West in that
last scene.
The Supertrain combination was very impressive,
especially when it flew off the track. I am so
glad he towered over the monster, making its size
consistent with the toy.
