The Cobra Strikes
Airdate: 05/27/00
"Doctor, it hurts when I
morph." - "So don't morph". Ms.
Fairweather looks at Ryan's tattoo, and says there is
nothing she can do.
The emergency alarm calls the Rangers to
the city. Diabolico has appeared, bringing back his three
monsters merged into one - Trika!
The Rangers morph and put up a fight
using their entire arsenal, but they are taken down fast.
They regroup at the Aquabase, where they
are told of the Battle Boosters, which should help them
out.
The Rangers head back to the city and
summon the new Boosters, which materialize out of the
Rescue Morphers.
Carter, always the center of attention,
powers up his Booster and gives Trika a good solid punch
to the gut.
Ryan has travelled to the tomb where
Diabolico was once kept. He figures out that the cobra
tattoo's source of power is the cobra statue here.
With Trika reeling from Carter's punch,
the Rangers all follow it up with laser blasts from the
Battle Boosters, which destroy Trika.
The cobra statue has come to life, and
begins attacking Ryan. Ryan knows he must defeat this
creature to lift the curse of the cobra.
Diabolico teleports to the city and
grows. The Rangers summon the Supertrain Megazord, but
Diabolico takes it down.
Ryan is still having trouble with the
cobra, so he morphs. As powerful as he is, he still can't
manage to defeat the cobra, and is beaten until he drops
out of morph.
Ryan grabs his fallen Titanium Laser and
hurls it, in axe mode, towards a column. It collapses and
lands on top of the cobra, killing him. Ryan checks out
his back and finds the tattoo gone!
It's a step down, but the Rangers call on
the Lightspeed Megazord, which also gets the stuffing
beaten out of it.
Just in time, Ryan shows up in the
Solarzord and whisks the Lightspeed Megazord up to
safety.
Thw two Zords combine, and form the
Lightspeed Solarzord. Watch out Diabolico!
Diabolico charges up his star power and
sends a whopper of a blast the Rangers.
Amazingly, the Zord is undamaged. In
fact, it has absorbed the blast, and uses the energy to
charge up its weapons.
The Lightspeed Solarzord fires with its
side mounted blasters, and Diabolico is destroyed in an
enormous explosion.
With Diabolico dead, the star power
floats back to the Skull Cavern and latches onto Impus,
encasing him in a coccoon.
Queen Bansheera appears over the city and
shows off her pride and joy, warning the Rangers that
their destruction is at hand.
