Zedd and Rita send a monster to earth and only kimberly was there to fight it. She infected it with her cold and the retreated. The rangers retuened form Edoni and with Kimberly destroyed the now healthy giganctic monster with their Thunderzords. Count Dragon decided to go to earth to capture and enslave the people there to serve in his asrmy. Dex was then sent by the king to stop hib on earth.

Zedd and Rita than sent four monsters along with Rito to attack the rangers at giant size. The rangers called their zords and fought them. Unfortunatly Alpha 5 and Zordon were forced to give them too much power from the morphing grid. The Thunderzords and the rangers lost power when the morphing grid blew up. The rangers evacutated before their power coins lost full power. They watched in horror as their zords fell apart. They returned to a command center ( which was in ruins). Zordon told them of Ninjor, the legendary maker of the power cions. The rangers used a teleportion device to travel to the Desert pf Despair to find Ninjor. Measnehile Zed and Rita celebrated on the moon. Bulk and Skull got into a Joinor Police Training Progrom in order to attract females. They meant Lt. Stone.
Back on the moon the eggs Rita gave Rita hatched to reveal tengu worriers. They were viscious bird like worriers. Rita and Zeed sent them to stop the rangers from, finding ninjor. One egg was still unhatched and Rito couldn't remember what it was supposed to be. After they braved many traps the rangers founnd the mountain where ninjors temple was supposed to be when the meant the Tengas. The tengas were too powerfull and the rangers retreated to a whole in he mountain. They ended up finding the entrance to Ninjor's temple and found him in his little bottle. He told them to leave and the rangers decide that they will defeat Zedd and Rita anothe way if they have too. He than to them to leave since they are not worthy. The rangers than decided to reurn to fight Zedd and Rita anyway. Ninjor than left his lamp and grrws to normal size. He told the rangers that he was testing them and that they passed. He than took them outside of the temple. There he gaves them new ninja powers. Ninja siuts than appeared on the rangers. Adam had the power of the frog, Rocky had the ape, Billy has the wolf, Kimberly had the crane, Aishia has the bear, and Tommey had the Falcon. Each ranger got a ninja zord that corresponded with their animal spirit.. The rangers used their new powers to defeat the tengas. Ninjor told them to look inside their heart sto get their real power. They morphed using the color of their ranger suits ( instead of their dinosuar names) and appeared in their old suits.They then had access to their new zords. They used their Ninjazords to defend Angel Grove anganst Rito. All the Zords joined together to form the Ninja Falcon Megazord. They defeated Rito and sent him retreating back to the moon.

The battle continues and the rangers learned to use their new ninja powers to foil Lord Zedd and Rita's plans. Ninjor would show up as theire ally whenever they needed help. The rangers fought the tengas in their ninja costumes. While in there ninja costumes the rangers could do all sorts of tricks to confuise their opponents. But when the monsters showed up they fuilly morphed into their ranger forms so they could take the battle up a nocth. Meanwhile Bulk and Skull were doing their best as bumbling jr. police officers and given their surpior ( Lt. Stone) a headache.
Kimberly 's mom got marride to a frenchmen thus given
kimberly stress that she would have to move to france and give up her ranger
duties. She was able to resovle her situation by staying with Aisiha's
family till the school year was over. At this time Aisha had found a nice
little homeless cat she named PT. When no owner cam forward Aishia decided
to keep the Kat. Unbeknowest to her, the Cat was really an evil monster
of Rita's who was sent to destory the rqangers. The monster also had a
human form named Kat. Kat tricked Tommy and nearly got him lost in another
demension. Fotunatly Tommey was set free and the rangers defeated the cat
monster ( still not knowing Kat
s or PT's true identy). Kat's mosnter form was defeated
but she repeared in her human form.She told the rangers she was new to
their shcool. She than took her cat form in private and went back to Aishia.
She continued to spy on the rangers for Rita and Zedd and would try to
undo the rangers from within.
Rita had Kat steal Kimberly's ninja coin. Using the ninja coin she was able to steal the Ninja Falcons Zord. Without the Ninja Falconszord the other Ninjazords were unusuable. Ninjor was also caputed by Zedd and Rita while in battle. Since the ninja powers were linked to the ranger's lifeforce this caused KImberly to lose lots of energy. Eventually she was captured and Zed had her hooked up to a machine. The machine would drain her of her life energy and the pink power forever. Finster found the lost Shogun Zords. Zedd and Rita used ninjor's power to rebuild the zords patterned off the ninjazords. They planned to force the rangers to piolet the zords ( under Rita and Zedd's control) or Kim would die. Fortunatly the rangers were able to teleport Tommey to where Kim was being held. In a balte with Lord Zedd the white ranger was able to save Kim and bring her back to the command center. Billy was able to gain control of the shotgunzords and the rangers used to destory Rita and Zedd's latest monster. The Shogunzords became the rangers new primary zords till they could find a way to get the Falconzord back. Alpha and Zordon were able to separate the pink energy from Kim's lifeforce so she wouldn't be in danger anymore. Zordon revealed that the other ninja powers would be able to temporally allow Kim to still morph into the pink ranger.
Kat soon began to remember her old life. She was actually a human who Rita put under an evil spell on. Her goodness began to break the spell but Rita was able to hold it with her dark magic. Meawhile Kimeberly gained the tutalage of a famous gymanstics coach. He wanted to help her make the Pan Am Games. Rita diberattly tried to drive her to the piont of exhustion so she would get sick. Between her ranegr duties and her training Kim fell off the balence beam when she tied to do some late night training. Kat was able to overpower Rita spell and qiuckly realized Kim was in trouble. She used to ehr side and called the hospital. Kimberly was alright but she wanted to give up gymnastics. Kat (now free of Rita's spell) told KIm and the rangers the whole truth. The rangers understood and told Kat it wasn't her fault since she was under a spell. The rangers later found out the evil spell on Kat was broken when Kat did something good( saving Kim).
Rita and Zedd were angered over Kats betrayal and wanted to punish her. They offered Ninjor for her return. In a plan to get ninjor back Kat agreed to be the bait. Billy made a device to shield Kat from Zedd and Rita's forces during the battlee. Unfortunalty (during the actual battle) the device was ruined. Rita and Zedd were able to capture Kat without given the rangers Ninjor. Kat was locked in dungeon in a demension that was going to be washed away by some mystical ocean. Kat was able to trick Rito into letting her out of the prision, She realized the pink power coin was also there. When she quckly grapped it and the command center's sensors detected that the pink coin was in he hands of good again. The rangers were able to teleport Kat to safty. Kat was able to give the pink power cion back to Kim. Kat also convinced Kim to go back to gymnastics. It seemed Kat was once a champion diver who got hurt in the Pan Am games, she never swam again after that. To prove to Kim that she could go back to gymnastics, Kat went diving again. Kmberly decided to go back to gymnastics and qualified for the Pan Am games. Unfortuantly this gave Kim a big descion. She could remain as a ranger with her friends or move to Florida to train for the games. Her friends convinced her to fallow her heart and go to the pan am games. Kim gave her powers to Kat and asked her to carry on for her. Kat agreed and became the new pink ranger.
It was not easy for Kat at first. She had a good heart and a lot of potential but she didn;t have much confidence in herself. She was abe to recieved Kim's full ninja powers. Rita's father (Master Vile) arrived with plans to find the mystical Zeo Crystal that was buried beneath Zedd and Rita's Castle. Only a being of good could retireve it. . It seemed Vile's enimes had it hid theie long ago. Vile immidiatly set his sites on defeating the power rangers. He gave the tengas more power and made them alomost unstoppable. Fortuntatly, Zordon was prepared and gave the ranegers new mattillic armor to fight the tengas with. Vile's sent a new monster that proved to be formidable and nealry drained the rangers of their power. In a plan to get the zeo crystal before Vile Kat and Tommey went to the moon. Kat pretended that she wanted to rejion Zedd and Rita while Tommey went deep into the caves of their palce, to retrieve the zeo crystal. Kat was placed in this machine that would make her evil forever. Meawhile the rangers used a new remote control that allowed them to use the nina zords once again. Tommey was able to conquer various allusions that played his fears. He feared Kat was evil again and that he failed her. Mostly he feared that he was evil himself . Finally he reached the zeo crystal and wa able to retrieve it. First the force field aroud it saw all the evil he did under Rita's spell. But it then saw all the good he did since than allowing him to take hold of the crystal. Tommey than came to Kats aide and used the goodness of the crystal to free her from the evil machine. Before they left the palace Kat and Tommey found the Falconszord and jined the battle the rangers were having.
Unfortunatly the newly enpowered monster ( drained ninjor's power) was too much for the rangers and they wer defeated. The zeo crystal and all the zords were captured by Vile. He sent them to his home demension. He than began using the zeo crystal to destory the earth Vile thought he had won. The rangers were able to go to Vile's Demension. They entered their crippled zords and took control of the zeo crystal with their powers. They regained control of their zords as well. Ninjor was later freed from Vile's hands. The rangers used their zords to defeat Vile's monster. Vile was not able to be defeated so easily and retreated ,vowing revenge against the rangers. Under Zordon's instructions, the ragers broke up the zeo crystal and scattered its shards through time and space. Kat told tommey she wasn't afraid of bring a ranger anymore.
Vile's next plan to destory the ranger seemed flawless. He used his powers to turn time backwards on earth. This turned the rangers into helpless kids. Fortunatly their ninja coins allowed the rangers to retain the memories of their teenage lives. Unfortunatly as kids they were unable to use their powers. Master Vile thought the world was his and put together an army of monsters to take earth for good. The rangers found their way to the command center. Zordon was able to send a message to an alien team of rangers on aquatiar ( a planet full of water). The Alien Rangers quickly came to the rangers aid and were able to stop Vile's plan with their Battleborgs and the Shotgun Megazord( the zord was reconfigured to be controlled by the Alien Rangers). Vile went back to his demension frustrated that he could not beat the rangers, leaving Rita and Zedd to continue their own conquest. The six Alien Rangers agreed to stay and help till the Earth could be restored to its normal state. Unfortunatly the alien rangers needed water to survive or they would die. Thusi they always had a problem when they didn't have enough water. Billy was able to make a device that would use the power cions to restore the rangers to their rightful ages. He used it on himslef as a test. He was restored to his rightful age immidiatly.
Rita and Zedd took the device and destoryed it ( with the power cions inside they were destoryed as well). The Alien Rangers continued to help the earth with billy's assistance as tech guy. At one piont the Aliens had to go home to freshen up their water power. They soon were able to return to help protect the earth. Zordon told the chil like rangers that they had to go through space and time to retrieve the five zeo shards. Only with them would earth be restored to is nomal timeframe. Thus the rangers( minus Billy) went on their own individual quests through time and space searching for the Zeo subcrystals.Meanwhile Rita and Zedd were continually thwarted by the Alien Rangers. One by one the rangers retrieved the Zeo subcrystals and returnd to the command center. Rita and Zedd were able to summon a great evil from aqutiar, The Hydro Hog. The Hydro Hog had the ability to drain water from everything. Causing a big problem for the alien rangers. Goldar and Rito were sent underneath the Commad Center to try to plant an explosive. he aqua angers were loseing bad to dhydor hog. and were being drianed of all their water. Billy used a decive to create a rain storm to re-energize the Aliens Rangers. The Alien Rangers were than able to finally defeat the Hydro Hog.
All the childern had returned with their crystal shard except for Aishia. TAishai landed in Afrieca where she met a young girl named Tonya. Tonya was from america but her parents wer lost on some island. She was adopted by a local tribe. Tonya told Aisha they had to get back to her tribe because night was falling. When night fell the animals acted wierd for some unknown reason. The land was dying bechuse fo this. Aishia was introduced to he leader of Tonya's tribe. She was a wise woman who told Asiha she was chosen to save them from the evil that over their land. She revealed that she had the Zeo subcrystal Aishia was looking for. She gave it to Aishia. to keep COotact was established with Aishia. The ranegrs were ready to bring her home. She told Zordon of her intent to stay and help the tribe sine she had knowledge of animals do to her experiance working at an amimal shelter. Aishia gave Tonya her zeo shard and sent her back to the command center to carry on as a ranger. Using a device Billy recombined the zeo crystal. The ranger used to cysrtal to restore earth to its proper time and the rangers were teens again, as well as Tonya.
The rangers went to say goodbye to the Alien Rangers while Tonya was filled in on everything by Zordon and Alhpa. The Alien Rangers went back to their homeworld . The rangers went back to the Command Center. Unfotunatly, Godaler and Rito had already set the bomb underneath the command center. They stoled the Zeo Crsytal and escaped before the rangers could do anything about it.. As the bomb was about to go off Zordon had Alpha teleport the six rangers outside of the Command Center before the explosion. Billy was knocked by some energy balst he absorbed before he was teleported out Command Center. Ge got up soon enough and saw the explosion. The rangers watched helpless as the comand center exploded. MMPR ended as Rita and Zedd looked to have finally beat the power rangers.
