The group have gone their separate ways and gone back to their old lives; Tyler is looking for his dad once again, Shelby is in college studying business, Chase is back home in New Zealand, and Riley is back working on the family farm. But not all is peaceful in the world. Sledge's ship may have crashed, but its inhabitants are still alive. Aside from Sledge, who is MIA and presumed dead, everyone has survived the crash, and the power vacuum allows a new leader to rise - Snide. Snide quickly kills one of the Spikeballs before he suddenly transforms into Heckyl, whose appearence shocks the remaining guards. Heckyl refers to Snide as his 'other self' and assumes control of the ship, demanding the prisoners be released from their cells and fed. He makes the ship an offer: bring him an Energem and they can rule at his side, or be on their way. One monster chooses the latter, and gets electrocuted for his troubles; Heckyl justifies this by saying they would have been the first to betray them, and this is the result of betrayal.

The group have gone their separate ways and gone back to their old lives; Tyler is looking for his dad once again, Shelby is in college studying business, Chase is back home in New Zealand, and Riley is back working on the family farm. But not all is peaceful in the world. Sledge's ship may have crashed, but its inhabitants are still alive. Aside from Sledge, who is MIA and presumed dead, everyone has survived the crash, and the power vacuum allows a new leader to rise - Snide. Snide quickly kills one of the Spikeballs before he suddenly transforms into Heckyl, whose appearence shocks the remaining guards. Heckyl refers to Snide as his 'other self' and assumes control of the ship, demanding the prisoners be released from their cells and fed. He makes the ship an offer: bring him an Energem and they can rule at his side, or be on their way. One monster chooses the latter, and gets electrocuted for his troubles; Heckyl justifies this by saying they would have been the first to betray them, and this is the result of betrayal.

Riley, Shelby and Chase all get attacked by an unknown enemy, while Tyler's truck is stopped by a flat tyre, courtesy of some icicles in one of the wheels. Spinning around, Tyler spots an old enemy - Iceage, who attacks him, freezing his truck solid. He rings Kendall, but his call gets cut off; this prompts her, Koda and Ivan to go and see what is going on. The three find his truck and get attacked, Iceage freezing Ivan and Kendall. Koda valiantly fights back but without his Energem is outmatched. He is about to be frozen when he slips out of his hoodie and flees, to Iceage's chagrin.

Koda heads back to the Ranger base and tries to contact the other rangers, but his primitive lack of knowledge on Kendall's tech means he can't do more than simply push buttons. Fortunately Tyler had escaped Iceage's attack and headed back to the base for reinforcements. The pair exchange information, and Koda reveals what happened when he fell into the glacier. Despite his fear, he comes up with the plan to trick Iceage, and the two confront the monster. Iceage freezes the morphed rangers and takes them to an industrial site for Snide. When Snide tries to take the Energems from the two, he discovers that it was a facade - only the rangers' suits were in the ice, not the rangers themselves. Using the Dino Blaze charger, the pair defrost the other rangers, and the seven morph to fight off the monsters. In the melee, Tyler fights against Snide, who easily knocks him around, but he quickly retreats when his energy is almost depleted, shifting back into Heckyl.

The rangers are able to defeat Iceage once again, and use the Plesio Pacha-Rex Formation to defeat him when Heckyl is able to use the Magnabeam on him. Afterwards, the rangers meet up with Prince Philip and discuss their new objectives: to find the missing Aqua Ranger, and locate the Silver Energem, as well as stopping the new monster menace.

* AsYouKnow: The final scene involves the Rangers going over how they have eight Energems, but need to find the last two: the Aqua Energem and its wielder (since they know it must have bonded with someone due to the Ankylozord being active), and the still dormant Silver Energem.

* StatusQuoIsGod: Variation; Sledge is definitely dead and Heckyl/Snide becomes the new BigBad, but the Rangers seemingly all get back together at the end (including Phillip) and they seemingly abandon their old lives again after Iceage kidnapped them. In all fairness, they have no clue about Heckyl's duel identity and also (perhaps) don't know that Sledge is no more.

The Rangers believe their work is done after they've defeated Sledge and his evil monsters. Unbeknownst to them, an even more powerful monster is picking up where Sledge left off and is closer to the Rangers than they think.
