The Rangers are powerless after the destruction of their Zords. To restore both, the six teens plan to seek out their source of creation. Zordon and Alpha 5 tell them of the legend of Ninjor, an ancient sage who forged the Power Coins long ago. Our heroes set out to cross the dangerous Desert of Despair in an effort to find the Lost Temple of Ninjor, who may not even exist! Meanwhile, Rito's first egg-presents hatch into a new group of treacherous footsoldiers for Rita and Lord Zedd: purple birds called Tenga Warriors! And also, Bulk and Skull face the perils of registering at the Angel Grove Police Academy.
Tropes
- Hell Is That Noise: The creepy wailing in the Desert of Despair.
- "Eureka!" Moment: Rito can't remember what's in the eggs he brought, and then this happens:Rita: (enraged) YOU'VE GOT 10 SECONDS TO TELL ME WHAT'S IN THOSE EGGS! ONE, TWO...Goldar: Ten!Rito: Ten, TEN! THAT'S IT, TENGAS! That's what's in those eggs!
- Immediately after, the eggs hatch except for one, which contains the Vampirus monster. Unfortunately, Zedd sees that the rangers are going to the ancient temple for ninja powers. So, Rita suggests fighting the rangers after they get to the entrance, then plant the Vampirus egg near it.
- Oh, Crap!: Bulk and Skull's reaction seeing the recruits exercising. But Bulk is determined to go through with it.
- Quicksand Sucks: Aisha fell into one, but the other Rangers were able to pull her out of it.
- Running Gag: The jogging recruits. It continues through the rest of the parts.
- That Came Out Wrong:Skull: We wanna wear uniforms so we can impress the girls.
Officer: You'd better have a better reason than that.
Bulk: That wasn't meant to sound the way it sounded. We wanna protect the girls.
Officer: That's better.
