Linear Ranger's Power Rangers Operation Overdrive Site


Back at the evil base, the others are frustrated about the new Rangers, and are wondering why Thrax is no where to be found.	Adam brings the others with him to a warehouse in Angel Grove.

Bridge offers some assistance in their search.	But instead of finding what they're looking for, he finds Chillers.

Time for Plan Xander.	Well so much for Plan Xander.

Kira takes on her group.	And then she teaches those ice heads why Dino Rangers ROAR!

Bridge makes quick work of the Chillers attacking him.	Xander's not having too hard of a time with his.

But to finish them off, he goes back to his roots and uses the Mystic Morpher.	Tori takes care of these Chillers gracefully.

And finishes them off with a nice wave.	Finally, Adam proves that you don't always need civilian powers, just old school skills.

The Chillers are gone and the team regroups.	Back to the original task, the create they've been looking for.

Tori wonders if what's inside can really help, but Adam assure her that it has never let him down before.	Back at the Command Center, Mack is still around and has taken to some of Spencer's duties.

The Sentinel Knight appears and is pleased that Mack has not abandoned the mission.	Though he doesn't have his Ranger Powers, Mack still wants to help in any way he can. Sentinel Knight reminds him that as long as you fight for what is right, you'll always have power.

Mack asks what Thrax meant about what could defeat the Knight. Sentinel Knight then explains about Excelsior.	Mack is ready and willing to go get the sword first, but the Knight says that protection the remaining Jewels comes first.

But Mack still has other plans.	Ronny has returned to her racing career, but her victories seem less important now.

Dax is filming in front of a Green Screen in Auckland, New Zealand but this action is nothing compared to the life of a Ranger.	Will has returned to his Spy and International Treasure Recovery Job.

But even getting paid the big bucks again doesn't matter.	Tyzonn wanders the countryside, feeling lost and without purpose.

Rose has returned to her university and is giving a lecture on Sustainable Energy and Global Warming.	As Rose's class lets out, Mack comes in.

Rose is thoroughly glad to see her former teammate.	Mack asks her what she knows about Excelsior. She says that the college has a book on it in the library.

And with that Mack is right back out the door and on his way.	But Rose knows something is up, so she starts making some calls.

Mack has made his way to a strange dark forest, but everything seem to be going okay.	That is until he falls into a deep pit.

He quickly puts together a way to get out of the pit.	And it works.

And he's found the statue holding Excelsior.	But it seems Thrax has been following him.

Just as Thrax is about to blast Mack, someone jumps in and kicks the villain away.	It's Dax.

And he came with friends.	But Thrax is none to pleased.

That create Adam was after, inside was Alpha Six, and now Mr. Hartford has brought him back online.	Andrew and Adam explain that the Rangers are in trouble. Alpha Six is ready to help.

Thrax is angry that his parents were weak and changed over to good. But he plans to revive their legacy through himself, once he destroys the Sentinel Knight with Excelsior.	But as he goes for the sword, the statue hits back.

Mack lets Thrax in on the secret. Only the Warrior Goddess can release the sword to someone.	Not being able to get the sword, Thrax vows to trash this planet. He then escapes.

Adam tells Alpha Six that he's the only one with enough knowledge of the Morphing Grid to know how to fix it. Even though he's never been inside the Grid before, Alpha promises to try his best.	The robot is then transported into the Morphing Grid.

The alarm sounds, alerting the Veteran Team. Vulturus has been unleashed, giant size, on the out skits of town.	Back in the forest, Dax is trying his best to release the sword, but its no use.

Feeling that the Goddess is not releasing the sword, due to the fact that they're not Power Rangers, the others begin to give up and leave.	But Mack refuses to give up and goes back for one more try.

The others join in with their leader, and they all pull together to release Excelsior.	Wow, the Warrior Goddess statue comes to life. Through the unity of their friendship and the conviction in their hearts, convinced the Goddess that they are worthy.

Excelsior now belongs to them.	Inside the Morphing Grid, Alpha Six wonders what Zordon would do.

In the mountains, the Red, Green, Yellow & Blue Veteran Rangers command the DriveMax Ultrazord and try to beat Vulturus.	The Black Ranger tries the Flash Point Megazord.

But the Flash Point is taken down.	And so is the Ultrazord.

But help is on the way. Mack comes running with Excelsior.	Without any Ranger Powers, Mack slices Vulturus with Excelsior.

And the monster is destroyed.	Back at the Command Center, Mack gives Excelsior to the Sentinel Knight.

The sword's power is so great, that not only does it restore the Sentinel Knight's power, but it bonds with him and becomes part of him.	The others apologize for leaving and tell Mr. Hartford that they want to be part of the team again. They're easily welcomed back.

The Veterans return and thank Mack for saving their butts during the battle.	Then Alpha Six returns and. . .

THE GRID IS FIXED. The Overdrive Rangers have their powers back.	The Evil Alliance gather around the destroyed Vulturus.

But Flurious has a Plan B. He places on of his Gyros inside the monster.	And he's revived and more powerful.

With the Evil Alliance gathering at the quarry, the Overdrive Rangers get their repaired Trackers.	The Overdrive Rangers and . . .

the Veteran Rangers arrive on the battle field.	READY!

IT'S MORPHIN TIME!

NINJA STORM, RANGER FORM!

DINO THUNDER, POWER UP!

S.P.D. EMERGENCY!

MAGICAL SOURCE, MYSTIC FORCE!

OVERDRIVE ACCELERATE!

POWER RANGERS!	The Battle is on. The Mighty Morphin Black Ranger takes on Thrax with the Power Axe.

The Power of RED. The two Red Rangers take on Flurious.	A new Plan of Action. The Green Mystic Force Ranger teams with the Black & Blue Overdrive Rangers to take down the Fear Cats.

Some fierce Yellow Girl Power to take on Miratrix and Kamdor.	Ninja Storm Blue and Overdrive Pink team up to take down Moltor.

The Mercury Ranger deals with Vulturs and the Chillers.	Mighty Morphin Black powers up with the Defender Vest, and he and Thrax exchange blows.

Then he deals a Morphenomenal hit to Thrax.	The Yellow Rangers finish off the evil ninjas.

Blue & Pink cool off the Lava Freaks.	The Red Rangers kick it up a notch on Flurious.

Mercury Ranger finishes off Vulturus.	Excelsior gets into the fight with Thrax. The sword. . .

Morphs into the Sentinel Knight. It ends here Thrax.	And the evil warrior finally meets his end.

The rest of the evil villains think they're ready for more.	We'll see about that!
POWER RANGERS FOREVER!

The villains survive and escape.	Now that's what I call Ranger Power.

Back at the mansion, Dax goes over his emotions from when the Veterans arrived, when they stayed and now that they're leaving.	Spencer brings Master Bridge a large order of toast. And yes it is the BUTTERIEST!

Tori explains that they're all just a phone call away. She gives Andrew her card for her Personal Surfboard Shop.	Xander invites them to the Rock Porium and he'll give them a 10% discount.

Kira promises to come see them, and she'll bring her new CD that she's working on.	And Adam and Alpha are ready to head back to Angel Grove. Adam could use Alpha's help with his Dojo.

But one more time, for old time sake.	GO GO POWER RANGERS!

A total of 121 screen shots for Part II, and a combined total of 231 screen shots for all of "Once A Ranger". Words can not describe how totally and completely AWESOME this was. All the throw backs to the old days. Seeing Alpha Six again, and having him go inside the Morphing Grid to fix it. Continuing the Operation Overdrive storyline with Excelsior was great, and Mack continues to prove himself and a terrific leader. I loved seeing the Veteran Rangers command the Megazords. Playing the old theme songs during the battles was perfect. The civilian Veteran Ranger fight was incredible. I just want to thank EVERY SINGLE SOLITARY PERSON who had any involvement in "Once A Ranger", and I mean everyone. The cast, the producers, the writers, the crew, and special effects guys, the execs at Disney & Buena Vista, THANK YOU ALL. This was a perfect celebration of Power Rangers. Plus, probably the best lesson of them all was in this team up, even if you're not a Ranger, as long as you continue fighting for what is right, you'll always have Power. This episode rocked and every level, and again thank you to everyone who made if possible.
