Season 5, Episode 27: One Last Hope

"One Last Hope"
Episode 27
Air Date: September 23rd, 1997

Well, after replaying the last scene of last episode, back at the Space Base, Havoc (whose voice is even more badass than before) and Porto are watching as his soldiers reverse engineer his Metallosaurus with parts from the Turbo Megazord.  Porto also brings with him a book from the Megazord data banks that show that the source of the Phantom Ranger's powers is his Power Ruby on his chest.  Also Havoc gives Divatox her own ray gun that she can use against the rangers! Man, Havoc is just soooo awesome and comes up with stuff to efficiently finish off the rangers!

Meanwhile, back at the Power Chamber, the rangers are questioning how they will defend the city without the Turbo Megazord as they monitor the city.  Everything appears normal but they decide the best course of action is to watch over the city anyway as without their megazord, their vulnerable.  They morph and head out.  Meanwhile, as of last episode, Bulk and Skull are giving Monster tours of Angel Grove but continue to piss people off as they don't see a ranger or a monster like the pamphlet.  I love how they are mad they don't see a monster but when they eventually do, they run away as you would! lol Anyway, Havoc, looking over a map f Angel Grove, begins his attack on the city as the ranger fly over and drive through the city looking for any new attacks.  When they see downtown Angel Grove under attack by Metallosaurus, they all head there and regroup trying to defend the city with Lightning Cruiser but Divatox gleefully just shots them down with her ray gun.

As the attack continues, the rangers try to use the Turbine Laser again to destroy Metallosaurus but like last time, it has no effect as Havoc just blasts them back. Sheesh, just let this guy win already!!!  Not that I don't like the new team of Turbo Rangers but Havoc is just awesome, I have no problems seeing him win here.  Soon the Piranathron arrive and the rangers fight them with that wonderfully hilarious Piranathron them song playing.  After they retreat, the Phantom Ranger FINALLY reappears to give the rangers that last hope he was talking about eariler and leads them to tunnels under the city.  As the attack continues, they reach a wall in the tunnel that they need to all blast through to get to what the Phantom needs to give them but a bunch of debris falls on them; leaving Alpha 6 and Dimitria if the rangers are alright.

As Havoc continues to destroy the city with Metallosaurus, the rangers soon arrive on a huge collection of robotic transports aka the Phantom Rangers' Artillatron.  Each port slowly opens up revealing each of the ranger's new zord.  Ashley gets Star Racer, Justin gets Siren Blaster (Always a blaster with this kid's zord or vehicle! lol), Carlos gets the Thunder Loader, Cassie Wind Rescue and lastly, T.J. gets the Lightning Fire Tamer.  I LOVE the Rescue Zords!!! They are much better designed than the bland and boring Turbo Zords and can actually do a lot more than run into other cars! -_-  With their new zords, each ranger uses it to either fight Metallosaurus or save buildings from being destroyed by it. Eventually the rangers combine forces, sending Metallosaurus and a seriously pissed off Havoc, flying back to the Space Base.  With the rangers now equipped with new zords thanks to the Phantom Ranger, Divatox and especially Havoc target him next as they plan to get rid of him once and all.  Uhhhh ooohhh!!! O_O  This can't be good!!
