Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban and Nickelodeon. I only own the plot, subplots, and characters you don't recognize. I use some lines from "Green With Evil Part 3".

Zack and Billy struggled to break Baboo's hold. This couldn't be happening! They couldn't go out like this! Come on, Zack-man! Think! Zack encouraged himself. Looking at Billy, he saw the same determination on his friend's face. Then, they concentrated on their inner energy. Here goes nothing, Zack thought. Finster pulled the trigger on the gun and instantly there were two roars before a black and blue light shone from the Rangers. The beam from the gun ricocheted off the two teens and a horrible yell filled the air.

"Finster!" Squatt and Baboo shouted in horror as they released the Black and Blue Rangers. That strange light had killed Finster! Zack and Billy quickly fought through the Putties and Zack bent down and scooped up the gun that Finster had tried to use on them. Snarling, Baboo charged at them and Zack quickly squeezed the trigger. Billy and Zack watched in fascination as the beam latched onto the vampire. Baboo let out a horrible shriek before he disintegrated into particles of dust.

"Baboo! You killed Baboo!" Squatt wailed. The tall vampire had been his best friend. His eyes darkened angrily and he rushed at them, surprising them with his speed. He knocked Zack down, causing the Ranger to drop the gun. Zack gagged as Squatt placed his hands on his throat and squeezed. Zack gagged at the sudden pressure and reached up to pry the alien's hands away from his throat. However, Squatt's grip was amazingly vice-like and Zack could feel his trachea closing. Billy headed for Zack only to have Putties begin to surround him. The Blue Ranger jumped into the air and flipped forward, landing behind his would-be attackers. He grabbed the gun and pointed it at Squatt. Without a second thought, he fired. The beam hit Squatt, latching onto him, causing the alien to release his victim. Zack managed to roll out of the way and Billy ran to him and helped him to slowly sit up. They watched as Squatt disintegrated the way Baboo had. With a burble, the Putties disappeared.

"How do you feel?" Billy questioned in concern.

"Main Brain," Zack managed to rasp. Billy laughed in relief.

"As soon as you catch your breath, we'll go see if we can't find the others," Billy stated.

"I'm fine. Let's go," Zack insisted, starting to rise.

"You sure?" Billy questioned in concern, helping him. Zack nodded. Then, they slowly made their way to the other end of the fairgrounds. Meanwhile, in the maze, Rocky, Adam, Aisha, and Tommy continued to flee dodging blasts from Rito's sword. The Skeleton laughed heartily.

"Come out, come out, wherever you are, Rangers," he sneered.

"Keep going! Keep going!" Tommy urged. At the entrance of the park, Rita laughed. Now this is how an evil plan's supposed to work! she happily thought as she leered at Justin, Tina, Chris, Hilary, Zane, Bulk, Skull, Richie, Angela, and Tyler, and Marge who had been trapped in a large bounce house that was surrounded by an electric force-field. All but Marge had been so intent on making sure everyone else had gotten out that they hadn't even noticed Rita coming up behind them.

"Let us go, you witch!" Marge shouted. Rita's only response was a laugh.

"Not a chance, Sweetie! Once the Rangers are destroyed, you'll all be my slaves!" she told them. Justin kicked the bounce house angrily and his eyes flashed defiantly. There was no way he was going to let Rita turn him and his friends into her slaves. While all of this was going on, Goldar and Scorpina had chased the other Rangers across the park.

"Split up!" Jason commanded. Immediately, Kimberly and Trini went one way, while Katherine and Jason went another. Scorpina quickly gave chase after Kimberly and Trini while Goldar pursued Katherine and Jason. Jason looked over his shoulder. Man, I gotta get Goldar away from her! he thought.

"You go that way, I'll draw him off!" Jason instructed.

"No, we should stick together!" Katherine protested.

"Kat, go! That's an order!" Jason insisted. With a sigh, Katherine did as she was told and ran to a roller coaster she spotted. With a roar, Scorpina threw her boomerang at the girl who quickly darted behind the roller coaster. Scorpina fumed as her weapon missed its target and then came back to her. With a growl, she gave chase once more. While Katherine made her get away, Jason dashed into one of the fun houses, panting as he heard Goldar behind him. Man, I wish I could morph, he thought. He ducked behind an aisle, and-stopped. To his surprise, his own frightened expression stared back at him. He spun around to see the same thing no matter which way he turned. The Hall Of Mirrors. I'm in the Hall Of Mirrors, he realized. Hearing footsteps, he once again took off. Then, there was a shattering sound. He must've seen my reflection, he thought to himself.

"You're only prolonging the inevitable, Jason," Goldar called. "You know Scorpina's probably killed your little girlfriend by now," he taunted. Jason skidded to a stop. Was Goldar right? Had Katherine been killed by Scorpina? No! He's just trying to rattle you! Kat's tough. She can take Scorpina, he thought as he ducked behind a row of mirrors. "Show yourself, Jason! Give up! I'll be merciful," Goldar encouraged. Give up? No way! Jason thought. He peeked around the corner of a mirror to see Goldar a few rows over. As if sensing the Ranger, Goldar looked up. With a quiet gasp, Jason quickly ducked behind the row. However, it was too lat. Goldar had spotted him and was coming his way. Okay, Jason. Think! he encouraged himself. It wasn't as bad as being in the Dark Dimension, he wasn't fighting for his Morpher and he didn't have to wait to be rescued. But he couldn't keep running. He had to take him on. Jason squared his shoulders. If Goldar wanted a fight, he was going to get one! He waited until the footsteps sounded closer, and then risked peeking out from behind the row. Once the griffin was close enough, the Red Ranger let out a kick, knocking his opponent back. Goldar growled and brandished his sword over his head.

"You're mine, Red Ranger," he threatened. Then, he brought his sword and Jason quickly jumped back, landing in a defensive stance. Goldar came at him again, moving towards the left. Jason went to dodge the blow, but was taken aback when Goldar suddenly moved towards the right and swung his sword down. Jason let out a cry of pain as the blade pierced his shoulder. The boy started to drop but Goldar grabbed him and then threw him back. Jason cried out as the glass shattered. Goldar then smashed the mirror above him and the Red Ranger quickly ducked his head down and covered his head protectively, gasping in pain as the jagged edges hit him. Laughing menacingly, Goldar came closer and closer. Jason's breathing hitched as he looked up. He tried to rise to his feet, but his legs wouldn't obey him. No. I'm going to die right here and there's nothing I can do, he thought. Goldar's grin grew as he saw the Red Ranger's fearful expression. Finally, he had him. He raised his sword high and Jason cringed and put his arm in front of his face protectively.
