ABA #16.

Megalador charges down the street, Thundersaurus Megazord poses, then charges forth, both meeting in the middle to clash for a moment, the Megazord then sparkily tail-arm bashing the monster a few times before Tricera-fist punching him into flying off and away. Megalador lands, turns, and spews a continuous stream of water at Thundersaurus, until a bright flash erupts, and the three Rangers flip over onto the ground. Black rushes over to their side, helping Red up, as both look upward at Megalador, who talks down to them for a moment tauntingly, then dematerializes. He resurfaces in the middle of the ocean, motioning his arms and causing a tidal wave to begin to rise behind him.

ABA #16.

Thundersaurus Megazord poses on the Stega Surfboard, Yellow talks for a moment, as does Red with hands clenched, while Blue also talks with less enthusiasm. The Stega Surfboard crawls forth a few steps, then leaps into the ocean, Megalador continues motioning as the tidal wave engulfs him, the Megazord hangs ten on the giant wave, the Rangers gesture forth. The Thundersaurus Megazord slides the Stega Surfboard sideways into Megalador, sparkily striking him repeatedly with its jagged edges.

Shot 1 is textless, unlike source.

ABA #16.

The tidal wave begins to rise up before the city of Reefside, prompting Thundersaurus Megazord to shoot the curl, then the Rangers speak, before the Megazord readies its spinning tail-arm, jabbing it forth as it glides past Megalador on the Stega Surfboard, causing the monster to explode in the middle of the ocean. A bright flash of light beams, causing the tidal wave to dissipate, leaving the city safe and dry. The Rangers cheer, and the Megazord turns around to face us on the Stega Surfboard.

Cuts shot 7 before they finish cheering; Fades to black.
