Angered by the sudden actions of the taller three rangers, Blue/Red/Yellow storm off and form their own team while "New" Red/Yellow/Blue start their own team. Purple is then caught in the middle and goes off to try to reunite his teammates.
The "New" Red, Yellow, and Blue send a challenge letter to the originals declaring to settle the score. They accept the offer and the following night they begin to fight, refusing to stand down and become the "New" Black, Orange, and Green. When the fight gets heated, Yellow takes out a knife and in result accidentally stabs Purple when he rushes into the fight to break it up. Distraught, the Rangers reflect on their actions until Blue notices puzzle pieces around them. Each member grabs a piece, puts it together, and realize their faults. Suddenly, Purple wakes up and shocks the Rangers by explaining to them that it was Yellow's piece that saved his life. "New" Red, Yellow, and Blue realize their faults and want to return to their original selves, but are unable to. Then, Purple uses his magic wand to transform them back to Black, Orange, and Green.

| For nearly three years, the rangers had split up and pursued different activities. Red became an artist, Purple became a richer man, Yellow continued to push himself into being a bigger man, Blue continued to be pretty, Orange became a pop singer, Green became a taiko master, and Black continuously was scheming. After that gap, the Rangers came back to Eight City to resume their roles as Eight Rangers but then are magically transported to another dimension, a fantasy world where the fabeled Snow White lives.
The Rangers are all smitten with the Princess and talk amongst each other, comparing themselves to be like the 7 dwarfs. But, while they were talking amongst each other, the princess approaches an apple and eats it. Once the Rangers realize that the princess was indeed Snow White of the fairy tale, they are too late to stop her from eating the apple and discover her comatose body. Distraught, they try think of a way to save her but are approached by a pack of wolves who admit to poisoning the Princess. The Rangers then find out they have 15 minutes to defeat the wolves and get the cure to save Snow White's life. The Rangers and Wolves fight as one initially but are over powered and split off. Green takes on a few by himself and Black gets caught. Green then pulls out his gun and shoots at the wolves but it ricochets. Black makes an attempt and the bullet ends up hitting Green instead of the wolves. In another splinter of the fight, Red engages a group of wolves and the rivals enter a singing competition in which Red comes out victorious. The fight continues with Orange attempting to make a wolf laugh with Red and Black as referees, but fails at this attempt and the wolf wins. Finally, Yellow brandishes a sword and takes on the entire pack of wolves himself. He uses all of his powers to destroy them but it fruitless and the wolves make it out of the attack alive. Suddenly, from above, Babun descends onto the scene and defeats the wolves with a single attack. Babun manages to save Snow White with a kiss. The Rangers initially think Babun is Purple but Babun denies the claims and Purple joins the Rangers. Babun and Snow White two disappear happily together. Much like their previous skits, this performance was ad-libbed. |
