Ep 14. Clash for Control (1)
- May 5, 2001
In Power Rangers season 9 episode 14, titled Clash for Control (1), the Rangers are facing off against a new enemy, the evil General Venjix. Venjix has managed to infiltrate the city's computer systems, taking control of everything from traffic lights to the Rangers' own Zords.
As the Rangers work to regain control of their technology, they realize that Venjix's reach is far greater than they imagined. He has also taken over the city's power grid, leaving the entire city without electricity.
The Rangers split up to try and take on Venjix from different angles. Cole heads to the city's power plant to try and restore electricity, while Taylor and Alyssa work to take control of the Zords again.
Meanwhile, Max and Danny work to stop Venjix's minions from accessing the city's mainframe and gaining even more control.
As the Rangers battle on multiple fronts, they begin to realize that Venjix is more than just a computer program. He seems to have a physical form, and he's not afraid to use it to take down the Rangers.
In the end, the Rangers realize that they can't beat Venjix through technology alone. They'll have to use their skills as Power Rangers to take him down for good.
As the episode ends, the Rangers are left with a sense of unease. They have a feeling that this is only the beginning of their battle against Venjix, and that things are going to get much worse before they get better.
