- February 10, 2001
In Power Rangers season 9 episode 2, titled "Force from the Future (2)," the Rangers are still dealing with the aftermath of the time travel mishap that sent them to the year 2001. Jen is particularly struggling with this new reality, as her family and everything she once knew is gone. However, they cannot dwell on their situation for long, as they have a new threat to face.
The Rangers are alerted to a robbery in progress at the Silver Guardians' headquarters, and rush to the scene to help. They discover that Ransik, the mutant criminal they had been pursuing in their own time, has also time traveled to 2001. He has enlisted the help of a powerful new ally named Frax, who has created robotic creatures called "Quantum Crushers" to aid in their plans for domination.
The Rangers quickly realize that they must work with the Silver Guardians, who are led by a familiar face: their ally Wes Collins, the Red Time Force Ranger from the future. Wes is initially suspicious of the Rangers, but they are able to explain their situation and earn his trust. Together, they devise a plan to take down Ransik and Frax.
Meanwhile, Nadira, Ransik's daughter, is struggling with her own feelings and loyalties. She is torn between her devotion to her father and her growing fondness for the Silver Guardian Eric, who she first met during the robbery. This internal struggle comes to a head when Ransik orders her to capture Eric, but she hesitates and ultimately decides to let him go.
Back at the battle, the Rangers and the Silver Guardians are struggling to defeat the Quantum Crushers. They realize that the creatures are powered by Frax's central control device, and must destroy it in order to disable them. The Rangers and Wes work together to infiltrate Frax's lair and destroy the device, but not before facing off against Ransik and the Quantum Crushers in a fierce battle.
In the end, the Rangers and the Silver Guardians are victorious, but not without some major losses and realizations. The Rangers must come to terms with the fact that they may never be able to return to their own time, and that they must continue to work with their new allies in order to protect the world from Ransik's reign of terror. Nadira also faces a difficult decision, as she must choose where her loyalties truly lie.
