Eaten In An Instant! The New Enemy's A PIG?!
It had been a nice couple of days since the Sphinx battle and things were quiet in Angel Grove.
The School had even thrown together a Food Festival. And that is where today's story begins.
Ernie walked into the Juice Bar dressed in his Hawaiian Shirt and carrying creme pies. He smiled as he observed the festival and how everybody was having such a good time. "Ohhh yeah, this is gonna be fun."
"Hiii Ernie!" Two women dressed as hula-girls walked up next to him. Ernie smiled. "Hello ladies." He spotted Bulk and Skull fooling around with peas and a slingshot.
"Hey! You two! Come help me with these."
The two punks looked up and walked right over. "Hellooo ladies." Bulk said.
"I meant the pies." Ernie said and handed the cream pies to them.
"Ohhh....right. We-we knew that." Skull said as they took the pies off his hands.
"I know you did. You know where they go." Ernie said and walked off with the ladies.
Principle Chaplan met up with Kimberly and Trini who were carrying their own food trays. "Hello girls."
"Hello Mister Chaplan."
"Well it looks like our festival is off to a great start. I can't for it to begin."
"Yeah, people are coming from all over the city. We can raise a lot of money for the preschools." Trini smiled.
"And best of all, no alien monster attacks." Kimberly added.
"Indeed. Why, we haven't had any problems since that nightmarish minotaur. I dare say the Power Rangers have scared off that witch." Principle Chaplan smiled.
For those wondering, the Sphinx did show up at the theater, but it swiftly scattered the Rangers and then fought Jason in the desert, as such, the people of the city didn't really get a chance to know about that particular fight.
"I hope so. I'd be so happy for things to get back to normal."
Chaplan noticed the cake Kimberly carried. "That looks good. May I?"
"Ah ah ahhh, you have to pay for it first sir." Kimberly smiled.
"Annnnd I believe that goes for twenty bucks sir." Billy added as he walked up.
"Well....I'll be sure to save room. As you were." Chaplan smiled and walked off.
"Come on guys, let's go get set up." Jason said and the teens got to work.
Soon, the Food Festival was in full swing and food from all over the world was being sold: American, Hawaiian, Chinese, Japanese, German, French, Mexican, all of it. Principle Chaplan walked over to Jason's booth and bought himself a burger. "Ahhh, just what I like to see: A nice, clean, healthy festival."
Trouble was brewing however as Bulk, Skull and some of their fellow punk friends were glaring out at the students and visitors. "Ahhh, just what I like to see: A bunch of goody-goods about to get creamed...by PIES that is!" He and Skull laughed. He picked up two pies and smelled them. This was going to be so much fun. He noticed Skull cutting himself a piece of one. "What...are you doing?"
"Well, we have them so-"
"We're not going to eat them numb-Skull, we are going to throw them."
"Ohhh..." Skull smiled.
"Spread out and get into position." Bulk told his team.
Once they were spread out though, Bulk noticed the Principle picking up a salad at Trini and Sarah's area. "Hey, want to bet I can nail the Principle from here?"
His friend nodded eagerly. Bulk smiled, aimed and threw it like a missile.
The pie flew over his head, taking of his toupee and continued on to hit Skull in the face.
"Ooooh....ahhh...sorry about that man."
Skull licked his lips, tasting it then got a wonderful idea: "FOOOOOD FIIIIGHT!" He yelled and started throwing food around.
This was better than Bulk had hoped for. He picked up two pies and threw them and soon the festival erupted into chaos.

Up on the moon, Bandora observed all this through her telescope. "...What a group of idiots. Honestly, they're still the same filthy apes they always were." Bandora said to herself. "Look at them, throwing their food around and stuffing their faces like disgusting pigs....wait....pigs." She stood up and twirled her staff. Yes, this was truly an excellent idea. "FINSTER!"
Finster looked up as his Empress walked into his workshop. "Yes my Queen? How may I help you?"
"I want a monster. A special one. Bring in the pig."
"Ahhh....Empress...I do have one of those, but, it's not my best wo-"
"Then make it your best work! I want it at full strength! When it's ready, fire up the Monster Matic and call me. We're going to send him on a feeding frenzy."
"Yes my Queen. I will get started on it right away!"
Bandora turned and walked out, looking forward to the coming battle.
Down on Earth, the teens had just finished cleaning up the entire Juice Bar after the food fight. Sarah was leaning against the bar. "Ahhh man. That was insane."
"You can say that again." Zack said. "Is that everything?"
"Looks like it." Billy said. "Let's go get cleaned up."
"Good idea." The others agreed. They finished up and put the gear back in the closet and headed home.
"Empress!" Finster ran into the throne room. "My Empress, the work is done, I present to you: The Pudgy Pig!"
Bandora sat up as she saw a fat pig creature dancing inside and carrying a large knife and fork in it's hands. "FEEEEED ME!" The pig yelled out.
Bandora stared at it for a few seconds before she started laughing. "You want to eat? Fine, I'll send you to the city of Angel Grove. Once there, you can eat as much as you want. Everything you see. Have fun." Bandora smiled.
"Yess...yummmyyy!" Pudgy Pig licked his lips. With that, Bandora teleported it to down to Earth.
Pudgy Pig oinked as he arrived on Earth and charged into an all you can eat buffet, smashing right through the door and opening his mouth and inhaled, causing food, plates and even silverware to fly off of tables and right into the monster's mouth. The Pig closed it's mouth, chewed everything and then swallowed it all down. The people inside the buffet screamed and ran for it as the pig went for the food, smacking people out of it's way and sending them flying through the air as it did. Reaching the food, the pig smashed the glass in it's way and inhaled again, the food all being sucked right into it, emptying out the buffet in minutes. The Pig then teleported away, reappearing inside a grocery store. It slapped a random woman through the air, reached into her grocery cart and shoved all of the food inside into it's mouth, not even bothering to take it out of it's bags or wrappers. Swallowing the food, it tossed the cart away and then sucking in more food to it's mouth as people ran away and grabbed their children to keep the monster from potentially attacking them. It teleported over to isle 3 and began shoveling more food into it's mouth.
The teens were actually on their way to the grocery store to pick up more food to make up for what happened at the festival when they saw all the people were running out in panic. "MONSTER!" Several people screamed. Looking at each other, they ran inside to see just what kind of monster would attack a grocery store of all places. Getting past the panicking civilians, they saw a couple of unconscious civilians and that the grocery store was a total wreck. Shelves were overturned, torn open candy wrappers and milk cartons and bags of chips and broken wine bottles littered the area.
"What the heck happened here?" Trini asked.
"First thing's first: Help the civilians." Jason said.
"Shouldn't we-" Sarah started but Jason gestured slightly to the cameras that were in the store. "Oh. Right."
The teens checked in on the injured people and lay them all down next to each other. "Trini, you're with me." Kimberly said. "Let's go find some ice for these people. With everybody panicking, the police and ambulances will be here soon."
"Right. Let's move." The two ran off.
As they surveyed the destruction of the grocery store, they would occasionally hear grunting and pig sounds echo around them. The two girls kept quiet as they moved silently. They noticed nobody else around and it was eerily quiet. They had never seen the store so....empty. There was nobody else around and the shelves that weren't smashed or flipped over had been stripped bare of any and all food and drinks that had been on them.
Heading towards the rear of the building, the two split up to cover more ground. Heading to the left, Kimberly got a chill and saw that the doors that held the cold foods and deserts in the freezers had been torn off, broken glass littered the ground. "What the hell happened here?" Kimberly asked herself. As she walked around, trying to avoid the broken glass as much as she could when she heard glass break behind her. Turning around, she saw a 6 foot tall pig chewing on a turkey and swallowing it. It snorted and sniffed the air. "Girlllyyy, smelling gooood enough to eat!"
"I'm putting you on a diet!" Kimberly replied and punched at it but the monster knocked her hand away, moving surprisingly quick for it's size and then knocking her to the floor with a smack to the back of her head. Kimberly flipped in mid-air from the impact and landed on her back, wincing as she landed on the hard cold floor. The pig attempted to step on her but Kimberly rolled to the side and got to her feet and kicked the monster in it's gut but her leg bounced off and it grabbed at her. Kimberly twirled to the side and dodged the monster.
Soon, the others arrived. "WOAH! What is that thing?" Zack asked.
"It's a giant pig." Billy observed.
"That is disgusting." Sarah said flatly as the pig sniffed the air and snorted at them.
"Kim, you okay?" Jason asked.
"Fine. Just some cuts on my clothes."
"Let's make him pay for it." Trini said.
The team got ready to fight when the pig suddenly teleported away. "Now where is he?"
"He must have left, come on, we need to get out of here too."
The teens ran out of the grocery store through the back, noticing that even the backroom was trashed.
Exiting, they got a call from Zordon and teleported to the Command Center.
