 An original script had the Rangers encounter a new ally, Mandika the  mermaid. She was described in the script as a girl with alabaster  skin, blue and black hair that trails over her bare chest, a silver  tail and she would have spoken with a strange voice. She would have  already known Zordon and Alpha 5 and was sent to help them find the  Ghost Galleon ship, as well as help out throughout the story. All of  the scenes were apparently shot, but cut out of the final film.
