--------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXT.-MACHIA-NIGHT
[The three main VehAni (Condor, Lion, and Bear) are racing through the sky-streets of Machia, a planetoid in another realm filled with beings made of vehicles and animals. The VehAni are chasing the Machine Empire Gunships, or MEGs, piloted by three members (Yogo, Metalia, and Argo) of a rogue branch of the Machine Empire. Metalia fires on Condor, who launches off of Lion to crash into some MEGs. The Machine Generals retreat from their crafts and flee via a purple wormhole in the sky.

EXT.-EARTH-CITY-PARK DOJO-REAR PATIO-DAY (six months later)
[A busy Saturday at the dojo. A familiar face is showing a class of about fifteen students the solar eclipse.]

ADAM PARK:
(showing everyone the shadowbox created to view the eclipse)
Okay everyone...get ready...here's the apex, where the entire sun is covered. Now, don't look directly at the sun itself.

[At the apex of the eclipse, multi-colored beams of light shine through the darkened portion, and land in the small park across the street from the back of the dojo.]

KID #1:
Sensei, what's that?

KID #2:
Is that supposed to a part of the eclipse?

ADAM PARK:
No. Chloe, get everyone inside!

CHLOE WILCOX:
What about you, Adam?

[Five mechanical beings take in their surroundings. Adam stares at them while citizens flee.]

KING GASKET:
Hello, Angel Grove...bow to the new Machine King!

ADAM PARK:
Oh, no!

[Adam Makes sure the coast is clear, then activates his Zeonizers. Both pieces appear on his wrists, and he puts them together to morph.]

It's Morphin Time! Zeo Ranger Four...Green!

KING GASKET:
A Zeo Ranger!

GREEN ZEO RANGER:
Yep...it's me. Been a long time. I see you ascended to the throne.

KING GASKET:
No thanks to you rangers, Zedd, and Rita.

GREEN ZEO RANGER:
New followers?

KING GASKET:
My followers and I are a part of the new Neo Machine Empire.

GREEN ZEO RANGER:
You do know that I can't let you guys stay here.

[Into communicator.]

Alpha...the Machine Empire has returned.

[The Green Zeo Ranger tries to take on the five mechanical villains, but Gasket easily overpowers him, and makes the ranger de-morph.]

ADAM PARK:
(on the ground in discomfort)
Man, Tommy had a better time at this seven years ago!

KING GASKET:
Ha! You puny Earthling! Come on, guys...taking over this rock will be a snap with no Power Rangers in the way!

ADAM PARK:
(staring down the mechanical quintet as they walk away.)
We'll see about that!

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[Inside a hidden base, deep within the mountains under where the Command Center and Power Chamber once stood is a Edenite-built robot, Alpha Six working on getting a computer system, known as Global online. He then tests the sensors, and follows the sensor readings to locate the machines traveling to a secluded island off the coast of California near Catalina.]

ALPHA SIX:
Aye-yi-yi!

INT.-CITY-PARK DOJO-DAY
[Since the area is safe, Adam dismisses his class while standing next to the front counter, staffed by Chloe Wilcox, the dojo's Assistant Manager. As the last student exits the doors, Adam lets Chloe, who is in the ranger knowledge loop, what is going on, and his experience with the Machine Empire.]

CHLOE WILCOX:
What was that all about, Adam?

ADAM PARK:
They are a part of the Machine Empire. See, they tried to invade back in nineteen ninety-six. My friends and I were already rangers. They, were the new threat. this five-piece crystal gave us new powers, that at the time were sufficient enough to battle them.

CHLOE WILCOX:
And now?

ADAM PARK:
My old Zeo Powers were not enough. Chloe...Alpha needs me at the Power Center...the planet is now in danger.

CHLOE WILCOX:
Okay...I'll close up, and be there soon.

ADAM PARK:
Okay.

[Adam teleports out of the dojo by touching buttons on his communicator.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[Adam teleports in and questions Alpha.]

ALPHA SIX:
(not sounding as "whiney" as in PROO)
Adam, thank goodness you're here! Global's sensors followed them to an island near Catalina!

ADAM PARK:
Good work.

[All of a sudden, the alarms ring out as a tri-colored beam of red, blue, and yellow light enters the base. Adam and Alpha shield their eyes from the brightness.]

ALPHA SIX:
Aye-yi-yi!

[Once the intensity of the light dims, small vehicular items are revealed. They are weak, but can talk.]

Adam...these are the VehAni...auto-beings from the planet Machia!

ADAM PARK:
(to the VehAni)
Are you guys okay?

CONDOR:
We came to warn the people of Earth...but it seems we're a little late.

LION:
See...our planet was invaded and grossly polluted by the Machine Empire.

BEAR:
They escaped...here to Earth...their next target.

ADAM PARK:
Yeah...I met them a couple hours ago, and got beat.

LION:
We want to help prevent this planet from becoming what our planet became...a polluted wasteland.

CONDOR:
First of all...can someone remove our Super Nitro Cells? I think we're starting to lose power.

[The access doors on the VehAni Casts open, and Alpha removes the cells.]

ADAM PARK:
I will help you the best I can.

CONDOR:
We'll help you build technology that will help defeat them. I understand that this mountain was once home to the Power Rangers?

ADAM PARK:
Yes...but it has been quite some time.

ALPHA SIX:
Adam, you know the ranger motto...?

ADAM PARK:
Ah, yes...once a ranger, always a ranger.

EXT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[An establishment shot as the camera zooms in on the palace.]

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[The five machines settle into their new home.]

YOGO:
So...how do we begin?

KING GASKET:
We begin by sending a Machine Beast into the city.

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[On what seems to be a normal day, a wedding lets out of a modern-looking church. The bride and groom exit the building, and are flanked on either side by well-wishers, who are throwing rose petals at the happy couple. Meanwhile, three young adults (Ryder Swanson, Brandon Crawford, and Keiko Ogawa) are sitting on the grass in the park enjoying the day, and talking about the eclipse, which has since ended.]

KEIKO OGAWA:
That eclipse was weird-er than usual.

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
Yeah...and those things that came from it...what were those things!?

[Nearby, the wedding party poses for pictures. Suddenly, the ground shakes as a monster emerges from underground. He looks like part incinerator, part furnace...INFERNUS, and he releases black smoke, which chokes the area. The people flee. The commotion alerts the three young adults to the monster.]

Man! First the weird eclipse...now this!

[Infernus eats the camera, tripod, and other smaller items by placing them in the incinerator above his face, then releases more choking smoke. The three young adults confront the Machine Beast.]

INFERNUS:
Are you three puny humans gonna try to stop me!?

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[The alarms ring out. Adam sees the three being harassed on the view-screen.]

ADAM PARK:
Oh, no! I gotta get out there!

CONDOR:
Adam...I sense that they are the ones. They possess the racing and justice spirit. Take them the new morphers.

[Adam grabs the morphers and teleports out.]

EXT.-CITY-PARK-DAY
[Adam teleports into a wooded area to morph.]

ADAM PARK:
(twisting his wrists to activate his Zeonizers. Both pieces appear on his wrists, and he puts them together to morph.)

It's Morphin Time! Zeo Ranger Four...Green!

[Adam morphs into the Green Zeo Ranger, then leaps in to battle the monster.]

GREEN ZEO RANGER:
Yo, hot-head! Leave them alone!

RYDER SWANSON:
Look! A Power Ranger!

[An angry King Gasket teleports in.]

KING GASKET:
You again!?

GREEN ZEO RANGER:
You know, you're getting to be a royal pain in the...

KING GASKET:
Watch it, pipsqueak!

GREEN ZEO RANGER:
Zeo Blade!

[The Green Zeo Ranger charges at the machine king.]

INFERNUS:
Gearoids!

[All of a sudden, two dozen robotic droids appear, and protect their monarch while battling the ranger. Overpowered, the Green Zeo Ranger tosses the morphers to the three young adults. The three take hold of them as the Zeo Ranger gets blasted to the ground by Gasket, and de-morphs in some pain. The three young adults rush to help Adam.]

RYDER SWANSON:
Sensei Park? You're a Power Ranger?

ADAM PARK:
Was...my powers are toast, now. Those things I gave you...

KEIKO OGAWA:
The cell-phones?

ADAM PARK:
They aren't phones...as you would know them. They are the Nitro Morphers. I want you three to become the Nitro Power Rangers. To activate your powers, call out the command of "Start Up," and press the yellow button.

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
I say we do it!

KEIKO OGAWA:
The planet need us.

[The three battle Infernus, and the Gearoids un-morphed, but with a sense of confidence. While some Gearoids keep the three busy, Infernus goes after some citizens with other Gearoids, but are later interrupted by the three young adults charging at them.]

RYDER SWANSON:
Hey!

INFERNUS:
And just what are you three kids gonna do?

RYDER SWANSON:
Guys...let's turn up the heat!

[The three take out their Nitro Morphers and open them. In their left hands, they put them up towards thier right cheek, and shout out the command.]

ALL:
Start Up!

[The three press the yellow button to morph.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
(posing)
Screech Of The Condor! Red Nitro Ranger, Rev Up!

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
(posing)
Roar Of The Lion! Blue Nitro Ranger, Rev Up!

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
(posing)
Growl Of The Bear! Yellow Nitro Ranger, Rev Up!

ALL NITRO RANGERS:
(posing)
Power Rangers: Nitro Defenders...

[The trio perform a couple roundhouse kicks.]

Let's Go!

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
Whoa! Now, this is power!

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
It's almost like second nature!

RED NITRO RANGER:
Yeah, now let's put them to good use...Nitrolizer!

[The Red Ranger un-holsters his sidearm and inserts his Super Nitro Cell. The Blue and Yellow Rangers do the same. The three rangers then transform their Nitrolizers into it's baton mode as the monster calls upon more Gearoids. Both sides then battle.]

Okay, guys...let's dismantle these freaks!

[The trio take on the Gearoids. The Red Ranger energizes his Nitrolizer to stab several Gearoids, shish-kabob style. The Blue Ranger uses his "cuff-wheels," and the Yellow Ranger uses her tornadic spin to take out some Gearoids.]

ALL NITRO RANGERS:
Yeah!

[Meanwhile, a small, white Mad Mike's Pizza delivery scooter travels up the street. When a Gearoid lands in front of it's path, the driver as to suddenly brake. He gets off of the cycle, and removes his helmet to check on the downed robot. The employee is JAKE GARABEDIAN. He is wearing a green polo-shirt and tan pants with a red jacket with the pizzeria's logo on it.]

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
What in the world!? Huh? What's that noise?

[Jake hears the battle, and tries to get closer. By some boats, he sees another person dressed head to toe in black. The man, MATT SANDOVAL, talks with a Spanish accent.]

MATT SANDOVAL:
(introducing himself, and flashing his badge)
Hi...I'm Detective Mateo Sandoval...Angel Grove P-D. Call me Matt.

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
Hi, Matt. I'm Jakob Garabedian...Mad Mike's Pizza driver. Call me Jake. So, those are the Power Rangers?

MATT SANDOVAL:
Yes, but the last time there was trouble here, was a little over a decade ago.

[The three rangers revert their Nitrolizers back to blaster mode and fire on Infernus to make him retreat. The rangers celebrate a bit as Matt moves in to confront them.]

Excuse me...(flashes is badge) Detective Mateo Sandoval, Angel Grove Police...is our city being threatened again?

RED NITRO RANGER:
Right now, yes. The Machine Empire has returned. Come on, guys...let's teleport.

[The three rangers teleport out.]

JAKE GARAEDIAN:
Whoa! They're so cool! I wanna be a ranger!

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[Infernus returns.]

YOGO:
(stomping his right foot in anger)
Those rangers are getting on my nerves!

[Metalia goes to drink some oil.}

METALIA:
What now?

ARGO:
We proceed to plan "B." Infernus, step into this chamber for an upgrade.

[Infernus steps in. Argo then flips a lever to activate the chamber. When finished, Infernus exits, then departs for the city, ready for battle.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[The three young adults.teleport in with their helmets in their hands.]

RYDER SWANSON:
So, this is our base.

ADAM PARK:
Yes...welcome. This is the Power Center...your new home-away-from-home. This is Alpha...my assistant here.

[Global's sensors detect the monster in the city.]

ALPHA SIX:
Infernus is currently at the amusement park.

RYDER SWANSON:
Got it...let's go!

ALL:
Back to action!

[The trio teleport out.]

ADAM PARK:
Condor...is there a chance two more morphers can be built?

EXT.-CITY-AMUSEMENT PARK-DAY
[A lot of unassuming citizens are enjoying the day and having fun. Infernus is at the top of a staircase, as the citizens notice him, and flee. He then chokes the area with black smoke, then departs for the warehouse.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Matt sees smoke rising up from the industrial zone of the city as Jake arrives on his cycle. Both then depart for the scene. Meanwhile, the rangers run through the city.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
(with some panting)
There's gotta be an easier way!

voice of ALPHA SIX:
Rangers...Infernus is at the old University warehouse. I'm sending the coordinates now.

INT.-CITY-WAREHOUSE-DAY
[After a few minutes, the three enter the warehouse and confront Infernus, who fires two powerful blasts (one in back of the rangers, and one in front). The blasts are powerful enough to make the trio fall down, and struggle to recover.]

INT.-CITY-WAREHOUSE-DAY
[Infernus fires two powerful blasts (one in back of the rangers, and one in front). The blasts are powerful enough to make the trio fall down, and struggle to recover, but quickly do so.]

RYDER SWANSON:
Ah, that does it!

[The three take out their Nitro Morphers as they get up.]

ALL THREE:
(as they hold their morphers in their left ands, and place the device near their right cheek.)
Start Up!

[The three press the yellow button to morph. The suits form over the trio as the cuffs spin into place around the tops of their gloves and boots, then the belt forms along with the "seatbelt" straps, then the numerical chest logo appears. The helmets then appear over their heads as they grab for them. The trio then puts their helmets on, and the "side wheels" spin and lock into place as the lights flash. Standing in formation from left to right are the Blue, Red, and Yellow Nitro Rangers.]

RED NITRO RANGER:

[The trio perform a couple roundhouse kicks.]

Let's Go!

INFERNUS:
That was impressive! My turn!

[Infernus blasts the rangers, but they dodge the blasts.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
(as all three press the "G" on their belt buckles)
Nice try! Nitro Gear!

[Their numerical chest logos glow to produce the individual weaponry.]

Condor Blade!

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
Lionzooka!

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
Bear Pellet!

[The three rangers walk the four or five feet slowly, and grab their weapons.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
(swinging the sword)
Road Slash!

[The Red Ranger leaps and slashes Infernus with his sword, to send him flying into some boxes. The Machine Beast quickly recovers.]

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
Lion Roar!

[The Blue Ranger fires his weapon to send Infernus into a pillar. The Machine Beast recover.]

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
You're gonna love this, Watch! Bear Striker!

[The Yellow Ranger releases her weapon. It rolls along the ground to Infernus, and creates sparks as it races around on his body, then the weapon lands on the ground. It then fires a beam to send the Machine Beast flying outside.]

INFERNUS:
(as he flies out the opening)
Whoa!

EXT.-CITY-WAREHOUSE-DAY
[As Infernus lands, the rangers run outside.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Let's combine our weapons!

ALL NITRO RANGERS:
(upon combining the weapons)
Nitro Buster!

RED NITRO RANGER:
(while inserting his Super Nitro Cell into the back of the Lionzooka)
Inserting Super Nitro Cell!

[The cannon activates.]

ALL NITRO RANGERS:
Fire!

[Infernus is blasted off of the building, and lands with a thud below.]

INFERNUS:
Oof! Oh! Industrial Revolution!

[Infernus shuts his eyes.]

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
Yes! I think we got him!

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[Metalia is concerned that Infernus was defeated.]

METALIA:
Did those pesky rangers just defeat Infernus?

YOGO:
No...that upgrade provided him a Banki Boost, which will allow him to grow using the Industrial Revolution...but this process takes a little time as the booster must flow throughout his entire body.

METALIA:
Gearoids! Launch the MEGs!

EXT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[Dozens of hatches open up to let dozens of Machine Empire Gunships fly out, and depart for Angel Grove.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[A green gas travels through Infernus' body. Meanwhile, the Gearoid-piloted MEGs flood the skies over the city, and start attacking and destroying buildings as the citizens flee to safety.]

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
(turning around to see the MEGs)
Now wha...? Oh, oh!

[The Super Nitro Cells come out of the compartments of the trio's belts, and float in mid-air for a few seconds before they can grab them.]

CONDOR:
Rangers...call Alpha and request the Nitro Casts.

RED NITRO RANGER:
(into is Nitro Morpher)
Alpha...we need the Nitro Casts!

voice of ALPHA SIX:
Right...transporting now!

[The case appears in front of the trio. The case opens on it's own to reveal the three Nitro Casts. The three pick up the casts and insert the Super Nitro Cells. The Red and Yellow Rangers insert their cells into the rear compartment of the casts while the Blue Ranger inserts his into the top of is cast. The casts then come alive.]

ALL NITRO RANGERS:
(holding their Nitro Casts outward)
Cast-Off!

[The Nitro Casts leap off of their rangers' hands to enlarge into the Nitrozords, and the three rangers board them.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Let's ride! Nitro Condorzord...ready!

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
This is cool! Nitro Lionzord...ready!

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
Nice stereo! Nitro Bearzord...ready!

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[The generals witness the Nitrozords on their view-screen.]

METALIA:
The VehAni just grew!

YOGO AND ARGO:
What!?

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[The three rangers prepare their Nitrozords for battle. The trio attach their Nitro Morphers to the steering wheels, which activate the seatbelts. They then put the Nitrozords into gear, and charge into battle. The MEGs fire on the three zords, but they are ale to dodge the blasts.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
(as several MEGs target his zord from above and ahead.)
So...you guys wanna play! Nitro Condorzord...

[The Red Ranger flips two toggle switches.]

...take flight!

[The side panels fold down to form wings, and talons drop from the chasis, and the zord flies up into the air.]

You're all going down! Lasers!

[The Nitro Condorzord fires on several MEGs, and takes them out before returning to vehicle mode.]

Later!

[Jake and Matt arrive on Jake's scooter in time to watch the battle.]

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
Matt! Look!

[Matt just looks on in some wonder as the Nitro Lionzord and Nitro Bearzord tail some hopping MEGs. The bear continues to follow as they round a corner, then ambush the bear by blocking her way.]

YELLOW NITRO RANGER AND BEAR:
Whoa!

[The MEGs fire on the Nitro Lionzord and Nitro Bearzord along with some assorted buildings. Some debris buries the lion as the bear uses the pile as a ramp to launch into the air to chomp on and destroy some MEGs with her mouth.]

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
Gotcha!

BEAR:
Needs salt!

[The bear belches as the lion digs itself out as the bear and condor join up.]

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
Mane Missiles!

[A rooftop missile battery open up on the top of the lion.]

Fire!

[Several missiles destroy some of the MEGs.]

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[Metalia is anxious, and consults Yogo.]

METALIA:
Is our Machine Beast ready yet?

YOGO:
Just about.

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Infernus recovers and grows after two smoke puffs come out of his pipes. The three Nitrozords confront the giant Machine Beast as his pipes billow more smoke.]

CONDOR:
Ryder...it's time...form the megazord.

RED NITRO RANGER:
(to the others)
Guys...megazord time!

ALL NITRO RANGERS:
Nitrozords...combine!

[The three rangers grab their gear shifters, and pull them all the way down, then floor it to achieve maximum RPMs. The three Nitrozords transform for megazord mode. The bear attaches onto the Condor, and the lion attaches to the bear.]

Nitro Megazord...Ready To Rumble!

[The megazord, standing and one hundred fifty feet tall, is ready for battle as it stares down the Machine Beast.]

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[The generals look at the megazord on the view-screen, and look very worried.]

YOGO:
I didn't know that they could do that!?

ARGO:
Well, Einstein! They're zords...what did you expect!?

[Yogo shoots a stern glance at him...like saying "shut up."]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Infernus continues to billow smoke, and blasts the megazord, which then charges at him.]

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
Victory Shield!

[The shield detaches from the back of the megazord, and comes to the right hand. The shield is used to block the toxic smoke.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
(talking into his Nitro Morpher)
Guys...we need to cut of the smoke.

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
(talking into his Nitro Morpher)
Let's tie those pipes up!

[The megazord grabs the pipes on Infernus' head to twist them shut. The pipes start to build up with pressure. The megazord uses it's shield to knock the Machine Beast away.]

Nitro Sword!

[The sword pops out of a compartment on the back of the megazord's left leg, and unfolds, then automatically lands in it's right hand.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Let's do it!

ALL NITRO RANGERS:
Grand Prix!

[The megazord's engine flames up, and races toward Infernus to slash him, then poses.]

INFERNUS:
Ha! No effect...uh...uh, oh!

[The Machine Beast falls over and explodes. The destruction clears the air, and the trio celebrates before heading back for the base.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[The three drivers are in the base, un-morphed, and stand in a row.]

ADAM PARK:
You three had your first taste of the Machine Empire...the first of what is expected to be many to come, as the war is not over yet. I saw potential in Jake and Matt, and decided to have two more morphers made...for them. I want you to recruit them.

ALL:
Yes, Sensei.

[The three bow in respect to Adam.]

ADAM PARK:
Now...go and have some time off. If you're needed, we'll call you.

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-NIGHT
[The machines are very angry.]

KING GASKET:
You three need to do better! I saw my father struggle against the Zeo Rangers over a decade ago...but they were inferior!

QUEEN ARCHERINA:
If you three fail to capture Earth this year, we'll scrap you all!

YOGO:
We'll do better, I swear!

METALIA AND ARGO:
Yeah!

KING GASKET:
We're going to our old Machine Skybase on the moon, so we can better plan the invasion. You are in charge down here.

YOGO:
Thank you, sire! Thank you!

KING GASKET:
Don't you dare fail me!

YOGO:
I vow to destroy the rangers and claim Earth...in the name of the Machine Empire!

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[The three generals are upset that their first attempt to take over the planet was thwarted by the VehAni's new allies...the Power Rangers.]

YOGO:
Those rangers!

METALIA:
How will we destroy them?

ARGO:
We'll take out their water supply.

[The chamber opens up to reveal a pipe-like Machine Beast.]

EXHAUSTOR:
I am Exhaustor! What is your bidding?

YOGO:
Go and pollute Angel Grove's supply of drinking water...start at it's source...destroy the dam!

EXHAUSTOR:
Yes, sir!

YOGO:
And don't fail!

[The Machine Beast departs the palace.]

EXT.-CITY-DOJO-DAY
[The three young adults are doing what they can to help at the dojo. Chloe has them working the counter at the juice bar area before opening.]

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
Now this is something I can enjoy...those classes I took at the culinary academy a while back are gonna come in handy here.

KEIKO OGAWA:
Brandon...this is a juice bar. We serve juice and protein drinks and smoothies.

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
(interjecting)
...and sandwiches.

RYDER SWANSON:
Sensei, how id you get this place?

ADAM PARK:
Well, my friend Ernie used to own this place when it was the Angel Grove Gym and Juice Bar. He kept it open for us high school students to use as a study hall and recreation center...he also let the school use it for functions. In two thousand six, I bought it, and returned it to it's glory.

[Jake and Matt arrive.]

RYDER SWANSON:
Jake...Matt!

MATT SANDOVAL:
We were told to come here by your Sensei.

RYDER SWANSON:
Yeah...see...um...we want you two to join us.

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
Join you?

[Ryder takes out his morpher and sets it on the counter.]

Are you a...?

RYDER SWANSON:
Yes...a Power Ranger.

KEIKO OGAWA:
The three of us are.

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
We need you to complete our team.

[Adam walks up behind the duo.]

ADAM PARK:
I'm Adam Park. They're speaking the truth, guys.

MATT SANDOVAL:
We'll think about it, Mister Park.

Power Rangers: Nitro Defenders...

[The trio perform some roundhouse kicks.]

..Let's go!

[The case lands in front of Jake and Matt. The two try to figure out what to do with it.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
(into his Nitro Morpher)
Alpha, any luck with the zords?

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[Alpha responds to the Red Ranger.]

ALPHA SIX:
Aye-yi-yi, Ryder! King Gasket tried to intercept the case, but it fell back to Angel Grove...I already put out a trace on it. Hold it! It's with Jake and Matt!

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[The generals are pleased, and somewhat bewildered as to why the zords have not arrived yet.]

YOGO:
(while watching the view-screen)
Where are the zords?

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[The rangers just look up at Exhaustor.]

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
Ryder...the zords aren't coming. What'll we do?

RED NITRO RANGER:
We call for the gear. If those fail, we use the Nitrolizers...we keep fighting! Nitro Gear!

[The three press the "G" symbol on their belt buckles to activate the weapons.]

ALL NITRO RANGERS:
Nitro Buster!

[The three form the cannon. The Blue Ranger inserts his Super Nitro Cell to activate it. The trio fire the weapon several times, but it has no effect on the huge monster, who blasts them to the ground.]

Whoa!

INT.-CITY-DOJO-DAY
[Jake and Matt arrive with the case, and go to Chloe.]

MATT SANDOVAL:
Chloe...are they here?

CHLOE WILCOX:
Who?

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
(quietly)
The rangers...we found something of theirs.

[Chloe sees and recognizes the case.]

CHLOE WILCOX:
Come with me, guys.

[The three enter the kitchen.]

Okay. (talking into her communicator) Alpha...this is Chloe. Teleport the case back to the Power Center. Guys...hold on.

[Jake and Matt hold onto the Nitro Case as it is being teleported out.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[Jake, Matt, and the case teleport in.]

ADAM PARK:
Welcome to the Power Center...home of the Power Rangers.

[The two look a little unsure of their surroundings.]

MATT SANDOVAL:
We're...ready.

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[The rangers continue to fire on Exhaustor with the Nitro Buster with little or no effect. Matt and Jake teleport into a nearby area, and commandeer a motorcycle.]

JAKE GARAEDIAN:
Come on...they need us!

[The monster turns his attention to the duo on the motorcycle, and blasts them. The duo then morph by shifting the lever on their Defender Shifters, then pressing a button.]

JAKE GARABEDIAN AND MATT SANDOVAL:
Start Up!

[The duo's suits form just like their Nitro Ranger counterparts' suits as they jump through the blast with the Nitro Case. The Green and Black Defender Rangers stand in front of the three Nitro Rangers.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Jake? Matt? Is that you?

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
Yeah, it's us!

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
We brought you the zords!

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
Excellent!

ALL DEFENDER RANGERS:

ALL RANGERS:

...Let's Go!

[Colored explosions erupt behind the quintet, then a massive fiery explosion erupts. The Nitro Rangers then grab their Nitro Casts, which then grow into the Nitrozords, and the Nitro Megazord is formed as the two Defender Rangers watch.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Let's turn off his tap!

[Exhaustor tries to pollute the megazord, but the Victory Shield is used to deflect the attack. The monster then uses his flex-pipe "and" to lasso the left leg of the megazord, which sends it flying into the ridge, and severely damages it.]

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
The bridge!

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
We got to let the cars pass!

RED NITRO RANGER:
Got it!

[The megazord moves into position to let cars pass over it's "collar-bone." Once the cars stop crossing, Exhaustor uses his "arms" to whip the megazord.]

EXHAUSTOR:
Whip it...whip it good!

[The whipping makes the megazord spark, and the rangers react.]

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
Let's whip him...Nitro Sword!

[The megazord moves away from the bridge just as Exhaustor damages it even more as a car stops just in time...it is teetering. Inside is a female adult and her male child.]

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
(noticing the car)
Matt, look! They're in trouble!

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
Let's go!

[The two Defender Rangers run towards the bridge as Exhaustor sprays the megazord to make it spark. The two Defender Rangers leap up to the car and free the two occupants, then get them to safety as the car falls off into the water below.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Grand Prix!

[The megazord races toward the monster.]

EXHAUSTOR:
I'm all washed up!

[The megazord performs it's finisher, which destroys Exhaustor, who disperses into bubbles.]

INT.-MECANICO ISLAND-DAY
[The three generals reel from another defeat.]

METALIA:
(opening a bottle of motor oil and downing it, then hiccups)
Not...(hic) again (hic)!

[Metalia finishes off the bottle, and wipes the excess from her mouth.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[The mother and son wave good-bye to the two Defender Rangers as the three Nitro Rangers exit the megazord and land on the ground...the five rangers celebrate before returning to the Power Center.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[Ryder, Brandon, and Keiko stand in a row across from Jake and Matt, who are standing side-by-side. Adam and Alpha stand between them.]

ADAM PARK:
Jake...Matt...welcome to the team.

MATT SANDOVAL:
Thank you.

RYDER SWANSON:
Come on, guys!

[All five come together and stack their right hands as Adam and Alpha watch proudly.]

ALPHA SIX:
Ah, just like old times...huh, Adam?

ADAM PARK:
Memories.

ALL:
(as they break formation)
Power Rangers!

INT.-CITY-DOJO-DAY
[Adam wraps up teaching a class, and goes to the counter to grab a bottle of water to drink. Chloe is there to hand him the bottle.]

CHLOE WILCOX:
Adam...when can I see the Power Center?

ADAM PARK:
Well...we can go now.

[The two go into a secluded area of the establishment to teleport out.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[Adam and Chloe teleport in. Adam shows her around the base. Meanwhile, Alpha is showing Jake and Matt the ropes.]

ALPHA SIX:
And this is our computer system, Global...the most sophisticated computer on the planet.

[All of a sudden, Global's sensor alarms rin out, and alert everyone to trouble in the forest nearby.]

MATT SANDOVAL:
(into his Defender Shifter)
Ryder...trouble in the forest near the base...we'll meet you there. (turning to Jake) Let's go!

EXT.-FOREST-DAY
[The two teleport in followed by the core three shortly thereafter. The quintet start to investigate.]

RYDER SWANSON:
So, what are we looking for?

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
Global's sensors detected alien activity in this area.

KEIKO OGAWA:
Machine Empire?

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
Of course it would be them. (pauses to look around) Well, it's too quiet out here.

[All of a sudden, an explosion rocks the area, sending smoke into the air.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[The explosion rocks the base. Adam, Chloe, and Alpha take cover as dust is knocked to the floor from the rafters, and the lights flicker. A few seconds later, the shaking stops]

ALPHA SIX:
Aye-yi-yi! That was wild!

ADAM PARK:
Everyone okay?

CHLOE WILCOX:
Was that an earthquake?

ALPHA SIX:
Global says that it was a blast.

ADAM PARK:
Since we're in a mountain, quakes are magnified.

EXT.-FOREST-DAY
[The five are covered in debris, but quickly dig out and recover. Suddenly Gearoids dig out of the ground as well, and confront the quintet.]

KEIKO OGAWA:
Gearoids!

RYDER SWANSON:
I'd say we wreck their day!

[The quintet ready their morphers, and insert their Nitro Cells.]

ALL:
Start Up!

[The suits form over the quintet.]

ALL RANGERS:
(posing)
Power Rangers: Nitro Defenders! Let's Go!

[The rangers battle the Gearoids in hand-to-hand combat. The Red Ranger un-holsters his Nitrolizer, and inserts his Super Nitro Cell. The Black Ranger tries to use his, but without a Super Nitro Cell, it won't work.]

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
Matt...our Nitrolizers won't work without a Super Nitro Cell.

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
(as a Gearoid approaches)
Oh, yes it will!

[The Black Ranger pistol-whips a Gearoid, who then falls.]

See?

[The three Nitro Rangers continue to battle the Gearoids. Meanwhile, the Black Ranger senses something deeper in the woods.]

Jake...I'm sensing something in the woods...it's about a hundred yards away.

[The Black Ranger starts running into the woods, followed soon after by the Green Ranger.]

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
(running after the Black Ranger through the underbrush)
Hey! Wait for me!

[Deeper in the forest, the two Defender Rangers get down on their hands and knees, and put their ears to the ground.]

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
Do you hear that, Jake?

[A Machine Beast, with shovels for a head, and hands is digging a tunnel.]

Let's use our weapons...

[The two press the "G" symbol on their belt buckles to activate their Nitro Gear...a green axe, and a black blaster.]

...Canine Taser!

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
Orca Axe!

[The two rangers use their Nitro Gear to fire at the ground to force the Machine Beast to the surface.]

DIGGER:
Hello, boys! It's Digger!

[Digger blasts the duo.]

Can you dig it!?

[The three Nitro Rangers leap in, and blast Digger with their Nitrolizers.]

ALL NITRO RANGERS:
Rush Attack!

DIGGER:
Sand Storm!

[Digger shovels dirt to cover the trio.]

Bye-bye!

[Digger digs a hole, and escapes as the Nitro Rangers dig out.]

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
(running to the trio with the Black Ranger to help them)
Are you guys okay!?

RED NITRO RANGER:
(looking towards the hole)
No...I can't dig it!

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[The villains talk.]

YOGO:
Just a few weeks into this campaign, and I am officially ticked off! It's time to declare war on the Earth civilization!

[The other two generals agree.]

EXT.-FOREST-DAY
[Later in the day, Jake and Matt prepare to repel down the hole left by Digger.]

MATT SANDOVAL:
We gotta see what Digger is up to.

JAKE GARAEDIAN:
Right...Alpha's using our morphers to take readings. Let's go.

[The two repel down. Jake sees the tunnel.]

Matt...look!

[The two gaze at the tunnel's length in shock and awe.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[The core team teleports into the base.]

RYDER SWANSON:
Alpha...have you seen Jake and Matt? We can't find them anywhere!

ADAM PARK:
(entering the room)
They went to explore the tunnel that Digger dug.

EXT.-FOREST-UNDERGROUND-DAY
[Still underground, Jake and Matt walk through the long tunnel, until they hear a voice and some strange noises from ahead...they belong to Digger and some Gearoids, who are in an open cave area. The Gearoids are placing and activating spikes into the ground. The duo watch for a minute or two before charging in.]

DIGGER:
(surprised)
Rangers!

MATT SANDOVAL:
That's us...

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
...Don't wear it out!

[The two battle the Gearoids for a bit.]

BOTH:
(preparing their Defender Shifters)
Start Up!

[The suits form over the duo, and they continue to battle the Gearoids, and Digger. The Green Ranger flies up to some scaffolding to take on three Gearoids as the Black Ranger battles Digger. The Green Ranger flips off of the scaffolding, performing three flips as he comes down.]

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
Orca Axe!

[The Green Ranger lands with his axe, and slices the control console.]

DIGGER:
You'll pay for that! Sand Storm!

[Digger tries to bury the two, but they are able to leap up into the air.]

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
Canine Taser!

[The Black Ranger blasts Digger, and makes him spark. The duo lands on the ground (as does Digger) who then recovers to blast them with his shovel hands to cause a small cave-in.]

DIGGER:
You two are pathetic! You don't even know what I'm up to!

[Digger departs as the two Defender Rangers dig out and recover.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[The three core team members relax as Keiko does some research on the computer.]

KEIKO OGAWA:
Hey guys...look what I found on the 'net! The new plaza is being dedicated today!

EXT.-FOREST-UNDERGROUND-DAY
[The two un-morph and try to figure out what to do next.]

BOTH:
Shutdown!

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
Now what, Matt?

MATT SANDOVAL:
We follow him.

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
How?

MATT SANDOVAL:
With good old fashion detective work...what's going on in the city today?

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
The new office plaza...it's being dedicated. There'll be important people there!

MATT SANDOVAL:
Good work, Jake...let's go!

EXT.-CITY-PLAZA-DAY
[A crowd gathers as city officials dedicate the plaza. The core three watch from a distance.]

SPEAKER:
Thank you...this new plaza will...

[The speaker's speech goes inaudible as the trio discuss their plan.]

RYDER SWANSON:
We'll watch over the festivities...just in case.

[Suddenly, Digger blasts through the ground in front of the stage, and emerges. The crowd runs away in fear.]

ALL THREE:
(preparing their morphers)
Start Up!

[The suits form over the trio. They then jump in to confront the Machine Beast.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Hold it right there, Digger!

DIGGER:
You three pests again!? Where are your two friends? Oh, yeah! I crushed them in a cave-in! Ha-ha-ha! Gearoids!

[The three Nitro Rangers look concerned...until their two teammates leap out of the hole.]

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
Hey, can't start the party without us!

ALL RANGERS:
(posing)
Power Rangers: Nitro Defenders! Let's Go!

ALL NITRO RANGERS:
Nitrolizers!

BOTH DEFENDER RANGERS:
Nitro Gear!

[The rangers use their weapons against Digger and the Gearoids. Digger digs up a huge piece of concrete, and hurls it at the quintet, who quickly dodge the boulder.]

RED NITRO RANGERS:
Matt...combo attack?

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
You're on!

[The Red and Black Rangers try a combination attack...the Black Ranger lays on his back, and sticks his feet up in the air so the Red Ranger can launch off of them to knock Digger back.]

ALL NITRO RANGERS:
Nitro Gear!

[The three press the "G" on their belt buckles, which activate the weapons. Once the weapons materialize from the chest logos, the trio combine them to form the Nitro Buster.]

Nitro Buster!

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
Inserting Super Nitro Cell!

[The cannon powers up.]

ALL NITRO RANGER:
Fire!

[Dagger falls down, and the Banki Energy courses through his body. Digger then recovers and grows.]

DIGGER:
(as he grows)
Can you dig me now!?

RED NITRO RANGERS:
(into his Nitro Morpher)
Alpha...we need the zords!

[The Nitro Casts appear in the Nitro Rangers' hands. The trio insert their Super Nitro Cells to activate the zords. Once the zords are grown, the rangers get in, and form the megazord.]

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
Nitro Sword!

[The two Defender Rangers watch as the megazord and Digger go blade-to-spade.]

DIGGER:
Sand Storm!

[Digger tries to bury the megazord.]

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
Victory Shield!

[The Megazord uses it's shield against Digger. The megazord then leaps into the air with the sword in it's right hand, and the shield in the left, and slices Digger's hand-spades off as it lands.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Time to dig your own grave...

ALL NITRO RANGERS:
...Grand Prix!

[The megazord performs it's finisher to destroy the Machine Beast. The quintet then celebrate.]

EXT.-CITY-SKYLINE-NIGHT
[Establishment shot of the sun setting.]

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-NIGHT
[The three villains vow to continue the fight and let off some steam.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-NIGHT
[The five young adults congregate in the base.]

ADAM PARK:
Good job as alway, rangers...well done!

[Suddenly, Global's sensors detect two unknown items approaching Earth. The five jump to attention.]

ALPHA SIX:
Aye-yi-yi!

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
What's going on?

RYDER SWANSON:
Those two blips are approaching Earth. We have to be ready for whatever they are.

EXT.-OUTER SPACE-NIGHT
[Two vehicles speed towards Earth...a green orca-shaped motorcycle, and a dog-shaped police car.]

[Two vehicles speed towards Earth...a green orca-shaped motorcycle, and a dog-shaped police car.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-NIGHT
[At sunrise, the young adults, Adam, and Alpha continue to watch the two blips approach Earth.]

ADAM PARK:
Alpha...any idea of what they are?

ALPHA SIX:
Aye-yi-yi! Wait a second! I'm detecting VehAni energies!

RYDER SWANSON:
We better get out there.

ADAM PARK:
Be careful, guys...we have to assume that the Machine Empire is detecting them too.

ALPHA SIX:
Global has projected their landing area...Angel Grove Pines.

RYDER SWANSON:
Let's go guys!

[The five young adults teleport out of the base.]

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[The villains are following the arriving blips as well.]

YOGO:
Those two thins are carrying VehAni energy signatures!

METALIA:
I'll have one of our Machine Beasts ready for them...Aerocide!

[A white spray bottle-like being emerges from the chamber.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Two streaks of light (one green, one purplish) hit a nearby mountain.]

EXT.-FOREST-DAY
[The five young adults look for the fallen VehAni. Matt and Ryder split of from Brandon, Keiko, and Jake. About a minute later, Ryder and Matt look around, and Matt locates his black Super Nitro Cell, and puts it into his Defender Shifter.]

CANINE:
Have you found Orca, yet?

MATT SANDOVAL:
Not that I know of. Our friends are searching for him right now.

EXT.-FOREST-QUARRY-DAY
[Elsewhere, the three others locate Orca just as he transforms into a Super Nitro Cell and a Nitro Cast. Jake puts the cell into his Defender Shifter to talk to Orca.]

ORCA:
Thank you. Now...retrieve my Nitro Cast, please.

AEROCIDE:
(picking up Orca's cast)
Hello, rangers! Looking for this!?

[Aerocide sprays is acid spray toward the trio, but he hits a rock as the rangers dodge the acid. The trio look at the rock decaying. The Machine Beast tries to use is acid to destroy the cast, but hits his wrist instead. The three laugh.]

I'll teach you!

[The Machine Beast blasts the three, but they insta-morph just in time. The three engage Aerocide in hand-to-hand combat.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Ryder and Matt look or Canine's cast, and come across a group of kids...one has the cast.]

RYDER SWANSON:
(trying to act cool)
Here...let me handle this.

MATT SANDOVAL:
(smirking)
Go right ahead.

[Ryder tries to persuade the kid to hand over the "toy car."]

RYDER SWANSON:
Excuse me...

KID:
(yelling)
Ah! A stranger!

[The kids run away. Matt continues to smirk at Ryder.]

RYDER SWANSON:
What's so funny!?

MATT SWANSON:
I taught those kids two months ago about stranger dangers.

[Meanwhile, back at the quarry, the three rangers continue to battle Aerocide.]

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
Power Punch!

[The Green Rangers' cuffs spin as he delivers a powerful punch. Aerocide goes down. The Blue and Yellow Rangers un-holster their Nitrolizers and insert their Super Nitro Cells, then open fire on the Machine Beast. Orca's cast goes flying. The rangers try to get it, but are blasted by Metalia. Aerocide stands between the rangers and the cast.]

METALIA:
You rangers are pathetic!

[Metalia picks up the cast as she laughs.]

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
No, way!

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
Give him back!

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
Yeah! It's not yours, you old lady!

METALIA:
(steaming with her face turning red)
How dare you!

[Metalia starts to overload as Aerocide tries to calm her down. The Green Ranger leaps up to Confront Metalia.]

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
Give that back!

METALIA:
You want something? How 'bout a whipping!?

[Metalia uses her whip against the Green Ranger as Aerocide sprays the Blue and Yellow Rangers...they go down in blue energy bolts as the acid foam fries their suits.]

AEROCIDE:
(going after the two rangers with his broom staff)
Clean-up time!

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Ryder and Matt tail the kids who have Canine's cast.]

EXT.-QUARRY-DAY
[Metalia continues to attack the Green Ranger with her whip as the other two are eaten by Aerocide's broom staff.]

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
Orca Axe!

[Before the Green Ranger can use his weapon, Metalia releases hot steam in his ace. Aerocide swings his broom to knock the other two rangers down.]

AEROCIDE:
Batter up!

[Suddenly, Aerocide is blasted by someone. The rangers look up to a rock formation to see the Red Ranger with his un-holstered Nitrolizer.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
I see you guys have your hands full!?

[The Red Ranger jumps down to join the others. The three call on their Nitro Gear by pressing the "G" symbol on their belt buckles.]

Condor Blade!

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
Lionizer!

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
Bear Pellet!

METALIA:
(seeing the Nitro Gear wielding rangers)
Oh, no!

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
Oh, yes!

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
Bear Striker!

[The Yellow Ranger sends the Bear Pellet to multi-strike Aerocide.]

Lion Maul!

[The Blue Ranger blasts Aerocide.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Road Slash!

[The Red Ranger slices Aerocide to knock him down.]

Nitro Buster time!

[The Three Nitro Rangers combine their weapons to form the Nitro Buster.]

ALL NITRO RANGERS:
Fire!

[Aerocide goes down, cackles in blue energy bolts.]

METALIA:
Aerocide...grow!

[Aerocide grows.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
(into his Nitro Morpher)
Alpha...send the zords!

[The three Nitro Casts arrive and grow, then form the Nitro Megazord.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Over a hundred M.E.G.s target the kid right in front of Matt. When he tries to save the kid, several more target him.]

MATT SANDOVAL:
Wha!? Oh, no!

[Matt prepares to morph.]

Start Up!

[The suit forms over Matt.]

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
(un-holstering his Nitrolizer)
Nitrolizer...insert cell!

[The Black Ranger targets the M.E.G.'s Gearoid pilot.]

CANINE:
Target acquired!

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
Fire!

[The blast from the Black Ranger's Nitrolizer hits the Gearoid between the eyes. Seconds later, the M.E.G. crashes.]

KID:
Sir, I think this belongs to you.

[The kid gives the cast to the Black Ranger.]

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
Thanks, kid.

EXT.-QUARRY-DAY
[The Green Ranger is tied up by Metalia's whip, and is being flung around back-and-forth like a rag-doll.]

METALIA:
You're not getting this cast!

[Metalia electrifies her whip to electrocute the Green Ranger.]

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
(un-holstering his Nitrolizer, and inserts his Super Nitro Cell)
Fire!

[The Green Ranger blasts Metalia, then rushes to take the cast, but she blasts him back as the Black Ranger jumps in.]

METALIA:
Next time, rangers!

[Metalia retreats. The two Defender Rangers show each other their Nitro Casts. They then see that the megazord is having problems against Aerocide and the M.E.G.s.]

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
They need help, Matt!

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
Then, let's help them, Jake!

[The two rangers insert their Super Nitro Cells into the rear of their Nitro Casts. Orca and Canine grow. The two rangers board their zords and get situated. They install their Defender Shifters onto the steering wheels. The
M.E.G.s fire on the two, but they dodge.]

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
Orca Slicer!

[The Defender Orcazord rotates, and slices some M.E.G.s to destroy them.]

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
Canine Blaster!

[The Defender Caninezord blasts some M.E.G.s with it's nose cannon. Meanwhile, the megazord is having problems against Aerocide. The two Defenderzords attack the Machine Beast.]

[The megazord performs it's finisher to destroy Aerocide. The five rangers and the five zords celebrate.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[At the base, Adam and Alpha are preparing to build something...Alpha is excited.]

ALPHA SIX:
Aye-yi-yi! This is so exciting, Adam! I can't wait!

ADAM PARK:
I am too, buddy...but not a word of this to anyone else...at least for now. This project has to be top secret.

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[The villains sulk in their defeat.]

METALIA:
I almost had that little green motorcycle!

ARGO:
Those rangers are getting stronger...so must we.

YOGO:
I agree!

[It is a busy, sunny day at the dojo. Classes are being taught in three separate areas of the building. Meanwhile, at the counter, a customer finishes is lunch, and pays.]

KEIKO OGAWA:
Okay, sir...that'll be four dollars and thirty-two cents.

CUSTOMER #1:
Can I pay with my debit card?

KEIKO OGAWA:
Yes, sir.

[The customer swipes is card, but the machine can't read it.]

CUSTOMER #1:
I don't under stand why it isn't working...but I do have enough cash, through.

[The customer pulls out a five dollar bill from is wallet to pay. Meanwhile, another customer enter while talking on her cell-phone, which un-expectantly dies.]

CUSTOMER #2:
Can you hear me? Hello!?

[The television is on by the counter.]

NEWS ANCHOR:
This is a special report from K-A-G News...there are numerous reports of malfunctions in the nation's electrical systems due to magnetism. NASADA tells us that there are no reports of solar flare activity on the sun at this time. We'll have more information as it becomes available.

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[The three Machine Empire generals scheme their next plan.]

METALIA:
So, this planet is being bothered by magnetic problems.

ARGO:
What can be causing it?

YOGO:
Me. I sent a Machine Beast with a magnetic personality to collect the rangers' arsenal, and to collect energy.

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[The magnetic activity is causing the base's computers to act up.]

ALPHA SIX:
Aye-yi-yi!

ADAM PARK:
(entering the base)
Alpha...secure the systems...they should be okay.

ALPHA SIX:
Right!

[Global's alarms ring out, and show the monster on the screen.]

ADAM PARK:
Great...a magnet monster!

ALPHA SIX:
I'm contacting the rangers.

ADAM PARK:
Good idea!

INT.-CITY-CITY HALL-DAY
[A Machine Beast with a large magnet for a head, called CLEPTOMAG uses his magnetic waves to create chaos with people's cell-phones, watches, and other electronic devices. He then attracts a metal sign to send it flying over the heads of the citizens, who flee. The monster then attracts a car through the window, which then crashes and erupts in flames. Outside, Ryder, Brandon, Keiko, and Matt arrive.]

EXT.-CITY-CITY HALL-DAY
[The team sees the destruction that the monster caused.]

RYDER SWANSON:
Look! There he is!

ALL:

Start Up!

[The suits form over the four young adults.]

Power Rangers!

RED NITRO RANGER:
Nitrolizers!

[The quartet un-holster their sidearms, and insert their Super Nitro Cells, but Cleptomag energizes his magnets. The four have a tough time holding onto them.]

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
His magnet's too strong!

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
I don't know how much longer I can hold on!

RED NITRO RANGER:
Guys...I've got an idea!

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[The generals are pleased.]

INT.-CITY-DOJO-DAY
[Jake arrives for his shift at the juice bar. Chloe approaches him.]

JAKE GARAEDIAN:
Hi, Chloe! Where's everyone?

CHLOE WILCOX:
Look at the T-V.

[Jake sees the news footage of the battle.]

EXT.-CITY-CITY HALL-DAY
[The rangers are still struggling with the electro-waves.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Guys...convert your Nitrolizers to Baton Mode, and fly at him.

ALL:
(converting their weapons)
Right!

[The quartet fly to Cleptomag, and strike him. The monster is defeated for now. Just then, Jake arrives unmorphed.]

Yeah!

RED NITRO RANGER:
Jake! Where were you? Didn't you get the call!?

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
Yo, Ryder...chill! It's kinda my fault. I told him to get some rest so he can work the night shift at the dojo.

[The Blue Ranger goes to give Jake a pep talk.]

Shutdown!

[The suit vanishes from Brandon.]

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
Hey, Jake...you okay?

JAKE GARAEDIAN:
Yeah...I'll be fine. I've been trying to fit in with you guys so hard.

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
And you're doing fine. Don't worry about Ryder...he didn't know.

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[Cleptomag reports to the generals.]

YOGO:
You had them! Metalia...

METALIA:
I think he needs more power.

ARGO:
What'cha thinking?

[Cleptomag enters, then exits the chamber with upgraded components.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Cleptomag returns. He then uses his electromagnetic powers to cause a city-wide blackout.]

EXT.-CITY-DOJO-NIGHT
[The quintet approach the doors when Alpha contacts them.]

voice of ALPHA SIX:
(breaking up)
Rangers...Cleptomag...return...blackout.

[The transmission cuts out.]

RYDER SWANSON:
Brandon...Jake...go to the Power Center...check on things. Everyone else, let's go.

EXT.-CITY-NIGHT
[The rangers arrive on scene and confront Cleptomag. The Blue Ranger arrives.]

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
I think Jake can handle the Power Center on his own. Let's call on our gear!

[The Red, Blue, and Yellow Rangers bust out their gear, but Cleptomag takes them right out of their hands.]

YELLOW NITRO RANGERS:
Our weapons!

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-NIGHT
[Jake arrives to a darkened base...only emergency lights aluminate the room.]

ALPHA SIX:
Jake!

JAKE GARAEDIAN:
Everything okay here?

ALPHA SIX:
Yes. Back-up systems are starting to come online now.

JAKE GARAEDIAN:
Good. I need to get to the battle.

ALPHA SIX:
Jake...the Orca and Canine are able to combine with the Nitro Megazord.

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
Thanks for the tip!

[Jake teleports out.]

EXT.-CITY-NIGHT
[The Green Ranger speeds to the battle in a construction vehicle (wrecking ball), only to find his comrades being pulled toward Cleptomag.]

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
Hey, got a present for 'ya!

[The Green Ranger moves the truck into position. Cleptomag tries to attract himself to the wrecking ball, but the Green Ranger releases a cable to send the Machine Beast into a wall, to be sandwiched in between the wall and the ball.]

Ooh! That's gonna leave a mark!

CLEPTOMAG:
(recovering)
Come here, rangers!

[Cleptomag attracts the rangers (except for the Green Ranger) toward him.]

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
Oh, no you don't! Orca Axe!

[The Green Ranger flies ahead with his weapon, and slices the Machine Beast three ways. Cleptomag sparks with blue energy bolts, and falls. The rangers recover.]

DEFENDER RANGERS:
Defender Buster!

[The Green Ranger inserts his Super Nitro Cell, and both fire the weapon. Cleptomag is defeated. The Banki Energy starts flowing through the Machine Beast's body, which recovers him, and makes him grow.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
(into his Nitro Morpher)
Alpha...we need the zords!

[The already giant zords approach the quintet...they board them.]

Let's take him down!

{Five-in-one screen}

ALL RANGERS:
Right!

[The five zords attack Cleptomag to make him spark.]

ALL NITRO RANGERS:
Nitrozords...combine!

[The Nitro Rangers put their zords into gear to form the megazord.]

Nitro Megazord...Ready To Rumble!

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
Nitro Sword!

[The compartment on the back leg of the lion opens up, and the sword pops out, and folds out. Before it lands in the right hand of the megazord, the Machine Beast attracts it.]

CLEPTOMAG:
I'll take that!

ALL NITRO RANGERS:
{three-in-one screen}
No, way!

CLEPTOMAG:
(charging the megazord)
How 'bout a taste of your own medicine!?

[Cleptomag uses the Nitro Sword against the megazord, striking it three times in the left arm, damaging it.]

CONDOR:
Ryder...the left arm is out of commission.

RED NITRO RANGER:
(bracing for an impact, annoyed)
Great!

[Cleptomag comes in for another blow, but Orca and Canine come in, and blast the Machine Beast.]

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
Orca Cutter!

[Orca tail slices Cleptomag, and knocks him down.]

Guys...let's combine! Initiate Cycle Mode!

ALL RANGERS (except Black):
Nitro Megazord...Cycle Mode...

[The megazord's left arm folds up, and Orca attaches itself to the shoulder joint.]

...Ready To Rumble!

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
You're going down!

ALL RANGERS (except Black):
Tail Slash!

[The megazord slashes Cleptomag several times. The Machine Beast loses the sword, which flings away and stick into the ground, blade first. Cleptomag falls, and explodes. The Five rangers celebrate in their cockpits.]

ALL RANGERS:
Yeah!

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-NIGHT
[The villains look depressed as another defeat looms over them.]

INT.-CITY-PARK-DAY
[As the sun rises on a new day, Adam joins the quintet in the park.]

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
Hey, Adam...Brandon...thanks for the pep talks.

ADAM PARK:
Anytime, Jake.

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
Yeah.

ADAM PARK:
You all better go home and get some rest...it's been a long day.

[The sextet enjoy the sunrise as day breaks over the city.]

EXT.-CITY-PARK-DAY
[The ranger team is in the park, enjoying a nice day. After a bit, Ryder and Keiko go for a walk. Keiko seems a bit down.]

RYDER SWANSON:
Keiko...everything okay?

KEIKO OGAWA:
Sort of...it just seems like I'm stuck in a rut. Being a ranger is great and all, but I don't have time for all the normal stuff...like dating.

[Ryder falls back a bit as Keiko continues at her current pace...it seems that Ryder has a crush on her. Soon, Keiko stops in her tracks as she hears a flute being played. Both investigate, and see an Asian male, named KENJI YOMA playing a two-foot long silver flute.]

Oh, my...he's good!

[A microphone-like item pops out of the bushes, and starts to steal the flute's musical soundwaves. The flute player notices that something is wrong, and looks at his instrument. The suspected individual of the theft makes himself known...LOUDMOUTH...a Machine Beast with a boom-box head, and a body of speakers, talking with a high-pitched squeaky voice.]

LOUDMOUTH:
Static Blast!

[Loudmouth tries to blast the flute player, but Keiko leaps in to save him.]

KEIKO OGAWA:
Noooooo!

[Both Keiko and Kenji land on the ground as Ryder morphs off-screen.]

RYDER SWANSON:
(preparing his morpher)
Start Up!

[The Red Ranger is heard in the background battling Loudmouth.]

KEIKO OGAWA:
Are you okay, sir?

KENJI YOMA:
Yes...yes...I'm fine...thank you! I'm Kenji...what's your name?

KEIKO OGAWA:
My name is Keiko...look, we should get to safety...come on!

[Keiko purposely gets separated from Kenji and morphs.]

Start Up!

[The suit forms over Keiko. The Yellow Ranger joins the Red Ranger in battling Loudmouth. Kenji watches from behind a tree.]

LOUDMOUTH:
Ah, another one! Well, it still won't be enough to defeat me!

[The two rangers battle Loudmouth, but have a rough time. The Machine Beast then uses his microphone stand-like staff to knock them down.]

Static Blast!

[Loudmouth's soundwaves blast the duo.]

RED NITRO RANGER AND YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
(reacting)
Whoa!

[The other three rangers leap in (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers-style) to help their comrades.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
'Bout time you guys showed up!

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
Hey, better late than never! Here...Alpha created these for us!

[The Blue Ranger holds out his hand revealing five magnetic Audio Mufflers. The five install the devices on the sides of their helmets, and get ready to battle.]

LOUDMOUTH:
Really!?

RED NITRO RANGER:
What!?

LOUDMOUTH:
Squelch Wave!

[Loudmouth blasts the rangers with his own mix of music, but it has no effect on them.]

ALL RANGERS:
(un-holstering their sidearms)
Nitrolizers!

[The team aim their blasters at Loudmouth, and fire.]

Fire!

[Loudmouth goes down...all of his speakers are broken. He struggles to recover, then retreats. The stolen soundwaves return to their origin, including Kenji's flute. Kenji then approaches the rangers.]

KENJI YOMA:
Is it safe, rangers?

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
(as she and the others holster their sidearms)
Yes, sir...it's safe.

KENJI YOMA:
I gotta find that girl...she saved me earlier!

[Kenji leaves the area.]

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
Shutdown!

[The suit vanishes from Keiko's body.]

KEIKO OGAWA:
I gotta catch up to him. He might have some tips on defeating the monster. I'll see you guys later.

[Keiko runs to catch up with Kenji as the four remaining rangers watch her leave.]

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
Don't worry, Ry...she can take care of herself.

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[Loudmouth reports back to the generals...he is furious!]

LOUDMOUTH:
Those ...those...those rangers! They ruined my precious speakers!

ARGO:
Get over it!

YOGO:
I think he needs an upgrade.

METALIA:
I agree!

[Argo walks Loudmouth to the chamber, the Machine Beast enters, and Argo throws the switch.]

INT.-CITY-RESTAURANT-NIGHT
[Keiko and Kenji sit in a fine dining establishment for dinner.]

EXT.-CITY-RESTAURANT-NIGHT
[Ryder and Matt look through a plate-glass window to spy on Keiko and her "date."

RYDER SWANSON:
I can't tell what they're talking about.

MATT SANDOVAL:
I can...they're talking about earlier...talking about the monster.

RYDER SWANSON:
Are they talking romantically?

MATT SANDOVAL:
Nah...just small-talk...about the monster attack earlier. You have a crush on her, don't 'ya?

RYDER SWANSON:
How'd you? Nevermind. Where'd you learn to read lips?

MATT SANDOVAL:
During my last year at the academy.

RYDER SWANSON:
Come on...let's go.

[The two depart the area.]

INT.-CITY-DOJO-DAY
[The next day, the guys are at the juice bar counter when Keiko enters in a happy mood.]

ADAM PARK:
Well, someone's in a good mood.

KEIKO OGAWA:
Yeah, the man I saved yesterday treated me to dinner as a way of saying thanks.

ADAM PARK:
You didn't tell him...

KEIKO OGAWA:
About me being a ranger? No, way!

EXT.-CITY-SHIDAX PLAZA-DAY
[The Machine Beast takes the music from the outdoor sound system and uses it against the citizens, and blows up a building.]

LOUDMOUTH:
Hello, Angel Grove...I'm back, so let's get into the groove!

[Brandon, Jake, and Matt race to the scene, followed shortly by Ryder.]

RYDER SWANSON:
Hey, Loudmouth! You're disturbing the peace!

LOUDMOUTH:
With my beautiful sounds, I deserve an award!

RYDER SWANSON:
I'll give you an award! Ready guys!?

ALL:
(readying their morphers)
Start Up!

[The suits form over the quartet.]

LOUDMOUTH:
Neat trick!

RED NITRO RANGER:
Activate your Audio Mufflers!

[The four activate them.]

LOUDMOUTH:
My turn...Static Blast!

[Loudmouth's soundwaves are able to penetrate the Audio Mufflers. The rangers are blown backward.]

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
(as the four struggle to recover)
That...was brutal!

ALL RANGERS:
Nitrolizers!

[The our rangers un-holster their sidearms, and insert their Super Nitro Cells.]

Fire!

[The lasers from the sidearms blast the Machine Beast.]

LOUDMOUTH:
Nice try! Try my newest mix...Squelch Wave!

[A jumbled group of musical notes are fired at the quartet. The blast knocks them out of morph, and roll on the ground. When they stop rolling, they're on their backs, and clench their chests. The four struggle to recover as the Machine Beast stalks them...he wants to use the four-pointed claw-end of his staff to destroy the un-morphed rangers. He is about to attack, but Keiko arrives to interrupt him.]

KEIKO OGAWA:
Turn that racket down!


ALL RANGERS:
Keiko!

LOUDMOUTH:
(turning around to face Keiko)
Any requests?

KEIKO OGAWA:
Sorry...your system is out-dated! You don't play my favorite CD's!

[Keiko prepares her morpher.]

Start Up!

[The suit "flash-forms" over Keiko's body.]

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
(as she un-holsters her sidearm, and inserts her Super Nitro Cell)
How about a taste of my Nitrolizer!?

[The Yellow Ranger gets ready to aim and fire her sidearm at Loudmouth.]

LOUDMOUTH:
Static Blast!

[Loudmouth uses his soundwaves to attack, but the Yellow Ranger dodges, then shoots him in the foot with her Nitrolizer.]

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
Nitro Gear!

[The Yellow Ranger presses the "G" on her belt buckle. Her chest symbol glows to produce her Bear Pellet.]

Bear Pellet! Go on!

[The Yellow Ranger sends her weapon to attack Loudmouth. The Bear Pellet races up and down the Machine Beast's body, making him spark, then makes him roll toward a planter box. While Loudmouth recovers, the Yellow Ranger goes to check on the others.]

You guys okay!?

RYDER SWANSON:
Yeah.

[Ryder sees Loudmouth rapidly recovering.]

ALL:
(preparing to morph)
Start Up!

[The suits "flash-form" over the remaining rangers.]

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
We've had enough of your bad taste in music!

ALL RANGERS:
(posing)
Power Rangers...Nitro Defenders! Let's Go!

LOUDMOUTH:
Bring it!

ALL RANGERS:
Gladly! Nitro Gear!

[The other four rangers presses the "G" on their belt buckles. The chest symbols glow to produce the weapons.]

Let's bring them together!

Defender Buster!

[The Nitro Rangers and the Defender Rangers stand side-by-side.]

YELLOW NITRO RANGER AND BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
(while inserting their Super Nitro Cells)
Inserting Super Nitro Cells!

[The two cannons power up.]

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
Time for you to face the music, Loudmouth!

ALL RANGERS:
Fire!

[The rangers fire the two cannons. The energies combine to knock the Machine Beast off the terrace. The rangers celebrate a bit.]

LOUDMOUTH:
Industrial Revolution!

[The Banki Energy flows through the Machine Beast's body...he grows, then destroys a building to the horror of the quintet.]

ALL RANGERS:
Oh, no!

RED NITRO RANGER:
(into his morpher)
Alpha! Send the zords!

voice of ALPHA SIX:
You got it!

[The already grown zords approach the team, who enter them.]

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
(while pressing a couple buttons)
Firing...Mane Missiles!

[The roof-top missile battery opens up, and fires missiles up at the giant Machine Beast, but have little effect.]

NITRO RANGERS:
Nitrozords...Combine!

[The three zords join together to form the megazord.]

Nitro Megazord...Ready To Rumble!

LOUDMOUTH:
So, that's how you wanna play!?

[Loudmouth charges at the megazord, but runs into it's fist instead.]

NITRO RANGERS:
Nitro Sword!

[The sword emerges from it's compartment on the back of the leg, unfolds, and lands in the megazord's right hand.]

Victory Shield!

LOUDMOUTH:
Static Blast!

[Loudmouth's attack is powerful enough to make the megazord go down, despite it trying to use the shield to block it.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
(yelling into his morpher)
Remind me to get my hearing checked!

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
(yelling)
What!?

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
(yelling)
Huh!?

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
(reaching into the case to pull his cast)
Canine...let's go!

[The Black Ranger inserts his Super Nitro Cell into Canine.]

Cast Off!

[The Canine cast leaps off of the Black Ranger's arm and grows. The megazord, covered in debris tries to recover. Loudmouth charges at the megazord with his staff. Canine rushes in, and blasts the Machine Beast.]

(the Black Ranger flips switches)
Canine Blaster!

[Loudmouth's staff gets blasted, and goes flying. Canine fires again as the megazord kicks the Machine Beast to buy some time for it to get up.]

Defender Caninezord...Combine!

[Canine's rear axel detaches, and re-attaches to the roof to form a sniper scope, then the zord attaches onto the right shoulder joint as the right arm folds up.]

ALL (except Green):
Nitro Patrol Megazord...Ready To Rumble!

[The megazord aims the blaster at Loudmouth.]

LOUDMOUTH:
Static Blast!

BLACK NITRO RANGER:
Nitro Blast!

[Both sides fire at each other, but the yellow energy pellets from the megazord overpower the soundwaves from the Machine Beast, who sparks, and collapses to his knees.]

ALL (except Green):
Target locked!

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
I've gotcha in my sights!

ALL (except Green):
Nitro Blast...Target Shot!

[The megazord fires about six energy bullets, to make Loudmouth cackle in red energy bolts, then explodes. The megazord holds the "smoking gun" to it's mouth and blows the smoke away. The rangers celebrate.]

ALL RANGERS:
Yeah!

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[The generals are mad as usual.]

YOGO:
Another failure!

YOGO:
Well then...you're up next! Destroy them!

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[The team is getting their hearing checked by Chloe on advice from Adam.]

CHLOE WILCOX:
(to Adam)
Well, the good news is no permanent damage to their hearing. Although, the ringing in their heads will stop in a few hours.]

[The five are on infirmary tables (sitting on the edge) trying to clear their heads.]

ADAM PARK:
And the bad news?

CHLOE WILCOX:
I won't have any counter help at the dojo for the after-school rush.

GLOBAL:
One detected is of Machine Empire design.

ALPHA SIX:
A Machine Beast! And the other one?

GLOBAL:
Unknown. Sensors cannot identify.

ALPHA SIX:
I'm contacting Adam.

[Alpha presses a few buttons.]

voice of ADAM PARK:
(sounding tired)
Go ahead, Alpha?

ALPHA SIX:
There are two beings detected under the city...one is a Machine Beast!

voice of ADAM PARK:
I'm on my way. Don't contact the rangers just yet...continue tracking them.

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Later in the morning, the un-morphed rangers are the park near a radio tower. Suddenly, the upper two-thirds of the tower rapidly rusts and falls over.]

KEIKO OGAWA:
(noticing the tower)
Guys! Look!

RYDER SWANSON:
There's got to be people over there...let's go!

[The rangers {who insta-morphed off-screen} arrive on scene, and immediately start helping the citizens. There is a orange-ish hue of rusted iron in the air.]

HANNAH:
Mom!

[Hannah starts running toward her mother.]

HANNAH'S MOTHER:
(with a blood-curdling yell)
Hannah!

[Hannah trips and falls is the sand (she is not injured). Parts of the tower start to fall around her.]

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
Hannah!

[The Black Ranger gets ready to fire his Nitrolizer, but the Green Ranger uses his Nitrolizer in Baton Mode to slice the debris away, then checks on the mother and daughter.]

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
Are you two okay!?

[In the background, the two citizens tank the Green Ranger, then leave the area while the Blue Ranger investigates the rust on the girders.]

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
Hey, Ryder! Come check this out!

RED NITRO RANGER:
What is it, Brandon?

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
This rust is peculiar...it does not appear to be real rust.

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
It's got to be the work of the Machine Empire.

[The Red Ranger's morpher beeps.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
(into his morpher)
Go for Ryder...

voice of ALPHA SIX:
Rangers...the two beings have split up.

RED NITRO RANGER:
(into his morpher)
Beings?

voice of ALPHA SIX:
Global detected them this morning.

[The Nitro Rangers and Defender Rangers split up as the city's emergency services arrive. Un-Morphed, the three Nitro Rangers see another tower go to rust and fall apart.]

EXT.-CITY-PARK-LAKE-DAY
[The two un-morphed Defender Rangers investigate activity near the lake. Bored, Jake skips a rock into the lake. A minute or so later, a huge being leaps out of the water, showering the two with lots of water.]

(both gasp in shock, then prepare their morphers)
Start Up!

[The suits form over the duo.]

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
(into his morpher)
Alpha...we need the zords!

[The zord case is teleported to the Defender Rangers. Both remove their casts from it, insert their Super Nitro Cells.]

DEFENDER RANGERS:
Cast Off!

[The zords leap off their arms, and grow. Both rangers get in.]

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
What is that thing!? It's huge!

CANINE:
Orca and I are detecting VehAni energies!

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
It's a zord!?

ORCA:
Not just any VehAni...it's Gator from the legendary Gear Clan of Legendary VehAni warriors!

CANINE:
He's a wild one!

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
Let's tame that gator!

EXT.-FOREST-DAY
[A large, long orange VehAni moves through the trees. Canine blasts at it, but it charges both zords as they take defensive maneuvers.]

(trying to talk some sense into Gator)
Gator..listen...

[Gator barrels right through them causing sparks.]

EXT.-CITY-PARK-DAY
[Ryder, Brandon, and Keiko wonder what to do next as they stand near the Carrington Fountain. Suddenly, the Machine Beast, TANKOR leaps out of the fountain.

RED NITRO RANGER:
That rust is spreading fast! Abandon...

[Before the rangers can escape, they are thrown out. They land on the ground and de-morph with their rusted casts landing nearby.]

TANKOR:
Aww...did I hurt your megazord!?

EXT.-FOREST-DAY
[Gator continues to bother Canine and Orca.]

GATOR:
What are you two doing!?

CANINE:
The Machine Empire attacked Machia...turned it into a polluted wasteland...

ORCA:
...And now they're here...on Earth

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
That's right. Condor, Lion, and Bear came here and chose three humans to help them...

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
...then Orca and Canine arrived and we partnered up with them. All of us humans became Power Rangers.

[Gator doesn't listen, and resumes his attacks.]

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
Look! The rangers and you VehAni are working together to repel the Machine Empire!

Aww! Poor 'lil rangers! I hurted your 'lil toys! (laughs)

[Tankor tries to step on the trio, but they quickly move out of the way.]

ALL:
Whoa!

EXT.-FOREST-DAY
[Gator relents.]

GATOR:
Okay. That thing I was chasing...it's a Machine Beast.

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
...And our friends are battling it in the city right now.

GATOR:
Well then...hop on and let's go!

[Canine and Orca get on top of Gator, and depart for the city.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Tankor stalks the trio.]

RYDER SWANSON:
What's that noise?

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
It's Jake and Matt!

[The three recover.]

GATOR:
Defender Gatorzord!

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[The three generals see the three other zords.]

METALIA:
Since when did they get a new zord!?

ARGO:
(pressing some buttons)
Tankor! Rust 'em!

YOGO:
Release the M.E.G.s!

[Several hundred M.E.G.s are released from their hangars.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[The M.E.G.s flood the sky, and swarm the three zords. Orca and Canine leap off of Gator's back and use the Orca Slicer and the Canine Blaster to quickly take care of them. Gator races through the street to chomp down on six
M.E.G.s.]

GATOR:
Mmm! M.E.G.s are my favorite food! Of course, so is everything else!

[The un-morphed Nitro Rangers are pleased, but Tankor isn't.]

Jake...Matt...we need to combine!

GREEN DEENDER RANGER:
You have a megazord function!?

GATOR:
Yes...Initiate the Defender Megazord.

DEFENDER RANGERS AND GATOR:
Defenderzords...Combine!

[The Orca and Canine attach to the sides of Gator after he forms the rest of the body.]

Defender Megazord...Ready To Rumble!

[The megazord stares down Tankor. Ryder then calls up to the Defender Rangers using his morpher.]

RYDER SWANSON:
Guys...watch out for his hands...one of them fires a laser beam that rusted our zords!

voice of BLACK DEFENDER RANER:
Thanks for the tip, Ryder...we'll be on guard.

[Tankor runs toward the megazord, then stops short and runs back. The Machine Beast tries to attack.]

TANKOR:
Rust Beam!

[The megazord moves out of the way.]

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
Canine Blaster!

[The megazord uses Canine to fire several energy pellets at Tankor.]

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
Orca Cutter!

[The megazord uses Orca's tail to slice Tankor three times.]

Orca Storm!

[The Orca spins around to produce a horizontal tornado to knock Tankor down.]

GATOR:
Time to finish him off!

DEFENDER RANGERS AND GATOR:
Defender...Grand Prix!

[Gator's mouth opens. The megazord uses Canine then Orca to slash, then Gator chomps.]

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
You're outta gas!

[The megazord turns around as Tankor falls and explodes.]

ALL:
Yeah!

[On the ground, the quintet continue to celebrate.]

DEFENDER RANGERS:
Shutdown!

[The suits vanish from Jake and Matt's body. Gator then reverts to cast form...Matt picks him up.]

JAKE GARAEDIAN:
(stroking Gator's snout)
Aww, he's so cute.

MATT SANDOVAL:
(holding up Gator's cell and cast)
Looks like we got a new ally.

RYDER SWANSON:
That's great...because our three casts are out of commission. We better get back to the Power Center...see if Adam can do anything.

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[Later in the day, the three rusted casts sit on a work table.]

RYDER SWANSON:
(as Adam and Alpha scan the casts)
Anything yet, guys?

ADAM PARK:
No...I haven't seen anything like this before. I may have to call in a favor.

MATT SANDOVAL:
In the meantime, Jake and I will handle the zord fights.

[The team looks down at the rusted casts with a depressed look on their faces.]

INT.-CITY-DOJO-NIGHT
[The team, feeling tired and a bit down, cleans up the dojo after closing. They discuss the last battle.]

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
Man! With our zords down, what are we gonna do if they go big?

KEIKO OGAWA:
I don't know, Brandon...I don't know.

[Adam enters the main floor area from his office.]

ADAM PARK:
I called up an old friend for a favor...he'll be here tomorrow. Let's all go home and get some sleep. It's been a long day...and tomorrow's gonna be even longer.

INT.-CITY-DOJO-DAY
[The next day, Ryder pre-occupies his mind by helping Adam teach a class, as Matt teaches a self-defense class nearby. The other three work the juice bar counter. A man, viewed from the back, enters the dojo, and takes in the familiar surroundings before approaching the counter.]

MAN:
Excuse me...is Adam Park here?

KEIKO OGAWA:
(pointing out Adam)
Yes, sir...he's right over there.

[The man turns to look, and sees Adam.]

MAN:
Thank you.

[The man walks to the area where Adam and Ryder are teaching. At the counter, the three staff members wonder about the man.]

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
I wonder if that's the guy who Adam called last night?

[The man arrives at the mat, and greets Adam...the two trade a handshake and a hug as they reunite.]

ADAM PARK:
Class...this is a good friend of mine...he and I have been through some rough times together...this is...

{The camera pans around to the front of the man to reveal is identity.}

...Doctor William Cranston...a biology teacher at Angel Grove High. Class...I'll see you next time...dismissed.

[Adam dismisses the class, and escorts Billy into his office, and shuts the door. Ryder goes to the counter to talk to the others, is inquires about Billy.]

RYDER SWANSON:
Who is that guy? Is he the one that Adam called?

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
We think so.

[Chloe overhears the conversation as Matt joins in. Chloe explains who the man is.]

CHLOE WILCOX:
His name is Doctor William Cranston...a biology teacher at the high school. To his friends and family, he goes by Billy...and...he's a former Power Ranger.

[The mention of Billy being a former ranger perks up the ears of the quintet.]

KEIKO OGAWA:
Whoa!

[The ground begins to shake...another Machine Beast is on the loose.]

RYDER SWANSON:
Let's go, guys!

[The five employees leave the dojo for the battle.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[A giant-sized green drilling machine (DRILLOBIT) is terrorizing the citizens as they flee in fear. The five un-morphed rangers race through the streets, and arrive to confront the beast.]

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
That dude's huge!

RYDER SWANSON:
Come on, guys...we better ranger up!

ALL:
(taking out and preparing their morphers)
Start Up!

{Five-in-one screen of the suits forming}

Power Rangers!

[Drillobit sees the rangers and falls to his knees and goes to sleep. The rangers are dumbfounded.]

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
Now what!?

[The three generals teleport in, and land on a catwalk above the rangers.]

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
You had to ask.

YOGO:
Hello, power pests!

[The five rangers turn around to face the three generals.]

Meet your doom!

[Yogo fires a blast at the rangers from his staff. The rangers fall, and struggle to recover as the generals leap down to the ground.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Nitrolizers!

[The five un-holster their sidearms, and insert their Super Nitro Cells. The rangers then convert their weapons to Baton Mode, and charge at the generals.]

METALIA:
So, that's how you wanna play!?

[The three generals blast the rangers, create sparks. The rangers then battle the three...the Red and Black Rangers battle Yogo...the Blue and Green Rangers battle Argo...and the Yellow Ranger battle Metalia. The villains gain the upper hand, and the rangers do not fare so well.]

ALL RANGERS:
(while pressing the "G" symbol on their belt buckles)
Nitro Gear!

[The chest logos glow while the weapons materialize.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Condor Blade!

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
Lionzooka!

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
Bear Pellet!

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
Orca Axe!

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
Canine Taser!

NITRO RANGERS:
(while combining their gear)
Nitro Buster!

DEFENDER RANGERS:
(while combining their gear)
Defender Buster!

ALL RANGERS:
Fire!

[The generals repel the dual blasts. The generals then put their weapons together to fire a blast from their weapons...the rangers are literally blown away.]

ARGO:
And I thought they were the Power Rangers!?

[The three generals laugh at the rangers' defeat.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-NIGHT
[The battered and bruised rangers retreat to the base and recover while un-morphed. Ryder takes the loss hard.]

RYDER SWANSON:
(angerly)
Aargh! We lost! I can't believe we were defeated!

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
Calm down, Ryder! We haven't faced the three generals all together before.

KEIKO OGAWA:
He's right.

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
Alpha...is Gator re-charged yet?

ALPHA SIX:
I'm afraid not. With his size and power, he takes longer.

[The three un-morphed Nitro Rangers sit at a table to use a solvent to try and get rid of the rust on their casts...it as little effect.]

RYDER SWANSON:
Ah, it's no use!

[Ryder throws his rag onto the table in disgust, and gets up.]

KEIKO OGAWA:
Don't give up, Ryder...our casts need us.

[Adam and Billy teleport in.]

ADAM PARK:
Guys...Billy's gonna help us out here for a bit.

[Billy goes to the base's computer, and starts to work on a way to repair the damaged zords.]

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
We're gonna stay for a bit longer, then go get some sleep.

ADAM PARK:
Very well. Jake...Matt...are you two up for a stakeout?

MATT SANDOVAL:
(eagerly)
Yes!

EXT.-CITY-NIGHT
[At the site of the sleeping Machine Beast, Gearoids guard the slumbering Drillobit. Jake and Matt spy on the activities. When the generals arrive to check up on him, the two defenders hide.]

YOGO:
As we speak, Drillobit is absorbing the Earth's magma to use as a weapon. If he is awakened too early, the magma will spew like a volcano...in the middle of the city!

[Jake and Matt look at each other in shock, then ready their morphers.]

JAKE GARABEDIAN AND MATT SANDOVAL:
Start Up!

[The suits "flash-form" over the duo. The two rangers then charge into battle against the Gearoids in front of the generals.]

METALIA:
Gearoids...get them!

[The two Defender Rangers and the Gearoids battle through the night until morning.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[The Defender Rangers defeat the Gearoids, then turn their attention to the generals. Metalia uses her whip to strike the two rangers...they fall and roll.]

DEFENDER RANGERS:
Nitro Gear!

[The two rangers put their weapons together.]

Defender Buster...fire!

[The Defender Rangers fire their cannon, but it has no effect. Yogo fires a blast from his staff...the two rangers spark and fall again.]

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
(winded)
I...don't know...how much...more...

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
(tired)
Stay in there, Jake! We can do it!

[The Blue and Yellow Rangers leap in and fire their Nitrolizers, then check on the two Defender Rangers.]

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
You guys alright!?

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
We'll be okay!

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[Ryder is still a bit upset as he sits at the table and just stares at the three casts.]

BILLY CRANSTON:
Here, Ryder...try this.

[Billy mixes up a solution bath to remove the rust from the casts. He and Adam place the three damaged casts into the solution...the rust falls off the casts.]

RYDER SWANSON:
(excited)
Yeah! It worked!

ALPHA SIX:
Oh, boy...aye-yi-yi! Gator is done re-charging!

ADAM PARK:
Ryder...ranger up! It looks like they can use your help out there.

RYDER SWANSON:
Right!

[Ryder teleports out.]

ALPHA SIX:
All six zord systems are a go, Adam...I'm preparing to send them to the rangers.

BILLY CRANSTON:
Adam...I want to show you something.

[Adam walks over to the computer.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Orca, Canine, and Gator arrive at the battle already grown. The Defender Rangers board their zords. Soon, the Defender Megazord is formed.]

DEFENDER RANGERS:
Defender Megazord...Ready To Rumble!

METALIA:
(looking up at the monster)
Drillobit...awaken!

[The behemoth of a drill monster wakes up.]

DRILLOBIT:
Lava Laser!

[Drillobit spews red hot magma at the megazord. Meanwhile, Metalia has the Yellow Ranger tied up in her whip as Argo tries to smash the Blue Ranger with his staff. Drillobit punches the megazord, then picks it up to punch it's head wit the "driving rod."]

DEFENDER RANGERS:
Whoa!

[The Machine Beast tries his lava attack again to spew magma at the megazord as the generals continue to beat up the two Nitro Rangers to the point of de-morph. Drillobit makes the megazord go down as well.]

YOGO:
Gearoids! Get them!

[A dozen Gearoids are called upon to capture Brandon and Keiko. Suddenly, Ryder arrives and kicks a Gearoid squarely in the chest to knock it back several feet.]

RYDER SWANSON:
Hey guys...sorry I'm late. Billy's gonna have a surprise for us soon...but in the meantime...

[Ryder takes out his Nitro Morpher...the other two follow suit.]

ALL:
Start Up!

[The suits "flash-form" over the trio.]

NITRO RANGERS:
Nitro Buster!

[The rangers combine their gear. The rangers inserts their Super Nitro Cells and fire the cannon one after the other (Yellow, Blue, then Red) at the generals. The blast knocks the generals back a bit.]

Nitro Casts...insert cells! Cast Off!

[The casts leap off of the arms of the rangers, and grow. The three rangers get in, and form the Nitro Megazord.]

Nitro Megazord...Ready To Rumble!

[The Nitro Megazord punches Drillobit, who was looming over the fallen Defender Megazord.]

Leave them alone!

[The Nitro Megazord knocks Drillobit down as the Defender Megazord recovers, and gets back to it's feet. Both megazords then stand side-by-side.]

ALL RANGERS:
(as the megazords pose)
Power Rangers: Nitro Defenders! Let's Go!

[Drillobit recovers.]

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
Nitro Sword!

[The sword emerges from it's compartment and appears in the right hand of the megazord. The Nitro Megazord uses the weapon to sword-fight Drillobit, who counters with his lava laser.]

DEFENDER RANGERS:
(as their megazord steps in front of the other megazord to shield it from the monster's attack)
Orca Storm!

[The orca arm spins to deflect the magma. Both megazords stab the monster to send him flying.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
(to the Defender Rangers)
You guys ready over there!?

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
(to the Nitro Rangers)
Ready...Defender...

ALL RANGERS:
{split screen}
Grand Prix!

[Both megazords perform their finishers {split-screened} in tandem.]

You're going down!

[Drillobit cackles in blue energy bolts, then falls and explodes into a massive fireball. The rangers celebrate in their cockpits.]

Yeah!

[The rangers exit the two megazords.]

YOGO:
You may have won this battle rangers...

METALIA:
...But we...will win the war!

ARGO:
Next time, rangers!

[The generals teleport out leaving the rangers to ponder the threat.]

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[Yogo is pacing around the main chamber, and is growing weary of losing all the time.]

YOGO:
Those rangers are trying my patience! Every time a Machine Beast is sent, they are scrapped! That's it! It's time to up the ante...Factorious...B-Doz!

[The factory-like FACTORIOUS, and the big hulking bulldozer, B-DOZ emerge from the chamber, and approach the three generals.]

Go to the city...draw out the rangers, and destroy them!

[Metalia and Argo cheer in glee as the two Machine Beasts depart the palace.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[Adam and Billy are sitting in chairs near the computer desk, and start talking of old times.]

BILLY CRANSTON:
So...you have your own team of rangers...prodigious!

ADAM PARK:
And you're a teacher. Say...what are the others up to?

BILLY CRANSTON:
Well...Tommy's in Reefside teaching High School Biology, Kat's back in Australia coaching future Olympians, Tanya's now hosting a radio show in L.A., Jason and Zack are with the U.N.. Say, have you heard from Rocky and Aiesha?

ADAM PARK:
Aiesha's still in Africa, and Rocky is a baseball coach at A.G.U.. I still can't believe Tommy's a Biology teacher!

BILLY CRANSTON:
(chuckling at first)
You know...we all need to get together sometime...all of the rangers...past, present, and future.

ADAM PARK:
So...what's this computer program of yours?

BILLY CRANSTON:
Well...ever since Zordon's energy tube was shattered in nineteen ninety-eight, I've been working on a way to get him back.

ADAM PARK:
How!? I thought he was destroyed...forever!?

BILLY CRANSTON:
Digitally. It won't be Zordon, per-say, just a digital re-creation. I programmed it to be like if Zordon never left.

[Billy pulls a CD-ROM disc from his brown briefcase, and holds it up.]

This contains the Zenith Remote Digital Network. Zordon's image, knowledge, and mannerisms are all programmed to interact.

ADAM PARK:
And mentor?

BILLY CRANSTON:
Well...yes. Adam, I know you've been mentoring those kids...this program will assist you. Do you trust me?

ADAM PARK:
When have I not trusted you?

EXT.-CITY-PARK-DAY
[Factorious and B-Doz arrive and start terrorizing the citizens. Factorious starts billowing toxic smoke from his stacks as B-Doz starts pushing over some trees and benches.]

Gearoids!

[The five take on the Gearoids in a un-morphed battle, and seem to handle them with ease.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[Alpha watches the battle on Global's viewscreens as Adam watches Billy inputing equations and commands into the computer.]

EXT.-CITY-PARK-DAY
[The five un-morphed rangers continue to battle the Gearoids.]

B-DOZ:
The Gearoids are losing!

FACTORIOUS:
Is that a fact!?

[Factorious uses his smog to power up the Gearoids. When the minions start to gain the upper hand, the quintet needs to re-group.]

KEIKO OGAWA:
How'd they get tougher!?

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
It was that toxic smoke!

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
It gave them power!

MATT SANDOVAL:
So, let's go for a power upgrade of our own!

ALL:
(preparing their morphers)
Right! Start Up!

[The suits form over the quintet. The rangers continue to battle the Gearoids, but now start to have problems.]

Nitrolizers!

[The rangers un-holster their sidearms, and insert their Super Nitro Cells, and fire. Since the blasts had little effect, the rangers convert their Nitrolizers to Baton Mode...which also have little effect.]

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
Oh, no! Now what!?

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[The three generals are pleased that their plan is going so well.]

YOGO:
Why should those two have all the fun!? I say we join them!

Nitro Buster!

DEFENDER RANGERS:
Defender Buster!

ALL:
Fire!

[The dual blasts are fires at the five machines, but it has no effect. The rangers are at a loss of what to do next, as the machines laugh and taunt. Just when things look bad, all five machines grow, and try to stomp on the quintet, who dodge the attack.]

Whoa!

RED NITRO RANGER:
(into his morpher)
We need the zords...stat!

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[Global's alarms ring out along with the Red Ranger's call for the zords. Adam sees the battle on the viewscreen.]

ADAM PARK:
Oh, no! Alpha...what's Gator's charge status?

ALPHA SIX:
Another thirty minutes! I'll send the others.

voice of RED NITRO RANGER:
We'll take whatever we can get!

[The zord case appears in front of the rangers. They open the case and grab their casts to insert their Super Nitro Cells.]

[Chloe is running the dojo. Beside the counter, mounted on a wall, the television is tuned into a newscast. With the volume turned down, the report depicts the zord battle, and a graphic telling people to stay inside.]

EXT.-CITY-PARK-DAY
[The rangers continue to struggle to maintain control of the megazord.]

CONDOR:
Rangers...our time limit is about up!

RED NITRO RANGER:
How much longer?

CONDOR:
About three minutes.

RED NITRO RANGER:
Hang in there, partner, we're going to the limit.

CONDOR:
We'll keep you in until the five second mark.

[The rangers continue to battle until the final seconds.]

Ten seconds...nine...eight...seven...six...

RED NITRO RANGER:
Abandon megazord!

[The megazord glows a golden hue as it falls apart. The three rangers and casts plop onto the round, and the rangers de-morph while holding their casts and cells. The two Defender Rangers, now de-morphed check on thir comrades. All five look up at the five rampaging machines.]

MATT SANDOVAL:
You guys alright!?

RYDER SWANSON:
Yeah...

[Adam's voice comes over Ryder's morpher.]

voice of ADAM PARK:
Rangers...return to base...time to regroup.

ALPHA SIX:
Yes, Adam.

[The five un-morphed rangers teleport in.]

ADAM PARK:
Are you guys alright!?

RYDER SWANSON:
We got out collective butts kicked, but we'll be okay. Here's out casts, Alpha.

[The megazord battle has begun. The canine arm pistol-whips B-Doz as the orca arm slices Factorious. The megazord then backs off to prepare it's finisher.]

ALL RANGERS:
Defender Slam!

[The megazord channels all of it's energy to perform the attack. The megazord then fires a slow-moving blast from the canine arm. The robot then spins to hit the "laser ball" with the orca's tail to send it speeding to the two Machine Beasts (like a volleyball serve), to destroy them.]

You've been served...and that is a fact!

[The megazord poses victoriously in front of the two piles of flaming wreckage. The rangers celebrate in their cockpits.]

[Both megazords perform their finishers in tandem. The generals are moved back several feet, but not destroyed. The generals put their weapons together to send a beam to the megazords...they spark and flail as the villains vanish.]

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
What was that all about!?

RED NITRO RANGER:
They were testing us.

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
For what?

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
They got something planned.

BLUE DEFENDER RANGER:
(sarcastically)
Great!

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-NIGHT
[The generals all gather in the main chamber.]

YOGO:
(into the viewscreen, which has King Gasket on it)
Your Majesty...we are ready to proceed to stage two.

voice of KING GASKET:
Excellent.

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-NIGHT
[The five young adults teleport in, and line-up.]

ADAM PARK:
Welcome back. More than ten years ago, my former mentor, Zordon, sacrificed himself to save the universe from the Alliance of Evil. For the last few days, Billy here as implemented a computerized program...a program that has been uploaded into the Power Center's secondary computer system. The digitalized Zordon will have all the characteristics o the past Zordon, and...will...be your new mentor. I will become an assistant, or a liason to him. Alpha...activate the Zenith Remote Digital Network.

ALPHA SIX:
Right...bringing the system online...now!

[On a centralized monitor, a blue grid image appears. A thicker blue line creates a familiar bluish-gray face on the screen.]

ZORDON:
Hello, rangers...I am Zordon...well, at least a re-creation of him. I'll do my best to be your mentor.

RYDER SWANSON:
Welcome back, Zordon!

ADAM PARK:
There will be times that I will not be able to be here, but Zordon and Alpha are more than capable to help you.

[The voices of the VehAni come over the morphers, and welcome Zordon as well.]

INT.-OUTER SPACE-EARTH'S MOON-MACHINE SKYBASE-NIGHT
[King Gasket and Queen Archerina sense Zordon's presence.]

KING GASKET:
So, Zordon has returned from the dead! Now is the time to strike!

INT.-CITY-DOJO-DAY
[On a quiet Sunday morning, Ryder, Brandon, and Matt are preparing the dojo for opening.]

RYDER SWANSON:
Where's Keiko and Jake?

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
Out shopping, I think. They'll be here soon.

EXT.-CITY-SHIDEX PLAZA-DAY
[Keiko and Jake window-shop around the retail area of the plaza. Keiko sees a delicious cake in a window, and goes inside the bakery to purchase it. Jake, staying outside, sees a camera monster harassing the citizens.]

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
(preparing is morpher)
Start Up!

[The suit flash-forms over Jake. Keiko then walks out of the store, and up to the Green Ranger with a cake box.]

SHUTTER:
Smile for the camera!

[Shutter takes a picture of Keiko, and the Green Ranger...the two vanish as Shutter laughs.]

Two down...three to go!

EXT.-JUNKYARD DIMENSION-DAY
[The two (Jake had been forcefully de-morphed) recover, and get acclimated to their surroundings. All around them are piles of garbage and rusted metallic objects.]

KEIKO OGAWA:
Where are we?

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
I don't know!

KEIKO OGAWA:
(into her morpher)
Anybody there? Hello?

[No one answers Keiko's call. They consult their VehAni partners.]

What'll we do now!?

BEAR:
This is the Junkyard Dimension.

ORCA:
The only way out is the way we came.

[Keiko starts feeling down...and hungry. The two eat the cake that Keiko had purchased earlier.]

EXT.-CITY-SHIDEX PLAZA-DAY
[Shutter continues to terrorize the citizens by taking their pictures, and sending them into the Junkyard Dimension. The remaining three rangers arrive on the scene, and trade taunts with Shutter.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Whoa, a camera monster!

SHUTTER:
I'm Shutter...time to take your picture! Watch the birdie!

[As Shutter tries to snap a picture of the trio, they dodge. The Red Ranger un-holsters his Nitrolizer, and loads his Super Nitro Cell into it, then converts the Nitrolizer into Baton Mode.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Condor Blade Strike!

[The Red Ranger's attack makes the Machine Beast spark and retreat. The three rangers relax a second.]

Let's get back to the Power Center.

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[Alpha is busy trying to locate Keiko and Jake.]

ZORDON:
Alpha...try to expand the search to other dimensions.

ALPHA SIX:
Yes, Zordon...scanning the other dimensions now.

[The three rangers teleport in, and remove their helmets.]

RYDER SWANSON:
Anything yet?

ALPHA SIX:
Aye-yi-yi! Nothing!

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
Alpha...scan Shutter's camera lens, and do a reverse trace. That's what he's using to make the people disappear.

ALPHA SIX:
Scanning. Aye-yi-yi! They're in his Junkyard Dimension!

RYDER SWANSON:
Let's work on a way to get them out of there.

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[The generals celebrate for a bit with Shutter.]

METALIA:
Soon, the entire Earth will be evacuated to the Junkyard Dimension, and the puny Earthlings will become Gearoids...

ARGO:
...And our slaves!

SHUTTER:
I'll drink to that!

[Metalia and Shutter toast-clank their glasses, and drink. Shutter then departs for the city as the three generals laugh.]

EXT.-JUNKYARD DIMENSION-DAY
[Keiko and Jake look around some more, and hear noises.]

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
What's all that noise!?

[The two investigate, and see Gearoids herding citizens into a warehouse-like building.]

We gotta do something!

KEIKO OGAWA AND JAKE GARABEDIAN:
(preparing their morphers)
Start Up!

[The suits do not form over the duo...the morph is being blocked.]

KEIKO OGAWA:
Now what'll we do!? Those people need our help!

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
We improvise! Let's go!

INT.-JUNKYARD DIMENSION-WAREHOUSE-DAY
[Keiko and Jake sneak inside and witness the Gearoids turn innocent citizens into Gearoids. The duo quickly come up with a plan to battle the Gearoids, and rescue the citizens by pointing and gesturing silently.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Shutter continues to terrorize the citizens, and has dozens of them in his sights. The three rangers arrive.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
You know, for someone with a flash-bulb, you're pretty dim!

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
Come get us!

[The three rangers run to another area to lure Shutter into a trap.]

INT.-JUNKYARD DIMENSION-WAREHOUSE-DAY
[As Keiko and Jake ready some chains to swing in on, they witness citizens of various ages being crammed into cage. A Gearoid is about to throw a lever, but the two rangers swing into action. Six Gearoids get kicked in the head by the swinging duo. The two then use a Gearoid's sword in their rescue attempt. Jake then uses a chain to tie up the four soldiers.]

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
Keiko!

KEIKO OGAWA:
Good work, Jake! You tin-cans are in for it now!

[Keiko starts beating the four tied-up Gearoids with the Gearoid Sword...the beaten Gearoids fall. The two un-morphed rangers trade high-fives.]

Yes!

JAKE GARAEDIAN:
Yeah!

[Keiko and Jake free the citizens, and help them escape the warehouse.]

EXT.-JUNKYARD DIMENSION-DAY
[Keiko and Jake get the citizens to safety.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[The three rangers lead Shutter into their trap...to face three cardboard cut-outs.]

SHUTTER:
There you are! Time to join your friends...soon, you five...and soon everyone on Earth will become Gearoid slaves! Smile!

[Shutter snaps a picture of the cardboard rangers, and they vanish. Suddenly, the Red Ranger leaps in with his Condor Blade.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Condor Blade...Road Slash!

[The Blue and Black Rangers hold Shutter back as the Red Ranger approaches the Machine Beast.]

EXT.-JUNKYARD DIMENSION-DAY
[Keiko and Jake lead the citizens to an open field, where they see the rangers...the two think that they're real, and approach them.]

KEIKO OGAWA:
Rangers!

[Keiko notices that they're cardboard cut-outs, and seems a bit down as she reads a not affixed to the back of the "Red Cardboard Ranger."

'Everyone...we're working on getting you out of there...hang tight; signed Red Ranger.'

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
Don't worry...we'll be out of here soon.

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[The Blue and Black Rangers continue to hold Shutter while the Red Ranger reverses the controls on Shutter, and presses the trigger to make all of Shutter's prisoners re-appear on Earth. Everyone, including Keiko and Jake celebrate a bit. The Red Ranger checks on everyone.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
(to Keiko and Jake)
Everybody okay?

[The rangers see the "Geared" humans.]

Get everyone to safety, okay.

[Keiko and Jake get everyone away from the battle as the Blue and Black Rangers kick Shutter, then use their Nitro Gear on him...Shutter goes down, but soon recovers and stares down the two -un-morphed rangers. Once the citizens are safe, Keiko and Jake prepare their morphers.]

KEIKO OGAWA AND JAKE GARABEDIAN:
Start Up!

[The suits fully form over the duo. After their morph is complete, the two join their comrades.]

ALL RANGERS:
(posing)
Power Rangers...Nitro Defenders! Let's Go!

SHUTTER:
I shutter at the thought...

ALL RANGERS:
You should...Nitro Defender Cannon!

[The rangers form the cannon from their Nitro Gear (which was summoned during Shutter's taunt). The Yellow Ranger inserts her Super Nitro Cell.]

Fire!

[Shutter is blown away, which starts is Industrial Revolution. Soon, the Machine Beast grows.]

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
Zordon...Alpha...send the zords!

[A few seconds later, the zord case teleports in, appears in front of the Yellow Ranger. The Red Ranger opens the case. The five rangers grab their casts, and insert their Super Nitro Cells.]

ALL RANGERS:
Cast Off!

[The casts leap off of the rangers' arms. They the grow and come alive. The rangers then board their zords, and put them into gear.]

Zords...Combine!

[The six zords combine to form the Nitro Megazord, and Defender Megazord.]

NITRO RANGERS:
Nitro Megazord...

DEFENDER RANGERS:
Defender Megazord...

ALL RANGERS:
(as the two megazords pose side-by-side)
...Ready To Rumble!

SHUTTER:
(as he fires his film-strip ropes at the megazords, binding them)
That's a wrap, rangers!

[The Machine Beast then uses his flash-bulb to blast the two megazords.]

Say cheese!

[The two megazords spark a lot, then go down. After a bit, the two robots recover to their feet.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Let's go airborne!

[The two megazord fly up into the sun to blind the Machine Beast before coming down.]

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
Canine Blast!

[The Defender Megazord blasts Shutter with it's right arm, the canine.]

DEFENDER RANGERS:
Defender Grand Prix!

[The Machine Beast snaps several pictures of the Defender Megazord executing it's finisher.]

NITRO RANGERS:
Grand Prix!

[The Machine Beast snaps several pictures of the Nitro Megazord executing it's finisher. Shutter then falls and explodes. The two megazords pose victoriously.]

ALL RANGERS:
You're over-exposed!

[The "geared" humans return to normal, and thank the rangers, who have exited the megazords.]

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-NIGHT
[The three Machine Empire generals are not as angry as usual at Shutter's defeat. They have another Machine Beast in mind...a slender, golden-like one with a boxy chest.]

METALIA:
Everything is proceeding as planned, Yogo.

[Yogo reviews footage of the megazords' finishers.]

YOGO:
Excellent!

ARGO:
Those rangers won't know what hit them! (laughs)

INT.-CITY-DOJO-NIGHT
[Adam presents a cake to the team.]

ADAM PARK:
(as he puts the cake on a table)
Heard that you guys had a rough day.

RYDER SWANSON:
(grabbing plastic utensils, napkins, and plates from the counter, walks to the table)
Yeah, but something tells me that the Empire is beginning to step up it's attacks.

ADAM PARK:
That's why you all must be ready, and be careful.

[As Ryder nears the table, he trips over his own feet, and falls into the cake...face first.]

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
(as Ryder recovers with a face full of cake frosting)
Well, let's face it...

[Ryder just sternly stares a Brandon as everyone laughs.]

...This...is a sweet reward after a long day.

[Everyone continues to laugh. TO BE CONTINUED...]

[In the early morning, the camera pans from the doorway to the juice bar. Ryder, Jake, and Matt sit at one table, while Brandon sits at another one nearby, with stacks of paper and about six books. Keiko is in the kitchen cooking up some scrambled eggs, and serves them to the guys.]

KEIKO OGAWA:
(yelling)
Scrambled eggs in a minute, guys!

RYDER SWANSON:
(to Brandon)
Hey, Brandon...what'cha working on?

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
A way to combine all six zords for more power..

RYDER SWANSON:
So...the Nitro Defender Megazord?

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
Thanks!

MATT SANDOVAL:
For what!?

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
The new megazord combination needed a name!

[Keiko comes out of the kitchen carrying a platter with four plates of scrambled eggs. The three look at the watered-down eggs, then take a bite...it tastes horrible, but they try to be polite to her. She then sits down and takes a bite, only to realize that she's a bad cook.]

KEIKO OGAWA:
Sorry guys...I tried!

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[The three generals stand side-by-side, fixated on footage from Shutter's defeat on the viewscreen.]

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
No, way!

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
Oh, no!

[Reflectra fires blasts from the copy-canine at the Defender Megazord, causing it to spark.]

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
Whoa!

[Reflectra's copy-orca appears on her left arm, then slashes the Defender Megazord several times. The two Defender Rangers are thrown out as their three zords revert to cast form. The two rangers then recover enough to see the Machine Beast go after the Nitro Megazord.]

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
Charge!

REFLECTRA:
Not so fast, rangers!

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
Look out guys!

[Reflectra opens her mirrors to copy the sword, which then promptly appears in her right hand.]

REFLECTRA:
Anything you can do, I can do better!

RED NITRO RANGER:
Careful, everyone!

[Reflectra uses the copy-sword to slash the megazord. The three rangers are thrown out as their zords revert to cast form.]

It appears that Shutter took pictures of your finishing attacks, and...

MATT SANDOVAL:
...And...Reflectra is using the footage to her advantage!

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
I think my zord remodel plan should begin immediately.

ZORDON:
Brandon...can I see your final blueprint?

[Brandon holds up the rolled-up paper, and un-rolls it.]

Yes...I believe it can work.

Can I see?

[Ryder shows Condor the blueprint.]

Okay, everyone...let's try to ring them together!

ALL RANGERS:
Zords...combine!

[All six zords join together to form a new megazord combination. The rangers depart from their individual cockpits, and arrive in a centralized cockpit, located behind the megazord's eyes. The steering wheels all arrive and lock into place.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[Seated on a wooden stool in front of a world map (with Armenia highlighted in red) is Jake's actor, Jake Lindesay. He opens the episode with a narration.]

JAKE LINDESAY:
Hi...I'm Jake Lindesay...I play Jake Garabedian, the Green Defender Ranger on Power Rangers: Nitro Defenders. Jake's heritage on the show is Armenian. Today's episode deals with Jake's Great-Grandparents, who struggled, and ultimately succumbed to what was then the Ottoman Empire during what came to be known as the Armenian Genocide, that began on April twenty-fourth, nineteen-fifteen. Over one million, five hundred thousand Armenian citizens were executed by what is now the country of Turkey, just because of who they were...Armenian. To this day, Turkey refuses to acknowledge their participation in the genocide.

INT.-CITY-DOJO-DAY
[On a sunny mid-spring day, four of the "ranger teens" are getting the dojo ready to open or the day. Jake then walks in looking dejected, and everyone notices.]

KEIKO OGAWA:
Jake...what's wrong?

[The team surrounds him.]

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
I don't want to talk about it...it's a very sad day for my family, and the land of my ancestors.

[Jake gets up, and leaves the dojo, leaving everyone puzzled.]

RYDER SWANSON:
What was that all about!?

Guys...I'm going to the Power Center to check on something. I'll be back in a bit.

[Adam teleports out of the dojo.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[Adam teleports in, and moves to the personal computer, which has Internet access, and looks up Jake's dossier for any clues to the reason why he is acting the way he is.]

ALPHA SIX:
What's wrong with Jake, Adam?

ADAM PARK:
He came into to work in a depressed mood...when asked what was wrong, he left.

[Adam turns to the computer, and sees Jake's vitals...he's Armenian.]

He did say that it was a sad time for his family, and the land of his ancestors. Global...is there any significance to Armenia, and today's date?

GLOBAL:
Affirmative. On April twenty-fourth, nineteen-fifteen, was the beginning of what is today know as the Armenian Genocide.

[Adam goes online, and conducts a search on a search engine, and finds out the story of the genocide.]

ADAM PARK:
That was ninety-four years ago today...Global, was any of Jake's extended family involved?

GLOBAL:
That is unknown.

Adam...it is up to Jake to tell you and the other rangers his story, when he feels the time is right.

ADAM PARK:
You're right, Zordon.

RYDER SWANSON:
Let's take it up to the next level...

ALL FOUR:
(preparing their morphers)
Start Up!

ARGO:
Pansy!

[The other three rangers are getting overwhelmed by the Gearoids. Four Gearoids surround the Red Ranger, as the other three are surrounded by four Gearoids each...the four rangers are captured, and try to break free, but cannot.]

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
April twenty-fourth...nineteen-fifteen. Over a million and a half Armenians were...harassed and killed by the Ottoman Empire...which is today the country of Turkey...just because of their race. My Great-Grandparents were victims. Today is the ninety-fourth anniversary.

ADAM PARK:
Jake, if you're down, you have a lot of shoulders that you can lean on for support.

[Adam's communicator beeps.]

voice of ALPHA SIX:
Adam...Jake is desperately needed in the city...Argo has captured the other rangers!

ADAM PARK:
He's on his way...and I'm heading there too.

[Jake looks around to see if the coast is clear to morph, then prepares his morpher.]

Thanks, Adam! Start Up!

[The suit "fully-forms" over Jake.]

EXT.-CITY-WAREHOUSE-DAY

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
Right here!

ARGO:
Excellent!

ADAM PARK:
Hey, yo...motor-mouth! Remember me?

ARGO:
You!

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
Ready to go to work?

ADAM PARK:
In a sec...

[Adam pulls out his old Zeonizer, and straps both pieces on to each wrist.]

[Adam puts the two pieces of Zeonizer together.]

Zeo Ranger Four...Green!

[The suit forms up Adam's body.]

Come on, Jake...it's time we Green Rangers stick together!

[Both Green Rangers charge at Argo.]

ARGO:
Gearoids!

[An army of Gearoids teleport in. The two Green Rangers stop to prepare for an apparent onslaught.]

Jake...you go after the Gearoids...I'll handle Argo!

[The two Green Rangers go their separate ways to accomplish their tasks.]

Zeo Power Axes!

[The Green Zeo Ranger goes after Argo.]

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
Nitrolizer...Blaster Mode! Orca Axe!

[The Green Zeo Ranger sees the other rangers chained up to a thick pillar as the Green Defender Ranger battles the Gearoids, by firing his weapon at them.]

GREEN ZEO RANGER:
You're mine, Argo!

ARGO:
Really!?

[Argo uses his staff to fire a blast at Adam to knock him down, and out of morph.]

ADAM PARK:
Whoa!

[Adam looks at his Zeonizers...they're toast.]

Well, so much for that!

ARGO:
Give up, human!

ADAM PARK:
Not a chance, Argo...once a ranger...

[Adam performs his famous roundhouse kick on Argo to knock him back.]

...Always a ranger!

[During the two battles, the four captured rangers discover that the chains were hit, and are able to escape. They join the Green Ranger's side.]

ALL FOUR:
Nitro Gear!

[The five rangers have their Nitro Gear.]

ALL RANGERS:
Put 'em together!

[The rangers put their weapons together.]

Nitro Defender Cannon! Fire!

[Argo goes flying backward, but quickly recovers.]

ARGO:
You may have beaten me this time...but I will be back, and then you won't be as lucky, rangers!

[Argo teleports out.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
We'll be ready, Argo! Let's all get back to the dojo.

ALL RANGERS:
(while removing their Nitro Cells from their morphers)
Shutdown!

[The suits vanish from the quintet.]

INT.-CITY-DOJO-DAY

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
Hey, guys...look...I'm sorry about the way I acted earlier today...

RYDER SWANSON:
It's okay, Jake...Adam filled us in.

KEIKO OGAWA:
We all have our sad days, Jake.

MATT SANDOVAL:
Yeah, I remember when I was a rookie on the force, I stopped a car for a small traffic violation...only to find out that the driver was the chief...my boss!

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
Thanks, guys. I do feel better, now.

RYDER SWANSON:
(holding up his glass)

Yeah...the only thing that got hurt was my pride.

[Ryder gets up, and dusts himself off.]

Medihaz will be able to take care of that!

Good...now, go and wreck havoc on the city!

[Medihaz departs the base.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY

Right!

RYDER SWANSON:
You guys finish them off...I'm going after "Pokey!"

[Ryder moves toward the Machine Beast to perform a high-flight kick on him, but Medihaz deflects, and Ryder lands.]

Why, you!

[Ryder then tries the maneuver again, and strikes Medihaz, but lands on his right foot wrong, hurting is right ankle.]

Ow! Ow! Ow!

[Ryder hobbles over to some steps to check his foot...the ankle is throbbing with pain. The other "ranger teens" finish off the Gearoids, then face Medihaz, who retreats. They then rush to Ryder's aid.]

KEIKO OGAWA:
Ryder! Are you okay!?

RYDER SWANSON:
(in pain)
My foot! I landed wrong on it! Might...have broken something!

MATT SANDOVAL:
(kneeling on his knees, rolling up Ryder's pant leg)
Okay, Ry...this may hurt.

[Matt, with his emergency services training, uses his fingers to check Ryder's foot for tenderness. He reaches up to the ankle, and Ryder tenses up.]

Yup...I think your ankle's broken. We better get you to the hospital.

[Brandon and Keiko prop Ryder up. Ryder is favoring his injured ankle.]

JAKE GARABEDIAN:

Nah, you hold onto them for now.

What's that, a new fangled cell-phone?

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
Yeah, it's the latest design model.

[The doctor shrugs off the looks of the phone.]

DOCTOR #1:

Okay, Mister Swanson...you hurt you foot while performing martial arts?

RYDER SWANSON:
Yes, sir...I accomplished the move, but landed wrong.

DOCTOR #1:
I see.

INT.-CITY-DOJO-DAY
[On a busy late morning, Adam enters the dojo, looking a bit disheveled, but decent. He is feeling a bit under the weather (like a bad allergy cold).]

CHLOE WILCOX:
Adam! Are you feeling okay?

ADAM PARK:
I'll be fine, I think I'm still getting used to the new powers. It's like a allergy-type cold. Where's the others?

CHLOE WILCOX:
Things are slow right now, so I said tat it was okay for them to go into the forest to train.

ADAM PARK:
Okay. I just came to get some paperwork, then go home to rest.

[Adam goes into his office.]

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[The three generals prepare their next Machine Beast for their next plan.]

YOGO:
Those meddlesome rangers will get a real charge out of Electrogen!

EXT.-FOREST-DAY
[The four morphed rangers spar with each other while using their Nitrolizers in Baton Mode.]

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
So, what do you guys think about Adam taking over for Ryder?

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
Well, he's experienced...that's for sure!

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
When I fought alongside him against Argo a couple weeks ago, he was amazing!

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
He's been the Black Morphin Ranger, Black Ninja Ranger, Green Zeo Ranger, and the Green Turbo Ranger. I'm glad to have him fighting alongside us.

INT.-CITY-ADAM'S HOUSE-LIVING ROOM-DAY
[Adam is laying on his couch constantly blowing his noose into a tissue after sneezing.]

ADAM PARK:
Didn't Kimberly go through this several years ago when while we were on Edenoi?

[Time is comicly sped up to show several wads of tissue in a wastebasket, which then overflows, with several wads on the floor around the basket.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[On a rooftop overlooking the city, a Machine Beast winds up a gear on his body to generate lightning, which he uses to blow up a section of the city...just to draw out the rangers.]

ELECTROGEN:
Come on, Rangers! This battle will be electrifying!

INT.-CITY-ADAM'S HOUSE-LIVING ROOM-DAY
[While he is sitting on his couch, Adam is relaxing...until his morpher beeps. He picks up the device to answer it in a strained, nasily voice tone.]

ADAM PARK:
Go ahead.

voice of ALPHA SIX:
Adam...there is a Machine east in the city, but it'll take the other rangers some time to get there.

ADAM PARK:
I'll go hold off the monster until the others arrive.

[Adam gets off the couch, and departs for the city.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Adam arrives to confront and taunt Electrogen.]

ELECTROGEN:
Ah, a lone human! How shocking!

ADAM PARK:
Yeah! I'm here to take you down, Sparky!

ELECTROGEN:
With what power?

ADAM PARK:
(while pulling his morpher and cell from it's pouch)
With this power!

[Adam opens the top of the morpher, and inserts his Nitro Cell.]

Start Up!

[The suit "flash-forms" over Adam's body.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
(posing)
Screech Of The Condor! Red Nitro Ranger!

ELECTROGEN:
A Power Ranger!? I knew it!

RED NITRO RANGER:
(while pressing the "G" symbol on his belt buckle to make the chest logo glow, and produce his weapon)
Condor Blade! Road Slash!

[When the Red Ranger tries to execute the attack, Electrogen's generator lows, engulfing both in a massive explosion. The other four morphed rangers finally arrive, only to find a large, smoking crater.]

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
(seeing a de-morphed Adam lying face-down and motionless nearby)
Guys! Look!

ALL FOUR:
(yelling in shock)
Adam!

[The four rangers rush to Adam's aid...but little do they know is that Adam and Electrogen hae switched bodies.]

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-CORRIDOR-DAY
[The Machine Beast awakens to see two Gearoids hovering over him (through his eyes) trying to repair him. "Electrogen" shocks them, and four other soldiers.]

"ELECTROGEN":
(noticing the energy bolts)
What!?

["Electrogen" then sneezes. He sees his clawed hand and reflection, then realizes what happened.]

Did we switch bodies?

[Yogo then comes in from behind, and lightly hits "Electrogen" with his spear...he does not suspect the switch. "Electrogen" then remembers how the switch happened in a flashback.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
["Adam" wakes up on the infirmary table. He's got the Nitro Morpher and Nitro Cell...and a plan. Everyone tends to "Adam."]

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
Adam! Are you okay!?

RYDER SWANSON:
Can I get you anything from the dojo?

KEIKO OGAWA:
Do you need an extra pillow?

"ADAM PARK":
(getting up)
Arrgh! I can't stand it anymore! All of you are...eww...kind! It's painful!

["Adam" teleports to the city.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Yogo senses something is wrong when "Adam" arrives with a Machine Empire energy signature.]

"ADAM PARK":
You! I want my body back!

"ELECTROGEN":
You're not the only one!

[The two switched-body beings battle. When the other four rangers arrive, Yogo takes "Adam" hostage, forcing the four rangers to fight "Electrogen..." their own comrade.]

YOGO:
I am aware of what happened...but the switch-back has already occurred...fit on, or the Red Ranger will be destroyed.

[Yogo then whispers to the Red Ranger.]

Play along, Electrogen!

[The four rangers also know what happened (thanks to Condor), and don't want to fight their comrade.]

If you don't defeat Electrogen, I'll destroy him, and the Red Ranger will be my slave, and forced to to my bidding!

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
We know you're bluffing, Yogo! Condor had already filled us in!

[Yogo retreats.]

"ADAM PARK":
(preparing his morpher)
Start...Up!

[The suit "flash-forms" over "Adam."]

"RED NITRO RANGER":
Ah, that...feels better!

[The "Red Ranger" un-holsters the Nitrolizer, and tries to fire the weapon, but the Blue Ranger has the Red Super Nitro Cell.]

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
(holding up the Red Super Nitro Cell)
All our weapons require the use of these cells, Electrogen!

[The four rangers un-holster their Nitrolizers, and insert their Super Nitro Cells.]

ALL FOUR:
Nitrolizers! Fire!

[The four rangers fire their weapons at the "Red Ranger," who ten recovers and charges at "Electrogen," to knock him down.]

CONDOR:
VehAni! Let's help our partner!

[The six Super Nitro Cells come alive, and emerge from the rangers' Nitrolizers and belt compartments. They turn "Electrogen" into a special cell.]

DEFENDER RANGERS:
Nitro Gear!

[The duo press the "G" symbol on their belt buckles to produce the weapons, then grab them.]

Defender Buster!

[The two rangers put the Orca Axe and Canine Taser together.]

Now that's one way to get rid of a cold!

NITRO RANGERS:
Nitro Gear!

[The trio press the "G" symbol on their belt buckles to produce the weapons, and grab them.]

Nitro Buster!

[The three put the Condor Blade, Lionzooka, and Bear Pellet together.]

ALL RANGERS:

[The rangers put the Nitro Buster and Defender Buster together.]

Fire!

[The weapon is fired at Electrogen, who goes down. He then releases his Banki Energy to go through the Industrial Revolution to grow.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
(into his morpher)
Alpha! Send the zords!

[The six zords arrive. The rangers board them, and strap in, then put the zords into gear.]

Let's bring them all together, guys!

ALL RANGERS:
Combine!

[The six zords join together to form a megazord.]

Nitro Defender Megazord...Ready To Rumble!

Ah, it's great to be myself again!

KEIKO OGAWA:
It's great to have you back, Adam.

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[A Machine Beast (Triggs) arrives before a bustling crowd to draw out the rangers.]

TRIGGS:
I am Triggs...the Machine Empire's top sniper!

[A female teenager, talking on her cell-phone accidentally wonders into Triggs' path. He grabs her.]

How dare you walk in front of me!

[The girl screams in fear.]

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
Hey, hot-shot! Leaver her alone!

[The rangers arrive, and confront the Machine Beast.]

TRIGGS:
The rangers! Here, have some fun...Gearoids!

[The Gearoids materialize, and the five rangers battle them. Triggs uses the distraction to try and kidnap the girl.]

GIRL:
(in anguish)
Help!

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
Hold it right there!

[The Blue Ranger leaps in, and kicks Triggs to make him release the girl. The others defeat the Gearoids as Triggs tries to run away.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Where do 'ya think you're going!?

[The quintet catch up with the Machine Beast.]

TRIGGS:
Anywhere you aren't!

[Triggs uses the weapon on his head...and fires it at the five rangers...they dodge.]

[Triggs goes down, and prepares to grow by releasing his Banki Energy to go through the Industrial Revolution. The team briefly celebrates before witnessing the Machine Beast's growth.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Now that's one big hired gun!

[The Red Ranger then speaks into his morpher.]

Alpha...

voice of ALPHA SIX:
Sending the zords now, Adam!

[The zords arrive, and the five rangers board them, and get ready for battle.]

ALL RANGERS:
Zords...Combine!

[The six zords combine into a megazord.]

Nitro Defender Megazord...Ready To Rumble!

TRIGGS:
You can't defeat me!

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
Guys, I found his weak spot.

ALL RANGERS:
Nitro Defender...Grand Prix!

[Triggs falls and explodes into a massive fireball. The megazord stands down as the rangers relax in the cockpit.]

EXT.-CITY-DOWNTOWN-DAY
[Later that day, Jake walks around, and sees an oasis-like hot spring...he investigates.]

JAKE GARBAEDIAN:
Whoa! What's that!?

[Soon, another Machine Beast that looks like a walking cauldron with arms and legs appears.]

A Machine Beast!

[Jake prepares his morpher.]

Start Up!

[The suit "flash-forms" over Jake's body.]

FIREUS:
Hello, ranger!

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
Call Of The Orca! Green Defender Ranger!

[The Green Ranger battles Fireus on his own. During the battle, he gets knocked into the hot spring, and is knocked out of morph.]

FIREUS:
One ranger is no match for me!

[The other four rangers arrive, and see Jake with the other citizens, under the spell of the spring.]

RED NITRO RANER:
How 'bout the four of us!

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
Jake!

[Metalia arrives.]

METALIA:
Fireus...get them!

[Fireus shoots steam at the quartet. The Red Ranger then presses the "G" symbol on his belt buckle to make his secondary weapon materialize from the chest logo.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Nitro Gear! Condor Blade! Road Slash!

[One swing from the Red Ranger's Condor Blade deflects the steam, and the spring's spell, much to Metalia's dismay.]

METALIA:
No!

ALL NITRO RANGERS:
Nitro Buster!

[The Black Ranger inserts his Super Nitro Cell, and fires the weapon.]

METALIA:
Next time, rangers!

[Fireus and Metalia retreat as the four rangers rescue Jake and the other citizens.]

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[Metalia recharges Fireus in the chamber, and discusses the plan with Yogo.]

YOGO:
What do you plan on doing next, Metalia?

METALIA:
I plan on having Fireus absorb the rangers into his perfect illusion.

[Fireus exits the chamber, powered up.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Fireus and Metalia return and attack the city to draw out the rangers...they promptly arrive, and confront the evil duo.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Hey, hot-head! Guess you haven't had enough!

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
You need to take a chill-pill!

FIREUS:
I have a cure for that!

[Fireus absorbs the rangers, but the Red Ranger's experience, and the Green Ranger's previous encounter break the illusion in quick timing, then free their comrades.]

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
You guys alright!?

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
Yeah...I think so.

METALIA:
(angerly to Fireus)
Get them!

[Colored explosions errupt behind the team, followed by a fiery eruption.]

[Three dozen Gearoids appear in front of the quintet.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Let's go, rangers!

ALL RANGERS:
Charge!

[The rangers battle the Gearoids, and defeat them within a few minutes.]

Nitro Gear!

[The five press the "G" symbol on their belt buckles to make the weapons materialize from The chest logos. The quintet grab their gear, and put them together.]

Nitro Defender Cannon!

METALIA:
Not this time, rangers!

[Metalia fires a blast from her whip to knock the rangers unconscious, and drop the weapon. The Green Ranger, however is able to recover.]

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
(crawling over to the cannon)
Must...fire...the cannon!

[The Green Ranger picks up the weapon, and inserts his Super Nitro Cell.]

Fire!

[The Green Ranger fires the weapon to make Fireus fall. The Machine Beast then releases his Banki Energy to go through the Industrial Revolution. During the growth process of the monster, the Green Ranger checks on the others.]

Guys!

[The Green Ranger contacts the Power Center.]

Zordon...Alpha...the other rangers are down...what do I do?

voice of ZORDON:
I will have Alpha teleport them here. The VehAni are on their way as we speak.

[Fireus grows as the other four unconscious rangers are teleported out. The zords arrive shortly thereafter. The Green Ranger boards orca, and straps in for the battle of his life]

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
Okay, guys...the others are down right now...it's up to you guys and me to defeat this guy. Are you ready!?

ALL VEHANI:
Let's get him, Jake!

ALL VEHANI AND GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
Zords...Combine!

[The six VehAni join together to form the megazord.]

Eat some steam!

[Fireus shoots steam at the megazord to make it flail a bit.]

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
Let's finish him off...Nitro Defender...

ALL VEHANI AND GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
...Grand Prix!

[The Green Ranger takes hold of the Steering Blaster, and inserts the V-Cell. The megazord's eyes light up as it moves toward the Machine Beast. The VehAni fire their energy at Fireus, who then spins around and collapses before exploding into a massive fireball. The seven celebrate for a bit.]

Yes!

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-NIGHT
[A few minutes later, Jake returns to the base to see that his comrades have sufficiently recovered.]

Congratulations on a job well done, Jake!

You saved us all!

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
(exhausted)
Thanks guys!

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-NIGHT
[The three villains are very, very, very angry and upset...as are Gasket and Archerina, who speak to the trio on the view-screen.]

KING GASKET:
You three have lost...again! In fact, you've all been losers since day one!

[The three look pitifully dejected.]

QUEEN ARCHERINA:
Yes, but don't fret...

KING GASKET:
...Help is coming your way.

EXT.-OUTER SPACE-NIGHT

[On the viewscreen, King Gasket tells his three generals that help is on the way.]

YOGO:
Might I ask who is coming, your majesty?

voice of KING GASKET:
Your top Sergeant departed the dark side of Machia a few hours ago...he should be on Earth shortly. Skybase...out.

[As Gasket's image fades from the screen, the three generals celebrate the arrival of the fourth villain.]

EXT.-OUTER SPACE-NIGHT
[A ship is traveling through space toward Earth...the ship is a Machine Empire Strike-Fighter, and it's pilot is Arkimedes.]

EXT.-CITY-PARK-DAY
[The next day, the five team members try to relax and have some fun...little do they realize, that a new threat is coming.]

JAKE GARABBEDIAN:
This is so relaxing!

ADAM PARK:
Well...don't let your guard down. I sense that something's not right.

[Alpha contacts the team.]

Go for Adam...

KEIKO OGAWA:
(whispering)
How'd he know!?

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
(whispering)
Must be from experience.

voice of ALPHA SIX:
Rangers...Zordon needs you at the Power Center right away...it's an emergency!

ADAM PARK:
We're on our way.

KEIKO OGAWA:
Adam...how'd you know?

ADAM PARK:
Experience.

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
Told 'ya.

ADAM PARK:
Let's go guys...Zordon needs us.

[The five rise to their feet while looking around to see if it is safe to teleport, then vanish from the park.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[The five team members teleport in. Global's alarms are ringing, along with flashing alert lights. The quintet see Ryder without his pressure cast...he's ready to rejoin the team soon.]

ZORDON:
Rangers...on the viewscreen, you can see that an unknown object is approaching Earth.

KEIKO OGAWA:
Is it more VehAni?

ZORDON:
I'm afraid not, Keiko...the object is carrying a Machine Empire energy signature.

[The object arrives on Earth outside of the city. The alarms start up again.]

RYDER SWANSON:
Adam...take this one. I'm sure your expertise will come in handy.

ADAM PARK:
Okay, guys...let's go to work!

[The quintet prepare their morphers.]

ALL:
Start Up!

[The suits "flash-form" over the quintet, who then teleport out of the base, to head to the city.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[The Striker flies through the skies, scaring the citizens. The ship then uses it's powerful lasers to destroy some tall buildings. The rangers soon arrive in the Nitro Defender Megazord.]

LION:
Rangers...that is a Machine Empire Strike-Fighter...

CONDOR:
...And it's pilot is Arkimedes...the Empire's top military genius. The entire VehAni species fear him...and so do we.

RED NITRO RANGER:
Well, we don't...so, let's keep it together everyone!

[The rangers battle the Striker to the best of their abilities, but they are soon overpowered, and with the time limit fast approaching, they must retreat. The Striker then departs for Mechanico Island.]

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[Arkimedes arrives and reports to Yogo.]

YOGO:
Arkimedes, my old friend...welcome to Earth!

ARKIMEDES:
I like the welcoming party...

ARGO:
You met our adversaries?

ARKIMEDES:
Yes...those puny rangers and their weak VehAni partners are no match for me.

METALIA:
While I am pleased that you defeated them so easily, I must tell you to...well...don't be so cocky! Those rangers are a lot tougher than they seem.

[The four plan their next move while celebrating.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-CAVE-DAY
[While the camera pans into a dark cave, two voices are heard...a male voice, and a female one.]

FALCON:
Tiger, Arkimedes has arrived.

TIGER:
Yes, Falcon...I sense him too. We must defend this planet from him.

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[The five team members and six VehAni return, and debrief everyone.]

CONDOR:
Arkimedes is the Machine Empire's top military genius. Years ago, the Empire attempted a similar invasion. Their forces were led by Arkimedes, who was a ruthless dictator, and forced many VehAni into slavery. He caries a sword that can cut trough most metals...including ours. In fact, if we disobeyed orders, he used the sword to wound us as punishment. That is why we all fear him.

RYDER SWANSON:
Well, you guys need to set your fears aside, if you want to defeat him and the rest of the Empire.

[Global's alarms ring out...the viewscreen depicts the five main villains (Gasket, Yogo, Metalia, Argo, and Arkimedes) in the city.]

ADAM PARK:
Come on, guys! Angel Grove needs us!

[The five unmorphed rangers teleport out.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[The villains use their powers and weapons to create mass chaos and destruction as the citizens flee in fear. The unmorphed rangers arrive, and see the evil quintet.]

YOGO:
Hello, rangers...welcome to the party!

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
Party?

METALIA:
Yeah! The end of the world party!

ADAM PARK:
I don't think so...ready guys!?

[The quintet ready their morphers.]

ALL:

[The suits "fully-form" over the quintet.]

ALL RANGERS:

Nitro!

Defenders!

ALL RANGERS:

Let's Go!

[The usual colored plumes, then fiery explosions errupt in back of the rangers as they pose.]

KING GASKET:
Yogo...call on your Gearoids. In the meantime...Cogs!

[An army of twenty-five mechanized soldiers appear, then move toward the rangers...the four sub-villains call upon twelve Gearoids each...they too appear, and move toward the rangers.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Not good! Nitrolizers, guys!

[The five rangers un-holster their sidearms, and get ready to use them.]

ARKIMEDES:
Not so fast, rangers...

[Arkimedes is holding a device of some sort.]

...This is the Gear Screw...time to activate it!

[Arkimedes flips the switch. Energy coming from the device effects the forty-eight Gearoids.]

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
Charge!

[The rangers charge into battle against the Gearoids and and Cogs. After a couple minutes, the rangers realize that the Gearoids are stronger.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Nitrolizers!

ALL RANGERS:
Baton Mode!

[The ranger use their sidearms in Baton Mode, but it does not seem to be effective.]

Blaster Mode!

[The rangers try their sidearms in Blaster Mode, but it too is not effective.]

Nitro Gear!

[The five rangers press the "G" symbol on their belt buckles to make their chest logos glow, and produce the weapons.]

ARKIMEDES:
I better get to my Striker!

[Arkimedes retreats to his ship as the rangers gain the upper-hand and defeat the minions. They then see the Striker powering up.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Oh, no!

[The Red Ranger calls the Power Center.]

Alpha...we need the zords!

[Soon, the six zords arrive, and the rangers board them. They then strap in and put the vehicles into gear. The Red Ranger communicates to the others.]

Guys! Let's show this freak how we roll!

ALL RANGERS AND VEHANI:
Right!

[The zords battle the Striker, which then releases four M.E.G.s that were perched on it. The odds are more even. After a few, the M.E.G.s re-integrate into the Striker.]

Zords...Combine!

[All six zords join together to form the megazord.]

Nitro Defender Megazord...Ready To Rumble!

[The megazord battles the Striker for a bit.]

ARKIMEDES:
You rangers think you're sooo tough...lasers!

[The Striker open fire on the megazord. It proves to be way to powerful.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Oh, no! We gotta pull apart!

[The megazord breaks apart into it's components. Everyone re-groups.]

CONDOR:
Let's go after him with my flight mode, Adam!

RED NITRO RANGER:
Nitro Condorzord...Take Flight!

[Condor's flight mode is activated...he sprouts wings, and releases his talons.]

Fire lasers!

[The Nitro Condorzord fires on the Striker, which splits up, and goes after the others. The VehAni defend themselves until the Striker re-integrates and blasts them. Condor lands, and the Striker blasts him too.]

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
Oh, no! The controls! They won't respond.!

CONDOR:
Our power supply is low. Better get out...we'll revert to cast form.

[The rangers evacuate the zords as they revert. They are inoperable, as they need to recharge. Suddenly, two flying VehAni appear (one is red, gold, and white; the other is silver and black), and engage The Striker in a dogfight.]

ARKIMEDES:
What!? Two Wing Clan VehAni!? I thought they were stuck on Skya!

[The two mysterious VehAnii fire on the Striker to scrap it as Arkimedes retreats. The two mystery VehAni fly off.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
(as the others are too shocked to talk)
I don't know who those two were, but they did us a favor, guys.

CONDOR:
Arkimedes abandoned the Striker before it exploded..

RED NITRO RANGER:
He'll be back.

[The rangers are still shell-shocked after the tedious battle, but seem relieved that Arkimedes retreated. TO BE CONTINUED...]

ARGO:
You're a wus, Arki...you know that!?

ARKIMEDES:
No, I am not, Argo...I had those rangers beat...until two VehAni from Skya interfered from the air!

YOGO:
(angered)
What! How'd the rangers gain two more VehAni partners!?

METALIA:
I do have a Machine Beast in the chamber now.

[The Machine Beast exits the chamber as the quartet smirk proudly.]

SLICK:
The name's Slick! I'm here to tar and feather those pesky power brats!

METALIA:
Good! Now go and destroy them and the city!

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[At the base, the team is reviewing the battle with Arkimedes and his Striker...and the appearance of the two mysterious VehAni.]

ALPHA SIX:
There have been no other VehAni energy signatures detected.

CONDOR:
The two other VehAni are Falcon and Tiger. They are a part of the Wing Clan that inhabit one of Machia's moons...Skya.

RYDER SWANSON:
If there ever was a time that we needed help...this is it.

[Global's alarms ring out, alerting the team to an already giant Machine Beast in the city.]

ADAM PARK:
(handing Ryder his morpher)
Ry...I think you're ready...and itching to re-join the team.

RYDER SWANSON:
Oh, yeah! Okay everyone...let's go to work!

[The five unmorphed rangers prepare their morphers.]

ALL:

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Slick is busy covering the city in oil. The five rangers arrive, and promptly call in the zords.]

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
That dude's huge!

RED NITRO RANGER:
(into his morpher)
Alpha?

[Moments later, the six zords arrive, and then form the megazord.]

ALL RANGERS:
Nitro Defender Megazord...Ready To Rumble!

[The megazord and Slick go toe-to-toe, but the oil covered surface makes it impossible for the megazord to gain traction to fight. The two Wing Clan VehAni arrive and drive Slick away, then leave.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Those two helped us again!

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
Yeah...but the way they're doing things is getting tiring!

INT.-CITY-DOJO-DAY
[Later, the team is at the juice bar going over in their minds the previous battle to try and locate Slick's weaknesses.]

CHLOE WILCOX:
Guys...everything okay?

KEIKO OGAWA:
Yeah...it's just that with a new villain in town, the Machine Empire has been running us non-stop, lately.

CHLOE WILCOX:
What do you guys think about Adam and I hiring a couple other people to run the juice bar for now?

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
I think that it would be great for business.

[Ryder is getting some drinks for everyone, but accidentally spills a cup. He then uses a mop to wipe up the spill, then gets an idea on ow to defeat slick.]

RYDER SWANSON:
Chloe...you're idea is great...guys! I know how to defeat Slick!

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[Slick is in the chamber recharging. Arkimedes adds a pair of wings to him, then sends him back to the city.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[The rangers arrive to see the winged Slick, and Arkimedes' new Striker.]

SLICK:
I've earned my wings! Now, time for me to beat the tar out of you! Industrial Revolution!

voice of ALPHA SIX:
(on the Red Ranger's morpher)
Ryder...the zords are coming!

[The six zords arrive. The quintet board them, and strap in.]

NITRO RANGERS:
Nitrozords...Combine!

NITRO RANGERS:
Nitro Megazord...

DEFENDER RANGERS:
Defender Megazord...

ALL RANGERS:
...Ready To Rumble!

RED NITRO RANGER:
Alright, guys...let's go with the plan!

[The two megazords utilize two very big mops to wipe away the oil from Slick's body.]

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
You need a bath!

[The two megazords wipe away the oil, then get ambushed by the Striker.]

RED NITRO RANGER AND BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
{split-screen}
Not him again!

[The two megazords use their mops to swat the Striker away, then re-focus their attention on Slick.]

NITRO RANGERS:
(to the Defender Rangers)
Ready, guys!?

DEFENDER RANGERS:
Ready...Defender!

ALL RANGERS:
Grand Prix!

[Both megazords simultaneously perform their signature finishing attacks.]

SLICK:
(as he is destroyed)
I'm all tapped out!

[Slick blows up...and is destroyed. The two Wing Clan VehAni watch from a distance.]

ARKIMEDES:
You rangers are not done yet! I give you...Ampsquawk!

[A giant microphone monster appears in the city before the megazords.]

I'm off to destroy the forest...tah-tah, kiddies!

[The Striker flies off to the forest.]

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
Ryder...how do you want to handle this?

RED NITRO RANGER:
Think you can hold Arkimedes off until we get there?

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
Of course we can!

RED NITRO RANGER:
We'll get this guy, then join you.

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
Okay...we'll meet up later.

[The Defender Megazord breaks down into it's components, and departs for the forest.]

AMPSQUAWK:
Come on, rangers! Let's pump up the volume!

[Ampsquawk produces a very loud feedback sound, that hurts the rangers' ears, as well as every window in a ten mile radius.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
You're going down!

EXT.-FOREST-DAY
[The Defenderzords arrive. As the two Defender Rangers exit them, the VehAni revert to cast form.]

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
We're here...what do you want!?

ARKIMEDES:
How about a duel? A little sword-play!

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
You're on!

[The two Defender Rangers un-holster their Nitrolizers, insert their Super Nitro Cells, and convert their sidearms into Baton Mode, then charge at the villain.]

We...need to recharge.

Chloe and I will help you. Please release your Super Nitro Cells.

FALCON AND TIGER:
(weakly)
Thank you.

[The two weak VehAni do so, and the two staff members put them into the recharger..]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[The megazord quickly prepares to perform it's finisher.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Let's turn down his volume once and for all!

NITRO RANGERS:
Grand Prix!

[The megazord performs it's finishing attack to destroy the monster.]

EXT.-FOREST-DAY
[The two Defender Rangers are sword-fighting Arkimedes when the three Nitro Rangers arrive with their Nitrolizers already in Baton Mode.]

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
Ryder!?

RED NITRO RANGER:
Thought you guys could use some help!

[The five rangers battle Arkimedes...a few minutes later, the "so-called" military genius retreats. As the quintet prepares to depart for the base, they are interrupted by a giant Machine Beast that looks like a pile of sewage...Slimuck.]

The Nitrozords are depleted.

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
We'll handle it..

[The Defender Rangers pull out their casts and insert the cells to make the Defenderzords grow. The duo then board their zords, and get ready for battle.]

DEFENDER RANGERS:
Defenderzords...Combine!

[The three zords join together to form the megazord.]

Defender Megazord...Ready To Rumble!

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
He doesn't look so tough...let's make quick work of him.

DEFENDER RANGERS:
Defender Grand Prix!

[The megazord slices, shoots, and chomps Slimuck, who then implodes.]

Shutdown!

[The Defender Rangers de-morph as their zords revert to cast form. The already unmorphed Nitro Rangers join them to celebrate.]

RYDER SWANSON:
It's been a long day...let's go home.

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-NIGHT
[Falcon and Tiger finish charging up. They discuss their wishes to the staff.]

FALCON:
Zordon...first of all, thank you for the hospitality of you and your staff.. We have one more request...we are in need of partners. I'm afraid that your current rangers may not be strong enough to defeat Arkimedes.

TIGER:
But with our help, they will.

ADAM PARK:
Chloe and I agree...but how? What do you have in mind?

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-NIGHT
[Yogo has a Machine Beast charging up in the chamber as Arkimedes enters.]

ARKIMEDES:
Those last battles were pitiful, but the rangers are being pushed to their limits...as are their weak VehAni partners.

YOGO:
Well, I'll throw the rangers and Angel Grove another party...

[The blue dynamite-covered Machine Beast emerges from the chamber, and joins Yogo and Arkimedes.]

It'll be a blast!

[The trio laugh as the camera pan out. TO BE CONTINUED...]

Yes, master!

[Dynablast departs the base for the city.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Dynablast arrives in the city, and throws two sets of bombs, which land on two buildings as fearful citizens run. A group of Gearoids materialize, and join the Machine Beast's side as he detonates the bombs...the buildings explode.]

DYNABLAST:
I love the smell of burning rubble in the morning!

RED NITRO RANGER:
Hey, dud!

DYNABLAST:
I'm Dynablast, and I'm here to put the T-N-T into Nitro!

[Dynablast throws two sets of bombs to the rangers' feet.]

Fire In The Hole!

[Dynablast kneels down, and presses the plunger on the detonator on his right shin to blow up the bombs, and knock the quintet down. The Machine Beast throws two more, but Adam and Chloe catch them as the others struggle to recover.]

RED NITRO RANGGER:
Whoa!

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
Adam! Chloe! Get to safety!

DYNABLAST:
(kneeling, preparing to detonate the bombs in Adam and Chloe's hands)
You two are either very brave, or very stupid! Either way, it's time to rock your world!

[Dynablast tries to detonate the bombs, but Adam and Chloe throw the bombs at the Gearoids. Dynablast lows up is own soldiers, which makes him furious.]

My Gearoids! How dare you!

[Adam and Chloe produce their new Sky Grip morphers, to the shock of the other rangers. The duo insert their Sky Cells, then motion to press a hidden button on the grip.]

[The two Sky Rangers battle the Gearoids with ease as the other five watch.]

Hey, Chloe...ready to turn up the heat on them?

SILVER SKY RANGER:
Let's!

[The duo press the "G" symbol on their belt buckles. A small dagger materializes from their chest symbols. They then reach up and grab the daggers.]

SKY RANGERS:
Sky Daggers! Power Up!

[Dynablast tosses more bombs at the duo, and prepares to detonate them, but the Sky Rangers deflect them back to Dynablast, who inadvertently blows himself up...the toasted Machine Beast then retreats. The other five rangers join up with the new rangers.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Adam? Chloe? How? How'd...?

GOLD SKY RANGER:
We better get back to the Power Center.

[The seven rangers teleport out.]

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[The four villains are now fuming mad...there are now seven rangers and eight VehAni in the way to global domination.]

YOGO:
There are now seven rangers, and eight VehAni! How could this happen!?

ARKIMEDES:
I have a new plan...please come with me, sir.

[The two enter the chamber along with a recharging Dynablast. Metalia and Argo watch the suspicion.]

METALIA:
I don't trust Arkimedes, Argo...they're too secretive!

ARGO:
I know, Metalia...something's up.

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[A little later, Adam and Chloe are fully introduced to their powers by Falcon and Tiger.]

FALCON:
Adam and Chloe are the new Sky Rangers...

TIGER:
...Like your own powers, they derive from Machia, and are powered by us.

[Global's alarms alert the team to the nearby forest, where the Machine Empire is attacking a group of four innocent hikers.]

FALCON:
Adam...Chloe...we must put you through some final training.

KEIKO OGAWA:
What should we do?

RYDER SWANSON:
Isn't it obvious!? We go in there and kick evil robotic butt, and save those hikers!

ADAM PARK:
Try to stay in the battle, guys...we'll be there as soon as we can.

EXT.-FOREST-DAY
[Dozens of Gearoids are chasing the hikers, who try to evade them. A girl trips and falls, and her fellow hikers try to help her. Suddenly, the five rangers arrive.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Leave them alone!

[The Red Ranger un-holsters his Nitrolizer and inserts his Super Nitro Cell...he then fires the weapon at the Gearoids. After hitting two or three minions, the Red Ranger, along with the others leap in, and put themselves between the remaining Gearoids, and the hikers.]

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
(to the hikers)
Are you guys okay!?

[The lead hiker nods his head.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Let's get you guys outta here!

[The rangers rush through the forest to escort the hikers to safety, then explosions rock the area.]

It must be Dynablast!

[The ground in front of the quintet suddenly explodes, knocking them down.]

ARKIMEDES:

Infinity Beam!

[A red laser-like beam comes off of the blade, and encircles each of the rangers, and transforms into chains. The five rangers struggle to break free.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Maybe Yogo was right! Maybe this...is our end!

[Dynablast starts to toss more bombs at the five fallen rangers.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[The two Wing Clan VehAni finish giving Adam and Chloe their final lesson.]

ALPHA SIX:
(while looking at the viewscreen)
Oh, no,this is terrible! Aye-Yai-Yai! The rangers are in trouble!

[The two Sky Rangers are piloting their Skyzords.]

SKY RANGERS:
Skyzords...online!

GOLD SKY RANGER:
Falcon Firepower!

[Falcon releases two dozen missiles from her twin missile batteries.]

SILVER SKY RANGER:
Okay, Tiger...Tiger Missile!

[A single projectile is activated, and fired at the three villains, who then try to dodge the attacks as the Skyzords land so their partners can exit them. The Skyzords then vanish as the Sky Rangers land on a ridge.]

YOGO:
So, those are the new Sky Rangers...intriguing. I vow to defeat them...Gearoids!

[A dozen Gearoids materialize.]

[The triggers are pressed to send Falcon and Tiger's energies to Dynablast, who flies backward, and lands on his back near the other rangers, whose chains vanish. The quintet watch as the Sky Rangers finish off Dynablast.]

DYNABLAST:
I'm not done yet! Industrial Revolu...

[Dynablast is shocked when he feels that his Banki Energy vial is missing. He then sees the Gold Ranger holding it.]

GOLD SKY RANGER:
Looking for this?

DYNABLAST:
Give that back! Don't you know what you have done!?

[Dynablast cackles with green energy bolts, and falls as the Gold Ranger tosses the vial against some rocks to break it.]

GOLD SKY RANGER:
Guess he won't be needing this anymore!?

[Dynablast blows up, and is destroyed. The two Sky Rangers pose victoriously as the other five join them.]

And it feels great to have the Sky Rangers on board with us!

ADAM PARK:
Come on, guys...cheer up! You did your part before Chloe and I arrived.

RYDER SWANSON:
Yeah...we got into his Infinity Beam, and were tied up in chains!

CHLOE WILCOX:
Well, I'm going outside to hang this banner up.

ADAM PARK:
I'll be out there in a minute.

[Chloe exits the building.]

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[The villains are awaiting their next Machine Beast to exit the chamber.]

ARGO:
This is Vacusuck! His job is to absorb the rangers' weapons.

METALIA:
Argo...we tried that before with Cleptomag, and it didn't work!

ARGO:
Yes, but Vacusuck is way more powerful than him.

METALIA:
Let's just hope he doesn't live up to the last part of his name.

[Vacusuck exits the chamber, and heads to the city.]

EXT.-CITY-DOJO-DAY
[Chloe exits the building with a folded up banner, and a six-foot tall ladder, and walks over to where she wants to hang the banner. She climbs up the ladder and unfolds the banner, and starts to hang it when Vacusuck arrives.]

I was told that I can find the rangers here.

CHLOE WILCOX:
Well, you found one.

[Chloe prepares her Sky Grip, and somersaults off the ladder to the ground.]

Start Up!

[The suit of the Silver Sky Ranger "fully-forms" over Chloe. She then presses the "G" symbol on her belt buckle to summon her Sky Dagger.]

SILVER SKY RANGER:
Sky Dagger!

VACUSUCK:
Really!? Clean-up!

[Vacusuck absorbs the Silver Ranger into his vacuum cannister.]

VACUSUCK:
(as he grabs Chloe's Sky Grip from her)
Gotcha! Mmmm! That was good!

[Inside the cannister, Chloe reaches for her Sky Grip, but finds it missing. She instantly knows where it is.]

SILVER SKY RANGER:
My Sky Grip! He's got it!

[A few seconds later, Adam exits the dojo to help Chloe hang the banner. He does not see her, but Vacusuck instead, and puts two and two together of what happened.]

ADAM PARK:
What did you do to Chloe!?

VACUSUCK:
(as he tries to depart)
If you want to see the Silver Ranger again, come to the park, and hand over your powers, Gold Ranger!

ADAM PARK:
(as he prepares to morph)
You're not going anywhere! Start Up!

[The Gold Sky Ranger suit "flash-forms" over Adam.]

GOLD SKY RANGER:
Release her...now!

[The Gold Ranger shows his full rage to Vacusuck, and beats him endlessly. The Machine Beast then retreats to the park. Ryder then comes outside to see the Gold Ranger de-morphing.]

RYDER SWANSON:
Adam! What's going on!?

ADAM PARK:
That Machine Beast captured Chloe...and I'm going after him!

RYDER SWANSON:
Well, let's get going!

ADAM PARK:
Nah, you stay here...he's after me.

You could always use some back-up!

[Adam and Ryder arrive, and see that Vacusuck has Chloe tied to a tree trunk just a bit ahead of them.]

GOLD SKY RANGER:
(as he "insta-morphs")
Okay. Here's the plan...I will go and rescue Chloe while you confront the Machine Beast.

RED NITRO RANGER:
(as he "insta-morphs")
Sounds good to me. Let's go!

[The Red Ranger approaches Vacusuck and Chloe. The Gold Ranger approaches Chloe from behind to free her.]

You as a Machine Beast must be stuck on a low setting!

VACUSUCK:
The Red Ranger!? I wanted the Gold Ranger!

RED NITRO RANGER:
(noticing that Vacusuck has Chloe's Sky Grip)
Well, you got me instead...charge!

[The Red Ranger flips over the Machine Beast to take back the morpher, then joins the Gold Ranger and Chloe's side]

This belongs to us rangers.

VACUSUCK:
(noticing that the Gold Ranger freed Chloe)
Well, I still have the...hey!

CHLOE WILCOX:
Think again, loser!

RED NITRO RANGER:
(handing Chloe's Sky Grip back to her)
I believe this is yours?

CHLOE WILCOX:
(as she prepares to morph)
Thanks, guys! Start Up!

[The suit of the Silver Sky Ranger "fully-forms" over Chloe. The two Sky Rangers press the "G" symbol on their belt buckles to summon the Sky Daggers, as the Red Ranger un-holsters his Nitrolizer. The Sky Rangers then combine their daggers with the morphers to form the Sky Blasters.]

VACUSUCK:
What!?

ALL THREE RANGERS:
Fire!

[Vacusuck gets blasted by the firepower of the combined blast, and falls. His Banki Energy starts to flow through his body, and grows.]

Man! That's one big dirt-bag!

[Vacusuck and the megazord battle in hand-to-hand combat for a bit.]

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
Nitro Sword!

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
Victory Shield!

[The sword and shield form into the right and left hands respectively. After a few minutes, it is clear that the megazord in it's current formation is no match for the Machine Beast.. The two Sky Rangers pick up their casts, and insert their Super Nitro Cells.]

SKY RANGERS:
Skyzords...Cast-Off!

[The two Sky Rangers release the casts, and they grow into the zords. The duo board the giant vehicles, strap in, and put them into gear.]

[Fiery explosions errupt behind them.]

Let's Go!

[The seven rangers then press the "G" symbol on their belt buckles to make their chest logos glow, and produce their weapons.]

NITRO RANGERS AND DEFENDER RANGERS:
Nitro Gear!

SKY RANGERS:
Sky Daggers!

[The rangers battle the villains and Gearoids a bit with their weapons, then the Nitro Defender Cannon is formed.]

NITRO RANGERS AND DEFENDER RANGERS:
Nitro Defender Cannon! Fire!

[The team fires a blast at the seven machines, but it is ineffective.]

GOLD SKY RANGER:
Let's try something new!

[The two Sky Rangers attach the hilt end of their daggers to the silver/gray parts of the Orca Axe. The Gold Ranger then inserts his Super Nitro Cell.]

ALL RANGERS:
Booster Mode! Fire!

[Falcon's energy along with two circling energy bolts from the dagger blades are sent to the machines. As the smoke clears, the three Gearoids are now piles of junk, and the four villains are knock to their butts. The villains recover, and fire energy blasts at the rangers to cover their retreat.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
That got 'em!

INT.-CITY-DOJO-DAY
[The next day, the team tries to get back into their normal routines around the very busy dojo...Ryder and Matt teach their classes...Brandon, Keiko, and Jake are behind the counter at the juice bar...Adam and Chloe are at the front counter talking about the future of the business.]

CHLOE WILCOX:
Adam...I've been thinking...

ADAM PARK:
...I know. We may have to make some decisions around here.

[The two have somewhat of a grim look on their faces as they turn around to see the hustle and bustle of the activity in the dojo.]

EXT.-FOREST-DAY
[The Black and Gold Rangers are sparring. The Black Ranger is using his Nitrolizer in Baton Mode, while the Gold Ranger uses his Sky Dagger. After a few minutes of blade-hitting action, a Machine Beast arrives.]

SAWTOOTH:
Try your blades on me, rangers!

GOLD SKY RANGER:
(a bit exhausted)
Gladly! Let's get him, Matt!

[The two rangers battle the Machine Beast. When the two get Sawtooth into a "sandwich" move, they try to strike him with their weapons. During the swing of the weapons, Sawtooth evades the attack, causing the Black Ranger's baton to strike the Gold Ranger, and makes him spark, and collapse a bit.]

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
Adam! You alright?

GOLD SKY RANGER:
(while clinching his chest)
Yeah! I'll be fine!

SAWTOOTH:
(laughing)
You two are pathetic!

[Sawtooth vanishes.]

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
Shutdown!

GOLD SKY RANGER:
Touchdown!

[The suits vanish from the duo as they de-morph.]

MATT SANDOVAL:
Adam...I'm so sorry!

ADAM PARK:
Matt, don't worry...I'll be okay.

[Matt starts to doubt his ranger abilities as the two head back for the dojo.]

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[Sawtooth returns to recharge.]

YOGO:
You did well for your first outing, Sawtooth...next time, more destruction.

SAWTOOTH:
I promise, sir.

[Moments later, Sawtooth is fully recharged, and sent back to the city.]

INT.-CITY-DOJO-DAY
[Matt and Adam have returned to the dojo to help open the business for the day. Adam's chest is still hurting a little bit, and Matt still has the look of doubt on his face.]

RYDER SWANSON:
Hey, what happened out there?

ADAM PARK:
During our sparring, a Machine Beast showed up, and...sort of got the best of us.

MATT SANDOVAL:
We got him in a sandwich move, and he ducked...I accidentally hit Adam with my Nitrolizer. I feel so guilty!.

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
Cheer up, Matt.

MATT SANDOVAL:
(angered)
No, Jake! I hurt him while in the line of duty!

[The television near the juice bar counter depicts Sawtooth in the city, tearing down buildings...everyone sees it.]

ADAM PARK:
Time to go to work, guys!

ALL:
(while preparing their morphers)
Start Up!

[The suits fully-form over the seven team members, who then teleport out to where the Machine Beast is.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[The seven rangers arrive, and confront Sawtooth.]

SAWTOOTH:
Hello, rangers...all seven of you this time! Gearoids!

[A swarm of two dozen minion soldiers materialize from swirling nuts and bolts.]

GOLD SKY RANGER:
Let's dismantle them!

[The seven charge into battle. During the fray, Arkimedes teleports in, and joins Sawtooth's side.]

ARKIMEDES:
Gear Screw! Power Up!

[The Gearoids are made stronger, but are not strong enough as the rangers soon defeat the Gearoids, and turn their attention to Sawtooth and Arkimedes. Before facing the duo, the Red Ranger notices that a nearby building is about to collapse.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Guys! Look at that building!

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
There might be people in there!

[The three Nitro Rangers and the Green Ranger race to the building as the Black Ranger stays with the Sky Rangers to battle Sawtooth. The entire diversion gives Arkimedes and Sawtooth the chance to escape. After clearing the building, all the rangers de-morph.]

MATT SANDOVAL:
(doubtful)
Man! Not again!

[Matt hands his Defender Shifter to Adam. Everyone else is in shock.]

Adam...I don't deserve to be a ranger...not when I injured you so easily.

[Matt runs off toward Shidex Plaza...Adam follows as the others go back to the dojo.]

EXT.-CITY-SHIDEX PLAZA-DAY
[Matt is at a tree that was planted and "plaqued" in honor of a fallen police officer...Adam approaches.]

ADAM PARK:
Matt...what is really going on? You can tell me anything.

MATT SANDOVAL:
First of all, again...I'm sorry for hurting you.

ADAM PARK:
And for the "umpteenth-millionth" time, it's okay!

MATT SANDOVAL:
No...it's not. See that plaque?

ADAM PARK:
Yes. It's for Officer Patrick Gianetti.

MATT SANDOVAL:
Gianetti and I were partners when I was on the force. I...I'm the one that accidentally shot and killed him while we were chasing down a robber a few years ago. We got the robber in a sandwich formation. When I fired my service revolver, the robber ducked as I pressed the trigger.

ADAM PARK:
Matt...I have been a ranger off-and-on now for thirteen years. I know what can happen during a battle, and I've seen teammates go down due to an injury during the heat of a battle.

MATT SANDOVAL:
Like what happened to Ryder last month.

ADAM PARK:
Exactly! It's the price we pay for protecting the universe...

[Adam hands Matt back his morpher.]

...it comes with the morpher.

MATT SANDOVAL:
(as he straps the morpher back onto his left wrist)
Thanks, Adam.

ADAM PARK:
I'll leave you to collect your thoughts.

[Adam departs the area. A few minutes later, Sawtooth returns.]

MATT SANDOVAL:
You, again!

SAWTOOTH:
I saw that you're all by yourself?

MATT SANDOVAL:
(as he prepares his morpher)
Start Up!

[The suit "fully-forms" over Matt's body. A couple of kids get into the path of the battle as the other six rangers arrive.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Back off, dusty!

[The Nitro Rangers and the Black Ranger get the kids to safety while the Sky Rangers and the Green Ranger battle Sawtooth. At some point during the chaos, the trio defeat Sawtooth, who grows.]

SAWTOOTH:
Something that I can sink my teeth into!

RED NITRO RANGER:
(into his morpher)
Alpha...send the zords!

[Soon, a larger than usual zord case arrives...it now houses all eight zord casts. The seven rangers take hold of the eight casts, insert the Super Nitro Cells, and cast-off. Soon, they all board their zords, strap in and put them into gear.]

NITRO RANGERS:
Nitrozords...

DEFENDER RANGERS:
Defenderzords...

SKY RANGERS:
Skyzords...

ALL RANGERS:
...Online!

[The Nitro Rangers and Defender Rangers step on the gas to form a megazord.]

Nitro Defender Megazord...Ready To Rumble!

[The megazord and Sawtooth battle, but soon the Machine Beast gets the upper-hand.]

GOLD SKY RANGER:
(to the Nitro Defender Megazord)
You guys seem like you can use us...how 'bout we combine?

RED NITRO RANGER:
Let's do it!

[Falcon and Tiger land on the megazord's shoulders to form a new megazord combination.]

ALL RANGERS:
Nitro Defender...Superzord!

[Sawtooth just looks at the megazord, realizes that he is doomed!]

Super Grand Prix!

[The megazord releases the energies of all eight VehAni as a laser beam, and destroys the Machine Beast. The seven rangers celebrate in the cockpit.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[The seven de-morphed rangers teleport in, and celebrate a bit more. Global's alarms sound, and the team looks worried.]

ALPHA SIX:
Global's sensors are picking up an object heading this way!

ZORDON:
Friend or foe, Alpha?

ALPHA SIX:
Yes! The object is carrying a VehAni energy signature!

[The team members are happy that another VehAni is coming, but Falcon and Tiger are much more happier.]

FALCON:
It can only be one VehAni...Whale! The leader of the Wing Clan!

EXT.-CITY-SHIDEX PLAZA-NIGHT
[At sunset, Arkimedes returns to the battle site, to find Sawtooth's remains in a smoking crater.]

ARKIMEDES:
You're not done yet, my friend...time for an upgrade!

[Arkimedes scoops up the Machine Beast's remains, and departs for Mechanico Island.]

EXT.-CITY-AIRPORT-NIGHT
[A giant, blue airplane-like VehAni comes in for a landing on a nearby runway.]

voice of AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER:
This is Angel Grove air tower...please identify yourself!

[Whale lands on the runway, then taxis to a hangar....TO BE CONTINUED.]

Why, yes I am.

I'm from the magazine "Martial Arts Monthly." Here is my card. I've heard about your dojo, and would like to do a story.

[Adam's communicator beeps, he answers it.]

Go ahead!

voice of ALPHA SIX:

[The Silver Ranger trains her weapon on the sawdust.]

GOLD SKY RANGER:
Chloe! No!

[The Silver Ranger fires her weapon, causing a massive explosion. Amongst the flaming wreckage, the seven rangers recover. Meanwhile, Arkimedes arrives in a Striker, along with dozens of M.E.G.s.]

ARKIMEDES:
Hello, rangers!

RED NITRO RANGER:
Just what we don't need! Alpha...send the zords!

[The six initial zords arrive to the battlefield. The five rangers board their zords, and put them into gear, to go after the M.E.G.s and Arkimedes' Striker.]

GOLD SKY RANGER:
The Nitrozords and Defenderzords are going down! We gotta do something, Chloe!

[A blue-ish colored jumbojet approaches the battlefield...the Sky Rangers notice.]

That, my friends is Whale! Our leader from Skya! He's come to help!

CHLOE WILCOX:
We go two decisions...close the dojo...or hire three other employees

RYDER SWANSON:
Well, on behalf of us five...we can step back a bit, and go to volunteer status for a while.

(unanimously)
Yeah!

INT.-CITY-DOJO
[On a bright, sunny Friday morning, the seven team members are sitting in chairs at a rectangular table, all on one side. On the other side sitting in chairs are three teenagers, two males (TREVOR and DONOVAN) and a female (MIA). Adam, Chloe, and Ryder are in the middle of the seven.]

ADAM PARK:
Well, I have reviewed your applications and resumes with the others present here right now. You three have met what we were asking for...and...you are all hired to work here at the Park Martial Arts Center. Congratulations!

MIA:
Thank you, Mister Park...we won't let you down!

ADAM PARK:
Oh, one more thing...it's okay to call us by our first names. And, work starts Monday.

[The three hires nod in agreement, then exit.]

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[Yogo is furious, not to mention tired of Arkimedes' past failures.]

YOGO:
Arkimedes! You have failed me every single time since you have arrived! I'll give you one more chance to come up with a plan that will work!

[Arkimedes leaves the main chamber to come up with his plan.]

ARGO:
Yogo...Metalia...this is my latest Machine Beast...Balloonicus! I had Arkimedes build him, but I control him, and his powers of pollution!

BALLOONICUS:
(laughing as he exits)
I'll inflate those rangers' egos yet!

YOGO:
You know, this plan could work!

EXT.-CITY-PARK-DAY
[A disguised Balloonicus is in the park, handing out black, inflated rubber balloons to the swarms of children.]

BALLOONICUS:
Hy'a kids! Have a balloon!

[Several of the kids start to walk away with the black balloons...some pop, releasing toxic smog, which covers the city. Soon, the seven rangers arrive, and charge into battle against the Machine Beast.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Get 'em! Nitrolizers! Baton Mode!

GOLD SKY RANGER:
Sky Daggers!

[The rangers use their sidearms on the Machine Beast, but are ineffective.]

SKY RANGERS:
Sky Dagger...Sky Grip...Combine! Sky Blaster! Fire!

BALLOONICUS:
Whoa! I'm outta here for now!

[The two Sky Rangers manage to make Balloonicus retreat, leaving them a little confused.]

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[Yogo is alone...he ponders is own plan.]

YOGO:
It is time to put my own plan into action. Metalia! Argo!

[The two other generals enter the room.]

Time and time again, Arkimedes has failed us. King Gasket has ordered Arkimedes' execution, unless he can finish the job. Arkimedes!

[Arkimedes enters the room.]

ARKIMEDES:
Yes, General?

YOGO:
You have failed us one time too many! Defeat the rangers with Balloonicus, or face the consequences! Got it?

[Arkimedes lowers his head in shame.]

ARKIMEDES:
(ashamed)
Yes...sir.

[Arkimedes exits the room...Metalia and Argo look pleased.]

EXT.-FOREST-DAY
[All seven rangers are in the woods, sparring. The VehAni are there as well. The three groups of rangers spar against each other. Soon, Arkimedes, Balloonicus, and several Gearoids arrive to challenge them.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Let's go, guys!

[The rangers battle the Gearoids as Arkimedes and Balloonicus go into the city to begin the second part of their plan.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Arkimedes and Balloonicus attack the city. Balloonicus uses his powers to inflate several citizens, who then float into the air.]

EXT.-FOREST-DAY
[The rangers finish off the Gearoids.]

voice of ZORDON:
(on the Gold Ranger's communicator)
Rangers...Arkimedes and Balloonicus are in the city. The Machine Beast has inflated several citizens.

GOLD SKY RANGER:
Let's go, guys!

[The rangers leave for the city.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Balloonicus inflates more citizens when the rangers arrive.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
You know what...for a balloon, you are filled with hot air!

BALLOONICUS:
How dare you!

[The rangers have their sidearms.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Charge!

[The Nitro Rangers and Defender Rangers try their Nitrolizers in both modes against Balloonicus, but they're ineffective.]

ARKIMEDES:
(eagerly)
Let me at them!

[Arkimedes charges into battle, but does not fare so well...he comes out of the fracas clinching his chest.]

Gearoids!

[Several Gearoids appear, but are picked-off one-by-one by the Nitrolizer-wielding rangers, who then press the "G" symbol on their belt buckles.]

ALL RANGERS:
Nitro Gear!

[The rangers combine their weapons.]

Nitro Defender Cannon!

GOLD SKY RANGER:
(inserting Whale's Super Nitro Cell)
Inserting cell! Fire!

[Balloonincus is defeated by Whale's energy...then goes through the Industrial Revolution as the Banki Energy courses through his body, making him grow.]

BALLOONICUS:
I'm as big as a blimp!

RED NITRO RANGER:
(into his communicator)
Alpha! Send the zords!

voice of ALPHA SIX:
They're on their way!

[Within a few seconds, the zord case is teleported to a spot on the ground in front of the Red Ranger. The three Nitro Rangers and two Defender Rangers open the case and grab their zord casts. They then insert the Super Nitro Cells.]

NITRO RANGERS AND DEFENDER RANGERS:
Inserting cells! Cast-Off!

[The six zords grow into their zord sizes. The five rangers board their zords, and attach their morphers to the steering wheels, which makes the cockpits come alive. The rangers are immediately strapped into their seat-belts, then they put the zords into gear.]

ARKIMEDES:
I'll see your zords, and raise you a Striker and some M.E.G.s!

[Arkimedes boards a Striker as a swarm of M.E.G.s arrive in the city.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
I'll call your bluff, Arkimedes!

[The six zords battle the Striker and swarm of M.E.G.s. Soon, the zords make the Striker crash after destroying the M.E.G.s.]

NITRO RANGERS AND DEFENDER RANGERS:
Megazord mode!

[The six zords form two megazords.]

NITRO RANGERS:
Nitro Megazord!

Defender Megazord!

NITRO RANGERS AND DEFENDER RANGERS:
Ready To Rumble!

[The two megazords battle the Machine Beast as the Gold Sky Ranger battles Arkimedes in a one-on-one battle and the Silver Sky Ranger watches.]

ARKIMEDES:
You're going down, Gold Ranger!

GOLD SKY RANGER:
I don't think so, Arki!

BALLOONICUS:
Come on, rangers!

DEFENDER RANGERS:
Defender!

NITRO RANGERS AND DEFENDER RANGERS:
Grand Prix!

BALLOONICUS:
I don't think so! Balloon Bomb!

[Balloonicus repels the megazords' finishers, and knocks the six out of commission.]

Gotcha!

ARKIMEDES:
Come and get it, Gold Ranger!

GOLD SKY RANGER:
Okay! Golden Power Punch!

[The Gold Ranger manages to knock Arkimedes away. He and the Silver Ranger then grab their three casts.]

SKY RANGERS:
Skyzords! Insert Casts! Cast-Off!

[The three Skyzords grow into their giant forms. The two Sky Rangers board their zords and insert their Sky Grips, making their cockpits come to life, and straps the duo in.]

Let's fly!

[The three Skyzords fly into position.]

Skyzords...Combine!

[The three Skyzords join together to form the megazord.]

Sky Megazord...Ready For Take-Off!

[The Sky Megazord stands ready for battle.]

BALLOONICUS:
Oh, really? You think that you alone can destroy me?

GOLD SKY RANGER:
I'm tired of this guy! Let's burst his bubble!

SKY RANGERS:
Sky Impulse! Sky Grand Prix!

[The Sky Megazord performs it's finisher on Balloonicus to scrap him.]

BALLOONICUS:
Ah, I'm deflating!

[The Machine Beast explodes, and the team celebrates.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Well, he was full of hot air!

INT.MECHANICO ISLAND-NIGHT
[Arkimedes is seen begging at Yogo's feet, and groveling for forgiveness.]

ARKIMEDES:
General Yogo...please! Give me one more chance!

YOGO:
(yelling)
No!

ARKIMEDES:
(recovering to his feet)
Then...I...will banish myself from the palace. It has been an honor serving you, sir.

[Arkimedes begrudgingly departs the palace.]


INT.-CITY-DOJO-NIGHT
[Adam sees Brandon at the same table as seen before in Episode #12 when he worked on the Nitro Defender Megazord formation. Again, there are zord schematics and books all over the table-top.]

ADAM PARK:
Brandon...what's up?

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
With the intensity of the previous few attacks, I fear that a new megazord combination may be needed.

[Brandon shows Adam a sketch (the viewing audience cannot see the sketch).]

I introduce to you the Nitro Defender Ultrazord.

[The two un-morphed rangers look at the sketch with a concerned look on their faces.]

>>>TO BE CONTINUED...

No! You have failed me or the last time, Arki! You said that you can destroy the rangers, and you have not!

[Metalia and Argo look on with several Gearoids.]

Draw your weapon.

[Arkimedes draws his Math Sword as Yogo grabs his spear.]

ARKIMEDES:
I don't want to fight you, Yogo!

YOGO:
You give me no choice, Arki!

[The two battle...sword to spear. After a lengthy battle, Arkimedes starts to back off.]

Doomloom!

DOOMLOOM:
Yes, master!?

YOGO:
(as he wounds Arkimedes with his spear)
Finish him off!

DOOMLOOM:
(as Arkimedes departs the palace)
Yes, sir!

[The team (with the exception of Ryder) assists Brandon with re-programming the zords for Ultra Formation.]

CHLOE WILCOX:
Brandon, do you really think we can combine all nine zords?

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
We did it with six zords...and the VehAni said that we can do at least a twelve zord combination.

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[Global's sensors detect Doomloom and Arkimedes in the quarry.]

Arkimedes and Doomloom are in the quarry...it looks like they are fighting each other!

ADAM PARK:
Ryder! What's wrong!?

RYDER SWANSON:
Trouble in the city! Arkimedes and a Machine Beast are battling...each other!

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
Perfect timing...the re-programming is complete!

RYDER SWANSON:
Zordon wants to see us first.

[The seven depart the old Zeozord Bay.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[The seven enter the main base.]

ZORDON:
Rangers...the Machine Beast is called "Doomloom." And...yes, it does appear that they are battling each other. Use caution, and may the power protect you.

Prepare your morphers, guys!

[The seven prepare their morphers.]

ALL:
Start Up!

[The suits fully form over the seven, who then teleport to the quarry.]

EXT.-QUARRY-DAY

DOOMLOOM:
String Theory!

[Doomloom ties up Arkimedes with her strands of rope, then throws him off of a cliff. The rangers react in shock.]

YELLOW NITRO RANGER AND SILVER SKY RANGER:
(in shock and horror)
No!

[The rangers feel a bit sad for the way Arkimedes is being treated.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Come on, guys! He needs our help!

[The rangers rush to Arkimedes' aid, but the Gold Ranger has some reservations. When the seven get to Arkimedes' location, they see that he is badly hurt, and on the verge of shutting down.]

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
(trying to treat Arkimedes)
Easy! I know how to fix machines.

ARKIMEDES:
(weakly)
I know that I'm gonna shut down...for my last wish...I want to face the Gold Ranger in an air-speed race...my Striker versus the Falcon Skyzord.

GOLD SKY RANGER:
(reluctantly)
I don't know...oh, alright!

EXT.-FOREST-DAY
[At the launch site, the two get into their flying machines.]

No tricks.

GOLD SKY RANGER:
Yeah...I want to see where their hideout is.

[The two take of towards the island. Meanwhile, the Silver Ranger monitors the race in the Tiger Skyzord.]

SILVER SKY RANGER:
They just took off, guys...I'm following.

[Tiger lifts off, and follows Falcon and the Striker.]

EXT.-ISLAND-DAY
[The two flying machines arrive, with Tiger close behind.]

ARKIMEDES:
Well, I said no tricks, but I could not show you where the actual palace is. And, my injuries were a ruse...for honor, and rank.

[Doomloom makes his presence known as he grows.]

GOLD SKY RANGER:
(noticing Doomloom)
What!?

[Arkimedes and the Gold Ranger start to battle one-on-one. The Silver Ranger arrives in Tiger, and has Whale's cast and cell with her.]

Chloe!

SILVER SKY RANGER:
Thought you could use some help. I brought Whale with me.

SKY RANGERS:
Skyzords...go!

[The two Sky Rangers insert the cells into the casts, and release them. The duo then boards them.]

Skyzords...Combine!

[The three zords join together and form a megazord.]

Sky Megazord...Ready For Take-Off!

[Arkimedes uses the island's storm-ridden environment to ground the megazord for Doomloom.]

WHALE:
We can't fly now...the storm is too intense.

GOLD SKY RANGER:
Great!

DOOMLOOM:
String Theory!

[Doomloom uses her strands of rope to tie up the megazord.]

SILVER SKY RANGER:
She's got us!

[The other rangers arrive in the other two megazords, but are unaware of Arkimedes' betrayal as they attack Doomloom.]

Guys! Arkimedes betrayed Adam!

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[Alpha sees that the Ultra Formation had been activated.]

ALPHA SIX:
Zordon! The Ultrazord!

ZORDON:
Rangers...that is the Nitro Defender Ultrazord! It's finishing attack is the Ultra Grand Prix...a stronger version of the Nitro Defender Grand Prix used with the Nitro Defender Megazord.

EXT.-ISLAND-DAY
[Arkimedes is very angry, and orders Doomloom to take down the new megazord.]

ARKIMEDES:
Doomloom! You know what to do!

[The megazord and Doomloom stand toe-to-toe. The megazord then backs off a bit. The two behemoths now stand about two hundred feet apart as the weather clears.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Let's do it, guys!

[The Nitro and Defender Rangers remove the Steering Blasters, and the two Sky Rangers form their Sky Blasters.]

ALL RANGERS:
Inserting V-Cells! Ready! Ultra Grand Prix!

1728-"YELLOW MELODY"
Original Episode
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
INT.-CITY-DOJO-DAY
[Keiko enters the building while holding a piece of paper...it's a flyer advertising a singing contest. She goes over to the main counter where everyone is hanging out.]

KEIKO OGAWA:
(giving the flyer to Chloe to read)
Hey, guys! I got this flyer! It's for a singing contest!

CHLOE WILCOX:
Keiko...have you read the fine print? It says that you need to submit a demo C.D..

KEIKO OGAWA:
It does!? Oh well...I guess I'll have to go make one.

INT.-MECANICO ISLAND-DAY
[Metalia prepares a new Machine Beast. She is called "SONGSTRESS," and is based on a metronome device, used to keep tempo while playing music.]

METALIA:
Songstress! Go to the city and make a racket!

SONGSTRESS:
My pleasure!

[Songstress departs the palace.]

INT-CITY-SHIDEX PLAZA-RECORDING STUDIO-DAY
[Keiko is inside recording a song ("Save Some Love," originally by "Keedy." The control room employees bop and groove to the music.

KEIKO OGAWA:
(singing some of the song's lyrics)
Sometimes I feel like your swinging door
With you walking in and out and in and out
I've never been so in love before and then I'd have to do without you

Guess I thought I could be strong
Guess I could not wait too long
Guess you can't do no wrong
So baby could you...

Save some of your love for me
Save some love for me

[Suddenly, everyone sees Songstress outside attacking, and citizens are fleeing the area.]

EXT.-CITY-SHIDEX PLAZA-RECORDING STUDIO-DAY
[In the confusion, Keiko goes outside to confront the Machine Beast.]

SONGSTRESS:
Hello, girly! The name's Songstress!

KEIKO OGAWA:
(while preparing her morpher)
Great! Another Machine Beast with a bad taste in music! Start Up!

[The Yellow Ranger suit "flash-forms" over Keiko. She then speaks into her morpher.]

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
Guys...there's a Machine Beast at Shidex Plaza!

[The Yellow Ranger prepares to battle the monster.]

SONGSTRESS:
A Power Ranger!

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
That's right...and you're going down, Songstress!

SONGSTRESS:
Bring it!

[After the Yellow Ranger battles the Machine Beast for a few minutes, the other rangers arrive, and Songstress retreats, leaving the rangers a bit confused.]

INT.-CITY-DOJO-DAY
[The next day, Keiko arrives at the dojo, and joins the others.]

KEIKO OGAWA:
Well, I took the demo C.D. to the televison station last night...they're due to announce the winner in a few minutes.

[Chloe turns on the television near the juice bar counter.]

voice of NEWS ANCHOR:
Well, in local news, W.D. Records just held a singing contest for residents of the Angel Grove area. All the participants had to was to submit a demonstration of their talents onto a compact disc...and tonight we have a winner. She's Keiko Ogawa from right here in Angel Grove. Keiko, please contact our station for further details.

KEIKO OGAWA:
(in shock)
Whoa! I...can't believe...I won!

CHLOE WILCOX:
(while handing Keiko a cordless telephone)
Better call the station.

[Keiko goes into Adam's office so she can call the station.]

voice of NEWS ANCHOR:
We have breaking news...the monster that the Power Rangers face earlier has returned to Shidex Plaza. Please stay out of the area as the rangers will be arriving soon. Stay tuned as information becomes available.

ADAM PARK:
Let's go guys! Brandon...get Keiko!

[Brandon goes into Adam's office to tell Keiko of the monster attack as they depart the dojo.]

EXT.-CITY-SHIDEX PLAZA-DAY
[The Machine Beast is terrorizing the citizens with about twenty Gearoids. The seven un-morphed rangers arrive and confront the bad guys.]

SONGSTRESS:
(to Keiko)
Ah, you again...and I see you brought your friends!

RYDER SWANSON:
'Ya know...you're starting to be like a broken record!

SONGSTRESS:
Really!? Well, all my friends say that I'm a number one hit!

[A energy blast is fired at the Machine Beast, but her metronome part deflects the attack.]

SONGSTRESS:
(while revving up the metronome part)
You'll have to do better than that!

[The metronome's ticking attacks the rangers with an energy blast. The rangers spark and flail before collapsing and de-morphing.]

RYDER SWANSON:
(weakly, as he and the others struggle to recover)
Yow! That smarted!

[The three generals teleport in.]

Good work, Songstress! Now, let's finish the job!

[The generals and Songstress approach the fallen rangers as they continue to recover.]

We need a better plan to battle Songstress.

EXECUTIVE #1:
This is your music contract...sign here...here...and initial here.

KEIKO OGAWA:
(realizing that her new career will take her away from her ranger duties.)
Sir...can I read this over more, and think about this before signing?

EXECUTIVE #3:
(after conferring with the other two executives)
Sure...just don't wait too long.

INT.-CITY-DOJO-DAY
[Keiko arrives, and talks to the others about the recording contract.]

KEIKO OGAWA:
I think this contract will threaten my ranger duties.

ADAM PARK:
Keiko...this is your decision. You wanted this for a long time.

KEIKO OGAWA:
(a bit dejected)
Then...I know what I must do.

[Keiko departs the dojo.]

voice of ALPHA SIX:
(on Adam's communicator)
Rangers...Songstress is back in the city!

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Songstress makes more citizens flee in fear with a few Gearoids.]

SONGSTRESS:

Zords...Combine!

[The three megazords (NItro, Defender, and Sky) are formed.]

>>>END OF EPISODE.

"SAVE SOME LOVE" by Keedy, sung by Brenda Song as "Keiko Ogawa"
Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray for your love to keep
If you should leave before dawn remember this
While you are gone

Sometimes I feel like your swinging door
With you walking in and out and in and out
I've never been so in love before and then I'd have to do without you

Guess I thought I could be strong
Guess I could not wait too long
Guess you can't do no wrong
So baby could you...

Save some of your love for me
Save some love for me
Cause you know I need your love baby

The day and week and season change
And then you slip back into my world
I hate the thought it sounds so strange
But I, I want to be your number one girl

Heaven help me to let you go
Heaven help me to tell you no
Heaven help me I love you so
So baby could you

Save some of your love for me
Save some love for me
Cause you know I need your love baby

Oh baby save your love
I need you wrong or right
Under the stars above
I'm wishing every night
What can I give to you
So that you have to see
So that you will be true
And save your love for me

Save some of your love for me
Save some love for me
Cause you know I need your love baby
Save some of your love for me
Save some love for me
Save some love

NEXT TIME ON POWER RANGERS: NITRO DEFENDERS...

"Ryder Of The Storm"
There is trouble on Machia, so Ryder and Condor travel to the planet to combat the threat in a two-part episode.

THAT'S NEXT WEEK (August 22), ONLY ON V-BULLETIN!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEDICATED TO MY BROTHER:
SHAWN PATRICK CLARK
September 16, 1982-August 15, 2005

[NightRanger]

1729-"RYDER OF THE STORM (1)"
Loosely Based Upon:
Engine Sentai Go-onger: BOOM BOOM! BANG BANG!GekijoBANG!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
INT.-MACHIA-PALACE-DAY
[Three monstrous beings parade through the streets. The female of the three, Acitica makes it rain acid. An unknown being looks out a window at all the destruction.]

UNKNOWN BEING (G.T.):
(talking to a small robot)
Send a distress signal to Earth.

PIT:
Yes, sir!

UNKNOWN BEING:
We need help.

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[The next day, Ryder and Condor meet with Zordon and Alpha.]

ZORDON:
Ryder...Condor...last night, we received a distress signal.

RYDER SWANSON:
From where?

ALPHA SIX:
Machia.

CONDOR:
Machia!?

RYDER SWANSON:
When do we depart?

ALPHA SIX:
After I spray Condor's cast with this solution.

[Ryder looks at Zordon with a puzzled look.]

ZORDON:
One of the attacking beings can use acid-based attacks.

ALPHA SIX:
There.

[Ryder takes Condor's cast, and teleports to the forest.]

EXT.-FOREST-DAY
[Ryder arrives with Condor's cast, and inserts the Super Nitro Cell. Ryder then casts-off the cast to let Condor grow.]

RYDER SWANSON:
Okay, Condor...let's go!

[Ryder then climbs into the Nitro Condorzord, and activates the cockpit by installing the Nitro Morpher onto the steering wheel, which also activates the seatbelts.]

Nitro Condorzord...Take Flight!

[Condor morphs into his flight mode in order to take-off as Arkimedes watches from his nearby hiding spot.]

ARKIMEDES:
(as he peels back some tree branches to see)
I wonder where they're going.

[Arkimedes releases the tree branches to conceal himself.]

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[The three generals witness Condor's departure...as does King Gasket, who then contacts his generals by viewscreen.]

KING GASKET:
Yogo!

YOGO:
(turning around)
Yes, sire!?

KING GASKET:
I see that Condor has departed Earth, and is heading for Machia.

YOGO:
That is what we assume, sire..

KING GASKET:
Well, I have a little surprise for him when he arrives there. In the meantime, you three deal with the other six rangers.

EXT.-MACHIA-NIGHT
[Ryder and Condor arrive. They see the Machian landscape in ruins...buildings are pieces of rubble, or on fire. They two heroes are in shock and disbelief as Condor lands on a roadway.]

RYDER SWANSON:
(as he prepares his morpher)
Come on Ryder...your people need help! Start Up!

[The Red Nitro Ranger suit "flash-forms" over Ryder's body.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Condor...hone in on the origin of the distress signal.

CONDOR:
Ryder...the signal came from the Administration Building.

RED NITRO RANGER:
Let's go!

[Condor and the Red Ranger depart for the building. While en-route, Condor tells the Red Ranger about the Administration Building, and what it's for.]

CONDOR:
The Administration Building is like your City Hall in Angel Grove. Only here, it is primarily used by our military, and their leader, G-T

RED NITRO RANGER:
Do you think G.T. sent the distress signal?

CONDOR:
Either him, or his robotic assistant, Pit.

[Soon, the two see the source of Machia's current problems...Acitica, Raiko, and Goko.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Well, well, well! I think we found Machia's problem!

[The Red Ranger leaps out of Condor's roof to combat the evil trio.]

ACITICA:
So, there is a Power Ranger on Machia!?

RAIKO:
Princess Maki...

GOKO:
(finishing Raiko's sentence)
...Won't be happy!

[The three Machine Beasts battle the Red Ranger, who presses the "G" symbol on his belt buckle to make his secondary weapon materialize.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Condor Blade!

[The three Machine Beasts soon prove to be too much for the Red Ranger to take on alone. He then leaps back onto Condor's roof and makes his sword vanish.]

Condor Flame!

[The zord's attack sends flames shooting out of the engine block to clear path on the road. The Red Ranger then gets back into the zord, and departs as a female voice tells the Machine Beast trio to return to the palace.]

EXT.-MACHIA-ADMINISTRATION BUILDING-NIGHT
[Condor pulls up in front of the building.]

CONDOR:
We're here.

[The Red Ranger exits the zord, and Condor reverts to cast form. The Red Ranger puts the cast into his pouch, and the cell into his holster.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Let's go.

[The Red Ranger enters the building.]

INT.-MACHIA-ADMINISTRATION BUILDING-NIGHT
[The Red Ranger investigates the seemingly vacant building. He turns on his helmet's headlights to try and find
G-T's office. Soon, the Red Ranger finds it, and enters.]

PIT:
Who's there!?

CONDOR:
It's Condor...I brought a trusted friend!

RED NITRO RANGER:
I am Ryder Swanson...a Power Ranger...from Earth...I've come to help!

G,T,:
(revealing his identity)
My name is G-T. I am the military leader. Even though my authority over this place has been taken over by the ruling monarch...Princess Maki.

RED NITRO RANGER:
Well, we did run into triple the trouble on our way here...Machine Beasts.

G,T,:
Yes...Maki's servants...Acitica, Raiko, and Goko. Acitica is the only true Machine Beast...Raiko and Goko are known as BioMach Beasts. Either way, they're trouble.

INT.-MACHIA-ROYAL PALACE-NIGHT
[A humanoid woman dressed in a white gown is being debriefed by her three servants.]

PRINCESS MAKI:
There is a Power Ranger here!? Did you destroy him?

RAIKO:
No, your majesty...he almost destroyed us!

GOKO:
He even has a VehAni partner!

PRINCESS MAKI:
Yes, I know. My parents tell me of them. They are trouble for our cause. I want to meet that ranger and his partner, and destroy them.

ACITICA:
Well, right now, they are meeting with G.T. at the Administration Building.

PRINCESS MAKI:
I have a feeling that he will interfere with our plans. Take me to the the Administration Building...now!

[The four evils depart the palace.]

INT.-MACHIA-ADMINISTRATION BUILDING-NIGHT
[G.T. learns from his computer system that they are about to have company, and tells the Red Ranger.]

G.T.:
I think that we are about to have some company, Ryder...sensors detect machines heading this way.

RED NITRO RANGER:
Condor and I will be ready, G.T..

G.T.:
There is one thing you should know...Maki is the daughter of the Machine Empire royals...King Gasket and Queen Archerina.

RED NITRO RANGER:
(looking out a window)
Here they come!

G.T.:
(while pulling out a box)
Ryder...you may need this.

[Ryder takes hold of the box, and opens is. It looks like a blue and white colored Defender Shifter.]

Your powers in their current form may not be enough to defeat the three monsters and Maki. This is the MOTO-Battlizer, and this is the Battle Cell to activate it. The activation command is "MOTO-Battlizer, Start Up!"

[The Red Ranger looks at the morpher, then hears the commotion outside. He then straps the morpher onto his left wrist, and turns on the device. The simple activation makes the Red Ranger's Nitro Morpher and chest logo glow red.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
(feeling the power)
This thing is powerful!

G.T.:
I wish you the best of luck, Red Ranger. If I do not make it, tell the other VehAni that I am proud of them.

RED NITRO RANGER:
You can tell them yourself. You will survive.

[The Red Ranger rushes out of the room, and makes his way to the outside.]

EXT.MACHIA-ADMINISTRATION BUILDING-NIGHT
[The four evil beings await the Red Ranger, who then exits the building. Acitica, Raiko, and Goko prepare to engage the Red Ranger in battle.]

ACITICA:
So, we meet again, Red Ranger! BioMach Beasts!

RAIKO AND GOKO:
We are ready, Acitica!

PRINCESS MAKI:
Red Ranger! I am the monarch leader of this planet...and I order you to leave!

RED NITRO RANGER:
You are not the true ruler of this planet...G.T. is the true ruler of the planet right now, and I'm here to make sure he takes the throne!

PRINCESS MAKI:
Oh, really!?

RED NITRO RANGER:
(posing)
Screech Of The Condor! Red Nitro Ranger!

[Pressing the "G" symbol on his belt.]

Condor Blade!

PRINCESS MAKI:
Charge!

[The three monsters charge at the Red Ranger, as he charges at them. After a few minutes, the evil trio gain the upper-hand. The Red Ranger prepares his battlizer.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Inserting Battle Cell!

[The Red Ranger inserts the cell, and presses a button.]

MOTO-Battlizer...Start...Up!

[The villains look hesitant as Maki looks on in anger.]

>>>TO BE CONTINUED...

(on Ryder's morpher)
Ryder...I'm tracking them...they're heading for Earth. You should go...I can handle Maki.

RYDER SWANSON:
Thank you for everything, G.T.

[Ryder takes out Condor's cast, and inserts the Super Nitro Cell. Ryder then casts-off the cast to let Condor grow.]

Okay, Condor...let's go home.

[Ryder then climbs into the Nitro Condorzord, and activates the cockpit by installing the Nitro Morpher onto the steering wheel, which also activates the seatbelts.]

Oh, no!

Whoa!

[The evil six start to gain the upper-hand as they start to get tired. Condor soon arrives with the Red Ranger.]

(contacting the Power Center)
Zordon...I'm back. I'm teleporting Condor's cast and Super Nitro Cell to the base to recharge. I'm gonna help the others!

[Ryder then approaches the battle, and sees six fallen rangers.]

Don't worry, guys...I've got it covered.

[Ryder confronts the six amidst rubble..]

Let's finish off these guys! MOTO-Wing!

[The wings fold downward to a horizontal position.]

Fire!

[The wing's missiles are fired at the three monsters. All three go down as the rangers celebrate, but are interrupted when the three grow.]

GOLD SKY RANGER:
(into his communicator)
Alpha...send the zords!

RED MOTOR RANGER:
You guys take on the three uglies up there...I'll take on the three generals.

OTHER RANGERS:
Right!

Great job, Donovan...keep it up. You know what, why don't you guys go ahead and go on home...I'll lock up.

EXT.-PARK-DAY
[The rangers are in the park battling Arkimedes. It seems that they have been fighting for quite some time ]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Let's finish him off...once and for all!

[After a few minutes, the seven rangers drive off Arkimedes.]

ALL RANGERS:
(while the suits vanish from their bodies, leaving them in their street clothes.)
Shutdown!

KEIKO OGAWA:
(confused)
Why'd he leave?

RYDER SWANSON:
(puzzled)
I don't know.

ADAM PARK:
I have a bad feeling about this. Let's go to the Power Center...maybe we can find out what the Machine Empire's up to.

[The seven depart for their base in the mountains outside of the city.]

EXT.-FOREST-DAY
[Arkimedes is hiding out deep in the woods. He is sitting on a log, refusing to accept defeat; and trying to come up with a plan. He remembers when he became Yogo's subordinate.]

ARKIMEDES:
(realizing what he must do)
Tactics alone will not defeat the rangers. I must rely on raw power!

[Arkimedes departs the woods, and heads back to Mechanico Island.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[The seven team members meet with Zordon and Alpha to discuss the current situation with Arkimedes.]

ADAM PARK:
Is there any idea of what the Machine Empire is planning?

ZORDON:
I'm afraid not.

ALPHA SIX:
Rangers! Global's picked up something! A Machine Empire energy signature traveling from the forest to Mechanico Island!

RYDER SWANSON:
That's where we battled Arkimedes!

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
I bet that's him!

MATT SANDOVAL:
Good! He's retreating!

ALPHA SIX:
I'll keep an eye on him!

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[Arkimedes sneaks through a hidden cave under the palace, and heads to Argo's laboratory. He soon enters the room.]

Ah! Look at all this Banki Energy! If I consume a mass amount of this, I'll become the most powerful machine ever!

[Arkimedes drinks several gallons of Banki Energy vials as the three generals enter the room.]

YOGO:
(upset)
Arkimedes! What are you do...stop!

ARGO:
(upset)
He's drinking the Banki Energy!

METALIA:
(upset)
Don't you realize what you have done!?

ARKIMEDES:
(going insane)
Yes! I've become more powerful!

[Arkimedes transforms into a more hideous form of himself. He then frightens the generals so he can depart the palace.]

Those puny Power Rangers are mine! Then! I will be the new ruler of the Empire!

[Arkimedes departs the palace through a hole he had punched through the wall to escape.]

METALIA:
(afraid)
Gasket and Archerina are not gonna like this!

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[The team ponders over Arkimedes' last appearance. Soon, Global's alarms ring out to alert the team to the new Arkimedes.]

ALPHA SIX:
Aye-yai-yai! Rangers! Arkimedes is back in a new form!

[The team rushes to the viewscreen to see the new Arkimedes. They are in shock when they see Arkimedes' new form.]

ADAM PARK:
(in shock, checking the sensors)
Whoa! He's got a huge amount of Banki Energy in him!

RYDER SWANSON:
How much!?

ADAM PARK:
(still in shock)
It's off the charts!

[The others are still in shock.]

CHLOE WILCOX:
Come on guys, let's go! It's gonna be one long battle!

[The seven team members move over to a more open area, and get into formation. They prepare their morphers.]

ALL:
Start Up!

[The suits "flash-form" over the seven.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Arkimedes, who is already grown, is in the middle of the city awaiting the seven rangers.]

ARKIMEDES:
(menacing)
Rangers! Come out and play!

[The rangers soon arrive in the Nitro Defender Ultrazord. The two behemoths then go toe-to-toe, and battle.]

RED NITRO RANGERS:
You want us? You got us!

GOLD SKY RANGER:
Let's down this clown!

[After battling a bit, Arkimedes defeats the megazord by knocking it down with a thud...the cockpit sparks wildly.]

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
All systems are down! We're losing power!

RED NITRO RANGER:
Brandon! How much power do we got left?

GOLD SKY RANGER:
What'cha got in mind, Ryder?

RED NITRO RANGER:
I wanna take Arkimedes out! Once and for all...with our signature attack!

[Arkimedes is about to land a destructive blow to the megazord, but hesitates. The two are now within several feet of each other.]

Ultra...Grand...Prix!

[The megazord releases it's energy through the individual VehAni eyes at point-blank range to Arkimedes, who shrinks down to normal size. He then recovers.]

My turn!

[The Gold Ranger exits the megazord to battle Arkimedes in hand-to-hand combat.]

SKY WEAPON:
Mission Five!

GOLD SKY RANGER:
Shooting Dagger!

[The Gold Ranger's Sky Dagger shoots at Arkimedes with energy pellets...a few hit their intended target. Soon, the Gold Ranger and Arkimedes have worn each other out, and both collapse in exhaustion. The Red Ranger exits the megazord, and jumps down to the ground.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Condor Blade!

[The sword materializes from a glowing chest symbol. He then grabs the weapon, then tries to battle Arkimedes, but he still too powerful.]

ARKIMEDES:
Bring it, Red Ranger!

[The Red Ranger tries to use his sword to battle the villain, but he is still too powerful. He the goes to tend to his fallen comrade.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Adam! You okay!?

[The Gold Ranger acknowledges his comrade. The Red Ranger then presses the "G" symbol on his belt buckle to summon his secondary weapon.]

GOLD SKY RANGER:
Ryder...here.

[The Gold Ranger flips the switches and twists the dial on the dagger, and gives it to the Red Ranger. The Red Ranger switches the Condor Blade to his left hand so he can grasp the Sky Dagger in his right.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
You sure about this?

[The Gold Ranger looks at the Red Ranger to give him his answer.]

GOLD SKY RANGER:
Take him down!

[The Red Ranger turns to approach and face Arkimedes with both bladed weapons. After a dramatic stare-down, the Red Ranger charges at Arkimedes, and slices him. The villain then recovers.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
(dumbfounded)
What!?

ARKIMEDES:
You call that an attack, Red Ranger!?

RED NITRO RANGER:
No...this is what I call an attack...Moto Battlizer!

[The battlizer morpher appears on the Red Ranger's left wrist. He inserts his Battle Cell, and presses the button, and pulls down the lever as he shouts the morph command.]

Start Up!

[The Battlizer armor then forms onto the Red Ranger's body.]

RED MOTOR RANGER:
(as the wings form, then poses)
Flight Of Power, Red Motor Ranger, Burning Up!

ARKIMEDES:
Back for more!?

RED MOTOR RANGER:
[The Red Ranger tosses his Condor Blade into the air, and flies upward to land on the blade.]

Wings...retract.

[The wings vanish from the armored ranger. He then rides the sword like a hoverboard, and rockets toward Arkimedes.]

ARKIMEDES:
(as he fires several mini-missiles at the Red Ranger)
Have some missiles!

[The Red Ranger dodges Arkimedes' missiles, and slices through the villain. Arkimedes then cackles with blue energy bolts. The Red Ranger then lands the hoverboard-sword as the others watch Arkimedes collapse and explode. The seven rangers celebrate.]

SILVER SKY RANGER:
Yes! Arkimedes is no more!

[The seven rangers depart for the Power Center as the sun starts to set.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-NIGHT
[An exhausted group of seven continue to celebrate their huge victory...Arkimedes is no more.]

ZORDON:
Job well done, rangers...victory is yours!

[The team is elated.]

EXT.-CITY-NIGHT
[Yogo arrives at the still smoking remains of Arkimedes.]

YOGO:
(Yogo picks up Arkimedes' sword, which is sticking into the ground, blade first reminiscent of a Quasar Saber in the rock on Mirinoi. Yogo is visibly shaken.)

I will take your Math Sword, and avenge your death, my friend...the Power Rangers will be defeated in your honor!

I'll check Global's sensors...

[There is a bit of a pause.]

Rangers...three humans were abducted in the park yesterday evening by a swarm of Gearoids.

(to Jake)
You think they're trying to turn humans into Gearoids again, Jake?

I don't know.

ADAM PARK:
Thanks...we'll be there soon. Chloe...are there any classes today?

I think we better get to the Power Center to see Global's video.

[The seven teleport to the base.]

[The four three generals detect a faint machine-like energy signature in Angel Grove Hills, and swarm over the viewscreen that is trying to hone in on it.]

INT.-ANGEL GROVE HILLS-CRAWFORD INN-DAY

I don't know, but we should tell the others.

[Keiko and Chloe go back inside as Metalia and Argo locate the energy signature...it's coming from the statue inside the inn.]

Guys! Metalia and Argo are on the beach!

[The two villains enter the house, and try to wrestle the statue from Brandon's hands.]

METALIA:
Give us the statue!

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
No, way!

[Metalia then overpowers Brandon, and takes the statue.]

Give it back!

METALIA:
I don't think so!

RYDER SWANSON:
Since they have the statue, we must destroy it!

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
We can't!

[In the confusion of the fracas, Whale speaks to the team.]

WHALE:
Rangers...that is no ordinary statue...I am reading a Machine Empire-like energy signature...one of a Machine Knight from the Mechanix Empire, who tried to invade Machia before Gasket and company.

[The seven are in shock as Metalia revives the Machine Knight.]

Metalia...maybe he can use this?

They're on their way!

[Within seconds, the nine zords arrive on the scene. The Defender Rangers and Sky Rangers board their zords and activate the cockpits by plugging in their morphers onto the steering wheels.]

ARGO:
Oh no you don't! Gearoids!

voice of RED NITRO RANGER:
Adam! We got some Gearoids to deal with...you guys handle Quixote, and we'll join you soon!

GOLD SKY RANGER:
Right! Sky Megazord!

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
Okay! Defender Megazord!

[After a brief zord-monster battle, Quixote drains both megazords of power, and both collapse. The Nitro Rangers finish off the Gearoids, and notice that their comrades are in trouble.]

[The three Nitro Rangers board their zords and activate the cockpits by plugging in their morphers onto the steering wheels.]

[The three Nitrozords combine to form a megazord.]

Nitro Megazord...Ready To Rumble!

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
Guys! I have something that will help the others!

RED NITRO RANGER:
Really!? What?

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
This is the Starter Cell. With it, I can re-power the other two megazords.

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
Brandon, that's brilliant!

[Brandon inserts the cell into his control panel. Soon, Lion's eyes glow, and shoot a blue energy beam to the other megazords, which recover and get up to join the Nitro Megazord's side.]

[Yogo is furious as usual as Metalia and Argo return in failure.]

YOGO:
Even with a member of the Mechanix Empire, you failed!?

METALIA:
Yes, but Quixote told us of his leader, who is buried on the beach!

ARGO:
We're gonna dig him tomorrow!

YOGO:
You know what? I am liking the plan!

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[The seven team members teleport in, and report to Zordon and Alpha.]

ALPHA SIX:
Rangers! Good job!

ADAM PARK:
Well, I think our job as rangers may get a bit harder.

ALPHA SIX:
Really!? How so?

ADAM PARK:
Well, we defeated Quixote, a Machine Knight of the Mechanix Empire, but he mentioned to Metalia that his leader is buried on the beach. Whale filled us in on their history

ZORDON:
Rangers...with the Machine Empire attempting to resurrect old allies, you must be ready for whatever they plan.

ADAM PARK:
We'll be ready.

[The team looks concerned.]

Time and time again, you all keep losing to the rangers...even when you have help! Well, no more to worry about. I have some help is coming...another general...and his subordinates are on their way, and will be here tomorrow.

METALIA:
No! Not him!

Ooh!

Well, it looks like I'm gonna have to call in a favor.

[Adam turns on his cell-phone, and makes a call to Blue Bay Harbor.]

Tori...it's Adam. Look, Alpha and I need some help calibrating a weapon...do you know someone that can help?

voice of TORI HANSON:
I do know someone...a friend...he can be at your dojo in the morning.

ADAM PARK:
Great...thanks!

voice of TORI HANSON:
Take it easy there, Adam...and good luck against them.

ADAM PARK:
Thanks, Tori...bye.

[Adam folds up the phone, and slips it into a front pocket in his pants. He then goes back to work on the vehicles.]

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[The next day, General Shindo and his subordinates arrive and introduce themselves.]

YOGO:
You must be Shindo...welcome to Mechanico Island.

SHINDO:
Thanks...this is Smogio and Toxix.

YOGO:
I have a plan to defeat the rangers and their VehAni partners.

SHINDO:
Thanks, but I already have a plan, and our king already approved them.

METALIA:
(slyly)
What do you have in mind?

SHINDO:
The seven of up will take on the seven rangers...

ARGO:
(interrupting)
I'm already liking it!

SHINDO:
(continuing)
...With ten resurrected Machine Beasts..

[The other four villains are in shock as they depart the main chamber.]

INT.-CITY-DOJO-DAY
[An Asian male wearing a green polo-like shirt, black denim jeans, and gold-rimmed eyeglasses enters the dojo, and asks for Adam.]

[Global's sensors pick up the seventeen machines in the city, and sounds the alarms. Everyone rushes to the viewscreen to see what is going on.]

CAM WATANABE:
Whoa! They look uglier than Lothor's forces!

ADAM PARK:
(into his communicator)
Ryder! Get the others and teleport to the base immediately! Cam! Let's try to get these done before they arrive!

[Soon, the six team members teleport in, and all seven are briefed by Zordon.]

CAM WATANABE:
Rangers! These are your new Aero Speeders. To operate them, you move forward to go forward, etcetera. Be careful, though...they can achieve speeds of four hundred miles an hour.

ADAM PARK:
Thanks for your help, Cam! But, we gotta go!

ALL:

[The Nitro Rangers deflect the blast of smoke. Soon, the rangers dismount from their vehicles, and start battling the ten resurrected monsters, and re-scrap them with some ease.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Your monsters are gone...now, it's your turn!

[Shindo is furious, so he makes his subordinates and himself grow.]

GOLD SKY RANGER:
(into his communicator)
Alpha! Send the zords!

[Within a few seconds, the nine zords arrive. The rangers board their zords and activate the cockpits by installing their morphers into the control panels.]

ALL RANGERS:
Zords...Combine!

[The rangers form the Nitro Megazord, Defender Megazord, and the Sky Megazord.]

SHINDO:

ADAM PARK:
Guys! I got an idea!

[The six zords re-combine...Gator, Falcon, and Tiger combine.]

Nitro Megazord...Ready To Rumble!

SKY RANGERS:
Hey, Smogio! Sky Target!

DEFENDER RANGERS:
Yo, Toxix! Defender Slam!

[The Sky Megazord's dual mode fires a blast from Canine's cannon, and slams it at Toxix with Orca's tail to defeat him, who then cackles in orange energy bolts, and collapses before exploding.]

It's your turn, Shindo!

ALL RANGERS:

Ultra Grand Prix!

RED NITRO RANGER:
Let's extinguish this freak!

[The nine zords send their energy to defeat Shindo, who then cackles in orange energy bolts, and collapses before exploding. The seven rangers and nine VehAni celebrate at sunset.]

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-NIGHT
[King Gasket is not pleased, and starts to take out his frustrations on his remaining generals.]

ARGO:
Hmm...I wonder when my subordinate will arrive.

[Yogo then leaves the palace dejectedly.]

METALIA:
Yogo! Where are you going!?

YOGO:
I need to go somewhere to think.

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-NIGHT
[The seven team members return to the base to thank Cam for his help.]

ADAM PARK:
Hey, Cam...how 'bout a drink at the juice bar? My treat!

CAM WATANABE:

[Everyone laughs with Cam.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Man! That bubble's hard to burst!

[The Red Ranger thinks for a bit.]

I got it! MOTO-Battlizer, Start Up!

[The Battlizer appears on his left wrist. The Red Ranger presses the button on the device, and pulls the lever to activate his armor, which forms over his in pieces.]

RED MOTOR RANGER:
Flight Of Power, Red Motor Ranger, Burning Up!

[The Red Ranger uses his gauntlet wings to burst the bubble with ease. The team re-unites.]

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
Ryder!

RED MOTOR RANGER:
Come on! G.T. needs us!

[The seven rangers join G.T.'s side and confront Spitzie.]

SPITZIE:
You bursted my bubble!

RED MOTOR RANGER:
Yeah, and now, we're gonna burst yours! Battlizer Triple Attack!

[The Red Ranger uses is three attack moves (MOTO-Flash, MOTO-Razor, and MOTO-Wing) in succession to defeat Spitzie, who then collapses. The Banki Energy then starts to course through his body during the Industrial Revolution to make him grow.]

SPITZIE:
I'm the biggest straw ever!

RED MOTOR RANGER:
(while speaking into his morpher)
We need the zords!

METALIA:
Not so fast, rangers! Gearoids!

[Several dozen Gearoids assemble themselves, and ready for battle.]

RED MOTOR RANGER:
Guys! You guys form the megazords...I'll handle these tin-heads with G.T.!

ALL RANGERS:
Right!

RED MOTOR RANGER:
Let's go, G.T.!

G.T.:
Let's dismantle them, Ryder!

[The Red Ranger and G.T. battle the Gearoids. Suddenly, nine giant vehicles arrive at the battle scene. The other six rangers leap into their zords, and install the morphers to activate the cockpits, which activate the seat belts, then put them into gear.]

RED MOTOR RANGER:
Nitrolizer! Baton Mode! Red Nitro Spin!

[The Red Ranger defeats over two dozen minions while G.T. takes out the rest.]

DEFENDER RANGERS:
Defenderzords...Combine!

SKY RANGERS:
Skyzords...Combine!

[The six zords join together to form two megazords.]

DEFENDER RANGERS:
Defender Megazord...Ready To Rumble!

SKY RANGERS:
Sky Megazord...Ready For Take-Off!

[The two megazords briefly stare-down Spitzie. Then the two megazords attack.]

DEFENDER RANGERS:
Defender...

SKY RANGERS:
Sky Impulse...

DEFENDER RANGERS AND SKY RANGERS:
...Grand Prix!

[Spitzie collapses with light-blue lightning bolts, as he is depleted of his powers. He then disperses into bubbles, which then burst.]

RED MOTOR RANGER:
Yup! We burst his bubble!

[The rangers and G.T. celebrate.]

INT.-DOJO-DAY
[Later that day, the team relaxes at the dojo. Ryder is still very un-eased at the thought that Princess Maki has basically put a target on his head.]

RYDER SWANSON:
(as he sub-consciously sips his smoothie through a straw)
I wonder where Maki is. I mean, G.T. came a few days ago, but we still have not seen her.

[Ryder finally notices the straw.]

Aw, man!

[The other team members laugh.]

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[The three villains are angry as usual...until Princess Maki arrives, and voices her disgust for all the rangers...expecially the Red Ranger.]

PRINCESS MAKI:
(in a arrogant, annoying mood)
Well, I am here! Now bow down before me, peasants...now!

[The three villains nervously bow to Maki's feet in haste.]

Those rangers will pay for their insolence!

[Maki laughs maniacally.]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEXT TIME ON POWER RANGERS: NITRO DEFENDERS...

"The Machine Princess Strikes Back"
Ryder is really in for a rough day as Princess Maki makes her presence known on Earth.

NOTE: I am going to hold off for a few days on Episode #40 (GP32) until I learn more about the storyline of GP32. I may post 40-42 all on October 17.

[NightRanger]

Dear Fans,
Well, there is yet, another computer problem on the home computer...the last two times, it was an OS problem with the tower...now, the monitor has "died." Thus, I am posting this a day early, and with the expected week off next week, there should be no problem (as we may be able to get a new monitor after the 10th), and the next episode post date will be the 17th. So, onward with this week's episode...

INT.-MOON-MACHINE SKYBASE-NIGHT
[Princess Maki is in her quarters trying to come up with a plan to defeat the rangers.]

PRINCESS MAKI:
Very soon, those rangers will pay dearly for what they did to my servants…especially the Red Ranger!

[Maki comes up with an idea…she has a sinister smirk on her face.]

Yes…very soon!

[Maki laughs maniacally.]

INT.-CITY-DOJO-DAY
[The next morning, Ryder enters the dojo a few minutes before his martial arts class starts, and goes to the juice bar counter to talk to the others.]

RYDER SWANSON:
Hi, guys!

JAKE GARABEDIAN:
Ryder!

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
So, are you okay?

RYDER SWANSON:
Yeah, why wouldn’t I be?

[Suddenly, the ground begins to shake, as something is attacking the city. The television near the counter shows a news special report…the city is being attacked…by Maki.]

EXT.-CITY-DOWNTOWN-DAY
[The seven team members arrive to see a human-looking woman in a white dress attacking buildings with her staff, and making innocent citizens flee.]

PRINCESS MAKI:
I love the smell of total chaos and destruction in the morning!

RYDER SWANSON:
(as he nervously steps forward)
Hello, your royal highness!

[The two trade stares.]

Guys…this is Maki…the daughter of Gasket and Archerina.

PRINCESS MAKI:
Pleased to finally meet my new slaves…now bow down before my feet.

ADAM PARK:
Never!

ALL:
(as they prepare their morphers)
Start Up!

[The suits “fully-form” over the seven.]

PRINCESS MAKI:
Neat trick…time for my morph!

[Maki transforms from her humanoid form to a monster form.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Nope…you still look ugly! Nitro Gear!

[The seven rangers press the “G” button on their belt buckles to make the weapons materialize. They use the weapons to battle Maki for a bit. Soon, the two Sky Rangers flank the other five.]

Let’s form the cannon!

NITRO RANGERS AND DEFENDER RANGERS:
Nitro Defender Cannon !

SKY RANGERS:
Sky Blasters!

RED NITRO RANGER:
Inserting Cell!

ALL RANGERS:
Fire!

[The rangers fire three blasts of energy at Maki, but it does not even faze her.

GOLD SKY RANGER:
Let’s try the cannon’s Booster Mode!

[The two Sky Rangers attach their Sky Daggers to the silver parts of the Orca Axe.]

ALL RANGERS:
Nitro Defender Cannon! Booster Mode!

RED NITRO RANGER:
Fire Two!

[The rangers fire a massive blast of energy from the cannon, but it just makes Maki’s monster form grow.]

GOLD SKY RANGER:
Oh, no!

RED NITRO RANGER:
(into his communicator)
Alpha, send the zords!

[Within seconds, all nine zords approach the battle area. The rangers board their zords, and form the three megazords.]

ALL RANGERS:
Let’s take her down.

[The three megazords gang-up on the giant monster, and she takes a pounding. Soon, the three megazords utilize their finishers.]

ALL RANGERS:
Trinity Attack!

NITRO RANGERS:
Grand Prix!

DEFENDER RANGERS:
Defender Grand Prix!

SKY RANGERS:
Sky Impulse! Grand Prix!

[Maki then turns into her Hydra Form, and attacks the three megazords, which go down in a hail of sparks and smoke.]

ALL RANGERS:
Whoa!

[The megazords struggle to recover, but do. G.T. then appears to help them.]

ALL RANGERS:
Nitro Defender Ultrazord!

[The three megazords combine to form the Ultrazord.]

Let’s Go!

[G.T. tries to attack Maki, but she is able to dodge the attacks.]

G.T.:
She’s impossible!

PRINCESS MAKI:
No, you’re just to easy to defeat!

[Maki then drains the megazord and G.T. of their power. The rangers “fall out” of the megazord as the zords revert to cast form, and G.T. reverts to his “mini-tire” form. When the rangers hit the ground, they are forced out of morph. Gasket , Archerina, Maki, and the three generals stalk the seven team members as they struggle to recover. The seven team members cautiously get up, and face the villains.

KING GASKET:
Well, well, well! Look what we have here…seven fallen rangers!

PRINCESS MAKI:
They all look delicious!

RYDER SWANSON:
We’ve heard enough!

[The seven team members “auto-morph” as the suits “flash-form” over them.]

ALL RANGERS:
(posing)
Power Rangers, Let's Go!

RED NITRO RANGER:
MOTO-Battlizer!

[The Battlizer morpher appears on the Red Ranger’s left wrist. The Red Ranger then presses a button, then pulls the lever to morph.]

Start Up!

[The Battlizer armor pieces form over the Red Ranger.]

RED MOTOR RANGER:
(posing)
Flight Of Power! Red Motor Ranger, Burning Up!

[The Red Ranger flies upward.]

Condor Blade! Nitrolizer…Baton Mode!

[The two sword-like weapons appear in the Red Rangers’ hands. The Red Ranger then uses all of huis abilities and both sword weapon s to battle Maki.]

PRINCESS MAKI:
Come here, Red Ranger! I’m hungry!

[Maki tries to snatch the Red Ranger with one of her heads, but she misses every time.]

GOLD SKY RANGER:
Come on guys!

[The rangers re-activate the Nitro Defender Ultrazord and G.T. with the Starter Cell. Meanwhile, the Red Ranger attacks with his abilities and weapons to severely weaken Maki.]

PRINCESS MAKI:
How dare you!

[As Maki struggles to recover, the Red Ranger enters Condor’s cockpit as he powers down the Battlizer, and prepares to help his comrades.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
(as he inserts his Battle Cell into the console)
Inserting Cell!

[G.T. reverts to Wheel Mode as the rangers send their zords’ energy to G.T. while he revs up.]

Batter up!

[The Ultrazord bats G.T. toward Maki so he can “run into” her. G.T. then reverts to Warrior Mode, and turns around to find that Maki is weakened, but still standing.]

G.T.:
(as he moves out of the way)
She just doesn’t know when to quit!

[Maki looks puzzled as to why G.T. just suddenly moved out of the way. She then realizes what is about to happen.]

ALL RANGERS:
Nitro Defender…Grand Prix!

[The remaining energy from the Ultrazord is sent to defeat Maki, who then cackles with multi-colored energy bolts as she reverts from hydra form to monster form, and finally back to human form. A lot of mechanical parts fall off of Maki before she implodes.]

KING GASKET:
You rangers destroyed our beloved daughter!

QUEEN ARCHERINA:
The day will come, rangers…when the Earth becomes ours!

YOGO:
Sire, I suggest a retreat…the rangers are just way to powerful.

KING GASKET:
I agree.

[The monarchy and generals teleport out as the rangers and G.T. celebrate.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[The team teleports in, still celebrating a bit. Suddenly, Global’s alarms ring out. The team is looks in shock (with a “not again” look) as they look at the viewscreen. They see three colored blips flashing near a cave area on Earth.]

KEIKO OGAWA:
When did they arrive?

ZORDON:
Those are not any ordinary VehAni…

ALPHA SIX:
They arrived sixty-five million years ago!

[The team looks at Alpha in shock and surprise.]

RYDER SWANSON:
Sixty-five million year-old VehAni!

WHALE:
They are the ancient VehAni of legend!

[The team still looks like they are in shock.]

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[The monarchy and villains reconvene in the palace’s throne room. Gasket and Archerina still look very angry over their daughter’s demise.]

ARGO:
Sire…our sensors have detected something Machian near the mountains!

KING GASKET:
Yes, the VehAni!

ARGO:
Not just any VehAni…these are the Ancient VehAni that fought the Exerthals! And, the Exerthals are buried near them!

KING GASKET:
Excellent work, Argo!

This is the last known location of three ancient machines.

[Andrew then sees a pictogram depicting the three ancient machines on the wall.]

And we found it!

MACK HARTFORD:
(seeing a small three-foot tall white obelisk nearby)
What's this?

[Mack further investigates the obelisk, and sees the Machine Empire symbol. Meanwhile, Andrew tries to call Adam's cell-phone (which is at the Power Center), but he cannot get through.]

Maybe I can use this?

[The megazord raises it's arm, and prepares the bow.]

NITRO RANGERS AND SKY RANGERS:

[Audioto collapses in white lightning bolts, and explodes. When back on the ground, the seven rangers celebrate. Suddenly, Adam's communicator beeps.]

GOLD SKY RANGER:
Go ahead, Alpha?

voice of ALPHA SIX:
Rangers...Andrew Hartford is in a nearby cave with his son, Mack...they just located the ancient VehAni energy signal that we were picking up. There's only one problem...Argo is also there with a Machine Knight and some Gearoids!

Hey! Leave that alone!

I am Mammoth...this is Tyranno and Tricera. Sixty-five million years ago, the Exerthal Tribe of evil mechanical beings came to Earth to inhabit the planet. They were the ones responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs. We chased them, and defeated them, then sealed them into a small obelisk, then sealed ourselves into the rock face to guard over them.

[The cell case finishes charging.]

Well...you are all welcome to stay as long as you want. In fact, we can use your help against the Machine Empire...another group of evil mechanical beings.

Condor's cast is damaged...he may not be able to enlarge the cast!

CONDOR:
You're right...my engine is damaged.

RYDER SWANSON:
(upset)
What!?

MAMMOTH:
Ryder...I do apologize. However, we RailMaxZords will offer to you our services.

RYDER SWANSON:
What do you think, Condor?

CONDOR:
I think that it'll be a good idea.

GOLD SKY RANGER:
Try to keep it together, guys!

[Spinadrill then kicks Lion and Bear onto their sides, and stomps on them.]

Whoa!

Let me drill you in on the situation!

[Spinadrill attacks the two megazords with his drill, they then go down in a hail of sparks.]

[Ryder hesitates a bit.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[The zords continue to struggle to recover as Spinadrill stalks them. He then kicks and stomps on the two megazords, making them spark even more.]

GOLD SKY RANGER:
Come on! We got to get up!

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
It's no use! Our power levels are very low!

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
(as he removes the starter cell from his belt pouch)
I got an idea!

[Spinadrill continues to stalk the zords. He then kicks and stomps on them again, making the zords spark even more...the rangers react.]

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[Yogo looks in on the battle...he is very pleased.]

YOGO:
It appears that the rangers are going down in defeat!

METALIA:
(smart-alecky)
Finally!

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[Alpha continues to keep tabs on the situation as Ryder continues to fix Condor with the Hartfords' help.]

ALPHA SIX:
Ryder...the others are in serious trouble. They need you, now.

[Ryder watches the battle on the viewscreen with some signs of anger in his face.]

RYDER SWANSON:
I'm coming guys...hang on.

CONDOR:
Ryder...take the RailMaxZords into battle.

RAILMAXZORDS:
Yes...we want to go with you!

RYDER SWANSON:
Okay...get ready.

[Ryder prepares his morpher.]

Start Up!

[The Red Ranger suit forms over Ryder's body. Before departing, he grabs the RailMax casts and cells.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Spinadrill is about to land the death-low to the megazords but is interrupted by a train's horn.]

SPINADRILL:
What!?

[The three giant RailMaxZords arrive at the battlefield in train mode. In the cockpit, we see the normal stick levers that are in the locomotive's cab. The engineer is revealed to be the Red Ranger.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Okay, guys...let's get him!

[The Red Ranger puts the train into gear to battle the giant Machine Knight.]

All aboard!

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
(as he inserts the Starter Cell into his console)
Come on guys! Let's get in on the action!

[The Starter Cell recharges the other nine zords almost instantly.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Hey, Brandon...can I use the Starter Cell to repair Condor?

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
I don't see why not! I'll send it back to the Power Center.

voice of ALPHA SIX:
Rangers...I have received the Starter Cell. Mack is inserting it into Condor's cast now.

RED NITRO RANGER:
Alright!

[The RailMax Train snakes around Spinadrill to attack.]

Mammoth Mist!

[Freezing mist is emitted through Mammoth's snout as the two fallen megazords recover.]

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
Ryder...we're coming to join you!

[The two megazords and two individual zords recover, and return to their feet and wheels to rev up.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[Alpha checks the diagnostics on Condor.]

ALPHA SIX:
Yippie! Condor is repaired!

ANDREW HARTFORD:
Good! Let's send him into battle!

[Mack places the cast onto a table-top teleporter. With a few buttons pushed, Condor is sent to the Red Ranger.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[The Red Ranger receives Condor's cast and cell.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
(as he inserts the Super Nitro Cell)
Nitro Condorzord...Go!

[Condor is released through a window on Mammoth, and grows. He then joins the other Nitro Rangers.]

CONDOR:
Brandon, Keiko...let's form the megazord.

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
Yeah!

[The Blue Ranger puts his zord into gear.]

Nitro Lionzord...go!

YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
Okay!

[The Blue Ranger puts his zord into gear.]

Nitro Bearzord...go!

[The Nitro Megazord is formed, and joins the other two megazords.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Mammoth...do you guys have a combined form?

MAMMOTH:
Yes we do...the RailMax Megazord.

RED NITRO RANGER:
RailMaxZords...Combine!

[The three RailMaxZords combine into a megazord. The new megazord stands ready as steam emits from Mammoth's snout. The other three megazords then join in formation.]

Let's take this new megazord for a spin!

BLUE NITRO RANGER AND YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
Nitro Megazord! Ready To Rumble!

DEFENDER RANGERS:
Defender Megazord! Ready To Rumble!

SKY RANGERS:
Sky Megazord! Ready For Take-Off!

RED NITRO RANGER:
RailMax Megazord...On Track!

ALL RANGERS:
(as the four megazords pose before explosions)
Power Rangers!

SPINADRILL:
No! It's not possible!

GOLD SKY RANGER:
Oh, it is possible, and you're going down!

[Spinadrill charges the four megazords, gauntlet style. The Nitro Megazord punches and kicks the Machine Knight, but gets past the first gestalt. Spinadrill then meets the Defender Megazord, with attacks with it's Canine and Orca arms...then the Machine Knight tussles with the Sky Megazord, which uses it's Falcon and Tiger arms. Then Spinadrill meets up with the new RailMax Megazord.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Hello! Rail Spiker! RailMax Blast!

[The RailMax Megazord uses two attack moves to weaken the Machine Knight, who begins to waiver, but holds his ground.]

Guys! Let's finish him off!

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
Nitro Sword!

SPINADRILL:
You don't like my spin on things!?

[The four megazords prepare to execute their finishers.]

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[The three generals are peeved at the four megazords, and notice that Spinadrill is about to lose.]

METALIA:
Those rangers have four megazords now!

YOGO:
I hope Argo has deciphered that obelisk!

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[The four megazords get in position.]

SPINADRILL:
You wouldn't!?

BLUE NITRO RANGER AND YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
You have bothered this city long enough...

DEFENDER RANGERS:
Get off our planet...

SKY RANGERS:
We are the Power Rangers...

RED NITRO RANGER:
And you just dug your own grave!

BLUE NITRO RANGER AND YELLOW NITRO RANGER:
Nitro...

DEFENDER RANGERS:
Defender...

SKY RANGERS:
Sky Impulse!

RED NITRO RANGER:
RailMax Express!

ALL RANGERS:
Grand Prix!

[The Nitro Megazord rushes and slices Spinadrill, then the Defender Megazord uses it's three-pronged attack, and the Sky Megazord uses it's Tiger Archer. Spinadrill then falls to it's hands and knees, but recovers and charges the RailMax Megazord, which then executes it's finisher, where the Mammoth mist is fired through a double-karate chop from Tyranno and Tricera.]

SPINADRILL:
Oh, I'm dizzy!

[Spinadrill then spins around while cackling in red lightning bolts. He comes to a stop, and collapses into a fireball. The rangers celebrate in the cockpits.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-NIGHT
[A little while later, Alpha is reading the power diagnostics from the battle as the team looks on.]

ALPHA SIX:
Ryder...Condor...I just went over the diagnostics. It appears that Condor is still not one hundred percent...but is operating at about ninety-five percent.

RYDER SWANSON:
Well, at least that is an improvement.

CONDOR:
I agree. But I'll be a hundred percent soon.

ADAM PARK:
Andrew...Mack...thanks for your help.

ANDREW HARTFORD:
You're welcome...but we should get back to San Angeles.

[The team bids good-bye wishes to their friends.]

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-NIGHT
[In Argo's laboratory, he pours a bunch of Banki Energy out of two vials to try to open the obelisk, which glows lime-green.]

ARGO:
Soon, the Exerthals will be released, and those puny rangers will tremble in fear!

[The obelisk continues to glow in a lime-green colored light.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Matt is near an auto repair business that is repairing his broken down car. He then hails a taxicab alongside a beautiful Asian woman. They agree to split the fare. The two start to talk as the cab gets on the road.]

MATT SANDOVAL:
(trying to talk to the woman)
Well, my name is Matt...what's yours?

WOMAN:
Let's just sit back and enjoy the ride. I am not interested in trying to get a date...okay!?

[The "chill factor" in the cab just went higher as the woman begins to ignore Matt. The cab continues down the road.]

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-ARGO'S LABORATORY-DAY
[Argo is working on a way to perfect the right amount of Banki Energy to awaken an Exerthal.]

ARGO:
Yes...I think two vials ought to do it.

[As Argo dumps two vials of the solution over the obelisk, Yogo storms in.]

Yogo!

YOGO:
Argo! Why is it taking so long to resurrect the Exerthal!?

ARGO:
You can't speed this up! It is a delicate process that will take twenty-four Earth hours to complete!

[As the obelisk glows lime-green as Yogo exits the lab in anger.]

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[Yogo enters the main chamber with Argo following.]

YOGO:
Twenty-four hours!?

ARGO:
If you want to control the Exerthal right, yes. But I do have a Machine Knight in the chamber now...he should be ready in a few minutes.

[Yogo sees the monster in the chamber, and is somewhat pleased.]

EXT.-CITY-DOJO-DAY
[The taxicab pulls up in front. The woman exits the vehicle and goes inside, leaving Matt to pay the full fare. Matt then goes inside as the cab departs.]

MATT SANDOVAL:
Hey! Wait a minute!

INT.-CITY-DOJO-DAY
[The infuriated Matt walks into the dojo and approaches the woman, who is near Keiko.]

Oh, hey Matt! I'd like to introduce to you Sakura Ogawa...my sister.

BURNIE:
Let's turn up the heat! Gearoids!

[A small army of Gearoid soldiers materialize from flying nuts and bolts. The seven rangers go to work in battling and defeating them. Burnie then uses heat-based attacks, which make the rangers retreat.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
This guy's on fire!

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
We can't defeat him!

GOLD SKY RANGER:
We need to retreat...for now.

[The seven rangers teleport out.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[The team teleports in, and walk over to a large conference table to sit down. After sitting down, they remove their helmets.]

ADAM PARK:
That guy is tough...we got to work on a way to ice him. Suggestions?

KEIKO OGAWA:
Well, this isn't related, but...Matt...I'm sorry for the way my sister treated you. She used to torment me a lot as a kid...sibling rivalry.

MATT SANDOVAL:
Keiko, you have nothing to apologize for...but it's okay.

KEIKO OGAWA:
Okay...let's get back to work.

[The team tries to come up with a plan.]

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[Yogo tries to apologize to Argo (as he has a plan of his own). Argo want to go out on the next outing with Burnie.]

YOGO:
Argo, my friend...I apologize for the way I yelled at you...you see, those rangers just keep getting on my nerves.

ARGO:
Accepted...but...I want to go with Burnie when he goes back to the city.

YOGO:
Deal.

[Metalia looks on...she is suspicious of her comrades. As Argo and Burnie depart for the city, Yogo tells her of his plan.]

METALIA:
You have something planned, Don't you!?

YOGO:
Since Argo is gone, I think I will help the Exerthal resurrection process along.

[Yogo departs for Argo's laboratory.]

EXT.-CITY-POWER PLANT-DAY
[Argo and Burnie arrive, and start setting fires. The seven rangers arrive and confront the duo.]

ARGO:
You!

RED NITRO RANGER:
Yeah, we're back!

[The rangers battle Burnie and Argo...with Burnie heating up the plant's reactor at one point.]

SKY RANGERS:
Sky Daggers...Freezing Dagger!

[The maneuver cools of the reactor, with a huge sigh of relief from the plant's workers.]

ALL RANGERS:
Nitro Defender Cannon! Booster Mode!

[The Silver Ranger inserts her Super Nitro Cell, and fires the weapon to freeze the Machine Knight, who then activates his Industrial Revolution to grow.]

BURNIE:
(while looking down onto the rangers)
The heat is on, rangers!

RED NITRO RANGER:
Alpha...we need the zords!

voice of ALPHA SIX:
They're coming, Ryder!

[Soon, the twelve zords approach the battlefield. The rangers leap up to the zords, and enter their cockpits.]

ALL RANGERS (except Red):
Zords...combine!

[The first nine zords join together to form the Nitro Defender Ultrazord.]

Nitro Defender Ultrazord...Let's Go!

[The Ultrazord tries to keep Burnie from re-igniting the plant's reactor.]

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-ARGO'S LABORATORY-DAY
[Yogo enters the lab. He sees that Argo only uses two vials of Banki Energy. Enraged, he pours four more vials over the obelisk. The glowing object explodes, knocking Yogo onto his rear. Before him is a black, hulking behemoth of an Exerthal Tribesman.]

POSEIDON:
(growling)
I am Poseidon...master warrior of the Exerthals!

[Yogo looks pleased.]

YOGO:
You'll do fine!

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[The Ultrazord continues to battle Burnie, as the Red Ranger looks on.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Okay...RailMax Mammothzord...Tyrannozord...Tricerazord...Go, Go, Go!"

[The Red Ranger casts off the three ancient VehAni, who then grow big. The Red Ranger then leaps into Mammoth's cockpit, and activates it.

RailMaxZords...Combine...Train Mode!

[The three zords all hitch onto each other to form the train, which then attacks Burnie.]

RailMaxZords...Combine...Warrior Mode!

[The three zords detach and form the warrior mode of the combination.]

RailMax Megazord...On Track!

[The megazord stands ready against the Machine Knight.

Okay...let's put him on ice! RailMax Express! Grand Prix!

[The megazord uses it's finisher to make the Machine Knight cackle in yellow lighting bolts, and collapses before exploding in ice flurries. The rangers celebrate on the ground. Suddenly, Yogo and the resurrected Exerthal arrive.]

Yogo!

YOGO:
Hello, rangers!

GOLD SKY RANGER:
Who's your friend!?

YOGO:
Rangers...this is a Exerthal warrior, Poseidon...the destructor of your precious planet!

[Poseidon pounds his fists together and roars as Yogo laughs maniacally.]

RED NITRO RANGERS:
We'll see about that!

[The seven rangers charge in to battle the hulking Exerthal with disastrous results.]

POSEIDON:
(growling)
Poseidon Wave!

[A massive energy wave blasts the rangers, who all lay on the ground, beaten senseless, and weakened. Soon, their suits vanish forcefully.]

RYDER SWANSON:
(in extreme pain)
Did anyone get the number of that truck that hit us!?

YOGO:
(as the fallen rangers groan in extreme pain)
Rangers! Here is an ultimatum...surrender yourselves...or the planet. You have twenty-four hours to contemplate your fate!

[The two villains vanish as the wounded rangers struggle to recover and catch their breaths. TO BE CONTINUED...]

RYDER SWANSON:
Great!

[Ryder, Keiko, Jake, Matt, and Chloe teleport out as Adam helps Brandon at the computer.]

INT.-CITY-DOJO-NIGHT
[A few minutes later, the five remaining team members are sitting at a round table, contemplating their fate...and the fate of the planet. Soon, Sakura walks in, and begins to taunt the five.]

SAKURA OGAWA:
Look at you five...what are you some...low-life bums!?

KEIKO OGAWA:
Not now, Sakura!

SAKURA OGAWA:
You don't tell me what to do!

MATT SANDOVAL:

INT.-MOUNTAIN-POWER CENTER-DAY
[At dawn, Brandon is still at the computer. The plan is ready to put into action. Brandon has the main computer program the twelve zords. Suddenly, Global's alarms ring out...Poseidon is in the city and already giant...going on a rampage, and causing traffic disasters during the morning rush hour.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[The Red Ranger is already on the scene in the RailMax Megazord's Train Mode. The two sides battle briefly until Yogo arrives.]

YOGO:
(while throwing his spear at Poseidon)
Poseidon...time for a modern upgrade!

[Poseidon transforms from a roundish being to a more dragon-like being.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Even with the upgrade, he's still ugly! Let's change formations...Warrior Mode!

[The RailMax transforms into it's warrior mode to battle the beast. A few minutes later, Poseidon possesses the megazord.]

What!? Oh, no!

[The Red Ranger is "kicked-out" of the cockpit. As he quickly recovers on the ground, the other rangers arrive, and survey the situation.]

DEFENDER RANGERS:
Defenderzords!

SKY RANGERS:
Skyrangers!

[The six casts appear, and the four rangers insert their Super Nitro Cells to make the vehicles grow. The four rangers leap up to board their zords, and activate the cockpits. The six zords combine to form the Defender and Sky Megazords.]

YOGO:
You!

RED NITRO RANGER:
I'll be right back...and I promise to defeat you then!

[The Red Ranger then leaps into Mammoth's cockpit.]

Okay, Brandon...the RailMax is ready!

[With all twelve zords ready to battle, the Blue Ranger suggests to combine all the zords.]

BLUE NITRO RANGER:

voice of ZORDON:
Everything is ready, Brandon.

BLUE NITRO RANGER:
Okay, everyone!

ALL RANGERS:
Zords...Combine!

[Soon, the four megazords break their respective formations, and travel in a single pack. Soon, the twelve individual zords start to form the new formation...a massive megazord. The seven rangers all unite in a single cockpit...the Nitro Rangers are in front with the Red Ranger in center and the Blue and Yellow Rangers flanking him on either side. Behind them are the Green and Black Rangers flanked on either side by the Silver and Gold Rangers.]

Poseidon then cackles with black and purple lightning bolts, and collapses into a massive fireball With Poseidon defeated, the Red Ranger leaps down to resume his battle with Yogo, who is being showered with energy from Poseidon.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Okay, Yogo...you're mine.

YOGO:
(with a different voice)
Hello, Red Ranger!

[Yogo uses his spear, and strikes the Red Ranger with the energized end of it. The Red Ranger reacts to the pain, then cackles in red lightning bolts, and collapses. The Red Ranger then de-morphs forcefully, and lays on his back. Yogo then looms over his unconscious body.]

One ranger down...six to go!
