Power Rangers Accele-lightning (A Go-onger Adaptation)

[Shogun_Master]

This is the first series I ever started & the reason I began doing PR fanfics- after Operation Overdrive & Jungle Fury, I thought Go-onger's adaptation was going to suck (which it didn't, really) & decided to write my own story.

I have four episodes so far & may write more, but I'm not sure. Also, this series was planned to be more serialized than others as the second act of the season involving my version of the Wings is practically all one long story. The name is really dumb, but it was my first one, my first real attempt at actually writing a serialized story & there may be things that are good or bad, but just enjoy it.

Power Rangers Accele-lightning
In an alternate dimension, a military project has gone horribly wrong, creating an army of evil bio-robotic warriors bent on destruction. One hundred years later, a small group of human resistance fighters- the last of humanity- bravely combat their Gaiarc oppressors, but their only real hope lies in the fabled Androfauna- bio-robotic attack vehicles that have a chance of defeating this evil. The stakes are raised, however, when the leader of the Gaiarc, an android queen named Sapis, discovers a way to travel to their sister dimension- Earth- & reap it's resources for her own diabolical ends. Two resistance fighters & three teens from Earth must now band together to stop this threat before Hawk Valley, Earth & humanity are all destroyed for good.

It will be a few minutes, but I'll get all four episodes up shortly.

EPISODE 1
>>>TWO WORLDS, ONE STORY<<<

Blank screen.

NARRATOR 1: Long ago we ruled this world. Now, the darkness has arrived. We no longer rule. Now... we must fight for our lives. What we didn't realize, however, was that it wasn't just our world in danger. Yours is too-

EXT- GAIA, FIELD OF BATTLE- NIGHT

Humans are fighting robots and there are even gigantic vehicles fighting each other as well. Two Rangers enter the fray, one green and the other black, & corner two unique robots. The Rangers are seen indirectly.

BLACK: Where do you guys think you're going?
GREEN: Yeah, we're sending you to the junkyard!
TRONYX: Ah! One of the Resistance Leaders I presume? The suit fits you well!

Tronyx pulls out a sword.

TRONYX: I'll enjoy this!
BLACK: I'll enjoy it more! Velocity Cutter!

Black pulls out a strange laser gun and transforms it into a rod form. Tronyx and Black Ranger engage each other while Green Ranger continues to fight the second robot, who seems to be trying to protect an odd device. Eventually, the Green Ranger is beaten back.

GREEN: No!
BLACK: Don't let him turn it on!

The second robot laughs and activates the device. Weird shockwaves fly across the screen and we go to black again.

EXT.- HAWK VALLEY, CA- DAY

Images of a city in a mountainous valley. A different person narrates now.

NARRATOR 2: Beautiful. Isn't it? This is Hawk Valley, California. My home. Unfortunately, it's also the home of dark secrets. Things that you'd never imagine could be possible. Though, this isn't just my story it belongs to others as well. Why don't I just start at the beginning?

The images stop at a dingy looking flat with an open garage door. A sign above the garage door reads Coop's Custom Trax.

INT.- COOP'S CUSTOM TRAX- DAY

Inside, the underground mechanic's garage, there is one worker. He seems to be fixing a motorcycle. Through a window, there is a second room- more of a waiting room. Aside from the chairs, plasma TV & table, it also contains a designing computer and a stairway going up into the house above. Four people, three guys and one girl, are sitting there. The girl is reading a book in an armchair while one of the guys is staring at her. The other two guys are talking.

ARON: Hey, Chase?

The guy in the middle answers.

CHASE: Yeah, Aron?
ARON: Do we always have to hang around down here? Its... kind of a buzz-kill.
CHASE: Why? I like it down here. So does Josh and... well I don't think Dawn ever realizes if she's anywhere at all.

Dawn speaks up without lifting her eyes from the book.

DAWN: I heard that!
CHASE: Yeah, well, besides, it's not our fault that you're not mechanically inclined.
ARON: Not mechanically inclined?

Aron gets up in Chase's face.

ARON (cont.): If I stay within sight of your computer a moment longer, it's liabel to explode! Don't you think you have better chances of survival in, I don't know, a park or something?
CHASE: Funny, Aron. My dad needs me around anyway. He barely makes ends meet with the small amount of customers we get out here.
JOSH: Well, uh, whatcha reading, Dawn?
DAWN: If you must know, Josh, I'm reading an autobiography from-

The motorcycle worker enters and yells at Josh.

COOPER: Josh? What happened to that last shipment of mufflers I ordered? You did have it sent here, didn't you?

Josh inhales sharply.

JOSH: Oh, that's... what you wanted. Um, on the brighter side, Carlton called and said that your order came in?

Cooper chakes his head in disbelief.

COOPER: Josh Levine... why? Just why?

Chase puts down a magazine, standing quickly.

CHASE: Hey, Dad, if you're busy I'll go down there for you.
COOPER: Thanks, Chase. I've got too many orders to finish up today to be worrying about missing shipments.

Aron quickly jumps to his feet, catching Chase up on his way to the stairs.

ARON: Oh, hey, I'm going too!
CHASE: Um, are you sure about that-
ARON: Are you kidding? We're actually leaving your garage for once!
DAWN: I'll come too. I could use a walk.

Dawn gets up & follows at her leisure.

JOSH: Don't forget about me!
COOPER: Um, Josh, I actually need your help here for a while. I mean, that is why I employed you in the first place.
JOSH: Right... paycheck... fine.

Josh turns back to the others.

JOSH: I'll try to catch up with you guys after my shift ends, alright?
CHASE: Yeah, sure thing, Josh!
ARON: See you later my main man! Besides, you like it down here, right?

Chase and Aron run upstairs.

DAWN: Bye.

Dawn quietly follows, still reading her book. Josh watches her leave, then reluctantly turns back to Chase's dad.

JOSH: Alright, Coop, what do we got?

EXT.- HAWK VALLY, STREETS- DAY

Chase and the two others are now walking out on the street. Aron is harassing Chase about their current activities.

NARRATOR 2: I guess that's how any adventure begins. Innocent enough... but in a heartbeat you're racing, not just for your life, but for the lives of everyone you care about. Even though they don't know the danger they're in- you do. That's what it was like. And this is how it started. This is the day we became more than just a hand-full of misfit kids who just hang out in a mechanic's garage. This was the day we began our journey to save two worlds... and every soul in them. This is our story.
ARON: I don't know, let's go play some basketball, let's see a movie! Something, anything that doesn't involve piles of saudered metal and circuitry!
CHASE: Sorry, Aron, but my dad needs my help. And, as I've been saying all day, I can't just bail on him like that for no good reason. Besides, Carlton's cool with the family. Even if the guy lives in the Thunder Zone, he can still get anything we need cheaper than anyone else.
DAWN: I'm sorry, but did you just say that we're going to the Thunder Zone?
CHASE: I did indeed, yes.
DAWN: Great. I'm going to have to save you guys from getting mugged again.
ARON: I told you, I had that situation under control, Dawn.
DAWN: Of course you did, because I always associate lying on the ground surrounded by a gang of guys with lead pipes begging for them not to hurt you as having the situation under control.

Aron stops in his tracks, staring at Dawn in disbeilef as she passes.

ARON: That was uncalled for!
CHASE: Aron, you're always uncalled for. Besides, Dawn took those karate classes when she was a kid, remember?
DAWN: Always comes in handy in a jiffy.

Aron is a little confused.

ARON: Um... who talks like that?

Dawn gives him a mean look and keeps going. Aron finally snaps out of it & catches up to the others.

ARON: Right... well, Thunder Zone! Most dangerous five blocks in California, bring it on!
CHASE: You'd seriously rather risk getting mugged over staying in the nice safe garage.
ARON: It's really boring. Utterly... completely... boring. Besides, there's strength in numbers.

Chase gives a sarcastic laugh.

CHASE: What numbers? Most gangs are slightly bigger than three people.

Aron thinks about it and decides to change the subject.

ARON: So... who is Carlton anyway?
CHASE: He's an old friend of dad's. Taught him how to make a proper living when dad was living off the streets as a kid.

Aron starts thinking about this deeply.

ARON: Uh-huh... and how old is Carlton now?
CHASE: I don't know... could be in his sixties or early seventies.
ARON: And how does a sixty or seventy year old man survive in the Thunder Zone?

Chase is about to answer, but stops, unable to produce an answer.

CHASE: Good... good question. Seriously, it doesn't really matter. Come on, guys. We have, like, four more blocks.
ARON: And pray to god that we survive four more blocks.

Dawn shakes her head in disgust.

DAWN: Oh, you guys. You poor, poor guys.

They continue, but in the background behind them, a strange wave streaks across the sky followed by a thunder-like sound. On the ground, we see humanoid shadows racing in between alleys.

EXT.- HAWK VALLEY, THUNDER ZONE, CARLTON'S STAND- DAY

Just outside an old run-down building, the old man is working behind his stand. He looks up from his table as they approach.

CARLTON: Hey! What did I tell you kids last time? Get away from here- before I call the cops again!
ARON: Wow, isn't he nice!
CHASE: Aron, just shut up and let me do the talking, ok? ok. Carlton! It's me, Chase! Coop's son.

Carlton seems a little relieved, but acts as if he's trying to hide it. Chase approaches the counter.

CARLTON: Oh, well I knew that! But you shouldn't be around here. It's dangerous! And I'm assuming that those two behind you are your friends, or do I need to call the police?
CHASE: Oh! It's ok, Carlton, they're with me. This is Aron and Dawn.
CARLTON: Huh?

Chase speaks a little louder and clearer.

CHASE: Aron and Dawn!
CARLTON: I heard you the first time, Chase! Aron and Dawn, of course it's Aron and Dawn. Why wouldn't it be Aron and Dawn?
ARON: Um... but you don't know us.

Carlton quickly grabs & shakes Aron's hand. Aron is completely frightened by the odd old man.

CARLTON: Right! Right, Hi, I'm, Carlton, you're Aron, now we know each other. All right, Chase, why are you and you're friends here?
CHASE: We need to pick up a shipment for my dad.
CARLTON: Right! Well, I have lots of shipments, right here behind me, so-

Carlton walks around his table and whispers in Chase's ear.

CARLTON: Which one do you think it is, my boy?

The situation finally dawns on Aron.

ARON: Oh my god, this guy is completely blind, isn't he?

Dawn leans in and whispers to him.

DAWN: And deaf. I've been here before. This guy's just a little... eccentric.
ARON: A little eck- A little clinically insane if ask me!
DAWN: Oh, be nice! The guy's lived in the Thunder Zone most of his life for crying out loud! You'd be a little messed up too!

Chase finally sees the package marked with his dad's name.

CHASE: It's that one, isn't it?
CARLTON: Very good, you're right, my boy! That's your package! Now, let me get it for you here!

Carlton walks back around the table and, with a little difficulty, identifies the package Chase indicated and hauls it up onto the table.

CARLTON: All-righty then, that'll be fifty thirty-five.
CHASE: Ok then.

Chase begins searching his pockets, but realizes that he doesn't have any money on him. He looks to his friends.

CHASE: Hey, you guys don't happen to have any money... what-so-ever, do you?
DAWN: I never carry money unless I figure that I'm actually going to use it.
ARON: Dude, if you're saying that we have to go all the way back to the garage and back here and there again-
CHASE: Um... sorry?
CARLTON: Well, cough it up! Where's the money?
CHASE: We're so sorry, Carlton, can you hold that package until we get back here? Thanks!

They turn to leave, but there are suddenly humanoid, robotic creatures all over the street. The robots notice & begin forming up in ranks before them.

CHASE: What the-
ARON: Dude, I've had this dream before! I didn't like it then and I don't like it now!

Dawn's book falls from her hands. Her mouth is wide open in interest.

DAWN: Well, this is definitely more interesting than any book.
CARLTON: Huh? What's going on? What's that weird whirring noise?

Carlton runs over to them and sees, dimly, the robots. He mistakes them for people.

CARLTON: Well these gangs just keep getting bigger and bigger! You kids come inside! I'll call the cops!
ARON: Yeah! A giant gang... that's exactly what they are.
CHASE: Yeah, uh, Carlton, you- you go do that. We'll be right behind you!
CARLTON: Ok!

Carlton runs for the table and jumbles around his inventory for a cell phone. He dials a number as he runs into an alley nearby.

ARON: The cops? He's a lot of help!
CHASE: Never mind that right now, we've got about a couple hundred other problems in front of us that are a lot worse!

Dawn had been inching forward the whole time.

CHASE: Dawn? What are you doing? Get back here!
ARON: Yeah, I don't think that's a good idea!
DAWN: Hold on!

She approaches one robot and begins talking slowly and clearly.

DAWN: Hello! We are people! See? Where are you from?

The robot makes a noise, some sort of rapid staticy beeping and buzzing that seemed to be some sort of communication, then holds up a weapon resembling a large screwdriver and tries to attack her with it as if it was a sword. She gives a shriek of shock as she narrowly avoids it by diving. The others run in to save her.

CHASE: Dawn! Hold on, we're coming!

The three start fighting the robotic beings, who are obviously skilled in fighting as well. Aron gets up close by Dawn.

ARON: This is the stupidest thing I've ever done for you!
DAWN: This is the only thing you've ever done for me! Oh, and we're even for me saving your butt!
ARON: You didn't save me, I told you I had it under control!
DAWN: Oy! Just drop it, please!

Chase tries to fight his way toward them, but the robots are relentless and overwhelming. Suddenly, another robot, different from the others, walks in. He brandishes a sword and urges them on.

TRONYX: Come on, Electrones! Destroy them! We can't leave any loose ends to warn the others in this world of our arrival!

Chase is thrown at Aron and Dawn. The three regroup and begin fighting in a ring. Chase notices the other robot and a second unique robot, obviously fashioned after a shovel, nearby.

CHASE: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Who or... what are they? Those!
ARON: You're asking me?
DAWN: This is amazing! They're some sort of animatronic soldiers! I've never seen anything like it!
CHASE: Yeah, well getting killed by battalion of robots wasn't exactly at the top of my to-do list today!
ARON: Hey, I told you this part of town was dangerous, didn’t I? Why couldn't we have just gone to the park like I told you to in the first place?
CHASE: Less talking! More fighting!

They fight on, but more and more of the "Electrones" keep coming until the three are overwhelmed. Slowly, they fall, one by one, until they're at the mercy of the robots. Tronyx shouts encouragement in between maniacal laughs.

TRONYX: Yes! Yes! Destroy them! Destroy all the filthy humans!

He finishes with yet another laugh. Chase and the others have finally gives up. They look up at the robots, waiting for the final blow to come, but suddenly, the robots are hit with blasts from behind. The ones closest to the three fall to the ground, destroyed, as they look on in bewilderment.

TYL: Get away from them!

Suddenly, two others rush in. They are wearing dark clothes and a trench coat each, one green camo and the other black leather. They beat off the robots with martial arts and a laser blaster each and save the three, helping them up and rushing them to safety. Chase notices that they both wear odd golden devices on their right wrists.

TRONYX: Noooo! Get them! Find them! No one can know of our arrival! No one!

EXT- HAWK VALLEY, ALLEY- DAY

The two strangers are still running with Chase, Aron & Dawn. Chase eventually brings them to a halt.

CHASE: Hey? Hey!
MAKOROS: What?
CHASE: Our other friend was back there! We have to go back for him!
TYL: It's ok, we got him before you. He's perfectly safe.
ARON: Well... thanks for that! Meanwhile, we were seriously getting our butts kicked, and you just stand by and-
DAWN: Oh, will you shut up, Aron? We;re all ok, aren't we?

Dawn turns to the two new arrivals.

DAWN (cont.): On the other hand... who are you guys? And what are you doing here?
ARON: To be honest, I don't even care if you tell me who you are or not, I just want to know where those robots came from and whether or not I can go home! Ok?

The two look around nervously before turning back to them.

TYL: I don't feel comfortable talking here.
MAKOROS: First rule of war.
CHASE: What? Did you just say war?
ARON: I think he did!
TYL: Look, we don't have time for this. Is there anywhere we can talk that's safe?
DAWN: My parents are on vacation in Mexico. We can talk at my place.
ARON: Do you really think that's a good idea?
MAKOROS: I don't care if you trust us or not, but trust me when I say you three are definitely in danger, now. And we're the only ones who can help you, so please. Take us somewhere safe and we'll tell you everything you need to know.
CHASE: Hold on.

Chase drags Aron and Dawn away from Tyl and Makoros.

CHASE: So?
DAWN: After all that robot stuff, I'm definitely ready to go on a little faith here!
ARON: Are you guys crazy? What if they're government agents or something? I mean, we might have gotten in the middle of one of their experiments and they're going to kill us!
CHASE: Dude? Seriously?
DAWN: Yeah? What kind of agent is going to perform government experiments in the middle of a city?
ARON: But-
CHASE: Aron, you don't make any sense; you're overruled. I'm with Dawn on this one.
DAWN: Thank you.

They walk back to the strangers leaving Aron behind, still protesting.

ARON: But- but, guys!
CHASE: Ok, we believe you.
TYL: Um... thanks.
DAWN: Come on, follow me.
MAKOROS: Right.
ARON: Guys? Guys! Seriously! This is a bad idea!

Aron looks up & down the alley quickly, then follows them with a pained look on his face.

INT.- DAWN'S APARTMENT, LIVING ROOM- DAY

Chase and his friends sit on the couch while the strangers close the blinds and check the room for security breaches. They stare at them in confusion for a while until the paranoia of the situation gets to them. They all speak out as one.

ARON: Are you going to say something?
DAWN: Is it secure enough for you?
CHASE: I thought you were going to tell us why those things are here!
ARON: Yeah... what he said.

The strangers stop and slowly turn to them. They give each other a look and decide to proceed.

TYL: We're sorry about all of this. I guess our training got the best of us for a moment.
MAKOROS: You see, we live in a very dangerous place.
ARON: Which would be... what, Malibu?

Chase and Dawn are drawn in and ready to listen to the strangers. They shush Aron together before turning back to them. The two strangers stare at them dumbly. Chase finally breaks the silence.

CHASE: Well, you can start any time you want.
TYL: I-
MAKOROS: We.
TYL: We... don't really know where to begin. We've never actually had to explain this to any one before.
DAWN: Why don't we... start with names?
MAKOROS: Fair enough. I'm Makoros. This is my brother and best friend, Tyl.
ARON: You've got to be kidding me! What kind of names are those?

Tyl has had enough of Aron and speaks out angrily.

TYL: The ones our parents gave us. Do you have a problem with them?

Aron jumps up & gets in their faces.

ARON: Yeah! In fact, I have a problem with this whole thing, I mean, who are you guys? Where'd you come from, what's with the robots and why are we hiding in Dawn's apartment in broad daylight?
DAWN: Aron! Sit down and maybe they'll tell you.

Aron turns back to his friends.

ARON: I still don't believe you and Chase actually believe these guys! Dawn, what makes two shifty looking hobos like them who show up in a real-life robot battle believable?
CHASE: Maybe the part about the "real-life robot battle."

Tyl and Makoros give each other another look and Tyl seems to ease off.

TYL: We're sorry, Aron. We're not exactly used to this world and the way it works. Where we're from it's just constant fighting.
ARON: Whoa, whoa, whoa, now you're aliens?
CHASE: Well, it would make sense with the robots and all. Haven't you guys ever heard of those Power... Power... oh, what was it?
DAWN: Rangers. Power Rangers?
ARON: You mean a bunch of rainbow colored guys in spandex that drive giant robots and fight aliens is behind this?
CHASE: They're real!
DAWN: Yeah, my cousin Jimmy from Ocean Bluff saw a bunch of them in the woods.

Aron gives them a look of pity.

ARON: You guys will believe anything, won't you?

Suddenly, Makoros interrupts.

MAKOROS: I don't know what these Power Ranger things are, but trust me, that's not it! You, and everything else alive on Earth, are facing extinction! Just sit down and listen to us. Now... before it's too late.

His face had a look that scared even Aron into silence. He steps back and drops into the couch between Chase and Dawn.

ARON: Ok, then... where are you from.
TYL: We're from Gaia.
CHASE: Is that in Oregon?
TYL: No.
ARON: Isn't it by-
MAKOROS: No, it's not on Earth! It's a parallel dimension.

Dawn looks like Christmas has come early.

DAWN: A parallel dimension! What kind?
TYL: One that branched from Earth sometime around the dawn of man. But our timeline went differently than yours. Our technology developed faster and our ancestors knew that a Utopian society was the only way for humanity to flourish.
DAWN: This is starting to sound a lot like Atlantis.
MAKOROS: Close. You see, portals between Gaia and Earth have opened before. I believe its responsible for your Atlantis legend, as well as others like Valhalla, Lemuria and the Garden of Eden.

Dawn mouths the word "amazing" as Aron rolls his eyes at her. Chase is also amazed.

CHASE: Well, what happened?
TYL: There were many who didn't like the idea. They formed another civilization. The Freyans. And then they, eventually, started a war with the peaceful Gaians.
MAKOROS: Yeah. They had no way to defend themselves properly... but they did have one thing on their side. They were really smart- & really advanced. They decided to create a DNA based defense system to keep themselves safe. They called it Project Jinni.
ARON: And they made these robots?
TYL: No. No, they decided to use animal DNA. It was easier to control and master what they created: the Androfauna.
DAWN: Androfauna?

Makoros appears to be getting tired of explaining things, but answers her anyway.

MAKOROS: An Androfauna is a large vehicle designed to look like, and programmed to mimic the mannerisms of, a certain animal. Originally, there were five.
CHASE: And what happened to them?
TYL: They won.
ARON: Right, that definitely explains why we should fear for our lives-
TYL: You should pay attention! I didn't say I was done yet!
ARON: Right. Whatever, be my guest.
MAKOROS: Thank you. Well, the Gaians were afraid after that. Afraid that another war would come and they couldn't risk loosing any more lives in battle- that's when they decided to expand their research. Project Jinni was scrapped and replaced with a new one. Project Gaiarc.
TYL: The basis for this one was to create an army of robots. Ones with no emotion or life, yet could reason and think for themselves. That's when they made the mistake of deciding to create a robotic soldier prototype... based on human DNA.
MAKOROS: Their first was Gaia 1. But he was too smart, too fast and too powerful to control. Unmasterable. He knew his purpose and was angry about it. He took over the labs and created his own army. Behold the Gaiarc. They destroyed all civilization and life in Gaia. All humans were destroyed- except a few. The Human Resistance. We're a part of that, and we will help you in any way we can.
DAWN: If they're so advanced, how are you fighting them?
TYL: Until recently, we were only retaliating- but now we have a secret weapon- the Androfauna.
CHASE: The Gaiarc things didn't take them over?
TYL: No. They were hidden. Sent into hibernation and scattered to remote locations across Gaia so the Gaiarc wouldn't sense them. We found the original five and got two... but the Gaiarc and their general, Tronyx, found the other three before we could. They're using them against us now.
MAKOROS: We think it's only a matter of time before they activate them and unleash them on your world. If anything, we just hope to draw them away from Earth. Back to Gaia where we'll have them.
CHASE: How'd they get here in the first place anyway?
TYL: They had... some sort of device-
DAWN: Of course! A device that can fire a pulse of energy into another dimension and create a static connection. A tunnel, a door, to another world!

Aron is bored.

ARON: How very un-interesting.
CHASE: If that's right then... if and when they finally do beat you there, they'll just come back here anyway. That's a big risk to take that won't be much help in the future.
DAWN: He's right. This is our world and we're probably the only ones who know right now who would actually do something... we have to do something! Every world in existence is in danger right now! We can't just sit back and let a couple hunks of metal take control of the universe!
ARON: If it's real... then I even agree with that.
TYL: Look, you guys don't need to get involved.
MAKOROS: Yeah. My bro and I've got it under control. We'll take care of the Electrones. Along with Tronyx and Spadron.
DAWN: Electrones?
TYL: The robots that attacked you. They're just basic Gaiarc foot soldiers. The ones commanding them were General Tronyx and General Spadron.
CHASE: You're not doing this alone. We're going to help.
MAKOROS: We can't let you.
ARON: Why? We can fight.
TYL: Yeah. We definitely saw the evidence of that when they fought you before. Did I mention we were saving them from you?
MAKOROS: Right, and they're the weakest of the Gaiarc! Just stay where it's safe. We can't risk any more lives. Too many people have died being as brave as you are and it's just being foolish.

Chase, Aron & Dawn look crestfallen. Tyl tries to brighten the situation up.

TYL: Look, we'll come and find you when it's done.
MAKOROS: In the meantime, just stay here! Please!

The two leave, but forget to shut the door. The other share indignant looks.

CHASE: Can you believe those two?
DAWN: Do they really expect us to do nothing at all?

Aron hears talking outside the door and shushes them. He sneaks over and stands by the door, listening.

INT.- HALL OUTSIDE DAWN'S APARTMENT- DAY

TYL: ...But what about the three Androfauna they have?
MAKOROS: I don't know. Did they come through?
TYL: I'm pretty sure they did.
MAKOROS: This is really bad! Ours are still on the other side!
TYL: It's ok, Makoros! Just calm down, we'll think of it when we get there.

Makoros is a little stressed, but finally agrees with his brother.

TYL: Ready, bro?
MAKOROS: ...Ready.

They insert large microchips into one side of the gold devices on their wrists and flick a lever at the bottom.

BOTH: Androjinn, Accele-lightning!

INT.- DAWN'S APARTMENT- DAY

Aron falls away from the door. He leans farther back against the wall and slides down to the floor with a far away look in his eyes. Chase and Dawn stare at him, confused.

DAWN: Aron? What did they say?
ARON: Remember them saying that they had two of those robotic animal things, but the robots had three?
CHASE: Yeah? What about them?
ARON: The robots' ones came through the hole... Theirs didn't.

We see the horrified looks given by Chase and Dawn, who both seem to know what’s coming next.

ARON: They can't win alone. If we stay here... then we're all going to die.

They all stand there thinking of what will happen or what they could do.

ARON: There's got to be something we can do about the giant animals.
DAWN: Maybe there's a way to control them.
CHASE: Logical, but not practical. Do you think they'll just leave something like that laying out in the open? It'll be guarded. Heavily!
ARON: But it's our only chance.
CHASE: And what about what happened last time?
ARON: Dude, what happened to your spirit? You were all for helping them a minute ago... and now you won't because they said no?

FLASHBACK: Chase is a little kid, pestering his dad.

INT.- CHASE'S HOUSE, DOORWAY- NIGHT

CHASE: But dad, I can help-
COOP: Sorry, Chase, no means no.
CHASE: But, dad-
COOP: Son, I'm saying this for your own good. It's not safe. It is really dangerous and you could get hurt. I can’t look after you and look for her at the same time, Chase. I know you want to help, but you’re just not old enough for something like this and... if you were the one to find her... and she was…

Coop chokes back what he was going to say and hides his face from Chase.

COOP: Look, I don't want your help this time because I can't see anything happen to you. I don't want this to happen twice in one week- please.

Chase gives him a sad look. Coop softens, kneeling down next to Chase.

COOP (cont.): Here. Hold this for me... Your sister will look after you while I‘m gone, ok?

Cooper gives Chase a picture. Chase hugs it to himself and starts crying as Coop gets up & walks out the door. End Flashback.

INT.- DAWN'S APARTMENT, LIVING ROOM- DAY

Chase squeezes his hand into a fist as he slowly stands up.

CHASE: When you're right, you're right. I'm sick of being safe! We’re going to do this- we have to do this… because we’re the only ones who can.

Chase flashes a smile to Aron and Dawn.

CHASE (cont.): We're the only ones with a chance right now. We have to try... it's our turn!
ARON: There he is!
DAWN: I'm up for it.

Aron & Dawn show that they're proud of Chase as they take their places next to him. He flashes a dangerous smile and stares off in the direction of the front door.

CHASE: Come on, guys. Lets go.

Chase heads for the door with Dawn & Aron following him. Fade to black.

EPISODE 2
>>>RISE OF THE FIVE<<<

EXT.- HAWK VALLEY, ALLEY- DAY

Suddenly, with a whirring noise, a pair of Electrones fly into a wall. Others in the alley back up behind the fallen ones and seem worried.

TYL: Lightning Cleaver!

A green blur flashes through the Electrones. It stops and we see past the leg of a green ranger as the Electrones fall to the ground, sparking. The green ranger demorphs and we pan up to his face as he turns to survey the damage.

MAKOROS: Power down!

Makoros falls from a higher point and demorphs as he lands. He looks up at Tyl.

MAKOROS: How many of these things got through?
TYL: No idea, bro. You get the ones on the roof?

Makoros shrugs indignantly.

MAKOROS: What do you think I was doing up there, having a garden party?

Tyl gives him a weird look. Makoros tries to explain himself.

MAKOROS: You see, there was a garden on top of that building-
TYL: Wow... this world is a little too weird.
MAKOROS: You're telling me. Now where to?

Tyl hits a button on his morpher, projecting a slowly rotating hologram map. he stares at it for a minute, then looks up and points south.

TYL: That way. Come on.
MAKOROS: Yeah.

EXT.- DAWN'S APARTMENT BUILDING- DAY

We see Chase, Aron and Dawn running down the street. They're making up their plan as they go along.

ARON: So what do we do again?
CHASE: We disguise ourselves as Electrones and sneak in! Then we can grab these Androjinn things and get out.
DAWN: Aren't you forgetting something?
CHASE: Like what?
DAWN: How do you know that they'll be tricked that easily?
ARON: Good point! And, this is just a thought... but where did they go exactly?

They suddenly stop, panting and leaning against the buildings. They've stopped next to an alley.

CHASE: I don't know. But we have to try. There's just too much at stake.

Aron stops as he looks into the alley. It is the site of Tyl & Makoros' battle and it's full Electrone bodies.

ARON: Look.

They all stare into the alley.

CHASE: Phase one... complete.
ARON: Either someone wants us to succeed or... you know, die.
DAWN: How eloquent of you, Aron.
CHASE: Well, come on. We don't have all day. Maybe they have something that'll help us find their friends.

EXT.- GAIARC CAMP- DAY

Outside the city, the Electrones are setting up a camp for the two generals, Tronyx and Spadron. Tronyx is conversing with Spadron while yelling directions at the Electrones.

TRONYX: Put that one over there, you imbecile! Ahhh! Will you just look at this place Spadron? And it's ripe for the taking too!
SPADRON: This place? This place is ugly! All those horrible looking things they call trees and all that grass! And the sky! The sky is so blue, I can't take it!
TRONYX: Yes, well apparently, humans need them to survive. They breath out oxygen while humans breath out gasses that help the plants survive as well. But... if conquering this place will make our Empress happy, then we have no choice in it.
SPADRON: But when can we go home! This place scares me, the humans here actually use our kind as slaves!
TRONYX: Yes, its quite sad, but we've only been sent to scout it out for now. Don't worry, we'll come back... and free our brothers from these creatures before long. When we have what the Empress wants, that is!

Spadron gives a sigh of annoyance and looks around.

SPADRON: Then lets hurry up! I'd hate to go offline here when those blasted Accele-knights show up.
TRONYX: Don't worry. We have quite the advantage here.
SPADRON: And what is that?

Tronyx motions to the three Androjinn plugged into a weird device nearby. Every few seconds, it gives of odd colored sparks.

TRONYX: Theirs didn't come through!

Spadron laughs maniacally.

SPADRON: All the better! Maybe we'll make it back... and maybe they won't!
TRONYX: Only time will tell- as the humans say.

The two of them laugh and move on.

EXT.- HAWK VALLEY, EMPTY LOT- DAY

Off in another part of the city, Tyl and Makoros are fighting off more of the Electrones.

TYL: Twelve!
MAKOROS: Only twelve? I've got fifteen!
TYL: No you don't!
MAKOROS: Yeah I do!
TYL: No way! You must have miscounted!
MAKOROS: Are you saying you don't trust me, brother?
TYL: I trust you, but math was never your strong point!
MAKOROS: Hey! I can count!
TYL: To what?

The fight is now over. They regroup to talk a moment. Makoros considers Tyl's question for a second.

MAKOROS: High enough!
TYL: Be more specific!

They demorph & walk off together.

MAKOROS: So? do you think those three managed to stay out of trouble?
TYL: I guess we'll find out when we get back, won't we?

EXT.- GAIARC CAMP- DAY

There are three Electrones carrying a plastic crate. They make it past a few Electrone guards, then we hear a commotion. The Electrones are whispering to each other. One begins trying to itch itself with one hand.

ARON: Ahh! This thing is really itchy, you know that!
CHASE: Be quiet!
ARON: You couldn't come up with a better idea than-
CHASE: I said be quiet! These things don't talk!
ARON: Oh yeah! They beep and buzz, right?
CHASE: Just try to carry it right.
ARON: I'm carrying it fine!
CHASE: No you're not! They don't carry things like that!
ARON: Yeah cause they just had to be programmed to carry things in a way impossible for humans to mimic!
DAWN: Will you two shut up before you get us killed?

They are getting closer to Tronyx and Spadron, who are near the Androjinn at the center of camp.

ARON: Hey, I'll shut up when he stops talking to me like that!

Chase and Dawn give each other a look, then look back at Aron.

CHASE & DAWN: No you won't.
ARON: Huh! My own friends don't know me at all!
CHASE: No, actually I think the problem is that we know you too well!

Tronyx and Spadron are arguing as well.

SPADRON: Are we ready to go home yet?
TRONYX: Shh! Do you hear something?
SPADRON: Hear what?
TRONYX: Over there!

They watch the three fake Electrones marching the box by a few yards from them as they listen to them argue under their breath the whole way. Tronyx sighs and shakes his head.

TRONYX: Come on, Spadron. I think our little friends are back.

Tronyx & Spadron appear behind Chase, Aron & Dawn, addressing them.

TRONYX: Where are you three going with that? We told you to take it over there!

The three suddenly stop, drop the crate and turn to face Tronyx and Spadron. Aron, not knowing what to do, tries to absolve the situation.

ARON: Ummm. Bloop, bloop, blip, buzz... pop?
DAWN: Oh, yeah, they're convinced now!
CHASE: You couldn't shut up for, like, two seconds?
SPADRON: Now's the fun part! Electrones, destroy!

The Electrones drop what they're doing and look around for the targets they're supposed to attack, but are confused by the Electrone suits. Spadron jumps up and down in anger as he tries to make them understand.

SPADRON: You idiots! There! Attack!

Tronyx hits him in the back of the head and pulls out his sword.

TRONYX: They don't know what you're talking about you imbecile! They think it's just three more Electrones!

Dawn figures out what's going on and whispers to the others.

DAWN: Guys! I think we're safe as long as we keep the suits on! The Electrones can't find a target because they think we're three of them!
ARON: Oh, finally some good news!
CHASE: No its not! What about those two?
ARON: What?

Suddenly, Tronyx dives down on them and slashes with his sword. Spadron follows from behind and stretches his arms.

SPADRON: Finally, we get to do our own destroying! No problem!

Spadron bashes Dawn and Aron back with his shovels as Tronyx grabs Chase by the shoulder and lifts him up in the air.

TRONYX: Any last words?
CHASE: This was a really bad idea!
TRONYX: Well, when your spirit gets wherever your species believes it goes, I at least know that it learned a lesson!

Dawn sees the Androjinn and rushes to them. Spadron beats her there and grabs her. He holds her just out of reach and watches her struggle to get them while laughing.

SPADRON: Oh, no you don't my pretty! I want to play just a little longer!
DAWN: Aron! The Androjinn!

Aron gets up a little disoriented. He holds his head as he takes the Electrone mask off.

ARON: What?
DAWN: The things we came here for!
ARON: Oh. Ok, where are they?
DAWN: Right in front of me!
ARON: Then you get them!

Chase is baiting Tronyx.

CHASE: You know, you're just wasting your time savoring my demise. Time better well spent keeping your precious Androjinn safe.
TRONYX: Oh, I'll manage both, trust me!
DAWN: Aron! I can't get them!

Aron is stumbling around trying to figure out what's going on. He is also stripping off the Electrone costume while he goes.

ARON: Why not, you said you're right there!
DAWN: The stupid shovel thing's got me!
SPADRON: The stupid shovel thing' is going to dig your grave!

Aron snaps out of it and begins spinning around wildly, looking for Dawn. She is being choked by Spadron, who is holding her up against the crates. The Electrones are now closing in.

ARON: Dawn! Where are you!
DAWN: Over here, you numbskull!

Chase has a new idea. He looks off in a random direction.

CHASE: Oh, that doesn’t sound good.
TRONYX: What?

Tronyx follows his gaze, giving Chase the chance he was looking for.

CHASE: The oldest trick in the book!

Chase kicks Tronyx and Tronyx drops him, falling back a couple of paces & taking some of the Electrone costume with him. Chase runs to get the Androjinn.

ARON: DAWN!!!

Aron finally sees Dawn & runs toward her.

DAWN: No, I'm fine- get the Androjinn! Behind me!

Dawn is now ripping off parts of the costume and throwing them at Spadron. The Electrones finally understand what's going on and are running into the battle.

TRONYX: When were you all thinking of joining in? Get them!

Dawn kicks Spadron back and turns to the Androjinn. All three make it at once and rip them out of the device. It makes a strong static spark, then powers down the three Androjinn lose their essential glow as the three friends look at them in wonder.

DAWN: We got them!
TRONYX: Don't be so sure!

The three turn around and Chase takes his mask off. Tronyx and Spadron are standing by as the three realize that they are surrounded by Electrones with blasters aimed at them.

CHASE: It's ok. At least we know we tried.
TRONYX: Ready!
ARON: No it's not! We screwed up!
DAWN: Aron, shut up!
SPADRON: Aim!
ARON: No! Now the whole world is going down the drain because we screwed it up! Everything is ruined! Forever!
CHASE: No.

Chase gets a crazy look in his eye & walks forward to stand in front of his friends.

CHASE: NO!
TRONYX: How valiant of you, but all that'll happen is you'll go first!
CHASE: I don't care! If I go down, I'm going down fighting! You two with me?

Aron & Dawn are surprised, but agree, becoming more resolved.

ARON: Yeah.
DAWN: Let's do this.

They take stances, back to back, squeezing the Androjinn in their fists. The Androjinn begin glowing again.

SPADRON: Fire!

The Electrones shoot at the three, but the Androjinn glow super bright, forming a shield & deflecting all of the blasts. Many of the Electrones are hit and fall back. Debris of crates, equipment and dust fly everywhere from the laser fire.

TRONYX: Cease fire! Looks like we'll have to do this the old fashioned way!
SPADRON: That's what I'm talking about!

The three stare at the Androjinn in astonishment. Also, the energy seems to have blasted away what was left of the Electrone costumes.

CHASE: What just happened?
ARON: I don't know... but even I'm impressed!
DAWN: Well, we still have to get through these guys! Ready, set, go?
CHASE: Ready, set, go!
ARON: What?
CHASE: Old game- never mind! Come on!

The three tuck the Androjinn in their pockets and we see them start glowing through the pockets as well. The Electrones close in and the battle begins. The three quickly split up. We go back and forth between them as they fight off the Electrones, oddly doing better this time. They are slowly pushed back into the pile of crates behind them and they begin kicking and throwing the crates and their contents at the Electrones. They hide in the center of the crates to relax a minute.

CHASE: How long do you think we can keep this up?
ARON: Oh, I can keep this up forever! I feel great!
CHASE: Ok, realistically, how long? Dawn?
DAWN: I don't know.
ARON: You guys worry to much. We'll make it!
TRONYX: Surrender the Androjinn! If you do so now, you might live.

Spadron sniggers quietly.

SPADRON: Long enough to be experiments of the Crown Gaia Sapis!
ARON: Did I hear shovel boy correctly?
DAWN: About the experiment thing?
CHASE: That doesn't sound all too reassuring!
ARON: Well, what do we do?
DAWN: There's only one thing we can do! Make a run for it!
ARON: You lunatic! We'll be shot!
CHASE: Wait! No we won't... remember the lights? They think we're invincible, they won't waste time and energy to stop and shoot.
DAWN: It's seriously our only chance right now. If we keep fighting like this we will go down at some point.

Aron considers it shortly.

ARON: All right. On the count of what now?
CHASE: Five.
TRONYX: Spadron! I think you scared them with your experiments-of-the-Gaia statement!
DAWN: Four.
SPADRON: Come out, come out, wherever you are... or we'll come in!
ARON: Three.
TRONYX: Last chance!
DAWN: Two!
SPADRON: Ha-ha-hah! Charge!
CHASE: One!
ARON: Let's go!

As the Electrones race to attack the makeshift fort of plastic crates, the three jump out from one side and race away. The Electrones are momentarily shocked, but turn to chase the three toward the edge of the camp.

TRONYX: After them!
CHASE: Come on!

They run as fast as they can while Spadron takes the lead. Dawn trips and falls and the others stop, turn and yell to her to hurry. Chase looks back and forth between her and Spadron a couple of times, as she slowly pushes herself to her feet, and runs back for her. Aron follows. Spadron and many Electrones shoot energy beams as Chase & Aron reach Dawn and drag her up. The energy explodes around them, kicking up dirt and they cover their faces. Dawn falls down again, followed by the other two. Spadron and the Electrones quickly surround them and Spadron steps forward.

SPADRON: I've been waiting all day for this! This time... there will be no mistakes!

EXT.- HAWK VALLEY, STREETS- DAY

Tyl and Makoros have just finished with more Electrones when Tyl hears the battle at the Gaiarc camp.

TYL: Do you hear that?
MAKOROS: Yeah. Why?
TYL: Uh, what could laser blasts possibly mean here? Hmm?
MAKOROS: Oh... No!

The two of them run toward the camp.

EXT.- GAIARC CAMP- DAY

Spadron draws closer and Tronyx watches from a distance. Suddenly, as if sensing something, Tronyx goes rigid and turns around. Laser blasts come out of nowhere and Tronyx is hit and damaged. Spadron looks up and sees a man standing outside the camp, surrounded by others with lasers and tan colored uniforms.

DURRANE: Fire!

Spadron sees Tronyx staggering away, holding his face, and looks around as the remaining Electrones explode around him.

SPADRON: General down! Gaiarc forces, retreat! Retreat!

The Electrones split up and retreat away from the camp, into the city, in groups. Spadron follows one, leaving Tronyx on his own. Tronyx is saved by a fleeing group of Electrones that pass near him. Chase, Aron and Dawn look up just as someone, a woman, offers them her hand. She is in the same tan uniform as the others, but with black trim and decorative patches of colors on one side.

HELINA: Lt. Helina, Gaian Human Resistance, Main Force, 2nd in command! Come with me, you three... the General would like to meet you all.
ARON: I'd really not like to meet anyone else today. Really! I've met way to many people today and I haven't taken a shine to a single one!
HELINA: Well, you really don't have a choice. I'd come to General Durrane if I were you. You don't want to be the ones he comes for.

The three, now standing, give each other looks as Helina keeps the same harsh look on all three at once.

EXT.- HUMAN RESISTANCE CAMP- DAY

They've been brought to a lean-to made of poles and thin, tan cloth and are sitting in front of a makeshift table made from more poles and pieces of the broken crates. Helina is standing at ease nearby. The man who was leading the fight against the robots before is standing with his back to them. He has apparently already debriefed them as he slowly turns around.

DURRANE: So that's what you three were doing, huh?
CHASE: Yeah. We came here to get those Androjinn things. That's all.
DURRANE: And you have no idea where my sons went?
DAWN: Your sons?
DURRANE: Tyl and Makoros. They're both commanders of their own squadrons... and my only sons.
ARON: No, sir. We haven't seen them since the apartment.
DURRANE: And you've already been debriefed by those two?
CHASE: Yeah. They told us everything. About the robot things, I mean.
DURRANE: Good. So, did you retrieve them?
ARON: Retrieve what?
DURRANE: The Androjinn. Did you get what you came for?

They all look at each other. Dawn answers uneasily.

DAWN: Yeah.
DURRANE: May I see them?

They each dig into their pockets, but they suddenly look at each other in alarm when they can't find them. They begin patting themselves down and digging in their other pockets, but can't find anything.

CHASE: We had them!
ARON: The robots must have gotten them back somehow!
DAWN: I don't understand! They couldn't have, they didn't even get close enough to all of us to pick our pockets!
CHASE: What happened to it?

Chase pulls out the cell phone in his pocket for a better chance of finding the lost item. He doesn't notice it at first, but Aron sees it.

ARON: Hey, Chase? When did you get a new phone?
CHASE: What? I didn't get a new-

He sees the cell phone in his hand and freaks out because its not his.

CHASE: Oh no! I must of picked up the wrong phone somewhere!
ARON: Yeah, but where?
DURRANE: Excuse me, but this... cell phone thing is not as important as the Androjinn! Where are they?

Dawn suddenly gets an idea.

DAWN: Aron... what about your phone?
ARON: My phone? There's nothing wrong with my phone!

Aron pulls out his phone and its exactly the same as Chase's.

ARON: No! That Carlson guy must've stolen our phones and gave us these things instead! They probably don't even work-
CHASE: Carlson is deaf and blind, he couldn't have pulled that off without us knowing- trust me!

Dawn pulls hers out too and its the same as the others. She opens it and runs her finger over one side of it until she accidentally hits a button. A hidden hatch at the top of the LCD screen opens and she looks inside and pulls out the yellow Androjinn. Helina gasps and rushes over. Durrane is also in awe.

DAWN: Guys, I think I solved the mystery... the energy radiating off of the Androjinn must have caused them to... bond with our phones!
CHASE: What?
ARON: That doesn't even make sense!

They look over and are just as surprised at her discovery.

HELINA: No, its entirely possible, they've done it before.
CHASE & ARON: They have?
DURRANE: Yes! Where do you think Tyl and Makoros' Pedal Manacles came from, eh?
HELINA: It's a hybrid form of normal and Androjinn technologies. It also synthesizes the DNA on the object it bonds to... allowing the last living organism to touch it the ability to bond with the energy output.

The three stare at each other in confusion.

DAWN: Ok, I'm the smart one and you've lost me.
DURRANE: Don't you get it? You three are the same as my sons now! The Androjinn have bonded to each of you, all you have to do is secure it by using that bond, just once, and you'll become something even the Gaiarc have learned to fear!
ARON: Which is?
DURRANE: Accele-knights. Warriors who can synthesize the powers of the Androjinn and become true biotic/ mechanical hybrids with the power to fight the robots on their level!
HELINA: And pilots! The only pilots, that is, who can operate and control the Androfauna directly, without a computer link!
CHASE: In other words: we just screwed up our lives for good, didn't we?
DURRANE: You can either accept it, or not. But know that once you do and use the power to fight them just once, you're linked forever.

Suddenly a soldier walks in.

SOLDIER: Sir! We have the official enemy body count, sir!
DURRANE: Which is?
SOLDIER: Fifty-nine Electrones terminated, sir.
DURRANE: And Tronyx or Spadron?
SOLDIER: They're nowhere to be seen, sir. They must have escaped with the others!
HELINA: Typical!
CHASE: Wait a minute... Dawn, where was shovel boy going?
DAWN: I saw him for only a second and he ran... he ran toward the city!
ARON: Oh no, you're not planning what I think you are!
CHASE: Aron, that thing is going to hurt innocent people! Tyl and Makoros didn't go anywhere near this direction! In fact, we have no idea where they are! We have to track him down!
DURRANE: You're engaging Spadron?

Aron looks at the serious looks on Chase and Dawn's faces.

ARON: Yeah. I guess we are.
DURRANE: Then you'll need to know the code.
CHASE: Code?
DAWN: What code?
HELINA: The ones who created the Androjinn technology programmed an access code for DNA bonding. You must say what you wish to bond to-
DURRANE: In this case its the Androjinn.
HELINA: Right. Then you must say the code word Accele-lightning. It'll activate the bonding sequence and make it final.
DURRANE: I'm assuming that you must hit this button, here, to activate the morphing device.

Durrane points to a long gold button a directly under the cell phone screen.

DURRANE (cont.): Godspeed. We may be able to finally get rid of at least one of the Gaiarc Officers.
CHASE: Trust me, it would be my honor.
DAWN: Mine too.
ARON: You know I'm in, I hate technology! Even more so that before after today... and I didn't think that was possible!
DURRANE: Then go! Hurry, before he finds someone to hurt!

The three rush out and head for the city to dispatch General Spadron. Durrane and Helina watch as they run off into the distance.

DURRANE: I hope this works.
HELINA: I do to... because if not, we just sent three random kids off to their deaths.

Durrane gives Helina a grim look, then turns back to the distant figures of Chase, Aron and Dawn.

DURRANE: Like I said... this had better work.

EXT.- HAWK VALLEY, ALLEY- DAY

Chase, Dawn & Aron finally find Spadron as he rounds the corner of a building.

SPARDON: Gotta get out of here! I must make my report! I must return to my queen.
ARON: Not so sure you’re going to get that far!

Aron steps out of the shadows in front of a startled Spadron.

SPADRON: Oh! Its just you again!
ARON: Well who were you expecting, the tooth fairy?
SPADRON: You can’t stop me, no one human can! Your lucky I’m in a rush!

Spadron turns to run in the opposite direction, but finds it blocked by Dawn.

DAWN: Sorry… can’t go this way either.
SPADRON: One way left!

Spadron attempts to take a side alley to his right, but finds it blocked by Chase. The three of them begin backing Spadron up to the building.

CHASE: This many enough for you, shovel boy?

Spadron senses something on the other side of the wall and laughs at the three.

SPADRON: I’d love to stay and chat, but I have a report to make! My empress will be pleased when she finds Earth viable!
ARON: Empress?
CHASE: Whoa, whoa, whoa! What empress?

Spadron suddenly turns and rips a hole in the wall of the building revealing an elevator shaft. He jumps inside and is lost to sight, leaving Chase & the others extremely confused.

CHASE: Why’d he do that?
ARON: Well, looks like the end of him! Come on guys, great job!
DAWN: Hold on a second!

Spadron suddenly rises back into view, riding on top of the elevator.

SPADRON: See you on the top floor suckers!
CHASE: Hurry up, stop him!

The three run to intercept Spadron, but he uses his shovels to bring down a pile of rubble, blocking the entrance.

ARON: What now?
DAWN: Stairs! Come on!

She grabs Aron and Chase by the arm and hauls them toward an entrance.

EXT.- OFFICE BUILDING, ROOF- DAY

Spadron bursts through, landing on the roof.

SPADRON: That lift made a lot of stops- but it was well worth the idea! Now, where is the portal?
ARON: Screw the portal, you’re going down!

The three burst onto the roof from the stairs.

DAWN: Yeah, I really don’t think up is an option from here.

Aron gives her a look.

ARON: Why do you have to ruin everything?
SPADRON: Silence! If you three are so intent on a pitched battle, then you may have your wish! Bring it on, as you say!

The three exchange secretive looks.

CHASE: I’m ready if you guys are.
ARON: Dude… I’m with you. Let’s just do this.
DAWN: I’m kind of with Aron on this one, we should really stop stalling.
CHASE: All right. Ready?

Chase holds up his Velocity Morpher.

ARON & DAWN: Ready!

Aron and Dawn hold up their morphers as well.

SPADRON: Wait a minute, are you going to do what I think you are?
ALL THREE: Androjinn, Accele-lightning!
SPADRON: Noooo!

ANIMATION: An eagle, lion and bear fly out of spinning Accele-lightning symbols. With a flash, they transform into the three zords, Velocitalon, Velocimane and Velocigrizzly. They drive forward and become balls of light and fly forward to each ranger. The Rangers hold up their morphers and a smaller ball of light flies out of each and ignites in fire, becoming the 1, 2 and 3 symbols of each zord. Four blank computer panels fly out of each and spin around each ranger as violet scanning lines flow up and down them. The panels spin faster and closer as they begin showing different views of the ranger suits. With a flash, they unite over each ranger. The flash is absorbed into the headlights on the helmets of the fully morphed ranger.

DAWN: Love it!

Aron seems to be on the verge of a panic attack and grabs Chase by the shoulders and shakes him.

ARON: Dude… Power Rangers are real!
CHASE: That’s what I told you in the first place, now will you let me go? Thank you!

Spadron fires lasers from his shovels and the rangers pose.

CHASE: Red Ranger!
ARON: Blue Ranger!
DAWN: Yellow Ranger!
ALL THREE: Power Rangers Accele-lightning!

The lasers narrowly miss the rangers and causes a huge implosion in the background.

CHASE: Ready, set, go?
ARON & DAWN: Lets go!

The three new rangers run at Spadron who, beginning to show signs of fright, starts shooting blasts at them. All the blasts miss causing explosions all around the three.

CHASE: Velocity Nozzle!

Chase jumps into the air and pulls out a strange laser gun which he aims at Spadron. His companions follow suit.

EXT.- HUMAN RESISTANCE CAMP- DAY

Tyl and Makoros have just arrived to investigate. Durrane and Helina run to greet them.

DURRANE: There you guys are! We got tired of waiting for you two- came to find you!
MAKOROS: The area is secure, sir. We’ve spent the last few hours blowing up Electrones.
DURRANE: Well, at least you’re safe, unlike those three we saved earlier.

Tyl becomes interested, shoving his way closer to Durrane.

TYL: Wait, what was that, sir?
DURRANE: Oh, well, about half an hour ago, this was a Gaiarc scanning camp. We came in and saved three kids’ butts who were attempting to take back the Androjinn. They succeeded because of us.
TYL: Two guys and a girl with glasses?
DURRANE: Yeah, actually. Why?

Tyl covers his face with a hand and groans in annoyance. Makoros has a huge smile on his face.

TYL: I knew we shouldn’t have left those three back at that apartment.
MAKOROS: So they got them, huh?
HELINA: Yes. Actually, you guys are lucky that you have help now.
TYL: Wait. What!
HELINA: They’ve accidentally made the transition. They’re the new Accele-knight pilots 1, 2 and 3.
TYL: Where are they?
DURRANE: Not here. They went after Spadron.
MAKOROS: Ok, look even I know that was a horrible, bad idea.
DURRANE: Why?
TYL: Dad, they’re not from Gaia! They don’t know how to use the Accele-knight tech!
MAKOROS: And from what we saw, they were pretty bad fighters too.
TYL: Now, if you’ll excuse us, dad, we have a couple more people to save. Come on Mackey.
MAKOROS: Right.

Tyl and Makoros run back off to the city.

EXT.- OFFICE BUILDING, ROOF- DAY

We see the rangers’ blasts hit Spadron, but there’s almost no effect. Spadron laughs in triumph and blocks the rangers’ second advances.

MONTAGE: back and forth between the rangers, who are getting their butts kicked by Spadron and Tyl and Makoros, who are running through the city, following the sounds of battle that they hear.

EXT.- HAWK VALLEY, ALLEY- DAY

Finally, Tyl stops. He holds out an arm to stop Makoros and points up at the roof of a building. We see a flash of colors and some of Spadron. A blast causes debris to fall down the building side.

TYL: Mackey, there!
MAKOROS: Oh, so, what’s the battle plan this time?

They exchange looks and suddenly break into smiles.

TYL: Lightning Power?
MAKOROS: Lightning Power? Ah, my favorite maneuver!

Makoros rubs his hands together as Tyl pulls out a rope from an inside pocket of his trench coat. One side is knotted in a circle, like a lasso, and Tyl puts this around Makoros and ties the other end around his wrist.

TYL: Ready?
MAKOROS: Ready.
TYL: Ok. Androjinn, Accele-lightning!

Tyl flicks the lever on his “Pedal Manacle†and takes a secure grip on the rope. He begins glowing green and suddenly rushes for the building.

MAKOROS: My turn. Androjinn, Accele-lightning!

As the rope gets inches from being pulled taut, Makoros begins glowing dark purple and jumps forward. We see Tyl begin running up the side of the building and Makoros being, for the most part, pulled behind.

EXT.- OFFICE BUILDING, ROOF- DAY

On the rooftop, the rangers are thrown back together and seem like they should be nearing a state of panic. Their suits have small gashes and burns. Spadron launches another blast at them. In slo-mo, the blast sends the three flying up in the air, moaning in pain. They slam back onto the floor of the roof and demorph. Their morphers clatter to the ground a few feet in front of them as Spadron laughs in triumph. As the three new rangers writhe in pain, Spadron slowly walks towards them.

SPADRON: Well, I hope you three kids had fun playing Accele-knights! At least I’ll have neutralized this little… well it’s almost laughable to even call it a threat! Anyway, I’ll be taking the Androjinn back to the Gaia Empress… along with your lifeless bodies!

He raises his arm in the air, preparing to deliver the final strike to the rangers as two lights, one green and one black, connected by a rope fly up, over the boundary of the roof.

TYL: Lightning Cleaver!
MAKOROS: Lightning Sniper!

Spadron is hit with an energy slash and multiple laser shots and flies back with a surprised yell. The lights land in front of the three who look up in awe at two more fully morphed rangers as the light dies away from them. Pan up each ranger, cutting to quick images in between showing more detail. When we reach the helmet, each one poses and gives a callout.

TYL: Velocicurrent! Accele-knight 4, full speed!
MAKOROS: Velocicanine! Accele-knight 5, full speed!

The Green and Black Rangers put aside their axe & blaster to help the others up and return their morphers to them.

TYL: For right now just morph and we’ll explain everything later!
CHASE: Good call. Androjinn, Accele-lightning!
ARON & DAWN: Androjinn, Accele-lightning!

Chase, Aron and Dawn re-morph into rangers and pull out their Velocity Nozzles. Spadron begins stumbling after them and the three new rangers attempt to charge him again, but are stopped by Tyl.

TYL: Wait! Before you use that, you need to insert an Androjinn.
ARON: But… aren’t they keeping out morphers on?
MAKOROS: Not those ones, you each have a spare on your utility belt called a Blast Jinn. Think about the ones in your morphers and they‘ll automatically charge, then put them into the slot in the back of the V-Nozzles while we keep this guys back.

Tyl and Makoros brandish their weapons, a vehicle style green ax and black blaster, and rush to meet Spadron, who has almost closed the gap and has recovered from the previous blast sufficiently to fight.
The three open on of the Jinn Holsters on their belts and pull out the Blast Jinni, three identical checkered-flag design Androjinn. As they hold them, they begin glowing red, blue and yellow for each ranger and the flag design ripples and moves away. The numerical symbols from each of the real Androjinn appears and grows into view as if flying forward. The rangers insert what now appears to be their actual Androjinn into a slot in the back of the lasers as Makoros instructed. And we see the numericals appear in a green-plastic window on the side of the Velocity Nozzles.
Now with active weapons, the three shout out excitement and run into battle.
Tyl and Makoros take shots at Spadron with their unique weapons and then hold him in place for the other three, who fire blasts. This time, the blasts injure Spadron. Chase puts the Velocity Nozzle into the rod mode.

CHASE: Velocity Cutter!

Each of the five take turns attacking Spadron. Makoros’ final laser blast throws Spadron back again. Spadron struggles to return to his feet.

ARON: You’re kidding me!
DAWN: What do we do now, he’s getting back up!
TYL: leave this to us.

Tyl and Makoros step in front of the others and combine the Lightning Sniper and Lightning Cleaver together into a large laser cannon.

TYL & MAKOROS: Lightning Nos Blaster!
TYL: Activating Blast Jinn.

Tyl inserts his Blast Jinn, taking the form of the Green Androjinn, into a hidden compartment on the side of the black part. Spadron finally gets back on his feet and turns to come after the rangers again with an angry yell.

TYL & MAKOROS: Fire!

Spadron is hit with an explosion.

EXT- HAWK VALLEY, ROOFTOPS- DAY

We see Tronyx, in slightly better condition from before, watching from another building. He holds up his arm and appears to hit a button.

TRONYX: Poor Spadron, the fool. Now, for a little distraction.

EXT- OFFICE BUILDING, ROOF- DAY

As the rangers celebrate, Spadron gets back up again, laughing. The Rangers turn around in shock.

TYL: Oh no.
ARON: How’d he do that?
DAWN: What’s happening?
MAKOROS: Just watch.

Spadron jumps off the roof, but with a flash of light suddenly grows to building size, much to the rangers’ dismay. We see a lot of people in the area exclaim in fear and point out the spectacle. Spadron looks at the rangers, laughs maniacally and walks off to destroy the city.
Tyl, now demorphed, grabs Chase by the shoulders and looks him in the eyes.

TYL: Now listen to me very closely. This’ll be the hard part because you’ll be on your own.

Chase backs up to stand next to Aron and Dawn. Makoros approaches Tyl from behind to stand by him.

CHASE: What do we do?
TYL: You need to exert your control over the Androfauna using the Androjinn. You can drive them, just like a car, from inside a cockpit once you attach your morphers to the system.
MAKOROS: Right. And once online, you need to put them together.
ARON: You mean like a Megazord?
TYL: A what?
DAWN: A giant robot us Power Rangers are supposed to use to fight giant monsters.
MAKOROS: What the heck’s a Power Ranger?
TYL: Look, we don’t have time to play around here. We’ve never combined the Androfauna because ours aren‘t compatible for any combination on their own, but if you can’t figure out something, the Androfauna should show you.
CHASE: Cool. Let’s go guys.
ARON: Aw, we have to go so soon.
DAWN: Shut up, Aron.

The three run past Tyl and Makoros to get to the stairs again. The two turn to watch them go and Makoros has a huge smile on his face. He waves to them as they make the stairwell.

MAKOROS: Drive safely!
TYL: Dude… that’s the stupidest joke I’ve ever heard.

We see the main three Rangers, morphed up once again.

ALL THREE: Androfauna, online!

ANIMATION: The Rangers toss the Androjinn up in the air, in front of open inter-dimensional portals. An Eagle, Lion and Bear come out of each portal and bite down on the Androjinn. From each side, a beam of energy runs down each animal, transforming them into the three Androfauna. An eagle themed racecar, lion themed bus and bear themed ATV slam into the ground and slide to a halt.
We see each ranger enter the cockpit and slide the Velocity Morphers into slots in the center of the steering wheel.

INT.- VELOCITALON COCKPIT- DAY

CHASE: Velocitalon, online!

INT.- VELOCIMANE COCKPIT- DAY

ARON: Velocimane, online! Sweet rides!

INT.- VELOCIGRIZZLY COCKPIT- DAY

DAWN: Velocigrizzly, online! Shut up, Aron.

INT- VELOCITALON COCKPIT- DAY

CHASE: Well, if we’re all done arguing, let’s get him, guys!

EXT- HAWK VALLEY, CA- DAY

The three zords drive down the street as one, to the continued surprise of the people. When each Androfauna attacks Spadron, the people seem relieved and begin cheering the drivers of the odd vehicles on.

ALL THREE: Androfauna, unite! Fauna Soul Megazord!

The three Androfauna combine into a Megazord with a shield made from the lower frame of the Velocigrizzly and a sword that pops out of a hidden compartment in the back of the left leg. The battle begins and we see the people below cheering them on. One woman points with her daughter’s hand.

WOMAN: Look, sweetie! The Power Rangers!
DAUGHTER: Go, Rangers!

EXT- OFFICE BUILDING, ROOF- DAY

Tyl and Makoros watch from the roof as well. Makoros claps Tyl on the back.

MAKOROS: We make great teachers, bro. From scared kids to ready soldiers in less than a day, that has to be some kind of record!
TYL: Yeah… they’ll do fine. Come on, bro. Let’s go see if we can hide an inter-dimensional militia from the public eye. The less people here who know the truth, the better.
MAKOROS: Yeah. Wouldn’t want to start a panic.

Tyl and Makoros make their exit.

EXT- HAWK VALLEY, CA- DAY

Back to the rangers, Spadron can’t seem to beat back the Megazord’s advance. Spadron holds up his hand and backs up in fear.

SPADRON: No! Stop!
CHASE: Ready to finish this, guys?
ARON: Yeah… how?
DAWN: Wait! Velocigrizzly is uploading something… got it! Ok, boys, do what I do.
ALL THREE: Drag Cutter!
SPADRON: Noooo!

ANIMATION: The Megazord, without the shield, holds the sword ready for a slash in both hands, then launches itself forward from one foot. It flies through the darkness, gathering speed as it goes.
The Megazord flies past Spadron, delivering a paralyzing slash across the chest and stops, in a crouching position a few feet away. Spadron falls with another explosion.

EXT- HAWK VALLEY, STREETS- DAY

With the Megazord gone, the Rangers walk down the street between crowds of cheering people. They pass a confused Carlton, who turns around to watch them walking away and yells out to the people of the crowd following the Rangers.

CARLTON: Excuse me? Could somebody give me a lift? A pair of giant robots crushed my car!

INT- COOPS CUSTOM TRAX- DAY

In Chase’s basement, his dad, Coop is watching the Megazord battle on TV. He turns it off and holds up an open locket in shaking hands and stares at the picture inside. He hears the door upstairs and Chase and his friends talking. The three walk back into Chase’s basement talking animatedly about what had happened.

DAWN: I mean, today was just the most amazing day of my life!
CHASE: Yeah, I almost… can‘t wait to do it again!
ARON: By the way, did anyone see exactly where Tyl and Makoros went?

They stop in their when they see Coop standing between them, at the foot of the stairs, and the couch with a stern look on his face. Chase, behind the others, pushes his way to the front and gives them a look. They turn and go back upstairs. Chase turns back to Coop.

CHASE: Hey, dad… where’s Josh?
COOPER: His shift ended hours ago and he left. Where were you, I asked you to get some parts from Carlton and you were gone all day.
CHASE: I’m… sorry, dad. It’s… kind of a… a long story.
COOPER: Do you know what happened today?

Chase begins to try to smooth the situation over with humor as Coop turns the TV back on.

CHASE: Well, there was a lot of- giant robots on the news…
COOPER: Do you have any idea how worried I was? I haven’t been this terrified since the night your mother left us!
CHASE: Right… and Laurie ran away to try to find her.
COOPER: At least they had a little bit of sense back then! Not that it got them anywhere… but you-
CHASE: Dad! It’s fine that you care and all, but I’m tired of you being so protective! I’m tired of sitting back while everyone else handles it and I’m really tired of you using the rest of our family against me all the time! I’ve grown up a little and I have some sense! Look at me… I’m still here. I didn’t get carried off by no... flying saucer or anything! Just relax, dad.
COOPER: Well, just where were you anyway?
CHASE: I… can’t tell you.
COOPER: Oh, you can tell me anything you want- and I really think you should!

Chase struggles with the decision for a bit, then heaves a sigh of defeat and pulls out his Morpher.

CHASE: Ok… here it goes. Androjinn, Accele-lightning!

Chase morphs into the Red Ranger and Coop is speechless. Coop falls back onto the couch.

COOPER: No… not you. Not this.
CHASE: Dad. It’s ok.
COOPER: No… No, you need to give me that thing right now.
CHASE: No. I really can’t.
COOPER: Yes you can, give it to me!
CHASE: No.
COOPER: Yes! Give me the morpher now!
CHASE: Wait, how do you know what it is?
COOPER: That’s not important, just give it to me, now!
CHASE: No, dad!

Coop tries to pry the morpher away, but Chase wins and retreats up the stairs a bit.

CHASE: Dad, just calm down… I need it.
COOPER: I’m not getting it away from you, am I?
CHASE: I’m sorry dad.
COOPER: Then get out.
CHASE: Wait… what!
COOPER: You heard me! I’m tired of this, get out! Go live with your friends for a while, see how that works out for you!
CHASE: But dad!
COOPER: Give me the morpher… or get out.

Chase considers this for a moment, looking from Coop to the morpher and back. Chase demorphs and retreats upstairs as Cooper turns away from the staircase and holds up the locket once more. He squeezes it closed in his fist with a disturbed look on his face and walks into the garage, slamming the door behind him.

INT- CHASE'S HOUSE- DAY

Upstairs, Chase rushes past Aron and Dawn, also in a bad mood.

ARON: Chase, what happened down there?
DAWN: Chase, what’s wrong?
CHASE: Come on, guys, we’re leaving. I can’t believe he’d do something like this!

They follow him to the door. He pulls the door open and the three leave as he slams it behind him.

EXT- CHASE'S HOUSE- DAY

NARRATOR 2(CHASE): And that’s how it began. This is the beginning of an experience of epic proportions. I know no one talks like that, but it’s true. But dad was only a speed bump compared to what was coming. We just didn’t know what we we’re getting into…

INT- CYBEX FORTRESS, THRONE ROOM- DAY

In Gaia, we see an odd looking palace. Inside a throne room of sorts, we focus on the door as a robotic voice makes an announcement.

CYBEX: My Gaia Empress, Sapis, General Tronyx has returned with his report.
GAIA SAPIS: Excellent, Cybex, allow him to enter.

The door opens and Tronyx enters the room and bows down before a figure obscured in shadow on the throne. All we see of her is glowing red eyes.

GAIA SAPIS: First of all, General, where is the other one?
TRONYX: Spadron fell, my Empress, on Earth… to the Accele-knights.
GAIA SAPIS: And is Earth what we hoped for?
TRONYX: It is, my Empress, but the Accele-knights and the others of the resistance guard it fiercely.

Sapis stands, still in the shadows, and roars in fury. A second Spanish-knight style robot, also a female, steps forward to comfort her.

OPTICA: Relax, my Queen. Tronyx, however his current failure, has always been loyal and usually unstoppable in battle. He can still be of use to our cause.
GAIA SAPIS: Quiet, Optica! I swear if those two don’t give up, they’ll die in the longest, most painful way I can think of!
TRONYX: No, my Empress.
GAIA SAPIS: No… what do you mean no, General?

She begins descending from the raised dais where her throne is, as she begins coming out of the light, we focus on Tronyx who answers her quickly and seems scared.

TRONYX: Not two… five.
GAIA SAPIS: What! You let them take back the other Androjinn!

A blast issues and the pieces of Tronyx fly back in front of the door. Optica stumbles backwards into view with her hands up.

GAIA SAPIS: Get what’s left of this worthless fool out of my sight! Now!
OPTICA: Yes, my Queen! Of course, my Queen! I will do it at once!

The view begins shifting across the room as Gaia Sapis rants and raves to herself.

GAIA SAPIS: Earth will soon suffer a fate paling in comparison to Gaia! I won’t stand for these insolent humans any longer! Even if I have to go out and destroy them myself! They’re no bother anyway…

The view falls on the head of Sapis, who is looking down. All we can see is her hair. She suddenly looks up, revealing herself to be in human form with glowing red eyes. She begins speaking in a double voice, one her own and the other, deep and robotic.

GAIA SAPIS: One day soon… the all will fall to the Gaiarc… and there will be neither mercy nor savior for the human race!

Fade to Black.

EPISODE 3
>>>ON-THE-JOB TRAINING<<<

INT- DAWN'S APARTMENT, LIVING ROOM- DAY

Chase Dawn & Aron are on the couch. Dawn & Aron try to comfort Chase, who is completely unresponsive- possibly in shock.

NARRATOR (CHASE): When you loose an object, it can drive you insane, but when you loose a someone you love, it’s far worse. I’ve lost many people I love in my life, friends… my mother… my sister… but I never thought I’d be driven out by the only one I have left. Now, I have no family left, and, on top of that, there are more pressing issues. Aron Chadwick, Dawn Keller, and I, and our new friends, Tyl and Makoros, from Gaia, are an elite force of warriors. Our foe: the deadly bio-robotic forces of the Gaiarc. We are the only thing standing between humanity and annihilation… but we had no idea what we were up against. Up until now, we had no idea just how smart robots could be...

DAWN KELLER: Come on, you need to eat something, Chase. I don’t need to be psychic to know that this isn’t going to end well if you don’t even try to keep up your strength.
ARON CHADWICK: Yeah, man. We have two worlds, not just one, but two worlds to worry about. That’s at least…

Aron begins trying to count on his fingers, but Dawn intercedes, whispering angrily to him.

DAWN: Aron, you are not helping- that’s just going to make him feel worse!
ARON: Oh…

Aron sits back to let Dawn take care of things. Chase finally stirs.

CHASE: Guys, just stop it! I know, really, I know what you guys are trying to do. I realize how many people are counting on us and I know I’m supposed to be team leader here, but I’m sorry! I just don’t… feel well, ok.

Aron & Dawn look on as Chase gets out of the couch & walks across the room. Chase looks back & sees the worried looks on their faces.

CHASE: Look, I’ll try, but you’ll have to… bear with me for a while, ok?
DAWN & ARON: Ok.

Suddenly, Tyl and Makoros walk in from the kitchen with three bowls of ice cream. Makoros seems to be enjoying himself immensely as he licks the spoon.

MAKOROS: This stuff is great! Mmmm! How did we survive before without this... ice cream stuff?

Tyl appears embarassed.

TYL: Just ignore him, guys. We’re not used to such… lavish food.
ARON: You’re calling ice cream lavish? Just what exactly were you used to eating back in robot land?
MAKOROS: Boiled down rainwater and dried meat.
CHASE: Hold on a minute… I thought humans were the only living things left in Gaia… where’s the meat coming from?

Before Makoros can answer, Tyl stops him & changes the subject.

TYL: Uh, that’s not important. We have to worry about what’s going on now, not what’s already happened.
ARON: Ok, I didn’t think we’d have to go over this, but if I die fighting creepy Bio-robots-
DAWN: Oh, come on, Aron! Do you really think that-
TYL: Um, enough… about… food… right now, um. The reason we’re here is that you guys are like us now, and we didn’t exactly get the chance to explain everything you can do. It’s probably a good idea to tell you now, before there’s another attack and-
ARON: Hold on… are we getting good weapons, like you two have?
MAKOROS: No… those were custom made.
TYL: Yeah… but, we are going to teach you how we were able to leap a skyscraper the other day.
DAWN: Yeah, I’ve been meaning to ask you about that. How did you guys manage to get to us in time from the street.
TYL: It’s called Lightning Ability. The energy aura of each Accele-knight-
ARON: Ranger! Not… Accele- whatever, ok?
TYL: Fine. Each Ranger suit aura synchronizes with the genetic code in the bonding sequence, allowing for varied and… unfortunately, random powers.
MAKOROS: Yeah, other than the normal reflex, thought wave and strength enhancements, I, as… Ranger Black, right? Well, I have even more advanced reflexes, so much so, that it kind of borders on precognition.
DAWN: So you can see the future?
MAKOROS: Not really, it’s more like I notice small things and it all kind of… comes together instantaneously, so I can-
TYL: Yeah, bro, we get the idea. I, however, am able to gain velocity with zero resistance from my environment. It’s kind of like… super aerodynamics.
ARON: Alright, so... what do we get?

Tyl seems uncomfortable before answering.

TYL: Well... the problem with that being… the powers are impossible to predict because they aren’t fixed. It depends on personality, body type and, well… we really need to identify your individual abilities and train you to use them in battle. At this point, you’re pretty much useless without them, especially if something really powerful, say... another general, shows up.

Aron raises his hand and speaks up.

ARON: Um… dude, are you insinuating that… we suck?
TYL: No! No, no. It’s just that… well… Your weapons suck?
ARON: Right… then why can’t we just call up the zords and crush them?
MAKOROS: Do you realize how dangerous those things are for the civilians? Besides, it’s not fair.

Aron becomes sarcastic.

ARON: Not fair to the evil robot programmed to kill off humanity? No, no, I see where you’re going with this, I totally get it.

Tyl gives Aron a final look and continues.

TYL: Anyway… Chase, you’re up first. Let’s see what you can do.
CHASE: All right.

Chase stands with a depressed sigh then gives Tyl a look.

CHASE: What do you want me to do?
TYL: Just try to instinctually stop the attack.
CHASE: Wait, you’re going to attack me!
TYL: Just do it! Androjinn, Accele-lightning!

Tyl morphs into the Green Ranger and pulls out his Lightning Cleaver. He rushes Chase and Chase puts his arms up in a defensive block.

CHASE: Hey, don’t use a freaking axe on me!
ARON: Wait, no!

Aron throws his hand up as if to call a halt, but a blue wave of energy shoots out knocking Tyl backward into an antique lamp. The lamp crashes to the floor. Tyl demorphs as he stands up with an amazed look on his face.

TYL: Whoa! Which one of you made the shockwave?

Aron, in shock, slowly raises his hand as Dawn rushes over to the broken lamp on the floor.

DAWN: No! Guys, my mom got that lamp from her grandmother when she died! That’s her most treasured possession, what are we going to do!
ARON: Replace it.
MAKOROS: Oh, don’t worry, we’ve got an expert glass-maker in our camp. He’ll be able to fix it, no worries.
TYL: Yeah, just make sure you get all the big pieces.
DAWN: Yeah, but where is the camp? I haven’t seen any of your Human Resistance fighters since the battle with that… shovel thing.
MAKOROS: Oh… they relocated.
CHASE: To where?
TYL: We took them to this swampy, polluted lake up in the mountains around Hawk Valley.
ARON: Lake Mitchell? You took them there?
MAKOROS: I’m… pretty sure that’s what the sign said, yeah.
TYL: We figured it must be secluded since the sign was… well, almost as old as some of the road signs still standing in Gaia.
DAWN: It’s polluted, it stinks and there’s no fish. Of course no one goes up there.

Dawn puts her hand too close to the lamp’s power cord and suddenly, all the lights in the room flicker. She jumps in shock and touches the cord again. This time, the lights come back on so powerfully that some of the bulbs explode. Everyone shields themselves &, afterwards, slowly get to their feet, looking around in disbelief. Makoros becomes indignant.

MAKOROS: Dude. Am I the only one who gets a stupid power?
CHASE: So... he’s Aerodynamic... he can create shockwaves and... apparently, she’s some sort of human battery?
TYL: Well… if anything, Dawn’s a rechargeable battery, it looks like she absorbed all the electricity from the wire before she discharged it back.
ARON: And blew up the light about five feet from me! Jeez, Dawn, you almost killed me!

Dawn scoffs indignantly.

DAWN: Shut up, Aron. I didn’t do it on purpose!
TYL: Well, that still leaves one. Wait a minute, Chase… you’re covered in glass.
CHASE: I am? I didn’t feel any-

Chase looks at his shoulder to see hot glass from the bulb on his bare skin. He jumps and brushes it off, but it didn’t seem to have left a mark. Makoros gets even more annoyed.

MAKOROS: What? You gotta be kidding me- is he invincible or something?
TYL: I don’t know... Let me try something.

Tyl begins walking away from Chase, but suddenly turns and tries to punch him. Chase grabs his fist and forces Tyl to his knees. Tyl winces.

TYL: Ow, ow, ow, uh, Chase? How much would you say you can normally lift?
CHASE: I don’t know… 130 to 150 pounds.
TYL: Uh... yeah Mackey, he’s invincible!

Chase lets Tyl go and Tyl sits back against the couch and takes a few deep breaths while nursing his hand.

MAKOROS: Oh, come on!
CHASE: Wait, what do you mean I’m invincible?
TYL: I can lift about 300. That should have been impossible for you to trap me like that!
MAKOROS: Yeah. Apparently where Black gets double the reflex ability than the other Rangers, Red gets double the enhanced strength. And I can’t believe that, out of five, I’m the only one with the power that doesn’t actually do anything!
TYL: Yeah. From what I’ve seen the Lightning Abilities are just manifestations of technological anomalies in humans. Apparently, the original version just kind of… makes you a human robot.
CHASE: Ok, if you guys turned me into a robot, I am going to kill you.
TYL: No! I mean that you have the strength and durability of a robot without actually being a robot.

Makoros walks by Chase, pats him on the shoulder, then walks off, rolling his eyes.

MAKOROS: So, as far as humans go, you’re invincible. Congratulations.
TYL: Well most likely not… but a lot closer than any human I’ve ever seen.
CHASE: Ok, stop trying to explain it. I get it now.
TYL: Well, uh… I think we’ve found out what we need to know, so… how about the lamp?

Everyone snaps out of it and goes off to do something. Aron is still amazed with his power & is staring in wonder at his hands. Makoros is still angry with his powers. Chase returns to the couch and sits down. He pulls out a picture from his pocket and stares at it with a look near to tears.

INT- CYBEX FORTRESS, THRONE ROOM- DAY

Gaia Sapis is pacing with Optica and Tronyx in tow.

SAPIS: Optica, why exactly did you fix him?
OPTICA: As I said before, he is a powerful servant my Queen, I assumed he could still be of service.
SAPIS: Fine then... But if he screws up again, I’ll blow you both up! Got it?

Optica and Tronyx exchange looks and bow as Gaia Sapis returns to her throne and sits.

OPTICA & TRONYX: Yes, my Empress.
SAPIS: Well, while you were busy finding new ways to be incompetent, I came up with a new plan.
OPTICA: Oh, do tell, Crown Gaia!
TRONYX: We will carry out any commands you wish of us!
SAPIS: Obviously… But that’s as good as naught since I command you to remain here. I want to discover just how powerful five Knights are compared to two. We’re sending an expeditionary force to take them on. Cybex!

A disembodied voice speaks up.

CYBEX: Of course, mistress?
SAPIS: You keep track of everything I say, don’t you?
CYBEX: But of course. Anything in particular you need to remember, my Queen?
SAPIS: Yes, besides these two, who else is on my list?
CYBEX: If I remember correctly, you seem to have constant reason for wrath over Lt. Muflor, St. Piper, Corporal-
SAPIS: Enough! Two will do, send Muflor and Piper to me at once. I have a special mission for them.
OPTICA: Do you really think that those two are a match for five knights? They could barely take the first two!
SAPIS: Your inquiry is insignificant. This is but a test. And, quite frankly, I don’t exactly care whether those two come back in a recycling bin or not.
TRONYX: And... you don’t want us to do anything?
SAPIS: Not yet, no. Xin Hou may have just gone for it, expecting positive results, but I am not one to take careless chances.

The door slides open and, out of the smoke filled room outside, Muflor (A bus based robot covered in exhaust pipes) and Piper (a robot made out of water pipes) enter and kneel before Gaia Sapis.

CYBEX: My Queen, your subjects have arrived.
MUFLOR & PIPER: Milady, Crown Gaia Sapis!
SAPIS: Rise. And pay close attention to what I say. I have an important mission for you.

EXT- LAKE MITCHELL, CAMP- DAY

We see images of a trashed lake. Oil and garbage float around, weird fumes are coming up and the shore is littered with trash bags and the trash in them. As we move around, we see white tents and awnings: the Human Resistance Camp. They are also dragging the lake, with nets, in old canoes and cleaning the trash from the shoreline. A jeep drives up an old service road and stops in an disused parking lot cracked and covered in weeds and old leaves. The rangers exit the car and walk over to Durrane, who seems to be waiting for them.

DURRANE: Ah, the Accele-knights! Good to see you all again! So, did we figure out what powers the new guys have?

Tyl & Makoros stand to attention before Durrane, Makoros answering the question. Chase, Aron & Dawn stand by uneasily, not knowing what to do.

MAKOROS: Static Manipulation, Shockwaving and Perpetual Invincibility. All active powers… unlike mine.
DURRANE: Mackey, your ability still serves the team just as good as the others.
MAKOROS: I know, but it’s still so… boring when I can only see slow and they can… blow stuff up and… well it’s cooler than what I can do!

Chase places a hand on Makoros' shoulder.

CHASE: Dude. Just use Lightning Sniper thing of yours, then.
ARON: Yeah, dude, calm down. Your being really annoying.
DAWN: Yeah, don’t you hate that?

Helina shows up next to Durrane.

HELINA: Hello, Rangers.
DURRANE: Rangers?
HELINA: That’s what they’re called in this dimension, so I’m told.
DURRANE: Oh.

Helina gives them a quizzical look when she spots their bag.

HELINA: Is there anything you need, Dawn?

Dawn holds up the bag containing the broken lamp.

DAWN: Um, if he’s not busy we could use your glass smith. We had a little... accident when some of us found out we had powers. Right, Aron?
ARON: I said I was sorry, I don’t know what else to say, Dawn.
CHASE: Would you shut up… both of you!

They each give Chase a look. Chaseturns around & stalks off. Durrane and Helina exchange looks and then turn back to the Rangers.

HELINA: Uh, Tyl, Makoros, would you like to show Dawn and Aron to Rasnus?
ARON: Well, that’s fine, I’m good here.
HELINA: Well, then, you can come with me and help with my secret project.

Dawn, Tyl and Makoros walk off and Helina drags Aron away as he, not taking the hint, protests the whole way. Durrane watches them leave and then follows Chase with a sympathetic look.

DURRANE: So, Chase is it?

Chase stops, turning back to Durrane.

CHASE: Yeah, that’s right.
DURRANE: Mind telling me what happened?
CHASE: I guess.

They sit there for a while, Chase staring down, until Durrane gives him a look.

DURRANE: So?

Chase sighs deeply before replying.

CHASE: Right, well… it’s my dad.
DURRANE: What about him?
CHASE: Well, he was worried about me... so I had to show him the morphing thing, but… He wasn’t surprised, he was… scared. And when I wouldn’t give him the Velocity Morpher… he kicked me out.

Durrane seems genuinely concerned.

DURRANE: Hold on… what’s your father’s name?
CHASE: Coop… Cooper-
DURRANE: Cooper Harper?
CHASE: Wait a minute... how did you know that?
DURRANE: Never mind, just- just leave this to me. Ok?
CHASE: Ok.

Durrane walks off, leaving Chase more confused than depressed. Durrane pulls out a tattered picture from his belt that has four names written on the back, plus a date. As he stares at it, A determined look appears on his face. Aron comes back with Helina chasing after him. When he sees Chase, he rushes up to him.

ARON: Dude! This is awesome, you aren’t going to believe what we get! And, dude, I’m telling you, man, they are sweet!
CHASE: Um… Aron, the way you’re freaking out right now, I’m almost scared to ask, but… what are you talking about.
HELINA: No, Aron! It’s a surprise!
ARON: So I can’t-
HELINA: No.
ARON: Not even-
HELINA: No! And if you do I swear I’ll make you regret it!
ARON: Oh, you will, will you? Wait a minute, isn’t the thing you showed me-
HELINA: Hey! Shut up, Aron!
ARON: Fine! Jeez.

Suddenly, someone runs out of the trees nearby and starts calling for help.

RESISTANCE FIGHTER: In there, it’s back there! Would someone hurry up! I need help!

The Red, Blue and Yellow Rangers get serious looks and run for the area the man came from. Tyl and Makoros share looks of amusement and watch them go.

CHASE: Don’t worry, we’ll get them!
ARON: Yeah, right behind you.
DAWN: Just stay here!
MAKOROS: Should we… shouldn’t we say something?
TYL: No, no hold on. I want to see this. Come on.

Tyl & Makoros follow at their leisure.

EXT- LAKE MITCHELL, CLEARING- DAY

The Rangers burst into a clearing to see a gigantic pile of trash. Confused, they start searching around to discover the robots. Tyl, Makoros and some others file in after them, just staring.

CHASE: Whoa, whoa, whoa. I don’t see anything.
ARON: All right, where are you, you filthy robotic cowards.
DAWN: Guys.
CHASE & ARON: Shhh!

Dawn sees the amused looks on the others' faces & realizes what's going on.

DAWN: Guys, there are no robots! He was talking about the giant pile of trash!
CHASE & ARON: Oh.

They all turn to Tyl and Makoros, who are laughing hysterically. Durrane walks up.

DURRANE: Oh, I’m so glad you three have decided to help us out here. After seeing so much death and destruction in our world… I couldn’t take this place the way it was. I’ve ordered my men to start cleaning it up.
ARON: Hate to break it to you… but, it’s going to take you… a while.
HELINA: Well then, three more will get it done that much faster.

She hands them shovels. They stand there a few minutes before they decide to begin, but as they prepare to get into it, Chase suddenly stops as he sees a green flash in the distance.

CHASE: I got a bad feeling about something… come on, guys!
ARON: Sorry, gotta go.
DAWN: Yeah, we’ll do this later. Promise. Tyl, Mackey? Come on, the portal was glowing!

The main three run off, followed by Tyl and Makoros a few steps behind.

EXT- HAWK VALLEY, CITY PLAZA- DAY

Muflor and Piper are with a small group of Electrones, terrorizing a plaza. In slo-mo, everyone is running for cover as the Gaiarc march through the area, laughing and shooting off lasers randomly. Muflor begins counting down from five. When he makes it to zero, the whole group of Gaiarc teleports away. Two seconds later, the Rangers arrive, confused, as they see the damage, but no Gaiarc. They split up and begin calming everyone down. Dawn helps a man up.

DAWN: Here, take my hand! Are you ok?
CITIZEN 1: Yeah. I’m fine, thanks. What were those things?

Dawn puts up a finger for him to hold on, then yells for the others.

DAWN: Guys! This guy saw something!

The other Rangers gather around as Dawn turns back to the disoriented stranger.

DAWN: Ok, what happened here?
CITIZEN 1: Well, one minute I was sitting outside of Malcom’s drinking a latte… the next a bunch of weird robot things appeared and started shooting the place up... I’m not going crazy, am I?
DAWN: No. No your not.

Dawn looks to the others, concerned, and takes off towards an alley nearby.

EXT- CITY PLAZA, ALLEY- DAY

The others follow Dawn into the alley. On her lead, they hit buttons on their morphers to demorph their helmets, leaving only the suit.

DAWN: Sounds like Gaiarc to me.
TYL: Yeah, but where’d they go?
MAKOROS: It’s not like them to just run when it gets dangerous… It‘s just against their programming.
DAWN: Well, from what you’ve said and what I’ve seen, they have to-
CHASE: They have to be working on a bigger plan. Shut up Aron, let me think.
ARON: But- I didn’t even say anything… yet!

EXT- HAWK VALLEY, CITY PLAZA- DAY

Josh Levine shows up and, after looking in awe at the result of the attack, notices his friends in the alley.

JOSH: Hey! Hey, guys! Yo, over here!

He runs into the alley after them. They begin trying to shush him & stop him from drawing attention to them.

EXT- CITY PLAZA, ALLEY- DAY

JOSH: Where have you guys been? Holy- You guys- you’re like… Power Rangers now or something!
TYL: Ok, I don’t know who you are, but, guys, we’d better demorph before anyone else comes running into the alley.

They all solemnly agree and fully demorph by 1, 2, and 3 hitting the morphing button and 4 and 5 hitting the button opposite of the weapon calling button. All five then quickly extract the Androjinn from the morphers and hide them as a crowd of curious people starts building up around the alley. The Rangers are at a loss, but Aron quickly thinks of something, addressing his friends.

ARON: Hey, guys, did you see those Rangers? They were awesome, right?

The others are innitially confused, but quickly catch on.

DAWN: Oh, right! Those Rangers!
MAKOROS: I completely agree with you, Aron, they were awesome.
TYL: Yes, those amazing Rangers-

Tyl points behind him, down the alley.

TYL (cont.): -who went straight that way and took a hard left onto… um-
CHASE: Uh, Fuller Street. Heading for the park.

As they all agree with each other next to a confused and devastated Josh, the crowd quickly files down the alley and take off to try and see the Power Rangers. The group watch them go then turn back to each other.

JOSH: What… What was that about?
TYL: That was something along the lines of keeping our identities a secret so we aren’t marauded by fans, easy to find and ambush or putting the half of the city that starts following us around in mortal danger.
JOSH: Oh… sorry?
ARON: Aw, it’s fine, man, danger passed.
DAWN: Besides, Josh, you just did the unthinkable! Made Aron useful for once!
ARON: Hey!
MAKOROS: Uh, this is great and all but, uh… who are you?
CHASE: Makoros, Tyl. Uh, this is my other best friend- Josh Levine. Josh, this is Tyl in the green and Makoros in the black. They are interdimensional freedom fighters who just arrived on Earth… because we’re being attacked by robots now.

Chase adds the last bit under his breath.

JOSH: What? That’s crazy, that’s-

Josh looks around at their serious faces, slowly coming out of his denial.

JOSH: That’s the truth isn’t it?
ALL RNGRS: Yeah!
JOSH: Well… Schwartzeneger-style robots would do it, then.
CHASE: Sorry. I swear we’ll tell you everything later, but we’re really busy right now.

Chase walks off and the others follow. Josh watches them leave in confusion.

JOSH: Well, uh… I guess I’ll catch you guys up later, then!

Josh goes in the same direction of the crowd. The rangers look to Chase.

MAKOROS: Great friend you got. I like him.
DAWN: And I don’t care what happened to you, Chase, but you didn’t have to treat him like that.
ARON: Yeah, I mean, I wouldn’t even treat Josh like that. And that guy, just… I don’t like him much.
DAWN: Exactly.
CHASE: I just… want to focus on our job right now.
ARON: But… he’s your… other… best-
CHASE: I said no!

The Rangers all stop, staring at him in surprise, Tyl looks back to Chase.

TYL: So, Chase, what are we going to do?
CHASE: Me? You’re asking me this?
TYL: Well... yeah.
CHASE: Um… I don’t know, head back to camp… I guess.
TYL: Ok, guys, You heard him.

The others solemnly agree and head back to their car.

EXT- PLAZA ROOFS- DAY

Muflor and Piper watch the Rangers take their leave.

PIPER: What was that about, Muflor? We could have taken them!
MUFLOR: Don’t be hasty, Haste killed Feliron.
PIPER: He was the cat-bot, right?… Wait, wasn’t it his curiosity that destroyed him?
MUFLOR: Whatever, same thing. The point is, we’ll get killed if we don’t plan this out right. We just have to wait for our scout to return.
PIPER: And my point is… WHAT ARE WE DOING!?!
MUFLOR: We are scouting them out, like Sapis commanded. As soon as our scout returns with the perfect place to engage them, we’ll scout out their strength and methods.
PIPER: And then we destroy them?
MUFLOR: Precisely, my friend. Precisely.

Muflor walks off, leaving Piper behind, unsure of what to do.

INT- COOP'S CUSTOM TRAX- DAY

Coop is absent-mindedly sorting through some spare parts, lost in his memories. He stares off into space with a determined look. When he hears a voice behind him, he jumps around to see the man standing in the garage doorway.

DURRANE: Cooper?
COOP: We’re closed today.
DURRANE: I don’t need anything fixed, Cooper… but you do.
COOP: I’m sorry. Do I know you?
DURRANE: You do now. And one thing I know is that your son needs you more than ever.

Coop becomes angry. He replies as he turns & walks away from Durrane.

COOP: Get out.
DURRANE: Not until you face reality!
COOP: The reality is that I’m angry! He disobeyed me and ran off to fight… giant robots for god sakes!
DURRANE: You think he seriously wanted to pick that over you? You never gave him a choice, Coop.
COOP: I… don’t… care, man! I’m not going to let this happen to me again!

He slammed his fist down on a fold out table holding tools. The table collapses and the tools fall to the floor. Coop closes his eyes to calm himself down and turns away. As the noise subsides, Durrane takes a few more steps forward and arcs his eyebrows.

DURRANE: Let what happen again?
COOP: It’s a long story. And I don’t even know you, man... Where is all this coming from?
DURRANE: I have all the time in the world, Cooper.
COOP: I’ve never told this story… to anyone. And I’m not ready to start with a complete stranger.
DURRANE: In that case, I’m Durrane. Commanding General, 4th Battalion, Human Resistance Corps of Gaia.

Coop looks at the man holding out his hand for a handshake like he’s a lunatic and walks right past him, wiping the grease off his hands with a towel. He heads out of the garage area into the nearby waiting room.

COOP: I don’t care what your name is. I don’t care where you’re from and I don’t care what you do with yourself… The answer is no.
DURRANE: Fine then. But that still doesn’t change the facts. Your son went through the same thing you did. Whether he wishes to do something for himself for a change has nothing to do with it!
COOP: What? How dare you even think you know about me and my son?

Durrane pauses, staring Coop in the eyes sadly.

DURRANE: I’ll let you think on it, Mr. Harper, for now. But remember… she wouldn’t have wanted this for you two.

Durrane leaves an astonished Cooper behind as he walks out. Coop walks to the back of the waiting room and takes up the picture once again. As he stares at it, his anger slowly dissipates into determination.

EXT- LAKE MITCHELL- DAY

The Rangers have returned & are being debriefed.

HELINA: So Knights, how went the battle?
ARON: Dude? Rangers.
TYL: Um, the battle didn’t go at all. When we got there, the Gaiarc were gone and there was no sign of them in the vicinity.
HELINA: Hm… That’s odd. Wait, why didn’t you look for them, they could be anywhere now!
MAKOROS: You’re telling us? I’m not the smartest guy in the world, but even I know that whatever started that attack down there is definitely up to something.
HELINA: Well... if they keep stalling like this, I should have time to finish your surprise before the actual battle.
ARON: Oh, right, you mean the-
HELINA: Shut it, Aron! I mean it!
CHASE: Sorry to interrupt, but what are you two talking about?
HELINA: You’ll see… in time. So, do you know which Gaiarc made the attack?
MAKOROS: Definitely more than one.
TYL: Yeah. From the results of the methods of attack, I’m assuming one was a Sky Class and the other was a Sea Class. And I’m not entirely sure, but from the level of damage, I’m assuming the Sea Class Gaiarc may have been Piper. The Sky Class couldn’t have been any more powerful than Piper, which isn’t saying much, but definitely doesn’t narrow it down.
HELINA: Unfortunately. Could have been at least four in the proximity to Piper’s ability in the Sky Class.
DAWN: Hold on, what’s all this Sky Class, Sea Class stuff?
HELINA: Well, the Gaiarc Officers are all unique and vastly superior to the Electrones, but seem to all be able to be divided into four classes, depending on what they’re designed to lay waste to. Sky Class Gaiarc pollute the air, and-
DAWN: The Sea Class pollutes water?
HELINA: Right. And there’s also Ground Class, like Spadron, which pollute the earth and destroy anything growing in it and Battle Class which are usually the most powerful because they’re built for only one purpose… to cause unrepairable damage to anything living that stands in their way. Most who are unlucky enough to go up against a Battle Class Gaiarc... don’t come back.
ARON: Then why doesn’t Sapis just send those all the time?
TYL: She tried that in the past, but we were, thankfully, even able to stop one of those. She doesn’t want to waste them all because it takes significantly longer to create new Battle Class warriors, so it kind of makes Battle Class the only indispensable group of robots in Gaia Sapis’ eyes… or Optical Circuitry. Whatever it is.
ARON: Right…
DAWN: Ok, I get it. So… how is my lamp?
HELINA: Oh, it’s coming along. Don’t worry. Chase, do you know where General Durrane went?
CHASE: Probably to yell at my dad, or something- I don’t know. Uh… hey, if it’s all fine with you, I’m going to take a walk.
HELINA: Sure, we’ll send someone-
CHASE: Um- alone.

Helina pauses, but seems to understand.

HELINA (cont.): -If we need you. Don’t worry, Chase, I know this is difficult. Just… try to come out of depression really fast, though.
CHASE: …I don’t know what the chances of that happening are- but ok.

Chase leaves while the others look on.

DAWN: Shouldn’t we… you know, do something?
HELINA: Not at this stage, no. He might be a little unpredictable, now, and he needs time to heal. Besides. Now you four can help with the garbage- like you promised to earlier.

They all look uncomfortable and begin trying to come up with an excuse.

HELINA: Hey, if you guys are going to be superheroes, you need to learn your responsibilities.

Dawn sighs irritatedly.

DAWN: She’s right, guys. Come on, Aron.

She grabs him by the arm and drags him off while he protests. Tyl and Makoros follow solemnly.

EXT- HAWK VALLEY OUTSKIRTS, PARK RD.- DAY

As Chase is walking through the city, thinking about what his dad said, among other things, something is stalking him in the shadows along the road through the outskirts of town. There are others on the opposite side of the road as well. As Chase hears a whirring noise, he looks up to see the road ahead blocked by Electrones. Chase’s guard is already up when he hears Muflor and Piper close in from behind and turns to counter them.

MUFLOR: Having a rough day, Ranger?
CHASE: I guess it’s not getting any easier, then.
PIPER: You got that one right! Prepare for battle!
CHASE: Ooh. That is the worst idea I’ve ever heard come out of a robot’s mouth.

Muflor and Piper exchange looks.

MUFLOR: We don’t have mouths.
CHASE: Whatever- Androjinn, Accele-lightning!

Chase morphs into the Red Ranger with a flash of lightning from the sky. We see him holding his Velocity Cutter at the ready when the smoke clears and hear the whirring of the Electrones preparing for battle behind him.

MUFLOR & PIPER: Get him!

The Electrones run into battle, some of them firing lasers at Chase. He spins around to face them, blocks some of the lasers and begins battling the Electrones. Some of the stray blasts explode around Muflor and Piper, who yell in protest. They back off momentarily as Chase continues fighting.

PIPER: What are we gonna do next, Muflor, huh?
MUFLOR: Don’t worry. I’ve got a plan. Cicadas! Attack when ready!

As Chase fights valiantly against the Electrones, he suddenly hears a loud accelerating noise from behind. He turns quickly to see what it is and lets out an exclamation at what he sees: Four giant robotic gunships flying his way with some others, on two legs, hopping and flying toward him. They begin firing on him and he dodges and flips around the Electrones, trying to avoid the blasts. Unfortunately, one blast eventually comes too close and sends him flying off to the side of the road.

CHASE (thought): ’This is impossible… but, if I can get away from those ships…’

He suddenly jumps up and runs off into the woods opposite of where Muflor and Piper are. They jump up and chase him, as well as the robots.

MUFLOR: Stop him!
PIPER: Don’t let him get away!

Chase pulls out his morpher and dials a number in. We hear a ring tone and Dawn’s voice answering.

DAWN: Hello?
CHASE: Oh! Thank god our phone numbers still work!
DAWN: Where are you? And what’s that noise?
CHASE: Well, if you take a look to your left, you’ll see close to a dozen giant war ships trying to obliterate me about halfway down the mountain!
DAWN: …Oh my god! Don’t worry, Chase, we’re coming, just hang in till then!
CHASE: Easier said than done, Dawn!

Chase hangs up and keeps running.

EXT- LAKE MITCHELL- DAY

Back at the mountain, Dawn begins running back to the car. The others follow.

TYL: Dawn, what’s wrong, was that Chase?
DAWN: Yes, he’s already down there! The robots ambushed him!
MAKOROS: Ok, we’re coming with!

Near the car, Helina stops them.

HELINA: Wait, guys. Wait!
ARON: Uh, kind of busy right now!
HELINA: If you go down there like that, you’ll probably all be killed.
TYL: Nice tip.
MAKOROS: Yeah. Thanks for rooting for us there, Sergeant.
HELINA: No, I mean- I can help!
DAWN: How? You‘re not a Ranger.
ARON: Wait a minute… Does this mean that we get our-
HELINA: Yes, Aron! I finally got them done, guys.
DAWN: Got what done?

EXT- HAWK VALLEY PARK- DAY

Chase has made it into the woods and is still running, trying to buy time until the others arrive. Suddenly, he comes to a dead end: A cliff. He turns around to find himself surrounded and to see that the Cicadas all have an easy shot at him now through the thin tree line. There’s also, now, another one, designed to look like a praying mantis. He sees Muflor and Piper riding on it as they shout out to him.

MUFLOR: End of the line, Ranger!
CHASE: Yeah, at the hands of your little friends! But you two just stay up there if your scared to face me yourselves!
PIPER: Don’t worry, they’ll only capture you! We’ll kill you ourselves!
CHASE: Whatever makes you feel better!
MUFLOR: Enough of this! Attack!

Chase braces for attack as the Electrones pour into the clearing around him. At the last moment, however, powerful blue and black blasts knock the Electrones back. The other Rangers run into the clearing, each with powerful new weapons. The yellow ranger shows up first and tosses Chase a large red sword. She herself carries a small gauntlet with a strange little car locked into it. Blue has a huge cannon.

MAKOROS: Lightning Sniper, full power!
TYL: Lightning Cleaver, full power!
DAWN: Lightning Charger, full power!
ARON: Lightning Launcher, full power!
CHASE: Thanks guys. Lightning Traveler, full power!

The Rangers ready themselves for the regrouped Electrones who are closing in.

ALL RNGRS: Power Rangers, Accele-lightning!

The two sides meet and the battle officially begins. We see each Ranger fight with their new special weapon.

EXT- HAWK VALLEY, RIVERSIDE AREA- DAY

Now we see Coop, also taking a walk as he struggles with what has happened. he has an imaginary talk with someone in his head.

WOMAN: You can’t do this to him, he’s your son!
COOP: No… I can’t watch him die just like-

Coop falters, unable to say anything else. The woman puts a hand on his shoulder.

WOMAN: You don’t know that that’ll happen. He’s the only one of us you have left, Cooper. Don’t push him away.
COOP: I still love you, Rachel. Why does this stuff always happen to us? First you leave us. Then everything else… now this. Why?
RACHEL: Sometimes… you just have to let things go and hope that there’s a better reason behind it. Chase is trying to save the world… he’s not trying to break your heart.

Back in reality, Coop stops at a surveillance deck by the river and looks out at the setting sun, thinking about what he should do.

COOP: I know… you wouldn’t want this to happen. The family’s dysfunctional enough.

Coop turns around and begins running back home.

EXT- HAWK VALLEY OUTSKIRTS, PARK- DAY

Each Ranger is trying a new attack.
ANIMATION: A pair of color coded checker flags fly across the screen. When they’re gone, we see color coded fire obscuring our view. Each ranger rushes or jumps out from the fire and begins a rapid attack with their Lightning Weapons.
The Rangers pose as all the Electrones create a massive implosion behind them. Before the Rangers can claim their victory, however, more Electrones run in to take the others’ place. Also, some of the Cicada Attack Ships get into position and begin firing on the Rangers. They all yell out and dive for cover. As they struggle to get up, we see Green and Blue surrounded by Electrones. They try to fight their way out, but aren’t successful. Black has also become separated from the others and Red and Yellow are hiding behind some rocks nearby. An Electrone makes the top of the rocks and sees them, but before it can call for help, Chase shoots it with his Velocity Nozzle.

CHASE: What are we going to do? Dawn, you’re the smart one, please tell me you have a plan!
DAWN: And you’re supposed to be the leader, why don’t you tell me?
CHASE: Because I’m not a leader!

Chase eyes Dawn, heaving his breath angrily. We see, in slo-mo, Aron calling out for help as he looses his Lightning Launcher and goes down. Black jumps in to save him and becomes slightly overwhelmed. We also see Green struggling valiantly, but in vain. We go back to Dawn and Chase. Chase deactivates him helmet and we see his pained expression. Dawn finally caves as we hear everyone screaming for help in the background.

DAWN: Ok. I think there’s only one thing we can do for now. Follow me!

Chase and Dawn run out, both with their Lightning Weapons and Velocity Cutters. They run toward Aron in slo-mo, Chase swinging his weapons around, destroying anything that gets too close and Dawn backing him up with her Cutter and using her famous karate moves to annihilate the Electrones. She also holds one Electrone at bay while she flips around to throw it off and shoots her Lightning Charger off into the crowd in mid-flip. It takes out two, sends two more spinning off from the force to be accidentally hit by their teammate's blasts and knocks another flying into the crowd, taking out several more. They finally make it to Aron and Makoros, saving them from the brunt of the attack on them.

CHASE: We‘ll handle these guys, Mackey! Go help your brother!
MAKOROS: Thanks man.
CHASE: Just go!

Makoros runs off into the crowd while Chase and Dawn keep fighting. Aron retrieves his Lightning Launcher and re-enters the fight.

ARON: Out of the way, guys! Lightning Launcher, fire!

Chase and Dawn fall back to either side of Aron as he rushes forward and fires his weapon.

CHASE: So, what’s your great plan, Dawn?
DAWN: The way I see it, we need to take out those attack ships!
ARON: I’m in if you can figure out how we’d go about doing that!

Dawn remembers seeing Tyl and Makoros combine their weapons.

DAWN: Got it! Guys, hold them off, just a tick, would ya?
CHASE: Yeah! Sure, fine!
ARON: And where are you going?
DAWN: Just do it! I think I’ve got something!

Dawn calls Helina back at camp and we see her run over to a makeshift computer and type up something before responding.

DAWN: Helina? Sergeant? Helina!

INT- LAKE MITCHELL, CAMP, HELINA'S TENT- DAY

HELINA: I’m right here, Dawn, what is it?
DAWN: You didn‘t happen to build our weapons to combine, now did you?
HELINA: Yeah, actually, it’s called the Flagger Cannon. Um… I’m scrambling the blueprints to you now.

Helina hit’s a series of buttons on her computer. We see the inside of Dawn’s visor light up with a column of information on the right and the blueprints of the Lightning Traveler, Launcher and Charger line up and then spin around to show how they combine, ending up with the Flagger Cannon. Dawn runs back to the others.

DAWN: Guys, I’ve got it! Follow my lead, we’re breaking out the Flagger Cannon!
ARON: The what?
DAWN: Shut up Aron!

Dawn walks over and pulls the Lightning Launcher out of his hands, attaching her Lightning Charger into a deep slot on top.

CHASE: What do I do?
DAWN: Just attach the Lightning Traveler into the space in front.

She holds the weapons out for him to do so, then gives it to him. Dawn and Aron go to either side to help stabilize it before Chase fires.

CHASE: All right! Flagger Cannon-
ALL THREE: Fire!

Chase pulls the trigger and nothing happens. The Electrones rush back into battle and they’re forced to abandon the weapon and use their Velocity Cutters/ Nozzles to fight on. While they fight, they’re occasionally distracted by laser blasts from the Cicada Flyers above.

DAWN: Why didn’t it work?
ARON: I think you might have missed something, Dawn!
DAWN: No, Aron, you think?
CHASE: Guys, would you just can it and try to figure out how to make that thing work?

They all hear a noise and look back to the fight to see a Cicada laser flying directly for them. They all brace themselves for impact, but suddenly, Makoros and Tyl jump in over the Electrones and use their Lightning Cleaver & Sniper to dissipate the blast. They run in to guard Chase, Aron and Dawn.

MAKOROS: What happened to your weapons?
DAWN: We tried combining them, but they won’t work! I’m going to try to call Helina again and figure this out!

Tyl and Makoros fire suggestions at them.

TYL: Did you remember to put the Blast Jinn in?
ALL THREE: What?
MAKOROS: Yeah, you have to put the Blast Jinn into a slot on the side in order to charge the Cannon before firing!
DAWN: That must be it!
TYL: Come on, guys, we need to get your cannon back!

They begin fighting their way back to the cannon. Meanwhile, laser blasts rain down on them from the Cicada and Mantis Flyers as they charge forward.

INT- CYBEX FORTRESS, THRONE ROOM- DAY

Gaia Sapis is sitting in her throne. She contacts Piper & Muflor on a hologram screen.

SAPIS: How is the battle going, my warriors?
MUFLOR (disembodied): Very well, your highness. We’ve blocked all five Knights into a cliff outside the city the Earth Humans call ‘Hawk Valley.’
PIPER (disembodied): It won’t be long, Mighty Gaia Sapis! If you want, you can watch your final victory yourself!
SAPIS: Excellent… Cybex?
CYBEX: I am Cybex, Interior Palace Intellect. What is it you wish, my Queen?
SAPIS: Plug into Piper’s optical sensors and display it for me. I want to see this for myself!

We see hologram screens around the throne change, depicting the battle from Piper’s viewpoint, on top of the Mantis Flyer.

EXT- HAWK VALLEY OUTSKIRTS, PARK- DAY

Back at the battle, the Rangers are finally able to beat back the Electrones and seize the cannon. While Aron holds it up, Dawn inspects it and Chase helps Tyl and Makoros hold the Electrones back.

DAWN: Ok, so… it should be right… here.

She hit’s the side of the main part of the Cannon and a panel folds out, displaying a small cartridge slot inside.

DAWN: Chase, get back here, I found it!

Chase falls back to join Aron and Dawn with the Cannon.

DAWN: Now, according to the schematics, this will only work with your Blast Jinn right now, so charge it up.
CHASE: Ok… let’s do this.

Chase pulls out a small Androjinn with a Checkered Flag design. As he focuses on it, the checkered flags seem to become animate and float away, revealing the numerical Velocitalon symbol beneath. He inserts it into the slot and the panel flicks back into position. Aron moves out of the way for Chase and takes his position, holding the cannon up across from Dawn. Chase prepares to fire.

CHASE: Ok, let’s try this again. Flagger Cannon, full power!
ALL THREE: Fire!

The energy from the Blast Jinn is diverted to the Lightning Charger, which releases it’s car to run up the Lightning Traveler like a car going up a road. It vaults off the end, gathering speed and energy and seems to take the form of the Velocitalon for a brief moment. We follow the blast up in the air until it strikes a bull’s-eye on the Mantis Flyer. Piper and Muflor yell in fright and try to evacuate the Mantis Flyer. As the Mantis goes down, however, suddenly all the Cicadas seem to lose control of where they’re going and all crash and burn.

INT- CYBEX FORTRESS, THRONE ROOM- DAY

Sapis screams angrily as all the screens go blank. We now see Optica and Tronyx nearby, also watching the fight.

OPTICA: It was a good strategy, but the Ranger’s new weapon was… unprecedented?
TRONYX: Not my Mantis! I request to destroy Piper and Muflor myself if they come back, my Gaia! I warned them what would happen if-
SAPIS: Oh, relax, General! We can make another Mantis Flyer. Besides, at this point I don’t see Piper or Muflor having a better survival rating than one in six hundred million.
OPTICA: You’re not angry, Milady?
SAPIS: Only on account of being so close, My Advisor. Besides, I was never really expecting them to win anyway; this was purely a reconnaissance mission, nothing more.

Optice bows & moves away.

OPTICA: Yes, Gaia Sapis.
TRONYX: I’ll report if I learn anything important, Milady. Right now, I’m going to rebuild the Mantis!

Tronyx storms out angrily.

SAPIS: Optica, why don’t you make some rounds as well.
OPTICA: Anything in general you wanted of me, Milady?
SAPIS: Hm… Why don’t you check on Prisoner 6254Alpha?
OPTICA: Ah, the war prisoner. Your wish is my command, Gaia.

Optica takes her leave, leaving Sapis alone in the throne room.

SAPIS: Cybex, turn this off!
CYBEX: Yes, my Queen.
SAPIS: And have one of the Electrones bring in some food. The human part of me is “starving†again. Ugh, I wish she’d just shut up!
CYBEX: Of course, Milady.

The screen goes black.

EXT- HAWK VALLEY OUTSKIRTS, PARK- DAY

The Rangers, are having a brief celebration after destroying the Cicadas.

DAWN: Yes! It worked!
TYL: All right, guys, form up! It should be a little easier fighting these guys without the Cicada Flyers shooting at us!
CHASE: All right, Green and Black, activate your Nos Launcher and cover us!
MAKOROS: Ha! Already giving orders like a real Red Ranger!
CHASE: I told you already… I’m not a leader. I’m not anything like your brother Tyl, ok?
TYL: Hey, just take your time, man. In the meantime!

Tyl and Makoros combine their weapons to form the Nos Blaster. Chase, Aron and Dawn ready their Lightning Weapons and charge into battle, slo-mo. They take out as many Electrones as possible while Tyl and Makoros charge the Nos Blaster with the Velocicurrent Androfauna and fire at the Electrones. All is going well until Chase turns around in time to see a leg pop up and kick him down. Piper and Muflor are back and have finally decided to join the battle themselves.

PIPER: You almost scrapped me! Now it’s personal, Ranger!

Piper pulls Chase onto his feet by his shoulder and slashes at him with a blade on his left arm. As the others try to save him, Muflor blocks them off and hits a button, causing him to grow. The Rangers narrowly avoid being squashed. Chase, still fighting Piper, yells to them.

CHASE: Guys! Hurry! Call the Megazord up and crush that thing!
DAWN: How are we going to do that!
ARON: We need a third pilot!
CHASE: Tyl, you want to help me tag these guys?
TYL: Bring it!
CHASE: Right then! Makoros, catch!

Chase pulls out his Androjinn and tosses it to Makoros.

MAKOROS: Aright, Yellow, Blue. Ready to do this?
DAWN & ARON: Yeah.

ANIMATION: Black, Yellow & Blue toss their Androjinn up in the air, in front of open Interdimensional portals. An Eagle, Lion & Bear jump out and swallow the Androjinn in mid-jump. Energy runs along them, transforming them into an eagle-themed racecar, a lion-themed bus and a bear-themed ATV.
These three zords combine into the Fauna Soul Megazord and begin fighting Muflor.

PIPER: Are you two ready yet? Hurry up, it’s only a matter of time until I crush you!
CHASE: Alright, Tyl. You take the Electrones and I’ll-
TYL: No.
CHASE: What, first I’m the leader when I don’t want to be and then when I start giving orders, you won’t even follow them?
TYL: It’s not like that, man. Now that I’ve seen these two close up, I remember him a little more clearly now. Piper and I have a few things we’d like to settle.

Tyl brandishes his Lightning Cleaver. As Chase gives him the ok and turns to face the remaining Electrones.

INT- COOP'S CUSTOM TRAX- DAY

Coop seems to be searching through boxes, looking for something. He eventually finds a piece of paper and chuckles in victory as he runs over to the design computer and punches something in. Blueprints for a pair of altered motorcycles appears on the screen, both black. One has red streamlining while the other has green. He consults the paper and types in a few more things and we see a secret panel in the garage lift up to reveal the motorcycles. Both have the appearance that the person building them just decided to quit one day. He types something else in and the bikes activate, causing Coop to give another laugh of triumph.

COOP: Don’t worry, kid. Help’s on the way.

Both motorcycles suddenly begin rolling slowly out of their hiding place and drive up the ramp, to the outside. Once on the road, they begin to pick up speed and zoom off.

EXT- MEGAZORD BATTLE- DAY

The battle continues as Muflor sprays the Megazord with smog. The Rangers inside panic momentarily, but then Makoros suddenly thinks of something.

INT- MEGAZORD- DAY

MAKOROS: Wait a minute… Oh yeah! I almost forgot about that!

Makoros appears to type something into the control panel and a computerized overlay appears on all the cockpit windshields. The computer adds more and more detail until they’re able to see perfectly, even in the smog. That’s when they see Muflor rushing them.

DAWN: Activating AF3 Shield!

The Megazord quickly activates and raises it’s shield, causing Muflor to smack into it, causing some damage.

ARON: Slice and dice time!
DAWN: That wasn’t funny.
MAKOROS: Yeah, that was… pretty lame.

Aron becomes a little indignant.

ARON: Whatever. Activating AF2 Saber… I think.

Aron stares at his control panel, seeming to do an eeni-meeni-myni-mo with the buttons.

DAWN: It’s the one on the left, you idiot!
ARON: Alright! And I was going to pick that one too.
MAKOROS: Dude, just activate the friggin’ sword!

The Megazord calls out and activates it’s Sword, slashing down at Muflor, who had apparently spent the whole argument rolling back and forth nursing it’s nose. He looks up to see the sword coming for him and yells out in panic before he’s further damaged by it.

EXT- HAWK VALLEY OUTSKIRTS, PARK- DAY

On the ground, Chase is kicking robotic ass while Tyl is weaving his axe around trying to hit Piper. Piper is quickly loosing ground. Eventually, Piper ends up in the shallows of a pond and laughs to himself in triumph. Tyl pauses, his Cleaver raised above his head.

TYL: Well, Piper, nowhere else to run, then? Any last words?
PIPER: Well, I guess you‘ve won yet again, Ranger. Unfortunately, I have to go!

Before Tyl can do anything else, Piper liquidizes himself and drops away into the pond. As Chase continues fighting the Electrone, he’s still beginning to be overwhelmed.

CHASE: Oh, hey, Tyl, since you’re not doing anything right now, COULD YOU HELP ME?!?

Suddenly, the bikes arrive. Sliding to a halt, they smash a path through the Electrones before stopping near Chase. Tyl vaults over the Electrones, slashing at them as well. Tyl and Chase momentarily throw the Electrones off and quickly check out the bikes.

TYL: Hey, where did these things come from?
CHASE: I don’t know, but they look really familiar…

FLASHBACK: Chase comes down to the basement of his house and seeing both his mother and father working on the bikes together.

CHASE: Wait a minute, I do remember! These things are an old project my Dad used to work on!
TYL: What are they?
CHASE: He wanted to sell the idea to the military, but never finished them! Their Stealth Attack Bikes! One flies and the other dives underwater!
TYL: Go… your dad, then! I call Green-
CHASE: Red!

They mount the bikes and ride off into battle with the Electrones yet again, using the less bulky Velocity Nozzles/ Cutters. (one uses the Nozzle and the other, the Cutter.) Piper head rises up out of the water to see what’s going on. Seeing the Rangers on the bikes obviously frightens him and he descends back into the water.

INT- MEGAZORD- DAY

The Rangers quickly observe Chase and Tyl’s bikes.

MAKOROS: Hey, looks like they got some help, then!
DAWN: Whoa! That-is-awesome!
ARON: No fair! I want one!
MAKOROS & DAWN: Shut up, Aron!
ALL THREE: Drag Cutter, full power!

EXT- MEGAZORD- DAY

Muflor is a ways away from the Megazord and is moaning in pain and stumbling around blindly.
ANIMATION: The Megazord raises it’s Sword up to it’s shoulder and charges forward, pushing itself off of the ground. It flies across complete darkness until it meets Muflor and Slashes him savagely.
The Megazord halts in a kneeling position while Muflor explodes in the background.

EXT- HAWK VALLEY OUTSKIRTS, PARK- DAY

Chase and Tyl meet up again and ride alongside each other.

TYL: Hey, mine’s the diving bike, right?
CHASE: Yeah. Why?
TYL: Now that we have these things, you think you can handle these guys? I want to go after Piper again!
CHASE: Sure, go ahead!

Tyl turns away from Chase, driving off of a small ledge and vaulting towards the pond.

TYL: Activating Mode 2!

ANIMATION: The front wheel of the bike collapses inward and the front mount and two panels on the sides close over it. The back part of the bike shoots outward and the wheel turns sideways, becoming some sort of propellant device. The back part then slides back into it’s original place, locking the back wheel in position.
Chase also decides to activate mode two.
ANIMATION: The Red bike vaults into the air and a pair of wings fold out of either side. On either side of the back wheel, two thrusters fold out and activates, causing the bike to soar forward.
Chase changes from using the Velocity Cutter to the Nozzle and begins firing down on the Electrones. The Electrones are momentarily surprised and confused but begin aimlessly firing upward, hoping to hit the bike and it’s rider.
In the pond, Tyl is able to find Piper and swerves around to a halt by him, activating his Velocity Cutter. And slashing from behind. Piper looses his balance and slowly flips over. He activates one of his weapons, a long rope-like hose extending from one arm, and wraps up Tyl’s bike. Tyl flips off the bike, puts his Cutter away and reactivates his Lightning Cleaver, slashing the hose apart. He then turns to look up and slashes Piper again. Piper flies out of the water and lands on a path by the shore as Makoros shows up with his Lightning Sniper. Tyl flies out of the water, transforming his bike back to Mode one and leaving it behind as he rejoins the battle.

TYL: Like I said. Nowhere left to run, Piper.

Aron and Dawn rejoin the battle with the Electrones as Chase blasts many from above.
Tyl and Makoros combine their weapons.

TYL & MAKOROS: Nos Launcher!
MAKOROS: AF5 power!

They load in the Velocicanine Androfauna and fire, taking out Piper who screams as he implodes. We see The others taking on the Electrones. As soon as Piper is destroyed the Electrones seem to regroup. One of them punches something into wrist-held device and a portal opens, taking the remaining Electrones home, and then closes. The Rangers rush to stop them, but are unable to reach it in time. Tyl and Makoros regroup with Aron and Dawn as Chase zooms out of the sky and reverts the bike to mode one, rejoining the others. Everyone demorphs.

ARON: What the heck was that? I thought the portal was across town!
TYL: No. That’s only where the portals opens up when accessed from the Gaia end.
DAWN: Portals?

Durrane radios them through the morphers. Dawn holds her morpher out and hit’s a button, apparently putting it on speaker-phone.

DURRANE: Good job, Rangers! It seems you passed your first test! Oh, and if you don’t mind, I’d like you all to come back up to the lake for a moment.

Everyone agrees and Dawn hangs up. They all begin walking back to the road and the car while Tyl pushes the bike along with him, but Chase holds back.

CHASE: Um, guys?

They all turn back to him.

ARON: Aren’t you coming, Chase?
CHASE: That’s… what I wanted to say. You guys go on without me. I’ve got something I need to do first.
NARRATOR (CHASE): We survived our first real test of survival. And we couldn’t have done it without dad. But that was when I realized that I had an even bigger battle to face. I had to confront him again.

Everyone gives consent and continue as Chase jumps back on his bike and rides off in the opposite direction.

EXT- LAKE MITCHELL- DAY

As they arrive back at Lake Mitchell by jeep, we see Dawn talking with Tyl.

DAWN: I just wanted to know, but what did you mean by portals? I thought there was just the one.
TYL: Oh! Sorry, I didn’t explain that one yet. There isn’t just one continuous portal to Earth, they only activate the device briefly to teleport back and forth.
MAKOROS: Yeah. And since we don’t have access to the portal device, our Androfauna are stuck in Gaia, leaving us practically useless.
DAWN: Awww, you aren’t useless, Mackey!
MAKOROS: Um… thanks?

The jeep pulls to a halt. Durrane and Helina approach.

DURRANE: Well, once again, good job, Rangers.
ARON: Thanks, man.
DAWN: Yeah. Don’t mention it.
HELINA: And on that note…

Helina pulls out the perfectly repaired lamp brought there earlier and returns it to Dawn.

DAWN: Mom’s lamp! And it’s practically seamless, too! Oh, thanks, guys!
HELINA: Hey, anything for the Power Rangers.
DURRANE: And also, now that we have the chance, there’s a lot that I wish to tell you two and Chase. Speaking of Chase, though, where is he?
DAWN: Oh, he said he had to take care of something and took off.

Durrane smiles & nods knowingly.

DURRANE: I understand. Well then, you two. Follow me.

EXT- COOP'S CUSTOM TRAX- DAY

Chase, on the bike, drives up to his house. He gets off around the corner of the garage and walks in. Coop is there waiting for him.

INT- COOP'S CUSTOM TRAX- DAY

COOPER: So you got my message then?
CHASE: Yeah. Your way of saying you’re sorry?
COOPER: Yeah. You can come back if you want to. Invite your friends too. All of them, even that Durrane guy you sent out here.
CHASE: I understand. I accept your apology… but the ship’s kind of sailed by now. I don’t know if I can… ever forgive you.
COOPER: I don’t blame you. I know you want our family back more than anything and… I took your only connection away from you.
CHASE: Yeah well… when I said I accept your apology… I meant I’ll try.

Chase walks right past him and upstairs, leaving Coop behind. Coop stands, walking into the waiting area. He walks over to the picture and stares at it again.

COOPER: I am so sorry… What have I done?

He collapses on the couch, crying.

Fade to black.

EPISODE 4-
>>>HERO OUT OF A FOOL<<<

EXT- HAWK VALLEY- STREETS- DAY

The Rangers are fighting a force of Electrones. Makoros uses his quick reflexes while firing his Lightning Sniper. Dawn uses karate moves to evade them and take them out when they least expect it. Tyl uses the Velocity Cutter with his aerodynamic abilities, flying through them & slashing at will. Chase is using his Lightning Traveler and seems to be taking out his anger on them. Aron is ducking and covering, using his Velocity Nozzle to take out key Electrones. He suddenly shifts it to Cutter mode for closer combat. When an Electrone tries to hit him with its blade, he counters it, grabs its arm & flips him around into a new position, bent forward, under Aron's arm. Aron sees a button under its neck & becomes curious.

ARON:
Huh. Wonder what this does?

Out of an adrenaline rush from the battle, he hit’s the button too hard and almost immediately jumps back with a yell when the robot short circuits, sending up a shower of sparks and collapsing. Makoros fights his way over to Aron & helps him up. The two begin fighting back to back while having a conversation.

MAKOROS:
Whoa! Man, what did you do?

Aron is a little rattled & annoyed at the situation, responding angrily as he turns back to face Makoros.

ARON:
What, you didn’t see me hit the button before the thing blew up in my face?

MAKOROS:
I saw it… but the button you hit was just his manual override!

ARON:
What! Oh, you have got to be kidding me!... Hold on a sec- you've got one on you.

A luckier Electrone comes close to landing a blow on Makoros. Aron twists past Makoros and throws his hand up, creating a shockwave of blue energy that sends the Electrone flying and does internal damage. Makoros, bewildered, does a double-take. He deactivates his visor momentarily, staring at Aron.

MAKOROS:
Uh… Thanks.

ARON:
Don’t mention it- put your visor back up- keep fighting.

Makoros' eyes shift left & right a couple of times & he clears his throat.

MAKOROS:
...Right.

Makoros complies, spinning around as he simultaneously activates his Velocity Cutter, taking out another Electrone behind him. A more advanced robot jumps out to attack Chase, seeming to be a leader of some sort. It’s a robot designed after a shop-vac vacuum cleaner. Its voice sounds like it’s sucking in air with every syllable. Chase is knocked off his feet, loosing his weapon which goes flying off into the crowd. He rolls back to his feet and turns to face the Vacuum Robot. The Electrones instinctively back off from both of them, turning to face the other Rangers instead.

SUKKAR:
Are you sure you’re ready to mess with me this time, Ranger?

CHASE:
You again? For Christ sakes, this is, like, the third time this week that you’ve attacked the city! Don’t you ever get bored?

SUKKAR:
Hah! Anything that causes mass hysteria and mutilation is great by me! And you’re the one going down this round, cause I assure you- I will suck you up!

Chase pulls out his Velocity Cutter and takes a battle stance.

CHASE:
Oh, how flattering. So, you ready?

SUKKAR:
I was programmed ready!

CHASE:
Huh, good point.

The two run into battle, and take powerful slashes at each other as they rush past, both appear injured, but suck it up and spin around to continue fighting. After a bit of sparring with their weapons, Chase sees an opening and slashes Sukkar hard enough to send him off balance and flying back. Just then, we hear a noise, almost like a pager. Chase places a finger to the side of his helmet and activates a radio of some sort, speaking to the person on the other end. We hear Sgt. Helina's voice.

CHASE:
What do you got for me, Lieutenant?

HELINA (OS):
It’s done.

CHASE:
It’s done?

HELINA (OS):
Yup, it’s done.

CHASE:
All right then, send it my way! Preferably before this… vacuum cleaner thing gets up, he’s got some sort of vendetta on me now, or something.

INT- COOP'S CUSTOM TRAX- DAY

Helina, at the computer in the waiting room, types in a code. Durrane, Josh and Coop stand seriously in the background, watching her work.

HELINA:
Ok… here we go! Eagle Runner is online, heading to your coordinates now, Chase.

EXT- HAWK VALLEY, STREETS- DAY

CHASE:
Wonderful.

He hangs up & hits Sukkar as it tries to attack him again, driving it back. Just then, we hear a motorcycle in the background.

FLASHBACK:
Chase and Tyl use the Stealth Attack Cycles from the previous episode, then, safely back in Coop’s Custom Trax with Helina and Durrane. Helina is examining them.

HELINA:
I could so make these better- uh, no offense, Cooper.

COOPER:
None taken, do you have any… ideas, or what?

She looks up at him with a secretive smile on her face.

HELINA:
Oh- just a few.

End flashback.
On the battlefield, Chase sees a map indicating that the Eagle Runner is closing in on his coordinates on the inside of his visor. He breaks off the fight with Sukkar and begins maneuvering himself to meet it halfway. Sukkar gets up again and looks to see Chase getting further away.

SUKKAR:
Running away, Ranger?

CHASE:
Not exactly…

Chase suddenly back flips through the air as a red streak zooms under him. He lands on it and it grinds to a stop. We see that he’s on a red armored motorcycle complete with an Eagle figurehead, lasers, and folded wings with duel jet engines one on each side, behind the rider. There appears to be no handlebars or dashboard, just a closed up space where it all should be and a small slot across the top of it.
Cut to Helina. She types something else into the computer.

HELINA:
Sending Runner Activation Chip now.

One of the slots on Chase’s belt designed to hold Androjinn glows momentarily. He opens it and pulls out a dark crimson Androjinn with a checkered flag design in the background. The foreground shows the silver Accele-lightning Symbol and a crimson chevron above it. Red takes it and slides it into the afore mentioned slot on the bike, causing a pair of handlebars to fold out. A panel opens, revealing gauges, a touch screen and a number keypad to the right.

EAGLE RUNNER:
Deactivating Autopilot. Welcome, Rider Accele 1, Red.

CHASE:
Rev it! Let’s see what you've got now, Sukkar!

Chase twists the handlebars, revving the engine. Sukkar begins backing up, holding his hands out in front of him.

SUKKAR:
Uh-oh. Uh… This can’t be good!

Chase drives after Sukkar, shooting lasers while Sukkar begins running, trying to stay out in front. He begins shouting panicked commands.

SUKKAR:
Electrones! All of you take the Red one out! NOW!

The Electrones all suddenly break off their attack on the others, much to the Rangers’ confusion, and reorganize to attack Chase on his Eagle Runner. Chase gladly accepts the challenge and types a code into the keypad. The touch screen shows blueprints for the main lasers and two buttons across the bottom, one saying ‘Fire’ and the other, ‘Deny Action.’ Chase hits ‘Fire’ and twin rows of laser generators along the sides of the figurehead begin systematically shooting the Electrones (It shoots out of top left, top right, middle left, middle right, etc.) Eventually, the Electrones are able to organize a road block to stop Chase. He types in another code and the mouth of the Eagle opens, revealing duel laser cannons. He fires them only once and the path is cleared. The Rangers regroup as Red continues to battle the Electrones. We also see Sukkar escaping. All the Rangers notice and Chase pulls up alongside them.

DAWN:
It’s ok, Chase! Go after Sukkar, we’ll take these guys out!

Chase has apparently recovered his Lightning Traveler at some point during the fight and pulls it out of a sheath over the back of the bike, tossing it to Dawn.

CHASE:
All right, then, but make it quick! I’d really hate to get shot out of the air right now!

Dawn flashes him a thumbs up and Chase takes off again. Dawn and Aron put their weapons together with Chase’s to create the Flagger Cannon and inserts the Blue Ranger’s Androjinn as a power source. Tyl and Makoros combine their own weapons to create the Nos Launcher and power it with Black’s Androjinn.
Chase drives directly for the Electrones who prepare to fight him again, but he suddenly activates Flight Mode, extending the bikes wings and firing its duel jet engines. He flies straight over their heads and, while they’re still disoriented by the move, the others fire their weapons together, destroying the Electrones.
Chase chases down Sukkar and, before he can get away, swoops down and fires all lasers at once, blowing Sukkar apart.

INT- CYBEX FORTRESS, THRONE ROOM- DAY

Sapis and her Generals are calmly watching the battle via holograms.

SAPIS:
Cybex, Activate the Titanide Fluid on Sukkar.

CYBEX:
Of course, my Empress.

EXT- HAWK VALLEY, STREETS- DAY

Something inside the Gaiarc seal that used to be on Sukkar's chest appears to have broken, spewing green slime all over the street. The Gaiarc Seal glows and the slime begins bubbling. It suddenly reaches out with tentacles, snatching the pieces of Sukkar and seeming to glue him back together. Once he’s in one piece, the slime begins expanding inside the cracks, causing the Gaiarc robot to grow to a massive size. It reactivates, calling out the Rangers.

SUKKAR:
Hah, hah, hah! Now I really can suck you up!

CHASE:
Androfauna, online!

We see the Velocitalon, Velocimane and Velocigrizzly Androfauna drive into the picture, going towards Sukkar.
Fade To Black…

ALL THREE:
Go, Fauna Soul Megazord!

SUKKAR:
Noooooooo!

We hear a distant explosion.

INT- COOP'S CUSTOM TRAX- DAY

The demorphed Rangers walk down the basement stairs into the waiting area of Coop’s Custom Trax, talking animatedly among themselves about their ordeal. As they enter the room, Durrane, Cooper, Josh and Helina rush forward to congratulate them on their victory. Josh goes immediately to Dawn.

JOSH:
Dawn, that was amazing! Good job!

Dawn shrugs absent-mindedly as she walks past, pretty much ignoring him.

DAWN:
Oh, you know, whatever.

MAKOROS:
Yeah, great job, Dawn.

Dawn turns to Makoros with a huge, excited smile on her face & twirls her hair as she answers him.

DAWN:
I know, right! Did I kick some robo-butt, or not?

Josh shoots an angry look at Makoros. He speaks under his breath.

JOSH:
Kiss up.

MAKOROS & DAWN:
What?

Josh appears to choke in surprise & coughs. Once he clears his throat, he responds.

JOSH:
No, no, it's nothing. Uh… hey, I just remembered I’ve got to pick up my dry cleaning today, so... I’m going to go do that… now.

Dawn and Makoros stare at him suspiciously as he pushes past them and heads away. Chase is stopped by his father partway across the room. The others catch a hint and carry on without him.

COOPER:
So, uh… you had another victory today, huh?

Chase sighs agitatedly & walks past his father as he responds.

CHASE:
Yeah.

Coop spins around & grabs him by his shoulder. Chase is forced to stop & turns back to him.

CHASE:
It’s… still… too early for this, dad.

He backs away as they look at each other solemnly before Chase continues after his friends, who have joined Helina in the garage. As Chase walks in, the Eagle Runner comes around the corner and drives itself back into the garage to park beside a second green motorcycle designed to look like a shark- obviously the diving bike. Everyone else is sharing excited looks at the Shark bike as Tyl sits on it, testing the weight.

TYL:
Turned out nice, this, Uhhh-

HELINA:
It’s called the Shark Runner. Designed specially with anti-radar coating, and design qualities which make it both Aerodynamic and Hydrodynamic. Plus, it has special laser plates that work perfectly underwater without the water causing noticeable particle diffusion. Oh, and you’ll need this to activate it.

She tosses Tyl an Androjinn identical to the one Chase used to activate the Eagle Runner. Tyl places the chip in the slot where the controls should be and the area separates into a pair of fin-shaped handlebars and a panel underneath opens from the top. The bottom of the panel slides upward, revealing the controls and screens on the reverse side.

SHARK RUNNER:
Welcome, Rider Accele 2, Green.

Everyone chatters excitedly as Chase tries to feel happy for the moment, but is still down from talking with his dad. Josh walks in and goes over to Chase, wrapping his arm around Chase’s shoulders.

JOSH:
Oh, come on, man! Cheer up, this is a happy moment! You won! We live another day!

CHASE:
Yeah, this is definitely a happy moment. And since I’m the leader-

When he says ‘leader,’ he does the sarcastic quotation gesture with his fingers.

CHASE (cont.):
-of the team that has to save the world from killer robots, and we can’t really count on anyone to back us up-

Everyone heard what Chase said and Aron walks up to him.

ARON:
But you- you are the leader. You’re Red remember?

Chase gives him a tired look & walks across the garage.

CHASE:
Seriously, Aron. You’re really not helping.

ARON:
I’m not here to help, Chase. I’m here because a couple of crazy interdimensional soldiers jumped me out of the middle of a fight with robots programmed to destroy humanity and virtually asked for my help-

MAKOROS:
Uh, if I remember correctly, we asked you to stay where you were and not follow us.

ARON:
Whatever, man, you needed my help-

Tyl scoffs in sarcasm, but before he or Makoros can say anything else, Dawn clamps a hand over each of there mouths and whispers to them.

DAWN:
Ah, don't even start, you won't get anywhere. There is no reasoning with him!

Tyl and Makoros back down, uncomfortable looks of annoyance & boredom on their faces.

ARON:
But, like I was saying, Chase-

CHASE:
ARON! I am not in the mood, ok! I know the world is counting on us and I know you all seem to think I’m your leader, but I’m just a normal person and I really don’t want any part of this, so why don’t you all just give it the heck up! OK?

Everyone looks on solemnly as Chase storms up the ramp, to the outside.

ARON:
I don’t… get it, what’d I say?

Everyone just looks around with wide eyes, surprised, confused & uncomfortable. Aron sighs & turns to follow Chase.

ARON:
Never mind, all- I will fix it.

The others continue with the uncomfortable silence as they watch Aron leave. Tyl finally snaps out of it.

TYL:
That's... not going to go well, is it?

DAWN:
No it is not...

Dawn, Josh, Tyl & Makoros exchange looks, then suddenly lunge after Aron & Chase.

INT- CYBEX FORTRESS, THRONE ROOM- DAY

Sapis is seething about Sukkar’s failure. Optica and Tronyx cower nearby as Sapis paces back and forth, ripping and blasting at any Electrones unlucky to end up close enough to their unhappy queen.

SAPIS:
How could Sukkar fail? This- was- foolproof!

CYBEX:
Well, my queen, it appears that the Ranger’s technology is advancing as well as their skill in battle. Your plan seems to have avoided taking that into effect, and-

SAPIS:
Now, this is one of those instances where I’m considering granting your wish to have a body- SO I CAN RIP IT APART AND BEAT YOU WITH WHAT’S LEFT OF IT!

CYBEX:
I’m sorry, my queen if I’ve displeased you in any way-

SAPIS:
Of course you displeased me; I didn’t want anyone to answer the question, it was rhetorical!

Sapis turns her anger on her generals.

SAPIS:
Optica!

OPTICA:
Mighty Gaia, Sapis?

SAPIS:
This was your plan, so you better hope your circuits can produce a better one before I pull your plug!

OPTICA:
Of course, my queen! As a matter of fact, I do have another plan!

She turns to Tronyx, still cowering behind her.

OPTICA:
Help me!

TRONYX:
Hey, leave me out of this; it’s your problem, not mine!

OPTICA:
But you’re the one who suggested Sukkar-

TRONYX:
She doesn’t need to know that-

OPTICA:
General, I-

SAPIS:
Well, Advisor Optica, I’m waiting for your brilliant plan!

OPTICA:
Yes, my plan, milady! May I suggest… we try to avoid the Rangers altogether and go after the populace alone?

SAPIS:
Right, and what’s to stop the Rangers from coming after the Gaiarc you send anyway?

OPTICA:
Uh… there’s only five of them, milady! They can’t be everywhere! It would only take a slight distraction to keep them out of the way while another Gaiarc patrol attacked the civilians!

SAPIS:
Hmmm… This might actually work. Cybex!

Cybex doesn’t answer.

SAPIS:
I said ‘Cybex!’… You can answer me now!

CYBEX:
Oh! Sorry, Milady, I assumed you were being rhetorical again.

Sapis visibly tries her hardest to hold back her temper.

SAPIS:
Remind me to blow your circuits later- And get a Gaiarc Warrior up here! Any Class, any level, just as long as they’re fighters!

CYBEX:
Would Ventor suit your interests?

SAPIS:
Sure. Why not, send him to me!

OPTICA:
But… who will be our decoy?

SAPIS:
Well, since Sukkar happened to be your idea-

Both Optica and Tronyx wince, cowering even lower.

SAPIS:
-you can go ahead and distract the Rangers, General Tronyx.

Optica seems relieved and Tronyx looks frightened.

TRONYX:
Um… of course, mistress.

SAPIS:
Right. Now where is my warrior?

Suddenly, the doors slide open. Out of the smoke comes a copper colored robot designed to look like an old-fashioned water heater. His voice is echoy, like someone talking through a long pipe. Sapis goes to sit on her throne as Tronyx goes to stand by Ventor and Optica moves back into the shadows.

VENTOR:
You called, my queen?

SAPIS:
Yes, Ventor… I’ve got a little mission for you.

EXT- HAWK VALLEY, PLAYGROUND- DAY

Slo-mo: On Earth, there is a flash of green light coming from the portal alley. Suddenly, Tronyx and Ventor walk out surrounded by Electrones. They walk through an old, abandoned park surrounded by a chain link fence, across the street. Rather than going around the fence, they begin either leaping over it or using their weapons to cut through it, all without skipping a beat. Tronyx pulls out his sword and, with a single hit, knocks the whole fence down completely, laughing maniacally with Ventor. Ventor looks straight into the camera, then lifts a tube-like arm and shoots a fountain of flame which covers the screen completely. We fade out to the robotic sounds and laughter mingled with peoples’ screams of terror.

EXT- COOP'S CUSTOM TRAX- DAY

Aron catches up with Chase.

ARON:
Hey? Hey, what was all that about?

Chase continues on, ignoring Aron. Aron races forward & spins Chase around by his shoulder.

ARON:
Dude, answer me!

CHASE:
What, Aron?

ARON:
You're telling me that you're just going to bail on everybody because you're too depressed to accept the truth?

CHASE:
Whatever.

Chase begins walking away again, but Aron runs around him & cuts him off.

ARON:
Seriously? Chase, just deal with it- ok? We need you! We need your strength & we need your leadership if we're going to-

CHASE:
You know what, Aron? This would be one of those times where you should just walk away.

Chase walks past him & continues on, leaving a bewildered & angry Aron behind. He turns to look after Chase.

ARON:
Fine- maybe I will!

Chase, not even turning back to face Aron, waves at him. Aron scoffs & begins walking in the other direction, where he runs into the others.

DAWN:
Aron, where's Chase?

ARON:
Went that way!

He points back the way he came, then continues on past them.

TYL:
...What happened? Where are you going?

ARON:
Taking a walk. That son of a... mechanic is starting to rub his depression off on me.

Dawn grabs the others & tries to herd them towards Chase.

DAWN:
Guys, come on!

ARON:
Be warned!

They each go their separate ways.

EXT- HAWK VALLEY, NATURE PARK, POND- DAY

Chase is standing on a bridge over the pond.
FLASHBACK: Chase is fishing at the same pond with his father many years earlier.
In the present, Dawn, Tyl, Makoros & Josh running to catch up with him. When they yell for him to wait up for them, he suddenly walks off, ignoring them. They run after him & finally catch him on the landscaped pathway leading from the park back into the city. Chase turns back to them swiftly, answering them in a tired voice.

CHASE:
What?

DAWN:
Chase we… we’re worried about you. What’s wrong?

CHASE:
Nothing. Just- never mind.

Chase is about to leave, but turns back around, addressing Dawn.

CHASE:
Oh, and by the way, you can have this. I’m done!

Chase shoves his Velocity Morpher into Dawn’s hand and, before she can protest, begins walking away. The others run after him, cutting him off, Josh in the lead.

JOSH:
Hey, man! I’ve known you for years, you’ve never been like this!

TYL:
Yeah, we met you two weeks ago, even Mackey & I can tell there’s something wrong.

MAKOROS:
Just talk, man. I mean, we’re supposed to be your friends & all.

Chase shoulders past them, walking as fast as he can.

DAWN:
Well, if not that, than at least come back to the shop! Ok?

CHASE:
Maybe later!

DAWN:
But, Chase-

CHASE:
Go on without me!

EXT- HAWK VALLEY, OUTSKIRTS- DAY

They step out onto the road into the city, near a bridge over a shallow creek with a ‘Welcome to Hawk Valley’ sign overhead. Dawn looks like she wants to follow him and give him a hug, but Josh holds her back with an arm.

JOSH:
Let him go, Dawn. I don’t think there’s anything else we can do other than... wait for him to cool down on his own.

Dawn doesn’t look happy about this, but goes along with him anyway, giving him a silent nod before running right into Makoros’ arms.

JOSH:
Oh, so now she can hear me- What the!

Josh turns to see Dawn & Makoros & gives Makoros a look of disbelief. Makoros looks back, at a loss as to what he should do. Tyl just looks at Josh & shrugs. As Chase crosses the bridge, He’s suddenly cut off When Tronyx steps out of thin air, into the middle of the bridge, and takes a battle stance.

TRONYX:
I guess my trap worked, then! That was a little easier than I thought!

Chase stares at him blankly.

TRONYX:
Huh, you remember me, don’t you, Red Ranger? Or did your memory files get backed up?

CHASE:
Huh… Weren’t you the one who ran away a couple weeks ago, right when it was getting good?

Tronyx appears offended.

TRONYX:
I don’t run, I made a very calculated battle decision- oh, why am I telling you this anyway? Electrones!

As the others belatedly catch notice of Tronyx on the bridge, they rush to Chase’s aid, but suddenly find themselves surrounded by Electrones, standing battle ready. The Rangers and Josh regroup into a tight fighting circle and take battle stances.

DAWN:
It doesn’t matter how many or how hard they come at us, our main objective is to get Chase and the civilian out of here, agreed?

TYL & MAKOROS:
Agreed.

JOSH:
Um… I… kinda, sorta take offense at that.

Chase is finally starting to show a little emotion- anger. He motions toward his friends.

CHASE:
Let them go.

TRONYX:
Oh, I’m sorry, did I interrupt your little group therapy session?

CHASE:
If you don‘t leave them alone, I‘m going to have an anger management session all over your metal butt.

TRONYX:
How about a little one-on-one, that is, if you’re strong enough.

CHASE:
Don’t worry about me- worry about yourself!

Chase takes a fighting stance. Each Ranger pulls out their Androjinn and activate their Morphers as well. We see through the Electrones as yellow, green & black lightning shoot out of the sky and envelope all four in smoke.
ANIMATION: We see a spinning Accele-lightning symbol spinning in darkness. A Bear flies out of it and, with a flash of energy, transforms into the Velocigrizzly Androfauna. The Velocigrizzly slams down onto an unseen surface and begins driving so fast, it turns into a flash of yellow energy. The yellow energy catches up with Dawn, who is standing in the darkness with her morpher as the energy flies into the back of it. When Dawn pumps her arm forward, the morpher lights up & a ball of yellow light floats out, igniting in yellowish fire & becoming the Velocigrizzly ‘3’ symbol. Four scanning windows come out of the flames as well and circle Dawn, spinning closer to him and faster as they go. Suddenly, they all merge in a blinding flash of light which is absorbed into the headlamps of a fully-morphed Yellow Ranger.
ANIMATION: There is a spinning Accele-lightning symbol & a wolf & shark jump out. With flashes of energy, they become the black & green Androfauna. Their eyes flash & golden lights fly out & accelerate across darkness to enter the backs of Tyl & Makoros' morphers from behind. They flick the levers on their morphers & the golden lights come out & hover in front of them. The lights separate in golden fire, becoming four golden lights in a rotating square around the stylized "4" & "5" symbols. The four gold lights around each fly off & attach to them, one on each wrist & one on each ankle. When they do so, they become the golden wrist braces & a robotic arm/ leg folds down over their real ones. Once the robotic arm/ leg overlap their own, there is a flash of light, revealing the fully morphed arms/ legs. The "4" & "5" symbols fly back as the zords drive through from behind, forming the rest of the suit, then pausing. The Androfauna transform into the helmets, then slam back onto their Rangers.
All three Rangers present pose and prepare for battle.

Chase rushes Tronyx in slo-mo, ducking under the blade and using his lightning ability to bash Tronyx hard in the stomach, driving him back a bit. Tronyx is surprised, but unphased and takes stance again. The other three rangers slowly become visible out of the smoke, which seems to have not only disoriented the Electrones, but also did the same to Josh, the only non-ranger in the group. We go around the circle & each Ranger does a callout.

DAWN:
Accele-knight 3; Yellow Grizzly Ranger!

TYL:
Accele-knight 4; Green Current Ranger!

MAKOROS:
Accele-knight 5; Black Canine Ranger!

Josh is still gagging and choking on the smoke as he tries to fend off the Electrones on his part of the circle.

JOSH:
Ahem… Good for you-

He coughs.

JOSH (cont.):
Please help!

Tyl tag-teams with Josh while Makoros works with Dawn. As they fight, Tyl activates his Velocity Cutter and tosses it to Josh, then pulls out his Lightning Cleaver. Dawn & Makoros sparingly use their Velocity Nozzles, using mainly martial arts to fight the Electrones. Chase battles Tronyx, using only his lightning ability of metallic durability and strength. Chase throws Tronyx back and spins around, taking out a pair of Electrones sneaking up behind him, before returning to face Tronyx.

TRONYX:
Hmmm… Interesting. Catch this!

Tronyx extends his outstretched hand towards Chase, firing laser blasts from it. Chase is surprised by the move and blasted back, off the bridge, into the crowd of Electrones behind him. Tronyx advances, chuckling with pleasure. Dawn sees what is happening and tries to break and run for him.

DAWN:
Chase! No!

Several Electrones tackle her, holding her back from her goal.

INT. COOP’S CUSTOM TRAX- DAY

As Helina, Coop, Durrane & a couple of resistance fighters hang around, reading, watching TV ad being confused at some rather mundane things in our world, an alarm sounds. Everyone jumps up, heading over to the main computers and turning on the camera views to see the Rangers fighting Tronyx’s force. The alarm is still going off, however, causing Coop to wince in annoyance.

COOP:
Can’t you turn that thing off?

HELINA:
Sorry. Looks like the Rangers are already en-route.

DURRANE:
Seriously, though, why is the alarm still going off?

Helina begins typing into the computer.

HELINA:
Because, more than one area in the city has had a sighting… and we haven’t addressed them all yet.

COOP:
Them all? How many do you think there are?

HELINA:
Oh! Here’s the other one. Huh, it looks like that’s it!

She pulls up another image of Ventor and his Electrones ripping apart a city center. Nearby is an Elementary School, a child looks out at the chaos and a horrified teacher shows up and pulls him back into the dark classroom. Helina, Durrane & Coop are shocked.

COOP:
Oh no. This can’t be happening.

Coop runs his hands through his hair, turning away. Durrane looks back to the reduced first video in a bottom corner.

DURRANE:
Lieutenant, do you see any Blue in that first shot?

Helina pulls up the first video again, monitoring it.

HELINA:
Um… no… Aron’s missing!

DURRANE:
Find him- now! And see if any of the others can help those civilians!

HELINA:
Oh- and here, I was just going to sit down with some popcorn.

DURRANE:
What was that?

HELINA:
I said ‘Right away, sir!’

Helina begins typing furiously on the computer.

EXT. HAWK VALLEY, STREETS- DAY

Aron is walking down the road, talking to himself in anger.

ARON:
Thick-headed moron! And they think I’m the dumb one! Oh, I’m not the leader, I just like wearing red all the time! And he just gets sooo angry about us trying to allow him to lead us- you think he’d be happy about being the leader of a team of…

Aron looks up, realizing for the first time that the streets are completely deserted.

ARON:
It is really quiet out here today… huh.

Suddenly, a call begins coming through on his Velocity Morpher. He fumbles it out of his pocket.

EXT. HAWK VALLEY, CENTER- DAY

Ventor is instructing some Electrones, who are trying to turn on a device.

VENTOR:
For the last time, the code is 44297369-TYQX15S23! Oh, never mind, I’ll do it myself!

Ventor pushes through the Electrones and quickly activates the device.

VENTOR:
There we go!

EXT. HAWK VALLEY, STREETS- DAY

Aron answers his Morpher.

ARON:
Hello?

HELINA:
Thank god! Aron, where are you?

ARON:
Helina? Uh… about a mile or so north of Coop’s, why?

HELINA:
Listen to me, there… sss… tack… hell… gers… ick…

ARON:
Helina? Yeah, you’re kind of breaking up.

HELINA:
…Uh…?

Aron begins pacing and smacking his Morpher in his hand.

ARON:
Super advanced technology my-

INT. COOP’S CUSTOM TRAX- DAY

DURRANE:
What’s wrong? Why can’t you get through?

HELINA:
There’s… some kind of signal disruptor… I’ll try to get past it, but it’ll take some time!

Coop spins around.

COOP:
And what about my son?

HELINA:
We’ll just have to hold out for now. Ahah! Got a lock on Aron’s signal!

DURRANE:
So we can talk to-

HELINA:
No… I just… traced the call- I know where he is, now. Pretty close to the second attack, actually.

DURRANE:
Well, let’s hope he figures it out. Meanwhile, what about the Runners?

HELINA:
Chase isn’t morphed, but I can send the Shark Runner en-route to help them out.

DURRANE:
Do it.

Helina types more in the computer and the Shark Runner activates, driving off.

HELINA:
Ok, it’s gone.

COOP:
Let’s hope this works.

EXT. HAWK VALLEY, OUTSKIRTS- DAY

Dawn, struggles to break free of the Electrones. Tronyx advances on Chase, saber drawn. Chase lays on the ground, eyeing Tronyx angrily. Tyl, Makoros and Josh battle valiantly to hold their own against the Electrones, but are unable to get anywhere near Chase. Tronyx arrives, raising his saber up in the air, holding it there.

CHASE:
What are you waiting for? DO IT!

TRONYX:
Oh, I will! I’m just savoring the moment!

Dawn finally has enough, she grabs ahold of some of the Electrones holding her back and unleashes her electrical lightning ability, frying them. They collapse and she throws them off, breaking through. She pulls out Chase’s morpher, putting the Androjinn in it.

DAWN:
Chase! Here!

Dawn throws Chase’s morpher, but it falls short.

DAWN:
Crap!

Dawn is quickly surrounded by Electrones again and begins fighting them. As Tronyx finally begins his downward slash, Chase looks over to see his morpher not lying far off. He rolls to the side to avoid the cut, kicking Tronyx in the back of the knee. Tronyx falls to his knees as Chase dives and rolls, retrieving his morpher.

CHASE:
Androjinn, Accele-lightning!

Red lightning pours down from the sky, enveloping Chase. When the smoke clears, he is morphed into the red ranger and has his Lightning Traveler out. Tronyx looks up, angry to see him morphed.

TRONYX:
It doesn’t matter, anyway! I’ll destroy you no matter what!

Tronyx jumps to his feet.

CHASE:
We’ll see about that!

Tronyx and Chase dive at each other through the air, their swords clashing in the center as they fall back to their feet and begin struggling to throw each other off, their swords occasionally throwing off red and white lighting blasts as they struggle.

EXT. HAWK VALLEY, ALLEY- DAY

The Shark Runner is heading to the Rangers. Suddenly, it starts beeping a warning and it skids out of control, crashing.

INT. COOP’S CUSTOM TRAX- DAY

Helina watches in horror as the bike crashes into a wall. She begins typing furiously.

HELINA:
What! No, no, no, no, no!

COMPUTER:
Invalid action, unable to find signal.

Helina slams her head down into her arms on the desk.

HELINA:
This- isn’t- happening!

COOP:
Um… what just happened?

HELINA:
The signal disrupter thing- just disoriented- the Shark Runner’s- A-I- system… now, instead of helping the Rangers… it’s halfway through a wall. I hate Gaiarc technology!

COOP:
Well… get it out! Do something!

HELINA:
I tried! As much as I hate to say it, the Rangers are on their own!

DURRANE:
No they’re not. Men!

The Human Resistance fighters turn to him, standing at attention.

DURRANE:
Prepare to move out! The Rangers are in trouble!

Coop eyes them as they prepare, then gets up.

COOP:
I’m going too.

DURRANE:
No, you’re not-

COOP:
That’s my son out there- I’m going! Any questions?

Durrane eyes him hopefully, then pulls out a laser pistol from his belt and hands it to Coop.

DURRANE:
You follow my orders out there. Got it?

Coop nods.

DURRANE:
Ok, men, move out!

EXT. HAWK VALLEY, CENTER- DAY

Aron is about to head back to Coop’s Custom Trax when he hears a woman scream. He races off through alleys after the sound and eventually turns a corner, running smack dab into a group of Electrones with a young woman cornered against a wall. They are lowering their weapons in unison to execute her as she cries and begs for mercy.

ARON:
Not on my watch!

Aron rushes them from behind, jumping in the air and kicking one with both legs, causing it to crash into the others and him to fall to the ground. He looks up, wincing in pain, at the frightened woman.

ARON:
Run. Preferably not the way you came.

The woman nods and rushes off. The Electrones regroup and the one he kicked tries to slash at him with it’s weapon. He rolls out of the way and kicks at a second one as it tries to hit him. Aron scrambles to his feet and begins fumbling in his pocket with his Morpher while attempting to keep the Electrones at bay at the same time.

ARON:
Note to self. Buy pants with wider pockets- Ahah!

Aron finally gets it out as an Electrone kicks him down and he drops it. Aron flips around and run/ crawls for the phone, grabbing it and activating it as the Electrones try to slash at him again.

ARON:
Androjinn, Accele-lightning!

With a flash of blue light and sparks, he transforms into the Blue Ranger. He kicks away four weapons at once, then flips up in the air from lying flat on the ground, landing on his feet with his Velocity Cutter out.

ARON:
Oh yeah, I’ve got one too now! Bring it!

Aron cuts through the Electrones and slams one up against the wall.

ARON:
Ok, what’re you guys doing here? Huh?

The Electrone makes several excited buzzing, synthesized sounds.

ARON:
What… am I doing?

Aron slashes him down and heads off in the designated direction. Aron rounds a corner, coming into the heart of the city and stops cold.

ARON:
Oh no.

EXT. HAWK VALLEY, OUTSKIRTS- DAY

Dawn, Tyl and Makoros are still battling the Electrones. Josh kicks one and, using his Velocity Cutter like a bat, knocks it’s head off. Chase is still battling with Tronyx and the two are weary, as they continue to batter at each other, looking for an opening. They each fall back, bent double and breathing heavily.

CHASE:
Come on, you can’t be tired. You don’t have lungs.

TRONYX:
I’m not tired. You look pretty pooped, though, maybe you should lie down… on my sword!

Tronyx suddenly jumps at Chase again and slashes him hard. Chase falls to his knees with a yell. The other Rangers and Josh yell out in panic as Tronyx raises Chase’s chin with his sword point.

TRONYX:
I can’t believe you didn’t see that one coming! You struck me as smarter than that… huh, guess I was wrong.

The other rangers begin fighting to his side, hard. Chase demorphs.

CHASE:
It doesn’t matter what you do to me, Tronyx. Someone else will take my place- the others will keep fighting. They’re the real heroes and they’ll put you in your place!

Tronyx laughs.

TRONYX:
Look at them- they can’t even get past a crowd of Electrones! Our army is far more vast than a puny human such as yourself can imagine! We will prevail! We took our world from the tyranny of you humans- we’ll free yours as well. Goodbye, Red Ranger- and know that you died for absolutely nothing!

CHASE:
I die for something… at least I tried to do the right thing! At least I tried to fight!

TRONYX:
Well, good for you. Goodbye!

Tronyx raises his blade to strike. Dawn tries to jump for him, but is caught by two Electrones. She uses her power on them, draining them, but more spring up in their place. Makoros comes to her rescue, shooting them out as Tyl tries to hold an angry Josh back and fight off the other Electrones surrounding them. As Tronyx begins to swing down, however, he’s hit with multiple blasts, getting thrown back.

COOP:
Not my son!

Coop runs up with a contingent of Resistance fighters, their weapons aimed at Tronyx and the Electrones. Tronyx climbs to his feet.

TRONYX:
This is not my fight any more. Electrones, finish them off!

Tronyx teleports away. Chase looks up to see Coop there.

CHASE:
Dad? What’re you doing here?

COOP:
You see what just happened there… that’s what I was afraid of.

CHASE:
You saved me?

COOP:
I had to son… Now, why don’t we finish these guys off, Aron’s in trouble!

CHASE:
Aron!

COOP:
Durrane went to find him with the others, but we aren’t sure what’s happening- we have to go ASAP!

CHASE:
Got it!

Chase takes a stance and, with the rest of the Resistance fighters, rushes in to help the other Rangers.

EXT. HAWK VALLEY, SCHOOLYARD-DAY

The Electrones stand guard around the playground where a school full of children and teachers cower on the ground. Ventor paces in front of them.

VENTOR:
So, who here is in charge?

A fat man in a tweed jacket crawls forward in a scramble.

PRINCIPAL:
That’s me, sir! Please, just don’t hurt the children!

VENTOR:
How dare you talk to me, filthy human! I’ve had enough of this! Electrones!

ARON:
How about you leave everyone alone? Maybe I won’t have to take matters into my own hands!

Everyone, shocked, turns to see Aron walk into the playground, swinging his Velocity Cutter in an arc before him and taking a stance.

VENTOR:
A Ranger! But- but I was told we had you all under control!

ARON:
So that’s what this is? Distract us while you go after the citizens? That has got to be the most pathetic thing I have ever heard!

VENTOR:
Well… one Ranger isn’t too much trouble. Get him!

The Electrones turn to face him mechanically, then all charge in at him. Aron brings his fist up, squeezing it tightly and building up energy as he watches them come for him. When they’re almost upon him, he casts his hand out with a yell, sending a blue shockwave of energy through the Electrones, decimating them. Ventor jumps back in shock as the crowd begins cheering.

VENTOR:
Shut up, all of you! That isn’t my entire force, you know! We’ve split up! I’ll get the others and come back for you, Ranger!

ARON:
And I’ll be waiting for you, Boiler boy!

Ventor runs off, trying to jump the fence, he is unable to do it, causing a few among the crowd to giggle, quietly. Ventor turns back to them.

VENTOR:
I said shut up!

Ventor uses a laser to blast a hole through the fence and runs away. Aron watches him go, then races to the crowd, signaling the teachers as he helps the principal to his feet.

PRINCIPAL:
Oh, thank you! Bless you, sir!

ARON:
Not now! We need to get everyone back in the school-

TEACHER 1:
But they’ll come back!

ARON:
I think we can hide everyone in a small area- a few classrooms, at least- if they keep quiet. When they come back, we’ll have a few surprises for them.

TEACHER 2:
What, like Home Alone?

Aron scoffs indignantly.

ARON:
No! We don’t have time for that. Come on, let’s get moving!

The teachers agree and start sheparding the kids inside while Aron guards the rear.

EXT. HAWK VALLEY, OUTSKIRTS- DAY

The Electrones are all but beaten and the Rangers are busy routing the last few. Chase turns to Coop.

CHASE:
There we go… job well done, I guess.

COOP:
You did… well, you did better than I expected.

CHASE:
Better than you expected? Dad, the fate of the world’s apparently in my hands, and you have absolutely no faith
in me?

COOP:
I didn’t say that, Chase. I know you have a lot of… pain right now, what with everything that’s happened-

CHASE:
Dad, you’re all I have left, and you turned on me- this is all on you!

COOP:
Chase! Wait, I-

Chase storms off to the others, leaving a hopeless Coop behind.

CHASE:
Come on, guys, let’s go find Aron.

Dawn looks to Coop.

DAWN:
What about your Dad?

CHASE:
I’m sure Durrane can keep him and Josh safe until the situation is routed, right?

Chase looks impatiently at Durrane, who walks up behind Coop. He sighs, patting the man on the back.

DURRANE:
I’ll see to it myself that the civilians make it back home, Ranger.

CHASE:
Red Ranger.

Tyl smiles.

TYL:
So, you accept the title?

MAKOROS:
Team leader?

CHASE:
If you guys really want me to… it’s the least I can do. Let’s go find Aron.

Everyone gives consent and moves out. Chase rushes off into the city with Dawn, Tyl and Makoros hard on his heels.

EXT. HAWK VALLEY, CENTER- DAY

Electrones are massing around Ventor.

VENTOR:
The main target is the school! I want everything that isn’t a machine completely destroyed, is that clear?

The Electrones beep and buzz their understanding of the orders. Suddenly, Tronyx teleports in nearby and shoves his way through the crowd to Ventor’s side.

VENTOR:
General, what’re you doing here? What happened to the diversion.

TRONYX:
I had it under control until the resistance fighters showed up!

VENTOR:
Resistance fighters? Here?

TRONYX:
They’ve been here, you dolt! Never mind, my plan should have accounted for them, if Green and Black made it through, so could others.

VENTOR:
So did others.

TRONYX:
Will you shut up!?!

Tronyx smacks Ventor with the flat of his sword. Suddenly, a blinding flash of light appears in the crowd. The Electrones part as a portal opens and Sapis and Optica come through.

SAPIS:
Tell me… what happened to that plan of yours again?

TRONYX:
My- my lady, I-

SAPIS:
I’ve heard enough of your excuses, Tronyx, I-

Sapis pulls an electrified whip from her belt, activating it, she raises it to strike at Tronyx when Ventor gets in the way.

VENTOR:
Er, my lady, if I may?

SAPIS:
Make it quick, Ventor!

VENTOR:
The General was just informing me that he saw one of the Rangers enter the schoolhouse alone!

OPTICA:
He did?

TRONYX:
I did? Er, yes, my lady- he’s alone and vulnerable! If we take the full force inside, we can catch him unawares and destroy him long before his friends arrive!

OPTICA:
One less Ranger to deal with… it’s doubtful when or if we’ll have another chance like this again, my lady.

Sapis ponders it a moment before deactivating her whip and returning it to her belt.

SAPIS:
You do it, or you will-

Laser blasts suddenly rain out. Sapis, Optica, Tronyx and Ventor all look up to see the group of resistance fighters sent after Aron across the square setting up cover fire on the bewildered Electrones. Sapis ducks several more blasts.

SAPIS:
ATTACK!

TRONYX:
Defend your empress, you fools!

OPTICA:
Strike them down!

Optica and Tronyx draw swords and crouch as Ventor joins them. Sapis retreats a distance away and teleports home.

VENTOR:
What’ll we do, General?

OPTICA:
I’m the advisor, here, remember? This one just has rust for brains!

TRONYX:
Shut up, you’re the one who got me into this mess!

OPTICA:
I did-

TRONYX:
Anyway, Ventor, take your group and follow your plan on the school, the brilliant Advisor and I will take the rest and keep the humans busy!

VENTOR:
Perfect!

Ventor withdraws, shouting orders. Tronyx and Optica stand and begin yelling orders as well as they set up counter fire and lead a charge.

INT. SCHOOL, CLASSROOM 1- DAY

Aron and a few teachers peek out the window. Aron spots the disruptor device just across the street and points it out.

ARON:
There, that has to be the thing messing with the signal.

TEACHER 1:
Well, what do we do, how do we contact your friends?

ARON:
Well… with my luck, all I’ve got to do is touch it and it’ll blow up in their faces.

TEACHER 1:
You want to go out there?

PRINCIPAL:
No time! There!

He points across the square as Ventor and his Electrones begin pouring out of alleys and assembling across from the school.

EXT. SCHOOLYARD- DAY

Ventor is pacing in front of the Electrones.

VENTOR
Electrones! This day, you will make your masters proud! We will invade this building! We will find the Blue ranger, and we will destroy him and any other humans who get in our way! Do I make myself clear?

The Electrones raise their weapons in salute and make lots of rapid buzzing, beeping noises.

ARON (0S)
Fire!

A blast comes out of the window and hits the signal jamming device, destroying it. Ventor yells in rage.

INT. COOP’S CUSTOM TRAX, GARAGE- DAY

An alert gets Helina’s attention. Confused, she brings up a window and her eyes go wide with shock and excitement.

HELINA
YES!

RESISTENCE FIGHTER
What is it, Lieutenant?

HELINA
I don’t know what happened, but the signal jamming is over! Now let’s have some fun! Tracking down all Ranger signatures… there! The Rangers are all almost in the city center! Now, rebooting Eagle and Shark Runners! It’s time to finish this!

EXT. HAWK VALLEY, ALLEY- DAY

A beeping sound issues. The Eagle Runner rights itself, spins around and drives off. The Shark Runner also reverses out of the wall and follows the Eagle Runner.

EXT. SHOOLYARD- DAY

VENTOR
Charge!

The Electrones start piling into the school.

INT. SCHOOL, CLASSROOM- DAY

Aron, morphed with his Lightning Launcher out, turns to the school staff.

ARON
Ok, everyone know their jobs?

The frightened people all nod.

ARON
Good. ‘Cause here they come. Move out!

Everyone heads to their stations.

EXT. HAWK VALLEY, STREET- DAY

Chase, Dawn, Tyl, Makoros, Durrane & Coop have now joined the fighters taking on Tronyx & Optica. They’re kneeling opposite the Electrones in a firing line.

RANGERS & DURRANE
FIRE!

The Rangers and Resistance Fighters all fire on the Electrones. Tronyx & Optica are able to get out of the way, but the Electrones are hit hard and go flying through the air in all directions, sustaining heavy damage, deactivating and exploding. Very few are left. Tronyx & Optica look around at their decimated army.

OPTICA
I think we’ve been here long enough!

TRONYX
Smartest thing you’ve said all day!

The two activate teleportation devices on their arms and teleport out. Chase & Dawn flip their Velocity Nozzles to Cutter mode and lead the charge against the remaining Electrones. Within seconds, the stragglers are cut down and the Rangers keep going.

DAWN
Guys, the signal jammer’s down! I think I just found Aron!

CHASE
Lead the way! Come on guys!

The Eagle and Shark Runners arrive, cutting them off and they stop. Chase and Tyl walk up to them, admiring the bikes. Chase looks up to Tyl.

CHASE
You ready.

TYL
Let’s finish this!

They pull out their special Androjinn and slide them into the vertical slots where the gauge display is supposed to be, activating them. The handlebars & touch screen display folds out and they climb on. Dusk & Makoros climb on with them. Chase turns to the others.

CHASE
You guys follow behind! We’re going ahead to see what we’re up against!

Everyone agrees and the two bikes & four Rangers speed off.

INT. SCHOOL, HALLWAY- DAY

The Electrones are looking around, confused. They enter a large set of doors and find themselves in the gymnasium.

INT. SCHOOL, GYM- DAY

As the Electrones enter, the school staff hidden inside start pelting them with balls. The Electrones try to retreat as Aron comes in behind them, destroying them with his Launcher. Aron signals the staff.

ARON
Ok, get back to the students and protect them!

PRINCIPAL
Where are you going?

ARON
After Ventor! Go!

INT. SCHOOL, HALLWAY- DAY

Ventor and his Electrones are searching for Aron, but can’t find anyone.

VENTOR
Where is that Ranger? Why is he hiding like a-

ARON
I’m not hiding, Ventor! I’m right here!

Ventor turns to See Aron walk up the hall towards him. Aron places an Androjinn into his Velocity Nozzle and spins it up into his hand.

VENTOR
Attack!

The Electrones begin firing on Aron. He races up the hall, narrowly avoiding the blasts that ricochet off walls and lockers. As one blast almost hits him square in the chest, he “matrixes†his way out of it and goes backflipping up into the air. As he comes down, he kicks out two more Electrones and levels his weapon on Ventor, who also aims a laser arm at Aron.

ARON
Call off your Electrones, now!

VENTOR
Or what?

The two start firing on each other and every single blast is countered by the other, until one from Aron gets past Ventor’s defenses and injures him.

ARON
Call them off! It’s just you and me.

VENTOR
Fine!

EXT. SCHOOLYARD- DAY

The Eagle and Shark Runners pull up outside the school. Dawn & Makoros climb off, leaving Chase & Tyl the bikes.

CHASE
So, he’s in there?

DAWN
Yeah, he’s… hold on!

Everyone looks up as the main doors open and The Electrones pour out. The two groups pause, eyeing each other in surprise. Then, the Electrones attack.

RANGERS
Let’s do it!

Dawn & Makoros run into battle and Chase & Tyl ride after them.

INT. SCHOOL, HALLWAY- DAY

Aron & Ventor circle each other warily. With a yell, they rush each other.

EXT. SCHOOLYARD- DAY

Dawn fires with her Velocity Nozzle, Makoros with his Lightning Sniper. Several Electrones fall under their combined blasts. Chase & Tyl clean house with the lasers on their bikes.

INT. SCHOOL, HALLWAY- DAY

Aron and Ventor arrive at each other. Ventor swings, but Aron flips over his head, jamming his Velocity Cutter into the pipe on Ventor’s head. Ventor gasps in surprise.

ARON
Fire!

Aron pulls the trigger and fires a shot down the blade of his weapon, causing an explosion inside Ventor.

EXT. SCHOOLYARD- DAY

Tyl drives past Makoros and grabs his arm, vaulting him onto the bike behind him.

TYL
Let’s put them together!

MAKOROS
Right!

Makoros tosses Tyl his Lightning Sniper and Tyl combines it with his Lightning Cleaver and places Androjinn 4 inside it.

TYL & MAKOROS
Nos Launcher! Fire!

They shoot a blast from the Shark Runner, decimating the remaining Electrones. Tyl drifts to a halt and Chase & Dawn rush over.

CHASE
Great, guys!

TYL
Yeah, but where’s Aron?

Dawn pauses, as if consulting something, then looks up at the main door.

DAWN
There!

The doors open and Aron comes out, pushing Ventor in front of him. Aron pushes Ventor down and flips over to the others.

DAWN
There you are!

TYL
Where’d you go, anyway?

Aron ignores them, approaching Chase.

ARON
Hey, man… I’ve had some time to think, and… I’m sorry, for what I said before. I know it was a little hot headed and all-

CHASE
It’s fine. I’m sorry too, I was just… going through something and I thought I had to do it alone.

ARON
You don’t man, we’re your friends.

CHASE
I know. Thanks.

MAKOROS
Hey, guys, what say you we finish this guy before her, you know, gets back up?

CHASE
Oh, right! Lightning Traveler!

Chase whips out his Sword weapon. The others follow suit, pulling out their weapons.

DAWN
Lightning Charger!

ARON
Lightning Launcher!

TYL & MAKOROS
Nos Launcher!

They’re about to put them together when Tyl stops Chase.

TYL
No, man, I have a better idea.

CHASE
What idea?

TYL
Just watch.

Chase, Aron & Dawn assemble the Flagger Cannon. Tyl and Makoros attach the Nos Launcher to the end of it, forming an even longer cannon weapon.

CHASE
What’s this thing?

TYL
Helina was keeping it as a surprise, but I figured we could use it. This is the TMD- the Thousand Mile Destroyer!

CHASE
Yeah, well, let’s hope it doesn’t blow up in our faces. Androjinn, activate!

Chase places his Androjinn into the slot on the side, activating the device. Aron, Dawn, Tyl & Makoros take their places on each side to hold it up while Chase fires. The blast hits Ventor and he explodes.

INT. CYBEX FORTRESS, THRONE ROOM- DAY

Sapis is sitting on her chair, massaging her forehead as se watches Ventor die on the screen. In a strangely calm voice, she speaks.

SAPIS
Please, activate the Titanide Fliud… NOW!

CYBEX, OPTICA & TRONYX
Yes, Mistress!

EXT. HAWK VALLEY- DAY

The fluid is activated. Ventor reassembles himself and grows. Chase turns to Tyl.

CHASE
I don’t suppose you guys have had any luck bringing your Androfauna through?

TYL
Sorry, no. Nothing yet. It’s on you three now.

Chase, Aron & Dawn nod and step forward.

CHASE, ARON & DAWN
Androfauna, activate!

All the children and school staff wave to the Rangers from the windows, thanking them and exclaiming excitedly. The Velocitalon, Velocimane & Velocigrizzly are summoned & Chase, Aron & Dawn leap into their cockpits. Tyl backhands Makoros in the chest.

TYL
Come on. Let’s get a better view.

The two rush off.

The Velocitalon goes into fligt mode and soars at Ventor, hitting him back. It flies back and uses it’s talon to throw Velocimane on end. Velocimane transforms into the legs & pelvis of the Megazord. The Velocitalon then grabs Velocigrizzly and hovers over the Velocimane as the transformation completes itself. Ventor gets up and begins firing on them, but the Megazord uses it’s shield to block the blasts and then rushes in close, slashing at Ventor and blocking his attacks with their shield. The Megazord leaps into the air and comes back down, slashing Ventor in half and destroying him for good. Tyl & Makoros watch from a skyscraper rooftop.

MAKOROS
Do you think we’ll ever get the Velocicurrent and canine back?

TYL
I don’t know, man… I don’t know. Well, come on.

The two walk off. They hold down the buttons on their morphers.

TYL & MAKOROS
Power Down!

The flap opens and the Androjinn shoot out to be caught in their other hands. Their suits glow brightly and ignite in green & purple flames which are sucked to each palm and disappear into their morphers & Androjinn. On another rooftop not far away, Chase, Aron & Dawn leap out of their Megazord. The three and their Megazord pose as Ventor continues to explode behind them.

ALL THREE
Power Rangers Accele-lightning!

INT. COOP’S CUSTOM TRAX- NIGHT

The Human Resistance fighters are all celebrating when the garage door opens. Everyone looks up as the five Rangers file in. Aron, Dawn, Tyl & Makoros join the party, but Chase is stopped by Coop. They stare each other down for a moment before Chase extends a hand to shake.

CHASE
I forgive you… this time.

Coop accepts it and the two shake.

COOP
Thanks, that means a lot to me. And good luck on this Ranger thing… you are Red, after all, they need you.

CHASE
Thanks… That means a lot to me.

COOP
So, join in the party.

Chase smiles and the two join the others in celebration of their victory.

INT. CYBEX FORTRESS, LABORATORY- NIGHT

Sapis enters with Optica in tow.

SAPIS
Now, say that again?

Optica is blustering, in fear for her life and unable to coherently make sense. Sapis grabs her and holds her up against some equipment.

SAPIS
SAY IT!

OPTICA
My queen, I… I think we need to… move more forces to Earth… somehow!

Slowly a smile creeps onto Sapis’ features. She begins chuckling and drops Optica.

SAPIS
Go check on the prisoner again… wouldn’t want him to go without.

OPTICA
Yes, mistress… but, what of you?

Sapis unrolls activates a tabletop computer screen and brings up some blueprints.

SAPIS
I have some work to do… and I think you’re right.

She activates a hologram of the blueprint, showing what appears to be the device that sent her forces to Earth in the first place.

SAPIS
And, I’m sure, it’ll all be possible… very… very… soon.

FADE TO BLACK…
