Power Rangers: D-Gen (A Kyoryuger Adaptation)

[Shogun_Master]

I've decided to give in to my baser instincts & write, at least, a pilot for a Kyoryuger adaptation. Episodes 1 & 2 will be up soon.

Power Rangers D-Gen

An all Powerful race, the Anukati (yes, that is an Annunaki reference, due to the mythological theme of the aliens) has decided to plunder Earth for natural resources- including humans- to replenish their riches, arsenal & feed their army of Primordial Ooze footsoldiers, the Primers. In response, Ethan James, ex-Ranger & CEO of a top-end tech company, organizes a team of ex-Rangers & engineers to re-engineer the Dino Powers in Project D-Gen, but when things get out of hand, the original test subject for the Ranger Powers much choose two random passersby to help her in her struggle, bringing together the Power Rangers D-Gen!

Kenneth Bragan/ D-Gen Red:
An outgoing, get-things-done country boy with an adversion to the Ranger suits- so much so, in fact, that he swears the whole team to secrecy so no one will ever associate him with it. That being said, he is far more concerned with good & innocent people getting hurt, and so dons the suit & responsibilities of the Red Ranger regardless.

Tyee Akennhea/ D-Gen Blue:
A knowledgable history geek or Native American origin. He is currently an Archaeological intern working on Native dig sites in California & is more concerned with his own survival than anything, gladly welcoming the Ranger Power when granted to him. He is given the post of second-in-command on the team & constantly wears his long hair in a ponytail with an Indiana Jones-esue fedora.

Gwenivera James/ D-Gen Pink:
The bad ass, hard hitting female of the team & strange test subject for the D-Gen tech. When she is overwhelmed in the innitial Anukati invasion, she uses her perrogative, choosing two indeviduals nearby who are, more or less, unafraid & concerned with the safety of others. Think of a Black Sarah Connor & you get the idea.

Tommy Oliver/ D-Gen Green:
When the main three Rangers randomly disappear & suddenly reappear, Ethan & Tommy assume they are evil, donning Ranger suits once more to do battle with them. Once it is revealed that they are the good guys, however, they decide to remain on the team indefinately.

Ethan James/ D-Gen Black:
Pretty much everything I just said.

Villains... I am still working on.

Tell me what you guys think & if you want to see more!

 

[Shogun_Master]

Sorry, no story yet, but I've got the villains:

Lord Nazigu:
The cold, calculating overseer of the Anukati invasion of Earth. He enjoys seeing to things personally & is a being of few words. He is able to use his tablet to awaken Anukati Splicers, genetically engineered monsters with specific abilities & purposes in the Earth Takeover.

General Rojos:
A Red & Yellow knight who is the Red Ranger's archnemesis & foil. He serves as the second in command & is extremely hotheaded & demanding.

Pan:
A powerful, tricky & calculating Anukati warrioress who serves as the Pink Ranger's archnemesis & foil.

Aquineus:
A somber & straightforward Anukati warrior who serves as the Blue Ranger's archnemesis & the advisor to the throne.

ZORDS- Saurigen Zords

-D-Tyranno: A tyrannosaur themed zord utilized by Red. Forms the head, legs & torso in the Megazord & can utilize the other four as arms & weaponry.
-D-Stego: A Stegosaur themed zord utilized by Blue. Can become the right arm of the Megazord & give it a combo sword/ shield weapon called the Stego Striker.
-D-Tricera: A Triceratops themed zord utilized by Pink. Can become a left arm for the Megazord & give it a drill type weapon called the Trinitops Drill.
-D-Raptor: A Velociraptor themed zord utilized by Green. Can become a right arm for the Megazord & give it a trident type weapon called the Raptor Slasher.
-D-Paras: A Parasaur themed zord utilized by Black. Can become a left arm for the Megazord & give it a blaster weapon called the Parasaur Launcher.
-D-Ankylos: An Ankylosaur themed zord able to be utilitzed by all the Rangers. Can become the right arm of the Megazord & give it a hammer type weapon called the Ankyclub.
-D-Cephalus: A Pachycephalosaur themed zord able to be utlized by all the Rangers. Can become the left arm of the Megazord & give it a mace & chain weapon called the Cephalus Orb.

Energex Megazord: Any combination of three of these zords with the D-Tyranno. Standard form, known as Base Objective, is with D-Stego & D-Tricera.

Arsenal:

D-Volvers:
The Rangers' main firearm weapon modeled after a revolver. Also serves as their morphers. Powered by D Cells.

Dino Braces:
To make them less conspicuous & clunky, the D-Volvers can collapse into gold dino themed bracelets when not in use. To activate, insert the D Cell into a slot at the wrist, tap a button & stretch your arm up. It fires into the air & folds out into the D-Volver.

D-Sabers:
Dagger like blade sidearms used by the D-Gen Rangers.

D-Rifle:
A combo weapon created with the D-Volver & D-Saber.

D-Cells:
Battery like items that link with the morphing grid to power things up or summon weapons & tech from the grid.

UPDATES:

First off, I am aware that I got some things wrong. The fact that I screwed up some zord's functions does not mean I'm changing them- I literally could not tell an Ankylosaurus from a Stegosaurus at first glance. Also, still not 100% sure what the Raptor mecha is actually supposed to do...
Anyway, I will get that fixed soon, It's just damn near impossible to edit long posts by phone.

Next, I am working out details & plotting the episode(s) right now. I am also working out how to integrate the Gold one in, which will be called the Meteora Knight. Although, that being said I haven't actually managed to get far enough into any of the now six of these that I've started to bring in sixths/ auxiliary Rangers, so... we'll see what happens, I suppose.

Finally, this is going to be a while in coming. I'd also like to continue work on Vortex Shield & I've come up with a plan to use events branching over a Gokaiger adaptation, Vortex Shield & D-Gen to try to integrate PR history into a single continuity, although it means pretending Accele-lightning never existed in favor of RPM... once again we'll see how it goes.

The reason this will be a while in coming, though, is I have a lot of demands on my plate right now, as well as the fact that I seriously want to do this right for once. I've had decent ideas in the past, but they've gotten away from me due to practically nonexistent episode plotting, having no real direction most of the time & just one offing scripts- ie, just writing a first draft, without revisions, editing, & actually trying to bring everything together like a person normally would were they actually writing a TV show. This time, for one reason or another, I actually WANT to try.

Lastly, I think it might be a good idea to revise what I've done in Eternal Sect so far, which may mean entirely re-working episodes to try to make a cohesive & less repetitive story. I'd also like to try to do a bit in a Goseiger fanfic I've mentioned a few times, but never got around to doing since I found Eternal Sect &, later, Vortex Shield much more interesting to me.

That being said, I am also starting a new job search as of tomorrow, trying to write a novel, working on some freelance pieces I'm trying to get published & am thinking about restarting my Youtube Channel with the same general idea I'm implementing here- to actually try this time instead of just screwing around for the sake of doing it.

That is all, don't expect an episode(s) any time soon, just know that I AM working on them and I mean them to be good.

 

[Shogun_Master]

UPDATES:

Sorry to disappoint, but no episode yet. Just wanted to say that I finished draft one of episode 1 last night- and I actually feel confident that I did a pretty decent job. The tone was pretty much what I'd been aiming for, there feels like there's a noticable plotline, I brought up a few things that can be plot later, characters are great- this cast surprisingly feels like the strongest Ranger characters I've ever written. I just want to hold over a while longer & look for possible errors & see if there's anything I want to cut down or change.

As always, it'll be a two parter.

Might want to also point out that a new epiosde of Vortex Shield may be coming, as I happened to find that file (still half finished) recently. I'll try to get that done while I brainstorm episode 2 of D-Gen.

 

[Shogun_Master]

UPDATE:

This WILL be up this week. Sorry, it took so long. I am going to warn you, though. This series is going to have some rather bizarre elements that only occured to me while I was writing / plotting that seem a bit dark/ gritty for Power Rangers- one of them being the fact that the Rangers are protecting an abandoned city for a while & people only return when they begin to realize that the safest place on Earth is where the Rangers are, making them beacons of hope & somesuch.

Unfortunately, I'm also going to admit that Tyee is almost falling into the same role as previous camp characters I've created & I'm currently trying to move him away from that beyond episode one. Also, there isn't much character building in episode one, but, since we're doing a two parter, as always, there'll be more in episode 2.

I will try to have a new episode of Vortex Shield up this week as well- probably the same day as D-Gen 1. I plan to do a lot of writing tomorrow, so, we'll see what happens...

Stay tuned!

 

[Shogun_Master]

Ok, here's what you've all been waiting for- Power Rangers D-Gen, Episode 1. In case you're wondering, this episode will be split into three posts to make it easier on the system. Also up today, Vortex Shield Episode 5.

Coming soon- Power Rangers Eternal Sect (Redeux), Episode 1
Power Rangers D-Gen, Episode 2
Power Rangers Vortex Shield, Episode 6

POWER RANGERS: D-GEN

EPISODE I: NEXT GEN; PT I

EXT. DENGESIS, CITY- LATE AFTERNOON

A massive spaceship flies in over the futuristic, alien city. Alien beings begin running left and right, screaming in terror as the assault begins. A strange, spinning, wheel-like mechanism lowers from the bottom of the ship and begins flinging thick, chunky white goo far and wide, which turns into strange white foot soldiers with green heads and tentacle-like hair on impact. These foot soldiers begin terrorizing the city. Several alien monsters appear as well, aiding the foot soldiers in their destruction and egging them on.

INT. ANUKATI SHIP, CONTROL ROOM- LATE AFTERNOON

A black robed being with a tablet and a grey, spiky helmet kneels before a projected screen, speaking to the shadowy figure shown.

LORD NAZIGU
Everything is perfect, my liege. Planet Dengesis will soon be yours, just like the others!

SHADOWY FIGURE
See it done!

LORD NAZIGU
Of course!

The screen deactivates and Nazigu stands to leave, addressing three shadowy figures standing to attention behind him.

LORD NAZIGU
You three!

THREE
Yes, Lord Nazigu!

LORD NAZIGU
Get down there. Oversee the assault. I want... no... mistakes.

EXT. DENGESIS, CITY- NIGHT

The attack continues. Beings are being blasted left and right as remnants of some sort of air force use space fighters to try and fend off the assault above. As a citizen flees, she trips falling to the ground. She turns to get up, only to find herself surrounded by foot soldiers, who hall her to her feet before an alien warrior.

MONSTER I
Excellent work, Primers! Bring her to me!

CLOAKED
NO!

Everyone turns as a cloaked, female figure approaches, sword in hand.

MONSTER I
Says who? Reveal yourself!

CLOAKED
Your mistake.

She throws the cloak off, revealing Delphine who poses and activates her morpher.

DELPHINE
Rangers! You may begin your attack at your leisure.

MONSTER I
What is this?

DELPHINE
Simple. The Anukati have conquered their last planet. It's Morphing Time!

Delphine morphs into the White Alien Ranger, striking a pose with her sword.

DELPHINE
Power of Water! Power of Light! Powers, unite! White Aquitar Ranger!

Explosions followed by cheers echo throughout the city, confusing and surprising the monster. Delphine takes the chance, making a running start, jumping unnaturally far through the air in a crouch and kicking the monster back. She back flips, still in the air, and lands, flourishing her sword which begins glowing with energy. She turns, quickly slashing down the Primers in a few deft slashes and takes the alien woman's hand.

DELPHINE
It is alright. Now, run!

The woman nods and makes her escape as the Monster gets back up, roaring angrily.

MONSTER I
For the glory of the Emperor!

DELPHINE
I see you still wish to fight. Very well. It shall not be my funeral!

Delphine and the Monster lock in combat. We also see across the city as the other Alien Rangers, Zeo Gold, the Blue Centurion, Phantom Ranger, the Space Rangers, the Galaxy Rangers and a few unknowns are fighting, evacuating civilians and establishing a skirmish line, forging a front through the city towards the Anukati ship.

INT. ANUKATI SHIP, CONTROL ROOM- NIGHT

Nazigu looks on in shock as his forces are routed by the Ranger army, his monsters destroyed one by one. The Rangers are coming dangerously close to boarding his ship.

NAZIGU
How high are the Primer tank stores?

GENERAL I
Approaching critical, my Lord. Fifteen Percent and dropping.

GENERAL II
The Primer Ooze needs food and time if it is to grow. As disappointing as it may be... it may be far more so for those Rangers to board this ship.

GENERAL III
How did this even happen? This is insulting! The Anukati do not loose!

Nazigu slams his fist down on a rail in fury.

NAZIGU
Silence! Order the retreat. We'll deal with them later.

GENERAL III
But, sir-

GENERAL II
Where are we to go?

NAZIGU
We need to grow more Primers. As Pan has pointed out, they need food... now is the time for proactivity.

He starts shifting through something on his tablet.

GENERAL I
A low priority planet, then? Perhaps Miranoi?

LORD NAZIGU
Somewhere further away than that. Some place we can reap before any of these Rangers can arrive to save it.

GENERAL II
Some place like...

Lord Nazigu stops his search, sighing contentedly.

LORD NAZIGU
Ah. Perfect. Set a course... for Earth!

THREE
Yes, my Lord!

INT. ASTRO MEGASHIP- NIGHT

Andros is monitoring transmissions on the Command Deck.

GENERAL III (OS)
Start thrusters! Engage the Quantum Engine! Get ready for a feast of plunder, boys! We're heading for Earth!

Loud cheering ensues. Andros' eyes go wide.

ANDROS
No!

He hurriedly begins messing with his instruments, trying to create a safe communication.

EXT. DENGESIS, CITY- NIGHT

Delphine is still leading the assault when her morpher beeps. She signals the others to cover her and drops back behind a building to answer.

DELPHINE
This is White Aquitar Ranger, what is your transmission?

ANDROS (OS)
The Anukati are preparing for a retreat, but there's a problem!

DELPHINE
Yes?

ANDROS (OS)
They have another target in mind! We have to stop them before they leave orbit and-

Delphine looks up at a roaring sound as the ship fires up and shoots away into space.

ANDROS (OS) con’t...
-attack Earth!

DELPHINE
There may be a problem with that.

EXT. EJ INDUSTRIES- DAY

We cut to Earth, as we get a shot of a large tower marked EJ Industries. We hear laughter as someone appears to be hosting a press release of some sort.

INT. EJ INDUSTRIES, PRESS HALL- DAY

A black gentleman in his late twenties is standing at a podium, looking somewhat self satisfied at the joke he’d just told. He waits for the crowd to die down before continuing.

ETHAN
Even so, there is little to no doubt in my mind and the minds of my employees that EJ Industries will carry on into the future, continuing to inspire other great minds, push the technological envelope and, overall, prosper. Currently, we are working on a new type of deep space mapping program which will allow us to investigate other parts of the universe in remarkable detail. We are also working on a new cheaper, faster telecommunications program, as well as-

A hand comes up near the back.

ETHAN
Err... yes? You, the incredibly shifty looking guy in the corner?

REPORTER
I’m sure most of us are aware of your warehouse facilities throughout the area, most specifically in the city of Slate Creek? Do you have any information regarding the bizarre paranormal activity and attacks within the city in recent years?

Ethan smiles.

ETHAN
Alright, I'd hate to burst your bubble, back there, but if Ethan James Industries had any kind of dealings with the Power Rangers or knew anything regarding their whereabouts, don't you think someone would have figured that out by now?

The reporter shoots him a suspicious look, but slowly sits back down anyway.

ETHAN
Now, where was I?

INT. EJ INDUSTRIES, R&D DEPARTMENT- DAY

A young black woman, barely more than a teenager herself, is supervising a group of scientists as they charge up a device.

GWEN
Ok, I want this thing up in running in twenty! We need to start official beta testing by tomorrow morning, understood?

A guy in a lab coat walks up to her and hands her a clipboard.

ASSISTANT
I think we’re all ready to go, Ms. James.
\
GWEN
We’ve been over this, Ted. Call me Gwen.

ASSISTANT
Er, right. Gwen. As I said, though, everything is up and running. I think we’re ready to fire her up.

Gwen overlooks the clipboard, nods and hands it back.

GWEN
Ok, good! Activate the laser intensity scanner!

The device starts becoming active as several techies monitor it’s progress at computer stations and a computerized voice starts a countdown to activation. Suddenly, one of the technicians becomes confused. She stands and walks over to Gwen.

TECHIE
Hey, Gwen, we’ve got something weird.

GWEN
Like what?

TECHIE
Well, the device is supposed to shoot laser signals into space and wait for the frequencies to bounce back, like sonar, but...

GWEN
Yeeeaah... so?

The Techie has several false starts, seemingly unable to articulate herself. Gwen rolls her eyes.

GWEN
Spit it out.

TECHIE
Well... we haven’t even shot anything off yet, and we’re already getting something back.

GWEN
What?

TECHIE
The device is receiving a signal.

GWEN
Show me. The rest of you, back to work!

INT. EJ INDUSTRIES, HALLWAY- DAY

Applause issues from inside the press hall. A pair of doors open and people begin filing out, soon followed by Ethan James himself, shaking people’s hands enthusiastically. As he detaches himself from the crowd and begins heading up the hall, he is met by Gwen, just as he makes it to a row of elevators.

ETHAN
Oh, there you are. How’s the testing going downstairs?

GWEN
We got something. The device received an emergency transmission.

ETHAN
It... what? It’s not supposed to do that.

GWEN
Well, it did. Here. See for yourself.

Gwen shoves a tablet into his hands with a video. He turns it on just as the elevator arrives and they board. It shows Delphine.

ANDROS (OS)
Ok, I think we’re transmitting! Just, go! Do it as fast as you can!

DELPHINE
Greetings to any friendly forces upon the planet of Earth! You are in grave danger! An enemy is approaching your world... one which... can’t... imagine.

ANDROS (OS)
Hold on... break... up.

Several seconds of static.

ANDROS (OS)
Is that better?

DELPHINE
Yes, thank you. Arm yourselves, humans! You must prepare, not for war... but for extinction. The Anukati are coming! May the power protect you.

The transmission dies completely and the video ends. Ethan & Gwen share a look of dismay.

ETHAN
Yeah, that’s definitely not good.

He begins searching the tablet for something.

GWEN
What’s the Anukati?

ETHAN
Not really that eager to have that question answered. Here.

He hands her the tablet which now shows a list of contacts.

GWEN
What’s this? Who is... Dr. Oliver?

ETHAN
Old friends of mine who might be interested in this little development.

GWEN
What do you want me to tell them, exactly?

ETHAN
Tell them... we’re starting a new project. Let’s call it... D-Gen, for now.

EXT. WINE COUNTRY- DAY

A group of men are working in the grape fields, doing their daily chores. One guy with dusty brown hair in an open red plaid button up shirt over a white tee is fertilizing the plants with a friend of his.

DONNIE
I don’t know. I mean, what other work is there to do out here? It’s all grapes- that’s it.

KENNETH
I know what you mean. Don't worry. We’ll get out of here one of these days.

DONNIE
(sarcastically)
Yeah, when’ll that be, Kenny?

KENNETH
Relax. I’m saving up some money; soon I’ll have enough to move.

DONNIE
Well, that’s easy enough for you to say.

KENNNETH
Maybe you should stop spending all of yours then.

He playfully smacks Donnie’s shoulder.

DONNIE
Yeah. Whatever... so, where do you want to go?

KENNETH
Well... I’ve always wanted to see the city.

He gazes off at the surrounding mountains, imagining a city off in the distance.

KENNETH (CON’T)
Already found a great place up in Angelus Reef.

Donnie shakes his head with wonder.

DONNIE
I don’t get who’d want to live in the cities out here these days, anyway. I don’t think there’s a single one left that hasn’t been leveled by a Megazord.

KENNETH
Angeles Reef hasn’t.

DONNIE
Then do yourself a favor and stay here.

KENNETH
Why?

DONNIE
I bet you five hundred dollars it gets attacked in the next six months.

KENNETH
Really? Five hundred?

DONNIE
You heard me.

Kenneth offers his hand and they shake on it.

KENNETH
You’re on!

EXT. ARCHAEOLOGICAL DIG- DAY

A thin native American teen in a blue tee shirt, a brown utility vest and a western-style fedora, his hair back in a ponytail walks onto the dig site talking animatedly to his supervisor with a strong native accent.

TYEE
Thank you so much for this opportunity! I am just fascinated by my peoples’ history and what you are doing with all these new native sites you’ve been finding out here is just... it’s the leading edge in Paleo-American Archaeology- and I will do anything to be on that leading edge! Thank you so much for accepting my internship here, I just-

DR. ROBERTS
Can’t thank me enough, can you? It was the university’s decision, not mine. Although, your GPA is pretty impressive... uh?

TYEE
Thank you. Er, it’s Tyee. Tyee Annekea.

DR. ROBERTS
Mr. Annekea. Anyway, call me if you find anything particularly interesting. Otherwise, you know the drill. Gr-

TYEE
Grid, dig, diagram and preserve- I know, sir!

DR. ROBERTS
Good! Well, here’s your end. I look forward to what you find.

TYEE
I look forward to finding it.

They shake hands. Dr. Roberts leaves & Tyee heads onto the site to dig. As he works, he notices something odd hidden in the dirt. He clears it away to reveal, to his surprise, what appears to be a metallic grey battery-like device. He pulls it free for a closer look, intrigued and confused all at once.

TYEE
Hey, Professor?

Screen cuts to black.

Title card: One Year Later...

INT. EJ INDUSTRIES, HALL- DAY

A small group of individuals are on their way to a testing. We obviously see Ethan James at the lead, with the others quickly revealed to be Tommy Oliver, Haley (from PRDT) & Justin Stewart. They are passing around some files as they go.

HALEY
It's absolutely remarkable! It's almost as if the entryway was placed there for us to find!

JUSTIN
Even I'm having a hard time believing it. Everything was already in the grid, it only needed a catalyst to corporealize it. It was even geared for human physiology.

TOMMY
Yeah. Well, I think it's obvious this was placed there in case of emergency. The question we ought to be asking is who and why.

ETHAN
And when.

They all stop as Ethan looks up from the files.

ETHAN
Since the demise of Zordon, the original orchestrator of the Earth's Ranger Defense program, we've had twenty odd documented groups of Power Rangers. What's the give? People wanted to hack the grid, create Ranger tech, nobody in twenty years has noticed that there was already highly advanced, unutilized tech within the grid? How does that make sense?

HALEY
The grid itself is pretty alien. We only stumbled upon it and we've all had prior experiences working the grid, the three of you have had prior experiences using grid powered tech. Maybe... nobody else really knew what they were looking for? It's like a middle school student trying to use a computer without an operating system. They don't know where everything is because they don't know how everything is being organized and stored.

ETHAN
While that may be possible, I don't find it that probable.

They all stand around, pondering it awkwardly. Ethan starts walking again and the others rush to catch up.

TOMMY
Were you able to get in touch again? If Delphine contacted you, Billy has to be nearby. If anyone's unlocked the grid's secrets by now, it's him.

ETHAN
We've been trying for months, changing the frequencies and relay method- we even permanently converted the laser sonar device into a communication relay with a periodic protocol shift, but I think it's obvious by now that whoever we were warned about is blocking the signal.

They go through a set of doors onto a walkway above a massive domes room.

HALEY
So... how's your girl adapting to the Ranger tech?

ETHAN
Gwenivera's coming along. Vitals are ok, and her reaction times to the suit's natural modifications and external stimuli while within the suit are beginning to peak.

JUSTIN
Well, do we have other Rangers yet? I mean, we can't really expect her to just face it all alone, can we?

ETHAN
Gwen wants to be absolutely sure that there aren't any adverse effects to using the D-Gen tech and everything is functioning properly. She insisted that she go that part alone.

They look down as Gwen, currently in a black leather sleeveless shirt & pants, does a training session, flipping around amongst a series of targets and using extremely fast, brutal & efficient martial arts techniques to take them out. After a while, she pulls a dino-themed, gold colored blaster from a holster at her right hip and begins shooting targets left and right. She looks up, noticing the others watching her & flashes them a cocky smile as she pulls open the modeled jaw on the gun and inserts a metallic pink, battery-like device before snapping it shut. There is a small cylinder on the side like the chamber of a revolver, which she rolls off her left arm as she goes to aim it before her.

GWEN
' D-Gen, Energize!

She pulls the trigger. The blast appears to form the hologram of a pink triceratops, which roars & seems to glitch into a pink ranger suit. She slams the blaster back onto her hip & the suit gravitates onto her, morphing her into the Pink Ranger.

 

[Shogun_Master]

Scripts now split into multiple posts to ease stress on servers.
-Episode 1: Next Gen Pt 1- Post 2/3

GWEN
D-Gen Pink, Tricera Energized!

Ethan smiles to himself. The group watches as she uses her powers to take out the remaining targets.

ETHAN
That's my girl.

TOMMY
So, she gets the Triceratops too? Just like another genius I know.

ETHAN
Hey, I guess someone somewhere thought Triceratopsi were smart.

Haley snorts at the joke.

HALEY
Someone.

She takes out the last target, back flipping off of a kick to it and shooting it with her blaster before landing, turning to her audience and taking a bow. She taps the cylinder on her gun.

GWEN
Power down!

The jaw pops open, the battery pops out, which she catches, and the suit glows, glitches back into a hologram & fades away.

TOMMY
I don't know if I like the idea of the morphers being guns, though. That's not very inconspicuous.

JUSTIN
Oh, don't worry- I'm working on that one myself.

HALEY
So, do you think we're prepared?

ETHAN
As prepared as we're ever going to be. Whoever these guys are... I say, bring it on.

The other exchange smiles & nods of agreement.

HALEY
Ok, guys. If you'll follow me, I'll show you my stuff. Arsenal K & the Hatch Cycles are almost ready for the testing phase.

They all file out of the room as Gwen seems to be mesmerized by her blaster down below. She walks over to a case on a table & opens it up to reveal several more batteries all arranged neatly in foam on the bottom with a tag reading "D-Cells." She places her blaster into a foam slot on top along with two other identical ones & runs a hand over everything lovingly. She shuts the case, picks it up & goes to follow the others.

GWEN
Hey, I'm a part of this thing too! You ain't showing the rest of the tour without me!

EXT. SPACE, EARTH'S ORBIT

All is peaceful & quiet. All of a sudden, a ship makes a sudden arrival out of deep space.

INT. ANUKATI SHIP, CONTROL ROOM- DAY

The three figures bow before Nazigu.

GENERAL II
Sir, it seems we have arrived! Time for the fun part!

GENERAL I
I find it rather sad. These humans don't see us coming at all.

GENERAL III
We'll strike them with a fury they've never seen!

LORD NAZIGU
Do you three ever shut up?

He waits a moment before continuing.

LORD NAZIGU
There have been other assaults on this planet, but each and every one have been thwarted by alien intervention. The one they called Zordon, however, is now dead and this planet is nowhere near advanced enough to replicate his Ranger technology. Still... one signal did get through our barriers. Someone has been warned.

GENERAL III
Send us down, sir! We'll annihilate-

LORD NAZIGU
All in good time. For now, relax. Enjoy the show.

He snaps his fingers. The three generals turn to see a monster made up of trash walk in.

GENERAL III
A Splicer? Please, there's no need to waste good genetic material on-

LORD NAZIGU
Once again, Rojos, silence! I want to know who received that signal and what they plan on doing about it. Destruktor, I task you with leading the assault on the origin site of the return signals, right-

He taps his tablet, bringing up a holographic projection of Earth behind him, which zooms in to a site in California.

LORD NAZIGU (CON'T)
Here.

DESTRUKTOR
As you wish, Master! Permission to use the Primers?

LORD NAZIGU
Oh, permission granted. It's time for a shock and awe!

Destruktor bows and teleports out of the room. Nazigu and his three generals watch the hologram.

EXT. SPACE, EARTH'S ORBIT

The ship begins, slowly but surely, moving into the Earth's atmosphere.

INT. TYEE'S TRUCK- DAY

Tyee is driving down a dusty road towards a city. He puts on a headset to answer a call from Dr. Roberts as he pulls out one of the D-Cells he found in his digs & examines it, noting a tiny 'EJ industries' symbol on the bottom.

DR. ROBERTS
Are you there yet?

TYEE
I'm almost into city limits, sir. Trust me, I'm going to get those answers.

DR. ROBERTS
You know, there's a pretty big chance that they aren't going to see you.

TYEE
Have you ever once known me to give up that easily?

DR. ROBERTS
Well, no, but-

TYEE
Like, I said, trust me. I'm going to find out how advanced tech from a modern technology company ended up in a five thousand year old dig site if it's the death of me.

DR. ROBERTS
Do you have all of them?

TYEE
Yes, sir. All five.

Tyee looks up and stamps a foot on the brakes, screeching to a halt.

DR. ROBERTS
What happened? Are you ok?

TYEE
Well, uh... I'm not sure yet.

DR. ROBERTS
What does that mean? Are you ok or not?

TYEE
That all depends.

He gets out of his truck and looks up at the giant Anukati ship as it flies down over the middle of the city.

DR. ROBERTS
On what?

TYEE
You, uh... you believe in UFOs?

DR. ROBERTS
UFOs? Where are you?

TYEE
Like I said, just outside Angelus Reef. Yeah, I'm gonna call you back.

He hangs up, throws the headset back in his truck & pulls out a dusty brown satchel from the bed before charging off into the city on foot.

EXT. ANGELUS REEF- DAY

The attack begins. Destruktor begins ripping and blasting the city apart, enjoying every minute of it. The ship sprays it's Primer goo, which forms a limited number of foot soldiers who spread out and join in the attack.

INT. BUS, DAY

A public bus screeches to a halt as a bridge collapses, the frightened people inside freaking out. The driver quickly assesses the situation as he makes a call.

DRIVER
There's nothing I can do! There's nowhere else to other way to get around to a city exit without backtracking! I don't know, maybe we can squeeze through on foot, but how long'll we survive like that?

A single person on the bus doesn't panic. He overhears the entire conversation over the screaming, yelling & excitement, his fist slowly tightening. Finally, he jumps to his feet.

KENNETH
Alright everybody, let's get going! We have to keep moving! We'll get a heck of a lot further on foot than on this bus!

He begins evacuating the bus seat by seat. The driver is still on the phone.

DRIVER
Just stay here? You sure about that? Ok, but- hey! Hey, what're you guys doing!

He hangs up and jumps to his feet, trying to block people from leaving & comes face to face with Kenneth.

DRIVER
The authorities told us to stay put, people, there's no need to-

KENNETH
Hey, if you want to stay here, that's your problem. I'm getting these people out of here.

Kenneth brushes past him as the lat few people leave. The Driver does a double take at the sound of an explosion & looks back to Kenneth.

DRIVER
Who the heck are you, anyway?

KENNETH
Just your average guy doing what's right. Why?

DRIVER
So I can report you when help comes.

KENNETH
You really think help's coming right now? Fine. Do what you want.

Kenneth leaves, leaving the Driver alone. He quickly rethinks the situation and follows.

DRIVER
Hey! Wait for me!

INT. EJ INDUSTRIES, TESTING CHAMBER- DAY

Ethan, Tommy, Haley, Justin & Gwen are standing by in a room amidst computers, scientists, and half finished tech with wires, scanners and tools everywhere. Haley is furiously tapping on her computer while Gwen waits impatiently.

GWEN
Come on, we don't have all day. They're already out there!

HALEY
Would you calm down? You may need this, you know.

GWEN
Arsenal K isn't going to do anyone any good if we loose the city before it's done.

HALEY
(Sarcastic)
Yeah, well, it is done. Thank you for your patience.

She taps one last button and five weapons on a nearby table glow & demolecularize. Similarly, five D-Cells in a device attached to the computer glow as well as they receive the power. As soon as the glowing dissipates, Gwen is ripping them out and putting them in her case.

HALEY
Well, I'm glad to see you're so eager! Ethan, have you considered bringing up the concepts of patience or planning, preferably before she breaks something?

Ethan looks away, scratching his neck absent-mindedly.

ETHAN
Er... no comment.

JUSTIN
Are you sure you want to go in alone? Shouldn't you wait?

TOMMY
Maybe grab the other two D-Volvers? I'm sure Justin doesn't mind-

GWEN
There is no time to be running around gathering things- we've already wasted enough waiting for this.

Haley snorts irritably.

Gwen shuts the case & proceeds for the door.

GWEN
If anyone else wants to take care of that part and follow me, greatly obliged, otherwise, I'm out.

Gwen leaves. The three Ranger veterans & Haley exchange glances.

EXT. ANGELUS REEF- DAY

Kenneth escorts people down into a subway station.

KENNETH
Come on, everybody, just follow the tracks! You should be able to get out of the city safely before anyone knows you're gone!

A young girl stays behind, crying. Kenneth sees her and kneels down.

KENNETH
Come on, you have to go.

GIRL
But... my mommy... she-

KENNETH
Shhh, hey, if you go with them, I swear I will personally find your mommy and get her out of here. Ok?

The girl seems unsure, but nods anyway. Kenneth pats her on the shoulder and shows her off. He turns to leave to be confronted by the driver again.

DRIVER
Where are you going now?

KENNETH
To get more people.

DRIVER
Sir, you are crazy.

KENNETH
The name's Kenneth. Kenny Bragan.

DRIVER
Whatever. You want to head back into the War of the Worlds, that's your problem.

KENNETH
(Optimistically)
I know. Someone has to.

He turns and runs back off into the streets and rubble. as he races through an alley, however, he runs smack into Tyee as they come around opposite ends of a corner & the two fall over.

TYEE
(accusingly)
Ow!

KENNETH
What are you doing?

TYEE
Well, I was coming in to see someone, I figured I'd better hurry before they get wiped off the map.

KENNETH
What about?

TYEE
Nothing much.

KENNETH
Well, it had to be important, considering you willingly ran right into the middle of a war zone!

They hear a noise from around a third corner & flatten into a corner. They watch as a group of Primers run past the alley.

TYEE
What are those things, you suppose?

KENNETH
Aliens. Does it really need to be more complicated than that?

TYEE
I guess not... think it's safe to go?

KENNETH
We've got to go at some point. We obviously can't stay here with all this going on.

TYEE
Right. On three... one... two... two and a half-

KENNETH
Just go!

They bolt out of cover and run out into the street to be hit by a blast that knocks them down. As they roll around in pain, they look up to see Destruktor approaching them, chuckling to himself in a self-satisfied manner. A group of Primers organizes around them, trapping them from all sides.

TYEE
Ok... you're the expert. What's that?

KENNETH
A really bad city image campaign, now get up!

TYEE
Uh-uh. I'm fine down here.

Kenneth shoots him a look.

TYEE
What? Maybe he'll leave if we play dead?

Kenneth shakes his head and tries to get up.

DESTRUKTOR
Ah, ah, ah, human! I'd stay down if I were you.

Kenneth freezes.

TYEE
(whispers)
See, I told you.

DESTRUKTOR
Primers, round them up! Two unspoiled humans in peak condition... They'll do nicely to replenish the tanks!

The Primers rush in and pull them to their feet, Tyee moaning in disgust at the feel of them.

TYEE
They feel like they're made of cottage cheese!

Kenneth just grimaces, looking around for any way to take advantage of the situation. There is none. They're apprehended as Destruktor arrives before them, nodding at his minions' good work.

DESTRUKTOR
Take them away.

GWEN
Or not!

Destruktor turns in surprise to get a face full of laser blast. Gwen rushes in, case in one hand, D-Volver in the other. Kenneth immediately tries to take advantage and fight back. As he punches one, his fist sinks right through it. He pulls it out to find his hand covered in chunky white goo, which he tries to shake off. Tyee immediately notices the symbol on the case, his eyes go wide.

TYEE
Just the girl I was looking for! Hey!

GWEN
Stay still!

Tyee yelps in surprise & flinches as she blasts the Primers on either side of him. The Primers immediately disintegrate into goo upon contact with the laser fire. Tyee runs for it.

GWEN
Finally, some good news.

She pulls out a smart phone-like device & calls home base.

GWEN
We're in luck! Foot soldiers are susceptible to our laser fire, they just fall right apart!

ETHAN (OS)
That's great, Gwen, just stay on task- we hacked city surveillance and can see everything already.

GWEN
Oh... right.

She hangs up and joins in the fray fighting off the Primers. Kenneth continues trying to fight, but gives up attempting to knock out or destroy them, instead just trying to keep them at bay. He shouts to Gwen.

KENNETH
A little bit of-

Gwen shoots down the three nearest Primers to him.

KENNETH
...Thanks.

Tyee is cornered yet again & doesn't know what to do at first.

TYEE
Ok. Fine. You guys want some? Bring it on, ah-eet?

He begins hopping energetically from one foot to the other, putting his dukes up. The Primers hold up a fist each & some sort of blaster-like devices form over them. Tyee's jaw drops & he starts putting his hands up to urge them to stop. They aim at him and he runs for it, diving & sliding over a car as blasts fly around him. Finally, Destruktor has enough. He goes after Gwen himself. She tries to shoot him, but he knocks her D-Volver away. She begins trying martial arts, but he blocks every blow as he continues to advance, pushing her back. He grabs her arm with his claw as she tries to punch him. Kenneth sees and breaks away from his fight, picking up a good sized piece of concrete and throwing it at the monster to gain it's attention. It hits and Destruktor turns with a grunt of surprise. Gwen takes the chance, jumping up and kicking out with both her leg to knock him back and free herself. She snatches up her case again and rushes for her gun as Destruktor begins firing on her. Tyee is sitting in a fetal position behind the car, trying to gather his courage.

TYEE
Screw this. The girl with the gun is safer right now. Much safer. Ok, Tyee, you can do this! Go!

He makes a break for it, running back to the others.

KENNETH
She can't fight this thing alone.

Kenneth blocks a couple blows from some Primers, throw them back and rushes to her aid. The three meet just as Gwen dives for the D-Volver, grabbing it in a reverse summersault & firing several times, twice at Destruktor and once at some loose rubble above him, causing it to crash down & bury him.

GWEN
Maybe I do need help with this.

KENNETH
I'm willing.

TYEE
I'm not! Can we just get out of here?

GWEN
We have no choice.

She turns to them, opening her case and passing out the other two D-Volvers.

TYEE
Oh, thank god! These work as well as yours?

GWEN
Yeah, after you put this in it.

She gives him a blue D-Cell marked two, then turns to offer Kenneth a red D-Cell marked one. Tyee's eyes go wide.
TYEE
That's what these are? Some kind of fuel cell? Well, I guess I should've known that- they are shaped like batteries, after-

GWEN
You've... seen them before?

TYEE
Yeah, I-

KENNETH
Uh, guys?

He breaks them up & motions as the Primers begin grouping & building up their courage for an attack.

GWEN
He's right- we can talk later. For now, just follow me lead.

Gwen inserts her pink D-Cell marked three & slams the jaw shut with the flat of her hand & the eyes on her D-Volver light up.

KENNETH
It's a gun, it can't be that complicated to-

GWEN
Shut up and watch! I don't have time to explain this again! D-Gen, Energize!

MORPH SEQUENCE:
Gwen is standing on some sort of mining elevator as it comes up out of the ground into a mine shaft. She does a few quick tricks with her gun, then fires three shots into the air. These shots pass up to the surface of a pink wasteland & collide to form the D-Tricera Zord on it's hind legs. It roars & stamps it's feet down. Back in the mine shaft, Gwen looks back in surprise as pink cracks begin appearing & shooting gouts of pink flame. She runs for it, coming to the entrance & leaping out into space just as a pink explosion rushes out of the shaft. The D-Tricera zord jumps down after her & glitches, transforming into the Pink Ranger suit and gravitating onto her, morphing her into the Pink Ranger. She lands, slapping her smart phone onto her belt buckle, her D-Volver into a holster at her hip and posing as lava-filled cracks & gouts of flame erupt around her.

Scripts split into multiple parts to ease stress on servers.
-Episode 1: Next Gen, Pt 1- Post 3/3

Tyee & Kenneth look on in awe as a fully morphed Pink Ranger poses before them.

GWEN
D-Gen Pink, Tricera, Energized!

KENNETH
What... the...

TYEE
I'm in!

He fumbles, trying to hurriedly put his D-Cell into his D-Volver. Gwen pulls out her D-Volver & a matching dagger type weapon.

GWEN
D-Volver, D-Saber, Power up!

She rushes into battle as Tyee finally gets his in. Kenneth continues to look on, horrified.

KENNETH
What the heck am I looking at?

TYEE
That, my friend, is a Power Ranger. Power Ranger equals butts saved! So, if I were you, I'd go for it... just like this! D-Gen, Energize!

He does the pose, & goes through his own morph sequence, except with a blue theme & the blue D-Stego zord. He takes a step forward and poses.

TYEE
D-Gen Blue, Stego, Energized... or whatever she said, what do I care.

He hurriedly pulls out his D-Volver & aims at a nearby Primer.

TYEE
Fire!

He laughs in glee as the Primer disintegrates before him. He follows Gwen into battle & the two begin expertly taking down Primers left and right- Gwen a little more expertly than Tyee, who just seems to be having a great deal of luck. Kenneth just stands there in with a worried look on his face.

GWEN
What are you doing? Morph!

TYEE
Come on, man! It's great!

KENNETH
But- I... do you two see yourselves? Who designed those things? A four year old?

Tyee pauses, examining his suit.

TYEE
Well... I don't think it looks that bad.

GWEN
Seriously, considering the circumstances, I don't think it's that big a deal! What are you waiting for, just-

They all turn as the rubble blows up in the air Destruktor climbs to his feet, somewhat disoriented.

DESTRUKTOR
You thought that was clever, huh? You'll pay for that one- you'll all pay!

He begins firing on Gwen & Tyee at will, sending them flying back with yells of surprise. Kenneth looks on in horror, not knowing what to do. Destruktor notices him & laughs to himself, preparing a big blast to throw his way. Gwen & Tyee roll around in pain on the ground.

TYEE
Come on, man! Save yourself!

GWEN
You have to morph! Do it! Before it's too late!

Destruktor throws the ball of energy with a grunt. Kenneth makes his decision, loading the D-Cell as he watches it come.

KENNETH
D-Gen! Energize!

He fires, the blast coming in contact with Destruktor's blast. The two begin struggling against each other, but, finally, the red blast cuts through, throwing Destruktor's energy to the sides & causing a massive explosion behind Kenneth as he morphs into the Red Ranger. The He places the D-Volver at his hip as the glow dies down & poses.

KENNETH
D-Gen Red! Tyranno, Energized... wait a minute, why did I just say that? Why did I pose? Why... oh. OH! This one looks worse than the other two- come on!

GWEN
Look out!

Kenneth looks up just in time & does a matrix duck, avoiding a swing from Destruktor's claw as he rushes past. Kenneth leans back up & turns to face his adversary, pulling out his D-Volver & D-Saber and brandishing them at his foe.

DESTRUKTOR
So, it seems we were mistaken. There are Power Rangers here... no matter, you're planet will be ours regardless!

KENNETH
First, you attack my home unprovoked. Then you make me put this ridiculous thing on- as far as I'm concerned you're going down, right now! Hi-yah!

The two rush each other, Kenneth doing a butterfly kick, then spinning back around to slash with his sword. Gwen flips to her feet & Tyee rolls over & stands with a groan, still holding his injuries. They back up next to each other and look around as the remaining Primers regroup.

GWEN
You! What's your name?

TYEE
Tyee, why?

GWEN
Ok, Tyee, we need to get back to my case! There's some stuff in there we can all really use right now!

TYEE
(tired voice)
Yeah. Anything. Just- just make the monsters go away!

The two take stances with synchronized 'Hi-yahs" and rush back into battle.

INT. ANUKATI SHIP, CONTROL ROOM- DAY

Nazigu and his three generals watch, disgusted at their monster's inability to stop these new Rangers.

GENERAL III
This is an outrage! Allow me to go down there- I'll put an end to those three right now!

LORD NAZIGU
No need for that... there's only three of them. I have a plan, pull the ship back into orbit, immediately!

GENERAL III
What!

GENERAL I
Are we seriously running away? How depressing.

GENERAL II
Just let us go out and play? Those new Rangers look like fun!

LORD NAZIGU
No! No, playing and no retreating either. I have a plan!

GENERAL II
(giggles)
And what of the Splicer?

LORD NAZIGU
He's proving himself quite worthless. Pity.

EXT. ANGELUS REEF- DAY

Gwen & Tyee dispatch the last of the Primers and arrive at the case. Gwen opens it back up & begins looking as Tyee hovers impatiently over her shoulder.

TYEE
So what are you looking for? Maybe I can help.

GWEN
It's fine. I've got it.

TYEE
You know, I've been meaning to ask you about these things because I found-

GWEN
Tyee. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but let me concentrate. Please?

TYEE
Yeah, whatever.

He backs off & begins watching Kenneth fight Destruktor, cheering loudly, to which Gwen groans and facepalms.

GWEN
Tyee!

He stops abruptly, clearing his throat.

TYEE
Sorry.

GWEN
Now... where are they? Ah-hah!

She picks three more D-Cells out of the case & closes it, turning back to Tyee, who is staring up at the sky.

GWEN
Ok, now... what are you looking at.

TYEE
I have a feeling that that's not supposed to be happening.

Gwen watches as the ship flies off into space.

GWEN
They're leaving?

TYEE
Uh-uh. No, they're planning something.

Kenneth continues his fight with Destructor, somewhat amazed at his sudden skill.

KENNETH
Ok, last I checked, I couldn't do that!

DESTRUKTOR
Last I checked, you were on the ground.

Kenneth looks up as Destruktor grabs him with his claw and choke slams him to the ground.

KENNETH
Ok... ok, I deserved that. And you deserve this!

He kicks out his leg and trips Destruktor to the ground. All of a sudden, a deep boom sounds out from above, causing everyone to look up in surprise.

INT. ANUKATI SHIP, CONTROL ROOM- DAY

Lord Nazigu & his generals watch on in glee at the reactions of the Rangers & their own monster as the wormhole forms over the city.

EXT. ANGELUS REEF- DAY

Destruktor seems worried.

DESTRUKTOR
Wait! Just give me a chance! I can take them! Don't do this to meee!

He gets sucked up into the air. The Rangers try to hold on to something & Gwen is horrified as her D-Cell case is swept up. She reaches for them, but misses.

GWEN
No! The D-Cells!

Tyee looses his grip & begins sliding backwards across the ground with a terrified yell. He goes flying up into the air soon after. Kenneth slides along, but manages to grab a piece of rebar sticking out of a slab on concrete near Gwen.

KENNETH
Hey, what's up?... besides the literal.

GWEN
So, Red Ranger... what's your name?

KENNETH
Kenneth. Yours?

GWEN
Gwenivera. Just call me Gwen.

Kenneth feels his grip loosening.

KENNETH
Well, nice knowing you Gwen.

GWEN
Likewise.

They loose their grips at the same time & go flying up into the wormhole with terrified yells. The wormhole immediately closes as soon as it swallows them.

INT. ANUKATI SHIP, CONTROL ROOM- DAY

Lord Nazigu turns to his generals.

LORD NAZIGU
You see? Problem solved... now, for phase two.

He begins tapping on his tablet as his generals glow with red, blue & pink light. He looks up at them, nodding with satisfaction at his work.

LORD NAZIGU
There! If they have any more allies down there, that ought to offer up a bit of confusion. Now, you may go. Destroy that miserable planet so we can get back to business!

GENERALS
Yes, Lord Nazigu!

EXT. JUNGLE- DAY

Kenneth & Gwen come crashing down into a clearing, unmorphed. Tyee is sitting up against a tree, also unmorphed and looking miserable.

TYEE
Oh. Well, nice to know I'm not stuck out here alone.

They get to their feet and look around.

KENNETH
Where are we?

Tyee throws his hands up in defeat. Gwen's hand immediately shoots to her hip. She's relieved to find his D-Volver there and begins looking around in earnest.

GWEN
So... Tyee... see my case anywhere?

TYEE
Well, it could've landed on my head and made this day just a little bit worse. But... no. Haven't seen it.

GWEN
This is bad.

KENNETH
Why?

GWEN
That case had all the D-Cells in it. They're needed to build a dimensional bridge from the Morphing Grid to the physical world. Without them, nothing exists. No Ranger powers, no zords, weapons... nothing.

Kenneth groans & runs a hand through his hair as he begins pacing. Tyee becomes alarmed & pulls out his D-Volver, opening it. His D-Cell pops out.

TYEE
Well, I still have mine.

Gwen & Kenneth quickly check theirs, finding them all & well.

GWEN
Good! Then we still have some tech at our disposal.

She goes silent & suddenly begins walking off. Kenneth & Tyee watch her, confused.

TYEE
Yeah, uh... where are you going?

GWEN
We can't just sit around. Wherever we are, we have to get out of here. You coming?

Kenneth & Tyee exchange glances & sigh in defeat. Kenneth helps Tyee up & the two jog after her.

INT. EJ INDUSTRIES, TESTING CHAMBER- DAY

Justin comes rushing back in with another case to find Haley frantically typing & Ethan & Tommy running around like crazy, giving orders.

JUSTIN
Ok, I got them! Any luck?

ETHAN
None yet. We only just-

HALEY
I got something!

Everyone looks up hopefully as a strange look comes over her face.

HALEY
Something... in the city... not in a parallel dimension... what?

She types a bit and brings up a street image clogged with smoke & dust. The dust clears to show the three Rangers, who are posing.

TOMMY
There's something not right here.

HALEY
You're telling me.

They look on as the Rangers pull out their weapons & begin firing on the city, laughing while they do it. Civilians run screaming in confusion and fear. All Ethan, Tommy, Haley & Justin can do is look on in horror. Justin slams his case down on a table & opens it.

JUSTIN
So? Who's trying them out?

FADE TO BLACK...

 

[Shogun_Master]

Next time on Power Rangers D-Gen:

Tommy & Ethan are stunned when the three Rangers return to the city out of nowhere- completely turned to the service of the Anikati. The two once again don Ranger suits, becoming D-Gen Green & Black in order to stop them. Meanwhile, Kenneth, Tyee & Gwen wander a strange prehistoric dimension, trying to find the lost D-Cells and a way home while they learn to live together- however, Destruktor has found his way to this pllace as well and believes his only chance of escape is by finishing the task he was sent to start- destroy the three Rangers!
