December closed with the Red Ranger doubting himself, but the new year will open with the final three episodes of a six-part story arc involving Jigara planning to rule the world.

>Due to the home computer acting up, I may have to post some episodes earlier or a bit later than usual. Thursday- before or Tuesday-after postings are a strong possibility, since I will be able to utilize the computers at a nearby public library (when they are open).

2010 ADAPTATION ("POWER RANGERS: STAR GUARDIANS"):
Production is resuming on the adaptation of Japan's Super Sentai series, "Tensou Sentai Goseijaa."

The title, "Power Rangers: Star Guardians" has been chosen in place of "Power Rangers: Geo." The Star Rangers will begin their quest to defend the Earth and wherever evil may lurk on March 5, 2010 on the affiliates of the NightRanger Industries Online Network.

The name "Geo" was intended to be used due to the ranger helmets (from a October 2009 scan) depicting geometrical shapes, and reminded fans of the 1996 series, "Power Rangers: Zeo." The halt in production came when the official pictures and information started to be revealed in December 2009.

STORY (planned for now)-
Orbiting the planet Earth is a space station that is home to Space Command, an intergalactic peace-keeping force. When the evil Alliance from the planet Onyx attacks the planet, Space Command recruits five of their own officers to become a special operations unit created only for defense of Earth. These five young officers are now the...Power Rangers: Star Guardians.
-----------------------------------------------
SUPER SENTAI ("SAMURAI SENTAI SHINKENJAA"):
Only six episodes remain in the series, and it looks like things are about to get both dicey and interesting at the same time...including a couple episodes about the real eighteenth lord of the Shiba House, and SHE (Kaoru Shiba) could be replacing Takeru as ShinkenRed.

UPCOMING EPISODES-
JAN 03- #44 "Act 44: The Eighteenth Head Of The Shiba House (1)"
JAN 10- #45 "Act 45: Shadow World (2)"
JAN 17- #46 "Act 46: The Negative Great Victory Crash"
JAN 24- #47 "Act 47: Title TBA"
JAN 31- #48 "Act 48: Title TBA (1)"
FEB 07- #49 "Act 49: Title TBA (2)"
---------------------------------------------
SUPER SENTAI 2010 ("TENSOU SENTAI GOSEIJAA"):
With the now official photos and toy catalog scans, we are now getting a better look at the new series, which will premiere on February 14, 2010 in Japan.

PLOT:
In a hidden dimension humans can't see, named "Gosei World", there are mortals called "Gosei Angels". They possess super power called Gosei Power that no human has, which can only be used to protect the Earth and mankind. Unknown to humans, they had been protecting the Earth from harmful elements. To defend the Earth from invading enemies, the Gosei Angels use a passageway called "Tower of Sky" to travel from the Gosei World and the surface. However an invading enemy group called "War Star" is invading the Earth and destroyed the Tower of Sky passageway. With the passageway blocked, the Gosei Angels are unable to reach the surface. Without the Gosei Angels, will the Earth be destroyed by these invaders? However, at this very moment, five young and immature Gosei Angels, who happen to visit the human world (before the passageway was destroyed), stood up against the devils to protect Earth. They are the Goseiger!

Original Episode
------------------------
EXT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-ORIKAMI VILLAGE-BASE-DAY
[After a long, hard fight against Jigara, the team trains outside under Paolo's watchful eye. He sees that Aiden has been a nice addition to the team, although some of the team is a bit leary of him, but they try their best to get along with their new teammate as he adjusts to his new surroundings. Paolo is concerned, as he knows that Jigara's plan is taking shape.]

INT.-PURGATORY-RIVER STYX-SHIP-DAY
[Jigara paces back and forth as Sanzu watches.]

JIGARA:
Sanzu...it is time to go and attack the rangers...and destroy the Silver Ranger!

YELLOW ORIKAMI SPIRIT RANGER:
Aiden! Are you okay!?

[With no answer, the Red Ranger turns the Silver Ranger's body over. The suit shatters off of Aiden's body. The six notice the Imperial Morpher laying next to Aiden's lifeless body, which has a small stream of blood coming from his mouth.

RED ORIKAMI SPIRIT RANGER:
(frantically)
Aiden! Wake up!

PINK ORIKAMI SPIRIT RANGER:
(saddened)
It's no use, Dimitri...he's...gone.

[In a semi-circle, the team grieves the loss of their teammate. Suddenly, the Ramuka Card is fully powered, and the pictured Ramuka Clone comes to life, and instantly grows.]

(maniacally)
One ranger down...six to go!

INT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-ORIKAMI TEMPLE-CHASE MAUSOLEUM-NIGHT

Really!? How!?

NALA CALI:
The rangers must strike Sanzu with their powered-up blades at the same time while in their Orikami Spirit Modes

PAOLO NOIMI:
(hopeful)
Thank you, Nala...I'll go tell the team.

INT.-PURGATORY-RIVER STYX-SHIP-DAY
[The next day, Octo prepares the latest Aykasi, Rakogi for his mission.]

OCTO:
Now, go to the city, and create a diversion for the rangers so Sanzu can complete his mission.

RAKOGI:
Yes, master!

[Rakogi begins to depart for the city.]

INT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-ORIKAMI VILLAGE-BASE-DAY
[Paolo prepares the team for their mission.]

PAOLO NOIMI:
Now...in order for this to work, you all must be in Orikami Spirit Mode, and strike Sanzu with your enhanced Nature Sword attacks at the exact same time.]

DIMITRI FEDOROV:
And if it doesn't work?

PAOLO NOIMI:
(taking the Imperial Morpher from it's enclosure)

Both sides battle blade-to-weapon, then the rangers convert their blades. The five rangers spin their black Kendo Discs to transform their swords into their secondary weapons.

[In that moment, Aiden separates from Sanzu. The rangers rush to hold Sanzu back as the Yellow and Pink Rangers help Aiden. The male rangers all battle the raging Sanzu as Aiden recovers.]

YELLOW ORIKAMI SPIRIT RANGER:
Aiden! Are you okay!?

AIDEN CHASE:
I...I think so!

[Suddenly, Rakogi returns, battles the six rangers...and almost overpowers them when they are forced to split up into two groups of three. After battling the Red Ranger for a few minutes, Sanzu weakens, and must retreat back to Purgatory. Meanwhile, the recovering Aiden wants to join the battle. The Red Ranger tosses Aiden the Imperial Morpher.]

[As the sun begins to set on another day, the team's celebration is relatively short-lived as Jigara appears to face the seven team members.]

JIGARA:
(laughing maniacally)
Don't think that you have won this battle, rangers...you have only sped-up your destruction...the best is yet to come!

[With that, Jigara vanishes, leaving the seven team members puzzled and concerned. TO BE CONTINUED...]

[The team trains with their dowel-rod sticks as Logan ponders something.]

LOGAN KINGSTON:
So, how come I can't use the Dino Blade and the Shinobi Powers?

PAOLO NOIMI:
It has to do with a power threshold issue...if you are not careful, it can negate your powers forever...and possibly kill you.

LOGAN KINGSTON:
But, I am willing to take that chance!

DIMITRI FEDOROV:
(taking a quick breather)
Okay...you can use the Shogun Powers in the next battle.

INT.-PURGATORY-RIVER STYX-SHIP-DAY

RED KENDO RANGER:
Let's take them down, guys!

[The mounted ranger draw their bladed weapons, and battle the minions for a bit. Within a few minutes, the rangers acrobatically dis-mount their steeds, and continue to battle the Kanizars. During the battle, the Red Ranger tosses the Shogun Morpher to the Gold Ranger.]

Logan! Catch!

[Logan catches the device, and installs his Gold Disc.]

GOLD KENDO RANGER:
Spirit Of The Shogun Orikami!

[The Gold Ranger upgrades his armor.]

GOLD SHOGUN RANGER:
(posing)
Spirit Of The Light Warrior! Gold Shogun Ranger!

[A single Kanizar battle the Gold Ranger, and is able to wrestle the Shogun Morpher away from him. As he tries to get the morpher back, the Kanizars vanish...as well as the Gold Ranger's "Shogun Coat."]

GOLD KENDO RANGER:
(upset)
No! Give it back!

RED KENDO RANGER:
Don't worry, Logan...we'll get it back!

GOLD KENDO RANGER:
(calming down)
Yeah! I got an idea!

[The Gold Ranger takes out his Solar Phone, and starts to track the Shogun Morpher. Soon, the Solar Phone hones in on the Shogun Morpher's energy signature...it's in the quarry.]

This one is mine...I got us into this mess, and I will get us out of it!

RED KENDO RANGER:
No...all of us will go!

[The six rangers mount their Kendostangs, and depart for the quarry.]

INT.-PURGATORY-RIVER STYX-SHIP-DAY
[Jigara is not happy as the Kanizars took the wrong item.]

JIGARA:
Those blasted Kanizars got the wrong thing! They were supposed to steal the Dino Blade!

OCTO:
Look on the bright side...that one lone Kanizar got the Shogun Morpher instead...now the rangers cannot form the Superzord or the Ultrazord! Besides...this can work into our favor as well.

[Jigara backs down from his tirade.]

EXT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-QUARRY-DAY
[A lone Kanizar, now known as a Shogun Kanizar, dressed in the "Shogun Coat" stands by Jigara, and both are flanked by hundreds of other Kanizars. The rangers soon arrive, dis-mount from their Kendostangs, and go into battle with their bladed weapons.]

GOLD KENDO RANGER:
Give back that morpher!

JIGARA:
Come and get it, Gold Ranger!

[The team starts out the battle strongly, but begin to tire out after a bit against the Kanizars.]

PINK KENDO RANGER:
We need to upgrade into our Orikami Spirit Modes!

GOLD KENDO RANGER:
Wait! Dimitri! Let me borrow the Dino Blade!

RED KENDO RANGER:
Paolo said that it could kill you!

GOLD KENDO RANGER:
And I remember saying that it's a chance I'm willing to take...and to get the Shogun Morpher back...for the team!

RED KENDO RANGER:
Okay...Dino Blade! Dino Disc!

[The red sword forms in the Red Ranger's hand. He then hands the weapon and it's disc over to the Gold Ranger.]

GOLD KENDO RANGER:
Spirit Of The Ancients!

[Soon, the Dino Disc glows, and powers up the Dino Blade. Then, a red coat of sorts forms over the Red Ranger suit.]

GOLD SHINOBI RANGER:
Spirit Of The Ancient Orikami...

[The Gold Ranger performs several arm movements to slice the blade around him.]

...Gold Shinobi Ranger!

GOLD SHINOBI RANGER:
Dino Blade, Power Up!

[The Gold Ranger powers up the blade as Jigara retreats. The Orikami Spirit Rangers continue to battle the Kanizars. The Gold Ranger then uses the Dino Blade and his Solar Dagger to attack the Shogun Kanizar.]

Ancient Slice!

[The two blades slice through the Shogun Kanizar. The Shogun Morpher goes flying, only to be caught by the Gold Ranger.]

Gotcha!

[The Gold Ranger rejoins the others, and gives the Shogun Morpher back to the Red Ranger.]

Dimitri! I got the Shogun Morpher back!

RED ORIKAMI SPIRIT RANGER:
Good! Now, let's go O-S-M, and destroy these losers!

GOLD SHINOBI RANGER:

ALL RANGERS:

[The six rangers perform their combined technique to completely defeat the Kanizars. The six celebrate as the minions all crumble to dust.]

INT.-PURGATORY-RIVER STYX-SHIP-NIGHT
[A very angry Jigara chastises the Kanizars in the main room.]

JIGARA:
You pathetic losers cannot take a simple command! I told you to get the Dino Blade!

OCTO:
(being sly)
All is not lost...I think it is time to get the Imperial Morpher, and I shall send Sanzu to get it from the Red Ranger.

JIGARA:
I am intrigued, Octo...send the former Silver Ranger to reclaim his morpher!

[The two villains laugh maniacally.]

INT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-ORIKAMI VILLAGE-BASE-NIGHT
[The six team members sit in the main room, with Dimitri looking at the Imperial Morpher, which is displayed in a clear box.]

DIMITRI FEDOROV:
Paolo...may I ask who will take on the mantle of the Silver Ranger?

PAOLO NOIMI:
If Sanzu does not turn his evil ways around...I'm afraid that the only logical choice would be to...pick a successor.

[Paolo's words unease the team as Paolo leaves the room. TO BE CONTINUED...]

Based Upon:
Samurai Sentai Shinkenjaa "Act 41: The Sent Words"
------------------------
INT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-ORIKAMI VILLAGE-BASE-DAY
[The team (except for Sierra) talk over the last battle.]

LOGAN KINGSTON:
I am worried for Dimitri.

MEGAN NOIMI:
I am too.

EDDIE CALLAHAN:
Did you see how fast Iod dried up!?

CODY EGAWA:
That is what the seal that was placed on him does...and the consequences that Iod paid the price for. We have to defeat both Iod and Jigara.

[The team continues to talk (inaudibly).]

INT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-ORIKAMI VILLAGE-NALA'S HUT-DAY
[Paolo, Sierra, and Nala watch over the injured Dimitri. Meanwhile, Sierra receives a text on her personal cell-phone.]

SIERRA CROFT:
Oh, I got a text!

[Sierra presses a couple buttons to access the text message.]

It's from my sister, Dakota!

{Sierra starts to read the message)

You do your best, even if you have to depend on your friends...be careful, sis.

[After reading the text, Sierra looks a bit confused, and begins to have doubts on her place as a Power Ranger...and Dimitri's injuries are proof. Soon, Megan enters the room.]

MEGAN NOIMI:
Sierra...we're all going for some lunch...wanna come?

PAOLO NOIMI:
Go ahead...Nala and I will keep Dimitri company.

SIERRA CROFT:
Okay.

[A doubting Sierra reluctantly leaves the room with the others.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[After lunch, the five team members witness the Aykasi, Sunasu attack innocent citizens.]

CODY EGAWA:
Look! An Aykasi!

MEGAN NOIMI:
Let's go!

[The five rush in to help the citizens.]

SUNASU:
Sand Sword! Ravenous Storm!

[The citizens, including the team are attacked by Sunasu, as he uses his Sand Sword to release sand. Suddenly, the citizens want to eat everything in sight.]

SIERRA CROFT:
Guys!

[After checking on the other four, Sierra takes her Kendo Cell from her pocket, and opens it up to prepare to morph.]

Spirits Of The Orikami, Transform!

[The suit of the Yellow Ranger "fully-forms" over Sierra's Body.]

YELLOW KENDO RANGER:
Kendo Razor!

[The Yellow Ranger uses her sword against Sunasu. After a few minutes, though...she is overpowered, and must withdraw.]

INT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-ORIKAMI VILLAGE-BASE-NIGHT
[That night, the four infected team members are restrained, so they do not gorge themselves.]

PAOLO NOIMI:
We must keep them restrained, so they do not hurt themselves.

SIERRA CROFT:
Like Dimitri did in his previous battle.

PAOLO NOIMI:
That was very different, Sierra...no one expected Iod to show up.

SIERRA CROFT:
No. That is why, I think I must resign as the Yellow Ranger.

[Dimitri then secretly enters the base, holding his rib-cage. He hears the conversation between Sierra and Paolo, but Sierra sees Dimitri watching in a mirror.]

INT.-PURGATORY-RIVER STYX-SHIP-NIGHT
[Iod comes up to the surface, and talks to Octo.]

IOD:
How are things progressing, Octo?

OCTO:
Terrible...Jigara sent Sunasu to the city...and he is planning something bigger, involving the humans eating to death, and turning them into Aykasi warriors.

IOD:
That is not a part of my plan to enslave the planet!

[Iod looks deeply concerned.]

INT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-ORIKAMI VILLAGE-BASE-DAY
[The next morning, Sierra comes in from Nala's Hut.]

SIERRA CROFT:
Paolo! Dimitri's gone!

PAOLO NOIMI:
(as Sierra starts to leave to find Dimitri)
Sierra...I was thinking about that text...I think Dakota was try to give you encouragement...to be your true self.

SIERRA CROFT:
I guess you're right, Paolo.

[Suddenly, the sensor alarm rings...Sunasu is back in the city.]

PAOLO NOIMI:
I believe that you now know where to find Dimitri.

[Sierra agrees, then departs for the city.]

EXT.-CITY-PLAZA-DAY
[As the still-injured Dimitri uses hand-to-hand combat to battle Sunasu, Sierra arrives to help.]

SIERRA CROFT:
Dimitri!

DIMITRI FEDOROV:
Sierra...

SIERRA CROFT:
Look...um...sorry about earlier...I...was in doubt of myself due to a text message from my sister.

DIMITRI FEDOROV:
It's okay...remember, I had my doubts too. Now...let's take care of this freak!

DIMITRI FEDOROV AND SIERRA CROFT:
(as they perform their hand and arm movements with their Kendo Cells)
Spirits Of The Orikami, Transform!

[The suits of the Red and Yellow Rangers "fully-form over the duo.]

SUNASU:
Kanizars!

[As a dozen Kanizars materialize, the two rangers start to battle them with their Kendo Razors. The Yellow Ranger tries her best to hold off the Aykasi and six of the Kanizars, but Sunasu starts to overpower her. Meanwhile, the Red Ranger, battling the other six Kanizars, starts to tire out.]

RED KENDO RANGER:
(tossing the Shogun Morpher)
Sierra! Catch!

YELLOW KENDO RANGER:
(catching the morpher)
Right! Spirit Of The Shogun Orikami!

[The white coat forms over the Yellow Ranger's body.]

YELLOW SHOGUN RANGER:
(as she places the Shogun Morpher onto her Kendo Razor)
Shogun Razor!

[The Yellow Ranger inserts the Yellow Disc into the Shogun Morpher part, and spins the Power Disc that is on the hilt of the razor.]

Shogun Rock Sword!

[The Yellow Ranger charges her Shogun Razor, and slices through Sunasu to defeat him. His hold on the citizens is broken.]

INT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-ORIKAMI VILLAGE-BASE-DAY
[The four remaining team members quickly recover, and head to the city to join their comrades in battle.]

EXT.-CITY-PLAZA-DAY
[Sunasu enlarges as the four other rangers arrive.]

[Eleven of the twelve Kendozords are called upon, and soon arrive.]

Kendozords, Spirit Fusion!

[The eleven Kendozords join together.]

Kendo Ultrazord, Full Power!

[Sunasu tries his best to make the Ultrazord spark, but the Aykasi's attacks are not even making a dent in the massive megazord.]

RED KENDO RANGER:
Kendo Mega Saber!

[The Ultrazord tries to uses it's sword, but Sunasu is too quick in dodging the attack.]

YELLOW SHOGUN RANGER:
I got an idea!

[The Yellow Ranger leaves the main cockpit, and returns to the cockpit of the Monkey Kendozord, as it detaches from the Ultrazord.]

Hey, you! You're about to get spoon-fed a heaping helping of Orikami energy!

[The Monkey Kendozord holds Sunasu down as the Ultrazord prepares it's finisher.]

ALL RANGERS:
Orikami Power Blast!

[The Ultrazord swings the Kendo Mega Saber counter-clockwise to activate the finisher. The cannon on top of the Ultrazord fires as the Orikami energies from the Kendozords charge at the Aykasi to blow it to bits. The team celebrates in the cockpit. As the six team members start their journey back to the village, Dimitri asks Sierra about what he had heard.]

DIMITRI FEDOROV:
Sierra...are you really thinking about leaving the team?

SIERRA CROFT:
No...not anymore. I will be the Yellow Ranger until the end.

DIMITRI FEDOROV:
Good. 'Cause we need you here with us.

MEGAN NOIMI:
Yeah!

INT.-PURGATORY-RIVER STYX-SHIP-DAY
[Jigara isn't happy as he discovers that the rangers have foiled another one of his plans.]

OCTO:
So, the rangers foiled us again?

JIGARA:
(laughing maniacally)
Don't be so sure of yourself, Octo...everything is going according to plan.

OCTO:
Plan!?

[Octo looks even more concerned as Jigara leaves the room.]

EXT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-ORIKAMI VILLAGE-BASE-DAY
[The team trains with their dowel rods. Eddie trains with Dimitri, and bests him when Dimitri remembers Sanzu's words.]

voice of SANZU:
You are weak, Red Ranger...you have to rely on the other rangers to help you! It will be your downfall, Red Ranger!

[Dimitri then kind of snaps out of his "funk" and bests Eddie.]

DIMITRI FEDOROV:
I'm sorry, Eddie!

[Dimitri then runs off into the base.]

EDDIE CALLAHAN:
You know...I'm worried about him.

MEGAN NOIMI:
We all are, Eddie.

[The remaining five team members show their look of concern.]

INT.-PURGATORY-RIVER STYX-SHIP-DAY
[Iod and Octo talk while the Kodas "sing."]

IOD:
Octo...I believe that it is time for Crustacea to return to the ship.

OCTO:
I agree, my lord...but how do we get her back?

IOD:
She had left due to her guitar being broken...and that snake, promised her to fix it for a fee. Try to get the guitar back from Jigara...I...will fix it, and she will return to the ship...where she belongs!

[The angry Iod stands up, and whacks a couple Kodas down from the ceiling.]

I said...shut up!

[Iod exits the room, leaving Octo to prepare.]

EXT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-NIGHT
[Crustacea and her companion Koda walk. The koda's "singing" reminds Crustacea of her guitar, and of when she was known as the human, "Stacy."]

EXT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-QUARRY-DAY
[Early the next morning, Octo and Jigara talk about Crustacea and her guitar.]

OCTO:
Jigara...Iod knows about you stalling on the repairs of Crustacea's guitar.

JIGARA:
I will repair it when I have the time, Octo. You can tell "the pathetic lord Iod" that it will be fixed once the rangers are finished.

OCTO:
(angered)
You do not talk about our leader like that!

[Jigara starts battling Octo.]

JIGARA:
(infuriated)
You know that he is just as weak as the rangers...having to depend on others to do his dirty work...forcing you and the others to follow his orders! Crustacea and Sanzu work on their own for me!

[The two Stygians continue their fight.]

INT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-ORIKAMI VILLAGE-BASE-DAY
[The team is sitting around, still worried about Dimitri's mind-set. Suddenly, the sensor alarm rings...Jigara and Octo's battle has set it off.]

EXT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-QUARRY-DAY
[During a respite in their battle, Jigara recites a spell as he sprinkles a powdery substance into a red fissure in the rocks. The spell turns the sky a fiery orange as Crustacea and Octo arrive in the area.]

CRUSTACEA:
I demand to know why you have not fixed my guitar, Jigara!

JIGARA:
I have not had the time, Crustacea.

CRUSTACEA:
Liar! You have had plenty of time!

JIGARA:
Okay, okay...the problem is that...I cannot fix it.

CRUSTACEA:
You should have told me!

[Crustacea battles Jigara briefly, until he overpowers her, and knocks her down. Suddenly, the six rangers arrive, and prepare to battle the villains.]

GOLD KENDO RANGER:

ALL RANGERS:
Charge!

[The rangers charge into battle against Jigara with their bladed weapons. During the battle, Jigara uses Crustacea's guitar as a shield, but it is too little to help him. Jigara withdraws a bit and the rangers relax for a couple minutes...that is...until Iod arrives.]

RED KENDO RANGER:
Iod!

IOD:
Hello, Power Rangers!

[The rangers look horrified as Iod moves towards them while petrifying a little bit.]

Welcome to your final battle!

[Iod uses his sword to send massive fireballs to fry everyone. He then goes to battle Jigara, who ditches the guitar, and retreats.]

RED KENDO RANGER:
(as he installs his Red Disc onto his Kendo Razor)
We're not done here, Iod! You're mine!

IOD:
Come get some!

RED KENDO RANGER:
Gladly!

[The Red Ranger charges toward Iod, but the Stygian leader grabs the Red Ranger's Kendo Razor, and slices it in two with his sword.]

GREEN KENDO RANGER:
No, way! He broke Dimitri's Kendo Razor!

BLUE KENDO RANGER:
Let's get in there and help him!

[The other rangers charge in with their bladed weapons, but are deflected by Iod as he pretrifies a bit more.]

RED KENDO RANGER:
My sword may be damaged, but I am not!

[The Red Ranger takes out the Shogun Morpher and opens it up. He then installs the Shogun Disc into the device, and closes it up.]

Spirit Of The Shogun Orikami!

[The white coat forms over the Red Ranger's body.]

RED SHOGUN RANGER:
Spirit Of The Blazing Warrior! Red Shogun Ranger!

[The Red Ranger installs the Cannon Disc onto the Bullzooka to activate it.]

Bullzooka! Charge Up!

[The Red Ranger then installs his Shogun Razor into the Bullzooka.]

Super Bullzooka! Fire!

[Iod blocks the blast from the Super Bullzooka. Soon, the two leap up into the air, and battle...sword versus cannon. Iod briefly binds the Red Ranger, then slices at him. The Red Ranger falls to the ground. Iod then lands a few feet away from him.]

IOD:
Sanzu is right, Red Ranger...you are weak for having to depend on the other power brats!

RED SHOGUN RANGER:
Funny...that's what Jigara said about you!

IOD:
(angerly)
What!

[Iod then slices his sword at the Red Ranger, who cackles in red lightning bolts as explosions errupt behind him. As the Red Ranger groans in pain, a plume of white smoke erupts before him before the Red Ranger collapses to the ground, and is forced out of morph.]

ALL OTHER RANGERS:
(yelling with concern)
Dimitri!

[The other rangers rush to Dimitri's side to help him. Meanwhile, Iod petrifies a little bit more, and helps Crustacea fix his guitar. As the three villains depart.]

OCTO:
Here, rangers...have some Super Ibizars!

BLUE SHOGUN RANGER:

Let's take care of these freaks...Sierra...stay with him!

YELLOW KENDO RANGER:

REMAINING CORE RANGERS:

[The Superzord uses it's Lobster Swords to slice twice.]

GOLD KENDO RANGER:
Toro Firepower! Toro Blast!

[The megazord blasts with it's Toro Battery, then uses the "head-cannon" to blast. All the Super Ibizars are defeated. Soon after the minions' destruction, the remaining rangers rejoin Sierra on the ground.]

MEGAN NOIMI:
Come on...let's get him to Nala!

[All five help Dimitri back to the village.]

INT.-PURGATORY-RIVER STYX-NIGHT
[That night, Iod must submerge himself in the River Styx to rehydrate, and regain his strength as Crustacea and Octo look on with concern.]

CRUSTACEA:
Now what happens, Octo?

OCTO:
I do not know, Crustacea...but it will take him a while to regenerate.

CRUSTACEA:
A while is what we do not have with Jigara and Sanzu out there to thwart our efforts.

[Suddenly, Jigara and Sanzu enter the room.]

JIGARA:
I, Jigara, am the new commander of this vessel and the Stygian Syndicate...and you two cannot stop me!

SANZU:
Bow to your new leader!

[Octo and Crustacea nervously hesitate.]

I said...bow!

[Sanzu laughs, and forces the two villains to bow before Jigara...they do...with force.]

JIGARA:
I am now Lord Jigara! Leader of the Stygian Syndicate!

[Jigara laughs maniacally.]

INT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-ORIKAMI VILLAGE-NALA'S HUT-NIGHT
[The team watches over Dimitri as he lays on a bed, recovering.]

EDDIE CALLAHAN:
What are we gonna do? Dimitri is the team leader!

NALA CALI:
Dimitri needs his rest right now. He won't be well enough to be able to fight for a while.

PAOLO NOIMI:
Cody...you will act as team leader until Dimitri can rejoin you in the field.

PRKW #56-The Island Incident

Based Upon:
Samurai Sentai Shinkenjaa "Act 39: The Very Urgent First Aid Emergency"
--------------------------
EXT.-ISLAND-BEACH-DAY
[Jigara inaudibly recites a spell as Crustacea, Sanzu, and six Kanizars watch.]

ENT.-ISLAND-TOWN CENTER-DAY
[Jigara's spell makes it rain black ash, that can stick to the citizens.]

BOY #1:
What is that!?

TEEN:
I don't know!

[Suddenly, ash lands on the two, and their eyes go from their regular color to black, and the two start fighting.]

INT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-ORIKAMI VILLAGE-BASE-DAY
[Paolo briefs the team about what is happening on the island.]

PAOLO NOIMI:
On that island, the citizens are somehow going insane...it may be the doing of the Stygians. I want the six of you to go there, and investigate.

[The six agree, and depart the base.]

EXT.-ISLAND-HARBOR-DAY
[The six team members arrive, and see blocked off streets, and shuttered windows along with boarded up houses...like the town was quickly abandoned. Then, they split off into three groups of two...Dimitri and Megan, Cody and Sierra, and Eddie and Logan. When some citizens see the six, they close doors, and shut their curtains.]

MEGAN NOIMI:
(concerned)
Wow! What happened here!?

DIMITRI FEDOROV:
I don't know!

[Suddenly, Eddie and Logan are pelted by a group of kids with pebbles, as Cody and Sierra try to coral a second boy, who is not affected. Meanwhile, Dimitri and Megan have to defend against the first boy and the teen, as they use sticks against them.]

EDDIE CALLAHAN:
(to the pebble pelting kids)
Hey!

CODY EGAWA:
(to the second boy)
Hold on!

SIERRA CROFT:
(to the second boy)
We just want to talk!

MEGAN NOIMI:
(to the two stick-wielding youngsters)
Put that down!

[Suddenly, Eddie and Logan run down the middle of a small two-lane street, screaming. Not too far behind them is a citizen driving a truck...trying to run the two down. Eddie and Logan try to outrun the truck, but it is gaining on them. The team use their Kendo Cells (and Solar Phone) to contact Paolo as Megan and Dimitri try to subdue the stick-wielding citizens.]

DIMITRI FEDOROV:
(seeing the black ash flakes on the teen's neck)
What is that!?

MEGAN NOIMI:
It's a black ashy substance!

voice of NALA CALI:
(using Paolo's phone)
Jigara has been known to use ash to control people...

voice of PAOLO NOIMI:
(on the phone)
...It's so he can steal their souls to raise the River Styx, and flood the mortal realm.

DIMITRI FEDOROV:
That's gotta be the cause of all the problems here!

[Suddenly, Jigara, Crustacea, and Sanzu arrive to try to thwart the rangers' hindrance...Crustacea faces Cody and Sierra by the lake...Jigara faces Eddie and Logan in the town square...and Sanzu faces Dimitri and Megan near the harbor in a divide-and-conquer scheme.]

DIMITRI FEDOROV AND MEGAN NOIMI:

EXT.-ISLAND-FORESTED AREA-LAKE-DAY
[Cody and Sierra face Crustacea.]

CODY EGAWA AND SIERRA CROFT:

[Eddie and Logan attempt to morph, but Jigara blows some of the black ash onto the two, to make them face off against each other with their Kendo Razor and Solar Dagger. Back by the lake, The Blue and Yellow Rangers use their Kendo Razors against Crustacea's daggers as they try to keep the second boy safe. Soon, the boy tries to help the rangers, but Crustacea holds him at dagger-point.]

CRUSTACEA:
Just what do you think you're gonna do, little boy!?

YELLOW KENDO RANGER:
(leaping in to protect the boy)

The NightRanger Industries Online Network would like to wish everybody out there A HAPPY HOLIDAYS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

PRESS RELEASE: Gosei Adapt named!!!

NIGHTRANGER INDUSTRIES CHOOSES NEW NAME FOR THE ADAPTATION OF SUPER SENTAI'S "TENSOU SENTAI GOSEIJAA." PRODUCTION ON "POWER RANGERS: STAR GUARDIANS" TO RESUME.

FRESNO, CA.-December 19, 2009...Production is resuming on the adaptation of Japan's Super Sentai series, "Tensou Sentai Goseijaa."

The title, "Power Rangers: Star Guardians" has been chosen in place of "Power Rangers: Geo." The Star Rangers will begin their quest to defend the Earth and wherever evil may lurk on March 5, 2010 on the affiliates of the NightRanger Industries Online Network.

The name "Geo" was intended to be used due to the ranger helmets (from a October 2009 scan) depicting geometrical shapes, and reminded fans of the 1996 series, "Power Rangers: Zeo." The halt in production came when the official pictures and information started to be revealed in December 2009.

More information is forthcoming for this adaptation series, which will take place in 2011.

PRESS RELEASE

NIGHTRANGER INDUSTRIES ADDS A NEW AFFILIATE, PUTS A TEMPORARY HALT TO PRODUCTION ON "POWER RANGERS: GEO."

FRESNO, CA.-December 4, 2009...As of yesterday, a new discussion board has joined "The N.R.I.O. (NightRanger Industries Online) Network Affiliates List. The "Ranger Core" member, "Hadouken!" invited us to join their board. Episode #53 (this week's episode) was posted along with a invitation for them to view the previous fifty-two episodes on the blog. I would like to welcome "Ranger Core" into The N.R.I.O. Network family of Discussion Boards.

In other news, production for right now has been halted on "Power Rangers: Geo." Fans of the new 2010 "Super Sentai" series, "Tensou Sentai Goseijaa," have indeed been knocked for a loop. A couple days ago, new picture scans of the Goseiger team have been released...and they do not look anything like the blurred, rumored suit pictures that have the geometrical shapes on the helmets. Due to this, the name of the series may have to be changed...although, if they have powers of fire, water, etc., then the name "Geo" may be able to stay. For right now, a decision on the new name, and names of characters (rangers, villains, etc.) and items (weapons, zords, etc.) will have to wait until more information is released on "Goseiger." March 5, 2010 is still set in stone as the premiere date for the 2010 adaptation, and the series will still be set in 2011.

I am still committed in adapting Goseiger.

SOGIZA:
Ah, the Green Ranger!

GREEN KENDO RANGER:
You're going down!

SOGIZA:
Think again!

[Sogiza is struck multiple times, but the Green Ranger's Kendo Razor blade breaks.]

GREEN KENDO RANGER:
(looking at his weapon)
What!? He broke the blade!

YELLOW KENDO RANGER:
Dimitri! Can I borrow the Shogun Morpher?

[The Red Ranger takes out the Shogun Morpher and Hands it to the Yellow Ranger, who then opens it up. She then installs the Shogun Disc into the device, and closes it up.]

Yes!

[Suddenly, Sogiza revives, and grows.]

GOLD KENDO RANGER:
Lumina, Shine Brightly!

[Lumina grows to megazord size.]

ALL RANGERS:
We Summon The Spirits Of The Orikami!

[The Kendo Superzord starts to form.]

Kendo Superzord, Lockdown!

[Lumina ejects a giant Spin Disc, but Sogiza deflects it, then goes spinning through more buildings.]

SOGIZA:
(taunting while he spins)
A round, and round I go, where I stop, nobody knows!

[Lumina then charges, but is deflected. Sogiza then spins toward the Superzord to attack.]

BLUE KENDO RANGER:
Here he comes!

RED KENDO RANGER:
Brace for impact!

[Sogiza strikes the Superzord, which goes down in a hail of blue lightning bolts and sparks. The six rangers try to grab their control sticks to recover. Sogiza then comes to a stop as Lumina holds the Aykasi.]

Form the Ultrazord!

[The other Kendozords arrive as the Superzord breaks apart. The eleven Kendozords join together.]

ALL RANGERS:
Kendo Ultrazord, Full Power!

SOGIZA:
(as he punches Lumina out of the way)
Get off of me, you overgrown light bulb!

[The Ultrazord moves into position as Lumina shrinks down to it's small lantern size. Sogiza tries to spin through the massive megazord, but is deflected away. The six rangers draw out (or in the Gold Ranger's case, pressing buttons) the symbols of their Kendozords.]

ALL RANGERS:
Orikami Power Blast!

[The Ultrazord swings the Kendo Mega Saber counter-clockwise to activate the finisher. The cannon on top of the Ultrazord fires as the Orikami energies from the Kendozords charge at Sogiza to blow him to bits. The team celebrates in the cockpit.]

INT.-CITY-RIO MESA CAFE-NIGHT
[The cafe readies for dinner service.]

LOGAN KINIGSTON:
Sir, everything is ready for dinner service.

CAFE OWNER:
Good...good.

LOGAN KINGSTON:
Um...I thought about my possible promotion...and...I am not ready yet to be a co-owner of the cafe. I am happy where I am at now.

CAFE OWNER:
Well...it is your decision, and I agree with it. Let's start the service.

[With that, the dinner service gets underway...with some help from the other team members.]

INT.-PURGATORY-RIVER STYX-SHIP-NIGHT
[The villains are upset at their latest loss.]

INT.-CITY-RIO MESA CAFE-NIGHT
[After the service, the team sit down to eat their own plates of moist chicken breast and curry rice.]

[The six continue to enjoy their dinner.]
