Original Episode ------------------------------------- EXT.-CITY-PARK-DAY [The team sits around a picnic table in the park, enjoying the morning under a shady tree. Sierra seems to be in a bit of a dejected mood, as she is thinking about her long lost sister. The others see this and try to comfort her.] MEGAN NOIMI: Sierra...what's wrong? SIERRA CROFT: I'm just thinking about my sister. DIMITRI FEDOROV: Do you know her name? SIERRA CROFT: Yeah...Dakota...Dakota Sullivan. DIMITRI FEDOROV: You know...that girl that I helped earlier in the school year...who is the same girl that you helped a few weeks ago is named Dakota Sullivan. SIERRA CROFT: (shocked) What!? LOGAN KINGSTON: It might be a coincidence... CODY EGAWA: ...You know...the local library has a massive database on their computers. You can check there for information...or at least narrow down the search. MEGAN NOIMI: Great...Sierra and I will go there. [Sierra now changes moods from dejected to hopeful.] INT.-PURGATORY...

It is with regret that I must cancel the mini-series that was to be posted after "Power Rangers: Kendo Warriors." It was to be called "Power Rangers: Morphin Heroes." I just do not have the time to write the mini-series, and feel that there will not be any time at all to post it due to the fact that once the first of the year rolls around, I will be busy writing the final PRKW episodes, and preparing for the next series. As compensation (and I already know that it isn't much), the Shinkenger movie plot has been announced...I may combine that plot with my own PRND/PRKW team-up plot, and post that. I expect a two or three part episode. NEXT WEEK (July 31): Episode #25 "Sister Search" and the August 'Ranger News & Views' newsletter will be posted. FUTURE: The planned movement of the postings to Early-Saturdays has been officially cancelled.

Logan tells his teammates about how he found the Gold Ranger powers and his two Kendozords.] LOGAN KINGSTON: Three months ago, during Spring Break, I went to England to visit some relatives. One day, I decided to go on a hike, and found a cave. I entered it. Once inside, I found my Gold Disc on a stalagmite, and it changed my cell-phone into the Solar Phone, and it transformed me into the Gold Ranger. Once my new powers were granted to me, I guess I accidentally released Apolox. and then released my two Kendozords. INT.-PURGATORY-RIVER STYX-SHIP-DAY [Octo approaches Iod to ask him a favor.] OCTO: Lord Iod...I was wondering if I can ask of a favor? IOD: What is it, my friend?

INT.-PURGATORY-RIVER STYX-SHIP-DAY [Iod welcomes Yakuya on board the vessel.] IOD: Welcome aboard Yakuya. I want you to go into the city to destroy it. What are your abilities?

With the upcoming Shinkenger episodes where they team up with the Kamen Rider Decade characters, I have decided to keep those scenes out of PRKW for the August episodes. Also in August, the 28th to be exact (for the PR anniversary), will be a two-part episode entitled "Pink Secrets," where Megan Noimi/Pink Kendo Ranger will learn who she really is...expect a emotion-filled episode.
