Episode #25-Sister Search

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-RIVER STYX-SHIP-DAY
[Crustacea eavesdrops on the rangers' conversation in the park, and comes up with an idea to ruin Sierra's day even more.]

CRUSTACEA:
Lord Iod...I just heard that the Yellow Ranger is looking for her long-lost sister. I want to ruin her day by kidnapping her sister...right in front of her.

IOD:
I like your plan, Crustacea...put it into motion!

CRUSTACEA:
Yes, sir!

[Crustacea bows, the exits the room.]

EXT.-CITY-PLAZA-LIBRARY-DAY
[Later that day, on the way to the library's doors, the girls are interrupted by Crustacea and a small platoon of twelve Kanizars.]

MEGAN NOIMI:
Oh, great...the welcome wagon's arrived!

SIERRA CROFT:
Let's take them down!

[The two prepare themselves for a fight, then charge in to battle the minions. Soon later, the four male team members arrive, and help the girls. During the battle, Dakota walks towards them. She then hides behind a bush to watch the intense battle.]

DAKOTA SULLIVAN:
Those are my classmates from school!

[Within a few minutes, the six team members defeat the Kanizars, then turn their attention to Crustacea.]

CRUSTACEA:
You may have defeated my Kanizars, but you six will now have to face me!

DIMITRI FEDOROV:
No problem, crab-face!

[The six team members prepare to morph, but Crustacea then vanishes. The six talk for a couple seconds before the girls enter the library.]

INT.-PURGATORY-RIVER STYX-SHIP-DAY
[Crustacea enters the main room of the ship in a angry mood.]

CRUSTACEA:
Those pesky rangers got in the way...but I will not be defeated!

[Crustacea then turns around and departs the ship again.]

INT.-CITY-PLAZA-LIBRARY-DAY
[In the library's Reference Room, the girls look up various site pages on the Internet with a librarian's help.]

LIBRARIAN:
(handing the girls a slip of paper)
You can try this website...it's the website for California Adoption Services.

MEGAN NOIMI:
Thank you, sir.

[The girls type in the website's address, and the page pops up...and the two find the answer to Sierra's dilemma.]

Sierra...look! Here is a current picture of Dakota! It's her!

[Sierra looks, then gets teary-eyed.]

SIERRA CROFT:
It is her! Um, Megan...can I be alone for a few minutes?

MEGAN NOIMI:
Sure. Take it easy, Sierra!

EXT.-CITY-PLAZA-LIBRARY-DAY
[As Megan exits the library, Crustacea and some Kanizars watch from a short distance. Soon, Sierra exits the building.]

CRUSTACEA:
Time for my version of higher learning! Kanizars...attack!

[Sierra turns around to see the Kanizars approaching her.]

SIERRA CROFT:
Not now!

[Sierra then prepares to battle the minions, then tries her best to fight them off. Feeling the need to, she takes her Kendo Cell out of her pocket to morph.]

You're next, Crustacea!

[The five rangers summon their Orikami Spirits, and convert them into Animal Mode from Emblem Mode. Suddenly, the giant-sized Doublis tries to squash them, but they roll away to safety.

ALL RANGERS:
We Summon The Spirits Of The Orikami!

[The small Orikami Spirits grow into giant Kendozords. During the transformation, the rangers are enveloped in their zords. In their individual cockpits, the rangers remove their black Kendo Discs, and install them onto the Kendo Razors, and insert the weapons (blade down) into their control panels.]

Mini-series Information

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.

Episode #24-The Slippery Aykasi

Based Upon:
Samurai Sentai Shinkenjaa "Act 19: Learning the Samurai Disposition"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
INT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-ORIKAMI VILLAGE-DAY
[The six team members finally have a chance to sit and talk. 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?

OCTO:
I would like to take my turn at summoning an Aykasi? Maybe it will be able to defeat the rangers.

IOD:
What Aykasi do you have in mind?

OCTO:
Onogo!

[As Onogo comes aboard the ship, Octo tells Iod of it's abilities.]

Onogo is able to slip through any attack.

I am pleased...but I'm warning you...don't fail!

Spirits Of The Orikami! Transform!

[The suits "flash-form" over the two. The two rangers then help the troop as the Blue Ranger tries to call the others.]

OCTO:
(attacking with his staff)
Sorry, but your call cannot be completed at this time!

[The rangers look at Octo.]

My forcefield is blocking your signals from reaching the other rangers! Besides...you can watch my plan to sacrifice the souls of these citizens in order to make the River Styx flood into the surface world!

And I have your instructor lined up.

Also, Rangertalk is starting to shutdown (may turn into something else), and Otaku Hero has re-started with only about a couple dozen members, the two boards are placed on hiatus from the network, and postings of PRKW have ended for them. Both may be back next season. I wish all their members well in their future endeavors.

We got to defeat this guy!

Come on everyone!

[Isagi then moves his hands and arms around mysterious-like, and creates some ghostly forms to attack the trio, but they are easily defeated by the Kendo Razor-wielding trio.]

RED KENDO RANGER:
(as he charges in)
This guy's mine!

[The Red Ranger charges in, but quickly loses his stamina, and trips up in front of the Aykasi.]

ISAGI:
(laughing)
I thought you were the more powerful ranger? Guess not! Leaf Sword!

[Isagi's sword materializes in his right hand, and proceeds to hold it over the Red Ranger's hand.]

You will never defeat the Stygian Syndicate...and I will make sure of that!

[Isagi begins to bring the sword down to try and decapitate the Red Ranger...until the two other rangers arrive to help with their Kendo Razors already drawn.]

I don't think so, Isagi!

Gotcha, rangers!

[The rangers' attacks exit the portal, and hit them from behind. The rangers spark, flail, and collapse, but the team quickly recovers.

You are now the Powerless Rangers!

[Suddenly, paper darts attack Isagi to make him spark.]

What!? Who dares to interrupt me!?

Time for you to be destroyed, Isagi!

ISAGI:

[The Gold Ranger leaps off of the cliff to land between the rest of the team and Isagi.]

Kanizars...attack!

[Several dozen Kanizars materialize in a blur, and charge at the Gold Ranger, who prepares by grabbing the Solar Dagger. The minions just phase right through him. The Gold Ranger then pulls the blade from the sheath a bit, then re-sheathes the weapon. The Kanizars cackle in gold lightning bolts, and explode.]

GOLD KENDO RANGER:
Next!?

[More Kanizars are then summoned to attack the Gold Ranger, but he removes his Solar Dagger from his back, and unsheathes the weapon.]

Solar Dagger!

[The Gold Ranger slices right through each Kanizar in blinding speed. More Kanizars arrive in the trees with their bows, and fire arrows at the Gold Ranger, who slices every arrow in half. As he sheathes the weapon, the arrows fall in the water.]

It's not nice to pick on the new guy!

[The Gold Ranger then leaps up to battle the treed Kanizars. As the others approach, he defeats the minions...then senses danger as Isagi slices through some tree trunks to make them fall onto the Gold Ranger, but he recovers.]

ISAGI:
Tired of the trees? Have some boulders!

[The Aykasi uses the boulders to attack the Gold Ranger, but Dimitri charges in.]

RED KENDO RANGER:
(after insta-morphing)
Logan! Look out!

[The Red Ranger uses his fire powers to destroy the boulders as the other rangers insta-morph as well. The Gold Ranger then reaches into his belt buckle to retrieve his Gold Disc, and places it onto his weapon.]

On the ground, the Gold Ranger reaches into his belt buckle to retrieve the purple Squid Disc, then opens up his Solar Phone, and presses 9-9-9, and the left command button.

[The three villains contemplate their next move while reminiscing about old times...and a friend named Apolox.]

CRUSTACEA:
You know who is missing? Apolox!

Last we heard, he was in the British Isles fighting the Gold Ranger!

IOD:
Yes...and when he was sealed, he took the Gold Ranger's powers with him!

EXT.-ENGLAND-FOREST-DAY (THREE MONTHS AGO)
[During Spring Break, a fellow student of the Kendo Ranger team members, Logan Kingston is in England visiting relatives. He has decided to take his backpack and a walking stick, and go on a quiet hike through the forest. Soon, he comes upon a large cave opening, and enters.]

INT.-ENGLAND-FOREST-CAVE-DAY (THREE MONTHS AGO)
[Once a bit inside the cave, Logan comes to an open area bathed in sunlight, coming from an opening in the roof, shining onto a stalagmite table-like pillar on the ground near a small lake.]

LOGAN KINGSTON:
Whoa! This is cool!

[As Logan gets closer to the stalagmite, he sees a red and white disc-like object stuck onto a small protrusion on the stalagmite. In awe, Logan takes his cell-phone to take a picture.]

I got a snap a pic of this for everyone back home!

[As Logan gets ready to take the picture, the disc glows a golden hue, and removes itself from the protrusion, and sticks to the back of Logan's phone, and changes the phone's form, then folds up on it's own.]

Hey! That's my phone!

[The phone glows again as a small purple and white squid along with a small gold and blue lobster rise up from the underground lake, and approach Logan.]

SOLAR PHONE VOICE:
You, Logan Kingston are the heir to the prophesied Golden Spirit Of Light.

[Logan looks confused until a more sinister voice is heard from the darkness.]

APOLOX:
And since you released the Spirit of Light, you will have to face me!

[The voice shows his identity.]

I am Apolox...the master Aykasi warrior of the Stygian Syndicate!

[Logan, along with the squid and lobster look a bit afraid.]

SOLAR PHONE VOICE:
You are the prophecy...you are now a Power Ranger!

[Logan opens the phone up, and looks at the screen as it glows a golden hue. Suddenly, the Gold Ranger suit "flash-forms" over his body. As the Gold Ranger marvels at his new powers, Apolox retrieves his sword and charges at the Gold Ranger, but he counters by grabbing onto his Solar Dagger to defend himself.]

GOLD KENDO RANGER:
Solar Dagger!

[A brief sword-fight ensues through the cave before Apolox swings his sword to cause a rock-slide at the cave entrance to trap the Gold Ranger inside.]

No!

APOLOX:
(laughing maniacally)
You will never bother me again, Gold Ranger! Never!

CRUSTACEA:
You're free!

APOLOX:
Yes...someone came along and released the Gold Ranger powers...and me along with them.

OCTO:
What about the Gold Ranger? We already have five rangers to deal with!

APOLOX:
And you will...I caused a cave-in, trapping him three months ago! And...as a gift to you, I offer my services in battling the other five rangers.

IOD:
As you wish.

[As Apolox departs, Iod ponders his claims of defeating the Gold Ranger.]

Apolox...wait. Octo...summon Isagi onto the ship. I want the two to double-team the rangers.

[The four await the next Aykasi to come aboard.]

EXT.-CITY-PLAZA-DAY
[The five team members sit at an outdoor cafe, discussing the last days of the school year. Soon, the five stand up in time to see a black blur speeding toward them.]

DIMITRI FEDOROV:
What's that!? Prepare to morph, guys!

[The speeding blur knocks the quintet off of their feet as they try to morph.]

ALL:
Whoa!

[The team recovers to their feet, and ready their Kendo Cells, and convert them to PDA Mode. The five draw their symbols out in front of them, then press the morph button to transform.]

Spirits Of The Orikami!

[The five touch their symbols to turn them around as they press the morph button.]

Transform!

[The suits "fully-form" over the quintet.]

RED KENDO RANGER:
(posing)
Spirit Of Fire! Red Kendo Ranger!

BLUE KENDO RANGER:
(posing)
Spirit Of Water! Blue Kendo Ranger!

PINK KENDO RANGER:
(posing)
Spirit Of Air! Pink Kendo Ranger!

GREEN KENDO RANGER:
(posing)
Spirit Of Wood! Green Kendo Ranger!

YELLOW KENDO RANGER:
(posing)
Spirit Of Earth! Yellow Kendo Ranger!

ALL RANGERS:
(posing)
We Are The Protectors Of Earth! Power Rangers: Kendo Warriors!

[The blur reveals his true form as he stops in his tracks (with his back turned toward the rangers).]

APOLOX:
I see that I found the costumed power freaks!

[Apolox then turns to face the five rangers.]

RED KENDO RANGER:
Who are you!?

APOLOX:
I am Apolox...the last Aykasi that you will ever face!

RED KENDO RANGER:
We'll see about that!

ALL RANGERS:
(as they open their belt buckles, retrieve the Power Disc, and place them onto the hilts of their...)
Kendo Razors!

[The rangers utilize their sidearms against the Aykasi's sword.]

APOLOX:
I am a master Aykasi warrior of the Stygian Syndicate!

[Apolox continues to attack the five rangers, who counter with their sword attacks, which have little-to-no effect. The team then opens up their belt buckles to retrieve their individual Kendo Discs, and place them onto the hilts of the Kendo Razors.]

RED KENDO RANGER:
(powering up his Kendo Razor)
Fire Sword!

BLUE KENDO RANGER:
(powering up his Kendo Razor)
Water Flow Sword!

PINK KENDO RANGER:
(powering up her Kendo Razor)
Sky Sword!

GREEN KENDO RANGER:
(powering up his Kendo Razor)
Wood Sword!

YELLOW KENDO RANGER:
(powering up her Kendo Razor)
Rock Sword!

[The five then open up their belt buckles again, and retrieve their Electro Discs, and install them onto the hilts of their Kendo Razors.]

ALL RANGERS:
Kendo Razors...power up! Lightning Attack!

[The five rangers all swing their Kendo Razors to slice through Apolox with their attack, but the Aykasi brushes it off. Soon, Isagi arrives, and joins Apolox' side.]

ISAGI:
I'll finish off these clowns for you Apolox.

APOLOX:
Be my guest!

[Apolox starts to leave the scene.]

RED KENDO RANGER:
Eddie....Sierra...follow and take care of Apolox. Cody, Megan, and I will take out Isagi.

ALL RANGERS:
Right!

[The rangers split up and go their separate ways...the Red, Blue, and Pink Rangers depart for the forest to battle Isagi as the Green and Yellow Rangers prepare to battle Apolox with their weapons. As Apolox charges in with his sword, and attack the two rangers, who battle them with their Kendo Razors. The two spin their Power Discs to transform their swords into their secondary weapons. Then they reach into their belt buckles, and pull out their colored Kendo Discs, and install them onto the weapons.]

GREEN KENDO RANGER:
(installing the disc, posing with the weapon)
Wood Spear!

YELLOW KENDO RANGER:
(installing the disc, posing with the weapon)
Geo Slicer!

[The two prepare to attack the Aykasi warrior with their secondary weapons.]

GOLD KENDO RANGER:
Spirit Of Light!

[A blur of golden light swoops down and takes out Apolox, who is on the ground for the two other rangers.]

YELLOW KENDO RANGER:
What was that!?

GREEN KENDO RANGER:
I don't know, but it made our job easier! Spinning Spear!

YELLOW KENDO RANGER:
Seismic Strike!

[The two rangers destroy Apolox, who cackles in blue lightning bolts, and explodes. After the explosion, the two are still a bit in shock when they realize that someone took out Apolox for them. The two then see a note on the ground.]

YELLOW KENDO RANGER:
What's that?

GREEN KENDO RANGER:
Let's see...it says "We will meet soon."

YELLOW KENDO RANGER:
Soon?

GREEN KENDO RANGER:
(still looking at the note)
Whoever or whatever that was...they did us a favor.

EXT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-DAY
[The other three rangers have a rough time with Isagi. TO BE CONTINUED...]

Ranger News And Views (July 2009)

HELLO RANGER FANS! Welcome to the July issue of the monthly newsletter, "Ranger News & Views." Grab a smoothie from the Juice Bar, sit back, and enjoy!
------------------------------------------
MY ADAPTATIONS (Power Rangers: Kendo Warriors):
PRKW is still progressing well, as we are now about one-third of the way through the season. 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.

Upcoming episodes:
>July 3-PRKW #20: The Golden Light, Part 1 [Original Episode]
>July 3-PRKW #21: The Golden Light, Part 2 [Act 17: Sushi Samurai]
>July 10-PRKW #22: Pomp And Circumstance [Original Episode]
>July 17-PRKW #23: The Two-Sword Technique [Act 18: Samurai Promotion]
>July 24-PRKW #24: The Slippery Aykasi [Act 19: Learning The Samurai Disposition]
>July 31-PRKW #25: Sister Search [Original Episode]

NRIO AFFILIATION UPDATE:
Well, only after a month of rejoining Power Ranger Empire and Otaku Hero Access, the two boards decided to make some changes...Power Ranger Empire has decided to move away from the ranger genre, and become "Cartoon Empire." Thus, their affiliation with NRIO has ended.

Otaku Hero Access (for now, anyway) has merged with Rangertalk. Also, on June 24, we were invited to join Rangers United. I want to say to the administrator of "RU," thank you for the invite.

Here is an update on Power Rangers United...after receiving some private messages from the moderators on the matter, it seems like there will be no change.
------------------------------------------------
SAMURAI SENTAI SHINKENJAA:
Now that ShinkenGold has joined the team, the series can move on...with a teaming up with characters from Kamen Rider Decade. This will happen in Act #20 (July 5), and possibly Act #21 (July 19), and the Kamen Rider Decade episode on July 12.

Here is a list of Shinkenger episodes for July.
>July 5-Act 20: Ebi Origami Transformation
>July 12-Preempted...no episode.
>July 19-Act 21: Title TBA
>July 28-Act 22: Title TBA
--------------------------------------
SUPER SENTAI 2010 RUMOR MILL:
It did not take long for the first "bug-theme" rumor to surface. Bugs mixed with trains...including a Red Ranger picture. Some other rumors will have a "Ghostbusters" feel or a cybernetic influence.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
POWER RANGERS RPM:
Based on the 2008 Super Sentai, Enjin Sentai Go-onjaa, PRRPM is continuing on, with the debuts of Rangers Series Gold and Series Silver (aka Gem and Gemma). The two will be a welcome addition to the team...once they learn a little bit of teamwork.

In August, Judd Lynn takes over as Executive Producer, so there are only two "Eddie Guezelian" episodes left.

Here is a list of the episodes coming to ABC Kids in the United States this month. Please check your local listings and "Power Rangers On-Air Central" by BurgundyRanger for a complete ABC Affiliate list and his other goodies.:
>July 4-PRRPM #16: In Or Out
>July 11-PRRPM #17: Prisoners
>July 18-Preempted...no episode (British Open Golf).
>July 25-Preempted...no episode (E/I Recovery).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MISCELLANEOUS:
It has been announced that "Power Morphicon II" will take place in Summer 2010 in Los Angeles California. If it is anything like the first one in 2007, a good time will be had by those attending. There will be guests, discussion panels, Cosplay (fans dressed up) players in home-made ranger suits, and much more.

Guests announced so far include crew members Cheryl Saban (Writer), Doug Sloan (Executive Producer), Scott Page-Pagter (Porto), along with Rajia Baroudi (Delphine), Paul Schrier (Bulk), Steve Cardenas (Rocky), and Jason David Frank (Tommy).

More information is coming soon!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That it for this month. As with Shinkenger (along with Kendo Warriors) and R.P.M., all rumors are subject to change, and are considered rumor until it is confirmed. I will post another RN&V Newsletter on or around August 1, 2009, and the PRKW scripts will continue every Friday as scheduled.

MAY THE POWER PROTECT YOU ALL!
