-----------------------------------------------------------------------
INT.-CITY-RIO MESA CAFE-DAY
[Sierra and Dakota sit down at a table, ready to eat some burgers and some fries.]

DAKOTA SULLIVAN:
Well, Happy Birthday, sis...my treat!

[After a minute or two, Sierra seems a little bit depressed, as her fellow rangers are not there.]

What's wrong?

SIERRA CROFT:
(a bit depressed)
I wish my friends were here to celebrate with us.

[Sierra stirs her soda slowly with her straw, and has the other hand on her cheek.]

INT.-PURGATORY-RIVER STYX-SHIP-DAY
[The four villains eavesdrop on the girls.]

CRUSTACEA:
Ah, it's the Yellow Ranger's birthday!

SANZU:
And I have just the perfect present. This is Utaka...the thief of souls!

IOD:
It will be a present that she'll never forget!

EXT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-ORIKAMI VILLAGE-BASE-DAY
[The rest of the team along with Paolo and Nala set up a surprise birthday party for Sierra at the picnic table outside.]

MEGAN NOIMI:
This will be a great party for Sierra!

CODY EGAWA:
Her sweet sixteen!

PAOLO NOIMI:
In the village, turning the age of sixteen is a rite of passage into adulthood.

[The alarms ring out.]

DIMITRI FEDOROV:
Time to go to work!

[The five depart for the city.]

EXT.-CITY-RIO MESA CAFE-DAY
[Sierra and Dakota exit the business, and run into Sanzu, Utaka, and a bunch of Kanizars.]

SIERRA CROFT:
Get to safety, Dakota!

DAKOTA SULLIVAN:
Me!? What about you!?

SIERRA CROFT:
I'll be fine!

DAKOTA SULLIVAN:
No! I don't want to lose you again!

SIERRA CROFT:
(taking her Kendo Cell out of her pocket, and preparing it)
Okay. Stay close!

DAKOTA SULLIVAN:
What's that?

SIERRA CROFT:
A little power boost! Spirits Of The Orikami, Transform!

[The Yellow Ranger suit "fully-forms" over Sierra's body, leaving Dakota in a state of shock.]

YELLOW KENDO RANGER:
Spirit Of Earth! Yellow Kendo Ranger!

DAKOTA SULLIVAN:
You're a Power Ranger!

[The other four core rangers (already morphed) leap in to help out.]

EXT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-DAY
[On the edge of the forest, Logan races toward the city. Suddenly, he is stopped by Sanzu.]

SANZU:
So...I finally get a chance to take on the Gold Ranger one on one!

LOGAN KINGSTON:
(preparing his Solar Phone)
You want a piece of me!? Spirits Of The Orikami, Transform!

[The Gold Ranger suit fully-forms over Logan's body. Soon, the two charge into battle...blade-to-blade.]

EXT.-CITY-RIO MESA CAFE-DAY
[The five core rangers continue to battle with their Kendo Razors. The Green and Yellow Rangers battle Utaka as the other three battle the Kanizars.]

GREEN KENDO RANGER:
We got to get this guy!

YELLOW KENDO RANGER:
Yeah!

[Soon, Utaka presses his palm over the top portion of the Yellow Ranger's helmet.]

UTAKA:
Soul Theft!

[The Yellow Ranger gets weak as her suit shatters from her body. As the other rangers come to their comrade's aid, the Red Ranger speaks to Utaka.]

RED KENDO RANGER:
(pointing his Kendo Razor's blade tip at Utaka)
Rekindle!

[A bolt of red energy is fired from the sword, and hits Utaka before he vanishes.]

GREEN KENDO RANGER:
(kneeling at Sierra's side)
Come back, you coward!

RED KENDO RANGER:
He'll be back...he has no choice. But for now, let's get her back to the village.

[Suddenly, Sanzu and the Gold Ranger arrive, and take a break from their battle.]

SANZU:
The only way to save the Yellow Ranger's life, and the souls of the other citizens is to enter Purgatory, and give up your humanity...just as I did.

GREEN KENDO RANGER:
Let's go!

RED KENDO RANGER:
I'd say we'll think about it first.

INT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-ORIKAMI VILLAGE-NALA'S HUT-DAY
[The team stands around Sierra's bed, hoping for her recovery.]

EDDIE CALLAHAN:
I think it'll be good for us to take her into Purgatory.

DIMITRI FEDOROV:
I think it's a bad idea.

LOGAN KINGSTON:
Without Sierra and her Monky Kendozord, the only megazords available are the Aero Megazord, and my Lobster Kendozord...

[Logan holds up the small form of the lobster.]

...which will be able to form the Warrior Megazord.

[The sensor alarm rings...Utaka is back in the city.]

DIMITRI FEDOROV:
Told 'ya he'll be back!

[The five depart for the city.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[The five rangers arrive already morphed, and ready to battle Utaka.]

CORE RANGERS:
Kendo Razors!

GOLD KENDO RANGER:
Solar Dagger!

[The five rangers use their bladed weapons, and quickly defeat the Aykasi. Utaka grows, which prompts the Red, Blue, Green, and Gold Rangers to call on the Beetle, Marlin, Tiger, and Lobster Kendozords. The Gold Ranger enters the cockpit.]

Solar Dagger!

[The Gold Ranger places his dagger's blade into the console of the Kendozord.]

Lobster Disc! Kendozord mode!

UTAKA:
Really!? Ibizars! Avizars!

[Utaka summons an army of Ibizars and Avizars, which materialize and ready themselves. The Kendozord powers up, then the Gold Ranger removes the disc, and flips it over.]

GOLD KENDO RANGER:
Warrior Megazord! Delta Mode, Activate!

[The other three male rangers enter the cockpit of the Aero Megazord.]

RED KENDO RANGER:
Let's give him some help!

RED KENDO RANGER, BLUE KENDO RANGER, AND GREEN KENDO RANGER:
Aero Megazord, Ready To Fly!

GOLD KENDO RANGER:
Let's take him down! Lobster Sword!

[The Warrior Megazord uses it's sword to battle Utaka.]

Katana Strike!

UTAKA:
Scatter Mode!

[Utaka counters the megazord's attack by separating into many pieces, which strike the megazord.]

RED KENDO RANGER:
Logan!

[The Aero Megazord tries to provide cover for the Warrior Megazord so it can have a chance to recover.]

GOLD KENDO RANGER:
Let's shake him up! Warrior Megazord...Mode Change, Beta Mode!

[The Warrior Megazord changes it's mode to give it some more power.]

Warrior Fan!

[The megazord uses the fan to deflect the Aykasi's laser attacks, but it does not work.]

UTAKA:
Echo Sword!

[Utaka uses his sword to attack the megazords.]

GOLD KENDO RANGER:
Warrior Megazord...Mode Change, Alpha Mode!

[The megazord switches back to it's default mode.]

Crustacean Claws!

[The megazord uses the lobster claws to attack Utaka.]

Claw Reverse Strike!

[The megazord's finisher is able to make Utaka cackle in blue lightning bolts before it explodes into a massive fireball. All the stolen soul orbs (including Sierra's) are returned to their respective owners as the rangers celebrate in their cockpits.]

INT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-ORIKAMI VILLAGE-NALA'S HUT-DAY
[Sierra's soul orb returns to her body as Megan watches over her.]

NALA CALI:
She will awaken soon.

[The other four rangers arrive just as Sierra wakes up.]

SIERRA CROFT:
(confused)
What's going on?

DIMITRI FEDOROV:
Your birthday party...outside the base.

INT.-PURGATORY-RIVER STYX-SHIP-DAY
[The Stygians are upset as usual, as Sanzu watches from the shadows.]

CRUSTACEA:
What is it with these rangers!

OCTO:
We keep losing!

IOD:
Not for long...I have a plan in the works!

EXT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-ORIKAMI VILLAGE-BASE-DAY
[At the picnic tables under some party lights, the team celebrates Sierra's birthday.]

SIERRA CROFT:
Thanks, guys! You're the best friends ever!

PAOLO NOIMI:
Happy Birthday, Sierra!

[The team members all cheer as Sierra blows out the candles on her cake.]
