---------------
INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[Argo and Metalia are talking to King Gasket on the viewscreen.]

KING GASKET:
Argo...Metalia...I have chosen a suitable replacement for Yogo. Scrubius will be the lead general.

SCRUBIUS:
And I am ready to engage these so-called Power Rangers, and their partners from Machia.

[The four villains look confident.]

INT.-CITY-DOJO-DAY
[As soon as the Nitro and Defender team members walk into the closed business, Adam and Chloe approach the quintet.]

ADAM PARK:
'Bout time you guys got here...Zordon and Alpha need us at the Power Center..

RYDER SWANSON:
Let's go!

[The seven team members teleport out.]

INT.-MOUNTIANS-POWER CENTER-DAY
[The seven team members teleport in to meet with Zordon and Alpha.]

ZORDON:
Welcome, rangers.

ADAM PARK:
What's up, Zordon?

ZORDON:
During your last battle, The Nitro Defender Ultrazord fell apart..

RYDER SWANSON:
Yeah...we were wondering why that happened.

ZORDON:
Alpha and I have investigated the matter...it was not due to the battle itself. Someone interfered.

MATT SANDOVAL:
Who!?

ALPHA SIX:
Look at the viewscreen.

[The team turns to look at the viewscreen, and see a black-clad being.]

ZORDON:
That is the one who interfered.

KEIKO OGAWA:
Who is that!?

WHALE:
I'm afraid that is Scrubius. An Admiral in Gasket's forces. He is more stronger than Argo and Metalia.

CHLOE WILCOX:
What about what Yumana told me...something about a Machine Empire general stripping Magico of it's energy?

WHALE:
Each planet contains GeoCore Energies...

BRANDON CRAWFORD:
So...the planet core energies?

WHALE:
Yes. If that core energy is depleted, then the planet is essentially destroyed.

ALPHA SIX:
(checking the computers)
Aye-yai-yai! Magico...Kaleido...and Decia have been stripped of their GeoCore Energies!

ADAM PARK:
So...this Scrubius-guy destroyed three moons, and now he's here on Earth to take our GeoCore Energy?

WHALE:
I'm afraid so.

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Scrubius arrives in the city.]

SCRUBIUS:
Ah, what a planet! I'll have fun destroying it! Uh, oh! I believe the rangers are coming! Time to play!

[Scrubius phases into a wall as the seven rangers arrive.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Come on, guys! He's got to be around here somewhere!

[Suddenly, laser pellets are fired through the wall, and strike the rangers.]

GREEN DEFENDER RANGER:
What's that!?

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
Where are they coming from!?

GOLD SKY RANGER:
From that wall!

[Scrubius then exits the wall, and introduces himself.]

SCRUBIUS:
Hello, rangers!

RED NITRO RANGER:
So...you must be Scrubius.

SCRUBIUS:
Yes...now, say good-bye to your precious planet!

RED NITRO RANGER:
(as he charges the villain)
You'll have to go through us first!

[Scrubius sends the Red Ranger flying backward.]

SCRUBIUS:
You think you can defeat me!? You're weak!

RED NITRO RANGER:
That guy's powerful!

GOLD SKY RANGER:
I think we gotta retreat for now. Go, we'll cover you!

SCRUBIUS:
Ah, you little rangers don't want to play anymore!?

[The Sky Rangers use their Sky Daggers to help cover the others' escape.]

Really!?

[Scrubius overpowers the two Sky Rangers. They then run off.]

Run, cowards...run!

INT.-MECHANICO ISLAND-DAY
[Scrubius returns to the evil base.]

METALIA:
(yelling)
You messed up, Scrubius!

ARGO:
(yelling)
Yeah! You did not destroy the rangers!

SCRUBIUS:
(yelling back)
I'd like you two to do better!

[Scrubius then calms down.]

Besides...they will get theirs very soon...I'm heading back out.

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Later that morning, Ryder is walking around, thinking to himself. He then comes across a man dressed in a Santa Claus outfit.]

SANTA CLAUS:
Hello, Ryder.

RYDER SWANSON:
(thinking that the Santa is just someone dressed up)
You know me?

SANTA CLAUS:
Yes...I'm Santa.

RYDER SWANSON:
You're just someone dressed as Santa.

SANTA CLAUS:
Yes, Ryder...I am the real Santa Claus. Here!

[Santa produces a toy from when Ryder was six (1995). Ryder now believes.]

RYDER SWANSON:
Come on...let's get you to a safe location.

[The two teleport to the Power Center.]

EXT.-CITY-ROOFTOP-DAY
[The next day, Scrubius is scrubbing the city of it's Christmas decor. The Red Ranger, wearing a Santa Claus outfit, with a bag over his shoulder arrives.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
Hello, Scrubius...going somewhere!?

SCRUBIUS:
Yeah! To continue what I started!

RED NITRO RANGER:
I don't think so!

SCRUBIUS:
And who's gonna stop me? Little ol' you!?

RED NITRO RANGER:
(gently dropping the bag)
Well...

[The other six rangers pop out of the bag, and latch onto the villain in black.]

ALL:
Get him!

[G.T. then appears beside the Red Ranger.]

RED NITRO RANGER:
G.T.! Wheel Mode!

[G.T. reverts, and grows a bit, then starts spinning.]

Condor Blade! Nitrolizer!

[The two sword items materialize in the Red Ranger's hands. He then leap onto G.T., and spins rapidly toward Scrubius. The other six rangers then let go of the villain to allow G.T. to fully attack him.]

NITRO RANGERS AND DEFENDER RANGERS:
Nitrolizers! Nitro Charge!

[The rangers fire at Scrubius to knock him off balance. The Red Ranger then strikes the villain with the swords.]

SKY RANGERS:
Sky Blasters! Fire!

SCRUBIUS:
That all you got!?

RED NITRO RANGER:
Form the cannon!

[The rangers' Nitro Gear materializes in their hands, then they put the cannon together.]

ALL RANGERS:
Nitro Defender Cannon! Booster Mode!

BLACK DEFENDER RANGER:
(as he inserts Gator's Super Nitro Cell into the Lionzooka)
Inserting Cell!

ALL RANGERS:
Fire!

[The blast weakens Scrubius a little bit, but not enough.]

SCRUBIUS:
Whatever, rangers!

RED NITRO RANGER:
Maxilizer! Inserting Cells!

[The Red Ranger inserts Tyranno and Tricera's Super Nitro Cells.]

Nitrolizer! Inserting Cell!

[The Red Ranger then inserts Mammoth's Super Nitro Cell, then transforms the weapon to Baton Mode.]

Gate Slash!

[The Red Ranger swings both weapons in an "X" formation at Scrubius, then combines the two weapons.]

NitroMax Rifle!

[The Red Ranger aims the weapon at Scrubius.]

NitroMax Express!

[The Red Ranger fires the weapon...Scrubius has survived every attack that the rangers threw at him.]

No, way!

SCRUBIUS:
You guys don't play fair! I'm leaving...for now.

[Scrubius then vanishes.]

INT.-MOUNTAINS-POWER CENTER-NIGHT
[At dusk, the team returns Santa's bag to him.]

ADAM PARK:
Here you go, sir. Thanks for letting us use it.

SANTA CLAUS:
Anytime, rangers. Well...I must get back to the North Pole. Christmas is tomorrow.

[As Santa begins to depart, Global's alarms ring out. The team looks at the viewscreen with a very concerned look.]

EXT.-CITY-NIGHT
[Scrubius is continuing his plan of erasing the Christmas season from the world. TO BE CONTINUED...]
