>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 slowly progressing on the adaptation of Japan's Super Sentai series, "Tensou Sentai Goseijaa."

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.

THE STAR RANGERS-
Officer Heath Regan (Red Star Ranger)
Officer Diego Maxa (Black Star Ranger)
Officer Aquios (Blue Star Ranger)
Officer Melissa Crenshaw (Pink Star Ranger)
Officer Kyrie Maxa (Yellow Star Ranger)
-----------------------------------------------
SUPER SENTAI ("SAMURAI SENTAI SHINKENJAA"):
Only one episode remains in the series...the final act. Juzo is gone, and Dokoku has returned...at full power. Do the Shinkenger have what it takes to stop the Gedoshu?

UPCOMING EPISODES-
FEB 07- #49 "Act 49: Title TBA (2)"
---------------------------------------------
SUPER SENTAI 2010 ("TENSO SENTAI GOSEIJAA"):
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!

And you are weaker without your human side!

You and your ranger friends took that from me! And for that, you shall pay!

[Sanzu recovers enough to attack Paolo, but Dimitri blocks the strike with his sword.]

Leave him alone, Sanzu! Your fight is with me!

CODY EGAWA:
I need to...um...clear some things up first. You guys go ahead.

BLUE SHOGUN RANGER:
We're still in the fight, guys!

[Paolo greets Talia with open arms.]

PAOLO NOIMI:
Welcome home, Talia.

TALIA NOIMI:
(looking at the monitors)

(seeing that Talia wants to help, but he is hesitant)
Okay...be careful!

TALIA NOIMI:
I will, father...that Aykasi will be destroyed!

[Talia departs the base for the city.]

EXT.-CITY-PARK-DAY
[Dimitri, who is still propped-up against the tree tries to get up, but is too weak and sore. Suddenly, Talia appears in front of him.]

DIMITRI FEDOROV:
(weakly)
Who...?

TALIA NOIMI:
I am Talia...Paolo's daughter...and your birth mother. I will help the others for you.

[Talia flips open the Kendo Cell, and insta-morphs. The female Red Ranger then boards the Lion Kendozord, and goes to work, fiercely battling Yomatsu.]

PAOLO NOIMI:
(as he checks on the patient)
Dimitri! Oh, no!

EDDIE CALLAHAN:
Paolo! How is she!?

PAOLO NOIMI:
She is my daughter...Talia. With Dimitri injured, she wanted to help.

LOGAN KINGSTON:
Will she be the Red Ranger now?

PAOLO NOIMI:
For now...until Dimitri is able to resume his duties.

[The team relaxes as Paolo tells them about Talia.]

Talia is Dimitri's birth mother...and the true one that can seal the Stygians. When Dimitri was born, she had given him up for adoption, because of her duties to the Orikami. Last year, she had not learned the sealing technique yet. I had her go to Mount Hikoma to continue to learn the technique from a friend of mine. Meanwhile...I did not anticipate the Stygians being released so soon. I had to have Dimitri become the Red Ranger, and assume her role.

[The team seems a bit more at ease.]

DIMITRI FEDOROV:
I'm leaving the leadership of the team to you, mother. I must leave the team to recover.

SIERRA CROFT:
Dimitri, no!

CODY EGAWA:
Don't go!

TALIA NOIMI:
It is up to him if he wants to go.

[Dimitri departs the base.]

LOGAN KINGSTON:
If he is leaving...I need to keep an eye on him.

PAOLO NOIMI:
Logan...do me a favor...keep an eye on Dimitri.

[Logan nods his head in agreement, and follows Dimitri out of the base. The others are devastated.]

LOGAN KINGSTON:
You want to talk, Dimitri!?

DIMITRI FEDOROV:
Look...I've had a long and painful last couple of days. I just want to be by myself for a while.

LOGAN KINGSTON:
Dimitri...we've all had a long couple of days...I understand. But, you cannot just run away.

DIMITRI FEDOROV:
Let me guess...Paolo wants you to keep an eye on me?

LOGAN KINGSTON:
Yeah. Quite frankly...I want to keep an eye on you too.

[Logan then looks at his Solar Phone...a text message has appeared telling him of the battle in the park.]

EXT.-CITY-PARK-DAY
[The Red Ranger stalks some cowering Kanizars with the Fire Striker. She then uses the Shogun Morpher to upgrade into the Red Shogun Ranger, and forms the Shogun Razor.]

RED SHOGUN RANGER:

This has been settled.

[The other rangers celebrate loudly as the Red Ranger just stands in her place.]

INT.-PURGATORY-RIVER STYX-SHIP-DAY
[The remaining Stygtians meet with Iod as they prepare for their next plan.]

SANZU:
Iod...Talia has taken Dimitri's place as the Red Ranger.

IOD:
I see. This is rather unsettling. She is the one that knows how to seal us.

OCTO:
She must be dealt with.

CRUSTACEA:
I agree!

[The Stygians continue their preparation.]

EXT.-BEACH-DAY
[Later, as the sun sets on another day, Dimitri walks along the beach, thinking to himself.]

SANZU:
(with his katana)
I'm here to finish our...one-on-one battle.

DIMITRI FEDOROV:
(with his personal Kendo Razor)
Let's go!

[The two stare-down each other, ready to duel. TO BE CONTINUED...]

It is time to fight fire with fire.

[Iod fishes a snake-like item from the water, gives it to Octo.]

OCTO:
(laughing maniacally)
Without the Red Ranger, the Kendo Ranger team will fall apart!

MEGAN NOIMI:
I do not know.

LOGAN KINGSTON:
He did mention something about Mount Hikoma.

MEGAN NOIMI:
Mount Hikoma!? That's where...Talia...Paolo's youngest daughter, went off to last year. Maybe she sent him a letter.

EDDIE CALLAHAN:
(finishing his session)
Lumina...either I'm getting stronger, or you're getting soft!

[The six rangers draw their primary weapons and charge in to battle the Kanizars. Meanwhile, in a tree above the fracas, Yomatsu makes her presence known.]

YOMATSU:
(laughing maniacally)
Ah, the puny Power Rangers! This should be easy!

[Yomatsu vanishes. She then reappears, and aims the Spirit Extinguisher at the Red Ranger, and blasts him.]

RED KENDO RANGER:
(reacting as he sparks and flails)
Whoa! What was that!?

[The Red Ranger sees the source of the blast...Yomatsu and her weapon as he tries to recover.]

That thing's got some kick to it!

[Yomatsu keeps firing the weapon at the Red Ranger, and the others notice.]

YOMATSU:
I am Yomatsu...welcome to your nightmare, Red Ranger!

GOLD KENDO RANGER:
She's targeting Dimitri!

BLUE KENDO RANGER:
We got to help him!

[As Yomastu stalks and blasts the Red Ranger again, the Blue Ranger tries his best to help the leader.]

RED KENDO RANGER:
You're gonna pay for that, Yomatsu!

[The Red Ranger recovers to his feet, and charges at the Aykasi with his Kendo Razor, but she vanishes.]

voice of YOMATSU:
(laughing)
You'll have to be quicker than that, mouse!

BLUE KENDO RANGER:
(on guard)
What did she mean by that?

RED KENDO RANGER:
(on guard)
She's the cat, and I am the mouse.

[Yomatsu reappears behind the two rangers, but the other rangers move in to surround the Red and Blue Rangers to protect them from another blast...but it is no use. The rangers roll on the ground and recover. The Red Ranger then summons the...]

Shogun Morpher! Spirit Of The Shogun Orikami!

[The Red Ranger powers up into his Shogun Ranger form.]

RED SHOGUN RANGER:
I've had enough of you, Yomatsu!

YOMATSU:
(as she blasts the Red Ranger)
Funny, the same could be said about you!

RED SHOGUN RANGER:
(thinking to himself)
I got to get her away from the others!

[The Red Ranger puts his plan into motion.]

Come get me!

[The Red Ranger runs away from the others to draw Yomatsu away from them...she follows.]

BLUE KENDO RANGER:
Dimitri!

PINK KENDO RANGER:
Wait!

[The five other rangers follow suit. Elsewhere in the park, the Red Ranger, armed with the Super Bullzooka is cautiously looking around for Yomatsu.]

RED SHOGUN RANGER:
Come out and fight, you coward!

YOMATSU:
(appearing before vanishing and reappearing in the sky behind the Red Ranger)
You are the one who is a coward...running away from your friends!

[Yomatsu blasts the Red Ranger in the back with her weapon. The Red Ranger flies backward, lands on his back.]

RED SHOGUN RANGER:
You're going down! Fire!

[The Red Ranger manages to squeeze off a shot from his Super Bullzooka during his forced de-morphing. Yomatsu is blasted out of the sky. She then recovers to her feet.]

YOMATSU:
Lucky shot, mouse!

[Yomatsu cackles in blue lightning bolts, then explodes. Everyone arrives, and rushes to check on a very battered, bruised, and cut-up Dimitri.]

YELLOW KENDO RANGER:
Dimitri!

[The Yellow Ranger looks very concerned.]

Dimitri! Say something!

[Yomatsu revives and grows as the other rangers prop Dimitri up against a tree.]

DIMITRI FEDOROV:
(weakly, as he gives the Shogun Morpher to the Blue Ranger)
Kick her butt for me!

BLUE KENDO RANGER:
(while taking the morpher from Dimitri)
You got it!

GOLD KENDO RANGER:
This one's for you!

[As Dimitri sends his Kendo Cell back to Paolo for safe-keeping, the five remaining rangers go to call on the Kendozords as Yomatsu towers over the city.]

BLUE SHOGUN RANGER:
(insta-morphed)
I Summon The Spirits Of The Orikami!

ALL RANGERS:
Kendozords...Spirit Fusion!

[The six primary Kendozords (lion, dragon, turtle, bear, monkey, and lobster) join together to form the...]

Kendo Superzord, Lockdown!

[The Superzord battles Yomatsu, who counters with her teleporting abilities. When the Superzord tries to cut her down, she attacks rapidly from all sides.]

GREEN KENDO RANGER:
She's too powerful!

INT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-ORIKAMI VILLAGE-BASE-DAY
[Paolo receives Dimitri's Kendo Cell as a young woman with black hair, in her mid-thirties walks into the base (we see her from the back of her head only).]

WOMAN:
Hello, Father! It appears that I have arrived just in time.

[Paolo turns around and rushes to give the young woman a huge, happy hug.]

It is good to see you again...Talia!

EXT.-CITY-PARK-DAY
[The Kendo Superzord continues to struggle against Yomatsu's attacks. Suddenly, the Superzord cackles in blue lightning bolts before breaking apart into it's components.]

ALL RANGERS:
We lost the megazord!

[On the ground, Dimitri sees the Superzord breaking apart...a tear rolls down his bruised cheek. TO BE CONTINUED...]

------------------------------
EXT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-QUARRY-DAY
[Jigara continues to encourage Sanzu to open the final gateway as the six rangers and Crustacea look on in horror as Jigara ties the Blue, Green, and Gold Rangers up with his "fingernail vines," then flings them toward the others.]

RED SHOGUN RANGER:
(as he combines his Shogun Razor with the Bullzooka to form the Super Bullzooka)
I've had enough of this! Fire!

[The Red Ranger fires the weapon at Sanzu.]

JIGARA:
No!

[Jigara intercepts the blast, and deflects it back toward the rangers to force them out of morph. The six grab their chests in pain as Sanzu readies his Katana to open the gate.]

Sanzu! What are you waiting for!? Open the gate!

[Sanzu turns to strike Jigara with the katana. Jigara cackles in purple-black lightning bolts.]

SANZU:
You have controlled me long enough, Jigara!

[Sanzu stabs Jigara in the upper chest. The powerful Stygian sparks and collapses.]

JIGARA:
Can we talk about this!?

CRUSTACEA:
(approaching the fallen Stygian)
Silence!

[Crustacea kicks Jigara as he lays on the ground.]

Sanzu is right! You have controlled us long enough, Jigara!

[Sanzu then seals the gates as Jigara recovers to his feet in a semi-weakened state.]

JIGARA:
You all will pay for your treachery!

CRUSTACEA:
I think we made him even madder!

[Jigara then fries everyone (including the unmorphed rangers) with blue energy bolts coming from his hands. Sanzu and Crustacea flee the area.]

Fire!

OTHER RANGERS:

OTHER RANGERS:
Right!

[The megazords and Lumina move into position.]

------------------------------------------
EXT.-CITY-BEACH-DAY
[The rangers draw their weapons (Kendo Razors and Solar Dagger) and battle the Kusanizars for a few minutes.]

JIGARA:
Sanzu! Continue your mission!

[Soon, Sanzu completes the spell, which dissolves the barrier between Earth and Purgatory. The opening creates a massive explosion of energy. The rangers and Sanzu are wounded, as Crustacea barely escapes. The sky above turns a fiery orange as Jigara walks toward the opening. The rangers recover to their feet, and try to block Jigara.]

RED KENDO RANGER:
We won't let you succeed, Jigara!

JIGARA:
(as he blasts the team back for a loop)
You have no choice, rangers! You're power cannot stop me!

[Jigara arrives at the gateway to Purgatory. As the rangers, Sanzu, and Crustacea look on in horror, a second explosion knocks the team out. Within a few seconds, Dimitri recovers, and starts to check on the others, starting with Sierra. Soon, the others recover as well. The city is a mess...rubble and debris everywhere.]

LOGAN KINGSTON:
(seeing Sanzu lying face-down nearby)
Sanzu!

[Remembering Sanzu's words, Logan readies his Solar Phone, and contemplates his next move. He then has second thoughts, and leaves to join the others.]

INT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-ORIKAMI VILLAGE-BASE-NIGHT
[That night, the bandaged-up team recovers as Paolo talks to them in front of the map.]

PAOLO NOIMI:
There may be something that is able to stop Jigara's plan. Near the final gateway, there is a small stone pillar. The stone is the location of a member of Aiden's family.

[Logan has heard enough, and gets up.]

LOGAN KINGSTON:
Guys...I must confess. I...had a chance to destroy Sanzu...but did not, and now I feel guilty. I let my conscience get in the way. I'm sorry.

DIMITRI FEDOROV:
It's okay, Logan.

LOGAN KINGSTON:
I need to go think.

[Logan departs the village.]

EXT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-NIGHT
[Sanzu visits the stone. He remembers how Jigara destroyed the Chase Family, and how he took the katana that made him evil (complete with the glowing eyes).]

SANZU:
The Power Rangers shall be destroyed!

EXT.-CITY-RIO MESA CAFE-NIGHT
[At dawn, the conflicted Logan arrives at the closed cafe. He sits at one of the outdoor seating areas. Lumina then flies in.]

LUMINA:
Logan...we all hesitate at one time or another.

LOGAN KINGSTON:
Yes, but that was Sanzu...and I am a ranger!

[Logan then perks up his head only to see a nearby gateway.]

It is my job to destroy him!

[Logan gains some confidence, and stands up.]

INT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-ORIKAMI VILLAGE-BASE-DAY
[The next morning, Cody and Eddie talk as Dimitri secretly looks on from a distance.]

CODY EGAWA:
Eddie...do you think we have enough power to stop Jigara?

EDDIE CALLAHAN:
We'd better...or the Earth as we know it is doomed.

[Dimitri approaches the two.]

DIMITRI FEDOROV:
That is why we have to be ready, guys!

[Suddenly, the alarm rings...Jigara is near the location of the final gateway in the quarry. The five present team members depart the base.]

EXT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-QUARRY-DAY
[Jigara has Sanzu's katana, and stalks the smoking pile of rocks.]

EXT.-CITY-PARK-JAPANESE GARDEN-DAY
[Sanzu walks down a flight of steps. Waiting at the bottom is Logan, who readies his Solar Dagger.]

Ah, the Gold Ranger...come to finally destroy me?

You're going down, Sanzu!

[Logan tightly grips his bladed weapon.]

EXT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-QUARRY-DAY
[Dimitri, Sierra, Megan, and Lumina arrive to a electrifying reception by Jigara.]

EXT.-CITY-PARK-JAPANESE GARDEN-DAY
[Logan gets ready to use his Solar Dagger on Sanzu as Cody and Eddie arrive nearby.]

SANZU:
Well, Gold Ranger? What are you waiting for!?

LOGAN KINGSTON:
We don't have to fight, Sanzu!

SANZU:
I knew it...you don't have what it takes to defeat me! Well...

[Logan drops his head as Sanzu's sword materializes in his right hand.]

...I have what it takes to destroy you!

[Sanzu gets ready to swing his sword over his head as Logan looks up in shock. Sanzu then swings the sword downward to be-head Logan.]

CODY EGAWA AND EDDIE CALLAHAN:
Kendo Razors!

[Cody and Eddie use their Kendo Razors to protect Logan.]

See! You have to rely on the others to help you! You pitiful weakling!

[Cody and Eddie fight Sanzu sword-to-sword before the Stygian retreats.]

Next time, you won't be so lucky!

[Cody and Eddie help Logan up.]

EDDIE CALLAHAN:
Come on, Logan...we got to go help the others.

[The still conflicted Logan leaves the park with Cody and Eddie.]

[Paolo walks into Nala's hut.]

PAOLO NOIMI:
You wanted to see me, Nala?

NALA CALI:
I just heard that she is on her way back to the village.

PAOLO NOIMI:
Her training must be complete.

NALA CALI:
Yes...but what about Dimitri? The others look up to him as their leader.

PAOLO NOIMI
It's for the best, Nala.

[Paolo walks out of the hut.]

EXT.-ANGEL GROVE NATIONAL FOREST-QUARRY-DAY

Dimitri!

RED SHOGUN RANGER:
I'm okay...but this freak is not!

[Suddenly, Sanzu arrives.]

SANZU:
I want my katana back! I know that it was you who killed the Chase Family...and I will never forget it, Jigara! Now...hand it over!

[Jigara thinks that Sanzu is there to finish the job of opening the final gateway.]

JIGARA:
Ah, yes...you are here to open the final gateway. Come, come!

[Jigara hands the katana to Sanzu, and directs him to the rock formation. Crustacea arrives as Sanzu prepares to open the gate.]

CRUSTACEA:
Don't do it, Sanzu!

JIGARA:
Silence!

CRUSTACEA:
Remember!

[Jigara blasts Crustacea to shut her up.]

JIGARA:
I said...silence!

[Crustacea lies motionless on the ground as the rock formation smokes even more as the energy from the other opening intensify. Soon, the Blue, Green, and Gold Rangers arrive.]

RED SHOGUN RANGER:
He's gonna open the final gate!

Oh, no!

(as he removes all dots that pertain to Iod's plots)
And the remaining dots here represent your battle with Jigara and/or his Aykasi.

[Insectivox leaves the ship, and jumps into the River Styx as Octo watches from the shadows.]

JIGARA:
I know you are there, Octo...come out of hiding!

OCTO:
You plan can destroy us all, Jigara.

(posing)
I Am Lumina! The Shining Warrior Of Light!

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

[The rangers draw their weapons (Kendo Razors, Solar Dagger, and Kendo Dual Staff) and battle the Kusanizars for a few minutes.]

JIGARA:
Sanzu! Continue your mission!

[Soon, Sanzu completes the spell, which dissolves the barrier between Earth and Purgatory. The opening creates a massive explosion of energy. The rangers and Sanzu are wounded, as Crustacea barely escapes. The sky above turns a fiery orange as Jigara walks toward the opening. The rangers recover to their feet, and try to block Jigara.]

RED KENDO RANGER:
We won't let you succeed, Jigara!

JIGARA:
(as he blasts the team back for a loop)
You have no choice, rangers! You're power cannot stop me!

[Jigara arrives at the gateway to Purgatory.]

I command the Stygian Ship to rise!

[As the rangers, Sanzu, and Crustacea look on in horror, a second explosion knocks the team out. TO BE CONTINUED...]

ON THE NEXT EPISODE OF POWER RANGERS: KENDO WARRIORS...

Episode #63: Gateway To Darkness (5)
Sanzu's past is revealed as he considers confronting Jigara about his katana, and it's true powers just as Jigara is about to open the final gate to Purgatory.

Quick Update...

Hello fans, and Happy New Year!

Here is a quick scheduling update on the final few episodes of "Power Rangers: Kendo Warriors..."

Due to the "crunch time" on the final nine episodes, I'm afraid that I will have to make some slight changes to the posting dates.

Episodes 65-66 were to be posted on the week of January 10, 2010, but will now be posted on consecutive weeks (Episode #65 on the week of January 10, Episode #66 on the week of January 17), thus pushing Episode #67 and Episode #68 back a week. Please see below for the updated (and final) posting schedule...

#62 w\o January 3
#63 w\o January 3
#64 w\o January 3
#65 w\o January 10
#66 w\o January 17
#67 w\o January 24
#68 w\o January 31
#69 w\o February 14
#70 w\o February 14

Since the home computer is still acting up, contingency plans are still in place, and postings are on a "week of" basis instead of exact days. This will be until further notice, and may run into postings of "Power Rangers: Star Guardians." I would like to get the Friday posting schedule back on track as soon as possible, but since funds are short, that MAY take a while.
