-----------------------------------------------------
INT.-OUTER SPACE-STAMPEDER-BRIDGE-DAY
[Sanbo and Kyatsu try to get Kraken to eat.]

SANBO:
Sir, you need to keep your strength up.

KYATSU:
You can’t take over the Earth on a empty stomach!

PRINCE KRAKEN:
I can’t eat when I know that he’s coming!

[Shireikan enters with a Scallywag that has a ravenous appetite...ZAYUKA, who then proceeds to suck up th food on the table to demonstrate his abilities.]

I have an idea...why don’t you go down to Earth, and eat up the planet’s food supply!

ZAYUKA:
No problem, boss!

PRINCE KRAKEN:
Uh, can you return the food that you just ate off of this table?

INT.-ANGEL GROVE-SUPERMARKET-DAY
[Keri, Brock, and Kieran shop for groceries. Meanwhile, Zayuka sneaks into the store, and hides. Soon, the trio arrives in the produce department.]

KIERAN OLIVER:
How about some pineapple?

[Just as Kieran reaches for the pineapple, the food flies away, and the trio sees the source...Zayuka!]

ZAYUKA:
You sure got some good food on this planet!

[The three crewmen take out their morphers and keys, and morph as Zayuka flees the store to take the battle outside.]

EXT.-ANGEL GROVE-SUPERMARKET-DAY
[Upon running after Zayuka, the Scallywag “eye-blasts” the trio to cause sparks. The three use their weapons to attack the Scallywag at the back of the building. Soon, something blasts Zayuka...it’s the other rangers leaping in with their weapons.]

SILVER HERO RANGER:
(with the Lunar Wolf Wild Force Ranger Power Key)
Let’s use these!

RED HERO RANGER:
Let’s slice and dice him!

[The six rangers insert their keys into their morphers, and transform into the Wild Force Rangers. They rush in to attack with their claws.]

LUNAR WOLF WILD FORCE RANGER:
Lunar Cue! Blaster Mode!

[The Lunar Wolf blasts Zayuka, then show-boats a bit, and turns to face the other rangers, leaving himself open for attack.]

ZAYUKA:
You’re wide open!

[Zayuka regurgitates his food. The blast to the Lunar Wolf knocks him into some cardboard boxes, and forces him out of morph. The Hero Caller lands on the ground amongst the fruit. Zayuka sucks up the food, and the morpher as Kieran watches helplessly.]

KIERAN OLIVER:
My morpher! He ate my morpher!

[The core rangers power down into their Hero Ranger forms.]

ZAYUKA:
Well, time to go sleep off all of that food! Too-tah-loo!

[Zayuka vanishes with a desperate Kieran kneeling on the ground, in anguish.]

KIERAN OLIVER:
(whimpering)
My morpher!

INT.-ANGEL GROVE-GALLEON-MAIN ROOM-DAY
[Brock is at the computer, trying to get a signal lock on the Hero Caller as Kieran uses Brock’s Hero Morpher to call the Hero Caller.]

voice over HERO MORPHER:
We’re sorry...your call cannot be completed at this time.

[Kieran hangs up the Hero Morpher, and hands it back to Brock.]

BROCK CRANSTON:
And, the computer cannot pinpoint any signals either.

[Kieran is feeling depressed.]

KIERAN OLIVER:
I need some time to myself.

[Kieran exits the ship in a very dejected mood. The others show concern.]

EXT.-ANGEL GROVE-DAY
[Kieran walks down a sidewalk, sulking to himself. A bicyclist accidentally runs into him.]

KIERAN OLIVER:
Ricky Teagarden! The former Red Chi Ranger!

RICKY TEAGARDEN:
How do you...

KIERAN OLIVER:
I am the Silver Hero Ranger. Or, at least I used to be.

RICKY TEAGARDEN:
You can’t give up! When me the the other Chi Rangers fought the Gorma Empire, they threw everything at us...but we did not give up. And now more than ever, you can’t either. You need to come up with a way to get your morpher back from Zayuka.

KIERAN OLIVER:
Ever since I became a Power Ranger, it has been the greatest thing in the world. I am a hero, and saving people from the Zangyu.

RICKY TEAGARDEN:
The question is...can you be a hero without the suit and the powers?

[The question makes Kieran think a bit, then takes his leave.]

KIERAN OLIVER:
I need to go figure out a way to get my morpher back. But, until I do get it back...I can still be a hero!

EXT.-ANGEL GROVE-NIGHT
[Kieran walks around, continues to think things over.]

EXT.-ANGEL GROVE-COMMUNITY GARDEN-DAY
[Zayuka’s presence makes the gardeners flee in fear.]

ZAYUKA:
(as he sucks many eggplant off of their vines and into his mouth)
Ooh! Eggplant! My favorite! Of course...everything is my favorite!

[The rangers try to corner the Scallywag, but he vanishes into thin air.]

GREEN HERO RANGER:
He got away!

INT.-ANGEL GROVE-FISH MARKET-DAY
[Zayuka eats a bunch of fish from a local fish monger.]

ZAYUKA:
(as the fish monger flees in fear)
Got to have my Omega-three’s! Yum! Oh, oh!

[The Blue and Yellow Rangers try to rush the Scallywag, but he vanishes again.]

BLUE HERO RANGER:
He’s slick, I give him that!

EXT.-ANGEL GROVE-PLAZA-FOOD FESTIVAL-DAY
[Kieran walks up to Ricky, who along with other restauranteurs, have set up a festival for the people of Angel Grove.]

KIERAN OLIVER:
I...found my inner chi, Ricky.

[Zayuka and an army of Foilers arrive, and the food is sucked up by the Scallywag.]

RICKY TEAGARDEN:
Good...because it’s time to act!

[The two prepare to act against Zayuka and the Foilers.]

I am the Warrior of Fire...Ricky Teagarden...Red Chi Ranger!

KIERAN OLIVER:
And I am Kieran Oliver...Silver Hero Ranger!

[The two charge in to fight the enemy in a unmorphed battle, and fend off the Foilers with ease.]

ZAYUKA:
Scurvies!

[The two unmorphed heroes try to battle the stronger minions, but are easily overpowered. Suddenly, the core crewmen arrive blasting.]

With their morphers and keys, the six morph into Hero Rangers.]

ALL CREWMEN:
It’s Morphin’ Time!

[The suits “fully-form” over the five.]

RED HERO RANGER:
Let’s use the powers of the Jungle Rangers!

[The five insert their keys into their morphers, and turn.]

voice of HERO MORPHERS:
(as the suits form over the five rangers)
Jungle Power!

[The five Jungle Rangers rush-strike the Scurvy trio to destroy them. The Yellow and White Rhino Rangers attack Zayuka with punches, followed by the Blue and Royal Wolf Rangers kicking, and a punching Red Ranger. All five then target Zayuka’s stomach area.]

ALL RANGERS:
Light-Spirit Infusion!

[The power of the five Jungle Rangers makes the Scallywag regurgitate everything that he has eaten...including Kieran’s Hero Morpher, which he catches.]

RICKY TEAGARDEN:
Show them what a hero can do!

KIERAN OLIVER:
(as he inserts his Power Key, and shuts the cover)
It’s Morphin Time!

[The Silver Ranger suit fully-forms over his body. The Silver Ranger leaps in with his Hero Trident, and attacks Zayuka with light-blue energy slash strikes. Soon, the enemies confront the rangers, forcing the six to change-up into the Chi Rangers (with Silver turning into the White Morphin Ranger). The core rangers use their secondary weapons to power-strike the Scurvies, followed by the White Ranger using Saba against Zayuka.]

ALL RANGERS:
Hero Rangers...Golden Armor Mode!

[The six rangers then use their staffs to rush-strike Zayuka, the use their staffs to form a giant bowgun, and execute their finisher.]

Heroic Hexa-Blast!

SILVER HERO RANGER:
Chew on this!

[A massive beam of energy is fired to hit Zayuka. He cackles in multi-colored energy bolts that correspond to the ranger colors, and is defeated. The rangers celebrate as they revert to their default forms.]

ALL CORE RANGERS:
Heroic Galleon Cannon!

[The rangers summon the cannon, and insert their keys for the Red Charge.]

Heroic Galleon Blast

[The rangers execute the finisher to make Zayuka cackle in red energy bolts, collapse and explode. Suddenly, pink beams make Zayuka and the three Scurvies revive and enlarge. The Hero Megazord and Tri-Legend Megazord are formed. The three Scurvies line-up, and open fire on the two robots to create sparks and smoke. The two charge in, and battle the Scurvies, who basically hold down the two zords so Zayuka can attack them.]

RICKY TEAGARDEN:
Rangers! Use the Chi Power!

[The rangers insert their Chi Power Keys. The power from the hatches forms into a massive energy fireball, which envelopes the Tri-Legend.]

ALL RANGERS:
Heroic Legend...Chi Strike!

[The Hero Megazord grabs the Tri-Legend with it’s spinning drill arm to charge through the three Scurvies to obliterate them.]

ZAYUKA:
What!

[The Rangers insert their Ninja Storm keys into the console, and summon the Minizord, which appears from a dark cloud.]

MINIZORD:
I am Minizord!

[The Minizord turns into shurikens to combine with the Hero Megazord.]

ALL CORE HERO RANGERS:
(as they turn the keys again)
Hero Megazord, Storm Mode! Heroic Storm Attack!

[The turn of the keys releases Minizord from the main robot.]

MINIZORD:
(as he multiplies himself)
Mini Storm!

[Over a dozen Minizords use their shurikens, and charge to attack Zayuka, who sucks in the many Minizords, who attack the Scallywag from the inside-out [

ZAYUKA:
(in some pain)
Oh, severe indigestion!

[He then cackles in red energy bolts as the Minizords escape, Zayuka sparks, falls backward and explodes as the megazord poses victoriously.]

EXT.-ANGEL GROVE-PLAZA-FOOD FESTIVAL-DAY
[Ricky feeds the six crewmen a victory feast of finger foods.]

COLIN SCOTT:
Thanks for looking after our rookie all this time.

NIKKI BUCHANAN:
Yes, thank you!

KIERAN OLIVER:
He taught me the true meaning of being a hero, and showed all of us our inner chi.
