‭INT.-CITY-GALLEON-MAIN ROOM-DAY
‭[The six crewmen are celebrating their long awaited victory, and take stock of their loot of Morphing Master Jewels.]

‭COLIN SCOTT:
‭Well, we defeated the Zangyu, and have all the powers and Morphing Master Jewels in hand.

‭[The crew briefly goes through all of the powers (as brief clips of each power are shown).]

‭First there are the Agent, Royal Battle, Electro, Solar, and Fusion powers...

‭DeANDRE TAYLOR:
‭Then the Nuclear, Bio, Mythic, Super Nova, Light, Beast, and Velocity powers...

‭KERI SCHMIDT:
‭The Earth, Jet, Morphin, Chi, Ninja, and Alien powers...

‭BROCK CRANSTON:
‭Zeo, Turbo, Space, Galaxy, Lightspeed, and Time powers...

‭NIKKI BUCHANAN:
‭Wild, Storm, Dino, Delta, Mystic, and Overdrive powers...

‭KIERAN OLIVER:
‭And lastly, the Jungle, Nitro Defender, Kendo, Star, and our Hero powers...

‭COLIN SCOTT:
‭That should be all of them! And of course, the jewels. It’s been quite a year!

‭[The six crewmen recount how they obtained each one.]

‭Our journey began...

‭INT.-CITY-GALLEON-MAIN ROOM-DAY (MARCH 2015)
‭[Early in the year, the five crewmen (before Kieran joined the team) relax as Brock gets a strange call on his morpher.]

‭MYSTERIOUS VOICE:
‭The jewel you seek is in the in the jungles of the Amazon.

‭BROCK CRANSTON:
‭Set sail for the Amazon...there's a jewel there!

‭[A couple weeks pass before the crew finally goes after the jewel. Brock picks up the jewel, and puts it into a satchel for safe keeping...until the two generals re-appear in front of another platoon of Foilers and a few Scurvies.]

voice of BROCK CRANSTON:
Of course, the Zangyu were there to try and stop us.

voice of KERI SCHMIDT:
Then came my turn.

INT.-CITY-GALLEON-MAIN ROOM-DAY (JULY 2015)
[The six crewmen are talking with their parents on the viewscreen.]

KIMBERLY SCHMIDT:
Rangers...we have pinpointed the location of the Yellow Morphing Master Jewel...the Jewel Of Inquiry in the Australian Outback near the city of Darwin.

BROCK CRANSTON:
Setting course now.

[The galleon pulls up anchor, and flies off.]

voice of KERI SCHMIDT:
And Kyatsu tried to stop me...

EXT.-AUSTRALIA-OUTBACK-DAY (JULY 2015)
[Kyatsu faces the Yellow Ranger.]

KYATSU:
You’ll never get that jewel, Yellow Ranger!

YELLOW HERO RANGER:
Try me!

[After a few minutes, the Yellow Ranger out-duels Kyatsu, who retreats in anger as the ranger powers down into her civilian form. She then takes a quick breather to drink from her canteen. She moves forward to get the jewel. She holds up the jewel to take a look at it...but Kyatsu returns and tries to grab it.]

KYATSU:
I’ll take that!

KERI SCHMIDT:
Guess again!

[Keri puts the jewel into her pouch, then gives the general a good swift kick in the rear. Kyatsu retreats again, and Keri calls the others.]

voice of KERI SCHMIDT:
But, I did get the jewel.

voice of DeANDRE TAYLOR:
Then the week after that...

EXT.-BERMUDA-NIGHT (JULY 2015)
[At dawn, the galleon arrives over the island nation.]

INT.-BERMUDA-GALLEON-DeANDRE’S QUARTERS-DAY (JULY 2015)
[DeAndre gets his gear together, and departs the ship.]

EXT.-BERMUDA-GALLEON-DAY (JULY 2015)
[As it gets lighter, DeAndre is lowered by the drag chain.]

EXT.-BERMUDA-DAY (JULY 2015)
[On the ground, DeAndre pulls the tracking device from a pocket, and starts the search.]

DeANDRE TAYLOR:
Time to get to work!

[Near a beach, DeAndre is searching for the jewel’s energy signature. Soon, Shireikan and six Foilers drop in.]

SHIREIKAN:
You’ll never get the Jewel of Hope, Blue Ranger!

DeANDRE TAYLOR:
Shireikan!

[DeAndre takes out his cutlass and musket to battle the Foilers unmorphed. After defeating the minions with ease, DeAndre turns his attention to his arch-nemesis, and uses his morpher and key to “insta-morph.” The Blue Ranger dodges the attack, and recovers to his feet with his cutlass, and prepares to face his former friend again. To two charge in to swordfight for a bit. The Blue Ranger hits Shireikan with his sword, but dodges the Zangyu general’s sword moves. The Blue Ranger notices that his attack has injured the general, who then retreats. DeAndre takes out the scanning device, and continues to search for the jewel. After a couple minutes, he finds it, and uses his morpher to contact the ship.]

Guys! I found it!

voice of DeANDRE TAYLOR:
After that, it was Kieran's turn.

voice of COLIN SCOTT:
That's when after thinking that there were only five jewels, a sixth one was found.

INT.-CITY-GALLEON-MAIN ROOM-DAY (SEPTEMBER 2015)
[The six crewmen gather in front of the viewscreen to watch tommy.]

voice of TOMMY OLIVER:
Hello, all. We did you a favor, and have located the next Morphing Master Jewel...the Jewel of Friendship. It’s yours, Kieran.

KIERAN OLIVER:
Where is it, Dad?

voice of TOMMY OLIVER:
It is in Egypt...at the Pyramids of Giza. This jewel once belonged to the Black Morphing Master, Kinwon from the planet K-O Thirty-five.

COLIN SCOTT:
What are we waiting for? Set a course for Egypt!

[The galleon sets off from California, and is en route to Africa.]

EXT.-EGYPT-PYRAMIDS OF GIZA-DAY (SEPTEMBER 2015)
[On a hot day, the galleon arrives over the pyramids. Kieran dressed in desert nomad-like attire repels down the chain rope.]

KIERAN OLIVER:
Whew! It’s a hot one out here! No time to waste...got to get to work!

[He then takes out a scanning device to track the jewel signature, which is soon picked up. Kieran walks toward the jewel energy signature. While en-route, Kieran takes out a water bottle to take a drink. Kieran continues to track the jewel signature when Sanbo materializes.]

SANBO:
Hello, Silver Ranger!

[Overhead, more Zangyu Armada Ships arrive, and drop more Foilers and Scurvies. Kieran puts the scanner away, and takes out his Hero Caller and Silver Hero Ranger Power Key, and morphs.

It’s Morphin’ Time!

[The Silver Ranger suit “fully-forms” over Kieran’s body. He then immediately puts his trident into Blaster Mode to battle through the Foilers. The Silver Ranger continues to battle the remaining Foilers and Scurvies, the uses his morpher and Golden Anchor Key to access his Golden Armor Mode.]

SILVER HERO RANGER:
Let’s kick it up a notch! Gold Power!

[The armor forms onto the Silver Ranger, and the Hero Trident forms into it’s new Anchor Mode.]

SILVER HERO RANGER-GOLDEN ARMOR MODE:
Silver Ranger...Golden Armor Mode!

[His chest shield is filled with images of the fifteen “sixth” helmets. He uses his trident’s Anchor Mode to defeat minion after minion. The Silver Ranger then inserts his Power Key to power up the trident.]

Heroic Legend Wave!

[All of the “sixth” rangers’ auras attack the minion force, then the Silver Ranger slices through the minions, leaving Sanbo all alone.]

KIERAN OLIVER:
(as the Silver Ranger suit vanishes from his body)
Power Down!

[Kieran continues to track the jewel, and finds it.]

Got it! Now...to get back to the others!

voice of NIKKI BUCHANAN:
Then, the Pink Jewel was located in a very cold spot.

INT.-CITY-GALLEON-MAIN ROOM-DAY (DECEMBER 2015)

[Nikki is using the viewscreen to talk with her father, Richie.]

RICHIE BUCHANAN:
I have some news. We have located the Pink Morphin Master Jewel...the Jewel of Love. Unfortunately, it is at the North Pole.

COLIN SCOTT:
Navix! Set a course for the North Pole!

NAVIX:
Aye, aye, Captain!

‭INT.-NORTH POLE-SANTA’S WORKSHOP-NIGHT (DECEMBER 2015)
‭[The rangers have arrived at the North Pole, and have gotten off of the galleon.]\

‭SANTA CLAUS:
Well, hello, rangers! What brings you to the North Pole?

NIKKI BUCHANAN:
We are looking for a pink orb-like jewel. Have you seen it?

SANTA CLAUS:
Well...can’t say that I have. Say...while you guys are here, do you think that you can help my elves? Christmas is a week away, and we still have lots of toys to finish up.

‭INT.-NORTH POLE-SANTA’S WORKSHOP-NIGHT (DECEMBER 2015)
‭[Santa thanks the galleon crew in front his his elves.]

‭SANTA CLAUS:
‭Ho! Ho! Ho! You kids saved my workshop and Christmas for the millions of kids around the world! And, as a reward, I have this for you, Nicole.

‭[Santa hands Nikki a pink orb.]

‭Is this what you wanted? I know it has been rough on you the last few years. With losing your mother and sister. But, you must stay strong for your father.

‭NIKKI BUCHANAN:
‭The Pink Morphin Master Jewel! Thank you, Santa. Merry Christmas!

‭voice of NIKKI BUCHANAN:
‭I got the jewel, leaving only one left...Colin?

‭voice of COLIN SCOTT:
‭The last one is always the hardest to get.

‭INT.-CITY-GALLEON-COLIN'S QUARTERS-NIGHT (JANUARY 2016)
[Later that night, Colin is sleeping comfortably in his bed. Suddenly, his sleep is disturbed when his Hero Morpher rings. Colin opens the device and answers.]

COLIN SCOTT:
(groggy)
Hello?

MYSTERIOUS VOICE:
If you want the Red Morphing Master Jewel...the Jewel Of Justice, come to Dubai.

[The device clicks as the person on the other end hangs up, as does Colin.]

INT.-CITY-GALLEON-MAIN ROOM-DAY (JANUARY 2016)
[Colin comes upstairs from the personal quarters area of the ship.]

COLIN SCOTT:
Navix...set a course for Dubai.

‭EXT.-OUTSIDE DUBAI LIMITS-DAY (JANUARY 2016)
[The six crewmen search for the Red Morphing Master Jewel. The scanner beeps wildly, leading Colin right to the jewel.]

COLIN SCOTT:
Got it! Guys! We have all six jewels!

[The six wonder what the six jewels are for.]

EXT.-ANGEL GROVE-MOUNTAINS-POWER MOUNTAIN-NIGHT (PRESENT TIME)
[As the sun sets, the galleon arrives at Power Mountain. The ship enters the old Zeozord Holding Bay, and parks in the hangar.]

INT.-ANGEL GROVE-MOUNTAINS-POWER MOUNTAIN-NIGHT
[The six crewmen enter the main hall of the base, each holding their respective jewel, and Colin holding the pyramid.]

BILLY CRANSTON:
Ah...all six Morphing Master Jewels...and the pyramid.

COLIN SCOTT:
Yes...but what are they for...and what about the pyramid...I thought that if we used it, the ranger powers would be destroyed?

BILLY CRANSTON:
(stepping away from a machine)
The pyramid can be programmed to power up the jewels.

[The six crewmen are still a bit confused as they still do not know what is going on. TO BE CONTINUED...]

-----------------------------------------------------
EXT.-CITY-DAY
[The six crewmen grimly look forward to insurmountable odds, then remember about the pyramid device...but also remember what will happen if they use it. All six have one goal in mind though...get back to the galleon.]

INT.-CITY-GALLEON-MAIN ROOM-DAY
[The six return to the damaged galleon, and reunite with Navix. The six want to use the pyramid device to “wish” away the Zangyu, but hesitate, knowing full well what will happen to the power.]

COLIN SCOTT:
We’ve come this far as rangers...we cannot just take the easy way out, guys.

[The others nod their heads in agreement, as they were thinking the same thing. They decide as a whole not to use the pyramid, and fight the Zangyu on their own merits.]

Let’s go!

EXT.-CITY-PLAZA-DAY
[The sun rises on a new day. Citizens gather in the plaza as Dyran and a platoon of Foilers, Scurvies, and Red Scurvies approach the gathering. A group of Foilers aim their weapons at the humans, and prepare to fire. Suddenly, the Foilers get blasted, and roll down the steps. The six crewmen arrive to a platform above the humans, and face the Zangyu.]

COLIN SCOTT:
We are the Power Rangers!

[The crowd below cheers as the six above them ready their keys and morphers.]

ALL CREWMEN:
It’s Morphin’ Time!

[The suits “fully-form” onto the bodies of the six. The rangers ready their weapons, and leap over the citizens into battle. The six slice and blast their way through the Foilers, then battle through the Scurvies. The Silver Ranger goes golden, then reverts back to his normal mode after destroying a couple Scurvies. The six then face two Red Scurvies, who then cross their staffs, and send a blast to the rangers. The Silver Ranger then changes up into the Green Morphin Ranger, and deflects the blast with his Dragon Shield, then leaps out of the shield. The Red Ranger changes up into the Red Morphin Ranger, and jumps into the shield, then uses his Power Sword and the Dragon Dagger on the two Red Scurvies to slice and dice at them. The others prepare two different Hero Wave attacks. The Green, Pink, and Silver Rangers blast while the Blue and Yellow Rangers slice.]

ALL RANGERS (EXCEPT RED):
Hero Wave!

[The two Red Scurvies cackle in red energy bolts, and explode in front of the Red Ranger as he reverts to his Hero Ranger form. The six then turn their attention to Dyran, and charge at him, who tries to blast them with lasers being fired from his shoulder ornamentation. The six execute a combined Hero Wave, but the enemy deflects the attack.]

SILVER HERO RANGER:
Heroic Meteor!

[The attack strikes Dyran, who sparks. The rangers try to charge again, but are blasted from above by the fleet ships. The six get caught up in the explosions, and roll. The rangers look up to see the sky full of thousands of fleet ships...and the Stampeder.]

INT.-CITY-STAMPEDER-BRIDGE-DAY
[King Monarchius orders the fleet ships.]

KING MONARCHIUS:
(angered)
Blast the city...blast the rangers...fire at will!

EXT.-CITY-PLAZA-DAY
[Explosions make the rangers go flying through the air two-by-two as citizens flee in fear. The rangers land, and are forced out of morph, but recover to their feet. The fleet ships close in again, and blast, but the six crewmen are saved by Navix, piloting the Tri-Legend Drill. The zord flies into the mass of fleet ships, and takes out many of them with it’s lasers.]

COLIN SCOTT:
I got an idea...I want to get about the Stampeder by using the Tri-Legend. You’re with me, Kieran!

KIERAN OLIVER:
Right!

[Dyran, with his Dyranmer stares down the six crewmen. Everyone but Colin and Kieran step forward.]

DeANDRE TAYLOR:
We’ll handle this clown!

[Colin and Kieran depart the area as the others stare at Dyran, who raises his Dyranmer, but is blasted by the already-morphed Blue Ranger and his Crossbone Musket. The others prepare to fight.]

INT.-CITY-TRI-LEGEND DRILL-COCKPIT-DAY
[Colin and Kieran enter, find Navix at the controls. Colin takes over the piloting, and steers the zord toward the Stampeder, while firing lasers at the pursuing fleet ships. The Stampeder opens fire as Colin spins the drill and crashes into the Stampeder.]

INT.-CITY-STAMPEDER-BRIDGE-DAY
[The ship rocks as alarms ring out.]

INT.-CITY-TRI-LEGEND DRILL-COCKPIT-DAY
[Navix retakes the controls, and gets the Tri-Legend out of danger as Colin and Kieran exit the zord.]

INT.-CITY-STAMPEDER-DAY
[The Red and Silver Rangers get onto the Stampeder. Several Foilers rush toward the duo, but they use their weapons to counter the minions, and work their way to the Bridge.]

EXT.-CITY-PLAZA-DAY
[Dyran and his Dyranmer have gotten the best of the four rangers as the fleet ships continue blasting.]

INT.-CITY-STAMPEDER-BRIDGE-DAY
[The Red and Silver Rangers use their weapons to blast through the doors. Two Red Scurvies meet the two rangers, and get blasted for their troubles. The two rangers then rush onto the Bridge, and battle the Foilers to easily defeat them, then face Monarchius, who taunts as he sits in his chair.]

KING MONARCHIUS:
You two pitiful rangers think you can take me? Let’s see what’cha got!

[The Silver Ranger leaps in with his trident, but Monarchius catches a blade to overpower him, and Sivler is tossed off of the console. The Red Ranger moves in with his cutlass and musket to slice and shoot, but is clearly no match for the monarch, who fights off the attack while still sitting in his chair, then hits the Silver Ranger in the face, to send him rolling.]

SILVER HERO RANGER:
Golden Anchor Key! Golden Armor Mode!

[Monarchius slices the Silver Ranger a couple times, and tries to overpower the Silver Ranger. Meanwhile, the Red Ranger sits at a computer console at the front of the Bridge, and presses a few buttons, grabbing hold of a lever as the Silver Ranger keeps the king busy.]

KING MONARCHIUS:
What are you doing!

RED HERO RANGER:
A little spring cleaning!

EXT.-CITY-PLAZA-DAY
[Lasers fire from the Stampeder, and destroys the entire fleet. Dyran looks up and cannot believe what he is seeing.]

DYRAN:
The fleet! Our best warriors!

[The four rangers then change-up...Blue into the Shadow SPD Ranger, Green into Sentinel Knight, Yellow into the Red Kendo Ranger, and Pink into the White Mystic Ranger. The Shadow Ranger uses his Shadow Saber like a rifle to blast at Dyran, Shadow, White, and Red ready their weapons as Sentinel Knight puts up his dukes. Meanwhile, the remains of the fleet rain down onto the city.]

INT.-CITY-STAMPEDER-BRIDGE-DAY
[The Red Ranger gets up from the computer station, sees the Silver Ranger getting overpowered. He then rushes in with his sword to deliver a few licks to the king, who fires two energy orb blasts to the two, who fall back.]

EXT.-CITY-PLAZA-DAY
[On the ground, Red and White are sent rolling. Dyran blasts the two again, but White puts up a magical shield with her Magi Staff, then Red uses her Fire Striker Cannon to blast back. Dyran is blasted to the ground as Shadow has Sentinel transform in his sword mode. Shadow uses the Sentinel Sword and his Shadow Saber to deliver powered-up attacks to make Dyran cackle in red energy bolts and sparks before reverting back to their Hero forms. The Blue Ranger readies the Heroic Galleon Cannon, and inserts his key to execute the Heroic Galleon Blast as Dyran blasts the suits off of the four. Dyran cackles in red energy bolts, and sparks before exploding in defeat.]

INT.-CITY-STAMPEDER-BRIDGE-DAY
[The Red and Silver Rangers get blasted toward the main computer console, but recover. Monarchius swings his sword to produce an energy beam to which the two rangers try to deflect, but it blasts then up into the rafters, then down to the floor...behind the main computer console. The two recover, and insert their keys into their blasters, and initially aim at Monarchius, but then blast the console to make it cackle in blue energy bolts, and sparks before exploding...making the front consoles explode as well. In a hail of sparks, the two rangers charge at the king with their weapons, and land a few hits to make the king spark. The Silver Ranger pins Monarchius to the main console with his trident as the whole room starts to explode. The Red Ranger inserts his key into his cutlass.]

RED HERO RANGER:
You’re about to be de-throned!

[The Silver Ranger converts his trident into a blaster, and inserts his key for a combined Hero Wave attack. White energy bolts and sparks erupt everywhere. The two rangers get caught up in the explosions as well.]

EXT.-OLD QUARRY-DAY
[The Stampeder starts exploding again, and falls to the Earth’s surface. The four other crewmen ruh toward the ship.]

NIKKI BUCHANAN:
Colin!

BROCK CRANSTON:
Kieran!

[The two sink to their knees as all four watch in horror. Suddenly, the Red and Silver Rangers (in their Star Ranger forms) drop in, and de-morph.]

COLIN SCOTT:
Miss us?

DeANDRE TAYLOR:
We won!

COLIN SCOTT:
(sensing trouble)
No...not quite!

[Monarchius drops in, and taunts the crewmen.]

KING MONARCHIUS:
You rangers are persistent...but that will not last for long!

[Monarchius fires two energy orbs at the crew, but Colin and Kieran use their weapons to deflect the blasts to an area behind them, setting off two small explosions. The six then prepare their morphers and keys.]

ALL CREWMEN:
It’s Morphin’ Time!

[The suits form over the six, with the helmets forming during the roll-calls.]

RED HERO RANGER:
(posing)
Red Ranger!

BLUE HERO RANGER:
(posing)
Blue Ranger!

YELLOW HERO RANGER:
(posing)
Yellow Ranger!

GREEN HERO RANGER:
(posing)
Green Ranger!

PINK HERO RANGER:
(posing)
Pink Ranger!

SILVER HERO RANGER:
(posing)
Silver Ranger!

ALL RANGERS:
(posing)
Heroes Setting Sail For Adventure! Power Rangers, hya!

[Explosions erupt behind the rangers, who blast, but Monarchius counters with a sword slash, but counter the monarch with multiple change-ups into various rangers (Red turning into Red Agent, Overdrive, Turbo, Galaxy, Jet, and Zeo Rangers...Blue turning into Blue Royal, Chi, Nitro, Bio, and Lightspeed Rangers...Yellow turning into the Yellow Solar, Light, Earth, Dino, and Beast Rangers...Green turning into the Black Battle, Mythic, Velocity, Mythic (again), and Space Rangers...Pink turning into the Pink Nuclear, Alien, Fusion, Morphin, Super Nova, and Time Force Rangers...and Silver turning into Silver Star Ranger, Green Samurai Ranger, Magna Defender and Gold Zeo Rangers) to battle with their weapons and attacks in a massive all-out fight against Monarchius.]

KING MONARCHIUS:
I will not be defeated! I am the ruler of the universe!

RED ZEO RANGER:
Looks like your days on the throne are numbered!

[The six then change-up into various armored modes (Red into the Red Shinobi Ranger...Blue into the Blue Guardian Ranger...Yellow into the Yellow Fury Ranger...Green into the Green SPD Ranger-SWAT Mode...Pink into the Pink Mystic Ranger’s Legend Mode...and Silver into his Golden Armor Mode.) The six then rush attack Monarchius, with the Red Shinobi Ranger using his sword to whip the king from a distance.]

SILVER HERO RANGER:
Heroic Legend Crash!

[The Silver Ranger leaps up, then comes down to slice Monarchius in two to make him cackle in blue energy bolts, and sparks, forcing the king to take a knee. The six rangers load the Power Keys into their weapons for a Hero Wave attack.]

ALL RANGERS:
Heroic Legend Slash!

[The Silver Ranger throws his trident like a javelin, followed by the others slashing. The attack strikes, and the energies of the cutlasses turn around to re-strike Monarchius, who sparks and cackles a bit more while walking toward the rangers weakly, then fires two more energy orbs to embroil the rangers in a massive explosion. The Silver Ranger then leaps in with the cannon, and stabs the king to insert his key to fire the weapon at point-blank range. On the smoky ground, the six are now un-morphed. The over-exhausted crewmen recover to a sitting position as Monarchius rolls, but recovers to taunt the six.]

KING MONARCHIUS:
You children...have managed to...do the impossible...but the Zangyu...

[Before the king can finish, he cackles in pink energy bolts as he sparks, then explodes into a massive fireball. The six look on cautiously, then celebrate. Navix flies in to make sure the six are okay.]

NAVIX:
We won!

INT.-CITY-CAFE-DAY (one week later...)
[The six relax in the cafe as Colin orders up a sixth plate of curry as Keri reads an article in the latest Galactic Times newspaper.]

KERI SCHMIDT:
The article states that the Zangyu have split up, and are no longer a threat.

BROCK CRANSTON:
Well, the galleon is repaired, shall we continue on home?

COLIN SCOTT:
(as he finally throws in the towel)
Yeah...let’s go home!

EXT.-OLD QUARRY-DAY
[The core rangers face Kyatsu, and perform their roll call.]

ALL RANGERS:
(posing)
Heroes Setting Sail For Adventure! Power Rangers, hya!

[Kyatsu opens up the ornamentation on her shoulders to reveal six micro-torpedo launchers, and fires a salvo of micro-torpedoes to attack the rangers.]

RED HERO RANGER:
What the...!?

[The rangers get caught up in the resulting explosions.]

KYATSU:
Round two!

[Kyatsu fires another salvo of micro-torpedoes at the rangers, who prepare for the worst. The rangers change up into the Mystic Rangers, and put up their own barrier to deflect the micro-torpedoes back to Kyatsu and the Red Scurvies. The five then power down into their Hero Ranger forms, then utilize the keys from the recent power acquisition.]

RED HERO RANGER:
Let’s use the keys of our new powers!

[The Red Ranger changes into the Red Solar Ranger...the Green Ranger changes into the Black Mythic Ranger...the Pink Ranger changes into the Green Super Nova Ranger...the Blue Ranger changes into the Blue Light Ranger...and the Yellow Ranger changes into the Yellow Earth Ranger. Kyatsu charges in with her small hatchets followed by the staff-wielding Red Scurvies. The rangers charge in with their weapons to battle the five Zangyu (with the Red Ranger battling Kyatsu. Meanwhile, the Tri-Legend continues battling the four Scurvies in the background.]

SILVER HERO RANGER:
Heroic Magna Spin!

[Two Scurvies cackle in blue energy bolts, and explode. The Black Mythic Ranger overpowers a Red Scurvy and it’s staff, then uses an attack to crack the ground open to burn the Red Scurvy into oblivion. The Green Super Nova Ranger fires her blaster, but it is deflected by the Red Scurvy...but she then counters with her gloves to deliver punches to the minion, followed by her signature attack to make the Red Scurvy cackle in green energy bolt, and explode.]

GREEN SUPER NOVA RANGER:
He’s down for the count!

[The Blue Light Ranger uses his tonfas to defend from a Red Scurvy by delivering a strike to the minions’s gut, then switches to a pair of swords to destroy the minion, who cackles in blue, collapses, and explodes. The Yellow Earth Ranger strikes a Red Scurvy multiple times with her baton, along with several kicks. She then extends a ribbon to wrap the minion up so she can fire her blaster to make the minion spark.]

YELLOW EARTH RANGER:
Aw, All wrapped up, and no place to go!

[The Red Solar Ranger continues his battle with Kyatsu, and uses his sword against her blades in a fierce blade-to-blade battle. She then fires a salvo of her micro-torpedoes, but the Red Ranger uses his sword to deflect as he is pushed backward. He then leaps up to strike her with his finishing attack. Kyatsu then collapses in sparks, cackling in yellow energy bolts as the Red Scurvies, cackling in red energy bolts come flying in. The five rangers face the five Zangyu members, and see the four Red Scurvies exploding behind the general.]

KYATSU:
I’m still able to fight all five of you, rangers!

RED HERO RANGER:
(as he and the others revert to their Hero Ranger forms)
‘Ya think!?

SILVER HERO RANGER:
Time to bring the pain! Trident Mode!

[The Tri-Legend executes it’s attack to destroy two Scurvies as two more show up.]

ALL CORE RANGERS:
Heroic Galleon Cannon!

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

SILVER HERO RANGER:
(as he inserts his three keys)
Triple Legend Strike!

[The two Scurvies cackle in red energy bolts, collapse, and explode.

ALL CORE RANGERS:
Heroic Galleon Blast!

[The finisher from the cannon plows right through another salvo of Kyatsu’s micro-torpedoes, then strikes her.]

KYATSU:
I can’t be destroyed...not here!

[Kyatsu spins, and reacts in pain as she cackles in red energy bolts, and sparks as she collapses to her knees.]

Viva Zangyu!

[Kyatsu explodes.]

INT.-OUTER SPACE-STAMPEDER-BRIDGE-DAY
[King Monarchius and Dyran see the defeat of Kyatsu, and react.]

DYRAN:
(mockingly)
Sucks to be you, Kyatsu! Buh-bye!

KING MONARCHIUS:
Move the fleet in for attack!

EXT.-OLD QUARRY-DAY
[The Silver Ranger rejoins the others on the ground, and all celebrate a bit. Unfortunately, the celebration is very short-lived as the Zangyu Armada Fleet darkens the sky, surrounding the Stampeder.]

RED HERO RANGER:
Run!

[The thousands of ships swarm the city, firing on the rangers. The six are then forced out of morph, and must run from the blasts and resulting explosions.]

voice of DYRAN:
You will never out-run our ships!

voice of KING MONARCHIUS:
Surrender now, rangers!

COLIN SCOTT:
Never!

[The fleet continues to fire on the city, making citizens flee in fear. Kieran gets a bit tripped up, but is helped by DeAndre.]

KIERAN OLIVER:
(fearful)
The city!

DeANDRE TAYLOR:
Come on!

ALL CREWMEN:
(as they prepare their morphers and keys on the run)
It’s Morphin’ Time!

[The suits “flash-form” over the six, who then leap into their zords. The Hero Megazord, and Tri-Legend Dino are quickly formed, and prepare for battle.]

ALL CORE RANGERS:
Hero Power Bomber!

[The megazord fires cannonballs at several ships to destroy them.]

SILVER HERO RANGER:
Legend Laser!

[The attack from the Tri-Legend destroys several more ships. The zords keep firing to destroy more ships, but the zords get overwhelmed, as they are severely outnumbered. The ships open fire, forcing the Hero Megazord to do back flips to get out of the way.]

Look out!

[The Tri-Legend steps in front of the Hero Megazord, and takes a hit from a ship, making it rain sparks in the cockpit as the zord goes down. Meanwhile, the Hero Megazord gets blasted at, and sparks erupt in the cockpit. The ships continue to fire on the megazord, making it covered in sparks.]

GREEN HERO RANGER:
What are we gonna do? There’s just too many Armada ships!

YELLOW HERO RANGER:
Let’s use the keys!

[The core rangers utilize their SPD Keys, and summon Delta Runner One to form the megazord’s Delta Mode.]

ALL CORE RANGERS:
Hero Megazord, Delta Mode! Delta Sniper...Full Blast!

[The megazord opens fire with it’s gatling blasters to take out several more ships. The Delta Runner then leaps off of the megazord to attack with more blasts from it’s wheels.]

PINK HERO RANGER:
Lion Wildzord!

BLUE HERO RANGER:
Minizord!

[The Lion runs down the street growling as the Minizord arrives, and executes his Shuriken Storm technique as more ships get taken out. The Lion Wildzord uses it’s sharp claws to destroy even more ships.]

YELLOW HERO RANGER:
Guardian Adapters!

GREEN HERO RANGER:
Junglezord auras!

[The Adapters and auras leap up to the ships, and take out several dozen of them.

PINK HERO RANGER:
Nitro Eaglezord!

ALL HERO RANGERS:
(as the legs of the megazord detach)
Hero Megazord, Nitro Mode! Hover Mode!

[The megazord turns on it’s afterburners, and flies towards the fleet, and uses it’s swords to slice a ship in two.]

RED HERO RANGER:
You can handle these guys, Eagle!

EAGLE:
Leave it tome, Colin!

[The legs attach onto the megazord.]

ALL CORE RANGERS:
Mystic Dragon! Mystic Mode!

[The megazord uses it’s firepower to engage some fleet ships in a fiery dogfight.]

SILVER HERO RANGER:
Back in the game! Tri-Legend Megazord! Time to fly!

[The Silver Ranger sees the others flying around and wants to join...so he inserts his Silver Space Ranger key to summon the power of the Space Rangers. Soon, the wings of the Mega Winger form onto the back of the Tri-Legend.]

Tri-Legend Megazord...Space Mode! Legendary Winger Missile!

[The Tri-Legend takes out a few ships. The Hero Megazord then releases the Mystic Dragon so they can summon the Agent Jet, and form the megazord’s Agent Mode. The Hero Megazord tries to dodge blasts from multiple ships, and blasts back.]

Heroic Fallout Blast! Heroic Jet Afterburn!

[Hundreds of ships are destroyed, but many still remain as the two megazords join together, side-by-side. Soon, the Stampeder moves in. As more ships arrive, the two zords turn to look, and the rangers start to get discouraged.]

GREEN HERO RANGER:
We’ve never been up against this many!

[The ships open fire, and defeat the auxiliary zords, even forcing Eagle back to Machia through the wormhole. The Stampeder activates it’s cannons, and fires heat seeking missiles at the megazords, forcing them to try to outrun the missiles. The Tri-Legend Space Mode falls into the city and sparks fly in the cockpit, and erupts in an explosion.]

ALL CORE RANGERS:
(concerned)
Kieran!

[Some missiles then go for the Hero Megazord, and take it down, with sparks erupting in the cockpit. The rangers work on getting the megazord back on it’s feet, amongst burned-out buildings. On it’s back, the megazord stares down the Stampeder.]

INT.-CITY-STAMPEDER-BRIDGE-DAY
[King Monarchius stares at the megazord.]

KING MONARCHIUS:
Now is the time for you rangers to be destroyed!

INT.-CITY-DAY
[The Stampeder activates it’s cannons to launch another salvo of missiles at the megazord. The megazord erupts with explosions and blue energy bolts. A larger explosion ejects the now de-morphed core crewmen into various parts of the city. The megazord separates with the galleon suffering significant damage.

INT.-CITY-GALLEON-MAIN ROOM-DAY
[Blue energy bolts erupt in the room, causing fires, and frightening Navix, who is still protecting the pyramid in Colin’s chair.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[The six (Colin, Kieran, Keri and Nikki, DeAndre and Brock) land in the city amidst burning, smoking debris, unconscious.]

INT.-CITY-STAMPEDER-BRIDGE-DAY
[Dyran taunts toward the rangers.]

DYRAN:
Those pitiful rangers can’t fight back now! Let’s take the planet!

KING MONARCHIUS:
Not just yet...I want to play with the Earthen scum first!

DYRAN:
(a little depressed)
Awww!

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Monarchius activates a holographic image of himself to address the people of Earth.]

KING MONARCHIUS:
Attention, people of Earth! You’re saviors, the Power Rangers have fallen, and do not have the ability to defeat our vast invasion force!

[During the speech, the six crewmen all recover to their feet, and watch in anger as their enemy threatens the citizens of Earth.]

You have until sunrise, then you all will be exterminated!

[The Stampeder and Armada Ships vanish from the sky. The six crewmen grimly look forward to insurmountable odds, but have one goal in mind...get back to the galleon. TO BE CONTINUED...]

Based Upon
Kaizoku Sentai Gokaijaa, Episode #49: “The Greatest Treasure In The Universe (1)”
------------------------------------------------------
INT.-CITY-GALLEON-MAIN ROOM-DAY
[The team, sans Colin look at the keys of the Solar, Mythic, Super Nova, Light, and Earth Rangers, and discuss about them.]

BROCK CRANSTON:
I don’t know if we should use the power of these keys when we are not entitled to the powers.

NIKKI BUCHANAN:
It was Paco who took the keys, and infused the power into them.

[Colin comes upstairs, and the others show their concerns.]

KERI SCHMIDT:
Colin, you shouldn’t be up and about!

[Colin sits in his chair.]

KIERAN OLIVER:
We were thinking about these keys, and how to use them even after what Paco did to them.

[Colin gets up, and walks to the coffee table to join the others.]

COLIN SCOTT:
I see...

[Suddenly, the twenty-three keys glow in a golden aura.]

WHITE LIGHT DIMENSION
[The six are all bathed in white. The twenty-three keys appear in front of the six. The image of one ranger per group of keys appear, and nod their heads to the six crewmen, giving them their blessing. Soon, the core five hold the keys...Colin with the Solar Keys, DeAndre with the Light Keys, Nikki with the Super Nova Keys, Keri with the Earth Keys, and Brock with the Mythic Keys while Kieran watches in awe.]

INT.-CITY-GALLEON-MAIN ROOM-DAY
[The six return to their dimension, and the five groups of keys sparkle.]

NAVIX:
What happened, guys?

COLIN SCOTT:
We’re going after the greatest power ever! Now, Navix...turn into the doorway!

NAVIX:
Wha???

INT.-OUTER SPACE-STAMPEDER-BRIDGE-DAY
[Dyran reports to King Monarchius.]

DYRAN:
Sire! The fleet will arrive soon!

[Kyatsu enters the room.]

KYATSU:
Congratulations, sire.

DYRAN:
You were part of that dopey trio that let Prince Kraken get destroyed by those rangers! Even when we do take the Earth, you may not be around to enjoy the party!

[Kyatsu realizes that she no longer has a place with the Zangyu, and turns to Monarchius.]

KING MONARCHIUS:
Now is the time to prove your worthiness to the empire, Kyatsu.

INT.-CITY-GALLEON-MAIN ROOM-DAY
[After being man-handled by the crew, Navix collapses to the floor. A bit dejected, Colin sits in his command chair, and opens the key chest, which allows all of the Red Ranger keys to glow. The glow overtakes Navix, and turns her into a brown door, bound by thirty-four chains and locks, all in the shape of a “V.”]

COLIN SCOTT:
She turned into a door! Help me out, guys!

[The crew all grab the thirty-four Red Ranger keys, insert them into the locks, and turn. Once all of the keys are inserted and turned, they glow red, and the chains blow off of the door, blowing the keys back to the chest. Inside the doorway is a cavernous entry.]

Let’s go!

[the six crewmen enter the doorway.]

DOORWAY DIMENSION\CENTER OF THE EARTH
[The six walk through the stone-lined hallway, and come to a circular room with a small obelisk in the middle with two smaller obelisk-like objects on either side. The central pyramid lights up in a golden hue, revealing a black center. The room then lights up, and the six cautiously approach. Colin gets a bit closer, and picks the small pyramid off of it’s pedestal as it glows more. Colin then turns to the rest of the crew, and the pyramid starts to talk.]

PYRAMID:
Welcome to the center of the Earth. I am the will of the planet, and am using this pyramid as a medium. You six are true Power Rangers. In order to save the Earth from the Zangyu Empire, you must use the power of this device along with the Power Keys, and all your dreams will come true.

COLIN SCOTT:
That’s all?

PYRAMID:
Yes.

NIKKI BUCHANAN:
You mean, my mother will come back to life?

PYRAMID:
Yes.

DeANDRE TAYLOR:
Ray Chacon will be revived?

PYRAMID:
Yes.

COLIN SCOTT:
And the other rangers will have their powers back?

PYRAMID:
No. In order to re-shape the universe, the power of the thirty-four rangers groups must be used, and their powers and existence will be erased from history. Please think about what you want before performing the ritual.

INT.-CITY-GALLEON-MAIN ROOM-DAY
[The six exit the doorway, and the doors close, allowing Navix to return to normal. Colin then places the pyramid device over the open key chest as all six gather. All think about what they want to do, then join hands.]

COLIN SCOTT:
Stay focused, everyone!

[The six close their eyes to concentrate, and the keys start glowing...until Brock stops the process.]

BROCK CRANSTON:
Wait, guys...

KERI SCHMIDT:
What?

BROCK CRANSTON:
Something that the pyramid said made me think...in order to re-shape the universe, the power of the thirty-four rangers groups must be used, and their powers and existence will be erased from history. The legendary rangers entrusted us with their powers!

KIERAN OLIVER:
He’s right!

[Suddenly, the galleon is rocked as the alarms ring out. Brock hurries over to the computer to check the sensors. A visual of the attacking object flashes on the viewscreen...Kyatsu’s own megazord.]

NIKKI BUCHANAN:
I don’t believe it! She’s got her own megazord!

BROCK CRANSTON:
She calls it the TacKnight Megazord.

KERI SCHMIDT:
Well, they got the “Tac” part right...as in “tacky!”

COLIN SCOTT:
(as he puts the pyramid device in his chair)
Watch this for us! We got work to do!

[The six crewmen depart the room for the Powerzords. Navix flies onto Colin’s chair to guard the pyramid device.]

EXT.-OLD QUARRY-DAY
[The TacKnight Megazord fires it’s beam weapons at the galleon, which then releases the other Powerzords, and the Hero Megazord is formed.]

ALL CORE RANGERS:
Hero Megazord!

[The TacKnight uses it’s claw-like hands to attack the megazord, but the robot uses it’s Dual Heroic Sabers to counter and deflect. The Tri-Legend Drill then emerges from the time-hole, and the Silver Ranger leaps inside.]

SILVER HERO RANGER:
Heroic Drill Attack!

[The TacKnight is deflected in time to see the Hero Megazord flying in the air to come down slicing, but the TacKnight uses it’s claw hands to deflect the attack. The Hero Megazord starts to fall backward, but is caught and helped back up by the Tri-Legend Megazord, which formed it’s megazord mode off-screen.]

RED HERO RANGER:
Thanks, Kieran!

SILVER HERO RANGER:
Anytime!

[The TacKnight leaps in to attempt an attack, but is deflected by the Hero Megazord and it’s swords, but succeeds in making the two robots spark. The TacKnight then fires it’s beam weapon to drive the two megazords backward, and onto the ground on their backs. As the two megazords recover, they are attacked by four enlarged Scurvies.]

GREEN HERO RANGER:
Not them!

SILVER HERO RANGER:
I’ll handle these guys while you handle Kyatsu and her megazord.

[The Silver Ranger pilots his zord against the four enlarged minions. The core rangers insert their Ninja Storm Keys to summon the Minizord, and the megazord forms it’s Storm Mode. Meanwhile, the Tri-Legend takes two of the four Scurvies literally for a spin and toss, but is then attacked by the other two minions.]

RED HERO RANGER:
Shuriken Chain! Blade Mode!

[The megazord uses the blade to battle the TacKnight, then the rangers turn the keys again to execute the finishers.]

ALL CORE RANGERS:
Heroic Storm Attack!

[The Minizord leaps out of the megazord, and forms multiple copies of himself.]

MINIZORD:
Mini Storm!

[The multiple copies of the Minizord utilize their shuriken weapons, and charge at the TacKnight, which counters by putting up it’s barrier shielding. The Minizords are deflected away before the TacKnight fires it’s beam weapon again to cause sparks on the outside and inside the cockpit.]

BLUE HERO RANGER:
That thing’s powerful!

RED HERO RANGER:
Not as powerful as Kraken’s zord several months ago. We can defeat that thing if we put our minds together!

GREEN HERO RANGER:
Let’s use the Mythic Power!

[The Green Ranger inserts his Mythic Key, and the megazord’s cannon emerges.]

ALL CORE RANGERS:
Heroic Mythic Bomber!

[A concentrated blast of energy is fired through the cannon, but the TacKnight puts up it’s barrier shielding in a last-ditch effort of protection, but the attack shatters the forcefield, causing it to spark in the cockpit around Kyatsu. The Blue Ranger then inserts his Light Key, and the megazord flies up into the air to slash it’s sword.]

Heroic Energy Aura Attack!

[The attack allows the megazord to slice both arms of the TacKnight off of the rest of the robot to cause a huge amount of sparks. Meanwhile, the Red Ranger inserts his Kendo Key.]

RED HERO RANGER:
Fire Striker!

ALL CORE RANGERS:
Heroic Sword Slash!

[The execution of the finisher forces Kyatsu to abandon the TacKnight as it explodes into a fireball. The core rangers leap out of the Hero Megazord-Kendo Mode when they notice that Kyatsu is on the ground. The five battle Kyatsu as the Tri-Legend continues to battle the four Scurvies in the background, and get a lucky hit on the Tri-Legend while the Silver Ranger is distracted.]

SILVER HERO RANGER:
Lucky shot! My turn!

[The core rangers face Kyatsu, and perform their roll call.]

RED HERO RANGER:
(posing)
Red Ranger!

BLUE HERO RANGER:
(posing)
Blue Ranger!

YELLOW HERO RANGER:

GREEN HERO RANGER:

ALL RANGERS:

Heroes Setting Sail For Adventure! Power Rangers, hya!

[The core rangers ready their weapons. Soon, red energy bolts hit the rangers as four Red Scurvies arrive, leaping in with their staffs.]

RED SCURVY:
Dyran sent us to help you.

KYATSU:
He better not expect any praise for this! But I have something up my sleeve...

[Kyatsu opens up the ornamentation on her shoulders to reveal six micro-torpedo launchers, and fires a salvo of micro-torpedoes to attack the rangers.]

RED HERO RANGER:
What the...!?

[The rangers get caught up in the resulting explosions.]

KYATSU:
Round two!

[Kyatsu fires another salvo of micro-torpedoes at the rangers, who prepare for the worst. TO BE CONTINUED...]

Meanwhile, on the second floor of the lobby, the Red Star Ranger gets overpowered by the Caprisects, and is blasted by Trijira, and is knocked to the first floor, and ducks into the hallway as well, dodging more laser blasts. The Red Hero Ranger then checks to see if the coast is clear, but gets blasted by Trijira, and rolls into another hallway...the Red Star Ranger gets blasted as well.]

[The two Yellow Rangers put their plans into action, and get caught up into each other. Yogoshima uses energy bolts from his staff to make all four rangers go flying.

The Red Hero Ranger goes to cover Heath. He then dodges more laser blasts as he runs down a hallway, then comes to an open elevator. The Red Hero Ranger sees more laser blasts coming toward the mother and two children in the elevator car, and puts himself in harm’s way to protect them, taking the hit.]

This is how Trijira knew our every move.

YELLOW HERO RANGER:
That all you got, Kyatsu!?

KYATSU:
Foilers!

[The minions appear, and the rangers decide to change things up. The six insert their Nitro Defender Keys, and speed-charge in to destroy some of the minions. Then, the core rangers change up into the Nuclear Rangers. The group then performs a “power exhaust” maneuver to fry more Foiler in a large puff of smoke. Behind a nearby pillar, two humans put a plan into action. The two are Diego and Kyrie Maxa, members of Space Command, and former Star Rangers.]

DYRAN:
Red Scurvies!

Foilers!

YELLOW EARTH RANGER:
Let’s use the Star Ranger powers!

RED EARTH RANGER:
Good idea!

[The six rangers prepare their Star Ranger Power Keys, but before they can insert the keys into the morphers, the Maxa siblings rush in to take the keys. Diego reveals the keys for the Red, Black, and Pink Star Rangers while his sister has the Blue and Yellow Star Ranger keys. The Earth Rangers power down into their Hero Ranger forms, and are super angry.]

PINK HERO RANGERS:
We’re all rangers! Why are you doing this?

[Heath, Melissa, and Aquios join the other two, and everyone reclaims their keys. The five officers hold the keys in their hands to their chests, and retake the powers. With a bright flash of white light, the Star Ranger suits form over the five. They are ecstatic to have their powers back.]

RED STAR RANGER:
We need the powers back so we can defend the Earth.

KYATSU:
Who are these guys!?

[The Foilers use their weapons to open fire on the ten rangers.]

RED HERO RANGER:
Hand those keys back!

RED STAR RANGER:
You still have the key of the Silver Star Ranger...hand it over!

RED HERO RANGER:
Never!

[The Red Star Ranger goes to fire his Star Pistol at the Red Hero Ranger, but he sees it.]

Wrong!

[Both sides use their weapons, and charge in to battle each other (against their counterparts...with the Black Star Ranger against the Green Hero Ranger). The Blue Star Ranger fires his Guardian Spear’s Blue Shark Attack, but the Blue Hero Ranger uses his cutlass to deflect the multiple energy arrows. The Green Hero Ranger tries to take the Guardian Axe from the Black Star Ranger, but cannot handle it’s weight. He is then punched by the Black Ranger, who then kicks to deflect the Green Ranger’s shooting skills. Both Pink Rangers, and Yellow Rangers battle each other. Soon, both Red Rangers battle on, but the Red Star Ranger uses his Guardian Sword to deflect, then both sword-fight. When the Red Star Ranger goes rolling, the other Star Rangers go to his aid.]

ALL STAR RANGERS:
Heath!

[The Star Rangers piece together the Guardian Sword and Guardian Blaster followed by the Guardian Spear with the Guardian Axe and Guardian Claw on either side. Then, the Red, Pink, Black, Yellow, and Blue Rangers then place cards (which grow into proportion) onto their weapons.]

Guardian Cannon! Star Blast!

[Three separate symbols are sent toward the Hero Rangers, but they counter with their Dual Heroic Wave. Both sides fire their weapons, causing an energy blast to make both teams get blown away.]

EXT.-CITY-PARKING GARAGE-DAY
[The six crewmen struggle to recover.]

KERI SCHMIDT:
Those Star Rangers are tough!

NIKKI BUCHANAN:
Why are they acting this way?

BROCK CRANSTON:
And what’s this about the Silver Star Ranger?

DeANDRE TAYLOR:
I still have energy to fight...

COLIN SCOTT:
...Nah. Let’ get back to the ship for now.

INT.-OUTER SPACE-STAMPEDER-BRIDGE-DAY
[King Monarchius is upset as Kyatsu and Dyran report to their leader.]

KING MONARCHIUS:
The plan is proceeding well.

[Suddenly, a dark cloud approaches the front of the ship, and enters the bridge from the outside. The two Foiler pilots then combust into flames as the cloud materializes into Crossius.]

CROSSIUS:
I am Crossius, sworn enemy of the Agent Rangers. The grudges of previously destroyed beings have revived me from the Shadow World.

KING MONARCHIUS:
Yes, my top warrior from Onyx, who wants to rid the universe of any Power Ranger.

CROSSIUS:
My first order of business is to rid this miserable planet of the Star Rangers and Hero Rangers!

INT.-CITY-GALLEON-MAIN ROOM-DAY
[The five crewmen discuss the Star Ranger situation as Brock fishes through the key chest.]

BROCK CRANSTON:
This must be what they are talking about

[Suddenly, Colin senses something...the ship then rocks violently as three Guardian Adapters attack. A visual of the Star Megazord plays on the viewscreen.]

COLIN SCOTT:
So! They wanna play! Battle stations!

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[The Hero Rangers form the Hero Megazord, and get set to fight the Star Megazord, which is then slammed into the ground as it touches down on land. The Star Megazord recovers, coming up as the SeaStar Megazord, which shocks the Hero Rangers.]

YELLOW HERO RANGER:
They can upgrade too!?

[The SeaStar Megazord charges at the Hero Megazord, which is armed with the Dual Heroic Sabers, and swordfights with the SeaStar Megazord’s swordfish arm. In the cockpit of the SeaStar Megazord, the Red Star Ranger is not in his seat.]

INT.-CITY-GALLEON\HERO MEGAZORD-MAIN ROOM-DAY
[The Red Star Ranger teleports in, frightening Navix a bit.]

NAVIX:
An intruder!

RED STAR RANGER:
(quietly, putting index finger to mouthpiece)
Shhhh!

[The Red Star Ranger sees the key chest, and opens it to see the Silver Star Ranger key. Suddenly, the Red Star Ranger is blasted by the Red Hero Ranger, and his Crossbone Musket. The Red Star Ranger counters with his Star Pistol, only to be deflected by the Red Hero Ranger’s Crossbone Cutlass. The Red Star Ranger gets his hands on the chest, and a swordfight breaks out in the room.]

EXT.-OLD QUARRY-DAY
[As the two megazords continue to battle in the background, the two Red Rangers battle on the ground for the key chest, and the Power Keys inside. As the Red Star Ranger gets blasted back, he drops the chest, and it opens up. He tries to go for the keys, but the Red Hero Ranger slides to snatch it back...but the Red Star Ranger gets his hands on the Silver Star Ranger key.]

RED HERO RANGER:
What!?

RED STAR RANGER:
Got it!

[The two megazords continue to battle each other. Above the battle, the Stampeder arrives, and activates a cannon launcher from it’s bottom, with a trio of barrels. The ship fires on the two megazords, and the two Red Rangers on the ground.]

RED HERO RANGER:
The Stampeder!

[Crossius teleports onto a rock cropping, and introduces himself.]

CROSSIUS:
I am Crossius...the destructor of your world!

RED STAR RANGER:
I thought that the Agent Rangers destroyed you several years ago!

CROSSIUS:
The grudges of previously destroyed beings have revived me from the Shadow World. And now, I will summon three of the most vile warriors from that realm to have some fun with you!

[Yogoshima, Sculpin, and Trijira materialize from dark energy, and face the rangers. All three have similar-looking belts around their torsos, which have rectangular red buckles with a black cross shape in the middle.]

GREEN HERO RANGER:
Sculpin...one of the Ten Terrors that fought the Mystic Rangers!

RED HERO RANGER:
Yogoshima...one of the Neo Machine Empire’s warriors that fought the Nitro Defender Rangers!

RED STAR RANGER:
No way! Trijira! I thought we destroyed him a few years ago!

[The three then cross their weapons to make them and the rangers vanish. Crossius then laughs maniacally before vanishing as well.]

NAVIX:
Where’d you guys go!

[Navix hops forward, then trips on a small rock. Turning her head, she then sees the gleam of the Silver Star Ranger key in the grass.]

INT.-CITY-OFFICE BUILDING-DAY (Alternate Dimension)
[Everyone goes about their normal day. A bright yellow light flashes, freezing everyone in place before Colin and Heath teleport in. The two investigate their surroundings.]

COLIN SCOTT:
What is this!?

EXT.-FOREST-DAY (Alternate Dimension)
[Aquios, Melissa, Brock, and Nikki teleport onto a suspension bridge. The four recover to investigate their surroundings...with Brock realizing that it is a long way down.]

BROCK CRANSTON:
Yikes! That’s a long way down!

EXT.-GHOST TOWN-DAY (Alternate Dimension)
[Diego, Kyrie, DeAndre, and Keri teleport onto a pathway in the middle of an old western-like ghost town. Once on their feet, the quartet are met by ninjas in black, who charge at them, and surround them.]

DeANDRE TAYLOR:
Looks like it’s gonna be one of those days!

INT.-CITY-OFFICE BUILDING-DAY (Alternate Dimension)
[The two investigate a bit further. A flat-screen television turns on, and a message from Trijira plays on that monitor, and other monitors in the room.]

voice of TRIJIRA:
This building is under my control. You two cannot leave until you defeat me. This is my new hunting game. Caprisects!

[Suddenly, a swarm of Caprisects enters the room, forcing Heath and Colin to fight them. The two lead the minions into the hallway. Heath goes for his Star Morpher and Star Card as Colin goes for his Hero Morpher and Red Hero Ranger Power Key. Both transform into their ranger forms.]

HEATH REGAN:
‭Star Morpher, Insert Card! Activate!

COLIN SCOTT:
It’s Morphin’ Time!

[The two activate their morphers, and begin the transformation process. TO BE CONTINUED...]
