PRPS #16-Schooled

Based Upon:
Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger,‭ Episode #14‬: “Oh, No! Spirit Base"
----------------------------------------------
INT.-CITY-MIKO’S HOUSE-LIVING ROOM-NIGHT
[Miko is sitting on the couch, looking none-too-pleased as Jim berates her for a subpar grade on a German Studies test...she got a 70% on the exam.]

JIM YORK:
A seventy percent!? This will not do, Miko!

INT.-ANTARCTICA-FROZEN CASTLE-NIGHT
[Lukuro eats while reading a popular Manga. Sentry enters, and berates Lukuro.]

SENTRY:
This is what you do on your free time? You should be coming up with ways to defeat the Paleo Rangers! SO...I want you to lead the next mission.

LUKURO:
Me!?

[Sentry looks down at Lukuro with a convincing expression, which scares her.]

INT.-CITY-MIKO’S HOUSE-LIVING ROOM-NIGHT
[Jim continues to berate Miko.]

JIM YORK:
Maybe your duties as a ranger are getting in the way! Maybe I should tell your parents in Hawaii.

MIKO INOUE:
No! Please don’t! My father wouldn’t understand!

INT.-ANTARCTICA-FROZEN CASTLE-NIGHT
[Lukuro thinks of a scary, unpleasant thought, and conveys it to the pillars. The pillars produce a teacher-themed DavroMon, TERROR TEACHER.]

TERROR TEACHER:
Our mission will be to locate the rangers’ base, and destroy it.

SENTRY:
I like the plan...proceed!

TERROR TEACHER:
(as he as Lukuro depart the base)
I will teach you like you’ver never been taught before...now get your lazy poor excuse for an evil general going!

EXT.-CITY-ALLEYWAY-DAY
[A little later, the four team members walk toward a cemented square on the roadway.]

DARIC KAYSON:
Poor Miko.

TYSON KIRKLAND:
Heard she got a “C” on her German Studies test.

[Daric takes out his Paleo Blaster, and fires it for the four of them to enter the Sacred Ground. A lone MaZoDe sees them.]

INT.-ABANDONED SCHOOL-CLASSROOM-DAY
[Terror Teacher lectures Lukuro.]

TERROR TEACHER:
Now...Chikyu and the power of the Paleo Rangers reside in what was once known as the Golden Land. Millions of years later, that Golden Land is now the Golden State of California.]

LUKURO:
So...how do we destroy the Sacred Ground?

TERROR TEACHER:
(angered)
You will refer to me as “sir!”

[Terror Teacher hits Lukuro with his teacher’s stick, electrocuting her, then shows the bomb.]

We’ll destroy their base with this!

[Soon, the MaZoDe arrives to tell what it saw.]

Excellent!

INT.-CITY-PARK-BOTANICAL GARDENS-TEA HOUSE-DAY
[Jim continues to teach Miko the proper way to make tea.]

JIM YORK:
I have brought in a special tutor for you.]

[Ken enters the room.]

MIKO INOUE:
Traitor!

EXT.-CITY-PARK-BOTANICAL GARDENS-TEA HOUSE-DAY
[Ken and Jim go into another room to set up as Miko sulks, and changes her sitting position from on her knees to stretching her legs out. Miko’s “laziness” infuriates Terror Teacher, and the DavroMon confronts Miko, who reaches for her Paleo Blaster and Paleo Charger.]

A DavroMon! Let’s Rock!

[Miko readies her morpher, but when she goes to stand up, her weak legs give out, and she falls. Miko’s Paleo Blaster goes flying onto the ground, and Lukuro picks it up.]

LUKURO:
Now we can use this to get into the Sacred Ground!

[As Lukuro runs off, Miko crawls toward Terror Teacher, who picks her up by the hair. Ken and Jim come running to see the commotion.]

MIKO INOUE:
Ken! Lukuro has my morpher!

TERROR TEACHER:
I know how it is to teach someone who is improper.

[The DavroMon and Miko vanish, as Ken tries to run after her. Suddenly, Ken sees two Giant MaZoDe looming over the skyscrapers in Downtown, who blast at him, forcing him to dodge the fireballs. Soon, the Black Ranger’s Parasaur Paleozord arrives, and uses it’s Para Beam to blast the two giant minions. The male core team members run in to join Ken, and summon the Paleozords to help take out the two Giant MaZoDe.]

KEN FERRADAY:
Thanks, guys...but I have pressing news...Miko has been captured, and they also took her Paleo Blaster.

EXT.-CITY-ALLEYWAY-DAY
[Lukuro races toward the entrance, but sees Chikyu appear, and hides as the bird-like mentor walks away. She then uses Miko’s blaster to access the rangers’ base.

EXT.-CITY-PARK-BOTANICAL GARDENS-TEA HOUSE-DAY
[The five team members and Chikyu talk with a dejected Jim, who is blaming himself.]

DARIC KAYSON:
Don’t worry, Mr. York. We’ll get her back!

JIM YORK:
Oh! I just remembered...I placed a tracking device into her necklace...we can track where she’s at right now!

[Chikyu then senses trouble.]

CHIKYU:
Rangers...the Sacred Ground is in danger. Lukuro has used Miko’s Paleo Blaster to access the base!

DARIC KAYSON:
Ken...you and Jim see to rescuing Miko. We’ll handle the intrusion at the base.

INT.-SACRED GROUND-DAY
[Lukuro lands in the base, and explores a bit. She sees the Paleo Charger charging station. She then takes the bomb out of her pouch, and places it into the middle of the charging station. Lukuro then sees a copy of the same Manga that she was reading earlier...but the next volume. Soon, the male team members teleport into the base, and chase Lukuro around a bit. Chikyu then teleports in and watches the team members utilize their Paleo Chargers and Blasters.]

CHIKYU:
We’re in the base, so be careful.

ALL MALE CORE TEAM MEMBERS:
Let’s Rock!

[The four morph into Paleo Rangers, and continue to battle Lukuro.]

INT.-ABANDONED SCHOOL-CLASSROOM-DAY
[A bound Miko is forced to endure a Davros-version of the practice exam of German Studies...but this time, she scores an 80%, and is excited.]

MIKO INOUE:
(excited)
I did better than last time!

TERROR TEACHER:
That’s only because the questions were too east!

[Just as the DavroMon is about to use his teacher’s stick on Miko, Ken (with Jim in tow) blasts through the door. Jim tries to rush in.]

KEN FERRADAY:
Better stay back for now. Let’s Rock!

[Ken loads a Paleo Charger into his gauntlet, morphs.]

GOLD PALEO RANGER:
Okay, Mr. York...go for it!

[As the Gold Ranger battles Terror Teacher, and kicks him out a window, Jim moves in to free Miko from the ropes.]

EXT.-ABANDONED SCHOOL-YARD-DAY
[Terror Teacher lands with a thud, followed by the Gold Ranger. The DavroMon attacks the ranger with his “pencil blaster,” forcing the ranger to dodge the blasts. The Gold Ranger fires blasts from his gauntlet to make Terror Teacher spark, then the Gold Ranger uses his aerial-based skills to attack the DavroMon to make him go down.]

TERROR TEACHER:
You need to be taught a lesson, Gold Ranger!

GOLD PALEO RANGER:
I’ll be teaching you this lesson...Ptera Baton!

[The Gold Ranger loads two Paleo Chargers into the weapon.]

Lightning Shockwave!

[The attack is executed, and Terror Teacher’s teaching stick dissolves as the DavroMon is weakened a bit. The Gold Ranger then loads a third battery into the weapon.]

Lightning Crash!

[Terror Teacher cackles in red energy bolts, sparks, and explodes as the Gold Ranger poses victoriously.

INT.-SACRED GROUND-DAY
[Lukuro goes rolling on the ground, releasing Miko’s Paleo Blaster. The weapon is retrieved by the Red Ranger, who uses it to force Lukuro onto the teleportation pad.]

LUKURO:
Whoa! That bomb is freaking me out!

[The four rangers take notice.]

BLACK PALEO RANGER:
Bomb!?

[The bomb has now tripled in size. When Miko and the Gold Ranger teleport in, Lukuro is able to escape in the teleport beam. The Red Ranger removes the bomb from the charging station, and Chikyu knows what it is.]

CHIKYU:
That is a Hyper Bomb...capable of not only destroying the Sacred Ground...but the entire western United States as well. It’ll keep increasing in size until it blows.

[While in the hands of the Blue Ranger, the bomb doubles in size again.]

BLUE PALEO RANGER:
Whoa! It got bigger!

MIKO INOUE:
Why not let it explode...but in a safe area...like outer space?

RED PALEO RANGER:
Sounds like a plan. Here’s your morpher, Miko...let’s go!

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[The Red, Blue, and Pink Rangers activate their Paleo Chargers, and summon the Tyrannosaurus, Stegosaurus, and Triceratops Paleozords.]

RED PALEO RANGER, BLUE PALEO RANGER, AND PINK PALEO RANGER:
Paleozords...Arise!

[Jim runs into the open to watch, but sees the very large bomb which has grown to building size. The zords start to arrive in the city.]

PINK PALEO RANGER:
Jim! Please get to safety! Let us take care of this!

RED PALEO RANGER, BLUE PALEO RANGER, AND PINK PALEO RANGER:
Paleozords...combine!

[The three zords combine into a megazord mode.]

ALL CORE RANGERS:
Paleo Megazord!

GOLD PALEO RANGER:
Pteranodon Paleozord! Arise!

ALL RANGERS:
Combine!

[The Paleo Megazord runs, and leaps upward for the Ptera Paleozord to attach onto the back, and parts form over the helmet. The Gold Ranger enters the main cockpit, and is positioned between the Blue and Red Rangers.]

DinoMax Megazord! Let’s rumble!

[The DinoMax Megazord picks up the large bomb, and blasts off into space.]

EXT.-OUTER SPACE
[The DinoMax Megazord enters outer space, and lets the bomb go, where it detonates.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[In the city below, Jim watches the explosion, and is worried for Miko’s safety. Soon, the megazord flies in, and lands on it’s feet to pose victoriously as the six celebrate in the cockpit.]

EXT.-CITY-ALLEYWAY-DAY
[Later, Lukuro shows Sentry where the entrance is...but the cement marker is gone.]

SENTRY:
(angered)
Well...where is it?

LUKURO:
It was here!

[Sentry uses a copy of Terror Teacher’s teacher stick to shock Lukuro...much to her dismay.}

INT.-SACRED GROUND-DAY
[The six team members and Chikyu talk.]

CHIKYU:
I have taken precautions with the base entrances. They will no longer be visible until in contact with a Paleo Blaster.

MIKO INOUE:
We haven’t seen Erutan lately...where is he?

CHIKYU:
He is out trying to find a lost Paleo Charger. He should be back soon.

[Miko then goes to another area to sit, and read her Manga.]
