PRPS #25: Future Shock

Original Episode
‭------------------------------------------------------------------------
‭EXT.-CITY-PARK-DAY
[On a Saturday morning, Robbie is in the park, kicking around a soccer ball back-and-forth with his niece, Rina.]

ROBBIE MENDOZA:
You’re getting good, Rina!

RINA UDO:
Uncle Robbie...what’s it like being a ranger?

ROBBIE MENDOZA:
It is the greatest feeling ever...having the ability to help others, and protect the universe.

RINA UDO:
When I grow up, I want to be a ranger too!

ROBBIE MENDOZA:
I have no doubt that you will make an excellent ranger.

INT.-ANTARCTICA-FROZEN CASTLE-DAY
[The three War Knights and Lukuro all gather in the main chamber. The quartet await Sentry, who then enters.]

AIGAR:
(anxiously)
So, whose turn is it to lead a mission?

SENTRY:
All of yours. Master Davros wants to try to divide and conquer the rangers.

[Sentry puts his hand on each of the three “Emoti-columns” to create an army of Cambeasts.]

EXT.-CITY-ROBBIE’S HOUSE-DAY
[Robbie and Rina arrive home, just as Robbie’s Buckle-Com beeps.]

ROBBIE MENDOZA:
Tell your mom that I had to go fix something. Duty calls.

RINA UDO:
Be careful!

[Robbie smiles at Rina, and departs.]

EXT.-CITY-PLAZA-DAY
[The six team members arrive, and face the three War Knights, who are flanked by several dozen MaZoDe on one side, and several dozen Cambeasts (with enhanced clubs) on the other.]

ROBBIE MENDOZA:
Look at all of them!

CHRIS RUTLEDGE:
Looks like we’re in for a rough battle.

[The six team members unite, and stand in a row. They take out their Paleo Chargers, activate them, and place them into their morphing devices.]

ALL:
Let’s Rock!

[The six press the triggers on their weapons. The Paleo Ranger suits fly around, and form over their bodies, letting them become Paleo Rangers.]

ALL RANGERS:
(posing)
We Are The Bravest Heroes! Power Rangers...Paleo Strike!

[The rangers charge in with their weapons, blasting and slicing. The two groups of minions split up forcing the rangers to do the same. The Black and Green Rangers handle the MaZoDe...the Green and Pink Rangers take on the Cambeasts...and the Red and Blue Rangers go after the War Knights. The divide-and-conquer technique seems to be working in the favor of the Davros Legion. Soon, the six exhausted rangers are gathered into a group, and surrounded by the minions...they’re trapped! The rangers try to regain their composure and strength. Chikyu arrives, tries to battle the War Knights with her sword. Soon, the rangers are able to recover enough to wipe out much of the minions.]

BLUE PALEO RANGER:
There’s still too many of them!

[Suddenly, another ranger, a female clad in yellow arrives.]

YELLOW PALEO RANGER:
(activating her Paleo Charger, inserting it into her Paleo Blaster)
Let’s Rock! Chain Crusher!

[More of the minions are defeated. The Yellow Ranger starts blasting at the War Knights, who decide that with another ranger around, they better retreat.]

D’GOL:
We will return, rangers!

RED PALEO RANGER:
They retreated!?

CHIKYU:
(looking at the Yellow Ranger)
Maybe we should do the same. There’s much to discuss.

INT.-ANTARCTICA-FROZEN CASTLE-DAY
[The War Knights return, and tell Sentry everything.]

SENTRY:
You fools did not destroy the rangers!?

CANDELIRA:
We almost had them...until another ranger showed up...a ranger in yellow!

SENTRY:
(angry)
What!!!???

INT.-SACRED GROUND-DAY
[The team, now unmorphed, discuss the situation, and inquire things about the mysterious Yellow Ranger, who is still morphed.]

CHIKYU:
Who are you?

YELLOW PALEO RANGER:
I am the Yellow Paleo Ranger. I cannot tell you my name...as I am from nine years into the future, and if I tell you guys my name, it may damage the timeline...but, I assure you that I am an ally. In fact, I knew all of you while I was growing up. Daric, Chris, Tyson, Miko...and especially you, Robbie. I do not want to contaminate the current timeline...but I will help you all as much as I can.

[Suddenly, Chikyu gets wind of an attack. The six main team members grab their morphers, and teleport out with the Yellow Ranger.]

EXT.-CITY-INDUSTRIAL PARK-DAY
[The Yellow Ranger and the six other team members arrive, and face the three War Knights, who are now joined by Sentry and Lukuro. Soon, the Cyan and Gray Paleo Warriors arrive as well. The main six step forward, and utilize their batteries and morphers.]

ALL:
Let’s Rock!

[The suits fly around the main six, and form onto their bodies. the nine rangers perform their roll calls.]

RED PALEO RANGER:
(posing with colored explosions)
The Fanged Hero! Red Paleo Ranger!

BLACK PALEO RANGER:
(posing with colored explosions)
The Blasting Hero! Black Paleo Ranger!

BLUE PALEO RANGER:
(posing with colored explosions)
The Armored Hero! Blue Paleo Ranger!

GREEN PALEO RANGER:
(posing with colored explosions)
The Slicing Hero! Green Paleo Ranger!

PINK PALEO RANGER:
(posing with colored explosions)
The Sharp Heroine! Pink Paleo Ranger!

GOLD PALEO RANGER:
(posing with colored explosions)
The Thunderwing Hero! Gold Paleo Ranger!

CYAN PALEO WARRIOR:
(posing with colored explosions)
The Steel Hero! Cyan Paleo Warrior!

GRAY PALEO WARRIOR:
(posing with colored explosions)
The Hammering Hero! Gray Paleo Warrior!

YELLOW PALEO RANGER:
(posing with colored explosions)
The Crushing Hero! Yellow Paleo Ranger!

ALL RANGERS:
(posing with colored explosions followed by a fireball)
We Are The Bravest Heroes! Power Rangers...Paleo Strike!

[Sentry recites a spell in another language, which results with hundreds of MaZoDe materializing. The nine rangers prepare their weapons and themselves for battle. Both sides charge in for a bladed melee-battle as the generals watch.]

CORE FIVE RANGERS:
(as they roll the barrel of their blasters down their right arms)
Jurassic Mode, Engage!

[The armor forms onto their arms, and their Jurassic Weapon forms into their right hands.]

YELLOW PALEO RANGER:
Robbie! Use the Dino Diggers!

[The Blue Ranger activates the number twelve Paleo Charger, and inserts it into his Paleo Blaster, and rolls the barrel down his left arm to activate the “double power-up.]

BLUE PALEO RANGER:
Paleo Brave Finish!

YELLOW PALEO RANGER:
Chain Crusher!

[The combined attack takes out several dozen MaZoDe. The nine rangers then line up to perform their attacks.]

ALL CORE PALEO RANGERS AND YELLOW PALEO RANGER:
Paleo Brave Finish!

GOLD PALEO RANGER:
Lightning Strike!

CYAN PALEO WARRIOR:
Spirit Hammer!

GRAY PALEO WARRIOR:
Wrecking Ball Strike!

[The nine-way attack takes out a large amount of minions.]

SENTRY:
(to the MaZoDe)
The rest of you...merge!

[The remaining minions all clump together to form three Giant MaZoDe. Sentry and the generals then vanish.]

BLUE PALEO RANGER:
Got a zord?

YELLOW PALEO RANGER:
(activating one of her Paleo Chargers)
Sure do...let’s see if he is here. Bronto, Arise!

[Soon, a teal and yellow Bronotsaurus Paleozord arrives. The zord is massive, and looks similar to Titanus from MMPR. The other rangers summon Tyranno, Para, Velo, Kylo, Cephala, and Ptera in order to form the Paleo Megazord-Hammer Mode, and the Ptera Megazord-Blade Mode. Both robots join Bronto in facing the three Giant MaZoDe. The two megazords use their armaments to assault the Giant MaZoDe, destroying one of the three.]

Guys! Form the DinoMax!

[The two combinations break apart. Kylo and Cephala go back to their hiding spots, with the Blue and Pink Rangers summoning Stego and Tricera. The DinoMax then slays the second Giant MaZoDe.]

Rangers...my zord can combine with the DinoMax to give it a Chariot Mode.

[The back of the Bronto opens up for the DinoMax and the Bronto’s neck detaches to give the combination a weapon. In the cockpit, the Yellow Ranger joins the other six main rangers. The rangers prepare their finisher, and execute the attack.]

ALL RANGERS:
DinoMax Crusher!

[The attack makes the Giant MaZoDe spark severely while cackling in red energy bolts. The giant minion then collapses backward and explodes into a massive fireball. The megazord poses victoriously as the rangers celebrate in the cockpit. The team then reunite on the ground.]

ROBBIE MENDOZA:
You are awesome! It’s too bad we can’t find out who you are.

YELLOW PALEO RANGER:
I was around you guys a lot in this timeline.

[The Yellow Ranger takes out a Spinosaurus Paleo Charger, and activates it to open a time portal.]

This timeline’s version of me will see you soon...Tio.

[The Yellow Ranger steps through the portal, and vanishes, as does the portal. Suddenly, Rina runs up to Robbie, who picks her up to hold her.]

RINO UDO:
Did you take care of the bad guys?

[The team continues their celebration.]

ALL:
Yes!

INT.-PACIFIC OCEAN-UNDERWATER LAB-DAY
[A lone female checks in on some computer data.]

FEMALE VOICE:
(speaking into a Buckle-Com)
All is going according to plan. You can return home.

Based Upon:
Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger,‭ ‬Episode‭ ‬#20:‭ ‬“Brave‭ ‬#20:‭ ‬Unluckyu‭! ‬The Tanabanta Windfall‭!"
‭------------------------------------------------------------------------
‭EXT.-CITY-NIGHT
[At‭ ‬dusk,‭ ‬a DavroMon stands on top of a tall building,‭ ‬and taunts at the city.‭]

DEMON WISHER:
Tomorrow is Wish Day,‭ ‬and I will make all you wishes come true‭!

CANDELIRA:
Let‭’‬s spread some joyful presents‭!

LUKURO:
With some deadly consequences‭!

[The‭ ‬evil trio laugh maniacally at the city as Demon Wisher releases his powers to make slips‭ ‬of paper fly all over the city.‭]

EXT.-CITY-ROBBIE‭’‬S HOUSE-NIGHT
[Rina puts her wish slip onto a tree,‭ ‬and calls to the others,‭ ‬and all‭ (‬except for Daric‭) ‬write down their wishes on the slips.‭]

MIKO INOUE:
James has been onto me about my grades again‭…‬so here‭’‬s to a good grade on my next exam.

TYSON KIRKLAND:
My Kendo stick is getting pretty beat up.

KEN FERRADAY:
I‭’‬ve always wanted to try some Belgian ice cream.

ROBBIE MENDOZA:
‭(wishing to meet some girls)
We‭’‬ll see about this one‭…

CHRIS RUTLEDGE:
I hope to discover a new fossil species.

‭[The team puts their wish slips onto the tree. When the others go inside for dinner, Daric looks to the starry skies.]

DARIC KAYSON:
I want to see my‭ ‬father‭ ‬again.‭ ‬Not just some apparition from my brain‭…‬but for real this time.

INT.-SACRED GROUND-DAY
[Miko arrives in a great mood.‭]

MIKO INOUE:
Guys‭! ‬I got an‭ ‬“A‭”‬ on my German test‭!

DARIC KAYSON:
Good job‭!

[Tyson then teleports in,‭ ‬shows off a new Kendo stick.‭]

TYSON KIRKLAND:
My father gave me a new Kendo stick.

MIKO INOUE:
Our wishes came true‭!

[Suddenly,‭ ‬the two collapse‭…‬like their energy suddenly left them.‭]

CHIKYU:
I can sense something everywhere‭…‬but very faint.

DARIC KAYSON:
We‭’‬ll explore the city,‭ ‬and check it out.

EXT.-CITY-PLAZA DAY
‭[A man is very elated as he has won the lottery, and is a new millionaire.]

MAN:
I won‭!

[The team arrives in the plaza in time to see the man collapse into Chris,‭ ‬who then falls into a landscaping planter.‭ ‬Chris puts his hand into the soil,‭ ‬and onto a fossil of a never-before-seen species.‭]

CHRIS RUTLEDGE:
What the‭!? ‬A fossil‭…‬of a new species‭!

[Soon,‭ ‬Chris feels as weak as Miko and Tyson.‭ ‬The team is now down to three,‭ ‬and they see the wish slip fly away.‭ ‬Daric tries to run after it,‭ ‬but the‭ ‬team sees the‭ ‬slip fly toward the DavroMon,‭ ‬who snatches it,‭ ‬and places the slip into a tube on his body.‭ ‬He is flanked by Candelira and Lukuro.‭]

DARIC KAYSON:
A DavroMon‭!‬ What are you freaks up to this time‭!?

DEMON WISHER:
I am Demon Wisher‭…‬and soon the dreams of this‭ ‬insipid‭ ‬city will come true‭!

ROBBIE MENDOZA:
That doesn‭’‬t sound so bad.

DEMON WISHER:
That is until the sun comes up tomorrow,‭ ‬and those that had their wishes come true will die.

‭[The six team members are in shock, as half of them have already been affected.]

MIKO INOUE:
That must be the reason why we feel so tired‭!

DARIC KAYSON:
Let‭’‬s take out the trash,‭ ‬guys‭!

[The six team members unite,‭ ‬and stand in a row.‭ ‬They take out their Paleo Chargers,‭ ‬activate them,‭ ‬and place them into their morphing devices.‭]

ALL:
Let‭’‬s Rock‭!

[The six press the triggers on their weapons.‭ ‬The Paleo Ranger suits fly around,‭ ‬and form over their bodies,‭ ‬letting them‭ ‬become Paleo Rangers.‭ ‬Suddenly,‭ ‬the Black,‭ ‬Green,‭ ‬and Pink Rangers collapse,‭ ‬and instantly de-morph.‭ ‬The other three quickly check on their colleagues,‭ ‬then get back to the battle.‭ ‬The Red and Blue Rangers fire their Paleo Blasters as the Gold Ranger leaps up to fly around the‭ ‬trio.‭ ‬The DavroMon dodges the attacks to protect the tube on his body.‭]

DEMON WISHER:
Too easy‭!

[As the Red Ranger tries to aim his blaster at the DavroMon,‭ ‬the three vanish.‭]

INT.-SACRED GROUND-DAY
[In the infirmary area,‭ ‬there are‭ ‬five‭ ‬bed-like platforms.‭ ‬Laying on three of them are Chris,‭ ‬Tyson,‭ ‬and Miko.‭ ‬Chikyu examines some spare wish slips.‭]

CHIKYU:
These slips of paper are portions of the DavroMon‭’‬s body infused with his power‭…‬that is the reason why I had trouble detecting him.

DARIC KAYSON:
These things have been spread throughout the entire city.

ROBBIE MENDOZA:
Ken and I wrote on these as well.

CHIKYU:
‭(holding up Robbie’s wish slip)
I don‭’‬t think there will be any problem with yours,‭ ‬Robbie‭…‬you wished to meet some girls.

KEN FERRADAY:
Did you write down a wish,‭ ‬Daric‭?

DARIC KAYSON:
Nah‭…‬I did my wish the old fashioned way.

‭[Suddenly, Rezi teleports in with an ice cooler…full of Belgian ice cream.]

REZI:
Can‭’‬t stay long‭…‬I brought this back for you guys.‭ ‬See‭ ‬‘ya‭!

[Rezi teleports out.‭ ‬Ken sees the ice cream,‭ ‬then falls under the DavroMon‭’‬s spell.‭ ‬Chikyu and Robbie help Ken to one of the infirmary beds as Daric tries to grab the wish slip‭…‬but cannot.‭]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Daric and Robbie split up and scout around.‭ ‬They see various victims of Demon Wisher‭’‬s wishes.‭ ‬Soon,‭ ‬Robbie is met by Rina‭’‬s schoolteacher,‭ ‬who is flanked by two other women.‭ ‬The three women all want‭ ‬Robbie‭ ‬to fix things for them,‭ ‬and he is even given slips of paper with phone numbers on them.‭ ‬Soon,‭ ‬Robbie‭ ‬succumbs‭ ‬to Demon Wisher‭’‬s spell.‭ ‬Daric rushes in to see Robbie collapse.‭]

EXT.-CITY-ROOFTOP-NIGHT
[That night,‭ ‬Demon Wisher stuffs his tube full of wish slips as Candelira and Lukuro watch.‭]

DEMON WISHER:
In one hour,‭ ‬the sun will rise on a new day,‭ ‬and finally,‭ ‬the Davros Legion will rule the Earth‭!

[Daric then bursts through the door,‭ ‬and crashes the evil party.‭ ‬He is still holding onto Robbie‭’‬s wish slip,‭ ‬which begins to be attracted to the DavroMon.‭ ‬Demon Wisher blasts Daric to make him lose his grip on the slip.‭]

Your entire team is out of commission,‭ ‬Red Ranger‭!

DARIC KAYSON:
‭(as he takes out his Paleo Charger, and inserts it into his blaster)
Well I am still here,‭ ‬and I‭ ‬wish to take you down‭!‬ Let‭’‬s Rock‭!

[Daric‭ ‬spins the barrel and‭ ‬presses the trigger on the weapon as he dodges blasts from the DavroMon.‭ ‬The‭ ‬Red Paleo Ranger suit flies around,‭ ‬and forms onto his body.‭ ‬He uses his Dino Blade on the evil trio,‭ ‬and melee-battles them while thinking of the others.‭]

CANDELIRA:
Get a load of my new weapon‭!

[Candelira uses her heart-shaped bladed axe to perform an energy-based attack onto the Red Ranger,‭ ‬which strikes him,‭ ‬and knocks him down‭…‬and is forced out of morph.‭ ‬Daric is about out of time as the sun starts to rise on a new day.‭ ‬The evil trio vanishes as Daric struggles to recover to his feet.‭]

DARIC KAYSON:
‭(tugging on his amulet, which gleans)
I won‭’‬t give up‭!

INT.-SACRED GROUND-DAY
[The five stricken team members seem to be in immense pain,‭ ‬as they roll around on their beds.‭]

EXT.-CITY-PARK-DAY
[Demon Wisher skips in joy‭…‬until he sees a lone human figure coming over a bridge.‭ ‬Daric arrives behind the DavroMon,‭ ‬and sees the human on the bridge as well.‭]

DARIC KAYSON:
‭(in shock)
What‭!? ‬It can‭’‬t be‭!

‭[As Daniel clinches his fist, Demon Wisher tries to taunt.]

‭DEMON WISHER:
‭Who do you think you are!?

‭DANIEL KAYSON:
‭I’m the one who’s gonna wipe that smirk off of your face!

‭[Daniel gives the DavroMon a power-packed punch to knock him out, and is seen holding a brown pouch-like sack.]

‭Now is your chance, son!

‭[Daric punches the tube on Demon Wisher’s body to release the wish energies to their rightful owners.]

‭INT.-SACRED GROUND-DAY
‭[The five team members recover, and sit up on the bed platforms.]

EXT.-CITY-PARK-DAY
[Daric starts to approach his father, but is stopped in his tracks as the others arrive.]

DARIC KAYSON:
Dad!?

DANIEL KAYSON:
(pointing toward the others)
Go join your teammates.

[When Daric turns away, Daniel has already vanished upon turning back to him. Daric is extremely happy as he rejoins the others.]

DARIC KAYSON:
My wishes just came true...I got to see my dad, and you guys are healed.

DEMON WISHER:
(recovering to his feet)
I wish to make you rangers go away!

[Lukuro spritzes water from her watering can over the DavroMon in order to enlarge him.]

ALL:
(activating and inserting their Paleo Chargers)
Let’s Rock!

[The Paleo Ranger suits form over the six.]

RED PALEO RANGER:
Paleozords...arise!

[Tyranno, Kylo, and Cephala Paleozords are summoned, and arrive. The Red Ranger enters the cockpit, and immediately forms a megazord.]

Paleo Megazord...Hammer Mode! Ready to rumble!

[Demon Wisher charges at the megazord, which moves it’s right hand to taunt the DavroMon. The megazord uses it’s armaments to block the DavroMon’s attacks. Soon, two Giant MaZoDe chomp down onto the megazord’s arms to hold it down so Demon Wisher can get in a few strikes.]

GOLD PALEO RANGER:
(in the Pteranodon Paleozord)
Gotcha covered, Daric!

[The Pteranodon fires lightning bolts at the giant-sized minions, then takes them down followed by a powerful kick from the megazord to send the two into Demon Wisher.]

RED PALEO RANGER:
I wish for this to end right now! Pounding Strike!

[The DavroMon and two Giant MaZoDe cackle in red energy bolts, then spark and explode. The megazord and Pteranodon Paleozord pose victoriously. On the ground, Chikyu and Doctor Kayson meet. Daniel hands a sack over to Chikyu.]

INT.-SACRED GROUND-DAY
[The team reflects and rests after the battle. Daric sits on the steps of the teleport pad admiring his amulet. Soon Chikyu teleports in with the sack from his father...which puzzles Daric a bit. He then goes back to admiring his amulet.]
‭------------------------------------------------------------------------
‭NEXT TIME ON POWER RANGERS: PALEO STRIKE...

‭Episode #25: Future Shock
‭A ranger from the future has come to help the rangers...but she seems to know Robbie a little too well.

Ingenuity at work...possible solution to computer probs.

Well, I think my ingenuity was working a bit of overtime last night, and it is proving somewhat successful. I took a piece of copper wire from an old co-axial TV antenna cable, and stuck it into the adapter for my computer, and stuck it into the computer, and searched for what I call the “sweet-spot.” As soon as it connected (and the cord shoved up against something). [see pics below]


I was able to fully charge my computer battery. Although, this set-up is a bit temper-mental, and I do not know how well this will work in the long-run, I am happy that this will give me some more time with this computer, and I can get some things done.

I did call up a trusted local computer repair shop. They told me that the cost of the part, and for them to install it would cost $125...but, due to the size of my tiny netbook, the repair may compromise the motherboard.

I am still in the market for another computer though, and am saving up little by little by recycling.

Thursday, September 19, 2013

Message From The CEO of NightRanger Industries...

Hello, fans. This is just to let you know that there are more computer problems that are occurring. The company laptop is now pretty much down. The pin that I must attach the power cord to broke about a week ago, alas there is no other way to recharge the battery, which is on the verge of being depleted (only 30 min. or less left on it).

I am in the process of saving up funds to purchase a new laptop, but that may take quite some time, as I do not work, and am using money saved from recycling. I am also thinking of doing a Kickstarter campaign to get funds a bit faster.

I do have in place a contingency plan, but the timing of getting episodes up will be sporadic, due to my having to use the library, and the fact that the home desktop uses dial-up...but they will be put up.

Episode #23, "The Cute DavroMon" has just been put up, and expect #24, "The Cursed Wish" between Saturday and Tuesday.

PRPS #23-The Cute DavroMon

Based Upon:
Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, Episode #19: “Brave #19: Kyawaen! Kidnapped Family"
----------------------------------------------------------------
EXT.-CITY-PARK-DAY
[Ken practices his Kendo in the park. A young boy, named MICHAEL walks alone to school, and comes face to face with three bigger boys, who start to bully the youngster. Michael just cowers to the ground as the trio of bullies wale on him. Ken tries to go help Michael, but the boy is able to get up as the bullies run off. Suddenly, two adults come running to the boy's aid, and begin to "smother" him...they're his parents.]

KEN FERRADAY:
Is he okay?

MICHAEL:
Mommy...Daddy! I needed help, and he would not come to help me.

KEN FERRADAY:
I was approaching when the bullies ran off. I thought you were able to handle the situation after they left.

MICHAEL'S MOTHER:
You must come to the aid of a youngster every time!

KEN FERRADAY:
(as Michael and his parents walk away)
But...

INT.-ANTARCTICA-FROZEN PALACE-DAY
[Everyone, except for D'Gol admires a cute, small-stature DavroMon, named CUSHEDEV {pronounced "Q-SHE-DEHV"}. Cushedev tries to work her magic on the War Knight of Anger...but it does not work. She then pulls Lukuro over to an area behind a pillar.]

INT.-SACRED GROUND-DAY
[Miko and Chris try to explain Michael to Ken.]

MIKO INOUE:
He is a classic case of over-protective parenting.

CHRIS RUTLEDGE:
The parents place blame on others for their kids' troubles.

KEN FERRADAY:
Kids these days...

[Ken turns around to depart the base.]

MIKO INOUE:
Looks like Ken's got a case of culture shock.

EXT.-CITY-PARK-DAY
[Later in the afternoon, Ken walks down a pathway, contemplating the situation with Michael...then sees the boy at a table.]

MICHAEL:
Oh...it's you again. Can you throw my popsicle stick away for me?

KEN FERRADAY:
You are old enough to where you can do it yourself...the can is only ten feet away. Look...if you do not learn to do things for yourself, it will lead to problems down the road for you.

MICHAEL:
(totally ignoring what Ken just told him)
My parents are late picking me up. They gave me this map to get to my place...can you take me home?

[Ken takes a look at the map.]

KEN FERRADAY:
This map is very detailed... so detailed that you can even use this to find your own way home.

[Ken looks frustrated again...then gives in.]

Okay...let's go. I should talk to your parents anyway.

EXT.-CITY-MICHAEL'S HOUSE-DAY
[Ken and Michael arrive at a modest white, two story home, and go inside.]

INT.-CITY-MICHAEL'S HOUSE-DAY
[Ken and Michael enter the home, and Michael calls for his parents. The two hear the parents upstairs, talking in a cutesy manner.]

voice of MICHAEL'S PARENTS:
Oh, what a cutie!

[Michael makes his way up to his bedroom, and sees his parents oogling over the DavroMon.]

CUSHEDEV:
Mommy...Daddy!

[Ken arrives at Michael's bedroom door, sees the DavroMan.]

MICHAEL:
What is that on my bed!?

[The parents are not exactly glad to see Michael, and ignore him. Michael tries to get the DavroMon off of his bed, but his parents push him back, and he lands on his rear, up against his desk. Ken tends to Michael.]

MICHAEL'S FATHER:
Oh, it's you!

MICHAEL'S MOTHER:
We have a new child now!

KEN FERRADAY:
Michael...they seem to be under the influence of that monster. Ptera Baton!

[Ken grabs his weapon, and aims it at the DavroMon.]

CUSHEDEV:
That man is scarwy! Let's go!

[Cushedev grabs the parents, and blasts out of the bedroom window. The bluish sadness aura exudes from Michael.]

EXT.-CITY-PARK-DAY
[Cushedev and Michael's unconscious parents land on the grass. Aigar and Lukuro then arrive.]

AIGAR:
(as the sadness from all the parent-less kids is consumed by the War Knight)
You are doing very well, Cushedev.

CUSHEDEV:
Lukuro...take care of them! Hurry, before the rangers arrive!

[Lukuro drags the unconscious parents away with help from a couple MaZoDe. Suddenly, Aigar has to dodge a laser blast from Ken and his morpher.

KEN FERRADAY:
So...this is your game, Aigar!

AIGAR:
And it was going so well too!

KEN FERRADAY:
(grabbing and activating his Paleo Charger)
Let's Rock!

[Ken inserts the battery into his Ptera Morpher, and pulls the plunger. Unbeknownst to him, Michael is watching from a distance. The suit forms over Ken's body. The Gold Ranger then has the DavroMon at "deathblow range."]

CUSHEDEV:
You wouldn't hurt a wittle baby!?

[The Gold Ranger hesitates a bit as Cushedev transforms into her more darker adult form.]

Too slow! Time to whip you into shape!

[Cushedev uses a whip weapon to attack Gold, making the ranger spark and cackle in red energy bolts, and is forced out of morph upon landing on the ground. Ken quickly recovers to his feet, and tries to fire some laser blasts from his morpher, but Cushedev uses her whip to steal Ken's Ptera Morpher.]

I'll be taking this!

[Cushedev tries to blast Ken, but the Blue Ranger rushes in to take the blow. The core rangers rush to Ken's aid as Cushedev reverts to her infantile form.]

Can we all stop the viowence?

[Everyone (except for the Red Ranger) falls under the DavroMon's spell a bit.]

RED PALEO RANGER:
You know...I actually saw you change forms. You're not fooling me!

[The Red Ranger spins the barrel on his Paleo Blaster, and fires it at Cushedev's forehead, and falls backward.

AIGAR:
We need a tactical retreat!

[The enemy vanishes, and the rangers see Michael sink to a sitting position on the ground in sadness. Ken gets a feeling of sadness for Michael. He then remembers his past when his retainer was slain. He then pounds the ground in utter frustration. Kids all over the city cry as they're parents are missing...they all exude auras of sadness.]

INT.-SACRED GROUND-NIGHT
[The team meets. They're upset too.]

CHIKYU:
Until Cushedev transformed into her adult form...I could not sense her.

INT.-CITY-MICHAEL'S HOUSE-DAY
[The next day, Michael fixes his shirt as he enters the kitchen.]

MICHAEL:
(saddened, hungry)
I couldn't eat at all last night. I don't know where anything's at!

[Michael looks through the cabinets, but soon sees a large lollipop tempting him.]

LUKURO:
(grabbing the boy)
Ha, ha! Sucker!

INT.-CITY-WAREHOUSE DISTRICT-ABANDONED WAREHOUSE-DAY
[In an abandoned warehouse, a corner of the building has been made up to look like a extremely large play room complete with lots of toys. In the middle, Cushedev is being smothered by the parents, who exude pink auras of happiness.]

AIGAR:
There's my little gift to Candelira!

[Lukuro then enters with Michael, who has his hands bound.]

LUKURO:
(taunting)
Anybody order the biggest crybaby in town!?

[Michael tries to get through to his parents, but they ignore him.]

MICHAEL:
Momma! Daddy!

[Michael gets closer to them.]

You gotta snap out of it!

MICHAEL'S MOTHER:
(emotionless)
Oh, it's Michael.

MICHAEL'S FATHER:
(emotionless)
Oh, it's Michael.

[Michael bows his head as the enemies taunt him.]

AIGAR:
Yes, little boy...give me more of your sadness!

[Soon, Ken enters the building, and starts assaulting Aigar and Lukuro with his Ptera Baton, then goes to aid the boy.]

KEN FERRADAY:
You must not cry, Michael. Release the parents, Cushedev!

CUSHEDEV:
(blasting at Ken with a laser beam from her rattle)
You can't morph with out your morpher. I'll do as you ask, and release the parents...to attack you!

[The parents capture Ken. Michael tries to grab his parents, but they shove him down.]

MICHAEL:
Mom! Dad! Snap out of it!

KEN FERRADAY:
What did I tell you, Michael? Rise up, and take action! You can do it!

[Michael recovers to his feet, and charges at Cushedev, who drops the Ptera Morpher.]

Get the morpher!

[Michael grabs the morpher, and tosses it to Ken, who then extends his hand to allow the morpher to attach to his wrist.]

I apologize...but this may hurt a little.

[Ken releases a mild electrical shock to incapacitate the parents. He then blasts Aigar, and uses his Ptera Blade on Cushedev. Once in the clear, Ken praises Michael.]

See what you can do all by yourself? Good job!

[Lukuro then grabs a green ball, and throws it to the ground to set off a smokescreen for her and Aigar to vanish. Cushedev, now in her adult form recovers. Ken fires a blast from his weapon to send the DavroMon outside.]

EXT.-CITY-WAREHOUSE DISTRICT-DAY
[The core rangers, already morphed leap in to help. Ken then prepares to morph.]

RED PALEO RANGER:
Go for it!

KEN FERRADAY:
(grabbing and activating his Paleo Charger)
Let's Rock!

[Ken inserts the battery into his Ptera Morpher, and pulls the plunger. The suit forms over Ken's body.]

GOLD PALEO RANGER:
(posing)
The Thunderwing Hero! Gold Paleo Ranger!

ALL RANGERS:
We Are The Bravest Heroes! Power Rangers...Paleo Strike!

CUSHEDEV:
MaZoDe! Arise!

[Several dozen minions appear, and charge at the rangers. A melee battle between the rangers and the minions break out. The Red Ranger uses his Dino Blade to execute a Paleo Slash attack to take out a dozen minions. Cushedev then grabs the Black Ranger, and kisses him to control his mind. The Black Ranger spins the barrel on his Paleo Blaster, and blasts at the others.]

BLUE PALEO RANGER:
(noticing the Black Ranger's actions)
Chris!

[The Blue Ranger tries to stop the Black Ranger. The Pink and Gold Rangers try their own attack, and use the Styraco Paleo Charger, and loads it into the Pink Ranger's Paleo Blaster.]

PINK PALEO RANGER:
Love on this!

[The Pink Ranger aims the blaster at the eight MaZoDe, and fires the weapon to make the minions fall in love with Cushedev, and mob her.]

GOLD PALEO RANGER:
(loading three batteries into his Ptera Baton)
Lightning Crash!

[Cushedev and the eight MaZoDe all explode in a massive fireball, and the DavroMon goes rolling. She soon recovers, and pours the water in Lukuro's watering can over her head, and enlarges. The Black Ranger recovers, and is sat down by the other male core rangers.]

Ptera!

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Cushedev releases energy blasts at the megazord, which uses it's blades against her and her whip. The DavroMon goes down, and hides behind buildings. Reverting to her infantile form, she fires a beam from her rattle at the megazord, rocking the robot.]

RED PALEO RANGER:
I'm coming up to help...Cephala!

[The Cephala Paleozord arrives, and uses it's mace tail to strike Cushedev, and knock her down. She goes back to her adult form. Meanwhile, Cephala connects onto the megazord to form the left arm of the Ptera Megazord-Mace Mode.]

GOLD PALEO RANGER AND RED PALEO RANGER:
Ptera Megazord...Mace Mode! Ready To Rumble!

[Cushedev fires more laser beams from her mouth, which is blocked by the mace, which then knocks her down. The megazord fires an electrical blast from it's chest.]

Ptera Mace!

[Cushedev cackles in red energy bolts and sparks before collapsing and exploding. The two rangers celebrate in the cockpit as the megazord poses victoriously.]

Yeah!

EXT.-CITY-PARK-DAY
[The next morning, Ken is back practicing his Kendo skills. Michael walks by him and trips, falling down. Instead of crying and calling for others, Michael immediately gets up and dusts himself off.]

KEN FERRADAY:
See...you can do it.

[Michael smiles at Ken, then continues onward to school.]

Have a good day at school!

[Ken is happy for Michael.]
