PRSF #30: The Un-Raged Rage

Loosely Based Upon
Shuriken Sentai Ninninger Episode #18: "Shinobi #18: The Yokai That Yakumo Loved"
---------------------------------------------------------------------
INT.-CITY-DOJO-DAY
[Four of the core ninja students are practicing.]

BROOK PADILLA:
So...where's X at?

IZZY FROST:
He's helping his elderly neighbor mow her lawn.

JOSH TURNER:
It's been too quiet around here since Trist is on Catalina seeing family.

ANDREW FROST:
(entering the dojo with the mail)
Speaking of Trist...got a postcard from him!

IZZY FROST:
Family's doing great...missing you guys in Forest Hills. Will return soon with plenty of fish!

[Suddenly the sensor alarms ring. Andrew checks his hand-held tablet-like device.]

ANDREW FROST:
There's a Rage in the neighborhood where Xavier's at!

IAN FROST:
We're outta here!

[The four rush out of the dojo.]

EXT.-CITY-QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD-HOUSE-DAY
[The four rangers, already morphed, and join the Blue Ranger.]

LAWNMOWER RAGE:
I'm Lawnmower Rage...and I'm gonna mow you down!

BLUE SHINOBI RANGER:
One of those corrupted Shurikens got onto my lawnmower!

[Lawnmower Rage fires a beam at the Red and White Rangers, and controls them...but briefly, as it quickly wears off.]

LAWNMOWER RAGE:
Ah! You guys are no fun! I'm just not feeling it today!

[The Rage takes off, leaving the five rangers bewildered.]

INT.-CITY-DOJO-SHINOBI OPS-DAY
[Back at the dojo, the core team members analyze the Rage.]

BROOK PADILLA:
It seems that the Rage can only control one person at a time...and for only a short period of time.

IAN FROST:
I will hold back whoever wants to be the bait while the others destroy the Rage.

X WYATT:
It's my lawnmower...I will be the bait.

IAN FROST:
Okay...it's settled. Let's go get him!

EXT.-CITY-PARK-DAY
[Later, in the park, the rangers are battling Lawnmower Rage and a small platoon of Kageoni. The rangers' plan seems to work initially...but snowballs. Lawnmower Rage releases his control beam, and seems to hit the Blue Ranger...but misses.]

YELLOW SHINOBI RANGER:
(pretending)
It got X!

[The Red Ranger holds the Blue Ranger, but the Blue Ranger breaks free, and starts to attack the others with his katana. Soon, the Blue Ranger and Lawnmower Rage retreat.]

RED SHINOBI RANGER:
Well, that didn't go as expected.

WHITE SHINOBI RANGER:
Did that beam hit him?

PINK SHINOBI RANGER:
No. It missed him by inches.

YELLOW SHINOBI RANGER:
Could X be playing him? That's even more calculating than me!

INT.-CITY-DOJO-SHINOBI OPS-DAY
[The team reviews what happened.]

BROOK PADILLA:
You're right, Josh! X isn't being controlled...but may be acting like he is to prevent the Rage from using that beam!

voice of X WYATT:
Shinobi Ops...come in!

ANDREW FROST:
Go ahead Xavier...are you okay?

voice of X WYATT:
Yeah! Just to let you guys know...we're at the beach. I just had to give the Rage a massage...and I have a plan to separate the Rage's Shuriken from the lawnmower.

IAN FROST:
We're on our way, X!

[The four ninja students leave the base.]

EXT.-BEACH-DAY
[X has had enough of waiting on Lawnmower Rage hand and foot.]

LAWNMOWER RAGE:
What are you doing, Blue Ranger!?

X WYATT:
You are not in control of me!

[X takes out his Morph Shuriken, and attaches it to his Katana Morpher.]

Morph Shuriken, Set!

[X spins his Shuriken on the weapon to morph.]

Shinobi Power!

[The Shinobi Ranger suit forms over X's body.]

BLUE SHINOBI RANGER:
Geo Shuriken, Set! Fire Power!

[The Blue Ranger engulfs the blade of the katana in flames as the White Ranger leaps in with her katana and Geo Shuriken set on the same setting as the Blue Ranger's to execute a double flame attack on the Rage. The two rangers land, and high-five each other.]

LAWNMOWER RAGE:
(angered)
Kageoni, arise!

[The Kageoni appear as the other three rangers "ninja-streak" in.]

PINK SHINOBI RANGER:
We're here, X!

ALL RANGERS:
(posing)
We Are Shinobi...But We Don't Hide! Power Rangers, hya!

[The Rage gets ready to use his control beam again.]

BLUE SHINOBI RANGER:
(spinning the Shuriken on his katana)
Geo Shuriken! Water Power! Reflection!

[The Rage's beam hits the mirror, and reflects back to him. The Rage briefly controls himself, and takes out his minions in confusion.]

LAWNMOWER RAGE:
What!!!??? What did I just do!?

YELLOW SHINOBI RANGER:
(patting the Blue Ranger on the shoulder)
You just got owned, that's what!

[The Yellow Ranger snaps his fingers, and points his index finger at the Rage.]

Checkmate!

[The Blue Ranger installs his Morph Shuriken onto the katana, and presses the blue button. The katana blade powers up.]

BLUE SHINOBI RANGER:
(as he leaps up to slash the Rage)
Dragon Claw!

[The Rage cackles in blue energy bolts, and sparks before collapsing in defeat. Monukye suddenly appears with her mallet and Demon Shuriken.]

MONUKYE:
(sighing as she works to revive and enlarge the Rage)
Geez, rangers! Again?

BLUE SHINOBI RANGER:
You line them up...we knock them down!

MONUKYE:
Lawnmower Rage! Enlarge with darkness and rage on!

[Monukye vanishes as the Rage revives and enlarges.]

ALL RANGERS:
We summon the true Shinobi Power! Shinobizords...rise!

[The five rangers summon their zords, and leap up to board them.]

ALL RANGERS:
Shinobizords...combine!

[The Shinobizords all combine into their megazord forms, and stand ready.]

ALL RANGERS:
Shinobi Megazord...Drago Mode! Ready!

[The megazord tries to attack, but Lawnmower Rage disables it.]

RED SHINOBI RANGER:
(holding up the UFO Shuriken)
Let's try this.

[The Red Ranger places the Shuriken onto his katana, and spins it.]

I summon the power of the UFO!

[The UFO Shinobizord is summoned, and arrives to the scene.]

Auxiliary Combine!

[The UFO Shinobizord leaps up into the control seat, and the Red Ranger takes center control.]

ALL RANGERS:
Shinobi Megazord...Alien Mode! Ready!

[Before the megazord can attack, it too is disabled.]

WHITE SHINOBI RANGER:
(frustrated)
Nothing we try is working!

RED SHINOBI RANGER:
Whoa! Oops! I forgot to give the SeaGlider Shuriken to Trist before he left.

PINK SHINOBI RANGER:
But he drove the zord to Catalina.

RED SHINOBI RANGER:
We need to summon it, regardless.

[The Red Ranger places the Shuriken onto his katana, spins it.]

I Call On The Shinobi SeaGlider!

EXT.-CATALINA ISLAND-AVALON-HARBOR-DAY
[The SeaGlider Shinobizord shakes as it starts to move, jostling Trist, who is in the middle of a meal around a bit.]

TRIST EMERSON:
(regaining his composure)
Guess we're going for a ride!

voice of RED SHINOBI RANGER:
Sorry to disturb your vacay...but we need to use the zord for a few minutes.

TRIST EMERSON:
No worries, bro!

[Trist takes out his Morph Shuriken, and attaches it to his Riff LaserBlade.]

Morph Shuriken, Set!

[Trist spins his Shuriken on the weapon to morph.]

Shinobi Power!

[The Shinobi Ranger suit forms over Trist's body.]

EXT.-BEACH-DAY
[The zord rises from the depths of the very large lake. It soon transforms from submarine form into it's humanoid form, riding a surfboard.]

RED SHINOBI RANGER:
Auxiliary Combine!

[The Warrior Shinobizord "hops out" of the combination as the SeaGlider Shinobizord "hops up," and the surfboard attaches onto the feet of the megazord. The Gold Ranger then joins the others in the cockpit.]

ALL RANGERS:
Shinobi Megazord...SeaGlider Mode! Ready!

[The megazord swiftly surfs toward the Rage.]

GOLD SHINOBI RANGER:
Is there a plan?

BLUE SHINOBI RANGER:
Yeah. Let me take care of business!

[The Blue Ranger takes control of the megazord, and controls the robot to strike the rage with the Shinobi Saber right in the forehead. The lawnmower returns to normal as it has been separated from the Shuriken. Everyone, especially the Blue Ranger celebrates in the cockpit.]

EXT.-CITY-QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD-HOUSE-DAY
[With an hour or so of sunlight left, X finishes the task of mowing his neighbor's yard. The others see the elderly neighbor come outside to thank X for his hard work.]

TRIST EMERSON:
Well, I better get back to Catalina to wrap up my vacation...and get that fish for the fish-fry I'm planning!

IZZY FROST:
(as Trist departs)
Let's go visit Grandpa! There's got to be a way that we can convince him to take Trist on as a student.

[The four leave for the dojo.]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
INT.-CITY-DOJO-NIGHT
[Trist is sparing with Ian and X...but as usual, Trist is not able to defeat them...and leaves the dojo.]

IAN FROST:
Another defeat.

X WYATT:
You're losing your touch, Trist!

TRIST EMERSON:
(sighing)
Maybe I'm not cut out for this, guys.

[Trist hangs his head down in shame, as he gathers his things, and leaves the dojo. Josh sees that Trist left his book, which has a picture of Trist and his family in it like a bookmark.]

JOSH TURNER:
Trist left his book...and it has a family photo of him in it. I'm going to catch up to him and return it!

[Josh leaves the dojo with the book to catch up to Trist.]

EXT.-FOREST-NIGHT
[Trist is in the forest, and is seen talking to Monukye. Josh arrives in the area, and watches from behind a bush.]

MONUKYE:
Tristan Emerson. Have you made you decision?

TRIST EMERSON:
I have, Monukye.

MONUKYE:
I know something else about the End Shuriken...it has the power to destroy the Earth...but it also has the power to recreate it as well. You will never get the Shuriken...only the Red and White Rangers would, as they are descendants of the Frost family tree. So...what is your decision?

TRIST EMERSON:
I have decided to stay with the rangers. It's where I belong!

[Tsumaka arrives in the area, and surprises Trist.]

TSUMAKA:
Hello, Gold Ranger!

TRIST EMERSON:
Tsumaka!

TSUMAKA:
That's a nice pack raft you have here!

TRIST EMERSON:
Leave that alone!

TSUMAKA:
(as he slaps a corrupted Shuriken onto it)
Boat Rage! I, Tsumaka summon you to battle!

[The raft turns into a Rage Monster, armed with a double-bladed staff.]

Boat Rage! Activate your special barrier!

TRIST EMERSON:
Barrier!?

TSUMAKA:
That's right! Even with the birth of this Rage, the sensors at your base won't be able to detect him!

TRIST EMERSON:
Well, I can detect him! Riff LaserBlade!

[Trist removes his Morph Shuriken from a pants pocket as the Riff LaserBlade appears in his hands. He then places the Shuriken onto the special slot on the guitar.]

Morph Shuriken, Set! Shinobi Power!

BOAT RAGE:
See Sway!

[As Boat Rage uses his deceptive abilities, The Gold Ranger suit starts to form over Trist's body...but the transformation is stopped before the helmet is formed.]

TRIST EMERSON:
What!?

[The deceptive abilities of Boat Rage make Trist see his deceased father and older brother in illusions. Trist sinks further into the deceptive illusion.]

Father!? Cage!? What...!

BOAT RAGE:
(as Trist is baited further into the lake)
He's gonna wander around until his soul has run dry...while getting all wet!

INT.-CITY-DOJO-NIGHT
[The team wonders where Trist is, when they get the call.]

ANDREW FROST:
Guys...I just got a call from Josh! Trist is in trouble!

IAN FROST:
Where?

ANDREW FROST:
Forest. Go!

[The four remaining team members rush out of the dojo.]

EXT.-FOREST-NIGHT
[The four students arrive, see the Yellow Ranger on the ground, and some powerful Kageoni stalking him.]

IAN FROST:
Josh!

YELLOW SHINOBI RANGER:
Trist is in the water in that foggy haze! They have him in some sort of illusion!

IAN FROST:
Then we have to go in there too.

YELLOW SHINOBI RANGER:
Trist wasn't morphed when the Rage used his Ninjutsu on him. Maybe you guys should morph before going in.

BROOK PADILLA:
Right! Our powers protect us while we're morphed!

IZZY FROST:
(as a platoon of Kageoni appear)
Guys! We got company!

[Ninjakon "ninja-streaks" into the area.]

NINJAKON:
I got this, rangers. Go save Trist!

[The core five rangers enter the rift, and see Trist on his knees as a werewolf-like Rage Monster is destroying his father and brother before his eyes. Trist begins to lose hope.]

TRIST EMERSON:
How can I save the world...when I can't save my own family!? I am not worthy of being a Power Ranger!

RED SHINOBI RANGER:
Trist! As field leader of the Shinobi Rangers...you are worthy of being one of us!

[Once Trist sees the light, the helmet forms over his body.]

ALL CORE RANGERS:
(as the five set their Shurikens onto the Katana Morpher...all set to Fire)
Geo Shuriken, Set!

GOLD SHINOBI RANGER:
Storm Shuriken, Set! Wind Power!

ALL RANGERS:
Firenado!

[With a fiery tornado, the werewolf-like Rage is destroyed...and so is Boat Rage's illusion. The rangers land back on shore with the Rage still in the water.]

No! My beautiful illusion! Kageoni...attack!

[The core five rangers, with their Geo Shurikens-Fire Setting still on their katanas strike again.]

ALL CORE RANGERS:
Quintuple Fire Slash!

[The attack obliterates the minions. The Red Ranger then installs his Morph Shuriken back onto his katana as the Blue and Pink Rangers set their Geo Shurikens to their Earth Settings.]

RED SHINOBI RANGER:
Fire Flash!

BLUE SHINOBI RANGER and PINK SHINOBI RANGER:
Geo Shuriken! Ultra Earth Power!

[The three way attack hits Boat Rage to defeat him. Suddenly, a purple Shuriken reacts.]

GOLD SHINOBI RANGER:
The SeaGlider Shuriken!?

BLUE SHINOBI RANGER:
Monukye!

[All the rangers turn to see Monukye near Boat Rage's remains.]

MONUKYE:
(with the Demon Growth Shuriken and mallet)
Boat Rage! Enlarge with darkness and rage on!

[Boat Rage, on an island in the middle of the lake revives and enlarges.]

ALL RANGERS:
We summon the true Shinobi Power! Shinobizords...rise!

[The six rangers summon their zords, and leap up to board them.]

Shinobizords...combine!

[The Shinobizords all combine into their megazord forms, and stand ready.]

ALL CORE RANGERS:
Shinobi Megazord, Ready!

PINK SHINOBI RANGER:
Guys...we have a slight problem.

WHITE SHINOBI RANGER:
What's that, Brook?

PINK SHINOBI RANGER:
The megazord can't swim.

RED SHINOBI RANGER:
(holding up the SeaGlider Shuriken)
This may be able to help! I Call On The Shinobi SeaGlider!

[The SeaGlider Shinobizord rises from the depths of the very large lake. It soon transforms from a submarine form into a 70ft. tall humanoid-zord riding a surfboard. The SeaGlider Shinobizord "hangs ten" by surfing circles around the Rage then overpower him with it's Depth-Charge Missiles.]

Auxiliary Combine!

[The Warrior Shinobizord "hops out" of the combination as the SeaGlider Shinobizord "hops up," and the surfboard attaches onto ]

ALL CORE RANGERS:
Shinobi Megazord...SeaGlider Mode! Ready!

[The megazord surfs toward the Rage, and strikes it with the Shinobi Saber.]

Surf's Up!

[The megazord speeds up, and slashes the Shinobi Saber with more power to make the Rage cackle in purple energy bolts, and explodes in total destruction. The megazord poses victoriously.]

MONUKYE:
(with Tsumaka)
Aarrgh! Those rangers did it again!

[Monukye stomps off.]

There has to be a way to defeat them!

INT.-CITY-DOJO-SHINOBI OPS-DAY
[That day, as the sun rises, the team meets in the base.]

TRIST EMERSON:
That new Shinobizord is awesome!

ANDREW FROST:
Good. Because you will be the one to summon it if needed. Also...I was able to find and contact your mother...on Catalina Island. I'm sending you there in the SeaGlider Shinobizord to go visit. But be prepared to come back at a moment's notice if the demons attack.

[An excited Trist runs out of the base and into the underground hiding spot of the new zord...but he forgot something.]

IAN FROST:
Trist! You forgot the...SeaGlider Shuriken.

ANDREW FROST:
He's already gone, son.

[The team looks on in some confusion.]

I'll have some more fun for you pesky rangers later!

[Zodaxiz vanishes.]

INT.-CITY-DOJO-SHINOBI OPS-DAY

Yes...half-way to go, children.

NINJAKON:
There is now a way to strengthen your current powers.

[Ninjakon holds out a crimson red coin.]

My brother, Ninjor had created special coins long ago, and gave a special crimson one to me to keep as a token. I finally found it, and applied energy to it. Now, rangers...hold out your Morph Shurikens, and make them touch the coin.

[The six students do as Ninjakon says. The Crimson Coin glows, and sends energy to the six Morph Shurikens, which then glow in the rangers' respective color for several seconds.]

EXT.-CITY-DOWNTOWN-DAY
[Zodaxiz, flanked by Tsumaka and Monukye, is with Gemini Rage, Libra Rage, and Scorpio Rage as they lead a vast army of Oni, Kageoni, and Zo-oni. The minions all use their weapons to cause mass destruction, and force citizens to flee in fear...and Monukye holds up the gourd to collect the fear being exuded by the citizens. The three generals and three Rage all laugh maniacally.]

INT.-CITY-DOJO-SHINOBI OPS-DAY
[The Crimson Coin glows, and sends energy to the six Morph Shurikens, which then glow in the rangers' respective color for several seconds.]

NINJAKON:
There. You have a little more extra power to take care of the six final Zodiac Rage...and maybe Zodaxiz.

IAN FROST:
Thank you, Ninjakon! I can feel the power surging through my Shuriken already!

[The sensor alarms ring out.]

Come on guys! Let's go and take care of business!

[The six rangers set their Morph Shurikens onto their blades, with the core five pressing the red Morph Button on their Katana Morphers and Gold pressing a button on his Riff LaserBlade.]

INT.-DEMON CORE-DAY
[At sunrise, Monukye and Tsumaka return to the base with Zodaxiz and the nine remaining Zodiac Rage in tow.]

GENGHIS:
Monukye! You awakened her!?

ZODAXIZ:
Nice to see you again too, my love! Nice digs you guys got here!

GENGHIS:
It's a bit too modest...but it'll do for now.

ZODAXIZ:
So...you decided to attack the humans again, and you didn't invite me to the party!?

MONUKYE:
My lord...I awakened her so she can help us gather for fear so you can fully revive.

GENGHIS:
Excellent!

TSUMAKA:
Just how many Demon Core generals are there, Lord Genghis?

GENGHIS:
I had many generals at my side during that last battle with Ninjakon and his human friend, Raymond Frost. All of us were sealed away. I gave their masks to Monukye to hold onto until they could be revived to service me.

ZODAXIZ:
Your chief battle general...

MONUKYE:
Ma'am...I am afraid that Kuraizo fell in battle to the rangers. I revived Tsumaka, then you. The others will be revived as needed.

GENGHIS:
Ah, but there was one missing. I remember sending Yujazu to Japan before the last battle. I hope he wasn't sealed by that village idiot! So, my love...what do you have in store for those rangers next?

ZODAXIZ:
I have nine Zodiac Rage left at my disposal. I will choose three teams of three, and send one out at a time.

GENGHIS:
That sounds like a good plan. I just wish I could battle the rangers myself.

ZODAXIZ:
And you will be able to soon. I saw a lot of fear in that zoo when the Zodiac Rages were created. Those rangers will get a charge out of this! Taurus! Aries! Leo! Step forward! I want you three to charge into battle!

ALL THREE RAGES:
Yes, my lady!

[Taurus Rage, Aries Rage, and Leo Rage depart the base, and head for the city.]

INT.-CITY-DOJO-SHINOBI OPS-DAY
[The six ranger students have awakened, and make their way downstairs. On a wall, is a poster of the twelve Zodiac Rages...with large red "X's" over the pictures of Capricorn, Virgo, and Cancer Rages.]

ANDREW FROST:
Morning, team. We still have a lot of work ahead of us. As you can see, you took out three of the twelve...meaning that there is nine left.

NINJAKON:
I believe that Zodaxiz will change up her tactics a bit, and will now only send a few at a time. Whichever ones those are, I do not know.

ANDREW FROST:
Ninjakon, Ray, and I have been working on ways to boost your powers...and working on a new zord for you guys to use.

RAY FROST:
Unfortunately, these new toys are not ready yet.

NINJAKON:
All I can suggest is to keep up your guard on these Rage.

[Suddenly, the sensor alarms ring out. There are three Rage and several dozen Kageoni and Zo-oni minions with them.]

Trouble in the park! Let's go!

------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXT.-FOREST-NIGHT
[Monukye has managed to slip out of the Demon Core base with a third "fallen general mask." Soon, Tsumaka catches up with, and surprises her.]

MONUKYE:
(quietly)
Yes! I don't have him following me around! There will be another female general to help me!

TSUMAKA:
What are you up to, Monukye!?

MONUKYE:
We need help in collecting fear to fully resurrect our master...and I have the means to do so!

TSUMAKA:
How many of those masks just do you have?

MONUKYE:
In order to help Lord Genghis...many!

[Monukye gently places the mask on the ground, and starts to pour "fear juice" into it. Soon, a female general forms holding a staff. The general is ZODAXIZ.]

Welcome to the world of the living, Zodaxiz

ZODAXIZ:
I heard the word..."Rangers." Where are they?

TSUMAKA:
They are down there in that city.

ZODAXIZ:
Excellent!

[Tsumaka and Monukye let her go.]

[Andrew is down below in Shinobi Ops with Ninjakon working on things.]

ANDREW FROST:
Wow! That will be a great new Auxiliary Shinobizord for the team to use!

[Suddenly, Ninjakon senses something.]

What is it?

NINJAKON:
Another general has been revived. Look up...Zodaxiz in the databanks.

[Andrew punches her up.]

ANDREW FROST:
Got it. She looks pretty powerful.

NINJAKON:
The rangers will be in for a tough fight. Read up on her bio.

ANDREW FROST:
(reading the bio on Zodaxiz)
Based on the Zodiac, she can use various space-based attacks. Wait! She has her own corrupted Shuriken!?

NINJAKON:
Yes...the Space Shuriken. I remember battling her a thousand years ago. Her Oni are the Zo-oni, which are armed with sling-shots, the Zo-Shots. Better summon the team down here.

ANDREW FROST:
I'll go upstairs and tell my dad. Class has been going on for a couple hours now.

INT.-CITY-DOJO-DAY
[Andrew enters the main dojo room, tells Ray what is going on.]

RAY FROST:
Well, class. That will do it for today. See you next week! Dismissed!

Ian! Gather the other rangers. We got a problem downstairs.

IAN FROST:
Got it, dad!

[Ace and Sabrina acknowledge Andrew, follows the team downstairs.]

INT.-CITY-DOJO-SHINOBI OPS-DAY
[Everyone arrives in the base, followed by Ray and Andrew.]

IAN FROST:
We're all here, dad. What's up!?

ANDREW FROST:
Monukye has awakened another Demon Core general.

IAN FROST:
So...we'll take care of her like her we took care of Kuraizo.

NINJAKON:
(with Andrew displaying her bio on the viewscreen)
This is Zodaxiz. She is more powerful than the other generals...combined. In fact...she is Genghis' wife. Just be aware...she has her own Space Shuriken, and her own type of Oni minions, called Zo-oni.

IAN FROST:
We'll be on alert.

[The alarms ring out. Zodaxiz is in the zoo.]

Time to get to work, rangers! Let's go!

[The six ranger team members rush out of the dojo. Andrew has Ace and Sabrina go as well to help evacuate the area.]

[The eight dojo students arrive, and see the general and her Zo-oni minions...as well as several dozen citizens fleeing in fear.]

ZODAXIZ:
(while shuffling the twelve Space Shuriken like poker chips in her hands)
So! You must be the Shinobi Rangers!

[The Zo-oni charge in toward the dojo students.]

IAN FROST:
Ace! Sabrina! Go help the civilians get to safety!

ACE BREWER:
Right! Come on, sis!

ZODAXIZ:
Nice trick! How about this...Zo-oni...attack!

[The rangers use their Katana Morphers and Riff LaserBlade on the Zo-oni, who utilize their Zo-Shot sling-shots to fire energy blasts. The rangers then use various attacks and techniques on the minions.]

BLUE SHINOBI RANGER:
Water Power!

[The Blue Ranger releases streams of water to drown some minions.]

ZODAXIZ:
(with the Space Shuriken)
Okay, rangers! Now you've had it!

[Zodaxiz puts six Space Shuriken in each hand, and then tosses them into the air. The twelve Space Shuriken fly around above the battlefield, and then scatter various directions in the zoo. The Shurikens attach onto various zoo animals (a bull, ram, lion, goat, a pair of mating hyena, cheetah, scorpion, mole, alligator, crab, piranha, and a vulture), and start glowing in various colors.]

Twelve Zodiac Rages! I, Zodaxiz summon you to battle!

[Simultaneously, the animals start transforming into humanoid-sized monsters, who "escape their enclosures," and walk through the zoo. Citizens flee in fear from their hiding spot as Ace and Sabrina watch.]

SABRINA BREWER:
Wait! It's too dangerous!

[The twelve Zodiac Rage all arrive at the battle site, and flank Zodaxiz.]

ZODAXIZ:
These are the twelve Zodiac Rage! Animals chosen to represent the astrological Zodiac! I am going to do something that my fellow Demon Core generals could not do...destroy you pesky rangers!

[The six rangers, with Ace and Sabrina catching up to them size up the twelve Zodiac Rage and Zodaxiz.]

RED SHINOBI RANGER:
Ninjakon was right! She's way too powerful!

[The rangers continue to size up the Rage. TO BE CONTINUED...]

EXT.-CITY-PLAZA-DAY
[At dawn, the rangers are fighting a couple platoons of Kageoni, and defeat them after a few minutes.]

YELLOW SHINOBI RANGER:
Now, that's what I call a morning workout!

BLUE SHINOBI RANGER:
Yeah! Ian...Izzy! Do you have your Father's Day gift yet?

WHITE SHINOBI RANGER:
With all the demon attacks lately...we haven't had a chance to go shopping!

PINK SHINOBI RANGER:
Well, Father's Day is in a couple days...here's your chance! Go!

GOLD SHINOBI RANGER:
Yeah! We'll wrap things up here.

RED SHINOBI RANGER:
You sure? Okay...thanks, guys! Come on, sis! Let's go!

[The Red and White Rangers power down, and depart for the plaza shops to find Andrew, their father a Father's Day gift. Unbeknownst to the siblings, they are being tailed by a half-dozen Kageoni.]

IZZY FROST:
Ian...I think we're being followed.

IAN FROST:
Followed?

[Ian quickly turns around to see a Kageoni.]

Yeah...I'd say so!

[The duo swiftly defeats the six Kageoni.]

EXT.-FOREST-DAY
[Tsumaka and Monukye watch the rangers battle through a viewing portal conjured up by the two.]

TSUMAKA:
Everything is going according to plan!

MONUKYE:
And what plan is that?

TSUMAKA:
To have the rangers let down their guard so I can have a clear path to their destruction. And...the father of the Red and White Ranger will figure into this ploy perfectly!

MONUKYE:
I like!

INT.-CITY-DOJO-DAY
[Andrew is in the process of getting ready to leave the business.]

ANDREW FROST:
Dad! I'm going out to do some shopping at the market. According to this ad, they have several items half off!

[Andrew leaves the dojo.]

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[Andrew is walking toward the supermarket, when his favorite writing pen falls from a pocket. Not knowing that it dropped, he continues on. A Kageoni steps out of the shadows to retrieve the pen, and hands it to Tsumaka behind him. Tsumaka then reveals a corrupted Sealing Shuriken, and puts it onto the pen to create a Rage Monster...UMBRELLA RAGE.]

TSUMAKA:
i want you to make it rain!

UMBRELLA RAGE:
Got you covered, boss!

[When Andrew returns to the dojo with a bag of groceries, it starts to rain. Andrew gets caught in the sudden storm, but is lucky to see a abandoned umbrella...and borrows it. Soon, the team catches up to Andrew.]

IZZY FROST:
Come on, dad! Let's get home!

X WYATT:
Nice umbrella!

ANDREW FROST:
Yeah. Lucky me! Someone left it. I'm just gonna borrow it for now...until it stops raining.

[Josh figures out the Rage's presence.]

JOSH TURNER:
I sense a Rage nearby!

[Andrew goes to feel his pocket for his pen, realizes that it's missing.]

ANDREW FROST:
My favorite pen!

[Andrew starts to re-trace his steps when Ian notices something strange about the umbrella.]

IAN FROST:
That umbrella! It's the Rage!

[The umbrella transforms into Umbrella Rage, and flees as it stops raining.]

EXT.-CITY-PARK-DAY
[Andrew talks to the team under a shade tree.]

ANDREW FORST:
That pen with the grand prize in a Invention Masters contest that I won as a kid. When I was little, I trained hard to succeed my father, and was good at mastering various Ninjutsu. But, in my teenage years, it seemed that whatever Ninjutsu I mastered, suddenly vanished...and was only able to conjure up a weak breeze.

IAN FROST:
We'll help you train, and get your Ninjutsu back to full power!

ALL STUDENTS:
Yeah!

[Suddenly, Umbrella Rage and a platoon of Kageoni appear. The team members (except for Ian) utilize their Geo Shurikens (with Trist using his Storm Shuriken's Wind Setting) to help amplify Andrew's Ninjutsu, and fend off the enemy. The six rangers set their Morph Shurikens onto their blades, with the core five pressing the red Morph Button on their Katana Morphers and Gold pressing a button on his Riff LaserBlade.]

ALL RANGERS:
Shinobi Elemental Strike!

[The Six Rangers all charge up their blades, and perform a simultaneous slash at the Rage to weaken him. the alternate dimension vanishes, and all are back in "reality," but the Rage is able to overpower the six as Andrew watches helplessly.]

ANDREW FROST:
I've got to help them!

[Andrew gathers all of his Ninjutsu energy, and his aura glows in a purple hue. He then screams in a brave rage.]

Tornado Technique!

[Andrew's technique blocks the Rage's onslaught. He then lifts his son up so he can strike the Rage with his katana.]

RED SHINOBI RANGER:
Ninja Flash!

[The attack makes Umbrella Rage spark and cackle in red energy bolts, and is defeated.]

MONUKYE:
(reveals the mallet and the Demon Growth Shuriken.)

Umbrella Rage! Power up and enlarge with darkness and rage on!

[The Rage revives and enlarges, forcing the rangers to call on their zords.]

ALL RANGERS:
We summon the true Shinobi Power! Shinobizords...rise!

[The six rangers summon their zords, and leap up to board them.]

Shinobizords...combine!

[The Shinobizords all combine into their megazord forms, and stand ready.]

ALL CORE RANGERS:
Shinobi Megazord, Ready!

GOLD SHINOBI RANGER:
Rodeo Megazord! Let's Ride!

[Umbrella Rage rapidly strikes the megazords enough to where the core rangers can't "form change" into Drago Mode.]

RED SHINOBI RANGER:
I summon the power of the UFO!

[The UFO Shinobizord is summoned, and strikes the Rage from the sky as it flies into the battle, and allows the opportunity for a "form change."]

Shuriken Combine!

[The Shinobi Megazord and Rodeo Megazord break apart into their components, and combine into the...]

ALL RANGERS:
Shuriken Megazord, Ready To Ride!

[The new combination stands ready with a weapon that is the Rodeo Six-Shooter, Shinobi Saber, and Shinobi Shield combined.]

RED SHINOBI RANGER:
Tri-Shuriken Saber!

[The combined megazord goes to work, and easily overpowers Umbrella Rage.]

Let's do it, guys!

ALL RANGERS:
Shuriken Cross Slash!

[The megazord swings the sword three directions to make Umbrella Rage cackle in red energy bolts, and explodes in total destruction.]

EXT.-FOREST-DAY
[Tsumaka's plan failed...and he isn't happy. He kicks a log from one tree to another in frustration. Watching from a bit of a distance is Monukye, who places the fallen general mask onto the ground, and presents her gourd, and starts dripping the "fear juice" into it.

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[As the team approaches the dojo, Andrew notices that his brief taste of total Ninjutsu power is lost...and is back to only his weaker powers.]

ANDREW FROST:
Aw! Well...that was fun while it lasted.

TRIST EMERSON:
Maybe it was due to your concern for the team, and that gave you some sort of miracle.

ANDREW FROST:
(a bit saddened)
Yeah.

IZZY FROST:
Just train with us. Maybe it'll come back.

INT.-CITY-DOJO-DAY
[It is now Sunday morning...Father's Day. The team gathers in the main dojo room.]

IAN FROST and IZZY FROST:
(presenting their wrapped presents to Andrew)
Happy Father's Day, Dad!

[Andrew accepts the presents from his children, and unwraps them. Coincidentally, they are both the same...a new pen that Andrew can cherish.]

ANDREW FROST:
(surprised)
Whoa! They're the same!

[Ian and Izzy look on in puzzlement.]

It's okay...thanks, guys! Do you mind if I give one of them to your Grandfather?

[Both Frost siblings nod their head in acceptance, and Andrew gives one of the pens to Ray.]

Happy Father's Day, Dad!

Original Episode
----------------------------------------------------------------------
INT.-CITY-DOJO-SHINOBI OPS-DAY
[Both Ray and Ninjakon have been recovering from their separation...but both are ready to resume their normal lives.]

ANDREW FROST:
Well, guys. It's been a few weeks since you were separated. How do your feel?

RAY FROST:
I am ready to get up and out of this bed...go upstairs, and run that dojo!

NINJAKON:
I am ready to help the rangers like a proper ally should!

INT.-DEMON CORE-DAY
[Genghis continues to grow impatient at his two subordinates, and their failures the past few months.]

MONUKYE:
Maybe it is because Tsumaka likes to play with his prey, rather than destroy them on sight...much like Kuraizo did.

TSUMAKA:
Yes...but he focused way too much on just one ranger, when there were six to battle. I will continue to do what I have been doing, thank you!

GENGHIS:
Yes. Your technique is pretty effective. What do you have in mind for the next battle, Tsumaka?

TSUMAKA:
Brute force. I will have them face an onslaught of Oni and Kageoni to tire them out easily and fast!

MONUKYE:
Brute force, huh? How about I summon a few Skull Rages to help your cause?

GENGHIS:
Sounds like a plan. Collect more fear from those humans. I tire of being stuck in limbo. I want my body back!

INT.-CITY-DOJO-SHINOBI OPS-DAY
[The team gets ready to head upstairs when the sensor alarms ring out.]

IAN FROST:
Trouble, guys!

[On the viewscreen, everyone sees the streets of Downtown Forest Hills, flooded with minions.]

Look at all of them!

[The six students prepare to head out.]

NINJAKON:
You guys can use some help out there. Want me to come?

BROOK PADILLA:
You're more than welcome, Ninjakon!

[All seven head out, and depart the dojo.]

EXT.-CITY-DOWNTOWN-DAY
[Ninjakon and the six students arrive at the intersection of First Avenue & Main Street in the heart of Downtown, and see the hordes of minions.]

[Ninjakon, in his default "Warrior Form" powers up his katana, and performs a cross slash to destroy several minions. The only demons left are Monukye and Tsumaka.]

You might as well retreat, demons!

TSUMAKA:
I don't think so! Monukye here is ready with the second part of my plan!

MONUKYE:
Are you rangers tired yet?

NINJAKON:
We're just getting started, Monukye!

RED SHINOBI RANGER:
Not even breaking a sweat!

MONUKYE:
(reveals the mallet and a Skull Rage Shuriken)
We'll see about that! Skull Rages! I, Monukye summon you to battle!

GOLD SHINOBI RANGER:
Wait! Did she just say "Rages," as in plural?

MONUKYE:
I did. In fact...I just summoned five Skull Rages!

[The five Skull Rages take their forms, and the rangers (with Ninjakon) just look up at them.]

ALL RANGERS:
We summon the true Shinobi Power! Shinobizords...rise!

[The six rangers summon their zords, and leap up to board them.]

NINJAKON:
Ninjakon! Battle Mode, Ready!

[Like Ninjor in MMPR-Season 3, Ninjakon also has a secondary form, and can grow to megazord-size. Meanwhile, the rangers blast the Skull Rages with their individual Shinobizords' lasers.]

ALL RANGERS:
Shinobizords...combine!

[The Shinobizords all combine into their megazord forms, and stand ready.]

ALL CORE RANGERS:
Shinobi Megazord, Ready!

GOLD SHINOBI RANGER:
Rodeo Megazord! Let's Ride!

[The two megazords and Ninjakon stand side-by-side-by-side, ready to battle the five Skull Rages.]

NINJAKON:
I like these odds a lot better!

[The two sides trade punches, kicks, and sparks.]

ALL CORE RANGERS:

GOLD SHINOBI RANGER:
Rodeo Six-Shooter! Bronco Buster!

[The megazord executes it's finisher, in which Ninjakon then swings his NinJavelin to send the attack to the remaining Skull Rage. The two Skull Swords revert to their Rage forms. The five spark and cackle in crimson energy bolts before shattering into a zillion pieces with a fiery explosion. The rangers celebrate in the cockpit as Ninjakon celebrates beside the megazord as it poses victoriously.]

NINJAKON:
A job well done, rangers!

INT.-DEMON CORE-DAY
[Genghis is now even more angrier than before.]

TSUMAKA:
The rangers may not be the problem...but whoever is teaching them the Ninjutsu skills.

MONUKYE:
That person is the father of the Red and White Ranger...and he is Ray Frost's son, Andrew!

TSUMAKA:
(plotting)
Really.

[Monukye is doing some plotting of her own...and is holding another fallen general mask.]

EXT.-FOREST-DAY
[Ian and X are trying to find the "Sky Shinobi" in hopes of taming it.]

X WYATT:
So, Ian...where do we look for this Sky Shinobi?

IAN FROST:
No clue.

X WYATT:
So, we're walking around this forest aimlessly.

IAN FROST:
Guess so.

X WYATT:
Sounds like a plan to me...I guess.

[Tsumaka and Monukye spot the duo, and spy on them.]

TSUMAKA:
Ah, there's the Red and Blue Rangers. Wonder if they're following some sort of drivel that geezer Ray told them.

MONUKYE:
(sarcastically)
So, what's the plan this time, fearless leader?

TSUMAKA:
I want to gain control of one of the rangers...and\or one of their zords.

MONUKYE:
(intrigued)
Hmm. That does sound like a good plan!

[Trist decides to catch up to Ian and X.]

Ah, the Gold Ranger has joined them! Tsumaka...he would be a good one to get control of.

TSUMAKA:
(while holding up a pair of eyeglasses)
Good idea!

[Tsumaka slaps a corrupted Sealing Shuriken onto the eyeglasses to create SPEC RAGE.]

Spec Rage! I want you to gain control of the Gold Ranger and\or the Matador Shinobizord.

SPEC RAGE:
No problem, boss! I have my eyes on the prize!

[With the new Rage Monster on the loose, Trist's Morph Shuriken can detect the Rage's presence.]

TRIST EMERSON:
Guys! My Shuriken just detected a Rage nearby. Matador...return to your hiding spot. I'll call you if I need you.

[The Matador Shinobizord heads back as Trist rushes to the scene himself. Meanwhile, the Rage approaches Matador.]

SPEC RAGE:
(scheming)
Matador Shinobizord...have I got a proposition for you!

EXT.-CITY-DAY
[As the team arrives at where the Rage first appeared, they see Monukye summoning a Skull Rage.]

MONUKYE:
Skull Rage! I, Monukye summon you to battle!

IAN FROST:
Monukye! Stop!

MONUKYE:
I don't think so, Red Ranger! I'm just getting warmed up.

IAN FROST:
So are we!

[The six rangers set their Morph Shurikens onto their blades, with the core five pressing the red Morph Button on their Katana Morphers and Gold pressing a button on his Riff LaserBlade.]

I Call On The Shinobi Matador!

[The Gold Ranger tries to summon his zord...but it does not come.]

RED SHINOBI RANGER:
Huh? That's odd! Let's try to call ours.

ALL CORE RANGERS:
We summon the true Shinobi Power! Shinobizords...rise!

[The Shinobizords of the core five rangers arrive promptly, as does Matador...who has the Rage next to him.]

SPEC RAGE:
Attention Gold Ranger! I am now the agent for this poor, mistreated Shinobizord! In the recent past, you have abused this zord, using it to battle Rage Monsters, and forced it to perform hard labor tasks! Now, it is now under my control!

GOLD SHINOBI RANGER:
Oh, no!

RED SHINOBI RANGER:
(seeing more trouble arising)
Guys...we need to split up! I will take on the Matador. X and Brook will deal with four-eyes over there. Josh and Izzy will take on the Skull Rage in the Shinobi Megazord.

[The Pink Ranger installs her Geo Shuriken onto her katana in it's Fire Setting as Red Ranger gives some of his Shurikens to Yellow and White.]

Keep your wits about you, and stay alert!

WHITE SHINOBI RANGER:
Just us two in here? Legend Shuriken, Clone!

YELLOW SHINOBI RANGER:
I Call On The Shinobi Elephant And UFO!

WHITE SHINOBI RANGER and YELLOW SHINOBI RANGER:
Auxiliary Combine! Shinobi Megazord...Armor Mode! Ready!

[The Legend Shuriken starts to affect the duo by greatly exhausting them.]

SPEC RAGE:
You can regain control of your zord...just sign this contract!

BLUE SHINOBI RANGER:
Hold it right there! We are the Gold Ranger's attorneys. He will not sign anything!

GOLD SHINOBI RANGER:
Guys...I can't stand to see this anymore. I am the one who created him...and I will get him out of this mess! I will sign the contract, Spec Rage.

SPEC RAGE:
Thought you would!

[The Gold Ranger reluctantly signs the contract, and starts to fall under the same spell as the Matador Shinobizord...and turns evil as well.]

PINK SHINOBI RANGER:
Trist! Oh, no!

SPEC RAGE:
Your turn. I have contracts for your two to sign as well for your comrades to return to normal! You have a choice. Surrender to the Demon Core, or keep fighting, and the Gold Ranger will remain a part of us!

[The Matador Shinobizord summons the Rodeo Six-Shooter, and blasts the Shinobi Megazord-Armor Mode to break up the combination. It then targets the Warrior Shinobizord. Meanwhile, Monukye is collecting up more human fears.]

TSUMAKA:
Monukye! I want you to create another Skull Rage!

MONUKYE:
Another one? The current one is doing a good job already!

[Monukye sees the Matador Shinobizord and the Skull Rage trashing the separated Shinobizords.]

PINK SHINOBI RANGER:
The zords can't take much more of this! Wait! I got an idea! Spec Rage! You're right. We don't have a choice. I give up...and surrender.

SPEC RAGE:
I am amazed by your words, Pink Ranger. I am removing the spells.

[By the time the Rage realizes that she's been had, it is too late.]

What!?

PINK SHINOBI RANGER:
It is I who tricked you, Spec Rage!

[The Gold Ranger and Matador Shinobizord regain their senses.]

GOLD SHINOBI RANGER:
Wha? Where am I?

PINK SHINOBI RANGER:
About to destroy a Skull Rage!

[The Gold Ranger immediately forms the Rodeo Megazord.]

GOLD SHINOBI RANGER:
Shinobizords...combine! Rodeo Megazord! Let's Ride! You're going down, skeletal clown! Rodeo Six-Shooter! Bronco Buster, fire!

[The megazord blasts Skull Rage, who sparks, and cackles in golden energy bolts. The Skull Rage then shatters into a zillion little pieces.]

Yee-Haw!

[Meanwhile, on the ground, the five core rangers ready their Katana Morphers, and spin their Morph Shurikens to execute a five-way attack.]

ALL CORE RANGERS:
Spec Rage! You've been had! Ninja Strike!

[The Rage flails as she sparks and cackles in red energy bolts. She then collapses backward, and explodes. Spec Rage is destroyed.]

EXT.-CITY-PLAZA-DAY
[In the plaza, Trist meets up with Monukye.]

TRIST EMERSON:
(readying himself for anything)
Monukye! What do you want!?

MONUKYE:
Want, Gold Ranger? You and I both have one thing in common of what we want. The End Shuriken.

TRIST EMERSON:
I don't know what you're talking about! You are the one who betrayed Ray Frost, and swayed to darkness years ago!

MONUKYE:
(sternly)
I betrayed Ray long ago because he is afraid of me! I asked to borrow the End Shuriken...but he refused. Become my student, and together we will get what we want.

TRIST EMERSON:
I come from a long line of Demon Hunters. Why would I make a deal with you? It was your friends in the Demon Core that murdered my family!

MONUKYE:
Because! I was not a part of the Demon Core when they murdered your family! Even if you become Ray's next student, he won't give you the End Shuriken...because you are not of the Frost family. Only the Red and White Rangers are. And their father won't get it either...he's worthless!

TRIST EMERSON:
Why should I trust you, Monukye!?
MONUKYE:
(as she vanishes)
Think about it, Gold Ranger!

[The core Frost Dojo students catch up with Trist.]

IZZY FROST:
There you are!

IAN FROST:
Come on. Let's all head home!
