Power Rangers: Multiverse Force


Recommended Posts

You know the drill by now, the latest story will be in spoiler to avoid the dreaded data limit lengths!

 

(Warning: Walls of Text Ahead)

(Cold Open):

The show opens up on Samson and Patsy, now the Red and Pink Thunder Rangers respectively, beginning to fight against Fruit Freak! Fruit Freak says: “Power Rangers you may be, but you will NEVER defeat me!”

Samson scoffs, and he says: “You're kidding, right? Do you have ANY idea of the kinds of things I USED to have to endure at Camp Kidney before BlackHawk came along? THIS is a picnic!”

Patsy says: “Speaking of, it's time to blend you up good! Hi-ya!”

And she throws a good punch at Fruit Freak, and hits it in its mango chest, but her fist, and arm begin SINKING into it! Patsy says: “Samson, help me! It's pulling me IN!!!!”

Fruit Freak says: “You're not going to devour ME! I'm going to devour YOU!!!!”

Samson gets REALLY angry, and he says: “Devour THIS!!!!”

And his fist UNEXPECTEDLY powers up with fire, and he punches it at Fruit Freak! The shock is enough, that she releases Patsy, and Fruit Freak now has char marks on her pineapple face! Fruit Freak says: “YOW! That hurt, you JERK!”

Patsy says: “Thanks, Samson!”

Samson says: “Wow. Did I do THAT?!”

On Samson's communicator, Omnus says: “You'll learn how to do MORE than that, in time. My name is Omnus, a mentor of the Power Rangers. Samson, as the Red Thunder Ranger, you will have a mastery over fire, Patsy, you will have a mastery over wind. Master your special powers, utilize your special weapons, and no monster will be able to defeat you.

Patsy says: “That's good to hear, but how DO we access our weapons?”

Omnus says: “Simply put out your hands, concentrate your Aura power, and say, 'Activate, Thunder Weapons'!” /

Samson and Patsy both simultaneously say: “Activate, Thunder Weapons!”

In Patsy's arms, she gets a pretty, Phoenix Spear! And to Samson's surprise, he gets TWO Red Dragon Swords!

Patsy says: “Wait a minute, how come YOU got two weapons?!”

Samson giggles sheepishly, and he says: “I SWEAR, I'm NOT even TRYING! Besides, barring some unforeseen circumstance, you're ALWAYS going to have one more battle of experience than me!”

Patsy thinks about it, and she says: “True enough.”

Than suddenly, Krash'ir, and two streaks of green and yellow appear beside them. Samson asks: “More new Rangers?”

Krash'ir says: “I'll make the introductions brief. Green Thunder Ranger is Coop; Yellow Thunder Ranger is D.O.G., Red Thunder Ranger is Samson, and Pink Thunder Ranger is Patsy.”

Patsy says: “Come on! Why did you introduce me LAST?! I've had more Ranger experience than THEM, you know!”

Krash'ir says: “Yeah, by ONE battle, same as ME! Although, for the life of me, I can't REMEMBER who it was that I replaced. It's like a great big BLUR that wasn't there.”

Coop says: “We can argue about semantics later. For now, let's focus on the action at hand!”

Samson asks: “Do you two know how to access your Thunder Weapons?”

Coop says: “I happen to be a professional Aura user, as a Woo Foo Warrior.”

D.O.G., says: “And I've been studying with Adam, I'm ready for this!”

Coop and D.O.G., simultaneously say: “Activate Thunder Weapons!”

In Coop's arms, he gets a Green Lion Staff, and in D.O.G.'s arms, he gets a Cat of Nine Tails whip! D.O.G., says: “Weird. I was trying to summon a Morning Star whip! But then again, to paraphrase an old saying; 'Nine IS better than one'!”

Omnus talks on their communicators, and he says: “That's not all you can do. Coop, you have the ability to create Aura illusions, to fool your opponents. D.O.G., you can slow down time for the monsters, or speed up your own if necessary, in order to throw your opponent's timing off! And Krash'ir, you have the ability to master gravity. And I think you will like the weapon YOU summon!

Krash'ir says: “All right, let's try it! Activate Thunder Weapon!”

And in her arms, she receives a pair of Blue Kirin Nunchuks! Fruit Freak mockingly says: “Ooh, how scary! Beware of the Jump Rope!”

And without even batting an eye, Krash'ir, THROWS her Nunchuks' at Fruit Freak, knocking her up and down in a frenzy of gravitational energy! Krash'ir than puts Fruit Freak down, and asks: “Well, how does it feel to have your BUTT handed to you by a mere 'Jump Rope'?”

Omnus speaks on their communicators, and says: “And when you all need the fire-power to finish them off, channel your Aura's to bring forth the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers' Thunder Cannon! I even had it modified, so that you can charge it and fire it faster! And of course, if the monster should grow, call forth the Thunder Zords! I took the liberty of modifying them, so that they no longer need parts from the Dino Zords in order to operate, as well as modifying their interiors and controls, in order to make them more battle efficient!

Coop says: “You're the best, Omnus! Let's get ready for the REAL battle now, Rangers! Fruit Freak may not be an especially powerful monster, but it's STILL dangerous, just the same! I just hope wherever the OTHER Power Rangers are, they're handling THEIR battle as well as we do!” /

State of Shock: Part II

Captain Retro narrates, and he says: “Previously, on Power Rangers Multiverse Force; Dr. Maniac crossed the Moral Event Horizon, by capturing Mettaton, and kidnapping Alphys, to hold as as hostage. Omnus decided that Dr. Maniac could no longer get away with his scientific crimes, and henceforth, called on the help of seven Legendary Rangers, to help in our fight against Dr. Maniac. With the help of Sans, we have journeyed to Planet Onyx, where Dr. Maniac has rebuilt his original fortress from his battles against the Power Rangers Bionic Force. As we have no choice but to fight through, we're now staring down the gauntlet, of what might be Dr. Maniac's greatest threat ever, in order to stop the evil doctor once and for all!

Words appear on the screen, and they say: “Now, Present Day, the second to last Tuesday of 2178, Planet Onyx, Dr. Maniac's Fortress.”

The action first focuses in on Billy and StarHawk, walking down their corridor. StarHawk says: “This place is SO creepy, it puts some of the DARKER places on Planet Hawkia to shame!”

Billy says: “Not to mention that Dr. Maniac is a MAJOR fan of pressure based traps! That's why we got to keep a sharp eye out for those things!”

StarHawk says: “Or, using my ability to fly, I could simply CARRY you until we reach whichever monster we end up facing!”

Billy says: “Come on! It can't be THAT simple!” / (Gilligan Cut)

StarHawk is carrying Billy through the air, and StarHawk says: “It's THAT simple!”

Billy says: “I'm jealous! If we had someone like YOU around during some of our more intensive battles, they probably wouldn't have been so intensive!”

StarHawk says: “Save the compliments for later. I see a large room ahead. I'm going to put you down. I have a feeling we're about to encounter--.”

But she barely has time to throw Billy to the ground and AVOID getting blasted, as a menacing machine with an IMMENSE ray of blasters appears! The machine mechanically says: “I am Blast Bot. I hope you have enjoyed fighting battles against Dr. Maniac's creations, for this will be your LAST time!”

Billy asks: “Where did Dr. Maniac find YOU? The discount section of the Dollar Store in 1985?!”

StarHawk says: “It's a waste of time to question it. From my personal experiences, most robots do no UNDERSTAND, nor do they enjoy the concept of sarcasm as WE do!”

And as IF to prove her point, Blast Bot fires a BUNCH of blasts at Billy, who THANFULLY deflects them all with his Power Lance! Billy says: “I see your point! Blast Bot, you're going to have to do a LOT better than that! This Power Lance may be old school, but it STILL gets the job done! StarHawk, give me some cover fire with your Aura Attacks, and draw it's long-distance attacks towards you! I have a feeling this machine isn't built for close-range attacks!”

StarHawk says: “Agreed! Blast Bot, have a taste of my Shooting Stars!”

And as StarHawk begins to pepper Blast Bot with her yellow burst of energy stars, Billy closes in on Blast Bot, and begins hacking at Blast Bot, who is unable to focus on BOTH of them at the same time! Billy says: “You're about to get a lesson on what the power of team-work can do!” /

Meanwhile, the passageway Tommy and Usagi are walking down, looks more like a cave. Tommy says: “Something about this cave doesn't seem right to me.”

Usagi says: “I'm inclined to agree with you. Usually, Dr. Maniac is all ABOUT technology! This cave doesn't scream that at all!”

Tommy says: “Do you think he has something SPECIAL planned for us?” (CLICK!!!!)

And just like that, they hear the unmistakable sound of a GIGANTIC boulder rolling TOWARDS them! Usagi says: “RUN!!!!”

They run forward (it's the only way they CAN go, as the boulder and the dimensions of the cave, prevent them from even TRYING to go above the boulder or into a side cranny). Tommy looks ahead, and he says: “There's a giant PIT ahead! We'll never be able to jump over it!”

Usagi says: “Than I've got to BLAST the boulder! Aura Blast ATTACK!!!!”

And she shoots out a HUGE burst of white energy! She destroys the boulder, only to free FROM it, the undeniable image and appearance, of Scorpina! Tommy says: “SCORPINA?!!! It CAN'T be! We DESTROYED you!”

Scorpina says: “A minor fluke, I assure you! But it seems that Dr. Maniac was not the kind of scientist, who thought that I should STAY dead! During his travels, he went to the place where I fell in battle. Using his scientific prowess, he collected samples of my D.N.A., and was eventually managed to not only REVIVE me, but also strengthen my ALREADY impressive arsenal of poison attacks! I agreed to help him in exchange for one simple favor. That after I finally FINISH my battle with you, he would send me BACK in time to 1999, in order to train and study under the guidance of LOKAR! I'm SURE you remember HIM! He will train me to become a much more powerful and EVIL sorceress, than Rita Repulsa could have EVER become! And once I'm strong enough, if I don't finish you HERE, I'll finish you in the year 2028! And I'll ALSO make sure to eliminate your WIFE Kat, and your PRECIOUS son, J.J.!”

Tommy says: “You can target ME if you want to, but leave my WIFE and son OUT of this! Neither of THEM have any quarrel with you!”

Scorpina says: “Maybe so, but this is what I would like to recall, 'Revenge by Proxy'. If there's anyone CLOSE to you, they are AUTOMATICALLY a target for MY anger!”

Tommy says: “Usagi, bring out your strongest weapon! We'll take down Scorpina together!”

Scorpina says: “Oh, did I forget to mention? Dr. Maniac has camera monitors all OVER his fortress! My fight is to be with YOU Tommy, and YOU alone! If Usagi TRIES to interfere, the camera monitors will TRIGGER hidden blast panels in this cave, which will BLAST Usagi with THOUSANDS of BULLET holes, that even her Ranger Suit CAN'T protect her against! And DON'T think that I'm bluffing! After all, you KNOW how MUCH Dr. Maniac WANTS at least ONE of you dead!”

Usagi says: “I know you're not bluffing, but you're NOT leaving this fight, either!”

She runs behind Scorpina, and BLOCKS Scorpina from the CHANCE of trying to retreat! Usagi says: “You want a fight with Tommy? You've GOT it! And you're going to FINISH it to the bitter end!”

Tommy pulls out Saba, and he says: “Thank you, Usagi! Well, Saba, it's time to fight against Scorpina! You'll learn first hand what a FULLY energized White Ranger can do!” /

Meanwhile, Adam & Lettuce, are walking down a hallway FILLED with statues of little tanks! Lettuce says: “MAN, this guy has a SERIOUS crush on machines!”

Adam says: “Not nearly as bad as the Machine Empire robots, though. Those creeps actually WERE machines!”

Lettuce says: “And worst of it, this guy wants to be LIKE them! Can't he think of something MORE original?!” (CLICK!)

Than suddenly, the tank statues start WHIRRING, shake off their Marble coverings, and REVEAL their REAL tank nature! Adam says: “Those tanks are REAL!!!!”

Lettuce says: “Smash them all! Let's teach Dr. Maniac a LESSON!!!!”

So Adam & Lettuce bust out their weapons, and taking care to avoid the blasts that the Tanks are making, manage to SMASH all the Tanks into pieces, so they can't cause anymore damage! After they are done, Adam says: “Weird. That felt a little TOO easy!”

Lettuce says: “Agreed. I think that was only an APPETIZER for what's about to come next!”

And sure enough, the hallway opens up into a LARGE, circular room, and they hear the unmistakable WHIRRING of a rather LARGE tank, but they can't SEE anything! Than suddenly, a muscular voice says: “You've destroyed my little BROTHERS! How DARE you anger me?! I'll teach you some RESPECT for your mechanical superiors!”

Adam asks: “Who said that?!”

The voice says: “Having trouble FINDING me?! No surprise; I'm Transparent Tank; a rather BRILLIANT, sentient machine that Dr. Maniac decided to create! But HOW are you going to fight me?! That's the BEAUTY of it, you WON'T! After all, you can't FIGHT what you CAN'T see! You are FINISHED Power Rangers! You hear me, FINISHED!”

Lettuce says: “You don't KNOW us very well, do you?! Well, Adam, it's time to put that Aura Training of yours to GOOD use! Green Color BLAST!!!!”

And shooting out a LARGE burst of green energy color from his hands, Lettuce FILLS the room with green color, and it ends up SPLATTERING all over Transparent Tank, revealing him as a muscular, humanoid Tank Robot! Transparent Tank says: “YOU'RE despicable!”

Letttuce asks: “Ain't I a stinker? All right, Adam. Let's fight this guy together! We'll show him the TRUE power of a Green Ranger!”

Adam says: “Right!” /

Meanwhile Sans and Captain Retro, are running down through their corridor, until it SOMEHOW morphs into the image of a lush, green jungle! Sans says: “Hold the phone! What IS this place?”

Captain Retro says: “Technically speaking, I don't think this IS a place! Watch!”

Captain Retro tries to put one of his hands on a tree, but it passes THROUGH, and the image whirs electronically! Captain Retro says: “Just as I thought, an elaborate hologram!”

Than they both hear a SINISTER buzzing, and Captain Retro's eyes IMMEDIATELY blanch with white, Anime fear! Captain Retro says: “Not BEES! Why did it HAVE to be BEES?!”

Sans angrily says: “And Dr. Maniac's EVIL Robot Bee Drones, at THAT!!!! You Bees, you want to see what TRUE power looks LIKE?!!!”

Captain Retro turns around and looks, and Sans FIRES out an INSANE amount of energy attacks from his skeleton hands; MORE than even HE could possibly hope to count, and Sans quickly and efficiently BLASTS every single Bee Drone apart! Captain Retro's mouth is agape, and he says: “WOW! That was SCARY good! No wonder Chara calls you 'That ONE Boss'. Have you ever thought about auditioning to become 'Rambo', or something like that?”

Than suddenly, Bionic Gorilla rushes in, and puts his two arms on the ground HARD! Bionic Gorilla says: “Sans MAY have blasted all those robot bees, but you WON'T blast me!”

Sans asks: “And what makes you think that I won't?!”

Bionic Gorilla says: “Ask Captain Retro, HE knows!”

Sans asks: “What do you KNOW, Captain Retro?”

Captain Retro sighs, and says: “I know that you CAN'T fight Bionic Gorilla, because unlike Dr. Maniac, he hasn't gone DOWN a 'True Genocide Path'. He's 'True Neutral'!”

Sans says: “But that means...!”

Bionic Gorilla says: “You cannot USE your powers against me. My fight is with Captain Retro alone. Let's see how well you do WITHOUT Pinkie Pie to back you up!”

Captain Retro says: “Please, Bionic Gorilla. Look at yourself! You are MORE than what Dr. Maniac SAYS you are! You don't HAVE to fight for him!”

Bionic Gorilla says: “Dr. Maniac saved MY life when nobody ELSE would have! He's MY master, right or wrong!”

Captain Retro says: “I KNOW that your past wasn't a REALLY happy one, but that doesn't mean your present OR your future has to be miserable as well.”

Bionic Gorilla says: “Dr. Maniac RESCUED me! I OWE him MY life!”

Captain Retro says: “Bionic Gorilla...or should I say; Windsor T. Gorilla?!!!”

This stops Bionic Gorilla DEAD in his tracks, and he tries to fight back tears, as he says: “No one...has called me that...since, BEFORE, the accident.”

Captain Retro says: “You're not LIKE Dr. Maniac; you're NOT evil! But Dr. Maniac IS! He's just USING you to further his evil ends, and using you to make MORE creatures like you be as MISERABLE and evil as Dr. Maniac is. Don't LET Dr. Maniac DO that to you! Break the cycle of hate, Dr. Maniac doesn't have power over you, only YOU do! And it's up to YOU to decide, whether you're GOING to let Dr. Maniac have his WAY with you, or if you want to make YOUR future BE what you WANT it to be! You can't TRUST Dr. Maniac! Once HE gets what HE wants, he'll DISPOSE of you, and YOU know it, to!”

Bionic Gorilla says: “I want to break free, but I don't know if I can!” /

Unbeknownst to Bionic Gorilla, Dr. Maniac is MONITORING the action on one of his monitor camera! Dr. Maniac yells: “WHY ISN'T HE TURNING them into Mulan Szechuan McNugget Sauce?! If you WANT something done RIGHT, you've got to DO it, yourself!”

And Dr. Maniac pushes a BIG red button labeled: “KILL THEM ALL!” And a BUNCH of Machine Gun cannons EMERGE from hidden panels in the holographic trees and rocks!

Captain Retro quickly says: “Retro Shield Barrier!!!!”

And he THROWS a BIG, gigantic shield barrier around himself, Sans, AND Bionic Gorilla! To Bionic Gorilla's SHOCK, the bullets were even coming in HIS direction, but are instead, harmlessly absorbed by Captain Retro's shield barrier, as each machine gun cannon fires a THOUSAND rounds before exhausting themselves! Bionic Gorilla looks in shock as Captain Retro dissipates his energy barrier. Bionic Gorilla says: “Dr. Maniac was willing to let ME die, just so he could KILL you!”

Sans says: “It's like Captain Retro SAID; Dr. Maniac is a TRUE Genocide nut! That MEANS he's WILLING to KILL EVERY THING! No matter WHAT their loyalty status, is!”

Bionic Gorilla says: “You've saved me. I owe you my life. What do you want me to do to repay you, Captain Retro?”

Captain Retro says: “You DON'T owe me anything! As of now, I'm releasing you from your life debt. You're now free to make your OWN choices, the way you were MEANT to!”

Bionic Gorilla says: “Than, I CHOOSE to fight with YOU guys! I choose to fight on the side of the Power Rangers, and the forces of good!”

Captain Retro says: “Glad to have you along, Bionic...I mean, Windsor! We could use all the help we can get! Just one thing, why don't you get RID of that Voice Box that Dr. Maniac FORCED you to wear? That mechanical sound is just NOT you!”

Bionic Gorilla takes OFF the 1980's Voice Box Technology around his neck, tosses it on the ground, and SMASHES it into oblivion for good measure! With a normal voice, he says: “I feel FREE again. It feels GOOD to have control over my own life again! I may not be able to get rid of my OTHER Bionic enhancements, but I think that I CAN use them to my advantage! One good turn deserves another! The password you need from this room, is the number, '4'!”

Sans asks: “Just, '4'?”

Captain Retro says: “I guess Dr. Maniac never thought we WOULD make it past Windsor, or that Windsor would HAVE a change of heart!”

Windsor says: “You're right. Even so, you're not OUT of the woods yet, LITERALLY! I'll take the lead, and I'll help you AVOID all the other traps Dr. Maniac set out for you!”

Sans asks: “How are you going to do that?”

Windsor says: “My circuits are STILL tapped into Dr. Maniac's central computer. And since he can't HEAR what we're saying, he WON'T be able to hear my plan! Since I'm now on YOUR side, he CAN'T over-ride my free will, but I CAN over-ride the REST of his trap systems! Unfortunately, I can't do anything about the monsters, but it will STILL be a big help to you guys!”

Captain Retro says: “Thanks, Windsor! I'm sure you'll be great at WHATEVER you decide to do, once we get out of here!”

Windsor pushes some buttons on his bionic arms, taps into Dr. Maniac's computer system, and sends out an electronic signal, which JAMS Dr. Maniac's trap mechanism, shuts down ALL holographic projections, and even shuts down Dr. Maniac's main computer for good measure! /

In Dr. Maniac's control room, Dr. Maniac says: “Why have ALL my main computer programs have gone off-line?! Diagnostics, give me a reading!”

Dr. Maniac pushes EVERYTHING electronic, and ALL the monitors will display, is an electronic reading, that simply reads the words: “Out of Order”.

Dr. Maniac says: “OUT OF ORDER?!!! ERRRR...even in the FUTURE, NOTHING WORKS!!!!” /

Windsor says: “Next stop, Dr. Maniac's inner sanctum. And he's going to find that his last attempt at a Back-stab Betrayal, WILL be his LAST attempt at a Back-stab Betrayal!”

Sans says: “No argument, with you, there!”

Captain Retro says: “Come on, Sans! Let's go save Alphys and hopefully, Mettaton!” /

Andros and Naruto are running down what APPEARS to be a never-ending hallway, until the lights flicker, and the electricity surges through the room, and they find out that they HAD been running on a moving sidewalk moving in the OPPOSITE way they were running! Naruto says: “Now THERE'S something you don't see everyday!”

Andros says: “But why did it suddenly stop? We didn't do anything.”

Naruto says: “Leave it to Captain Retro to find a way to make things easier for us!”

Than a big, pink robot with a rubber eraser for a head jumps out! And he says: “Your friends help will amount to NOTHING in the end! I am Evil Eraser, and I am going to RUB you out, see?! R-r-r-r-rub you out!”

Naruto says: “I don't think he's speaking in hyperbole! Fire Fox Blast!”

And Naruto FIRES a Fox-shaped blast of fire at Evil Eraser, but he BLASTS a pink ray at it, and the fire DISSIPATES into nothingness! Naruto says: “I was AFRAID of that!”

Andros says: “Nevertheless, I think that will be a good tactic! Keep FIRING those fire blasts at that creep and draw his erasing attack! I'll use my Astro Drill to drill some sense into him!”

Naruto says: “I like THAT plan! Hey, Eraser beast, let's see how you handle some rapid FIRE, blasting! Fire Fox Rapid Blast!”

And Naruto fires a bunch of fox-shaped blasts at Evil Eraser, FORCING Evil Eraser to direct ALL of his Eraser Ray at the blasts, leaving himself open to Andros' attacks! Andros says: “Nothing beats the power of team-work!” /

Meanwhile, Karone and Pinkie Pie have been floating through a starry, cosmic void for what feels like an ETERNITY to them! Karone says: “Okay, this IS weird! Even by RANGER standards!”

Pinkie says: “I should introduce you to Discord, sometime. You haven't even SEEN weird until you've seen HIS kind of weird!”

Karone says: “You know, I have been thinking about something, regarding you and Lettuce.”

Pinkie asks: “What about it?”

Karone says: “Lettuce says that he's already APOLOGIZED to you about a hundred times for building a shrine to Kira. So, what gives?”

Pinkie asks: “What do you mean?!”

Karone says: “What I MEAN is, why haven't you accepted his apology yet?”

Pinkie says: “HELLO! He proposed to me, and yet he STILL had a dedicated...flesh for fantasy...or something of that nature, involving HIM and Kira?! I CAN'T just FORGET that!”

Karone says: “I'm not ASKING you to forget! Look, Lettuce MADE a mistake. I GET it! Having feelings FOR Kira despite proposing to you, was a REALLY tacky thing to do! But people who made BIGGER mistakes than him, have LEARNED from their mistakes, and made real IMPROVEMENTS to the world! People FORGAVE them! I mean, look at ME! I once WAS Astronema, second-in-command to Dark Specter himself! If Andros and the Power Rangers were willing to forgive me, why can't you forgive Lettuce for something that is far LESS heinous than everything I did while I was Astronema?”

Pinkie says: “Wow. I never thought of it LIKE that! I guess I can give Lettuce another chance, but he has to PROVE that he's really committed to me, FIRST!”

Karone says: “Understandable!”

Than suddenly, they stop floating, the stars dissipate, and the room is revealed to have a LARGE floating brain with eyes! Karone says: “WOAH! I've HEARD of a BIG Brain, but THAT'S ridiculous!”

The brain speaks through telepathy, and think-speaks: (“What HAPPENED to Dr. Maniac's holographic projection and gravity manipulation?!”)

Pinkie says: “Captain Retro happened, that's what! And we're going to stop YOU...you...say, what ARE you, anyways?!”

The brain says: “I am Brain Beast, a creature that Dr. Maniac created after having a dream about a video game character boss design, who ended up actually BEING used in a 1997 video game! And you will NOT escape my sight, nor evade my warping technique!”

Pinkie says: “We'll just see about that! I'm the QUEEN of speed! Karone, target the EYES of that brain, and I'll attack his vulnerable underside from behind!”

Karone says: “Got it! It's time for that brain to get a taste of the Quasar Saber!” /

Meanwhile, BlackHawk and Kira are walking through what APPEARS to be a LITERAL Jurassic World, filled with real-life dinosaurs!

Kira says: “Man, Steven Spielberg would KILL to have THESE in his movies!”

BlackHawk says: “All I know is, it's taking FOREVER to trek through whatever THIS is, and NOT attract attention! Why don't I just BLAST these creeps and be done with it?!”

Kira says: “Well, we don't KNOW what kind of monster we're going to face! We should save our energy for when we REALLY need it! You can't ALWAYS just BLAST your problems away, sometimes you need to THINK about STRATEGY, and plan for the future!”

BlackHawk says: “You may be onto something, Kira. Having a strategy certainly would have helped me in my fight against the Zero Girls, when Dr. Maniac turned them evil! I guess even someone like me can stand to learn something new!” (WHIR!!!!)

Than suddenly, the dinosaurs suddenly fall down, and the holograms around their bodies dissipate, revealing VERY elaborate robotic skeletons, designed to LOOK like the dinosaurs they were pretending to be! Kira says: “See? What did I tell you? The dinosaurs WEREN'T even real!”

A feminine voice sinisterly says: “The dinosaurs might not have been REAL, but I am!”

And a female, humanoid monster suddenly appears once the holographic image of the jungle disappears, and is replaced with the image of a room filled with red-hot colors of yellow, orange, and red! Appropriately, the monster is decked out in an outfit made entirely of THOSE colors! BlackHawk says: “Looks like something you'd find in a costume BARGAIN bin...from 1985!”

The monster says: “I am Feminine Flame, I am literally HOT to the touch! You try to fight ME, and I will leave you BURNED!!!!”

Kira removes her helmet, and she says: “Burn THIS!!!! AHHHH!!!!”

And she does her Ptera Scream, and she screams SO loud, the resulting shock-waves and wind from her scream, blows OUT the fiery flames on her costumes, and leaves Feminine Flame a charred, brown shell of her former self! Feminine Flame says: “How could you? You blew out my flames!”

Kira says: “See, BlackHawk? It PAYS to have a strategy!”

BlackHawk says: “Good thinking! Now, it's time to see what Saba II, can TRULY do! Saba II, show me some of that fire-power that you have!”

Saba II says: “I'm on it!”

And Saba II starts firing laser blasts from it's eyes, energy blasts from it's sword blade, and even charges a very POWERFUL Aura blast that KNOCKS Feminine Flame to the ground! BlackHawk says: “Well, it's not EXACTLY a gun, but it gets the job done!” /

Meanwhile, FireHawk and Doggie Kruger are in the middle of a battle, fighting a BUNCH of marionette puppets designed to look like ALL the past monsters that Doggie Kruger has previously had to capture! FireHawk says: “I was NEVER a fan of puppet shows before, and this certainly doesn't help to improve their image in MY mind!”

Doggie says: “No matter HOW many I slash, they just don't seem to STAY down! Why do they KEEP coming for more?!”

(WHIR!) Than, as if to answer his question, the puppets suddenly hiss, and then dissipate! FireHawk says: “They were nothing but holograms! No WONDER you couldn't do a thing against them!”

Than a really MENACING monster appears, looking like an EVIL version of Pinocchio, and says: “Those fake puppets might have been holograms, but I'm the REAL deal! I'm Psycho Puppet, and I will take the duty of pulling the strings on YOU today!”

FireHawk says: “I don't THINK so! Black Fire BLAST!!!!”

And spewing out a blast of black fire, she SCORCHES Psycho Puppets' remote control, and melts it into a useless goo of electronic wires! Psycho Puppet says: “You RUINED my grand control!”

Doggie says: “We'll ruin more than THAT before we're through with you! Let's take this guy head on! He's not so tough without a remote to control victims!”

FireHawk says: “Agreed!” /

Finally, Captain Retro, Sans, and Windsor reach the doorway, which has eight different panels, for the eight different passwords needed. Sans says: “Well, we made it to the master door. Now, we just need to figure out which password goes where!”

Windsor says: “It's very simple. Each of the panels are numbered, one through eight, corresponding to which pathway each of you had to go through. So, the password for panel four, would be the one I gave to you.”

Captain Retro says: “So, in other words, '4', for panel four.”

Windsor says: “That about sums it up.”

Sans says: “'4 for four'?! You would THINK Dr. Maniac could be a LITTLE more creative than that!”

Windsor says: “Well, like I said, he didn't THINK you would GET this far!”

Captain Retro says: “And it's time for ME to help the other Rangers get this far!”

Windsor asks: “What do you mean?”

Captain Retro says: “I'm sorry, you're new to this. Allow me to explain. See, I'm a cosmic Radio D.J., and it's my job to play songs that the Rangers can hear, in order to spur them on, and help them in their fights against the EVIL monsters they have to fight, which you NEVER truly were! And as such, I think this occasion, calls for a 1984 hit song, by The Jacksons!” /

And while all the Rangers are fighting their respective monsters, Captain Retro plays a familiar 1984 hit song by The Jacksons, in the background, the hit song, “Torture.” / (Instrumental Opening) The Jacksons sing: “It was on the street so evil, so bad that even hell disowned it. Every single step was trouble, for the fool who stumbled on it. Eyes within the dark were watching, I felt that sudden chill of danger. Something told me to keep on walking; told me I should not have gone there. Baby, because you cut me like a knife, without your love in my life. I'm out, I'm walking the night and I just can't stop this feeling. It's torture, it's torture, it's torture. She was up a stair to nowhere. A room forever, I'll remember. She said as though I should have known her. Tell me, what's your pain or pleasure? Every little thing you find here, is simply for the thrill you're after. Loneliness or hearts on fire. I am here to serve all masters. She said, Reality is a knife, when there's no love in your life. Unmerciful is the night when you just can't stop this feeling. It's torture, it's torture, it's torture. And I still can't find the meaning, of the face I keep on seeing. Was she real or am I dreaming? Did the sound of your name turn a wheel, strike a flame in me? Whoo-hoo! (Instrumental solo) Baby, because you cut me like a knife, without your love in my life. I'm out, I'm walking the night and I just can't stop this feeling. It's torture, it's torture, it's torture. She said, Reality is a knife when there's no love in your life. Unmerciful is the night when you just can't stop this feeling. It's torture, it's torture, it's torture. When you call my name, it's torture! When you strike a flame, it's torture! When you call my name, it's torture! When you call my name, it's torture! When you strike a flame, it's torture! When you call my name, it's torture!” (Instrumental finish) /

And the Rangers all destroy their respective monsters, except for Scorpina, who gets KNOCKED into the pit meant to swallow Tommy, and she disappears magically before she is swallowed into darkness; and the passwords reveal themselves to the Power Rangers! Billy says: “All right! Our password, is the number, '1'!” /

Usagi says: “I can't believe it! You did everything RIGHT, and she STILL got away!”

Tommy sighs, and says: “To the past. I have a feeling that I might have to go back in time to my OWN time, soon. I have a feeling that I'll have to go on another mission. And I have a feeling that whatever outcome happens, that next mission may very well BE my last.”

Usagi says: “You can worry about that, later! For now, we've got our password, and the pit is being closed up, so we can cross now! Our password, is the number, '2'!” /

Lettuce says: “Transparent Tanks aren't so scary, when they aren't transparent!”

Adam says: “And we've got our password! Our password, is the number, '3'!” /

Naruto says: “Wow! You did it! You ERASED the eraser!”

Andros says: “I couldn't have done it without YOUR help! And we've got our password! Our password, is the number, '5'!” /

Pinkie says: “So much for Dr. Maniac's Brain Beast! For a boss that was BASICALLY a brain, it's REALLY not that hard to defeat it when you know HOW to!”

Karone says: “And we've got our password! Our password, is the number, '6'!” /

BlackHawk says: “Guess THAT flame...went down in flames.”

Kira says: “Seriously?!”

BlackHawk says: “Coop has always BETTER at coming up with witty remarks than I can. Besides, we've got our password! Our password, is the number, '7'!” /

FireHawk says: “So much for THAT puppet show! Hope there aren't any encores!”

Doggie says: “Agreed! And we now have our password! Our password, is the number, '8'!” /

Captain Retro says: “I have a feeling that my song worked! The other Power Rangers should be along in 3...2...1!”

And Captain Retro turns around, and sure enough, all the Power Rangers arrive at the big, steel door, no worse for the wear! Sans says: “Great! You guys ALL made it!”

Billy says: “Wait! Why is Bionic Gorilla with you?”

Captain Retro says: “His real name is Windsor, and I saved his life, and gave him back his freedom! He's one of the good guys, now!”

Lettuce says: “Awesome! And Pinkie?”

Pinkie says: “Yes?”

Lettuce says: “I'm...REALLY sorry about that whole SHRINE business! It wasn't FAIR to you. You...didn't deserve to have to put up with that ordeal, and I'm sorry I ever let that devotion get to such a bizarre state. I promise you, when we get back home, my romantic attentions will NEVER be focused on another woman EVER again! From now on, my heart will be set on you, and ONLY you. So, will you PLEASE give me another chance?”

Pinkie sighs, and says: “I suppose so. After all, I suppose MAYBE I over-reacted a little to the Shrine. After all, it's not like you WERE Karone when she was Astronema, basically GROOMED into being an evil villain for most of her life, than forcibly BRAINWASHED into being evil by Darkonda. The point is, I was upset by it, but I understand that you made a mistake, and that you are willing to learn from it. I can move past all this, but I need you to prove yourself to me for a little while, before I'll fully commit to anything, like us being together forever, or a reasonable facsimile thereof.”

Lettuce says: “Sure, I can live with that. I've waited THIS long to get together with you. A couple more months or so is worth the wait.”

Captain Retro says: “All right! Now it's time to put in the passwords, for the combination! Sans, tell me everyone's password!”

Sans says: “Right! You DID get all your passwords, didn't you?!”

BlackHawk says: “Of course we did!”

And the Rangers all whisper their passwords to Sans. Sans turns back around and says: “Okay! The passwords, in chronological order, for all the different panels, are as follows! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!

Captain Retro says: “So, the combined password combination is; '1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8'.”

Lettuce says: WHAT?!!! That's the STUPIDEST password combination I've EVER heard in my LIFE! That's the kind of combination an IDIOT would have on his LUGGAGE!”

Naruto says: “Wait! Did you SAY the password combination is, '1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8'?”

Sans says: “Yes.”

Naruto says: “That's AMAZING! I've got the SAME combination on my LUGGAGE! Captain Retro, open the door! And when we get back home, in a completely unrelated matter, remind me to CHANGE the combination on MY luggage!”

Captain Retro puts in all the passwords, and the big steel door swings open. A big, booming voice says: “COME FORWARD!!!!”

Tommy says: “Get ready, guys! We're about to enter the belly of the beast!”

And they all walk into the spacious room, which is filled what APPEARS to be a large cauldron, and a bunch of fiery FLAMES coming out of it, and a HUGE, floating, green head image of Dr. Maniac, appears OVER the cauldron! Pinkie says: “Oh, in Equestria's name, what have you DONE to yourself?!”

Dr. Maniac's voice booms: “I AM DR. MANIAC!!!! THE SMART AND POWERFUL!!!! WHO ARE YOU?!!! (DUH! DUH!) WHO ARE YOU?!!!”

Usagi says: “What are you TALKING about?! You know who WE are! I am Usagi, the brave and pretty! And we've come to ask--.”

Dr. Maniac's voice booms: “SILENCE!!!! THE GREAT AND POWERFUL DR. MANIAC, KNOWS WHY YOU HAVE COME! STEP FORTH, BIONIC GORILLA!!!!”

And Windsor reluctantly steps forth! Dr. Maniac's voice booms: “YOU DARE TO ASK ME FOR YOUR FREEDOM, DO YOU?! YOU CLINKING, CLANKING, CLATTERING COLLECTION OF CACOPHONUS JUNK?!!!”

And Windsor says: “WOAH!!!! Yes, sir. Yes, your honor. You see, a while back, Captain Retro saved my life. And--.”

Dr. Maniac's voice booms: “QUIET!!!! AND YOU, SANS, HAVE THE EFFRONTERY TO ASK ME TO STOP KILLING WHOEVER I LIKE! YOU BILLOWING BALE OF BOVINE BONES!!!!”

Sans says: “Yes, your honor! I mean, your excellency! I mean, your BRILLIANCY!!!!”

Captain Retro shouts: “ENOUGH!!!!”

And he walks over to a conspicuous green curtain, and OPENS it, revealing the REAL Dr. Maniac! Dr. Maniac turns around, and shouting through a voice amplifier, booms: “PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!!!! THE GREATEST, DR. MANIAC, HAS SPOKEN!!!!”

Karone scoffs, and asks: “Oh, come ON! Who are YOU?!”

Dr. Maniac shouts through the voice amplifier, and booms: “I AM THE GREAT AND POWERFUL--!!!!”

Than he steps away from the voice amplifier, and finishes: “Dr. Maniac!”

Captain Retro says: “I expected MORE from YOU, Dr. Maniac, but THAT was just SAD! How STUPID do you THINK we ARE?!!!”

Dr. Maniac says: You don't REALLY want me to ANSWER that one, do you, you PEONS?!”

Than suddenly Alphys' voice shouts: “RANGERS!!!! Have you come to rescue me! I'm up HERE, on this CHANDELIER!!!!”

And the Rangers look up, and sure enough, they see Alphys tied up to a LARGE, yellow chandelier, without ANY means of a method that she could POSSIBLY use to escape, or get herself down safely! Sans says: “Alphys! Don't worry, we'll get you down soon!”

Dr. Maniac says: “Don't BET on it, bone boy! Make ONE wrong move, and I will RELEASE the mechanism holding that chandelier in place! In other words, you MESS with me; Alphys WILL DIE and it WILL ALL BE YOUR FAULT!!!! I WARNED YOU NOT TO MESS WITH ME! BUT YOU WOULDN'T LISTEN!!!!”

StarHawk says: “Dr. Maniac, you are TRULY a--!!”

And then she starts SQUAWKING in high-pitched Hawkian, and although nobody can see it, BlackHawk is blushing from EMBARRASSMENT from what he is hearing! Bionic Gorilla asks: “What in the WORLD did she say?!”

FireHawk says: “She was speaking in our native Hawkian, and what she said, I can't repeat it exactly, because it might OFFEND Captain Retro! However, I can paraphrase what she said. She said, 'You are truly a most DEGRADING excuse for a poop-filled, fatherless child I have ever seen, and when we DO free Alphys, I am LITERALLY going to RIP up your BUTT and SHOVE IT DOWN your FREAKING MOUTH like the DONKEY that you ARE'! Totally paraphrased, of course.”

Captain Retro says: “Of course.”

Dr. Maniac says: “OOH, such spirit! Professor Bias always DID warn me to BEWARE of the Nice Ones! Of course, you won't LIVE much longer to CARE for such witty banter!”

Adam says: “And what's your DERANGED plan THIS time?! ANOTHER monster?!”

Dr. Maniac says: “THE monster! Allow me to present, the MENACING METTAON!!!!”

And he reveals a small, brown robot with a bunch of buttons, on a singular wheel. BlackHawk says: “Weird. He seemed a LOT more menacing down in the underground. Of course, I WAS younger back then, but STILL...”

Dr. Maniac says: “He may be small, but it's the SIZE of the fight IN the robot that counts! And don't think that you can MERCY your way through THIS one, all of his original programming is gone, and he WILL fight to YOUR deaths, or his! So much, for a TRUE PACIFIST ROUTE!!!!”

Sans' eyes start to glow red, and he says: “I'll SHOW YOU WHAT NO MERCY LOOKS LIKE!”

Captain Retro says: “THINK!!!! Alphys' life is STILL in danger! If YOU fight against Dr. Maniac, he WILL kill her!”

Sans says: “And if we fight against Mettaton, we'll kill HIM!”

Alphys shouts: “I MADE a hard-drive back-up of Mettaton's original programming while I was still in the underground! It's back in the lab! Don't worry about destroying THIS Mettaton, he's just a PAWN in Dr. Maniac's SICK game, like Windsor was! I can make a NEW Mettaton with his ORIGINAL programming once we get back home! Do what you NEED to do!”

Sans says: “We have no choice. We HAVE to destroy this Mettaton. It's the only way!”

BlackHawk says: “I'll take care of this QUICKLY, I remember how Alphys told me to beat him the LAST time! HEY, Mettaton! There's a BIG, SHINY MIRROR behind you, if you just STARE and LOOK!”

Mettaton turns around, and robotically says: “What? Where IS the mirror?”

And he reveals a HUGE On/Off Switch on the back of him! Lettuce says: “Pinkie Pie, NOW!!!!”

And Pinkie Pie QUICKLY switches Mettaton, from “On,” to “Off.”

Usagi says: “Phew! THAT wasn't so hard!”

Naruto says: “Yeah, Dr. Maniac usually FORCES us to fight for 28 minutes before WE can take care of a monster!”

Than a sexy, male voice COMES from Mettaton, and he says: “OOH, you switched me from 'On', to 'Off'. You must WANT to see my NEW form!”

Than Mettaton suddenly SHEDS its robotic exterior, and reveals a handsome, somewhat skeletal, tall, thin body! Mettaton sexily says: “Say hello to Mettaton Exe.!”

BlackHawk says: “WHAT?! That didn't happen the LAST time I went through the Underground!”

Captain Retro says: “You must have been playing a Beta Version with Gaster still in it.”

Alphys shouts: “I thought EVERYONE in the Underground AGREED that we would NEVER speak of 'Gaster', again!”

Captain Retro says: “Well, if you dig around hard enough...it's NOT important! Rangers, BLAST everything that Mettaton Exe., shoots at you, but DON'T hit him! I've GOT to play a radio song, and set up my phone lines for EVERYONE in the Multiverse!”

Kira asks: “What for?”

Captain Retro says: “I need to exploit Mettaton Exe., and it's ONLY weakness, his DESPERATE need for high ratings! And I've got the song that can make it happen! Rangers, you KNOW what YOU need to do!”

All the Rangers say: “Right!”

BlackHawk says: “Let's power up!”

Captain Retro begins his telepathic radio broadcast, and he says: “This is Captain Retro, coming to you with a special LIVE broadcast from the Planet Onyx, and they need YOUR help! Only with plenty of calls from YOU, the loyal listeners, will help defeat the latest threat they have to fight! So be sure to send all phone calls to 555-2278. Remember, that's the same as dialing, 555-CAPT! Here's a song that will SURELY get you in the right mood! From 1984, this is The Jacksons and Mick Jagger, with their mega hit song, 'State of Shock'!” /

/ And while all the Rangers are fighting Mettaton Exe., Captain Retro plays the familiar mega hit song by The Jacksons, and Mick Jagger, in the background; “State of Shock”! / The Jacksons and Mick Jagger sing: “Yeah, come on, baby. You gotta be mine, cause you're so fine. I like your style, it makes me wild! You take it to me good! You like it. Know, you should! You get me on my knees! Come on, baby! Well, please, baby, please. Listen, she looks so great, every time I see her face, she puts me in a state. A state of shock! We're doing it! Oh, ha, come on, baby. Oh, come on, baby. Come on, let me in. She put me on my knees! Please, baby, please! I know you like to tease, but please, baby, please. You take it to me good! You like it. Know, you should! I love the way you walk and talk, baby, talk! Listen, she looks so great, every time I see her face, she puts me in a state. A state of shock! She put me, ooh, in a state of shock. Now come over here. No, come over here. Ooh, talk, talk to me. State of shock! You know I really love you, baby! Want you, I really want you! You got me paralyzed! You got me paralyzed! You got me catatonic. You got me catatonic baby. You got me supersonic! You got me supersonic, baby! You know I'm deep fried. You know I'm deep fried. Yeah, look what you've done to me. Look what you've done to me! Look what you've done to me! Yeah, how you move! A state of shock! You know I need mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Come on, baby! You know I've really loved you, baby! (Michael Jackson, starts singing “Now” over and over until the end of the song). State of shock! You know I really want you! Yeah, baby, yeah, baby. Just look at me, look at me. State of shock! You drive me! You got me, you got me, you got me in a state of shock! Look at that, look at me. Look at me, look at me. Look at me. Ooh, look at me.” / And the hit song ends. /

And the listener tally clocks in at 44 MILLION listeners! Mettaton Exe., sexily says: “OOH! The ratings are at their absolute PEAK!!!! I have NEVER been more popular! I have reached the pinnacle of my popularity! This shall be my final fight! With your skills, you truly DO have the ability to stop Dr. Maniac, and save Core Earth from his wicked whims! I KNOW you will do me proud!”

And then Mettaton Exe., shuts down for good! BlackHawk says: “Do you see what you're dealing with NOW, Dr. Maniac?! No matter WHAT you throw at US, we ARE going to stop it! And that INCLUDES YOU, you VILE MONSTER!!!!”

But then, Dr. Maniac LOSES it in a way the Rangers have NEVER seen him lose it before! Dr. Maniac screams: “No, NO! NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!!!!!!!”

Captain Retro says: “Uh-oh! He's having a Villainous Breakdown!”

Dr. Maniac screams: “I must be DREAMING!!!! I'll be RUINED!!!! I didn't WANT to do THIS, but now, I have NO CHOICE!!!!”

StarHawk asks: “What is he talking about now?”

FireHawk says: “Oh, he's just bluffing again.”

Dr. Maniac says: “I am doing NO such THING!!!! You may have THWARTED every single ONE of my MECHANICAL creations, but now you must face against ME, the MASTER of ALL MACHINES! And I will PERSONALLY KILL YOU, even if I HAVE to take EXTREME MEASURES!!!!”

And with his cybernetic arm, he HACKS into Mettaton Exe., than he PULLS out FIVE CRIMSON red vials, marked “SUPER PSYCHO SERUM! Warning: DO NOT USE UNLESS THERE IS REALLY, REALLY, NO ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION!!!!”

Karone shouts: “STOP!!!! That's PURE concentrated ESSENCE of the five Psycho Rangers! Even just ONE of those vials, and you'll be--!”

Dr. Maniac screams: “It's TOO late for THAT!!!! I TRIED to be NICE about it, but you have SQUANDERED ALL YOUR CHANCES!!!!”

And Dr. Maniac INJECTS all five vials into his body, and he begins pulsating with a CRAZY amount of energy that even KARONE has NEVER felt before! Billy says: “This is not GOOD!!!!”

Captain Retro says: “Get inside my shield barrier!!!! This is going to get UGLY!!!!”

The fortress starts to shake and crumble apart, as if it can't WITHSTAND the energy entering into Dr. Maniac's body! Dr. Maniac's voice starts to MUTATE into the VOICE of the Legion, and he says: “I FEEL LIKE A NEW MANIAC!!!!”

And Dr. Maniac's body, FORCIBLY and SICKENINGLY MERGES ITSELF with Mettaton Exe's., body, and it begins to contort and WARP itself into a TWISTED, MANGLED mash of Machine and Organic parts from the two former, separate bodies, WARPING into a LARGE, HORRIFIC body horror that would make even TETSUO blush! Pinkie Pie says: “WOAH! Somebody call for a plastic surgeon!”

Dr. Maniac's voice booms: “I feel BIG again!”

Captain Retro says: “Windsor, get to the Astro Mega Ship, you're just collateral damage, here!”

Windsor says: “Whatever you do, don't get KILLED!!!!”

And Windsor runs outside to wait for the Astro Mega Ship to pick him up! And without even the NEED for a Bigga Ray, Dr. Maniac grows to a GIGANTIC size, and his body now seemingly LOOKS like 1995 C.G.I., computer graphics, ALMOST the same as the body utilized for movie villain, Ivan Ooze! Despite the Fortress coming apart at the seams, the section of ceiling that Alphys, and the chandelier she is tied to, is still safely secure in place! Dr. Maniac's voice booms: “All right, you Power brats! It's the Eleventh Hour, and your time is up!”

Tommy says: “Don't bet on it! It's time to summon ALL our fire-power!”

Billy says: “Right! I need Dino Megazord power, NOW!!!!”

And in a sight not seen since 1994, the original Dinozords roar back to life, and come rushing towards Billy! Tommy says: “I need Tigerzord power, now!”

And the Tigerzord runs towards Tommy, and he jumps into the cock-pit! Adam says: “I need Zeo Megazord power, now!”

And all five of the Zeo zords come together, and form into the Zeo Megazord! Karone says: “Go, Galactic!”

And the five Lost Galaxy zords, come together, and form into the Lost Galaxy Megazord! Kira says: “Dino Thunder, power up!”

And all three of the main Dino Thunder Zords come together, and form the Dino Thunder Megazord! Doggie Kruger says: “S.P.D., Emergency!”

And the S.P.D. Megazord appears, and Doggie Kruger jumps into it! BlackHawk says: “Now it's my turn! I need Lionzord power, now!”

And a familiar tune plays in the background, and says: “Gold Ranger, Lion Power! Gold Ranger, Lion Power! Gold Ranger, Lion Power! Gold Ranger, Lion Power!”

BlackHawk jumps into the cock-pit, hooks Saba II in, and BlackHawk says: “All right! Time to fight out what this Zord can TRULY do!”

The tune continues: “Gold Ranger, Lion Power! Gold Ranger, Lion Power! Go, Gold Ranger! Go, Gold Ranger right NOW!!!!”

The other Rangers look at all the completed Zord formations, and Pinkie says: “It's INCREDIBLE! Seven FULL Zord formations! This might be the biggest gathering of Zords, ever!”

Billy says: “Rangers, we could use a hand! I've modified the controls, but each Zord formation STILL needs at LEAST one more Ranger in order to run, properly!”

Naruto says: “What do you think? Same partnerships as last time?”

Andros says: “With one small modification. I'll go with BlackHawk. Naruto, you go help Kira.”

Naruto says: “Right!

StarHawk goes with Billy, Usagi goes with Tommy, Lettuce goes with Adam, Naruto goes with Kira, Pinkie goes with Karone, Andros goes with BlackHawk, and FireHawk goes with Doggie! Dr. Maniac says: “Impressive machines, to say the least! Now, let's see how well you handle them!”

To Be Continued... 

I hope you enjoyed reading it, as much as I did writing it. Enough said, true believers!

FINALLY! A normal episode of normal length! It's still a good one, though. / 

(Cold Open)

The show opens up on the five Thunder Rangers, doing battle against Fruit Freak. Fruit Freak says: “You think you Rangers are so tough?! I'll show you that I'm made of tougher stuff! Take THIS, green boy!”

And she fires a pineapple bomb at Coop, but it passes RIGHT through him, because it's an Aura illusion! Coop says: “WRONG direction!”

And he hits her from behind with his Lion Staff! Fruit Freak says: “Well, YOU say 'Tomato', I say, 'You're FINISHED'!”

D.O.G., says: “Slowaga!”

And time slows WAY down for Fruit Freak, as she fires tomatoes in slow motion, but D.O.G., uses his Cat of Nine Tails to whip them all away harmlessly!

Krash'ir says: “Hey! CAN Fruit Freak ACTUALLY fire tomatoes?”

Samson says: “Well, they ARE technically a fruit, ALL fruits have SEEDS, you know!”

Fruit Freak says: “Well, TECHNICALLY, I'm going to be firing Watermelon SEED bombs at you!”

Patsy says: “Phoenix Wind!”

And she spins her spear around like an electric windmill propeller, blowing ALL of Fruit Freak's seeds back at her! Fruit Freak says: “I've got SUCH a splitting headache!”

Samson says: “And it's about to get worse! Patsy, do that wind trick again! I've got an idea! Let's see if I can combine my fire attack in my swords, with your wind technique!”

Patsy says: “Sounds like a plan!”

Samson says: “Red Dragon Fire!”

And Samson's swords glow red hot, and he puts the flaming swords in front of Patsy's spinning spear, and the wind BLOWS the flames at Fruit Freak, scorching her, and bubbling up her insides!” Fruit Freak says: “YOW! I'm boiling hot!”

Coop says: “I think it's time to finish her off! Let's use the Thunder Cannon!”

The other Rangers say: “Right!”

All the Power Rangers say: “Activate Thunder Cannon!”

And a green cannon, with a Golden Dragon head, appears in their hands! D.O.G., says: “Channel your auras together...”

Fruit Freak says: “No, wait!”

All the Power Rangers say: “Fire Thunder Cannon!”

And the Aura energies from all five Thunder Rangers fire at Fruit Freak, blasting her into her individual fruits! The people she turned into fruits, are then returned to normal! Samson says: “All right, we did it! Our first monster down!” /

Queen Beryl says: “NO! It CAN'T be over!”

Kunzite says: “I thought this might happen, which is why I enacted a little extra magic ritual on this Youma. It's about to get a WHOLE lot bigger!” /

Than suddenly, the fruits that came apart from Fruit Freak begin to vibrate, and they begin to REJOIN together, and GROW into a gigantic monster! Fruit Freak says: “Okay, Power Punks! It's time for Round Two of this fight, and I WON'T be playing NICE this time!”

Krash'ir says: “I HATE it when these monsters WON'T stay down!”

D.O.G., says: “We can handle them! We need THUNDERZORD power, now!” /

Coop says: “Green Lion Thunderzord Power!” / Patsy says: “Pink Phoenix Thunderzord power!” / Krash'ir says: “Blue Kirin Thunderzord Power!” / D.O.G., says: “Yellow Korin Thunderzord power!” / Samson says: “Red Dragon Thunderzord Power!” /

The five Thunderzords come together, as a familiar theme song plays. The song sings: “They've got, a power and force that you've never seen before. They've got the ability to morph and to even up the score. No one, will ever take them down. The power lies on their si-yi-yi-yi-ide!”

Samson says: “Let's go!”

And they all jump into their cock-pits, and they are pleasantly surprised to see, that the insides of their individual zords, now look like the inside of the Tigerzord! Coop says: “This is the Green Thunder Ranger, checking in!”

Krash'ir says: “Blue Thunder Ranger checking in, all systems go!”

D.O.G., says: “Yellow Thunder Ranger checking in, ready to fight!”

Patsy says: “Pink Thunder Ranger checking in, NICE stereo!”

Samson says: “Red Thunder Ranger checking in, time to form the Thunder Megazord!”

And the five Zords form together, into the familiar form of the Thunder Megazord! Fruit Freak says: “The Thunder Megazord?! That's SO 1995!”

D.O.G., says: “It may be retro, like my brother, but it's STILL more than a match for you! Let's get up close and personal with THIS beast! Our fight's not over yet!” /

State of Shock: Part III

Captain Retro narrates, and he says: “Previously, on Power Rangers Multiverse Force; Dr. Maniac retreated to the safety and security of his fortress. Having no choice but to go inside, the Power Rangers, along with the Legendary Rangers, Sans, the unexpected help of Bionic Gorilla, now known as Windsor T. Gorilla, and myself, we have battled against six of Dr. Maniac's most evil monsters, and Scorpina. After doing battle against Mettaton Exe., Dr. Maniac suffered a villainous breakdown, and decided to take drastic measures, to fight against the Power Rangers. After injecting five Super Psycho vials into himself, and doing a forced Fusion Dance with Mettaton Exe., Dr. Maniac has now mutated into a gigantic cybernetic beast, threatening to destroy Planet Onyx. It will take the combined fire-power from all of the Rangers, to finish him off once, and for all!” /

Words appear on the screen, and they say: “Now, Present Day, the second to last Tuesday of 2178, Planet Onyx, Dr. Maniac's RUINED Fortress.”

The mutated, gigantic Dr. Maniac, is staring down the gauntlet, at seven megazord formations! Dr. Maniac, in a booming voice, says: “NOW, THAT'S HARDLY FAIR! SEVEN AGAINST ONE! BUT WITH MY NEW BODY, COMES NEW ABILITIES! YOU REMEMBER MY FRIENDS, THAT YOU KILLED IN MY FORTRESS?! WELL, SAY HELLO TO THEIR BIG BROTHER VERSIONS, THAT I'LL CREATE, JUST FOR YOU!!!!”

And twisting and contorting his own body, he produces GIGANTIC versions of Blast Bot, Transparent Tank (STILL in Lettuce's Green Aura Color blast), Evil Eraser, Brain Beast, Feminine Flame, and Psycho Puppet! Pinkie says: “EW! Gross! I don't think that I'm EVER going to be able to 'Un-see' that!”

Billy says: “We beat these beasts before! We can beat them again! Everyone, take the beast that you took down the last time! Tommy, you and Usagi go after Dr. Maniac!”

Tommy says: “I'm on it!”

Dr. Maniac asks: “Shall we tango?”

Usagi says: “Don't make jokes like that! Let's see if MY powers will work with YOUR Zord! Calling on the Sailor Moon Staff!”

And to Tommy's surprise, a GIGANTIC version of Usagi's Sailor Moon Staff appears in the arms of the Tigerzord! Tommy says: “Wow! I didn't know you could do that!”

Usagi says: “I've been practicing on our Simulation Planet, but I haven't HAD the occasion to try it out before with a REAL battle experience! This is my FIRST real test with this!”

Tommy says: “All right, Usagi! You're familiar with YOUR staff! You take the controls!”

Although Tommy can't see it, Usagi is blushing inside of her helmet, and she says: “Tommy, I'm SO flattered! In another time, in another place...well, it's not important! Let's focus on taking this creep DOWN, once and for all!”

Tommy says: “Right!”

Billy says: “Haven't used THIS trick for a while! Activate the MASTODON Shield!”

And Blast Bot BLASTS a bunch of rounds at the Dino Megazord, but the Mastodon Shield harmlessly absorbs all of his rounds! StarHawk says: “Looks like 1985 technology is no match for a 10,000 year old Megazord!”

Billy says: “Right! It's time to call upon the Power Sword!”

And the Power Sword streaks through the sky, and lands on the ground! The Dino Megazord picks it up, and glints it's eyes! Billy and StarHawk simultaneously says: “Power Sword Lightning Strike!”

And summoning lightning from the sky, The Dino Megazord swings the Power Sword, strikes THROUGH Blast Bot! It falls over, and PROMPTLY explodes on the ground!

Billy says: “That's one beast down, and six to go!”

Transparent Tank says: “You may be able to SEE me, but you STILL can't match me for PURE strength, when it comes to fire-power!”

Adam says: “Want to bet? The Zeo Megazord might surprise you! Activate Zeo Ranger I Battle Helmet Mode!”

And the helmet on the Zeo Megazord switches to have the helmet of Zeo Ranger One's Zord! Lettuce says: “Fire Power Blast!”

And Lettuce pushes the firing button! Although Transparent Tank fires a powerful energy shot at the Zeo Zord's blast, the Zeo Zord's attack is MORE powerful, and HITS Transparent Tank, knocking it back! Transparent Tank asks: “Is that ALL you've got?!”

Adam says: “You wish! Activate Zeo Ranger II Battle Helmet Mode!”

And the helmet on the Zeo Megazord switches to have the helmet of Zeo Ranger Two's Zord! Lettuce says: “Fire Double Blaster!”

And Lettuce pushes the firing button! This time, Transparent Tank tries to BLOCK the attack with his tough Tank exterior, but he STILL gets knocked back, and falls over! Transparent Tank says: “You LITTLE cheats! Why don't you try fighting ME fair and square?!”

Lettuce scoffs, and he says: “NOW you WANT to talk FAIRNESS?! Sorry, but you're a day late, and a dollar short!”

Adam says: “I agree! Activate Zeo Ranger 4 Battle Helmet Mode!”

And the helmet on the Zeo Megazord switches to have the helmet of Adam's Zeo Zord! Lettuce says: “Fire Lightning Blast!”

Transparent Tank says: “No lightning can hurt--!”

But Transparent Tank is INSTANTLY proven wrong, as Transparent Tank is SHOCKED to its core, and becomes PARALYZED, and unable to move! Transparent Tank says: “My joints have all FRIED!!!!”

Adam says: “It's time to finish him off! Activate Zeo Ranger V Battle Helmet Mode!”

And the helmet on the Zeo Megazord switches back to have it's normal Zeo Ranger Five's Zord! Lettuce says: “It's time to call upon the Zeo Sword!”

And wielding it's powerful Sword, the Zeo Megazord swings it at Transparent Tank, and Transparent Tank says: “I'm heading for the SCRAP HEAP!!!!”

And Transparent Tank falls down, and explodes! Lettuce says: “Scratch one Tank!”

BlackHawk asks: “Andros, who is THAT big, pink freak?!”

Andros says: “That's Evil Eraser! I don't know HOW we're going to get close enough to fight him, without him blasting his erase ray in our faces!”

BlackHawk says: “I think I might, though!”

BlackHawk activates his communicator, and says: “Alpha 7, can you read me?!”

Alpha 7 says: “I read you loud and clear, BlackHawk!”

BlackHawk says: “Good! I need you to fly the Astro Mega Ship to blast at Evil Eraser, and distract him so WE can deliver the finishing blow!”

Alpha 7 says: “I'm on it! D.E.C.A., you know what to do!”

D.E.C.A., says: “Activating interception attack routine, #3.”

And the Astro Mega Ship flies in, and starts shooting energy blasts at Evil Eraser, tricking it into firing its Eraser Rays at it! BlackHawk says: “Now's our chance!”

Andros says: “Brilliant! You know YOUR Zord better than I do, you do the honors!”

BlackHawk says: “Right! To quote George Harrison of The Beatles; Here Comes the Sun! Solar Energy Blast Attack!!!!”

And firing a BIG yellow blast of energy, the Lion Zord fires its solar energy at Evil Eraser! Evil Eraser is KNOCKED down to the ground, and PROMPTLY explodes! BlackHawk says: “Personally, I like the type of gun you ONLY need to fire once, like THAT!”

Brain Beast says: “You WON'T be taking me down a SECOND time, because THIS time, my brain waves are AMPLIFIED!”

And Brain Beast begins shooting electricity at the Lost Galaxy Megazord! Pinkie says: “He's got us in some electric-magnetic dead-lock, I can't break free!”

Lettuce says: “Hold on, Pinkie Pie! Activate Zeo Ranger III Battle Helmet!”

And the helmet on the Zeo Megazord, switches to have Zeo Ranger Three's Zord on it! Adam says: “Ground strike!”

Lettuce says: “On it!”

And Lettuce pushes a button, and the Zeo Megazord POUNDS on the ground, and the ripple effect CAUSES a gigantic Earthen pillar to appear underneath Brain Beast, and KNOCKS him off balance, causing it's electric blasts to HIT itself! Brain Beast says: WOAH! My senses are all scattered!”

Pinkie says: “Thank you, Lettuce, that was CLOSE!”

Lettuce says: “Anytime for you, Pinkie! No beast is going to hurt YOU on my watch!”

Pinkie says: “We can't take another blast like that!”

Karone says: “I've got an idea! I just hope it works! Lights of Orion, ACTIVATE!”

And to Karone's surprise, Golden Bracelets appear on ALL of the Rangers, and all the Zords now have a GOLDEN Glow to them! Karone says: “Wow! I didn't THINK that would work! Apparently, you just need at least FOUR other Rangers with you to activate the technique, not JUST your four other Rangers from the same team!”

Pinkie says: “Let's put this fire-power to good use! Time to use the Lost Galaxy Power Sword!”

Brain Beast says: “Have MERCY on me!”

Karone says: “MERCY THIS!!!!”

The Lost Galaxy Megazord STRIKES at Brain Beast, but instead of falling over, it evilly says: “If I GO DOWN, I'm TAKING ALPHYS WITH ME!!!!”

And Brain Beast FALLS Toward Alphys, threatening to CRUSH her! Sans says: “SOMEONE HELP HER!!!!”

Captain Retro FLIES towards her, and says: “Hold ON, Alphys!”

Captain Retro gets to the yellow chandelier that Alphys is on, and Captain Retro says: “Kamehameha!!!!”

And Captain Retro FIRES a blue wave of energy at Brain Beast, and not only STOPS it from falling, but actually PUSHES it into the vacuum of outer space! Brain Beast can only say: “Curses! Foiled AGAIN!”

And Brain Beast EXPLODES as soon as it leaves the atmosphere! Captain Retro undoes the chains holding Alphys, and Alphys says: “Thanks, Captain Retro, I thought I was FINISHED!”

Captain Retro says: “Not on MY watch, you're not!”

Captain Retro activates his communicator, and says: “Alpha 7, warp Alphys, Sans, and Windsor T. Gorilla into the Astro Mega Ship! We'll finish up here!”

Alpha 7 says: “I'm on it, Captain!”

Alphys turns around, and says: “Good luck, Captain Retro!”

And Alphys, Sans, and Windsor are warped onto the Astro Mega Ship! Captain Retro says: “Well, that's one task down. Now, all that's left is Doctor Maniac!”

Feminine Flame says: “You may have beaten me with BlackHawk's help, but I will NOT go down a SECOND time!”

Kira says: “Don't bet on it! The Dino Thunder Megazord has got more gadgets on it than a Swiss Army Knife! Activate the Parasaurus Zord!”

And a Green Dinozord appears on one of the arms of the Dino Thunder Megazord, and Naruto says: “Double Scissors attack!”

And with lightning fast speed, the Dino Megazord, ATTACKS Feminine Flame with a lightning cut attack, and the Megazord doesn't even GET hot! Feminine Flame says: “YOW! How did you do that?!”

Kira says: “It's all a matter of timing! Speaking of, time for the Ankylosaurus Zord!”

And an Orange Dinozord appears on one of the arms of the Dino Thunder Megazord! Feminine Flame says: “You think you're SUCH hot stuff, get a taste of THIS!!!!”

And Feminine Flame begins spewing flames at them, but Kira says: “Activate Ankylo Shield!”

And the Ankylosaurus Zord acts as a spinning shield, protecting it from the fire produced by Feminine Flame, until it completely EXHAUSTS itself! Feminine Flame says: “Ooh, I'm all out of FIRE, and I'm all out of power!”

Kira says: “Now's our chance!”

Naruto says: “Right! Double Drill Attack!”

And using it's twin drills, it STRIKES at Feminine Flame, Feminine Flame FALLS down to the ground, and LITERALLY explodes in flames! Naruto says: “Now, THAT was a hot battle!”

Psycho Puppet says: “It's time for ME, to PULL the strings on you, for REAL, this time!

And Psycho Puppet SHOOTS a bunch of puppet strings at the S.P.D. Megazord, and starts to DRAG it toward Psycho Puppet! Anubis 'Doggie' Kruger says: “Bad move, Psycho Puppet! You want to play at Tug of War? You're going to lose!”

The S.P.D. Megazord REACHES for the puppet strings, pulls ON Psycho Puppet, and Psycho Puppet flies STRAIGHT into the fists of the S.P.D. Megazord, and the S.P.D. Megazord TIES Psycho Puppets' arms, and makes Psycho Puppet HIT himself with his arms! FireHawk says: “Come on! Stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself!”

Psycho Puppet says: “I cannot! You're even making it an EXTRA irony, by implying the fact that I'M the one who is hitting myself!”

FireHawk says: “We've got this puppet on a string! Doggie, do the honors!”

Doggie says: “Right! S.P.D., Final Judgement!”

And it FIRES a big energy blast at Psycho Puppet, it's puppet strings disintegrate, and it falls to the ground and explodes! FireHawk says: “Too bad you didn't have a conscience to help you learn the difference between right and wrong!”

Meanwhile, the Tigerzord is brandishing the gigantic Sailor Moon Staff in Dr. Maniac's mutated face, hitting him in every single direction, not letting up for a minute! Tommy says: “We've got him on the ropes! Time for a little fire-power!”

And Tommy activates the fire orb, and the Tigerzord shoots flames at Dr. Maniac, and he falls over! Dr. Maniac says: “This is ABSURD! How am I getting beaten by ONE lousy Zord!”

Billy says: “It's about to get a lot WORSE for you! We've BEATEN all your gigantic creations, and you're the LAST menace standing!” /

Meanwhile, back at Core Earth, the Thunder Megazord is busy throwing its STRONGEST punches, kicks, and throws at Fruit Freak, but NOTHING is keeping her down! Fruit Freak says: “You can't defeat me! I'm part of a balanced DIET, after all!”

Coop says: “How are we going to beat this freak? Nothing is working!”

Than Omnus contacts the Thunder Rangers on their communicators, and says: “Thunder Rangers, I just received news from the Planet Onyx! The Power Rangers have beaten ALL of Dr. Maniac's evil beasts, and now, only Dr. Maniac remains! Use your Power Sword, and use it to deliver the finishing blow to Fruit Freak!”

D.O.G., says: “Omnus is right! If the Power Rangers can win THEIR fight, we can win ours!”

Samson says: “Than let's do it! Activate the Power Sword!”

And the Thunder Megazord reaches for the Sword within its sheath, and pulls it out! Fruit Freak says: “Uh-oh! That's a REALLY sharp knife!”

Patsy says: “Activate Thunder Lightning Strike!”

And with one SWIFT swipe, the Thunder Megazord strikes at Fruit Freak, and it says: “I'm going to that Juice Bar in the sky!”

And Fruit Freak falls down and explodes! Krash'ir says: “Now THAT'S how you beat a monster, and OLD School, at that!” /

Queen Beryl puts her head in her hands, and MOANS in frustration! Queen Beryl says: “I can't believe a team of five, almost COMPLETELY inexperienced Rangers, totally thrashed our Youma! What a complete WASTE today was!”

Abaddon says: “Not quite! Look at the energy we've gathered for Queen Metallia!”

And they look at the container reading, indicating the energy needed to revive Queen Metallia! Abaddon says: “Remember our true goal. Even if your Youma should fall, the energy they generate ALL goes toward reviving Queen Metallia! Fruit Freak has already generated 5%, all by herself. It may take some time, but it will ALL be worth it, once Queen Metallia is brought back to life!”

Queen Beryl says: “Quite right! Perhaps today WASN'T a total loss, after all! Everything is proceeding EXACTLY as we have planned!” /

Meanwhile, back on Onyx, Dr. Maniac is positively FURIOUS! Dr. Maniac says: “I am SICK and TIRED of you Power Rangers always RUINING my plans! Do you honestly think you can stop ME?! I am the Purely EVIL Rick! And there's NO force in the Multiverse, powerful enough to DESTROY me!”

Tommy says: “You're wrong, Dr. Maniac! We're destined to destroy you! Because we've got something that you'll NEVER have! The power of team-work! And with our combined fire-power, we can bring even YOU down! Captain Retro, you've got a song that can get the job done?”

Captain Retro says: “You know it, and I think it's a song, that you, Billy, AND Adam will be familiar with! The Red Hot Chili Peppers 1989 hit cover version of “Higher Ground!” /

And the seven Megazords begin utilizing all of their attacks on Dr. Maniac, while the Red Hot Chili Peppers begin rocking, by singing their hit cover version, of “Higher Ground!” / (Instrumental Opening) The Red Hot Chili Peppers sing: “People, keep on learning! Soldiers keep on warring! World keep on turning cause it won't be too long! Powers keep on lying! While your people, keep on dying! World keep on turning cause it won't be too long! I'm so darn glad they let me try again, cause my last time on Earth I lived a whole world of sin! I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then! Gonna keep on trying till I reach the highest ground! Teachers keep on teaching! Preachers keep on preaching! World keep on turning cause it won't be too long! Oh, no. Lovers keep on loving! While believers keep on believing! Sleepers just stop sleeping! 'Cause it won't be too long!!!! Oh, no! I'm so darn glad they let me try again, cause my last time around, I lived a whole world of sin! I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then! Gonna keep on trying till I reach the highest ground! And Stevie knows nobody's gonna bring me down! Till I reach the highest ground! Cause me and Stevie, we're gonna be sailing on the funky sound! Till I reach the highest ground! Busting out and I'll break you out, cause I'm sailing on. Till I reach the highest ground! Just sailing on, sailing on the higher ground! Till I reach the highest ground!!!!” (Instrumental Finish!) /

And the epic song ends as ALL the Megazords pull out ALL their respective finishing moves, and HIT the mutated Dr. Maniac SIMULTANEOUSLY!!!! Dr. Maniac screams: “NO!!!! My body is DISINTEGRATING!!!! NO, No, NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” (BOOM!!!!!!!!!!! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!!)

Sans says: “They DID IT!!!!”

Tommy sighs, and says: “It's over. It's FINALLY over!”

Kira says: “Even Dr. Maniac couldn't survive THAT!”

Billy says: “Come on, everybody. Let's get back on the Astro Mega Ship.” /

The Rangers have all de-morphed, and are now back on the Astro Mega Ship. Everyone is giving hugs to everybody, but Lettuce is getting a special treat! Pinkie says: “Lettuce, I wanted to personally thank you, for helping to save my life today.”

Lettuce says: “Come on, Pinkie. I was just doing my job as a Ranger. You know that I'd do it for anybody, whether they were a fellow Power Ranger or not.”

Pinkie says: “Still, I think you deserve a little reward for all your trouble.”

And Pinkie gives Lettuce a BIG kiss on his beak! Lettuce's cheeks turn red, and he dreamily says: “I could get USED to getting THIS type of reward!”

Captain Retro says: “Alphys, sorry about that whole Mettaton thing. You know if we COULD have used mercy with him, we would have.”

Alphys says: “Well, perhaps THIS time, maybe I'll be able TO fix Mettaton so that he WON'T malfunction and try to kill people LIKE he did the last time!”

BlackHawk says: “I'm all for that. But what I DON'T understand is why Dr. Maniac tried to kidnap you in the first place!”

Alphys snaps to realization, and says: “I can't believe I forgot! Right before he captured me, I FINALLY figured out a way to DESTROY the Dark Kaiser for GOOD!”

Captain Retro says: “Really?! What is it?!”

Alphys nervously says: “Well, you're not going to like it, though. It appears as though the body that Dark Kaiser has been using, isn't REALLY his body, it's just an empty shell controlled by his mind. The Dark Kaiser's REAL body, is ACTUALLY the Dark Kaiser's very own FORTRESS itself, located WITHIN the DREADFUL Nazi Realm! If you WANT to finish the Dark Kaiser off for good, and we DO need to, we have no choice, but to eventually venture INTO the Nazi Realm, fight the Nazi's within, and DESTROY Dark Kaiser's Fortress itself. Than, and ONLY than, can Dark Kaiser be killed off for good.”

Captain Retro says: “Well, it can't be helped. But just know this. The Dog Guardian can only ALLOW me to protect you while you're in THIS dimension, or an EXACT mirror dimension of this dimension. If you go into the Nazi realm, I'm afraid you must do it on your own. I cannot be allowed to interfere in that dimension.”

Usagi says: “Don't worry, Captain Retro. We'll cross that bridge, when we come to it!”

Andros says: “Guys, I'm picking up a visual transmission from Omnus and the Magi-Mother.”

Adam says: “Well, what are you waiting for? Put them on-screen.”

Andros turns on the visual screen, and Omnus, and the Magi-Mother appear, with the FIVE Thunder Rangers behind them. Tommy says: “Wow! New Ranger powers! And they look a LOT like my Tigerzord power!”

The Magi-Mother says: “Captain Retro, I want to thank you for your decision to entrust the Thunder Morphers, to a new generation of individuals. These individuals have been selected, to help and defend Core Earth whenever necessary. We WELCOME them now, into the POWER RANGERS family!”

And the Thunder Rangers unmask themselves, although Coop has to shrink back to his normal size BEFORE he can do so! Karone says: “Samson, Patsy, Coop, D.O.G., and Krash'ir! You're the NEW Thunder Rangers!”

Captain Retro says: “Wow! My own brother is a Power Ranger, now! I guess it runs in the family!”

BlackHawk says: “Mine, to. I guess that means I'll have to take Aura Training with you, a little MORE seriously now!”

Windsor says: “Congratulations, Samson and Patsy, on becoming Thunder Rangers, you two really deserve it!”

Omnus says: “And congratulations, Windsor, on becoming one of the good guys! Any help you can give to us, will be very much appreciated by us in any future endeavors to come!”

Usagi says: “That's not all! We defeated Dr. Maniac, and Alphys has figured out how we can destroy the Dark Kaiser once and for all!”

Omnus says: “The Dark Kaiser can wait, for the time being. You have all gone through a terrific battle, and I am proud of all of you. Tommy, we will soon return you to your own time. It may have been only a short time for you, but Scorpina's WAITING for you, back in the year 2028. It's time to fight with Scorpina, one last time, and ensure your legacy, as a Power Ranger.”

Adam asks: “Are you nervous, Tommy?”

Tommy sighs, and says: “A little. But I know that whatever happens, I know the future of the Power Rangers, is in good hands.”

StarHawk says: “Thank you, Tommy. To hear you say that to us, really means a lot to us.”

Andros says: “Come on guys, let's ALL go home! After all, soon, it WILL be, Christmas Day!”

Naruto says: “I'm just glad the threat of Dr. Maniac is FINALLY all over!”

And the Astro Mega Ship flies BACK to Core Earth, with The Pretenders singing: “Hear them sing; soon it will be Christmas Day.” /

But BACK on the Planet Onyx, a SINISTER Psygorn, looks through the RUINS of Dr. Maniac's fortress, and FINDS what he's LOOKING for! The PULSATING, Powerful MASS of intellect, of Dr. Maniac's STILL living BRAIN!!!! Psygorn picks up Dr. Maniac's brain, and Psygorn says: “Oh, you're not OVER with Dr. Maniac, YET!!!!”

Pysgorn pulls out BLUEPRINTS, that reveal DETAILED instructions, for a COMPLETELY cybernetic body, for Dr. Maniac's brain, and Psygorn says: “WE have BARELY begun! MWA, HA, HA!!!!” /

(Stinger) A Gray Rat, walks into a prison on Planet Onyx. He walks up to a guard, who's guarding the place. The guard says: “What exactly are YOU, sir?!”

The Rat says: “Well, I'm NOT a regular MONSTER, sir. I just happen to be the RAT guardian, Templeton. And, I understand, you have a, Mr. Cornelius Doo, here. I'm here, because I want to make him an offer, as part of modifying his sentence, and hopefully redeeming him in the eyes of millions.”

The guard sighs, and says: “All right. We'll let you see him.”

The guard opens the door into the inner jail cells, and Templeton walks past a bunch of doors, that contain FORMER “Power Rangers” monsters, including Eye Guy, Peckster, Commander Crayfish, Pirantis Head, Bloom of Doom, the Scarlet Sentinel, and Silverhorns. Templeton walks all the way down to the last door, which reads: “19-77”. Templeton opens the door, and shines light on a VERY familiar, small, brown puppy. In a SCRAPPY voice, the little puppy says: “Yeah, what do YOU want?!”

Templeton says: “Mr. SCRAPPY Cornelius Doo, have I got a preposition for you!” /

Episode Notes: Dr. Maniac's body is FINALLY destroyed at the end of this three-parter, but if Psygorn's blueprints are any hint, this may NOT be the last we ever HEAR from Dr. Maniac! Samson, Patsy, Coop, D.O.G., and Krash'ir, are officially welcomed into the Power Rangers family as the Thunder Rangers! Alphys reveals that the only way to destroy the Dark Kaiser for good, is that the Power Rangers WILL eventually have to venture into the Nazi Realm in order to DESTROY the Dark Kaiser's fortress, once and for all! Songs included in this three-parter are “Torture, State of Shock”, and the Red Hot Chili Pepper's cover version of “Higher Ground”. Eris is officially introduced into the Multiverse with this three-parter, and Radiguet's REAL voice, is revealed to sound like Adam Driver's. Lettuce and Pinkie Pie more or less, officially make up with this episode. Bionic Gorilla makes a “Heel-Face Turn” and joins the good guys under his real name, Windsor T. Gorilla, from “My Gym Partner's a Monkey”. First time an episode has concluded with a stinger, and it involves Templeton and Scrappy-Doo from “Scooby Doo” in some way. /

Personal Notes: I really want to thank everyone who stuck with us during these long, hard, uncertain times. It hasn't been easy for us, but we wanted to continue this series for you, our wonderful fans. Whom without, writing this series would not be as fulfilling as it currently is. We write this series for you, to remind you that no matter how hard something is, it can ALWAYS be conquered in the end. I hope you enjoyed reading this episode, as much as I did writing it. Enough said, true believers! /

Sorry for the delay, but at long last, the latest episode of this show is FINALLY finished! Co-written with Renegade the Unicorn, here is the latest episode of "Power Rangers Multiverse Force", in the spoiler, to avoid the dreaded data limit lengths that have sometimes plagued this series. I hope you enjoy reading it, as much as we did writing it! /

Yes, Destiny

Captain Retro is on-screen. He narrates, and he says: “It has been roughly a month and a half since the Power Rangers Multiverse Force, teamed up with Legendary Rangers from the past, and brought Dr. Maniac's evil fortress crashing down on him, metaphorically speaking. Now, it is almost Valentines Day in the year 2179. In that time since the Power Rangers fought Dr. Maniac, BlackHawk and StarHawk have officially begun adjusting to being parents, with StarHawk learning how to be a mother to Aquila, and BlackHawk getting a job as a Camp Counselor at Camp Kidney. The new Thunder Rangers, Samson, Patsy, Coop, Krash'ir, and my older brother D.O.G., have begun to make use of their new powers, by mastering them in training sessions on the Simulation Planet, which is sure to come in handy once the Power Rangers must make their inevitable assault in the Nazi realm, which I cannot help them in. Usagi and Krash'ir, will often fight the various Youma that Queen Beryl sends after the population of Core Earth, together, proving that the family that fights evil together, stays together! Tommy went back to his own time to deal with Scorpina and Lokar, once and for all. Upon completing his mission, he announced his retirement from the “Power Rangers” squadron. The age of a new generation, having officially dawned on Core Earth. Naruto is trying as hard as ever to catch up to BlackHawk, hoping that his stubborn persistence will one day lead to him being able to become leader of the Power Rangers Multiverse Force again. After a fall-out, Lettuce and Pinkie Pie have now made up, determined to make their relationship work this time around, even without knowing all the possible pitfalls that might come ahead, they are determined to face it head-on. But FireHawk, however, still remains a mystery to me. What her motives are, or what her passion truly is, I cannot say for certain. Even MY powers of foresight cannot see into the riddle that she is. Whether her true goal turns out to be for good ends or for ill, that remains to be seen. Even though Dr. Maniac's body has been destroyed, I remain unconvinced that he is truly gone for good. It has been too quiet in the last month and a half. And Dr. Maniac's troops still remain loyal to him, and would certainly not go away without a plan to follow. I think Dr. Maniac ordered his troops to do something big for him, and that something may be revealed soon, especially since it is now OFFICIALLY Valentines Day, a perfect time for an evil plan to be put in motion.”

 

The camera pans around, to REVEAL that he's been saying all of this, to SCRAPPY-Doo! And Scrappy asks: “Why are you telling me all THIS for?!”

 

Captain Retro says: “First off, I wasn't JUST talking to you, I was talking to the GUARDIAN who has GRACIOUSLY decided to take you in as HIS avatar. Namely, the Rat Guardian, Templeton! You should realize how LUCKY you are, that Templeton took pity on you. The Dog Guardian would've left you to your OWN devices, since you've NEVER listened before, while any other Guardian—except for MAYBE Aslan if he IS somehow still around—would've LEFT you to rot in that Onyx Prison, without a modification to your sentence.”

 

Scrappy says: “First of all, whatever you MIGHT think of me, it's WRONG! I was NOT in that prison of Planet Onyx, because I did ANYTHING illegal! Onyx IS a planet FILLED with monsters and villains, lest YOU forget that important fact! I went to Planet Onyx, because I volunteered to be a test subject on an experimental rocket designed by Velma, that COULD fly 4,000 times faster than the speed of light! It was SUPPOSED to go to KO-35, but a rogue asteroid knocked it off course, and landed me on Planet Onyx, instead! Once I learned what Onyx was, I thought it would be a GREAT opportunity for ME, to show my friends back on Core Earth just how truly heroic I could be, by bringing in a BUNCH of evil criminals to justice, ALL by myself!”

 

Captain Retro nods, and he says: “Uh-huh. And how did THAT work out for you?!”

 

Scrappy sighs, and he says: “Not very well! Apparently, when you're only 2 feet 4 inches, your punches and kicks don't do diddly-squat on REAL monsters! Not to mention, they THREW me in jail only because they presented the judge with doctored photos and trumped-up charges of ME, disturbing the peace, assaulting them WITHOUT provocation, and JAYWALKING! Now, I might have done a LOT of things, but JAYWALKING was NOT one of them! They threw me in after a Kangaroo Court declared me guilty, and I had to sit in prison and stew until Templeton came to bail me out.”

 

Captain Retro says: “So, the live-action movie about the Scooby-Doo gang WASN'T completely true, then?”

 

Scrappy asks: “What do you mean?! WHAT live-action movie?!”

 

(One viewing of the 2002 “Scooby-Doo” movie later).

 

Scrappy does a spit-take, and he says: “I look and sound nothing LIKE that, those IDIOTS!!!! They took MY enthusiasm and passion for catching ghosts, and used it COMPLETELY out of context! Not to mention, the only reason I'm still short, is because of a genetic defect on my mother's side of the family, bless her heart. My sweet mother, Ruby-Doo, and all SHE had to go through, because she had to bear me out of wed-lock on her OWN, after her husband LEFT her!”

 

Captain Retro is STUNNED, and he says: “WOW! I had NO idea you WENT through that!”

Scrappy says: “That's why my mother thought it would be a GOOD idea for me to be with Scooby. She thought he would be a positive role-model in my life, as a surrogate father figure for the father I never REALLY had. And...I guess, maybe I came ON too strong. I just wanted to impress Scooby SO badly, that I never THOUGHT that I might have come across as annoying, or put myself in any danger. Maybe they just thought of me as a kind of tag-along kid, so they never BOTHERED to explain to me that any of the criminals we faced might have ACTUALLY been dangerous, not even those REAL ghosts we had to catch for Vincent Van Ghoul! Do you have ANY idea what kind of NIGHTMARES we had to face while CATCHING those ghosts?”

 

Captain Retro says: “Well...”

 

Scrappy says: “Rhetorical question, you DON'T want to know what kind of Nightmares WE had, TAKE MY WORD FOR IT! That's why I volunteered to go in that rocket after catching that 12th Ghost, I just couldn't STAND having to deal with those nightmares anymore. I guess Daphne and the others took it the wrong way, and thought I was being a selfish jerk. I wasn't TRYING to be, I was just trying to SAVE what LITTLE sanity I STILL had after all those HORRIBLE nightmares! The cartoon series BASED on our experience trying to capture the Ghosts from the Chest of Demons, were NOTHING like the 'Jolly Good Times' that were often depicted in that series!”

 

Captain Retro says: “Well, to be FAIR, television guidelines were a LOT stricter back then. They could probably make the REAL deal on Netflix now. Of course, if what you're saying is any indication, what YOU really experienced would be more suitable for an 'After the End/What-If?' Comic-book series like, Scooby-Doo Apocalypse.”

 

Scrappy asks: “They MADE a 'What-If' comic-book series called Scooby-Doo Apocalypse? MAN! You disappear into a worm-hole, find out that while only FIVE minutes passed for you, 193 years passed for everyone else, and the WHOLE world went nuts!”

 

Captain Retro says: “Anyways, the reason I'm explaining this to you, is to catch you up to speed with what the Power Rangers have been up to. And since I CAN'T go into the Nazi Realm, and YOU have a Guardian who CAN, I think you would be an ideal candidate to help the Power Rangers out in that realm. It would be, good practice for you, should you ever prove qualified enough to someday, maybe even take MY place as Dog Guardian!”

 

Scrappy asks: “Why would I need to take YOUR place?! You have amazing powers, I don't!”

 

Captain Retro says: “The times are changing. Power Rangers don't live forever, even WITHOUT occasionally getting killed. Even the avatar of a guardian can only last as long as their will can hold out. Besides, I don't WANT to do this by LIVING forever, I would be a fool and a cheat to try. Besides, I've got a girlfriend that I've fallen in love with. And I don't want to fall into a May-December Romance, where she grows old and dies without me, while I remain young. That's why I want to be able to 'Pass the Torch' myself someday, so I can live an HONEST life with her. She deserves that, from me.”

 

Scrappy says: “I'll do my best, Captain Retro. That's both ME, and Templeton talking. But if that live-action movie is any indication, I don't exactly HAVE the best reputation on Core Earth.”

 

Captain Retro says: “That movie was a LONG time ago. Time...often heals a lot of wounds, Scrappy-Doo, even the ones that you CAN'T see on the inside. My older brother can show you the ropes on how to be a TRUE hero, and teach you how to do heroics, the right way!”

 

Scrappy says: “So, you're sending me to learn how to be a true hero, with your older brother, D.O.G.–STILL can't believe THAT'S his real name—and hopefully, be redeemed in the eyes of millions! Tell me, is your older brother anything LIKE you; is he good?”

 

Captain Retro says: “Oh, he's very good, but kind of a 'Cloud-Cuckoolander', and DON'T tell him I said that. Heroes come in all shapes and sizes, but I think he will be good for you. He has an AMAZING amount of patience, and is FIERCELY loyal to anyone he considers his friends.”

 

Scrappy says: “Well, if your brother means THAT much to you, I'll certainly do my best to live up to both YOUR, and your older brother's expectations!”

 

Captain Retro says: “That's certainly good to hear!”

 

Captain Retro pushes a button on his communicator, and says: “Omnus, he's been given the orientation. He's ready to be warped.”

 

Omnus says: “Acknowledged. Activating the warp system for Mr. Scrappy Cornelius Doo.”

And Scrappy is warped from Captain Retro's Pocket Dimension, to the Command Center on Core Earth. Captain Retro says: “Good luck, Scrappy-Doo.” /

 

Meanwhile, in the Neo Empire Gear Factory, the Mecha-Clones, Mettzler, Fara, Farrah Cat, and Meison, are working under Psygorn's instructions, to finish a project that they have been hard at work on for quite a while now!

 

Psygorn says: “You Mecha-Clones, let's show a little initiative! And you Farrah Cat, GET your rear in gear! Put your WEAK backs into it!”

 

Meison says: “Yeah, I had a weak back, about a WEEK back!”

 

Mettzler says: “Hey, temporary boss! Construction is completed!”

 

Fara says: “Yeah, when's lunch?”

 

Psygorn says: “Soon. It's time to play the instructions that Dr. Maniac has left for us one last time, before we begin the integration process.”

 

And Psygorn slips a D.V.D., into a Disc player, titled, “Dr. Maniac's Super Secret Plan!”

The Disc begins playing, and Dr. Maniac's old, human appearance graces the screen. He says: “Greetings fellow minions, those who have LOYALLY remained! I trust the construction process has been completed based on MY genius blueprints, and NO short-cuts were taken, that means YOU, Psygorn! The time has come to COMPLETE the integration process, so if you ARE watching this, than my old human body IS permanently deceased! It is time to COMPLETE my transition, and become the machine I was ALWAYS meant to be! It's time to put the 'Neo', into Neo Empire Gear! Psygorn, place the brain!”

 

Psygorn grabs Dr. Maniac's brain, now safely encased in a jar with a weird, liquid gel surrounding his brain, and Psygorn says: “You've got it, boss!"

 

Psygorn places the brain in the jar, into a COMPLETELY metallic body, and slams the HEAD lid on it, TIGHT, with metallic, silver hair over the head! On the Disc, Dr. Maniac says: “Supply the initializing ingredient, the most POWERFUL machine fuel, EVER invented by men!”

 

Mettzler says: “On it!”

 

And Mettzler, grabs a hose, and pumps it into a machine chest cavity. The hose, is pumping from a TANK load of liquid, and the liquid container says: “Mulan Szechuan McNugget Sauce!”

Mettzler says: “It's full!”

 

On the Disc, Dr. Maniac says: “Close the chest cavity!”

 

And the chest cavity is slammed shut, revealing a Titanium-Steel Alloy body, covered with the clothes that Dr. Maniac wore while as a human. On the Disc, Dr. Maniac says: “Now, turn the electricity conductor to 2,000 WATTS! Give my NEW body LIFE! LIFE, I tell you, LIFE!!!!”

Meison turns on the electricity conductor. It SURGES through the metallic body, bringing it on-line, and JOLTING it to a sitting position! The metallic body suddenly SPEAKS, in UNISON with the Dr. Maniac disc, with Dr. Maniac's VOICE, now sounding more metallic than before, and the metallic robot says with his former human self: “I have transcended DEATH! Dr. Maniac now LIVES, and WALKS again! I feel so GOOD, I can CONQUER a planet! And best of all, NOBODY, not even RADIGUET can get in my way, THIS time! ALL will bow before me!”

 

The disc stops playing, and the robot says: “Say hello to NEO Dr. Maniac! New and improved, you might say! With fire-power and strength my former human self could only DREAM of! Mettzler, what is the status of Queen Beryl, and her quest to revive Queen Metallia?”

 

Mettzler says: “Well, boss, her progress has been slow, but she has been hard at work on it. Our secret computer link to HER inner system, let's us monitor EVERYTHING they are doing, with them being NONE the wiser for it! Our scanners indicate, that they've gathered 20% of the energy that they need to revive Queen Metallia. Furthermore, we have reason to believe, that the Power Rangers will mount an assault on the Nazi realm, sometime in the future. If we can gather up ALL the Nazi weapons in the Nazi realm, modify and IMPROVE upon them, as WELL as pulling a 'Grand Theft Me' ON Queen Metallia once she IS revived as YOU plan to do, taking on Radiguet, even WITH Chaos God Powers, shall prove to be a Cake Walk for YOU, Neo Dr. Maniac!”

 

Neo Dr. Maniac coldly says: “Excellent! Most excellent, indeed! What FOOLS those mortals be! They shall RUE the day they EVER thought they COULD destroy NEO Dr. Maniac! MWA, HA, HA! MWA, HA, HA, HA, HA! MWA, HA, HA! MWA, HA, HA, HA, HA!!!!” /

 

Meanwhile, in a Lounge Bar, Lettuce is dressed up in an Elvis wig and jumpsuit, holding a microphone, and singing. Oddly enough, he's singing the Weird Al Yankovic song, “One More Minute”! /

 

Lettuce sings: “Ah, ah, ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. Well, I heard that you're leaving. (Leaving) Gonna leave me far behind. (So far behind) Cause you found a brand new lover. You decided that I'm not your kind. So I pulled (I pulled) your name out (name out) of my Rolodex. And I tore all your pictures in two. And I burned down the malt shop where we used to go, just because it reminds me of you! (Dippity dippity doo) That's right (that's right), you ain't gonna see me crying. I'm glad (I'm glad) that you found somebody new. Cause I'd rather spend eternity eating shards of broken glass, than spend one more minute with you. I guess I might seem kinda bitter. You got me feeling down in the dumps. Cause I'm stranded all alone in the gas station of love, and I have to use the self-service pumps! Oh, so honey, let me help you with that suitcase! You ain't (you ain't) gonna break my heart in two. 'Cause I'd rather get a hundred thousand paper cuts on my face, than spend one more minute with you. I'd rather rip out my intestines with a fork, than watch you going out with other men. I'd rather slam my flippers in a door, again and again and again and again and again! Oh, can't you see what I'm trying to say, Darling...I'd rather have my blood sucked out by leeches. (Leeches) Shove an icepick under a toenail or two. I'd rather clean all the bathroom in Grand Central Station with my tongue, than spend one more minute with you. Yes, I'd rather jump naked on a huge pile of thumbtacks! Or stick my nostrils together with crazy glue. I'd rather dive into a swimming pool filled with double-edged razor blades, than spend one more minute with you! I'd rather rip my heart out of my ribcage with my bare flippers, and then throw it on the floor and stomp on it 'till I die! (Gasps!) Than spend one more minute with you.” /

 

The song ends, and Lettuce hears scattered applause, notably, from Toby and Ebony (who Lettuce doesn't REALLY recognize), and Bash Buzzard and Smash Swallow. Bash Buzzard says: “Interesting song choice, Smash. Why did you pick it?”

 

Smash sighs, and says: “I feel depressed. Not only has our search for the secret identities of the Power Rangers turned up NOTHING of interest in the last few months, but my relationship with Pinkie Pie is officially over!”

 

Ebony asks: “Who's Pinkie Pie?”

 

Smash says: “Only the most interesting girl in the world. She BROKE my heart, than chewed it up, than spit it out, than stepped on it, than threw it down a sewer, called it names, and then LAUGHED!”

 

Toby says: “First of all, Pinkie is NOT the most interesting girl in the world, Ebony is. Second of all, I don't think you're SUPPOSED to find out the secret identities of the Power Rangers. If you WERE, it would be a LOT easier to do so!”

 

Ebony says: “Might be cool, though. If you KNEW who the Power Rangers were, imagine what being friends with THEM would be like!”

 

Lettuce says: “Well, you'll have to imagine without me, my shift is over. And while I feel sorry for your loss, Smash, I have a date, with MY girlfriend, I have decided that the time has come to OFFICIALLY announce my feelings for her! She IS the one for me! I'm going to follow my heart, and say, 'Yes, Destiny'. I'm going to marry her. Today is going to be the HAPPIEST day of our lives...so far!”

 

And Lettuce leaves the building. Smash says: “This is the SADDEST day of my life!”

 

Toby asks: “Why? I mean, you seem like a decent enough guy. Who would Pinkie Pie rather be with, if NOT with you?”

 

Bash Buzzard says: “The SAME guy who just sung that song, Lettuce Manchot! If that wasn't bad enough, he sometimes fancies himself as a Private/Penguin Investigator! What's he GOT that Smash hasn't got?!”

 

Ebony says: “Well, money AND good looks...for a penguin. But I don't think dating someone BIRD like would work out well for me. That's why I'm with Toby, he likes me for the girl I am!”

 

Smash says: “Lucky! And Toby, what's YOUR secret?! How did YOU snag a girl, like Ebony?!”

 

Toby says: “First of all, 'Snag', is not the word I would use for ANYTHING, not even for obtaining Pokemon, about 444 of them from four generations worth of adventures that I treat ALL with the loving respect and care that they all deserve. I know it's cliché, but with great power, DOES come great responsibility, and that's something that I don't want to take lightly. Second, I'm not sure why, but the first thing we BOTH remember, is falling out of some kind of a worm-hole together. We started talking, we got to know each other for the past month or so, and we found out that we have a healthy relationship with each other. If you want to find someone of your own, I'm afraid it takes time. You need someone you have a healthy amount of things in common with, someone you can cherish and care for, and someone who KNOWS that you might have your own quirks, but will STILL like you, because they know that you ARE good at heart, and are willing to LEARN from any unintentional mistakes that you might make, because you are WILLING to be good to your soul-mate, no matter WHAT kinds of things that life may throw at you!”

 

Smash Swallow says: “A soul-mate. Say, Bash, do you think you and I–?”

 

Bash immediately says: “No.”

 

Smash chuckles, and he says: “That's actually, pretty funny.” /

 

Meanwhile, outside of the lounge, Lettuce packs up his performance gear, and gets out a BIG, impressive GOLD Ring, with the words, “Love you forever, Pinkie”, engraved in the ring. Lettuce says: “It's perfect, she'll LOVE it!” (Beep! Beep! Ba-Beep! Beep! Beep!)

Lettuce says: “Duty calls. A Ranger's work is never done.”

 

Lettuce answers the communicator and says: “Yes, Omnus, what is it?”

 

Omnus says: “Rangers, warp to the Command Center at once! The Rat Guardian has chosen a new avatar, and he wants you all to meet him!”

 

Lettuce says: “Right! We're on our way!”

 

And Lettuce warps to the Command Center. The other Power Rangers, AND the Thunder Rangers arrive soon after Lettuce does! Lettuce says: "Samson! You guys came to?!"

 

Samson says: "Of course! If we're going to be real Power Rangers like the rest of you, than we need to stay on the same page, don't we?"

 

Krash'ir says: "Obviously, I think that should go without saying."

 

Omnus says: "Rangers, I'm so glad you could come. Even though the last month and a half has been relatively quiet, save for the occasional attack by one of Queen Beryl's Youma creatures, I feel that today will be a momentous occasion for all of us!"

 

Lettuce says: "Oh, it will be! For more reasons than ONE!"

 

Omnus says: "Anyways, the Rat Guardian, Templeton, has decided that the time has come for him to take on a new avatar body. And while normally, he would take on the body of another rat; this time, he has decided to take on the body of something different. Templeton is doing this, in order to help his avatar body gain some redemption, and become a TRUE hero, hopefully in the eyes of millions! Say hello to Templeton's NEW avatar..."

 

And a white light materializes in the Command Center, and dissipates to reveal a FAMILIAR small, brown dog. Omnus finishes: "Scrappy Cornelius Doo!"

 

FireHawk says: "You FREAK!!!!"

 

And she TRIES to fire one of her fire attacks at him, but Queen Hedrian stops it COLD with her Magic Wand! Queen Hedrian says: "What are you TRYING to do, BURN this place down?! I have worked REALLY hard to get this place CLEANED for Scrappy-Doo's introduction!"

 

Windsor Gorilla appears, and he says: "And I would be really disappointed if anything were to happen to this place, seeing as it has become my temporary home, unless Omnus can find somewhere else where I can reside."

 

FireHawk says: "Scrappy-Doo is a Grade-A JERK!!!! He HAS to GO!!!!"

 

Samson says: "Isn't that the kettle calling the pot black? Or...something, like that?"

 

FireHawk says: "What is THAT supposed to mean?!"

 

Patsy says: "Well, you're not EXACTLY the most social and outgoing among us."

 

FireHawk says: "Oh, and I suppose that YOU are considered Miss Congeniality at Camp Kidney, or Acorn Flats, or, WHEREVER it is that you come from?!"

 

Patsy says: "Well, of course! I'm the most ATHLETIC girl at Acorn Flats, AND the most attractive, and I never ONCE got attracted to a pair of DUNG beetles like my good friend Nina, once did!"

 

FireHawk says: "Well if you're SO attractive, than tell me WHY Samson isn't head over heels in LOVE with you?!"

 

Samson says: "Because I already HAVE a girlfriend!"

 

Patsy scoffs, and she says: "As if! Who would be your girlfriend if NOT me?!"

 

Samson says: "A fellow Squirrel Scout of yours named Almondine. And for YOUR information, beauty is NOT the most important quality I look for in a girl. I prefer a woman who has brains and a nice personality. Almondine fits those qualities like a glove."

 

Patsy says: "I could fit those qualities like a glove!"

 

Samson says: "With YOUR track record of beating Bean Scouts up, just so you don't disappoint your daddy? I highly doubt that!"

 

Naruto says: "At least you HAVE a girlfriend, Samson! Even I don't really have that luxury!"

 

Usagi asks: "What are you talking about?"

 

Naruto says: "HELLO!!!! Being in a long-distance relationship SUCKS! And everyone ELSE here has a significant other EXCEPT for me! Usagi and Krash'ir are in a relationship, Lettuce and Pinkie have repaired THEIR relationship,  BlackHawk and StarHawk are great in THEIR relationship, Samson is in a relationship, even COOP has a relationship! Patsy, FireHawk, and D.O.G., have...well, I don't KNOW if they have a relationship, unless ONE of them has a date with 'Rosie Palms'."

 

StarHawk asks: "BlackHawk, who is this 'Rosie Palms'?"

 

BlackHawk says: "THAT, you don't want to know. TAKE my WORD for it!"

 

Naruto says: "And YOU think you're SO great, aren't you?! You and your STUPID new powers! Ever since you got the power of the Gold Ranger, you've been SHOWING it off every single chance you GOT! If I had new powers, than Omnus would SEE how truly great I am, and put me BACK as leader of this team!"

 

Coop says: "Look, if you're SO upset by BlackHawk currently being stronger than you, than why don't you get some therapy like BlackHawk did AFTER his forced servitude with the Night Master, and talk things over with a therapist?"

 

Naruto says: "Look! Trying to be BETTER than BlackHawk is my ONLY defining characteristic trait on this WHOLE stupid team! Now, it is a STUPID characteristic, but I'M GOING TO USE IT!"

 

Alpha 8 says: "Look, can we PLEASE get back to the REAL reason why we're here?! Omnus is waiting to tell us the reason WHY Scrappy-Doo is here!"

 

Naruto groans, and says: "FINE! I'll deal with this problem later, NOT that it would be any NEW information to anyone here!"

 

Omnus says: "Anyways, the reason why Templeton has chosen Scrappy-Doo to be his avatar, is for two reasons. The biggest reason of course, is to help Scrappy-Doo redeem himself in the eyes of MILLIONS, and hopefully become a TRUE hero!"

 

FireHawk mutters under her breath: "Fat chance of THAT happening!"

 

Scrappy-Doo says: "I HEARD THAT!!!!"

 

D.O.G., says: "IGNORE HER!!!!"

 

Omnus says: "Noted, moving on. The second reason Templeton has chosen Scrappy-Doo to be his new avatar, is because as you know, Captain Retro can't and isn't allowed to protect you in the Nazi realm, but Templeton CAN enter that realm, and ANY avatar he is currently using. Therefore, Captain Retro has agreed with me, that he should stay with D.O.G., and Coop, seeing as how BlackHawk and StarHawk have now moved out and gotten a place of their own."

 

BlackHawk says: "Well, we had to. We have a child of our OWN to raise, lest you FORGET that important fact! Speaking of, I wonder how Sans and Papyrus are DOING with our infant daughter right now?"

 

(Gilligan Cut!) Sans is looking absolutely MISERABLE, as he is ROCKING the infant Aquila in his arms, trying to get her to fall asleep, while Papyrus is trying to multi-task with cleaning BlackHawk's new apartment building area, and making a new smoothie for Aquila. Sans says: "Oh, why do WE always get STUCK with these babysitting jobs?!"

 

Papyrus says: "Because YOU never complain, Sans! Besides, it's the closest WE'RE probably ever going to get, to experiencing the joys of raising a child ourselves!"

 

Sans sarcastically says: "Ho, ho, very funny. Ha, ha. It IS to LAUGH!!!!"

 

(PLOP!!!!) Sans shouts: "Are YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!!!"

 

(Cuts back to the Command Center) Omnus says: "In any case, D.O.G., and Coop, you ARE willing to take Scrappy-Doo in, and teach him EVERYTHING he needs to know about being a TRUE hero, aren't you?"

 

Coop says: "Of course! We WILL have to get permission from my parents first, but I'm sure they'll go for it. After all, now that BlackHawk's old room is empty, Abby could use something to keep her mind off of having empty nest syndrome, even though it's STILL going to be at LEAST five and a half years before I can even THINK about finding my OWN place!"

 

Scrappy-Doo says: "Coop, you ROCK! FireHawk, you DON'T!!!!"

 

FireHawk screams: "OH, SHUT UP!!!!"

 

Patsy seriously says: "FireHawk, DON'T make me HURT you."

 

FireHawk screams: "You and WHAT ARMY?!!!"

 

Patsy seriously says: "You don't really want me to ANSWER that one, DO you?"

 

Omnus says: "Anyways, today is OFFICIALLY Valentines Day, so Queen Beryl is BOUND to send a Youma of one kind or another, in order to gather up energy for Queen Metalia. It's not an ideal situation to think about, but heaven knows that if we DON'T stop the Youma, Queen Beryl would ONLY gather up the energy FASTER! So, the LONGER we can DELAY her process, the better shape you guys will be in. The Thunder Rangers should be fully trained by then. Speaking of, does anyone already HAVE any plans for today?"

 

Lettuce says: "As a matter of fact, I do. Pinkamena 'Pinkie' Pie, today, I am going to take you on the most ROMANTIC day of your dreams, and I have a SURPRISE planned for you later!"

Pinkie says: "I LIKE surprises! Especially the romantic kind!"

 

FireHawk mutters: "Can't wait to see what THEIR kids end up looking like!"

 

Samson says: "You WISH you had someone of your OWN to love like that!"

 

FireHawk says: "And be THAT diabetic?! Everyone has STANDARDS, Samson; I'm just telling it like it is! If you don't like it, TOO bad for you!"

 

Patsy says: "Even so, you DON'T have to be so ABRASIVE about it!"

 

Samson says: "Patsy, I think that might ACTUALLY be the first thing you've said that I've ever agreed with."

 

Patsy says: "Oh, an AGREEMENT! We're making PROGRESS!"

 

Samson says: "You're still not my type."

 

Patsy says: "YET!"

 

Samson says: "You ONLY want me because I now have MUSCLES in addition to my brains. Before BlackHawk trained me, you wouldn't have even given ME the time of DAY!"

 

Patsy says: "I did ONCE!"

 

Samson scoffs, and says: "YEAH! When you thought I was a MOVIE star named Hanly Manster that one time!"

 

Patsy says: "Which I have PROFUSELY apologized for about a MILLION times! ONE mistake, and I'M paying for it for the REST of my life!"

 

FireHawk says: "I could say the same thing about NARUTO'S parents!"

 

Naruto says: "BITE ME!!!!"

 

FireHawk says: "In your DREAMS, you FREAKY Casanova WANNABE!"

 

Naruto says: "Are you saying that I'm PERVERTED?!!!"

 

FireHawk says: "Of course not, for a guy who watches the movie Fritz the Cat every single chance he can get!"

 

Windsor says: "BURN!!!! Sorry, but you got to admit, that WAS actually pretty funny!"

 

Naruto says: "For some people and/or creatures, it WOULD be! But, seeing how we have to work together on a team, I'll let it go, for now."

 

Lettuce says: "Anyways, Pinkie and I have a schedule to maintain, and I will not have my schedule interrupted. I trust everyone else can manage without us?"

 

Queen Hedrian says: "Why do you think the Magi-Mother wanted us to find candidates who could and would use the Thunder Morphers? Specifically for this kind of scenario! And don't worry, we'll call you both ONLY as a LAST resort!"

 

Lettuce says: "Thank you, I REALLY appreciate that! Come along, Pinkie! It's time to begin our day of fun, and LOVE!"

 

Pinkie says: "I'm excited already!"

 

And the two of them warp to the local amusement park! Coop says: "It's time for us, to go, to. Come along, Scrappy-Doo, D.O.G., and I, have to introduce you to my parents."

 

Scrappy-Doo says: "Do you think your mom will LIKE me?"

 

Coop says: "If ANYONE would understand what YOU have gone through, it's my mother. But don't ask HER about it, she'll tell you when she FEELS like she can trust you WITHOUT you being judgmental about it! She's understandably STILL a little sensitive about what SHE had to go through. And quite frankly, I can't blame her."

 

Scrappy-Doo says: "Fair enough. Let's go!"

 

And Coop, Scrappy-Doo, and D.O.G., warp to Coop's mansion! BlackHawk says: "And Samson, Patsy, and I better get going as well! I've got my job at Camp Kidney to get to!"

 

FireHawk says: "You only TOOK that job because it allows you to be NAKED; like, ALL the TIME!!!!"

 

BlackHawk says: "It's not like we DO anything PERVERTED there, it's not ALLOWED! Camp Kidney is STRICTLY only for those who are MATURE enough, and LAWFUL enough, to handle the PRIVILEDGE of going there! Camp Kidney takes any and ALL allegations of misconduct VERY seriously, and will hook up ANYONE to a Lie Detector test. And if ANYBODY is FOUND lying about ANYTHING regarding an allegation, OR did anything immoral or illegal, they're BANNED from Camp Kidney, and Camp Kidney will SEND the ban status to any and ALL Nudist Resorts on Core Earth! In other words, we wouldn't want YOU to be there, even if YOU wanted to be there!"

 

FireHawk says: "Lucky for YOU, even if I could and/or WANTED to go there, I wouldn't! I'm not a big fan of sausages and bananas, IF you know what I mean!"

 

Naruto claps sarcastically, and says: "Congratulations, you just reached the maturity level of a third grader!"

 

FireHawk says: "You WISH you were as interesting as I am! Of course, you'd probably wish you could make it WITH Usagi, and DON'T try to DENY it! If she WASN'T with Krash'ir AND a Lesbian, you'd be ALL over her!"

 

Naruto says: "I hope you don't expect ME to dignify that with an actual response!"

 

BlackHawk says: "Remind me, StarHawk, WHY do you put up with HER again, and DON'T say it's because she's your sister, AGAIN!"

 

StarHawk says: "Come on! It's not like I WAS going to say that--well, actually, it WAS pretty MUCH THAT!"

 

Windsor says: "It's times like this that make me GLAD I'm an ONLY child! No offense, Queen Hedrian."

 

Queen Hedrian says: "No, I'd agree with YOU if I could! I could be the Magi-Mother if I had to! STUPID older sister, always has to be better than ME at EVERYTHING, that grumble, grumble."

 

BlackHawk says: "Anyways, I would LOVE to stay and hear some MORE colorful insults from FireHawk, is what I WOULD say, if that were even REMOTELY the truth! But, duty calls! Come Samson and Patsy!"

 

And they warp to Camp Kidney! Alpha Eight sighs, and says: "Well, don't the REST of you have places to be?"

 

Usagi says: "Yes, Krash'ir and I have to get back to Sally Anne! Toriel is expecting us! Come along, Krash'ir!"

 

Krash'ir says: "Yes, my darling!"

 

And they warp back home! StarHawk says: "And I need to warp back home as well, Sans and Papyrus should be EXHAUSTED by now!"

 

And StarHawk warps back home as well! FireHawk says: "Too bad YOU don't have a home to warp back to, Naruto! And even IF you did, I wouldn't CARE!"

 

Naruto says: "You know, I wish that for ONCE, you'd actually CARE to learn SOMETHING about me!"

 

FireHawk says: "I WOULD if you ever actually DID anything INTERESTING besides those STUPID Youtube POOP videos. But, you haven't, so I won't! Later, loser!"

 

And FireHawk warps away! Naruto groans, and yells: "OMNUS!!!! Set the Simulation Planet for Level ELEVEN!!!!"

 

Alpha Eight says: "But all the way to ELEVEN has RADIGUET on it! Don't you think--."

 

Naruto screams: "NOW!!!!"

 

Alpha Eight says: "All right! Sheesh! What a GROUCH!" /

 

Naruto finds himself in a desolate and ruined Coastal Falls, resembling something more out of "Mad Max" or "Escape from New York" than it does the city he calls his home. The sky is dark with streaks of color: red, green, purple...yet also grey. All around him, Naruto sees countless dead, but what shocks him the most are the bodies of his fellow Rangers, their helmets dusty and cracked. In the distance, he can see...something: Radiguet. But it doesn't even resemble Radiguet anymore, now he resembles something out of HP Lovecraft's worst nightmare - a many tentacled beast with six faces; those of the Chaos Gods, as well as the Renegade God Malal (also called Malice, or "Misery" by Radiguet) and Radiguet's own in the very center. Naruto observes that the Chaos Gods' powers were too much for Radiguet to handle, so they consumed his soul, and then they were in turn consumed by Malal, becoming a singular horrifying Chaos Spawn. Its only desire was hunger. And it would feed on everyone still remaining in Coastal Falls and Core Earth-no, the entire multiverse-if not stopped. With determination in his soul, Naruto morphs into his Ranger form before summoning his Power Weapon and charging at the Chaos Radiguet. He doesn't get too far before being stopped by..another Ranger? This one is in gold and white armor, its body shape informing Naruto just who this Last Ranger is: BlackHawk. Instead of being happy at the sight of the Simulation BlackHawk, Naruto is BEYOND ANGRY! "What do you want, BlackHawk!?"

 

 The Simulation BlackHawk removes his helmet; he's scarred on his cheeks, and he's missing an eye. The Simulation BlackHawk says: "I'm TRYING to SAVE YOUR LIFE, THAT'S WHAT!" Lowering his voice, he says: "I'm glad to see you're alive, Naruto. Now stay close to me, and we won't die as quickly."

 

 Naruto whispers back: "You're really expecting to kill that...THING all by yourself?"

 

 The Simulation BlackHawk rolls his eyes: "Is this REALLY the time to keep holding your grudge against me? Anyways, I'm not expecting to kill off Radiguet all by myself. I only want to hold him off as long as I can before he devours all of existence. The both of us are likely to die trying, but if we do, he'll just have the Crimson King to deal with once the entire physical multiverse is eaten." Both of them feel uneasy at the mention of the King, and shudder.

 

 Naruto says: "Now that's a battle I don't want to think about!"

 

 The Simulation BlackHawk says: "Good. Now get ready!" And the both of them arm themselves; Naruto with the Fire Blade, and BlackHawk with Saba. They charge forth, slaughtering through hordes of less powerful (when compared to Radiguet) Chaos Spawn, and when they're done, they are at the foot of Radiguet, the now-mindless Emperor not even noticing them. The Simulation BlackHawk turns to Naruto and salutes. He says: "It's been an honor Naruto." And with that, he begins muttering the Gunslinger's Creed: "I do not aim with my hand. He who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I aim with my eye. I do not shoot with my hand. He who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I shoot with my mind. I do not kill with my gun. He who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father. I kill with my heart." But just as BlackHawk is about to strike Radiguet, Naruto remembers his anger, and it overcomes him. He snaps the Simulation BlackHawk's neck, killing him instantly. From above him, Naruto hears Omnus.

 

Omnus says: "Alpha, turn off the simulation. I think we have seen enough." Naruto falls onto the floor, grunting and almost grinding his teeth in rage. Omnus looks at him, disappointed .

 

Omnus says: "I expected better of you, Naruto."

 

 Naruto says, through gritted teeth: "Of course you do. I'm a Ranger."

 

 Omnus, sternly, replies: "Not anymore you're not." Naruto, deep down, understands why, but he still acts shocked.

 

Naruto says: "WHAT!? YOU CAN'T! BEING A RANGER IS MY EVERYTHING!"

 

 "And that," Omnus says, "is where your problem lies. You are so concerned about being a Power Ranger and nothing else, you are blind to your own arrogance and ego. There is nothing wrong with being proud, but when it consumes you and turns into hubris, then it becomes a problem." Omnus turns to Naruto with his hand out. Realizing there is no winning this, Naruto hands his morpher in. "Until you are once again proven worthy of the power of the Morphing Grid, you can no longer be allowed into the Command Center. I am sorry, Naruto." Without saying a word, Naruto leaves.

 

Windsor, watching him leave, observes: "I wish I could give him my usual pearls of wisdom, like I have to my friends in middle school. But part of growing up means you have to figure things out on your own. Life won't always give you easy answers."

 

 Alpha nods and agrees. "Far too true." /

 

Meanwhile, in Queen Beryl's fortress, there are only three people within it: herself, Ahzek Ahriman, and the youma Abbaddon. Queen Beryl has decided that Kunzite and Zoisite, being lovers themselves, deserve a day to themselves; so they've both treated themselves to a movie, lunch at Bucca di Beppo, and some self-care at a spa. Abbaddon, having nothing better to do, is outside Beryl's throne room, standing guard. So that leaves only Beryl and Ahzek. And yet, Beryl is watching all the happy lovers in Coastal Falls spend a happy Valentine's Day together, feeling QUITE unhappy herself!

 

Beryl says: "I HATE VALENTINE'S DAY! I HATE HOW HAPPY EVERYONE IS! EVERYONE EXCEPT FOR ME!"

 

 Letting out a sigh, Ahzek puts down his spellbook, and looks at Beryl. Ahzek says: "Do you really mean this, my queen? Because I think there's something more to this. You don't seem much like the 'petty evil' type like all the other villains the Rangers have faced."

 

 Beryl looks at Ahzek and with a sigh, she says: "You don't know much about me, do you?"

 

 Ahzek says: "In spite of all the passionate lovemaking we have done? I have to admit I don't."

 

Beryl rolls her eyes and says: "I sold my soul to Metalia because I was scorned by Prince Endymion thousands of years ago. Then Sailor Moon defeated me the first time. And now that I have found that I too am romantically attracted to her, I just can't help but be jealous of her marriage to that Bloodthirster Kra'shir."

 

 Ahzek nods in understanding, and he says: "Ah. You're envious, aren't you?"

 

 Beryl nods, and she says: "If I cannot be happy with Usagi, then she nor anyone else can be today. Ahzek, I wish to create a youma. One that'll not only absorb love energy, but cast binding romance spells on whoever it chooses, so more energy can be absorbed!"

 

 Ahzek sighs, and he gets his materials ready, muttering: "I don't get paid enough for this."

 

 Beryl snaps back, her tone calm yet with a hint of venom: "I don't pay you at all." /

 

 Meanwhile at Bucca di Beppo, Kunzite and Zoisite are enjoying lunch before they go see the movie. Kunzite is eating spaghetti and meatballs, and Zoisite is eating two calzones. Suddenly, Zoisite tenses up, his eyes having a thousand yard stare. He says: "Kunzite, I sense a disturbance in the Force."

 

 Kunzite, about to stuff a rather large meatball into his mouth, stops and asks his boyfriend worriedly: "What is it, Kunzite? Is something wrong? Does Queen Beryl need our help?"

 

 Zoisite says: "No, no. I feel that she's probably doing something risky and is gonna regret it later."

 

 Kunzite nods and says: "I'm sure she's well-aware of what she's doing. Besides, Beryl gave us the day off. She can handle it on her own for once." Before either can say anymore, the two hear a shout of "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" from a nearby table. Kunzite puts his head in his hands and mutters: "Oh, COME ON! ANOTHER birthday!? How many times have we had to hear that stupid birthday song now!?"

 

 Zoisite counts on his fingers: "One...two...three...Eight times!"

 

 Kunzite responds by slamming his face into his spaghetti and screaming, although it's muffled and given an almost gurgling effect by the marinara sauce! /

 

Back in Coastal Falls, Naruto is walking around downtown, dejected yet trying to at least see something positive in all this. As he muses on his current situation, Naruto, like Beryl, sees all the other happy couples in Coastal Falls; they aren't exactly helping his mood. Who should he see next, then, but Toby and Ebony? Toby's currently riding his bike slowly and carefully, with a tipsy Ebony behind him and holding on around his waist. Toby is saying to Ebony: "How many times have we had this conversation, Ebony? Pace yourself when you're drinking! That's why they say 'drink responsibly'!"

 

 Ebony, who can't seem to hold her liquor well, seems on the verge of crying and is obviously suffering from a headache. Ebony says: "I know, I'm sorry. It's just...when you're in a lounge bar, sooner or later, you're gonna have more than a few shots of Jack Daniels!'

 

Toby retorts: "Then why not...oh, nevermind! Let's just get you home and into bed. I'll have Magenta brew you some coffee to get rid of that hangover." That's when the two see Naruto, and Toby shouts: "Hey! What's wrong?"

 

Naruto looks at Toby and says bitterly: "What do you care? I'm just some nobody. You have a girlfriend, and a home you need to get back to. Just leave me to wallow in my own pity."

 

 Toby looks concerned, and he stops the bike, parking it and getting off, holding an unsteady Ebony's hand. Toby says: "Look, I don't know who you are, or what's going on in your personal life right now. All I care about is helping someone in need." Toby extends his free hand, shaking Naruto's. "Toby Jones. Nice to meet you."

 

 Naruto shakes Toby's hand and says: "Naruto Uzumaki. Nice to meet you."

 

 Toby says: "So, what's bugging ya?"

 

 Naruto sighs, and thinks to himself: "Well, I guess I don't have a choice." And Naruto comes clean about being a Power Ranger, about being nearly-homeless, and about his relationship troubles. Toby can barely contain his excitement, but he keeps himself composed.

 

Toby says: "Wow, that's...that's tough. If you want, you can crash at mine and Ebony's place until you get back on your feet."

 

 Ebony interrupts; in spite of her inebriated state, she's still aware enough of her surroundings to point out something important in Toby's idea: "Maybe we ought to bring it up to Frank. He might not like the idea of some stranger taking up space. We already have 11 people in the house as it is."

 

 Toby considers it, and says: "Eh, I'm sure he won't mind. After all, the more the merrier!"

 

 Naruto asks, perplexed: "11 people? What, do you guys live in some kind of boarding house?"

 

 Toby replies: "More like a hippie commune...sorta. Come on, we'll show you. You're gonna love this place!" He and Ebony get back onto the bike, with Naruto following them. Soon, the three arrive at a rather large and spooky castle on the edge of Coastal Falls, sitting atop the mountains overlooking the floating island and complete with (somehow) a perpetual rainstorm. Toby gets off the bike and slowly approaches the door, knocking three times. The door slowly opens up to reveal a hunchbacked man with long, stringy platinum blonde hair, wearing a black cloak. says

 

He stares at Toby and Ebony and says: "You're back later than expected. Not by much, but you know the master expects punctuality."

 

 Toby sighs, and says: "I know, and I'm sorry, Riff Raff." Naruto tries to hold back his laughter, and both Toby and Riff Raff glare at him. Toby turns back to the hunchbacked man and says: " Actually, I was hoping to talk to Frank about something. " He gestures to Naruto. 

 

Riff Raff nods and says: "Come on in." He says to Naruto: " Make yourself comfortable, please. I must inform the master of your...unexpected arrival." 

 

Toby watches him leave, and looks around the castle entrance. Naruto can see it's fairly normal: a standard set of stairs, a chandelier overhead, and a velvet carpet covering everything. A pale woman, dressed in a French maid outfit with long, frizzy red hair, slides down the banister, cackling insanely. Toby says: "There you are, Magenta. Ebony's not feeling too good."

 

 Magenta rolls her eyes, and in a thick Transylvanian accent, asks: "Hangover again?"

 

 Toby nods and says: "Yup. Can you please get her something to drink for it? Maybe put her in bed so she can sleep it off?"

 

 Magenta nods and turns to Naruto: "Very well. Would you like something to drink while you wait for the master?"

 

 Naruto nods and says: "Surprise me." Magenta turns away and, dragging Ebony by the arm and scolding her like a mother or older sister would, takes a nearby elevator upwards. Naruto raises a brow, and mutters: "Wow. This feels like I tumbled down the rabbit hole into Wonderland." 

 

Toby looks at him as Magenta comes back with Naruto's drink. As Naruto slowly drinks his tea spiked with a bit of Irish coffee, Toby says: "You ain't seen nothing yet. Just wait till you meet the others." Before Naruto can say another word, he sees the nearby elevator slowly descend, and out steps a man wearing a sparkly leotard, pearl necklace, and fishnet stockings with high heels. He has his dark hair in a perm, and is wearing makeup; Naruto doesn't even react to the sight of him, but he does think he looks rather handsome, even if Naruto isn't 'into' men, he won't deny such an obvious fact.

 

Naruto says: "You must be Frank, the master."

 

 Frank, who speaks with a rather pronounced English accent, nods. Frank says: "Indeed I am." He looks Naruto over and grins. "Hello, handsome." 

 

Naruto grins back, and replies: "I could say the same thing." This only makes Frank's grin (and already large ego) grow wider.

 

Frank says: "Oh, I like YOU already! Tell me, what is your name?"

 

 Naruto says: "Naruto Uzumaki."

 

 Frank licks his lips a bit, as if savoring Naruto's words. "Naruto...a strong name for a strong young man! I am Dr. Frank N. Furter." Naruto tries not to laugh again, but Toby attempts to silence him before he can. Frank rolls his eyes and says: "Oh, come now, Toby. Let him have a laugh at my expense. You did when you and that girlfriend of yours first met me." 

 

Toby, knowing Frank is right, nods. Toby says: "Sorry."

 

 Naruto goes on to explain his situation, and when he's done, Frank says: "Such a shame you had to go through that. I'll tell you what - you are allowed to stay here, but you must live under my rules."

 

 Naruto nods in gratitude: "Thank you, Frank. I promise you that I'll try and be a good guest."

 

 Frank nods back, and replies: "I hope so." Frank gets up and leaves, but before he does, he turns to Naruto and smirks. Frank says: "And by the way, call me Frankie if you'd like." Frank blows a kiss to Naruto before going down the elevator again. 

 

Naruto stares, before turning to Toby, and asks: "Does he flirt with everyone?"

 

 Toby shrugs and says: "Pretty much, yeah."

 

 Naruto asks: "Doesn't it get uncomfortable sometimes?"

 

 Toby mulls it over for a minute and says: "Frank can come off too STRONG a lot of the time, but uncomfortable? Not really."

 

 Naruto decides to not push the question further, and asks: "So, wanna show me around?" 

 

 Toby says: "Sure." And so Toby begins his own personal tour of the castle. /

 

Back in Coastal Falls proper, everyone is still enjoying their day. At the amusement park, Kras'hir and Usagi have just gotten themselves some cotton candy, while Lettuce and Pinkie are currently getting off of a roller coaster. Lettuce, a bit dizzy but otherwise fine, says: "You know, it's been a really fun day, but you know what'd make it better?"

 

 Hopefully, Pinkie asks: "What's that?" 

 

And Lettuce slowly pulls out the engagement ring, and he begins: "Pinkie Pie, will you-" but before Lettuce can finish, he sees what looks like a massive, bright pink female ladybug, along with several smaller youma surrounding it. "-get down!" And Lettuce drags Pinkie to a spot where they can't easily be seen by Love Bug. Pulling out his communicator, Lettuce says: "Omnus, one of Queen Beryl's youma is at the amusement park! What do we do?"

 

From the other end, Omnus says: "Do not worry. The Thunder Rangers should be able to handle this, but I advise you and the others to be on standby just in case."

 

 Lettuce nods, and watches Love Bug closely as it begins attacking the parkgoers, firing love beams every which way, causing various pairings, whether they be straight, gay, or bisexual to start making out (and in some cases, to forgo even that and just start going each other like animals). Usagi nearly avoids getting hit by a beam as Kras'hir gets her to cover.

 

Kras'hir pulls out her sword, and says, "I'll distract it while I wait for the other Thunder Rangers! Just stay down, all of you!" And Kras'hir charges at Love Bug, screaming: "LORD KHORNE WILL HAVE YOUR SKULL, YOUMA!" 

 

 Meanwhile, the other Thunder Rangers get the signal from Omnus. Samson turns to Patsy and says: "You know the drill!"

 

 Patsy says: "Right! It's Morphing Time! Pink Phoenix Thunderzord power!"

 

 Samson says: "Red Dragon Thunderzord power!"

 

 In the Littles' mansion, Coop and D.O.G. are showing Scrappy how to hold a bo staff. Coop says: "OK, holding a bo staff, while simple, requires at least a bit of practice."

 

 D.O.G. nods, and says: "Yeah, like this." And he bops Coop on the head, causing him to fall backwards! D.O.G. says: "Whoops, sorry!"

 

 Coop gets up, and says: "It's OK." But before their lesson can continue, Coop and D.O.G.'s communicators go off! (Beep beep ba ba beep beep!) Coop says: "Kras'hir, what's up?"

 

And between her grunts and screaming rather colorful swears and praises to Khorne, Kras'hir says: "No time! Amusement park, now!"

 

 Coop says: "Duty calls! Scrappy, practice hitting this bean bag chair with the bo staff while we're gone!"

 

 Scrappy says: "Got it!" And he turns to the bean bag chair and challenges it like a real opponent: "Let me at him, let me at him! I'll get you with-da da da da da duuum!-PUPPY POWER!"

 

 Coop shakes his head, and says to D.O.G: "It's Morphing Time! Green Lion Thunderzord Power!"

 

 D.O.G. says: "Yellow Kirin Thunderzord Power!" And the two teleport to the amusement park! 

 

Back at the amusement park, Kras'hir is still fighting Love Bug on her own, unmorphed, when the other Thunder Rangers arrive! Love Bug laughs and says: "Oh, how cute! You have some friends. But no matter! You will not stand in my way!"

 

 Kras'hir gets out her morpher and says: Oh yeah? Blue Pegasus Thunderzord power!" And she morphs into her Ranger form!

 

Together, the Thunder Rangers ssy: "We are the Mighty Morphin' Thunder Rangers!" Cue explosion! And so the fight begins as a hit song by Joan Armatrading begins! Joan Amatrading sings: "It may rain tomorrow, but tonight is all that's on my mind. My baby is here, in my arms; you know we've got it bad. Cause tonight we've got the love virus. We've both come down with the love bug, and it means we've got to stay in bed. I hope yous guys don't catch this, cause it knocks you right off a your legs. Love bug, talking bout love bug. I said love bug. You know I mean love bug. Let me explain the symptoms. First of all, there's hardly any pain. With the love bug, you kind of lose your memory. You see, hear, think, talk, dream, care, just for one person, only. Don't come down with the love bug, cause it drives the sense right out of your head. This thing strikes in a curious way. It only hits when you're not looking. (Instrumental section) Don't stand close to anybody who'll contaminate you. If you come down with the virus, well you'll never be alone again. Don't come down with the virus. We've both come down with the love bug, and it means we've got to stay in bed. I hope yous guys don't catch this, cause it knocks you right off a your legs. Love bug, talking bout love bug. I said love bug; you know I mean love bug. I said love bug, talking bout love bug. Yeah, love bug. You know I mean love bug. Yeah, love bug. Talking bout love bug. Yeah, love bug." And the epic song ends as Love Bug ends up incapacitating the Thunder Rangers!

 

Standing over them, Love Bug says: "And now that I have defeated you, I have you right where I want you!" And she fires a love beam at Samson and Patsy, who immediately demorph!

 

 Patsy says: "Samson, I never knew how handsome you were! And those muscles...mmmmm! So sexy!"

 

 And Samson looks into Patsy's eyes, and he says: "Patsy, excuse me for saying this, but I like your hips and thighs! And your chest too!" Patsy blushes and pulls Samson into a passionate French kiss! 

 

 Love Bug turns to Kras'hir, Coop, and D.O.G. and says: "Now, as for you three...I always DID have a fondness for triads!" And as she fires a love beam at the three of them, Kras'hir grabs the stand where Pinkie and Lettuce are hiring behind, and throws it at Love Bug, knocking the monster backwards, and the love beam onto Lettuce!

 

 Lettuce blinks and says: "...I don't feel any different. Lame!" He then notices a tamale cart and says: "I AM really hungry, though!" And he proceeds to devour all the tamales, husks included, as well as the cart! Lettuce lies down and says: "Man, that hit the spot!"

 

 Kras'hir grabs Usagi and Pinkie by the waists, and teleports to the Command Center. Kras'hir says: "Omnus, we have a...bit of a problem."

 

Alpha says: "I'll say! I mean, I've heard of free love, but this is going too far!"

 

 Kras'hir gets her communicator and says: "Coop, D.O.G.! Get Lettuce out of there, and get the others!"

 

 Both say: "On it!"

 

 Omnus sighs, and says: "This is a rather inopportune time for this, but Naruto is no longer the Red Ranger."

 

 Usagi, Pinkie, and Kras'hir all say in unison: "WHAT!?" /

 

 As all this is going on, Naruto is getting a tour of Frank N. Furter's castle by Toby; currently, he is being shown the parlor, where Sibella Dracula and Winnie Werewolf are on the couch watching TV. Both of them are significantly older than when they were last seen at Grimwood's, now being about 18 or 19. Sibella still looks the same as ever, if a tad bit curvier and wearing a sensual, slitted dress. Sibella says: "Oh, hello." Naruto can't help but find her accent attractive. Winnie, who is now wearing a plaid flannel T-shirt and ripped jeans, having outgrown bows and dresses, waves.

 

Winnie says, casually: "Hey. You the new guy?"

 

 Naruto says: "Yep! Nice to meet you both!" He walks over, and like the charmer he is, he kisses Sibella's hand. 

 

Sibella giggles, and says: "It's so nice to meet you as well. It'll be fangtastic having you around!"

 

 Naruto blinks and asks: "D-do you make puns like that all the time?"

 

 Winnie rolls her eyes and says: "Trust me, you ain't seen nothing yet. We both make tear-able, tear-able monster puns." Naruto groans, but he can't help but laugh a bit himself. Toby then shows Naruto the library, where Lydia Deetz is busy reading the complete works of Edgar Allan Poe to herself. 

 

Lydia looks up from the book and says: "Hey, Toby. Who's this?"

 

 Toby says: "This is Naruto. I think you'll like him." Toby turns to Naruto, and says: " Naruto, this is Lydia. She's really cool."

 

Naruto says: "Hey." He sits next to Lydia and peers over her shoulder and asks, "Edgar Allan Poe? Neat!"

 

Lydia giggles a bit, and replies: "Yeah, he is! I love creepy stuff."

 

 Toby mutters: "Every day is practically Halloween around here."

 

 Lydia rolls her eyes and says: "No duh! That's why I love living here!" She turns to Naruto and says: "Hey, you wanna meet someone who's REALLY cool, though?" Naruto nods, and Lydia calls out three times, "Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!" And as thunder crackles in the room, and the library momentarily fills with fog, who should appear but the Ghost With the Most himself?

 

Beetlejuice hugs Lydia, and says, "Hey, Lyds! What crazy stuff we got planned for today? Putting spiders in Frank's wine? Maybe going inside these books and wrecking their stories?"

 

 Lydia giggles and says, "No, Beej. I just wanted to introduce you to my new friend. This is Naruto."

 

 Beetlejuice grins, and he says, "Hey there, new bud!" Beetlejuice then takes out a business card, reading Beetlejuice: The Ghost With the Most. BIO-EXORCIST - Guaranteed to cleanse the living from your home, just say it once, say it twice, say it thrice, or your money back (possibly).

 

Naruto blinks, and asks, "Bio-exorcist, huh? How's that going for you?"

 

 Beetlejuice shrugs, and says, "It's a living. Anyways, I only got one rule if you wanna be my pal - Don't . HURT. LYDIA. " And Beetlejuice punctuates each word as he slowly transforms into a hybrid of himself and a sandworm. In a deep, warped voice, Beetlejuice screams, "GOT IT!?" And as he says this, a wall of fire appears, and Naruto can hear the screams of the damned being tortured. 

 

Naruto, absolutely terrified, nods and meekly says, "Wouldn't dream of it anyway."

 

 Beetlejuice turns back to normal, and cheerfully says, "Good. Now if you'll excuse me, my soap opera's on. Rick's evil twin Rick is marrying their sister, but neither of them know it!" With a loud, cackling laugh, Beetlejuice disappears!

 

 Lydia leans in and whispers, "He's always like that. You'll get used to it."

 

 Naruto replies, "Noted."

 

 Toby says, "Come on, we only have the pool and ballroom left to see. Bye, Lydia! Talk to you later!"

 

 Lydia, having gone back to reading, waves goodbye as Toby, Ebony, and Naruto leave the library. And so, the two move on to the pool - the room is large and spacious, with a large pool taking up the majority of it. And in the middle, resting on a pool chair and reading Anton LaVey’s “The Satanic Bible”, is Wednesday Addams, now 18 years old; she wears nothing but a black bikini, her hair now long and flowing to her mid-back, and sunglasses. She stares at Toby, Naruto, and Ebony for a bit before going back to reading.

 

Naruto asks, “Not the friendly or outgoing type, huh?”

 

Ebony answers, “Nope.”

 

Naruto shrugs, and asks, “Wanna go for a swim?”

 

Wednesday answers from her pool chair, “Come anywhere near me, and you will suffer!”

 

Naruto, visibly cringing, mutters, “That’s a no, then…” And so, they moved onto the ballroom, where they see three people: Rocky Horror, a buff blonde and tanned creation of Frank, his ‘sister’ Roxy Horror (who resembles Carolyn Jones), and Frank’s ‘groupie’ Columbia. Columbia is listening to some jazz on the jukebox, before she stops and turns to the group.

 

Columbia says, her voice having a thick Brooklyn accent, “Hi there! You must be the new guy! Frankie told me to keep an eye out for ya!” Naruto walks over to Columbia, and before he can shake her hand, she suddenly pulls him into a quick yet passionate kiss; Naruto is left stunned, and Columbia smirks. Columbia says, “Just to give you a taste of what to expect!”

 

Before Naruto can introduce himself to Rocky and Roxy, however, Coop and D.O.G. burst in! Coop says: “Naruto, you need to come with us! The city’s in trouble!”

 

Naruto scowls and says, “Why should I care? I’m not even a Power Ranger anymore!” He gestures to Columbia and says, “I have new, better friends and a home now! So you can just shove it, the both of you!”

 

D.O.G. puts a hand on Naruto’s shoulder and says, “Is that what this is about? Are you so blinded by arrogance that you’re so willing to abandon your teammates, your family, just so you can spend your days partaking in mindless pleasure?” He turns to Columbia. “No offense.”

 

Columbia shrugs. “Eh. None taken.”

 

Naruto stares at D.O.G., at a loss for words as he realizes just what an IDIOT he’s been. Almost crying, Naruto clenches his fist and says, “....I’m sorry. I was so concerned with my own wants…”

 

D.O.G. smiles and says, “You’re forgiven. Now come on, we need to stop Love Bug!” With that, Naruto, D.O.G., and Coop teleport away! 

 

Rocky Horror blinks and says, “Tell me you all saw that.”

 

Roxy nods and says, “Yup.”

 

Columbia says, “Uh huh.”

 

Toby says, “Capiche.”

 

Ebony says, “Can confirm.”

 

-------------------------------------

 

Naruto meets up with the other Rangers at the amusement park, where Love Bug continues to terrorize! Love Bug turns to the Rangers and says, “Ooh, more cute couples for me to play with!” And she fires a beam at Naruto and Usagi. Thankfully, the two of them manage to dodge the love beam just in time!

 

Naruto turns to Usagi and says, “That was close! Ready to squash this bug?”

 

Usagi says, “You know it!” 

 

And the Rangers retrieve their morphers and say in unison: “It’s Morphin’ Time!”

 

Naruto says: “Red Mars Leo power!”

 

Lettuce, in the middle of raiding a now-abandoned hot dog cart, stops and turns. Hia mouth now full of hot dogs, Lettuce says: “Green Sagittarius Jupiter Power!”

 

Pinkie says, “Pink Taurus Jupiter Power!”

 

Starhawk says, “Blue Pisces Mercury Power!”

 

Firehawk says, “Black Capricorn Saturn Power!”

 

And Usagi finishes with! “Sailor Moon! Cosmic Power!” 

 

And the Rangers pose and shout in unison, “Power Rangers Multiverse Force!”

 

Love Bug scoffs and says, “Oh, how cute. More Rangers. Well, I’ll show you what I did to that last bunch!” And she summons several smaller youma to attack! The Rangers all charge forth, stronger than ever, as a hit song by Joan Jett plays! Joan Jett sings: “Midnight gettin' uptight, Where are you? You said you'd meet me, now it's quarter to two.I know I'm hangin' but I'm still wantin' you. Hey Jack, It's a fact they're talkin' in town.

I turn my back and you're messin' around. I'm not really jealous, don't like lookin' like a clown. I think of you every night and day. You took my heart and you took my pride away. I hate myself for loving you. Can't break free from the things that you do. I wanna walk but I run back to you. That's why I hate myself for loving you. Daylight spent the night without you. But I've been dreamin' 'bout the lovin' you do, I won't be as angry 'bout the hell you put me through. Hey Man, betcha you can treat me right. You just don't know what you was missin' last night. I wanna see your face and say forget it just for spite.I think of you every night and day. You took my heart and you took my pride away. I hate myself for loving you. Can't break free from the, the things that you do. I wanna walk but I run back to you. That's why I hate myself for loving you. I think of you every night and day. You took my heart and you took my pride awayI hate myself for loving you. Can't break free from the things that you do.I wanna walk but I run back to you. That's why I hate myself for loving you. I hate myself for loving you. Can't break free from the the things that you do. I wanna walk but I run back to you. That's why I hate myself for loving you. I hate myself, For loving you. I hate myself, For loving you. I hate myself. For loving you. I hate myself, I hate myself for loving you. I hate myself for loving you…” And the epic song ends as the Rangers defeat the minion youma! Now that the smaller ones have been dealt with, the Rangers turn to Love Bug!

Naruto says: “Now you have nothing, Love Bug! So stand down!”

Love Bug says: “Oh, and YOU five have something?”

Naruto nods and says: “FIRE BLADE!”

Starhawk says: “CHAIN AXE!”

Lettuce says: “THUNDER HAMMER!”

Pinkie says: “LASER PISTOL!”

Firehawk says: “SHADOW DAGGERS!”

Usagi finishes with: “EMPEROR’S BLADE!”

And all six Rangers combine their weapons, and say in unison, say: “POWER BLASTER CANNON!” before firing at Love Bug, who explodes!

Meanwhile, back in Queen Beryl’s fortress, Queen Beryl grumbles and says, “No matter. We have more than enough energy for our quota.”

Kunziite offers her some leftovers from his and Zoisite’s date, and Queen Beryl begins eating ravenously, as if she were drowning her sorrows in alcohol.

Back in the Juice Bar, all the Rangers, Multiverse Force and Thunder, are sitting around the table with drinks. Sampson says: “Well, I’m glad that’s over. I did enjoy making out with Patsy, admittedly.” And Patsy slaps Sampson, who rubs his cheek. Sampson says: “Sorry.”

Patsy says: “It’s fine.”

Naruto turns to Firehawk, and says: “Look, Firehawk….” before Firehawk shushes him with a sudden and passionate kiss! After several minutes, Firehawk breaks it and grins.

Firehawk, in a low seductive voice, says: “All is forgiven….lover boy.”

Coop fake-gags and says: “Get a ROOM, you two!”

Naruto chuckles and says: “Oh, don’t worry, Coop. We’ll have an entire CASTLE to get freaky in now!”

Lettuce interrupts, and says: “Sorry to interrupt, you three, but I have an important question for one future Mrs. Retthi Manchot…” and he pulls out the necklace he had proposed to Pinkie with almost a year before and says, “Pinkie….will you marry me again?”

And Pinkie practically crushes Lettuce in a hug and kisses him repeatedly while saying: “Yes! Yes, Destiny!” And the episode ends with all the Rangers laughing! /

No episode notes this time, I hope you enjoyed reading that, as much as we did writing it! Enough said, true believers!

Okay, I haven't heard from Renegade for more than a week. I hope he's doing all right, but since it's bad luck (and quite frankly), a bad idea, to let an episode idea (or story) to ferment and stew too long, I feel that the show must go on. So, to avoid the dreaded data limit plague, the show will be presented in spoiler format, for the curious person's viewing pleasure. I hope you enjoy reading it, as much as I did writing it! /

No Train, No Gain

It looks like a sunny, uneventful day in Coastal Falls, except that what appears to be one of Queen Beryl's Youma, a Giant, Female Slug, is attacking the town, and spewing out a lot of poisonous barbs! Naruto, already morphed in his Red Ranger form, is leading the Thunder Rangers, on a plan of attack! Usagi contacts Naruto via communicator! Usagi says: "I've got the Necron invasion under control with FireHawk and StarHawk. How are you and the other Thunder Rangers doing?"
Naruto says: "Not good! We're totally PINNED down here, and getting nowhere fast! They're NOT ready for this!"
Patsy says: "HELLO! I'm standing RIGHT here! I can HEAR every single WORD you are SAYING!"
Naruto says: "Than I don't have to repeat myself!" He says as he opens up a can of Mountain Dew, only for the giant slug to SHOOT a poison needle at it, RIGHT out of his hand!
Naruto angrily says: "That, was my last, can of MOUNTAIN DEW!!!! Samson, come here!"
StarHawk communicates to Naruto, and she says: "Naruto! Remember the plan!"
Naruto rolls his eyes and says: "Good luck with that! Samson, how's your throwing arm?"
Samson asks: "Does Camp Kidney, V.I.P. Baseball Player of 2009 sound impressive enough for you?!"

Naruto says: "It's impressive enough!"
Krash'ir says: "Come on! Work with the REST of us!"
Naruto says: "THROW!!!!"
And Samson throws Naruto, and Naruto says: "FIREFOX BLAST!!!!"
And Naruto channels the energy of a Fox Shaped Fire Attack, and Naruto pierces STRAIGHT through the Giant Slug monster, DECAPITATING it's head, and INSTANTLY rendering it dead! Naruto looks at the mess the Slug Monster has made, and he says: "Class Dismissed!"
Coastal Falls FADES around them, as it's revealed that they've been training in the Simulation Planet, and Queen Hedrian says: "Simulation Planet, Level Nine, completed."
Naruto says: "That was a good throw, Samson!"
Usagi asks: "What was THAT?!"
Naruto says: "Basic Simulation Planet training exercise."
Usagi says: "You KNOW what I mean! I was trying to teach the Thunder Rangers a DEFENSIVE exercise!"
Naruto says: "I TAUGHT them a defensive exercise: The best defense is a good offense! Or...is it the other way around in reverse?"

D.O.G., says: "Naruto, you CAN'T just change the rules to fit your own mood whenever you see fit!"
Coop says: "I don't mind! I found the experience enlightening!"
Naruto says: "Look; I'm just the sub! If you want to complain to somebody, complain to Lettuce and Pinkie! THEY were the ones who were supposed to DO this with the Thunder Rangers!"
FireHawk says: "So why didn't they?"
Naruto says: "I guess Pinkie and Lettuce both got hit HARD with puberty! Pinkie is shedding, and Lettuce is molting!" /
The scene cuts to Lettuce's house, where Pinkie and Lettuce are now BOTH living, due to having married, but Pinkie is in the restroom, DESPERATELY trying to keep her fur on! Pinkie cries: "My MANE!!!! My beautiful, perfectly groomed MANE!!!!"
Lettuce says: "You think YOU'RE the only one WORRIED about stuff?! I can't BELIEVE I'm molting my luxurious penguin feathers! It is SO undignified!"
Pinkie says: "My mother WARNED me this would happen, but I thought it would be GRADUALLY, NOT all at ONCE, like THIS!"
Lettuce says: "I don't like it anymore than you do!"
Pinkie says: "We CAN'T go out and about like THIS! I'd NEVER hear the END of it!"

Lettuce says: "We won't have to! I already called Omnus about it, he's perfectly understanding. He told us to stay home unless there's an absolute emergency! Until than, I'm going to try to cook something up for us, to see if it will help us grow in my adult feathers, and your adult mane. Besides, ever since I've fought the Love Bug, I have been feeling unusually hungry."
Pinkie asks: "Is that REALLY relevant right now?"
Lettuce says: "With the way we live our lives, it probably WILL be!" /
Back at the Command Center, Alpha 8 is checking the diagnostics, and he says: "Most excellent work, Rangers! And a MUCH better display of restraint and patience from YOU today, Naruto!"
Naruto asks: "So what else is new? Omnus, I thought these training simulations were supposed to make us STRONGER, and give us NEW moves! But it just feels like we've been going through the motions! I mean, what have we REALLY been taught by training here?"
Omnus honestly says: "I have taught you...NOTHING!!!!"
Naruto says: "Come on! Don't give me that! In case you've forgotten, we STILL have a situation against Queen Beryl! We need to get stronger! I know that the Magi-Mother gave Captain Retro some SPECIAL training! We want the EXACT same training that Captain Retro got!"
Omnus sighs and says: "Very well. Captain Retro!!!!"

Captain Retro warps in, and says: "You rang? I ALWAYS wanted to say that!"
Omnus says: "Naruto and the Thunder Rangers want YOUR training! You got somewhere to train them?"
Captain Retro says: "We'll do it at Briarwood, at the Magi-Mother's place, that should be adequate! Naruto, Thunder Rangers!"
Naruto, and the Thunder Rangers say: "Yes, sir?!"
Captain Retro says: "I'm taking it upon myself, to remold you like a sculptor would a piece of wet clay!"
Coop says: "Cool! We're like wet clay!"
Captain Retro thinks about it, and says: "I suppose I better train Scrappy-Doo, to! Alpha Eight?"
Alpha 8 says: "On it, Captain Retro!"
And Alpha 8 warps Scrappy-Doo into the Command Center! Scrappy-Doo says: "Cool! You want me to help you fight?!"
Captain Retro says: "Kind of. You're training with us! Besides, it will help me to gauge your actual strength and prowess. Once I know WHERE it is, I can help you improve from there!"
Scrappy-Doo says: "Awesome!"

Captain Retro says: "Very well, than! Usagi and StarHawk, keep watch over Coastal Falls! If something comes up, contact BlackHawk to help you out, and THAN us in case you need help! And FireHawk; DO stay out of trouble for once!"
FireHawk rolls her eyes, and says: "No promises!"
Captain Retro sighs and says: "Closest I'M going to get from her! Very well than, we're off!"
And Captain Retro, Naruto, and the Thunder Rangers, warp to Briarwood! Alpha 8 asks Omnus: "Say, do you think everything is going to be all right?"
Omnus says: "Knowing Captain Retro, I don't see any why everything WOULDN'T be all right!"
Alpha 8 says: "I didn't really mean THAT! I meant Coastal Falls! What if Queen Beryl sends down another Youma?!"
Omnus says: "We should be thankful, that's ALL that the Power Rangers CURRENTLY have to deal with!" /
Meanwhile, a spaceship that hasn't been seen for two months, SUDDENLY emerges from a wormhole, and the Diabolic spaceship appears from it, right over Core Earth! On board the ship, Vipera screams: "UGH!!!! I can't believe it! I give you ONE simple task, Kraky! Steer the ship TOWARDS the Planet Onyx; and instead, you sent us on a wild GOOSE chase half-way across the Milky Way Galaxy, and by the time we GET to Planet Onyx, the Rangers already LEFT it one month ago, and you SOMEHOW managed to make getting back to Core Earth take ANOTHER month! How do you explain yourself?!"

Kraky says: "It's not MY fault space has SO many directions you can go in! I KNEW I should've taken that LEFT turn at Alpha Centauri!"
Drako says: "Well, no use crying over spilled Nuclear Waste, as Finster used to tell me. The important thing is, the Power Rangers are still alive, and according to my sensors, there's now MORE of them!"
Vipera yells: "MORE of them?! Are you FREAKING kidding me?!"
Drako says: "I'm afraid not. The Thunder Morphers, which I thought had been lost during the Great War 10,000 years ago, were rediscovered by the Magi-Mother. And now, five brats have HARNESSED those powers!"
Baphomet says: "This is absolutely INFURIATING! As if SEVEN Power Brats weren't irksome enough! Vipera, you should send me down to Core Earth to TEACH those meddling Power Rangers a lesson!"
Drako says: "I'd advise against it. For one thing, have you forgotten BlackHawk and his Gold Ranger powers? At your current strength level, he'd mop the floor with you in five minutes, maybe literally! Besides, why risk destroying ourselves? We still have 184 Necron Doom Bots at our disposal. They're QUITE dangerous in or themselves! I think sending 14 of them down, will be an adequate enough challenge, to see exactly HOW strong the Power Rangers have become in the past two months!"
Vipera says: "Not a bad idea! But perhaps we should hedge our bets a bit!"

Kraky says: "I've got an idea that I've been saving for a rainy day...SOMEWHERE on Core Earth!" Kraky reaches into his pockets, and pulls out a model of a toy train! Kraky says: "Trains our POWERFUL machines, strong, fast, and VERY durable! If we turn this toy train into a blood beast, we could use it to conquer Neo Austalia-Asia!"
Vipera excitedly says: "What an INGENIOUS scheme! You're a GENIUS, you IDIOT!!!! Drako, make it happen!"
Drako focuses his NEW, dark powers, and lets the evil magic FLOW through him! Drako says: "By the power invested in me, and ALL the scheming techniques of T'zeen'tch, let this Toy Train, be TURNED, into RUNAWAY TRAIN!!!!"
And a flash of red energy flows from Drako's hands, into the Toy Train, and the Toy Train turns into a Blood Beast, shaped like an Anthropomorphic train! The train says: "Choo-Choo! I am Runaway Train! Tell me where to run to, and I will RUN it over!"
Vipera says: "Excellent! There's a continent on Core Earth, that I would very much LIKE for you to conquer! You see the GIANT continent?! That's Neo Australia-Asia! There's TOO MANY people on it! Run it over, so that enough room can be made for my GLITTERING Golden Palace! I want a full four square miles for it AT the very least!"
Runaway Train says: "What you ask for, shall be DONE!!!!"
And in a puff of steam, the Runaway Train zooms down to Core Earth! Baphomet asks: "One thing, Vipera; suppose Queen Beryl tries to interfere with Runaway Train?"

Drako says: "No fear of THAT! Queen Beryl's Youma will find themselves quite outmatched by Runaway Train! I also took the magical liberty, of modifying Runaway Train, so that ANY opponents he kills or damages, will SIPHON their energy, DIRECTLY into you, Baphomet! So the next time you FIGHT BlackHawk, you'll be READY for him!"
Baphomet says: "I like this new, IMPROVED you, more and more all the time!" /
Meanwhile, down on Neo Australia-Asia, who of ALL characters, except for Bash and Smash, should be down there?! Smash says: "This sun is too hot, and there's nowhere NEAR enough shade in this outback section of Neo Australia-Asia! Remind me again, WHY did I agree to do this with you?"
Bash says: "We NEED the extra credit badly! Our High School Professors could hold us BACK if we don't get our grades up! This excursion is our ticket to future job benefits! Not to mention, we MIGHT run into some Power Rangers!"
The Runaway Train appears on the scene, and he says: "I don't know about Power Rangers, but you're about to RUN into me! Or should I say, I'm about to run INTO, and OVER, you; unless you get out of the way!"
Smash says: "Hey! You have no idea who you're talking to! I just lost the love of MY life to some freaky little penguin! I'm in NO mood to take orders from YOU! Bash, throw me at him!"
Bash groans and says: "This plan reeks of FAILURE!!!!"
Bash picks up Smash, and throws him at Runaway Train! Smash screams: "Smash SLAM!!!!"

And his fists connect with Runaway Train, but Runaway Train utterly NO-SELLS the attack, and instead, Smash recoils in pain, and screams: "OW!!!! OW! OW! OW!!!! I never thought hitting a train could hurt THAT much!" /
The alarm blares off in the Command Center, and Alpha 8 says: "Aye-yai-yai-yai-yai! We have trouble already! What's Queen Beryl up to THIS time?!"
Omnus says: "Unfortunately it's not Queen Beryl! It seems that Vipera STILL hasn't given up her dream of conquering Neo Australia-Asia. Unfortunately, it seems the Blood Beast that Drako has created is stronger than his old brand of Blood Beasts, filled with the Dark Magic of a Chaos God!"
Queen Hedrian said: "It must be the doing of...the scheming Chaos God! Who else would scheme such a diabolic plan?! However, it's more desperate than I would expect from HIM! He must have really been WORRIED about Radiguet to make a plan THIS well thought out!"
Omnus says: "Agreed! I'll contact BlackHawk, he'll want to protect his friends personally!" /
At Camp Kidney, Lumpus is looking through a bunch of papers and folders, and he asks: "BlackHawk, do you have the schedules for this upcoming spring camp session?"
BlackHawk says: "Yes, Scoutmaster Lumpus, I just had my hands on them!"
Lumpus says: "Oh, good! They'll be nice and smudged!"
BlackHawk opens up a file cabinet and says: "Here they are! If it had been a snake, it would have bitten me!"

Lumpus looks at the papers, gains a sour look, and says: "BlackHawk, these are the schedules that Slinkman couldn't find for the LAST spring camp session! Now, maybe next year, you'll FIND the ones for THIS spring camp session!" (Beep! Beep! Ba-Beep! Beep! Beep!)
BlackHawk says: "Hold that thought!" BlackHawk answers his communicator, and says: "What is it, Omnus?"
Omnus says: "BlackHawk, a new Blood Beast named Runaway Train has appeared in Neo Australia-Asia! Your friends, Bash and Smash are the first in his sight!"
BlackHawk says: "I'm on my way!" He turns off the communicator, and says: "Sorry, Lumpus! My OTHER duty that I told you about is calling! I have to take it!"
Lumpus says: "Don't take TOO long! You won't GET paid for any hours you spend as a Ranger, we DO have a budget we have to adhere to!"
BlackHawk says: "This shouldn't take too long! You fight ONE Blood Beast, you've fought them all! It's Morphing Time!" /
BlackHawk says: "Power of the Sun, SOLAR!!!!" /
BlackHawk appears morphed, and Lumpus says: "Nice outfit!"
BlackHawk says: "It gets the job down! I should be back in...22 minutes!"
And BlackHawk warps away! Lumpus says: "It sure would be nice to be a hero like a Power Ranger someday!" /

BlackHawk appears in Neo Australia-Asia and KICKS Runaway Train just BEFORE he can run over Bash and Smah! BlackHawk says: "Hey! Didn't anyone ever teach you to look at WHERE you run?! You're not the ONLY creature in the outback, you know!"
Runaway Train says: "Well, this is my lucky day! It's a Power Ranger!"
Bash says: "This is our lucky day! We've been saved by a Power Ranger!"
Smash says: "Still doesn't stop my hands from throbbing in pain!"
BlackHawk says: "Don't even bother trying to find out my identity, I'd be too fast for you!"
Bash asks: "What? How did YOU know we wanted to find out your identity?!"
BlackHawk says: "Because you just TOLD me, DUH!!!!"
Smash groans and says: "Oh, I HATE when others do THAT to us!"
BlackHawk says: "Anyways, you better get out of here, you're just collateral damage, here!"
Bash sighs, and say: "Oh, all right! Come on, Smash!"
And they run to their Outback Jeep, and get the HECK out of Dodge! Smash says: "Say, Bash, didn't he sound FAMILIAR to you?"
Bash says: "Smash, EVERYONE sounds familiar to you!"
Runaway Train says: "Now that you're all alone, it's time to unveil my SURPRISE!!!!"

And Fourteen Necron Robots appear around Runaway Train! BlackHawk says: "I see that Drako's learned a few new tricks! Luckily, I've figured out a few new tricks to! I'd like to introduce you to Saba II!!!!"
And BlackHawk pulls out his talking sword! Saba II says: "At your service, BlackHawk!"
BlackHawk says: "Saba II, Pincer Movement Technique #4, you KNOW what to do!"
Saba II says: "On it!"
And using solar propulsion, Saba II flies FORWARD of its own volition, and quicky circles around the Necron Robots, who are bewildered in amazement by how FAST the sword is traveling! Meanwhile, BlackHawk charges up his Solar Power, and he says: "Solar STORM!!!!"
And he fires a blast of Solar Energy at the Necron Robots! Saba II flies back to BlackHawk, and the Necron Robots are are BLASTED into a fiery explosion, which ends up HURTING Runaway Train, who is tossed several feet away! Runaway Train says: "Hey! That's not FAIR! Now it's one against one!"
BlackHawk says: "Too bad I never AGREED to play by YOUR terms! Now, the fight will just be between you, and me!" /
Meanwhile, Captain Retro has warped Naruto, Scrappy-Doo, and the Thunder Rangers to Briarwood! Windsor T. Gorilla, is there to greet them! Windsor says: "Captain Retro, Scrappy, and the Thunder Rangers, what are YOU doing here?!"
Samson says: "I could ask you the same thing, Windsor!"

Windsor says: "I decided to take an apprenticeship here! The Magi-Mother thinks she can teach me how to use offensive magic, and help me augment my cybernetic enhancements! After all, if you're going to have to face Radiguet someday, you could probably all the help that you can get!"
Coop says: "We're certainly glad to have it, Windsor! It will be GREAT having you to fight with us when the time comes!"
Captain Retro says: "All right! This is where we will train! This is Briarwood, the very place where I took my place as the avatar of the Dog Guardian, and gained all my current powers. While you won't be training to become avatars of any Guardain, you WILL be training to unlock more true potential! Now, before we go any further, how many of you have had any previous training in the martial arts?"
And everyone present, raises their hands. Captain Retro says: "Good! In that case, we can skip the difference between what a punch and a kick is! Now, despite some of your pre-conceived notions, Martial Arts is about TRAINING to beat your enemies, get rich and famous, or even get the girls, or the guys, to fall head over heels in love with you, its about using your strength to DEFEND yourselves from enemies, and to protect others! Now, since you're all at different skill levels, you will all need to train at a level best suited to your current needs! Lucky for you, I'm proficient at detecting power levels and latent skill, so I will let you know, the best kind of training that you need! Scrappy-Doo!"
Scrappy asks: "You want ME to train under you?!"
Captain Retro says: "Not yet! You have to build up to it first!"

Scrappy's face droops, and he says: "Oh, man!"
Captain Retro says: "Fortunately, you can do that building up right here! First, I want you to spar with Coop!"
Coop says: "Hold up! Why me?!"
Captain Retro says: "Because technically speaking, you're both the youngest and the least experienced! Scrappy will be able to last LONGER training with you, and will have an easier time catching up! Besides, him sparring with you, will help YOU improve, as well!"
Krash'ir says: "I can't argue with THAT! I wouldn't know HOW to!"
Captain Retro says: "And just to make it more fair, you should power down as well. If you truly want to get stronger, you need to improve your BASE power level, instead of your levels as Power Rangers!"
Patsy says: "But what about not HITTING a GIRL?!!!"
Captain Retro rolls his eyes and says: "Do you THINK Queen Beryl is going to care about THAT?! Of COURSE not! She's already tried to murder Usagi on MULTIPLE occasions, and threaten the lives of StarHawk and Pinkie as well! Trying NOT to hit you is the LAST thing on her mind! You want to be a Power Ranger? Here's Lesson #1, don't EVER expect the villains to play fair, because they WON'T!"
D.O.G., says: "I hate to say it but, my little brother has got a point. Power Down!"

And Naruto, and the Thunder Rangers power down! All right, Scrappy-Doo and Coop, basic sparring; punching and kicking, but NO energy manipulation, yet!"
And Scrappy-Doo and Coop pick out a corner of the forest, and decide to start sparring there. Captain Retro looks at everyone else and gets an idea! Captain Retro says: "I know what will help YOU, Patsy! YOU, will spar with Krash'ir!"
Patsy says: "Me, against her?! Are you CRAZY?!"
Captain Retro says: "This is PRECISELY the kind of training that you need! If you're going to be a Power Ranger, you NEED to be prepared to fight ANYTHING! And I DO mean anything! Besides, Krash'ir, I can trust you to hold back, and try NOT to kill anybody here, right?"
Krash'ir says: "I already filled MY quota for the week. My battle aura is completely calm!"
Captain Retro says: "Good! Anything goes, EXCEPT for morphing and killing for the BOTH of you two!"
And Patsy and Krash'ir choose another section of the forest, and begin sparring there! Captain Retro looks around and asks: "Samson, are you going to be able to handle this?"
Samson scoffs, and he says: "You're kidding, right? Do you have ANY idea of what MY life used to be like at Camp Kidney before YOU and BlackHawk showed up?! Sparring will be a PICNIC compared to THAT!"
Windsor says: "Speaking of, the Magi-Mother says SHE has a picnic lunch prepared for whenever you get hungry!"

Captain Retro says: "We'll keep that in mind! And Samson, I think you'll be able to fight against D.O.G.!"
Samson says: "Woah! Hold up! I have no qualm against your older brother!"
Captain Retro says: "Hey! You just said you would be able to HANDLE this, and that this would be a PICNIC! Besides, do you know how EXPERIENCED my brother is? Fighting with him, is only one STEP below fighting with me! You should consider yourself lucky!"
D.O.G., says: "Thank you, brother. I'm flattered!"
Samson nods his head in resolve, and says: "Very well, then! I shall rise to the challenge, and prove myself worthy of this power!"
Captain Retro says: "Very well, a test of endurance for the two of you! Strive to push PAST your limits, and aim for a higher potential! Give me 110%! Go!"
And Samson and D.O.G., choose another section of the forest, and begin sparring there! Naruto looks around, and asks: "And what about me?"
Captain Retro says: "You will be sparring with ME!!!! You wanted the EXACT same training I got? Well, you're going to get it! And everything that entails with it! Now, before we officially start my training, I want to see what kind of tricks that you've got!"
Naruto chuckles, and he says: "I've been WAITING for a chance to show THIS off! Clone Jujitsu!"

And in a puff of smoke, Naruto has produced 1,000 copies of himself! All the Naruto's speak in unison: "So, you want to fight me? Go ahead! But which one of us is the REAL Naruto, and not just a fake copy? Just remember, we have 2,000 eyes between us, so we HAVE no blind spots to speak of!"
Captain Retro scoffs, and says: "Amateur hour! I can already spot TWO weaknesses with this technique!"
The Magi-Father says: "TWO weaknesses?"
The Magi-Mother says: "Is there even ONE?"
Captain Retro says: "I'm gonna borrow another move from Dragonball Z on this one; Solar Flare!"
And everyone EXCEPT the Naruto clones, close their eyes, and a blinding flash of light radiates in the area, during which, Captain Retro quickly zooms, around, knocks down 500 of the Naruto clones, causing them to dissipate into the remaining clones! The light disappears, and Captain Retro says: "That's your FIRST weakness! 2,000 eyes are TOO good! They make you FAR more susceptible to light blinding attacks! And if I can use them, we know for a FACT that your enemies are going to use them!"
The Naruto clones say in unison: "Yeah, well, don't think we'll far for THAT trick again!"
Captain Retro says: "I wouldn't, that's why I'm going after your SECOND weakness!"
Windsor says: "He's won this."

Captain Retro says: "KamehameHA!!!!"
And producing a strong burst of energy, Captain Retro EASILY blasts all the remaining Naruto copies, causing the rest to dissipate, until only the original remains! Captain Retro says: "THAT was your SECOND weakness! By dividing yourself into 1,000 individual copies, you've also divided your own power level equally into every single copy of yourself! So, instead of one strong warrior, you've got one VERY weak army!"
Naruto gasps, and he says: "I don't believe it! Back in MY home land, no opponent has EVER managed to TRULY overpower me, and here, YOU, a flying dog, have overtaken me EASILY! You're AMAZING!"
Captain Retro says: "Well, it all comes from being a--."
Naruto screams: "FIREFOX PUNCH!!!!"
Windsor says: "Naruto, you really can't!!!!"
(KONG!!!!) And Naruto punches Captain Retro right in the stomach, only for Captain Retro to utterly NO-Sell the attack, and for Naruto to recoil in pain! Naruto screams: "OW!!!! OW! OW! OW!!!! I think I broke my ARM while trying to punch the Anti-Cthulu!"
Captain Retro says: "That's a new one. I'm going to have to remember THAT one! And for future reference..."
Captain Retro blasts ANOTHER Kamehameha and says: "Kamehameha!!!!" And pushes Naruto backwards into a sturdy tree!

Captain Retro says: "The element of surprise works FAR better when you announce your attack WHILE you're doing it, INSTEAD of BEFORE you do it!"
Naruto gets angry, and says: "Why...YOU...!!!!"
And Naruto produces another puff of smoke, and produces a bunch of transparent images of himself! Captain Retro feigns surprise, and he says: "SO many fake copies of Naruto! WHERE is the real one?!"
And without even LOOKING Captain Retro punches to the left, and PUNCHES Naruto away! Captain Retro says: "Oh, LUCKY me!!!!"
Naruto says: "Cheap shot!!!!"
And Naruto produces the transparent images and disappears again! And STILL, without even looking, Captain Retro punches to the right, and PUNCHES Naruto away, and Captain Retro says: "Oh, lucky me AGAIN!!!! Or, maybe you're NOT as skilled as you so claim to be?"
Naruto angrily says: "That's it! NOW I'm MAD!!!!"
And Naruto unleashes a BARRAGE of punches and says: "Firefox BARRAGE!!!!"
And despite Naruto unleashing what APPEARS to be a THOUSAND fists at Captain Retro, he EASILY blocks ALL of the punches with just his left hand! Captain Retro says: "No matter WHAT you TRY, the end result is STILL the same!"
Naruto says: "Same THIS!!!! Firefox BLAST!!!!"

And Naruto TRIES to produce the Firefox Blast, but instead, Captain Retro, and everyone else, seemingly vanishes! Naruto says: "What? Where am I?"
And an eight tailed Kitsune suddenly appears before him. Naruto says: "YOU?!"
The Kitsune says: "Do you STILL not see it? After all this time?"
Naruto asks: "See what?"
The Kitsune says: "Your own inner rage and anger that blinds you to the techniques that Captain Retro is using! You're too busy trying to follow with your eyes, and NOT locking onto his energy! You waste your time with displays of flashy attacks, instead of focusing on your true power!"
Naruto asks: "Wait! How are you here?!"
The Kitsune says: "It doesn't matter. Are you REALLY going to let the ten-tailed Kitsune appear and destroy the planet that you live, or are you willing to PURIFY your soul, and claim the power that SHOULD be yours?"
Naruto asks: "What do you mean?"
And suddenly, energy radiates from Naruto, leaves its body, and manifests itself into the image of Naruto's former friend TURNED enemy, Obito!
Naruto asks: "HIM?!!!"

The Obito image says: "Hello Naruto. Remember me?"
Naruto angrily says: "How could I ever FORGET?!!! You BETRAYED me, BETRAYED Sasuke! BETRAYED everything the Hokage School ever stood for! How DARE you stand here before me?!!! DIE!!!!"
And Naruto produces a FIRE sword and starts attack at the Obito image, while the Obito image defends itself with ANOTHER fire sword, but the Obito image is helplessly overpowered by Naruto's SHEER anger and fury, and Naruto HACKS at the Obito image, until Naruto KNOCKS Obito's Fire Sword away, and CUTS off Obito's left hand! Obito evilly SAYS: "Good, GOOD!!!! Your hatred has made you POWERFUL!!!! Now, fulFILL your destiny! Take MY place, as the MASTER of ALL EVIL!!!!"
And then, for the first time in his life, Naruto FEELS the evil energy within him, that had lain dormant inside of him all his life. And instead of feeling excited, he feels afraid, of just how CLOSE he had come, to succumbing to the darkness inside of him. Naruto dissipates his Flame Sword, and Naruto defiantly says: "Never! I will NEVER succumb to the darkness again! You failed, Obito! I'm a Power Ranger! I always have been! I always will be!"
The Obito image says: "So be it, Power Ranger. But if YOU will not succumb to the evil, you will be DESTROYED by it!"
And the Obito image shoots LIGHTNING at Naruto, overwhelming Naruto! The Obito image says: "Young fool. Only now, in the end, do you realize!"

And the Obito image continues to shoot lightning at Naruto everytime he finishes a sentence. The Obito image says: "You are no match for the power of MY evil! You shall pay the PRICE for your lack of vision!!!!"
And while Naruto is able to endure and RESIST the lightning bolts, they are CLEARLY causing him pain! Naruto says: "Spirit Kitsune, PLEASE!!!!"
And the Kitsune looks on, as if KNOWING that Naruto truly MEANS his words, and has FINALLY understood compassion and the true meaning of being a Power Ranger! The Obito Image says: "Now, Young Naruto, you will die."
But Naruto REFUSES to let the electrical surges overpower him, so the Obito image continues to fire at him! But the Obito image is SO consumed with attacking Naruto, it FAILS to see the Eight Tailed Kitsune using it's EIGHT Fire Tails against the Obito image, each one COMPLETELY burning him with the FURY of 8,000 volcanos, pushing the Obito image COMPLETELY away, and the Eight Tailed Kitsune suddenly leaps INTO Naruto, and Naruto says: "It's Morphing Time!" /
Naruto says: "Power of Mars! Fire!!!!" And to Naruto's surprise, he powers up even FURTHER!!!! And the Eight Tailed Kitsune speaks through him, and together they say: "Eight Tailed Fire Battlizer!!!!" And Naruto's Power Ranger costume suddenly gains a shiny, golden armor over his Power Ranger suit, with the face of the Kitsune facing forward, and eight fire tails facing in multiple directions, to enable Naruto to attack any opponent coming his way! /
Naruto says: "Wow! I got a new Battlizer! Time to see what this thing can do! Eight Tailed Fire BLAST!!!!"

And he fires ALL eight tails worth of FIRE at the Obito Image, and it suddenly CRACKS into a thousand pieces, as it screams, and disintegrates into nothingness!!!! /
Suddenly, the blast BREAKS Naruto back into Briarwood, and Naruto has actually PUNCHED Captain Retro in the left leg, in his golden Battlizer form! Captain Retro honestly says: "That...was more than I expected."
Windsor asks: "What happened? It was as if Naruto and Captain Retro suddenly froze up for a few minutes, than before I knew it, Naruto is morphed, AND with a brand new battlizer!"
The Magi-Mother says: "His spirit animal has finally come for Naruto! It sensed Naruto's inner turmoil, and decided to come to him, in order to purify his soul, and allow him to reach a higher level of power!"
Captain Retro says: "I never thought I'd say this, but, you passed the test. You all have."
Coop says: "We have?"
Captain Retro says: "All this training, has been to see whether or not you could move past your limitations, and confront them. All of you, have not only been able to do this, but you did so with flying colors. Especially you, Naruto. Your Aura now feels as strong as Usagi's and BlackHawk's."
Naruto says: "Thank you, but strangely enough, it wasn't enough just to want to be as STRONG as them, but wanting to defeat the evil within myself, that had been plaguing me for so long. Once I was able to confront that evil, I was able to let go of my ego, and access my spirit animal."

Captain Retro says: "That's all I ever wanted you, to be able to do. You've learned all you can from me, at least for today."
(Beep! Beep! Ba-Beep! Beep! Beep!) Captain Retro says: "What is it Omnus?"
Omnus says: "BlackHawk is currently fighting against a Blood Beast called Runaway Train. He's holding his own, but he can't take down this improved Blood Beast alone."
Naruto looks at the Thunder Rangers, and he asks: "What do you think?"
Krash'ir says: "The best defense is a good offense."
Samson says: "We work better as a team!"
Captain Retro says: "Than you know what to do!"
Coop says: "Right! It's Morphing time!" /
The Thunder Rangers all morph together, and say: "Thunder Rangers, power up!" And they all morph together in a singular action! /
The Thunder Rangers, and Naruto all leap into action, and all take turns kicking at Runaway Train! Runaway Train says: "WHAT?! More Rangers?!"
BlackHawk says: "Naruto?!!! When did YOU get new Battlizer powers?!"
Naruto says: "It's a long story, but I'll explain later!"

BlackHawk says: "Right!"
Naruto says: "Fastball special! Let's make it a strike!!!!"
BlackHawk throws Naruto to Samson, Samson throws Naruto to Krash'ir, Krash'ir throws Naruto to Coop, Coop throws Naruto to D.O.G., D.O.G., throws Naruto to Patsy, and by the time Patsy throws Naruto towards Runaway Train, Naruto has built up a tremendous amount of energy, and Naruto says: "Firefox BLAST!!!!"
And Naruto flies right THROUGH Runaway Train, causing him to short-circuit! Runaway Train says: "NO!!!! I'm heading for the last roundabout!!!!" (BOOM!!!!)
D.O.G., says: "And that, is the TRUE power of teamwork!" /
Vipera looks at the action, and she says: "Runaway Train has been de-railed, utterly."
Baphomet says: "Just make him big, and we'll crush the Rangers."
Drako says: "There's no point. He's already been trounced once, it would be POINTLESS to make him fight again. Let's cut our losses for now and call it a day."
Kraky says: "Sorry that train didn't measure up to your expectations, Drako."
Drako says: "It's not your fault, it's mine. I haven't QUITE gained complete mastery of all my powers yet. But mark my words, someday soon, I will! And when I do, watch out, Power Rangers, and the Thunder Rangers, to!" /

The Power Rangers, and Thunder Rangers, are back at the Command Center; Lettuce and Pinkie are communicating via the Viewing Globe. Lettuce says: "WOW!!!! Naruto got a Battlizer?! That's really amazing! I wish we could've seen it in action!"
Naruto says: "Don't worry about it, you'll see it soon enough!"
Pinkie says: "Lettuce's home-made cures are working miracles! His adult feathers and my adult mane will be grown in by the time for our next adventure!"
Usagi says: "We're looking forward to it!"
The Viewing Globe is turned off, and StarHawk says: "Sorry we couldn't help you fight; Queen Beryl unleashed an alligator monster on Coastal Falls that we had to take care of. That took priority for the three of us."
Coop says: "No problem. We'll all fight together the next time!"
Naruto turns around to Captain Retro, and says: "Thanks again for helping me train, Captain Retro! I'm glad that everything turned out okay!"
Captain Retro says: "I'm glad to! Just remember THAT sense of optimism when YOU find out the AWFUL truth about your current 'Girlfriend', FireHawk!"
Naruto says: "Hey, wait!" But Captain Retro has already disappeared! Naruto asks: "What did he mean by THAT?!!!"
FireHawk says: "Obviously, it means I'm NUTS about your strong, new, Ranger Powers!"

Queen Hedrian rolls her eyes, and says: "Obviously!"
Naruto says: "And whatever our next challenge is, we'll face it together, as a team!"
They all put their hands together and simultaneously say: "Power Rangers!" /

I hope that was as good of an episode for you, as it was for me. Enough said, true believers!

At long last, here is the long awaited next installment of "Power Rangers Multiverse Force", "The Obligatory Food Pyramid Episode", co-written by Renegade and myself. Enjoy! /

4EverGreen's Disclaimer: Due to my personal strong convictions, I wish to state that the following episode, is in no way, shape, or form, an indictment on the eating habits of Americans, or any one person and/or being in particular. This is meant to be a farce, first and foremost, and is meant to entertain (and possibly educate) readers and/or viewers if such time ever comes to pass. Hope you enjoy the episode (unexpectedly) started by Renegade the Unicorn, and finished by myself!
 

The Obligatory Food Pyramid Episode

The episode begins with the Rangers, Multiverse Force and Thunder, at the Juice Bar. Each of them had various drinks and foods; the only one missing was Lettuce. The small penguin arrived at their corner of the bar a bit later, carrying a tray with what looked like a standard twelve-inch pizza wrapped like what Blackhawk might have described as a "burrito from hell", globs of cheddar and mozzarella cheese oozing and bubbling outward from the edges. All the Rangers stared at him, mouths agape. No one said anything; that was, until Firehawk exclaimed (appropriately and profanely) "DAMN, LETTUCE!" Her tone was more out of awe and astonishment more than anything. Patsy's, on the other hand, was a far more befitting expression of horror.
 "What. Is. That!?" the mongoose girl whispered, her tone slowly rising into a shrill shriek as she pointed at Lettuce's monstrous meal.
 "Oh, this? It's just a Cheesy Blaster." the penguin replied, picking up the ' Cheesy Blaster' and admiring it in the same way one might admire the works of, say, Andy Warhol. "You take a hot dog, stuff it with some jack cheese, fold it in a pizza! You've got Cheesy Blasters!" As if to top off his reciting of this commercial jingle, Lettuce did an air guitar solo.
 "Uhhhh, I'm not one to talk, Lettuce, but that doesn't exactly look healthy." Pinkie said worriedly. "You might wanna be a liiiitle more careful with what you're eating."
 Blackhawk and Naruto looked at each other and visibly cringed. "I swear I'm getting a heart attack from just looking at that thing." Naruto whispered through clenched teeth.
 "Me too." Blackhawk replied as he watched Lettuce devour the Cheesy Blaster in two, maybe three bites.
 "Lettuce is gonna have a heart attack if he keeps this up." Usagi said. "Don't you care about your own health?" she asked the penguin.
 "Ah, don't worry about it, Usagi!" Lettuce reassured her. "We penguins are kept warm by our fat, so I can pretty much eat whatever I want and not have any problems whatsoever!"
 "...Yeah, he's gonna screw himself over." Kras'hir, in her human disguise of ' Krystal' replied, before biting into a Renaissance faire-style turkey leg.
Sure enough, over the next several weeks, we see Lettuce's diet grow progressively unhealthier, all the while a famous parody by "Weird Al" Yankovic plays:
"Your butt is wide, well mine is too. Just watch your mouth or I'll sit on you. The word is out, better treat me right. 'Cause I'm the king of cellulite. Ham on, ham on, ham on whole wheat, all right. My zippers bust, my buckles break. I'm too much man for you to take.
The pavement cracks when I fall down. I've got more chins than Chinatown. Well, I've never used a phone booth. And I've never seen my toes. When I'm goin' to the movies, I take up seven rows because I'm fat, I'm fat, come on.
(Fat, fat, really really fat) You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it. (Fat, fat, really really fat) You know I'm fat, I'm fat, come on you know. (Fat, fat, really really fat) Don'tcha call me pudgy, portly or stout. Just now tell me once again who's fat. When I walk out to get my mail, It measures on the Richter scale.
Down at the beach I'm a lucky man, I'm the only one who gets a tan. If I have one more pie a la mode, I'm gonna need my own zip code. When you're only having seconds, I'm having twenty-thirds. When I go to get my shoes shined, I gotta take their word. Because I'm fat, I'm fat, sha mone.
(Fat, fat, really really fat) You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it. (Fat, fat, really really fat) You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it, you know. (Fat, fat, really really fat) And my shadow weighs forty-two pounds. Lemme tell you once again who's fat. If you see me comin' your way, better give me plenty space.
If I tell you that I'm hungry, then won't you feed my face? Because I'm fat, I'm fat, come on. (Fat, fat, really really fat) You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it. (Fat, fat, really really fat) You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it, you know. (Fat, fat, really really fat) Woo woo woo, when I sit around the house, I really sit around the house.
You know I'm fat, I'm fat, come on. (Fat, fat, really really fat) You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it, you know it. (Fat, fat, really really fat) You know, you know, you know, come on. (Fat, fat, really really fat) And you know all by myself I'm a crowd, Lemme tell you once again. You know I'm huge, I'm fat, you know it.
(Fat, fat, really really fat) You know I'm fat, you know, ho. (Fat, fat, really really fat) You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it, you know. (Fat, fat, really really fat) And the whole world knows I'm fat and I'm proud; Just tell me once again who's fat?"
And the song ends as we cut back to the Juice Bar, where Lettuce is now unhealthily obese, as he waddles slowly and unsteadily with heavy, Darth Vader style breath to the usual table. But the mere exertion from walking causes him to pass out. The Rangers, now having to take action after Lettuce ignored their warnings, teleported to the Command Center.
Omnus and Hedrian were currently working on improvements to the Thunder Zords, to better suit their new masters' abilities. When Omnus saw Lettuce, he immediately rushed over to the unconscious penguin with concern on his face. "Alpha, run diagnostics. We need to make sure Lettuce is not in critical condition."
 "On it." the little robot replied, pressing some buttons on a few machines. Omnus turned to Usagi.
 "What happened? How did Lettuce's weight get so out of control?" he asked. Usagi explained what had happened, and the Eltarian man let out a sigh of disappointment.
 "So Lettuce's own hubris got a hold of him. Not to worry, however. I may just have a solution to this problem." With that, Omnus left to another part of the Command Center.
Meanwhile, in Queen Beryl's fortress, said evil queen was busy watching the events unfold. Ahzek Ahriman, her lover and second in command, was busy muttering ancient chaos magic incantations, and mixing up a potion for...something. So it was up to Kunzite to assist his queen in her plans, which he was all too happy to do. Upon seeing Lettuce in his current condition, a smirk of a genius idea spread across his face. "My queen, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
 Queen Beryl stared at him, a brow raised. "Are you suggesting we steal energy from health-conscious humans? Do you not remember that was one of Jadeite's schemes from our first conflicts with Sailor Moon?"
Ahzek says: "That was not what I was suggesting at all. That plan of Jadeite's failed for good reason if you recall. No, what I was thinking...well, this might sound rather ridiculous to you."
 "No plan is ridiculous if well-thought out enough." Beryl reassured him. For all her aloofness and cold-heartedness, Queen Beryl still cared about those beneath her and even against her. Kunzite could see, for a moment, a smile.
 Ahzek says: "Yes. Well, I was thinking: what if, instead of stealing energy from humans, we stole energy from food?"
 "Energy from food?" Beryl replied. "Surely you jest. Queen Metalia desires human energy, not food energy."
 "I do not." Kunzite said. "And I will tell you why, for my logic is sound. Sure, it may not have the same emotional connection as human energy, which is what Metalia feeds on. But if we stole energy from food, then it would be bland, tasteless and nutritionless. Humans would be susceptible to mass energy harvesting when they're weak enough from hunger. And harvesting energy from food? Surely the Rangers would think it was too ridiculous to even investigate!"
 Beryl pondered it over. "So, harvesting energy from food is just a front? Why did you not say that in the first place?"
 "Because as every good pitchman knows, you must first sell a ridiculous idea before selling a practical one." Ahzek interrupted.
 "Yes, exactly!" Kunzite said.
Zolsite says: "I don't remember Ahzek asking for YOUR opinion!"
Kunzite says: "No one ever seems to, unless Queen Beryl needs me to create another Youma, which inevitably gets destroyed! Need I remind you, it was MY idea to create the Love Bug, which is the ONLY reason why Lettuce is acting the way he is in the first place!"
Ahzek says: "That's the one thing I don't understand. The Love Bug was designed to make people/beings, fall madly in love with other people and/or beings, not food. What gives?"
Kunzite says: "Something I couldn't have anticipated. Apparently, Lettuce's 'Real' love for Pinkie Pie, over-rode any feelings for anyone else that the Love Bug could make him feel. So, she settled on making him fall in love with eating food. However, that oversight may work to our advantage in this case!"
Zolsite groans in detest, and says: "I hate it that YOU'RE the lucky one!"
Queen Beryl says: "Instead of complaining, why don't YOU make a Youma, to keep the Rangers from being distracted from stopping this evil plot of ours?!"
Ahzek asks: "With Zolsite's WEAK skills, you're JOKING, right?!"
Zolsite angrily asks: "What's THAT supposed to mean?!"
Ahzek says: "Even when Kunzite and Zolsite worked together to create a Youma, Fruit Freak, the Thunder Rangers STILL managed to take it down, and it was ONLY their first mission! With two teams of Rangers working about, the result would be FAR worse for us! And while I don't doubt your Youma making capabilities, we CAN'T just keep making Youma forever! After all, Radiguet will eventually make his way back to Core Earth! And I can only PROTECT Queen Beryl, I can't fight a war against Radiguet and his forces for you!"
Kunzite says: "So what do YOU suggest?"
Ahzek says: "I, myself, will attack the Rangers and carry out this plot! Besides, with my access to powers from the Chaos Realm, I'm the ONLY one who can successfully accomplish this plot!"
Zolsite says: "You DO know how dangerous it is for anyone, even YOU, to access powers to the Chaos Realm? The Chaos Realm doesn't CARE who you are, or what powers you have; they'll corrupt you all the same, and you'll lose sanity and composure, the longer you use them! You could become NOTHING but a host for a Chaos Realm demon, if you use those powers for too long!"
Ahzek says: "I only need to use these powers, long enough to generate power to revive Queen Metalia! We're currently at 30% capacity for the energy needed to revive her. If I set my sights for bringing that total to just 60%, that should speed up our plans enough to revive Queen Metalia, without putting any long-term ill effects on my overall sanity and composure."
Kunzite asks: "But what if BOTH teams of Power Rangers attack you?!"
Ahzek, with absolute DEAD seriousness, says: "Than may SLA'NEESH have mercy on my soul, if such a thing exists! Farewell!"
And Ahzek disappears in a puff of smoke! Zolsite says: "Is it just me, or are we losing hired help by the Galactic Standard Month?!"
Kunzite says: "Rest assured, you'll never see ME performing NO suicide mission against the Power Rangers; Thunder OR otherwise!" /
The action shifts back to the Command Center. Coop looks over the very fat Lettuce, and he says: "This is WORSE than the time Yin and Yang ate nothing but SWEETS for a month, and nearly got themselves cooked and eaten by a witch for their naivety! Or so I've heard!"
Lettuce cries in anguish, and bellows: "I'm so hideous! Pinkie, how can you love a man who such a humongous FREAK?!"
Pinkie says: "I've seen much worse! YOU never had to deal with Tirac, he nearly DESTROYED Equestria, and he WOULD'VE, if Discord didn't betray HIM!"
Usagi says: "This is PRECISELY what happens, when you don't take care of your health!"
Samson says: "He's going to have to exercise the fat off, and eat nothing but low-calorie, healthy foods, that's all there is to it. That's how I gained MY muscles!"
StarHawk says: "That only fixes PART of the problem! The question is, how do we make it so Lettuce doesn't go BACK to eating unhealthy foods?"
Lettuce says: "I haven't felt the desire to eat healthy foods since Love Bug tried to zap me with her love ray!"
D.O.G.'s eyes light up, and he says: "Say that again!"
Lettuce asks: "The part about being a humongous freak?"
BlackHawk says: "No, the part where Love Bug zapped you! Queen Hedrian, how are your magic skills?! Can you diagnose Lettuce?"
Queen Hedrian says: "I'm a former evil galactic conqueror! Not a dietician! But yes, I can and WILL diagnose him!"
Queen Hedrian waves her wand over Lettuce's stomach, and visualizes the content of Lettuce's stomach, and everyone is SHOCKED at the image! Naruto says: "No WAY!!!!"
And everyone sees a BUNCH of Love Bug viruses attacking the hormones and other cells of Lettuce's stomach, causing Lettuce to growl in hunger! Queen Hedrian rolls her eyes, and says: "Boy, if I had a dollar for EVERY TIME some brain dead idiot had the 'Bright' idea, to try to attack somebody with an eating disorder from the INSIDE of their body, I'd have at LEAST five dollars!"
Pinkie says: "It's just like the time Mirror brainwashed me to crave NOTHING but sweets! A few of you remember the ordeal you had to go through in order to stop me! So, the cure should be just as simple!"
Omnus says: "If only that were the case. That was a mere spell you were under, Pinkie. This is monster viruses inside of Lettuce's body. The thing of it is, HE'S hungry, but with Love Bug viruses inside of him, aggravating his body, THEY are getting ALL of the nutrients, while Lettuce gets NOTHING but the unhealthy filler!"
Lettuce asks: "So, it's not my fault I'm like this?"
Krash'ir says: "Oh, no! You're not getting off the hook THAT easily! You DID let your own hubris get to this point! And now, it's going to be your own possible blood, sweat, and/or tears that's going to help you get out of this, not necessarily in that order!"
Lettuce asks: "Can you ask Captain Retro to train me, like he did some of you guys?"
Scrappy-Doo says: "I already TRIED calling him, but apparently, he's on vacation in Albuquerque, New Mexico!"
Coop is puzzled, and asks: "Albuquerque?! What's he doing in Albuquerque?!"
Scrappy-Doo says: "Dang it if I know what his reason is!"
Patsy says: "You mean you DIDN'T get an answer from him?!"
Scrappy-Doo says: "Not exactly, but I did get SOME kind of message from him!"
He holds up a vintage 2021 smart phone, and Scrappy-Doo says: "Do you want to hear the message I got?! I'll tell you the message I got!"
He plays the message, and inexplicably, a snippet of Weird Al Yankovic's hit song "Albuquerque" plays! Weird Al sings: "If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again. If you need help, hang up and then dial your operator. If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again. If you need help, hang up and then dial your operator in Albuquerque. Albuquerque."
Scrappy-Doo turns off the cell phone, and he says: "And THAT'S just the part of the message that was actually RELEVANT! The whole thing LASTED for like, eleven minutes or something!"
Alpha 8 asks: "So, no other news from Captain Retro?"
Scrappy-Doo says: "Well, he DID text me to say that he was otherwise indisposed, but he would be sending a surrogate helper to aid in helping out Lettuce."
Omnus asks: "A surrogate helper? Who would THAT be?"
Scrappy-Doo says: "Now that, I'm not sure. But he...she...whatever! Goes by the initials 'M. M.' as their stage name."
Lettuce says: "Well THAT'S maddeningly unhelpful!"
Omnus says: "In any case, someone will have to make SURE Lettuce exercises and eats right! And by 'Someone', I mean Scrappy-Doo!"
Scrappy-Doo asks: "Wait! Why me?!"
Alpha 8 says: "Well, we do have to send ONE team of Rangers inside of Lettuce's body, in order to fight the Love Bug viruses, and completely eliminate them! Otherwise, Lettuce will inevitably go back to eating junk food, no matter HOW strong his will power is! No offense, Lettuce!"
Lettuce says: "None taken, I think!"
Firehawk asks: "And what about US?! May I dare ask?!"
(WHIR! WHIR!) And as if RIGHT on cue, the alarms in the Command Center go off! Alpha 8 says: "Aye-yai-yai-yai-yai! Ahzek is zapping all the food around the world with some kind of energy, but our sensors are unable to detect and lock down on it!"
BlackHawk's eyes widen in horror, and he says: "I can feel that energy. That's NOT mortal energy, that's energy from the Chaos Realm!"
Naruto says: "He WOULDN'T! Would he?"
Patsy says: "I'm a little new here, but what's the Chaos Realm?"
BlackHawk says: "It's a HORRIBLE place! The Night Master once sent me there when I was six! I only lasted the equivalent of six Core Earth minutes there, but ever since then, my body's had an energy connection to that place! Anytime someone uses energy utilizing Chaos Realm abilities, I can sense it! It's also part of the reason why I was able to seal General Krush back to the Chaos Realm in the first place! Since I had been there, I could seal IT back!"
Coop says: "But the Chaos Realm can't be THAT horrible; can it?"
Krash'ir says: "Well, the rest of you haven't even BEEN there! I COME from the Chaos Realm, don't tell ME what the Chaos Realm is like! You go through what Usagi and I had to go through, THEN you can tell us whether or not the Chaos Realm is THAT bad or not!"
D.O.G. asks: "What DID you have to go through?"
Usagi sourly says: "You do NOT want to know! Take MY word for it!"
Queen Hedrian asks: "What could Ahzek POSSIBLY be thinking?!"
Usagi says: "There's only ONE possible explanation; some kind of plot to speed up Queen Metalia's resurrection!"
Pinkie says: "They're still ON that whole thing?!"
StarHawk says: "Well, what else could it be? Their forces are formidable, but even if Queen Beryl utilized ALL her Youma forces against Radiguet, the chances that SHE could win would STILL be very slim, and that's ONLY if Radiguet HASN'T been level grinding, WHICH I highly doubt!"
Patsy says: "Than Lettuce can wait until later! We'll fight Ahzek, to!"
BlackHawk says: "This time is different! Ahzek is NOTHING like Love Bug or Fruit Freak! If Ahzek is willing to utilize Chaos Realm powers at the cost of his own sanity, he MUST be desperate to get Queen Metalia revived in a hurry! After all, Queen Metalia may be the ONLY being that COULD actually stand a chance against Radiguet's full power! If Ahzek gets backed into a corner, he'll get desperate. And the DESPERATE villains are ALWAYS the most dangerous villains to watch out for!"
Samson asks: "So, what should we do?"
Omnus says: "Thunder Rangers, you'll proceed into Lettuce's body as planned! If my guess is correct, Ahzek must be zapping the food items of Core Earth, in order to induce something similar that Lettuce is going through right now!"
Coop asks: "Wait! If Lettuce is eating because he's technically NOT getting the calories, than Ahzek MUST be zapping the food items, in order to DRAIN the calories from them! Without the proper nourishment, many will panic, and that would just about DOUBLE the current energy capacity needed for Queen Metalia's revival!"
Queen Hedrian looks dumbstruck, and she says: "That's...actually pretty spot-on, Coop."
Coop says: "I had a VERY tough Fifth Grade course! There's no WAY I wasn't going to learn SOMETHING from it!"
Krash'ir says: "Anyways, how are we supposed to fight the Love Bug viruses, anyways?"
Alpha 8 pulls back a curtain, and reveals a ship that wouldn't look out of place on "Fantastic Voyage"! D.O.G. says: "WOAH! And I thought my younger brother was retro, in terms of references!"
Coop says: "Billy and I modified this thing ourselves! It may look simple, but where it counts, it's REALLY got a lot! But, we're in bit of a rush; so, I suggest we get on with it!"
Omnus says: "Right! Everyone except Lettuce, intercept Ahzek and stop him! Removing his ties to his Chaos Realm powers will reverse his effects! Thunder Rangers, morph, and head into the Interbody Ship! But be careful; just because the Love Bug viruses will be tiny, that doesn't make them any less dangerous! And you'll be tiny, as well!"
Samson says: "Just out of curiosity, how LONG will we be shrunk? And I don't mean medically, either!"
Coop says: "The Shrink Ray can keep the Interbody Ship and anyone inside of it, shrunk for one Core Earth hour! BUT...to be on the safe side, let's try and finish this in fifty-five minutes, so we're NOT pushing it! Because, if the ship were to grow back to regular size in Lettuce's body, it would break apart, EXPLODING!"
Lettuce winces, and he says: "I could've LIVED, WITHOUT that unnecessary image in my head!"
Krash'ir says: "I'm NOT going to let it come to that! You better believe it!"
Omnus says: "Scrappy-Doo, you take Lettuce so he can get fit again!"
BlackHawk says: "You might as well use Adam's gym, he gives a 10% discount to Power Rangers, as long as you have the proper identification."
Scrappy-Doo says: "Well, it will cut into MY training, but I'll do it!"
Omnus says: "Right! Rangers, you know what to do!"
BlackHawk says: "Right! It's Morphing Time!" /
A five screen-split shot of Naruto, Usagi, Pinkie, StarHawk, and FireHawk morphing is seen, followed by a solo shot of BlackHawk morphing and saying: "Power of the Sun! Gold!" /
And the normal Power Rangers, minus Lettuce warp to intercept Ahzek! Queen Hedrian says: "Thunder Rangers, its your turn!"
Patsy says: "Right! It's morphing time!" /
Krash'ir says: “Blue Kirin Thunderzord power!”
Samson says: “Red Dragon Thunderzord power!”
Patsy says: “Pink Phoenix Thunderzord power!”
Coop grows to FULL adult height, and he says: “Green Lion Thunderzord power!”
D.O.G. says: "Yellow Korin Thunderzord power!” /
They finish morphing, and Alpha 8 says: "Right! Into the Interbody Ship! Rangers, and keep your wits about you! The molecular world can be an outright nuclear nightmare if you're not careful!"
Krash'ir says: "I've personally been through FAR worse, but I'll take your word for it."
They enter the Interbody Ship, buckle up, and close the entrance hatch! Omnus says: "They're ready, Alpha. Shrink them now!"
Scrappy says: "I sure hope the Interbody Ship's warranty will cover this!"
Alpha 8 turns on a shrinking ray, and zaps the Interbody Ship until it's the size of a medicine pill capsule! Alpha 8 picks up the Ship, holds it over Lettuce's beak, and Alpha says: "Open up, Lettuce! It's time for the pill!"
Lettuce says: "Barnacles, I hate the pill!"
But Lettuce opens up, Alpha 8 drops the Ship into Lettuce's mouth, and the tiny ship is quickly sent through the esophagus, straight into Lettuce's stomach! Samson says: "Wow! That was a lot faster than I thought it would be!"
Coop says: "It's Lettuce's hunger! He's not getting any nutrients, so his stomache is desperate to have something fill the void in his body!"
A bunch of Love Bug Viruses surround the ship, and they all talk in unison, like a Hive Mind, saying: "Hello, Thunder Rangers! Remember us?!"
Patsy says: "I'm not likely to forget YOU anytime soon!"
The Love Bug Viruses say: "You may have destroyed our creator, but our presence is alive and well inside Lettuce! You couldn't even take on ONE of her, the last time! How will you fare against an army of us?!"
D.O.G. says: "It will take a LOT more than a CHEAP shot to fight against us THIS time! We've received training from MY brother! Krash'ir, fire up this Interbody Ship and see what it can do!"
Krash'ir says: "All right! But we need to be careful! Remember, we're STILL in Lettuce's body for...how long before we NEED to get out of here?"
Coop says: "53 minutes."
Krash'ir says: "Just until then! Let's ROCK their world!"
And the Interbody Ship unveils their medicinal weaponry, in energy torpedoes and rockets, and begins zapping the Love Bug Viruses! /
Outside of Lettuce's body, Lettuce says: "I'm already feeling SOMETHING happening! They must be returning my body's appetite back to normal!"
Queen Hedrian says: "Good! Scrappy-Doo, can you ROLL Lettuce down to Adam's gym at once, please?"
Scrappy-Doo says: "Why do I have to ROLL him?! Can't you just warp us there?!"
Omnus says: "It WILL burn off some of his calories!"
Lettuce and Scrappy-Doo simultaneously say: "Fine! HEY! How did YOU know I was going to say that?! And THAT?! This is weird! Antidisestablishmentarianism! Seriously?!"
Queen Hedrian can't help but chuckle! Queen Hedrian says: "Sorry! That's actually pretty funny!"
Omnus sighs, and says: "It's a fair cop."
And Scrappy-Doo carefully rolls Lettuce down to Adam's gym. Once they get there, while Lettuce goes through a montage of diet and exercise, the Thunder Rangers go through a montage of destroying all the Love Bug viruses inside of Lettuce's body, all to the tune of Olivia Newton John's, "Physical"! /
Olivia sings: "I'm saying all the things that I know you'll like, making good conversation. I gotta handle you just right; you know what I mean! I took you to an intimate restaurant, then to a suggestive movie. There's nothing left to talk about unless it's horizontally. Let's get physical, physical, I wanna get physical, Let's get into physical. Let me hear your body talk, your body talk, let me hear your body talk. Let's get physical, physical, I wanna get physical, Let's get into physical. Let me hear your body talk, your body talk, let me hear your body talk. I've been patient, I've been good, tried to keep my hands on the table. It's gettin' hard this holdin' back, if you know what I mean. I'm sure you'll understand my point of view, we know each other mentally. You gotta know that you're bringin' out the animal in me. Let's get physical, physical, I wanna get physical, let's get into physical. Let me hear your body talk, your body talk, let me hear your body talk. Let's get physical, physical, I wanna get physical, let's get into physical. Let me hear your body talk, your body talk, Let me hear your body talk. (Guitar solo) Oh, let's get physical, physical, I wanna get physical, let's get into physical! Let me hear your body talk, your body talk, let me hear your body talk. Oh, let's get animal, animal, I wanna get animal, let's get into animal! Let me hear your body talk, your body talk, let me hear your body talk! Let me your body talk, your body talk, let me hear your body talk!" /
And by the time the Thunder Rangers have reduced the Love Bug Viruses to a mere five of them, Lettuce has reduced his fat, not completely BACK to his normal weight, but STILL far lighter and less wide than at his heaviest! Samson says: "All right, Love Bug Viruses, you've got one last chance to make this easy on yourself! Are you going to do this easy, or hard?"
The five Love Bug Viruses simultaneously say: "The Love Bugs choose to do this...HARD!!!! I guess we'll have to get serious!"
They interlock their arms together, and they say: "Group formation, HO!!!!"
And the five Love Bug Viruses merge together, and grow from a 1/16th inch group of five monsters, into a (much bigger seeming to the pill sized Interbody Ship), singular six inch Love Bug parasite! The bigger sized Love Bug says: "How do you like THESE apples, Thunder Rangers? You may have been able to destroy tiny viruses of us, but you'll NEVER destroy THIS gigantic parasite!"
Patsy says: "If I had a dollar for everytime a monster said, 'NEVER', before they got destroyed...well, I'm not sure HOW many dollars I'd have, but I'm SURE it would be a lot!"
D.O.G. activates his communicator, and asks: "Omnus, what should we do?"
Omnus says: "Put the Thunder Cannon into the weapons bay of the Interbody Ship. The Interbody Ship! The energy pulsars will supercharge the weapon, and destroy that virus once and for all!"
Coop says: "On it!"
The Thunder Rangers put their Energy orbs into the Thunder Cannon, and lock it into the weapons bay! The Love Bug Virus Parasite says: "What are you waiting for?! Hit me with your BEST shot!"
Krash'ir says: "Be careful what you wish for! FIRE AWAY!!!!"
And they fire at the Love Bug Virus Parasite, and the blast is FATAL! The Love Bug Virus Parasite says: "Looks like I bit off, more than I could chew!"
And it falls over, exploding! Samson says: "That should take care of Lettuce's hunger problems!"
Coop looks at the time remaining clock, and he says: "And LITERALLY not a minute to spare! Our fifty-five minutes our almost up!"
So the Interbody ship zooms out of Lettuce's body, out of his beak as quick as it can, and zooms outside of Adam's gym, until it's parked into a wide enough space for the Interbody Ship to safely grow back into it's normal size! Patsy says: "That was a wild ride!...Not that I'd WANT to do it again anytime soon! But Coop, why did you want to get out of Lettuce's body in fifty-five minutes? We HAD a whole hour!"
Coop says: "Simple! Because trying to cut it TOO close...!"
And at that moment, the Interbody Ship (and everyone in it,) grows BACK to normal size, and onlookers are understandably surprised (though not shocked, since they've all seen FAR stranger by this point), and Coop finishes saying: "...Is for chumps!"
Lettuce waddles out of the gym, and he says: "Thank you Thunder Rangers, for taking care of my problem! But, why am I still a little chunky?! I've been exercising!"
D.O.G. says: "Hey! A 50 minute montage can only take CARE of so much! It will still require a little bit of work to get back to your normal weight!"
Lettuce sighs, and says: "Understandable."
Lettuce activates his communicator, and he says: "Talk to me Omnus, what's the situation?"
Omnus says: "Lettuce, the other Power Rangers are holding their own against Ahzek, but they need your help to take them down. Thunder Rangers and Scrappy-Doo, stay on standby in case we need the extra muscle for this task!"
Scrappy says: "On it!"
And Lettuce says: "It's morphing time!" /
Lettuce says: "Power of Jupiter! Lightning!" /
And Lettuce warps, and manages to kick Ahzek RIGHT before he's about to punch Naruto! Naruto says: "You really know how to make an entrance, Lettuce! We've been having a TERRIBLE time dealing with Ahzek's Chaos Realm dark light creations!"
Lettuce whips out his hammer, and he says: "Well, it's time to cut the knot!"
Ahzek says: "You think THAT archaic weapon SCARES me?!"
Lettuce says: "It should! Eat THIS!"
And Lettuce swings down as HARD as he can! Ahzek tries to BLOCK the blow with his hands; but apparently, this is what LETTUCE was hoping for, because Lettuce confidantly says: "All right, let's see you fight now!"
Ahzek says: "You've GOT it!"
And Ahzek tries to zap the Rangers, but NOTHING comes out of his hands! Ahzek says: "What did you DO to me?!"
Lettuce says: "The simplest thing in the world! You conduct your energy only through your hands! Physically disable them, and YOU can't use your powers anymore, meaning YOU can't keep your energy connection to the Chaos Realm, anymore!" /
And sure enough, Kunzite and Zolsite watch in horror, as the gauge for Queen Metalia's revival, currently at 60% capacity, drops all the way back down to 35%! Kunzite says: "That stinking little Lettuce! And only 5% more energy obtained after ALL Ahzek's posturing?! This day couldn't get ANY worse!!!!"
Than a loud thunderclap is heard, that they, Ahzek, and the Power Rangers all simultaneously hear! Zolsite, worringly, says: "It COULD get worse, and I think that it's about to!"
Ahzek worringly says: "No! It CAN'T be! My calculations should've been correct! There's no WAY that a Chaos Demon could--AHHH! AHHH! AHHHH!!!!!!!"
Pinkie asks: "What's happening to him?!"
BlackHawk seriously says: "It's just what I was afraid of! Ahzek tapped too MUCH into the Chaos Realm! He's opened a portal, allowing a Chaos Realm to infect and take over his body!"
StarHawk says: "But who would THAT be?!"
Than, to EVERYONE'S surprise, Ahzek's body BREAKS apart, and reveals a familiar creature that Lettuce, Pinkie, Naruto, Usagi, and BlackHawk haven't seen for one FULL season! The reptilian-like creature, General Krush, licks his reptilian lips, and says: "Hey, BlackHawk! Remember me? Because I sure remember you!"
Usagi says: "I can't BELIEVE we have to deal with YOU again! Well, BlackHawk sealed you back into the Chaos Realm once! He can do it again!"
General Krush chuckles maliciously, and he says: "I'm afraid that's not going to work this time. You see, I've taken that factor into account! You see, there's a reason WHY I infected Ahzek. You see, I needed to absorb his mortal body and energy. By doing so, I have shed all traces of my connection to the Chaos Realm, weaknesses included, so you CAN'T send me back to the Chaos Realm!"
Naruto says: "Than we can just simply beat you up! It would be EASY!"
General Krush says: "I have no doubt you'd try! However, you are in LUCK today! I am in no mood to fight you, having just gotten here. And even if I were, I probably wouldn't be able to make full use of my powers as they are! So, I'll bide my time! And as for YOU, BlackHawk, I can't WAIT to pay you back for sealing me BACK to the Chaos Realm, so just watch yourself! We will meet again, HA!!!!"
And General Krush vanishes in a black ray of light! FireHawk sarcastically says: "Anyone care to wager on WHERE General Krush has vanished to?" /
The scene shifts to the Diabolic, General Krush appears, and he says: "If anyone guessed THIS place, they win! I don't know WHAT they win, but they WIN!"
Kraky is startled, and says: "You! What are YOU doing here?!"
Vipera says: "You are NOT welcome back here, and you know it!"
Baphomet says: "You humiliated me and made a fool out of me!"
Drako says: "And forced ME to work with the Power Rangers! Why do you THINK we would let you stay here?!"
General Krush says: "You must forgive me. You see, it was my connection to the Chaos Realm that FORCED me to act that way! I have SHED my connection to the Chaos Realm! I have a mortal body now! True, that means I won't be able to heal as quickly or as effortlessly as I used to be able to, but NOT having to constantly kill for the Blood God on HIS whims anymore; I'd say that advantage FAR outweighs the drawbacks!"
Vipera says: "But WHY would you come back here?"
General Krush says: "Simple. I know that I wouldn't be welcome at Queen Beryl's. You see, I DID have to kind of absorb and kill Ahzek's mortal body, so that my body would in exchange become mortal. But I just want you to know, that I bare no ill will towards any of you for what you did against me. And to prove it, I would like to join your ranks, as a loyal general!"
Kraky says: "We COULD use another soldier! With Circe gone, we could stand to have all the help that we can get!"
Drako thinks about it, and he says: "All right, you're in. But you BETTER behave yourself this time! We will NOT tolerate any funny business!"
General Krush smiles, and he says: "Don't worry. You'll be BEGGING to keep ME!" /
At Queen Beryl's place, she is crying uncontrollably! Kunzite rolls his eyes, and says: "MAN!!!! And I thought Jaedite was bad whenever HE had a bad hair day!"
Queen Beryl says: "Ahzek was my lover! My confidant! My go-to! My muse! How could I ever go on without him?!"
And without missing a beat, who should warp in except Abaddon?! Abaddon says: "Hi, honey! I'm home!"
Zolsite says: "Oh, right! Abaddon! The guy who for some reason, we conveniently forgot about until just now! Where have YOU been?!"
Abaddon says: "Investigating the Chaos Realm, and I just discovered something SHOCKING!"
Queen Beryl says: "That Ahzek's mortal life force has been stolen, and is now being used by General Krush, who has COME from the Chaos Realm?!"
Abaddon is surprised, and says: "Actually, I missed that part! But, I do believe that I may have found the reason why General Krush might have done that!"
Kunzite asks: "Really?! Why?"
Abaddon says: "Simple. General Krush was activating on a prophecy, laid down by Aslan himself! It says; 'The year that is twenty years before the beginning of the 23rd century, will be the END of the Chaos Realm!' Next year IS the year that is supposed to happen! I mean, how else COULD Radiguet possibly be able to take out T'zeene'tch like he was NOTHING?! I'm guessing that's why General Krush chose to get out of the Chaos Realm and leave it behind! He wanted to leave, while he STILL had a chance to do so!"
Queen Beryl says: "So, THAT'S why Radiguet is doing what he's doing! He believes that HE is the one, who will bring an end to the Chaos Realm!"
Abaddon says: "Yes. The trouble is, I'm not sure if that will end up being a GOOD thing, or not! After all, for as long as evil has attacked the forces of good, we've always relied on the powers of the Chaos Realm, directly or otherwise! Without them, how are we supposed to fight against the Power Rangers and their ilk?!"
Queen Beryl says: "Well, Radiguet obviously found a way, if he was able to successfully defeat T'zeene'tch. We'll just have to find a way of our own! And I believe reviving Queen Metalia will be our way, of severing our reliance to the Chaos Realm!"
Zolsite asks: "Do you really believe we can do it?"
Queen Beryl says: "I believe if we put our minds to it, we can do ANYTHING! Now, give MAMA some sugar, my love!"
And Queen Beryl and Abaddon make a GHASTLY display of carnal love, and Kunzite asks: "But what about Ahzek?!"
Queen Beryl increduously asks: "Ahzek WHO?!"
And continues to her love-making as if it were just another Tuesday to her! Zolsite groans, and says: "Oh, boy! This is SIX years of therapy right here! I'm just going to look over THERE and--oh, look! It's a SPONGE Cake! THAT'S what I was looking for!"
Kunzite says: "I SWEAR to Sla'neesh, I will LITERALLY kill myself if they EVER have kids!" /
Lettuce, the Power Rangers, the Thunder Rangers, and Scrappy-Doo, all arrive at an outdoor ampitheater, where Kira Ford has often played in the past. Lettuce says: "So, thank you for, not treating me like a social pariah when I went crazy. I...promise to do my best to NOT get infected by any monster's spell or virus infection anymore in the future. That's the best that I can honestly promise."
FireHawk says: "Well, I'm glad YOU had fun!"
Pinkie says: "And what's THAT supposed to mean?!"
FireHawk says: "I BARELY got to do anything important in this episode...of my life! Even the Thunder Rangers saw more action than ME, and they're just the Auxiliary Rangers!"
Samson says: "You know we're right HERE and can HEAR every single word you're saying!"
FireHawk says: "Than I don't have to repeat myself!"
Lettuce says: "What I really want to know is, why did you bring me to this ampitheater?"
Scrappy-Doo says: "Because Captain Retro says this is where you'll meet M.M., remember?"
Lettuce says: "Well, yes. But I still don't know..."
But before Lettuce can finish his thought, the lights turn on and colored spotlights focus on the center of the stage. A hole opens up, and who should rise out of it, except inexplicably, MARILYN MANSON?!!! Lettuce says: "Is that...Marilyn FREAKING Manson?!!! AHHH!!!!"
And he falls on the ground in utter amazement! Patsy says: "Okay, Scrappy-Doo. Who did you HAVE to bribe to get Marilyn Manson to appear here?"
Scrappy-Doo incredulously asks: "SERIOUSLY?! Why am I always the first to get blamed for everything that even LOOKS suspicious?!"
Lettuce asks: "Oh, Marilyn Manson, how does a growing boy like me eat a healthy, balanced diet?"
Marilyn says: "Well, Lettuce, I'll tell you; the only way I know how."
And Marilyn begins singing "The Food Pyramid Song" from his appearance in the original run of "Clone High".
Marilyn sings: "The ancient Pharoahs were not too bright, they say. But they made one contribution that I live by to this day; it's the food pyramid, and it's approved by the U.S.D.A. Oh, grains are the foundation, so please take my advice. Have five to eleven servings, of bread, cereal, or rice. Three to five of vegetables, and four fruits is best. Their antioxidants and fiber, help you to digest. Three servings of, yougurt, milk, and cheese, will help your bones and subsidize the cattle industries. A body needs to grow, and grow, it takes routines. That's why meat can be a tasty treat like fish or human being."
Coop interjects: "Only if you're a member of the Donner Party from late 1846 to early 1847; but otherwise, it's not recommended in civilized society, or MOST societies, for THAT matter!"
Marilyn sings: "When you eat your sweets, make sure you try, to limit your servings, or you'll DIE!!!! Everybody!"
And everybody else inexplicably joins in singing: "My body is a pyramid, it's made of healthy food, so do what we say, eat right every day. I love you. Buy American."
And everyone claps as the episode fades to black. /
Episode Stinger:
Scrappy-Doo meets up with Captain Retro at the Albuquerque Holiday Inn, in Albuquerque New Mexico. Apparently, Captain Retro is engrossed in playing "Dragonball Xenoverse 2" for the Nintendo Switch. Scrappy-Doo says: "Captain Retro, Lettuce is back to normal weight now! The Magi-Mother wants you to come back to Coastal Falls, now!"
Captain Retro pauses the game, and he says: "It's over? That took LONGER than it ever should have! I've just finished celebrating National 'No Interfering With Power Rangers Plots' Day!"
Scrappy-Doo weirdly asks: "National 'No Interfering With Power Rangers Plots' Day?"
Captain Retro says: "Yeah! It's a whole day dedicated to avoiding any WERID stuff that the Power Rangers have to go through!"
Scrappy-Doo screams: "A DAY?!!!! But you've been away for WEEKS!!!!"
Captain Retro blushes, and says: "Yeah, well, I kind of milked it, a LITTLE!"
Scrappy-Doo shouts: "A LITTLE?!"
Captain Retro, exasperated, says: "Okay! I milked it a LOT! The thing of it is, it was my BIRTHDAY!"
Scrappy-Doo says: "But your birthday's on August 27th!"
Captain Retro says: "I don't experience time flow the same way you guys do! I'm on MY time wave length, and everybody else is on their present/future time length! And besides, weird things, tend to happen on my birthday, and I just didn't feel like dealing with the whole thing, which is why I got Marilyn Manson to do it!"
Scrappy-Doo says: "So, you went on a sabbatical to Albuquerque, New Mexico, to play video games and who knows what else for WEEKS, JUST because you didn't want to deal with whatever Lettuce was going through?!"
Captain Retro groans, and says: "FINE! That's what I did! I never SAID I was PERFECT, you know! But the difference is, at least I ADMIT that I'm not perfect! Also, we are NEVER to speak of this moment to Omnus, or anyone else again!"
Scrappy-Doo says: "No promises!" /
And the episode truly ends! /


Episode Notes: The beginning of the episode, and the end of the episode prior to the stinger was written/suggested by Renegade, the middle and the stinger were written by 4EverGreen. Included songs include "Fat", a snippet of "Albuquerque", "Physical", and "The Food Pyramid Song". Ahzek is killed by an unexpectedly returning General Krush, who absors Ahzek's mortal life force in order to sever his ties to the Chaos Realm, and NOT be able to be sent back there ever again! General Krush goes to work for Vipera, due to the very reasonable assumption that he would not be welcomed in by Queen Beryl. Part of this story was inspired by "Fantastic Voyage", and the ending of the second episode of season one of the original "Clone High". No personal notes this time, because the episode has gone on as long enough as it is. Enough said, true believers!

Well, I initially wanted to put MORE story in, but it's already long enough as it is. So, here is Part One of the long-awaited Mini-Arc that you've all been waiting for! Enjoy! /

(Cold Open)
Words flash on the screen, and they say, "New York City, December 31, 1979; 3:27 P.M."
A fancy, pinkish-white limosuine is seen riding around, all while Blondie's "Heart Of Glass" plays on the car radio. Although we don't see the driver, we get to see the prominent, actual OWNER of the limosuine, a pretty, curly red-haired woman in her early twenties.
Blondie sings: "Once I had a love and it was a gas. Soon turned out, had a heart of glass. Seemed like the real thing, only to find mucho mistrust, love's gone behind. Once I had a love and it was divine. Soon found out, I was losing my mind. It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind. Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind. In between, what I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine. Love is so confusing, there's no peace of mind. If I fear I'm losing you, it's just no good; you teasing like you do."
The driver suddenly turns down the radio, and the woman says: "Come on, turn the radio back up, I like that song!"
The driver suddenly speaks, with a HEAVY Japanese accent, and he says: "Come on, Diane Martin. I don't get why you want ME to drive you around like this! It's postively DEGRADING to me!"
Diane says: "Don't give me that, Dan Masao! Do you know how LUCKY you are to get a job working for me and MY high-class service?! Most Japanese people in your position would be running over each other for that kind of work, especially considering the current climate of high unemployment and high gas prices? Last time I checked, oil prices, and this is just for price of oil per barrel, mind you, were still $12 a barrel!"
Dan says: "Don't get me wrong! It's not that I don't appreciate you giving ME a job during these trying times; I just don't get why YOU have to be the one calling the shots! I'm the one who's SUPPOSED to be the leader of this whole thing!"
Diane says: "Come on! Do you REALLY think that the American people of THIS generation will ACCEPT a Japanese person in charge for ANYTHING? My father, before he got murdered, couldn't even help Shirley Chisolm achieve 152 candidates during her 1972 run for President, and he tried harder than anybody except Shirley Chisholm herself! I KNOW this is not your ideal job, but you got to think about the big picture; you got to pave the way for people like yourself in the future, to do better, and be better than you are. It's how people have advanced for years. It's the secret to the success of MY family, and will SOMEDAY be the secret to YOURS!"
Dan sighs, and says: "You're probably right, Diane; you usually are. We're almost at our destination. We'll soon meet the others."
Dan and Diane pull up right in front of Studio 54. Dan passes the car keys to a five foot, eight inch, long green haired man with IMPOSSIBLY tacky clothes (although they don't see it as such, given the current time); and Diane says: "My good man, please park this limosuine for me in the V.I.P. section for the Studio 54 cars."
The green haired man says: "But I'm not really--."
Diane merely says in a commanding voice: "NOW."
And the green haired man, deciding it's not worth it to argue with such a rich woman, takes the limo, and jerkedly begins to drive it to where it will be parked. Dan asks: "Is he going to be okay?"
Diane says: "My CAR better be okay! If it's not, I'll have the manager, Steve Rubell, dock his pay for reckless driving!"
Dan says: "Relax, Diane. Our fellow, 'Delegates', will soon be here."
And sure enough, there walks up a dark-skinned woman, wearing traditional, full-bodied clothes from Kenya; a stereotypical Russian person, wearing a big furred hat, walking rather oddly, as though he had just gotten through a vendor; and a rather pompous looking French man, who you wouldn't be ABLE to tell WAS French, except for the fact that he was PROUDLY touching a lapel pin on his shirt which just HAPPENED to be in the shape of France's flag! Diane SLAPS the Russian person in his face, and it seems to straighten him up! Diane says: "Come on Ken...Ken...your first name is WAY too complicated for me to pronounce! I'm just going to call you Ken Shiraishi! In any case, just because the people of America EXPECT you to behave in a certain way for what will STILL be 1979 for roughly the next eight hours, that doesn't MEAN you have to hit every single ONE of those stereotypes! I want our group to be BETTER than that!"
Ken, speaking like Yakov Smirnoff (even though he himself had only BEEN in America for two years and hadn't become famous yet), says in a Russian accent: "Oh, is that all I am to you? A drinker who drinks away his cares and worries, and also enjoys a little Caviar on the side? I'll have you know I have a doctorate in science, and I am GREAT in playing Pachinko!"
Diane rolls her eyes, and sarcastically says: "What a great fact! MY SYMPATHIES!!!!"
Ken turns to the dark-skinned woman, and he asks: "Is she being sarcastic with me? I can't tell with most Americans."
The woman says: "First of all, I'd say probably yes. Secondly, and far MORE importantly, I have a name, Shiro Akebano. Why don't you put that in your rolodex, first invented in 1956 by Danish engineer Hildaur Neilsen and first marketed in 1958?"
The French man, with a sterotypical French accent, says: "OY! We got a GENIUS on our group!"
Shiro says: "Well, SOMEBODY has to be, Dash Drew, noted beautician, playboy, Flamenco dancer, and SINCE this is STILL 1979, DANDY who likes to eat Escargot!"
Dash says: "OY! We got a living encyclopedia research expert for our team as well!"
Diane slowly face-palms her face in frustration and says to Dan: "Is this...really the BEST that General Kurama could find?"
Dan says: "Given the fact that the murderer of your father is LITERALLY a blue-skinned alien named Egos SATAN, who can make monsters with some kind of a monster-making machine, I would say that the Chief Special Science Officer of the National Defense Ministry did a FANTASTIC job of locating us and recruiting us, briefing us, AND training us in 72 hours!"
Diane, puzzled, asks: "Chief Special Science Officer of the National Defense Ministry? Is THAT what America is calling a glorified publicity stunt at trying to put minorities into top positions? I expect THAT to fly well with the Southern states on the twelfth of...NEVER!"
Dan says: "General Kurama is an EXPERT at Japanese swordsmanship, and he built this GREAT robot mynah bird named Kyutaro. I ought to show you it someday."
Diane says: "I'll be sure to take you up on your offer...someday. Anyways, General Kurama says that since we need to keep this mission an undercover operation secret from the public, lest they freak out, we need to make our headquarters in this place."
Shiro says: "Why this place? Why not go somewhere that's more easily accessible?"
Diane says: "We have to go somewhere, where NO monsters can access it! And this, is the perfect place! Studio 54; nobody gets in, or OUT, unless they're somebody! And I'm the biggest SOMEBODY in New York City there is! Watch!"
She turns to the big, burly security guards, and she says: "Diane Martin!"
They point their guns at the OTHER people, and she says: "And guests."
And they lower their guns and motion for them to go in. Dan says: "I got to admit, I'm impressed!"
Diane chuckles, and she says: "Wait until you see the gear we've got! You aren't anywhere NEAR to being impressed, yet!" /
Back To The 1980's: Part I, Parallel Lives
After the episode opens up properly, words flash on the screen, and they say: "Coastal Falls, California. Present Day, April 1st, 2179, 3:57 P.M."
A worn-down, weathered, faded pinkish, white limosuine, is seen driving around, with the car playing a VERY worn out, distorted cassette of Blondie's "Heart Of Glass".
Blondie sings (very warped): "Once I had a love and it was a gas. Soon turned out, had a heart of glass. Seemed like the real thing, only to find, mucho mistrust, love's gone behind. Lost inside, adorable illusion and I cannot hide. I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside, we could've made it cruising, yeah."
The driver of this limosuine ejects the cassette out of the player, and a middle-aged, sixty years old woman, with faded, curly hair, asks: "Why did you eject the cassette? It doesn't sound THAT bad!"
A weathered man, with a Japanese (but FAR less noticeable) accent, says: "Of COURSE you don't think it's bad, Diane Martin! You don't think ANYTHING about this car is bad! This, despite the fact that for 41 years, we haven't seen ANY source of action, NO one knows of the heroic deeds WE did! We LOST Ken Shirashi when he was KILLED, and yet you STILL believe that Egos Satan is STILL somehow alive, despite the fact that WE confirmed that we blew UP his body, with the Lightning Sword, Rocket Mode!"
Diane says: "Cut me some slack, Dan! I wasn't WITH you when the battle happened, remember? I was WOUNDED by Ego Dracula very, VERY, BADLY, forcing you to replace me with that Maria woman. Whatever happened to her anyways?"
Dan says: "You're getting me to tell you about the old battles again. Well, when we battled Egos Satan, Maria wanted to be the one who personally finished off Egos Satan, in order to avenge YOU being taken out of comission, as well as Ken's death! But when she fired the shot, Egos Satan EXPLODED into a ball of light, blinding all of us! When the light dissipated, both Maria and Egos Satan had disappeared! We never found a TRACE of either of their bodies!"
Diane says: "So, that just PROVES the possibility that either one of them is still alive!"
Dan says: "What I don't understand is, why have we gotten a call, to come to a place called Coastal Falls, 158 years into the future, no less, for employment now?!"
Diane says: "I got a call from SOMEONE who calls herself Queen Hedrian. She said something about wanting to put our little 'Band', back together, and she says she needs OUR help to make it possible!"
Dan, puzzled, says: "Our little, 'Band'? Is THAT what they're calling us now? And why am I STILL driving you? You STILL passed your LAST Driver's Test!"
Diane coyly says: "Because I'm paying YOU $2 Million a month for every month you drive me anywhere and everywhere WE need to go to safely!"
Dan smiles, and he says: "Fair enough!"
They drive up to the facade of a Command Center, park, and Dan says: "We're here, wherever 'Here', is."
Alpha 8 walks up to them, and he says: "Oh, goody! You made it! Omnus will be SO thrilled!"
A middle-aged, African woman, walks up to the robot, examines him, and says: "Amazing! A fully-functional, automaton! They've REALLY made advances since General Kurama built Kyutaro!"
Diane says: "Shiro, is that YOU?!"
The woman lightens up, and she says: "Diane! You recognized me!"
They hug each other in friendly embrace, and Shiro says: "I thought I'd never see you again!"
Diane says: "Well, it was only thanks to you that I was able to survive the attack from Egos Dracula, I still owed you one.
A Middle-aged man walks up, with a less obvious, less pompous French accent, says: "Is there no recognition for YOUR former husband, Diane Martin?"
Diane says: "Dash Drew, I always KNEW someday, you'd darken up MY limosuine again? Are you STILL carousing with any woman who will give you the time of day, or have you given that up?"
Dash says: "Why, looking for a date?"
Diane says: "With ANYONE but you!"
Dash says: "I give you a daughter, Sydney Drew, I let you KEEP your own last name, I let her keep HER own last name, I help you to groom her to become a force for good JUST like her mother, and this is the thanks I get?"
Diane says: "You know for a fact that the only reason why YOU'RE here, is because Queen Hedrian wanted ALL of us! Speaking of which, where is Jim Makoto, Ken's replacement? He should be here."
And as if on cue, a grizzled, middle-aged, Japanese-American cowboy shows up. Diane says: "So, you're Jim! Glad to finally meet you!"
Diane holds out her hand, but Jim doesn't touch it, or even say anything. Diane says: "Hmmm, not much of a talker, is he?"
Dan says: "He's...a man of action, not words! But, if it wasn't for his trumpet playing, Egos Satan would've NEVER been distracted long enough for us to get the finishing blow on him!"
Alpha 8 says: "Actually, that's WHY Queen Hedrian has CALLED you here! Apparently, she needs to discuss something with you, because, it seems that there might be some 'Unfinished Business' in regards to Egos Satan."
Shiro says: "What kind of unfinished business?"
Alpha 8 says: "Egos Satan had a son. His name is Radiguet, and he's married a brainwashed Maria! He's VERY dangerous! And even though Egos Satan has not been heard from since YOUR battle against him, Queen Hedrian has reason to believe that Egos Satan may still be influencing his son, somehow, from behind the scenes somewhere!"
Dash says: "Wait! You know WHAT we DID?!"
Alpha 8 says: "More than that, we know WHAT you did! We KNOW you were one of the FIRST teams of Power Rangers!"
Diane says: "One of the FIRST?! You mean, there's MORE than us?!"
Alpha 8 says: "You haven't even BEGUN to scratch the surface! But first, I must advise you, I know you've come a long way, but Earth has CHANGED from what you know it. That's why I came out first, to acclimate you to what you're about to see! You have to promise me that you won't freak out!"
Diane and the others look at each other seriously, and she says: "Listen, Alpha 8. Dan and the rest of us have been around the block more than once, okay? There's NOTHING you could show us that would make us FREAK out!"
Alpha 8 chuckles nervously, and he says: "Okay. Omnus, warp us in."
And they all warp into the Power Chamber. Upon being 'Plopped' in, the veteran Rangers pick themselves up, and look in utter amazement, at how FAT technology has come since that late afternoon, of 1979. Shiro gasps, and she says: "I don't believe it! This is amazing! I...I never would've thought that my contributions to NASADA would push technology this far!"
Queen Hedrian walks in, still wearing traditional 1981 attire! Queen Hedrian says: "You're here! I guess that means, you WANT to get 'Burning Up' again!"
Jim seriously asks: "WHAT?!!!"
Dan says: "So you CAN talk! And all this time, we thought you were a mute...not that there's anything WRONG with that!!"
Shiro says: "Well, of COURSE Jim can talk...IF there's anyone WORTH talking to...or ABOUT!"
Queen Hedrian chuckles, and she says: "Sorry! Little inside joke! I guess you kind of had to be there!"
Dash asks: "Be WHERE?"
Omnus appears, and says: "Not 'Where', 'When'."
Diane says: "Okay, this is getting weirder by the minute."
Queen Hedrian says: "I told you to WAIT! You may not be SHOCKING to anyone in THIS day, but think of how JARRING your appearance is, to someone who's standard of weird is late 1970's, early 1980's? Why do you think I WORE this tacky outfit from my 'Glory' days? Certainly NOT because there was a convention in town!"
Omnus says: "Forgive my startling appearance. And you are right, Queen Hedrian. Perhaps my appearance might be a little much. I hope that two of OUR Rangers can help put you MORE at ease! Naruto and Usagi, you can come out now."
And Naruto and Usagi walk out. Usagi says: "Hello, Diane Martin! It's SO nice to finally meet you in person, after having only READ about you, and viewed your archive battles via the Viewing Globe!"
Shiro says: "You mean, there WAS evidence of our battles?!"
Omnus says: "The Viewing Globe is a magical device! It can patch into any orbiting satellite system, specifically zoom in onto any monster threat, and report/record it back to us!"
Shiro says: "That's SO cool!"
Dan says: "So, Naruto, I see you're wearing Red. I guess that makes you the current Red Ranger!"
Naruto says: "You are correct, and I am 100% Japanese, large, and in charge!"
Dan says: "AWESOME! I guess 'Positive Affirmation' worked out after all!"
Usagi says: "Naruto, have you forgotten WHO currently leads the Rangers?!"
Naruto groans, and says: "Sorry...BOSS!!!!"
Dash says: "Or NOT! I guess the MORE things change, the more things stay the same!"
Alpha 8 nervously says: "Well, NOT exactly! Call in the rest of the Rangers!"
Omnus says: "All right. The rest of you, come out."
And the other Power Rangers come out. First Lettuce, than Pinkie, than BlackHawk, than StarHawk, than FireHawk! Diane says: "Well, I KNEW Sydney Drew said SOMETHING about some 'S.P.D.' Program doing something regarding genetic engineering and the like, but I never imagined something like THIS would occur!"
Lettuce says: "We're NOT genetic experiments! We have been called from the vast reaches of the Multiverse itself!"
Shiro says: "The Multiverse?! So there IS more than one! My theory was correct!"
Pinkie says: "In more ways than one! Say hello to the Thunder Rangers!"
And the Thunder Rangers come out! First Patsy, than Samson, than Krash'ir, than Coop, than D.O.G.! Shiro says: "D.O.G.! I remember you! You were the first project I ever worked on! I never imagined that you would be improved THIS much!"
D.O.G. says: "About that, it's kind of a LONG story!"
A familiar voice says: "And you can't mention it without me."
And in walks Captain Retro. Captain Retro cheerfully shouts: "Hello!"
 D.O.G. says: "Of course! Shiro, this is my younger half-brother, Captain Retro! It was his idea to call you here! You see, he keeps track of all Power Ranger history; publicly known or otherwise, and he keeps a watchful eye on our current history to make sure everything's on the up and up!"
And just than, a Baby Aquila flies in and perches RIGHT on top of Captain Retro's head. Captain Retro seriously asks: "Are you...using my head as a PERCH now?! What is WRONG with YOU?! Don't TELL me that you're PICKING up BAD habits from FireHawk?!"
Aquila coos in her native Hawkian tongue, having NOT learned English yet! And Captain Retro understands it, and he says: "I don't CARE if you're MAD that I'm YELLING at YOU! You're a LOT heavier than you LOOK, you know! I SWEAR, I was NEVER that bratty as a baby!"
D.O.G. nervously says: "Like I said, he's a VERY important asset to us! Just trust me on this!" /
The action shifts to the secret Neo Empire Gear Base, where Meison is putting the finishing touches on a project! Meison says: "With all due respect, your rotteness, wouldn't it just be EASIER to put our plan in motion, while Queen Beryl has sent ANOTHER Youma out?!"
The fully cybernetic Dr. Maniac replies: "Once we're done with THIS thing, Queen Beryl will be but a thing of the past. It's time that I regained my RIGHTFUL place as the most INTELLIGENT being, mechanical or otherwise, in the universe! And the BEST part of it is, we'll gain SO much power in the process, that even if the plan ISN'T completely successful, we'll be POWERFUL enough to DESTROY Radiguet and his forces even WITHOUT my plan being completely successful!"
Meison says: "Yes, my evil one!"
And he finishes welding the device! Meison says: "It's DONE!!!!"
And lightning SOMEHOW claps in the room filled with technology! Dr. Maniac says: "FINALLY! After ALL these years of research and working: The TIME RIFT CREATOR!!!!"
Fara says: "Pardon me for asking the OBVIOUS, but, what does it do?"
Dr. Maniac says: "I'm glad you asked. You see, since we seem to be having no luck destroying the Power Rangers in the present, we shall simply have to go BACK in time, to BEFORE the Power Rangers got so powerful! When they were so WEAK and unskilled, even that PATHETIC Queen Hedrian could be a challenge for them!"
Mettzler says: "Can the Time Rift Creator REALLY send people back into the past?"
Dr. Maniac says: "Well, it wasn't CHEAP, OR easy, trying to FIND or BUY or the parts needed to put this together! But YES! This is the CULMINATION of my ULTIMATE dream! The beginning of the END of those STUPID mortal HUMANS, and the RISE of machines, as the NEW, dominant species!"
Farrah Cat says: "But sir, isn't that a bit of an oxymoron? I mean, YOU used to be a mortal human yourself; and machines by strict definition don't have a definitive life--."
(ZAP!!!!) But Farrah Cat NEVER gets to finish her thought, because Dr. Maniac zaps her into ashes RIGHT than and there! Dr. Maniac callously says: "Oh look, that minion died. Kaolite and Villuy, would you clean that mess up please? I expect to continue THAT conversation NEVER!"
Kaolite says: "Of course, sir! We wouldn't DREAM of questioning THAT decision!"
And they proceed to do just that! Dr. Maniac says: "As for the rest of you, Meison, you have shown tireless and unending loyalty to me. As such, you are now, and even retro-actively, my loyal dragon from here-on in AND in perpetuity! As for the REST of you, Mettzler, Fara, and ESPECIALLY Psygorn; you're SICK, you're USELESS, and you're FREAKING psychotic, ALL RESPECTIVELY! You've NEVER had a successful FIGHT against the Power Rangers!"
Psygorn says: "To be fair, it's not EXACTLY like we've had many opportunities to prove our worth!"
Dr. Maniac says: "Well, you'll SOON get that chance! In addition to the Time Rift Creator, I've also had Meison complete the NEO MACHINE ENHANCER! They'll replace your INADEQUATE, INEFFICIENT mortal bodies, with those of new, IMPROVED mettalic MACHINE bodies! You will have more than DOUBLE the strength, wisdom, and speed that you did BEFORE!!!!"
Mettzler gets excited and says: "I could SURE go for that!"
Dr. Maniac says: "And you WILL! You, Fara, and EVEN Psygorn, will be undergoing this process, as well as the rest of my Mecha-Clone army eventually! I'll NEED your strength for the upcoming BATTLE!"
Fara asks: "What battle?"
Dr. Maniac says: "We will ELIMINATE Queen Beryl, the same way she prematurely TRIED to terminate me! Payback is DEFINITELY Scrappy-Doo's Mother, isn't it?!"
Psygorn says: "Do you REALLY think it's going to work?!"
Dr. Maniac looks at him bored, as if it were the most OBVIOUS answer to the most OBVIOUS question in the world! Dr. Maniac says: "Why do you think Kaolite and Villuy have been so busy up until now? They've been trying to contact Queen Galaxia, to ALIGN with us, in overthrowing Queen Beryl!"
Mettzler says: "You couldn't even handle Queen Beryl by YOURSELF before! What makes YOU think Queen Galaxia will be any better?!"
Dr. Maniac says: "Because unlike Queen Beryl, Queen Galaxia APPRECIATES the one thing I do more than anything else in the universe; sheer efficiancy! And since I've had Kaolite and Villuy tell her AND show her the evidence that Queen Beryl has been FAR from efficient...well, needless to say, Queen Galaxia was all too eager to come our way, and she's almost here NOW! In fact, it's TIME Kaolite and Villuy prepared for her arrival! So..."
Dr. Maniac suddenly starts shouting: "Kaolite! Villuy! Are you DONE cleaning up, yet?!"
Villuy says: "Just finished, sir!"
Dr. Maniac says: "Good! You two take Meison and a squadron of regular Mecha-Clones with you to aid Queen Galaxia as the first wave of combat. I need to PREPARE Mettzler, Fara, and Psygorn for their, 'Reconditioning', and make them BECOME the soldiers I've ALWAYS wanted!"
Kaolite says: "But what if the Power Rangers decide to interfere?"
Dr. Maniac says: "Why do you think I had this Time Rift Creator built? With the capabilities of this machine, I can enhance ANY monster that existed in the past! By increasing their STRENGTH, it will boost their powers FAR beyond normal, and ENSURE that any PAST Power Rangers DON'T survive their fight! And NO PAST Power Rangers, equals NO present/FUTURE Power Rangers!"
Psygorn giggles with sadistic glee and says: "And I can't WAIT to MURDER all those lousy Power Rangers, just for YOU, Dr. Maniac!"
Dr. Maniac seriously says: "We'll see. Are we all CLEAR on what is about to happen?"
Meison says: "100%, sir."
Dr. Maniac says: "Good! Than let's get TO it!"
Kaolite, Villuy, and Meison load up in a small fighter space craft, and blast off! Dr. Maniac turns ON the Time Rift Creator, and it begins powering up, as Dr. Maniac PUSHES Mettzler, Fara, and Psygorn into the Neo Machine Enhancer! Dr. Maniac says: "Rift OPEN the 4th dimension, TEAR into the past, and RESHAPE MY FUTURE, into it's RIGHTFUL DESTINY!!!!"
And the Time Rift Creator FULLY powers up, and BLASTS a Time Hole Rift into the Space Time continuum, a blast SO powerful, even RADIGUET can feel it in orbit around Corinth! /
Tranza says: "Did you feel THAT energy? If I didn't KNOW any better, I'd say that it was Dr. Maniac's doing! But...that's CRAZY!"
Gray says: "It IS Dr. Maniac! I'm not sure how, but that can be none other than the CRAZED Doctor himself! I'm certain!"
A brainwashed Maria twitches, and says: "It CAN'T be Dr. Maniac! Human mortals aren't MEANT to be capable of achieving THAT vast amount of energy!"
Tranza says: "Well, it looks like he DID, and I DON'T think that's a GOOD thing, even for US!"
Radiguet says: "On the contrary, I can use this to my advantage! It's a good thing that Dr. Maniac is as STUBBORN as WELL as PRIDEFUL! Otherwise, his USEFULNESS to me would've ended a long TIME ago!"
Eris suddenly appears in his ship again, and she says: "I'm surprised you find SOMEBODY useful! I thought you HATED everybody, INCLUDING yourself!"
Radiguet smirks, and says: "Eris, HOW predictable! TOO predictable, for your own GOOD!!!!"
And lightning ENERGY shackles suddenly wrap around Eris' arms and legs, zapping her Apple of Discord out of HER hands, and into Radiguet's! Radiguet says: "Now, Eris, I wouldn't struggle if I were you. After all, those energy bonds are SPECIFICALLY designed to operate at the EXACT opposite frequency of YOUR powers! If you TRY to break them, they WILL shock you!"
Eris chuckles, like it's STILL nothing, and says: "Come on! Can't you take ONE practical joke?!"
Gray seriously says: "You're asking the WRONG despot! I don't think Radiguet can even comprehend, what a 'Joke' is supposed to be?"
Radiguet says: "On the contrary; I can be QUITE funny if I wanted to! For example; Mary HAD a Little Lamb--BUT I ATE IT!!!!"
And Radiguet chuckles rather cruelly! Radiguet says: "You see, I can be funny!"
Eris says: "And to think, I once thought MANDY was the master of BAD humor! What do you WANT with me?!"
Radiguet says: "Poor, simple FOOL! It's not YOU I'm after! I'm after a MUCH bigger fish--."
A booming masculine/feminine voice shouts over a video intercom wall: "Radiguet, STOP!!!!"
Radiguet says: "At last, on cue. I've been waiting 180 years for this moment, SLA'NEESH!!!!"
The absolutely HORRIBLE looking (even compared to Radiguet's twisted standards) mess of a male/female Chaos God, appears on Radiguet's screen. Sla'neesh says: "You are not FIT to speak my name, nor do you know the CONSEQUENCES of capturing my most FAITHFUL servant! Let her GO!"
Radiguet says: "Not a CHANCE, Sla'neesh, she's MINE now! But than, you would know all ABOUT trying to take something that ISN'T yours, and getting some SICK pleasure out of it, DON'T you, Sla'neesh?! I'm not just talking about that atrocious act you had Usagi and Krash'ir commit with each other, either. But by the very way, you SHAPED me into THIS state of sordid affairs! After I was forced to kill my mother, thanks to Egos Satan being BANISHED to who knows where, I needed someone to GUIDE me on the right way to conquer Earth! I went to YOU for help! I INVITE you into MY ship! I provide you with delectable FOOD and hospitality; and HOW do you repay ME?!!! YOU DROVE ME to levels of insanity that I never THOUGHT were POSSIBLE, you SINGLE HANDIDLY gave me every CONCEIVABLE sexual disease known to humans and several OTHER alien species, you SODOMIZED me and made me 'Squeal like a pig' every single CHANCE you GOT, thanks to YOUR advice, I got BANISHED from Earth for the past 180 years, AND you FORCED me to treat myself for Chylmidia SIX TIMES, which I didn't even know was possible! So, 'FORGIVE' me for NOT acting more CIVIL towards you!"
Sla'neesh callously says: "Sorry, you're going to have to be WAY more SPECIFIC than that! Do you HONESTLY think you're the FIRST alien I've ever wronged? You're nothing more than a footnote, on my LONG list of sexual conquests!"
Radiguet angrily says: "And THAT attitude, is precisely WHY your heinous behavior is about to come to an END! The LOYAL servant of Sla'neesh IS a GREAT, valuable commodity!"
(ZAP!!!!) And the lightning bracelets PAINFULLY zap Eris AGAIN!!!! Radiguet says: "BUT--I MIGHT be willing to make an EXCHANGE, for SOMEONE even BETTER!"
Sla'neesh asks: "And what makes YOU think, I would EVER give myself up, just to STOP your SENSELESS torture?"
Radiguet says: "Because, Eris is ONLY effective in helping YOU, as LONG as her beauty remains intact! Tranza, bring him IN!!!!"
Tranza says: "On it!"
And Tranza pushes a button, that produces a surgeon's operating table around Eris, keeping the lightning bracelets around her for good measure, and a CRAZED surgeon monster comes in! Sla'neesh says: "Radiguet, you FIEND! What are you DOING to Eris?!"
Radiguet says: "First off, let me permit you to introduce you to my loyal monster, Dr. Schlotkin! The most BRILLIANT nose surgeon in the ENTIRE Universe...and Beverly Hills!"
Dr. Schlotkin says: "Pleasure!"
Sla'neesh is puzzled, and asks: "Nose job? I don't understand; she's already HAD a nose job, it was her SWEET 1600th present!"
Radiguet says: "Oh, it's NOT what you think, it's much, MUCH worse! I KNOW that there's a secret CODE to de-power the Chaos Realm, but I don't know what it is. So, if you do NOT give yourself up to me in a mortal body, and TELL me the code for how to de-power the Chaos Realm, Dr. Schlotkin will give Eris back, her OLD FACE!!!!"

Eris Antikensammlung Berlin F1775.jpg
Eris screams: "NOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! Where did you get THAT?!"
Sla'neesh panics, and says: "Okay, okay! I'll tell!"
Eris says: "NO! Sla'neesh, you MUST NOT!"
Sla'neesh sighs, and says: "You're right, Eris. I'll miss your new face. But I'll NEVER tell Radiguet the secret combination, no matter what!"
Radiguet angrily says: "FINE!!!! Dr. Schlotkin, do YOUR WORST!!!!"
Dr. Schlotkin sharpens his already SHARP cutting saws, and says: "My PLEASURE!!!!"
And Eris passes out due to nausea. And as soon as Eris passes out, Sla'neesh screams: "WAIT! I'll TELL! I'll tell."
Eris' table lowers away from Dr. Schlotkin, and Radiguet says: "I KNEW that would work! Very well, what's the combination."
Sla'neesh says: "The combination is, 1. 2. 3. 4. 5."
Radiguet says: "So the combination is, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. That's...THE STUPIDEST COMBINATION I EVER HEARD OF IN MY LIFE! That's the kind of combination an IDIOT would have on his LUGGAGE!"
Sla'neesh says: "I didn't pick it, Khorne did! I wanted to go with a really TOUGH password; Swordfish! Anyways, you got what YOU wanted, now, let ERIS GO!!!!"
Radiguet says: "Don't worry, I'll release Eris, as SOON as you take a mortal form and take her PLACE! Remember, it's YOU, or her FACE!!!!"
Sla'neesh says: "You're a MONSTER, Radiguet!"
Radiguet says: "I WOULD be flattered, but you have no one to blame but yourself! So tell me, in hindsight, WAS sexually torturing me REALLY worth it, Sla'neesh?"
Sla'neesh says nothing, and instead warps itself into Radiguet's ship in a mortal body, and replaces Eris in the operation table. Radiguet than walks up to Sla'neesh, and SLAPS him in the face! Radiguet says: "How does it FEEL to not have the protection of the Chaos Realm to PROTECT you from every type of pain that YOU inflict upon others? IT HURTS, DOESN'T IT?!!! Imagine having to FEEL that pain every single day for THREE HUNDRED DAYS! It's AMAZING I can FEEL anything at ALL!"
Sla'neesh says: "So what are YOU looking for, an APOLOGY CARD?!"
Radiguet says: "Oh, it's WAY too late for apologies, 180 YEARS too late! Although, in a weird way, I guess I SHOULD thank you. If it weren't for the way YOU treated me, I NEVER would've learned what ALL Chaos Gods are like! While their loyal servants do all the DIRTY work for them, they just sit around comfortably getting FAT or something! You have lost TOUCH with the REAL world, Chaos Gods, you GREW complacent! Well, it's time that I woke you ALL UP!!!! I intend on making every single ONE of you pay ME back for the DAMAGE you inflicted upon me and everyone else at least TEN fold! Consider it INTEREST built from the last 180 years!"
Sla'neesh says: "As IF! There's no way YOU could EVER be a threat to the Chaos Gods!"
Radiguet chuckles and he says: "T'zeen'tch thought the very same thing, and I TRAPPED him in a Way Stone for all HIS troubles!"
Sla'neesh panics, and says: "PLEASE! Not that! Anything but THAT! Pleasure is my life! FEELING is my life! If you trap me in a Way Stone, my reason for living will be taken away!"
Radiguet's eyes light up with interest, and he says: "BEGGING, are we? I remember how I BEGGED for you to give me a brainwashed version of MY mother back to me, and you NEVER did! Well, BEG for me, and see how I decide to respond to YOU!!!!"
Sla'neesh slyly says: "Do you want to know the TRUTH about your mother?! She was a VERY loyal servant of mine, and your father was a servant of Khorne! Our idea was to merge the BEST of our forces together, when they gave birth to you! In 1980, one year after you were born, Egos Satan got BANISHED to a ghostly netherworld, leaving Emperess Jooza to raise you herself! Than, when the time was right, I BRAINWASHED your mother to ATTACK you! Initially, I wanted your MOTHER to be the victor, and become my 1,000th married concubine! But, you HAD other ideas! And came BACK to kill your mother instead! Do you know how angry that made me feel? I SWORE that I would teach you YOUR place in the universe no matter what it took!"
Radiguet hollowly says: "Teach me my place?"
Than Radiguet screams: "TEACH ME MY PLACE?!!! It was YOUR FAULT I HAD to KILL MY MOTHER?! It's YOUR FAULT SHE'S DEAD?! And you have the condescending NERVE to tell me it was all about teaching me MY PLACE in the universe?! That TEARS IT! I know I'm normally NICE enough to spare TWO of each species, but because of THAT information, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that I'm SIMPLY going to have to KILL every single ONE of your followers except for Eris! It's the ONLY way I'll be able to hold on to any SEMBLANCE of my SANITY!"
The brainwashed Maria twitches, and says: "Please, Radiguet, calm down! There would be absolutely no BENEFIT to trying to KILL every single one of Sla'neesh's followers; why go to all the hassle?"
Radiguet asks: "HASSLE?! You listen to ME, Maria! This is CALLED a 'Public Service'!"
Gray sarcastically says: "You have GOT to be kidding me!"
Radiguet says: "Tranza, WATCH this! This will be GOOD education for you!"
Tranza zooms off, and QUICKLY comes back with a large, buttered popcorn, and a large, Diet Pepsi. Tranza excitedly says: "This is going to be good!"
Radiguet inputs the code onto his ship, and sure enough, it INSTANTLY cuts off power to all CURRENT Chaos Realm demons, and their Gods! Sla'neesh says: "Even WITH the Chaos Realm's power cut off, there is no WAY you could KILL every single one of my followers, and I would LOVE to see you TRY!"
Radiguet glares evilly, and he says: "Oh, you WOULD; WOULD YOU?! Be careful what you WISH for, you just might GET IT!!!!"
And Radiguet once again quickly powers up a gigantic DEATH BALL, and Sla'neesh says: "WOAH! That's MUCH bigger than T'zeen'tch's Death Ball!"
Radiguet says: "Spare me your FALSE flattery!!!!"
And Radiguet BLASTS The Death Ball into Sla'neesh's section of the Chaos Realm, detonates it RIGHT in the middle of it, and the resulting explosion spreads outwards, quickly REDUCING every single one of Sla'neesh's followers (save for Eris), in it's wake! Sla'neesh is completely stunned, and says: "WOW! I...didn't think you COULD actually do it!"
Radiguet says: "Now, do you see the RESULTS of my TIRELESS training?! I have spent every WAKING moment of the past 180 years, dedicated to the SOLE pursuit of becoming STRONGER than the Chaos Gods! I have SUCKED the souls out of HUNDREDS of beings to keep myself as YOUNG as I was when you FIRST violated me, just so when the time CAME for me to collect my restitution, you would SEE the same face you DID 180 years ago, only with the positions REVERSED! But don't worry, I won't degrade you the same way you did me! There's no act of sexual depravity that YOU wouldn't actually enjoy! So instead, we'll just go straight to the source, where I collect MY payback for ALL the crimes you've committed!"
Radiguet starts punching Sla'neesh in the face HARD, and Radiguet yells: "This is for brainwashing my MOTHER!!!! This is for FORCING me to KILL HER!!!! This is for infecting at least TWO past United States Presidents with your SICK, DEPRAVED mindset! This is for SODOMIZING me! This is for FORCING Usagi and Krash'ir to do the NASTY with each other...I mean, come ON!!!! Even I have more decency than THAT! And THIS is for forcing me to treat myself for Chlymidia six times!"
Sla'neesh wearily says: "Khorne and I, the only reason we EVER did this; after the untimely death of Dark Spectre, we DREAMED of creating the most POWERFUL villain in the universe to replace him...AND we succeeded."
Sla'neesh's face, now TRULY looks as ugly on the outside, as Sla'neesh is on the inside! Radiguet says: "So, you think that means I OWE you anything? HARDLY! I've waited 180 years to get payback, and I'm going to GET it! Usagi was satisfied with merely beating you, but I won't make HER mistake! If I'll let you live, you'll just continue to inflict your POISON across the universe; so, I'm going to do the universe an actual favor, and RID the universe of YOU!!!!"
And Radiguet grabs a machine gun from Dr. Schlotkin, and BLASTS Sla'neesh the FULL 100 rounds with it! Than he grabs ANOTHER machine gun from Dr. Schlotkin, and BLASTS Sla'neesh ANOTHER full 100 rounds with it! Radiguet than grabs a standard shotgun from Dr. Schlotkin, and blasts him a full six times! Than Radiguet grabs another shotgun from Dr. Schlotkin, and blasts Sla'neesh ANOTHER full six times! Tranza says: "WOW! Now I know what the definition of 'Overkill', looks like!"
Radiguet sighs contentedly and says: "On the contrary, I think that was the perfect amount of 'Kill'. Unless there's a nearby star where we can BURN Sla'neesh's body!"
Gray sighs, and says: "Of course, Master!"
They quickly zoom to Corinth's sun, and BLAST Sla'neesh's body into it, incinerating it into there is nothing left. Tranza says: "You know, you COULD'VE just turned Sla'neesh into a Way Stone."
Radiguet says: "True. But after hearing about just how DEPRAVED Sla'neesh was, and being REMINDED of what he did to me, I decided that I didn't want to take ANY chance of having HIS spirit infecting me! Now he is DEAD, and he will STAY dead!"
Eris wakes up, and she says: "Is it TRUE?! You KILLED Sla'neesh?!"
Radiguet says: "I did you a favor! Consider ourselves EVEN! You WASTED my time fighting Power Rangers on Corinth, only to find out Venjix was defeated a long time ago! So, I return the favor by using you as leverage against Sla'neesh and it's minions by destroying them! But don't worry, you'll be SPARED, as LONG as you don't get any FUNNY ideas about TRYING to come onto this ship again!"
Eris picks up her Apple of Discord, and says: "As far as I'm concerned, YOU WON'T see ME again! You USED to be fun, and actually cool! But now, I wouldn't even SPIT in your direction! Good day, SIR!"
And she warps off of Radiguet's ship! Radiguet says: "Well, so much for THOSE loose ends! I guess it's time for us to travel back to Core Earth! It's a shame it's so far away! Gray, how long will it take for us to get back there?"
Gray says: "Even if we go full throttle all the way, it will STILL take us 250 Core Earth days to get back there! Core Earth ain't just across the street, if you know what I mean!"
Radiguet says: "Oh well, it can't be helped. Maria, prepare the hibernation chambers for all of us. Besides, I NEED to recharge my energy for the Power Rangers. In 249 days, we'll wake and be right on the doorstep of Core Earth."
Maria sighs, and says: "Yes, sire." /
The action shifts back to the Command Center, where Lettuce finishes saying: "...And that's basically the whole story about what's happened to us until Queen Hedrian summoned you here. I know it was a lot to take in, but we figured it was better to tell you now, as opposed to later."
Shiro says: "Don't worry, I understood it. I'm not sure if DREW did!"
Drew says: "Come on! Why pick on ME?!"
Coop says: "Well, you DID lose Diane Martin! From what I understand, she was QUITE the looker back in the day!"
StarHawk says: "And even today, she's STILL pretty beautiful, considering she's almost 64!"
Diane says: "Thank you!"
Captain Retro comes back in, and he says: "I was FINALLY able to put baby Aquila to sleep! It took me long enough!"
FireHawk says: "It's a SHAME you don't like kids, Captain Retro."
Captain Retro says: "Who said I don't like kids? I like kids just fine, as long as they don't behave like a pair of rabid hyenas! No offense to actual hyenas!"
Than suddenly, Krash'ir twitches, and she suddenly TRANSFORMS into her Krystal guise! Usagi asks: "Krash'ir, why did you CHANGE into Krystal just now?!"
Krash'ir seems shell-shocked, and she says: "I...couldn't help it. It's like, my connection to the Chaos Realm was just suddenly cut off! I...I can't feel my blood lust anymore. It feels like it's...gone."
Captain Retro says: "Radiguet!"
D.O.G. asks: "How?"
Captain Retro says: "Radiguet got Sla'neesh into an offer it couldn't refuse; it's life, for Eris' beauty. Of course, Sla'neesh just HAD to be arrogant and make it worse! So I expect that Radiguet will--."
But at that moment, an earthquake RATTLES the Command Center, Alpha 8 says: "Aye-yai-yai-yai-yai! Our sensors are practically going haywire!"
Naruto looks at the Viewing Globe, and he asks: "What the HECK is THAT?!!!"
They look at the Viewing Globe, and they see a purple, glowing vortex above where Devil's Tower USED to be! Captain Retro asks: "Is that a TIME RIFT?!!! That CRAZED Dr. Maniac has created a Time Rift in SPACE!!!!"
Jim says: "So, I take it Time Rifts are NOT a good thing?"
Captain Retro says: "Hardly! If Dr. Maniac has harnessed the power to create a Time Rift into the time space continuum, he can only be using it for ONE possible reason! He wants to go into the past when Power Rangers weren't quite as powerful as they are now, and eliminate them BEFORE they get stronger powers!"
Krash'ir's eyes open up wide, and she says: "I felt a GRAVE disturbance in the Chaos Realm! I heard MILLIONS of Sla'neesh's followers suddenly CRY out in terror...and than, they were suddenly silenced! I feel as something TERRIBLE has happened to the Chaos Realm!"
BlackHawk says: "Radiguet must have found a way to cut off power and connections to the Chaos Realm! You can't BE Krash'ir, because she's a Chaos Realm demon! But, if there IS no active Chaos Realm..."
Krash'ir says: "Than I can't access my Chaos Realm abilities!"
FireHawk says: "So THAT'S why General Krush came back! He must have anticipated that this was going to happen, and he got out while he still could!"
Captain Retro says: "Radiguet shutting off the power to the Chaos Realm is the LEAST of our worries! What's far more important now, is that the main team of Power Rangers, you're going to have to go to the past, and STOP Dr. Maniac from carrying out his twisted schemes!"
Usagi says: "Sure, but why US?! Diane Martin and her team of Power Rangers actually LIVED through the past, why can't you send them?!"
Captain Retro says: "Because, it's FAR too risky to try sending THEM back to the past! If their past selves were to come into contact with their future selves, it could result in a time-space meltdown that could nullify all of existence, and I don't think anybody wants that, least of all me! However, since none of YOU guys and girls were alive and/or on Earth back than, you can go into the past, no problem!"
Samson asks: "Can't you go with them, Captain Retro?"
Captain Retro says: "Well, I AM going with them, but I have to be incognito! I'll have to disguse myself, because a 5 foot 8 inch anthropomorphic dog is going to be a little conspicuous, if you know what I mean! Oh, Queen Hedrian! I guess you better give magic disguises to the non-human Power Rangers as well."
Queen Hedrian sighs, and says: "Sorry, Pinkie. It looks like you're going to be turned into a human AFTER all!"
Pinkie says: "But I..."
(POOF!!!!) And sure enough, Lettuce, Pinkie, BlackHawk, StarHawk, and FireHawk are all transformed into humans with their respective heights intact, and wearing clothes and punkish, short cut hair styles that wouldn't look out of place in the 1980's! Patsy says: "THAT'S your idea of incognito? They look COMPLETELY tacky!"
Captain Retro says: "EXACTLY! Do you know the CRAZY amount of things that could PASS for acceptible fashion in the 1980's?! They will BLEND right in!"
Omnus says: "You know, I'm surprised that I can't actually argue with THAT thorough logic!"
Krash'ir says: "I wish I could go with you Usagi, but until I can get used to fighting without access to my Chaos Realm abilities, I'd only be slowing you down."
Usagi says: "That's okay, someone needs to stay here and keep an eye on Sally Anne, and there is no one more capable than you!"
Captain Retro says: "Which reminds me, as soon as you guys are done with this mission, you'll have to go into the Nazi Realm and destroy the Dark Kaiser. The trouble is, with this Time Rift open, there's a chance it could STILL affect events in our time! If that happens, it could even affect the Nazi realm!"
BlackHawk says: "Meaning...?"
Captain Retro says: "For example, the Nazi realm itself might still BE intact, but it might not necessarily be Nazi's controlling it. And since this IS Dr. Maniac we're talking about, that might not necessarily be a GOOD thing!"
Lettuce says: "That's a very good point, actually!"
Scrappy-Doo comes up and asks: "And what about us?"
Captain Retro says: "You and the Thunder Rangers will need to stay here. If Queen Beryl, Dr. Maniac, or Vipera try to attack, we'll need someone who can defend Coastal Falls. Which reminds me, Tommy wanted to give you an early birthday present, Scrappy."
Scrappy says: "A birthday present, for ME?!"
Captain Retro gives Scrappy a green box, and he says: "Open it. I think you'll like it!"
Scrappy does this, and his eyes light up, and he asks: "The TIGERZORD Power Morpher?!"
Captain Retro says: "Tommy wasn't going to use it anymore, now that he's retired, and he didn't want to go to waste, so he asked me to find a suitable candidate to use it. And, since we're short on other possibilities, you're currently the best for the job!"
Scrappy honestly says: "Captain Retro, I promise that on ALL things Power Rangers, I WON'T let you down! I may not be the hero that Coastal Falls neccessarily wanted, but I might just be the HERO that Coastal Falls NEEDS!"
Captain Retro says: "I'm sure you'll do fine. Omnus, prepare the Power Rangers!"
Shiro asks: "Where are you sending them?"
Captain Retro says: "They'll be heading to where it all began for YOU, for starters! Back to December 31, 1979. From there, I have determined that the Time Rift will automatically skip forward to whenever Dr. Maniac tries to prepare an attack. In the meantime, the eight of us will have to live Parallel lives, and try not to disturb the flow of history so much! So, don't even THINK about even TRYING to as so much DATE ANYONE, NARUTO!!!!"
FireHawk says: "OOH, he's got YOU pegged, Naruto!"
Naruto shouts: "I have a GIRLFRIEND!"
FireHawk says: "In CANADA!!!!"
Queen Hedrian says: "OOH, BURN!!!!"
Captain Retro says: "All right, knock it off, FireHawk, or Queen Hedrian can make you look like Boy George for the 1980's, and SPOILER ALERT, the 1980's were NOT a great time for Gay people! I'm just saying things are a LOT cooler now! And furthermore, don't try to kill any named monsters if you don't have to. It's going to be difficult ENOUGH for me to manage what is sure to become altered history even WITHOUT additional changes to worry about."
FireHawk says: "You mean, we CAN'T just kill Radiguet as a baby in the past?"
Captain Retro looks at her SERIOUSLY, and says: "No...just, no. Have you EVER heard of 'Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act'? Well, there are THREE justifications for that! In the first place, an alteration to history THAT big and gigantic, could result in history becoming SO messed up that in TRYING to piece it back together, the time-space continuum could collapse in on itself, destroying all sentient life as we know it! Secondly, even if the time-space continuum somehow DIDN'T collapse in on itself, and successfully managed to create an alternate timeline, there's STILL too much of a chance, that history could be changed in ways that you can't anticipate. For instance, even if there technically WEREN'T Nazi's, you might accidentally cause something even WORSE than Nazi's to be created! In other words, 'Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!' Third, and I can't BELIEVE I even have to say this, but, you're talking about killing a BABY, who, from HIS perspective, hasn't DONE anything yet!"
FireHawk stares at Captain Retro blankly, causing Captain Retro to say: "And THAT'S terrible! Suppose EVERYONE had access to time travel, and decided to time travel to any time they wished, just to 'Ret-gone' somebody out of existence! Not only could you accidentally erase YOURSELF from existence, the logistical nightmare of trying to keep history functioning under such circumstances would be a NIGHTMARE for ME and the REST of the Guardians! There ARE limits to the kinds of things even WE can do, lest you FORGET that important fact!"
Lettuce says: "Or to put it more simply, Radiguet is bad, but unfortunately, neccessary for history to stay functional."
Captain Retro says: "Thank you! At least, someone gets it!"
Usagi says: "I wish my fellow Sailor Scouts could see this...I guess I'll just have to settle for telling them all about it once I get back!"
Captain Retro says: "As usual, don't let ANYBODY in the past see you morph if you can ACTIVELY avoid it! Just THINK of the trauma that would create!"
Pinkie says: "I wouldn't dream of it, Retro!"
Omnus says: "All right, we're all clear on what we must do! Scrappy, and Thunder Rangers, morph, and standby for any threats we might have to face on Core Earth!"
Scrappy says: "I've always wanted to say this! It's MORPHING time!" /
Scrappy says: "Tigerzord!" /
And his body shifts into an adult form, and he's now wearing the White Ranger power costume! Samson says: "You know, now that I've seen this costume in person, it DOES look a lot like our Thunder Ranger Power costumes!"
Omnus says: "It should! Since Zordon wasn't able to find the Thunder Morphers back in his time, he simply used his knowledge and memory to create a brand new morpher, based on those powers!"
Coop says: "That explains a lot! Anyways, time for the rest of us! It's MORPHING time!" /
Krash'ir, in her Krystal form, says: “Blue Kirin Thunderzord power!”
Samson says: “Red Dragon Thunderzord power!”
Patsy says: “Pink Phoenix Thunderzord power!”
Coop grows to FULL adult height, and he says: “Green Lion Thunderzord power!”
D.O.G. says: "Yellow Korin Thunderzord power!” /
D.O.G., looks at their now FULL team, and says: "Somehow, this just feels right to me."
Lettuce says: "All right! It's time for us to kick BUTT and take names, preferably Dr. Maniac's!"
Usagi asks: "Captain Retro, are you going to bring your Master Morpher with you?"
Captain Retro says: "I NEVER go time-traveling without it!"
Patsy says: "I'm SO jealous! You have GOT to tell me how you GOT one of those, one of these days!"
Captain Retro says: "I'll tell you WHEN you're old enough!"
Patsy says: "I HATE having to wait!"
Diane Martin says: "Wait until you're older, and your body might start betraying you in OTHER ways!"
Captain Retro says: "In any case, Power Rangers, you must go through the Time Rift first while I make sure it stays open and doesn't close in on you. Once I go in, we won't be able to go back until we've done what we've set out to do."
BlackHawk says: "Understood! Let's go!"
And the Power Rangers warp to where Devil's Tower used to be, close to the Open Time Rift! Omnus says: "Captain Retro, you know what YOU have to do, don't you?"
Captain Retro sighs, and says: "Yes, and I know that I won't like it. While I function incognito as a human, I'll have to ensure the creation of RETRO music in the past! After all, without Retro music to inspire me in the future, what WOULD I do once I got back?! And, I'll ALSO have to make sure Dr. Maniac doesn't TRY to kill Radiguet, as unheroic as THAT seems!"
Dash asks: "Are you REALLY going to do that?"
Captain Retro says: "Of course I am! After all, I believe that no act of kindness, however small, is EVER wasted! Not even on someone like Radiguet!"/
The Power Rangers arrive to where Devil's Tower used to be! Usagi says: "I don't think I'll EVER get over Devil's Tower not being here!"
Naruto says: "You said it!"
Captain Retro arrives, and uses his Chronomancy powers to keep the Time Rift open! Captain Retro says: "All right, we have no time to do this fancy, so just do this fast!"
BlackHawk says: "Right! No time like the present..."
StarHawk says: "...Or the past!"
Lettuce says: "Power Rangers, warp!!!!"
And they jettison up into the Time Rift! After they all go in, Captain Retro sighs, and says: "Well, here goes SOMETHING!"
And Captain Retro starts changing into impossibly tacky clothes from the late 1970's/early 1980's, but goes through the Time Rift before we can SEE the form he changes into! /
Shiro says: "Well, it's all up to them now!"
Dan says: "It STINKS that we can't help them out on this!"
Samson says: "Trust me by experience, there is NOTHING those Power Rangers can't do once they put their minds to it!"
Diane Martin says: "I hope you're right, Samson. I hope you're right." /
To Be Continued...

Sorry for the delay; but at long last, here is the second part of the mini-arc currently in progress! Enjoy! /

(Cold Open)
Dr. Maniac's Mecha-Clone Army, led by Kaolite and Villuy, are soaring through space in 1980's styled futuristic fighters, and they've got their sights on Queen Beryl's compound! A mysterious female voice comes through over their intercom's. She says: "There's the DELINQUENT'S hide-out, just where Dr. Maniac said it would be!"
Kaolite chuckles, and she says: "Naturally, QUEEN Galaxia! Dr. Maniac thought it would be ONLY fitting for us to LEAD you to the WELCOMING party that will be Queen Beryl's FINAL day on her THRONE, and the FIRST day of YOURS!"
Villuy says: "Just remember; in exchange for giving YOU the power of HER throne, and access to Queen Metalia; you will let Dr. Maniac's Neo Machine Gear Empire, have full reign over mechanizing ALL of Neo Earth's populace!"
Queen Galaxia chuckles, and she says: "While Dr. Maniac's concerns are HARDLY mine, I suppose LETTING Dr. Maniac have a SMALL victory compared to our LARGE one, won't make much of a difference to US in the LONG run! He DOESN'T suspect YOU two yet, does he?"
Kaolite chuckles, and she says: "NOT a clue! The short-sighted Doctor will NEVER see what's coming! He has NO idea that we're SIPHONING the energy to his Wormhole Creator, in order to open a link to the Nazi realm! Once it IS open, we will USE all the Youma at our disposal, to overwhelm the PATHETIC Nazi humans there! Once we do, THAT realm will be ours; and all those Nazi's shall become POSSESSED by Youma's, FITTING for the traitors to human kind that they ARE!"
Queen Galaxia's ship is FINALLY revealed, and inside, a deceptively YOUTHFUL and pretty looking female with blond hair and golden armor, who APPEARS to be about 20, with Queen Galaxia's VOICE, chuckles: "I couldn't agree more! All TRAITORS must be PUNISHED for their treachery! Queen Beryl and Abaddon will JUST be the first! I think it's TIME we made MY official coronation announcement!"
Villuy says: "Fire on MY command! In 3, 2, ONE!!!!"
And the three of them, including all the Mecha-Clone fighters, begin FIRING on Queen Beryl's compound! Benzite says: "What is going ON here?! Why is the ground SHAKING so much?!"
Kunzite says: "Our sensors indicate it's NOT an earthquake!"
Abaddon says: "My mistress, perhaps you better scan the skies to see what's causing the disturbance! We don't want Queen Metalia to be awoken with ONLY a fraction of her power!"
Queen Beryl scoffs, and she says: "It's PROBABLY nothing!"
Queen Beryl scans the sky with high-power binoculars, only to gain a VERY sour-looking face in the process! Abaddon says: "Well, what's the verdict Queen Beryl?"
Queen Beryl turns around, and in her MOST despaired voice, she says: "Abaddon, I think we're in TROUBLE!!!!" /
"Back To The 1980's Part II: Burning Up!"
When the episode starts proper, words flash on the screen, and they say: "New York City, December 31, 1979; 3:26 P.M."
A galactic portal appears on the top of the Studio 54 building, SURPRISING Ken Shiraishi, who just HAPPENS to be drinking up there! Ken asks: "Am I THAT drunk?!"
And out of the portal, walks out a five foot, eight inch, long green haired man with IMPOSSIBLY tacky clothes. He looks around New York City, and in CAPTAIN RETRO'S voice, he says: "Mos Eisley Spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy!"
Captain Retro chuckles to himself, and he says: "I ALWAYS wanted to say that line!"
Ken asks: "WHO...or, WHAT; in the world are YOU?!"
Captain Retro says: "My name and identity are unimportant to you! Just remember, I'm on a mission to save THIS time, and my own! Also, lay off the 'Sauce'! A, it's bad for you. B, you're setting a BAD example for your fellow Russian's. And C, you have SOMEWHERE you need to be, soon!"
Ken sighs, and he says: "Oh, all right!"
And Ken makes his way down the fire escape in the back! Captain Retro checks his watch (since he WASN'T allowed to bring his cell phone from HIS future) and Captain Retro says: "Speaking of, I've got somewhere I need to be, SOON! I've got to WARN Diane and the others!"
Captain Retro shimmies down into a dark alley, and makes his way to the front of Studio 54! Captain Retro checks his watch again, and he says: "Made it with JUST enough time to spare!"
And sure enough, at that moment, Dan and Diane pull up right in front of Studio 54. However, without ANY warning, Dan passes the car keys to CAPTAIN Retro, and Diane says: "My good man, please park this limosuine for me in the V.I.P. section for the Studio 54 cars."
Captain Retro tries to protest, and says: "But I'm not really--."
Diane merely says in a commanding voice: "NOW."
And CAPTAIN Retro, deciding it's not worth it to argue with such a rich woman, takes the limo, and jerkedly begins to drive it to where it will be parked. Once he's OUT of Diane's sight, he activates his communicator to the present time of 2179, and says: "Omnus, I'm in a bit of a situation here!"
Alpha 8 says: "WE'RE in a situation in OUR time, to! Queen Beryl's PALACE is being ATTACKED!"
Captain Retro has to QUICKLY swerve to avoid SEVERAL irate taxi cabs, and Captain Retro yells: "WHAT?! By WHOM?!!!"
Omnus sighs, and he says: "Queen Galaxia, summoned by Dr. Maniac himself; PURELY to secure Queen Metalia out of SPITE against his former employer!"
Captain Retro says: "By all rights, Queen Galaxia SHOULDN'T be involved in this! Dr. Maniac must be planning something TRULY diabolic in relation to the Nazi realm!"
Queen Hedrian says: "He's HARDLY the only interested party! I over-heard Kaolite and Villuy talking with Queen Galaxia on my PRIVATE Pirate radio! Let's you hear ANY frequency, ESPECIALLY yours! Anyways, they're SIPHONING the energy that Dr. Maniac is using from his Wormhole Creator, to create a rift to access the Nazi realm! They're GOING to get RID of all the leaders there, and infect ANY remaining Nazi's, in order to have them be POSSESSED by Youma's!"
Captain Retro has to SWERVE to avoid missing a bus, and he says: "Well, just have the Thunder Rangers deal with it until we're able to come back! Speaking of, where are the OTHER Power Rangers?! None of them have contacted me!"
Alpha 8 says: "I HATE it that you're asking me that! You KNOW we get HORRIBLE Internet reception for anything that happens PRE 1981!"
Captain Retro says: "Than you better hurry up and FIND someone! I have to PARK this limo!"
Queen Hedrian says: "I didn't even KNOW you can drive!"
Captain Retro says: "I'm NOT supposed to! I only HAVE my DRIVER'S permit, and I NEVER envisioned myself having to make my WAY, through such INSANE New York traffic! At least I've finally FOUND a parking lot! You would THINK New York City, even in 1979, would put their parking lots a LOT closer to their important BUILDINGS! At least I'll be able to park, and than I can--."
But Captain Retro is INTERRUPTED, by Mecha-Clones on motorcycles trying to BLAST his car! Captain Retro says: "Oh, GREAT! I SO didn't need THIS distraction right now! Well; guess I'll just have to do what I ALWAYS do while playing the arcade version of Cruisin' World released in 1997; drive like CRAZY!!!! I sure hope Diane picked some good DRIVING music!"
And Captain Retro puts in the Blondie cassette, and sure enough, Blondie's "One Way Or Another" starts playing! Captain Retro says: "All right! Now THIS; I can work with!"
During the song, Captain Retro keeps driving in SUCH a way, he FORCES the Mecha-Clones on motorcycles to either CRASH into other cars, against walls, or into each other, and they explode upon each impact! / Blondie sings: "One way, or another, I'm gonna find ya; I'm gonna getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha! One way or another, I'm gonna win ya! I'm gonna getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha! One way or another I'm gonna see ya; I'm gonna meetcha, meetcha, meetcha, meetcha! One day, maybe next week; I'm gonna meetcha, I'm gonna meetcha, I'll meetcha! I will drive past your house, and if the lights are all down, I'll see who's around! One way or another, I'm gonna find ya; I'm gonna getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha! One way or another, I'm gonna win ya! I'll getcha, I'll getcha! One way or another, I'm gonna see ya! I'm gonna meetcha, meetcha, meetcha, meetcha! One day, maybe next week; I'm gonna meetcha, I'll meetcha! And if the lights are all out, I'll follow your bus downtown! See who's hanging out! (Guitar Solo plays) One way, or another, I'm gonna lose ya; I'm gonna give you the slip! A slip of the hip, or another; I'm gonna lose ya, I'm gonna trick ya, I'll trick ya! One way, or another, I'm gonna lose ya; I'm gonna trick ya, trick ya, trick ya, trick ya! One way, or another, I'm gonna lose ya; I'm gonna give you the slip! I'll walk down the mall, stand over by the wall; where I can see it all, find out who ya call! Lead you to the supermarket checkout; some specials and rat food, get lost in the crowd! One way or another I'm gonna getcha, I'll getcha, I'll getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha! (Where I can see it all, find out who ya call) One way, or another, I'm gonna getcha, I'll getcha, I'll getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha! (Where I can see it all, find out who ya call) One way or another, I'm gonna getcha, I'll getcha, I'll getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha! (Where I can see it all, find out who ya call)!" / And the song ends as Captain Retro FINALLY manages to park the limo in a PERFECT position!
Captain Retro says: "WOW! I'm a better driver than I THOUGHT! Not a SCRATCH on this car!"
(PEW!!!!) And one last surviving Mecha-Clone, blasts the limo, giving it the worn-down, weathered, faded pinkish, white limosuine look it HAS in the future! Captain Retro angrily says: "Oh, why you LITTLE--!!"
And without even BOTHERING to announce his attack, he simply BLASTS the Mecha-Clone with the energy coming out of his right hand! Captain Retro sighs, and he says to himself: "NEVER tempt FATE; ESPECIALLY when you're in the past!"
However, Usagi's voice comes through the communicator, and she asks: "Captain Retro, where ARE you?!"
Captain Retro says: "I had a situation I had to deal with! I already met SOME of Dr. Maniac's 'Friends'; where have YOU been?!"
BlackHawk's voice comes through the communicator, and he says: "I'm not sure! By all means, we SHOULD'VE been here before YOU have; but the Wormhole seems to have diluted the times that we've come through the Wormhole! You were just the first!"
Captain Retro says: "Okay, I got YOU two accounted for. Anyone else?"
StarHawk's voice comes through the communicator, and she says: "I just got here myself! So, I don't know where everyone else is!"
Captain Retro says: "Speaking of, where are you, anyways?"
Usagi says: "Well, the three of us are where we NEED to be! On top of Studio 54! I just heard and saw Diane and her friends go in!"
Captain Retro says: "Than it won't be long before Dr. Maniac sends the Main course! You three help the Battle Fever Power Rangers deal with it as best you can until we can find out where the others might be!"
StarHawk asks: "Aren't you coming to help?"
Captain Retro sighs, and he says: "I can't at the moment. I'll explain later, but...I have a LIMO that I'm going to have to see if it can be fixed!" /
The camera switches to Usagi and the others, and BlackHawk says: "Do you think we should tell him that Diane's limo is GOING to end up looking wrecked no matter WHAT he does?"
StarHawk says: "I wouldn't. It would probably just make him feel worse!"
Usagi says: "And besides, we don't have the time! We need to get INTO Studio 54, ASAP!"
BlackHawk asks: "But how are WE going to do THAT?! None of us are exactly V.I.P.'s during THIS time, Usagi!"
Usagi says: "Maybe not. But I DO have a plan...and I'm NOT going to like it!" /
Usagi, and the disguised BlackHawk and StarHawk, make their way towards the Studio 54. Usagi says: "Okay you guys! Just let ME do all the action; and under NO circumstances, are ANY of you to let Krash'ir know what I had to DO to get us in here!"
StarHawk says: "Neither of us would EVER dream of it!"
Usagi approaches the front door, and the guards bar her way with Billy Clubs! The White Guard says: "I'm sorry; but under Steve Rubell's personal orders, I'm afraid I can't let anyone in unless you're on the registered guest list!"
Usagi BLUSHES her cheeks, bats her eyes, and in her most SEDUCTIVE voice, says: "Are you SURE you can't make an EXCEPTION, for ME?!"
And the camera pans to Usagi's back-side, as she DELIBERATELY unbuttons her top JUST enough, to let the guards get a VIEW of the EYE CANDY! The African-American Guard says: "I thought only Dolly Parton had JUGS that big! Look; we're let you and your friends in, if you allow us to PLEASURE you!"
Usagi buttons back up, and she says: "I think SOMETHING can be arranged, just let us INSIDE, first!"
The White Guard says: "Just to let you know, WE don't do this for just ANY--."
But as soon as they get INSIDE the building, Usagi CONKS the two guards together as HARD as she can, and they are knocked unconscious! Usagi opens the front door, and she asks: "Well, aren't you coming in?"
BlackHawk asks: "You mean, you WEREN'T going to--?"
Usagi finishes: "Allow them to go to town on ME? HELL NO!!!! There are already ENOUGH FAKE images of ME out on the Internet already...in the future! Now, come on! Let's find Diane and warn her what's coming!"
The three of them begin their search, only to IMMEDIATELY run into a very FAMILIAR pink-haired woman! StarHawk says: "PINKIE PIE?! Why haven't you contacted Captain Retro, yet?!"
The disguised Pinkie Pie looks puzzled, and she asks: "Pinkie Pie? WHO'S Pinkie Pie?! My NAME is Diana Manchot! And I'm going to be a FAMOUS pop singer/dancer/actress! And TONIGHT, with my legendary guitarist; Blade the NINE-TAILS, we are going to ROCK the roof of this HOUSE off! But if you know of any good agents, CALL ME!!!!"
And the disguised Pinkie Pie runs off! BlackHawk asks: "Blade the NINE-TAILS? Do you THINK she was referring to Naruto?"
Usagi asks: "Who ELSE could it be? Furthermore, why didn't she recognize us?!"
And as if on cue, Alpha 8 contacts them! Alpha 8 says: "Rangers! Thank GOODNESS the three of YOU are safe!"
StarHawk asks: "The THREE of us? Isn't everyone else safe?"
Queen Hedrian audibly winces, and she says: "Well...Yes, and no."
BlackHawk asks: "What's THAT supposed to mean?!"
Omnus says: "Well, from what our initial Internet scan of the area shows, which is VERY hard to come by over the land-line connection; is that all the OTHER Power Rangers bodies are SAFE, but their minds have become altered...somehow."
Usagi asks: "But if THEIR minds have become altered, why haven't ours changed as well?"
BlackHawk asks: "And where in the HECK are Lettuce and FireHawk?!"
Queen Hedrian says: "Apparently, Lettuce and FireHawk didn't even ARRIVE in New York City at ALL! They're somewhere in Miami; as a cop and a drug dealer respectively, no doubt!"
Captain Retro patches in, and he says: "That seems about right. Anyways, I think the limo's been fixed up as best as it can be, so I'm coming over to Studio 54, now!"
Usagi says: "You won't have to deal with security, than; the way that I did!"
Omnus says: "And you three, along with Captain Retro, were protected by your unique natures. Captain Retro, due to his connection with the Dog Deity Clifford; Usagi, with your Cosmorpher; StarHawk, thanks to your possession of the Phantom Ruby; and BlackHawk, thanks to HIS experiences of having to go through the Demon Realm when he was six!"
Alpha 8 says: "As to why the other Rangers had their minds changed, we don't know that, yet! But, I promise you, that we WILL find out as soon as we can!"
StarHawk says: "All right, keep us posted!"
They turn their communicators off, and BlackHawk says: "All right, now it's time to find--."
But BlackHawk's thoughts are interrupted, when a Disco Ball suddenly LOWERS close to the ground, and it turns INTO a Monster filled with Sharp Mirror Glass! In a heavily robotic voice, it says: "GREETINGS FROM DR. MANIAC! BATTLE FEVER POWER RANGERS, I HOPE YOU WILL ENJOY THIS FIRST OFFICIAL BATTLE OF YOU BEING POWER RANGERS; FOR DISCO BRAWL WILL MAKE IT YOUR LAST!"
Usagi, StarHawk, and BlackHawk jump in front of Diane and her fellow Rangers, and Usagi says: "Don't worry; you won't have to fight this unknown threat alone!"
Shiro says: "We weren't expecting more help!"
StarHawk says: "I wish we had time to explain; but you're going to have to trust us!"
Dash says: "Hey; if they're willing to help us fight, they're okay by me!"
BlackHawk says: "Look; here's the plan! You five morph, and we'll provide you with--."
An unfamiliar voice says: "A DISCO BALL monster? Is THAT the best that Dr. Maniac can come up with?"
And with a blast of yellow energy, Disco Brawl is SUDDENLY extinguished out of existence! Usagi asks: "Did Naruto REMEMBER who he was AFTER all?!"
The unfamiliar voice says: "Not quite!"
All eight Rangers turn around, and they see a purple skinned, reptilian looking alien with NINE tails, red eyes, blond hair, and cat ears, wearing TACKY clothes that wouldn't look out of place in a 1983 fashion show; StarHawk asks: "Who is THAT?!!!"
Queen Hedrian says: "You're asking the WRONG woman! I've never seen HIM while I was active!"
The reptilian alien, speaking with a male voice says: "So, Power Rangers from the future have FINALLY found the place of my initial experiments! It looks like I'll have to move MY workspace to ANOTHER year!"
Alpha 8 says: "This creature's energy ISN'T showing up on our scanners! And we have no idea who...or WHAT he is, and we NEED to find out! I think you're going to have to fight!"
The reptilian alien says: "Okay! Before we start, I just want you to know who I am. I'm no one suspicious; my name is Emperor CATTON!"
Omnus says: "A suspicious character WOULD say he wasn't suspicious! Just what are you up to?!"
Emperor Catton says: "Woah! Why do you got your PANTIES in such a wad?! This isn't REAL history! This is a COPY of real history! You're in a TIME rift! It's completely SEPARATE from YOUR established history! In other words, you can make ANY changes in this history that you WANT; unlike OTHER cases, of course!"
Captain Retro finally arrives, and he says: "It pains me to say this, but according to the Akhasic Records, he's RIGHT! Any changes that are made in THIS time rift wouldn't--."
Captain Retro shakes his head, and he yells: "WAIT A MINUTE!!!! How did HE even KNOW that?! If I DIDN'T suspect him BEFORE, I do NOW!"
Captain Retro turns his attention to Emperor Catton, and Captain Retro says: "So YOU'RE Emperor Catton, right? You seem to know a LOT about the Power Rangers! You BRAINWASHED some of my fellow Power Rangers, didn't you? Return them to NORMAL!"
Emperor Catton says: "Oh, so THAT'S why the hostility! You may not believe this, but I didn't do ANYTHING to your fellow Power Rangers, nor do I have ANY like for Dr. Maniac!"
Captain Retro asks: "WHAT?! Time out! What do you MEAN?!"
Emperor Catton says: "I mean, I can HELP you take care of ANY threat that Dr. Maniac sends YOUR way; and in exchange, all you need to do is to help ME out!"
Captain Retro asks: "Help YOU out, how?"
Emperor Catton says: "Well, to be honest, I've never personally HAD the pleasure of seeing the Battle Fever Power Rangers in action! I want to see how they fight!"
Dan says: "Finally! Some morphing action!"
Captain Retro says: "Phew! The Battle Fever Power Rangers are FINALLY going to morph! That ought to set history straight!"
Emperor Catton says: "But in THE tacky outfits THEY have?! That's SO unacceptable!"
Captain Retro says: "WAIT! What are you DOING?!"
Emperor Catton raises five specially modified "Nintendo" playing cards, and he says: "Now that those Rangers are PERFECTLY trained and at optimum strength, let's see what happens when they're bathed in Royale Waves!"
Captain Retro says: "Royale Waves? Like the kind you find in the specially modified "Nintendo" playing cards of the Battle Royale Power Rangers?! No; STOP!!!!"
But Emperor Catton blasts them with Power Waves from the five specially modified "Nintendo" playing cards, with Dan transforming into Red Spade Ace, Dash transforming into Blue Jack Diamond, Ken transforming into Green King Club, Diane transforming into Pink Queen Heart, and Shiro transforming into White Knight One! Ken says: "Incredible!"
Dash says: "So THIS is what it's like to be a Power Ranger!"
Omnus says: "No, no, NO!!!! Those are ENTIRELY the WRONG transformations!"
Captain Retro says: "Oh, dear! If THOSE are the transformations they learn, we'll NEVER be able to correct history! Queen Hedrian, tell me you've got some sort of plan!"
Queen Hedrian says: "I'm working on it; but the spell is going to take TIME; LITERALLY!"
StarHawk says: "That's the ONE thing we don't have much of!"
Emperor Catton laughs, and he says: "Ha, ha, ha; good luck! Because you ARE going to need it! You're about to deal with FIVE Battle Royale Power Rangers!"
Usagi says: "I was hoping to avoid this; but if THEY'RE going to morph, I am to! It's MORPHING time!" /
Usagi says: "Cosmorpher! Sailor Moon! White Ranger Power!!!!" /
Dan says: "Are you SEEING what I'm seeing?!"
Diane says: "It's ANOTHER White Ranger!"
Shiro says: "GOOD! This will be the PERFECT test for these new powers!"
Ken asks: "I have to wonder, which White Ranger is the STRONGER one?!"
Shiro says: "Isn't it OBVIOUS?! The stronger White Ranger is ME!"
Usagi fires her staff, and she says: "No, ME!"
Shiro fires her swords, and she says: "ME!"
Usagi fires back, and she says: "ME!"
Shiro fires her swords, and she says: "ME, ME, ME!!!!"
Usagi fires a STRONGER blast, and she says: "ME, ME, ME, and ONLY ME!!!!"
Captain Retro looks to the other Power Rangers, and he says: "Two White Rangers in 1979...not sure if the world is ready for that."
Emperor Catton laughs, and he says: "Ha, ha, ha! Twisting up history is the BEST thing EVER!"
Captain Retro says: "Stop this right NOW! We'll NEVER be able to repair this rift if you don't!"
Emperor Catton says: "Quiet; just watch what I'm about to do! The changes that Dr. Maniac and the rest of HIS ilk try to make don't do anything special! I, on the other hand, can ABSORB energy from the changes that I make!"
BlackHawk asks: "Seriously?"
And as if to prove his point, Emperor Catton draws a sword, and SUCKS up purple energy, which takes away the EFFECT of the Royale Waves, and turns the Battle Fever Power Rangers back to normal! Emperor Catton says: "See? The timeline is back to normal; that's because I absorbed the damage energy that Dr. Maniac caused when his forces invaded this time. You're welcome! You have NO idea how long I've waited to MEET other Power Rangers! This is really exciting! Say, can I have a DNA sample to take with me? Nothing much, just a few drops of blood!"
StarHawk incredulously asks: "WHAT?!!!"
Emperor Catton says: "No? That's a shame. Anyways, I got to be leaving here. But DO check in with me again! I would REALLY like to find out more about you!"
Captain Retro says: "Hey, WAIT!!!!"
And Captain Retro rushes to Emperor Catton, but he warps without even leaving a trace! Captain Retro turns around, and he tells the Battle Fever Power Rangers: "So, sorry you initially experienced the WRONG Power Ranger Power's!"
Dan says: "Still, at least now we have some idea what to expect once we transform for real!"
Diane says: "Oh, MAN! Why do I get the feeling we won't be seeing THOSE Power Ranger transformations AGAIN, anytime soon?"
BlackHawk says: "Well, we may not know what Emperor Catton wants, but he doesn't seem to be in league with Dr. Maniac...from what we've seen so far. Still, ALL of us should be on our guard! Until we can figure out how to fix the others, we're still at a disadvantage!"
And as if to prove his point; Pinkie Pie walks up to the Performing Stage, with a guitar wielding Naruto, and she says: "Are you ready to ROCK?!!! Because I sure am! I'm going to sing you a song, that will be written by a woman, who to be honest, will be viewed as a bit of a SLUT!...Not that there's anything WRONG with that! 1, 2, 3, GO!!!!" /
And Naruto starts playing guitar, and he PLAYS Madonna's break-through hit song, "Burning Up!", and Pinkie Pie sings the lyrics: "Don't put me off, 'cause I'm on fire! And I can't quench my desire!"
A young, 19 year old man who looks a LOT like a young Madonna, dials a phone on the Studio 54 bar area, and he says: "Madonna Ciccone, it's your younger brother!...Your younger brother, Cristopher Ciccone! Anyways, I'm hearing this great new song, and I THINK it's the break-out hit that you've been looking for!" And he holds the phone up so Madonna can hear the song better!
Pinkie sings: "Don't you know that I'm burning up for your love? You're not convinced that that is enough! I put myself in this position, and I deserve the imposition! But you don't even know I'm alive! And this pounding in my heart just won't die! I'm burning up! I'm burning up, burning up for your love! I'm burning up, burning up for your love! I'm burning up, burning up for your love! For your love! You're always closing your door! Well, that only makes me want you more! And day and night, I cry for your love! You're not convinced that, that is enough to justify my wanting you! Now tell me what you want me to do! I'm not blind, and I know that you want to want me, but you can't let go! C'mon, let go! I'm burning up, burning up for your love! I'm burning up, burning up for your love! I'm burning up, burning up for your love! For your love, oh! Do you wanna see me down on my knees? Or bending over backwards, now, would you be pleased? Unlike the others, I'd do anything! I'm not the same, I have no shame! I'm on fire! C'mon, let go! (Guitar solo) Do you wanna see me down on my knees? Or bending over backwards, now, would you be pleased? Unlike the others, I'd do anything! I'm not the same, I have no shame! I'm on fire! Ooh, yeah - I'm burning up! Ooh, yeah - I'm burning up! Come on, oh come on - I'm burning up! Uh, uh, uh - I'm burning up! Ooh, yeah - I'm burning up! Come on, oh come on - I'm burning up! Ooh, yeah - I'm burning up! Uh, uh, uh! You know you got me burning up, baby! You know you got me burning up, baby! Burning up for your love! Burning up for your love! Burning up for your love! Burning up for your love!" /
And as the song ends, applause erupts from the crowd, and a middle-aged white man walks up to shake their hands, and he says: "What a fantastic performance! You may not know this, but I'm Seymour Stein; I HAPPEN to be the current president of Sire Records. We have such talents in our ranks like Talking Heads. Anyways, we think that you would BOTH be great additions to our label, and you would be able to collaborate with pretty much ANYONE you want, if you play your cards right!"
Naruto says: "Just to let you know; if someone like Michael Jackson asks ME if I want to play solo on one of his songs, I won't say no!"
Seymour says: "Well, we will see what we can arrange! For now, let's see if we can set up a playing arrangement with my parent label; Warner Bros. Records? I hear they've got this hot new act named Prince, who's been DYING to find a knock-out leading lady to sing with him!"
Pinkie says: "I sure can't wait to MEET the pint-sized powerhouse! Like he sings; 'I wanna be your lover!' I'm referring to Prince, of course!"
Pinkie turns around, and though she's not speaking to the other Power Rangers directly; the other Power Rangers FEEL like she is! Pinkie says: "Thank you for supporting me! I'll be sure to remember you, once I get MY name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!"
Usagi desperately says: "No, wait!"
But Pinkie and Naruto's NEW crowd of followers crowd around the departing singer and musician, and Usagi is unable to get to them as they head out the doors! StarHawk looks at the other Power Rangers, and she says: "Uh, I think we kind of missed the boat there!"
Captain Retro says: "Well, one fact IS clear! When we went through the Wormhole, SOMEONE; probably Dr. Maniac, CLEARLY tried to brainwash all of us into FORGETTING that we were Rangers! I mean, if Pinkie were in her RIGHT state of mind, she would NEVER act like that!"
BlackHawk says: "I quite agree! The question is, how are we going to reach HER and Naruto? If they DO become famous like they intend to, it might become IMPOSSIBLE to get them to go back to being Power Rangers; and I mean 'Impossible,' by EVEN Power Ranger standards!"
Shiro asks: "Is there anything we can do to help you out?"
Usagi says: "Keep an eye on them, when you can. Make sure NOTHING bad happens to them! In the meantime, this is HARDLY the only time we've got to protect!"
And, as if on cue, the wormhole opens up again! StarHawk says: "And speak of the devil!"
Captain Retro says: "Well, I'm not sure WHEN in time you'll end up, or if they'll ever see you again! But, you guys better go through! I have to remain here."
BlackHawk asks: "Why is that?"
Captain Retro sighs, and says: "Because, I have to make SURE Dr. Maniac DOESN'T try to kill BABY Radiguet! We might NOT be willing to damage the space-time continuum, but we know for SURE that Dr. Maniac probably will!"
BlackHawk sighs, and he sincerely says: "Good luck, Captain Retro!"
And Usagi, StarHawk, and BlackHawk go through the Wormhole Portal! Diane asks: "Do you need a place to stay?"
Captain Retro says: "I probably WILL, now that you mention it."
Diane says: "Than you can stay with ME, however long you need to! Besides, I'll need SOMEONE to make sure my mansion ISN'T ransacked!"
Captain Retro says: "A mansion? I like the sound of that! Anyways, so much for the EASY part of this mission! Now, it's time for the main event..."
To Be Continued...

A lot...has happened since the last time I wrote. But, since this next episode is a little long, let's just get right into it! /

(Cold Open)
Words flash on the screen, and they say: "Coastal Falls, California. Present Day, April 1st, 2179; 4:34 P.M."
From the perspective of the Thunder Rangers, the older Battle Fever Power Rangers, and everyone else, it's only been a few minutes since the main Power Rangers have entered into the Time Portal to go back in time to the 1980's. D.O.G., turns around, and he asks Omnus: "What I don't understand is, why couldn't WE have gone back in time to help Captain Retro and the others?"
Omnus says: "In the first place, YOU and Krash'ir were already ALIVE back than! We couldn't run the risk of you accidentally running INTO yourselves and causing a temporal paradox!"
Alpha 8 says: "And secondly, you KNOW that we need to have a Ranger presence here; just in case Queen Beryl or someone ELSE decides to start something!"
Patsy says: "I highly doubt THAT'S going to happen! From MY experience, the 'MAIN characters always end up doing EVERYTHING'; and I've CERTAINLY never done enough things in MY life to qualify as a 'Main character'!"
And at that moment, the alarm in the Command Center goes off! Queen Hedrian says: "Oh, why can't ANYONE ever have an 'OFF' day anymore?!"
Coop groans, and he says: "PLEASE tell me that what I think IS happening; isn't happening!"
Krash'ir (stuck in her Krystal form), turns on the Viewing Globe, and she says: "I'm afraid it isn't good! Some...blonde haired alien human has a gigantic squadron ATTACKING Queen Beryl's compound!"
Omnus says: "That's Queen Galaxia and her cohorts! But by all rights, they shouldn't BE here at THIS time, at this place!"
Coop says: "I TOLD you NOT to TELL me that!"
Samson says: "Well, that's NOT going to change the fact that they are! What should we do?"
(Beep! Beep! Ba-Beep! Beep! Beep!)
Omnus says: "It seems like Captain Retro is contacting us! Alpha 8, patch him through immediately!"
Alpha 8 says: "Yes, of course!"
And Captain Retro's voice comes in, and he says: "Omnus, I'm in a bit of a situation here!"
Alpha 8 says: "WE'RE in a situation in OUR time, to! Queen Beryl's PALACE is being ATTACKED!"
The other Rangers hear screeching and honking in Captain Retro's reception, and Captain Retro yells: "WHAT?! By WHOM?!!!"
Omnus sighs, and he says: "Queen Galaxia, summoned by Dr. Maniac himself; PURELY to secure Queen Metalia out of SPITE against his former employer!"
Captain Retro says: "By all rights, Queen Galaxia SHOULDN'T be involved in this! Dr. Maniac must be planning something TRULY diabolic in relation to the Nazi realm!"
Queen Hedrian says: "He's HARDLY the only interested party! I over-heard Kaolite and Villuy talking with Queen Galaxia on my PRIVATE Pirate radio! Let's you hear ANY frequency, ESPECIALLY yours! Anyways, they're SIPHONING the energy that Dr. Maniac is using from his Wormhole Creator, to create a rift to access the Nazi realm! They're GOING to get RID of all the leaders there, and infect ANY remaining Nazi's, in order to have them be POSSESSED by Youma's!"
The other Rangers hear MORE screeching, and Captain Retro says: "Well, just have the Thunder Rangers deal with it until we're able to come back! Speaking of, where are the OTHER Power Rangers?! None of them have contacted me!"
Alpha 8 says: "I HATE it that you're asking me that! You KNOW we get HORRIBLE Internet reception for anything that happens PRE 1981!"
Captain Retro says: "Than you better hurry up and FIND someone! I have to PARK this limo!"
Queen Hedrian says: "I didn't even KNOW you can drive!"
Captain Retro says: "I'm NOT supposed to! I only HAVE my DRIVER'S permit, and I NEVER envisioned myself having to make my WAY, through such INSANE New York traffic! At least I've finally FOUND a parking lot! You would THINK New York City, even in 1979, would put their parking lots a LOT closer to their important BUILDINGS! At least I'll be able to park, and than I can--."
But than, the other Rangers hear laser blasters over Captain Retro's reception! Captain Retro says: "Oh, GREAT! I SO didn't need THIS distraction right now! Well; guess I'll just have to do what I ALWAYS do while playing the arcade version of Cruisin' World released in 1997; drive like CRAZY!!!! I sure hope Diane picked some good DRIVING music!"
And the feed between Captain Retro and the others gets cut off. D.O.G., says: "Well, Patsy; it looks like Captain Retro is counting on US, now. Looks like you're going to be a 'Main character' after all. Whatever THAT means!"
Scrappy-Doo says: "That means, you'll be needing MY help to, won't you?!"
Patsy says: "Well, seeing as how we're SHORT on options otherwise; we do!"
Omnus says: "I'm afraid we can't just DIVE into this situation!"
Queen Hedrian says: "Why ever not?!"
Alpha 8 says: "For all we know, this might be what Dr. Maniac WANTS! To get rid of BOTH Queen Beryl and the Thunder Rangers in one fell swoop!"
Omnus says: "And besides; I've only trained the Thunder Rangers for individual battles against monsters! They are not yet ready to fight a war for us! And Coop and Scrappy-Doo specifically, shouldn't ever HAVE to!"
Coop says: "Well, we've got to do SOMETHING to protect Core Earth. Don't we? It's what BlackHawk would want us to do."
Alpha 8 says: "I'm afraid that at this time, all we can do is WAIT for Queen Galaxia to FINISH attacking Queen Beryl and inevitably supplant her position! By that point, we'll have a better idea on what course of action we should take!"
Queen Hedrian sighs and says: "I guess what Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers sang in 1981 is true; 'The waiting IS the hardest part'!"
"Back To The 1980's Part III: I Saved John Lennon!"
(Dedicated to Jason David Frank and Seymour Stein).
When the episode starts proper, words flash on the screen, and they say: "Mysterious Void, Unknown Location; December 31, 1979; 5:26 P.M."
We see a big, blank, white void. A colorful, rainbow portal opens into the void, and Emperor Catton steps into it. He walks to the center of the void (even though since he's the only thing INSIDE of it, it's hard to tell WHERE the actual center is), and he looks up to the blank sky, and he shouts: "Chaos God Khorne, show yourself NOW!!!!"
The sky darkens to a sinister black, and a red, visual image opens in the sky, and the image of Khorne, the Chaos God himself, appears in it! Khorne hisses with a sinister growl, and he says: "Well, it SEEMS like your hypothesis that Dr. Maniac would come back to YOUR time was indeed, correct! It seems like I was WISE to entrust this IMPORTANT mission to you!"
Emperor Catton says: "Rest assurred, your highness; I don't take being TRAPPED in this MISERABLE Time Loop lightly! Always FORCED to live through a WHOLE decade and CHANGE, from December 31, 1979 12:00 A.M., to December 31, 1989 11:59 P.M.; always getting CLOSE to seeing a new decade, but ALWAYS sent back to where I started, all because of that STUPID technological BUG that Dr. Maniac placed within me! And WORST of all, none of the changes that I PERSONALLY make ever wind up making enough of an impact to destroy the bug on my OWN power! Luckily, with these Power Rangers running around; they should provide enough power for me to finally DESTROY the bug within me, and I can go to the Nazi Realm on YOUR behalf!"
Khorne says: "And YOU think you would do BETTER ruling that realm, as opposed to Queen Galaxia?" Emperor Catton says: "First off, I DON'T even know who that is! Second, even if I did; it would be irrelevant! Once I gain control of the Nazi Realm, my powers will be GREATER than anything that Dr. Maniac could invent! If Dr. Maniac thought he could DENY me the pleasure of destroying the Power Rangers ONCE and for all, he was WRONG! I plan on repaying his little 'Gift' to me; with DECADES worth of INTEREST!"
Khorne says: "Good! Just don't forget YOUR part of the bargain! You will KILL as many as you can in the Nazi Realm ONCE you arrive there! I will NEED the strength to defeat Radiguet once he arrives to try to FIGHT me!"
Emperor Catton says: "Radiguet; HE'S the one you warned me about, right?"
Khorne says: "The one and the same! He's no ORDINARY mortal if he can imprison T'zeen'etch, and utterly DESTROY Slaneesh! I simply can't ALLOW mortals with THAT much power to be running about, THINKING that he's STRONGER than me! Only I can decide who lives and DIES in this universe; and if YOU were to deliver the 'Coup De Grace' to Radiguet, I could see fit to making YOU the new Pleasure God of Chaos!"
Emperor Catton says: "Well, that all depends on YOUR ability to destroy Radiguet; doesn't it? Don't get me wrong; becoming a Chaos God does sound like FUN and all, but there's only so much time ONE like me can have before he becomes BORED by the whole concept of 'Living Forever'. It's HIGHLY over-rated in my honest opinion! I could care LESS whether YOU survive Radiguet's onslaught or not! Just so long as I get MY revenge against Dr. Maniac, and the Power Rangers as well!"
Khorne says: "Just SEE that you DO! I'd HATE to have to reveal where it is YOU truly come from! Lest you'd have anyone DISCOVER your...humiliating PAST!"
Emperor Catton says: "Rest assured, there will be NO need for that! I'll make SURE your trust in bestowing me the title of 'Emperor', and the ability to absorb the energy from the changes the Power Rangers make; will see ME finally overcome Dr. Maniac ONCE and for all! We're LUCKY that Dr. Maniac is so...PREDICTABLE with his plans! Thanks to HIS brainwashing of Pinkie Pie, Lettuce, Naruto, and FireHawk; they'll waste NO time trying to interfere with MY present! Which, will fit PERFECTLY into our plans! Those Power Rangers have NO idea they are SOWING the seeds of their OWN demise!"
Khorne says: "The Power Rangers are of little consequence to me. They are useful tools to us. No more, no less. When they cease to be useful, you can do what you WISH to them for all I care...provided you actually LAST that long!"
Emperor Catton chuckles, and he says: "I'll make SURE of that!"
Khorne's eyes narrow, and he suspiciously says: "We'll see!"
And Khorne's image disappears, and the blank void turns white again. Emperor Catton sighs, and he says: "Boring conversation anyways! I still have an ACE up MY sleeve! Khorne has NO idea FireHawk isn't even BRAINWASHED! Which...will be PERFECT blackmail material...for ME! Oh, well! Time to see what Lettuce has been up to!"
Emperor Catton puts his right arm forward, and he says: "Chrono Clock, ACTIVATE!!!!"
And a blue, holographic clock shoots forward from his hands, and Emperor Catton says: "Chrono Clock, REWIND!!!!"
And sure enough, the hands on the clock REWIND two hours, to 3:26 P.M.! Emperor Catton powers his power down, and he says: "Perfect! I MUCH prefer seeing the action from the beginning!"
And Emperor Catton shouts: "Void of time, show me Miami, Florida RIGHT now!"
And sure enough, a void opens up to show Lettuce (currently disguised as a human) landing IN Miami, Florida; and he's all dressed up in detective gear! Emperor Catton says: "Interesting MOVE, Dr. Maniac! What are you up to, making Lettuce into a detective?"
As if to answer his question, the camera focuses in on Lettuce's actions, and words flash on the screen, and they say: "Miami, Florida; December 31, 1979; 3:26 P.M."
Lettuce rubs his head and he looks around, noticing he's in some back alley, and he says: "Someone must have spiked my DRINK last night; I have no idea where I am...come to think of it; I don't even remember WHO I am! Where did I come from, and WHY am I dressed like this?!"
Suddenly, a guy bursts out from one of the doors, looking (and sounding) like an older Bob Hoskins before he passed away, and he asks: "Who's making that noise out...YOU!"
Lettuce points to himself, and he asks: "Who, me?"
The guy says: "Yes, you! You must be the new partner that New York City sent to my department!"
Lettuce asks: "New partner?"
The guy says: "Look at yourself! You've got the hat, the coat, the pants, the shoes; you even have your own magnifying glass! Oh, forgive my manners! I got so caught up in YOUR appearance, I didn't even introduce myself! I'm Eddie J. Valiant! Former top Toontown Investigative Detective and friend to ALL toons! Are YOU a friend of toons?"
Lettuce says: "I'm not sure if I've ever MET one...but if they were GOOD, I'd probably be friends with them! Strange, your name seems...familiar somehow. Like I've heard it SOMEWHERE before!"
Eddie says: "Well, I wouldn't doubt that. My legacy IS pretty impressive! But I am getting on in years! I'm looking for someone to learn the tricks of the trade from an old master! To take my place someday! Do YOU think you've got what it takes to do the job?!"
Lettuce asks: "Does it pay well?"
Eddie says: "In money AND respect!"
Lettuce jumps up and he says: "Than I AM your man for the job!"
Eddie says: "Good, than come on in, and we can get started on OUR first case!"
Lettuce says: "What case is that?"
Eddie says: "Security! John Lennon and Yoko Ono are SOMEWHERE in town, and Yoko Ono has called! She's been having these 'Premonitions'. She thinks SOMEONE might try to murder John Lennon after they finish working on their latest album! Not sure who would WANT to do that, but; it's our SWORN duty to make sure NO hunch is uncalled for! We must start our work immediately!"
Lettuce says: "Yes, sir!"
And the two of them go inside the Police Department! The action switches to Emperor Catton's perspective, and he says: "So, a person who shouldn't ACTUALLY exist in a real timeline, does; John Lennon and Yoko Ono AREN'T where they're SUPPOSED to be, and someone is ALREADY plotting to murder John Lennon? I guess THESE changes are better than nothing! But it's NOT enough! No, no; Dr. Maniac! Let's see WHAT happens when we throw one of MY monsters into the Mix! Garbage Duck, get your STINKY butt here!"
A monster warps into the void, looking like a cross between a Duck, and a garbage truck! Garbage Duck says: "My mission is to destroy whoever YOU tell me to destroy; nothing less!"
Emperor Catton strokes his chin, and he says: "Good! You know Pop Legend John Lennon? I'm sure you do. Former Beatle, wears glasses; married to 'Yoko Oh No'? You will go down in history as the monster who MURDERED the legend! Make it look like an 'Accident' if you have to; but I want him dead BEFORE the next year is out! He will give you NO trouble, I promise you that! And be sure to take out ANYONE who tries to interfere with your mission; no matter WHO that is!"
Garbage Duck says: "Never fear! My mission is to TAKE garbage, whatever it LOOKS like; and DESTROY it! You have my word!"
And Garbage Duck warps out of the void! Emperor Catton chuckles to himself, and he says: "Dr. Maniac, you might have gotten the jump on me with YOUR technological prowess! But you will soon find out that when you give someone ENOUGH time, they can find a way to GET revenge on you! You will RUE the day that you crossed, the EMPEROR of the Cat People! Mwa, ha, ha, ha, ha!" /
The action shifts again, and words flash on the screen, and they say: "Outer Space, around Queen Beryl's Palace; April 1, 2179; 4:40 P.M."
Kaolite is flying around in a space ship, and she says: "The operation went EXACTLY as you planned, Dr. Maniac! Queen Beryl's Youma forces were no match for OUR technological superiority!"
Villuy also flies around in a space ship, and she says: "Unfortunately, the Thunder Rangers NEVER showed up! Looks like they DIDN'T take the bait!"
Dr. Maniac's voice comes through over the intercom, and he says: "Lousy Omnus and Queen Hedrian! UGH; they're SMARTER than I thought! No matter, we'll simply deal with them at a later time ONCE we have control of Queen Metallia! Now, storm Queen Beryl's Palace with Queen Galaxia! The energy's of Queen Beryl and Abaddon will be a FEAST to Queen Metalia once they are consumed!"
Kaolite and Villuy simultaneously say: "Sir, yes sir!" And they take their spaceships, and join the rest of Queen Galaxia's forces, as they begin landing around Queen Beryl's Palace! Inside, Queen Beryl and Abaddon are COWERING behind Queen Beryl's Throne!
Abaddon says: "The strike went WORSE than we thought! Our forces didn't even lay a SCRATCH on Queen Galaxia's army!"
Queen Beryl says: "This is INCONCEIVABLE! It's almost EXACTLY as though Queen Galaxia knew EXACTLY how to attack us, and how to CRIPPLE our defenses; leaving us with NOTHING! And where in the HECK are Kunzite and Zolsite when you NEED them?!"
Kunzite and Zolsite appear right beside them and grab them, and they laugh as they say: "We got you RIGHT where we want you!"
Abaddon yells: "TRAITORS!!!!"
Kunzite says: "ONLY to you two! Not to our TRUE queen!"
Queen Beryl yells: "Let us go right now, or I'll have you both DECAPITATED!!!!"
Queen Galaxia says: "I'm sorry, but you no longer have ANY jurisdiction here!"
And Queen Galaxia walks towards Queen Beryls' throne, flanked on both sides by Kaolite and Villuy, and preceded by a bunch of STRONGER looking Youma than the ones Queen Beryl used! Abaddon raises one of his arms, preparing to fire, only for Kaolite to say: "Spare your POINTLESS energy! Queen Galaxia's Youma have been given the Vampirus Fruit, a gift from Master Vile himself! The Vampirus Fruit BOOSTS their powers FAR above that of your AVERAGE Youma! They can take YOUR pathetic attack!"
Quen Galaxia and her procession stop right in front of Queen Beryl, and Queen Galaxia effortlessly lifts Queen Beryl up by the neck! Queen Galaxia chuckles, and she says: "I'm very disappointed in you, Queen Beryl! I don't think you even DESERVE the title of 'Queen'! Dr. Maniac told me that he practically GIFT-WRAPPED the Power Rangers for you on at least two dozen occasions, and you COULDN'T even dispose of THEM!"
Abaddon yells: "You LIE!!!! Dr. Maniac is DEAD!!!! Queen Beryl's Crystal Ball SHOWED us Dr. Maniac being destroyed by a combined Megazord Attack!"
Villuy says: "Dr. Maniac is NOT so easily DESTROYED!!!! Or did you not NOTICE that there was a certain PLACE where Dr. Maniac put all FIVE of his Psycho Serum's?!" /
And Queen Galaxia waves her hands, and replays a soundless replay of the action that happened on Planet Onyx, which Queen Hedrian manages to intercept! The Thunder Rangers, the elder Battle Fever Rangers, and Queen Beryl all see, that Dr. Maniac places all FIVE Psycho Serums into his HEAD, physically injecting ALL of the formula into his brain! Queen Hedrian says: "So THAT'S how Dr. Maniac cheated death!!!!" /
Kunzite says: "As you know, Queen Beryl; the Psycho Serum can BOOST a person's defense; but it can only go SO far! However, I did some research on the matter; and if someone were to place FIVE of those Psycho Serums into his brain at the same time, his BRAIN could survive an attack that destroys the REST of his body; which was Dr. Maniac's intention ALL along!"
Zolsite says: "Dr. Maniac HAD hoped to have you destroyed BEFORE he became the MARVELOUS machine that he is now! But since circumstances were beyond his control; he had to...adjust his plans. But you'd know all about that; WOULDN'T you Queen Beryl?"
Queen Galaxia says: "YOU were to use the FOUR underlings you were GIVEN to your FULL benefit! One of them were DESTROYED by the Power Rangers, and another you KILLED yourself; because you SOMEHOW correctly guessed that he would turn against you! Well, you were right! And because I'd NEVER want a prediction to be WRONG, I can REVIVE anyone that YOU personally had killed; ESPECIALLY Jaedite!!!!"
Queen Beryl yells: "You CAN'T!!!!"
Abaddon yells: "You COULDN'T!!!!"
Queen Beryl angrily says: "You wouldn't DARE!"
Queen Galaxia chuckles, and she says: "Can, could, and definitely WOULD dare! By the dark arts entrusted to me by Master Vile himself, I command the Underworld, bring Jaedite BACK to life!!!!"
And lightning shoots forward, and shapes itself into the Star Shape of a Necromancer, and blue flames erupt forth from it, and Jaedite rises forth from the flames! Jaedite chuckles and he says: "To quote a Thin Lizzy song; the BOYS are BACK in town! Now that I'm back with Kunzite and Zolsite, we will PROVE to you how much more efficient we are, at destroying the Power Rangers than YOU ever could have been!"
Abaddon says: "You can't trust Jaedite! If he's WILLING to betray Queen Beryl, what makes you think he won't eventually TRY to betray you as well?!"
Queen Galaxia mock yawns, and she says: "Oh, don't worry your UGLY little heads about that! Of course, you won't have much longer to worry about anything ANYWAYS! Your efforts to revive Queen Metallia were WOEFULLY inadequate; but your energies might be just the THING to bring Queen Metallia to FULL strength! PITY you won't be able to SEE her destroy the Power Rangers!"
Queen Beryl angrily says: "How DARE you!!!!"
Jaedite says: "You mean, 'How dare I?' Payback is...well to be honest; YOU, isn't it?! See you in the underworld! Oh, wait! No, I won't, because YOU won't BE there!!!!"
And all Queen Beryl and Abaddon can yell is: "NO!!!!!!!!!!!!" As they are zapped with electricity, and zapped into the machine being used for Queen Metallia's revival!
Queen Galaxia says: "Thank you for securing me MY new throne! As a reward, I shall turn you into the TRUE Youma's, which Queen Beryl LONG denied you!"
And she uses her arms to produce blackish-red energy, and gives WINGS to Jaedite, Kunzite, and Zolsite! Kunzite and Zolsite bow their heads in respect! Kunzite says: "Thank you, our TRUE Queen! We will NOT disappoint you!"
Queen Galaxia says: "Oh, you WON'T! I'm SURE you won't!"
Zolsite says: "Just noticing, Queen; the machine says that no new energy has been received because of the addition of Queen Beryl and Abaddon! Is the machine malfunctioning?"
Kaolite says: "No doubt that Queen Beryl and Abaddon are trying to use all their resources to try to FIGHT against being absorbed! But they can't hold out forever; Queen Metallia will win in the end!"
Queen Galaxia says: "Of course she will! Villuy, contact Dr. Maniac at once and tell him Phase One of the plan is complete! He should tell us how to handle the Thunder Rangers and prepare for the eventual mechanization of Core Earth!"
Villuy says: "Soon, every last BEING on Core Earth will become machines; whether they WANT to be or NOT! A planet RIPE for the Youma to inhabit, with all our new machine SERVANTS at our WHIM!" /
The action shifts to the Command Center, and Alpha 8 says: "So THAT'S what Dr. Maniac's true goal has been this whole time! He's WORSE than Robo Rita!"
Omnus says: "I agree! You're just LUCKY Billy kept your blueprints and a back-up file of your memory so that he could rebuild you! Dr. Maniac is just like King Mondo and the Machine Empire before him! What on Core Earth could make a man like Dr. Maniac BE so sick, Sick, SICK?!"
Diane raises her hand, and she says: "Omnus, I'm not sure if this has anything to do with anything; but before I became incapacitated by Ego Dracula, a man named Dr. Rick Sanchez pursued a romantic relationship with me. But, I soon found out his TRUE intentions were...less than noble."
D.O.G.'s ears raise up in alarm, and he says: "Dr. Rick SANCHEZ?!!! That's the PURELY evil Rick, the man Dr. Maniac USED to be BEFORE he changed his name! My goodness, what did he do?!"
Diane turns her head away, and she CRIES into the chest of Dash Drew. Shiro looks at everyone SERIOUSLY, and she says: "He TRIED to sexually ASSAULT her, in the WORST ways possible!"
Dash says: "Diane told me she was able to fight him off. But; I'm not sure if Dr. Rick Sanchez took rejection very well, no matter how WELL justified it was!"
Queen Hedrian shakes her head, and she says: "Hell hath no fury like a deranged psychopath DENIED his SICK, wanton fantasies!"
Krash'ir/Krystal says: "And I thought some of my fellow DEMONS were evil!"
Scrappy says: "Most people I know AREN'T like that! Yes, there are SOME sick people like that; but not ALL of them are! We wouldn't be able to HAVE a functioning society if there were!"
Coop says: "I have NEVER been more disappointed in a villain's motive, than I am by Dr. Maniac's!"
Samson says: "You SAID it! He wants to kill every last biological being on Core Earth and transform them into robots just because ONE woman wouldn't allow him to have his WAY with her?! Boo-hoo-hoo; cry me a RIVER! I had bad luck for at least five seasons...of my life, at Camp Kidney; but you don't see ME freaking out like a JERK and trying to force at least HALF of planet's population into some creepy 'Hand Maid's Tale'; un-fulfillable fantasy for no good reason!"
Patsy says: "And me and the REST of the former Squirrel Scouts TRULY appreciate you for that!"
Omnus says: "Agreed. Having a relationship with everybody isn't ABOUT being the smartest, the strongest, or the toughest; or being SELFISH about thinking only about what YOU want! It's about being able to CARE about someone else's needs, caring about someone else's health and safety, and trying to leave the world a better place than it was before YOU arrived! And Dr. Maniac, has done NOTHING worthy of being able to HAVE someone be in a relationship with him NOW, or EVER!"
Alpha 8 says: "I'd better contact the other Rangers and find out what they're up to!"
And Alpha 8 pushes the Command Center's powers to Optimum Efficiency, to communicate across the time rift! A beep is suddenly heard, and Queen Hedrian says: "We've made contact with three of the Rangers! Alpha, you know what to do!"
Alpha says: "Right!"
And Alpha 8 contacts the Rangers, and he says: "Rangers! Thank GOODNESS the three of YOU are safe!"
StarHawk asks: "The THREE of us? Isn't everyone else safe?"
Queen Hedrian winces, and she says: "Well...Yes, and no."
BlackHawk asks: "What's THAT supposed to mean?!"
Omnus says: "Well, from what our initial Internet scan of the area shows, which is VERY hard to come by over the land-line connection; is that all the OTHER Power Rangers bodies are SAFE, but their minds have become altered...somehow."
Usagi asks: "But if THEIR minds have become altered, why haven't ours changed as well?"
BlackHawk asks: "And where in the HECK are Lettuce and FireHawk?!"
Queen Hedrian says: "Apparently, Lettuce and FireHawk didn't even ARRIVE in New York City at ALL! They're somewhere in Miami; as a cop and a drug dealer respectively, no doubt!"
Captain Retro patches in, and he says: "That seems about right. Anyways, I think the limo's been fixed up as best as it can be, so I'm coming over to Studio 54, now!"
Usagi says: "You won't have to deal with security, than; the way that I did!"
Omnus says: "And you three, along with Captain Retro, were protected by your unique natures. Captain Retro, due to his connection with the Dog Deity Clifford; Usagi, with your Cosmorpher; StarHawk, thanks to your possession of the Phantom Ruby; and BlackHawk, thanks to HIS experiences of having to go through the Demon Realm when he was six!"
Alpha 8 says: "As to why the other Rangers had their minds changed, we don't know that, yet! But, I promise you, that we WILL find out as soon as we can!"
StarHawk says: "All right, keep us posted!" /
Dan, who's been quiet until now, asks: "So, what part are we to play in this whole situation?"
Omnus says: "Well, we have a puzzle; and I've seen this kind of puzzle before. The question is, how do all the pieces fit together? We've only got some of the picture figured out right now; and if we want to get the right answer, than we need to see the completed picture!"
Queen Hedrian says: "I just hope that happens soon, our very present/future is at STAKE!" /
The camera shifts back to Miami, Florida in the past, which is noted by words flashing on the screen which says: "Miami, Florida; December 31, 1979; 3:33 P.M."
We see the inside of a recording booth, and in it, John Lennon and Yoko Ono are adding in their vocals to the pre-recorded instruments, to sing their eventual hit song: "Just Like Starting Over".
John Lennon sings: "Our life together, is so precious together. We have grown - we have grown. Although our love is still special, let's take our chance and fly away somewhere alone. It's been so long since we took the time. No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly. But when I see you darling, it's like we both are falling in love again; it'll be just like starting over - starting over! Everyday we used to make it love. Why can't we be making love nice and easy? It's time to spread our wings and fly, don't let another day go by my love. It'll be just like starting over - starting over! Why don't we take off alone? Take a trip somewhere far, far away. We'll be together all alone again; like we used to in the early days. Well, well, darling; it's been so long since we took the time. No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly. But when I see you darling. It's like we both are falling in love again; it'll be just like starting over - starting over. Our life together is so precious together. We have grown - we have grown. Although our love is still special; let's take a chance and fly away somewhere...alone. Starting over! Starting over!" /
And the tape recorder stops, and Yoko Ono (who sounds surprisingly LESS like Yoko Ono and more like Lucy Liu doing her best impression of Yoko Ono), says: "Well, I'd say that will be a top ten hit next year; won't it?"
John Lennon says: "I'm sure it will, honey. But what I don't understand is WHY you suggested we record HERE? Why not stay in New York City, which is familiar to us?"
Yoko Ono says: "Because BOTH George Harrison and I had a FRIGHTENING premonition! We DREAMED that somebody SHOT you!"
John Lennon asks: "Shot me? Who would WANT to SHOOT me?!"
Yoko Ono says: "If either of us KNEW that, we wouldn't have needed to hire detectives to look into the matter on such short notice! We're just lucky George Harrison was able to come on such short notice to look after Sean while we record Double Fantasy".
John Lennon says: "Yeah, good old George. I was just thinking, if Double Fantasy does well; why don't I go on tour with The Beatles again?"
Yoko asks: "After what YOU said about Paul in that song of yours; 'How Do You Sleep'?!"
John says: "Yoko, you weren't THERE for the truly hectic days of The Beatles; always running around and straining to hear yourself over MILLIONS of girls! You know, Paul and I both DREAMED of making The Beatles into the GREATEST rock and roll band in the entire world...I just never thought we would succeed as well as we did! And...after Brian Epstein died, we allowed our egos to get in the way, and we all said and did things we wouldn't have said had we had good management to keep our egos in control. But, I don't think Paul McCartney's Wings are going to last much longer as a band. George Harrison WANTS to make a new album with the rest of us again. And Ringo? He'd be HAPPY just to drum with us again! *I mean, the 1970's have been such a DRAG, haven't they? Let's try to make the 1980's a little better! Besides, I've been INSPIRED to get back into music again thanks to The B-52's!"*
Yoko Ono says: "I don't know WHAT'S so special about The B-52's; none of the women are even ASIAN, and they ONLY have the one album!"
John Lennon says: "For now. I'm SURE they'll create more! Besides, it's all about the inspirational process! The Beatles 'Rubber Soul' influenced Beach Boys 'Pet Sounds', which in turn, influenced The Beatles 'Seargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'. The more we can make albums like that, the more happy it will make the rest of the world! That's what being a musician is all about, isn't it?"
Yoko Ono says: "You know; you're right. And I just want to state, for the record; I NEVER intended to come between YOU and the rest of The Beatles!"
John Lennon says: "Don't pay attention to the rest of the critics! You NEVER broke up The Beatles! Time broke up The Beatles, our EGOS broke up The Beatles! Really, The Beatles broke up The Beatles! And time can also put us back together!"
Yoko Ono says: "I certainly would like to see that, and see you spending many more years together with me!"
John Lennon says: "I certainly don't have any plans on going anywhere!" /
Meanwhile, outside of the Miami, Florida recording studio; a familiar blond haired man, known as Mark David Chapman, is seen lurking outside the Miami, Florida recording studio. He has a gun, and a communications device in his ear! Suddenly Dr. Maniac speaks into the device, and his voice asks: "Are you in place?!"
Mark nervously says: "Yes, but; this doesn't FEEL right! I shouldn't BE here! I should be in New York City, reading 'Catcher In The Rye', just like--."
Dr. Maniac yells: "I don't CARE whatever anyone ELSE wanted you to do! I WANT John Lennon to DIE, right here and now! Besides, you WANT to impress Jodie Foster; don't you?!"
Mark says: "She's STILL underage! Besides, what interest would I have in Jodie Foster?"
Dr. Maniac yells: "IRRELEVANT! You want a piece of immortality? This is your ONLY way to get it! Now, have John Lennon SHOT, and FOREVER be the HEARTLESS KILLER you were BORN to be!"
Garbage Duck says: "That's NOT going to happen!"
Mark looks at Garbage Duck, and says: "Who, or WHAT are you?!"
Garbage Duck says: "Emperor Anton WARNED me that Dr. Maniac would try to send YOU here; all because Diane Martin used John Lennon's music to INSPIRE her to beat HIM off!"
Dr. Maniac screams: "Diane was rightfully MINE!!!! MINE, MINE, MINE, MINE, MINE!!!! And if I CAN'T have John Lennon killed, I will KILL EVERYONE on this MISERABLE planet, and it will be ALL HER FAULT!!!! Is THAT what YOU and Emperor Anton WANT?!!!"
Garbage Duck says: "That logic WON'T work on me, because even if you HAD your way with Diane Martin, something ELSE would've set YOU off with the SICK mindset YOU have! And besides, the other Power Rangers are GOING to release Emperor Anton so that he can HAVE his revenge against you, so I wouldn't count on seeing YOUR dreams fulfilled; now or EVER!!!!"
Mark asks: "What does any of THIS have to do with me?!"
Garbage Duck says: "Practically NOTHING! You're just a pawn in Dr. Maniac's schemes! And even if you weren't; somebody ELSE would've wanted YOU to shoot John Lennon for their OWN purposes! However, Emperor Anton won't be having that; not THIS time! And since you LIKE 'Catcher In The Rye' so much; I've got a book INSIDE of ME that I think you'll LIKE!!!!"
And Garbage Duck opens his mouth, and shoots out a FLAMING copy of the book, 'Catcher In The Rye', and it shoots RIGHT through Mark David Chapman's chest! All Mark David Chapman can say is: "Somehow...in a cosmic sort of way...I think I probably DESERVE this..."
And he falls over dead! Dr. Maniac, from the still function communication device yells: "Get up! Get UP!!!! Get UP, you WORTHLESS sack of meat and BONES!!!! UGH!!!! That's what I GET for entrusting a MORTAL to do SOMETHING right! Mortals can't do ANYTHING RIGHT!!!!"
Garbage Duck picks up the Communications Device, and talks into it and says: "You would KNOW, wouldn't you? Seeing as you USED to be MORTAL yourself!"
Dr. Maniac threateningly says: "You TELL Emperor Anton, that when I see him AGAIN; I'm going to TAKE the gun that SHOT John Lennon, and SHOVE it down HIS--!"
But Dr. Maniac NEVER gets to finish his thought, because Garbage Duck BREAKS the Communications Device, and stuffs it down his throat! Garbage Duck says: "A little obsolete for my tastes, but it's STILL a good snack!"
Than he hears a cop car siren, and he says: "Someone's coming! I better hide!"
And Garbage Duck transforms himself, into looking like an out of service Garbage Truck! Lettuce and Eddie Valiant soon arrive at the Recording Studio, where John Lennon and Yoko Ono rush out! Yoko asks: "What was THAT sound?! It sounded like SOMETHING hit the wall!"
Lettuce looks at the scene of the deposed Mark David Chapman, and he says: "I don't know WHY, but I think that guy looks FAMILIAR to me!"
All four of them look at the deceased Mark David Chapman, and suddenly, John Lennon starts CRYING! Eddie asks: "John, what's wrong?"
John wipes his tears, and he says: "I don't know. I'm...crying, and I don't know why."
Lettuce looks at the scene, and he notices something! Lettuce says: "He had a GUN on him!"
Eddie says: "Better put on my protective gloves!"
He does so, and he picks up the gun, and opens it up, and it's FULLY loaded! Eddie says: "This man was intending to use this gun for SOMETHING, and I DON'T mean BIRD hunting!"
Lettuce says: "But it looks like SOMEONE, or SOMETHING; got to him first!"
Eddie picks up the burnt copy of 'Catcher In the Rye', and sizes it up to the hole in Mark's chest. Eddie says: "It's a PERFECT fit! Somehow, someone was able to put FIRE onto this book, and fire it at such a velocity, it shot clean THROUGH this Man's body! I don't think a SINGLE vital organ was missed!"
Yoko Ono says: "EW, I guess Happiness really ISN'T a Warm Gun; is it?!"
John Lennon gets disgusted, and he says: "Don't REMIND me! I can't BELIEVE I was EVER in such a mood to record THAT song, even if I DID write it!"
Eddie says: "We ALL make mistakes, John. For instance, I once made a HORRIBLE mistake of hating every SINGLE toon, just because ONE of them killed my brother!"
Lettuce asks: "A TOON killed your brother?! That's terrible!"
Eddie sighs, and says: "Piano on the head. Funny for toons, DEADLY for humans! But, I eventually realized something. Hating an entire GROUP of people, or Toons, just because of something ONE of them did; doesn't make YOU feel any better, and it doesn't CHANGE what happened! You have to learn to make peace with what happens to you. That's the ONLY way you can move on, and become a better person, OR Toon!"
Garbage Duck says: "How about becoming a BETTER piece of Garbage?!"
Yoko asks: "Who SAID THAT?!!!"
Garbage Duck transforms back into his monster self, and he says: "I did! Listen up! Only John Lennon NEEDS to die today! Just STEP away from him and NOBODY else gets hurt!"
Eddie says: "Are you ANOTHER deranged Toon?! Judge Doom didn't scare or STOP me; you can't and won't, EITHER!!!!"
Garbage Duck says: "It matters little to YOU, what I am! And maybe I CAN'T scare you, but I WILL stop you! And if not the EASY way, than it's going to be the HARD way!"
Suddenly, Lettuce's communicator activates: "Beep! Beep! Ba-Beep! Beep! Beep!"
John Lennon asks: "Is that a WATCH?!"
Yoko says: "No watch I know of makes a sound like that!"
Lettuce pushes a button, and Captain Retro speaks through the communicator: "Lettuce, don't hang up!"
Lettuce asks: "Who are you, WHERE are you, and how do you know MY name when I don't?!"
Captain Retro says: "I don't have time to explain any of that now! You're just going to have to TRUST me! You know those bracelets you're WEARING on your arms?"
Lettuce pulls back his detective shirt, and notices the Morpher he's wearing! Lettuce asks: "This ISN'T just a fashion accesory?!"
Captain Retro says: "It's a morpher that will give you power! John Lennon can NOT die here and now, you have to USE your morpher to save him!"
Lettuce asks: "How do I do that?"
Captain Retro says: "By slapping the two bracelets together, and saying; 'It's Morphing Time, Power of Jupiter; LIGHTNING!!!!"
Lettuce says: "I'll give it a shot! It's MORPHING TIME!" / Lettuce says: "Power of Jupiter, LIGHTNING!!"
Lettuce notices his morphed appearance, and he says: "Wow! This feels powerful!"
Eddie says: "You just CHANGED spontaneously! Are YOU a Toon, to?"
Lettuce says: "I'm not sure WHAT I am! But I know that I'm GOING to SAVE John Lennon!"
Garbage Duck says: "You think MORPHING is going to change anything? You'll only last five more seconds even WITH your morphed powers! That's why I didn't even BOTHER trying to attack you while you were talking! At least, this way will be MORE interesting for me! Now, why don't you worry about saving YOURSELF?! Emperor Anton says he picked up THIS spell by looking into the FUTURE, from a villain named Robo Rita, and this spell won't leave a TRACE of you behind!!!!"
And Garbage Duck shoots out a VERY powerful, black beam super fast; and in slow motion, Yoko Ono reacts, and says: "Lettuce, look out!!!!"
And Yoko PUSHES Lettuce out of the way, only to get HIT with the beam HERSELF, and she's pushed into the wall with the deceased Mark David Chapman, and they BOTH disintegrate into nothingness! John shouts: "NO!!!! Yoko!!!!"
Eddie yells: "You're going to PAY for that!"
Garbage Duck says: "Doubtful! And while I can only perform THAT spell once, I have OTHER tricks at my disposal!"
Eddie says: "As a GOOD cop, I don't LIKE to use fire-arms; but since you've left me with no OTHER viable option! I WILL!!!!"
And Eddie shoots his gun at Garbage Duck, but being a part truck with a super tough hide, the bullets just HARMLESSLY impact his chest, and fall off; looking really dented! Eddie says: "You didn't even dodge or FLINCH! This is WORSE than I thought!"
Garbage Duck says: "And here I thought COPS were supposed to be tough! But you bombed WORSE than Ed Wood's 'Plan 9 From Outer Space'! Speaking of BOMBS..."
Eddie's face blanches, and he says: "I know what's coming! Get John Lennon OUT of here!"
Lettuce says: "But I--."
Eddie yells: "Go, NOW!!!!"
Lettuce turns to John Lennon, and he says: "RUN!!!!"
And they run as fast as they can, and sure enough, Garbage Duck fires OUT a bomb, and fires it towards Eddie J. Valiant! Lettuce and John Lennon turn back to the explosion, and John Lennon asks: "WHY are so many people or THINGS trying to KILL me today?! I'm a NICE guy!"
Garbage Duck walks out of the flames, and he says: "You weren't always though. The way you neglected your FIRST wife and child, BARELY spending ANY time with them? Tsk, tsk. You weren't WINNING any 'Father And/Or Husband Of The Year' Awards with them!"
Lettuce angrily says: "And THAT gives YOU license to try to MURDER a man who sang 'Imagine'?! Well, why don't YOU IMAGINE me, kicking your BUTT?!!!"
And suddenly, Lettuce SOMEHOW powers up even more, as a battlizer, based on his old Triceratops Power, suddenly appears around him! Omnus' voice comes over the communicator, and he asks: "How is THIS possible?! Radiguet's involvement in the Chaos Realm should've rendered Lettuce's access to his OLD Triceratops' power impossible!"
Queen Hedrian says: "Because he's in the PAST! Radiguet hasn't DONE it yet, so his old Triceratops' powers can ADD onto his current powers!"
Lettuce says: "I don't know who's talking, but I like what's happened! So, Garbage Duck; you like FIRE-ARMS?! Well, I like the kind of Fire Arm you ONLY have to fire ONCE! Thunder Slinger, Super CHARGE!!!!"
And Garbage Duck says: "Oh, NO!!!!"
And the impact hits, and Garbage Duck says: "Forgive me, Emperor Anton! John Lennon...still lives!"
And Garbage Duck falls down, and explodes! Lettuce says: "Power down!"
Omnus says: "Well, I'll be! Lettuce destroyed that monster all by himself!"
Queen Hedrian says: "I guess all that training with Captain Retro and Windsor payed off!"
Lettuce demorphs, and John Lennon says: "That was BRILLIANT! You...saved my life. I...don't know how I'm going to repay you!"
Lettuce says: "You don't need to. Just...don't tell anybody I can DO that! I have to keep my identity secret! I'm...just sorry I had to USE a fire arm to save your life. It...seems kind of hypocritical."
John sighs, and he says: "First off, don't worry about it. I mean, who WOULD believe me even if I TOLD anybody? And secondly, I know that wasn't ideal, but you have to do what you must in order to save the day, don't you?"
Lettuce's eyes widen, and he says: "Oh, no!"
Lettuce rushes back to where Eddie is, but he's VERY charred, and very burnt, and NOT in a cartoon-like manner! Lettuce yells: "Eddie! Please! Don't DIE on me Eddie! This CAN'T be the end of YOUR story...of your life!"
Eddie coughs, and he says: "I...don't even have the strength to stand up! Lettuce, I don't know WHO or what you are; but you displayed tremendous courage saving John Lennon today!"
Lettuce cries: "It wasn't ENOUGH! I...should've been able to save you AND Yoko Ono, to!"
Eddie coughs, and he says: "Lettuce, some of don't GET to choose WHEN we leave; all we can do is to love the people we love WHEN we are together, and forgive one each other when we make mistakes! My...time may be ending. But you still have MUCH more time, to be the hero I know you can be!"
Lettuce says: "What should I do?"
Eddie says: "In my office, I kept a diary! Hack, cough, cough, cough! In it, I wrote down ALL the tricks and techniques a detective can use, to save the day! Some of them, are Toon techniques. So, you should hire a toon, to become your NEW partner...hack; cough, cough, cough!"
Lettuce says: "Eddie, don't LEAVE me!"
Eddie says: "The ones you love...will always...be in your memory. Even if you can't see us, you can always remember us. Our time together...was short, but I wouldn't change it, for...anything..."
And Eddie FINALLY succumbs to his injuries, and dies. John walks forward, and he says: "I'm sorry for your loss, and mine; to."
Lettuce asks: "What are you going to do? Your son, Sean; he...needs a mother."
John sighs, and he says: "It won't be easy. But, maybe I can try reconciling with Cynthia. Surely she wouldn't turn Sean out. And as for me, I need a little help from my friends. And, I know YOU have friends who are looking out for YOU, to!"
Lettuce says: "You're right! They MUST be friends! Otherwise, they wouldn't have helped me! And, maybe I can FIGURE a way to access those Battlizer powers again!"
John says: "I'm sure you will...whatever a Battlizer, is!"
Lettuce says: "That word...just felt right, to describe what it is I morphed into! You...better get back to your hotel and take care of Sean. I gotta get back to the Detective's Office! I'm going to have a VERY hard Detective's Report to fill out!" /
The screen changes to a cemetary in Miami, Florida, and words flash on the screen which say: "Cemetery, in Miami, Florida; January 1, 1980; 12:57 P.M."
Token caskets for the gravestones of Mark David Chapman and Yoko Ono Lennon, are lowered into their respective graves. John Lennon, Julian Lennon, Cynthia, Sean, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr are in attendance at the funeral; while a procession of Toons have turned out for Eddie J. Valiant's funeral, including Roger and Jessica Rabbit. And who of ALL people, should be singing AT the funeral, except Paul McCartney?!
Paul sings: "When you were young and your heart was an open book, you used to say live and let live. (You know you did, you know you did, you know you did). But if this ever changing world in which we're living, makes you give in and cry, say live and let die. (Live and let die). Live and let die, let it die. (Live and let die). You used to say live and let live. (You know you did, you know you did, you know you did). But if this ever changing world in which we're living, makes you give in and cry. Say live and let die. (Live and let die). Yeah, live and let die, let it die. (Live and let die)."
Everyone claps at the song, and Paul steps off the podium, and Lettuce gets on and speaks into the microphone. Lettuce says: "First off, I'd like to thank the Toon friends of Eddie J. Valiant, for using the 'Acme Instant Hole' Traveling Service to get the other members of The Beatles here on such short notice. And...I didn't know Eddie Valiant that well. I wish I did. He was a friend to toons, a good detective, a great brother, and had a loving wife and son. And Yoko...a lot of us have said things about her that we wish we hadn't. Some of us...blamed her for the break-up of The Beatles, and that wasn't fair to her. I know...that NONE of us wished that this is what it would take for The Beatles to get back together, or that we would have to end the 1970's with such a senseless death. But if it weren't for Yoko Ono, I wouldn't be here right now. Eddie once told me that some of us don't get to choose when our time ends, or how it ends. All we can do, is to choose to love each other as long as where together. And I promise, with my new partner Bonkers D. Bobcat; we will work together to END the senseless gun violence that took away the lives of Yoko Ono, Mark David Chapman, and Eddie J. Valiant, and work together, to make a safer environment for EVERYONE! Men, women, children, Toons, Whites, Asians, African-Americans, and any other ethnicity and race out there, should be able to feel safe and secure in the freedom that America can provide. Our founding fathers, did NOT write the Second Amendment with THESE kinds of fire arms in mind! How COULD they?! Our Constitution, is a living document! And it can be changed if there's a good reason to do so! It won't be easy! But I know with all of your support, and everyone else's support; we can stop such senseless violence now, AND in the future! And THAT'S a future, I know that MOST of us want to work towards, AND live in!"
And everyone cheers in applause, as Lettuce steps off the podium! Bonkers says: "That was a great speech, partner! And, I just want to say, I'm glad you hired me on such short notice!"
Lettuce says: "You were the only Toon that APPLIED for the job! Sure, you don't technically HAVE the qualifications right NOW; but I KNOW we can learn them together!"
Bonkers says: "Just one question, why did you say FIREARMS killed them? That's...not how they actually died!"
Lettuce says: "Well, it would've been a little HARD, and a little ALARMING to tell people how they REALLY died! At least this way, they can ACCEPT how they died, and be able to move on and heal!"
Bonkers asks: "What happens with John Lennon, and the other Beatles? Are they going to get back together?"
Lettuce says: "I couldn't say. All I know is, the answer will be revealed in time. ONLY in time."
To Be Continued...

Long episode ahead, so I'll just get right to it! /

(Cold Open)
The episode opens up INSIDE of a cold, steel machine, filled with white light; and words flash on the screen, and they say: "The INSIDE of Queen Metallia's Machine, in Queen Galaxia's (formerly Queen Beryl's) Palace; April 1, 2179; 4:55 P.M."


Queen Beryl and Abaddon find themselves falling down WITHIN Queen Metallia's Machine (after being zapped into there by Queen Galaxia) and they suddenly start hearing the opening chords of Tom Petty and the Heartbreaker's "The Waiting Is The Hardest Part". Queen Beryl asks: "Is SOMEBODY actually expecting us here?"
Abaddon says: "I don't know, but I have GOT to find out what the rest of their playlist is like!"


Tom Petty (and the Heartbreakers) sing: "Oh baby, don't it feel like heaven right now? Don't it feel like something from a dream? Yeah, I've never known nothing quite like this. Don't it feel like tonight might never be again? Baby, we know better than to try and pretend. Honey, no one coulda ever told me 'bout this. I said yeah, yeah. (Yeah, yeah.) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The waiting is the hardest part. Every day you see one more card. You take it on faith, you take it to the heart. The waiting is the hardest part. Well yeah, I might have chased a couple women around. All it ever got me was down. Then there were those that made me feel good. But never as good as I feel right now. Baby, you're the only one that's ever known how to make me wanna live like I wanna live now. I said yeah, yeah. (Yeah, yeah.) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The waiting is the hardest part. Every day you get one more yard. You take it on faith, you take it to the heart. The waiting is the hardest part. Oh, don't let it kill you baby, don't let it get to you. Don't let it kill you baby, don't let it get to you. I'll be your bleedin' heart, I'll be your cryin' fool. Don't let this go too far, don't let it get to you! (Instrumental break) Yeah, yeah. (Yeah, yeah.) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The waiting is the hardest part. Every day you get one more yard. You take it on faith, you take it to the heart. The waiting is the hardest part. Yeah, the waiting is the hardest part. Oh. Is the hardest part. Oh. Is the hardest part. Oh."


And the song finally ends as Queen Beryl and Abaddon land softly on steel ground. Abaddon says: "If someone told me at the start of today that we would find ourselves WITHIN Queen Metallia's Machine, I would've LAUGHED my HEAD off!"


A familiar voice says: "You're not the ONLY one!"

Queen Beryl, in shock, asks: "Nephrite?!"

Nephrite enters out of the shadows, and she says: "So, you DO remember me?"

Abaddon says: "I thought YOU were dead!"

Nephrite says: "Well, my body WAS destroyed, but; I guess NONE of us read the FINE print when we signed our contracts to Queen Galaxia!"

Queen Beryl asks: "What do you mean?"

Nephrite says: "When one of us Youma falls in battle to the Power Rangers, it isn't just the energy we collect that winds up inside of Queen Metallia's Machine, it's our souls; as well!"

Abaddon says: "So, you've actually SEEN others fall down here, to?!"

Nephrite nods, and sadly says: "Yes. All of the Youma that fell after I did, wound up here. I've seen all of them try their best to fight off against Queen Metallia, but none ever succeed. Even trapped in here, she's MORE powerful than ANY of us could've imagined!"

Queen Beryl excitedly asks: "Powerful enough to help me get REVENGE against that LOUSY Dr. Maniac and that TRAITOROUS Queen Galaxia?!"


Nephrite says: "You don't GET it! Queen Metallia doesn't CARE about your need to get revenge against Dr. Maniac; she's not even ON Queen Galaxia's side! Her only allegiance is to HERSELF and HERSELF alone, she's just like Queen Bansheera from 179 years ago!"


Abaddon steps back in shock, and says: "But...our glorious quest to revive Queen Metallia. All the energy we collected. All the sacrifices that we've made. All the battles that we've lost. Are you telling me that all of that...was a LIE?!"


Nephrite sadly says: "I'm afraid so. Queen Metallia has played this game for the past 10,000 years now. From planet to planet she travels, sucking all the resources of a planet until it is barren and lifeless. In the process, doing this takes up so much energy, she needs to retreat to the safety of her machine, and needs to collect energy from participants she is able to sucker into helping her. No one who has EVER helped her before, has EVER gotten any reward from her!"


Queen Beryl angrily says: "Well, we're NOT going to take THAT lying DOWN! If Queen Beryl thinks she can get US, she's WRONG! We are going to FIGHT against her, and take the energy we gathered for HER, and make it our OWN!"


Nephrite says: "That's not a smart move! She's collected ALL the other Youma that fell in battle! Even with YOUR combined powers, the three of us are not enough to BEAT her!"


Abaddon says: "Not APART from each other; but combined, we just MIGHT stand a chance!"


Nephrite asks: "What are you saying?"


Abaddon says: "I have worked for and studied the dark arts of the Chaos Gods themselves, lest you FORGET that important fact! And I have studied a technique, that would allow us to combine our powers together into ONE super body! In this body, we would have ENOUGH power to take AWAY all the energy Queen Metallia has gathered so far, power it into ourselves, and escape from the machine! Hopefully, when we escape; we'll do so much damage to the machine; Queen Galaxia and her cohorts will NEVER be able to repair it!"


Queen Beryl asks: "Than what are we waiting for?! Let's combine, right away!"


Abaddon says: "It's not as easy as it sounds! These are VERY dark arts that I'm talking about! I'm afraid one of us would have to completely give up their OWN life energy, to make the super body for the others to inhabit!"


Nephrite sighs, and says: "I'll do it. I'm tired of living in fear, I'm tired of being afraid. I'm sorry I wasn't more use to you two when I had my body. But, I hope that what I will do for you now; will more than make up for it."


Queen Beryl says: "Thank you, Nephrite. I always KNEW you were the most LOYAL of my Youma!"


And then, they suddenly hear mechanical clanking and roaring in the distance! Abaddon says: "We better hurry! Those sound like the fallen Necron! Queen Metallia must have reprogrammed them to do her bidding!"


Nephrite says: "Than let's waste no more time! Just do me a favor and give a good thrashing to Dr. Maniac for me!"


Queen Beryl says: "We WILL, Nephrite! We WILL!"


Abaddon's body gets enveloped with a black Aura, as he starts speaking in a dark, forbidden tongue that mortals have not heard for millennia! Abaddon says: "K'haakalik mashak bala ta ma phlonok ka muk!" ("By the power entrusted to me by the Chaos Gods, empower us!")
And a white aura surrounds Nephrite, and Abaddon's black Aura starts surrounding Queen Beryl. Abaddon continues: "M'shennah im pe weck ga sen la muk gom!" ("What was once three, now make us ONE!")


And Nephrite's body turns transparent, and slowly evaporates into nothingness, and Queen Beryl's and Abaddon's bodies slowly find themselves being pulled together and MERGING! Queen Beryl says: "No turning back after this! Abaddon my love, come DIE with ME!!!!"


"Back To The 1980's Part IV: Miami Ice!"


When the episode starts proper, words flash on the screen, and they say: "Mysterious Void, Unknown Location; January 1, 1980; 1:00 P.M." We see a big, blank, white void. A colorful, rainbow portal opens into the void, and Emperor Catton steps into it. He walks to the center of the void (even though since he's the only thing INSIDE of it, it's hard to tell WHERE the actual center is), and he looks up to the blank sky.

Emperor Catton shouts: "Hey, Chaos God Khorne, I'm HOME!!!!"


The sky darkens to a sinister black, and a red, visual image opens in the sky, and the image of Khorne, the Chaos God himself, appears in it! Khorne hisses with a sinister growl, and he says: "Don't EVER address me in that manner again! What's your update?!"


Emperor Catton says: "Even BETTER than I anticipated! While Lettuce's sense of justice is STILL much higher than I would've liked, having forgotten the way history is SUPPOSED to play out DID work out in our favor!"


Khorne says: "Did it, though? You FAILED in your PRIME objective! You SAID you wanted John Lennon KILLED! You ONLY killed Mark David Chapman, Yoko Ono, and Eddy Valiant, Emperor ANTON!!!!"


Emperor Catton angrily yells: "DON'T you DARE address ME by my OLD name! Only my own MONSTERS are ALLOWED to call me that! 'Anton' was my old, LAME name! I don't GO by that name anymore ever since Anton Mercer came along, and with the help of Mesogog, made the name his own! Besides, the name 'Anton' reminds me of when I was young and naive! Dr. Maniac took advantage of 'Emperor Anton', he will NOT take advantage of Emperor CATTON!!!!"


Than Emperor Catton calms down and regains his composure, and says: "The truth of the matter is, my reason for TARGETING John Lennon in the FIRST place, was just a way to get under Dr. Maniac's skin and ENRAGE him! Now I'm in HIS mind instead of the other way around! Dr. Maniac is a DEADLY genius, but he's PRONE to 2-dimensional thinking! And THAT'S where I want him! While his mind process is STUCK in a 'Ms. Pac-Man' like maze, I'm free to roam in the THIRD dimension, and run CIRCLES around him! Besides, manipulating the Power Rangers to do what I WANT them to do, in order to free me, is my TRUE goal!"


Khorne says: "Well, I don't think we'll be able to risk DIRECTLY involving Lettuce in our schemes anymore! Even a BRAINWASHED Ranger, who STILL has a sense of justice; will NOT cooperate in this scheme of ours!"


Emperor Catton says: "Agreed! Not to mention, this, 'Captain Retro' BARKING about and seemingly AWARE of our moves! How does HE have access to the Akhasic Records?! It took me many times of trial and error stuck in this time loop to learn how to access those!"


Khorne says: "Even I don't know what the full story of Captain Retro is. He doesn't APPEAR on my 3-D representation on my Xanatos Speed Chess Set!"


Emperor Catton asks: "How could he NOT appear?! Anyone who is ALIVE, has a soul, has a brain, and has a heart; HAS to APPEAR on your 3-D representation of a Xanatos Speed Chess Set! And we KNOW Captain Retro has ALL of those qualifications! SURE, he's the avatar of the Dog Deity, Clifford, but even THAT shouldn't prevent you from allowing me access into his mind!"


Khorne says: "A dog, he may be; but he's an ELTARIAN dog, anthropomorphized with magic. And he's...immune to any brain washing powers. Not to mention, the Magi-Mother's has blessed him with her...magical protection and knowledge."


Emperor Catton says: "BAH!!!! Let him run around! There's STILL only ONE of him, and he CAN'T be everywhere at once! Especially not since he has to ensure that neither Dr. Maniac or us try to target Radiguet now! Do you think Captain Retro is AWARE of how Dr. Maniac is USING all of the energy being accumulated in this Time Rift as an attempt to speed up Queen Metallia's resurrection? Or that we plan to REDIRECT that energy into getting myself into the Nazi Realm?"


Khorne says: "I have no way of knowing! We can't CONTROL his mind, let alone see into it! Even ONE variable that I can't account for could make everything be ruined!"


Emperor Catton chuckles, and he says: "Don't worry your...well, to put it bluntly, UGLY little head! I'll manage Captain Retro MYSELF if I have to! You just make SURE the energy to get myself TO the Nazi Realm, is pointed to the RIGHT place, when the time comes!"


Khorne's eyes narrow, and he suspiciously says: "I'll see what I can do!"


And Khorne's image disappears, and the blank void turns white again. Emperor Catton sighs, and he says: "I'm beginning to see WHY Radiguet has such a GRUDGE against the Chaos Gods! They are SO...DIFFICULT to have to deal with! I'm LUCKY that in THIS realm, I can CONTROL when they CAN and CAN'T access this realm, let alone hear or see what I'm TALKING about! Well, let's see which Ranger I should target NEXT!" Emperor Catton puts his right arm forward, and he says: "Void of Time, show me Naruto!!!!"


And the void opens up, and shows not just one, but MULTIPLE images of Naruto getting beaten up by HOT rock and roll women of the 1980's! Emperor Catton says: "Looks like I HAVE gotten stronger! I used to only be able to see ONE of these images at a time! Let me freeze these images and view their contents more closely!!"


Emperor Catton pulls up one image, and he says: "Hmmm, Naruto getting beaten up by Pat Benatar BEFORE she got married to Neil Girardo? Hard Pass! Naruto getting beaten up by Belinda Carlisle, Jane Wieldin, and the other members of the Go-Go's? Fun, but NO! Naruto getting beaten up by Annie Lennox in between marriages? Nothing that I haven't seen before! OOH!!!! I haven't seen THIS one yet! Naruto getting beaten up by Joan Jett of the Blackhearts?! I've GOT to see this one!"


And Emperor Catton shouts: "Void of time, show me North Hollywood, California; May 17, 1980, RIGHT now!"


And sure enough, a void opens up to show Naruto (in his Blaze the Nine-Tails persona) holed up somewhere IN some sleazy hotel in North Hollywood, California; still dressed up in his tacky 1980's clothes! And Joan Jett is with him! Emperor Catton materializes a large bag of buttered popcorn and a large Diet Pepsi with no ice, and a comfy movie chair, and he sits down and says: "Boy, Naruto are YOU in for a WORLD of HURT!!!!"


And the action shifts to within what Emperor Catton is seeing and words flash on the screen which say: "Unlisted Hotel in North Hollywood, California; May 17, 1980; 5:26 P.M."


Joan Jett looks around at the rather...drab and QUESTIONABLE quality of the room Naruto has picked, and she sighs and says: "What I don't understand, Blaze, is WHY you chose to DRAG me to some hotel that even a Five and DIME store wouldn't advertise?"


Naruto scoffs and says: "Well, DUH!!!! It's all I can afford on the measly budget I get from performing with Miss 'DIVA'. Diana Manchot! She's all busy hanging out with Pop Star PRINCE, and he's made HER the lead singer of some BAND called 'Vanity 6'. She's gonna change her name to Diana M. and record some tunes! And until her first album and singles come out and I collect some royalties, this is what WE have to settle for!"


Joan Jett raises one of her eyebrows and says: "What do you mean, 'We'?"


Naruto says: "Isn't it obvious? I'm CRAZY mad in LOVE with you! I LOVE the work you did with The Runaways! Totally underutilized in MY honest opinion! But I could tell that YOU were a Star even back than! And when I heard that you just released your first solo album today, I KNEW that I had to date you!"


Joan Jett asks: "You ONLY want to date me because I'm an up and coming rock and roll star?!"


Naruto says: "Of course not! I want to date you because you're SMOKING HOT!!!! And smart enough to release an album on your OWN independent label!"


Joan Jett opens the hotel door to bring a suitcase of her's inside, and she says: "All right, I'll let you have a 'Turn'. But please note in advance; you ASKED for this! So don't come CRYING and RUNNING to me when this is all over! You GOT that?!"


Naruto says: "No, sir! I mean, 'Ma'am'! I mean...'Sir...ma'am...'."


Joan Jett says: "Just SHUT up and strip onto the bed BEFORE I change my MIND!"


Naruto IMMEDIATELY does what he is told, and jumps onto the bed, with Joan's head BLOCKING the viewer's view of what SHE is seeing! Joan asks: "Are ALL men as short as YOU are in real life, or am I just lucky?"


Naruto screams: "I'll get an extension once I get RICH, I SWEAR!!!!"


Joan Jett says: "Or, I could try some techniques of my OWN! Now please note, when you have consensual sex with Joan Jett, please don't forget the ACCESSORY B.D.S.M. Whip, Music, and other assorted ACCESSORIES!!!!"


And while the viewers don't see any of the naughty action, they STILL see Joan Jett inflicting TONS of physical pain onto Naruto as she whips, hits him with spiked gloves, kicks him HARD with 9 inch high heel shoes, and chokes him as HARD as she can without making him pass out, all to the tune of one of Joan Jett's own songs playing on Joan Jett's boom-box!
Joan Jett sings: "I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation! You're living in the past, it's a new generation! A girl can do what she wants to do and that's what I'm gonna do! And I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation! Oh no, no, no not me, me, me, me, me, not me, me, me, me, me, me, me. And I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation! Never said I wanted to improve my station! And I'm only doin' good when I'm havin' fun, And I don't have to please no one! And I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation! Oh no, no, no not me, me, me, me, me, oh no, not me, me, me, me, me. I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation! I've never been afraid of any deviation! And I don't really care if you think I'm strange! I ain't ever gonna change! And I'm never gonna care 'bout my bad reputation! Oh no, no, no, not me, me, me, me, me, oh no, not me, me, me, me, Pedal, boys! (Instrumental Break) And I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation! The world's in trouble, there's no communication! And everyone can say what they wanna to say, it never gets better, anyway! So why should I care about a bad reputation anyway? Oh no, no, no, not me, me, me, me, me, oh no, not me, me, me, me, me, me, me. I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation! You're living in the past, it's a new generation! And I only feel good when I got no pain, And that's how I'm gonna stay! And I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation! Oh no, no, no, not me, me, me, me, me, me, me, oh no, not me, me, me, me, me. Not me, me, me, me, not me; NOT ME!!!!"


And the song ends as Joan Jett finishes redressing herself, and she turns to Naruto, and she says: "Well, Blaze; I can safely say that I've spent WORSE evenings than the one I've had today. I've spent a lot better, but I GUESS you got the job done as a 6/10. Try calling again in a few years if you ever get MORE famous, and I'm not ALREADY married!"


She leaves the hotel room, and the camera pans over to Naruto, and there's practically not a SINGLE space on his entire body (except for his naughty bits covered by a blanket) which isn't covered in cat scratches or blood, and in a daze, Naruto raises up both his arms and says: "Totally WORTH IT!!!!" /


The action shifts back to the Blank Void, as Emperor Catton pauses the action, and Emperor Catton says: "UGH!!!! Naruto is so UTTERLY stupid no matter WHICH woman he tries to date! He doesn't even GET that he LITERALLY just asked Joan Jett to TOTALLY sexually assault him! He's more of a danger to HIMSELF than he is to MY plans! I'm not even going to BOTHER reading HIS mind...if he even HAS one! Waste of precious time and magic, I'd say!"


Than a red alarm light fills the air, and Emperor Catton says: "WHAT?! That's NOT Khorne!"


Words flash within the void, and a computerized female voice says: "WARNING! UNAVOIDABLE moment in time!"


Emperor Catton says: "WHAT?! Are we at THAT point in history already?! This is where Dr. Maniac tries to make his move on Diane Martin! I don't WANT to watch it, but I suppose I've GOT to! Of course, since Captain Retro IS currently there, than Dr. Maniac might get more trouble than he bargained for!"


The void opens up a portal, and the red alarm light turns off. The action shifts to what is being viewed within the portal, and words flash on the screen, which says: "Diane Martin's Penthouse Apartment, New York City, New York; May 17, 1980, 8:41 P.M."


Inside Diane Martin's Penthouse Apartment, Diane is all dressed up in a pink dress, looking almost exactly like Marilyn Monroe did in "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend".

Captain Retro (still in his human disguise) is sitting on one of her VERY comfortable couches, and he asks: "What I DON'T understand is just WHY I can't know who it IS you invited to this late dinner you're having tonight?"


Diane says: "First off, you are a guest. And while I understand you have some importance of being here, the fact that you still haven't divulged any more information to me; gives me reason to think that you're HIDING something from me!"


Captain Retro, almost exasperated at this point, says: "I've told you 41 times already! This marks the 42nd! I can't TELL you about what the deal IS with me because it could jeopardize YOURS, MINE, and everyone ELSE'S future many YEARS from now! Think of it like the U.S. Government keeping secrets for SECURITY reasons!"


Diane says: "Well, I can't! I've LIVED through Watergate, so I THINK you can cut me some SLACK as to why I'm not so EAGER on trusting the U.S. Government!"


Captain Retro asks: "Did you ever even CONSIDER that there might be at least TWO WORSE administrations in the future than the one that CAUSED Watergate?!"


Diane scoffs, and says: "Let me guess, some VAIN, WHINY, NARCISSISTIC, WOMANIZING, SELF-LOATHING, SELF-IMPORTANT, XENOPHOBIC, BIG NAME, SMALL EGO, White Man whose ONLY reason for living is ROUGHLY proportional to the size of his I.Q.? I'd RATHER be DEAD before THAT ever came to fruition!"


Captain Retro groans in frustration, and he says: "Even in the PAST BEFORE I was technically BORN, NOBODY ever listens to me!"
Than Diane's bell rings, and she says: "Oh, that would be MY date now; oh, yee of little faith!"


Captain Retro looks bewildered, and he says: "Yee?! Haven't heard THAT word get put into rotation for a while!"


Diane opens the door, and while she LOOKS at the young 32 year old, brown haired man with loving eyes, Captain Retro's eyes look on in SHOCK, as he IMMEDIATELY recognizes him as a much YOUNGER Dr. Maniac, BEFORE he robot-icized himself! Diane says: "Well, if it isn't Dr. Rick Sanchez. Your reputation for punctuality proceeds you! Welcome to my HUMBLE abode! A modest little place; but when it comes to real estate, you can't beat the location or it's price!"


Dr. Rick Sanchez says: "Indeed! Long live deep pockets! It's AMAZING how much happiness money can TRULY buy you, and how much it has brought me! Whoever FIRST sang that 'The best things in life are free', must have had HOLES in their brain!"


Captain Retro sternly says: "His NAME was Barrett Strong, and I don't think he ever DREAMED about the amount of money that YOU seem to worship!"


Dr. Rick Sanchez briefly twitches, but he composes himself, and he says: "You...didn't say there WOULD be any other guests here!"


Diane scoffs, and he says: "Don't MIND him! He is a guest I am keeping here because he has Diplomatic Immunity...or SOMETHING like that. And needs to STAY here until he completes his mission and can go home!"


Dr. Rick Sanchez raises an eyebrow, and he says: "Indeed. And is there ANYTHING that YOU know about ME?"


Captain Retro, still keeping his volume in check, says: "I know ENOUGH about you and what you're like! Have you even TOLD her about your little SIDE hobbies?!"


Dr. Rick Sanchez scoffs, and he says: "So, I LIKE to tinker with CARS in my spare time! What REAL man doesn't?! But MY, we have a BIG dinner ahead of us, so why don't you go to the restroom so you can fit it all in?"


Diane says: "Good idea! I'll go 'Powder my nose'."


Captain Retro says: "I went 15 minutes ago, I'll pass."


Diane says: "Make yourself at home, don't do anything I wouldn't do!"


And Diane rushes off to her personal bathroom, and closes the bedroom door behind her! Dr. Rick Sanchez chuckles to himself, and he says: "The moment I've been WAITING for my entire LIFE!!!! Time to become a REAL man the way my FATHER and Professor BIAS never SAID I could BE!!!!"


And Dr. Rick Sanchez heads toward Diane's bedroom door, but Captain Retro immediately stands between him and the door, and Captain Retro says: "Didn't you HEAR the NICE lady who invited you into HER house?! Don't DO anything she wouldn't do!"


Dr. Rick Sanchez, getting increasingly irate, but still TRYING to keep his temper, says: "In the Soviet Union, they shoot dogs down DEAD when they get old OR disobedient! You want to LIVE a long life? I suggest you MIND your OWN BUSINESS!!!!"


Captain Retro says: "Protecting other people from harm IS my business, and if you're as SMART as you SAY you are, you WON'T move another INCH towards the door!"


But Dr. Rick Sanchez IMMEDIATELY grabs the door handle, only to find that the door WON'T open! Dr. Rick Sanchez says: "Diane told me she NEVER locks the DOORS in her house!"


Captain Retro says: "Did you HONESTLY think I wouldn't take any precautions? If there's one thing I hate WORSE than people who are COMPLETELY intolerant of anyone else who ISN'T like them, it's PEOPLE who are WILLFULLY ignorant and HATEFUL to everyone else! And you treat THOSE statements like it's something to be celebrated, when it's the COMPLETE antithesis OF!"


Dr. Rick Sanchez suddenly laughs his signature Dr. Maniac laugh, and he says: "MWA, HA, HA!!!! My ALTERNATE self told me ALL about you, but seeing you in PERSON; you're even SMARTER than I ever could've DREAMED of!"


Captain Retro says: "So...you DO know I'm NOT from here?"


Dr. Rick Sanchez says: "Not even HERE, you're not even from this PLANET! As a matter of fact, you're not EVEN from this TIME! What gives YOU the right to interfere with MY plans?! And how DARE YOU INTRUDE ON A VERY PRIVATE DINNER?!!!"


Captain Retro scoffs in shock, and he says: "Private? PRIVATE?!!! EVERYTHING in a 14 billion light year RADIUS, INCLUDING black holes and the near vacuum of SPACE, COULD hear you!"


Dr. Rick Sanchez unleashes his trademark Dr. Maniac scowl, and he says: "Listen, you PATHETIC MUTT!!!! I was DENIED the chance to get the son I WANTED with Diane Martin ONCE, thanks to that LOUSY Dash Drew, and I'm NOT going to be denied again! I have PLANS to unleash the AIDS virus in a year, to wipe out the PATHETIC population of F--!"


Captain Retro sternly says: "Keep TALKING like that about Dash Drew and your MOUTH will be MINUS one TONGUE!"


Dr. Rick Sanchez says: "That playboy dandy ROBBED me of the life that was RIGHTFULLY mine! So, I'm merely going to return the favor; and rob HIM and everyone else LIKE him of THEIR lives! NOBODY robs the life of a white man who should HAVE EVERYTHING HE WANTS!!!! And NOTHING is going to stop me from GETTING it! Do you want to know WHY?!!! Because unlike everyone ELSE in this PATHETIC universe, I am completely INCAPABLE of making MISTAKES!!!!"


Than Captain Retro's eyes suddenly turn COMPLETELY white, and with a seething red AURA forming around him, Captain Retro says: "YOU just made two! You talked about a Power Ranger with the INTENT of using a derogatory term about him, and YOU ACTUALLY managed to make me ANGRY!!!!" Captain Retro screams: "Kaio-Ken X10!!!!" /


Back in Emperor Catton's void, Emperor Catton gasps in SHOCK at what his void is registering! Emperor Catton says: "Captain Retro's powers are going UP?! Power level 90,000; 120,000; 180,000; 444,000; 530,000!"


And his energy read-out shatters, as if unable to handle anymore! Emperor Catton says: "He BROKE the scale! What kind of mortal HAS such powers, yet doesn't use them whenever he WANTS to?! Even I couldn't have predicted such a dangerous enemy for Dr. Maniac, let alone myself! I sure hope Khorne is RIGHT that he WON'T interfere with MY plans! That dog is worth MORE trouble than I EVER could've bargained for!" /


Back in Diane Martin's apartment, the Red Aura COMPLETELY envelops Captain Retro, shedding his human disguise in the process, and Captain Retro begins to mercilessly punch Dr. Rick Sanchez without giving him a chance to even ATTEMPT a punch or a kick! In desperation, Dr. Rick Sanchez pulls out a B.D.S.M. Whip, and attempts to STRIKE Captain Retro with it! At that moment, Diane Martin opens her bedroom door, and sees Dr. Maniac try to STRIKE Captain Retro, but Captain Retro MERELY bats the whip away. And Diane picks up the whip, and reads the writing on it. Diane says: "Property of Dr. Rick Sanchez MANIAC?!!!"


Dr. Rick Sanchez manages to break FREE from the punching and he finally yells his trademark Dr. Maniac scream: "NO!!!! NO!!!! NO!!!! NO!!!! NO!!!! NO!!!! NO!!!! NO!!!! This ISN'T WHAT WAS SUPPOSED to happen at ALL!!!! All I HAD to do was to DESTROY every LAST bit of Beatles and John Lennon music in this household, so Diane would be completely weak and helpless while I had my WAY with her!!!!"


Diane looks up in shock and she yells: "Have your WAY with me?!!!"


Dr. Rick Sanchez says: "It was to be my GLORIOUS DESTINY!!!! All those years of my FATHER saying, 'Oh, Rick, you're MUCH too weak kicking that football. Oh, Rick, you're MUCH too slow running in soccer. Oh, Rick, you hit that baseball like a sissy girl.' Or, 'Rick, why couldn't YOU have been born a red, hot-blooded athlete like I WAS'?!!!! I would've FINALLY proven MY father and Professor Bias wrong! And YOU...!!!! YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!!!!"


Captain Retro angrily says: "Sorry. But some things are MORE important than Historical Accuracy! And if there's a price that has to be paid, than I'LL pay for it when the time comes! Besides, there was NEVER going to BE a scenario where YOU got your way! You wanna know why?! Because there are SOME questions in this world that don't HAVE a solution to the problem!"


Dr. Rick Sanchez says: "LIAR!!!! EVERY problem has a solution! And if I can't FIND one, I'll MAKE one instead! And is THIS what you like?! Is THIS what makes YOU hot?!"


Captain Retro angrily says: "WHAT?!!!"


And Captain Retro begins to punch Dr. Rick Sanchez some more, until Diane says: "Enough of this! Dr. Rick Sanchez, IF that IS your real name; you are clearly NOT welcome in MY house anymore! If you VALUE what YOU call a life, you'll LEAVE this place and NEVER try to seek me out AGAIN!"


Dr. Rick Sanchez says: "FINE!!!! But you're throwing away a MARVELOUS opportunity, the BOTH of you! The humans you swear to protect no matter what? They're all SCUM just like ME, maybe worse! We could've developed a NEW society, FREE from humanity's sins, and there would NEVER be any arguments AGAIN!"


Captain Retro says: "Even if your offer WERE sincere, do you REALLY think either of us would accept such an offer?!"


Dr. Rick Sanchez says: "Quite frankly, no. You Eltarian dogs are loyal and just to the point of tasting like Diabetes! You know there's now only ONE fate that awaits YOU and Diane eventually; SUDDEN AND INSTANT DEATH!!!!"


Diane angrily says: "If you DON'T get out of here RIGHT now, I will kick you in your MANHOOD SO HARD, it will MISSHAPE every OTHER men's manhood, who is LIKE you, in this world, to be shaped just like YOURS!"
Dr. Rick Sanchez says: "Like I'm AFRAID of some pathetic SLUT'S--!!!!"


But Dr. Rick Sanchez NEVER gets to finish his thought, because Diane kicks him in his pelvic region SO hard, CRIES of men crying out in pain can be heard around the world! /


In Emperor Catton's void, Emperor Catton says: "No WONDER Zordon worried about too MUCH Pink Ranger Power! Just look at what Diane just did! Good thing I'm not from THIS world!" /


Dr. Rick Sanchez winces in pain and asks: "Are you QUITE happy now?"


Captain Retro says: "Like The Byrds once sang, 'I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better When YOU'RE Gone'!" Captain Retro zooms into the kitchen and grabs a bag of ice, and tosses it to Dr. Rick Sanchez! Captain Retro says: "Here, take this little parting gift of ours, and don't go away MAD; just go AWAY!!!!"


Dr. Rick Sanchez puts the bag of ice into his pants, and he says: "Very well! I'll BIDE my time!" Dr. Rick Sanchez, with his free right hand, points to Diane, and he says: "And as for YOU, my FINE lady; TRUE, I wasn't able to attend to you NOW as I would've liked! But just TRY to stay out of my way! Just TRY!!!! I'll get you, my pretty! And your mangy dog, TOO!!!!"


And Dr. Rick Sanchez leaves, and slams the door in anger! Captain Retro says: "What a TERRIBLE triple-decker, toadstool saurkraut sandwich, with Arsenic Sauce! The NERVE of that man, trying to make other decent men in this world LOOK bad! Power down!"


Captain Retro floats down, and Diane asks: "So...is this why...?"


Captain Retro turns to Diane and he asks: "NOW do you believe me why I SAID that I had secrets that I was trying to protect?!"


Diane says: "To be fair, in MY defense, I've never HAD to deal with deranged, maniacal doctors on a daily basis, or interact with anthropomorphic alien dogs!"


Captain Retro says: "Technically speaking, all Earth dogs are just Eltarian dogs that haven't evolved yet. Eltar is a planet that's had a lot more time to evolve than Earth has. And you're right, I wasn't thinking of that. It's...not always easy for me to keep other people's perspectives in mind."


Diane asks: "But why did you confront Rick Sanchez? I thought you weren't supposed to."


Captain Retro says: "Well, I suppose there's no point in concealing anything from you anymore. From my perspective, this is only a Time Rift. A copy of history. But, as I've already witnessed, a future version of Dr. Maniac, and this other villain named Emperor Catton have already made attacks on established history. And I THINK I know the reason WHY!


Diane asks: "But...if this is only a COPY of history...does that mean that I'm not REAL to you? That nothing that we do in this Time Rift matters?"


Captain Retro says: "Of COURSE not! You're REAL enough to me, and so is everything else that you do! That's the reason why I protected you! I couldn't BEAR the thought of Dr. Maniac trying to take advantage of you again! I wanted to give you at least ONE timeline where you were spared from his sadistic pain!"


Diane says: "You said there might be a price that you have to pay. What price is that?"


Captain Retro says: "It relates to the reason WHY Dr. Maniac and Emperor Catton are attacking this Time Rift! Both of them want access to a horrible place called the Nazi Realm, a NASTY dimension that makes what Dr. Maniac wanted to do to you, look like a Saturday in the Park; and I DON'T mean the 'Chicago' song! That's where I come in! While I can't STOP the Nazi Realm from being opened up, I CAN control who gets to go in it!"


Diane asks: "How does that help?"


Captain Retro says: "Both Dr. Maniac and Emperor Catton ARE bad guys, but in terms of evil, Emperor Catton is FAR tamer than Dr. Maniac is! If Emperor Catton gets into the Nazi Realm, my fellow Power Rangers can follow him and beat him there for good! But if Dr. Maniac, even as he currently is, gets into there; I don't know if the Power Rangers can even win!"


Diane says: "So, there WILL be more! I always hoped there would be, but now that I know; I know that I can face anything!"


Captain Retro says: "I feel it's only right to warn you, that as of right now; we're in uncharted territory. I now officially HAVE no idea how this version of history is going to play out, thanks to MY interaction! It's...not always an easy line, to try walking on both the side of justice, and historical accuracy. And...as far as the price that I'll have to pay? I'll probably be put out of commission for a while, after I have to direct the energy that will ensure Emperor Catton gets sent to the Nazi Realm. No EASY task, I might add! The Power Rangers will be on their own, fighting against Emperor Catton."


Diane says: "Well, there's no point worrying about that for now! You'll just have to deal with it when the time comes."


Captain Retro assumes his human disguise again, and he says: "Right! But for now, keep my identity secret to everybody else. I'm not sure if the REST of the world is ready for an anthropomorphic canine just yet."


Diane says: "Agreed!" /


The action shifts back to Emperor Catton's void, and Emperor Catton says: "What LUCK!!!! Captain Retro is going to put HIMSELF out of commission, just to make sure I get sent to the Nazi Realm! It seems like Captain Retro HATES Dr. Maniac more than he hates ME! Though to be honest, one can hardly BLAME him!" Emperor Catton scans the Void and says: "Hmmm, it seems there are no further issues with which I have to deal with in this year. Perhaps a little Chrono Clock action would...speed things up! Hands of Time, fast-forward to the next interaction that the Power Rangers have with Dr. Maniac!"


And Emperor Catton's Chrono Clock powers speed forward to December 31, 1982, at 5:00 P.M., with a void opening up to Miami, Florida! Emperor Catton pulls up the details of the void, and he says: "OOH!!!! Looks like Lettuce and Bonkers, those 'Miami Vice' wanna-bes, are hot on the trail of FireHawk, pretending to be a brainwashed Drug Lord! Was being the unruly Tomboy of the family THAT hard on you, FireHawk? Did your DADDY never love you, and your mother couldn't care LESS?! Showering all their LOVE on polite StarHawk while treating you LIKE you didn't exist? Trying to MAKE something impressive of yourself in order to impress them? I could care LESS about your PATHETIC Freudian excuses, but I think it's time to introduce you to MY army! And UNLESS you want me to divulge your sinister SECRET to Naruto and the other Rangers, I think it's an offer you can't refuse! Time to find out where you've been hiding!"


Emperor Catton zooms in on FireHawk's hidden location, to a FAMILIAR restaurant location called "Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria"! Emperor Catton says: "Ooh! CLEVER girl! Hiding in a restaurant filled with faulty animatronics that no one will enter once it's NIGHT?! And Dr. Maniac is the reason for the Animatronics malfunctioning in conjunction with William Afton! You're very cagey Firehawk, I'll give you THAT much! But I believe Lettuce and Bonkers will be on your trail soon enough, once I free ONE of the Animatronics from Dr. Maniac's corrupt influence! Now, which one of them should I pick?"


Emperor Catton looks through the selection of the seven Animatronics located in Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria, and he says: "Toy Chica, I choose YOU!!!!"


The Void opens up with purple energy, and Toy Chica drops INSIDE of the Void! Toy Chica, with a voice VERY similar to both Vipera and Abby Little, says: "Huh? What happened?! One minute, I was seeing these two DERANGED scientists HACKING into my fellow robot's circuits...and than, nothing. And the next thing I know, I'm here! But who ARE you; and how did I get HERE?!"


Emperor Catton says: "Don't focus on me! You need to focus on helping your friends! Those two evil scientists are named Dr. Maniac and William Afton! They're planning on using your robot friends to attack innocent children, all as payback for William getting fired AND losing one of his own children!"


Toy Chica says: "Oh no! That's terrible!"


Emperor Catton says: "Not to worry! Things aren't ENTIRELY hopeless for your friends! The original programming for your friends is still buried within their data-banks, and can be reactivated by someone who is good at solving mysteries!"


Toy Chica says: "Well, that settles it! I have to help my friends!"


Emperor Catton says: "Uh, yeah; you do. And I can give you a little infusion of MY energy in order to help you fight off against ANYONE who tries to re-program YOU again!"


And Emperor Catton waves his hand, and a purple aura surrounds Toy Chica. Emperor Catton says: "So, now; the rest is up to you. I will send you to the police department where the well-known Miami detectives, Lettuce and Bonkers reside. They will help you to free your fellow Animatronics from the evil programming grip of those evil scientists! And just for an added incentive, tell them that you know where the Drug Lord FireHawk is! I have a feeling that they are WANTING to catch her!"


Toy Chica says: "Will do!"


And Emperor Catton warps her out of the Void! Emperor Catton says: "Dr. Maniac, you will soon find that there is NO plot you can come up with, that I can't use and turn into something that benefits only me! FireHawk may want to gain your trust to steal YOUR technology, but I'll see to it that she NEVER gets that far! Mwa, ha, ha, ha, ha!" /


The action shifts again, and words flash on the screen, and they say "Miami, Florida; Police Department - ICE Unit; Where We Put ALL Criminals on ICE! December 31, 1982; 5:00 P.M."


In the police station unit, Lettuce and Bonkers are currently residing in there. Due to it being New Year's Eve, they are also the only police officers on duty! Bonkers says: "Man! I hate being stuck here on New Year's Eve! Of course, I'd probably hate being stuck here on any OTHER holiday! Why did YOU agree for us to stay here, while such fellow officers like Lucky Piquel and Miranda Wright get to live it up tonight for a New Year's Eve celebration?!"


Lettuce, now sporting an iconic 1980's blazer outfit, shades, and INEXPLICABLY a brown mustache, turns around, and says: "I TOLD you, Bonkers; Lucky Piquel's cases have been VERY hard on him during the time that he's known you. And Miranda is still...well; inexperienced for lack of a better word.  Besides, not only are we getting paid time AND a half; statistically speaking, we're the best CHOICE for an emergency in case something turns up!"


And just at that moment, Toy Chica bursts in! Toy Chica asks: "Are you the well-known police detectives Lettuce and Bonkers? You two have to help me!"


Bonkers sighs, and he says: "Why can't ANYONE ever come in asking to just help them get a CAT down from a tree anymore, or something like that?"


Lettuce says: "Oh, don't pretend you don't like getting into antics like THIS on a weekly basis? Besides, I make it a policy to NEVER turn down a request from a lady, even if it IS a robot!"


Bonkers says: "Well, nice to know that Chivalry ISN'T dead! But I bet she can't pass the Turing Test!"


Toy Chica says: "Okay, maybe it IS just my programming saying that I need somebody else's help! But SOMEBODY had to WRITE it, first!"


Lettuce says: "OOH, she's got you THERE; Bonkers! Anyways, how can we help?"


Toy Chica says: "My fellow Animatronics have been corrupted by two evil scientists! Dr. Maniac and William Afton! If we don't free them from their corrupted programming, they'll unintentionally HARM innocent children when they least suspect it!"


Bonkers says: "That's just TERRIBLE! But...how do WE know your programming hasn't been corrupted either, and you're just trying to lure us into a trap?"


Toy Chica says: "Use your head! If I was GOING to lead you into a trap, do you think I would have WARNED you about my fellow Animatronics' programs being corrupted BEFOREHAND?! Besides, the notorious drug lord FireHawk is hiding there!"


Lettuce says: "Ooh! She's got you two for two, Bonkers! Usually, I have to pay EXTRA for that! Of course, we'd be GLAD to help! Just tell us where to take you!"


Bonkers says: "Well, DUH!!!! The Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria right here in town! It's the only place she LOGICALLY could've come from!"


Lettuce says: "Bonkers, NEVER automatically assume anything! Even with Animatronics! I certainly try not to! Besides, I heard that some up and coming musician named Blaze the Ninetales is going to be the opening act for the Freddy Fazbear band tonight! We're not going to miss a chance to see a COOL musical act like THAT!"


Toy Chica says: "Than let's waste no more time!"


And all three of them rush outside, to get into their VERY cool police car! Bonkers says: "I just LOVE being a police detective! Punch it, Lettuce!"


And Lettuce turns the ignition, starts the car, and turns on a ROCKING George Thorogood and Destroyers song (that from their perspective, is only three months old and still brand new), "Bad To The Bone!"
George Thorogood sings: "On the day I was born, the nurses all gathered 'round. And they gazed in wide wonder, at the joy they had found. The head nurse spoke up, said 'Leave this one alone.' She could tell right away, that I was bad to the bone. Bad to the bone! Bad to the bone! B-B-B-B-Bad. B-B-B-B-Bad. B-B-B-B-Bad. Bad to the bone! I broke a thousand hearts, before I met you. I'll break a thousand more, baby; before I am through. I wanna be yours, pretty baby. Yours and yours alone. I'm here to tell ya, honey; that I'm bad to the bone! Bad to the bone! B-B-B-B-Bad. B-B-B-B-Bad. B-B-B-B-Bad. Bad to the bone! (Instrumental Break) I make a rich woman beg, I'll make a good woman steal. I'll make an old woman blush, and make a young girl squeal! I wanna be yours pretty baby, yours and yours alone. I'm here to tell ya, honey; that I'm bad to the bone! B-B-B-B-Bad. B-B-B-B-Bad. B-B-B-B-Bad. Bad to the bone! (Instrumental Break) And when I walk the streets, Kings and Queens step aside! Every woman I meet, they all stay satisfied! I wanna tell ya, pretty baby; well, ya see I make my own. I'm here to tell ya, honey; that I'm bad to the bone! Bad to the bone! B-B-B-B-Bad. B-B-B-Bad. B-B-B-Bad. Bad to the bone!" (Instrumental Solo to the end of the song).


Approaching the top of a freeway off-ramp, Toy Chica says: "My Restaurant is at the bottom of this off-ramp! Use the breaks and slow down!"


Lettuce puts his foot down on the break, only to find that it's NOT responding to him! Lettuce says: "Uh-oh! The break is shot! It must have broken after all the times we used the break to make a COOL entrance! We HAVE no breaks!!!!"


And they zoom INTO the air, screaming: "AHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


Until suddenly, just a few moments from hitting the ground, the car suddenly SPUTTERS and comes to a complete stop IN mid-air! Bonkers says: "Sorry, folks! We ran out of gas!!!!"


Toy Chica says: "Uh, that's NOT how your police car works!"


And in a "Puff of Logic," the car than drops the remaining few feet and hits the ground! Bonkers sarcastically says: "Nice going, BABE!"


Toy Chica says: "BABE?! Did he just call me, 'BABE'?!"


Lettuce says: "I don't know! I kind of blanked out while we were flying through the air!"


The three of them get out of the mostly intact police car in front of the restaurant, only to find Naruto as Blaze, Diane Martin, and Captain Retro still in his human guise! Captain Retro says: "Well, it's about time you got here, Lettuce!"


Lettuce says: "I recognize that voice! You're the one who told me of my name!"


Toy Chica says: "Wait! You MEAN you didn't even know of your name?! How did HE know?!"


Captain Retro says: "Well, first off; let me introduce myself! I'm Captain Retro, this is Diane Martin! We just moved here from New York City!"


Diane says: "I couldn't TAKE the traffic anymore! And the cold winters! Here, it's sunny skies and easy tans as FAR as the eye can see!"


Bonkers says: "Except in the HURRICANE season; in which case, WATCH out!"


Naruto says: "Isn't ANYONE excited to see ME?!"


Toy Chica asks: "And YOU are?"


Naruto sputters, and he says: "Why, I'm BLAZE the Nine-Tales! I'm the guy who made out with Joan Jett of the BlackHearts and LIVED! I'm the guy who does ALL the work playing guitar on Vanity 6's singles and albums! I'm GOING to become a member of heavy metal band Motley Crue SOMEDAY!"


Captain Retro says: "Well, EVEN if you do; you'll STILL never eclipse anything that The Beatles have done, are doing, or WILL do! You didn't RELEASE the multi-platinum "Somewhere In England" featuring ALL of The Beatles writing and singing lead on at least one song on the album! I just LOVE hearing John Lennon's duet with Stevie Wonder on 'Ebony And Ivory'."


Naruto asks: "Why would I WANT to be LIKE The Beatles?! I want to be my OWN thing! Why I want to know is, why is this restaurant CLOSED?! I'm supposed to be PERFORMING here tonight! I want to get my OWN label recognition and some SERIOUS gigs!"


Toy Chica says: "There are MORE important things in the world than YOU having a gig! You could HELP me rescue my fellow Animatronics!"


Naruto sputters, and asks: "How hard could THAT be?! Just stand aside; and I'll show you brute force isn't the answer to EVERYTHING!!!!"


Over the communicators, Queen Hedrian asks: "Uh, is he going to be okay?"


Omnus says: "Nope! Safe to say, he WON'T be!"


Emperor Catton suddenly appears on the scene, and he says: "I'm NOT all powerful, you know! Naruto's COMPLETE and UTTER Ignorance, Stupidity, Stubbornness, and inability to listen to ANYONE smarter than he is, which is pretty much everybody; is one factor in history that even I'M unable to change, EVEN if I wanted to!"


A blue void in time opens up; BlackHawk, StarHawk, and Usagi step out of it, and BlackHawk says: "FINALLY!!!! Someone says SOMETHING about Naruto that I ACTUALLY agree with!"


Naruto says: "First of all, the name is BLAZE! And you'll be sorry for doubting me!"


Diane opens up her STILL damaged Pink Limo, pulls out a BUNCH of popcorn and diet drinks for everyone else who can drink, and Captain Retro says: "TOLD you we would see a show!"


Diane asks: "Aren't WE going to help him?!"


StarHawk says: "It's better if Naruto tries it first! If we help him NOW, than he'll NEVER learn anything valuable from this experience!"


Naruto BRACES himself as if he's going to BREAK through the glass sliding doors of the restaurant, but than they INEXPLICABLY open by themselves, and the restaurant lights come on, causing Naruto to COMICALLY fall onto the floor! Naruto says: "COME ON!!!! Why DIDN'T it open for ME before?!"


An animatronic, white fox head winds in, and with an AMBIGUOUS gender voice, making it HARD to tell whether it's a male or a female, says: "Because we don't like YOUR kind, and don't like people who THINK they are BETTER than us Animatronics!"


Naruto says: "Come on! There's no NEED to act like that! You know, a SMILE would suit that PRETTY face of yours, better!"


But the white fox head just stares at Naruto blankly, and Naruto, talking louder, says: "I SAID, 'A smile--'!"


But Naruto NEVER gets to finish his thought as the White Fox head BITES his left hand, causing Naruto to leap back in pain! Naruto cries: "YOW!!!! 'SHE' bit me without saying a word! Even Joan Jett had better manners!"


The White fox Head says: "First of all, I, Mangle, am ABOVE such petty classifications such as 'Male' and 'Female'! I prefer to call MYSELF a 'Yes'! Secondly, when CREEPY, SLIMY, Narcissistic CREEPS like YOU talk to ME like that, my defenses act up; so BACK off!"


Naruto asks: "NARCISSISTIC?!!!"


Emperor Catton rears back in laughter, and he says: "Wah, ha, ha, ha! What a way for Mangle to turn the tables! What CRYPTIC creatures Robots are!"


Over the communicators, Alpha 8 asks: "CRYPTIC?! Is THAT what they're calling it, now?"


A familiar female voice says: "Stop all that RACKET!!!! Who DARES to open this restaurant when I specifically wanted IT--?!"


And FireHawk, dressed in GAUDY (even by 1980's standards) attire, steps into the light, and sees Naruto, and she asks: "YOU?!"


Captain Retro says: "If I didn't KNOW any better, I think YOU recognized that guy!"


FireHawk says: "Why wouldn't I recognize the GUY who played guitar on that one Vanity 6 song? How did it go? Oh, yeah! 'Making love until the dawn, making love to cherry bomb! Erotic city, come alive'!"


Naruto says: "That's ME, all right! SEE?! I KNEW somebody would RECOGNIZE me!"


Captain Retro says: "Statistically speaking, I suppose SOMEBODY has to!"


Usagi says: "UGH!!!! I can't BELIEVE Dr. Maniac's brainwashing made Naruto THIS dumb!"


Captain Retro says: "Oh, no. He's ALWAYS been THIS stupid! You just didn't notice because you were younger and your mind was more easily entertained by his CHEAP antics of 'Tomfoolery' and 'Buffoonery', not necessarily in that order!"


Toy Chica says: "Come on, Mangle! Let us THROUGH! I've got to help free my fellow Animatronics!"


A familiar voice comes from SPRINGTRAP, and William Afton's voice (which sounds a LOT like Alice Cooper's) says: "Can't let my FOX, do that!"


Bonkers says: "No WONDER Lucky and Miranda could NEVER find you! You were hiding WITHIN Springtrap! I'll give him credit, that's some SERIOUS dedication!"


Captain Retro says: "The voice of Alice Cooper in THIS timeline?! Actually, I can TOTALLY see it!"


Springtrap says: "FireHawk and Dr. Maniac are in the middle of making a deal! FireHawk gives Dr. Maniac all the drugs HE wants to perfect his robot mind controlling powers, and Dr. Maniac gives FireHawk all the Miami ICE that she wants! And by 'Ice', I mean 'Diamonds'! She plans on going back to her home-world to become the SUCCESSFUL sibling she has always WANTED to be!"


StarHawk says: "What?! You mean she's NOT brainwashed?!"


Captain Retro says: "Naruto; you know, somehow, 'I told you so'...JUST doesn't quite say it."


FireHawk says: "Go ahead, JUDGE me! Like you judge EVERYBODY else! You have no idea what it was LIKE for me! Having practically the SAME face as my SISTER does, yet being treated like I didn't even exist! I literally DIED once, and even THAN, my parents BARELY sent my sister a 'Sorry For Your Loss' card! That's when I KNEW that the only way I was EVER going to get THEIR attention, was by making SO much money, they couldn't POSSIBLY ignore me!"


BlackHawk says: "As your brother-in-law, I feel it only RIGHT to tell you; that you can't TRUST making a deal with Dr. Maniac! He's going to utterly betray YOU and THINK nothing of it!"


FireHawk scoffs, and says: "Well, DUH!!!! Do you think I would ever give him something ACTUALLY useful?! I gave him LOADS of expired prescription drugs, which should wear off right about--."


And suddenly Mangle starts to short-circuit, and collapses to the ground. Mangle moans, and says: "It...wasn't meant to last. It wasn't meant to last!"


Lettuce says: "Uh...I'm confused. Is FireHawk on the level, or NOT?"


Springtrap says: "I don't CARE! Either way, I'll take care of you MYSELF!!!!"


Toy Chica says: "STOP!!!!"


And right as Snaptrap tries to SAVAGELY bite Lettuce's head off, Toy Chica's Cupcake gets LODGED in Snaptrap's mouth! Electricity short-circuits from the cupcake, and a bolt HITS Lettuce, while another bolt DISLODGES FireHawk's power morphers, and they FLY into Bonker's arms, and ACTIVATE! /


Bonkers says: "Power of Earth! Air!" /


And Bonkers morphs into a MALE version of the black Ranger, but now the outfit also has SHINY Orange highlights on it, as if to mark Bonkers being the black Ranger! FireHawk says: "CURSE the Morpher's Memory! Lousy Eltarian technology! As soon as it finds a suitable user, it gives them everything they need to KNOW about becoming a Ranger!"


Captain Retro says: "I don't care WHAT your reasons for dealing with Dr. Maniac are! WRONG, is WRONG! And you are SO wrong for the Ranger Powers now! Even EBONY would be a better fit for the Black Ranger, now!"


BlackHawk asks: "Who is THAT?!"


StarHawk says: "Nobody important, BlackHawk!"


Lettuce says: "Hey, guys! I remember EVERYTHING!!!! That bolt brought back my memory! I...can't believe I got brainwashed by Dr. Maniac! And where's Pinkie?!"


Diane says: "I think you've got BIGGER problems to worry about!"


And sure enough, Toy Freddy, Toy Bonnie, Marionette, and Balloon Boy come out of their hiding places and join Springtrap! Snaptrap says: "Just as a little precaution, I installed my OWN backup system to supplant Dr. Maniac's, in case HIS got ruined!"


FireHawk says: "You can't be SERIOUS!!!! You can't hurt innocent kids! Do I STILL get my diamonds?"


Springtrap says: "NO!!!! Fool that Dr. Maniac was to trust YOU; but a bigger fool YOU were to not TRUST anyone BESIDES yourself, ESPECIALLY your sister and her FRIENDS, IF you ever THOUGHT of them as FRIENDS!"


FireHawk angrily says: "But Dr. Maniac PROMISED me a cut of ALL of his profits! He PROMISED me a freaking PERCENTAGE!!!!"


Springtrap raises his robotic arm, stops FireHawk from punching him, and lifts her up like a rag doll! Springtrap says: "Next time, get it in WRITING!!!! Nothing PERSONAL!!!!"


And Springtrap THROWS FireHawk out of the front window, and right into Emperor Catton's arms! Emperor Catton says: "I KNEW you would come to me!"


Captain Retro says: "Emperor Catton, if you value your NINE lives; put FireHawk down! She is OURS to deal with!"


Emperor Catton says: "Come on, why do you hate me? We BOTH want the same thing! We want FireHawk to taste the sweet, SWEET taste of justice!"


Captain Retro says: "I don't BUY that for a NANO-Second! And DON'T assume I hate you, just because you're an alien cat! And don't hate ME just because I'm an alien dog!"


Emperor Catton says: "You're all about justice, right? Very well, I'll PAY for FireHawk's sins on my OWN accord! Go ahead, take away one of MY nine lives!"


But before Captain Retro can even answer, Lettuce says: "Gladly! It's MORPHING Time!" /


StarHawk says: “Power of Mercury! Water!!!!” / Lettuce says: “Power of Jupiter! Lightning!!!!” / Usagi says: “Cosmorpher! Sailor Moon! White Ranger Power!!!!” / BlackHawk says: “Power of the Sun! Gold!!!!” /


Bonkers jumps in, to join them, and he says: "Look at us! Now we're BOTH Rangers!"


Lettuce grabs his hammer and he says: "I KNOW! It's AWESOME!!!! And to Paraphrase a Beatles song; 'Bang, bang; Lettuce's Silver Hammer falls down on your head! Bang, bang, Lettuce's Silver Hammer will make sure you are DEAD'!"


And Lettuce swings the hammer with all of his might, but to his SURPRISE, Emperor Catton's head SQUISHES with a cartoon sound effect, and than bounces back as if NOTHING happened! Emperor Catton says: "I'm impressed. You actually MANAGED to take away just ONE of my Nine lives!"


Usagi asks: "You mean...we got to KILL you EIGHT more TIMES?!"


Emperor Catton says: "And THAT was your ONLY free hit! I think I'm done with YOU guys, here! Do whatever you WANT with this restaurant, but FireHawk is coming with me!"


Captain Retro says: "No, wait!!!!"


But Emperor Catton and FireHawk disappear into a blank void without a trace! BlackHawk says: "Oh, no! He's GONE again! Somebody's got to put a TRACKING device on that...cat thing!"


Marionette suddenly reaches to grab the Morphed Rangers, and he says: "Did Springtrap say you could LEAVE?! We haven't even BEGUN to have a fight, yet!!!!"


And Marionette YANKS the other Rangers BACK into the restaurant, and throws up a FORCE Field around it so that Captain Retro CAN'T get in! Captain Retro says: "UGH!!!! I've been cut OFF!!!!"


Diane asks: "But you have a Force Field of your OWN! Can't you just throw it up to enter that restaurant regardless?"


Captain Retro says: "I would, but it looks like Dr. Maniac has already thought of that. That Force Field is designed to operate at the EXACT opposite frequency as mine! I can't get through no matter how much I want to!"


Diane asks: "But what about the other Rangers?"


Captain Retro says: "Don't worry about them, they'll be all right! They've gotten out of tighter spots than this! You brought the music I asked you to bring?"


Diane pulls out a cassette of Alice Cooper's "Welcome To My Nightmare", and puts it into a boom-box, and she says: "Well, I always do! But, why?"


Naruto says: "And what good will THAT do?!"


Captain Retro says: "You'll see! Because my music inspires the Rangers to save the day! And they'll be able to help Toy Chica save the other Animatronics!"


Captain Retro pushes the play button, and the action shifts to inside the restaurant. /


Toy Chica asks Lettuce and Bonkers: "Are you STILL going to be able to help me?"


Lettuce says: "We'll still be able to free the Animatronics, but under the circumstances; I'm afraid there's only one way we can free them!"


Usagi asks: "You mean...?"


Lettuce says: "That's right! We'll have to BEAT the evil programming out of them! It's the only way!"


Springtrap says: "Like you could EVER beat the evil programming of MY Animatronics!"


Toy Chica says: "WE are not YOUR Animatronics! Like we'd EVER willingly follow the commands of a CREEP like you! And I have these friends I can rely on! Don't MESS with them! Springtrap; welcome to YOUR nightmare!!!!"


And sure enough, Alice Cooper's OWN voice fills the room, as dark moody music fills the air, as Bonkers fights Balloon Boy, Lettuce fights Marionette, Usagi fights Toy Bonnie, StarHawk fights Toy Freddie, and BlackHawk fights Springtrap! Alice Cooper sings: "Welcome to my nightmare, I think you're gonna like it. I think you're gonna feel you belong. A nocturnal vacation, unnecessary sedation. You want to feel at home 'cause you belong. Welcome to my nightmare, whoa-whoa-oh! Welcome to my breakdown, I hope I didn't scare you! That's just the way we are when we come down! We sweat and laugh and scream here, 'cause life is just a dream here! You know inside you feel right at home here! Welcome to my breakdown, whoa-whoa-oh! You're welcome to my nightmare, yeah-yeah-ah! (Musical break, during which the Animatronics get beaten down one by one, until only Springtrap is left!) Welcome to my nightmare! I think you're gonna like it! I think you're gonna feel you belong! We sweat and laugh and scream here, 'cause life is just a dream here! You know inside you feel right at home here! Welcome to my nightmare, ooh-ooh-ooh!"


And the Rangers all simultaneously point their weapons at Springtrap, and to his horror, William Afton finds that he can't ESCAPE from Springtrap, as the mechanism has locked him in TIGHT! Springtrap can only sing: "Welcome to my breakdown!"

(BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)


/ And the song ends as Springtrap/William Afton is completely destroyed, and the other Animatronics whir back to life! Toy Freddie (sounding a LOT like Fred Schneider) says: "On behalf of the other Animatronics here, I want to thank you for saving us. I shudder to think what WOULD'VE happened if we had HURT anybody!"


Bonkers says: "No, problem! But you know, I thought YOU would sound more like Freddie Mercury!"


Toy Bonnie (who sounds a lot like Bonnie Tyler) says: "You're thinking of REGULAR Freddy! He's currently on loan at our Sister Location!"


Balloon Boy (who sounds a lot like Weird Al Yankovic) says: "At least NOW I can get back to my job of handing out balloons to everybody! WHEE!!!!"


StarHawk asks: "What about Marionette and Mangle? They look too badly beaten up to use anymore."


Toy Chica says: "We can combine their remaining working parts, and turn him into Toy Foxy! I'm sure the fans won't mind!"


Lettuce says: "Oh, my! In all our excitement, we almost forgot about New Year's Eve! What time is it now?!"


Toy Freddie says: "It's just about midnight!"


And sure enough, the TV turns on, and Captain Retro, Naruto and Diane rush in, to see the Times Square Ball dropping down! The Morphed Rangers take off their helmets, and Everyone says: "Ten! Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, ONE!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!"


Toy Bonnie says: "Welcome to 1983! I have a GOOD feeling about this year!"


Captain Retro says: "Well, with William Afton out of the picture; I have a feeling that ANYTHING is possible!"


BlackHawk looks through the restaurant, and says: "Well, if Dr. Maniac WAS here; he's long gone. No trace of him LEFT here!"


Usagi says: "He must have bolted it as soon as he discovered FireHawk deceived him!"


Captain Retro says: "He's not the ONLY one FireHawk deceived!"


And he looks to Naruto, who looks all depressed! Naruto says: "That woman...I don't know why; but I feel like...I knew her. I LOVED her! I thought she loved ME! So, why would she BETRAY me?!"


StarHawk says: "Even I don't know the answer to that one! I...know my parents didn't always treat my sister like they should; but FireHawk has NEVER been so aggressively...aggressive as she was today."


Lettuce says: "Well, WE will just have to ask FireHawk about THAT once we get to her, won't we?!"


Bonkers asks: "Did you say, 'WE'?! As in, 'All of us'?!"


Captain Retro says: "Of course! Not just ANYONE can be a Ranger! A morpher chooses its user based on how good, heroic, selfless, and compassionate they are! That morpher chose YOU, once FireHawk was no longer worthy of wielding its power! And Bonkers? I think you're the right toon to be the NEW Black Ranger!"


Toy Chica says: "And I want to personally thank you for helping me! I never would've been able to free the other Animatronics without your help!"


Diane Martin says: "Well, that's what Rangers do; pretty routine."


Naruto says: "Ummm, I'm STILL going to get paid for ACTUALLY showing up; right?!"


Balloon Boy says: "UGH; FINE!!!!"


And he hands Naruto a $20 bill, and Naruto sarcastically says: "Cool. An Andrew Jackson! I can TOTALLY retire! No WONDER The Beatles never take private gigs!"


And Naruto gets in his car and leaves!


BlackHawk asks: "Shouldn't have someone told HIM about being a Ranger?"


Captain Retro says: "The Akhasic Records says that the time is not right for him, or Pinkie Pie."


Lettuce says: "So, Pinkie Pie is around here somewhere?"


StarHawk says: "Well, she IS; but, you're NOT going to like what she is doing."


Lettuce asks: "Why? What HAS she been doing?!"


Usagi says: "Well...she's been making out with Prince...and NOW; Michael Jackson!"


Lettuce says: "Well...I was brainwashed! She's got to be, to! She'd NEVER make out with men who WEREN'T her husband if she WASN'T brainwashed!"


Toy Freddie says: "I hope you're right, pal!"


And just right than, the time void opens up. Captain Retro says: "Well, Lettuce. Looks like YOU'LL find out for yourself, soon enough! I wish I could go with you guys, but I've STILL got to take the long crawl! And don't worry about the Miami Police Department, I've already explained everything to Lucky and Miranda in a way they can understand. They can handle everything else from here!"


Bonkers says: "Thank you! And don't worry, I will make you PROUD of me, as a Power Ranger!"


And the other Rangers enter into the Time Void! Diane says: "Your friends certainly go a LONG way, and a long time, to ensure that evil is brought to justice!"


Captain Retro says: "I'm just glad they have a new ally they can rely on! One thing's for certain though, their mission is not over yet. They STILL have to confront FireHawk! I just hope Naruto will be ready for THAT...when the time comes!"
