ROBO KNIGHT
Page Eight
Robo Knight stood at the side of the train station. A young boy taking a drink of water from the fountain noticed him. Young boy: "Hello mister. Are you a policeman?" Robo Knight: "Policeman? No, not a policeman?" Young boy: "Then what are you?" Robo Knight: "I am a protector." Young boy: "Are you waiting for someone too?" Robo Knight: "You can say that." Young boy: "I'm so happy because my mom's coming home today. I'm excited to see her. When she gets here, I'm going to give her a big hug." Robo Knight: "Hug? Why?" Young boy: "She's been away for days, and I've missed her." Robo Knight: "Miss. I do not understand miss." Young boy: "Well, that's what you feel when someone you love is not with you." Announcer: "Attention please. All train service will now resume. Thank you for your patience." The young boy's father call him back. Robo Knight: "Hmmm. Missing someone." Red Ranger is the first to discover Metal Alice. Metal Alice summons several Loogies and Red Ranger fights the Loogies. During the fight, Red Ranger pulls out his Gosei Morpher and shouts, everyone! Robo Knight listens as Red Ranger shouts, there's a time bomb under the train tracks! Red Ranger continues to fight the Loogies as he shouts into his morpher, the train is almost here! Robo Knight responds, I am on my way. Robo Knight takes a quick glance at the boy waiting with his dad before heading out. Tensou lets them know it's a passenger train. The Rangers respond, we'll take care of it! Robo Knight arrives and Metal Alice stops him. I'll like to talk to you for a moment. Being a logical entity there's something you should seriously be considering in regards to those silly human friends of yours, the Power Rangers. Remember to those humans, you're just a machine. And what do they do when machines break? They toss them aside. They only care about what you can do for them. You're on the wrong team, but there is still time to join our side. The choice is yours. Metal Alice vanishes. Metal Alice returns to the battle. Soon the rest of the Rangers arrive and battle several Loogies and Metal Alice. Suddenly Metal Alice is struck by Lion Mechazord. Lion Mechazord lands on top of the train and reverts back to Robo Knight. Robo Knight asks Metal Alice, why do you hate the humans so much? Metal Alice replies why? Just look how inferior they are. These useless creatures must be eliminated. Metal Alice tosses up her tablet, which turns into her weapon. Metal Alice catches her weapon. Robo Knight fires at Metal Alice several times with his Robo Blaster, but Metal Alice vanishes and reappears each time unhurt. Metal Alice fights Robot Knight. Robo Knight fights Metal Alice with his Robo Blaster. As they fight, Metal Alice tells Robo Knight, this planet is not big enough for robots and humans. It's either us or them. Any way they will not be missed. Metal Alice knocks Robo Knight off the train. Robo Knight lands on his feet. Metal Alice leaps down and fights Robo Knight. Robo Knight fights Metal Alice with his Robo Blade. As they fight Robo Knight tells Metal Alice, even when there is just one human lost, there will be those who miss that person and suffer greatly from it. Metal Alice responds, I cannot comprehend why human feelings have any value. Metal Alice uses her weapon to wrap several beams of energy around Robo Knight. She flicks her weapon and Robo Knight goes flying. Robo Knight crashes onto the ground. Red Ranger sees what has happened and races over. The rest of the Rangers join Red Ranger in racing over to Robo Knight. Metal Alice fires at the Rangers. The Rangers manage to block the blasts with their Ultra Swords. Metal Alice asks the Rangers, why do you defend him? Red Ranger replies, because we protect everyone on this planet. Yellow Ranger adds, you can't change that by adding chaos. Pink Ranger states, when things are at their worse. Blue Ranger continues, we humans rise up and protect our own. Black Ranger adds, and everyone is important to someone. The Rangers charge towards Metal Alice. The Rangers fight Metal Alice with their Ultra Swords. Robo Knight joins in with his Robo Blade. Metal Alice spins in a circle and with her weapon knocks all the Rangers off their feet. Metal Alice states, humanity makes no sense to me. Robo Knight tells her, it is true that their actions are often times hard to understand. Robo Knight charges towards Metal Alice with his Robo Blade. Robo Knight fights Metal Alice with his Robo Blade. Robo Knight lands a hard strike against Metal Alice. Robo Knight tells Metal Alice, humans appreciate their fellow man and we should respect their complex feelings they have for each other. Like a child missing his mother. Metal Alice yells nonsense! Metal Alice and Robo Knight fight again. Robo Knight uses his Robo Blade as he fights against Metal Alice. He tells her, emotions are not a weakness. Failing to see that will be your downfall. Robo Knight strikes a powerful blow against Metal Alice with his Robo Blade. Metal Alice falls to the ground. Robo Knight tells the Rangers to stop that bomb. The Rangers take off running. Robo Knight walks away. Unseen, Metal Alice gets back up on her feet. As the Rangers race towards the bomb, Yellow Ranger shouts, we've only got twelve seconds! Red Ranger shouts, it's all we need! Above Metal Alice watches the Rangers and decides to shave a few seconds off the timer. She uses her tablet to speed up the timer. The bomb goes off and part of the railway is destroyed. The Rangers fall to the ground. Metal Alice sarcastically apologizes. Did I forget to tell you about my override system? Black Ranger pounds the ground with his fist. No! Now the bridge is gone! Red Ranger yells, the train! Blue Ranger shouts, it's going to crash! The train continues to race along. Black Ranger tells the rest of the team they have to force it to stop. Pink Ranger thinks it's impossible. We won't make it. Robo Knight tells the Rangers, do not give up. Red Ranger agrees. He's right. There's always a way. Black Ranger adds, we can't give up. Pink Ranger tells the team, for the people on that train. Yellow Ranger adds, and for everyone on Earth. The Rangers struggle, but they manage to stand back up. Gosei contacts the Rangers and tells them, your perseverance has earned a new power. Power Cards drop down into the Rangers' hands. They are the Gosei Jet Power Cards. Robo Knight tells them, quickly! Summon your zords. The train is only seconds away. Robo Knight pulls out his morpher and transforms into Lion Mechazord. The Rangers insert the new cards into their morphers and summon Gosei Jet. Gosei Jet arrives. Gosei Jet is five zords, condor, elephant, dolphin, beetle, alligator, that form a bridge across the broken train tracks. Lion Mechazord leads the train safety over the tracks. Once the train passes, the five zords fly away. Metal Alice is not happy. She tells them, you have not won humans. This calls for desperate measures. Metal Alice summons the Zombats and has them enlarge her. Metal Alice becomes giant size. Lion Mechazord is activated once more. The Rangers enter the Gosei Jet Mechazords and use their new Power Cards to activate Gosei Jet Megazord. Lion Mechazord combines with the Knight Brothers Zords and becomes Gosei Grand Megazord. Gosei Jet Megazord and Gosei Grand Megazord face down Metal Alice. She tells them, you've ruined my plan and damaged the body my master made for me. Now you'll pay for scarring that body! Metal Alice uses her weapon to blast both megazords. Red Ranger states, we will do whatever we can to protect this world with all our powers. Gosei Jet Megazord kicks Metal Alice hard. The elephant mechazord blasts Metal Alice. Gosei Grand Megazord punches Metal Alice several times. Metal Alice falls to the pavement. Red Ranger states, let's teach her that we won't allow anyone to put humans in danger and how powerless against the human spirit she really is. Metal Alice gets back up and replies, what? That's a joke. Metal Alice charges towards Gosei Jet Megazord and tries to strike it with her weapon, but Gosei Jet Megazord blocks the strike. Gosei Jet Megazord forces the weapon down and then strikes Metal Alice. Metal Alice stumbles backwards. Red Ranger declares, let's finish this robo wreck! The Rangers activate their victory charge. Metal Alice is hit with the victory charge jet strike. She falls to the pavement in an explosion. The Rangers cheer. The Rangers state, and that's the end of Metal Alice. Afterwards, the train arrives at the station. The young boy waits anxiously for the sight of his mother. She suddenly appears and spots him. They run towards each other and give each other a big hug. The husband joins them and gives his wife a hug and kiss on the cheek. He picks up her luggage and the family walks off together holding hands. Robo Knight watches the whole scene. As the family walks pass, the boy glances back and gives Robo Knight a wave. Robo Knight waves back. Robo Knight realizes what he has been doing and is a little confused. The teens walk up behind Robo Knight. They had also spotted Robo Knight waving. Ready to tease, Emma asks her friends, did everyone see that? Gia answers yeah. Robo Knight might be a little bit human under all that metal after all. Robo Knight states, there is still much to learn about humans. I have many questions. Jake answers, oh yeah. Fire away. Robo Knight glances at Jake. Jake continues, it's okay. Shoot. Noah knows how literal Robo Knight is and is about to suggest to Jake to rephrase his sentences, when Robo Knight pulls out his Robo Blaster. Emma, Gia, Jake, and Noah become alarm and back up. Troy puts his hand on the Robo Blaster and pushes Robo Knight's arm down as he states, I think we still have a lot to learn. The teens laugh.
Robo Knight walks over to a park. He watches the people gathered there. A small girl runs and falls and begins to cry. Her mother hurries over. Mom: "Oh honey, did you trip?" She picks up her daughter and hugs her. Mom: "There, there, mommy's got you." Robo Knight: "Hmmm." Troy is working out in a field when Robo Knight walks up. Troy: "Hi!" Robo Knight: "What are tears?" Troy continues to practice his karate moves. Troy: "What?" Robo Knight: "I want to know why humans cry?" Troy: "Because we do." Robo Knight: "Why?" Troy stopped his practice. Troy: "You should ask Emma. She knows more about tears than me." Robo Knight: "Right." Robo Knight walked away. Emma is taking pictures in a different part of a field when Robo Knight walks up behind her. Robo Knight: "Pink Ranger." Emma is surprised. "What? Robo Knight?" Emma glances behind her and sees Robo Knight. Robo Knight: "A human child falls and cries out. The mother hugs the child. Why?" Emma is taking pictures and is a little distracted. "Wait. What?" Robo Knight: "Why does a mother hug her child?" Emma: "Because she loves him." Robo Knight: "Love?"
