Page Two

Jayden, Mike, Mia, Emily, and Kevin are out in the courtyard, working on their power symbols on easels. Mentor Ji is watching their work and talking to them as he takes a look at each easel. Mentor Ji: "There is more to being a Power Ranger than mastering a sword. You must also learn to use your inherent samurai symbols." Mentor Ji pauses by Jayden. Mentor Ji: "Aha, fire symbol." The paper on the easel burns as does the brush Jayden is holding. Jayden blows out the fire on his brush. Next up is Kevin. Mentor Ji: "Yes, water." Water splashes on Kevin's face. Mentor Ji pauses at Emily's easel. Mentor Ji: "Good, earth symbol." A boulder appears on the paper and then drops off, landing on Kevin's foot. Kevin hops around in pain. Emily hurries over to Kevin. Emily: "Sorry! Are you okay?!" Kevin: "Yeah, I'm fine." Mentor Ji chuckles and then walks over to Mia to look at her power symbol. Mentor Ji: "The symbol for wind." Wind leaves the easel and blows through Mia's hair and she smiles. Mentor Ji: "Very good." Mike is struggling with his power symbol. Mike: "That's not right. Is it this way? That's it!" Mentor Ji walks over to Mike and looks at his power symbol. Mentor Ji: "The order of the strokes is wrong. Mike, you must practice more." Mike: "Okay, I get it, practice." Mike holds his brush towards the easel and pauses, unsure of what to do. Mike quickly looks at Mentor Ji and puts his hand on Mentor Ji's shoulder. Mike: "How about a lunch break? You'll be amaze at how well I practice after two slices of pizza." Mentor Ji glances at Mike's hand and Mike removes his hand quickly. They both look at his easel. Later, the gap sensor goes off. Jayden hurries in and quickly glances at the map at the table. Jayden: "Samurai we have a battle to fight." Jayden races out of the room. After a few moments, Mike, Emily, Mia, and Kevin race after him. Scorpionic and several Moogers are attacking the city. Suddenly Lion Folding Zord attacked him. Scorpionic tried to swat it away. Scorpionic: "You buzzing tin can!" Lion Folding Zord lands on Jayden's hand. Scorpionic: "Who's this?" Jayden and his friends did not reply. All: "Samuraizers! Go Go Samurai!" Jayden and his friends morph. All: "Samurai Rangers Ready! Rangers Together! Samurai Forever!" Scorpionic: "Attack!" Red Ranger: "Let's roll!" Red Ranger and the rest of the Rangers race towards the Moogers with their Spin Swords drawn. Red Ranger and the rest of the Rangers battled the Moogers. Blue Ranger: "Hydro Bow!" Blue Ranger destroyed several Moogers with his Hydro Bow. Pink Ranger: "Sky Fan!" Pink Ranger destroyed another batch of Moogers with her Sky Fan. Green Ranger: "Forest Spear!" Green Ranger battled and destroyed several Moogers with his Forest Spear. Red Ranger: "Fire Smasher!" Red Ranger destroyed several Moogers with his Fire Smasher. Red Ranger: "Hate to fire smash and dash, but...a huge explosion took place. Red Ranger race towards the source. Scorpionic has continued to destroy the city while the Rangers had been busy battling the Moogers. Scorpionic: "There goes the neighborhood! Red Ranger runs up to him and tries to hit him with his Fire Smasher, instead the Fire Smasher gets caught in Scorpionic's sword. Eventually Red Ranger is able to free his Fire Smasher. Red Ranger battles Scorpionic with his Fire Smasher. A short distance away, Yellow Ranger is battling a group of Moogers with her Earth Slicer. Yellow Ranger throws her Earth Slicer, and it destroys each Mooger it hits. But it continues and hits Red Ranger. Scorpionic takes advantage of the distraction and strikes Red Ranger hard. Scorpionic: "Wow! Crunch time!" Red Ranger goes flying, hits a building, and slides down to the ground. His Spin Sword lands a distance away from him. Yellow Ranger: "Oh no!" Yellow Ranger feels awful and she runs over to check on Red Ranger. Yellow Ranger: "I hit you by mistake!" Scorpionic is about to strike. Scorpionic: "Bye bye Ranger!" Pink Ranger,: "Emily!" Blue Ranger: "Watch out!" Yellow Ranger: "Jayden, I'll cover you!" Yellow Ranger stands protectively in front of Red Ranger as the rest of the Rangers reach them. Scorpionic: "Whirlwind side attack!" The Rangers are hit. Blue Ranger, Green Ranger, Pink Ranger, and Yellow Ranger demorph as they hit the ground. Scorpionic: "There. Beating them is like taking candy from a baby." Scorpionic laughs as he walks away. Red Ranger struggles as he stands up. Red Ranger: "We must stand and be strong. Either we will defeat the Nighlok or we will be defeated. Understood?" Mike is struggling to get up. Mike: "Yeah, yeah, I know." Emily groans. She is still face down in the rubble. Mia: "Emily!" Mia hurries over to Emily's side. Mia: "Are you okay?!" Red Ranger walks over to Mia. Red Ranger: "Mia, stay with her. There's a girl left behind. I must save her." Red Ranger walks towards his Spin Sword. Emily: "Don't worry about me. Go help the Red Ranger." Red Ranger pulls out his Spin Sword and races towards Scorpionic. Scorpionic: "You?!" Red Ranger and Scorpionic battle. Red Ranger knocks Scorpionic to the ground. Red Ranger runs towards the young girl. Red Ranger: "Don't worry we will protect you." The girl's mother appears and yells for Hannah. Red Ranger takes Hannah to her mother. The mother takes Hannah away. Scorpionic is furious. Red Ranger and Scorpionic face each other. Scorpionic and Red Ranger charge towards each other with their weapons drawn. Scorpionic knocks Red Ranger down. Scorpionic prepares another whirlwind attack. Mike, Emily, Mia, and Kevin morph. The four Rangers charge forward with their Spin Swords.

Blue Ranger strikes Scorpionic with his Spin Sword. Pink Ranger, Green Ranger, and Yellow Ranger, one after the other, strike Scorpionic with their Spin Swords. The four Rangers gather around Red Ranger. Blue Rangers asks, what now? Red Ranger replies, our Spin Swords will turn him into dust. With their Spin Sword, the Rangers use the quintuple slash to defeat Scorpionic. Scorpionic grows to giant size. The Rangers summon their zords. The zords race towards Scorpionic. Scorpionic swings his swords at them. Red Ranger tells the team, zords are not enough here. We have to combine forces. Blue Ranger gets excited. A zord combination, right? Let's do it! Green Ranger, Pink Ranger, and Yellow Ranger are ready. Blue Ranger gives the command, zords combine! The four zords, in case mode, are stacked on top of each other. Blue Ranger announces they are ready. Pink Ranger is confused. Are we suppose to look like this? Blue Ranger replies, I'm not sure. Scorpionic is confused as well. What is that? A Ranger totem pole. Yellow Ranger replies, if totem pole crushes Nighlok, you got it! Scorpionic states, you baby Rangers are playing with blocks? Red Ranger is still flying around in his zord. He asks Blue Ranger, what have you done? Blue Ranger becomes alarmed. Oh no! Did I make a mistake? Red Ranger tells Blue Ranger, you left me out. Blue Ranger feels bad. Oh no! I did it wrong! Green Ranger is not happy about being the low man on the totem pole. Green Ranger starts to shake his zord, which makes the whole thing start to wobble. Scorpionic laughs and swings his sword, hitting the zords and knocking them down. Red Ranger states, this time, I'll start it. The zords combine once more, this time forming the Samurai Megazord. Blue Ranger apologizes to the rest of the Rangers. Yellow Ranger replies, no worries Kev. We got it now. Scorpionic charges towards the Megazord. Samurai Megazord and Scorpionic battle with their swords. Scorpionic swings and misses the Megazord, hitting a building instead. The battle continues between Scorpionic and Samurai Megazord. Samurai Megazord knocks Scorpionic to the ground. Scorpionic gets back up and summons several giant Moogers. The giant Moogers soon have the Megazord surrounded. Scorpionic screams, attack! Samurai Megazord battles the giant Moogers. Several of the giant Moogers have chains and they throw them at Megazord's hands. Samurai Megazord's hands are pulled tight and cannot defend itself as the rest of the Moogers use their staffs to strike it. Scorpionic laughs. Yellow Ranger asks, what do we do now? Red Ranger tells them to stay strong, stay brave. Red Ranger gives the command, furious lion howl. The lion head roars and flames shoot out, hitting a couple of the Moogers. Samurai Megazord then uses the chains to lift the remaining Moogers up in the air. The four Moogers crash into each other. Samurai Megazord uses it's sword and battles the Moogers.

Emily is lagging behind her friends and a little sad. Mentor Ji greets them, telling them well done, all of you. Jayden thanks him. Mike notices Emily's expression and asks her, what's up? Emily tells them, well I almost let you all down today. Jayden tells her, you did great. You were really strong. Mia walks over to Emily and tells her, your big sister would be really proud of you. Jayden's and Mia's reassurances comfort Emily and she feels better. Mike announces he has a surprise for them. I've learned a new symbol. Mentor Ji is pleasantly surprised. Jayden and Mentor Ji exchange amused glances. Mike does the power symbol for fun and confetti falls from the ceiling. Mike back flips into the area and starts dancing. Emily bursts out laughing. Jayden and Mia grin. Mike continues his dance moves. Kevin and Mentor Ji nod their heads in unison. Emily continues to laugh. Mike finishes his dance routine to the amusement of his friends.

Kevin, Mia, Mike, and Emily are training outside their base. Jayden watches them train. Mentor Ji is supervising them and talking as well. Mentor Ji: The life of a samurai must be one of discipline and order. Samurai must constantly improve their skills, to ready themselves for battle. Kevin accidentally hits Mike with his stick. Jayden steps forward. Jayden: Are you okay? Mike: Of course. Jayden: Get into your opponent's head. Use your instincts to sense their next move and feel their attack coming. Kevin steps behind Jayden. Jayden uses his stick to strike Kevin, but Kevin is ready for him. Mike: Wow Kevin, that's amazing! Jayden then strikes Mike with his stick. Jayden: Mike, always keep your guard up. Mentor Ji: Mike, let me asks you...Jayden strikes Mike from behind. Mike; Hey, that's not fair! You distracted me. Mike realizes what they are doing. Mike: Okay, I get it. Let me try again. One more time. Jayden and Mike get into fight positions and the sparring begins. Mike does a flip as Jayden is about to strike. Jayden then hits Mike on the back of his leg. Jayden: Now watch this. Jayden then demonstrates once more with Kevin. During the demonstration, Kevin's pants fall down. Mia and Emily laugh as Kevin quickly pulls his pants back up. Emily: Hey! Where did Mike go? Everyone looks around, but no one has any answers. Later that day, Jayden is playing with his Lion folding zord when Mentor Ji walks in. Mentor Ji asks Jayden if he has seen Mike? Jayden tells him no and asks what is going on? Mentor Ji replies no one has seen him since he left practice this morning. Jayden asks where did he go? Mentor Ji doesn't have an answer for him. Later, Green Ranger is battling Rofer in the city. Red Ranger comes leaping in and battles Rofer with his Spin Sword. Red Ranger manages to knock Rofer to the ground, but it doesn't last long. Rofer uses his underground arm stretch attack on Red Ranger and knocks him to the ground. Rofer gloats that not even the Red Ranger can see what is going on underground. Blue Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Pink Ranger arrive and races over to Red Ranger. Red Ranger has landed by Mike's friends. Yellow Ranger and Pink Ranger make sure Mike's friends are okay as Blue Ranger helps Red Ranger. Red Ranger is ready to take Rofer. Rofer starts to dry out and retreats. Jayden and his friends return to their base. Mia and Emily clean up and bandaged Mike. Mentor Ji tells Mike thank goodness you were there. You prevented that Nighlok from injuring lots of people. Mike thought he could take him on his own. Kevin tells him that was brave of him, but imagine what could have happened. Mike replies I know. Jayden reminds Mike that being a samurai is the ultimate sacrifice. Since we are fighting evil, your must stay away from your family and friends, in order to keep them safe. Mike realizes that now. Mike wants to at least check on his friends and walks out. Mentor Ji is unsure. Jayden gives him a nod of approval. Evening falls. Jayden steps outside of the base and into the night air. He has his stick with him as he walks. Jayden kneels down onto the sidewalk. Jayden closes his eyes as he concentrates. If we could only read the enemy's next move. Jayden opens his eyes and starts practicing battle moves with his stick. The next day, Rofer and several Moogers are attacking the city. Jayden, Kevin, Mia, and Emily soon arrive and face them down. the four teens immediately take out their Samuraizers and morph. The four Rangers pulls out their Spin Swords, ready for battle.

Red Ranger leaps in, as Green Ranger backs away. Red Ranger blocks the fist with his Spin Sword. Rofer uses his other fist to punch Red Ranger into a column. Green Ranger leaps out of the way. Green Ranger gets up and asks Red Ranger if he is okay? Green Ranger leaps over Rofer as Rofer's fists come after him. Rofer's fist ends up hitting him. Rofer is mad and tries to yield his arms back in. But he can't as his arms are all tangle up. Green Ranger calls out Spin Sword, Forest Vortex! Rofer is defeated and falls to the ground. Pink Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Blue Ranger join Green Ranger. Soon Red Ranger joins them and warns them it's time for round two. Rofer is back as mega monsters. Green Ranger wants to take Rofer down himself. Green Ranger tosses his Spin Sword into the air and then summons his Bear zord. Green Ranger calls out Mega Mode Power! Green Ranger leaps into his Bear zord. Bear zords goes into mauling mode and battles Rofer. The rest of the Rangers are watching the battle. Blue Ranger feels Green Ranger should not be doing this on his own. Once more, Red Ranger suggests they help Green Ranger. The four Rangers summon their zords. Red Ranger's Lion zord arrives, along with the rest of the zords. Red Ranger leaps into Lion zord. His Spin Swords transforms into a joystick to operate Lion zord. Bear zord goes flying through the sky. The rest of the zords catch him. Green Ranger thanks them for having his back. Red Ranger tells his team they need to combine. The Samurai Megazord is formed. Green Ranger tells the rest that he has taken this as far as he can on his own. Let's finish this Nighlok off together. Pink Ranger is impressed and tells Green Ranger he has come a long way. Samurai Megazord battles Rofer. Rofer stretches out his arms once more and has them beneath the ground. Red Ranger instructs his team to follow his lead. Samurai Megazord stands completely still. Green Ranger asks Red Ranger what's up? Red Ranger replies just use your instincts to sense his attack. Green Ranger asks Red Ranger if he is sure? Red Ranger replies, concentrate hard enough, you can read his next move. Red Ranger instructs his team to focus and they all do. Rofer thinks they have fallen asleep. Rofer's fist breaks through the surface and Samurai Megazord is ready for it. Rofer is surprised when his arms are all ties up. Samurai Megazord uses it's sword and slices off Rofer's arms. Rofer is furious. Samurai Megazord uses it's sword to destroy Rofer. The Rangers are jubilant. Jayden and his friends return to their base. Mentor Ji is waiting for them. Everyone, except Mike, is in high spirits. Jayden tells Mike good work. Kevin adds you were great. Mia tells him the way you tricked that Nighlok was beyond creative. Emily does a wacky arm demonstration as she tells Mike you was so cool how you use his wacky arms against him. Mike tells them the truth is, I did trick him, but it wasn't enough. Actually Jayden helped me defeat him. I only anticipated the attack of one of the arms, Jayden got the other one. I couldn't have done it without him. Jayden tells him we can do anything as a team. Jayden places his hand in the middle of the circle they have formed. Mia quickly places her hand on top of Jayden's. Emily places her hand on top. Kevin does the same and finally Mike. They shout together - Rangers Together! Samurai Forever!
