I've got a feeling we haven't heard the last form that creep. The teens have returned to their Shiba House. They are sitting in a circle. All of them, except Jayden and Emily, still feeling bad about Negatron's insults. Mentor Ji is there. He walks outside their circle, talking to them. he tells them that Nighlok is a bully.

They quickly reassured her that she is and she smiles. Kevin asks his friends if he is boring to them? Jayden replies you are extremely discipline and organized. It's a great quality for a samurai. Jayden's reassuring words makes Kevin feel better. Mike pints out that Emily was the only one not affected. Mike continues. That Nighlok knew exactly how to hurt us. Why couldn't he hurt her? Mentor Ji suggests that perhaps Emily has some special powers. Emily replies it's nothing great like that. Emily explains. I was teased and called names as a kid. It made me sad. But my sister told me to pretend that the person teasing me didn't say anything at all. And it really worked. So, when the Nighlok said those things to me, it was like he didn't even say them. Jayden, Mia, and Kevin all feel sympathy for Emily as she tells her story. Mike doesn't understand. he asks her why she is always putting herself down? It makes no sense. Unless it's what you really think about herself. Emily is visibly upset. Kevin can't believe what Mike just said. Emily apologizes and quickly gets up and leaves the room. Mia is angry.

After the battle, the teens are walking through a park. Mike is carrying Emily, piggy back style, as Emily is still asleep. Mia tells her friends that Emily had said she was fine, but the Nighlok's words must have hurt her after all. Jayden remarks she did well. Everyone has something they don't want to hear. Mia is surprised and looks over at Jayden. Jayden realizes he has revealed too much and looks away. Mike tells them she was incredible. The way she fought off that Nighlok rocked! The girl got guts. Mia adds her sister would be proud. An ice cream truck comes down the road. The teens pause. Mia excitedly tells her friends that's a sound I can never forget! Ice cream trucks are my favorite. Mike adds sounds better than the gap sensor. Emily perks up and lefts her head to ask if someone said ice cream? Mike is surprised that Emily is awake. Kevin tells his friends let's got get that truck. The teens race towards the ice cream truck.
Jayden sat a little apart from his friends as he ate his breakfast. Emily was standing as she ate her bowl of cereal. Mike and Kevin were sitting next to each other. They all got a little distracted as they watched Kevin very carefully make his breakfast. Mike: What are you doing? Just eat already! Kevin: There's a right way to do everything, within the samurai code. Mike: Wow. you're so wound up, I'm surprised you can digest your food. Mia walks in with a covered dish. Mia: I came up with a new recipe. Mia places the covered plate in front of Mike and Kevin. Mia: Everybody loves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, right? So for breakfast, what could be better than a PBJ omelet! Mia uncovered the dish and it looked very unpleasant. Emily, Mike, and Kevin made discreet faces at it. Mike: Darn, I'm stuffed, I just ate. Rain check? Kevin quickly put together his cereal and started eating it, not ready to try another of Mia's recipes. Mike: Precision and discipline, hun? Mentor Ji excitedly walked into the room. Mentor Ji: Everyone, I have excellent news. The missing Swordfish Zord has been spotted at Limatal Beach. Mia: A swordfish? Mentor Ji: A zord that went missing in action years ago. If we don't catch it now, who knows when we'll get another chance. Just then the gap sensor goes off. Mentor Ji: A Nighlok attack. Jayden thought for a moment. Jayden: Kevin! Kevin eagerly stands up. Kevin: Yes. Jayden: We'll take care of the Nighlok. I want you to go catch that Swordfish Zord. Are you up for a solo mission? Kevin: Up for it? I've been waiting my whole life for it. Jayden: With your mastery of symbol power over water, I'm confident you'll capture that zord. Kevin raced out of the Shiba House and into the waiting black SUV. Jayden, Mike, Mia, and Emily raced into the city. They ended up in a parking garage. Mike: Where's the Nighlok? Jayden and the rest spotted a man laying on the pavement and ran over to him. Mike and Emily kneeled by the man as Jayden and Mia continued to scan the area. Emily: Are you alright? Mike: He can barely move. Jayden noticed an unpleasant smell. Jayden: What's that smell? Yamiror came out from between the cars and faced them. Yamiror: Hey, you saying I got a certain air about me? Mike and Emily quickly stood up. Jayden: Samuraizer! Jayden, Mia, Mike, and Emily: Go Go Samurai! The four teens morphed and had their Spin Swords ready. Red Ranger: Let's get him! Red Ranger, Green Ranger, Pink Ranger, and Yellow Ranger raced towards Yamiror. Red Ranger, Pink Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Green Ranger battled Yamiror with their Spin Swords. Yamiror: Once you sniff my funky smell, you'll say I'm a knockout! Soon it was Green Ranger battling Yamiror with his Forest Spear. Yamiror: One whiff of my breath, will leave you feeling in the dumps. Green Ranger: No thanks, I'll pass. Yamiror: But I insist. Yamiror came face to face with Green Ranger. He released his breath, which was a green gas that surrounded Green Ranger. Green Ranger went flying and hit the pavement. Green Ranger: You've been gardening with garbage? Green Ranger stood up but it was too much for him. He demorph and hit the pavement. Yellow Ranger: Mike! Red Ranger, Pink Ranger, and Yellow Ranger raced over to Mike. Pink Ranger and Yellow Ranger kneel by him. Yellow Ranger: Mike, are you okay? Pink Ranger: That stink immobilized him. Red Ranger: Come on stinkpot! Red Ranger charged towards Yamiror. He battled him with his Spin Sword once more. Yamiror: Garlic and onions are all I eat. Pickle toothpaste, quite a treat. But I haven't brushed my teeth in ages. Give it up. You're no match for the fink of stink. During the battle, Red Ranger and Yamiror fell out of the parking garage. Yamiror: Looks like you're falling for me. They both crashed into a bunch of crates. Red Ranger got up and faces Yamiror: Yamiror: Hey, take a breather. Yamiror blew his green gas towards Red Ranger. Red Ranger crashes into several boxes and demorphs. Jayden could only helplessly watch as Pink Ranger and Yellow Ranger leaped into the area. They both raced over to Jayden. Yellow Ranger: Jayden, are you alright? Pink Ranger stood up and faced Yamiror. Pink Ranger: You really are a stinker! Yamiror: Come here! Pink Ranger battled Yamiror with her Spin Sword. Yamiror: You look pretty in pink. Wish I had a sardine sandwich to share with you. Yellow Ranger quickly joined the battle. Yamiror: Oh wait! I could rumble up a big juicy burp. Maybe I'll serve it up with a side of hale toes. Pink Ranger and Yellow Ranger faced Yamiror. Yamiror: Here it comes! The green gas hit both Rangers and they demorph and landed on the pavement close to Jayden. Yamiror: From my head to my toes, I don't smell like roses. Yamiror laughed as he walked away. Jayden weakly cried out. Jayden: Nighlok! Somehow, they managed to get back to their Shiba House. Mentor Ji placed them in sick beds as they were poisoned and running very high fevers. Later, Jayden heard the gap sensor go off. He struggled to get up and stumbled a little in the hall where Mentor Ji was talking to Kevin, who was still at the beach, trying to capture the Swordfish Zord. Mentor Ji: Jayden, what are you doing? Jayden: You heard the gap sensor. There's a Nighlok to fight. He started walking down the fall and stumbled to his knees. Mentor Ji helped him back up. Mentor Ji: You can't defeat a Nighlok in your condition. Jayden pushed Mentor Ji away. Jayden: Maybe not, but at least I can slow him down. Mentor Ji: Just wait until Kevin comes home with the Swordfish Zord. I think it can cure all of your fevers. Mentor Ji spoke back into the phone. Mentor Ji: Kevin. Jayden ripped the phone away from Mentor Ji. Jayden leans against the wall. Jayden tells Kevin that Mentor Ji is exaggerating. Don't worry about me. Focus on your mission. I didn't randomly choose you for this mission. I choose you because of your commitment and discipline. I know you can overcome any obstacle. Kevin replies, I won't let you down. Jayden tells Mentor Ji he will take care of the Nighlok. Mentor Ji watches as Jayden pushes himself to head out. Red Ranger makes it into the city and battles Yamiror. As they battle, Yamiror tells Red Ranger, maybe you're not quite smelling it yet, but the sour stink of defeat is heading your way. Red Ranger starts to struggle in his battle against Yamiror. Yamiror tells Red Ranger, you can try and stop it, but my nostril melon p.u. is still working on you. Yamiror uses his eyes to blast Red Ranger. Red Ranger demorphs and hits the pavement. Yamiror laughs. He tells Jayden, you lost your swagger and your outfit. Jayden reaches over for his Spin Sword. Jayden slowly gets back up. Yamiror warns him, a third strike of his stench might put him out for good. Jayden charges towards Yamiror with his Spin Sword. Jayden and Yamiror battle. Yamiror knocks Jayden to the pavement. Yamiror is about to strike Jayden when suddenly Mike leaps in and kicks Yamiror, knocking him to the pavement. Emily and Mia come racing up. Emily kneels by Jayden, to see if he is okay. Jayden is not happy. He tells them they shouldn't be here, they are sick. Mike replies, oh yeah, and you're fit as a fiddle. Yamiror gets back up. Jayden shouts out a warning as Yamiror uses his eyes to blast them. Dragon Folding Zord flies in and blocks the blast. Kevin comes running up with his Hydro Bow. Kevin places the disc onto the Hydro Bow and shoots it up into the sky. Sparkly rain falls down and land on Jayden, Mike, Mia, and Emily. Yamiror is upset - not purifying rain! There goes my stink power! Mia notes it worked. That swordfish healed us. Jayden, Mia, Mike, Kevin, and Emily pull out their Samuraizers and morph. The Rangers race towards Yamiror with their Spin Swords. The Rangers battle Yamiror. Blue Ranger places his disc on his Spin Sword and calls out Dragon Splash. Blue Ranger adds if anyone ever needed a bath, it's this jerk. Yamiror is knocked to the pavement. Yamiror shouts out, that water is so freezing, it's got me wheezing. Red Ranger activates his Fire Smasher. Blue Ranger races over to him. Blue Ranger suggests Red Ranger use his Swordfish disc. Red Ranger replies, you do it. I'll help keep it steady. Blue Ranger is very happy. He places the Swordfish disc onto Fire Smasher. Red Ranger and Blue Ranger both swing Fire Smasher around. Yamiror gets back up as Five Disc Swordfish Cannon is formed. The Rangers blast Yamiror with the Five Disc Swordfish Cannon and Yamiror is defeated. A few moments later, Yamiror grows to giant size and thanks the Rangers for their help. Now I can really make a big stink about this. The Power Rangers quickly summon their folding zords. When they arrive, the Rangers leap inside them. The Samurai Megazord is quickly formed. Yamiror tells them I've got big news for you. The bigger I am, the bigger the stench. This time Yamiror's stench was a thick fog. Yellow Ranger protested that she can't see. Blue Ranger warned his friends to be careful. Green Ranger pointed out that they were sitting ducks. Yamiror quickly struck Samurai Megazord with his sword. Samurai Megazord lost it's shield. Yellow Ranger noted, this isn't good. Blue Ranger thought that maybe the Swordfish Zord can cancel out this fog. Blue Ranger summoned the Swordfish Zord and leaped inside it when it arrived. The Swordfish Zord launched two torpedoes, which hit Yamiror in the chest. Swordfish Zord used it's sharp sword to poke Yamiror in the rear. Blue Ranger suggested they combine to show this creep what they can really do. Green Ranger thinks it's a great idea. The Swordfish Zord combines with the Samurai Megazord to form Swordfish Fencer Megazord. Red Ranger calls out for twin blade mode and the sword transforms. Swordfish Fencer Megazord battles Yamiror with it's sword. Several torpedoes launched out of the Megazord and hit Yamiror. This knocks Yamiror's sword away. Inside the cockpit, the Rangers call out for Mega Blade to activate! Mega Blade Strike Position! The Megazord's sword positions it's self on top of Swordfish Fencer Megazord. Swordfish Fencer Megazord strikes Yamiror. The Rangers call out Swordfish Slash! Yamiror is destroyed. After the battle, Jayden, Kevin, Mike, Emily, and Mia walk along the beach. Kevin is holding the Swordfish disc and is very pleased with himself as he looks at it. Mike comments, the sweet smell of success. Emily grabs one of Mike's arms as Mia grabs the other and they race with him into the waves. Jayden walks up to Kevin. He asks him, so how does it feel to see all that training pay off? Kevin replies, it feels great. But it wasn't just my training. You know, all the practice and dedication in the world doesn't mean much, unless you truly believe in yourself too. Jayden smiles and nods his head in agreement. Mia shouts out to them, next time we have a day off, we should come back and spend the whole day at the beach! Kevin replies, only if you promise to bring some sunscreen. Man, I got fried out here! Jayden and Kevin walk towards their friends.
