Mia enters the room, carrying a covered plate. Kevin, Mike, Jayden, and Emily are eating breakfast. Mia: I came up with a new recipe. Mia places the platter on the table 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 removes the cover and the omelet looks very gross. Mike, Emily, and Kevin make discreet faces at the dish. Mike: Darn, I'm stuffed, I just ate. Rain check? Kevin quickly picks up the rest of the items for his cereal and pours it into the bowl. He starts eating quickly. Mike looks at him. Mike: Precision and discipline, hun? Mentor Ji excitedly walks 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. The gap sensor goes off. Mentor Ji: A Nighlok attack. Jayden thinks for a moment. Jayden: Kevin! Kevin 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 leaves to capture the rest. Mia and the rest head into the city. They end up in a parking garage. Mike: Where's the Nighlok? Mia and the rest spot a man laying on the pavement and they run over to him. Mike and Emily kneel at the man. Emily: Are you alright? Mike: He can barely move. Jayden: What's that smell? Yamiror faces the teens. Mike and Emily quickly stand up. Yamiror: Hey, you saying I got a certain air about me? Jayden: Samuraizer! Mia, Mike, Emily, Jayden: Go Go Samurai! Mia and the rest morph. Pink Ranger, Yellow Ranger, Red Ranger, and Green Ranger have their Spin Swords drawn. Red Ranger: Let's get him! Pink Ranger and the rest race forward and battle Yamiror. Yamiror talks as he battles. Yamiror: Once you sniff my funky smell, you'll say I'm a knockout! Yamiror kicks Green Ranger in the chest. Green Ranger hits the floor, but quickly gets back up and into the battle. Green Ranger battles 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 gets close to Green Ranger's helmet and releases his breath. A green gas surrounds Green Ranger. Green Ranger goes flying and hits the pavement. Green Ranger: You've been gardening with garbage? He gets up but it's too much. Mike demorphs and falls to the pavement. Yellow Ranger: Mike! Pink Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Red Ranger race over to Mike. Pink Ranger and Yellow Ranger kneel by him. Yellow Ranger: Mike, are you okay? Pink Ranger: That sink immobilize him. Red Ranger: Come on stinkpot! Red Ranger charges at Yamiror. Red Ranger battles Yamiror with his Spin Sword. 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 not match for the King of stink. Red Ranger and Yamiror fall out of the parking garage. In a few moments, Pink Ranger and Yellow Ranger leap below. They spot Jayden laying on top of some boxes. Pink Ranger and Yellow Ranger race over to him and kneel down. Yellow Ranger: Jayden, are you alright? Pink Ranger stands up and faces Yamiror. Pink Ranger: You really are a stinker! Pink Ranger and Yamiror battle. Soon Yellow Ranger joins in the battle. Yamiror hits them with his breath, and they both demorph and fall to the pavement. Mia, Mike, Jayden, and Emily manage to get back to the Samurai Shiba House. Mentor Ji places them in sick beds as they have high fevers as a result of being poisoned. Later, Jayden will leave his sick bed because Yamiror was attacking the city once more. Yamiror will defeat Red Ranger once more. Red Ranger is demorph and hits the pavement. Yamiror is about to strike Jayden when suddenly Mike leaps in and kicks Yamiror, knocking him to the pavement. Mia and Emily 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 Mia, Mike, Jayden, and Emily. Yamiror is upset - not purifying rain! There goes my stink power! Mia notes it worked. That swordfish healed us. Mia, Mike, Jayden, 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. Blue Ranger and Red 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 loses 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 summons the Swordfish Zord and leaped inside it when it arrived. The Swordfish Zord launched two torpedoes, which hit Yamiror in the chest. Swordfish Zord uses it's sharp sword to poke Yamiror in the rear. Blue Ranger suggests 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, Mia, Mike, Kevin, Emily, and Jayden walk along the beach. Emily whispers in Mia's ear. Then Emily grabs one of Mike's arms as Mia grabs the other and they race with him into the waves. They splash each other as they play in the water. Mia thinks the next time they have a day off, they should come back and spend the whole day at the beach.
Mia stood with Jayden in front of the priest. Her friends and mentor sat in the pews behind him. Priest: Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today, to join these two people in matrimony. This occasion marks the celebration of love and commitment, with which this man and this woman, begin their life together. Through marriage we make a commitment together. You promise one another to aspire to these ideals throughout the rest of your lives together. Love is patient. Love is kind. Do you promise to be faithful to her, forsaking all others for the rest of your life? Mia looks at Jayden. Priest: If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together....Mentor Ji stands up and he is talking on his phone. Mentor Ji: They took the bride! Mia and Jayden turn around. Mentor Ji: Okay. Mentor Ji hangs up. Mentor Ji: The Nighloks didn't take the bait. Emily: I thought our fake wedding would have worked for sure. Mentor Ji: Not this time. The Moogers stole to the church downtown and kidnapped another bride. Everyone was disappointed and they returned to their Shiba House. They sat around a table with a large map. Mentor Ji: That makes it five brides kidnapped. Mike pulls up another map. Mike: Hey, look. It's in a pattern. In the shape of a star. Kevin leaned over. Kevin: You're right. Have you studied maps and crime patterns before? Mike: Kind of. I watch a lot of cop shows. Kevin shakes his head. Jayden: Too much is left up to chance. We have to make sure we lure them in before any more brides are taken. Mia: I can't even begin to imagine what those poor girls are going through. I mean, this is suppose to be the happiest day of their lives. Emily: Do you think they would have taken those brides to the Sanzu River? Mentor Ji: No. The living can't survive there for long. The Moogers must have used the gap to take them somewhere else. Mia: Wherever they are, if our sting operation had worked, I could have helped those poor brides. Jayden: We'll have to try again. Kevin: But how do we get them to our wedding? Mentor Ji held out a clipboard with a list on it. Mentor Ji: Here's the list of the weddings scheduled for our area. Mia, Emily, Mike, and Kevin leaned in to take a closer look at the list. Jayden is deep in thought. Emily: There's so many weddings. That's the problem. Jayden: I have an idea. That evening, Mentor Ji returned to the Shiba House and handed the list to Mia. Mia: All of these weddings, except one, were cancelled. Mentor Ji: Yes, Jayden warned them all about the bride kidnappings. Jayden: With only one left, we know exactly which one the Nighloks will hit. Mia: I guess I have to be the blushing bride bait again. Mike takes the list from Mia. Mike: Something tells me, you're happy to wear that dress again. Emily: Mike! Every girl wants to wear a wedding gown. Maybe Mia more than others. Mike shudders. Mia: Hey, I'm a sucker for Cinderella. Jayden looks at her and raises his eyebrow. Mia catches the look and quickly becomes serious. Mia: Okay, once I get a fix on the location of the brides, I'll send back the coordinates. Jayden: And we'll be ready to come save them. The next day, Mia and her friends put their plan into action. Mia walked into the bridal chamber, startling the bride. Mia walked over to the bride. Mia: I'm so sorry to ruin your big day, but we need your help. Mike and Kevin walked in with the groom. Mike: Dud trust me, hide with the bride. The bride and groom were lead to a small room. Kevin: We don't have much time to explain, but believe me, it's for your own safety. The bride and groom were placed in the small room. Bride: What's going on? Emily: Don't worry, it's just for a little while. The outdoor ceremony began and they walked down the aisle together. Mia: I hope the Moogers show up soon. Jayden: They will and we'll get them. Mia and Jayden stopped in front of the preacher. Preacher: Friends, we've been invited here today to share a very important moment in the lives of these two young people. Their love and understanding of each other has grown and matured and now they have decided to live their lives together as husband and wife. The Moogers race up the aisle, terrifying the guests. Mia screams. More Moogers appear behind them. Mia and Jayden "fight" the Moogers. Mia is taken and placed in a rickshaw and race through a park. Mia screams the entire time. The Moogers take Mia through a gap. Mia is thrown to the floor. Dayu is there. Dayu: Nicely done Moogers. Dayu turns around and looks at Mia. Dayu: Welcome. Mia recognizes her immediately. Mia thinks to herself: That's Dayu. She's part of Master Xandred's crew. I remember reading about her in the archives. Dayu: Now, what's the best way to welcome you, Pink Samurai Ranger! Dayu yanks Mia's veil off. Mia quickly reaches for her Samuraizer, but Dayu grabs the Samuraizer and yanks Mia's arm behind her back. Dayu: Well now, what little bauble have you brought me? Dayu yanks Mia's arm harder. Dayu: You thought you tricked me, didn't you? You think we've haven't been watching you and your pathetic pals? Well, I've got you and the real bride as well. Several Moogers entered, dragging a bride and tossing her into a giant wedding cake. Mia: No, but we hid her! A Mooger has Mia's arm now and yanks it hard behind her back. Dayu: Now you're going to call your friends, just like you planned. Dayu placed the Samuraizer by Mia's ear. Dayu: Tell them you found the brides. Then tell them to go to warehouse 32, near the docks. Mia: Forget it! I won't help you send my friends into a trap! Dayu: Oh, I think you will. Because if you don't, then I'll really give those brides something to cry about. Mia relucantly placed the call. Jayden: Are you alright? Mia: Yes, I'm with the brides. We're in shorttown, near the docks, warehouse #32. And Jayden, please hurry. Jayden: Okay. We're on our way. Dayu hung up the Samuraizer. Dayu: Very good. She laughs. Later, Dayu gets word that the four Rangers were destroyed in the warehouse explosion. Dayu: Kaboom! Dayu laughs. Dayu: You Samurai Rangers are no match for me. Ahh, I haven't felt this good in a long time. Dayu gives the order for the Moogers to destroy Mia. Suddenly the Lion Folding Zord flies in and hits Dayu and a couple of the Moogers. It flies over to Mia and drops her Samuraizer in her hands. Dayu is furious. Jayden, Mike, and Kevin walk in. Dayu wants to know how they escaped the warehouse. Mia stands up and tells Dayu it's her turn to cry. I'm not the only Samurai Ranger that has been kidnapped today. From within the giant wedding cake comes several glowing strikes. The cake falls apart to reveal Emily and the brides. Emily tells Dayu, two Samurai brides are twice as nice. Don't you think? Dayu doesn't understand how it can be. Emily replies, pretty easily, actually. When Mia traded places with the real bride, we made sure she had double bride protection. So, when you came to kidnap the real bride, guess who you ended up kidnapping instead? Once Emily was inside the cake, she contacted Jayden. Dayu is still confused - but the warehouse? Who went there? Jayden replies our doubles. Jayden, Kevin, and Mike used their symbol power to create doubles. Dayu becomes upset as the brides race out of the building. In the process, they knock over Dayu's wedding gown and it becomes trampled on and destroyed. Emily tells Dayu, it looks like her dressmaking days are over. Dayu replies, oh yeah, we'll see about that. Dayu blows smoke out of her mouth to blast the teens. Mia, Jayden, Emily, Mike, and Kevin quickly morph. Dayu and the Moogers slip outside. The Power Rangers are ready for her. They soon surround Dayu. Dayu has the Moogers attack. The Rangers battle the Moogers with their Spin Swords. During the battle, Dayu manages to slip away. The Rangers soon note that she is missing. Blue Ranger and Pink Ranger defeat their batch of Moogers, when Dayu surprises them by reappearing. Dayu blasts them off their feet. Dayu is above them. Blue Ranger summons his Hydro Bow and uses it against Dayu. Dayu is knocked down to where Blue Ranger and Pink Ranger are standing. Dayu taunts them, that's all you got?! Dayu starts strumming her shamisen as she walks towards the two Rangers. Pink Ranger and Blue Ranger race towards Dayu, with their Spins Swords drawn. The two Rangers battle Dayu. Eventually Dayu defeats them. Dayu is about to deliver the fatal blow when Red Ranger runs in and blocks it with his Spin Sword. Red Ranger and Dayu start battling. Pink Ranger and Blue Ranger get up and join Red Ranger. Dayu prepares to blast the three Rangers. Green Ranger and Yellow Ranger leap in with their Spin Swords and block the blast. Pink Ranger and Blue Ranger strike Dayu together. Pink Ranger uses her air wave and Blue Ranger uses his dragon splash. Dayu is knocked back a couple of feet. Pink Ranger and Blue Ranger join the rest of the Rangers. Red Ranger summons his Fire Smasher. Fire Smasher is quickly transformed into Five Disc Beetle Cannon. Red Ranger fires the cannon. Suddenly a mysterious figure leaps in front of Dayu. He blocks the blast with Uramasa. The Rangers wonder, who's that? The smoke clears. The mysterious figure talks directly to Red Ranger. Red Ranger, you shall be my sword's, Uramasa, greatest challenge. Pink Ranger wonders what that means? The mysterious figure continues to speak to Red Ranger once more. Red Ranger, we will dual soon. Until then. The mysterious figure grabs a hold of Dayu and leaps up onto a cliff. Blue Ranger can't believe they are running away. Yellow Ranger calls them cowards. The mysterious figure summons giant Moogers to attack them. The giant Moogers seep out of the gap. The mysterious figure grabs a hold of Dayu and they leave. The Power Rangers pull out their Samuraizers. The Rangers summon their folding zords. The folding zords arrive and Samurai Megazord is formed. Beetle zord is summon and Beetle Blaster Megazord is quickly formed. Beetle Blaster Megazord battles the Moogers. Beetle Blaster Megazord strikes a couple of Moogers with it's sword. Beetle Blaster Megazord fires it's cannon. Several Moogers are destroyed. Two of the remaining Moogers grab a hold of Beetle Blaster Megazord and jam their controls. Yellow Ranger exclaims, we can't break free! Two more Moogers leap into the air and strike Beetle Blaster Megazord with their weapons. Green Ranger exclaims, we're stuck! Pink Ranger tells Red Ranger, we got to change things up fast. Red Ranger agrees. Samurai Megazord blasts and breaks free of the four giant Moogers. Blue Ranger summons Swordfish zord. Swordfish zord launches it's torpedoes. It destroys one of the Moogers. Swordfish Fencer Megazord is formed. The Rangers call out, Megablade, strike position! When the sword is in position, the Rangers call out, Swordfish Slash! The three remaining Moogers are destroyed. After the battle, Mia and her friends go into the city. Emily is walking in the middle of Mike and Kevin. Mia and Jayden are dragging a little behind them. Mike tells Emily that she made a beautiful bride. Emily is flattered by the compliment. Emily responds, she never felt so pretty. Mike and Kevin continued, but Emily stops and waits for Mia. Emily notes the sad look at Mia's face and asks if she is alright? Mia replies, yeah, I guess so. Emily tries to cheer her up. Hey, because of you, all those brides were saved and will have their special day after all. Mia responds, what Dayu did was terrible, but, I can't shake the feeling that all of Dayu's anger came from some past sadness. I mean, why was she so into that wedding dress? Oh well, I just hope one day it will be my turn to play the bride for real. Emily tells her not to worry. You will, I'm sure of it. Emily spots a bakery and points it out to Mia. Emily tells Mia, there's nothing like a cupcake to make you feel better. Mia smiles. Emily and Mia start heading over to the bakery shop. They meet up with Mike and Kevin standing outside. Emily notices Jayden is quite a distance from them. Emily goes over to invite Jayden to join them. Jayden glances over and Mia, Mike, and Kevin wave. Emily and Jayden start heading over to the bakery. Mia, Kevin, and Mike go ahead and enter the bakery shop.
