Out in the courtyard of Shiba House, Red Ranger and Blue Ranger are sparring with their Spin Swords. Mia, Emily, Mike, and Mentor Ji are watching them. Mike: He's got mad skill. I'm impressed. Mentor Ji: Yes. Jayden's one of the best that's ever been. Mike: I was talking about Kevin. He's right up there with Jayden. Mentor Ji looked surprised. They continued to watch the two Rangers. Emily: He's so graceful with the sword. Mentor Ji grinned. Mentor Ji: Yes. Jayden's always had that quality. Even as a child. Emily: I meant Kevin. Mentor Ji was really taken aback. Mia: Kevin's technique is better. Mentor Ji stepped forward and faced them. Mentor Ji: They are both excellent swordsmen. Practice sparring is one thing, but true skills shown in battle, is what really counts. Mike: I'd hate to see what would happen if they really had to battle each other. Mia laughs. Mia: That would never happen. Nothing could ever make Kevin fight against a fellow Ranger. Emily agreed. Emily: He's true blue. The practice ends with Red Ranger making a strike against Blue Ranger. Blue Ranger: Good match Jayden. I obviously need more practice. Red Ranger: Hey, don't beat yourself up over a lost point. Blue Ranger: Okay, let's go again! Blue Ranger and Red Ranger face each other again for another practice. Later, the gap sensor goes off and Pink Ranger and the rest of the Rangers race out of Shiba house. The Samurai Power Rangers are racing through the woods. They soon see Madimot walking through the woods. Red Ranger: Hold it right there, Nighlok! Red Ranger pulls out his Spin Sword. Red Ranger: We're going to whip you into shape! Madimot swung his whip around as he talked. Madimot: You really want to tangle with me. I'm Madimot! The baddest of the bad from the Sanzu. Green Ranger challenges Madimot. Let's see if you can back up all that talk. Madimot thinks having back up is a good idea. He whips the ground and calls out, here kitty, kitty! In the distance, dirt starts spraying out from beneath the ground. Red Ranger recognizes the Tiger Zord when it emerges. The Tiger Zord roars. Madimot asks the Rangers if they are surprised?! When the earth cracked opened and you sealed Master Xandred in Netherworld, your Tiger Zord fell in the crevice too. I tamed it and made it my pet kitty. The Tiger Zord roars once more. Green Ranger is outrage that Madimot would refer to Tiger Zord as his pet. Blue Ranger tells Red Ranger, we got to get him back. Madimot tells them, his spell is too powerful, he is mine. Madimot then casts another spell. Red Ranger notices and instructs his team to duck. Red Ranger pushes Pink Ranger and Yellow Ranger to the ground. Blue Ranger tells Green Ranger to get down. Madimot blasts his spell ray at Green Ranger. Blue Ranger pushes Green Ranger out of the way and is hit. In a great deal of pain, Blue Ranger falls to his knees. Green Ranger goes over to Blue Ranger to make sure he is okay. Blue Ranger becomes angry and throws Green Ranger aside. Pink Ranger hurries over to Green Ranger. Green Ranger wonders what was that all about? Red Ranger quickly concludes that Blue Ranger is in a trance. Madimot boasts that he has gain a new pet. Madimot gives the order to Blue Ranger to attack. With his Spin Sword drawn, Blue Ranger races over to Pink Ranger and Green Ranger, ready to battle. Green Ranger tries to stop Blue Ranger, but instead ends up clashing swords with him. Pink Ranger joins in the battle and concludes Blue Ranger is under mind control. Blue Ranger strikes Pink Ranger with his Spin Sword. Yellow Ranger yells at Blue Ranger, to stop it! Blue Ranger races over to battle Yellow Ranger and Red Ranger. Red Ranger leaps over Blue Ranger. Red Ranger races towards Madimot. Madimot is eager to add Red Ranger to his pet collection and casts another spell ray. Red Ranger quickly creates a symbol power that blocks the spell. Red Ranger leaps into the air and strikes Madimot's shield with his Spin Sword. Red Ranger and Madimot battle. Red Ranger makes several powerful strikes against Madimot. Madimot is knocked to the ground. He becomes angry and tells Tiger Zord to chew them up. Tiger Zord blows his breath towards Red Ranger. Red Ranger leaps out of the way. Blue Ranger knocks Yellow Ranger down with his Spin Sword. Pink Ranger and Green Ranger race over to Yellow Ranger's side. Yellow Ranger confesses she can't fight Kevin. Blue Ranger launches his Dragon Splash on Pink Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Green Ranger. The three Rangers are hit and land on the ground demorph. Although still fighting Red Ranger, Madimot is delighted with Blue Ranger knocking out three Rangers and tells him good move. Red Ranger sees his friends hurt. Blue Ranger is about to strike again. Red Ranger screams no! Red Ranger pushes aside Madimot and leaps over to his friends. Red Ranger states, we better blaze a trail out of here. Red Ranger spins the disc on his sword and all four of them vanish. Mia, Emily, Mike, and Jayden enter Shiba House, battle worn. Mentor Ji trails behind them. Mentor Ji tells them, this isn't good. It's going to be very hard to break that monster's spell on the Tiger Zord and Kevin. Jayden stands next to Mentor Ji and tells him, we need a plan. Jayden sits down as Mentor Ji walks after him. Mentor Ji warns Jayden to be prepare to make tough choices if need be. Mia, Emily, and Mike watch and listen to them. Jayden wants to try and break that Nighlok's spell on Kevin, before it gets to that. Mentor Ji nods his head in agreement. Mia, Emily, Mike, and Jayden are all worried. After awhile, at Shiba House, the gap sensor goes off once more. Mentor Ji pulls up a map and looks at it when Mia, Emily, and Mike come running into the room. They run over to Mentor Ji. Mike asks, where's Jayden? Mentor Ji replies, he's already gone to battle the Nighlok. Mike becomes very angry. Are you kidding me? What about Kevin? Mentor Ji looks away. Mike continues, the Nighlok will make him fight Jayden. Mentor Ji is hopeful that won't happen. Mentor Ji reminds them that it is their duty to protect the people. He may have no choice. Mike shouts, there's always a choice. Mentor Ji tells Mike to have faith in his leader. Mentor Ji turns around and looks at the gap sensor. Mike stands by his shoulders, still upset with him and wanting to challenge him. Mia walks up and tells Mike, we have to help Jayden. Mia walks away and Emily comes forward. She tells Mike, and hope Kevin comes to his senses. Mike reluctantly leaves with Mia and Emily. Soon Mia, Emily, and Mike race up as Jayden faces down Madimot. They are ready to morph and Mike shouts out, Jayden, we're here to help! Jayden tells them no. I can't put anyone else at risk. Jayden tells Madimot, you want a show. I'll give you the show of your life, Nighlok. Emily calls out, Jayden. Mia and Mike are worried. Madimot wishes he had some popcorn. He jumps on top of construction equipment to watch. Madimot gives Blue Ranger the command to attack. Emily becomes very worried. Blue Ranger pulls out his Spin Sword. Jayden pulls out his Samuraizer and morphs. Emily tells Mia and Mike, he won't hurt Kevin. Mia only hopes Emily is right. Red Ranger pulls out his Spin Sword. Blue Ranger and Red Ranger face each other. Mike can't believe this is happening. Blue Ranger and Red Ranger slowly circle each other. Mia, Emily, and Mike watch. Suddenly the two Rangers race towards each other and start fighting with their Spin Swords. Mike gets angry once more - what are you thinking? That's Kevin! Blue Ranger and Red Ranger continue to fight each other with their Spin Swords. Mia, Emily, and Mike can only watch. The battle goes throughout the construction site. Emily screams, wake up Kev! Mia screams, you can't fight Jayden! But the two Rangers continue to fight each other. As they fight, Red Ranger tries to talk to Kevin. Come on Kevin, I know you're in there. During the battle, sometimes Red Ranger gets knocked to the ground. Other times it's Blue Ranger. Blue Ranger uses Dragon Splash against Red Ranger. A huge explosion occurs, but Red Ranger is okay. Mia, Emily, and Mike are very uncomfortable watching the fight. Mike comments, man, this is so uncool. Mike then screams at them to stop! Madimot has had enough of Mia, Emily, and Mike. Madimot uses his shield to blast the three teens. They are hit and fly through the air before hitting the ground. Madimot declares, no talking during the show! Mia, Emily, and Mike slowly try to get back up. A stranger (Deker) walks towards them. The stranger tells them, it looks like we have a winner. Mike asks, who are you? The stranger replies, it doesn't matter who I am. What matters is who's winning. Not the man in blue. Mia is surprised and asks him, how can you tell? The stranger replies, because he is fighting as if he is trying to win a training point rather than a real duel. Blue Ranger and Red Ranger are still battling as the three teens and stranger talk. The stranger continues, it's a whole lot different when you are fighting for survival. You fight with instinct. You have to watch your target like a hawk. It's easy to get tired in a long battle with no one to say stop. During the fight, Red Ranger kicks Blue Ranger to the ground. Blue Ranger slowly gets back up. The battle has moved and now Mia, Emily, Mike, and the stranger watch the battle from above. The stranger continues to talk during the battle. The Red Ranger has a good stance. It's reduces arm fatigue. He'll stay strong and when the Blue goes for the point, Red will see his opening and strike. He's looking for a decisive blow. That's the difference between these two. Blue Ranger charges towards Red Ranger with his Spin Sword raised above his head. Red Ranger tells him to come back to us, but Blue Ranger is still under the spell. Their swords clash. Red Ranger spins the disc on his Spin Sword and then strikes Blue Ranger. Electrical currents run through Blue Ranger. Kevin is in pain. The spell leaves his body. Madimot is upset - what have you done? Blue! My puppet! Blue Ranger demorphs and Kevin falls to the ground. Mia, Emily, and Mike race over to Kevin. They don't notice the stranger has walked away. Emily tries to wake up Kevin. Kevin slowly wakes up and asks what happened? Mia tells him, now we have some work to do. Mia, Emily, and Mike help Kevin up. Madimot is furious - you had this planned all along! Red Ranger explains. When we fought in the forest, my resistance symbol protected me from your mind control ray. We weren't sure if the resist disc would work on Kevin too, but I had to try. I had no other choice. Red Ranger apologizes to Kevin for risking fighting him. But I had to get in a close enough position to use the disc. Kevin is confused - fighting me? Mia nods her head at him. Red Ranger continues. Since you are such a good fighter, it took me a lot longer to get close enough to you to use it. Luckily it worked. Kevin feels terrible. He tells them, if you are up to it, I think it's time we battle someone who isn't on our team. Red Ranger replies, you're on. Mia, Emily, Mike, and Kevin pull out their Samuraizers and morph. Madimot gives the command for Tiger Zord to crush them! Tiger Zord bursts through the ground. Pink Ranger, Yellow Ranger, Green Ranger, and Blue Ranger race over to Red Ranger. He tells them to take care of the Nighlok, he'll handle the Tiger Zord. Red Ranger summons his Lion Zord and goes into mega mode. Lion Zord goes off to face down Tiger Zord. Pink Ranger, Yellow Ranger, Green Ranger, and Blue Ranger battle Madimot. Blue Ranger strikes Madimot with his Spin Sword. Yellow Ranger is the first to notice the Tiger Zord is back and points it out to the rest of the Rangers. Madimot is furious that they turn kitty against him too. Madimot blasts Pink Ranger, Yellow Ranger, Green Ranger, and Blue Ranger with his shield. This doesn't stop the four Rangers and they charge at him with the four element strike. Madimot hits the ground, declaring that's not fair! You team up on me! Madimot is defeated. Within moments, Madimot is giant size. Red Ranger welcomes Tiger Zord back. Tiger Zord charges towards Madimot. Madimot uses it's shield to fire blasts at Tiger Zord. Despite this, Tiger Zord strikes Madimot hard. Tiger Zord then creates a crevice in the ground. Madimot falls into the crevice. Madimot is outrage - this can't be happening to me! I'm the baddest of the bad! Yellow Ranger suggests to the rest of the Rangers they help Jayden. Pink Ranger, Yellow Ranger, Green Ranger, and Blue Ranger summon their folding zords. When the zords arrive, the four Rangers immediately leap inside them. Turtle Zord, Ape Zord, Bear Zord, and Dragon Zord hurry to help Red Ranger. Samurai Megazord is formed. Samurai Megazord walks over to Tiger Zord. Then Tiger Drill Megazord is formed. Madimot manages to climb out of the crevice. Tiger Drill Megazord and Madimot battle. Madimot uses it's shield to blast Tiger Drill Megazord several times. Red Ranger tells the rest of the Rangers, he thinks they can break the shield with the tiger drill. Red Ranger shouts out, Tiger Drill Charge! With all four drills going at full blast, Tiger Drill Megazord charges towards Madimot. Tiger Drill Megazord hits the shield and it's destroyed, along with Madimot. Madimot protests till the end, I can't be beat, I'm the baddest of the bad! After the battle, the teens return to Shiba House. Mia, Emily, and Mike are sitting around a board game, using their folding zords as pieces. Mia gets very excited when she gets double sixes and hollers with delight. Kevin and Jayden are sitting apart from their friends. After the game ends, Mia calls over to them, telling them they are starting a new game and asking them to join. Kevin and Jayden get up and walk over to their friends. Kevin tells them, alright, but I'm blue as he pulls out his folding zord. He tosses the folding zord onto the game board. Mike tells him, yeah, I think we all agree you are the best one to control that. Kevin asks for the dice and Mike passes them on. Emily points out he needs to take a card first. Mia passes a card to Jayden and they all settle in for a fun game.
Mia and her friends were sitting around a table. The table had a runner with three discs placed on it. Mentor Ji had taken a book from a bookcase and brought it over to the group. Mentor Ji: Now that we've recovered three of the lost discs, we have a new power at our disposal. Jayden: Beetle. Swordfish. Tiger. Together these three discs allow us to form the Samurai Beetle Wing. Mentor Ji opened up the book and displayed the drawing of the Samurai Beetle Wing. Mike: Wow. That looks like one powerful bird. Mentor Ji: Yes, thanks to these discs. So each one has to go to the person we believe is truly ready to help pilot the battle wing. Jayden: I'll keep the Tiger Zord. Mentor Ji: The Swordfish goes to Kevin, who caught it and therefore has a connection with it. Jayden got up and passed the Swordfish disc to Kevin. Kevin was delighted. Mentor Ji: We've decided that the Beetle...Jayden: Should go to Mia. Mia: Me? Mentor Ji: We trust your control and your symbol power the most and we know you will do the difficult work that's needed, to master this disc. Jayden: We're counting on you. Mia: Thank you. I won't let you down. After the meeting, Mia, Kevin, Emily, Jayden, and Mentor Ji were in the kitchen/dining area. Mia was sitting at a table with her plate. Kevin and Emily were preparing their plates. Mike was out in the courtyard practicing with his Spin Sword. Kevin: Wow! What's come over Mike? I'm not use to seeing him train so hard. Kevin went and sat at the table with Mia. Emily carried her plate over to the table as well. Emily: He's actually been working really hard on his symbol power lately. I think he wanted that disc bad. Mia: I know. I kind of feel bad taking it instead of him. Mentor Ji: Don't feel bad. Your hard work is one of the reasons we've chosen you. I told Mike he needs to work just as hard. Emily: But he's been trying. Mentor Ji: Yes, and I believe he has it in him, but until he learns to listen, he isn't ready. Later, there was a Nighlok attack in the city. Pink Ranger and the rest of the Rangers arrived and were surprised to see several citizens sad and dejected. Red Ranger: Hey, what is all this? Green Ranger: Everyone is so gloomy. It's like they've all become Kevin. Blue Ranger: What? Yellow Ranger: Look! Desperaino leaps in front of them. Desperaino: Isn't it wonderful? Such delicious depths of despair from my rain. They're so lucky. They get to experience the purest, the cruelest, the loveliest misery of all, the loss of hope. Yellow Ranger: That's horrible. Desperaino: Yes, isn't it?! Pink Ranger: We got to get rid of this guy fast! Green Ranger: Oh, we will! Desperaino: Ewww, what an ugly, little sunny outlook you have. Especially when the forecast calls for rain, my rain of pain. Red Ranger: Not going to happen, Nighlok. Let's go! Pink Ranger and the rest of the Rangers pull out their Spin Swords and charge towards Desperaino. Desperaino: Enough talking about the weather. Instead of rain, I'll just cut straight to the pain. Desperaino uses his weapon and blasts Pink Ranger and the rest of the Rangers. Pink Ranger and the rest of the Rangers are hit and land on the pavement hard. Desperaino: So, did that feel so delightfully bad? Pink Ranger and the rest of the Rangers get back up. Blue Ranger: Mia, we have to use the new discs. Blue Ranger places the Swordfish disc onto his Hydro Bow. Pink Ranger pulls out the Beetle disc and holds it in her hand. Pink Ranger: Right! Desperaino: No! Wrong as rain! Desperaino uses his weapon again and it hits the Beetle disc. The Beetle disc goes flying through the air. Green Ranger leaps up and catches it. Pink Ranger runs over to Green Ranger. Pink Ranger: Wow, good catch. Pink Ranger holds out her hand for the disc, but Green Ranger keeps it and places it on his Forest Spear. Pink Ranger: What are you doing? Blue Ranger runs up to the two. Blue Ranger: Mike, stop! You're not ready! Desperaino: This is no fun. I'll come back to fight when you're not fighting yourselves. Desperaino uses the propeller on the top of his head and flies up into the sky. Red Ranger: Guys, stop it! Get him now! Green Ranger and Blue Ranger race forward. Blue Ranger: Mike, come on! Blue Ranger fires his Hydro Bow several times, but Green Ranger cannot make his Forest Spear work. Green Ranger: Why isn't it working? Desperaino: It must make you sad to be so lame. Desperaino flies away. Blue Ranger is very frustrated. Blue Ranger: Mike, what were you thinking?! Green Ranger: I just wanted to...to help. Mia and her friends return to Shiba House. Mia and Emily sit together. Mike is sitting way in front. Kevin and Jayden are standing. Mentor Ji is furious. Mentor Ji circles around Mike as he talks to him. Mentor Ji: Mike, I am so disappointed. Putting yourself before the needs of the team, places all of you in serious danger. Here I thought you were finally listening to me and training hard to strengthen the team. I can't believe it's come to this, but you've become a risk to the others. I'll have to ask you to turn over your Samuraizer. Mike: What?! You're benching me! Mentor Ji: It pains me to say it, but I don't think you're truly ready to become a samurai. Mike stands up in anger. Mike: I'm tired of your lectures! You don't know a thing about me and if I'm not ready, how can I do this? Mike creates a symbol power. It makes the plant behind Mentor Ji grow a long and strong leaf that reaches out and pulls on Mentor Ji's stick. Mentor Ji struggles to hold onto the stick. Mentor Ji: Stop this. Mia, Jayden, Kevin, and Emily step forward. Mia: Mike stop! Jayden walks right up to Mike and stares at him intensely. Jayden: Okay, that's enough. The planter behind Mentor Ji shatters onto the floor. Mike: None of you understand. I'm out of here. Mike walks out, leaving his Samuraizer behind. Afterwards, Mia, Kevin, and Emily are sitting outside. Kevin just doesn't get why Mike was acting so childish. Mia thinks they both were being childish. Kevin doesn't think Mentor Ji was being childish. He's got every reason to be frustrated. Emily tells them, Mike made a mistake, but it really hurt him to be left out. Kevin realizes that, but they had to choose the best person for the job. Mia thinks Mike has more than enough symbol power to handle the Beetle disc. Emily wonders why Mentor Ji picked Mia over Mike. Mia replies, they just made a choice. Doesn't mean it's the right one. Later, Desperaino is back in the city. Pink Ranger, Red Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Blue Ranger have been battling him. Blue Ranger fires his Hydro Bow at Desperaino. Desperaino jumps up into the sky to avoid being hit. Pink Ranger, Red Ranger, and Yellow Ranger have their Spin Swords drawn. Desperaino taunts the four Rangers that they can't even come close to defeating him while he is flying. Desperaino blasts the four Rangers with his weapon. Pink Ranger, Yellow Ranger, Blue Ranger, and Red Ranger are hit and land on the pavement hard. Red Ranger states he can't move. Pink Ranger, Blue Ranger, and Yellow Ranger struggle to get up, but they can't. Desperaino calls them fools. Desperaino is about to fire his weapon again when Mike comes running up. Mike quickly morphs. Yellow Ranger calls out encouragement to him. Green Ranger remembers what Mentor Ji told him in the forest. Green Ranger considers what the forest means to him. The forest is ancient, strong, and wild. And at it's core, it's about renewal and freedom. Green Ranger is confident he can free the full power of the forest in him. Green Ranger transforms his Spin Sword into his Forest Spear. Green Ranger runs towards Desperaino. Desperaino uses his weapon to fire several times at Green Ranger, but Green Ranger is never hit. Green Ranger uses his Forest Spear to launch up into the sky. Desperaino is taken aback. Once in the sky, Green Ranger transforms the Forest Spear back into his Spin Sword and fires it at Desperaino with a tree symbol strike. Desperaino is knocked out of the sky and crashes back down on the pavement. Green Ranger lands gently back onto the pavement. Pink Ranger is the first to notice Desperaino is back and in mega monster mode. Red Ranger warns the rest of the Rangers to not celebrate yet. Desperaino tells them this is the calm before the real storm. The Rangers summon their folding zords and leap inside them. The Samurai Megazord is quickly formed. Desperaino tells them he would be impressed, if that would do you any good. But even now, you're no match for me. Desperaino floats back up into the sky. Green Ranger can't believe it will be another aerial attack. Desperaino fires his weapon at Samurai Megazord. The Samurai Megazord is hit a couple of times. Red Ranger states, we just can't let him take shots from above us. Red Ranger thinks it's risky, but it's time to try the Battlewing combination. Blue Ranger is ready and pulls out the Swordfish disc. Red Ranger snaps down the Tiger disc. Pink Ranger pulls out the Beetle disc and tells Green Ranger to take it. Green Ranger is surprised. Pink Ranger tells him, from what I've seen of your symbol power, you'll use it better than me. Green Ranger tells Pink Ranger she is a true friend as he takes the Beetle disc. Tiger Zord, Swordfish Zord, and Beetle Zord are summon. The three zords race towards Desperaino. Red Ranger enters Tiger Zord, Blue Ranger enters Swordfish Zord, and Green Ranger enters Beetle Zord. Red Ranger gives the command for the three zords to combine. Samurai Battlewing is formed. Desperaino is surprised to see they have turned into a bird. He tells them, you would be wise to fly away, bird brains. Desperaino fires his weapon at Samurai Battlewing. Despite himself, Desperaino is impressed with how quickly Samurai Battlewing avoids his blasts. Samurai Battlewing and Desperaino fly towards each other and Samurai Battlewing lands a blow on Desperaino. Desperaino goes after Samurai Battlewing, firing his weapon and missing. Desperaino accidentally bumps into a building. Red Ranger gives the command for the vortex spin! Red Ranger has Pink Ranger and Yellow Ranger fire at Desperaino with their zords. Desperaino is hit. Samurai Battlewing then uses the vortex spin to strike Desperaino. Desperaino's propeller on top of his head is knocked off. Samurai Battlewing uses charging flash for another strike. As Desperaino falls towards the ground, he is hit and destroyed. After the battle, they all return back to the base. Mentor Ji enters Shiba House, with Emily and Jayden. Mentor Ji pauses for a moment and asks, what's this? He glances around, but no one says anything. Mentor Ji walks towards Mia, Mike, and Kevin. Mike has something hidden behind his back. Mike tells Mentor Ji, it's a little something to say thanks and to let you know I'll be listening. Mike presents the plant he had hidden. Mentor Ji tells Mike, as will I, as he takes the plant with a smile. Mike pulls out his Samuraizer and creates a power symbol and hits it towards the plant. One of the leaves begins to stretch. Mia becomes alarmed and asks Mike what he is doing? Mentor Ji is not alarmed and watches the plant in amazement as several more leaves begins to grow and stretch. Kevin becomes exasperated, not again! Mike doesn't understand what all the concern is about. Mike makes a fist and the plant does the same. Mentor Ji pounds fists with the plant. Mentor Ji laughs and everyone else grins.
