Mike was sitting next to Kevin as he ate breakfast.  Emily was standing as she ate hers.  Jayden sat a little apart from them as he ate his breakfast.  Mike became distracted as he watched carefully and precisely make himself a bowl of cereal.  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 platter.  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.  Mike and the rest head into the city.  They end up in a parking garage.  Mike:  Where's the Nighlok?  Mike 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!  Mike, Emily, Jayden, Mia:  Go Go Samurai!  Mike and the rest morph.  Green Ranger, Yellow Ranger, Red Ranger, and Pink Ranger have their Spin Swords drawn.  Red Ranger:  Let's get him!  Green 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 tells him one whiff of his breath will leave him feeling in the dumps.  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.  He gets up but it's too much.  Mike demorphs and falls to the pavement.  Yamiror will eventually defeat the rest of the Rangers.  Mike, Mia, Jayden, and Emily manage to get back to the 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.  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 Mike, Mia, Jayden, and Emily.  Yamiror is upset - not purifying rain!  There goes my stink power!  Mia notes it worked.  That swordfish healed us.  Mike, Mia, 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, Mike, Kevin, Emily, Mia, and Jayden walk along the beach.  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.

Mike was sitting in the front pew of the church.  Emily was sitting next to him, and Kevin was sitting behind.  Across the aisle, sat Mentor Ji.  Standing in front of the priest was Mia and Jayden.  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.  Mentor Ji used a handkerchief to dap at his eyes.  Mike noticed this and with a grin turned around to talk to Kevin.  Mike:  Dude, check out Mentor's water works.  The grin faded from Mike as he saw that Kevin was crying as well.  Kevin:  It's just allergies.  Kevin glanced at his boutonnière.  Kevin:  The flowers.  Mike started to turn back around.  Emily:  Wow.  Mia looks so beautiful.  Mike:  Someone get me out of here.  Priest:  You promise one another to aspire to these ideals throughout the rest of your lives together.  Love is patient.  Love is kind.  Mike starts to slouch down in his pew.  Mike:  I think I'm going to be sick.  Priest:  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 is talking on his phone.  Mentor Ji:  They took the bride!  Mia and Jayden turn around.  Mentor Ji:  Okay.  Mentor Ji hangs up.  Mike, Kevin, and Emily gather with the rest.  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.  Mike and the rest returned to their Shiba House.  They sat around a table, with several maps on the table.  Mentor Ji:  That makes it five brides kidnapped.  Mike:  Hey, look.  Mike drew a pattern on the map.  Mike notices the pattern is in the shape of a star.  Kevin is impressed and asks Mike if he has studied maps and crime patterns before?  Mike admits he has - he's watched a lot of cop shows.  That was not the answer Kevin was expecting.  Jayden adds too much has been left up to chance.  Jayden wants to make sure they lure them in, before anymore brides are taken.  Mia can't even imagine what those poor girls are going through.  I mean, this is suppose to be the happiest day of their lives.  Emily wonders if they had taken the brides to the Sanzu River?  Mentor Ji replies no.  The living can't survive there for long.  The Moogers must have used the gap to take them somewhere else.  Mia feels bad.  If their sting operation had worked, she could have helped those poor brides.  Jayden reassures her, they will try again.  Kevin wonders how they can get them to come to our wedding?  Mentor Ji holds up several sheets of paper clipped together.  Here is a list of weddings scheduled in our area.  Mike, Emily, Mia, and Kevin take a closer look at the list.  Emily notes there are so many weddings.  That's the problem.  Jayden had been deep in thought.  Jayden tells them he has an idea.  That evening, Mentor Ji returns with the list.  Mia and Kevin look over the list.  Mia can't believe all of these weddings, except one, was cancelled.  Mentor Ji informs them that Jayden warned them all about the bride kidnappings.  Jayden adds with only one wedding left, we know exactly which one the Nighlok will hit.  Mia is looking forward to being a blushing bride bait again.  Mike takes the list from Mia and tells her, something tells me you're happy to wear that dress again.  Emily points out that every girl wants to wear a wedding dress.  Maybe Mia more than others.  Mike shudders.  Mia confesses that she is a sucker for Cinderella.  Jayden looks at Mia, like she's lost it.  Mia catches the look and quickly gets serious.  Okay, once we get a fix on the locations of the brides, I'll send back the coordinates.  Jayden adds we'll be ready to save them.  They head off to the wedding.  Mike and Kevin find the groom.  They grab his arm and pull him into the room where the bride had been getting ready.  Mike tells the groom to trust him, hide with the bride.  Kevin tells them they don't have much time to explain, but it's for your own safety.  The bride and groom are lead to a small room.  The bride asks what's going on?  Emily tells them not to worry, it's just for a little while.  Mike cautions the bride and groom to stay quiet.  He closes the door on them.  The wedding ceremony begins, with Jayden and Mia acting as the bride and groom.  The plan works and Moogers burst into the ceremony and take Mia.  After awhile, Mike, Kevin, and Jayden located the place where the brides been taken.  Dayu is there and she has just command the Moogers to destroy Mia.  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.  Mike, Jayden, 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 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.  Mike, Jayden, and Kevin used their symbol power to create doubles.  Mike even told his to have a blast.  The doubles took off.  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.  Mike, Emily, Jayden, Kevin, and Mia 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.  After awhile, Blue Ranger, Pink Ranger, and Red Ranger battle in a different area.  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.  Blue Ranger uses his dragon splash and Pink Ranger her air wave.  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.  Fires Smasher is quickly transform 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?  Dayu is surprised - Deker, you came to save me?  Deker replies, not quite.  Deker speaks to Red Ranger once more.  Red Ranger, we will dual soon.  Until then.  Deker grabs a hold of Dayu and leaped up onto a cliff.  Blue Ranger can't believe they are running away.  Yellow Ranger calls them cowards.  Deker summons giant Moogers to attack them.  The giant Moogers seep out of the gap.  Deker 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, Mike and his friends go into the city.  Mike, Emily, and Kevin are walking together.  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.  Mike and Kevin stop in front of the bakery shop.  They are soon joined by Mia.  Emily has gone to talk to Jayden.  When Jayden glances over, Mike, Kevin, and Mia wave.  Emily convinces Jayden to come celebrate with cupcakes.  When Mike, Kevin, and Mia see Jayden and Emily heading over, they walk into the bakery shop.
