Out in the courtyard of Shiba House, Red Ranger and Blue Ranger are sparring with their Spin Swords.  Mike, Mentor Ji, Mia, and Emily 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 Green Ranger and the rest of the Rangers race out of Shiba house. The Samurai Power Rangers are racing through the woods.  They soon encounter Madimot.  Red Ranger tells Madimot, we're going to whip you into shape.  Madimot swings his whip around and asks them if they really want to tangle with him?  I'm Madimot, the baddest of the bad from the Sanzu River.  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 Green Ranger and Pink 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.  Green Ranger and Pink Ranger race over to Yellow Ranger's side.  Yellow Ranger confesses she can't fight Kevin.  Blue Ranger launches his Dragon Splash on Green Ranger, Pink Ranger, and Yellow 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. Mike, Jayden, Mia, and Emily 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.  Mike, Mia, and Emily 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.  Mike, Emily, Mia, 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 Mike, Emily, and Mia 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 at 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 Emily and Mia.  Soon Mike, Mia, and Emily 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.  Mike and Mia 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 Mike and Mia, 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.  Mike, Mia, and Emily 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.  Mike, Mia, and Emily 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.  Mike, Emily, and Mia 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 Mike, Mia, and Emily.  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!  Mike, Mia, and Emily 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 Mike, Mia, Emily, 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.  Mike, Mia, and Emily race over to Kevin.  The stranger walks 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.  Mike, Mia, and Emily 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 about up to it, I think it's time we battle someone who isn't on our team.  Red Ranger replies, you're on.  Mike, Emily, Kevin, and Mia pull out their Samuraizers and morph.  Madimot gives the command for Tiger Zord to crush them!  Tiger Zord bursts through the ground.  Green Ranger, Yellow Ranger, Blue Ranger, and Pink 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.  Green Ranger, Blue Ranger, Pink Ranger, and Yellow 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 Green Ranger, Pink Ranger, Yellow 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.  Green Ranger, Blue Ranger, Pink Ranger, and Yellow Ranger summon their folding zords.  When the zords arrive, the four Rangers immediately leap inside them.  Bear Zord, Dragon Zord, Turtle Zord, and Ape 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.  Mike, Mia, and Emily 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.

Mike and his 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.  Mike has been prepared to received the Beetle disc and was surprised and hurt as Jayden passed the Beetle disc 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.  Mike was so angry, he clenched his hands into fists.  Later, Mike was out in the courtyard practicing with the Spin Sword.  He was training very hard.  After awhile, Mike fell to his knees and then fell onto his back, dropped the Spin Sword, and stared out into the sky.  He remembers Red Ranger with his Fire Smasher and Blue Ranger with his Hydro Bow in battle.  Mike:  I can't believe they didn't pick me.
