Side-Fic 292: Red Rage Pt. 1

Rated TV-14 (DLSV)

Tor: While you watch today's show, make sure your room is brightly lit, and don't get too close to the monitor. Got it?



Narrator: In New York City's fight against crime, the dedicated detectives who pursue the most vicious criminals are members of an elite unit known as ACME Crime Net.

[132 Madison Street, Monday, July 22nd, 11:57pm]

[The female Exceeds are decorating the warehouse for a birthday party; Tomoe and Miyabi hang up a banner that says: "Happy Birthday, Tor", in English and in Japanese characters; Julie and Lilith place the wrapped gifts on one table; Sarah prepares the refreshments; Tsukimi places 19 candles on a large chocolate cake (with "Happy Birthday, Tor" written on it in English and Japanese characters); she tries to poke a finger into the cake, when Sarah slaps her hand away]

Tsukimi: OW!

Sarah: Nice try.

Tsukimi: But it looks so good.

Sarah: You know the rules, Miss Tsukimi. Master Tor gets the first slice.

Tsukimi: [pouts] Fine.

Miyabi: Miss Tsukimi, I kinda feel bad for Tor. I mean, you didn't have to send him up to the roof to train after all that hard work he's been through lately.

Tsukimi: If we kept him down here, he'd spoil the surprise. Besides, I couldn't think of anything else for him to do this late at night. And the plan is to start the party at exactly midnight. We can't take any chances that Tor might run late for his own birthday party.

[Greg enters with bunches of balloons]

Greg: Okay, guys. Here's the last of the balloons. [hands the balloons to Tomoe]

Tomoe: Thank you, Captain.

Greg: My pleasure, Tomoe. Hey, I'd love to stay for the party, but it's getting pretty late and I gotta go home and get some sleep. The Chief would be totes upset if I came into work after 8:00, and I can't risk it. Good night, Exceeds. And tell Tor Happy birthday for me.

[He exits the warehouse; Tomoe shuts the door]

Tomoe: [sets up the balloons] Okay, guys. Time to bring Tor down.

Tsukimi: Leave it to me!

[She hops up the stairs; Tomoe shuts the lights off]

[On the roof, Tor is practicing martial arts moves just as Tsukimi walks up to him]

Tsukimi: Okay, Tor. You can come back down now.

Tor: [sighs] Finally. It's so close to midnight.

Tsukimi: [as Tor follows her back downstairs] I know training this late can be a drag and hectic. But even though you're a high-level Exceed, the Demonoids will only send greater enemies after us.

Tor: I know, but too much training per day?

Tsukimi: [pats Tor on the back] Trust me. It'll be worth it.

[As they approach the center of the warehouse, Tor looks around]

Tor: They couldn't wait until after I came back?

Tsukimi: Here. Let me.

[She turns on lights; the other girls set off party poppers]

All girls: Happy birthday, Tor!

Tor: [surprised] Whoa! Girls, you really got me!

[The female Exceeds run up to him and give him hugs and kisses]

Tor: Hold on a sec. My birthday's not 'til tomorrow.

Julie: Nej, Tor. It's midnight.

Lilith: That means your birthday is today.

Tomoe: It only makes sense to start the festivities now.

Miyabi: So, what do you think?

Tor: It's beautiful.

Tsukimi: That's why I sent you upstairs to train in the first place. We had to surprise you with this party.

Tor: I really appreciate it, Miss Tsukimi. Thank you. All of you.

[Everyone gathers for a group hug]

Tsukimi: Okay, everyone! Cake time!

[Everyone gathers around the cake table; Sarah lights all 19 candles]

Tor: This cake's pretty big. And it looks good, too.

Lilith: Ready, ladies? 1, 2, 3!

All females: [sing] Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday, dear Tor.
Happy birthday to you!

Julie: Okay, Tor. Make a wish.

Tor: You girls already gave me my wish. For my first birthday with my new family to be a very happy one. Thanks, everybody. I love you all.

[The others smile]

Tsukimi: [blushes] Even me?

Tor: Yes, even you, Miss Tsukimi. Best teacher and drill sergeant I've ever had.

Tsukimi: [teary-eyed] Oh, thank you, Tor! I've never been more touched in my life!

Lilith: We all love you, too, Tor.

Tor: But I can always make another wish, just in case.

[He thinks for a moment, then blows out all 19 candles; Tsukimi removes the candles one at a time]

Sarah: [cuts the cake and hands Tor the first slice] Here you are, Master Tor.

Tor: Thank you, Sarah.

[Meanwhile, at the apartment next door, Harry and Morimoto have heard it all from Morimoto's bugging gear]

Morimoto: That troublesome womanizer. Good thing I've got a gift ready for him. Come, Uncle Harry. It's time to crash the party.

Harry: All righty.

[They exit the balcony]

[Back at the party, the gang is only half done with the cake and other refreshments]

Tor: Damn, I'm stuffed.

Julie: Me, too. And we only ate half the cake.

Tomoe: We should save a few slices for Alvin when he comes back. Well, Tor, ready to open your gifts?

[The alarm blares]

Tor: After we find out who set off the alarm.

Lilith: It's half an hour after midnight. Why would the Demonoids want to attack us this late?

[They head out the door, where Captain Omen, Eva, Morimoto, and Harry await with an army of Cyber Demonitron]

Morimoto: Happy birthday, Kokonoe! We meet again!

Tor: Morimoto!

Julie: Captain Omen!

Tsukimi and Lilith: Eva!

Tomoe and Miyabi: Harry!

Harry: You all got lucky the last time around.

Eva: But this time, we've got a bigger army.

[Omen plays a tune on his bugle; four familiar monsters enter the scene]

Tor: Aw, man! More revived enemies of the Power Rangers?!


Singe: I am Singe.


Serrator: Serrator.


Sculpin: Sculpin.


Treacheron: Treacheron.

Omen: All right, troops! Let's put these fools out of our misery!

Eva: Blaze on!

[Her cutlass Blaze appears]

Tor, Julie, Tomoe, Miyabi, and Lilith: [activate their Blaze Phones] Blaze Morph!

[They get suited up]

Crystal Exceeds and Tsukimi: Blaze on!

[Their Blaze weapons appear]

Sarah: [whips out a sword] May I, milady?

Lilith: As you wish.

Tor: I'll teach you freaks to crash my birthday party! Charge!

[Both teams charge at each other and fight:
Tor fights Morimoto
Julie fights Omen
Tomoe fights Singe
Miyabi fights Sculpin
Lilith fights Serrator
Sarah fights Treacheron
Tsukimi fights Eva]

[After a few minutes of fighting, the Exceeds and Sarah pull back]

Eva: You fight well, Exceeds. But now this must end.

Tor: Crystal Exceeds, let's rev it up!

Tor, Julie, Tomoe, Miyabi, and Lilith: [touch the RPM button on the Ranger app of their phones] Power Ranger Mode: RPM! RPM, get in gear!

[They morph into the Power Rangers RPM]

Tor: Ranger Operator Series Red!

Tomoe: Ranger Operator Series Blue!

Miyabi: Ranger Operator Series Yellow!

Lilith: Ranger Operator Series Green!

Julie: Ranger Operator Series Black!

[All five do a spinning kick]

All five: Power Rangers RPM!


Tor: Nitro Blasters, ready!

[All five whip out their Nitro Blasters and insert their Engine Cells]

All five: FIRE!

[They fire their Nitro Blasters at the villains, hitting them]

Tor: [charges at Eva w/his Street Saber] Street Saber Strike!

[He strikes Eva w/his saber]

Tomoe: [fires a blast from her Turbo Cannon at Morimoto] Turbo Cannon, fire!

[Morimoto takes the blast]

Miyabi: [launches her Zip Charger at Singe] Zip Charger, activate!

[Singe gets struck]

Lilith: [strikes Serrator w/her Turbo Axe] Turbo Axe!

Julie: [fires blasts from her Rocket Blaster at Omen] Rocket Blaster!

[Omen gets struck by the blast]

Tor, Tomoe, and Miyabi: [combine their weapons] Road Blaster! [fire a blast from the Road Blaster at Sculpin] FIRE!

[Sculpin takes the blast]

Lilith and Julie: [combine their weapons] Turbo Plasma Launcher!

Lilith: [inserts an Engine Cell] Engine Cell, activate!

Julie: Ready, set,...

Lilith and Julie: [fire a blast at Omen] FIRE!

[Omen takes the blast]

Tor: Time to take you all out at once!

All five Ranger-Exceeds: [combine their weapons] RPM Enforcer!

Tor: [inserts an Engine Cell] Engine Cell, activate!

All five: FIRE!!

[The RPM Enforcer fires a massive blast at the seven villains, hitting them hard; the Ranger-Exceeds revert to the Crystal Exceeds]

Tor: You give up?

Eva: [as she and her team get back on their feet] Not gonna happen! [charges at the Exceeds] I'll take you out first!

Exceeds: [touch the Ninja Steel button] Ninja Spin!

[They morph into the Power Rangers Ninja Steel and push Eva back w/their Ninja Star Blades]

Tor: Power of the Ninja! Ninja Steel Red!

Tomoe: Stealth of the Ninja! Ninja Steel Blue!

Miyabi: Strength of the Ninja! Ninja Steel Yellow!

Lilith: Spirit of the Ninja! Ninja Steel White!

Julie: Speed of the Ninja! Ninja Steel Pink!

Tor: Ninja Rangers, fear no danger!

All five: Power Rangers Ninja Steel!


Eva: [charges at the Ranger-Exceeds] I must have this power you possess!

[She and the Ranger-Exceeds fight w/their swords]

Julie: Hey, Omen, don't think I've forgotten you! Ninja Blast!

[She fires a blast from her Ninja Blaster, but Omen repels the blast w/his sword and charges at Julie]

Omen: Our battle won't end until I've gotten revenge for my master!

Julie: Provided you don't die first! Ninja Battle Morpher, Claw Mode!

[A Ninja Battle Morpher appears in Claw Mode; Julie strikes Omen with it]

Tomoe: [inserts an Element Star into her blade] Hey, Morimoto! Eat this! [spins the star] Element Star! Ninja metal attack!

[The star unleashes metal chains that bind Morimoto]

Tomoe: Tor, let's give them a taste of teamwork!

Tor: You bet!

[All five insert the Ninja Power Stars into their blades; their blades glow]

Ranger-Exceeds: Five Ranger Ninja Slash! Ninja Spin!

[They spin their stars and charge at Eva, Omen, and Morimoto; Tomoe and Miyabi strike Morimoto; Lilith and Julie strike Omen; Tor strikes Eva; all five Ranger-Exceeds jump up]

Ranger-Exceeds: Final attack!

[They spin around and strike the three villains simultaneously w/their blades once they reach ground; the Ranger-Exceeds revert to the Crystal Exceeds]

Tor: Now for Singe and his pals.

Singe: Go ahead and throw whatever you've got at us.

Tor: Crystal Cannon!

[The Crystal Cannon appears]

Exceeds: FIRE!

[The cannon fires a blast at Singe, Serrator, Sculpin, and Treacheron, but Treacheron, Sculpin, and Singe repel the blast w/their weapons]

Treacheron: Rookies!

Singe: Child's play!

Sculpin: You're up, Serrator!

Serrator: My pleasure, boys.

[He unleashes bolts of lightning upon the Exceeds]

Serrator: The Samurai Rangers got lucky when they beat me. But you five are just a bunch of amateurs.

Tor: Girls, Blaze Busters, up!

[He and the other Exceeds whip out their Blaze Busters and insert their phones; they each touch the In Space button]

Tor: In Space formation!

All five: FIRE!

[Their Blaze Busters fire a blast in the shape of the Astro Megashuttle at Serrator, who catches the blast and fires it right back, hitting the Exceeds]

Serrator: There's a major difference between the power of an Exceed and the power of a Nighlok!

Tor: Girls, we gotta try the cannon again! This time, let's combine our Blazes!

[The Crystal Exceeds combine their Blazes with the Crystal Cannon to from the Crystal Blaze Cannon]

Exceeds: Crystal Blaze Cannon, ready!

Serrator: Clever, but not clever enough.

Exceeds: FIRE!

[The Crystal Blaze Cannon fires a blast of multicolored light at Serrator, who reflects the blast right back at the Exceeds, hitting them]

Serrator: A fruitless struggle. You're doomed!

Tor: [charges at Serrator as his right fist glows] That's what you think! Crystal Mjolnir!

[He is about to punch Serrator, when Morimoto jumps in and stabs Tor in the gut w/his sword, cancelling out Crystal Mjolnir; the other Exceeds and Sarah gasp in horror; after Morimoto pulls his sword back, Tor crumples to the ground, bleeding, and reverts to normal]

Female Exceeds: TOR!

Morimoto: [laughs] That's the end of Tor Kokonoe. And you girls are now mine.

[The remaining Crystal Exceeds (all in tears behind their visors) grip their Blazes and charge at the villains in extreme rage]

Tomoe: [swings and tosses the dagger point of her kusarigama at the villains] Tachibana-style Crystal Snake!

Miyabi: [spins her lance like a drill] Crystal Drill Spin!

Lilith: [jumps up and fires multiple bullets at the villains] Crystal Sky Blast!

Julie: [jumps up and swings her swords in a circular formation] Full Moon Blaze Swing!

[Eva, Omen, and Morimoto stop the attacks w/their swords and push them back]

Miyabi: Bastards! I'll never forgive you for what you did to Tor! [charges at the villains with all her might] YOU MONSTERS!!

Tomoe: Miyabi, no!

Eva: Pitiful bitch.

[She strikes Miyabi w/her sword, knocking her to the ground; Miyabi reverts to normal; her lance vanishes]

Eva: That'll teach you, Exceed Topaz.

Miyabi: [turns to Tor] I'm so sorry, Tor. I tried.

Lilith: [fires a barrage of bullets from her rifle at the villains] You bloody arseholes!

Morimoto: Necro Shield!

[His Necro Changer erects an invisible shield in front of the villains, reflecting each bullet right back at Lilith, hitting her; Lilith screams, falls to the ground, and reverts to normal; her rifle vanishes]

Morimoto: Exceed Emerald makes two.

Tomoe: [swings the sickle of her kusarigama at the villains] Even your forcefield can't stop this!

[The sickle slithers right behind the villains; Sculpin notices and grabs it, then jumps up, spins around, and strangles Tomoe w/the chain of her own Blaze]

Sculpin: Sorry to get you all choked up, Exceed Cobalt!

Tomoe: [tries to reach for her Blaze Buster] I don't care what you do to me! I'll get revenge for Tor if it's the last thing I do!

Sculpin: Too bad you won't get the chance.

[He lifts Tomoe up w/the chain, then slams her to the ground repeatedly, until she reverts to normal and her kusarigama vanishes]

Sculpin: Aw, too bad. Just when it was getting fun. Oh, well.

Julie: Tor. Everyone. [charges at the villains w/her glowing swords] This is for you!

[She jumps over the forcefield, then spins down toward the villains, pointing her swords at them as if she were a drill]

Omen: [points his pistol at Julie] I'll take her out, guys.

Serrator: Hold on!

[He extends his claws and entangles Julie]

Serrator: Now!

Omen: Exceed Amethyst, this is the end.

[He fires a blast from his pistol at Julie, hitting her in the right shoulder; Julie still struggles to free herself]

Serrator: Some firearm you have there, Omen. Look at her!

Omen: The lucky bitch.

Serrator: I didn't think I'd have to resort to this.

[He slams Julie on the ground repeatedly]

Morimoto: That's enough, Serrator! Remember, the objective is to kill only Kokonoe. The others-- I need them.

Serrator: For what purpose?

[Morimoto whispers into his ear]

Serrator: Ah. Very well.

[He releases the weakened Julie, whose swords vanish as she reverts to normal]

Eva: [swipes each of the Exceeds' Blaze Phones] This task is too easy. [hands them to Omen, who stashes them in his jacket] Now, with a little programming, I can harness the power of the Morphing Grid myself.

Tsukimi: HEY! [charges at Eva w/her whipblade] Those don't belong to you!

[Eva repeatedly strikes Tsukimi w/her cutlass until Tsukimi hits the ground out cold]

Sarah: [charges at the villains w/her sword] Lady Lilith's defeat will not be for naught!

[She strikes each one w/her sword]

Treacheron: You fight well, for a non-Exceed.

Sarah: I'm merely a humble stewardess.

Treacheron: Unfortunately, you're just as weak as the others!

[He strikes Sarah w/his sword; Sarah tries to intercept w/her own, but the blade is cut in half; Sarah hits the ground out cold]

Morimoto: [unleashes chains from his Necro Changer, binding each girl by the right wrist] I'm sorry you won't be around to see your loved ones off, Kokonoe. [transports out with the four girls] Bye-bye!

[Tor barely comes to and slowly moves his right arm]

Tor: No. Don't... leave... me.

Eva: [strikes Tor on the right arm hard w/her cutlass] You're too late. The Crystal Exceeds are no more. [laughs] If you've got any last words, then this is your last chance!

[She raises her cutlass]

Tor: Forgive me,... girls. I'm sorry,... Otoha.

[He collapses]

Eva: Funny. I don't recall anyone by that name in your team. Oh, well. Bye-bye.

[But just as she is about to stab Tor through the chest, a familiar blue being and five in red strike her, knocking her cutlass out of her hands]

Singe: What's happened?!

Omen: Lady Eva, who did that?!

Eva: [gasps] No!

[The five beings reveal themselves to the villains:]







Singe, Serrator, Sculpin, and Treacheron: Red Rangers?!

Harry: Ninjor!

Eva: Why must a Power Ranger get in my way?

Singe: Some leader you are, Eva.

Omen: [points his sword at Singe] If I were you, Singe, I'd leave her be, unless you want me to melt your wax.

Singe: Uh, yes, sir. Sorry, sir.

Eva: Let's get back to the Samca.

[She and her army vanish]

Dino Charge Red: So we're just gonna let 'em get away with the Exceeds' Blaze Phones?

Lost Galaxy Red: [whips out the five Blaze Phones] You mean these?

Ninjor: Oh, you sly devil. [pats Lost Galaxy Red on the back] Good work.

[The two Red Samurai Rangers look down at the wounded Tor]

Samurai Red (male): He's badly wounded.

Samurai Red (female): We gotta get him to the E.R.

Mystic Force Red: There are some things even my magic spells can't heal.

[They suddenly get transported out, along with Tor]

[On board the Samca, Eva's team (minus Morimoto) is gathered on the bridge]

Eva: Those Power Rangers and Ninjor may have gotten in the way, but at least we got a well-earned parting gift: The Crystal Exceeds' Blaze Phones. Omen, hand them to me so I can harness their data.

[Omen reaches into his jacket pockets and extracts five old, cracked smartphones]

Omen: Hold on.

[He tries to turn one on, but nothing happens]

Omen: These aren't the Blaze Phones! They're just ordinary smartphones!

Eva: What?! You were supposed to guard them!

Serrator: The Rangers were obviously so fast.

Eva: And you did nothing to stop them.

Treacheron: It doesn't matter. Even though we don't have the Blaze Phones, Kokonoe is still out of commission for the time being. We need to come up with another plan to kill him for good.

[Harry looks around]

Harry: Uh, guys, where's Morimoto?

Eva: Oh, right. He kidnapped the other four Exceeds. Well, wherever he is, leave him be. Remind him that as soon as he's done with those girls, he reports back here.

Harry: Yes, ma'am. In the meantime, I've got new weapons to forge. [exits the bridge] Ta-ta.

[Cut to black]

[Tor awakens and finds himself laid up in bed at the sick bay of the Fraxinus]

Tor: Where am I? [looks at his bandaged left arm] Oh, thank God.

[Kotori enters, sucking on a lollipop]

Kotori: You're in the Fraxinus sick bay, birthday boy.

Tor: Oh, hey, Kotori. Wait, how did I get here if the Fraxinus is thousands of meters above the warehouse?

Kotori: I transported you and those who saved you here for your own safety. And the same goes for Miss Tsukimi and Sarah.

[Tsukimi and Sarah enter, wearing slings around their right arms, and bandages]

Tor: Are you two okay?

Tsukimi: I'm so sorry, Tor. I failed to protect your lovers.

Sarah: The Necro Soldier was merciless. We couldn't stop him. I have failed in my responsibility as a stewardess.

Kotori: None of this is your fault.

Tor: No. It's mine. [groans] Damn it! Some lover I am. I vowed to protect them with my life, and I let them all down.

Ninjor: [enters the room] There was nothing you could do in your condition, young man.

Tor: Huh?

Kotori: [kneels before Ninjor] Welcome, Ninjor. It's an honor to meet the great sage who created the Power Coins.

Ninjor: [pats Kotori on the head] Don't mention it, Kotori.

[He walks up to Tor]

Tor: You're the great Ninjor? The keeper of the Temple of Power?

Ninjor: Who were you expecting? Zordon?

Tor: And you were the one who saved me from Eva and her gang? But how did you know I was in danger?

[Samurai Red (male) enters]

Samurai Red (male): I sent for him. The gap sensor had gone off, telling me a Nighlok was spotted in New York City. I couldn't get in touch with the rest of my regular team. Then I remembered the very sage who trained me in the art of ninja power a few years after Master Xandred was destroyed.

Ninjor: That's why he and the others struck your enemies so fast when we saved your life.

Samurai Red (male): Oh, and these four volunteered to join in for backup.

[The other four Red Rangers enter]

Kotori: Five Red Rangers to the rescue. Isn't it awesome?

[The five Rangers demorph into Tyler Navarro (Dino Charge Red),...]


[Jayden Shiba (Samurai Red (male)),...]


[Lauren Shiba (Samurai Red (female)),...]


[Nick Russell (Mystic Force Red),...]


[...and Leo Corbett (Lost Galaxy Red)]


Tyler: You took the words right out of my mouth.

Tor: You're all Red Rangers.

Leo: That's right. I'm Leo Corbett, Lost Galaxy, Red Ranger.

Nick: I'm Nick Russell, Mystic Force Red.

Jayden: I'm Jayden Shiba, Samurai Red.

Lauren: I'm his big sister Lauren, and I'm also Samurai Red.

Tyler: And I'm Tyler Navarro, Dino Charge Red.

Ninjor: Dino Charge? I've never heard of a Ranger team like that before.

Tyler: That's because I'm from another dimension. But even Rangers from other planets or dimensions are connected to the Morphing Grid.

Tor: What's it like in your dimension?

Tyler: It's a lot like this, except dinosaurs are not extinct.

Tor: Cool.

Tsukimi: We're glad you're here, Rangers.

Leo: I only wish we'd have been there sooner.

[He hands Tor the Blaze Phones]

Tor: Morimoto's gonna pay for this. Him, Eva, Harry, Captain Omen, and their monster friends, too.

Jayden: We'll do whatever it takes to defeat them, and get your teammates back.

Lauren: But why do you look this upset?

Tor: Because all this happened on my birthday.

Tyler: I know the feeling, Tor. I remember when my dad went missing on my eighth birthday. Well, actually, he became a Ranger. But he never came back to me, because Fury was onto him. One mode of contact, and we'd have both been dead.

Tor: At least your dad wasn't kidnapped by a green-eyed monster.

Leo: Tor, the point he's trying to make is that he never gave up trying to find his dad, just like you shouldn't give up trying to save your teammates.

Jayden: Just think how Otoha would feel if you did give in.

Tor: Otoha? Wait. Jayden, you knew my sister?

Jayden: And so do Lauren and our mentor.

Lauren: Your father and our mentor were old friends. We were there during your father's burial.

Tor: Wait, now I remember. You helped give me and Otoha a quick lesson on swordsmanship.

[Flashback to six years prior at the burial site with Tor, his sister Otoha, and his mother mourning with Jayden, Lauren, and Mentor Ji; after the service, Jayden and Lauren train Tor and Otoha in swordsmanship at Tor's dojo]

Jayden: It was only a single day before we had to fly back home, but you two mastered your sword techniques like true samurai.

[Back to the present]

Tor: I'm sorry to tell you this, but she was killed sometime after Dad died.

Lauren: What?

Tor: It was a year and a half before I joined Kouryou Academy.

[He has a flashback of his family's burning dojo; dead bodies are scattered about, and the young man responsible: Sakaki Narukami, looks down on them, sword in hand; he then stares at Tor and is about to strike, when suddenly, Otoha jumps in and takes the brunt, then falls into her brother's arms]

Narukami: Too bad. She was just as weak as you are.

Otoha: Big... brother...

Tor: Otoha,...

[Otoha collapses]

Tor: NO!!! [growls] I swear on my sister's grave, I'll kill you! No matter what it takes!

Narukami: [exits] So long, old friend.

[Cut back to the present]

Lauren: [almost in tears] I know it's been years, Tor.

Jayden: But you have our condolences.

[The other three Red Rangers, Ninjor, and Kotori nod, as do Tsukimi and Sarah]

Tor: Thank you, all of you. That's why I became an Exceed in the first place. I couldn't protect Otoha, all because I felt too weak back then. I had to improve my skills so I could protect those I love, but despite the fact that I finally killed Otoha's killer, even as a high-level Exceed and a Crystal Exceed with access to the Morphing Grid, I... [starts to tear up] I just couldn't protect my teammates. I was weak when my sister died like I was weak when Morimoto almost killed me and kidnapped the girls.

[Tsukimi gently pats him on the head]

Tyler: It's not that you were weak, Tor.

Nick: From what we saw in the video of that fight, Morimoto was just damn lucky.

Leo: He only took you by surprise.

Ninjor: That's what the Necro Soldier is capable of. And because Morimoto now wears the Necro Changer,--

Kotori: He has the same powers as the original. And from what I could gather, maybe more powerful.

Ninjor: It doesn't matter. He may be more powerful than the original in offense, but I doubt he'll be as good in defense. I should know. I was the original's last opponent. Thousands of years ago, the Necro Soldier tried to break into the Temple of Power to steal the Power Coins for himself. But I intercepted and took him out. I could've destroyed his Necro Changer all together, but I figured it was damaged enough to be useless to anyone, so I buried it. But I never anticipated it'd be dug up and repaired by a jerk like Morimoto. Speaking of whom, what's he got against you?

Tor: He may not have been the guy who killed my sister, but he'd had a crush on Tomoe for years. They were old classmates until junior high. He was also a student at her family's dojo. Actually, their worst student. And after Tomoe got enrolled in Kouryou Academy, he started training on his own in another dojo he thought was better than Tomoe's before he moved to the States. But once he found out that I was her lover, he grew to hate me.

Tyler: Well, that's his own fault. He thinks just 'cause you have four girls sleeping with you he can try and force them out of your life? Well, he's dead wrong.

Nick: Tyler, take it easy. We don't know exactly if Tor's been sleeping with his teammates.

Tsukimi: Actually, he has. But don't worry. None of the girls got pregnant.

Tor: You just had to bring that up.

Leo: Anyway, we're gonna find a way to get the girls back, and take down Eva, Morimoto, and the rest of their team once and for all.

Ninjor: And I think I may know a way of helping you.

Kotori: [exits] You guys go ahead. I'll call Captain Lee and have him put out an APB on Morimoto.

[Cut to the Nickar; Westcott receives a transmission from Eva]

Westcott: Excellent work, Eva. I saw the fight.

Eva: Unfortunately, we haven't won yet. Tor Kokonoe is still out there, and now he's got five Red Rangers and the great Ninjor by his side. But don't worry. My team will make sure they suffer next time we meet.

Westcott: You had better. Don't fail me again. [ends transmission] LN, be prepared. Once Kokonoe and the Red Rangers go into battle, gather whatever data you can.

LN: Yes, master.

[Elsewhere, in an old abandoned warehouse, Julie, Tomoe, Miyabi, and Lilith are chained by the wrists to a pipe; Morimoto, in civilian form, comes out of his room]

Tomoe: Let us go, you bastard!

Morimoto: [scoffs] Why don't you try doing it yourself, Tomoe? You do have Blazes, don't you? Oh, wait. I forgot. Uncle Harry put frequency jammers all around this place so that none of you can summon your Blazes from in here. And your Blaze Phones are in Eva's hands now. Plus, the whole place is soundproof, so crying for help won't do any good. What's more, Tor Kokonoe is finished.

[The girls are in tears]

Lilith: B*llocks! Tor wouldn't dare die like that!

Julie: I won't forgive you for what you've done to him, Morimoto!

Miyabi: When we break free, we'll kill you, even without our Blazes!

Morimoto: Funny. [points at a nearby curtain] That's what they said when they tried to escape me.

[He pulls back the curtain to reveal seven other women gagged and bound locked in a cage, all unconscious, bruised, and beaten]

Lilith: [gasps] You monster!

Morimoto: Weeks ago, when I first met Harry, he offered me $50,000 to work for him. And using half that money, just a week ago, I bought these women from a slave owner. But when they tried to escape, I knocked them all out cold and drugged 'em day in and day out to make sure they'd never escape. I should've thought of chaining them up in the first place, like I've done to you just now. None of this would've happened if it weren't for you rebuffing me, Tomoe.

Tomoe: Like Hell! I wasn't ready for a boyfriend back then, and even if I were, you were a total jerk-off then like you are now! There's a lot that Tor has that you'll never have. He has a heart of gold, and he's a very protective man.

Morimoto: Well, I have a lot of what he didn't have. I have immense power, incredible strength, indomitable speed, and insurmountable cunning. That's why he was too easy to kill.

Tomoe: I don't believe your bullsh*t! He's alive. I know it! And he'll come back for us and kill you!

Morimoto: Believe all you want. He died a weakling, just like his sister. You four are mine, and mine alone. [snickers]

[132 Madison Street, 1:14am]

[Ninjor briefs Tor and the Red Rangers]

Ninjor: From what I've seen in your team's recent battles, Tor, your Blaze Borgs and the powers of the Power Rangers might not be enough to stop Eva and her team. Which is why, before I was summoned here, I forged these for you.

[He hands Tor five special crystal-encrusted Power Coins, each with a symbol resembling a different animal: Panther (ruby red), eagle (amethyst violet), scorpion (cobalt blue), bear (topaz yellow), and leopard (emerald green)]

Tor: They're beautiful. I love how they're made from crystal.

Ninjor: Your team inspired me. Anyway, just as I've given the Alien Rangers their Power Coins to summon their Battle Borgs, I give you these Crystal Coins so as to summon your new Blaze Beasts. However, each of these coins will only respond to their appropriate Crystal Exceed. Therefore, only you will be able to summon your Blaze Beast.

Tor: Blaze Beasts?

Leo: They're based on your animal spirits. R.J. told us all about it.

Jayden: That's why I made some adjustments to the Blaze Phones while you were asleep in the Fraxinus sick bay.

Lauren: And with these adjustments, these Blaze Beasts will not only take the form of new machines, but they'll also grant you a new enhancement mode.

Tor: Enhancement mode-- Oh, right. Just like the Power Rangers.

[He has flashbacks of the Power Rangers' enhancement modes:
Mighty Morphin: Metallic Armor and the Dragon Shield
Lost Galaxy: Lights of Orion
Dino Thunder: Super Dino Mode and Triassic Mode
SPD: SWAT Mode
Mystic Force: Legend Mode
Jungle Fury: Jungle Master Mode
Samurai: Super Samurai Mode and Shark Attack Mode
Megaforce: Ultra Mode and Super Mega Mode
Dino Charge: Dino Steel and Armor X]

[Back to the present]

Tor: They're totally cool, if you don't mind my saying so.

Leo: This enhancement mode is called Primal Blaze Mode.

[He shows the new mode on his tablet computer:
Each Crystal Exceed is equipped with enhanced versions of their Blaze weapons, wrist-mounted claws (nearly similar to the Lights of Orion armor), and armor resembling their respective beasts (nearly similar to T-Rex Supercharge Mode)]

Tor: Whoa! The girls are gonna flip over this new mode!

Leo: Not only is the extra armor twice as durable as your normal suits, but so are your Blazes.

Tyler: In addition, once all five work together, they create the finishing blow: Primal Charge.

Nick: But in order to unlock Primal Blaze Mode and the Blaze Beasts, all five of you have to be together.

Tsukimi: Which means we gotta hope that the girls are okay.

Ninjor: The only question is, where are they?

[There's a knock at the door; Tor opens it to Special Victims Detectives Glenn Blake and Michael North]

Blake: Tor Kokonoe?

Tor: Yes.

North: Detective Michael North, Special Victims. This is my partner Glenn Blake.

Blake: Thanks to your Spirit Soldier friend, we actually have Kyoji Morimoto's address. You might not believe this, but he actually lives in an apartment in the building next door to you guys.

Tor: What?!

North: As if that weren't enough, when we raided that house, we found this.

[He holds up a plastic bag containing a wallet and an ID card with Harry's photograph]

Tor: It's Harry! He lives there, too?

North: Yep. At least, for now. But once he finds out the apartment's been raided, he'll surely flee the jurisdiction.

Blake: We also found Morimoto's laptop. Dum-dum left his e-mail account open. He'd been exchanging e-mails with sex traffickers. As if that's not enough, we found photos he swapped with the traffickers. Numerous tortured women. I'd show you the photos, you bein' a fellow detective, but I don't wanna see you lose your cool. I know about what happened to Julie and the others.

[NOTE: Blake accidentally pronounces Julie's name as "Joo-lee"]

Tor: Uh, it's pronounced Julie. She's from Scandinavia.

[NOTE: Tor corrects Blake pronouncing Julie's name as "You-lee-ay"]

Blake: Oh, right. Sorry. Didn't know.

North: Scandinavia. Funny thing, one of the sex traffickers Morimoto'd been e-mailing with-- He lives in Norway. We traced that e-mailer's IP to Oslo and notified Interpol.

Blake: We also traced another e-mailer's IP to England.

Tor: That's Lilith's home. Do you suspect Morimoto was planning on selling Julie and Lilith to sex traffickers from their home countries and keep Tomoe and Miyabi for himself?

Blake: It's possible. Then again, it may just be a coincidence.

[His phone chimes]

Blake: Hold on a sec.

[He picks up his phone; text from Craig Ruben: "Interpol arrested overseas traffickers. Been investigating them all year."]

Blake: Luck be a lady. Interpol didn't waste any time. They caught the traffickers from England and Norway. Been after 'em all year.

Tor: Well, that's one relief. At least, for now.

North: There's more, Tor. In one of Morimoto's e-mails, he'd been sharing an address to one of his trafficking friends here in New York who was about to sell him seven women for $25,000.

[He hands Tor a printed copy of the e-mail]

Tor: 27 John Fitzgerald Kennedy Boulevard, Bayonne, New Jersey. This must be where he's keeping the girls. Thanks, fellas. I'll get my new friends briefed at once.

Blake: No problem, kiddo.

[He and North exit; Tor shuts the door, then runs up to the others]

Tor: We have an address.

Leo: I know we all need sleep, but the girls may not have that kind of time, so we gotta get going.

Tor: Miss Tsukimi, Sarah, you stay here. You're in no shape to continue.

Tsukimi: You're staying, too, Tor. You just got out of traction.

Sarah: It's far too risky to venture out. Morimoto will try and kill you again.

Tyler: Ladies, Tor's in good enough shape to join us Red Rangers. Remember, the only reason the Spirit Soldiers used their healing powers to restore him was because his injuries could've been life-threatening.

Jayden: It didn't work on you two, because all you got were bruises and nasty cuts.

Ninjor: Under normal circumstances, they'll heal before dusk later today. But until that time, you're both staying. Besides, the decision to join us is up to Tor, not you. He understands the risk.

Tor: Yeah, and I say I'm going with Ninjor and the Reds. Besides, the girls are my responsibility.

[Tsukimi bursts into tears, then hands Tor a wrapped gift]

Tsukimi: If you're gonna go, at least open this first.

[Tor, slightly baffled, opens the gift, revealing it to be a box; he opens the box, and inside is a special ruby-encrusted katana]

Tsukimi: My birthday gift to you: A sword that only Exceed Ruby can wield: The Crystal Katana. I commissioned it myself and had your Blaze Phone modified to access it.

Tor: It's amazing. Thank you, Miss Tsukimi.

[Tsukimi embraces him close to her breasts]

Tsukimi: Please, come back safely. You and the girls. [cries] I can't afford to lose anymore students.

Tor: I promise. I won't let you down.

[Tsukimi releases him from the hug, and Tor approaches Ninjor and the Red Rangers]

Tor: Let's do this, guys.

[They head outside; Tor hops onto his Blaze Cycle; Tyler hops onto his Dino Cycle; Jayden, using his symbol power, conjures up a War Horse; he and Lauren hop onto its back; Nick hops onto his Mystic Racer; Leo hops onto his Astro Cycle; Ninjor hops onto his floating cloud; Tor gets suited up, and the Red Rangers morph]

Ninjor: Let's ride!

[He leads the way as they all set off]

[Back at the Nickar, LN checks the surveillance app of her tablet; she is shocked]

LN: [gasps] Master Westcott!

[Westcott enters]

Westcott: What's the trouble?

LN: Exceed Ruby and his Red Ranger friends are making their way to the Necro Soldier's private location. They're trying to rescue the other Exceeds!

Westcott: Send a Demonoid to discourage them.

LN: [touches the Demonoid app on her tablet] Yes, sir. I've got Mormoid.

[A demonic robot enters the bridge]

Mormoid: You called, Lady LN?

LN: [opens a map app on her tablet with the fastest route from the warehouse in Manhattan to the warehouse in Bayonne] We need you to block Kokonoe's path to the Necro Soldier's hideout. Don't screw it up.

Mormoid: Yes, ma'am. But it's gonna take more than one Demonoid to do the job against a Crystal Exceed and five Power Rangers.

LN: Good point. Summon Mechalphas, Marbatron, and Buneborg.

[Mechalphas (a demonic bird-like robot), Marbatron (a demonic lion-like robot), and Buneborg (a demonic triple-headed dragon-like robot)]

Mormoid: Boys, we're to intercept Exceed Ruby's group.

LN: I recommend you intercept at New Jersey Route 440, right in front of McLoone's Bayonne Grille.

Mechalphas: Oh, good. I could use a bite to eat while we wait.

LN: Get real, douche. Place is closed for the night.

Marbatron: We could always break in and fend for ourselves.

Buneborg: That'll only set the alarms and put us at risk of getting caught.

LN: Besides, judging by their vehicle's average speed, they'll be there within 20 minutes. You won't have enough time for a break, anyway. Get there at once!

Mormoid: Yes, milady. Come, my men!

Buneborg, Marbatron, and Mechalphas: Yes, ma'am!

[The four Demonoids transport out]

[New Jersey Route 440, Bayonne, New Jersey, 1:30am]

[The gang passes the Welcome to New Jersey sign and continues on]

Tor: Jayden, Lauren, don't you think it's weird to have to ride a horse on the road around here?

Jayden: As long as you're keeping up with traffic, we don't care.

Lauren: Besides, as Power Rangers, it's okay to ride horses in emergencies.

Leo: You know, Tor, I could've used my Jet Jammer, but that's for space travel only.

Tor: Can't say that I blame you, Leo. [looks up at Nick] As for you, Nick, you're really lucky to travel by flight in that thing.

Nick: Hey, I'm a wizard. What do you expect?

Ninjor: At least I don't have to be a wizard to take flight on a cloud like this.

Tyler: Well, at least we'll get there in style.

[They soon approach McLoone's Bayonne Grille; when the four Demonoids spot them, they zip onto the road and block the gang's path]

Mormoid: HALT!!

[The gang stops]

Mormoid: No one may interfere with the Necro Soldier's plans. I, Mormoid, and my fellow Demonoids shall make sure of that.

Tor: Oh, yeah?! FIRE!

[The Blaze Cycle fires its lasers at the Demonoids, who narrowly dodge; the gang gets off their vehicles]

Leo: So these are Demonoids?

Jayden: Just as Kotori told us. Westcott programmed them to show no mercy to their enemies.

Tyler: We'll teach them not to mess with us.

[He whips out his Dino Saber; Leo whips out his Quasar Saber; Nick whips out his Magi Staff (sword mode); Jayden and Lauren whip out their Spin Swords; Ninjor whips out his sword]

Tor: I'll save my new weapon for Morimoto. Right now, Blaze on!

[His shield Blaze appears]

Mormoid: Cyber Demonitron, come forth!

[An army of Cyber Demonitron appears]

Lauren: Nobody said this would be easy.

Nick: Let's kick some Demonoid derriere!

Ninjor: CHARGE!!

[Everyone charges at the Demonoids and fights them]

Tyler: [strikes five Cyber Demonitron w/his sword] These guys remind me of Sledge's Vivix. Only stronger.

Leo: [strikes the same five w/his saber] Remember what Kotori said-- All Demonoids have the same weakness: Their computer chips.

Tyler: Roger that, Leo! [fires a blast from his Dino Morpher] Dino Morpher Blast!

[The five Cyber Demonitron get struck by the blast and blown to pieces; their computer chips are still intact]

Tor: I'll take care of that for you.

[He fires a blast from his Blaze Buster at the chips, destroying them]

Tyler: Thanks, buddy!

Tor: Don't mention it, Tyler. [notices Buneborg charging at him] Whoa!

[He pushes Buneborg back w/his shield]

Buneborg: I am Buneborg! Fear my flaming breath!

[His three heads fire flaming breaths at Tor]

Leo: I'll fight fire with fire! Fire Power!

[He unleashes his own Fire Power upon Buneborg's fire; both fire attacks try pushing each other]

Buneborg: One Ranger against three heads. Good odds.

Tor: Not if I have anything to say about it!

[He fires dry chemicals from his Blaze Buster at Buneborg's heads, dousing the fire he was spewing and causing Leo's fire attack to strike him]

Nick: [surrounded by phoenix fire] Fire of the Phoenix!

[He strikes Mechalphas w/his flaming Magi Staff sword]

Jayden and Lauren: [as their Spin Swords transform] Fire Smasher!

[They strike 10 Cyber Demonitron and Marbatron w/their Fire Smashers; the 10 Cyber Demonitron are destroyed, along with all their chips]

Marbatron: Don't forget about me!

[He charges at the two Red Rangers like a lion, but Ninjor pushes him back w/his sword]

Ninjor: Forgetting about me?

Marbatron: [growls] You're mine, Ninjor!

[He charges at Ninjor, but Ninjor quickly zips to a spot behind him]

Ninjor: Missed! [laughs]

Marbatron: [charges at Ninjor again] I won't miss again!

[Ninjor vanishes]

Ninjor: Too bad!

Marbatron: Never seen a warrior that fast before.

Ninjor: [flies in from the sky on his cloud] That's the power of ninja for you!

[He dives down from his cloud and strikes Marbatron w/his sword]

Ninjor: Tor, get on your bike! Your women await you!

Tor: But what about you?!

Lauren: We'll keep these guys occupied! Now, go!

Tor: [jumps onto his cycle] I'll come back for you!

[He takes off on his cycle in flight mode]

Mormoid: He's getting away! After him!

[Suddenly, a series of blasts strikes the Demonoid army]

Mormoid: Now what?!

[Shido Itsuka and his harem of Spirits charge into the scene on their Sephira Cycles (the blasts came from the cycles)]

Shido: Haven't you taken us into account?!

Mormoid: The Spirit Soldiers!

Marbatron: What are they doing here?!

[Shido's group gets off their cycles and joins the Rangers and Ninjor]

Shido: Red Rangers, pleasure to meet you all in person. Shido Itsuka.

[He and Tyler shake hands]

Tyler: Glad to meet you, Shido.

Kaguya: The one with the cape looks awful cute, doesn't he?

Yuzuru: Reply. You mean Mystic Force Red? Yes, I'd say so.

Tohka: Enough chatter, girls. Time to kick some ass!

Shido: Spirit Soldiers, suit up!

[He and the girls activate their Spirit Braces]

All 12: Sephira, GO!

[They all get suited up]

Shido: Ace trooper of courage! Spirit Soldier Gold!

Origami: Crown trooper of light! Spirit Soldier White!

Nia: Wisdom trooper of revelation! Spirit Soldier Gray!

Kurumi: Understanding trooper of shadows! Spirit Soldier Black!

Yoshino: Kindness trooper of ice! Spirit Soldier Blue!

Kotori: Severity trooper of fire! Spirit Soldier Red!

Mukuro: Beauty trooper of authority! Spirit Soldier Yellow!

Natsumi: Victory trooper of forgery! Spirit Soldier Green!

Kaguya and Yuzuru: Splendor troopers of wind! Spirit Soldier Orange!

Miku: Foundation trooper of sound! Spirit Soldier Fuchsia!

Tohka: Kingdom trooper of energy! Spirit Soldier Violet!

Shido: Spiritual powers of 12, unite as one! Sephira Squadron...!

All 12: Spirit Soldiers!

[An explosion is shown behind them]

Leo: Galaxy Red!

Nick: Fearsome as fire! Red Mystic Ranger!

Jayden and Lauren: Samurai Red, ready!

Tyler: Tyrannosaurus Rex! Power Ranger Red!

All five Red Rangers: Red Rangers, unite!

[A red explosion is shown behind them]

Ninjor: Don't forget Ninjor!

Mechalphas: Since these Spirit Soldiers are Master Westcott's responsibility, we can't destroy them.

Buneborg: That's right. Our objective is to subdue and capture them, while we take out the Rangers and Ninjor.

Mormoid: Troops, have at them!

[She and her army charge at the Rangers, Ninjor, and the Spirit Soldiers, who charge back, and a fight breaks out]

[Back at Morimoto's warehouse, Morimoto puts on his gloves]

Morimoto: The time has come, Tomoe Tachibana, for you to bear my children.

[Tomoe grits her teeth]

Tomoe: [in her mind] Tor, wherever you are, please get us outta here.

[Meanwhile, back on the road, Tor drives his Blaze Cycle]

Tor: I'm coming, girls. Julie. Tomoe. Miyabi. Lilith.

[He has flashbacks of all he had been through with the girls]

Tor: MORIMOTO!!

[He drives even faster]


Tor: I won't ever let up. Morimoto's gonna pay for what he did to you girls. I don't care what it takes. I swore with my life to protect you girls. Next time on ACME Crime Net: Red Rage Part 2. Vigilance, dedication, courage!
