Side-Pic 294: Fatal Future

Rated TV-14 (DLSV)

Tor: Remember, everyone, as you watch the show, make sure your room is brightly lit, and don't sit too close to the monitor.



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.

[Tor (as Exceed Ruby) flies his Blaze Cycle in mid-air; he suddenly starts to lose altitude]

Tor: I'm starting to lose altitude, Miss Tsukimi.

Tsukimi: [through Blaze Phone] Decrease fuel pressure. The temperature's rising too quickly.

Tor: Roger!

[He decreases the fuel pressure slightly]

Tor: Nothing! I can't maintain control!

[The cycle starts plummeting toward the ground]

Tor: I've gotta bail out!

[He jumps off his cycle and lands on top of a cloud]

Computer: Simulation terminated. Simulation terminated. Simulation terminated.

[The simulation ends; Tor is actually inside the holodeck of the Cosmo MagnaShip with his Blaze Cycle; the other Exceeds and Tsukimi walk up to him; Tor removes his helmet]

Tor: Girls, that was totally intense. The Kaleido Gladiators make it look so easy to fly.

Tomoe: Sometimes simulations can seem real. I'm sure you'll get used to it.

Tsukimi: You didn't do too badly for your first test of the Blaze Cycles' flight mode, but tomorrow, you've gotta try the real thing. Are you gonna be up to it?

Julie: If I know Tor, he will be ready.

[132 Madison Street, Wednesday, July 24th, 8:14am]

[Julie, Tomoe, and Lilith are having breakfast]

Lilith: Do you suppose Tor is ready for his first actual Blaze Cycle flight?

Tomoe: Flying that hunk of steel is gonna be tricky, but I know he's ready.

[Tor comes out of his group's room]

Tomoe: Over here, Flying Ace!

Tor: [approaches the table] Morning, girls.

Julie: Sarah made us bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches on English muffins.

Tor: [takes a bite] Interesting.

[Lilith looks at a joke in the newspaper and laughs]

Lilith: Okay, chaps. Here's a killer. Why did the hot dog turn down a major opportunity to star in a major motion picture?

Tomoe: Beats me.

Julie: I have no idea.

Tor: Why did he?

Lilith: None of his "rolls" were good enough.

[She laughs; the other three don't]

Lilith: Well, I thought it was funny.

[Miyabi bursts out of her group's room in a hurry, rubbing a towel on her head]

Miyabi: Sorry, guys! I overslept!

[She accidentally bumps into Sarah (who is carrying a tray of plastic cups of OJ); Sarah drops the tray, spilling the OJ on the floor]

Miyabi: Oh, my God! I'm so sorry, Sarah! [grabs paper towels] I'll clean it up for you.

[She wipes the spilled OJ]

Tomoe: You two give her a hand. Tor and I have work to do.

[She and Tor head outside while Julie and Lilith help Miyabi clean up the mess]

[Outside, Tsukimi awaits beside the Blaze Cycles]

Tsukimi: We'll inspect all flight systems, such as power, navigation, weapons, maneuvers, then come back.

Tomoe: Just take it easy until you got it down pat, okay, Tor?

Tor: Right. [touches the transform app on his phone] Blaze Morph!

[He gets suited up]

Tor: [gets on his cycle] Here we go! Engaging rockets, maximum thrust!

[He sets off on his cycle; as he picks up speed, the rockets thrust; the cycle takes to the sky]

Tsukimi: [checks her tablet] All systems are go. You're doing great so far, Tor.

[But while airborne, the engines suddenly start to malfunction]

Tor: The engines are malfunctioning! And the gauges are crazy!

Tsukimi: Find a safe place to land!

Tor: Roger!

[He descends to the ground below]

[Back at the warehouse, the alarm blares; everyone reports to the lab with Tyler Steele]

Tyler: There's an attack at Kips Bay. LN, Owen, and Ewan are there with a Super CDG Soldier and a platoon of Cyber Demonitron. And where's Tor?

Tsukimi: He's occupied with his Blaze Cycle elsewhere in town.

Julie: We'll have to go without him.

Tomoe: Let's go, troops!

[She and the other three exit the lab]

[Kips Bay, 8:33am]

[LN, Owen, and Ewan, along with an army of Cyber Demonitron and a Super CDG Soldier (played by Rob Wilson), attack numerous civilians]

LN: No sign of the Crystal Exceeds here.

Owen: Where could they be?

Ewan: Oh, they'll be here.

[Tomoe, Miyabi, Lilith, and Julie, as the Crystal Exceeds, drive into the scene on their Blaze Cycles]

Tomoe: That's far enough! All of you!

LN: Get them!

[She and her army fight the Exceeds]

Olson: Those Crystal Exceeds will learn to think twice before messing with Perry Olson.

[He whips out his Red Rapier and Blue Backsword]

Olson: Exceed Amethyst will be the first to go.

[He charges at Julie, who fights back w/her twin swords]

Julie: [touches the Lightspeed Rescue button on the Ranger app of her phone] Lightspeed Rescue!

[She morphs into Lightspeed Rescue Pink]

Julie: [inputs code on her Battle Booster] Battle Booster! 4-7-8!

[She karate-chops Olson]

Lilith: [touches the Alien Ranger button on the Ranger app of her phone] Powers of Aquitar, activate!

[She morphs into the Black Alien Ranger]

Lilith: [fires blasts from her Aquitian Laser at five Cyber Demonitron] Fire in the hole!

Miyabi: [touches the SPD button] SPD Emergency!

[She morphs into SPD Yellow]

Miyabi: [fires blasts from her Deltamax Striker at Owen and Ewan] Deltamax Striker!

[Owen and Ewan block w/their swords]

Miyabi: [switches her Deltamax Striker to knuckle mode] Then let's try this!

[She punches Owen and Ewan in the guts]

Tomoe: [touches the Samurai button] Go go Samurai!

[She morphs into Samurai Blue]

Tomoe: [fires arrows from her Hydro Bow] Hydro Bow!

[LN narrowly dodges each arrow]

[Meanwhile, in a secluded area on Roosevelt Island, Tor (helmet off) removes the engine's lid; he reaches into his ACME Crime Net Vehicle Repair Kit and extracts a small device; using it, he inspects the engine's circuits and makes some repairs; afterwards, his phone suddenly rings]

Tor: Go ahead.

Miyabi: Tor, we need your help! Kips Bay, quick!

Tor: I'm on my way, Miyabi. Hang in there!

[He puts his helmet back on and gets back on his cycle]

Tor: This had better work.

[He struggles to start his cycle, but to no avail]

Tor: Damn it! There's gotta be a way to get the engines back on track! The others need me! [struggles again] Come on, you piece of sh*t! Move!

[He slams his right fist against the console, causing the engines to ignite]

Tor: All right! I got it!

[He takes to the sky]

Tor: Hopefully it'll at least get me to the others. Just gotta keep my fuel pressure at a low.

[He inserts his phone into the controls and watches live footage of the fight]

Tor: I'm coming, girls.

[One of the engines suddenly misfires]

Tor: Crap!

[Back at Kips Bay, the other four Exceeds (back to Crystal Exceed form) are overwhelmed by the Demonoid army]

Olson: You four about ready to give up?!

Tomoe: No chance! Crystal Cannon!

[The Crystal Cannon appears]

LN: [whips out a small device] Not so fast!

[She activates the device, which creates a tractor beam that hits the Crystal Cannon]

Tomoe: Hey!

[She leaps for the cannon, but the device is too fast; the beam brings the cannon into LN's hands]

LN: Too bad, Exceeds. Your Crystal Cannon is now mine.

Lilith: Give that back!

[Olson strikes the four down w/his swords]

Julie: Where's Tor?

Olson: Let 'em have it, Lady LN!

LN: This is the end, Exceeds!

[Back in the air, Tor tries to pick up speed]

Tor: I don't have enough speed! Come on!

[The engines start to sputter and spark; back at Kips Bay, LN prepares to fire the cannon]

LN: So long. FIRE!!!

[She fires a blast from the cannon at the Exceeds, hitting all four of them hard]

[Back in the sky, Tor has seen it]

Tor: NO!

[Back at Kips Bay, the female Exceeds (back to normal) are knocked out and bleeding]

LN: When Master Westcott finds out there's only one Exceed left, he'll reward us all handsomely.

[She laughs maniacally]

[Back in the sky, the gauges of Tor's Blaze Cycle start going haywire]

Tor: What the hell's going on now?!

[He and his cycle suddenly get engulfed in a strange vortex; the cycle spins out of control]

Tor: What's this?!

[Fade to white]

[Fade back to reality; Tor, back in the holodeck of the MangaShip, screams in horror; the female Exceeds rush in]

Julie: Tor, are you all right?

Miyabi: Get it together!

[Tor takes off his helmet, panting heavily]

Tor: Girls, you're alive!

Lilith: Of course we are. It's only a simulation!

Tor: Simulation? No, this was real. I was trying to get to you girls in time, but...

Tomoe: Sometimes simulations can seem real. I'm sure you'll get used to it.

Tsukimi: You didn't do too badly for your first test of the Blaze Cycles' flight mode, but tomorrow, you've gotta try the real thing. Are you gonna be up to it?

Julie: If I know Tor, he will be ready. Come on. Dinner's waiting.

[They all exit]

[Later that night, in the Exceeds' room, Tor is sound asleep, but tosses and turns when he dreams about the others getting killed by the Demonoids; he wakes up, panting heavily; he looks on at the girls, each sleeping peacefully in bed]

Tor: It couldn't have been a dream before. Even if it was, I can't let that happen again.

[132 Madison Street, Wednesday, July 24th, 8:14am]

[Julie, Tomoe, and Lilith are having breakfast]

Lilith: Do you suppose Tor is ready for his first actual Blaze Cycle flight?

Tomoe: Flying that hunk of steel is gonna be tricky, but I know he's ready.

[Tor comes out of his group's room]

Tomoe: Over here, Flying Ace!

Tor: [approaches the table] Morning, girls. [takes a sandwich] Far out! Bacon, egg, and cheese on English muffins!

[He takes a bite]

Julie: What's gotten into you? And how do you know exactly what Sarah made?

Tor: She made this stuff yesterday.

Tomoe: Yesterday, she made steak and eggs.

[Lilith looks at a joke in the newspaper and laughs]

Lilith: Okay, chaps. Here's a killer. Why did the hot dog turn down a major opportunity to star in a major motion picture?

Tomoe: Beats me.

Julie: I have no idea.

Tor: I do. None of his "rolls" were good enough.

Lilith: How did you know?

Tor: You told us that joke yesterday. Remember?

Lilith: I didn't. This is today's paper.

[She shows the date on the paper: Wednesday, July 24th; Tor is surprised]

Tomoe: It must be something he ate last night.

[Miyabi bursts out of her group's room in a hurry, rubbing a towel on her head]

Miyabi: Sorry, guys! I overslept!

Tor: Miyabi, watch out!

[He rushes toward Sarah (who has a tray of plastic cups of OJ on hand) and grabs the tray and pulls her back just before Miyabi can bump into her]

Miyabi: Oh. Sorry.

Sarah: Master Tor, thank you.

[Tor hands her back the tray]

Tor: No problem. [in his mind] Deja vu.

[Tomoe walks up to him]

Tomoe: Come on, Tor. You and I have work to do.

[She and Tor head outside, where Tsukimi awaits beside the Blaze Cycles]

Tsukimi: We'll inspect all flight systems, such as power, navigation, weapons, maneuvers, then come back.

Tor: [quietly in unison with Tsukimi] ...maneuvers, then come back.

Tomoe: Just take it easy until you got it down pat, okay, Tor?

Tor: Right.

Tsukimi: Any questions?

Tor: Miss Tsukimi, ever since last night's simulation, I've gotten some sort of feeling like I've lived this day before.

Tsukimi: Simulations can be disorienting. Believe me. Just focus, and you'll be fine.

Tor: Right. [touches the transform app on his phone] Blaze Morph!

[He gets suited up]

Tor: [gets on his cycle] Here we go! Engaging rockets, maximum thrust!

[He sets off on his cycle; as he picks up speed, the rockets thrust; the cycle takes to the sky]

Tor: All systems are go. So far, so good.

[The engines suddenly start to malfunction]

Tor: The engines are malfunctioning! And the gauges are crazy! Miss Tsukimi, I knew it'd happen!

Tsukimi: Find a safe place to land!

Tor: Roger!

[He descends to Roosevelt Island and lands safely; he removes his helmet]

Tor: Currently at Roosevelt Island. I'll check the circuits.

[As he checks the engines' circuits, he suddenly remembers what happened earlier]

Tor: [in his mind] I knew that was real. I must've gone back in time.

[His phone rings]

Miyabi: Tor, we need your help!

Tor: [still in his mind] The attack at Kips Bay. [aloud] Girls, whatever you do, don't call for the Crystal Cannon! Can anyone hear me?! Girls! [huffs; hangs up] I gotta get there before they call for the cannon!

[He puts on his helmet, jumps onto his cycle, inserts his phone into the controls to watch the live feed of the fight, and takes off into the sky]

[Kips Bay, 8:37am]

[The fight between the other four Crystal Exceeds and the Demonoid army (LN, Owen, Ewan, Olson, and the Cyber Demonitron) is on; the Exceeds are overwhelmed]

Olson: You four about ready to give up?!

Tomoe: No chance! Crystal Cannon!

[The Crystal Cannon appears]

LN: [whips out a small device] Not so fast!

[She activates the device, which creates a tractor beam that hits the Crystal Cannon]

Tomoe: Hey!

[She leaps for the cannon, but the device is too fast; the beam brings the cannon into LN's hands]

LN: Too bad, Exceeds. Your Crystal Cannon is now mine.

Lilith: Give that back!

[Olson strikes the four down w/his swords]

Julie: Where's Tor?

Olson: Let 'em have it, Lady LN!

LN: This is the end, Exceeds! So long. FIRE!!!

[Suddenly, a blast from Tor's cycle strikes her before she can fire; the other Exceeds look up and see Tor on his airborne Blaze Cycle]

LN: You!

Exceeds: It's Tor!

Tor: I won't let you down twice, girls!

Olson: Uh, you guys handle him for me. I've got something important to do.

[He is about to run off]

Tor: You're not going anywhere, Perry Olson! Fire lasers!

[His cycle fires lasers at Olson, hitting him hard; Tor then swipes the Crystal Cannon from LN's hands]

LN: Hey! Give that back!

Tor: Gladly! FIRE!

[He fires a blast from the cannon at LN, Owen, and Ewan, hitting them all]

Tomoe: Look at him go!

[Olson flies after Tor]

Olson: You can't get away from me!

[He charges at Tor w/his swords, but Tor intercepts w/his shield]

Tor: Give it up, Olson! I won't let you or the Demonoids harm my girls ever again!

Olson: Try me!

Tor: [grabs his phone and touches the MMPR button on the Ranger app] It's Morphin Time!

[He morphs into MMPR Red]

Tor: [whips out his Power Sword] Take this!

[He and Olson fight with their swords]

Olson: ACME Crime Net has given me enough trouble, costing me my job at a clinic and taking 10 years of my life away from me!

Tor: You robbed the gift shop!

Olson: I needed the money. The boss wouldn't give me the raise I wanted.

Tor: You didn't have to resort to stealing!

Olson: My car was a clunker, and fixing it would have taken forever. And I hate rentals!

Tor: Well, that's your problem!

[His sword glows]

Tor: Power Sword, final strike!

[He strikes Olson w/his sword hard; Olson falls to the ground; Tor lands safely on the ground and reverts to Exceed Ruby; the other four Exceeds run up to him]

Lilith: Tor, you were incredible up there!

Tomoe: See? I told you you'd get it.

Julie: Nice flying.

Miyabi: And you got here just in the nick of time. I don't know what would've happened to us if you hadn't shown up like you did.

Tor: Trust me, you don't wanna know. I'm just really grateful my Blaze Cycle can fly perfectly now.

Olson: [gets back on his feet] I'm not done yet. I want my 10 years back!

[The three Demonoids join him]

Tor: What's say we give him a taste of our new mode?

All five Exceeds: [touch the Primal Blaze app on their phones] Primal Blaze Mode, activate!

[They get equipped with their Primal Blaze Mode armor]

Olson: Where'd you get that getup?!

Tor: No comment. Charge!

[He and the others charge at the Demonoid team w/their weapons and fight them over the next two minutes; afterwards, Tor strikes down Olson w/his katana]

Olson: You can't do this to me!

[The Exceeds clink their weapons together; their armor glows]

Exceeds: Primal Charge!

[They unleash a burst of energy in the shape of their animal spirits, which strikes the villains hard; all four scream, fall to the ground, and an explosion is shown; after the smoke clears, the villains get back on their feet]

LN: [pushes a button on her left wrist] Giga Beam!

[The Giga Beam appears from the sky and hits the four villains, enlarging them all]

Exceeds: Blaze Borgs, assemble!

[The Blaze Borgs charge into the scene and combine to from the Exceed Blaze King]

Exceeds: [whip out their Crystal Coins] Crystal Coins, ready! Summon Blaze Beasts!

[The Blaze Beasts charge into the scene and combine to form the Primal Blaze King]

[Tor, Julie, and Lilith jump into the Exceed Blaze King's cockpit; Tomoe and Miyabi jump into the Primal Blaze King's cockpit]

Tor: Let's see if you jerks have the juice to handle two Blaze Kings.

LN: Oh, we do. [fires blasts from her cannon at the two mecha] Take this!

[The two mecha take the blasts, then charge at and then punch LN]

LN: Barely made a dent. Owen! Ewan!

[Owen and Ewan whip out their swords]

Owen: [strikes the Exceed Blaze King w/his swords] Prescott or no Prescott, we will prevail!

Ewan: [strikes the Primal Blaze King w/his swords] Westcott will rule supreme!

Tomoe: [from the Primal Blaze King] That's not the real Ewan Mathers talking. That's Westcott's brainwashing effects!

Miyabi: And the same goes for Owen! Westcott is just using you two as his puppets!

Olson: Shut it!

[He fires a blast from his Quantum Cannon at the two mecha, hitting them]

Olson: [holds the two mecha at sword point] Any last words?

[Cut to the Exceed Blaze King's cockpit]

Tor: [touches the Ninja Steel button on the Ranger app of his phone] Lion Fire Spin Strike!

[Outside, the Exceed Blaze King gets equipped with two throwing stars, combines them into a large blazing star, and launches it at Olson, hitting him]

Tor: The power of Ninja Steel works wonders for this mecha!

[Cut to the Primal Blaze King's cockpit]

Tomoe: [touches the Zeo button on the Ranger app] Now to boost the Primal Blaze King with the power of the Zeo Crystal!

[Outside, the Warrior Wheel appears]


Miyabi: The Warrior Wheel?!

Tomoe: This is perfect! Let's give it a roll!

[The Warrior Wheel assumes its wheel formation]

[The Primal Blaze King rolls the Warrior Wheel like a bowling ball toward Olson and the Demonoids, hitting them all like bowling pins; the Warrior Wheel then converts to Warrior Mode and strikes them all]

Tomoe: WHOO! Ain't no stoppin' the Crystal Exceeds!

[All four villains charge at the mecha w/their swords]

All five Exceeds: Exceed Souls, unite!

[Their souls unite; the Crystal Javelin appears in the Exceed Blaze King's hands; the Primal Katana appears in the Primal Blaze King's hands]

Tor, Julie, and Lilith: Crystal Javelin, Lukifer Slash!

Tomoe and Miyabi: Primal Katana, Primal Slash!

All five: FINAL ATTACK!

[The two mecha strike the villains hard w/their weapons]

LN: You may have won this round, but we'll get you in the next!

[She, Owen, and Ewan vanish, leaving Olson behind]

Olson: [groans in pain] Hey! What about me?!

[He falls to the ground, and an explosion is shown; the two mecha bump fists]

[Back at the Nickar, the normal-sized LN, Owen, and Ewan bow before Westcott]

LN: Forgive us, master.

Owen: We've failed.

Ewan: But it wasn't our fault this time. Not even Olson's. Exceed Ruby's Blaze Cycle had a new feature, and...

Westcott: Silence! I've heard all the excuses. You three, leave me. And try better next time.

LN: Yes, sir.

[She, Owen, and Ewan exit; LN suddenly stops for a moment]

LN: [in her mind] Why do I suddenly have this funny feeling inside just now? Like... I'm not myself?

[Deep within her is the soul of her former self]

Ellen: Ewan... Uncle Owen...

LN: [shakes it off and grunts] I can't let that get to me now! I've got work to do.

[She ventures further]

[132 Madison Street, 9:23am]

[Tor reports to the lab, where Tyler and Tsukimi make final adjustments to the Blaze Cycles]

Tor: Miss Tsukimi. Mr. Steele.

Tyler: Glad you could make it, Tor.

Tor: Just came down to tell you that Garcia has Olson locked up in Rikers.

Tyler: Good news. All this because he thought ACME denied him a good car. And as long as you're here, lemme be the first to tell you that we've replaced all fuse panels and circuits.

Tsukimi: And not just on your Blaze Cycle, but all the others', too. You shouldn't have anymore problems with it from here on out.

Tor: Thanks.

[The other four Exceeds enter the lab]

Tomoe: Just the man we're looking for.

Miyabi: We couldn't get your fancy flying out of our heads.

Tor: Great news, girls. Now all five of our Blaze Cycles are equipped with flight mode.

Lilith: Oh, that's wonderful!

Julie: Yeah. By the way, Tor, we wanted to give you a little reward for passing your flying test with flying colors.

[She hands Tor an aviator pilot cap; everyone laughs]

Tor: You really shouldn't have. [puts it on]

Tomoe: How 'bout a selfie?

[Everyone gathers around Tomoe as she takes out her Blaze Phone; she opens the camera app]

Tomoe: Smile!

[Everyone smiles as she snaps a selfie]

[FINAL NOTE:
Perry Olson was tried and convicted of five counts of assault in the first degree, one count of grand larceny in the first degree, and one count of parole violation. He was sentenced to 75 years in Greenhaven Correctional Facility, and his driver's license was permanently revoked.]


[Clips from the next side-fic are shown]

Lilith: Well, that episode went by pretty quickly, didn't it?

Tomoe: But did we seriously have to pick an ex-game show model to play such a cowardly bad guy?

Tor: Oh, we'll have him back for another role. But now we've got a couple of bonding stories.

Miyabi: And Tomoe and I are the stars next time!

Julie: Next time on ACME Crime Net, Cutting Ties.

Tsukimi: Vigilance, dedication, courage!
