Tor: Remember to turn on some lights in the room and sit as far from the monitor as you can. Off we go!



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, Friday, November 29th, 1:00pm]

[Lilith and Artemisia have fish and chips with their tea]

Lilith: Nothing like a decent helping of fish and chips with our afternoon tea.

Artemisia: Quite. [sips her tea; sighs] Very refreshing. So, Lily, dear, I've heard tell of your husband's summer dates. Tell me, how did yours go?

Lilith: It was one of the hottest dates of my life, Artie. And I'm not just talking about the heat wave.

[She has a flashback]

[132 Madison Street, Thursday, June 27th, 7:43am]

[Tor is sound asleep in bed with a still-nude (and tanned) Miyabi by his side; Tor moans in his sleep]

Tor: [sleepily] Wow. Miyabi, still naughty from last night? [pants] Easy.

[Miyabi wakes up and notices]

Miyabi: Tor, wake up. You're having another one of your wet dreams.

[She suddenly notices something moving under the sheets above Tor; she blushes and looks under the sheets just as Tor moans loudly]

Miyabi: Lilith!

[Lilith giggles as she comes out from under the covers, naked; she smacks her lips]

Lilith: Good morning.

Miyabi: [puts on her lingerie and a shirt] Isn't a little early for your seductions?

Lilith: It was just a little pre-date fun, Miyabi.

[Tor wakes up and wipes his eyes]

Tor: Morning, Miyabi. I'll go get-- [notices Lilith] Lilith?!

Lilith: Good morning, darling. [kisses Tor] I see you slept well last night.

Tor: Yeah, I did. But did you have to do-- Well,... that to me this early? We haven't even started our date yet, and already, you're giving me--

Lilith: I just wanted you to feel good before our date. I just wish you'd have let the other girls do the same before this past week.

Tor: [sighs] Oh, well. [gets out of bed] I'm gonna start making breakfast. [puts on his robe] Excuse me, ladies. [exits the room]

[Miyabi and Lilith laugh, then get dressed]

[Later, in the kitchen, Tor's group sits down for breakfast]

All of Tor's group: Please bless this food.

[They start eating]

Tomoe: So, Tor, it's you and Lilith today, eh?

Tor: Yep. We're gonna tour the Statue of Liberty.

Lilith: I only hope no disaster will befall this date like it did the last three.

Imari: I know. The Galactic Ninjas almost made Tor fall in love with another woman.

Tomoe: And some greedy bastard burned down the café where Tor and I were having lunch.

Miyabi: And don't get me started on that sick pr*ck from yesterday.

Julie: Uff-da. I hope for the same thing during my date tomorrow.

Tsukimi: Even if there is disaster, you're the Crystal Exceeds. You'll put a stop to it.

[Tomoe gulps down her milk]

Tomoe: Ahh! Anyways, I owe Miyabi a game of tennis on the roof.

Imari: Yeah, and I'm taking Julie to the mall later to shop for new clothes for her date tomorrow.

Tor: All right, then. But stop what you're doing if there's an emergency that requires your help.

Lilith: If necessary, our mecha and the Ninja Zords are on standby.

[The other girls nod]

Imari: By the way, Tor, I hope you don't mind, but I need to borrow the car for the mall trip.

Tor: [hands Imari the key] No problem. Lilith and I are taking the bus.

[Later, in the Exceeds' room, Lilith applies a small amount of of mascara to her eyelashes and gloss to her lips; she winks at her reflection in the mirror]

Lilith: Bonding, sightseeing, lunch, more sightseeing, a home-cooked candlelit dinner, and a hot night in the shower before bedtime.

[She grabs her purse and skips outside the warehouse to join Tor; she locks the door]

Lilith: I'm ready, darling.

Tor: Let's rock and roll!

[They make their way to the nearest bus stop]

[New York Harbor, 9:00am]

[Tor and Lilith are onboard the ferry with numerous other people; they take in the view from the upper deck]

Lilith: Isn't this the life, my dear?

Tor: Ain't it the truth?

Lilith: [sighs] Tor, could I talk to you about something?

Tor: Sure. What about? Wait, are you having second thoughts about backing out on your arranged marriage?

Lilith: Of course not. The family has accepted you as my husband. You see, love, at the mall the other day, when the girls and I were having lunch, we saw quite a few women with babies. Some were even expecting.

Tor: Wait, you actually wanna have a baby?

Lilith: [sighs] Yes, I do. I know it's not so easy, us being Exceeds and all, but somehow, I feel like I'm ready. Aren't you?

Tor: Well, I'm all for being a dad, but like you said, we're Exceeds. What kind of parents would we be if we weren't there for our children physically?

Lilith: I understand. But the fact is, I want to be a mother. It's been over a year since our first time, and you're very good with children. All of us Exceeds are.

Tor: You make a good point, Lilith, but an Exceed having a baby is a very big responsibility.

[Unknown to them, a woman wearing a black beanie and shades and holding a black duffel bag watches from the other side of the ferry]

Jamie: Interesting couple.

[Unknown to anyone, inside her duffel bag is a pile of cash]

[Later, the Statue of Liberty tour begins; Tor and Lilith take in the sights; they even tour the statue's crown; they observe the view from the window]

Tor: Isn't it a beautiful sight from up here, Lilith?

Lilith: Lovely, dear. Absolutely lovely.

[They notice that nobody is watching; they share a slow kiss]

[After a minute or two, go back down the stairs]

[Later, Tor and Lilith are on another bus]

Tor: Hopefully, our lunch won't be nearly as disastrous as what happened during my date with Tomoe.

Lilith: After that, we'll see to it that it doesn't happen again.

[Suddenly, the whole ground beneath the bus begins to vibrate, causing the passengers to react]

Lilith: I say! What on Earth?!

Tor: [looks out the window] Oh, no. It's him.

Lilith: Who?

[A giant-sized Moltor (enemy of Power Rangers Operation Overdrive marches into the scene]

Moltor: Captain Omen will not regret giving me this second chance! Once I'm rid of those pesky Crystal Exceeds, the Power Rangers are next. They took the Corona Aurora from me, as well as the honor of killing my traitorous brother.

Lilith: Is that Moltor?!

Tor: An enemy of Operation Overdrive. We'd better get to work. [to the driver] Stop the bus! There's a monster on the loose!

[The driver notices Moltor, then slams on the brakes hard]

Tor: Ladies and gentlemen, we're sorry about the interruption, but this is an emergency. That giant monster is attacking, so it's too dangerous to go any further. I'll be happy to lead you all to safety.

[He is about to get off the bus, when Jamie blocks his path]

Jamie: Where do you think you're going?

Tor: Sorry, ma'am, but you felt the quake. We gotta evacuate!

Jamie: I really didn't wanna have to use this.

[She whips out a gun, much to the horror of the other passengers]

Lilith: How'd that get in here?!

Jamie: No talking! Back to your seats! All of you!

[She shoves Tor back into his seat as the passengers sit back down]

Lilith: You're insane, lady! Moltor could destroy us all!

Jamie: Don't make me have to use this gun! [to the driver] Drive!

[The driver reluctantly does so; the passengers stay silent]

Tor: What kinda idiot carries a gun on a bus like that?

Jamie: Not a word, buster! One more, and it's lead poisoning for you.

[The driver turns his head]

Jamie: Hey! Don't do anything you'll live to regret.

[The driver turns his head back around to face the road]

Jamie: That's better.

[Lilith eyes Jamie's gun, then jumps out of her seat and kicks the gun out of Jamie's hand]

Jamie: My gun! Damn it, blondie!

[A fight breaks out between Lilith and Jamie as the latter tries to reach for her gun]

Lilith: Don't you ever mess with my husband! And don't you ever bring a gun in public transport!

Jamie: What's it to you?

Lilith: I will not say it again. Ever!

[Outside, Moltor unleashes bursts of magma upon the city; some actually hit areas close to where the bus is; the driver tries his best to avoid the attacks, until suddenly, the bus swerves toward the edge of a bridge; the driver hits the brakes hard; the impact of the swerve causes Jamie to fall out the door; Jamie grabs ahold of the bus]

Jamie: Oh, God, no!

[Some of her money falls out of her jacket]

Jamie: Somebody help me! Please!

Lilith: Stay here, Tor. Help the passengers, and contact the others. [approaches the door] I'm coming!

[She grabs Jamie's hand; Jamie struggles to reach for the bus with her left hand]

Lilith: Don't you let go.

Jamie: I don't know how much longer I can hold on!

Lilith: Just trust me!

[The bus suddenly starts tipping]

Tor: Everybody get to the back!

[He, the driver, and the passengers rush to the back of the bus to try and keep the bus level]

Lilith: I won't let you go! Just hang on!

[She suddenly starts to slip, until Tor grabs her by the ankles]

Lilith: Tor, my ankles!

Tor: I gotcha, Lilith! Don't let go of that bandit!

Lilith: You needn't tell me twice!

[Tor pulls Lilith back inside the bus with all her might, causing Lilith to pull Jamie inside, as well; all three pant heavily]

Tor: Are you okay?

Lilith: Yes. [to Jamie] Are you all right, ma'am?

Jamie: Yeah. Thanks to you.

[The ground starts to shake again, the sudden movement causes the driver to fall toward one of the metal railings, causing his right shoulder to take a hit]

[Outside, the Diamond Dragon flies into the scene; on board the cockpit are Exceeds Cobalt, Topaz, Amethyst, and Diamond]

Miyabi: We gotta hurry! The bus is gonna tip over!

Tomoe: All right, Imari! Grab it!

[Outside, the Diamond Dragon grabs the bus just before it can fall over]

Imari: [from the Diamond Dragon] Ladies and gentlemen aboard the bus, this is Crystal Exceed Diamond. We've come to guide you to safety.

[The passengers cheer; the Diamond Dragon places the bus steadily back onto the bridge]

Tor: Way to go, ladies.

[A bit later, the four Crystal Exceeds enter the bus]

Jamie: [sighs] Crystal Exceeds. Thank God.

Tor: Thanks, girls. I thought we were goners.

Lilith: We still have to stop Moltor.

Julie: [to the driver] You have to get this bus out of here.

Driver: I can't. My shoulder's all banged up from that seismic activity.

Miyabi: Lemme have a look.

[She inspects the driver's right shoulder, then shakes her head at the others]

Tomoe: Well, something's gotta be done. Passengers, does anyone have any experience in driving buses?

[The passengers don't answer, until Jamie looks up, then removes her shades]

Jamie: I do. I used to be a bus driver.

Driver: You, drive my bus? You belong in the clink. [to the Exceeds] This woman had a gun earlier.

Imari: What?! You gotta be kidding me!

Tomoe: Well, we can't let her drive.

Lilith: I say we do let her.

Tor: Lilith's right. She's the only one here who knows how. Like it or not, we have to trust her.

Jamie: [removes her beanie] Yeah. You can trust me on this.

[She stuffs her beanie and her gun into her duffel bag, then slides the bag under the rearmost seat]

Jamie: I just hope I still got it in my blood.

[Tor and Lilith turn to the passengers, who nod, then to the driver, who does the same]

Tor: C'mon, girls. Let's get outta here.

[He, Lilith, and the other four exit the bus]

Jamie: But what about you two?

Tor: We'll be fine! We know how to beat Moltor.

Jamie: Okay. Good luck!

[She takes the driver's seat]

Jamie: Okay, everyone. Here we go.

[She closes the front door, then starts driving the bus to safety; outside, the Exceeds watch the bus leave]

Tor: Now that they're safe, let's put Moltor's lights out.

Tor and Lilith: Blaze morph!

[They get suited up]

Lilith: Blaze Borgs, assemble!

[The Blaze Borgs enter the scene]

Tor: Time to kick 'em into overdrive!

[He and the other four core Exceeds insert the Drivemax Megazord keys into the adapters of their phones]

Exceeds: DriveMax Zord transformation!

[The Blaze Borgs transform into the Operation Overdrive DriveMax Zords; the five Exceeds jump into the cockpits]

Tor: Dump Driver!

Lilith: Speed Driver!

Tomoe: Gyro Driver!

Miyabi: Dozer Driver!

Julie: Sub Driver!

All five: DriveMax Zords, move out!

[The Zords drive off]

Imari: Hey, guys! Wait up!

[She jumps back into the Diamond Dragon's cockpit]

[Back in the city, Moltor continues his attack]

Moltor: What's taking the Exceeds so long?! I won't go back to the Gullveig Galleon without destroying them first!

[Suddenly, the DriveMax Zords and Diamond Dragon strike him]

Moltor: Huh?! Impossible! The DriveMax Zords!

Lilith: Surprised to see us, Moltor?!

Moltor: Well, it's about time you fools showed up. 'Cause now I can destroy you all!

Lilith: Not if we ca help it! DriveMax Megazord, activate!

[The DriveMax Zords combine to form the DriveMax Megazord]

[Cut to the cockpit with the five core Crystal Exceeds (with Lilith at the front seat]

Exceeds: DriveMax Megazord, assembly complete!

Tomoe: Imari, ready to rock?!

[Cut to the Diamond Dragon's cockpit with Exceed Diamond]

Imari: [inserts the remote-control device and inputs the code] All set! Diamond Dragon, convert to Battle Formation! Ninja Megazord, power up!

[Outside, the Diamond Dragon assumes Battle Formation; the Ninja Zords march into the scene and combine to form the Ninja Megazord]

Moltor: Lava Lizards, assemble!

[10 giant Lava Lizards appear]

Moltor: Get them!

[He and the Lava Lizards charge at the mecha]

Imari: Leave these Lava Lizards to me and the Ninja Megazord! You guys deal with Moltor!

Lilith: You needn't tell us twice.

[While the Diamond Dragon and Ninja Megazord fight the Lava Lizards, the DriveMax Megazord fights Moltor]

Moltor: Don't think this transformation will hold indefinitely, Exceeds.

Lilith: Whatever time we have is all we need to give you a severe thrashing!

Tomoe: Don't think we forgot your petty grudge with your brother!

Moltor: He ruined my sled!

Tor: Sleds can be repaired or replaced!

Moltor: Flurious broke it, and it was his responsibility to fix or replace it. And what did he do about it? NOTHING!

[He punches the Megazord backwards]

Moltor: All he cared about was himself. I refuse to pay for my brother's recklessness!

Lilith: Well, stupid of him as that was, Tor's made even bigger mistakes than breaking a stupid sled, and did any of us hold a grudge against him for any of that? No!

Moltor: Oh, burn in Hell!

[He fires lightning blasts at the Megazord, but the Megazord bursts through and strikes him with its Drive Digger Shovel and pickaxe]

Moltor: [shoots fireballs everywhere] You're nothing like the Power Rangers! You'll never defeat me!

[Meanwhile, back on the bus, Jamie continues driving smoothly]

Driver: I gotta be honest with you, kid, you're a pretty good driver.

Jamie: Thanks, mister. I used to like doing this for a living. You know, it feels pretty good to have you all trust me.

Driver: [chuckles] I know the feeling. [pats her on the shoulder]

[Jamie suddenly notices Moltor's fireballs raining down]

Jamie: Oh, my God! Everybody hold on! We're under attack!

[She swerves the bus as fast as she can to avoid every fireball, until she finally reaches a spot on the road where the fireballs can't reach; she brakes hard, pulling the bus over; she pants heavily]

Jamie: Everyone all right?

[The passengers nod]

Driver: Good job, kiddo.

Jamie: Thanks. Now if only the Crystal Exceeds can take out Moltor.

[Back at the scene of the giant battle, the mecha knock Moltor's fireballs right back at him; Moltor absorbs them]

Moltor: Good thing Omen gave me the power of heat resistance. Now to finish you all off!

[He strikes the three mecha with his swords]

Tor: Drive Digger, saber mode!

[The DriveMax Megazord combines its weapons to form the Drive Saber]

Exceeds: Drive Saber, final attack!

[The Megazord strikes Moltor hard with its saber, then reverts to the Exceed Blaze King]

Moltor: Finish them off!

[The Lava Lizards charge]

Lilith: He'll never learn. Crystal Javelin!

[The Exceed Blaze King gets equipped with its javelin, powered by the Exceeds' souls]

Exceeds: Lukifer Slash! Final attack!

[The Blaze King strikes all 10 Lava Lizards with its javelin, destroying them]

Moltor: My Lava Lizards!

Lilith: And you're next!

All six Exceeds: Combine!

[The Exceed Blaze King combines with the Diamond Dragon to form the Exceed Blaze Dragon King]

[Cut to the cockpit with the whole team of Exceeds]

Lilith: Allow me to cool this b***er off. [whips out her Blaze Buster] With this.

Tor: Right. Good luck, Lilith.

[Lilith jumps out of the cockpit and on top of the Exceed Blaze Dragon King]

Lilith: Hey, Moltor! I think you need to chill out!

[She fires a cold blast from her Blaze Buster at Moltor's head and swords, causing them to freeze solid]

Moltor: [muffled] Damn you, Exceed Emerald!

Lilith: Ninja Megazord, Power Punch!

[The Ninja Megazord's fists glow with the roar of an ape and the howl of a wolf; the Megazord punches Moltor, sending him flying]

All six Exceeds: Dragon Javelin, Ultimate Strike! FINAL ATTACK!

[The Exceed Blaze Dragon King takes to the sky, then dives down and strikes Moltor with its glowing javelin, electrifying him]

Moltor: [as his head breaks free from the ice] Curse you, Exceeds! Now I'll never get my revenge on the Rangers!

[He engulfs in a massive explosion]

Lilith: Checkmate! Kouryou Squadron...!

All six Exceeds: Crystal Exceeds!

[Port Authority Bus Terminal, 11:44am]

[The bus has just parked; everybody gets off; one passenger brings out Jamie's duffel bag; the Exceeds, back to normal, approach them]

Driver: So, you guys are actually the Crystal Exceeds?

Tor: Yes, I'm afraid we are, sir.

Driver: Don't worry. We're not gonna sell your secret. After all, you saved the whole city.

Lilith: It was our pleasure, sir. [to Jamie] But you, miss, are just as heroic.

Jamie: I was only doing what was right. I know it's not gonna erase the fact that I robbed a bank this morning and held you all up on the bus, but--

Driver: Remember, kid, doing what's right is half the battle.

Tomoe: Yeah, and as long as you keep doing the right thing, you'll be home free.

Jamie: Thank you. All of you. [turns to Lilith] Especially you, Lilith. You saved my life on that bus.

[She and Lilith shake hands; just then, squad cars arrive; cops come out]

Jamie: Well, time for me to pay up.

Cop: Crystal Exceeds, well done in taking out Moltor. I don't know what my unit would've done. We'll take it from here.

[He turns to Jamie]

Cop: Jamie Steinbeck?

Jamie: Yeah, I'm Jamie Steinbeck.

Cop: We have a warrant for your arrest. Come with us.

Jamie: Yes, officer.

Tor: Wait, buddy. Don't cuff her yet. Despite her wrongdoings, you should know that she saved these people while my team and I took care of Moltor.

[The driver and passengers nod in agreement; one of them hands the cops Jamie's bag]

Cop: Thanks for letting me know, Tor. We'll see if we can pass this on to Flynn and the judge. C'mon, Jamie.

Jamie: Just one more thing. [to the others] Don't any of you worry. I'm cool with paying for what I've done wrong. From here on out, my life's gonna start anew. After I serve my time, I'm out of the life of crime for good. Farewell, everyone.

[She follows the cops into the car; the Exceeds salute her as the squad cars drive away; the driver and passengers set off]

Lilith: Good luck, Jamie.

Imari: Well, now that that's over with, we'd better get home.

Tor: And Lilith and I have a date to continue. Carmine's?

Lilith: Absolutely, dear.

Tomoe: Okay. You guys have fun.

[She, Imari, Julie, and Miyabi get on their Blaze Cycles and drive away; Tor and Lilith hold hands as they walk out of the terminal all the way to Carmine's; they eat Italian food, observe the sights of the city, and that night, they have a candlelit dinner; in the bathroom, they bathe together while making out; later, the two are in bed together (Tor is in his shirt and boxers; Lilith is naked); all the while, Julie looks through the dresses in her closet to decide what to wear for her date]

Julie: The best is yet to come, Tor. I'll see to it.

[Back to the present]

Artemisia: A friendly bank robber? You don't see that every day.

Lilith: At least Jamie didn't ruin my date. Plus, I visit her once a month to see how she's doing.

Artemisia: Anyway, color me jealous. You and Tor had been doing it countless times since you were 18, and me-- 23 and still a virgin. Now, tell me, how exactly do you and the others access the Morphin Grid?

Lilith: Long story, but it's like this.

[As she begins her story, the episode fades to black]

[FINAL NOTE:
Jamie Steinbeck pleaded guilty to robbery in the third degree and was sentenced to four years in prison.]


Julie: Next time: Rat Rock Rumble.
