A/N: Let's see, we start off at the Shiba house after the rangers meet Scott. Then, we look in on Antonio and his fishing. And then they fight Professor Cog for the first time.
Location: Shiba House
Time: 4:30 PM
Mentor Ji is seen polishing his bike. The rangers enter through the gate. "Who's this?" He asks. "That's what we're gonna find out." Jayden answers. They enter, and Scott comments on how they're old school. "I'll go get started on dinner." Mia hurriedly says as she rushes into the kitchen. "Don't eat what she makes." Kevin tells Ranger Red while Mike makes a barfing motion.
"Alright, Scott. Cut to the chase. Educate us." Jayden says. "Yeah, why don't you demorph and tell us about yourself? Make yourself at home while you're at it." Emily adds.
"Okay, well, in my dimension, a smart computer virus took over most of the world. It made robots to help in the destruction. We've been forced to live in a domed city to avoid the toxic atmosphere that they created. They keep infiltrating the city, but my team and I always stop them." Scott explains. "I'm here to hunt down one of his robots, Professor Cog. He plans to find a way to help robots rule my dimension and wipe out every last human being."
"He must be with Master Xandred." Jayden thinks. "Maybe. How dirty is that Sanzu River water you guys were telling me about?" Scott asks. "Don't know." Mike answers. "No living being can enter. They must become a Nighlok or be engulfed into darkness to enter." "We believe it's really polluted though. Why do you ask?" Kevin asks. "He may be asking Xandred for some of the water." Scott answers. "And to answer your question, I can't demorph."
"Why not?" Emily asks. "If I do, all the energy will deplete from my morpher, and I wouldn't be able to morph until I got to my dimension." Scott answers. "The oxygen in this dimension is safe for me to breathe though. Well, it's been a long day. Is there any place I can have some privacy?" "Yeah, there's a spare room down the hall." Jayden answers. "Thanks." Scott walks into the spare room.
Mike expresses his distrust for Scott, and Emily makes him look stupid.
Location: Sanzu River
Time: 4:10 PM
"The rangers in this dimension are tough, so I called someone in to help. Sergeant Tread!" Xandred yells. Tread arrives on the boat. "You rang?" "Go help this, uhh, robot." "Fine." "Thank you Master Xandred. With the three of us, those rangers won't stand a chance. I've got word that Venjix even had an accomplice of mine attack one now for a special purpose." Cog thanks.
"He seems to have shown some respect." Serrator whispers to Octoroo, who nods.
Location: Waterfront
Time: 4:12 PM
Antonio is grilling up his "Baby Barracuda Fish Kabobs" for the comic relief of the season, Bulk and Spike. "Hey, thanks for treating us, man." Bulk thanks. "No problem. You guys did help catch the fish, so it was the least I could do." Antonio replies. "I wonder what this will taste like." Spike wonders. "Don't worry, I've had good reviews from some of my friends." Antonio assures him.
After a few minutes, the baby barracudas are finished and served. "Gentlemen, are you ready to challenge your taste buds?" Antonio asks. "Are we ever?" They both excitedly shout. "Then get ready for a really golden meal!" They then gobble down on the deliciousness that is Baby Barracuda Fish Kabobs. "This is great!" Spike smiles. "You think so?" Antonio smiles back. "Yeah! This is a great meal!" Bulk appreciates.
They then hear some sort of mechanical whirring. They turn to see a woman with an electronic interface on her face. With her, she has about more than a dozen robots with laser blasters. The comic duo are freaked out by the sight of the robots. "Take the food and run." Antonio whispers."What about you?" Spike asks. "I'll be fine. Come back tomorrow afternoon for more fishing." Antonio answers.
"Let's roll, Spikey." Bulk says. The two run away with their meals. Once they were out of sight, Antonio asks, "Who are you supposed to be?" The woman answers, "Tenaya. Generation 15. Venjix human infiltration attack bot. I am your thoughts and minds. I am mankind's subconscious being. I am the final-" "Yeah, if you came to fight, just fight. Not talk."
"Are you a Samurai ranger?" Tenaya asks. "Maybe." Antonio answers. "Are you working with the Nighlok?" "Maybe."
"Actually, let's talk. What do you plan on doing?"
"I am here to observe the Samurai Power Rangers to see their abilities. Then, an accomplice of mine will send you, your team, and another ranger into a different dimension while he works on a secret project." She then looks up into the sky.
"What are you looking at?"
"The sky, obviously. Grinders! Go!" The Grinders charge at Antonio.
"Gold Power!" He morphs into the gold Samurai ranger, grabs LZ, and fights. He's capable of holding off the Grinders until Scott comes. "Street Saber!" The Street Saber appears. He looks to see Tenaya. "Tenaya!" She turns to see Ranger Red. "Ah, Ranger Red. How nice to see you again. And how nice for you not to see me." Tenaya taunts then disappears. "Where'd she go?" Antonio asks himself.
Scott then jumps into battle to help Antonio. He then leads the Grinders away from Antonio. "Jayden, is that a new helmet?" Antonio asks. He then turns to LightZord. "That wasn't Jayden, was it?" LZ flashes. Antonio runs after Ranger Red to see him in more action.
Location: Warehouses near the Waterfront
Time: 4:20 PM
Antonio arrives to see Scott having a 1-on-1 battle with Professor Cog. The other Samurai rangers arrive. "Antonio!" Emily shouts. "Guys, who are those guys? What's going on?" Antonio asks. "Fight first, questions later." Jayden says. "Okay!" They charge into battle to help Scott.
The battle is pretty much unchanged from the aired TV version. Cog summarizing his plan, taunting Ranger Red, the Hypno Bolts, and the Fender Vortex. Let's move the story along from when they shield Jayden and Scott.
"Fender Vortex!" Professor Cog yells. He throws a ball of purple energy at the two red rangers lying on the ground. Suddenly, the other samurai jump in to save them. "Jayden!" Emily yells. "We got this!" Kevin assures them. "It's up to you..." Mia begins. "...to school the Professor!" Mike finishes. "Now, get out of here guys!" Antonio yells.
The force of the vortex sucks the Samurai in while the reds are thrown into the water. An invisible Tenaya 15 jumps into the vortex as well. "Well, that takes care of 5 of them. The Hypno Bolts will do those red rangers good. Sergeant Tread!" Cog yells. Tread appears from a crevice. "Yo." He greets. "I took care of 5 of the Samurai rangers. I have the red rangers under my Hypno Bolt spell. That will ensure that they destroy each other." Cog explains.
"Against their will?"
"Exactly."
Location: Sanzu River
Time: 5:01 PM
The Grinders are seen pouring buckets of water into some vacuum machine. The vacuum machine is seen blowing the Sanzu water into a dimensional crack that Cog had made. "Now, with the Grinders filling up a new Venjix palace I built, both dimensions will become polluted, and robots can rule!"
A/N: With that, all the "as seen on TV" stuff is done. The next few chapters will take place in Corinth, so there's gonna be originality now. So, why was Tenaya 15 observing the Samurai's capabilities? The question will be answered sometime later in the story.
