What Power Rangers Megaforce Should Have Been.

Episode 4 - Get In Gear

We open in Corinth, where we see things have improved since Venjixs' defeat.

We pan around, seeing people enjoying their restored world. As we keep panning, a person with a familiar jacket comes into frame with the Red RPM symbol on the back.

This person turns around to reveal, former Ranger Red, Scott Truman.

Scott looks around, enjoying how much things have improved.

Suddenly, a group of kids playing with a ball catches the eye of Scott. One of the kids kicks the ball to hard, and the ball ends up next to Scott. The kid, Danny, runs over to retrieve the ball, which is picked up by Scott.

Danny: "Sorry Mr. I'm still learning how to play."

Scott: "It's cool kid."

Scott gets on one knee and explains how to properly kick the ball.

Scott: "Now look. What you want to do is place your ball where you want to strike it from. Stand behind the ball so that you are facing the target that you are aiming at. Now, take about 3 steps straight backwards. Now for the most important part. Once you are lined up behind the ball, take quick strides that are about the same size as the ones you took when walking backwards. On your last stride, you want your non kicking foot to be "planted" right next to the ball. As soon as your foot hits the ground, your kicking leg should bend at the knee. Once you have your leg back, swing it through and kick the ball."

As Danny is about to kick the ball, Scott stops him.

Scott: "You're leaning backwards. You don't want do that. That causes the ball to go higher in the air."

Danny: "That's why I missed last time."

Scott: "Exactly. Try again."

Danny follows Scott's instructions, and kicks the ball back to his friends.

Scott: "There you go! Simple as that."

Danny: "Wow! Thanks Mr."

Scott: "Please, call me Scott."

Danny: "Scott? Wait. Aren't you Ran-

Scott taps Danny on the head.

Scott: "Go play ball kid."

Danny smiles, nods, and runs back to play with his friends.

Scott smiles as he sees Danny implementing the tactics he taught him.

As Scott continues watching, a blast fires near the kids - sending Danny flying.

Scott, shocked, runs over to Danny's unconscious body.

Scott: "Danny! Danny! Come on kid! Wake up!"

Scott raises his head at a familiar maniacal laugh. Scott is shocked to see Professor Cog, with a squad of Grinders, making their way towards him. Scott stands to defend Danny, as his parents come to pick him up.

Professor Cog: "Well, if it isn't the famous Ranger Red."

Scott: "How are you here?! We destroyed you!"

Professor Cog: "If there's one thing I learned from Venjix, it's always have a back up plan. You see, I had a feeling I might be destroyed. So, while you did destroy me in that other universe, I had a back up body waiting for me in this universe."

Scott: "I turned you into scrap metal once! I'll do it again!"

Scott charges at the Grinders. Scott dodges a slash from one Grinder, than kicks another. Scott is than held down by two Grinders, but he kicks a wall, flipping him over the Grinders. Scott than sweep kicks the two Grinders. Scott is than fired at by Professor Cog, sending him through the air.

Professor Cog: "A pity you don't have your powers anymore. It's not exactly fair to crush you when you're so weak. So, to give you a chance, I'll destroy that other universe first. Than I'll come back here and finish you off!"

Professor Cog starts to walk away, as Scott trys to stand on his feet. Scott finally gets to his feet, and charges at Cog.

Scott: "No!"

Professor Cog: "You never learn do you?"

Professor Cog fires his Electro-Turbines, which sends Scott flying through the air. Scott lands and is knocked out.

Professor Cog turns and leaves for the Megaforce Ranger's universe.

We cut to Angel Grove Highschool, where our Rangers are still in class.

We cut to Ms. Appleby teaching History class.

Ms. Appleby: "Alright class. Who can tell me what the Industrial Revolution was about?"

Noah is the only one to raise his hand.

Ms. Appleby: "Yes, Noah?"

Noah: "It was a period of time where technology greatly advanced. Humanity was abandoning their old ways of doing things, and relied much more on machinery to accomplish their goals."

Ms. Appleby: "Correct. Now who can tell me what some of the setbacks are of relying more on machines to do our work, than humans."

Noah is still the only one to raise his hand.

Ms. Appleby: "Anyone else? Jake?"

Jake: "Because we rely on machines so much, they might take over the world one day."

The class laughs.

Ms. Appleby: "Hopefully it never comes to that, but no. Anyone else?"

Emma raises her hand.

Ms. Appleby: "Emma?"

Emma: "Because we'll forget how to do things for ourselves. Machines are definitely a great invention, but if we let them do everything we won't matter anymore. We'll lose who we are on the inside."

Ms. Appleby: "Well said Emma."

Emma smiles, and we cut to a field in Angel Grove. As we pan to the sky, a vortex appears. From the vortex emerges Professor Cog and his Grinders.

Professor Cog: "Finally. I'm back in this dimension, and there's nothing the Rangers can do to stop me."

Cut to the Armada's Command Ship. Cut to the inside of the bridge as we see Vrak walk in. Vrak notices Vekar conversing with their father's guards. Vrak walks over to see what the comotion's about.

Vekar: "I understand. I'll alert father right away."

Vrak stops Vekar from leaving.

Vrak: "What is it Vekar? You found something of interest?"

Vekar: "You could say that. Just take a look for yourself."

Vekar gestures Vrak to look towards a monitor. The monitor shows Professor Cog and his Grinders marching on Angel Grove.

Vrak: "Who is that?"

Vekar: "I don't know, but I know it's not one of ours. That's why I'm going to tell father about this."

Vekar is about to leave until Vrak stops him.

Vrak: "Wait. You've always wanted to prove yourself to father."

Vekar: "What's your point?"

Vrak: "Don't you see? This is your opportunity. Go down there yourself and deal with this menace."

Vekar: "Deal with him? Why shouldn't I just recruit him to help fight the Rangers?"

Vrak: "Yes, because that worked out so well last time. Come on Vekar. Show father you're more than just his son. Show him you're worthy to one day succeed him as Emperor."

Vekar: "Emperor Vekar? I like the sound of that. Very well. I shall deal with this trespasser, personally. Argus. Levira. I would like you two to accompany me to deal with this threat."

Argus: "Yes, my Prince."

Cut back to Angel Grove Highschool, as we see our Rangers coming out of the school.

Troy: "That was a pretty emotional speech you gave, Emma."

Jake: "I still think mine was better."

Gia: "Oh please. Machines taking over the world? You've been watching to many movies."

Jake: "It's true though! Noah, back me up."

Noah: "Well with the way technology's advancing today, theoretically, it could be possible."

Jake nods his head.

At this moment, Gosei contacts the Rangers through their Morphers. The group finds a private spot to answer Gosei. Troy answers his Morpher.

Troy: "What is it Gosei?"

Gosei: "Rangers, there's a disturbance downtown."

Troy: "Copy that Gosei. You ready guys?"

Everyone nods.

Troy: "It's Morphin Time!"

They all take out a blank card as their Ranger helmets appear on them. They than shove the card into their Morphers.

Troy/Emma/Jake/Gia/Noah: "Go Go Megaforce!"

They are transformed and teleported to the disturbance.

As they teleport in, they are confronted by Professor Cog and his Grinders.

Troy: "What are these things?"

Noah: "They look like...robots."

Jake: "You see! I knew it was only a matter of time."

Professor Cog: "What's this?! Another team of Rangers?"

Gia: "Well whatever they are, they'll have to get past us!"

Emma: "That's right!"

Troy: "Let's go guys!"

The Rangers charge at the Grinders, and begin to fight.

A Grinder fires at Troy, who dodges the blast. Troy slashes at a Grinder with his Dragon Sword, but his sword isn't able to cut through their armor.

Troy: "What?!"

A Grinder fires at Troy who deflects it with his Dragon Sword.

Cut over to Jake who slashes a Grinder with his Snake Axe. Again, it does nothing.

Jake: "Man, these guys got some tough armor!"

Two Grinders than hold Jake down. A Grinder is about to slash Jake, only for Noah to blast the Grinder with his Shark Bowgun. This time however, the Grinder seems to stay down.

Noah: "That's it! Guys, use your blasters to take out these pieces of junk!"

Cut over to Emma helping Gia with a fight.

Gia: "Got it Noah!"

Gia takes out her Mega Blaster, and fires at a Grinder.

Gia: "Mega Blaster!"

Emma fires at another with her Phoenix Shot.

Emma: "Phoenix Shot!"

Cut back to Troy's fight. Troy takes out his Mega Blaster, but is blasted by Professor Cog.

Emma: "Troy!"

The Rangers run over to Troy.

The remainding Grinders surround Professor Cog.

Professor Cog: "You five are really grinding my gears!"

Jake: "What's the matter? Are we to much for you?"

Professor Cog: "On the contrary, I can handle anyone of you Rangers."

Troy: "Oh yeah! Than prove it!"

Professor Cog: "It would be my pleasure."

The Rangers charge at Professor Cog.

Cut back to the Command Center.

Tensou: "Gosei!"

Gosei: "What is it Tensou?"

Tensou: "I'm detecting the same dimensional portal from earlier! It's forming again!"

Gosei: "Why would it be doing that? Unless?!

Tensou: "What?!"

Gosei: "Get a hold of the Rangers! Tell them to fall back now!"

Tensou attempts to establish communications with the Rangers.

Cut back to the fight. Professor Cog is easily able to handle the Rangers. The Rangers keep charging him, but he keeps knocking them back.

Emma: "He's to strong!"

Noah: "Maybe a Legendary Mode can even the odds."

Troy: "Good idea! Ready Guys?!"

They all hold out blank cards.

Troy/Emma/Jake/Gia/Noah: "Legendary Ranger Mode, Zeo!"

The helmets of the Zeo Rangers appear on the cards, which are than shoved into the Morphers.

Troy/Emma/Jake/Gia/Noah: "It's Morphin Time!"

They are trasnformed into the Zeo Rangers. They all take out their Zeo Laser Pistols

Troy/Emma/Jake/Gia/Noah: "Zeo Laser Pistols! Fire!"

Professor Cog blocks every blast.

Noah: "Impossible!"

Profesor Cog: "You're all pathetic!"

Gia: "We're not done yet!"

Troys: "Right! Let's use the Zeo Cannon!"

The Rangers call the Zeo Cannon to them, and place the Power Cells into the Cannon

Troy/Emma/Jake/Gia/Noah: "Zeo Power Cells! Power Up!"

Troy/Emma/Jake/Gia/Noah: "Zeo Cannon! Fully Charged!"

As the Rangers are about to fire, the vortex from earlier appears above the Rangers.

Troy stops himself from firing.

Troy: "What's that?!"

Professor Cog: "That's your flight. You better not miss it!"

The vortex sucks the Rangers into it.

Professor Cog: "So long Rangers!"

Cut back to the Command Center.

Tensou: "Gosei! I can't locate the Rangers!"

Gosei: "They must have been forced into the vortex."

Tensou: "Aye yai yai! What'll we do?"

Gosei: "Tensou, you need to get them back. Try to reopen the vortex."

Tensou: "I'll do my best."

Cut to the Rangers, who are all lying on the ground unmorphed. They look around, confused at their location.

Troy: "You guys alright?"

Emma: "Yeah. We're fine."

Jake: "Where are we?"

Noah: "I'm not sure, but I don't think we're in Angel Grove anymore."

Gia: "Guys! Look!"

The Rangers spot a person walking very slowly, who than collapses to the ground.

The Rangers run over to the person, who has a very familiar looking jacket.

Jake: "Hey! You alright?!"

The Rangers turn the person over, revealing Scott.

Emma: "He looks pretty bad."

Scott: "Hey, I'm not that bad on the eyes."

Troy: "Who did this to you?"

Scott: "It was Professor Cog. He's back."

Jake: "Who?"

Noah: "That must be the guy we were fighting earlier."

Scott: "What?"

Scott than notices their Morphers.

Scott: "You guys are Power Rangers?"

The Rangers are shocked that he knows this.

Gia: "How do you know that?"

Scott: "Because I'm one too."

The Rangers are surprised by this.

Scott: "Or, at least I was."

Scott brings himself to his feet.

Scott: "My name's Scott. Ranger Operator Series Red, or Ranger Red for short."

Scott holds out his hand and Troy shakes it.

Troy: "Nice to meet you Scott. I'm Troy. This is Emma, Gia, Noah, and Jake."

Scott nods.

Emma: "Listen. Could you show us where Angel Grove is? We don't really know where we are right now."

Scott: "Angel Grove? How did you guys get here?"

Jake: "We were fighting that Professor Cog guy."

Noah: "We were about to finish him off, but than out of nowhere this vortex appeared in the sky and sucked us all into it."

Scott: "I see. Well if you want to get back home, it's about a dimension away."

The Rangers are speechless as they find out they're in another dimension.

Cut back to Angel Grove as we see Professor Cog and his Grinders firing on random people and buildings.

Professor Cog: "Ah! Just look at all the glorious destruction."

Professor Cog's enjoyment is cut short as two of his Grinders are blasted by X-Borgs.

Professor Cog: "Who dares get in my way?

We than see Vekar, along with Levira and Argus, come in to confront Cog.

Vekar: "I dare!"

Professor Cog: "Who are you?!"

Vekar: "I am Prince Vekar. Son of Emperor Mavro. And just what are you?"

Professor Cog: "This world's destructor."

Vekar: "Oh yeah? Well get in line! My father has his sights set on destroying this planet. And I'm not gonna let some worthless piece of junk stand in his way!"

Professor Cog: "I'll show you worthless."

Vekar: "How dare you! Attack!"

The Grinders and the X-Borgs clash.

Cut back to the Rangers, who are still pondering over how they're in another dimension.

Jake: "So let me get this straight. We've been sucked into another dimension, and have no idea how to get back?!"

Scott: "No."

The Rangers look to Scott in confusion.

Scott: "I think I know someone who can help."

Cut to the Command Garage.

Scott: "Dr. K? Are you here?"

Dr. K: "Where else would I be Scott?"

Scott: "I don't know. Hanging with Ziggy."

Dr. K: "Hmph. And who are these people?"

Scott: "They're Power Rangers from another dimension."

Dr. K: "Like those Samurai Rangers?"

Scott: "Yeah."

Dr. K: "Prove you're Rangers. Let me see your Morphers."

The Rangers hold out their Morphers. Dr. K takes Jake's Morpher and inspects it. She opens the compartment where the cards are shoved into.

Dr. K: "What are these for?"

Noah: "We place cards into them to Morph into Rangers.

Dr. K: "So, your Morphers are giant tiki heads that you shove trading cards into?"

The Rangers nod.

Dr. K: "Creative."

Dr. K throws Jake's Morpher back to him, who struggles to catch it.

Emma: "We can also Morph into any Power Ranger that came before us."

Dr. K: "So you've been using my stuff without permission?!"

Dr. K seems ready to lunge at the Rangers until Scott stops her.

Scott: "Easy Doc."

Dr. K: "Why are they even here?!"

Troy: "We're just trying to get back to our dimension, so we can stop Professor Cog. Scott seemed to think you might know how to send us back."

Dr. K: "I thought you said you destroyed Professor Cog."

Scott: "So did I, but it turns out he had a back up plan."

Dr. K: "Fine. I'll help on one condition."

Gia: "What's that?"

Dr. K: "Destroy Professor Cog for good this time."

Troy: "I think we can get behind that."

Dr. K: "Good."

Cut back to the fight between the Grinders and the X-Borgs. Levira uses her whip to destroy a bunch of Grinders. Argus shoots another few Grinders. Vekar is being held back by two Grinders. We than see a massive amount of both forces struggling with eachother.

Professor Cog: "These guys aren't half bad. I wonder why they haven't destroyed those Rangers yet. They're probably just to incompetent to finish them off."

Vekar: "You take that back!"

Cut back to the Command Center.

Gosei: "Tensou, what's the progress on the vortex?"

Tensou: "I'm trying. I just can't seem to get a lock on -

At this moment the vortex starts to open again.

Gosei: "Good work Tensou!"

Tensou: "It...it wasn't me."

We cut to the fight between the X-Borgs and Grinders as the vortex opens above. The Rangers come through the vortex, already Morphed, and land in front of the two forces.

Professor Cog: "But how?!"

Emma: "You overlooked one thing Professor Cog. Never underestimate Dr. K!"

Vekar: "Rangers?! We need to fall back!"

Professor Cog: "Wait! If we combine our forces, we can defeat them together."

Vekar: "You can do that! I'll leave that honor to my father."

Vekar, Levira, and Argus teleport back to the Command Ship. Leaving Professor Cog, and the remaining X-Borgs and Grinders to fight the Rangers.

Troy: "Looks like it's just us now."

Professor Cog: "You think I'm scared of you?"

Troy: "You might be scared of this!"

The Rangers all hold up a blank card.

Troy/Emma/Jake/Gia/Noah: "Legendary Ranger Mode, RPM!"

The helmets of the RPM Rangers appear on each of the cards.

Troy/Emma/Jake/Gia/Noah: "RPM! Get In Gear!"

The Rangers are transformed into the RPM Rangers.

Troy/Emma/Jake/Gia/Noah: "Power Rangers RPM!"

Professor Cog: "Get them!"

The Grinders and X-Borgs charge at the Rangers, who do the same in return.

The Rangers clash with the two forces, than we break out into single fights starting with Troy. Troy blocks a slash from a Grinder with his fist. He than punches that X-Borg, kicks another, than roundhouse kicks another one. Cut to Noah's fight. Noah punches a Grinder in the chest, kicks an X-Borg in the chest, than punches two Grinders into barrels. Cut to Gia's fight. Gia kicks a Grinder in the face, kicks another one in the chest, than bounces off that Grinder to punch an X-Borg in the chest. Cut to Emma's fight. Emma sweep kicks a Grinder, kicks another in the chest, than kicks another Grinder, than an X-Borg. Cut to Jake's fight. Jake is hit on the head by a Grinder, than a Grinder and an X-Borg throw ropes at Jake, which Jake catches. The Grinders and X-Borgs than drag Jake towards them well others try to strike Jake.

Jake: "A little help here!'

Troy than jumps into the air with his Street Saber and cuts the ropes.

Jake: "Thanks!"

Troy: "No problem!"

Jake than kicks two Grinders two the ground, while Troy finishes off the remainng Grinders and X-Borgs with his Street Saber.

The Rangers all come together to confront Professor Cog.

Jake: "It's just down to you now Professor Cog!"

Professor Cog: "To bad for you! That's all I need!"

Cog fires his Electro-Turbines at the Rangers, knocking them to the ground.

Professor Cog: "It's over!"

Noah: "Not yet! Turbo Cannon!"

Noah stands up with his Turbo Cannon and starts firing at Cog. Emma does the same, firing at Cog with her Rocket Blaster.

Emma: "Rocket Blaster!"

Gia than stands up, and fires her Zip Charger at Cog.

Gia: "Zip Charger!"

Troy and Jake stand up with their Street Saber and Turbo Axe.

Troy: "Street Saber!"

Jake: "Turbo Axe!"

Professor Cog: "No!"

The two strike Professor Cog, who goes flying through the air and lands on the ground.

The Rangers morph back to their regular suits.

Troy: "Had enough?!"

Professor Cog: "I'm just getting started!"

Professor Cog than grows giant size, forcing the Rangers to call their Megazord together. The Rangers raise their hands to the air.

Troy/Emma/Jake/Gia/Noah: "We need Gosei Megazord Power Now!"

The Zords emerge from the Command Center, than combine to form the Gosei Great Megazord.

Troy/Emma/Jake/Gia/Noah: "Gosei Great Megazord, online!"

Professor Cog: "We'll see how "great" your piece of junk is, when I blow it out of existence!"

Cog fires his Electro-Turbines at the Megazord, which takes some damage, but is eventually able to reach Cog. The Megazord slashes Cog a few times until the Rangers decide to bring the Zord's finisher down on Cog.

Troy/Emma/Jake/Gia/Noah: "Mega Strike!"

The strike hits Cog, but he's still standing.

Noah: "He's still standing!"

Troy: "He won't be for much longer! Ready Guys?!"

The Ranger all take out a blank card.

Troy/Emma/Jake/Gia/Noah: "Legendary Ranger Mode, RPM!"

The Rangers are transformed into the RPM Rangers, while the Zord is transformed into the Zenith Megazord.

Troy/Emma/Jake/Gia/Noah: "Zenith Megazord, online!"

Noah: "Engine Cell, Activate!"

Troy: "Target locked!"

Troy/Emma/Jake/Gia/Noah: "Fire!"

The Zenith Zord fires at Professor Cog, and he's destroyed.

Close out scene with shot of Zenith Zord.

Cut to the Bridge of the Armada's Command Ship. Vekar is discussing today's events with Argus and Levira.

Vekar: "That's the last time I listen to Vrak! I could've been destroyed down there!"

Levira: "Maybe that was his plan?"

Vekar: "Nonsense! Vrak and I may not see eye to eye, but he couldn't despise me enough to send his own brother to his doom."

As the three walk in, they are greeted by Emperor Mavro with Vrak at his side.

Vekar: "Father?!"

Emperor Mavro: "Vekar! How dare you go behind my back!"

Vekar: "What do you mean father?!"

Emperor Mavro: "You know exactly what I mean! Why didn't you report to me when you found out that this...Professor Cog was attacking the Rangers?!"

Vekar: "Well, Vrak told me to handle it myself."

Emperor Mavro: "What are you talking about?! Vrak reported to me the instant he found out about it!"

Vekar: "What?!"

Emperor Mavro: "He said you wanted to take the glory by destroying the Rangers yourself! That honor belongs to me! Not only that, but you fought a potential ally who could've helped us destroy the Rangers! All because you wanted to prove something. Well you did! You proved you're an incompetent child who will never amount to anything!"

Vekar looks down to the floor, ashamed of his father's cruel words.

Emperor Mavro: "Now get out of my sight."

Vekar proceeds to leave, but stops to look at Vrak.

Vekar: "This isn't over...brother."

Vekar leaves the room.

Cut back to the Command Center.

Gosei: "Rangers, I am relieved to see that you made it back."

Emma: "You can thank Dr. K for that."

The other Rangers agree.

Gosei: "I am very proud of you Rangers. Even under the toughest of circumstances, you pulled through. You rose to the occassion and protected the Earth once again. We are all very greatful to have you as Earth's defenders. May the Power protect you, always!"

Jake: "Well I say we've had a pretty long day! Who's up for a trip to the Juice Bar?!"

The Rangers all agree and head out, leaving Gosei laughing.

Cut back to Corinth as we see Scott visiting Danny in the hospital.

Scott walks into Danny's room with a present in his hand.

Scott: "Hey! You're alright!"

Danny: "Thanks to you."

Scott: "No don't thank me. Thank the Power Rangers."

Danny smiles, than notices the present Scott brought with him.

Danny: "What's that?!"

Scott: "A present."

Danny: "For me?!"

Scott: "Yeah!"

Scott gives the present to Danny, who hastens to open it. Danny opens it revealing an RPM necklace.(Similar to the one Scott gave to Jayden to deflect Scott's blast in "Clash of the Red Rangers.")

Danny: "Wow! It's so cool!"

Scott: "It was my brother's. You take good care of it, and it'll take good care of you."

Danny: "I will! Thanks!"

Our episode ends with a freeze frame of Danny hugging Scott.

(And so another episode comes to a close. If you liked this episode, please stick with me for another 16 episodes of the series Power Ranger fans deserved.)
