Uniting the Five Elements!
Bryan is standing in Nathan's backyard with his eyes closed. Nathan is standing behind him, while Ayumi, Adrian, Allison and Nicole all watch. "Relax your mind." Nathan says. "Let it sink deep within the ground. Feel the rocks and stones beneath the Earth, and call to them." Bryan continues to meditate calmly. "Now summon rocks to hit the target." Nathan says.
Bryan opens his eyes and brings his hands up. Several jagged rocks suddenly spring up from the ground and fly at a target Nathan set up in front of Bryan. They hit the target, but fail to knock it down. Bryan groans in frustration, but Nathan smiles. "Not bad for your first try Bryan." he says. "Just keep practicing on concentration, and pretty soon you'll be lifting whole stone pillars from the ground." Bryan smiles. "You really think so?" he asks. "I know you will." Nathan says confidently.
Nathan turns to the other Rangers. "All of you need to practice hard." he says. "Before long, you may be forced into positions where combining your Millennium Powers will be necessary." "We can combine our powers?" Allison asks. Nathan nods. "The elements of the Millennium have many different combinations." he says. "And should your powers be developed to their full potential, you can all combine your powers to summon the Millennium itself. And when that happens, miracles can happen."
"Well," Adrian says, "I doubt we'll ever be able to do that. Not with Chris still rejecting us." "Yeah." Bryan says. "He's a real jerk." Nathan chuckles. "Chris can be a little blunt at times." he says. "But he means well in the end." "Well he's definitely not the nicest guy in the world." Allison says. "Just give him his space for now." Nathan says. "Pretty soon he'll accept you guys. I know he will." Ayumi nods, but the Rangers themselves look doubtful.
Chris is at the park, dressed in his karate uniform as he is practicing.
At the Hell Palace, the four Daemonium Nobles are meeting in the main hall as they view a recording of the four Rangers defeating Blattoxer. "I apologize for this failure Lord Desolous." Talon says. Desolous growls. "Failure is not acceptable!" he says angrily.
Barbarus steps forward. "My Lord," he says, "if I may, I have a suggestion for our next move." Desolous turns to Barbarus. "Proceed." he says. "You may have noticed that these Rangers are not exactly working well together." Barbarus says. "Against Weevil, there were only three of them and against Blattoxer, there were only four." "What's your point?" Desolous asks. "The Red Ranger is the only one that hasn't joined the others." Barbarus says. "Unless all five of them work together, the Rangers can't fight to their full power." "So what is your suggestion then?" Desolous ask. "I say we destroy the Red Ranger while he's still all by himself." Barbarus says. "We can weaken the Rangers while they're still divided. Then defeating them will be easy!"
Desolous nods. "An excellent suggestion Barbarus." he says. "Very well. You may carry out this plan of yours." Barbarus clenches his fists in excitement. "Yes!" he says. "Thank you Lord Desolous!" He turns around and chuckles to himself. "This is my chance to get a taste of the Red Ranger for myself!" he says.
At Howlett Manor, Nathan is in his office as he is going over more papers from Howlett Enterprises. Ayumi suddenly walks in. "Nathan!" she says. "I have fantastic news!" Nathan looks up, taking his glasses off. "What's up?" he asks. Ayumi holds up two new Millennium Discs, both of which look different from the Rangers'. "Howlett Enterprises has finally finished developing these two new combination discs!" she says as she puts them on Nathan's desk. Nathan's eyes light up as he smiles. "Excellent!" he says. "How soon can the Rangers use them?" "Well," Ayumi says, "we should probably test it first. But that'll be difficult as long as the Rangers aren't actually working together." Nathan leans back in his chair. "Oh that's right." he says.
"What do we do then?" Ayumi asks. Nathan smiles again. "Just give it time." he says. "It won't be long until the Rangers come together. I can feel it." Ayumi smiles back at him. "Well you haven't been wrong so far." she says. "So I trust you." The two laugh.
At the Hell Palace, Barbarus is meeting with an armored grasshopper-like monster. The monster is heavily clad in dark-green armor, featuring spikes over his legs and knuckles. "Our mission is to destroy the Red Ranger!" Barbarus says. "And you're going to assist me Spikehopper!" Spikehopper nods. "Yes General Desolous!" he says.
Civilians run away in shock as Barbarus and Spikehopper walk through the city. "Red Ranger!" Barbarus says. "Come out, come out, wherever you are!"
"Hey!" Adrian's voice says. "Huh?" Barbarus says. Adrian, Nicole, Bryan and Allison run up, already Morphed, and they stand in the two's way. "Looking for us?" Bryan says. Barbarus laughs. "Not exactly!" he says. He turns to Spikehopper. "Deal with them would you?" he asks
Spikehopper nods and charges forward, engaging the four in close combat. As Barbarus watches, Chris walks up behind him, already Morphed. "Someone call me?" he asks.
Barbarus laughs as he turns around. "Red Ranger!" he says. "At last we meet!" "Who are you?" Chris asks. "I am General Barbarus!" Barbarus says. "Hand to the High Priest Lord Desolous! For years I've looked for an opponent I could call worthy, and your skills have peaked my interest!" Barbarus draws his sword, pointing it at Chris. "I challenge you!" he says.
As Chris sees Barbarus' sword, he suddenly gasps.
Chris thinks back, remembering seeing his girlfriend being stabbed to death by an unseen monster. Chris remembers seeing only the tip of the blade, which looks exactly like Barbarus' sword.
"That sword." Chris thinks to himself. "Could this be the guy!" "So what's it going to be Red Ranger?" Barbarus asks.
Chris takes out one of his Millennium Discs and holds it out, his Magma Rod appearing in his hand.
The two charge at each other and engage in close combat. Chris wields his rod with both hands, and attacks Barbarus with a barrage of quick slashes, but Barbarus manages to parry all of them.
Meanwhile, the other four Rangers struggle against Spikehopper, who slashes all four of them to the ground. Nicole quickly recovers and summons her Earthquake Hammer. "Earthquake Hammer!" she says, and she flings her weapon at Spikehopper. But the monster quickly grabs her weapon by the chain. "Huh?" Nicole says, and Spikehopper quickly flings Nicole around. Nicole groans as she gets knocked into a pile of plastic crates.
"Nicole!" Allison says, and the three other Rangers attempt to rush to her, but Spikehopper quickly turns around and hits the three with an energy blast, knocking them all off their feet again.
Nicole gasps. "Guys!" she says. Then she turns to her side where she sees Chris struggling against Barbarus.
Barbarus slashes Chris across the chest and knocks him back. He rushes at Chris to attack him again, but Chris quickly slashes his Rod upward in a surprise attack and knocks the monster back. Barbarus responds as he turns back and holds his hand up, firing an energy blast at Chris as he attempts to charge forward. Chris takes the hit and gets knocked off his feet, falling on his back.
"Chris!" Nicole says, and she rushes toward Barbarus as he attempts to move toward Chris.
Barbarus raises his sword, ready to attack Chris again, but Nicoke quickly grabs his arm before he can attack. "Stop!" she says. Barbarus growls as he pushes Nicole off him. "Get out of the way!" he says. Nicole gets knocked on her back and groans in pain as she struggles to get up.
Chris gets to his feet, holding his Magma Rod up, ready to continue fighting. Barbarus laughs. "Not giving up so easily!" he says. "I like it! I haven't had this much fun since I killed that woman!"
Chris gasps as he lowers his staff. "What did you say?" he says.
"Oh yes!" Barbarus says. "I remember that time. I had just been revived by Desolous, and he immediately let me into the human world, free to kill as many humans as I wished. Then I found this couple running away from me and I killed the woman. The feeling of woe and sadness in the air was amazing!"
Chris clenches his fist in anger. He once again flashes back to seeing his girlfriend get stabbed to death before snapping back. "So it was you!" he says. "Huh?" Barbarus says.
"You killed my girlfriend!" Chris says. He quickly draws his Millennium Blaster and angrily growls in insane fury as he starts firing mindlessly at Barbarus. Barbarus deflects all the bolts, and Chris charges at him.
Nicole gets to her feet, watching the fight.
Chris starts recklessly swinging his Magma Rod at Barbarus with his right hand. Barbarus rather effortlessly blocks each attack. He laughs to himself. "Such rage!" he says. "I like it!" "SHUT UP!" Chris says, and he continues to angrily slash at Barbarus. Barbarus knocks Chris off-guard, and slashes him several times across the chest. Then he energizes his sword as its blade glows red with energy, and he slashes Chris in a powerful attack.
Chris is quickly blown away from the force, dropping both his weapons and falling on his back.
"Chris!" Nicole says, and she rushes to his side. "Are you okay?" she asks, trying to help him up. Chris groans, but then pushes her away. "Get away from me!" Chris says.
Barbarus fires another energy blast at the two Rangers, who quickly get blown away from the force. This time, the two drop out of Morph from the force of the blast, both groaning in pain as they try to get up.
Barbarus laughs. "I think I've had enough fun for now." he says. He turns to Spikehopper.
Adrian, Allison and Bryan are all knocked back as Spikehopper slashes them again. "Spikehopper!" Barbarus says, and the monster turns around to face him. "Let's get out of here!" Barbarus says. "Yes General!" Spiekhopper says, and the two hold their arms out as they teleport away.
Chris groans as he finally gets to his feet. He groans in frustration. Nicole gets up and puts her hand on her shoulder. "You okay?" she asks. Chris swats her hand away. "Don't touch me!" he says. "I don't need your help."
The other Rangers walk up. "Obviously you do." Adrian says. "That guy would have annihilated you if Nicole hadn't stepped in." Chris just ignores Adrian and pushes past the other Rangers, walking off. "What's your problem?" Bryan asks. Chris turns back to face them as he stops. "Just leave me alone." he says. "And stay out of my way next time that monster attacks. He's mine!" He turns around and walks off.
"That guy is mean." Bryan says. "Yeah but a lot more than usual." Allison says. "What's with him?" "Who knows?" Adrian says.
Nicole starts to walk away. "Where are you going Nicole?" Adrian asks. Nicole turns back. "Oh." she says. "I'm going to see Nathan. Tell him about the attack." "Good idea." Bryan says. "Everyone stay in touch." Adrian says. "And stay sharp." Everyone nods, and walks off.
At Howlett Manor, Nicole is meeting with Nathan, sitting down opposite him in his office. "Chris said something about one of the monsters killing his girlfriend." Nicole says. "Do you know anything about it?" Nathan shakes his head. "No." he says. "Chris has always been incredibly distant. Even when I was originally training him, he refused to open up to me." Nicole nods. "I see." she says.
"Why this sudden curiosity?" Nathan asks. "I'm just worried about him." Nicole says. "What if he gets himself hurt or even killed by just charging in at that monster again?" Nathan nods. "It is quite worrisome." he says. "My suggestion is to that you give him his space for now. But if he starts to do something that scares you, don't be afraid to step in." Nicole nods. "Thank you Nathan." she says.
At the Hell Palace, Barbarus is practicing in his personal quarters. He is slashing his sword through the air in fast movements. He sighs as he stops, holding his sword in front of his face. "For years I've slaughtered pathetic humans and left many dead in my path." he says. "But now I think I may have found a person worth fighting." He laughs to himself.
Spikehopper walks into Barbarus' quarters. "You requested my presence?" he asks. Barbarus looks back at him. "Yes." he says. "This time I want you to attack separate from me. You keep the other four Rangers distracted, and leave the red one to me!" Spikehopper nods. "Yes General!" he says.
Civilians all run away in horror as Spikehopper walks through the city with a large horde of Arachnodrones around him.
"Hey Spikehopper!" Adrian's voice calls out. "Huh?" Spikehopper says, and he turns to his side to see Adrian, Bryan and Allison all run up, all three already Morphed. Spikehopper laughs as he points forward. "Get them!" he says. The three Rangers quickly summon their weapons and charge forward.
Adrian launches himself forward and holds his arms out as he glides toward several Arachnodrones. He pushes his arms forward, slashing down several enemies around him as he lands on the ground.
Allison holds up her Hydro Shield, then tosses it forward. Spinning around, her Hydro Shield slashes through several Arachnodrones, then comes back to Allison.
Bryan flips over the back of one of the Arachnodrones. Moving fast, he blocks several blows with his Boulder Blades, knocking off several attackers off guard and slashing them down.
Adrian quickly slashes through two more Arachnodrones and launches himself at Spikehopper, engaging him in close combat.
As the three Rangers fight Spikehopper and the Arachnodrones, Barbarus watches from a distance. "This is working perfectly." he says. "Spikehopper handles those other four, and the Red Ranger is mine to crush slowly!"
Barbarus laughs, but he is soon stopped as he is barraged with laser fire from behind. He groans as he is hit, then turns around. "Huh?" he says. Chris is running toward Barbarus with his Magma Rod and Millennium Blaster drawn. He growls in fury as he attacks him.
Barbarus gasps as he draws his sword, quickly put on the defense as Chris slashes at him mindlessly with his Magma Rod. Barbarus quickly gains his form and knocks Chris off-guard. He kicks Chris' left hand, knocking his Millennium Blaster away, then slashes him across the chest. Chris groans as he is forced back, but he quickly recovers and keeps on his attack. Barbarus continues to parry his attacks, and the two lock weapons. He laughs.
Adrian slashes Spikehopper across the chest, but two Arachnodrones come in and attack him. Adrian slashes through both of them, and attempts to attack Spikehopper again.
At Howlett Manor, Adrian's voice comes in over Ayumi's computer. "Ayumi!" Adrian says. "Contact Nicole! We need her help." Communicating through a wireless headset, Ayumi nods. "Got it Adrian." she says.
Nicole walks out of a store when her Morpher goes off. She looks around, then walks into a hidden alley where no one can see her. She holds her Morpher up to her mouth. "Yes Ayumi?" she says. "There's a monster attack at the lower eastern side." Ayumi says. "The others are already there. They need you." Nicole nods. "On my way!" she says, then she runs off.
Chris groans as he is pushed back again by Barbarus. Barbarus laughs. "You are strong." he says. "But this mindless rage prevents you from bringing out your full potential." Chris growls. "Shut up!" he says. "I'm going to kill you!" Barbarus laughs. "Try me." he says.
Chris brandishes his Magma Rod and growls as he charges forward. As he nears Barbarus, he slashes his Magma Rod at him, but Barbarus knocks him off-guard and slashes him in the back.
Nicole is running toward the Rangers' fight, already Morphed, when she turns around to see Barbarus and Chris fighting. "Huh?" she says.
Chris turns around, attempting to respond, but Barbarus quickly slashes his sword at Chris again. Chris groans as he is forced back, and he drops his Magma Rod. With his sword glowing, Barbarus sends an energy slash at Chris, who groans as he gets hit and is blown back. He hits a stone pillar, and drops out of Morph before he hits the ground, lying unconscious and his body maimed.
Nicole gasps. "Chris!" he says.
Barbarus sighs. "Too easy." he says. "Ah well, just another human to kill then." He raises his sword, ready to kill Chris, but before he can, Nicole's Earthquake Hammer comes out of nowhere and wraps around his sword-arm. "Huh?" he says.
Nicole has flung her Earthquake Hammer at Barbarus, using it to hold him back. "Get away from him!" Nicole says. "Back off pinkie!" Barbarus says. "You're not my opponent!"
Nicole struggles as she tries to hold Barbarus down with her Earthquake Hammer, while the monster pulls on the chain, trying to pull Nicole over to him. Thinking fast, Nicole draws her Millennium Blaster and fires it at Barbarus. Taken by surprise, Barbarus is hit with a barrage of laser fire and backs up. Nicole retracts the chain of her Earthquake Hammer and rushes toward Barbarus, punching him with the hammer part of her weapon and knocking him back. Nicole then moves toward Chris, hoisting him up and putting his left arm over her shoulders. "Hey!" Barbarus says, but Nicole fires her Millennium Blaster at the ground several times. With Barbarus temporarily stunned, Nicole turns around and rushes off.
Barbarus growls as he recovers and looks around, Nicole and Chris nowhere in sight. "Where did they go?" he says. He groans in fury.
Back at the fight, Spikehopper fires an energy blast the three Rangers, who all groan as they are blown back by the force. "Fight back guys." Adrian says. "Blasters! Fire!"
The three Rangers draw their Millennium Blasters and open fire at Spikehopper, who is overwhelmed by the blaster fire and gets knocked back. The three Rangers stand over their opponent, who struggles to his feet. He groans. "I'll be back for the final round!" he says. He holds his arms out as he teleports away.
The three Rangers de-morph. "Everyone okay?" Adrian asks. Allison and Bryan nod. "But where's Nicole?" Allison asks. "I don't know." Bryan says. "Maybe Nathan knows." Adrian nods. "Let's go talk with him." he says. The three walk off.
At Nicole's house, Chris is lying down on her bed in her bedroom. Nicole has bandaged a wound on his arm, and she is wiping another wound on his head. She smiles a bit, but then Chris wakes up with a start. As Nicole still tries to tend to his wounds, he angrily smacks her hand away. "Get off me!" he says. Nicole gasps as Chris gets up, groaning as he clutches his arm in pain. "Are you okay?" Nicole asks. Chris just glares at her. "What did I tell you?" he says. "Just leave me alone!"
Chris gets up, storming out of Nicole's room. Nicole rushes after him. "Where are you going?" she asks. "To find that monster again." Chris says. He starts to walk out the door, but Nicole stops him, shutting the door. "No." she says. "Not in your condition." Chris rolls his eyes. "I'm a big boy Nicole." he says. "I don't need your advice. I can take care of myself." "You were almost killed by Barbarus." Nicole says. "Two times in a row I've had to bail you out." Chris rolls his eyes and turns around, sighing. "What's your problem?" Nicole asks. "Why do you have to be such a jerk?" Chris turns back to Nicole. "Shut up." he says. "You don't know anything about me."
"You mean like that monster killing your girlfriend?" Nicole asks. Chris looks at Nicole in shock. "How do you know that?" he asks. "I heard what you said back there." Nicole says. "Now tell me what's going on." Chris sighs.
As Chris talks with Nicole, several flashes of his past are shown over his speech. "Elisa and I met in college." Chris says. "The first time I ever saw her, it was like time stopped." As he says this, Chris is shown sitting in a seat, waiting for class to start when Elisa walks in. He looks at her with a dumbfounded look on his face, admiring her beauty.
"I was kind of awkward asking her out at first." Chris continues, "But amazingly she said yes. I still remember our first date." As Chris says this, he and Elisa are shown happily strolling through the city, seeing sights and visiting several stores. They sit down at a Japanese Restaurant for dinner, both smiling at each other as they eat.
"We were together for a year." Chris says. "It was the most wonderful time of my life." As he says this, Chris and Elisa are shown standing hand-in-hand, smiling at each other.
"Then that horrible night happened." Chris says. "Barbarus attacked. I tried everything to keep Elisa safe, but in the end, that monster got her." As he says this, the flashback of Chris and Elisa running away only for Barbarus to catch her and stab her to death is shown, followed by Chris weeping over her body.
"After that," Chris says, "all I could ever think about was finding that monster and killing him. That's when Gorignem found me." As he says this, Chris angrily sets Elisa's body down and starts walking after the monster. As he does, Gorignem appears in front of him from the darkness. Chris gasps in shock, but before he can say anything, Gorignem emits a red-colored energy blast from its mouth, which hits Chris. As the blast wears off, Chris looks himself over as he wonders what happened. Then he turns around as he hears a voice and sees Nathan and Ayumi walk up to him.
Chris finally snaps back to the present. "Nathan found me." Chris says. "And since then I've been all about finding Barbarus." He turns to Nicole. "All I care about is getting revenge on that monster." Chris says. "I don't care about anything else, I don't care about working with other people and I especially don't care about this whole team thing."
Nicole chuckles. "I see what this is all about." she says. "Huh?" Chris says. "You're afraid that you'll lose someone else important to you." Nicole says. "Therefore you shut everyone else out." Chris rolls his eyes. "You don't know what you're talking about." he says. "Yes I do." Nicole says. "Look, Elisa's death was terrible, but shutting everyone else out isn't healthy. How do you think Elisa would feel if she saw you now all miserable and sad?" Chris looks down. "We want to help you Chris." Nicole says. "But we can't if you shut us out. I know we can't replace Elisa to you, but we can still support you. Even if you somehow manage to kill Barbarus by yourself, you're never going to get anywhere by just acting alone."
Before Chris can respond, Nicole's Morpher goes off. She holds her Morpher up as Adrian's voice comes in. "Nicole!" Adrian says. "That monster is back. He's attacking the city plaza! We need your help." Nicole nods. "I'm on my way." she says. She turns to Chris and the two briefly exchange eye-contact before she walks out the door, leaving Chris to watch after her as he walks out too.
Spikehopper and another horde of Arachnodrones are running through the city. Adrian, Allison and Bryan run up, unmorphed. "Mind if we join the party?" Bryan asks. Spikehopper laughs and points forward. "Get them!" he says. The three Rangers charge forward and engage the Arachnodrones.
Allison ducks at two blows then kicks down one of the Arachnodrones before holding her arms up and blocking another blow. She pushes back on her attacker, then punches the Arachnodroe twice in the chest before turning around and roundhouse kicking three more. As another slashes at her, she grabs its arm then knees it in the chest, knocking it away.
Adrian kicks two Arachnodrones back, then as another slashes at him, he grabs it by its arm and taking control of its sword, he pulls it out of his attackers' hands, gaining a weapon. Wielding the Arachnodrones' short sword, Adrian slashes back and forth, striking down several Arachnodrones around him.
Bryan holds up his arms in a defensive position as he blocks several blows. Then he takes to the offense as he starts throwing punches and jabs. He knocks down several Arachnodrones then sweeps around, kicking down three more.
As the three Rangers come back together, Nicole runs up. "Did I miss anything?" she asks. "Not much." Bryan says. "We'd better Morph now." Allison says. "Right." Adrian says.
The four take out their Millennium Discs. Adrian holds his up. "Ready?!" he says. The other three hold up theirs. "Ready!" they say. "Millennium Power!" the four call out, and they insert their Millennium Discs into the slots on their Morphers, the computerized voices calling out. "Air Charge!" "Earth Charge!" "Stone Charge!" "Water Charge!" "Total Access!" the four call out, hitting the activation switches.
As the four Morph, their Morphing Sequences are shown one-by-one in full. They go in the order of Nicole, Adrian, Bryan and Allison.
The four Rangers stand against Spikehopper, now Morphed. They summon their Millennium Weapons and hold them out. "Let's do it!" Adrian says. The four charge forward.
Adrian and Bryan both manage to land strikes on Spikehopper as they reach him, but the monster shrugs off their attacks, punching them both down. Allison blocks an attack with her Hydro Shield, but she also gets knocked off-guard when she tries to slash at him.
Nicole makes a movement toward Spikehopper, but before she can, Barbarus comes out of nowhere and stops her in her path. Nicole gasps in shock as he stops. Barbarus draws his sword and slashes her across the chest. "You stopped me from killing my prey!" Barbarus says angrily. "So I'll kill you too!" Nicole gets to her feet and charges forward.
Chris is sitting on a park bench, thinking to himself. As he looks around, he sees adults walking together and children playing with each other. No one is alone where he is. As Chris looks down, Nicole's words echo in his head.
"We want to help you Chris. But we can't if you shut us out." ". . .you're never going to get anywhere by just acting alone."
Chris snaps back, shaking his head. Then suddenly, a ball rolls over and hits his foot. Chris looks down at it then looks up as a little girl comes over to him. "Sorry." she says. Chris scowls at the girl at first, but then he smiles. "Its okay." he says. He picks up the ball and tosses it to her. The girl smiles back and runs toward her friend, the two continuing to play. Chris looks up. "Maybe Nicole is right." he thinks to himself.
Adrian, Allison and Bryan all drop out of Morph as they take a big hit from Spikehopper and are knocked off their feet. Barbarus slashes Nicole hard and knocks her on her back, Nicole de-morphing. "Nicole!" Allison says. "Nicole!" Adrian says.
Barbarus walks up to a defenseless Nicole, growling furiously. "Die now pinkie!" he says. He raises his sword, ready to finish her off, but he is stopped as he gets barraged with laser fire. "Huh?" everyone says, and they look behind them. Chris is walking toward the fight, unmorphed but with his Millennium Blaster drawn.
"Red Ranger!" Barbarus says. "Excellent!" Chris fires more and knocks Barbarus back. "General Barbarus!" Spikehopper says, as he rushes to Barbarus' aid.
Nicole gets to her feet and rushes back. Chris meets with the other Rangers as they all get up too. "You alright?" Chris asks. Nicole smiles as she nods. "Yes." she says. "Thanks." The two smile at each other.
"So does this mean you'll fight with us now?" Allison asks. Chris chuckles. "Sure." he says. "But one condition." Adrian rolls his eyes. "This should be good." he says sarcastically. "None of you had better die on me." Chris says. "Or I'll kill you all." Nicole chuckles too. "We're all in this together." she says. "That means we die together." "Or we don't die at all." Allison finishes. Bryan smiles, nodding. Adrian manages a half-smile and nods too. Chris chuckles.
"Rangers!" Nathan's voice calls out, and the five turn around to see Nathan and Ayumi watching them from behind. "Take these discs!" Ayumi says, and she tosses them toward the Rangers. Chris catches one and Nicole catches the other. "Now show these guys the power of a true team of Millennium Warriors!" Nathan says excitedly.
The Rangers all nod. "Let's go guys!" Adrian says. "Right!" the others respond.
The Rangers line up in the order of Nicole, Adrian, Chris, Bryan and Allison from left to right. The five take out their Millennium Discs and hold them up at the ready. "Ready!" they call out. "Millennium Power!" The five open up the slots on their Morphers and insert the Millennium Discs. As they close them, the computerized voice calls out. "Fire Charge!" "Air Charge!" "Earth Charge!" "Stone Charge!" "Water Charge!" "Total Access!" the Rangers call out as they hit the activation switches.
Theme music plays as the Rangers' full Morphing Sequences are shown one-by-one in the order of Chris, Adrian, Nicole, Bryan and then Allison.
As the Rangers finish Morphing, they jump forward, landing on top of a building. They then enter roll call.
"The Burning Passion of Fire!" Chris says. "Red Millennium Ranger! Chris!"
"The Howling Spirit of the Air!" Adrian says. "Green Millennium Ranger! Adrian!"
"The Calming Will of the Earth!" Nicole says. "Pink Millennium Ranger! Nicole!"
"The Empowering Strength of Stone!" Bryan says. "Yellow Millennium Ranger! Bryan!"
"The Soothing Grace of Water!" Allison says. "Blue Millennium Ranger! Allison!"
The five Rangers all hold out their hands. "The Power of the Millennium will lead us to victory!" they call out. "Power Rangers. . ." As they strike the final pose, a huge explosion erupts behind them and they call out "Millennium Warriors!"
Barbarus growls as he points forward. "Attack!" he says. He, Spikehopper and the Arachnodrones charge forward.
The Rangers all summon their Millennium Weapons and jump forward, engaging the forces.
Bryan sweeps past several Arachnodrones, slashing back and forth with his Boulder Blades. He strikes down all opponents around him, then he energizes his Boulder Blades, which glow yellow with energy, as he sends two energy slashes at the remaining Arachnodrones, destroying them all.
Adrian and Allison both attack Spikehopper as they charge forward. Allison throws her Hydro Shield at the monster with its blades already extended. Spikehopper groans as he takes the hits, and Adrian jumps forward, holding his arms out as he glides forward and he pushes his arms forward, slashing Spikehopper as he passes. Spikehopper groans, then the two Stanton siblings turn toward the monster. Adrian holds out his hands, firing a gust of wind at the monster, while Allison shoots a jet of water at the monster, the two attacks hitting the monster and blowing him away.
"I'll destroy you both!" Barbarus says, and he sends an energy slash forward as he slashes his sword forward. Chris and Nicole both jump forward, dodging the attack. Then they land on the ground and engage Barbarus in close combat, the two ducking at blows from Barbarus and each slashing at him with their weapons.
Nicole flings her Earthquake Hammer at Barbarus, using the chain to wrap around Barbarus. Chris then charges forward, the blade on his Magma Rod glowing red with energy as he charges it, and he slashes Barbarus. Barbarus groans as he is knocked off his feet, the two Rangers standing against him as he struggles to get up.
Barbarus growls at the two Rangers. "This isn't over!" he says. "You will fall to me Red Ranger! One day!" He turns around in a huff and disappears as he vanishes.
Chris groans as he slams his foot down on the ground. "Damn!" he says. "He got away." Nicole puts her hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry." she says. "We'll him next time." Chris turns to her and nods.
Adrian, Allison and Bryan all groan as they are all blown away from an energy blast from Spikehopper. Chris and Nicole run up to them, helping them up. "You guys okay?" Nicole asks. "Yeah." Allison says. "This guy is tough!" Bryan says. "What can we do?"
"Rangers!" Nathan's voice says, and the five turn around to see Nathan and Ayumi run up behind them. "Use that Millennium Disc I just gave you Chris." Ayumi says. "Combine your weapons!"
"Hey!" Nicole says. "That may work! Let's do it!" "Right!" the others respond.
The Rangers move toward combining their weapons. Bryan's two Boulder Blades are placed on opposite sides of the top of Chris' Magma Rod. Adrian then places his Aero Sword on the top, the handle going in the gap in-between Bryan's Boulder Blades. Allison attaches her Hydro Shield to the front, while Nicole attaches her Earthquake Hammer on the opposite side. With this, the Rangers' have created a large spear-like weapon by combining their weapons.
Chris holds up the new spear weapon, the other Rangers standing behind him. Chris inserts the special Millennium Disc into the slot on Nicole's Earthquake Hammer, charging it up. "Millennium Striker!" Chris calls out. "Elemental Strike!"
The Millennium Striker glows with energy as it charges up, and Chris charges forward. The other four Rangers hold their arms together as Chris launches himself forward. The Rangers use their arms to launch Chris upward, and he throws the Millennium Striker forward. The weapon strikes Spikehopper and pierces through his body.
As Chris lands, he catches the Millennium Striker, and the Rangers all turn around, posing at their victory as Spikehopper falls backwards and vanishes in a fiery explosion.
Nathan and Ayumi smile as they both look on.
Vendettor appears out of nowhere just behind the Rangers, who gasp as they see the monster, striking fighting poses.
Vendettor walks up to Spikehopper's fallen body and holds up his sword as he draws his. His sword crackles with energy as he stabs Spikehopper, who quickly reanimates as his body enlarges.
The Rangers gasp as they look up, the monster firing an energy blast at them. The Rangers are all knocked off their feet, groaning in pain.
Vendettor laughs and turns around, vanishing as he teleports away.
The Rangers get to their feet. "These guys just don't learn!" Bryan says. "Let's go!" Chris steps forward. "No." he says. "Let me handle him!"
Chris takes out one of his Millennium Discs. "Gorignem!" he says.
Gorignem roars as it arrives in the city, running fast and beating its chest as it stops in the city.
Chris runs forward and jumps up, vanishing into the head of Gorignem.
As Chris merges with his Millennium Beast, he appears in a red-lighted cockpit with a control pod on it. "Let's go Gorignem!" he says.
Gorignem roars as it charges forward at Spikehopper. "Take this!" Chris says, and Gorignem runs at Spikehopper, throwing rapid punches at the monster and knocking it back. "Fire Blast attack!" Chris says, pushing forward on his pod. Gorignem opens its mouth and releases a massive blast of fire from it, which hits Spikehopper and knocks him off his feet. Gorignem beats its chest again in victory.
Spikehopper growls as he gets to his feet. "I won't be beaten so easily!" he says and he fires an energy blast at Gorignem who gets blown back from the force. "Whoa!" Chris says as his cockpit shutters violently.
Gorignem groans as it falls on its back.
"Chris!" Nicole's voice says. "Huh?" Chris says, looking around. Rhypier and Elephantis both walk up to Gorignem, Hydrus coming in on the opposite side and Falcarai hovers above. "You're not working alone anymore Chris." Allison says. "Remember that." Chris nods. "Right." he says. "Let's take him together."
Ayumi's face appears on the Nicole's control pod. "Nicole." she says. "Do you still have that Millennium Disc I gave you?" Nicole holds it up. "Yes." she says. "Well I was hoping to test it first, but I don't think we have time now." Ayumi says. "Insert it into your control pod. It will allow you to combine all of your Millennium Beasts together." "Wait seriously?" Bryan asks. "No way." Adrian says. "That sounds awesome!" Allison says. "But will it work?" "Well there's only one way to find out." Nicole says. "Here goes nothing!"
Nicole inserts the other special Millnnium Disc into the slot on her control pod. "Let's go guys!" she says. "Millennium Beasts combine!" the Rangers all say.
The five Millennium Beasts charge forward together as they begin sequencing. Gorignem starts the sequence as it forms a chest and shoulders, its own head folding over the front of its chest, its arms fold up as shoulders with pegs sticking out of them, and its legs fold up into its back. Next up, Hydrus forms the legs, waist and feet as its body twists around, its head and tail forming feet while its body twists around to become the waist and legs. It then attaches under Gorignem. Rhypier and Elephantis come next as they charge forward. Their heads fold over their backs leaving open slots from which hands appear. They then attach to the pegs on Gorignem to become arms with Rhypier forming the right arm and Elephantis the left arm. Finally, Falcarai completes the combination as it becomes a head, its wings folding into its body and a human-looking face folding out of its back. It docks within the cavity on top of Gorignem to become the head.
With this, the Millennium Beast combination has completed, the five Rangers appearing in a new white-lighted shared cockpit in the order of Nicole, Adrian, Chris, Bryan and Allison from left to fight.
The new combined form of the Millennium Beast poses as the Rangers call out "Millennium Megazord!"
As the Megazord stands against Spikehopper, Nathan and Ayumi both watch with interest. Ayumi covers her mouth in shock while Nathan's eyes light up with excitement.
Spikehopper growls. "Take this!" he says. He fires several energy blasts at the Millennium Megazord, but it walks forward, unaffected by the fire as it walks right through it. Spikehopper gasps in shock.
"Double Punch!" Bryan and Nicole say together, and push forward on their pods. The Millennium Megazord throws to punch attacks at Spikehopper, knocking him back.
"Hydro Kick!" Allison says, pushing forward on her pod. This time, the Millennium Megazord roundhouse kicks at Spikehopper, its foot firing a blast of water at the monster from Hydrus' mouth. The monster groans as it takes the hit.
"Fire Power!" Chris says, pushing forward on his pod. The Millennium Megazord holds its arms out as it releases a series of fireballs from Gorignem's head on its chest. Spikehopper gets knocked off his feet as he takes the hit.
"Now let's finish this!" Adrian says. "Millennium Saber!"
A large black-colored sword appears in front of the Millennium Megazord, the Megazord grabbing it with its right arm.
"Millennium Discs!" the Rangers call out, each taking out their remaining Millennium Discs and inserting them into their control pods. "Elemental Burst!"
Theme music plays as the Millennium Megazord holds out its Millennium Saber, charging to full power. As it readies its sword, sweeping it around, the symbols of Fire, Air, Earth, Stone and Water appear behind it as it finally charges to full power. It then slashes diagonally at Spikehopper in an energized attack. Spikehopper groans as he takes the hit and turns around. The Millennium Megazord then poses at its victory as the monster vanishes in a fiery explosion.
The Rangers cheer on their victory in the cockpit. "Alright!" Allison says. "We did it!" Bryan says. "We sure did." Adrian says calmly. "Excellent job!" Nicole says. "Nice teamwork." She turns to Chris. "All of us." she says. Chris nods to her.
From below, Nathan jumps up in excitement. "Yeah!" he says. "I knew they could do it!" Ayumi smiles too, blushing as she looks at Nathan.
As the sun begins to set, Chris walks up to a gravestone which reads:
Elisa Bowman
2012 – 2034
Chris kneels down in front of it and sets down a small bundle of flowers. He looks at the stone for a few minutes, smiling sadly before getting back up. Nicole walks up to him, putting her hand on his shoulder. Adrian, Allison and Bryan are standing behind them. "You okay?" Nicole asks Chris. Chris smiles as he nods. "Yeah." he says. "I'll be fine. I'd just better make sure that nothing ever happens to my new friends." The other Rangers smile. Chris looks to the other Rangers. "Thanks guys." he says. "For everything." Everyone smiles at each other and Chris offers Nicole a hand. Nicole takes it, and the other three Rangers walk up. All of the Rangers put their hands together.
From a distance, Nathan and Ayumi are revealed to be watching. Ayumi turns to Nathan. "You were right all along Nathan." she says. Nathan just smiles as the two watch the Rangers gathered together.
Much later as darkness has fallen, the Mystery Cloaked Man is revealed to be walking through the forest. As he stops just outside a small group of trees, he smiles nastily. "At last the Millennium Rangers have come together." he says. "Now the real fun begins." He laughs to himself, then walks off, vanishing into the darkness as we fade to black.
