Chapter 6: Conquering the Creepy Crawlers

Inside of the Ranger's base beneath the antique shop, Hitoshi was on the computer with Mason sitting near him. Hitoshi turned towards Mason and sighed as the other Rangers came walking up.

"Nothing in your DNA has changed," Hitoshi told Mason.

"Then how did I get those powers all of a sudden?" Mason asked Hitoshi.

"I guess it's from the Power Stars," Hitoshi said to Mason.

"So the Power Stars can give us more than just the ability to become a Power Ranger?" Jun asked her father.

"I guess so," Hitoshi said as he shrugged his shoulders.

"Odd, Mason is the only one to have these powers though," Jirou said as Logan was working on something in the background.

Beth looked behind Jirou and noticed Logan was up to something.

"Logan, what're you doing?" Beth asked Logan.

"Oh, it's nothing," Logan said as he sat a ninja star made from ninja steel down on the table.

Hitoshi walked over to Logan and looked on the computer screen behind him.

"What is this then?" Hitoshi asked Logan.

"That's just something I've been working on," Logan told Hitoshi.

"Is that the only thing?" Hitoshi asked Logan.

"Well, there was one other thing," Logan said as he twiddled his thumbs.

Logan opened the desk and revealed a tray with five items on it.

"What're those?" Hitoshi asked Logan.

"They're communication devices I created for us to use," Logan said to everyone. "I call them Ninja Comms,"

"Do they have to look like an oversized wristwatch?" Mason asked Logan as he took one of the Ninja Comms.

"As long as they look like normal wristwatches its fine," Jun told Mason.

"Yeah, we don't want people noticing them too easily," Beth said to Mason.

"Someone will notice these huge things though," Mason said as he put the Ninja Comm on his wrist.

"Then start wearing long sleeves," Jirou said as he took his Ninja Comm.

Logan went back to the computer and continued working as the other Rangers walked out of the lab with their new Ninja Comms. Mason looked back inside the lab with a smirk on his face.

"I hope this works," Mason whispered to himself as he pointed his finger towards Logan.

Mason's finger began glowing and sent a small trail of light towards Logan. The light hit Logan on the shoulder and began forming something as Logan continued working.

"What're you working on?" Hitoshi asked Logan.

"Oh, it's just a new way of transportation for us," Logan told Hitoshi as the light turned into a tarantula on Logan's shoulder.

Hitoshi gazed over and noticed the tarantula on Logan's shoulder. Hitoshi screamed and jumped back away from Logan.

"What's wrong?" Logan asked Hitoshi in concern.

"Don't look over," Hitoshi said to Logan cautiously.

Logan slowly looked over and saw the tarantula on his shoulder. Logan began screaming loudly in horror as Mason laughed at him. Logan tripped on a cable and fell to the ground with the tarantula still on him. Logan began rolling around and screaming as Mason continued laughing.

"Get it off!" Logan shouted as the tarantula disappeared.

"Calm down it's gone!" Hitoshi said to Logan as he knelt down to help him.

Logan grabbed Hitoshi's hand and heard Mason chuckling at the door.

"That wasn't funny man!" Logan shouted at Mason.

"Oh, it definitely was," Mason said as he wiped a tear from his eye.

"You might have new powers, but you sure don't know how to use them correctly," Logan said in frustration.

"Come on dude, it was just a joke," Mason said as Logan walked by him.

"Don't talk to me," Logan said to Mason as he headed up the stairs.

"Logan!" Mason shouted as Hitoshi walked up beside him.

"You really shouldn't have done that," Hitoshi told Mason.

"Can we not have a little fun around here?" Mason asked Hitoshi.

"That wasn't fun," Hitoshi said to Mason.

Mason sighed as Hitoshi walked up the stairs and left him behind.

"I guess I did overdo it a little," Mason said to himself.

Upstairs, Logan was sitting alone near the front window of the store. Beth walked over to Logan and sat down in a seat near him.

"Are you okay?" Beth asked Logan.

"Yeah, just a little ticked off," Logan told Beth as he continued staring out the window.

"I'm sure Mason didn't mean to hurt your feelings," Beth said to Logan.

"He didn't really hurt my feelings," Logan said to Beth. "He knows I'm afraid of spiders,"

"He's your best friend," Beth told Logan as she placed her hand on his shoulder. "Stuff like this will happen all the time,"

"Yeah, well it shouldn't," Logan said as he rose to his feet.

"Mason probably feels bad about what happened anyway," Beth said to Logan as Logan walked away.

"I'm going back downstairs," Logan said to Beth. "If he wants to apologize he can wait,"

"Wow, I never thought I'd see Logan like this," Jirou said as he walked over to Beth.

"He'll be fine in a few hours," Beth said as she got up.

Standing on the stage inside of his ship, Cosmo was waving to the crowd of monsters and aliens as he chuckled uncontrollably. Cosmo suddenly calmed down and raised a microphone up to his mouth.

"Creeps and freaks, are you ready for another contestant to test their might against the Power Rangers?" Cosmo asked the crowd as they began roaring.

As the crowd continued cheering a spider crawled up onto Cosmo's shoulder.

"Then let's give a warm welcome to Tangleweb!" Cosmo shouted as he pointed towards the curtain.

The crowd began growing silent as Cosmo was standing still pointing at the curtain.

"Tangleweb?" Cosmo said in confusion.

The spider on Cosmo's shoulder began glowing and leapt off of Cosmo's shoulder causing him to scream in horror. The spider transformed into a large humanoid spider with a white box on its back.

"I'm ready to scare those Rangers right out of their spandex!" Tangleweb shouted as Cosmo caught his breath.

"Don't ever scare me like that again," Cosmo said to Tangleweb.

"Then I guess it's time for me to begin tangling those Rangers up," Tangleweb said as he walked away.

"Now to send out the Buzzcams!" Cosmo shouted as the screen behind him turned on.

Back at the antique shop, Beth was helping a customer at the counter as a loud metal grinding noise was heard coming from underground. The customer began looking around in confusion as Beth nervously counted the change for the customer.

"What is that noise?" The woman asked Beth.

"It's probably those guys at the garage nearby," Beth said nervously as she handed the money to the woman.

"But it sounds like it's coming from below us?" The woman said in confusion.

"Thank you for stopping by," Beth said to the woman as the woman walked towards the door carrying the painting she bought.

Beth sighed in relief as she made her way into the backroom.

"What is Logan up to?" Beth wondered as she opened the secret doorway.

As Beth continued down the stairs the noise began getting louder. Beth covered her ears as she came into the base and saw sparks flying from around Logan.

"What're you doing?" Beth asked Logan as she walked up behind him.

"What?" Logan said in confusion as he turned off the sander.

"You're being a little noisy I hope you know," Beth told Logan.

"Oh, I didn't think anyone could hear anything from down here," Logan said as he sat the sander down.

"I guess we need to find a way to keep the noise down here," Beth said as she noticed the old motorcycle Logan was working on.

"That's not done yet," Logan told Beth.

"What is it?" Beth asked Logan.

"I'm working on making us a way to get around the city quicker," Logan said to Beth.

"Have you ever even ridden a motorcycle before?" Beth asked Logan as she leaned on the table.

"Yeah, a lot when I was younger," Logan said to Beth. "My dad took me riding all the time,"

Logan grabbed a rag and wiped the oil off his hands as he sighed.

"That is until he passed away four years ago," Logan said in disappointment.

"I'm sorry," Beth said in concern.

"It's fine," Logan said as he sat the rag down.

"He ran a garage in town didn't he?" Beth asked Logan.

"Yeah, my uncle runs the place now," Logan told Beth. "Hopefully I can start working there soon,"

"Well good luck working on that motorcycle," Beth said as she headed towards the stairs. "I need to get back upstairs before more customers show up,"

"Alright, I'll be done here if you need help," Logan said as he picked the sander back up.

As Beth went back upstairs, Logan continued working on the motorcycle by himself.

Out in the woods outside of the city, Jirou was wearing his training gear standing still. The wind gently began blowing as Jirou slowly opened his eyes. Mason dropped down from a tree and swung his sword at Jirou as Jirou flipped back in an instant.

"How did you know I was attacking?" Mason asked Jirou.

"That was a nice idea waiting for the wind," Jirou told Mason. "However, you rustled the leaves too much,"

"Whatever," Mason said as he rolled his eyes.

"How about you use your magic?" Jun asked Mason as she walked out from behind a tree.

"I don't think it will work that way," Mason said as he shrugged his shoulders.

"Why wouldn't it?" Jirou asked Mason as he walked over.

"Fine I'll try," Mason said as he tossed his sword aside.

As Mason's hands began faintly glowing, a spider slowly dropped down from a tree and landed on Jun's shoulder. Mason groaned in annoyance as his hands stopped glowing.

"See," Mason said as he crossed his arms.

"You just need to keep practicing with it," Jirou told Mason.

"How about we spar while he practices with his magic?" Jun asked Jirou.

"Sounds good to me," Jirou said as he and Jun stepped aside.

"Don't get cranky when I beat you," Jun said as the spider jumped off of her and landed on Mason's back.

"You two have fun," Mason said as he walked off when Jirou and Jun began training.

Mason continued walking staring down at his hands.

"Am I missing something?" Mason asked himself as he walked into a spider web.

Mason began screaming as he tore the web off of his head.

"Gross!" Mason shouted in disgust as he wiped the web on his hands off in the grass.

The spider leapt off of Mason's back as it began glowing. Tangleweb landed on the ground and began snickering. Mason slowly turned around and saw Tangleweb standing behind him.

"Great, a giant spider," Mason said as he pulled out his morpher.

Tangleweb spewed a blast of web out of his mouth and instantly wrapped Mason up in the webs. Mason fell to the ground with the web covering his mouth as Tangleweb crept up to him.

"One down, four to go," Tangleweb said as he snickered.

A purple vortex suddenly appeared in front of Tangleweb as he began laughing evilly. The vortex instantly sucked Mason in and sent him to a room covered in web.

"Now that you're inside me, it will only be a matter of time before you rot away from my acids," Tangleweb said to Mason.

Mason began struggling to get free as he groaned loudly while tangled up in the web.

Over where Jun and Jirou were training, Jun blocked a kick from Jirou and shoved him away. Jirou regained his balance and quickly went after Jun again. Jun began knocking Jirou's fists away as he started throwing punches at her. As Jirou continued throwing punches, Jun noticed Jirou's fists began emitting smoke. Jun leaned out of the way as one of Jirou's fists went by her face engulfed in flames.

"Whoa!" Jirou shouted as he stopped in his tracks.

The flame on Jirou's hand went out as both he and Jun silently stared at his hand in astonishment.

"What was that?" Jun asked Jirou.

"I have no idea," Jirou said as he examined his hand.

"Maybe your Ninja Power Star did the same thing to you that Mason's did to him!" Jun told Jirou.

Jirou clenched his fist and threw a punch.

"It didn't work that time," Jirou said as he lowered his arm.

"I guess you need to get the hang of it like Mason and his magic," Jun said as she placed her hands on her hips.

"I guess so," Jirou said as a stream of web flew past Jun.

The web wrapped around Jirou's wrist and began pulling him towards Jun.

"What the heck?" Jun said in confusion as she turned around.

Jun saw Tangleweb with the webs hanging out of his mouth.

"You two are about to join your friend in my stomach!" Tangleweb shouted as Jirou fell to the ground being pulled by Tangleweb.

Jun pulled out her morpher and instantly morphed as Jirou was dragged past her.

"I've got you!" Jun shouted as she struck the web with her Ninja Star Blade.

Jirou quickly got to his feet as he was freed from the web.

"You will not escape me!" Tangleweb shouted at Jirou and Jun.

"Then we'll just exterminate you!" Jirou shouted as he pulled out his morpher.

Tangleweb's four arms on his back suddenly extended and flew towards Jirou.

"Watch out for those blades!" Jun shouted as one of the arms flew past her.

One of the arms struck Jirou's morpher and knocked it out of his hand. Jun slashed away at one of the arms causing Tangleweb to scream in pain.

"That wasn't very nice!" Tangleweb shouted as each of his arms began swinging at Jun.

Jun began deflecting the arms as they swung at her with the blades continuously.

"Hang on Jun!" Jirou shouted as he quickly picked up his morpher.

Tangleweb shot a stream of webbing at Jun and easily restrained her.

"No!" Jirou shouted as he watched Jun struggle to break free.

"Go warn Beth and Logan!" Jun shouted as she was being pulled towards Tangleweb.

Tangleweb's eyes flashed as the purple vortex appeared in front of him. Jun was instantly pulled into the vortex as Jirou watched in horror.

"Jun!" Jirou shouted as Tangleweb began laughing.

"Now it's your turn," Tangleweb said as he fired a stream of webbing at Jirou.

Jirou raised his arm and blocked the webbing from wrapping around his body.

"Come on!" Jirou shouted as he clenched his fist.

Jirou's right hand became engulfed in flames as he struck the webbing with his flaming fist. The webbing burnt away from around Jirou's forearm leaving Tangleweb astounded.

"Looks like you're missing out on seconds," Jirou said as he threw down a smoke bomb causing a cloud of smoke to fill the area.

"You won't escape me!" Tangleweb shouted as he ran deeper into the smoke.

The smoke slowly cleared out and revealed that Jirou was gone. Tangleweb groaned in anger as he punched a hole through a tree with ease.

"Looks like I need to go back undercover in the city," Tangleweb said as a Buzzcam flew by as he transformed into a smaller spider.

Back at the antique shop, Beth was sitting behind the counter by herself. As Beth went to sigh in boredom, the front door slung open. Jirou walked into the antique shop breathing heavily and sweat running down his face.

"Whoa, was training that rough today?" Beth asked Jirou.

"No, but we've got a big problem," Jirou told Beth.

"What happened?" Beth asked Jirou in concern as she rose from her seat.

"Jun and Mason were captured by a spider monster," Jirou told Beth.

"Oh no!" Beth said in horror.

"Go get Logan and get ready," Jirou said to Beth.

"Right," Beth said as she headed towards the back.

Beth hurried down into the base and heard Logan still working on the motorcycle. As Beth walked into the base, Logan stopped working and looked over towards her.

"There's a monster on the loose and it captured Jun and Mason," Beth told Logan.

"Oh crap," Logan said as he took off his gloves.

Out in the city, Jirou, Beth and Logan ran up the street searching for Tangleweb. Jirou came to a halt and held his Ninja Comm up to his mouth.

"Hitoshi, is there any way you can search for this monster?" Jirou asked Hitoshi through the Ninja Comm.

"Aside from security cameras, not really," Hitoshi told Jirou.

"How do we find a giant spider?" Beth asked the guys.

"We don't," Logan said as he pointed up ahead.

Jirou and Beth looked up ahead and saw a bunch of Kudabots approaching them. Tangleweb walked out in front of the Kudabots laughing evilly.

"It finds us," Logan said to Beth.

"There won't be any escaping this time," Tangleweb said to the Rangers.

"Watch out for the webs and those extra arms," Jirou said as he pulled out his morpher.

The Rangers placed their Ninja Power Stars on their morphers and prepared to morph.

"Ninja Spin!" The Rangers shouted as they activated their morphers.

The Rangers instantly morphed and took off running towards Tangleweb.

"Tear them apart!" Tangleweb shouted as the Kudabots ran past him.

Jirou ran up to a Kudabot and knocked its spear out of its hand causing the spear to stab another nearby Kudabot. Jirou slashed the Kudabot across the chest and quickly went after another Kudabot.

"Too easy!" Logan shouted as he rolled past a Kudabot.

Logan jumped back to his feet and struck another Kudabot away with his Ninja Star Blade.

"These bucket heads are just getting in the way!" Tangleweb said in frustration.

Tangleweb fired a stream of webbing at Beth and wrapped it around her waist. Beth began screaming as she was being pulled towards Tangleweb.

"Hold on Beth!" Jirou shouted as he ran up and grabbed her hand.

Jirou began struggling to hold onto Beth as Tangleweb began pulling him in along with her.

"He's too strong!" Jirou shouted as he held onto Beth's hand.

"Just let me go!" Beth shouted at Jirou.

"No, I'm not losing anyone else," Jirou said as he struck the webs with his sword.

Logan looked over at Jirou trying to save Beth and saw that Jirou's sword couldn't cut through the web.

"Looks like I'm going to get a two for one!" Tangleweb shouted as the purple vortex appeared in front of him.

"Jirou, I know you and Logan can beat this freak," Beth told Jirou.

"That's not happening!" Jirou said to Beth.

"Hang on!" Logan shouted as he began making his way over to Jirou as he attacked Kudabots in his way.

The purple vortex began pulling Beth and Jirou in even faster.

"Jirou, please save us," Beth said as she pulled her hand away from Jirou.

"No!" Jirou shouted as he watched Beth get sucked into the vortex.

Logan ran over to Jirou and tackled him away from the pull of the vortex.

"Don't worry, we can get them back," Logan said to Jirou as he helped him up.

Jirou looked up at Tangleweb and saw him fire another stream of webbing towards him and Logan.

"Move!" Jirou shouted as he shoved Logan out of the way.

The webbing wrapped around Jirou's waist as Logan watched lying on the ground.

"What're you thinking?" Logan asked Jirou.

"I'm counting on you," Jirou said to Logan.

"No, I won't let you do this!" Logan shouted as he jumped to his feet.

"I'm going to tear this guy apart from the inside," Jirou said as he began being pulled towards Tangleweb.

The purple vortex opened up once again and quickly pulled Jirou into it with ease.

"Ha, what a fool!" Tangleweb shouted with laughter.

Logan stared at Tangleweb in shock as the remaining Kudabots began approaching him.

"I'm the only one left," Logan said in disbelief.

"And soon you will join your friends and then no one will be able to save you," Tangleweb said as he laughed evilly.

Inside of Tangleweb, Mason and Jun were wrapped up in web hanging on the walls as Beth and Jirou suddenly appeared before them. Mason slowly looked over and saw the webs approaching them.

"No way, the spider freak even got Jirou," Mason said weakly as Jirou slowly leaned up with the web still around his waist.

Jirou saw the webs approaching him and quickly rose to his feet.

"Hang on, I'll get us out of here," Jirou said as his sword appeared in his hand.

A web shot from the wall and pulled the sword away from Jirou.

"Damn it!" Jirou shouted as another stream of webbing wrapped around his legs.

Jirou fell to the ground and saw the web on the ground beginning to cover up Beth.

"Hang on guys!" Jirou shouted at the others. "We still have a chance to get out of here!"

Back outside, Logan was struggling to fight off the horde of Kudabots around him as Tangleweb laughed evilly while watching. Logan was hit by one of the Kudabots spears and fell back to the ground in pain. Logan slowly leaned up and saw the Kudabots approaching him again.

"I can't do this on my own," Logan said in fear.

Logan struggled to his feet with his sword in hand.

"I'm not giving up though," Logan said to himself. "My friends need me,"

"Just give up already," Tangleweb said to Logan.

"No, I'm not quitting," Logan said to Tangleweb.

Back in the Rangers base, Hitoshi walked down into the base and saw that the Ninja Nexus Prism began glowing. Hitoshi ran up to the Ninja Nexus Prism and gazed at it in amazement.

"What's happening here?" Hitoshi wondered as the Ninja Nexus Prism began glowing brighter.

Hitoshi quickly moved out of the way as the Ninja Nexus Prism fired a blast. The blast hit the motorcycle Logan was working on causing it to transform. Pieces of ninja steel from a nearby bucket began combining onto the motorcycle as it continued changing.

"Holy cow!" Hitoshi said in amazement.

The motorcycle transformed into a Power Star and flew over to Hitoshi as he quickly caught it. Hitoshi then looked over at the monitor and saw Logan struggling against the Kudabots.

"Hang in there Logan," Hitoshi said as he threw the Power Star. "Helps on the way,"

The Power Star disappeared as it was about to hit the wall.

Back in the city Logan was hit by one of Tangleweb's bladed arms and fell to the ground in pain. The Kudabots quickly surrounded Logan as he struggled to get up. Tangleweb began approaching the group as he snickered.

"It's now time for your doom," Tangleweb said as he laughed.

A Ninja Power Star struck Tangleweb and knocked him away from Logan and the Kudabots. The Power Star fell to the ground in front of Logan and caught his attention.

"What's this?" Logan said in confusion as he grabbed the Power Star.

Logan tossed the Power Star into the air causing the Power Star to instantly grow and transform. The Power Star transformed into a motorcycle and released a powerful shockwave blowing the Kudabots away from Logan.

"Wait, is that the motorcycle I was working on?" Logan wondered as the motorcycle landed in front of him.

Logan slowly rose to his feet and walked up to the motorcycle.

"Where did that thing come from?" Tangleweb said in confusion as he saw Logan looking at his motorcycle.

Logan got on the motorcycle and revved up the engine.

"Nice," Logan said in amazement. "I think I'll call it the Mega Morph Cycle,"

"I don't care what it's called!" Tangleweb shouted at Logan. "I'm going to make sure you suffer the same fate as your friends,"

"Catch me if you can," Logan said as he hit the gas causing the back wheel to spin.

Logan sped off towards Tangleweb as Tangleweb fired a stream of webs at him.

"I'm not getting caught in those!" Logan shouted as he fired lasers at the webs.

The lasers hit the webs causing them to burn away in an instant. The Kudabots rose to their feet and took off running after Logan. Logan quickly turned around and sped towards the Kudabots.

"Plasma Blast!" Logan shouted as the Mega Morph Cycle fired a powerful laser at the Kudabots.

The laser struck the ground near the Kudabots causing an explosion that engulfed the Kudabots. Logan hit the brakes and looked over at Tangleweb.

"Looks like we're both on our own now," Logan said as he revved up the engine.

"Then come at me!" Tangleweb shouted as he stretched his four arms out towards Logan.

Logan hit the gas and began speeding towards Tangleweb. As the bladed arms came at Logan, Logan began knocking them away with his Ninja Star Blade.

"Now for the finish," Logan said as he jumped up on the seat.

"What is he thinking?" Tangleweb said in confusion.

"Plasma Blast!" Logan shouted as he fired a blast from the Mega Morph Cycle.

The blast struck Tangleweb causing him to become dazed.

"Steel Slash!" Logan shouted as he leapt off the Mega Morph Cycle and pressed a button on his Ninja Star Blade.

Logan began striking Tangleweb repeatedly as he moved around him at blinding speed. Logan suddenly landed in front of Tangleweb causing his Ninja Star Blade to stop glowing. As Tangleweb screamed in pain and began to fall, four glowing white orbs flew out of his body. As Tangleweb's body exploded the other Rangers appeared in front of Logan.

"Thank goodness!" Logan shouted in relief. "I can't believe you guys are alright!"

"It's thanks to you," Beth said as she slowly rose to her feet.

"I knew you could do it," Jirou said as he placed his hand on Logan's shoulder.

Logan looked over and saw Mason walk up to him.

"I'm sorry about earlier," Mason said to Logan.

"No, I took it too seriously when I shouldn't have," Logan told Mason.

Mason looked over at the Mega Morph Cycle and began snickering.

"Did you make that?" Mason asked Logan.

"You know it!" Logan said as he bumped Mason on the arm.

"Not bad," Mason said to Logan as a blast shot down from the sky.

The Rangers quickly turned around and saw Tangleweb grow instantly into a giant.

"Great, an even bigger creepy crawly to deal with," Jun said as she pulled out her Zord Star.

Jirou placed his Zord Star on his Ninja Star Blade and quickly spun the star.

"Out of the Shadows!" Jirou shouted as he and the other Rangers leapt into the air.

Jirou landed on the shoulder of his Robo Red Zord as his zord ran quickly down the street.

"Activate Megazord Mode!" Jirou shouted as he spun his Zord Star once again.

The five zords came near each other and quickly combined into the Megazord in front of Tangleweb. The Rangers appeared in the Megazord's cockpit and readied for battle.

"Let's exterminate this creep!" Mason shouted as the Megazord began marching towards Tangleweb.

"Let's see you slice through this!" Tangleweb shouted as he shot a large stream of webs at the Megazord.

The webs instantly wrapped around the Megazord immobilizing it.

"The controls are jammed!" Beth shouted as she began pressing buttons on her console next to her.

"What do we do now?" Mason asked the others.

"Mason, Logan, keep trying to get us free," Jirou said as he stepped away from his console.

"What're you doing?" Logan asked Jirou.

"I'm going to distract the freak until the Megazord is free," Jirou said as he walked away.

"Is he insane?" Jun asked the others.

"Nope, he's just being Jirou," Mason said as his Dragon Zord arm of the Megazord continued struggling to break free.

Jirou stepped out onto the shoulder of the Megazord and saw Tangleweb send his four bladed arms towards the Megazord. Jirou leapt off the Megazord and narrowly evaded the bladed arms.

"Red Ninja Slash!" Jirou shouted as his body began glowing red along with his sword.

Jirou flew towards Tangleweb at blinding speed and stabbed his sword into Tangleweb's chest.

"That felt like a flea bit!" Tangleweb shouted as he laughed and swatted Jirou away.

Jirou fell onto a nearby rooftop hard and struggled to get up. Jirou looked over at the Megazord and saw it being hit repeatedly by Tangleweb's arms.

"What do we do?" Jirou asked himself as he clenched his fist.

Behind Jirou, a person wearing a hooded cloak began approaching Jirou. Jirou quickly turned around and saw the person walk up to him.

"Who are you?" Jirou asked the person.

The person pulled their hand out of the cloak and revealed a new Ninja Power Star. The person tossed the Power Star to Jirou.

"Is this a new Zord Star?" Jirou said in confusion. "Where did you get this?"

A loud explosion was heard causing Jirou to turn around. Tangleweb was still striking the Megazord with his arms. Jirou turned back around and saw that the mysterious person was gone.

"Where did they go?" Jirou said in confusion.

Jirou looked down at the Power Star and clenched it in his hands.

"Let's see what this thing can do," Jirou said as he placed the Zord Star on his sword.

Jirou quickly spun the Zord Star causing it to begin glowing. Outside of the city, a new zord resembling an elephant rose out of the ground and let out a loud roar. The zord took off running towards the city in a hurry.

"Hey, there it is!" Jirou said as he saw the zord run towards him.

Jirou leapt off the roof and landed on top of the new zord.

"Alright buddy, let's save our friends!" Jirou shouted as the zord ran towards Tangleweb and the Megazord.

"Whoa, where did that zord come from?" Mason asked the others as the new zord ran up.

As Jirou sat on the top of the zord, his Ninja Comm began going off.

"Hitoshi, what's wrong?" Jirou asked Hitoshi.

"Jirou, where did that zord come from?" Hitoshi asked Jirou.

"Some person in a cloak gave me the Zord Star," Jirou told Hitoshi.

"Well that zord is the Rumble Tusk Zord," Hitoshi told Jirou. "It's a legendary zord that was lost centuries ago,"

"Then I can't wait to see what this thing can do," Jirou said as he lowered his arm.

"I'll tangle you up too!" Tangleweb shouted as he fired another stream of webs at the Rumble Tusk Zord.

"Blow them away!" Jirou shouted as the Rumble Tusk Zord raised its trunk.

The Rumble Tusk Zord fired a powerful blast of air from its trunk and blew the web back at Tangleweb.

"Ugh, now I'm all tangled up!" Tangleweb shouted as he tried to free himself.

The Rumble Tusk Zord suddenly began transforming causing Jirou to lose his balance.

"Whoa!" Jirou shouted as he leapt back towards the Megazord.

The Rumble Tusk Zord transformed into a humanoid form with mounted shoulder cannons.

"Whoa, it looks kind of like my Robo Red Zord now!" Jirou said in amazement.

The Rumble Tusk Ninja Zord leapt into the air and began firing blasts down at Tangleweb.

"Knock it off already!" Tangleweb shouted as he freed himself from the webs.

The Rumble Tusk Zord transformed back into its other mode and turned towards the Megazord. The zord then began sucking in through its trunk and pulled the webbing off the Megazord.

"The controls are back online!" Beth said to the others.

"If that zord has a humanoid mode similar to my zord, then perhaps it can combine with us too," Jirou said as he returned to the cockpit.

Jirou spun the Power Star on his sword causing the Megazord and Rumble Tusk Zord to begin glowing.

"Activate Rumble Tusk Ninja Steel Megazord!" Jirou shouted as his Robo Red Zord leapt out of its compartment.

The right arm of the Megazord detached along with the head. The Robo Red Zord then attached to the Megazord as the right arm as the Rumble Tusk Ninja Zord entered the compartment on the front of the Megazord. A new head attached on top of the Megazord along with two axes in the Megazord's hands.

"Awesome!" Logan shouted as the back wall of the cockpit changed behind him.

"Now let's finish this!" Jirou shouted as he spun the Power Star once again.

"Double Axe Final Attack!" The Rangers shouted as the Megazord hurled its two axes at Tangleweb.

The two axes sliced Tangleweb in an X motion causing him to instantly explode. The axes returned to the Megazord's hands as it slowly turned away from the explosion.

On a nearby rooftop, the cloaked person was watching the Rangers. The person removed their hood. The girl began smirking as the sun was setting behind the Megazord.

"You don't know what's coming," The girl said as she continued staring at the Megazord. "At least not yet,"

On Cosmo's ship, Galvanax was furious about the Rangers being victorious once again. Galvanax struck a Kudabot with its own spear causing it to explode. Ripcon walked into the room and saw Galvanax screaming in anger.

"Sir I know you're mad about Cosmo and his moronic contestants failing again," Ripcon said to Galvanax.

"What do you want?" Galvanax asked Ripcon as he snarled.

"I want you to give me a shot against the Rangers," Ripcon said as he knelt down in front of Galvanax.

"You think you can handle them?" Galvanax asked Ripcon.
