Episode 449: Power Rangers RPM: Key to the Past

In Venjix's Lair, General Shifter activates the Hyper Bot, which is intended to be Venjix's next body. However, it goes crazy and attacks Venjix

"You dare attack me?!" Venjix asked "Shifter, take your Bot and leave, you are banished to the Wastelands!" and Shifter leaves with his Hyper Bot, Tenaya 7 smirking as she was the one that sabotaged the Hyper Bot to attack Venjix

"My Heat Bot is ready to attack" said Tenaya

"Good" said Venjix "Rossi failed to distract the Rangers long enough for me to complete my new weapon, so I need you to distract them until he can come up with a better distraction" and they left

In Corinth, the teens watch as the Mayor of Corinth and Colonel Truman use their keys to unlock the fuel deposit

"Why does Dad need the extra fuel?" Scott wondered, as the fuel deposit automatically released the energy needed to power Corinth

"I should try that with my keys" said Dillon as the Heat Bot and Grinders attack

"RPM, GET IN GEAR!" said Scott "RANGER OPERATOR SERIES RED, 1!"

"RANGER OPERATOR SERIES BLUE, 2!" said Flynn

"RANGER OPERATOR SERIES YELLOW, 3!" said Summer

"RANGER OPERATOR SERIES GREEN, 4!" said Ziggy

"RANGER OPERATOR SERIES BLACK, 5!" said Dillon

"RANGER OPERATOR SERIES GOLD!" said Gem

"RANGER OPERATOR SERIES SILVER!" said Gemma

"Nitro Swords!" said Scott

"Cloud Hatchets!" said Gem and they battle the robots. Tenaya 7 shows up and attacks Dillon, who uses his shield to deflect the blast, forcing her to retreat with the Heat Bot.

In the Wastelands, Shifter plans to use his Hyper Bot to take revenge on the Rangers and Venjix

At the Garage, Dr. K is debriefing the teens when Colonel Truman and the Corinth Defense Force walk in.

"Dr. K" said Truman "I have decided the price you must pay if you want to remain free"

"What is it, Colonel?" K asked

"The Paleozord" said Truman

"Excuse me?" K asked

"I want you to surrender the Paleozord to me" said Truman

"And if I refuse?" K asked

"Life in prison, if you're lucky" said Truman "if you're not…"

"Dad, you can't do this" said Scott "we need the Paleozord"

"You were doing fine without it" said Truman

"But we would all be gone without it" said Scott "we couldn't have survived those last couple of attacks without it"

"Dr. K, your decision" said Truman

"Scott" said K "get the Paleozord"

"Dr. K…" said Scott

"Ranger Operator Series Red, that is an order" said K

"Fine" said Scott and he goes to get a briefcase and opens it up and pulls out the three Zords that make up the Paleozord. He hands them to Corporal Hicks

"And the Engine Cells" said Truman, holding out his hand. Scott sighs and pulls out Engine Cells 10-12 and hands them to his father "thank-you" and he begins to leave

"What are you going to do with them?" K asked

"You'll see soon enough" said Truman and he leaves with his troops. Dillon goes off to the side, and inserts the keys into his pocket watch together and it plays a familiar tune and he gets in his car and races off

In the Wastelands, Tenaya 7 finds Dillon with his pocket watch, with it playing her favorite tune. Tenaya 7 flashes back to a memory, but interestingly enough, there's only sounds in her memory, no visuals. She remembers herself as a young girl, and she hers who she thinks are her brother and grandfather talking with her.

"Tenaya" said Dillon "you're my sister"

"I don't believe it" said Tenaya and she blasts him

"RPM, GET IN GEAR!" said Dillon "RANGER OPERATOR SERIES BLACK, 5!" and they battle. They lock arms and Dillon uses the gears on his arms to cut her. She runs off and sees that cut doesn't show wires, but rather blood. Dillon returns to Corinth

At Venjix's Lair, Tenaya 7 scans the blood coming from her

"Sample belongs to Subject G78 and is a familial match for Subject D44" said the computer, which then shows Dillon and Tenaya and escaping from Venjix, only for Tenaya to be captured by General Kilobyte.

"You must be destroyed" said Kilobyte as he watches Tenaya 7 watch the footage "you are bound to turn on Venjix now"

"No" said Tenaya "I will stay with Venjix and kill the Black Ranger"

At the Fuel Depot in Corinth, the Heat Bot is attacking and fighting the core 5 Rangers

"Street Saber!" said Scott

"Turbo Cannon!" said Flynn

"Zip Charger!" said Summer

"Turbo Axe!" said Ziggy

"Rocket Blaster!" said Dillon

"RPM ENFORCER!" said Scott and they combine their weapons "ENGINE CELL, ACTIVATE!" and he inserts Engine Cell 1 into the RPM Enforcer "FIRE!" but the Heat Bot simply absorbs the attack

"Cloud Hatchets!" said Gem "Attack Sequence 2" and he and Gemma flip switch 2 on the Cloud Hatchets and freeze the Heat Bot. Tenaya 7 shows up with Grinders

"I'm here to kill the Black Ranger" said Tenaya and she attacks Dillons while the Grinders attack the other Rangers

"Nitro Sword!" said Dillon and they battle, but Tenaya 7 overpowers him

"Street Saber!" said Scott

"Turbo Cannon!" said Flynn

"Zip Charger!" said Summer

"ROAD BLASTER!" said Scott "ENGINE CELL, ACTIVATE!" and he inserts Engine Cell 1 into the Road Blaster as he points it at Tenaya 7 "FIRE!" and the blast fires towards her, but Dillon gets in the way and is demorphed. Tenaya 7 is blasted over the edge of a cliff, but Dillon grabs her

"Take my hand!" said Dillon and Tenaya 7 flashes back to feeling herself in a familiar circumstance, with someone who sounded like Dillon saying the same thing. She then hears Kilobyte's voice and feels herself falling as the flashback ends. Tenaya takes Dillon's hand and he pulls her up

"Dillon" said Scott "what's going on?"

"She's my sister" said Dillon

In the Corinth Control Center, Colonel Truman watches the situation as his soldiers and scientists move about. He feels less guilty about blackmailing Dr. K, as he knows her Rangers will no longer be reliable at this revelation. If Tenaya 7 continued to fight for Venjix, the Rangers would hold back. He needed to protect the last city in his beloved country.

"Colonel" said Hicks "we're ready to begin"

"Then do it" said Truman

"Yes sir" said Hicks. The scientists take out three new Engine Cells, a red version of the G Cells and insert them into the small version of the Paleozord. The scientists then absorb each part of the Paleozord into a Crystal Eye. They then place the Crystal Eyes on stands and then place the respective Engine Cells on stands across from them. Then Colonel Truman pulls out a device invented by a Pink Ranger and given to him by a Black Ranger and inserts the fuel he got from the fuel deposit earlier into it. He then fires the device through the Crystal Eyes at the Engine Cells. The Paleozord comes out of the Crystal Eyes and surround the Engine Cells making them glow…

By the fuel deposit, General Kilobyte arrives and frees the Heat Bot. The Rangers prepare to fight it when they hear sirens and see the Corinth Defense Force drive up

"Stand down Rangers" said Hicks

"Corporal" said Scott "it took all 7 of us to take it down the first time, do you really think you have the firepower to stop it?"

"Yes" said Hicks with a smirk "for the first time, we finally do"

"Ignore them" said Scott

"Scott!" said Truman as he steps out of a vehicle "stand down, that's an order"

"I don't follow your orders anymore" said Scott "I'm not your soldier"

"You are a citizen of Corinth" said Truman "we are in a state of emergency, and as the highest military authority, I can order you to stand down and arrest you if you don't"

"We don't have to" said Dillon

"Stand down" said Scott

"Scott?" Summer asked

"Let them try, if they fail, we'll run in" said Scott "Go ahead"

"Bring them in" said Truman and three figures approach

"Who are they?" Ziggy asked

"They look like…" said Scott "… Power Rangers"

The three figures were Red, White, and Blue Rangers (the Dino Rangers from the Power Rangers RPM toyline)

"Nitro Swords!" said the Red Ranger and the three Rangers attack the Heat Bot

"Dad" said Scott as he realized what these three Rangers looked like "what did you do?"

"I created by own team of Rangers" said Truman "perfect soldiers, that will follow the highest military authority nearby that is loyal to Corinth. They're the USA Rangers"

"Nitro Blasters!" said the Red USA Ranger "Engine Cells, activate" as he insert Engine Cells 10-12 into their Nitro Blasters "Fire!" and they blast the Heat Bot back "Dino Boomerang!"

"Dino Blasters!" said the White USA Ranger

"Dino Lance!" said the Blue USA Ranger and they continue to fight the Heat Bot

"DINO CANNON!" said the Red USA Ranger and they combine their weapons "ENGINE CELL, ACTIVATE!" as he inserts Engine Cell 10 into the Dino Cannon "ICE!" and an ice form of Attackzord 10 runs through the Heat Bot, freezing and destroying it

"Begin download, now!" said Venjix and the Attack Bot grows

"PALEOZORD!" said the Red USA Ranger and they each take out Cell Shift Morphers and insert Engine Cells 10-12 into them. They glow and transform into the Paleozord and then transform into the PaleoMax Megazord which then uses the Deep Freeze attack to destroy the Heat Bot

At Venjix's Lair, Kilobyte informs Venjix that Tenaya 7 has learned of her past

At the Garage, the teens are with Dr. K discussing the situation when Tenaya walks in

"I believe" said Tenaya to Dillon "and I want to help"

"Colonel Truman is approaching" said K "hide in my room" and they lock her in the room Dr. K used to hide in "I've deactivated all computers and weapons in there, she can't hurt anything" and Truman walks in

"Doctor" said Truman

"Colonel" said K

"I have decided Corinth is no longer in need of your services" said Truman "The USA Rangers will protect us now. Project RPM is over. If any of you morph without my permission you will be arrested as vigilantes"

In the Corinth Control Center, Colonel Truman appears to be talking to himself

"Was creating the USA Rangers the right thing to do" said Truman and he pauses "answer me! It was you who suggested I use the Crystal Eyes and Rose's device. It was you who showed my scientists how to create Engine Cells!" and the room goes dark as a few words appear on his monitor

"The USA Rangers will be needed, very, very soon" read the monitor
