The Fated Showdown Part 2
Colt walks up to Maddox in the Command Center as she's at the man computer. Dawson is on the side computer, while Shelby is sitting on a counter on the side and Jordan is pacing back and forth behind them. "Anything Colonel?" Colt asks. Maddox shakes her head. "John's Morpher Signal was obviously damaged when he took that hit." she says. "The computer can't locate him." "No word from Riley, Aaron and Tosha in the Voyager either." Dawson says. "WELL LOOK HARDER!" Jordan says demandingly. "Jordan calm down." Shelby says. "No!" Jordan says. "I won't! My brother is missing!" She walks over to Shelby and grabs her by her sides. "At best he's seriously hurt and at worst he's. . ." She starts crying before she can finish her sentence and forces her head into Shelby's chest. Shelby hugs her and pats her on the head.
"What about Akihiro?" Colt asks. Maddox shakes her head too. "He's activated the cloaking device on his ship." she says. "Our sensors can't track the signal at all." "So in other words we're running blind." Shelby says. "He said he was trying to create an ultimate weapon." Colt says. "I'm concerned on what that means."
The Bio Voyager is cruising through the forest. Inside the main cockpit, Riley, Aaron and Tosha are piloting, already Morphed. "Still nothing." Tosha says. "He's got to be here somewhere." Aaron says. "Let's head back to base and see if Colonel's got anything." Riley says. "Yeah." Aaron says. "Searching for him like this is hopeless." "I just hope he's alright." Tosha says. "Losing him would just be too much." "I know." Aaron says.
Aboard the Relentless Rogue, which has landed in a field now,Akihiro is meeting with Satsujin. "The generator is already at fifty percent." Satsujin says. "That's great." Akihiro says. "I was hoping to get to at least a quarter of the power needed, but this is better. Now we can move toward the next part." He turns toward the Ranger Clones, which are standing next to them at attention. He holds up six more neck-braces. "We'll use them to get the last fifty percent!" he says. "Not only will we get the power we need, but they'll be able to destroy Johnny boy's friends too!" "And then we'll create the ultimate weapon!" Satsujin says. "And burn the world away to nothing!" Akihiro nods. "Yes!" he says. "Just too bad Johnny boy won't be around to see it!" He laughs maniacally again.
At the Bio Base, Riley, Aaron and Tosha walk into the Command Center. "No sign of John out there at all." Tosha says. "And we searched everywhere." Riley says. Jordan walks over to them. "Well obviously you didn't search hard enough!" she says angrily. "My brother is still missing!" "Jordan please calm down." Colt says. "We're just as worried about John as you are. But there's also Akihiro to worry about too." "I don't care!" Jordan says. "I'm not doing anything else until I find John!" "Jordan," Shelby says, "I want to find John as badly as you do, but we can't just ignore Akihiro. He's planning something dangerous!" Jordan glares at the other Rangers. "Fine!" she says. "If you guys won't find John, then I will!" she begins walking toward the Zord Holding Bay, pushing past Aaron. "Get out of my way!" she says angrily, crying as she runs. "Jordan!" Colt says as he tries to run after her, but Riley holds her back. "Let her go Colt." he says. "Let her deal with this herself."
"LAUNCH SYSTEM ACTIVATED!" the voice of the Zord Holding Bay announces as the Blackbird Zord launches. Inside the cockpit, Jordan controls the Zord, now Morphed. "I'll search this whole world if I have to find you John!" she says to herself. "I'll find you if I have to die trying!" She pushes the throttle forward and the Blackbird Zord zooms forward.
At the Bio Base, the Rangers are meeting. "I'm really worried about what Akihiro is planning." Colt says. "He said he wanted to create the ultimate weapon." "Well he did say the generator was the key to his plan." Riley says. "If we destroy that, then that could be the end of it." "Well we need to deal with Akihiro and fast if we're going to be able to help John." Shelby says. "Yeah." Shelby says. "But how do we find Akihiro's ship?" Aaron says. "Well all we can do is look." Colt says. "Let's all go in the Voyager again." The Rangers all nod and begin heading toward the Zord Holding Bay. "Guys." Shelby says and the Rangers turn around to look at her. "What if John really is. . ." she begins tearing up before she can finish her sentence. "Let's not think about that right now." Colt says. "Until we've found him, we can't just assume the worst." The Rangers continue to head toward the Bay.
"LAUNCH SYSTEM ACTIVATED!" the Holding Bay's voice announces as the Bio Voyager launches. Inside the cockpit, the five Rangers begin searching for Akihiro.
Akihiro walks down the ramp off the Relentless Rogue with Satsujin behind him. "Soon the Rangers will arrive here," Akihiro says, "and when they do, that's when we'll be ready." He smiles to himself.
The Blackbird Zord is flying through the sky, Jordan looking around desperately. "Where are you John?!" she cries out desperately.
On the rocky beach, John still lies unconscious.
The scenery around John suddenly changes as he's now lying in a meadow. The wounds on his face have also disappeared. He winces a bit before he opens his eyes and wakes up, looking around. He sits up, looking around as he gasps in shock. As he gets to his feet, he notices he's wearing different clothes. He looks around. "Where am I?" he asks. "I was just fighting Akihiro and then. . ." He begins feeling his head as if he's got a headache. "What happened?" he asks.
He turns to his left, and sees a person lying down on the ground unconscious. He gasps in shock and runs over to her. "Hey!" he says and he hoists the person up. "Are you okay?!" he asks, but as he brushes the person's hair to the side, her recognizes her face. "K-K-Kumiko?!" he asks in shock. Kumiko's eyes open and she smiles as she sees John's face. "John-san." she says. John helps her up. "How?" John asks. "I saw you. . ." But before he can finish her sentence, Kumiko kisses him. John resists at first, but he soon closes his eyes and embraces her.
Finally the two stop kissing as John pulls away. "I knew you would come here!" Kumiko says. "I just knew it!" John's smile soon turns into a stern expression. "What is this place?" he asks as he steps away, looking around. "We are in the dimensional rift." Kumiko responds. "Dimensional rift?" John asks. Kumiko nods. "The area in between life and death." she responds. "And where I've been waiting for you to come for me ever since I died in your arms." John looks away in shock. "Have I died?" he thinks to himself.
The Bio Voyager arrives in the field where the Relentless Rogue has landed. "There's the ship!" Aaron says. "Stop the Zord!" Colt says.
The Bio Voyager slows to a stop just above the Relentless Rogue. Below it, Akihiro laughs. "Right on time!" he says with a smile. The Rangers all quickly jump out of the Voyager and stand opposite Akihiro. Akihiro smiles, but then tilts his head in confusion. "Only five of you?" he asks. "Where's that moron sister of Johnny boy's? Was Johnny boy's little tumble just too much for her?" He laughs. "Shut it!" Aaron says angrily. "We're going to make you pay for what you did to John!" Shelby says. "And five of us are enough to do that!" Akihiro laughs. "Well that sounds like fun." he says. "But I have a better idea." Satsujin walks off the ship behind him and snaps her fingers. The six Ranger Clones appear opposite the Rangers, with the neck-brace nodes attached to their necks. The Rangers all gasp in shock. "Its these guys again!" Aaron says.
"Glad you remember them!" Satsujin says. "These guys should be enough to get the remaining power needed." "Wait what?" Aaron says. "I've attached nodes to them as well." Akihiro says. "Now all the energy they spend fighting you will power the generator. Now I can get all the remaining power I need and have you guys killed as well!" He and Satsujin start laughing.
"We can't fight these guys without Jordan's help!" Riley says. "Yeah." Tosha says. Colt takes out his Morpher. "Colonel!" he says. "Contact Jordan! We need her help!"
"Roger Colt." Maddox says. She transfers to another transmission. "Jordan! Come in!"
On board the Blackbird Zord, Maddox's voice comes in over the communicator. "The others are in trouble Jordan!" Maddox's voice says. "They need you! Please respond! Jordan?!" Jordan reaches toward the communicator and shuts it off. "John comes first!" she says and the Blackbird Zord stays on course.
The Ranger Clones begin walking toward the Rangers, who all stand firm. "We need to beat them as fast guys." Colt says. "That way the generator won't max out in time." "Easier said than done." Aaron says. "Well we have to try." Riley says. The Rangers all take out their weapons. "Attack!" Colt says, and the Rangers charge forward. The Ranger Clones summon their own weapons and attack as well, Akihiro and Satsujin watching with interest.
Riley holds up his Bio Crossbow in defense as his clone fires several laser arrows at him. He flips it around and charges at him, throwing a punch, but his clone quickly blocks his punch and slashes him with the sides of his own Bio Crossbow. Riley is knocked back and his clone fires more laser arrows at him to send him flying back.
Shelby slashes at her clone several times with the barrel of her Bio Sniper, but her clone dodges every attack. Her clone manages to score a punch on her chest, causing her to stumble back. Taking advantage of the opening, her clone fires at her. Shelby manages to recover in time to flip out of the way. She fires her Bio Sniper at her clone, who simply walks through the laser fire as if its nothing. She returns fire, shooting rapidly, and Shelby takes several hits as she drops her Bio Sniper and blown back by the force of the firepower.
Aaron readies himself as his clone growls and charges right at him. Aaron attempts to slash at it with his Bio Axe, but his clone surprises him with a fast attack, knocking him off-guard and pushing him forward in a tackle. Aaron is knocked off his feet and groans as he falls on his back. His clone attempts to attack him again, but Aaron slashes him across the chest and grabs his left arm, flipping him over and next to him. Aaron gets back on his feet and attempts to slash at his clone again, but his clone, moving fast, kicks him in the head and spins around as he gets back to his feet, slashing Aaron again with his Bio Axe and knocking him back again.
Tosha and her clone both launch themselves at her and slash at each other with their Lances. The two both score their hits on each other and they both fall down on the ground. Tosha's clone gets on her feet first and charges at her. Tosha throws her Bio Lance at her clone, but she quickly knocks it away and keeps charging. Tosha quickly takes out her Electro Sword and attempts to fight back, but her clone knocks her off-guard and slashes her several times across the stomach. Then she slams the shaft of her Lance in Tosha's face, stunning her, and then sweeps around and slashes her one last time. Tosha turns around and falls on her stomach, groaning in pain.
Colt is forced back as both his and Jordan's clone hit him with a barrage of slash attacks, barely able to defend himself. Colt manages to score a kick on Jordan's clone and knock her back, and as his clone momentarily glances at Jordan's clone, Colt takes to the offense and hits his clone with a barrage of slashes. He manages to push his clone back and knock him off his feet, but as he moves to attack him again, Jordan's clone comes up from behind and grabs him by his shoulders. His clone gets to his feet and slashes him rapidly against the chest. Colt groans as Jordan's clone lets him go and he falls flat on his stomach.
As the Rangers continue to struggle against their clones, Akihiro watches with interest. "Excellent!" he says. Right next to him, the generator continues whirring as the LCD display continues to climb, the screen now reading '79%' and still climbing.
Inside the dimensional rift, John and Kumiko are walking through the meadow holding hands. Kumiko smiles lovingly at John, who smiles back. "I really missed you Kumiko." John says. "I did too." Kumiko says. "Where are we going?" John asks. "You'll see soon!" Kumiko says, giggling. "This sure is beautiful." John says, admiring the meadow. "Reminds me of that one time we spent together on Kirassa." Kumiko blushes a bit. "Do you know if there is a way out of here though?" John asks. Kumiko looks at John with a surprised look on her face. "What?" she asks. "I mean," John says, "is there a way to get back to the real world?" "You want to go back?" Kumiko asks. "Well. . .I mean. . ." John says, stuttering in-between words, "No. . .I. . .Uhh. . .No. Sorry I asked." Kumiko smiles. "Its okay." she says. "But there is no way out. I've been here for months, unable to leave. Please don't leave me alone again." "Of course I won't." John says. "I'm sorry I even thought of it." The two take hands again and look at each other lovingly.
Back on Earth, Colt and Jordan's clones both slash at Colt again and knock him back. He bounces against the side of the Relentless Rogue before falling back down. "Colt!" Riley says as the other four Rangers rush to his side and help him up. The six Ranger Clones stand opposite to their opponents. "These guys are too strong." Aaron says. "Not to mention they technically outnumber us." "Let's try the Bio Blaster." Riley says. "If we max out its power, it may be just enough." "Right!" the Rangers say, and they all form the Bio Blaster.
"Bio Blaster!" Colt says as he holds it out and aims it at the Ranger Clones, the others taking their spots in the formation. However, as they prepare to fire, the Ranger Clones form their own Bio Blaster and aim it forward as well. The Rangers gasp. "They have one too?!" Aaron says. "Just fire!" Riley says. "Right!" Colt says, and he pulls the trigger. The Ranger Clones pull the trigger as well and both Bio Blaster's fire meets in the middle, the two blasts connecting as both sides struggle to hold on. The Rangers all groan as they try to stand their ground. The blast from the Ranger Clones' Bio Blaster's blast starts to push forward a bit. "Don't let up guys!" Colt says.
Still watching the battle, Akihiro's eyes light up as he smiles. "Its beautiful!" he says. Below him, the generator's power levels begin to climb higher, nearing '99%.'
The Rangers all cry out battle cries as they hold their position and their blast begins to push forward and then breaks through the line of fire. It hits the six Ranger Clones who all take the hit and vanish in a fiery explosion. The Rangers all cheer as they look on.
Bellow Akihiro, the generator's LCD begins whirring violently. Akihiro looks toward the generator in shock. "What's going on?" he asks. The LCD reaches '100%' but then suddenly starts shaking and whirring until it finally explodes. Akihiro screams in frustration. "What?!" he says. "What happened?!" "I guess that final attack gave it too much power to for it to handle!" Satsujin says. Akihiro turns around as the Rangers run up to him. "Your clones and your generator are history now!" Aaron says. "You're all that's left!" Akihiro glares at the Rangers. His eyes glow as he assumes his mutant form. "I'll make sure you join Johnny boy in Hell then!" he says angrily. He and Satsujin draw their swords, ready to attack.
But as they do, the ground suddenly starts shaking. Everyone watches as the Relentless Rogue suddenly takes flight. "What's happening?" Aaron says. Akihiro gasps in shock.
As the Relentless Rogue hovers in the air, it suddenly transforms. The front part of its thrusters fold out, with the front lights folding upward to become feet. The back part and its middle-cockpit module both fold upward, with hands and forearms extending from the front of its rear thrusters. A head folds out of the very back of the module. With this, the Relentless Rogue has transformed into its own Zord Mode.
Akihiro gawks at the site of his Zord. "It actually worked!" he said. "I have turned my ship into the ultimate weapon!" He runs forward toward it with Satsujin following him. The Rangers all gasp.
Akihiro jumps into the cockpit of the Relentless Rogue where two pilots seats are. Akihiro takes the left while Satsujin takes the right. "I have been waiting a long time for this day!" Akihiro says. He takes the controls.
The Relentless Rogue begins firing lasers from its chest and hands at it starts firing everywhere, incinerating everything in its sight.
The Rangers are blown back from the force of the fire. "How are we supposed to defeat that thing?" Aaron says. "We can't use the Ultrazord without John and Jordan." "We still have the other Zords!" Colt says. He takes out his Morpher. "Colonel!" he calls out.
Maddox nods and types in the code to launch the Zords.
Inside the Zord Holding Bay, the Bio Zords and Battle Zords all deploy. "LAUNCH SYSTEM ACTIVATED!" the voice announces.
As the Zords deploy, Colt jumps into the cockpit of his Bio Speeder and locks his Morpher onto the panel. "Combo Mode!" he says and hits the combination button on his Morpher.
"COMBINATION SYSTEM ACTIVATED!" the voice announces and the Rangers activate the Mega Bio Battlezord. "Mega Bio Battlezord!" the Rangers announce as its transformation completes.
The Mega Bio Battlezord stands against the Relentless Rogue. Inside the cockpit, Akihiro laughs. "You think your giant toys can beat this thing?!" he asks. "Not on your life!"
The Relentless Rogue charges forward at the Mega Bio Battlezord. "Tank Fire!" Colt says and the Mega Bio Battlezord fires lasers from its tank arm, but the Relentless Rogue just walks forward, unaffected by the fire. It quickly tackles the Mega Bio Battlezord and pushes it back several feet. Then it backs off and punshes it several times, moving too fast for the Mega Bio Battlezord to keep up. "Saw Slash!" Riley says. The Mega Bio Battelzord jabs its saw arm at the Relentless Rogue with its blade. It slashes the Relentless Rogue's chest several times, but it just stands there with the blade bouncing against it. Then the robot pushes forward and this the Megazord in the head. Inside the cockpit, the Rangers all groan as it shutters violently.
At the Bio Base, Maddox and Dawson watch the fight in fear. "Rangers!" Maddox says. "You can't take much more! The Mega Bio Battlezord is reaching critical overload! Get out of there!" "We can't Colonel!" Colt's voice says over the communicator. "We have to stop this thing!"
The Relentless Rogue fires a barrage of lasers from its arms at the Mega Bio Battlezord. The Megazord is quickly overwhelmed and takes several hits. Sparks fly from the cockpit as it shutters violently again and the Rangers all cry out in pain.
Colt quickly regains composure. "Take it to the air!" he says as he pushes forward on his controls.
The crippled Mega Bio Battlezord holds its arms out as the thrusters of the Battle Bomber barely kick in and lift it into the air. The Relentless Rogue looks up. "That's not going to work!" Akihiro says and he pulls back on his control stick.
The Relentless Rogue holds its arms out and the thrusters on its feet kick in as it takes flight too, flying to an opposite position of the Mega Bio Battlezord. The Rangers all gasp. "Go to full power!" Colt says. The Mega Bio Battlezord holds its arms out as it glows with energy. "Fire!" Riley says. The Mega Bio Battlezord aims its arms forward and fires its energy blasts at the Relentless Rogue. But the blasts simply hit ineffectively against the robot's chest and it fights back as it aims its own arms forward and fires its own energy blast right back at the Mega Bio Battlezord.
The Mega Bio Battlezord takes the hit. Inside the cockpit, sparks blast from the Rangers' consoles. The Megazord falls down until it hits the ground, parts of all the Zords lying everywhere.
Inside the cockpit of the Relentless Rogue, Akihiro laughs. "This weapon is unstoppable!" he says. "I've never felt so powerful!"
The Rangers all struggle as they crawl out of the wreckage of the Mega Bio Battlezord, all groaning in pain. They look up at the Relentless Rogue.As the Blackbird Zord continues its course through the sky, Jordan looks toward the communicator again, noticing no one trying to contact her. "I hope the others are okay." she says. "But I can't just abandon John!"
Inside the dimensional rift, Kumiko leads John to a beach just off the meadow. The wind blows through the two's hair. "Recognize this place John-san?" she asks. John looks around, smiling. "This looks a lot like the place we had that nice date." he says. "Correct!" Kumiko says. "Catch me if you can!" She starts running toward the ocean. John laughs as he chases after her. The two start splashing water at each other as they're playing in the ocean. Kumiko walks over to John and tackle hugs him, causing the two to fall into the water. The two are then seen lying on the beach to dry in the sun, holding hands. John smiles as he looks up to the sky. "This is just amazing." he says. "Its like as I've always dreamed." "Yes." Kumiko says. "Being together here by ourselves. Forever." John's eyes suddenly widen with a bit of shock as his smile turns into a concerned expression. "Forver." he says. "Right." He looks at Kumiko, who smiles at him. He smiles back.
The Rangers finally make it out of the wreckage. "Everyone okay?" Riley asks. "Yeah." Tosha says. "Think so." Aaron says. "We're not done yet!" Colt says. He takes out his Morpher. "Send the Bio Voyager Colonel!" he says.
Inside the Zord Holding Bay, the Bio Voyager deploys. "LAUNCH SYSTEM ACTIVATED!" the voice announces.
The Rangers all jump into the shared cockpit of the Bio Voyager and assume control. The Bio Voyager then starts charging toward the Relentless Rogue. "Up for a second round then?" Satsujin says. "Voyage Lasers!" Colt calls out, and the Bio Voyager begins spewing laser fire from all its cannons. The blaster bolts hit the Relentless Rogue, but they just bounce against it, completely useless.
"Megazord Mode!" Colt says.
"TRANSFORMATION SYSTEM ACTIVATED!" the voice announces as the Bio Voyager Megazord sequence is shown. "Bio Voyager Megazord!' the Rangers call out.
The Bio Voyager Megazord stands against the Relentless Rogue. "We need to stop him here!" Colt says. "We can't lose." Akihiro laughs. "Nothing you do can stop me!" Akihiro says. "Its no use!"
"Lasers! Fire!" Shelby says. The Bio Voyager fires lasers at the Relentless Rogue from the cannons on its knees and forearms. This time the laser fire does push the Relentless Rogue back a yard or two, but it still remains mostly unaffected. Akihiro laughs. "Stop that!" he says playfully. "It tickles!"
Akihiro and Satsujin both push forward on the controls and push their robot forward. The Bio Voyager Megazord moves forward and the two robots tackle each other. Moving fast, the Relentless Rogue scores several fast punches and kicks on the Megazord before it can even land a blow. The Rangers' cockpit shutters violently. "Take this!" Riley says. The Megazord attempts to throw a kick at the Relentless Rogue, but the robot grabs its foot before the blow can land. The Rangers gasp in shock and the robot spins the Megazord around several times before finally letting go and flinging it into a nearby mountain.
"We're getting killed out here Colonel!" Aaron says over the communicator. "We can't last much longer." "Have you tried contacting Jordan?" Dawson asks. Maddox shakes her head. "She's not answering." she says. Then her eyes light up as she hatches an idea. "But maybe if I can transfer the communication transmission to the Blackbird Zord, that'll get her attention." She starts typing in a code on a computer.
On the Blackbird Zord, Jordan hears the communicator beep again. She groans in disgust but she hits the respond switch. There's a loud bang and the Rangers are heard groaning in pain. Jordan looks on in shock. "Our main power supply is too low!" Shelby says. "Try kicking in the reserve power!" Tosha says. "That still won't be enough!" Shelby says. "We're not going to last much longer!" Jordan looks on, wondering what to do.
The Relentless Rogue fires a massive energy blast from its chest, which hits the Bio Voyager Megazord. Sparks fly from the consoles as the Rangers groan in pain. The Relentless Rogue fires again and scores a direct hit. Sparks blast out of the Megazord's chest as it retreats back. Fire has started coming out of the Rangers' consoles and they desperately try to shield themselves from it.
"Not much reserve left now!" Aaron's voice says. "Try rerouting all well-reserved power from the Command Center to the Voyager Julia!" Dawson's voice says. "Energy levels are failing!" Maddox says. "There's not much power I can reroute. Jordan keeps looking on. We zoom in to see her face within her helmet as she looks on, unable to know what to do. Finally, however, she speaks. "I'm sorry John." she says. "I promise I'll find you, but I have to help them too!" She turns the controls completely around and reverses the Blackbird Zord, flying toward the fight at full throttle. "I'm coming guys!" Jordan says.
"Divert our remaining power levels into one final attack!" Colt says. "Right!" the Rangers respond. "Full Power!" Colt says.
The Bio Voyager Megazord's arms glow as it prepares to make its karate chop attack. However, as it makes its move, the Relentless Rogue blocks the attack as it grabs both the Megazord's arms. "What?!" Colt says and the Rangers gasp in horror as they look on. Akihiro laughs. "Like I said." he says. "You're puny toys are completely useless against my weapon!"
The Relentless Rogue lets go of the Megazord and pushes it back. "We're almost out of power now!" Colt says. The Relentless Rogue fires one last energy blast from its chest and hits the Bio Voyager Megazord. Sparks fly from the burning consoles as the Rangers' cockpit shutters violently. The Bio Voyager Megazord falls backward and vanishes in a fiery explosion, components of it flying everywhere.
The Relentless Rogue stands over its victory. Akihiro clenches his fists in excitement. "I DID IT!" he says. "I HAVE DEFEATED THE POWER RANGERS!" He starts laughing hysterically.
Just outside the wreckage, Colt crawls out, limping forward for a few feet before collapsing. He drops out of Morph as he groans in pain.
Still inside the cockpit of the Bio Voyager Megazord, the other four Rangers, all having dropped out of Morph, lie unconscious inside the damaged cockpit.
The Relentless Rogue looks down at Colt. "Oh lookie here!" Akihiro says. "One little Ranger all by himself! We'll put him out of his misery!"
The Relentless Rogue aims its lasers at Colt, ready to finish him off, when its suddenly stopped by laser fire that comes in from its left. "Huh?" Colt says as he looks up. "What's that?" Akihiro says.
The Blackbird Zord flies right at the Relentless Rogue. "Hold on guys!" Jordan says.
Colt smiles. "Its Jordan!" he says.
Jordan continues to fire rapidly at the Relentless Rogue. The lasers continue to bounce helplessly against the robot's hull, but the robot becomes overwhelmed by the laser fire and is pushed back a few feet. Its left shoulder is revealed to be damaged from the line of fire. Akihiro growls in fury. "I should have known Johnny boy's idiot sister wouldn't have stayed out of this." he says. "We'd better retreat to let the ship recover!" Satsujin says. "Right!" Akihiro says.
The Relentless Rogue turns around and starts walking away in the opposite direction. Colt smiles as he barely manages to get to his feet.
Colt helps Riley and Aaron out of the wreckage, while Jordan does the same for Shelby and Tosha. The six all take shelter in the rocks just under the wreckage. "Everyone okay?" Colt asks. Aaron groans. "Well we survived." he says. "Sadly we can't say the same for the Zords though." Riley says. There's a long silence, but Jordan finally breaks it. "Its my fault." she says. "If I hadn't abandoned you guys, we could have fought Akihiro together. And none of this would have happened." Riley shakes his head. "No Jordan." he says. "I doubt there was anything you could have done to prevent any of this. Its just great that you were able to come when you did. Or things would have been a lot worse." Jordan smiles. "I won't abandon you guys again." she says. "I'm sorry." "Its okay Jordan." Tosha says. "We understand you're worried about John." "We all are." Aaron says. Everyone smiles. "We'd better get back to base and regroup." Colt says. Everyone nods. The Rangers all start walking toward the Bio Base, but Jordan remains behind. Colt looks back at her. "We will find John." he says. "I promise. Remember: we're a team. And we'll either die together or not die at all!" Jordan smiles. "Right!" she says. Colt holds out his hand and Jordan takes it. The two join the others as they walk back to the Bio Base.
Inside an abandoned warehouse, the Relentless Rogue is standing, docked within a holding section as automatic tools repair the damage on its shoulder. Akihiro stands behind Satsujin as she stands behind a console. "The damage to the shoulder is only minor." Satsujin says. "The armor just slightly broke after taking a little too much blaster fire. Nothing to be concerned about." Akihiro nods. "Repairs shouldn't be long." Satsujin finishes. Akihiro smiles. "Excellent!" he says. "I never thought I'd actually achieve this. Soon I will use my ultimate weapon to burn this world to a crisp. And then I'll move to the other parts of the universe! And no one will stop me! Not the Syndicate! Not Bio Force! Not even the Rangers!" He starts laughing maniacally again.
On the beach, John is sitting down on a blanket, smiling as Kumiko sets a picnic basket down. "A picnic?" he asks. Kumiko nods. "I've always wanted to know what one felt like!" John says. Kumiko smiles and hands John a plate. "Eat up John-san!" she says. "Gladly!" John says. He starts going through the basket, selecting his food. As he does, Kumiko looks at him, first lovingly. However, he look suddenly turns dark as her eyes start glowing. John looks up at her again, and her look turns lovingly again. She continues to eye John as we fade to black.
TO BE CONTINUED. . .
