Episode 443: Power Rangers RPM: In or Out

At the edge of Corinth, Tenaya 7, and Generals Shifter, and Crunch manage to get through the shield

"What do humans need to live?" Tenaya asked

"Food" said Shifter

"Water" said Crunch

"Television" said Shifter

"I was referring to air" said Tenaya

At the Garage, Dr. K introduces the teens to Gem and Gemma

"Gem and Gemma were able to escape Alphabet Soup with the Sky Morphers" said K "and have been fighting against Venjix ever since"

"We like to shoot first and" began Gem

"ask questions later" finishes Gemma

"Gem and Gemma have confronted me with the possibility that, in an effort to protect myself from future emotional trauma, I may have treated some of you with a degree of forced emotional detachment, perhaps even bordering on coldness" said K

"'Bordering on coldness,' you say?" Flynn asked

"That's ridiculous, Doctor" said Summer

"You must be imagining it" said Dillon

"No, no, I'm afraid it's true. My insistence on referring each of you by your color series instead of by your real names is a perfect example. And, so, as your mentor…" said K

"Mentor?" Ziggy asked "How can you be our mentor? Aren't we all older than you?"

"As your mentor, in an effort to make my feelings clear in an official capacity, I have the following announcement" said K as she walks towards Scott "Ranger Series Red, I greatly admire your honor, integrity, decision-making ability, and unusual hair. I feel lucky to have you as the leader of my team, Scott"

"Well, thank you, Doctor" said Scott as Dr. K hugs him "whoa, what are you what are you doing?" and Dr. K moves onto Summer

"Ranger Series Yellow, as the only other female in the group, I want you to know that my feelings of fondness for you are so strong, they override even my base biological instincts to undermine and sabotage you in an effort to monopolize the attention of the males. Thank you, Summer" said K

"Sure, Doctor, the feeling's mutual, I think" said Summer as Dr. K hugs her. Dr. K moves towards Flynn

"Ranger Series Blue, your passion, optimism, and delightfully musical, though often incomprehensible, accent are what make you the heart of the Rangers, Flynn" said K

"Happy to help out in whatever… okay" said Flynn as Dr. K hugs him and moves onto Dillon

"And Ranger Series Black" said K "Even though you are clearly psychologically unstable and here against your will as part of a work-release agreement, I still consider you a true hero, Dillon" and she hugs him. She goes over to Ziggy, who offers her a hug "You, too, Ranger Series Green" and then she goes and stands by Gem and Gemma

"You five are the only family I've ever known. I love you all very much" said K and she returns to her lab with Gem and Gemma

"Well, that was certainly… awkward" said Summer

"Can we please just forget that happened and get back to work now?" Dillon asked

"Hey, hold on! What about me? What about all of the nice things you wanted to say about me?" said Ziggy as alarms go off and the teens rush off

At the Corinth Oxygen Regeneration Plant, Tenaya 7 Grinders, and the Generals are wreaking havoc

"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

"Nitro Swords!" said Scott and Summer battles the Generals while Dillon battles Tenaya 7 and the rest take on the Grinders. Tenaya 7 turns on one of the massive fans which begins sucking the Rangers towards it. All of them except Ziggy manages to grab hold of something, and he gets sucked towards the fan

"It doesn't seem right destroying the Rangers with their own city's recycled oxygen, but I'm going to go ahead and do it anyway. What can I say, I'm just rotten to the core" said Tenaya as Gem and Gemma burst in and save Ziggy. Tenaya and the Generals retreat as Gem and Gemma try to pursue, but Scott stops them

"We need to regroup" said Scott

In the Corinth Control Center, Colonel Truman debriefs the teens

"There's a massive army of Grinders outside the Dome" said Truman

"What are we waiting for?" Gem asked

"Let's go kick some Venjix butt!" said Gemma

"No" said Truman "we need to seal out the enemy and increase the energy in shield"

"But wouldn't it be better" said Gem

"To simply blow them up" said Gemma

"Sir" said Hicks as he enters the room "with the damage to the oxygen plant, we'll need to rely on the air in the Dome for a month"

"That's why I need to charge up the Dome" said Truman "we don't want to allow any oxygen to escape"

"Good luck" began Gem

"with that" finished Gemma

"Once I overcharge the shields" said Truman "I won't be able to lower them for several hours"

"Meh" said Gem

"Maybe they have a point" said Scott "maybe we do need to go on the offensive for once"

"And put the last city not under Rossi's control at risk?" Truman asked "What are you two trying to do exactly?"

"We're trying" said Gem

"To win" said Gemma

"Why? What are you trying" began Gem

"To do, Colonel?" Gemma finished and they leave

At Venjix's Lair, he tells the others his plan

"With the shields overcharged" said Venjix "they won't be able to lower the shields for hours. When they raise the shields, the Vacuum Bot will suck all the oxygen out of Corinth, killing them all"

In the Garage, Dr. K discovers a small crack in the Dome. Not enough to send anything through, but Venjix could take advantage of it

In the Corinth Control Center, Colonel Truman orders Corporal Hicks to raise the shields

"Don't" said Scott "Venjix is up to something. He's not stupid, he knows that you'll strengthen the shields after losing the oxygen plant. You're walking into a trap"

"I'm sorry" said Truman "we have to do this"

"Gem and Gemma are right" said Scott "we can't just hide in here"

"Son, you know the plan" said Truman

"Yeah, I know the plan, but this time I'm not following it" said Scott and he races off, managing to make it out before the shields are lowered

At the Venjix Outpost outside of Corinth, Gem and Gemma are wondering what it's purpose is when Scott shows up

"I think Venjix is trying to take advantage of the shields being raised to maximum power" said Scott "Gem, you distract the Grinders, Gemma, you're with me"

"We never" began Gem

"Split up" finished Gemma

"There's a first time for everything" said Scott

"Okay" said Gem and Gemma

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

"RANGER OPERATOR SERIES GOLD!" said Gem

"RANGER OPERATOR SERIES SILVER!" said Gemma

"Cloud Hatchet!" said Gem and he fights the Grinders as Scott and Gemma explore the outpost, placing charges along the way

In the Corinth Control Center, Colonel Truman gets a message from Dr. K

"Colonel Truman" said K "oxygen levels are rapidly dropping"

"Scott was right" said Truman, realizing he just sentenced everyone in the Dome to death

In the Venjix Outpost, Scott and Gemma find the Vacuum Bot near the crack in the Dome, sucking the oxygen out

"Hey you!" said Scott and the Vacuum Bot turns, bot Gemma just blasts it as Scott places the final charge "Gemma, time to go!"

"Time to go, boom!" said Gemma as they race off and the Vacuum Bot races after them. They meet up with Gem and race out of the Outpost, which then explodes. However, the Vacuum Bot crawls out

"Nitro Blaster!" said Scott "Engine Cell, Activate!" and he inserts Engine Cell 1 into his Nitro Blaster

"SKYSHIFT BLAZERS!" said Gem as they combine their Sky Morphers with their Cloud Hatchets "ENGINE CELL, ACTIVATE!" and he inserts Engine Cell 7 into his SkyShift Blazer

"ENGINE CELL, ACTIVATE!" said Gemma and she inserts Engine Cell 8 into her SkyShift Blazer

"FIRE!" said Scott and the blast destroyed the Vacuum Bot

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

Flynn and Summer run up, Ziggy having teleported them out through the vents, with him and Dillon staying behind to protect the city. Summer is carrying a briefcase

"Dr. K sent presents" said Summer and she opens the briefcase to reveal Attack Zords 1-3 and 7-8 in their small form

"EAGLE RACER!" said Scott and he grabbed the small Eagle Racer. He opened it up and inserted Engine Cell 1 into it

"LION HAULER!" said Flynn and he grabbed the small Lion Hauler. He opened it up and inserted Engine Cell 2 into it

"BEAR CRAWLER" said Summer and she grabbed the small Bear Crawler. She opened it up and inserted Engine Cell 3 into it

"FALCON COPTER!" said Gem and he grabbed the small Falcon Copter. He opened it up and inserted Engine Cell 7 into it

"TIGER JET!" said Gemma and she grabbed the small Tiger Jet. She opened it up and inserted Engine Cell 8 into it. They throw their Zords into the air and they grow and then the Rangers jump into them, inserting their Morphers into the control panels

"HIGH OCTANE MEGAZORD!" said Scott and the Megazord and Zords battle the Vacuum Bot, but can't defeat it

"Rangers" said K "you can combine the Falcon Copter and Tiger Jet with the Megazord

"HIGH OCTANE MEGAZORD: FALCON & TIGER!" said Scott and Zords combine with the Megazord "BOW & ARROW!" and the attack destroys the Attack Bot

Later, at the Garage, Dr. K debriefs the teens

"Oxygen levels have returned to normal" said K "I want to add positive reinforcements to our debriefings so… Scott, as usual your judgment and leadership were impeccable. Summer, you served admirably as leader in Scott's brief absence and I love those shoes. Flynn, excellent work as always. Dillon, you showed amazing courage. Gem, Gemma, you guys have made me proud" and she turns to Ziggy "And you… I…" but the alarms go off and everyone but Ziggy runs out

"Wait, you weren't finished" said Ziggy "Come on this could be the last time you ever see me! I'm serious!"
