Episode 450: Power Rangers RPM: America the Beautiful
In the Garage, the teens are arguing over whether or not they can trust Tenaya 7.
"That doesn't matter now" said K as she walks in "even if she isn't a spy, the Hyper Bot that the USA Rangers have been fighting recently is meant to gather data on our technology. If they continue to fight it, it will soon know enough to be able to easily destroy or take over"
"Who cares" said Dillon "we can't morph anyways"
"I've got an idea" said Tenaya "I can get the base codes used to make the Hyper Bot from Venjix's Lair, but I'll need help"
"I'll go" said Dillon
"You won't be able to take your Morpher" said Tenaya "or Venjix will be able to detect you"
"So be it" said Dillon and he removes his Rev Morpher and hands it to Summer
In Venjix's Lair, Tenaya and Dillon break in and go to the main room
"Venjix" said Tenaya "I've brought you the Black Ranger as a prisoner"
"You betrayed me!" said Dillon
"It's what I do" said Tenaya.
In Corinth, General Shifter activates the Hyper Bot, who grows. The USA Rangers appear and transform into the PaleoMax Megazord and battle it.
At the Garage, the teens and Dr. K monitor the battle
"This is not good" said K "my data shows that the Hyper Bot has nearly enough data to take control of the PaleoMax Megazord and with it, the USA Rangers.
"I've got to get him to call it off" said Scott and he goes to find his father
At Venjix's Lair, Tenaya goes to the mainframe and downloads the base code for the Hyper Bot onto a flash drive
"What are you up to?" Kilobyte asked as he approaches. Tenaya sees that the download is complete so she switches the screen to watch the battle and has her detachable hand deliver the flash drive to Dillon and release him. Kilobyte goes to check on Dillon and finds that he has escaped. He finds Tenaya's hand trying to return to her and he finds her "you traitor!" and he prepares to destroy her, but is attacked by Dillon. Dillon and Tenaya rush back to Corinth
At the Corinth Control Center, Scott is arguing with his father
"Don't you get it!" said Scott "Shifter could take control of the Megazord any moment! You've got to call it off"
"And what?" Truman asked "leave the city defenseless?"
"If you let us help" said Scott "we could send in the Road Attack Zord. It should be able to resist being controlled, as Dr. K didn't build it"
"She didn't build my Rangers either" said Truman
"She built the Paleozord" said Scott "and the suits are clearly based off of hers. And they even use Nitro Blasters and Cell Shift Morphers! Why do you want those Rangers anyways? And don't tell me that this is just about control"
"You're right" said Truman "let me show you something" and he goes to a box and pulls out an American flag "this is one of the last American flags in existence. Most of them were destroyed when Venjix first attacked and Rossi ordered the rest burned. While I admittedly do enjoy some of the power it gives me, I don't like this state of emergency, I realize that, for all intents and purposes, I'm really a military dictator. I want this war to end so I can lift the state of emergency, reinstate the Constitution, elect a president and Congress, restore the republic. Maybe even find a way to expand the Dome and take back my beloved country. With these Rangers, we may have a chance to finish this war"
"Dad" said Scott "I'm glad that you don't like being a dictator, that's a really good sign, but you've got to come to accept, that America is gone, it's never going to be restored, it was never meant to last forever"
"Yes it was" said Truman "it was meant to be the eternal City on the Hill"
"No, Dad" said Scott "it was meant to be a city on a hill, something special, but never eternal. You've got to let this go"
"I'm sorry Scott, I can't" said Truman as alarms go off and he turns to see the PaleoMax Megazord attacking the city "what's going on? USA Rangers cease and desist" but the Megazord keeps attacking "I've got an override here somewhere…" and he hits a button and the Megazord breaks apart and reverts to Rangers… that continues to attack the city "No!"
"Dad" said Scott "allow my team to morph, we'll stop this"
"Very well" said Truman "go out there and try to fix my mistakes" and Scott leaves
Downtown, the USA Rangers are trashing Corinth, when the teens all arrive.
"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
"Nitro Swords!" said the Red USA Ranger
"Cloud Hatchets!" said Gem and the RPM Rangers battle the USA Rangers
At the Garage, Tenaya get the flash drive to Dr. K and then vanishes
Elsewhere, the battle between the Rangers has raged throughout Corinth, and the USA Rangers have maneuvered it to be in the Corinth Control Center, so they can lower the shields as ordered by Shifter. Shifter ordered this in hopes that with the shields lowered, Venjix and the Rangers will destroy each other. A fire caused by the Rangers rages through the room. Colonel Truman tries to stay out the way as he looks on
"Colonel Truman" said K "I've got the codes to disrupt the fight, but they need to be broadcasted through the control tower to work. You need to turn tower on, the switch is mechanical, or I would do it myself"
"Right" said Truman and he goes to turn it on, but can't quite make it. He then notices the fire is about to burn the final American flag. He goes to grab it
"Dad!" said Scott "we can't hold them off much longer. We need you to broadcast the signal now!" and the Red USA Ranger sticks something on him, but he doesn't notice
"But…" began Truman, but then he noticed how close the USA Rangers were getting to turning off the shields. As a tear falls down his face, he makes his way to the switch for the tower and turns it on. The USA Rangers stop fighting and stand at attention. Colonel Truman rushes over to the flag, to find all that's left is ash
"Rangers" said K "the Hyper Bot is attacking the city again. I've also discovered we can combine all 12 Attack Zords into an Ultrazord. Form the Ultrazord and destroy the Attack Bot"
"Dad?" Scott asked
"USA Rangers" said Truman "follow my son's lead for this battle"
"Yes sir" said the USA Rangers and the Rangers rush out
"EAGLE RACER!" said Scott and the 1 on his chest glowed and a small Zord appeared from it. He opened it up and inserted Engine Cell 1 into it
"LION HAULER!" said Flynn and the 2 on his chest glowed and a small Zord appeared from it. He opened it up and inserted Engine Cell 2 into it
"BEAR CRAWLER" said Summer and 3 on her chest glowed and a small Zord appeared from it. She opened it up and inserted Engine Cell 3 into it.
"TAIL SPINNER!" said Ziggy and the 4 on his chest glowed and a small Zord appeared from it. He opened it up and inserted Engine Cell 4 into it.
"WOLF CRUISER!" said Dillon and the 5 on his chest glowed and a small Zord appears from it. He opened it up and inserted Engine Cell 5 into it.
"CROCODILE CARRIER!" said Ziggy and Dillon and the numbers on their chests glowed and the two halves of the Zord appear. They each insert an Engine Cell 6 into their half of the Zord.
"FALCON COPTER!" said Gem and the G on his chest glowed and a small Zord appeared from it. He opened it up and inserted Engine Cell 7 into it
"TIGER JET!" said Gemma and the G on her chest glowed and a small Zord appeared from it. She opened it up and inserted Engine Cell 8 into it
"WHALE!" said Gem and Gemma and the G on his chest glowed and a small Zord appeared from it. She opened it up and inserted Engine Cell 9 into it. They throw their Zords into the air and they grow and then the Rangers jump into them, inserting their Morphers into their consoles
"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
"I've got the codes, Doc" said Scott and he types 10 + 12 into his Cell Shift Morpher "RPM ULTRAZORD!" and the Zords combine into the RPM Ultrazord. The RPM Ultrazord attacks the Hyper Bot. Scott prepares to finish it off, but feels some pain in his chest
"Scott, you okay?" Summer asked
"ROAD ATTACK ZORD!" said Flynn and he pulls out the small Zord and inserts Engine Cell G Gold into it and throws it in the air, where it grows "ROAD ATTACK, BURN OUT!" and it knocks back the Hyper Bot
"WHEEL BLASTERS!" said Scott and Ranger Operators 1-5 turn their steering wheels into blasters
"SKYSHIFT BLAZERS!" said Gem
"ENGINE CELLS, ACTIVATE!" said Scott as they all insert the Engine Cell G Finisher into their weapons "FIRE!" and they destroy the Hyper Bot
"Power Down" said Scott and the Ultrazord disassembles and the RPM Rangers demorph as the USA Rangers return to Colonel Truman. Tenaya shows up to congratulate the Rangers, but she is captured by Kilobyte.
"No!" said Dillon
At the Garage, the teens and Dr. K watch a broadcast by Colonel Truman
"Good evening ladies and gentlemen" said Truman "as many of you know, I recently disbanded the RPM Rangers and replaced them with the USA Rangers. I did this out of a hope that the USA Rangers would be able to do what the RPM Rangers couldn't and defeat Venjix and then I would be able to restore the American government. I realize now that is no longer possible. We can't go back to what we were even if Venjix is gone. But that doesn't mean that we can't be something different. After Venjix is defeated, I will recruit Corinth's greatest political and military minds and draft a new constitution so that we can return to having republican government, not the same as before, but something that will work for us. I am also reinstating the RPM Rangers on a probationary basis, effective immediately. Finally, I am renaming the USA Rangers to the CDF Rangers. May God bless you all and may God bless the… City of Corinth"
At Venjix's Lair, Kilobyte informs Venjix that the Generation 15 attack bot is almost ready
"Excellent" said Venjix "along with the Bot I built with Rossi, and that fool Shifter, this should provide the perfect distraction I need to finish my newest weapon"
