Tyler/Adam: right

They each take one and run to help the customers in trouble. Jackie and Toni run inside the store while Kate turns her attention to the monster who has been waiting patiently while Kate was dealing with that.

Kate: let's do this

Monster: (drawing sword) yes

Kate draws her sword and the two charge at each other and the battle begins. We can see that Kate has indeed done this before as she is able to match the monster blow for blow. If there is any difference it is definitely in Kate's favor.

Monster: (panting) she's tougher than she looks. (draws second sword) time to step up my game.

The battle continues. This time, however, the monster is the one who has the upper hand and Kate is put on the defensive.

Kate: what….? How am I losing this fight.

The monster raises its sword and starts bringing it down on Kate. Suddenly he is hit by two blaster bolts. Kate turns around to see Adam and Tyler standing there with the blasters pointed at the monster.

Kate: (sighing) thanks Adam, thanks Tyler (realizing her mistake) shit!

Tyler: (taking blaster from Adam and handing both to kate) here you go Kate.

Tyler holds both blasters out for Kate to take. Kate takes them and holsters them.

Kate: thanks now get inside.

Adam/Tyler: right

They both rush back inside the store and Kate turns her attention back to the monster.

Monster: looks like your secret is out ranger.

Kate: shut up (squeezing morpher) battle mode

Kate is surrounded by a bright light. When it disappears she Is wearing white armor similar to what Psyclone was wearing in her battle with Laura.

Kate: let's finish this (holding out hand) dragon battle weapon

A halberd appears in Kate's gauntleted hand.

Monster: bring it on white ranger.

Kate: I intend to

The battle, once again, resumes. A look inside the store shows the employees watching the battle and cheering Kate on. Kate steps back and runs her hand along the halberd. The halberd starts glowing red.

Kate: time to finish this. (backing away)

She swings the halberd and a blast of energy fires from it and hits the monster. Kate turns around as the monster explodes.

Kate: phew. Glad that's over. (hiding behind a car) power down

The armor disappears and Kate goes inside the store. She walks up to Tyler, Adam, Jackie and Toni.

Kate: I need to speak with the four of you in private.

They go up to the break room, close the door and sit down at a table.

Kate: listen I just wanted to say thank you for your help back there. You four were very brave standing against the drazors like that. (to Adam and Tyler) and thanks again for the save back there I don't know what would've happened had you not been there when you were.

Toni/Jackie: wait that was you?

Kate: yes it was. Listen that's the other thing. You four can't tell anyone that im a power ranger. If you did you'd be putting them, and yourselves, in serious danger. Do I make myself clear?

All four: yes Kate.

Kate: good

Adam: what if someone asks why you wanted to talk to us?

Kate: tell them it's none of their business.

Adam: ok

Kate: good you can go

The four leave the room but Kate stays sitting down.

Kate: (to herself) I can't believe I blew my cover on my first day as a ranger.
