On today's episode. . .
Usagi here. It's Hobby Week at Angel Grove High, er, wrong episode. Sorry -_-; There's a fair in Angel Gro...er, wrong episode again, sorry again. -_-; I think I have it now. A mysterious masked, tuxedoed guy invites all the local girls to the local mall...ugh, wrong episode again. -_-;;; Alright, who gave me these scripts? ... I give up.
Adam here. Stay tuned to this same Ranger station, same Ranger time for the upcoming episode of the United Alliance of Heroes. As my friend Usagi was trying to say, today she gets ready for high school here in America, but unfortunately the Machine Empire decides to give her some trouble. Thankfully, some unexpected help comes her way. Who is this mysterious person who came to Usagi's aid? Is it someone we already know? What does the Machine Empire have planned? Find out next!
Now on with the story. . .
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At Angel Grove's Shinto Temple. . .
The Rangers, Senshi, and the Moon Cats were helping Rei set her room up. Unfortunately, it was very uncoordinated with everybody trying to do one thing while another was trying to do something else.
Rei held her fingers to her mouth and whistled. "Would you guys slow down enough so you won't accidentally cause Usagi to drop something?"
"WAH! Rei-chan, why are you always being so mean to me?" whines Usagi.
"Please, Usagi-chan, stop the bawling. You're a young adult, for goodness sakes. Start acting like one," says Luna.
Usagi sniffles. "Sorry, everybody. I'm just like that."
"That's okay, Usagi," comforts Katherine. "It's one of your redeeming values."
Rei snorts.
"Rei-chan, you need to stop treating Usagi like that," says Ami.
"Why? Do you think people are going to treat her differently in the Real World whenever she starts crying like that? They are liable to kick her out of America." Rei bitches.
"That's not funny, Rei. You're right about the Real World part. But do you constantly have to be mean to her? You are, supposedly, after all, her friend," says Tommy.
A bell starts ring. Serena looks at her watch.
"Oh, my goodness, it's three o'clock! I'm need to go check in at the apartment complex where the rest of us are staying." And with that, she dashes out of the temple at high speed.
Rei shrugs as if to say, "See what I mean?" "I don't know why you let her take care of your living arrangements."
"Well, we thought it would be good for her to have a little responsibility," replies Makoto.
"Maybe I'd better go and keep an eye on her," says Luna.
"I'll join you, Luna," says Tanya.
"Thanks, Tanya," replies Luna. She hopes onto Tanya's shoulder as they walk out the door.
They hope into Tanya's yellow car and stop shortly down the street and pick up Usagi.
"Thanks, you two," says Usagi.
"Don't mention it, Usagi," replies Tanya.

Machine Skybase. . .
The Royal House of Gagdetry stands idly in the throne room as they wait for the new monster to be finished. Unfortunately, King Mondo is getting impatient.
"Klank, get in here NOW!" yells an angry King Mondo.
"Yes, sir!" says Klank as he enters with his partner, Orbus.
"Is the new monster ready yet, Klank?" cooes Queen Machina.
"Yes, my highness." He wave his arms in an introducing fashion. "I proudly present to you Rocket Racer, our fastest monster yet. He'll surely be a match for the Turbo Ranger."
"What good will that do us?!? They now have the help of the princesses of the planets of this solar system."
"Hey, pop, I think I've got something," says the Machine King's youngest son, Prince Sprocket.
"What is it, son?" asks King Mondo.
"One of the Power Punks and one of the Sailor Duffuses are alone at the Angel Grove Condominiums. Now would be a perfect time for the cogs to ambush them."
"Excellent, my son. Klank, Orbus, send Rocket Racer and the Cogs to Earth and attack them!" says Mondo.
"Yes, sir," says Klank.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Angel Grove Condominiums. . .
"Thanks for the ride, Tanya. I'm glad the superintendent wasn't too mad that I was late," says Usagi.
"Just don't make it a habit, Serena," laughs Tanya, "Or you may miss your classes."
"Yeah, you don't want to treat college like you did Ms. Haruna's classes," says Luna.
"Oh, Luna, I was younger then. I'm much more responsible now," replies Serena.
"Yeah, sure," retorts Luna.
"Slow down, you two, or we'll never get anything done," says Tanya.
"Alright, Tanya," says Luna.
They vacuum the floor and arrange the furniture. The final setting up will be done when the other senshi arrive later. Serena puts some pastel Ty® Beanie Babies® bunnies, that her Mamo-chan had gotten for her through some unknown means, in a display case on the mantle over a facsmilie fireplace.
They managed to get some other things set up when in walks an unfamiliar person.
"Hi, I'm Tiffani. I'm your next door neighbor and I wanted to stop by and say hello. I hope I'm not intruding."
"Oh, you're not." says Usagi. "Hi, I'm Usagi, and it looks like we are going to be neighbors."
"Do you need help setting up?" asks Tiffani.
"Um, uh, no thank you," replies Usagii.
*I'm getting strange vibes from this girl.* thinks Luna.
Suddenly, a dozen Cogs teleport in. Tiffani gasps and faints. Tanya and Serena assume battle stances.
"Is it safe to change?" asks Serena.
"I think so," says Luna from under the bed.
"Ninja Scout Power!" yells Serena. She dons her pink Ninja suit.
"Shift into Turbo! Dune Star Turbo Power!" yells Tanya. A belt appears on her waist. Then her suit materializes on her body. Finally, a helmet slides onto her head and the headlights light up.
Ninja Moon takes to the air and does a jump kick to a cog. Too bad she happened to have a little clutz attack right before she connected.
"Ugh! That was brutal," she moans. Four cogs surround her.
Meanwhile, the other eight cogs had ganged up on Tanya, and two of them were restraining her wrist so that she couldn't contact the Power Chamber. Serena tries to contact help, but she realizes that she had forgotten to put her new shiny communicator on that morning and left it at Katherine's house where she'd been staying until the apartment was ready.
"Time to go to up the level," Serena says to her self. "Moon Eternal, Make-up!" In an instant, Eternal Sailor Moon appears. She notices that the gang of cogs had knocked Tanya out and damaged her communicator. No help would be arriving soon.
"What to do? What to do?" she whines to herself. Then she snaps her fingers as she gets an idea. She reaches up to her tiara, which had been restored to her forehead with the henshin power-up, and removes it to charge the energy needed.
"Moon Tiara Magic!" she yells and throws it. It flies around and damages the cogs and knocks them down. They disappear.
Unnoticed except by Luna, Orbus had floated into the room and stopped over Tiffani. She noticed a blue light increasing in brightness on Orbus's torso. Suddenly, the beam of light emerges from Orbus' body and engulfs Tiffani, revealing the Rocket Racer.
"Time to get to work, Rocket Racer," says Orbus. "Do a good job and Mondo just may have you enlarged to city-wrecking proportions."
"I'm ready and able," says Rocket Racer.
Sailor Moon sees Rocket Racer and attempt to punch him.
"You're going down, Sailor Ditz," gloats the monster.
"Where's Tiffani?" ask Sailor Moon.
"Oh, her? She was me. Actually modelled after a particular person," says Rocket Racer.
"Well, you're not going to get away with this. You've trampled our beautiful living room, and I'm not going to let you get away with it! Ai to seigi no, seeraa fuku bishoujo senshi, Sailor Moon! Tsukini kawatte, oshiokyi!"
"If I could understand you, I'd be worried."
"Well, then, for the language-impaired, I am sailor-suited pretty soldier of love and justice, Sailor Moon! On behalf of the Moon, I'll punish you!" Sailor Moon brings out her Eternal Tier. "Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss!" she yells to execute her attack. It hits the monster, but only weakens it, since it was an actual monster and not a human turned into a phage.
"Now it's my turn," says the monster as it goes super-fast and spins around Sailor Moon and making her dizzy and zonk out. Suddenly, an object hits him.
"Huh, what was that?" he takes ahold of the object and sees that it is a tiara similiar to the one the Sailor Senshi wore. But he sees no one around except for the two knocked-out warriors. Then it comes.
A light grey cat jumps and scratches his face.
"Ow, you'll pay for that!" he yells.
"I don't think so!" yells a new voice.
In the doorway stands. . .the pink-haired warrior for love and justice. . .Sailor ChibiMoon!
"Agent of love and justice, the pretty sailor soldier of the future, Sailor Moon! On behalf of the future moon, I'll punish you!" she yells and jump kicks him.
Sailor Moon slowly awakens to see someone else fighting the monster. "Sailor Chibi-Moon? Sailor ChibiMoon!" she yells and distracts the not-so-small warrior. ChibiMoon gets smacked and thrown against a wall.
"Thanks a lot, Eternal Sailor Moon," she moans.
"I'm outta here," says Rocket Racer.
"Are you okay?" Diana asks Sailor Moon and Eternal Sailor Moon.
"Yeah, we're okay, but we need to take care of Tanya over there," says Sailor Moon. "But first, what this 'I am Sailor Moon!' crap you were sprouting, Chibimoon?" She has a disgusted
Luna comes out from under the bed.
"Usagi!" she yells. Then she notices the pink-haired lady and the grey kitten. "Chibiusa! Diana!"
"Ohayou, Luna!" greets Chibiusa.
"Mother." Diana returns the greeting in a most unlovely fashion.
"Come on, you two, we need to hurry to find the other rangers," says Sailor Moon as she de-morphs into Serena. "Unfortunately, we can't teleport, so we'll have to walk. Thankfully, the Shinto Temple isn't too far from here. Come on and help, Chibi-Usa."
"No, I'm okay, just a little dizzy," says a weakened Tanya, who demorphs automatically.
"Can you drive, Tanya? asks Serena.
"I don't think so. Can you?"
"Sure I can."
"Now we're in trouble," comments Luna as she and Chibiusa sweatdrops.

Machine Skybase. . .
Mondo was happy with the turn of events. The Yellow Ranger was out of the game. Now was the time to execute the rest of his plan.
"Klank! Get down there and make our marvelous machine grow," says the Machine King.
"Right away, my sire," says Klank as he leaves with Orbus in tow. "Come along, Orbus."
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Shinto Temple. . .
Tanya had been put to bed to rest and the other Rangers and Senshi had been called to the temple.
"It was horrible, Artemis," says Luna.
"I can imagine," replies Artemis.
"Well, we did get here in one piece, mother," says Diana harshly and stalks off.
"Is something wrong with her?" Luna asks Chibi-Usa.
"Well. . .she and your future self were having some troubles when we were required to leave and they didn't have time to resolve it" Chibiusa responds.
"What are you doing here, Small Lady?" asks Makoto.
"Well, Mother said you were going to need my help in the road to come with the reappearance of Beryl and her joining forces with Zedd and Rita, and the eventual occurence of the Millenium Message."
"I just thought of something," says Justin. "When Blue Senturion was sent to us with that message, we only got part of it. We got up to the part where it said, 'The only force able to stop them is...' Do you know what it could be?"
"I'm sorry, Justin, I don't know. Even in the future, we still don't know what the entire message was," replies Chibiusa.
"The future!?" exclaims Tommy. "You mean to say you come from the future? Can you tell us anything about what lays down the road of the future?"
"Tommy, Tommy. You of all people should know how dangerous it is to tamper with time," says Chibi-Usa. "Puu would have my head if I say anything I know, which I don't. Mama just said it was necessary for me to be here at this time."
Suddenly, everybody felt the ground shake and they scrambled outside to see what was going on. They were shocked to see a giant monster attacking Angel Grove and they had not heard anything from Alpha.
"What could be going on?" asks Kat.
"Why didn't we hear from Alpha?" asks Ami. She taps her communicator. "We were able to call each other and teleport here." She tests her communicator in an attempt to contact Dimitria. Nothing happens.
"Communications and teleportation with the Power Chamber must be out. Is there an outside terminal for the communicators?" asked Ami.
"Why yes there is," says Tommy. "It's at the Juice Bar in Billy's old locker there. He showed it to me when I joined the team. I don't think he ever bothered to remove it. So it should still be there."
"Well, let's take care of this monster first," says Minako.
"But without Tanya, we can't form the Turbo Megazord," says Adam, who had been at Tanya's side while she rested. "The Ninja Megazord will be overmatched by a Machine Empire monster."
"We'll just have to take that chance," replies Rei.
Adam shakes his head and sweatdrops. "Where have I heard that before, I wonder?"
Tommy laughs. "Cut that out, Adam. It isn't that funny."
"Well, let's go!" says Mina.
"It's Morphin' Time!" yells Rei.
"Where did they get that phrase?" asks Adam. The other Rangers see Katherine with a smile on her face.
"Moon Eternal, Make-up!" "Mercury Ninja Power, Make-up!"
"Mars Ninja Power, Make-up!" "Jupiter Ninja Power, Make-up!"
"Venus Ninja Power, Make-up!"
Chibi-Usa begins her transformation, but Sailor Moon stops her.
"No, Chibi-Usa. You're not ready to handle one like this. Come, on, Luna and Artemis." Without further ado, the Senshi left.
"But, Mother. . ."

In Angel Grove Park. . .
Diana had been roaming around in tears. She shouldn't have really been so discourtesy to the past Luna. This Luna hadn't done anything to hurt her, she probably did not even know what her future self had done.
Suddenly, a large shadow covered her. She looked up to see a large, um, foot about ready to squash her. It was coming down fast when she was knocked out of the way by. . .Luna!?!
"Are you okay, Diana?" Luna asks.
"Yeah, but why did you save me after the way I treated you before?"
"Because you're my future daughter and I'll always love you. But I am wondering why you were acting this way."
"I'll tell you later, I promise," replies Diana.
"Good," says Artemis as he dashes up. "Now let's get to cover! I don't really feel like toejam today." The foot was coming down again.
A few feet away, the Senshi were doing their zord-calling pose. They held their right arms up in the sky. Then they brought them to their side with their left hand. Lastly, they pointed their right arms down.
"We need Ninjazord power, NOW!" they yell.
The control panels of the zords light up and activate. The zords rush out of their hiding places and the Senshi enter the command cockpits.
"Ninja Megazord, Power Up!" yells Sailor Moon.
In a moment, the Megazord comes together and strikes a battle pose.
"Am I suppose to be impressed?" asks the Rocket Racer. "Try this on for size!" And with that, it starts moving at super speeds that not even the Turbo Megazord, when assembled, could match. It gets faster and faster, going around the Megazord.
"Wwwwwaaaaaahhhhh! I'm getting dizzy!" wails Sailor Moon so loud that her red odango discs amplify it and distract the monster (thought you'd never see that power again, did ya?). Unfortunately, the effects are only momentary and the monster is back to its dirty tricks.
"Ninja Megazord Power Punch!" yell the Senshi and the Megazord executes it finishing move. Unfortunately, they miss.
"Nah nah, you'll never get me!"
"I am the falcon, just and able!" Suddenly, a horrendous screech is heard. The Rocket Racer and the Senshi look up to see a falcon coming toward them. To be more exact, the Ninja Falconzord with Sailor ChibiMoon at the helm.
"Falconzord attack mode!" yells ChibiMoon. The Falconzord moves to a vertical position. Its head folds down so it is facing forward again. The wings come forward and the legs come up.
"Missles, fire!" Missles fire from the wing tips toward the monster, and hit, causing some minor explosions to ripple across its body.
"Need a hand, or in this case, wing?" asks ChibiMoon.
"But how?" asks Sailor Moon.
"I can't believe Ninjor didn't tell you anything! ... Nevermind, I can believe that. Just watch. Ninja MegaFalconZord, power up!" The Ninja Megazord jumps into the sky and connects with the Falconzord, forming the Ninja MegaFalconZord.
ChibiMoon appears in the Megazord cockpit in the position that Tommy as the White Ranger had filled when the Power Rangers had used the Ninjazords before becoming the Power Rangers Zeo. She looks to her left, where Sailor Moon was sitting.
"Bet you're glad to see me! Tehehe," ChibiMoon laughs.
"So let's finish this beast," says Sailor Mars.
"Ninja MegaFalconZord Double Power Punch!" they yell. The Ninja MegaFalconZord flies through the sky, gathering kinetic energy. Then it goes into a dive, heading straight toward the monster.
"Full Power, NOW!" yells Sailor Moon. Energy surges through the Falconzord and channels itself through the red and blue
zord. The Megazord crashes into the monster, causing it to explode. The Megazord does its victory pose.

Machine Skybase. . .
"Darnit, those annoying Sailor Senshi have beaten us again. I won't stand for it any longer!" yells King Mondo.
"Watch your oil pressure, dear," says Machina.
"I want to know whose fault it was that we lost!" demands Mondo.
"It was Klank and Orbus, pops. I was perfect," squeaks Sprocket.
"My majesty, I beg to differ. . ." begins Klank.
"Shut up! I'm getting a gearache," says Mondo.
A ringing is heard. Mondo activates his viewing gear. Rita Repulsa appears on it.
"I'm getting tired of you and Divatox. STOP STEALING MY LINES!" she screeches.
"Blasted bit..., er, witch," mutters Mondo.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Youth Center. . .
Luna, Artemis, and Diana were laying out in the sun on the porch of the outdoor portion of the Youth Center.
"So, Diana, you promised you would tell me why you and my future self were having problems before you left. So what's the story?" asks Luna.
"Well..." starts Diana as she starts to blush, "I saw you with another cat."
"What!?!" screams Luna before she realizes where she is. Her eyes start watering and she sweatdrops.
"Yeah. His name was, Riff, no, Rank, no, that's not it. It sounded like the code name for a Super Sentai hero."
"Red Battler?" asks Luna, frightened.
"Yeah, that was it."
"But, how did he manage to survive to Crystal Tokyo?" asks Luna.
"You said he was a Rainbow Crystal carrier, right?" Artemis asks Luna.
"Uh-huh," stammers Luna in shock.
"It may be possible that having carried a Rainbow Crystal in him was what allowed him to stay alive so long. Anyways, you were saying you saw Luna with Red Battler. . ."
* * * * * *
"So you're okay, Tanya?" asks Usagi.
"Yeah, those Shinto healing riturals really helped," says Tanya.
"So, Chibiusa, what's your relation to Usagi and the girls" asks Tommy.
"Well..." Chibiusa stops and looks at Usagi, a question in her eyes. Usagi nods her head in acknowlegdement.
"As you know, I'm from the future, and Usagi is... my mother, though I still find that hard to believe, no matter how much evidence I am provided."
"Mother?" questions Justin.
"It's a long story," says Usagi. "We'll tell you guys later."
"So which locker was Billy's?" Ami asks Tommy.
"This one right here," he says. He does the combination and opens it up. Some of Billy's stuff was in still there, but no sign of the Communicator relay.
"Just great," mutters Tommy. "He finally decides to do some spring cleaning in his locker and he doesn't tell us that he removed the relay and where he put the relay."
"Maybe he was getting revenge for how we treated him last year when we were the Power Rangers Zeo and he was just the technical lackey," Adam grins.
"Well, what matters," says Usagi, a donut stuffed into her mouth "Is that we need to either find the relay and fix it or hike our way to the Power Chamber and see if Alpha and Dimitria can do some realigning of the Communications system.
"And I still don't understand why you guys can contact each other, but not your headquarters," says Chibiusa.
"And with you not having your own communicator yet, Chibiusa," says Tommy, "I'd like you to make sure you're with at least one of us at all times until this little fiasco is over."
"Hey, I just thought of something," says Usagi.
"I thought I smelled something burning," says Rei.
"That would be Lt. Stone's pizzas, Rei," says Katherine. "He still hasn't gotten the hang of running this place."
"What were you going to say, Usagi?" asks Mina.
"Just that, WHERE'S MY MAMO-CHAN!?!?!" screams Serena.
"You know, now that I think of it," says Makoto, "I haven't seen him around either."
"Now we've got a few mysteries on our hands," says Justin.
To be continued. . .
Next Time: The answers to the questions of where the relay are and where has Mamoru been may or may not come forth. Don't like that, tough noogies! :). Oh, and some more excitement.
Sailor Says:
Usagi: Hey, all my fans! Aren't you all glad?
Rei: Why should they be? We all know they came to see me!
Usagi: Why you little, dirty, backstabbing. . .
Rei: Meatball Head!
Tommy: Slow down, you two. Everybody knows that the fans are watching because of me!
Justin: And I'm sure more people will watch once you're off this fall.
Tommy: What?!?
Adam: Yeah, Tommy, it's you're fault that after one or two more fanfics, we're getting canned.
Tommy: $@&%*^!# off!
Luna: Tommy! Watch your language! There are little children present.
Rini: ::giggles::
Adam: [to Tommy] Make me! At least I'll be coming back in the next PR incarnation as the Silver Ranger.
Tommy: Like that's written in stone yet.
Dimitria: Tommy, what do you think the repercussion should be for your dirty word?
Tommy: Now you're punishing me for cursing once?
Dimitria: ::infuriated:: I ASK THE QUESTIONS AROUND HERE! Now what should his punishment be?
Katherine: Not getting to morph for the last few episodes.
Makoto: But he's needed for "Honey, I Shrunk The Rangers" and "Passing The Torch".
Minako: Besides I think being thrown off the show is enough punishment.
Tanya: What does the almighty Satan, er, hehe, Saban or whoever want?
Lackey: Kick the bum off.
T.J., Carlos, Ashley, & Cassie: Hey, is it time for us yet?
Everybody else: NO!
Chibiusa: Let's just end this here, we're getting off track. Here's a lesson: we need to work on keeping these
little 'lessons'short. And maybe a little teamwork too... Sailor Moon says, teehee!
Usagi: Hey, that's *MY* line, you little spore. ::chases Rini::
Luna: The more things change, the more things remain the same. Luna says. ::sigh::
Author: ::sighing:: These guys are getting out of hand.
Cast: WHO ASKED YOU!?!
Author: Eeeeeeek!
Bloopers: Tanya's car won't start after Usagi gets in; Chibi-Usa falling on her mother's head... again; the locker
explodes in everybody's faces with a message from Billy, going something like "No, no, no, you didn't say the magic words."
(Someone's been watching too much Jurassic Park...)
