Somewhere in the dark underworld, there is a plan.
A plan of sovereignty.
-As the text of the story continues to scroll about, clips from the five part episode, "To the Rescue" begin to show-
One day, two chipmunks named, Chip Maplewood and Dale Oakmont, had an interest in becoming detectives.
Their journey began by way of preparing for take off on a paper airplane, which lead the two chipmunks to go where no chipmunk had ever gone before.
After that unique flight, they met up with a police canine friend of theirs named, Plato, via a car chase.
During the chase, they discovered about a ruby that was stolen by a thug named, Percy.
A huge crime lord named, Aldrin Klordane, had planned to use the ruby as a cue for a big larceny.
So Chip and Dale went with Plato to help track down and investigate on the case of the ruby at a lumbar warehouse along with Plato's human pet and fellow detective, Donald Drake, a cop who was set on to retire within that next upcoming month after twenty-five years on the job.
Once there, Chip and Dale manage to distract Percy with their antics and caused him to lose the ruby when Plato administered his patented Crime Bite to Percy's backside.
The heroes all successfully got back the ruby and had it brought over to the police station for hopes of evidence to send Klordane to justice.
Unfortunately moments later, the ruby was stolen again by Aldrin Klordane's grey Tabby pet cat, Fat Cat.
Fat Cat snuck the object in Donald Drake's trenchcoat.
Donald and Plato got falsely accused for that whole predicament.
In an unfortunate turn of events, they were then sent to jail while Fat Cat returned the ruby to Aldrin and the criminal duo escaped with it.
Chip and Dale witnessed the whole thing and knew that Donald and Plato were innocent.
So therefore, they made their way inside Donald and Plato's cell and influenced Plato that they could do the police work just as well as him and Donald could as they have studied all of their cases and helped them try to get that ruby back.
Convinced Plato sent the two rodents on a mission to find Klordane at his and Fat Cat's hideout called the Happy Tom Cat Food Factory.
Chip and Dale then went off to investigate on bringing back the ruby by way of clearing Donald and Plato's names.
Once at the factory, the two rodents beheld the ruby and watched as Fat Cat swept it away.
Chip and Dale then witnessed Fat Cat with the ruby as he suited up and greeted his three cronies, Mepps the alley cat, Wart the lizard, and Mole the unimaginatively-named mole.
The four villians made their way to Fat Cat's casino, which was in the giant novelty cat on top of the factory.
Fat Cat's casino was set for him to use to hide his upcoming special treasure.
He looked to his patrons, especially his henchmen, for a bountiful stockpile of valuables such as gold and diamonds.
Fat Cat showed them the ruby to indicate a great example of it.
Meanwhile, Chip and Dale snuck their way into the casino to find out that everything was to be earned to Fat Cat, partially by way of the ruby.
So as Chip and Dale tried to retrieve the ruby, they unfortunately got caught by Fat Cat and his gang.
Fat Cat had Mepps drop the two chipmunks off their roof, and then Fat Cat had assumed that he had seen the first and last of them.
However, Chip and Dale fleed from their doom, and their chase continued on as Fat Cat and his gang took off with the ruby.
As their quest continued, Chip and Dale eventually stumbled their way into a cargo hold inside a large cargo boat.
There, they came across their first companion teammate, Monterrey Jack, a burley strongman cheese obsessed mouse.
At the same time, they came across Monterrey's pal, Zipper, a stealthy blue housefly that could get anywhere for an insect his size.
As Fat Cat's pursuit continued, he dumped Monterrey and Zipper's house trunk down into the sea.
So Monterrey Jack and Zipper joined Chip and Dale on their quest.
As the chase continued on, the rodent quartet made their way back to the Happy Tom Cat Food Factory only to find Aldrin Klordane heading inside a helicopter.
In question if they were too late as if Fat Cat had already given him back the ruby, they suddenly witnessed Fat Cat charging his way back to Aldrin with the ruby as Fat Cat disrobed.
The heroes then chased Fat Cat on the way to the helicopter, but could not make it.
Aldrin and Fat Cat began their flight on the way to Glacier Bay, and the hopes of clearing Detective Drake and Plato began drying out.
But Monterrey had an idea to fly after them as he began leading Chip and Dale on the way over to an abandoned military plane.
Monterrey Jack had his intentions on meeting up with his old world-travelling best friend, Geegaw Hackwrench, there.
Once at the plane however, they managed to come across Geegaw's daughter, Gadget, a genius mouse mechanic and inventor.
Gadget showed all the rodents the many different kinds of inventions she made inside the plane throughout the past months via her I.Q.
Then in a sad turn of events, the rodent quartet learned that Geegaw was not coming back as Gadget lost him over a year ago.
Gadget suddenly then joins up with the team and offers to fly them to Glacier Bay with her Dad's old plane, the Screaming Eagle, as Geegaw said that he wanted Monterrey Jack to have it.
Upon their arrival, Gadget unfortunately crashed the plane.
Gadget became suddenly depressed and started losing hope because she had this thought as she would never be as good as Geegaw was.
The rodent quartet persuaded her that Geegaw was a flyer, and that she was an inventor who could work perfect for the team.
So Gadget began to repair the plane, but not before providing the other four an iceboat for them to use to go after Klordane and Fat Cat at their location at Glacier Bay.
Meanwhile, Aldrin was waiting on an evil mad scientist named, Professor Norton Nimnul, whom at the time worked for Klordane.
Norton Nimnul has two masters degrees in science and engineering.
Klordane was waiting on Norton to be finished on constructing the laser cannon to slice up the glacier ground so Klordane's choppers can lift the ground into the air.
The ruby was the fuel to make it slice the ground successfully.
This scheme was set for these two humans upon their primary goal of sovereignty among becoming the wealthiest individuals on the planet.
The rodent quartet made their way to the area of the whole project with the iceboat that Gadget invented for them.
As they observed the project run, the rodent quartet tried to come up with a plan to sneak in and take away the ruby again; but only if they could reach it.
After the ground got lifted into the air in much success from the project, the rodent quartet then had their chance to sneak away the ruby while the laser was at that point on the ground.
Meanwhile, Aldrin left in his helicopter, and left Fat Cat and Nimnul behind at Glacier Bay as Aldrin knew that the glacier ground was successfully lifted on schedule.
The rodents began scurrying on Professor Nimnul's laser to sneak away the ruby, but were caught by Norton in the process.
Norton ordered Fat Cat to take care of them, and Fat Cat threw snowballs at them and knocked them all off the lifted glacier ground.
As the rodent quartet went in their fall, they were suddenly saved by Gadget on her newly-repaired Screaming Eagle.
This said Screaming Eagle was redesigned by her by using trash from Klordane's camp, and became better known as what we know as the Ranger Plane.
Later, Nimnul continued running the project in the nick of time as it brought the glacier to a valley in order to greet Klordane's train.
Norton then had the choppers chop up the glacier into snow cone material to be loaded onto the train.
The heroes however showed up and snuck inside the machine to snatch back the ruby.
Norton and Fat Cat tried to halt the heroes from taking off with the ruby, but they were unsuccessful in doing so.
The next day, Klordane had made his way back to the police station at Donald Drake and Plato's cell.
Aldrin dropped some sort of gas inside the cell and put the two to sleep.
Aldrin then captured Donald to bring him over to his master plan while he left Plato behind.
Moments later, Professor Ninmul showed up with Fat Cat to report to Klordane that the ruby had gone missing again.
Aldrin then ordered Norton to retrieve it, and then Professor Nimnul began tracking it down.
Meanwhile, the rodents brought the ruby back to the police station only to discover that Donald Drake had run away from Plato.
Professor Nimnul and Fat Cat made their way back to the police station as Nimnul had tracked the ruby at that location.
He ordered Fat Cat to get inside and retrieve it again.
As Fat Cat made his way inside, the heroes caught him inside.
But Fat Cat provided a distraction as the heroes tried to stop him.
Fat Cat also took advantage of his way with Plato sneaked some human's pet chihuahua in Plato's mouth.
The cops at the police station had assumed that Plato had gone aggressive, and thus had him sent to a pound since Donald was not around to free him from his chain.
Nimnul then managed to succesfully sneak the ruby away again.
The rodent heroes then flew their way to the pound to find a way to rescue Plato within his innocence.
Once the heroes sucessfully freed Plato from the pound, they all proceeded to go look for Klordane's current hideout on Gadget's newly-invented, Rangermobile.
By way of tracking the hideout with a thermometer on their way, the heroes discovered that Aldrin's hideout was some subway entrance underground.
Once there, they found that it was sealed by a wooden door with cold air coming out through it.
In the event, the heroes found out that Klordane had hidden the glacier inside that sealed hideout.
So Plato offered to break through the wooden door, but it then fell apart on him and the rodent heores.
That moment later, Klordane and Percy came by the heroes and recognized the dog.
Meanwhile inside the hideout with Donald captured, Klordane began explaining his master plan to him.
Afterwards, Percy showed up only to provide that Plato had performed his Crime Bite on him again.
Donald Drake and Plato then reunited.
After that very moment though, Aldrin and Percy have Plato captured along with Donald on their pursuit.
Meanwhile, the rodent heroes made their way inside the hideout only to find that Klordane had smuggled all the ice in from Glacier Bay.
They also found his thugs piling it all up under the foundation of the Global Gold Reserve.
At the same time, they were mixing lime Jell-O to pour on top of the ice in order to create the world's largest gelatin dessert.
Overall, Klordane's master plan was to use it all to trigger an earthquake which would crack the Global Gold Reserve.
Klordane had Nimnul begin work at once as Norton went inside the laser cannon, and started the mechanical copters used back in Glacier Bay to mix up the Jell-O ingredients.
Once the Jell-O was all done, Norton then used his laser gun to warm up the batter.
He then used those copters to pour the gelatin onto the piled up ice from Glacier Bay, and the Jell-O was all wobbled up and ready to start said earthquake.
Aldrin then had Norton start the earthquake, which sent a rainfall of golden coins and bricks from the Reserve falling down into Klordane's train cars.
The heroes meanwhile witnessd the whole earthquake, and then they found Plato chained up and muzzled at the end of Klordane's train.
Once they freed Plato from his muzzle, the canine told them that they must find a way to alert the police of Klordane's whereabouts.
During that time, Plato called the five rodents of the team, Rescue Rangers; which inspired Chip very well of the team's name.
So then, the Rescue Rangers went "away" for the very first time upon using one of the golden bricks on the Jell-O to start another earthquake.
But Fat Cat interfered before they could do so by disarming the golden brick and trapping the Rangers in a cage.
Monterrey Jack's strength freed the Rangers from the cage, and then he and Fat Cat began fighting on Monterrey avenging what the feline had done to his and Zipper's old house.
After that enoumous fight, Monterrey Jack swumg Fat Cat by the tail and sent him flying towards the Jell-O.
The Rescue Ranger's earthquake began to trigger, and it crashed Norton Nimnul's laser cannon.
The whole Global Gold Reserve building also went down with it, and the investigating cops inside came within.
The cops then began arresting all those thugs and Percy inside the hideout.
As the Jell-O in the event was all destroyed, Klordane took notice of everything and began taking off with all the gold on his train while Fat Cat was lead to him having a huge grudge on the Rescue Rangers.
The Rescue Rangers saw Aldrin getting away with the gold on his train while Norton grabbed the ruby from his destroyed laser cannon.
As Norton noticed Klordane taking off with the gold, he began to try and catch back up to him with the ruby on his train.
Aldrin then grabbed the ruby as Norton reached the train, but then Klordane shoved the scientist off once he snatched it from him.
As the train was taking off, it was taking Plato with it as he was still chained onto the end of it.
The Rescue Rangers began giving chase to catch up to the train and Plato as they witnessed Aldrin taking off with the ruby.
Plato then let out his siren style howl which led to Detective Drake signaling all those cops to go after Aldrin Klordane to catch up to the train.
Once Klordane heard that bark to signal the police to come after him, he blocked the entrance with a dynamite to prevent the police from coming after him.
While the police had no chance of getting back at Aldrin, the Rescue Rangers fortunately were able to do so with their pint size.
Once inside, Gadget helped the Rangers on another one of her brilliant inventions to catch back up to the train.
By Gadget attaching a blowtorch onto a shovel that she found inside the cave, the Rangers successfully caught back up to Aldrin's train.
Once the Rangers got close enough, Plato used a golden brick to fling the Rangers onto the train; which sent the blowtorch flying along with them onto it.
With the blowtorch on the trainset, Plato then used it to try and set him free from his chain.
Meanwhile, the Rescue Rangers went away to make way to stop Klordane and retrieve that ruby once again.
After the exciting chase to stop Klordane, the Rescue Rangers mission became a big success, and the train went flying out of the subway towards the dead end that the Rangers backfired the trains path towards.
Klordane then landed right in the police captain's office with the freed Plato biting his backside with his patented Crime Bite once again.
The Rescue Rangers followed way inside the police station.
In such concussion, Klordane confessed his guilt and was brought to justice and arrested.
Thus the day was saved thanks to the five rodents, leading the Rescue Rangers to be born.
Donald Drake and Plato were also free to officially retire after the exciting adventure.
-Clips from all certain episodes involvine the circumstances mentioned began showing as the text continued scrolling about-
However, Norton Nimnul, Fat Cat, and his gang were still out there and about up to no good for the many days to come.
In short, the two main villians began working on their own upon crime and the forces of evil in their own special master plans.
These villians plans were illogical and convoluted upon sovereignty.
The Rescue Rangers thereafter, went upon their job to watch out for everyone.
With the hearts of gold that this team had, they always went their ways to help others in need.
Whether it be someone around New York City, or around any of the many places the Rangers traveled around the world to throughout their time together; much to Monterrey Jack's interest in world travelling.
Whenever someone was in trouble, the Rangers would be assigned a case.
The gang frequently found themselves going up against these two particular arch-villains, Fat Cat and Professor Nimnul we know.
Professor Nimnul's master plan was to become a wealthy criminal genius to taking over the world and ruling with an iron fist.
Fat Cat on the other hand continued his life as an independent agent and animal world crime boss after Klordane's incarceration.
Within avenging Klordane, Fat Cat's master plan was to become wealthy and rule the world by using his casino as mentioned earlier to hide his treasure of collected valuables like gold, silver, jewelry etc.
A rat named, Snout, eventually joined the gang of Fat Cat's cronies within his pursuit.
Every now and then within that period of time, crimes went slipping through the cracks.
But there was no case to big, nor was there a case too small
The Rangers have taken the clues, and found the wheres and whys and whos.
Thus the Rangers have had all evil plans foiled, especially those of Nimnul's and Fat Cat's.
The Rangers even made new friends and honorary Rescue Rangers throughout their journies together.
-The screen then goes black as the text continues to scroll-
Of all those misadventures the Rangers have had within their occupation however, the time has now come for things to get more sincere.
Professor Nimnul and Fat Cat are now about to pair up again.
Except now, they are finally on to join forces together.
Certain other baddies that the Rangers have faced are bound to come along to assist these two arch-villians too.
With those two arch-villians together, the Rangers will be out depth and don't stand a chance with them altogether.
Now the Rangers must set up and gather some assistance to prepare for their biggest adventure to stop these two fiends and save the world, before its taken over by the criminal duo.
Who could they find as their sixth hero for the team?
