Power Rangers: Gundam Rescue

Episode II: Teamwork

Auel and Sting were, obviously, getting another regular beating by Talia for their failure in defeating the Rangers. "Please, Miss Talia! It wasn't our fault!" shrieked Sting, who was feeling the full brunt of Talia's fury while Auel was hiding behind him. "You two imbeciles have been lucky that I have tolerated your failures over the last couple of weeks, but now there are 5 of those accursed Power Rangers! How could you let this happen!" Talia was furious by Auel and Stings repeated failures, but now there was something that aggravated her even more, a fifth Ranger. It was bad enough for her to deal with four of them but now she has one addition of a bane against her, "Don't worry Miss Talia, we have a new plan to beat those Rangers, really!" said Auel, who was trying to save his friend Sting from getting blasted again. Talia reluctantly agrees, but for reasons unknown to herself she isn't even sure why she even bothered.

Back on Earth, Cagalli is looking for something in the Seed Base. She sees Lunamaria lazily slacking off on the job. Ignoring her laziness she asks where the Gundam Rescue rulebook is, and Lunamaria tells her that it's with Athrun. Cagalli goes to see Athrun is reading it, "I see you've found the rulebook." Said Cagalli as Athrun glanced, putting on a smile, "So… these are the rules?" asked Athrun, "Yeah, what? Anything wrong?"

Asked Cagalli, "Well, I guess I'll have to say… there are too many rules." Said Athrun, Cagalli was slightly annoyed by this and asked "What's wrong with the rulebook?" "There's nothing wrong with it, it's just, we don't need the rulebook. We're a team; all we need is one rule, teamwork. And this rulebook is unnecessary." Replied Athrun.

Cagalli was frustrated and marched away from the room where Athrun was. "What did I say?" asked Athrun quizzically as Kira entered the room. Kira then told him that it was Cagalli who wrote the rulebook and that she's extremely proud of it, he also told him that Cagalli was the first Gundam Rescue Ranger since her father was founder, and mentor, of the team. Athrun felt a little guilty and went to apologize to her.

Meanwhile, in Talia's secret asteroid base, Axis, Auel was laying down his "plan" to defeat the Rangers, create a new monster and use him to defeat them. "That's your plan?" asked Sting, "Yup." Said Auel, "That… is… the most ridiculous plan I have ever heard! It's not even a real plan!" Said Sting, "Hey, I needed to save you from Miss Talia, didn't I?" Said Auel, who was trying to get some appreciation for saving Sting, but Sting just said "You idiot! If we don't come up with a real plan, she'll definitely kill us!" Auel was dumbfounded, but with no other option available, the duo creates a more powerful monster to defeat the Rangers, hoping that this time, they'll lose.

Athrun goes to see Cagalli, who's out at the lake near the Seed Base, tossing stones, "Cagalli?" he asked, approaching closer, "What is it?" Cagalli said sniffling sadly while still throwing stones "Listen, Cagalli, you seem like a very strong person and I respect that, but you got to realize that, we really don't need those rules you set in order to be a team. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings but, like I said, all we need is teamwork; and nothing more." Cagalli continued throwing stones, as if ignoring Athrun. Athrun leaves, leaving Cagalli to think about what he said.

Athrun went for a stroll in the city, thinking about whether what he said was the right thing to do or not. Suddenly he receives a distress signal from the Seed Base; a new monster has appeared in the rock quarry on the outskirts of the city. He immediately heads to the location.

Athrun is at the quarry, seemingly empty. Suddenly he is ambushed by GINN-borgs, and Auel and Sting, who were apparently waiting for him, "Hey, you're the guy who got us punished by the mistress! You are so gonna pay for this!" shouted Auel, "I don't know this mistress you're talking about, but if you want a fight, then be my guest, Gundam Rescue! Power Morph!" Athrun morphed and easily beat the GINN-borgs, but was beaten when Sting unveiled their latest monster, Zapper Z'Gok.

Athrun staggered up, but was knocked down again by Z'Gok. "Destroy Power Ranger!" said the monster as it walked closer to him, but was stunned itself when a flurry of blasts shot out from nowhere. There on that instant was Cagalli, morphed and ready for action, "You ready to fight Athrun?" asked Cagalli "Anytime, anywhere." Replied Athrun, and the perfect pair dueled against Auel, Sting, and Zapper Z'Gok, and although it was three against two, they managed to pull it off.

Just then, the other Rangers arrived and together, formed the Gundam Mega-Blaster, and defeated Z'Gok.

Talia was watching from the monitor on Axis and watched her minion's monster defeated by the Rangers, "As I thought." Talia then grabbed a blue vial, "Minerva Empowerment." She said as she opened the vial, and then a blue light emerged from it and returned to where Z'Gok was destroyed, and was brought back, now a giant beast.

"Gundamzords! Descend!" and the Gundamzords came down, "Gundamzords, combine!"

And out came the Gundam Megazord, ready for battle. Z'Gok started launching missiles that knocked down the Megazord, "Oh no, he's coming for us!" said Nicol, but Cagalli was no coward, and boldly declared that "teamwork" will get them out of this, Athrun was shocked when she said it.

The Megazord stood erect and faced the menace that was Z'Gok, the monstrous menace then proceeded to attack with its missiles again, but this time, with the Excalibur Power Sword, they diced the missiles in a flurry of slashes, typical of any other Megazord. Z'Gok was quickly finished with the Excalibur Power Slash.

Athrun headed for the lake, only to see Cagalli throwing stones again, but this time, with a smile, "Cagalli?" as Athrun approached Cagalli smiled at him, "You were right Athrun, I guess I was going a bit overboard with the rulebook, and I'm sorry." But Athrun said otherwise, "No, it was my fault. I should never have been so… sarcastic." The two giggled as three pairs of eyes were spying on them, "They're so perfect." Said Lunamaria, "I know." Said Nicol, "Come on, let's leave them alone." Kira concluded.
