Shift Megaship flies past Earth's orbit.


Onboard the Shift Megaship's cockpit, a door opened in the back, with the mystery person entering and walking toward the podium, where the Steer Blaster is inserted. He passes by a table, where pieces of what appeared to be small red and blue robots.

The mystery person takes the wheel part of the Steer Blaster, then looks ahead to see the viewscreen, where an image of the Earth appears. He nods his head.


Shift Megaship flies past Earth's orbit.


"The Golden Thief"


In Doctor Treads' lab, he is typing, as Cannondos paces behind him.

"I've never seen Prodigeist so angry before, I think…" Cannondos says, before stopping pacing. "And why does he care so much about Ranger Gears? I mean, you made those Dark Ranger Gears."

"Aha," Doctor Treads holds up a finger. "They only contain a fraction of Ranger powers, with no real Morphin' Grid energy." He lowers his hand, resuming typing. "Besides, a number of them had been destroyed by that new Ranger."

"And that's another problem," Cannondos says, approaching him. "With that new Ranger even beat your little Droidtron."

He turns to the chamber to see Droidtron inside of it, as the word "Reenergizing" appears on Droidtron's heads-up display.

Cannondos turns back to Doctor Treads, "And what are you doing anyway?"

"Prodigeist had commissioned me to make a new Dark Gear that will blow the Rangers away," Doctor Treads says, before holding up a Dark Gear with the image of a leaf on it. "And I did just that.


A black van, with the Grid Battleforce on the side, drives down the street.

Driving the van is Ben Burke, with Betty Burke sitting next to him.

"This is it, our big chance to redeem ourselves," Betty starts. "All after that mess with losing Scrozzle last year."

"Th-That wasn't our fault, really, and we weren't in trouble for that either way," Ben says. "Besides we did get him back."


Ben is driving a Grid Battleforce van through a street, with Betty in the passenger's seat, looking around.

"Betty, we had searched the entire city for Scrozzle," Ben says, before looking up slightly. "And now the sky is starting to look weird."

"We are a part of the Grid Battleforce security, we must keep on searching until we find our target," Betty says.

Suddenly, Scrozzle teleports in front of the van, with Ben slamming his foot on the brake with the van stopping within inches of Scrozzle.

Scrozzle wipes his hand across his forehead, as Ben and Betty exit the van.

"Aha, got you," Betty says, as Scrozzle notices the two.

"Not you two!" Scrozzle says, before looking down. "Me and my rotten life."


"Still, we have to prove ourselves, always," Betty says.

"Always?" Ben asks. "I-Is that why you volunteered us for this transport job?"

"Exactly," Betty holds up a finger, before they notice something through the windshield.

"Getting dark… early," Ben says, as the sky darkens.

They lean slightly to look up.

The Shift Megaship flies out of darkened clouds.


At the Ranger Lab, Azure is looking at a computer screen, which has a readout on Gold Mecahnaut Ranger.

"The data that Mirinoi sent over is fascinating," Azure says, as Rosy walks over to him. "I think we only saw a bit of what he could do the other day."

Several feet behind, Flaxen crosses his arms, "I'm more interested in who this Gold Ranger could be."

Vermili walks past him to approach Jill, who is sitting on a table, "What do you think, Jill?"

After a few seconds, Jill looks up at Vermili, "Oh, hum, sorry, just lost in thought, I guess. I was thinking about the Gold Ranger."

"The subject of the hour," Vermili says.

"He did help us, so maybe he is a good guy," Rosy suggests.

"He also stole his Morpher and ship," Flaxen says.

"A… bad good guy," Rosy adds.

"Rangers, the Shift Megaship had been detected," Beta, on his perch, suddenly says.

"Guess we could just ask him," Vermili says, before the unmorphed Rangers rush out.


Gold Mechanaut Ranger jumps out from the bottom of the Shift Megaship, landing in front of the Grid Battleforce van.

Ben steps on the brake, with the van slams to a stop in front of the Ranger.

Ben and Betty look at each other for a moment, before exiting the van.

"A-A y-you o-o-okay?" Ben asks.

"What are you doing," Betty holds out a hand, before looking him over. "Are you a Megaforce Ranger?"

Gold Mechanaut Ranger stares at them for a moment, before responding, "Are you transporting KSZ-45 microchips?"

"H-How you know that?" Ben asks.

"Shshshs," Betty quickly hurries to her brother, holding up a hand to his mouth. "It's supposed to be a secret. Okay, now…"

Ben and Betty turn to see no one's there. They then hear a noise, before looking to the back of the van, where they see a keypad get thrown onto the ground. They quickly go to the back of the van, to see the back doors opened, with Gold Mechanaut Ranger standing among several boxes, including an opened box. He is holding a couple microchips in one hand.

"Hey," Betty says, as Gold Mechanaut Ranger turns to them. "You can't take those."

Suddenly, White Mechanaut Ranger arrives on the Ranger Cycle, "You heard her." She dismounts her cycle.

Gold Mechanaut Ranger steps out of the back of the van, as Red and Yellow Mechanut Rangers appear on his left side, and Pink and Blue Mechanut Rangers appear on his right side.

"We can do this the easy way, or the hard way," Yellow Mechanaut Ranger says.

Gold Mechanaut Ranger slowly turns his head to the left.

"Hey man, why don't we talk this out," Red Mechanaut Ranger places a hand on Gold Mechanaut Ranger's shoulder.

Gold Mechanaut Ranger suddenly knocks away Red Mechanaut Ranger's arm, then sidekicks, before spins around and kicks Yellow Mechanaut Ranger.

"Is this the easy way?" Blue Mechanaut Ranger asks, as he and Pink Mechanaut Ranger charge.

Gold Mechanaut Ranger uses his arm to block Pink Mechanaut Ranger's Mystic Magi Staff, before kicking at White Mechanaut Ranger, who catches it. Gold Mechanaut Ranger then kicks off White Mechanaut Ranger's abdomen, sending himself into a flip. Upon landing, he catches Blue Mechanaut Ranger's Drive Defender Axe, before spins around and aims his Steer Morpher, then blasts the back of the van, with the boxes of microchips blowing up.

"What?!" White Mechanaut Ranger steps toward the van. "Why would you do that?"

Gold Mechanaut Ranger turns to her, "You're better off."

Gold Mechanaut Ranger then jumps up to the Shift Megaship.

Yellow Mechanaut Ranger walks over, looking up, "We should go after him."

"He's already gone," Red Mechanaut Ranger walks over to him. "Remember, we don't have our own ship."

Yellow Mechanaut Ranger nods his head slightly.

Pink Mechanaut Ranger approaches the back of the van, "Why would the Gold Ranger destroy all those chips?"

"He didn't destroy all of them," Ben says, with all the Rangers turning to him. "He took a couple first."

"He stole some microchips, then destroyed the rest?" White Mechanaut Ranger asks, before looking up.


In the Shift Megaship's cockpit, the mystery person is at the table, with the small red robot in his hand, as its back is exposed, before he inserts a microchip into it. The robot's eyes then light up.


Vermili, Flaxen, Rosy, Azure, Ben, and Betty are entering the Ranger Lab.

"Wow, this place is incredible," Betty says, as they look around. "Is that a robot bird?"

"My name is Beta, pleasure to meet you," Beta says, as Ben and Betty approach.

"Oh, wait, where's Jill?" Ben turns to ask.

"She'll catch up with us," Rosy says. "She just, she just needs to clear her head."


Jill is skating down the sidewalk, "That Gold Ranger… He stole his powers and those microchips, but he also helped us against Droidtron. Who is he…?"

She turns a corner and looks ahead, "What the?!"

Jill sees people flying through the air, as they scream, before looking ahead to see Leaf-Trooper, a monster with large leaf-like shields on his arms, and a head wrapped in a large leaf.

"Around, around they go, where they stop, no one will know," Leaf-Trooper says, as he brings his hands together, throwing the people through the air.

"No you don't," Jill holds up her Hawk Blaster, closing the lid, before aiming ahead. "Get into High Gear!"

Jill morphs into White Mechanaut Ranger.

White Mechanaut Ranger then looks to the side to see a large sign sticking out of the ground. She then blasts the bottom of the sign, knocking it out of the ground, before roundhouse kicks it into the air.

She then places a Ranger Gear onto her Hawk Blaster and turns the crank, "Hopefully this'll work."

"In Space!"

White Mechanaut Ranger fires her Hawk Blaster, with the five Space Rangers appearing, before they fly onto her. White Mechanaut Ranger then jumps up and lands on the sign, as she and it fly through the air. She flies back and forth, as each of the flying people lands on the sign, before they all land on the ground, with the sign skids to a stop.

All the people stand up, as White Mechanaut Ranger helps one woman to her feet, "Is everyone okay?"

"Y-Yes, thanks to you," the woman says.

"Hey, you're ruining my fun," Leaf-Trooper steps over to look at them, as all the people run away.

White Mechanut Ranger steps off the sign, "I'm gonna do more than that, blowhard."

Suddenly Gold Mechanaut Ranger flips through the air and lands in front of White Mechanaut Ranger, before running ahead.

"Okay…" White Mechanaut Ranger watches, before realizing Gold Mechanaut Ranger is running forward. "Wait, is he fighting the monster?"

Gold Mechanaut Ranger spins past with an arm swipe, which Leaf-Trooper dodges, before he catches his punch. Gold Mechanaut Ranger pulls his arm free and kicks Leaf-Trooper who blocks with a leaf shield.

White Mechanaut Ranger takes a couple steps, before looking ahead, "I just don't understand."


"There's a monster attack," Beta says, flapping his wings, as Vermili and Flaxen approach. "Jill is already on the scene. As well as the Gold Ranger."

"The Gold Ranger's there?" Flaxen asks.

"Azure and Rosy are showing Ben and Betty the training room," Vermili says. "We'll go help Jill, and contact the others if we need the help."

Flaxen nods his head, before he and Vermili rush out of the room.


Gold Mechanaut Ranger launches a jump kick, with Leaf-Trooper blocks with a leaf shield, before getting knocked back. Leaf-Trooper then tries an arm swipe, but Gold Mechanaut Ranger rolls under it and back kicks Leaf-Trooper, forcing him ahead.

Gold Mechanaut Ranger opens his Gear Buckle, pulling out a Ranger Gear, then holds it out, "Time to test this out."

White Mechanaut Ranger continues to watch, as Mini-B, a very small blue robot, with a lion design on his chest, the Zeo symbol on his forehead, and a cannon on his back, flies past her, "Excuse me."

"Wait, what?!" White Mechanaut Ranger looks ahead.

"I'm all ready, boss," Mini-B says, barely moving up one hand.

Gold Mechanaut Ranger places the Ranger Gear on his Steer Morpher, closing the lid. He then holds it up, turning the wheel.

"Zeo!"

"Another Ranger Gear?" White Mechanaut Ranger asks.

Gold Mechanaut Ranger aims the Steer Morpher, before firing it.


Gold Mechanaut Ranger fires a large Ranger Gear, as Mini-B flies up, with the Ranger Gear flies onto him, "Go Zeo Mode!"

Mini-B, growing, flies around Gold Mechanaut Ranger as a red wireframe pyramid appears around him. Mini-B turns into energy and flies onto Gold Mechanaut Ranger, as blue armor appears around his collar and waist.


Gold Mechanaut Ranger holds up a fist, before standing straight with one arm up, "Gold Ranger Zeo Mode, ready!"

He then holds out a hand, "Let's go."

Gold Mechanaut Ranger runs ahead and jump kicks Leaf-Trooper, knocking him back, before running after him. He then punches Leaf-Trooper's chest repeatedly, before holding back a fist, as it glows. He punches Leaf-Trooper again, with wind blowing past him.

"Now that was a punch," Leaf-Trooper says.

"You hadn't seen anything yet," Gold Mechanaut Ranger punches Leaf-Trooper repeatedly, while also arm swiping him, then kicks him a couple times.

"I don't believe this," White Mechanaut Ranger steps to the side, before pointing ahead. "That new Mode made him even more powerful."

Gold Mechanaut Ranger jumps up and delivers a chop, knocking Leaf-Trooper off his feet.

"Now for the second test," Gold Mechanaut Ranger opens his Gear Buckle, pulls out a Ranger Gear, before placing it on his Steer Morpher, holds it up and spins the wheel.

"Samurai!"

Leaf-Trooper rolls onto his back, lowering his arms, "Now what?"

"Now it's mine turn," Mini-R, a very small red robot with a lion design on his chest, the Samurai symbol on his forehead, and a blade on his back, rises up.

"Another one?" White Mechanaut Ranger asks.

"Let's go," Gold Mechanaut Ranger holds out the Steer Morpher.


Gold Mechanaut Ranger fires a large Ranger Gear, as Mini-R flies up, with the Ranger Gear flies onto him, "Go Go Samurai Mode!"

Mini-R, growing, flies around Gold Mechanaut Ranger as a red wireframe pyramid appears around him, before the pyramid disappears. Mini-R turns into energy and flies onto Gold Mechanaut Ranger, while Mini-B flies away from him, as red Super Samurai-like cloth appears around him.


Gold Mechanaut Ranger holds down the Steer Morpher, and pulls a folding blade out. He then holds it down, before raising it above his head, "Gold Ranger Samurai Mode, ready!"

He holds his weapon back down, "Now… Steer Blade!"

Gold Mechanaut Ranger strikes Leaf-Trooper twice, before swings his Steer Blade and holds it out, forcing Leaf-Trooper to back up. They then speed up, before stopping when Gold Mechanaut Ranger strikes Leaf-Trooper, forcing him to turn. Leaf-Trooper tries to arm swipe with a leaf shield, but Gold Mechanaut Ranger holds his Steer Blade behind his back, blocking the attack. Gold Mechanaut Ranger then spins around and strikes Leaf-Trooper twice.

"He's good, but I better get in there before this spill out to a populated area," White Mechanaut Ranger says, before running forward.

She tries a swipe with her Hawk Blaster, but Leaf-Trooper dodges, as Gold Mechanaut Ranger spins around and strikes at him, then strikes again.

Gold Mechanaut Ranger then holds out his Steer Blade at White Mechanaut Ranger, stopping her, "I don't need your help, White Ranger." He looks ahead. "I will end this on my own."

Gold Mechanaut Ranger holds up his Steer Blade and brings down, but Leaf-Trooper brings together his leaf shields, blocking the attack, "Nope." Gold Mechanaut Ranger starts a horizontal strike, when Leaf-Trooper claps his leaf shields together, creating a blow of winds, sending Gold Mechanaut Rangers away, as White Mechanaut Ranger holds onto Leaf-Trooper. "I said nope!"

Gold Mechanaut Ranger lands hard on the ground and looks up.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" Leaf-Trooper complains, as White Mechanaut Ranger holds onto the leaf on top of his head, while the wind continues to blow.

"Isn't it obvious?" White Mechanaut Ranger holds onto the leaf with both hands.

"Well, knock it off already," Leaf-Trooper complains, before he spins around, sending White Mechanaut Ranger flying, as she holds onto the leaf.

"What in the?" Gold Mechanaut Ranger looks back and forth.

White Mechanaut Ranger lands hard on the ground, as Leaf-Trooper continues to spin before falling down.

White Mechanaut Ranger looks at the large leaf in her hand, "I hope this is something important."

"What, my top leaf?" Leaf-Trooper touches the top of his head, before turns and stands up. "You gonna pay for that, you power pest." He spreads his arms. "I'm sending you to the moon." He brings his hands together, then again.

White Mechanaut Ranger holds up the large leaf to shield herself, but nothing happens, as she looks past it, with Leaf-Trooper looking at his hands in confusion.

"Is something supposed to happen?" White Mechanaut Ranger says.

"C'mon, c'mon, blow, blow!" Leaf-Trooper keeps on clapping his hands, but nothing happens.

Gold Mechanaut Ranger walks over, "Here's my chance." He spins the wheel on the Steer Blade.

"Wh-What?!" Leaf-Trooper turns to see Gold Mechanaut Ranger several feet away.

Gold Mechanaut Ranger starts to hold up the Steer Blade, as it glows and temporarily turns into the Fire Smasher. "Blazing Strike Slash!" He strikes with the Steer Blade, delivering a large slash on Leaf-Trooper.

Leaf-Trooper surges with red electricity as he starts to fall back, "I wish you would've leaf me alone!"

Leaf-Trooper falls down and is consumed in a large explosion. A Dark Gear falls onto the ground, as it surges with electricity.

Gold Mechanaut Ranger glows, as he returns to normal, nodding his head.

"Gold Ranger," White Mechanaut Ranger walks over. "Thanks for the help."

Gold Mechanaut Ranger stares at her for a moment, "I wasn't helping you. I just want to test my new modes, and the Minis."

"That's us," Mini-R says, as he and Mini-B float past Gold Mechanaut Ranger. "I'm Mini-R."

"And I'm Mini-B."

White Mechanaut Ranger nods her head, "Nice to meet you."

Suddenly a Mecha-Trooper steps on the Dark Gear, with Gold Mechanaut Ranger turns and looks up, "What the?!"

The Mecha-Trooper is covered in purple clouds, before the cloud dissipates, with the Mecha-Trooper has leaf shields on its arms and a head resembling Leaf-Trooper's head, with dozens of giant leaves blow into the air, "Leaf-Mecha, online!"

"The gear empowered a giant robot?" Gold Mechanaut Ranger realizes.

"You'll get use to it," White Mechanaut RAnger says.

"Jill," Yellow Mechanaut Ranger says, as he and Red Mechanaut Ranger run over. "Looks like we arrived in time."

"Is everything okay?" Red Mechanaut Ranger notices Gold Mechanaut Ranger and the Minis, with Mini-R turns and raises an arm like its waving.

"More or less," White Mechanaut Ranger says, before looking up. "C'mon, we got work to do."


"Make us grow!"

"Zord Mode, ready!"


"Let's combine!"

"WildDino Split Megazord, ready!"


WildDino Split Megazord holds out its Dino Power Sword and charges, bringing it down, but Leaf-Mecha blocks it, then WildDino Split Megazord hits it with a horizontal strike.

Shift Megaship flies out of clouds.


Gold Mechanaut Ranger is standing behind the podium, with the Minis on his shoulders.

"Activating scanners," Gold Mechanaut Ranger says.

The viewscreen shows WildDino Split Megazord hitting Leaf-Mecha with a horizontal strike.

"Begin analysis," Gold Mechanaut Ranger says.


"Now guys, let's send this guy away," White Mechanaut Ranger says, before holding up her hand. "Mecha Blade!"

The Mecha Blade appears in her hand, before she holds it down.

White Mechanaut Ranger swings the Mecha Blade, "Gear Slash!"


WildDino Split Megazord brings down its sword three times.

Leaf-Mecha is striked three times, as it surges with blue electricity, "Overload! Overload!"

Leaf-Mecha falls down and is consumed in a large explosion, as WildDino Split Megazord turns away and lowers its Dino Power Sword.


"Interesting," Gold Mechanaut Ranger nods his head. "This data could come in handy."


At the Ranger Lab, Ben and Betty stand in front of the unmorphed Rangers.

"Thanks again for all the help," Betty says.

"We're just sorry about the microchips," Rosy says.

"What a waste," Azure says.

"We're receiving a transmission from Grid Battleforce," Beta says, drawing everyone's attention to him.

"Grid Battleforce?" Jill asks.

Appearing on a screen is Nate Silva, "Hello, can you read me?"

"Nate," Ben and Betty quickly rush over to the computer.

"Ben, Betty, are you two okay?" Nate asks.

"Nate, we are so sorry," Ben says.

"It wasn't our fault," Betty says.

"He came out of nowhere, and then he did this 'hiya' thing," Ben says.

"We never saw it coming," Betty says.

"Guys, guys, calm down, I just want to warn you," Nate says.

"Warn us what?" Betty asks.

"I just discovered that the microchips you were transporting had a serious overheating issue," Nate explains. "Even when they aren't activated, being in the back of a van could cause them to overheat. And if they had overheated, they could've exploded."

"Could've… exploded," Ben says.

"It is a simple enough fix, but I was concerned about you," Nate says.

"Could've…" Ben repeats.

Ben almost collapses, with Betty stopping him and tries to hold him up with Vermili's help.

"The chips could overheat," Jill turns slightly.


Gold Mechanaut Ranger turns to her, "You're better off."


"Did the Gold Ranger know?" Jill wonders.
