Ep. 13: Silver Lining
Episode(s) Adapted: The Amazing Silver-Colored Man (凄い銀色の男)
The Megazord flew through the air.
"You're not getting away, you Armada bilge rats!" Marvelous yelled as he & the others were morphed inside the cockpit at their wheels.
"Let's go with the Mystic Force ultimate power!" Robin said, holding the Mystic Force Yellow key, then inserted it into her wheel's keyhole & turned it.
The Mystic Dragon parts came out of the ports on the zords.
"Mystic Megazord form, ready!"
They flew more as some Bruiser ships flew around & shot at them. They then fired the Dragon's fire breath at a ship, destroying it. They did the same to the second one, then the Dragon returned.
"There's still some on the surface," Joe said.
"Let's use the SPD's ultimate power next!" Doc suggested. He got the Green SPD key & inserted it, then turned it.
"SPD formation, ready!" they announced as the Megazord landed on the ground with the Delta Runner parts, facing off against four Bruisers.
The Megazord blasted all of them.
"We'll finish them with the Delta Runner!" Doc exclaimed.
He turned the key again & the Delta Runner formed, finishing them off.
"We did it!...is what I was gonna say, but what's with that?" Robin said, then they saw more Bruisers forming. "More!?"
"Let's wipe them out!" Marvelous said.
"Perhaps we should use the ultimate power of the Megaforce team that we recently got?" Vivi suggested, getting out her key as she did.
"Yeah," Marvelous said, flipping up his key.
"Ranger Key, set! Megaforce Header Assault!" they exclaimed as the headers came out of their cards. The Bruisers were defeated. They all were relieved.
A man in a silver jacket stood on the roof of a small building, looking at the Megazord.
"Nice, real nice! The ultimate power of the Megaforce is the Zord Headers? That's so cool! I can't wait to see the rest!" he exclaimed, with energy.
The Galleon flew through the air. They all came back up to the main living area of the lower deck.
"Nice work! Man, those guys have been real persistent lately!" Navi said as they all stood, with Marvelous sat in his chair. Vivi was petting her puppy in her arms.
"Well, we do have six ultimate powers now," Doc said.
"Five. The Red Spirit key vanished after we used its power," Marvelous said.
"Right...& that battle proved it," Joe said.
"That's certainly true," Vivi said, sitting the pup in Marvelous' lap as she walked towards him while talking. He pet her as she sat there.
"And before that, we got 15 new Ranger Keys from Basco," Robin said.
It showed a flashback of Marvelous defeating the Quantum Ranger key clone, then the rest of them falling as keys as they all finished them off.
"Let's keep this streak going, wrap up getting the rest of the ultimate powers, & find the Greatest Treasure in the Galaxy!" she continued.
"Yeah. Do it, bird, fortune tell," Marvelous said.
"Roger! Let's see the future! Someone incredible is rolling in..." he hit is head on the ceiling. "You lot should be on the lookout for an man all dressed in silver...or something."
"What's that mean?" Joe asked.
"Amazing? How?" Robin asked as well.
"That's as vague as ever..." Doc said.
"Just look for someone amazing, right?" Marvelous said. "Let's move out!" he exclaimed, standing up & handing the pup back to Vivi.
"You sure it was safe to bring her along?" Doc asked Vivi as they all walked.
"It feels like she hasn't been out in months, so I feel it's time to take her for a walk," Vivi answered, holding the leash, guiding the pup.
"I guess."
"Anyway, someone amazing...in silver—?" Robin said.
Suddenly, a man in a silver tracksuit ran by them.
"Is that him?" Marvelous asked.
"He's certainly wearing silver, but..." Vivi said.
"Hey. Are you the amazing guy in silver?" Marvelous asked as the man ran back towards them.
"Huh?" the man asked, taking off his shades.
"Would you please tell us if you're familiar with the ultimate power of the Power Rangers?" Vivi asked as they caught up to them.
"What are you talking about? I'm busy! Move aside," he said, continuing his jog.
"Guess it's not him then..." Joe said & they continued walking.
The guy from earlier in the silver jacket walked down some nearby stairs.
"Silver, silver..." Robin said over & over as they looked around.
"There they are! Alrighty then..." he said & jogged walked over to them.
They were walking through a park & saw a man painted in silver moving like a robot, then walked over to him.
"Excuse me, sir, are you the amazing silver man?" Vivi asked him. The man pointed to his sign by his feet, which was also next to a top hat for tips. "'Amazing Silver Man-bot'?" she asked as she read it.
"I don't know..." Doc said.
"Hang on, hang on! Hang on a sec, Marvelous?" the other man said, catching up to them.
"Huh?" Marvelous said, looking at the silver-painted man.
"Stay like that, ok?"
The man nodded.
"Did I hear you guys right in that you're looking for someone in silver?" he asked.
"Yeah, why are you...?" he said, turning around & saw him.
"Because I'm your prime suspect!" the guy said, then did an 'arms spread' pose. "John Baumick."
"What are you babbling about?"
"That's right!"
"This guy's a weirdo," Doc said to Joe as they all looked at him..
"I'm sorry, I swear I'm not some weirdo, just an Otaku...in the original sense, not the Western one," he said, lowering his arms.
"You do have a silver jacket, but we're looking for a man dressed all in silver, not just a jacket," Robin said, looking at his outfit.
"Well, if a man all in silver's what you're looking for-"
"Let's go..." Marvelous said & they all walked again.
"Hey, wait!" he said, exasperated.
"What an oddball," Joe said.
"He was kind of cute, though," Robin said.
"Let's find that power before any more weirdos try & hassle us," Marvelous said.
An X-Borg then ran by them & they looked over.
"Let's start here," the Commander said as they got a bomb out.
"X-Borgs?" Robin asked.
"And a Commander," Doc said.
They turned around to see them.
"The way you guys pop up is starting to make me paranoid," Marvelous said.
"The wanted pirates! How'd you learn we were setting bombs throughout the city while you were busy battling those giant Bruisers!?" the Commander asked.
"Was that what you were doing?" Doc asked,
"Man! We can't take our eyes off you guys for a second, can we?" Robin asked.
They all got their keys & morphed.
(Vivi tied the puppy's leash to a pole on the side during that dialogue)
"It's Morphin Time!"
"Pirate Crew!"
"Pirate Crew Red!"
"Pirate Crew Blue!"
"Pirate Crew Yellow!"
"Pirate Crew Green!"
"Pirate Crew Pink!"
"Power Rangers…Pirate Crew!"
"Let's make it showy!" Marvelous exclaimed & fired on the enemies.
A few X-Borgs took the blasts.
"I'll present your remains as a gift to Prince Vekar!" the Commander said. "X-Borgs, attack!"
They all rushed them. The Rangers went at them.
"Sheesh! Do you guys really have nothing better to do?" Robin asked as she fought, slashing a few.
Vivi did the same, blasting them as well.
Joe one-handed the X-Borgs with his sabre, then kicked a few.
Doc flipped over an X-Borg, then did the same to another.
"I'll take that!" he said, taking the bomb. "Lookie here! It's gonna blow!" he said, showing it to them.
Marvelous tore through some until they were defeated. Doc threw the bomb to an X-Borg & it blew it up with the rest.
"Let's try some of the Ranger Keys we jacked from Basco on him," Doc suggested.
"Sounds good," Marvelous said & they took out the keys.
"Power Switch!"
Marvelous was the Quantum Ranger, Vivi was the White Dino Ranger, Doc was MMPR Green, Robin was In Space Silver, & Joe was Solaris Knight. The Commander charged at them & they charged at him with their weapons at the ready, then they all started fighting.
The guy, John, walked down the stairs nearby, then saw the puppy.
"Hey, girl. What are you doing here?" he remembered seeing the puppy a few minutes prior. "Hey, aren't you Vivi's pup?" he asked, then heard the fight & went to see. He saw the fight from a bit above.
"They're using an all extra-Rangers combination! So they did have the Ranger Keys for those guys! I knew it! Sweet!" he said, excited.
Marvelous had his sword clashed with the Commander's, who slashed him away. Marvelous somersaulted backwards & they all regrouped.
"You fools can't defeat me!"
"Oh yeah?" Robin said as Joe charged up the Laser Lamp & she had the Super Silverizer (no joke, that's the name recorded on the Wiki), then they ran up & fired at him.
"Armor Barrier!" he yelled & was shielded.
"Oh, come on...that's practically cheating," Robin said.
"It's bound to have some kind of weakness we can exploit," Joe said.
He charged in with her, but the Commander shielded himself. Doc & Vivi attempted to do the same, but were deflected, as did Marvelous with Doc.
"Huh?" Marvelous said, then they were blasted with lightning by the Commander & fell to the ground.
"Oh man! Right, now's my chance..." John said, smiling.
They all got up.
"Let me handle this!" Doc said. "Over here!" he added, then walked to the side.
"Quit squirming around!" the Commander said, then shot more lightning at him, which made him fall back to avoid it. He was shot at again.
Doc ran & jumped at him, but the Commander shielded himself again & Doc was sent flying over him, dropping the Dragon Dagger on the back of the Commander's collar, which made him drop to his knees.
"Whoops!"
Marvelous observed, then John ran up to them.
"That's far enough, Villain-!"
"I'll let you all live, for now...But remember this, pirates, next time, I will crush you all!" the Commander exclaimed, then shot out multiple lightning strikes, sending all of them back. He then ran out of there.
"He ran off!" Doc said.
John got up as they all transformed back to their regular suits.
"Whatever...come on," Marvelous said.
"Yeah," Joe said & they all walked off.
"Aw, man...for real?" John said in disbelief.
"Idiot! Idiot, idiot, idiot! Gorgax! How dare you return in disgrace!" Vekar exclaimed.
"My apologies. I thought the pirates were beneath my notice & underestimated them," Gorgax responded.
"To think they'd find your only weakness, & by accident..." Levira said.
"There wasn't much damage. Be ready to re-deploy," Damaras told him.
"Get your act together & subjugate that planet! Failure will not be forgiven this time!" Vekar told him, then he walked out of the room, slamming his fist on the wall as he walked through the door frame. "What's with his attitude problem?"
"I believe he is now fixated on the pirates," Biorg suggested.
"How's that?"
"Gorgax is a very prideful man. He will seek to conclude his battle, even if it means defying orders."
"But they've noticed his weakness. He needs to be warned again..." Damaras said, starting to walk.
"Wait! I've had a flash of inspiration. Levira!" Vekar said.
"Yes, sir?"
"Over here..." he told her, then started whispering in her ear.
"That Commander's forcefield was a real pain in the neck," Robin said as they walked.
"But, why did he retreat so suddenly?" Vivi asked.
"Didn't you notice too, Vivi? The reason he suddenly left..." Joe started.
"I think it was because I dropped the dagger on his neck brace. There must be a small opening in his forcefield," Doc suggested.
"Then, if he confronts us again, we need simply aim for that?" Vivi asked.
"Well, if he has the guts. Let's go," Marvelous said.
"Wait a sec, please!" John shouted & they turned around.
"You again? What the heck do you want?"
"Right!" he said, catching his breath, then started his proper introduction. "The name's Baumick. John Baumick, though my friends call me Chip. I love the Power Rangers!"
"And what's that got to do with us?" Joe asked.
"Isn't it obvious? I'm here to join your crew as the sixth ranger!"
Everyone was in disbelief.
"Is there something in it for us if we let you join?" Marvelous asked.
"Yep! You bet there is!"
"What is it?"
"If I join, the Pirate Crew will become an even more spectacular Ranger team!"
"'Spectacular Ranger team'—?" Vivi asked.
"Well, from little babies, to old folks, your appeal as a Ranger team will grow a ton! Especially your brand."
"What?" Marvelous asked.
"First, we need to rebrand your team name. I'm thinking...Legacy Batallion, seeing as you have all of those Ranger Keys."
"But, we're not upholding anyone's legacy."
"What about your whole gimmick; meeting your Ranger predecessors & using their powers?"
"We're not expecting to meet them on our travels. It just happens by happenstance. We get clues about the future & then we seek out what they're about."
"Ok...Ah, how about Pirate Slueths then?"
"It may be a more apt description of what we're doing here on Earth, but what about when we eventually leave? It'll hardly hold up in the future," Doc said.
"Why do you think we're even here in the first place? We're pirates looking for treasure. The treasure just involves this planet & the powers that came from it. That's all," Joe said.
"But I'm just..."
"Bizarre..." Robin said.
"I'm terribly sorry, but I must agree with them," Vivi said.
"That's right!" Doc said.
"Aw, man...What about you, Marvelous?" John said.
"Isn't it obvious?" Marvelous asked him & he started to smile. "We don't need you," he said, then John's hopes were crushed. He fell to the ground in a seated position. They kept walking.
"No way! I didn't expect to get rejected," he said, dejected. "I never thought this would happen. Ok...in that case, time to break out the big guns," he said, getting up, but saw that they were out of sight. "Oh My Gosh!" he exclaimed, seeing the Galleon raise anchor & fly off.
On the ship, they all sat in their spots, Vivi fed her pup lunch.
"Welcome home!" Navi said.
"I thought he was kind of cute, but he was way more obnoxious than that," Robin said.
"His intentions seemed honest enough," Vivi said.
"Nope, not him. He's totally useless," Doc said.
"Calm down...Unless Marvelous accepts him, he can't be a part of this crew," Joe said.
"And that's that," Marvelous said.
"So guys, did you find the amazing silver guy?" Navi asked & they all were hit with the realization. "You came back without finding anything!? Unbelievable!" he added, then Marvelous clamped his robotic mouth shut.
"We're going back out there!" he said, then got up from his chair.
Some teens were playing baseball outside during their Gym class & the one up at bat hit the ball really far, but it bounced off the Megazord's arm as Doc & Robin were held in its hand, while Robin shouted into a megaphone.
"Pardon us, we're the Pirate Rangers who have been making a ruckus around here lately...Do any of you know any amazing silver-wearing people?"
"Hey! I saw an amazing silver guy...in the park over there!" a passerby yelled up to them.
"Really?" Doc yelled into the megaphone, taking it from her.
"Yeah, it was pretty crazy!"
"Thank you, old timer!" Robin yelled, taking it back. "Over there!" she yelled, pointing.
"Go!"
The Megazord turned & started walking.
They were then on the ground & ran towards the man in silver, but were surprised to see another silver-painted man.
"One of you again?" Marvelous asked.
"I'm getting a headache," Robin said, rubbing her temples.
Marvelous then ran & shielded the guy from another lightning strike. The Commander appeared again with some X-Borgs.
"Hey..." he said.
"You..." Joe said, then Marvelous looked back at the silver guy.
"Get moving," he said to him & the guy just stood there.
"You may have nailed me last time, but I'm super-charged now! I hope you're ready to go down."
"Right back at you," Marvelous said after getting out his key & morpher, as the others did the same.
"It's Morphin Time!"
"Pirate Crew!"
They were outside of a nearby stadium.
"All right..." Robin said.
"Let's make it showy!" Marvelous exclaimed.
"Get them, X-Borgs!"
"Wait a second!" the man painted in silver yelled as they all charged, then they stopped.
"You again!?" Robin asked.
"Hey, back off. This is dangerous," Marvelous told him.
"It's ok...And this time, you'll see why!" he said, taking off his sunglasses & top hat, revealing John. They were surprised.
He then took out a Ranger Key like theirs, which made them really surprised. He then took out a morpher & flipped open the faceplate, then inserted the key & flipped it back down.
"It's Morphin Time!" he exclaimed, holding the morpher in front of him.
He then held it to his side, reaching his left hand back to press the button his helmet was on, then held it forward & pressed the top button down. The thing in front of his key scanned it.
"Pirate Crew!"
An 'X,' a 'V,' & an anchor symbol made his suit & helmet materialize on his body. He was transformed.
"Shining against the daylight sun! Even more stunning against the moon. Also looking great with my gold lining. This ordinary fan has transformed into a Power Ranger, & the name is…Pirate Crew…Silver!" he said, doing his 'arms-spread' pose from earlier.
"No way! He transformed!?" Robin exclaimed.
"How—? Marvelous, was there someone else you gave a Ranger Key to?" Vivi asked.
"There are only 5 Pirate Crew Ranger Keys," he said.
"But he's pretty clearly a Pirate Crew Ranger…" Joe said.
"Check out my moves, everyone! And then, let me join your crew! Here I come!" he exclaimed, charging in to fight.
"Get him!" Gorgax said, bopping a few X-Borgs on he head & they charged in at him.
John punched & kicked a few, then multi-punched another one. He kicked another away, then jumped up & kicked another. The rest made a circle around him.
"Gold Spear, Sniper Mode!" he exclaimed, taking out his weapon, then shot at them. He then kicked another one again, then rolled away & took care of 3 more. Two more jumped at him & he shot them down. More appeared & shot at him, to which he said..."Gold Spear, Trident Mode!" he transformed his weapon & deflected the blasts. "Come on, come on, come on!" he exclaimed, then ran in & slashed at them. He then stabbed one, flipping it up over him, then took it down. He then did a multi-slash & took the rest out. He then ran at the Commander, starting to fight him. "Did you guys see that? Please, let me join you!" he said, then avoided the Commander's swipes.
"He's better than I thought," Marvelous said.
"Heck, he's actually pretty strong," Robin said.
"Yeah, but look at the Commander's neck brace," Doc said. They all looked.
"It's been weaponized," Vivi said.
"That means it was his weakness!" Doc confirmed. "It should be easier to target now!"
John started to wind up his slash.
"Armor Barrier!" Gorgax yelled, then raised it, deflecting his swipes, then punched him several times in between.
John started again, but was forced backwards.
"That forcefield's pretty tough..." he said.
"We'll take it from here!" Doc said.
"Come on!" Marvelous yelled & they got their weapons & charged in.
They started swiping at the barrier.
"Your Excellency, what plan are you having Gorgax execute?" Damaras asked.
"I gave him no plan! The pirates were aware of Gorgax's weakness because of their previous battle, so I ordered Levira to make it seem as if we'd reinforced his neck brace, when, in reality, she installed something else," Vekar said.
"Something else?"
"A powerful explosive, that will go off when it's struck," Levira said.
"What? You'd sacrifice an Action Commander to defeat the pirates?" Damaras asked.
"Precisely! Enjoy your just deserts, pirate scum!"
The Rangers were still dealing with Gorgax. He then pushed Doc back on the pavement, then he noticed the tree behind him.
"I've got it!" he yelled, going back to it.
"Enjoy your battle! Because your victory will send you into oblivion!" Vekar exclaimed, then laughed.
Marvelous slashed at Gorgax, who caught his arm. John got up & looked at them.
"Let's corner him!" Marvelous yelled & they all shot at him, to which he raised his barrier. He was hit back by the impact.
Doc was spying from the tree.
"Come on!" Robin yelled.
"Now's my chance!" Doc said, then started to leap.
"Don't!" John said, running to him.
"Gotcha!" Doc said, going in.
John then stopped his attack.
"What!?" Vekar asked.
"I'm not sure, but something's wrong. It's like that neck brace was designed to be attacked!" John said.
"He's got a point," Joe said.
"What are you people babbling about!?" Gorgax said, then charged at Doc & John.
They fought again & he hit them back. John then got back up & ran at him, to which Gorgax shot more lightning blasts at him. He ran through them as they struck the ground, then jumped over him, hooked his Spear into the collar & sent it flying up.
"Everyone, hit the deck!" he yelled, then it exploded in the air. The Rangers did as he said.
"They planted a bomb in it!?" Doc asked.
"My...my brilliant strategy!" Vekar exclaimed. Some of the X-Borgs aboard the ship went to comfort him.
"What was that!? What's going on?" Gorgax asked.
"All right! No more forcefield for you! Time for the silver spotlight!" John said, twirling his Spear, then ran at him. They fought & he slashed him several times, then sent him flying backwards. "It's over!" he said, flipping up his Key, then inserted it into the keyhole on the Spear.
"Final Wave!"
He jumped into the air & began to throw.
"Silver Shooting Star!" he yelled & threw it into Gorgax, who exploded in a burst of energy. John turned around & posed as the explosion went off. "I did it...My first win!" he exclaimed in excitement, raising his Spear up in his hand.
"He is the amazing man all in silver," Vivi said as they all caught up with him.
"I see..." Marvelous said, then they all powered down & walked up to him. He powered down too. "So, the bird was talking about you?"
"What?"
"Then, do you have an ultimate power?" Joe asked.
"What?"
"How can you transform?" Robin asked.
"Why do you have the same emblem as us?" Vivi asked.
"Who the heck are you!?" Doc asked.
"What? Ah, come on. Don't ask all at once..." he said, chuckling.
