A/N: I hope you all like this one, since most DT stories ignore it, but it's one of my favourites. And, when I first saw Abaranger and realized the TV episode was one of their episodes dubbed, it really got me into the Super Sentai franchise as well as the Power Rangers one.
Please read and review?

In Hayley's Cyberspace, at night-time, Conner, Kira and Mei all entered as they heard a noise, before they saw a TV near the couch in the back, hearing gunfire from it.
"Fire up the lane!" a man said.
Gunfire was heard from the screen, followed by aeroplanes soaring down from the sky, as the three Rangers came out from behind the counter. They heard the channel changing, now hearing somebody running quickly, like on Loony Toons.
"What's going on?" Conner wondered.
"No clue." Kira said.
"Let's check it out." Mei said.
They all approached the TV, as the channel got changed, now hearing people shot loudly. They heard Ethan laughing, telling them he was sitting in front of the TV, who changed the channel again, now seeing a Police chase.
"Whoa." he said, holding the remote and a bowl of popcorn.
He changed the channel and saw a stadium on the screen, with people roaring, then he changed the channel again, seeing a beeping machine for a quiz show.
"Dude, what you doing?" Conner asked, as Ethan changed the channel again. "We were supposed to be at the library?"
"Hayley got a new satellite dish; 937 channels of paradise." Ethan explained, changing the channel.
"900 channels, and I bet there's still never anything on?" Kira said, as Ethan changed the channel.
"Are you kidding? This is amazing." Ethan said.
"Well, how?" Mei asked.
"There's foreign language soap operas, sumo wrestling, junior girls high school synchronised swimming." Ethan grinned, making the girls smile. "I may never leave this room again."
Conner came over and turned off the TV, as it showed a sci-fi program, as it had a planet and moon on.
"Hey!" Ethan said, turning it back on, showing a news bulletin. "I was watching that."
"What about your social studies assignment on comparing two countries?" Conner asked.
"I'm almost done." Ethan assured.
Kira approached the couch, as Mei approached a seat beside it on her left.
"Me too." Kira said, as she sat down beside Ethan.
"Same here." Mei said, sitting down on the seat.
"Yeah, well, I haven't started it." Conner said. "I'll see you guys later."
He turned around and walked off.
Ethan changed the channel, shocking the three Rangers as they sat up.
A Japanese man leaning against a wall at an airport.
"No way?" Ethan gasped, as they sat up. "Conner, you gotta see this?"
"What?" Conner asked, coming back over.
Ethan moved along, as the screen showed Conner's suit spinning around.
"Whoa, it's us?" Kira said.
A Japanese man stood near a sliver car, his hair tied slightly in a ponytail, before it zoomed it on him, then he spun around, showing Ethan's suit.
"Not exactly." Conner said, sitting down between Kira and Ethan.
A Japanese woman with short brown hair stood by a bicycle, before it zoomed in on her, then she spun around, showing Kira's suit.
"Okay, Ethan, what is this?" Mei asked.
Ethan began to look through the guide book.
A Japanese woman with longer brown hair stood by a building, before it zoomed in on her, then she spun around, showing Mei's suit.
"According to the satellite guide it's a Japanese version about the world famous Power Rangers." Ethan explained, as Conner ate some popcorn. "They even dubbed it in English."
"We're a TV show in Japan? I gotta see this." Kira said.
"Same here, Kira." Mei smiled.
Tommy's suit held his Bracho Staff as he looked forward.
"Look, there's Dr. O." Ethan said.
The girls giggled.
Tommy's suit spun around, showing a Japanese man wearing warrior clothing, with two small objects on each cheek.
"Maybe not." Ethan said.
The man turned to a woman in Japanese Samurai armour.
"Looks whack." Conner said, eating some popcorn.
The four main Rangers ride their Raptor Riders.
"How do you know it's whack?" Ethan questioned. "You haven't even given it a chance."
"It wasn't even made here." Conner said. "I mean, what would they know about Power Rangers in Japan?"
"Only one way to find out." Kira said. "I for one, I wanna know what they think of us."
"Mm-mm." Ethan mumbled, his mouth full.
They both bumped their fists three times, then clicked their fingers, as Conner sighed.
"Oh, come on, Conner, give it a chance?" Mei asked.
Conner sighed as he ate some popcorn.
In a curry shop, a bunch of fruit was on a counter, where the Red, Yellow and Purple Rangers were, along with a girl with glasses. The Rangers all had jackets on with their Dinozords on the chests.
"Who wants to try some of my curry?" Yellow asked, pouring some into a bowl shaped like a dinosaur, which also had rice in.
She put the scooper into a bowl full of curry, then she turned around and approached the others.
"It smells delicious, just like Mom used to make." the girl said.
"It sure looks good." Red said.
"Maybe too good, Ryker." Purple said nervously.
The Blue Ranger came in with a newspaper and walked over to a table beneath a T-Rex's head shape.
"Thanks, Ryker." Yellow said.
Ethan smiled as they kept watching.
"Hey, how's it going?" Blue asked.
"Hey." the others said.
"Hey, Kenny." Purple said.
Kenny sat at the table and looked at the front page of the paper, which showed a famous African-American baseball player.
"Whacker Wilson is coming to Japan." he said. "Those American baseball players are always so greedy."
"How do you know?" his morpher asked. "Have you met them all?"
"Who asked you?" Kenny said.
"Ah! Too spicy!" Ryker complained, having eaten some of the curry.
"Toughen up." Yellow smirked.
"That's how my Mom makes it." the girl said.
"Ruth, Ella, you guys like way too much spice." Purple said, disgusted.
"Well, tough luck, Nora." Ruth said, who was Yellow.
Kira and Mei smiled as they kept watching.
"You guys should takes my curry?" Kenny said.
He got up and approached the counter.
"I can't taste anything anymore." Ryker said, moving away.
"I'll make some. You'll love it." Kenny assured.
He picked up a pineapple and threw it up slightly before catching it.
Conner picked up the remote and turned off the TV in annoyance.
"Hey!" Ethan exlcaimed, his mouth full.
"Huh?" Kira muttered.
"What?" Mei gasped, as Conner put the remote down.
"What'd you do that for?" Ethan asked, picking up the remote.
"This is totally weird." Conner said. "They've got it all wrong."
"Hello, secret identities." Ethan said. "How're they suppose to know what we're like?"
"Yeah, but did you see the Red guy?" Conner asked. "I mean, he's nothing like me. Not to mention his name's different."
"Just 'cause something is different, doesn't mean it's bad." Kira said.
"Conner, in most dubbed stuff, the writer's change people's names." Mei reasoned. "And besides, the episode's only begun. You never know what might happen."
"Besides, I'm nothing like the Blue guy." Ethan added. "I just wanna see what kind of curry he's gonna make."
He turned the TV back on, showing a lair based shaped like a giant in a desert.
"Hey, check it out? A villain's evil lair." Kira said.
In the lair, the samurai woman was thinking about something. Behind her, was a little girl dressed in white, and two monsters. One was part amoeba, artist and ancient warrior, while the other was part amoeba, crystal, and musical instruments.
"I hate the Power Rangers!" she thought.
The Black Ranger runs down a street.
"But the Black Ranger I hate most of all." she thought.
She brought out her sword and slashed it downwards in anger.
"Hey, here's a thought, Missy." the girl suggested, moving towards her, stopping between her and the others. "Instead of mumbling to yourself, why don't you finally do something about it?"
Missy huffed.
"Great idea, Boss." Gen. 1 said.
"I love it." Gen. 2 said. "No wonder you're in charge."
The girl turned around to them both.
"That's right, I am in charge." she said, her eyes glowing green. "Don't forget it!"
She shot lighting out of her hands, hitting the Gens.
"AHH!" they moaned.
The four Rangers watched with interest.
Boss stopped the lighting and turned around to Missy.
"And as for you, Missy, I know you burrowed my hairspray without asking." she said. "Take that!"
She shot lighting out of her hands, which hit Missy.
"AHH! AH!" she moaned. "AH!"
"Hairspray? That gives me an idea." Gen. 1 said.
He turned around and opened up a book, showing various different hairstyles.
"Nothing's more freighting than a bad haircut." he said.
Kira giggled as Mei eat some popcorn.
"Ah, the mushroom. So yesterday, so evil." Gen. 1 said.
He laughed as he dabbed the end of his staff into some yellow paint.
"That's their evil plan; bad hair?" Conner questioned, disbelievingly.
"Hey, I've seen you have some pretty bad hair days." Kira joked. "It's kinda scary."
"Besides, there might be more to this." Mei reasoned.
"Shh!" Ethan hissed, eating popcorn.
Conner rolled his eyes as he turned back to the TV.
In the curry shop, Kenny had made his curry, which was covered in different types of fruit. He stood behind the counter, as Ella and the other Rangers stared at it. (Nora was on Ruth's right)
"What is it?" Ryker questioned.
They all looked up at Kenny.
"Curry Fruit Surprise." he said. "Try it?"
"Uh..." Ruth and Ryker said.
"Um..." Nora said.
They and Ella all turned around and moved towards the table.
"Guys?" Kenny said.
They all stopped and turned around to him, with fake smiles, before they turned back.
"I can't eat it." Ruth said. "I'll hurl."
"I have acid reflux." Ella said, pointing over her shoulder.
"Okay, then who's going to try it?" Ryker asked, pointing at them both.
"Don't look at me?" Nora said. "I'm not eating that."
The door opened up, making them look up, as a man entered.
"Top of the morning." he said, with a Irish accent.
Ella and the Rangers smiled.
"Mr. O'Shaughnessy." Ruth said.
"Have we got something for you." Ryker said.
"I'm outta here." O'Shaughnessy said.
He turned to open the door, as Ryker ran towards him.
"No!" Ella begged.
"Wait? I hope you're hungry?" Ryker asked.
He led O'Shaughnessy towards the table.
"Here, have a seat?" Ryker said.
"Have we got a big surprise for you." Ruth said.
"Specially made right now." Nora added.
"Go get it." Ryker said.
Ella nodded, then turned and ran over to Kenny's curry, which she picked up.
"Here it is." she said, approaching O'Shaughnessy, as Kenny gasped. "Yummy, yummy."
"No." O'Shaughnessy said, as Ella handed him the curry.
Kenny turned around and folded his arms.
"It smells funny." O'Shaughnessy said.
"Just one bite?" Ryker asked.
"Go on, please?" Nora begged.
"Yeah." Ruth said.
Ella turned as the Black Ranger came in.
"Hey, Mikey." Ella said. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm starving." Mikey said, touching his belly. "You got anything to eat around here?"
"This is your lucky day." O'Shaughnessy said, getting up.
"It's free?" Mikey asked.
"I pay ya to eat it." O'Shaughnessy smiled.
Mikey put some kiwi in his mouth, then began to bite part of a pear.
"Ah!" Ella gasped.
"Uh..." the Rangers gulped.
"He likes it." Kenny said. "He really likes it."
"So it seems." Ella noted.
Mikey ate another bite, but then covered his hand with his mouth, before he ran off.
"Oh..." Ella said.
"Where's the bathroom!" Mikey cried.
"Mikey!" Ella exclaimed, chasing after him.
They all heard a door close.
"Everyone's a critic." Kenny thought.
Ryker turned as he heard a noise, seeing the screen in the T-Rex's mouth was flashing the word 'Emergency' against the chest symbol.
"Huh? Looks like we got an emergency." he said.
Ethan smiled as Conner looked slightly annoyed.
"I'll show you out, Mr. O'Shaughnessy." Ruth said.
O'Shaughnessy stood outside, as Ruth put a sign on the door handle.
"You can take that to go." she said, before closing the door.
"Hmm? Okay, I'll give it to me mother-in-law." he said.
He walked off.
Inside, the four Rangers stood near a computer device which came down from the ceiling, as the screen began to scan the city, before it picked up something.
"Alien lifeforces detected downtown." Kenny said.
"Right." Ryker said, before he turned left. "How's he doing in there?"
Ella was crouched down near a door, before she turned to it.
"Black Ranger, we need you." she said, pounding on it, as Mikey was behind it, throwing up.
"We don't have time." Ryker said.
Ruth and Nora nodded.
"Hey, clean up after him, okay?" Ryker asked, as he ran off.
The others followed as he opened the door.
"Ew! That's gross!" Ella complained.
In the city, a bunch of people were walking by a railing near the ocean, including an African-American, who wore sunglasses, and had a hoody up.
"I've always wanted to see Japan." he said. "Huh?"
He turned and saw people running away from a bear/mushroom/ATM/coin monster, who laughed evilly.
"What is that?" the man wondered.
"Oh, come on? That is so a guy in a rubber suit!" Conner said.
"No one said this was a documentary." Ethan said, his mouth full. "Use your imagination?"
"Like anyone's gonna believe a combination bear/mushroom/ATM monster?" Conner said.
"Is it really any stranger than anything we've been fighting?" Kira asked.
"Yeah. We've had a shark/car/flower monster, a octopus/mattress table/ivy monster, and a donkey/vacuum/pomegranate monster to name a few." Mei recalled.
Conner flinched and thought as they went back to the screen.
The monster waved his hands around.
"My name is Ka-Ching, a monster who feeds on greed." he declared, holding up a mushroom. "With my magic mushrooms, I'll soon control the world."
He threw one at two sumo wrestlers, hitting the larger one as the other hid behind him.
"Ah!" the second cried.
The first cried as the mushroom gave him a pink wig.
"Pink hair, quite a scare." Ka-Ching joked.
Kira and Mei both laughed, Mei holding a hand over her mouth, as Ethan smiled.
Ka-Ching held another mushroom, staring at an old woman.
"Hello, granny." he said, throwing it.
"Ah!" she yelped, as it hit her.
"Time for a makeover." Ka-Ching joked, as it gave her a blue wig.
Ka-Ching laughed as the other people all ran off past the American, who looked confused.
"Huh?" he muttered. "What the?"
"Lookie here, an American tourist?" Ka-Ching joked. "You look like you're ready for a new do. What?"
He turned around, as the four Rangers all came out from behind a bush on a wall.
"Hey, bear-monster-thing!" Ryker said.
They all stopped and stared at him. (Nora was on Kenny's right)
"Wait your turn!" Ka-Ching snarled.
"Let's do it!" Ryker said.
The Rangers all held their left arms out.
"Let's do it!" Ryker said.
They pulled the mouths open on their morphers.
"Dino Thunder Power Up, ha!" they shouted, putting their left wrists by their heads, crossing their right over with their hands like claws, then they put their right hands out with their left behind them, then pulled their right hands back to touch their morphers with two fingers.
(Morph sequence)
The screen split into four, Kenny in the top left, Ryker in the top right, Nora in the bottom left, Ruth in the bottom right. They all stood still as their suits moved up them all, then once their helmets were on, they roared.
(End morph sequence)
"I didn't tell anyone!" Ethan said, shocked. "You guys?"
"I didn't." Mei said. "Kira?"
"Not me." Kira said.
"Hey, at least we're getting some action." Conner admitted.
Ryker put his hand to his chest, then held it up, clutching his fist.
"Ready, guys? Tyranno Power, Red Ranger!" he shouted, doing his pose.
Kenny did the same. "Tricera Power, Blue Ranger!" he shouted, doing his pose.
Ruth did the same. "Ptera Power, Yellow Ranger!" she shouted, doing her fight pose. "Hyah!"
Nora did the same. "Campto Power, Purple Ranger!" she shouted, doing her pose.
"Roar of thunder!" Ryker shouted, crossing his forearms over.
He held them other the top and bottom of his chest symbol like claws, as the chest symbol came out, then they all turned left, holding their left arms up and their right out.
"Dino Rangers!" they shouted.
The Tyrannozord roared, followed by the Tricerazord, the Pterazord, then the Camptozord.
"Hyah!" the Rangers shouted, stomping their left feet on the ground, as the chest symbol popped up behind them.
"Very impressive." Ka-Ching joked, clapping his hands. "But I brought special guest stars. Triptoids!"
A bunch of Triptoids began running towards the Rangers.
"Huh?" the American muttered, turning around, as they past him. "Hey?"
He turned back to some of them, as more ran past him.
"What? Whoa!" he said.
Ryker jumped up and dived over Ka-Ching, kicking the back of his head as he did, then he dived towards the Triptoids.
He ducked and ran past one as it tried to slash him, then he kneed another's chest, before grabbing its arm and flipping it over. Kenny kicked one's face, then knocked another's arm before elbowing it, then he turned and grabbed the first's staff. Ruth chopped ones staff with her arm, then chopped its back, then hit another's staff with her arm. Nora ducked and ran past one as it tried to hit her, before she kicked another's belly, then she turned around and blocked the first's staff with her forearm.
"Wow." the American said.
"Smash and bash, and I'll pay you cash." Ka-Ching joked.
Kenny grabbed a Triptoid's staff, as Ryker got locked in a grapple with one, while Nora ducked and punched one as it tried to whack her.
"Wait until I unleash my mushrooms on the Rangers." Ka-Ching smirked.
Ryker did his fight pose, wearing a black wig.
"Red Ranger!" he shouted.
"Blue Ranger!" Kenny shouted, doing his, wearing a light brown wig.
Ethan smiled.
Ruth did her fighting pose, wearing a pink wig.
"Yellow Ranger!" she shouted.
"Purple Ranger!" Nora shouted, doing hers, wearing a blonde wig.
They all turned left, holding their left arms up and their right out.
"Winny Rangers!" they shouted.
Kira laughed.
The Tyrannozord neighed, then the Tricerazord meowed, the Pterazord quacked, then the Camptozord squeaked.
"Hyah!" the Rangers shouted, stomping their left feet on the ground.
"And my hair has bounce." Ryker joked, touching it.
"Oh... Oh, that's it." Conner said, fed up. "I mean, they're totally making fun of us. I'm outta here."
He got up and began to walk off.
"Conner, wait?" Ethan asked.
Conner turned around.
"So this isn't exactly the most actuate version of our jobs as Power Rangers." Ethan said. "It is kinda fun."
"Yeah, I'm loving this." Mei said.
"You haven't even given it a chance." Kira said. "Don't you wanna see how it ends?"
"It ends with me heading out that door, going to the library and finishing my report." Conner said, pointing behind him. "I'll see you guys later."
He turned and walked off, as Ethan turned to the girls and grinned.
"He'll be back." he said.
"How d'you know?" Kira asked.
Ethan picked up Conner's backpack, putting it on the couch.
"Oh..." Mei said.
"'Cause he forgot this." Ethan smirked. "Shall we?"
"We shall." Mei said.
They all turned to the TV.
"This is gonna be hilarious!" Ka-Ching said.
He brought out a mushroom, then threw it at Kenny.
"Whoa!" he yelped, ducking to avoid it.
Ryker, Ruth and Nora all grappled with some Triptoids as it shot past them, shooting right towards the American.
"Look out!" Kenny yelled, turning to him.
"Huh?" Ryker muttered, holding a Triptoid's arm.
"Run!" Ruth yelled, holding one's shoulder.
"Move!" Nora yelled, holding twos staffs.
The American dropped his bags, then took a baseball bat out of a bag shaped like it, then held it up.
"What's he doing?" Kenny muttered.
The American remained still, then swung his bat - with the people seeing him spin around - before he whacked the mushroom with his bat, sending it back.
"Huh?" the Rangers muttered.
They all turned as it hit Ka-Ching right in the face, giving him a light blue wig with bits of purple.
"NO!" he cried.
"Oh..." the Rangers.
The Triptoids all laughed at him, covering their mouthpieces with their hands.
"Hey! It's only funny when I do it!" Ka-Ching exclaimed.
His body vanished as his wig spun around in the air, before it vanished. The Triptoids jumped up and vanished, leaving the Rangers alone.
"Huh?" they muttered.
"Where did everybody go?" Ruth wondered.
"No clue." Ryker said.
"You got me." Nora said.
The American lowered his bat, as the Rangers all ran closer to him, before they stopped. (Nora was on Ruth's left)
"Who are you?" Ruth asked.
The American lowered his hood and took off his sunglasses. Kenny walked forward slightly, before he de-morphed, recognizing the face.
"It's Whacker Wilson, the greedy American baseball player." he said.
The others ran towards him.
"Hey." Ryker said.
"Oh..." Ruth said.
"Wow." Nora said.
Whacker picked up his bag.
"You guys are good fighters." he said, before he turned and walked off. "See you around."
"Wait?" Kenny said, making him stop. "What are you doing here?"
Whacker dropped his stuff and began to approach him.
"Oh, my back is killing me!" he complained.
"Huh?" the Rangers muttered.
"I heard the world's best chiropractor lives here." Whacker explained.
"You're right, he does." Kenny said. "You're not here to play baseball?"
"You're hear looking for this chiropractor?" Ryker asked, moving closer to Whacker.
"Yes. How can I play baseball when I can hardly move?" Whacker questioned, as he turned and walked off slightly. "I have to find this chriopractor. His name is Kenny Yukito."
Kenny's eyes widened as his friends gasped with their mouths open.
"Huh? That's him." they said, pointing at Kenny.
"Hey?" Whacker said, turning around.
Kenny blushed with embarrassment.
Ethan ate some popcorn as Mei giggled.
"They think you're a chiropractor?" she said. "That's so opposite of you, Ethan."
"Funny. I wonder what they think the rest of you are like then?" Ethan said.
Conner came back and got to the back of the couch, as Ethan ate popcorn from two bowls. Conner stopped and bent down, wiping some popcorn off his backpack.
"Come on, Conner, take a seat?" Ethan asked, as Conner picked up his backpack.
He looked at the TV, then at his friends, then back at the TV.
"Is it really that good?" he asked.
"You'll never know if you don't watch for yourself." Kira said.
"And I think it's getting interesting." Mei said.
"Shh!" Ethan hissed.
Conner put his backpack down and watched the episode.
Ruth, Ryker and Nora all sat on some outdoor steps with a bag of mushrooms, eating some each. They all watched Kenny and Whacker, Whacker lying down on a outdoor concreate bench, as Kenny worked on his back. (Nora was on Ryker's right)
"Okay, just relax?" Kenny asked.
"Oh! Ooh! That tickles." Whacker laughed.
"I read that Whacker Wilson makes five million a year." Ruth said, turning to Ryker and Nora.
"Really?" Ryker asked, turning to her. "Five million?"
"No way?" Nora asked, turning to Ruth.
"Yep." Ruth nodded.
They all turned to Kenny and Whacker, as their eyes popped out of them. They eyeballs flashed, Nora's being the dollar sign and 5, while the others had Japanese writing on, as money came falling down all around them.
Whacker lay on his side as Kenny kept working on him, his head facing the sky.
"Ah! AHH!" he moaned.
"That's it. Hold still?" Kenny asked. "We're almost done."
He cracked some bones in Whacker's body.
"Careful? Careful?" Whacker asked.
"D'you think Kenny's right?" Ruth asked. "That Whacker only plays for the money?"
"I don't know." Ryker said. "He seems to really love baseball."
"I guess it depends on what people think." Nora said.
"Just one last push and we're done." Kenny said.
Two of Whacker's spine bones moved around, fixing it up.
"AH!" Whacker gasped.
"All better." Kenny said.
"Are you sure?" Whacker asked.
He rolled off the bench and onto the ground, as Kenny clutched his right wrist - the others now having left.
"The magic is all in the wrist." Kenny said.
Whacker got up and onto the bench.
"Man, are you crazy?!" he exclaimed, as Japanese writing appeared around him. "What have you gone and done to my back?!"
"Before you speak another word, test your back?" Kenny asked.
"Oh." Whacker said. "Yeah."
He began to wiggle his hips, dancing his legs around.
"Wow, you're a genius. Oh, yeah." he said, twirling around 360 degrees. "Forget baseball. I'm gonna become a ballroom dance champion."
He stopped and held his left hand up, and his right down.
Ethan smiled as Mei and Kira laughed.
"Cool moves." Mei joked.
"Man, you're the best." Whacker said.
He held Kenny's arms, as Kenny touched his head.
"You should be all set now." Kenny said.
He lowered his hand as Whacker backed away slightly.
"Hey, you saved me. Now I can play baseball again." Whacker said. "And I'm gonna tell everyone what a great chiropractor you are. Imagine the incredible career you could have? You could be rich."
Kenny touched his forehead.
"Hmm. I don't have time for that." he said.
"You don't?" Whacker asked.
"No. I have a more important job." Kenny said, as Whacker backed away.
"Like what?" Whacker asked.
"I'm a Power Ranger." Kenny explained, morphing up.
"Is there good money in that?" Whacker asked.
"It doesn't pay a thing." Kenny said.
He walked past Whacker and began to walk up the steps.
"Huh?" Whacker muttered, turning around. "Whoa. I don't get it?"
"Good to meet you, Whacker Wilson. Enjoy your stay in Japan." Kenny said, saluting with two fingers.
"I don't get it? Why would he do it for nothing?" Whacker wondered, picking up his stuff.
He turned and approached a railing near a lake.
"I'm starting to see the moral here." Kira said.
"What; that Power Rangers are doofuses?" Conner asked, annoyed.
"No. That money isn't everything." Kira said, turning to him, whacking his arm. "Have you not been paying attention?"
"Yeah, 'cause it sounds like your haven't?" Mei noted.
Conner reached for some popcorn in one of the bowls.
"Hey!" Ethan said, whacking his hand.
"Come on? Share?" Conner complained.
He grabbed some popcorn as Ethan turned to him.
Whacker stared at the lake.
"I feel so much better now." he said. "I can really enjoy my time here in Japan. It's beautiful."
Ka-Ching showed up and patted his shoulder.
"Excuse me?" he asked.
"Yeah?" Whacker said.
He turned left, then gasped at the sight of Ka-Ching.
"Ah!" he gasped.
"Oh, no, don't be scared." Ka-Ching said, putting his hands on his face.
He held up a piece of paper and pen.
"I just want your autograph, Mr. Famous Baseball star." he explained.
"Oh, okay." Whacker said.
He took the paper and pen, then began to sign it.
"Have a mushroom?" Ka-Ching joked, holding it up.
"AH!" Whacker gasped.
Ka-Ching shoved it into his face.
"American sports heroes are so gullible, that's what you get for having such a huge ego." he laughed.
He began to dance as Whacker slammed the ground with his fists, on all fours.
"Time to get wigging with it!" Ka-Ching roared.
Conner got in front of the TV, having had enough of it, holding his shirt open to cover it up completely.
"Okay, it's bad enough that they've made us look like fools, but to make fun of our sports heroes? Where is your pride?" Conner asked, as the others moved to try and see. "I will not sit here and let them get away with this!"
In the curry shop, Kenny sat at the T-Rex table, reading a magazine, as Ruth, Ryker, Nora and Ella all played Monopoly in a room.
"Don't you think you're overacting just a little?" Kira asked. "I mean, it's a TV show!"
"Yeah, but don't you see what this represents?" Conner snapped. "This is what they think of us in Japan!"
"How can you say that?!" Kira asked rudely. "This is one episode of one TV show, and not even the whole episode!"
"Yeah, you're being unfair with it, Conner!" Mei snapped. "We haven't even reached the end!"
Conner glared at her, for being a sportswoman, he thought she'd be more annoyed.
"Look, my suggestion is, you sit down and watch the rest of it." Ethan suggested. "If you still don't like what you saw, you can write the TV station, the congressman, the president, whatever. Right now, I just wanna see if the Power Rangers can help Whacker Wilson learn the error of his ways. Now..."
"Move?" they all asked, motioning with their hands.
Conner stared at them all, before he closed his jacket and walked off, annoyed.
Kenny raced a motorbike with a sidecar down a road.
"Finally." Ethan said.
"Thank you." Kira said.
"Yeah." Mei said.
"Okay, I'll give it another chance." Conner sighed. "Move over?"
Kira moved along so Conner could sit down between her and Ethan, who brushed some popcorn away as he did.
Kenny stood by a railing at a lake, leaning on it.
"I was right about Whacker. He'll never change." he thought.
"Hey, back-cracker!" a voice called.
Kenny turned around and saw Whacker coming towards him, holding two bags of money.
"Lookie what I got?" he said.
"What?" Kenny asked.
"Big bulging bags of bucks." Whacker explained.
Conner sighed and breathed, making Mei roll her eyes.
"I'm richer than ever. See." Whacker said.
"I told you; that doesn't impress me." Kenny said, walking off slightly, his hands in his jacket pocket.
He stopped and turned his head, as Whacker bent down, then began to go through one of the bags.
"But I wanna play you for fixing my back." he said. "How much do you want?"
"No." Kenny said, turning around. "Please?"
Whacker brought out some notes, as his hood fell off, showing a bright blue wig.
"How 'bout 10,000 dollars?" he said.
"Where'd you get that?" Kenny gasped.
"Here?" Whacker said, shoving the money at him.
Kenny looked at the money, as Whacker handed him more and more.
"In the Home Run Derby. I cheated like crazy, now I'm loaded." he said, holding some notes up.
"Huh?" Kenny gasped.
Whacker held the notes in his face.
(Montage)
Whacker came up to pitch in a baseball stadium, before he held up some notes from his shirt.
"I bribed the opposing pitcher and he tossed me big fat marshmallows."
The pitcher nodded, then threw the ball towards him.
"I hit them right out of the park and picked up the big cash prize."
Whacker hit the ball with his baseball bat, sending it right out of the park.
"Oh, yeah!" he said.
Two money notes appeared on the ball, then it flapped them as it began to fly.
"Yippie! I'm rich!" Whacker cheered.
Japanese writing appeared in front of it, when the Japanese flag appeared behind him.
(Montage ends)
"Keep your money." Kenny said, as Whacker pulled the money back. "You're worse than I thought."
"No, take it?" Whacker asked, putting more into Kenny's hands. "I insist. Money is the only thing that makes you happy. Take it? Take it all?"
He handed Kenny the bag, who then threw it and the notes away.
"I don't want it!" Kenny snapped.
"Ah!" Whacker gasped. "Oh!"
He ran towards the bag frantically, then crouched near it.
"My money! Money! Money!" he cried.
"Whacker?" Kenny gasped.
He turned and saw the old woman chasing after a high school girl.
"Give me your milk money, little girl?" she asked, holding notes. "Give me your milk money?"
They passed by two sumo wrestlers - including the one with the pink wig, who only wore a mawashi.
"Drop the purse or I'll sit on you!" he warned, stomping his feet.
The other panicked and ran from his right to left.
"Get away?" he begged.
A bird crowed, making Kenny look up.
"Huh?" he muttered.
A bird with a pink wig landed on his head, its mouth full of money notes.
"This is crazy. Even the birds are obsessed with money? It must be those bad wigs." Kenny realized, as the bird flew off.
"My money!" Whacker cried, stuffing it into the bag. "My money!"
"Whacker, you've gotta snap out of it?" Kenny asked, touching his shoulder.
"My money!" Whacker cried.
"Whacker, stop!" Kenny yelled.
"Excuse me?" Ka-Ching asked, patting Kenny's back from behind.
"Huh?" Kenny gasped, turning around.
Conner kept on his eyes on the TV.
"Hey, butt out!" Ka-Ching yelled.
He punched Kenny's face and knocked him away, making him roll away.
"Oh!" he moaned, stopping on his chest.
"Time for a change." Ka-Ching joked.
He began shooting coins out of his ATM chest, which hit Kenny as he sat up, making his shield his face with his arms, trapping him in a pile of them.
"AHH! NO!" he cried.
Ka-Ching laughed as he stopped shooting.
"There's nothing you can do to stop me!" he laughed.
The Rangers all watched with interest, even Conner starting to like this bit.
"Soon, the whole world will be controlled by greed!" Ka-Ching declared, laughing.
Ryker, Nora and Ruth all ran towards Kenny - all morphed.
"Back off!" they yelled, stopping. (Nora was on Ryker's left)
They all turned to Kenny.
"Are you okay? Hey, what are you doing in a pile of coins?" Ryker asked, holding his hands to make a box shape.
"Yeah. How'd you end up like that?" Nora asked.
"I think I got it." Ruth said, as Kenny turned to her. "Yeah. Whacker Wilson must've done it."
"And he's right there." they all said, pointing at him.
"My money!" Whacker panicked, as he kept stuffing it into his bag.
"It wasn't Whacker, genius." Kenny said, annoyed. "It was the monster. We've gotta stop him!"
He morphed up and jumped with his saber, knocking away all the coins around him.
"Whoa!" the others yelped, backing away.
"Cool." Conner said quietly.
"Listen, Rangers, I've had enough of all your screaming and morphing hooey!" Ka-Ching roared. "Once and for all, I'm going to destroy you!"
He shot coins from his ATM machine at them all, as they held their sabers, hitting them all over.
"AHH!" they moaned. "Ah! AH!"
Kenny spun around as they kept hitting him.
"AH!" he moaned.
"Oh! AH!" Ryker moaned.
"AHH!" Ruth moaned. "AHH!"
"AH! AHH!" Nora moaned, before she went flying away. "AHH!"
"AH!" Ruth yelled, following her.
"WHOA!" Kenny yelled, following them.
"WHOA!" Ryker yelled, following them.
They all landed on the ground near the docks, rolling over near a ship docked in the harbor. They all got up and stared at Ka-Ching, backing away slightly as they did. (Nora was on Kenny's right)
"Fight with me, Rangers, and I'll make you rich!" he promised. "Rich! Rich!"
"Can you believe this guy?" Ryker asked.
"He thinks he can buy us off?" Ruth said, pointing at him.
"How much money are we talking about?" Ryker asked.
"Huh?" his team gasped, turning to him.
"I mean; never!" he said, punching his fist down.
"Hey!" Ruth said.
"You had us worried." Kenny said.
"And very funny, Ryker!" Nora said sarcastically.
"Well, it doesn't hurt to ask." Ryker said, folding his arms. "Had you going though, didn't I?"
Conner lowered his hand, now completely interested like the rest.
Ryker laughed, before they all turned, and saw Mikey racing towards them on his Raptor Rider, which dragged behind a cart with five large piggy banks on.
"There you are. I've been looking all over for you." he said.
His Raptor stopped.
"Whoa, boy." he said. "Hey, guys, I think I have something that might help. Grab one?"
"It's the Black Ranger?" Ryker said, touching Ruth's shoulder.
"He's done whelping." Ruth said happily.
"Good." Nora said, as they ran towards him.
Ryker picked up red one piggy bank resembling a large tomato, with a culture mask on the back, while Ruth picked up one resembling a treasure chest.
"Let's get this loser." Ryker said.
Kenny picked up one resembling a cat statue, while Nora picked up one resembling a Japanese monk, while Mikey picked up the last one, which resembled a safe.
They all ran together, as Ka-Ching stared at them.
"So, you brought some money banks, huh?" he asked, as they stopped in a line. "Well, let me help you fill them?"
He began shooting money from his ATM machine at the Rangers. (Nora was on Kenny's left)
"Try to catch the money." Mikey said.
They all began to catch the money into their piggy banks.
"Oh." Ethan said.
"Wow." Mei said.
Kira turned slightly, seeing Conner touching Ethan's arm with excitement.
"Whoa!" Ryker gasped, as he kept catching the money.
"That's it!" Mikey said, catching some.
"It's working." Ruth said, catching some.
"Let's hope he runs out." Nora said, catching some.
"Yeah." Kenny said.
He caught some more, until two got jammed in his piggy bank's hole.
"Uh-oh! Mine's full!" he gasped.
Several coins fell out of Ruth's chest.
"Mine too!" she exclaimed, looking at it.
"So's mine!" Nora gasped, looking at hers.
"And mine!" Ryker exclaimed.
Coins hit the five Rangers all over, knocking them all down.
"AHH!" they moaned.
Ruth fell onto her side, the others onto their backs, with the lose coins falling out of their piggy banks.
"Ha, ha! Jackpot!" Ka-Ching whooped, clapping his hands. "You lose."
The Rangers all pulled themselves up.
"Now what are we gonna do?" Mikey wondered.
Whacker came out from behind a wall, holding his money bags.
"Hey, look at the money Ka-Ching got me?" he asked.
He began to run towards the Rangers, as they turned to him.
"Join him! Make me rich!" he said.
"Whacker?" Kenny said.
(Flashback ends)
Whacker held up his bat, then he swung his bat - with the people seeing him spin around - before he whacked the mushroom with his bat, sending it back.
(Flashback ends)
"If he really loves baseball more than money, maybe we can save him." Kenny thought. "Now batting, number 1; Whacker Wilson!"
"What?" Whacker questioned, stopping.
"Play ball!" Kenny yelled.
He threw his piggy bank towards him.
"Come on, Whacker!" Kenny begged.
Whacker's eyes lit up with fire as the piggy bank got nearer him. He brought out and held up his bat, then he swung his bat - with the people seeing him spin around - before he whacked the piggy bank with his bat, sending it back.
"Yes!" Kenny whooped, as it shot past him.
"Oh, no!" Ka-Ching exclaimed, as hit hit him.
Coins fell out of the piggy bank, as it hit his head and bounced away.
"AH!" he moaned.
The Rangers all watched with excitement, Conner now with his arm wrapped around Ethan, as the girls laughed.
"Grand slam!" Kenny joked.
"Oh, I need a nap." Ka-Ching said, putting his hands near his right ear, as snow fell around him.
He fell down onto his side and fell asleep, pretending he was in an igloo, as Ruth stared at him.
"Huh? Sweet dreams." she called, waving.
Flowers bloomed on a tree, before a bird coo-cooed.
"Wait a minute..." Ka-Ching said, getting up, now back in reality. "Where am I? You rotten little punks!"
He roared as he pulled his right foot back, then he began charging at the Rangers wildly. He slashed Ryker with his left hand as he ran past him, then slashed Kenny with his right, then slashed Mikey with his left, then Nora with his right, then Ruth with his right, knocking her down. He turned and ran past Ryker while slashing him, flipping him over onto his back, then did the same with Kenny, then Nora.
"Ah!" they moaned.
Mikey tried to slash Ka-Ching with his staff, but he knocked the staff down, then slashed Mikey across the chest.
"AH!" Mikey moaned.
He hit the ground and rolled over, then got up and turned around, as the others gathered around him. (Nora was on Kenny's right)
"The world is mine!" Ka-Ching declared. "No one can stop me!"
"I think it's time we trashed the cash monster." Ruth said.
"Okay, it's on!" Kenny said, clutching his fist.
The Rangers kept watching.
All but Mikey combined their weapons into the Z-Rex Blaster.
"Z-Rex Blaster!" they said.
Ryker held it up.
"Oh." Kira said.
"Yeah." Conner said, as Ethan turned to him slightly.
Ryker aimed it while the others took their positions.
"Ready?" Kenny said.
Ka-Ching pulled himself up near some creates.
"Wha?" he gasped.
"Aim!" Ruth said.
"Fire!" Ryker shouted.
A blast came out of it with a mouth, which closed up upon hitting Ka-Ching, destroying him.
"AHHH!" he moaned.
"We rock!" Ruth whooped.
Ryker held up the Z-Rex Blaster as the others moved away.
"Yeah!" he whooped.
"We did it!" Kenny said.
"All right!" Nora whooped.
"Yeah!" Conner whooped.
His friends all looked at him as he stood on the couch.
"Yes! Whoo!" he whooped.
He panted with excitement.
"Did you just cheer for it?" Mei asked.
Conner looked at his friends, then he sat down, as the Megazord fight began.
"Well, I mean, it was...it was kinda cool." he admitted.
"See, we're not so different after all." Kira said. "Just a slightly different interpretation."
"And weren't you glad you stayed?" Ethan asked.
"Yeah." Conner admitted. "I guess I am. Whoo."
The next day, Conner entered the Cyber Café, as Hayley served drinks to people sitting at the counter, while carrying a laptop.
"Hey, Hayley. I'm just gonna be using your terminal." he explained, approaching the TV.
"Sure." Hayley said, handing a boy a drink. "Help yourself."
Conner soon sat on the couch, typing on his laptop, while watching a rerun of the episode he watched last night.
"This will be prefect." he said, as he finished.
His work was called 'Japanese vs American Culture: Closer than we think, by Conner McKnight'.
Whacker stood in the Curry shop with Ella and the Rangers.
"This is one amazing country." he said, shaking Kenny's hand. "Thank you so much for everything you taught me."
"I was wrong. You do love baseball more than money." Kenny said.
"Goodbye, and thank you." Whacker said, waving.
Kenny saluted as he turned and began to walk off, as Whacker approached the door.
Conner kept typing as Ethan, Kira and Mei all came up behind the couch.
"You liked it so much you had to catch the rerun?" Ethan inquired.
"Sorta." Conner said, picking up the remote.
He turned the TV off as his friends looked at his work.
"Japanese vs American Culture: Closer than we think'." Kira read.
"Yeah. That show gave me an idea for my social studies assignment." Conner explained. "I compared how they see us as to how we see ourselves."
"Without getting to specific I hope?" Ethan asked.
"Please?" Conner said, closing his laptop. "I admit, I was a little bit sceptical at first, but then I really got to enjoy it."
"Good thing you stayed to watch it last night then, otherwise you wouldn't get the idea for your project." Mei joked.
"Yeah." Conner admitted. "I wouldn't of."
"See; the show was different, but it was still cool." Kira said.
"About from one thing; not enough Red Ranger." Conner said.
He smirked and picked up his laptop, then begna to walk off.
"You're just jealous Blue Ranger saved the day?" Ethan smirked, as the an the girls followed.
"What? Without Yellow Ranger?" Kira questioned, annoyed.
Conner put his backpack over his shoulder.
"That furry faced freak never stood a chance." Kira said, ruffling his hair.
"And what about Purple Ranger?" Mei asked, as she pushed Conner playfully. "She did a fair bit too."
"Oh, come on!" Conner said.
He began to chase after the girls, as Ethan followed them.
Four teens moved towards the couch, two boys, two girls.
"Come on, it's on." one boy said.
They all squeezed onto the couch as he picked up the remote and turned on the TV then the Japanese Power Ranger theme song began to play, showing the opening logo.
A/N: Nora - Mei's counterpart - is played by Nana Katase, who was 21-22 in 2003. If I was doing Abaranger, her real name would be Nozomi Chūza. Her first name means Reliable, dependable, trust worthy, while her surname's first three letters come from Chūseidai, Japanese for Mesozoic. I also hope you like the dubbed names I gave the others, so they wouldn't go unnamed in this.
The italic is the Abaranger episode.
