Power Rangers
Astro Force
Episode 2: Lockdown
Scene 1
(Darren, Haley, and Aurora are with Jenna training at the planetarium. She is showing them to channel thier Aura into elemental power.)
Jenna: You have to feel it inside of you. Channel it then release it.
(Darren releases a stream of water that could cut through rock, Aurora releases a blinding light, and Haley releases a gust of wind.)
Darren: Wow! That was pretty cool. Wait till the guys see this.
Aurora: Speaking of which, where is that bone-headed brother of mine?
Haley: And Ryi, too?
Jenna: They already mastered their Aura Powers. They are at the park training. They will be back later.
Darren: How did they learn it so fast?
Jenna: They practiced all the time, not just when I told them to.
Darren: Touche
Jenna: Come on, Let's get back to work.
Aurora: Right.
Scene 2
(Matt and Ryi are having a sparring session at the park. They are not pulling any punches. After a while, they decide to stop and take a break.)
Matt: Good workout, Bro.
Ryi: Thanks, Man. You should try stepping into the cage sometime. Let me work you in my territory.
Matt: (laughs) Why do you say that?
Ryi: 'Cause you're a natural. You have that karate background, and you boxed for a few years.
Matt: Well, I'll think about it, but think we are training for something a little more important, right now.
Ryi: Yeah, you're right.
(Just then, a rock-based monster appers with a squad of Cosmodrones.)
Minerite: Hello, Rangers. Sorry to interrupt your little fling. Oh, who am I kidding? I love ruining a day! (laughs evilly)
Matt: You up for some on-the-job training?
Ryi: Oh, yeah.
Minerite: Attack!
(The Cosmodrones attack. Matt and Ryi fight them off pretty easily. Then, they go after Minerite.)
Matt: You're next, Boulder Brain.
Minerite: Gimme all you got!
Matt: (to Ryi) You ready?
Ryi: Ready.
Both: Astro Force Activate!
(With the shout of the morphing call, the Rangers are transformed. They start to fight the monster.)
Minerite: I was realy hoping that you Rangers would have put up more of a fight, but I guess you can't always judge a book by its cover.
Matt: We'll show you what we're really made of!
(With a battle cry, Matt runs to the monster.)
Minerite: Next time, Rangers. I need to recharge.
Matt: I'm not finished with you yet!
(Matt runs and jumps into Minerite's portal after him.)
Ryi: Matt! (to himself) Oh, man! I have to get him back!
Scene 3
(On the other side of the portal, Matt and Minerite land. Matt is no longer morphed and he and Minerite continue to fight.)
Minerite: Give it up, Ranger. Your powers are useless here. Your morphing powers and Aura are nonexsistant thanks to the strong presense of Black Magic.
Matt:(To himself) Well, That's just great. (To the monster) No matter. I can take you myself.
(Just then, King Lacerta walks into the room with a big smile on his face.)
Lacerta: Good job, Minerite. You brought us a Ranger. Put him in the holding cells and prepare for the Games.
(A squad of Cosmodrones take Matt away. Lacerta and Minerite stay behind to discuss a plan.)
Lacerta: Go back to the city, and confront the other Rangers. Do not come back unless they are done for.
Minerite: Yes, Master. (Laughs evilly)
Scene 4
(The Rangers are at the planetarium when Ryi frantically runs in.)
Ryi: Guys! We've got to do something!
Aurora: What's wrong, and where's Matt?
Ryi: We were training at the park and a rock creature attacked us. When he tried to teleport away, Matt jumped in the portal after him.
Jenna: This isn't good. We have to get him back fast.
Aurora: What will happen if we don't get him back in enough time?
Jenna: They will most likely set him up for the Games.
Ryi: What are the Games?
Jenna: Cassieo and Lacerta have this little ritual where they take prisoners and make them fight a massive number of their troops. If he wins, they hold him alive as a slave, and if he loses, he is destroyed. Either way, it's not good.
Ryi: Oh, man! We have to get him back now!
(Just then, the alarms blare. A monitor comes on and shows Minerite wreaking havoc on the city.)
Haley: Looks like we have something else to deal with first.
Darren: Let's go, Guys. Matt doesn't have much time.
Scene 5
(When the Rangers reach the monster, they are already morphed and prepared to fight.)
Darren: Hey you!
Ryi: Where is Matt, Boulder Breath?!
Minerite: I'm afraid we need the Red Ranger to stand and fight our trials. You can't have him!
Aurora: Give us back my brother, you creep!
Minerite: Never! Cosmodrones, attack!
(With rage fueling them, the Rangers fight the Cosmodrones. After they finish them off, they go after Minerite.)
Ryi: Now, I'm going to ask one last time. Where is Matt?
Minerite: Somewhere where you will never reach him.
Ryi: (yells) That's it! I've had enough of you!
(With a fierce battle cry, Ryi runs to fight Minerite with his Astro Striker. He strikes him a few times, then Minerite launches him back with a Boulder Blast.)
Darren: Ryi! Are you okay?
Ryi: Yeah, I'm fine. Guys, we have to end this quickly. Matt needs us. We need to combine our Aura to finish this guy off.
Aurora: Good idea. Let's do it.
All: Aura, combine!
(When they combine their Aura, they blast it at the monster. Then, he is destroyed.)
Ryi: Alright, Guys. Let's go find Matt.
Scene 6
(Matt is in a holding cell, sitting against a wall.)
Cosmodrone: You look so pitiful, Red Ranger, sitting there all hopeless.
Matt: Beat it, Cosmic Breath. Don't you have to be ugly somewhere else?
Cosmodrone: (Growls) I will enjoy watching your demise.
Scene 7
(The other Rangers are at the planetarium looking for a portal to the Dark Castle.)
Ryi: (On the computer.) Guys, I think I found one. Over on the other side of the woods.
Jenna: Okay, here we go. Be careful, Rangers. You will only have your Aura Power for twenty minutes after you cross the portal.
Darren: Will do, Jenna.
Ryi: Alright, Guys. Let's go.
(They go to the other side of the woods and reach the portal. Before they go inside, a squad of Cosmodrones jump out of it.)
Ryi: Now, why did I think that this was going to be easy?
Aurora: We really don't have time for this.
(The Cosmodrones charge at the Rangers and they begin to fight.)
Scene 8
(At the Dark Castle, two Cosmodrones take Matt out of the holding cell and take him to the arena. The entire evil army is watching and cheering.)
Lacerta: My compatriots, today we witness history, the destruction of the Astro Force Red Ranger!
(The audience cheers.)
Lacerta: If he just happens to survives, he will graciously be awarded life as a slave, but otherwise, he will be destroyed. Send in the first wave!
(Matt prepares to fight the first wave of troops.)
Scene 9
(The other finish fighting the Cosmodrones at the portal and prepare to enter.)
Ryi: (Into his morpher) Jenna, we're about to enter the portal. We'll keep in contact.
Jenna: Okay, I will monitor your progress from here.
Ryi: Okay, we're going in.
(The Rangers enter the portal and come out on the other side feeling like their powers have been drained.)
Jenna: That feeling is normal. It is the presence of Black Magic cancelling out your Aura Power.
Ryi: Okay, rewind. Tell us what this is doing again.
Jenna: The Black Magic is so powerful here that it cancels out your Aura Power to a very low amount, and to make matters worse, you can't morph in this dimension.
Ryi: Wel, I guess we had better make this quick, then.
(The Rangers start walking towards the Dark Castle.)
Scene 10
(In the Dark Castle, Matt is still fighting numerous troops in the arena.)
Lacerta: You have lasted alot longer than expected, Ranger. I'm impressed.
Matt: Looks like you've underestimated me. I don't go down without a fight.
Lacerta: Then, it is a fight you will get. Send in the next wave!
Matt: (To himself) Next time, Matt, just keep your mouth shut.
(Matt begins to fight the troops while a general goes to Lacerta with some news.)
General: My Lord, my apologies for interrupting.
Lacerta: What is it, General?
General: It appears that the other Rangers have been spotted on the perimeter of the Castle, Sire.
Lacerta: Send down a monster to welcome them. They cannot morph here, so they will not last long.
General: Right away, Sir!
(Outside of the Castle, a wolf-like monster known as Wolfang appears before the Rangers.)
Wolfang: (Howls) Hey there, Powerless Rangers. Hows about we play us a game?
Ryi: Okay, how about you roll over, play dead, and let us in the Castle?
Wolfang: Not a chance, Rangers! Bring it on!
Ryi: Let's go, Guys!
(With fierce battle cries, They start to fight Wolfang.)
Scene 11
(In the arena, Matt is starting to get beat.)
Lacerta: Finally, we witness the end of the Red Ranger! (laughs evilly)
(The troops continue to gang up on Matt. He starts to get beaten pretty bad.)
Scene 12
(Outside of the Castle, the Rangers continue to battle Wolfang.)
Wolfang: You Rangers are hardly the fight that I imagined. I think I'll let the Cosmodrones finish you off, while I go and destroy your precious city.
(Wolfang enters a portal to Winter Springs. The portal closes before anyone can get to it. The Rangers begin to battle the Cosmodrones.)
Ryi: Guys, you stay here and take care of these space cadets. I'm going to get Matt.
Aurora: Go ahead, we've got this under control.
(Ryi uses an Aura Blast to bust the doors to the castle open. He goes in and looks for Matt.)
Ryi: (To himself) Come on, Matt. Where are you?
(Just then, he hears the roar of the audience in the arena. He goes to the balcony and sees Matt getting beat bad.)
Ryi: (To himself) There he is! I've got to help him!
(Ryi jumps off of the balcony and into the arena.)
Matt: Ryi! What are you doing here?
Ryi: Saving your butt!
Lacerta: What?! Black Ranger, how did you get in here?
Ryi: You know, Lacerta, your portals are just as good as any public transportation. They could use some better security, though.
Lacerta: You will never get out alive! Cosmodrones, attack!
Matt: You know, I'm really starting to hate these things.
(Ryi and Matt Fight their way out of the Castle and meet up with the other Rangers.)
Ryi: Guys! I've got Matt. Let's get out of here and stop Wolfang!
Aurora: (Contacting Jenna) Jenna, we have Matt. We are about to enter the portal back to the city.
Jenna: (Through Morpher) Okay, Wolfang is really doing some damage here, so you guys better hurry.
Matt: Come on, Guys, you heard Jenna. Let's go!
(The Rangers enter the portal and come out in the city.)
Scene 13
(In the Dark Castle, Lacerta is furious, attacking his own army out of sheer rage.)
Lacerta: You Fools! We had them in our grasp. How could you let them esccape?!
Cosmodrone: Our apologies, Master.
Lacerta: Forget your apologies! Bring me those Rangers!
Scene 14
(In the city, the Rangers find Wolfang wreaking havoc.)
Ryi: Hold it right there, you flea hotel!
Wolfang: Well, well, well. If it isn't the Power Rangers. Ready to be destroyed?
Matt: In your dreams. (To the Rangers) You guys ready?
Others: Ready!
All: Astro Force Activate!
(With the shout of the morphing call, the Rangers are transformed. They begin to fight Wolfang.)
Wolfang: Wow, you Rangers are stronger than I thought. I'm actually breaking a sweat.
Ryi: Last time, you had the advantage. This time, you're on our turf.
Wolfang: You're still no match for me!
(Just then, Jenna contacts them through their helmets.)
Jenna: Rangers, I have a new weapon for you. It's called the Astro Cannon. I'm sending your way.
Matt: Awesome! Astro Cannon, lock and load!
(Just then, they cannon falls into the Rangers' hands. They prepare to fire at Wolfang.)
Darren: Ready!
Ryi: Aim!
Matt: Fire!
(With a blast from the cannon, Wolfang is obliterated.)
Matt: Alright! We did it!
Aurora: Yes!
Scene 15
(The Rangers go to the youth center and sit at a table with smoothies.)
Matt: Listen, you guys. I want to thank you for coming to get me in the Dark Castle. It made me realize that just because I'm the Red Ranger, I can't take on an entire army.
Ryi: It's no big deal. You would have done the same thing for any of us. The only difference is I could've taken the entire army.
Matt: Oh, really, now?
Ryi: Heck yeah, Bro! You were getting your Astro Force kicked all over that arena!
(The Rangers share a laugh. Just then, Sonny comes out preparing for a toast.)
Sony: Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to propose a toast to the newest defenders of the city: The Power Rangers Astro Force!
All: To the Power Rangers!
