"Ready to become roadkill, then?" said Key, preparing himself to attack. "No, Key.." replied the armored overlord. "I'll deal with him.." Blackorg and Radiege square off, with Blackorg using his Metalstaff, and Radiege wielding his sword. The count charges at the overlord, and Blackorg disappears.
"Radiege!" Maria was about to assist him, but Grey holds her back. Vixen holds Ug back, about to defend Blackorg. "That's our lord's fight! He can handle him!"
Blackorg clobbers Radiege in the face with his staff. The horn-faced alien retailiates with an energy beam. He attempts to slice him in two, yet Blackorg teleports at the last moment. Then, the MAYHEM member throws a punch at Radiege, knocking him to the other three. He gets up slowly.
"So you're the ones responsible for sending that other fighting team against us!" Radiege snarled. "Well, we'll destroy them as I shall destroy you!"
"Hold, Count! Another fighting team, you say?"
"That means the Scanrangers are here, too!" said Key.
"Ah, then you're not responsible for those strangers, then..The ones we swore to destroy..Jetman, are our mortal enemies.. Since they escaped, why are we fighting each other, Lord Blackorg?"
"True..true..We can arrange then to smash both teams in this time period..What say we arrange a temporary truce? The four of you can work out your 'feud' later..."
"Ohhh, yes!" said an enthusiastic Vixen. "Destroy the Scanrangers, and the world is ours!"
"Destroy the Jetmen, and the world is ours!" laughed Tran.
"Fair deal, then..but we shall be the ones to claim this mudball first.." said Key, walking slyly over to Maria, putting his arm over her shoulder "After that, babe, perhaps we can share an entire continent to rule..alone.." Maria then applies a judo throw over her shoulder. Key lands on his back with a hard thud.
"Well agree to this..for now..." she said. "And for the record, idiot, I'm nobody's 'babe'! Grey walks with Maria, and walks over Key's hand.
Key, ignoring the pain, said to himself, "Now that's my kind of woman!"
Meanwhile,(get used to this, because there's more of these interludes to come)back at the Jetmen's home base Skycamp, the two heroic teams are all in the infirmary, the Scanrangers on one side, the Jetmen on the other. Vin was the first to wake up, in a seeming dazed state.
"Wh-What? Where are we?"
B.C. wakes up, as well as the other eight team members. "Japanese music! I must be dead! I hear an angel singing!" At once, both advisors, Commander Odagiri and Professor Alex both walk into the room.
"Welcome back to the land of the living, everyone.." 'Chokan' said in her native language. The foreign Scanrangers, Vin, Toni, and Nick was trying to understand what she said. B.C then interprets the words in English for the three.
"Chokan,what's going on?" said Ryu, speaking for the birdman team.
"You were under a spell by some strange gas..After that explosion, it knocked all of you out and also brought you back to normal. In the process, you mistakeningly attacked these foreigners who were trying to help you.."
"Oh! Another female commander?" said Kaori.
"Another female?" replied Gai. Cool!" Before he was about to approach Alex, she defended herself, twisting his arm. "Don't even think about it!" she replied in Japanese.
"On behalf of the Jetmen team, I apologize for what had happened, the crew didn't realize that there were others around the world fighting to protect the Earth from evil.." said Chokan Odagiri.
"Well then, commander," said Alex. "It's only appropiate that we resolve our differences since we're here to fight for the same cause.."
"I agree with you, Hakase Alex.. Jetman..I would like to formally introduce you to my old colleague's battle team..Eiga Sentai Scanranger.."
The Scanrangers and the Jetmen proceed to formally greet each other. Vin and Ryu, and Nick and Gai shake hands, while Toni and Kaori, and Kunio and Raita bow in Japanese fashion. Meanwhile, B.C. and Ako bow also, but are somewhat hesitant to say anything.
"Ryu Tendo..It is truly an honor to meet you..B.C. has told me about your legendary skills from the future.." said Vin humbly.
"Arigato.."
"So, Gai..how does it feel to be a ladies man..a 'player'?" asked Nick.
"Player? Sports?" Gai wasn't aware of the American slang term for ladies man, a.k.a. a playboy.
While the others got better acquainted, B.C. and Ako somewhat stare, waiting to see who will spaek first. The man named Bluescanner, like Kunio, were already familiar with the Jetman team, watching them on TV years ago. He was actually one of his favorites, yet he kept it to himself.
"So, Ako-san.." B.C. breaks the ice. "How do you like being a Jetman?"
"I think it's cool..although I admit that at first in order to do so, I wanted to get paid for it.."
"Oh, really? Nick, my other teammate wanted the same thing, yet he was the hardest to bring on our team..You've gotta be careful, because on occasion, he reacts without thinking.." As soon as B.C. said that, Nick slaps him on the back of his head. "What?!" he responded.
He pauses for a few moment, thinking how attractive Blue Swallow was. At the same time, Ako thought the same about B.C.
"Gee, she's cute.." thought B.C.
"Gee, he's cute.." thought Ako.
"Enough!" B.C. decides not to hold back, lest his emotions totally overwhelm him. "Let me just cut to the chase here..Ako-san..Are you seeing anyone now?"
"Uhhh..No.."
B.C. then leans his head on her shoulder. "Well then, why don't you and I go steady?" Ako pushes B.C's head back the opposite way, as it hits the bed.
"Baka! Idiot! Get off me! What do you think you're doing?" She then walks away. Kunio walks over to B.C.
"So..how did it go, Lover boy?" asked Kunio.
"Heh! No sweat! She's just playing hard to get..." From a distance, she frowns at B.C., yet as Ako turned away, she slowly grins.
From a distance, Aileen finally makes her appearance, tracking the remains of the Lighkari amulet piece. A bright, blinding light describes her entrance. The Jetmen and the Scanrangers team rush outside to check out the commotion.
"Greetings, sentai teams of the present, and of the future!" Aileen announces. "My name is Aileen..I've come from the future, and I've chosen you ten for the sole purpose of saving your world, and the universe.."
"What's going on, asked Kaori in Nihongo. "If you're asking me who's that or what's happening, girlfriend..I have no clue.." replied Toni.
"She looks like a young Irene Cara..and very pretty to boot.." said Vin. Aileen smiles, yet Vin was unaware of the flattering statement he made about the magical woman. Ryu replies, "Aireen Kara?" Idol?"
"He said was she an idol singer back in America's future," said B.C. He hesitates and realizes that Vin was speaking to his red counterpart in Japanese..or was he hearing things?
"I-I can understand her..." Ryu said. "So can I..I can hear you speak English loud and clear..But how?
"A trifling spell, Tendo Ryu..Vin Harlock..I've weaved a spell so that you can hear each other in your native language.. Red Hawk can interpret Redscanner's English, and Redscanner can understand Red Hawk in Japanese.
"Wow.." said Raita.
"The pendant is close by the city area where Yuki Gai had sold it to a club owner.."
"What pendant?" asked Chokan.
Aileen shows the teams a viewscreen of the Amulet of Lighkari. "The Amulet of Lighkari is a priceless jewel 75 years in the future..During the space wars, it was stolen by the Ranchaos empire. It was told to possess unlimited, absolute power to control the universe. Yet, during the struggle, the jewel was torn in half, and it is useless unless both pieces are found and reconnected again. Once together, the rightful owner would bring peace throughout the galaxy, and in the process, will also balance the time-space continum.. It also has the power to bring others into new dimensions.."
"So that was it!" said Alex. "That's what brought us all here to this time period! Now, the question remains, how do my team and I get back to our right time?"
"It would be very difficult to say, Professor Alex...The other piece still resides back in your time, and the jewel activates itself almost every hour for a few seconds...but we must retrieve the other half in order to get you and your team back..My magic is limited, and we have only twenty-eight hours to return you back to the future.."
"And if we fail?" said Toni.
"Not only you'll be stuck in the past forever, but the space-time continum will collapse and the universe will cease to exist..
"In layman's term's," said B.C. "It's the end of the world as we know it.."
"I have my Timerunner not far from here, and it's useless unless I could get it fixed.."
"My facilities should have the tools you may need.." said Chokan. "I can assist on the technology and match up the necessary parts..
"Nick can give you a hand, Chokan.." said Alex in Japanese." He's the computer brain of the group, and he's willing to help in any way.." "Thank you, Hakase Alex.." Chokan replies.
"Wait a minute! Profess!" said Kunio surprisingly. "You mean all this time you could speak Japanese?!
"Life is full of surprises..." Alex responds in Nihongo.
"You never told us that!"
"You never asked..."
The two teams go out together in pairs to get better acquainted, save Nick, as he helps Alex and Chokan to fix Aileen's machine. Vin hangs out with Ryu at a nearby park, using this as an opportunity to perhaps trade battle secrets. Yet, the only thing Red Hawk had on his mind was..
"Rie..."
"Rie? Who's she? Your girlfriend, I take it?"
Ryu sighs, "Yes..I usually don't share about that fateful day on the Earthship, but I trust you..I was one of the original members of a selected team of Skyforce members, including my girl, Rie Aoi, and we were to be subjected to an experiment code-named the 'J Project.'"
Vin is fascinated by all this as he listens. "The J Project had us subjected to something called 'Birdnic Waves'..It was an excruciating experience taking in all that energy. As soon as the next member was to be energized, a group called the Dimensional Fleet Viram attacked the base! This guy, whom you've probably met already, Count Radiege, claimed the Earth for his own. The aliens destroyed the Earthship, not before I..I..
"Are you okay, Ryu?" Vin tried to console him. "I'm sorry, Vin-san..not before Rie was sucked out into space after the decompression from the explosion. Chokan and I was the only ones who survived the attack..The remaining Birdnic waves, however, were spread throughout Japan..hitting four civilians, as you know them now. A hotshot bike rider, that's Gai..a country farmer, that would be Raita..A rich girl, that would be Kaori, and finally, a high school student, Ako..The rest, as you Americans say, is history.."
"I'm sorry about your girl, buddy..Anything I can do?"
"No, Vin, but thank you anyway..It's my responsibilty to make sure that the team stays focused..there was even another incident where Ako was almost lost to us forever..." Vin ponders on when that had happened, Perhaps, Vin thought, he could ask Kunio or B.C. about the fates of the Jetmen, and possibly Ryu's lover. "And to make matters worse, the warrior woman you also saw, Maria, almost eerily looked like Rie.."
"Wow! That's some story, man!" said Vin. "But you have to remember that in any type of war, you have to make quick decisons..Believe me, leading the Scanrangers isn't a walk in the park, either! Not trying to be cold, buddy, but being emotional in the midst of battle in one moment mean your doom! As far as women go, Ryu, that's my weakness! There was a time Kunio and I was hypnotized by Commander Vixen, and I came close to being the father of her children!"(Editor's note: The story in detail happened in Scanranger Episode#3-v.j.)" But Nick was able to snapme into consciousness..There was also the time where our arch enemy named Blackorg fought the team..Short and sweet, he beat us hands down..It was demoralizing, and I didn't lead the way I was supposed to. Thus, Professor Alex snapped me out of it and got the team back together again. Believe me, I've made my equal share of blunders as leader, too.. Just suck it up, learn from your mistakes and move on.."(Scanranger episode#4)
"Thank you, Vin..."
Meanwhile, the rest of the team sans Nick get the opportunity to talk themselves..
"I know that this is going to be a pain, Ako-san," said B.C. "..But I couldn't help resist about that experience you had with that ramen monster..." Raita cringes as he recalls being the victim of the Noodle-Jigen's corrupted ramen. Kunio, remembering that episode, starts to sing the 'Yoki no Ako-chan' song.
"What's with Raita?" asked Toni.
"What happened was that when someone ate the cup of noodles, it alters the mind and makes everyone goes crazy..Poor Raita went into such a rage wanting to fight the Viram, he had to be chained to his seat.."
"What about the Scanrangers?" asked Kaori. "Who did you have to fight?"
"The villain group MAYHEM has CyberCreatures..They're part machine and part animal, sometimes part human..."
"What about you, B.C.?" asked Ako. "I'm sure you Americans have some crazy monsters to battle. Which one was the weirdest?"
"KuroGangsta.."
"Like the classic criminals with the machine guns, like Al Capone?" said Gai.
"Not quite.." said Toni. "In our time, the music business has a style of music called 'hip-hop'..A branch of hip-hop was called 'gangsta rap'..and it was a genre of music that were mostly violent, used foul language, and degraded women.. If you run into any music like that, or if you ever go to the States, I suggest you stay away from it, if you know what's good for you.."
"Anyway.." said B.C. "this monster attacked the town, and framed one of my classmates for a crime he didn't commit..He was loaded with a machine gun that sprayed a high pressured graffiti paint...He was talking in rhyme as he wreaked havoc in the city, until the Scanranger crew stopped him.." The three Scanrangers continue to tell the three Jetmen about that particular battle.
Back up in Birock, the two villain teams begin their next move. Out of General Ug's scabbard, comes out Byte, the annoying spider-robot with an even annoying squeaky voice. He listens on to his master, Blackorg.
"It seems that not only we have a chance to eliminate the Scanrangers, but it is an opportunity for us to change our destiny..By taking over this planet in the past, to conquer this Terran sector called Japan, the rest of the world shall follow, after which it shall be crushed beneath our feet!"
"Yes, my lord.." said Vixen. "..but we do have an obstacle in our way...'
"The Scanrangers?" asked a dim-witted Ug.
"No, you dolt!" said the overlord. "..the other group who resides on this ship: Viram! Once we destroy both teams, those four fools shall be eliminated..It shall be we, not Viram, who shall be masters of this Earth! Key! Can you locate any metal in the immediate area to create a cybercreature?"
"Well, my lord, since we don't have access to our Nebultopian technology, I'll try, but we may not have too much time.."
"Make time!"
"Tiiiiime is on my side! Yes it iss!" sang Byte.
"We'll create a way to destroy the Jetmen and those so-called Scanrangers...especially you who are called Redscanner! When next we meet, I'll crush you under my feet!" said Radiege to the other three members.
"So who shall get the honors of drawing the teams out of hiding?" asked Tran. At the same time, he, the count, Maria, and Grey set their sights on the same object down on Earth. They see a construction site, and prepare to toss their dimensional parasites down to the object, which was a bulldozer. All at the same time the four parasites land on the machine.
"The construction worker was being shaken up. "W-What the heck's going on here? The machine morphs, and in the process, crushes the helpless driver. The creature takes form, standing on two feet, with one normal hand, the other was a double-shoveled hand. Hence, the Viram was pleased at their new blood-curdling monster-Dozer-Jigen!
"And to get things started.." continued Radiege. "I shall send a few Grinamu foot soldiers down to Earth to start an all-out riot..Heh heh heh.."
"Anark Key!" shouted Blackorg. "Our competition has just sent out a monster to attack!" "Not a problem, my lord..." replied Key. "I've got what you need! Now with a little bit of stolen energy, I can use an animal that's swift, sleek, and can wreak a little bit of havoc.." Touching the metal bars, the energy flows within, then Blackorg teleports the metal, and creates a partial robot and half jaguar.
"KuroJaguar! These are your orders! Attack and retrieve!" Key holds up a picture of the Scanrangers. The cybercreature captures the scent, and roars on to the surface with lighting speed.
Back at Skycamp..
"How's things going?" asked Vin. Alex, Chokan, and Nick continue their work on Aileen's Timerunner.
"Well, the professor and Commander Odagiri is double checking the parts that we need..The only problem we have, of course, is time..I see through the point where Aileen had teleported here that there's a chip that was burned to a crisp..One small calculator chip is all it requires..." said Nick. "By the way, where's B.C.?"
"Would you believe that he's on a date?" replied Toni.
"A date? At a time that we're trying to get back to our year, the dude's fooling around and goes to paint the town red? That's funny! Is it with that little Jetgirl?"
"Yes..Ako and your friend's hanging out together.." said Raita. "Whose idea was it anyway to suggest this to them?"
"Vin.." said Alex. "Are you responsible?"
"I have nothing to do with this! I'm serious! How was I to know that laughing boy had a seeming crush on Blue Swallow? I'ts not like they're eloping or something like that.. Besides, it was the Jetman's commander's idea!"
Kunio looked puzzled for a second. "Wait a minute..We're talking about Chokan here..The same Chokan that is no-nonsense, take no prisoners, butt-kicking woman who rules the task force with a deep respect..The same Chokan who can take out Ryu and Gai outright in hand to hand combat if needed be..According to me, this is not the same woman that our legend knew about.."
"D0 YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY SUGGESTION, YOUNG MAN?" Chokan replies to Kunio sternly, as only she could. He meekly backs off and replies, "Ahhh..No, Ma'am..not at all..."
"Cool, we can then-.." Suddenly, the emergency siren goes off as the Jetmen and the Scanrangers run to the consoles. They witness the Grinamus smashing cars and terrorizing the citizens of Tokyo.
"What's going on?" asked Vin. "Trouble downtown.." replied Gai. "It seems the Viram has sent out more of their cannon fodder to attack...
"Mina! Everyone! Don't just stand there and watch! Go!" shouted Chokan.
"Right!" said the Jetman crew.
"Perhaps we can be of assistance, Chokan.." asked Kunio. "The Jetmen will probably need some backup..I've heard these foot soldiers are no problem, so, Scanrangers, get going!"
"Right!" said the Scanranger team. "Wait, Nick! You still have to stay behind.." said Alex.
"What!?"
"Sorry, Nick, but your commander's correct.." said Aileen. "I know you want to help your teammates, but we've only have sixteen hours to go, lest you'll be trapped here..It shouldn't take long to fix this microchip.."
"Arrggh! I don't believe this! They need my strength out there! Those creatures don't look like pushovers!"
"Sorry, Nick-san.." said Chokan. "This takes top priority..remember the fate of our universe is in our hands here..It all depends on us now.."
Nick shrugs for a second and finally agrees. "Shoot! All right! Let's get going!"
Meanwhile, B.C. and Ako hang out in a downtown Tokyo mall. B.C. himself ponders the question, like Kunio. "The same no-nonsense Chokan suggested this? I find it hard to believe!"
"It's true.." said Ako. "She's a woman who's tough as nails like your Professor, but deep down she really cares for the team..
"I'm hoping that one day we can spend more time together..but the reality is that it's impossible...Besides you've never told me what are your abilities as a Scanranger...
"In a nutshell, my power is my on my love for comedy movies..We Scanrangers were all chosen for our desire of specific movie genres, action/adventure movies, sci-fi, drama, and so on.. I'm also a theatre major, with a minor in English. I'm hoping that I could get the opportunity to write good, clean comedy acts for movies..In society today, a lot of people get laughs at obscene, dirty jokes. I have very little tolerance for that...My goal is to bring that all back, watching the classic movies, like Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello..."
"The Wacky Races?"
"Wacky Races?! What do know about Dastardly and Muttley? What do you know about that smart aleck pooch who occasionaly bites DD on the hand?" B.C. does an impression of Muttley's famous snicker. Suddenly, both of the blue team members get a call on their communicators.
"What's up, Vin man?" said B.C.
B.C.! Ako! We've got trouble downtown! Those Grinamu creatures are causing a riot!"
"Sorry to break your date, but we need you guys!" said Ryu.
"Right! I'll show you how we get from point A to point B!" B.C. shows Ako the button on his FilmBrace: the FF button which teleports to the ranger's destination at rapid speed. "How does it work?" she asked.
"Hold my hand..." Ako does so as B.C. presses the button, about to meet with the rest of the team.."And awwayy we go!" he said.
The two met with the other Jetmen and the three Scanrangers. The Grinamus attack the townspeople, some strangling the citizens, some beating them to death. "Cute faces for cannon fodder who's about to get their rear end put in a sling.." said Toni.
"Don't underestimate them, Toni.." said Raita. "They're tougher than you think..." "These no-face rejects from a spider convention? I don't think-" Vin almost gets hit by one of the Grinamu's wrist machine guns.
"So much for negoiations.." he said. "Let's rip into them, rangers!" Vin leads the Scanranger crew. "Issou! Let's go!" said Ryu, leading the Jetmen. The local Japanese sentai hold them own during the battle, while the rangers seemed to have a slightly difficult time defeating them.
Meanwhile, the club owner who bought Gai's jewel was at the jewelry exchange about to cash in the amulet piece. "I could probably get at least 200,000 yen easy, if not more on this thing.." he said. Suddenly, a flash of lighting came before the owner, and he sees the four Viram villains. The man falls down, as the sinister count approaches him with a very, wicked grin.
"These ugly so-and-sos put Blackorg's 'Kinks' to shame.." said Kunio. "It's obvious that we've got to use our full strength against them..." Another blast separates the Scanrangers from the Jetmen. The Grinamus continue to attack, strafing through both teams. Suddenly, out of the smoke, comes Dozer-Jigen and KuroJaguar!
"Uhhh, this would mean one thing, guys, and I've should have known this.." said Kunio. "In super sentai shows, it's customary for the minions to attack the team first, and then the monster appears! How the heck could I forget that?!"
"No time to talk about the issue, Mikey! We've got more of those soldiers where that came from!" said Vin, grabbing a Grinamu's arm, and pushing his body down to the ground, using his aikido skills. He proceeds to break the minion's arm. The rangers continue to fight off the creatures, hoping to help their friends, who are now in danger.
Meanwhile, the Jetmen had to deal with not one, but two monsters.."It seems that the Viram is desperate to eliminate us, huh?" said Gai. "All right, then! Come on!" Gai leaps and attempts to throw a punch at Dozer-Jigen, but he gets his hand caught in his steel hand. Gai gets smacked back over by the rest of the team. The Viram monster then uses its searchlight, emitting a laser beam, separating the team. As the Jetmen tried to recover from the attack, KuroJaguar uses its super speed to slash Ryu and Raita in the back with its shiny claws. Then the cybercreature releases the spots from its body, acting as small land mines once it hits the ground, sending Gai, Ako, and Kaori flying. They land on the ground. Once the birdmen recover, they look up, and see the four MAYHEM villains standing in front of them!
"Wha-Who are you?" asked Ryu.
"We are MAYHEM! We are your death! I, Lord Blackorg, have chosen this day to prepare you..You are the team called Jetman..but it looks like you're not as strong as I thought..I'ts just a matter of time before my cybercreature shall defeat you!"
"This is our Earth!" said Gai. "..and you have to take it from us over our dead bodies!"
"Very well, then.."said Vixen. "We can arrange that!" Swiftly, the warrior woman unsheathes her sword, unleashes her 'BEAUTI-BOLT!' at the Jetmen, hitting the five.
The Scanrangers continue to fight through the no-face minions. "Hang on, Ryu! We're coming!" shouted Vin. "Geez.." said Kunio. "We could use some extra strength! Come on, Nick! Hurry up! We need you! Things just can't get any worse!" Kunio throws over a Grinamu and punches it out. Vin grabs another cannon fodder's arm and twists it, breaking it, and tosses it to Kunio's fallen Grinamu. No sooner as the Scanranger leader does so, he was hit from behind by an energy beam, courtesy of Radiege, spoiling for a rematch! Tran, Grey, and Maria follow right behind him through the dimensional space, confronting the downed Scanrangers.
"Uhhh, guys, things have just gotten worse!"
Back at Skycamp, Nick, Alex, and Chokan continue to work on Aileen's Timerunner. Chokan programs the software which would make the time machine compatible to it. "I think we-AAAGH!" Nick nearly gets himself shocked by the now burned computer chip.
"Blast it! We were almost finished! We've got to start all over again!"
Chokan and Alex looked at the viewscreen and witnesses the two sentai teams being defeated by the villain's ambush. They could send out Nick to help, yet he was the only one who could figure out the codes. To let him leave would mean a definite delay in getting the movie task force back to their own time. Indeed, there was only five hours left before the vortex would close forever!"Maybe not.." said Aileen. I can, with a little spell, fix the chip, and replace it..."
"Well, whatever you got, lady, give it to us now! We're both mounting possible losses on each side now!" said Nick.
Aileen remembered the chant that held the software in place. With a sleight of hand, she held the loose chips in place. Nick notices a CD-Rom aside him. "Just a second..Commander Odagiri..Did you say that a calculator sized computer chip was all that this machine needed?"
"Yes.."
"That's all I wanted to know! Profess! Do me a favor and break open that calculator!" Alex does so. "Bring it over, please? Now, if that's the only thing that's been holding up our delay, I'll never forgive myself..." Nick installs the chip as it sparks a little, then.
"Try it now, Commander!
Chokan types in the codes, with the Timerunner program. It runs through the system monitor successfully. The monitor gives an 'OK' approval! "ALL RIGHT! The Timerunner's on line!"
"With not a moment to lose!" replied Alex as Nick staggers after the intense work done on the time machine.
"This is no time to rest up, man!" said Chokan. "Look! Your friends are in danger!" Nick looks at the screen and witnesses the Jetmen and the Scanrangers almost totally defeated by the villain onslaught.
"NO! THIS CAN'T HAPPEN TO US! WHERE'S THOSE FREAKIN' ALIENS? LET ME AT 'EM!!!" Nick's adrenaline increases a thousandfold seeing the computer viewscreen. "I thought your friend was drained, Alex-san.." said Chokan. "When Nick's friends are in distress, he could be wounded and still take out a couple of cybercreatures..." Alex replied.
"Go, Nick! Use the Timerunner now!" said Aileen. "Set it a few minutes to give you time to help your friends!"
"You don't have to tell me twice, ladies! I'm outta here!!" Swiftly, Nick runs on the machine treadmill and teleports out of sight.
Back at the battle, on one side, the Birdman task force were wounded and nearly defeated. Ryu gets up slowly and tries to cover the other four Jetmen. Aside Ryu and his team were the Scanrangers barely able to stand themselves.
Kunio was defiant speaking to the Viram. "You may have us outnumbered, but to our last breath, we shall fight!!"
"So be it, then..Scanrangers..Jetmen..The time has come to die!!" Radiege roars in fury to finish off the Scanrangers. But even before he reaches them, out of the portal comes Nick, with a spectacular double kick in the chest, pushing him back to the villain's side. "What?" Blackorg and the MAYHEM captains were astounded by the Greenscanner's arival.
"What is this effrontery?" he shouted.
"It's called 'Tackle in the Nick of Time, ugly!" You're not killing anyone today, not now, not ever! It's time that you ugly muggers got off our planet! NOW!" Nick said.
He runs to the two teams, and helps them up.."Are you all right, guys? I believe you're safe now.." "Nick! Man, you're a sight for sore eyes!" said Toni. He goes and gives Ryu a hand and gets the other Jetmen up.
"Well, get some shades, cause we're about to punch a few lights out!"
"Curse you all!" said Blackorg. "You may have gotten the entire team back, but your end result shall be the same! Your death's shall be but just a moment's work!" The Viram join the MAYHEM corps, and prepare for battle.
"Like Nick said, no-face," said Gai. "GET OFF OUR FREAKIN' PLANET!!" "My sentiments exactly, Gai..." said Ryu. "Vin! Are you ready?"
"Just say those magic words, baby!" he replied as the rangers prepare their transformation pose, as does the Jetmen.
The Birdmen shout with Ryu leading the way. "ISSOU! CROSS CHANGER!" The five transform at the speed of light into their Jetmen uniforms. The rangers shout as well, with Vin leading. "LET'S DO THIS! LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION! SCANRANGER!" They transform into their bodysuits as well. The two villain teams and the two monsters step back to defend themselves.
The Jetmen go into their traditional pose.."RED HAWK!"
"BLACK CONDOR!
"YELLOW OWL!"
"WHITE SWAN!"
"BLUE SWALLOW!"
"CHOJIN SENTAI-JETMAN!" they all shouted.
It was now the Scanranger's turn. "REDSCANNER! ATHLETE OF ACTION!"
"GREENSCANNER! SPFX SOLDIER!"
"BLUESCANNER! KING OF COMEDY!"
"YELLOWSCANNER! ANIMEMANIAC!"
"PINKSCANNER! MUSIC MISTRESS!"
"SOLDIERS OF THE SILVER SCREEN! MOVIE TASK FORCE-SCANRANGER!!" they all shout out.
