"I'm sorry, GreenScanner! I'm making every effort to stop..Can't help myself!" said Red. "Me too..RedScanner! But I must..must attack!" said Green.

"No! Guys!" cried Pink. "Fight it! Fight that cybercreature's control over you!!" But it was to no avail. GreenScanner attacked RedScanner with his FilmBlade, while SilverScanner took on Yellow and Blue with his SabreMagnum.

"PLEASE! STOP IT! STOP!!" yelled Pink.

"Resistance is useless! With my hate arrows, those Scanrangers shall pummel each other until they're dead! Ha ha ha ha ha!" KuroCupid turns to the pink Scanranger. "And now for you..Heh heh heh heh heh.." The monster points his arrow at PinkScanner, about to shoot her, until..out of nowhere, a wired microphone pounds KuroCupid in the jaw before he shot the arrow. "OWWW!" he cried. "WHO DARES?!? SHOW YOURSELF!!"

From the top of the stage came a woman with a blue bodysuit and cape. PinkScanner was surprised and saw someone else coming to her rescue.

"HEY, EVIL MONSTER DEMON! YOU LEAVE PINKSCANNER ALONE!!" shouted the woman.

"Who are you?" asked KuroCupid.

The lady replied, "I am Danger Woman! Heroic Karaoke Sentai ally to those in need! On behalf of the zoo-going children of the world,I will right wrongs and punish evil monster demon robots! And that means you!!"

At the same time, unaware of the ongoing battle, Dean comes out of the men's room. He notices the other Scanrangers battling each other. "What's all the commotion? Hey! It's the Scanrangers! But why are they battling each other?" Dean then sees the cybercreature about to attack Danger Woman while PinkScanner was down. "I may not know these guys, but I've got to help them somehow.."

"Ha! You challenge me? Take this, Capegirl!!" KuroCupid was about to shoot the hate arrow. As it fires, Pink attempted to shield DW. She does so, but out of nowhere, Dean jumped in Pink's way, taking the arrow meant for DW!

"Oh no!! DEAN!!" cried Pink.

"A brave heroic show, human, but a foolish one.." said KuroCupid. "Now you shall be the one to continue to cause all-consuming chaos! Spread the message to everyone in the city! But first,kill those interlopers!"

Vixen stands by and laughs. "Yes! Ohhh, yes! What a surprise! The same weak-minded human who's responsible for our creature creation! and now with his increased hormones at his peak, he shall destroy the Scanrangers with that extra energy!! Glorious!!" Dean fights off the effects of the hate arrow. He struggles and is on his knees for a few moments. Yet, somehow, he gets back on his feet, remembering the command KuroCupid gave him. "Yes..Kill..Kill!" He blasts off his energy, but not at Pinkscanner and DW, but right back at the cybercreature! Dean collapses again. KuroCupid was stunned and temporarily out. In the process, the Scanrangers ceased fighting each other.

"It stopped! I can use my arms freely again!" said SilverScanner. The others were whole and of their own free will.

"What? That's impossible! No one can't resist the effects of the hate arrow!!" cried Vixen.

"Except for a pure heart, villainess! You should know that any one with a strong will and an innocent heart can fight off any type of hate and bias!" said PinkScanner.

Vixen runs to the other end of the hall. The male Scanrangers go after her. KuroCupid rises again to take on PinkScanner and Danger Woman.

"Try and stop this, little girls!" shouted KuroCupid.

Danger Woman makes her move."Prepare to get another serious headache,demon monster robot!DANGER KARAOKE MICROPHONE!" DW sings her rendition of the 80's hit 'Axel F', from the 'Beverly Hills Cop' trilogy; which Pink joins DW in this routine...

The cybercreature, unable to focus or aim because of the music, gets disoriented. "We're going to do the Axel F..with a Rodeo Slide by Rodeo Drive!" DW and Pink let him have it with the music blast, in addition to a Whirlwind dance until the end of the song.

"AAGHH! MY MIND! CAN'T CONCENTRATE!" cried KuroCupid. "That blasted music is killing me!!"

Before the women continue the attack, Danger Woman stops for a moment. "Wait! I've picked up something from my Danger Sense! I heard Vixen's sinister plot! The doors are locked, and security has the guests trapped!"

"What's wrong?" asked Pink.

"That's it! That's what she meant by making a bloody valentine! That evil woman's about to murder everyone at the dance, like in the St. Valentine's Day Massacre!!

Listening on their communicators, the five rangers reply."Don't worry, Danger Woman! We're on it! Let's go, fellows!" said Red. The men race to the exits.

The 'security' was about to aim at the scared party goers. "The Scanrangers will not stop us this time!" said Vixen. "On my command, Ready, Aim.." Before Vixen gave the command to fire, a laser blast parried Andy's and Floyd's guns out of their hands, while a DVD disc takes out two other guards, a bo staff smashes two others square in the jaw, and a missile hits one more, exploding in the guard's face. Aside from Vixen's cyberguards, the other security men were revealed as Kinks posing as gangsters!" The rangers stopped the massacre in time!

"NOOO! BLAST YOU, SCANRANGERS! YOU'VE RUINED EVERYTHING!!" shouted Vixen. "NOW YOU'RE GOING TO PAY!" The warrior woman charges at the rangers, but was stopped by a stray shot in the arm coming out of nowhere.

"WHO DARES?"

"Trust me..You don't want to know..." said a voice. Vixen looks up, and sees a mysterious long-haired swordsman.

"Are you another ally of these accursed Scanrangers?!"

"Friends call me the Phantom Highlander.. the leader of Clan MacVal, and the sworn protector of DangerWoman, whom you are threatening..I understand that you fancy yourself a great swordfighter, not unlike a certain warrior princess I once knew through my travels in time. Now, let's see how good you really are.."

"You talk much to prove a point, stranger!" said Vixen. "And here's my answer!!" She shoots a blast from her sword. PH somersaults over and kicks her in the chest. With his special mind control powers, he retrieves his sword and duels with Vixen.

"I don't believe this!" said YellowScanner. It feels like we're stuck in the middle of a 'Sailor Moon' episode!"

Pink and DW run to join the others. "How about a 'Highlander' episode?" replied Pink. The duel came to a close as the Phantom Highlander delivers another kick to Vixen's chest, knocking her aside.

"I call on the power of the Phantom Saber!! Prepare for your quickening, you evil sorceress!!!" PH runs to finish off Vixen.

"Sorry, swashbuckler, but my schedule is full..Got to go.." Vixen and her cyberguards teleport to escape.

"Darn it! Vixen got away again!" said GreenScanner.

"It's all right, Scanranger.." said PH. "You'll defeat her as always.. Now go, my sweet Danger Woman! You and PinkScanner can defeat that monster!"

"Curse you, Scumrangers!" cried KuroCupid. "I shall spread my message yet! You're finished!!"

"Danger Woman! I need a favor from you.." said Pink.

"Anything..

"Do you have Celine Dion's 'My Heart Will Go On' in your music collection?"

"Yes..the club version..Why?"

"I need you to distract that monster. We can finish him together..The guys gave me the OK.."

"Great! Let's do it!" As Danger Woman sings the chorus to Celine Dion's greatest music hit, PinkScanner calls up her Music film energy. This time, in keeping with the song, she becomes one with the romantic movie epic, 'Titanic'. She summons a giant-sized tidal wave that surrounded KuroCupid, leaving him with nowhere to run.

"NOW!" PinkScanner shouted. "TITANIC ATTACK!" The wave pummels the cybercreature, drowning it, and sets him on its way to a giant iceberg! KuroCupid collides head first through the iceberg, outside of Cannell Hall and lands back on the ground, almost out. The new attack was similar to Sailor Neptune's deadly attack called 'Deep Submerge.'The other Scanrangers and DW head outside near the trees to confront the fallen monster.

"All right!" said Red. "It's the guy's turn to rock! CAMZOOKA!" The camcorder-shaped cannon targets the critically wounded cybercreature. "Set the focus! Fire!" The plasma blast all but disintergrates KuroCupid. With a loud cry, he falls to his knees and explodes!

"Excellent job, my Danger Woman! Fantastic finish as well, Scanrangers!" said the Phantom Highlander. "So long!"

As the rangers celebrate their triumph, Danger Woman looks away, seeing PH disappearing once again. SilverScanner said, "Who was that masked man?" "Ahhh, he's so dreamy.." she sighed.

Back up in Nebultopia, Vixen and her two cyberguards reported back to Blackorg. "I cannot explain what happened, my lord.." she said bowing to the sinister leader. "We had the Scanrangers firmly within our grasp! Had it not been for those two strange interlopers, the entire city would have been ours!"

"SILENCE, VIXEN! I did not permit you to make excuses! The point is that you failed me!!" shouted Blackorg. The warrior woman cringes as the dark master points his hand directly at her. He zaps a force blast at Andy and Floyd instead, electrifying them. They both cringe on their knees. "But for now, you are dismissed, until I find an appropiate punishment for you!!" He then disappears.

"CURSE YOU, SCANRANGERS! If I survive, you shall all pay dearly for this!!" said Vixen, clenching her fist.

Moments later, back at the dance, Takeshi tended to the fallen Dean. He slowly wakes up from unconsciousness. "W-What the heck happened?"

Toni and the others go to him.."Hey, Toni..You all right? What happened here? I had some weird dream where I rescued the Scanrangers, and for a moment, PinkScanner sounded just like you.. I really must be out of it.."

"That must've really been some dream.. Are you all right?"

Dean gets back on his feet, without a scratch from the arrow. "Yeah! So you still want something to drink?"

Danger Woman and the rest of the band play a rocking club version of 'The Gatchaman Song'(by special request) in the background. "Yeah, but I'm not thirsty..Let's get out with the guys and cut a rug!" said Toni. "And one more thing, Dean..Thank you..." She then lands a soft kiss on the cheek.

"What was that for?" questioned Dean.

"For being yourself.." she replied. "..and for also saving my life.." Toni said to herself. Meanwhile, the rest of the gang dance the night away with their dates. Vin, with his date, Angel, gave a secret thumbs up to Danger Woman and the band, thanking her for the assist during the battle. "Thanks, sentai songbird.." he said to himself. "I'm sure we'll hook up again pretty soon..You can count on that.."

To be continued...

And now, a Scanranger Valentine interlude...

Vin:That was some party..I didn't know you had the moves to get down like that, Dean..

Dean: I learned from the best..My most excellent classmate..Toni! I tell you, there's something about her that brings the best in someone..It was nice meeting the rest of you, and thanks!(Dean leaves, leaving the rest of the Scanrangers looking over a scattered pile of valentines.

Nick: (embarrassed) Uhh..My bad?!

(Kunio was in a tranced state) Vin: I think that's the best Valentine's Day card yet! What do you think, Mikey? (Kunio smiles, then falls faint)

ALL: Well, fellow sentai fans, Happy Valentine's Day! See you next episode!(The gang then do an impression of 'The Dating Game' and throws out a goodbye kiss to the audience)
