(This is the personal journal for Bryan Stone, leader, Cyberspace Task Force GammaRanger. Entry for March 27, 1998. Annie Stewart was on the scene as the GammaRanger defeated Lord Namrock's first onslaught of the Balzac drones. After filing a report for the local news channel, Annie vowed to find out who the GammaRanger are. Namrock used this revelation to deploy his first Beta Monster, Beta Blade. As he lands on Earth, Beta Blade uses his powers to make himself an evil duplicate of Annie. The Rangers found success in beating him, until Galevan fires a new device at Beta Blade, causing him to grow. It is only then do the Rangers find difficulty. After suffering a defeat of sorts, Koike transloads them to a disclosed area.)
NAMROCK: Look at this... LOOK AT THIS!!! Empty! All the Users are mine for the taking!
GALEVAN: So what next?
BETA BLADE: I shall claim all the Users in your name, Lord.
RHEXUS: Namrock, there is something I have to tell you.
NAMROCK: Later. Right now I want to survey my new territory. (Maniacal laughter)
(Meanwhile, the Rangers are being transloaded to a disclosed location. Where they are headed is a mystery to all, but wherever it is, the passengers have an unsuspected cargo. The Rangers all appear without their helmets.)
SCOTTIE: Where the hell are we?
BRYAN: (Trying to communicate) Koike, what happened?
KOIKE: Besides me sending you here, you mean?
(He draws blank stares.)
This is your new home. I call it the MD Station. This is where you will make your new plan of attack against Beta Blade.
AMY: Whoa... Talk about your future shock.
BRYAN: Well, it is from the twenty-first century.
KOIKE: That is correct, Stone. Totally designed from one of the programs you created.
BRYAN: The Megadriver program? That's where I recognize the codes from.
ERIC: You sure recognize a lot of codes, Bryan.
BRYAN: Well, when you write code for a few months... (overlooks the console again) Wait a second. There's one code missing. The main driving code.
A VOICE: Ouch... Where...?
BRYAN: Annie.... ANNIE?
ANNIE: I take it you're the Rangers? Impossible! You're just a bunch of kids.
BRYAN: Kids or not, we ARE the GammaRangers.
ANNIE: (in a panic) Well, kids or not, this is news and the public has a right to know. How do you get off this thing anyway.
ERIC: Umm.. about that. We're sorta stuck.
(Some beeping in the background.)
KOIKE: I'm getting a reading, Rangers. It turns out that after a while, Beta Monsters shrink to original size.
LAURA: Well, it's been about 30 minutes.
KOIKE: Precisely. Except for now they're as strong as they were when they were grown.
SCOTTIE: How are we supposed to defeat this guy anyway?
BRYAN: (Thinks) Koike, can we fly this thing?
(Meanwhile, on Earth, Beta Blade reacts to his newfound flaw.)
BETA BLADE: What's this?
GALEVAN: I see our little warrior was an Achilles' heel.
BETA BLADE: Well, How would you like to feel it!
NAMROCK: Galevan! Beta Blade! Silence the both of you!
RHEXUS: So how do we fix this problem?
NAMROCK: I have an idea. Another virus, but this time, put a failsafe on it. How about a merging program?
RHEXUS: Hmm... Merging program. Excellent if I do say so myself.
GALEVAN: Just what I need.. If one Beta Monster wasn't enough. Now I need one and a half.
CHOUZO: Well we can't create it here.
NAMROCK: Yes. Galevan, stay here and round up our Users.
GALEVAN: Yes, my liege. It would be an honor to do more than this ponch could.
BETA BLADE: You leave my ponch out of this!
NAMROCK: Forget him, let's go.
CHOUZO: I love it when a...
NAMROCK: Yeah, yeah...
(The group, except Galevan, escape through a digital wormhole, just as soon as the Rangers arrive in the MD Station.)
ERIC: I don't get it! They got away!
AMY: What's to get? We were too late!
BRYAN: But Galevan is still there. You two better go take care of him, and take Laura with you. Scottie, you come with me.
AMY: You can count on us, Bryan.
SCOTTIE: Wait a sec, Bry. Where are we going?
BRYAN: To Stone Laboratories.
SCOTTIE: Could I ask why?
(Amy, Eric, and Laura grab their helmets and race down the deployment chute. Their respective alter egos race after Galevan.)
GALEVAN: I can't believe that Namrock left me here to do his dirty work.
AQUAMERCURY: That should be the least of your worries.
GALEVAN: GammaRangers?!
GREENMARS: That would be us. Now that you're alone, we can really go at it.
GALEVAN: I don't think so. (Opens a DigiWindow Communicator™) Namrock, send the Balzac!
NAMROCK: Not this time, Galevan. (Turns the DWC™ into a warp, in which a group of Balzac and two BetaMons come out.) Behold, my new Beta Robo.
GALEVAN: Not another one.
NAMROCK: This one has an added option. You'll see.
GALEVAN: Yeah, right before the GammaRangers send him packing.
GREENMARS: Are you finished yet?
BETA ROBO: No, but you are!
(Meanwhile, at the Station...)
ANNIE: Wait one second... How were the Rangers able to get out?
KOIKE: I'm sorry, Miss Stewart, but as long as you know the GammaRangers' secret, you cannot be permitted to leave the Station.
ANNIE: (sarcastically) Well, that just makes perfect sense, doesn't it...
(Back at the battle scene...)
YELLOWVENUS: C'mon, we can take these guys!
GREENMARS: Now you're talking, let's get 'em! Ranger Daggers up!
(YellowVenus takes the Balzac with impeccable timing and skill. AquaMercury tries her hand at the BetaMons. GreenMars, insane as he is, goes after Galevan's mighty sword with his Ranger Dagger. Unfortunately, all three are knocked three ways from Sunday.)
YELLOWVENUS: What just happened?
GREENMARS: We just got hit... Hard.
AQUAMERCURY: Where are Bryan and Scottie anyway?
(Behold... The answer to Laura's question, also known as Stone Laboratories, on the edge of town. Bryan and Scottie sneak into Dr. Scott's office. They locate the drawer where the FileCoins were once located.)
SCOTTIE: What are we doing here?
BRYAN: Looking for the secret code to activate Megadriver. Hmm... There's gotta be a clue around here somewhere.
SCOTTIE: Megadriver? What the...
BRYAN: A fierce robotic warrior formed by the vehicles of the Station.
SCOTTIE: Sort of like GalaxyM.. (Bryan shuts his mouth)
BRYAN: Exactly.
SCOTTIE: So where do we start? This drawer... Where we got the FileCoins.
BRYAN: I see some letters... M... E... G... A. How obvious.
SCOTTIE: The disk in here looks like it fits the hard drive of the main console.
BRYAN: Well, no time to see the directories. Not only is Beta Robo causing a panic among the people downtown, but your dad is about to get out of lunch.
SCOTTIE: But how..?
BRYAN: Well, I am from the future.
SCOTTIE: OK... I'll be at the Station now... You coming?
BRYAN: Right... Let's lock and upload.
(They activate their CyberLoaders.)
Ranger File, Download!
(Bryan and Scottie transmutate into RedJupiter and BlueNeptune, and are transloaded to the Station, where Koike and Annie are waiting.)
KOIKE: Do you have the code?
REDJUPITER: Got it, chief.
(They insert the disk and type MEGA into the computer. The files begin to upload onto the screen.)
KOIKE: While the files are being copied, you better go help out your friends.
REDJUPITER: My thoughts exactly. Let's go, Scottie.
BLUENEPTUNE: On it!
(The two race to the deployment chutes. Down on the ground, the Rangers are having their heads handed to them, until...)
REDJUPITER: (blasts the group of BetaMons.) Now do you like those?
GREENMARS: Where were you guys?
BLUENEPTUNE: You'll see. Right now, we've got to take care of these two BetaMons.
YELLOWVENUS: I'm with you on that.
REDJUPITER: BlastDaggers! Level 3!
GAMMARANGERS: Fire!
(Beta Robo and Beta Blade are both hit by the Rangers' blasts. Namrock is not pleased.)
NAMROCK: This does NOT PLEASE ME! Galevan, produce the merge, an then order the Beta Blaster.
GALEVAN: (On ground) You heard Lord Namrock, merge and Beta Blast at once!!
BETA ROBO and BETA BLADE: YES!
(The two merge to become Beta RoBlade. Then Rhexus comes in and Beta Blasts the newly-formed Betavirus.)
BETA ROBLADE: Now let's see you try and stop my wrath, GammaUsers!
(On the ground)
REDJUPITER: Get to the Station before he does!
(The five transload on board the Station.)
Koike, did you upload the files?
KOIKE: Yes, Bryan. The Megadriver program is set. Take your places, Rangers.
(RedJupiter goes to the center to his pilot's deck. The other Rangers follow suit to their decks.)
BLUENEPTUNE: NeptuneDeck online.
GREENMARS: MarsDeck online.
YELLOWVENUS: VenusDeck online.
AQUAMERCURY: MercuryDeck online.
REDJUPITER: All decks online. Unzip Megadriver sequence!
ANNIE: This isn't happening... This isn't happening... THIS ISN'T HAPPENING!!!
(The two sides of MD Station deploy to reveal two tank-like machines. Then from those machines two jets rise and transform into arms... )
YELLOWVENUS: How's the machinery, Laura?
AQUAMERCURY: Looking good from here, Amy!
(The two tanks fold up to form legs... )
GREENMARS: Excellent! Just like a car!
BLUENEPTUNE: Yeah, only bigger...
(And the MD Base transforms into a torso.)
REDJUPITER: Now link up!
ANNIE: This isn't happening, this isn't happening, this isn't happening....
(Koike watches with RedJupiter as the pieces finally come together. Megadriver is formed and online.)
GAMMARANGERS: Megadriver! Ready!
ANNIE: This ISN'T HAPPENING!!!
BLUENEPTUNE: Just relax and leave the flying to us.
ANNIE: That's what I'm afraid of!!!
KOIKE: You are forgetting, Miss Stewart. These are the GammaRangers. The best of the best of the best.
(Megadriver begins combat with Beta RoBlade. Unfortunately, Beta RoBlade gets in the first hit. And it's pretty bad.)
REDJUPITER: Regroup!
(Megadriver seems to be gaining some composure. The robotic warrior is ready to begin its conquest.)
Unzip AntiSaber!
(The AntiSaber, a powerful antivirus forged into a sword much like Beta Blade's arms, slices through the midsection of Beta Roblade, utterly decimating him.) GAMMARANGERS: (cheers)
REDJUPITER: I have a feeling that Megadriver will come in handy a lot.
(The MD Station reverts to ship mode.)
You think you can get this mech back to the compound.
KOIKE: I can try, Bryan. You better get back to the ground... And take Miss Stewart with you.
(Rangers, sans helmets.)
LAURA: What about Annie? Will she...
KOIKE: No, it's automatic. She won't remember a thing.
ANNIE: Yeah, right...
(Later, at around 10:00 on Channel Nine.)
...and so the GammaRangers have once again saved the day.
(Cut into the Rangers watching on Scottie's TV with amusement.) Not only that, but the mysterious team of warriors have volunteered for the cleanup efforts.
(Cut into the Satellite Namrock.)
Who are the GammaRangers? The world wants to know. This is Annie Stewart for...
NAMROCK: So I don't have my User slaves anymore. They think that this is over. Little do the Users know that this... this is only the beginning...
Only the beginning.... (maniacal laughter).
