WARNING: Rated GR-14 for violence and mild language. It's nothing that you wouldn't see on a typical episode of The Pretender, but still people with heart problems should stay away from this episode.
(This is the personal journal of Bryan Stone, leader of Cyberspace Task Force GammaRanger, for June 21, 1998:
After three of the Rangers graduated, Scottie was called in to help me decode some readings that Laura and I found. We were then thrusted by the new Beta Element into a major battle. For the first time, the MegaDriver failed and was destroyed. Our powers were also lost in the battle. And if things couldn't get any worse, the Balzac appeared with a new soldier.)
Amy: What are we going to do now?
Scottie: We're going to do what we always do at a time like this. We fight.
Laura: Fight? Without our powers?
Bryan: Why not? We haven't been afraid of a few Balzac.
Jill: Yeah, but what about this new guy?
Bryan: I'll handle him. I've lead a full life.
(The Rangers proceed to fight the Balzac unmorphed. Bryan fights Hexalink alone. After a while, the Balzac retreat, but Hexalink remains.)
Hexalink: (afer beating the crap out of Bryan) Hey! Balzac! Get back here! Well, looks like I get to take care of you myself.
Bryan: Any plans, guys?
Eric: Just one. Run.
Amy: No kidding, Bryan. You look like hell.
Bryan: Wrong there. I look and FEEL like hell.
Beta Element: Prepare to feel worse once I'm done with you!
Bryan: No chance. We gotta get out of here.
Beta Element: Running when you have a chance to defeat me? Typical... You Users are so pathetic.
Eric: Don't think this is the end. We'll be back.
Hexalink: I'm sure of it. Puttiing off the inevitable.
Bryan: Yeah. The day we beat you. Let's go, guys.
Hexalink: Yes. Go. You will need the rest the next we meet.
(Suddenly, behind the two creatures, a DWC opens.)
Namrock: Hexalink, I'm surprised.
Hexalink: That was the beginning. I have more monsters and abilities that you wouldn't have dreamed of!
Beta Element: So that's what did it! Well now...
Namrock: Don't get too cocky; you're next battle will come yet.
Hexalink: You will never guess what's in store for the Users in our next battle.
(Galevan, ironically regenerated by the destruction of the SkyStation, rises from his rubble to confront the new enemy from behind.)
Galevan: I'm willing to take a stab at it.
(He draws his sword and thrusts it through Hexalink.)
Hexalink: AAAHHH! Who...
Galevan: Me. You remember me, don't you?
Hexalink: I'm guessing you must be Galevan.
Galevan: And I'm guessing that you must be crazy for leaving me for dead like that. Do you know what forces you are messing with?
Hexalink: I think I do. The defender of the Lord. The chief commander of the Namrock army. That would look perfect on my data form.
Galevan: Over my kill-file.
Hexalink: I think I'll take you up on that offer.
Galevan: Bring it on, little man.
Hexalink: You asked for it. (is stopped by Beta Element)
Beta Element: No! Let me! I'll take this guy on!
Galevan: What are you talking about? I'm taking you back to the Satellite with me!
Beta Element: Under whose order?
Galevan: Mine. (begins to charge his sword)
Beta Element: And if I don't?
(Galevan swipes his sword at Beta Element, who gets destroyed in the progress.)
Galevan: Now you know I mean business. Come with me.
Hexalink: Who's coming with who?
(Cut to the Satellite, where Namrock is thinking.)
Namrock: Hmm... Galevan has returned. And so I have twice the power. (Opens a DWC) You two! If you want to get on my good side, you will find the Rangers and destroy them once and for all. I'm sending a Beta Bee virus to help you.
Galevan: I do not need a monster to do your bidding, sire.
Hexalink: On the contrary, my lord. I shall make good use of him.
(Cut to Scottie's basement, where Scottie is hard at work fixing Bryan's Cyber Loader.)
Scottie: Looks like a flawed Pentium chip. I just happen to have a few I've been saving for a rainy day. Amy, can you get that small box over there?
Amy: Which one?
Scottie: The white one.
Amy: (Bringing the box over to Scottie) What's so special in the box anyway?
Scottie: This. (pulls out a Pentium chip) With this, I may be able to fix the error in the Cyber Loader. (implants the chip) Here Bryan, try it out.
Bryan: All right. Keep your fingers crossed.
(He carefully places the device on his wrists and turns it on.)
USER ID CONFIRMED... |
Bryan: At least we know it works. Now for the acid test.
Eric: Program uploaded. Now try and transform.
Bryan: Okay. RedJupiter file, download!
(The Cyber Loader begins to glow.)
Scottie: It's struggling. Needs to warm up.
Bryan: Come on...
(Suddenly, Bryan begins his metamorphosis.)
|
RedJupiter: GammaRanger, ready!
Jill: All right! It worked!
Laura: Now you can start working on ours, right?
Scottie: (a la 3 Stooges) Soitanly! (laughs)
RedJupiter: Good. You can stay here and fix the Cyber Loaders. Laura, stay here and upload these. (hands Laura a book of CDs)
Amy: Discs?
Scottie: Wait. These are all our powers!
Laura: Bryan... You've been holding out on us!
RedJupiter: Not exactly, but let this be a lesson. Always keep backup copies of all your files! (cyber Loader goes off)
Eric: Another Betamon?
RedJupiter: Yeah. I better get going.
Eric: We'll join up with you as soon as we can.
Laura: I just uploaded your Server Cycle to your Cyber Loader.
RedJupiter: Great. I'll need the speed. Let's see if it works. Server Cycle download!
(The Red Server Cycle originally was housed in the SkyStation, but now it is formed in the Cyber Loader and materialized outside.)
Jill: Good luck, Bryan!
(As RedJupiter heads downtown, he does not know that Namrocks are watching him via Satellite.)
Chouzo: RedJupiter got his powers back!
Rhexus: This is not good. What should we do, lord?
Namrock: Normally, I'd send a fleet of Balzac to wear him down, but I think that Hexalink's surge files embedded within Beta Bee can give him a real... sting.
(Downtown Tradewinds.)
Galevan: You really think you can just take over that easily?
Hexalink: Of course, I don't! I can get information from all sources, except you.
Galevan: Meaning?
Hexalink: Meaning you time has come.
Galevan: Not f***ing likely.
Hexalink: Have it your way. I challenge you!
Galevan: (after jumping up in the air and smacking him with a flying drop kick) Challenge accepted.
(The two viral warriors fight while Beta Bee sneaks off in the distance.)
Beta Bee: As much as I'd like to stay and watch, I have a Ranger to rid.
(He hovers off to another part of the city. RedJupiter finds him in front of the Union Office Building.)
RedJupiter: Where do you think you're flying off to?
Beta Bee: The lone Ranger? Hardly a challenge. Feel my sting! (shoots off a stinger)
RedJupiter: My arm! (wincing in pain while reaching for his pistol) But I've got a sting of my own!
Beta Bee: I'd like to see!
RedJupiter: Wait! I'm not finished yet! GammaSword, download! (Sword forms on his arm) Now this is a stinger!
(RedJupiter jumps into the air and shoots his RangerBlaster at him, successfully hitting him. Then as he comes down, he slashes the Betamon.)
Beta Bee: I will show you, pestilent freak!
RedJupiter: Cone on! Bring on the pain!
Beta Bee: Ask and you shall receive!
(The mutant blasts multiple stingers at his enemy. RedJupiter is left wincing for his life.)
RedJupiter: (thinking) Guys, where are you?
(Still in the basement, that's where.)
Scottie: There! That should do it!
Amy: Are you finished with it?
Scottie: Here it is, Miss Berry.
Amy: (frustrated) Will you stop doing that?
Scottie: No. (gives the others their Loaders, then turns toward Laura) How are the files coming?
Laura: I have some of them done. Weapons, Server Cycles, and G-Cells. Just got the MD Cannon sequence. And this disc. What is this disc for anyway?
Jill: Bryan told me about this disc. It's the file to the prototype of GridTitan.
Eric: GridTitan?
Jill: I'm not exactly sure what it is, but I think you better upload it too.
Laura: All right. But you four better get going.
Scottie: That's cool with me. Ready. Ranger files download!
(The four GammaRangers transform.) Laura: Server Cycles up. Good luck, guys.
GridRanger: But I don't have a Server Cycle.
Laura: I've got something in store for you later. For now, ride with Eric.
GreenMars: C'mon, Jill.
(The Rangers head toward Bryan's location. At Bryan's location, Beta Bee has him in a pin. And if things couldn't get any worse...)
Galevan: Are you finished yet?
Hexalink: You're persistent for a lower form of viral warrior.
Galevan: (kicks him in the shin) All I know is that I wasn't the one who was deleted, supposedly.
Hexalink: "Supposedly" is the magic word.
(Hexalink shoots beams out of his sword. Galevan, lying on the ground, notices Beta Bee about to finish RedJupiter.)
Galevan: Wait! A GammUser!
Hexalink: (looking behind him at Beta Bee and RedJupiter) I'll be damned. So that's a GammaRanger. Beta Bee! Draw back!
Beta Bee: Why? I'm just staring to have fun!
Hexalink: The commander position will go to whoever finishes off RedJupiter!
(Just then, BlueNeptune GammaClaws Hexalink out of the way.)
BlueNeptune: Not on my watch. Bryan, you okay, bro?
Hexalink: (lying on the ground) You son of a...
(YellowVenus bashes him with Venus Pulses.)
YellowVenus: Hey! There is a Southern lady present!
GreenMars: YOU'RE a lady?
YellowVenus: Quiet, you, and take care of Beta Bee!
GreenMars: All right! This way, GammaRangers!
(RedJupiter and GridRanger fight the feuding viral warriors, while the other three in the bunch work on Beta Bee. Cut to the Satellite.)
Chouzo: Oh, bo-oss... They're lo-sing...
Namrock: You think I don't know that?
Rhexus: (to Chouzo) Beta Blaster?
Chouzo: (to Rhexus) Beta Blaster.
(The two go down to Earth to try and turn up the battle.)
RedJupiter: What's all this now? A party?
Rhexus: Yeah, User. A coming out party. Beta Blast all of them!
(Chouzo and a horde of Balzac use the Beta Blaster to enlarge Galevan, Hexalink, and Beta Bee.)
Galevan: The original deal still stands. Whoever finishes the Rangers will fight for Namrock! (more sternly) Whoever doesn't, will be erased.
(Down on the ground.)
RedJupiter: I was afraid this would happen.
BlueNeptune: With no SkyStation, we can't fight him off!
GreenMars: Well, I'm not going to sit here and take this! Green Server Cycle, aerial mode, down...
AquaMercury: (from a distance) No! Wait!
Rangers: Laura? AquaMercury: We still have a chance.
RedJupiter: Did you upload the discs like I asked?
AquaMercury: All of them... (turns to GridRanger) ... including this.
(AquaMercury points toward the sky at a new carrier mecha, a mechanical wonder known as GridTitan. It was part tank, part battleship, but it could do amazing damage.)
GridRanger: What the... it's amazing!
AquaMercury: It's the GridTitan.
RedJupiter: It's yours. All you do now is call on it.
GridRanger: You set this up, didn't you?
BlueNeptune: Let's see. There's an uncontrollable tank think racing downtown. There are three giant viruses wanting to trample it. Can we discuss personal matters later?
GridRanger: You're right. I know what I have to do. And I have to do this now. (leaps to a rooftop) By the power of the Cyberspace Task Force...
(all of a sudden, she gets fierce.)
I SUMMON CONTROL OF GRIDTITAN!
(She leaps to the cockpit and hooks up her Grid Loader to the console.)
GridTitan, ready!
(The new machine readies the cannons and fires them. They hit the Beta Bee hard.)
This is so incredible! You guys should come up here!
YellowVenus: Well, I'm not one to refuse an invite.
RedJupiter: Let's go! (They leap to the cockpit to join GridRanger.)
Jill, hit the ABCD buttons at once... You'll really be surprised!
(Jill hits all four buttons on her Grid Loader. The GridTitan undergoes an amazing transformation into Mode Two GridTitan.)
Rangers: Mode Two GridTitan, ready!
