[PLAYS TUBA]

[SOFT, INTRIGUING MUSIC]

DEVON: Nice one, man.
Heads up, Zoey.

ZOEY: Nate!

[GRUNTS]

STEEL: Nate, over here!
I got it. Oh, no, I don't.

ZOEY: On it.

Ravi. You wanna
come play with us?

No, thanks. I'm just, uh,

brushing up on
emergency procedures.

Ooh. [CHUCKLES] Sounds fun [!]
Go long!

BOY 1: Hey,
check out this loser.

You like playing
that fart machine?

It's called a tuba.

Oh, yeah? Your tuba
needs to be fine-tuned.

[OTHER BOYS LAUGH]

[LAUGHS]

- There. Fixed it for you.
- [OTHER BOYS LAUGH]

- BOY 2: Good one, bro.
- BOY 1: Let's go, guys.

BOY 2: Yeah.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

Hey. You OK?

I saw what happened back there.
Sure you don't want that tuba?

[SIGHS] I don't
need it any more.

I wanted to quit playing anyway.
It's stupid.

Stupid? Hey, my grandfather used
to play tuba in a jazz band.

- Really?
- He was as cool as they come.

- He played in a band?
- Yep.

That would be cool.

- I'm Ravi. What's your name?
- Joey.

I've seen you teaching karate
at the Riptide Gym. Right?

Maybe you could
teach me some moves.

OK. Meet me there
this afternoon.



Really? Totally cool.

See you!
[FOOTSTEPS RECEDE]

[DARK MUSIC]

ROXY: [LAUGHS]
Time for a change of tune.

[DEVICE POWERS UP]

Tubatron in concert!
Get your tickets now.

Keep your volume down,
brass head.

Now, when the Rangers show up,

I need you to collect data on
the Red Ranger's Beast Power.

- Oh!
- Cheetah speed.

Now go make some noise.

- Done. [PLAYS LOUD TUBA NOTES]
- [SCREAMING]

A Robotron.
Where did that come from?

I don't know, but he's way
off-key. It's morphin' time!

[DEVICES POWER UP]

ALL: Activate Beast Power!

[ALL GRUNT]

[ACTION MUSIC CONTINUES]

ALL: Unleash the Beast!

My music is gonna blow you away.
[PLAYS LOUD NOTE]

[RANGERS GRUNT]

[TUBATRON GRUNTS]

[ACTION MUSIC]

Let's make this a duet.

[GRUNTS]

[ALL GRUNT]

Ready to face the music,
Rangers?

[BOTH GRUNT]

ZOEY: Look out, Devon!

[GRUNTS, PLAYS LOUD NOTE]

DEVON: Missed me.

[GRUNTS]

Transport Striker Saber.

[SHOUTS]

[ALL GRUNT]

- Hi-yah!
- Oh! Whoa!

- [GRUNTS]
- Hey!

ROXY: Watch it, blowhard.

[BOTH SHOUT, GRUNT]

ZOEY: Way to go, Ravi.

TUBATRON: This audience doesn't
appreciate my musical genius.

ROXY: Yeah. We're outta here.

DEVON: No!

RAVI: That Robotron
will be back.

- DEVON: Better get to base.
- ZOEY: Let's go.

SCROZZLE: Aargh!
Those fools totally messed up.

[ROXY AND TUBATRON GRUNT]

There you are!
The Rangers nearly beat you

without even using
their Beast Powers.

- Blame clunky over here.
- Hey!

A snail could dodge
his sonic blast.

Hmm. Maybe I could
jazz him up a bit.

With a little tinkering, I
could amplify his sonic weapon.

Give ol' Scrozzle some time,
and I promise

Tubatron will be more powerful
than ever. [LAUGHS MANIACALLY]

COMMANDER:
What's your plan, Nate?

I'm reprogramming the Gigadrone
Detector's audio sensors

to detect tuba blasts.

Now, if Tubatron shows up
and uses its weapon,

we'll know when
and where instantly.

Good work, Nate.

Monitor your Comms and stay
ready for action, just in case.

Yes, ma'am.

[EXHALES SHARPLY, GRUNTS]

- Hey.
- RAVI: Well, hey, bud.

Good to see you. Ready to train?

I was born ready.

When we're done, no one
will dare to pick on me again.

Look, Joey, the first thing you
have to learn about martial arts

is that it can only
be used to defend yourself.

- You cool with that?
- Sure. I get it.

OK. Let's do this.

RAVI: Nice job.

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

[CHUCKLES]

- [GRUNTS]
- [GRUNTS]

- [GRUNTS]
- [GRUNTS]

- Yah!
- Hi-yah!

[CHUCKLES] Ooh!

Hey!

Yeah!

[GRUNTS]

Right?

Oh, OK.

Not quite.

Try to rotate.

Try it.

GRUNTS: Oh!

Ah!

You can do this.

- [GRUNTS]
- Hey, you OK?

I'll never get that
tornado kick right.

Maybe you just need a break,

you know, do something
that makes you happy.

Like what?

It used to be my tuba, but...

[SIGHS] Maybe I shouldn't
have thrown it in the trash.

Playing was really fun, huh?

The best.

OK. Let's train again tomorrow.

SCROZZLE: Oh, Scrozzle.
You're a genius. And... done.

I've increased the blast radius
and strength by amplifying-

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Whatever. How about...

a little demonstration?

- [TUBATRON LAUGHS]
- Don't you dare.

This won't hurt. Much.

- No. Stay back.

Why be afraid of a little music?

No. No!

I said no!

[PLAYS LOUD NOTE]

ROXY: Great shot, Tubey.
[LAUGHS]

Soon the Power Rangers will
dance to a different tune.

A little song I call...

destruction.

[CHUCKLES]

[DOOR OPENS]

[LAUGHS] Hey, Ravi.

Whoa!

These are so cool.

Trumpet, eh? Hey, Ben.
We should play music together.

Yeah, form a band.
[GASPS] Go on tour.

[PLAYS NOTE]

Ugh.

It looks like
they're a little dirty.

[CHUCKLES]

Hey, Ravi. Can we borrow these?

Sure. Go for it.
They belonged to my grand-

What in the...?

Is that my father's old tuba?

Yes, ma'am.
It's- It's Grandpa's.

It was in the attic.

You're not thinking of
playing that thing, are you?

You know a Power Ranger can't
afford any silly distractions.

Absolutely. I agree.

But it's not for me. It's- I was
just giving it to a friend.

- Is that OK?
- Go right ahead.

We have much more important
things to worry about.

We need to be ready when
we find that Robotron.

Right.

Catch you guys later.

[PLAYS MUFFLED NOTES]

Hmm. We need to unclog that sax.

- All righty.
- [GRUNTS]

That oughta loosen things up.
Now, to get some air through.

[GRUNTS] That will...

blow the dirt right out.

[VACUUM CLEANER WHIRRS]

Ooh! I think it's working.

Huh? [SIGHS]

Nothing's happening.

[BOTH GRUNT, SCREAM]

[CRASH!]

RAVI: Try again, Joey.

[BOTH GRUNT]

Nice one.

Let's finish off
with something tough.

How about...
trying the tornado kick again?

- Ready?
- Yep.

[INHALES DEEPLY, EXHALES]

Aargh!

- I'll never get that kick.
- Don't be so hard on yourself.

You'll get it.

Come on.
I brought you something.

Here. Let me get that.

Whoa!
Is this you and your girlfriend?

- Oh, those aren't very good.
- Really? I think they're great.

I didn't know
you were an artist.

Yeah, well, I'm not ready
to show people my work yet.

Anyway, I don't really draw.
It's too much of distraction.

But wait till I see
what I have for you.

No way.

- For me?
- Yeah.

This is beyond cool.

But I'm still gonna
get teased for playing it.

Here's the deal -
whether it's karate or the tuba,

life is about standing up
and being true to yourself,

even when you're afraid.
Sure, you might get teased,

but don't worry about
what other people think.

Stand up for who you are
and what you believe in.

OK. I'll try.

Thanks, Ravi. You're the best.

[DUCKS QUACK]

[DUCKS QUACK]

[PLAYS JAUNTY TUNE]

[ALARM BLARES]

Commander, what's going on?

One of the detectors
picked up tuba sounds

in sector Sierra 6-3.
It could be Tubatron.

We'll check it out.

RAVI: See anything?

No, but I'm picking up
sounds from over there.

[JOEY PLAYS JAUNTY TUNE ON TUBA]

[CHUCKLES] False alarm.

STEEL: What a grand instrument.
Hey, maybe I should learn-

[ALL SHOUT, GRUNT]

- Huh?
- [TUBATRON LAUGHS]

ROXY: [LAUGHS]
Somebody ask for an encore?

Can't say that we did.

STEEL: That tuba's
horn is different.

His blasts are bigger.

They wanna pump up the volume?
Let's go all the way.

ALL: Activate Beast Power!

[ALL SHOUT]

[ALL GRUNT]

[ACTION MUSIC]

[GRUNTS] Come on!

[GRUNTS, SHOUTS]

[BEEPING]

[TUBATRON GRUNTS]

Wow!

[PLAYS LOUD NOTE]

[RANGERS GRUNT]

Huh?

RAVI: We can't dodge
those huge blasts.

ROXY: Music to my ears.

TUBATRON: The Rangers are no
match for the maestro of misery.

DEVON: Guys, what do
we do about those blasts?

NATE: If we could produce
a similar soundwave,

it might just cancel his out.

Similar soundwave.

Here comes the crescendo.

And a one, two...

- Huh?
- RAVI: Huh? Joey? No!

[PLAYS LOUD NOTE]

[PLAYS SAME LOUD NOTE]

[GRUNTS]

- [GRUNTS]
- STEEL: We got you, little man.

DEVON: Now's our chance.
Aim for the horn.

ALL: Transport Blaster!

ALL: Beast Blast!

ROXY: What happened?
Somebody hit your mute button?

NATE: Go. We'll protect the kid.

Time for your swansong.
[PLAYS LOUD NOTE]

[RANGERS GRUNT]

Time for your swansong.
[PLAYS LOUD NOTE]

DEVON: Get down!

- ALL: Beast Blast!
- [GRUNTS] Oh!

Thanks. That's exactly
what I need. I'm outta here.

The Red Ranger's
cheetah speed is mine.

Uh-uh. Not so fast.

The data chip has been blasted.
The circuits are fried.

You failed!

[GROANS LOUDLY] Not yet.

The Rangers are busy
dealing with Tubatron.

Send one of your Gigadrones.

They'll have no way
to defend the city.

Fine, but I'm only
doing this for Evox.

DIGITAL VOICE: Morphing
Beta Model into Tubadrone.

[ALARM BLARES]

Hey, kid. You did awesome,
but we gotta get you outta here.

[COMMS BEEPS]

- A Gigadrone has been detected.
- We're on it, Commander.

I have an idea. Mind if I record
the sound of your tuba, buddy?

- No problem.
- When you're ready.

- [BEEP!]
- [PLAYS LOUD NOTE]

- [GRUNTS]
- ZOEY: Goin' over! [GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

[TUBATRON GRUNTS]

You're busting my brass.

Tronics!

This classic hit
is just for you.

DEVON: Ready? Let's go.

[RANGERS GRUNT]

Requesting a pick-up vehicle,
Commander.

Nate has a brilliant plan
to deal with the Gigadrone.

Copy.

Despatch an SUV.

- [PLAYS LOUD NOTE]
- Huh? [GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS] Ugh. You're
really getting on my nerves.

[ALL GRUNT]

RAVI: Tubatron's got
Zoey on the ropes. [GRUNTS]

ZOEY: Yah!

Take a bow, Ranger. I'm drawing
the curtain on you for good.

Oh yeah? Try me.

- RAVI: Beast Blast!
- [GRUNTS]

- DEVON: [GRUNTS] Hi-yah!
- [GRUNTS]

DEVON: Let's finish
on a high note. Transport!

Oh!

ALL: Beast-X Cannon ready!

- [TUBATRON GROWLS]
- RANGERS: Beast-X Cannon Blast!

No!

[GRUNTS] This really blows!

ZOEY: Just like your music.

DEVON: Silence has
never sounded so sweet.

RAVI: Let's get to our Zords.

Commander, we're
heading back to base.

Let's roll.

Rangers are en route.

Deploy Zords as soon
as they're in place.

In position.

Let's go.

All systems go.

[FOOTSTEPS THUD]

Guys, I have a recording
of Joey's tuba.

Maybe we can use it
to cancel out

the Gigadrone's sonic attack,
just like in the park before.

Uploading the audio file to
the Wheeler Zord's sound system.

STEEL: Nice, bro.
Now, let's crank it up.

Data stream received.
Gorilla mode, here we go.

[FOOTSTEPS THUD]

Back away from the tower.

- [GIGADRONE PLAYS LOUD NOTE]
- Now, Smash!

[PLAYS LOUD TUBA NOTE]

It's working!

Yeah. The sound waves are
cancelling each other out.

Yes! Now's our chance.
Rapid Blast!

[ACTION MUSIC]

[PLAYS OFF-KEY NOTES]

DEVON: Ready to wrap
this show up?

- RAVI AND ZOEY: Yeah!
- ALL: Beast-X Megazord combine!

[ACTION MUSIC CONTINUES]

ALL: Beast-X Megazord unleashed!

ZOEY: Powering Beast-X Blade!

RAVI: Charging main weapons.

Transport Cheetah Beast Blaster!

[GROWLS]

[GRUNTS]

Beast-X Hyperstrike!

[ACTION MUSIC BUILDS]

ALL: Virus eliminated.

JOEY: They were about
to crush the Robotron,

and then the Gold Ranger
asked me to play the tuba.

- It was so awesome.
- DEVON: I bet.

I wish you could've been there.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY] Me too, champ.

Whoo! OK, Ben. Time for our
band's first practice session.

- You got this?
- BEN: Got it.

- Got the tune?
- Got the tune.

- Ready?
- All right. Clear the area.

And a one and a two and a...

- [PLAYS SMOOTH TUNE]
- [SAXOPHONE SQUEAKS]

[SAXOPHONE SQUEAKS]

BOY: Ugh, what is that?

Boo!

Wow, seriously?

Nobody wants to listen to
you two weirdos making noise.

[BETTY SCOFFS]

What this band needs is
a cool front man. Gimme that.

- [GASPS]
- Hey!

Check me out.

[PLAYS LOUD NOTE]

[LAUGHTER]

- You did that on purpose.
- No, we didn't. We swear.

But we should've!

- You'll regret that.
- Leave 'em alone.

Or what, dweebus?

Wait.

Hi-yah!

[GRUNTS]

BOY: C-Come on. Let's go.

- Thanks!
- Thanks, man!

- No problem.
- You're awesome.

BEN: Really!

Nice work standing up
to those guys.

Plus, you finally
nailed that tornado kick.

- I'm proud of you, Joey.
- Thanks.

Oh! I have something for you.

This is yours.

NATE: Come on, man.

It fell out of your
sketch book the other day.

I think it's really good.

As a thank you.

And a reminder of
what you taught me -

life's about being yourself, no
matter what other people think.

This is...

very special.

Thanks, Joey.
