11x34 - General Deception

[bunniefuu]

Deep in the mountains, Secret
Ninja Academy's train our future protectors. Ancient scrolls told of three who would be chosen above the others
three who would become.

I thought you said we were
going to get the credit. All I see is the Rangers Zords on the ground and Zurgane ready to take a bow.
You worry too much. Relax. If Zurgane takes a bow, it will be his final one.

I hope so, for our sake.

What?

Where'd you get that mode,
Cam?

I am the one in charge of upgrades, remember?

Pretty sweet.
Huh?
You guys ready to finish this?

Let's do it.

Yeah.
Locked and dropped.

I'll take that power.

Yes, I got what I came for.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Awesome, guy.
No more Zurgane.

Don't be so sure.
Zurgane's smart.

But we trashed his Zord.
Even if he got out, he's got nothing.
Something doesn't feel right. It's just
too easy.

You call that easy?

Go back to your campsite. I've
gotta check something in Ninja
Obs.

I'll go with you. I'm over
the whole camping thing.

Let us know if you find anything out.
I will. Keep your eyes open out
there.

Don't worry.

Mission accomplished, sir.

So, you're telling me that on this
disc is a clone program of all
of Rangers Zord powers.

Yes, sir. That's exactly what I'm
telling you.

That's brilliant. I didn't know you had it in
you.

Thank you, sir. I mean, well.

Only question now is, what are you going to do with it?

An excellent question. I am
preparing a w*apon so powerful
that the Rangers will soon be a
distant footnote in the Earth's
history.

Good. That's what I like to hear. Carry on, Zurgane. You always were my best general.

Thank you, sir.

Did you hear that? He always was
his best general?

I heard. I heard.

Is this how your brilliant plan is supposed to go?

I thought the Rangers would get tired and Zurgane would be destroyed.

Zurgane is trying to take out the Rangers single-handedly. He's in way over his head. This is exactly where we want to be.

You believe Zurgane will fail?

Of course he will. History is on our side there. He's failed in every mission he's ever attempted.

So have we.

Details, details.

But his new w*apon is impressive. What
if he succeeds?

He won't now, just stand by. We need to be ready when he is destroyed then
I will take my place as leader
of Lothor's army.

You mean, we will take our places.

Oh, yes, of course.

NOOO!
Huh?
Um..

What we have here?

You girls were spying, weren't
you?

No, we weren't?

Uh no, we were just um polishing the floor.
Yeah, with our ears.

I hope that is true because I'm not
very fond of spies.

Oh, no, no, no. Look, we're cleaning.

Uh-huh!
Silly fools.
Let's go.

Now, for the final phase. My new hyper Zurgane Zord. Thanks to the Rangers powers, you will soon come to life.
Together, we will be unstoppable.

Just doesn't seem logical.
Cam, sometimes one must turn away
from a problem in order to find
its solution.

Dad, I've turned every way I know how. I'm not sure there even is a problem. I just know something isn't right.

Man, I don't know if I can sit out here and have a good time after all this stuff. I just
need to chill out for a while.

I for one need to fill my grill.

Cheeseburgers, here I
come.
Oh, h*.

Oh, pickles. Tell me someone brought pickles. Man, I can't have cheeseburgers
without pickles.

Chill, bro. I brought them. Seconds away from the meal fit for a king.

Oh!
What?

Oh, no.

I don't believe this. This cannot be happening.

This whole nature things for the birds. I
say we bag it and go find some greasy fast food.

Yeah, sure. Let's all take your car.

Dude, you know I don't have a car?
Alright, I get you.

We're stuck, stranded, grounded.
We're the cast from Survivor.

This whole trip has turned out
to be one bad idea.

Oh, come on guys. We're ninjas. Trained to use what's around us. Haven't
you heard the saying? When life
gives you lemons, you make lemonade.

Well, I didn't see any lemon trees around here and between you and me, lemonade really isn't going to do it for
me right now.

It's a saying. Let's see what does go around here.
Alright.

Spread out guys and nobody comes back without any food.

You're on.
What did you find?
I'm getting a weird energy
reading. I think Zurgane used some sort of power replicator on us.

What does that mean?

It means we're in trouble.

Well, there goes the neighborhood.

Guys, it's Cam. Sorry to tell you
this but we've got another emergency on our hands.

I hear you, Cam.

With you, bro.

On my way.

Right behind you, dude.

Ready?

Ready.

Ninja Storm, Form!
Samurai Storm!
Ranger, Form! Ha!

Ranger Storm Power!

What's the deal?

I'm back and you're through.

Zurgane, I knew it.
Let's take him out!

What's the matter, Rangers? You
aren't surprised, are you?
Look out!

I have another surprise for you. Power Disc, locked and dropped.

No way.

It's a Power Sphere.
What a poser.

I knew it.

This is brutal.

Totally brutal.

That's right. A power sphere clone from your own technology. It's your move.
Yes!
Zurgane!
Go, Zurgane!
Yes!

You were saying?
I was saying, stop acting like an old
lady. Things are going exactly as I planned.

You can't use our powers against us.

We'll just see about that. Maximum power!

Whoa. Hang on guys.
We're hit!
We're down!
Is everybody alright?

Now, for the final strike. Goodbye, Rangers.

No!

Mammothzord, online.
But who—? Never send an elephant to do an alien's job.
NOOOO!

He's immobilizing.
I can't believe it. Let's put a new spin on this thing.

Sorry, not this time. Batter up.

Rangers, come back to Ninja Ops
at once. Use the Ninja Firebird to cloak your retreat.

Oh, man. On our way, Sensei.

Go ahead and retreat. As long as I have this, no one can stop me. Activating Hyper Sword. Come get me? Or have you finally given up?

He's using our powers to attack the city.

We've gotta get back out there.

I need more time before the Zords will be
ready to battle again.

How are we going to fight that thing without the Zords?

Think Rangers. What other resources are at your disposal?

What about the Gliders?

And the Tsunami cycles?

Excellent thinking. Individually, your weapons would be overpowered
but together, your resources will be significant.

Alright, follow my lead guys. Maybe we
can draw 'em out of that thing.

Right behind you.

I'll bring the Zords when they're
repaired. Good luck. I better work fast.

Hey, Zurgane! You gotta hide in that thing all day.
Yeah, come out and fight.

Why are you too scared?

Yeah.
What.
Look, no Zords.

Come and get us.

Enough of this foolishness.

No! Don't leave the Zord. Have you
learned nothing?

The end is near for Zurgane.

I'll fight you on my own.

Go time.

I've almost got it back online.
Almost. Hold on, guys.

Storm Striker.

Ready! Fire!

What?

No way.

There's more.

Cam, we're running out of
options.

Got it. I'm on my way and I'm bringing some backup.
Yeah!
Alright!

If that's the way you want it. To the,
Zord. I'm back in the saddle and I'm ready to rise.

It's on now.

What are we doing here? We
should be fighting.

We don't need to fight. One of our
enemies will soon be destroyed. All we have to do is wait and see who could then destroy the other.

Time to call out the hurricane.

You got it.

Yeah.
Locked and dropped!
Give it your best shot.
Charge! Full power!

It's over for you.

Not even close. Mammothzword, let's rock.
Good job!
Awesome.

Let's go for it.

Let's go. I know how this will
end.

Wait. Wait for me.
Give up!
Never!

Ready?
Ready?
Ready?
Ready?
Ready?
Ready?
Fire!
Ha ha!
We rock!
Here we are. I can't believe these guys
still wanted to go camping after all this. I just want to go to sleep.

Me too. I just didn't want them thinking I
was, well, lame.

Me too.

I bet Zurgane's worse shape than
them.

No doubt.

Oh, I was so close. Will there
never be a day that is march for victory and I always have to suffer at the hands of the Power Rangers. Tell me, when will it end.

Zurgane lives.
Not for long. Well, hello, Zurgane.
Vexacus, what are you doing here?

I must admit Zurgane, I admire your
efforts.

Is that right?

You are a warrior to be respected.

Perhaps, we should join forces.

Not in this lifetime.

You will pay for that?

I've come for a new General to lead.
Your days are over Zurgane and mine just beginning.

Goodbye, Zurgane.
