18x11 - Test of the Leader

[bunniefuu]

Male narrator:
centuries ago in japan,

Nighlok monsters
invaded our world,

But samurai warriors
defeated them with power symbols

Passed down
from parent to child.

Today the evil nighlok
have risen once again

And plan to flood the earth.

Luckily, a new generation
of heroes stand in their way.

They are
the power rangers samurai.

- What are y s saying?

I'm weak?

- No!
No!

Ooh-ah-ooh.

I was just bothered
by what deker said,

That you weren't going after
the red ranger.

- I want to go after red ranger,

The new leader
of the samurai,

But I'm not looking to interfere
with any of your plans.

- Do what you will.

My head is pounding.

- Hmm...

I see you're still suffering

From when the last red ranger
sealed you down here.

- So I looked
in the archives.

The power to seal you here

Has always rested in the hands
of the samurai sheba family,

Headed by the red ranger.

The red ranger did this?

How did deker know that
and you didn't?

- Is he trying to play me
for a fool,

Like those darn rangers?

Ugh!

Moogers!
att*ck!

Destroy them all!

- What is the second principle
of the samurai?

- Um, bravery and...heroism?

- Good.
What about the third?

- Run!

- [Whispering nonsense]

Monsters!

- What?
Wrong.

The answer is--

[Woman screaming]

[Gasps]

Monsters!

Run!

- Wait, what about bravery
and heroism?

- Oh, you're right, spike.

This is what
we've been training for.

Let's get 'em.

[Together]
teriyaki!

[Alarm beeping]

- Uncle bulk,
are we're gonna fight?

- Uh...yeah.

Just let me, uh,
catch my breath.

Get him.

- Yeah, all right.

Oh!

[Both screaming]

[Gurgly growling]

- [Whimpering]

- Back off!

- Ahh...

- Ha!

Huh!

You okay?

You got to get out of here.

- Uhhh...

- As in right now.

- Right now?

- Best to clear out of here
and get somewhere safe.

- Sounds good to me.

- You!

You're a samurai ranger!

- And you're both in danger.

Please get to safety.

Ha!

- She's right, spike.

We'd better get going.

- Sure hope the guys
show up soon.

- Me too.

- Look, there they are.

- Kevin, we got giant moogers
dead ahead.

- Yeah, it's time to team up.

- Sounds like a e an.

Let's do it, jayden.

- Zords combine.

Samurai battle wing.

Ha!

[Together]
samurai battle wing.

We are united.

- Punching.

- Yeah!
- Excellent!

- Yeah!
- Boo-yah!

- Gosh!

These creeps never get tired.

- Yeah, this isn't looking good.

- Ha!

- Jayden!

Man, are we glad
to see you guys.

- Wow, there's a whole lot
of ugly here.

- Yup, time to change
this picture.

Spin zord.
Blazing strike!

- Spin zord!

Dragon splash!

Ha!

- Spin zord, airway.

Ha!

- Spin zord, forest vortex!

- Spin zord,
seismic swing!

- What?
There's more?

- Ugh, they're like roaches.

- Then we have to be
the exterminators.

- Man, you moogers
just don't quit.

- [Growling]

- Huh?

Ugh!

Hey!
What gives?

- Ugh!

- Red ranger, red ranger...

- What?

Guys, they want jayden.

- What are you doing, cowards?

Come back and fight.

- What's going on?

- Red ranger...

Red ranger...

Red ranger...

- Master xandred.

- Check it out.

That weird voice
is putting these moogers

Into a trance.

- Yeah, it's like
they're hypnotized.

- Red ranger...

- Ugh, it's creeping me out.

- Hey, let's circle up
to protect jayden.

Jayden, watch out!

- I've been wanting to try out

A new symbol combination
for a while,

And now is the time.

- Hey.

- Spin zord!
Blazing storm!

- Red ranger, you're in danger.

[Laughing]

- Oh, no.

- All right, can someone
please tell me

What the heck that voice was?

- I've never heard anything
so evil.

- That wasn't just a normal
nighlok, was it, jayden?

- No, I think that was
master xandred.

- Master xandred?

As in the lord of the nighloks?

You think he's back?

- Are you serious?

Why would he be calling out,
"red ranger, red ranger"?

Why just you?

- Ugh.

- He's having a snore
on the floor.

His medicine isn't working,
and he's been so grumpy.

All his evil energy
is spawning more moogers.

They're everywhere.

- I understand his anger.

The rangers have been stopping

All our attempts
to flood the river,

And now history could repeat
itself with the new red ranger.

- I've been looking for answers.

I thought this new bunch of
samurai pests were just lucky,

But it seems like they're
mastering powers

That could spell real trouble
for us.

- Ugh.

More medicine.
Ugh.

- No!
No!

I thought we got rid
of you furry warts.

Not more pests!

- More pests, more pests,
more pests, more pests!

- I'm proud to have been wounded
on the field of battle.

- You mean that bug bite?

- Keep bandaging.

We actually fought
side-by-side

With a samurai ranger.

- The pink ranger...

Uhh...

- Ha!

Huh!

Come with me, my love.

- Spike!

Spike!

Spike!

[Muffled shouting]

- [Laughing]

- Why were the moogers
only after jayden?

- Jayden,
master xandred must know.

- Know what?

Are you keeping secrets
from us?

- There is a secret symbol
that can create seal.

The previous red ranger used it
to imprison master xandred.

When master xandred
last att*cked us,

It was a surprise.

And we were nearly defeated.

- Red ranger, you'll regret

Ever trying to mess
with my plans.

You're no match for me.

Ha!
Victory is mine!

[Laughing]

What?

Nooooooo!

- That symbol
is how jayden's father

Was able to seal xandred away
last time.

- So that means it's up
to jayden now?

- Yes, only members
of the red ranger sheba family

Can use the seal.

- Guess that means
you really are the man.

- Jayden's father did everything
he could to save us.

- Jayden, wait.

- What's the big deal?

Jayden just has to use

His special sheba family
symbol power

To seal master x.

- It's not so simple.

It takes unbelievable
symbol power

To make the seal permanent.

- Of course.

The last red ranger
didn't do it right.

Our master was able to revive
because the red ranger

Didn't have enough strength
to create a permanent seal.

- What about
the current red ranger?

- Ooh-ah-ooh.

No, he's not strong enough
either.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah.

Would we be standing here
if he could?

- So let's take him out.

- Ooh, I know the perfect guy.

Even other nighlok
are afraid of him.

Rabtish, are you there?

- [Groaning]

Right here, shark bait.

- Ooh-ah-ooh.

We need you to deal

With a pesky kid
in a red helmet.

Would you like to take him on?

- Like to?

I'd love to.

Ha!

- This is awesome.

Jayden just has to master
the seal symbol,

And master xandred
will be old news.

- But the last red ranger
couldn't master the seal.

- And the ranger before him
couldn't master it as well.

[Sighs]
no ranger has.

- He'll master it.
He has to.

It's his destiny.

- That's right.

And until then,

We have to protect jayden.

That's our number one mission.
Got it?

If we work as a team,

We can protect jayden
from anything.

- Now I see it.

That's why we've been training
our whole lives.

- No, that's not necessary.

You protect yourselves.

It's business as usual.

Stay focused on the battle
at hand as a team, okay?

- We must protect you,
at all costs!

- No!

That's just too much
of a burden to bear.

- Huh?

[Alarm blaring]

- The nighlok must be here
somewhere.

- Ha.

- There he is.

- Which one of you
is the red ranger?

Why, hello there.

Rumor has it that you've got

Some special tricks
up your sleeve.

The boss has a problem
with that,

So I have to destroy you.

Sorry.

- Sorry?

I'll show you who's gonna be
sorry.

- Master xandred must know

That jayden has
the sealing power.

- This is too dangerous.

This is exactly the type
of battle you should avoid.

Let us do our duty
and protect you.

- Take this, red.

- Go, go, samurai!

Ha!

Haa!

H'yahh!

- Why won't jayden listen?

- I don't know
let's just get up there.

Get out your samuraizers, guys.

- Hmm...

- This fight is kind of fun.

You're not bad.

- Save the compliments.

- Jayden!

Whoa!

- Kev, stay focused.

We've got our own fight here.

- Yeah, we got to b*at
these moogers

So we can help jason, and fast.

- Uhhh-ah!

- Agghhh!

- You're down
and you'll soon be out.

- Think again, nighlok.

- Ughhh!

This fight ends for you now.

Double slash!

[Shouting]

- Ahhhh!

- Jayden!

- Ugh.

- Huh.
Waahhhh!

Look at ya.

One double slash and you're down
for the count.

- Down...
But not out.

- I thought you'd be tough,

But you're crawling around
like a bug.

And I love to crush bugs.

- Guys, look!

- Jayden!
- We're coming!

- No, protect yourselves.

- Double slash!

- Noooo!

- Kevin!

- Emily!

- No.

This is exactly what I didn't
want to happen.

- Those fools must really care
about you.

That's their mistake.

[Laughing]

Don't touch them.

- We got to help.

Spin zords!

- Strike!

- H'yah!

Jayden, are you okay?

- Five for the price of one.

That's a deal.

Deker, what are you doing here?

- Red ranger is my opponent,
not yours.

I'll ask you once,
please leave.

- And what if I don't want to?

- Come on.

I'll take both of you on
if I have to,

Whatever it takes
to protect my friends.

- That's enough, deker.

The red ranger is my opponent
to defeat.

- Stand aside, nighlok.

- You both need to stand aside.

- That's it.

Time to finish you off.

- Nope, it's time
to get fired up.

- It's amazing.

Where is he finding the strength
to hold them both off?

- [Grumbling]

- [Growling]

- Okay, boys, your move.

- [Laughing]

- Gah...

You're both in luck.

I'm dried out.

Master xandred won't be happy
about this.

- He'll be back.

Why did you help me?

- My only desire
is to find someone

Skilled enough
to be my opponent,

Someone worthy to clash
against my sword uramasa.

- Jayden!
Don't fight him!

[Zapping]
- ahh!

Ugh!

Gugh!

- No!

- That was too easy.

This isn't the battle I want.

Rabtish's double slash
took too much out of you.

Uramasa won't be satisfied
unless you're at your peak.

Next time,
you will taste his slash.

Now go.

You'll need to be
at full strength

To even have a chance
against me.

Red ranger...

You will satisfy my hunger.

You will give me the battle
I have desired for centuries.

So for now, I leave you be,

Until you are again
at your best.

Then we will duel.

- Wait, is that that weird dude

From when we fought
that other nighlok?

- Yes, I think that's him.

- Looks like we have a winner.

- Who are you?

- Doesn't matter who I am.

- Hey!

What are you, anyway?

Are you a nighlok?

- I am deker.

Nothing more, nothing less.

- Deker?
Huh?

[Both groaning]

Kevin!
Emily!

Are you okay?

[Both groaning]

Are you okay?

Just hold on.

- Mentor, we need help.

Kevin and emily are b*at up.

- Hold on, emily.

Just hold on.

- Rangers...

Has anyone seen jayden?

- Is he in the dojo?

- No.

Jayden, where are you?

Jayden!

- I'll never put them
in harm's way again.

This is my fight.

I must do this my own way.
