19x16 - Fight Fire With Fire

[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.

- [Clears throat]

Octoroo.

- Dayu, it's you.

- Humph, no welcome
from my furry wart friends?

[Furry warts squeaking]

- I've been so lonely.

Whoa, ooh.

Shoo!

Since you left,

I've had no one
to trade insults with.

I'm glad you're back.

- So master xandred's
still recovering

At the bottom
of the sanzu river.

- Ooh-ah-ooh,

He stayed in the human world
too long

And almost completely dried out.

At least he fixed your harmonium
before that happened.

- And in return,
I pledged my loyalty to him.

- Good, but I don't know
when he'll be back.

Right now, he must soak up

As much misery
from the sanzu river as he can.

Remember, the boss
has a big tank,

And it'll take some time
to fill.

- We should cause some misery
of our own in the meantime.

- Ooh-ah-ooh,
here's what we can do:

Ambush the red ranger
and take him down.

If we get rid of him,

We save the boss,
and we save ourselves.

- Go on.
I'm listening.

- I have the perfect weapon

And the perfect nighlok
to use it.

She's fast as lightning

And knows
how to fight fire with fire.

Fiera!

- [Screeching]

Did you miss me, octoroo?

Yearning for a dose
of something wicked?

- Ooh-ah-ooh,
have I got a job for you.

- Dayu!

I didn't think they'd let you
back on this ship.

What's the matter?

Couldn't make any friends
on earth,

Just like here?

- Hah!
- Ah!

- Listen, birdbrain,

No matter where I go,
I'm still a nighlok.

Rather than testing my patience
with your taunts,

Why don't you try something
challenging?

Help us take down
the red ranger.

- Count me in.

[Cackling]

- Well played.

Your skills are exactly
what we need for this job.

All you have to do
is target the red ranger.

These are specially designed

To take down the head
of the shiba clan.

- Hmm, what are they?

- Fire flashers.

Red's symbol power is fire,

So we're going to fight
fire with fire.

These are filled
with evil flames

From the sanzu river.

[Chuckles]
every time they strike,

It'll make a fire
within him burn

And destroy him
from the inside out.

Ooh-ah-ooh,
the red ranger is through.

[Alarm blaring]

- Nighlok attack at the park.

Let's go.

[People screaming]

- Samuraizer.

All:
go, go, samurai.

[Lasers zapping]

Hah!

- Gold power, hah!

[All shouting]
- take them out.

[Creatures shouting
and gurgling]

[Swords clanging]

- So that's the red ranger,

The head
of the fiery shiba clan.

Time to use these fire flashers
to really light him up.

[Maniacal laughter]

[Warbling tone]

[All shouting,
swords clanging]

- [Shouting indistinctly]

These guys get uglier
every time I see them.

- Yo, moogers have cornered
the market on ugly.

It's what they do best.

- Stay focused.

Pick your targets.

- I've picked mine.

[Laser zaps]

[expl*si*n]

- [Grunts]

[expl*si*n]

- [Gasps]
what was that?

- Jayden!

- You okay?

- He's hit.

- What's that smoke?

- It feels like my insides
are burning up.

- Let me get you
even more fired up.

Ha!

[Laser zapping]

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

- [Groans]
it won't stop burning.

What are those things?

Where is she?

- Hello.

Want another?

[expl*si*n]

- [Grunts]

[expl*si*n]

[Screams]
it burns!

- She's singling out jayden.

We have to protect him.

- Too late.

- [Groans]

- Yah!
That would have finished him.

- [Groans]

- Careful.

Those blasts are powerful.

- I feel okay.

[Warbling tone]

That blast
didn't affect me much.

- Really?

- Yeah, I'm barely scratched.

I think we can block her shots,
rangers.

[Warbling tone]

[Shouting]

[Laser zaps]

[Explosions]

- [Groans and screams]

- Jayden!

Why is that just happening
to him?

- I'll tell you why.

The head of the shiba family
has massive fire symbol power.

My fire flashers simply ignite
the flames already inside him.

And you can't stop me.

You can't even see me.

[Maniacal laughter]

- Where is she?

- We must protect jayden
and the sealing power.

Together:
right.

- Now you see me;
now you don't.

[Warbling tone
and laser zapping]

- You guys,
stop taking hits for me.

- We have to protect you.

Besides, her hits aren't that
strong. We're a team, jayden.

- He's right.
If they want you,

They'll have to go
through us first.

- Emily's right.

We six are a team till the end.

- [Thinking]
they're too loyal.

[Warbling tone]

- Ready to have a blast?

[Fast warbling tone
and laser zapping]

[All grunting and groaning]

- Please, you guys
need to stop protecting me.

[Groans]

I can handle this.

[Grunts]

You want me?

Then fight me,
not them.

Super samurai mode.

[Warbling tone]

- Nice vest.
[Cackling]

[expl*si*n]

[Heavy breathing]

[expl*si*n and pulsing]

- Trying to run won't help.

[Cackling]

- Come on,
we can't let him do this alone.

- That's just who jayden is.

He'll do anything to protect us.

Hah!

- [Groaning]

- Noble self-sacrifice?

You humans are pitiful.

[Warbling tone]

- [Groaning]
jayden!

Watch out!

- This will finish you.

- Think again.
Ah!

Say hello
to my bullzooka.

[Groaning]

- [Screaming]

- [Groaning]

- Ah, you,

You're supposed to burn up,
not me.

[Screaming]

- Jayden, no!

- Help him!

- I can't believe the fire
didn't consume him.

What happened?

- If he's the head
of the shiba family,

There should have been
enough fire symbol power in him

To destroy him.

[Gasps]

There's only one explanation.

- Jayden,

You're going to be okay.

Just hang on.

- You got to lead, kevin.

- You can count on me.

- He's toast.

Ha-ha!

And the rest of you
will be next.

- Just rest here, buddy.

We're coming back for you.

Let's do this.

Super samurai combination!

[Mechanical clanking]

Together:
claw armor megazord!

We are united!
Fight!

- And united you'll fall.

[Explosions]

Together:
ah, no.

- Let's face it.

You can't keep up.

It's no use.

[Warbling tone and explosions]

Together:
whoa, whoa.

- She's too fast.

- Without your leader,
you're easy prey.

- No, the zords
are breaking loose.

Ahh!

- [Voice echoing]
jayden, don't worry.

I'll handle this.

[Device beeping and whirring]

- Now you'll see how wicked
I can really be.

Ahh!

[Explosions rumbling]

[All shouting]

[Laughing maniacally]

Huh?

- [Roaring]

- Who's in the lionzord?

- It can't be jayden.

- Yeah, he's still
on the ground.

- Then what's going on?

Who's in his zord?

- We've all seen enough
of your disappearing act.

It's time to make you disappear.

- Think again.

- I have.

And your harebrained moves
end here now.

- It's time to make you
disappear.

- No!

- Huh!
You know what?

Hair like yours
needs a good blow-dry.

- A torch attack?

No!

You fight fire with fire.

- Whoa.
- Huh?

- How?
- Wow.

- What gives?

- Ah, oh.

- Megablade, activate.

Pentagonal fury.

[Flames whooshing]

- [Screaming]

[Metal screeching]

[Screaming]

Whoa, this didn't go
according to plan.

[expl*si*n booms]

- [Grunts]

Samurai rangers,
victory is ours.

- This doesn't make any sense.

- We need to help jayden.

Jayden, are you okay?

- I'm okay.

I'm okay.

- We need to help him.

We got to get him
to the shiba house.

- Yeah.

- [Grunts]

- Huh?

- Huh?
- What?

[Dramatic music]

♪ ♪

- What's going on here?

- Who are you?

- She's my big sister.

Together:
huh?

- Lauren.

- What?

You didn't tell us
you had a sister.

- Hi, jayden.

- Why didn't we know about you?

And where have you been?

- Why weren't you with jayden?

And what abou--

- Whoa, whoa, whoa,

Don't just throw
a million questions at her.

Why don't we start with this:

Lauren,
welcome to the samurai rangers.

- Thank you.

I've imagined this day
for a long time.

I can't wait to get to know
each one of you

And especially
my little brother.

- The nighlok never even knew
lauren existed.

It was all part
of their father's secret plan.

You see,
in the last invasion

Master xandred's forces
were waging an intense battle.

They were overwhelming
the samurai rangers.

[Nighloks growling and snarling]

So their father put all
his faith in his two children.

Lauren was sent off
and put into hiding...

So she could fully master
the sealing power.

But while his sister practiced
the sealing symbol,

Someone had to continue
to fight off the nighlok.

That's where jayden came in.

- But jayden
was only a little boy then.

- Exactly.

His father feared he himself

Hadn't mastered
the sealing power,

But he was determined to try.

He hoped even an imperfect seal

Would be strong enough
to at least send master xandred

To the bottom
of the sanzu river

Long enough
to allow his daughter

To truly master
the symbol herself

And for his son
to grow strong enough

To protect the world
until she did.

To deceive the nighlok,

Jayden had to do
one of the hardest things

In the whole world,

Hide it from his best friends.

- He must have felt like
his whole life was a secret.

- And he's been
carrying that around

Inside himself all this time.

- So does this mean she's ready?

- Yes.

She has finally mastered
the sealing power,

The only power capable

Of sealing master xandred
away forever.

This is the thing
we've been waiting for.

- Ooh-ah-ooh,

The red ranger
played us for fools.

He was an imposter all along.

That's why he never used
the sealing power

And why those fire flashers
didn't work on him.

If master xandred were here,

His rage alone
might flood the sanzu river.

- I was so proud
when I saw you fight yesterday.

You've grown
into a true samurai.

- You were the one
who tore up the b*ttlefield.

You were amazing.

- Here, have some more
green tea.

I thought of you often
over the years.

I imagined that, like me,
you must have felt very alone.

- Yes, but I've learned
to trust my friends.

They've become like
brothers and sisters to me too.

- I'm so glad.

I hope I can become
part of the family now too.

You, me, surrounded by friends.

- Lauren, you know
we can't be together now.

- I had hoped that maybe
there would be some way.

- I always knew this day
would come.

You are now the red ranger.

You must take your place
as their leader.

The only way for that to happen
is for me to leave.

- Jayden--

- The sealing power is
the only way to save the world.

It must be protected

And that means protecting you
at all costs.

They're too loyal to me.

If I stay...

If I stay, dangerous mistakes
could be made.

But I can't let that happen.

- Are you sure?

- There can only be
one red ranger.

- Yeah, here, man.

- Thanks, bro.

- Lauren, perfect timing.

- Hey, lauren.

Good to see you.

- Here's a special burger
for our new ranger.

- Thank you.

- Wow, this is classic.

- Oh.

- I could write kanji symbols
like a master with this thing.

- I wouldn't go that far.

Mike has kanji issues.

- Hey.

- This belonged to my father.

He used it in his last battle.

- Huh, I'm sorry.

[Melancholy music]

♪ ♪

- [Sighs]

- It's really great to have
another girl on the team.

- Oh, thanks.

We should totally
have a girls' day out.

- Yeah.

- Hey, now, look who's up.

Come on, jayden,

It's your sister's
homecoming party.

- And we even got cake.

- Come on.

- Jayden, what's wrong?

- What's the deal?

[Girls gasp]

- You all need
to follow lauren now.

She's the new red ranger
and your leader.

I'm going away.

- What do you mean?

- You mean on a trip, right?

- I mean permanently.

Together:
what?

- Why?
- No!

- Jayden, you can't go.

You know how we all feel.

- I know.

But lauren alone
has the sealing power.

She's able to do
what I could never do:

End this fight,
bring peace.

You all need
to rally around her.

- We need you too.

Lauren, tell him.

Well, go on, tell him.

- Mentor, what is this?

Jayden's leaving.

How could you keep this from us?

Come on!

Make him stay.

- You can't stop him.

No one can.

- [Scoffs]

- Ji,
you've been my guiding light.

Thank you for everything.

Mike,

Emily,

Mia,

Antonio,

Kevin,

It's been an honor
to fight by your side.

- I'm going with you.

- You're a samurai ranger.

I'm counting on you to stay

And fight by my sister's side.

I know you'll make her as proud
of you as you've made me.

- This can't be happening.

- It was jayden
who brought us together.

Somehow, fighting next to him
made me a stronger warrior.

- So what are we supposed to do?

Just forget about him
like he never existed?

- Of course not.

- Mike,
you remember what jayden said.

We have a duty as samurai.

- Well, he's my best friend.

And technically, I'm not
a true samurai like all you are.

So I'm going after him.

- I'm sorry, lauren.

I'm sure you're a great samurai,

But it's just not the same
without jayden.
