Hey, Javi.

-What's up? -Hey.

How you feeling about this Songathon, Javi?

Pretty confident.

Well, cos I'm singing my best song, Spotlight.

It's so good.

I can't believe my brother wrote it.

Oh, I love that song.

♪ Now I'm free to dance into my spotlight. ♪

[chuckles] Whoa.

-Please stop. -What?

[inhales sharply] Let's just say singing isn't your thing.

But it is mine.

Spotlight is the perfect song for this comp.

-I really wanna win. -[chuckles] That's my boy.

How you feeling?

Just hoping that my practice pays off.

It's got to. But you shouldn't take anything for granted,

So how about one last practice for your old man?

You got it.

Spotlight, comin' up.

[plays guitar]

♪ And now I'm free to dance into my spotlight. ♪

♪ Watch me while I paint the sky so bright. ♪

♪ I knew I'd be all right, ♪

♪ dancing in my spotlight. ♪

-Yeah. -[applause]

-[phone chimes] -[gasps] Contest time! Come on!

Let's go.

OK.

All righty. Places, everyone. It's Songathon time.

Now give it up for your host, Jane!

[applause]

Welcome to the annual Buzzblast Songathon,

where only one talented musician will win the title

of best original song.

Performers will battle it out in our studio and online,

cos we're livestreaming around the world.

Your job is to vote on the Buzzblast app

and help our expert judges decide who wins.

Now give it up for our first performer

Mr Ed Jones, aka Pop-Pop!

-[cheering] -[Amelia] Go, Pop-Pop! Whoo!

[plays upbeat violin music]

♪ If your pipes are a-leakin', I can fix it. ♪

♪ If your door is a-squeakin', I can fix it. ♪

-[balloon pops] -[laughter]

Now we know why they call him Pop-Pop.

You got this, Pop-Pop. Keep going.

[resumes upbeat violin music]

♪ If your circuits have a-blew ♪

♪ and you don't know what to do, I can fix that too. ♪

Ha-ha!

[all gasp]

♪ I can fix it. ♪

[laughter]

[applause]

Great job, Mr Jones.

Buzzblasters will recognize our next contestant.

Give it up for Blair Bartlett,

former frontman of The Screaming Zombies.

-[applause] -Blair?!

There's no way he'll b*at you, Javi.

And if his songwriting's anything like his personality,

-this tune's gonna be a drag. -[rock music plays]

♪ They say you should try. ♪

♪ Let it guide you through the night till the day comes. ♪

Isn't that your song?

♪ I said, 'Yeah, you're right.' ♪

♪ Rather fight and take flight than to back down. ♪

♪ I found all that I needed. ♪

♪ Your touch made me believe in true love. ♪

♪ My love. ♪

♪ Now I'm free to dance into my spotlight. ♪

♪ Watch me while I paint the sky so bright. ♪

♪ I knew that I would be all right. ♪

Stop the show!

That's my song!

What the heck is going on?

You're a cheat, that's what!

Now, Izzy, just relax, OK? I'll handle this professionally.

He stole my son's song!

Judges, please.

I've been singing this song for days, all over town.

[scoffs]

-You must've heard it. -Yeah, no.

Javi's just jealous.

If he's been playing it, it's cos he copied me, OK?

I wrote it. [chuckles]

-Prove it! -You prove it.

There's no proof who wrote the song,

so Blair can still play it.

What? That's not fair!

Javi, we understand if you want to perform something different,

so we're gonna move you into the final slot, tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

You want me to write a new song,

a contest winning song by tomorrow?!

I can't do that.

Oh, I agree. You could never write a contest winning song.

-[audience murmurs] -OK, enough.

We've made our decision, so let's get back to the show.

-Unbelievable. -[rock music resumes]

[on TV] ♪ And now I'm free… ♪

[hums Spotlight tune]

So catchy.

And that was Blair with his song Spotlight,

which he claims is original.

-[beep!] -Hm.

Oh, Void Queen!

I've got a genius idea.

It's so good, I should join the genius society.

Ha! I doubt the genius society accepts mushrooms, but go on.

Well, copying paid off for this kid in a songathon.

So maybe doing the same could help us b*at the Rangers.

We could copy one of their weapons, or a Zord, or…

My next plan is already in motion.

As usual, I'm way ahead of you.

But you're standing just over there.

[energy warbles]

I'll just go email the genius society, then!

Having fun, dear?

[laughs]

You strayed, my love.

But our paths are coming together again!

[cackles]

[ambient music]

It's no use. I'm out of ideas.

You still have until this afternoon.

[sighs] I've been trying since yesterday,

but I can't come up with anything

that's even half decent.

I can't think straight

with Blair taking all the credit for my song.

Maybe I'm better off pulling out of the contest.

You only fail when you no longer try.

Wow! You really picked up a lot of wisdom over the years.

-Where'd you hear that one? -It wasn't advice.

I was just reading a fortune cookie you left here.

It's not that hard to clean up. [alarm blares]

Now, this is odd,

a mysterious villain causing trouble near the stadium.

Who could that be?

Let's find out.

[watch beeps, energy buzzes]

[people scream]

Yes!

Run from me, you trembling chihuahuas!

There you are, Rangers!

What a pleasure to see you again!

Have we met?

I think I'd remember someone so… unique-looking.

Ha! I am one of a kind.

Well, you're gonna be the last of your kind too.

Yeah. It's Morphin' time!

[watches beep]

[all] Dino Fury Key,

Activate!

Link to Morphin Grid!

[Rangers grunt]

[beasts roar]

[energetic rock music]

[all] Dino Fury Power!

You face true power now! [laughs]

[all grunt]

[chuckles]

-Aargh! -[Rangers grunt]

-[energy buzzes] -Argh!

[groans]

[grunts]

Goodnight!

Argh!

[groans]

[growls]

[energy zaps]

[dramatic music]

[both grunt]

Izzy!

I'm so much stronger than before.

Than before? Who are you?

The better question is, who was I?

Forget Tarrick!

Forget Void Knight!

What stands before you is a being powered by Sporix!

I am Void King!

That's Tarrick?!

But you tried to help us before.

Void Queen corrected my traitorous feelings.

Now I only serve her.

Get them back to base, now.

-What? And leave you here alone? -He's too dangerous.

But you can't take him by yourself.

Don't be so sure.

Trust me. Just go.

OK.

Anything to say before we begin?

You know, I've always been fond of the phrase,

Dino Knight key, ready!

Hah!

[dynamic electronic music]

[armor smashes]

Dino Knight Armor!

[both grunt]

[smash!]

[yells]

[thud!]

-Not done yet. -[both grunt]

Seems your makeover isn't that impressive.

You're biting off more than you can chew, Red.

But if you're feeling hungry,

how about a taste of your own medicine?

I prefer the taste of victory.

You'll only dine on defeat.

Dino Knight Strike, activate!

Void Fury Unleashed!

No way!

[grunts]

You copied my att*ck.

Sorry. Was that supposed to be hard?

[grunts] How'd you do it?

You should worry about which one of us is strongest.

But you already know, don't you?

This isn't over. [grunts]

[energy zaps]

[laughs evilly]

They're going to be OK.

But I feel like I've run three marathons back-to-back.

Get some rest.

Listen to Zayto, Izzy. No more than one marathon a day.

Two at a push.

Void King copied my Dino Knight Strike and nearly took me out.

Huh. Seems this town is full of copycats lately.

-Are you sure? -Yeah.

Everything I tried, he saw coming.

How do you b*at someone

who's got the exact same fighting style?

I wonder…

If he's copying your moves,

maybe you could train against yourself.

Err, Javi, last I checked, there's only one of me.

Well, I could take the Dino Knight Morpher and fight as you.

-You can look for a weakness… -And use it against Void King.

It's worth a sh*t.

OK, Javi. Don't go easy on me just cos we're training.

-Are you ready? -Yep!

Dino Knight Key, ready!

[energy zaps]

[yells]

[chuckles] Whoa, this is cool. And it's comin' at ya!

Bring it!

[both grunt]

[blades clash]

-[chuckles] -[grunts]

[blades clash]

Now it's time for the big finish.

Dino Knight strike, activate!

Hah!

Good. There's something I'm gonna try.

Fury unleashed!

Here we go.

[wind whooshes]

[grunts]

Nice dodge with the limbo.

But can you do it again?

[energy buzzes]

Huh?

It's not working. I need more energy.

-I can't do the att*ck twice. -Really?

Well, then,…

now for my finisher.

[both grunt]

[exclaims]

[grunts]

[groans]

Oh, man. Nice job.

-You good? -[chuckles] I'm great,

cos I think we found the weak spot.

You should have seen this guy, Solon.

It really was like fighting against myself.

Do you think it helped?

Tell her.

The Dino Knight Strike,

it takes so much energy that it needs time to recharge.

Which could give me just enough time to hit Void King

before he can hit back.

Thanks, Javi. You really make a great Knight.

I'm happy I could help.

[sighs] But I really gotta get back to songwriting.

Hopefully I can come up with something soon.

Maybe your new strategy could help you too.

Huh.

That's not a bad thought.

[alarm blares]

I have a sneaking suspicion I know what that's about.

Yep. Void King's at the stadium again.

I'll go. Alone.

-What about the team? -They're still recovering.

If they face Void King now, it'll be bad.

Besides, I've got my new strategy.

Well, all right.

Good luck, my friend.

[suspenseful music]

-[energy zaps] -[sighs]

-[people scream] - love it!

Your screams are a symphony of fear for my ears.

[energy zaps]

Oh, look my favorite coward!

It'll be fun watching you run away again.

We'll see who runs away.

Link to Morphin Grid!

[grunts]

Dino Knight Key,…

ready!

Hah!

[energy whooshes]

Dino Knight Strike, activate!

Void Fury unleashed!

Hope this works.

[both grunt]

[intense music]

Argh!

[growls, pants]

[grunts]

Dino Knight strike, activate!

[energy whooshes]

One taste of defeat, and now you're a glutton for it!

Dino Knight Strike, activate.

-What? -My turn!

Fury unleashed!

-Argh! -[sparks zap]

[grunts]

-Argh! -[sparks zap]

-Wait for it. -[boom!]

Argh!

Get your own moves, pal.

Oh, I'll be back, with all new att*cks.

And I'll b*at you, again.

-[growls] -[energy zaps]

Rise and shine, sleepy heads.

There's hot cocoa in the kitchen.

Also, some of you really snore.

How… How many years was I out this time?

Relax. It's only been a few hours.

-It pays to check. -[chuckles]

-[energy zaps] -Whoa.

Did you just lose a fight with a dumpster?

No, I just won a fight, against Void King.

For real?

Going out there alone was super risky.

-I wish you would've told me. -Next time I will.

-So, our strategy worked, then? -Sure did.

Thanks. That copycat learned his lesson.

I owe you big time, Javi.

I'm glad you said that, cos I've come up with a new strategy

of my own for the contest.

I'm gonna need an assistant.

What do you have in mind?

[bluesy harmonica music plays]

Dad, over here.

[cheering, applause]

-[chuckles] -Did I make it in time?

Yeah, Javi's just about to start.

Did he tell you what he's doing?

Only that it will 'blow my mind'. [chuckles]

After two days of incredible performances,

give it up for our final competitor, Javi García!

[cheering, applause]

-Yeah! -Go, Javi!

Let's go, Javi!

Thanks.
