[Opening Credits]

Act One: Scene One: Natalie's Dorm Room

[Marcus couldn't believe that he had morphed right in front of another person. He didn't mean to do it and wasn't even thinking about it. After Marcus had morphed he demorphed again back into his regular clothes. He quickly lifted Natalie off the floor and laid on the couch. Marcus quickly runs into the kitchen and gets a small cup of cold water, while he's still in the kitchen, he sends Arrian a telepathic message]

MARCUS:
**Arrian, this is Marcus, I've got a situation here**

ARRIAN:
**What seems to be the problem?**

MARCUS:
**There's something wrong with my new powers. After I battled with Nephesh's monster they started acting funny and I passed out unmorphed. A girl I met at college found me and helped me to her dorm. I started feeling strange again and for some odd reason I morphed right in front of her**

ARRIAN:
**Oh my Marcus you must have over extended the use of your powers. I told you to be cautious with your new powers. Whatever you do don't let word get out about your location. If Nephesh were to find out he would be quick to attack**

MARCUS:
**I understand I'll handle the situation**

ARRIAN:
**All right, but again I saw, be careful**

MARCUS:
**Don't worry I will** How did I get myself in to this mess.

[Marcus takes the water into the living room, where Natalie had just sat up looking straight at Marcus with disbelief]

MARCUS:
Are you going to be all right?

NATALIE:
I'm going to be just fine. Just as soon as you answer me one question.

[Marcus had a feeling what the question was going to be. He hands her the glass of water and sits on the sofa next to her]

NATALIE:
Do you mean to tell me that you're a Power Ranger?

MARCUS:
If answer this, you must promise not to tell anybody.

NATALIE:
I promise I won't tell anybody else. Your secret is safe with me.

MARCUS:
Yes I am the Gold Fire Storm Ranger, my ranger name Is Blazing Storm. I have been assigned to protect this region of the Earth against a powerful sorcerer named Lord Nephesh.

NATALIE:
I knew when I saw that day at the register building that you weren't going to be like all the other guys that have come and gone through this university. Some how I knew you were going to be different. Just never expect it to be this different.

MARCUS:
I didn't mean for you to see that. My powers are some how acting up on me at the moment.

[Suddenly Marcus felt another sharp pain in the side of his head. Natalie quickly motioned him to lay down on the sofa]

NATALIE:
It doesn't seem like you're be able to go anywhere in the condition you're now. Why don't you rest here in my dorm until you're able to leave. As I said my boyfriend won't be coming back till tonight and I don't have any classes to attend today.

MARCUS:
I just want to say thanks for what you're doing for me.

NATALIE:
Oh think nothing of it. I'll just chalk it up to repaying the gratitude of when a ranger saved my life.

MARCUS:
You mean you've seen a Power Ranger before.

NATALIE:
Oh yeah, but that was when I was in Junior High. I don't think I would want to bore you with my Junior High story just now. You just rest so your strength can be regained.

[Natalie went into the kitchen and started washing some overnight dishes. Marcus laid back on the sofa and looked at the tv screen where a cartoon was about to come on]


Scene Two: Steelman Complex II

NEPHESH:
Well I see not even my most powerful general was able to defeat that Gold Ranger. I thought too much about brawn and not brain. Now how can I defeat a ranger of immense power?

[Nephesh snapped his finger and turned around with a large grin going across his face]

NEPHESH:
Of course, why didn't I think about it before, If you want to destroy a ranger of immense power, you must first drain him of his power until he's weak then destroy him. I believe I have just the warrior to do that job.

[Nephesh stood from his chair and walked towards the middle of the office and held out his staff. He reopens the portal to the dark dimension that he opened to release Neshar. Soon out steps a being glowing brightly in yellow and light green energy. He had no body features except two yellow glowing eyes and a glowing yellow mouth; his name was Energon. Energon spoke with a dark raspy voice]

ENERGON: (kneeling to one knee)
I am at your command, Lord Nephesh, how may I serve thee

NEPHESH:
Ah Energon, my skillful fighter, my task for you is to search out someone who has great power known as Blazing Storm Gold. From his last battle I have tracked the Gold Ranger to this location. I want you to find him and destroy him. If need be destroy every and anything that stands in your way.

ENERGON:
Yes master.

NEPHESH:
Before you head out on your mission I want to test you abilities out first.

[Nephesh looks out of his window to the ground below and begins spying out someone to be his test model for his monster. Soon Nephesh spots two female teens walking down the side of the steet talking to each other. He began rubbing his hands together]

NEPHESH:
I think I found our two guinea pigs.


Scene Three: Downtown Crystal Lake

[The two teens that Nephesh were talking about were two high school girls who were just returning from the mall. One wore a light green skirt with matching jacket and shoes, she was a Caucasian, and she had straight blonde hair; her name was Heather. The other one was wearing a blue skirt with matching jacket and shoes, she too was a Caucasian, but her hair was brown and curly; her name was Pamela]

HEATHER:
I told James that if he wants to have a serious relationship with me then he needs to be totally up front with me.

PAMELA:
I told you that he maybe trying to sneak around on you.

HEATHER:
I know he better not be, because I will tear that other girl's weave out her head.

PAMELA:
Girl you are too much. Girl I forgot that I have to call Todd.

HEATHER:
What are you calling that dweeb for?

PAMELA:
Don't you remember he's taking us to the concert tonight in his dad's new car?

HEATHER:
That's right. I'm glad you reminded me about that.

[As the two were nearing the corner of the Steelman Complex, a tall man in a black trecnhcoat walked out in front of them. He also wore a long brim hat that hid his face; the only thing that could be seen were two yellow glowing eyes; it was Energon]

ENERGON:
Excuse me girls but either of you like to feel a tremendous rush like nothing you've felt before?

PAMELA:
Listen buddy, we don't do drugs so you can take whatever you're selling somewhere else.

ENERGON:
No, oh no, I'm not talking about drugs. I have a way that will send you on a tremendous high that you won't able to come down.

HEATHER:
Really and how are you going to do that without any drugs?

ENERGON:
Hold out both your hands?

PAMELA:
What are you going to do?

ENERGON:
You will see soon enough and as I told you, you won't be able to come down.

[Reluctantly the two girls reach out their hands towars Energon. He quickly grabbed a bold of them and started draining them of their energy. The girls started feeling very weak and tried to break free from Energon, but they couldn't. Their bodies began glowing bright yellow and forms of their energies surged into Energon's hands. Within minutes the girls fell lifeless to the ground. Energon laughed out loud and looked towards the window of the Steelman Complex building, where Nephesh stood with his arms behind his back. He had a look of pleasure on his face as he watched the girls be drained of their life energies]

COMMERCIALS:



Act Two: Scene One: Natalie's Dorm Room

[Marcus had fallen asleep laying on the sofa watching television. Suddenly there was a loud knock on the door and the rough voice of woman could be heard. Natalie came running out of the kitchen as Marcus slowly sat up]

NATALIE:
Oh no I forgot Mrs. Venecia makes her daily rounds today.

MARCUS:
Who is Mrs. Venecia?

NATALIE:
She's the Dormatory Director and she helps make sure that this stays an all girls dorm. If she comes in here and finds you I will be out on the street without any place to stay.

MARCUS:
What do you want me to do?

NATALIE:
I have an idea, why don't you hide in my bedroom closet. I keep it so junky she may not look in there.

[As Natalie prepared to open the door, Marcus ran into the bedroom and jumped inside the closet, which was just as Natalie described it, which was very junky. When Natalie opened the door a heavy set African American woman, wearing a dark blue sweater, white blouse, blue and green plaid skirt, black heels, and hair short, black and straight, was standing with her clipboard. Natalie pretended that she was very pleased to see her]

NATALIE:
Mrs. Venecia its go good to see you. Do you know I had clearly forgot about you making your rounds today?

MRS. VENECIA:
Save the kiss up for the fraternity boyfriend. I'm here to make sure you girls don't bring your social life into this building. You also know the consequences of what will happen if I should find someone in here that doesn't belong.

NATALIE:
Yes I do Mrs. Venecia, that person and their companion will be terminated from their rooms.

MRS. VENECIA:
Exactly, and just because you're my daughter, don't mean I won't kick you out. If you do don't ever think about heading back home to get your old room back because it's being converted into a nursery for your sister's newborn that's coming next month. Well enough chapping of the gums time folr me to get to work.

[Mrs. Venecia start in the living room and started working her way towards the dining area and the kitchen. Although she was very suspicious about the way the living room sofa looked, she dismissed as needing improvment. She finally made her way into the bedroom after going through the bathroom. She saw the bed was made and that everything was neatly put away. Her final check was the bedroom closet. Natalie knew that if she found Marcus in there that she would be out on the street tomorrow morning. Mrs. Venecia looked around the closet closely and soon closed it the door. This made Natalie very surprised]

MRS. VENECIA:
It seems that you pass inspection once again. Just as long as your straight your living quarters, your dorm will again get high honors for the best looking room in the dorm.

[When she left, Natalie went back into the closet of her bedroom and saw that Marcus had hid himself under a whole bunch of clothes]

NATALIE:
I don't know how you were able to hide yourself but I sure glad that you did.

MARCUS:
That lady is very strict when it comes to having your dorms clean and keeping boys out.

NATALIE:
You don't know the half of what she does around here.


Scene Two: Command Chamber

[Arrian sits at the console typing away on the keypad bringing up different geometric numbers and graphs. She is unsure of what they mean, but she knows it isn't something that's good. The transport portal opened and Adrian and Chris stepped through. Chris wore a gray sweater, blue pants, and black shoes; Adrian wore a black shirt, some black pants, and black Nikes]

ADRIAN:
Arrian we got your message, what's the deal?

ARRIAN:
I've been picking up strange readings coming from Nephesh's building. For some reason it seems like a strong force has been unleashed.

CHRIS:
What do you mean?

ARRIAN:
By my readings from the computer and my enchanted meditation, I've felt like a dimensional doorway has been opened and beings of strong power have been crossing over.

ADRIAN:
You mean something like what Marcus faced on the highway today?

ARRIAN:
Yes, I think he was just the first of Nephesh's true army.

ADRIAN:
If he's now releasing his real army, then who were we fighitng all this time?

ARRIAN:
His created minions, but this army was forged through dark parts of the cosmos.

CHRIS:
What kind of army are we talking about?

ARRIAN:
One that comprises itself of different beings with great power.

CHRIS:
Great, we better step up our game plan if we're going to take down Nephesh.

ARRIAN:
I think I have some bad news rangers.

ADRIAN:
What is that?

ARRIAN:
It seems like Nephesh has released yet another creature from the dimensional doorway. I can sense that this creature is loosed in the region.

CHRIS:
Do you know what kind of creature it is?

ARRIAN: (concentrating her thoughts)
You must be careful with this one. This creature seems to have the ability to drain anyone of their energy with just a touch.

ADRIAN:
So that means when we confront this dude we can't allow him to get his hands on us. Where is this thing now?

ARRIAN:
Oh my gosh!!

ADRIAN:
What is it Arrian, what's going on?

ARRIAN:
The creature is in the Bison State University area and he's getting closer. Marcus is also there and he may be in danger.

CHRIS:
What's Marcus doing up there?

ADRIAN:
Probably decided to take another tour of the campus before starting school, but we've got to get over there and save him.


Scene Three: Bison State University

[Still wearing his trenchcoat disguise, Energon made his way on to the large campus. As he passed a few students he reached out and grabbed their arms and sucked them dry of their life energy. He threw their lifeless bodies to the ground and continued heading towards the girls dorm]

ENERGON:
Somehow I can sense and feel the presence of great power. It must be an indication that the Gold Ranger, that the master told me of, is definately nearby. Once I have him in my grasp, I will drain him of every bit of energy he has.

[Energon closed his eyes and soon felt the energy signal from Marcus' Fire Crystal coming from the girl's dorm. As he walked quickly towards the large building he continued draining the students of their energy]


Scene Four: Natalie's Dorm Room

MARCUS:
Natalie I've got to get home. My uncle is probably strung out with concern worrying about where I am.

NATALIE:
Do you think you're strong enough to make the trip home?

MARCUS:
Oh I am, I've gotten a lot more control over powers now. I want to thank you for helping me in my time of need. If there's anything you want me to do just name it.

NATALIE:
Thanks I'll make sure to keep that in mind.

[Marcus is about to leave when he remembers Mrs. Venecia's daily rounds of the building]

MARCUS:
Isn't there another way out of the building? I almost forgot about that lady's inspection rounds.

NATALIE:
Oh yeah. Well it's a good thing she's going from back to front, you can escape out the back staircase and head out the back door.

MARCUS:
Thanks again Natalie.

NATALIE:
No problem, it was my pleasure.

[Marcus quickly ran down the back halls towards the staircase leading to the back door of the building. Natalie closed the door and started to straighten up her living room. When she started cleaning up around the sofa, she found that he had left his watch on the coffee table]

NATALIE:
I can't believe left this here. Well, he'll probably be back to reclaim it.

[Soon there was a knock on the door. As she turned to go answer it she had a smirk on her face]

NATALIE:
I knew he was going to be back to reclaim what was his.

[When she opened the door, she was surpised to see someone in a trenchcoat, large brim hat, with glowing yellow eyes. Energon stood in front of the doorway with his arms behind his back]

NATALIE:
Sir,bow can I help you today?

ENERGON:
Yes I am in search for someone that you've had in ths room.

NATALIE:
Sir, I don't know what you're talking about.

ENERGON:
Oh but you do for you see I sense that he was here recently.

NATALIE:
I don't know what you're talking about. Now if you'll escuse me I have something to do.

[While closing the door, Energon held his arm out blocking the door. Balling his fist he then back hands her knocking her into the coffee table. She held the side of her face and slowly stood to her feet]

ENERGON: (walking into the room)
Where is the Gold Ranger, you'll tell me know or I will make your life unbearable?

NATALIE:
I said I don't know, now get of my room right now!!

[Energon growled with anger and back handed her again knocking her into the sofa]

ENERGON:
I'm only going to ask you one more time, where is the Gold Ranger?

NATALIE:
I told you I don't know what you're talking about.

ENERGON:
Wrong answer my dear. Now you must pay the high price for defying me.

[Energon walks toward he slowly with his hands stretched out towards her]

COMMERICALS:

[BlueFireStorm]

Act Three: Scene One: Natalie's Dorm Room

[Energon continued making his way towards Natalie, who was knocked on to the sofa by the intruder. As his energy draining hand got closer and closer to her, Marcus came running to the door]

MARCUS: (running into the room)
Hey Natalie I forgot my watch on the table.

NATALIE:
Marcus get away, this guy is after you.

[Energon turned around and saw Marcus standing in the middle of the doorway. He began sensing the incredible power of the Gold ranger]

ENERGON:
So, Gold ranger, we meet for at last. I have been sent to destroy you and drain you of your powers.

MARCUS:
Not in this lifetime or any other time.

[Energon ran to grab Marcus, but he ducked and ran behind him. When Energon turned to attack again, Marcus executed a spinning sidekick knocking Energon out of the room against the wall. He quickly slammed the door and went to help Natalie off the sofa]

MARCUS:
We've got to get you to safety. It's no longer safe here by yourself.

NATALIE:
What do I have to do with it, I'm not a Power Ranger.

MARCUS:
Usually Nephesh's monster don't care. When they are sent to destroy something, they will destroy the target and any and everything around it. Is there another way out of here?

NATALIE:
Yeah there's a fire escape outside my bedroom window.

MARCUS:
We better hurry before he gets a second wind.

[Suddenly the door is blasted open and Energon stands in his true form without his trenchcoat and hat. The glow of his body fills the entire room. Marcus stands before Natalie to sheild her from any attack]

NATALIE:
Marcus what are we going to do?

MARCUS:
You go into the bedroom and wait for me, I'll handle this creep and meet you there so we can escape.

NATALIE:
All right but please be careful, who knows what this thing is capable of doing.

ENERGON:
Ranger you are going to perish for making me angry.

MARCUS:
So what else is new. You say you want my energy, well I'm not going to give it to you.

ENERGON:
Very well then I'll just beat you down and take it.

MARCUS:
Well let's see what you got? BLAZING STORM TRANSFORM!!

[Blazing Storm Gold Transformation]

BLAZING STORM GOLD:
All right big bad and ugly, let's get it on!!

[The two begin engaging each other in battle]


Scene Two: Steelman Complex II

[Nephesh sat in darkness in his office with the window blinds closed. All that could be seen was his bright velvet eyes glowing in the corner of the room]

NEPHESH:
In a matter of moments the energy of the Gold ranger shall belong to me. I shall use it to destroy the other rangers and that accursed Arrian once and for all. With them out of the way I can focus fully on the destruction of the planet.

[Just then a Dark Minion teleported into the office and stood before Nephesh's desk with only his dark green eyes glowing]

DARK MINION:
Master our sources say that two of the Power Rangers were seen riding on their flying vehicles heading straight for Energon's location.

NEPHESH: (banging his fist on the desk)
What!! I can't believe it that nosey little witch must've informed them about Energon. Send a troop fo flying Dark Minions and bring them down and destroy them!!

DARK MINION:
Yes Lord Nephesh your wish is my command.

[The Minion teleports out of the office to carry out Nephesh's commands. Nephesh sat back in his chair with his hands under his chin]

NEPHESH:
There is no way I'm letting those mortals get the best of me this time.


Scene Three: Skies above the Crystal Lake Area

[High in the air, zooming through the atmorphere, Fire Storm Green and Red were racing on their Storm Blazers, trying to reach Bison State campus in time to save Marcus]

FIRE STORM GREEN:
Hey Adrian, do you know where you're going?

FIRE STORM RED:
Yeah, my dad took me up to the campus once to see if I was interested in going next year.

FIRE STORM GREEN:
It just seems like we've riding over these clouds for hours.

FIRE STORM RED:
Stop complaining and enjoy the ride.

[The two raced a little further through the tops of the clouds. Soon Fire Storm Green's Blazer is blaster by an energy blast. He turns and sees about five flying Dark Minions on their trail]

FIRE STORM GREEN:
Hey Adrian, it seems like we've got some company.

FIRE STORM RED:
Huh? Oh great, dead man's troop is after us. They must be trying to stop us from reaching the campus and save Marcus.

FIRE STORM GREEN:
What do you suppose we do?

FIRE STORM RED:
I have an idea. We're going to fly into that large cloud bank up ahead and then split. You create a diversion by letting them chase you, I'll head down to that lake and create a waterspout that'll take them all on a wild ride.

FIRE STORM GREEN:
Sounds like a plan to me.

FIRE STORM RED:
Get ready we're coming up on the cloud bank now.

[The two rangers flew into the large billow of clouds, as did the five Dark Minions. Minutes later the Minions were chasing after Fire Storm Green only through the clouds. Fire Storm Red zoomed straight down towards the large lake. Stopping just a few inches above the water he soon started flying in a complete circle counterclock wise. As he continued racing in a cicle he started picking up speed until all that could be seen was a red blurr. Minutes later a large spinning funnel of water started spinning upwards toward the sky. Meanwhile, Fire Storm Green continued allowing the Minions to chase him as well as fire at him. When he saw the large funnel of the waterspout that Fire Storm Red created, he flew towards the top of it. Just as he crossed over the top of the funnel, the Minions tried to cross also but were sicked into it and sent spinning around and around the large water tornado. The two ranger soon regrouped with each other]

FIRE STORM RED:
That should teach them that they can't handle the Power Rangers on land or in the air.

FIRE STORM GREEN:
You got that right. Next, you be the diversion, I almost got shot out the sky.

FIRE STORM RED:
I can't be the diversion.

FIRE STORM GREEN:
Why is that?

FIRE STORM RED:
Because I'm the leader of the team.

FIRE STORM GREEN:
Yeah right.


Scene Four: Natalie's Dorm Room

[The battle between Blazing Storm Gold and Energon soon became intense. Blazing Storm Gold is thrown across the room through the table in the dining area. Quickly getting up the Gold Ranger sidekicks Energon in his chest and front kicks him in the face knocking him to the floor. Energon flips to his feet and forms two green energy bombs in his hands and fires them at Blazing Storm Gold blasting him in the chest that threw him into the wall. Weakened he slid to the floor on his knees. As he tried to stand back up, Energon gripped his hand on Blazing Storm Gold's left shoulder and began draining his energy and powers. This caused the ranger to cry out in great pain]

ENERGON:
Now you are finished ranger and your power is mine.

BLAZING STORM GOLD:
ARRRRRRGHHHH!!

NATALIE:(grabbing a frying pan)
Get off of him!!

[Natalie swings the frying pan at Energon smacking him up side the head, but he was phased. He turned around and growled at her before punching her across the room and through the glass coffee table in the living room; she laid on the floor motionless. Energon tuirned his attention back to Blazing Storm Gold who was severely weak and drained the remainer of his powers. Soon Blazing Storm Gold demorphed to Marcus again and fell to the floor. Energon wasn't finished with him as he grabbed him by his neck and held him up against the wall. Balding his fist he punched and backhanded Marcus across his face causing blood to trickle down him mouth and finally slammed him to the floor on his back]

ENERGON:
Now to take care of the evidence of me being here.

[Energon walks to the stove and turns the gas all the way. He then grabs Marcus by his feet and drags him into the living and lays him next to Natalie. Standing in the door he fires two balls of energy into the room causing large flames to ignite and spread through an area of the room. He soon walks out of the room and leaves the building. Seconds later Natalie slowly regains conciousness and sees the fire in the room and Marcus knocked out on the floor next to her. She sits up and slowlys shakes him but he doesn't wake up. Noticing that he had a lot of bruises in his face she knew he was badly injured. Setting his head on her lap she continues to try and wake him up]

NATALIE:
Marcus, Marcus come on you've got to wake up!!

[There is no response. She soon sniffs the air and smells the gas from the kitchen. Automatically she begins shaking him to wake up]

NATALIE:
Marcus please wake up. Come on Marcus you've got to wake up or we're going to die.

[Suddenly the ceiling starts falling to the floor. Smoke fils the room making it hard for Natalie to breathe. She holds Marcus' head close to her looks around her as the flames continue to rage]

COMMERCIALS:



Act Four: Scene One: Bison State University

[The entire campus is in an uproar when they notice that part of the girls dorm was on fire. Everyone stood in horror as they watched flames race from floor to floor taking out each room. Some couldn't believe that their home away from home was being destroyed right before their eyes. One of the girls noticed that Natalie was missing]

GIRL:
Has anyone seen Natalie?

GIRL 2:
No not since we all came out here.

GIRL:
Oh no that means she's still inside.

[There was a loud roaring sound coming in the distance. When the girls turned around they saw Fire Storm Red and Green riding on their Storm Blazers in bike mode. Both rangers dismounted from their bikes and walked up to one of the girls that lived in the building]

FIRE STORM GREEN:
Are there any people trapped in that building.

GIRL:
Yes a girl named Natalie Grant. She stays on the third floor.

FIRE STORM RED:
Thanks for your help, we're going to do everything in our power to get her out. For now what we want you all to do is to stand over in the grassy area as far away from this building as you can. We don't want anyone getting harmed.

[While everyone was moving away, the rangers raced to the front of the building and saw that the flames covered the entire building. Rushing in they found the stairs to be useless. They knew the only thing was to use their powers to leap to the third floor ledge. Engulfing their bodies with energy flames, the two leaped up into the air and landed on the third floor. They both went running down the hallways trying to fo find an trace of Natalie. Fire Storm Red started kicking doors in one by one, but he soon reached one that was already blown down. When he looked inside he saw Natalie passed on the floor and Marcus laying next to her]

FIRE STORM RED:
Hey Chris I found Marcus and the girl, Natalie

[Fire Storm Green runs down the halls to help get the two out of the building. Fire Storm Red lifted Marcus on to his shoulders, as Fire Storm Green was about to lift Natalie, she regained conciousness and saw the Green ranger]

NATALIE:
Oh I'm so glad that you came, but you must save your friend the Gold ranger.

FIRE STORM GREEN:
Really, he's in need of help? Do you know where he is?

NATALIE:
Yes, he was lying next to me, his name is Marcus. I think he's badly hurt, he told me not to tell anyone but you're his friends and you already know.

FIRE STORM GREEN:
We certainly do now. Don't worry we have him already.

[The two finally rushed out the building before it collapsed to the ground. Campus medical team had arrived and started giving Natalie and Marcus CPR to help them with their breathing and to tend to Marcus' wounds. While that was being taken cared of Fire Storm Green pulled Fire Storm Red aside]

FIRE STORM GREEN:
There's something I've got to tell you that you're not going to believe.

FIRE STORM RED:
Can't it wait I have to see if my cousin is all right.

FIRE STORM GREEN:
It has to do with your cousin and the Gold ranger.

FIRE STORM RED:
Really? What do those two have to do with each other.

FIRE STORM GREEN:
While I was carrying the girl out she told me that the Gold Ranger is your cousin.

FIRE STORM RED:
She must be mistaken or thought Marcus was the Gold Ranger. That don't make sense, why would she think....

[Fire Storm Red started thinking about it. He soon calculated that the Gold ranger arrived the same day Marcus did. He walked over to where the medic workers were working on Marcus. When he looked at his chest he saw the Fire Crystal hanging around his neck. He couldn't believe that his own cousin was the new Gold Ranger]

FIRE STORM RED: (to himself)
I can't believe it Marcus is the Gold Ranger?

[When Fire Storm Red looked at Marcus' Fire Crystal again, he saw that it was very dim and had no light in it. He quickly takes the crystal from around his neck]

FIRE STORM GREEN:
Adrian, what do you think you're doing?

FIRE STORM RED:
His crystal doesn't look right.

FIRE STORM GREEN:
What do you mean it doesn't look right? What would make you think something's wrong?

FIRE STORM RED:
It doesn't seem like it has any power, like it was sucked dry.

FIRE STORM GREEN:
The monster that Arrian told us about earlier. He must've attacked Marcus and drained his ranger energy.

FIRE STORM RED:
We have to find that creep and get those powers back.

[Both jump back on their Storm Blazers and jet off towards the sky in search of Energon's whereabouts]


Scene Two: Crystal Lake Hydroelectric Dam

[Energon came upon the city's large hydroelectric dam and felt a tremendous amount of energy to drain. As he made his way towards the power generator, he met resistance from the guards. They started firing their guns at him, but the bullets were reduced to nothing when they touched him. Laughing at each of the guards he started fired energy darts at them. When the darts struck the guards they would explode throwing the guards all over the ground. With them out of the way he saw a clear path to the generator that was just inside]

ENERGON:
Humans can be such a pest sometimes. Now all this lovely power shall be mine for the taking.

[Walking into the large room, Energon laid his eyes upon the large round turbine generator. The large machine was steadily turning at a rapid speed creating energy for the people of Crystal Lake. Energon reaches out his hands and starts moving closer and closer to the generator]

ENERGON:
There is nothing that can stand in my way of absorbing the humans precious energy and power.

[Suddenly two energy blasts struck Energon throwing up against the side of the wall. When he got up he saw Fire Storm Green and Red with their hands in Storm Blaster formation]

FIRE STORM GREEN:
You can forget about absorbing any energy out of this dam.

ENERGON:
My more heroes to suck dry, the Gold one was very delicious, but I think I have room enough for dessert.

FIRE STORM RED:
You're not getting your hands on our energy.

ENERGON:
I'll just take them from you by force, just like I did your friend.

FIRE STORM GREEN:
Don't forget do not let him touch you in any way.

FIRE STORM RED:
Gotcha.

ENERGON:
Well let's get this party started!!

[From out of his hands Energon fired two beams of yellow and green pure energy, they blast both rangers throwing them both out of the generator room on to the ground. When the two rangers got to their feet, they saw that their suits were real charred]

FIRE STORM GREEN:
Looks like we're going have a hard time with this one.

FIRE STORM RED:
You better contact Arrian and tell her to send the others.

FIRE STORM GREEN:
You're right, I'm on it right away.


Scene Three: Command Chamber

[Arrian was working on the computer figuring out a new weapon for the rangers to use since finding out that Nephesh had opened his portal to release minions of his real army. On the screen were the different Storm Cannons in each of the ranger's colors. As Arrian typed the on keypad they would come together to form what would be the rangers new massive weapon]

ARRIAN:
My with this the rangers may be able to stand a chance some of Nephesh's goons.

FIRE STORM GREEN:
**Arrian this Chris, we in battle with the energy monster and he's too much for us. We've also found out that Marcus has had his powers drained. We need you to contact the others and have them meet us at the hydro dam**

ARRIAN:
**All right Chris I'm on it** I better hurry before the boys get into some real trouble. **Kelly this is Arrian are there**

KELLY:
**Yes Arrian what's going on?**

ARRIAN:
**Chris and Adrian are battle an energy monster sent by Nephesh to drain the energy of anything it touches. They are in need of you guys at the hydro dam**

KELLY:
**Don't worry Arrian we're on our way right now**

ARRIAN:
**Before you do I need for you guys to stop by the Command Chamber. I have created something that may give you guys an upperhand against this monster**

KELLY:
**We're on the way**


Scene Four: Crystal Lake Hydroelectric Dam

[Fire Storm Red and Green faught fiercely with Energon, even though he was using greater power, having drained Marcus of his ranger energy. Having already knocked Fire Storm Green to the ground, he took his hands and clapped them together and formed a replica of Blazing Storm Gold's Blazing Axe. In one slashing motion with the weapon, Energon release an energy beam that blasted Fire Storm Red across the chest sending him spiraling to the ground; he was slow to get up]

ENERGON:
Face you are defeated and there is no way of defeating me.

FIRE STORM GREEN:
I wouldn't count us out just yet.

FIRE STORM RED:
We're going to do whatever it takes to take you out.

ENERGON:
Not before I take you out first.

FIRE STORM RED:
You know I'm getting real tired of you, let's finish this guy.

[The Red and Green rangers raced toward Energon, who began firing barage of energy missiles at them. Each blast missed them as they made their way further and further towards him. When they got within a few feet of him, they both drew their Storm Sabers a slashed at him. He ducked their attacks and back flipped out of the way]

ENERGON:
I tire with this game it's time to finish you both off.

[Raising both his hands into the air, Energon begins drawing in a large amount of pure energy from the atmosphere. He starts concentrating into a large beam and fires it at both rangers. When they are blasted by the beam of pure energy, they are thrown to the ground and are de-morphed back into their regular clothing. Because Energon use a tremendous amount of energy he finds that he is greatly weakened and can no longer stand on his feet; he collapses to his knees. Chris and Adrian struggle, gruntly, to move off the ground]

ENERGON:
I..told you rangers...that I'm too strong to defeat. Why don't you...just surrender?

ADRIAN:
Never...we'd rather die first.

ENERGON: (standing to his feet)
That can...be greatly arranged.

CHRIS:
Adrian...what are we going to do. If he fires...one more blast it could finish us off for good.

ADRIAN:
I don't know, but we can't give up.

ENERGON:
Say goodbye rangers, you did prove to be a formidible foe.

[Weakly, Energon gathers another large amount of energy into his hands and prepares to blast the two teens. When he raises the energy ball over his head he hurls it towards them, but before it could blast them, another energy ball flies out of no where and deflects it out of the way. Energon couldn't believe what had happened and before he could react to it he too was blasted by an energy blast the knocked him through the air to the ground. Adrian looked up and saw the other rangers with their Storm Cannons armed on their shoulders running to their side]

FIRE STORM BLUE:
Are you guys all right. Arrian gave us the 411 and we got here as soon as we could.

ADRIAN:
We've got to destroy that thing, he's got the Gold ranger's powers

ENERGON:
I'm gonna keep them too.

FIRE STORM PINK:
Not if we have something to say about it.

ENERGON:
It doesn't matter what you say, I guess you don't know that I can absord any kind of energy.

FIRE STORM PINK:
Oh we know all about your absorbing ability, but we have something to counteract that.

ENERGON:
Let's see what your best shot as to offer?

FIRE STORM PINK:
All right rangers let's bring them together.

ADRIAN:
Guys what are you doing?

FIRE STORM YELLOW:
Arrian created a new weapon formation for us. We haven't tested it yet, but what better way to test it then on this goon?

[Fire Storm Blue, Pink, and Yellow, took their Storm Cannons and combined them together. Fire Storm Yellow's on the right, Fire Storm Pink's on the left, and Fire Storm Blue's on the top. The girls stood on the side to hold up the large blaster from the side and Fire Storm Blue stood behind it to pull the trigger]

FIRE STORM PINK, YELLOW, AND BLUE:
TRI-STORM CANNON...FIRE!!!

[Fire Storm Blue pulled the trigger of the massive cannon and fired a spiraling laser blast straight at Energon. When it first struck Energon, he began to start absorbing it into himself, but the rangers continued firing on him. With each passing moment he started getting stronger and stronger as well as bigger and bigger in strength and size]

ENERGON: (dark voice)
I told you I can't be defeated by my own power source.

FIRE STORM YELLOW:
It seems like he's right, it's not even phasing him.

FIRE STORM BLUE:
We can't back away we have to keep going. The plan should start working any moment now.

ENERGON:
What did you hope to accomplish with this stupid ploy of yours. I shall....arrrggh...oh no this can't be.

CHRIS:
What's going on?

ADRIAN:
I see what they're doing.

CHRIS:
Mind explaining it to me cause I haven't the foggiest.

ADRIAN:
Since this guy can absorb energy, then we give him what he wants. Give him so much that he himself can't handle it all.

ENERGON:
Stop...I can't handle all of this energy...it's too much for me to handle.

FIRE STORM BLUE:
Whatever you do don't let up, just keep firing.

[They continued pouring more laser blasts into Energon. His body became so full of absorbed energy that the amount that he absord earlier was being released; including Marcus' Gold Ranger energy. Energon's body soon changed from green and yellow to bright white. With all the energy inside of him he couldn't hold it within and so exploded into a million energy particles]

FIRE STORM PINK:
We did it your guys, thanks to Arrian we defeated another one.

ADRIAN:
Guys you were awesome, it's a good thing you showed up when you did, we were about to give that something to think about.

FIRE STORM YELLOW:
Sure you were and I'm the yellow Easter bunny.

FIRE STORM BLUE:
I don't know about you guys but fighting that energy monster has sapped me of mine. Can we go home now?

ADRIAN:
I'm with Jon on that one.


Scene Five: Steelman Complex II

NEPHESH:
Worthless, incompotent, weak fools, again those rangers slip through my grasp, right along with the chance at capturing the souls of humanity.

[Because of Energon's failure to destroy the rangers, Nephesh was now bringing harsh judgement upon the Dark Minions that served him. He used his staff to blast some itno smoldering ashes and others to ground them from flying]

NEPHESH:
Listen and listen closely, I want those rangers dead!! I want everything and everone they hold dear dead!! If you don't think you have what it takes to do the job then I'll find someone who will. Then I'll come back and finish on you what you couldn't do to them.

[Nephesh turned from the Dark Minions and walked to his office window and looked out upon the city with demonic anger in his eyes and his teeth gritting together]

NEPHESH:
Another of my men destroyed at the hands of those teenagers. That was strike two rangers.

COMMERCIALS:



Act Five: Scene One: Lakeside Medical Center

[In one of the recovery rooms Marcus was getting his clothes on preparing to be checked out. He has a few bandages on his left side and some on the side of his face. As he was putting his blue and gray shirt on, there came a knock on the door]

MARCUS:
You can come in.

[When the door opened, Adrian walked in. He was wearing a blue sweat shirt, with blue and white basketball shorts, and white abd blue Jordans]

ADRIAN:
Hey man I heard you were about to get checked out, is there anything I can help you with?

MARCUS:
Not that I know of, but thanks for asking.

ADRIAN:
No problem, I mean that's what family is there for, to help each other out.

MARCUS:
That's true.

ADRIAN:
I heard that the Power Rangers defeated another monster today. They sure know how to get out of the strangest situations.

MARCUS:
That they do.

ADRIAN:
I mean it must be a great responsibility for you to be the Gold Ranger isn't it?

MARCUS:
Well it does have it's ups and downs, but....

[Just then Marcus realized that Adrian had tricked him into a confrsssion]

ADRIAN:
How long were you going keep it a secret?

MARCUS:
How did you find out?

ADRIAN:
When we went to help you at the college, your friend told Chris. Why the big secret Marcus, why couldn't you just tell us that you were the Gold ranger?

MARCUS:
I didn't know how you would've reacted.

ADRIAN:
If we're going to be a family as well as teammates, we're going to have to learn to trust each other.

MARCUS:
I'm sorry man I shouldn't have kept it from you guys.

ADRIAN:
That's all right man.

MARCUS:
Are we still cool?

ADRIAN:
Like the other side of the pillow.

MARCUS:
Where did you get that corny line from?

ADRIAN:
Some cartoon I was watching the other day. Come on let's go home.

[The two walk out of the hospital side by side of each other. As the view shows them from behind walking out the door, we don't just see two cousins, but we also see two warriors of honor]


CHRIS:

[Three students are trapped in a burning building and are rescued by the Power Rangers]

ARRIANS VOICE:

[Chris sees two Dark Minions enter an abandoned building. He goes to investigate to see what they're up to. He enters the bulding and confronts the Minions, but is caught by suprised by an unsuspecting visitor]

???:
This will teach you not to meddle in other people's business.

[The stranger forms a fireball and hurls straight at Chris. The next scene shows the entire building erupting in a huge explosion destroying everything]

CHRIS:
