Episode 1
"Prelude to a Storm"
February the Fifteenth, Two-Thousand and Three
Written by Douglas Sloan
Directed by Koichi Sakamoto

The FIRST Power Ranger episode produced by Village Productions hits the air! We see Tori, getting some surfing in. We then get a shot of Tori from below the water's surface (Shark?). A wave comes in and basically covers Tori, but it doesn't knock her off of her surf board. Tori now jogs along the sand as she brushes her hair with her hand. She's wearing a pretty nice two-piece blue swimsuit. We hear a continuous beeping sound as Tori goes through her bag and gets some sort of wrist communicator or watch. Tori puts the object on her hand, pushes a button, and the beeping noise goes away. Tori brushes her hair once again as she picks up her bag and heads for her van (looks like a van from the 80's). She picks up her big surfboard and places it in the back.

We see some feet on a skateboard. It's Shane, as he skates up on a ramp and does two flips in mid-air. The crowd at this skate park cheers. Shane skates down a ramp, and then jumps to the ground. He then does a kick stand and tilts the board on one side to stop his momentum. Smoke appears from Shane's board. Shane kick-steps one side of the board in the air so he can catch it (to look cool). Some dude slaps Shane on the back and tells him that what he did was awesome. Shane slaps hands with the guy and says something like it was one day in the backfield. The guy asks Shane if he wants to hit that new rail. Shane looks at his watch on his left wrist and says he has class in a nervous way, then unstraps his helmet. The guy says, "Class" (like he's ever been there). Shane tells the guy, "Never mind man, I'll catch you later bro".

We see a dirt bike fly in the air. This should be Dustin. He's in mid-air, and only Dustin's hands and feet out of his entire body is touching the bike. He's grabbing the hands of the bike, while his back is stretched out. He immediately gets back to sitting as he lands on the ground. He rides his bike past a fellow dirt biker, and then rides up a mound and steers the bike sideways to stop. He turns the handle bar again as dirt flies everywhere from his bike's wheels, and then crosses a finish line where a girl is presumably timing his course run. The girl says "not bad" as she pushes the button. A 'beep' sounds (the girl looks like WWE's Lita). The girl walks up to Dustin to tell him that his lap time is two seconds off. Dustin points his helmet in a direction and blames it on a hill when he rides his bike up on it. He asks the girl what the time is and then proceeds on looking at her watch as the girl says, "Five after". He grabs his head and says he is so busted. The girl holds onto Dustin's bike as he asks where is he going. He yells to her that he will call her later and that he has to go.

We're on a road, where we see Tori's van, and two weird white structures. Tori is talking and asking herself, "Where are they?". Tori looks out her driver window, and tells herself, "Come on" (Tori sure dried herself pretty quickly). Shane drops in as he skateboards (wow, Shane didn't RUN to Tori's van? That's a good change for once) to the blue van. He hops the curb in an instant as he catches his skateboard and approaches the van. He hits the door and places his face in-front of the passenger window, and says, "BOO!" (actually sounded like "Bou"). Tori flinches. Shane asks Tori if he missed him. Tori laughs for a tenth-of a second and says, "Dream on". Shane gets in and puts his skateboard in the back. Tori asks Shane about the where-a-bouts of Dustin. Dustin comes running as a flock of birds fly away (probably because he stinks from coming from the dirt roads). Tori says as Dustin joggs, "Last as usual" (well, looks like Dustin will be the goofy one in this group). Tori and Shane look at each-other, and Shane says, "Aw, dude" (probably because he does stink). Dustin opens the sliding door and gets in the back seat. Tori buckles her seat belt as Shane and Dustin slap hands. Dustin then does a forward roll from the back seat to get to the front seat, but his butt lands where his feet should be placed on. We see the bottom of the van, and the license plate is obviously not from the United States. Dustin just gets settled in as Tori is driving the van. She asks the two how can they be late every time (easy, they just do). She then says something about planning something (couldn't understand). Shane then tells Tori, "Maybe because you're the reliable one." Dustin giggles. Tori turns the car, and asks, "What does that mean, the reliable one?" Shane says that in any group, there are different kinds of people. Dustin points out that it's true, and gives an example of the Power Rangers. Tori says "Power Rangers" sarcastically and looks at Dustin (shouldn't she be concentrating on driving? and she's the reliable one?). She says that he has to be kidding (yeah, at times you can't tell if some Power Rangers from past series have had different personalities). Dustin gives an example of one who is the mellow, reflective dude (Carter). Shane then points out to Tori that there's the "risk taker", the adrenaline guy. He shifts the rear view mirror to face him and brushes his hair. Dustin and Shane share a laugh. Dustin says, "Yeah right, and Tori, you're just the logical one." Tori tells the two boys that they have to lay off the comic books and adds in a, "seriously". The van is now in a mountain road, as it is heading into what looks like a forest. Tori repeats, "Power Rangers...Whatever."

The blue van stops on a grass road, near some trees. The three friends get out, and Dustin says the place creeps him out. Shane says he's heard that. Tori says they are so lame. The three walk down into a dark path shaded by trees. We see the three now jump down from a giant tree. Tori urges Dustin to "come on", and Dustin says that he's right here. The three are in an area with a gorgeous waterfall. Shane says "it sure is quiet here." Dustin says, "A little too quiet." The three continue walking when a black shadow passes the three. Shane immediately turns around. The three look around frantically, as Dustin asks, "Did you see that?" Shane looks as if he's thrown up, since the black shadow hits him. Dustin and Tori fall back as the black shadow flashes by. The three lie down in shock as the black flash hits the ground, revealing ten ninjas wearing black and kneeling down, facing the three. The three slowly get up as the ninjas prepare for battle (sheesh, what a welcome for the three). Shane looks to his right and left at Dustin and Tori. Then, the three use their right arm to grab at their far side of their waist, and take off their clothing like flipping a page, revealing their own ninja costume, without the masks, and each having their unique color. The three then prepare for battle. The ninjas charge at the three, yelling a battle cry. Shane shouts out, "Let's go!". The three counter-charge the ninjas. There are actually more than ten ninjas. The battle erupts, as our three heroes are greatly outnumbered. Tori is first, as she runs to a spot away from the ninjas. She leaps to the lake nearby. Instead of falling in though, she's actually running on the water! She miraculously makes little splashes as she runs, but her whole body is above the water's surface. She turns around to see two ninjas flip on the water and do the same thing as she's been doing (running on the water). Tori continues to run, then does something like a mini Zeo-5 Power Kick to stop her momentum. She turns around to see the two ninjas leap in the air. Tori looks up, gasps, and then falls back. She falls forward, then back again, and then splashes into the water. She gets up, hair in front of her right eye.

Dustin does a nice flip which makes two ninjas back off. Dustin does a low sweep kick which isn't even close to touching anyone. He blocks two ninjas' kicks, does a roundhouse which also isn't close to touching anyone. Two ninjas flip away from a smoke line which approaches Dustin. Dustin gasps, then looks to see there's another smoke line coming towards him. Dustin says, "Not good". Two ninjas pop up from the ground and try to grab Dustin but Dustin just spins backwards. A kick from both ninjas that just popped up miss Dustin. They then try a double clothesline but Dustin ducks under their arms like he was doing the limbo (well, he just crouched down). A low kick from one of the ninjas knocks Dustin to the ground. Two ninjas try to hit Dustin on the ground but he moves just in time. Dustin then does some hand motion and puts his hands in a T shape. He throws his hands towards the ground and smoke appears. The ninjas flinch, but look relieved as the smoke clears. We see Dustin, with his body stuck in the ground. He's got wood in his hair, as the ninjas laugh at him.

Shane flips high in the air. Shane sees three ninjas running towards him, and smiles about it (probably because Dustin had it harder with like 8). The three ninjas (not the ones in that movie) stop and do some hand motions. One guy leaps in the air and walks like he was in mid-air. Shane laughs, and brings his arms over his head together. He also makes a T shape with his hands like Dustin did, and leaps in the air. He also runs in mid-air. The two flying ninjas are about to meet. The ninja flies by Shane and gives him a good kick in the back, which makes Shane fall face first into the ground.

We see Dustin, as a ninja pushes him. Dustin replies by saying, "Let go of me man". We also see Shane, who has a black mark under his left eye. His uniform is pretty beat up as well. Tori is also shown, in the dumps, with her hair all curly. Shane doesn't have a happy look on his face. The ninjas fold their arms, looking at our three heroes. A bird then sounds (it appears to sound very similar to the Eagle Zord in Wild Force, the last Power Rangers series). Dustin looks with a hand as a visor to shield from the sun, as he says, "Aw, man" (is the bird going to peck their eyes like in that one Simpsons episode?). The bird flies to the ground, and instantly, it becomes an old man (well, he dresses like one). The old man wields a staff. The three have downed heads as the man stands in-front of them. Dustin looks so down, he stands (hides) behind Shane. Shane grabs Dustin and makes him stand beside him. The old man says, "That's enough for today." The ninjas yell, "Eyuh", as they flash away in the black shadows. The man (Sensei in the opening credits) walks towards the Rangers. Sensei says, "Tori", like he has a voice box or something. He then says the names of Shane and Dustin. Dustin has a piece of straw hanging from his hear. Sensei says that he is very disappointed, and says that he will expect a visit from them so they may discuss their lack of committment to their ninja training. Sensei walks behind them to the lake. The three turns around and give a sigh of relief. Sensei walks on the water, faces the waterfall, and then disappears through a portal. Dustin puts his hands on his hips and tells everyone, "Well that wasn't so bad huh." Shane looks at him, while Tori is still down in the dumps. She then gives a confused look, as Shane goes back to being sad. Shane walks off, then Tori shaking her head. Dustin then follows them, asking, "What? Well it wasn't!" ("That boy's goofier than a pet coon"). The three walk on the water, raise their right hand. A portal transports them to wherever. We see a colorful portal. We then see the portal the three heroes walked through earlier. The three walk towards somewhere Dustin says that they can all blame it on him (how? He had to fight more ninjas than Tori and Shane combined). Tori says, "Don't worry, we will." The three walk up to an area where we see a huge temple like structure. It has three triangles. Near the bottom, we see a green field with ninjas training.

We hear Sensei's voice saying, "You have been students at the Wind Ninja Academy for nearly a year, and yet, you fail to see the importance of punctuality." The three "students" and Sensei walk through a grass path, near the training fields. Sensei says he would suggest to find a way to change that when they return the next day. He continues by saying otherwise, he would have no choice but to exspell. Shane flinches at those words and says, "No, you can't!". Sensei says they all have great potential, and it would be a shame to waste it. Shane puts his head back down. Sensei tells them to go, and that they must have other studies. The three bow to the Sensei and walk by him. We get another shot of the Wind Ninja Academy. We see some Asian dude, wearing a green shirt and glasses, look at the three as they walk by. He walks up to Sensei, shakes his head, and says, "I don't know why you put up with them." Sensei says, "Well then Camron, I suppose that's why I'm the Sensei, and you're the Sensei's son." Camron smirks. We then hear some rumbling, and Sensei immediately turns around and looks at the sky (maybe it's thunder approaching, and it's going to interfere with the training). In the sky, is what looks like a black hole, except it's purple. Camron asks, "What's wrong dad?" (that's Sensei to you). We see the Earth and moon, and some weird spaceship approaching. We see some weird guy, wearing a black mask. He evily laughs (maybe he's going to halt ninja training practice, probably a good thing, because Sensei looks to be training those poor ninjas awfully tough). His name is Lothor.

[Commerical break]

We see some of those off-road bikes they use in Baywatch, in-front of a store called "Storm Chargers". We see that same girl in the store who was keeping time for Dustin's bike ride earlier. In the store, are all kinds of bikes. We also see some skateboards. We go to the back of the shop, to see Dustin repairing something on a table. A big clock is ticking, as Dustin is using a screwdriving on a part. He looks at his watch (finally decided to get one I guess). He grabs a red clock (there must be five on that table). He puts the clock down, revealing to the camera a clothes store with a girl picking out some shirts. Dustin gasps (maybe at the time, or the girl?). We see Tori with two cups, walking. She goes towards Shane who is sitting down, and hands him a cup. Shane is watching a monitor with a video clip of a skateboarder doing some trick. Shane says, "Kick from 50-50, that's what I gotta learn from this video!" (I think he did that same trick earlier in the episode). We see that same red clock from earlier, ring, which makes Dustin flinch. He hits the clock to make it stop. Tori and Shane run to Dustin. Tori says Dustin's name, as does Dustin's companion with the dirt bikes. Dustin's companion asks Dustin as he stops in an off-balance manner, if he's going to leave her to clean up the shop. Dustin replies by saying, "Haven't I told you what a cool boss you are?". He then runs out the door, saying, "Bye Kelly". Kelly (the girl from earlier), has a pretty sad look, then just smiles (maybe she'll fire Dustin).

We hear a voice on the radio, saying, "And these continued atmospheric disturbances has the weather service baffled". We see the blue van riding on the road. We then get a look at the radio (no CD player, just casette, model unknown). The announcer on the radio continues to talk, but Dustin interrupts by asking, "Are we on time?". Tori says, "We're early", rather nervously. The van passes by two old people who have seem to be having car trouble. The two have their hood of their car popped and smoke seems to be coming out. Tori stops and says that they need help. Shane says, "NO WAY", but Tori says they can't just leave them, what if something happens to them? Shane spreads his arms and says if they're late, something will definitely happen to them (yeah, they're gonna get expelled), and it won't involve fun and fabulous prizes. Dustin has the tool box already out. Thunder sounds from the sky, and it seems to be getting cloudy.

We're back at the Wind Ninja Academy, and we see a logo which looks like a lady bug's back. It's basically a red circle with white on it, with four black circles facing apart from each-other. Two big black dots are facing apart from each other, and two half-ovals are on the opposite sides of each other as well. We see some plants, and the Sensei's face. He seems to be meditating. Thunder is sounding. A shadow casts on the Sensei's face, which alarms him. He says, "Low soil" I think. He gets up, and looks at the school. A big purple cloud is on top of the school. Lightning flashes, and five beings appear. Sensei looks at the five. We get individual shots of these beings. There's a green dude with glasses. Another guy who is covered in black, and looks to have no neck, and very high shoulders. One lady with pink hair, who is Kapri. Another lady, with hair like a Las Vegas showgirl, and big blue glasses, whose name is Marah, and Lothor, the guy on the spaceship from earlier. The five stand together (who would have thought that we would have five villians before we would have five Rangers?). Sensei tells the five, "The dark energy is strong in you". Lothor says, "It's had time to grow". Lothor walks forward and says, "It has been awhile." Lothor says, "Armies take time, and now is the time for revenge!" Lothor tells Zurgane to proceed. Zurgane is the guy in black with no neck. He bows to Lothor, and says, "As you wish." Everyone except Lothor flashes off. Sensei looks on. Sensei gets anxious and tells Lothor, "It doesn't have to be this way." Lothor says, "Why would now be any different?" Lothor fires an energy ball with his hand at Sensei, just by swinging his arm. Sensei dives out of the way just in time. The ball hits a rock statue, which breaks the statue in half. The ninjas training near the school see the huge blast (didn't look so big a second ago). All of them gasp, then notice the four beings appearing right in-front of them (maybe they're going to instruct them). Kapri raises her arm, and yells out, "Kelzaks!" 13 (from what I counted) pop up from the ground. They have black suits, with some red lines on them, white wire lines, and have just have a big red blob for their face. Similar to the Putrids from Wild Force, except for the color of their suits. The ninjas do their, "Hyahs", as they prepare for battle. The ninjas and Kelzaks charge into battle. Some cool techno music with a beat serves as the background music. Cool laser beams hit the battlefield and make explosions. One ninja flips across the screen. It's a real slobberknocker, as fighting is everywhere. Two more lasers hit the battlefield. Seems as if the Kelzaks are winning. One Kelzak knees a ninja, and another gets hold of a ninja's arm and laughs in a high-pitched voice.

The hood of the broken car comes down, probably signaling that the car is fixed. The two parties (the people whose car broke down and our three heroes) exchange thank yous and you're welcomes. Dustin tells Shane, "Dude, what if his alarm clock didn't go off and he doesn't even miss us" as they walk to the van. Shane says, "He's a ninja master Dustin. They don't oversleep." Dustin says, "Really?" (why would Sensei go to sleep? and why would Dustin think that Sensei would need an alarm to wake him up? He probably has some routine where he'd wake up if like the sun comes up at a 35 degree angle to some tree.).

We see Lothor run and walk up "air stairs". When he gets high enough, he turns around and fires more laser blasts at Sensei, like he were directing traffic. Sensei just spins out of harm's way. Another blast makes Sensei have to roll to avoid getting hit. Lothor then lands on the ground, making Sensei swing his walking stick at Lothor's legs, but it's not effective. He does a back swing which Lothor ducks. Lothor counters with a kick which Sensei backs off of. A sweep by Sensei on Lothor's legs forces Lothor to jump. Sensei swings his stick but Lothor catches the attack with his right hand. Sensei attempts to use the other side but Lothor grabs that side with his left hand. The two now are in a lockdown. Lothor is the only one growling.

We see the green dude poke some people. Zurgane is kicking some people's butts. Marah looks to be having her way. Kapri points out, "Trash them all", as her voice echos. Zurgane points to "Churro" (Green guy), "NOW!". Churro says, "Good bye Wind Academy". He arches his back, which has a white pack on his back. The pack opens, revealing white bombs which fly out. The white bombs are actually white blobs, as they cover around the ninjas. There are a lot of them. One ninja complains he can't feel a thing. One guys asks where they are. Then, there's lots of screaming, until they fly up in the air. Churro adds, "Up up and away!". The blobs fly into space and into the spaceship that we saw earlier.

Lothor is walking away from the Ninja Academy, now covered in that same blob. Sensei looks up. He fires a ball right at Sensei, at point-blank range. All Sensei can do is prepare for the impact. Before Sensei is hit, the scene goes to the academy.

The school (academy) gets sucked into the sky. Shane, Dustin, and Tori finally arrive on the campus. The wind causes them to halt their forward motion. Dustin asks, "What's going on?". The three have to put an arm over their faces to avoid getting their eyes dried up by the wind. Shane says, "Something's attacking the school!". We see more of the school getting sucked in by the blob. Bits and pieces go up like a tornado would. The three struggle to keep their balance as the school continues to deterioriate. Tori says to look out. The three are then finally knocked off of their feet as the remains of the school go bye-bye. The blob then disappears into the sky, leaving a clear blue sky. The three lie and wonder. Shane immediately sits up and looks as if he's looking straight into a hidden camera.

[commercial break]

The three get up and walk to the edge of a cliff to view where the school once stood. Shane says, "It's gone!". Dustin struggles for words until he says, "Ok I dunno, I'm thinking...earthquake!" Shane sticks his hand out and asks, "When was the last time you heard of an earthquake sucking buildings and people into the sky?" (I was about to say that! Boy that Dustin is goofy, and partially-blind, maybe he should start going to class more often).

On the space ship, we hear Marah's voice say, "Kapri, you said once uncle captured all the ninja schools we'd divide Earth down the middle!". Kapri says, "No, what I said was Earth was under control, you'd get the Arctic Circle and I'd get California." Lothor comes into the room and tells the two to be quiet or he'll banish them back to their parents. He tells Zurgane standing behind him that this is why you don't work with family (seems right about that). The two tell their uncle they're sorry. We see the blobs with the ninjas in them, shouting out stuff. Lothor shoves them away. He proceeds walking and says, "Now, where was I?". Zurgane tells him that it is the final phase to capture Earth. Lothor gets in his chair (doesn't look that comfy for a chair of the head goon) and says, "Of course. Now that the less, the mighty ninja academy has been silenced, the planet is ours." We see Choobo whisper something to Zurgane, which disturbs him (probably Kapri and Marah's parents have sent more children for Lothor to take care of). Zurgane growls and walks towards Lothor. Zurgane tells Lothor, "Sir, there are still three students from the Wind Ninja Academy still unaccounted for." Lothor had been standing up but he sits back down. He rolls his eyes and asks, "Why would I think of anything could be done the first time?" (hey, it's not like he's dealing with three students who are the Power Rangers). He stands up and says, "Generals Zurgane, I want you to make sure the zone is clear, I want nothing left standing, NOTHING!" (even a poor little tree?).

We're at the destruction of the school site (wish that could happen to my school). The three walk through the rubble and Tori asks, "Who would do something like this?" (those people are welcome to do that to my school). We see a flag standing up waving the symbol of the Wind Ninja Academy. Shane asks, "Are we the only students left?". The three look around in disbelief. Some rubble falls. The three immediately take positions. Shane points out, "Who's that?". We see a hand. It's that four-eyes, Camron. The three rush to Camron. Shane is the quickest, and tells everyone to help him out. Camron really didn't need help, but Shane and Tori lend a hand each. Camron coughs a little from all of the dust and debris. Shane asks if he's ok. Camron seems to not be wearing his glasses now, as he says he's fine.

The spaceship above earth fires a blast somewhere. The blast hits a spot near where Camron, Tori, Shane, and Dustin are at. The four immediately though fall down. The four immediately get up and look everywhere to see where the blast came from. The four run again, and a blast lands in the spot where the four were sitting at earlier. Tori screams.

Back on the spaceship, another blast is fired. The blast looks like the one in, "From out of Nowhere Part 2", with the four running past it. Another blast is fired, and the four also run past that blast. The four stop at a point, where Camron kneels to the ground and grabs a chain and opens a ground door. Camron tells them, "This way". He jumps in the door. The others are hesitant, but go in anyway. Actually, there's a stairway. Dustin asks Camron what is the place. Camron tells Dustin to just follow him. Camron brushes his hand on his vest, puts on his glasses, and puts his hand on a rock with an imprint of a hand. The rock glows, and the Wind Ninja Academy symbol is shown, and it appears to be going up like a door. Someone says, "No way", and Tori says, "It's amazing!". We see a room, with ninja style windows, a table where you sit kneeling down, and what looks like a fireplace. Also a neatly lit room. The windows come down automatically. Dustin says, "Dude!". Camron states, "Don't ask any questions because I can't answer them." Shane asks, "What is this, some kind of big secret?". Camron says sarcastically, "Yes Shane, this is some big secret" (I thought he just said couldn't answer any questions). A wooden cart comes driving in, as it's Sensei's voice saying, "There are times when some secrets must be revealed Cam." The cart stops and we see a rat (or mouse) dressed like Sensei standing behind a small tree(maybe it's his messenger). Shane says that the rat sounds like Sensei. Dustin gets a closer looks and says it doesn't really look like him except for the clothes. Camron says his father is not a rat, he's a guiena pig (thought he was a bird?), continuing to go against what he said of, "Don't ask any questions because I can't answer them." Dustin turns around to Shane and Tori and asks, "Dude, did he just explain and I just, whoo, missed it?". Camron holds his arms out and says, "He's stuck". Shane asks, "Stuck?". Sensei says, "Yes Shane. Stuck. Observe". The guiena pig flips to another table, causing Dustin to flip out. He does another flip at the same time a screen pops up. Sensei points out Lothor who appears on the screen. He says Lothor was once a great ninja, he was banished from the Earth when his hunger for power turned him to the dark side (elements from Ninja Turtles and Star Wars, not a bad mix). The clip on the screen showed the battle between Lothor and Sensei when he was still human earlier. Lothor fired a blast and Sensei caught it, but it made him into the guiena pig. Sensei explains when their energy fields collided, he was transformed into what they see before them. He has returned and brought an army that will do anything to take their planet for their own, unless they are stopped. He is interrupted by Dustin. Dustin asks, "Who is gonna be dumb enough to try and stop them?". Sensei says, "An excellent question Dustin. The morphers Cam". Camron speaks back, "FATHER YOU'RE NOT SERIOUS!" (actually says it in a weak man's British accent). Sensei says they have no choice. Camron says, "But these guys I mean them? They're, well, they're.." Tori says, "They're...what" Shane says, "Yeah, I don't like the way that sounded." Shane looks to Dustin asks him his thoughts. Dustin just says, "Actually dude, I'm kinda lost here", and brushes his head. Sensei says, "Now Cam." Camron relunctantly goes over to a wall, gets a pretty nice jewelry box, and brings it to our three students. He opens the box, and tells the three, "These are your Power Ranger Wind Morphers" (available at amazon.com and all fine retaliers). The box amazingly has metal bars holding the cover up. We see the three morphers, which look amazing. Tori just says, "Yeah right" (probably alluding to the fact that the morphers don't have batteries in them like the ones in the stores). Shane just has an open mouth, while Dustin seems to be back on track now as he snaps his fingers and says he was right all along about the Power Rangers being real, as he pats Shane's back and chest. He then helps himself in-getting his morpher, which has a yellow rim around the circle (glad he didn't grab the wrong one). Tori grabs hers, and then says, "Whatever". Shane grabs his slowly (better hurry up, I'm sure Cam's arms are getting tired). He says "no way." Sensei says, "Dustin, child of the Earth, true to your heart, you will embody the powers of the Yellow Wind Ranger". Dustin has his arm across his chest and he's all smiles. Tori does the same with the arm across her chest, as Sensei says, "Tori, fluid and graceful like the water, you will become the Blue Wind Ranger." Shane is next, and does the same arm thing, as Sensei tells him, "Shane, reaching for the stars, you will command the powers of the Red Wind Ranger. From this point on, you will be known as the Wind Power Rangers. Protectors of the Earth" After he says that line, the three new Rangers stand together proudly. Then, a moment of silence breaks out. A bit of confusement enters the room, and Shane rolls his eyes, saying, "So, what exactly does this thing do?" Tori asks, "Where's the switch?" Dustin asks if there are any games. Tori says it doesn't have games. Cam looks on, holding the empty box. He says, "Ladies and gentlemen, defenders of the galaxy." (Sensei just said they were protectors of the Earth). Sensei brings the discussion to a halt as he brings up Lothor's army on the screen. He says Lothor's army is attacking and they must intercept them. Sensei tells them to call on their powers by saying, "Ninja Storm, Ranger Form." The three look confident and nodd.

We see a new monster, with two strings dangling from his head. He has some Kelzaks around him. The monster tells the Kelzaks to keep their eyes open (where exactly are their eyes?). Then, Dustin yells out, "Hey! Looking for us?" Atop a cliff, we see our three new rookie Rangers. The monster says, "It's them!" Shane looks down at the monster and says, "Ok..." He swings out his arm, as Dustin looks on. He says, "Ninja Storm, what is it again?" Dustin tries to help, "Ninja Storm, Ranger Form." Cam is watching in the comfort of a chair looking on at the screen, and shouts out sarcastically, "Ninja Storm, Ranger Form?". The three attempt to do the morphing sequence but they just give up (Dustin actually is the only one who remembered the phrase, a shock to many). They all have their arms in the positions they should be in but they can't remember the four-letter rhyming phrase. Dustin then says, "Dude, watch and learn." He puts his arm in the air, turns his hand in the air, puts his fists together at his waist, then thrusts his arms out. He says the command whlie doing this, "Ninja Storm, Ranger Form, hah!" We see the Wind Morpher. The circular object on the morpher circles around and causes a tornado to surround the screen. Dustin is in this "tornado", and the yellow Ranger suit is put on him. Then his mask, but there's no visor yet. The visor is put on at the end to complete the morphing sequence. Dustin does his pose behind an active volcano, and yells out, "Power of Earth!", with some type of symbol behind him. The first ranger to morph looks on, then brags and says, "Oh yeah baby, yeah! Well, I guess no one's laughing at the comic book guy now are they?" Tori and Shane break out a smile. The other two do the same thing Dustin did. Shane goes through the same morphing process Dustin did, except at the end, his pose is different and takes place in the clouds. Shane says, "Power of Air!" Tori goes through the morphing process, and her pose is standing on water, and says, "Power of Water!" (hope she doesn't fall in). The three do their poses atop the cliff. We see individual shots of the Rangers. The monster simply says, "ATTACK!" The Kelzaks hop in the air, disappearing every tenth of a second as they hop. The Rangers grab their swords behind their back, and say, "Wind Rangers. Ninja Storm" We hear the theme song as the background music. They hold their Ninja Swords, and then flash into the air. Shane walks through the air as all the Kelzaks in his way are parallel to him. He just slashes his sword at the Kelzaks with ease, and says, "All right boys, step aside." (too bad they don't listen to well). Shane does a flip in the air and kicks off a tree, and says, "On the left." Shane strokes his morpher and ninja shooting stars come from the morpher. They hit the Kelzaks pretty hard. Tori has some type of rifle. She says, "And it's also a handy ninja blaster! What's wrong? Never see a girl run in blue spandex walk through the water?" Tori runs above the water and fires her blaster at the Kelzaks. She miraculously doesn't fall. Something underground makes smoke and dirt fly up, as it effects the Kelzaks who are again, standing in a line. When the smoke reaches the end of the Kelzak line, Dustin backflips up. He says, "Yeah, it worked!" The Kelzaks now stand in a crowd. Dustin sticks his Ninja Sword into the ground which creates a streaking line of smoke. All the Kelzaks are hit. Watching the screen in the secret room is Cam, who yells out, "Good job Dustin!" The three now meet the monster.

In his chair, Lothor says, "Power Rangers? Nobody told me there would be Power Rangers."

The Rangers say, "Wind Power Rangers", with each Ranger saying a word each. The monster tells them they are very successful against Kelzaks, but they really didn't think that was all they had to do. He fires some red paper which causes some big explosions and the Rangers to fly across the screen. Shane activates his buckle which activates a hang-glider. He yells to the others to check him out. Shane says, "This is what I call getting some air!" The monster gasps. Tori says, "We've got ya covered!" Dustin says, "On my way!" Shane says, "I'm going in!" Shane is on his hang-glider, approaching the monster. He grabs him and gets the monster off of his feet. The monster pleads for Shane to put him down. Shane says, "You got it." He releases the monster, who says on the way down, "I'm afraid of heights!" He falls down through some leaves eventually hitting the hard ground. The three Rangers fall back to the surface. The monster says, "that's it!", when the Rangers slash him with their Ninja Swords. The monster flies back pretty hard. Shane has a new weapon, and it's a pretty big blaster. Shane calls it, "Hawk Blaster, fired up!" Tori has a megaphone, and she says, "Sonic Fin, sound off!" Dustin has a hammer, and he says, "Lion Hammer, ready to roar!" The monster says, "WOAHH!" Dustin swings his hammer of his head, and says, "Beat this blue dude!" The monster floats up into the air for a short while before coming back down. Another hit by Dustin wields the same results. Tori holds her Sonic Fin. She asks, "Ready for a workout? And one, and two, and work those abs, work it, work it!" The monster looks as if he's riding invisible space rings. He then falls down on Tori's command of, "and down!" Shane asks, "Is it hot in here, or is it just you?" He fires his Hawk Blaster, which is a huge laser blast. The monster is hit hard by it. Dustin then tells everyone to put the weapons together. The background music is once again the Ninja Storm theme song. On a black background, Dustin attaches the Sonic Fin behind the Lion Hammer, then, the Hawk Blaster is attached ot the other side of the Lion Hammer. The handle of the Lion Hammer bends up to attach beneath the Hawk Blaster. Shane holds this new mega weapon, and Tori and Dustin kneel to hold the blaster up from the front. The Rangers call the weapon, "Storm Striker!" The monster claims he's so scared. Dustin asks, "Ready?" Shane shouts out, "Fire!" A trigger is pressed and a big ball of energy comes out. It flashes the entire screen as the monster yells out in pain. Shane says, "Later days", as the other Rangers celebrate. Shane thanks the monster for stopping by. It takes a few explosions.

Cam says, "Yeah!" from his room

Shane's visor comes off, as do the other Rangers, as they look shocked. Shane asks, "That really just happened right?" Tori says she's pretty sure it did. Dustin points out, "Now that, was AWESOME!" Shane and Dustin slap hands and the celebration begins. Tori smiles.

We enter the secret ninja room as Dustin walks in, Ranger suit on, helmet off. He points to Tori and Shane and tells them, "I TOLD you guys, I TOLD YOU there were Power Rangers, and you were like, naw, you called me a little geek it's an urban legend man." Shane claims that wasn't him, it was Tori. Cam can only shake his head. Tori admits it was her, and she tries to say something when Sensei says, "You did well this time Rangers." The Rangers pay attention to Sensei. Sensei says, "But understand that there will be battles in the future. Lothor will not rest until the entire Earth is under his command. Or until he is destroyed, the future is in your hands. Power Rangers." We get a shot of all three Rangers.
