"Revenge of Zen-Aku" May the Fourth, Two-Thousand and Two Written by Suxi Shimoyama Directed by Taro Sakamoto
We're at the big turtle, with Alyssa sitting in-front of a fire and looking sad. The camera moves to Max, who's looking in the dumps too, then Taylor who looks like she's thinking about something, and Danny who stands up and looks as if he's going to get some marshmellows for a campfire. Princess Shayla then speaks and says she's never seen them like that. Alyssa, in a kid-like whiny voice, says that they let Zen-Aku beat them and that he has more of their crystals (well whose fault was that?). Cole says to not be discouraged and that they'll get them back (how, when Zen-Aku holds them out, are they just gonna grab them right away?). Max asks how can they get them back (follow what I just said). He also adds the fact that Zen-Aku has seven animal crystals while the rangers have six (and whose fault was that?). Cole says that doesn't matter (actually it does, since Zen-Aku's original three dark wild zords easily defeated the rangers' zords, imagine the power four more "Dark" wild zords can do to Zen-aku's power). He says that the only thing that matters is they stick together (yeah when they get crushed). Cole then adds that they'll find a way. Danny goes over to Max, gives a hand on the shoulder, and tells him to remember what he taught him. Max says "Never give up", which he says in a tone as if he's told Danny that a million times. Danny then tries to play the role of motivational speaker and asks the rangers what are they going to about. Max looks at Alyssa, Alyssa looks back. Max then has an idea and says he's right and to get their crystals back. Alyssa stands up and the other rangers follow Alyssa's action. We see a full moon, and then Zen-Aku sleeping in what looks like a tent (with how bad Zen-Aku is, I'm surprised he didn't get a hotel room, I'm sure he could have stayed for free). He's dreaming, and remembers to when the five rangers "destroyed" him 3000 years ago. When he's burned in the fire, he wakes up. Then, one of his relatives, a wolf of course (but on four legs) goes into his tent and begins sniffing around. Zen-Aku picks it up (sheesh, I'm sure he can get a better meal than that) and asks himself why does the wolf look so familiar to him. He picks up the wolf, and another flashback appears. The wolf is being held by human hands and is splashing in the water. Zen-Aku then just stares into space. Now we see the rangers who appear determined to lose another crystal (Cole's gorilla zord) although they are trying to get them back. They go to a cliff where Cole tells the viewing audience that they are in the place where they first met Zen-Aku that dark and scary night and he has to be their somewhere. We're with Master Org in his evil palace, and says that Zen-Aku is becoming very powerful as he walks towards Nayzor. Nayzor adds that he is also close to destroying the rangers. Master Org says that Zen-aku must not remember (about what?). Nayzor claims he has an idea on how to handle it. We're back with the rangers, who are still looking for Zen-Aku but for once, now shouting out his name (probably the smartest thing they've done all series). Cole says to come on and to keep their eyes open. The other rangers don't follow his advice as Cole says to look out, as they're blasted. It doesn't look like a Zen-Aku attack, since we see part of a staff. It's Toxica, who says that finally, the rangers are all to them and that they will finally defeat them and get the credit they deserve. Instead of going into battle themselves, she sends the Putrids so they can get their butts kicked (Surprisingly, Jindrax failed to say one word during this confrontation). Then, we see a Zen-Aku attack, as a blast is fired but hits Toxica (surprised, thought Zen-aku had better accuracy than that). He screams to stop, and tells Toxica that she cannot destroy the rangers, they are his. He then jumps and hits Cole. Taylor is next in line and gets hit twice. Alyssa is hit, then Max as he gets the hardest hit and is flung back a few yards. Jindrax finally speaks as he tells Zen-Aku that he can't hog all the fun, and points his sword. We hear a "yeah" in the background, but it's actually Taylor who gets in a cheap kick from behind Jindrax's back. Alyssa is now fighting Toxica, and her "grandma" hits her twice. Max and Danny are fighting Putrids successfully. Cole and Zen-Aku are fighting in a warehouse (how did they get all the way from the woods to there?). Zen-Aku uses his Crescent Blade and swings it at Cole and misses his head by a few seconds as Cole ducks. He swings it again and misses, swings it again and Cole blocks it with his Crystal Sabre, swings his Crystal Sabre. Zen-aku catches his arm, and overpowers him, and then growls at him. He says he's waited 3000 years for his revenge. Cole says he feels sorry for someone who knows only anger (why didn't he say "What are you talking about?"). Zen-Aku says he'll show Cole anger and pushes him into some fences and boxes. Cole rolls to his right. Then Cole gets hit three times by Zen-Aku's Crescent Blade. Cole is on the ground, and Zen-Aku goes for one more hit but the Golden Eagle Sword is blocking the blade and Taylor says "Not this time". Zen-aku is surprised, and Taylor gets Zen-Aku to roll over but prior to that, missed her high kick. Taylor tells Cole that now is their chance. Taylor uses Soaring Darts. The darts prove effective as Zen-Aku is unable to block them. Taylor and Cole jump use their special weapon (Golden Eagle Sword and Lion Fang) and sucessful hit Zen-Aku in consecutive hits. Zen-Aku is flung out of the warehouse, into a grassy area. Cole says to finish it, and Cole gets his Lion Blaster. Then, a wolf comes running and barks, as it comes to Zen-Aku. Zen-Aku tells it to stay away. Cole is confused (Zen-Aku, quick, throw a stick!). We see Max flying in, butt first (bad timing Max). Zen-Aku looks up, and it's Toxica. She fires her staff at Max, he rolls out of the way (what happened to Alyssa?). The blast lands in front of Zen-Aku, but Zen-Aku saw something wrong. It's the wolf, and he gets out of the way. Zen-Aku then goes immediately for Toxica and swings his Crescent Blade and knocks Toxica's staff out of her hands. She falls down, as Cole uses his Lion Blaster in gatling mode. Direct hit, and Zen-Aku falls down (what's going on? Zen-aku was unstoppable a few episodes ago). Instead of helping their fellow villian, Jindrax says how dare Zen-Aku attack them and he'll pay for this, and run off. Zen-Aku jumps, grabs the wolf, and runs off saying he won't let "them" harm the wolf. Cole tells Zen-Aku to wait. We're in a cave, where Zen-Aku has just attended to the wolf, bandaging his leg. He calls him "friend", and says that he was lucky that time. The wolf is sniffing the straw beneath his legs. Zen-Aku asks what's the matter, that he doesn't want to go. Then Zen-Aku asks if he has any friends. He says he doesn't either,and makes a fire. Another flashback, with a zoomed out view in slow-mo with guys in white slowly fighting guys in black. We're back with Zen-Aku as he thinks, and says "Friends". Now we revisit the flashback as we see one white dress fighting several black dresses and winning, as he's hitting a few. Then, we see a megazord, probably the Wild Force megazord, but with horns like the Defender Torozord. It has a sword too. Zen-Aku asks what was that (the megazord). He asks himself why is he having those memories. It's daytime now (wait a minute, it was dark in the beginning of the episode, then when the rangers got to the place where they first met Zen-Aku, it was daytime! either they went to sleep or they took a long walk to the spot) as we see Danny leaning on a table, asking the rangers why did Zen-Aku all-of-a-sudden turn on Jindrax and Toxica. Max asks "What was up with that dog?" (it was a wolf you goof, kid). Cole thinks, as we see some lovely fruit on the table, and stands up. Alyssa asks Cole "What is it?". Cole says that the "pup", is half-dog half-wolf (ok so I was wrong, sorry Max). Danny asks how does he know (yeah, maybe I wasn't wrong). Cole says he saw it 10 days ago (well 10 days ago was the 24th and that was Wednesday, oh wait Power Rangers doesn't use standard Earth time). It was during the new moon, he was out walking, then looked at the lake (it was dark, he's an idiot, he went out when it was dark in an area where the rangers usually fight and just walked around! What an idiot!). He says he then saw a guy with his shirt off, bathing the pup. Cole says he didn't see the guy's face, but got close enough to see that the pup was half-wolf (how is it half-wolf?). Cole says it was the same pup that ran to Zen-Aku (he's probably the last one to know that). He's sure of it. Taylor looks as if she doesn't believe it. Princess Shayla just rolls her eyes. We're with Zen-Aku standing in-front of the lake, whose new "friend" "pup" is standing next to him, in-front of the full moon (don't they have anything better to do, like get revenge on the rangers?). Zen-Aku tells his friend that it's time for him to leave, and points his blade as the pup runs. He tells him to don't come back as the pup just barks and runs. Zen-Aku says he's sorry but the path of him is to walk alone. He thinks it's his destiny to remail friendless. We see Zen-Aku walking on top of a hill. He says it's time, and pulls out his blade or thing with three holes in it. He calls for the Dark Wild Zords to arise, and plays yet what I think, is another freakin tune! The wolf, alligator, and street shark form the Predazord. He then teleports into a blob. It's daytime now as Cole says that they're too late (they had all night, how could they be late?). Zen-Aku is in his cockpit, and tells his Dark Wild Zords to combine, although they already did. Actually just one more step as the head pops up. Cole says they need the Wild Force Megazord. The zords come down, and combine. The Soul Bird baby comes out and it enters the megazord with the rangers. The huge staff on the Predazord hits the Wild Force Megazord and knocks the megazord down. The rangers fall out of their seats, and Cole says they have to get up (obviously). From cockpit to cockpit, we see three stolen animal crystals, then Zen-Aku says he will take great pleasure in seeing the rangers get destroyed by their own zords. Zen-Aku then calls the Dark Bear Zords. Taylor sees the two bears running and Taylor tells them not to do it. Makes no difference, as Zen-Aku tells them to attach. They leap, Taylor tells them not to listen to Zen-Aku, but it makes no difference. They become the new arms of the Predazord. Zen-Aku says he will use the rangers' zords to destroy them. The Predazord has some new, good looking arms. Taylor is getting annoying as she's still trying to get the bear zords to stop. Zen-Aku uses the Bear Blasters and does the hand motion like the rangers used in the original megazord (or maybe Zeo Ultrazord, I forget). The attack hits the Wild Force Megazord. The Wild Force Megazord is leaning on its left arm (Tiger). Zen-Aku's Predazord walks towards the fallen megazord and murmurs "goodbye". He's about to punch the megazord until some yellow lightning thunders from above. Zen-Aku seems frieghtened as we see some black waves or something. Both megazords are moving as if they're confused. Then, we see another megazord appear, the one Zen-Aku saw in his flashback. Danny tells everyone if they see that (he sounds like Carlos for some odd reason...). Zen-Aku says "You again?", then another flashback flashes as we see the guy in white again hitting some guys in black with his sword. We see the megazord again in the dreamy background (how does this relate?). Zen-Aku asks what does he want with him. The megazord is glowing and tells him to remember (to Zen-Aku). Zen-Aku asks what is he supposed to remember. The megazord just says "remember", then goes away (great, that really helps us viewers). Zen-Aku tells it to wait although it is completely gone and the sky is normal. The rangers are confused to what it is. We see Princess Shayla looking at the tron, and she says "Animus" (sounds like Beast Wars to me). We see Master Org, who is probably angry from just watching the megazord, I guess Animus, trying to tell Zen-Aku to remember. He asks where did he come from. Nayzor says he was surprised too, and says he didn't think Animus could return. Jindrax and Toxica for once don't say a word. Master Org says that he hasn't really, yet (???). Then he says the wolf must not get his memory back. He points his finger at Nayzor and tells him to "Make sure of that!". Nayzor clenches his fist and says he will. We're with Zen-Aku on a big rock on a shore, who plays his flute blade and remembers Animus telling him to remember. He stops playing, and asks himself what did Animus mean. Nayzor then out of nowhere says he can answer that. Nayzor says he knows a lot about him and tells him to meet in the forest at dusk and he will tell him (it's almost dusk, it's sunset). Zen-Aku says they'll see. We're with Princess Shayla, who is anxiuosly waiting for the rangers. Then, the rangers come in. Cole speaks for the group and asks about the thing in the sky. Taylor asks that it was a megazord but it spoke. Princess Shayla says it's Animus, ancestor of the Wild Force Megazord. He fought for Animaria 3000 years ago, and wonders why he would speak to Zen-Aku, when he usually only spoke to the six warriors. The rangers turn they're heads and ask about six warriors (well duh, can't they figure it out? the rangers seem to realize things that are obvious really late). We're in a stadium, and a soccer game is being played (hey, it's almost World Cup time, why not?). It seems to be little kids playing. The stands are empty, until we go to another view and see Toxica and Jindrax. Jindrax says that he thought the org was supposed to meet them their. Toxica says that they're undependable. Jindrax asks when the org arrives, what is their game plan. Toxica says that since the rangers are missing some of their crystals, it should be easy to destroy them and adds that she'll be next in line for a promotion. We see a guy mowing the lawn (during a game? You never see that in the pros) and kids behind him trying to get the ball. Jindrax says all he sees are a bunch of kids and a stupid lawn mower. We see a kid kick the ball into the net for a goal (the ball was kicked pretty far out, and pretty high too as the goalie, wearing a regular player shirt #9, was too short to block it). The kid celebrates as do his teammates. The guy riding the lawnmower gets off and wipes his face and suddenly turns into an org (he has mantis like arms and says "Chop chop chop". Jindrax spots him from the cheap seats. The Org tells the kids their rotten and to clear out and that they're ruining his beautiful lawn. The kids are frieghtened and run but one kid stays behind and kicks a ball right at the org. The Org asks what brat did that to him. Then the org spots the Power Rangers. Jindrax and Toxica join Lawn Mower Org as Jindrax welcomes the rangers to his "Lawn Party". Toxica says perfect for no reason and says she'll take red and white. Jindrax says she can have anybody she wants but he'll take yellow and blue (poor Danny gets the mean machine). The rangers are off but Danny stays behind and wonders why didn't he get picked (being strong, I guess Jindrax and Toxica are afraid of him, funny stuff). Lawn Mower says something I couldn't understand (I think "They've saved the best for me"). Danny then says that he better brace himself for the Iron Bison. Danny prepares to charge like he's at a track meet, and tears up the grass. Lawn Mower Org is worried about his grass and tells Danny that he's tearing up his lawn. Danny apologizes and says he'll put it back, as he takes the turf and covers the mud with it. Danny then asks himself why is he apologizing to an org. He then gets his Black Bison Axe and charges at Lawn Mower Org. Lawn Mower Org senses this and tells him to stop because his boots are destroying his grass (what a picky guy). Danny actually stopped. Lawn Mower Org asks Danny to take them off and swings at Danny but he blocks it and says "I don't think so". Lawn Mower Org misses a swing as Danny ducks, then grabs one of Lawn Mower Org's arms, and roundhouse kicks him to the ground. Danny asks the org if he gives up but at the same time gets hit by one of the org's blades (or sickle for that matter). Danny rolls to the ground as Lawn Mower Org goes into I guess lawn mower org and tells Danny that he's going to cut him loose as he motors ahead. We're with Max now fighting Jindrax and hits him, as does Alyssa with Toxica with their special weapons, then go to Danny and drag him on the ground away from Lawn Mower Org just as he was going to cut Danny up. Lawn Mower Org is then hit by Cole and Taylor with their Crystal Sabres. They both hit him one more time as he is driven backwards, and cries for his lawn. Toxica says to not care for the lawn, she says that the rangers are there to destroy. Cole gets his Lion Blaster again and fires it, but instead, they are hit with 5 sickles, an attack not from either three orgs. It's Zen-Aku, who looks like Magna Defender sort of as he carries his Crescent Blade the same way Magna Defender did, and with the cape and black look. Toxica asks what is Zen-Aku doing there. Jindrax says interfering as usual, and points out that they had them right where they wanted them. Zen-Aku then prepares for battle as does Cole, and then Lawn Mower Org tells Zen-Aku to move over and that he's on his turf. Zen-Aku says that this is his battle. Lawn Mower is being stubborn, as he says that this is his turf (why don't they just compromise, move to the track!). Zen-Aku hits Lawn Mower Org with his Crescent Blade. Lawn Mower Org blows up (the only way to keep the grass low is now gone, I guess Zen-Aku can use his Crescent blade and just run up and down the field, swinging it as he goes...). Toxica is upset, and asks Zen-Aku what is he doing. Jindrax says that was a fellow org. Zen-Aku asked himself what did he do that for, and later says that something inside him forced him. He then walks off, but Cole tells him to stop. Taylor asks him why did he attack Lawn Mower Org. Zen-Aku tells the rangers to not misunderstand and that he was not helping them. Zen-Aku finally walks off with no rangers telling him to stop. We're with Zen-Aku now as he's in the forest staring at something and asks himself if he is an org, then why did he attack someone for his own kind (it's called "Org" nature). He says it makes no sense. Then, out of nowhere, a fat ninja, Nayzor (actually he's not a ninja) throws one of his sickles so slowly, Zen-Aku had time to react and jump and knock it down using his Crescent Blade. He's now face to face with Nayzor and says he's had enough of playing games and asks Nayzor what he knows. Nayzor tells Zen-Aku not to get angry and that he's come there for that very purpose. He says he will tell Zen-Aku everything. Zen-Aku pushes Nayzor and tells him to begin. Nayzor holds a black tea pot I think. Zen-Aku asks what is it, then Jindrax and Toxica quickly run and then hold Zen-Aku. He asks what are they doing. Nayzor says that there are some things in the world he does not need to remember and he will make sure he doesn't. He then opens the tea pot and a fly flies out (looks be dirty secrets to me). It enters Zen-Aku's head and appears to dazzle him. He holds his head, and it makes him go bizzerk. We're with the rangers and the princess now, as Princess Shayla is just staring into space (actually not but you know what I mean). Alyssa says she doesn't understand about Zen-Aku controlling zords and goes on to say that orgs should be able to do that. Max says there's something really strange about him, and that he tried to protect the wolf cub (he did you goof). The last thing he says is that orgs don't have a heart. Princess Shayla is still staring at something as Cole asks what she thinks. The Princess says she saw him bleeding. Cole asks if she's sure as we see a flashback and Zen-Aku's hand cut. Danny asks when did that happen. She says it was the other day when they were fighting. Danny says that orgs don't bleed as he's leaning on the table again (I thought ooze came out of them when they were destroyed). Taylor thinks that he's human. Princess Shayla is acting as if she knows it's true but is denying it. We see Zen-Aku, looking at Turtle Cove, then jumps to an outdoor restaurant with people eating, and cuts an umbrella that was shading a table (while you're at it, why don't you cut to commercial so I can get a break?). The people run, then Cole runs to where he is. Cole tells him to wait a second. Now we have a zoomed out picture as the rangers are spread apart on the wide steps. Cole says they came there to talk, not to fight. Taylor says they know he's not an org. Danny says it's true, and that he's human. Zen-Aku flashes back to the white robe clip shown for the 3rd time today. Then, he gets a headache from the fly inside his head as the buzzing causes him to take a knee. Cole asks "What's happening?". Zen-Aku says he's had enough of their lies and says he's an org and nothing like them. Alyssa says that's not true and that he has to believe them (they don't realize that he's been brainwashed, maybe the rangers should get a TV and tune in to Fox Kids at 8:30 and watch the show to get some information). Zen-Aku says he believes what he always has and says that the rangers are his enemies and teleports and hits Cole 10 times while a blob and then grabs Cole with one hand and throws him to the brick ground. Zen-Aku uses his Crescent Blade attack. Cole says they don't have to do this and gets his Lion Blaster. They fire at each other, both getting hit. Zen-Aku says that humans are weak and says that he is not. Princess Shayla says "Is it possible?". We're with Taylor and Max, who fight with their Crystal Sabres but end up getting hit. Alyssa is next, then Danny. Cole and Zen-Aku now are at a deadlock, as Cole is saying that he (Zen-Aku) has to believe them, he's not what he thinks he is. Zen-Aku says he will never believe a ranger, then gets out of the hold and hits Cole. The rangers are together again but get Crescent Waved from Zen-Aku. The rangers hit the ground, with the camera focusing on Danny (maybe he's going to defeat Zen-Aku). Danny is going to be beaten, but Max jumps in Zen-Aku's way and gets hit on his shoulder. He's holding Zen-Aku's blade on his shoulder. Zen-Aku tells Max to step-aside and that if he's trying to protect his friend, he'll be destroyed as well. Max says he'll take that chance for his best friend and he's not moving. Zen-Aku says then he'll destroy them both and swats Max out of the way. Zen-Aku says that two rangers down will make his task that much easier. Then, out of nowhere, the yellow lightning and black waves appear and force Zen-Aku to stop his task at hand. Cole realizes that it's "him" again (being Animus). Animus is in the sky again, telling Zen-Aku to "remember". He then says a new phrase with the word remember: "You must, remember". Zen-Aku asks who is he. Animus (introducing himself to Zen-Aku), says he's Animus, lord of the Wild Zords. The rangers seem amazed, although they should already know this from Princess Shayla (don't they ever listen?). Zen-Aku asks Animus, "Then who am I?". The fly still flies in Zen-Aku's head, as he now remembers who he is, Zen-Aku, the Duke Org (guess he thinks he just demoted Jindrax and Toxica). Animus then says "remember" and goes away (isn't he going to do something? if he's the lord of the Wild Zords, why doesn't he get back the animal crystals Zen-Aku has? And why don't the rangers sneak by Zen-Aku and grab the animal crystals if he has them on him? Wasn't that their purpose in the first place? He's still evil and crazy you know). The rangers realize he disappeared again. Zen-Aku then just walks away. |
