"Sing Song" July the Thirteenth, Two-Thousand and Two Written by Directed by Tako Sakamoto
We're at a graveyard, and we see Jindrax and Toxica digging up a grave. Jindrax asks why they want that paticular tombstone they're digging up. Jindrax is shoveling, and Toxica is pulling the tombstone with a rope. She does it, and tells Jindrax that it doesn't matter, all that matters is they bring the tombstone to Master Org before dawn. The tombstone reads: Dr. Viktor Adler. Jindrax asks who he is (as well as the rest of the viewing audience). We zoom in on Master Org's face (not a pretty sight) and we see what is probably a press conference, with people wearing suits that look like they are from the 80's. We see a pretty nice looking lady ask the guy at the podium (presumably Dr. Adler) if she can take a picture of the expedition team for the Turtle Cove Times. We see Master Org before he became ugly, appreantly not too pleased. The lady holding the baby, her husband I presume, and the guy before he became Master Org get together. Master Org stands off to the side though, as the reporter's photographer takes the picture. We see a flash, and we're back to the present, with Master Org holding the picture the very photographer took. Master Org's eyes just sit in his eye sockets, as he stares at something far away. Master Org is sitting as he reads the tombstone that Jindrax and Toxica dug up earlier, and reads the name that was on it (Dr. Victor Adler), and also reads "Respected scientist, and Ecologist, 1948-1982" (I was right or real close about the decade the picture was taken). Jindrax and Toxica are watching Master Org read it, and they laugh. Master Org says that's where they think he is. He chuckles, stands up, and fires stuff from his finger at the tombstone. He yells, "Rise up evil spirits from past Orgs". The block or tombstone charges up, and opens a black hole. Out come 3 orgs, and they all fall into the hole. Three more go in, and the tombstone becomes the head of a new Org. The new Org says he has returned from the beyond. Toxica comments that he has the power of six spirits. Master Org is pleased and gives off an evil laugh. The new Org claims he will destroy the rangers for Master Org. Master Org clenches his fist, and is still laughing, and the other Org decides to laugh. We're at the Temple Ruins on the Animaria. We see Princess Shayla walking, holding her hands, and singing some song. I have no clue what the words are, as she is just humming. Then, we see some trees, a sea that has horns popping up, then we see a green eye glow red. Then, the pool erupts. Princess Shayla tells the rangers that an Org has surfaced. We see the rangers running as she says it, as Taylor tells the princess they're on it. They run, and kaboom! It's like they stepped on a firecracker or something. Only Cole falls though as the other rangers behind him are standing up. He quickly fixes his vest. It's the 6 Orgs in one, and he's saying the rangers have no chance against his mighty power (wow, 6 ORGS! why didn't any past villans think of that). Cole thinks they can stop him. The rangers morph, and somehow Merrick has snuck in the back line. They do the guardians of the earth thing, and slam the ground with their hands. The Org says he is going to destroy them. The rangers charge at the Org, and Cole, Max, and Alyssa take hits. Max takes a hard hit as he bounces of a tree. Merrick attempts to use his Cue Stick against the Org but his rock chest prevents any damage done. Somehow, Merrick's next swing deflects off of the stone and hits himself (first time I've ever seen that in 400 episodes of Power Rangers). Merrick says his sabre didn't even chip him. The Org says his body is pure stone, he can't be destroyed. Cole says he wouldn't be too sure, as we learn that the Org's name is "Tombstone Org" (wonder if he does the Undertaker's Tombstone move). Cole is holding his Lion Blaster, he fires it, presumably cannon mode, and it nails Tombstone Org. He seems kind of "stoned" by it. Cole tells the Org "back to the Earth where you belong". Tombstone Org's one eye shuts, he falls down backwards and sort of blows up. Jindrax tells Toxica to do her thing, and Toxica waves her staff and it spits out seeds, and makes Tombstone Org grow. The rangers call their Wild Zords, and they combine to make the Wild Force Megazord, but with the Wolf and Hammerhead Shark arms. The rangers board the Soul Bird, and it goes into the back of the Wild Force Megazord. Tombstone Org claims their little pets can't hurt him. The megazord uses charged up punches from the Hammerhead Shark, which bounces off Tombstone Org, another from the Hammerhead Shark, bounces off as well. The megazord stumbles back. Tombstone Org tells the rangers when they think they've won, the past Org spirits will bring him back with more power than ever. He slashes his axe several times and it hits the megazord, causing it to fall. Merrick is down below all the action, and says he has to help. Max gets his Crystal Sabre and calls for the Wild Force Megazord to go into spear mode, and calls for his Giraffe to become an arm. It attaches, and Cole calls for the Giraffe Zord to fire, and it does. The spear though is blocked by Tombstone Org with his axe, and hits the megazord with his axe. The megazord stumbles again and the giraffe arm falls down. Then, Tombstone Org sticks his staff in the ground and the entire ground shakes. Merrick stumbles due to the ground shaking. Then, the scene where the monsters grew in the first season of Power Rangers is shown. The megazord stumbles around. Then, something cries in the background. Merrick recognizes it, and wonders if it could be something. He says "Deer Zord!" and he's come to help. We see the green Deer, up top on a cliff. Tombstone Org says the Deer Zord will be destroyed like the others. He fires a fireball, and it's a direct hit as it hits the deer in the neck. The Deer's eyes have gone from red to white, and it charges up its antlers, and fires a ring. The ring wraps around Tombstone Org. Tombstone Org falls to the ground, and his eye shuts. Merrick tells the Deer Zord "good work". The Deer Wild Zord is shown. Cole says a new Wild Zord has come to help them. Taylor notes there is something strange about him. Alyssa sees that he is leaving. Merrick is telling the Deer Zord to wait, but he just leaves. Merrick tells himself that he still hasn't forgiven him. The rangers get the megazord back up, but it still has one arm. Danny says they still have to destroy Tombstone Org. The lion's eyes glow on the chest of the megazord. Cole says that they can't use their zords, because they are all injured (they have like 7 other zords left, including the Kongazord). We see all the zords on the megazord groan. We see Tombstone Org, face first on the floor. Jindrax and Toxica are looking at the magic plate. Jindrax tells Master Org that Tombstone Org has fallen and can't get up. Master Org says not to worry, it's only temporary. He will be fighting again soon. Master Org says that the more Tombstone Org fights, the stronger he gets. He then laughs, and gives an eyebrow. More Fox Box commercials. It's going to "revolutionize" Saturday mornings. We see the rangers walking, and Cole asks Merrick why hasn't he used the deer before. Merrick says he can't discuss it right now. Merrick claims he discuss it right now. He finishes the conversation by saying they'll talk later and he just leaves. The rangers just look. The rangers are now in the temple ruins on the Animarium. Max asks why can't Merrick discuss about the Deer Zord, and says he doesn't get it. Princess Shayla asks if the rangers saw the Deer Zord (wasn't she watching the tron or pool during the whole fight?). Cole says they did, and he came out of nowhere, and chopped the Org to the ground. Princess Shayla tells the rangers that the Tombstone Org will break free soon, and the deer trap only lasts for a little while. Danny's eyes raise and asks the princess if she knows about the Deer Zord. Cole asks if the Deer Zord has always been there. Alyssa asks why hasn't he been there before (well maybe he hasn't been feeling to well in the past 3000 years). Max said Merrick knew about him, but said he didn't know anything. Princess Shayla acts and looks like she knows something about it. She says they both knew about him, a long time ago. She says the Deer Zord has the ability to heal both humans and zords, and capture Org spirits. She says Merrick and her used to sing for him. We get some background music from a harp. Then, a flashback, Merrick is playing a flute, and we see Princess Shayla, singing this time, like in a choir. Pretty good singing. "From your skies, the snow gently falls to the earth, from your trees of bird nests and play, from your oceans that fish school and travel the world, oh nature please don't ever go away", and it ends there. The Princess says that Merrick and her used to sing to him every day and that the Deer Zord loved that song. Danny then asks why did the Deer Zord leave when he saw Merrick (maybe because he didn't play his flute, onto another topic, these rangers ask so many darn questions). The Princess says she thinks that the Deer Zord is mad at Merrick and her, and he doesn't understand why they stopped singing to him (maybe they invented the record player and just played that every morning). We see Merrick running, calling for the Deer Zord. He looks up, but sees nothing and his yelling is getting echoed through the place. He gets his flute, and plays it (surprised there's no wear and tear on that after 3000 years, there's gotta be a few bugs in it). He plays the song, but nothing happens for awhile, but it's sort of a different tune. Merrick then stops, as there's nothing. Merrick yells "Where are you Deer Zord?". Merrick says he's sorry they left him. We see a flashback of Merrick in the Quantron outfit, and he says that there was a big battle. We see two Putrids try to go after Princess Shayla, but Merrick steps in front and fights the two Putrids. He narrates they had no choice. Merrick continues his narration by saying that the Ancient Warriors and he had to protect the Animaria and the princess. He claims there was no time to gather all the Wild Zords together. He says they didn't mean to leave him behind. We get a scene of those Ancient Warriors hold out their Crystal Sabres and raise the Animarium into the sky. He yells out that they hid the Animarium in the sky where the princess slept until their powers were needed again. We're in the present, and Merrick yells out he was in a tomb for 3000 years. He couldn't go and tell him. He says he's sorry. We're with the Princess who is dreaming again. Cole interrupts her thinking, he has a theory that if Merrick and her sing again, maybe the Deer zord will come back. Princess Shayla says that she's afraid things aren't the same anymore. Cole looks so sad. We see the eye on Tombstone Org open again, and the pool in the Temple Ruins erupts. The rangers rush over to the pond. Princess Shayla says that Tombstone Org has broken free. We see Tombstone Org get up from the antlers that trapped him. He throws them down and says their puny little trap can't keep him down. He laughs. Merrick feels a wind in his face. He yells out the Org is coming and to please help. We already see a formed Kongazord (why didn't they finish him earlier?). The Princess now is anxiously watching the battle. The pool then goes out (must need a new cable tv service provider), and it turns gold. It's Animus. Animus says that she and Merrick must sing to appease the Deer Zord, and that the Rangers need him to win the battle (he must be able to tell the future). Princess Shayla says "Yes Animus, I know you're right". We see Merrick, and the Deer Zord! Merrick is happy to see him. We see the Bear Blasters getting charged up on the Kongazord. Tombstone Org blocks it by swinging his staff with his wrist. Taylor says it's not working and that they need the Armadillo Zord. Danny heard her, and puts the Armadillo Zord into his Crystal Sabre. The Armadillo Zord crawls out, rolls up, and the Kongazord kicks the Armadillo but gets stuck to the staff of Tombstone Org. Tombstone Org swings his staff and the Armadillo zord goes flying into the Kongazord. The Kongazord falls onto a building. Tombstone Org laughs. Another Fox Box commerical. Merrick holds out his arms and says he had no choice and to please forgive him. He says he needs his help or his friends will be destroyed. The Deer Zord is not buying into it and leaves, until, Princess Shayla tells him to wait. Merrick turns around and it's the Princess, completely unprotected (a single Putrid would wipe her out). The two look at the Deer Zord as the Deer Zord has a smile for the first time. We see Tombstone Org and he's telling the rangers that they are going to pay for their little deer trap. We see a downed Kongazord still. It turns around. Tombstone Org says that he will show them what it feels like to be in a trap, he's going to put them in a trap forever. Merrick and the Princess look at each-other, and the princess says that this isn't about them, she's here to sing for the deer. They look at each-other in-agreement. Merrick plays the flute, and the background harp plays. The Princess sings a completely different tune from the flashback (just like Zen-Aku). I hurry from my sleep I can't wait to greet you with my song You are every kind of flower every animal I meet You are nature full of grace and majesty From your skies, the snow gently falls to the earth From your trees of bird nests and play From your oceans that fish school and travel the world Oh nature please don't ever go away (repeat first 4 lines) Enter some rabbits, chipmunks, flowers, mountains, trees, the sun, all in the background. COMMENTARY: I really have to give the Princess five stars for that performance, the background kinda messed up during the performance (the birds on the beach thing, you could tell those were three wide shots on top of one another, and then the mountain background when it flickered right to the flowers). An emotional music video is always supposed to fade from one scene to another, not flicker. Also, the zooming in on the Deer Zord with Princess Shayla reflecting in on it was probably not the right thing to do for one of these types of performances. The zooming in on a person's face that is being reflected is usually done on MTV music videos. But nevertheless, I thought Princess Shayla (Ann Marie Crouch) did a heck of a job on this. The Princess stops singing, but the music keeps going, and Merrick yells to the Deer that they need his strength and time is running out (why doesn't he call his Alligator Zord? The beam that comes from his mouth could put a big hole through Tombstone Org). The Deer Zord puts his head up, and roars (if a deer doest that). The Princess is delighted, and she says the Deer will help them. He gives off a green ball and it flies into the Princess's hand, an Animal Crystal. They smile, and Merrick thanks the deer, who roars again. We see a screen split into five, with each original Wild Zord in each section. The rangers are in the cockpit of the Kongazord, still down. Alyssa says the Wild Zords want to help them. Cole says no, they can't leave the Animarium. Alyssa asks why, they need them, Max adds in that they are not strong enough without them. Danny says Max is right. Tombstone Org is standing toe to toe with Kongazord, but it fires a blast from its head, and it makes Tombstone Org go backwards. Kongazord gets its anchor and it wraps around the Org. He can't move. The Kongazord approaches the Org, grabs it, and picks it up in the air. They both go spinning downward, as there is a big explosion, and flying towards us, the rangers and the Wild Zords. Cole claims it worked. We see Tombstone Org telling his spirits no to leave him, but they are started. Alyssa notes that the spirits are escaping. Cole says that if they don't stop them now, they'll return even stronger (guess he heard Master Org from earlier). Taylor says their only hope is for Deer Zord to come and to trap them. Danny says the Deer Zord is their last choice and they don't know how to call him (maybe Cole can sing to him), and asks everyone what are they going to do. We then hear the Deer Zord, and the rangers look up. He's standing atop a building, and his antlers send of red dust (hope it's not the dust from Lost Galaxy, the one that made people sleep) and it goes into the Animarium. The downed Lion Zord is sprinkled with it, and is re-energiized, as are the other Wild Zords. Cole notes what just happened, and Alyssa says "amazing". Merrick calls the rangers, and Merrick tells them the Deer Zord has decided to help them, and tells the Princess to show them. The Princess holds the Deer Crystal in her two cupped hands. We see the deer roar. Princess Shayla holds the Deer crystal in-front of Alyssa, and tells her to use the Deer Zord to capture the spirits from the past Orgs. Alyssa is wowed by the crystals. Alyssa puts the crystal in her Crystal Sabre, and the rangers call their Wild Zords. The Wild Force Megazord forms, and we see the Deer Zord forming into an arm. The Soul Bird is flown and it goes into the megazord. We see the megazord with the Deer arm. The rangers call for clutcher mode. We see the deer arm on the megazord make a big bubble and trap Tombstone Org, and send it off into space. The rangers celebrate. Master Org doesn't. He fires his staff into a wall. Jindrax and Toxica just stand their but the blasts are real close behind them. We see all 6 rangers and the Princess, strolling somewhere with lots of trees. Cole thanks Merrick, and tells him that they couldn't have done it without him (what about the Princess?). Merrick says don't thank him, thank the Princess, she is the one to convince the deer. The Princess says the real one to thank is Animus, she holds her arms out and out of nowhere, appears Animus in the sky. Animus appears bright in the sky. She says that Animus is the one to insist they play for the Deer Zord again. She smiles. Merrick yells in the air, "3000 years ago you were my friend, and you still are" (the group is standing next to a building, I wonder what those people inside if there were any thought of that quote). Max jumps in the air like a kid, to thank him, as do the others. Animus says "You're welcome" in sort of a dark voice. Princess Shayla says that she promised to sing to the Deer Zord every morning after sunrise. She goes over to Merrick and tells him he has to come with her so he can play his flute. Merrick says it's not proper for them, what he was saying is cut off by the princess. She says he has to because she promised, not just to Animus but to the deer. Merrick gives a big sigh. The princess smiles, and the other rangers laugh. Danny puts his two index fingers together. The Princess tells Merrick not to forget to wake up early tommorow (I think Merrick has to work at the bar). The two stare at each-other, as Merrick puts his head down. The Princess strolls down the sidewalk, and Merrick takes a look at her. She's humming the song. Merrick looks. All the rangers laugh at Merrick. So do I. Wonder where Princess Shayla is going to skip to?
