Hostile Rangers

-Angel Grove City Hall, 3:00am
>
(Inside the City Hall a mysterious shadow moves into the darkness. The shadow enters a room full of computers. )

Snipegrand: Here I am. Vinabot wouldn't let me enter his archives so easily, but here they have listed everything about the citizens and events in Angel Grove.

(He turns on one of them. He realises he needs a password to enter the archives)

Snipegrand: Stupid machines. 

(He puts a kind of digital card into a slot. The password is given automatically. He searches everything that has happened within the last 20 years. He finds some important information)

Snipegrand: Let's see... 1983/6/15: The rasist organization A.B.A. crosses the line; 2 African tourists murdered. The organisation under the leadership of Karl Vinack Bonsam left their base. 
1983/12/29: A couple from Korea murdered while leaving from a Christmas party. A.B.A. No1 suspect.
What else? Hm... This A.B.A. guys have been killing and recruiting young members for years. 1987/9/20: The Police Force is still incapable of arresting the members of A.B.A. Assault against Greek Family. One dead, a boy kidnapped. Wait a second. After that there are no more news concerning the A.B.A. Only in 1991, there was a huge explosion at the same area where this Computer Facility is based. Many ex-ABA members were killed, including the young boy members... except for one. The boy named Xenon Papadakis. Their leader's body was also not found. But still, why is Vinabot so afraid of Xenon?

(He searches a little more) 

Snipegrand: Impossible... the boss is an Earthling!

- Computer Facilities of Nasada.
(Patricia walks in Xenon's office, holding two cups of coffee.)

Patricia: Goodmorning!

Xenon: You're late.

Patricia: Goodmorning Patricia. 

Xenon: We have a deadline for this.

Patricia: Don't be such a whiner! Here, I brought some coffee.

Xenon: Ok, thanks. Now, sit down. It's our first project together and since all this partnership thing is new to me, I want to make it perfect.

Patricia: Don't worry, it will be excellent. Now, let's get start with it. 

-Spaceship

Vinabot: Where is Snipegrand?

Mechpart: I have no idea.

Vinabot: There's something wrong with him. He is acting very strangely lately. So strangely that I almost lost my confidence in his skills as a devoted warrior.

Mechpart: I think you shouldn't judge his behaviour that way. He might have his own problems, that doesn't mean it has something to do with you or this war.

Vinabot: Everything concerning my crew has to do with me. No more talk. You!

(He turns to a Skeletobot)

Vinabot: I want you to keep an eye on Snipegrand. Spy on him. Don't leave him from you sight not even for a microsecond. 

(The Skeletobots nods and leaves the control room)

Vinabot: Now, back to buisiness. Is my new robot ready?

Mechpart: All is set.

Vinabot: And the new program?

Mechpart: Already loaded.

Vinabot: Perfect. Then let's destroy the Power Rangers and this miserable planet once and for all! Send the robot to Earth!

Mechpart: Right away.

-Computer Research Facilities of NNasada, Xenon's office

(Xenon and Patricia are working while having fast food lunch.)

Xenon: Here. Wait until I change this command line...

Patricia: Oh no! They forgot my fries!

Xenon: Here, take mine. I don't really like them anyway.

(He hands over the fries)

Patricia: Thanks. 

(She accidentally drops the fries' box on Xenon's pants)

Xenon: Hey!

Patricia: God! I'm so sorry!

(In her attempt to help Xenon she also drops her Coca Cola on him.)

Patricia: Oh dear! I don't believe it!

Xenon: YOU don't believe it?

Patricia: Don't yell at me! 

Xenon: It's not yelling, it's one man's desperation!

Patricia: I'll clean it up for you!

Xenon: No, it tickles!

Patricia: Tickles?

Xenon: Yes!

Patricia: It tickles?

(She starts laughing)

Xenon: What is it? What?

(After a while he starts laughing as well)

Xenon: What are we laughing at?

Patrcia: I... I don't know.

(They stare at each other. Suddenly Michael storms in the office)

Michael: Guys, we... Did I interupt anything?

Xenon: No, of course not.

Michael: You do know that you're not supposed to have lunch here with all this equipment. You could be fired.

Xenon: As long as you don't say it to my sister, we're going to be fine.

Patricia: Michael, what's wrong?

Michael: Braking News. Robot at the mall.

Xenon: Let's go. 

-Angel Grove Shopping Mall

(A robot attacks the citizens.)

PoisonBot: You're wasting so many hours to do some shopping. You will now realise that even a minute is too important to be wasted.

(The robot starts shooting needles against the citizens. The needles penitrate their skin. They start coughing and then faint. Suddenly the Rangers storm in riding the Jet Cycles in motorcycle mode. Bobbie shoots at the robot.)

Bobbie: Vinabot's game is over!

PoisonBot: Power Rangers! I've been excpecting you.

(They get off the Cycles)

Xenon: So, here we are.

(They see the people screaming in pain, coughing and fainting)

Maria: What have you done to them?

PoisonBot: The very same thing I'm going to do to you too!

(He shoots the needles against the Rangers. They fall on the ground but the needles are unable to penitrate their uniforms. They stand up)

Jack: You'll have to try better than that!

Bobbie: Attack!

(Bobbie double kicks the robot. Michael punches the back of it and Jack performs a hard stomach punch. The girls jump and perform an air kick each, making the robot fall back.)

Michael: And that was only the begining of it!

Poisonbot: No! THAT's, only the begining of it!

(He fires longer needles against the Net, Blue, Black, Pink and Yellow Rangers. The needles penitrate their Chips. The Rangers start trembling and in a while, they faint. At the same time, Bobbie fires with his Blaster against the robot.)

Bobbie: Give it up!

PoisonBot: I will...for now.

(It teleports away. Bobbie runs to the others)

Bobbie: Guys, are you ok? Maria? Patricia? Xenon? Someone? What's wrong? I'll get you out of here.

(He starts carrying them one by one to his Cycle.)

-Hideout

(The four Rangers are laying on beds, unmorphed. They are obviously hurt, probably ill. They are sweat and they are sleeping. Bobbie is watching the news through a monitor)

Newscaster: The East Side of Angel Grove is suffering a fate worst than death itself. Within the last 5 hours hundreds of citizens have been infected with a virus of unknown origin. The virus first appeared after the attack of a robot that the Power Rangers attemtped to destroy. All hospitals are full. Doctors claim never to have seen such virus, thus they consider nearly impossible the invention of an antibiotic against this illness. Only thing they know for sure is that this illness is growing fast. If no cure is found within the next 6 hours, we will start counting victims.

Bobbie: Great. 

(He switches the monitor off. He turns to the other Rangers.)

Bobbie: What am I going to do without you guys? I don't even know what this illness is. I can't find a medicine and I can't beat this robot alone. It seems that Vinabot really did make it this time. Don't leave me, ok? I need you. All of you.

(He stares at a monitor showing the ill citizens.)

Bobbie: I got to find a cure. And since I have less than 6 hours to do so, I better start looking. 

-Angel Grove Memorial

(Bobbie enters the hospital. It is full of patients. All nurses are running up and down the hospital to help as many patients as they can. The doctors are doing superhuman efforts to take care of everyone. Bobbie stares at them all while walking. He ends up in front of a doctor)

Doctor: May I help you?

Bobbie: Huh? Yes. I wanted to know if there is any kind of cure for this horrible illness.

Doctor: Take a look around. Do you think we have a cure?

Bobbie: But you must find something! People are going to die! You need to help!

Doctor: What do you think we are trying to do here? There is no cure. Period. And now, unless you have relatives or friends in here, go, you're waisting my precious time. I have patients to look after.

Bobbie: But...

Doctor: Will you leave yourself, or do you want the security to accompany you?

Bobbie: Ok, I'm going.

(Bobbie leaves the hospital. He runs in an alley, behind the hospital.)

Bobbie: I know I'm not supposed to use my powers for personal gain, but this is far from personal. It's an emergency. Digitalize!

Bobbie: Download Digital Force, Red!

(He morphs. He enters the hospital again. The patients all around him yell and scream at him, requesting help from the Red Ranger, accusing him for not stopping the robot who did this to them. Bobbie talks to the same doctor)

Bobbie: Doctor, may I have a minute with you, please?

Doctor: Red Ranger! What can I do for you?

Bobbie: Tell me, how are things going here?

Doctor: It's a mess. The hospital is full of patients, the personel isn't enough to take care of all of them and we don't know what to do with them. This illness is a madness.

Bobbie: Why don't you make a medicine against it?

Doctor: We can't. We've never seen such thing. If we could isolate it...

Bobbie: Wait a second. You mean you haven't isolated it yet?

Doctor: No. This virus itself can't be that powerful. All patients have symptoms of a bad flue, cholisterine etc. only in bad forms. My theory is that this virus activates other bacteria and viruses already within the human organism. That's why we can't track it. In my years as a doctor, I've never seen anything like this. With our equipment, we are helpless. 

Bobbie: You may not have the equipment, but I do. Me and the other Rangers were able to isolate this virus, but we are no doctors. We can't recognise the form of it.

Doctor: Maybe I can.

Bobbie: My thoughts exactly. Do you have a computer, PC, something around here?

Doctor: Follow me.

(The enter the doc's office. There's a computer there. Bobbie presses a button on his Chip and downloads the data from the Hideout's computers. He then unplugs his Chip and links it to the computer. He transfers the data and then puts the Chip back on his chest.)

Bobbie: What do you think?

Doctor: It looks fairly simple. The basic structure is the same. Only a few changes on its RNA, but ever since we decoded the genetic material that shall be no problem.

Bobbie: Can you make something? A medicine maybe?

Doctor: I could make an extra effective medicine that would destroy this virus in minutes, but it would take about 15 hours.

Bobbie: We don't have that much time. Anything else?

Doctor: Yes. I could also make a medicine that wouldn't cure the patients instantly, but it would reduce the levels of cholistrole and stuff until we produce the stronger medicine. It's not so effective, but it should work.

Bobbie: How much will that take?

Doctor: Three, four hours max.

Bobbie: Try your best doc. We have less than 5 hours to destribute this cure to some hundreds of citizens.

(With that he runs away)

-Spaceship, Snipegrand's chamber.<

(Snipegrand is checking some files on his own computer.)

Snipegrand: Vinabot stormed into our ship from out of nowhere, killed our honoured captain and made us his slaves. But since then things happened. His insane obsession with this stupid planet grew stronger. I want to know why. It turned out that the boss is nothing more than an ordinary human. Why would he try to destroy his own planet? It doesn't make any sense. Why is he so afraid of the Net Ranger? What ... Huh?

(He notices the shadow of the Skeletobot that is spying on him. He stands up and walks toward it. The Skeletobot turns his back to leave but Snipegrand teleports right in front of him and grabs its neck.)

Snipegrand: What are you doing here? You were spying on me, weren't you? Who sent you? Vinabot?

(The Skeletobot doesn't say a word)

Snipegrand: Very well. You asked for it.

(With a move he rips open the Skeletobot's chest)

-Hideout, 3 hours later 

(Bobbie is sitting on a chair, morphed, helmet off, staring at his friends almost desperetaly. Suddenly he hears one of the computers bleeping.)

Bobbie: The doctor! This is the Red Ranger, come in!

Doctor: "Red Ranger, I'm glad to inform you that we have the first results of the medicine. They are possitive."

Bobbie: That's great!

Doctor: "I have our scientists to work around the clock to produce more of it. We will have enough for the entire city in aproximately half an hour."

Bobbie: Can I have five samples of it right now?

Doctor: "I think we have some left here."

Bobbie: Great! I'm on my way!

(He takes his helmet and runs away)

-Hideout, half an hour later

(Bobbie storms in with the medicine. He runs to his friends to administrate it to them.)

Bobbie: Here you go guys. With this you'll be fine in a few hours.

(He injects all the Rangers with the medicine)

Bobbie: Great. I got to go now. The entire city needs me.

(He runs away again)

-Angel Grove Memorial

(The Red Ranger is loading his Jet Cycle in jet mode with the medicine, with the help of the doctor and a few paramedics.)

Doctor: You must spray the city as soon as possible. 

Bobbie: Yeah, I will. Are you sure it will work?

Doctor: Yes. We don't have time to destribute the medicine to individual patient. Fortunately this medicine can also be destribute using the patient's breathing process plus it won't hurt anyone that is already fine.

Bobbie: Great. Doc, you saved the world.

Doctor: That's my job.

Bobbie: Yeah, I know how it is. Hard but...

Doctor: Magnificent too.

Bobbie: Exactly. I got a work to do.

Doctor: Good luck.

(Bobbie nods, jumps on his Jet Cycle and takes off.)

Bobbie: Alright, now according to this coordinates I must be flying over the furthest edge of East Angel Grove. I will spray from right to left, covering the entire area. Let's start.

(He presses a button on the dashboard and from the bottom of the Jet Cycle the medicine is sprayed. All the citzens turn from pale to normal color and they already seem to feel better. In only a while he has sprayed the entire East side of Angel Grove. Suddenly he notices a little red dot on a monitor on the dashboard.)

Bobbie: Now what?

(He checks the ground. PoisonBot is creating havoc)

Bobbie: Allright you little freak. Let's settle this once and for all.

(He jumps down of his Jet Cycle and lands on his feet, in front of Poisonbot)

PoisonBot: You are finally back! 

Bobbie: Yes and I'm about to put an end to your horror. This city is now cured, as well as my friends. They'll be here in only a while.

PoisonBot: Friends? You don't mean THOSE friends, do you?

(The robot steps aside and the other five Rangers, all morphed walk into the scene.)

Bobbie: What are you guys doing here.

(They don't respond)

Bobbie: Hello! It's me Bobbie. What's wrong with you guys?

PoisonBot: They won't respond Ranger. You didn't think I would just infect your friends with same kind of illness I infected the rest of the city, did you? No, of course not. Their illness was supposed to kill them. However if this plan failed this illness would just confuse their mind and turn them against you and the rest of Angel Grove. They will only obey me and Vinabot. Rangers, kill him!

(PoisonBot leaves and the other Rangers are walking hostilly toward Bobbie)

Bobbie: Come on guys! It's me Bobbie! You can't be serious. Come on, he's gone now, you can stop acting like this!

(They all take out their blasters and aim at him)

Bobbie: Oh crap.

(The fire at him. Bobbie dodges the shots and runs for cover. He hides in an alley.)

Bobbie: Allright, let's not panic yet. I'm the leader so supposingly I'm stronger than they are. But yet we share the same technology which is technically controlled by Xenon and Xenon is with THEM. They are five and I'm one. They have a megazord but I have only one battleborg. I have ethics but they don't even know the definition of the word at this very moment. Ok, I think it's time to panic.

(The other Rangers blast Bobbie. He quickly gets up and starts running away. He is stopped by Xenon and Jack. They punch him and make him fall back. Patricia and Maria kick him from the back. Michael jump-kicks him and makes him fall on the ground. Bobbie duck-kicks Xenon and throws him against the others. He finds opportunity to run away and hide again. The other Rangers look for him. They load their Extermination Weapons)

Bobbie: That's just wonderful. I can't keep up and I don't stand a chance against the Extermination Weapons. Load Extermination Electrosword.

(The Electrosword appears on his right arm.)

Bobbie: All I can do is hope that Xenon won't cancel my access password to the Digital Force program.

(The other Rangers keep searching)

Bobbie: Wait a second. They were under the control of PoisonBot ever since they morphed. Their powers locked the virus and mutated it. If I shut down the program they will return in normal status and the medicine will eventually kill the virus. But how am I supposed to immobilize them? That's it! Xenon once told me about the Extermination Weapons' megablast. It requires great energy amounts but if used correctly it can even destroy a robot. God help me on this one.

(He stands up)

Xenon: There!

Bobbie: I'm sorry guys! EXTERMINATION ELECTROSWORD, MEGABLAST!

(Bobbie presses a button on the sword's wrist bracelet. The electric "blade" of the sword becomes longer and blasts the other Rangers. An electric field immobolizes them. Bobbie runs to them)

Bobbie: I better hurry before this field kills them.

(The Rangers struggle to escape)

Bobbie: Don't fight it guys. You'll be fine in just a while.

(He removes their Chips and deactivates them. The Rangers demorph and faint. The field is also deactivated.)

Bobbie: You'll be fine now guys. Don't worry.

(Suddenly he sees PoisonBot wrecking the city as a giant.)

Bobbie: Just what I needed. I hope I don't need a megazord for this. Digital Force Red Battleborg, activate!

(The underground zords holding bay in the forest opens and the Red Battleborg flies toward Angel Grove. Bobbie teleports in)

Bobbie: Alright PoisonBot. Time to finish this.

PoisonBot: Gladly!

(They start fighting. The battleborg punches a few times the robot. The robot steps back and shoots huge needles against the Battleborg. The needles plug into the zord. Poisonbot sends electric waves to the needles and drains the zord's power.)

Bobbie: Damn! All energy levels are droping. I must set myself free!

(The Battleborg takes out the blaster and shoots itself, destroying the needles)

Bobbie: Ahhhh! That hurt. But it worked, I'm free.

PoisonBot: You set yourself free, but you didn't get rid of me yet.

Bobbie: I am about to do that right now. After all, you are a weak robot.

(The zord turns the blaster against the robot.)

Bobbie: Red Digital Force Battleborg, power up! FIRE!

(He continiously shoots the robot. In a while the robot kneels and explodes.)

Bobbie: You are finally eliminated.

-Hideout

(All Rangers except for Bobbie are in the Hideout, resting, trying to recover. Michael is discussing with Maria and Jack)

Michael: That was was close! I thought I was going to die.

Maria: I'm sure the same thought crossed all of us minds.

Jack: And it wasn't good. Vinabot really crossed the line this time.

Michael: Bobbie is the one who crossed the line. I have some awful bruises on my body.

Maria: Come on, he said he didn't hurt us.

Michael: He's just taking advantage of the fact that we don't remember anything about this battle.

Maria: Allright, next time he stays on bed and you fight 5 Rangers.

(On the other corner Patricia is sitting alone, resting. Xenon is -as usual- watching the city through the monitors. He stands up and approaches Patricia. He sits next to her.)

Patricia: Hey.

Xenon: Hey you. Were you sleeping?

Patricia: No, I was just resting. You should try it once in a while.

Xenon: What makes you believe I don't get enough rest?

Patricia: When you are watching over the city?

Xenon: I give up. We have a project left unfinished.

Patricia: So what? We're never going to finish it within our deadline anyway.

Xenon: It's ok. We can try. Besides I think we're having a great time together.

Patricia: What... What do you mean?

Xenon: I don't know for sure...yet. But I have a feeling that this little chat will come up again, soon enough.

(He smiles and returns to the monitors. Patricia looks at him at first, then faces the ground thoughtfully.)

-Spaceship

( Mechpart enters the control room. Vinabot is there walking up and down the room)

Mechpart: Boss, I regret to inform you that the Rangers destroyed PoisonBot and cured the entire city.

Vinabot: I already know that Mechpart. But I have more important issues to deal with.

Mechpart: More important?

Vinabot: There is a traitor among us Mechpart. Someone who sabotaged other missions, someone that will not stop until I and this ship are destroyed.

Mechpart: And who is this boss?

Vinabot: I...I have no idea. But I'm going to find out. Skeletobot unit S-09 report in.

(The Skeletobot that was spying on Snipegrand walks into the room)

S-09: No unusual actions have been performed by Snipegrand. He is loyal.

Vinabot: What? Loyal? Impossible. I was possitive that Snipegrand was the traitor. If it isn't him, then who is it?

(Outside the room, Snipegrand hears the entire thing.)

Snipegrand: Hahaha. You idiot. You really thought you could beat me so easily. A little reprogramming and your little spy is doing as I say. I know the truth Vinabot. And now that masks are off, you are going to leave this ship once and for all.
