FADE IN:

Space.

Vast.

Dark.

Quiet.

The planets and moons orbit around and do there thing. Floating among the astral decorations, debris  and what not is a space station. It's not much smaller then the moon with a cubic shape, satillite  dishes and antennas scattered about. On the side facing the earth is a large window through which  we can spy two occupants.

INT - SPACE STATION -

We join our two occupants as they are seated in front of a large bank of computers and monitoring  equipment. DIG is a slightly round fellow happy with his position and dilligently working at it while  CHALKE lounges in his chair reading a playboy magazine.

DIG
You could help me here Chalke.

CHALKE
That I could my friend or I could sit here and read my books.

Dig snorts at this.

DIG
Books, ha.

CHALKE
It's better then looking out and nothing all day, checking nothing and reporting nothing.

DIG
So you didn't get into the academy, let it go.

CHALKE
I've got three metals of valor, two purple hearts and a test score keeps me out? C'mon now.

The monitor flashes before the serious looking visage of CAPTAIN TIA SWAN appears. Dig snaps to  upon seeing her. Chalke looks up and then goes back to reading.

CPT. SWAN
Gentlemen,

DIG
Captain Swan.

CHALKE
Tia.

Swan allows her face to show slight irritation by Chalke's name dropping and lack of respect..only for  a moment.

CPT. SWAN
We were in school together true enough Percival, but recognize that I am your superior and you are to be doing  an assignment I gave you.

Chalke takes a moment himself to recover from hearing his name spoken.

CHALKE
Nothing is happening, sir. Nothing ever does.

CPT. SWAN
Right...I'll expect your next check in on time.

Chalke starts to speak but Dig cuts in before he can do any more harm.

DIG
Of course ma'am.

The image cuts off as Chalke finds his bravado and launches his magazine at the screen.

CHALKE
I can't stand her! She was like that all through school, always with her holier than thou attitude.

An alarm klaxon cuts off Chalke's rant. Dig works quickly at the computer and brings up the image of  something massive coming toward them.

DIG
My god, what is that?

INT - EARTH - DAY

We join Swan in her office. It is barren aside from the sleek desk topped with a vidcomm monitor.  She has a file open on the desk and is writing a reprimand for Chalke. Dig's panicked face  appears on her vidcom screen.

DIG
Captain Swan--

CPT. SWAN
Dig what -

DIG
We're in trouble up here. Big trouble!

The call is cut off. Swan quickly stabs the button to her intercom.

CPT. SWAN
I need a line to the SPD Guard Tower.

A beat.

COMM
Uh, that's not possible ma'am.

CPT. SWAN
Not possible? Why not?

COMM
Because...it's not there anymore.

Swan sits back in her chair, slowly digesting the news.

INT - CLASSROOM - DAY

A class is in progress. The words "SPECIAL POLICE DETECTIVE" is written on the  chalkboard at the head of the class. Leading the lecture is the wise and uber respected Dr. Ryan  Mitchell. He is passing back term papers. Student reaction from the papers range from jubilation to  those who tear up their papers in disgust.

DR. MITCHELL
Someone explain to me what it means to be a Special Police Detective?

A student starts to answer, but AVERY MITCHELL, ever the suck up, cuts in.

AVERY
To safeguard the rights and the people on this world and all life contained in this great universe.

The student glares at Avery while he just winks at her. Dr. Mitchell returns to the front.

DR. MITCHELL
Right. And as such I demand a certain level of work and dedication from you cadets. Ego will not be tolerated.  Just because you are in this academy, that does not guarentee graduation. I'd love it if it did. I'm a realist  though. Not all of you will make it.

SHELLBY STEVENS looks to an empty seat with a term paper on the desk and bites her lower lip in  concern for that particular student.

INT - HOUSE - DAY

SHANNON PATRIC is fast asleep on his couch. His cell phone sits atop the coffee table next to him  beeping. A text message from Shellby alerts him to class...at least it would if he was paying it any  mind.

INT - CLASSROOM - DAY

Dr. Mitchell still teaches.

DR. MITCHELL
I am impressed by a few of you. Others need to pick up the pace or get off the bus now. We are living in  different times. Immigrants are not only coming in from other countries but other planets as well. We'd like to  believe they are benevolent but we must be prepared for those that aren't.

The bell rings and the students pack up.

DR. MITCHELL (CONT'D)
hand to hand training is today, let's try not to be late.

He looks to Shellby.

DR. MITCHELL (CONT'D)
And let's try to make certain everyone is there.

Avery remains as the kids file out. Dr. Mitchell places the last paper on his desk. Avery quickly  scoops it up and sifts through it proudly.

AVERY
Saving the best for last huh dad?

DR. MITCHELL
Not quite.

Avery's eyes bug out seeing the red letter "D" on the first page of his paper.

AVERY
A D? What is this?

DR. MITCHELL
I was speaking to you when I mentioned assumptions Avery.

Avery can barely rein in his disbelief.

AVERY
Why me?

DR. MITCHELL
Your aspirations are noble, but you continue to give me subpar work and further insult me by assuming I will just  stamp a good grade on it because you are my son.

AVERY
So I don't do my best on the papers. Our job is to police the planet, not write in complete sentences on an exam  or term paper!

Dr. Mitchell remains calm as Avery's temperature rises.

DR. MITCHELL
Son, I know what your goals are and who you want to be but even the very best start down somewhere.

AVERY
Well I'll always be down with D's. I can't make Dekaranger with marks like this dad!

DR. MITCHELL
Then try harder.

Avery grabs his things and storms out the door, pushing past Swan as he goes. Dr. Mitchell just  shakes his head.

CPT. SWAN
Another fantastic father son chat eh?

Dr. Mitchell replies with a sigh.

CPT. SWAN (CONT'D)
Well things are only going to get worse from here I'm afraid.

DR. MITCHELL
What is it?

CPT. SWAN
We lost the Guard Tower.

Dr. Mitchell doesn't process the obvious information.

DR. MITCHELL
Lost contact?

CPT. SWAN
No Ryan...we've lost it. It's just not there. Vaporized, teleported, I am not sure. It's just gone.

DR. MITCHELL
Gone? Well what-what could have caused it?

Swan shrugs her shoulders.

CPT. SWAN
Not sure. Our scanners don't even show anything out there but deep space.

Dr. Mitchell gathers his things and exits into the hallway with Swan.

DR. MITCHELL
Let's not alarm people. At least not until we know what the threat is. I want you to glued to this and  keep me informed.

CPT. SWAN
Yes sir.

EXT - SPACE -

The scanners on earth see nothing but there is indeed a large space craft parked high above the  planet earth.

INT - [WORKING TITLE] -

Inside the craft on the bridge, a cloaked alien being stands on an observation post over looking the  earth below. Behind this alien, another one steps close and bows. The cloaked being, CENTARSUS  turns slightly to acknowledge his general.

CENTARSUS
Fuzor, report status.

FUZOR
Lord Centarsus, our sentries on earth are moving into position to disable the protective screen.

CENTARSUS
Excellent.

FUZOR
I anticipate mere terran hours before our forces can commence with invasion operations.

CENTARSUS
See to it that there are no mistakes.

FUZOR
Of course.

Fuzor bows again and departs.

INT - GYM - DAY

Hand to hand instruction is underway. The students are all dressed for gym in t-shirts and  black shorts. Shellby, and Avery's pants are colored pink and blue repsectively, a sign of  things to come? Presently a male and female student are exchanging attacks  and counters under a teacher's watchful eye. The girl sports a pair of gold shorts unlike all the others.  Shannon saunters in through one of the doors and past the battling students. His shorts are red.

GYM TEACHER
You're late Patric.

Shannon shrugs as he passes the teacher. He takes a seat on the mat next to Shellby. She leans  into whisper to him.

SHELLBY
I sent you a dozen messages Shannon.

SHANNON
And I ignored them. Shellby, I love ya for thinking of my academic well being but I had a late night.

Avery looks back at Shannon.

AVERY
You're supposed to be studying at night, not ho-ing around.

SHANNON
Well some people don't need to study as much as some underachievers.

Avery turns all the way around to get into Shannon's face.

AVERY
What?

SHANNON
You owe your father, not the other way around.

AVERY
What do you know? You don't even care about things here. And you need not ever speak about my father  again!

Avery slugs Shannon across the face for good measure. Shannon pulls Avery toward him and lands  a shot of his own. Their scuffle spills through the other students and onto the mat. They're on their  feet in moments.

AVERY (CONT'D)
You have so had this coming.

The teacher steps up on the mat.

GYM TEACHER
Break it up you two.

The guys don't listen. Instead, they lay into each other with arms swinging and legs kicking. A young  girl in yellow on the other side of the gym stops her mopping to watch the fight.

INT - TECH LAB - DAY

Dr. Mitchell is working along with PHILLIP ROSWELL as he reads off some data.

PHILLIP
So the outer structures have been reinforced per your request but there are still nagging components that don't  like the output we are attempting to channel through them.

DR. MITCHELL
Well make them fit, make them work Phillip.

PHILLIP
I am doing my best sir.

Philip stops walking and strokes his chin in thought for a moment.

PHILLIP (CONT'D)
Is there any particular reason for this rather sudden change in pace? In the months before you gave me time to  work out the kinks. Now-

DR. MITCHELL
Things change. You just have to make certain you are ready for them, whenever, wherever. Understand?

PHILLIP
Understood.

Dr. Mitchell's cell rings. He answers it before the second ring.

DR. MITCHELL
Mitchell...what? On my way.

He claps the phone shut and stalks off down the hall. Phillip follows.

INT - GYM - DAY

Avery and Shannon's scuffle is still going on. It actually is an impressive display of martial arts skill. Dr.  Mitchell shoves the doors open upon entry, prompting the teacher to actually try and break up the  fight.

GYM TEACHER
Alright alright, that's enough!

The two stop struggling as Dr. Mitchell gets to them.

DR. MITCHELL
What is this? What is going on here!

AVERY
Just a beatdown his arrogant ass deserves.

SHANNON
You must have been watching a different fight. It didn't look like a beatdown to me!

AVERY
You punk-

DR. MITCHELL
Enough Avery! You are dismissed!

Avery sulks away. Dr. Mitchell whirls to face Shannon who actually drops his tough guy demeanor  recieving the man's angry look.

DR. MITCHELL (CONT'D)
I allow you here because I see something in you. Something more then you obviously. Don't throw it away.

Dr. Mitchell turns and strides away. He stops near the door as the girl from before is still watching.

DR. MITCHELL (CONT'D)
As I recall you still have probation to work off Eve.

Eve takes the hint and resumes mopping.

Shellby and Phillip join Shannon on the mat.

PHILLIP
You know, there is something so unsettling when you have that man angry at you.

SHANNON
Tell me about it. Everytime I try to get kicked from this place, that glare keeps me going.

PHILLIP
Kicked out? Why would you do that?

SHANNON
A space cop is not on my things to do list in life Phillip.

PHILLIP
But what is is advanced SP tactics tutoring.

Phillip looks at at Eve slaving away on the floor.

Shannon looks at Eve.

SHANNON
Yeah, so can stop slobbering over the crook and ask her out.

PHILLIP
I'm not slobbering and she's not a crook.

Shannon just laughs as he and Shellby walk off. Phillip looks at Eve once more and catches up to  them.

INT - GENERATOR ROOM - DAY

We are underground. Deep. At the end of a red light lit hallway, several bodies are sprawled out on  the floor. Beyond the bodies, past the broken doors a group of beings in silver and black suits and  hellmets are setting up an explosive device.

INT - LIBRARY - DAY

Phillip, Shannon and Shellby study away. Phillip looks over Shannon's shoulder at the textbook he is  reading.

PHILLIP
Miranda rights for intergalacters, these are important. Even one slip up and the worst terrorist can be kicked on  a technicality.

Shannon's cell vibrates on the desk. Shellby quickly snatches it up.

SHELLBY
Shannon's phone...Christian? Hey how are you! Yeah, he's right here.

Shellby tosses Shannon his phone. He turns away from them to speak.

SHANNON
What's cracking boy?

CHISTIAN (O.S.)
Romancing my lady a little bit.

SHANNON
You finally going to do it?

CHISTIAN (O.S.)
I think so. I've got the set up all taken care of. It's the guts to have the follow through I am worried about.

SHANNON
Well just let me know so I can plan the bachelor party.

Phillip shakes his head as he watches Shannon. He recieves a message on his phone, sighing as he  checks it.

PHILLIP
Again?

SHELLBY
What is it?

PHILLIP
Dr. Mitchell again. He's working my butt off lately, I don't understand why.

Phllip bags his stuff and gets up from the table. Shellby does the same.

SHELLBY
You think I can get to see the projects you work on?

PHILLIP
I dunno. They're pretty hush hush about that stuff. I could see.

Shannon is still yapping on the phone and hardly notices the duo go.

EXT - STREET - DAY

CHRISTIAN VEGA wearing all white, stands on a street corner with his phone to his ear. A moment  later he is joined by his longtime girlfriend, TRISHAUN CARTER.

TRISHAUN
Okay, you've got me here, so why are you on your phone?

CHISTIAN
Sorry baby.

Christian quickly hangs up. Trishaun looks up at the building they are meeting at.

TRISHAUN
So what's the deal here? You have never wanted to come here before. This kind of place is for special  occasions.

Christian palms the ring box in his pocket.

CHISTIAN
That's the idea.

TRISHAUN
Whatever you are cooking up we need to hurry. My family is in my dorm room right now waiting on me.

EXT - HALLWAY - DAY

Eve is still mopping along. She notices a door marked 'authorized personnel only' is ajar. She looks  around the hall before giving into curiosity and going through the door. She doesn't notices her anklet  begins to glow.

INT - DR. MITCHELL'S OFFICE - DAY

Dr. Mitchell and Swan are looking over various data printouts on Dr. Mitchell's desk.

CPT. SWAN
I have checked every scan we have. Nothing is there. Nothing of ours any way. And this on the heels of the  security breach last month.

DR. MITCHELL
I don't believe in coincidence Tia.

CPT. SWAN
Do we have any contigency plans in place?

DR. MITCHELL
Plans yes. Options, no. I think we need to place in a call to the Galactic Council, get the Master back on earth.

CPT. SWAN
He's a few galaxies away but I can see the logic, we don't know what we are dealing with.

Alarm klaxons. A monitor raises out of Dr. Mitchell's desk. The two glance at each other and then  watch as Eve makes her way along a corridor in the building.

CPT. SWAN (CONT'D)
Who is that?

DR. MITCHELL
Eve...far beyond her probabtionary boundaries. That path will take her to-

He hits a switch and the image changes to the generator room and the alarming sight of the guards  bodies.

CPT. SWAN
The generator room...what happened there?

The beings emerge from the room heading in Eve's direction. Dr. Mitchell grabs a laser weapon from  his desk.

DR. MITCHELL
Get security down there.

CPT. SWAN
Where are you going?

DR. MITCHELL
To help Eve. Something has to be up in the generator room, I want to know what.

EXT - GENERATOR ROOM - DAY

Eve stumbles backward as the creatures close in on her.

EVE
What the hell are you things?

Eve kicks one of the creatures that has grabbed hold of her ankle. She scrambles to her feet and  down the hall. She chances a look behind her and collides with Dr. Mitchell.

EVE (CONT'D)
Dr. Mitchell. I'm sorry, the door was open and I was checking it out and-

DR. MITCHELL
Later Eve. Let's save your life first.

He helps her up and the two are quickly down the hall.

EXT - GENERATOR FACILITY - DAY

Dr. Mitchell and Eve emerge and meet up with two officers.

DR. MITCHELL
Secure the generator quickly!

The officers head inside.

EVE
What was that about?

DR. MITCHELL
I think someone's trying to get to earth. Did you notice anything about the generator room? Anything that was  there that shouldn't have been?

EVE
I never made it that far, sorry.

DR. MITCHELL
It's alright. Let's just hope nothing is amiss. Should that generator go, the shield protecting the earth will be  destroyed. Heaven help us if that happens.

Dr. Mitchell hurries on as Eve follows. An alien being garbed in a dingy long coat and hooded shirt  watches them from behind around a corner.

MECHAMAN
Centarsus, we may have a problem.

INT - BRIDGE -

Centarsus is in his commander's seat with the Mechaman on the vidcom.

CENTARSUS
Go ahead.

MECHAMAN
Dr. Mitchell is on to us.

FUZOR
He's the initiator of the entire SPD program. There have been reports that he is on the heel of greater powers.  Powers that rival the Master. he must be stopped.

MECHAMAN
Understood.

The feed cuts off as Centarsus turns to scold his soldier.

CENTARSUS
I give the commands here Fuzor.

FUZOR
Of course my lord. I meant no disrespect.

Centarsus is far from convinced of this but says nothing at this time. Fuzor bows and takes his leave.

INT - DR. MITCHELL'S OFFICE - DAY

Avery is sitting at the desk as his father comes in. Dr. Mitchell pauses for a beat. Avery stands to his  feet as Dr. Mitchell walks around his desk and starts toying with something under it.

DR. MITCHELL
Now is not the time Avery.

AVERY
I will not have you snub me for tha charity case you picked up. Shannon doesn't even want to be an officer.

Dr. Mitchell ignores Avery as he opens a hidden compartment of his desk. Avery's widen as his father  pulls a glass case out of the compartment. The contents of the case Avery knows all too well. Eve  peeks her head in the office.

AVERY (CONT'D)
The SPD licenses? What are you doing with those?

Dr. Mitchell doesn't waste the time to answer and just opts to depart from the office. Avery is on his  heels a moment later.

EXT - OFFICE - DAY

Dr. Mitchell emerges with his son and Eve in tow. A few yards away Phillip and Shellby are heading  his way.

PHILLIP
There's the good doctor...and her....omigod...

SHELLBY
Relax Phillip. Just breathe and it will be okay.

The four youngsters all converge on the doctor. He immediately focuses on Phillip.

DR. MITCHELL
I need these primed and ready.

PHILLIP
The licenses?

DR. MITCHELL
Why do you guys keep thinking I have time for 20 questions? Just do what I ask.

Dr. Mitchell holds the box out to Philip. Before he can take hold of it a bullet shatters the case and  rips through Dr. Mitchell's chest. The licenses scatter as Dr. Mitchell falls back on the pavement.

AVERY
Dad!

Avery kneels at his father's side and cradles his head in his lap.

AVERY (CONT'D)
Dad...

MECHAMAN (O.S.)
Such a primitive tool.

The foursome turn and see Mechaman step out in the open. He tosses the sniper rifle he holds to the  ground.

MECHAMAN (CONT'D)
But it gets the job done.

AVERY
Just who the hell are you?

MECHAMAN
A sign of things to come.

The Mechaman sprints off. Avery scoops up a license and gives chase. Phillip grabs another as the  girls just stand there.

PHILLIP
C'mon, he killed Dr. Mitchell! We've got to arrest him!

Phillip takes off. Eve grabs a license and does the same. Shellby remains, dialing her cell phone.

SHELLBY
Come on Shannon, pick up for once.

VOICE MAIL (O.S.)
To leave a message, press one.

Shellby pushes the number on her phone.

SHELLBY
Shannon! Dr. Mitchell's been shot outside his office! We're chasing the perp now! Make yourself useful!

Eve pockets her phone. She looks at Dr. Mitchell a last time before joining the others.

EXT - ALLEY - DAY

The Mechaman halls alien ass down the alley with the cadets in pursuit.

INT - WHAREHOUSE - DAY

The alien enters the abandoned building and discovers that there is other way out then the one he  came. A moment later the cadets are there.

AVERY
That's far enough. Give it up.

MECHAMAN
That's not an option here. But you can try to cuff me.

Avery and Phillip charge. They try to grab the aliens arms, but he tosses them aside. Before the girls  can think to move he attacks them both putting them on the ground. Avery gets up and gives it a  second try only to have his ass handed to him again.

EXT - OFFICE  - DAY

A sporty red car screeches to a halt by the curb. Shannon quickly gets out and over to his fallen  teacher.

SHANNON
I-I called for medics Dr. Mitchell, they'll be here...just hang on.

Shannon goes silent as Dr. Mitchell grabs his shirt.

DR. MITCHELL
I'm not important.

SHANNON
Of course you are sir.

DR. MITCHELL
No. There are bigger dangers...you must help.

SHANNON
Help? Help how?

Dr. Mitchell's hand shakes as he holds out the last SPD license to the boy.

DR. MITCHELL
Find the others...help them. Deka must be whole to succeed.

SHANNON
Deka?

Dr. Mitchell gives a last breath before his eyes roll back and his body goes limp.

INT - WHAREHOUSE - DAY

Mechaman fights off the lastest charge and heads back out of the wharehouse. He leaps into the air  as the cadets get out of the building.

PHILLIP
Did you see that jump? He's not human!

Avery brandishes an energy weapon.

AVERY
Great!

Avery fires as Mechaman leaps again, hitting him in the back and dropping him into another wharehouse.

PHILLIP
Where'd you get that?

AVERY
Off my dad's body. Now let's get him!

INT - WHAREHOUSE2 - DAY

Mechaman emerges from the pile of debris created by his fall as the cadets arrive.

MECHAMAN
If I knew we were using blasters, this would have been more fun!

Mechaman takes aim at the foursome.

PHILLIP
Quick, your licesenses! Transform!

They execute their change motions.

ALL
Emergency, Dekaranger!

As they finish the command, the ground in front of them explodes. They are unaffected as their  Dekaranger uniforms wash over them. They sommersault through the smoke from the blast and stand ready.

In typical Sentai fashion the execute a solo move to introduce themself. Avery first.

AVERY
Dekablue!

Phillip.

PHILLIP
Dekagreen!

Eve.

EVE
Dekayellow!

Shellby.

SHELLBY
Dekapink!

They now pose together.

ALL
Tokusou Sentai,

The four hold their badges out in front of them.

ALL (CONT'D)
Dekaranger!

The Dekaranger unveil their combat batons.

MECHAMAN
Ha! Useless!

He charges them and counters their four attacks. Phillip finally manages to grab hold of the alien.

PHILLIP
I never knew these suits had this power!

Phillip slams the Mechaman into against a wall.

PHILLIP (CONT'D)
This guy is still a tough one.

Mechaman shoves Phillip away as Avery dives toward him.

AVERY
You just gotta know where to hit them!

Avery does a rolling tackle on Mechaman. Phillip follows up with a dropkick. The girls add a dropkick  of their own sending Mechaman flying. The four stand together and ready.

SHELLBY
Just let us arrest you!

MECHAMAN
Fat chance!

Mechaman tosses out several silver spheres. They shoot out a silver substance of some kind that  solidifies into the form of the creatures from the generator room.

EVE
Not them again...

The four are swarmed by them.

AVERY
Suck it up and let's take these freaks!

The newly christened Dekaranger hold their own against the creatures. Mechaman nods in approval.

MECHAMAN
They'll keep them busy long enough.

Mechaman leaps out of the wharehouse and onto the street. A beat later he crashes back through a  stack of boxes into the wharehouse, garnering the Dekaranger's attention.

AVERY
What the?

SHELLBY
Who is it?

PHILLIP
Another alien?

Shannon’s footfalls echo as he sprints into the wharehouse.

EVE
Dramatic isn't he?

SHANNON
Your crimes end here, permanately!

AVERY
No, we need him alive!

Shannon's change pose.

SHANNON
Emergency, Dekaranger!

Shannon's suit materializes on his body and he flips out to face Mechaman.

AVERY
Now, how about a dance...

Quick pose.

SHANNON
Dekared!

MECHAMAN
I've got a present for you too.

Mechaman releases more fighters.

SHANNON
Well come on then, let's see what I've got.

The creatures charge Shannon. He whips them easily but is blasted by Mechaman and lands  outside. He is on his feet in a hurry.

SHANNON (CONT'D)
I got sloppy there. Not again!

He pulls out his guns.

SHANNON (CONT'D)
It's really on now!

Shannon charges this time, blasting away from both weapons. He alternates between shooting and  hand to hand as he works through the Mechaman's grunt troops. He backflips as he fires on more  grunts. The other Dekaranger race outside to see watch his fight.

SHELLBY
For being so anti-cop he's sure hamming this up.

EVE
Someone tell him to just wrap it up.

Shannon does more shooting before posing. Mechaman joins the fray and blasts Shannon. He leaps  up to the top of a tower. Mechaman and some grunts await him to come down. Mechaman decides  to help out by blasting him again. Shannon runs down the side of the tower blasting away on his foes  on the ground. Mechaman dances around trying to avoid being hit as Shannon lands in front of him.

MECHAMAN
You won't finish me!

Mechaman fires again but Shannon pulls off a spin kick avoiding the energy blast and nailing the  alien. The other rangers rush on to the scene.

AVERY
Someone stop him already!

PHILLIP
Wait, he may just capture the guy.

AVERY
No!

Shannon combines his guns.

SHANNON
Hybrid magnum!

The weapon energizes as Mechaman fears the end.

SHANNON (CONT'D)
This is for Dr. Mitchell!

An energy blast erupts from the weapon annihilating Mechaman. His parts falls in a pile of junk  behind Shannon. The Dekaranger regroup around Shannon.

AVERY
You just blew up the guy who killed my dad!

SHANNON
Well I got a little carried away with the guns I guess.

SHELLBY
No Shannon, we wanted to catch him.

Avery slugs Shannon, knocking him down. He gets up and retaliates. The two squirm around trying  to kill each other.

PHILLIP
Maybe all is not lost.

The two stop battling to hear this.

PHILLIP (CONT'D)
If this thing was a robot, we can hack its brain...it's memory.

Shannon's alarm on his license goes off.

SHANNON
What else is going wrong?

AVERY
Move it!

The Dekaranger take off sprinting back toward the SPD campus.

The Dekaranger don't have far to go as an huge EXPLOSION occurs offscreen as we fade out.
