Scene 1: Urbana City College Administration Building. JB and Jason head over to registration table. A woman is sitting at a desk.

The woman: Hello young men. Are the two of you here to register?

JB and Jason blush at the beauty.

JB: You seem a little young to be working behind a stuffy old desk.

The Woman: Oh. I guess I am. I 'm 24. Anyway, enough about me. I am hoping the two of you register.

Jason and JB: Uh hun. (nodding)

The woman: Good. Just give me the schedules that you two worked out and I'll get you in.

Jason: Thanks.

The Woman goes to a computer behind her and begins to type. JB and Jason talk low to themselves.

JB: She is cute. I think I am glad I am here after all this.

Jason: So am I. But . . .

JB: Still hung up on Emily, huh.

Jason (looking at JB in shock): How did you know?

JB: Easy. I could tell by the way you talked to her the other day.

Jason: I can not believe I am a Ranger again.

JB: I am surprised to be one. I guess that is one thing about growing up- there are always more surprises.

Jason: You're telling me. I am just glad I had the money for this.

JB: Me too. Majoring in business is something I wanted to do.

Jason: Me, I went from Martial Arts student to a management major. Not exactly an easy decision.

The woman at the desk: What are you two boys chatting about? I hope it is not me but if it is, I hope its good.

JB: It's all good as far as you are concerned.

The woman: What?

JB (smirking): Nothing.

The woman gives the registration sheet to Jason then JB grabs his with her still attached. The woman whispers in her ear.

The woman: I am off at seven tonight and eight tomorrow. Come by and see me. The name is Missy.

JB (blushing): I will.

Jason and JB walk off. JB has a big smile on his face.

Scene 2: Dark Moon Headquarters.

Avery and Prisma are ganging up on Katsy. Birdie is sitting quietly.

Avery (sarcastic): Good job Katsy. You really showed those Rangers.

Prisma (sarcastic): Oh yes Katsy. You are really the best warrior of all of us here. I bow to your supremacy.

Katsy: Shut up!! Both of you! I don't see the two of you giving me a hand.

Avery: I didn't see you give much help to your monster.

Prisma (arms on hips) : You wasted a monster with your foolish games. (She is now right in front of Katsy's face)

Katsy: Don't get in my face little sister. It might get clawed off.

Prisma: Oh you mean like the Rangers.

Rubius appears above them, floating.

Rubius: Enough!!! This arguing is counter productive.

The four sisters: Rubius!

Birdie: Hello Rubius.

Rubius: Birdie . . .(sarcastically) Girls!

The three girls bow their heads.

Rubius: We need to hit the Rangers where they hurt now. It is nearly time for the wave. We must be ready.

Birdie: Easier said that done from Katsy's mission.

Avery: Birdie, the Rangers are easy to defeat if you know how.

Katsy: Are you stating that you can do a better job than me? (Crossing her hands)

Avery: Hey! You said it, I didn't.

Rubius: Are we to assume that you have a plan Avery?

Avery: Of course Rubius. I always do.

Prisma: Well . . .I have a plan too.

Rubius: I am sure you do Prisma but it is not your turn yet.

Prisma turns her face away from Rubius as Katsy laughs.

Katsy: Oh poor Prisma.

Rubius: Prisma is doing far better than you, Katsy.

Katsy bowed her head in shame.

Rubius: So What is this plan of yours? (Walking behind Avery)

Avery: The college has a local Registration drive today. We are gonna crash it.

Prisma: What good will that do?

Avery: A little chaos can go a long way if you get the idea right.

Rubius (sighs in intrigue): What do you mean?

Avery: We know who three of the Rangers are. We find out the other two and then make things difficult.

Katsy: What do you mean? I know the entire team.

Avery: But are you sure you know who those last two are? Plus, getting their names will be a help to us.

Rubius: I like that idea. Avery, get to work.

Avery: I will but before I do, I need a monster.

Rubius: who?

Avery: Black Goat.

Black Goat appears. Black Goat looks like Robogoat but instead of being white, he is black with Red eyes and a gold plate on his

chest. In the middle of the chest plate is a black crescent moon, the symbol of the Dark Moon.

Rubius: I like this plan. Get to work.

Avery: As you wish Rubius.

Katsy and Prisma look at Avery with anger and jealousy.

Scene 3: Urbana City College- Dorms.

Emily enters the hallway of the girls dormitory in Urbana City College. She carries two back packs and holds two suitcases.

Kitta opens the door of their new home.

Kitta: hey girl, glad you could make it.

Emily: Thanks. I am glad that you decided to share a room with me.

Kitta: No problem. Just put your stuff on that side.

Emily walks to the other side of their dorm apartment that is almost completely empty except for the bed and closet. Emily puts

her stuff down.

Emily: man, I can't believe it. I am a college student and a Power Ranger in one week.

Kitta: Excited about that.

Emily: Of course. School is gonna be great and this place looks . . .

Kitta (shaking her head): I mean our Ranger team.

Emily: I . . .it is okay.

Kitta: You're still bugged about Jason.

Emily: Of course I am bugged about Jason. Jason lied to me.

Kitta: emily . . .

Emily (raising hand out): Don't start okay? I just got here. I need time okay.

Kitta: All right but you can't avoid Jason forever. He is our teammate and whether you like it or not, he is a Ranger again.

Emily starts putting her things away. Emily sighs in sadness.

-----

Scene 4: UCC's fountain, outside one of the main school halls. Jason and JB sit down, waiting.

JB: I hope Ryo and the girls get here soon.

Jason: I know. We have a lot to discuss.

JB: You and the team or you and Emily.

Jason (turning to face JB): The team. Emily. both. I am not sure.

JB: I know it is hard to keep a secret identity but you have to wait for Emily to open up more before talking to her.

Jason: I know but this is ridiculous. I know I lied but I couldn't help it. It is part of the oath when we become Rangers.

JB: So I have been told. I just hope we get all this stuff behind us or we'll never defeat who we are suppose to defeat in time.

Jason: What do you mean?

JB: Look at the team. You and Emily are at other ends and Ryo doesn't even want to be on this team. It makes me wonder why

he is the one to lead us.

Jason: Ryo has his own issues that no one really knows about just yet.

Ryo (walking up from behind them) : And those issues are mine to deal with.

Jason and JB turn around to see the new leader of their team, Ryo.

Jason: Listen we didn't mean . . .

Ryo: This is partly why I don't want this team. I work better alone.

Jason and JB were about to argue when Emily and Kitta stroll in.

Kitta and Emily: Hey guys!

Emily does not even look at Jason.

jason: Hi Emily.

JB: Hi girls!

Ryo: emily! Kitta.

Behind a tree not too far from them, Avery appears watching them talk.

Avery: Now to cause a little ruckus. Lunariods.

A small squadron of Lunariods appear. Avery points at the five young adults.

Avery: I want you to fight those five there. Hell, make some trouble and attack everyone but especially those two girls and the

guy with long hair.

The Lunariods nod in acceptance of their commands.

Kitta: So where do we meet the Ancient Ryo.

Ryo: You know he'll find us but somewhere in the park.

JB: Then we'd better get going.

The Lunariods attack some people, and head straight for the Rangers.

Emily: Look! (pointing at the Lunariods) The Lunariods.

JB: let's get to work.

The five Rangers go into defensive positions while the Lunariods get closer.

{CM Break}

----

Scene 5: The Celestial Rangers fight in front of the fountain.

- Enemies Beware comes on- music*

Jason: So these are the Lunariods.

JB: We can't morph in front of everyone.

Ryo: Then we don't.

Kitta: Let's go.

All: Right!

The five run at the Lunariods. Each of them taking one on. They all fight successfully as Avery watches them. Avery smiles as

she finds out everyone's names. She knows who the Rangers are. That knowledge could prove extremely useful She thinks.

_music fades out_

Jason: What was that all about?

Kitta: I am not sure but this isn't good.

Emily: We'd better get going.

Avery (from behind the tree): I don't think so! Black Goat, get to work!!!

The Black Goat appears, attacking other students of the college. The five look but Ryo runs off after the monster, preparing to fight.

Kitta: Ryo, wait!!!

Jason: What is with that guy?

JB: He's gonna get himself killed.

Avery steps out of the trees.

Avery: I would worry about yourselves.

Emily: Who are you?

Avery: My name is Avery. I am one of the Dark Moon Sisters.

Kitta: So you are actually related to Katsy? What a weird family.

Avery: My family has little to do with your survival. Black Goat will destroy anything and anyone.

JB: What do you want?

Avery (laughs evilly): Why you dummy. All of you.

Avery teleports out.

Ryo is fighting against the Black Goat but is not doing well. Black Goat kicks Ryo then slams him with the Goat Staff. Ryo lies on

the ground when the others come.

Black Goat: More Rangers to play with.

Jason: You are going down.

Black Goat: How can you stop me without revealing your Ranger identities?

Emily: Simple . . .no body is here but us. You scared everyone away.

Black Goat looks around. All the people have vanished.

Kitta: Celestial Blast!

All the Rangers, except Ryo do the morphing sequence.

Emily: White Star Celestial Power!

JB: Blue Heaven Celestial Power!

Kitta: Pink Sun Celestial Power!

Jason: Black Void Celestial Power!

All 4 CL Rangers pose.

All four: Power Rangers!!

The Black Goat prepares to fight but then hears Avery in the back of his mind.

Avery's voice: Not yet.

The Black Goat turns to the Rangers.

Black Goat: Another time Rangers. (teleports out)

The other Rangers go to Ryo. Emily helps him up but pushes her away.

Emily: Hey! I was only trying to help.

Ryo: Save it for someone who does.

Jason: That was uncalled for man.

Ryo: Listen, we are wasting time. Let's go to see the Ancient.

The four other Rangers Power Down , then walk off to their meeting place.

----

Scene 6: A top one of the UCC buildings. Avery and Black Goat prepare strategies.

Avery: Good. They fell for it.

Black Goat: When do I get to pound on them?

Avery: Soon enough. We'll wait for the right moment.

Black Goat: As you wish. (bowing to Avery)

{CM Break}

----

Scene 7: At the south end of the park. All the Rangers are gathered there. They all look around, hoping to find the Ancient.

JB: Where is he?

Kitta: He'll show up. He always does.

Emily: I hope it is soon. That monster is still loose.

Ryo: Exactly. If he is not here in five minutes, I am gone.

The Ancient's voice: You are never the patient man are you Ryo.

Jason: Ancient One.

The Ancient appears from behind a tree next to Kitta. The Rangers look at him amazed.

JB: Whoa! That's incredible. Is there some door in that tree?

The Ancient: No. But I do have something for you. Your new headquarters.

Jason: I was wondering when we'd have a place to set up shop.

Ryo: This is a waste of time.

The Ancient: Ryo, this is not a waste of time. Now, Silence yourself for the time being.

Ryo shuts up as the Ancient One walks with the Rangers. . . leading them outside of town in an abandon factory.

Scene 8: Old Factory- the New Power Base.

The Ancient leads them to a room that is the command center of the factory with a few computers and other things.

The Ancient: This is your new base. You have rooms and can set this up as you wish.

JB looks around in excitement.

JB: This is great. Our own base.

Jason: Cool. But what do we do for zords if we need them.

Kitta: That is right. All the other Ranger teams have Zords. What about us?

The Ancient: When the time comes, your zords will be ready. (turns and starts walking away)

Emily: But when?

The Ancient disappears in the darkness behind the Rangers in their new base.

Jason: We'd better get back.

-----

Scene 9: Back in UCC later that afternoon. The female Rangers are settling in their dorm.

Emily (putting stuff away): I am so tired.

Kitta (hanging clothes): You think this is bad, wait till the Ancient gets us back into full training.

Emily: Full training. Great. This is all I need.

Kitta: So . . .are you gonna avoid Jason forever or what.

Emily (looking at her): Don't start that again.

Kitta; You can't keep avoid him. You two need to work this out.

Emily (sigh): I don't know. Not yet.

Black Goat crashes through their window in their dorm room.

Black Goat: Hello ladies. Time to be destroyed.

Kitta and Emily go into defensive stances. Girls in the dorm start running screaming. Black Goat fights the two.

---

Scene 10: Outside the dorm- Running girls screaming as the other three guys see them.

Jason: That's Emily and Kitta's dorm.

JB (pointing at the broken window): That window . . .that's the girls room.

Ryo: Let's go.

The boys run but are stopped by Avery and her whip.

Avery (trashing whip): Not so fast boys!

---

Back upstairs in the dorm room, Kitta and Emily are fighting the Black Goat. Black goat is overpowering them.

Kitta (looking at Emily): Let's do this.

Emily (nodding): Right! Celestial Blast!!!

The two slam their left morpher sparkers to the right!

Emily: White Star Celestial Power!!

Kitta: Pink Sun Celestial Power!!

The two became the Pink and Yellow CL Rangers.

Pink CL Ranger: Games up Goat!!

The two Rangers kick the Black Goat out of the window. The two morphed CL Rangers joined their male counterparts.

White CL Ranger: High guys! We need a little help.

Jason: Right! Let's do it guys!

Ryo: Celestial Blast!

Jason: Black Void Celestial Power!

JB: Blue Heaven Celestial power!

Ryo: Red Comet Celestial Power!

The three males transformed into their designated CL Ranger colors.

Red CL Ranger: Comet Starfire Thrust!!!

Red Ranger gained a whole whip of fire and energy around his swinging arm. He turns to the Black Goat and shoots it at him, striking a powerful blow to it. Black Goat gets up and fires beams at it then charges at the Rangers. All the Rangers fight him but are knocked down by the evil Goat monster. Avery joins in, whipping the Blue and White CL Rangers.

Blue CL Ranger: I am getting tired of these guys.

White CL Ranger: So am I. Star Bomb Punch.

White CL Ranger hold as star bomb in her hand and does basically what Andros does with his Power Punch in PRiS to Black

Goat and Avery. The five Rangers strike at Black Goat. Blue and Black first, then Pink and White and lastly, Red with a double kick.

All: Power Rangers hyia!!

Avery gets up. She turns around, revealing a strobe staff with a Dark Moon Symbol on it.

Avery: I had it with you Rangers. ( aiming the strobe staff at Black Goat) Black Goat, time to grow!!!

Black Energy from the staff makes Black Goat Megazord size. black Goat fires at them.

Black Goat: Try and get me now!!

Black CL Ranger: We need a Megazord and fast.

The Ancient's voice: Rangers, concentrate your power and the Guardian will come.

Red CL Ranger: That's it! Rangers in a circle.

All the Rangers formed a circle and concentrated their power. Then the words slip out of Red Rangers mouth.

Red CL Ranger: Guardian Zord Power! Now!

Out of the blue, two tank like zords and a jet comes in. (The Guardian Zords look like the mechas from Fiveman, Fiverobo) Red jumped in the air. Black and White shared one tank while the other two Rangers shared the last Zord.

The Rangers attacked with their Zord separately but Black Goat was winning.

Black CL Ranger: We can't take much more of this.

Blue CL Ranger: He's right.

Pink CL Ranger: We have to form the Megazord.

Red CL Ranger: Fine. Celestial Guardian Megazord transform- now.

With that the two tanks began to morph. Black and White Ranger's Zord split in two, becoming the arms. Pink and Blue's was becoming the legs and torso. Red became the body and head. They linked up.

All the Celestial Rangers: Celestial Guardian Power Up!!

Black Goat: So what if you got a transformer. I will still destroy you.

Black Goat fired beams at the Rangers. The Ranger steadied the control of Celestial Guardian enough. Celestial Guardian and Black Goat them battled against each other. The two going blow for blow.

Red CL Ranger: i am getting tired of this guy.

Black CL Ranger: So am I.

Black CL Ranger moved the controls for the Celestial Guardian to twin punch Black Goat. Pink followed with a kick. Red Ranger took command.

Red CL Ranger: Celestial Saber On-line!

-music from when Andros had performed the first Power Punch on the AstroDeltaMegaZord plays.-

The sword goes through grids and comes to the hands of the Celestial Guardian. Celestial Guardian slashes Black Goat twice.

Black Goat: No, ugh!

Red CL Ranger: Games up Goat! Star Slash!!!

JB: That is good.

Ryo looks outside. Jason goes to him.

Jason: You in deep thought.

Ryo: Something is up. I can feel it.
