"A THUNDER 4TH"
-=- It's the 4th of July and the members of AFPR are celebrating. There's plenty of food, fun and "Psycho Lemonade."
_____________________________________________
-=- Meanwhile...
Mesogog: Look at those pathetic Newsgroup Rangers.
Elsa: My lord, I believe I have exactly what you're looking for. I present -- Barbetron!
Barbetron: Let's get this party started!
Mesogog: And what's so special about him?!
Elsa: I believe you'll find he has a very _explosive_ personality.
Mesogog: Yeeesssss...
_____________________________________________
ShyRanger: What a great day for a 4th of July BBQ. Anyone want anymore Psycho Lemonade?
Jen: Stop calling it that!
ShyRanger: Uhh, but that's what it's called! (points to container)
-=- The psycho members roll their eyes.
-=- Suddenly, Barbetron teleports via a green portal.
Barbetron: Hello newsgroup!
Aaron Thall: Oh great, another holiday monster attack. Don't they ever learn?
Barbetron: Tyrannodrones!
-=- Fights with Tyrannodrones ensue but the AFPR members fend 'em off.
ShyRanger: Ready guys?
Brad and Jen: Ready!
Barbetron: Bring it on!
Shy, B and Jen: ShyThunder, Power Up! Ha!
-=- The ShyThunder Rangers begin to fight Barbetron, gaining the upper hand...
Barbetron: You won't win that easily!
-=- Barbetron releases his own attacks on the Rangers...
ShyRanger: All right, Super Shy Mode!
-=- Shy and Brad tackle the monster and Jen flies in and knocks him away.
Brad: Let's finish him off!
Barbetron: I don't think so!
-=- The Rangers attempt to use the Shy-Rex Blaster, but Barbetron bounces the energy back at the Rangers, sending
them tumbling and demorphing.
Brad: Damn...
Jen (catching breath): We've... never... fought a monster that tough before.
ShyRanger: We can beat him guys. We just need--
-=- ShyRanger gets cut off as a swarm of Tyrannos throw a net on the Rangers and surround them.
Barbetron: You're coming with me!
_____________________________________________
-=- The Rangers soon find themselves in some sort of holding area.
Zeltrax: Mesogog wants you kept here until he figures out what to do with you. There's a force field around here, so
you're friends won't be able to find you. Barbetron, you come with me.
Barbetron: Hahaha! Later, ShyLosers.
Brad: (looking around): We gotta get outta here.
Jen: Can't we just use the ShyStreak?
ShyRanger: ShyStreak?? That was SO last season.
-=- Jen tries grabbing one of the bars, but gets electrocuted.
ShyRanger: JEN!
Brad: Lamer.
ShyRanger: I'll call for help. (taps morpher) Come in, AFPR! AFPR, do you copy? Come in!
-=- The morpher gives a dead tone.
Jen (disappointed): No one knows were here.
ShyRanger: I'm sure they must be looking for us by now.
_____________________________________________
-=- Meanwhile, at Headquarters....
MegaSilver (addressing many newsgroup members): To put it simply -- We can't find them.
Burgundy Ranger: According to reports, they disappeared in the monster fight. Wherever they are, they aren't
showing up on the scanners.
Ryan: I'll look around the Shy Lab and see if I can find anything.
Burg: Right. Silver and I will continue to check incoming reports and the scanners.
-=- Everyone hurries off. Soon, Ryan enters the lab...
_____________________________________________
-=- Ryan looks around and something catches his eye...
Ryan: Oooo, shiny... (Goes in for a closer look...) Whoa! A Black Shy Gem!
-=- Picks up the gem and it forms a wristband on his wrist.
-=- Ryan grins with inspiration as he raises his arm and calls out, "Black Ranger, Juradic Power!"
-=- The new Black Ranger hops on his ShyRaptor and heads off.
_____________________________________________
Ryan: Okay, their must be someway to find them. (ponders) The morphers must be connected somehow. (pause)
ShyScan activate!
-=- Ryan's helmet beings searching for the other 3... In mere moments it beeps with the spot they're located.
Ryan: Yes! Got it! (raises morpher) Guys, I've located them! They're in a dungeon near Mesogog's lair!
Burg: There must be a force field around it, which is why we weren't able to locate 'em.
Dagmar: How did you find them, anyway?
Ryan: I'll explain later. Right now, I'm headed over there. I'll call if I need backup.
_____________________________________________
-=- Soon...
Ryan: All right, I'm in. Now let's see... (looks around) Guys! Hey, guys!
Jen: Hey! ...What?... Another Ranger?
Brad: You didn't say anything about a Black one!
ShyRanger: I see you found the Black Gem, Clipster.
Ryan: Heh heh, yep. But for right now, let's get outta here!
-=- Ryan opens the cage door, but then Zeltrax enters with Tyrannodrones.
Zeltrax: You're not going anywhere.
Ryan: I think it's ass-kickin' time.
-=- Shy, Brad and Jen stand in front of Ryan with their helmets, as ShyRanger calls out, "Back to action!"
-=- The Rangers fight the baddies and quickly escape via a portal on the ShyRaptors.
_____________________________________________
-=- Back near AFPR Headquarters...
ShyRanger: All right, we made it back!
-=- Suddenly, Barbetron enters...
Barbetron: Did you forget about me Rangers?
Jen: Here we go again.
Barbetron: Bombs away!
ShyRanger: Weapons!
-=- The Rangers fight off the attacks with their weapons and soon get the upper hand.
Ryan: Shy Dragon Staff -- Energy Orb -- Engage! (pause) Fire!
Brad: Now for real this time... Let's finish him off!
ShyRanger: Shy-Rex Blaster! Fire!
-=- Barbetron is destroyed.
_____________________________________________
Mesogog: Fools! Don't just stand there... Make your monster grow!
Elsa: Of course, my lord! (pause) Activating Hydro Regenerator...
Ryan: Now we've got even bigger problems!
-=- Shy, Jen and B raise their left arms and call for "ShyThunderzord Power, now!"
-=- Barbetron quickly gets the upper hand on the ShyThunder Megazord, with his explosive attacks.
ShyRanger: AHHHH! We need help!
Dagmar: Mind if we cut in?
-=- Dag, Eileen, Wolf and PB join the fight in the Psycho Megazord...
Dagmar: Psycho Spin!
Brad: Now's our chance!
ShyRanger: Megazord Saber, full power!
-=- Barbetron is destroyed... for good.

-=- AFPR resumes the festivities, feeling good after defeating the monster.
