Korean movies that never get old or boring...

The Host. I love this movie soooo so much. I've had this movie since it came out on DVD. One of the funniest, yet, the most ridiculous movies ever.

Those of you who haven't seen it should. So, here's a full plot of the movie, and I mean, I'm going to give you a full plot.

The film opens with an American military pathologist commanding a reluctant Korean assistant to violate protocol by dumping over 100 bottles of formaldehyde down the drain, which leads to the Han River. A few years later, two men are standing and fishing in Han River when one discovers a mutant amphibian which is never shown. He releases the palm-sized creature when it bites him. Four more years later, a man commits suicide by jumping off a bridge into Han River, but not before noticing that there's "something dark, underwater."

In the present day, Park Gang-du (Song Kang-ho) is a seemingly slow-witted man (his father claims he had been that way since a hit on the head many years earlier) who runs a snack-bar with his father, Hee-bong (Byeon Hee-bong). Hyun-seo (Ko Ah-seong) is a schoolgirl and Gang-du's daughter. Gang-du's sister, Nam-joo (Bae Doona), is a national medalist archer who has an unfortunate tendency to hesitate, and his brother Nam-il (Park Hae-il) is an alcoholic former activist who has not done much since graduating from university.

Gang-du is delivering a meal to some patrons, and sees a crowd gathering along Han River. He joins them as they stand near the side of the river and point at something under the Wonhyo Bridge. It is the creature, now grown. It drops into the water, and moves towards shore. Gang-du throws a can of beer into the water near it, and the creature grabs for the can. The other people nearby then begin to playfully toss other pieces of food to it, but the creature disappears from view. A few moments later, the creature appears on shore behind them, and begins to attack and devour people. Gang-du and an American man try to fight the creature, and successfully hit it with a street sign. The creature then bites off the American's arm. As Gang-du runs away, he sees Hyun-seo emerge from the snack bar and grabs her hand without stopping. He then stumbles and unwittingly grabs a different girl. A short distance away, he looks back and sees the creature pull Hyun-seo into the river. Gang-du then sees the monster dragging her on the opposite bank before disappearing into the water.

As the family mourns the young girl in a shelter set up for victims of the attack, government representatives in yellow bio-hazard suits arrive and demand to know who has had direct contact with the creature. Gang-du admits that he has, and the family is forced to the hospital, where Gang-du is quarantined. The Korean government announces that the creature is not only a direct danger, but also the host of a deadly, unknown virus that they claim killed the American whose arm had been bitten off. Gang-du receives a phone call from Hyun-seo, who is not dead, but trapped in a sewer. She is cut off as her cellphone battery runs out. Gang-du tries to explain to others, but his explanation sounds more insane than sane to the people at the hospital. Hee-bong believes his son, and uses up his life savings so that they can escape from the hospital and rescue Hyun-seo. They are then able to obtain a truck, two non-yellow hazmat suits, weapons, and a map of the sewer system around the Han River.

The family search the sewers to no avail. They return to their snack stand at the banks of the Han river to rest for the night. They wake to find the creature watching them. Hee-bong fires on the creature, causing it to attack them and overturn the snack stand. As the creature tries to get at them inside, Hee-bong fires a shot that causes the creature to flee. Hee-bong, Gang-du & Nam-il give chase, firing wildly. Hee-bong is eventually killed by the creature, and Gang-du is captured by soldiers; Nam-il and Nam-joo escape but are separated.

In the hospital, Gang-du overhears that there is no virus: the government is merely perpetuating a charade to save face. The American scientist who lets out the secret claims that Gang-du is infected in the brain. A team of doctors perform a frontal lobotomy on Gang-du. Afterwards, a nurse mocks the seemingly brain-damaged and unresponsive Gang-du. He suddenly takes her hostage with a syringe full of his "infected" blood, his "slow-wittedness" apparently cured by the lobotomy, and escapes to find that he is not in a hospital, but the back of a military truck on the Han River shores. He drives to Wonhyo Bridge in an ambulance.

Hyun-seo has been trapped in a deep sewer pit since she was spit out by the creature. The creature periodically drops off victims into the pit, to store for later. Hyun-seo finds all the others dead or dying except for a young street urchin named Se-ju. Nam-il goes to a college friend for help, and traces Hyun-seo's phone call. He is betrayed for reward money, but cleverly escapes. Before losing consciousness under a bridge, he sends a text message with Hyun-seo's location to Nam-joo. Nam-Joo goes to the bridge, but comes across the creature. She is near enough that she has a shot, but just as she has the creature in her sights, she hesitates. The creature runs past her and she is knocked unconscious. Hyun-seo tries to climb out of the sewer by a rope fashioned from her and other victims' clothes, but the creature snatches her and places her back on her feet. The camera cuts to black as the creature pounces on her and Se-ju.

Gang-du discovers the feeding pit only in time to see the creature dashing away with a child's arm dangling from its mouth. He chases it on land as it dives into the river. Nam-il wakes to see a homeless man who has been tending to him, and with the man's help and liquor, he makes several Molotov cocktails and together they take a taxi to the Wonhyo Bridge. Nam-joo also awakes. She sees the creature and Gang-du run past her and follows them. The three siblings are led to the riverbank, where the creature attacks demonstrators protesting the government's use of Agent Yellow - a chemical weapon highly harmful to humans - against the creature (and non-existent virus). Police press back the demonstrators, trying to hold them back. The crowd finally disperses as the creature comes near to the shoreline. All three siblings meet up briefly on top of the bridge, but Gang-Du leaps from the bridge to chase the creature.

Agent Yellow is released and incapacitates the creature temporarily. Pushing through the poisonous fumes, Gang-du pulls out the two seemingly lifeless children from the creature's mouth. Hyun-Seo had grabbed the other child and had avoided being fully swallowed by grabbing onto a large tooth but the three siblings discover she has died. The creature revives and tries to return to the river. Enraged, Gang-du grabs a street sign and begins to battle the creature. Nam-il also begins to throw Molotov cocktails at it that he had prepared previously. The creature, apparently terrified of fire, continues to flee. The homeless man whom Nam-il met appears and douses the creature in gasoline, but Nam-il accidentally drops his last bottle as he attempts to throw. Nam-joo picks up one of the lit fragments with her arrow and shoots it into the creature's eye, causing it to burst into flames, screaming in agony. The creature makes a last attempt to flee towards the protection of the river, but Gang-du finally impales it with a street sign.

As Nam-joo and Nam-il cradle their dead niece, Gang-du manages to revive Se-ju. In the epilogue, we see Gang-du and Se-ju living as a family in the rebuilt and cozy-looking snack bar, sometime in the winter. One night Gang-du believed he saw something move outside. He gets his rifle but then sets it down, believing it was his imagination. A televised US Senate press release - claiming that the Korean "disease crisis" was caused by "misinformation" - is drowned out by their conversation. The child asks him to turn it off, as he finds it boring, and they eat dinner.

I have nearly killed this movie just watching it over and over and over and over and over again.

Everything about this movie makes you wonder WTF!! and just have a good laugh about it. The characters, especially Gang du, the main character, the dumbest of them all. He is just, how can I say. Stupid, but that's what makes him so funny.

I love the dad in this movie, he is the most funniest of them all eventhough he doesn't really do much, especially Nam il... and the sister, Nam joo, the slowest of them all. That makes up the most loser family of all.

Want to talk about a great director, Boon Joon Ho is one of the greatest for a horror/somewhat comedy type of film. I've seen his previous works and yet, with the same cast, and this one is the best ever.

Untitled Poem #1

Wish I was never here, this life of mine, I don't care
Sit with my head down in the cradled position, knife firmly in my hand
Tears pouring like rain, blood kept still on my wrist
If I died I won't be missed.
Because I am hated, my life is ill-fated,
Constantly being ignored
I hate my life, I hate this soul, this body created and borrowed
So distant, yet I'd rather I was dead, even my family doesn't care
The one favorite I've chosen has been pulled away
This black void has emptied, sorrow has returned once again.

I've been feeling highly fatigued lately...

Mood: fatigued Listening to: XodiacK - Kimi no koe

It is as if I'm going to pass out or something. I don't know. I've tried seeing if it was me being tired or something but, I look at my spinning mood ring and it's been black for a while and it's not me being tired at all. Yesterday, I'd been feeling like my heart is pushing hard to keep me stable. This all started after I finished up with making these fanmail runs to Hikaru Utada and feeling encouraged by everyone here.

Again, I don't know what it is. I have nearly $200 but, I'm saving it for something more, eventhough I still need to get checked up at a doctors office or clinic. I'm going to continue to fight this off no matter what. But, I may have some kind of illness that keeps making my heart feel so heavy all the time.

I have fought it for so long, I guess this is a sign, saying that my body is ready to give in... but whenever I'm ready.

If only there was some kind of way I could put myself in cryogenetic sleep, I'd do it. Maybe then, when I wake up years after, I'd feel better. I slept, waking up, feeling really weakened.

November 1st, 2008 Just thought I'd share an random entry from my journal

Well, like wisely... so much for family. My oldest sister, Kelly, she's been here since September and well, I've gotten the thought that she is my ticket out of this hellhole, but apparently, her fiance's parents are supposed to be looking for a place for them in Philadelphia until they get their own place. Once that happens, I'm stuck here AGAIN for the "fifteen hundredth" time.

What is so wrong that I can't even take my own life? I've tried slicing my wrist open plenty of times and more, I even pushed down hard as hell to the point where's that I could feel the pain while doing so. I went fast and I went slow, but the outcome is always the same. No scar, no nothing, not even a single drop or sight of blood. I HATE living. Between writing this shit and thinking about it makes me want to burst out in tears.

Wendy thinks that she's going to keep me here likw a prisoner, she'd better think again. Kelly on the otherhand, I'd love the thought of her taking me in, so comes the time I get back onto my feet and well, basically get out in the world. I really don't like thinking about it because I love my niece, Callise to death and want to play every part of it. I don't want to miss a single event. It already came down to the fact that I baby herr but, I wouldn't say that. It's called being an uncle. In my case, one of the best.

I no longer want to be the outsider, but it's permanent. A permanent characteristic, personalized with pain, and sorrow, endlessly.

"Moments of dejection drops us into a pool of loneliness
The soul pulls back, and mourns alone. Nothing seems to hold against the drop,
and yet, everything counts for nothing.
We feel ourselves curiously depersonalized, very far away. Exiled.
No connection anywhere. The spirit of loneliness has taken over.
We have become mere numbers, isolated with an emotion,
symptomatic of victimization.
We are victims of a wrong way of life."

There is no simple word of defining me but there is a name.... Aria Of Sorrow. That's my name.

WHAT is TrUE HAPPINESS

True happiness is a feeling
It spreads like a disease.
There was a time when I found it
But, I lost it with ease.

True happiness is an emotion
Sometimes it means nothing to me.
I have always been a loner
An emotion I sometimes don't need.

This poem. turned into negativety
To care less is what I do.
True happiness is nothing
It isn't even true.

Here's a thought on a piece of my research. How do you detect emotions?

A couple of years ago, I did research on emotions eventhough I already knew so much about it but here is what I stumbled upon during that time...

"Americans detect a person's emotions by looking at his or her mouth, says a new study. Other cultures, like the Japanese focus more on the eyes."

Isn't that quite interesting or what?

I don't focus on the mouth, I focus on the eyes but, at the same time, I can read emotions through words too. Be it typed or spoken. Spoken words, I can sometimes look behind the sound of a persons voice, but that doesn't mean I'm focusing on the mouth. It's sound.

Here is a fun way to make up your own Japanese Name, but by the letters in your own name...

A = ka, B = zu, C = mi, D = te, E = ku, F = lu = G = ji, H = ri, I = ki, J = zu, K = me, L = ta, M = rin, N = to, O = mo, P = no, Q = ke, R = shi, S = ari, T = chi,U = do, V = ru, W = mei, X = na, Y = fu, Z = zi

Description: The tenth of the zodiac of Native American astrology, the Crow people are born entrepreneurs and are charming by nature. The ravens can be well relied upon for all kind of ideas and opinions, as they are not only realistic but also diplomatic. These people are always full of energy and remain active throughout the day. If you are a Crow individual, then you are born at the 'Time of Falling Leaves'. Crow people have certain distinctions and peculiarities of their own - like, the direction which suit you people the best is Southwest; and it is the West winds that brings you luck and your conventional totem animal is the grizzly bear. As far as your emotions are concerned, you are sensitive; justice is one of the most important factors for you people and you always try to be fair and just in all your dealings. Injustice and dishonesty are something that is not tolerated by the Ravens at any cost. You folks are basically friendly, good-natured individual and have a charming and an appealing approach; romantic, idealistic and diplomatic are the keywords, ich describes you best. What require attention are your determination, perseverance, inspiration and your impartiality. You feel likfe is all about harmonizing and thus the Crow people always try to bring harmony and balance in whatever they do.

[Recap of Last Chapter/Episode...]

[Inside the Main Office. We hear the sound of a door opening as Commander Takarai, troubled, leaps to his feet.]

Takarai: (surprised) Rangers! I'm so glad to see that you all have made it in one piece.

[Amami and Shinji walk Kamui to a seat, and help him sit down as the others seat themselves.]

Takarai: What happened to the Lieutenant?

Kamui: It's a long story. I was captured by one of Lord Tahmazians outlanders while Squad Zero was in training. (to Squad Zero) By the way guys and girls, what happened while I was gone?

Amami: Couldn't really figure it out but, it seemed like the entire facility had evacuated. There were no survivors to be located.

Shinji: And, we fought off an army of Outlanders inside the exercise area, Miko and I.

Amami: Meanwhile, we got into it with Zanuff and his sister, Zedekiah. By the way Lieutenant, are we still in training, by any chance?

Kamui: I don't know, just yet. You might have been monitored throughout surveillance. (pulls up sleeve, revealing watch) Let me check. (to watch) Testing Ground surveillance!

[A hologram is present upon the device with a lot of information and data. An image is present upon an LCD screen, nearest the Commanders desk, revealing previous events of earlier, showing everything that happened after the short abduction of Lieutenant Kamui and comes to a pause after the battle between the rangers and the villainous siblings with Zanuff and Amami shaking hands.]

Kamui: (facing Squad Zero) I must say, I'm quite impressed with all of you. You did a great job, despite the simulations. This is something -more- realistic. (to Miko) You are quite skilled but could use a tad bit of work on your skills as a kunoichi, -if- a highly trained lady ninja is your entitlement. (to Maki) Precious Maki, my precious, you could use some more training if you want to become a strong ranger. (to the Halseth Brothers) Need I say anything about the two of you? You two are by far inseparable. It seems that when the two of you are together, you are an unstoppable force. This is what I call team work, but, you -could- help out your new teammates a little.

Shinji: But of course we -are- brothers.

Amami: That is why Squad -Zero- is unbeatable.

Kamui: To make matters more simple, I believe you all have a job to do. Your training is over for now, but you have a long way to go. (to Amami) By the way, Amami, I have someone you'd like to meet. (to Miko) I'm sure Miko doesn't have a problem?

[Inside Lord Tahmazian's Lair. Inside, Lord Tahmazian walks to his throne room, as Zanuff and Zedekiah follow.]

Tahmazian: (outraged) I can't -believe- you let those idiots lives. And what's this? (turns to Zanuff and shakes hand, scoffing, making a mockery) Hey there, Red Ranger, wanna be friends? Let's shake hands. Pfft! (turns away and continues walking to throne room) What was that all about? I oughta kick you back to Mars.

Zedekiah: (cosigning) Yeah! I'd say. And besides, I'm no sucker to friendship.

Tahmazian: (entering throne room and sitting upon throne) Yeah, sure.

Monsoon (O.S.): Tahmazian, my lord. (approaches the throne) Your son has ceased his dose. What shall I do?

Tahmazian: Well, what do -you- think you should do, Monsoon.

Monsoon: Right! I'll bring him to you.

[Monsoon exits the throne room as Tahmazian sits despondently.]

Tahmazian: (thinking position, softly) I wonder why Taiga has ceased his dosage. And yet, I guess making an early attack was not such a good idea after all. But, you're not scot free, Zanuff.

[Taiga appears, standing beneath the entrance to the Throne Room. Looking back, he spots Monsoon who is seemingly breathing down the back of his neck, and backhands him. Monsoon scampers away, whimpering.]

Taiga: What is it, father?

Tahmazian: Monsoon tells me that you have ceased your dose. Why have you done such thing?

Taiga: I'm feeling better. I have no need for that wretched, foul tasting stuff you call medicine. (sniffs and breathes in the air freely) ah, but my, I can breathe again.

Zanuff (O.S.): Tahmazian has a -son-? He never told -me- that. And besides, he looks like a -girl-.

[Zanuff smiles out of laughter.]

Tahmazian: (looks at Zanuff, irritably) What's so funny, Zanuff?

Zanuff: (straightens face) Oh, nothing. Just thought of something.

Tahmazian: What was funny? I'm -all- up for your -jokes-. Entertain me.

[Zanuff prepares himself.]

Zanuff: Okay, you asked for it. (clears throat) Have you ever heard the story about an evil ruler who has a sick son who looks like a girl?

[Zanuff snickers as Zedekiah bursts with laughter.]

Zanuff: (oncoming laughter) Oh no, I think I've done it now.

Taiga: (looks at Zanuff with disappointment) Hey!

[Tahmazian's mouth drops open, exiting the thinking position, dramatically looking at Zanuff in shock.]

[A beautiful shot of planet Earth.]

[Somewhere on planet Earth. It is now in midday.]

Tahmazian (O.S.): Aaargghh!! Zanuff!

Zanuff (O.S.): (uncontrollable laughter) Oh no! I better get out of here!

[We hear the sounds of lasers being fired, apparently hitting Zanuff who is laughing painfully.]

Tahmazian (O.S.): Get -back- here you, imprudent -ignoramus-! I'm not -finished- with you -yet-.

[Cross-over to Deserted Area. Sunset. Across the sunset, Amami, Miko and Lieutenant Kamui are outside somewhere, walking.]

Miko: You know something! This is the first time I've actually been away from my husband.

Amami: Husband!?

Miko: We've been together for a good amount of years. No, he's not my husband. At least not yet anyway.

Kamui: Yu-to Halseth. He's one of Holy Alliance's cocksure cock-a-hoop's.

Amami: (laughs) Cocksure cock-a-hoop. I just learned a new word. That's pretty funny.

Kamui: (chuckles) It seems you have a bit of a sense of humor there. Yeah, he's quite the cocky one but, one of Holy Alliance's best, just like you and your brother. Trust me, you'll like him. Besides that, you kinda resemble him in a way, but differently, like he's your -

Yu-to (O.S.): Long lost brother? (to Miko) Hey there, babe.

Miko: (hugs Yu-to) Yu-to. It's been quite a while.

Kamui: Yu-to. Might I ask, what exactly brings you out here?

Yu-to: Nothing much. Just training my body as usual.

Amami: I'm Amami Halseth.

[Amami holds out his fist.]

Yu-to: (spikes fist) Yu-to Halseth.

Amami: I know.

Yu-to: So, there's another Halseth around. Like anime?

Amami: Addicted to it.

Yu-to: You spar?

Amami: All day.

Yu-to: We're related.

Amami: I can tell a Halseth from a Halseth and you, Yu-to, are a Halseth. I knew it from the start. (points at nose) Cat-scratch nose just like mine.

Yu-to: Wolf?

Amami: Tiger!

Yu-to: We are so related.

Kamui: OK! Enough with the comparison already! So you're related. We've got work to do.

[Crossover to Dark Alliance HQ with pink and black colors. Shinji and Maki are walking side-by-side.]

Shinji: So, I've noticed that my brother has a thing for you.

Maki: He asked me out. I hope he's not hurt by my reply.

Shinji: Oh, you haven't seen the last of him. He doesn't give up so easily.

Maki: He's sensitive, isn't he?

Shinji: Well, yeah.

Maki: I have a boyfriend already.

Shinji: I won't tell you what to do, but it's up to you if you want to put up with him. He's my oldest and yet, -only- brother, so I have to.

Maki: You have nothing to worry about. I won't hurt him.

Shinji: I would advise you not to anyway, even though I could care less. But like I said, it's up to you. Amami is not your average people person. He's very mysterious and yet, easy to love and get along with.

Maki: But, what if I -do- hurt him and he cries?

Shinji: I highly doubt that he will. He is, at some point heartless. Never sheds a tear.

Maki: Everybody sheds a tear every once in a while.

Shinji: Well, except for that time he and I got into an argument. It wasn't a verbal one at that either. It was completely physical. Any kind of tension we have towards one another ends up that way. We never talk it out. He's got a lot of anger and detestation built inside of him, though, from what I know. Either way, we read each other like a book. We stick together regardless.

Maki: Yeah, but it seems likely to -me- that he never really gets angry at -all-. There -must- be more to him than you -already- know.

Shinji: Oh, trust me. When you're around our family. He can be a real demon.

Maki: So is that what all that fire is about? His anger?

Shinji: That and his passion. There's more to it but he loves the thought of fire. It's all about death and destruction when it comes down to his craziness. Just don't get him to that point.

Maki: But, he seems so calm and peaceful.

Shinji: I know. He's like a hippy. But when his boiling point has been breached, he's like a hippy gone mad. But he's not on drugs or anything like that, so that's a plus.

Maki: Do you think that he will have a problem with you telling me anything about him?

Shinji: Amami isn't like anybody else. He doesn't care what anyone says or thinks about him. He's just that good of a person to let the world slide with words. And besides that, he wants the world to know who he is. To know him and what he's about.

[Crossover to an exterior shot of the Holy Alliance Headquarters, precisely nightfall.]

[Nearest the entrance, a sorrowful figure leans up against the corridor with his head lowered. Amami, who looks as if something were bothering him.]

[Yu-to occurs, approaching Amami.]

Yu-to: Hey, Amami, something bothering you?

Amami: No not really, just got a lot on my mind.

Yu-to: Wanna go sparing?

Amami: Sure.

[Into the Dark Chamber. A dark chamber is portrayed. Two battle-ready figures, Amami and Yu-to stand firm facing each other.]

Amami: It's pretty dark in here. Just the way I like it.

Yu-to: So I see you like the darkness, eh, Amami?

Amami: I guess you could say that.

Yu-to: So, why don't we (enters battle stance) get this over with?

Amami: Way ahead of you. (places left hand into pocket) Whenever you're ready.

Yu-to: (exits battle stance) I see your stance. Looks like I won't be able to figure out (re-enters battle stance and throws an attack at Amami and misses) your -moves-!

Amami: (swiftly leaps away) Exactly. It seems you already have me figured out. But, not for long!

[Yu-to attacks Amami fiercely and misses again as Amami repeatedly dodges his attacks, quickly gets an attack in.]

Yu-to: Why aren't you attacking!

Amami: It's simple. You, as a Wolf, tend to attack freely and carelessly, just trying to hit your opponent, regardless of standards. But me, as a Tiger, I get the first strike. I await the first attack, looking for that opening, reading my adversary by his attacks. Do you feel your side burning a little?

Yu-to: (strokes side, feeling the heat, grin) That's truly clever... for a -kitten-!

Amami: Was that an insult? You half-breed!

Yu-to: That's -it-! You're mine, you stupid feline.

[Like playing a game of tag, Amami continuously dodges every attack, repeating the same process with quick attacks.]

[Miko, mysteriously appearing on sight, seats herself in a distance watching the battle.]

[Weapons Lab. Somewhere inside of the Holy Alliance Headquarters, Lieutenant Kamui is working on a project labeled "Metempsychosis Assault Weapons System", typing on a keyboard in front of a huge LCD screen that shows images and data in which looks like Zords.]

Kamui: (chuckles) Boy, are these outlanders in for a surprise. After I finish making preparations to these weapons, they won't know what hit them.

[Cut back over to Amami and Yu-to who are, at this time, still sparing. We see the two fighters performing attacks of their own.]

[Amami blocks an attack from Yu-to who throws his fist at Amami with force, he evades the attack with a single twirl in the air, landing on one knee and charging at Yu-to, holding out his hand as if equipped with a weapon and launches an attack with the other hand pulling the other back, making a hit towards Greg's face.]

[Greg takes the attack, lip busted, blood spilled, curling himself into the fetal position with his head facing the ground, then suddenly bursting out of the position letting out a wolf cry as if howling at the moon and leaps instantly into the air and through the ceiling.

[Amami looks in the direction of the shortly damaged celing.]

[Miko leaps to her feet running towards Amami, peering at the dark blue sky.]

Miko: You must've drawn first blood. I would suggest that you stick around for a while.

Amami: You're right, but I can't turn away from a battle like this. Until next time?

[Recap of Last Chapter/Episode...]

INT. EXERCISE AREA

[Testing Ground. Maki is now on the battleground.]

[An Outlander kicks her. She backs away for space and pulls out the halberd, striking away at the Outlanders in her view with attacks of her own.]

[One of the Outlanders deliver a hard punch to Maki's back. She stumbles forward from the force of the blow and foolishly bumps into another Outlander.]

[A loud rumble is heard throughout the exercise area, everything comes to a halt as Squad Zero regroup. Red warning lights in the entire facility shut on.]

Announcer: System failure. Transporting model number 2.4.3 into the area. All machines are currently disabled. Transporting model number 6.2.9 into the area.

[The models transport into the exercise area as the entrance to the vicinity closes slowly.]

[Lieutenant Kamui bangs onto the plastic interior in a panicky state as he is pulled away by an unknown figure.]

[It is sudden that a full army of Outlanders appear into the scene surrounding the Squad.]

[Fire lights up in Amami's eyes.]

Amami: I smell trouble.

Shinji: It might be that fire in your eyes.

[The fire in his eyes dance as he smiles.]

Amami: (smiling) Really funny.

Miko: Idiots!

Maki: Guys, this is no time for joking around!

Amami: (straightening his face) I guess you're right. (looks at the entrance) The entrance is closing on us. We better hurry before we're trapped in here.

Shinji: You and Maki go ahead, Miko and I will hold them off.

Maki amd Amami: Are you sure?

Miko and Shinji: Go already!

[Maki and Amami rush out of the exercise area as the entrance fully closes.]

[Shinji and Miko stand side by side in battle stance.]

Shinji: This is going to be one crazy battle.

[Shadow-like vapor clouds Shinji's eyes.]

[A green light emits in Miko's eyes as they imperceptibly vibrate as if wind were blowing upon them.]

Miko: You can say that again.

[Cross-over to the Testing Ground.]

[The two rangers, Amami and Maki stop in their tracks.]

Amami: We have to split up and see if there are any survivors around.

Maki: Okay. Be safe.

Amami: You do the same.

[Maki hugs Amami. Amami hesitantly hugs Maki back. It is then that they split up.]

[To Mountainous Region. Sunset. Zanuff despondently walks around in circles.]

Zanuff: What am I going to do? If I fail again, I'm a goner. So much for being a liegeman!

[Zanuff kicks rocks as a hologram of Lord Tahmazian appears before him in the sky.]

Tahmazian: Zanuff! What are you doing?

Zanuff: I'm thinking up a plan on destroying the alliance.

Tahmazian: Who's responsible for the attack on the Testing Ground?

Zanuff: (jumps hesitantly, in a state of falsehood) T-That would be my doing, my liege.

Tahmazian: Oh really. It looks like to me, you're hiding out. Are you not?

Zanuff: O-Of course not. I'm waiting for the new rangers to arrive. The Dark Alliance is getting some today. They should be in training.

Tahmazian: New Rangers! Oh, well, this should be good. I want you to go to the Testing Ground right away.

[The hologram fades away.]

Zanuff: Whatever you say my liege. Whatever you say.

[Zanuff sits in the thinking position.]

Zanuff: Maybe I should get some help. Hmm. (snaps his finger and stands up, snickering) I got it. The -rangers- are in for it now!

[Back to Exercise Area. Miko and Shinji. Shinji is thrown against the wall as Miko is getting pummeled to the ground.]

Shinji: (low) I could use some of Amami's help but he and Maki are off somewhere.

Miko: Shinji, are you alright?

Shinji: (shaking himself off) Never better. Shadow Ranger! (morphs instantly, enters battle stance) It's just about that time!

[Shadow Ranger rushes over to Miko and helps her up, pushing the Outlanders out of the way.]

Miko: Zephyr Ranger! (morphs instantly) Next time, they won't get away with that kind of attack.

[Zephyr Ranger enters battle stance. She fends off against an Outlander, dodging its attack and slashes her opponent with a kunai dagger.]

[Shadow Ranger tosses an Outlander against the wall and instantly rushes to it, smashing his opponent, leaving a print of the Outlander on the wall.]

[An Outlander slaps Shadow Ranger in the back of his head, or in this case, his helmet.]

Shadow Ranger: You know something. I may have a helmet over my head, but that still (elbows the Outlander in the nose) -hurt-!

[Zephyr Ranger pummels an Outlander into the ground.]

Zephyr Ranger: Now this is what I call payback.

[Zephyr Ranger stands on the Outlander and does a back-flip, landing on top of the Outlanders gut.]

Zephyr Ranger: That was (checks the Outlanders chin with foot) -fun-!

[Zephyr and Shadow Ranger meet back-to-back.]

Zephyr Ranger: Hey Shinji, your brother? He reminds me of my soul mate, but in a different kind of manner. The whole thing about Tigers, you know.

Shadow Ranger: Relates to Wolves, I know. That's a sudden surprise. You're not falling for my brother, are you?

Zephyr Ranger: In your dreams, Shinji. No way.

[Outlanders close in on the two.]

[Testing Ground. Throughout the facility, Amami and Maki meet, nearly bumping each other.]

Amami: You find any survivors.

Maki: It seems like they have evacuated.

Amami: Then we're the only ones left in the facility.

Maki: Pretty much.

[Amami and Maki stare into each others eyes.]

Amami: You're beautiful.

Maki: (blushes) Thanks.

Amami: Wanna go out with me?

Maki: (smiles) I'm going out with someone already.

Amami: (disappointed smile) Ouch! Didn't see that coming.

[All of a sudden, Zanuff shows up. Amami and Maki face him, entering battle stance.]

Amami: It's you again. What a surprise.

Zanuff: Sorry to break up your little session but, you wouldn't happen to be the new -rangers-, would you?

Amami: Well, you got me. It seems like we were -rangers- after all. What're you doing here?

Zanuff: On a mission!

Amami: Still taking orders from your boss. (looks at the mark on Zanuff's neck) It seems like he got you pretty good.

Zanuff: Just a little warning shot.

Amami: Looks like a final warning to me.

Zanuff: (pulling out his sword) I shall see to your defeat outside of this clutter.

[Zanuff runs off.]

Amami: Come on, we have to go after him.

[Amami runs after Zanuff as Maki follows his lead.]

[Outside of the Testing Ground. Zanuff stands beside an unknown figure.]

[Amami and Maki show up, running and stop in a sudden surprise as they spot the extra villian.]

Zanuff: Surprised are we? This here is my sister, Zedekiah. (to Zedekiah) Zedekiah, these are the -Power Rangers-.

Zedekiah: That's -preposterous-! These two are -Power Rangers-! They look more like a couple to me.

[Zanuff and Zedekiah approach the two and study them, walking in a circle.]

Zanuff: You know something, Zedekiah. I see the facts.

Zedekiah: They look like a couple, don't they?

Zanuff: Yes, as a matter of fact, come Zedekiah, walk with me.

[Zanuff and Zedekiah walk at least a mile away from Amami and Maki. It is so that they begin to argue amongst one another, face-to-face.]

Zanuff: (indistinct) Who -cares- about whether or not they look like -couples-.

Zedekiah: (indistinct) I was only -complimenting- on their -connection-. I felt something between them.

Zanuff: Oh! So now you're some sort of -psychic-. Where did our family go wrong?

Zedekiah: Ooh! I oughta! (slaps Zanuff upside his head) I'm telling mom!

[It is then that the two of them begin to argue fiercely, muttering back and forth then simultaneously.]

Amami: Can you believe that? I can.

Maki: What, that we look like a couple to them? I told you already, I'm taken.

[Maki walks away from Amami. Amami shakes his head.]

Amami: (low) Assuming things so quickly. That's not even what I was trying to say!

[Back to Exercise Area. Shinji and Miko are worn out. The models explained before are down for the count.]

Shinji: I wonder whose idea was it to tell those two that they should leave?

Miko: Yours and pretty much likely the both of ours, but mostly yours.

Shinji: (chuckles) It's all my fault, right?

Miko: (chuckles) If you say so. Let's get out of here.

Shinji: Right behind you. Beast Gauntlet!

[A black vapor-like fire covers Shinji's left hand as he charges towards the door and slams his fist into it, breaking the door down in the process.]

Shinji: (impressed) I'm beginning to like this stuff already.

Miko: We've got to hurry before those things wake up.

Shinji: (looks back at the models) You're right. Let's go.

[Shinji and Miko quickly evacuate the Exercise Area.]

[Back outside of the Testing Ground. On the Testing Ground, Maki approaches Zanuff and Zedekiah, who are continuously bickering back and forth to one another.]

Maki: Um, hey guys!

Villains: (at the top of their lungs) WHAT!!

Maki: Don't you have a job to do, or are you two just going to stand there and -fight- all day, when you should be -trying- to destroy the -rangers- and whatever else it is you have to do.

Zedekiah: Oh, right! I almost forgot.

[Zedekiah pulls out a whistle made of the wood and divining rods of Alder.]

Zedekiah: I shall call upon the North Wind.

[A fireball shoots out of nowhere and splits up, whacking the two villainous siblings in the face, causing Zedekiah to drop the whistle in the process.]

Villains: Ouch!

Amami (O.S.): That was supposed to just hit Zanuff! Sorry! Come on, I want to fight!

Zedekiah: (sniffs the after burning smell) That smells like burning alder.

Amami: (approaches Zedekiah) And that -looks- like alder.

[Amami covers himself inflames.]

Zedekiah: I smell it all over you. Where were you born?

Amami: Just a little place called earth. (grabs hold of the whistle) I'll take -that-.

Zedekiah: You insolent fool! How -dare- you!

Maki: You and your brother -just- don't give in, do you? You have to play around.

Amami: (laughs) Why not! We like having fun. Sure, I take work seriously but, if not for my maintaining of a youthful approach to almost everything...

[Amami shrugs shoulders.]

Shinji (O.S.): Amami!

Amami: (chuckles) And speak of the devil.

[Shinji and Miko show up.]

Shinji: So, I see you brought a friend with you this time, eh, Zanuff?

Zedekiah: I'm his sister you buffoon.

Amami: Shall we get on with the fighting? I'm bored.

Zanuff: I thought you'd never ask. It's about time.

[The villainous siblings and Squad Zero leap away from each other and enter battle stance.]

Squad Zero: Spirit Morpher Revolutionize!

[The Morphing Sequence begins.]

Amami: Red Inferno Ranger!

Shinji: Black Shadow Ranger!

Maki: Pink Seismic Ranger!

Miko: Green Zephyr Ranger!

[Squad Zero morph into their designations.]

[The Rangers enter battle stance as does the villainous siblings.]

Zanuff: What a show! Sorry it has to be cancelled!

Zedekiah: You tenderfoots are going -down-!

[The siblings and Rangers charge at each other.]

[Into Lord Tahmazian's Lair. Lord Tahmazian sits on his throne as usual. A monster, Monsoon, walks into the throne room with Lieutenant Kamui and shoves him to his knees beneath Tahmazian.]

Tahmazian: (looks down at Lieutenant Kamui and leaves his throne) Well, what do we have here. Lieutenant (kicks Kamui in gut) -Kamui-!

Kamui: (groans) We meet again, Agamemnon.

[Lord Tahmazian, or as of now, known as Agamemnon, grabs hold of Lieutenant Kamui and lifts him up off the ground.]

Tahmazian: What's this I hear about new -rangers-? And, don't worry. I won't hurt you.

Kamui: Don't you think it's a little too early to be making these kind of attacks?

[Tahmazian tosses Lieutenant Kamui to the floor like trash.]

Tahmazian: A little too -early-, huh? My liegeman is already up there on his way to -destroy- those rangers.

Kamui: What if I told you that they are unstoppable.

Tahmazian: Well then, we'll just have to see about that.

Kamui: And besides, they're still in training, leave them alone.

[Back to Testing Ground. The siblings and the Rangers are going at it.]

[Inferno and Shadow Ranger are fending off against Zanuff. Zanuff swings at Inferno Ranger and misses as Inferno Ranger ducks from the attack and strikes him in the gut.]

[Shadow Ranger jumps in the air and zips back and forth, in and out of Zanuff's body, striking him repeatedly.]

[Seismic and Zephyr Ranger are fending off against Zedekiah. Seismic Ranger karate chops Zedekiah as Zephyr Ranger kicks her in the butt.]

[Zanuff and Zedekiah group up.]

Zanuff: I see how you all want to play.

[Doubles of Zanuff and Zedekiah appear beside each other.]

Zanuff: Now it's two on two!

Inferno Ranger: (enters battle stance) Fine by me. (to Shadow Ranger) I'll take on the real one. You go after his double.

Shadow Ranger: (enters battle stance) They still won't stand a chance against us.

Inferno Ranger: Ha! You got that right. Let's do it.

[Inferno and Shadow Ranger part ways, charging after the Zanuff and the double.]

[Inferno Ranger's position.]

Inferno Ranger: So, it's me against you, Zanuff.

Zanuff: Yeah, I guess so.

Inferno Ranger: Yeah, but it's just too early for all of this.

Zanuff: Blame it on that retched boss of mine.

Inferno Ranger: So, let me guess, you were sent to destroy the new rangers, huh?

Zanuff: It was sort of my doing. I said something about new rangers and my boss, well, he just sent me back up here to destroy you idiots.

Inferno Ranger: You're lucky, cause by the looks of it, we are still in training.

Zanuff: Enough talking. I'm going to -kill- you!

Inferno Ranger: If that's what you think, then so be it.

[Inferno Ranger and Zanuff charge at each other.]

[Shadow Rangers position.]

[Shadow Ranger and the Zanuff doppelganger battle it out. Shadow Ranger dodges the doppelgangers attack and leaps to the side.]

[The doppelganger slaps him in the side with the hilt of his sword.]

Shadow Ranger: (looks at side in agonizing anger, pointing at the double) You're mine!

[Shadow Ranger charges at the doppelganger and shoots at him with the DA Blaster, then slashes him in the chest with the DA Saber.]

[Seismic Rangers position.]

[Seismic Ranger gets knocked back and slashed in the arm with a whip by Zedekiah.]

Zedekiah: Come on, you're not even putting up a fight!

Seismic Ranger: Okay, so it's a fight you want then it's a fight you'll get.

[Seismic Ranger pulls out a halberd and spins it around, entering battle stance. It is then that she charges at Zedekiah.]

[Zephyr Rangers Position.]

[The Zedekiah doppelganger somersault kicks Zephyr Ranger.]

[Zephyr Ranger falls helplessly to the ground and kicks herself back up onto her feet.]

Zephyr Ranger: Zephyr Daggers!

[The daggers, deployed by Zephyr Ranger, flow fast but, gently in a way. The attack was a success. The Zedekiah doppelganger jerks back, mourning over the somewhat injury, and points at Zephyr Ranger, balling up her fist dramatically.]

Zephyr Ranger: (laughs, cocky) How do you like me now.

[Zedekiah doppelganger threatens Zephyr Ranger with the whip, beating the ground.]

Zephyr Ranger: (sarcastically) What are you going to do with that. Give me a -spanking-?

[Zedekiah doppelganger twirls the whip in the air and lashes it out at Zephyr Ranger, who pulls out her DA Blaster a second too late, knocking the blaster out of her hand.]

Zephyr Ranger: (ticked) You know, that almost -hit- my -hand-, you idiot!

[Entering battle stance, Zephyr Ranger charges at the doppelganger, dodging her every whip attack.]

[Zephyr Ranger suddenly catches the whip and yanks it away.]

[The screen splits into fours, starting with the Zephyr Rangers position going to the bottom right, revealing Inferno Rangers position going to the top left, also revealing Seismic Rangers position going to the top right and lastly, Shadow Rangers position to the bottom left.]

[In this sequence, they are all shown battling it out with their adversary.]

[Inferno Ranger is shown trading blows with Zanuff as Shadow Ranger is shown toying with the doppelganger.]

[Seismic Ranger is shown constantly beating Zedekiah with the halberd as Zephyr Ranger is shown having a showdown with the doppelganger.]

[The spilt screen ends one by one as each ranger downs their opposing adversary.]

[Starting with Seismic Ranger who strikes Zedekiah in the gut with the halberd, Shadow Ranger who leaps into the air and stomps the Zanuff doppelganger to the ground, and Zephyr Ranger who retrieves her blaster and shoots the Zedekiah doppelganger to the ground.]

[The screen goes back to its normal resolution, showing Inferno Ranger and Zanuff who leap away from each other and stand, weakened.]

Zanuff: (tired) You're tough, even without the use of your abilities.

Inferno Ranger: (tired) You're not so bad yourself. This was one heck of a battle.

[Shadow Ranger shows up on screen beside Inferno Ranger.]

Shadow Ranger: (surprised) I'm amazed to see the two of you still standing. Ha! That doppelganger was worth a battle.

Inferno Ranger: (blocking Shadow Ranger) Stay back Shinji. This is my battle.

Shadow Ranger: Tsh! Fine by me. I'm going back to HQ. (removes headgear, wiping sweat off his forehead) I'm beat.

Zanuff: Would you just go already!

[Suddenly, the other two rangers show up with Zedekiah, grabbing the gentlemen's attention.]

Zedekiah: (running beside Zanuff, exhausted) These new -rangers- are -tough-! I almost had the pink one but she crossed me up her -weapon- and beat my -whip-!

[Zanuff and Inferno Ranger, who powers down, approach one another.]

Zanuff: So, Inferno Ranger. Why don't you say we -

Zanuff and Amami: Call it a day!

Amami: Sure, why not. And besides, you're second to my brother in competition. You've gone up on my list.

Zanuff: That sounds like something good.

Amami: It is something good.

Zanuff: Normally, a Power Ranger would've actually defeated their opponent.

Amami: Well, what can I say! It seems like you weren't even attempting to defeat me anyway. Besides that, I think I may be able to trust you on a certain level. You don't seem villainous at some points.

Zanuff: How about a rematch.

[Zanuff throws out his hand. Amami looks at Zanuff's hand and shakes it.]

Amami: (smiling) You can bet on it.

Tahmazian (O.S.): -Zanuff-! What are you doing over there? Destroy those rangers. Don't make friends.

[Zanuff faces Tahmazian, nervously, who shoves Lieutenant Kamui towards Amami and the rangers.]

Zanuff: M.My liege, I'm tired. We've been fighting all day. Neither of us are down for the count and nobody here is weak.

Tahmazian: (low, softly) So, Kamui's mouth wasn't -filled- with a bunch of worms. We might have to take drastic measures.

Zanuff: They are of no threat to us.

Tahmazian: What! Why are you speaking in such ignorant way? Let's get going, I've got work to do. Oh, and rangers? I suggest that you, -give- up your positions as rangers, -if- you want your precious Lieutenant to survive.

[Tahmazian laughs sinisterly, walking off-screen with Zedekiah and Zanuff.]

Zedekiah (O.S.): Until next time rangers!

[Amami and the rangers regroup, facing the villains who are now gone.]

Shadow Ranger: Making friends with the enemy I see.

Amami: I don't know. It's just that I sense something within Zanuff, like his heart is, weakening. That's partially why I didn't destroy him.

Shadow Ranger: Showing a bit of compassion, brother? It's not like you. You're always the opposite, you know, passionate.

Amami: What's wrong with showing a little sympathy?

Shadow Ranger: I don't know but we better head back to HQ right away.

Amami: Lieutenant, are you going to be okay?

Kamui: I'll last. Let's get going!
