EPISODE 24: UPGRADE

ABOUT: After finding out the two robots were not her parents Candace is sent to speak to the head elder for retraining in her skills while Yóri mo takái discuss that try are sending whoever they can to defeat the rangers.

On the planet two robots known as Barina and Tyro were attacking Padesu who Candace thought resembled her parents. The Demozord flips over Barina and Tyro who uses their staffs to make a green laser blasts. The Demozord grabs the staffs off the hands of the robots. The robots fight for their staffs back. Demozord kicks them. Barina falls down with her staff, while Tyro stabs the Demozord and electric fuses come flying off the mecha. The Demozord gets up and blasts Tyro down on Barina. The Demozord rolls the two robots into a portal. Blue shouted, "Off to the Shuudan Prison for you!"

In the cockpit of Demozord, the four rangers (not including Candace) rejoice. Candace was crying. The four untransformed rangers in civilian clothes on the right and Candace on the left. The four are still and sad. PAIGE: Candace…
KIRO: We had to do it.
CANDACE: You failed to listen to your leader. Paige's device could have been wrong. Maybe you were wrong.
ISIS: Well they are now safe in the prison.
CANDACE: I need to be alone.
Candace teleports away, the four watch.
ISIS: Was it something I said?
PAIGE: I guess I can't get Balthazar any time soon.
KIRO: I'll go after her; you guys stay here in case more Dims come.
CORIBUN: Who died and made you leader?
Kiro stares at him meanly; Coribun changes his mind and puts his right arm over the back of his head. Coribun shouted, "Never mind!"

Candace in the Elder Chamber room facing the nine elders.
CANDACE: What am I doing here?
HEAD ELDER: You can't escape us. You saw into Barina and Tyro and you saw evil, why did you deny it? Candace in front of the Shuudan elders.
CANDACE: I don't know why exactly.
HEAD ELDER: You are had a mental breakdown. Next time you tell us, we care dearly about you but you have to admit no one can sustain feelings of all that you have gone through. Candace breaking down crying and complaining.
CANDACE: I did it for the team. I didn't want to show my weakness. There is too much going on. I hate the Warúi! They took the people I most cherish.
HEAD ELDER: I'm going to train you in new ways of mentality and spirituality. Meanwhile you will take a break from leading the rangers and Kiro will take your place.
Kiro entered the room, Candace agrees of what the head elder said. We see the nine elders sitting behind the half circle table.
CANDACE: Yes, head elder.

The head elder and Candace in martial art clothes practicing yoga in the bamboo fighting room. "Feel the peace flow through you. Become one with everything around you. Embrace it all," the Head Elder said. Head Elder and Candace sitting 'Indian style' floating high. A magic supernatural force flowed through Candace. She saw images of his parents and they are safe in a secret location. Candace thought, "My parents are okay, they escaped and they are in a secret location but it is way too far and I can't pinpoint where it is." Candace started doing cool martial art moves with her partner Kiro. Kiro asked, "How's the training?" Candace responded, "Terrific." Kiro asked, "So… are you sure you okay with me being temporarily leader?" "I'm sure I'll be all right," Candace said.

Meanwhile, the Yóri Mo Takái Dark Elders celebrated. "Barina and Tyro succeed at bringing Candace to a total mental breakdown," a dark elder said. The other dark elders cackled evilly. "Now we have four more to go and we can get the entity," another dark elder said. The ninth dark elder asked, "So who should send to finish the others off?" A line of criminals, about 30 lined up. They all say various comments. The Dark Elder looks on, leaning their heads and judging. "Hmm…" The second dark elder asked, "What about that one?" The first dark elder commanded, "Squidrien, come forward!" Squidrien came forward. "Squidrien at your service! I've poisoned thirty-six large oceans and made a hundred water-breathing species come extinct."

Candace still training with Head Elder in the Shuudan Training ground. "Scrub on. Scrub off," she chanted. Paige welding together a piece of the Demozord. Isis drinking an Ice Tea on a stool watching her. The Sun setting, Candace watching on to it.
