HURRI #22.

Madtropolis talks to his metal orb.

Altered to fit monitor; both shots shortened considerably.

HURRI #22.

A lit fuse connected to the metal orb burns down, as Madtropolis watches and laughs.

Cuts prior shot of Madtropolis lighting fuse with lighter; trims start of shot 1 to remove more of that; trims shot 2 to remove Madtropolis stepping back with lighter; cuts follow-up additional shot of burning fuse.

HURRI #22.

The fuse continues to burn closer, when a red streak (of unmorphed HurriRed, shh!) passes by, snagging the metal orb, Madtropolis then turning and reacting.

HURRI #22.

Red flips over, Madtropolis rushes after him, as Red dashes through the warehouse, the monster firing a forehead light that sends flames bursting up around him as he narrowly avoids them, dives, turns, and fires his Hawk Blaster at Madtropolis, who fades from sight. Red glances about, when Madtropolis jumps up behind him and sparkily strikes him down. Red rolls, then looks to his Morpher.

Cuts prior shots of Rangers posing and stuff, US replaces most of it; shot 2 is actually pushed back from its source position and trimmed considerably.

HURRI #22.

Red talks to his Morpher, Madtropolis talks to him, he gets up, talking, and holds out orb. Madtropolis talks, then warps out of sight, turning the scene into a black background, mist-ground void. Red glances about talking, when he sees the monster charging at him. He pulls out his sword and sparkily slashes him a few times, only to have the illusion fade into the two Thunders! Red rushes to their side and talks to them, when Blue & Yellow appear, the latter firing his blaster sword at the three. Red pushes through the smoke and talks, when Yellow begins to sparkily slash him, then does the same to the Thunders, as Blue strikes Red.

Shots 4 is trimmed slightly; last shot cuts before Blue can put her sword near Red's neck; US replaces follow-ups for same reason.

HURRI #22.

Yellow & Blue fall to the ground and look up, as three Madtropolis warp back into the Thunders and Red, Yellow and Blue reacting.

US replaces prior shot of Crimson punching Yellow; cuts last shot before Blue talks some more.

HURRI #22.

Madtropolis walks forth talking, the five Rangers regroup, Red talking, Madtropolis replies, then warps out of sight. Red steps forward and turns to see his teammates turn into Madtropolises. One of which strikes him sparkily, he falls, rolls, and recovers. Another charges at him, so he sparkily slashes it, only to discover it was Yellow. Red talks to himself a bit, the camera passing by him as he concentrates, then finally looks forth.

A lot of these shots are trimmed to reduce dialogue; last shot cuts before Red can talk any.

HURRI #22.

Red fires on Madtropolis, who bursts, falls, and rolls, reverting the scene to the warehouse before vanishing. The Rangers rally around Red, they exchange dialogue, Red then is overwhelmed as he drops his sword and falls to his knees, his teammates suffering similar bodily weaknesses. Each talks, writhes, and clutches their chest on the ground.

US replaces follow-up of Blue due to commercial bumper cutting in so quickly.

HURRI #22.

Madtropolis' head appears above the Rangers, firing eyebeams down upon them explosively, knocking them down. Madtropolis reappears, walking in and talking. Red gets up, talking, his teammates following, as he raises a fist.
