Pink then switches to saber mode and swings by, slashing off his horn and landing perfectly. Rhinix agonizes of his severed horn as he falls to the ground. Pink stands up and turns to face him reholstering her weapons as her teammates arrive in the background. Pink goes over and pets RIC, as the other Rangers watch and speak. Blue notices something and goes over, retrieving her Delta Morpher from a puddle.

I'd be remiss not to mention that SPD vehicle is not the usual Delta Cruiser jeep; Cuts before Blue lowers Morpher and looks to our right.

Recycled, per source.

DEKA #05.

Now against a black backdrop, Rhinix finds himself standing in front of a clockface and two alternating X or O symbols. As her teammates gesture while holding the Canine Cannon behind her, Pink holds her Delta Morpher forth as shot pushes in. Rhinix speaks, as Pink's Morpher flashes with a red X that appears over the monster's face. Pink then joins her teammates behind the Canine Cannon, Rhinix has a fit, Pink speaks before pan over to Red speaking, as they fire the Canine Cannon forth, the blast shooting down an SPD logo corridor, bursting Rhinix. Now back in the real world, Rhinix bursts with pinkish smoke, before exploding massively.

Shot 3 is trimmed to reduce dialogue; cuts final shot before flames subside and there's no sign of the monster within; cuts follow-ups of Rangers lowering cannon and Pink celebrating.
