Green Courage
aka "The Engine That Could"
Airdate: 10/27/99
Damon has a chance encounter with High
Commander Renier, when she drops some documents, and he
picks them up for her.
The Scorpion Stinger is caught in the
path of an exploding planet, and is hit with debris,
penetraiting the hull, and damaging the engine.
Trakeena sends down Cannonbrawl and some
Sting Wingers to abduct Renier for her to keep as a
hostage.
Damon battles the monster, but cannot
prevent the Sting Wingers from escaping with the High
Commander.
Trakeena sends a message - they are to
send their best mechanic if they want to see the High
Commander again.
Damon volunteers, and he is taken to the
Scorpion Stinger by Mike and Leo in a heliship.
He is taken to the ship's engine, which
appears to be partly organic, and begins the repairs.
Leo has snuck aboard the Scorpion
Stinger. He battles some Sting Wingers and rescues High
Commander Renier.
Damon finishes his repairs, but Trakeena
doesn't keep her end of the bargain, refusing to let
either him or Renier free.
As Villamax appears and reports that
Renier has escaped, more meteors hit, putting the lights
out long enough for Damon to escape.
Damon radios Mike, and he brings the
heliship in towards the Scorpion Stinger to pick up his
teamates and the High Commander.
Damon finds Leo and Renier, only to be
attacked by Cannonbrawl. Damon holds him off while Leo
and Renier board the heliship.
With some help from Renier, Damon manages
to take Cannonbrawl down long enough to escape to the
heliship, and everyone leaves for the station.
Cannonbrawl teleports to Terra Venture,
and tries to blast the incoming heliship, but is
immediately attacked by Magna Defender.
Everyone appears, and Damon gives
Cannonbrawl a solo Orion one-two.
This only makes their problem bigger, as
Cannonbrawl grows.
The Rangers call on the Stratoforce and
Galaxy Megazords. Cannonbrawl is taken down with a slash
from the Orion powered Galaxy Megazord.
Much to Damon and Leo's surprise, High
Commander Renier awards them with medals of honor, for
their bravery in rescuing her.
Comments:
Why was the heliship coming in from the sky? How
did Mike get to fight the monster while the
heliship was still in the sky? First of all,
there wasn't enough time for him to get there,
and secondly, how could he leave the ship with
Renier on board to see him? Leo and Damon
appeared only seconds later. Everyone must have
just jumped off the ship and let Renier land it,
which I doubt she would find appropriate.
"Bones" Henderson? - "I'm a
mechanic, not a doctor!"
Is "Green Courage" the best they could
do for a title?
What was up with Leo's line - "there's Terra
Venture! We're home!" They had always been
just outside of the station, well within its line
of sight.
Damon should have taken the opportunity to plant
a bomb in the Scorpion Stinger's engine, which
they could detonate remotely.
