History[]

Ninja Steel[]

Badpipes is first seen on Galvanax's ship with an army of Kudabots and Cosmo Royale dancing behind him and later doing the Hokey-Pokey. The reason is because Badpipes is using his bagpipes to make them dance and is sent to steal the Rangers' Power Stars by brainwashing them to give them over. After being sent to Earth, he encounters Hayley and demands her Ninja Power Star but she refuses until Badpipes plays his bagpipes and hypnotizes her into giving him her Ninja Power Star. Right before he can take it, Redbot comes in and kicks Badpipes away, releasing the White Ranger from Badpipe's trance. After Badpipes got up on his feet, Hayley morphs and Badpipes notices his bagpipes and attempts to grab it but she is able to snatch it away in time as she battles him. He manages to get them back by tricking her, allowing him to give Hayley a kick in the chest. Badpipes is then about to fire energy lasers at Hayley but Redbot steps in and takes the shot right before the contestant can play his bagpipes again. Kody comes in and kicks dirt at the monster's eyes, allowing Redbot and his friend to escape.

Later, Badpipes encounters and attacks Brody, Preston, Calvin and Sarah in a forest with Ripcon and hypnotizes them into give them their Ninja Power Stars. But right before they can, Hayley comes in her Mega Morph Cycle and fires at Badpipes with the Plasma Blast, freeing the other Rangers and attacking Ripcon. Right before the Rangers can take out Badpipes' bagpipes, Ripcon uses his Double Sword Doom Strike on them, knocking Hayley out of her Ranger form. Right before Badpipes can take back his bagpipes, Kody comes in and takes it away from the monster's view, allowing the Rangers to destroy the instrument with their Ninja Blasters. The Rangers re-morph and battle both Ripcon and Badpipes. Badpipes then decides to run off to give Ripcon space to battle Brody, with the rest of the Rangers following him. He battles the four Rangers in a beach-like area and makes a beatdown on them. He has more of an upper hand whilst flying but gets knocked down by Calvin. Right before he can battle him, Badpipes is obliterated by Preston and Sarah's Ninja Battle Morpher Arrow Blast Final Attack. He is then gigantified and the Rangers summon the Ninja Steel Zords to form the Ninja Steel Megazord. Badpipes has the upper hand in the fight so the Red Ranger summons the Rumble Tusk Zord to form the Rumble Tusk Ninja Steel Megazord to fight him. They manage to break off Badpipes's nose and smash his fan before they activate the Ninja Master Blade and use the Megazord's Double Axe Final Attack to destroy Badpipes for good.
