Secret Santa is the twenty-second episode and Christmas special of Power Rangers Dino Fury. This episode serves as the epilogue of Season 1 and marks the final appearance of the Fusion Ultrazord.
Synopsis[]
While the Rangers fight to get Santa's magic sketchbook back from the villains, Javi and Solon are caught in a trap. Can they save Pine Ridge and Christmas?
Plot[]
In Pine Ridge Plaza during the Christmas season, Javi entertains the crowd of people by playing and singing "Jingle Bells" on his keyboard. While he is singing, a mysterious guy puts a Christmas star in his keyboard case, which he notices but pays no mind to it. After he finishes the carol, Izzy approaches him. She immediately notices that Javi still hasn't found a replacement for his missing key on the keyboard, to which he answers that he already tried looking for it everywhere, but has had no luck. Izzy then asks Javi if he got his Secret Santa gift yet. Javi sheepishly admits that he has not actually gotten one, causing Izzy to remind him that they'll be exchanging presents at Dinohenge in an hour and Amelia's calendar remind has been counting down the days for the last three months. Javi assures Izzy that he will get his gift before the latter left.
However, they fail to notice Mucus and Slyther, who somehow managed to escape the Dark Dimension, overhear the siblings' conversation, with Mucus claiming that this information will make their plan go much smoothly, with the robotic general wanting to the Rangers to pay for destroying Void Knight. Javi then meets up with Santa Claus, wishing Merry Christmas to each other. Javi asks Santa about what could be a perfect gift to get, but Santa is not sure since he himself is still learning about it. Javi then questions what was Santa's greatest gift, to which he answers his gloves that Mrs. Claus made for him. Javi thinks it's a great gift and he can still get it now. Santa then offers to save Javi some trouble by showing him a magical sketchbook that can create any gift with simple drawings and a bit of magic, but the latter declines since he already figured out what present he will get. Javi and Santa then bid farewell to each other, but Slyther and Mucus seek to get Santa's sketchbook.
At Dinohenge, Zayto, Ollie, Izzy, and Aiyon have just finished decorating the Christmas tree when Javi teleports down into the base. He complimented the decoration on the tree and completes it with the Christmas star he got from his performance in the plaza. Amelia then teleports in as she reveals the holiday cards from Power Ranger fans that BuzzBlast received. Zayto thanks Amelia for it. Aiyon then asks about Solon, while Izzy asks Javi if he already got his gift. Javi reveals that he brought a pair of gloves, but Ollie points out that Solon has claws, not hands. Realizing this fact, Javi knows that he's bad at picking gifts and Santa is the expert. Aiyon is confused on who Santa is, to which Ollie tells him that he is the one who brought gifts on Christmas. Now understanding that Santa is a person, Aiyon reveals that he thought they were getting secret sander presents, so he bought a power sander as a gift, which garnered chuckles from the other Rangers. Javi wonders what gift could he get since Solon deserves a nice gift. The others offer to help him get his gift, so they teleport out to buy a new present while Javi stalls Solon.
Just then, Solon appears and asks where everyone went, where Javi tells her that they went to go buy gingerbread, and offers the dinosaur to sing some carols. Solon says that Javi's musicality is impressive, but she declines his offer, stating that she gets nervous to remember the lyrics and get into Christmas spirit. She then notices the holiday cards Amelia brought, to which Javi tells her it's from Ranger fans. Javi takes a card and opens it, but it suddenly sends a shockwave which disables the entire system of the base. From the card, a hologram of Mucus appears, much to Javi and Solon's shock. The mushroom then tells both of them that she and Slyther had put a bomb in the Rangers' base and use the card to disable their comms and teleporters, trapping them in the base. The card immediately starts a 10 minute countdown, causing Javi and Solon to panic.
Both of them thought that Mucus and Slyther were gone after they defeated Void Knight as they go to check the computer, but they discover that it's disabled as well. Knowing that Mucus let it slip that the bomb was a gift, Javi and Solon decided to check the Secret Santa gifts to see if they are the bomb. Javi then opens the gift for Izzy, which is revealed to be a pack of electronics kit, which makes him remember the events of "Crossed Wires" and realize it's from Ollie. Both then move to the gift for Ollie, which is a white poncho shaped like a ghost. Solon then tells Javi about the events of "Destination Dinohenge" when Ollie and Amelia first met, which was where the poncho originated, meaning it's from Amelia. With two gifts ruled as safe so far, they only have four gifts left to check.
Meanwhile, the other five Rangers are busy choosing a gift for Solon, but Zayto suddenly receives a call from Santa, who tells them that his magical sketchbook was stolen, where Amelia realizes that a monster must've stolen it. Santa then tells the Rangers to either get it back or to destroy it. Just as the Rangers begin to search for it, they see Slyther and Mucus, which shocks them as both were last seen trapped in the Dark Dimension. Equally shocked, Slyther asks how the Rangers managed to get out of their base. Mucus then lets it slip of the bomb in their base, alerting Zayto that Javi and Solon are trapped with it. He tries to call Javi, but finds that they lost communication with him. Deciding to take care of the Rangers, Slyther tells Mucus to prepare the sketchbook. Ollie then says that they've found the thieves as Slyther sketches a Spider Monster that grows giant. The Rangers morph and Zayto overrides the Zord deployment to summon the T-Rex Champion Zord, Dimetro Blazing Zord, and Mosa Razor Zord, forming the Fusion Ultrazord to battle the monster.
With less than 6 minutes before the bomb explodes, Solon then gives Javi a present to open. It is revealed to be a homemade ice cream for Aiyon, which makes Javi remember the events of "Our Hero". The ice cream is Flargon-flavored, which Solon recognizes as a Rafkon delicacy, meaning it's from Zayto. They move to the present for Zayto, which is revealed to be a hand-stitched punching bag and a gym shirt saying "Izzy's Gym". This makes Javi remember the events of "Super Hotshot", with Solon noting that Izzy has become a great trainer herself. There's only one present left, which is revealed to be a missing key for Javi's keyboard custom made by Solon. Javi then fits it on his keyboard and thanks Solon for it. However, they still got a bomb to be find, and Javi deduces that the bomb can't be from Aiyon's gift. Solon says that nothing suspicious has come into the base, which makes Javi realize that the Christmas star gift he got earlier from the mystery man must have been a disguised Slyther. Now that they have discovered the bomb, Javi asks Solon how to get rid of it. With 30 seconds to spare, the dinosaur immediately thinks of an idea and tells Javi to put the bomb in the chest that contains the Sporix Cells, hoping it could contain the explosion. Javi then places both the star and the card inside the chest as they brace themselves for the worst outcome. Fortunately, the explosion from the bomb is contained by the chest and the systems come back online. Javi then calls the other Rangers, who are glad to hear that him and Solon are okay. Zayto calls for the Mega Fury Saber and the Rangers manage to defeat the Spider Monster with the Ultrazord's Fusion Ultra Strike.
Slyther, seeing that his plan fails, tries to draw another monster. But before he can do that, the Rangers (including Javi) teleport down, shocking Slyther. The robot summons the Hengemen and the Rangers proceed to battle them with Boost Keys and Battle Armors (with Zayto using the Blazing Dino Key to activate the Blazing Battle Armor, Ollie using the Sprint Dino Key, Amelia using the Muscle Dino Key, Izzy using the Shield Dino Key, Javi using the Mist Dino Key, and Aiyon using the Electro Dino Key to activate the Electro Battle Armor). By working together and combining their Boost Sleeve attacks, they easily defeat the entire platoon of Hengemen. Zayto demands Slyther to hand over the sketchbook, but the robotic general refuses and decides to draw another monster: a giant version of himself!
The Rangers then summon the Zords again, this time forming Dino Fury Megazord Warrior Formation and Mosa Razor Zord Battle Mode. The Megazords then take on the giant Slyther and manage to destroy the sketchbook, before Zayto summons the Mega Fury Saber again to finish off the giant Slyther with the Megazord's Dino Mega Slash. A dejected Slyther mopes his failure, with Mucus comforting him.
Back at Dinohenge, Javi apologizes to Santa for the destruction of his magical sketchbook, but Santa assures that it's fine and he prefers to make presents in traditional way before thanking the Rangers, who states that they're happy to help. Javi then tells the others to open the presents. As they exchanged gifts, Amelia presents Ollie with her gift: his white poncho that he wore when they first met each other, which he thanks Amelia for the gift. Santa then asks Javi about his gift, to which the latter states that copying Santa's idea was a bust. However, after what happened today, Javi has finally figured out the secret of gifts: that the greatest ones come from the heart and he finally knows what gift he need to give. He then grabs his book of carol songs and presents it to Solon as his gift, saying to the dinosaur that it helped him get into the Christmas spirit, and it will do the same for her. Solon then asks Javi to sing the carols together, which has the other Rangers and Santa joining in for the fun.
