Storm Surge is the fifteenth episode of Power Rangers Dino Fury. The episode is the first part of the two-part introduction to Aiyon, the Dino Fury Gold Ranger, and the debut of the Electro Dino Key and the Electro Battle Armor.

Synopsis

Ollie agrees to help Javi with a story, but his desire for new tech distracts him from his promise; the villains exploit his obsession, and Ollie learns a lesson about priorities.

Plot

Ollie arrives at BuzzBlast wearing brand new noise-cancelling headphones. However, Javi is not happy to see him because Ollie promised to help him with his BuzzBlast story, and now J-Borg is forced to do a livestream of paint drying. Still, Ollie rudely dismisses Javi’s complaints as he needed new tech, something that Zayto, Amelia, and Izzy note has been a recurring thing for him. Jane tells Javi to get his stories completed on time and informs him of a strange storm happening over Pine Ridge Bay. She asks Javi to make it a feature for this afternoon’s livestream. Ollie mentions that his mother has been researching the phenomenon despite it not being in her field, and she has a submarine drone searching the water as it's too dangerous for boats and planes. Zayto recalls that the Ninja Nexus Prism dove into Pine Ridge Bay, wondering if it is connected to what the Morphin Masters sent it to search for on Earth. Despite Javi wanting to interview Dr. Akana for the weather, Ollie says she is too busy for one. Instead, Ollie offers to do the interview as he helped build the submarine and goes to check on his mom, hoping that she could find a clue as to what the Prism was doing on Earth.

Ollie goes off to Pine Ridge Bay to see his mom researching the phenomenon. With her laptop running slow, Ollie suggests that she buy her a new one, specifically the X335 laptop and tells her it's on sale. However, Dr. Akana tells Ollie he does not need to buy every new tech he sees. Unbeknownst to them, Mucus and Slyther are spying on them, wanting to know what is causing the storm so they can steal it for Void Knight. After hearing about Ollie talk about a new laptop, Slyther has an idea.

Suddenly, they all hear people screaming in the distance, so Ollie goes to investigate. He sees crowds of people running away in fear from the marina, when he spots a Sporix Cell and it hatches into the Sporix Beast, Tidemare. Ollie calls the Rangers and morphs to fight against Tidemare. However, the Sporix Beast proves to be a challenge until the others arrive. Zayto tries to use the Blazing Dino Key's Blazing Dino Armor, but Tidemare cancels his Blazing Fury Blast out with his Splashnado attack. He fires a powerful water blast at the Rangers and runs away, with Slyther and Mucus following him to recruit.

Once the fight ends, the Rangers check on Dr. Akana to see if she is okay. Fortunately, she is, though she complains about how slow her laptop is. While Zayto, Amelia, and Izzy go back to Dinohenge for any alerts about Tidemare, Javi and Ollie go back to BuzzBlast for the interview. There, Jane and an emcee, Mr. Wiz promote a gumball in a jar contest for a brand new X335 laptop that Ollie was talking about earlier. Seeing that piques Ollie’s interest as it was the same model he wanted, but Javi tells him to focus on the interview. Still, Ollie gets distracted by his need for the laptop and makes a guess while doing the interview. He guesses correctly and wins the laptop. However, Javi is angry at Ollie for ruining his interview, though the latter rudely tells him that the new laptop could help his story. As the two leave for the Bay, Mr. Wiz is seen grinning sinisterly at this.

Ollie sets the new laptop up and transfers the data from his mother's old laptop into it. The new laptop speeds up the process and finds an object emitting gold energy. The sub drone grabs it to drag it to the surface, but that was not what Dr. Akana wanted it to do. She realizes somebody else is controlling the sub by hacking into her system. Javi and Ollie discuss this matter with the former noting how convenient the new laptop appeared at BuzzBlast. Fearing that Void Knight could be responsible, Ollie contacts the Rangers back at Dinohenge and asks Solon to scan any foreign frequencies. Solon finds one a mile from where they are, and Zayto tells them they will meet them there.

They find Slyther, Mucus, and Tidemare in the quarry controlling the sub drone. Ollie accuses Slyther of hacking into his new laptop, but the latter reveals that he was Mr. Wiz, the emcee at BuzzBlast who made the competition. Slyther and Mucus teleport to the Bay to collect the object for Void Knight, leaving Tidemare to fight the Rangers alone. They morph, but Tidemare still proves to be a tough opponent for the Rangers even with their Boost Keys (with Zayto using the Shield Dino Key, Amelia using the Spin Dino Key, Ollie using the Elasto Dino Key, Izzy using the Balloon Dino Key, and Javi using the Hyper Dino Key), and hits them with a Sonic Splash attack.

As Dr. Akana struggles to control the sub drone, she sees Slyther and Mucus walk down to the beach. Hiding behind her table, she sees them dragging the object to shore. Once Mucus drags the object to shore, it emits a strong light as a figure emerges from it, looking like a Power Ranger. Realizing that, Mucus and Slyther retreat as Dr. Akana watches in awe.

Back at the quarry, the Rangers continue to struggle against Tidemare as he blocks Javi's Hyper Strike with his Splash Shield and fires a water blast at them, causing their Boost Sleeves to cancel out. With the Rangers knocked down, Tidemare charges at them, only to be shot down by an unknown blast. Then, the savior comes down to help the Rangers, revealing themselves as a Gold Ranger. Everybody is shocked by the appearance of this new Ranger, with Zayto being the most shocked out of all of them.

The Gold Ranger use his Mosa Blaster to fire a Mosa Blast at Tidemare, forcing the latter to summon the Hengemen for support. The Gold Ranger uses his Mosa Blade to fight against the Hengemen, even using the Blade's teeth to cut through one’s shield. Then, the Gold Ranger pulls out the Electro Dino Key and activates the Electro Battle Armor. With his attacks amplified with electricity, the Gold Ranger strikes down the Hengemen and shocks Tidemare through his Splash Shield, as water conducts electricity. When Tidemare prepares a powerful water blast, the Gold Ranger combines his two weapons together to form the Gold Fury Blade Blaster and fires a powerful Electro Fury Blade Blast. The attack pierces through Tidemare’s water attack and defeats him.

With the battle over, the Rangers demorph, and all but Zayto thank the Gold Ranger for their help. The Gold Ranger greets Zayto, but before more questions could be asked or answered, the former teleports away. Zayto wonders if that was who he thinks it is, but the moment is cut short when Izzy notices Tidemare’s Sporix Cell and goes to grab it, but Zayto takes it first and says he will take it back to base before teleporting away while the rest of the team goes back to the Bay to check on Dr. Akana.

Dr. Akana explains that the Gold Ranger was the one causing the storm, where since he's connected to the Morphin Grid, his lightning powers were building up in the pod and then ionized the air above. Trying to keep their identities a secret, the Rangers play dumb and are amazed by this revelation. Still, Ollie feels guilty that his need for new technology put his mom at risk and ruined Javi’s interview. To make up for it, Ollie gives Javi his new headphones and asks if he still needs a story for BuzzBlast. Before Javi can pitch his new one to Jane, the group sees her doing a livestream with people trying to blow the biggest bubble ever with the gumballs Slyther left behind. Jane accidentally throws some gumballs into the air that J-Borg catches in her mouth, where she chews them all and creates a giant bubble, only for the gum to get everywhere when it pops.

Etymology

Being centered around the new Ranger and his water- and thunder-based attacks, this episode is named for the weather phenomenon known as storm surge, caused when an event momentarily raises the maximum volume of water that will impact a given area. This surge is measured by the height of a wave that makes landfall.

Notes

• Total Sporix Beasts Collected:
  • Void Knight: 7
  • Dino Fury Rangers: 8
• Void Knight is absent in this episode, but is mentioned.
• The as-of-yet unnamed Gold Ranger remains morphed throughout the entire episode.
• This is the first episode to have a Sporix Beast be destroyed before he could grow giant.
• Ollie's new laptop's model series (X335) is a reference to the morph code of the Astro Morphers (3-3-5) in Power Rangers in Space.
• This marks Dr. Akana's first appearance since "Sporix Unleashed"; which makes her thirteen episode absence between appearances the longest of any character featured thus far.
