Chapter 21: Malkor’s Return

“Alright, so close to Christmas,†Jake said as he sat down with the others at lunch, “Is nobody else excited? Christmas will be here soon, school will be out, and we beat the machines! Come on guys!â€

“There’s still…,†Troy started.

“Yeah, Malkor and Vrak, we all know,†Jake said, “Oh, and Hexatrix, but come on. We beat the machines! Let’s celebrate a little bit! We did after we beat the Orgs.â€

“But this time we know that there’s another potential enemy out there,†Troy told him.

“We don’t,†Noah said, “We can assume it’s possible based on what Rots said, but we shouldn’t believe it true until we see it.â€

“See? Noah’s got it,†Jake said, “Now come on, let’s do something! Something as a group! And not training,†he warned.

“I think it would be a good idea,†Emma said, “We do deserve to have some time to ourselves every so often. We can’t just spend all of our time training.â€

“She’s right,†Gia said, “I do think we need to focus a lot, but we can’t let it all be training.â€

“Ok, we’ll do something,†Troy said, “You figure it out though.â€

“I will, no problem,†Jake said.

“I wonder how the Phantom Ranger is doing,†Noah said, putting another topic out there, “He seemed pretty beat up after Meching’s attack.â€

“I still have his weapons,†Troy said, “I should get those back to him…â€

There were explosions outside. They all rose to their feet as they heard people screaming and running. The Rangers didn’t move anywhere; they waited for the crowd to pass and then ran outside, loading their Morph cards.

Outside the school was an orange-red colored insect warrior with black armor over his torso and a few wings. He held odd weapons in his hands that were knuckle-like, but each one had two swords protruding out from them. (note: Goseiger movie monster)

“Another insect?†Gia questioned.

“I thought we got all of them,†Emma said.

“You probably did,†it said in a high pitched voice, “But I’m different! Look at my armor!†It clasped one weapon to its chest to show the armor, “Do you know what this means?â€

“It’s just like what Vrak, Clawhate and Malkor had,†Troy said.

“That’s right!†the insect warrior said, “I may not be an Admiral, but I am of rank! And how dare you not call Admiral Malkor by his rank!â€

“Let’s make short work of him,†Jake said, opening his belt, “He’s getting on my nerves!†He drew his Shining Morph Card and pulled his Morpher off his belt. He loaded it and closed it, but something happened that nobody expected.

Gold energy erupted from the Morpher and flew towards the insect, flying into the horn-like attachments to his torso armor. He laughed, “Your powerup is useless against me!â€

Noah stepped forward and loaded his card, grabbing his Shark Bowgun, “Alright then, new plan.â€

Jake drew his weapon from his belt and fired from his hip, distracting the insect. He danced back to avoid Jake’s shot, but was struck twice by Noah’s arrows to the chest. He cried out as he stumbled back.

“Weapons only guys!†Troy called, “We don’t know if he can negate our other cards!â€

Emma and Gia lifted their weapons while Troy lifted the Phantom Ranger’s sword instead of his own. Jake fell back, lifting his Snake Axe.

“Before we begin, allow me to introduce myself,†he told them, “My name is Vice Admiral Vertes of the Vago Empire!†He raced forward and lifted his blade weapons.

He clashed with Jake’s axe and Gia’s claw, holding them both against one of his weapons. Emma and Noah tried to fire, but he swung out his other weapon to knock both blasts away.

Troy rolled under him and thrust upwards, but he swung his weapon down and kicked Jake and Gia back. He swung his other claw down to stop the next round of shots fired by the ranged Rangers and then stomped on Troy’s chest before leaping back, using his wings to give him some distance.

Before he could attack again, he looked to the sky, and then back at the Rangers, “Bye!†he said, laughing a little as he vanished.

“What was that about?†Emma wondered as the Rangers came together.

“I don’t like the sound of him having something better to do in space,†Noah said.

“We should go see the Phantom Ranger,†Troy said. All of them reached for their Morphers on their hips, teleporting.


Vertes walked through the hall towards Hexatrix, who stood outside of a closed door. She looked at him, “It is time,†she said.

“Finally!†Vertes said with glee as the door opened and the cocoon continued to crack and pulsate, until a blinding pulsation hid the destruction of the cocoon.

They heard one foot step into the hall, and then the other. “I am back,†Malkor’s voice hissed, “I have been reborn!†he shouted as the mist hid his form.


Troy held the blaster and Morpher out, so the Phantom Ranger took them and set them aside, “Thank you,†he said, and then motioned to one of the monitors, “Earlier this morning a small ship made contact with the Vago Empire ship. If any other ships have made it, I haven’t been able to detect them. I suspect they’ve been employing jamming technology of some sort. Or more likely, in the case of the Orgs, magic,†he told the Rangers.

“And this Vice Admiral didn’t?†Noah asked.

The Phantom shook his head, “Either he didn’t have it, or he wanted us to find him,†the Phantom said.

“Considering he attacked a few hours after arriving, I’m assuming secrecy wasn’t an issue,†Gia said, “He probably got information on where to find us from Vrak or something, and set to immediately attacking.â€

The Phantom Ranger nodded, “I fear as much. But to me, this is also a good thing.â€

“How so?†Noah asked.

“His ship was small. I don’t believe he brought an attack force with him, and if he did, they won’t number very highly. This might not be part of a bigger invasion; it might not even be a lengthy engagement. It might be momentary support or a check in on how the current attack is progressing.â€

“How is that a good thing?†Gia asked, “He’ll see that we’ve wiped out their attacks every time.â€

“If he was brash enough to launch an immediate attack, we can destroy him before he can accomplish much,†the Phantom Ranger said.

“He stole my Shining Mode,†Jake said, looking at everyone, “Just thought you should know.â€

The Phantom nodded, “Don’t use Shining Mode,†he told everyone, “Destroying him should fix it.â€

“Then he’d better stay,†Jake muttered, “Black and gold look good together.â€

“The next time he shows himself, I will be there,†the Phantom said, “What disturbs me is that he left and returned to the ships so suddenly…â€

“It disturbs all of us, I think,†Troy said.

“I’ve tried,†the Phantom said, “We still can’t teleport there to find out what’s happening, or take the fight to them.â€

“The Zords come from space,†Noah said, “From another world. Can’t they take us up?â€

“They could,†the Phantom said, “But the ship will see us coming. I don’t think we want to risk it.â€

“Point taken,†Noah said with a nod.

“Alright,†the Phantom Ranger said, “Go back to school. I’ll alert you to any disturbances.â€

The Rangers began to teleport, until it was only Noah. He looked at the Phantom Ranger, “Don’t you ever get lonely, just here with your technology and sensors all day? Just searching for an attack and trying to fix your own body?â€

“…Noah, don’t worry about me,†he told the Blue Ranger, “I’ve had a lot of time alone…and not alone…â€

“What?â€

“Nothing,†he said, “Have a good day.â€

“Y-yeah,†Noah nodded, teleporting.


“I was always fascinated by science,†Noah told Troy, “Well, fascinated by science fiction. My father watched a lot of old shows, and I started watching them with him when I was a boy, and I was amazed. As a child you don’t always know what’s real and what’s not. I had a hard time figuring that out, but I didn’t care. I was just blown away.

“When I started to learn the difference between science and science fiction when I was…maybe eight or ten, I started to watch actual science programs. A lot went over my head, and I still watched science fiction as well. I was amazed by what was real, and what we were getting closer towards doing that was in the realm of science fiction. And of course, the technology the Power Rangers used was amazing.

“As we kept bridging those gaps, I knew I wanted to be a part of it. I started to study a lot and became the best student I could. I sacrificed interaction with others and I lost friends, but…it’s too late to regret that now. I have new friends, and I have a mission. But anyway, I did the best I could for my future, and just kept working towards that goal.â€

“And how did you and Jake become friends? You two seem really different.â€

“We were assigned a project together as freshmen,†he told Troy, “He kind of clung to me ever since because I did most of the work. I enjoyed having a friend, because trust me. If you go a long time without any significant human contact or conversation, you start to want it. Even if Jake was so different, I wanted someone to talk to about anything. Being intelligent and reclusive aren’t a good combination. I love being intelligent, but there’s no way I could ever go back to being alone. Why do you ask, anyway?â€

“About your story?†Troy asked.

Noah nodded, “Yeah.â€

“We’ve been fighting together for months now,†Troy said, “But…I feel like we don’t know each other as well as we should.â€

Noah nodded, “I see. We should all probably work on that a bit.â€

Troy nodded, “Yeah…â€


“How many Stingers do you have in your army?†Malkor questioned Vertes, standing in the shadows while the Vice Admiral and Hexatrix stood nearby.

“Quite a number,†Vertes said.

“Dispatch all of them,†Malkor hissed.

“A-all of them?†Vertes asked, “The fleet is still weeks away…â€

“All of them,†Malkor said again, “Must I repeat myself again?†his anger rose.

“N-no!†Vertes said, “I will send them all!â€

“Meching and Mecharess had a few machines left over,†Hexatrix said, “I will see to activating and deploying them.â€

“See to it,†Malkor said, “And Vrak? What has happened to the Prince?â€

“Meching and Mecharess happened,†Hexatrix told him, “Furus got angry and, well, you know his temper. He did a lot of damage to Vrak, and those two saved his life. He’s a cyborg now, but sadly without his memory. He’s just a puppet.â€

Malkor growled. There was no telling if he believed Hexatrix’s lie or not.

“Just send the forces,†Malkor hissed.

Vertes nodded and ran off, while Hexatrix approached, “Is this about his father?†Hexatrix questioned.

“Nobody expected everyone to come out in one piece,†Malkor said, “It shouldn’t matter what state he’s in. He chose to be a soldier, and look at what happened. It’s his fault.â€

“I will make sure to back you if the King is angry,†Hexatrix said.

Malkor nodded in the shadows, but he said nothing.


[Goseiger 43. 6:09-6:23]

Something started to emerge from the water. It soon became apparent that it was three of the initial machines or the upgraded version fielded by the machines, along with a small army of Stingers.

The machines fired and everything came ashore. The machines continued to fire from their chest cannons and threw arms forward, signaling the Stingers forward.

[End Sentai footage]

The Rangers ran down the beach in response to the Phantom Ranger’s censors. They slid to a stop.

“That’s a lot of enemies,†Jake said.

“We’ll get them,†Gia said.

“It’s the machines that worry me,†Emma commented.

“Let’s go,†Troy said. Everyone lifted their Morphers.

[Goseiger 43. 6:32-6:33]

The machines fired from their chests again.

[Goseiger 43. 6:36-8:12]

“Mega Morph!†was heard as the flames faded and the Rangers stood in Morphed form, weapons in hand. Stingers raced forward, and the Rangers ran in to engage.

They fought at close range with their personal weapons, cutting down Stingers everywhere. Explosions erupted around them as they fought alone, fighting in parimarily close range, shouting with every blow and taking advantage of whatever they could: Emma flew a little through the air; Gia dug into the ground and continued to pop out.

Noah was running and gunning more than anything else, fighting smart and using cover before switching to his close range battle.

“Knight Mode!†erupted out as the Phantom Ranger’s Zord mode approached from the sky and changed forms. He went to his sword and began to cut down Stingers everywhere, before switching modes and opening fire, destroying the group he fought.

The Rangers came together as the three machines stood there. They began to beep and twist their blaster arms a little. All of them moved as if trying to express thoughts while they beeped, and then shouts came from the Rangers.

“Land and Sea Blaster!â€

“Sky Blaster!â€

“Knight Rapid!â€

The three machines were each struck and exploded.

The Phantom Ranger had used his Rapid Lion, while Troy and Emma had combined weapons, while Noah, Gia and Jake had combined theirs.

Troy swung the weapon down, “Got them,†he said.

Noah pulled his weapon back and the Phantom Ranger lowered his weapon.

[End Sentai footage]

“Was that it?†Troy wondered.

“Let’s hope so,†the Phantom Ranger responded. He looked back, “This way!†he announced, “The base is transmitting something to me! There’s danger!â€

The Rangers looked at each other and ran up the beach, towards the forest up ahead.


The Rangers ran and ducked under tree limbs, but slowed. There was heavy mist settling in all around them. The Phantom Ranger split off from them and ran another way without a word.

“What is this?†Gia questioned.

“Did anyone hear that?†Emma asked, looking around, “It sounded kind of like a horn…â€

[Goseiger Movie. 16:25-16:34]

From out of the mist came fallen insectoid monsters. Longhorn, Beezara and Weevurn. However they were immediately struck by a firearm and blasted back. They all turned to see the Phantom Ranger stepping from the fog, firearm up.

“This is as far as you go,†he told the figures, “I will stop you here!â€

[Goseiger Movie. 16:36-16:48]

With his sword down, he slashed at the three as each one came for him, knocking them back. He slashed Longhorn to the ground.

“Rapid Lion!†he called as he lifted his firearm up, ready to use his finishing attack. He thrust it out, “Knight Rapid!†he shouted as he fired, spinning in a circle. He fired on a small army of insect monsters, all of the insects fielded by the Vago Empire, including the insects they had used during their first invasion.

He span in a circle, striking each of them. Upon being struck they turned into stone and shattered. The Phantom turned, “Illusions!†he called.

[End Sentai footage]

“Illusions?†Troy asked as the mist faded and the Phantom rejoined them.

He nodded, “The horn caused illusions. They were physical, but not very strong. Still, with numbers it was safe to be able to take them out in one go.â€

“Do you think it was the Vice Admiral?†Emma asked, “He had those horns on his armor.â€

“Very likely,†Noah said, looking around the trees, “Let’s go. There’s still danger ahead, right?†he asked the Phantom Ranger.

The Knight nodded, “Yes, let’s move on.â€

The team began to run through the woods again, but it didn’t take much longer to arrive at their goal.

“More mist?†Jake questioned.

“I wonder if we can blow it away,†Emma said, looking at her Morpher.

Troy looked around, “This is where the danger is, right?†he asked the Phantom Ranger, who nodded. “Then we should try.â€

He lifted his Morpher and pulled it open, but there was a sound up ahead. A cracking, as if someone had stepped on a stick. They froze for a moment, but then Troy reached for his belt.

Something bolted out of the trees behind them. Vertes slammed into Troy from behind and carried him into the mist. The Rangers shouted his name and ran after him, only for him to leap out and kick Noah and Gia. As soon as he drew his legs down and landed, he lifted his weapons and span to slash Jake and Emma before catching the Phantom Ranger’s sword.

“I was impressed you saw through my trick so fast,†Vertes told the Phantom, “I expected you to be with them when the illusions attacked. Oh well.†He pushed back and slashed the Phantom once across the chest before slamming a kick into him to knock him into a tree.

He reached his arm back, ready to plunge the blade weapons into the Phantom’s chest, but Jake wrapped his arms around Vertes’s arm and pulled back. He threw Vertes to the ground, and as the insect rose, Troy leapt out of the mist and kicked him in the back with a shout.

Vertes rolled and looked at the six as they regrouped. He shook his head, “Fine,†he muttered, disappearing as heavier mist rolled in.

“Where is he?†Jake muttered.

“Let’s blow it away,†Troy said, “Wind Drive!†He loaded it, but the wind didn’t blow the mist at all. “What?†he shouted.

“Don’t try,†the Phantom said. He looked around, “We should leave. Now. We’re vulnerable in the mist. I’ll head up,†he said.

As he shifted into Zord mode and shot through the treeline, Vertes leapt out at the Rangers one way. They all turned and fired from their hips, blasting him back into the smoke. Then there was silence.

Something smashed into them from behind, causing all of them to scream out in pain. Their Morphers began to spark from the force, and then they all hit the ground hard. They groaned and picked themselves up, finding themselves in the quarry instead of the woods.

“How did that happen?†Noah questioned.

“I did that,†Malkor’s voice told them.

“Malkor!†Troy shouted. They all looked up, seeing Vertes and another figure. A green armored figure who looked more like a grasshopper, but he still held some of the features Malkor had. It was different, but it was still clearly the Admiral. (note: do closeup shots here on his body, as with any new debut of importance, all made up of US footage instead of Sentai)

The Rangers came to their feet and Jake stepped forward.

[Goseiger Movie. 19:12-19:13]

“Rangers!†Malkor shouted as he threw an arm forward, “I’m reborn!â€

[Goseiger Movie. 19:03-19:06]

Vertes walked forward a little, “Admiral, allow me to begin…â€

As he said this, the Rangers moved into defensive stances.

[End Sentai footage]

Vertes ran forward, lifting his claws. Gia stepped forward, as did Emma. The girls looked to each other and nodded as they ran to intercept him. But he was strong, and he rammed into both of them and carried them on as he ran.

“W-wait!†Jake shouted after them.

An explosion rocked them and the three men shouted.

[Goseiger Movie. 20:07-22:30]

Vertes lowered his arm, producing his claw weapons again, “I’ll destroy you two!†he shouted at the girls as they were in the forest.

The girls ran towards him, over a small ridge. He shouted as he threw both weapons forward, sending them flying like throwing weapons. They span threw the air, but the girls grunted and rolled under them. As they came back they rolled aside to avoid them.

“Blasters!†Gia called as both grabbed their sidearms and fired, blasting the weapons out of the air, shattering them.

“N-no!†Vertes shouted, “My weapons!†He screamed in rage as he ran towards them.

“My turn,†Emma said, throwing herself forward with her legs first, hovering through the air with her Sky powers. She landed both feet on Vertes in a kick, causing him to grunt as she hovered him through the forest. He cried out, “Come on, calm down!†she shouted, “It’s annoying!†She turned her firearm up and fired a few rounds into his chest before letting him go free. He rolled across the ground and landed in the leaves.

Gia leapt over him and he cried out as she grabbed him with her legs. She clawed her way across the ground, dragging him, “Here’s some Earth power for you!†she called out. She finally stopped and pushed herself up, flipping off of him and sending him flying back.

Vertes hit a tree and cried out as he then landed on the ground in pain. He groaned and came up, but Emma was hovering again, with Gia on her back. Both of them had their weapons in hand, shouting as they neared him.

“Let’s finish him!†Emma called.

“Right!†Gia answered, both of them lifting their weapons.

“But your weapons can’t combine!†he screamed out.

Both of them slashed him instead. He cried out as their energized slashes cut his torso. He turned to stone immediately and then shattered.

Meanwhile, Malkor was engaging Troy alone. Troy was shouting as he tried to slow Malkor’s advance with his sword, but Malkor was too strong and kept pushing him back, “I just want you for now,†Malkor hissed as he pushed Troy through a construction area and then threw him through a boarded up window. He shouted as he went through and landed painfully on the other side.

Troy immediately drew his sidearm with his Dragon Zord head attached and aimed it out for Malkor, but even the powered blast was deflected by Malkor’s staff. “First you, and then the other two,†Malkor growled as he deflected another shot. He thrust his arm out and fired a green blast of energy which struck Troy and his firearm. Troy cried out and stumbled, and the Zord head fell from his weapon, burned and useless.

“No!†Troy called, looking down at it, and then back out at Malkor. He drew up his sword.

Malkor pointed his staff forward, “We duel,†Malkor hissed. The two walked sideways and then rushed a bit faster. Troy went over some obstacles and made his way to Malkor’s side, swinging his sword down, but Malkor deflected it off of his staff and slashed Troy a few times before taking him to the ground.

“Take this!†Malkor shouted, stabbing at the ground multiple times, but Troy rolled to avoid being impaled. He finally kicked both legs up and crossed them to catch the staff. He pushed back to push Malkor back and then rose and used some agile swings of his sword in arcs to deflect the oncoming attacks.

He backflipped over the next attack and caught the next one on his sword, before getting a slash in. He followed it up with a few more slashes to Malkor’s chest and then kicked him back with a shout.

Malkor growled, “Here!†he shouted, throwing an arm forward and firing green energy for Troy. It twisted around the Red Ranger and constricted him, causing Troy to cry out in pain.

He was lifted into the air and Malkor turned in a circle, holding him out there, “Yes, you are in my power,†he hissed before letting to and sending Troy into the wall, causing him to hit it hard and fall. “I don’t understand how you were able to overpower me before,†Malkor said, switching his staff to his other hand.

Troy groaned and ran. Malkor turned and ran after him, leaping over every obstacle and finally firing rapidly, but Troy floated through the air and turned to face him.

“I’m not running!†he shouted as he came back for Malkor, “I will never run!â€

Malkor shouted and moved towards him. He thrust an arm forward, “Try this!†he shouted, firing more green energy.

Troy slashed each bolt down and fired with his sidearm, striking Malkor multiple times. He could hear Malkor’s grunts, and then came around and started to slash him, spinning in a circle to score multiple slashes quickly, shouting each time he made contact, just as Malkor did. Finally he used an energized slash, sending Malkor flying back and down a hill.

[End Sentai footage]

Malkor landed back in the quarry just as the girls arrived to help Noah and Jake up, and Troy came leaping down after Malkor. He returned to the Rangers as Malkor picked himself up.

“Nice try,†Malkor hissed. He cast his staff aside and threw his hand up. His axe span down from the sky and into his grip, “Ah, welcome back,†he said.

The Phantom Ranger shot down and resumed Knight Mode as he stood by the Rangers, “I apologize for the delay,†he told them, sword in hand.

“It’s Malkor,†Troy told the Phantom Ranger, who just nodded.

“Come and face my steel,†Malkor hissed, drawing his axe back as he raced towards them.

“Vertes is destroyed,†Emma reported.

“Then we can use Shining Mode,†Troy said reaching for his card, but Malkor was upon them, swinging down. The Phantom Ranger intercepted, but was kicked back. Malkor swung out, but the Rangers fell back to evade.

“I won’t let you,†Malkor growled.

“Alright then,†Troy said, thrusting his hand out. He gripped the Dragon Dagger and swung his sword out. Malkor caught it on his axe and pushed up. He swung down, but the Dagger parried.

Emma rolled over and slashed upwards with her Drago Sword, catching Malkor across the side. He growled and grabbed her with his free hand. He span and threw her into the Phantom Ranger and then span, slashing Troy down.

Jake leapt at Malkor with both of his axes in hand, swinging both weapons for the insect leader. Malkor parried with his axe and forced them down. He punched Jake in the face and then span around to slam the flat of his weapon into the oncoming Noah. Gia leapt over the downed Noah and slashed with Saba, but Malkor punched her in the chest before she could make contact.

Malkor span around and swung his axe down for Troy, but Jake intercepted with his twin axes. “Go!†Jake shouted. Troy came to his feet and slashed with both weapons from both sides, sending Malkor stumbling back. He looked to see the Phantom Ranger slashing him three times with the Golden Power Staff before Noah and Emma thrust their swords into his chest and sent him staggering back farther.

Gia, Jake, Emma and Noah lifted their sidearms with their Zords mounted on and fired as one. The combined stream crashed into the axe which Malkor was now using as a shield, and then the weapon shattered and he staggered back from the combined power of their blast.

Malkor’s staff flew to his hand, but the Phantom Ranger leapt down, slashing him twice with his Staff. Troy leapt off of the Phantom Ranger’s back and came down, ramming the Dragon Dagger down across Malkor’s chest, green energy covering the weapon for additional damage.

Malkor stumbled back, his body sparking. He growled, “I see you’ve grown as well, Rangers,†he hissed.

[Goseiger Movie. 22:47]

Zombats flew down.

[Goseiger Movie. 22:51-23:07]

The glowing Malkor became a sphere and moved away from the quarry. He enlarged in town, shouting, “Now you shall feel the full power of my anger, Rangers!†he screamed out as he moved his staff. He started to swing it, “I’ll destroy everything!†The staff rammed into the ground, causing the street to start to explode.

Jake pulled out a card and looked to the others as they watched Malkor’s rampage, “Guys, Megazord time, let’s do it.â€

They reached for their Morphers, but Troy said something, “We can’t use Star Guard or King,†he told them. He drew his damaged Zord, “Dragon is damaged.â€

[End Sentai footage]

The Phantom Ranger walked towards them, “Use the Star Knight,†he told them, he turned and looked at the destruction, “I fear I can’t join this fight. By using my Zord form on top of already being damaged, I won’t be of much use.â€

“It’s ok,†Troy told him, “Just teleport out of the danger zone. We’ll handle it.â€

The Phantom Ranger nodded and teleported. Everyone reached for their belts.

[Goseiger Movie. 23:37-24:52]

They drew their Morphers and Troy looked to the others, “Ok guys, it’s Knight’s turn!â€

They moved into a line as they opened their Morphers and loaded the cards into place. “Star Knight!†they called as they thrust their Morphers up. A card appeared before them and the Bird Zord emerged, with the other Zord heads mounted on it. It flew off while the Rangers watched it go.

“Let’s go!†Troy said.

The Rangers ran and leapt, landing in the cockpits. They each loaded their Morpher onto the console as the Zord flew towards Malkor. Each head opened fire with a beam attack, forcing Malkor to grunt in pain as he defended himself. The Zord pulled up and over him.

“Alright guys, Megazord!†Troy called from his cockpit. He drew his card as the others did, “Right!†they responded.

As the cards loaded, the four heads emerged as full Zords from the wings of the Bird Zord. Everyone pulled on their controls as the Bird sailed down and the other Zords connected to it. The axe from the Bird Zord’s tail flew around to be gripped as a weapon, and then the head emerged and was covered by the helmet.

The legs attached as they came towards Malkor, who stood and watched the formation.

“Star Knight Megazord!†they called as one as it finished.

“It won’t work!†Malkor shouted as he ran for them. He leapt over a bridge, “I’ll destroy you!â€

“Come on!†Troy shouted. They swung their axe in response to each swing of the staff. Explosions erupted around them from Malkor’s sheer power, and even the cockpit shook, although they kept control.

The axe came down again as did the staff, but they didn’t strike each other.

“Alright guys, we can do this. We beat him once, we can do it again!†Troy called, clenching a fist.

“We didn’t do a Megazord though!†Jake reminded as they swung the axe down, parrying the staff.

[Goseiger Movie. 24:55-25:02]

Malkor swung his staff down with a shout, slashing the Megazord back. The cockpit tilted and the Rangers shouted as the Megazord slammed into a building, bringing it down. They slumped down at their controls.

[Goseiger Movie. 25:04-25:16]

Malkor drew his arms out, “Do you see my power?†he questioned. He walked forward, “Surrender now and succumb to a swift fate, Rangers!†In the cockpit they all looked out at him as they tried to get back up.

He plunged his staff down, “The finisher!â€

[Goseiger Movie. 25:24-25:48]

Troy struggled at his controls, “We can do this!†Troy shouted, “Come on!â€

The Megazord launched the Zord heads off, except for Bird. They slammed into Malkor and beat him back, forcing his staff to the ground. The axe, meanwhile, shifted to the Bird Zord’s m€œNo!†Malkor shouted as he moved back.

The Rangers brought the Megazord to its feet, “Now, it’s time to end it!†Troy shouted, clenching his fist. “Axe Drive!†he shouted as he brought the card up.

He loaded it, and then the others did a moment later, “Axe Drive!†they called.

A card appeared behind the Megazord, readying the attack.

[Goseiger Movie. 25:52-26:00]

The Bird Zord launched off of the Megazord and span through the air sideways. Malkor stepped back, but it struck him in the chest and he cried out. The Zord returned to the Megazord.

[Goseiger Movie. 26:03-26:15]

Malkor growled in pain, “No…how…†He reached a hand out, “How can I lose to this scum?†he screamed as he fell to the ground, exploding behind the Megazord.

[End Sentai footage]

“We did it,†Troy said as they sat in the command center. He looked at everyone, “Malkor’s gone.â€

“But Vertes still brought a ship around,†Noah said, “There could be more.â€

“I know,†Troy said, “But we struck a blow to their command today. Malkor is gone!â€

“And I guess that’s reason enough to celebrate,†Gia said, turning to Jake, “Just like you wanted.â€

Jake smiled and pumped an arm in the air, “Yeah! I’m bringing you guys to my way of thinking!â€

Emma smiled, “It’s still up to you to figure out,†she teased.

“I don’t mind,†he said, “I’ll find us something good!â€

The Phantom Ranger looked on, giving a slight nod to the teenagers as he stepped away. A celebration wasn’t for him. No, he was solitary, alone.

This was their time to rejoice.

Chapter 22: The Shining Prince

After the defeat of Malkor, nothing else happened. There were no other monsters attacking, no grunts, no signs of Hexatrix or Vrak, the final two enemies they knew of. Of course there was fear of an invasion, knowing that the enemy was part of a larger host, but there was nothing that could be done about that.

“I still think we should try to take some Zords into space,†Noah told the Phantom Ranger, “We should investigate. Your scans aren’t detailed enough.â€

“I don’t think we should,†the Phantom said, “Yes, recon is good, but we would be risking a lot.â€

“And we might lose a lot if we don’t,†Noah told him, “What if something happens? An attack we weren’t expecting because you couldn’t detect it? We need to know what’s happening!â€

“No,†the Phantom Ranger answered, “I’m working on boosting my sensors to be more accurate. That’s safer, and if it turns out we do need to do something, we’ll send Zords up.â€

“The Star King has a ship mode!†Noah argued, “We can launch an attack on their ship with it! We could destroy whatever’s left of Malkor’s ship, and maybe even Vrak and Hexatrix with it!â€

“No, not yet,†the Phantom Ranger told him. “It’s Christmas tomorrow. Go and relax, and let me worry about this for now.â€

“…fine,†he muttered, “Until Christmas is over, I’ll leave it to you, but then I want to be part of this.â€

The Phantom Ranger nodded, “Got it. I’ll agree to that.â€

Noah teleported out of the command center, leaving the Phantom Ranger alone for now.


“Well you know, I have a father who has a good job, my mother usually stays at home, and I have a little brother who looks up to me,†Jake told Troy.

“That’s all you have to say?†Troy asked.

Jake nodded, “Yeah. You expected more?â€

“I was more curious about things like why you enjoy soccer so much, and…â€

“Not everyone’s life is a long story filled with interesting information,†Jake told him, “Besides, maybe I just don’t like talking about it in detail. Not that it was bad, I just don’t want to.â€

Troy sighed and stood up, “Fine. I’m going to go finish my shopping then…â€

“It’s Christmas Eve and you haven’t finished?†Jake questioned, “Wow, that’s risky.â€

“I’ll be fine,†Troy said, “It’s only one thing. I can find what I need.â€

“Oh?â€

“Your gift. Whatever I find is fine.â€

“Hey!â€

Troy shrugged, and then he relaxed and smiled a little, laughing. Jake just shook his head, but he too started to laugh after a bit.

“You know me so well,†Jake joked. But then he got deadly serious, “But seriously. Candy. A lot of candy.â€

“I don’t want to see you hyped up on sugar,†Troy said.

“Come on! It’s Christmas!†Jake told him.

Troy shrugged and walked off, laughing a little.


“Sometimes I wished we had a colder climate,†Emma said as she and Gia walked past some stores.

“Oh?†Gia asked, turning to her, “Why do you say that?â€

“Well, don’t you ever wish we could have thicker coats to wear? There are some nice ones.â€

“There are,†she agreed.

“And scarves,†Emma said, “I love scarves. I wish I had an excuse to wear one, but it’s too warm, even in winter…â€

“I don’t see the appeal, but if you say so,†Gia said.

“Come on, there’s a lot more too,†Emma told her, “Snow, snowmen, sledding, ice skating, sitting by a fire…â€

“We have fires at night, or we could,†Gia told her.

“But it’s different!†Emma insisted, “Sitting inside while the snow and cold is outside, having a fire in your fireplace and looking out at the falling snow. Maybe having cocoa or something to warm you…â€

“So, do you plan on moving then when you can?†Gia asked.

“W-what?†Emma asked, taken aback.

“Well, sounds like you’d rather live somewhere with a colder climate,†Gia said.

“No, I love the warmth,†she said, “I’m sure I’d get sick of the cold really fast. I’m happy to be living here, but maybe…maybe a month of snow and cold would be nice,†she said, “If only such a place existed…â€

“Someday maybe you’ll find a place like that,†Gia said. “A place to be happy.â€

“Well, I’m here with you,†Emma said, “I’m happy.â€

Gia smiled, “But we can’t be together forever.â€

“Why can’t we?â€

“We’ll take different jobs, different life paths…we’ll be friends, but I doubt we’ll always be together.â€

“But it would be nice if we could be,†Emma said.

“I don’t know, I might get annoyed by you…,†Gia teased.

“Glad Beezara’s not around to twist that into something worse,†Emma said.

“Yeah,†Gia sighed, “Did you catch what the Vice-Admiral said?†she asked Emma.

“That our weapons don’t combine?†Emma asked. She laughed a little, “Yeah, I heard that. I was angry at the time, but it’s kind of funny now.â€

Gia nodded, laughing a little, “Yeah, yeah it is.â€

The two stopped and looked at a community Christmas tree, “It’s so beautiful,†Emma said, looking at the green body, mixed with all the different colors of the different ornaments and the lights, “We should come back tonight and see it. I just wish they’d leave the trees up a bit longer.â€

“They usually go down the day after Christmas here, don’t they?†Gia asked, “I usually don’t pay attention to the date.â€

Emma nodded, “Yeah. They’re just so beautifully decorated. I love the tree my grandmother and I have, but it looks nothing like this! This is just done so beautifully, and it’s a shame to see it down so quickly.â€

Gia nodded, “Yeah…â€

Emma looked to her, “You don’t sound interested. I’m sorry.â€

“No,†she shook her head, “Don’t be sorry. I just don’t find the trees as appealing as you do, that’s all. They are beautiful, though.â€

“Sometimes I wonder if we’re meant to be friends,†Emma admitted, “I mean…â€

“Don’t,†Gia said, “Don’t go there. We’re friends, and we’ll always be friends. We may not have formed a friendship under the greatest circumstances, but we’re friends, and we always will be. We bonded, we found common ground. It’s not like our friendship came to be from really flimsy reasons. We have reasons to be friends, and those reasons grew stronger.â€

Emma nodded and smiled, “I’m sorry, I just…â€

“No, I get it,†Gia said, “I know we don’t have everything in common, but we have enough, and we bonded. Even if we lost everything in common, we’ve still bonded as friends, and that’s what matters.â€

The two turned and looked at the tree in silence.


Noah walked alone with his hands in his pockets. He stopped at the edge of the woods and looked up into the sky. “No,†he shook his head, “Get out of my head. Not until Christmas is over…â€

He started to walk on and looked out at the ocean. It calmed him, it made him forget about his conversation with the Phantom Ranger, and the fears he held about space and the enemies waiting there. He also remembered fighting Weevurn, and the abilities that Cam taught him.

[Insert archive footage from Inner Focus fight, including Cam scenes]

Noah smiled a little and walked on. “I wonder where you are Cam,†he said to himself, “I wonder how you’d react in this situation. Would you just take a Zord and go? Convince the others? Or…No. You’d boost the signal like the Phantom Ranger is doing.â€

He stopped and sighed, “I have to get this off my mind.†He turned and headed towards town. He’d find more things to distract himself with there. It was Christmas Eve, he’d find shops and decorations and trees and kids being excited. That would take his mind off of things.

As he walked through part of town, he saw Troy exiting a store with a small bag in his hand. “Troy?â€

“Oh, Noah,†he said, walking over to his friend, “Just doing one final bit of shopping for Jake.â€

“Last day?†Noah asked.

“I had to order something for him,†he said, “It just came in yesterday, and I couldn’t get down here to pick it up, so today,†Troy said.

“What is it?†Noah asked him.

“Autographed soccer ball,†he said.

“How much did that cost?†Noah asked, taken aback.

“Doesn’t matter,†Troy said.

“Who autographed it?â€

“A soccer player,†Troy said.

“Well obviously.â€

“Conner McKnight,†he said, “I know Jake’s said he likes him.â€

Noah nodded, “I’m sure he’ll like that,†Noah said as they walked.

“Something on your mind?†Troy asked him.

“Nothing important,†Noah said. “It can wait.â€

“You know what, I’m not going to ask,†Troy said, “If it can wait, I’ll wait. I don’t want you to tell me, and then I get worried too, and then we pass it on to the others…â€

“Wow, thanks,†Noah said sarcastically.

“I’m joking,†Troy said, “What is it?â€

“I want to take some Zords into space and see what’s going on at the ship,†Noah said quietly, “The Phantom Ranger wants to boost the signal first because it’s safer. He said if he can’t, we’ll revisit the Zord option after Christmas.â€

“It does sound dangerous,†Troy said, “If the Zord is destroyed, well…â€

“Yeah, we’d burn up,†Noah finished, “But if we take enough, we’d be fine.â€

Troy nodded, “I do think we should wait for the Phantom Ranger to try boosting first, though.â€

“I do too, but nothing’s happened for a while,†Noah reminded him, “I’m just a little afraid.â€

“I know what you mean,†Troy said, “It’s like we’re waiting for a shoe to drop. Vrak, Hexatrix…reinforcements. Something’s going to happen, and soon.â€

Noah nodded, “But we don’t have to fight on their terms, in ground combat. We could use Star King’s ship mode and just blow them out of space and protect the Earth in one go.â€

Troy nodded, “I think that’s Emma and Gia ahead,†he said, “Let’s not worry them.â€

Noah nodded and the two headed towards the tree.

“It’s Noah and Troy,†Gia said, looking back. Emma turned and waved to them as the four came together. “Present?†Gia asked Troy.

“Jake’s,†he responded, “I bought your presents already.â€

“And Jake’s is last, and almost late. It should suit him,†Gia joked.

“I wonder if we should stop those jokes,†Emma said, “He’s matured a lot.â€

“We probably should,†Gia agreed, “But for now they’re still entertaining, especially when he’s not around.â€

“I heard laughter!†Jake called from the other side of the tree. He came around and stood beside the others, “Were you laughing about me? It was about me, wasn’t it?â€

“No, of course not,†Troy told him.

“What was it then?†Jake asked.

“Noah made a joke,†Troy said, “It was pretty funny.†He looked at Noah, as did Jake.

“I like a good joke,†Jake told Noah.

Noah glanced angrily at Troy and then back to Jake. “Well, you see, it’s…â€

There was a beep from the Morphers. Everyone reached into their bags or pockets, and Noah sighed in relief. They hurried away from the tree and drew their Morphers out in a place where there was nobody to see.

“Rangers,†the Phantom Ranger told them, “I’ve detected a signal in your area. Five hundred yards east. It’s different and faint, but it’s something.â€

“Stingers?†Troy asked.

“It’s faint like that,†he responded, “But different.â€

“On it,†Troy said. He looked at the others, “Let’s Morph, just to be safe.â€

They nodded and started heading in the direction the Phantom Ranger had told them to go. When they were clear of people they loaded their Morph Cards and transformed.

The team ran, and the Phantom Ranger teleported in front of them. They slid to a stop when they saw him. “I chose to come as well,†he said. He looked at Noah, “Automated updates.†The Blue Ranger nodded and they ran off.

The team stopped by some fencing underneath the plaza, “Up ahead,†the Phantom Ranger told them. And then they heard something, so they stood their ground.

[Goseiger 39. 9:25-9:34]

A figure walked out of the darkness ahead of them. The footsteps were heavy and mechanical. It was Vrak, making his first appearance to the Rangers in his new body, while still at a loss for his mind.

As he walked from the darkness, his glowing blue eye was the only real light. His stride was militaristic and with some sort of purpose, ready.

[Goseiger 39. 9:39-9:44]

He walked towards the row of Rangers, with the Phantom at the head of the line. He stood there once he was out of the darkness.

[End Sentai footage]

“Weapons!†Troy shouted. Everyone summoned theirs to hand, but the Phantom stood there.

[Goseiger 39. 9:50-10:13]

“It’s Vrak…,†Troy muttered, “But…what happened to him?â€

“He’s been converted,†the Phantom said.

“Did he do it to himself?†Emma questioned.

“I…am…Vraaa-ak,†Vrak said, his voice a mix of his own and a monotone, machine-like voice.

“Hm…,†Noah said.

“I don’t think he chose it,†Gia said.

“He looks heavily armed, though,†Jake said, pointing.

Vrak said nothing. He remained stationary.

“Wait!†Troy told everyone as they prepared to move. “This is wrong.â€

[Goseiger 39. 10:24-10:55 (note: edit kanji on sign)]

“Vrak,†Vrak said. His armor opened to reveal a row of missiles which fired into the team, throwing all of them back. Vrak walked after them. Troy groaned and looked up at him.

“Did he…â€

“I am myself again,†Vrak said, “It just took a little visual reminder,†he told the Rangers. He started to chuckle softly, “Now it’s time to end you.â€

“I think it was forced on him,†Noah said as Vrak continued towards them, “But he overcame it.â€

“Because of us?†Emma asked, “We brought him back?â€

Vrak stopped.

[Goseiger 39. 11:11-13:01]

Troy rose and lifted a card to his Morpher, “We did,†Troy hissed, “But I’ll stop him.†His Shining Armor appeared and Troy stood his ground, “If seeing us brought him back, then I’ll destroy him and make up for it!†Troy said. He leapt for Vrak, who drew two large boomerang-like blades.

“Don’t make me laugh!†Vrak shouted. He leapt and they clashed in the air before they landed. Vrak slashed Troy across the chest and sent him back, and then leapt after him.

When Troy slid to a stop he put his sword out before him as Vrak approached.

“Come on!†Troy shouted as he ran for Vrak and slashed, but Vrak evaded the blow. He continued to parry with his boomerang blades, despite Troy’s swift, agile strikes. He finally caught the Shining Sword on both blades and pushed Troy back. Troy freed his blade and they clashed again before finally he scored a hit on Vrak’s arm.

Vrak caught his weapon and managed to get a shot into Troy’s chest. They clashed again, but Troy got a shoulder shot in, but then Vrak got a shot in as well. Both sides grunted with pain and effort as they fought on, until Vrak got Troy in the chest with both blades. He punched Troy in the face with one of the blades, sending the Red Ranger rolling away.

Troy came up to his knees, “Come on!†he shouted, leaping down at Vrak. Vrak leaned back and fired twin electrical pulses from his armor into Troy, causing him to fall with a shout of pain.

“You’re no match for me!†Vrak shouted as he charged energy into his boomerangs and threw them. They smashed through Troy multiple times before returning towards Vrak, and then shooting out again. Troy used his metal wings to deflect them, so they loaded into Vrak’s arms again.

Vrak’s missiles were revealed once more as Troy drew his Shining Sword forward, “Sky Dynamic!†he shouted, hitting the button and pulling the trigger.

The missiles and blast slammed into each other as the other Rangers ran up the stairs behind Vrak, Shining Swords in hand, already getting ready to transform. They loaded the gold Zords and took up the armor as the Phantom summoned the Rapid Lion.

Vrak turned and looked at them while the Rangers drew their Swords down.

“We’ll stop you here and now!†Gia shouted, “Prepare yourself Vrak!â€

The four attacks and the Knight Rapid flew forward, slamming into Vrak’s chest and staggering him back a few steps. Sparks flew around his body, and then Troy leapt at him from behind (note: edit out wings) and slashed him with an energized slash and a shout.

Vrak was thrown aside by the attack.

[End Sentai footage]

The Rangers ran after him.

[Goseiger 43. 8:18]

Vrak stood on a rock outcropping at the beach as the waves pounded the spot he stood.

[Goseiger 43. 8:41-10:17]

Vrak lowered his boomerang blades again and leapt with a shout onto the rocky area the Rangers stood. He slashed at Troy and the entire team moved to slash him, but he caught them on his armor and proceeded to shout and slash each one of them.

Gia and Noah came at him from behind and shouted. He blocked their blades with his own and slashed back, and then the same with Jake and Emma. Troy shouted as he rushed and they locked blades.

“I’ll stop you!†Troy shouted at him.

Vrak laughed as he pushed Troy’s blade aside and slashed him with both weapons before sending him back. He turned as Jake and Gia leapt at him from behind, shouting. Vrak leapt forward and slashed them both across the lower chest, under their armor, causing them to cry out as they fell.

He landed and engaged Noah and Emma. They shouted and grunted with most slashes, but he continued to parry. Vrak slashed Emma across the back and Noah across the torso before parrying again and getting more strikes in.

As Emma went down he stomped on her repeatedly until he dodged an energy bolt. He turned to see the Phantom Ranger’s blaster aimed at him.

“Move,†the Phantom hissed.

They rushed forward and engaged with their blades. They parried and evaded each other without a word, appearing evenly matched until Vrak used some rockets to blast himself back and out of the Phantom’s range.

The team came to regroup next to the Phantom Ranger. Vrak’s boomerangs started to glow as he threw them forward. They slashed every Ranger except the Phantom, who dodged back. They returned to Vrak’s arms shortly.

Troy panted and looked in Vrak’s direction.

Vrak’s missiles were revealed once more and he fired them, laughing as the team was overtaken by the explosions.

“How strong is he?†Jake shouted.

“Too strong,†Gia answered.

“Don’t think that way, or we can’t win,†the Phantom said. “Noah!†He flipped open his Morpher.

Noah rose, “Right,†he said, opening his Morpher.

“Press Shower!†they called out, firing a blsat of water into Vrak, trapping him.

“Rock Rush!†Jake and Gia called.

“Twist Tornado!†Troy and Emma called.

The rocks slammed into Vrak’s chest, and then the tornado threw him into the air, dropping him on the hard ground.

[Goseiger 43. 10:31-11:13]

Vrak rose as they set their Morphers onto their Shining Swords, and the Phantom got his Rapid Lion Zord set.

As he and the Rangers prepared their finishing attacks, Vrak watched, analyzing them with his robotic scanners which were still active. He analyzed everything as they fired their attacks individually.

“Shining Dynamic!†the team called. (note: edit out wings on the attack)

“Knight Rapid!†the Phantom called.

The blasts flew at Vrak, but he ired from his torso to neutralize them shortly. He shouted and threw his arms out.

[End Sentai footage]

There was a large explosion on the beach and Vrak’s screams could be heard.

[Goseiger 39. 13:01]

Vrak was thrown through the air.

[End Sentai footage]

“Let’s go!†Troy shouted, running after Vrak with the others.

The team arrived in the quarry, where Vrak was picking himself up. He turned and took a slash to both sides of the chest as Jake and Gia ran past him, shouting as they slashed him. Then Noah and Emma did the same, and then the Phantom Ranger thrust his sword into Vrak’s chest, staggering him back.

Troy shouted as he plunged his sword into Vrak’s chest next, sending him staggering back. He fell to a knee and looked at the team as they regrouped.

“You’re strong…I give you that,†he hissed, “You’ve improved while I’ve not been myself. While I’ve been confined to the ship, a slave of those machines…â€

“What?†Noah questioned, “So this was against your will.â€

“Of course it was. Do you think I would do this to myself? As powerful as I may be, this form is far from what I am! Using missiles, machinery…I use blades! I am a Prince, and trained as such! Only a fool like my brother would rely on this sort of weaponry.â€

“Your brother?†Emma questioned.

He rushed for them, shouting, but the five Rangers rushed forward and slashed him as one with their Shining Swords. He struggled against their weapons, but they pushed him back as he used the electrical charges from his lower chest again, blasting them back as well, knocking them out of Shining Mode.

Vrak picked himself up after a moment. The Rangers rose.

[Goseiger 45. 20:18-21:46]

Vrak looked down from the elevated position he had been knocked onto while the Rangers looked up at him.

“I’ll do it,†Jake said as he walked forward, grabbing his Morpher. “Rock Rush!â€

The boulder flew towards Vrak, but Vrak lifted his arm and said the same words. A rock flew and smashed into Jake’s to destroy it.

“What?†Jake shouted.

“Hm…,†the Phantom Ranger mused.

“Spark Quake!†Gia called as she loaded a card.

“Press Shower!†Noah called.

“Twist Tornado!†Emma called.

They did their triangulation again, just like against Meching. It condensed into a golden beam and was fired up at Vrak.

Vrak threw his arms to the side, creating a dark triangle, similar to what the others had done, but it negated their attack. He said nothing as he lowered his arms and the Rangers watched wordlessly.

“How did he negate that?†Jake shouted, pointing up at him.

“I have no ideas,†the Phantom Ranger admitted.

“Then we’ll go physical,†Troy said. He lifted his sword and leapt up for where Vrak stood. He shouted and flipped before landing and slashing, but the boomerang blade parried him. Troy shouted and took all of his acrobatic fencing slashes, but Vrak mostly stepped back instead of parrying. He parried a few and started to return the slashes, but Troy continued to parry.

“You’re good,†Vrak hissed as their battle continued. He cut Troy across the chest and took two more shots, “I’m better.â€

Troy grunted and drew his sword back. He thrust it forward, but Vrak parried it upwards and pushed down with both of his blades to keep Troy’s weapon down and locked.

“So strong…,†Troy muttered.

“You know, this body has reached its limits,†Vrak admitted, “Goodbye, Red Ranger.†His body began to glow blue.

“Troy!†everyone screamed out as there was a spark of power on Vrak. Electricity erupted from him, lashing out everywhere, causing explosions on everything the destructive power struck.

And then Vrak himself exploded, sending Troy flying back, screaming in pain. He landed as the others raced to his side, shouting his name. Troy groaned and looked up.

Through the flames stood a figure, with feathers coming out of parts of his form. Two piercing blue eyes stared out as he walked forward, revealing gold and white minimal armor on his body. There was utter silence.

The Rangers rose as Vrak looked down at them, and his body was shown to all of them.

“What is that form?†Troy shouted at him.

“He’s a Prince…,†the Phantom Ranger muttered.

“This is my princely form,†Vrak told them, “What I truly look like.â€

[End Sentai footage]

He was suddenly behind them. They all turned to face him in the quarry on an even level, but he didn’t turn to them, “This is my weakest state,†he admitted, “No practical armor of any sort. But the machines did do one thing right. I’m cybernetically enhanced, and hold your data to the point of replicating your card effects. I am stronger now, and can reveal my true self.â€

He turned to look at the Ranger, “We’re done playing. I am a Prince of the Vago Empire, and you are enemies of the Crown. Your ends shall come soon enough Rangers,†he pointed upwards, “Look.â€

Ships appeared in the sky, the same ships from the initial invasion (note: same models as Gokaiger. Saban already proved they could do this with “End Gameâ€). He laughed and threw his arms out, “Goodbye Rangers,†he said, vanishing instantly.

“Everyone, for now, the command center,†the Phantom Ranger growled, teleporting with the others.


“My scanners picked them up,†he told everyone, “But they only just arrived. They arrived and immediately appeared in the sky to threaten everyone.†He looked at Noah, “The plan of taking Zords up wouldn’t have mattered. This fleet would have destroyed them.â€

Noah nodded once and left it at that.

“They haven’t attacked yet,†Gia noticed.

“We’re lucky,†the Phantom Ranger said, “Our true fight begins now. Rest, Rangers. I’ll alert you to any changes.â€

“We shouldn’t leave you,†Troy said.

“Go. Spend Christmas with your families,†he said, “Or what you can of it, anyway.â€

There was some tense silence, and then the Rangers were teleported when the Phantom hit a button on the console.


The Phantom Ranger ran out in the night, lifting his blaster. He looked around, “Where are you…?†he muttered. He was weakened, but he should be able to handle a single sign himself.

“Here I am,†a voice said. He span around and fired into the darkness, but the figure was gone.

The Phantom turned around and lifted his weapon as a crimson armored figure approached him. The figure had what appeared to be a pirate had mounted into his head, along with skulls on his shoulders and white fur on his shoulders and part of his torso. He had a pirate motif going, but looked very threatening. (note: monster-Basco)

“Yome alone,†he told the Phantom Ranger, “My name is Vayne, and if you’ve never heard of me, I’m the most dangerous bounty hunter in the universe.â€

The Phantom Ranger shouted and thrust his arm forward. He fired, but Vayne just laughed.


The Rangers ran into the command center, but it was completely dark. Only after a few moments did the consoles activate, and a vicious face and crimson body appeared.

“Rangers,†Vayne said, “I have your mentor. If you want him back, come to the pier. Now.â€

The transmission ended.

“Who was that?†Jake questioned, “He…â€

“Looks incredibly dangerous,†Troy finished. He looked at the others, “We have to go! He has the Phantom Ranger! We have to save him!â€

Noah typed a little, “Ok, it’s set. Let’s go save him.â€

Everyone teleported.


The Rangers arrived on the docks, the same location where they had fought the first of the machines. They looked around in the dark.

“Everyone remain alert,†Troy said. Everyone had their weapon in hand, standing back to back and looking everywhere in the darkness.

“There’s something ahead!†Emma called, pointing forward. And then a shot rang out, striking towards their feet.

Everyone turned to face that direction.

[Gokaiger 5. 17:15-17:20]

A figure in red, but not Vayne, stood and twirled a gun around his hand and waist before lifting it.

Standing beside him were four others. They were Rangers: Pink, Green, Red, Blue, Yellow. All of them had the same motif with black and silver. “Rangers?†came a call from Jake in confusion.

They had pirate designs on their chests and helmets.

Each of them brandished blasters or swords, and the red one lifted his sword.

“Here we come,†said a distorted voice, and they all raced towards the Mega Rangers.

[End Sentai footage]

The five Mega Rangers stood and lifted their weapons, “Everyone, be ready!†Troy shouted, “They’re the enemy!â€

And then the pirate Rangers were upon them.

Chapter 1: Pirate Rangers, Part 1

The Pirate Rangers fell upon the Mega Rangers, each one wielding a firearm and a cutlass. Each Pirate attacked the corresponding colored Mega Ranger, except for the green one, which attacked Jake.

Troy ducked a swing of the Red Pirate Ranger’s sword and span around, “We’re both Rangers! We’re allies!†Troy shouted.

“Allies? Ha!†the other Red Ranger laughed as he lifted his firearm and let loose three shots into Troy’s chest. As Troy fell back, the other Ranger leapt at him and slashed him down the chest with his sword. Troy hit the ground hard with that blow.

Noah ducked the swing of the Blue Pirate Ranger’s sword and tried to lift his bowgun. The Pirate kicked it up, thus rending it useless, and then rammed his firearm into Noah’s chest and fired two shots pointblank, sending Noah flying back with a shout.

Jake swung his axe wildly, keeping the Green Ranger from getting near. Finally he thrust his sword up to catch the axe and then fired at Jake’s arm twice, forcing him to shout and drop the weapon. The Pirate pushed forward and kicked him back before firing two more rounds into his torso.

Emma ducked a high kick from the Pink Ranger and fired at nearly point blank, but the Pirate Ranger slashed the shots away with her cutlass. The Pirate turned and slashed, but Emma parried, only to find the firearm in her chest, knocking her back with a few shots.

Gia had discarded her claw in favor of her sidearm. She dodged away from her opponent’s sword before firing two shots, canceling the Pirate’s shots. Gia began to glow yellow, “OK, I’m not taking risks.â€

“Then neither will I!†the Pirate shouted, throwing her sword forward. The blade was controlled by a wire of some sort in the Pirate’s hand, and she swung it around, smashing it around Gia’s body before it finally threw her to the ground.

The Pirate Rangers regrouped and stood, watching as the others regrouped against them. Troy was leaning with his sword planted in the ground, panting.

“Why?†he hissed, “Why attack us? We’re all Rangers here!â€

“Not all Rangers are allies,†the Red Pirate stated, “And sometimes, Rangers cannot hold onto their power, and they fall into…other hands, shall we put it?†He lifted his firearm towards the team, “Your powers will become ours shortly.â€

“Just who are you people?†Gia demanded, “You defeated other Rangers, that’s clear enough, but who are you?â€

“We are vassals of the King!†Blue shouted.

“We are an advance guard, sent to lay waste to you five,†Yellow said.

“It’s not hard,†Green told them.

Pink shook her head, “We’re in another league entirely.â€

“Now…,†Red said, “Prepare!â€

Troy looked at everyone, “Gia!â€

She nodded and threw a hand forward, unleashing her Tiger Spirit. The Pirate Rangers backed away, although it acted more as a means of deterrence rather than an offensive attack. When the Pirates could see again, the Rangers were in their Shining Mode.

“Let’s try this again!†Troy shouted.

“No change,†the Red Pirate said, pointing his sword forward, “Go!â€

The two sides ran at each other and had their blades meet. They struggled, but the Pirates kicked the back or shot them in the chests, something to get them back. The Mega Rangers weren’t able to win, and as they stumbled back, the Pirates continued to press their attacks and smash them aside.

“Jake! Gia!†Troy shouted. He looked to his other side, “Emma!â€

Jake and Gia nodded and loaded a card into their Morphers. “Rock Rush!â€

“Twist Tornado!†Troy and Emma shouted.

As the two boulders appeared and slammed straight down, the winds spread it, causing a smokescreen of dust. The Pirate Rangers opened fire into it, and then after it settled, found that the Mega Rangers had retreated.

“No matter,†Blue said, “Right?â€

Red nodded, “We’ll get them. Soon.â€


The Rangers fell to the ground as they teleported into their base, lying on the stone ground, groaning in pain as their suits flickered a little. Troy sat up and pulled his helmet off, setting it on the ground beside him. He shook his head, saying barely audible words, “Those…those guys were too strong…â€

“We’ve fought hard opponents before,†Jake said as he pulled his helmet off and tucked it under his arm, like a soccer ball.

“Not like these we haven’t,†Gia said as she pulled hers off and leaned against the base of one of the consoles. She set her helmet beside her, “These are other Rangers. Enemy Rangers.â€

“And they have the Phantom Ranger,†Noah said as he leaned against another console and set his helmet in his lap. “Probably, anyway.â€

“Rangers shouldn’t be fighting each other,†Emma muttered as she pulled her helmet off and sat up. She set it on her lap as well, “Rangers are supposed to be heroes. If these guys are enemies, then they shouldn’t be using the Ranger suits like that.â€

Troy nodded, “They’re going to destroy the imagery of what it is to be a Ranger,†he muttered, “If this gets out, if people start to find out about all of this, we might face some confusion. We might be labelled as villains, as enemies…â€

“Even though our suits are clearly different?†Jake questioned.

“Rangers are Rangers to some people,†Gia said.

“Some people might not realize the difference in the suits,†Troy said, “They just see Rangers and their mind goes to one image.â€

“Even with the war?†Noah asked him.

Troy shrugged, “Well, they all gave up their powers, and haven’t been seen since. That’s a bit different.â€

“But how many people know about that?†Noah questioned.

“Good point,†Troy said, “But we still have to stop them quickly. We don’t want mixed signals anywhere; we don’t want people to be confused. We don’t want them placing their trust in villains who will turn on them.â€

Noah pulled his Morpher free, “Phantom?†he asked. He got a weird look from Jake, “None of us have tried this yet,†he told Jake, “It’s worth a shot, as unlikely as it is to work.â€

“Fine,†Jake said, “Go ahead and try.â€

“Phantom?†Noah asked. Nothing. He stood up and set his Morpher on his console. He started to type and try to get somewhere, but nothing was coming up. “No signs of him.â€

“But that was expected,†Gia said.

Noah nodded, “We need to reach him somehow…â€

“We need a mentor, especially at a time like this,†Troy said as he came to his feet, “I can lead you, but I don’t think I can guide you. We need a mentor, we need guidance.â€

“What if we tried to reach another Ranger?†Emma asked, “Like Tommy?†She sent a look to Gia, then Troy, since those two had met him.

“We can try,†Troy said, “But reaching him might be difficult. I’m not sure how to do it.†He lifted his Morpher, “Um…Tommy?â€

Nothing.

“Yeah, didn’t think that would work,†he muttered as he put it back on his belt.

Noah began to type, trying to pull up information. A picture of Cam came up, and then a search function, a map of town. The console began to try to locate him, but nothing was happening.

“Casey?†Gia asked into her Morpher. It was foolish, but it was the best they could do.

“Zack?†Jake asked into his.

Emma wasn’t able to contribute. She had a weapon, but she didn’t know where it came from, what Ranger had helped her.

“Nothing,†Troy muttered. He shook his head, “We need them…but how do we find them? How do we get in touch with them?†His voice held an edge to it, irritation, anger…sorrow.

“We’ve been Rangers for months,†Jake said, “We can get by. I hope…â€

“But we’ve never had an enemy like his,†Troy told him, “But all of our enemies have been different. We’ve always come through…â€

“Then we’ll come through again,†Gia told him, “People need us. People are counting on us.â€

Troy nodded, “Next time we find them, we’ll win. I promise you all that much.â€

Everyone rose and nodded to him. He turned away, casting his eyes down. They couldn’t see it, but he had his doubts.


[Gokaiger 2. 6:10-614]

The flagship was surrounded by many other ships. (camera zooms into flagship, this is just generic flagship/space view that will be recycled)

[End Sentai footage]

The door slid open, and Vrak stepped into the dimly lit bridge. There were consoles by the window looking out at the Earth. Metal soldiers sat, working on the consoles, while in the center of the room sat a plush throne. There were two metal soldiers who crossed their weapons to impede Vrak’s entrance, while two blue-armored soldiers approached.

“Who is it?†the figure in the throne questioned.

“Your brother,†Vrak hissed.

A head popped up from around the throne. He had a silver face, with the same piercing blue eyes. “Vrak?†he questioned, astonished.

“Tell your Metins to lower their weapons,†Vrak said, “It won’t end well for them otherwise.â€

“This is my ship, brother,†Vekar said, “Father left it to me. This crew is mine to command. And I don’t particularly want you here. I mean, you failed already. It’s a miracle to me that you weren’t destroyed.â€

“Don’t make me do this, brother,†Vrak said calmly.

“Do what?†Vekar questioned, not even bothering to look. He stared out at the Earth.

Vrak grabbed the weapon of the Metin on his right and yanked it forward. He plowed his foot into its chest and kicked it towards one of the blue Kraves. He slashed the other Metin with the weapon in his hand from the first one, and then tore that one’s weapon free.

He span, hurled it at the second Krave, and then in one fluid motion was beside the throne, lifting the Metin’s weapon to Vekar’s body.

“That,†Vrak said.

Vekar was shaking. He gripped the armrest tighter, trying to control it.

“Prince Vrak,†a deeper voice said from the doorway.

Vrak looked back to the door, at the brown armored warrior. “Dravo,†Vrak said, dropping the weapon as he turned to fully face the man, “I didn’t know you would be here.â€

Dravo walked along the back wall of the room, where the royal crest was imprinted on the wall, “The King asked me to watch his son.â€

“And yet I was left as a mere soldier with no guards,†Vrak said.

“You had training, and you chose the military,†Dravo said.

“Yes, yes I did,†Vrak said as he walked towards Dravo. Dravo was situated higher, on a slight walkway. Vrak didn’t bother to walk up the stairs to stand beside him. That spot was usually for piloting, as controls were situated there.

Both turned to see a silver, mechanical warrior walking into the room, and then Hexatrix behind him, using a datapad reminiscent of Mecharess’s.

“Who’s this?†Vrak questioned.

Hexatrix’s head rose at the sound of his voice, “Vrak…â€

“Prince Vrak,†he told her.

“Argus,†the machine warrior said in a monotone, mechanical voice, “I am one of Prince Vekar’s bodyguards.â€

“How many do you need, dear brother?†Vrak questioned, but Vekar didn’t answer.

Vrak ignored the silence and walked towards Hexatrix. “I’m glad to see you in good health,†she told him.

He pulled her aside a little, hissing, “I’m watching you.â€

She said nothing.

The next set of footsteps came, and another figure entered the chamber. Green with thick black armor with red orbs affixed to it, he had tentacles coming off of his head, and carried a large cannon-like weapon, partially affixed to his body, perhaps an extension of it. (Gokai 2 monster)

“General Sydo,†Vrak said, “I’m surprised you’re here.â€

He ignored Vrak, “Prince Vekar, I’ll be ready to launch the assault any time.â€

“The invasion force will attack the Earth soon,†Vekar stated, and then directed the next part to Vrak, “I figured you’d want to know what was happening, brother. But in the meantime, some of Father’s minions are dealing with the Rangers. It shouldn’t be long until they’re destroyed.â€

“Minions of Father’s?†Vrak asked, walking towards his younger brother, “Which minions?â€

The footfalls of numerous figures was soon heard. Vrak turned to look, seeing the five Pirate Rangers walking into the bridge.

“Those minions,†Vekar said.


Jake was the last one to sit down to join the others at lunch in town the next day. They were still on break and out of school, so they decided to meet up elsewhere.

“So, do we have a plan for next time?†Jake asked.

“I don’t know what to do differently, other than go straight to Shining…maybe,†Troy said.

They heard some other teens sit at a nearby table. One of them was speaking loudly enough to be heard, “Yeah, I was out jogging last night, and you’ll never guess what I saw.â€

“What?†some of them asked.

“Rangers fighting each other!†he said. The Ranger teens turned a little to try to pay attention and see. The teen was pulling out his phone, “I got some video…â€

They could hear the sounds of the fight, even if they couldn’t see the video.

“So just what’s going on then?†one of them asked.

“I don’t know,†the jogger said, “I just know they were fighting each other.â€

“I think the losing ones are the ones who’ve defended the city?†one of them asked.

“I don’t know, it’s kind of hard to tell,†the jogger admitted, “But I think so.â€

“They lost to other Rangers though, so what does that mean?â€

“I have no idea…â€

Troy turned to the others, speaking softly, “We have to deal with this quickly, before any confusion spreads.â€

The others nodded and left their booth. They didn’t want to listen to this.

As they left the building, they could hear their Morphers beeping. They ducked into an alley and pulled them free to listen.

“Phantom?†Troy asked.

“No,†the voice of the Red Pirate Ranger came, “It’s just us.â€

“What do you want?†Troy hissed.

“What any competitor wants. To see who’s better,†the pirate responded, “Come to the plaza. We’ll be waiting.â€


The Red Pirate Ranger looked across the bridge as he lifted his hand from the console. “They’ll meet us there.â€

“We’re coming for support,†Hexatrix said, “I want data.â€

“Fine, but stay out of the way,†the Red Pirate answered.

“I wish to come as well,†Argus stated.

“Fine. Same orders,†the pirate told him.

“Take soldiers for good measure,†Dravo said.

“You won’t need them,†Blue said.

“Take them,†Dravo hissed.

“Fine,†Hexatrix said, and then turned to the pirates, “Well?â€

“Let’s go,†Red answered.


The five teens were running, lifting their Morphers. “Alright guys!†Troy shouted as he opened his Morpher. He lifted his card into the slot, “Let’s do this!â€

They all slotted their cards and leapt forward, flashing into their colors.

[199 Heroes. 11:12-12:15]

The five Pirate Rangers were in a line, waiting. The flash of light from the Mega Rangers Morph started to blind them, while Hexatrix, Argus and their Metins nearby also moved in response to the light.

The five Rangers stood there, glowing in their colors (note: remove wings), standing in a line to oppose the Pirates.

They looked themselves over, “Everyone ready?†Troy was asking.

“Of course,†Emma said, taking a step towards him and nodding.

“I think we’re all ready to win,†Jake said.

The Green Pirate looked in a sort of shock, and then turned to Pink, “Are they really going to fight again?†Pink nodded.

Yellow lifted her hand to her chin, “So…they want punishment.†She thrust her elbow out at Blue, who caught it.

“Don’t hold back,†he said.

“Heh,†Red said.

“So, they’re here…,†Hexatrix said, she threw her arm forward, “Fire!â€

Two Metins fired their weapons, firing them out like missiles.

“I’ve got it!†Troy said, running to intercept as he loaded a card into his Morpher. The shield-like emblem on his chest appeared, deflecting the missiles aside, destroying them.

The other four came to his side and loaded cards, “Try these!†Jake shouted. Two boulders, a tornado and a water blast flew forward.

The Metins were wiped out, leaving Hexatrix and Argus standing alone.

“They work fast,†Argus said.

“Pull back,†Hexatrix said, waving her arm out. The two of them teleported.

“Alright then,†Red said, crossing his arms as he approached, “Now, it’s just us left.â€

“We’re all Rangers,†Gia told him, motioning to the others on her team, and then herself, “Why do we have to fight each other?†She began to walk forward, but Troy and Noah grabbed her to hold her back. “Fine,†she said, moving back as Troy took steps forward.

“She’s right. We shouldn’t be enemies.â€

Silence on both ends.

“Please, don’t fight with us. Fight beside us! We’re all Rangers. We have a duty to protect the Earth!†Jake was cracking his fists while Emma reached a hand forward in offering.

“Allies?†Blue questioned as the four of them stood behind their leader, doing their own things, “You make me laugh.â€

“No,†Red said.

“Fine then,†Jake hissed.

Emma spoke up, “Then I guess we fight!â€

[199 Heroes. 12:23-15:20]

“Can we get on with it?†Green was asking Red, standing closer behind him.

“Well…you heard him,†Red told the Mega Rangers, “My team wants to just fight you. I want to fight you. Our command wants us to fight…â€

Yellow walked forward, putting her hands on her hips, “I think that means we’re going to fight!â€

Gia walked forward, “But why?†she shouted.

Jake moved as well, “We’ve been saying, we’re all Rangers here! But…,†he was going to run forward, but Troy grabbed him.

“Wait,†Troy told him, “Jake, think. Stay calm.†He walked forward, towards the Pirate Rangers, “Please, just tell us why you fight. Not because you’re ordered to, but why each of you fights! There has to be a way to avoid this!â€

“There isn’t,†Red answered. He walked forward, “We’re going to fight, and we’re going to win,†he kept his back to Troy, but turned when he was close, “And we’re going to destroy you.â€

The two looked at each other in silence. Troy turned his head down and clenched his fist, “Fine…,†he hissed, throwing a punch for the Pirate, but he caught it. He returned a punch, but Troy caught it and forced it down. They were locked.

“You’re not bad,†the Pirate Ranger said. He kicked Troy in the chest, “But we’re better!â€

“Troy!†they shouted as they converged on him as he rolled back.

The Red Pirate drew his sword and firearm. The others came to stand at his side, weapons drawn. They tossed their weapons into the air and swapped so that Pink and Green had two firearms, and Blue and Yellow had two swords. Red kept his double.

The Mega Rangers loaded their cards and summoned their weapons.

Three Pirates raced in, while Pink and Green stood back and fired.

Emma and Jake blocked the shots with their weapons while the others stood to fight their corresponding Pirates. They clashed their weapons with the blades of the Pirate Rangers, holding their own for now.

Noah held his weapon down his arm, fighting fluidly, blocking everything the Blue Pirate tried. As soon as he gained space he shouted and fired straight up, bringing down a rain of arrows on the Pirate, who slashed through them.

“Fight directly!†Blue shouted as he ran forward.

Jake knocked the firearms from Green’s hands, so Green began to evade. He managed to catch the axe, but Jake ran along the nearby wall and tried to tear his weapon free, but Green kept his grip.

“Let go!†Jake shouted, but Green took the weapon. He shouted as it fell. “That’s right!†Jake shouted, getting some punches in until Green fell back.

Green scrambled on the ground a bit and rolled away, firing from a downed position. Jake kicked the blasts out of the air.

Emma and Pink hit each other, knocking each other back. They shouted and ran at each other, kicking, but their kicks blocked each other until they shouted and kicked each other back.

Gia and Yellow clashed their weapons and kept moving back and forth, dodging and parrying everything, grunting as they struck.

Yellow took Gia to the ground, “Take this!†she shouted, slashing, but Gia caught it on her claw and pushed the blades back before kicking her back.

Red shot at Troy, who blocked and ran through the blasts. He leapt forward with a shout, so they slashed and parried each other, with Red taking the occasional shot. Both of them slashed each other and fell back, the teams regrouping on both sides.

“Let’s combine!†Troy shouted, so they combined weapons.

“Then it’s our turn,†Red Pirate said.

Keys appeared in the firearms and swords as the Megaforce Blazer was leveled at them.

The weapons of the Pirates began to glow as they prepared their attack.

“Mega Dynamic!†the team shouted, firing.

“Try this!†Red shouted as they fired and slashed their energy attacks, which became a ball in the air and smashed into the stream. The attacks hung there as the two teams watched, waiting to see what would happen.

It exploded, throwing both teams back. They all shouted.

[End Sentai footage]

The Mega Rangers picked themselves up, finding themselves in the middle of another plaza area. They looked around, but the Pirate Rangers were nowhere to be seen.

“We did better this time,†Troy said, looking at all of them.

“Better doesn’t cut it,†Gia said.

“I know,†Troy muttered, “But it’s a start.â€

“Their skill is…amazing,†Noah said, “The blue one cut down all of my arrows.â€

“The green one was kind of a fool,†Jake said.

“That one aside, they’re all pretty good,†Gia said.

“No, even the green one was good,†Jake said, although it was obvious by his voice that he hated to admit it.

They all turned to look, seeing the Pirate Rangers approaching them, weapons still in hand, like before.

“We’re not done,†the Red Pirate told them.

“Everyone, let’s show them our true power!†Troy shouted, drawing his Morpher up, “Shining Morph Card!â€

They all followed suit. As the Pirates watched, the five began to shine, assuming Shining Mode, swinging their new swords down.

“That’s new,†Yellow said.

“And that’s not all we have!†Troy shouted, taking grip of the Dragon Dagger in his left hand. He drew it up as the others took grip of their weaponry (Jake held the Power Axe instead of the Staff).

“New weapons?†Red questioned, “Or rather…old weapons?â€

“We’ll use them to defeat you!†Troy shouted, lifting his Dragon Dagger, “Now, prepare yourselves!â€

“Oh, we’re prepared,†Red laughed. He drew his arms out, “Come on!â€

The five Rangers rushed for their pirate counterparts, shouting. Troy leapt forward and kicked at the Red Pirate twice, who blocked with two swings of his sword. As the pirate stepped back, Troy landed and span around, backhanding him with the Shining Sword. As the pirate stumbled, Troy stepped forward and slashed with the Dragon Dagger, then followed with a kick to knock him onto the ground.

Noah ducked the continual swings of the Blue Pirate and blocked both swords with his Shining Sword. He pushed back and swung his Samurai Saber into the pirate’s chest, staggering him two steps back. Noah shouted and slashed both swords down his opponent’s chest, knocking him back.

Jake swung his Power Axe into the Green Pirate’s chest. The pirate shot rapidly, but Jake slashed the blasts with his twin weapons. He shouted and hurled his Shining Sword forward like a javelin, knocking the Green Pirate onto his back with a shout of pain. Jake flipped his Power Axe, and as the pirate rose, pumped a blast into his chest at close range to blast him back.

Emma slashed at the Pink Pirate with her Drago Sword, but the pirate kept dodging and ducking, unable to get a shot off. Emma kicked her once in the leg, dropping her down to a knee, and then struck her in the chest with a slash from her Shining Sword. Pink came to her knees and fired, but Emma slashed them down with her twin swords before leaping forward and kicking her in the chest once, sending her flying back.

Gia used Saba to knock one sword from the Yellow Pirate’s hand, and then span around to deliver a back kick into her chest. As the pirate fell back, Gia span around and slashed down. The Yellow Pirate caught the Shining Sword on her sword, but Gia launched her foot up and kicked it away. The pirate grabbed her foot and pushed back so that she had room to roll to her feet, but Gia leapt forward and slashed her with Saba to take her down.

The wounded pirates regrouped. Red gripped his chest, panting, “Ok then…you leave us with no other choice…â€

The Mega Rangers came together, “What do you have left?†he demanded.

“We’ll show you,†the Red Pirate hissed. He threw his weapons aside, as did the others. They stood, unarmed.

“I don’t like the look of this…,†Noah muttered, drawing his weapons up closer.

“You have weapons of past Rangers, well…â€

He thrust his hand forward and the Power Sword appeared in his hand. The Mega Rangers were taken aback in shock.

Blue held both hands out, taking the Lightning Sword and Turbo Sword into his hands. Yellow took the Control Dagger and a Rail Saber. Pink gained a Nitro Blaster and Chrono Blaster, and Green gained the Laser Lamp and the large Bullzooka, which he had trouble holding onto, and as such had to set down.

“Where did you get those?†Gia shouted.

“The battlefield, where the Rangers gave all of their powers up,†the Red Pirate said, “Now…,†he lowered the Power Sword, “Let us show you our power!â€

“Your power?†Troy shouted, “The power of the Rangers! Of heroes!â€

“Whatever,†Red hissed, racing forward. The others followed, except Pink who lifted her firearms, and Green who let go of the Bullzooka completely and took aim with the Laser Lamp.

As Troy ran to meet the Red Pirate, his Shining Sword was knocked out of his hand by the other Ranger’s blade. The Red Pirate punched him in the chest and kicked him back, before stepping forward and slashing him twice with the Power Sword. As Troy stumbled back, he lifted it again and slashed (note: use MMPR Red suit here for this attack only). Troy shouted as he went down.

Noah slashed at the two swords, but the Blue Pirate locked their weapons together. He kicked Noah back and span around, slashing Noah across the chest with both of them at once. He lifted the Lightning Sword and slashed down (note: use Turbo Red for this attack only), and then slashed up with the Turbo Sword (note: brief flash of any Turbo Ranger, except Red for this attack only). Noah shouted as he went down.

Gia’s swords were kicked from her hands and then she took a stab from the Control Dagger (note: use Rhino Ranger here, with skirt), followed up by a swing down from the Rail Saber (note: any RPM suit) which dropped her with a shout of pain.

Jake dodged the Laser Lamp repeatedly and was about to get in close. One more shot from the Laser Lamp took Jake’s leg out (note: use Solaris Knight for final shot), and then the Green Pirate set the Lamp down and hefted up the Bullzooka, firing once (note: Samurai Red) to blast Jake back with a scream of pain.

Emma dodged the shots of the Chrono Blaster (note: Mega Pink evading shots from Time Force Pink) and tried to rush in, but the Nitro Blaster came up and fired twice into her chest (note: RPM Ranger), dropping her weapons. Two more shots put her down.

The Pirate Rangers regrouped and looked at thga Rangers. “Those weapons will be added to our…collection.â€

“No!†Troy shouted, coming up to his knees. His Shining Mode faded, “We won’t let you win!â€

“It’s too late. We’ve already won,†the Red Pirate said.

The Red Pirate drew out a Morpher and hit a button. They could all hear the whooshing of something coming.

“What is that?†Troy shouted.

“It’s Megazord time,†the Red Pirate said simply, “We’ll be taking all of your precious weapons. But Zords? We’ll destroy those.â€

The Pirates turned and ran outside.

“We have to,†Noah told Troy.

“I know,†Troy said, loading a card. He ran outside as the others loaded theirs as well, their Shining Modes fading.

Soon Star Guard stood in opposition of a large pirate Megazord. (note: no cockpit shots of either side, since this is all US footage)

Star Guard slashed down with its sword, but the Pirate Megazord swung one blade up to parry, and then drew its second sword and slashed Star Guard in the chest. Star Guard stumbled back and then took another slash, and then another. The Pirates didn’t let up.

Red’s voice came from the Pirate Megazord, booming out at them, “It’s time to end this!†he shouted, swinging one sword down into the Star Guard’s head. The screams of the Mega Rangers could be heard, and then the Pirate Megazord stabbed the Star Guard in the chest. And then there was an explosion.

[199 Heroes. 0:42-0:45 (note: no foreground fight. The footage should clearly be the background CGI and the foreground combat. This is solely the background]

The destroyed Star Guard lay there, sparking, as a chunk of the city was clearly damaged by the battle.

[End Sentai footage]

The five Mega Rangers landed painfully on the ground, completely un-Morphed. The Pirate Rangers walked towards them.

“You lose,†Red hissed.

Chapter 2: Pirate Rangers, Part 2

“You lose,†the Red Pirate Ranger hissed to the downed Mega Rangers.

As the five Pirate Rangers came side by side, ready to finish off the un-Morphed team, they heard a shout, and then a cloaked figure leapt into the space between the two teams.

“Who are you?†Red hissed.

The cloaked figure didn’t answer. He ran forward and leapt, kicking Red back, but as he moved back, the other Pirate Rangers converged on the figure. The figure span, spinning out the cloak to blind the Rangers a little, throwing punches and kicks into them swiftly to knock them back before coming back around and sweeping Red’s legs out from under him.

The cloaked figure ran to the downed Mega Rangers and crouched by them, “Teleport, now!†he hissed. He grabbed Troy’s shoulder as the Rangers teleported, and he teleported with Troy, leaving the Pirate Rangers behind.


The Rangers landed in their base, while the cloaked man remained crouched over Troy. The Rangers came to their feet, groaning in pain as the cloaked man stepped back, past the consoles. He looked at the cave while the Rangers came back to their senses.

“Who are you?†Troy asked, “Why did you save us?â€

The cloaked figure turned, but then their Morphers beeped. The Rangers looked at them, and then their consoles came to life, showing video. The Red Pirate Ranger stood there, his team behind him.

“Rangers,†his voice came from the Morphers and the consoles, “I don’t know who that was who saved you, but you haven’t won yet. Don’t think you can hide. Don’t think you can heal. Don’t think you can plan. You have one hour to come and face us, or we will level this city with our Megazord.

“Yours is destroyed. You cannot stop us. Come and fight us, and meet your fates. Don’t let this city be punished for your weakness. Come and fight us, and we’ll have a proper end to the battle. No more fleeing, no more distractions.â€

The message ended.

The cloaked figure stood there, looking over the Rangers.

“One hour…,†Noah muttered, “We can’t beat them like this! We need more time…â€

“We don’t have more time,†Gia said, clenching a fist.

“These guys are serious,†Jake said, shaking his head, “Those weapons…â€

“They’re just weapons,†Emma said, “The spirit of the Rangers are here, with us! We can beat them!â€

“You can,†the cloaked figure said. The Rangers all put their focus on him as he reached up and pulled his hood back, revealing dual-toned long hair. “My name is Andros; I was the Red Space Ranger. And trust me, I know what you’re going through, and I can help you.â€

“Do you know how we can get in touch with others?†Troy immediately asked him, “We’ve met old Rangers before, but we can’t reach any of them. We’re in over our heads, and we…â€

“I know,†Andros said, holding a hand up, “Just be calm. Look, as much as I’d like to, I can’t get you a team of veterans. Even as someone who used to work alone, but came to find that allies and friends were needed, I can’t get you help. Don’t think less of me.â€

“Less of you?†Jake asked, “We don’t even know you!â€

Andros didn’t say anything, “Look. My team and I faced dire circumstances in the past.â€

“All teams have,†Jake said.

“No,†Andros told him, holding a colder tone in his voice, “Not like we have. Now listen.â€

Jake was taken aback, but he closed his mouth and nodded.

“I’m sure you know about the invasion of Earth that saw all of the Rangers who could fighting against the common allied enemies. It was…it was the death of Zordon, who sacrificed himself to stop all of it. It was a large invasion.â€

“I remember that,†Noah said, “I read about it.â€

“This war with the Vago Empire was just a repeat, but we managed to contain it,†Andros said, “We had one more situation. My team faced something similar to this, and it nearly destroyed us. It…it later destroyed another Ranger, though…â€

“What was it?†Emma asked.

“A team of evil Rangers. The Psycho Rangers.†(As Andros speaks, play archive footage of Space Rangers vs. Psycho Rangers) “They were designed to be able to destroy us. Astronema created them to hunt us, and destroy us. They were based on our brain wave patterns to be able to outfight us and bring us down.

“Ultimately we succeeded in defeating them. It was long, and hard, but we won out. We swapped opponents, we tricked them, and we slowly defeated them.

“It can be done. You can win, but you need to fight smarter. These enemies are just enemies in Ranger suits, they aren’t like the Psycho’s were. Swap opponents though, try that. Confuse them however you can. Never fight a straight fight, find whatever edge you can, and use it as much as possible.â€

“You said that they destroyed a Ranger,†Gia said.

Andros nodded, “We fought them again, with the Galaxy Rangers. Psycho Pink ultimately caused the destruction of their Pink Ranger…but, she did return, thankfully. But the Psycho Rangers did cause one Ranger to fall.

“From what I can tell, the Psycho’s were more dangerous than these guys. You’re young, you might lack experience, but you’ve had training and lessons from veterans. You have their weapons, you have their encouragement.

“Go. Go and stop those pirates. Save this city, and send them a message. Tell them that you will not lose to evil, and especially not to evil Rangers!â€

The Rangers nodded, “We’ll do our best,†Troy told him.

“I wish we had the Phantom Ranger here, at least we’d have some more firepower,†Jake muttered.

“The Phantom Ranger?†Andros asked.

Noah nodded, “He’s our mentor.â€

“And he’s gone?â€

“Vanished,†Jake said.

“More like abducted,†Noah corrected.

“It reminds me of Zordon,†Andros said, “We went through the same thing, in a way. You five…you’re kind of like us. But don’t lose heart. Keep fighting, and you will come out victorious.â€

“And how can you say that with such certainty?†Noah asked.

“Because you’re Power Rangers. Whenever you bow your heads, lift them high again. Remember that.â€

“We’ll do our best to,†Troy said, “Because our best is all we can do.â€

“Don’t fear defeat,†Andros told them, “If you fear it, it can happen. Push forward, and never look back. Win.â€

Troy nodded and looked at the others, “We have less than an hour. Rest, and then we’re going to go, and we’ll beat them.â€

The others nodded, and Andros just watched them.


The doors to the bridge opened, and in came some Metins, backing away, holding their weapons up. “What is the meaning of this?†Vekar hissed in annoyance, “What is it that you’re afraid of?†he shouted at his soldiers.

And then three figures stepped into the room. One was gold and black, with two heads and horns (Gosei 46). The second one came in, white and red with three heads, based on a unicorn based on the horse-heads and horns (Gosei 47), and that one was followed by a black and gold creature covered in drill-like horns (Gosei 48).

Vekar took a few steps back, causing Dravo to hurriedly put himself between the three figures and the Prince. He drew up a sword from his cape, “If you take another step towards Prince Vekar, I will destroy all of you,†Dravo growled.

“They are of no threat unless I command it,†Vrak said as he walked in after the three, walking towards his brother, “You see, you’re not the only one with bodyguards, brother. These three are mine. Duotar, Trihorn and Quadrill.â€

“What are they doing aboard my ship?†Vekar hissed, moving from behind Dravo so he could stand opposite his brother.

“Well, I couldn’t bring them when I went on Admiral Malkor’s campaign,†Vrak said, “I didn’t have the benefit of bodyguards. But…well, they have their ways. They came with you. I bet if you ever saw them, you thought they were just soldiers here to do your bidding. That wasn’t the case, though. They were waiting to be reunited with me.â€

Vekar shook his head, “How come I’ve never seen them before?†he demanded, “Back home? In court?â€

“Your bodyguards are strong, are they not?†Vrak questioned.

“What?â€

“Your bodyguards. Are they strong?†Vrak said, changing his question a little, “Is power your reason for using them?â€

“Of course it is!†Vekar told him, “What else would it be?â€

“Do you want to know why you never saw my guards before?†Vrak asked as he walked around behind Vekar, looking at some of the consoles on the side of the bridge.

Vekar turned to look at him, “Why?â€

“Because I ally myself with the clever,†Vrak said, turning to look at his brother, “My guards hide in the shadows and watch. They don’t make themselves known. Being known makes you a target. I prefer my guards to not be targets, and to neutralize any threat to me in complete secrecy.â€

“Differing philosophies, brother,†Vekar hissed.

“You prefer the direct confrontations, despite your lack of skills,†Vrak said, “And I prefer cleverness, but I can also fight directly. Feels like you’re coming up a bit short, doesn’t it?â€

Vrak laughed a little to himself as he walked to the door where his three guards resided, “Come,†he said, “We’ll observe the fight from my quarters.â€

His guards followed him out, and the door sealed.

“Why couldn’t he have been destroyed?†Vekar hissed, slamming his fist into his throne, “Why did he survive?†he shouted.


The Rangers sat on the rocks, looking out at the ocean. It was calming; a stark difference from what was awaiting them. This peace would soon be shattered by the harsh battle against the Pirate Rangers, and they wanted to enjoy it.

“It’s not like we’re the only Rangers to ever face hardship,†Noah said, “All of them have, just to different degrees.â€

“And no matter what, they fought for this planet even when their missions had been completed,†Emma said, “They came together to repel the Vago Empire’s first attack.â€

“And yet we’re here, overwhelmed by something so minor in comparison…,†Gia muttered, “It makes me sick.â€

“To be fair, we’re still new at this,†Jake said, “It’s only been…what, like four months?â€

“We are facing a lot, and we are relatively inexperienced in comparison,†Troy told them, “But remember. We defeated Malkor, and the Orgs, and the machines. We’ve fought a lot of enemies, and defeated them.â€

“But we lost our Megazord,†Noah said, holding up his sparking Shark Zord in its miniature mode for his blaster, “I don’t know if I can repair them, and, well…I tried to reach the other Zords. They didn’t respond well in response to Star Guard being destroyed like that. I think we’re on our own.â€

“We’ll figure it out,†Troy said, “We’ll make it all work. Somehow.†He looked out at the ocean again, “Just remember…just remember that all of the Rangers who have acted as mentors and friends to us have had hard fights as well.â€

“Casey,†Gia muttered. He was the first veteran to help the team. (insert footage from Jungle Fury, including his fight(s) with Whiger, and his battle with Jarrod in Path of the Righteous)

“Cam,†Noah said. (insert footage from Ninja Storm, including Cam’s debut battle, part of his battle in the past with his uncle, etc.)

“Zack,†Jake said. (insert footage from MMPR, primarily any fights were Zack fought solo or were focused on him) “And Trey.†(insert footage from Zeo of Trey’s tenure as the Gold Ranger, and some of his better fights)

Emma had nobody, although she held her Drago Sword, confused by where it came from. (insert footage from Dino Thunder of Trent’s time on the team, and his fights with his clone)

“Tommy,†Troy said. (insert footage from MMPR, and important fights as Green and White, and footage from Zeo, and briefly from Turbo, finishing off with Dino Thunder)

The team sat silently until Troy finally came to his feet, “Guys…we can do this,†he said quietly, “We’ve been trained by the Phantom Ranger. We’ve been assisted by other Rangers. We have their power, their trust…we have their duty! Their responsibility! I refuse to be the Ranger team that lets that duty down! So let’s go…let’s go and defeat those fake Rangers! Let’s show them what it means to be a team of Power Rangers!â€

“Yeah!†the team agreed, coming to their feet. They drew out their Morphers alongside Troy and teleported away from the beach, heading towards their fight.


The Pirate Rangers were waiting in town. Some people saw them, but weren’t sure about them. If nothing else, they found it odd to have the Rangers just standing there like that.

One young boy broke away from his mother and walked up to the Rangers. He stood, looking closely at them. The Red Pirate looked down at him.

“You’re Power Rangers, aren’t you?†the boy asked.

The Red Pirate let out a short laugh and then crouched down, “Something like that,†he said.

“You’re kind of scary looking…,†the kid said.

“Good,†the Red Pirate said.

A blast struck his chest and he fell away from the child. The five Mega Rangers ran towards them, and Noah put his firearm onto his waist.

“Stay away from them!†Gia shouted to the people, “They’re the enemy! Run, get out of here!â€

The mother ran forward to grab her child, but Yellow reached for her. Troy drew his firearm up and fired, forcing her back, but his blast wasn’t anywhere near the parent or child.

“Why even bother?†Red questioned, “These people are going to be gone soon anyway. Destroyed or enslaved. You’re just putting it off.â€

“No,†Troy told him, “We’re stopping it!†He drew his hand out, summoning the Dragon Dagger, “Now…we’re going to settle this…â€

The others came to stand beside him, holding their legacy weapons (Jake used the Power Axe as usual). The Pirate Rangers came forward, with Red holding the Power Sword, Blue the Lightning Sword, Yellow the Turbo Sword, Green the Laser Lamp, and Pink the Nitro Blaster.

“Alright then,†Troy said, “Let’s go!â€

The two teams ran for each other, but Pink and Green stopped short so they could fire.

As Troy and the Red Pirate met and clashed blades (quick image of MMPR Red and Green clashing weapons), but Troy pushed off and ducked the swing of the Pirate Ranger. He bolted for Green and tackled him, causing his shot to go wide. Jake immediately span and hip-fired on Red, knocking him back. He rushed for the Red Pirate.

“What?†the Red Pirate hissed.

Jake shouted and leapt for him, swinging the Power Axe down and smashing Red back.

“What’s going on?†Pink questioned. She turned her head to see Noah slashing her with his blade, and then he kicked her back, making her lose her grip of her firearm.

Gia rolled under Blue’s strike and began to glow yellow. She thrust her hands out, unleashing the Tiger Spirit into him at pointblank, making it more of just a glow rather than a tiger. He shouted as he was blasted back, losing grip of his sword.

Emma slashed the Yellow Pirate twice in the confusion before leaping up and landing a series of kicks into her chest before landing, using her abilities as a Sky Ranger to hold herself up for a bit. She span around, slashing from shoulder to hip, knocking the enemy Ranger to the ground, making her drop her weapon.

Red picked himself up and shook his head, “You think you’re clever?†he shouted at them. He rose and threw his hand forward as the Rangers picked up the various dropped weapons. A new weapon appeared in his hand, the Spiral Saber.

“What? More?†Troy shouted.

“Of course, were you no paying attention earlier?†the Red Pirate shouted.

The Blue Pirate held the Control Dagger.

Yellow held a Mega Blade.

Green held a Wheel Blaster.

Pink held a Delta Enforcer.

“Now, let’s try this again!†the Red Pirate shouted, racing forward. Before they could change places, he leapt forward and slashed Troy (as he jumps, switch to Red Space suit, and as Troy stumbles back, MMPR Green).

Blue span the Control Dagger around and kicked Noah in the leg (Rhino Ranger kicking Green Samurai), and while Noah was crouched, slashed him across the chest, taking him down.

Yellow (Mega Mode Yellow Samurai) ducked Gia’s (MMPR White) slash with Saba. Gia span but met her blade parried. The Yellow Pirate kicked her back before Gia could bring her sidearm up. With this distance from being kicked, she tried again, but the Yellow Pirate shot her first, and then leapt forward, slashing her with the Mega Blade.

Green (RPM Green) fired on Jake (MMPR Black) repeatedly, giving Jake no time to try to make a plan. He could only run. “I need a card…,†Jake was muttering, but he had no time to reach for one or slot it. He stopped and flicked his sidearm up, but missed his blind shot. Green didn’t miss, blasting Jake back.

Pink (SWAT SPD Pink) didn’t give Emma (Drago Ranger) any time either. She kept firing with the large Delta Enforcer, before finally clipping Emma’s leg. She cried out as she went down, and then rolled to avoid taking a ground shot. She came to her knees, but took a blast to the chest and was hurled back.

“You can’t beat us!†Red shouted as his team came back to stand by him, “Just give it up.â€

Troy came up slowly before falling to his knees, “We…we won’t surrender!â€

“You can’t even fight anymore,†the Red Pirate pointed out.

The Mega Rangers were panting and coming together on the ground. “But we’re Power Rangers,†Gia told the Red Pirate.

“We don’t give up,†Emma told him.

“And we don’t let people down,†Noah said.

“If we did, we’d be no better than you fakes!†Jake shouted.

The five of them began to glow suddenly, and they turned to look at each other in confusion.

“Is this Shining Mode?†Jake asked.

“No…I don’t think it is,†Noah said.

“It feels…so warm…,†Emma said.

“So…different,†Gia agreed.

“So powerful,†Troy said, turning to look at all of them, and then he looked straight ahead at the Pirate Rangers. He slowly rose to his feet, his pain fading, “I don’t know about you guys, but I have my second wind!â€

They all rose beside him and nodded.

Golden light erupted from the team, concealing them. The Pirate Rangers grunted and stepped back, covering their visors with their arms. They lowered them and looked at the Mega Rangers, shocked by what they saw.

Troy stood with the Dragon Shield and arm-bands on his body, wielding the Dragon Dagger.

Noah had the Green Samurai Ranger’s vest on, while he wielded the Ranger’s sword.

Jake wore Trey’s shield and arm-bands, and was wielding his staff now, instead of the Power Axe.

Emma wore the shield of the Drago Ranger, and carried his sword.

Gia wore the shield of the White Ranger, and carried Saba.

“What is this?†shouted the Red Pirate in incredible anger.

“This…this is Legacy Mode!†Troy shouted, naming it.

The Rangers lifted their weapons (use the actual suits here of the Rangers whose armor they’re using for a brief shot during this lineup), and then all of them raced forward.

“These are the armors of the Rangers we’ve met,†Noah said. He looked at the others, “This is Cam’s.â€

“Tommy’s,†Gia said.

“Trey’s,†Jake said.

Emma just shook her head. She still didn’t know.

“Tommy,†Troy said.

“I don’t care what that armor is, it won’t help you,†the Red Pirate hissed, racing forward with the others.

“We’ll show him,†Troy told them, running forward. He and the Red Pirate clashed, passing by each other. Troy span around, ducking a swing of the Spiral Saber. He threw a kick into the Red Pirate’s side, and then came down with a slash of the Dragon Dagger (MMPR Green slashing Red Space), causing the Spiral Saber to go flying.

Gia ducked the continual swings of the Yellow Pirate and span around, kicking her in the side. She drew Saba down, but was caught by the other sword (MMPR White holding Saba against Mega Mode Yellow’s sword). Gia kicked the sword up and then carried Saba down across her chest, taking her down.

Jake leapt the shot of the Wheel Blaster and rolled, coming up and spinning around. He slashed Green across the chest (RPM Green struck by Zeo Gold), sending him rolling back, devoid of his weapon.

Emma rolled to avoid the Delta Enforcer, and then slashed her sword out. A chain of energy erupted forward, smashing into the Pink Pirate (Drago Ranger using the sword to blast SWAT SPD Pink with the energy projection attack). Emma leapt forward using her Sky Ranger abilities and kicked her repeatedly in the chest to throw her back.

Noah ducked and parried the strikes of the Blue Pirate. He stepped back and span around, creating a blue water hurricane around his body, slamming it into the Pirate and knocking him back. Noah leapt out of it (Green Samurai leaping at Rhino Ranger) and slashed him across the chest, sending the Control Dagger flying.

The Red Pirate shouted as he threw his hand forward, taking the Tricera Shield into his left hand and the Lunar Cue into his right. He raced for Troy and slashed with the Cue, but Troy ducked. The Dragon Dagger bounced off the Shield, and then Troy took a smash to the chest from it.

Blue was wielding the Ptera Grips and swinging wildly at Noah, who was mostly evading, only blocking on occasion.

Yellow was swinging the Power Lance, but Gia blocked it. Then she pulled out the Super Silverizer on her other arm and slashed Gia in the chest a few times in the surprise.

Green was wielding the Electro Booster in both arms, taking aim at Jake. He fired repeatedly, but Jake used his staff to deflect the shots.

Pink was wielding the Chrono Blaster with the Satellite Stunner, firing on Emma with both. She kept slashing and rolling to avoid the blasts, but couldn’t get close.

Troy ducked the swing of the Cue and threw his hand forward, taking grip of the Power Sword. He shouted and swung into Red’s chest with both weapons, sending him flying back, relieving him of his weapons.

Noah took a slash, but grabbed one of Blue’s arms. He rammed his knee up and pushed him back, and then span around to slash him from shoulder to hip, making him drop his Grips.

Yellow swung the Lance low, but Gia stepped on it. She slashed, but Saba was caught by the Silverizer. Gia leapt up and kicked her in the chest, and upon landing slashed her with Saba twice to knock her back and relieve her of her weapons.

Jake ducked a swing from Green as he swung his rifle-like weapon, and then Jake rammed his staff right into Green’s chest to knock him back, pretty much catching the weapon in his arms.

Emma ran straight for Pink, slashing left and right as the shots flew at her. She leapt up, landed behind the Pink Pirate, and span around with a shout, catching her down the chest as she turned, relieving her of her weapons and knocking her back.

“We aren’t done yet!†the Red Pirate shouted as he and the team drew up the Zeo Cannon between themselves.

Noah lifted the Delta Enforcer and fired first, blasting their front two members (Green and Blue) and knocking the cannon from their grips. Emma rolled forward and slashed the other three back.

Red lifted the Earth Slicer, while Blue held the Lion Hammer, and Yellow the Thunder Staff. Pink took the Drill Blaster, and Green the blue Quasar Launcher.

The Zeo Cannon was charged quickly and fired into the Pirates, blasting them back and relieving them of their weapons again.

“This is the power of Rangers and their respect!†Troy shouted, “We didn’t steal! We were given this!â€

Red held the Rail Saber, Green the Bullzooka, Pink the Magna Blaster, and Yellow and Blue both held the Rescuebird.

The five Rangers held the Megaforce Blazer, loaded with their cards already.

“Ha!†they shouted, firing, blasting the Pirates back and making them lose their weapons.

The Rangers hurried to secure the downed weapons while the Pirates remained on the ground. Troy walked up to Red and looked down at him.

“This is the power of real Rangers,†he told him.

“We might have run out of stolen weapons, but we have one more thing…,†he hissed.

“Your Megazord,†Troy said.

“Yes,†the Red Pirate hissed, teleporting with the others as the shadow of the Megazord appeared.

“Guys, let’s go,†Troy said.

“We can’t summon a Megazord,†Jake reminded him.

“We’re going inside,†Troy told them, looking at the Pirate Megazord.


The Rangers teleported inside, finding themselves in the inner workings of the Megazord (any factory-type location will do. Gokaiger already did that anyway). They hurried down the corridor, but took instant fire from Green and Pink, dual-wielding firearms and using the corner for cover.

“Rock Rush!†the two Earth Rangers shouted, using their cards to send rocks from the ground down the corridor and around the corner, smashing into the two Rangers.

“Where did the rocks come from?†Jake asked.

“Teleported?†Gia said, “Don’t know, doesn’t matter.â€

They ran down and took one of the corners, heading up a flight of stairs where Blue and Yellow immediately leapt out with swords. The Rangers rolled to avoid them.

Noah and Emma both attacked at once, parrying their blades and holding them off, while using their second hand to load a card they were already holding.

“Press Shower!†Noah shouted, pushing back and slashing with a water-powered slash into Blue’s chest.

“Compress Thunder!†Emma shouted, slashing Yellow with a thunder-infused slash.

The team kept moving until they found a steel door. Troy pushed it open to see the Red Pirate at the controls, which were five consoles, similar to the command center’s consoles.

He turned to look at Troy and the others, and lifted his sword and firearm, “It’s just down to me,†he hissed, rushing forward. Troy ran at him and ducked the swing of the sword. He pushed back and just barely avoided taking a shot.

Troy swung the Dragon Dagger down, but the Pirate blocked it with his firearm. He rammed his sword forward, but Troy twisted and caught it under his arm. He rammed his knee into the Red Pirate Ranger’s chest and stumbled him back.

Troy loaded a card into his Morpher and drew it out. “Compress Thunder!†he shouted, firing the blast from his Morpher straight into the Pirate Ranger’s chest, blasting him into the wall with a shout.

He slumped to the ground, leaving the controls open. The team was already going to their colors (although Jake, after a moment’s hesitation, took green).

“We don’t have Star Guard, and the other Megazords won’t appear,†Troy said, “This will be ours from now on. We need a Megazord, after all.â€

“What about the Pirates?†Noah asked, turning, but the Red Ranger was gone. “Guys?â€

“I don’t know what happened, but we won,†Troy said, looking outside at the city, “We won…â€


Hexatrix held up five keys in her hand. One for each Pirate Ranger.

“A pity,†she said.

Vekar shouted and hit his chair again, “How could the fail?†he shouted, “They were father’s soldiers!â€

“Do not underestimate those Rangers,†Vrak told his brother, “I learned that the hard way.â€

Vekar glared at Vrak, and then turned away from him.

“I believe this means a full scale invasion is in order,†Vrak said.

Vekar nodded slowly, “Yes…yes it is…â€


At the command center, Andros was gone, leaving only the team there.

“We beat them, and hopefully for good,†Jake said.

“I love our new powers,†Emma said, “We get to carry on the wills of the Rangers who helped us.â€

Gia nodded, “It’s going to be a great help.â€

“But we can’t celebrate,†Troy said, looking at all of the newly acquired weapons, “We don’t know what’s out there yet, waiting to attack, about to attack… We all have to be ready to fight.â€

“We’re always ready,†Jake said.

Troy nodded slowly, “And we need to find the Phantom Ranger…†He walked to his console and leaned against it, “Guys…we have to be extremely careful moving on from here. Those fake Rangers were so powerful, and if Legacy Mode hadn’t appeared, then…â€

came through,†Gia said, “And now we have something new in our arsenal. Well…a lot of new things.â€

“Hey, anyone else think we should have just found the Pirate Rangers Morphers and taken them?†he asked, “Give ourselves another upgrade?â€

“Why?†Noah asked, “We don’t know their suits, or what powers they might have. They might have just been really powerful, and the suits were just suits. Besides, why give up the powers we’re used to?â€

“Good point,†Jake said.

“Guys, let’s just be extremely careful and watch closely,†Troy said, “We need to be ready for anything, and I fear that it’s only just begun.â€


Notes:

Obviously this is going in a different route. Gokaiger footage, but with Goseiger suits. Yes. I'm doing a Mighty Morphin Season 2/3 thing here. Granted, this is the part where I deviate from the Saban approach (this would probably cost too much, although I do try to keep things low in the chapters I write, so it's theoretically doable, but there's no way it would happen).

Obviously this is where I deviate from what part 1 was about, and outdoing Saban. Even with the body language issues (my main reason for doing this), Saban still went ahead with suit swapping. I opted against that and chose to use legacy weapons and invoked imagery of the past Rangers (so a compromise of sorts). This is still a potential attempt at how to tackle it, but by no means is it a version they'd ever try or think about, I imagine. While part 1 was basically using what Saban used, part 2 is my take on what should have been done, while trying to keep things under control.

I did indeed make designs for the "Legacy Mode", which can be found here. And yes, remember those little shines that they got when meeting a veteran? Well, this is what the end result was.

Chapter 3: The Empire Arrives

[Gokaiger 2. 6:10-6:14]

The flagship sat in space (zoom in).

[End Sentai footage]

“The Pirate Rangers failed,†Vekar muttered, “How could they fail? Father sent them himself!â€

“It’s been a week,†Vrak muttered, leaning against the back wall, against the raised platform at which Dravo stood, operating the controls, “Get over it.â€

Vekar turned furiously towards his brother, “Why should I?†he shouted, “They should have destroyed the Rangers!â€

“Calm down, and realize how large of an attack force you have,†Vrak told him, “Send them out.â€

“This is my ship!†Vekar shouted, “I decide on what we do, not you!â€

“Your brother is right, my Prince,†General Sydo said as he stepped into the room, “An attack now would be best. All you’re doing by sitting here and…contemplating the failure of the Pirate Rangers is giving the enemy more time to prepare. We should attack; put all of our weight down at once.â€

“Not all of it,†Vekar muttered, “But a large attack force.â€

“Not all of it?†Vrak asked his brother, “That’s not like you.â€

“I learned a few things in the academy,†he hissed.

“So did I.†He looked at the closest Metin and eyed its weapon, “Shall I show you again?â€

“I learned military strategy,†Vekar hissed, gesturing to his chest, at the emblems, “These are medals! Look at them, and how much they represent!â€

“Medals mean nothing,†Vrak said.

“They mean more than those feathers of yours,†Vekar told him, then gestured, “What do those even mean?â€

“A bird is graceful, fast, and can strike from above at its prey without any warning. These feathers are of the sacred winged beasts of various planets who held birds in high regard. They give me some power.â€

“They make you look ridiculous.â€

“Your medals may look impressive, but to someone who knows you, they mean nothing,†Vrak said.

“Princes,†Sydo growled, “Please, stop this and focus on the task at hand!â€

Vrak nodded once.

“Go,†Vekar told the General, “Go and do your thing.â€

“Understood,†Sydo said, giving a bow before turning and exiting the chamber.

“I’d feel much better if he were making the plans, not you,†Vrak told his brother.

“I don’t care what you think, or what would make you feel better,†Vekar said, “This is my ship. If you want to be in charge, go to Malkor’s. It’s out there, somewhere,†he gestured out to space, via the window, “But of course, you’ll be alone.â€

“I much prefer it here,†Vrak said, “And soon enough, your crew will see who they should be listening to.â€

Vekar gripped the arms of his chair tightly for a moment, and then let go. He had to control himself around his brother. He couldn’t let Vrak get the better of him.


[Gokaiger 1. 0:18-0:40]

The ships started to come over the city and began to open fire. Buildings started to explode from continual heavy fire as the ships just continued to fly over. On the ground, Metins and their stronger counterparts, the Kraves, began to move in, operating as a large ground force.

[End Sentai footage]


A teacher ran into the classroom, which was shaking a little, along with the rest of the school, “There’s an alien invasion!†he shouted, “Everyone, stay indoors! We’re going to lock everything! Just stay quiet and stay low!†And then the teacher ran off, but they could hear him shouting it to another classroom.

The Rangers looked at each other, while others talked amongst themselves about this development. Mr. Burley looked at his students, “I won’t let any harm befall you! That’s my oath as your teacher! So, we’re going,†he said, “to…um…the basement! Yes, the basement! Hurry!†He ran to the door and urged his students to follow him.

Troy was one of the last to rise, and went slower to the door, but then grabbed the others and pulled them back as they started to exit.

“This has to be part of the Empire,†he told them, “Their evil Rangers lost, so they’re sending down a bigger attack. We have to stop it.â€

“Of course we do,†Noah said.

“So, what’s the plan?†Jake asked.

“We’re going to Morph and head right out,†Troy said.

“The building shook,†Gia said, “Do you expect us to take the Megazord into the sky and attack?â€

“If we have to,†Troy said.

“We still don’t know what we’re doing with it though,†Emma told him.

“She’s right,†Noah agreed.

“I know…,†Troy muttered, “Look. Let’s deal with the ground forces first, and then figure it out.†He looked out into the hall and could see Metins walking past the windows. He drew his head back in, “They’re here…â€

“Then let’s stop them,†Jake said.

“Protect the school,†Noah agreed.

Troy nodded and everyone drew out their Morphers. “Mega Morph!†they said, transforming. They ran into the hallway and watched as a series of Metins broke into the building, axes raised.

Troy drew his sidearm, “Take them down!†he called, opening fire alongside the others. The Metins didn’t get much of a chance to raise their weapons as the blasts struck them, taking them down.

More came in and ran towards the Rangers. Some went down, but some made it through the fire and attacked.

Troy ducked and kneed one in the chest before pushing it back and spinning to kick it. Noah ducked one’s swing and threw it to the ground before shooting it once in the back.

Jake ducked and swept its legs out from under it while Gia blocked the swing down with her blaster and then gave it a few rapid punches. Emma parried the axe twice with her blaster and span around before firing straight into the Metin’s chest to take it down.

“Let’s go,†Troy said, looking at the downed Metins, “I hate to leave the school, but we have to go and help everyone else.â€

The Rangers nodded, not going to argue with him. They all knew they wanted to stay and help defend the school, but everyone else was in danger. They had to go and keep fighting, not just stay here and hold down one position.

As soon as they exited the school they ran into another small patrol. The Metins and Kraves ran for the five Rangers.

“Make short work of them!†Troy shouted as he loaded a card along with the others. They snatched their weapons and ran forward, shouting.

Troy ducked Metin’s swing and slashed it down the side, before spinning and blocking the claw of a Krave. He kicked it back and then got two swift slashes into its chest.

Noah span his bowgun around to block a Krave’s claw, and then leapt back. He flipped it around and fired a few times, bending his arrows into the Krave and three Metins, taking them down.

Jake swung his axe down a Metin’s chest, dropping it. He span and parried a Krave’s claw, but the second one knocked him flat. As it punched down, he blocked with the flat of his axe, and then kicked it hard in the chest. As it stumbled back, Jake rolled forward and slashed it through the chest.

Gia slashed a Metin’s weapon from its hands with her claw, and then span around to slash a Krave in the chest. She span again to slash the Metin down, and then span, plowing a yellow energized claw attack into the Krave.

Emma fired at pointblank into the Krave until it dropped, and then span around, parrying the Metin’s axe. She pushed back and slashed it across the chest with the ridge of her weapon, and then fired right into the metal soldier’s chest to take it down. She span, taking down two more at her side.

“Go!†Troy shouted, cutting down one more Metin. He followed the others as they ran through the destroyed buildings, heading towards wherever the attacks were hitting.

[Gokaiger 2. 9:50-10:07]

More Metins and Kraves landed on the ground nearby people, who shouted and ran upon seeing them. General Sydo landed behind them with a grunt. He came up and lifted his weapon to his right shoulder, “I’m getting too old for this,†he muttered as he let loose missiles from his weapon, sending them flying at all of the buildings around him.

[Gokaiger 2. 10:26-10:28]

Sydo walked along with Metins at his side.

[End Sentai footage]

The Rangers continued to shoot and cut down Metins around them as they ran. People kept running in fear, and the Rangers kept pointing back, the way they had just come from.

“It’s safer that way!†Troy was shouting.

“We’ve been beating them!†Emma told them, “Go that way!â€

Jake pointed ahead, “Look at that big green guy!†he shouted.

Troy stopped and drew his sidearm, “Looks like someone we should be worried about,†Troy said, lifting his weapon and firing. The blast struck the ground by his feet.

[Gokaiger 2. 12:27-12:29]

Sydo turned and walked in their direction, letting out a low growl.

[End Sentai footage]

The Rangers came together and lifted their weapons as Sydo approached them. “So, you’re the Power Rangers,†Sydo said.

“And who are you?†Troy demanded, “The leader?â€

“My name is General Sydo, so you could say that, yes,†he told the Rangers.

“General?†Noah asked, “So if we take you down…â€

“The invasion will not stop,†Sydo said, “Not until the Princes are eliminated, not until all of the command structure is crushed. But I know combat better than any of them. I’ve seen so much in my time; you have no hopes of defeating me.â€

“We’ll see,†Gia said.

“We shall,†Sydo growled.

The Rangers lifted their weapons and shouted as they ran in at him. Troy leapt forward and slashed, but Sydo moved back, and then rocked forward and punched him in the chest, throwing him back.

Troy shouted and hit the ground hard, rolling and losing his grip on his sword, “He’s…he’s so strong…â€

Gia and Emma shouted as they came in. Emma leapt off of Gia’s back and fired while Gia went in low for a slash. Sydo span to the side and kicked Gia before jumping and punching Emma as she came down.

Noah came in and swung his bowgun while it rested down his arm. Sydo continued to move back to avoid it before catching it and kneeing Noah in the chest. He grabbed Noah by the upper arm and span, throwing him to the ground.

Jake shouted as he came in, swinging his axe. Sydo caught it, but Jake let go and tackled Sydo, but the monster barely moved.

“I have the edge in strength,†he hissed, grabbing Jake by the scruff of the neck. He slammed Jake down and then stomped on his back.

Sydo let out a sigh and lowered his cannon weapon, “Well, I guess it’s the end for you five…â€

“Everyone!†Troy shouted, “Now!â€

Before Sydo could pull the trigger, the five Rangers teleported.

Sydo sighed and lowered his weapon, “Very well,†he growled, “Run, fight again later. It’ll be the same result, no matter what.†He looked at the Metins and Kraves nearby, “Come! We will continue the attack!â€


“At least the command center is safe,†Noah said as he put his helmet on his console and looked around; making sure that everything was sealed.

“What good does it do us other than protecting the weapons?†Jake questioned, “I mean, we don’t have the Phantom Ranger anymore! What do we do, just come back here when we lose? When we need to rest?â€

“That’s precisely what we do,†Noah said, and then looked to Troy, “Right?â€

“I don’t know,†Troy said, shaking his head as he set his helmet down, “I just don’t know…I hate to admit that. But…â€

“We’ll figure this out,†Gia said, “We can defeat those soldiers. We just have to stop all of them, that’s the hard part of it. But we’ve been winning so far.â€

“The only problem is their commander,†Emma agreed, “But we can avoid him. Or use Shining Mode. Or Legacy Mode!â€

Troy nodded, “We can do that, but what about the ships? The city is being blown apart from the sky, and we can’t do anything about it!â€

“We’ll figure out what to do,†Noah said, hurrying to his console. He moved his helmet and got to work, “I think I can get us somewhere.â€

“Just work quickly,†Troy said, sounding agitated, “We’re fighting too many threats. Their commander, the soldiers, the ships…and of course, we have Vrak. And…he mentioned multiple Princes. There’s at least one more. And another command structure. We saw Hexatrix and a robot thing when we fought the Pirates…â€

“We defeated the insects, the Orgs, and the machines,†Gia reminded Troy, “We can beat all of this as well.â€

“But when does it stop?†Troy questioned, “When do we finally admit that we’re being overworked? Overwhelmed? We’ve defeated three enemy types already, and now we’re facing more! We’re failing this city as long as we do nothing, and even if we go and fight, they can still hit the city, and we can do nothing about it! We’re only five…we’re not an army, not like the old Rangers were. We can’t stop this.â€

“We can and will stop this!†Gia shouted at him, “The Troy we all know and look up to wouldn’t talk like this! Now, just take a step back and look at the rest of us. We’re all tired, all wounded, all of us are wondering what’s going to happen. You’re our leader. We look to you for support. Now, look at us. We’re not complaining, we’re fighting onward. Look at us and follow our lead. You’ve been leading us for so long, now it’s your turn to follow our lead!â€

Troy looked at the faces of the other Rangers, and then reached for his helmet. He tucked it under his arm and nodded once.

“We can’t let them beat us,†he said, shaking his head, “No…†He put his helmet back on, “Guys, let’s go.â€

They all replaced their helmets and teleported.


[Gokaiger 2. 13:37-13:43]

Sydo and his soldiers kept moving and Sydo began to loose more missiles, blowing up some trucks. They continued into an industrial area, at which point Sydo turned.

[End Sentai footage]

The Mega Rangers stood at the other end of the street, no weapons in hand.

[Gokaiger 2. 13:49-13:53]

“You’ve returned?†Sydo questioned, “I admire that you’ve come to face a proper end.â€

[End Sentai footage]

“We’re going to take you down this time,†Troy told him, “We’re the Power Rangers! We won’t lose!â€

“I’ve known warriors like you in the past. All of them fell,†Sydo told them, “But show me what you can do!â€

The Metins and Kraves ran towards the Rangers, who stood their ground.

“Alright guys!†Troy said, summoning the Dragon Dagger, “Let’s do this!â€


“General Sydo will see to them,†Vekar said.

“Perhaps,†Vrak said, “But unless you converge all of the forces on the Rangers, I doubt it.â€

“There’s five of them, and General Sydo is one of our most seasoned leaders!†Vekar told his brother.

“I know what the Rangers are capable of. And weren’t the Pirate Rangers supposed to destroy them? Look what happened to them…â€

“General Sydo is better,†Vekar hissed.

“Do not underestimate them,†Vrak said, “They have yet to show their full power, after all…â€


Troy (MMPR Green suit) slashed through Metins and stopped (Green as he fights, back to Mega Red as he finishes his combat) as they fell and exploded.

Jake (MMPR Black) slashed through his opponents with his Power Axe, and rolled to the side. He came up and fired from the Power Axe, destroying them. They fell, exploding (back to Mega Black as explosion fades to reveal him).

Noah ducked the swings of a Krave and Metin and span around, slashing both across the back with his sword (NS Green) and parried their attacks. He was pushed back, but finally stopped and pushed their attacks back before slashing through their chests and cutting them down (Mega Blue).

Emma ducked the swings of two Metins (DT White) and span around, kicking one back. She slashed the other one twice, and then moved in on the one she kicked, slashing it across the chest and running through it. It fell, exploding (Mega Pink).

Gia slashed with Saba, knocking the Metin’s weapon out of its hand (MMPR White). She kicked it back and span around to slash the other one down that was behind her. She span again to cut down the first one, causing them to explode (Mega Yellow).

[Gokaiger 2. 16:48-16:50]

Sydo walked around the corner and lifted his weapon, opening fire with missiles.

[End Sentai footage]

As the missiles flew for the Rangers, Troy leapt back to the others, “Drill Blaster!†he shouted, grabbing the weapon as it appeared in his hands.

The others got behind him and grabbed his back to help brace him. The weapon charged and fired (all Ranger suits replaced with OO suits, colors corresponding), destroying the missiles in the air.

Troy lowered the Drill Blaster (back to Mega) and looked at Sydo, who lowered his weapon.

[Gokaiger 2. 16:52-16:55]

“Fine then,†he growled and moved forward.

[Gokaiger 2. 16:58-17:01]

He threw his hand forward, “Here’s a barrage then!†he shouted, letting loose a large number of missiles.

[End Sentai footage]

“Tricera Shield!†Noah shouted, grabbing the shield. He moved in front of them (DT Blue) and lifted the weapon, taking the explosions into the weapon. The others braced him and held tight, but were all pushed back. Still, they remained on their feet instead of being knocked to the ground.

He lowered the shield (Mega Blue) and the others stepped forward. Gia threw her hands out, “Ptera Grips!â€

“Power Sword!†Troy shouted.

“Power Axe!†Jake shouted, thrusting his weapon forward.

“Power Lance!†Emma shouted.

The five Rangers stood together (in order: DT Blue, DT Yellow, MMPR Red, MMPR Black, MMPR Blue-female version) and lifted their weapons, rushing towards Sydo.

Noah thrust the shield out, but Sydo stepped back and kicked forward. Noah took the kick onto his shield and held it tight.

Gia leapt off of his back, shouting as she came down. She slashed Sydo in the chest, knocking him back, giving Jake a chance to roll in and fire into his chest repeatedly. Sydo stumbled back, shouting.

Troy and Emma came in at once, both of them slashing and spinning, then thrusting to knock him back.

The Rangers came together and lifted the Bullzooka (all Samurai), firing once with a shout.

The blast slammed into Sydo, throwing his cannon off of his shoulder and destroying it in mid-air.

[Gokaiger 2. 17:24-17:27]

“I’m not done yet!†Sydo shouted, thrusting his left arm out. Blades came off of it.

[End Sentai footage]

The Rangers came back and threw their arms forward.

“Legacy Mode!†they shouted, erupting into golden light. When it faded, they wore the armors of their predecessors.

Sydo shouted and rushed towards them. He swung, but Troy caught it on his Dragon Dagger and pushed back. He ducked the next swing and rolled under.

Gia came in and threw a high kick in, knocking Sydo’s arm up. She twisted and turned it into a side kick, knocking him back, right into Emma’s sword slash as she ran past his back.

He shouted and span to Emma, but Noah leapt down his back, slashing him. He span, backhanding, but Noah ducked. Jake shouted and swung low, but Sydo lifted his leg. That left him open for Troy to sweep out his other leg, taking him down, and then Jake rammed his staff into Sydo’s chest.

Sydo kicked Jake back and came to his feet. He found himself face-to-face with the Electro Booster, however.

The Rangers braced Troy, who was wielding it (TF suits) and fired with a shout.

[Gokaiger 2. 17:41-17:42]

Sydo was thrown through the air, shouting.

[End Sentai footage]

The Rangers formed the Blazer while in Legacy Mode. As Sydo rose again, they fired with a shout, blasting him right in the chest.

[Gokaiger 2. 18:28-18:30]

Sydo’s body began to spark as he clutched at his chest. He groaned and began to tilt.

[End Sentai footage]

“We got him,†Troy said.


“No!†Vekar screamed, “General Sydo! How dare they! How dare those Rangers defeat him like this!â€

“I’ll summon Zombats,†Vrak said.

“No need,†Hexatrix said, typing on a control panel, “This ship is equipped with a better method. It’ll increase his power, unlike a Zombat.†She drew out a small pistol-like object, connected to the panel.

“Fine then,†Vrak said, crossing his arms.

[Gokaiger 2. 18:58-19:07]

Cannons emerged from the twin horses of the flagship and expanded. Hexatrix pulled the trigger, causing energy to fire down to the Earth.

The energy struck the defeated Sydo’s body. He began to move again.

[Gokaiger 2. 19:10-19:23]

He came to his feet and shouted as he began to enlarge. The beam also caused three Kraves to enlarge.

The Kraves began to blast everything around them as they stood enlarged with Sydo (note: cut out Gokaigers in the foreground. It should be possible, since this is clearly two different pieces of footage).

[End Sentai footage]

“We need the Megazord,†Jake said.

“How do we summon it though?†Emma asked.

Noah drew out his Morpher, “I’ve worked that out,†he said, showing them a card, “I made this. It’ll respond with the Pirate Zords, just like the old Zords responded with their cards.†He loaded it into his Morpher and thrust it up, “I’ll get some for you guys later. Assuming this works…â€

[Gokaiger 2. 19:30-19:31]

The red Zord flew through the clouds.

[End Sentai footage]

The Mega Rangers drew up their Morphers and teleported, landing beside their panels in the cockpit.

[Gokaiger 2. 19:40-19:43]

The ship flew towards he combatants. The Kraves turned to look.

[Gokaiger 2. 19:45-19:50]

“Fire!†the team shouted as the cannons mounted on the side opened fire on one of the Kraves, pretty much blasting it into submission.

[Gokaiger 2. 19:51-19:54]

The ship turned and slammed into another Krave.

[Gokaiger 2. 19:55-19:59]

The ship turned and kept flying, opening fire on the others, forcing them to respond and Sydo to growl in pain.

[End Sentai footage]

“I think it’s time to combine,†Troy said.

The others all nodded, “Right,†they said. Each of them reached down and activated something on their panels.

[Gokaiger 2. 20:04-20:18]

The other Zords emerged from the red Zord, and moved around it, moving in on the two Kraves and Sydo.

They fired on the Zords, but to no affect.

[Gokaiger 2. 20:19-20:21]

The green and blue Zords returned fire, blasting one Krave.

[Gokaiger 2. 20:23-20:27]

The yellow and pink Zords fired as well, striking the same Krave and knocking it back. It exploded.

[Gokaiger 2. 20:33-20:35]

The Zords came together in space and flew around each other.

[Gokaiger 2. 20:39-20:52]

The Zords came together, forming the arms and legs of the Megazord.

[Gokaiger 2. 20:53-20:57]

The Megazord put its hat on.

[Gokaiger 2. 20:59-21:17]

The Megazord came down, both swords in hand. Sydo shouted as it landed and evaded their attacks while slashing at both the Krave and the warrior.

The Megazord landed opposite of them, but Sydo ran forward with arm blade, shouting as he swung. The Megazord parried and scored a few shots on his body before turning to stab at the Krave, fighting both at once.

[Gokaiger 2. 21:18-21:21]

The Megazord stabbed Sydo, taking him down.

[Gokaiger 2. 21:24-21:26]

As the Megazord faced the Krave, it focused energy into its claws.

[Gokaiger 2. 21:27-21:34]

The Megazord flipped away from the energy blasts, and the Rangers shouted as they tried to keep the evasive maneuver up.

“I’m shocked that worked!†Jake said as they landed.

Sydo leapt at their back and grabbed them, shaking the Megazord.

[End Sentai footage]

The Rangers shouted and were shaken around in their cockpit.

[Gokaiger 2. 21:35-21:37]

As Sydo held tight, the Krave lifted both arms up and drew them forward.

[Gokaiger 2. 21:42-21:43]

Sydo twisted the port on the back of the Megazord.

[End Sentai footage]

“That wasn’t smart,†Noah said as something came up on his display. He flicked it to the side, causing it to appear on everyone’s.

[Gokaiger 2. 21:45-21:52]

Sydo was blasted back as ports opened on the arms and legs of the Megazord, as well as the chest, from which a cannon protruded. A blast came out of the cannon, flying for the Krave, and it continued to fire, taking shells from the limbs.

The Krave took fire until it was destroyed.

Sydo threw his arm forward, “No!†he shouted.

The ports closed.

[Gokaiger 2. 21:54-21:55]

The Megazord turned to face Sydo.

[End Sentai footage]

Noah flicked his screen again, “Here’s the finisher!â€

The others touched their screens at the designated.

[Gokaiger 2. 22:02-22:13]

The port on the back of the Megazord began to spin and the Megazord leapt u, charging with energy. “Cannonball Barrage!†they all shouted as the cannon appeared again and fired continually on Sydo. Sydo’s missiles flew back.

[Gokaiger 2. 22:25-22:26]

The blasts continued, blasting Sydo’s cannon down, and then he too fell. He exploded as the Megazord turned away.

[Gokaiger 2. 22:28-22:32]

The Megazord stood, withdrew the cannon, and posed.

[End Sentai footage]

“General!†Vekar shouted, slamming his fist against his chair, “No! How could he fall?â€

“He was old,†Vrak said, “But he put up a good fight.â€

Vekar shook his head furiously, “No! Now who will lead the soldiers?â€

“I can, my Prince,†Dravo offered.

Vekar turned to his bodyguard, “Perhaps…â€

Vrak shook his head and left the chamber.

“We need a new plan of attack,†Dravo said, “A new method to subjugate the Earth with.â€

“Do you have anything in mind?†Vekar asked.

“I do.â€


On Earth the Rangers ran and cut through more Metins with their Legacy Modes. Troy shot two down and helped the civilians to their feet, “Go!†he told them, directing tht was safe.

“How many more can there be?†Emma asked.

“Too many,†Gia said.

“They came in force, that’s for sure,†Noah said.

“How can we beat all of them?†Jake questioned.

Troy looked up and down the battered street, at the destroyed buildings around them. He shook his head.

“Guys…I don’t know how to proceed,†he said, “Honestly, I don’t. We can fight until we’re so tired that even these things can beat us, but what good will it do? There really is no apparent end to them.â€

“Troy…,†Emma said.

“We’ll keep fighting,†Troy said, “But we have to be smart about it. Pick our battles. We’re going to need to rest eventually, even if people are in danger.â€

“We can’t leave them, but…,†Gia said.

Troy nodded, “Yeah…â€

They all took in their surroundings and then nodded.

“I’m so sorry…,†Troy said, “Everyone…but we’ll save you. We will…â€

And then they all teleported.

Chapter 4: Magical Source

Troy’s hand was shaking as he reached out for his sword, lying with the weapons of their predecessors. He looked at his hand, and then grabbed his wrist with his other hand, trying to steady himself.

“I’m afraid…,†he muttered to himself. He turned and looked around, but nobody was there. He shook his head and turned back, grabbing his sword, but the blade was shaking. He dropped it, letting it fall onto the floor of the cave.

“No…,†he muttered, shaking his head. With his left hand he rubbed some of the sleep out of his tired eyes, “No!†he shouted, his voice reverberating off of the cave walls, “I can’t be afraid! I can’t be! There are so many people out there right now, all of them living in fear of this invasion…the Power Rangers fighting to save them just can’t be afraid!â€

He looked around the empty cave, and then left his sword lying on the ground. He walked over to his console and hit a few buttons on the touch screen. “Phantom Ranger…are you there?†he asked. “Did Noah’s booster work? Can you hear us?†he called.

There was nothing.

He slammed his fist down into his leg, “Tommy? Andros? Casey? Zack? Cam? Anybody?†he shouted.

Nothing.

Panting, he walked back and picked up his sword from the ground. He tightened his grip and walked to the entrance of the cave. He took a deep breath and hit his Morpher with his hand, causing his helmet to appear on his head. He ran out.


Troy shouted and ran out from behind a building. A group of Metins that had cornered a few people under one of the working streetlights turned and looked at him, and then turned to the Ranger. Two of them went to their knees and turned their weapons around, firing from the shafts while the other Metins ran for Troy.

Troy shouted as he was struck three times, and then stopped. He parried one Metin’s weapon and kicked its leg out before spinning and slashing a second Metin across the chest. He jumped back and pulled his Morpher down and then quickly opened his belt, grabbed a card, and loaded it.

“Shining Morph!†he shouted, transforming in a burst of gold light. He leapt out of it, slashing through two Metins with his blades as he ran for the ones who shot at him. They continued to fire, but he took it against his armor before sliding and slashing both of them across the chests, taking them down.

“Go!†he told the people, “Stay indoors, especially at night! We’re doing our best, but please, stay indoors and stay hidden!â€

The people ran, leaving Troy there, panting. As soon as they were out of sight, he fell to his knees, breathing harder.

He shook his head, “I can’t…I can’t stop…†He braced himself on his Shining Sword, “I can’t stop yet…â€


In the daylight, Noah and Emma fired from atop a building, taking down a number of Metins by striking them in the back. Ahead of them, Jake and Gia were fighting at the front of the Metins, keeping their focus. The two pronged attack was working and quickly wearing down the numbers of this troop, until they were finished.

“We need a better way,†Noah said as he and Emma leapt down to join the other two.

“But what can we do?†Emma asked, “We’re stuck fighting like this for the most part.â€

Gia nodded, “She’s right.â€

“What if we just stepped on them with the Megazord?†Jake asked.

Noah held his hand up, “Wait…,†he said. He looked to the sky, “We’ve seen them deploy troops,†he said, “We know they keep deploying to keep their numbers up…â€

(set as flashback, hazy border, something)

[Gokaiger 1. 13:03-13:07]

Troops rode out of their ships on large anchor-like objects, being sent down onto the planet itself.

[End Sentai footage (note: end flashback)]

“You want to cut them off at the source,†Gia said.

Noah nodded, “And I think I know what we can do. But it’s risky.â€

“I say we do it,†Jake said. “I mean…I’ve grown, I know not to take stupid risks anymore, but still, we’re not getting anywhere at this rate. We need to make a move, no matter how risky it might be.â€

“Agreed,†Emma said.

Gia nodded, “Let’s hear it.â€


Troy leaned against a wall and panted. He could hear the marching feet of Metins around the corner, but didn’t move yet. He took in another breath and pushed off the building, turning the corner. He drew his Shining Sword back and thrust it forward, shouting.

A blast of energy blew through the mechanical soldiers, clearing the street.

“Impressive,†a voice behind him said.

Troy span around, lifting his weapons and swinging his Dragon Sword forward on instinct, but the brown armored figure caught it.

“Who are you?†Troy hissed, “Another soldier?â€

“I am bodyguard to the Prince,†he hissed, “Advisor and ally to the King. Dravo.â€

“And where does that place you? We just beat a General, after all,†Troy told him.

“I am more than General Sydo could ever hope to be,†Dravo hissed, pushing the sword back and punching Troy in the chest. Troy shouted as he was thrown down the street, his armor shattering from the impact of the fist.

Troy rolled to his knees, leaning heavily on his sword as he watched Dravo walk towards him, a sword in his hand.

“Prepare to meet your end,†Dravo hissed.


[Gokaiger 1. 5:42-5:45]

The Skyship Zord flew through space, over the landscape of the moon, flying towards a number of the Vago Empire ships.

[End Sentai footage]

The four Rangers were at their controls, with Noah taking charge.

“How did they not detect us?†Emma asked.

“I used one of my cards,†Noah said, “Camo Mirage. It cloaked us and got us past their sensors. Besides, we’re technically one of their ships, I think. So that probably helped. Seeing an allied ship enter their radar? No real concern there, there’s so many ships up here.â€

“So, if this fails?†Jake asked.

“Don’t think about it,†Noah said, “Please don’t think about it.â€

“We won’t fail,†Gia asserted.

Noah nodded and pushed on his panel.

[Gokaiger 1. 5:51-6:01]

A Krave stood with two Metins aboard one of the ships, giving them growls mixed with beeps. It turned and walked forward, to where two Metins were manning the controls. An alarm was starting to sound.

The Krave nodded.

The ship, along with the others ships around them, began to fire their green beams out, bombarding the landscape of the moon as they aimed at the Skyship Zord, which flew right into the fire.

[Gokaiger 1. 6:03-6:08]

One ship came close to the Skyship, which turned and fired from its side cannons, blowing it apart.

[Gokaiger 1. 6:09-6:34]

The Skyship turned as the ships continued to fire. It rammed through the center of one ship, using the parts that would become the swords for the Megazord to cleave the ship in half. The Metins onboard let out cries mixed with beeps as they went down.

On one monitor the ship displayed as lost, along with numerous others. The Krave who observed this continued to growl and beep, and Vekar’s voice could be heard booming, “All ships, stop them! Stop them now!â€

The Krave threw its arm out.

The ships all began to fire on the Skyship, completely enveloping it in fire.

The Krave clenched its fist.

Out of the explosion came the Pirate Megazord, running along the surface of the moon. The four Rangers could be heard shouting as they came in to attack, swords drawn.

The Krave backed away in the cockpit, giving a nervous beep and growl.

The Megazord ran through the fire and leapt, cleaving through ships and evading their shots.

[End Sentai footage]

“We’re doing it!†Jake shouted, pumping a fist in the air in victory.

[Gokaiger 1. 6:35-6:47]

The Megazord continued to jump and slash, and then started to fire from the blue Zord arm before coming in and kicking one ship, the ship that had the Krave. It kicked that ship into another, and into another, and then the three exploded as the Megazord leapt out.

[Gokaiger 1. 6:50-6:54]

The Megazord stood there, the Earth behind it.

[End Sentai footage]

“It worked!†Emma said happily.

“Alright, good,†Noah said, “But we should retreat. We got a surprise attack in, and that’s bound to slow them down, but we can’t risk a longer fight.â€

“Sounds like a good idea,†Gia said.

Jake nodded.

[Gokaiger 1. 7:02-7:06]

The Megazord split apart and the Zords receded into each other, and then flew back to the Earth.


[Gokaiger 2. 6:10-6:14]

Zoom in on flagship.

[End Sentai footage]

“How could they do that?†Vekar shouted.

“They’re smarter than I thought,†Vrak hissed, “This shouldn’t have happened!†He looked to his brother, “I feel your pain, believe it or not.â€

“Hexatrix!†Vekar shouted, turning to her. He pointed at the console, “Figure this out!â€

“R-right away,†she bowed and hurried over, lifting her datapad and working on both the pad and the controls.

Vrak looked at the Earth, and then turned to his brother, “We will make them pay. Dravo will crush them.â€

“I know he will,†Vekar hissed.


Troy kicked off of the wall of the building and came down with a slash, but Dravo parried with his blade, making very little effort in doing so. He pushed back and knocked Troy to the ground in the process.

“You’re weak, Red Ranger,†he hissed, stalking towards Troy, “No more games. I’m ending you now!â€

He lifted his sword and thrust it down, but found that it had suddenly stopped.

“What is this?†Dravo hissed in anger, pushing down harder.

Suddenly Troy was gone, and the blade struck the ground. Dravo looked around, and then tore his sword free, letting out a low growl of anger.


Troy looked around and lifted his sword defensively. He was alone in the middle of an alley.

“Please think about that,†a woman’s voice said, “Had we wanted you hurt, we’d have left you with him. We saved you.â€

Troy turned to see two people approach. One was a woman, the person whom had been speaking. The other was a man, older than her. There was something about the way he carried himself… He wore a tunic with an “S†on his chest.

“You can power down,†the man said, “You’re safe here. You’re with friends.â€

“And just who are you two?†he questioned.

“I am Daggeron,†the man said, “The Solaris Knight. I fought with the Mystic Rangers,†he gestured forward to Troy, “I believe you have my lamp.â€

Troy held out his hand, summoning the Laser Lamp. He looked up. Daggeron nodded.

“I am Itassis,†the woman said (note: just need the voice actress, who was also Morgana in SPD. The suit may not exist, and this is just playing it safer), “I am Daggeron’s ally, and ward.â€

“I think you stopped being that years ago,†Daggeron told her, crossing his arms.

“I will never cease to learn from you,†Itassis replied. “I learned of courage and honor, but there is so much more.â€

Troy looked at the two of them and rose. His suit vanished and he walked towards them, “What is this about?â€

“You were about to be destroyed, so we saved you,†Daggeron answered.

“It’s simple,†Itassis said, “Can you not see that?†She took a few steps towards Troy and observed him, “Oh. You’re tired…â€

“I’m not,†Troy said.

“You are. Do not lie,†Itassis told him. She took a step back and looked to Daggeron, “This is the city he and his team protect. It’s obvious what’s going on.â€

Daggeron nodded, “You’re wearing yourself thin trying to repel this attack.â€

“I have to!†Troy told him, “I have to protect everyone!â€

“Where is your team?†Daggeron questioned him.

“I…I don’t know,†Troy admitted.

“Splitting up to fight may seem smart, but look at what’s happened to you,†Itassis said, “Your best chances are to fight as one.â€

“I’ve been a warrior for so long…,†Daggeron said as he walked towards Troy, “Listen to me, because you can learn. You need a new way to approach things, or you’re going to be destroyed. Yes, your city is in peril, but if you fall, what then?â€

“But if the city and the people are destroyed, then what’s the point of a team of Rangers?†Troy questioned.

“He speaks the truth,†Itassis said.

“Quiet,†Daggeron told her, turning back to Troy, “The people need you. They need you to be able to stand and fight for them. Destroying yourself won’t help anyone except the enemy.â€

“You do show courage, however,†Itassis said.

Daggeron turned to her, “I don’t know if you’ve ever learned the difference between courage and foolishness,†he said.

“They overlap,†Itassis said, “At least in cases like this.â€

“I’m going back out,†Troy told them. Daggeron grabbed him by the back of his coat.

“No. You’re not. Not yet,†Daggeron said.

“Let go,†Troy told him, turning to face him.

“I’ve seen brashness before, stupidity before. It’s worked out in the end, but this is much different. This is the result of what happened when every Ranger was forced to band together. This is on a scale far greater, and I can’t let you just go out there without learning something, or gaining something new.â€

“And what do you expect to get me to learn?†Troy questioned.

“The meaning of courage,†he said, “And how it differs from how you are now.â€


“Alright, we’re coming down to land,†Noah told them, “Looks like we lost them in the clouds. Thanks, Emma.â€

“No problem,†the Pink Ranger nodded.

[Gokaiger 3. 1:05]

A Vago Empire ship appeared out of the clouds.

[Gokaiger 3. 1:07-1:09]

The Vago Empire ship collided with the back of the Skyship Zord.

[End Sentai footage]

The cockpit shook and the Rangers shouted.

[Gokaiger 3. 1:14-1:19]

The ship continued on past the Skyship and then turned around, following them. It opened fire, but struck around the ship.

[Gokaiger 3. 1:21-1:24]

The ship continued to fire.

[Gokaiger 3. 1:25-1:28]

The Skyship fired from the cannons on its side, exchanging fire with the Vago Empire ship until it was finally struck. But the Skyship took hits too.

[End Sentai footage]

The Rangers shouted as they were tossed around the cockpit, grabbing onto the panels for support.

[Gokaiger 3. 1:29-1:30]

The Skyship plunged into the ground, dragging and tearing it up.

[Gokaiger 3. 1:31-1:33]

The Zord finally came to a stop.

[End Sentai footage]

The Rangers were ejected and flew through the air before landing on the ground on their backs, groaning.

Metins ran and stopped, and then a crimson and purple armored figure walked with them.

[Gokaiger 3. 3:43-3:45]

The creature held one hand out, “Revenge time, Rangers,†it hissed, throwing its arm up.

[End Sentai footage]

“Revenge? For destroying your ships?†Gia called.

[Gokaiger 3. 3:51-3:53]

“Of course,†it hissed, drawing its arms in, “Prepare…â€

[End Sentai footage]

“Let’s use Legacy Mode,†Gia said. She thrust her hand out, taking Saba as the others nodded, doing the same. In a flash of gold they stood in their new armors.

[Gokaiger 3. 3:59]

The creature tilted its head in slight confusion.

[End Sentai footage]

Noah flipped his firearm into hand and fired a few times.

[Gokaiger 3. 4:11-4:12 (note: edit in lasers)]

The creature looked as Metins were shot down.

[End Sentai footage]

The Rangers shouted and ran forward as Noah holstered his weapon on his hip.

[Gokaiger 3. 4:13-4:16]

The creature threw its arm up, “Attack!†it hissed. Metins ran forward and the creature walked after them.

[End Sentai footage]

The Rangers used their weapons to slash through the Metins with some ease, while the creature just kept walking towards them. Noah caught the axes of two Metins and pushed them back before spinning and slashing them in the chest. Emma leapt off his back and slashed through a Metin as she landed. She span and slashed at a Krave.

Jake swung his Power Staff low to sweep one’s legs out, and then caught an axe against the staff. He pushed back and kicked it before spinning around and driving his weapon into the downed Metin’s chest.

Gia span around and continued to slash at the Metins around her before stopping and pointing Saba at the monster, “Come on!†she shouted. She ducked a Krave’s slash and slashed it twice quickly to drop it.

“Magmamander,†the monster hissed, lifting its claw, “I want you to know the name of the warrior who destroys you.â€

“I’m pretty sure we’ve heard that one before,†Gia said.

The monster swung its claw, but she caught it on Saba. The mechanical tentacle-like object hanging down his back snuck around, slashing Gia in the back. She shouted, lowered Saba, and then took a slash to the chest, throwing her to the ground.

“Gia!†Jake shouted, running in her direction. He shouted and leapt over her, coming down at Magmamander (Zeo Gold), slashing, but he caught it on his claw. The two struggled for a while, turning (Magmamander’s back to the camera, hiding Jake. When he comes back out the other side, Mega Black). Jake was pushed back s they finished rotating and struck to the ground as well.

Noah ran towards them and slid to a stop, lifting the blue Quasar Launcher (LG Blue). He shouted and fired, but the explosion did little to stop Magmamander as he walked through it. “No way!†Noah shouted as he lowered the weapon (Mega Blue) and swapped it out for the Lion Hammer.

He shouted and ran forward (NS Yellow), swinging up, but Magmamander caught it on his claw. Magnamanger shouted and kicked Noah back, landing him on the ground by the others.

Emma ran for Magmamander and swapped weapons for the Spiral Saber. She leapt (Space Red-female version) and slashed, but the monster caught it on his claw. He pushed her back and a shot from the mechanical tentacle sent her down.

“And now it’s over,†he hissed.


“Anyone can run in and get themselves destroyed and call it courage. They can think they’re being noble and doing the right thing, but it’s not necessarily right,†Daggeron said.

“And what is right, then?†Troy questioned.

“Fear can still be found in courage,†Daggeron said, pointing out towards the city, “Out there there are Metins subjugating the people. They can be afraid, and should be. But among them, if someone tries to protect their family and fight off the Metins, they don’t need to be fearless. Sometimes fear is what you need. Fear tells you if you’re doing something smart or stupid.

“Of course it’s stupid to fight without a weapon, to fight greater numbers. But for a man to protect his family, to try to give them a chance, there’s courage in that. He may be destroyed in the process, but he goes in knowing that, and knowing that his family is worth more.

“You go out there with only one goal. Save everyone, no matter what it does to you. You’re not going out there thinking about yourself, you’re thinking about everyone else. But what happens if you’re lost? The team suffers, the people suffer. You don’t think about that.

“It can happen either way, but think about it. The man who gives himself for his family is going to do everything he can to make it back to them. He’s not just thinking about their escape, and then nothing more. You have to go out there and think about the future. What happens if you’re lost? What happens if you can keep fighting? You have to keep fighting, and keep it in mind. Take it to heart, and remember that you’re not just fighting to save a few families, and then you can be destroyed. You have to keep fighting, and can never be stopped. Not until it’s over.

“Remember that. Rest. You may hurt them now, but you’ll save them later. If you try to save them all at once, you’ll be destroyed, and they’ll never be saved. Remember that.â€

Itassis walked towards Troy, holding out something for him. “A ring?†he asked (note: if possible get prop from Magiranger, or replica, just for mythology joke).

She nodded, “Wear it, and trust me.â€

He took it and looked at it, and then slid it onto his finger.

“Your friends need you,†Daggeron said, holding his hand out, “Go.â€

Troy was gone.


[Gokaiger 3. 16:56-16:58]

Magmamander span around, his tentacle whipping out, coming up, and then driving straight into the ground.

[End Sentai footage]

The four Rangers were engulfed by an explosion. All of them shouted and were thrown clear, Legacy Mode fading, leaving them lying on the hard ground in normal Morphed form.

Troy teleported in front of them and turned to see them, “Everyone!†he called, crouching down by them, “Are you guys ok?â€

[Gokaiger 3. 17:04-17:06]

“There’s five!†Magmamander shouted, throwing his claw forward and unleashing a blast of fire.

[End Sentai footage]

Troy span around and drew his Morpher out, “Mega Morph!†he called. The flames struck at his Morpher, but peeled around him as he transformed.

Magmamander shouted and whipped his tentacle out.

Troy loaded a card and thrust his Morpher forward, “Twist Tornado!†he shouted. Wind erupted forward.

[Gokaiger 3. 18:14-18:15]

The next thing Magmamander knew, his tentacle was wrapped around his body and he was struggling to break free. He shouted in annoyance.

[End Sentai footage]

“Everyone, are you ok?†Troy asked.

“We’ll be fine now,†Gia said.

“Are you ok, though?†Noah asked, “We couldn’t reach you.â€

“I’ll explain later,†he said. “When did you try to reach me?â€

“This morning.â€

“I was fighting alone,†he said, “Explain later.â€

The Rangers nodded. Noah slotted a card, “Press Shower!â€

[Gokaiger 3. 18:27-18:29]

Blasts of water tore at the ground before erupting underneath Magmamander. He shouted as the water struck.

[End Sentai footage]

“Twist Tornado!†Emma called as she slotted a card.

[Gokaiger 3. 18:35-18:36]

A pink tornado overtook Magmamander, and he shouted in pain.

[End Sentai footage]

“Rope Plant!†Gia and Jake shouted as they slotted together.

[Gokaiger 3. 18:39-18:41]

Vines erupted forward, slamming into Magmamander repeatedly.

[End Sentai footage]

Magmamander landed on the ground, groaning as he was untangled. He sat up and looked as the Rangers approached. Troy looked at his hand and thrust it up, “Let’s see what this does!†he said.

The ring shone through his glove, and then images appeared in front of each of them. They were the Magi Staffs.

“These are the weapons of the Mystic Force Rangers,†Noah said as he took the blue one into hand.

Troy nodded, “I met one of them,†he said as he took the red one, switching it to sword mode.

“Well, let’s use them then,†Gia said as she switched to crossbow mode.

The five Rangers ran forward, shouting (flash into Mystic Rangers as they run, then stay during the entire fight, unless otherwise noted).

Red leapt forward, slashing Magmamander across the chest. He shouted and swung his claw, but Blue’s staff caught the claw. Noah pushed up and gave Jake an opening with his axe staff, followed by Emma with a staff strike, and finally Gia with a crossbow blast at pointblank.

Magmamander stumbled back. Noah shouted and leapt forward, slashing him down the chest with the staff mode. He span around and slashed at one of the monster’s legs, stumbling him around.

The four Mega Rangers came together, holding the staffs of the Mystic Force Rangers.

Magmamander looked to see Troy coming down, shouting. He slashed Magmamander down the chest. Magmamander shouted and fell backwards as Troy remained crouched there, sword down from the slash (back to Mega Red).

The five Rangers came together and Troy looked at the weapon in his hand, “Thank you Itassis.â€

[Gokaiger 3. 19:38-19:52]

Hexatrix pulled the trigger of her gun-like attachment.

The cannons emerged from the flagship and fired down to the Earth with their violet beams. Magmamander and three Kraves that had been felled earlier in battle were struck. They all grew to massive size (note: cut out Gokaigers in foreground. Already noted in previous chapter about how the footage should be and how this is possible).

[End Sentai footage]

“Alright, let’s summon the Megazord,†Troy said.

“The Skyship is damaged,†Noah said, “We took it to space, surprised the fleet, and then one of them followed us and took us down.â€

“So we can’t use it?†Troy questioned, “Then what do we do?†he muttered.

There was a blinding flash of red from his glove. Everyone looked at it, “Troy, what is that?†Emma asked.

“I think it’s our hope,†he said, holding his hand high.

A flash of red erupted out, looking vaguely like a winged creature of some sort. It let out a roar and flew away, and then flashed in the sky.

[Gokaiger 5. 0:04-0:06]

The Skyship Zord flew through the air, repaired.

[End Sentai footage]

“How did that happen?†Jake questioned.

“Courage,†Troy said.

“That doesn’t make sense,†Noah said.

“Nevermind,†Troy said, “Let’s go!â€

[Gokaiger 3. 20:24-20:39]

The Pirate Megazord stood complete and faced off with Magmamander and the three Kraves. Magmamander shifted around, just growling.

“Kraves, attack!†he shouted, turning and getting behind them.

The three Kraves lifted their arms and turned into spacecraft which flew down and bombarded the Megazord.

[End Sentai footage]

The Rangers were shaken inside as they grabbed their control panels.

“They can do that?†Jake shouted.

“They are biomechanical,†Noah said, “I guess they can…â€

“Don’t lose faith,†Troy said, “We push forward!â€

[Gokaiger 3. 20:41-20:42 (ish…)]

They flew down again and fired.

[Gokaiger 3. 20:44-20:45]

Explosions struck around the Megazord as it tried to hold its ground.

[End Sentai footage]

The ring under Troy’s glove began to glow again, and the same screech was heard.

[Gokaiger 3. 20:49-20:53]

Light erupted from the Megazord, circling out around it.

“What is that?†Magmamander shouted.

The Megazord drew up its blades.

[End Sentai footage]

“Sheath the blades,†Troy said, “Something’s happening.â€

[Gokaiger 3. 21:02-21:07]

The Megazord lowered its arms and began to glow.

[Gokaiger 3. 21:15-21:37]

The port on the back of the Megazord span, and then the arms opened, revealing wings with the pirate emblem imprinted upon them. The shins opened and claws came out over the feet. The chest then opened and a dragon head emerged, moving and roaring.

The Megazord stepped forward with its new dragon designs, “This is the power of the Mystic Force Rangers!†Troy shouted out at Magmamander.

“Mystic Pirate Megazord!†everyone shouted.

Magmamander approached and threw his arm out, “Krave ships, don’t stop. Attack!†he threw his arm forward, sending the ships out.

The dragon roared and the Megazord took off, flying after the Kraves.

[End Sentai footage]

“What is this dragon?†Gia questioned.

“How did it come from the Megazord?†Noah questioned, checking his screen.

“I think I know,†Troy said quietly.

[Gokaiger 3. 21:39-21:42]

They flew after the Kraves, but the ships moved.

[Gokaiger 3. 21:42-21:47]

The ships kept firing. The dragon let loose flames from its mouth, destroying one ship.

[Gokaiger 3. 21:49-21:57]

The Megazord flew forward, and then the dragon flashed and became its own beast, flying out as the Megazord fell. Its wing cleaved through one Krave, and then flames took out the other. It circled and flew back towards the Megazord.

[Gokaiger 3. 21:59-22:04]

The dragon entered the Megazord again, slowed the descent, and then closed up inside again as they landed.

[End Sentai footage]

“Let’s finish this!†Troy shouted, hitting his screen, “Magical Source!â€

[Gokaiger 3. 22:07-22:28]

The gear on the back of the Megazord span again and the dragon emerged. It flew forward and circled the monster, who shouted as rings of magic circled around him, binding him and crushing him.

The dragon returned to the Megazord, and as Magmamander fell, the Megazord turned, with the dragon sticking out from it.

“Magical Source, Mystic Force!†they shouted as the monster fell.

[End Sentai foot“Good job, Fireheart,†Daggeron said as he and Itassis looked in the distance at the Megazord (note: use still image of Megazord, crop it, put buildings in the way, etc. to create this view, or something).

“Fireheart really took after the Dragon Mode,†Itassis said.

Daggeron nodded, “I’m sure he’s in good hands with those Rangers,†he said, “They need all the help they can get, after all.â€

Itassis nodded and followed after Daggeron.


Troy looked at his hand, but the ring was gone. “The weapons are here,†Noah confirmed in the command center, holding up the red Magi Staff.

“Good,†Jake said, “More is always better.â€

“And now we have a new helper Zord,†Emma said, “I’m sure the fights will be a bit easier now.â€

Troy nodded, “Yeah…let’s hope so.†He activated his console as the others teleported out. He waited a few moments, “Phantom Ranger?â€

Nothing.

He hung his head and turned off the console before teleporting out.

Chapter 5: Megazord: Emergency Formation

[Gokaiger 2. 6:10-6:14]

Zoom in on flagship.

[End Sentai footage]

A figure walked onto the bridge, crimson with yellow and green on his body, claws emerging from his wrists, carrying a large hammer on his shoulder (“Dyrandohâ€, from the late Gokaiger episodes). He slung his hammer down and shoved it against the wall, coming into a bow, “Prince Vekar, I have returned.â€

Vekar rose from his chair and walked back towards the figure, “Hamerne! I take it your mission was successful?†he asked.

“I have crushed the KO-35 uprising,†he responded, “They fell back in line. I am here to act as your bodyguard once more.â€

“Excellent,†Vekar said.

“My Prince, I have been keeping up with reports. I understand that your brother has returned.â€

“He has,†Vekar said bitterly.

Hamerne looked around, “Where is Prince Vrak now?â€

“Honestly? I don’t know,†Vekar said, “And that worries me…â€


Vrak walked through the cleared hallways, a troop of Metins at his back. People had been in the way, but they had fled. Of course, he couldn’t have that.

Another person started to run, so he threw his hand forward.

“Rope Plant,†he said. His arm began to glow a little as the machinery inside of him activated, replicating the card. Vines shot forward from his hand, ensnaring the man and dropping him to the ground. “Deal with him,†he told the Metins as he kept walking. He found the door he sought and tried it, but it was locked. He twisted the knob harder, breaking it open, and then he stepped inside.

As soon as he stepped foot on the other side, he was in his human disguise, wearing a suit. He straightened the tie and walked over to the desk that the cameras were pointed at. He sat down and cleared his throat as the Metins went to the equipment, and then he nodded.


Noah span his bowgun around to catch two axes and then pushed off. He gave a swift kick to the leg of one Metin, and then up into the thigh, and then to the side of the torso to take it down, carrying the kick through to the second Metin, taking it down. He finished his rotation and fired twice into the oncoming Krave, taking it down.

He came to his full height and lowered the weapon as the others came running his way.

“This area is clear,†Noah said.

“I think we’ve all finished then,†Emma said, “Should we move on?â€

“Yeah, let’s keep going,†Troy said, leading them out of the destroyed area and towards some of the more normal looking city. They saw some people being harassed by some Metins, so they rushed forward. Noah stopped and shot, bending his arrows to take down the machines without harming the people.

“Keep going, hide somewhere safe,†Troy said.

“Safe?†one of the two men questioned, “What do you call ‘safe’?†he demanded, “Our city was attacked! Part of it is in ruins!â€

“Just…just find somewhere that looks like you can hide.â€

“Yeah, great advice,†he muttered.

Up ahead a monitor came to life, mounted on the side of a building. “This is an official broadcast from the headquarters of SPD. To all citizens who are still fleeing and trying to find where to hide, we are opening one of our facilities. You will be safe there. We will protect you. I swear that to you. But hurry. Get here before nightfall. I ask a lot, considering the time, but please, hurry!â€

“Let’s go there,†the other man said once an address came up. The first man nodded.

“That man…,†Emma said, “That’s Vrak!â€

“What?†Noah questioned. “Are you sure?â€

She nodded, “That’s the form he used when…when he tried to make me marry him.â€

“Wait!†Troy shouted after the men, “It’s a trap! Don’t go!â€

“They can offer better safety than you can!†the first man shouted as the two kept going.

“What are we going to do?†Jake asked, “A lot of people are probably going to be going there.â€

“If we go and try to stop them, we might be seen as the bad guys in this situation,†Gia said.

“Yeah…,†Noah muttered. “I’ll go. I’ll go and look around. Maybe I can stop them from the inside.â€

“I’m going too,†Jake said, “I won’t let you go alone.â€

“No,†Noah said, “Only one Ranger. We need to be out here as much as we can on the streets, after all.â€

“But the danger is with Vrak inside that shelter,†Jake said, “You’re not going alone.â€

“I am,†Noah said, “I can take care of myself, and I might be able to make the place safe for everyone. Don’t worry, if I need help I’ll call.â€

“Let him go,†Troy told Jake, “He’ll be fine, and we can always lock onto his Morpher and teleport in if we have to.â€

Noah nodded, “Exactly.†He undid his Morph and turned, “I’ll see you guys later,†he said, hurrying.

“And what do we do?†Jake questioned.

“We keep fighting, I imagine,†Emma said.

Troy nodded, “That’s right. Let’s go.â€


Noah looked around as he moved in with a large crowd of people, entering into a large building. It was undamaged, so that was lucky for SPD. Assuming this was indeed one of their buildings.

He followed the crowd as people in dark uniforms and hats directed them. Noah looked at one of them as they passed, but they were completely obscured. He wouldn’t have been surprised if they had been Metins in uniforms.

“Please,†a man said, stepping out in a suit, “make yourselves comfortable here.†Noah saw him and recognized him as the man from the monitor. It was Vrak.

People went to cots and couches and just around. Noah stuck close to a group, making sure that Vrak wouldn’t see him. He kept an eye on the man, and then realized that this was the same man whom had fought Stingers at the school.

“So, that was you,†he muttered as he broke off from the group and went to a side door. He turned the knob and entered the room, closing the door softly behind him. He turned around and looked, but there wasn’t much. There was an air vent that looked big enough for him to climb through, so he started to get things to stand on.


The Rangers cut down another set of Metins, but the people barely acknowledged them and just started to run in the direction of the shelter.

“Wait!†Emma called, but they didn’t listen.

“They’ve been promised safety,†Gia said, “They’re not going to listen to us. They’re just going to head for it as fast as they can. I’d probably be doing the same if I was one of them.â€

“It’s not right,†Emma said.

“They’re scared. But the fact that they won’t listen? Yeah, that’s a bit off,†Gia said.

“But they probably want to believe there is safety,†Troy said.

“Right. Us ruining it by telling them there’s a monster there trying to trap them? That’s not a good thing.â€

The Rangers started to move again, and then something happened. Their suits began to pulsate, and then they faded.

“What just happened?†Jake questioned all of them, turning over his hands and arms, looking at his human body.

“I happened,†Hexatrix said behind them, walking towards them with the datapad in her hand.

“Hexatrix!†Troy shouted.

She lowered the pad and looked up at the Rangers, “Only four of you? Oh well. And no, I didn’t find a way to completely disable your Morph ability. What did I find? I found a way to trace it.â€

“Trace it?†Gia questioned, “So now you know where we are when we Morph?â€

“Yes,†she said, “And I can follow your signals. The first use had enough power to knock you out of your Morphs, but that’s only the first time. I hope you have fun trying to protect this city while all of the soldiers bear down upon you.â€

And then she teleported away.

“What do we do?†Jake questioned.

“We go without,†Troy said, “For now. Noah can try to find a way to help us, but for now we’re going to keep fighting. We’ll just have to be more cautious.â€

“Right,†they agreed and ran off.


Noah pushed himself through the air vent and stopped. He looked through the grate, and then pushed it open and dropped to the ground.

A woman in a labcoat turned suddenly and grabbed at something, but Noah put his hands up, “I’m not one of them!†he said, “I’m a human! I’m a good guy!â€

The woman lowered the wrench and walked towards him, and then Noah noticed something different. She wasn’t human. She had the ears of a cat, and her face was a bit different as well.

“I’m getting the obvious one out of the way first,†she said, “I’m an alien. And now, who are you and why are you here?â€

“I’m a Power Ranger,†he said, “Megaforce Blue. There was a message that played through town, telling people to come here so they could be safe, and, well, we know it’s a trap.â€

She nodded, “It is. The problem is that security here was overwhelmed and couldn’t stop them from letting out a message. And people are eager for any sort of safe haven.â€

“We tried to warn people, but they wouldn’t listen,†Noah said.

The woman turned to him, “They haven’t found this place yet, so we’re safe down here.†She looked up, “We have to hope it stays that way.â€

“Why? What’s down here?†Noah asked.

“Machinery,†the woman responded, “Or rather, Zords. Or…a Zord, so far. Only one is functional as of now.â€

Noah walked over and looked at the blueprints on the table. It was for some sort of car-like Zord.

“It’s nearly finished,†she said, “The first Zord for SPD’s Earth branch.â€

Noah looked at her, “My name is Noah. Noah Carver.â€

“Kat Manx,†she said, “Doctor Kat Manx.†She moved away and crossed her arms, “Were you present at the war?†she asked.

“The war? You mean the one where all of the Rangers united?â€

“That war, yes,†Kat said.

“No. We gained our powers after that,†he told her.

“A shame,†she said, “I was wondering about something.â€

“What was it? I might be able to answer that.â€

She turned to him, “I want to know how SPD Rangers were fighting, when we haven’t even finished the suits yet.†She walked over to a cabined and pulled out some designs, putting them down on the table, “And at that, it was the secondary suits, not the primary designs,†she pointed to more heavily armored Rangers with helmets that looked similar to the Space Rangers, “Out of all of SPD, we only have had one functional suit. Ever. That was a suit loaned to us by the Silver Guardians, and then replicated by us and returned to its original owner. He was defeated in battle, and the suit was lost.â€

(flashback frame, show SPD footage of Sky’s father, and then of Mirloc in his prison cell) “Fortunately the monster responsible was apprehended.â€

“And now you’re trying to create more,†Noah said.

She nodded, “SPD’s goal is to have teams of Rangers on different planets, acting as a police force. We hope to use our technology to protect more people than a single team could normally protect, and to offer aid anywhere we can.â€

“Um…please tell me that you guys don’t have any weapons or anything developed yet…â€

“We do,†Kat said.

“Ok, please tell me you have them secured.â€

She shook her head grimly.


[Gokaiger 5. 6:27-6:35]

A hand pulled back a tarp, revealing a console. The alien stood with a troop of Metins and looked down at it, “Yes, this is perfect,†he said, reaching down and pressing a button. Ahead of them a series of missiles appeared, bearing the crest of the Vago Empire on the side of the launcher.

[Gokaiger 5. 6:37-6:40]

“Prince Vrak,†the figure said, “The missiles are converted.â€

[Gokaiger 5. 6:44-6:49]

He hit a key, setting a timer, and then the missiles began to go underground on a lift.

[End Sentai footage]

Vrak stood in a hallway in his human form, flanked by three disguised Metins. He held a dark colored phone in his hand (repainted Gokaiger Morpher, or just use the Basco variant, whatever), “Good. Remain at your position and protect it, just in case the Rangers come. Do not fail me, Vasc.â€

[Gokaiger 5. 7:06-7:10]

“Don’t worry. It won’t be long until they launch, my Prince.â€

[End Sentai footage]

“Time still means time to stop it. Remember that,†Vrak growled as he closed the phone and walked on.


The Rangers encountered a group of Metins and ran into battle in human forms. Troy ducked one’s swing and elbowed it in the chest, and then up in the chin. He grabbed the axe and flipped the Metin over his shoulder, and then ducked the swing of another.

Emma kicked one high, and then turned and kicked another one high. She rolled away and span around, sweeping one’s legs out from under it before spinning and kicking the other one back.

Jake ducked a swing and came up, striking it in the chest. It swung again, but he caught the axe and drew it forward, ramming the Metin’s face into his elbow, dropping it.

Gia hooked an axe under her arm and yanked the Metin forward. She grabbed it by the other shoulder and turned, throwing it into a second Metin. She moved forward and slammed her foot into the first one, taking them both down.

“This is an SPD warehouse,†Troy said as they regrouped, “It’s worth checking out.â€

They nodded and hurried inside, pulling the doors open.

[Gokaiger 5. 7:30 (note: edit in laser bullets. Will not keep mentioning this. Any time this monster fires shots, this note applies)]

“What?†Vasc shouted, turning and lifting two firearms, firing off.

[End Sentai footage]

The Rangers shouted and moved to cover. They crouched behind some heavy crates and panted.

“I think we have to Morph now,†Jake said.

“I’d think you’re right,†Troy said, pulling up his Morpher.

“We should hurry, though,†Gia said, “We don’t want more Metins and Kraves bearing down on us while we deal with this guy.â€

They nodded and came out of hiding, Morphed.

[Gokaiger 5. 7:53-7:54]

Vasc stood there with a troop of Metins at his side, “Go!†The Metins raced forward for the Rangers.

[End Sentai footage]


“Missiles?†Noah questioned.

“They were outfitted to be for relief,†Kat told him, “Carry in supplies, or be outfitted with water or something like that and be launched into fires. They weren’t offensive!â€

“And why should I believe that?â€

“Because the offensive missiles are located off-planet,†she said, “Our branch is still developing. We don’t have proper destructive missiles here.â€

“But you said you have weapons?â€

“We do. Blaster pistols. Prototypes of what the standard sidearm will be.â€

“Ok, that’s not too bad then,†Noah said, “Some good news, finally.â€

There was a loud banging sound, causing both of them to turn.

“What was that?†Noah questioned.

“The door is being forced open,†Kat told him.

Noah nodded and drew his Morpher out, “I’ll protect you.â€

There was another bang, and then they heard it crashing open. A series of disguised Metins came down the stairs, lifting their SPD blasters (note: the blasters from the actual season, or the props from Dekaranger, since they were used as recently as Gokaiger. If the SPD props no longer exist, then Dekaranger) at the two of them.

And then came Vrak in his human disguise.

“Stand down, Doctor Manx,†Vrak said, “Just give us what you have hidden down here, and we’ll let both of you go peacefully.â€

“Not happening,†Noah said, “Not while I’m here.â€

“And do you think you alone can beat me?†Vrak questioned.

“I don’t know, but I can hold you off!†he said, “Mega Morph!â€

He transformed and lifted his bowgun in both hands, aiming it at Vrak and the Metins.

“Get him,†Vrak said.

The Metins ran forward, throwing off their disguises. Some had axes while a few stayed back with their new blasters.

Noah fired twice, bending his shots for the blaster wielders while he flipped his bowgun around and caught an axe on it. He kicked that Metin back and span around, sweeping another’s legs out. He caught another axe on his weapon and threw both weapons into the air. He caught the punch the Metin threw and twisted its arm as he drew it in, kneeing it and throwing it back. He leapt forward with a kick to take it down.

Noah drew his sidearm as the weapons fell behind him. He fired at the blaster Metin that was getting back up, taking it down.

“Impressive,†Vrak said. He threw his arm to the side and snapped his fingers, suddenly appearing in his prince form, “But I’m on a far different level.â€


Troy slashed down the last Metin and turned around as more were coming in from behind, “Guys, we have to retreat!â€

“But what about him?†Jake shouted, pointing at Vasc.

“Ignore him!†Troy shouted. He kicked one Metin out of the way and ran out. The others ran after him.

[Gokaiger 5. 8:43-8:45]

“They fled?†Vasc questioned as Metins stood at his side, “Heh.â€

[End Sentai footage]

“What was that about?†Gia questioned as they all undid their Morphs and kept running.

“We can’t win like this,†Troy said, “But we can’t win in our human forms either. We need to be smart.â€

The ground shook.

“I think what we have to do is go back and stop him!†Jake said, “I’m betting these are connected!â€

“We have to take a smart approach,†Troy told him.

“I’ll show you a smart approach,†Jake said, “Trust me.â€


Vrak swung a golden sword for Noah, who ducked back and rolled. Vrak leapt forward and kicked Noah back, sending him skidding towards Kat.

“Are you ok?†she questioned, crouching.

“I’m fine,†Noah said as he picked himself up, “Just stay back, please.â€

Vrak walked towards them as Noah thrust his hand out, taking grip of his sword as Cam’s armor appeared on his body, “Legacy Mode!â€

“That won’t work,†Vrak said, running for him. The two clashed (NS Green) and locked blades for a few moments, and then Vrak turned and kicked Noah away from Kat, landing him on his back (Mega Blue).

Vrak walked towards Kat and lifted his sword.

“Ice Stop!â€

Vrak froze, but only for a moment as the ice shattered. He turned to look at Noah, who was leaping for him with the Delta Enforcer in his hands, firing.

Vrak lifted his arm as the blasts struck the ground around him and forced him to move. Noah landed (SWAT Blue) and turned to Vrak, who lifted his sword.

“I have you beat,†Noah said.

“You’d think,†Vrak said.

The two remained at a standstill.


[Gokaiger 5. 15:21-15:29]

The timer continued to count down until it hit zero.

Vasc threw his arms out, “It’s time!†he announced, “With this launch, the world will be yours, my Prince!â€

“Wait!â€

They turned.

[End Sentai footage]

Troy, Gia and Emma stood there, armed with the Chrono Blaster, Satellite Stunner and yellow Magi Staff, respectively. They aimed their firearms at the monster and his Metins.

[Gokaiger 5. 15:54-15:55]

“Go,†Vasc said as the Metins raced forward.

[End Sentai footage]

The Rangers fired, taking down the Metins before they could get close.

Jake crept out of his hiding spot on the other side of the warehouse where he had snuck in. He ran for the controls.

[Gokaiger 5. 16:14-16:15]

Vasc lifted his weapons and shouted as he ran for the three.

[End Sentai footage]

The Rangers rolled away as Vasc came for them and got behind barricades as he fired.

“We should Morph!†Gia called.

“Not yet!†Troy answered.

As Vasc came around the corner, Troy lifted and fired.

[Gokaiger 5. 16:20-16:23]

Vasc was struck repeatedly and blasted outside.

[End Sentai footage]

Jake started hitting the controls, and then there was a beep.

[Gokaiger 5. 16:30-16:34]

The missiles stopped on their descent.

Outside, Vasc looked up, “Curse you…â€

[End Sentai footage]


Vrak swung for Noah, who rolled to the side. He lifted the Enforcer and shouted, firing on Vrak’s back, but Vrak was gone.

He appeared in a storm of feathers at the top of the stairs, “I have other things to attend to,†he hissed, hurrying out.

Noah came up and lowered the weapon as Kat ran over, “Did you feel that shake? The missile platform was stopped. Whatever his plan was, someone stopped it.â€

“It was the others,†Noah said. He looked to Kat, “I have to go.â€

“Hold on,†she said, hurrying over to a large briefcase. She walked over and set it down on the desk, opening it, “These came in from off-world the other day. They’re going through research and testing right now, but take them. I saw the other SPD Rangers using them during the war, and…well, obviously they’re meant to be used in the future. So take these and use them now. Make way for the future with them.â€

He looked at the different blasters inside and nodded, “I’ll deliver them to the others, and we’ll protect this place.â€

Kat nodded as he took the briefcase and ran off.


“It’s time to Morph!†Troy called as Vasc lifted his weapons and fired.

The four of them Morphed as the blasts went wide and they ran forward in Legacy Mode.

“Blades?†Vasc shouted, “Fine then!†He fired as he ran towards them.

As they met, Troy slashed, but Vasc ducked and fired into his chest, blasting him back. Vasc span around and caught Jake’s staff. He rammed the gun into Jake’s chest and shot him back before kicking Gia back and shooting her, and then ducking Emma’s slash and shooting her as well.

“Blasters in close quarters can be dangerous,†Vasc laughed, “It’s an easy target. Well, no. It is for someone of my skill level. You can’t beat me in close range, and if you switch to a range, I’ll just shoot you from a range!â€

“We’ll beat you,†Troy said.

“Oh really?†Vasc questioned. “You know, a troop of Metins and Kraves are on their way to eliminate you. Can you defend yourselves from them, and from my shots at the same time? Or will you fall?â€

“We’ll stop you,†Troy said.

“No, you won’t. And soon, I’ll launch Prince Vrak’s drill missiles again. Those missiles will dig through the Earth and disturb the tectonic plates. Earthquakes will hit all over the place, causing widespread destruction and chaos. And then we’ll use the slaves to find what we need.â€

“Slaves?†Emma questioned.

“The people that Prince Vrak tricked into coming to him for ‘protection’,†Vasc laughed, “We’ve won, Rangers. You can’t beat us. You’ve won fights in the past, but this one isn’t going your way.â€

“We won’t let you enslave these people,†Jake said as he pushed himself up on his staff.

“Oh?†Vasc questioned. He turned and shot Jake twice, knocking him down with a shout of pain. “You can’t even stand up! How can you stop us from enslaving these people?â€

Noah ran around the corner and lifted his Shark Bowgun, “Because now we’re a team, and fully assembled!†he called.

“Oh?†Vasc questioned, “And what will one more do?â€

As he got close to Troy, his suit flickered, fading for a moment, and then it returned.

“What was that?†Noah questioned.

“Oh no…,†Troy muttered, “What Hexatrix did…it must have been a virus! Noah, I’ll explain later!â€

Vasc pointed at Noah with a gun, “You know, I have to respect your weapon choice. A bowgun? A little old-school, but I have to respect it.â€

“Respect this then!†Noah shouted, firing four shots. The first two went straight, which Vasc shot with his own blasters. The other two were nowhere to be seen.

They looped around and slammed into Vasc from behind, sending him stumbling forward. However, he shot right away, blasting Noah to the ground.

“Nice trick,†Vasc growled.

“I have more,†Noah said as he lowered his bowgun, “Everyone, hold out your hands!â€

They regrouped alongside Noah and did as asked. Delamax Strikers appeared in each of their hands, except Troy, who got the Delta Enforcer.

Noah held one of the Strikers and looked at Troy, “Only four, but I figured you’d want that.â€

“What are these?†Emma asked.

“SPD weapons,†Noah said, “A gift,†he lifted his weapon, “Now, let’s finish him!â€

Vasc lifted his pistols, “Finish me? Ha!â€

He started to fire, but Emma, Jake and Gia fired back, stopping his shots with their. Noah kept aiming while Troy moved forward, firing (all in SPD form, with Troy as SWAT Red instead).

The shots forced Vasc back and kept him from aiming, “Rapid fire? That’s not fair!â€

“Everything is fair,†Noah said, taking aim. He fired once.

The blast struck one of the blasters from Vasc’s hand. He looked down at it, and then took a flurry from the entire team right to the chest, crying out as they overwhelmed him with their firepower.

And then he fell to the ground and the team lowered their weapons (Mega Rangers).

[Gokaiger 5. 18:55-19:00]

Hexatrix lifted and took aim. The flagship opened its cannons and fired.

Vasc shouted as he enlarged over the warehouse.

[Gokaiger 5. 19:02-19:08]

“Now my firepower is vastly improved! I must thank you for that, Rangers!†He thrust his hand through the warehouse and drew out one of the drill missiles, “Mine now.â€

[End Sentai footage]

“No way…,†Jake said.

Noah lifted his Morpher and slotted a card, “Megazord time.â€

[Gokaiger 5. 19:12-19:27]

The Skyship had the other Zords emerge from within, and then they combined into the Pirate Megazord.

[Gokaiger 5. 19:29-19:34]

“What?†Vasc questioned, looking up as the Megazord came down at him. The right arm reached out, grabbing the arm that held the missile.

[Gokaiger 5. 19:38-19:41]

The other sword slashed through Vasc’s chest, knocking him to the ground with a shout.

[Gokaiger 5. 19:42-19:48 (note: edit globe scene to show North America, not Japan)]

They turned and threw the missile, sending it out into space and right through a series of enemy ships on the way to the flagship.

[End Sentai footage]

Their panels began to flicker, so they looked down to see Kat’s face.

“Doctor Manx,†Noah said.

“Noah,†she said, “I’m glad that the Strikers worked for you. I’m not done yet though. Here’s another present from me. It’s also test material, I guess.â€

“We’ll take it,†he said.

She nodded, “I figured you’d say that. I’ve sent the data your way, do your thing.â€

He nodded and worked on his screen, typing quickly, “Got it. Let’s do it!â€

[Gokaiger 5. 20:14-20:24]

The back panel of the Megazord began to spin, and then the arms opened, revealing revolving blasters. Then the legs, revealing the same. The chest opened to reveal a siren and the top of the car, with the pirate logo imprinted upon it.

“SPD, Emergency!†Noah called, “SPD Pirate Megazord!â€

Vasc came to his feet, “What?â€

[End Sentai footage]

“Let’s try this,†Noah said, hitting something.

[Gokaiger 5. 20:26-20:29]

The Zord shot out of the Pirate Megazord, driving down the street for Vasc.

[Gokaiger 5. 20:34-20:51]

“What is that?†Vasc shouted as he fired on it. When the Zord reached Vasc, it kept driving around him, evading his shots and it crashed into him once. It drove back away from him as he continued to shout and fire after it.

The Zord drove up a building, which Vasc fired at. The Zord launched into the air and then came down, firing energy bursts from its headlights, blasting Vasc to the ground, causing him to shout as he fell.

[End Sentai footage]

“That thing’s got some nice firepower,†Jake said.

“Imagine it when we combine again,†Gia told him.

[Gokaiger 5. 20:52-21:02]

The Zord fell and split apart, returning to the Pirate Megazord and equipping it with twin blasters, which the Megazord span around its hands. As a tradeoff, the arms and legs were sealed.

The Megazord thrust both blasters out.

Vasc ran and fired on them.

[End Sentai footage]

“Alright, let’s do this,†Noah said, taking command.

[Gokaiger 5. 21:03-21:09]

The Megazord span and ran, avoiding shots and returning them. Vasc ducked and dodged as well and fired back.

[Gokaiger 5. 21:11-21:16]

Their duel continued.

[Gokaiger 5. 21:19-21:22]

The Megazord leapt, firing as it dove, but it kept missing.

[Gokaiger 5. 21:23-21:35]

The Megazord rolled and came back to its feet, and then leapt into the air. Vasc shouted and broke a chunk of building off, sending it flying at the Rangers. The Megazord blasted through it and kept firing as it descended.

[End Sentai footage]

“Here’s the finisher!†Noah shouted.

[Gokaiger 5. 21:37-21:43]

Vasc shouted as he stumbled around. The Megazord landed and span its guns before putting them away and closing its chest.

[Gokaiger 5. 21:45-22:06]

The back panel span and the ports on the Megazord opened. “Emergency Strikeout!†the team shouted as the ports all opened fire, bombarding Vasc with blasts. He cried out as he was continually struck, and then groaned as he fell and exploded behind he Megazord, which turned away.

[End Sentai footage]

The Rangers met with Kat in the SPD lab. She shook her head, “The Zord is yours for now, until this fight is over.â€

“Thank you, Doctor Manx,†Noah said.

“Kat,†she said.

“Kat, while we have you, can I ask you a question?†Troy asked.

She nodded, “What is it?â€

“Do you know why they’re attacking Harwood?†he asked, “The war makes no sense, this invasion makes no sense…what’s so special about this city? And why is there an SPD base here?â€

“We built one here in response,†she explained, “As for why…I don’t know,†she said, “I really don’t. I’ve looked into it, but I haven’t found anything.â€

Troy nodded, “Alright then.â€

“What are you guys going to do?†Gia asked.

“We’re going to keep this facility open and arm the guards better. They think they can turn the people seeking shelter into hostages, but I won’t allow it. We won’t allow it. We’ll defend them.â€

“I’m glad to hear that,†Noah said, “And if you ever need us, call us.â€

“I will,†she said.

“Oh, our Morphers…,†Noah said.

Kat shook her head, “I don’t know what she did to them, but I couldn’t find anything out of the ordinary. I don’t know if there is a tracer or not, and if there is, it’s expertly done and far beyond me.â€
hank you,†Noah said.

The five thanked her and headed out of her lab.

“We’re going to have to watch that place,†Noah said, “Vrak might want to try to take it again.â€

“I’m sure he will,†Troy said. He looked at the city, mostly empty right now, “There are still so many Metins out there…â€

“If all of the people are here though, we have the advantage,†Gia said, “They’ll be hitting this place’s defenses and held at bay, and we’ll hit them in the back.â€

Troy nodded. “Let’s go home,†he said. But then he stopped as he heard Vrak’s voice.

“Rangers, wherever you are, I hope you’re watching.â€

They all turned and looked at the closest monitor. They could see Vrak standing there in what looked to be a cave, and then he stepped aside to reveal the Phantom
Ranger in Knight Mode.

“Phantom!†Troy shouted. He looked at the others, and then back to the screen.

“This is one of the Power Rangers, captured by us,†Vrak told anyone watching, “And this is what will happen to the rest of the Rangers. Now!â€

An unassuming looking machine walked into frame and reached out, touching the Phantom Ranger’s head. He screamed as energy passed through his body and into the machine’s body. And when he slumped forward, he was as the Phantom Ranger again, damaged and sparking.

“Rangers, this is your fate,†Vrak said, “A power source, a container,†he gestured to the robot (Goseiger 41), “And then it will all be used against this world that you protect. Goodbye. I hope you enjoyed seeing your friend again.â€

It ended.

Troy clenched his fist as they stood there in the dark night, “He’s in a cave…that’s a start,†Troy said.

That’s all anybody said. Nobody had the heart to say anything more.

Chapter 6: Two New Alliances

(Begin by showing footage of the last five episodes as a quick catch up. Display time stamp: 1 month later)

Troy fell to a knee, and then onto both of his hands, panting. The others weren’t in much better condition as their suits vanished.

“We can’t have them tracking us here,†Troy said as he came to his feet and leaned against the cave wall.

“It feels like we’re more Rangers than we are people now,†Emma said, “The city is still filled with the enemy, and all we’ve done for the last month is fight, and fight, and fight…â€

“We can’t stop though,†Troy told her, “We really can’t. Look out there! People are being oppressed! This city is under martial law! They’ve all but won! And now we have to repel them, even if it is taxing us this much.â€

“Troy, we can’t win like this,†Gia told him, “Think through this. Our best bet is to go home and live. We’re under enemy control, and we’re clearly not making much difference. We have to be smart. We have to hit their command.â€

“We can’t take the Skyship up to attack the fleet again,†Noah said, “They’re onto us.â€

“So what are we supposed to do?†Jake questioned, “I’m with Troy. We need to keep fighting!â€

“Look what fighting has done to us!†Gia said, “We can’t keep this up! We’re far from fresh enough to fight on! We need a new plan, and we need to act strategically, or we’re all finished, and then everyone will be doomed.â€

Jake looked at Troy, who was rubbing his eyes. He nodded, “Gia’s in command for now,†he said, “I can’t handle this…I can’t right now…â€

“How much sleep have you gotten recently?†Gia asked him.

“Not enough,†he said, “Gia, lead us for now. I’ll gladly obey your orders.â€

“Until you get rested,†Gia told him.

He nodded, “Yeah…until then.â€


A young man sat in his closed and sealed garage. He had boarded it up and tried to make it secure, just in case the invasion forces came near.

He paused and listened. Once the footsteps passed he got back to work on the mechanical arch at his side. He was working on something behind a panel, and then closed and sealed the panel. He nodded, “Alright then,†he said to himself. He sighed and looked at a picture sitting on a counter beside him, “Drew, I’m coming for you…I hope.â€

He reached over and flicked the switch. The arch flickered, and then solidified into a spiraling portal.

The man rose, took a breath, and plunged straight in.

[Gokaiger 2. 6:10-6:14]

Zoom in on flagship.

[End Sentai footage]

Hexatrix held up the five keys that formed what were previously the Pirate Rangers.

“Can they be revived?†Vekar questioned.

“Yes, they can,†Hexatrix said, “It’s finally time. Their powers have recharged enough to allow the revival to finally begin.â€

“I could have revived them, you know,†Vrak said from the back. He had taken to staying against the back wall for the most part, not that he really minded.

“Yes, but when you revive, they’re somewhat weaker and lack their minds,†Hexatrix said, “The Pirate Rangers are too valuable a prize to let that happen to.â€

“And yet you had to wait a month to revive them,†Vrak said, “I could have done it in a day. And if they fell? I’d do it again the next day. You’re going to have to keep waiting.â€

“Yes, but one revival this way, and the Rangers are gone,†Vekar told his brother.

“Or so you’d like to think,†Vrak told him.

Vekar ignored him, “Go on, Hexatrix.â€

She nodded. The five keys began to float in front of her as a module from one of the control panels below the keys activated, charging into them.

Suddenly a flash appeared, and a man was standing on the bridge. He turned and looked at the aliens, and then turned to see the Earth through the windows.

“An intruder!†Vekar shouted, “Seize him!â€

Argus and Dravo were the closest and began to act immediately. The man turned and looked at Argus, “Drew?†he questioned.

Argus stopped for a split second, “Paul…,†but then he moved forward again, lifting his sword.

The man named Paul turned and looked at the keys. He threw his hand out to them and tried to grab them, but the power backlashed. He was blasted across the room, and the keys fell to the floor.

“What happened?†Vekar shouted. He turned to his brother, “Summon Hamerne! Metins! Kraves! Even your bodyguards!â€

“One human is enough for all of that?†Vrak questioned his brother.

Paul looked at Dravo and Argus, and suddenly he was gone in a flash, just like what had brought him in.

Paul landed back in his garage, right on his back. The arch at his side began to sizzle as it died out, all the lights going off. The lights in the garage flickered a little due to the massive drain, and then remained on.

Paul groaned and sat up, looking at his hand. As he uncurled his fingers he saw something in his grip. It was a key, designed like a silver Ranger.


“He knew you,†Dravo told Argus.

“He used to know me,†Argus responded, “No longer.â€

“You were human once?†Vrak questioned.

“But I’m not a human anymore,†Argus said, “And that’s all that matters.â€

“Correct,†Vekar said, “Track him,†he told Hexatrix, “I want that man found and brought before us. If he could teleport into this ship, he’s a threat.†He looked at the keys, still lying on the ground, “I want to know what he did…â€

“At once,†Hexatrix said, getting to work on the console before her.

Vekar looked back, but Vrak was gone. He turned and leaned back into his seat.

“I hate it when he does that,†Vekar muttered.


Troy sat up in his bed and grabbed his Morpher, “What is it?†he asked wearily.

“Come to the base, quickly!†Noah said.

“Alright,†he yawned.


Soon Troy teleported in, fully clothed and somewhat awakened. “What is it?†he asked Noah.

“There’s a distress call,†Noah told him. The others clearly already knew.

“A distress call?†Troy asked, “Could it be the Phantom Ranger? Or a trap? Or is it real?â€

“I think it’s real,†Noah said. He typed on his console, “Anyway, it’s weird. It’s coming from this,†he said.

[Gokaiger 9. 1:35-1:36 (note: cropped onto the terminal as an image on screen)]

The display brought up an image of a floating island, “It came from here.â€

[End Sentai footage]

“A floating island?†Jake asked.

“According to these archives I found, it’s called the Animarium,†Noah said, “The Wild Force Rangers used it as their base.â€

“You found an archive?†Troy asked.

He nodded.

“Can you tell me whose power I’m using?†Emma asked.

“I already found out,†he told her, bringing it up, “Trent. He was a Ranger.â€

“Trent was?†she questioned, looking at Noah, “I…I never realized…â€

“We’ll try to contact him later,†Gia said, “Anyone we can contact will be beneficial.â€

Emma nodded, “I have his number, I can reach him.â€

“Good,†Gia said, then turned back to Noah, “So, how do we get there?â€

“I can land us there,†he said, “Just a few more adjustments…â€

“If we Morph, they’ll find it,†Troy said.

“We’ll investigate on foot, without Morphing,†Gia said, “But always be ready.â€

“I have it locked,†Noah said.

Gia nodded and drew her Morpher, “Then let’s go.â€

They nodded and lifted their Morphers to teleport.


Paul was working hard and looked over old blueprints. He pushed them aside until he found the right one, and then started to dig through a large bin of electronics. “Come on, where are you?†he questioned, then sat back, “Where did you put it, Drew?â€

He started to look in another bin, and then another, and then he finally found it in a fourth. He lifted the key and put it next to the cellphone-like device, and nodded, “I can make this work. I just hope you built it right.â€

He moved back to his desk and set the key down, and then the cellphone next to it (if possible use old Morpher prop/toy to represent unfinished Morpher, just as anniversary joke). He reached over for some tools, and got to work.


The Rangers walked through a forest and looked around, but there was nothing. Just trees.

“This place is deserted,†Jake said, “Where did the signal come from?â€

“I’m not getting a direct reading,†Noah said, “Just this island.â€

“I wonder if we can find anything of use from the Wild Force Rangers,†Troy said.

“More is always better,†Gia said with a nod.

As the Rangers kept walking, a head poked out of the brush behind them. It was a Metin, who hurried and ran back the way it had come.

“What is it?†a figure questioned, walking out from behind a tree.

The Metin responded with a series of beeps.

“The Rangers?†the figure questioned, “Excellent…,†he looked at the small device in his claw, and then he threw it into the brush, “Now then, let’s go and welcome them, shall we?â€

As the monster, the Metins and Kraves walked on, they left something lying behind them on the ground.

Cracked Power Animal Crystals (note: just colored balls, no need to outright remake props. Note: Red Lion is missing from the group, so no reds in there).


On Earth, Paul was working on a computer, “Ok, here we go,†he said to himself. A picture of the Green Ranger, and then the White Ranger came up. And then the Gold Ranger, and more and more Rangers came up (note: all of the Sixths, I don’t feel like listing them all out here), except for the Titanium Ranger.

“Why are you missing?†he muttered, shaking his head, “Oh well. Lack of data, maybe?†He shrugged, “Fifteen is more than enough. Or…is it sixteen? Those Gold and Silver suits…,†he looked at the Series Gold and Silver images, taken as a result of the war, just like the Omega Ranger data, “Oh well, I’ll figure it out.â€

He looked at the Morpher in progress. It was almost done, just needing buttons and to finish the slot for his key.


Emma kept looking around, “This place is so beautiful,†she said, turning all around and looking at everything, “It’s so peaceful, so serene. Untouched…â€

“Yeah…really untouched,†Noah said, “It makes you wonder what’s even living here. If anything.â€

“Well, there could be buildings up ahead, or in any direction,†Gia said, “We’ve only been on a relatively small portion, right?â€

“Yeah, you’re right,†Noah said.

“I’d like to think that this place is almost completely untouched,†Emma said. “Being here just feels…right.â€

“What do you mean?†Gia asked her.

“I don’t know,†Emma admitted, “But it feels like I could just stay here…â€

“Well, that’s not happening,†Jake said, “We need to fight.â€

“I know,†Emma said, looking back at him, “Does nobody else feel this way, though? Just me?â€

“I don’t feel it,†Troy said.

“Me neither,†Jake told her.

“No,†Gia said.

“Huh, just you,†Noah commented.

“Hm…,†Emma said, turning her head to look back ahead.

As they walked on a little more, a number of Metins started to beep and come out from the trees.

The Rangers stopped and moved back to back, coming together into defensive stances.

“How are they here?†Noah questioned, “We didn’t Morph!â€

[Gokaiger 9. 4:10-4:13]

They heard a deep laugh as a monster dropped down and landed among his Metins and Kraves, “I launched the beacon,†he growled as he stepped towards them.

[End Sentai footage]

“You launched the signal?†Gia questioned, stepping forward.

[Gokaiger 9. 4:15-4:19]

“That’s right,†the monster growled, moving his clawed arm out, “It was all a trap, and here you are, stranded, and ready to go down.â€

[End Sentai footage]

“Well, they know we’re here,†Jake said, “We can Morph now.â€

“No,†Gia said, “It might bring more.â€

“But he has a big claw!†Jake said.

“Then avoid it,†Gia told him.

The Metins and Kraves ran past the monster, towards the Rangers.

“We can still use our cards, right?†Jake asked, drawing his Morpher, “Rock Rush!†He thrust his Morpher out, slamming a boulder into three oncoming Metins.

Troy ducked the swing of a Metin’s axe and kicked it in the side. He grabbed it by the arm and yanked it forward, kicking it into a tree.

Emma ducked and rolled away from one Metin. She came up and swept its leg out, and then kicked it as it fell.

Gia kicked a Krave back and then ducked the swing of the monster’s claw. She span around and drove a kick into his chest, but the monster only went back two steps.

“Do you think you can win without Morphing?†the monster questioned them, “You’re fools if you think that!â€

“They already know we’re here,†Noah said as he ducked a Metin’s swing. He grabbed the axe and pulled it and threw it into another Metin. Both went down, “We should Morph! He’s right, we can’t win like this.â€

They nodded and came together, drawing out their Morphers, “Mega Morph!†they called, transforming as one.

“Finally,†the monster growled, lifting his claw, “Let’s see what you can do against me! The mighty Vorrl!â€

Vorrl ran at the Rangers. Troy kicked at him, but his kick was blocked to the side by the claw. Vorrl punched him in the chest, taking him down. He whipped around and slashed Jake down the chest, causing him to shout and fall.

Gia leapt forward and kicked him, taking him a step back. Noah rolled at her side and fired from his hip, blasting Vorrl two steps back.

Emma was fighting the Metins and Kraves, her back to the other fight.

Vorrl blocked Noah’s next shots with his claw and backhanded the Blue Ranger, knocking him to the ground. He span and punched Gia with his right, taking her down as well.

“My power is greater than you thought, isn’t it?†he laughed.

Emma span around, lifting her Phoenix Shot .

“Emma, he’s really strong!†Troy shouted, still unable to pick himself up.

“Yeah…I’ve never seen raw strength like that before,†Jake groaned.

The remaining Metins and Kraves came to Vorrl’s side as the creature walked towards Emma, lifting his claw, “Come on,†Vorrl growled.

Emma lowered her weapon and took a breath.

“I beat Clawhate…I can beat you too…â€

And then there was a roar.

[Gokaiger 9. 6:38-6:40]

Vorrl moved back a little, “What was that?†he growled, looking around.

[Gokaiger 9. 6:45-6:49]

On a ridge nearby, a large lion moved, blocking the sun, and then roared again.

[End Sentai footage]

The downed Rangers looked up. Emma turned to look, while the focus of the Empire forces were still on it as well.

“Is that a Zord?†Emma questioned.

“I thought we got all of them!†Vorrl shouted, “Oh well, just one more crystal to smash…â€

Emma turned suddenly, lifting her weapon, “I will not allow you to harm it!†she shouted.

“You can’t stop me!†Vorrl shouted.

[Gokaiger 9. 6:57-7:05]

Vorrl looked at his troops, “Metins, take it down, now!†he shouted, throwing his claw forward. The troops ran forward to do his bidding.

The lion landed on the ground with a loud impact, and clawed the Metins away, before roaring.

“What?†Vorrl shouted.

[End Sentai footage]

“He’s on our side,†Emma said quietly.

[Gokaiger 9. 7:08-7:09 (note: cut Gokaigers out)]

The lion roared again and clawed the three Kraves and Vorrl, sending them flying.

[End Sentai footage]

Vorrl and the three Kraves flew back and fell.

Emma walked towards the Zord, de-Morphing. She looked at it, and it looked down at her. A red glow fell down in front of her, so she held out her hand, receiving the crystal.

“Is this your power?†she asked. But she received no response, instead she saw something.

She saw her father, climbing. Was that the same ridge the lion had appeared on? It was here, the Animarium, that was certain. How she knew that, she wasn’t actually sure.

And then she saw her father with a woman in a white dress. Shayla? Where did that name come from?

She saw the time pass, as her father lived here. She heard mention of a name from Shayla. Merrick. “He’d want me to move on,†Shayla said.

Later, she saw her father and Shayla with a baby, and then her father at home with the baby.

“I was born here…,†Emma said. She looked up, but the lion was gone. She held the crystal, which glowed.

“Emma?†Gia asked, touching her shoulder.

“Are you ok?†Noah asked her.

“I…I’m fine,†she said. She looked at them with tears in her eyes, “I’m fine…believe me.â€

“We should go,†Gia said, “We took care of the signal. We have to get back to Earth and help down there.â€

“Right,†Emma said. She turned and looked back, wishing she could go on, wishing she could go and see if her mother was here.

The others teleported. Emma stood for another few moments, “I’ll be back,†she whispered, teleporting as well.


The Metin patrol passed by, and Paul ran out behind them with his Morpher in one hand, and his key in the other. He was about to shout at them when a stream of energy came in, smashing into each Metin and taking them down.

“Got them,†Noah said as the team came around the corner.

“More behind us,†Gia reported, spinning and shooting.

Paul stood and watched. Emma hurried over to him, “It’s dangerous here. Go find somewhere safe and hide.â€

“Find somewhere safe?†Paul questioned.

“You’re a civilian, and these streets are filled with Metins and enemy patrols. If they find you, who knows what’ll happen?†Noah told him.

“I was looking for a fight!†Paul told them.

“Look,†Gia said, walking towards him, “You might know martial arts or something, but you can’t fight them. You’re not a Ranger, you’ll be injured. We appreciate it, but…â€

He held up the Morpher in one hand, and the key in the other.

“That’s…,†Noah muttered.

“The Pirate Rangers...,†Jake said.

“Look,†Paul said, “I ended up building a teleporter, and got into a spaceship. I saw a bunch of keys and grabbed them, and then I got this one. I built a Morpher for it, and now I’m trying to find a fight so I can test it out.â€

“Wait,†Noah said, “You built a teleporter and ended up in one of their ships?â€

“I’d guess it was the flagship,†he said, “The guys there seemed important.â€

“I want to see this,†Noah said, “This doesn’t seem possible. We couldn’t even teleport into their advance ship!â€

“Look, I can show you later. Or right now, you know, whenever.†He lifted his Morpher, “I just want to test this…â€

“So, you built a Morpher, and didn’t test it?†Noah questioned.

“I like field testing. I didn’t test the teleporter either, I just dove in.â€

Everyone looked at Jake, “What? I changed!â€

“Look, let me prove it to you,†Paul said, “Oh, I’m Paul. Paul Orion.†He looked at the key, “I know about the Pirate Rangers. I saw them destroy your Megazord. I know of the fights. But…just because my power is probably similar to theirs, that doesn’t mean I’m like them.†He looked at Noah, “If I could, I’d love to be a Green Ranger with the power of the ocean, like you. My Zord could be like an ostrich or something.â€

“Ok, weird choice,†Jake said, “I mean, ostrich? Why not crab or turtle?â€

“I don’t think an ostrich is related to the sea. At all,†Gia said.

“Ok, I’m not good with animals,†Paul admitted.

He turned when the others looked behind him. There was a patrol of Metins, along with a monster in orange and gray with a silver collar.

“Let me handle him,†Paul said, “Let me prove myself to you!â€

“Let him try,†Troy said, looking at the others.

Paul stepped forward and lifted the Morpher. He slid the key into the slot and closed the window down over it. He thrust it forward and pressed the second button in.

“Silver Energize!â€

He threw his arms back as silver energy wrapped around his body. It split down the middle, and cinched at the waist with a golden belt. Golden bands appeared on his wrists and at the tops of his boots, and then black spread out from them, forming his bodysuit.

A pair of golden glasses appeared before his eyes, and then as soon as they touched his body the helmet appeared.

[Gokaiger 17. 16:53-16:56]

(note: establishing shots of his suit.)

[Gokaiger 17. 17:13-17:21]

He moved his right hand along his helmet, brushing his thumb across it, then he turned it to a thumb’s up, “Here I am!†he announced. He threw his arm down, “I may be a pirate, I may be different,†he threw his arm up and drew his other to his hip, “Megaforce…,†he drew his arm down. He span around and threw his arms out, “Silver!†(note: the silver streamers are practical by the look of it. I’m not sure if those can be edited out. So…turn it into an explosion, maybe? Or actually attempt to edit them out. If neither is possible, I don’t care, they’re fine)

[End Sentai footage]

“He’s clearly a Pirate Ranger,†Noah said, “But different in some of his design.â€

“But he’s human, and that sets him apart,†Emma said.

[Gokaiger 17. 17:39-17:42]

With his arms out, he glanced back, “I’ll prove my worth to you guys. Just watch.†He drew his arms down and stood taller.

[End Sentai footage]

“Then go,†Troy said, “Prove yourself.â€

[Gokaiger 17. 17:46-18:55]

He threw his arms down in a fighting stance, “Right!†he announced, and then charged forward, shouting.

“Metins, go!†the monster shouted in a bubbly voice. The Metins ran for him.

Paul shouted and worked his way through a few of them with punches and kicks, showing that he was rather formidable.

As he fought through some more, he landed and span around as they surrounded him.

“Alright!†he called, throwing his arm back and drawing out a weapon, “Let’s see what this suit’s got!†He drew up a gold blaster and shouted, firing into the various Metins. He evaded shots and kept firing, then rolled back to gain some distance to take down some more.

As some Metins fired their missiles, he swung his weapon out, “Trident Mode!†he shouted as the weapon unfolded into a long trident. He shouted as he swung, deflecting the missiles. He span the weapon overhead and lowered it, “Here I come!†he shouted as he ran for them.

He cut down some, and others evaded. He twirled the weapon around his body as he fought through them, shouting with every few strikes.

Finally he started to cut in a flurry (note: cut out Gokaigers in the background, replace with Goseigers) to drop all of the remaining Metins.

He drew the weapon up and ran for the monster, engaging him, but he kept evading, “I’ll make you pay for interrupting this patrol, human!†the monster shouted.

Paul locked with him and looked back, “Hey,†he pointed out to them, “What do you think?†He moved away from the monster and pointed at himself, “I’m not bad, am I?†The monster pushed his trident away and slashed, but he ducked it.

[End Gokaiger footage]

“He’s cocky,†Gia said. She glanced at Jake, “He does remind me of the old you.â€

“Hey!†Jake responded.

“What’s that thing on his neck?†Troy pondered.

[Gokaiger 17. 19:02-19:04]

They looked at the silver collar he wore while he clashed with Paul.

[End Sentai footage]

“Should we hit it?†Jake asked.

“It looks like it might be reinforcement for a weak spot,†Noah said, “But…â€

“It doesn’t feel right,†Troy said.

[Gokaiger 17. 19:09-19:21]

Paul shouted and continued to slash at the monster, but he threw his arms out and laughed as a barrier appeared, stopping each of Paul’s strikes. Paul was finally sent back, rolling.

[End Sentai footage]

He picked himself up by the other Rangers, “That’s a tough barrier…â€

“Let’s all go,†Troy said.

“No, please, let me try something,†Emma said.

“Go ahead,†Troy said.

Emma walked forward and held out the crystal. It flashed, and then she held the combined Jungle Sword.

“So, we gained those weapons too,†Gia said.

Emma shouted and ran forward, swinging at the monster, who continued to dodge back. He finally generated his barrier, but she cleaved through it in one swing. He shouted as he was blasted back and his collar fell in two pieces.

“No!†he screamed.

“Show us some more,†Gia told Paul.

[Gokaiger 17. 21:50-22:40]

“Right,†Paul said, holding his trident against the ground. He pointed forward, “Barrier gone, I can take you out!†He kicked the bottom of his trident and ran forward, engaging the monster, slashing it a few times and stopping every attack it tried. He shouted with each swing and eventually sent the monster flying back.

“Ok then, I’m taking you down,†he said as he flicked his key into key mode. He inserted it into his trident and span it around. He leapt up with a shout, “Silver Crash!†he shouted as he threw his trident. It carried forward and smashed through the monster, taking it down.

He span around and swung his trident out as the monster exploded behind him, “I win,†he said, gaining excitement, “I did it! I beat him!â€

[End Sentai footage]

He walked back to the Megaforce Rangers, “Well?â€

“You’re in,†Gia said after looking to Troy.

Troy nodded, “Yeah. You’re in.â€

All six of them undid their Morphs. Noah clasped him on the shoulder, “I’ll get you hooked up to teleport with us later.â€

He nodded, “Thanks.â€

“I’m Noah,†Noah said.

“Troy.â€

“Jake.â€

“Gia.â€

“Emma.â€

Paul nodded, “And you know my name.â€

“Let’s get going,†Troy said, “We have a lot more fighting to do.â€

As the others followed, Paul walked alongside Emma, “Hey…is something wrong?†he asked her, “I mean, I’m the new guy, I don’t know you, but it just feels like something’s wrong…â€

“No, it’s…well…,†she said. She sighed, “Everyone else knows my story. I never knew my mother, I lost my father, I’m with my grandmother…but today, today I learned about my mother.†She held out the crystal in her hand, “She guided the Wild Force Rangers. I was born on the Animarium. I…I’ve never known about myself, and now things are coming together.â€

“I’m sorry about the losses you’ve had, but…but that’s wonderful,†he told her, “I’m happy for you to have found your mother’s identity, and where to find her.â€

“Thank you,†she said.

He gave her a small smile, “Everyone should know about their family. Their loved ones. I’m sorry that you’ve had to go through this.â€

“What about you?†she asked.

“I have my family. But they don’t live in Harwood. They were out of town when the invasion happened, so I’m alone now. And…that would be fine, if I hadn’t lost my best friend.â€

“You lost him?â€

“It’s…it’s a long story,†he said.


“Make him grow!†Vekar shouted at Hexatrix.

“All he had was his barrier, and that’s gone,†Hexatrix said, “But I’ve found Vorrl. I’ll make him grow instead.â€

“Fine, fine,†Vekar said.

[Gokaiger 9. 19:37-19:45]

The cannons emerged from the flagship and fired.

Vorrl and three Kraves grew (note: cut Gokaigers out of foreground)

[End Sentai footage]

As the Rangers walked they felt the rumble, “It’s that Vorrl guy,†Jake said.

“Let’s deal with him,†Troy said. He looked back to Paul, “You’re sitting out, unless you have a Zord.â€

“I don’t,†he said.

“Then let’s do it,†Troy said, slotting the card.

“By the way, I don’t care that you’re taking charge,†Gia told Troy, looking back at him, “That just tells me that you should be our leader. No matter what, you’re pushing forward.â€

He gave her one nod and a small smile.

[Gokaiger 9. 20:08-20:16]

The Pirate Megazord formed and walked through the city, cutting the Kraves back.

[End Sentai footage]

“Let’s use the cannons,†Troy said.

[Gokaiger 9. 20:19-20:22]

Vorrl laughed and threw his arm forward, shooting a version of his claw onto the latch on the back of the Megazord.

[End Sentai footage]

The Rangers were shaken in the cockpit, grunting from the shock.

[Gokaiger 9. 20:24-20:30]

The Kraves grabbed both arms of the Megazord, leaving it open for Vorrl.

[Gokaiger 9. 20:36-20:38]

“Ha!†Vorrl laughed, “You’re weak.â€

[End Sentai footage]

“We need a plan,†Troy said, “Anyone?â€

Emma held her hand out, “I have one idea.â€

The red crystal gleamed in her hand.

[Gokaiger 9. 20:44-20:46]

The Red Lion Zord roared.

[End Sentai footage]

Emma closed her eyes and lowered her head (note: do face shot, like RPM always did to establish her eye closure), and began to sing softly.

[Gokaiger 9. 21:03-21:11]

The port on the back of the Megazord span and the chest of the Megazord opened (note: cut out Gao kanji). The Kraves were knocked back, but Vorrl moved back in confusion, “What?â€

The Red Lion ran down from the Animarium on a rainbow pathway.

“What?†Vorrl hissed again.

[Gokaiger 9. 21:15-21:22]

The Zord finally landed and ran, roaring and leaping at Vorrl, slashing him a few times with its claws. He shouted in pain.

[Gokaiger 9. 21:25-21:35]

He stumbled back as the Lion landed in front of the Megazord and roared. It turned to the Megazord and roared again.

[End Sentai footage]

“It’s time to combine,†Emma told them, looking at the crystal again.

Noah looked at his module, “I don’t see how…â€

“Believe,†she told him, “Believe in his power.â€

[Gokaiger 9. 21:46-21:54]

The Megazord and Lion leapt up. The legs ejected from the Megazord, and the legless Megazord l’s back, attaching there.

[Gokaiger 9. 21:55-22:04]

“Wild Pirate Megazord!†they all shouted as they rode forward.

“Get them!†Vorrl shouted, throwing his arm out.

The three Kraves moved forward and switched modes to a motorcycle-like form, and rode forward.

[End Sentai footage]

“That’s new,†Jake said.

[Gokaiger 9. 22:07-22:15]

They fired lasers at the Megazord, which rode through, slashing one and passing the others. They were chased, fired on from behind.

[Gokaiger 9. 22:16-22:20]

They took down another, and left only one, which clashed with them.

[Gokaiger 9. 22:21-22:27]

The Megazord leapt up and slashed as it landed to destroy the Krave.

“Here I come then!†Vorrl shouted, running at them.

[End Sentai footage]

“Let’s end it,†Emma said, holding out the crystal in her hand.

[Gokaiger 9. 22:30-22:37]

The Lion Zord roared and began to glow in his mane and mouth.

“Wild Access!†they shouted.

A blast was fired from his mouth into Vorrl, and they rode forward, using the blast and slash to destroy him. They rode off, victorious.

[End Sentai footage]


Paul looked around the base, “So…I don’t get one of these things,†he motioned to the podiums, “Ok, that’s cool.â€

“You can share if you need one,†Jake said, “Noah’s the only one who really uses his…â€

“You have things to tell us,†Troy told him.

Paul nodded, “I know I do, and I will get to them,†he said, “But…just not right now…if that’s ok.â€

“Yeah, sure,†Troy said, “Just be sure to tell us what it is soon. Especially if it’s important.â€

“I will,†Paul said.

“I still want to see your equipment,†Noah said, “Especially the teleporter. It could be just what we need to win this.â€

Paul nodded, “Yeah. I’ll show you later.â€

One by one the Rangers left, until Paul was alone. He heard a crackling noise, but ignored it. He walked out and along the beach, then looked up at the sky.

“Drew…â€


In space, Argus looked down at the planet.

“Paul.â€

Chapter 7: Samurai and Time Travel

[Timestamp: The morning of the Ranger War]

“Drew, what are you doing?†Paul shouted as he ran into the garage and looked at his friend, who was working on a mechanical arch. It was flashing violently with crimson energy in the center.

“I’m making it work!†he shouted back.

Paul shook his head, “Look at it! It’s going to explode or something!â€

“No it won’t!†Drew shouted, “I know what I’m doing!â€

“Now’s not the time!†he shouted to his friend, “Have you seen the news?â€

“I don’t care about the news!†Drew shouted, “I don’t care what’s going on anywhere else! All I care about is this!â€

There was a moment of silence as Drew turned to Paul.

“Bye, my friend,†he said, offering his hand out, “Come with me.â€

“Drew!†Paul shouted, running to try to grab him. As soon as he did, Drew stepped into the portal. It fizzled and then with a sparking and burst of sound died out.


Drew stumbled and fell onto an alien ship’s floor. He looked around to see Stingers, Metins and Kraves, and then came to his feet and looked down at the Earth. (note: it can be the insect ship set instead of building a new set entirely)

“I…I want to join you…†He turned back to them, “I want to expand my horizons. I want to know what it’s like beyond this planet. Please! Please…let me join you…â€


[Timestamp: Present day]

Paul sat up in his bed, shaking his head, “No…no…,†he muttered. He grabbed the glass of water at his side and drank some of it before setting it back. It slid off the side, falling to the floor. He heard something crackling on his Morpher and looked at it. Was that a voice? No…he was just tired.

“Not this dream…not again,†he muttered. He got out of bed and walked to the window, looking out at the moon above. “Drew…â€


It was night, dark. A man was running, and then came to a stop and crouched behind a bench. He looked out at the ground ahead, where red light was coming from a crack in the ground. The light grew, and then it faded.

He waited, but nothing happened.

The man approached and looked at it, “Another one…,†he muttered, and then ran off.


In the morning, as the sun was coming up, the five Rangers were on the beach, the Magi Staffs in hand. They were practicing. They would swing and get a feel for their weapons, although Noah and Emma’s were basic. Troy’s was a sword, which he was used to, while Jake had an axe. He was used to that, of course. Gia’s was a bowgun, which was taking getting used to, making swings and then firing as well.

They were clashing the weapons against each other as part of training, getting a feel for them, getting some practice in and making the others react to these different weapons and strategies. For what it was worth, the staffs were light enough and offered different speed.

“Alright, let’s try SPD weapons,†Troy said.

“You sure you want the big one?†Jake asked.

“I’m sure,†he said, “You just keep yours.â€

He sighed, “Fine.â€

The training was to run and move around rocks, then take aim at set targets while moving and tired. Noah and Emma were doing fine, while Gia was learning fast, and Jake was picking it up rather well. Troy’s problem was the bigger weapon and kickback, but he was adapting to it.

Troy looked at the claw-like weapon from the Wild Force team, “Wild Force,†he said.

The team went through duels with each other. Troy’s was mostly punching, while Noah had some practice wielding his bowgun like a tonfa already. Jake was having an easy time with his axe, while Gia’s sword was fine, as was Emma’s staff.

“The combined power is much more useful, I think,†Emma said, “We can use other weapons easily enough, but we can’t combine anything else.â€

Troy nodded, “I think that’s what these are best used for.†He looked up at the sky, “Well, that was good training everyone. See you guys later.â€

They all headed off in their own directions, teleporting or walking. But Troy remained, looking at the water.

Like Paul, he had someone on his mind.

“Phantom…â€


[Gokaiger 11. 9:02-9:04]

A purple ship pulled up alongside the flagship and docked with it.

[End Sentai footage]

Blue feet walked through the steel hallway, and then the door slid open. A figure in a wicked blue design stepped in, blade in hand.

“Jerox!†Vekar shouted as he jumped to his feet, “What are you doing back?â€

The warrior rested his sword on his shoulder, “What do you mean?†he questioned, “I squashed the SPD resistance on some of our worlds. It’s done, I’m back.â€

“Are you sure it’s done?†Vekar questioned, “Father will be…â€

“Your father will have nothing to worry about, “Jerox told the Prince, “We won’t have any enemies taking us from behind. It’s done.†He walked over and looked out at the Earth, “And now that I’m back, I realize how much I missed fighting.†He looked back to Vekar, “I’m going right down.â€

“What?†Vekar questioned, hurrying towards him, “But I need you here!â€

“There are no threats here,†Jerox told him, “My sword is better put to combat than bodyguard duty.â€

Vekar grabbed him and pulled him aside, “I don’t trust my brother,†he hissed.

“You have other guards,†Jerox said, “And the sooner the Rangers are gone, the better, right?â€

Vekar looked around the bridge, and then back to Jerox, “I’m coming too, then,†he hissed.

“It’s too dangerous, my Prince!†Jerox told him.

“I don’t trust Vrak,†he said, “And…I need to do something. I need to stop giving Vrak reasons to mock me.â€

“…very well,†Jerox growled, “I will protect you.â€

Vekar nodded.


“What are you doing?†Noah asked as he looked at the terminal that Paul was working at.

“N-nothing,†Paul said, closing out what he was doing.

“I don’t expect you to be playing games or something,†Noah said, “I can tell that you’re no Jake.â€

Paul sighed and brought it back up. They were calculations.

“What are you trying to do?†Noah asked.

“I’m trying to trace a signature,†he said, “The teleporter I had. I want to track the results.â€

“Are you trying to pinpoint the flagship?†Noah asked.

“No,†he said. “Look, have you seen a mechanical swordsman among their number?â€

“I think so,†Noah said, “Yeah, he was with Hexatrix during one of our fights with the Pirate Rangers.â€

“He’s my friend…,†Paul said, “Or…or was. The day of the war, he got the teleporter working. He went to one of their ships. Or…that’s what I always assumed, and I guess his reappearance has confirmed. He joined them…he became one of them.â€

“But how do you know that’s him?†Noah asked.

“Because the technology there is his design,†Paul said, “I have to assume he got somewhere with his technical genius, and is now serving them as a high ranked member, if he was on the bridge of their flagship.â€

“I’m sorry,†Noah said, “But…but at least you know he’s ok.â€

“I don’t know if I’d call that ‘ok’,†Paul said, “But I get what you mean.â€

“Do you think you can help me with something, when you get the chance?†Noah asked.

“What is it?†he asked.

“I want to try to find the Phantom Ranger,†Noah said, “I think together we might be able to track him. He’s using part of the Zeo Crystal in his armor, so…that has to be something.â€

Paul nodded, “Yeah. I’ll gladly help.â€

Noah nodded and clasped him on the shoulder, “Thank you.â€

Something began flashing on the panels. Noah grabbed his as he moved to it, looking at the screen, “It’s an attack.†He drew his Morpher and looked to Drew, “You ready?â€

Drew nodded.


[Gokaiger 11. 12:09-12:22]

One of the Empire ships floated and dropped a number of troops, Jerox, Argus and Prince Vekar.

“We’re here…,†Vekar said, “Now,†he stepped forward, “it is time to finally take this planet for the glory of the Empire!†he thrust his arms out.

[Gokaiger 11. 12:25-12:30]

“Rangers, I want you to appear, and I will crush you. I will do what my brother failed to do! So, come!†He threw his arm out.

[End Sentai footage]

The Rangers ran, unsuited, but with their blasters in hand. They started to fire as they ran.

[Gokaiger 11. 12:33-12:35]

Vekar shouted as the blasts came. Argus and Jerox blocked the blasts with their swords.

[End Sentai footage]

The Rangers stopped and faced their threat.

“So, are you the leader?†Troy shouted at Vekar.

(closeup on Vekar’s face, to avoid the fact that it’s not the same scene) “Yes. I am Prince Vekar! I will have this world, no matter what you do!â€

“Alright guys, let’s take him down!†Jake said.

“If we can, we can put a serious dent in their invasion,†Gia said.

They all drew their Morphers and put their cards inside as Paul drew his Morpher and Key.

“Mega Morph!†they called.

He slid his key in, closed the plate and pressed his button and thrust the Morpher forward, “Silver Energize!â€

The six Rangers stood there. There was no reason to fear the tracer right now, not since the enemy had called them out like this.

“Alright, show us what you can do!†Jake shouted, “Or…can’t do. I mean, those tassel things? I…guys, I don’t think he’s a fighter.â€

[Gokaiger 11. 12:59-13:03]

Vekar growled in annoyance, “Get them!†he ordered, sending the Metins and Kraves forward.

[End Sentai footage]

“Let’s make short work of them!†Troy said.

Paul nodded and swung his trident around, “You think I can access you armory?†he asked.

“I think you’re configured,†Noah said, “I mean, I did it. It should work.â€

He nodded, “Thanks.â€

The team took grips of their Magi Staffs, while Paul took the Laser Lamp. The team shouted and ran into battle.

(note: this battle will be in the Mystic Force suits)

The Rangers shouted as they slashed through Metins and Kraves with their Staffs. Gia would spin around and use her bowgun while the others went into direct combat.

Paul was ducking and spinning away from attacks as he shot. He threw in a few kicks and punches, but relied on his firearm.

The team came together and ran forward as one. They leapt through in a blur of color, and upon landing, the enemies fell (note: as soon as explosion occurs, they’re in their Mega forms).

More Metins and Kraves ran at them. Some of the Metins were firing missiles from their axes, while others shot from the shafts, using smaller blasts.

Paul span in the way, using the Lunar Cue to slam the missiles out of the way and to block the blasts with his rapid swings.

The others ran past him with the Wild Force weapons in hand, shouting. Paul swung his weapon down and ran after them.

(Wild Force suits)

They slashed through the warriors, fighting back to back, repelling the continuously advancing Empire warriors.

“Let’s combine them!†Troy said.

“I’ll cover you!†Paul told them, spinning around and clearing a larger gap with his longer weapon.

The weapons came together as Troy held it, “Duck!†he told them, spinning around and clearing out the circle of enemies.

(after explosion, return to base suits)

Troy lowered his arm and the large sword, “How many more?†he muttered.

The wave continued forward towards the team, forcing them back with sheer numbers.

“We should be fighting smarter,†Noah said.

“Or bigger weapons!†Jake said.

“Well, there’s some old Jake shining through,†Gia said.

Emma drew up her Morpher, “Let’s use this!†she said. “Shining Morph Card!â€

The others followed suit, transforming to Shining Mode in a flash of gold. (note: no Zord head inside of the Sword’s dome on any of their weapons).

“Well then, that’s nice,†Paul said. “I guess…yeah, let’s use this!†He held his hand out, taking the Magna Blaster, which he shifted to sword mode.

The five Rangers ran forward, slashing with their Shining Swords, using their superior power to cut through the enemies. Meanwhile, Paul was slashing through them to cover the rear. He switched back to firearm mode and shot a few back, but resumed his sword again.

The Rangers were nearing Vekar, but a number of Kraves got in the way and pushed them back. “Alright, let’s fight together!†Troy said, holding his Shining Sword out.

The others put them on top of each other and shouted as they fired their combined attack to wipe them out.

Paul (as Magna Defender) was spinning and slashing at the troop of Metins. He span around once, cutting them all down. He ran past them, towards the others.

“I believe it’s my turn,†Jerox grunted, lifting his sword.

The Rangers lifted their swords as the blue warrior walked forward, holding his blade out.

“Come on!†Jerox shouted, running at them. They drew their blades up and ran for him, clashing as one, but Jerox wasn’t fazed. He continued to parry and spin to block everything. He kicked them aside and grabbed their weapons. He’d pull them forward and throw them around like they were nothing.

The Rangers rolled across the ground and came back to their feet, but Jerox leapt at them, slashing them back farther and farther until they were thrown to the ground again.

[Gokaiger 11. 16:21-16:25]

Vekar had Argus at his back, laughing, “Yes, good Jerox! Now, destroy them all!†he threw his arm up.

[End Sentai footage]

The Rangers were groaning as they rose again, “We’ll stop you…,†Troy hissed.

[Gokaiger 11. 16:58-16:59]

Vekar waved his finger, “Tsk-tsk, no.â€

[End Sentai footage]

Paul threw his hand out, grabbing the Lion Hammer. He shouted as he came to his knees and swung it down, smashing all of them back (including his own side), giving them all room.

Argus tried to shield Vekar as they stumbled back. Argus looked back, glaring at Paul.

“Take the shot!†Paul shouted, “We can do a lot of damage right now!â€

Troy grabbed his firearm and lifted it, firing past Jerox.

“My Prince!†Jerox shouted back.

[Gokaiger 11. 20:12-20:13 (note: edit in lasers)]

Argus turned around, after facing Vekar. He took a series of blasts to his chest and stumbled.

[Gokaiger 11. 20:16-20:27]

Vekar shouted and drew his arm up. Blue blood ran out of his wound. Argus turned, “My Prince!†he called, moving to Vekar’s side as the prince cried out in pain.

“No! No!†he was shouting, “Argus! Jerox!†he shouted, coughing as he fell.

[End Sentai footage]

Jerox looked at the Rangers and growled. He lifted his blade and prepared to move in, but then heard Vekar’s yells for him. He growled and turned to run.

[Gokaiger 11. 20:38-20:43]

Jerox came to Argus and Vekar’s side. Energy came around them and sucked them back into the ship.

[End Sentai footage]

The Rangers came together and undid their Morphs.

“That guy was so strong…,†Jake said, “How are we supposed to beat him?â€

“We’ll try Legacy Mode next time,†Troy said. “It’s about all we can do.â€


[Gokaiger 2. 6:10-6:14]

Zoom in on the flagship.

[End Sentai footage]

“Brother, perhaps you should consider armor?†Vrak asked as he looked at his bandaged brother, sitting in his plush chair.

Vekar ignored him and looked at the bandage.

“But of course, I have robotic enhancements now, so I don’t need to worry about armor…,†he looked at Vekar and took a breath, “I suspect it was your doing. So I’m thankful you took that pain away from me.†He still suspected Hexatrix had been acting on Vekar’s orders.

Still no answer.

“Fine,†Vrak said, walking away. He snapped his fingers, “Go,†he told a monster.

The monster nodded and headed out the door, no objection from Vekar.


At the command center, the Rangers were bandaging themselves and tending to their wounds.

“We wounded the Prince at least,†Jake said, “That’s something.â€

“It’s not enough,†Noah said, “He’s a new enemy. I imagine if he goes down, then Vrak takes over.â€

“But still, taking him down would be a start,†Emma said, “And a start is something we need.â€

“You wouldn’t call us taking out a bunch of their ships a start?†Jake asked.

“No. I think it made them angry,†she said, “I think we might have brought this powerful enemy upon ourselves by doing that.â€

“He was a swordsman,†Troy said, looking at them, “Not just a monster using a sword. He was a swordsman. I could feel it. The power he gave…it was all controlled. His strikes, his swings…â€

“So, he’s a swordsman,†Jake said, “What do you want us to do about it?â€

“I think we need to train on our swords,†he told Jake. He gestured to the weapons from the previous Rangers, “Everyone take something, and come outside with me. We’re going to train.â€


The Rangers sparred with each other. Noah was picking things up faster than expected against Jake. Noah’s moves were measured and swift while Jake’s were stronger, two-handed, more offensive.

“You’re like the water,†Troy said as he passed by, watching them. His fencing experience gave him something to offer here as a sort of teacher, “Fluid. And Jake…well, you’re like an avalanche. I guess.â€

“I guess this is what happens when we have our elemental powers,†Jake said, shouting and swinging. Noah parried and sidestepped, having access to a clean shot.

Gia and Emma were dueling as well. Gia’s attacks were strong, but not like Jake’s. They were a bit more fluid, yet still had that edge of power and destructiveness to them.

Emma was dodging around more gracefully, making light contact and then dodging instead of making parries.

“Well, I already know you’re good, Gia,†Troy said.

“I remember that fencing class well, and how I did,†Gia said.

Troy nodded and looked at Emma, “I like that you keep moving. Don’t tire yourself, but you have the right idea. Don’t make contact longer than you need to.â€

She nodded, “Right. Thank you.â€

Troy stood in front of Paul and lifted his sword, “Show me what you can do,†he told Paul.

Paul lunged, forcing Troy to knock it to the side. Paul span and slashed low, forcing Troy to lift a leg and hop back. He lunged for Paul, whose sword was still down.

“You fight like you have a trident or staff of some sort,†Troy said, “I get it, that’s your weapon. But don’t stick to that mindset.â€

“I’m trying,†Paul said.

“Try harder,†Troy said, lowering his sword, “I’ll help you with it.â€

He nodded. He pulled out his Morpher, which was crackling again, “Um…â€

“What is that?†Troy asked.

“I have no idea,†Paul replied, hitting it a little. It stopped.

“You know, I wish we had a Samurai Ranger to train us, or something,†Jake said, “I mean, they know what they’re doing with swords!†He looked at the Spin Sword he held, “I mean, I can swing this thing, but I’d love to know those fancy attacks someone skilled can use!â€

“Just focus on basics,†Troy told him, “That’s how we’re going to win.â€

There was a beeping on their Morphers. Noah lifted his, “There’s another monster.â€

“I’ll go,†Paul said, looking at all of them, “Let me go. If that other guy comes back again, take care of him. I’ll deal with this one. I need more training anyway, and if I can do this, well…it’ll make me feel more useful.â€

“Be careful,†Troy told him.

“I will be,†he said, hurrying off.


Paul ran through the construction site, shouting ahead at the monster and his troops.

[Gokaiger 18. 14:02-14:03]

“Only one? Go!†the monster shouted, throwing its arm up and sending the soldiers forward.

[End Sentai footage]

Paul shouted and slashed through some with his trident. He went low and swept some legs out before switching to his firearm and shooting a few. As more closed in on him, he was forced back, shooting rapidly.

He ducked a swung of an axe and slashed it with his trident.

[Gokaiger 18. 14:11-14:16]

Paul began to slash through some, then struck a Krave in the chest with his trident. He shouted and threw it across the ground and then looked up.

[End Sentai footage]

Some Metins on a truck fired for him. He rolled and switched modes, returning fire.

[Gokaiger 18. 15:06-15:09]

The monster and some Kraves came forward. Paul looked behind him, “Oh, that’s all?â€

[End Sentai footage]

Paul ran forward, slashing past the Kraves as they ran for him. He span as he got close to the monster and slashed, but the monster put his arms together, shielding himself. Paul’s weapon bounced right off.

“What?†he shouted, going again, but it bounced off again.

“Ha!†the monster shouted, slamming him with its large arms. Two Kraves grabbed him as he fell back, and the third slashed him repeatedly, throwing him back.

Paul hit the ground hard, shouting. “Maybe the Delta Enforcer…,†he muttered, coming up, but the Kraves slashed through him again, taking him back down.

“You can’t beat me,†the shield monster growled, “My defense is too strong for you.â€

“Maybe we can,†Troy said as he and the others ran forward, shooting at the Kraves. They were blasted back, giving Paul time to rise.

“What about the other guy?†Paul questioned.

“We can’t let you get beat like this,†Emma told him, “And he hasn’t shown up. So we’re not just going to sit back and watch. We’re going to help our teammate.â€

“Let’s plow through that shield,†Troy said.

The Rangers held out their Legacy Mode weapons, transforming into their armored modes. They all rushed forward, slashing through the Kraves to destroy them, approaching the monster.

Troy slashed down his shields, followed by Gia slashing to the side. Jake slashed sideways at an angle, and then Noah and Emma at opposite sides, pushing the monster back.


“My Prince,†Jerox said, “The Rangers are occupied. I can take them down right now, if you will allow me to go.â€

“Go,†Vekar hissed.

Jerox nodded, hurrying off.


The five Rangers were joined by Paul, “Alright, I think we’ve gotten through that shield,†Troy told him.

[Gokaiger 18. 17:05-17:41 (note: edit in the bullet he fires to a laser)]

As the monster rose, steam coming off of his shield arms, Paul ran for him, shouting. The monster put his arms together as Paul reached him, but Paul slashed him back with an energized slash.

“Let’s do this!†he shouted, switching to firearm mode as he loaded his key. “Silver Blast!†he shouted as he fired, blasting through the monster. It fell and exploded as Paul turned away from it.

[End Sentai footage]

There was an explosion in the distance.

“I think that might be our guy,†Jake said.

“Let’s go, everyone,†Troy said.

“But wait…,†Noah said, “What if this one grows?â€

There was crackling again from Paul’s Morpher. He pulled it out and hit it a little, “That shouldn’t be happening,†he muttered.

“Guys, let’s just go,†Troy said, “We’ll have to figure it out.â€

“Go,†Paul told Noah, holding up his Morpher, “I’ll be right there…â€

Noah nodded and ran with the others.

“S…S…Sil…†he was hearing as he listened closely.

“Hello?†he asked.

“Silver Ranger…,†the voice came, “C…c…can you hear us?â€

“Yes, yes I can,†he said, stopping, “Who are you?â€

“A force from the future,†it came through clearly, “And you need us. Now.â€

“How do you know that?â€

“Because our records tell us we do this. Right now. Or else the future is going to have problems.â€

“Stable time loop?†he asked.

“We’re sending you something,†the voice said.


In a dark room, Jen Scotts (note: doesn't even need to be the actress, it can be from behind and dark enough to obscure this fact. Just the voice is needed) reached over and pressed a button. She leaned forward, “Here it comes,†she said.

[Gokaiger 18. 17:46-17:52]

The cannons deployed on the flagship and fired. The monster rose to giant size.

[Gokaiger 18. 17:54]

It stood with six giant sized Kraves.

[End Sentai footage]

“Here it comes,†the woman told Paul.

[Gokaiger 18. 18:15-18:22]

He thrust his Morpher up.

In the future, a drill-like Zord was launched, flying from the city through a time portal, and arriving.

[Gokaiger 18. 18:24-18:26]

He put his feet together and leapt up for it.

[End Sentai footage]

He stood in a small silver, gold and blue cockpit with a silver console in front of him, similar to the command center. He put his hand on it, activating it.

[Gokaiger 18. 18:32-18:41]

The drill began to spin as he piloted it forward.

The monster threw his arm forward, “Kraves!â€

They fired, but missed.

[Gokaiger 18. 18:42-18:46]

The Zord returned fire, taking two back.

[Gokaiger 18. 18:47]

The drill went low, taking out their legs.

[Gokaiger 18. 18:49-18:53]

He span around again, taking one down with another leg sweep. It exploded.

[End Sentai footage]

“Alright!†he shouted, “This is great!†He looked at the console, “Q-Rex Drill Megazord? Ok then,†he said.

[Gokaiger 18. 18:57-19:02]

He drilled one in the legs and tossed it back, destroying it.

[End Sentai footage]

“Let’s try this,†he said, hitting a few things on screen.

[Gokaiger 18. 19:10-19:28]

It flew forward, dropping its drill into the ground. Legs came out and it landed, bringing up into a dinosaur form, the drill as its tail.

[Gokaiger 18. 19:30-19:35]

The Megazord span around, using its tail to take one down, and then nudging another.

[Gokaiger 18. 19:36-19:38]

It bit one, but one grabbed its tail.

[Gokaiger 18. 19:39-19:42]

The drill span, knocking it back. The Megazord span around, taking both back.

[Gokaiger 18. 19:43-19:48]

Another tail drill tore through one more Krave.

[Gokaiger 18. 19:49-19:53]

An energy blast erupted from the mouth, destroying another.

[End Sentai footage]

“Alright, this is working!†he said excitedly, “Now then…â€

[Gokaiger 18. 19:55-20:02]

The Megazord turned to the monster and last few Kraves. The Kraves fired, but the Megazord pushed through.

[End Sentai footage]

He hit some more keys on his console, “Let’s try this then!â€

[Gokaiger 18. 20:08-20:27]

The Megazord shifted around, becoming humanoid and becoming a proper warrior mode.

[Gokaiger 18. 20:33-20:41]

The remaining Kraves ran forward, taking slashes from the drill arm.

[Gokaiger 18. 20:42-20:46]

A powered drill slashed into one.

[Gokaiger 18. 20:48]

A piece clicked into place.

[Gokaiger 18. 20:49-20:57]

The Megazord lifted the one on the drill and the one bit with the dinosaur head, and span them. It threw them, destroying them.

[Gokaiger 18. 21:00-21:04]

The drill was thrust forward and snapped open into a trident.

[Gokaiger 18. 21:05-21:13]

A powered trident came across the monster’s chest, taking it back with a shout.

The monster shouted, “Try this!†it screamed, firing an energy ball.

[Gokaiger 18. 21:15-21:16]

The opened trident blades span, reflecting it back at the monster, knocking it back.

[End Sentai footage]

“I think it’s time to take you down!†Paul shouted. He hit some more keys.

[Gokaiger 18. 21:28-21:43]

The three modes appeared side by side, and each one used its drill. They crashed into the monster, taking it down. It exploded as the Megazord turned away.

[End Sentai footage]


Jerox knocked the team to the ground again, even in their Legacy Modes. He laughed, “Come on! You’re not even trying!â€

“Paul beat his monster, even as a giant,†Troy said, “The five of us can stop you too!â€

“Then why haven’t you?†Jerox questioned.

A sword was thrown through the air, striking Jerox in the chest.

[Gokaiger 12. 19:36-19:37]

Jerox shouted in pain as he rolled.

[End Sentai footage]

A man in a red and black training uniform ran into view, “Rangers!†Jayden Shiba called, “He’s a swordsman! Use swords!â€

“Who are you?†Jake questioned.

“The Red Samurai Ranger,†Jayden answered, “I’ll explain later, but do it!â€

The Rangers nodded and held their hands out. Troy took the Rail Saber, while Jake took the Spiral Saber. The others kept their weapons.

(note: old suits used here)

The Rangers ran forward. Jake and Troy swung up, catching Jerox’s sword. They held it, grunting with effort.

The others ran in, slashing low through Jerox’s chest. Jake and Troy pushed up to move his sword and then span through his chest, slashing.

[Gokaiger 12. 19:40-19:42]

Jerox tried to get back up, but fell, “Why is this working for you?†he shouted.

[End Sentai footage]

Jayden ran forward, pulling his sword off the ground. He span around and slashed Jerox across the chest once, and then span and slashed him the other way before stepping through.

The Rangers came to Jayden’s side (note: normal suits, Legacy Mode). They watched as Jerox fell to the ground.

“I saw a bit of your earlier fight,†Jayden admitted, “All of us…we’ve been fighting. We’ve been trying to help you. This invasion is contained for now, but it could spread.â€

“Even with other Rangers helping, we’re still fighting this much?†Jake questioned.

“There are that many?†Emma questioned.

“Sadly, yes,†Jayden said. “We also have other problems. I couldn’t help earlier because the Nighlocks were acting up…â€

“Nighlocks?†Emma asked.

“Our enemies,†Jayden said, “We got most of them.†He stepped away from the Rangers, “Look, just keep pushing on. We’re all here for you, powers or not.â€

“Should we give you some weapons back?†Noah asked.

“We have some of your team’s weapons,†Emma said.

Jayden shook his head, “It’s fine.â€

[Gokaiger 12. 20:09-20:13 (note: replace Gokaigers in foreground with Goseigers)]

The cannons fired, enlarging Jerox to giant size. He shouted as he grew.

[Gokaiger 12. 20:17-20:22]

Jerox shouted as he slashed through buildings, and turned to see them riding in on the Red Lion Zord.

[Gokaiger 12. 20:23-20:31]

“Wild Access!†they called as they tried their finishing attack, but he blocked it and started to send energy slashes their way.

[Gokaiger 12. 20:32]

They took hits.

[Gokaiger 12. 20:35-20:36]

And more hits.

[Gokaiger 12. 20:37-20:40]

They slid to a stop.

[End Sentai footage]

On the ground, Jayden held his brush. He began to draw and sent it flying, “Here’s some Symbol Power to help you!â€


In the cockpit, there was a light on their consoles, “This is…,†Noah muttered.

“Can it work?†Gia asked.

He nodded.

“Then do it,†Troy said.

[Gokaiger 12. 20:51-21:21]

The Megazord reformed with the Lion, becoming a Samurai-themed Megazord.

“Samurai Pirate Megazord!†they called.

“Kraves!†Jerox shouted, summoning many.
[Gokaiger 12. 21:25-21:28]

The Megazord started to cut through them.

[Gokaiger 12. 21:29-21:30]

And more.

[Gokaiger 12. 21:30-21:32]

And more.

[Gokaiger 12. 21:33-21:34]

And more.

[Gokaiger 12. 21:35-21:44]

And more, and then span to finish the rest. It leapt through the fire for Jerox.

[Gokaiger 12. 21:45-21:51]

Their attack sent Jerox flying back with a shout.

[End Sentai footage]

“Let’s end it,†Troy said.

[Gokaiger 12. 21:53-21:58]

Jerox rose as a giant version of the Fire Smasher appeared with the Megazord.

[Gokaiger 12. 21:59-22:11]

The slash came down, on fire. “Go Go Samurai!†they shouted as they destroyed Jerox and turned away from him.

[End Sentai footage]

“The other Rangers are still fighting,†Jake said as they all returned to base, “We have to feel good about that!â€

“We should be redoubling our efforts,†Troy said, “I know that it hasn’t worked before, but now we know the others are out there. I say we push it hard for a bit, and see what happens. We have to be thinning them out soon!â€

“Ok,†Gia said, “I’ll be willing to try.â€

“Me too,†Paul said somewhat eagerly.

“I guess,†Jake said.

Emma nodded, “Yeah.â€

Noah nodded a little slower, “I guess so.â€

“Then it’s decided,†Troy said, “We’ll fight with our predecessors, and we’ll save this city as fast as we can. Things can only get better now.â€

They all nodded and set off their own ways.

Chapter 9: Ninja Storm, Mega Form

A crack opened in the ground, and a hand shot out, taking grip. Soon another hand came; the opposite hand of the same figure. He started to pull, and drew himself onto the ground, out of the crack. His armor was shark-themed.

Then another set of hands appeared, and he pulled himself out as well, dropping onto the ground next to the other figure. He wore what appeared to be a mask, and carried a Japanese theme.

“It worked,†the shark figure stated. He turned, “Shimazu, how do you feel?â€

“I feel ready for revenge,†Shimazu said, “After so long in the Abyss of Evil, how could I not be, Vexacus? Isn’t it like the old days?â€

“Aside from failing to overthrow that buffoon Lothor…†Vexacus laughed, “It’s time. Let’s go…â€


“That’s weird,†Paul said.

“What is it?†Gia asked him, walking into the cave.

He turned back to look at her, and then stepped aside to show her what was on the screen, “This energy spike.â€

“Were you looking for something?†she asked him.

He shook his head, “No, I wasn’t. I was just trying to create a system that might alert us to the appearance of energy spikes, like the arrival of a new monster or something. Mostly so we don’t get taken by surprise, or so we can take the fight to them.â€

Gia nodded, “And what’s weird about this spike?â€

“This spike came from Blue Bay Harbor,†Paul told her, “Nowhere near here.â€

“Could it be that they’re attacking there to try to draw us away?†Gia asked.

“Maybe…,†he looked to her, “Do we even know why they’re attacking Harwood?â€

“No, we don’t,†she said, crossing her arms, “And that’s a problem.â€

“Then we should try to capture one of them,†Paul suggested, “Capture one and get information.â€

“I don’t think any random soldier would know anything,†Gia said, “And since we wounded the Prince, I don’t think he’ll be back.â€

“There are others,†Paul said, “Do they not come to Earth?â€

“No,†she said, “Not anymore. Hexatrix used to sometimes, and Vrak…â€

Paul sighed, “We’ll get a shot eventually. At least, I hope…â€

“For now we should try to figure out that spike,†Gia said.

Paul nodded, “Yeah, I’m working on it.â€


Dravo stood ahead of Vexacus and Shimazu, sword in hand, a troop of Metins and Kraves at his back.

“Who are you?†Shimazu questioned.

“Move aside, now!†Vexacus told him, “We’ve been waiting so long to return, and nobody is getting in our way.â€

“I don’t intend to get in your way,†Dravo told them. He plunged his sword into the ground and walked towards them, “I intend to meet with you.â€

“Meet with us?†Shimazu questioned.

“You two are powerful,†he said, “I don’t know who you are, or where you came from, but I want you to join our cause.â€

“You yourself just said we’re powerful,†Vexacus said, “You don’t know who we are, yet you want us. We could betray you.â€

“You’re powerful, but I’m stronger than both of you,†Dravo told them.

“Then why bring soldiers?†Shimazu questioned.

“Formality,†he replied.

“Then let’s do the same,†Shimazu said. A small troop of Kelzaks appeared with them. The Metins and Kraves tensed, ready to fight.

“No,†Dravo said, looking back at his troops. He looked back at the two warriors, “Join with the Vago Empire, and help us destroy the Power Rangers.â€

“Rangers?†Shimazu questioned.

“There are Rangers in your way?†Vexacus questioned, “Then by all means, we shall join you. For the time being.â€

“Excellent,†Dravo hissed.


The teens ran through a chunk of the destroyed section of city, looking around, “Paul?†Troy asked.

Paul looked at a small device in his hand, “It’s just around here…â€

Noah held his hand out, “Let me try.â€

Paul handed it to him, and Noah worked on it a bit. “There,†he said, looking at them, “Up ahead.â€

“How did you do that?†Paul asked.

“I’m better at software I guess. It’s a common mistake you had going.â€

Paul nodded, “Alright,†he said, running with the others.

As they rounded the corner they saw Metins, Kraves and Kelzaks.

“What are those new ones?†Jake questioned.

“Cam mentioned them,†Noah said, “They’re Kelzaks.â€

“Why are they here, though?†Emma asked.

“I don’t know,†Noah said, “But let’s not let that stop us.â€

They all nodded and drew their Morphers to summon their weapons. They all ran into the battle.

Paul swung both ends of his trident out to block the blades of two Kelzaks. He span around, swinging low to take out hteir legs, and then he swung down into one. He rammed his weapon back into a Metin’s chest to stagger it, and span around to kick it.

Emma rolled under a Metin’s swing and lifted her weapon, firing twice into its chest. She span to catch the weapon of a Kelzak on her weapon and then pushed back to give her space. She fired into the Kelzak’s chest.

Noah spun his bowgun around to block a Krave’s claw. He pushed back and then rolled under a Metin’s swing. He came to his knees and fired three times, bending one shot into the back of the Metin, and one into the back of the Krave, while the other hit it head on.

Gia used her claw to catch two Metin axes and then pushed back. She span around and slashed them across the chest as she went down lower. She came around and high kicked a Kelzak’s hand to make it drop its weapon, and then came in with the claw to the chest.

Jake span his axe around to make the two Kelzaks and the Metin back away. He gave a side kick to the Metin and then span around to swing low to uproot a Kelzak’s footing. He drove the flat of his axe into the other Kelzak and then span to take down the approaching Metin with a swing of the axe.

Troy was spinning around to drive back the Metins and Kraves at him. He slashed one Kelzak across the chest and then kicked a Metin back. He drew his sword down and followed his kick up with a thrust. He span around and gave a parry to a Kelzak blade, and then a thrust to take it down.

The Rangers came together as their enemies regrouped.

“Let’s put them together,†Troy said, “UnMorphed.â€

Before they could start, the entire unit was destroyed in a flash.

“What was that?†Emma called.

[Gokaiger 25. 9:53-9:55]

Shimazu stood there, with Vexacus at his side, crouched, coming up with sword in hand.

[Gokaiger 25. 9:59]

“My skill is still sharp,†Vexacus said.

[End Sentai footage]

“Who are these guys?†Jake questioned.

“They…I think they fought Cam’s team,†Noah said.

[Gokaiger 25. 10:02-10:03]

“Here we come!†they called, drawing their weapons up. They rushed forward.

[End Sentai footage]

“Mega Morph!†the five shouted.

“Silver Energize!†Paul shouted.

The six ran forward as they flashed and Morphed, weapons still in hand.

Noah, Paul and Gia reached Vexacus first and met his blade, while the others met with Shimazu and his staff.

Vexacus wasn’t struggling at all as he slashed and parried at the Rangers. He kicked Noah back and then ducked a swing of Paul’s trident and slashed him in the back. He caught Gia’s claw and kicked her up, then back as she fell.

“You’re too inexperienced to fight someone like me,†Vexacus said.

“We’ve been fighting long enough!†Gia shouted at him. She looked at Noah and the two nodded, running forward with their new weapons in hand, wearing the armor of their mentors.

Paul came up, swinging his weapon down, “I don’t have armor like that, but that’s not stopping me!†he shouted as he ran for Vexacus.

Vexacus turned and slashed the trident down. He span around and swung his sword up to catch both enemy swords. He took two steps back and then shouted, pushing forward to push their weapons off, and then cut them across their chests.

Shimazu swung his staff around and span, knocking the Rangers weapons away. “You can’t get me!†he laughed, thrusting his staff towards their fallen weapons, as if prodding them.

Troy, Emma and Jake just leapt for Shimazu, shouting as they flashed, now wearing their Legacy Mode armor and new weapons.

“That’s not supposed to happen!†Shimazu shouted as he was taken by surprise and thrown back.

“Let’s finish him!†Troy shouted, lifting the Dragon Dagger as he ran for Shimazu.

Vexacus turned, “You fool!†he shouted at his comrade. He kicked Paul back and leapt for the others, skidding past them, sword out.

The three Rangers stopped and fell, shouting. It was the same slash as earlier, except used against enemies this time.

Vexacus came to his feet and turned to the Rangers, lowering his sword, “You can’t beat us. Is that Empire so weak?†He looked at Shimazu, “I’m going to end this all right now.â€

Shimazu nodded and moved away.

“What’s he talking about?†Troy questioned as the team came together. Kelzaks came around them and attacked.

[Gokaiger 25. 17:24-17:38]

“Now then, feel my power!†He thrust his sword down and drew out a fan, which he drew around himself. He glowed and began to grow to massive size, laughing.

Paul looked up as he fought some Kelzaks, “This isn’t good.â€

[End Sentai footage]

Shimazu lifted his staff towards the Rangers.

“Can you get it, Paul?†Troy asked.

[Gokaiger 25. 17:46-17:47]

Paul cut a Kelzak down and clenched his fist, “Got it!â€

[End Sentai footage]

He drew down his Morpher and hit a button. “Q-Rex!â€

[Gokaiger 25. 17:50-18:11]

The drill mode came out of the time portal, and he leapt inside.

The Zord shifted to its full warrior mode and stood against Vexacus.

The monster ran forward and shouted, jumping to get a slash in, then landing his sword on the Megazord’s shoulder.

[Gokaiger 25. 18:13-18:14]

The drill arm of the Megazord knocked the sword back.

[End Sentai footage]

Shimazu swung his staff down as he backed away from the Rangers, “None of you know how powerful we are. Your friend is as good as destroyed.â€

“We have faith in him,†Troy said, lifting his Dragon Dagger, “And we have faith in each other not to lose to you!â€

“Ha!†Shimazu laughed as he ran in at them.

[Gokaiger 25. 18:21-18:22]

As the Megazord attempted to swing down, Vexacus dashed through and thrust his blade through the Megazord’s chest.

[Gokaiger 25. 18:24-18:36]

The Megazord stumbled back, sparking and crashed into a building.

“You’re done,†Vexacus said, then lifted his blade to the Megazord’s head.

[End Sentai footage]


Elsewhere, a man hit a key on his keyboard. The key had the emblem of the Ninja Storm Rangers on it.


“Paul!†they all shouted from the ground as Shimazu attacked again.

[Gokaiger 25. 18:38-18:48]

Before Vexacus could attack, giant throwing stars got in his way, forcing his sword back.

The Megazord and Vexacus both looked aside, “What?†Vexacus shouted.

Clouds rolled in and a figure came riding out of them, holding throwing weapons in hand. It was a small green humanoid Zord.

[Gokaiger 25. 18:50]

The Megazord moved forward a little, looking.

[End Sentai footage]

Everyone looked up, “What is that?†Emma wondered.

“That’s…no, it can’t be…,†Noah muttered.

[Gokaiger 25. 19:05-19:10]

The Minizord rode in, throwing shuriken. Vexacus avoided them, but they exploded. The Minizord rode away after its attack run.

[Gokaiger 25. 19:11-19:25]

It rode up and then came back down, launching a series of kicks into Vexacus, who grunted in pain with each strike. Vexacus lost his sword as the Minizord flipped away.

It threw a series of shuriken into Vexacus, pinning him to the building, and then landed on the Megazord’s shoulder.

[End Sentai footage]

“Alright, let’s end it!†Paul shouted, triggering his finisher from his controls.

[Gokaiger 25. 19:29-19:38]

The three versions of the Zord appeared, using their triple drill attack to destroy Vexacus.

[Gokaiger 25. 19:40-19:43]

The Minizord flipped and posed on the shoulder of the Megazord.

[Gokaiger 25. 19:46-19:52]

It leapt onto its flying star again and flew away from the Megazord.

[End Sentai footage]

“Vexacus!†Shimazu screamed. He backed away from the Rangers and vanished.

“We got one of them,†Troy told the others, and looked back to see Paul running to join them, “For now that’s enough.â€


“That was one of the Ninja Storm team’s Zords,†Noah explained at the cave. He drew up a video (insert archive footage of Ninja Storm), “Cam told me about it. It looks different now, though.â€

“It was bigger, and green,†Paul said.

Noah nodded, “I guess Cam or someone else rebuilt or modified it.â€

“Who sent it though?†Gia asked.

“I’d assume it might be Cam,†Noah said, “But I can’t get ahold of him to ask.â€

“Well, it would make some sense,†Emma said, “He trained you, he gave you some of his power, and then one of their Zords appear to help us against some of their enemies.â€

“I’m just glad it came,†Paul said, “I don’t know if I could have beat Vexacus alone.â€

“We’d have done our best to get our Megazord up and running while fighting Shimazu,†Noah told him.

Paul nodded, “Well, at least it’s just one left now.â€

Noah walked out of the cave and onto the beach, holding Cam’s sword in his hands. He held it out in front of himself and closed his eyes. He took a breath and started to swing, remembering Troy’s lessons from the fight with Jerox, and remembering everything Cam taught him.

“Noah?†Gia asked.

“Hm?â€

She walked alongside him, “I learned martial arts from Casey, but if we were fighting the enemies of his team, I don’t think I’d be changing the way I fight.â€

“I feel like I should try to do what Cam has taught me,†Noah said.

“He taught you a lot, though,†she said, “He taught you inner focus. Use that, don’t feel the need to completely change the way you fight.â€

He slowly lowered the sword, “Yeah…this isn’t my fighting style.â€

“If you were Troy, I don’t think I’d be saying this. He’s the swordsman, after all. But…I think you’d be weaker if you did use that. I understand why you want to, but don’t.â€

“Yeah,†he turned the weapon around and drove the tip into the sand, “Yeah…you’re right.â€

Gia started to walk back towards the mouth of the cave. Noah took grip of Cam’s sword and followed after her.


“I should destroy you right now,†Dravo told Shimazu as he and the masked warrior stood in an alley, “But that would be wasting a resource.â€

“I can destroy them,†Shimazu told Dravo, “Even without Vexacus.â€

“Oh, can you?†Dravo questioned, “You fled.â€

“I saw him be destroyed. Next time I’ll finish them.â€

“We’ll finish them,†Dravo said.


As soon as Dravo and Shimazu appeared in town, the Rangers were running, already Morphed.

“You again!†Troy shouted at Dravo.

“Yes, me again,†he said, lifting his sword, “We can finish things this time.â€

Troy lifted his sword in response.

“I’ll fight Shimazu,†Noah said, “Cam trained me, after all.â€

“I’ll join you,†Paul said.

Gia nodded, “Me too.â€

“Then we’ll help you Troy,†Emma said.

Jake nodded.

The team split up and rushed for their enemies. Noah immediately switched to Legacy Mode, holding Cam’s sword.

He slashed for Shimazu, who used his staff to parry continuously. Noah span around and slashed out, sending a mini water tornado into Shimazu, blasting him back.

“What was that?†Shimazu shouted.

“The results of my training!†he shouted to Shimazu as he walked forward.

Paul stood beside him with the Lion Hammer, and Gia with the Thunder Staff. The three lifted their weapons and ran forward.


Troy’s sword clashed against Dravo’s. The Red Ranger tried to hold them in a lock, but he wasn’t faring very well. Jake and Emma came in from below, slashing the Snake Axe and Power Axe respectively into Dravo’s chest to stagger him back.

Troy nodded his thanks, lowering the Power Sword, “Thanks,†he said, leaping forward with both swords. He used one to parry and one to strike at Dravo, although Dravo was blocking everything that any of them tried to use.


Noah’s team ran for Shimazu (note: NS Green, Yellow, and female Navy suits) together, slashing down all at once, forcing Shimazu’s staff from his hands. He backed away, “No, no, no!â€

They all plunged their weapons forward, throwing him back with a lot of power.

Shimazu began to glow.

[Gokaiger 26. 18:05-18:06]

Shimazu laughed as he came to giant size.

[End Sentai footage]

As Troy’s team fought Dravo, he looked back, “We need to deal with him!†Troy shouted.

“Gia, go and help them,†Noah said, “I can control the Megazord myself.†He looked to Paul, “I need your help.â€

Both of them nodded. Gia switched out for Saba and her Legacy Mode as she ran to assist against Dravo, while the other two summoned their Zords.

[Gokaiger 26. 18:51-18:54]

The two Megazords stood in opposition of Shimazu, who swung his staff around.

[Gokaiger 26. 18:55-19:00]

The Pirate Megazord rushed forward, slashing, but Shimazu laughed as he deflected them and got a slash in with his staff.

[Gokaiger 26. 19:01-19:05]

The energized drill came for Shimazu, who managed to block and strike the Q-Rex Megazord.

[Gokaiger 26. 19:07-19:11]

As the Megazord fell back, Shimazu did a little dance while laughing, then threw his arms up, “Take this!†he shouted as a lightning-like blast came down on the two Megazords.

[End Sentai footage]

Noah shouted as he was tossed around in the cockpit. Paul did the same.

[Gokaiger 26. 19:21-19:28]

The Pirate Megazord moved in front as Shimazu leapt around, laughing and pointing at them, “You can’t beat me!â€

The Megazord looked down (note: remove Hurricangers in this shot)

[End Sentai footage]

Dravo smashed Troy back, and then caught Saba and grabbed Gia’s wrist. He span and threw her, then span to parry and slash the others down.

“Everyone…,†Noah muttered.


A hand reached over and hit the key again. It was Cam’s voice, “Noah, don’t worry. Help is coming.â€


[Gokaiger 26. 19:48-19:51]

From out of the newly formed clouds rode the Minizord once more.

[End Sentai footage]

“You came through, Cam,†Noah said.

[Gokaiger 26. 19:55-20:03]

Shimazu looked up, “Oh, you? I’m stronger than Vexacus was!â€

The Minizord threw its weapons, knocking Shimazu back, then rode to the two Megazords.

[Gokaiger 26. 20:05-20:08]

The Minizord flew above the Megazord and formed a hand signal.

[Gokaiger 26. 20:10-20:20]

The hand signals continued, forming the pirate logo, and then the logo of the Wind Rangers. The Minizord glowed and split into five glowing shuriken, which went to the limbs and chest of the Megazord.

[End Sentai footage]

Noah looked at his panel and typed, “Good job Cam, this will work.â€


“What’s going on up there?†Dravo hissed.

“Pay attention to us!†Troy shouted, loading his Shining Morph card into his Morpher on his hip. His body and swords shone gold as he raced forward in his Legacy Mode, slashing Dravo across the back, causing him to cry out and stumble away.

He fell, leaning on his sword, “Curse you,†he muttered, vanishing.

[Gokaiger 26. 20:22-20:39]

The Megazord lifted its arms and swung its legs out, shuriken unfolding out. The torso opened, loading a new torso piece and a new helmet. It took grip of a giant shuriken as it stood.

Shimazu drew his staff back.

[End Sentai footage]

“Storm Pirate Megazord!†Noah called.

The others came in from behind, taking their spots on their consoles, “This looks pretty cool,†Jake said.

Troy nodded, “Let’s use their power!â€

[Gokaiger 26. 20:42-20:47]

They slashed, taking Shimazu’s staff aside and getting a strong hit to his chest.

[Gokaiger 26. 20:49-20:58]

They span the giant shuriken out on a chain, then lashed it forward, taking down the staff and then slashing through his chest. He cried out.

[Gokaiger 26. 21:02-12:08]

A rain of shuriken came out from every compartment, smashing Shimazu.

[End Sentai footage]

Paul sat in his cockpit, “Guess you guys didn’t need me…,†he muttered.

[Gokaiger 26. 21:09-21:13]

Shimazu groaned, “You…won’t…win!†he called out weakly.

[Gokaiger 26. 21:17-21:40]

The Minizord was released, which began to make hand seals and summon copies of itself. Each copy flew forward, slashing with a giant shuriken.

“Minizord Storm!†they called, “Ninja Storm, Ranger Form, Ha!â€

Shimazu fell, “No! Not the Abyss again!†he groaned as he went down.

The Storm Pirate Megazord turned, and then the Minizord landed on its shoulder.

[End Sentai footage]


“Good job,†Cam’s voice said, “Support them from now on. Please.â€


The Rangers returned to the base, “Still no word from Cam,†Noah said as he looked at his phone and the console.

“But it had to be hght?†Emma asked.

“Probably,†Noah said, “But I wish he’d contact us.â€

“It’s the same with all of them,†Jake said, “Isn’t it?â€

“I haven’t reached anyone,†Troy said.

“I can’t even reach Trent,†Emma said a bit sadly.

“I wonder what they’re doing…,†Jake muttered.

“It has to be something important,†Gia said, “But I do wish we knew.â€


[Gokaiger 2. 6:10-6:14]

“You lost?†Hexatrix questioned Dravo on the bridge.

“I was taken by surprise,†Dravo told her.

“I haven’t lost to the Rangers yet.â€

“You have fled. You fought them after they were drained and weakened. There’s a difference.â€

“Yet I’m just a scientist, I can’t fight them like you can.â€

“Quiet,†he growled. He walked and looked down at the Earth, “Soon it’ll all be over. Soon the mines will be ready, and we’ll take the people as slaves. The Rangers will be scrambling, and then we’ll find and open the Door, and it’ll all be over…â€
