So, as with all of my projects, this is taken in a production-friendly style. Working with a theoretical budget, utilizing a mix of original footage and Sentai footage, all that stuff. I aim to do something that could be actually done and aired as a legitimate season.
I'm following Neo-Saban, so 20 episodes, 20 "super" episodes, a Halloween/Christmas episode in both ends. I'm also aiming more for Judd Lynn than Tzachor, obviously.
Utilizing HD TVNihon subs for timing purposes. Will update every Friday. If for some reason I can't, I will update it a day early or so.
1: Way of the Ninja, Part 1
[Note: During the narration, show the shadowed form of Kibaoni facing various black clad ninja, and matching the narration pieces given]
“Hundreds of years ago, the evil spirit General Vadra came from the spirit world. He led his dark forces out and started to attack the world. It was only thanks to the intervention of various hidden ninja schools that Vadra’s plans failed.
“The ninja banded together and utilized the hidden power of their Ninja Stars to seal Vadra and his forces back into the spirit world. The Stars locked the gate and so it remains, and will remain forever.â€
The middle aged Asian-American man closed his book and looked at the classroom before him. Only one seat was filled, and that was by a young dark haired man in a red and black shirt, who happened to be sleeping.
“Wyatt!†the man snapped as he slammed his book down.
Wyatt stirred and came up, looking at the teacher, “Yamashiro-sensei, I know this story,†Wyatt complained. He leaned back and stretched himself out in his chair, “This is basic stuff, like, day one stuff. This isn’t my first day.â€
“It’s always a good idea to review,†Yamashiro said, “As soon as you forget the past…â€
“It comes back and gets you,†Wyatt said.
“It comes back and you are unprepared,†Yamashiro said.
“Same thing,†Wyatt said. “But come on. This is the origin of this entire place,†he directed outwards at the room, “This academy was founded to train new ninja to stop Vadra from ever returning. I think I know the story since I’ve been here for so long.â€
Yamashiro sighed, “Wyatt…look around you. What do you see?â€
Wyatt looked around, then looked back at Yamashiro, “Empty seats?†he asked.
“Yes. Empty seats,†Yamashiro responded. He walked around his desk and through the empty aisles, “My father was a practitioner of the ninja arts, as was his father before him, and so on. My family was part of the ninja forces which sealed Vadra. I could have found a new path in my life, but I chose to follow the path that they followed. I decided to become a teacher to train the next generation of ninja. And now you’re the only one left.â€
“Yeah,†Wyatt said, nodding solemnly, “Why is that?â€
“Because there is no threat,†Yamashiro stated, “Vadra has been sealed for hundreds of years, along with his dark forces. There is no reason for ninja to exist anymore. While there were other students in the past, they all eventually realized that this was nothing more than a hobby, and moved on with their lives.â€
“This is my life,†Wyatt told him, “I am a ninja, and nothing more.â€
“There’s nothing for you in being a ninja,†Yamashiro said, “You can’t make a living off of it, and you can’t live your life like this.â€
“I can,†Wyatt said, “I mean, I can live my life like this. I…I don’t have the rest figured out yet.â€
“Now, I’m telling you the story about Vadra because I’m out of things to teach you,†Yamashiro said, “I want you to realize that you need to find your calling, and no, being a ninja is not your calling. It’s not a real calling, anyway.â€
Wyatt came to his feet, “So, are you telling me to leave?†he asked.
“I’m telling you that I can’t do much more for you,†Yamashiro stated, “I’m sorry.â€
“No, no, I get it,†Wyatt said, “I’ll have to think about things. Please, excuse me,†Wyatt told him, moving towards the door.
“Wyatt?†Yamashiro asked, but Wyatt left the room.
A young man was standing in what looked to be a medium sized gym or dojo. The walls were wood, and had various types of training weapons attached, including swords, staffs, nunchaku, and other weaponry. It had a lower ceiling with a skylight, and padded floors. There were large scrolls and flags hanging on the wall, including America’s flag, as well as Japan’s, Korea’s, and China’s.
Wyatt slid the door open and stepped inside after taking his boots off at the door. He looked up to see the man there. The blonde man turned around, dressed in a dark blue suit and blue tie, hands in his pockets.
“Wyatt?†the man asked with a British accent, “You’re visiting too?â€
“Oliver?†Wyatt asked, stepping inside, “Um, not exactly…â€
“What does that mean?†Oliver asked. He paused a moment, “You never left, did you?â€
Wyatt shook his head, “No. I stayed here.â€
“All this time?†Oliver asked, “Even after all of us left? How many people are still here?â€
“Um…just me,†Wyatt admitted.
“That doesn’t make sense,†Oliver told him, “You can only do so much as a ninja. This path no longer exists, not like in the days long ago. We all had to move on eventually, you knew that as well.â€
“I do know that, but I don’t know what to do with myself,†Wyatt told him.
“I was starting med school at the end,†Oliver said, “I’m getting closer to being a doctor.â€
“You’re making something good out of your life then,†Wyatt said, “I’m happy for you.â€
“Thank you,†Oliver said, “Where is Yamashiro-sensei?â€
“He should be in the classroom,†Wyatt said, “I just came from there.â€
“I’ll go that way then,†Oliver said, walking to the door. He slipped his dress shoes back on and looked back at the gym, “So many memories here, training.â€
Wyatt nodded, “Yeah…I miss all of you guys.â€
Oliver nodded, “That’s the hardest part of moving on, isn’t it? The separation from the people you spent so much time with.â€
Wyatt looked back, but Oliver was leaving the room. Wyatt sighed and looked around the training room, “I hate it when you’re right…but that was you, wasn’t it? The guy who was always right…â€
Wyatt was walking back and forth on the street outside of a school. He looked back as he heard the bell ring, and soon he saw students leaving. He stood there as they passed him by, and soon he saw a young dark haired woman talking to two friends. They were laughing as they walked.
Wyatt lifted his hand and waved, “Alice!†he called, waving to get her attention.
The girl looked at her friends, “I’m sorry,†she said, “I’ll catch up, I promise.â€
The two split off from her as she went to go see Wyatt. Wyatt was smiling broadly when she approached, “How was school?†he asked.
She grabbed his arm and pulled him away, across the street. She let go of him and stared at him, “Why are you here?†she questioned.
“What do you mean by that?†Wyatt questioned, “We’ve been friends since we were children. Why wouldn’t I want to come see you?â€
“I’m a high school senior and have to focus on my studies,†she said, “I have friends my own age who don’t know that I’m friends with a guy two years older than me who’s in…,†she looked around, then whispered to him, “ninja training.â€
“You did it too,†he said.
“Until I realized I had to focus on school,†she said, “That was a hobby more than anything. I didn’t even think it was real! And then it turned out that all of it was, and I realized just how serious everything could be if that seal ever broke. I had a life I needed to get back to.â€
He sighed, “Oliver came back,†Wyatt said.
“Oliver? Really? I thought he went home,†Alice said.
“Well, he’s back,†Wyatt said, “I’m the only student left, and…and Yamashiro-sensei is telling me to find something to do with my life. I…I don’t know what to do with myself. Honestly, I don’t.â€
“You could go to college,†she said.
“You know I hate school,†Wyatt said, “I always had you help me in high school.â€
“Yeah, and that helped me get really good grades now that I’m a senior,†she said, “I had a preview of what was coming. Wyatt, I can’t help you find a path in your life. Only you can do that.â€
“Wait, isn’t Ridge here too? You two are in the same grade, right?†he asked.
She shook her head , “We hang out together, but he’s a year younger than me. Why? Do you think he can help you?â€
“I don’t know, but I’m hoping so,†Wyatt said.
“Seriously Wyatt, you need to figure it out yourself. We can’t tell you what to do with your life. But Yamashiro-sensei is right; you need to find something to do with yourself.â€
“I know, I know…,†Wyatt muttered.
“I need to go see my friends,†Alice said, “I’ll talk to you later,†she told him, running off.
He sighed as he watched her go. He scratched the back of his head, “Ok then…I guess I need to find Ridge somewhere…†He looked around and then ran back across the street and towards the school.
Wyatt looked around the hallways, then poked his head into a room. There were a few people inside, playing chess. One of the players was a young African American man. He moved his knight and shouted, “Yes! Checkmate!â€
The other player sighed and shook his head, “Sorry to break it to you Ridge.†He moved a piece, “Checkmate.â€
“Wait, what?†Ridge asked. He looked at the board and leaned back in his seat, “Oh come on! I thought I had you in checkmate! I need to pay more attention…â€
Wyatt walked into the room, “Ridge, I thought you learned better.â€
They all looked to Wyatt. Ridge smiled, “Wyatt! It’s been a while since I last saw you!â€
Wyatt smiled, “Same to you,†he said. Ridge got out of his seat and hurried over, “How have you been?†Wyatt asked.
“I’ve been great. I still hang out with Alice.†He looked back at the others in the room, “I joined the chess club. Clearly I have a lot to learn.â€
“You do,†his opponent said, “You could have won in a few more moves if you’d played carefully. But you misread it entirely and assumed you had checkmate. Bad play.â€
“Ok, maybe chess isn’t quite my game,†Ridge said.
“Then why join the club?†Wyatt asked.
Ridge shrugged, “I thought I’d be good at it.â€
“You want to go somewhere to talk?†Wyatt asked.
Ridge nodded, “Yeah, let’s go.â€
Ridge and Wyatt walked on the school track. They were alone.
“You’re the only student left?†Ridge asked.
Wyatt nodded, “Yeah, unfortunately. I wish there were others around.â€
“So you never moved on?†Ridge asked, “Really?â€
“Why does everyone harp on that?†Wyatt asked, “First Yamashiro-sensei, then Oliver, then…â€
“Wait, Oliver is in the country?†Ridge asked.
Wyatt nodded, “Yeah, he was visiting.â€
“Maybe I should drop by. I always liked him,†Ridge said.
“You should just drop by in general, even if Oliver’s not around,†Wyatt said, “I’m the only student, after all. I’m sure Yamashiro-sensei would love to see you, or, well, anyone.â€
“You know, I did consider going back during the summer,†Ridge said, “I tried to talk Alice into it as well.â€
“And why didn’t you come back?†Wyatt asked.
“Because I thought that if I went back…I wouldn’t want to leave again.†They both stopped walking. Ridge faced Wyatt, “There are too many memories there. I couldn’t go back or I might not have left again. I’m sorry Wyatt.â€
Ridge started back towards the school. Wyatt looked after him, “Ridge!â€
“I don’t know what you should do with your life!†he called back, “You have to figure it out yourself!â€
Wyatt let out a breath. He looked down the track and saw that people were putting hurdles out, “Guess they’re getting ready for track,†he said. He let out a sigh and started to run. As soon as he reached the first hurdle he leapt up, flipped in the air, and landed and kept running. The track members around started to applaud as he flipped over the various hurdles.
Ridge stopped and looked back. He smiled, “Showoff.†He kept walking.
“Alice said you’d probably be here.â€
Wyatt looked back to see a young woman approaching him. She was Asian-American and dark haired. A smile came to his face, “So she really does worry about me. Glad to see you do too, Rachel.â€
Rachel slowed herself as she approached him. They were in the woods and there were targets strung up around them in the trees. “Of course I worry,†she said, “Especially if you’re doing throwing star practice. It never seemed to be your strong suit.â€
Wyatt chuckled, “I’ve improved,†he said. He threw a silver star out and landed it in the center of the target. He span around and threw another one, landing another direct hit. He span, but tripped as he threw the next.
Rachel threw her arm out and caught it between her fingers, “You slipped,†she said.
“Yeah…,†he said, picking himself up, “May I?†he held his hand out.
She threw her arm out and threw the star into another target, “No, you may not,†she said. She smiled at him, “You did improve.â€
“Well, when you’re the only student, you’re bound to get better,†he said.
“Alice told me everything,†she said, “She really is worried about you.â€
“I don’t suppose you can give me advice on what to do with my life,†he said.
She shook her head, “Aside from college with me, no,†she told him.
“I’m not a big fan of school,†Wyatt told her.
“I remember,†she said, “Except ninja training.â€
“Well, of course,†Wyatt said, “Because unlike school, ninja training is exciting and fun.â€
“And incredibly dangerous,†she said.
“Being a ninja comes with risks,†he said.
“Except ninjas don’t exist anymore,†she told him, “You have the skills, but it isn’t a profession anymore.â€
“You sound like Oliver,†he told her.
She smiled, “Well, he and I did see eye to eye on a lot of things.â€
“No wonder he had that crush on you,†Wyatt said.
She laughed, “Oh, now you tell me,†she said sarcastically, “I should have gone for it when I had the chance. Especially with that dreamy British accent…â€
Both of them laughed. He slowly stopped, “Glad he wasn’t here to hear me say that.â€
“Wait, are you serious?†she asked.
He nodded, “Of course, a number of us boys had gotten together for a party one night and that was truth or dare. He might have been lying.â€
“Lying? About a crush on me? There’s no way anyone could do such a thing,†she said with complete confidence.
He smiled, “No, that would be impossible.â€
She let out a breath, “Look, jokes aside, you do need something with your life.â€
“The Wind and Thunder Ninja Academies still operate,†Wyatt told her.
“And that was over a decade ago that they had any real purpose,†she said, “Ninja don’t need to exist. Find a path in life, please Wyatt, I’m begging you. You’re my friend, and I don’t want to find out that you wasted your entire life like this.â€
He nodded a little, “Yeah…the problem is that I don’t know what to do…â€
“I can’t help you,†she said, “I’m sure this is a common theme, but none of us can help you. Don’t go reaching out to others either. Nobody can help. You have to find your own way.â€
“Fine, fine,†he said.
“Now then, I’m going to the academy. I want to see Yamashiro-sensei and Oliver.â€
“Oh, so you really want to see if that crush is real,†Wyatt joked.
She smiled a little and started to walk off. Wyatt ran after her.
[Establishing shot of academy building]
Rachel and Wyatt opened the doors to the training room and found Yamashiro and Oliver there, sparring with wooden swords. Oliver was keeping up against every attack the sensei made and didn’t appear to be struggling.
“You’re still just as good as the day you left,†Yamashiro said as he lowered his weapon.
Oliver lowered his as well, “I’m the type who doesn’t forget,†Oliver told him.
Yamashiro looked to the door, “Rachel, two visitors in one day, I’m impressed.â€
Rachel bowed to him, “Yamashiro-sensei,†she said. She looked to Oliver, “Hello Oliver.â€
Oliver nodded, “Nice to see you again Rachel.â€
Rachel walked towards them, “I heard that there was an interesting truth you gave at a party one night.â€
Oliver looked over to Wyatt, then back to Rachel, “That was two years ago,†he said.
“Flattered,†she said, “But glad to know it’s behind us.â€
Yamashiro looked at the, then looked to Wyatt, “Where have you been?â€
“Talking to people,†Wyatt said, “Trying to think.â€
The doors opened again. They all looked back to see Alice and Ridge enter.
“After Wyatt talked to us, we thought we’d visit,†Alice said. Her eyes moved to Rachel and Oliver, “Rachel? You’re here too?â€
Yamashiro smiled, “Let’s go somewhere else. It’s nice to have a group again.â€
They all sat in the classroom, but the desks had been moved aside for a central table they all sat around.
“I’m glad to know all of you have moved on and found things to do with your lives,†Yamashiro told them, “Just keep at it. Visit when you can, I get lonely.â€
“I’m here,†Wyatt told him.
“I can’t just talk to you every day,†he said.
Alice smiled, “I know the feeling. No offense, Wyatt.â€
He sighed, “And you’re my best friend too…â€
Ridge smiled, “I’ll probably be back during the summer,†he told Yamashiro, “I’ve been wanting to come back, but my studies get in the way.â€
“School is important,†Yamashiro said, “I don’t blame you.â€
“I’ll be able to visit as well,†Oliver said, “My program is going to be in America now. I transferred. I’ll be living here in Crest Falls now.â€
“You will be?†Wyatt asked, “That’s great!â€
“I won’t be training with you,†Oliver said, “My medical school comes first. I don’t have time to train.â€
“You were always one of the best students here,†Ridge said, “I always looked up to you and tried to do what you did.â€
“Emulation isn’t great,†Rachel said, “You need to do your own thing. Besides, if you can’t meet the other’s standards, then you’ll just fall farther and harder.â€
“Good point,†Ridge said.
“If Ridge comes back for the summer, I might as well,†Alice said, “Especially if I leave for college after this semester.â€
“You won’t go to college here?†Rachel asked, “I was hoping you would…â€
“The college here is good,†Alice said, “But I need a change.â€
“Why didn’t I know about this?†Wyatt asked, “We’ve been best friends since childhood…â€
“Sorry…,†she said softly, “It’s just…I didn’t know how to tell you.â€
There was a high pitched sound. Yamashiro rose quickly from his seat, knocking his chair over.
“Yamashiro-sensei?†Oliver asked.
“What’s wrong?†Ridge asked.
“I…I don’t know,†he admitted. He hurried to the desk and pulled something out that looked like a mirror. “This…†There was a hazy darkness over the glass. He looked to the students, “Come with me, hurry!â€
They all got out of their chairs and ran out after him.
A yellow and white foxlike monster stood in a field. It held its hand out and started to chant softly. Smoke rose from the ground and formed under the monster’s hand, and then it formed into a golden hammer which it took grip of.
“Yes,†it said in a feminine voice, “The Mallet of Summoning. One of the many lost ninja weapons of old.†She looked at the field and lifted the mallet. She thrust it down with a cry and then the lingering smoke was gone, “And now it is no more.†She chuckled as she walked away from the field.
Yamashiro and the others stopped at the field and looked around.
“This is where the great battle with General Vadra took place, isn’t it?†Rachel asked.
“It is,†Yamashiro said, “Many old ninja weapons were lost here, with all their power. They were destroyed.â€
“But what was that mirror signifying?†Oliver asked.
“Someone was using the power here,†Yamashiro said, “I don’t sense anything…there’s always been a presence here, but it’s gone. Someone either took all of it, or they destroyed it.â€
“What was here that was so important?†Alice asked.
“Oh no…,†Yamashiro muttered, “No, no…â€
“I don’t like the sound of this,†Ridge said.
“The Mallet of Summoning was here,†Yamashiro said, “It can break Vadra’s seal!â€
“But if the weapons were destroyed, then does it matter?†Oliver asked.
“They could be reformed with enough power,†he told Oliver.
“Then why didn’t you reform them and seal them?†Wyatt asked.
“Because they were safer here. I should be the only one capable of raising them back.â€
“I guess you’re not,†Rachel said, “And that means we should hurry.â€
Yamashiro nodded, “We need to get to Vadra’s seal, now!†He took off running, still holding the mirror. The others ran after him.
The group reached a rock outcropping coming from the ground. Yamashiro looked around, “Ok, it’s still sealed. I can still feel the power here.â€
“So, does that mean whoever has the Mallet hasn’t gotten here yet?†Ridge asked.
“It’s also possible that whoever has it doesn’t have the power to undo the seal,†Yamashiro said, “We could be safe.â€
“But if they had the power to restore the Mallet, shouldn’t they have the power to undo the seal?†Rachel asked, “Or is it that much of a jump in power levels?â€
“It’s a huge jump,†Yamashiro said, “I think we’re safe.â€
[Ninninger 1. 8:12-8:20]
The fox stood behind some rocks with the Mallet in her hands. She moved her hand around the back of it, chanting.
She drew her hand back and drew a single finger up, “Ninja Technique,†she span around with the Mallet overhead, then swung it outwards, “Seal Break!â€
[End Sentai footage]
As the group stood there, the sky darkened.
“What is this?†Alice questioned.
“No…,†Yamashiro said. He threw his hands forward into a ninja hand sign, “Ninja Technique! Seal Strengthen!â€
He stared straight ahead and glowed a little. His breathing quickened. In a few moments he fell backwards and grunted.
“It’s…it’s too late…,†he said weakly.
[Ninninger 1. 8:23-8:27]
Darkness seeped out of the stone, and then ninja stars flew out as well.
[Ninninger 1. 8:30-8:34]
A glowing figure was in the darkness in the sky, letting out a cry, “After hundreds of years I’m free!â€
[End Sentai footage]
“Is that him?†Wyatt yelled, “Is that General Vadra?â€
Yamashiro nodded, “It’s him…†The mirror in his hand shattered.
“This is why I left being a ninja!†Alice shouted, “I didn’t want to do this if he awakened again.â€
Rachel put her arm around Alice, “It’s ok to be afraid. I am too.â€
Ridge nodded, “Yeah…â€
“Only a fool wouldn’t be afraid,†Oliver said.
“I’m not afraid!†Wyatt shouted.
[Ninninger 1. 8:42-8:47]
“You should all fear me once I return to full power!†he roared.
[End Sentai footage]
The darkness faded and the six looked around at each other.
“Ok, stupid question, but what now?†Ridge asked.
“We fight back now!†Wyatt said.
“Whoa, you sound a little too excited there,†Alice told him, “This is serious, you realize that, right?â€
“Yeah, I do,†he assured her, “But look, there are six of us here, and we’re all trained as ninja. We can stop him before it gets out of hand!â€
“No, we can’t,†Yamashiro said, “We need all of those Ninja Stars that were released,†he told them, “Those were spelled to seal him. He can’t be destroyed, so we need to seal him again, but those Stars were scattered. We need all of them.â€
“How many are there?†Ridge asked.
“I’ll need to consult some old documents,†he told Ridge, “I don’t know, and it’s not in the history of our arts. I need the source documents. They’re in the woods, come with me.â€
The six ran off, and the fox stepped down from behind the rocks, “Run,†she said, “Run to your dooms.â€
Yamashiro pointed ahead, “There! That building up ahead!â€
Sitting in the woods was a wooden structure that looked somewhat like a temple.
As they nearly reached it, blue armored creatures came out from behind the trees and lifted spears. The six slowed and looked around as they became surrounded.
The fox landed atop the building and laughed, “Thank you for leading me to this place,†she said, rising to her full height, “My name is Amrion. I am the one who broke General Vadra’s seal, and I will ensure that he revives to full power.†She threw her arms to her sides, “Now, my Tyvings, attack!â€
The blue creatures attacked the six. Wyatt moved and blocked their spears before kicking them away.
Ridge ducked and shouted as he avoided their attacks. He grabbed a spear and yanked it free before using it to ram the other end into a few of the Tyvings chests.
Oliver moved swiftly through their attacks and struck them in their heads with quick blows.
Alice struggled and barley avoided some attacks. She slid under one and swept its legs out before kicking one higher up in the chest.
Rachel fought well, avoiding their spears with dodges or blocks before using the spears to turn them away and shove them around.
Yamashiro blocked every spear with his arms and moved quickly forward, taking out each one with swift blows.
Soon they were all forced together.
“There are too many,†Oliver muttered.
Yamashiro looked around, then he looked at the building. He threw his hands forward, “Ninja Technique! Summon!â€
In a poof of smoke he held a wrist-brace in his hands, along with a red ninja star. He span around, “Wyatt!â€
Wyatt caught the two items as Yamashiro threw them. He looked at them, “What are these?â€
“A Strike Star Morpher and the Red Ranger Ninja Star! Use them!â€
[Note: The Strike Star Morpher is a Morphing Brace from Go-Busters, but the glasses piece is solid colored, and there’s a small node in the center circular area for the Star to mount]
“But where did it come from?†Wyatt questioned.
“I’ll explain later! Do it! Follow your instincts!â€
He looked at them curiously, “Um…â€
Amrion leapt off of the building and there was a flash underneath her.
The six humans lifted their arms as they heard an explosion.
“No!†Wyatt shouted, throwing the red star out.
[Ninninger 1. 1:00-1:04]
Tyvings were in front of the burning, destroyed building
The red star flew through the Tyvings, own. Others looked to their fallen allies.
[End Sentai footage]
Wyatt put the brace on his left wrist and caught the star again before he affixed it on top of the wrist-brace. He reached for it, took grip of the star, and thrust his arm up as he span the star, shouting. He ran through the groups of Tyvings and slid to a stop away from the others.
“Be careful!†Yamashiro shouted.
[Ninninger 1. 1:13-1:34]
The Tyvings drew their heads back as a red flash blinded them. Wyatt stood in the center of the red glow, wearing a red ninja uniform. He lifted his sword, “I’ll bring you all down!†he shouted as he drew his sword to his shoulder.
He leapt into the group and started to fight his way through them before throwing his star.
[Ninninger 1. 1:38-2:09 (note: edit in lasers)]
He continued to fight them through the woods, with or without his sword. He laughed and shouted the entire time.
He avoided blasts from some in trees and returned the attacks with more stars.
“This is pretty awesome power!†he shouted.
[Ninninger 1. 2:17-2:46]
Wyatt continued to fight the Tyvings, “Let’s do this.†He hit a button and began to glow red, “All this power is amazing!†he shouted as he slashed through them all in a red blur.
He landed away from them as they exploded, “That was intense!â€
[End Sentai footage]
Wyatt walked towards the others in his red Ranger form and nodded, “So…how do I get this off?†he asked.
Yamashiro looked at all of them, “We have a long ways to go,†he said. He looked back to Wyatt, “I just hope all of you are going to be as enthusiastic as he is.â€
“What does that mean?†Oliver asked.
“You want all of us to fight?†Rachel questioned.
Yamashiro nodded, “I do,†he said, “And I hope you will. I know you all have lives, but our greatest enemy has returned. This is why you trained, as a theoretical situation, of course, but now it’s happened. Can I count on all of you?â€
The four looked at each other as Wyatt stood with Yamashiro.
Amrion stood on a tree branch and thrust her hand out, “Goodbye.â€
All six of them looked down and saw a spark.
“Run!†Yamashiro shouted, pushing them away as the spark exploded.
“Yamashiro-sensei!†they all screamed through the explosion.
“There, now General Vadra will have no real enemies,†Amrion laughed as she vanished.

Of note, I chose to replace the Morpher as I was writing like episode 4. It was originally done with the actual swords, but I preferred the idea of changing it.
I'm following Neo-Saban, so 20 episodes, 20 "super" episodes, a Halloween/Christmas episode in both ends. I'm also aiming more for Judd Lynn than Tzachor, obviously.
Utilizing HD TVNihon subs for timing purposes. Will update every Friday. If for some reason I can't, I will update it a day early or so.
1: Way of the Ninja, Part 1
[Note: During the narration, show the shadowed form of Kibaoni facing various black clad ninja, and matching the narration pieces given]
“Hundreds of years ago, the evil spirit General Vadra came from the spirit world. He led his dark forces out and started to attack the world. It was only thanks to the intervention of various hidden ninja schools that Vadra’s plans failed.
“The ninja banded together and utilized the hidden power of their Ninja Stars to seal Vadra and his forces back into the spirit world. The Stars locked the gate and so it remains, and will remain forever.â€
The middle aged Asian-American man closed his book and looked at the classroom before him. Only one seat was filled, and that was by a young dark haired man in a red and black shirt, who happened to be sleeping.
“Wyatt!†the man snapped as he slammed his book down.
Wyatt stirred and came up, looking at the teacher, “Yamashiro-sensei, I know this story,†Wyatt complained. He leaned back and stretched himself out in his chair, “This is basic stuff, like, day one stuff. This isn’t my first day.â€
“It’s always a good idea to review,†Yamashiro said, “As soon as you forget the past…â€
“It comes back and gets you,†Wyatt said.
“It comes back and you are unprepared,†Yamashiro said.
“Same thing,†Wyatt said. “But come on. This is the origin of this entire place,†he directed outwards at the room, “This academy was founded to train new ninja to stop Vadra from ever returning. I think I know the story since I’ve been here for so long.â€
Yamashiro sighed, “Wyatt…look around you. What do you see?â€
Wyatt looked around, then looked back at Yamashiro, “Empty seats?†he asked.
“Yes. Empty seats,†Yamashiro responded. He walked around his desk and through the empty aisles, “My father was a practitioner of the ninja arts, as was his father before him, and so on. My family was part of the ninja forces which sealed Vadra. I could have found a new path in my life, but I chose to follow the path that they followed. I decided to become a teacher to train the next generation of ninja. And now you’re the only one left.â€
“Yeah,†Wyatt said, nodding solemnly, “Why is that?â€
“Because there is no threat,†Yamashiro stated, “Vadra has been sealed for hundreds of years, along with his dark forces. There is no reason for ninja to exist anymore. While there were other students in the past, they all eventually realized that this was nothing more than a hobby, and moved on with their lives.â€
“This is my life,†Wyatt told him, “I am a ninja, and nothing more.â€
“There’s nothing for you in being a ninja,†Yamashiro said, “You can’t make a living off of it, and you can’t live your life like this.â€
“I can,†Wyatt said, “I mean, I can live my life like this. I…I don’t have the rest figured out yet.â€
“Now, I’m telling you the story about Vadra because I’m out of things to teach you,†Yamashiro said, “I want you to realize that you need to find your calling, and no, being a ninja is not your calling. It’s not a real calling, anyway.â€
Wyatt came to his feet, “So, are you telling me to leave?†he asked.
“I’m telling you that I can’t do much more for you,†Yamashiro stated, “I’m sorry.â€
“No, no, I get it,†Wyatt said, “I’ll have to think about things. Please, excuse me,†Wyatt told him, moving towards the door.
“Wyatt?†Yamashiro asked, but Wyatt left the room.
A young man was standing in what looked to be a medium sized gym or dojo. The walls were wood, and had various types of training weapons attached, including swords, staffs, nunchaku, and other weaponry. It had a lower ceiling with a skylight, and padded floors. There were large scrolls and flags hanging on the wall, including America’s flag, as well as Japan’s, Korea’s, and China’s.
Wyatt slid the door open and stepped inside after taking his boots off at the door. He looked up to see the man there. The blonde man turned around, dressed in a dark blue suit and blue tie, hands in his pockets.
“Wyatt?†the man asked with a British accent, “You’re visiting too?â€
“Oliver?†Wyatt asked, stepping inside, “Um, not exactly…â€
“What does that mean?†Oliver asked. He paused a moment, “You never left, did you?â€
Wyatt shook his head, “No. I stayed here.â€
“All this time?†Oliver asked, “Even after all of us left? How many people are still here?â€
“Um…just me,†Wyatt admitted.
“That doesn’t make sense,†Oliver told him, “You can only do so much as a ninja. This path no longer exists, not like in the days long ago. We all had to move on eventually, you knew that as well.â€
“I do know that, but I don’t know what to do with myself,†Wyatt told him.
“I was starting med school at the end,†Oliver said, “I’m getting closer to being a doctor.â€
“You’re making something good out of your life then,†Wyatt said, “I’m happy for you.â€
“Thank you,†Oliver said, “Where is Yamashiro-sensei?â€
“He should be in the classroom,†Wyatt said, “I just came from there.â€
“I’ll go that way then,†Oliver said, walking to the door. He slipped his dress shoes back on and looked back at the gym, “So many memories here, training.â€
Wyatt nodded, “Yeah…I miss all of you guys.â€
Oliver nodded, “That’s the hardest part of moving on, isn’t it? The separation from the people you spent so much time with.â€
Wyatt looked back, but Oliver was leaving the room. Wyatt sighed and looked around the training room, “I hate it when you’re right…but that was you, wasn’t it? The guy who was always right…â€
Wyatt was walking back and forth on the street outside of a school. He looked back as he heard the bell ring, and soon he saw students leaving. He stood there as they passed him by, and soon he saw a young dark haired woman talking to two friends. They were laughing as they walked.
Wyatt lifted his hand and waved, “Alice!†he called, waving to get her attention.
The girl looked at her friends, “I’m sorry,†she said, “I’ll catch up, I promise.â€
The two split off from her as she went to go see Wyatt. Wyatt was smiling broadly when she approached, “How was school?†he asked.
She grabbed his arm and pulled him away, across the street. She let go of him and stared at him, “Why are you here?†she questioned.
“What do you mean by that?†Wyatt questioned, “We’ve been friends since we were children. Why wouldn’t I want to come see you?â€
“I’m a high school senior and have to focus on my studies,†she said, “I have friends my own age who don’t know that I’m friends with a guy two years older than me who’s in…,†she looked around, then whispered to him, “ninja training.â€
“You did it too,†he said.
“Until I realized I had to focus on school,†she said, “That was a hobby more than anything. I didn’t even think it was real! And then it turned out that all of it was, and I realized just how serious everything could be if that seal ever broke. I had a life I needed to get back to.â€
He sighed, “Oliver came back,†Wyatt said.
“Oliver? Really? I thought he went home,†Alice said.
“Well, he’s back,†Wyatt said, “I’m the only student left, and…and Yamashiro-sensei is telling me to find something to do with my life. I…I don’t know what to do with myself. Honestly, I don’t.â€
“You could go to college,†she said.
“You know I hate school,†Wyatt said, “I always had you help me in high school.â€
“Yeah, and that helped me get really good grades now that I’m a senior,†she said, “I had a preview of what was coming. Wyatt, I can’t help you find a path in your life. Only you can do that.â€
“Wait, isn’t Ridge here too? You two are in the same grade, right?†he asked.
She shook her head , “We hang out together, but he’s a year younger than me. Why? Do you think he can help you?â€
“I don’t know, but I’m hoping so,†Wyatt said.
“Seriously Wyatt, you need to figure it out yourself. We can’t tell you what to do with your life. But Yamashiro-sensei is right; you need to find something to do with yourself.â€
“I know, I know…,†Wyatt muttered.
“I need to go see my friends,†Alice said, “I’ll talk to you later,†she told him, running off.
He sighed as he watched her go. He scratched the back of his head, “Ok then…I guess I need to find Ridge somewhere…†He looked around and then ran back across the street and towards the school.
Wyatt looked around the hallways, then poked his head into a room. There were a few people inside, playing chess. One of the players was a young African American man. He moved his knight and shouted, “Yes! Checkmate!â€
The other player sighed and shook his head, “Sorry to break it to you Ridge.†He moved a piece, “Checkmate.â€
“Wait, what?†Ridge asked. He looked at the board and leaned back in his seat, “Oh come on! I thought I had you in checkmate! I need to pay more attention…â€
Wyatt walked into the room, “Ridge, I thought you learned better.â€
They all looked to Wyatt. Ridge smiled, “Wyatt! It’s been a while since I last saw you!â€
Wyatt smiled, “Same to you,†he said. Ridge got out of his seat and hurried over, “How have you been?†Wyatt asked.
“I’ve been great. I still hang out with Alice.†He looked back at the others in the room, “I joined the chess club. Clearly I have a lot to learn.â€
“You do,†his opponent said, “You could have won in a few more moves if you’d played carefully. But you misread it entirely and assumed you had checkmate. Bad play.â€
“Ok, maybe chess isn’t quite my game,†Ridge said.
“Then why join the club?†Wyatt asked.
Ridge shrugged, “I thought I’d be good at it.â€
“You want to go somewhere to talk?†Wyatt asked.
Ridge nodded, “Yeah, let’s go.â€
Ridge and Wyatt walked on the school track. They were alone.
“You’re the only student left?†Ridge asked.
Wyatt nodded, “Yeah, unfortunately. I wish there were others around.â€
“So you never moved on?†Ridge asked, “Really?â€
“Why does everyone harp on that?†Wyatt asked, “First Yamashiro-sensei, then Oliver, then…â€
“Wait, Oliver is in the country?†Ridge asked.
Wyatt nodded, “Yeah, he was visiting.â€
“Maybe I should drop by. I always liked him,†Ridge said.
“You should just drop by in general, even if Oliver’s not around,†Wyatt said, “I’m the only student, after all. I’m sure Yamashiro-sensei would love to see you, or, well, anyone.â€
“You know, I did consider going back during the summer,†Ridge said, “I tried to talk Alice into it as well.â€
“And why didn’t you come back?†Wyatt asked.
“Because I thought that if I went back…I wouldn’t want to leave again.†They both stopped walking. Ridge faced Wyatt, “There are too many memories there. I couldn’t go back or I might not have left again. I’m sorry Wyatt.â€
Ridge started back towards the school. Wyatt looked after him, “Ridge!â€
“I don’t know what you should do with your life!†he called back, “You have to figure it out yourself!â€
Wyatt let out a breath. He looked down the track and saw that people were putting hurdles out, “Guess they’re getting ready for track,†he said. He let out a sigh and started to run. As soon as he reached the first hurdle he leapt up, flipped in the air, and landed and kept running. The track members around started to applaud as he flipped over the various hurdles.
Ridge stopped and looked back. He smiled, “Showoff.†He kept walking.
“Alice said you’d probably be here.â€
Wyatt looked back to see a young woman approaching him. She was Asian-American and dark haired. A smile came to his face, “So she really does worry about me. Glad to see you do too, Rachel.â€
Rachel slowed herself as she approached him. They were in the woods and there were targets strung up around them in the trees. “Of course I worry,†she said, “Especially if you’re doing throwing star practice. It never seemed to be your strong suit.â€
Wyatt chuckled, “I’ve improved,†he said. He threw a silver star out and landed it in the center of the target. He span around and threw another one, landing another direct hit. He span, but tripped as he threw the next.
Rachel threw her arm out and caught it between her fingers, “You slipped,†she said.
“Yeah…,†he said, picking himself up, “May I?†he held his hand out.
She threw her arm out and threw the star into another target, “No, you may not,†she said. She smiled at him, “You did improve.â€
“Well, when you’re the only student, you’re bound to get better,†he said.
“Alice told me everything,†she said, “She really is worried about you.â€
“I don’t suppose you can give me advice on what to do with my life,†he said.
She shook her head, “Aside from college with me, no,†she told him.
“I’m not a big fan of school,†Wyatt told her.
“I remember,†she said, “Except ninja training.â€
“Well, of course,†Wyatt said, “Because unlike school, ninja training is exciting and fun.â€
“And incredibly dangerous,†she said.
“Being a ninja comes with risks,†he said.
“Except ninjas don’t exist anymore,†she told him, “You have the skills, but it isn’t a profession anymore.â€
“You sound like Oliver,†he told her.
She smiled, “Well, he and I did see eye to eye on a lot of things.â€
“No wonder he had that crush on you,†Wyatt said.
She laughed, “Oh, now you tell me,†she said sarcastically, “I should have gone for it when I had the chance. Especially with that dreamy British accent…â€
Both of them laughed. He slowly stopped, “Glad he wasn’t here to hear me say that.â€
“Wait, are you serious?†she asked.
He nodded, “Of course, a number of us boys had gotten together for a party one night and that was truth or dare. He might have been lying.â€
“Lying? About a crush on me? There’s no way anyone could do such a thing,†she said with complete confidence.
He smiled, “No, that would be impossible.â€
She let out a breath, “Look, jokes aside, you do need something with your life.â€
“The Wind and Thunder Ninja Academies still operate,†Wyatt told her.
“And that was over a decade ago that they had any real purpose,†she said, “Ninja don’t need to exist. Find a path in life, please Wyatt, I’m begging you. You’re my friend, and I don’t want to find out that you wasted your entire life like this.â€
He nodded a little, “Yeah…the problem is that I don’t know what to do…â€
“I can’t help you,†she said, “I’m sure this is a common theme, but none of us can help you. Don’t go reaching out to others either. Nobody can help. You have to find your own way.â€
“Fine, fine,†he said.
“Now then, I’m going to the academy. I want to see Yamashiro-sensei and Oliver.â€
“Oh, so you really want to see if that crush is real,†Wyatt joked.
She smiled a little and started to walk off. Wyatt ran after her.
[Establishing shot of academy building]
Rachel and Wyatt opened the doors to the training room and found Yamashiro and Oliver there, sparring with wooden swords. Oliver was keeping up against every attack the sensei made and didn’t appear to be struggling.
“You’re still just as good as the day you left,†Yamashiro said as he lowered his weapon.
Oliver lowered his as well, “I’m the type who doesn’t forget,†Oliver told him.
Yamashiro looked to the door, “Rachel, two visitors in one day, I’m impressed.â€
Rachel bowed to him, “Yamashiro-sensei,†she said. She looked to Oliver, “Hello Oliver.â€
Oliver nodded, “Nice to see you again Rachel.â€
Rachel walked towards them, “I heard that there was an interesting truth you gave at a party one night.â€
Oliver looked over to Wyatt, then back to Rachel, “That was two years ago,†he said.
“Flattered,†she said, “But glad to know it’s behind us.â€
Yamashiro looked at the, then looked to Wyatt, “Where have you been?â€
“Talking to people,†Wyatt said, “Trying to think.â€
The doors opened again. They all looked back to see Alice and Ridge enter.
“After Wyatt talked to us, we thought we’d visit,†Alice said. Her eyes moved to Rachel and Oliver, “Rachel? You’re here too?â€
Yamashiro smiled, “Let’s go somewhere else. It’s nice to have a group again.â€
They all sat in the classroom, but the desks had been moved aside for a central table they all sat around.
“I’m glad to know all of you have moved on and found things to do with your lives,†Yamashiro told them, “Just keep at it. Visit when you can, I get lonely.â€
“I’m here,†Wyatt told him.
“I can’t just talk to you every day,†he said.
Alice smiled, “I know the feeling. No offense, Wyatt.â€
He sighed, “And you’re my best friend too…â€
Ridge smiled, “I’ll probably be back during the summer,†he told Yamashiro, “I’ve been wanting to come back, but my studies get in the way.â€
“School is important,†Yamashiro said, “I don’t blame you.â€
“I’ll be able to visit as well,†Oliver said, “My program is going to be in America now. I transferred. I’ll be living here in Crest Falls now.â€
“You will be?†Wyatt asked, “That’s great!â€
“I won’t be training with you,†Oliver said, “My medical school comes first. I don’t have time to train.â€
“You were always one of the best students here,†Ridge said, “I always looked up to you and tried to do what you did.â€
“Emulation isn’t great,†Rachel said, “You need to do your own thing. Besides, if you can’t meet the other’s standards, then you’ll just fall farther and harder.â€
“Good point,†Ridge said.
“If Ridge comes back for the summer, I might as well,†Alice said, “Especially if I leave for college after this semester.â€
“You won’t go to college here?†Rachel asked, “I was hoping you would…â€
“The college here is good,†Alice said, “But I need a change.â€
“Why didn’t I know about this?†Wyatt asked, “We’ve been best friends since childhood…â€
“Sorry…,†she said softly, “It’s just…I didn’t know how to tell you.â€
There was a high pitched sound. Yamashiro rose quickly from his seat, knocking his chair over.
“Yamashiro-sensei?†Oliver asked.
“What’s wrong?†Ridge asked.
“I…I don’t know,†he admitted. He hurried to the desk and pulled something out that looked like a mirror. “This…†There was a hazy darkness over the glass. He looked to the students, “Come with me, hurry!â€
They all got out of their chairs and ran out after him.
A yellow and white foxlike monster stood in a field. It held its hand out and started to chant softly. Smoke rose from the ground and formed under the monster’s hand, and then it formed into a golden hammer which it took grip of.
“Yes,†it said in a feminine voice, “The Mallet of Summoning. One of the many lost ninja weapons of old.†She looked at the field and lifted the mallet. She thrust it down with a cry and then the lingering smoke was gone, “And now it is no more.†She chuckled as she walked away from the field.
Yamashiro and the others stopped at the field and looked around.
“This is where the great battle with General Vadra took place, isn’t it?†Rachel asked.
“It is,†Yamashiro said, “Many old ninja weapons were lost here, with all their power. They were destroyed.â€
“But what was that mirror signifying?†Oliver asked.
“Someone was using the power here,†Yamashiro said, “I don’t sense anything…there’s always been a presence here, but it’s gone. Someone either took all of it, or they destroyed it.â€
“What was here that was so important?†Alice asked.
“Oh no…,†Yamashiro muttered, “No, no…â€
“I don’t like the sound of this,†Ridge said.
“The Mallet of Summoning was here,†Yamashiro said, “It can break Vadra’s seal!â€
“But if the weapons were destroyed, then does it matter?†Oliver asked.
“They could be reformed with enough power,†he told Oliver.
“Then why didn’t you reform them and seal them?†Wyatt asked.
“Because they were safer here. I should be the only one capable of raising them back.â€
“I guess you’re not,†Rachel said, “And that means we should hurry.â€
Yamashiro nodded, “We need to get to Vadra’s seal, now!†He took off running, still holding the mirror. The others ran after him.
The group reached a rock outcropping coming from the ground. Yamashiro looked around, “Ok, it’s still sealed. I can still feel the power here.â€
“So, does that mean whoever has the Mallet hasn’t gotten here yet?†Ridge asked.
“It’s also possible that whoever has it doesn’t have the power to undo the seal,†Yamashiro said, “We could be safe.â€
“But if they had the power to restore the Mallet, shouldn’t they have the power to undo the seal?†Rachel asked, “Or is it that much of a jump in power levels?â€
“It’s a huge jump,†Yamashiro said, “I think we’re safe.â€
[Ninninger 1. 8:12-8:20]
The fox stood behind some rocks with the Mallet in her hands. She moved her hand around the back of it, chanting.
She drew her hand back and drew a single finger up, “Ninja Technique,†she span around with the Mallet overhead, then swung it outwards, “Seal Break!â€
[End Sentai footage]
As the group stood there, the sky darkened.
“What is this?†Alice questioned.
“No…,†Yamashiro said. He threw his hands forward into a ninja hand sign, “Ninja Technique! Seal Strengthen!â€
He stared straight ahead and glowed a little. His breathing quickened. In a few moments he fell backwards and grunted.
“It’s…it’s too late…,†he said weakly.
[Ninninger 1. 8:23-8:27]
Darkness seeped out of the stone, and then ninja stars flew out as well.
[Ninninger 1. 8:30-8:34]
A glowing figure was in the darkness in the sky, letting out a cry, “After hundreds of years I’m free!â€
[End Sentai footage]
“Is that him?†Wyatt yelled, “Is that General Vadra?â€
Yamashiro nodded, “It’s him…†The mirror in his hand shattered.
“This is why I left being a ninja!†Alice shouted, “I didn’t want to do this if he awakened again.â€
Rachel put her arm around Alice, “It’s ok to be afraid. I am too.â€
Ridge nodded, “Yeah…â€
“Only a fool wouldn’t be afraid,†Oliver said.
“I’m not afraid!†Wyatt shouted.
[Ninninger 1. 8:42-8:47]
“You should all fear me once I return to full power!†he roared.
[End Sentai footage]
The darkness faded and the six looked around at each other.
“Ok, stupid question, but what now?†Ridge asked.
“We fight back now!†Wyatt said.
“Whoa, you sound a little too excited there,†Alice told him, “This is serious, you realize that, right?â€
“Yeah, I do,†he assured her, “But look, there are six of us here, and we’re all trained as ninja. We can stop him before it gets out of hand!â€
“No, we can’t,†Yamashiro said, “We need all of those Ninja Stars that were released,†he told them, “Those were spelled to seal him. He can’t be destroyed, so we need to seal him again, but those Stars were scattered. We need all of them.â€
“How many are there?†Ridge asked.
“I’ll need to consult some old documents,†he told Ridge, “I don’t know, and it’s not in the history of our arts. I need the source documents. They’re in the woods, come with me.â€
The six ran off, and the fox stepped down from behind the rocks, “Run,†she said, “Run to your dooms.â€
Yamashiro pointed ahead, “There! That building up ahead!â€
Sitting in the woods was a wooden structure that looked somewhat like a temple.
As they nearly reached it, blue armored creatures came out from behind the trees and lifted spears. The six slowed and looked around as they became surrounded.
The fox landed atop the building and laughed, “Thank you for leading me to this place,†she said, rising to her full height, “My name is Amrion. I am the one who broke General Vadra’s seal, and I will ensure that he revives to full power.†She threw her arms to her sides, “Now, my Tyvings, attack!â€
The blue creatures attacked the six. Wyatt moved and blocked their spears before kicking them away.
Ridge ducked and shouted as he avoided their attacks. He grabbed a spear and yanked it free before using it to ram the other end into a few of the Tyvings chests.
Oliver moved swiftly through their attacks and struck them in their heads with quick blows.
Alice struggled and barley avoided some attacks. She slid under one and swept its legs out before kicking one higher up in the chest.
Rachel fought well, avoiding their spears with dodges or blocks before using the spears to turn them away and shove them around.
Yamashiro blocked every spear with his arms and moved quickly forward, taking out each one with swift blows.
Soon they were all forced together.
“There are too many,†Oliver muttered.
Yamashiro looked around, then he looked at the building. He threw his hands forward, “Ninja Technique! Summon!â€
In a poof of smoke he held a wrist-brace in his hands, along with a red ninja star. He span around, “Wyatt!â€
Wyatt caught the two items as Yamashiro threw them. He looked at them, “What are these?â€
“A Strike Star Morpher and the Red Ranger Ninja Star! Use them!â€
[Note: The Strike Star Morpher is a Morphing Brace from Go-Busters, but the glasses piece is solid colored, and there’s a small node in the center circular area for the Star to mount]
“But where did it come from?†Wyatt questioned.
“I’ll explain later! Do it! Follow your instincts!â€
He looked at them curiously, “Um…â€
Amrion leapt off of the building and there was a flash underneath her.
The six humans lifted their arms as they heard an explosion.
“No!†Wyatt shouted, throwing the red star out.
[Ninninger 1. 1:00-1:04]
Tyvings were in front of the burning, destroyed building
The red star flew through the Tyvings, own. Others looked to their fallen allies.
[End Sentai footage]
Wyatt put the brace on his left wrist and caught the star again before he affixed it on top of the wrist-brace. He reached for it, took grip of the star, and thrust his arm up as he span the star, shouting. He ran through the groups of Tyvings and slid to a stop away from the others.
“Be careful!†Yamashiro shouted.
[Ninninger 1. 1:13-1:34]
The Tyvings drew their heads back as a red flash blinded them. Wyatt stood in the center of the red glow, wearing a red ninja uniform. He lifted his sword, “I’ll bring you all down!†he shouted as he drew his sword to his shoulder.
He leapt into the group and started to fight his way through them before throwing his star.
[Ninninger 1. 1:38-2:09 (note: edit in lasers)]
He continued to fight them through the woods, with or without his sword. He laughed and shouted the entire time.
He avoided blasts from some in trees and returned the attacks with more stars.
“This is pretty awesome power!†he shouted.
[Ninninger 1. 2:17-2:46]
Wyatt continued to fight the Tyvings, “Let’s do this.†He hit a button and began to glow red, “All this power is amazing!†he shouted as he slashed through them all in a red blur.
He landed away from them as they exploded, “That was intense!â€
[End Sentai footage]
Wyatt walked towards the others in his red Ranger form and nodded, “So…how do I get this off?†he asked.
Yamashiro looked at all of them, “We have a long ways to go,†he said. He looked back to Wyatt, “I just hope all of you are going to be as enthusiastic as he is.â€
“What does that mean?†Oliver asked.
“You want all of us to fight?†Rachel questioned.
Yamashiro nodded, “I do,†he said, “And I hope you will. I know you all have lives, but our greatest enemy has returned. This is why you trained, as a theoretical situation, of course, but now it’s happened. Can I count on all of you?â€
The four looked at each other as Wyatt stood with Yamashiro.
Amrion stood on a tree branch and thrust her hand out, “Goodbye.â€
All six of them looked down and saw a spark.
“Run!†Yamashiro shouted, pushing them away as the spark exploded.
“Yamashiro-sensei!†they all screamed through the explosion.
“There, now General Vadra will have no real enemies,†Amrion laughed as she vanished.

Of note, I chose to replace the Morpher as I was writing like episode 4. It was originally done with the actual swords, but I preferred the idea of changing it.
