Deep in space three individuals are inside a spaceship working on a top secret project.
"Dr. Kinlear are you sure this is going to allow us to tap into the morphing grid?" A tall blonde man with shaggy blonde hair and steel grey eyes asked while connecting two wires to the tall cylindrical machine he was standing next too.
"Relax Ian I am entirely positive that my calculations are correct." The elderly Asian man known as Dr. Kinlear proclaimed as he started to type into a computer hooked up to the machine. "Soon the morphers will be fully operational and project Star Squadron will be complete." He continued as he kept typing in commands.
"You said that the last twenty-two times we tried." Ian sighed as he walked away from the machine and bumped into a tall robot standing around 6'6" tall with dingy silver colored plating on his body and two green sensors where eyes would be. "I'm sorry Q." Ian stated
"It is all right Mr. Alban." Q replied while brushing Ian off then turning his attention to the machine." "I'm afraid sir but by my calculations there is only a 11.37% chance that this will actually succeed." Q gravely stated while putting his hand on Dr. Kinlear's shoulder
"See I told you doc there's no use we might as well give up." Ian shouted as he exited the area and walked down the corridor towards his sleeping quarters.
"No this is going to work we have worked too hard to give up now!" Dr. Kinlear screamed while furiously typing commands into the computer and checking the gauges on the machine.
"I feel sorry for the the guy he's working on a hopeless cause now." Ian murmured to himself as he entered his sleeping quarters. He picked up the picture of his family and smiled, his mom and dad looked so happy together and his siblings were bubbly and full of energy. Why did he decide to leave he asked himself in his head. He thought this project would take six months a year tops, that's what he was told when he signed on to work with Dr. Kinlear. Now here he was three years later eighteen years old and nothing to show for it. He quickly put on some training clothes and decided to go too the ship's workout facility.
Entering the room he walked slowly to the punching bag. He reeled back his fist and slammed it into the bag causing it to fly backwards a few feet, when it flew back at him he quickly slid under it. Jumping back up he sent his leg into the bag with a powerful kick blowing the bag back again. He smirked as the bag flew back and came back towards him. He leapt sideways out of the way of the bag and struck it with his elbow. He walked away from the bag and started running laps around the facility. He continued running until got bored, and decided to up the ante, from the floor several hurdles spaced twenty-five meters apart rose creating an obstacle for Ian. Almost effortlessly Ian leaped over the hurdles with grace and power. Once he had worked up a sweat he decided to take a break and get a drink of water.
"You know that the human body is made up of 66% water and working out causes you to lose significant amounts of it." Q chirped as he entered the facility and sat down next to Ian attempting to console him. "Mr. Alban you seem upset is it because you are not properly hydrated?" Q asked as he examined Ian.
"No Q it's not because of that, and I told you call me Ian, Mr. Alban is my dad." Ian said softly. "It's the project we have been up here for three years working on this and for what we have no results and I missed out on my high school years." He announced.
"Well that's why Dr. Kinlear sent me here he believes the machine is operational all he needs is you." Q replied as he got up and left the room, Ian followed behind him as they entered the room where the machine was held.
"Good you're both here now Ian I need you too…" Dr. Kinlear started
"Enter the machine which you will then flood with power from the cosmic star causing it to fill my body with energy the machine will then use my body as a conduit to connect with the morphing grid thus giving the four morphers power and turning me into a power ranger." Ian answered as he stepped into the machine. "What are we waiting for start it up for the twenty-third time." He scoffed.
"Alright as you wish Ian Q hit the switch." Dr. Kinlear ordered as he put goggles on. Q hit the switch and the machine roared to life before quickly dying. "No, not again" Dr. Kinlear sighed.
"See told you doc we should just give up." Ian scoffed as he reached for the door to exit the machine before he could though a blinding light filled the room and Ian felt a strange sensation.
He stood in what appeared to be the vastness of space and he began to panic as he had no space suit on.
"Relax Ian it is all right." A voice called
"Who said that show yourself." Ian called back as he assumed a fighting stance.
"I am not an enemy." The voice replied as it began to take a form before Ian stood a female figure whose body look like it was made from space itself with two glowing purple eyes. "I am Cosmyra the spirit that resides within the cosmic star." She stated
"Wait you live in the cosmic star?" Ian questioned as he examined the being that stood in front of him
"Yes the cosmic star hosts myself and the powers that I possess your machine slowly broke down the star's defenses until it could no longer withstand it and the energy was released along with myself." Cosmyra responded she held her hand out to Ian and motioned for him to grab it, as he did visions filled his head. He saw Cosmyra with four warriors at her side against a band of pirates. The fight was long and seemed to last for eternity. The pirates began to gain the upper hand until Cosmyra sacrificed herself to destroy them.
"So when you became the cosmic star you destroyed those pirates." Ian said as he let go of her hand.
"No I simply sealed them away but now with the star broken they have been released and it is up to you too stop them." Cosmyra proclaimed
"How am I supposed to stop a band of space pirates?" Ian shouted
"Simple you must become a power ranger" Cosmyra replied "Your experiment may have failed but with the last of my strength I will tap into the morphing grid granting you the power of one of my warriors and giving power to the other three morphers you have created."
"So that's how this is going to work. I guess it's the least I can do I mean we did destroy you." Ian replied
"Then it shall be done." Cosmyra stated as she started to glow a bright golden color before dissipating into nothingness as Ian emerged on the ship.
"What happened?" Dr. Kinlear asked as he looked at the machine that was now destroyed. "No now the project will never be completed all of that hard work for nothing." He cried out as he picked up the debris.
"Doc no it wasn't we tapped into the morphing grid but at a grave cost." Ian stated grimly standing up a silver cylinder strapped to his right wrist with a red V on it. "We killed a being that was the only thing standing between a band of pirates being released from their imprisonment and now it's up to us too stop them." Ian pronounced.
"I see well then we must find these pirates at once!" Dr. Kinlear shouted just as the ship was struck by something and the alarm started to sound.
"I think they found us!" Ian gasped as he looked out one of the windows and saw a black and purple galleon piercing into the ship.
Inside the galleon were three aliens. The largest one sat in a chair he wore all black armor with intricate violet designs carved into it his face appeared angular and glass like with three shard like horns protruding from his head his eyes glowed a menacing green. Too his left stood an eight foot tall silver scaled lizard with one eye wearing traditional pirate clothes brandishing two blades. Too the right of the largest one stood a beautifully colored female bird like alien with a long beak and piercing yellow eyes.
"Captain Baras we're free!" the bird alien squaked
"I can see that Chataria!" Baras grumbled as he tried to stand unable too. "I am still too weak from our imprisonment Chataria, Slivern see where Cosmyra is I sense her energy in the ship we just struck." He grumbled
"Yes Captain." Silvern replied as he and Chataria exited towards the ship.
"Q how long until we can get away from that ship." Dr. Kinlear called out as he grabbed a blaster from the storage.
"Approximately 17.32 minutes" Q chirped back as he began to repair the wiring in the ship.
"I guess it's morphin time!" Ian shouted but nothing happened. "Huh?"
"Ian say Star Squadron ascend not it's morphin time" Dr. Kinlear stated
"Alright Star Squadron ascend!" Ian shouted as he raised his right arm into the air. A red energy surrounded his body attaching itself to him a red suit formed on his body with white gloves and boots and a white and gold belt a white V appeared on his chest. His helmet formed around his head with a traditional star design forming his vision system. "Star Squadron red ranger!" He boasted! His timing couldn't have been more perfect as Chataria and Slivern stormed into the ship with foot soldiers looking like seaweed covered pirates rushed in with them.
Dr. Kinlear opened fire on the group and struck down some foot soldiers. Ian rushed towards these invaders he kicked several turning them into dust upon impact. He quickly spun around striking two more with his fist. He continued to do this over and over destroying more and more of these creatures.
"You're pretty good let's see how you stack up against me!" Slivern roared and swung at Ian with his two blades. Ian backflipped away from these swings and stood in a fighting position ready to go. "Ha you don't even have a weapon this should be easy." Slivern scoffed and slashed in a downwards motion at Ian, Ian slid under this slash and jumped up behind Slivern kicking him in his back sending him into the wall. Slivern pulled himself out of the wall and growled at Ian.
"I'm pretty good without a weapon aren't I?" Ian quipped. "But let's see what I can do with one." Ian concentrated and a longsword appeared in his left hand. He gave it a few practice swings before charging at Slivern. Their blades clashed against each other and they exchanged blows back and forth neither side giving an inch. "You must be those pirates Cosmyra told me about." Ian grunted pushing his blade back into Slivern's blade.
"Yes we are we are the Gundalian pirates, now where is Cosmyra?!" Slivern roared and pushed his blade back.
"Slivern I sense her energy in those devices the old man is standing in front of." Chataria screeched as she slowly approached Dr. Kinlear as he fired his blaster at her. "Hmm she must be gone oh well those devices will do." She scoffed and flew towards Dr. Kinlear just then Q jumped out and tackled Chataria to the ground.
"My calculations say that is not going to happen." Q joked as he stood up and held his fists up too Chataria.
"How cute the bucket of bolts is going to try and save them oh well Weedriks come forth!" Chataria shouted as more of the seaweed covered creatures appeared and began to rush towards Dr. Kinlear.
"Oh no you don't!" Ian shouted and leapt backwards towards the group of Weedriks. He began to hack them down left and right but the more he destroyed the more kept coming. "There's too many of them!" He proclaimed but kept on fighting with all of his might.
"Ian take Q and the morphers and use and escaped ship to go to Earth it's the only hope find more rangers to help you go!" Dr. Kinlear proclaimed as he kept firing at the Weedriks and Slivern.
"I can't leave you." Ian protested as he slashed down several Weedriks. "You're coming too!"
"No I have to buy you and Q time now go!" Dr. Kinlear shouted
"Q let's go" Ian called as he grabbed the four morphers and rushed towards the escape ship.
"After them!" Slivern roared out as he started after Q and Ian. he was stopped as a forcefield came down around the area he was in trapping him, Chataria, Dr. Kinlear, and the Weedriks.
"You'll never catch them now." Dr. Kinlear laughed as he sat the blaster down and looked at the invading pirates with a smirk on his face.
Meanwhile Q and Ian hurried to the escaped ship as Ian de-morphed. As they entered they quickly strapped in and set the coordinates for Earth.
"Ready Q?" Ian asked
"Ready Mr. Alban." Q responded. With this Ian hit the release button and the ship started its path towards earth.
The entire ship rumbled as the escape ship was released. Slivern, Chataria, and the Weedriks fell to the floor of the ship. With this Dr. Kinlear hit a button on his blaster and an explosion ripped through the area with him and the other aliens. When the explosion subsided Dr. Kinlear and the Weedriks were gone but Slivern and Chataria were still there.
"Baras isn't going to be happy about this." Chataria squaked
"Shut it you oversized bird!" Slivern grumbled as he slowly stood up. "Let's return to the ship."
"You what!?" Captain Baras screamed at Slivern and Chataria. "I don't care what it takes we're finding that boy and robot and taking Cosmyra's energy."
"Sir we have no idea where they went." Slivern replied
"I can sense Cosmyra's energy I know where they went set a course for Earth." Baras retorted. The galleon the held the Gundalian pirates headed towards Earth.
"Man that jump out of hyperspace was rough." Ian groaned as they approached Earth. "Prepare for reentry Q." Ian said as he began to calibrate the reentry information into the ship's system.
"Yes Mr. Alban." Q replied
The ship began to heat up as they entered Earth's atmosphere the G-force slamming Q and Ian back into their seats. They then safely descended onto the landing strip and exited their ship. Looking at the warehouse where they had landed it was unimpressive and looked abandoned standing a few stories tall with a brick exterior the place was nothing to gawk at. Ian and Q approached the entrance and Ian swiped his I.D. badge and was let in. The interior of the warehouse was far more impressive the walls were covered with monitors and hi-tech machinery that was kept hidden from all government and private organizations.
"Well we might as well set up those pirates are going to come looking for us and we need to be ready" Ian sternly announced.
"How do you propose we prepare?" Q chirped
"Simple Q we find three more rangers."
NEXT TIME ON POWER RANGERS STAR SQUADRON!: "Ian is that really you?" The young man asked as he approached Ian.
"Oh my god it's been forever" The girl declared excitedly
