Power Rangers belong to Saban, while Kakuranger belngs to Super Sentai.
Grunts and cries filled the air of the Samurai temple, where the 5 Samurai Rangers practiced in a free for all setting, overseen under the watchful eyes of Mentor Ji. As the five fought, they were unaware that they were being observed by another set of eyes. Jason Oliver, Black Ninja ranger watched them. The casual observer would have thought he found their fight only mildly amusing, however: Mentor Ji, who has spotted Jason, knew that he was in fact paying close attention, his eyes darting around, noticing patterns in attacks, give-aways that indicated what one of them would do. As he put the last bit of granola in his mouth, he pulled up his Ninja hood, and stepped off the roof, jumping into the middle of the 5 with ninja speed. Raising his Secret Sword over his head, he crouched, absorbing the impact of the Spin Swords, he quickly pushed himself up, forcing their swords away from him, catching them all by surprise. Moving quickly to capitalize on his advantage he jumped up, kicking Mia and Mike away, turning he also kicked Kevin then pivoted and kicked Emily, before turning to face Jayden, who attempted to slash him, but Jason expected this, turning around, bending back slightly catching the blade with his hands, spitting his chewed up granola in Jayden's face, which caused him to attempt to step back. Jason grabbed Jayden's wrists and turned, forcing Jayden to turn away from him. Jason then jumped on the red ranger's back, wrapping his legs around him, pulling him to the ground, wrapping his left arm around Jayden's shoulder, then raised his right elbow, and moved to bring it down, but stopped. There was no point in finishing the move: Jason had won the fight.
Pushing the red Ranger off himself, Jason stood up, and was shoved by Mike, who was very annoyed. Mike had asked Jason if he had wanted to join in the training session, but the Ninja had declined, claiming to be tired and going inside. The other rangers had decided not to push the point, and gave him some space. But for him to burst in like that and interfere had really rubbed him the wrong way.
"What's up with you man? You said you were tired?" Mike said.
"I was, but decided to wait until after I won to go to bed." Jason told him amused, as he put his sword in the scabbard on his back.
"After you won," Kevin quoted as he walked over. "You stepped in at the last moment and hit us all when we weren't expecting it and when we were near the end of the match."
"Yeah and? I did what a ninja does best: I waited for an opportunity to present itself that gave me the best chance of success. What, do you think I want to get knocked around like you guys?" He replied as he walked inside the house.
Mia and Emily looked at each other and sighed. They had both tried to involve Jason in various activates, but hadn't had much luck, which they knew was to be expected, given what he had went through. A month ago, the Nighlok had launched a large attack, which the Samurai Rangers managed to hold them off. It was only after they had had returned to Shiba house that they learned of an even bigger attack on the other side of the city, which was being held off by the Ninja Rangers, who despite being formidable opponents, were grossly outnumbered. Mentor wasn't sure that they could hold their own against such a large force, so the Samurai had gone back out to join the Ninja's in battle, arriving just in time to save Jason from being destroyed. However, Ninja's, Red, White, and Yellow had already fallen in battle, along with their teacher, Sensei Momochi. With the help of the Samurai Rangers the Nighlok's were defeated, however Ninja Blue, Wesley Phelps, sacrificed himself to save Jason from a sneak attack, passing away in his best friends arms. Jason had attempted to bury them all by himself, but the Samurai Rangers helped after a moment of watching him struggle with his injuries.
After laying them to rest, he said a prayer for them, and then left the temple he had been training at for all of his life and moved in with the Samurai. So far, his transition hadn't been going well: he had a completely different style then the others, due to his very different training. Whereas the Samurai relied on Symbol power and strength, Jason used speed, stealth, and trickery to get the job done. For the most part, he spent all day in his room, staring at some coins he had retrieved from his temple before coming to live with the others. Deciding that nothing could be done about Jason right now, they restarted their training.
Later that night, Mia had woken up, and decided to get something to drink before she went back to bed. As she walked to the kitchen, she realized she wasn't the only one up. Hearing pained grunts, she decided to check it out. Peeking outside, she saw Jason had wrapped a thick rope around a tree and was going to work on it, punching it as hard and as fast as he could. She studied the Ninja's physical apperence. He was nearly 6 feet tall, short spiky black hair, piercing blue eyes, and more of a muscular build then she would have expected from a Ninja, not bulging muscules, but well defined. He wasn't wearing his usual ninja garg. But instead black gym pants and a sleeveless black shirt, soaked with sweat.
'He hasn't been resting like we all thought', she realized, 'he's been training hard at night. He must blame himself for what happened to his friends, so he's been pushing himself so hard.' She watched as he did a jump-spin-back-kick to the tree, but he was so exhausted that he slide down to the ground and lay there, motionless for a moment, then he pounded the ground.
"Damnit, I'm still too weak. How will I be able to help the Samurai Rangers if I'm so weak?" Jason asked himself as he struggled to get up. He was surprised when a pair of hands covered his fists. Looking up, he found himself staring into the face of Mia.
"Jason, you can't blame yourself for what happened to your friends, they went out protecting people from the Nighlok, I don't know how they would have liked to go out, but they wouldn't have stayed if they didn't feel like the cause was worthwhile." Mia told him as she helped him to his feet. As she did so, she got a look at his knuckles, which were bleeding.
"I know what you mean, but it's still hard to deal with. I mean, I saw them all fall, I can't close my eyes without seeing the fight in my head, playing it back a hundred different ways, wondering if I had done this would they still be alive." Jason replied as they made their way inside, Mia opening the door to his room. Instead of going to the bed, he walked to the wall, sitting against it, staring at the opposite wall. Mia looked over and saw that he had hung a picture of him and his team on the wall. As she got up to let him have some privacy, she realized he hadn't let go of her hand.
"Would you mind staying for a little while? I'd like some company." He asked. She nodded and sat down next to him. It wasn't that long before they both fell asleep.
The next day seemed as uneventful as the last few days, but just before lunch, the GAP sensor went off, indicating a Nighlok attack. The Rangers huddled around the map, where they learned that the attack was near the docks. After calling Antonio to meet them at the location, they made their way to the door, where they were surprised to see Jason waiting for them, in his normal clothing.
"I hope you guys don't mind, but I'd like to come along for this one. It's time for me to stop feeling sorry for myself and get back in this." Jason said, tossing a gold coin up and down. Jayden nodded.
"If you think you're up for it. Let's go." The group quickly made their way to the docks, where they confronted the Nighlok. Standing together, the rangers morphed.
"Samuraizer: Go Go Samurai
Samurai Morpher: Gold Power
Ninja Coin: Doron Change"
After morphing, Jason looked at Jayden.
"If no one has any objections, I'm gonna start this off. This is the nighlok that took out Rebecca. So I'd like a moment to get some payback." Rebecca had been the White Ninja Ranger, the first to go down. After fighting off a swarm of Moogers, she was killed after taking several energy blasts: avoiding the blasts would have caused them to slam into a building full of children.
Stepping forward without waiting for a reply, he places his right hand of the handle of his sword, and his left hand on the bottom of the scabbard in his favorite Ninja stance, stepping to the left before rushing towards the Nighlok, drawing his sword just before he passed, striking quickly before stepping away as he puts his sword back in the scabbard. Stepping forward he engaged the Nighlok in hand-to-hand combat until a lucky hit sent him back. Before the Nighlok could attempt to press its advantage, Mike and Kevin attacked, forcing the Nighlok to defend itself against their sword strikes. Jayden stepped forward, holding out a hand to Jason, who took it and got up. Finding itself against 7 rangers was bad enough, however the Nighlok began to dry out, forcing it to attempt to flee. However Jason attached his Shinobi Knuckle gauntlet, punching the Nighlok away from the gap it wanted to use, before attaching his Black Bow, firing three crossbow bolts into the cracks forming onto it, destroying the Nighlok.
"Not bad, Ninja's may not be as cool as Samurai, but you've got some moves." Mike said as he walked over. This was the first time they got a good look at his Ranger garb, since the first time they met, they had been busy. The thing they noticed first was his helmet, which lacked a symbol like their own. Rather his helmet was mostly black, like his uniform but with a gold belt across his forehead, a lightning bolt across his left shoulder, and some white stripes on his arms and hands. His entire look radiated the idea of "ninja". If only they had known of the second attack sooner, maybe they could have saved the other Ninja Rangers: if they could have done that then they would have an even more formidable force against the Nighloks. Before they could say anything more, the Nighlok grew to megamonster size. The Samurai Rangers summoned their foldingzords and formed the Samurai Megazord.
The Megazord fought hard, but the Nighlok had summoned giant moogers who had hid until the Megazords back was turned, making it hard to defend themselves. Just as the Nighlok attempted to finish them off, what looked like a long red tongue wrapped around its arm, pulling it back. Lifting their Megazord up they looked behind the Nighlok and saw a giant black frog, it looked like a more like an animal then the foldingzord: the Samurai Rangers realized this must have been Jason's Ninja Zord. They watched as black streaks of electricity ran up the tongue and struck the nighlok. The Rangers got up a finished the monster with a slash of their Samurai Saber. Jumping out of their zords, the rangers met back up at Shiba house. Jason rubbed his fist, grinning.
"You guys might not be Ninja's but you guys aren't that bad." He stepped back and bowed slightly. "Let's do this right: Will you allow me to join you in your fight against the Nighloks?"
Jayden looked at the others, and then bowed back, grasping Jason's hand.
"It'd be our honor."
This is chapter one of Samurai-Ninja. If you haven't guessed, this is based on the Sentai Series Kakuranger, the show which season three of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was based on, as well as the Aquitar Rangers. I've put in bits of info from the Kakuranger series that a Sentai fan should appreciate. Let me know what you think. Please Please PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEE REVIW!
