I OWN NOTHING THAT LOOKS FAMILIAR!
"Look before you, Moogers! These are the eighteenth leaders of the Samurai Power Rangers, descendants of the man who destroyed your masters years ago," a man in his late thirties early forties said.
The monsters changed their stances as the man kept on talking.
"You have two choices: retreat now, or become rust on their blades."
The two red-clad people reached to the front of their belts and opened a compartment. The compartment held a disk. As one put the disk on the end of his sword, the other looked at the man and began talking.
"Don't bother," the man looked at the red-clad girl, as it was a woman's voice that talked, "I don't want them to retreat. I wanna take them for a spin."
The other red-clad person nodded and they both took their swords and swung it in front of them. They then let theswords rest on their left shoulders before they attacked the monsters (Moogers).
After defeating the Moogers, they de-morphed out of their red suits while walking to the man, revealing that they were a boy and a girl underneath the helmets.
"Wonderful. I'm so proud that the boy and girl I've devoted my life to training have grown to be master samurai and are ready to lead others into battle."
"But we're used to fighting alone," the girl with blonde hair said, "I don't want to put anyone else in danger."
"The nighlok attacks are escalating. More and more of them are coming across to do their evil."
"Sure, and if any more Moogers dare pay us a visit they'll get a taste of our spin swords."
She pulled at the boy's sleeve and began to walk away.
"Do not underestimate the power of Master Xandred if he awakens," she froze mid-step, "his Nighlok allegiance are too much for two people. Even ones as strong as you two," the man paused as the girl turned her head back in his direction, "teams of samurai have battled this evil for centuries."
The girl turned around fully to look at the man, the boy following her lead.
"We're really supposed to lead a team?"
"It's what your training has prepared you for. There are four others that have trained for these dark days, and they await the call to join you two and to fight as samurai rangers."
She nodded and pulled at the boy's sleeve again and walked away from the man, "I understand. We'll do whatever it takes," was all she said. The man nodded and followed the two teens.
Back at a house, the girl and boy were playing with what looked like a toy that jumped from the girl to the boy. The man, whose name was Ji, walked over to them.
"Lauren! Jayden!" they both looked up, "Master Xandred must have awakened. A new raid of Nighlok more powerful than ordinary Moogers have mobilized. You guys cannot wait any longer. The time has come to summon your team of samurai rangers."
"Are you sure we're ready to lead?" the girl, Lauren, asked.
"Two samurais are strong, but a team is unbeatable. Just remember your father's words as he left for his final battle."
'This is to be yours. One day the great responsibility of being Red Rangers will fall to you both. Remember, protect the world from evil, stand by your allies, and never run from a battle.'
"You're right, Ji. We'll never forget his last words. We must not fail. We are the Red Rangers."
"The other Rangers have spent their whole lives preparing to fulfill their samurai destinies. Fulfill your destinies to lead them."
Both Lauren and Jayden nodded. Ji notched an arrow into a bow and fired. He then did the same with three others. He proceeded to give them four samuraizers, two to each, explaining to give the samuraizers to the other Rangers. After telling them the coordinates, they ran off on the back of a horse, Lauren in front and Jayden in the back.
"The ranger emblem! Wait! Wait wait wait!" a boy in blue said. The car stopped in front of him. The back window opened to reveal a girl with black hair.
"I'm sorry! I didn't know the red ranger was a girl!"
"I'm not the red ranger," she said as he climbed out of the car, "I'm the pink. My name's Mia."
A girl with blonde hair and a yellow blouse ran up to them.
"Are you the red ranger?" she asked the boy in blue.
"No, I'm the blue."
"Oh."
"You guys must be my peeps," a boy in green said after running up to them.
"You're the red ranger?" the boy in blue asked.
"No, I'm mighty green."
A horse's neigh interrupted the boy in green's next words.
"With an entrance like that you have to be the red ranger," the green clothed boy said.
"Yes, we are the red rangers," Lauren said.
"We?"
Jayden peeked his head out from behind her, smiling shyly.
"Oh."
"We're your team of samurai!" the blue clothed boy said.
"Let me warn you now, if you follow us, there is no turning back. Either we defeat the Nighlok together, or they will take over the world. We will give these," she held up a samuraizer, "to only those who are ready to accept the challenge," she and Jayden both got off the horse, "do not accept because you were trained to do so. Accept only if you are willing to commit and fight as samurai power rangers with all your heart."
The blue clothed boy looked at his swimming cap and goggles before looking away from them and up at the two red rangers.
"Without hesitation," he said.
"I've been planning for this since I was a little girl. So yes," Mia said.
"I'm ready to give it all I've got," the girl in yellow said.
"Okay okay, do we have to be so formal? Let's do this thing!" the guy in green said.
Lauren turned around to grab the samuraizers she had put in a pack on the horse out. She then tossed her two to the blue and yellow rangers while Jayden tossed his to the green and pink rangers.
"Let's go," Lauren said.
Along the way there, the others learned each other's names. Mia was the pink ranger, Emily the yellow, Kevin the blue, Mike the green, and Jayden and Lauren the red rangers.
They walked to the battle in a line. The line went Mia, Mike, Jayden, Lauren, Kevin, and Emily. They then flipped their samuraizers on and drew their symbols. Once they were in their suits, they fought the Nighlok until they won. When they did win, Lauren smiled.
"Samurai Rangers, Victory is ours."
Once they were back at the Shiba house, Emily began to speak.
"What a rush. We did good."
"Piece of cake," Mike agreed with her.
"We could never have done it without each other," Lauren said, Jayden nodding at her words.
"Thank you for leading us into battle," Kevin said.
"Bravo."
They all turned around to see Ji walking toward them.
"Such energy, such grace."
"Who is that?" Mike asked.
"This is Ji, our mentor," Lauren said.
"Welcome to your new home," Ji said, "you've all come from different places and families, but share one noble goal. I'm very proud of how you've all come together."
"We just followed some good advice and worked as a team."
"Yes, but you are not just any team. You are the Samurai Rangers."
They all put their Zords together and spoke one line, other than Jayden, of course.
"Rangers together, Samurai forever!"
They then watched as their symbols floated into the sky.
What do you think? Good? Bad? Let me know in the reviews! Also, I think this will be the only one where I use an episode for "guidance" (guidance being taking the episode and writing it down line by line). But, if you want me to do it again, I'll do it again.
