A/N: Hey guys! I have yet again a new story! Now, any Gokaiger fan knows about Basco ta Jolokia, Captain Marvelous's former teammate and reoccurring enemy of the Gokaigers. Sadly when Super Megaforce was made he was cut. While I haven't been able to see much of Gokaiger (the best I can find are a bunch of clips) I have heard about him and became intrigued. I began to wonder what would happen if he had been adapted. What would his storyline be like? And thus here we are. The story takes place several months after The Legendary Battle, and thus after the events of Megaforce. Yes, I know that's not how it was done in Gokaiger, but Basco is such a great character that putting him alongside the pitiful villains of Super Megaforce would be an insult to him. So aside from the occasional one off villain he's flying solo. Anyway, enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Power Rangers or Super Sentai (wish I did, though).

Chapter 1: A New Threat emerges

Orion sat in the cockpit of the spaceship, sailing towards Andresia. After the Legendary Battle, Orion commandeered an Armada cruiser that had somehow survived the invasion. It took a few months, but he managed to repair it and took off. He was sad to leave his friends, but Earth wasn't his home, and they knew that. He knew that it wouldn't be easy, as Andresia was completely wrecked from the Armada's attack. But he hoped that with some effort that his home could be inhabitable again. Maybe his friends from Earth could come to visit.

He was pulled from his thoughts as the communications console crackled to life.

"Please….help….me…." a voice came through, distorted and barely audible.

"Who is this? Do you read me?" Orion responded, but the transmission cut off.

Deciding to investigate, Orion traced the signal to have come from a nearby planet. He landed the spacecraft and exited. He only made a few steps when a voice popped up.

"Ah, my prey has arrived."

Orion turned around to see a normal human a few feet away. The man was tall and lean, and had a face that might actually be lethal. He was dressed in a black leather jacket with a red undershirt. His brown hair was messy and unkempt, and his blue eyes pierced through Orion like daggers.

"Who are you? Are you the one harming the people of this planet?" Orion asked. Although he tried to hide it, Orion was very unnerved by this new arrival.

"Ah, so it would appear that you fell for my trick. That distress signal was bait to lure you here. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Silas, the galaxy's greatest hunter."

Orion tensed at the name. Silas was a legendary hunter who was known for his brutal hunting methods. Once he had you, there was no escape.

"I've heard of you. What do you want."

"Do not worry; it is not you I want. Rather it is the power you possess. Now we can do things the easy way, or the hard way. Easy way you hand over your key and powers and I let you go. The hard way… well, let's just say that it won't be pretty. Which do you prefer?"

Orion glared at Silas, ready to tear him to shreds. Instead of immediately responding, he lifted his morpher and put in his key.

"Super Mega Mode!" He shouted, and in an instant he was in his Ranger form. He readied his Super Silver Spear (I know it's a trident, but they called it a spear so that's what I'm using.) and charged at Silas.

"I was hoping you would say that." Silas replied and grabbed his own sword and charged as well.

The two met in the middle and began a fierce fight. The two were evenly matched, both managing to land hits on the other. Silas's sword, while small, was easier to handle than Orion's spear, allowing Silas more mobility attack with. One the other hand, Orion's spear, while heavier than Silas's sword, was big enough to allow Orion to easily to attack Silas with enough force that his sword could not block it. The battle went on for several minutes, neither combatant backing down.

"The powers of the Legendary Rangers don't belong to you!" Orion shouted, blocking Silas's sword. "The Legendary Rangers entrusted me and the other Megaforce Rangers with this power, and I won't let you take it!"

"That's cute," Silas snarled, "You think that you have a choice. But I always get what I want. Now it's time I finish this." Silas then pointed his gun at Orion, shooting him back as he charged his sword. Before Orion could recover, he was hit with a massive wave of energy, forcing him to dimorph. Orion struggled to stand as Silas went behind a tree, emerging with a strange, trumpet like device.

"I will admit, you gave me a good fight," he told Orion, "But now it is time that I collected what I came for."

With that, he played his trumpet, which sucked silver energy from Orion. Orion cried out in pain as his life force was almost completely gone. His ranger key and morpher both turned to stone. When Silas finished, Orion dropped, completely exhausted. Silas smirked and turned around.

"Now for the other rangers," He said to himself. "Once I have the powers of the Earth's defenders, nothing will stop me."

Orion could only watch on in despair as Silas shrunk into the distance. He knew that he had to get to Earth and warn the others, but he could barely move. He would have to wait until his health recovered. He could only hope that he wouldn't be to late.

A/N: Well, how was that for a first chapter? I had to do this in order to explain how Silas had the Sixth ranger keys to use against the rangers, as well as get Orion out of the way for the time being. Don't worry; he will still be in the story, but for the time being he is incapacitated.

As for Silas himself, imagine Kraven the Hunter without the Russian accent. Yes, Basco is a pirate, but a hunter to me seems like a more dangerous villain to me. Besides, Super Megaforce ignored the pirate theme completely. If they can ignore their motifs, so can I. However, if you guys really want a pirate I will rewrite the chapter accordingly.

As for where I got the name, I must admit that I did not come up with it. As it turns out, early casting sheets for Super Megaforce included a Basco counterpart named Silas. I figured the name sounded appropriate so I went with it. Sorry if anyone was expecting something else.

Anyway, that's all for now. Please read, review, and enjoy
