Power Rangers Super Megaforce
The Darkness Within, Part 1 (Capture Him!)
Armada Ship
In space, the Armada Ship was orbiting Earth. Inside of the ship's main bridge, Vrak and his brother Prince Vekar were planning their next attack on the rangers. Vekar sat on his throne unamused at his previous failed attempts.
"Time after time, all of your creations have failed me Damaras!" Vekar shouted in anger. "Princess Livera, do you have anything to add, since your work is no different than his." He added in disgust.
The Princess said nothing and completely turned to the computer terminal. "No sire, I am afraid that I have nothing to add."
Meanwhile Vrak was on the lower level of the ship in his laboratory working on a plan to destroy the rangers from the inside out. "Those rangers won't know what hit them." He chuckled evilly.
Vrak exited the lab and reported to the bridge and gave the excellent news to his brother. "Vekar, I think I may have finally found a way to defeat those pesky rangers once and for all." He explained.
Vekar wasn't too pleased but he seemed intrigued enough to listen to was his older brother has to say. "Go ahead Vrak, I am listening." He replied.
Vrak went on to inform his brother of his plan. "Well I propose that we capture the red ranger, and brainwash him into thinking he is one of us. Then we will have him destroy his friends and once that is done, we will cut him loose and destroy him as well leading to the destruction of the Power Rangers…. Once and for all!"
The Prince seemed to like this plan and gave Vrak the order to proceed. Vrak returned to his lab and continued his work.
"If Vrak thinks he's going to win over father's hand, he's wrong. It will be me, who gets the throne." Vekar boasted, unbeknownst to him, Vrak was eavesdropping in on his little speech.
Vrak continued walking down to his laboratory. "So Vekar wants to gain access to father's throne, well once I steal the Sword of Darkness, and infuse the red ranger with its powers, and once I turn him into a lethal weapon, I will use him to destroy both the rangers, and my brother's empire then I will rule the Universe and I will have a formidable ally!" Vrak laughed maniacally.
Command Center
On the remote island, in the Command Center, Troy was glancing at the various ranger keys. For some inexplicable reason, he couldn't stop thinking about his reoccurring dreams.
"Gosei, why am I having these visions?" Troy questioned his mentor.
Gosei replied, "I don't know Troy, perhaps you should follow the dreams more closely." He suggested.
Troy was a little confused… "Wait, you want me to try and finish the dream?" he asked.
"Yes Troy, maybe, the answer you seek lies within." Gosei spoke.
Troy then left the Command Center and went out for some fresh air. Meanwhile Tensou and Gosei began to have a conversation they hoped no one would hear.
"Gosei, should we tell him?" Tensou pleaded.
Gosei replied hastily, "No, he must learn on his own. If we tell him now, he will never forgive us."
Tensou rolled around. "Oh dear, oh dear, this is not good. We can't keep this secret much longer… eventually he and the other rangers will figure it out. I mean it is not every day we selected the teenager who just happens to be the son of the two strongest rangers, of whom one was once the Queen of All Evil!" he rambled.
"Keep what secret Tensou?" a voice said from behind the control panel. Unaware, Troy had walked back into the Command Center.
"Gosei, we have to tell him." Tensou motioned.
"Very well Tensou." Gosei replied. He then went on to explain to Troy why he was chosen. "Troy, there is a very specific reason I chose you as the Red Ranger, however, you must not tell the others… if they found out, the alliances between friend and foe could be tested…." He informed the young teen.
Troy nodded in agreement. "Alright Gosei, so what is this about?"
Gosei continued his story. "Many years ago, in a solar system not too far from ours, there were two young siblings, Andros and Karone. They lived with their parents peacefully on the planet of KO-35, until one day when the two were playing in the park, Karone was kidnapped by a bounty hunter named Darkonda… Darkonda left her to be raised by one of Dark Specter's soldiers, Ecliptor. She was raised to be evil and became Astronema. As she grew into a young adult, Astronema was chosen to defeat the Power Rangers and she had failed many times. At one point, she had an identity crisis which lead her to siding with her brother and his friends, the other Space Rangers… But Dark Specter had other plans. He recaptured Karone and reprogrammed her with cybernetic programming causing her to believe she was only Astronema, Princess of Darkness. Not long after, Astronema lead a massive assault on the universe. Her brother, Andros, who was also the Red Space Ranger, made one of the hardest sacrifices a ranger had to ever make, destroying his mentor and friend, Zordon. Zordon's energy completely decimated most of the evil in the universe, and purifying those who he believed deserved a second chance. About a year later, Karone made her way to the planet of Onyx to retrieve the Pink Quasar Saber. Reluctantly she was chosen by the fallen Pink Ranger, Kendrix and took on the mantle as the Pink Galaxy Ranger. During her time as a ranger, it was there she fell in love with the current Red Galaxy Ranger, Leo. After their final battle with their mortal enemy Trakeena, Leo and Karone conceived a boy…. Which in a prophecy that I had discovered eons ago, it stated that a child born from a villainess and a ranger will rise and destroy the Armada from the coming invasion. Once I found this out I knew you would be in grave danger so I had Zordon inform your Uncle and you were put into the foster care system to shield your true identity….. You are that child Troy." Gosei spoke.
Troy was in shock. Trying to take it all in. "So you're saying my birth parents were rangers too?" He asked.
Gosei feared this next question.
"So where are they? Can I see them?" Troy pleaded.
Gosei replied, "No Troy, I'm sorry but that would put you in more danger."
Troy wasn't too happy with Gosei's response. He stormed out of the Command Center. Tensou wanted to follow him but knew he had to stay in the Command Center.
"Gosei, what shall we do now?" Tensou asked.
"Let him cool down. He is a bit angry so I take it he will need time to think about this." Gosei mentioned.
Armada Ship
Vrak sat on the bridge closely observing the computer for Troy to make an appearance to where he was alone and vulnerable.
'Excellent, now is the perfect time to capture him!" Vrak stated.
He rose from his seat and walked towards the Port. "Zenoids, capture the red ranger and bring him to me at once!" Vrak ordered. With the snap of his finger, a small but powerful army of Zenoids teleported down to Earth.
Harwood Beach
Troy was angry at Gosei for keeping the secret. As he gazed at the waves in the ocean, the army of Zenoids appeared in front of him. "Great as if this day couldn't get any worse." He stated furiously.
Troy took his fighting stance and began to fight the army. Kicking, and punching as hard as he could, nothing was working. Two of the Zenoids leapt back onto their feet and took a hold of Troy's arms. Vrak was watching from the ship.
Vrak pushed the teleport button causing the army of Zenoids and Troy to disappear into a bright white light. In a matter of seconds, there was nothing left but an empty beach, Troy was gone.
Armada Ship
Troy grunted demanding the Zenoids release him "Let me go you freaks!' he demanded. The Zenoids held him tighter and took him to the bridge where they threw him in front of Vrak. Vrak smirked evilly and looked down at his enemy.
"Welcome Red Ranger, or should I just call you Troy." He stated.
Troy was angry. "My friends will find me… and when they do, you won't be so lucky." He boasted.
Vrak was unamused. "Hardly, cause once I am done with you, the Red Ranger will no longer exist." He replied. He motioned the Zenoids to strap him to a chair.
As the Zenoids were preparing him Vrak told Troy of his plans. "You see Red Ranger, once I convert you, you will only serve and fight for me. We will do many great things together. Together, we will Rule the Universe. Just like your mother!" he commented. Vrak began to laugh maniacally which could be heard deep into Space.
Astro Megaship
On the Astro Megaship, the alarm was blaring. "D.E.C.A., what's wrong?" an unknown voice said.
D.E.C.A. replied, "It seems that the Armada has launched their assault on Earth. What would you like me to do?"
The unseen person commanded, "Alert the other rangers and set a course for Earth, maximum Hyper Rush 9."
"Course is locked." D.E.C.A. replied.
The Astro Megaship went into Hyper mode and began to venture is way toward Earth.
