The Ultimate Team-Up: Samurai Versus Megaforce

Top of the World ~ Sequel: And the Ashes Fell Like Snow

Part 1: The Red Samurai

August 23, 2014

Seaside Cliff, Harwood County

The Red Ranger leading this team of five Rangers, their spandex's main color being white, called out, "Alright, team! Let's nail these Loogies!"

"Right! Megaforce Weapons, Activate!"

And with each of their respective weapons in hand, they charged. They didn't really care if this attack of Loogies was sudden or random, or just plain out of the blue. They could worry about that later.

Emma Goodall, age seventeen, nearly eighteen, was Megaforce Pink. She controlled the wind and the Pheonix Zord, and she was calm, sometimes a little hyper, especially when she was excited. She was the youngest on the team, but she knew how to kick major Warstar butt. She had proved herself many times, so the others were certain she would take care of herself. She cared a lot about the environment, and photography was her passion, as was BMX. She rode her bike to school every day with her best friend Gia, and she got mostly A's and sometimes B's, but she was the heart of the team. She was their team spirit, and she knew how to get people's hearts in the right place.

Noah Carver, just turned eighteen, was Megaforce Blue. He was the only Ranger who had the power of water, of the sea, and he controlled the Shark Zord. He was mainly calm, nerding out when he found something scientifically interesting. He was a nerd, the smartest of the group and definitely the brains behind the team, always thinking before he acted. He didn't get a lot of humor, but when he did, it was usually science-related. Robo Knight was the same way, and that's how Noah could relate to him so much. All his life, he focused on his academics, leaving him somewhat physically weak, but the others, Jake especially, helped him believe in himself. And with his friends by his side, he got stronger day by day.

Jake Holling, the oldest at age nineteen, was Megaforce Black. He controlled the land, mainly rocks, and the Snake Zord. He was the goof-off, the rebel. He didn't much about logic. He could leave that to Noah, whom he knew for a good majority of his life. Even though they were different, they became good friends quickly, even best friends. And while Noah was the brains, Jake was the muscle. He had a major crush on Gia, though at times, it seemed pretty stalker-ish, but he just wanted to hang out with her. He was a jokester, sometimes annoying, but once you got to know him, he was a very nice guy, and you would want him on your team.

Gia Moran, older than Noah at age eighteen and a half, was Megaforce Yellow. She, like Jake, controlled the land, but she held the power over plants and also the Tiger Zord. She was the school's Little Miss Perfect, also known as the toughest girl in school. No one wanted to mess with her, but everyone admired her. However, she didn't really seem to enjoy the attention, even though she took advantage of it, but not for herself. Never for herself. She always took advantage of the attention for others. She wore a mask, an I-don't-care attitude, a pretty mean poker face, as to not show her emotions to anyone else. She was that way around even her own team, but Emma, being her best friend since kindergarten, could easily open her up a bit. They too, like Noah and Jake, were different, but they remained friends. She was tough, and she knew what she was doing when it came to saving the world.

Troy Burrows, the second oldest, just turned nineteen, was Megaforce Red. He, like Emma, controlled the wind, although he held the power over storm-like winds, as well as the Dragon Zord. He was the new kid in town, moving here about a year ago. He met all four of his teammates on the same day, the first day to his new school. Even though he was quiet, he was not shy. He was polite and big on respect, but he always stood up to bullies, especially if they were picking on others. Like Gia, he had a pretty mean poker face and seemed emotionless, but around the others, he opened up quite a bit. He may not have said it out loud yet, but he enjoyed the company of his team, his friends. Gia was his second-in-command, sometimes even leading the team together in perfect sync. he was starting to like Emma, and Gia was beginning to like Jake, but neither of them ever showed it. However, Troy knew his friendship with Gia was stronger than any of his bonds with the others.

As a team, they had put down a lot of monsters. The Warstar ship was still out there, as was General Malkor. They had put down both of his generals, Creepox and Vrak, both of whom proved to be tougher than they looked.

As the Megaforce Rangers fought of this wave of Loogies attacking the people on the beach, enjoying the last days of summer, from a crevice, glowing red, a familiar stranger was watching them. He laughed evilly.

"Revenge shall be swift, Rangers. Mark my words."

Octoroo glanced at the Sanzu River before him. The ship had sunk many months ago. He had to admit, he was pretty lonely without Dayu or Master Xandred. A fight with anyone was something he was itching for.

He too wanted revenge, mainly for his fallen master. He glanced back at the stranger and asked, "Who are you? I've asked that question a million times, Oo-ah-oo."

"It does not matter who I am," the stranger answered. "Let us plan our revenge."

Octoroo nodded, weary of this stranger. He looked exactly like his fallen master, but he sounded different.

Ernie's Froyo Shop, Downtown Hargrove County

Troy was waiting for Ernie to finish the order he had just put in. None of the others could come with him. Jake was practicing his soccer kicks, Gia and Emma were painting each others' nails, talking about girl things only they could understand, but apparently, it was very important. Noah was studying some dirty water that looked like it had chemicals in it, but he was testing it to make sure.

They all like different flavors, but milkshakes were all five's favorites. And Ernie being the one who made them from scratch made them even better. They knew each other for nearly a full year, and they had all gotten to know each other like the back of their own hands. They were Juniors last year, and this year, they would be seniors.

Ernie came out of the kitchen with the buckets of homemade ice cream, ready to start on the milkshakes when everyone in the malt shop heard a crash outside. Thinking it was only someone tripping over a table, they did nothing to see what was wrong. But Troy had a feeling it was deeper than that.

And he was right.

Something weird, a fish-faced monster had appeared in the window, a sword in its hand, raised and ready to attack.

Loogies?

Those by the window shrieked in horror and fear and quickly got up and rushed to the back of the restaurant. Troy looked back at Ernie after watching the people in the shop do this. Ernie had a broom in hand, ready to fight.

But Troy called back to him, "No, don't! Stay here, Ernie. It's too dangerous! Stay and look after these people, okay?"

Ernie nodded as Troy ran towards the front doors and exited the shop, attacking the weird looking Loogie on the way.

As he sent one flying with a hard kick, Troy surveyed his surroundings. He couldn't morph. No yet. Not when there were so many people around.

But were they Loogies?

Since when did Loogies have weird fish-shaped faces?

He caught one off-guard and then punches another two in the face.

"Sorry," he politely called out, "but I gotta borrow this!" He grabbed the sword of another and, imagining it was his Dragon Sword, he fought all of them off with it.

Where were the others?

He looked around again, this time catching the fact that the area was empty, so he took out his morpher and his card. While running forward, back into the fight, he morphed. "Go, Go, Megaforce!" Brandishing his real Dragon Sword, he struck one down before moving on the next. Before he could do so, however, one struck him in the back.

Troy collapsed on the ground and rolled off to the side in order to avoid what could have been a lethal hit.

Since when were Loogies this strong?

Red boots stepped off to the side, but they were not his own. Troy glanced over to where this new stranger was.

Another Red Ranger?

"Huh?" Troy asked himself. "Who is this guy?"

The prominent feature of his spandex was not how the collar was Japanese-style, nor was it the fire kanji on his helmet, but how awe-striking it looked. There was no black anywhere in the outfit, except for the visor in the helmet. It was all white and gold.

Troy knew who this was. The spandex design on his Ranger Key back at Headquarters was different, but Troy was sure he was still the same guy.

"That's far enough, Moogers," Troy heard him say.

So these things weren't Loogies after all. They were called Moogers.

Their names sounded very similar...

Oh well, Troy could worry about that later. He was too focused on the fight in front of him. He heard the Moogers growl and snarl at this Ranger, beginning to back away. It was almost as if they were afraid.

But one Mooger, who seemed like the leader of the group, urged the others to attack anyway, or it looked like it. Troy couldn't speak their language of snarls.

The other Red Ranger hooked up a black disk to the hilt of his sword, with was a Japanese-style sword, and unsheathed it. He glanced over at Troy and said calmly, "Don't worry, I'll handle this."

And he charged.

Troy watched this guy's fighting style. It was definitely Japanese alright. He was using kendo-style sword fighting, all while using Tai Kwon Do and a couple of other hand-to-hand techniques. Troy knew this because he too was a martial artist. Gia was too, but the others weren't, even though Jake was an athlete. It had taken a while, but he and Gia had taught the others some basic karate skills. Now, they were experts in fighting, or close to it. They still had a lot to learn, all five of them, or rather, six. They always counted Robo Knight as a part of their team.

Troy lost his train of memories when the other Red brandished a red disk and hooked it up the hilt of his sword.

This next part greatly intrigued him. His sword was engulfed in flames.

Troy could not do that without using a card, a special one at that, from Gosei. He controlled the harsher winds, whereas Emma had power over the breezes. They each had a certain domain. Troy and Emma could use thunder and lighting, but fire was out of their league, both of them.

But it seemed that this guy had the natural power over fire.

All of the Moogers were gone in a little explosion after a few red-colored energy slashes from his sword. When the smoke and flakes died down, Troy finally allowed himself to get up, and he raced toward the other Red, who had his back to him, sheathing his sword.

Before he could walk away, Troy bowed to him, saying, "Thank you."

The other Red turned to him, his facial expression hidden by his helmet. "It was nothing," was his reply. It was calm and gentle, but held power and authority within it. "Protecting this world is just what we were destined to do."

Troy de-morphed, allowing the other Red to see his civilian face. "Troy Burrows, Megaforce Red." And he held out his hand for him to shake.

The other Red also de-morphed, seeing that this Troy was no threat to him. When the red light faded shortly after, there stood a brunette-haired man, with blue eyes, wearing a red t-shirt, a black cotton jacket, but he looked almost exactly like Troy.

He took Troy's hand and shook. "Jayden Shiba, Samurai Red."

Jayden Shiba, now age twenty-one, was Samurai Red, controller of the element of fire and the Lion Zord. He had loosened up quite a bit since the others had departed. It was usually the other way around, but not for Jayden. He wasn't completely alone. He still had Jii, whom he had gone back to live with and whom he went out with a lot. Lauren also visited from time to time. He played his guitar, the one Emily got him for Christmas, and he had written quite a few songs. Jayden missed the others, but the one who was constantly on his mind was Emily. He had met a lot of girls while he and Jii were out and about, but he never forgot his promise to Emily. He would wait for her, even if it took a million years for her to return.

"Where's the rest of your team?" Troy asked, but he immediately shut his mouth, afraid that he just said the wrong thing.

Jayden merely shrugged. "They left. Our mission is over. Where's yours?"

"Busy. I didn't have time to call them," Troy replied. "Those... Moogers?" Jayden nodded. "Yeah, those Moogers were tougher than I had anticipated."

"At least you tried to hang in there long enough for me to arrive," the other calmed him down. "You okay?"

"Yeah, don't worry. I'm stronger than I look." Jayden smiled.

"All I'm worried about is the issue about this attack. What are Moogers doing so far away from their place of origin?" Jayden pondered over this carefully.

"Which is...Panorama City, correct?" Troy asked. Gosei and Tensou had made them memorize basic information about their predecessors, just in case a team-up was involved.

Jayden nodded, but asked, "Yeah, but...how do you know that?"

All Troy said to this was, "You should probably talk to my Mentor about that. And we had a random attack just yesterday. We don't know why. I mean, Warstar's been pretty quiet lately, but that Loogie attack was just out-of-the-blue. Come on. I'll lead you to our base."

~P~O~W~E~R~R~A~N~G~E~R~S~S~A~M~U~R~A~I~V~E~R~S~U~S~M~E~G~A~F~O~R~C~E~

Megaforce Secret Base

The others had gathered in their secret hideout, their Headquarters. Troy had contacted them, interrupting their "important" activities, telling them to report to Gosei immediately. Gosei, who was also contacted, agreed with Troy, his voice sounding like he knew something the others didn't.

They soon heard the sound of Troy's voice. He sounded like he was talking to someone.

"But this hideout is less conspicuous than ours was. Rather, still is, I guess," came the stranger's voice.

"I suppose." They came in sight, and the stranger was first drawn to the giant face on the wall. Troy continued, "This is our hideout. This little robot is Tensou and this," he motioned to the giant face, "is our Mentor, Gosei. These other four are my teammates." The stranger glanced at the others.

Emma and Gia both thought he was pretty cute. Blushes spread across their faces. Emma stuck out her hand.

"Emma Goodall, Pink Ranger." He shook it and nodded.

"I'm Gia Moran, the Yellow."

"Jake Holling, Megaforce Black."

"Noah Carver, the Blue Ranger," Noah also held out his hand, which the stranger shook.

Troy continued, "Guys, this is Jayden Shiba."

"The Red Samurai Ranger," Gosei finished. Jayden glanced up at him, fully confident that Gosei knew what he was talking about. He didn't know why. Gosei just had a tone in his voice that just told you that he already knew everything about you.

"You know him?" Jake asked.

"Of course," Gosei replied, "The Samurai are the Rangers before you. For three centuries, their families had fought the evil known as the Nighlock, demons from the Netherworld, and they finally succeeded in defeating Master Xandred not too long ago."

"January first," Jayden muttered. He knew that date like the back of his hand. That was the day the Samurai Rangers finally claimed victory against Xandred.

"Jayden!" They all turned to face the old main that had just entered the fort.

"Jii," Jayden muttered.

"Pardon me for being late," Jii replied, somewhat out of breath. "This is not the easiest place to find."

"It is this way for a reason," Gosei spoke up. "Mega Rangers, this is Mentor Jii, the Mentor to the Samurai. I apologize for keeping you delayed, but this fort is impossible to find to those who have never seen it before because of the very same reason you have protective symbols around your House. As long as evil still exists in this world, this fortress must stay standing, and the Power Rangers must always exist. My teacher, Zordon, taught me that. He repeated it over and over again."

This was just weird. They seemed like good buddies.

Jii nodded. "All is forgiven. And you are?" Jii turned to the Mega Rangers.

Jayden leaned in and said, "Power Rangers: Megaforce, Troy, Gia, Jake, Emma, and Noah."

Jii nodded, and Tensou spoke up for the first time.

"What were the Nighlock doing this far away from Panorama City?"

Jayden kneeled beside the robot and calmly replied, "I don't know, Tensou. But that's why I'm going to call the others, so we can sort all of this out."

"Already done." Jayden turned to his godfather with a grateful smile. "The others are on their way as we speak."

Jayden nodded, his smile never wavering. "Thanks, Jii. You're always one step ahead."

Jake suddenly said aloud, "Wait a minute. If Jayden's team comes here, then that means...we get to do our very first team-up!"

"Yeah!" Emma jumped up and down with him. "I can't wait to meet them!"

Jayden's smile remained, but the whole ordeal with Scott ran through his mind. That hadn't turned out so well at first, but things got better.

What if that happened with this team?

Would they ever make up if it did?

What if they never got out of this one?

Troy placed a solid hand on his shoulder, causing Jayden to glance over at him. Troy seemed to be reading his mind. "Don't worry. We're Power Rangers. Everything always works out in the end."

"But with a price," Jayden replied solemnly. He sounded very wise, and he technically was. "Things always work in our favor because someone usually pays a hefty price for it." Emily becoming the portal flashed through his mind. It still haunted him, even to this day. "What will the price be this time?"

Jayden only got along with Scott because his team was sucked into one of Cog's portals, one that was meant for him and Scott.

"Don't worry about it," Troy said in response. "No one will die, or suffer. I'll personally make sure to that if I have to."

Jayden did not smile, but he said nothing.

To Be Continued…

A/N: Well? What do you think? Tell me how I did! Review! How do you like the Jemily twist I gave it?

Also, on another note, I tried to add all of the Megaforce pairings in this story. I actually ship all of the ships in Megaforce, but I guess I am a little biased to Red/Yellow, Troy/Gia, to speak the truth. Sorry. However, I did add some Troy/Emma and Jake/Gia in there as well. The following is a little preview to the next chapter of the Top of the World series:

Part 2: "Dark Clouds and Impending Danger"

"With the other Samurai on their way, the plot thickens, in such a way that none of them expect. The price Jayden was talking about…was this it? If yes, who was paying the price now?"

Question of the Chapter: What do you think will happen next, judging by the Part 2 preview?
