A/N: I hereby present to you all my own adaption of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. It's got a much darker theme to it than Super Megaforce, which, by the way, I do not hate. I merely believe they can do better with it, like give Gia her own focus episode or arc or something, for example. I've changed many things about this Gokaiger-adaption, some similar to Super Megaforce, some completely made-up, and others similar to Gokaiger.
Disclaimer: I do not own Power Rangers, or the Super Sentai references, sadly. Mr. Saban does and always will (and Super Sentai belongs to Toei Animation).

Power Rangers: Legendary Guardians
Episode 1: The Legendary Rebellion
January 15th, 2015
In the events that succeed Megaforce's victory against the Warstar Aliens, there is silence and peace.
And everyone relaxes, relishing in the fact the Earth is safe from evil once again.
But one day, Tensou unexpectedly goes haywire. No one knows what's going on, until an outdoor explosion shakes the Command Center to its core. The shockwave knocks the five Rangers off their feet.
Troy is the first one up, and Gia is the second. Noah and Jake follow afterwards as Gia helps Emma back on her feet.
"What the heck was that?" Jake asks, and before Gosei can reply, a loud, terrifying voice resounds throughout the air, all over the planet.
"Citizens of Planet Earth, this is an eviction notice! We are the Galactic Armada. Those who dare defy us will be executed on site. This is your only warning, Earthlings! Surrender now and we will spare your lives!"
Troy turns to his mentor. "Gosei, what is going on?!"
"I didn't think it would arrive so soon," Gosei mutters.
"What would?" Noah asks, all five of them confused.
"The Galactic Armada!" Tensou is the one who responds. "We detected them a while ago on long range sensors, but at that time, we only estimated them to come here at least three months later than now. We weren't expecting them so soon!"
"Why didn't you warn us earlier?" Emma asks, gently. "When you first detected them?"
"You were all so absorbed in your victory. We didn't want to ruin that," Gosei replies.
Though touched by Gosei and Tensou's reasoning, Troy's mind wanders to the real task at hand.
"We appreciate that, Gosei," he says, "but next time, I, at least, would like to be informed. Besides, we can't just stand here, wondering what the heck is going on. We have a duty as Power Rangers to reverse that 'eviction notice' so that it's directed towards them instead of us."
"He's right," Gia states. "We need to go out and defend the Earth."
They all nod at each other, before pulling out their morphing cards.
"Go, Go, Megaforce!"
Before Gosei and Tensou can reply, the five Rangers are out the door.
All throughout the battle, there are heavy casualties among the civilians, and the Megaforce Rangers struggle to even strike down one group X-Borgs by themselves. She was in perfect health when she started fighting, but now Emma is struggling to keep up.
There is one instance in which the Rangers are brought into temporary hiding, while strangers tend to their injuries, somehow knowing they are Rangers, and one man, dressed in red and black, splits everyone into five groups, and it makes Emma and her team realize that these strangers are their fellow Rangers.
The man, who introduces himself as Dr. Tommy Oliver, sends them out, and the battle resumes.
By the end of the day, every single Ranger is dead tired, but all are determined to win this fight. Using the sum of their power and energy, the burst sends the Armada a thousand light years, but only after something happens to several of the Rangers among the five groups.
Something Emma cannot explain.
The energy burst is all Emma remembers seeing last, and she blacks out.
This battle is eventually known in history as the Legendary War.

May 23rd, 2015
Emma's brown eyes eventually flutter open, and they meet brown eyes just like hers, but they're looking down at her.
The eyes belong to a boy, a little older than her. He turns his head to the side and shouts over his shoulder, "Hey, she's awake!"
A young woman, dressed in a yellow dress and brunette hair, jogs over to where they are, politely asking, "Please, don't yell, Mr. Grover. It's bad for the patient."
"W-Who…a-are you?" Emma's throat is parched and it's hard to speak. Not to mention, it really hurts, too.
"I'm Ziggy Grover, Ranger Green from the RPM Rangers."
"I am Maya, from the planet of Mirinoi. I am the Yellow Ranger for the Lost Galaxy team," the woman replied. "Remember?"
"Or rather, we were," Ziggy's voice has grown sad and dark.
"W-What do you mean–?" Emma begins to ask before she begins to cough violently.
"Take it easy!" Maya exclaims, holding a scanner of some type in her hand.
A glass of a gold-colored liquid is held out in front of Emma. Emma stops coughing long enough to glance over and meet the hazel eyes of a blonde dressed in yellow. "You probably shouldn't talk for now." Her voice is soft, but hard and tough, like she is a gentle, free-spirited soul who had just experienced a traumatic event. "Drink this. It's a healing potion. Mentor Jii devised it when he was a kid, and it's always made us feel better."
A flash of memory comes back to Emma, where this same girl is treating to her leg injury during a battle. One name comes to mind.
"Emily Suzuki. Samurai Ranger Yellow," Emma replies. The girl, Emily, merely nods. "Thanks." A little smile comes across Emily's lips, but it goes away as soon as it comes. She merely watches as Maya helps the younger girl sit up, and Emma slowly sips down the healing potion.
More people enter the room, which Emma observes as a recovery room.
When Emma speaks again, her voice is a lot smoother, and it feels better to talk that last time. "Where am I? And what happened?"
"You're in Dr. K's secret lab," Ziggy explains. "You've been in a coma for about five months."
Emma nearly chokes on her drink. "Five months?"
Maya nods. "It's May 23rd. You must have fought past your normal limit, because you passed out after we initiated that energy burst. The Armada was pushed back several light years, but they'll be back in about seven or eight months."
"And that energy burst, Emma," Emily speaks up, quietly. "It took up all of our energy and powers. We can't morph anymore."
This comes as a major shock to her. "Can't morph? If the Armada attacks again, how are we supposed to fight?"
"Dr. K is currently working a solution," Ziggy says. "She won't tell me what it is, but she has Tensou working with her. Gosei…is that his name?" Emma nodded. "Gosei is working on something even more classified. None of them are biting."
"And it's starting to eat you alive," an African-American male, dressed in blue, entering into the room with numerous others.
"Now, now, TJ," Ashley interjects. "Dr. K said she will tell us when it's finished."
"Presumably not to get our hopes up too high," Madison adds.
Among these others, Emma notices familiar faces. They are few, but she gets the feeling these are the only faces she will see for a long time.
She notices Dana, Dax, and Will. Their two teams, Lightspeed Rescue and Operation Overdrive, had collaborated with hers as the Fifth Assault Squad.
She sees TJ, Justin, Andros, and Ashley, the Turbo and In Space teams grouping up with the Alien Rangers and the Time Force Rangers to form the Third Assault Squad.
She remembers Emily, Lauren, Casey, Dustin, Shane, and Tori forming their own teams, Samurai, Jungle Fury, and Ninja Storm, to make the Second Assault Squad.
She observes Flynn, Scott, Ziggy, Leo, Mike, Maya, Madison, and Syd as the RPM, Lost Galaxy, Mystic Force, and SPD teams allying themselves to form the First Assault Squad.
When the famous Dr. Oliver enters to room, Emma remembers the Fourth Assault Squad, forming Billy, Adam, Kira, Alyssa, Taylor, and Tommy himself, combining the Mighty Morphin, Zeo, Dino Thunder, and Wild Force teams together.
"I see our patient as regained consciousness," Tommy speaks up, cutting through Emma's train of thought.
Emma nods.
"Just one more question, though," she begins. Tommy motions her to keep talking. "I understand that we can't morph anymore and that our energy burst only delayed the Armada for only about a year, but…why are there so few of us left? Where are the others? Are they dead?"
"We sure hope not," Alyssa replies.
Emma raises an eyebrow in confusion.
"What she means to say is that," Dustin adds, once they catch her new expression, "we think the Armada might have kidnapped the others before our energy burst was initiated."
"Prisoners of the Armada?" Emma sums it up in four words.
The others can only nod.
"That's right." Emily is the only one who dares to speak, her tone hard and bitter. "We've been left behind to die, while they suffer a fate worse than death."
"Emily," Scott's voice acts as a warning.
"Oh, let her grieve," Lauren speaks up. "We're all going through the same thing. We all understand the feeling of being left behind."
Something in the young woman's tone suggests to Emma that Lauren knows something that the others don't.
But Emma doesn't question it.
She only grieves with them.

January 11th, 2016
Eight months have passed since Emma first woke up. Many of the Rangers still alive and on Earth went back home. Some stayed behind at the lab, which the remaining Rangers named their new Headquarters.
Emma is among the few who stayed. Maya had stayed behind as a medic, but mainly a counselor. Billy had stayed as a technician. For what, Emma still has no clue. Ziggy and Dr. K, she found, were dating, and ever since Dr. K had detected the Armada, he had refused to leave her side. His remaining teammates, Scott and Flynn, had gone back to Corinth, which was in another dimension. Tommy is apparently involved in the classified project Dr. K, Tensou, and Gosei are currently working on. TJ and Emily had also remained at the lab.
Everyone else had either given up, or had gone back home in order to protect it when the Armada returned.
TJ is friendly, and he and Emma had developed a real friendship. Ziggy is a bit of a jokester, but the Legendary War had spooked him pretty bad that he often jumps at loud noises and the like. Maya, as a counselor, is very social and empathic. Emma likes her a lot. Tommy acts like an older brother and/or father to the rest of the occupants of the lab. Emma knows she can count on him. She hardly sees Billy, as he is working, but he is very intellectual, but friendly, same as Dr. K. Emily reminds Emma of Gia, a lot.
Just like Gia, Emily was a "tough" kind of girl. Her real personality was hidden behind a wall of traumatic events, a wall that hardly anybody could break, if anyone could break it. But underneath that mask Emily always wore, Emma could see a kind, gentle-hearted, yet strong and determined girl.
That and Emily was very good at hand-to-hand combat and when she had a sword in her hands, she could do some real damage.
…
Emma watched her train sometimes.
Now, in the present day, Emma is watching Emily train again. She's sitting down, off to the side, watching as the older girl works on her hand-to-hand techniques. So far, she has not been detected by the former Samurai, not even twenty minutes in.
Just by watching the older girl, Emma can see her true self.
And she wonders what Emily went through to make her so hard-feeling.
And she feels bad for her.
"I don't need any pity, Miss Goodall," Emily says, almost coldly.
"H-How did you know?" Emma asks.
"I've known you were there the entire time," Emily replies, less cold now, Emma notes. The former Samurai stops her training and goes to sit down beside her. "You've been watching me train."
"Just observing," Emma says. "And I wasn't intending on giving you pity. I was just wondering what happened to you. I mean, when you were treating my injuries during the War, you were happier, kinder…more social. But afterwards, when I woke up, you…you were different, and you're training so hard. Sometimes, you even make yourself sick."
"Emma," Emily's gotten very quiet now, "I changed because I let something happen. Something I dreadfully regret. The reason I train so hard is so I can…so I can correct my mistake."
Her story is eerily similar to the older girl's. It's so scary.
Emma feels as though she too made a dreadful mistake. But Emily's is heading down the right path. Instead of wallowing in self-pity, she trains day after day, waiting for the Armada to return.
And that's what Emma should be doing.
"You're very sensitive, aren't you?" Emma quietly asked.
"Yes, I was."
"I'm not referring to the past, Emily. You have a mask on, one that I can see through," Emma replies. "You are still sensitive." Emma pauses, as the older girl ponders over this. "Can I train with you?" Emma asks, and Emily sends her a small smile.
"Sure." The two girls stand up and walk to the center of the floor. Emma got into a fighting position. "Jackets can interfere with your swinging ability. I'd suggest taking it off."
Emma took this into consideration, and carefully took off her denim jacket. Getting into fighting position again, Emily makes the first move.
As the spar continues, Emily constantly gives Emma advice and tips. Their session is interrupted when TJ comes into the room.
"Hello, ladies," he says, in a friendly, brotherly manner. The two greet him as they break off their spar and get hydrated. "I see you're helping Emma with her fighting."
"Yep," Emily replies.
"How's your sword work coming along?"
"Pretty good, so far," Emily answers.
"Sword work?" Emma repeats.
"Jayden first introduced the technique to me when we were still fighting the Nighlock. Lauren began to actually teach it to me before she left five months ago. I've been training by myself ever since."
"What kind of sword technique is it?" Emma asks.
"Using two swords at the same time, something Jayden often did. Only a master swordsman can use this technique," Emily says. "I've been trying to master the technique ever since the Armada was sent away by our energy blast. I'm almost done, just a couple more blockages to get past first."
"You'll master it," Emma pipes up. "TJ and I, we know you will." TJ nods, proving her point. Emily sends them her smile. Her rare smile.
Ziggy walks into the room, and the other three turn to him. "K needs to see all of us. She says it's very important."
The four went into the newly dug tunnel, where the chamber it led to was Megaforce's headquarters, the Command Center.
Gosei is on the wall. There is also Tensou there, carrying a small box around his neck, via a strap. Billy is off to the side, holding a case, standing next to Maya. Dr. K is standing in the middle, Dr. Oliver next to her.
When the four are brought to their attention, Dr. K begins.
"Hello, Rangers. I am aware that rumors of a classified project were going around for about a year now," K begins. "Due to its completion, I can now inform you that those rumors are true. I have been working on a new set of morphers."
"New morphers?" TJ asked.
"That is correct. Mr. Cranston."
Billy opened up the case he was holding. Within the case were black cellular morphers, with red trimming, and a white symbol on it.
A skull with swords set in an X formation.
"The skull and swords kinda remind me of a pirate," Ziggy says.
"That was our intended motif," K replies.
"Why pirates?" Ziggy asks.
Dr. K dodges the question. "And staying true to this motif, we have developed keys. Tensou."
Tensou opens his box. There five keys, all in the shape of a human-like figure, all colored in different colors: red, blue, yellow, green, and pink.
"These keys, when inserted into the morphers, will allow one to morph," K explains.
"Why did you make these morphers?" TJ asks. "What's the purpose?"
"We made the morphers for you," Tensou is the one who replies. "Since your Ranger powers were taken from you in the Legend War, we decided that making new powers would help things go a lot more smoothly when the Armada returns."
"I convinced them that it should be your choice," Maya announces. "If you want to be a Ranger again, it ought to be your decision. No one's forcing you into this."
"There's only a handful of us," Emma recalls. "How could we possibly have a chance of beating them next time?"
"We don't give up, that's how," Tommy replies. The others turn to him. "When the Armada returns, there will be even more casualties than last time, and even though we lost our powers, the Rangers could possibly still be a threat to them. As long as there is even one team of five Rangers, one that refuses to give in, the Armada may be weakened, even defeated. I personally accept the red key."
Tommy took a morpher from Billy's case, and the red-colored key from Tensou's box.
"He's right," TJ says. "I personally accept the blue key, in order to increase by chances of being able to protect the innocent."
After TJ receives the blue-colored key from the box, Emily speaks up, her voice bitter again, "I made a mistake I need to make right. I don't want to make that same mistake again. If any of the innocent are killed on my behalf, I'll never be the same. I accept the yellow key."
As Emily receives the yellow key from the box, Ziggy merely glances over at K. "Venjix nearly destroyed Corinth, and last time, the Armada destroyed this world. I can't let that happen again. I can't allow this city to be reduced to a repulsive wasteland like Corinth was. I accept the green key."
Emma glances over to the side, as Ziggy retrieves the green key from Tensou's box.
'Stay strong, Emma.' That's what Gia used to say.
'You can do it.' Jake.
'You are strong.' Noah.
'Don't give up.' Troy.
'Keep going.'And Robo Knight. He never gave up on his mission. Ever. He kept going.
They never give in. Why should she?
"I won't give up. Not when there's still hope left," Emma quietly states. "I can't accept the fact that it's over. Not yet. I accept the pink key."
Emma retrieves her pink key and the last morpher from Billy's case.
It is now that Gosei finally speaks. "Rangers, in addition to your new powers, I have given you a new ability." Confusion strikes them. "Along the walls of this chamber are keys similar to those you currently hold in your hands. Using these keys, you will be able to morph into any and all rangers from the past."
"How were you able to do this?" TJ asks.
"I managed to take back the Ranger powers before they fell into the hands of the Armada. It took up a lot of time and my energy, but I was able to place each individual power into their respective keys. You'll have access to them from your Ranger belts."
"Oh, Gosei," Emma replies in a sympathetic manner. "If it cost you that much energy, you really shouldn't have."
Tommy looks on. Emma is concerned about her mentor, a simple tiki-like face on the wall of the chamber.
She sees everyone as human. That is the best quality Tommy has ever seen in anyone.
"It will make your job as Rangers a lot easier. Or at least, less monotonous," Gosei responds.
"Gosei, Gosei!" Tensou begins to get frantic. "I'm reading an attack downtown!" Everyone turns to him. "It's the Armada! They've come back!"
An intense silence is induced all around.
"Here's your chance to strike back, Rangers," Gosei informs them.
The silence gets even more intense, until Tommy breaks it. "Remember those casualty reports a year ago?" The others nod slowly. "Can we really stand to get those same reports again?"
The others' stern glares said it all.
"Then, let's go."
~P~O~W~E~R~R~A~N~G~E~R~S~L~E~G~E~N~D~A~R~Y~G~U~A~R~D~I~A~N~S~
"Here, this way!" A kindergarten teacher urges her young students to run away from the monsters, colored in silver, with round cylinder heads.
At first, the little children found these silver men intriguing and interesting, but when these silver men began firing at buildings and other people, those thoughts went down the drain.
A monster different from the silver men, holding energy-based guns in his hands, appears to be leading them.
The kindergarten kids hide in a half-destroyed alleyway, with the teacher kneeling in front of them, ready to fight if need be.
But the different monster, the leader, finds them, making their hiding place just another place to be destroyed.
"Did you honestly think you could run from me?" The monster asks them, taunting them. "I am the Action Commander, Shikabanen, from the almighty Galactic Empire! That means that I and the strongest commander in the fleet."
A few of the little kids begin crying.
"You can't run. You can't hide. All you can do is cry, but I wouldn't even recommend doing that. No one will hear you."
Shikabanen grabs the teacher's neck and begins choking her. The kids don't know what to do, so they just stand there, behind her, crying their eyes out, scared.
"Don't hurt the kids! Just kill me and be done with it!" The teacher cries out.
Shikabanen throws her to the ground. Other civilians in hiding, in close proximity, look on. One boy quietly asks his father, "Is this our future?"
The man replies in the same manner, "This planet may not have a future."
Shikabanen, with his foot stepping on the teacher's face, points in gun directly into the faces of the little kids. They cry even harder. All the monster does is laugh.
"That's right," Shikabanen replies to this. "What lovely expressions! It excites me! Show me more fear!" The Action Commander points his gun directly into the teacher's face, the weapon charging with blue, destructive energy. "Thank you for entertaining me, but it's time to say goodbye now!"
No one does anything before this, but everyone freezes in fear when a red-colored energy blast hits Shikabanen's hand, forcing his weapon to lose its energy and charge.
Everyone turns to where the blast came from, and the teacher gets up off the ground, trying to get a good angle at who saved her.
Five teenagers/young adults are walking towards the scene, the one in the middle, wearing red, is holding a gun, colored red and black, with blue and white trimming.
Once the five stop a few feet away, Shikabanen notices the five aren't dressed like normal civilians.
They are dressed in Ranger uniforms, without the helmets.
"You! Zeo Red, Space Blue, Samurai Yellow, RPM Green, and Megaforce Pink! I read your profiles! If I recall, you guys are the wanted Rangers! You five have been accused of destroying our forces last year!" Shikabanen exclaims. "What are you doing here?!"
Tommy shrugs. "Who knows?"
"Oh, I bet you're just here to give yourselves up! In that case, come with me! Don't resist and we'll let you off easy!"
"Shut up, you idiot," Emily comments without pondering what the Commander says.
"What?! Idiot?!" Shikabanen sounds surprised. No one's ever called him that before.
"What she means to say is that we have no intention of giving up," TJ adds.
"This is not up for debate," Emma replies. "Please leave before we make you leave."
"That's damn right! I hate guys like you!" Ziggy exclaims.
"Have you Rangers forgotten?! We are the Galactic Empire! We defeated you!" Shikabanen was making it a debate anyways. "You know firsthand at what we do to those who defy us!"
"We do," is Tommy's response. "But we're not afraid. And besides, as pirates…it's the plank for those we don't like."
Each Ranger held up their new key.
"What? Pirates?" The Action Commander stood there, utterly confused. They refer themselves as pirates now?
Why?
The Rangers clicked their keys open, flipped open their morphers, and said, "Legendary Ranger Mode!"
And Shikabanen receives the answer to his previous question. Their new Ranger suits, complete with a helmet, are modeled after pirates, even their logo.
"Legendary Red!"
"Legendary Blue!"
"Legendary Yellow!"
"Legendary Green!"
"Legendary Pink!"
"Power Rangers: Legendary Guardians!"
Each Ranger unsheathes a pirate-like saber and gun. Without a second thought, Tommy fires the first shots, signaling the beginning of the fight.
As the five Rangers fight, the civilians on the side comment, "Could they really be the new Ranger team?"
Emma uses grappling hooks lever herself, shooting at a couple of X-Borgs, the silver men, before swinging over to another platform.
Emily cuts down X-Borgs left and right, before sending a kick right into one's chest and knocking him off the edge.
TJ uses his saber and gun equally to catch the X-Borgs surrounding him off-guard.
Ziggy falls of an edge, but catches the line from Emma's grappling hooks to catch himself, using it to bounce up and down to confuse the X-Borgs.
"Is that all you've got?" He asks them.
Tommy catches the staffs of two X-Borgs with his saber and shoots them with his gun. He throws his sword, sticking it into the chest of an X-Borg about to catch TJ off-guard.
Ziggy then loudly comments, "I need more fire power! Tommy!" He throws Tommy his saber, who kicks TJ's gun toward him with one kick. Ziggy catches the gun perfectly and continues his fight, using two guns at the same time, using the grappling hook like as a swing.
TJ grabs Tommy's saber from the X-Borg his leader brought down, and his own fight ensues, using two swords at once.
Tommy continues his battle with one gun and one saber.
A few X-Borgs use their staffs as bazookas, but TJ blocks all of their shots by slashing their bullets with his sabers in midair.
As Emily sends a roundhouse kick to an X-Borg behind her, Emma throws her gun over to Emily.
"Here! Use this for her technique!"
Emily nods. "Thanks!" She throws her gun over to Emma.
The two catch the said weapons perfectly, and Emma continues her fight with two guns, her experience with both the Pheonix Shot and her Blaster attributing to this.
Emily jumps, flipping over, and using both of her sabers to cut each and every single X-Borg surrounding her down. She swings the saber in her right hand in a circular manner, saying, "Don't worry about me quitting. I'm just getting started!"
Using the grappling hooks within her sabers, she begins to swing her sabers around, making sure to get each and every one of the X-Borgs.
Eventually, she catches her swords, as the X-Borgs around her explode.
Emily turns around to notice more X-Borgs appearing on the scene. The others join her, still holding the weapons they gave each other, and she says, "Just how many of these guys' butts are we going to have to kick?!"
"I say we use the secret weapon," Tommy suggests.
"Really?" TJ asks.
"We should!" Ziggy exclaims, and the two girls confirm the idea.
"Alright," Tommy says, each one presenting and opening their morphers again.
The five press the button over their belt buckle, saying, "Legendary Ranger Mode!" Clicking open the keys, they repeat the morphing call this team used. "It's Morphin' Time!"
"Mighty Morphin!"
"What is that, Teacher?" One of the kids asks.
"That is the first Ranger team to appear on Earth, the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers!" The teacher answers.
"Power of the…"
"Tyrannosaurus!"
"Triceratops!"
"Saber-Tooth Tiger!"
"Mastodon!"
"Pterodactyl!"
"Combine!"
A massive energy blast destroys about one-third of the X-Borgs in the area.
"Let's keep going!" Ziggy exclaims.
"Right!" Tommy agrees.
"Legendary Ranger Mode!" The Rangers formed a circle. "Go, Go, Samurai!"
As the Rangers unsheathed their swords and began fighting, Tommy shouted over to Emily. "Emily, you'll be our weapons expert, okay?"
"Gotcha!" She knew why. She knew how to handle a sword, plus numerous other weapons.
"Spin Swords: Quintuple Slash!" The second third of the X-Borgs were destroyed.
"One last time!" TJ suggested. The others nodded, and stood in reverse formation, blue and yellow on Tommy's right, with green and pink on his left.
"Legendary Ranger Mode! Magical Source–!" The five Rangers turn around, and combine their energies. "Mystic Force!"
Their combined powers get rid of the rest, but now the only problem was Shikabanen. He s been on the sidelines the entire time.
"I think you guys are having an identity crisis! Enough with the costume changes!" The monster sends energy blasts from his guns towards them, engulfing them in an explosion. "Just pick one!"
Tommy's wand turns back into his saber. "How about this one, then?" The five Rangers, each holding their own sabers, are back in the pirate suits, and they jump out of the explosion and charge at Shikabanen.
Each of the five Rangers get a strike in before K contacts with them through their morphers. "Rangers, insert your keys into the slots of your sabers. Your attacks will power up."
"Right," Tommy acknowledges, each of them holding up their pirate key. They click them open and insert them into the slots the sabers have.
"Legendary Saber Strike: Charging! Final Strike!"
With five multi-colored Saber strikes, Shikabanen meets his end.
After a short silence, Emma asks, "Did that really just happen?"
The others nod, and celebrate their first win after many losses.
This first battle and victory would eventually go down in history as the Legendary Rebellion.
~P~O~W~E~R~R~A~N~G~E~R~S~L~E~G~E~N~D~A~R~Y~G~U~A~R~D~I~A~N~S~
As Maya treats their injuries in the lab, K writing down notes on a tablet, Emily leans against a wall. When she speaks, her voice is solemn.
"If the Empire didn't view us as enemies before, they sure do now."
"What?!" Ziggy exclaims.
"It's true," Tommy interjects before Ziggy can say more. "We just killed one of their Action Commanders and a whole army of X-Borgs."
TJ adds, "And I get the feeling that Action Commander today, Shikabanen was just a small fry. He was just the beginning."
"Good deduction, Ranger Blue," K replies. "This was their comeback after a year out of commission. You ruined that for them, and the next time they attack, you can estimate that they will retaliate twice as much as today. I would exercise high caution."
"We know, K," Ziggy tries to calm her. "We know."
"It's okay," Emma eases into the conversation, handing Emily a glass of water, which she takes gratefully. "We just need to keep our chins up and keep fighting."
They all nod at each other.
They may all have different personal goals and reasons for becoming the new team of Rangers, but they are a team. And they all have one common goal.
To protect their planet from the destructive power of the Armada.
And to never give up until the Armada is defeated.

Somewhat based off of Gokaiger 1: The Space Pirates Appear
Note: I was originally going to have Dustin Brooks (Ninja Storm Yellow) as the Blue Ranger, but I wanted a more racially diverse cast. Tommy and Emma: Caucasian. TJ: African American. Ziggy: Corinth(ian? I guess). "Well, what about Emily?" Keep in mind, not only is she Caucasian, but she's also from Japanese descent.
A/N: Well? What do you think? Tell me how I did! Review, please! A preview for the next chapter:
