Okay, so lets get a big thing out of the way: I actually enjoyed watching Power Rangers Samurai as it was airing. Granted, I was more around the target demographic as it aired, but it was the show that got me into Power Rangers after only being able to watch random episodes from seasons I couldn't really follow. It actually encouraged me to look at past seasons, like SPD and my favorite season of the show, RPM.

And before anyone asks, yes I am aware Samurai is often thought of as one of the worse seasons of Power Rangers made, and I can't really disagree with it the more I look back on it. Weird and often cringe-worthy dialogue, subplots that either drag on too long or didn't have enough weight to it, and WAY TOO MUCH red ranger worship.

But the action was always engaging for me to watch, it had more of a story than what I was expecting from it, and decent enough character development from at least some of the characters. (Fun fact: The green ranger for almost any season I watch always ends up being my favorite character, and that's not just because green's my favorite color.)

So after flying on a plane for the first time a couple weeks ago, I started to fall asleep a little, and in my dream 5 characters from shows I watched were in the place of the Samurai team. Keep in mind, I have had a power rangers fic in the back of my head for a while, I just couldn't see who I wanted in who's place, until now that is.

So before we begin, I do want to make a few things clear. I don't plan on adapting everything from Samurai. Some stuff will be original When I do take an episode to adapt, I'm going to do my best to spin it differently, mostly with how the characters will act around each other. Some subplots will be moved around, and will be assigned to the ranger I believe would suite it best, and will be changed from how they went in the season. Also, since this is a x-over for many cartoons, expect a lot of characters to fill the role of the nighlok unless I can't think of a suitable replacement and just use the monster used in the show.
