Episode 1

"The Superbird Squadron"

When the Machine World has a evil organization escape it borders for the fourth time, its up to a new team of rangers to face off against the legion of giant robots that are attacking on their home. As the other ranger team is too busy dealing with their own armies from their enemies, these rangers serve to come in when they aren't available.

Taking on the powers of a previous flight themed squadron, a spiritual successor is born.

[Beginning of Episode]

The Machine World, home of the sentient machines. They are like most inhabitants of the other worlds, except that normal bodily functions do not occur in these inhabitants. They work is seemingly unexpected ways to outsiders.

The Machine World is not known for it's security when it comes to interdimensional travel. Over the past several decades, several eveil robots armies has escaped the borders of the Machine World and attack other worlds as well. So far, this has happened three times already, as a fourth is about to escape into another dimension.

Within the Machine World is the planet Cybertron, a mechanical world full of humanoid transforming robots. On the planet are two factions: The Autobots and the Decepticons. These two are at war for thousands of years over the control of Cybertron, with many of it's fighters serving their side for thousands of years. They might be old, but they don't look any younger than they do hundreds of years ago.

Leading the Decepticons is Megatron, one of the most notorious robots ever known. He's always seem to be one step ahead of everyone, including his underlings. He's been fighting this war since the very beginning. However, in recent years, he has gotten bored of being stuck in this endless conflict. With the tide constantly turning, there is seemingly no end to this conflict. He needs something else to do, something that will stimulate them.

When the Machine Empire first broke out of the Machine World, inspiration struck. Megatron then gathered some of his best troops and opened a portal to one of the worlds.

Chasing after them in the streets are the Engines, retired partners to the Go-Ongers.

"Hey!" the red condor vehicle yelled as he chased Megatron in his flight form. "Come back! You're not getting away from this world!"

Several Engines attack Megatron and his minions, but they darted out of the way of their attacks. Some of them do get hit, but they aren't slowed by them.

"Mwahahaha!" Megatron laughs at his enemies. "Try to catch me, Engines. Go ahead. Just try."

The red condor vehicle growled at Megatron. "Not if I can step in!" he yells as he boost his speed.

The Engines continue to chase Megatron down the highway, inching closer and closer to catching him. But Megatron, in his usual fashion, has additional plans.

"Now, time to activate the portal to another world," Megatron told one of his minions. At the far reaches of the road, a portal appears. "Goodbye, Machine World! You're never going to see us again!"

Megatron and his minions then boosted forward, leaving the Engines to eat their wind.

"He's about to get away!" the yellow bear buggy points out.

"Hurry up!" the red condor told them. "We must catch him before he-" Before he could reach Megatron, he had already disappeared through the portal. And before he could jump in, the portal closes. The red condor clams his wheels in frustration. "Grr!"

The other Engines catch up to him.

"Speedor, how could you?" the yellow bear asks.

Speedor turns to the side, looking down in sorrow. "I'm supposed to be the fasted out of all of you," he admitted. "But even then, I was too slow..."

The blue bus then drives up to them. "Something wrong?" he asks.

Speedor slams his wheels in anger, roaring at his allies. "Yes, there is something wrong!" he answers. "We let a evil machine team out of this world for the fourth time! First it was a robotic amplifier, then immediately after that the Machine Empire escaped our borders, then it was a team of polluters who we fought against along with some partners, and now its a team of evil planes! Something must be done to stop this."

"But how? the yellow bear asks. "We don't know what world these planes are going to next. It could be the Human World. Or it could be any other inhabited world within our vicinity. Who knows what world they're targeting this time."

Speedor then calms down and slumps to the ground. "Why do we keep on letting these things happen?" he asks.

On the week before winter break of 2017, something attacked both Canterlot High School and Emerald High school, destroying them both and displacing its students and staff. Many of those who attended the attacked schools were transferred into nearby schools without paperwork, as they was deemed impractical, even with the two week time span before classes start again. Of those, sixteen selected students were sent off into someplace far away instead of going to a new school. They would rarely see their home again.

Spitfire was a student at Canterlot High. She is primarily yellow in skin color and had fire-like hair. During the transition after Canterlot High was destroyed, she was transferred into a nearby school: Pegasus High School.

She's already been in this school for several days starting from the beginning of the year, and she still feels disoriented. The layout is unfamiliar, she keeps on getting lost, and she frequently entered the wrong room.

During lunch, Spitfire slumps at a table with her friends by her side. "It's been two weeks since entering this school," she remarks, "and I'm still not used to it."

Spitfire was lucky that she has her two friends still be with her after the transfer. To her left is Fleetfoot, a cyan, white haired girl who has a coarse voice. To her right is Soarin, the twin brother of her friend's friend. Evidence exists in that he has blue hair, blue skin, and green eyes. All signs point to him being the twin brother to Sonic, which he discovered last summer.

Fleetfoot sighs. "It's a shame that Canterlot High is destroyed," she said. "That place was practically our favorite workplace. It had everything, all the paths of success for our future. And then it was taken away from us, right after we received a new student."

"Not only that, but Emerald High School has just been destroyed," Soarin brought up. "I feel really bad for the student that attended that school. Especially Sonic..."

Something came into Spitfire's mind. "Speaking of Sonic, I've heard that the two ranger teams, Team Sonic and The Rainbooms-" he began.

"Please, they're known as The Sonic Rainbooms by this point," Soarin corrected. "They've merged together just after the schools got destroyed, after-what? Nearly an entire of year of knowing each other?"

Spitfire rolled her eyes and continued on with what she is thinking, this time with the correct information. "Fine," she began again. "I've heard that the ranger team, The Sonic Rainbooms, have been moved into a base somewhere in the mountains where we would never see them again." Then she slumps into the table. "Ugg…"

Fleetfoot saw that her friend is in a bad mood. "What's wrong, Spitfire?" she asks.

Spitfire lifted her head up. "It was so awesome to hang out with Rainbow Dash," she admitted. "It would be so cool if we could join their team and hang out with them. We could be rangers as well and join their cause."

"Yeah, but don't expect to be rangers anytime soon," Fleetfoot reminded. "It's not going to happen. Besides, they are doing just fine what with their sixteen members. They're the largest ranger team to have ever existed. Do you really think that they could use three more members?"

"That would be cool to hand out with my brother again," Soarin brings up, "...if only my parents would let me go there."

"Come to think of it, we should consider paying them a visit," Spitfire suggests. "It's rough getting used to this new school, and seeing my friends again might just be the thing that would-"

During that conversation, Fleetfoot looked at the clock and realized that time is running out. "Guys! Lunch is almost over!" she announces.

This made Spitfire and Soarin realize that they have to hurry up. They've barely eaten their lunch. "Oh shoot!" Spitfire exclaims. "Did that much time pass by while we're talking?"

On the way home from school, Spitfire has a wish. "I'm telling you, Rainbow," she said. "One day, I will join your ranks as a ranger. I will help you in perusing you and your team's goal of protecting the world from the dangers that plague your life. I promise."

She eventually eeaches home and finds that her mailbox has mail inside. She walks up to it and opens it up, taking out any main she has recieved. Strangely, there is only one piece of mail in her mailbox.

"Hmm? What's this?" Spitfire said as she opens the mail up. In her hands is a special invitation to some sort of event. "An invitation to a sky show, in Sapphire Shores?" She's never heard anything about this event before. She thought about coming to the event for a while. "Eh, what do I care? Haven't heard of this anywhere." She decides to not attend this event, and tosses the mail back inside. "Well, time to prepare myself for a new day. I'm feeling so exhausted right now because of the new school I'm attending. Curse you monsters..." Spitfire then enters her home.

Unknown to Spitfire, there is someome in black hiding in the bushes, watching Spitefire disreguard the invitation, just like the other attempts.

"Agent 15, do you copy?" a commander said from his radio.

"She didn't fell for the invitation," Agent 15 reponds back.

"What?" the commander gasps. He can't beleive this. All six applicants decided not to go. "But we need her there right now."

"We've been doing this six times, sir," Agent 15 reminded. "And none of them came there."

The commander shook his head with disapproval. "Urg, it's like I said before," he said. "It'll never work like that."

"What should we do, sir?" Agent 15 wondered.

The commander thought about this for a while, before deciding that despreate times call for desprate measures. He told Agent 15 this. "Get some agents to...escort them to our base," the commander told him. "It might be forceful, but we have to do this for the future of our country."

This might seem hurtful in Agent 15's eyes, but the current situation has called for this action. He gets ready to send agents to the homes of those they wanted to their base. "When should we start?" Agent 15 asks.

"Tomorrow morning," the commander answers, "we send agents to their houses."

Morning dawns on Canterlot City, and it appears to be a normal winter day. Except for Spitfire. Her alarm clock today is some knocking on her front door. She tries to ignore this at first, passing it off as some persistant friend or a delivery man who didn't get the memo that he's supposed to just leave the package there. However, the knocking continues, and this wakes Spitefire up.

"Huh?" Spitfire says as she gets up, streching and rubbing her eyes. She appears tired right now. "Urg. Really? Something knocking on my front door this early in the morning? Come on."

Spitfire got up and got some small breakfast before the knocking got a bit too much. She decides to stop it right now and answers the door. Waiting for her on the other side are two men in black.

Spitfire jumps when she sees two strangers at her door. "What?" she gasps. "What are you two doing here?"

"Miss, someone summoned you to Sapphire Shores," one of them said. "We need you there right now!"

Spitfire regonizes the place as the supposed location of the air show she's been invited to. She wonders why she has to be there. "What? Sapphire Shores?" she asks. "What business do I have there? And what are you two strangers doing in front of my house? I didn't invite you here."

"There is no time," the other man said. "We need you there right now!"

The two men then grabbed Spitfire's arms and dragged her to their car. Spitfire kicked and tried to yank her arms from their grasp.

"Hey!" Spitefire yelled as she is bring dragged without her concent. "Let go of me!"

"Sorry, miss," one of the men apologizes. "But it's for the greater good. Don't worry. You'll be safe."

They then proceed to toss her into the back seats of their car.

"What? Hey!" Spitfire yelled. "Let me out! I demand it!"

She doesn't know where she is going or why, but something special is about to happen to not only Spitfire, but several other friends. From her own friends to friends from someplace far, they were being escorted to the same place.

Spitfire gets shoved into a mysterious room in someplace she didn't expect. The bag covering her head is lifted off her, and her hands were being freed. Shortly afterwards, the doors close behind her.

"Hey! What's the big idea?" Spitfire asks, demanding answers. "Where-am...I?" She stopped herself once she found who was in the room with her. She got up, confused about why they are here.

To her left are her friends. Soarin and Fleetfoot. To her right is a trio of people from one of the rival schools. She regonizes them as the partisipators of the most recent Columbia Games Junior League. There's Jet, the green one whose hair is tied in the ack in several plumes. Then there's Wave, the purple girl wearing a white bandana on her head. And then there's Storm, the large, muscular one decked in gray.

"Well, looks like you got the same invitation as us yesterday," Jet remarks.

Spitfire was confused by this. Just what is going on? "Wh-whatdo you mean?" Spitfire asks. "What invitation?"

"Remember this?" Soarin asks as he pulls out a mail he got yesterday.

Spitfire takes a closer look at the invitation. She regoinzies what it is. "Sapphire Shores Air Show?" she reads. "What? You got them too?"

"We found this lying around in our mailbox yesterday," Wave explains, "and the next day some men in black showed up in front of my house and straight up took me away without my consent."

"I'm not sure why they have to kidnap us," Fleetfoot asks. "That could've scared us to death."

Spitfire felt overwhelmed. Just what is her business doing here. The others are surely as confused as her, so she decides to ask them. "By the way, just why are we here?" she asks.

The others pondered about ther reason for being in this place. They have several theroies. Is it some tourture chamber? An escape room? A game? As the others thought about this, one of the lights flashes on, shining down on what seems to be a radio. It is emitting static.

"Huh? A radio?" Soarin said, the radio catching his eyes.

"What does it say?" Jet asks.

Wave then walks up to it. "Give me a moment," she told the others. "It needs some adjusting." She turns on the knobs, adjusting its capture frequency. As she turns the knobs, the voices became clearer.

"Hello?" a woman said from the other side. "Is anyone there?"

Spitfire regonizes the voice. "Wait, that's-" she spoke.

"Aww, great," the woman groans. "You regonized me. I was going to keep this a secret from you, but you outplayed me. Well done." She then sighs into her phone. "Fine. Let me introduce myself. My name is Gernal Firefly Dash, the founder of the Skyranger Stunt and Protection Agency. You may know me as the mother of one of the famous rangers that come from here."

"Sky-what now?" Jet asks, bewildered.

The group did not understand what's going on right now. Is this what the past events have been leading to? They were invited to an airshow in this city of Sapphire Shores, rejected the invitation, and they're kidnapped and dragged into this location, where they learned about why they are here.

Firefly explains her reason behind founding this agency. "Ever since my daughter became a ranger," she began, "I had dreams of recuiting others to help her cause of protecting our home from monsters. I forgot about it a while after I started, but then I got motivated to make this thing a reality because of one thing."

Spitfire leans closer to the radio. "What is it?" she asks.

"The Machine World is home to the worst security out of all the worlds for a place filled with evil organizations," Firefly explains. "This happened three times since 1975, and this year a fourth group has escaped the borders of the dimension. They're leader is known as Megatron."

"Megatron?" the group asks, looking at each other to see if they know about this entity.

"He leads a group known as the Decepitcons," Firefly explains. "According to reports recieved from the Machine World, these group of robots have been at war with another group of robots for thousands of years, at least from their definition of a year. They've been at way for longer than human cilvilization has ever existed, so long that the hatred against each other runs down to their very core.

The group scratches their head, wondering about this strange decision to move to here.

"But if they've been at war over there for thousands of years," Soarin began, "what makes them hop borders and travel to here?"

"After 1975, when the barrier between worlds got shattered, Megatron is seeking to travel into other worlds and dominate them," Firefly lectured them about the history behind this. "However, the forces tasked with defending these portals refused to let him escape, no matter how hard he tried. Eventually, after many years and thousands of attempts, he and many other of his own troops escape the Machine World and into our own."

The friends gasp in surprise.

"What?" everyone gasp out,

Spitfire shook her head in disbelief. "You've got to be kidding me, Firefly," she said. "Out of all the targets, put of all the worlds he could have chosen to move to, he chose our world to attack?"

"The ranger presence here has risen significantly since last year," Firefly explains. "I suspect that he has gotten word of how dangerous they are to his plans. Going to the Human World is pretty much suicidal, due to the experinces the rangers there have. Therefore, he chose this place to attack since the rangers there are much less experinced. That's why he attacked this world. He wanted to eliminate the ranger threat before it could threaten him."

"We have rangers, don't we?" Wave asks. "In this country? Don't we have...you know...the Gemrangers to protect us?"

Firefly recognized the name of the ranger team Wave has mentioned. "Ah, yes," she said. "The Sonic Rainbooms. My daughter's team, as well as my friend's son's. They're busy dealing with their own villians, three main ones in fact. A fourth would be a bit too much for the team to handle, even through they are sixteen members strong. That's why I brought you guys here. To recuit you as another team of rangers."

Soarin was enthusiastic when he heard that he is about to become a ranger. "Sweet!" he cheers. "I'll be just like by twin brother!"

"One more thing," Firefly said, adding something. "Your enemies will primary focus on the sky. Therefore, you need some pilot training to help you out along the way. You'll be proviced with your personal planes to help you take you those enemies. Like all ranger teams, you'll be getting your own morphers."

There's a knock on the door leading into the room the group is in. The door opens, revealing a staff who works at the agency. He is holding a briefcase in his arms, with the top branded with a gold bird symbol. "Special delivery for the Skyrangers," he said before opening the briefcase to the team.

Inside the briefcase are six wrist mounted devices. The top is a color-coded pentagon with furled wings on the sides. At the bottom is a color-coded button. The devices are arranged so that each device represents a vertex, forming a hexagon shape. The colors are, starting from the top and going clockwise, is red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. The team takes a look at them.

"These will be your morphers," Firefly said. "Cross Changers MK 2. Or as I would like to call them, the Sky Morphers. They're upgraded versions of the Jetman morphers."

Jet's ears perked up when he heard the name. "Wait, Jetman?" he asks as he turns towards the radio. "My father was a fan of that team! He named me after them to show his passion."

"Ah, your father," Firefly sighs, being reminded of a coworker. "I remember him well from my prime. Anyway, take them. They're yours for now."

Each member of the team reaches out and grabs each of the Sky Morphers. Spitfire takes the red morpher, Storm takes the yellow, while the rest of the team takes the morpher colored in their primary color. Green goes to Jet, blue goes to Soarin, cyan goes to Fleetfoot, and purple goes to Wave. As a callback to the team they are considered a successor to, they wear their morphers on their right wrist.

The team takes a moment to inspect their new morphers.

"So, how do you use them?" Storm asks.

"I'll explain when you get to your first mission," Firefly answers. "For your first day, we'll take a tour of the-"

Suddenly, alarms began to go off throughout the facility, signaling an incoming attack.

"Oh, would you look at that," Firefly said. "There's our first mission." She then turns her chair around to face an one of her coworkers. "Chuck, what's our status?"

Chuck scans the radar, paying attention to the incoming signal. "The enemy has been spotted near base grounds," he answers.

Firefly returns to face her phone. "Skyrangers, get outside and fast!" she commands.

The Skyrangers then ran out the room, getting outside to confront the threat that's heading in their direction.

It's just another day at the base for the Gemrangers, commonly known as The Sonic Rainbooms. The team is finishing up breakfast and spent the morning having a chat with each other, when all of a sudden...

"A threat has been spotted near Sapphire Shoes!" Median announces as alarms began to blare around the base.

The rangers jumps up from their seat, ready to take action.

"Another threat?" Sonic asks. "Well, time for us to go to that location and-"

Suddenly again, the phone begins to ring.

"Huh? A call?" Sonic asks, looking at the phone as it rings.

I got it," Rainbow said as she goes to the phone. She picks up the phone and answers it. "Hello?"

"Don't worry, sweetheart," Firefly said from the other side, assuring her and the team.

Rainbow was surprised to hear her mom calling to her right now. "Mom?" she asks. "What are you calling us for?"

"I have another ranger team that is right there," Firefly answers,

"And don't worry," Chuck said, speaking into the phone. "They're people that you know, a team containing people that you recognize. They'll be helping you out on your quest to protect this country."

Sonic was surprised to hear his own father speaking out to him. He walks towards the phone. "Hold on," he said as he walks up to Rainbow. "Am I hearing my dad just now?"

Firefly doesn't sound pleased with her coworker jumping into the call without her permission, especially after hearing his son from the other side. "Quiet, Chuck," she said. I think I heard your son from the other side."

The call then ends, prompting Rainbow to put down the phone. The team had just learned that there was another ranger team like them, serving to help them out.

"What's going on?" Median asks. "Did I just hear that there was another ranger team?"

The rest of the team just stares at each other, shrugging.

The Skyrangers burst out of the doors of the airbase, frantically searching for the enemy that was detected nearby.

"Where is that enemy?" Spitfire asks as she and the team look for something. "It better show itself."

Jet looks to the sky and sees a suspicious plane that is flying in the base's airspace. "Look!" he yelled, pointing to the sky. "Over there! What's that?"

The others turn to the plane in the sky. "A fighter jet?" Spitfire said. "What's it doing in our airspace?"

The jet scans the ground and finds six figures near the doors of the base below. "Interesting..." the jet said.

The jet flies down to the ground, slowing down to a complete stop. Then, it transforms, sprouting legs, hands, and a head. It touches down to the ground, blowing wind and dust against the rangers nearby. The jet has transformed into a robot, towering over the rangers by a factor of five, around the same size as the jet it transformed from.

"I suspect that those like you would be here," the giant robot said. "And you've showed your faces right in my sights."

Spitfire pointed at the robot in front of the team. "Who are you?" she asks. "And what's your business here flying around in our airspace? You're a suspicious object, and we know how dangerous those can be in our airspace."

The robot pointed down at the rangers. "I'll etch one name into your skulls just to you'll remember it when you are crushed by me," the robot declares. "Megatron!"

The entire team gasps when they heard that name. Surprise turned into anger as they realized that they are dealing with an escaped robot from the Machine World, just like several ranger teams before them.

"You," Spitfire said, pointed at Megatron. "You must be the one who escaped the Machine World along with your cronies."

"What can I say?" Megatron asks. "Fighting a thousand year war over territory and resources can get tiring after a while. Even with the breaks, I still get bored from fighting in that war for all eterinity. But those who escaped before me, oh, they inspired me to escape my world and take over someplace that is not used to us!"

"Face it, metalhead," Soarin said. "This has happened three times in the last fifty years, and all three attempts ended in failure." He pointed at Megatron, declaring that he and the team will defeat him. "You will be no excpetion, Megatron! The writing is on the stone."

"Don't expect it to be that easy," Megatron said. "Mini-Cons, attack!"

Planes fly from above the base and rained down human sized robots that are dropped from the sky. A horde of them appears on the grounds of the base, quickly leaving the Skyrangers surrounded.

"Ahh!" Jet shrieked. "We're surrounded!"

"How are we going to fight off?" Fleetfoot asks.

Storm has an idea in his head. "Oh! I know!" It said. "Hrg!" He punches one of the nearby Mini-Cons, only for it to withstand his attacks. His fist didn't even make a dent. "Huh?" Storm then realizes that this will not work. "Ahh! What's with these robots? They can take a blow from my fists!"

"Oh, this is bad," Spitfire groans, seeing her doom creeping up on he. "What can we do now?"

Their answer lies in the mind of the founder of this agency. "Skyrangers!" Firefly yelled.

The team looks at their morphers as the voice come out of it and speak to them. "Huh?" Spitfire grunts. "What is it?"

"Now's the time!" Firefly declares. "There's a button on the elbow side of your morpher. Press it, and the wings of the bird will spring out, powering yourself up and putting on a special suit. Now hurry!"

"You mean like this?" Soarin asks as he presents his morpher forward while hovering his hand near the button.

"All of you!" Firefly continues to yell. "Morph now!"

On command, the six rangers press the button located at the elbow end of their morpher. Upon pressing it, they are engulfed in a light which covers them as they go through a transformation.

"Ahh!" Megatron yells as he covers his optical sensors along with all the nearby Mini-Cons. "What? What is happening?"

With a press of a button, the wings unfurls and a head and legs spring out of the pentagon. Then, a swirl of energy emits from the morpher, going around the wrist of the user before upping the scale to engulf the user. The team looks at the streams as they swirl around them. Their bodies glow as their suit was being put on.

Then, the floor disappears from under them causing them to fall. As they fall, the glow stops, revealing them in their ranger suit. Gliding wings sprout up from under their arms, and the team glides forward as a bird styled helmet forms around them.

The team lands on their feet as the transformation sequence is completed.

"Gah!" Megatron screams as the glow stops. "What in the world is this?"

Megatron and the Mini-Cons stop and look at the rangers in their new form.

Spitfire, the red ranger, looks at her new form, from the arms to her legs. "Whoa!" she gasps in amazement. "We've got a new suit!" She reaches to a hoister and pulls out a ray gun. "And some new weapons."

Jet, the green ranger, pulls out his fans made of green leaves from a tropical source. "Well, good to see that my fans are in my hands," he remarks.

Soarin, the blue ranger, plays with a bat that he just got. He grabs it in his hands and looks at it. "Just like my twin brother," he said.

Wave, the purple ranger, spins a giant wrench in her hands before taking a tight grip on it. "Don't worry, you bots," she said. "I will repair you. Painfully."

Fleetfoot, the cyan ranger, pulls out a whip and swings it around, the end making cracking sounds in the air. "Looks like we're back to the classics," she said.

Finally, Storm, the yellow ranger, smashes his gloved fists together. "It's smashing time!" he said, stomping his foot down.

Megatron is stunned when he saw a new ranger team in front of his eyes. "And I thought that there was going to be one ranger team here in the area," he said.

Spitfire looks at her friends and allies. "Alright guys," she said. "We've got outselves some way to defend. Let's do it!"

"Yeah!" the others shouted.

The new team of rangers then engage in combat with the Mini-Cons. Spitfire blasted away at some incoming bots, stopping them in their tracks. Some were even knocked down to the ground. Jet, meanwhile, smacks, the robots with his fans, sometimes creating tornados that blow them away.

Storm picks up one of the robots by the neck and raises it up. He holds his fist behind him. "Wave goodbye to your face cameras," he said. And then he punches the robot, snapping it's neck hinge and causing sparks to fly out.

Soarin does exactly what his twin brother would do if he's faced with several enemies and he's armed with nothing more than a bat: swing away! He swings his bat at the robots, sometimes sending them flying or knocking their heads off.

Wave smacks the robots with her wrench, not much different from those heroes armed with a wrench. Sometimes, however, she shoves her wrench right inside the Mini-Cons. "Diagnosis," she began as she moves her wrench around the Mini-Con's insides. Then she rips it out, along with any wiring and metal plates caught in it's wake. "Malicious programming," she concluded as the robot fell lifeless into the ground.

"Ha ha!" Fleetfoot said as she smacks the Mini-Cons with her whip. "This is so much fun! Feeling burns in your circuits?"

The rangers continue to defeat the Mini-Cons, each focusing on a separate sector From above, Megatron watches as his forces are being quickly dealt with.

"Grr," he grumbles. "They're plowing through my forces with ruthless efficiency. Well, I know what to do." He turns around and blows a whistle.

The rangers hear the whistle as it's sound ripple through the area.

"Did I hear a whistle?" Wave asks.

Spitfire blasts yet another Mini-Con. "Don't worry about it," she assures the team. "Just continue to focus on these robots." She pointed her blaster at another Mini-Con, firing it off and destroying it.

After a few minutes of fighting, all of the Mini-Cons deployed into the area has been destroyed.

"Phew!" Jet said, wiping the sweat off of his face. "That should be the last of them. Now to face the man behind this-" He turns around to face the man behind this attack, only to discover that Megatron is gone. "What! Where is he?"

The other rangers caught the fact that Megatron is absent.

"He was right there a second ago," Spitfire pointed out.

"How did none of us notice him gone?" Storm asks. "He was really big! It shouldn't be hard to notice him right? Was these robots a distraction?"

Suddenly, they heard a loud barking noise. Fleetfoot turned in the direction of the noise. "Ahh!" she shrieks as she saw what's coming. "A giant dog!"

The team turns around and finds a giant, metallic dog approaching him. Its lower jaw is extended a bit from its upper jaw. Riding on top of it is Megatron himself.

"That's one noisy dog," Spitfire remarks. "And look at that jaw."

Megatron combs the head of the metal dog. "I'd like you to meet one of my pets that I bring along by journey to here," he said. "Meet Underbite! I'll just...leave him here for you to play with." He then hops off, transforms back into a fighter jet, the speeds off into the sky, becoming nothing more than a dot.

"Hey!" Jet yelled. "Come back you coward!"

Underbite barks at the rangers, threatening to blow them away with the force of his loud voice.

"Forget that!" Soarin responds. "There's a dog on the loose!"

the rangers prepare to fight Underbite, but before anyone can make a move, Wave is picked up. "Ahh!" she screams as she is squeezed between two jaws. While being bitten, drops of oil began to cover her body. "Gross! Gross! Gross!"

Underbite wildly flails Wave around, trying to tear her apart.

"Teeth off our friend, bad doggie," Spitfire said, pointing her blaster at the mouth of Underbite. She takes aim and accounts for the erratic motion of Underbite's head. Then, she pulls on the trigger and fires off a shot, making a direct hit on Underbite. Underbite has his jaw forced open, dropping Wave.

Jet runs up to Wave as she gets up from the ground. "You okay?" he asks.

Wave looks at herself. "Eww," she said, being grossed out by the used oil. "I reek of oil."

Underbite then frantically moves around the airbase grounds. Spitfire tries to focus her aim on the enemy robot, but finds the movement a bit too much to make an accurate shot. She lowers her blaster in frustration. "It moves too much!" she said. "Guys! Try to take out his legs!"

Soarin got in front Underbite's path, getting ready to swing his bat at it. "Here's a present from me!" he said. Then, as Underbite passes by, Soarin swings his bat at one of his legs, dislodging it from its socket and causing Underbite to fall.

"Let me throw a wrench in your gears," Wave said, getting ready to toss her wrench. "You know, as revenge for trying to take a bit out of me. See if you feel better after this!" She tosses the wrench and it pierces the metal armor of Underbite. She runs up to her wrench and rips it out, taking out any wiring that may be caught in it.

Spitfire's blaster charges up. It is nearing the end of the battle, meaning that it's time for the finisher to be dealt. She stands in front of the downed Underbite. "And now...here's comes the ultimate attack!" she said. With her dominate hand, she moves her blaster from besides her leg to above her head, before bringing it down to point it at her target. The blaster charges up, forming a ball in front of the firing orb. Then, with a press of a trigger, Spitfire fires off a blast more powerful than her regular laser blasts. The blast makes a direct hit on Underbite, creating an explosion at the impact site. The explosion threw a fierce wind that the rangers endured against.

"Did it work?" Jet asks as Spitfire lowers her weapon.

The smoke clears and it seems like Underbite has been defeated. Until a single twitch ion the leg gave it away that he's not done yet.

"He's still moving," Spitfire said. "Hold on. Give me one more shot and we'll finish this." Spitfire prepares to fire off another powerful blast, before Underbite inexplicably disappears.

"What?" the team gasps.

"He disappeared!" Spitfire gasps.

"That's because he's too damaged to continue fighting" they heard Megatron said.

The team turns around and finds Megatron sitting on top of the airbase.

Spitfire growls at Megatron, now the team's main enemy. "You again," she said.

"He's in a critical condition right now, thanks to you," Megatron explains. "I'll guess he's going to get some reparing done. In any case, I'm impressed that you meddling teens have managed to hold off my forces and my pet for so long. Guess I'll have to keep up the pace."

Jet clutches his fist directed at Megatron before swinging it away. "Megatron...you-" he began, but he changed his thought right away. "Come here and face us for once!"

Megatron laughs at the silly idea. "You'd think it's going to be that easy?" he asks the rangers. "I'll tell you what. None of this is going to be easy. Don't even expect it to be easy. We will challenge you to no end, just like with ranger teams like you. May we meet again, Skyrangers." And then Megatron disappears.

The Skyrangers transforms back into their regular forms, disappointed that on their first day on the job, they did not defeat their first enemy.

"Amazing work, rangers," Firefly applauded. "You may not defeated the mastermind behind this, or his pet. But you've still provided us wit valuable infomation. These ranger powers were a lot more powerful than we expected. Hey, come back to my office. I have a prize for you."

As ordered, the rangers reentered the base.

The team enters the office of Firefly, where they are greeted with Firefly siting at her desk along with Chuck who is standing nearby.

"Welcome back, Skyrangers," Firefly greeted.

Soarin got perked up when he saw Chuck there. His dad, his real dad. Not his adoptive one after the accidental swap. His real dad. "Hey! Chuck! Dad!" he said. Then he runs up to Chuck, trying to give him a hug.

Jet stops Soarin before he can go any farther. "Uhh, save the hugs for later," he said. "I mean, we know that he's your real dad, but this is not the time to hug him."

Soarin then frowns at Jet for interrupting his attempt to hug Chuck.

Firefly takes a moment to take a breath before giving out a private speech to the rangers. "Skyrangers, I have a question to ask you guys," she began. "As you may know, being a ranger means protecting your home from the dangers that try to destroy or take over your home. There will be many dangers facing against you along the way, sometimes putting yourself in high stakes situations. You life may be on the line in these missions. So are you guys willing to commit yourself to this very goal of saving the world?"

Spitfire looks at her friends and allies. Although they are told that their life is one the line-after all, several rangers have died on duty-they decided that death was rare enough for pursuing this goal was worth protecting their home. Everyone nods in agreement, so Spitfire decides that she should do the same. "We accept this job, ma'am," she said.

Firefly smiles upon hearing that this new team of rangers is willing to become full time rangers. She then gazes at Chuck. "Oh, and Chuck?" she asks.

Chuck realizes that he has something to do. "Oh! Right!" he said. He reaches for a briefcase and places it on Firefly's desk. Then, he opens it up, revealing six identical looking, but different sized, uniforms. They are blue, yellow, and white. The suits are primarily blue, though there is a yellow bird symbol at the front along with white accents going down the arms and legs.

"These will be your uniforms," Firefly announces.

The team then picks the uniforms up.

"Whoa! Cool!" Fleetfoot said in awe as she looks at her new uniform for the team.

"They accounted for my size?" Storm gaps in surprise upon seeing that one of the uniforms is sized for him.

Jet takes a moment to look at the uniforms and draws some similarities to military uniforms. "So, isn't this some sort of militant group with the goal of fighting robots?"

"Yes," Spitfire nodded. She then looks at her uniform, admiring the color-coded collar and cuffs. "And I think I'm starting to love this job."

[End of Episode]

From the Author:

Jetman was a sentai season that was almost adapted into a Power Rangers season as the first one, before the sixth ranger concept of Zyuranger switch plans up. Weirdly, Jetman was a tribute to a older series known as Gatchaman, meaning that this series is a spiritual successor to a spiritual successor.

Why would I make this series? Well, I have this idea of the rangers fighting against Megatron and his robot pals. Sure, while it seems cool to see the Gemrangers/Sonic Rainbooms to right against these things, I find that these guys already had it bad enough. They are fighting against three antagonists at the time this series has started, which will turn into four later in the year. Making them fight against five might be a bit too much, especially since they are already dealing with Eggman, who is a robot themed antagonist and thus would stack on that theme.

Since the antagonist will be based around the sky (because most main Decepticons transform into planes), a sky themed ranger team might be fitting. But, who would take this role? Why, none other than the Wonderbolts and the Babylon Rouges. Though, can you really call Jet a rouge at this point? He's a bit more heroic this time, along with Wave and Storm. Anyway, these six characters are perfect for the role because, well, they're sky themed! Also, I wanted something that focus on these guys. They don't get enough attention in the main series (especially Fleetfoot, Wave, and Storm).
