Astro Force
Episode 1: A New Power
(Loosely based on Hikari Sentai Maskman)
Scene 1
(Five kids: Matt and Aurora Lee, Ryi Miller, Darren Price, and Haley Summers train in martial arts at their local youth center in a town called Winter Springs. Matt and Aurora practice karate, Darren is a junior taekwondo Olympian, Ryi is an amatuer cage-fighter, and Haley practices kung fu. After a while they decide to stop and get a smoothie from Sonny, the owner and Darren's Father, at the bar.)
Sonny: There you go, kids. Now, don't forget about the field trip to the planetarium on Friday.
Darren: Don't worry, Dad. We've already signed up.
Ryi: What's so great about going to a planetarium?
Aurora: Hey, I think it would be kinda cool to learn about the universe.
Matt: Only you, Sis. I had to sign up to watch her.
Darren: I was forced to go. It's kinda hard not to when your dad is leading the trip.
Haley: I just wanted to get out of the house for a change. (Laughs.)
Matt: Come on, Guys. We had better get going. It's getting kinda late.
Darren: Yeah, good idea. (shouting to Sonny) Hey, Dad, We're going to head out. I'll see you later.
Sonny: Okay, Son. Be careful
Scene 2
(On Friday, Sonny takes allof the kids that signed up for the trip to the planetarium. Matt and the others wait for him to come back with the tickets.)
Ryi: Man, this is boring. Why don't we just split and take our own tour?
Darren: Let's just wait for my dad. I'm sure he will be back any minute.
Matt: I'm with Ryi on this one. Let's blow this pop stand.
Aurora: I have a bad feeling about this.
Darren: You're not the only one.
Haley: You're not leaving me behind.
Scene 3
(The kids leave the group and roam around the plantarium without supervision. They come to a door with a really bright light shining from the inside. All of a sudden, the door swings open, and the kids go insideand look around.)
Matt: Man, whoever works here must really love their job. Look at all this stuff.
Ryi: No joke.
(After looking around for a while, Aurora finds a box with five glowing gems.)
Aurora: Hey Guys, check this out!
Matt: What are they?
Aurora: I don't know, but they're so... so pretty.
(Aurora elbows Matt in the chest.)
Matt: Ow! That hurt, you know!
Aurora: I know. That was the point.
(All of a sudden, they hear someone coming towards the room. They all run and hide.)
Darren: (Whispering to Matt) What do we do?
Matt: (Whispering) Just stay put for now. We'll leave as soon as we get a chance.
(Aurora is hiding underneath a desk and she hits her head on it.)
Aurora: Ouch!
(A lady looks under and sees her.)
Jenna: What are you doing in here? The door was locked.
Aurora: Guys, come on out. We're caught.
(The rest of the crew steps out, and the gems shine brighter when they do.)
Jenna: (Looking surprised) Um... they're nothing. (To herself) I think I found them. I have an idea.
Matt: Look, we're really sorry. We were just walking around and the door swung open. Now, if you don't mind, we need to get back to our group before they leave without us.
Jenna: Well, anyway, I'm Jenna. I guess you guys are alright. Nothing seems to be out of place, but since you guys are here, take a sovenier.
(She gives each of the kids a gem. They shine really bright then go out.)
Aurora: At least we got something out of it.
Matt: Thanks for the rocks, but we really need to get going.
(The kids leave and return to the bus with the rest of the group.)
Scene 4
(The next day, the kids are walking to the youth center while Ryi and Matt discuss the strange dreams they had the night before.)
Matt: We were all fighting these weird alien-monster things. It was kinda off the wall.
Ryi: I dreamt the same thing. Man, this is too strange.
(All of a sudden, a man and woman appear with an army of monsters.)
Darren: Oh, man! Why do I get the feeling that they aren't here to take in the scenery?
Matt: That's them! Those are the creeps we were fighting in my dream!
Evil Man: You possess the power of the Aura. You are my sworn enemy! Cosmodrones, attack!
Ryi: Any ideas?
Darren: No, but I don't think we will be able to talk our way out of this one.
Matt: Come on, Guys. Spread out!
(They start to fight the monsters and hold them off for a while, but start to get beaten.)
Matt: Look, whatever we did, we're sorry. Just let us go!
Evil Man: Never!
(Just then, a blinding light appears and fades. Inits place stands Jenna, the planetarium worker.)
Jenna: Leave them alone, Lacerta! The forces of light will prevail!
Lacerta: Jenieva! Oh, how long its been! This will make my victory that much more satisfying. (Laughs)
Jenna: (To the kids) Come on, take my hands!
(They take her hand and with a blinding light end up in the planetarium.)
Scene 5
Matt: What in the world just happened?
Jenna: You just faced your new enemies, Queen Cassieo and King Lacerta.
Ryi: What do you mean, "our new enemies"?
Aurora: And how did we wind up here?
Jenna: Look, I am from another demension. My real name is Jenieva. Cassieo and Lacerta are my sworn enemies. I am a mage who uses to light energy of the universe, also known as Aura, to combat them. They use Black Magic, which is the exact opposite. The gems I gave you were Aura gems. They chose you as the warriors I need to help me fight them.
Ryi: And if we don't?
Jenna: Then, you risk your world being destroyed.
Darren: Yeah, no pressure or anything.
Ryi: Well, sorry to dissappoint, but my training is to make me a welterweight champion, not fight evil monsters or aliens or whatever they were.
(Ryi leaves the planetarium and the others stand there waiting.)
Jenna: Anyone else?
Aurora: I'm in. These guys don't look like they mess around,
so we need to stop them.
Matt: I guess I'm in, too. Wherever my sister goes, I go.
Darren: Count me in. I love a good sense of adventure.
Haley: Someone's got to look after these guys.
Jenna: Okay, this mission will change your lives forever. You will learn how to use the power of Aura and channel its elemental power.
(Suddenly, an alarm blares. On a computer screen, they see an insect based monster and a squad of Cosmodrones.)
Jenna: Looks like you have your first battle right in front of you. Are you ready?
Matt: Wait, we got our butts kicked last time. How is this time going to be any different?
Jenna: When I gave you those gems, the Aura that was stored in them was transferred into your DNA, so you now possess the power of the Aura. However in case that's not enough, you will have these.
(She opens a briefcase to reveal five wrist gauntlets with a symbol on them.)
Jenna: I've combined my power of Aura with Earth's technology to create these. They are your Astro Morphers. They will transform you into the greatest superhuman fighting force known to man: the Power Rangers.
(Each of the kids take a morpher and put it on. They leave one in the case for Ryi.)
Jenna: Matt, you will lead the team as the Red Ranger. Darren, you will take your lead from him as the Blue Ranger. Aurora and Haley, you will do the same as the Yellow and Pink Rangers. Together, you are the Power Rangers Astro Force. All you have to do to activate your Ranger Powers is use the activation call of "Astro Force Activate". Go, Rangers, and show them what you can do.
Matt: Right. Let's go, Guys.
Scene 6
(When the Rangers reach the monsters, they stand there waiting for the monsters to make a move.)
Monster: What? Are you ready to take another beating?
Matt: Not this time. (To the others) You guys ready?
Others: Ready!
All: Astro Force Activate!
(With the shout of the morphing call, the Rangers are transformed.)
Matt: Man, this power is incredible!
Darren: I feel so strong!
Haley: Come on, Guys, we have a job to do.
Aurora: Yeah, stay focused
Matt: Right. Let's get 'em, Guys!
(The Rangers fight the monsters. They do good for a while, but they start to get beaten.)
Matt: Man, we could really use Ryi right about now.
Darren: No joke.
(Just across the street, Ryi see the Rangers having a hard time battling the monsters. He decided to help.)
Monster: How ironic. The Power Rangers' first battle will also be their last. This is your end, Power Pests.
Ryi: (Jumping into action) Not yet, it's not!
Matt: (shocked) Ryi!
Aurora: You came back!
Ryi: (To the Rangers) Just thought I would join the fun. (To the monster) If your messing with my friends, then you're messing with me!
Matt: Ryi, wait! He's too strong! You can't take him alone!
Ryi: We'll see about that.
(Just then, Ryi pulls his Aura Gem out of his pocket. With a blinding light, the Aura in his DNA morphs him into the Astro Force Black Ranger.)
Matt: Wow! The Black Ranger!
Monster: So, what? Is one more Ranger supposed to male a difference?
Ryi: Just wait. I'll show you what this Ranger can do!
Monster: Bring it on, Ranger!
Ryi: Don't say I didn't warn you.
(With a fierce battle cry, Ryi battles the monster. The other Rangers are watching in amazement.)
Matt: Wow! He is incredible!
Darren: Yeah, that monster is in for it now.
Aurora: Man, look at him go!
(To finish off the monster, Ryi channels his Aura and blasts him with an energy beam, defeating the monster.)
Ryi: And that's how it's done, Black Ranger style. (chuckles)
(The other Rangers come up and congradulate Ryi. They are ecstatic.)
Matt: Ryi, why did you come back?
Ryi: I just figured that saving the world was more important than my welterweight title. Also, you guys are my friends. I couldn't let you guys do this on your own.
Mat: Well, I'm glad you're with us, now.
Ryi: Til the very end.
Scene 7
(The Rangers go back to the planetarium with their helmats under their arms. Jenna congradulates them on thier first victory.)
Jenna: Good job, Rangers, but this was just one battle. There will be more difficult challenges in the future. You are the world's last hope. Good luck, Power Rangers!
