Power Rangers Super Megaforce
The Forbidden Ranger Keys
Part 1
"As I'm sure you all know, for over twenty years the Power Rangers have protected our planet from many different dangers. Ranging from witches on the moon, to demons sealed away long ago, and even to invading alien forces, each and every Ranger team has earned their right to call themselves Power Rangers."
As Noah listens to Mr. Burley talk about the Power Rangers he turns to look at Jake, the two smiling at each other. Noah and Jake are Power Rangers themselves, Noah being the Blue Ranger and Jake the Green Ranger, originally the Black Ranger. The two are excited for when Mr. Burley talks about their own team, and speaking of the rest of their team…
Noah looks to his right, where he sees Troy, Gia, and Emma sitting all in a row. These three are also Rangers, Troy being the team's leader, their Red Ranger. Emma is the pink Ranger, and is the most kind hearted of them all. Then there's Gia, the yellow Ranger. The best word to describe her is the tough girl of the group who knows how to play with the big boys.
While they do have two other members of the group, one of them is a robot named Robo Knight and is currently missing, and the other member is Orion, an alien whose planet was wiped out by the Armada's fleet, him being the only known survivor. However, he had found the Silver Super Megaforce Ranger key and morpher, and he made his way to Earth to make sure that the Armada doesn't destroy Earth like they did with his planet.
Right now, Orion is in the command center with Gosei and Tensou, Orion getting scanned and tested to make sure that he won't be too badly affected by the Earth's Atmosphere. "Now, the new team of Rangers, Megaforce, has some interesting powers to change into all other previous Ranger teams, and even a few that even I don't recognize, which means this is an excellent time for us to talk about the Rangers of the past."
Noah, always eager to learn more about the powers they are using, leans forward with excitement, eager to learn more about the Ranger key's abilities. "However, just like with all of history, for every good side of the Rangers, there is a dark side to them, something that many forget about." This definitely gets Noah's attention, as well as the other Ranger's attention.
"You see, some of the evil forces get this idea of making their own team of rangers, an EVIL Power Rangers team." Noah looks shocked, having never heard of any evil Power Rangers before. "While there have been many attempts, and while they have been strong, none of them ever succeeded in taking down the Rangers. However, we should be wary for while the Rangers are here to protect us, there just might be a new team of Rangers being made right now to combat this new team."
Noah looks over at Troy, who looks equally as worried about this news as the rest of the team. Evil Power Rangers… Noah wonders what they would do if they ever met an evil Ranger team that was just as strong, or maybe even stronger, than them. He hopes they will never have to deal with that.
Prince Vekar grips the arm rests of his chair in the command room of the leading ship of the Armada, looking out the viewport at the planet Earth. Earth, the darn planet that he has promised his father that he would conquer for him, however that is proving more difficult than he had originally planned. It's not because he's a bad leader, he's the best leader the universe has ever seen! It's because of those darn Power Rangers!
He stands up, Argus, Vekar's body guard, looks up in surprise at his master's sudden outburst. "Boss?"
"Not now, Argus! I'm busy being angry!" He demands as he walks down and up to Levira, a green alien in charge of science for the Armada. "Levira! What is my father paying you for? None of your inventions or plans are working!" He then turns around to point at Damaras, Vekar's second-in-command. "The same with you! How hard is it to destroy a bunch of EARTHLING TEENAGERS!?" He yells, and then stomps his foot multiple times. "Why can't you all do anything right?"
"My prince," Damarus says, walking up to him calmly like a parent would to a child that is giving a tantrum, which fits this situation very well. "I have a plan that I am certain will work, and defeat the Rangers once and for all!" He says, and steps out of the way as the door behind him opens up, and in comes a creature that hurts Vekar's eyes to look at. It has multiple tentacles going over his body, mostly white but there are multiple colored ones thrown in there as well. It comes in excitedly, its large slit blue eyeball looking around as its fingers with its long red claws are moving u and down. "Meet Terulga, I believe you will like his special ability."
Terulga nods excitedly as he runs up to Vekar, who takes a step back away from him. Dear lord, is he ever ugly! "Oh, my prince! I am so happy to be serving you! I promise that I will do what I must to defeat the Rangers, for I am not alone!" He snaps his fingers, and suddenly another alien comes in from behind him. Oh lord, this one is even uglier than Terulga! It's a giant fish head, its right arm and left leg orange and while it's left arm and right leg are green. It also has some weird limp tentacle out of his head, arms, and legs, which are also orange and green. "Meet my couin-in-law, Hefallia! He may look ugly, but trust me, he also has an ability that I am certain you will just LOVE!"
Vekar looks between the two, saying, "Uh, right. You two should go down to Earth, you know, as far away from me so I don't have to see your ugly faces, right away. Understand?" Hefallia runs up to Vekar, and gives him a huge hug.
"Oh, thank you, my prince! I promise you will not regret choosing us!" He says, only letting go because Vekar pushes him away.
"Yes, yes. Grovel at my feet, praise me, just get out of my sight when you're finished! You two make me feel like I'm about to puke!" Terulga and Hefallia bow to him, saying, "Yes, my prince" in unison, and then walk off the bridge. Vekar looks at Levira, saying, "Are we sure that this plan is going to work?"
Levira shrugs her shoulders. "I am uncertain, my prince. I do not know what their powers are, but if Damarus says they are strong, then I think we should trust him." She says as she looks back at Earth. "I just hope that this will finally work so we can get on with bigger and better things with our lives."
Orion gives Noah a greeting smile as he enters the Command Center, which is pretty much a cave with a stairwell leading down to it, a row on either side of the wall with the Ranger keys, five terminals, and at the far end is Gosei, the Ranger's mentor. As Noah passes by Orion, they give each other a high five. "Noah, it is always a pleasure to see you, but why are you here?" Gosei asks Noah as he steps in front of him.
"It's mostly just a question I have, about the history of Rangers." Noah says, putting his hands in his pocket.
"I see, was the information me and Tensou provided you all about the Ranger keys not good enough?" Gosei asks, Noah not sure if he was hurt by that possibility or not.
"No, it's good, but there is one thing that I don't see in there, and that is about Evil Power Rangers." Gosei is silent, the same with Tensou, whom was next to Gosei and is now not saying anything.
"I didn't think Power Rangers COULD be evil." Orion states, walking up next to Noah. "I thought the Morphing Grid was powered by good, but… could it also be powered by evil?"
"Correction," Tensou states. "The Morphing Grid is powered by the fight between good and evil, and due to all the fights between good and evil here on planet Earth with all the different Ranger teams fighting for the Earth, the Morphing Grid has never had so much power before, and can go on for thousands of years without a Ranger team."
Gosei then speaks up. "Tensou is correct, the Morphing Grid is powered by both good AND evil, not one or the other. So, an evil Ranger team was going to happen sooner or later with how many Ranger teams there have been, and how long they've been around. Why do you ask?"
Noah looks down at the ground, rolling his shoulders back. "Well, in class today, our teacher, Mr. Burley, talked about how there were evil Ranger teams. I just wanted to learn more about them, and I was just curious, but… are there any Ranger keys of these evil Rangers? And speaking of which, where did these keys come from?"
Gosei is quiet for a bit as Tensou looks between Noah and Orion, then back to Gosei. When Gosei speaks, Noah knows he's not telling the full truth. "Yes, the Spirit Rangers from Jungle Fury were once evil, the same as the green Ranger, Titanium Ranger, Lunar Wolf Ranger, the Thunder Rangers, and the White Dino Ranger."
Okay, so there were quite a few evil Rangers, but why does he get the feeling that he isn't telling him everything? "Is that all the evil Rangers?"
"No, Rita and Lord Zedd each tried to make their own evil Ranger team, but both times they had failed." He responded way too fast, what is he hiding? Orion is looking at the Ranger keys, more specifically the white Dino Ranger and the Titanium Ranger, both of which were next to each other.
Orion, without even thinking, reaches up to try and touch the Ranger keys, as if to see if he could sense the evil they once had within them. "Don't touch them!" Tensou shouts to Orion. Orion turns around, and absent mindedly reaches his arm out, touching some sort of hidden panel behind the keys. He then brings his hand back as his gaze returns to the keys while the wall splits apart, revealing a stair way that leads even further down into the mountain.
"What is this?" Noah asks as he quickly joins Orion's side, looking down the stair case.
"Noah, Orion! Don't go down there!" Gosei demands, desperation in his voice. Noah looks back at Gosei.
"Why? What's down there?"
"Something that should never be used under any circumstances, leave it at that and… ORION, COME BACK!" Orion, apparently wanting to see what should never, ever be used.
"I'll get him!" Noah says as he goes after Orion down the stair well, curious about what could be down there as well. The two ignore Tensou's and Gosei's shouts for them to stop, the two going further and further down into the darkness. Soon, they come upon an open room with lamps along the wall, illuminating the only thing in the whole room.
A single chest on a pedestal, covered with chains.
"What is this?" Orion asks as he walks up to the chest, and puts his hand on it.
"Well, it's obviously a chest of some kind, but what's inside it?" Noah asks as he adjusts his glasses. Orion then looks at Noah.
"That's kinda what I meant, Noah."
"Oh." Noah's cheeks turn a slight pink at how embarrassing this is. "Well, I have no idea, but I say we find out." Noah says as he pulls out his Super Mega Saber. "You ready?" Orion nods his head, and then takes a step back, not sure what will happen once Noah destroys the chains. Noah brings the sword behind him, and then, with a mighty swing, cuts the chains off with a single strike. Noah puts the sword into the ground, blade digging into the ground, as he and Orion step closer to the chest.
Noah slowly reaches up, and slowly opens it. At the first crack that is presented, five lights are present. Red, yellow, pink, blue, and black. Noah continues to open it slowly, ready to close it if whatever is inside is too dangerous. When they see what's inside, their eyes widen and a look of surprise comes on their faces.
Suddenly, the chest closes by itself, and the chains that Noah cut go back to the way they were before Noah cut them. "What?" Orion says, shocked. "What just happened?"
"Oh, thank goodness. That was close." The two Rangers turn around, and neither are too surprised to see Tensou there. Actually, Noah is a little surprised. How did he get down those stairs? "What were you two thinking? You two should've known not to open it, didn't you see the precautions we've taken just to keep this place a secret?"
Noah and Orion walk up to Tensou, and then they both get down on their knees, the two of them now face-to-face with Tensou. "Tensou, what were those? They looked like…"
"Ranger keys?" Tensou interrupts Orion, and then sighs, or makes the sound of sighing, as it looks down at the ground. "Me and Gosei will explain everything, but just know that, while those keys are powerful, they should NEVER be used. You understand?"
Before Noah or Orion could respond, their morpher's makes a loud beeping sound. Noah brings the morpher up to his lips, the huge morpher in the style of Gosei's face and bigger than their hands, and speaks into it. "Noah here, what is it?"
"Noah, its Troy! It's the Armada, they've sent X-Borgs to downtown, we need some help over here!" Noah and Orion look at each other, and then back at the morpher.
"Roger, we're on our way." Noah brings the morpher down as he and Orion then stand back up. "We'll talk about this later after we deal with these X-borgs." With that, the two run up the stairs, heading towards battle.
Troy had been taught martial arts since he was very young, meaning he's always known how to fight. What's more is that for a bit more than half a year now he's been fighting off alien forces and defending the Earth as a Ranger, so he is definitely one that you shouldn't get in a fight with. However, these X-borgs don't seem to realize that.
Troy, in his Megaforce form, has his Dragon sword out, slicing down the X-borgs as they keep charging at him, however it seems like, for every X-borg he defeats, five more takes its place. When he slices down another X-borg, he spots Emma, the Pink Ranger, and Gia, the Yellow Ranger. Emma has her Phoenix shot out, and Gia her Tiger Claw. They are in the middle of a circle of X-borgs surrounding them, Emma defeating any Ex-borgs that get too close while Emma is blasting them from a distance.
Troy is almost in a similar situation with the X-borgs, except Jake is nowhere to be seen. "Troy!" Never mind, found him. Troy turns around, stabbing his sword forward at an X-borg that tried to sneak up on him. When the X-borg falls to the ground, Troy see's Jake running through the horde of X-borgs surrounding Troy, Jake clearing a path with his Snake Axe. Soon, Jake reaches Troy, and the two go back to back. "Troy, where's Noah and Orion?" Jake swings his axe up diagonally, getting two X-borgs. "We need their help here, there's too many of these guys!"
Troy leans to the right, barely missing one of the X-borgs weapons from hitting his arm. Troy brings his Dragon Sword up, getting the X-borg right up the middle. "They're on their way, just hold them off a little longer!" While Troy is always the optimist, always believing that there is a way out, he is finding a hard time believing that they can hold out for much longer without Noah or Orion.
Noah and Orion, having to run to the others due to the teleporter being out, curse the X-borgs for having to attack from so far away from the Command Center. When Noah and Orion turns a corner into a street market, they stop when they see the last thing they expected. In the middle of the flea market is some weird fish creature with an orange arm and leg and a green arm and leg. Its mouth is open, and is sucking all the food into its large mouth.
"Whoa, now that is one big, and ugly, fish." Orion says, and Noah nods. "Right, but no time to talk about its looks. You fight it off, I'll call the others." Orion nods, and then pulls out his Silver Super Megaforce Ranger key, and his morpher. He puts the key into the morpher, and then yells, "Super Mega Mode!" He then presses the Silver Super Megaforce Ranger key, and then brings his free hand back as he launches his other arm with the morpher out. After a bright silver aura surrounds his body, Orion gets into a fighting stance, now morphed with his Super Silver Spear.
As Orion lunges at the fish monster, Noah brings the morpher up. "Troy, this is Noah! We've got ourselves some ugly looking fish monster in the flea market, can you make it?"
"Sorry Noah, we're barely holding our own against the X-borgs here. You and Orion have to deal with the freaky fish by yourselves for now." Well, Troy was right about the freaky part. Noah puts his Megaforce Morpher away, and then brings out his Super Megaforce key out and his morpher.
He then morphs, inserting the key into the morpher, while yelling, "SUPER MEGA MODE!" He then turns the key, and is surrounded by a blue light. When the light disappears, Noah is in his blue Super Mega mode, his Super Mega blaster and saber out. "Hold on Orion!" He yells, and then starts to charge towards the two to help Orion. However, before he could reach them, he feels someone, or something, hit him right in the face, knocking him flat on his back. Noah quickly sits up, and looks around to find whatever it was that hit him.
Noah doesn't see anything except for the giant fish trying to eat Orion's spear. What hit him? When Noah gets back up, her suddenly feels something, fists maybe, hit him repeatedly in the stomach multiple times before he receives an upper cut, and is sent sprawling backwards. Noah looks around again to try and find his attacker, but sees no one.
"What's going on?" Noah says, trying to find some sort of trace of his enemy. That's when he feels a powerful kick against his back, sending him flying forward, past Orion and the fish monster. When Noah hits the ground, he believes he has the answer. There's not one monster here, but two, and one of them is invisible.
Troy and Jake are now backed up against the wall, the two exhausted as they look at the X-borgs surrounding them. "I count about three dozen left, what about you?" Jake looks at them, and then shrugs his shoulders.
"You know me, I was never any good in math." He replies. Troy then see's that Gia and Emma are in the same situation as them, Troy cursing the X-borgs. "Alright, Rangers, it's time to go Super Mega!" Jake, Gia, and Emma nod in agreement, and then they all take out their ranger keys. "SUPER MEGA MODE!" They yell as they insert the keys into their morphers. They then twist the keys in, and they all morph, Troy into the Red Super Mega Ranger, Jake into the Green Super Mega Ranger, Gia into the Yellow Super Mega Ranger, and Emma into the pink Super Mega Ranger.
Gia and Emma immediately do a weapons swap, Emma giving Emma her sword, and Gia giving Emma her blaster. Emma is now equipped with two blasters, and Gia now equipped with two sabers. Gia then throws her swords, but then, using the string she has attached to the hilts, is now throwing the swords around, hitting large numbers of X-borgs as Gia is blasting them away.
Troy charges towards the X-borgs, screaming at the top of his lungs as he fires his blaster while Jake follows suite behind him. As they blast through the horde of X-borgs, Troy wonders what the X-borgs purpose is supposed to be here. When he, Jake, Emma, and Gia arrived here, they were just making a mess of the place, and that's it. Does that mean that… this was a distraction from their true goal?
Troy then remembers Noah calling them about some sort of fish monster… As Troy cuts down two X-borgs, he then yells out to the other Rangers, "Everyone, these X-borgs are here just to distract us! Let's take care of them quickly so we can go help Noah! That's where their true goal is!"
"You heard Troy, let's take care of them quickly!" Gia yells as she swings the sabers again, taking down seven of the X-borgs.
"What do you think we've been trying to do?" Jake yells as he fires his Super Mega Blaster, taking down multiple X-borgs at once. This is taking way too long, Troy only hopes that Noah and Orion can hold off the fish Monster long enough for them to get there.
Orion brings his spear up vertically, hitting the ugly Fish monster directly on. The Fish monster, with a loud scream, is sent backwards, and rolls on the ground from that attack. Orion chuckles as he places the bottom of the spear against the ground. "Wow, this is pretty easy."
Orion looks over at where Noah is, and is surprised when he see's Noah fly backwards into one of the shops. "Noah, stop messing around and get over here, not that I need your help or anything." Noah then stands up, holding his side.
"I'm not messing around, Orion. There's a monster here, he can turn himself…" Noah is suddenly thrown forwards by an unseen force, landing in one of the shops. Orion looks at the Fish monster as it gets up, laughing.
"Tough decision, isn't it, Ranger? What will you do? Finish your fight with me, or save your friend? My cousin-in-law knows how to fight better than me, so move right on before your friend is finished." Orion looks back at Noah as it looks like he receives a punch to the side of his head, sending him falling to the ground.
Orion then points at the fish monster. "I'll take care of you later, just you wait!" Orion then runs off towards Noah, his super silver spear raised above his head, ready for action.
The fish monster lets out a loud laugh. "Wait? Yeah, like that would happen!" He then turns around, and then jumps to the top of a nearby building, and starts to run away.
Terulga finds it way too easy to beat the Blue Ranger, just messing with him as he delivers blow after blow against him. So far, the Blue Ranger hasn't even tried a counter attack yet! Why is Vekar having so much trouble with them? Terulga then nearly jumps out of his… tentacles… as a silver spear strikes down right in front of him, barely missing him.
He jumps backwards, his one eye wide as he looks at the silver Ranger, whom is now looking around. "Man, I could've SWORN he would be right there!" Orion says, obviously now understanding that Terulga can turn invisible. Terulga wipes his forehead in relief, glad that Orion missed him. The one drawback to his powers is, as soon as he feels pain, he will turn visible again, and couldn't become invisible again for the next five minutes.
Terulga takes two steps back, and then jumps at Orion, kicking him in the back, forcing him down unto the ground. HA! This is the mighty Power Rangers? They're pathetic, and to think his cousin-in-law was having trouble with the Silver Ranger. "FOUND HIM!" Terulga then yells as he feels something sharp just barely scratch his back, causing him to scream in pain as he turns visible again. He turns around to see Noah there, his saber having been the one to hit him.
"D-Darn you, Blue Ranger!" Terulga says as he backs away from both of the Rangers. "YOU TWO ARE RUINING OUR PLANS, WHY WOULDN'T YOU JUST GO AND FIGHT THE X-BORGS LIKE THE OTHER RANGERS!" He then pulls out a small white sword from behind him. "I guess I'll just have to distract you long enough for the plan to continue."
"Plan? What are you planning?" Orion demands as he gets up, Noah standing next to him. "You should tell us, otherwise this will not end well for you."
Terulga laughs. "Please, do you really think that I, the great and powerful Terulga, would be defeated by just TWO rangers? Don't make me laugh!" He then holds the sword up in the air, and multiple sparks of lightning shoot out of the tip of the blade, arching through the air and hitting the two Rangers.
Noah and Orion quickly step back, covering their faces with their arms as the lightning hits where they were. When the lightning is done, they look back up… to see Terulga running away from them, his hands up in the air. "HEY! Get back here!" Noah yells as he and Orion then give chase, forgetting about the Fish Monster that is now free in the city.
"Gosei, the scanner's aren't picking up any sign of the fish monster OR the creature that Noah and Orion are chasing after." Tensou says as he is checking one of the terminals. "How is that possible?"
"It is quite clear that they are blocking our scanner's somehow, they must have somehow put it up over the city to hide their bio signatures, meaning we would never have suspected anything was wrong when our scanner's would have detected the X-borgs and everyone else."
"Hide their Bio Signature? But how?"
"The only way they could do so, and be for such a small range, must be because they must have small jammers somewhere on their body, which is a hard thing to come by. Alert the Rangers to spread out, and search for this 'Fish Monster' immediately."
"Right away, Gosei." Tensou says, and then opens up a secure channel. "Rangers, do you read me?"
Troy's voice then comes over the speakers in the terminal as an image of his helmet pops up. "What is it, Tensou?"
"Noah and Orion are chasing after a second monster that seems to be able to turn invisible, but they probably forgot about the first monster. Our scanners can't pick him up, so you all will have to split up as soon as possible to find him."
"Roger, Tensou. We just finished with the X-borgs here, we'll head out right away." Troy then closes the channel, and Tensou groans softly.
"What is it, Tensou?" Gosei asks, not sure what has Tensou so worried. The Rangers have faced tougher monsters before, this is nothing new to them.
"Gosei, it's just… Noah and Orion now know about the keys, I'm worried that they might try to use them if the situation becomes too dangerous."
"That is a problem for when we get there, right now we must focus on the current problem at hand. Keep scanning for any more trouble in the city, something tells me that we're in for a long, and dangerous, day.
Gia, now in her MegaForce mode to preserve power, is on the top of a bridge overarching one of the main roads. She is using the vantage point to hopefully get a better view of where the fish monster could be. No one knows where it could have gone, and Noah and Orion are still chasing the second monster.
To save on time, Troy, Jake, Gia, and Emma all split up, covering North, South, East, and West. Gia was given south, Jake west, Troy east, and Emma north. Emma sighs when she see's nothing out of the ordinary, definitely no fish monster. That's when she hears the sound of people screaming from BEHIND her. She turns around, and quickly goes to the other side of the bridge.
Spotting the panic was easy as she see's multiple people exiting a bakery, running in fear. Gia pulls her morpher up, and speaks into it. "Everyone, I think I found the fish monster! Follow my signal!" She then pulls out her Tiger claw, and jumps down from the bridge, landing halfway to the bakery. "EVERYONE, GET OUT OF THE AREA!" She says loudly, moving around the crowd of civilians until she gets to the bakery.
When she enters, she spots the fish monster sucking up the bread into its large, open mouth. Before Emma could do anything it finishes eating the last of the bread in the bakery. "MAN, was that ever delicious! A few more stops like this, and I'll be stronger than ever!" He turns around. "I can't believe how good Earth food is!"
"Oh man, you are ugly!" The Fish monster looks shocked that someone would dare say that to him.
"Who would DARE call me, Hefallia, ugly? Only the prince can call me that!" He says, and then spots Gia. "You! Were you the one that called me ugly just now?"
Gia nods her head as she brings the tiger claw up, her other hand on her hip. "Yeah, that was me. You really need to go get a makeover, or maybe a bath." Gia says, able to smell him even through her helmet.
"Why you… how dare you say that! I am a BEAUTIFUL creature!" He yells, and then belches loudly.
"Really? Well, whatever helps you sleep at night." She says, and then charges at Hefallia. She then tries to bring it up, trying to cut him with her Tiger claw. However, Hefallia brings his hand out, and stops the tiger claw with his bare hand. "What?" She is then thrown out of the bakery, one handed, by Hefallia.
"Okay, that was unexpected." She says, and then pulls out her morpher. "Noah, Orion! This is Emma, why didn't you tell me how strong this fish thing is?"
Orion's voice then comes over the morpher. "What are you talking about? The fish monster is easy, it never laid a hand on me!"
"That's not what I'm seeing." Gia says as she stands up while Hefallia exits the bakery, laughing at Gia.
"You Rangers sure are annoying, but don't worry!" He says as he grabs an apple from the ground, and throws it into his mouth. "My powers will destroy you AND this annoying town soon enough!" He proclaims, Gia believing to now understand what is happening.
"Wait, the more you eat, the stronger you get?" Gia says as she prepares herself to attack him again.
"That's correct, Yellow Ranger! The more I eat, the stronger I become, so, including the food I ate at the street market, all the food in a restaurant, a fast food place, and now this bakery, I am much stronger than you are! Not only that, but all this food has but only allowed me closer to my ultimate power!"
