Megaforce Meets Samurai
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS SO THAT THE STORY MAKES ACTUAL SENSE:
Hey! So basically, in the Japanese version of power rangers, there is a movie called Goseiger (Megaforce) VS Shinkenger (Samurai) where the two teams meet and fight together due to sudden unexplained Nighlok activity. The true villain is discovered, and a terrifying plot unfolds.
I desperately hope that they do this episode in power rangers because it's so FREAKING AWESOME! So what I am doing here is giving you an early version since I don't want to wait for the actual movie to come out, and they'll probably do it better anyway.
Thus, I will mostly follow the exact plot of the Japanese movie, but change it slightly to make sense with the American version. Also, this is more futuristic than the current Megaforce series at my time of writing this, and any characters that don't exist yet will be described and have their Japanese names. Enjoy:
Part 1 of 3
The red Megaforce ranger jumped though a wave and fired his blaster at the Loogies rushing towards him. A few fell to the ground in defeat, but the rest continued their attack, and Troy rushed to meet them. He drew his Dragon Sword and sliced the bright green monsters before delivering a kick.
Hitting two more, he turned and braced himself as the pink ranger vaulted off of his soldier into battle, using her Phoenix Shot to take down most of the Loogies. The black and yellow rangers erupted from the sand in a surprise attack and used their Snake Axe and Tiger Claw to attack as well. The two rangers knocked Loogies into the ocean where a flash of blue came and destroyed them in seconds.
The blue ranger flew out of the water and aimed his Shark Bowgun at the enemies below, taking out a group of them. The five rangers joined together and put their weapons together for the Megaforce Blaster to finish off the Loogies.
Suddenly, though the Megaforce rangers couldn't see it, a crack to the Sanzu River opened nearby and a familiar figure peered out. The white octopus like monster watched the newer rangers.
"The Sanzu River is finally rising." Octoroo muttered to himself. The deceased Xandred's right hand Nighlok was sitting on the river side as he watched the Megaforce rangers with interest.
"But there are a bunch of other rangers messing around." He turned to the river slightly. "But this is indeed strange." He looked out at the river. "How is it rising without Xandred's influence?" Flashes of red appeared at his sides, catching the Nighlok by surprise. Moogers were appearing! And a shadowy figure seemingly identical to Master Xandred erupted out of the water. Octoroo turned to him, stunned.
"It can't be!" He whispered. "You…" The figure let out a growl and opened six blue eyes.

Back at Ernie's, the Megaforce rangers were getting drinks together, as Troy started to leave.
"Troy, where are you going?" Emma asked. Megaforce red turned back to her and gave a small smile.
"Just to the convenience store." He responded. He started to leave and jerked back in surprise as Gia got in front of him.
"Oh good timing!" She exclaimed. "Be sure to buy this month's magazine!" She walked by and Troy looked after her, still surprised.
"Oh!" Emma said. "Could you buy me a water or two as well?" Jake walked by.
"Can you buy me a sports drink?" He asked. Troy sighed and nodded. He risked a look at Noah in case he wanted anything, but the blue ranger was absorbed in his smoothie. Troy felt a flash of relief before he dashed out the door.

Out in the city, Troy was walking back towards Ernie's with a large shopping bag. Suddenly, he stopped as the hairs rose on the back of his neck. To his right, glowing red cracks opened up and monsters he'd never seen before jumped out of them. They almost resembled fish with their eyeless red faces and yellow clothes. They also held spiked swords.
"What are those?" Troy asked in confusion. "They're definitely not Loogies." The monster began to chase after civilians as Troy set his bag down. "And they're not like Creepox either!"
The red ranger began to run towards the scene, pulling one of the creatures off of a civilian while shouting, "Stop!" And punching the monster away from a couple. He grabbed one that was swinging its sword at him and stole the weapon, using on its own wielder and others. One of them caught Troy by surprise and knocked him down, sword clattering out of his hand. Deciding he'd had enough, Troy rolled onto his knee, revealing his Gosei morpher. He transformed into Megaforce Red and attacked with his Dragon Sword.
He quickly destroyed the small group of them following him and they exploded. As soon as they were gone, many more came out of some nearby cracks.
"Who are these guys?" Troy asked out loud. As the monsters surrounded him, a small alarm with a familiar symbol on it was going off. All the way in Paranorma City, a certain samurai's eyes flashed to the sound of the alarm going off.
Troy continued to fend off his attackers, when suddenly another creature landed nearby. It was almost humanoid, but with enormous shoulders. One shoulder was shaped like a lion while the other resembled crimson bramble bushes. A small red face was crammed in between them, his mouth below. One arm was a claw, the other a gun shape.
"So this is a Megaforce Ranger?" It growled. Troy turned to the monster.
"Just who are you?" He asked. The monster aimed its gun like hand at Troy.
"Talk is futile!" It roared while its hand spewed flames at the ranger who rolled to his right three times to dodge, before jumping up and deflecting another fire blast with his sword. He then jumped into the air, launching himself at the creature.
He swung the Dragon Sword, but the claw hand blocked, while the gun hand smashed him in the chest, sending Troy back a few steps. The monster ended his onslaught with another claw slash, sending Troy rolling backwards. The ranger pulled out his Gosei morpher and placed in a card to help him. He inserted the card sending a powerful blast at the monster who stepped forwards, undaunted.
"So this is a Gosei attack?" He scoffed, sucking the attack into his crimson shoulder. Troy gasped in disbelief. "Back at you multiplied!" The monster shouted, firing at the ranger with his lion shoulder. The attack hit Troy straight on, sending him into the air and slamming him into a nearby building. He let out a shout of pain and fell to the ground.
In front of him, the monster laughed sadistically as more of the fish like monsters joined him.
"No way!" He shouted. "My attack…" The monster readied himself for another attack, but stopped in shock as someone shouted,
"Hey Nighlok!" The monster and his buddies looked to the source of the noise, as well as Troy. A man was approaching in what looked like a black and red uniform with a strange symbol on his chest.
"That family crest…" The monster muttered in shock. Troy got onto his feet.
"What the…" He whispered. The man suddenly pulled something out from behind him and shouted a short sentence before tracing a Japanese symbol in the air before…turning into a power ranger!
"A Samurai Ranger?!" The monster exclaimed.
"Whoa!" Troy gasped as the mysterious red ranger pulled out a sword with a black disc on it.
"Red Samurai Ranger!" The man called out.
"Red Samurai Ranger?" Troy wondered. Troy remembered seeing the samurai rangers in the command center with Gosei, but to actually meet one of them…
Without hesitation, the samurai ranger let out a battle cry and ran towards the monster, sword ready.
"Get him!" The monster shouted. His underlings let out a cry of their own and charged at the samurai ranger. Unfortunately for the monsters, this was a very skilled swordsman. He quickly cut down the monsters as unknown to him and the others, the shadowy figure resembling the Lord of the Nighlok watched from a nearby rooftop.
Wasting no time, the samurai ranger leapt at the largest monster, slicing downwards. They had a quick dual where the monster couldn't manage to hit the samurai at all, but the ranger was tearing him apart. The samurai threw a red disc upwards and parried a blow while having the disc attach to his sword.
The ranger spun the disc, shouting, "Spin sword! Blazing Strike!" And rushing the monster, destroying his defenses with a literally flaming sword with explosive strikes. The monster fell backwards into a pillar.
"That's amazing." Troy said in awe. The monster got up, but suddenly turned an ugly gray color.
"I ran out of water pretty quickly." He snarled, backing up. "We'll finish this battle later." He then escaped into a red crack. The red samurai ranger started to chase after him, but stopped when there was nothing else he could do.
The red ranger gave a slight swing with his sword before a flash of red consumed him, leaving a man behind again. The man stared after the crack with obvious confusion.
"So not just Moogers are appearing…" He muttered. His eyes flashed with worry, before Troy ran up behind him. "It can't be that Xandred…" He trailed off. Troy ran up to him.
"You're the Red Samurai Ranger, right?" He asked. The man nodded. "I'm the Red Megaforce Ranger." He demorphed, and smiled in respect at the ranger. "Thanks for the save." Troy finished.
"No problem." The man said. "Protecting the world from Nighlok is my job after all."
"So those were Nighlok?" Troy asked. "I thought you guys defeated them though."
"That should be the case," the man answered, "but…it appears something is going on." He started to walk away.
"Wait!" Troy exclaimed. "Where are your teammates?"
"They are all in different locations." He responded. "I'm going to call them now." Troy grabbed him by the shoulder.
"Then…Let us help too." The man cocked his head at him. "Yeah," Troy continued, "If protecting the world from Nighlok is your job…then for the Megaforce rangers, protecting the world is our job." The man looked at him, and Troy let a small smile show. The man did as well.
"I'm Jayden Shiba." The samurai said.
"I'm Troy Burrows." Troy replied, holding out his hand. "Pleased to meet you." Jayden reached out and they shook hands.
MEGAFORCE SAMURAI MEGAFORCE SAMURAI MEGAFORCE SAMURAI MEGAFORCE SAMURAI
As the four other Megaforce rangers entered the command center, they immediately exchanged horrified glances as they heard an unrecognizable voice from inside.
"So you're Gosei?" The voice said. "I never knew Zordon had an apprentice. It's an honor to meet you." The Megaforce rangers went into the room to see two men with their backs turned to them. One was Troy! They were really confused now.
"And you as well, samurai ranger." Gosei responded. The four eavesdroppers gasped. A samurai ranger was here? They covered their mouths as Troy and the samurai turned to them. Troy and the samurai laughed at their expressions. Troy stepped towards them.
"This," he said, looking at the samurai, "is Samurai Ranger Red, Jayden Shiba." The four ran up to him.
"Wow!" Emma gasped.
"An actual samurai!" Jake said in excitement, "this is too cool." Jayden blushed and looked down. Just then, a middle aged man the rangers didn't recognize ran in to meet them.
"Jayden!" He said. "I'm glad I found you. Thanks for calling." He observed the Command Center in interest. "Impressive." He nodded in respect. "I've called the others. They should be here anytime." Jayden nodded, his eyes shining with anticipation. "Lauren might be a while longer though." He sighed. "She's a lot farther than the others." Jayden looked at the confused Megaforce team.
"This is my mentor, Ji." He explained. They nodded in understanding.
"So Master Xandred must have revived…" Ji said solemnly. "At least that is the fear."
"Yes." Jayden replied sofly.
"Master Xandred?" Noah asked, confused.
"The Lord of all Nighlok." Ji clarified.
"Didn't you guys destroy him?" Gia asked.
"That's what we thought." Jayden sighed.
They were interrupted when an African American male walked in, and his eyes lit up when he saw Jayden and Ji. He jogged up to them. He and Jayden shook hands.
"It's fantastic to see you again, Jayden." The guy smiled. Jayden smiled back.
"You too Kevin." He noticed Kevin giving the Megaforce rangers a suspicious glance. "Kevin, these are the Megaforce rangers. They protect this city. This is Kevin, the blue samurai ranger." Troy suddenly blushed.
"I just remembered. We haven't introduced ourselves yet." The Megaforce team all had panicked looks for a moment.
They looked at Kevin, Ji, and Jayden. Troy went first.
"I'm Troy Burrows, Megaforce Red."
"Noah Carver, Megaforce Blue."
"Emma Goodall, Megaforce Pink."
"Jake Holling, Megaforce Black."
"Gia Moran, Megaforce Pink."
Kevin laughed softly. "It's an honor to meet you," he started to explain at their almost hurt looks from his amusement, "It's just there's no green. Mike's going to be upset." The new rangers felt immediate relief.
Kevin was talking to the rangers when Gosei suddenly interrupted. "The Nighlok are attacking again. The stadium." The seven rangers nodded and ran off, into battle.
MEGAFORCE SAMURAI MEGAFORCE SAMURAI MEGAFORCE SAMURAI MEGAFORCE SAMURAI
Jayden and Kevin arrived first, already morphed. Attacking were Moogers and the large shouldered Nighlok from earlier. The Nighlok was chasing humans in joy, when three shots from Kevin's Hydro Bow hit him straight on, directing his attention to the two samurai.
"That's far enough, Nighlok!" Jayden shouted. The Nighlok pointed his claw hand at the two.
"There you are!" He shouted. "Get them!" He shouted, and this time a crowd of Loogies rushed the rangers.
"What are they?" Kevin asked in surprise.
"Doesn't matter." Jayden replied, voice hard with determination. "Let's go." He rushed towards the Loogies, sword flashing.
"Yeah!" Kevin chased after him. Behind them, the Megaforce rangers arrived, already morphed. They observed the scene for a moment.
"Why are Loogies here?" Gia asked.
"What's going on?" Emma exclaimed.
"For now, let's just fight." Jake replied.
"Yeah!" Troy agreed as Noah said, "Right!" The Megaforce started to run to the samurai's aid, but the broadly shouldered Nighlok jumped in their way.
"I'm your opponent!" He roared. He fired a blast at the rangers, who dodged. The yellow and black rangers pulled out their morphers and created an attack to use.
Kevin looked over at them, surprised. "What's that?" He asked. "Some kind of Symbol Power?"
"No." Jayden answered. "It's abilities granted by Gosei." The blue and pink Megaforce rangers also powered up an attack. The four fired as one.
"Is that it?" The Nighlok scoffed. He absorbed the attack like he did to Troy, making the four drop their defenses is shock.
"Back at you multiplied!" The Nighlok shouted, firing his weapon, hitting the four straight on. They fell, dazed.
"Guys!" Troy shouted in concern. He made sure they were alright before turning to look at the monster again. "Looks like our moves don't work on him…"
"Symbol Power probably won't work on him either." Jayden said from the other side of the Nighlok, still fighting Loogies with Kevin.
"Then…" A new voice called out, as the green samurai ranger stepped into battle, slicing two Loogies, "We'll just have to use our specialty; brute force!" Jayden looked over at him.
"Mike!" He said in relief.
"I don't know who they are, but…" The green samurai stated, taking down a large group of the minions, "that takes care of them!" He sauntered forward. "Sorry to keep you waiting, Jayden, Kevin."
"Hey!" Kevin said, jumping to meet him. "You're late, Mike! Where's Emily?"
"She's on her way." He laughed. "She had to catch a later flight." The Nighlok turned to look at the samurai who had finished the last of the Loogies.
"Let's go." Jayden said. The blue and green samurai charged forward, only to be knocked down by lasers from behind.
"Mike! Kevin!" Jayden gasped. He and the Megaforce rangers turned to see their attacker. Jayden gasped. It couldn't be. Standing a few meters away, was what looked to be none other than Master Xandred himself.
"You're…" Jayden whispered. The 'Nighlok' was finally revealed to have the same body shape as Xandred, but he had an insect like armor covering his body as well as blue eyes instead of Xandred's red orange. The Megaforce rangers gasped, recognizing the monster.
"Xandred." Jayden finished.
"No!" Troy exclaimed. "That's…" The Xandred look alike stepped up.
"I am Chimatsuri no Buredoran." It said.
(AN: Okay. The Megaforce haven't fought him yet. Just so you know, to the Shinkengers, Xandred is Chimatsuri Doukoku, who they just call Doukoku. So this 'Buredoran' guy has to be related to Doukoku/Xandred somehow. The Megaforce would have already killed him once if we'd gotten there yet.)
"Chimatsuri?" Jayden gasped. (AN: If you could please, just go with them realizing he must be related to Xandred.)
"Buredoran!" Troy growled. "He's alive?" The rest of the team were in shock.
"Of course." Buredoran sneered, walking towards the closest ranger, who just happened to be Jayden. "Right now I am General of the Nighlok! I will be the one to carry on Xandred's will!" Buredoran drew his sword. "Red Samurai Ranger!" He snarled. "Prepare yourself!" Jayden drew his own sword.
Kevin and Mike were still struggling to get up. "Jayden!" Kevin gasped. Their leader didn't answer.
"Here I come!" Buredoran yelled. The two rushed at eachother, swords clashing. Jayden got a few hits on Buredoran, while a new swarm of Loogies prevented the other samurai from helping. Some grabbed Mike.
"Let go!" He screamed, starting to panic. Buredoran thrusted his sword at Jayden, who deflected it and jumped backwards, activating super samurai mode as he landed. The white cape formed around him, and he dashed straight at Buredoran, thrusting his sword through the monster's chest.
Buredoran gasped in agony, before hissing, "Just what you'd expect from the red samurai. But…" He held out a hand, and a large swarm of Zombats came from behind him. They began to swarm the red ranger, who held up his free hand in an effort to defend himself.
Behind him, Kevin and Mike watched, helpless. "Jayden!" Kevin shouted, shortly copied by Mike. Behind them, Troy shouted the red samurai's name too. The Megaforce rangers attempted to help, but were fended off by the large shouldered Nighlok.
"You will not pass!" He roared.
Jayden had stepped back from Buredoran, now desperately trying to get the Zombats away from him. They had already covered his lower body, and were finishing fast. Jayden let out a small scream as the mutant bats closed over his head. All anyone could see was a thick layer of Zombats.
Buredoran pulled Jayden's spin sword out of his chest, and sauntered over to the captured ranger where he was met by the large shouldered Nighlok.
"Good work, samurai." He mocked. "And Megaforce. I'll be taking the red samurai."
Kevin desperately tried to shake the Loogies off of him. "No!" He shouted, panicking. Finally loose, he ran towards his leader. "Jayden!" But by the time he got to the three, all that was left was an echo of malicious laughter. Mike finally broke free and ran to Kevin.
"Stop!" He hollered. Kevin fell to his knees in defeat.
"NO!" He shouted in horror. The Loogies left as well. The Megaforce looked on, somber.

"Jayden has been taken?" Ji gasped in terror. Kevin looked down in shame and defeat.
"The Nighlok took him with them." Mike answer bitterly. He sighed. "The only way to save him is to go to the Sanzu River."
"But…" Ji growled, not sure of what to do.
"No." Noah said, stepping up. The samurai group looked at him. "Buredoran is calling himself a Nighlok."
"Yeah." Troy continued. "Considering his schemes…it might be too soon to assume that Jayden has been taken to the Sanzu River."
"Then let me ask this." Kevin said, also bitter. "Just where did Buredoran take our leader?" The Megaforce all looked away, unsure.
"That…" Noah started.
Mike stepped up, misdirected rage in his eyes. "Well there's nothing to do if you guys don't know."
"You can't give up." Troy interjected. "As long as you don't give up, it'll surely work out."
(AN: I'm going to use the exact dialogue from the movie here, as I think Mike would probably actually say this, but that's just me)
"Hey." Mike looked Troy in the eyes. "Don't talk as if it's just going to be alright!"
"Stop it ,Mike." Ji glared at the green ranger for his rudeness. "This is no time to fight amongst friends."
"Friends?" Mike nearly spat. "Who said we were friends?" He turned to look at a quietly seething Kevin. "I don't care if they're rangers or not. I don't like the way they don't take things seriously. What's this stuff about it working out if we don't give up?"
"Hey!" Jake said, offended. "There's no reason to say it like that!"
"I'm saying I don't want to work with rangers I don't understand!" Mike shouted.
"Let's go." Kevin said, obviously agreeing with Mike in his despair. "We'll find our own way to save Jayden." The two stormed out. Ji started to follow them.
"I'm terribly sorry!" He exclaimed. "They're not usually like this…" He chased after his rangers.
"Why would they say those things?" Gia wondered.
"Yeah. I don't get it." Emma agreed.
"Imagine, rangers." Gosei began to speak. "If you lost someone you cared for, you wouldn't exactly think very clearly." The Megaforce nodded in understanding, and Gosei continued.
"You must work together with the samurai, or all is lost." He finished. Jake sighed.
"Well I guess we have to get them to like us again." He said.
"How about we find the other samurai before Kevin and Mike, and see how it turns out?" Noah suggested.
"Good idea." Troy nodded, and the five ran off.

At the airport, Mia had just gotten her luggage and was heading off to rent a car. As she walked outside, she thought about how much she missed the other rangers. She couldn't wait to see them again, even if it was to fight evil.
It was much to her surprise when a long limo pulled up next to her. She looked around, wondering who it could be for, when the window rolled down to show a younger teen wearing a black tuxedo and a black tie as well as black sunglasses…
"Are you Mia?" He asked. Mia's heart skipped a beat. A limo? For her?
"Yes…" She answered warily. "
"Get in." The teen said. "I'm here to take you to the other rangers." Mia's eyes widened. This guy had to be important to know about the rangers. "Emma will get your luggage." A dark haired girl wearing a pink dress came out of the backseat, and moved her luggage to the trunk. Mia got in the seat with Emma.
"So how do you guys know about the rangers?" Mia asked.
"Because we're rangers too." Tuxedo man answered. The two 'rangers' fell silent, as did Mia, enjoying her time in a limo.
At another airport, Emily received the same treatment except from a blue limo with a girl in a yellow dress to get her luggage.

Mike and Kevin stood next to a body of water at a port. Obviously brooding, they didn't notice Troy until he spoke.
"I finally found you two." He sighed.
"Oh, it's you." Mike responded. The two samurai continued to act cold to Troy.
"Please." Troy continued. "If we don't work together, Jayden won't be saved. And we can't let Buredoran—" He was cut off as a pitch black limo parked ten meters away and a certain pink samurai stepped out.
"Mia!" Kevin exclaimed.
"Mike! Kevin!" Mia gasped. She ran up to them smiling, but she could tell something was terribly wrong.
"Who are these people, really?" She asked her fellow samurai. Before blue or green could answer, a blue limo parked next to the black one out of nowhere and another figure jumped out as the four Megaforce rangers exited their vehicles and joined the group as well.
"Mike! Kevin! Mia!" Emily shouted in joy as she ran to her comrades. They had a short, but sweet reunion, but anyone could tell that something was seriously wrong.
Before the joy could continue, Troy looked up in alarm. "Dodge!" He shouted. The rangers complied and leapt to their sides as a river of fire barely missed the spot they had been standing.
"That fire…" Kevin gasped. "It can't be!" The nine rangers looked to where the fire had come from. Something, or someone was walking through it. The rangers all stood up and watched the flames warily.
Out of the fire walked Jayden.
Dangit. That's not even twenty minutes yet. I'm not even a third of the way through the movie yet! Aaagh! It's totally worth it though. This takes a while! SUSPENSE! I can't wait and I already know what's going to happen. Chapter 2 shall arrive soon. Don't worry.
