Chapter 1: Dawn of the Samurai
Fall 2017(Last Year)
It was a cold rainy night at Angel Grove High School. The football team had just won another game and continued their winning streak. Sadly that winning streak came to an end that night.
A boy came walking out of the field house carrying a backpack on his shoulder. As he walked up the stairs he looked over at the muddy football field and smiled.
"We're one win away from going to the playoffs," The boy said to himself as he smiled and walked towards the parking lot.
The stadium lights went out as the boy walked away from the field. The boy then came to a stop in the middle of the parking lot and began looking around in confusion.
"Where did mom and dad park?" The boy asked himself as he turned around.
A car's engine was then heard starting up in the distance.
"I guess I need to call them," The boy said to himself as he pulled out his phone.
A car then came speeding down the road and quickly turned into the parking lot. The boy then looked over and was blinded by the headlights. The car then hit the boy and sent him rolling into the windshield. The boy then fell off the car as the car drove off into the distance. He continued to lie on the ground motionless with blood running down his face and holding his right arm.
"Tyler!" A boy shouted as he ran out into the parking lot.
"Is he okay?" Another boy asked as he ran up.
"Kyle, call an ambulance," The boy said to him.
A few weeks have passed since the accident. Tyler and his father then drove up to the school in his father's car. Tyler then looked out the window and saw students sitting around the front door.
"Dad, what if they blame me for the football team not making it to the playoffs?" Tyler asked his father.
"It wasn't your fault and you know that," His father said to him. "If anyone tries to blame you, just ignore them,"
"Alright," Tyler said as he opened the car door.
Tyler then stepped out of the car and began walking away.
"Wait, your sister left this at home this morning before she left for school!" Tyler's father shouted to him.
Tyler then walked back to the car and grabbed the folded piece of paper.
"You know, she could've waited a little longer to ride with us and she wouldn't have forgot this," Tyler said to his father.
"Have fun!" Tyler's father shouted to him as Tyler walked away.
His father then drove away as the bell rang. Tyler then looked down at the cast on his right arm and sighed.
"I can't wait to see all the depressed looks on everyone's faces," Tyler said to himself as he turned the corner.
Tyler then looked around and saw students filling the hallway. Everyone then began looking over towards Tyler as the hallway went silent. Tyler then slowly began walking down the hallway past students as they went on with what they were doing before. Tyler then walked up to his locker and began turning the knob.
"Our QB is back!" A boy shouted as he walked up behind Tyler and hugged him.
"Geez, watch the arm Kyle," Tyler said to his friend.
Kyle then let go of Tyler and looked over at his cast.
"So how long are you in that thing for?" Kyle asked Tyler.
"A couple of months," Tyler told Kyle as he opened his locker.
"Did they ever find who ran you down?" Kyle asked Tyler as a girl walked up.
"No and I'm sure my brother doesn't want to be reminded of what happened," The girl said to Kyle as she pushed him away.
"Dad said that you forgot this Lyra," Tyler said to his sister as he handed her the paper.
"Oh thank God, I was going to freak out if I had forgotten this," Lyra said to Tyler.
"What is that anyway?" Kyle asked Lyra.
"It's just a list of stuff for the student council meeting later," Lyra said to Kyle.
"Kyle come on, let's go find Eddie," Tyler said to Kyle as he closed his locker.
Tyler and Kyle then walked away from Lyra and walked into a classroom. Eddie then looked up and saw Tyler and Kyle walk into the room.
"It's good to see you back here," Eddie said to Tyler as he rose from his desk.
"I thought it was going to be worse than this," Tyler said as he sat down.
"Yeah it was weird when the whole hallway went silent when you walked in," Kyle said in confusion.
"They were just surprised to see him," Eddie told Kyle as other students began walking in.
Eddie then quickly sat back down as the desks began filling up.
"Don't worry man, you haven't missed out on anything in here," Kyle said to Tyler as the teacher walked in.
"Get your pencils ready, we have a pop quiz today," The teacher said to the students.
Tyler then leaned up to Kyle's desk.
"I think you might be excited for this then," Tyler said to Kyle as he snickered.
Kyle then rolled his eyes and sighed.
After School, Tyler was walking down the street in the city by himself.
"It's been a while since I was at the Youth Center," Tyler said to himself as he walked down the street.
A truck then pulled up next to Tyler on the side of the road. The window then came down and a teenaged boy in a lettermen jacket stuck his head out the window.
"Hey look guys, it's the injured tiger cub that gave us the chance for state," The boy said as he and his friends laughed.
"Very funny," Tyler said as he turned away and continued walking.
A cup then came flying out the window and hit Tyler in the back of the head.
"Stone Canyon rules!" The boys form the truck shouted as they drove off honking the horn.
Tyler then groaned and slung his backpack to the ground in anger. A man carrying out bags of garbage then looked over and saw Tyler angered with tears running down his face. The man then tossed the bags into the dumpster and began walking towards Tyler.
"What's the matter?" The man asked Tyler.
"Oh, nothing Mr. Yoshimoto," Tyler said a she wiped the tears from his face.
"Don't listen to those brats from Stone Canyon, they always come driving through here talking nonsense," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler.
Mr. Yoshimoto then looked over at Tyler's cast.
"They say that the ones that become injured always come back stronger," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler.
"That's not going to happen for me," Tyler said as he picked up his backpack.
"I can see that, but only if you keep acting the way you are," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler.
"Then how can I change that?" Tyler asked Mr. Yoshimoto.
"Your father taught you and your sister martial arts, yes?" Mr. Yoshimoto asked Tyler.
"Yeah, but it's been like three years since we did anything," Tyler told Mr. Yoshimoto.
"Hmm, that could be a problem," Mr. Yoshimoto said as he began thinking to himself.
"Why're you asking me these questions anyway?" Tyler asked Mr. Yoshimoto.
"Come by the Youth Center tomorrow morning at four before school," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler. "And do not tell anyone,"
"Four in the morning!" Tyler said in astonishment.
Tyler then sighed and walked up to the entrance of the Youth Center and walked inside. Eddie and Kyle then looked over at Tyler as he walked in.
"What were you and Mr. Yoshimoto talking about out there?" Eddie asked Tyler.
"He was just checking on me after those Stone Canyon football players drove away," Tyler said to Eddie as he sat down at the table.
"Ever since you got hurt those morons have been driving through Angel Grove talking crap," Kyle said to Tyler as he sat his empty glass down.
"It's best just to ignore them," Tyler said to Kyle as he placed his backpack on the table.
"Yeah we need to forget about football since we're done with that until summer practice," Eddie said to Kyle and Tyler.
"So, how's Lyra been doing as the Student Body President?" Tyler asked his friends.
"Ugh, she's been so bossy and won't take hardly any requests from students," Kyle said in annoyance.
"You requested to add a vending machine to each hallway," Eddie said to Kyle.
"What's wrong with that?" Kyle said as he shrugged his shoulders.
"You have to think about the money the school has before requesting stuff like that," Tyler said to Kyle as he pulled a book out of his backpack.
Kyle then looked over at the textbook Tyler had in his hands.
"Are you doing your homework here?" Kyle asked Tyler.
Tyler then looked over at Kyle.
"Yeah and I don't see anyone saying I can't," Tyler said to Kyle as he opened the book.
Eddie then looked down at Tyler's notebook and saw him struggling to write with his left hand.
"You've got to get used to writing with your left hand," Eddie said to Tyler. "That stuff looks awful,"
"I think I might move somewhere else to do my homework," Tyler said to his friends as he put his books back into his bag.
Tyler then rose from his seat and walked away.
"Nice," Kyle said to Eddie.
"Now you're making me feel like moving," Eddie said to Kyle as he picked up his glass.
A few hours later, Tyler was asleep at his table with his head down on his notebook. Mr. Yoshimoto then walked over to the table and placed his hand on Tyler's shoulder. Mr. Yoshimoto then began shaking Tyler by the shoulder.
"Hey, you passed out," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler.
Tyler then woke up and looked around in confusion.
"What time is it?" Tyler asked Mr. Yoshimoto.
"Almost ten," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler as he walked away. "Now get home before your parents get worried,"
Tyler then gathered up all his books and quickly put them in his backpack.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to pass out," Tyler said to Mr. Yoshimoto.
"It's fine, there's been worse," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler as he began washing dishes in the sink.
"I'll see you later," Tyler said as he walked out the door.
As Tyler opened the door a slow breeze of wind blew into the Youth Center. Mr. Yoshimoto then quickly turned around in astonishment.
"This can't be," He said to himself in horror.
Mr. Yoshimoto then quickly ran around the bar and ran outside.
"Tyler!" Mr. Yoshimoto shouted as he looked down the street for Tyler.
Tyler walked into a dark part of the city by himself on his way home.
"I can't believe I did that," Tyler said to himself in embarrassment.
Tyler then looked over and saw a red liquid coming out of an alley.
"What is that?" Tyler said in confusion as he walked closer to the liquid. "Is it blood?"
"Do not touch that!" Mr. Yoshimoto shouted to Tyler.
Tyler then quickly turned around and saw Mr. Yoshimoto standing behind him.
"What is that stuff?" Tyler asked Mr. Yoshimoto.
"Get back to the Youth Center," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler as he grabbed him by the arm.
"What's going on?" Tyler asked Mr. Yoshimoto as they walked away.
Tyler and Mr. Yoshimoto quickly walked inside the Youth Center and Mr. Yoshimoto locked the door behind him.
"That water is a sign," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler.
"Last I checked, water isn't red," Tyler said to Mr. Yoshimoto.
"The water you saw was from the Netherworld," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler. "The water will poison any human that touches it and will kill them,"
"The Netherworld?" Tyler said in confusion.
"One of my ancestors faced off against the evil beings of the Netherworld and it was because of him and his team that the Nighlok were trapped for hundreds of years," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler.
"How do we stop these Nighlok?" Tyler asked Mr. Yoshimoto.
"I am too old to battle them now, but when I saw the anger in you earlier, I knew you would be a rightful choice," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler.
"Sorry to break the news to you, but I'm a one armed fifteen year old kid," Tyler said to Mr. Yoshimoto.
"Then we must hope that your arm is healed by the time they began showing themselves," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler. "But for now, we will train using only your left arm,"
"Look, I'm not a demon killer," Tyler said to Mr. Yoshimoto. "I'm just a teenager looking to have a good future after a massive downfall,"
"You really don't know much about this city do you?" Mr. Yoshimoto asked Tyler.
"What're you talking about?" Tyler asked Mr. Yoshimoto.
"You know those awards Angel Grove has gotten about being one of the most peaceful cities in the country?" Mr. Yoshimoto asked Tyler.
"Are you saying they're lies?" Tyler asked Mr. Yoshimoto.
"Yes, Angel Grove has only been peaceful these past eighteen years," Mr. Yoshimoto told Tyler. "Before 1999 there were monsters, machines and even space pirates kicking down everyone's door causing chaos,"
Tyler then began laughing.
"Yeah, I must still be passed out right now," Tyler said as he continued laughing.
"This is no time for laughing," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler.
"Sorry, but the space pirate thing just came out of nowhere," Tyler said to Mr. Yoshimoto.
"I promise you, I will turn you into a warrior that will bring fear to the Nighlok," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler.
"How do I explain not being home to my parents if I'm going to be training with you?" Tyler asked Mr. Yoshimoto.
"You're hired," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler as he held his hand out to him.
"Wait, you want me to work here?" Tyler asked Mr. Yoshimoto.
"Just as a cashier for now due to your arm injury, but also to train you without your parents worrying about your whereabouts," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler.
"Alright, thanks," Tyler said as he smirked.
"Then let's hurry and get you home," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler. "After work tomorrow, we begin the actual work,"
"Okay," Tyler said to Mr. Yoshimoto as he walked towards the door.
Mr. Yoshimoto and Tyler then walked out the door. The two then headed over to Mr. Yoshimoto's car and got inside. The car then drove off down the road.
The next day Tyler was sitting in the cafeteria by himself at a table. Tyler then laid his head down on the table and sighed.
"Is the stuff Mr. Yoshimoto told me really true?" Tyler asked himself in confusion.
Lyra then walked over to the table and sat down beside Tyler.
"Are you trying to sleep during lunch?" Lyra asked him.
"No, I'm just thinking to myself," Tyler said to his sister as he sat up.
"Dad was pretty ticked off when you came in late last night," Lyra said to Tyler as she looked over at him.
"I had a job interview," Tyler said to Lyra.
"Job interviews don't last until midnight," Lyra said to her brother.
"Why can't you stop asking me questions?" Tyler asked Lyra as he lied his head back down.
"Sorry, I was just checking on you," Lyra said as she got up.
Lyra then walked away from Tyler leaving him by himself. Kyle and Eddie then walked past Lyra and came up to Tyler's table.
"What was that about?" Eddie asked Tyler.
"She was just being a nosy sister," Tyler said to Eddie.
"So when did you finally wake up last night?" Kyle asked Tyler.
"Around closing time," Tyler said to Kyle. "That homework was pretty boring,"
"Oh, what're you doing after school today?" Eddie asked Tyler.
"Working," Tyler said to Eddie as he got up from the table.
"When did you get a job?" Kyle said in confusion.
"Last night at the Youth Center," Tyler told Kyle as he stood above Kyle and Eddie.
"Dude, Mr. Yoshimoto never hires anyone," Kyle said in amazement.
"Well I guess he changed," Tyler said as he shrugged his shoulders.
Tyler then walked away from the table.
"You know, Tyler's been weird since he got out of the hospital," Eddie told Kyle.
"Tell me about it," Kyle said to Eddie as he sighed.
After school Tyler walked into the Youth Center and saw Mr. Yoshimoto at the counter.
"Look, I don't know if I can handle keeping this stuff quiet," Tyler said to Mr. Yoshimoto.
Mr. Yoshimoto then silently looked over at Tyler.
"Get back here and get to work," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler as he walked towards the back.
Tyler then walked behind the counter and walked into the back with Mr. Yoshimoto.
"My friends are driving me crazy with questions and I can't keep lying," Tyler told Mr. Yoshimoto.
"Then don't answer them," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler as he began washing dishes. "Change the subject,"
"I'll just go back to the register and get to work," Tyler said in frustration as he walked away.
Tyler then walked up to the cash register and sat down in a chair beside it. Tyler then pulled out his phone and began browsing on the internet.
"Red water," Tyler quietly said to himself as he typed on his phone.
A page then popped up on the phone.
"Ugh, this is about wine," Tyler said as he closed the page.
Tyler then typed again on his phone and brought up a page of pictures with demons in them.
"Excuse me," Someone said to Tyler from the other side of the counter.
Tyler then jumped in astonishment as he dropped his phone. Tyler then looked over and saw a girl standing at the counter.
"Oh hey Steph," Tyler said to Stephanie as he picked up his phone.
"When did you start working here?" Stephanie asked Tyler.
"About five minutes ago," Tyler said to Stephanie.
"That's cool, but have you seen your sister around?" Stephanie asked Tyler.
"No, she hasn't shown up here yet," Tyler told Stephanie.
"Alright thanks, I'll just go wait for her at a table," Stephanie said to Tyler as she walked away.
Tyler then pulled his phone back out and looked at the images of the demons.
"If things like this are coming, how am I supposed to fight them?" Tyler asked himself.
A few hours later the last customers walked out the door. Mr. Yoshimoto then walked up to the door and locked it. He then turned around and looked at Tyler.
"Follow me," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler as he walked by the counter.
Tyler then followed Mr. Yoshimoto to his office in the back.
"You will tell no one of this," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler as he reached under his desk.
Tyler then looked over at the wall and saw a piece slide in. A doorway then appeared in the wall leading to a staircase going down.
"When was this put here?" Tyler asked Mr. Yoshimoto.
"It was just a basement when I bought the building, but I turned it into a place for peace to myself," Mr. Yoshimoto told Tyler as they walked down the stairs.
Tyler and Mr. Yoshimoto then walked up to a Japanese sliding door. Mr. Yoshimoto then slid the door open and revealed a large room filled with ancient Japanese items.
"There are even other rooms down here," Tyler said as he walked up to another sliding door.
"Stay in this room for now," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler as he walked over to a cushion and sat down on it.
Tyler then walked back over to Mr. Yoshimoto and sat down on the floor. Tyler then looked around the room and saw swords hanging on the wall and Japanese Samurai Armor on a mannequin.
"Are you going to turn me into a warrior?" Tyler asked Mr. Yoshimoto.
"I cannot say I will," Mr. Yoshimoto told Tyler. "Only you can change yourself,"
Mr. Yoshimoto then pointed over at a training dummy and a rack of kendo sticks.
"Using only your left hand for now, go use a kendo stick on that training dummy," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler.
Tyler then walked over to the rack and picked up a kendo stick.
"Huh?" Tyler said in confusion.
Tyler then poked the dummy with the kendo stick.
"I said hit it!" Mr. Yoshimoto shouted in frustration.
Tyler then froze in horror.
"Okay, sorry," Tyler said as he reared the kendo stick back.
Tyler then hit the training dummy with the kendo stick.
"Keep going," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler.
"This is getting old pretty fast," Tyler said to Mr. Yoshimoto as he continued to hit the dummy with the kendo stick.
The remaining months of the school year quickly went by. Tyler trained with Mr. Yoshimoto throughout the fall, winter and spring and even regained control of his then injured arm throughout the months.
June 2018(Present)
"Danny!" A little boy shouted as he ran down into a dark alley.
The little boy then ran past a red glowing crack on the wall of a building. The little boy then walked up to a knocked over garbage can and knelt down in front of it. He then looked inside the garbage can and saw a small dog hiding inside.
"Danny!" The boy said in joy as he reached in for the dog.
The dog then began whining and shivering.
"What's wrong boy?" The boy asked his dog.
A group of monsters then walked up behind the boy as the dog began barking. The boy then turned around and screamed in horror.
"Stay away from me!" The boy shouted in horror as he backed away from the monsters.
A person in a black outfit then fell down from the fire escape and landed in between the boy and the monsters.
"Hurry and run," The masked person said to the little boy.
The little boy then quickly grabbed his dog and ran away.
"It's about time I met you freaks," The person said to the monsters as he pulled out a sword.
One of the monsters then stepped forwards and screeched at the masked person. The monster then swung its sword and barely scratched the person's arm.
"Go back to where you came from!" The person shouted as he swung his sword and knocked the monster back.
The monsters then began surrounding the person.
"Four on one, that seems fair to me," The person said as he snickered.
The masked person then quickly stabbed the monster standing behind him and then hit the last three with a spinning kick at once. The four monsters then fell to the ground and faded away. The person then walked over to the crack and saw it disappear.
"Good riddance," The person said to himself as he removed his mask.
Tyler then looked over at the cut on his arm and sighed.
"I'll just tell mom and dad that a crazy cat attacked me," Tyler said to himself as he walked back to the corner.
Tyler then climbed back up the fire escape and fled the area.
Mr. Yoshimoto was meditating silently by himself in the dojo as Tyler came walking in. Mr. Yoshimoto then opened his eyes and saw the cut on Tyler's arm.
"The Nighlok have begun appearing Sensei," Tyler said to Mr. Yoshimoto.
"Then we must act fast before they send more powerful Nighlok," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler as he rose to his feet.
Mr. Yoshimoto then walked over to the wall and placed his hand on a panel. A piece of the wall then opened up and revealed a metal case hidden in the wall. Mr. Yoshimoto then walked over to a table and placed the metal case on it.
"Inside this box is the power you will use to defeat the Nighlok and seal them away once again," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler as he opened the case.
Mr. Yoshimoto then grabbed an item out of the box and handed it to Tyler.
"This is your Samuraizer," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler. "It will morph you into a Red Power Ranger and will allow you to advance your symbol power to the next level,"
"So this is the key to defeat the Nighlok?" Tyler asked Mr. Yoshimoto.
"For now it is just to hold them off," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler. "For now we will continue training until one of our sensors picks up a Nighlok signal,"
Tyler then nodded to Mr. Yoshimoto and then walked away. Tyler then went to grab a kendo stick when an alarm began going off. Mr. Yoshimoto then looked over at Tyler.
"This time, I will accompany you and send them a message," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler.
"Alright then," Tyler said as he walked to the exit.
A group of Moogers began coming into the world through the cracks on the walls of a building. The Moogers then began tossing garbage cans around and attacking people. A small object then came flying and struck each of the Moogers knocking them away from the civilians. The people then ran away in fear as the Moogers were stunned. A figure in a red suit then stepped out in front of the Moogers.
"Moogers, you may have been released after hundreds of years but this is a warning," Mr. Yoshimoto said to the Moogers as he walked up. "This Red Samurai Ranger here beside me has been trained for your return and he will send you all back to where you came from,"
"That's enough," Tyler said to Mr. Yoshimoto as he stepped forward.
Tyler then pulled his sword out and placed a disc on it. The Moogers then began running towards Tyler screeching. Tyler then struck the first Mooger with his sword and shoved it away. Another Mooger then ran up swinging its sword at Tyler. Tyler dodged the sword and quickly rolled behind the Mooger.
"Spin Sword, Blazing Strike!" Tyler shouted as he spun the disc on his sword.
Tyler then quickly struck the remaining Nighlok with a single flaming strike and destroyed them. Mr. Yoshimoto then walked up to Tyler and placed his hand on Tyler's shoulder.
"That was a great start," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Tyler.
Tyler then demorphed and walked away from Mr. Yoshimoto.
"Are you sure I can do this alone?" Tyler asked Mr. Yoshimoto.
"I was about to ask you the same question when we got back to the dojo," Mr. Yoshimoto told Tyler. "It will be your decision if you want assistance,"
Mr. Yoshimoto then walked away leaving Tyler by himself. Tyler then pulled out his Samuraizer and looked at it.
"It just doesn't feel right doing this by myself," Tyler said to himself as he closed his eyes.
Tyler then walked away as a glowing yellow eye was staring at him through the crack to the Netherworld.
"Master Xandred, it may have been hundreds of years since we attacked Earth, but those samurais that imprisoned us are still around," A small monster said to someone as he wobbled back inside of the boat.
"No, they're not the same ones that defeated me before," A large monster said as he walked into the room grumbling. "The one that was threatening the Moogers is a descendant of one of the original warriors that imprisoned us,"
"And what about the other one?" The small monster asked Master Xandred.
Master Xandred then began snickering as he sat down against the wall.
"He's nothing but a pawn Octoroo," Master Xandred said as he sat his sword aside.
Octoroo then looked out the window and sighed.
"A pawn you say?" Octoroo wondered. "I have a feeling you're wrong,"
The next day Tyler was sitting at the counter in the Youth Center staring at all the teenagers hanging out.
"What would I need for a team?" Tyler asked himself as he looked around.
"Muscle?" Tyler asked himself as he looked over at the weight benches and saw guys working out.
"Brains?" Tyler said as he saw the people reading books and playing on their phones.
"Hey," Lyra said to Tyler as she quickly walked up.
Tyler then jumped in astonishment.
"What is with you and Stephanie doing that?" Tyler asked his sister.
"I don't know, you should be paying attention," Lyra said to her brother as she sat down at the bar.
Lyra then noticed the bandage on Tyler's arm.
"What happened to you?" Lyra asked Tyler.
"Oh that was just a crazy cat in the alley that attacked me when I was carrying out the trash," Tyler told Lyra.
Lyra then looked at Tyler's face and saw him looking around the Youth Center.
"Are you looking for someone?" Lyra said in confusion.
Tyler then looked over at Lyra.
"No, I was just making sure no one was in need of anything," Tyler said to Lyra.
"But don't you have to walk up to their table to know that?" Lyra told Tyler as she giggled.
"Oh shut up," Tyler said in frustration as he threw a rag at his sister.
"Oh gross,' Lyra said in disgust as she tossed the rag on the bar.
Tyler then looked over at Lyra.
"That's it," Tyler said as he to himself.
"What?" Lyra said in confusion.
"Sorry, I need to go talk to Mr. Yoshimoto," Tyler said to his sister as he walked away.
Tyler then walked into the back office to find Mr. Yoshimoto. Lyra then leaned back in her chair and looked over at the office. Lyra then got up from her seat and walked over to the office door. Lyra then peeked inside and saw no one in the office.
"What, that's impossible?" Lyra said in confusion.
Lyra then walked into the office and began looking around in confusion. Lyra then walked up to a desk and saw a picture of a younger Mr. Yoshimoto with a little boy. Lyra then placed her hand on the desk and hit a button.
"What was that?" Lyra said in confusion as she quickly lifted her hand up.
The doorway then opened up on the wall. Lyra then slowly walked over to the door and peeked inside.
"What is this?" Lyra said in confusion as she walked through the doorway.
Lyra then began walking down the stairs and came up to the sliding door. Lyra then placed her ear on the door and could hear someone talking. Lyra then slid the door open and saw Tyler talking to Mr. Yoshimoto. Mr. Yoshimoto then looked behind Tyler and saw Lyra standing at the door.
"How did you get down here?" Mr. Yoshimoto asked Lyra.
Tyler then quickly turned around and saw Lyra.
"Okay, you can't disagree with me now," Tyler said to Mr. Yoshimoto.
"What is this?" Lyra said in amazement as she looked around.
"You shouldn't be down here," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Lyra as he walked up and grabbed her arm.
"Sensei, stop!" Tyler said to Mr. Yoshimoto as he pulled him away from Lyra.
"Tyler what is this?" Lyra asked her brother.
"This is where I've been when I'm not home or at work," Tyler told his sister. "Mr. Yoshimoto has been training since last fall because of something that is coming to Angel Grove,"
"What's coming here?" Lyra asked Tyler.
"Demons of the Netherworld, also known as Nighlok," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Lyra.
Lyra then began laughing.
"He's serious and I've seen them myself," Tyler said to his sister.
Tyler then pulled the bandage off his arm.
"A cat didn't do this, a sword from one of the Nighlok did," Tyler told his sister.
Tyler then turned towards Mr. Yoshimoto.
"We can't just let her go off knowing this, she has to become one of your students too," Tyler said to Mr. Yoshimoto.
"Yeah, no," Lyra said to Tyler. "I don't have time to be wearing ninja getups and fighting demons,"
"That is not ninja!" Mr. Yoshimoto shouted in annoyance.
"Yeah saying that gets him kind of cranky," Tyler said to Lyra. "I said the same thing about the training gear,"
Tyler then grabbed his sister's arm and walked her over to the corner.
"Look, it's the summer, we don't have to worry about school right now," Tyler said to Lyra. "I need someone to help me; I can't fight these Nighlok by myself,"
Lyra then sighed and shoved Tyler away.
"Man you're pouty eyes are irritating," Lyra said to Tyler as she walked by him.
Lyra then looked over at Mr. Yoshimoto.
"What do I need to do?" Lyra asked Mr. Yoshimoto.
"First you must help your brother find three more allies," Mr. Yoshimoto said to Lyra.
Lyra then looked back at Tyler.
"I think I already know two of his choices," Lyra told Mr. Yoshimoto.
Kyle and Eddie were walking down the street talking to each other on their way to the Youth Center.
"So, when does football training start again?" Kyle asked Eddie.
"It should start at the end of July," Eddie told Kyle as they quickly turned a corner.
Tyler and Lyra then pulled up to a red light and began looking around.
"There, I see them!" Lyra said to Tyler as she spotted Kyle and Eddie.
"Alright, let's go get them," Tyler said as he quickly turned the car around.
"Are you sure you want Kyle on the team?" Lyra asked Tyler.
"What's wrong with that?" Tyler asked Lyra. "He's been our friend since elementary school,"
"Never mind," Lyra said as she looked away.
Tyler then hit the brakes as he pulled up beside Eddie and Kyle.
"Guys get in," Tyler said to his friends.
"What's the rush?" Eddie asked Tyler.
"Yeah we were heading to the Youth Center," Kyle told Tyler.
"Awesome, so were we," Lyra said to Kyle. "We'll give you guys a lift,"
Kyle and Eddie then looked at each other in confusion.
"Okay?" Eddie said to Tyler and Lyra as he got into the car.
Kyle then got in the car behind Eddie.
"We need to make one more stop," Tyler said to the others.
Tyler then pulled up to the city pool in the car. Tyler then quickly got out of the car.
"I'll be right back," Tyler said to the others as he walked away.
"Why're we here?" Eddie asked the others.
"Doesn't Stephanie work here as a lifeguard in the summer?" Kyle asked Lyra.
Lyra then looked over at a wall and saw a red crack beginning to open.
"What is that?" Lyra asked the guys in the back.
Kyle and Eddie then looked out the window and saw a Mooger crawl out of the crack.
"Oh, that thing looks worse than your aunt Eddie," Kyle said in disgust.
Eddie then elbowed Kyle in the stomach.
"We can't sit here with that thing running around," Eddie said to the others.
More Moogers then crawled out of the crack and began causing trouble in the area.
"Tyler, any day now!" Lyra said in horror.
Tyler then ran up to the pool and saw Stephanie sitting at the lifeguard tower. A lifeguard then ran out in front of Tyler.
"No running!" The lifeguard said to Tyler.
Tyler then shoved the lifeguard out of the way and knocked him into the pool. Stephanie then looked down and saw Tyler running towards her.
"What's going on?" Stephanie asked Tyler.
"We don't have time to talk," Tyler said to Stephanie as people began screaming.
Stephanie then looked over and saw the Moogers climbing the fences. Tyler then looked back and saw the Moogers jump over the fence.
"Great," Tyler said to himself as he took off running towards the Moogers.
Tyler then quickly kicked one of the Moogers in the chest and knocked it onto a table. Lyra, Kyle and Eddie then ran into the pool area as people were fleeing.
"Guys, don't let them hurt anyone!" Tyler said to the others as he shoved a Mooger off of himself.
Eddie then picked up a plastic chair and smashed it over a Mooger's head. The Mooger then turned around at Eddie and screeched.
"Oh hell no!" Eddie shouted as he kicked the Mooger back.
Tyler then looked over and saw a group of Mooger's beginning to climb the lifeguard tower trying to get Stephanie. Tyler then reached into his pocket and pulled out a pentagon shaped object.
"Lion Folding Zord!" Tyler shouted as he tossed the object towards the lifeguard tower.
The object then transformed into a lion while in mid-air and began knocking the Moogers off the tower.
"Here you go ugly!" Kyle shouted as he put an inner tube on a Mooger.
Kyle then kicked the Mooger into the pool and watched it float to the other side. Another Mooger then ran up behind Kyle and grabbed him.
"Let go of me you freak!" Kyle shouted in horror.
Lyra then ran up with a pool net and placed the net over the Mooger's face. Lyra then pulled the Mooger off Kyle and kicked it aside.
"Stephanie we need to leave!" Tyler shouted to Stephanie from below.
Stephanie then looked down in horror and saw the Moogers climbing the tower again. Tyler then began climbing the lifeguard tower behind the Moogers.
"Hey Eddie, it's time for the extra point!" Kyle shouted to Eddie as he grabbed a football.
Kyle then knelt down with the football in a field goal position. Eddie then ran up and kicked the ball and hit a Mooger in the back. The Mooger then fell off the tower and landed in the pool. Tyler then grabbed a Mooger by the ankle and pulled it off the tower. Eddie and Kyle then kicked the Mooger into the pool as Tyler climbed up to Stephanie.
"You okay?" Tyler asked Stephanie.
"Yeah, but what are those things?" Stephanie asked Tyler.
"You'll find out soon," Tyler said to Stephanie as Moogers began tearing down the fence around the pool.
Tyler then looked over and saw a different monster than the Moogers.
"What is that?" Tyler said in confusion.
"Moogers destroy them!" The blue and red monster shouted as the Moogers began swarming into the pool area.
"We need to get out of here!" Eddie shouted to Tyler.
Tyler then grabbed Stephanie's arm and jumped off the lifeguard tower. The two of them then landed in the pool and quickly got out.
"Don't do that ever again!" Stephanie said in horror as she hit Tyler.
"Just get to the car!" Tyler shouted to the others as they ran away.
Tyler then pulled out his morpher and quickly drew a symbol. A cloud of smoke then instantly appeared and blinded the Moogers and the new monster.
"Don't let them escape!" The monster shouted as he began coughing.
Tyler then quickly ran up to the car and got in.
"What were those things?" Stephanie asked the others.
"Oh those were Eddie's Aunts," Kyle told Stephanie.
"Now is not the time for jokes," Eddie said to Kyle.
"Tyler, start the car!" Lyra shouted to her brother.
"It won't start!" Tyler shouted as he tried to crank the engine.
"Here they come!" Kyle shouted in horror.
The car then started as the Moogers began jumping on the car.
"See you later freaks," Tyler said to the Moogers as he quickly hit the gas.
The car then quickly backed away from the parking lot and caused the Moogers to slide off. The car then drove off in a hurry as the monster walked out into the parking lot.
"Man, I'm beginning to feel a little dry," The monster said to himself as he looked at his hand.
"Let's get back to the Sanzu River and reenergize," The monster said to the Moogers as he walked to the crack.
Tyler and the others then quickly arrived at the Youth Center.
"What're we doing here?" Kyle asked Tyler.
"This is the only place we can go after what just happened," Tyler said to Kyle as everyone quickly ran inside.
"Why is no one here?" Stephanie said in confusion.
"Mr. Yoshimoto closed up early," Tyler said to the others as he walked into Mr. Yoshimoto's office.
"Come on guys," Lyra said to the others as she walked into the office.
Tyler then pressed the button on Mr. Yoshimoto's desk and revealed the hidden doorway.
"Let's go," Tyler said to the others as he walked through the doorway.
The other four teens followed Tyler down the stairs and came up to the door. Tyler then slid the door open and revealed the dojo. Mr. Yoshimoto then turned around towards the teens.
"What you just experienced is only the beginning and it will only get worse as time goes on," Mr. Yoshimoto said to the teens.
