Chapter One
On the surface of the moon, there was a palace. When shown in the light, it was beautiful silver with a large circular object at the top with lights shining out. On the outside of the palace, above the entrance, were carved the words, "Bandra Palace." This was the lair of the witch Bandora, who was currently pacing the floor of her balcony, furious at her most recent defeat. With her were her minions. Totpat, a wingless blue humanoid vampire bat. Bukbak, a blue hobgoblin with a spiky chin and spotted pants. Grifforzer, a blue face lion warrior with golden armor that looked like a gryphon. And Lamie, Grifforzer's wife, who looked exactly like a human, wearing golden armor that had a scorpion design.
"Damn you Zyuranger!" Bandora growled as she kicked a globe, knocking Totpat and Bukbak down.
"Calm down Bandora-sama." Lamie pleaded to her mistress.
"Yeah, look at the bright side." Totpat said as he pushed the globe off Bukbak and help him up. Bandora just gave him an icy glare. Totpat gulped and replied, "A-at-at least when Burai came and saved the Zyurangers, he lost some of his life force?" Totpat then jumped behind Bukbak, trembling nervously. Bandora's face turned from a glare to a frown.
"Not even that can cheer me up." Bandora muttered as she went to sit down in her rocking chair. "That was the best Dora Monster we had in a while," Bandora said to herself. "There's got to be a way to defeat the Zyurangers?" Bandora then slammed her fist against the arms of her chair. Pleprechuan, another one of Bandora's minions, was listening to this conversation and sighed. He looked somewhat like a dog, wore a blue headband and blue lab coat that hung with tools.
"I'll get working on the next Dora Monster, Bandora-sama." Pleprechuan said to her as he started to return to his lab only to be stop by Bandora.
"No." She told him. "If we are going to have any chance to defeat the Zyurangers, we are going to need something stronger than a Dora Monster." She then got up from her rocking chair and head to her Dorascope. "But what?" She asked herself as she looked through her Dorascope at Earth.
In the Nishihori mental institution, Sensei Masao walked downs the halls, clipboard in his hand. The entire atmosphere was absolutely depressing. Everywhere he looked, he saw people mumbling and shuffling, thrashing around for seemingly no reason at all. Screaming and biting and banging their heads on walls. He remembers one moment where he saw one of the patients trying to make-out with a Vending machine. The thought send shivers down his spine. A terrible odor got his nose and when he looked into a room to find the source, he saw an elderly woman making smiley faces, stick figures and rainbows out of her own feces. He really wanted to throw-up. After twenty years in the business, he thought he be used to this by now.
"Sensei? Sensei?!" Called out a voice. Masao looked to see Hinaka Tachibana, his assistant, running towards him. She was a young woman in her early twenty training to become a physiatrist.
"What is it Hinaka?" He asked her. She came to a stop and started panting to catch her breath.
"Sensei, I have to show you something. I believe we may have found a breakthrough with Patient One-Seventeen-Ninety-two" This peak Masao's interested. Patient 1-17-92 had been one of their most difficult patients. He had been found a year ago in a quarry, badly burned and near-death wearing a strange outfit. They had no idea who he was or where he came from for they had found no ID on him and thus, couldn't contact his family. But, one thing they did know was that he was prone to violent fits every now and then. Hinaka had led him to the cafeteria where she point to Patient 1-17-92 playing a game of Checkers with a little boy that looked awfully familiar to him. When He got closer, he could see it was...
"Toshi?!" Masao asked. The young boy looked at him and said.
"Hello Father." Toshi said with a smile on his face. Masao looked at Hinaka with rage in his eyes.
"Hinaka, why on earth did you bring my son here!?" He demanded from her. She just shook nervously, trying to get her posture.
"Sensei, it wasn't like I left him here alone, I had two guards watch over them. Plus, Patient One-Seventeen-Ninety-two seems to have taken a liking to Toshi." She explained to him. "He seems much livelier with Toshi-san than any of the others." She said as she pointed over at the two. Patient One-Seventeen-Ninety-two looked like a man who they estimated to be in his late 20s/early 30s. He was originally bandaged up when he came here but slowly started to become more function able.
When Toshi had moved one of his pieces up to the last row of Patient 1-17-92's side of the Checker board and said King me, you can see some life and a slight smile on his usually zone out face.
"Maybe Hinaka," Masao began to say. "But you still had no right bringing Toshi into this!"
"But we were making a breakthrough!" She counted back. While the two of them began to argue, Patient 1-17-92 looked over at them and slowly started to get up from his chair and started to walk over to them, though more like slumping over them.
"I'm... sorry..." Patient 1-17-92 said to the two of them. "I.. d..di..didn't mean to... cause... any... tro..uble." He said them. Just when Masao and Hinaka slowly started to soften up, another patient had walked between them and accidently stepped on 1-17-92's foot. Patient 1-17-92 grabbed the other patient by the neck and the two guards ran over to them to break them up. For a split second, one could have saw a flash of an aura around 1-17-92 and two shots of light in his eyes.
Back at Bandra's Palace, Bandora was looking through her Dorascope when suddenly she felt a jolt run past her senses and sent a shiver down her spine, causing her to jump back and fall down to the floor.
"Bandora-sama!" Lamie shouted as she, Grifforzer, Totpat, Bukbak and Pleprechuan came to her aid.
"Bandora-sama, what happen?" Totpat asked as Grifforzer and Lamie pulled back to her feet.
"I sense a great power dormant somewhere on Earth!" Bandora exclaimed as she ran back to her Dorascope to search for the source. "Somewhere... right... about...THERE!" Using her scope, she peep through the building of the Nishihori Mental Institution and saw Patient 1-17-92 wrestling with some guards. Smiling for the first time in a while, Bandora turned to her minions and said, "Totpat, Bukbak, go there to this place and retrieve this man. I sense a power in him to could help us defeat the Zyurangers." After having the two look through the Dorascope to find their target, they teleport down there to retrieve their prize.
Patient 1-17-92 had been sitting on a chair in the hallway, breathing slowly for he had been injected with a sedative. Outside the building, Totpat and Bukbak were looking through the window, finding their target.
"There he is!" Totpat exclaimed excitedly. "Now, remember the plan."
"Right." Bukbak replied giving a small salute. Minutes later, the secretary at the front desk was taking some calls when she looked up and notice two strange looking guys smiling at her. One was a tall skinny guy wearing a grey tuxedo with matching pants with a red bowtie and a monocle over his left eye. The other was a short obese man wearing suspenders over a white button shirt.
"Oh, hold on for a minute." The secretary said as she put her call on hold. "Hello, how may I help you?"
"Yes," the skinny one said. "We're here to pick up that guy." as he pointed to Patient 1-17-92.
"You know him?" The secretary asked him.
"Yes, we're his..." The skinny one paused. "His family." The secretary's jaw dropped.
"For real?" The two men shook their heads really really fast. "This is great! We've been trying to find his family for months. Oh hold on, please?" As the secretary started calling Sensei Masao, the two men quickly scurried over to Patient 1-17-92, put him on the obese one's back and skedaddle out of that building.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" The skinny man shouted at the obese man as he was carrying Patient 1-17-92.
"Wh-who are you?" 1-17-92 asked the two. Once they were out of site, they put 1-17-92 on the ground, ripped off their clothes and revealed themselves to be Totpat and Bukbak in disguise.
"Hurry, get it get it!" Totpat barked at Bukbak.
"Give me a minute. Give me a minute." Bukbak told Totpat as he was digging through his bag. He pulled out a camera, a calculator, a miniature telescope, his pistol and other objects until he pulled out a tiny piece of cotton which quickly turned into a Nimbus. Totpat quickly pushed 1-17-92 and Bukbak onto the Nimbus and hop on it himself and they flew to Bandra's Palace. When the secretary got off the phone with Sensei Masao, see looked up and saw the two men and Patient 1-17-92 were gone.
"Huh? Guys? Where'd they go?"
At Bandra's Palace, Patient 1-17-92 was laying on a table covered by a cloth, eyes closed, surrounded by candles. At the altar, Bandora was working her magic. Her minions had no idea what Bandora was planning but they could see it was going to be big since she only uses her alter when she's casting her most powerful spells.
"Hear me, evil spirits..." Bandora uttered as her crystal ball began to glow. "Let me see into this man's mind." Bandora began to start chanting a spell. The candles started flicking on and off, the sounds of lighting can be heard crackling. Patient 1-17-92 started to twitch and shake. His breathing became heavy. Sweat started appearing on his face. As Bandora was chanting her spell, images started playing in her head. She could see into this man's past and see like what she saw. While this was going on, the man started to levitate and particles of energy started covering his body. Totpat and Bukbak grabbed onto each other in fear, Lamie grabbed her husband's hand standing behind him, whispering, "Darling..." Pleprechuan started covering his eyes.
"Great Evil Spirits of the Earth..." She commanded, "Return this man to what he was!" Lighting struck everywhere and Bandora's minions were scared out of their wits. When the lighting settled down, Patient 1-17-92 started levitating down onto the table again. His appearance has changed. He wore a full body suit. He had two pointed shoulder pads, one white one black. He had white spots covering half his suit. He wore a crown with his long grey hair sticking out. Bandora walked over to him grinning ear to ear. When Patient 1-17-92 started to awaken, he slowly open his eyes and looked up at Bandora's face.
"Welcome back, Emperor Tranza."
