A/N: This story is coming fast. Anyway, let's take a change from the TV version, and look in on what the Samurai rangers were doing in the RPM dimension. And then the last part is inspired by a scene from the Avengers.
Location: Wastelands
Time: 5:10 PM
Antonio is the first one to wake up. He looks at their environment. All there is is sand. And the occasional metal scrap. He tries to wake up the other rangers. "Guys, wake up!" Nothing. He grabs LZ. "LightZord Battle Disk Scattershot!" The LightZord launches a plethora of disks at the rangers. This wakes them up.
"Ow! That hurt!" Mike rubs his temples. "Where are we?" Emily asks. "I think we're in the middle of nowhere." Kevin answers. "Scott said that this is his dimension, right?" Mia asks. They all nod. "We should find that domed city he was telling us about." "Domed city? What are you talking about?" Antonio asks. "We'll explain on the way."
"Hey, where's our Samuraizers?" Mike asks after patting his butt. "My Samurai Morpher is missing too!" Antonio yelps. "Maybe they got thrown out of our reach when we got here. If we head straight, maybe we could find them." Kevin says. "Good idea." Mike tells him. They then start to wander the Wastelands that is Earth.
After what seemed like a few hours, they see the dome. "Hey! There it is!" Mike notices. They head faster towards it. They then hear mechanical whirring. "Don't tell me. Are we being ambushed by Grinders?" Mike asks. They turn behind them to see Tenaya, some Grinders, and some robot. "So we meet again gold ranger." Tenaya taunts. "So we do." Antonio quips.
"Who are you?" Mike asks. "Tenaya. Generation 15 human infiltration attack bot. I am thoughts and minds. I am mankind's subconscious being. I am the final stage in-" Tenaya gets cut off again by Antonio. "Just tell us what you're doing here." "I am here to see your destruction will Explosion Bot."
"Explosion Bot? That's kind of a stupid name." Kevin scoffs. "It's not so stupid once it gets done with you." Tenaya taunts again. "Attack." The Grinders charge. The rangers take out their swords out of nowhere and fight them off. They're actually doing pretty good despite what Scott told them. "Who said that our swords won't cut them?" Mike smiles. Once they were done with them, they turn to the Explosion Bot.
"Time for the big game." Mia announces. They take out air from their pockets. Kevin, Mia, Emily, and Mike shout, "Go Go Samurai!" Antonio shouts, "Gold Power!" Nothing happens. "Oh yeah, no morphing devices." Mia remembers. "Well donkey poo." Emily curses. "I'm pretty sure we can still take him." Antonio confidently says. The others shrug and fight anyway. They are overpowered by Explosion Bot.
"Guess we can't." "And now, you will see Explosion Bot's true power." Tenaya tells them. Explosion Bot snaps its fingers, and an explosion appears right in front of the rangers' faces. "Run!" Mike yells. They start to run to the domed city for shelter. As they run, explosions follow. "Was he inspired by a Michael Bay film?" Mike asks. "We have to get to the city! Faster!" Mia shouts.
They see the whole dome now. "Look! The gates!" Emily shouts. An explosion blocks their path, and they are thrown to the ground in recoil. The Explosion Bot appears again. "I think an explosion is gonna come soon. Somewhere very close by." Kevin fears. "You don't say?" Mike asks. It is about to snap its fingers, but the sound of a motorcycle distracts it from doing so. The motorcycle jumps on it. The driver parks the motorcycle and begins to fight the Attack Bot.
Two more vehicles arrive. A Scottish man tells Mike, Emily, and Mia to hop into his car, while some other guy in black tells Kevin and Antonio to get in his. Both cars drive into the city. The next few lines of dialogue are interchanged between the two cars. "But what about her?" Antonio asks. "She'll be fine." The man answers. "Call me Dillon. My friend in the blue Hummer is Flynn."
"Then who's the girl?" Mike asks. "That's our second-in-command, Summer." Flynn answers. "Where's your leader?" Mia asks. "Other places." Dillon answers. "Ziggy, Gem, Gemma. Your cue is now." Flynn tells someone over his phone. "Roger that!" A man's voice answers. The cars enter the city, and everyone exits the cars. "Stay here." Flynn tells the Samurai. A man with frizzy, brown hair and two Asians arrive to meet up with Dillon and Flynn.
"Let's go." Dillon tells them. They nod, run, then scream, "RPM, get in gear!" They all transform into Power Rangers. The Samurai are shocked. "They morphed!" Kevin yells. "They're Power Rangers!" Antonio squeals. "They even have a gold one!" "And a silver one." Mike notes. "Could they be?" Mia wonders. "Scott's team?" Emily asks.
They watch from the inside as the blue, yellow, green, gold, and silver rangers battle Explosion Bot. The black ranger is fighting off Tenaya. Antonio notices something on the ground near the snack shop. "Hey guys!" Antonio screams. "What?" They ask. Antonio runs to the snack shop and brings back some phone devices. "Our Samuraizers!" Emily gleefully yells. "And my Samurai Morpher!" Antonio cuddles with it. "Let's go help them." Mia orders.
"Samuraizers! Go Go Samurai!"
"Samurai Morpher! Gold Power! HA!"
They join the other Power Rangers. "More rangers?" Yellow asks. "That must be why there's no Grinders around." Blue theorizes. Mike tackles the Explosion Bot to the ground. Mia and Emily slash it with their swords. Kevin and Antonio help Black with Tenaya. "I got this. Go help the others." Black tells them. They recognize that voice as Dillon's.
Tenaya turns invisible. "Great! Not again!" Antonio yells. "Again?" Kevin and Dillon ask. Meanwhile, the two greens and two yellows kick the Attack Bot back to the ground. Blue takes out, what he calls, his "Turbo Canon." He shoots the Explosion Bot. "Does that mean..." Silver starts. "...it's boom time?" Gold finishes. "You are go for boom time." A girl's voice answers over Yellow's phone. Mia, on the other hand, is finding Tenaya.
"Cloud Hatchet. Ice mode!" Gold and Silver slash the Explosion Bot, and it is destroyed. Tenaya reappears behind Mia. "I will be back. With more powerful Attack Bots to do you in. Just you wait rangers." Tenaya speeds back to wherever.
The rangers face each other. "Could you be Scott's team by any chance?" Mia asks. "We'll explain later. Come follow us." Yellow orders. The Samurai shrug and walk into the domed city named Corinth.
Location: The Garage
Time: 7:50 PM
"Power down." All the rangers power down to reveal themselves. They greet each other.
"I'm Flynn McAlistair."
"Summer Landsdown."
"Ziggy Grover."
"Dillon." "No last name?" Mike asks. "Be nice." Emily reiterates. "No last name."
"And we're Gem..." "...and Gemma!" The boom happy twins show extremely forced smiles. "Anyone else creeped out that they might share a brain?" Mike asks. The Samurai rangers raise their hands. "Mike." Emily scolds while she raises her hand. "It's okay." "We get that..." "...a lot."
"Well, I'm Mia Watanabe."
"Antonio Garcia, fisherman at best."
"Mike." "No last name?" Dillon asks. "Heh. Very funny." Mike scoffs.
"Emily."
"Kevin."
"Alright, first thing's first. How do you know Scott?" Flynn asks. "We sort of ran into him in our dimension." Mia explains. "Your dimension?" Summer asks. "Yes, our dimension. Scott explained to us about the different dimensions." "Are you guys the only rangers?" "No, there have been plenty more. Except, they're all retired and living normal lives." Kevin explains. "Are you guys the only rangers?"
"The first team."
"The first team?" Emily asks.
"Yes. Up until now, there was no evil threat to the world. It was only a year ago when Venjix stated its attack on mankind. We may be the last of mankind. That's why Venjix attacks the city with his Attack Bots."
"Attack Bots?" Mia asks.
"You know that robot that Tenaya had with her?" Dillon asks. They nod. "That was an Attack Bot." "Would Professor Cog be an Attack Bot as well?" Antonio asks. "Not exactly." A girl's voice answers. "And that's Dr. K." Ziggy puts his arm around her. "Don't touch me." Dr. K quickly says. He puts his arm back on his side. "I am their mentor." "Mentor?" Mike asks. "No offense, but aren't you younger than them?"
"Thank you! I've been trying to get someone to vouch for me on that." Ziggy immediately thanks. Dr. K shoots a mean look at the two greens. "I'm their mentor. I can tell you that Professor Cog is not your ordinary Attack Bot." "What is he then?" Kevin asks. "He's a Venjix general." "Oh, never would have guessed."
"How did you guys even end up here anyway?" Ziggy asks. "Well, we were battling Cog with Scott, and then he launched, what he called, a 'Fender Vortex' at him and our leader, Jayden. We blocked the way, and got sent to here." Mia explains. LZ flickers and flashes.
"Don't worry, you'll get back to your dimension soon." Dr. K addresses the lantern. "How did you know what it was saying?" Antonio asks. "It's simple Morse code. All it said was, 'We have to get back to save our dimension.'" "Mind giving me a Morse code sheet so I can understand it better?"
There is a knock on the door. "Pizza!" A voice yells. "Sweet. Dinner!" Ziggy rushes to the door. He pays for the pizza and brings it to the kitchen area.
After a few minutes, everyone but Kevin was enjoying a slice of Jungle Karma Pizza. He was enjoying some of Antonio's grilled sea bass. Ziggy walks to Kevin. "Hey, Kev. Why don't you just have a slice?" He asks. "No thanks." Kevin answers. Mike swallows some soda. "He's working on a 'strict samurai diet.' He can't eat anything unhealthy." Mike explains.
"Oh come on, Kev. Have a slice. I'm sure all samurai had to eat some unhealthy stuff during a war." Ziggy tries to convince.
"No thanks, Zig. There was no unhealthy foods back in the old days. Samurai just ate an overabundance of food." Kevin explains. "Whatever. I'm gonna enjoy this."
Antonio and Dillon were talking about Tenaya. "Well, you see, I was serving some baby barracuda fish kabobs to two of my friends when she arrived. She said that she had to observe me and the other Samurai rangers fighting. That way she can see our abilities. I have no idea why she would do that." Antonio explains. "Plus, she does this long introduction of herself. It's so annoying." "She's my sister." Dillon smirks.
"Annoying...ly golden." Antonio defends. "Thought so." Summer comes out of Dr. K's lab. "Dillon, it's time." She tells him. "See you later." Dillon tells Antonio. He walks into Dr. K's lab with Summer. LZ flashes and flickers again. Using the sheet Dr. K gave him, Antonio translates this as, "What are they doing?" "Och, well, Dillon has Venjix robotic implants." Flynn answers. "He and Tenaya were prisoners at a Venjix factory."
"A factory? What for?" Mike asks. "To turn humans into robot hybrids. That's what happened to Tenaya." Ziggy answers. Gem and Gemma being their explanation. "You see..."...everyday, Dr. K scans Dillon's body..." "...in order to see if the virus..." "...had spread in his body." "Lately, it's been going up..." "...and up..."...and up. Slowly, though." "Then why is Summer there? And what happens when the virus speeds up the spreading?" Emily asks.
"Well, we don't know exactly what will happen if it does, but we can guess that he'll become an Attack Bot." Flynn answers. "And Summer's only there to comfort him." Ziggy finishes. "Aw, how sweet." Mia smiles."I wish my Prince Charming would comfort me if I was in trouble. Maybe the other way around too." "Mia has this dream to be married to the perfect guy." Mike tells the RPM rangers while Mia fantasizes.
Emily smiles at Mike. Flynn, Gem, and Gemma take note of this. Flynn gestures the boom happy twins to not talk about it. They nod their heads while showing actual, real smiles.

Time: 8:30 PM
"You fight like an amateur!" Jayden yells. "You fight like an arrogant pest who stomps on his comrades!" Scott retorts. Ji facepalms. They've been at this for hours. They didn't even eat dinner yet.
"Take off the suit, and what are you?" Jayden asks. "Air Force pilot, man trying to save people from genocide, a son who can never get his father's approval, and a little brother whose older brother that he looked up to died in the heat of the war against Venjix."
"I know guys worth more than that. My whole entire family. You waste your attacks, you show off your moves, and you have a light attitude towards battle."
"That's just me acting quick to save your dimension."
"We don't need your help. We never did!"
"Your swords won't cut the metal! You need my help!"
"No we don't!"
They walk into their rooms. "This is going to be a long night." Ji sighs as he walks into his room.
A/N: Oh, but the Avengers inspired conversations aren't over yet. Just you wait. Now, I know I should've put the Garage scenes in a next chapter, but then this chapter would be too short. So what does Tenaya and Venjix have planned? You'll definitely find out next chapter.
