Power Rangers: Star Guardians

Ep.3: What Friends Are For

It was a cool fall afternoon in the town of Decatur, all the students of Austin High School were packing, and some, like our heroes, were heading to extracurricular activities. So Jordan and Claire headed off to Drama Club, Monica to soccer practice, Michael to football practice, and Garrett went to band practice.

In the football locker room, the players on the Black Bear Football Team were gearing up and getting ready for practice. Our resident green ranger was among these players, being the captain of the team he was the first to finish and was rallying up the troops.

"Alright Black Bears let's move!!" he yelled through the locker room. The Rest of the team filed out of the locker room swiftly. Once out on the field they started their practice. Michael tried to get the rest of the team more into practice, but he knew it wouldn't work. Since he was the captain and the best by far on the team they pretty much left it up to him. So, he was used to doing things on his own. At the end of practice all the players went into the locker room to shower and change. Since Michael had to meet his friends he was the first in and the first out. On the field directly across from the football field Monica runs out of the locker room and heads the same way.

Garrett was just finishing his band practice and was leaving to meet everyone. Claire and Jordan were still in drama practice finishing the first number in The Lion King: 'THE CIRCLE OF LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFE!' As soon as they were done they ran off the stage and out of the auditorium.

The rangers all met in the parking lot beside Michael's SUV, "So everyone ready to go?" Once the words were out of his mouth Ema appeared with Darklings.

"Well I guess we'll have to wait a few before we go," said Jordan. Garrett stepped up. READY! The other rangers stepped up. READY! Their watches turned to morphers.

GUARDIAN POWER, STAR SHINE!!!

The ranger's clothes had disappeared and their bodies were glowing white. Their colored glimmer flew towards them and became a swirling beast. The beasts surrounded and became their suits. The beaks/mouths of the beasts swallowed their heads and became their helmets. They struck their poses. GUARDIANS OF THE STARS!! The rangers were immediately into action taking out all the darklings and moving on to Ema.

"Alright who are you?!" asked Garrett.

Ema laughed, "The question is who you think you are?"

Protected by the dragon, Guardian of the inferno star!! RED STAR GUARDIAN!! He posed.

Protected by the lion, Guardian of the nature star!! GREEN STAR GUARDIAN!! He posed.

Protected by the Pegasus, Guardian of the heavenly star!! BLUE STAR GUARDIAN!! He posed

Protected by the griffin, Guardian of the Electric star!! YELLOW STAR GUARDIAN!! She posed

Protected by the phoenix, Guardian of the passion star!! PINK STAR GUARDIAN!! She posed.

WE ARE THE PROTECTORS OF THE STARS ABOVE!!!

POWER RANGERS STAR GUARDIANS!!

"I am Ema assistant to Master Trivon himself," she announced. "And I have a little gift for you coming soon so you be looking forward to that!" She laughed loudly.

Now Michael was mad, "Hey who do you think you are?!" Michael jumped into action he pulled out his rod and tried to attack Ema but she pulled out her sword and slashed him. Michael flew over her sparks flying. He hit the ground and demorphed. (The suit glows the color of the ranger and turns back in to the star beast. The star beast flies away.)

"Do not attempt to stop rangers or you will end up like him!" she laughs and teleports away. The rangers run toward Michael powering down on in the process.

Jordan helped him up and asked, "Dude what were you thinking that chick is like all sorts of evil we should've attacked her together." the others agreed. Michael yanked away from their helping hands, "Listen I can do fine by myself I do it all the time!" Michael got into his car and drove off.

"Don't worry he just need's to cool off," said Jordan. "We on the other hand need to get to Sanctum." They all agreed and teleported away.

Back in Trivon's lair Ema, Wootox, and Trivon were scheming against the rangers. "Okay Ema, Wootox tell me what you have discovered that's so important," said Trivon. Ema walked over to a screen and hit a button on the wall.

"Well master, we have stumbled upon something that will definitely be of interest to the rangers and yourself," she explained. On the screen a forest showed. "We have found the star beast orbs. They are located in the forest where we first attacked. So our predictions were correct."

Trivon smiled triumphantly, "Yes, good job Ema I want you and Wootox to take a battalion of darklings and a monster from my arsenal down to the surface to find them before the rangers do!" The two henchmen bowed.

"I have the perfect candidate for the job," said Wootox. He walked over to the wall and hit a blue button. On the wall a sort of bookcase popped up he searched with his finger and found what he was looking for. He pulled out a card similar to the one Ema had. (Refer to end of ep.2)He took the card over to an ATM looking machine. He slipped the card into the slot and punch in some kind of code and the machine started up with a hiss and whirring noise it was done. On the other side of the room a terrible half lion half-metal detector monster emerged from a chamber. "Master I present to you, Leo-cator. He can help us locate the orbs faster and take care of the rangers."

"Good job Wootox now go and get those orbs!!" Trivon told his henchmen. Ema, Wootox, and Leo-cator teleported away.

After Michael went home to do his homework he went up to the hill to have some alone time. 'Why do I do these things? I should've waited for the others to join me. But, they have no clue I'm good at working alone.' Michael's thoughts were interrupted by an ear-splitting sound. He recognized the sound. He turned around and saw Ema and Wootox standing behind him with some kind of monster. Aw…wook at the wittle gween wanger all alone," taunted Ema.

Michael looked at her with a smile, "Do I look little to you?" Wootox stepped forward, "No matter we have work to do so the sooner we destroy you the better. DARKLINGS!!" The darklings sprang from the sky and circled Michael. Michael Just shook his head and went into action. He started to fight the darklings wiping out one after another. He conjured up some vine torpedoes and shot them at the remaining darklings.

Ema saw this and was a little amazed, "Wow you didn't even have to morph, but let's see how you do against some heavy artillery. LEO-CATOR!" Leo-cator stepped up to the plate and ran at Michael full speed Michael immediately put his football reflexes to work. He held off the freak as best he could, but it didn't last long. Michael hit the ground with a thud, but he wasn't out yet. "C'mon I take hits harder than that in football," he taunted. This made Leo-cator mad he ran toward Michael with Malice. This he was ready he dodged and tried to hit Leo from behind. That didn't work quite the way he planned because Leo turned around and threw all the way down the hill…

Back at Sanctum the other rangers were learning the ropes that is until the alarm went off. "There are traces of darkness in the forest and ranger energy," Said Trey. "It's Michael!" shouted the other's together. Then an image popped up on the big screen. It showed Leo and Michael. Leo of course with the upper hand.

"Rangers you must help him he's in trouble!" yelled Trey.

"RIGHT!" The rangers ran to the portholes and were gone.

Down in the forest Leo was standing over Michael about to destroy him when a blast from some sort of laser stopped him. He looked around and instantly saw the source. He saw his friends running toward them. They helped him up.

"Guys you came to help me! Why?

"What are friends for dude?"

"Yeah especially when they super powers."

Leo-cator recovered and was now up and ready to face the rangers.

"Um…guess you better suit up!"

Michael nodded and brought his left arm over his chest "READY!"

GUARDIAN POWER, STAR SHINE!

Michael's clothes had disappeared and his entire body was glowing white. A green glimmer flew towards him and became a swirling lion. The lion surrounded him and became a green and white body suit with gold and black trimming. The mouth of the lion swallowed his head and became his helmet. Michael struck a pose. ROARING FURY OF THE LION!!

The rangers were morphed and ready to go. "Alright guys let's do this!" The rangers were in action in seconds. Throwing all they had at Leo. But that wasn't enough. The rangers were getting schooled. "Okay we need help." Then their communicators went off and Trey could be heard on the other end, "Rangers maybe the star blasters can slow him down!" "Right! Let's do it rangers!" STAR BLASTERS! The Rangers pulled out their blasters and shot at Leo. STAR FIRE! In an instant he was destroyed. "Alright that thing is toast!"

"I don't thing so!" Ema said. She pulled out the card she had from behind her. She took out a portable credit card swiper, which had a picture of Leo on it. She swiped the card through it and a few options came up on the screen. "Hmm… I'd like to enlarge my credit options." She touched the enlarge option and in an instant a black ray shot toward Leo's remains. A dark cloud cover the sky and Leo's remains floated up into the sky where they enlarged and glowed purple. When the light and cloud disappeared a much larger version of Leo-cator appeared. "Uh-oh that does not look good!" The rangers looked up at the monster. He towered over them and tried to stomp on the rangers. Claire called up Trey on the comm. "Umm Trey a little help!" Trey answered from Sanctum looking upon the towering, walking devastation. "Umm…guys I don't know what to say I've never seen anything like this," said Trey. The rangers were in trouble if Trey didn't have anything that could help them what would they do. Then Michael saw a green glimmer out of the corner of his eye. "Hey guys what's that over there?" Michael pointed to area where he saw the green sparkle. He contacted Trey once again. "Hey Trey are you getting any readings in this area?" Trey typed in the coordinates and got something.

"There is something there that's sending off a signal it must be what Ema and Wootox were looking for why don't you take a look for yourself," said Trey. The rangers ran over to the area and felt some strange energy. "Guys do you feel that?" The others nodded. "Hmm… I think a little wind is in order. STAR ROD!! Alright WIND R--" Just as Jordan was about to blow the dirt away Ema jumped into the mix, "I don't think so!! The star beast orbs are mine!!!!" Jordan turned his rod on Ema. WIND ROD! Ema was hit in a strong gale of wind blowing her away. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

"Okay Blue let's see what lies under the surface," said Garrett. Jordan activated his rod again and blew away the top layer of earth. When the wind and dust cleared the rangers were amazed at what they saw. There lie five orbs in each of their colors. The orbs floated up into the awaiting hands of the rangers. "Whoa…um, Trey what are these?" asked a curious Yellow ranger. Trey typed on the keyboard a bit and scanned the orbs.

"Yes! They're exactly what I thought they were!" Trey yelled into the comm. "Okay and that is…what exactly?" asked Michael. Trey still excited answered, "They are the legendary star beast orbs! They are used to call on the star beasts." The rangers looked at the power they had literally in their hands. And they were brought back to the reality of the situation bye Leo trying to step on them. The rangers jumped out of the way quickly.

"Rangers you need to activate the orbs and pray to the beasts to summon them!" Trey told them. The rangers cupped both hands around their orb and Garrett began the prayer: "Dear heavenly beasts we need your power to help us now. Please descend from the heaven!!" The orbs glowed and the rangers released them into the sky. STAR BEASTS DESCEND!! The rangers raised their palms into the sky and released color-coded energy into the sky. The energy and the orbs combined and in an instant the sky opened and five colossal beasts emerged. "Alright Rangers let's do this!" The rangers jumped into the sky and entered their zords. They were all standing in their own cockpit. Each cockpit was a small dark room with a basketball sized orbs in the center that glowed. Each ranger placed their hand over their orb and the zords were activated. The rangers and their zords went into action. "Alright it's time to see what this bad Pegasus can do!" said Jalen. The Pegasus zord charged at Leo. "Horn torpedo!" The horn of the Pegasus shot at Leo and knocked him back on impact. "Yes! Hey yellow how 'bout that griffin?"

Monica swooped in with the griffin zord, "I don't know let's see what she can do!" LIGHTNING ZAP! The griffin shot a bolt of lightning from its mouth that zapped Leo's entire body. "Oh Yeah this thing rocks!" Leo slowly stumbled to his feet. He reared his arm back ready to smack the Pegasus and griffin zords out of the way, when a huge flaming rock hit him in the abdomen. That's when the lion and the phoenix zord came into the mix. "We thought you guys needed a hand so we heated up a little surprise," said Claire.

"This is so awesome are you guys okay?" asked Michael. The four zords gathered in a group. "Yeah we're fine thanks guys," said Jordan. The four rangers were so busy in celebration that they didn't notice Leo recovering. Leo got up and started to walk toward the rangers' zords. When he was suddenly stopped by a huge flame. The rangers looked up and saw the dragon zord in warrior mode. "You guys should pay more attention to things like that," said Garrett. "Alright who votes for finishing this thing off?!" RIGHT! BATTLE CARRIER FORMATION!! The four zords combined to create a tank like vehicle. The Dragon warrior jumped into the rider's compartment. "Alright Leo time for you feel the wrath of the stars!" exclaimed Garrett. "Ready rangers!!" READY!

STAR BURST BLASTER!!

Each zord shot a blast of energy in their rangers' color. The energies combined and became a golden ball of energy with a rainbow tail. The energy flew at Leo-cator. When the energy hit him it made Leo explode on impact.

All that was left of Leo was a flame that glowed purple and turned into a card like the one he originally came from. The only difference was instead of the black star on the back there was the symbol of the rangers. The rangers celebrated their victory.

"You imbeciles!!!" Trivon was furious. His eyes started turning red and his head was flaming. "How could you let the rangers win!!? And on top of that they also got the orbs! How do you explain yourselves?!" The two henchmen had their heads bowed and were flinching with every word he said.

"Master we make no excuses, but give you reassurance that we will not fail you again," Said Wootox. Trivon had cooled down a little and was now a little agitated. "You two had better make sure it doesn't happen again or next time there will be consequences!! Now out of my sight!!" The two henchmen ran out as quickly as they could.

In Sanctum the rangers were celebrating their victory and the acquiring of the star beast zords. "Hey Trey, umm…what exactly is this card with a lion and metal detector on it?" asked Claire. Trey took the card and looked at it. "This is the capture card this is what Leo-cator started out as. Every time you destroy a monster they become this."

The rangers acknowledged the information and they all began celebrating again. All but one that is. Michael had meandered off to the balcony right outside the control room. Jordan noticed this and went out to find him. When he found him Michael was looking out at the odd sky.

"Hey I thought you learned your lesson about wandering alone and running out of the group," Jordan said with a small laugh. Michael laughed with him. "Yeah and once again you came after me," they both laughed and had a moment of silence. "Listen I just wanna say I'm sorry for acting like a spoiled child and thanks for saving me out there today," Michael said. Jordan gave him a smile and pat him on the back. "It's fine we all have our moments and the whole saving you thing that wasn't me, that was the whole team." Jordan explained.

Michael chuckled, "Yeah but I know it was you who rounded up the troops." Jordan knew Michael was right they had been best friends almost like brothers for a long time so they read each other like books. "Hey just know that we're a team and that we work TOGETHER. And that we love you man, especially me…" Jordan said.

"You have no idea how long I've wanted you to say that," Michael said. Michael leaned in toward Jordan and gently brushed his lips against the other's. When the two broke apart they smiled at each other. Jordan slowly reached over and grabbed Michael's hand. "Now let's go celebrate 'buddy'!" Jordan exclaimed and the two walked with the rest of their friends.
