Crimzen affixed his new eye patch. "Listen up, Crew. As long as Philippe has those ranger keys, he's a major threat. We need those keys. So we need to find Philippe as fast as possible."

The crew agreed.

"Bones, scan the planet for Philippe's ship. Sanna, make sure the ship's weapons are loaded. Joe, make sure the keys are ready to rock. Allie, get the Blasters and Cutlasses ready." The Pirates were going to war.

Sailors of the Sea of Stars, Heroes from beyond Mars,
Time to unite! Time to fight! Time for heroes to take flight!
Rangers return! With power to burn!
Time for evil to learn!
Pirates never fall! Rangers save us all!

PIRATE SQUADRON!

Power Rangers never lose! This power that we choose!

Corsairs of the sky! Rangers do or die!

POWER RANGERS! PIRATE SQUADRON!

Crimzen stood alone, remembering the destruction of Amaranth. The screams, the fear, the chaos. He had managed to get off world through sheer luck, finding a dead man and stealing his space craft. He had fled to a planet close by, intending to steal enough to eat. And there he met the crew. The Carmine Corsairs. They had took him in, trained him, and taught him to be a pirate. After the betrayal of Philippe, he had wandered the stars alone. until he met them. One by one, he gathered his loyal crew. Stoic and cool Joe. Wild and roguish Sanna, Sweet and smart Allie, quirky and clumsy Bones. They were his crew, his friends. And Philippe would pay for spilling their blood.

"Captain. We've found him!" Allie raced toward the Captain, who turned silently and stalked back into the ship.

"His ship is here, Captain." Bones pointed at a café name on the screen. "He comes here every day."
"Set sail to Café on the Lake." Crimzen ordered, sitting down on his Captain's chair.

"Excuse me, miss?" Philippe lightly grabbed the waitress' hand. "Another Cappuccino please, with extra foam." As he started to take a sip, his phone-like communicator to his ship beeped.

"Miss?" Philippe got the cute waitress' attention again. "Does this place have insurance?"

"Yeah, why?"

A Power Cutlass smashed through the window, impaling itself into the chair Philippe had just been sitting in. Crimzen stormed in, pausing only to retrieve his sword. "Get the civilians out." As his crew got the café's customers and staff out, Crimzen pulled out his blaster. Philippe responded by hitting him with a chair. The pirate ranger dropped his blaster, but instead clocked Philippe in the face. As the dark heart pirate went down, he launched a capoeira kick that struck Crimzen in the jaw knocking him down. The Captain hit the ground, rising up with an uppercut that dusted Philippe's chin. The Black Heart pirate hit the counter. As Crimzen leapt to grab his blaster, Philippe shot it farther away.

"This was completely pointless, Jackie." Philippe licked the blood off his own lip. " The keys are still in my ship. Come to the quarry and I'll give them to you."

"Why should I believe you?"

"Because I always honor my deals." Philippe responded. "Also because I haven't shot you yet."

Crimzen nodded his assent.

"Guys." Crimzen sat with the others. "It's me he wants. You don't have to go." He closed his eyes, remembering the beating his team endured. "You don't have to get hurt again."

"Captain. We are pirates. We get hurt." Joe reminded.

"We can take a few hits." Sanna grinned, revealing her chipped fang, a memento of the beating.

"And if you go alone, you won't make it back." Bones stood up, knocking over his chair in his excitement.

"The Squadron fights together." Allie stated simply.

Crimzen smiled at his crew. "Then let's go get the keys."

The Pirates approached the quarry. They were going to get those keys.

Philippe sat on a cliff, kicking his legs in glee. "You're here!" He waved to the pirates.

"Shut up and summon your hollow rangers, you piece of stako." Crimzen snarled. Philippe rolled his eyes and played his trumpet, summoning his 10 hollow rangers.

"Set Sail!" The rangers yelled as one.

The rangers suddenly stood on the deck of the Galaxy Galleon. They burst forward, before grabbing a rope and launching themselves high into the air on it. They let go at the Apex of his swing and their ranger suits materialized on their bodies. When they landed in a three point stance, the helmets appeared. The emblem on the helmet and chest glowed.

"Pirate Red." Crimzen stated, popping the collar of his suit.

"Pirate Blue." Joe pushed the front of his helmet in a manner reminiscent of the way he fixes his hair.

"Pirate Yellow!" Sanna yelled, then threw a peace sign salute at the monsters

"Pirate Green!" Bones excitedly ran his hands down his pants legs, as if to stop his legs from shaking.

"Pirate Pink!" Allie placed her hand over her heart and gave a slight bow.

"Power Rangers! Pirate Squadron!" They yelled as one, and Philippe could almost see the pirate flag waving behind them.

"Let's go crazy!" Crimzen roared, and the rangers unloaded their blasters on the ten hollow rangers before charging them. Crimzen fired at Solaris Knight, who blocked it with his cape and returned fire. Crimzen slashed through the blasts and dodged Gold Samurai's attacks. "C'mon, you can't even hit a one eyed man?" he asked, blocking the strikes with ease. Joe fought Robo-Knight and White Tiger, keeping them off him with precise blocks and dodges.
Bones dodged and rolled, evading Lunar Wolf and Silver space. Sanna fought the RPM twins giving and recieing slashes in record speeds. Allie faced off against Mercury and White Dino. barely avoiding them. Sanna received a mean cut, and rolled down the hill, landing where Allie fought. As the feline alien got hit and went down, her yellow clad friend kicked the attackers away and helped her friend to her feet. The two girls went back to back "Hey, Allie?" Sanna asked.
"Yeah?"
"Lovely Storm?"
"Lovely Storm." Allie leaped into the air, firing her blaster as Sanna spun low with her whip sword. The barrage assailed the hollow rangers, knocking down RPM Gold and Silver. Allie and Sanna followed it up by leaping and slashing Mercury and White Dino. Allie slashed across, then Sanna slashed diagonally. The Mercury and Dino rangers glowed and fell, returning to key form.

"Two down!" Sanna yelled, before the duo ran to face the RPM rangers.

Bones threw his blaster and sword into the air, before tying Lunar and Silver space with his grappling hook. Tying the rope to his own body, he attempted to retrieve the weapons, but the two hollow rangers pulled him away. Joe, seeing his friend's distress, jumped down. He slashed the the tied up rangers, knoicking them down long enough for Joe to grab his weapons. Joe and Bones opened fire on Robo-knight and White Tiger, knocking them back down. The blue and green pirates turned quicly, unleashing a chain of slashes on the Silver Space and Lunar Wolf rangers in perfect sync. The two hollow rangers fell, transforming back into keys. The two ran back up the cliff to attack White Tiger and Robo-Knight.

Crimzen blocked the strikes of Gold Samurai. As Solaris Knight threw a kick, Crimzen heard it coming and blocked it. The Red Rogue fired his blaster at Gold Samurai to send him spiraling away, then dodged a blast from Solaris Knight. Gold Samurai attacked, but Crimzen blocked it. Out of the corner of his good eye, Crimzen sensed something. Solaris Knight had launched a jump kick! Crimzen pulled Gold Samurai in front of him, letting him get hit by the kick instead. As Gold Samurai fell, Crimzen attacked Solaris Knight. He dodged all the magic blasts with ease, firing and slashing with his cutlass. As Solaris Knight was sent rolling away, Gold samurai attacked. Crimzen blocked the slash and shot Gold Samurai in the chest before unleashing a powerful slash on the samurai. Turning on his heel, Crimzen fired off another slash to Gold's back. Gold transformed into a key and Crimzen rushed toward Solaris Knight. The Knight fired, but Crimzen slashed through them all. He kicked Solaris Knight away, launching him far away. Crimzen fired his Flintlock Blaster, shooting the knight down.

The Pirate Rangers came together as the injured hollow rangers limped into a group. the Rangers activated their key slots on their weapons. The Pirates leveled their blasters at the hollow rangers.

"Final Crash!" They yelled, firing the blasters before launching an energy wave from their swords. The energy waves connected with the energy shots, creating a powerful attack that defeated the final 5 hollow rangers.

"And that's that." Crimzen declared.

"Where's Philippe?" Bones asked. The rangers looked around. The Dark Heart Pirate had vanished.

"15 new keys." Sanna nearly purred in delight. "So shiny."

" Guys, I'm sorry." Crimzen looked over his crew. "You got hurt because of me, bled because of me."

"What are you talking about, Captain?" Joe asked, a hint of a smile on his face/

"This isn't the first time we've gotten into a fight because of you." Sanna laughed, tousling Joe's hair. He rolled his eyes, but allowed it.

"We fight, steal and heal. Rinse and repeat." Bones sat down.

"That's what pirates do!" Allie finished.

Crimzen smiled. "Right. Alright, pirates. Get ready for the next adventure."

With the ship on autopilot, Philippe laughed to himself.

"Oh, Jackie. You may have set me back today, but..." He reached into his pockets, revealing more ranger keys. "I have more."

Ending theme: I thought I heard the Old Man say:

"Leave her, Johnny, leave her."

Tomorrow ye will get your pay,

and its time for us to leave her.

Leave her, Johnny, leave her!

Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her!

For the voyage is long and the winds don't blow

And it's time for us to leave her.

Oh, the wind was foul and the sea ran high

Leave her, Johnny, leave her!

She shipped it green and none went by.

And it's time for us to leave her

Leave her, Johnny, leave her!

Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her!

For the voyage is long and the winds don't blow

And it's time for us to leave her.

I hate to sail on this rotten tub.

"Leave her, Johnny, leave her!"

No grog allowed and rotten grub.

And it's time for us to leave her.

Leave her, Johnny, leave her!

Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her!

For the voyage is long and the winds don't blow

And it's time for us to leave her.

We swear by rote for want of more.

"Leave her, Johnny, leave her!"

But now were through so we'll go on shore.

And it's time for us to leave her
