ENJOY!
"Attention everyone!" Ben announced after the rest of his friends had teleported to the Command Centre. He put up a white screen and a projector in front of five chairs. He was also holding onto five thick books and was standing in front of the screen like a teacher.
"Why are we here again?" Dylan asked them.
"Ben wants us to learn more about the Power Ranger teams on Earth so we'd know more about their powers and history," Troy answered in a bored tone.
"Why does he want to torture us?" Lexi asked sarcastically.
"It's so we would have an easier time understanding Navi when he's giving prophecies," Blair replied back to her.
"Oh fun…" Lexi responded.
"Be nice. Ben is trying his best to help all of us. You guys kept saying how he should be a real pirate. He's just trying to be part of the crew," Johnny told them before he and Blair walked up to Ben and sat on the chairs in front of the screen. While Ben is distributing the books, Blair turned back to look at the rest of her friends who hadn't moved from where they were standing.
She raised an eyebrow on the three and asked rhetorically, "Are you just going to stand there all day?"
The three of them sighed heavily and caved in. Lexi took the seat next to Johnny while Troy sat in the middle of Blair and Dylan. All of them held the thick encyclopedias which were titled, The Guide to Power Rangers. It had some pictures of several Power Rangers and Megazords on the cover to which made Troy wonder how Ben got the pictures in the first place.
After they have settled, Ben pressed the little remote in his hand and the white screen starts showing a slide show which had the same title as the encyclopedia. He then turned to the rest like a serious teacher.
"Now that everyone is present, we shall begin," Ben started. "The origin of Power Rangers on Earth has been relatively unknown to anyone that still lives. The benefit of being a Power Ranger is a privilege that one must be proud of because you don't choose to be a ranger. It chooses you."
"That's not true. Troy chose us to become rangers," Lexi interrupted.
"Does that mean I'm the 'it' that chooses these guys? I feel like a God," Troy said.
Lexi rolled her eyes, "Get over yourself, Troy."
"Guys, let Ben continue," Dylan said to them in an irritated tone.
"Thank you," Ben responded and got into character again. "As I was saying, you don't choose to be a Power Ranger, it chooses you. All of you were chosen to be rangers because all of you possess a certain quality that makes you qualified to be one."
Ben stopped talking when he saw Dylan raising his hand, "Yes?"
"Not that this is boring or anything but can you please cut to the chase?" Dylan asked him.
"Alright then," Ben replied in a deep voice and continued on. "In order for us to retrieve the greatest treasure of the universe, we need to gather all of the powers from the ranger teams of Earth." He then clicked on the remote in his hand, "So far, we have gathered the grand powers from Samurai team, Mystic Force, Lost Galaxy team, S.P.D team, Space ranger team, Lightspeed Recue team and the ranger team from an alternate dimension, RPM. Not forgetting the grand powers that I was entrusted with: Time Force, Dino Thunder and lastly the one and only Mighty Morphin' team. Also not forgetting the sixteen grand powers that all of you received from the Power Ranger teams that had fought in the Legendary War."
"Wow… we did a lot of work," Lexi commented after counting all of the grand powers they had collected altogether.
"I can't believe how far we've gone since the beginning. Looking back, we had tons of adventure," Blair said.
"If all of you are counting, we need eight more grand powers for us to retrieve the greatest treasure of the universe," Ben continued. "Those teams are Zeo, Turbo, Wild Force, Ninja Storm, Operation Overdrive, and Jungle Fury."
"Let's also not forget the team that Boze stole; the Jungle Fury team," Troy reminded him.
"That's right. I still don't get how he got it though," Johnny said.
"Speaking of him, he still has some ranger keys he found and not to mention his new allies the Psycho Rangers," Blair added.
"Moving on, I will start explaining all the powers of each and every one of the Power Ranger teams. I will go at random so better pay close attention because there will be a test about this," Ben announced.
"Test?" Lexi exclaimed.
"Are you crazy?" Dylan questioned him.
"Guys, this will only make us a better fighter," Johnny debated.
"Thank you Johnny," Ben responded and continued on and on in his explanation. While Blair and Johnny were paying attention, Troy, Dylan and Lexi were quickly losing interest. Troy tried his best to pay his fullest attention but he knew that if he sits there any longer, he's going to die of boredom.
After half an hour of talking, the three of them couldn't take it anymore. Troy, Lexi and Dylan exchanged looks to ditch the meeting without anyone knowing. As Ben continued talking, the three of them slowly move their chairs backwards so they don't look too suspicious. As soon as Ben turned his back on them, the three of them clicked on their teleporters and teleported out of the Command Centre. Johnny and Blair noticed them teleporting but remained quiet. Ben then turned around in time to see that three of five of his friends are gone.
"Where are the rest?" he asked them.
"They teleported out of here," Blair replied.
Ben then started pouting, "I knew I should've have confiscate all electronic devices and that including the teleporters. Well then, I guess I know who's getting an F."
Johnny and Blair exchanged weird looks after Ben made the sentence. Is he more upset that his friends rudely ditch him or the fact that they're going to fail his test?
Back in space, Damaras, Insarn and Barizorg were waiting for the arrival of their Emperor who had just healed from his illness. At the moment, he was not in the mood for anything and at first refused to meet any new action commanders. But after Damaras had constantly insisted, Walz Gill decided to give in and meet this new Action Commander that is said to be highly impressive.
As he entered his office, three of his most trusted advisors are already there and he took his seat at his throne.
"Alright Damaras, who is this action commander that you must insist I meet?" Walz Gill asked him.
"Before I let him in, my Emperor, I shall explain to who are the two new recruits are. These two are sons of highly evil space ninjas. Their names are Vexacus Jr. and Shimazu Jr.," Damaras explained.
"Did you say space ninjas?" Walz Gill inquired. Before Damaras could respond, Vexacus Jr. appeared right beside Walz Gill, scaring him out of his seat.
"I believe he indeed say space ninjas, my Emperor," said Vexacus Jr.
Walz Gill who was hiding behind Barizorg immediately took his stand and showed him who's boss, "Never sneak up on me again!" he ordered.
"My apologies," Vexacus Jr. said as he bowed before the Emperor in front of him.
"So where's the other one?" Walz Gill asked.
"I'm right here!" said an annoying scratchy voice. Suddenly, Insarn felt someone lifting her up and before she knew it, she was floating. Seconds later, a figure appeared under her and she forced herself out of his grip.
"You must be 'the other one'," Insarn said coldly.
"The name's Shimazu Jr. Perhaps you're familiar with my father. I know I'm not since he was banished into the Abyss of Evil. But let's not get too personal for now," he introduced himself.
"No, I have not heard about your father's whereabouts however I am familiar with the Abyss of Evil. I heard it is such a tragic place. You better do your job or else you'll end up just like your father," Insarn responded back to him.
"So the both of you are just mainly space ninjas. What else can you do?" Walz Gill inquired.
"My Emperor, Vexacus Jr. is also known as a bounty hunter whom I know will serve quite well in this mission. He was the one who insisted on hiring Shimazu Jr. as well," Damaras explained.
"Bounty hunter huh. I guess this means you'll be expected to get double the pay," Walz Gill commented.
"If it's your wish my Emperor," Vexacus Jr. insisted.
"Alright, since you want this job so much, do as you wish on Earth as long as you cause pain to the Earthlings and banish those no good Pirate rangers once and for all," Walz Gill replied.
"Very well, my Emperor," Vexacus and Shimazu Jr. responded at the same time.
Back on Earth, Troy, Dylan and Lexi were out having ice-cream after escaping from the boring lesson slash meeting that Ben was put in charge of.
"I feel kind of bad for leaving like that," Lexi said.
"He knows we have short attention span. He would at least consider making it fun or something," Dylan said.
"But Lexi is right; maybe we shouldn't have ditched them like that. I mean, he did go all that trouble on making those encyclopedias. The least we could do is read it. We all know how committed Ben is to being a ranger," Troy said.
"Yeah but he needs to learn that we're not in the military. We don't need to attend 'workshops' to be better at our jobs," Lexi responded.
"Maybe it's wise if we at least go back," Dylan suggested and Troy and Lexi agreed.
Before they could click on their teleporters, they heard some screaming nearby and immediately ran towards the scene of the crime. The last thing they saw was a woman screaming and then turning into small brown object. In fact, those brown objects are everywhere in their area. Something was definitely up.
Lexi ran and picked up a brown object near her and examined it, "It's a chestnut. A giant chestnut."
"And did that woman really turn into a chestnut?" Troy inquired.
Suddenly, someone jumped out of nowhere and started picking up those chestnuts in full speed. Luckily, Lexi held onto the chestnut that she grabbed before the person could take it away from her. When that person stopped, the three pirates saw an alien in a flashy outfit stopped in front of them.
"Why do I get the feeling that you're responsible for this?" Dylan questioned him.
"You three must be the pirates the Emperor mentioned about," said the alien.
"Looks like our reputation precedes us," Lexi responded.
"Cute little girl. I am Shimazu Jr.," he replied.
"We don't need to know your name. We're going to defeat you anyway," Troy said as he took out his ranger key and mobirate. Lexi and Dylan did the same and they morphed together.
"IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!" they called out.
When they were going for the attack, someone else blocked them and threw them to the ground. This person basically looks like a shark. "Sorry for the interruption. I am Vexacus Jr. and you are going to bring me all the money we need."
"How typical, a ruthless bounty hunter," Lexi commented.
"Let's try these," Troy said, taking out a red RPM ranger key and the two followed.
"IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!" they called out and took out their new weapons.
All of them then speed their way to attack Shimazu and Vexacus Jr. with their Nitro Blasters. However, Shimazu and Vexacus Jr. were still too quick for them to catch. The three pirates gathered then morphed into the Jungle Fury rangers and tried to use their spirit animal tactic to get the two space ninjas but to no avail.
"These guys are good. It's been awhile since we had a challenge," Dylan said.
"Stop being so impressed!" Lexi scolded him.
"Let's use Dino Thunder now," Troy suggested while taking out a red Dino Thunder ranger key from his belt buckle and they all morphed into the Dino rangers. They then combined all their weapons together to form the Z-Rex Blaster. After firing at the two space ninjas, they formed a shield which made their attack bounce from the shield and back at them. Luckily, the three managed to dodge it in time.
Seconds later, Johnny, Blair and Ben finally arrives in their Pirate suits and helped their friends up.
"Are you guys ok?" Ben asked them. The red, blue and yellow didn't look like they wanted to answer his question as he heard them growl in anger.
"Oh goodie, it's the rest of the pirate rangers," said Shimazu Jr.
"We'll let you six go for now. But be sure that next time, we won't go soft on you," Vexacus Jr. told them before disappearing along with Shimazu Jr.
"No! They got away!" Lexi whined while throwing all her frustrations on Johnny's neck.
"Who are those two and what happened?" Blair asked the three of them.
Troy got up to his feet and pushed Lexi away from Johnny, "We'll talk about it later. Come on," was all he replied and walked away angrily.
Deep in the mountains of Blue Bay Harbor lies a secret ninja school which was now under the hands of Cameron Watanabe; also known as Cam. It wasn't that long ago when Cam's father decided to hand over Wind Ninja Academy over to his son after deciding that it was time for him to retire. Cam did his best to fill in his father's shoes and make sure that everything is going well and normal. Unfortunately that morning, his father had sense something was going on and informed Cam immediately. Cam then contacted the three original Wind rangers to meet him at the academy. Thankfully, the three of them agreed to meet him even though they are now living their normal lives.
Shane, Tori and Dustin were the well known as the underdogs of Wind Ninja Academy who were chosen to be the Wind rangers and eventually becoming a sensei after Lothor was defeated. They were still sensei for the academy but were not as frequent as they were used to due to having other commitments. The three of them arrived at the academy later that day and met up with Cam in their secret underground headquarters.
"Cam?" Tori called for him as they entered the room.
Cam appeared immediately and invited all of them in. "Hey guys. Thanks for coming on such short notice," he greeted.
"No problem, brother. It has been almost a year since we last seen each other so it's all good," Dustin responded. Cam smiled at the fact that Dustin is still the same old Dustin.
"What seems to be the problem? You sounded worried over the phone when you contacted us," Shane asked him.
"I'm afraid the problem now is regarding the Zangyack Empire. They're back and are trying to take over once again," Cam explained.
"I heard there was a new team of rangers that's taking care of those freaks. I don't mean to sound arrogant but isn't it their job now?" Dustin inquired.
"I'm afraid there is a catch to that problem. Earlier, two space ninjas had showed up at Oakville Heights and unfortunately three of the six new rangers weren't match for the two. The two space ninjas called themselves, Shimazu Jr. and Vexacus Jr.," Cam continued explaining.
"Junior? Since when did Shimazu and Vexacus had the time to have sons? They have been in the Abyss of Evil," Tori questioned him.
"Well somehow Shimazu and Vexacus did manage to have sons without our knowledge and it looks like they are just as ruthless as their fathers. My father thinks that the only way for them to be defeated is if you three fight those space ninja. After all, it takes a ninja to fight a ninja," Cam responded.
"So you want us to get back into action and fight those two, right?" Dustin inquired after getting lost in the train of words Cam had just spoken.
"We can't fight them without our ranger powers. We sacrificed them last year to fight the Zangyack Empire," Tori said.
"Well unless Cam kept extra wind morphers for emergencies," Shane said.
"The emergency wind morphers were already used last year for the battle with the Zangyack. Making another one would take years. I thought about this long and hard and the only possible way for you guys to get your powers back to ask the Pirate rangers for it since they have it," Cam informed them. "However considering they are pirates, perhaps they would like if you make a fair trade with them."
"What kind of trade?" Shane asked him.
"They will going to need our grand power in order for them the retrieve the greatest treasure of the universe," Cam answered back.
"Grand power?" repeated Shane, Dustin and Tori in unison.
After arriving back at the Command Centre and after putting the bandages around their wounds, Troy, Dylan and Lexi started explaining who were those Zangyacks that had beaten them. The three of them were still not ready to accept defeat and were already pumped up to meet up with Vexacus Jr. and Shimazu Jr.
"Did you say their names were Vexacus and Shimazu Jr.?" Ben inquired and the three of them nodded.
"Do you anything about them?" Blair asked him.
"Vexacus and Shimazu, which I infer is their fathers, were defeated by the Ninja Storm rangers and were sent into the Abyss of Evil. It's so hard to believe that they had sons though. Now that the Abyss of Evil is completely shield, there is no way anyone can get in or out of it," Ben explained.
"It doesn't matter about whether or not they were in that Abyss of Evil or not. What matters is that we get rid of those goons once and for all," Troy stated.
"Troy, I know the three of you are mad at the moment but we should think this one through. They are space ninjas. Ninjas are like magicians. They have a lot of tricks under their sleeves. We should discuss the possibilities of that," Johnny told him.
"We don't have time for discussions. They're going to be back and when they do, we're going to be ready for them," Dylan said.
"Ninjas are no match for pirates," Lexi stated.
Just as expected, the alarm went off and Shimazu Jr. and Vexacus Jr. were found somewhere in a basement of a building where they were putting the chestnuts into some sort of machine.
"What are they doing with those people?" Blair wondered as she watches the viewing globe in horror.
"They're making a missile and are using the chestnuts as fuel," Navi explained after processing the information.
"That's horrible!" Blair responded.
"I can't believe they're still using the missile plan again," Johnny said.
Without hesitation, Troy, Dylan and Lexi teleported first and Johnny, Blair and Ben followed soon after. All of them crashed from the ceiling to stop the two evil space ninjas.
"You again," Vexacus Jr. said.
"Sorry to spoil to your fun," Troy said sarcastically before all of them fired their gun blasters at the both of them to which they manage to dodge.
While the five main pirates are fighting the space ninjas, Ben tried to save the chestnuts that were already placed in the cockpit of the missile and put them in a bag so they will be safe. While Troy, Dylan and Lexi are fighting the two space ninjas, Johnny and Blair went on to destroy the missiles successfully.
After that, Troy, Dylan and Lexi brought the battle outside of the building and into the back lot to finish them off. By this time, Ben was already holding on to the bag of chestnuts of people.
"You really made us a fool of ourselves," Lexi said to Vexacus Jr. before kicking him to a wall.
"Allow me to thank you for that," Dylan said before slashing him with the two Pirate Sabers.
Vexacus Jr. was then thrown where Shimazu Jr. is and the Pirates gathered to execute their full power mode together. After Johnny, Blair and Ben shot them in full power, Shimazu changed places with Johnny and Blair and before the two of them know it, they were being slashed hardly by Troy, Dylan and Lexi.
Ben was surprised by the move himself and realized that Shimazu Jr. and Vexacus Jr. were at his side without him knowing and snatched the bag away from him. Before he could fight back, Shimazu Jr. threw him out of the way. When all the Pirates recovered and gathered together, Shimazu Jr. opened a wormhole from where the rangers were standing. Before getting sucked in, Troy, Dylan and Lexi managed to push Johnny, Blair and Ben out of the way before they get sucked in too.
"Darn it! I was expecting all of you to get in," Shimazu Jr. whined.
"It doesn't matter much anymore. We have more than enough. Since you six destroyed our missiles, consider this as a trade," Vexacus Jr. said.
"What have you done with them?" Ben questioned them.
"That is confidential, I'm afraid. I'll catch you on the flip side. Don't worry Vex, you won't get lonely," Shimazu Jr. said before disappearing into the wormhole himself while releasing some unfamiliar foot soldiers out of the wormhole.
"What are those?" Johnny asked no one in particular.
"Kelzaks?" Ben exclaimed but quickly fought with them once he recognizes them.
Vexacus Jr. then turned himself into a giant all by himself. "Ben, you take care of Vexacus Jr. We'll take it from here," Blair said to him.
"Ok," Ben responded and summoned the T-Hex Megazord. Vexacus Jr. was apparently too strong for Ben to fight by himself. The T-Hex Megazord was then shoved to a building and Vexacus Jr. was close to alienating Ben when something appeared out of the blue and used blades to attack Vexacus Jr. The thing looks a type of zord but smaller than the average type of zord. Even Blair and Johnny were surprised by the appearance.
The tiny zord went on to continue throwing blades at Vexacus Jr. until he was tied up and Ben used the triple drill power of his T-Hex Megazord to finally defeat Vexacus once and for all.
"Yes! We did it!" Ben celebrated.
"Farewell for now," the tiny zord said as it disappeared to the sky.
Below, Johnny and Blair were still struggling trying to defeat the Kelzaks. While fighting the Kelzaks, three people jumped in and fought the new group of foot soldiers for the two. After they were done, the three of them turned around so Johnny and Blair would see their faces.
Both Johnny and Blair morphed down. "Who are you?" Blair asked.
"We're the Wind rangers of Power Rangers Ninja Storm. I'm Shane," said the one in red.
"I'm Tori," the girl in blue introduced herself.
"I'm Dustin," introduced the guy in yellow.
Before neither Johnny nor Blair could respond, Ben ran in from behind them and greeted the three of them excitedly. Amazingly enough, the three Wind rangers looked rather amused than irritated by Ben's sudden presence. Johnny had to pull him away from the three so they could talk more.
"What are you guys doing here? If you don't mind me asking," Blair asked politely.
"We were told that Vexacus Jr. and Shimazu Jr. joined forces with the Zangyack Empire and we decided to come and help," Dustin explained.
"Even though you manage to defeat Vexacus Jr., there is still Shimazu Jr. If Shimazu Jr. is anything like his father like Vexacus Jr. is, we're in big trouble," Tori added.
"To tell you honestly, none of you three are strong enough to fight Shimazu Jr.," Shane said to them.
"Then what would you want us to do then?" Johnny asked them.
The three of the Wind rangers turned to one another in agreement before Shane responded, "We're going to give you our grand powers but only after you give us our ranger powers back."
"Your ranger powers back?" Ben exclaimed.
"Furthermore, we don't think we can entrust you with our grand powers just yet," Shane said.
"Why not?" Blair asked.
"We just don't trust you pirates. Your friends like to rush in. A thing about being Power Rangers is to always think ahead," Tori said.
"But-"
"Time is ticking. We need our powers now if you want your friends back," Shane interrupted her.
"NO!" Ben exclaimed at them. "We're not going to give it to you."
PLEASE REVIEW!
P.S. Would you like it if Hunter and Blake came back as well?
