As the three Gokai Pirates pulled up to the Marriot Hotel, Crystal handed her car keys to a valet and joined her friends at the entrance. Tommy had used the Gokai Galleon's Computers to hack in and manage to get them access to the event. Looking around, they head towards the convention hall where the martial arts tournament was being held. After checking in with the registration desk, they got some schedules of the events and huddled in the corner to get a feel for what's going on.
"Ok, so our best bet to get a hold of JDF is just after the self-esteem seminar. We'll hang out, practice some moves, learn some new tricks, eat some food and then talk to the guy." Kyle said. Tommy and Crystal looked and each other and chuckled.
"And after that we smack the Zangyack out of the Solar System and take over the world?" Tommy asked cheekily. Kyle smacked him in the back out the head and chuckled.
"If all goes well maybe we can get a couple different Ultimate Powers from Mr. David Frank, seeing as he was on different teams." Crystal said, earning her some nods from the others.
After that, they split up to go change for the competitions. They had all signed up for various activates that occurred throughout the day. Kyle had signed up for free sparring, Tommy was doing board breaking, and Crystal was doing sparring forms.
They each had varying degrees of martial arts training: Kyle had the most experience with a black belt in So Bak Do, as well as a red belt in Karate. Tommy didn't have much formal training, but he did have an orange belt in Karate from when he was younger, and Crystal had the least training, with a yellow belt in twi quan do.
Crystal's form sessions were first, and given it had been a while since she had done them , she did reasonably well, and even learned some tips on how to do some forms better then she had done.
Tommy's board breaking went great, with him breaking all three of his boards. The first board was a simple punch, second was a spin kick, and the third breaking was done with a jump spin back kick. He even decided to keep one of the boards he broke; in the hope he could get Jason David Frank to sign it later.
As Kyle got ready for free sparring, he did some stretches and warmed up. As he rolled his shoulders, he noticed Crystal waving her hand, trying to get his attention. Walking to her and Tommy, he leaned over and talked to her.
"I see your opponent, right over there. Big black guy and look who's standing next to him." Crystal said. Turning around, Kyle quickly spotted a large African American, pretty tall, maybe two years younger than him. Next to him was an attractive girl, about the same age as him who looked to be his friend. She seemed to have an Asian ancestry and black hair. Kyle turned to look at Crystal with amusement.
"Ok, she seems cute, but what's your point. Do you want me to try and set you up with her?" He asked. Crystal rolled her eyes and pointed to him again. Turning again, he looked to guys other side. To his surprise, the man standing next to and talking to him was Jason David Frank, the very man they had come here to meet.
"Well well….this is going to be very interesting." Kyle said as he walked to the center of the sparring space. His opponent also walked over and they both faced each other and bowed before taking a stance. The opponent, whose name was Deion, made the first move, a leg sweep. Instead of jumping over, or stepping away, Kyle stepped in and caught the leg at the knee and pushed it away. Deion recovered well, rolling away and replying with a jump kick, followed immediately by another kick that caught Kyle in the side. Kyle went with a punch to the ribs, which was blocked and blocked off a back elbow. Rolling away from another kick, he grinned over to Deion, who grinned back. They were both enjoying themselves with their sparring. They got close to each other and both go for right elbow strikes and left spin kicks.
After a few minutes of evenly matched the ref called for the match to end, but both of them were so focused on the other they didn't hear it and continued their spar, knocking each other down onto their backs with kicks. As they got up, people went over and held them back.
"Ok man; take a breath its break time." Tommy said with a laugh as the Asian chick calms down Deion. The referee disqualified both Kyle and Deion for not obeying him and not stopping the spar when told to. After the spar, the two walked over to each other and properly introduce themselves.
"Hey man, I'm Deion. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you to, I'm Kyle. These are my best friends Tommy and Crystal. You're pretty damn good." Kyle said as he shook hands with Deion.
"Thanks, you're not too shabby yourself. This is my best friend Daisy, and my mentor Jason David Frank." Deion said, introducing the Asian lady and the famous Ranger actor.
As they started to talk about the spar, there was the sounds of commotion from the front. Turning to see that was the reason, they saw Gormin pouring into the convention hall from the street. The three pirates look at each other. They couldn't morph without being seen and they didn't want to take the risk of leaving and people getting hurt.
"Mr. David Frank, help get these people to safety: we'll hold those things off!" Crystal said as she and her friends run to the gormin and began to fight them off. As she backhanded a gormin in the facemask she saw Deion and Daisy had followed them into the fight and that both of them were doing a great job of holding their own against the Zangyack goons.
Ducking under a swipe from a gormin club, Deion swept its leg out from under it and jumped away and over to Tommy.
"What the hell are the Gormin doing here?" He asked. Tommy glanced over at him and dealt a couple quick jabs to the midsection of another.
"You recognize these things?" The blue ranger asked.
"Yeah, the foot soldier from Gokaiger, love that Sentai." Deion said as he grabbed a dropped club and tossed it at a gormin.
Meanwhile on the other side of the hall Kyle, Crystal, and Daisy fought off the gormin effectively. As he double dropkicked a pair of goons away, Kyle noticed a sugomin coming up from behind Daisy and Crystal, and pulled out his Gokai Gun and opened fire causing it to retreat. A few minutes later even the hoards of gormin began to pull back in defeat.
Luckily aside from some bruises and cuts the people in the hall weren't hurt. After they made sure the gormin were gone, the group began to go around and check on people to make sure they were all ok.
"You guys did pretty damn good out there." Deion said to the others as he helped a man to his feet.
"You guys did great yourselves, how often do you have to fight like that?" Crystal asked as she helped a lady to a chair.
"First time honestly, but nothing to it. Need any help with that Kyle?" Daisy asked. Kyle was trying to talk to an elderly lady who was talking fast in a foreign language.
"Yes, do you know Spanish?" he asked. Daisy nodded and walked over, kneeling next to her speaking to her in Spanish.
"She wants to know where her grandson is. Can you guys look around for him?" Daisy asked them after a few moments.
"Yeah, of course. Ask her his name and what he looks like." Tommy said as he walked over to the group. Daisy nodded and asked her about her grandson. A few frantic words later, Daisy turned and looked at them.
"His name is Stephan and he's only 11 years old, red hair, tan. He's got karate uniform on with a yellow belt." The group nodded and spilt up looking around for the boy. After a few minutes of looking, Crystal's moribites began to ring. Glancing around, she pulled out the pirate cell phone and answered.
"What do you guys think about Deion as a ranger?" Kyle asked, talking to both his teammates.
"I like him. He knows Super Sentai, and can defiantly fight. His knowing JDF is a bonus." Tommy said.
"I haven't found Stephan yet, in case you're wondering." Crystal told them in mild annoyance.
"Whoa, we're still looking for him, but that's no reason not to multitask." Tommy told her, calming her down.
"Ok, I think Deion would make a good ranger. His friend Daisy isn't that bad either. She could make a pretty good pink ranger." Crystal said.
"Well it sounds like we have a consensus on Deion and Daisy is a maybe. So let's, wait, hold on a second." After a few seconds Kyle got back on the Moribites. "Good news guys just found Stephan. I'll take him back to his grandma, so you guys can all head back over."
A few minutes later they had regrouped at the hall and had reunited the lady with her grandson, much to her happiness. After they had accepted the thanks of the thankful grandmother, they grabbed Deion and pulled him off to the side.
"Ok, Deion. This is going to sound odd and unbelievable but it's all going to be true. You obviously recognized the Gormin so you know Super Sentai, and you can fight like hell. We're the Gokaiger, and we want you to be our Gokai Green." Kyle told him, having opted for a blunt approach.
Deion for his part took it well, he needed a whole thirty-five seconds before he started laughing. So they did the same thing with him that they did to convince Crystal that they were serious.
Gokaiger
Deion stopped laughing and slowly looked up, seeing three pirate sentai standing in front of him.
"Believe us now big man?" Crystal asked as they demoprhed. Deion shook his head and looked at them again.
"Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait. You aren't joking, you guys really are Gokaiger?"
Tommy held up his blue ranger and nodded.
"Yep, long story short we're trying to gather Ultimate Powers to help us fight off the Zangyack and we also need two rangers to round up our team." He explained to Deion. The big man scratched his neck and soon nodded.
"Ok, yeah. So what do you guys need from me?" Deion asked. Crystal reached into her bag and took out a moribites and a green ranger key, holding them out.
"The first thing we'd like from you would be to take these and join us." She told him. Deion nodded and reached out taking the items, looking at them. "We also need to talk to Jason David Frank. We think he has a collection of Ultimate Powers that will help us tremendously."
Deion nodded and put the Moribites and key in his pocket and lead the group over to the Ranger Legend, who was talking to Daisy.
"Sensei Frank, can we talk to you in private? These guys have something important to discuss with you." Deion told him. Jason David Frank turned around and looked at them, before nodding.
"Sure, come on let's go over here and talk." He said as they moved over to the corner. "So, what's so important?"
Kyle held up 5 ranger keys: DragonRanger, KibaRanger, OhRed, Red Racer, and AbareBlack, the five rangers who Jason David Frank portrayed in the show. Jason looked at the keys, then up at the group and nodded.
"So, I assume that you three are the Gokai Pirates I've been hearing about?" he asked. Tommy held up four fingers and pointed to Deion, who held up his new ranger key. Jason smiled at his student.
"So you joined this crew have you? Good choice. So, what do you need from me?" Crystal was about to answer when Tommy stopped her.
"If you don't mind we'd kind of like to introduce ourselves. I'm Tommy, blue ranger. This is Crystal, the yellow ranger. That's Kyle, our captain and red ranger. And you already know our green ranger, Deion." Rolling her eyes at Tommy, Crystal explained what it was they wanted.
"We'd like to know anything you can tell us about the Ultimate Powers." Crystal told him. He looked at them, gauging them before nodding again.
"Ok I'll tell you what I know, but it's not going to be as much as you might like. Earlier in the week I suddenly became aware of the Ultimate Powers, and shortly after that one of them, ZyuRanger, vanished. Someone gave it away to someone else, but I don't have a clue who did it or who got it."
The three pirates who walked in looked at each other, and then back to Jason.
"Only ZyuRanger's Power vanished? None of the others did, AbaRanger didn't vanish?" Kyle asked him. Jason shook his head.
"No, only ZyuRanger, I still have AbaRanger, why?" Kyle and Tommy both looked at each other. One of the theories they had was that ZyuRanger was given, along with TimeRanger and AbaRanger, to a Gokai Silver. But if AbaRanger's power hadn't been granted it's possible that something else might be going on.
"We've already talked to Amy Jo Johnson and she told us about how the ZyuRanger's powers had been given to someone else. So we still have a mystery on our hands. So, can you give us the Ultimate Powers you still have?" Kyle asked. Jason opened his mouth to answer when the Zangyack attacked again. Kyle turned and growled.
"These guys don't know when to quit. Come on, let's finish them off." The four ran over, flipped opens their Moribites and held out their ranger keys.
Gokai Change: Gokaiger
Drawing their weapons they ran at the Zangyack, working to send them into the streets and out of the way to the people still inside. After getting onto the street, they engaged the Gormin and discovered that there were not one, but two, action commanders: Zodomas and Buramudo.
Crystal and Deion exchanged weapons as Kyle and Crystal paired off to fight Zodomas while Tommy and Deion fought Buramudo.
Crystal used her dual swords to match Zodomas with Kyle backing her up with his own sword and even using his gun for the occasional edge in the fight, doing some damage to the action commander.
Buramudo used his guns to try and fight off Deion and Tommy, but Deion's duel guns and Tommy's gun/sword combo kept him from gaining too much ground.
"Tommy, catch!" Tommy glanced behind him and saw that Kyle had tossed his sword to him. Tossing his gun up and kicking it away, he spun around and caught the sword and used his duel swords to slice and slash at the gun wielding action commander. Soon, much to their surprise that he and his partner were losing, Buramudo escaped by teleporting away.
Realizing that his partner was gone, Zodomas tried to retreat as well, but was cut off when the other two pirates went over and kept him from concentrating enough to retreat.
As they considered what ranger keys had the best advantage in this situation, Kyle noticed that Jason had come outside and was watching them, pressed his thumb on his Gokai Buckle and took out a red ranger key and showed it to the others, who got his idea and took out the matching ranger keys.
"Mr. David Frank, you made a big impact on all our lives growing up. Why don't the four of us show you just how much respect we all have for you." The four moved together and held up the ranger keys, flipping them around and sliding them into the Moribites.
Gokai Change: CarRanger, DiaRanger, OhRanger, AbaRanger
Charging at the action commander, they used the unique attacks to battle the sword wielding monster. Kyle used Red Racer's high speed attacks to hit him before he could react, Tommy used KibaRanger's sword to deflect attacks away from Crystal who used OhRed to pummel Zodomas's midsection, and Deion dealt with the rest of the Gormin.
Holding up a Moribites and a ranger key, Deion, now AbareBlack turned to Jason David Frank.
"What do you thinks Sensei, want in?" Jason grinned and held out his hands, catching the tossed items.
"I think I can show you young kids how this should be done. It's Morphin' Time!" After sliding in the key to the Moribites and turning it, he held out the transformation device in a familiar fashion.
ZyuRanger
After changing into DragonRanger, Jason ran at Zodomas with the others stepping back to watch him in action. Seeing Jason David Frank, one of the most popular and famous Power Ranger actors ever, assume the power he was most known for was a feeling that could only be described in one phrase.
MASSIVE FANBOY SQUEE!
As the fight between DragonRanger and Zodomas went on, the action commander got the advantage by using his sword illusion technique to stun and hurt Jason. Snapped out of their fanboyness, the others got new rangers keys out and ran to help.
Gokai Change: Denziman, GoGoV, LiveMan, MagiRanger
When Zodomas turned around he found himself fending off an assault from DenziGreen, GoGreen, Green Sai, and Magi Green. After a Denzipunch and a Gi Magicka attack sent him flying back, the swords-alien got to his feet and faced the all green team. Summoning blade tendrils from his body, Zodomas tried a new strategy and attacked them with his body blades, but the team was able to fight them off.
Jason stood in front of the others and held out his arms, his dragon shield glowing.
"Kyle, you're the captain of this team, so let's see what you've got!" Kyle and nodded, jumping into the air as the dragon shield floated up. Once he touched it, he changed into Armored TyrannoRanger and charged at Zodomas, his Dino-Striker and Zyusouken ready. Full of adrenaline and wanting to impresses Jason, Kyle makes quick work of the action commander and finishes him off with a charged double strike.
Changing back, the five regrouped inside the hotel after the battle and started talking.
"Man that was great, I'm going to remember that fight forever, that was textbook epicness." Tommy said, laughing in excitement.
"It was pretty awesome. There's only one thing that you can do better, you need a new team member. And I have just the person in mind." Jason said, giving Deion a knowing look. The large African American grinned and nodded.
"Oh she'll like that idea." Deion said as they got up and went over to Jason's choice of a ranger.
Daisy looked up as Jason, Deion, and the others walked over to her. Jason smiled and held out the Moribites and a pink ranger key, which she gladly accepted, before stomping on Deion's foot.
"It's about time you asked me to help." Daisy said in mock anger. The group laughed and properly introduced themselves.
Daisy turned out to be an incredible choice for a pink ranger. She was part Japanese/ part Mexican and could fluently speak both languages, which would be a great asset when they went to Japan to find the other Sentai. She also happened to be as good as a martial artist as Deion was, so all five of them were great fighters and could hold their own against the Zangyack. As they discussed ideas for fighting off the Zangyack, they heard from the local news broadcast that the action commander who got away was back.
Standing up, the five headed out the back and were about to take off when Jason stopped them.
"I feel confident that you guys have Earth's safety well in hand. Remember, if you believe in yourselves, and the power you have inside you, you'll be able to keep fighting. And speaking of power, here's something that I think you should have."
With a nod, a "tding" sound came from the team's pockets, as the keys of the Sentai he had used in his Ranger career began to glow. He had given them the Ultimate Powers of DiaRanger, OhRanger, CarRanger, and AbaRanger.
"Deion, Daisy, good luck to both of you. And remember, all of you, you aren't alone. If you ever need help or advice, I'll do whatever I can." Smiling, the five ran off to confront Buramudo, for the first time as a team.
As the Triggerian threatened people in his attempt to bring the pirates out to fight him. However, as he pointed his gun at a group of children, he found a hail of musket balls flying at him. After blocking most of the shots, he growled and turned.
The five pirates walked towards to him, each one of the exuding confidences, Kyle was pointing his Gokai Gun at him, the barrel smoking. Flipping open their Moribites, they all took out their ranger keys.
"Ok guys, It's time."
Gokai Change: Gokaiger
Gokai Red
Gokai Blue
Gokai Yellow
Gokai Green
Gokai Pink
Pirate Sentai: Gokaiger
Drawing his saber, Kyle pointed it at Buramudo,
"First time with all five of us. Let's make this show super flashy." Charging their weapons, they charged at him, exchanging their weapons as they approach. Tommy and Crystal put him of the defensive with duel swords while Deion and Daisy fired at him with duel guns, and Kyle mixed and matched his sword and gun attacks.
The five of them worked extremely well together. When Buramudo tried to swing his gun around to fire at Daisy, Tommy slashed him in the back. When he turned to attack Tommy, Deion and Crystal had him covered with slashes and shots from their weapons. Daisy jumped up and kicked him towards Kyle, who punched him in the face with the handle of his sword and pointed his gun in the action commander's midsection, pulling the trigger repeatedly.
Watching Buramudo go flying, rolling down the street, the group popped open their Gokai Cylinders sliding both their Gokai Keys and the Gorenger keys into their weapons, pushing the cylinders together to close them.
Final Wave Gokai Scramble
The combined attacks flew towards him and slammed into him, sparks and energy flying around as Buramudo collapsed on his face and exploded.
As the Gokaiger congratulated themselves on a good fight, a pair of purple energy beams shot down out of the sky, causing both the action commanders to grow. Running back to avoid the massive feet of Buramudo, they regrouped and assessed the situation.
"Hey, we have all five of us now. Can we haul out the big guns now?" Crystal asked as Kyle pulled out his Moribites, dialing a set of numbers, as the giant red pirate ship appeared, heading towards them, dropping five lines to bring them up. Turning and jumping, they all grabbed the cables and were pulled up to the Galleon. Kyle immediately ran to the bridge while the others ran to their Gokai Vehicles and as the Galleon flew in the air, ejecting the Vehicles out of its back like a Matryoshka doll, before they began to shift and change.
"Pirate Combination!
GokaiOh Ready!"
The Pirate Robo landed on the ground and drew its swords and charged at the giant monsters, ducking under one of Zodomas's sword and striking Barumudo in the chest, before the Gokaiger spun their wheels around and blocked a sword strike, but were hit in the back. The numbers advantage was making things difficult, they were holding their own but they couldn't finish things off.
"We're going to be in trouble soon. We need something with bang." Daisy said as she turned her wheel, kicking Barumudo away.
"She's right, let's pull something out." Tommy said. Kyle nodded and grabbed his Gokaiger Key, sliding it in the wheel and turning it. The wheel on GokaiOh's back spun, and the hatches opened, with the cannon coming out of its chest, cannonballs lining the arms and legs.
Gokai Starburst: Fire!
Zodomas jumped out of the way, and Barumudo took the blows, destroying him. They turned to fire on Zodomas, but were attacked by the sword tendrils and forced back on the defensive. They drew their swords again and began to have a sword battle, trying to get the upper hand, but the sword tendrils made things difficult.
"We need to hit this guy big and end this before someone gets hurt." Crystal said, holding up her CarRanger Key. The others followed suit, all sliding them in their wheels and turning them, using the CarRanger Ultimate Power.
Gokai Radical Racing Slash!
Charging at Zodomas, they started spinning at high speeds and struck the finishing blow, destroying the swordsman once and for all. Looking around, they confirmed that the action commanders had both been defeated, and the GokaiOh jumped in the sky, changing back into the Gokai Galleon and sailing away.
The five pirates stood on the main deck, enjoying the euphoria of their victory. Kyle opened the Gokai Treanger chest and took out some keys, smiling as they glowed, showing them to his crew.
"We've got four. Not bad for a day's work, but we still have 29 to go, assuming no more Ultimate Powers go missing. We need to find the actors who held the roles of Power Rangers or Super Sentai, that's how we get them. We don't have Navi, we don't have any back up, and it's just us. We're a crew; we don't do the impossible here: we just get the others backs and do what we can. The world is on our shoulders, but I'm sure we can do this." He told them. They all smiled and nodded, they knew this wouldn't be easy, but they had a sense of optimism about everything.
Putting the keys back in the chest and closing it, he sat down in the captain's chair as Tommy and Daisy went to the computer, trying to figure out the next place to look for a Ultimate Power. Crystal got a cheeky grin on her face and looked at Deion.
"So Doc, what's for dinner?" she asked him. Deion looked at her confused.
"What do you mean?" The others all grinned, getting her idea.
"She's right man, your Gokai green, so you have to do all the cooking and cleaning and whatever else needs to be done." Daisy said.
"That's not right man." Deion protested. The others soon chipped in on all the stuff that he should do, but soon broke down laughing, with Kyle and Deion heading to the galley to cook dinner. Crystal smiled as she looked around from her couch. This strange adventure might be worth all the hassle after all.
And so ends Chapter four, the Jason David Frank tribute, and introduces the Green and Pink Rangers. As I said, 50% of credit from here on out goes to Koolken256 for his input.
