Well, here's the crossover episode though, unfortunately, none of the Rangers will be meeting Ex-Aid. And also, a special birthday chapter to celebrate Power Rangers. I did consider possibly having Jason stay with Lucky to meet Emu, but watching the episode, I thought it would be better to have him help Champ cause it's better to have more then one set of hands while lowering someone. By the way, the day this episode aired, March 26th, is my brother's birthday so I kinda like this one.
Thanks to all who had favorited and followed the story or me.
Disclaimer, I don't own any of this. Uchu Sentai Kyuranger belongs to Shotaro Ishinomori and Toei TV, Power Rangers belongs to Hasbro. I only own the idea, the story, changes to the episodes, and just some merch of both series.
Chapter 7 – Take Back the Birthday
Zack stretched and breathed, looking as Stinger finally came onboard the Orion and showed the group footage of a fight he had with two assassins from Jark Matter, one being based on a octopus and the other being a kraken.
"These are the assassins sent by Jark Matter." He said.
Seeing the footage, Shou seemed to recognize them, saying their names, "Ikaagen and Madako."
"Do you know them, Commander?" Trini asked.
"Yes." Shou said. "At Shogun Don Armage's orders, that wicked dou has destroyed over 1000 planets. If you see them, you should run away. So this is the operations for today."
"Look at this." Raptor said, changing the screen to show a new governor monster stealing the birthday of a young boy.
Jason raised a eye brow, "This governor…. Steals birthdays?"
"So children who have their birthdays stolen can't celebrate it?" Billy wondered.
"How cruel!" Garu said. "I'll punish him!"
"Governor To-Me doesn't go outside expect when he's stealing a birthday." Raptor explained.
"I just had a shocking idea!" Shou said, standing up. "What if we lure out with someone having a birthday?"
"Okay, but what are the chances of finding someone who has- " Kimberly started, before they heard the door open. As if on cue, Balance came into the bridge, shouting, "Happy birthday to me! Today's my birthday! I'm counting on you for presents, everybody!"
Everyone was quiet, trying to figure out the odd that they just happen to find the bait they needed for the mission. But realizing that they had their bait, Shou quickly did the Kyulette with Lucky, Naga, Balance, Hammy, Stinger, Zack, and Kimberly being picked to go.
Suddenly realizing he had no idea what was going on, Balance said, "What were you talking about?"
"Birthday?" Naga asked. But the deployed team headed out, explaining the mission to Balance and Zack felt for the Gold Ranger as he had a mission on his birthday on top of thinking that his friends had forgotten his birthday only to get a surprise party later.
Walking through the area, Balance was dragged by Lucky and Hammy and he whined as he walked.
"Aww, I don't want to participate in that plan!" He cried. "What if my birthday gets stolen?!"
"I swear to protect you, Balance." Lucky said.
Zack laughed and said, "It's going to be okay, Balance. We'll make sure your birthday doesn't get stolen. Don't worry."
While they walked, Kimberly looked at Naga and noticed how quiet he was.
"Naga, what's wrong?" She asked.
"Balance, what is a birthday?" He asked his partner.
"What?" Lucky asked. "You don't know what a birthday is?"
"With what his race did to their emotions," Kimberly said. "I wouldn't be surprised if they got rid of birthdays too."
"What do you expect from Naga?" Balance said. "Just imagine it."
He imagined as they celebrated, he would angrily shout 'Happy Birthday', making Zack and Kimberly sweatdrop, not sure if that would actually happen.
Balance sighed, "It'll just be like he's angry at me."
They saw a child crying and guessing he was one of the victims of the governor stealing birthdays, Lucky went to comfort him and Hammy explained to Naga.
"A birthday is a day where people celebrate the day you were born and you feel incredibly happy." She explained.
"And you enjoy the bond that you share your friends and family because you were born to be with them." Kimberly said, as a mother appeared with some presents to give her child but they disappeared.
Zack looked concerned, "This is getting troublesome."
Setting up a false birthday celebration with Balance, the group watched from a distance and Naga actually sounded concerned as he watched.
"If Balance sits there then his birthday won't be taken?" He asked.
"No, he's bait." Hammy said.
"Yeah, if we can lure that governor to Balance, we can Galaxy him away and get all the birthdays back!" Kimberly said.
Zack laughed, "But who knows how strong he'll be."
"It would be a pity if he had it taken." Naga said, not liking the plan. "I will save him!"
"No, Naga!" Kimberly cried, watching him run to Balance. Suddenly the governor appeared and everyone ran out, transforming, surprising him and they all fought. Naga tried to use his paralyze stare but Ikaagan and Madako appeared with Tommy, still wearing his mask.
"Just the people I wanted to see, Kyurangers." Ikaagen said. "And the two with you must be part of your comrades."
"I'm your opponent, you takos!" Madako shouted.
"Watch out," Stinger warned. "They're not like the others."
"My name is Madako." Madako said, looking at them. "Remember that!"
"My name is Ikaagen." Ikaagen said. "Have you said your prayers?!"
Before they could fight, Shou called, "You must not fight them! Run!"
However, the trio hopped from the stairwell they were in and attacked, Tommy sent a power slash to Zack who dodged and fired at him with his Power Axe. Kimberly fired a arrow at him but he dodged and swung his katana, the dragons from his blade appearing to attack her. She used her bow to block, stepping back before slashing them. While the others fought the assassins, Balance saved Naga from a attack, which broke his stare.
Being freed, the governor used his beam on Balance, taking his birthday then left. Shou sternly commanded the group retreat and they did, Tommy scoffed, sheathing his katana.
"Commander.." Trini said, looking at Shou.
"Thank goodness no one was hurt." Shou said, "At least we can all celebrate Balance's birthday."
Soon, everyone prepared the bridge for the birthday party, the three Rangers on the Orion felt it was similar to how they prepared for Zack's birthday. Not long after, the deployed team arrived on the bridge and saw the decorations.
Everyone smiled but suddenly everything disappeared, causing a gasp from everyone. However, Balance tried to wave it off, leaving the bridge.
"This is so cruel." Kimberly said, pouting.
"It was wasted…." Naga said, looking down.
"We won't let it go to waste." Lucky said. "Lets go get the birthday back."
"Balance said he does not care." Naga said, looking at them.
"Naga…." Kimberly said.
"He was just faking." Hammy told him. "He's actually hurting."
"Is that so?" Naga said, surprised. "Emotion are complicated!"
"Naga, do you remember seeing that child's mother who also looked sad?" Kimberly asked. Naga looked at her, she said, "Birthdays aren't just for the people who are born on that day. The people who celebrate with them also feel joy in celebrate with them. Happy to know that person was born to meet them."
"I too…. Wish to celebrate Balance's birthday." Naga said, softly.
"Let's take back the birthdays!" Lucky shouted. "For the children and for balance!"
With that, everyone formulated a plan, Kimberly stayed on the Orion, looking at a map of the building where the governor was in with Raptor, Raptor said, "I presume there will be many traps on the way to the treasure room. I think our best bet is an infiltration through the air vent in the roof."
"However, we will need stop the giant propeller first." Kimberly said. "And it looks like it can only be done from inside."
"Lucky and I will draw away the enemy." Stinger said, saying part of the plan. "Hammy and Trini will sneak inside to stop the propeller. Then Naga and Zack will break in. Jason, Billy, and Champ will provide Naga and Zack with support."
"I don't want to take orders from you…" Champ grumbled. "But this is for Balance!"
"Spada, Kimberly, and Garu will prepare for the birthday party." Stinger continued.
"We're making it from scratch." Spada added. "Same for the kids."
So the operation started, Trini, Hammy, Stinger, and Trini transforming and running to face the Indavers, Hammy and Trini went on ahead while Stinger and Lucky fought them. Meanwhile Champ, Jason, Billy, Zack, and Naga landed on the roof and headed for the vent, Balance was awed when he saw what everyone was doing to help take back the birthdays.
Reaching the room to control the propeller, Hammy and Trini nodded at each other. Hammy used the Aries Kyutama and knocked out the Indaver at the door, putting it to sleep. Then they headed into the room, finding the switch while Zack and Naga were ready to jump into the treasure room, causing Naga to jump early.
But before Trini and Hammy could pull the switch, they were attacked by Indavers. Billy, Jason, and Champ had to stop Zack and Naga from hitting the propellers while the two girls fought. To further add to the problems, Indavers began to appear where the boys were, they fired at them. Stinger joined the girls and covered them as they pulled the switch, stopping the propeller.
So Naga and Zack made down to the treasure room, grabbing the container of birthdays and were quickly back up where the two slashed at the container and freed the birthdays, having them go back to their respective holder, including Balance.
Seeing it on the Orion, Kimberly said, "Alright!"
Balance went down to take Champ's place and the group combined their abilities, striking the governor together as a team, beating him with combined strikes, with Lucky calling it their birthday presents to him. Then the Kyurangers summoned their Megazord and destroyed the governor along with the Moramiar.
Once everyone returned to the Orion, there was a happy collective shout, "Happy birthday, Balance!"
So Balance turned around and turned to see Naga dressed as a present. Kimberly smiled as Balance was shocked, but also flattered as he was happy to see Naga trying his best.
When asked how old he was, Balane happily said, "I'm 300 years old now!"
Everyone was surprised, however, he said, "But I'm the youngest of my people!"
Not sure what to think, the Rangers just smiled and laughed, wanting to enjoy the celebration.
Well, this was a interesting one. But now things will be fun, trying to decide who goes with the group when the team is picked from now on, that will be fun for a while. -sighs, headdesks-
