Disclaimer: Saban owns the Power Rangers and all related items. Toei Animation, Noako Takeuchi, and Kodansha own the Sailor Senshi. This fanfic is for entertainment purposes only, no profit is being made from it, and besides, it's not like there will ever actually be a Power Rangers/Sailor Moon crossover on TV (At least not as long as mine is going to be ^_^;;;).
Here's the story. . .
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Power Team Turbo, Go!
Power Team Turbo, Go!
Shift into high gear,
Put the metal to the floor!
Let's show the forces of evil
that love and justice conquer all!

Last time. . .
Usagi: Klotho lead me forward on my quest. Meanwhile, Zedd and Rita meet with Beryl, and trouble broke out, but managed to get under control. Then they sent out a new monster. The Rangers attempted to stop the new threat, but not even their Turbo Megazord was stood a chance. Does this mean defeat for our heroes? What will happen next? Stay right there and I'll show you!
Now on with the story. . .
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Power Chamber. . .
The Rangers enter and remove their helmets. Alpha 6 brings them some water to drink.
"Yo yo yo, what went wrong out there, Rangers?" asks Alpha.
"We don't know, Alpha," says Adam.
"It was like we couldn't even touch the monster," says Katherine.
"It wasn't even like one of Zedd and Rita's monsters," says Tommy.
"Could it not be possible that it is one of Beryl's monsters, and thus takes different powers to defeat?" asks Dimitria.
"Most likely, yeah," says Justin.
"I wish the Senshi would hurry up and return," says Tanya.
Luna and Dimitria neglect to mention what they know to avoid dampening the Power Rangers' spirits.

In the mysterious gardens. . .
Usagi walks with Klotho.
"How much farther is it? I'm tired!" whines Usagi.
"Not much farther, my dear. We're almost there," replies Klotho.
They approach a gate with a seal on it. They hear voices eminating from the other side.
"We must remove the seal to gain entrance," says Klotho.
"How are we going to do that?" asks Usagi.
"I don't know," says Klotho.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the Lunar Palace. . .
Beryl and her group have moved in, and everyone is gathered in the throne room. Zedd, Rita, Goldar, Rito, Finster, Scorpina, a recently arrived Squatt and Baboo, and the Reaper are dancing the congo. Beryl sits upon her throne. Jadeite, Ail, and Ann stand on the sidelines and sweatdrop at the sight of the other villians doing the congo.
"Are they really this dumb?" asks Ann.
"It would explain why they haven't succeed yet," replies Ail.
"Hush, baka," snaps Jeddite.
"Don't tell my sister what to do," snarls Ail. "Sis, this is just their way of celebrating their victory against those accursed Sailors and the Rangers."
Scorpina gets out of the line and wanders over the trio and tries to cling onto Jadeite.
"Get off me, whore!" yells Jadeite.
"What if I don't want to!?!" Scorpina yells back.
Goldar notices what Scorpina is doing to Jadeite and starts to snarl.
"Hush, my children. We *ALL* should be celebrating our victory over the good-doers," says Beryl.
"Let's send the Reaper back down and cause more mischief," suggests Lord Zedd.
"Excellent idea, hubbie," says Rita. She takes her wand and zaps the monster back to Earth.
"Did I tell you to do that? DID I?" yells Beryl.
"Look, missie, but you don't rule here," retorts Rita. "I used to run this place."
"And evidently, you failed. That is why I am in charge," says Beryl.
"Says who, Mother?" asks Zedd.
"Why you impertinent, little. . ."
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Well, let's that little family feud and see what's happening with Usagi at the gate. . .
Usagi and Klotho attempt to lift the seal, but to no result. The seal just won't budge.
"What now, child?" asks Klotho.
"I may have an idea," says Usagi.
"I thought I smelled something burning," says a voice that sounds like Rei. When Usagi looks to see who said that, she cannot find anyone but Klotho.
"Did you just hear something?" asks Usagi.
"No, I did not," replies Klotho. "So, what's your idea?"
"This." Usagi calls upon her weakened Silver Crystal and holds it in front of her. She wishes the door to open. The
Crystal shines brightly and the seal starts to glow. The seal disappears and the gates open. Usagi faints at what she sees
inside.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the Power Chamber. . .
An alarm starts to blare. The viewing globe turns on and reveals the Reaper, once again terrorizing the innocent citizens of Angel Grove.
"We've got to go," says Tommy.
"But we had no effect on it before," Tanya reminds everybody.
"We just have to take that chance," replies Tommy.
"I knew you'd say that sooner or later," says Adam.
"Very funny, Adam," replies Tommy drily.
"Go now, Rangers," says Alpha.
"Back to action!" everybody yells.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ninjor's Temple. . .
Usagi is lying on a mat on the floor. Klotho kneels on the floor next to her and puts a wet washcloth on Usagi's head.
"Will she be okay?" asks Ninjor.
"Yeah, I think it's just from the sight of seeing 'them'."
"It's just like odango atama to faint like that," says a familiar voice.
"Lay off, will you?" says another familiar voice.
"Yeah, hasn't she been through enough already as it is?" says a third familiar voice.
"Was it really necessary to make us all go through that, Ninjor? Klotho?" asks a final familiar voice.
"Yes, Ami. We needed to know if you were still truly worthy of regaining your powers after a lengthy period of inactivity. We felt the test were needed after seeing you all in battle against lesser foes such as the Machine Empire and Divatox," replies Klotho.
"As soon as Usagi-chan awakens, we shall begin the ceremony to restore your powers," says Ninjor.
"Uuuuuhhhhh," moans Usagi. "Is it really you guys, my friends?"
"Yes, Odango Atama," replies Rei.
"Wah! Please stop being so mean to me!" whines Usagi. "And is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."
"I guess that means Usagi is going to be okay," says Ami, laughing.
"That's good. We can't do this without her," remarks Makoto cheerfully.
"Can you get up, Princess?" asks Minako as she extends her hand to Usagi.
"Sure," says Usagi as she struggles to get up.
"No, please let her rest," says Klotho. "She still is weak and could hurt herself even more if she tries to go through with this now!"
"I must, Klotho. The safety of Angel Grove, no, the world and the universe are at stake if I don't do this now."
"She shoots and she scores!" yells Ninjor.
"Huh?" ask the Senshi as their eye turn into little dots and they sweatdrop.
"Usagi has passed the final test of compassion, care, and love. Her determination to aid the entire universe, even at risk to herself proves that all of you deserve the new power-ups," explains Klotho.
"Now, please form a circle around me and join hands. Your journey is about to begin," says Ninjor. "Close your eyes and concentrate. I shall guide in your quest for knowledge and power."
The Senshi gather and hold their hands together. Energy, colored to the particular senshi starts to flow through their arms.
Ninjor starts. "Older than time itself, man has..."
The Senshi glare at him.
"Er, woman, eheh, has always known the Calling. Light of the light, strength of the soul, ignite this eternal power inside of me. I am Ninja! I am pure of heart, body, mind, and spirit. Join with me now as I become one with the power of Ninja!"
Lightning flashes. Ninja suits start to materialize on the senshi: Usagi in pink; Rei in red; Ami in blue; Makoto in black; Minako in yellow. On each's chest is a golden emblem: Usagi's is a combo of the Moon and a Crane; Rei's is the symbol of Mars and an Ape; Ami's is the insignia of Mercury with a wolf; Makoto's the symbol of Jupiter with a frog; Minako's the symbol of Venus and a bear.
"You now possess the power of Ninja deep within your souls. Come and learn of your new gifts," says Ninjor.
* * * * * *
Everybody, except for Klotho, enters the gardens. They all separate from each other and stand in individual spots. Ninjor moves to the front of the group.
"You are an extraordinary group of teenagers, and Zordon couldn't have chosen you better."
"Um, Ninjor, Zordon didn't chose us, destiny did," says Usagi.
"Oh, um, right. Silly me. Anyway, let me tell you about your new powers. Behold the power, grace, and beauty of you new, alright, so they're not quite new. . .Ninjazords!" A bolt of lightning shoots from his hand and scenes of their new zords play on the sky. "These zords are driven by the force of the Ninja, and enfused with the power of light and strength. Their power comes from the swift, intelligent cunning of the Ninja. This is more than a restoration of your Sailor Senshi powers. Your new henshin sticks have much more advanced powers. However, as before, it is important that you work together as a team. To that end, all the zords have the power to unite as one. . .the Ninja Megazord!"
"Awesome!" exclaims Usagi.
"Yeah," agrees Rei.
Ninjor continues, "They will serve you well in your quest to defeat the evils that jeopardize your world. You are a truly remarkable group of young ladies, worthy of the Ninja power.
A pink light shines down on Usagi. "Usagi, behold the shining Crane Ninjazord. May the beauty, grace and speed it possesses shine forth into your own being." The Crane Ninjazord flying across the sky is seen.
"We'll see about this," mutters Rei.
A blue light shines down on Ami. "Now, Ami, the silent Wolf Ninjazord will answer to your call. Its stealth and accuracy will be an unbeatable combination." A scene of the Wolf Ninjazord running across a bridge is seen.
A red light shines down on Rei. "Rei, step forward and claim the power of your new Ninjazord. You shall control the mighty Red Ape Ninjazord. Learn from its wisdom and strength." A scene of the Ape Ninjazord is seen where it rushes forward into battle with its swords drawn.
A black light shines down on Makoto. "Makoto, you shall become one with the wise Frog Ninjazord. Learn from its silent courage." A scene of the Frog Ninjazord jumping through a city is seen.
"I can't believe it..." mutters Makoto. "I am a... frog."
A yellow light shines down on Minako. "And Minako, you shall be in control of the fierce Bear Ninjazord. Its might and cunning are also a part of you." A scene of the Bear Ninjazord walking through the city and rising up to stomp the ground are seen.
"What about the Falconzord?" asks Ami.
"The Falconzord is unavailable at the moment, but don't worry. Your zords and those of the Rangers will be enough." The Falconzord is seen flying across the sky.
"How do we call on them?" asks Usagi.
"You will know when the time is correct," replies Ninjor. "I sense the rangers are under attack. Now activate your powers and help them!"
"But how?" asks Usagi.
"Look into your hearts and become one with your animal ninja," replies Ninjor.
An image of a crane flies out from Usagi. "I am the crane, agile and graceful. We are one!" She poses. Rei snorts.
An image of a wolf flies out from Ami. "I am the wolf, silent and sure." She poses.
An image of an ape flies out from Rei. "I am the ape, mighty and strong." She poses.
An image of a frog flies out from Makoto. "I am the frog, courageous in spirit." She poses.
An image of a bear flies out from Minako. "I am the bear, cunning and fierce." She poses.
"Congratulation, Sailor Soldiers. You've passed through the Portal of Power and Light. Go forth in the spirit of Ninja!"
orders Ninjor.

Angel Grove Park. . .
The Rangers had assembled the Turbo R.A.M. cannon mode and attempted to take down the monster, but to no avail. The Tengas weren't making it better either and it seemed that they had been supercharged. It seemed that all was lost when suddenly five colored flashes started knocking the Tengas out.
"Wow. . ." says Justin.
"I think theeeyyyy'rrreee back!" exclaims Adam.
"The Ninjas are back!" exclaims Katherine.
When things slow down enough, five multi-colored ninja suit-clad warrior can be seen. Their chest emblems glow brightly and the cloth hoods disappear from their faces to reveal the Senshi.
"We're back!" exclaims Usagi.
"And better than ever!" remarks Makoto.
"I'd like to see Beryl try anything now!" yells Rei.
"We're ready!" exclaims Ami.
"Well, look out behind you!" yells Tommy. "Monster Alert! And it seems to be invincible."
The Senshi turn around to face the Reaper.
"You been messing with our friends. . ." starts Usagi.
". . .then you're asking for trouble. . ." continues Rei.
". . .and you're going to get it. . ." continues Ami.
". . .from the new girls on the block. . ." continues Makoto.
". . .us, the Sailor Senshi. Let's transform, minna!" finishes Minako.
The Senshi hold their hands in front of their chests. A new locket with the Inner Ninja animal designs enscribed around the Moon Ninja spirit on the face and the Silver Crystal in it appears in Serena's hands. New henshin wands with their animal spirits on them appear in the Inner Senshi's hands.
"MOON ETERNAL, MAKE-UP!" Usagi yells her prior henshin call. A blazing emblem of a crane flares from the locket and surrounds her in feathers. The crane's wings close upon her, forming her fuku. The crane's tail spreads around her, forming the skirt and wing-bows.
"MERCURY NINJA POWER, MAKE-UP!" A chilly image of a wolf flows from the henshin wand and surrounds Ami in ice bubbles which flatten into ribbons and form her Sailor uniform.
"MARS NINJA POWER, MAKE-UP!" A blazing emblem of an ape flares from the henshin wand and surrounds Rei in rings of fire which shrink onto her body to form her Sailor uniform.
"JUPITER NINJA POWER, MAKE-UP!" The image of a frog jumps forth from the henshin wand and surrounds Makoto with rings of electricity which shrink onto her body to form her Sailor uniform.
"VENUS NINJA POWER, MAKE-UP!" A vision of a bear leaps forth from the henshin wand and surrounds Minako in a dazzling array of lights, stars and hearts that come together to form her Sailor uniform.
The Senshi transform and appear in newer versions of their Crystal Power fukus and have new pendants on their front bows which show off their animal spirits.
"For love and justice, I'm the pretty sailor-suited soldier, Sailormoon! In place of the moon, I'll punish you!" yells Sailor Moon.
"And on behalf of the planet Mercury, despite being nearest the sun, I'm going to chill you!" yells Sailor Mercury.
"In the name of Mars, I'll chastise you!" yells Sailor Mars.
"Prepare for a storm because Jupiter is thundering down!" yells Sailor Jupiter.
"And for Venus, I'm going to teach you love's wraith of a woman scorned!" yells Sailor Venus.
The mysterious brown-haired girl stands behind a tree watching. "I knew you girls could do it," she whisper as she
silently walks away unnoticed. "I just wished I didn't have to leave for New York so soon..."
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In the Power Chamber. . .
Luna and Artemis had been snoozing on the biobed when suddenly they heard familiar voices on the viewing globe.
"Ah megami-sama! They're alive, Artemis, they're alive!" yells Luna.
"That's great, Luna," mumbles Artemis as he tries to go back to sleep. Luna bats him on the head.
"What was that for, Luna?" Then he notices the viewing globe. "Oh, my princess, Luna, they're alive!"
"Gee, DUH!" sighs Luna as she sweatdrops.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the Lunar Palace. . .
Zedd takes a moment to get away from the little celebration to check on things down in Angel Grove. He is outraged by what he saw.
"Argh! It can't be, it just can't be!" he bellows.
"What is it, hubbie-dear?" asks Rita.
"Those accursed Sailors are back and even more powerful with the power of Ninja," explains Zedd.
"WHAT!?!" yells Beryl. "All my plans are ruined!"
"Not yet, evil ones," grobbles Goldar. "You can make the monster grow."
"As if that'll work," says Zedd, "But maybe it will, with a little help." With that, he takes his staff and teleports Goldar, Rito, and Scorpina to Earth.
Rita joins her husband on the balcony and they put their staffs together and yell, "Make our monsters grow!"
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Back at the park. . .
Goldar, Rito, and Scorpina appear next to the Reaper.
"We saw all the fun you were having, and decided to join you," says Goldar.
Lightning flashes and the quartet grows. The Senshi scramble back to where the Rangers were standing.
"What do we do now?" asks Katherine.
"They're sure to be stronger now!" adds Tanya.
"Then that's where we come in," says Sailor Moon.
"You guys call on the Turbozord and we'll be right back," says Sailor Mercury. With that, they teleport away.
"What do you guys think they have in mind?" asks Adam.
"Only one way to find out," says Tommy. "Turbo Zords, Turbo Power, Turbo Up!"
A section of pavement opens up in downtown Angel Grove and five turbo-charged cars race out. The Rangers jump into them and form the Turbo Megazord and call upon the Turbo Saber and Shield.
The Megazord goes after Scorpina, but is flung back, and Rito toasts it with his flame thrower.
Suddenly, an old, yet familiar noise is heard. It sounds like a wolf howling. Then a bear growling. And an ape roaring. And a frog ribbiting. And a crane soaring through the sky.
The Sailor Senshi jump aboard their ninjazords.
Sailor Moon enters the Crane Ninjazord's cockpit. She holds her hands together in front of her with the index fingers forming a V. She moves to cross her arms and puts her left arm to her side bent, and holds her right arm up in front of her, and yells "Moon Pink Crane Ninjazord, Power Up!"
The other Senshi enter their cockpits, do similiar hand moves and yell their respective zord's call phrase.
"Mercury Blue Wolf Ninjazord, Power Up!"
"Mars Red Ape Ninjazord, Power Up!"
"Jupiter Black Frog Ninjazord, Power Up!"
"Venus Yellow Bear Ninjazord, Power Up!"
The Ninjazords go into an attack pattern. The Ape takes out its swords and connects them together. In the cockpit, Sailor Mars yells, "Burning Mandala!" The Ape whirls its blades around, forming a set of eight fireballs and motions them forward. They knock the Reaper on his back.
"Shine Aqua Illusion!" The Wolf opens its mouth, and ice shoot out and freeze Rito's flame thrower.
"Hey, no fair!" yells Rito.
"Like you play fair," yells Tommy from the Turbo Megazord, which was slowly getting back on its feet.
Scorpina attempts to encircle the Frog with her tail, but Sailor Jupiter unleashes her attack. "Sparkling Wide Pressure!" A tongue of electricity releases from the Frog's mouth and encircles the scorpion lady.
"It's your turn, Goldar!" yells Sailor Venus. "Venus Love & Beauty, SHOCK!" Beams of heart-shaped light emit from the eyes and mouth of the Bear. Goldar isn't hurt, but now his armor is pink and has cute, yellow ribbons and pink hearts tied all over his body.
"Ugh, this is disgusting!" exclaims Goldar. He tries to pull the ribbons off, but to no avail. He, Rito, and Scorpina teleport away, leaving the Reaper alone to fight the battle.
"Hey, where did you all go? Oh, well, it looks like I'll have to finish this myself."
"Senshi, let's do it!" yells Sailor Moon.
"Ninja Megazord, power up!" yell the Senshi together.
The Crane's head and neck folds up and the wings fold back. The Bear and Frog fly through the sky, the Bear's legs folding up and its head sliding back and the Frog bringing its hind legs down and forward to connect with its foward legs.
The Bear flies up into the sky with the Ape and Wolf. The Ape's back opens up and the arms fold in. The legs slide up and a helmet fist attaches over its head. The Wolf's legs fold up and a helmet fist attaches to its head.
The Ape, Wolf, and Crane connect to the Bear, with the Ape on the right and the Wolf on the left. The subsection connects to the top of the Frog as they fly over a street in downtown Angel Grove.
The Ninja Megazord lands on the ground near the Reaper and poses. It helps the Turbo Megazord and together they face the Reaper.
"What, two of you? I can still beat you," gloats the Reaper.
"Let us take care of this," says Sailor Moon.
"Right," agrees Tommy.
"Ninja Megazord Power Punch!" yell the Senshi. The Red Ape and Blue Wolf charge up with their colored energy, then fling forward and release their energy onto the Reaper, who is knocked forward.
"That still wasn't good enough, guys," warns Sailor Venus.
"I think we need a little more firepower," says Sailor Jupiter.
"How about Ninjor?" asks Sailor Moon.
"He's already done enough for us," says Sailor Mercury. "It wouldn't be right to call upon him."
"You just did, and I'm happy to help anyway I can!" says a familiar voice. "Ninja Power, Now!" And with that, Ninjor morphs into his powered-up mode, with a different face and his shoulder guards up and leg guards down.
"You mess with my friends and you mess with me!" yells Ninjor. "And here's your present." He flings an energy disc at the weakened monster, which blows up when contact is made between him and the energy.
"YES!!" yell the Rangers, Senshi, and Ninjor in unison as Ninjor and the Megazords do post-victory poses.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the Lunar Palace. . .
"Argh, I can't believe you goons ran out of there like that!" screeches Rita as she bats the kneeling forms of Goldar, Rito, and Scorpina on the heads. She turns to the still cute Goldar.
"You! You're suppose to be a warrior and here I find you in... ::giggle:: ...pink... ::chuckle:: ...armor. Hahahahaha!"
Then she heads to Baboo and Squatt and bats them on the head.
"What'd we do?" asks Squatt.
"Nothing, that's what!" bellows Rita.
"Is she always like this?" Jadeite quietly asks Finster.
"You should see her on a bad day," whispers Finster.
"Well, at least Beryl doesn't seem that mad," remarks Jadeite.
"Shut up in the peanut gallery," yells Beryl.
"I'm outta here, back to my workshop, where I'm in charge," says Finster as he scurries off.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Angel Grove Youth Center. . .
The Rangers and Senshi moved two tables together and sat down. Jerome Stone, the newest owner of the Youth Center, brought over a tray loaded with 10 smoothies and two bowls of milk and placed the glasses on the tables and the bowls on the floor.
"I'm so glad that's over with," remarks Tommy
"So am I," says Luna quietly enough so only the Power Teens could hear her. "I was so worried about you girls."
"Luna, you worry too much," says Makoto.
"Yeah, you know things always turn out right for us in the end. Otherwise, how would Crystal Tokyo come about?" says Usagi.
"Well, you ought to know how easy it is to change time," says Luna. "Otherwise, Sailor Pluto wouldn't spend most of her life guarding the Gate of Time when she could be doing other things."
"But even if we all died, we could still be resurrected, right?" asks Usagi.
"I believe it was the power of the Silver Crystal that made the resurrection work, so, yes, it might be possible, but I don't want you risking yourself on the concept that the Crystal will always resurrect you," says Luna.
"So gals, what are your plans now?" asks Adam.
"Well, we've got high schoolto go to. In fact, we should be getting ready for classes right now. They only start in three more days and I'm only ten chapters ahead," says Ami.
The other Senshi's eyes go to dots and they sweatdrop at this. The Rangers just sit there with blank stares, not knowing what the problem is.
Rei notices and explains. "Ami-chan is a studyholic and always trying to get farther ahead than neccessary."
The Rangers and Senshi share in a big laugh at this while Ami, Luna and Artemis just sweatdrop.
The End (for now).
Next Time: A blast from the past, er, future returns and brings with her new powers to complement the team. Meanwhile, the Machine Empire releases another dastardly plot to get rid of our heroes. What will happen? Find out next time!
Sailor Says:
Usagi: Well, we sure learned a lesson today.
Rei: Oh? And what would that be, Odango Atama?
Usagi: Uh, oh, um...
Rei: I thought so. Today wasn't really a lessons episode was it?
Justin: Nope, it was just to get this ridiculous mini-series over with and get into the meat of the series.
Ami: I think I found a lesson. Your friends are never dead til you can actually prove it. Brawn isn't dead!
Rangers & Senshi: ::sweatdrop:: Huh?
Ami: ::sweatdrops:: Um, uh, I guess I've been reading too much alt.toys.transformers.
Rangers & Senshi: ::sweatdrop:: Huh?
Ami: ::still sweatdropping:: Nevermind, forget it.
Rangers & Senshi: Please tell us. . . That isn't like you. . .
Bloopers: The gate seal falls off the door; Red Ninja Rei falls before she can hit the Reaper; the Crane Ninjazord
falls out of the sky after a few years of no use; the Frog Ninjazord's power tongue doesn't ignite for the attack; Rita
attempts to bat Rito, but he moves out of the way and Rita falls to the ground, screaming, "Help me, help me, I can't get up.
Curse these cone bras and this ugly hair!" The other villians can't help but laugh.
