Currently, Casey and Paul B were sitting in a deli together with Paul B eating a sandwich. Casey stared at Paul B then she cleared her throat, catching Paul B's attention. Paul B wiped his mouth with a napkin,"Yea?"

"Are you going to explain what just happened back there and why I have this thing on my wrist and a coin.",Casey asked motioning to the two objects.

"Spirit Changer and Phantom medal.",Paul B said

"Huh?"

"The thing on your wrist is called a Spirit Changer and the coin is called a Phantom medal. They're what we use to change into Phantomrangers."

"Okay I know that but what are they and why did they just appear when I had tackled that monster."

"Well for one, that monster is called a Specter and two, I don't really know why they appeared but I think it's because you and I can see the Specters even when they haven't taken over the person."

Casey raised an eyebrow,"What do you mean we can see them when they haven't taken over a person?"

"I mean that they're invisible to others when they aren't in the full Specter form."Paul B said casually, taking a bite out of his sandwich. Casey's eyes widened then she said with shock,"You mean to tell me that no one else could see the blue stuff coming off me before I transformed?"

Paul B shook his head then swallowed,"Only we can see that kind of stuff. Well us and certain other people."

Casey kept her shocked expression, sinking into her seat and mumbling,"I can't believe that I was the only one who could see all that."

"Are you alright?",Paul B asked while looking at Casey. Casey sat up in her seat, turning her attention to Paul B,"No I'm not alright. I just got told that I can somehow see spirits coming out of people and changing them into monsters on top of me suddenly gaining the ability to change into a brightly colored superhero."

"Actually, you're more of a regular blue than a light blue.",Paul B interjected.

"Doesn't matter!",Casey said intensely. Paul B nodded, then he looked at one of the customers in the deli and he said,"Oh, there's another one."

Casey raised an eyebrow then turned her head to see a man in cyclist attire had a gray aura coming off of his body as he paid for his food. The cyclist then received his food and walked out the deli. Paul B finished his food then he stood up and said,"Let's go after him before he gets away." as he began to follow the cyclist. Casey sighed then she got up as Paul B helped her out of her seat and dragged her out the door.


Meanwhile at a skatepark, three men were in the skate park with two sitting near the fence while one was standing on a ramp with his skateboard ready. The man standing on the ramp was a Caucasian man with short brown hair, a beard and a toned build to him along with a tattoo sleeve on his right arm. This man wore a pair of black rimmed glasses, a short sleeved green plaid button up which he wore open over a white tank top, beige shorts and green and white sneakers. This man had a Spirit Changer on his left wrist that was green in color.

The shortest of these men was Japanese and he had bright pink hair that was short but wavy and curly and he had his nails painted wine red and gray. He was also of a skinny build. This man wore a black short sleeved t-shirt that had a heart graphic on the right side of it, black skinny jeans with ripped knees, and black boots that had a platform to them making him an inch or so taller than he actually was. This man also had several wristbands on both his right wrist, a ring on his right middle finger and he wore make-up but in a natural look. On this man's left wrist was a Spirit Changer that was pink in color.

The last and tallest of these men appeared to be Caucasian and he had black very curly hair which stopped just past his ears and went over his forehead. This man had a black face mask on and an eyepatch over his left eye and he wore a black t-shirt under a yellow short-sleeved hoodie, gray cargo pants, and black combat boots. He also wore a chain bracelet on his right wrist and a skull ring on his right middle finger. He also had the nail of his index and ring fingers painted black but it was chipping away. On this man's left wrist was a Spirit Changer that was mainly yellow in color.

"Okay guys, I am finally going to do this trick.",The man wearing glasses said with apprehensive confidence.

"You said that the last four times you've tried this Jason.",The masked man said in an almost demonic sounding voice. The pink haired man looked at the masked man then said with a heavy accent,"Axey-chan, don't put Jason-san down like that."

"I'm not putting him down, Kizu. I'm just pointing out that he's yet to do this.",the masked man said while looking at the pink haired man, now known as Kizu.

"Thank you for believing in me Kizu. Axis, take notes from him.",The man with glasses, now known as Jason, said. Kizu nodded, then he and the masked man, now known as Axis, watched as Jason began to do his trick. Jason rode his skateboard down the ramp then went up and did a handstand on one hand before he attempted to ride his skateboard down the ramp. He instead slid down on his knees while saying,"Damnit!"

"Huh, that was better than I thought it'd be.",Axis said with genuine surprise as he and Kizu walked over to Jason. Jason got up then he looked at the ramp and said,"I don't know what it is that's keeping me from sticking that landing."

"Well you are upside down so maybe your equilibrium can't handle it.",Axis suggested while crossing his arms.

"Son'na koto wa nai to omoimasu, Axey-chan.",Kizu said in his native tongue.

"What did he just say?",Jason asked Axis.

"He said he doesn't think that would happen.",Axis explained.

"Gomenei, I spoke in Japanese again didn't I?",Kizu apologized.

"Yep, you did and I understood none of it.",Jason said before turning around and looking at the ramp and his skateboard. Axis looked at Kizu then nervously said,"I actually like it when you speak Japanese."

Kizu looked at Axis with enamored eyes,"You do Axey-chan?"

"Yeah, it's a cool language and it's nice to hear you speak it. Plus I know you have trouble speaking English sometimes and since I can understand you, I'll just translate for you. If you want that is.",Axis said, stumbling over his words a few times. Kizu smiled then said with nervous happiness,"Arigato Axey-chan. Dekiru kagiri no hōhō de hensai shimasu."

"No, you don't need to pay me back. I mean I'd do this for you anytime.",Axis said nervously. Kizu began blushing and tried to hide it while also smiling happily. Jason, who was looking at the two, stared at both his friends then he said,"How you two have not noticed this honestly hurts me."

"Noticed what?",Axis and Kizu asked in unison. Jason then facepalmed before saying,"I love you guys but you make it hard to not think you're blind."

Axis and Kizu continued to have questioning gazes, then Kizu looked at the time before saying,"Axey-chan, we need to get to work."

"See ya around Jason.",Axis said. Kizu waved goodbye to Jason then he and Axis went towards a gray muscle car. Jason looked at his friend's leave then he turned to the ramp while saying,"When the heck are those two going to realize they like each other?"

It was then that he noticed that the cyclist was staring at him with a gray aura coming off of him. Jason raised an eyebrow then he said,"Hey buddy, do you want something from me or are you just gonna be creepy?"

The cyclist then had the gray aura engulfed the man before his skin turned to stone then burst off of him. The cyclist had now turned into a Specter that was made from junk save for the two sawblades it had for hands. Jason gasped and fell down from both fear and shock at the sight of the Saw Specter. The Saw Specter made its way towards Jason then it stopped when Paul B and Casey got between it and Jason.

"Who the heck are you two?",Jason asked while looking at both Casey and Paul B. Paul B turned to Jason while saying,"We're the people that are saving you."

Paul B noticed that Jason had a Spirit Changer on his wrist,"Oh, you have a Spirit Changer too! Today just keeps getting better and better."

"Honestly, my day isn't going all too well with the whole being roped into becoming a superhero thing."Casey commented.

"Superhero? This thing on my wrist is gonna let me become a superhero?"Jason asked.

"Yep, you get to become a part of the Spirit Sentai Phantomranger. I'm Phantomred and Casey here is Phantomblue."Paul B said with a smile with Casey waving when she was acknowledged. Jason nodded then said,"Okay I'm game, how I get to superheroing?"

Paul B smirked then he turned around as Jason stood on his left side. He then took out his phantom medal and flipped into the air before catching it and saying,"Phantomise!"

Casey rolled her eyes then took out her phantom medal and said,"Phantomise."

Jason smiled excitedly then he took out a green phantom medal that had a green tornado symbol in the middle of it. He then said,"Phantomise!" while holding his phantom medal above his head.

All three young adults put their phantom medals into their Spirit Changers.

"AGNI, ELIZI, NJORD! PHANTOMISE!"

Paul B was changed into Phantomred. Casey was changed into Phantomblue. Jason had a green aura come out of him and briefly form into a hawk before colliding with Jason. The aura dissipated and Jason now stood in a black bodysuit that had two green angular streaks on each thigh. Along with the body suit was a pair of green boots that had a silver hem that stopped just below his knees, green gloves which had a black stripe on the wrist and stopped just above the elbow, a silver belt around the waist that had a green buckle, and on his torso over his bodysuit was a green tabard that had pointed shoulders. Jason's helmet was green with a silver mouthplate, a black visor in the shape of a radical v, and it looked like the head of a hawk. Jason had also become super deformed, now having large hands, feet, and head with his body, arms, and legs being very thin. He had also shrunken to being 3ft and 3in tall.

"REDPHANTOM, BLUEPHANTOM, GREENPHANTOM READY!"

RedPhantom and BluePhantom looked at GreenPhantom and they both let out surprised gasps at the sight of him. GreenPhantom looked at himself then he felt his helmet before saying,"So I'm a character from Sonic the hedgehog when transformed? This is weird, but also kinda cool."

"You're taking this way too well right now.",BluePhantom commented.

RedPhantom then turned his attention to the dumbfounded Saw Specter before saying,"The fiery spirit, RedPhantom!"

BluePhantom sighed then she said in a disinterested voice,"The calming spirit, BluePhantom."

GreenPhantom ooh'd at the two then he said with enthusiasm,"The animated spirit, GreenPhantom!"

"We're the Spirit Sentai,"RedPhantom said by himself. He then posed while BluePhantom stood still and GreenPhantom did a rock and roll pose,"Phantomranger!"

RedPhantom then readied himself before saying,"Now let's put this Specter to rest."

The three Phantomrangers charged at the Saw Specter as it readied itself for battle. RedPhantom threw a punch at the Saw Specter but it was blocked and he was slashed across the chest. BluePhantom dodged two slashes then she narrowly jumped back from a slash before having to roll under one. GreenPhantom easily ran under the Saw Specter's attacks then he jumped up and punched the Specter in the face before jumping once more to kick it in the chest. The Saw Specter staggered back then it was roundhouse kicked by RedPhantom before being drop kicked by the red suited man.

RedPhantom, BluePhantom, and GreenPhantom regrouped with RedPhantom saying to GreenPhantom,"Hey you're pretty good at this."

"Just because I shrunk down a few feet, doesn't mean I lost my edge."GreenPhantom said in a cocky fashion.

"How are you two not freaked out by anything that's going on right now?!"BluePhantom yelled, causing Red and GreenPhantom to jump in surprise.

Unbeknownst to the trio, a Japanese androgynous woman with short black hair was watching them from behind a tree. This woman wore a black hoodie with the sleeves rolled up to their elbows, black shorts, and black high top shoes with a white hem. The woman looked at the trio then she snapped her fingers while saying,"Kara o deteiku." (Translation: Go forth Husks)

Suddenly, a platoon of gray and black creatures with faces void of any emotion and emaciated bodies appeared around the Phantomrangers. The Phantomrangers looked around, then BluePhantom asked,"Who are these guys?!"

"I don't know. This is my first time seeing them.",RedPhantom said.

"Since none of us know what they are but know they want to kill us. Can we just fight them?",GreenPhantom said.

"Good idea.",RedPhantom said before summoning his Agnibowblade. BluePhantom summoned her Elizitrigun and brandished it. GreenPhantom held his hands out and green aura came out of them before forming into a green hoverboard that was as tall as GreenPhantom and had an armored front and back portion.

"NJORDBOARD!"

"Huh, a hoverboard. I can work with this.",GreenPhantom said before he threw the hoverboard towards the platoon, jumping onto it and beginning to ride it. GreenPhantom hit several of the Husks with his board then he punched two Husks in the face while flying past them. He then did a kickflip with his hoverboard, dodging three attacks in the process, before hitting the Husks with a spinning kick.

BluePhantom shot several Husks then dodged an attack from a Husk before she punched it in the face. BluePhantom then shot three more Husks before jumping over five Husks and shooting them all. She then kicked four more Husks before shooting them all.

RedPhantom slashed three Husks then he pulled back on his bow and shot four Husks with energy arrows. He then blocked a slash from the Saw Specter and stepped back so he could stay upright. RedPhantom then managed to push the Saw Specter back then he slashed it in the chest twice before narrowly dodging two slashes from the creature. He then ducked a slash and fired several energy arrows into the Saw Specter's abdomen causing it to stagger backwards.

RedPhantom then cut down two Husks before he looked at GreenPhantom and said,"Oi, GreenPhantom! Put your Spirit Changer to your board and finish off these Husks."

GreenPhantom nodded, then he put his Spirit Changer to the front of his Njordboard causing it to announce,"EXORCISE, NJORD PURGE!"

GreenPhantom then rammed into all the remaining Husks, himself and his board covered in surging green energy. Once all the Husks were destroyed, the Phantomrangers regrouped and readied themselves to fight the Saw Specter but it suddenly was turned into a small gray pearl before flying away from the scene. The androgynous woman saw this then disappeared from where she stood.

RedPhantom and the others reverted to their civilian forms with Jason saying,"Okay, gonna have to get used to the switching sizes thing. I am glad to have regular sized hands though."

"Uh hey, guy with glasses. Mind telling us who you are.",Casey insisted.

Jason turned to Casey,"Oh yeah where are my manners? I'm Jason Kline but my friends call me either Jason or Jk."

"I'm Casey Daniels.",Casey shook hands with Jason.

"I'm Paul B, nice to meet you Jk.",Paul B said with his usual tone while shaking Paul B's hand.

"Nice to meet you guys too. Now can one of you explain why a monster made of junk with circular saws for hands just tried to eighty six me?",Jason asked while crossing his arms.

"Well we don't really know why the Specter went after you but it really doesn't matter. We need to find it before it causes anymore trouble.",Paul B said with conviction.

"Gotcha, I can keep a lookout for it then call you guys if I find it. I mean I'll need your numbers first unless this Spirit Changer is also a communicator.",Jason said while lifting his Spirit Changer into view.

"It is actually.",an unknown voice said from Jason's Spirit Changer. The trio were startled by the voice, then it said,"Don't be alarmed, I am a friend. I will show myself and explain the situation to you all once you retrieve the last two members of the Phantomrangers. For now, just find them and defeat the Saw Specter before it's able to grow."

"Grow? What do you mean grow?!",Casey questioned. Jason's Spirit Changer went silent and Casey huffed in annoyance then she said,"Ya know, I'm getting really tired of people not explaining what the HELL is going on to me!"

Paul B and Jason backed away from Casey while looking at her somewhat fearfully. Jason then began thinking and he said,"Wait a sec, this thing on my wrist is an indicator that I'm a Phantomranger right?"

"Pretty much yeah.",Paul B responded.

"That's a good thing then because I know who the last two Phantomrangers are.",Jason said with a smile.

"You do?",Casey and Paul B asked with surprise.

"Eyup, my buds Axis and Kizu have these on 'em too.",Jason explained casually. Paul B smiled then said with excitement,"Oh awesome! That means the Phantomrangers can be whole!"

"I still have so many questions, but if getting these two guys means I'll get answers then let's go get them.",Casey said, somewhat annoyed by the days events. Jason nodded then he, Paul B, and Casey began walking to Jason's car.


Somewhere else in the city, the androgynous woman stood by herself with the gray pearl in her hand. She looked at it then her eyes changed to being like that of a galaxy and she said,"Anata ga seichō dekiru yō ni anata wa chikara o eru hitsuyō ga arimasu. Tsugini, anata ga watashitachi no nakamairi o suru kachigāru ka dō ka o kakunin shimasu."

(Translation: You need to gain power so you can grow. Then we shall see if you are worthy of joining our ranks.)

The androgynous woman then began pouring energy into the pearl causing it to glow.
