-Episode One: Rangers Together-
In the town of Arbor Bay, California, kids had started streaming from Arbor Bay High School after the final bell. Before long, the only ones remaining were Jackson Barnes, Tenshi Yamamoto, Ken Heshmire, and Hairo Li. Though the four teenagers were separate, they could all see, upon their exit from the building, a comet-like streak burning through the sky, gradually growing larger until it flew overhead, and seemingly crash-landed outside of town.
"Huh? What in the world was that?" Jackson questioned as he was walking out of the school's doors. He was busy fixing the position of his hat when he caught a glimpse of an object rocketing through the sky off in the distance. "Whoa... anybody else see that?" Jackson would look around frantically, hoping he wasn't just crazy and seeing things, before speaking his thoughts aloud. "Crap, I don't want to be late getting home, Mom would kill me if I got sidetracked again... But I've gotta go check that thing out!" he would say before scrambling off towards where he assumed the object had made contact with the Earth.
"Well that's something you don't see every day." Tenshi said then looked at his watch "Eh, I've got some time to kill, might as well find out what that was," he said before running off to where he thought the might-be comet would've landed
"Hm?" Ken found himself looking up from a comic in his hand to the sky, catching a glimpse of the thing out of the corner of his eye ...Isn't that interesting. The young man quickly smiled. Whatever it is, I'm sure I could get there before anyone else and get a look first. Could be something interesting. Maybe I could even claim it. A meteor would be cool to own. With that, the young man's one track mind began compelling him to head towards where it appeared to be crashing towards.
Hairo looked up at the comet falling down from the sky What in the- He looked around. This is a once in a life time opportunity! To see a real meteor landed on earth! With that, Hairo ran off to where the meteor had landed.
As the group of teens arrived, from varying angles, instead of a comet, they would see a spaceship, now half-buried in the dirt it had kicked up, and still smoking. Even as they appeared, so too would another group of people; one appeared to be a woman with bad taste in gothic clothes, and the others appeared to be faceless minions, almost robotic in appearance. "Galactibots! Find the Starmorphers and bring them to me! Along with that pesky white ranger!"
Seriously? Ken thought, standing up a bit. "What is this, some bad sci-fi movie filming?"
He spoke up, trying to catch the attention of the weirdos and goth chick.
Hairo came to a halt when he saw hot topic girl and faceless robot things. "What's with Dracula's bride and the robo-patrol?"
Tenshi stopped when he found the ship "What are they talking about?"
"Whoa...is that...a space shi-huh? Yo, who are these whack looking comic-con rejects?" Jackson says as he peers into the site. He was honestly flabbergasted. Was this all some bad TV movie? Maybe some of those weird role-play things?
As the teens began to speak, a man in white spandex appeared from the ship. The 10 robot-looking things rushed towards him as he drew a sidearm. The goth woman, however, turned to look at Ken, having heard him speak. With an evil smirk on her lips, she nodded as she walked over, shooting him with lightning to keep him from running. "Just what I needed... I'm certain you'll do nicely..."
Ken tried to dodge out of the way of the lightning "How in the-" he mumbled in confusion at the sight of her literally shooting lightning as he was knocked back onto the ground, flabbergasted. "What the heck is going on!"
As the gothic woman came up to Ken and grabbed him, they vanished in a streak of lightning. Meanwhile, the robots opened fire on the man in white, as he did on them. He took out 2 of them, who seemingly vanished, but got hit with 2 of the robots' blasts. "The Galactic Emperor will never hold the rest of the Starmorphers! Not as long as I draw breath!"
"Star wha-?" Hairo asked.
Tenshi stared at the white-clad man "Galactic emperor?"
"You're gonna probe me a-" Ken started to say before he was zapped away.
As Ken materialized with the gothic woman, he would find himself in a dark, metallic room. The woman smirked as she looked him up and down, before backing away slowly. "Well, aren't you just a perfect little morsel...? I bet you get all the girls on this world, hm?"
"-ren't you?" Ken finished as he stumbled back a bit. "Oh, and I've teleported. That's uh...something." He looked around before hearing the comment. "Well. It doesn't happen as often as you'd think." I wish! he thought to himself.
"No way! Is she shooting lightning at that guy?! Galactic Emperor? What did I just step into? D-did he just vanish?" Jackson looked around at everyone else who had gathered there and tried to find something to try to hide behind.
As the man in white continued to fire, he took out two more robots, both of whom fell down and vanished, and then took 4 more shots. He was starting to look a little tired, but rushed into the group to fight hand to hand.
Tenshi thought to himself, I should help him, but I don't know what I could do.
Hairo looked at the guy fighting. I can't let him take this on his own! He rushed in and tried to tackle one of the robots, taking it to the ground as it vanished.
"Might as well help him." Tenshi ran in and punched a robot.
Jackson looked back and noticed the others had joined the fray. "Aw, dangit." He looked around for a stick or something and tried to charge into the fray, swinging at a robot from behind. "Dang it." He'd completely missed all of them.
As Hairo took down one of the robots, the man in white started to punch, kick, and spin through the remaining 5 mooks, managing to take down 3 of them.
"One down! SEVERAL MORE TO GO!" Hairo tried to punch another one, rushing at a mook and punching it in the stomach, before tripping it and getting it in a headlock until it vanished.
"Hey rustbucket!" Jackson shouted as he swung at the same baddie he'd missed. This time, his aim was on point, and he struck the mook with his stick, and it vanished.
"Uh, might as well go for it!" Tenshi took a swing at the remaining mooks. However, he'd missed the remaining mooks, as they had all vanished. "Welp, seems they've got this handled."
With a nod, the man in white nodded, his helmet firmly in place. "Thank you, citizens, but there was no need for you to get involved. I was perfectly capab-" Even as he spoke, his left leg locked up, and a cry of pain could be heard as he hit the ground hard.
Hairo rushed over to the man "Don't move! You need medical attention immediately!"
"Oh yeah, it was noth- Yo, are you alright?" Jackson followed suit.
"Are you ok?" Tenshi knelt down next to the man.
He shook his head. "Your planet doesn't have advanced enough medicine to cure what ails me, citizen, but I thank you for your concern. I just... need to get back inside..."
"Back inside that ship?" Hairo questioned.
"Huh? So that really is a spaceship?" Jackson queried.
The man nodded. "Yes, it is... I was shot down while trying to get to safety... I am the last of my order... Soon, there will be no one to stop the Galactic Empire from taking over the entire universe..."
"What is this galactic empire?" Hairo asked curiously.
"Agreed, what is it?" Tenshi mimicked.
"Whoa..." Jax was floored.
The man raised his left wrist, pressing a button on a device there as he did so. "Power down!" As he did, he was revealed to be a human as well, with dark hair and blue eyes. "The Galactic Empire is a force of darkness that has been slowly conquering the galaxy, taking the resources they want and leaving the inhabitants with nothing... They are led by the Galaxic Emperor, Malix..."
"Uh. Who are you?" Ken asked the gothic-looking woman.
The woman gave him an almost flirtatious smile. "I'm Princess Talira, of the Galactic Empire. And you... You are the man I want to choose to be my champion... Have you ever heard of a Power Ranger, before?"
Princess? Galactic empire? Ken thought in shock. "Power rangers? Of course I know what they are."
Talira smiled as she held up a small device with a wrist strap, almost as if offering it to him. "If you help us bring the Earth into the Galactic Empire, I'll make you a Power Ranger..."
Seriously? A chance to become a freaking power ranger? Ken thought. He didn't even stop to ask about this empire "I'm still not sure what's going on. But if you can really make me one of those, I definitely will."
Talira smiled wider. "Good, good. All you have to do is swear your loyalty to the Galactic Empire... And bring me the remaining Starmorphers! Can you do that?"
Ken nodded. "Yeah sure. I can do that," he said.
With an evil smile, Talira moved over to place the morpher on Ken's wrist. "Good boy. Just remember not to tell anyone you're a Power Ranger... And don't you even think of betraying me, or I'll take back what I've given you, understand?" She caressed his cheek for a moment before slapping him, and walked off with a giggle.
"Yeah, I understand," Ken said, before the caressing. He blushed a bit afterwards, though. W-Woah. What th- Then he was slapped and just looked confused as she walked off. I'm getting mixed signals here.
"And you're the last of an order?" Hairo asked the man from the spaceship.
The man nodded. "I am Knight-Commander Marshal Starr, from the Knights of the Star Order, on the planet of Corith. Corith was conquered, however, and the members of my order were slaughtered."
"That's terrible!" Hairo replied.
Jackson was awed at the transformation but he brought his attention back to the man. "Malix? Star Order? So are you saying you're like... an alien? And these.. goons are trying to eradicate your Order? I'm assuming you're a part of the good guys, right?"
Marshal sighed, before shaking his head. "No, I'm not of another species, if that's what you're asking. I am a human, from another planet. But yes, I'm one of the good guys... But then, I suppose villains would say the same thing."
"And that transformation of yours was the Starmorphers the goth lady talked about?" Tenshi questioned Marshal.
Marshal nodded. "It was. I am a Power Ranger... one of the chosen 5 Knight-Commanders to receive the Power..."
"Well if you need to go inside the ship to heal..." Hairo picked up Marshal. "ITS IN YOU GO!" Hairo moved to carry Marshal inside the ship.
Marshal, despite Hairo's attempt to carry him, tried to walk with him as well. "It's not so much to heal, but to get to safety..."
"We can't abandon you here!" Hairo scolded.
"So they'll be back to find these, star morphers, and probably with more forces," Tenshi mused.
Jackson followed along, looking back to Tenshi, "Yeah... Hey, I'm Jax, by the way."
"The name's Tenshi." Tenshi caught up with the group.
"I AM HAIRO!" Hairo nearly yelled.
Upon reaching the cockpit of the relatively small spaceship, Marshal sat down, propping up his bad leg for a moment. "I suppose you're right... Tenshi? Yes, they will be back for the morphers. They have already captured the Dragon Starmorpher..."
"Then let us help you!" Hairo pleaded.
"Well, uh hi Hairo. You're a pretty adamant guy." Jackson said in response to Hairo's shouting. As they reached the cockpit, he spoke up again. "Uh hey, Marshal, what happened to that other guy that was with us? He seemed to just vanished. Along with that nasty looking chick."
Marshal frowned at Jax, shaking his head. "He was likely taken prisoner by Talira... She often takes male prisoners to toy with at her leisure, and discards them when she is no longer satisfied..." He then looked to Hairo. "Can you truly comprehend the risk that entails?"
"Oh...man." Jackson grew quiet.
"Can you comprehend the risk that comes with you trying to defend against these guys with a bad leg?"
Tenshi folded his arms and leaned against a nearby wall. "Well, if this really entails fighting a Galactic Empire, then I don't think even with the power of the morphers that all four of us would be able to stop them."
"We could barely fight like.. ten of them. I can't even imagine what a whole army would look like." Jackson agreed.
Marshal shook his head. "The morphers grant power like you could never believe... But I would warn you that such a task as this should not be sought lightly... You are more likely to live if you do not oppose the Empire..."
Jackson frowned and tightened a fist. He always knew he wanted to protect his country, but now that he was faced with such a grand opportunity, he was doubting himself.
"But if we don't oppose then what will stop them from taking our planet?" Hairo stared Marshal right in the eyes. "I'd rather die fighting for my planet then letting some freaky goth aliens take it over!"
"Hmph, Hairo has a point, what's stopping them from just enslaving all planets, ours included, I'm willing to take that chance if it protects our planet and millions like it." Tenshi added.
Jackson shook his head in frustration. "Yeah. It seems crazy...but let's do it. We've gotta do something about this."
Sighing, Marshal nodded as he pulled out a box from under the console, handing each of them a morpher. "Here... These are the Starmorphers. They will let you harness the power of the stars themselves..."
Hairo took one from the box. "Wicked..."
Tenshi took the morpher he was offered. "All this power, is contained within here?"
Jackson nodded as he was given his. "Hmm...these are kinda cool."
Marshal shook his head. "That power is contained in the Morphing Grid. The morpher simply lets you access it."
"How do we morph?" Hairo asked.
"Morphing grid, huh? Sounds extra cool. Yeah, do we just press a button?" Jackson questioned.
"Is it a phrase?" Tenshi continued.
"Both?" Hairo finished.
Marshal simply nodded. "Press the button, and call out "Star Squad, Power Up!", and you'll morph... You must remember, in order to protect your families, you should never reveal that you're a Power Ranger. And never morph unless Malix and his forces force you to."
Hairo nodded. "Alright then..."
Tenshi nodded. "Understood."
"Gotcha," Jackson replied.
Talira turned to look back at Ken. "Well, are you coming? You do need to go back down there, to get the morphers. They're in that spaceship... Oh, you might want to morph first... I believe the callsign is... "Star Squad, Power Up", but don't quote me on it."
Ken nodded and looked down at the morpher, finding a relatively large button and a small display, with few other options. "Alright, uh." Ken pressed the button "Star Squad, Power Up?" As Ken pressed the button, a large green star shape expanded out from the morpher before slamming into Ken, a green costume with bits of white and a star shape on the helmet forming.
Talira nodded, then led Ken into a room with a throne in it, upon which sat a man in black armor, with a gigantic sword near him. "What do you have there, sweetheart?" the man asked.
"Why, Daddy, I have my very own Power Ranger! You don't mind if I keep him, right?" Talira snuck a glance at Ken, motioning for him to remove his helmet. "Besides, if he's successful... He might just get lucky..." The princess gave Ken a wink.
Ken took off the helmet, blushing again Okay, alright. Those signals getting even more mixed.
The man in the dark armor nodded, slowly. "Yes... If he can succeed, perhaps I will spare him... I am Malix, the Galactic Emperor! Defeat the White Ranger, and bring me the Starmorphers, and you shall be spared."
Ken nodded. Oh well that's good...Wait, did he say spare? As in he would had killed me otherwise?! Guess I shouldn't fail then. Now Ken would never admit he was scared of this guy, but he would never say he wasn't, either.
"Now, go!" was all Malix said before sending Ken down to the crashed spaceship in another flash of lightning, with 20 Galactibots alongside him.
In a flash of lightning, Ken appeared in his green uniform, with 20 robots, outside the spaceship. As Ken and the Galactibots appeared, a warning alarm went off inside the ship.
"Uh oh!" Hairo exclaimed.
Marshal turned to look at a screen, frowning a bit. "We have company. Galactibots... And... No... They... they harnessed the power of the Dragon Starmorpher?!"
"Not even a minute and we already have our first crisis." Hairo muttered.
"Huh? An alarm? They've got a Dragon guy now? Isn't that the one they stole? Oh geez.." Jackson seemed worried.
"Well this is a fine pickle," Tenshi added.
"Alright. If I were to guess, I'd say these other morph things must be inside the giant crashed space ship," Ken stated.
Marshal sighed as he looked to the others. "They must have corrupted it somehow... It shouldn't be able to function for someone whose heart is filled with evil... Regardless, you must now protect the morphers, and stop the Galactibots, and anyone who fights in the Empire's name... And if you can reclaim the Dragon Starmorpher, you must try. But don't seek conflict, rangers... Go now, and may the power protect you."
"Protect and serve, got it. Looks like this mission is a go. Hoh boy," Jackson declared.
"Guess we'll need to learn our new powers on the fly," Tenshi said.
Marshal nodded. "I must rest... But I will stay with you on comms." He looked to Hairo. "In the field, you will lead, when I cannot. A clear chain of command is important."
Hairo nodded. "So let's head out then!"
Jax also nodded. "Alright, hoorah."
Tenshi nodded in agreement as well. "Alrighty then."
Ken started walking towards the crashed ship to find those morphers, checking out his suit as he did. I never knew spandex could make a man feel so powerful.
Marshal turned to look at the screen, praying that the fight would go well for the newly minted rangers...
Tenshi looked around at his new teammates. "We all ready?"
"I certainly am!" Hairo agreed.
Jackson nodded. "Yeah. Lets do it."
With that, Hairo headed out of the ship
Jackson followed Hairo out, psyching himself up for an "out of this world" battle.
Tenshi walked out alongside Hairo and Jax.
"Oh hey. We lucked out, those guys are bringing them to us." Ken snapped and pointed forward at the three. "Uh, alright then. Good job finding them and all that. Just uh, hand them over and we'll take 'em back to the Galactic Emperor."
Hairo looked at Ken. "I don't think that's an option."
"Huh? No man, you misunderstood. That's the only option here." Ken said calmly, like this was no big deal. "I got a chance to score with a 10/10 alien princess, and I'm uh, you know." Ken waved his arm up and down in front of his costume. "A mean green Ranger machine." He did a kick to show off, stumbling back a bit and almost falling.
Hairo crossed his arms as Ken almost fell doing that kick, clearly not impressed. "Those kicks... NEED PRACTICE!"
"Soo...you sold your planet out for a hot topic girl and some green spandex?" Jackson asked incredulously.
Tenshi blinked at Ken, baffled. "This is who they send?"
"Okay 1, hurtful. 2, I wouldn't say sold out my planet as much as that dude's a big emperor who's probably taking this place anyways. So I'd rather just be on the right side in that situation... Anyways, if you're not gonna hand them over peacefully..." Ken ranted from behind his helmet.
"Well, at least you're trying to see the big picture I guess..." Jackson mumbled to himself.
Ken decided to take that time while the three were unmorphed for a cheap shot, and tried to jump forward while kicking at Tenshi. "Hey robots! Deal with the other two would ya? I don't like this one. He's mean."
The attack landed squarely in Tenshi's chest "Prick."
"No, you," Ken retorted.
"TENSHI!" Hairo yelled in sorrow. "NOOOO!"
"Oh crap," Jackson interrupted.
"I will avenge you..." Hairo muttered. "Tenshi."
"I ain't dead," Tenshi replied stoically.
"I WILL AVENGE YOU!" Hairo repeated.
Tenshi looked at Hairo and Jax. "Morphin time?"
Jax nodded in response, as did Hairo.
Tenshi pressed the button on his morpher. "Star Squad, Power Up!" Now morphed, Tenshi went for a punch at Ken.
Hairo pressed the button on his morpher, striking a pose. "STAR SQUAD, POWER UP!" After he transformed, he jumped at the mooks, doing a spin kick into their midst, and managed to take down one of the mooks before it could get a shot off at the group with its blaster.
Ken swung at Tenshi at the same time, getting hit and groaning a bit as he was hit by the punch.
Tenshi, too, was hit by Ken's punch as his own connected.
Hairo looked at the other mooks and pointed at them, giving them all a thumbs down.
Jackson gazed at the scene before him, and then looked at his morpher. "Let's kick it!" He quickly pressed a button and shouted out. "Star Squad, Power Up!" while pointing towards the sky. After he morphed, and awkwardly looked down at his costume, he joined Hairo and attempted to strike a nearby mook with a kick. The mook vanished as Jax struck it, and the remaining mooks fired several shots at the pair of Hairo and Jax before switching to melee combat.
Hairo, Jax, and Tenshi, after a moment, could hear Marshal's voice in their ears. "Rangers! Call for your weapons; they'll aid you against your enemies! Star Squad Red; call for your Star Sword. Blue, call for your Star Lance. Black, call for your Star Bow."
"You got it!" Hairo tried to call upon the Star Sword, which appeared in his hands.
Ken attempted to kick rapidly at Tenshi, successfully, grinning under his helmet as he kicks at Tenshi a few times to keep him back.
As Hairo took out two mooks by slashing into them rapidly with his sword, he struck a pose as they fell down to the ground.
Upon hearing Marshal's words, Jax tried to focus his energy into his hands, as his Star Lance majestically appeared in them. "Sweet!" He charged forward into the group of Galactibots, valiantly holding out his Lance as he pierced through a few.
"Hey what the heck, why don't I have any cool weapon!" Ken moaned
"You haven't earned it!" Hairo exclaimed.
A voice could be heard from nowhere, clearly Talira's voice. "You fool! Use your Star Axe to demolish these fools and take their Starmorphers!"
"Star Axe. Right, GO!" Ken swiped his arm dramatically, summoning the Axe before leaping forward and swinging it down at Tenshi, landing behind him as the Axe produced bright sparks, bashing into Tenshi's side.
Tenshi summoned his Star Bow, trying to fire an arrow at Ken, but missed as the axe hit his side.
Hairo tried to throw his sword like a boomerang at the mooks. "My sword knows no bounds to you robots!" Hairo said as the swords took out the two mooks, landing squarely in the second one's chest. "I'll take the rest of you out when I get back my blade!" Hairo said, pointing to the rest of the mooks.
Jax tried to spin while holding out his Lance, hoping to hit some 'bots that might have surrounded him, all cool-like. "HHHAAaaaahh!" Jax let out as he spun wildly, knocking out four mooks, and then tried to stop and catch himself from falling over, accidentally posing in the process. "Whew, yeah that's right!"
Ken swung at Tenshi with a large swipe of his axe at the same time as he was being attacked, getting knocked back while knocking Tenshi back.
Tenshi aimed an arrow at Ken, hitting him while getting hit by Ken's axe.
Hairo ran and grabbed his blade before trying to slide under some mooks and cut into their legs. As he slid past the two mooks, cutting them down with his sword, he spun on the ground into a pose, giving a thumbs-up as the two mooks behind him sparked up and exploded.
Ken spins around wildly, swinging his axe. As Jackson charged in to help Tenshi, he leapt into the air to strike Ken with his lance, but was smacked away by Ken's axe. "Agh, crap." Before Ken could make contact with his axe again, he got shot and knocked back a bit by Tenshi.
Hairo jumped in the air and threw his sword into the last mook before landing down on it and pulling his blade out. "That's the last of them."
Marshal's voice rang in the three rangers' ears again. "Rangers! The Star Sword, the Star Lance, and the Star Bow can combine to form an even more powerful weapon!"
"Those mooks did NOT last long," Ken complained.
"Ow..what? Like...morphing our weapons? That sounds sweet," Jackson offered.
"You got it!" Hairo ran to the others. "I'M COMING TO HELP!"
Marshal sighed. "Not exactly, but I guess you could say that. The Star Blaster is the most powerful tool in our arsenal, but it's at its most effective when all 5 combine."
Ken knelt down before jumping up, spinning around through the air and bashing down his axe into Jax, trying to knock him back a bit. "Blue is a lame color!"
Jax was sent flying back a bit with an audible announcement of pain, as he conveniently landed right in front of his group. "Geez, that hurt more mentally than physically. I like blue!"
"Well I'm sorry man, you're just objectively wrong and have terrible taste," Ken stated matter-of-factly.
"But it takes blue to make green," Tenshi pointed out.
Jax held his helmet and nodded.
"You have a good bark as well as a good bite! Why do you insist on fighting us?!" Hairo yelled to Ken.
"I'll answer when you learn some volume control pal," Ken retorted.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY PERFECTLY CALM AMD CARING VOICE?!" Hairo shouted, insulted.
"Ow my ears," Ken whined.
"MY VOICE IS BUTTER TO THE EARS!" Hairo yelled back.
Tenshi put a hand on Hairo's head. "Red, calm it down."
Jax shook his head as he scrambles to his feet. "Guys, we should do the weapon thing Marshal told us about!"
"We end this..." Hairo declared, "NOW!"
"Agreed! Let's end it! My final attack versus yours!" Ken responded.
"Let us combiiiiiiiiiiine!"
Ken bent back his axe arm, preparing for them to do whatever they were doing. As the weapon came together, the Star Bow attached to the blade of the Star Sword, and the Star Lance split into two to attach to the Star Bow, energy charging in the weapon. Ken stood there, pulling back his axe like a baseball bat. As soon as it launches. The second it does... he thought. "Ready for this? I'm about to unleash my most powerful secret technique!"
When the weapon finished fully charging, a huge blast of energy shot forward at Ken, ready to strike him down.
"GO, ULTIMATE TECHNIQUE!" Ken turned, his axe disappearing as he hopped up into the air. "I had a handicap, next time I'll win! Go secret move, RUN AWAY!" In a flash of lightning, Ken disappeared right before the attack could strike him.
Marshal's voice sounded over the comms, relieved. "Good work, rangers. Looks like I was right to grant you three the Power. You did good. Now, it's time to return to your daily lives, and wait for the call to rise against the next threat."
"Whew" Jax said as he dropped to his knees, demorphing in the process. "Well...that was a pretty wild ride."
"WE ARE VICTORIOUS!" Hairo yelled as he demorphed.
"Woooo," Jax said in relief, as Tenshi demorphed and fell face first into the ground. Jax sighed. "Same, Tenshi. C'mon, we gotta help him up. He was getting the worst of it."
"I got kicked in the gut before I even morphed," Tenshi complained.
"We will improve from this battle!" Hairo said confidently. "Next time! We will be stronger!" With that, Hairo moved to pick up Tenshi.
Jax also tried to help Tenshi up, while listening to Hairo shout very excitedly. "Yeah, heck we were better than I expected, hehe... So uh...what now?"
"We go for a victory drink" Hairo responded.
"Whelp, just as long as our new leader is buying, hah!" Jackson replied with a laugh.
"Yes, haha!" Hairo laughed back.
"I'm down if that's the case." Tenshi got up with the help of Jax and Hairo.
"TO THE JUICE BAR!" Hairo shouted, pointing to the sky.
"Let's go!" Jax exclaimed.
As Ken returned from below, Malix watched him carefully. "I don't see any new Starmorphers in your possession! You failed!"
Talira piped up suddenly, almost looking sad. "Oh, please, Daddy, don't hurt my favorite toy!"
Oh God I failed, Ken thought as Malix said that before Talira spoke up. Oh thank God I'm not gonna die.
Malix grumbled as he motioned for Ken and Talira to leave. "Oh, alright, sweetheart... But don't fail me again, Green Ranger!"
My dashing good looks and amazing luck have saved me ag- Ken started thinking, but stopped when he heard Malix. "Y-Yes sir!" Short term saved me again. Gotta succeed next time.
Talira nodded, leading Ken out of the room before berating him endlessly as the scene faded to black...
On the next episode of Power Rangers: Star Squad! Arbor Bay is under attack by the devious Nebulord, who separates the rangers and forces them to learn the true meaning of teamwork.
