Location: Kyoto City, Japan
Date: November 10, 2012
Time: 5:30 PM
We join our Japanese friend taking a nap in bed. He has to wake up early tomorrow in order to get to the airport in time. You see, Link has to move to America as his father found a job there. His family, which consists of him, his father, his mother, and a dog named Cat, have to go with his father. They found an apartment in a suburb in Florida. Now, let's take a look into his dream, shall we?
Link is dreaming about saying goodbye to all of his friends at his school. Surprisingly, his ex was also a friend. There is a girl that he tries to say goodbye to, but cannot. She says the word for him. Suddenly, human-sized, monstrous figures start attacking the school. Everyone runs away except for Link and the girl. "Masou run!" Link yells at the girl. "No." She answers. "I don't want to run. I want to fight." After a few seconds of thinking and staring at each other, Link finally says, "Ikozuuuuuu!" And they begin fighting. They easily defeat the figures just by hitting the 'Z' symbol on their chestplate.
Another monster appears, this time, more menacing than the others. "Must've been foot soldiers." Masou observes. They try to fight the monster, but are overpowered by it. The monster kills Masou with just one single stab in the back with its sword. Link gets angry. "TEMEEEEEEE!" He charges at the monster, but the monster kills him too.
The dream isn't over yet. Link ends up in a white void. "Osu? Masou? Mama? Papa?" He yells/asks to see if anyone else is there. A floating head appears to him. "Hello Link." The head says. Link gets scared and loses his balance. "Nandayo!" He yells. "Relax. I am an ally." The head continues. "How am I supposed to trust you?" Link asks. "By listening to what I have to say. I am an intergalactic being known as Zordon." "The original mentor of the original Power Rangers?"
"Yes. How did you know?"
"I'm 1/16th Vietnamese."
"Oh. I did not know that. Now, a few months ago there was a war against Galactic Emperor Zedd. He was from an alternate dimension. He attacked the Earth, and all the ranger teams used their powers up to stop his forces."
"I heard."
"Good to know that everyone heard it. Now, all their powers were transferred into flash drives. In reality, the treasure chest you found in your room is being filled with the flash drives. You shouldn't let these fall into the wrong hands."
'What do you mean wrong hands? Zedd's army was destroyed."
"Or so we thought. You see, that was only a small part of his army. The bigger army is coming back. Zedd has even upgraded his foot soldiers a tad bit. Those were the monsters you saw in your dream."
"So wait, he was invading my dream?"
"Yes. He knows what I'm planning, so if he kills you in your dream, you die in real life."
"Why didn't he just get Freddy Krueger?"
"He is a fictional character."
"Oh yes. So, you saved me from my dream death then. Why?"
"I am entrusting you with these flash drives, but I am also entrusting you with 5 new Power Morphers. This planet needs a new team of rangers. Find the right people for the job. They will become the Power Rangers Universe. Godspeed."
"But wait! Why me?"
"The time will come."
An alarm goes off. It's Link's alarm clock. He looks at it. it's 9:30 PM. He sees the treasure chest glowing, and he checks it out. Like Zordon said, there were 5 Power Morphers and an abundance of flash drives each representing an individual veteran ranger. Link realized that this was not a dream. Zedd is coming back. "Rinku!" A woman's voice calls. "We are going!" "Coming mama!" He grabs the box and puts his shoes on. He dashes out the door to the cab to the airport.

Time: 7:20 AM
After going through an enrollment process to get into his cousin's school, Link was finally accepted. Right now, he was on the bus next to Casey. "Don't be stressed out about it, man." Casey tells him. "What if they make fun of my accent?" Link asks. "They will. You know why? Because they think people with accents different to theirs is cool." "Really?" "No. They'll just make fun of you because you're different. But that happens in most schools."
They arrive at Benquill High at 7:30. They enter the school, and Casey introduces Link to her friends John, Mikey, Danni, and David. "Guys, this is my cousin." She says. "Harro. My name is Hayate Rinku." Link introduces. "First name goes first in America." Casey reminds him. "Oh, right. I'm Rinku Hayate." "Nice to meet you Link. I'm John Smith. Yes, that's my real name." John shakes Link's hand. "I'm David Cardenas. Don't worry dude, you'll be fine here." He outs his arm around Link's shoulders. "The way I see it, things will look up." "I'm Mikael Wesley. Most people call me Mikey." "No advice?" Link asks. "They pretty much said the things I wanted to say." "I'm Danni Lasen. Nice to meet you." She hugs Link. "Uhh." "She's a hugger." Casey tells him. "I can tell." Danni stops hugging him. "Hey, we're going to the cafeteria for breakfast. School starts at 8 anyway. Wanna come?" John asks. "Nah. I think I might find my crass so I know where it is rocated." Link asks. "I'm going to go alone. See you later." "Bye." They go their separate ways.
Once Link locates his class, he runs into trouble. He gets pinned to a wall before he can enter the class. "You're new around here, aren't you?" The guy who pinned him asks. Link nods. "I'm Mark. Mark Tambermale. Some people say that I'm the most badass teen in this school. Stay outta my way, and you'll do fine." Mark says. "Uhhh." Is all Link can say. "I'm gonna let you off easy. Prepare to be used as a battering ram to open this door!" "What kind of easy is that?" "Oh, you have a funny accent. You're foreign, aren't you? I'm gonna go easier on you. Battering ram for this window!" Link screams and Mark charges. "Hey!" A voice calls. They turn around to see John, Mikey, Casey, Danni, and David.
"Let him go." John says. "Make me." Mark taunts. Casey steps up. "Let him go." Mark lets Link go. "Why do you care so much about him?" He asks Casey. "Because he's my cousin." She answers. "Oh. Well. Sorry for that kid. Gotta run!" Mark runs away. "And this is why you'll do fine." David says. They hear screaming. "That's Mark." David says. They run to Mark to see him being attacked by the foot soldiers from Link's dream. "They overpowered me. How can this happen?" He asks. "You ran away from a girl. I think this was bound to happen." Casey tells him. "For now, run. Everyone get to class. We'll take them." John says. Everyone runs while John, Casey, Mikey, David, Danni, and Link stay.
They fight the Z Putties. Three of them try to take Link's backpack, but he roundhouse kicks them. "What's so important in your backpack that they might want it?" Mikey asks. "A treasure chest!" Link yells. "What's in it?" Danni asks. Once all the Z Putties were defeated, Link shows them the treasure chest. "What's inside?" David asks. Zordon's voice comes to Link's mind. "Give it to them. They have the potential. Tell them to yell out, 'It's Morphin time!' when they morph." Link nods and opens the chest to reveal the Power Morphers.
"These look like the Power Morphers the original Power Rangers used to defeat Rita and Zedd." David says. "They are, but they are not." Link tells them. "What do you mean?" Casey asks. "He means that these Power Morphers hold powers to a new ranger team, and he's trusting us to be that new team." David answers. "How did you know?" Link asks. "I'm a child prodigy. I can figure things out pretty fast." "Come to think of it, weren't those Zedd's Z Putties?" John asks. "Yeah, and what about that war?" Mikey asks. "Can we discuss this over runch?" Link asks. They agree and go to class.
Time: 12:05 PM
Location: Cafeteria
"So, what about the war and the Z Putties?" John asks. "Zedd is back. That was but a small army that the vetelans fought. He is coming back to take over. Those putties were just a warning. Zordon entrusted me with these morphers and these powers to defend Earth against Zedd." Link explains. "Then why us?" David asks. "Because, you were the only ones to stay and fight the Z Putties. now, will you accept these powers?" Link asks. ''If it's to put an end to Zedd, yes." David says. "We can't let these people be enslaved or killed. Count me in." Mikey seconds. "The Power Rangers are the world's only hope against him. And if no one else can do it, we can." Casey continues. "For the good of this planet, I'm in." Danni says. "Well, since you trust us enough, I'm joining too." John finishes. "Yatta!" Link yells and stands up with his fist in the air. The whole cafeteria becomes silent and stares at him. "Solly." He apologizes as he sits down.
Location: A Palace on the Moon
"Ahh the moon!" A voice yells. "I haven't been here since the 90s!" A figure, who is assumed to be the owner of the voice, opens the palace doors and sits on the throne. It is revealed to be Galactic Emperor Zedd. "Now, let's see how Earth is handling my attack on that one school." He uses his eyes as a telescope and looks around the school and sees that Link is alive, and 5 teens are holding the Power Morphers. "No! Zordon must have saved him from his dream. That's why he disappeared off of Scotmonster's sword! now, there is a new team of Power Rangers about to rise up! But wait, how good are they? I should send a monster just in case. Now what do I make a monster out of?" He searches around the school. "This is going to take a long time."
Location: Benquill Park
Time: 3:20 PM
John and Mikey teach themselves MMA while everyone else finishes up their homework. "I think Shakespeare was a great writer. Sure, his stories were sad, but they were so well described and much better than this one that makes him a great writer." David starts. "I don't know." John disagrees as he dodges a kick from Mikey. "I'm not one for sad stories." "We're not even debating on Shakespeare in Debate Class." Casey points out. "What are we debating?" Link asks. "School lunches and stuff. You better be careful, Link. Some people say I'm a Master Debater." Danni proudly quips. Everyone starts laughing. "What?" She asks. Casey whispers in Danni's ear. "Oh." Danni blushes.
Suddenly, 7 Z Putties and a giant mobile phone from the 80s appear. "hello Power Beats. I am the Radiator, and I work for Galactic Overlord Zedd." The phone speaks. "I thought he was a Galactic Emperor." Casey remarks. "He's a Galactic Overlord now!" "Well aren't you mad?" "Putties, attack!" 'Aim for the Z!" John yells. "Ikou!" Link yells.
The Z Putties attack the six. John flips one over and hits its Z, Mikey just punches another in the face and hits its Z, David literally kicks the one he's fighting's ass, Danni bonks two Putties' heads together, and Casey kicks the one she's up against in the balls. Nothing happens. "Oh, a girl one, eh?" Casey asks. She then proceeds to randomly kick, punch, and slap the hell out of the Putty until it is destroyed. The last Putty tries to steal the treasure chest, but Link flips over the picnic table and whacks the Putty in the Z with his Chemistry textbook. The Putty is destroyed. "Oh, you've finished? Great! Now we can get this show on the road!" The Radiator exclaims. "Guys, morph!" Link yells. "What do we have to say in order to morph?" David asks. "It's morphin time!" Link yells. "Alright guys. It's Morphin Time!" They thrust their morphers in front of them and transform into the Power Rangers! "The Power Rangers Universe have allived!" Link yells.
"Universe White!" David yells. His costume is white, save for the visor. The visor is in the shape of a pair of goggles. His helmet has a giant "W" on top of the visor with Roman Numeral 1 on the sides of the helmet. The same Roman Numeral appears on the top part of the suit.
"Universe Purple!" Danni yells. Her costume but her visor is purple. Her visor is in the shape of a heart. There is a giant "P" on top of the visor with Roman Numeral 2 on the sides of the helmet. Roman Numeral 2 appears on the top part of her suit. There is a skirt involved too.
"Universe Blue!" Casey exclaims. Everything but her visor is light blue. Her visor is in the shape of an upside down heart with 2 horns on top and two on the bottom. On the sides of her helmet and on the top part of her suit is Roman Numeral 3. She also has a skirt.
"Universe Yellow!" Just like the others, the only thing that isn't yellow is Mikey's helmet's visor, which is in the shape of an upside down cat. His Roman numeral is 4. I think you can guess where the numerals are.
"Universe Red!" I think you can guess who yelled this one out. John's suit is like the others except in red and his visor is in the shape of a video game controller. It's a cross between an SNES controller and a PS2 controller. His Roman Numeral is 5.
"Power Rangers Universe!" They yell and pose.
"How pleasant. Now, give me your best shot." The Radiator taunts. The Rangers charge at him while Link watches in the background. They hit the buttons on his body, and he gets weakened each and every time they hit the buttons. They dogpile on him, and he throws them off. "Hey look! Laser guns!" David observes. "You thinkin' what I'm thinkin?" John asks. "How good music is being thrown away by bad music?" David asks. "No! Let's use the guns." John orders. "Right." Everyone else agrees. They grab their laser guns from their holsters and shoot the giant phone. "Sorry, but this call has ended!" John yells. An end call button magically appears on The Radiator, and John pushes it. The Radiator falls to the ground and explodes.
"L O L at Michael Bay style explosion." David text speaks.
Location; Zedd's Palace
"Curses! I'll get you Power Brats. Now if only I remembered the enlarging spell so that I can make this monster grow." Zedd yells. "Ugh. I hate when space-time travel messes with your head."
Location: Casey's Floor in the Apartment Building
Time: 5:40 PM
The Rangers and Link are celebrating their first victory...with some gyoza. "Link, this is the best gyoza I've ever tasted in my life." Danni smiles and hugs him. "Thank you. I rearned from the best. My dad is a chef." Link explains. Zordon appears on the TV Screen. "Rangers. And Link. Nice to meet you." He says. "AHH GIANT FLOATING HEAD ON CASEY'S TV SCREEN." David screams. "Relax David. I am Zordon. I'm pretty sure that you all know who I am." They all nod their heads. "How are you alive?" Mikey asks. "Zedd messed with the timestream, and he accidentally brought me back to life just days after the Space Rangers saved the galaxy." Zordon answers. "Now, you five must follow the 3 basic rules of being a Power Ranger." "What are they?" Casey asks.
"1. Never use your power for personal gain
2. Never escalate a battle unless Zedd or any villain forces you to.
3. Keep your identities a secret; no one may know that you are a Power Ranger."
The 5 Rangers turn to Link. "He is an exception." Zordon says. "Will you all be able to follow these rules?" "We can try." David tells the intergalactic being. "Fair enough. Good luck with Zedd, Power Rangers." "But wait, Zordon!" Link yells. "Yes?" "Why did you entrust me with the flash drives that hold the veteran rangers' powers?" "Your answer will come in due time. Now, before I forget, these are your communicators." Wrist-watch like devices appear on the 6 teens' wrists. "If there is any trouble regarding Zedd, I will use these to contact you. You can also use these to contact each other, but with cellphones, we're just keeping that feature just in case."
"Alright Zordon. You can trust us to defend the Earth." John exclaims. "Why?" Danni asks. Mikey smirks. "Because we're the..." John answers. Everyone but Link yells, "Power Rangers!" "And Rinku." Link says.
