Zordon is seen focusing on his thoughts. His eyes are closed. His eyes open abruptly. "Why didn't I see this before?" He asks himself. "I have to contact Yuusuke."
Location: Benquill Park
Time: 2:45 PM
Date: June 16, 2013
It's the annual Benquill Father's Day Festival at the park. Everyone is enjoying the festival with their fathers. Everyone except our hero in red, John Smith. He was adopted at an early age by a, then young, lesbian couple. He holds a picture of his two mothers. "Mom, mom, thank you for raising me. Happy belated Mother's Day. I wish I wished you that on Mother's Day."
He puts the picture in his pocket, rubs his eyes, and gets up. He somberly walks to the exit of the park. He looks at his friends who are having fun with their dads. Water balloon fights, BBQs, watching the girls in the water balloon fights while eating BBQ. He cracks a bittersweet smile and heads out.
He sighs. "If only I knew my real father. The only thing that I remember him by is the color red. Which is why I always wear red. Earned the nickname 'Red' because of it." He acts as though someone's talking to him. He keeps walking away from the park.
After a few more minutes, he finally makes it to his apartment building. He is about to open the door, but someone stops him. How? Well, that person yells, "Matte!" John turns to see Yuusuke Amamiya, Red Falcon of Choujuu Sentai Liveman.
"Yuusuke, what are you doing here?"
"Zordon said that I have to see you. Why aren't you at the Father's Day Festival with everyone else?"
"I don't have a father. At least, I hope I do. I just don't remember him. All I have to remember him by is the fact that I wear red everyday. I wanna meet him some day."
"I know how you feel. I haven't had a son to celebrate Father's Day with for the past 12 years."
"What happened to him?"
"No idea. I was fighting alongside the Gaoranger when I lost him."
"Did your wife tell you what happened?"
"Stabbed in the heart with a sword."
"I'm sorry."
Location: Thrax's Palace
"Oh, Red Rangers are getting angsty about Father's Day? I should do something to impress my father. But what?" Thrax ponders. "Yo, Thrax! My father's here!" A voice yells. It's Sam. "Thrax, meet my father, Dan Reginald." Sam introduces an evil, sinister looking creature. Eyes were orange, teeth were sharp. It held a sword.
"Uhh, that's your father?"
"He had a human form when he was with my mother."
"Ah."
"Say, young Thrax, what might you be doing as of now?" Mr. Reginald asks. "I'm just spying on some of those pesky power brats while thinking of what to do to impress my father." Thrax answers.
"May I?"
"Go right ahead." Mr. Reginald looks through the telescope to see John and Yuusuke. "Amamiya." Mr. Reginald scornfully says. He turns to Thrax."I think I can help you get rid of those rangers."
"How?" Thrax and Sam ask.
Location: Outside John's apartment building
Time: 3:05 PM
"You should go have fun with your friends now." Yuusuke tells John. "Eh?" John asks.
"Have fun with your friends while you still can. You never know when death comes along."
"What do you mean?"
"Long story from a long time ago."
John's communicator beeps. "Go." "There's trouble at the park. Thrax hired someone instead of making a monster. Now, the monster is kidnapping the fathers. The others are already trying to save them." Zordon tells him.
"Understood."
"Ikou."
They run to the park.
Location: Benquill Park
Time: 3:10 PM
They duo of red arrive at the scene. They are nearly run over by hoards of women and children running for their lives. They see the other rangers fighting the monster while trying to protect their fathers. They're doing this unmorphed to protect their identities.
"Unmorphed or morphed?" John asks. "Morphed." Yuusuke answers.
"It's Morphin Time."
"Reddo Farukon."
They transform into a Power Ranger and a Sentai warrior. The two reds jump into the action. "Run, now!" Yuusuke yells. "But what about my son?" Mr. Wesley asks. "We'll escort them to safety. The other rangers will be here soon. For now, run!"
The fathers run with Yuusuke. Link, on the other hand, walks out of a Porta-John. He sees the fathers running. "Nani?" He looks at the monster. Link screams in fear and shuts the door again. He sets it to occupied.
John runs to the other rangers. "Run, get out of here!" John yells. The rangers run and come back morphed. They then fight the monster. "Who are you?" Mikey asks. "I am..." The monster introduces. "Danreg!" A voice yells from behind. It's Yuusuke.
"Yuusuke Amamiya. How nice to see you again."
"Do you two know each other?" David asks. "Old friend." Yuusuke answers. "What are you doing here?" "To capture the fathers of this town in order to power up Thrax and my son Sam's new weapon. It doesn't have a name yet, but it will destroy this planet."
"You're Sam's dad?" Danni asks. "Yes. Isn't he a wonderful boy? You should date him." Mr. Reginald answers. "Eww no!"
She slashes Danreg with her Universe Sword. John shoots him with his Universe Blaster, but then is thrown to a tree. "John!" The other rangers rush to him. "Ah, you're John. My, my how you've grown. I haven't seen you for 12 years." "12 years? This is the first time we met."
"Oh no no. We've met years before when you were still friends with Sam. Tell him, Yuusuke."
"Tell him what?"
"How he's your son."
"Eh?" John yells.
"What?" The other rangers shout.
"Nani?" Yuusuke asks.
Link bursts out of the Porta-John. "NANDAYO?" "Oh, Rinku! There you are! You have to lun!" Links father arrives with the other fathers. "Ah, there's more. Let me take them." Danreg presses a button on his armor and it starts to work as a vacuum. Link jumps in front of the fathers, but Mr. Hayate pushes him down and lets himself and the other fathers get sucked up.
"Dad!" Danni yells.
"Papa!" David yells.
"Pops!" Mikey yells.
"Father!" Casey yells.
"Otosan!" Link yells.
"Now, where were we? Oh right. YOU. ARE. THE. FATHER!" Danreg yells. "Hey," Casey shouts, "Jerry Springer! What did you do with our fathers?"
"I sent them to Thrax's punishment dimension. Their energy will be sucked out from them and into the weapon to power it! I shall take my leave now. Ta ta!" Yuusuke tries to attack him, but Danreg/Mr. Reginald teleports away.
Location: John's Apartment
Time: 3:25 PM
"Well, this is an eventful Father's Day." Casey observes. "Well, at least I'm a father again." Yuusuke sips tea. "And I'm a son again!" John happily yells. Danni hits him. "Why are you so cheery? Our fathers are being slowly killed to power a weapon that could destroy the world!" "Oh yes, right. First, I wanna catch up with my father."
"Alright. We'll just sit and listen."
"What do you mean again? What about your mothers?" Yuusuke asks. "Died a week before Mother's Day." John sadly answers. "I'm sorry. So, what can you remember before we got separated?"
"Well. not much. Apparently, I used to be friends with Sam Reginald." John answers. "Oh."
"Oh?"
"Oh. I remember some things."
"Please share."
Flashback
"I remember Sam's dad coming to our house while you were out at your dead friends' graves."
At a house in Japan, a young John Amamiya and his mother, Lisa Allen-Amamiya are making lunch. A knock is heard from the door. Lisa answers it. It is Mr. Reginald in his human form. They greet each other before Mr. Reginald's eyes glow blood red, and he turns into his monster form, Danreg.
"I don't know why, but he took his sword out and started fighting me and my mom, your wife."
Lisa grabs a sword from a case and starts fighting Danreg. Danreg aims to slice John's head off, but he dodges. He grabs a wooden sword and starts hitting Danreg. Danreg is injured with many splinters. He pushes Lisa out of the way, holds his sword above John, and swings down.
John closes his eyes, and someone screams. Lisa took the sword to the heart. She and the sword fall to the ground.
"He would've killed me if mom hadn't saved me."
Danreg, enraged, poses in the "stop" formation. An energy ball opens.
"He then opened a ball of purple energy and threw me into it. Everything went black."
"Then, I woke up in an orphanage's infirmary with my head badly injured."
"You're okay now." Is what one of the nuns said to me. Apparently, she found me against the building. Blood coming from my skull. She and the doctors gave me the proper treatment. I couldn't remember a lot of things from the past years of my life from then.
"I remember coming back to the house. I found your mother dead, and I clashed swords with Danreg. He left after I injured him."
"What a coward." Mikey scoffs. "Well, now that some of the important business is taken care of, we have to find out how we can save our fathers."
Zordon appears. "I've searched through dimensions to find them." "Did you find them?" David asks.
"Yes. But I can not free them."
"Why?"
"It requires brute force. Perfect for all 6 of you. Link, I am sending you the coordinates to teleport them there."
"Yoshaa!" Link hops on to his computer to view the dimension. "It seems rike it's 1,2,34,AB, squared."
"I will try my best to keep the dimensional gap open long enough for you to get in there and escape."
"Thank you Zordon. Let's do this morphed. We don't want your fathers finding out." John says. They nod.
"It's Morphin Time!"
"Reddo Farukon!"
Location: Vacuum Dimension
Time: Non-Existent
The fathers are hard at work breaking rocks. This makes them lose more energy. The fathers of the rangers already tried escaping, but they found no way out. We see David's father stop breaking rocks. He drops his pickaxe to the ground. It lands on his foot. He does not feel pain as he is wearing steel toed boots.
He crosses his arms and stands there. "Oi! Jorge-kun!" Link's father whispers. "Why alen't you doing anything?" "Because, Daisuke, I have a family to get back to. I'm not going to be here and get my life energy taken away from me. I have to go back to my family and enjoy my special day with them." Jorge Cardenas answers.
Casey's dad drops his pickaxe. "He's right, Niisan." "Kai! Don't terr me!"
"I don't want to die here. I don't want to die. Not yet."
"You'rr die if you alll caught! You'le going to die either way!"
"Yeah? Well I want to die fighting instead of a slow death by getting my life energy sucked out of me."
Mikey and Danni's dads join in the conversation. "They're both right Daisuke." Mikey's dad tells him. "Would you rather die knowing that your life energy will be used to destroy this planet or die with your family during the planet's demise?" Danni's dad asks.
"Tim! Farukner!" Daisuke thinks about it. "So ka. I'mu not going to do this wolk! I want my famuree to rive on this puranet! I'mu not going to destuloy it when my famuree wirr die!"
"That's the spirit, niisan!" The other fathers join in the revolt as well. Danreg appears. "Humans! You would rather save your family's lives rather than your own? How foolish of you."
"That's what it means to be a family. We die together, not alone." Jorge says. "Very well then." Danreg disappears. Lightning bolts flash from all across the room. The fathers scream.
All of a sudden, six colored light rays appear. "It's the Power rangers!" Falkner yells. "Everyone! Get on board our megazord!" John yells. "That rhymes." David laughs. The megazord appears. The rangers help the fathers in. The rangers hop inside and the megazord teleports away.
Location: Benquill Park
Time: 3:59 PM
The megazord arrives in Benquill Park, and the fathers exit. The megazord and the rangers disappear.
The kidnapped fathers go to their families. After a half hour of reuniting, the Father's Day Festival starts again. There were water balloon fights, barbecues, watching girls in the water balloon fights while eating barbecue.
Yep. Everything was great. It seemed like nothing could stop their happiness.
Then, Danreg and a whole lot of Z Putties and Super Z Putties arrive. "Humans! Prepare to be destroyed!" Danreg yells. "You're human too, remember?" Yuusuke asks. "Not entirely Amamiya! Attack!"
Instead of running, the families stay and fight. "Whaa? Why aren't you running away?" Daisuke yells, "Nothing is going to luin oul happiness with oul famuress!"
Jorge stands up after being knocked to the ground by a Super Z Putty. "We're staying and fighting! To protect our families and our home!"
Kai puts his hand on Daisuke's shoulder. "Yeah. We're not going to let you conquer the Earth with the rest of your empire."
Falkner Lasen punches a Z Putty in the Z with his daughter. "We will stop you!"
Tim Wesley takes the stage. "At least, until the Power Rangers come along." Everyone agrees.
"Have it your way." Danreg says. He fires explosives at them. Everyone falls to the ground. Link energetically gets up. "MINNA-SAN! CAN YOU STAND UP?" He yells. They all stand up. "That answers your question then." David tells him.
"I think the Powel Langels can hander it fulom heel! For now, run!" Link points to the entrance. "Run minna-san!" He runs with the families. The 5 rangers and the one Liveman run to Danreg and the other small fry. Okay, a few feet away.
"It's Morphin time!"
"Reddo Farukon!"
Yuusuke is scanned and his costume appears.
The five rangers are in the dark void. Their bodies are glowing. Two X's are sent flying in front of them and back. The first X forms their suits while the second X forms their helmets.
David jumps and kicks the air when he lands. "Universe White!"
Danni bows like a princess. "Universe Purple!"
Casey balls up her fists and punches the air. "Universe Blue!"
Mikey crosses his arms. "Universe Yellow."
John facepalms his helmet. "Universe Red!"
"Power Rangers Universe!"
"Reddo Farukon! I am a member of Choujuu Sentai, Liveman!"
"Yosha!" Link yells. He is then attacked by Z Putties. He fights them off while the rangers and warrior fight the Super Z Putties.
After a few minutes of fighting, the rangers transform into Power rangers Thunder Star. "Thunder Rod!" Mikey yells. They use the Thunder Rods to fight them off. They then transform into the Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers to use the ninja techniques.
A Super Z Putty hits Casey. Sorta. A scarecrow falls. "I guess that's what they call a Substitution Technique." She says. She turns to her opponent. She unsheathes her sword. "Say bye!" She slashes it and it is destroyed. Danni uses the Flying Origami Technique to defeat 5 Super Z Putties.
John is having some trouble with his hoard of Super Z Putties. He gets demorphed back to his Universe suit and is grabbed by one of them. "Raiburasutā!" Yuusuke yells. The blasts get John out of the grasp of the SZP. "Ready for this?" John asks. "Of course I am." Yuusuke Answers.
"Universe Blaster!"
"Raiburasutā!"
"Father-Son Blast Attack!"
They shoot and the Super Z Putties are destroyed. David helps Link out. "May I bollow the swordu?" Link asks. "Sure." David hands him the Black Aquitar Ranger's sword. "Sebai!" Link yells. He skillfully takes down the Z Putties. "Sweet." David says. Link gives David the sword back. "I'm gonna get something to eat." Link tells David before he runs off.
The rangers join up with each other. "Last batch!" The Super Z Putties appear. "Let's use Megaforce's Attack Cards to finish them off!" David suggests. They take out the the Megaforce Ranger Flash Drives. The flashes of black and yellow from before appear again and steal the flash drives.
"Nani?" Yuusuke asks. The flashes are revealed to be teens not unlike the Universe rangers. 3 other teens appear. The teens have jackets on. The colors are red, pink, black, yellow, and blue. "We'll be taking these now." The one in red says.
A/N: Who are these teens, and why did they steal the Megaforce Ranger Flash Drives? This question will be answered in the next episode of Power Rangers Universe! That's a first.
