Episode 547: Tales of Gabriel: Samurai

September 2030

On Mirinoi, the Skyship flies away into space as the Megaforce and their children head off on their next adventure. Gabriel appears

"Hey Gabriel" said Troy

"Where's Noah?" Gabriel asked

"He's in his room" said Jake "and he only comes out to eat"

"He'll let you know what he's up to soon enough" said Gabriel "you just have to trust him. Now it is time for another story. The Ancient Rangers were in Heaven, waiting for the Son to provide them with the tools from their latest mission…"

In Heaven, the Son infused five paint brushes with energy. Each one glows a different color, red, blue, green, yellow, and pink. He does the same with five discs. He then infuses five shapes with energy, the shapes being a pentagon, a hexagon, a rectangle, a triangle, and a circle. He places the brushes into one box, the discs into another, and the the shapes into another, giving them to Michael, Jonas, and Seth respectively

"Go to Japan" said the Son "find five brave heroes and give them these brushes. Each of them are infused with Symbol Power, which is connected to the Morphing Grid. They will allow them to draw kanji to fight. They will know what to do with the discs and shapes. Now go, Xandred and his Nighlok are attacking" and the Rangers teleport away

In Japan, the Rangers arrived disguised as civilians, watching to see who would stand up to the Moogers. A man wearing green runs up with a spear and strikes a Mooger. Another Mooger tries to hit from behind and a woman wearing yellow throws a shuriken at him. Another Mooger attacks her and a man wearing blue shoots an arrow at it. A Mooger attacks a woman wearing pink and she hits it with her fan. The four young adults attack the Moogers and destroy them all. All of a sudden, a monster and several more Moogers appear. The four try to fight them, but can't beat them. Another young man, wearing red, runs up with a sword and destroys the Moogers. The five try to fight the monster, but fail. Michael blasts the monster, knocking it out

"Who are you?" the man in blue asked

"You can call me Michael" said Michael "the Lord is impressed by your courage and wants to give you the weapons to fight these monsters"

"What weapons?" the woman in pink asked

"These" said Michael and he opens his box, revealing the brushes "are your Samurai Brushes"

"But they're only brushes" said the man in green

"The brush is mightier than the sword" said Seth and Jonas slaps him "hey!"

"They're so much more" said Michael and he pulls out the first brush and hands it to the woman in pink and she bows

"My name is Shiraishi Mako" said the woman in pink. Michael hands the next brush to the woman in yellow and she bows

"My name is Hanaori Kotoha" said the woman in yellow. Michael hands the next brush to the man in green and he bows

"My name is Tani Chiaki" said the man in green. Michael hands the next brush to the man in blue and he bows

"My name is Ikenami Ryunosuke" said the man in blue. Michael hands the final brush to the man in red, who doesn't bow, but rather looks directly into Michael's eyes and smiles

"My name is Shiba Deker" said the man in red

"How do we use these?" Chiaki asked

"You'll know" said Michael "now the monster is waking up" and the monster charges towards them. The Rangers step out of the way, wanting to see how the Samurai will do without their help. The Samurai draw the kanji for sword in the air

"Spin Swords!" said Deker and swords appear in the air "Uramasa!" and he duels wields his Spin Sword with his personal one. The Samurai charge the monster and strike him "Jonas, my Power Disc!" and Jonas tosses him his disk, which he places on his Spin Sword and spins "BLAZING STRIKE!" and he injures the monster

"We need our discs too!" said Mako and Jonas tosses them their discs

"QUINTUPLE SLASH!" said the Samurai and the monster explodes… and then grows

"Really?" Kotoha asked

"Your monsters have the unfortunate side effect of growing when destroyed" said Michael

"Ours at least need someone else to make them grow" said Seth as he tosses them the shapes. The Samurai draw the Symbol for Mega Mode on the shapes

"MEGA MODE POWER!" said Deker and their Foldingzords grow and unfold and turns their Spin Swords into Mega Blades "LION FOLDINGZORD!"

"DRAGON FOLDINGZORD!" said Ryunosuke

"BEAR FOLDINGZORD!" said Chiaki

"APE FOLDINGZORD!" said Kotoha

"TURTLE FOLDINGZORD!" said Mako and they enter their Zords and place the Mega Blades in the console and attach their Zords' Power Discs. The Bear Foldingzord attacks the monster with its claws, the Ape Foldingzord with its fists, and the Dragon Foldingzord throws the Turtle Foldingzord at it like a disc

"MEGA BLADE, ACTIVATE!" said Deker "KATANA POWER! PENTAGONAL FURY!" and the monster is destroyed "Samurai, victory is ours" and they eject. They look for Michael and the others, but they're gone…

"…and the Ancient Rangers headed back to Heaven for their next mission" said Gabriel

"I have a question" said Noah

"Noah?" Jake asked "I thought you were in your room"

"I was" said Noah "I do come out every now and then. Gabriel, Samurai and kanji didn't exist for thousands of years after this, so how were the Ancient Samurai aware of those concepts?"

"They weren't, but they inspired those concepts" said Gabriel "their legend was passed from generation to generation and the words Samurai and kanji were eventually used in honor of them. Until next time, Rangers" and he teleported away


Next time on Tales of Gabriel:

Gabriel tells the Megaforce of another attack on Japan. And Noah finally reveals the project he's been working on
