Chapter Text
"So, this is Earth, huh?” A man in a red pirate coat says from a flying ships cockpit. “Why would the Armada want this hunk of rock?”
“Who knows… they have plans for it…” Someone in a similar blue coat says as he sharpens his saber.
“It looks beautiful…” A woman in a pink coat says. “It reminds me of home, but different.”
“Well, we can’t let the Armada have it. Plus, we still need to figure out what those have to do with it.” A man in a green coat points at the chest on the table.
“And we can always pick up some treasures on the way.” A woman in yellow coat adds.
“Heh… alright everyone…” The man in red turns to them. Behind him a giant fleet of spaceships appears on the other side of the planet. “… let’s make a show out of this. The Armada won’t expect our new toys.”
On Earth.
“Oh no… is this it Gosei?!” Spyro Burrows, The Megaforce Red ranger speaks into his morpher.
“Yes Spyro, that is the Armada.” Gosei answers. “I’m sorry.”
“No… I refuse to give up! I’ll fight till my last breath… It’s… what’s they would want. Earths defenders never surrender!” Spyro rushes into the city as the Armada’s ships start firing. Buildings start crumbling, blowing up and destroying everything in its path.
“Ha ha! Finally, Earth will be mine!” Prince Vekar laughs in glee at Earths destruction.
“Why are you so fixated on Earth Prince?” Damaras asks.
“Because of those stinking Power Rangers! They have fought back everything that was sent towards them. But now, my brother finally proved himself useful and in his final moments destroyed the latest rangers, so Earth is mine for the taking!”
“Sad, I wished we could have at least see them. It would be exciting.” Levira says.
“Goesi Great Megazord!” Spyro tries to activate the megazord.
“Spyro no! You alone can’t handle piloting the megazord!” Gosei warns him.
“I must! With Ultra mode I can try! Go Ultra mode! Activate Gosei Great Megazord!”
The megazord forms and Spyro get’s transported in the cockpit, alone. Spyro looks around and his head drops down. “Guys… I… I promise you… I will… I will… do my best!” He grips the controls and tries to destroy as much of the Armada as possible.
“What the!? The Power Rangers!? I thought my brother destroyed them!” Vekar complains. “Focus fire that giant robot, I want it reduced to atoms!” He slams his fist down.
“Gah… damn it… Gosei! Gosei!” Spyro thrashes around the cockpit.
“Spyro, exit now! Now!” Gosei orders.
Spyro grunts as he get’s teleported into a street. The megazord powers down and after multiple ships focus fire it, it blows up, taking a few ships down with it, but almost an unnoticeable amount.
“No! The Zords!” Spyro tries to get up but falls back down onto his knees and out of his Ultra mode. “Ugh… Gosei! Gosei, what now?!” Spyro speaks into his morpher. It responds with static and on and off words that are hard to hear due to background explosions.
“Spyro… you… did great… thank… you… stay… safe…” Goesi says before the line cuts off.
“Gosei? Gosei! Tensou!? Gosei! A-anyone!? Hello!?” Spyro slams his the morpher in panic. But nothing. When that realization hits, Spyro drops the morpher and cries. “No… please… anybody…”
“Mister Ranger!”
A bunch of kids run up to Spyro. Spyro shakes his head and rises onto his feet in pain. “Hey, what are you doing? Shouldn’t you be with your families?”
“Mister Ranger, are we going to be safe?” A little girl asks.
Spyro looks at the ground and then back at the Armada. “I… I’ll do my best to protect you all. You stay safe. That’s important. Remember, Earths defenders...?”
“Never Surrender!” The kids shout.
Spyro nods as a woman arrives. “Oh kids, there you are!”
“Go with the nice lady and stay safe!” Spyro tells them as he runs deeper into the ruined city. He looks up at the sky and the Armada. He knows fighting is no use and that only a miracle could save them now. But he can’t fall into despair. “Other rangers never gave up… and neither will I, alone or not!”
Suddenly, a bunch of Armada ships start blowing up. A red pirate ship flies over the city.
“What the… a pirate ship? Gosei never mentioned any kind of pirate themed team… could this be some new team? Did Gosei call them in a last-ditch effort?” Spyro wonders.
“No! Anything but those damn Marauders!” Vekar yells at the top of his longs. “Destroy them. Now! Use anything! I want them dead!”
“Okay guys…” The man in red grabs his same-coloured pirate wheel. “…let’s cut through this Armada. Ranger keys?”
“Ready!” The team says.
“Combine the Zords.”
“Megazord formation!” The team inserts their coloured keys into the keyhole of their wheels and turn it.
Marauder Skyship Zord!
Marauder Jet Zord!
Marauder Wheeler Zord!
Marauder Racer Zord!
Marauder Sub Zord!
“Marauder Megazord, set sail!”
The Megazord starts slicing through the Armada like its hot butter.
“No, no, come on and destroy them already!” Vekar orders around.
“Sorry prince, not happening, this planet is staying.” The man in red says as they slice down more ships.
“Urgh, recall the ships! Send the X Borgs down and hope the human’s surrender. We need a new plan.” Vekar orders.
The rest of the ships start dropping down the silver grunts and onto the poor people running away.
“Now that’s a coward’s way to do it. Let’s go.” The man in red says as the megazord turns back into individual zords. The pirate ship stops mid air and the pirates zip down on their individual strings.
“Man, these things just keep multiplying like damn rabbits!” The girl in yellow complains.
“Hey! Get out of here!” Spyro runs in front of them. “I’ll handle them.”
“You don’t look so good.” The girl in pink says and pats his shoulder. “We’ll handle this.”
“What? No, this is a job for a ranger! A job for me.”
“And which ranger are you?” The guy in green asks.
“Fury of the dragon, Megaforce Red!” Spyro poses in pain and says out of breath.
“Was that roll call really necessary?” The woman in yellow asks.
“Stay out of this, we’ll take it from here.” The five pirates take out their respectively coloured keys and their cell phone like morphers. They flick the morphers open and flip the keys, pose and yell.
“Cast off, Marauder change!”
They insert the keys, and large coloured X’s fly out and back into them, forming their suit’s part by part. First the black undersuit, then pirates’ coats, then helmets finally.
“Marauder Red!” He flicks his collar.
“Marauder Blue!” He puts his hand on his helmet and lifts his head up.
“Marauder Yellow!” She puts her right arm on her left hand and waves her right arm to her left.
“Marauder Green!” He slides his hands down the side of his body.
“Marauder Pink!” She elegantly puts her right arm over her chest.
“Outcasts together, Marauders forever!” The teams take out their sabers and blasters and cross their arms.
“Wow! So you are Rangers!” Spyro says.
“Rangers?” Blue Marauder tilts his head.
“Power Rangers? You know, the protectors?”
“Who?” The Yellow Marauder asks.
“You guys don’t know what Power Rangers are!? They are the most well-known team that fights for good!” Spyro yells in confusion.
“You can lecture us later; we got better things to do now. Let’s make this showy.” Marauder Red says and the team starts firing at the X Borgs.
The Marauders slash through the Borgs in a stylish fashion. Red blocks three Borgs attacks with his saber and shoots them while they’re stuck. Yellow fights off some Borgs that surrounded her. She presses a button on the side of the saber making it extend a cord at the end. She wraps it around her hand and spins and slashes around her.
“Hey bro, mind if I borrow some fire power!?” Green shouts in panic as a batch of X Borgs follows him as he runs away.
“Sure, let’s switch, I work better with blades anyways.” Blue nods and tosses him his blaster. Green puts his sword under his armpit, catches the blaster, lets the saber go and kicks it towards Blue with striking pression.
“Thanks man!” Green turns back to the X Borgs and opens fire.
Blue grunts as he fights off some X Borgs, duel wielding the sabers like it’s child’s play. He spins and flips around, not missing a beat or a Borg.
Spyro also helps. Even with basically no energy left, he still helps as much as he can, slashing down the Borgs with his Dragon Sword. “Ugh, how many of these guys are there!?”
The two red rangers bump into each other as they walk back.
“Ugh… too many, and they are easy to produce too. Hey, rookie!” Red yells at him.
“You’re the rookie here, I was a ranger first!”
“Yeah, whatever, you know all the rangers, right? And what they can do?” Red asks.
“Not personally, but yes, I know all the legendary ranger teams and their abilities. Why?” Spyro slashes down another Borg.
“Cuz, we need a quick lesson, name and main gimmick. Who’s this!?” Red presses down on his golden belt, the buckle flipping open to reveal a key that looks like a Ranger. The red key has the kanji symbol for fire.
“Uhm, the Samurai red ranger. The legendary Samurai team uses symbol power and spin swords to fight!” Spyro quickly explains as the other Marauders regroup around Red.
“Okay then, let’s see just how legendary these rangers are. Time to go to the next level!” Red says to his team.
Blue nods.
Yellow “I like the idea.”
Green “So soon?”
Pink “Let’s try it!”
“Legendary Ranger Mode!” The team shouts as they flip the keys and insert them into their morphers.
“Cast off, Samurai!” “Go Go Samurai!”
They turn the keys, the symbol at the top of the morpher opening up to form a crest of two crossed swords that the same as the one on their suits, helmets and zords. Each ranger’s specific kanji symbol appears in front of them, blocking incoming attacks as they form the Samurai suits for them.
“What the!? You guys can transform into other rangers!?” Spyro exclaims. “That’s so… so cool!”
Marauders, now Samurai ranger, slash down more X Borgs with their new spin swords, using the discs they have for elemental attacks as well.
“These new powers are sweet! I could get used to this!” Pink says excitedly as she swats away the X Borgs with her giant war fan.
“So awesome! Hey dude!” Green taps Spyro’s shoulder. “What’s this one?!” He practically shoves a green ranger key into Spyro’s face. The rangers visor looks like a bull.
“Oh, those are the magical legendary rangers, Mystic Force!”
“Magic is real!? Unbelievable! Guys let’s try it!” Green asks as the rest of the ranger’s line up next to him.
“Legendary Ranger Mode!”
“Cast off, Mystic Force!” “Magical source, Mystic Force!”
Their suits change again, this time to the Mystic Force rangers. They push their capes away and activate their wands, aiming at a large group of X Borgs and sending them flying in a colourful tornado of magical powers.
“Now these guys are something else.” Blue says.
“You damn no good Marauders!” Someone yells. A blue jellyfish, tentacle looking monster. “I, Headridge will be your doom, for the glory of the Armada!”
“Hey, Mega guy, what’s a common sea food dish here?” Red asks.
“There’s sushi, why?”
“Oh, this planet has it too? I must try it when I get the chance.” Pink claps her hands in delight.
“Okay, another question, any rangers similar to assassins?” Red asks again.
“We have ninjas, ones with storms and ones with throwing stars if that’s any help.” Spyro answers.
“Star heads got it. Let’s cut this guy into a buffe.”
The team takes out new keys.
“Legendary Ranger Mode!”
“Cast off, Ninja Steel!” “Ninja spin!”
The team turns into Ninja Steel rangers and runs at the commander. They turn into coloured blurs as they slash and slice through the monster.
“Let’s finish this!” Red orders as the rangers spin their stars on their Ninja Star Blades that start glowing their respective colours.
“Steel Slash, Final Ninja Strike!” The team shouts and speeds through the monster at the same time, ending up on the other side of it as it explodes.
“Damn, these new powers are so powerful not even the commanders can stop us.” Yellow laughs as the team demorphs back to normal. Spyro does the same.
“Oh no…” Pink gasps at the badly beaten Spyro. His clothes are torn and he’s bleeding all over. He’s about to fall when she catches him. “Come on, breath. We’ll get you somewhere safe.”
“No…” Spyro shakes his head. “I… I need to see if Gosei is okay… can you please help me get to him?”
“Only if you help us with the ranger keys.” Red says.
“You got a deal.” Spyro accepts.
Later
“Oh no…” Spyro runs into the hidden command centre.
“This is their base of operation? A cave behind a beach?” Blue comments as they follow Spyro in. They stumble upon five small pedestals and a giant golden and white tiki head on the wall.
“Gosei! Answer me!” Spyro shouts.
“Spyro…” Goseis voice comes out.
“Oh, the giant head speaks…” Yellow says under her breath.
“Spyro… you must… go on… I must deactivate and recharge… the command centre took a lot of damage, including me, so I must retreat for my own and your safety. Your powers will no longer work, so please don’t put yourself in any danger.”
“Gosei no! You can’t. I need you more then ever before. What will I do!?” Spyro shouts in panic.
“You must help the Marauders in any way you can. They are our only hope now. Help them master the powers of the Legendary Rangers.” Gosei explains.
“Why would we stay on this junk planet?” Yellow asks.
“Because if you do you will be able to uncover the greatest treasure in the known universe. Protect the planet against the Armada, master the powers, and once it’s all over, you will discover it and be rewarded with it.” Gosei tells them.
“That’s a pretty big thing to say. How can we trust you?” Green asks.
“Because I was the one who sent you coordinates of Earth. I was the one who helped hide the treasure.” Gosei answers.
“Marvelous, we can’t trust this guy.” Blue tells Red. “He could trick us.”
“I don’t know… I feel like we can trust him, I have a gut feeling about it. Plus, I heard the legend of the greatest treasure, so he didn’t come up with it on the spot. And my gut hasn’t been wrong so far. It got me you guys, so I’ll say, we’ll do it.” Marvelous says.
“Thank you and may the power protect you all…” Gosei says as his lights dim and turn off.
“Goodbye… Gosei…” Spyro says as he passes out from exhaustion.
“Dear lord, help him up!” Pink rushes over to his side. Yellow follows suit, although not happy about it. “We have to bring him back to the ship.”
“Well, we still need him for the ranger powers like Gosei said. Ember, you’re in charge of helping him get better.” Marvelous orders the pink marauder Ember, she nods.
“Doc.” He turns to the green marauder. “Find anything useful here and report it back. Also, find anything you can on him. We need to check how trustworthy is he.”
Doc nods and checks around the cave while the rest go out and back onto the Sky Ship.
“I wonder how this all wo-…” Doc talks to himself as he hears a high-pitched beep. He yelps and gets into a startled crane pose as a small robot on two wheels and solar panels on his back comes out from a hole in the wall.
“Who… you…” The robot speaks; it’s voice box malfunctioning.
“Uhm… me Doc. Who you?
“Tensou… help… rangers…”
“Oh wow, they had a personal robot. Fascinating. Um, Spyro is being treated as we speak. Mind if I take you on board and fix you up?”
The little robot nods. Doc picks him and runs out to join the rest of the Marauders.
