Epic 1: The Space Pirates Appear!

On the small screen of the laptop war was in full swing, foot-soldiers in silver armor, Gormin, charged the ruined streets lead by a handful of blue armored variants, Sugormin, and at the head of the force was a black creature that looked like a one of H.R. Geiger Aliens/Xenomorphs had had a baby with the a Gormin. His left arm a gun as he paced calmly after a small group of Japanese children ad their teacher, as they ducked and hide behind a destroyed wall.

"It'll be ok!" the text at the bottom of the screen read as one of the two women leading the children said encouragingly.

"It's no use running," the creature's dialog read as he rounded the corner and cornered the group.

From around another corner five people who had earlier in the episode had just sat down to dinner when the war had collapsed the walls of their diner, and even earlier back this same five, aliens, had tore through a front line fleet outside earth with their giant robot to search for something they called 'The Greatest Treasure in the Universe.'

As they ran however one of them stopped, Ahim De Famile, also know as Gokai Pink, causing their leader, Captain Marvelous, aka Gokai Red, to bump into and stop. Ahim's eyes draw to the monster and the civilians only a few yards off to the side.

"What is it?" Marvelous asked as the other Gokaigers stopped and ran back to join Ahim and Marvelous.

All eight eyes tracking to follow Ahim's line of sight as the monster moved closer to the civilians, Ahim rubbing her hands together with worry.

"No one can escape," The monster gloated as a couple Gormin fell into line behind him as he grabbed one of the women with his non-gun arm and pulled her close, the woman in obvious discomfort for being strangled.

"Just let the children go!" she pleaded.

The monster laughed as he released her, grinding her head under his foot as the Gokaigers watched on.

"Aren't we going?" Gokai Green/Don asked cautiously as he pointed off to the side, a pacifist Don was more then willing to keep running at that moment.

"I hate to say it..." Luka/Gokai Yellow said with concerned look at the events going on, already resolving their dire fate in her mind, "...but this planet might have no future."

"Ah you know you're not going to just let them suffer, not after what happened back home," Behind the keyboard an older man was watching with rapt attention, even though he had seen the entire season before he still got wrapped up in the emotions of it even now. In his had he held a toy phone, a Mobirate, the transformation trinket the Gokaigers of the show used to take their Ranger Form, as well as key that bore a resemblance to Gokai Yellow but with a number of cosmetic changes, it was one of several keys that sat in a silver padded case off to his side.

"Then..." Joe/Gokai Blue said with a haunted look, "...it'll just be another part of the empire's territory." As would be revealed in later episodes Joe once worked for this evil empire so his words now carried a secret pain that cut deeper once you knew future details.

"Just like our home planet," Ahim muses as she reflects back on how the empire had razed her home-world to the ground, she was now the last survivor, princess of a dead world.

Don, who was also called 'Doc', looked to Ahim with a hint of concern, he knew what was coming, as did the watcher, but unlike the watcher Doc just wanted to get away, to safety. You did not opposed Zangack, it was suicide.

Captain Marvelous steeled his gaze as he watched, he would not stand by, he was ready to act, now.

The monster laughed, tracing his gun down the line of crying children, before focusing the baren on one of the women, laughing as she cried, "That's a good expression! It excites me! Show me more fear!"

"It's go time!" the watcher smiled, "Do it guys!"

"I don't like it," Marvelous said in a low dangerous tone as the watcher tightened the grip on his Mobirate and key.

"Thanks for the wonderful expression," The monster laughed as the tip of his gun glowed, charging ready to fire.

An explosion knocked the monsters gun arm off focus and drew his attention as Marvelous strode forward firing his flintlock at monster getting his attention.

"Who's there?!"

Marvelous continued closer, his gun smoking as the rest of the Gokaigers followed apace behind him, all eyes on the five, alien and civilians alike.

"It's you guys!" The monster scoffed as the Gokaiger's came to a stop and he moved toward them, "If I recall, you're the wanted pirates! Just what do you think you're doing?!"

"Who knows?" Marvelous said nonchalantly.

"Oh!" The monster chortled knowingly, ""I bet your just looking for some tawdry treasure! I'm letting you guys go this time, so disappear from my sight!"

"Shut up, dumbass!" Luka shouted annoyed.

"D-dumbass?" The monster said with confusion and rage.

"You're the one who's going to disappear," Joe smirked knowingly.

"I do not wish to listen to what you have to say," Ahim said with the utmost politeness and charm.

The watcher smiled, "Ah Ahim, I love you girl! Only you could pull off 'proper' and 'insulting' with such perfection!"

"Me neither!" even Doc was feeling the emotion and speaking up, "I hate guys like you."

"Have you lost your senses?!" The monster argued angrily. "We are the Space Empire Zangyack! Do you know what happens to those who defy us?!"

"Yeah," The watcher smiled wider, "You get your asses handed to you by SPACE PIRATES!"

"We do," Marvelous said calmly. "But...it's the plank for those I don't like."

One by one the pirates took out a figurine shaped like their ranger forms, a "Ranger Key" as they were called. Behind the keyboard the watcher did the same with his custom yellow key.

"That's what pirates do." Marvelous and the Watcher said in unison, those Marvelous spoke in Japanese and the watcher in English.

With a flick of the Ranger Key the actual teeth portion was revealed for all 6 and they moved in unison behind and in front of the screen as they held the Mobirate in their other hand up by their opposite ear and plunged the key into the slot and turned it the Mobirate's face opening up into the shape of a key and crossed swords.

"Gokai Change!"

The device shouted next on both sides of the screen, "Gooooookaiger!" as a bright light filled the room blinding the watcher.

"...kai Pink!" the tail end of the transformation echoed as the line of pirates now numbered six, the last of the line in yellow like Luka, but the with a number of cosmetic differences, and with a decidedly different, decidedly male voice coming from the clearly female second yellow ranger who rattled off an energetic, "Gokai Yellow!"

"Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger!" The six sounded off in unison as they drew a saber and gun into each hand.

"Let's make this sho..." Gokai Red cut himself short as he saw the second, if unique looking, Gokai Yellow. "Who?" the subtitles under him still visible, at least to the new ranger at least.

"What the..." The new ranger sounded just as confused as he looked herself up and down and around the ruined landscape, but was cut off as the monster shot at her.

"Tch," Gokai Yellow (the original) snickered as she charged forward, "Hope you can fight new girl."

As the rest of the Gokaiger's charged in the new Gokai Yellow cringed, hands behind her helmet, "Fight? What the hell just happened here?" Frozen in place she watched as Blue, Yellow, Green, and Pink tossed weapons about until Blue and Yellow wielded sabers and Pink and Green twin guns and proceeded to tear through the Gormin, Gokai red content to used on of each. 'This is just like the...' New Yellow mused as she tried to process events that were transpiring and a quick glance around found her case on the ground, rolling quick to avoid a Gormin's weapon she closed the case and tucked it under one arm, firing blindly on her attacker and driving it back, "This doesn't make any sense." she shouted as the rest of the Gokaigers lined up around her.

Classic Yellow punching her arm with annoyance, "You're more pathetic then Doc!"

"Hey!"

"They're regrouping," Blue noted as the Gormin gathered up their numbers.

"Ah mou!" Yellow sighed, "There's no end to them."

"Shall we use that?" Red asked the group, pushed New Yellow behind the rest of the group.

"That?" Blue wondered.

"That, right?" Green added in.

"Yeah!" Yellow said excited.

"That's a good idea," Pink added politely.

"That?" New Yellow said confused a moment, stroking her helmeted chin, "Oh that!"

"Gokai Change!" The chief five Gokaigers shouted as their Mobirates shouted "Gooooranger!" and with a spin the five changed into 5 completely different rangers!

New Yellow watched in awe a Pink launched a football like device into the air which the others, starting with Green moved to kick and energize until it landed behind the Gormin, transformed into a Garbage truck and sucked the lot of them into oblivion before driving off. Only for the GoRangers to be assaulted by more Gormin and Sugormin and the five got ready to Gokai Change again.

"Next up should be..." New Yellow mused, "Shinkenger!"

And that exactly what the Mobirates said as the five turned into samurai rangers, and continued to fight off the enemy forces followed by a change into the mystical MagiRangers. Pieces started to fall into place as New Yellow turned her gaze to the monster and opened fire with her Gokai Gun letting the rest of the Gokaigers finish the foot soldiers.

"I haven't forgotten about you!" She growled as she charged slashing the monster with her sword, "That stung a lot when you shot me!"

"It's your fault for standing with those pirates." the monster's subtitles read.

New Yellow growled as a cylinder angled up on her Gokai Saber and she slot in her Ranger Key, "Gokai Scramble!"

She was joined in a moment by the other five with did the same with their weapons and the six weapons shouted "Final Wave!" before unleashing an arc of energy to destroy the monster, a large explosion completing scene.

But as the Classics took a moment to Celebrate and Red placed a hand on new Yellow's shoulder, "Who are you?" He grilled as he powered down and snatched the Mobirate from New Yellow's hand, along with her custom key the other Gokaigers demorphing a moment later.

"And where did you get a Mobirate?" Luka added in.

Once powered down the Give Gokaigers gasped, while the figure under the suit was the figure of a woman, her face, what wasn't covered by long brown/black hair was a man's...the watchers.

"Hey!" He protested as he reached for his Mobirate.

Before the conversation could continue all eyes turned to the children, Ahim the first to approach them, "What is it?"

"Thank you!"

"For saving us..." one of the women added, "...we really thank you."

Marvelous broke contact with the watch as he suppressed an emotional moment and walked away, the watcher following after.

"What are you saying?" Joe/Blue said next as he followed after Marvelous.

"Eh?" one of the women said confused.

"We're space pirates," Luka dismissed them as she and Ahim moved after Marvelous, "We just came looking for treasure."

"But then why did you fight them for us?"

"That was..." Ahim paused unsure how to respond.

The other Gokaigers also stopping as Marvelous glanced back over his shoulder, "For the curry rice."

His words mimicked, in English, by the watcher.

The other Gokaigers all giving a confused "Eh!?"

"'We were angry about not getting to eat any'" The watcher said with a smirk, "that was going to be your excuse right?"

Marvelous smirked and grabbed the watcher by his ear, pulling her off, "We need to talk."

"Agreed," the watcher said slapping his hand away, "But you don't need to pull my ear off."

Shortly the six were aboard the Gokai Galleon, Marvelous seated in his captain's chair the other 5 standing around, the robotic bird Navi perched on the chest off to Marvelous' side. Marvelous still held the custom key and Mobirate while the Watcher had hung onto his case.

"And the next think I knew I was in full Ranger gear being shot at!"

"Tch," Luka snipped, "do we look like idiots to you. That's the stupidest story I have ever heard. TV show, yeah right."

"Doc, is this possible?" Ahim asked with her full charm and poise.

Doc paced, stroking his shin in thought, "I don't think so. If we were fictional characters I would think even if someone could enter the set we would not be allowed to break the 4th wall and thus this conversation would be impossible."

"But..." the watcher protested.

"Shhhh..." Luka said with a punch to his arm.

"Ow!"

"More then likely it is some form of clairvoyance and whatever dropped Ms. Blecker into our battle has clearly mixed up her head. I need to look her over and see if there's any signs of a concussion."

"Do it then, and until we are sure of who she really is, and if she can be trusted I'll be holding onto this Mobirate and Ranger Key."

Blecker sighed, "It's Mr. Blecker, I'm a guy!"

Luka smirked as she poked at the bust tenting Blecker shirt, "Could have fooled me."

Blecker sighed as Doc lead her off, "This is all so crazy."

As the two walked off Ahim watched them with a worried look, turning to Marvelous as Doc and Blecker vanished into the next room, "Marvelous..."
