[Sentai]

There's a channel on YouTube I watch where every now and again Adam does "How I Would've Booked" where he takes an existing WWE storyline and tells how he would've booked it better. Because he's a smartass. Well I decided because this is the internet and I like following the crowd that I'd do one for Power Rangers. And because I'm sitting here bored you-know-what-less. This is..

How I Would've Done Megaforce/SuperMegaforce

Now there are some obvious points I should mention first. Like better casting, for example. Aside from the VO work during those seasons which was spot on.

We'll start with story.

Firstly, No Gosei and no Tensou. May they forever be thrown into the same dark pit we threw Operation Overdrive and Jayden's creepy stare into the camera in the yogurt shop. I appreciate it was an anniversary season and you were trying to invoke memories of Zordon. But all that happened was you disappointed thousands of people with your giant Brady Bunch Tiki God and his effeminate rolling sidekick.

The story opens with alarms blaring inside a smooth arched hallway. Red lights flashing, overhead lights flickering to life, and the camera moving through the corridors like someone running at full stride. A POV shot which ends as the hall opens into a large domed command center. CGI screens come on surrounding what we see is an updated version of Alpha. Alpha Sigma. She moves from screen to screen which are all showing the same image, a large ship coming into orbit around earth. And with a classic "Aye Aye Aye!" she presses a large red button. Because why not a large red button. If it's good enough for David to break the blood spell of the Cydoracs (Certain I butchered that spelling) it's good enough for Power Rangers. And one does not question David Tennant and his floofy hair. Anywhoodles. The button is pressed and a cryochamber opens revealing an elderly man in alian armor. Long white hair, goatee, very new-age gandolph. His name is Gosei. I like the name, not the Tiki God, so his name is Gosei.

Being in Cryo explains why he hasn't been around the last 2000 years, and why he hasn't helped before this season. He was put in cryo by Zordon as earth's last defense should a threat arise above what anyone has faced before. So he wakes and slowly rises from the chamber. Sees the threat approaching and nods to Sigma. Saying only "Wake the Power."

We move on to Angel Grove HS. Class is starting but everyone's talking about the ship caught on telescope and cameras all over the news. It hasn't done anything, it's just sitting there. But class goes on. So we follow our heroes as the day goes on, getting to them a little bit as you do. But by the end of the day it happens. The Warstar (The name's good) launch their attack led by Lord Vrak. Making him the main villian of the series and ignoring the other Warstar exist. It's Vrak and his Generals. They start laying waste and the heroes of our story start helping civilians. Well, seeing the good they do as 'normal' people the power finds them of course and they're given the morphers and a deck of cards. Which causes confusion and one of them to make a poker-pun as you do.

So now we come to the morph. The back flip into their power stays. It was an excellent shot. But where I'd change it is as they land suited up, the camera would slow pan around their faces as the helmets form. And they also would absolutely not yell out their color. Saban, I love you. I really do. But calling out their color is stupid. We see what color they are, we know the leader is red, we don't need them screaming it out. Thank you.

So during the battle they beat back Vrak's first general and show off their weapons and zords, standard PR faire.

Now.

As the season progresses the Rangers beat back Vrak. First by destroying his most powerful general, Goseiger's Mons Drake, and his ship. Then by beating him back physically. He licks his wounds and through a sacred seal he creates the Mutants. Also creating himself new armor and weapons in the process. The rangers, getting their butts kicked by this new Vrak and his new Mutants, go to Gosei for help. But, calling back to the White Ranger arc is MMPR, he and Sigma are no where to be found. Now during all this (Again calling back to MMPR) there's a new student in school. This new student shows great strength, heart, and courage, so Gosei recruited him for a new power. The rangers head back out as the alarm sounds and as they're getting their butts kicked a new man shows up. This new student and tells them to stand down. He can handle this himself. The rangers, not knowing he's a new ally, try and stop him but he shrugs them off and zips up his new jacket. Silver, with gold and black, and Gosei Knight's symbol on the back. Where he pulls his Leonus Morpher out of his pocket. And his change card. Calling out It's Morphing Time he changes into Leonus Knight. He kicks butt, of course, but after the battle as the Rangers try and welcome him he shrugs them off. Saying if they were strong enough they wouldn't have needed his help and that he can do this better alone. As the arch progresses he comes around, cause of course he does, and joins the rangers with his powerful Leonus Megazord.

Vrak escapes though, as he does, and becomes angry and desperate.. But he has a plan. He breaks into the command center and kidnaps Sigma. Turning her into his new Metal Alice. Vrak created her to help him defeat the rangers but she determines he loses because he's to weak to do it himself. So she forcefully changes him into Metal Vrak. They spend the next few episodes beating them too. Leading to Vrak kidnapping and brainwashing Leonus. Harking back to In Space and Andromeda. They save him, of course, and beat Vrak, of course, and save Sigma. Of course. But at the end Vrak disappears.. and a new threat emerges.

The Armada has arrived led by Vrak's older brother. Now Gosei knows the Rangers can't stop this new threat with their current power. Even using their Golden Aura (Super Mode). So Gosei recalls them just as the Armada opens fire on them and takes them into a sealed vault deep inside the command center. Inside is a chest filled with keys shaped like Rangers from the past. And he explains, in a nod to Gokaiger, that this was taken off infamous Space Pirates who knew it'd be needed one day. And he explains that sometimes it takes a Pirate to save the world and not all heroes are black and white. A good life lesson, and helps explain the pirate motif better than Megaforce ever did (Not that MF or SMF ever explained everything). So they take the morphers and Leonus sees there's only five. Gosei explains that his power won't work with the Pirate tech so he has to stay behind while Gosei and Sigma work on the problem.

During each episodes they go to a different location helping an old Ranger from the past, harking to Gokaiger, and setting up the finale.During this they learn the Armada is here for the very power their using. Knowing if they have the Ranger Keys and turn their soldiers into Rangers from the past they can conquer anything. But since they can't take the keys they figure the next best thing is taking rangers from the past and turning them into soldiers of the Armada. Believing with the Rangers in hand they can steal the power that way too.

Midway through Leonus gains the Silver Power, which is reshot completely because Gai's mannerisms only work with Gai, and gains the powers of all the Sixths throughout PR history.

Now. The Armada is defeated. Yay Power Rangers. And we come to where Vrak went.. See, he defeated the Armada. The Rangers arrive on the Flagship and see monsters and generals all laid to waist with someone sitting on the throne. Vrak in his true and terrible form. Seraphim Vrak. He gleefully explains that he defeated the Armada and their generals soon as the Armada arrived and the Rangers have been defeating converted soldiers this whole time to maintain the illusition. He then starts kicking butt. Rangers beaten down, power broken, morphers crushed, hope lost. Proving his power is superior he makes them watch as the lays waste to the command center as they're trapped on the Flagship. Gosei is beaten, Sigma is broken, the power is gone. And as Vrak blocks the sun.. he sees lights in the sky. Red, Yellow, Blue, Violet (Black), Pink, and on and on. And as he questions what is happening you hear "Power Axe!' And he's blasted back off his feet. Only to stand and see the canyon they're in flanked on every side by Rangers from the past.

This takes into consideration Saban giving old actors enough time to return and most of them saying yes. In my version they also don't ignore Titanium and give him the leading roll instead of Tommy.

Jason (Cause Austin St. John is Epic) offers the new Red a hand to his feet and grasps his shoulder. Telling him that Zordon once said the power is always inside you. Just look for it. The new Rangers all close their eyes and their bodies begin glowing. Vrak, angered by this turn, attacks but the Rangers are protected each by large golden wings. Revealing their Golden Aura modes and their original suits. The new Red yells "You can never defeat the Power! And you aren't destroying our home!"

The Rangers gathered around them cheer on as Jason says he's all theirs. He and the Past Rangers will focus on beating back Vrak's army and saving the people. And the battle begins.

In the distance old Megazords fight giant monsters. Megazord, Ninja Megazord, Titan Megazord, and on and on. As Rangers fight on the ground led by Jason and Leonus knight. Who, before he left to help, gave the new Red his Leonus Calibur (Leon Kaiser). Telling him he'll need the power to stop Vrak.

The battle rages. The Past Rangers win out and watch as Gosei broadcasts the fight in the skies above Angel Grove. With his voice booming he says "This Battle is for the Fate of Humanity, you have a right to watch it unfold." The battle goes on, the Rangers almost lose until Red stands and rallies his friends. Telling them what they've meant to him through this double-season. And asks them to join him one last time. One by one they rally by his side and bring their weapons together for one final attack.

Seraphim Vrak is defeated. The sun is restored. And the Armada drifts helplessly through space towards the sun. Good wins, the Past Rangers say their goodbyes, and Gosei appears as the power of the Rangers disappears. He explains "The Power always leaves when the job is done. But when it's needed, the Power will return. And the Rangers are never defeated" And the season ends.

In my season, I should mention, ther won't be "other Teams" appearing. No Dairanger, or Liveman, just actual American MMPR teams.


I should go over names at some point too.

Power Rangers Megaforce is idiotic and sounds slapped together at the last second "We need a name, the new show starts shooting tomorrow!" "Uh Uh Uh Uuuuuh.. They're a mega force so... Megaforce!" Yea, no.

Personally I liked the 'leaked' Celestial Squadron. Honestly, I like the simple name Power Rangers Victory. And for the Gokaiger part change the name completely to the fitting Power Rangers United.

I hope you liked my vision of MF and SMF. If people like it I might do other seasons or ideas from MMPR.
