Episode 1
"A Ranger Gone Psycho: Part 1"
By DinoBot
It is one year after Terra Venture crashed on the surface of Mirinoi. The crew and citizens of Terra Venture have managed to salvage most of the City Dome. They have re-built it into Terra Venture, named after the colony which brought them to the new world. For the most part, they live in peace with the Mirinoites, they stay away from the island where Terra Venture is located.
Seting: Terra Venture - Night
All is quiet in the city. A few people are about, but they are headed home after a night on the town. After a few moments, they leave and everything returns to quiet. Suddenly, with a crackling of power, a miniature transwarp wormhole rips open in the evening sky. Energy arcs from the wormhole, striking a nearby information console, which erupts into flame. Another energy arc strikes a nearby power generator, which sputters, then goes dead. In the next instant, a shadowy figure leaps out and lands on the ground effortlessly. The shadowy figure turns around and looks up at the transwarp wormhole as it closes.
Shadowy figure: I’ll need to reconfigure the generator if help is needed.
The shadowy figure takes off and runs off into the night.
Setting: Central Command.
Central Command, the heart of Terra Venture, is deserted and dark, save for the consoles which blink silently. One of the monitors comes to life and registers an energy spike. The monitor remains active as it scans for similar energy spikes.
Setting: Terra Venture - Morning
The morning sun shines bright as it rises over the city of Terra Venture. The sky is clear blue with a just a few wisps of clouds visible breaking up the monotony of its vastness. People are walking through the streets, moving along and performing their everyday tasks. On the sidewalks, some rush to get to their jobs, while others stroll along the rows of shops and cafes. A small group of people seem to be gathering around an information screen, which is displaying an announcement from High Command.
Commander Stanton: Due to an unexplained power surge, the information consoles in sector 2 will be offline. The power in sector 2 will also be offline this morning for a duration of 4 hours, as the generator was also damaged by the unexplained energy spike
At the back of the crowd of people stand Leo and Kai, who are watching the broadcast.
Leo: Any ideas as to what caused the energy spike?
Kai: No, but I know someone that MIGHT know what happened.
Scene 4: Central Command
Kai and Kendrix are sat on the bridge at the science stations, Kai taps a few controls and transfers his monitor display to the main view screen.
Kai: Take a look at this.
Kendrix turns and looks at the main view screen, which displays the energy spike the console detected.
Kai: The sensors detected the power surge last night.
Kendrix: Can it tell us where it came from?
Kai: No, only that it was VERY powerful, it generated a transwarp wormhole, AND that there was someone who came through the wormhole.
The doors whoosh open and Commander Stanton walks into Central Command.
Stanton: Have you found out anything about the power surge?
Kai(smiling): The SensorNet has recorded it.
Kendrix: AND someone came OUT of the Transwarp wormhole that caused the energy spike that damaged the colony.
Stanton studies the information on the main view screen.
Stanton: Someone came out? How?
Kendrix: Well, according to this, the wormhole was artificially generated. Unfortunately, I can’t tell where the wormhole originated. But who ever came through is somewhere in Terra Venture.
Setting: Terra Venture - Comet Café
The mysterious figure sits in the shadows of a corner at the Come Café. The only part of the body visible is the gloved hand that grasps the coffee mug.
Setting: Terra Venture - Comet Café
Kendrix and Maya walk into the café and take a seat at one of the empty tables. As they wait for the waiter to come, Maya looks around at the various people in the café and walking past.
Maya: Just think, anyone of these people could have come through the wormhole. And who knows what they want?
Kendrix: I know, and if they turn hostile, we can’t do anything about it as we have NO idea WHO they are.
As the waiter takes their order, the mysterious person in the shadows puts the coffee mug down and remains silent as he watches the two girls. Maya looks around the café suspiciously.
Kendrix: What is it?
Maya: Something’s wrong. I can sense a… presence. A very powerful mind…. AHHHHH
The Yellow Galaxy Ranger holds her head in pain then collapses to the floor, unconscious. Kendrix rushes to her side.
Kendrix: Maya, are you ok? MAYA!
Maya remains silent and still.
Setting: Terra Venture Hospital.
The four remaining Galaxy Rangers are gathered around Maya’s bed. She is hooked up to various life support equipment.
Nurse: A blood vessel burst in her brain, putting her in a coma.
Kai: Can you fix it
Nurse: Unfortunately, the Mirinoite anatomy is somewhat different from Humans. And since the Mirinoites aren’t as… advanced as us, they don’t keep medical records
Kai: Just answer the question, can you heal her? Yes or no?
There is a short but awkward pause.
Nurse: No.
The nurse walks away, leaving the Rangers standing around Maya’s bed. Kendrix notices something on Maya’s shoulder, and she points to the marks on her shoulder.
Kendrix: Look at that, they weren’t here before.
The marks look like freshly made claw marks from a large animal.
Leo: Has Maya been in the jungle today? I mean, apart from her village?
Kendrix: No, she’s been with me the whole time.
Leo: Are you sure?
Kendrix: Yes I am sure. We’ve been trying to find outfits for the dance tonight.
Damon: Those marks on her shoulder look like claw marks, from a lion or tiger.
Leo: It could have been a monster.
Kai: There’s a Mirinoi legend about something called The Curse of The Lion.
Leo: Don’t just stand there, tell us about it.
Kai: According to the legend, the Curse of the Lion is said to the precursor to the return of the Lion Ranger.
Damon: Lion Ranger? Never heard of him.
Kai: I’m not surprised. He was banished from Miranoi 3000 years ago.
Leo: Why?
Kai: According to the legend, it all began with a battle…
Setting: 300 years ago - Mirinoi
Strikning raises both hands, electricity shoots out of his fingers, and Lion Ranger dives clear as the bolt zaps the ground where he once stood. From out of the scorched ground emerge a dozen grunting, snarling energy beings. They bore a resemblance to Strikning, but they had no hands. Instead they had energy blades.
Strikning: From this moment forth, the planet Mirinoi and the Quasar Sabres will BELONG TO ME.
Strikning raises his arms, thunder crackles and lightning rips across the sky.
Strikning: Welcome to my nightmare, Lion Ranger.
An explosion of lightning consumes Strikning and he teleports away. Before Lion Ranger can react, the StrikeMites attack. Lion Ranger gets off a stellar cross-hock takedown on one StrikeMite, delivers a world class heel stomp to anther, then executes a lethal reverse hand sword on another.
Lion Ranger: Ok, I’ve had enough of this. FIRE SABRE!
He brings his hands together. A massive flame erupts up from his hands and the Fire Sabre appears. With the formation’s energy still gleaming, Lion Ranger charges at the StrikeMites. He swings the sabre upwards, taking out three StrikeMites, leaving seven of the energy creatures.
Lion Ranger: Ok, your turn.
Scene 8: Mirinoite Village
Strikning shoots energy blasts as he enters the village. They hit several huts, setting them ablaze instantly.
Strikning: I have come for the jewels and gold that you have, and I SHALL get them.
Several Miranites try to stand up to Strikning, but he shoots them with energy blasts, killing them instantly.
Strikning: This is your last chance, SAVAGES. Give me the gold and jewels or I’ll burn you all to ASHES.
Before anyone can reply, a powerful jet of flame slams into Strikning, knocking him to the ground. He gets up and sees Lion Ranger standing in front of the rock containing the Quasar Sabres. A small flame is burning from the tip of the Fire Sabre.
Lion Ranger: You don’t know when to give up, do you?
Strikning roars in anger and charges at the Lion Ranger, who quickly sidesteps and grabs Strikning’s head.
Lion Ranger: Ok ugly, if you want the Quasar Sabres, then you can have them.
He repeatedly slams Strikning’s head into the stone.
Lion Ranger: Perhaps they need a magic word to release them *slam* please *slam* pretty please *slam* now *slam* open sesame. *slam*
Lion ranger throws Strikning backwards, away from the Sabres. He crashes down in a shower of sparks, but he quickly gets up and grabs a nearby Mirinoite girl.
Strikning: Either you power down and give me what I WANT, or I kill this little WENCH.
Lion Ranger: I don’t respond well to THREATS.
Strikning(smiling): That wasn’t a threat, it’s a promise.
Lion Ranger: Let her go, and I’ll kill you quickly.
Strikning tightens his grip on the young girl.
Strikning: I warned you, now you pay the price for your defiance.
Strikning twists his hand, snapping the girls neck. He opens his hand and she drops to the floor, like a puppet with its strings cut.
Strikning: Blame not ME for her death, but the Lion Ranger. He is to blame. I wanted mere gold and jewels.
The Mirinoites begin shouting and throwing things at Lion Ranger.
Strikning: Yes, HE IS THE ONE to BLAME. I only wanted jewels and gold. He refused, costing the young girl her LIFE.
Lion Ranger takes a step back, away from the crowd of angry Mirinoites.
Lion Ranger: Wait, I didn’t kill her…
His words fall on deaf ears as the Mirinoites advance forward, Strikning blows Lion Ranger a kiss before he teleports away.
Mirinoite Elder: Lion Ranger, you have caused the death of an innocent life, therefore you are hereby banished from Mirinoi
Lion Ranger: Please, let me explain…
Mirinoite Elder: SILENCE, you are no longer welcome here.
Lion Ranger pushes past the Mirinoites and stands in the center of the village.
Lion Ranger: After all the years I’ve spent defending this planet, you refuse to hear me out and now you UNGRATEFUL SAVAGES have BANISHED ME. Even if it takes me 3000 years, I’ll be back, then I’ll exact my revenge on you ALL.
The Mirinoites throw rocks at Lion Ranger, shouting abuse at him.
Lion Ranger(to village elder): The mark of the lion will appear on all of your children, and your descendants, they will all die painfully. When the claw of the Lion shows itself upon the yellow one, you will all know that I will be about to return and exact my vengeance upon this mud ball of a world.
With a roar of a lion, Lion Ranger teleports away.
Setting: Terra Venture Hospital
Kai has just finished telling the legend of the Curse Of the Lion Ranger.
Kai: And that’s the whole story…
Kendrix looks at the claw marks on Maya’s shoulder.
Kendrix: ‘When the claw of the Lion shows itself upon the yellow one’. Guys, the claw marks on Maya’s shoulder: the Lion Ranger is about to return.
Leo: The yellow one, it could mean the Yellow Ranger. And if the Lion Ranger IS about to return, then we have to be on our guard.
Damon: Then the wormhole was the Lion Ranger arriving.
Kendrix walks to the window and looks out at Terra Venture. She watches the people going about their business.
Kendrix: And he could be anyone on Terra Venture, and anywhere.
Setting: Unknown
The mysterious figure walks along the back streets of Terra Venture, always remaining in the shadows.
Mysterious Figure: With the Mirinoite savage out of the way, the Rangers won’t be able to form their MegaZord. My vengeance will soon come to fruition.
With a roar of a lion, the mysterious figure teleports away.
