//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: A Star From the Past // Story: My Little Ranger: Ninja Steel // by Chacorn //------------------------------// It was a quiet Tuesday morning during the summer break. The road leading away from Summer Cove stretched far and wide and would have been completely silent if it hadn't been for Brody Romero driving his red car out of town. He had always liked nature and he had done some ninja training there not only with his father and his older brother, but also all his new friends from Summer Cove High School. But this time he wasn't off to the forest for training, he had put his backpack with a lot of camping equipment in the back seat. "Wow, this is going to be epic" Brody said but in a happy tone. "It's been ages since I went camping with dad and Aiden" He thought But then he shook his head "No, it's Levi. Forgot again" He thought Even after Brody and the other Rangers had decided to continue calling his brother by his stage name, Brody occasionally calls Levi by his real name a few times. While he was checking the road, he saw a photo he had between the two front seats. It was a picture that he showed himself together with all his friends. Brody began to think about what all his friends were up to these days. He himself had started participating in various martial arts tournaments, Preston had started to increase the popularity of his Magi show with his progress and more people were starting to hear about the incredible "Presto Change-O". Sarah has continued with her inventions and they are becoming more and more impressive so that she has also caught the attention of large companies. Calvin has started working part-time for Joe from Joe's Towing (From Season 2 Episode 16). Hayley has started working more with acting and is starting to get attention. Levi continues his music career and is still as popular as ever but has taken a break to go camp with Brody and their father. Mick had decided to go home to The Leon Galaxen to spend a little more time with his parents and Redbot still keeps the bass going because even with the threat of Madame Odius, there could always be a new threat. Brody then thinks back to when it had returned The Power Stars to Prisman for the next that needs its powers. "wonder if the powers will ever come back" he thought as he drove. His thoughts were quickly interrupted when something large passed him causing Brody to brake quickly and stop the car in a hurry. When he regained his balance, he saw that the big thing that passed her had landed in front of him, And he immediately understood what it was. Brody got out of the car and walked over to the object that he recognized as the Ninja Nexus Prism completely clean of the Ninja Steel it was soaked with when it disappeared the last time Brody was surprised and then the surprised expression quickly turned to shock as the prism spun around and around at full speed. "Now what?" Brody asked until Something flew out of the prism at high speed. "Wow" came out of Brody's mouth before he caught the object that came flying. And his face became more surprised when he found himself holding the Red Power Star Brody looked back at the prism food as it slowed down. "Why would the prism return my Power Star?" Brody thought before the prism revealed a vision of the Six Power Stars and Six differently shaped crystals Brody looked at the prism in confusion. "What dose that mean?" Brody said in confusion. But before he could think further, Prisman took off at full speed "Wait" Brody called but the prism was already far away. "What just happened?" He asked himself but before he fully understood everything that had just happened, a yellow Light came from nowhere and in all the light appeared a bunch of human bodied robots with blue armor, A Black Chinese straw hat and long spears. Brody struck a fighting pose while the Kudabots surrounded him Brody didn't want to waste time and started delivering several kicks and punches to the robots that started to attack. Even after a couple of months without monster attacks or Ranger powers, the team continued to practice ninja moves and they were put to good use now. Brody used his Ninja tricks to confuse the Kudabots and managed to take them down. After it got to its feet it tried to attack again but then a yellow light came back and they disappeared. Brody thought for a moment, trying to make sense of everything that had just happened. First he had bumped into Prisman again and then got his Power Star back and then he got a strange vision from Prisman but before he could get any answer as to what it means it flew away. And then he was attacked by Kudabots who he was sure had all been destroyed but then they disappeared in the middle of the battle. Brody thought for a moment and then he said "I should call Redbot" and then he raised his hand and pressed a button on his Ninjacom. "Redbot, are you there?" he asked into his com and over at their base at Summer Cove High School Redbot answered the monitor. "Hey Brody, how's the camping?" Redbot asked out of curiosity but then he saw the look on Brody's face that showed confusion. "What happened?" Redbot asked out of concern. "Just now the Ninja Nexus Prism flew in front of me and gave me back my Power Star, and right after that I was attacked by a bunch of Kudabots" brody told his friend Redbot was surprised by Brody's words "Suffering Circuits, are you okay?" Redbot asked a little scared "Yeah I'm fine" Brody assured his robot friend "But I have a feeling a new threat is on the way. Can you contact the others and have them meet me at the base" Brody asked "Of course I can" Said Redbot happily. Brody thanked Redbot for that. "I can get Levi, He should be with dad now. See you soon Redbot" Brody said and hung up. As he was about to walk towards the car, a bright light came from the sky and Brody was engulfed in it. As the Light faded, Brody noticed that he was no longer on the road. He was in a meadow but didn't know where, and when he turned around he saw that the car wasn't there. Brody became worried but managed to calm down. He looked around to find out where to go and then he saw a small village not too far away but he also noticed that there was a large crystal castle in the village and it caught his attention. "Maybe someone there can help me?" Brody thought and started walking towards the crystal castle.
