Present Day Zonbu's Ship Outer Space The ship was filled with Narabots who all were in a kneeling position, their heads looking down at the floor simply waiting for something. Before them stood the villainous Baku who paced back and forth on the ship almost impatiently. Suddenly a wormhole opened up before them, a great dark energy emitting from it. Baku then took his own kneeling position. The hole expanded violently as a Warrior emerged. The being looked around at his soldiers with a twisted smirk on his face. "Ahh... Finally... I have returned from Limbo... BAKU!!!" His voiced boomed throughout the entire ship as Baku looked up at his master. "Master Zonbu... I am relieved to see you once again!" Baku stood and bowed to his master. "I trust things are in order for our attack to earth?" the Dark Lord asked as he sat in his throne like seat on the ship. "Show me this generation's Power Rangers..." Baku chuckled with delight "That's the best part master... Ikamashi has yet to find any... your timing is just perfect... no Rangers to protect the city he resides in now... the nearest Rangers are in a place known as Southern Cross... nowhere near Ikamashi... We start there... then we can begin to conquer every city after.... then the world my lord!" Zonbu cackled as he gave a nod of approval to Baku "Excellent... the old fool cannot protect the city on his own... Prepare the Narabots... they will be more than enough to take over... Baku... this will be our time... Takashi will fall... and the Ninja Stars will be mine to destroy!" The Narabots stood in unison bowing down as Zonbu smirked opening multiple wormholes with a simple point of his finger, all of his henchmen jumping into them. ------- Angle Grove Isaiah rushed over to his huge computer monitor as the alarms in the Dojo sounded. There was an energy spike unlike anything he had seen. This could only mean one thing, the eventful day had arrived. Zonbu had returned. The spike died down and there was no doubt in Isaiah's mind the time was upon them. "Sensei! He's Back!" An elderly Man walked up beside the young man stroking his beard looking over the alerts on screen. "I see... Zonbu has returned... Isaiah... it is time we called upon our Rangers." Isaiah grinned pressing a few buttons on his keyboard. "I'll send the Scouter Birds. They've got a lock on the energy signatures of the Ninja Stars! Guess we find out who the stars chose... I'll input the coordinates to the Zen Garden. A chirping sound was heard as three mechanical birds flew onto Isaiah, two resting on his shoulders and the third on his head. "Alright guys... Find the Rangers!" He smiled as they took off all heading in different directions. Isaiah stood next to Sensei Ikamashi watching his inventions fly off. "The stars will have chosen wisely I am sure... this city can not afford for them to have not to" Takashi stated placing a hand on Isaiah's shoulder. Isaiah nodded understanding that whoever the stars had chose those would be the ones meant to protect this city and potentially the world, it was hard to hide the disappointment in his face. The past few weeks had been spent watching the Ninja Stars fly off one by one to choose a Ranger. Isaiah would stare at the Red Star hoping and praying it would choose him, but no avail. Whoever it was that was to be the Red Ranger, they had a huge task ahead of them. But then again so did all of the soon to be Rangers. (OOC: Alright guys, do whatever your character would be doing in the middle of the day, your Star will glow and a Scouter bird will arrive giving you a map coordinate!)

Shotaro was on the roof of his home meditating sitting crosslegged with his eyes closed "I am one with the grid the grid is my guiding light in the darkness there is no good without evil but evil must not be allowed to flourish I stand as a stalwart Guardian of the grid the grid gives me power the grid gives me strength the grid defends me as I defend it I am Hikari" Shotaro repeated the mantra of his clan again and again as he focused on his breathing Suddenly he stopped meditating he could sense something coming although he didn't know what it was he just knew that it felt menacing and evil Shotaro then saw something come flying at him catching it he realized it was a red ninja star he held the star in his palm and looked at it quizzically "Is this?" All of a sudden a metal bird came by and gave Shotaro some coordinates "Right!" He said enthusiastically as he used his ninja streak and began running towards the coordinates provided

Abby had found the White Ninjastar a while ago, just lying on her bed. At first she thought her grandfather was trying to trick her something, but she kept it a secret just in case it actually was real.
As she walked home completely unaware of Zobu's return the Star inside her bag started to glow. It took her a few moments to notice something was happening but as soon she spotted the white light she ducked into an empty alley.
Nervous Abby took the Star out, wondering if her grandfather's stories about his uncle were true after all. She pulled out her phone to call him when she spotted a strange bird coming straight at her. Figuring that two such odd things happening to her almost couldn't be coincidence she looked over the bird. The fact that was mechanical barely even shocked her at that point. Having seen the coordinates she typed them in learning that they were pretty close to her location.
Despite being somewhat suspicious that she was headed for a trap or that she was being tricked after all Abby decided to at least check the place out and changed direction to the Zen Garden.

Shotaro continued to streak past the buildings and rooftops of Angel Grove feeling the wind on his face as he ran he didn't know what to expect once he reached his destination however at the moment he was too excited to really consider the ramifications that maybe this might be a trap of some kind Shotaro remembered his parents mentioning other clans that also fought against the the Nara and he knew that some of them even had their own Rangers even though the Hikari didn't have their own Ranger powers to speak of. He knew the timing couldn't be coincidental after all he had felt a disturbance in the Universal Morphing Grid and then received this red ninja star shortly afterwords
Shotaro was the first to arrive at the coordinates provided by the scouter bird.However, when he got there he saw that there was nothing except a wall and he was in an alley wondering what to do next he decided to sit down crosslegged and wait obviously there was a reason he was at this alley he just didn't know what it was

Due to her doubts as to what was going on Abby took a bit longer to arrive at the coordinates the weird bird gave her then was strictly necessary. Having had some time to think it over she no longer believed it was a trap, it would be too difficult to set up after all. On the other hand if she really got one of the Ninja Stars there was a good chance it was a trap. After all she knew all too well what the stars were capable off and how badly Zonbu wanted them. As a result she didn't go straight to where she was told to go and stayed on the more crowded routes as much as possible while occasionally looking behind her several times to see if she was being followed.
Since she didn't spot anyone suspicious after about fifteen minutes of walking Abby decided to risk it, however her nerves came back in full force when she realized she was being guided to a dead end alley, the fact that someone was already there waiting for her didn't help. Sure the guy looked human but she didn't trust the situation at all.

Shotaro stood up and saw that there was a girl in the alley with him he didn't know who she was but she didn't look a shinobi although at the moment neither did he because he was wearing a black jeans jacket with a Metallica T-shirt with black jeans and Converse sneakers
Shotaro approached the girl warily fishing the red ninja star from his jeans jacket pocket
"Are you the one who gave me this what clan are you from?" He asked the female OOC (sorry I forgot to say what Shotaro was wearing also I'm just going to use bold text when Shotaro speaks Japanese because I don't actually speak Japanese and I don't trust Google translate LOL)

At first Abby was kinda nervous when she spotted Shotaro, after all she was alone in an alley with a stranger. She did relax somewhat though when he took out his ninja Star. Reaching into her bag she did the same. "I can honestly say I'm not and my family isn't a clan in the way you mean but we do have some history with these stars."
She wondered if the whole coordinates thing was just to get her and this boy to meet up or if there was anything special about this alley. "So since you've been here longer then me did you notice anything about this place?"

Shotaro listened to Abby explain her family history and nodded with understanding "I see" he said she then asked if he had noticed anything about this alley they were in
"Honestly no I can tell that the morphing grid's energy is strong here but that's about it I think there's a reason we're here though I mean you don't exactly find these things falling off trees" Shotaro said pointing at their ninja stars "There are only a handful of people capable of creating powers like this. "I just wish I knew what they wanted with us" Shotaro said running his hands through his hair in frustration "Ah mou I hate being jerked around!" Shotaro shouted in Japanese

Cory Hunter
Cory sat in his bed staring at his Ninja Star. It had been glowing since the morning. This could have meant a number of things... But Cory had a theory. The other two Rangers were found. Cory had heard the legends passed down for generations. Of how his relation to the Shizuki Clan had produced a New Ranger every other generation and now it was his turn. He perked up at the sound of tapping on his window checking out what was making the noise.
He saw the scouter bird and made his way over opening the window. The bird opened its mouth releasing a hologram projection of some coordinates. Cory jotted them down and grabbed his motorcycle keys shuffling downstairs his one bed room apartment.
He closed the front door behind him and hopped on the bike revving it up as he made his way following the map on his GPS. The sound of hi engine loud to the other two as he pulled into the alley. He turned the bike off and hopped off looking at the two standing in the alley. "Hmph... so... it's you guys huh?"

Shotaro turned and saw that another person had come into the alley via a motorcycle and was already being somewhat snide towards him and Abby "Hmph... so... it's you guys huh?"
"And what exactly do you mean by that? Shotaro said defensively

While Abby wasn't too happy with what the newcomer said either she had no interest in starting a fight and didn't react. Instead she decided to investigate the alley since there had to be hidden something there. After all as the Asian looking guy was right there had to be a reason they were led there.
She doubted there would be instructions to a different meetingspot as those might be too easy to miss so tat left a secret entrance of some kind At first sight there was nothing that really stood to Abby but that made sense as it wouldn't be obvious. Her first though was to look under or behind the dumpster but she rejected that idea because anyone could move it.
So instead while ignoring the other two she started knocking on the walls to see if she could a hollow sounding spot.

Cory Hunter
Cory ignored Shotaru's question as he walked over to the wall that Abby was inspecting before noticing what would look to be graffiti to anyone else. But Cory recognized the Kata or symbol of The Ikamashi. He thought long and hard before pulling out his Ninja Star as it began to glow brightly. He placed his hand against the symbol on the wall and suddenly was sucked through it disappearing before the others.
On the other side of the wall Cory stood in the center of what looked to be an abandoned dojo. All around him were rocks, sand, and plants. A small river making splashing noises as fish could be seen swimming about. The area was quite peaceful as Cory looked around before pulling out his ninja star which continued to glow even brighter now.

The newcomer pulling out the Blue Star got Abby's attention but before she could say anything he disappeared into the wall. Curious she placed her hand on roughly the same spot he did with nothing happening at first. she then noticed the symbol. "Oh there is some kind of mark." After moving her hand to the right spot her own Star started to glow as well and she was brought to the Zen garden.
Abby looked around the mostly empty place. While it did fit the whole Ninja aesthetic she had expected something more high tech. Still the place was impressive in it's own way. That said the brightly glowing blue Star really held her interest and she approached it's owner while her own Star also glowed brighter and brighter."Hey, my grandfather's uncle used that star last time. Kinda surprised I got white instead."

Shotaro saw the other two disappear after they touched the symbol of the Ikamashi clan Shotaro swore under his breath for not noticing it before as well. "May the light of the grid protect me" Shotaro said as he touched the symbol as well landing next to Abby and Cory although he chose to ignore Cory as his ninja star began to glow inside the ruined dojo landscape he turned toward Abby "We never got formally introduced I'm Shotaro of the Hikari clan it's a pleasure to meet you" he said extending a hand for her to shake

Cory Hunter
Cory looked to Abby seeing her White Star and nodded. "The White Star is said to go to the most cunning in legends..." He then showed his star "The Blue to the one who has the fiercest warrior... and the Red to..."
Before he could finish Shotaru appeared. "Well... not sure if that one fits this guy yet..." Cory smirked knowing Shotaru hadn't heard the previous conversation.
He then began to look around and then noticed Shotaru introduce himself to Abby and shook his head. "Instead of pleasantries how about more observational skills? Isn't this a little suspect to you guys? A whole Garden... yet no one to greet us? Come on..." Cory especially shook his head at Shotaru as he folded his arms.
