Description

Updated Version. Removed the background and added the reflection to the helms' visors. Also tweeked the black accent so it would work well with the Black Ranger.

Well, this is my eighth work from this universe I'm creating, as you might have noticed, I upload them on batches of 3-5 teams at the time, but that's because I tend to work on an idea and as I finish it I move on to the next one and so on until I run out of inspiration xD And well, this is my third batch. About this universe, it is taking quite a while to finish it I know, but life keeps me busy with responsabilities and stuff, but well, enough with boring you guys. I hope you people like it and if you do please leave a comment, I really appreciate them and they help keeping me motivated to continue this work.

About
-----------------------------

So, I really like samurais, maybe not as much as I love ninjas, but samurais are great too. The thing is, I wanted to create a power rangers team based off of samurais, and since PR Samurai aired I hated their costumes, never really cared to watch the series out of my hatred of their costumes, I just felt they looked more like ninjas than they looked like samurais. So I wanted my samurai rangers to have a suit that represented samurai better, and though I know it is not perfect, I really like what I ended up with, and I hope you guys like it too. As for why they are Ronin instead of regular Samurai, well that is because I didn't want their story to ressemble the PRS at all, or at least be as different from them as possible (again, I didn't watch the series so if there are any similarities in the story is really a coincidence) and so I decided to investigate some more into the samurai history and learned that Bushido forced them to serve their country first and their master (Daimyo) second, which gave me an idea for a nice story and a reason for their name. So without further ado, here you have my Power Rangers Ronin Rangers!

Backstory

The original Ronin where a group of Samurai who lost their Daimyo's favor when he turned on the Shogun of their era, hungry of power and feeling he deserved more than what he had been given. Following the Bushido, the Samurai felt joining their Daimyo, Ichirou Ueda in this venture would be a treason to not only their Shogun but to their very own country so they refused to follow his orders which ended up on him shedding of them by giving them one last command, to never commit Seppuku until his death, knowing the Bushido would force them to obey that last command and following up by telling them he no longer favor them effectively turning them into Ronin. Now, the group knew they would not be able to reclaim their honor as Bushi until he was dead and that killing him themselves would only end up in their entire clan to loose its honor, so instead of attacking Ueda directly, they divided to warn the Shogun of the impeding war that was upon him.

Upon arriving at the Shogun's palace, the now Ronin were greeted and welcomed as they used to, due to everyone thinking they were still Ichirou Ueda's most trusted Samurai since Ueda hadn't spread word of them loosing his favor knowing that would draw unwanted attention to what he was planning to do. As the group met with the Shogun, they explained him how they had become Ronin and that their former Daimyo was preparing to war against him and offering themselves to help him battle the traitor, but much to their surprise the Shogun did not believe a word they said, reluctant to believe his most trusted Daimyo would turn on him or even do something to harm him, mostly because so far Ueda had been nothing but a loyal servant to the Shogun. Enraged, the Shogun casted away the Ronin, accusing them of betraying Ueda themselves and that he had no time to listen to their lies.

Surprised by the Shogun's reaction and knowing he was still in danger, the group decided to stop Ueda themselves. Thanks to their high reputation as Samurai, the now Ronin had no trouble finding other Ronin and even some Samurai to join their cause and in a few weeks they had enough men to challenge Ueda in his own lands. Backed up by his traitorous partners, Ueda was more than happy to face his former elite guard, the two armies collided and in a battle that lasted less than a week Ueda and his associates were defeated and executed. With Ueda's death the Ronin thanks those who supported them and were free to reclaim their honor by committing sepukku. In the end though, the Shogun still not believing the rumors of how the Ronin 6 stopped and defeated Ueda's rebellion, labeled them as traitors and gave Ueda a honorific sepulture.

History

In present time, around 10 years before the establishment of Hexagon, Ueda's heir, current head of the Ueda family, Noburo Ueda, disappointed and desperate at how low the family name had fallen since the time Ichirou Ueda was the head of the family, decided to contact him in the hopes of receiving advise as to how return the Ueda clan to its former glory, he contacted a group of dark arts sorcerers to reach the former Daimyo. Unbeknownst to him, Ichirou Ueda was not willing to give proper advise for free, instead, seeing this as his chance to return to the world of the living tricked Noburo into trading places with him for a while so that he could return the honor it once possessed to the Ueda name. After taking Noburo's body, Ueda forced the group of sorcerers to allow him to learn of their power so that he could harness it on his own. The group, not really knowing or caring what his purpose was, agreed, but warned him it would take some time to learn to which he agreed.

After a couple years since Ueda started learning the dark arts, one of the sorcerers' aids noticed Ueda's intention were not good, they were even more wicked than those of the sorcerers and that he could bring forth more evil than the sorcerers, Ueda or anyone else could control so, in an attempt to stop Ueda he decided to call the only people who was once able to stop him. And thus after some investigation he learned of the people who managed to defeat Ueda the first time, he called the souls of the Ronin 6,  Ueda's former Samurai and then Ronin that stood against him and defeated him. This time though since he was not nearly as powerful nor as skilled as the other sorcerers, a connection like Ueda did before was not able, so instead of returning the Ronin 6 to this world, he could only contact their souls for a short period of time, barely enough for him to explain them of the situation and how the world was in peril if Ueda ever succeeded, but they had something to their advantage, it would take at least a decade for Ueda to be ready to make his move, time they could use to prepare for him. The spirits of the Ronin and the sorcerer agreed on passing their abilities down to suitable hosts that they would train, somehow but the sorcerer should provide for a mean to interaction with said hosts and also look for a way to help them face Ueda when they were ready. And so, after the six spirit separated to find a young child to train, the sorcerer, who had to fake his death to not be followed by Ueda's group, after some years passed he reached Hexagon and explaining them of the threat he was preparing for asked to get their help to face Ueda when the time came.

It took more time that it would normally do for Billy and his group to create morphers to channel the power of the Ronin 6 down to their chosen heirs, in part due to not having experience handling this kind of supernatural abilities and part because the sorcerer could only bring the spirits one at the time to have them around long enough for the preparations to be done. Once the morphers were created, one by one the six heirs were brought to Hexagon to create a special morpher for each of them and when they were all ready, Tommy helped the Sorcerer to prepare a base of operations to reunite the six Ronin Rangers, the code name they had assigned to the group, when the time to face Ueda came.

In the present time, five out of the six heirs, Vince Jones, Cole Vernon, Ashley Garfield, Stacy Harper and Roger Vargas have joined the Sorcerer in their HQ and continued their training under Jaden Shiba and Mentor Ji who being Samurai as well could help improve their fighting skills while awaiting for Ueda to make his move. It did not took long though as Ueda's training had came to an end a few years back, instead the past few years he spent improving himself and reviving his former allies to form an army stronger than the one he had before. Of course his powers still had his limits so he focused on reviving the Daimyos who partnered with him to be his generals, infusing them with their most trusted Samurais abilities so that they could fight if needed to. And knowing he could not yet afford a full scale attack, he would call the souls of the samurai who stood by his side to inhabit disposable dummies as he called them, to be his foot soldiers when he needed them. Once he was ready, Ueda who had realized of the Sorcerer's betrayal towards his group, decided his first step on taking over this world should have to stop the ones who once stopped him and thus he stroke down at Highport City where the sorcerer and Ronin Rangers had established their HQ.


It took Ueda by shock when he realized the Ronin had passed down their knowledge and abilities to teenagers, young adults now, but no more than children to him, but these children were strong enough to fend him off. Ueda then made it his goal to destroy them and after many, many failed attempts he almost succeeded until the last of the Ronin Heirs, Ryou Yamauchi intervened, unlike his teammates, Ryou was chosen as a heir from the very same clan the former leader of the Ronin 6 was part of and thus his training had been more strict and long which prevented him from joining the rest of the Heirs until it was completed and take part as the rightful leader of the team. With Ryou's lead and the help of Noburo Ueda with whom the Sorcerer had been in contact with, the Ronins managed to get the upper hand on Ueda once more and after some fierce battles against his Generals who he transformed even further into monsters when they were defeated for the first time, ultimately taking on Ueda himself in a battle that almost levelled the city, but that in the end finished with the Ronin Rangers succeeding in defeating Ueda and returning him to the spirit world, although at the cost of Noburo's life who had returned to his body prior sacrifice of the Sorcerer and who saw it as the only way to finish off Ueda for good.
