Map Key:

When Jack Rannells and any of his allies walked through the door, they would find themselves on what appeared to be a large studio, complete with movie equipment, along with a large camera hanging from the ceiling that would have its lens straight on the Red Ranger as he walked through. Alot of the equipment was broken in some way, as if a large whirlwind or some struggle came through the environment. They could hear a song in the background play in a loop, which seemed so happy and definitely something that fit onto the set. Along with equipment, other things like colored costumes and helmets lied broken and beaten up in areas, including one red costume that looked like a perfect replica of his own that fluttered down at his feet. The costume was ruined, and had strange words on it made from some kind of writing tool that read things like "Fraud!" and "Loser!" and other hurtful things. After a small moment of silence, suddenly an intercom began to adjust, lights came on and focused on a nearby wall, and a voice flickered from the speakers, sounding suspiciously like a familiar Red Ranger they all knew...

Jack's Development Hell (Prime Awakening) Mmpr10

The lights revealed a poster, showcasing something called the "Super Sentai Rangers!", a movie quoted below to be "A waste of time from a guy trying to grab attention" and "A pretender trying to put forth the idea that he can try to make something of himself." As Jack would take notice of this, the voice began to speak over the music.

"Ha! Yes! Fawn all over my identity! I can't do anything without my costume, cause all I am is a crybaby wannabe! At least with this costume I can be somebody; I won't ever matter to my family, friends, even those who I recruit. I never learn when enough is enough right? But no, enough is never enough. I could never stop, as stupid as I am, I can't stop from doing what I believe is right....too bad not everything I do IS actually right..."

That voice no doubt was easily recognized as Jack's own voice. But of course he was right there, and he wouldn't be able to recall saying those words himself. Were those words mere echoes of himself? This world seemed to be related to him in some way, perhaps this was the true meaning behind why. But of course, the words were twisted in a way, only that the twisted words concealed a truth that Jack himself might not want to admit. How would the young man react to all of this? Would he understand something, or be in denial about something else? Regardless, it seemed that the only way to find out the reason behind this odd scenario is to venture across the studio in order to sort this out.

As Jack stepped through the mirror he felt himself come undone… His very essence taken form him for a split second. It was like his body split in two for a brief moment before boomeranging back together rather violently. Needless to say he felt a little bit put off by the whole situation… Blech… Maybe the “Turbo Taco Takedown: To The Textreme” was NOT the proper choice for lunch before traversing the fabric of space and time to enter a plane of pure thought that only truly existed between his conscious and slumbering selves… The side of extra guac, however, was undoubtedly a mistake…. Ugh… Hold on!... It’s fighten back! HURP!... NOT GOOD!... MMMMmmmm Hoooo boy!... Ok…. Kept it down… WHEW! Ok, so inner reaches of the mind and true feelings and junk… Cool! Lets get on with it.

Wait… This place… seemed familiar. As Jack took in the sights… he… he could have sworn he’d seen this place before, not in a dream or a fractured vision mind you… but in perhaps what was the greatest day of his childhood. ”Is this… The Saban Recording studios?... What the hell happened here?” Jack remembered the mail order contest he had won back when he was younger… round the time that Time Force had come out… He won the chance to spend the day with the cast and appear in an episode. It was a day that he remembered and cherished, yet… It was as if that memory was being tarnished by the state of the studio…

”What?” As the lights focused on him… he could see the other ranger’s suits… broken and tattered… But what caught his attention most… was his own costume. His glorious mantel tarnished and spat upon by the hateful words. He slowly bent down to pick it up, but before he could reach it… the voice began.

”…. Crybaby… Wanna be?” Jack looked at the intercom then to the poster…. ”Heh… heheh… ahahaha…AHAHAHAHAHA! YES! This is it! This is the episode I’ve been waiting for! My darkside has been separated from me and now takes a form of its own! Now I must face my inner demons and go through major character development! I might even get my battalizer! Nagisa! Quinn!” Jack’s voice was…. Excited?... Was he actually enjoying this?! ”This episode is gunna be HUGE! I’m talken at least a two parter!”

Jack’s helmet glinted in the lights from above… His heart burning with ambition and determination. This was it… This was when he proved to himself, both figuratively and literally, that he deserved this suit… and this was where he got the power he needed to continue to defend the world that he loved so much “Alright me… If you really think we’re so pathetic and insignificant, then allow me to personally kick my own ass and knock some sense into that handsome helmeted head of mine… Alright… Lets go guys!” Jack took one look at the devastated set around him… Yeah… A devastated Sentai filming studio… That… That made a lot of sense…. “It’s Morphen Time!” Jack shouted as he rushed forward into the unknown… and towards the first door he could find

It was the second time Nagisa traveled through that mirror to assist a friend. This time it was for Jack and just as she expected his inner world was nerdy, with a rather gloomy and depressing aesthetic but nerdy nevertheless. Nagisa wondered if Jack had been bullied in Zela because of his obsession with power rangers. They had a few reports of bullying sent to the school government but she knew that most of the bullying victims didn't share their experiences. As she studied the area more she realized that it had to be an abandoned studio and by judging from the costumes on the ground it was a place where episodes of power rangers where aired. "Isn't this place just lovely? I especially like that broken helmet over there. Gives it character, don't you agree?" She asked as she walked next to Jack. "Not to mention these messages on the wall. Very inspirational and all. Now let's go and give this shadow a piece of our mind shall we?" She added. It was then when Jack's voice was heard throughout the room. Nagisa still couldn't understand the nature of the shadows too well, were they part of one's personality or just an incarnation of what they hated the most about themselves, one thing was clear though, this creature had to be eliminated and through it's defeat Jack could finally face his sorrow and regret.

"Remember to keep your guard up at all times. We can't afford to be careless. Quinn will protect us but we shouldn't tire them too much. Though having seen the way you dealt with the shadows before I don't think we should have much of a problem. Perhaps we could even use the compo we have prepared. Wouldn't that be... what's the world you nerds use? Ah yes... epic" She said as she gently smacked Jack's back. It was nice that the shadow didn't manage to break Jack's spirit. It wouldn't stop provoking him though, and if it was similar to Quinn's the it was going to bring up some very nasty secrets or emotions Jack might have. She had to be ready to lift his spirit at any time. Nagisa unbuttoned her jacket revealing the shirt she was wearing underneath, the black shirt Jack had bought her the last time they went at the mall. "The cleavage still feels a bit wrong to me but it's not too bad. I thought that since it's such an important mission for you I should put this on. She said as she pointed at the ballerina on the shirt. "Though you have to admit I make nerd look cool, am I not?"

They had been through this mirror before, and this time Quinn was a bit hesitant before they stepped in. The reminder of their own world, their own secrets, it scared them. Jack had a shadow, that thing was for certain, and it was ready as ever to spill his secrets all over the floor. Taking a look at the set, they would be in utter shock really; was this as bad as their world was? "By the looks of it Jack, I'd say you're an attention whore..." They'd laugh a bit, walking with the other two. Usually, they would've walked next to Jack, but they found themself walking behind a bit. After their own prime, they hadn't had the guts to face him at all. "Welp, looks like the Dynamic Duo strikes again, assisting Jack on his travels through his own inner mind!" They'd smile before falling silent for a little bit, it was just so awkward really. Maybe this would level out the playing field, since they now got to see Jack's world as well. "You know Nagisa, we'll have to do this with you soon too. That means we'll get to see what's in that little head of yours as well." They could just see it now, a fashion show runway, or a red carpet event.

Yes, these were a bit fun to think about, but they were hell on whoever had to go through it. It seemed though, that Jack was almost excited about running head first into this crazy world. "Yeah, me and Genovefa can be your eyes, while Fedlimid is our shield." Laughing a bit, Quinn would rub the back of their neck. "Let's just hope there's no fire in here, because you're both screwed if there is. But I'm sure we won't die here, cause I've got a hella lot of substain." Walking and talking, that's usually what made the walks take less time, especially since this place was huge. "Oh right!" They would show off their parasol they had brought, which was rainbow colored. Also he could also see that they had wore rainbow gloves on their hands. "Thought you needed support in anyway possible, so I took on my role. Rainbow Ranger reporting for duty." They'd smile at him, holding the parasol open over their shoulder. "This song is getting distracting, someone please make it stop." Laughing, they'd walk into the block with evoker in hand, ready for anything that came their way.

When they walked through a curtain, inside laid much equipment even more mangled than before, though this equipment also had red stains splattered all over them, Blood maybe? The music was cut off from the outside, making this room eerily quiet all of a sudden as they walked in. In the middle of the room was a figure, fairly lanky, in a fetal position on the floor, his back showing a suspicious crack along it. However, the most damning feature of this figure was that they had clearly identifiable white hair, along with pale skin, and when they got up slowly to turn to Jack, dark red eyes.

But how? This young man was believed to be dead...after all that fighting, a face showed themselves to Jack that he could not possibly forget; it was the face of Nilo Lockwood, once a very good friend of his who lost their life in a battle. The figure was indistinguishable from the real one, did that mean he was truly alive, or was this a construct of this world? Regardless, the situation was eerie, horrifying even that an old friend had returned from the grave to face him now. "Tch....so it's you..." they spat, looking at Jack with pure contempt. "Do you not remember me? It's your friend, Nilo. You left me to die you know. You cried and moaned about your heroship, but you couldn't act that way when it mattered most. And now you will pay here and now. I will grind you into the dirt like I was that day..." Nilo then pulled out of thin air a five-blade star in his hands and gazed at his former "friend". It was as though the entire tone of this world seemed to change into something darker and more horrible than what Jack originally expected. What was this supposed to mean? Was this designed to bring up old wounds, or was there something hidden about this meeting that Jack had yet to see? And furthermore, would he realize it before it was too late...?

Quinn walked in with the others, looking directly at the figure. They allowed what happened to transpire, and allowed Jack to say what he wanted before they added in their input, pulling the evoker off it's holster. "Nilo huh? We finally meet. Though I don't see Jack being the issue here, since your death was an accident and couldn't be avoided from what I heard." They would raise the evoker to their temple, pulling the trigger. The sound of shattering glass would emit as a silver fog covered their feet. They would be quickly lifted up into the air and onto Genovefa's gears. "Don't let him get in your head Jack." Smiling, they would look directly towards the fragment. "Now, let's find out your secrets, shall we?" After that, they would stay silent, this was Jack's moment after all.

Even though Jack burst through the door with reckless abandon and a heroic yell, he quickly fell quiet once he took note of the room he was in... it was... dark... twisted... it all seemed wrong. It took him a second to realize the music was gone. It was a another until he noticed the lone figure standing in the center of the room... N-No... It... It couldn't be... Y-You're dead... Jack held your cold body... It's... no...

"N-...Nilo?..." Without a second's hesitation Jack removed his helmet and let it fall to the ground."Nilo... Is... Is that really you?" Tears began to stream down Jack's face as he silently sobbed. "Y-You're back? You're here... I knew it... I knew you would come back!" With a smile, a laugh, and tears of sadness turning to joy Jack ran to embrace his long lost brother, however... he got only two steps before "Nilo" began to speak.

The coldness in his voice… the… the lack of all emotions except contempt… His words used to bring Jack peace, like they were the words of a kindred spirit, words of companionship and brotherhood… These words, however, bit at Jack like the teeth of a rabid animal.

”Nilo… n-no… I… I didn’t… I tried to…I”Jack felt someone fall to their knees… he thought it was him… but he wasn’t quite sure. All he could see was Nilo draw his weapon… why? There were no shadows here… “Nilo… I can’t fight you…. I don’t want to lose you… No… NO not again!’’ Jack scrambled to his feet and ran to Nilo grasping him by his shoulders. “Please Nilo! Don’t… don’t… make me hurt you… I failed you once… I can’t do it again…” Jack fell to his knees once more, though was able to continue his grasp on Nilo’s shoulders due to a difference in height. “I miss you… I miss you every day. I kept it you know… your helmet. I keep it to remind me what you gave me. You were the only one, the only one who believed in me… If you hadn’t come alone that day… I’d be all alone.” Jack’s grip on Nilo’s shoulders tightened…"Nilo… I’m sorry…."

Jack is useless like this…Someone has to knock him out of it…

Nilo was dead there was no way for him to be real. Nagisa knew that the dead can't back to life no matter what. This place was fueled by Jack's emotions meaning that this Nilo was an incarnation of Jack's regret for his friend's death. Perhaps he had spent many sleepless nights blaming himself for Nilo's demise. However, no matter how sad he was Jack had to move forward, he had to snap out this and finally face his fears.

Nagisa walked to him and placed her hand on his head gently smacking him, it was scary seeing Jack, who was so energetic and full of life a few moment ago, in that state but she managed to maintain her composure for his sake. "Come Jack!" she said in an authoritative tone "Snap out of it already. Your shadow is using any manner of tricks to bring you down you can't allow it to win. You are supposed to be a hero and heroes fight no matter what. This is not Nilo but an illusion, created from your own pain and suffering. Do you think that the actual Nilo would want to see you suffer like this? Stand up and prove to him that you are not a crybaby! Stand up and make your friend proud." She said as she pulled Jack behind her back glaring at the illusion. "You will regret this! Theotokos come forth and teach him a lesson of humility!" She said before she crashed the tarrot card in her arms causing her persona to be summoned next to her.

Nilo, stepped backwards from Jack when he grabbed his shoulders, pulling up a foot to attempt to kick him away. Nilo's face cracked slightly at Nagisa's attack, but merely chuckled, as if the attack did nothing to him. He held his hand up, and a green mist permeated the air around the room. "Wouldn't it have been better that way? After all, me joining you was what caused me to end up the way I did. I'm just a crybaby. All you did was cry about it. Did it ever occur to you why you wore that stupid mask? Cause it wasn't to protect the lives of the people, you already failed to do that." Nilo watched listlessly as jack panicked and his friends came to his aid. Was he this much a wreck after Nilo vanished deep down? Perhaps a hidden side that no one had seen, that Jack too had been feeling regret even beyond what everyone already knew...

"Jack you have to snap out of it so we can get rid of this virus." That's all Nilo was, was a virus now. And in here, his only goal is to mess with Jack. "I got your secrets now. Strike it is. Get ready you son of a bitch." Running up, they would attempt to strike the fragment with their parasol in an effort to down him. "He uses darkness skills, so watch out guys."

''N-Nilo?'' Jacks eyes widened as Nagisa pulled him away... Why was Nilo doing this? Did... did he really hate Jack that much? Nilo's cold stare chilled Jack to the bone. It was Nilo's memory that kept Jack going. It was what he clung to... that someday Jack might see Nilo again... but... this... this was not what he wanted... It's... It wasn't supposed to be like this....

Jack let his eyes flutter shut as Nagisa pulled him away... it... wasn't supposed to be this way...

...Stupid mask?...

... Wait...

''YOU IMPOSTOR!'' Jack shouted as he pulled himself from Nagisa and sprang to his feet. In one fluid motion Jack summoned his tarot card inside his morpher and summoned the hulking frame of Megazord behind him. Rage burned behind his eyes as somehow... the helmet on the ground behind him shattered into a thousand shards and reformed around his head in a red flash.''Nilo... would never... Ever... EVER TALK SHIT ABOUT MY HELMET! He knew what it represented... He understood why I ware it!'' Jack let his rage quell.. now was not the time for this rage.... ''It's true... Nilo is dead because he joined my team... it's true that I am responsible for his death... I have accepted that. I have accepted my failure. But, That dosn't mean that I must give in... No... IT MEANS I HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT NO ONE I LOVE EVER GETS HURT LIKE THAT AGAIN! And if you want to hurt my friends... Nilo or not... I WON'T LET YOU, OR ANYONE ELSE KILL ANYONE I LOVE! NEVER AGAIN!'' Jack rose his fist as Megazord fallowed suit.

''Now... Nilo.... lets see you... GRIT THOSE TEEEEEETH!''

The onslaught of attacks crushed him one after another. First the attack from Quinn, then Jack and Nagisa. His body would be on the ground, crushed under debris. His body began to crumble into shards of glass, slowly eroding from his body onto the floor. He looked up at Jack and smiled innocently. "I knew you wouldn't let it get to you. You really have grown up huh? Don't let small things cloud your judgement, and don't think that one mistake will ruin you. No one is perfect. The other Red Ranger, you actually, is waiting for you in block one. Your father is waiting for you in block four, and several of the team is in block five. You can go to either, or you can go straight to you. If you think you're ready, don't let anyone stop you. You're more mature than you pretend to be. Sometimes you need that mindset in areas. Now go on friend, I'll always be watching, like a guardian angel okay? So make me happy..." he grinned, and his head crumbled, leaving behind a ruined glass structure. Along with that, a heavy weight lifted from Jack's soul. Nilo's death was not his fault, and he shouldn't feel that would end up holding him back. It was not about running and avoiding the problem, but it was about how quickly you can pick up where you left off. He went as quickly as he arrived, and the room was as silent as when the team entered.

One fragment down and now they could head straight towards Jack's shadow and defeat it once and for all. This was the plan that they should follow but... Nilo's fragment spoke about block number 5 where some fragments of the team members would wait, perhaps Jack should face them before he went against his shadow. Then again was it really wise to do such a thing? A battle of big caliber could tire them down and then the shadow would finish them off. With Quinn's abilities they could avoid unnecessary battles but she knew that her powers wouldn't hide them from such powerful enemies.

Nagisa turned to see her team's reaction and both of them seemed eager to see what kind of secrets block 5 had hidden. Truth to be told Nagisa was herself curious about Jack's suppressed emotions, especially since she would probably have to face a fragment of herself there as well as a fragment of Blaez. Jack and Quinn were strong enough to deal with them but was Nagisa going to be of any help? Even now her attacks didn't seem to do much damage to Nilo, if Jack hadn't snapped out of his panicked state then they would still be fighting him. "Guys I know you all want to see what on block 5 but... I'm not sure if it's wise. The fight will be tough, we got lucky that Nilo turned to be vurnable to Jack's attack but our next opponent will most likely have Quinn's skillset to their disposal. They will know our weaknesses and our strengths. Perhaps we should just rush to block 1 and be done with it." She said but her speech wasn't as inspirational as she hoped, her curiosity had gotten the better of her. Being curious about things she shouldn't was the reason she had gained her abilities after all.

Nagisa stared at them one more time. They wanted to see what secrets block 5 could unveil and even though she could end up persuading them Nagisa didn't want to let this opportunity go. Jack had to face his inner demons to become a better leader and Nagisa had to support him in that. She had promised to do her best to aid him and now she had to live up to her word... "Oh alright we are going to visit block number 5. Just so you know I'm going to nag about it till we reach it. It's really going to be a pain in the ass, trust me on that." She said pretending that she wasn't interesting in that room.
