New Yorkers screamed for their lives as they ran down Times Square to avoid being crushed by the two hundred foot tall gorilla chasing after them.

Instances such as these had become the norm. Average days suddenly warped into an event of terror. Some kind of mindless creature attacking innocent civilians all to goad one man into action.

The gorilla’s arms, as thick as the buildings around him, slammed into the skyscrapers that lined the block. Glass shattered, concrete flew onto the sidewalk and crushed anyone unfortunate enough to be in its path.

One woman, holding onto a baby, froze in fear. The animal’s foot, raised to take another step forward, descended upon her. In mere moments, she’d be crushed, her life reduced to nothingness.

At that very instant, they finally arrived.

“Speed transcending light!” screamed a Mastodon Sentry.

“Strength to topple mountains!” screamed a second identical Mastodon Sentry.

“Endurance to withstand meteors!” screamed a third Mastodon Sentry.

“Perseverance to overcome any challenge!” screamed the fourth Mastodon Sentry.

“Go Go, Power Ranger.”

His glistening Rainbow Armor was terrifying to behold. Yet the mother still let the tears of joy well in her eyes at the sight of him.

Lord Drakkon, Emperor of the Universe, stopped the gorilla by simply extending his arm into the air.

“So it’s King Kong today?” he asked. “Another trifling ape comes into my kingdom. Like fools, they don’t realize this jungle already has a ruler.”

King Kong exerted as much force as his body could muster. The concrete around Drakkon cracked from the pressure of his body weight, but the Ranger didn’t budge an inch.

With his other hand, Drakkon angled his fingers carefully. One single flick to the gorilla’s big toe created a multicolored explosion that sent him flying at supersonic speeds. Higher and higher the animal flew, until its silhouette disappeared behind the skyline and they left this planet entirely.
