Episode/Chapter 1 and plot twist rough outline.

So back during 2002-ish, Kids WB wanted a live-action toku show to compete with power rangers on fox/abc. So they got this guy to create an all-american toku show for the network. It ran for 51 episodes, but ratings started dropping near the end as people said it was stagnating. So the show ended with a cliffhanger of the heroes escaping a hideout without their suits, and the villain supposedly surviving (not left clear). The show was canned after that.

 

10 years later, Spike is just doing some UrbEx when he comes across a hideout, which has an advanced computer and near-perfect replicas of the suits. He assumed it was an unused set for season 2, and decides to have a party there. So he invites Tiffany, Kurt, and Crawford to his party.

 

Meamwhile, Amanda overhears them, and decides that she should secretly follow them to the hideout just to see where it is, even if she wants nothing to do with them.

 

So they're at the party, and Spike is about to put the suit on for shits and giggles. But Amanda comes out of hiding and tells him not to do that because she doesn't want him ruining it. Spike doesn't listen, and Kurt, Crawford, and Tiffany also put on the suits, Amanda also puts the remaining one on as if she's going to battle them. But then, something happens.

 

A ridiculously humam AI shows up on the monitor, and is basically "you are next in line for the warriors soandso." Everyone sorta goes along with it, to the AIs suprise, as it turns out they are all very genre savvy. But as soon as they leave the hideout, they joke about it and say that its BS.

 

The next day, everyone wakes up with a new App on their phones. They try using it with no luck. Also, a monster and some mooks are attacking the city. The AI calls STACK (Spike Tiffany Amanda Crawford Kurt) on their phones and tells them that they need to henshin pose WITH the smartphone AND with the app open in order for it to work. They do just that and then boom, powered armor. So they beat the monster, only to find the villain from the old TV series on the screen, with a scar on his face. He says "blahblahblah revenge I guess" and disappears.

 

The rest of the series plays out almost like a regular sentai, but explores some areas the others don't (secret identities, collateral damage, etc.) While the tone with be a balance of the serious and the comedic. ALSO, PEOPLE FILM THE BATTLES ON THEIR PHONES. THIS IS IMPORTANT.

 

SPOILERS FROM THIS POINT ON.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It turns out that the villain from the old show was an actor all along, and the real mastermind was the original creator of the show. See, he wanted to make a season 2, that would have actual battles in the city. Kids WB thought he was crazy and kicked him out. So for the next ten years, he worked with people on making the suits and gene-splicing for the monsters. And those people filming the battles with their phones were HIRED. The creator was going to make season 2 sorta found footage, and was broadcasting it over America the entire time. This is wrong because he still endangered the lives of hundreds of citizens.
