Mega Mission

Mega Mission is the first episode of Power Rangers Megaforce. It is the debut of the Mega Rangers and the Warstar aliens. It also foreshadows a war in which the all the past Rangers do battle with a yet unknown armada.

Plot
When malicious aliens make their way to Earth's orbit, Gosei decides to form a new team of teenage heroes to defend the planet and carry on the proud tradition of the Power Rangers.

Synopsis
On his way to school, new kid Troy Burrows dreams of an epic battle between an army of Power Rangers and an alien invasion. The bus driver wakes him up as he's already arrived. Late for class, Troy walks in on a class discussion about who'd be the last species to survive on the planet. While previous answers included insects (according to Emma) and robots (according to Noah), Troy believes humans will be the last species, as when working together, they can achieve anything. As the class discusses, Jake continues to be fascinated by classmate Gia.

Aboard an alien vessel, the Warstar leader Admiral Malkor surveys the Earth with his generals Creepox and Vrak, the former now scouting on Earth.

Emma and Gia decide to go to Ernie's BrainFreeze. However, Emma wants to stop over by the woods to take shots of migrating insect life beforehand. Jake drags Noah along to follow Gia to the BrainFreeze. During Emma's photowalk, she runs into Creepox who nearly sees her.

At the BrainFreeze, Jake orders three ice cream cones from Ernie, the proprietor, one of which he wants to give to Gia. However, as Ernie looks away, a strange gust of wind and sparkling light spirits Jake, Noah, and Gia away one by one.

On a rooftop, Troy is practicing his Karate, when the same energy takes him away. Troy, along with Jake, Gia and Noah find themselves in an underground facility where a giant gold and silver tiki-head introduces himself as Gosei. He reveals that he'd had his robotic assistant Tensou choose the five of them in the long tradition of Power Rangers to defend against an alien threat. Just then, Emma arrives in the same energy that Tensou used to teleport the others. She's brought a picture of one of the aliens (that she'd encountered earlier). Troy realizes that the maquettes that line the wall were the representations of the Rangers he'd seen in his dream. While initially hesitant, Troy and the others agree to take on the responsibility.

Gosei and Tensou teleport them to the city where alien Loogies have begun to rampage. Finding themselves thrust into battle, Troy uses his martial arts skills on the Loogies while Gia engages in a fist fight with them. Noah evades most of the Loogies but manages to hit some of them on accident. Emma uses her SLR camera to stun some of the Loogies while fighting them off, and Jake uses his soccer skills to attack the Loogies with his soccer ball. However, when the Looogies bring out their firepower, the teens realize they need something more. Troy leads them to morph into the Mega Rangers and they use their powers to tip the odds. They even have new abilities, Troy transports himself with a powerful tornado. Emma flies, and Gia and Jake are able to create a quake.

The Warstar send out a new monster when they realize that the Rangers could clean the clocks of their Loogies. The Warstar alien Scaraba wreaks havoc by rolling an Earthen ball, destroying property and chasing citizens. The Rangers defeat him by calling on their Mega Blasters and summoning the Megaforce Blaster.

After defeating the alien, the new Rangers return to the Command Center and vow never to surrender!
