Earth, considered by many as just a rock in space with its dominant race of bipedal primates constantly at war with itself over resources, territory, and money. But, as of this moment, on the night of June 12th<\/sup>, 2301, if one would look up, they would see three meteors, one white, one gray, and one black. The meteors landed outside of town, then three women crawled out of the craters. They all wore the same outfit design; a knee-high skirt with plenty of petticoats and roses around the hem as well as a royal cathedral train normally found on wedding dresses, a rose with pearls and leaves in the right side of their hair, white tights and leotards with a gem over their navels, a ring on their right ring finger, a bracelet around their left wrists, a ribbon tied into a large bow on the backs of their waists, opera gloves, puffy shoulders, ballet flats, ear studs, a necklace with a gemstone set in it, a gold makeup compact attached to their right hips, and a crown on their foreheads. The outfits\u2019 main colors, however, were totally different, just as the ladies wearing them. One of the ladies was a woman with African features and an hourglass body shape, but her hair and eyes were snowy-white as was the rest of her outfit. The second lady was pale, had the same hourglass figure, and had long black hair. The only things white on her were her tights and leotard. The rest of her outfit, including the gemstones, were as black as her hair and eyes. Both ladies were eight feet tall. The last lady (standing at seven and a half feet tall) was plump, had pale skin, gray hair, gray eyes, and while her leotard and tights were white, the rest of her outfit was gray. The one in white looked around. \u201c\u2026Town seems remote enough,\u201d she remarked. Grace, Belinda, how do the locals measure time?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSame as us, Wilma,\u201d replied the one in gray. \u201cAnd all the other planets we visited. \u2026I just can\u2019t believe we have to base ourselves on such a regular backwater world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe trained the Roses on those planets,\u201d soothed the one in black. \u201cThose planets will be fine.\u201d Just then, her compact flashed. \u201cA call?\u201d she muttered. She opened her compact and looked in the mirror. A man\u2019s face then appeared. \u201cGeneral Williams!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEmpress Belinda! Thank the Cosmos!\u201d the man sighed in relief. \u201cAre your fellow Empresses-?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re here, General!\u201d replied the woman in white, Wilma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat happened?!\u201d asked the woman in gray, Grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Entroopers attacked us!\u201d explained Williams. \u201cWe\u2019re barely holding on! We need to land to effect repairs!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet me send you landing coordinates!\u201d replied Grace. She pulled a little number pad out and typed in the coordinates. \u201cDid you get them?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll land as close as possible there,\u201d answered Williams. \u201cBut be prepared for combat. The Entroopers may attack!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUnderstood,\u201d replied Belinda. She then closed her compact. \u201cSuppose we\u2019d better greet them.\u201d The three headed to the coordinates they indicated and kept a lookout. In true fashion to ships of their planet, the refugee ship appeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRight on top of the coordinates!\u201d chuckled Wilma. The doors opened. \u201cWelcome, friends, to a bastion of\u2026\u201d What came out wasn\u2019t humanoid like Wilma and her friends! It was a gray creature with limbs like a humanoid, but it had four fingers, a pair of chelicerae, black orbs for eyes, horns on its head, and two toes on its digitigrade feet! \u201cNO!\u201d wailed Wilma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cENTROOPER! ENTROOPER!\u201d shouted the creature! More of its comrades spilled out of the ship with four humanoid men coming out behind them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFool!\u201d taunted one of the men. \u201cHave you forgotten my ability to mimic voices?! This planet has been set aside for me and I intend to finally kill you weeds! Entroopers, destroy the Cosmic Roses! And quit with the whole \u2018ENTROOPER\u2019 thing! It\u2019s no longer necessary!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAw, but it\u2019s fun!\u201d complained an Entrooper. The man then leveled his cane at the offending Entrooper. \u201cB-BUTWEWILLOBEY!\u201d yelped the Entrooper. The gems on the ladies\u2019 navels then glowed as something appeared in each of their hands. Wilma had a lantern, Grace had a spear that looked like scales, and Belinda had a long silk scarf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEMPRESS LIGHT LANTERN FLASH!\u201d announced Wilma. A bright light then shot out, blinding the Entroopers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEMPRESS BALANCE SPEAR JUDGEMENT!\u201d called Grace. She twirled her spear and the scales slammed into the Entroopers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEMPRESS DARK VEIL SHADOW!\u201d shouted Belinda. Her scarf grew and wrapped around the Entroopers, cocooning them until they sunk into the shadows. That didn\u2019t deter the Entroopers. They still came pouring out of that ship!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

It was the start of summer vacation for three girls! The leader of this troupe was a short Japanese-American named Ruby Kobayashi, the brains was a plump girl of African descent named Bethany Williams, and the hothead was a rather skinny girl named Yazmyn Jacobson. \u201cSummer vacation, let\u2019s GOOOO!\u201d cheered Yazmyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have to admit, even the science teacher was getting to me,\u201d muttered Bethany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, what\u2019s first for us today?\u201d mused Ruby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re the leader, you ought to know!\u201d cackled Yazmyn as she clapped Ruby on the back, nearly bowling her over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe could check out that museum exhibit that opened,\u201d mused Bethany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeth, Babe, it\u2019s SUMMER,\u201d said Yazmyn. \u201cWe don\u2019t need to learn!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you learn when nobody\u2019s making you do it,\u201d replied Bethany, \u201cit counts as fun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe\u2019s got a point,\u201d remarked Ruby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, this girl\u2019s only looking for fun and learning\u2019s never been fun for me!\u201d countered Yazmyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlease yourself, but we really SHOULD do something that Bethany would like,\u201d said Ruby. \u201cHow about this; we head to that exhibit tomorrow and go to the arcade today, hm?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026Sounds all right,\u201d replied Bethany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFine, we can do that,\u201d muttered Yazmyn. \u201cStill gotta spank ya!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cExcuse me, you mean I gotta spank YOU!\u201d chuckled Ruby. Before the banter could continue, they heard a noise that sounded like \u201cENTROOPER!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026You girls heard that too, right?\u201d asked Bethany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSounds like a grunt from a Tokusatsu show,\u201d remarked Ruby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaybe they\u2019re filming some new Power Rangers<\/em> thing?\u201d asked Yazmyn. \u201cYou know, the American footage to go with the original Super Sentai<\/em> fight footage?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPower Rangers<\/em> are making their own fight footage these days,\u201d said Ruby. \u201cMaybe it\u2019s a fan parody. Let\u2019s check it out.\u201d The girls followed the noises carefully. They saw a group of Entroopers with hostages tied up. They were dancing around, shouting \u201cENTROOPER!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026I\u2019m amazed their costuming department could get digitigrade legs to work,\u201d mused Bethany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026Wait, look!\u201d yelped Ruby. She pointed at the hostages! They were Ruby\u2019s parents, Daichi and Hannah, her brother Mako, Bethany\u2019s parents, Bob and Heather, and Yazmyn\u2019s grandparents, Bill and Margaret!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAre they extras?\u201d asked Yazmyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, look at them closely!\u201d urged Ruby. Her friends did so and goggled in terror! Their families were clearly beaten!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOkay, that\u2019s way too real to be makeup!\u201d said Yazmyn. \u201cWe gotta get in there and\u2026what\u2019s that in his hands?\u201d She pointed out an Entrooper with a device in his hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think we better see what they intend to do with it,\u201d remarked Bethany. The Entrooper then keyed something into the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026I know exactly what they intend to do with it!\u201d hissed Yazmyn. \u201cThat\u2019s a bomb and he\u2019s armed it!\u201d She rushed into the group of Entroopers, taking their guns and firing at them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYAZMYN, WAIT!\u201d shouted Ruby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHEY! THAT\u2019S IMPERIAL PROPERTY!\u201d shouted an Entrooper as he realized it was one of HIS guns Yazmyn had. No dice. Yazmyn fired, downing quite a few Entroopers. Ruby and Bethany rolled their eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf all the times!\u201d complained Ruby as she grabbed a steel rod. She swung it like a sword and bashed a few Entrooper heads. Bethany found a nearby metal garbage can lid and frisbee\u2019d it into more Entroopers. The girls fought their way to their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRuby! What are you doing here?!\u201d asked Mako.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRescuing you guys by blindly charging into these monsters, it looks like!\u201d replied Ruby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026So\u2026who\u2019s going to save you three?\u201d asked Bob.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHadn\u2019t planned that far ahead, Papa,\u201d replied Bethany. \u201cYazmyn just charged in!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIs now REALLY the time for a lecture on how reckless I am?!\u201d argued Yazmyn. More Entroopers appeared, replacing their downed comrades. \u201c\u2026Okay, I admit it, I bit off more than I could chew here!\u201d gulped Yazmyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf this IS the end,\u201d said Bethany, \u201cI want you to know that no matter where we go\u2026I\u2019m gonna be smacking you upside the head repeatedly for being this stupid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEMPRESS BALANCE SPEAR JUDGEMENT!\u201d called a new voice. A new woman then appeared and performed what could only be described as her Magical Girl Attack, destroying the Entroopers. Everyone goggled when they saw Grace reveal herself. \u201cWILMA! BELINDA! OVER HERE!\u201d she called. Her friends, Wilma and Belinda, then arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026If I weren\u2019t in a bit of pain right now,\u201d said Bethany, \u201cI\u2019d say this was a dream.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhere three Magical Girls just saved our butts?\u201d asked Ruby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA rather vivid dream,\u201d remarked Daichi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t stay here!\u201d urged Belinda. \u201cWe\u2019ll get to safety and explain everything while we heal you all!\u201d Belinda then extended her silk scarf, wrapped around everyone, then they all vanished, shocking the Entroopers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
