Opaque Playmates, Part 1

 is the season premiere of Power Rangers Renaissance. It tells the story of how the conflict that initiated the universal competition for Earth arose.

Plot
In the royal palace of Isolde... The man could not help but unleash a heavy sigh. His arms were crossed, probably calming himself and trying to ease the trembling of his nervous body. He never felt as afraid as before but the man strives to hide it; considering the expectations from a king like him.

"Your highness, the foreign visitors are on their way," a lofty voice echoed throughout the grand hallway, "Piercing through the thick clouds in their flying wagons!" It was Admiral Bryce, whose plentiful courage and confidence placed him in his rank.

"Admiral, I already know of this things." the king countered the haughtiness of his man. He proceeded outside with the silenced admiral, while the sophisticated queen stayed in the throne room.

King Cassius the Third, ruler of Isolde, is now shivering from the coldness brought by fear and chill originating from the sights of the grotesque visitors. ~*~ At the Parthannax airships... "Perhaps they expected our entrance." a superior alien thought.

"My lord, Emeraldblood, how should we descend?" an alluring yet otherworldly being named Enobaria spoke, wanting to spark some conversation to break the silence that has been surrounding the airship for the whole journey. Yet her tries bore no fruit.

Emeraldblood replied with hand signals and it meant ' bombardment'. Immediately, sounds of explosions and falling stone debris were heard, even in the Parthannax airships that were a lot of feet above the ground floors. ~*~ Back at Isolde... Queen Titania sat by the stained glass window and basked in the sunlight, but a sudden burst of shock did she felt when a large shadow cast upon the whole palace. She made her quickest run to her spouse who was watching by the gate of their grandeur mansion. Her eyes followed where the king's sight was placed at, and she saw a line of firearms and cannons firing and being fired.

''Structures withering in the smoke and devouring flames, townspeople running for their lives, debris falling from almost everywhere... No one was safe.''

The Parthannax airships landed on the commodious grounds where some buildings were formerly situated, and footsoldiers rushed out of their doors. Bowstriders and fallenhooves, those are what they name themselves, chased their own targets and making the Isolde kingdom look like a fallen anthill from a bird's eye view. ~*~ Inside the royal palace... The king was strategically making plans for simultaneous resistance and evacuation, and Admiral Bryce had just replaced Queen Titania in her basking position, leaving the queen in her bedroom and cooling down herself from pressure and fear.

"My highness!" three voices spoke the same three syllables. They were Arthur, Benedict, and Fendrel; the king's least trusted and mighty knights. This connotation comes into every mind that sees or mentions them, and nothing can erase that.

The king suddenly spoke at the middle of drawing maps, his eyes focused on his activity, "Oh, there you are! I've been looking for you." At least, the trio knew they had some importance.

"What is it, my king?" Arthur attended.

King Cassius III turned his head to them and directed, "I want you to go to the kingdoms of King Darius and King Lance. According to recent reports, their kingdoms are still untouched by these 'Parthannax' beings. Go get help from their military forces and also, seek refuge and medical support." The king returned to his planning maps and yelled "Go!" since the knight trio was temporarily pressured with the instructions they were given.

Arthur, Benedict, and Fendrel prompted and went on their way to the destinations provided. They packed up their brittle battle gears, in case they get assaulted, because there was no more time to get stronger weapons. At the continuous rhythm of loud explosions, they ran into the deep forest that connected Isolde with the whole continent. ~*~ End of Episode
