Luke, Katherine, Thomas, Jane + Mark were just 5 ordinary kids w/ special talents. Luke is a born-leader + a great stratigest, Katherine is a bit of a science geek + likes 2 build things, Thomas is a fighting + athletic jock, Jane is very creative + artistic + Mark is a peacemaker. All they knew about their families' past was that either their mothers or fathers died + left them a necklace. What they didn't know was that they were the 2nd generation of Forest Rangers. One day when they were in the forest at the same place, same time, they meet Ivy. Ivy is their mentor or in gardening terms, "care-taker". Just before they could learn anything, there is an attack. They go in their ranger forms + save a little girl. Luke finds a pin belonging to the girl after they get her home safely, a Mockingjay pin. They didn't know that they were going to see her again as the Rainbow Samurai Ranger. As they learn who they are, they find out that the attack was the beginning of a new evil. The Forest Rangers must stop this evil before it is too late to save the forest.
