A/N: A story that's been kicking around in my head for awhile now. Hope ya like it.
Prologue: First Meetings
Centuries ago, Magical Britain was on the brink of destruction due to a powerful dark lord known as Quirinus Quirrell, a former human who delved so deep into the Dark Arts, that he became something far darker and more sinister. Quirrell's greatest fear-based weapon was an army of demons, called Demonics, that caused chaos and attacked humans at will. Many believed that this terrible being had in fact become a demon himself, and was attempting to overthrow the devil.
The only thing standing in Quirrell's way of planetary domination were the four greatest sorcerers of the age: Godric Gryffindor, a warrior who valued bravery, courage, and honor; Helga Hufflepuff, who valued trust. loyalty, and friendship; Rowena Ravenclaw, who valued knowledge, wisdom, and a thirst for learning; and Salazar Slytherin, who valued cunning, shrewdness, and had an innate sense of protectiveness towards any and all humans who could perform magic.
When their greatest magics could do only minor harm to the evil Quirrell, the foursome sought out a being who was said to have the greatest magical power of all, but was rumored to only be a myth. They traveled to the other side of the world, to a desert with great magic. There, they found what they could only describe as a castle of unnatural design. After reaching the base of the structure, they declared themselves as defenders of light magic and goodness, and asked to see the master of the palace.
The group was transported to a chamber, whereupon they met a strange metallic creature that called itself Alpha 5. Suddenly, a powerful voice emanated within the chamber, greeting them and calling them by name. The four turned to see a giant head floating within some sort of tube. The head introduced himself as Zordon, a light wizard from the planet Eltar, (which threw the group for a loop), and told them the story of how he'd been imprisoned within the tube.
In return, the group informed Zordon of the terrible events in Britain, and the mission they had taken upon themselves to stop Quirrell. After a short contemplation, Zordon gave the four knowledge of how to access a strange source of magic called the morphing grid, and gave them each two different individual or sets of weapons. He warned them that they would be unable to fully access the grid themselves, as their years of advanced magic would strongly conflict with the grid. He also gave them the knowledge to create great beasts called zords, in case Quirrell somehow had the power to turn his creatures into gigantic minions of evil.
The four returned to England, where they then brought about Quirrell's downfall. They could not destroy him, unfortunately, so they encased him in solid granite, and sealed it deep within the Earth. Years later, they created a school called Hogwarts, where they sealed four of their weapons, one each, within a secret chamber, which was to be guarded by a basilisk. The four then went on separate journies across the country, hiding their other weapons elsewhere.
The truth of the Quirrell wars was hidden, and few knew the truth.
Many centuries later, a young man named Tom Morvolo Riddle Jr., who managed to find records of Quirrell, sought out his resting place. Upon finding it, Riddle, who secretly prefered to be called Lord Voldemort, awoke Quirrell, and used dark magic to turn the demon back to being at least somewhat human, and bound Quirrell to him. A false past was created by Voldemort so that Quirrell could attend Hogwarts, and later become a teacher.
After Voldemort was vanquished by a young infant in 1990, Quirrell stayed undercover as the muggle studies professor at Hogwarts. In 2001, Quirrell became the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, after locating Voldemort's free floating spirit. The two, with Riddle possessing Quirrell, made plans to steal the famous Philosopher's Stone, which was being guarded at Hogwarts by protections set up by Riddle's nemesis, Albus Dumbledore, the school's headmaster.
At the end of the school year in '02, Quirrell had come very close to obtaining the stone and resurrecting Voldemort. He would have too, had it not been for one Harry James Potter, the very same eleven year old boy who had somehow vanquished Riddle as an infant. After Quirrell seemingly turned to dust, Voldemort's spirit escaped.
But, like one Rubeus Hagrid had once described Voldemort himself, Quirrell truly had nothing in himself that was human enough to simply die. The ashes of Quirrell were swept away by an invisible wind, where they would then combine together once more to create a renewed demon Quirrell, who swore his revenge upon Riddle, Potter, the founders, and the entire world.
The Earth's only hope now lay within a forgotten magic, and a handful of young people who aren't even aware of their destiny.
A/N: Welcome to my new story! I hope you all enjoy this newest crossover. A few items that are bound to be brought up: first, the timeline is ten years further along then in the HP novels. Second, this story will take place in fourth year, as the soon-to-be-revealed Rangers will battle during the Tri-Wizard Tournament. I'll be opening a poll to see who you all think will be the Rangers (it's set in stone), just for fun, since I've never done a poll before.
Let me know what ya think. See ya!
