Ranger Teams Forgotten by History
Team 1: Power Rangers de la Fuerza Motoriz
(This team is based on Kousoku Sentai Turboranger)
In the year 2004, as Mesogog laid out his rampage across Reefside, a separate threat was looming in the city of Puebla, Mexico. An evil demon from the time of the Aztecs, Zizimit, arose from his prison, which was accidentally destroyed by a land development project. Zizimit controlled an army of darkness called the Azotol, monsters from the underground that fed on human flesh. The foot soldiers of the Azotol were called Azotolites; they had black skin, white masks, white cloth garments that had only one shoulder strap, white boots, and white gloves. Zizimit himself was a giant mass of tentacles wrapping a demonic face, but he could transform himself into a giant warrior once he consumed enough humans.
Zizimit's plan was to kidnap all the humans he could to eat them. To stop him, a man named Dr Pedro Almodovar Casares developed a new technology; an engine that could tap into the Morphing Grid, providing free energy for the world. He called it the "Motor Eterno" or the Eternal Engine. He intended the Eternal Engine to ween the world of its dependency on oil; but he soon found himself converting his brain child to a weapon for defence. He created five morphers based on miniature versions of the Eternal Engine and gave them to five heroic teens.
The first of these was Elian Cruz Acevedo, the local soccer champ who saved Dr Almodovar from a gang of thugs. He was a handsome young man, athletic and fit, five foot eleven, clean shaven with a tan and a head of jet black hair in a Caesar cut. He was given the Red morpher.
The second was Luisa Almodovar Sevilla, daughter of Dr Almodovar. A true high class Mexican beauty; olive skin, blonde hair, green eyes, a saucy smile, standing five foot three. A brilliant scientist in her own right, she was given the Pink morpher.
Following these two was a young man named Gabriel Torres Cruz (no relation to Elian), a young mechanic with a passion for machinery. He had jet black hair, white skin, stood six feet tall, was clean shaven with a cleft shin, brown eyes, and a perpetual frown. He was under an apprenticeship with Dr Almodovar, and so was chosen to be Black.
Then was a local boy from the barrio, Arturo Reyes Mendez. A self-taught Amerindian orphan whose machines made from scrap had caught Almodovar's attention, he was trusted to be Blue. He had long, black hair, bronze skin, stood five foot five, and overall was quite shy.
Finally, Luisa's boyfriend, a lad named Paco Chavez Marques, was trusted to be Yellow. Though lacking in intelligence, he more than made up for it with spirit and heart. Quick with a smile, always ready to laugh, he stood six foot ten, had messy brown hair, a mustache, blue eyes, and a bit of pudge around the belly. He was also one hell of a cook; his tamales were to die for!
The five teens stood together, and through many battles, managed to defeat Zizimit and the Azotol once and for all. The damage from the Azotol's attacks was kept to a minimum; no more than a hundred people total lost their lives. Although Zizimit's attacks had left some damage, the city of Puebla was able to repair it all, and to this day Puebla continues to honor the loss of life brought by the Azotol's attacks, as well as the heroism displayed by the Fuerza Motoriz, or Motor Force as it's translated into English.
Sadly, the Eternal Engine was destroyed in the final battle with Zizimit. However, in the year 2020, Dr Almodovar managed to recreate his magnificent invention, bringing humanity closer to a new era free from oil.
Why aren't these Rangers more well known? There are a handful of reasons; Mesogog's attacks were gaining more national attention in the US, while worldwide many nations were welcoming the new influx of alien immigrants. Furthermore, in spite of Zizimit's power, he was never considered more than a national, not global, threat. In spite of this, the Fuerza Motoriz remain popular in Mexico, to the point that they are considered national heroes.
