Disclaimer: I am not Bob Iger, therefore I don't own Disney and therefore I don't own the rights to Power Rangers. However, if I did, I would've decreed that the very plot and character elements that were in Power Rangers in Space, as well as in Disney's Gargoyles, would be implemented in the series.

Prologue-75 Million years ago…

75 million years ago…

Long before the first caveman ever came into existence, and back when the only common mammals were small rat-like creatures…dinosaurs ruled the earth.

While they had already been around for millions of years, it was during a time in their era where these animals truly were in their heyday. All over the world herbivores and carnivores of every kind were flourishing in a way they never did in the past two periods before. It was also during a time where some of the fiercest, as well as some of the most well-known dinosaurs had come into existence.

In all, if one could actually see it for themselves, one could easily think that these creatures would be around for a long time to come still.

But it wouldn't be so.

Because even though these creatures were indeed in their heyday, their heyday was unfortunately a calm before the storm.

For far deep out in space, a piece of rock about 10 miles wide was hurtling through space at an incredible speed. While that wasn't unusual, for other asteroids had hurtled through space before and either ended up hitting other planets, Earth's moon, or even the sun, this one unfortunately, was on a path that would ultimately bring it in contact with Earth. While it wasn't the first asteroid to impact Earth, it would pretty much be the one that would change the course of history.

However, though it appeared like any other asteroid, there was one difference that set it apart from the others. For inside the rock itself, there were six strangely colored gemstones embedded in its side.

The stones had actually been placed there not too long ago by an advanced humanoid race from Eltaire, a planet in a galaxy far away from Earth's. War had broken out horribly between Eltaire and some other neighboring planets in that galaxy at that time, and it didn't take long for everyone on that planet to realize that the galaxy was slowly becoming more and more dangerous. However, despite this, they weren't about to give up hope, especially since the Morphing Masters, a team of sage-warriors that Eltaire had assembled, were fighting valiantly against their oppressors and had been successful in slowing down Dark Specter's attempt to take over their galaxy and then ultimately, the rest of the universe. However, as the years went by dark forces began to grow and become more powerful, and as such new powers would have to be created. But to make sure Dark Specter and his forces would not try to take the powers/weapons that had been created specifically to fight them (for they had tried many unsuccessful attempts to steal them), the power sources/munitions would be discreetly hidden in different parts of the universe or hidden among the sage-warrior's families.

One sage-warrior in particular, decided to venture out into the borders of the Milky Way Galaxy to hide some of the power sources and once there he, with the help of his best friend (who would later become his wife) hid them in a rock in the outer asteroid belt. Since the power sources were made out of the same minerals as the rocks themselves, it would be pretty difficult for anyone to find them should they trace them here.

Once the two were sure the power sources were hidden well, they returned back to their own galaxy to assist their friends, not really thinking much about the rock they hid the six power sources in, other than believing that they would be safe.

Ultimately Eltaire won and had beaten Dark Specter's forces so severely he had to withdraw them, but he was far from admitting defeat and as such he vowed one way or another that he would get his revenge on them somehow, regardless if it took years, decades, centuries, or even a millennia.

So while the people of Eltaire helped with the recovery efforts and later celebrated their victory…other events were about to unfold.

Sometime later, the asteroid with the six gemstones had collided with another asteroid, knocking it off its orbit around the galaxy and sending it literally, on its way and into the solar system itself.

At first it was traveling at a slow, steady speed, but then as it passed different planets the gravity on those planets caused its speed to pick up and by the time it passed Mars, it was moving blindingly fast.

Now the gems that were inside the rock were completely unaffected by the impact made by the other rock or even the speed, but when it hit the other rock part of its side had cracked slightly and was a little loose. Fortunately the six gems were still firm enough embedded in the rock to where they didn't come loose at all.

But as the asteroid approached the asteroid belt that bisected through part of the solar system it hit several rocks like a bowling ball as it passed through it, knocking other rocks out of their usual orbit and causing them to be caught up in its gravity and "follow" along with it.

Unfortunately, because of the impact made by the first asteroid years ago, one of the stones was partially exposed to the outside at the time, and once the asteroid smashed through the belt the gemstone, along with part of the asteroid itself, literally broke off from the rest of the rock and drifted away.

Within the next few weeks the asteroid reached Earth, and once it touched the atmosphere it streaked across the night sky like none ever seen before. In some ways, it looked as if part of the sky itself was on fire.

As it streaked, some more parts of the asteroid began to peel away and break off, namely from the side where the gems were embedded in. Ultimately the heat from crossing the atmosphere caused some more parts of the rock to peel off, exposing two gems to the outside air. Shortly after it passed the atmosphere and entered the sky the gems got loose and broke off from the asteroid, leaving only three gems remaining inside it, which fortunately were a little embedded toward the center slightly, so even as some of the asteroid's parts peeled off, the three gems weren't exposed to the outside and as a result didn't get loose and fall off.

Once the asteroid hit, it erupted with a force equal to that of 10,000 nuclear weapons many times over. Every living creature within 90 miles of the impact site were killed instantly and loads of dust, dirt, and soot started to kick up into the air. At first the dust remained within the 90-mile radius around the rock, but as time went by the dust began to grow and spread out across areas that weren't affected by the impact, and ultimately, the whole world.

Strangely enough, however, in the moment that the asteroid hit Earth, all six gems had somehow reacted to the impact and when the mushroom-cloud appeared in the sky, the energies inside the gems (the ones in the asteroid, the ones that had fallen someplace on earth, and even the one in space) had somehow activated and released energy waves that followed after the waves from the blast itself had been emitted. The waves from the five gems didn't travel far, for it seemed that once they had reached a dinosaur (dead or dying), the energy waves from the gems dissipated completely. However, the wave from the sixth one continued on, and surprisingly enough, the energy wave had reached Earth but it dissipated not too long after it touched the ocean.

When Earth was completely blanketed in dust and dirt, it was ultimately the beginning of the end for the dinosaurs, and as time passed, they all slowly began to die out until finally the last dinosaur took its last breath.

Though there was a nasty crater left behind by the asteroid when it hit, as time went by and continents shifted and new land was formed, as well as life beginning anew, the crater began to appear less and less until finally it was practically invisible.

The asteroid had indeed destroyed an entire world as well as many lives, but in return it also gave rise for a new race to come into being, evolve, and become the new dominant species of Earth: The human race.

As for the gems themselves, the three that were still in the asteroid would remain buried along with what was left of it until Paleontologists uncovered the rock millions of years later, and an up and coming Paleontologist by the name of Dr. Tommy Oliver would discover them and find himself drawn back to the power he thought he had left behind years ago and awaken three young teenagers to their destiny, as well as re-igniting his own when the fourth gem was discovered.

The fifth one unfortunately, would ultimately be found by a mutant dinosaur named Mesogog, who would then experiment on the gem itself for a time and place an encoding on it so it would be easier to harness its power. His alter-ego's adopted son however, unintentionally found it, and because of the dark encoding on the gem he transformed into a complete opposite of himself and almost destroyed his friends on more than a few occasions. Fortunately though, through a series of events he would eventually break free from the gem's control and join his friends and his teacher in the battle against Mesogog.

But as for the sixth one…it still continues to drift through space, with the gem still waiting for its rightful owner to take up its power.

However, judging by the slight change in Mars and Earth's orbit, as well as a few other minor things, that time may be nearing soon…
