Nothing stirred in the dead of the night as darkness absorbed everything until the world was under a blanket of pitch black. Not even in the trees in the forests of Briarwood did anything stir, nothing except for him...
He walked through the forest, his staff in hand. As he approached the spot he had been searching for, he lowered the staff and uttered a few words, causing tendrils of thunder to shoot from its tip and spark movement in the seemingly lifeless area. Once the clouds of smoke cleared, stood there was a mummified warrior who seemed rather disorientated by his revival.
'Where am I?' he stammered
'You are on Earth and the year is 2026,' replied the warrior who had revived him. 'I am Chronos, Demon of Time, and I have revived you Imperious to aid me in my plans'
'Plans? What plans?' the one known as Imperious questioned
'My plans to destroy the Power Rangers' Chronos replied, his evil laughter chilling the forest
Space Patrol Delta: Earth Base 2026
It had been a year since Grumm's defeat and S.P.D. had had very little to deal with of late. Both Cadets Bridge Carson and Z Delgado were out on duty patrolling Newtech City, leaving just Sky Tate and Sydney Drew present at the headquarters; both were looking over files in the main control room
'Sky do we have to do this?' Syd moaned as she placed yet another criminal file on a pile; her pile of checked over reports was at least a quarter of the size of the one she still had to do
'It's our duty Syd,' Sky replied drily. 'It's better than Grumm still being at large and the world being under threat'
'Part of me wishes we could still fight, at least then we'd have something interesting to do' she retorted, but Sky only glared at her before continuing to check the stack of reports at his desk. Silence filled the space between them for what seemed like forever, yet it couldn't have been more than a few minutes because between them they had only managed to check over two more files before the silence was broken by the sounding of alarms throughout the corridors of the S.P.D. Base.
'What is it?' Syd asked sheepishly, not sure whether she should talk to Sky after the look he'd given her
'Someone's infiltrated the base,' he replied, concentrating on the screen 'we should check it out; we're the only rangers here and we're closest to the incident'
'Anything to get away from these files' Syd seemed more awake and alert now at the thought of dealing with criminals rather than just their files. The pair raced through the door and headed of towards the area of the disturbance; the Containment Card Storage Facility
When they arrived they found someone, or something, they didn't recognise; a mummy-like warrior, with a few containment cards already in his hands.
'Step away and put the cards down!' Sky ordered, his blaster raised and with Syd mimicking his pose behind him. Unfortunately, the intruder didn't want to play by their rules...
'I'm afraid I can't rangers,' he replied, waving his fan that was in his right hand 'for you see I, Imperious, have been hired to free these prisoners...but I fear I have already said too much; ciao rangers, we shall meet again soon'
Sky and Syd both fired their lasers but the beams struck the monitors behind where Imperious had stood, causing sparks to fly from the consoles; he had teleported and fled before the pair of rangers could get near him
'Damn!' Sky shouted, frustrated at his own failures
'We'll track this guy Sky, don't worry about it' Syd tried to calm him down
'He said he was hired...we need to look up all criminals we have on record that are still out there,' Sky told Syd before pulling out his Morpher and bringing it towards his face 'Bridge I need you to keep your eyes out for someone on your patrol; he goes by the name of Imperious and resembles a mummy. He infiltrated the base and managed to get away with some containment cards so you're in charge of trying to capture him before he gets further away'.

check over two more files before the silence was
'Copy that Sky, a mummy?' If you're sure, we'll keep a look out and report back with further information, over' Bridge replied
'Oh and Bridge, he may not be working alone'
Somewhere in Newtech City
'Have you got the prisoners?' Chronos asked as Imperious entered the alley
'A few...I was interrupted' Imperious told him
'Let's hope they're enough' Chronos grumbled, before motioning with his staff over a point at the head of the alley. A sound of strong wind and thunder filled the air as a time portal cracked open in the area Chronos had indicated; and it was into this portal that Imperious and Chronos stepped...
