Disclaimer: I don't own Power Rangers. Unfortunately, Disney and Saban have that honour. I do, however, own the rights to IRMA who is the only character I've introduced to the story so far. I'd ask that if you want to use her in a novel of your own that you ask my permission first.

Note, see my Author News Blog for information about the upcoming chapters for this novel and for my other novel Before Redemption.

Worlds, Times and Distances Apart

A Power Rangers Fanfiction

Distances

Prologue: The Beginning of the End

There will always be evil. No matter how hard we try, there will always be someone who wants to destroy the world or who wants to rule supreme above everyone else. But, no matter how tough those who are evil get, there will always be warriors of good to defend the world from their evil ways. These people, usually teenagers, are known as the Power Rangers. There have been many Power Rangers who have battled many evils over the years as they attempted to destroy the world or rule it for themselves. From Rita Repulsa to Dai Shi, from Lord Zedd, his son Thrax and brother-in-law Rito, to Venjix. They keep popping up again and again and, after a long struggle, the Power Rangers lead to their downfall before they can actually achieve their ultimate evil goals.

What happens, though, when evil does win? What happens when all of the Power Rangers are scattered throughout time and space? What happens when all of them are needed to fight the greatest evil ever known to mankind together whilst they are all so far apart? How are the Power Rangers meant to defend Earth then?

That is the nightmare that I am now facing. The greatest enemies of the Power Rangers have been restored to life during a freak accident and, now, the threat of them banding together is very real. However, this freak accident has not been a total disaster.

It has also had one benefit. I, Zordon of Eltar, was resurrected and returned to my true form by this accident. Without hesitation, I quickly returned to Earth but, fortunately, I did not return as they had known me to be otherwise we might have had somewhat of a problem.

Tommy Oliver, the greatest Power Ranger to ever live, and I have been reunited. Now, we quest together to find the Power Rangers who, due to the tragedy of the Venjix virus, have been separated to all corners of the world. Then, we plan to bring them all together to form a defence against evil before the final battle comes.

Our task has one major obstacle facing it. The many evils who have returned, with the exceptions of Venjix, who has remained dead to our great relief, and Rita, who became the good Mystic Mother, will be looking for any excuse to destroy us. They know that Earth will fall under their control if a strong enough defence is not in place soon to stop them from achieving their goal of world domination.

We do not know if all of the Power Rangers have survived or not because of the fact that Tommy has been in hiding for the past two years so he has been considerably out of touch. All we do know is that Corinth City is the place where we have to start our search for them. The RPM Power Rangers, thankfully, are still there on active service. On top of them, we also hope that some of the other Power Rangers did manage to find refuge there too.

From our present location, Corinth is many miles away. Our quest may become extremely dangerous but we are fortunate that we have my powers as a sage and Tommy's restored Ranger powers to protect us. The Universal Morphing Grid and I have restored all but his temporary Turbo Powers so that he can once again fight evil in the name of all things Good.

With that amount of power at his command, Tommy and I know that he has become extremely dangerous. However, I believe that he will put the Powers to good use because I trust him not to misuse them. After all, he is the greatest Ranger to have ever lived and I do not think that he would have earned that reputation without deserving it because of all the good deeds he has done.

Anyway, the story to my resurrection begins with the freak accident that has had so many far reaching consequences. A freak irreversible accident which has also caused the unthinkable to happen.

Most of the great evils have returned much stronger than they ever were before.

Our quest could all end in tragedy. Whether we are successful or not all depends upon the man who has become known as the greatest Power Ranger to ever live and, although Tommy Oliver knows it not, he and I are very similar in many different ways. Both of us have great powers but Tommy is yet to discover his. When he does finally find out, all he knows, if it has not already, will change forever. I believe, though, that he will be able to defeat Evil in the end.

After all, the fate of the entire universe currently hangs in the balance and, if we fail, the universe may end up being plunged into everlasting darkness...
