Disclaimer: I DO NOT own the Power Rangers, their allies, villains, etc. Jada and Reed Brand are the only characters in this story I do own. Heck, much of the dialogue, plot, and ideas aren't even mine. Most of this story is inspired by Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie and other fics, including Jason Barnett's "Zordon's Savior" (very good story, by the way, Jason). In other words, please don't sue me.
Author's Note: In my previous Power Rangers Story "The Destruction of Master Vile" I said that the other incarnations (Zeo, Turbo, etc.) were abominations. However, I will admit that some of these "abominations" had some interesting characters and ideas. This is one of the reasons I've included Justin in this story. This story has nothing to do with "TDMV." It is in its own separate canon.

Prologue
It was the year 2005. It was the last day of school at Angel Grove High. Sixteen-year-old Reed Brand was sitting impatiently at his desk waiting for the bell to ring. It was no secret that he hated school. But today, he wasn't sure which was worse: school or having to go to the Sahara Desert with his parents all summer. They were archeologists and were hoping to find ancient treasures and ruins. Finally, the bell rang. As he headed for the buses, Reed thought to himself, "Another miserable school year, another even more miserable summer. Sometimes I wish I could just get rid of my parents and rule with an iron fist."
Little did he realize how soon he'd get his wish.
