A/N – I do not own Power Rangers, I believe Disney currently holds all rights to Power Rangers, and therefore, are the owners. But man, I wish I owned Power Rangers.
I hope you like this first chapter enough to read the second chapter…where it gets better. This fanfic is intended to be a little, if not quite dark, but not as dark as Battlestar Galactica or 24. Speaking of 24, I'm kind of modeling Andros after Jack Bauer. Just give me a chance.
The plan I have for this fanfic, is to take some of the most important elements of PRIS, story arc-wise, like Karone's kidnapping, Zhane waking up, and of course, Andros and Ashley hooking up. I hope you all enjoy the fic, so enjoy everyone.
Summary – AU - The Rangers must save the universe by rescuing Zordon, and defeating Dark Spector as well as his evil forces.
"Make way! Queen of evil coming through". Divatox said loudly as she pushed away all those in her way.
"Yeah! Make way for my Auntie D!" said Elgar as he followed Divatox into a large room.
The space pirates made their way into a large, dimly lit room, filled with the great evils of the universe. Some of those in attendance were Rita Repulsa and her husband, Lord Zed. It was also filled with everyone's minions: Piranatrons, silly putties, and a new group. Their faces resembled ants, and they were dressed in silver, while some had a bit of black added.
"So then, I just used this finger, pushed one little button, and then destroyed the Power Rangers!" Divatox bragged. "Elgar, go get me a drink."
"Yes Auntie D!" Elgar replied as he went off to get a drink. On his way, he bumped into someone in a cloak.
"Hey! Watch where you're going!" Elgar said to the cloaked person. Instead of saying anything, the cloaked person simply walked away.
"What nerve! Why I ought to…"
"Elgar! Where's that drink?!" Divatox shouted.
Before Elgar could respond, the large view screen that was opposite to the entrance doors, activated, displayed a monster made of, what seemed to be, lava and rocks.
Everyone in the room immediately turned their attention to the viewscreen.
"I, Dark Spector, have captured Zordon!" the best proclaimed. Everyone cheered.
"My successor has also recently taken the planet Eltar. Now there is no hope for the galaxy."
"Excuse me, Dark Spector." Divatox said as she tried to get his attention by spacing herself from everyone else. "But who might this successor be?"
"I shall reveal her now. Come forth Astronema, princess of evil." Dark Spector commanded. From the shadows, on the right of the view screen, a tall, slender woman stepped out. She wore a tight black outfit, had purple hair, and held a staff with a diamond shaped tip. She was escorted by a polygonic figure with green lines and red eyes.
"I am Astronema. And this is my personal guard, Ecliptor." She said proudly.
Divatox slowly walked up to Astronema. "What makes you good enough to be Dark Spector's successor?" She asked.
"I captured the planet Eltar, the Karovan system, and many other planets. What have you done?"
"Well, obviously you haven't heard. I defeated Power Rangers. I destroyed their command center, and with it, their power. And all I had to do was press a little button. I did what Rita and Zed couldn't, and I did it easily." Divatox boasted again.
"But you didn't kill them. And if you defeated the Power Rangers, then why is there a Power Ranger in this room right now?" Astronema asked.
"What are you talking about? There are no more power rangers!" Divatox replied angrily.
Astronema pointed her staff at the cloaked person and fired a bolt of lighting, but missed.
"Quantrons! Get him!" she commanded. Ecliptor walked over while the minions, as well as Elgar, Goldar, and Lord Zed moved in to attack. Elgar swung his sword at the cloaked person, but was blocked by a spiraled sword. From behind, Goldar pulled the cape off, which revealed a red Ranger.
The red ranger pulled out his blaster, pointed it at Astronema and fired, but she deflected the shot with her weapon. He saw another sword swing from his left and rolled out of the way. He kicked two Quantrons that charged towards him, and fired two more shots at Astronema, but both were deflected again. Then his sword and blaster were knocked out of his hands, and two quantrons grabbed his arms. From behind, Goldar kicked the ranger in the back of his knees, forcing him to kneel. It seemed as though the battle was won, and the ranger's fate had been sealed. Astronema walked over to the ranger, with a victorious smirk on her face.
"I didn't think the Red ranger would be so stupid to come here alone."
"I may be alone, but I didn't come unprepared."
BOOM! There was a explosion on the left side of the room, which exposed to the room to the outside environment, a dark, cold planet.
The ranger used that explosion as a distraction to free himself by quickly standing up and kicking the quantrons holding him away.
"Galaxy glider! Hang ten!" He shouted. He jumped over Astronema and ran towards the part of the room that had just exploded. A red hoverboard appeared, and the ranger jumped on, then flew away before anyone could shoot him down.
"Get him!" Astronema commanded. Then, there was another explosion. It was opposite of where the first explosion had been. Astronema was thrown off her feet from the force of the explosion.
"Are you alright my princess?" Ecliptor asked as he helped her get up. She had a very angry look on her face. "I'm going to kill him. Slowly and painfully."
A/N – I hope you liked it enough to stick around for a few more chapters, preferably the end of the fanfic. Bear with me; this is just the first chapter, and I haven't written a story in years. Like it or hate it, please review. I hope you read the next chapter.
