Disclaimer: Power Rangers is owned by either Saban or Disney. Cadets are owned by Ayame Ubi (AKA=Me), Quantum_Zero of Gaia online. We had a bit of a fall out with a few members of the guild the Power Ranger Academy Fanfic was based off. So I'll be doing both that one and this one a bit differently. So please take some time to read them both when I update them.

Chapter One: Horrors of the future

Rocky looked up at the man that had not only just killed almost everyone on the station, turned a cadet and a sub-commander against him and the others, but had also turned against him and the others. He had watched as the monster standing in front of him had killed those that Rocky loved, but had also watched his own wife be murdered by it.

"Looks like it's time for you to die Rocky." The monster said as he pulled out a sword from nowhere. "You'll be back with Kimberly soon." It added as it brought the sword up ready to stab the wounded ape.

"Don't get too comfortable." Rocky said weakly.

"Oh right. Someone will come along and somehow stop me right?" The monster told him. "Those that managed to get away will be killed sooner or later or will die of old age while I remain ageless. The only thing that you might have that can stop me is too weak even in numbers. I saw to that."

"You'll find out sooner or later." Rocky said.

"We'll see about that." The monster said as he brought down the sword. Only to be stopped by another weapon.

"I can't allow you to do that." A male voice called as he began to fight the monster.

Rocky pulled himself up and slowly moved to help the cadet that had saved him.

"Sub-Commander you have to leave. I'll hold him off." The cadet called out to him.

"What makes you think you can stop me?" The monster replied as he kicked the cadet. "If you haven't forgotten, I helped train you. I know what you can and can't do."

"I can sure try." The cadet replied.

"I've heard that a lot today." The monster replied as he moved forward. "I doubt you'll do any better than those before you."

Rocky nodded a bit as he leaped to the door leading out of the Training Dome. He had an idea provided if he could get to the Armory that is. He could still hear the two fighting as he made his way.

Rocky came to a stop just outside of the Cafeteria. He stared from the entrance before he went inside. Standing in the center of the room was a large Christmas tree and gifts seated around the base of the tree waiting to be opened. "Why did they attack so close to Christmas? This was supposed to be a happy time, not one of death!" He said. A sudden noise from behind had him turn around quickly falling sideways as he did so.

"Thought you could get away did you?" One of the monster's pawns asked as she stepped into the room. "The master will be pleased that I found you." She added moving closer to him.

"So you're just going to let him use you? Even when you saw what it would do to you?" Rocky asked.

"What's the point in fighting it anyway? I don't have anything to fight for on your side." She added.

"That's not true and you know it!" He told her.

"Shut up! I don't have time for your bullshit anymore." She said. "The master wanted to kill you himself. But I can't take listening to you anymore." She added.

"You can't just forget about something like that." Rocky said as he moved closer to her. "Please just listen to me." He added before a blast coming from the west of where he was standing had knocked him to the floor.

Two men walked into the room. "You don't listen very well do you Rocky?" One of them said as they came to a stop next to the female.

"What took you so long?" The female asked the male who walked up next to her.

"That's no way to speak to me!" He told her as he pulled his sword out again before looking down at Rocky. "Time to end this once and for all old friend," The man said as he moved to deliver the final blow.

Rocky looked up helplessly as the sword was brought down upon him.

Fade out.

Narrator: Had you scared there, didn't I? Well you'll most likely want to know what happened here. But I think it would be better for you to understand what led up to this point, and to do that we have to go back to the day the Academy first opened its doors. June 2, 2009.

Most would think that the Ranger Academy would be based close to Earth. But they would be so very wrong. Since Earth has no real way in destroying something as large as the station, it would be risky to place it in orbit.

So instead, the station was built above an un-inhabited planet. Soon, come to find out, we were wrong on that. But we'll come to that later. The station is 269.9 miles in diameter. Which is eight times smaller than the size of the Earth's moon give or take a bit. And, at full capacity, holds a total of 209,593,750 cadets, staff, and guests. So in total the station is twenty-two times as small as Earth. Which is about the same for the planet the station is orbiting. It is known as Mobliz, from what the U.W.W (Universal Wide Web) says anyway. But I'm getting off topic here. Let's start back at the beginning, back to that June day a year ago. When not just my life changed, but that of so many others!

Well I think I've taken enough of your time. Time to begin from the beginning of this little tale. Only then will you learn true friendships, loves, challenges, and horrors the new generation of Power Rangers will have to go through to pass their first year at the New Ranger Academy.
