Prolog the beacon of evil
The streets of Angle Grove were in chaos with dozens of cars and people fleeing as a large formation of humanoid creatures rampaged through.
The creatures wore brown armor with a chest and shoulder plate. Their heads were also armored and resembled piranhas. Their right forearms had blades on the end that were made of yellow light.
A line of police officers formed behind three cars firing at three figures that lead the alien soldiers.
One was an alien creature wearing red armor with yellow shoulder areas and a long pointy head with golden earnings.
The other figure on the right had a large set of blue armor with a pointed spike at the top, a grey face with red eyes and jagged teeth.
The figure in the center was a woman wearing red and yellow armor. She resembled a human but had a few alien features across her skin including scale like areas on her arms, legs and neck.
"Where is it, where is that beautiful crystal?"
"It's this way captain according to the scanner." The blue armored alien said before a series of bullets raked across them to no effect as the woman held her arms up over her body.
"These insects dare attack me."
"I'll make them suffer captain." The one in red said as he revealed a series of cards in his hand before swiping them into the police cars before they exploded, the police getting hurled back as two of their cars exploded.
The blue armored alien's eyes glowed as he unleashed a blast of red energy into the third police car, completely destroying it.
As the police scattered the foot soldiers rushed in , yellow energy firing from their saber arms.
Several of the police were hit before five colored figures rushed into the fray before the foot soldiers could reach the police.
The police saw the figures covered in armor. One in red and grey with a blue glowing prism in the center of his chest. The next had the same only his armor was black, the next blue, the next yellow, and the last pink.
Several people were nearby on the streets capturing the five on their phones as a tv crew tried to set up.
"It's the power rangers." One of the police shouted before the red one came up to the sergeant.
"Tell your men to get back." His helmet disguising his voice.
The officer nodded before he and his men moved back.
The yellow ranger ran in first her armor's gauntlets projecting energy in the shape of daggers, this allowed her to knock away the blade arm of one foot soldier before kicking another's head back with a kick, then slash the first one apart..
The blue ranger leapt over her, his forearm armor projecting tri lances before he slashed two apart and smashed his foot so hard into a third one so hard it actually shattered with green blood and brain matter splashing onto his visor.
"Ohh, oh, ok that's just nasty." He said trying to get it off him.
"Billy the fight!" The black ranger shouted as he ran past him, his right forearm and hand forming blue energy in the shape of an axe before he hacked a foot soldier in half and then used it as a shield against another foot soldier's energy blade before kicking it back and slashing the alien apart.
The pink ranger's forearm emitted a bow shaped energy field, allowing her to draw energy arrows before unleashing them through two of the foot soldiers , killing them. Another two ran at her firing, the pink ranger dodging the attacks before smashing her bow into one's head and kicking through the other's chest.
The red ranger's forearm formed a blue energy sword and he moved fast, slashing two apart with two fast strikes before leaping up and delivered two spinning kicks into another two of the aliens before coming down and stabbing a fifth.
The three main figures approached a large crater around the ruins of a building with a broken Kryspy Kreme sigh next to it and police tape all around it.
They saw glowing coming from the crater and the scanner on the blue one's arm went crazy.
"This is it, the Zeo crystal is in the crater."
"Yes! Bring the ship down!"
However, the five ranger ran at the three after dealing with the last of the foot soldiers.
"They're going for the crystal!" Billy shouted.
" Keep them away from the crater!" The red ranger shouted as he leapt forward again and spun before the woman turned just in time to have his foot smash into her face.
The alien woman stumbled backwards before her two men rushed in front of her.
"Those can't be, the Power Rangers, they were destroyed millions of years ago. Elgar , Rygog get them!"
The taller pointed alien hurled several of the playing cards at the pink and yellow rangers. The cards exploded around them , forcing the two back before the pink ranger formed her bow again and fired into the alien who yelped as he was hit a few times. He then seemed angry as he took out more cards and formed them into a blade.
Elgar leapt forward and knocked the pink ranger's bow away before slashing across her armor and kicking her back. Before he could attack again, the yellow ranger rushed forward with her daggers and caught Elgar's blade before moving fast and blocked each his next strikes.
Eventually she caught the blade and held him in place, Elgar struggling to get free before the pink ranger leapt back up over her and kicked Elgar back before unleashing another energy arrow into him, the arrow knocked his sword away and allowed the the yellow ranger to rush forward and slash him several times with her daggers before also kicking him back.
Rygog unleashed a blast from his eyes at the blue and black ranger.
They were knocked back by the blast as Rygog came closer and blasted them back again.
Rygog was about to blast again when Billy collected the power in his armor before it came out in a blue burst that forced Rygog back.
As he did, the black ranger rushed forward as Rygog drew his sword. The black ranger smashed his axe into the ground as a trail of black energy moved through the ground and hit Rygog's chest and forced him back.
As this happened, the blue ranger leapt over the black ranger and caught Rygog's blade with his energy lances before he tried to pull the sword away. Rygog held it strong but Zack leapt into him and smashed his foot into Rygog's face, forcing him back before his axe came down Rygog's face.
He stumbled backwards as the blue ranger front flipped forward and used his lances to catch Rygog's sword before snatching it away.
Zack hacked Rygog across the chest again before slamming his right foot into Rygog's face.
The captain unleashed a blast of red energy from her hands at the red ranger who sliced it in half with his sword.
The captain drew a sword of gold before clashing it against the red ranger's energy sword, catching it. She exchanged a few strikes with the red ranger before forcing his sword away and backhanding him. The red ranger ducked under her next strike and came around with his sword, knocking her's back before leaping up and kicked her three times.
As the woman moved back she opened her mouth and unleashed a powerful scream into the red ranger.
As he was hurled back, the woman ran forward, the red ranger coming forward with his sword only for the woman to block it in a defensive manner.
The red ranger's sword retracted as he formed red energy in his hand in the shape of a football.
"And quarterback Jason Scott pitches to the wide receiver." He said before hurling the energy into the woman , the football bursting as she was hurled back.
"Touchdown!"
As the woman tried to recover, the red ranger got down with one hand on the ground before he charged forward , tackling the woman back as she dropped her sword onto the ground.
The captain's two lieutenants were knocked back beside her as the five rangers formed up.
Moments later they saw something appear above them.
The captain looked estatic as she saw her vessel decloak before her. The ship was very large and shaped like a fish made of bronze.
A yellow light came down and lifted the three inside the ship. Several of the foot soldiers sat at control consoles as the captain came forward.
"Activate robo mode." She said as the ship began to transform itself into a sentient fish with arms , legs, and a torso.
"Alpha we have a serious problem." The red ranger said.
"I copy, the the zords are on their way." The ground shook as five very large dinosaur shaped robots charged forward. One a red t-rex, one a black mammoth, one a blue triceratops, one a yellow sabertooth tiger, and a pink pterodactyl.
Each stopped by their respective ranger and let them in before they synched up with their zords.
"Ok let's go right into he megazord before they can take the Zeo crystal." The red ranger said as the five zords came together. The triceratops and sabertooth tiger zords formed into legs that the T-rex stepped into, the mammoth coming around the back of the t-rex and formed black arms with yellow shoulders that came out. The pterodactyl came around the chest with a teeth shaped silver area in the center. The T-rex's head lowered as a smaller head appeared in its place, two red horns on the side of its head with a third yellow one on the top of its head, yellow eyes, and a silver mouth area.
The five rangers were in a combined cockpit with the megazord fully formed.
They saw the fish shaped ship in its robot form reach into the crater.
"Go!" The red ranger shouted as the megazord charged forward and slammed its right fist into the robot, making it stumble backwards before the woman and her crew saw the megazord in front of the crater protecting it.
"Alright the same with Goldar, keep them away from the crystal."
"This ship set us back over half our wealth, let's prove our investment." The captain said before her robot charged forward and tried to punch the megazord.
"I got this." The black ranger said as the megazord grabbed the left arm of the robot and used its own momentum to force it forward while also smashing the megazord's right leg in front of the robot's legs.
After doing so, the robot stumbled and crashed onto the ground.
The robot got up as the captain looked enraged.
"Destroy that thing!"
The robot charged forward again the megazord wound up its right arm into a powerful uppercut that smashed into the head of the robot as it stumbled back.
"Fire all weapons!"
The robot revealed guns on its arms before firing them at the megazord.
"Get us in closer." The red ranger said.
"I got this." The blue ranger said as the megazord charged forward through the blasts despite being hit.
"Our turn bitch." The pink ranger said as the megazord raised its arms and unleashed a blast of colorful energy from its horns into the robots as it exploded across its body, the robot falling onto the ground.
"We've got an opening go for it Jason." The yellow ranger said.
The megazord held out its right arm as a large blue energy sword in the shape of Jason's sword only more triangular at the end near the hand formed.
The megazord charged forward before slashing through the waist of the robot as it surged.
"Captain we've sustained extensive damage."
"Get us out of here!" She shouted as the robot turned back into a ship and flew into the atmosphere before stopping in orbit.
The sword retracted as many people came out to look at the megazord.
"Woohhh! We did it." The blue ranger shouted sounding very excited.
The black ranger saw the people below them.
"Ahh more of our adoring fans. Let's go meet them." He said.
"Right." The red ranger said sarcastically as the megazord turned and marched away.
Inside the bridge of the ranger's ship, their armor retracted with a small robot in front of them and a face on the wall.
"Another souvenir to add to the collection." Trini said as she put the golden sword on the a rack with a few other items including a general's pointer and what was left of a the top of a golden staff.
"Who were those people?" Kimberly asked.
"Hold on searching through the databanks of galactic data, and got her. Divatox, she's a pirate , travels to worlds with life on them, sacks cites for valuables." the robot said.
"She's just a pirate?" Zack asked.
"Yes we've dealt with people like her before." Zordon said.
"You guys disabled her ship with the megazord, she'll probably stay in orbit to make repairs and may try to get the Zeo crystal again." Alpha said.
"We'll be ready for her if she does." Jason said.
"Are we done here?" Trini asked.
"Before you go, how are things uh, going . You know, in your lives?" Zordon asked sounding a little unsure of himself.
"Uhhh fine." Trini said sounding a little confused.
"Zordon we didn't know you cared so much." Jason said.
"In my day, being a ranger was our entire lives. You on the other hand are still so young, you have your entire lives ahead of you."
"Well if you do want to know, homecoming is coming up and I kind of wanted to maybe ask Cindy Wattson , but I'm uh kind of nervous." Billy said.
"Really, after rita, Havoc, and now this Divatox and you're afraid of asking a girl to homecoming." Kimberly said.
"Well yeah, it's Cindy Wattson."
"You'll be fine Billy. We better get going if we're going to make it to detention." Jason said.
"Alright we'll let you know if we have any developments." Alpha said before the five rangers went off out of the ship.
Alpha turned back to the data center of the ship.
"Have you had any luck , finding the green power coin?"
"No sir, I can detect its energy is still on earth but I can't pinpoint an exact location."
"Well keep trying, we need to find it before someone else does."
Inside Angle Grove high the five sat inside the detention class room, Billy setting up his pencils in a certain order.
"How much you want to bet he comes in, says we'll be covering lesson whatever and then get's on his phone?" Kimberly asked.
"No no, it's his Divergent novel day." Zack said.
"I'll take that bet." Jason said as the five looked at each other.
"I say book." Zack said.
"I'm with Zack." Trini said.
"Me too." Billy said.
"I'm with Kim, winners don't have to pay for their breakfast for a month." Jason said.
"You're on." Zach said.
Moments later their teacher came in , him being a bit overweight with big bushy hair and a wore a large sweater.
"Ok roll call. Jason Scott."
"Here."
"Billy Cranston."
"Here Mr. Tanson."
"Just say here Billy we've been over this. Trini Kwan."
"Here."
"Zack Taylor."
"Here."
"Kimberly Hart."
"Here."
"Farkas Bulkmeier."
"Here."
"Eugene Skullovitch."
"Here."
"Tommy Oliver, Tommy Oliver. Really is that little bastard-"
"Here." They heard.
They saw a young man who looked about 18 with an average sized body. He had short greasy black hair and brown eyes. He wore a worn green and white jacket and some dirty jeans.
"You decided to show up late again."
Tommy didn't respond, he just sat down.
Their teacher did the rest of roll call before setting the clipboard down.
"Ok so today we'll be covering lesson, whatever." Tanson said before he got on his phone.
"Aww come on." Zack said as Jason and Kimberly smiled before fist bumping each other as Trini shook her head.
"You better not order anything expensive." Trini said.
As they waited Jason looked at Tommy again, noticing a mark on the side of his face, it looked a bit like a bruise.
Two other of their classmates were sitting near Tommy when one of them the skinnier one put his hand on Tommy's desk.
"Hey Oliver you have our money?"
He didn't respond.
The fat one put his hand on his desk.
"He asked you a question."
Tommy glared at the two before Jason came over.
"Hey Bulk, Skull. Why don't you just sit down and enjoy Mr. Tanson being an idiot. Isn't that right Mr. Tanson." Jason said louder.
"Huh, oh yeah listen to Mr. Scott."
Jason turned back to the three as the fat one got up.
"Why don't you mind your own business Scott." He said before trying to push Jason , only to have Jason grab his arm and lock him into a bar , Bulk grunting before Jason let him go.
Billy saw this and smiled, Billy was sitting close to Tommy and reached over.
"That's what he did when we first met, now we're best friends. Hi, I'm Billy Cranston."
Tommy shook his head.
After class the five rangers were leaving school together.
"Zordon wants us to head back to the pit for some more training." Billy said.
"Again I feel like nothing has changed since when Rita first came." Zach said.
"I don't mind, it's getting better." Billy said.
"We better go or Zordon will give us another lecture about the fight escalating, and blah blah blah." Trini said.
"Let's just go." Kimberly said before Jason saw Tommy.
"I'll meet you guys there."
Kim saw Jason approach Tommy at his locker.
"Hey." He said, Tommy turning to him.
"Tommy was it?"
"Yeah."
"I'm Jason."
"I know who you are, our quarterback who got screwed over our great police force."
"Well I did sort of bring a bull into the school."
"They ruined your life."
"I screwed up. Look are you ok?"
"Why?"
"You look like someone hit your head."
"My dad use to teach me Mixed Martial arts, I practice sometimes over at Ernie's juice bar with other people."
"Oh yeah I think I've seen you there before. You're the guy who hogs the punching bag."
"Look I appreciate your concern man, but I have to go." Tommy said as Jason noticed Tommy take a small wad of money out of his locker before he left.
Jason watched Tommy with concern as he left before he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Hey, what are you doing with Oliver?"
"Just checking up on him, I don't know , he seems troubled."
"I think everyone in our class is a little troubled. Come on , let's not keep Zordon waiting." Kimberly said grabbing his arm.
Tommy went behind the school where he saw Bulk and Skull both smoking cigarettes.
"Five o'clock vodka always." Skull said.
"What are you russian, no my man ,captain morgan is where it's at" Bulk said before they saw Tommy approach.
"Well if it isn't our best customer, sorry about earlier , we were just messing around with ya."
"Shut up, do you have it?"
Skull reached into his backpack before he took out a prescription pill case.
"Fentanyl as always." Tommy took out the money and handed it to Bulk who smiled, taking out his cigarette.
"Pleasure doing business with you Oliver." Skull handed the bottle to Tommy before he left.
Later that night, Tommy entered a run down trailer house in a run down neighborhood. He entered before seeing a middle aged man wearing a stained t shirt with a beer gut hanging out as he drank a Miller lite watching the tv.
He had greasy messed up long black hair with a scraggily unshaved face.
Tommy walked into a bedroom where he saw a woman with black hair and brown eyes like him.
She had a cast around her right leg before Tommy sat beside her.
"Tommy."
"Shhh. I got you some more pain killers mom."
"Tommy you shouldn't have."
"Gil took all of yours again. You need them mom." Tommy said as he took one out and gave her some water. She drank the water and the painkiller.
"How are things going at school?"
"You know, our teacher doesn't give a shit about us and stuff."
She laughed.
"Well he has a shit job, why should he give a shit." The two laughed a little together.
"I think I'd rather slit my throat than do what he does."
"Don't say that, there's a lot of value in being public school teacher like him. In fact I probably wouldn't be where I am now without my time in America's fine public education."
The two laughed together again before the painkillers started to take effect.
"Ahhh."
Tommy put his hand on his mother.
"Try to get some sleep." Tommy took a deep breath as he got up and left the room.
Tommy went into his own room. The wood on the floor was rotted, the wallpaper peeling off, the window cracked. He had a small closet with a broken rack and a very scratched door.
On the ground was a worn futon that Tommy propped up against the wall and curled up into a rolled shape before he took off his jacket and put on some bandages around his wrists.
Tommy cracked his neck before he began hitting the futon several times, using his fists and elbows, then some kicks. This went on for over a half an hour before he stopped, covered in sweat all over his body.
"Hey!" he heard, turning to see the man from earlier holding a beer bottle in his hand.
"What's with all the fucking noise?"
Tommy didn't respond.
The man came over and grabbed his mouth.
"Don't turn your back on me when I'm talking to you." He tossed Tommy into the wall.
"Still doing your little karate bullshit."
Tommy looked angry.
"You're making too much noise, I'm watching tv."
"Mixed martial arts."
"What?"
"That's what I was doing."
"Ohh doing what daddy showed you. Where is daddy now?" He said in a mocking tone.
Tommy tightened his grip.
"Ohh are you going to hit me, go on." He said holding up his bottle.
"Go ahead , do it."
Tommy stayed where he was before Gil knocked him down again.
"Keep it down in here." Gil said before walking out. As he did, Tommy stuck one of his fingers in the air before curling up against the wall, he began to cry and breath deeper.
