Hello readers. This is my first fanfiction

ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! FIVE MINUTES REMAINING UNTIL CATASTROPHIC FAILURE!"

Bang! Bang!

"Damit, this door isn't going to hold for long." spat a dark black haired man in a red skin-tight suit with clenched teeth. The red suit covered in rips, cuts, and tears made it difficult to distinguish where the suit stopped and the blood began. The man was obviously a powerful warrior or soldier, which could be easily seen from how he held his powerful body and steadfast, haunted eyes. Eyes that scanned the large metal doors blocking him from the only exit, as well as an ungodly number of enemies who wanted nothing more than to finish ripping him apart.

A sigh escaped the man's lips as a thought passed his mind, 'So this is it then. Everything relies on these next few moments.' Suddenly a smirk crossed his face as he turned his head and yelled, "You think you want to hurry it the fuck up Oliver!"

The words echoed across the large room filled with all kinds of monitors and machines. The tattered remains of what looked to be a red humanoid robot with a golden disk-like head laid across the floor on one side. On the far wall opposite the large metal doors was a large empty tube that reached from the floor to the ceiling and was perhaps 3 or 4 meters in diameter. In the middle of the room was a large circular platform that looked to have been recently added as the machines around it were placed in odd angles making it difficult to access some of them.

In the center of the platform was a small girl, who couldn't be older the five, laying down with closed eyes. The child had no reaction to any noise around her and the only sign of life was the small rising and falling of her chest.

Not a foot from the girl lay two helmets. One was red with silver lips, in the slight shape of some prehistoric carnivorous dinosaur with black eyes and the shattered remains of what was left of its dark tinted visor. The other helmet was white with black and gold accents in a shape somehow managing to give one the impression of both a dragon and a tiger at the same time. The hybrid beasts eyes, as well as the visor, shared a dark green color.

Several feet from the child and helmets was another man tapping on a console attached to the platform. This man like the other also wore a skin-tight suit. This one, however, was white with golden wrist guards, shin guards and a shield armor that were all accented in green as well as a green belt and golden buckle. This man was also a warrior with a strong and tall physique, covered in fresh wounds from battle. Two large scars covered his handsome face, one going horizontally across at the bridge of his nose nearly meeting his ears on both sides, the second was perpendicular to the first reaching from his forehead to his chin and running over his left eye. Somehow the second scar did nothing to affect his sight as both eyes were open as he tapped away at the keyboard, revealing two dark green eyes that almost seemed to glow with untapped power.

As the words of his comrade reached the ears of the man in green his left scar covered eye began to twitch. "What the hell does it look like I'm doing. If you have a problem with my speed you can come over here and do it yourself, Scott", the man yelled back as he glared over his shoulder.

The man in red, 'Scott', blanched at the comment, looked to the right while scratching his cheek and stuttered out, "Uhh, I...I'm uh good here. Haha...gotta keep an eye on the door and all that."

"Hmph, that's what I thought",'Oliver' muttered. After which they fell into a short silence with the only sounds being the banging of the metal door and the alert sirens. Suddenly 'Oliver's' eyes widened in surprise and happiness as a smile formed on his lips. "Ha...haha…" 'Oliver' began to start laughing and yelled, " I did it, I actually did it!"

'Scott' turned toward 'Oliver' so fast that he was pretty sure he heard a crack. He ran over to 'Oliver's' location as fast as he could. Looking over his shoulder and reading the screen, although his knowledge in the subject in question was probably zero on his best day, he had spent enough time with 'Oliver' that green on the screen and no red meant that the project was completed. "Hahaha. I knew you had it in you man. Hahaha", tears began falling down 'Scott's' face. "With this, we can finally fix everything."

"Tch, we can finally make them pay for all they have done", 'Oliver' said through clenched teeth as his green eyes began to glow brighter as his anger built.

'Scott' looked over and placed his hand on 'Oliver's' shoulder, "Hey I know, just remember you have to keep your head on right. Don't let anger cloud your judgment brother." After those words, the green glow of 'Oliver's' eyes began to fade back to their previous color. "Well, what are you waiting for we don't have time. Hurry up and start it up already."

"Right." 'Oliver' then began typing again. After a few moments he stopped and the platform the two of them and the child were on began come alive with noise. "There she goes. 30 more seconds and we will be one step closer to saving the universe."

Not one second after the words left his lips did a large bang sound from the location of the large metal doors. Upon turning around the two warriors eyes widened at the sight before them.

The doors were now strewn across the floor crushing several machines in the process. In the place where the doors once stood was a hulking, hooded shadow figure. Demonic energy was coming off the creature in waves. A cruel and bloody smile formed on the shadowy figure in the place that they could only guess was where its face was located. "Hello, Rangers. It has been so long since we have last seen each other," the creature stated in an evil grating voice filled with glee, that seemed to engrave itself into the souls of the two men before it. "Kill them."

Upon hearing to simply order the two men watched as hordes of beasts began to make there way around the shadowy figure and into the room, nearly climbing over each other to be the first to reach the humans on the other side of the large room.

'Shit, Umbra Malum. Why would he come himself', 'Oliver' thought as he looked down to the small girl, 'even if I die here I promise you will make it out alive and hopefully you can succeed where I and all the others have failed.' 'Oliver' then looked back at the approaching creatures and spoke to his ally, "We can't let them reach the machine. No matter what hap...Ah!" 'Oliver' suddenly got cut off by a pat on the back that caused his body to freeze and all his power begin to leave him. The white suit on his body as well as the white helmet a few feet from him turned into light that was absorbed by his belt buckle before falling to the floor.

The man now stood there with a look of shock and confusion on his face. Without his white suit, he now wore what looked to be some sort of green military style outfit that was so dark, some might call it black. The outfit consisted of cargo pants, boots, leather shin guards and skintight long sleeve shirt covered with a leather breastplate and wrist guards. The left wrist guard on closer inspection seemed to have some kind of metal device attached to it.

Looking to his side where the man who was like his brother stood he questioned, "Wha...Why?"

The man in red slightly chuckled with a bitter smile across his face, "Someone has to watch Kira, I might just go crazy if it was me. Besides she is your responsibility not mine, right?"

As 'Scott' began to make his way off the platform and towards the legion of monsters grabbing his broken helmet on the way 'Oliver' asked, "how...how did you know this would happen?"

"I didn't...but this was always part of the plan brother."

'Oliver's' eyes widened again.

"We can't risk your machine falling into Umbra Malum's hands no matter what. I always planned to stay behind and destroy it after the two of you left." 'Scott' half turned around to look 'Oliver' in the face. "It's up to you now. Take good care of Kira, yeah."

"Ah", tears began to fall down 'Oliver's' face.

'Scott' turned back around to face the horde as he placed his helmet back on his head and a sword appeared in his hand. As he ran forward to meet the approaching horde he yelled back, "Oh yeah, I almost forgot. May The Power Protect You, Always."

"JASON!"
