COUNTDOWN TO THE APOCAPLYSE
They never thought this day would come…
The day that the universe surrendered to evil…
The day that no planet was safe…
The day that the Power Rangers fell…..
This is that day…..
Day 1 of the alliance of evil occupation.
Angel Grove- Daytime
As the dark fortress lowered itself through the atmosphere the captured citizens stopped and looked in fear as the transportation beam activated on the roof of the city hall in front of them. Standing there on that roof one figure suddenly appeared.
"People of Earth! This is Astronema, your queen and new ruler. The rest of the universe has surrendered! No one is going come to save you, the power rangers aren't coming they have already tried and they have failed! The rangers are hiding amongst you and that is not acceptable. Hear this, rangers, you have until tomorrow morning to turn yourselves in or I will destroy the earth!"
With that the transportation beam activated again and she was gone….
Later that night the space rangers gathered to assess their plan of action
As they huddled together no one but Ashley noticed Andros slip away
"Going somewhere? Andros you can't leave" Ashley told him
"I'm just ummmm; I have to try to get through to my sister. To get her to stop this madness before it's too late." Andros replied "I will see you again Ashley I promise I won't fail, I will stop this and I will come right back to you"
"You better Andros, be safe and be smart" Ashley told him
Andros took a few steps back and yelled out "let's rocket!" After activating his morpher he flew off for the dark fortress.
Despite his promise he wouldn't be coming back….. He would be the first red ranger in history to fail at the eleventh hour and because of that the universe is now enslaved…..
Six months later…days gone by
Desert outside Angel grove
Three lone figures travel along towards their destination slowly and carefully to avoid Astronema's patrols.
"We're almost there guys, just a little bit further. When we get there we should check out the catacombs, I'm sure Zordon left us something in case of emergencies"
"How can you be so sure tommy? The command center was destroyed when we were in uniform."
"You have to have faith Jason" tommy replied
"No we have to have a vehicle that works. My feet are killing me" matt told them both
When the world fell Jason was in New York working as a FBI agent with his partner Matt, the streets were overruned with Quantrons.
When there was no choice left, Jason used what power was left in his tyrannosaurs morpher but it eventually gave out in the middle of battle.
The only reason he made it out of the city was because of his partner. Matt picked Jason up and got him out before the city was completely taken over.
After that once Jason regained consciousness, they made a plan to go find tommy and make a plan to take their planet back.
"Yeah yeah don't we all wish that matt, the noise when attract patrols quicker that way. That's the same reason I haven't used my zeonizer, the energy reading it puts out is off the charts. If the alliance of evil got ahold of it, that would be the end of us." Tommy turned to tell matt that
"Of course rainbow ranger, you're the leader" matt told him which made tommy roll his eyes
"Smart ass!... alright we are here guys! The entrance to the catacombs should be over here to the right. Let's be quick, eyes up, head on a swivel, we don't know if we are alone" tommy told them
They approached a wall that was marked with a lightning bolt and six small coin shaped holes around it.
"This must be it" tommy said as he reached in his pocket and pulled out something he hasn't used in years….his green ranger coin "this should open it"
He slid it in one of the holes in the wall and it started to glow green. Suddenly a voice asked them for the password
"Dragonzord! Green ranger power" tommy called out
"Password accepted! Welcome rangers and may the power protect you" the security system told them
The walls opened up and the three of them walked in, lights coming on after every step they took down the catacomb tunnels.
Parts and boxes were lined up along the walls covered in dust and cobwebs; they stopped when they came to a dead end. On the wall in front of them was a painting of the five original dinosaurs underneath that was an aged wooden box
"This has to be it" Jason said as he approached the box, throwing caution to the wind he opened the box and was blinded by a bright light which slowly diminished. Finally able to look in to the box they were shocked to see a sight that they haven't seen in a very long time…. Seven original power coins and Saba
"I told you two to have faith, even if he isn't with us Zordon would not let us down" tommy told them, he reached in and took Saba into his hands feeling the power flow through him once more, in his mind he heard the roar of the Tigerzord and the screech of the falcon.
"You were right tommy" Jason told him as he reached in and took his tyrannosaurs coin also feeling the power flow and the roar of his T-Rex
"Do you guys hear that?" matt asked them
"Hear what?" Jason replied
"It sounds like a dragon screech and some music tune playing. It sounds like DO DOO DOOOO DO DO DOOOOOOOO. Come on you guys have to hear it?" matt told them hoping they would say yes. He didn't want to think he was going crazy.
Jason and tommy looked at each other.
"The Dragonzord is calling out to him" he communicated to Jason through a shrug
"But that's your coin? Why would it call out to him" Jason replied back with a tilt of his head
"Destiny? Zordon's will? Maybe the coin choose him? If it calls to him like ours call to us then it is his right to wield it and awaken my old friend" tommy replied with a nod
Jason picked up the box and turned to matt "matt these coins are what gave us our powers when we were on duty, just like when tommy picked his coin up he heard the roar of his Tigerzord and when I picked mine up I heard the roar of my T-Rex. It seems you have been chosen to wield the green ranger power, what you heard was the roar of your Ninjeti spirit the dragon. Welcome to the original six"
Matt reached in and picked up the Dragonzord coin "so does that mean I get to breathe fire?" he asked
Tommy rolled his eyes, closed the box and said "Let's take the box back to base camp, the others are waiting"
They made it outside after resetting the security on the command center catacombs and were starting on their journey when explosions went off all around them knocking them on the ground.
"Hello rangers! It's been a long time. I knew you brats would show up here eventually, you should be more careful, you set off my perimeter alarm when you showed up here" a voice called out to them
They looked up and standing in front of them was Lord Zedd but in human form.
"Hello Zedd, looking different, finally decided to put some skin on huh?" tommy replied
"Why yes tommy, as matter of fact it was a gift for serving up Trini's head on a silver platter to Astronema. Just like how I'm about to serve your head up too" he replied with an evil laugh
"I don't think so Zedd! Ready guys?" tommy said
"Ready?!"
"It's Morphin Time!" tommy called out "Tigerzord White ranger Power!"
"Dragonzord! Green Ranger Power!" Matt called out
"Tyrannosaurus! Red Ranger Power" Jason called out
