POWER RANGERS: OMEGA
20 years ago, a being forged from science and magic emerged from seemingly out of nowhere. His power was inconceivable and unsurpassed by any that roamed the earth before him. During the first week of his arrival, the being, who proclaimed himself the "harbinger of a new age" destroyed the entire continent of Australia and ravaged the Asian continent. No authoritative body could halt his destruction. Finally, the Silver Guardians led by Wes and Eric arrived. Armed with the latest technologies as well as their morphers, the two former Time Force Rangers waged battle with the being. After a bitter battle, the two men were left broken and battered, the salty taste of their own blood filling their mouths. The being revealed himself to be Omega, the brainchild of Lord Zedd, Rita, and the Machine Empire. He had turned on his creators, seeing them as failures, for otherwise his existence would not have been necessary. After his rampage in Asia, Omega sought more of a challenge than the slaughter of helpless law enforcement agencies and wishful bounty hunters. More Rangers appeared, from Light Speed to Turbo, and all fell before his might. The Time Force Rangers were deterred from the action after Omega constructed a temporal barrier preventing any form of time travel.
Finally, five of the six original Rangers were assembled (Billy was still with Delphine on Aquitar). A bit rusty from years of inactivity, they endured five long years of training in order to hone their bodies and fight off this new seemingly unstoppable evil.
A long arduous battle ensued, pushing the rangers to an unprecedented level of fighting. In the end, after countless lacerations, broken bones, torn ligaments, and other assorted debilitating injuries, Omega was defeated and the slow reconstruction of the world began.
12 years of prosperity would pass before Omega reemerged, endowed with more power than his earlier incarnation. Once again, Jason, Zack, Tommy, Trini, and Kimberly donned their morphers and engaged in battle. Only this time, they were not successful. In the chaos, Zack died protecting Trini and Jason received a mortal wound in order to ensure Zack's sacrifice was not in vain. Tommy took the girls into hiding with him in order to strategize. A week after the battle, a young man sought out Tommy for training. The two trained diligently for the next year as did Tommy's 12 year-old son, Tommy Jr. With renewed vigor, the aging Tommy teamed up with the young fighters and battled on an off with Omega's forces, until 3 years ago, Tommy disappeared, leaving his son, Kimberly, and Trini in Maurice's care. Now, Maurice and Tommy battle Omega's forces alone. Thus is the story of the Power Rangers during the era of Omega.
