Power Rangers Underdog Squad
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POWER RANGERS, PERIOD.
Prologue: How Everything Happened in the Past
It is business as usual at the WC Lab Corp in Eagleview. The employees are in their lab stations doing research or experiments on various things. The employees are suppose to present what they have been researching to the CEO and the board members every two years. However not every employee does present it to the CEO and the board members.
In a lonely lab station, the walls are covered with photographs are various mythical creatures and maps. On the desk, there is a powerful microscope, blue prints, and other science equipment. The chubby scientist has been studying these gemstones for 20 years. The man mostly keep to himself. He is usually the first one to get to the firm and the last one to leave at night. He rarely socializes with the other employees at the firm. Most of them even questions why he is still working there still.
The man is putting together the finishing touches for his presentation. "Finally after 20 years of researching the gemstones and designing this weapon that will protect the world from anything evil, I, Harold Simmons will get the recognition that I deserve". The man said to himself as he gathers the blue prints and the gemstones. He leaves his lab station and heads up to the conference room.
In the conference room, the CEO, board members, and other administrative staff is in the room. The CEO is smart and beautiful Josephine Alcorn. She is currently 5 months pregnant with her first child. She has not told anyone if she is expecting a boy or a girl yet.
Harold Simmons walks in the room as the people look at him. He looks very intensely at Josephine Alcorn. "Where is Franklin Alcorn? I though he would be here instead of you, young lady". Harold said to Josephine in a cold manner.
Josephine looks at Harold as she is not impressed by the man. "My father made the announcement four months ago of his retirement and me taking over of the company. You should have been more engaging of the company. You have spent 20 years working for this company. I would like to know what you have been intensely researching in that lab of yours that you have always locked even when Ken and I were kids". Josephine said to Harold as she is less than impressed of his attitude.
Harold looks at Josephine as he presents the gemstones and his power point presentation. Ladies and gentlemen of WC Lab Corp, for the past 20 years, I, Harold Simmons have researched and studied intensely on these eight precious gemstones. When people buy various stones at a jewelry store, they look at the cut, the clarity, and the carte to determine the price and quality. As I started studying them, I have come to learn that they are not what it appears to be". Harold said to them.
As Harold goes on explaining about his research, Josephine notices something about the red ruby. For a brief second, she saw the red ruby glow to her and no one else. She quickly dismisses the thought right away. 'Did that ruby glowed to me? No I must have been seeing things'. Josephine thought to herself.
As the presentation got to the good part, Harold shows them the blue prints of a weapon that he wants to build. "Each gemstone has it place to give it power. Once the weapon is operational, it will destroy incoming asteroids and any fiendish villains that want to take over the world. A special veil of protection will cover our planet that will repair the ozone layer in due time. That concludes the presentation. I will take questions". Harold said to them.
It is not long that the board members and the administrative staff are laughing at him as this whole thing of this weapon is a bad idea. "You spent 20 years studying these gemstones that allegedly contains the embodied spirits of mythical creatures. You are telling us that you want to power up this weapon of yours with these gemstones. That is a waste of resources, time, and money". A board member said to Harold. Some of the other board members and administrative staff nod in agreement.
Harold frowns as he is getting very angry. "Josephine, you must love this idea. It is the right step for the future. Think about your child when he or she is a teenager". Harold said to Josephine.
Josephine looks at them as she is in deep thought about it. All the sudden, Josephine feels something very strange like she is getting some sort of message. 'The power of the Underdog Gemstones can not be used in his hands'. A voice of a dragon said to Josephine. Plus the ruby gemstone is glowing again. However this time, only Josephine and Harold saw it as her pregnant belly was also glowing.
As the glow disappears, Harold is stunned as he never seen a gemstone glowing like that before. Josephine looks at him. "I will not go along with your plans to build this weapon or use the gemstones to power it. This is not what the world needs". Josephine said to Harold.
Harold is stunned yet again as he is also getting angry. "What you must be out of your mind, Josephine? Plus I saw your pregnant belly glowing a bright red color. The ruby gemstone has never glowed like that either until today". Harold said to Josephine.
The other people in the room look at each other as they did not see anything glowing. "You must have been imagining of the whole glowing". Another board member said to Harold.
It is not long that Harold is getting mocked by the whole thing. Josephine looks at them as the security team comes in the office. "Harold Simmons, you are fired. You have wasted 20 years working at this firm on these gemstones. Plus you are suppose to give a presentation every two years about your research, but you have missed 10 of those presentation days. I want you to turn over your ID card and lab key". Josephine said to Harold.
Harold looks very shocked by it. "I have worked here for 20 years. This weapon will protect the world. I saw your pregnant belly glow, Josephine. I will discover why it happened once you hand over that brat to me once he or she is born". Harold said to Josephine.
Josephine is getting really scared as her right hand man sees this. "Security get him out of here and escort him to his car now". The man said to the security.
The security team went to Harold as he is being fired and kicked out of the firm. "I will have my revenge, Josephine. You should have listened to my plans to help the world". Harold said to Josephine as he is escorted out from the building.
The board members and administrative staff quickly left the board room. Josephine has her assistant to clear out the lab room Harold worked in.
About an hour later, Josephine is back in her office looking over the research Harold had in the presentation and the gemstones. Ken walks in the room carrying the last box of the research on the stones.
Ken is the head of the security team at WC Lab Corp, and he is the father of the Josephine's baby. Ken and Josephine has a very close relationship. "This is the last of it Josephine". Ken said to Josephine.
Josephine nods to Ken as she is getting scared. "Thanks Ken, do you think our baby will be safe in Eagleview"? Josephine said to Ken.
Ken is slightly taken back by the question. "Still thinking about what Harold said to you. The man is already fired plus you got every last bit of the research he made for 20 years on these gemstones". Ken said to Josephine.
Josephine nods to Ken as she does not know who to turn to especially what happen in the conference room. "Ken, my pregnant belly did in fact glow. Harold and I were the only two people that saw it. For a moment, I heard a voice of a dragon in my head. It said that the Underdog Gemstones can not be in his hands". Josephine said to Ken.
Ken is really taken back by it as he looks at Josephine. "The Underdog Gemstones, it is an interesting name". Ken said as he looks at the gemstones.
All the sudden, the ruby gemstone is glowing again as the others are slightly glowing as well to both Josephine and Ken. It is not long that Josephine's pregnant belly is glowing a bright red color again.
Ken and Josehine are stunned by it. "That is very unbelievable, Josephine, and this time the other gemstones glowed this time". Ken said to Josephine.
Josephine nods to Ken as it worries her even more. "Ken, I want you to take the gemstones and put them in a safe place where Harold will never find them". Josephine said to Ken as she has a decision already made on it and something else.
Ken nods to Josephine as he is wise to follow her orders. "Of course, Josephine what are you planning to do"? Ken asks Josephine as he is wondering about the expression on her face.
Josephine turns to Ken. "I want my child to be safe and happy. I do not want him or her to be in constant jeopardy and danger because of Harold". Josephine said to Ken.
Ken looks at Josephine as he gets the idea on what he is saying. "Are you saying what I think you are saying"? Ken asks Josephine.
Josephine looks at Ken. "It will be for the best to give our child up for closed adoption, Ken. Once the child is born, Harold will be out to get him or her. There is that chance that neither one of us will see the child again". Josephine said to Ken.
Ken nods in agreement as he holds her hand. "It is a huge risk Josephine". Ken said to Josephine as they make their plans.
Meanwhile at Harold's house, he is on a warpath as he is throwing things around. The sound of broken glasses and plates in the kitchen sounds like a massive fight is breaking out.
Harold went to his office as he continues to work. "They will all pay, and Josephine's daughter will be mine". Harold said to himself as he makes some plans of his own.
About 4 months later, Josephine and Ken are at the hospital. Josephine delivered a very healthy baby girl. It shocked doctors that both mom and baby are doing very well.
Josephine and Ken look at each other. "Josephine, you know what we must do right". Ken said to Josephine.
Josephine nods to Ken as she puts a strong warm front for the baby. "I know Ken. There is a chance that she will never see us again". Josephine said to Ken. It is right then and there that they give up their daughter for adoption. The only thing they left with her is a special bracelet with dragon charms on it.
Ken and Josephine parted ways from the hospital. Ken got on his special boat with the Underdog Gemstones. Josephine prepares herself to face the music of what will happen next.
Two days later, at WC Lab Corp, Josephine is walking around to find hardly anyone around there. She is getting the sinking feeling that something has happened to everyone in the building. Josephine walks into her office to find someone sitting in her chair. "Harold, I thought I fired you". Josephine said to Harold.
Harold turns to Josephine. "You did fire me Josephine. Plus I do not go by that name anymore. I am Crushmis. I was hoping that Ken and your daughter will be here. Plus where are those gemstones? I need those gemstones to power up the weapon to destroy the world". Crushmis said to Josephine.
Josephine glares at Crushmis as she tries to put a fight against him. "I will never tell you where they are. I rather die than betraying Ken, my daughter, and the Underdog Gemstones". Josephine said to Crushmis. However he kicks her to the floor. It is not long that his mechinal henchmen grabs her.
Crushmis looks at Josephine. "Actually killing you now will not be worth it, Josephine. I do need you for other things, and these things you will not like". Crushmis said to Josephine.
Josephine looks at Crushmis as she does not want to know what it details. "Where are the other employees of WC Lab Corp"? Josephine asks Crushmis.
Crushmis looks at Josephine. "They are being tested as we speak at secret lab of mine. They are no longer the people that you know Josephine". Crushmis said to Josephine as the mechinal henchmen escorts her out to an armored van. Crushmis drives away as Josephine is restrained in the soundproof back.
As the years passed by, no one really knows what happened at the WC Lab Corp on that ill fated day. Love ones of the people who worked there still want answers to this very day.
16 years later
Out on the harbor of Eagleview, a boat is pulling into a slip the ropes are tied in to their place. It appears to be a sail boat, but in reality it is a state of the art yacht. A man is in the main cabin as he looks at a photo of him, a woman, and their baby girl. He has blonde hair and green eyes. He has regular casual clothes. 'Oh Josephine, our baby girl, I have missed you so. Even though the plan worked, I can not help what has become of you both'. The man thought to himself as he notices the briefcase. As he opens it up, He sees the eight Underdog Gemstones glowing and shining brightly. "I suppose it is time, and who are the true underdogs that will rise up and save the world". The man said to himself as went to a wall. He presses a button as a secret drawer to reveal eight morphors.
The morphors are smart phones in the eight colors from red to black. It has an engravings of a mythical creature and a dog on it. "Let the Underdog Squad Rise Up". The man said to himself as he closes the secret drawer.
At an abandoned science and technology firm, a mad man is sitting in the office of the CEO. The mad man is human but he has transform himself into a being with unnatural powers. He is chubby and fat wearing a strange outfit. He is bald headed with beady green eyes. As he gets a phone call, the man has an evil grin on his face as he is informed about a few things. "I see then. It is time to unleash my plan". The man said to the person over the phone as he ends the phone call.
The man presses a button on his remote. In doing so, a wall opens up to reveal a woman who in a cell. She is heavily restrained on a chair. She has auburn colored hair and sparkling blue eyes. Her clothes are worn, and she is bruised as well. "Well Josephine, it has been 16 years since you fired me from this very lab. Everyone laugh at the weapon that suppose to protect the world from danger. Plus you just had to hide the Underdog Gemstones and your baby girl away didn't you". The mad man said to the woman named Josephine.
Josephine glares at the man. "You know the reason why I fired you in the first place, Mr. Simmons". Josephine said to the mad man name Mr. Simmons.
The mad man slaps Josephine in the face. "You know good and well I do not go by that name anymore Josephine. I am Crushmis. I will break every last bit of hope and confidence that your beloved Ken will rescue you. I will find your daughter as well". The madman named Crushmis said to Josephine.
As he leaves the room, Crushmis presses the button on the remote. He has that evil and sly look on his face. 'No one will stop me, not even Josephine's daughter'. Crushmis thought to himself as he look at old blue prints of a weapon he designed years ago.
End Prologue.
All the winners has been decided. It was a hard decision on a few of them. They were great OCs.
