Power Rangers: Factions

by Blue and Away

Two figures of a lost history have risen to fight for their justice with the power of the Zords. They need mighty Power Rangers to help them on their quest. But, these figures are not in unison, and look to destroy the other. When two teams of Power Rangers collide, who fights for good? Who fights for evil? And why? Heroes, villains, friends, and love all hangs in the balance. SYOR

1. Prelude

Much of history is unknown. Mostly, that's because it is uninteresting. Stories tend to be forgotten when they're not worth remembering. But, one unparalleled legend has long since faded from the details of men's minds. A stranger on the street would laugh at the name Basquille, the Twilight Magician. Your friend may only look bemused if you tried to ask them who Luanne of the Thousands Inventions was. And, rightly so, their stories aren't found in any history book or records of any sort. Though their story is far from monotonous.

In fact, it lacks an ending. They only sleep now, waiting for the next chapter to be written. They wait for just the right cue to enter stage right.

Within the knotted branches of a great, dying redwood tree sits a round talisman, resting between the collected branches of a bird's growing nest. Buried three feet under a kid's sand castle sits another, covered by time and saltwater. Two football helmets crack against one another at the San Benno high school, stuck deep beneath the field's turf lies another. Dozens of others have found their homes elsewhere.

A city has been built over and around the greatest weapons ever devised. They sleep with the likes of Luanne and Basquille. It won't be until midnight tonight that some begin to wake. The talismans will seek out their bearers. Power Rangers will be born. But, what will they fight for? Why? And who will be worthy?

This is not the beginning of their story. It's only the prelude.

A/N: I apologize for the short chapter. For now, there's very little to be written... for now. This is an SYOR story, so please, visit my profile for all the rules and guidelines. While there isn't much to go over this time around, the story will include review responses, as I really appreciate any criticism you may decide to send towards this story and myself. I urge you to submit a character as soon as you can, as I'm eager to begin work on this story as soon as possible.

As of now, there's no deadline for characters. I will end things when I feel I've received a suitable amount, which will be at least three rangers for each team. I will post updates to availability on my profile.

Thank you for reading, and I hope you'll be here for the next chapter!
