A/N: I love the Power Rangers series and I thought I should make a fanfiction about all the Rangers, former and future, faced by a new enemy. Most of the Ranger teams have been attacked by the new Darkness and are under his influence. Some Rangers are sent to help the Mystic Rangers, the Rangers from Once A Ranger, eventually others as well. I'm guessing this'll be at least a 50 chapter story or longer and this is my first story so if I got something wrong please correct me. Please also review, rate, follow and continue reading.
Chapter 1
Toby enters the Rock-Porium with a puzzling look on his face. The store was buzzing with many people and he looked around for his employees. After a while of looking for them, he entered the store and looked around and called out, "Xander! Vida! Chip! Madison!"
Vida then came to him holding a box of CDs, "Sorry, Toby we're busy here!" Vida hurried passed him and dropped the box in the back of the store. Xander was sitting in 'his' red chair reading a magazine, "Hey! You gonna help us or not?!" Vida asked over the voices of the other people and took his pillow.
Xander looked at Vida, "Listen V, I'm supervising you guys, remember? And besides I'm the Manager." Xander smiled as Vida just sighed and left helping other people throughout the store. "Now to get back to 'supervising'." Xander picked up his pillow and put it back in its place continuing to read his magazine.
"Same old, same old, huh Xander?" A familiar voice said taking his pillow and Xander assumed it was Chip.
"Chip, can I have my pillow back?" Xander placed his magazine on the nearby table and stood up turning around. "And stop fooling around and get back to work."
"Nice to see you too Xander." Xander was surprised and was speechless. "Xander?"
"Nick! You're back!" Xander shouted out as the other employees looked over. "Mate, we haven't seen you for more than a year! But no time for reunions we are busy today." Xander ran over to the register where Chip and Madison were at.
"I could help." Nick insisted as he took off his jacket wearing his old uniform. "And I won't take no for an answer." Nick came over to the register.
"'Kay good because we need all the help we can get." Madison replied walking to the back taking a clipboard to make sure all the boxes that came were delivered.
"Maddie, this box isn't ours. Mind to take that to the back for me?" Vida asked holding out the box.
"Yeah, sure." Madison took the box and dropped it next to the other boxes that weren't for them. She checked off most of the boxes on the clipboard and headed back inside.
"Good to see that you haven't entirely quit the job." Vida said passing by the register grabbing a CD. "Here you go. Is this what're looking for?" Vida handed the CD to the customer and the customer handed her the money needed. "Thank you for shopping at the Rock-Porium." Vida went up to her DJ set and started playing.
"At least V didn't loose her touch." Nick noticed and helped a few customers.
"Wait, what are you doing here Nick?" Chip asked taking the clipboard from Madison when she came back.
"I had to come back, for you guys. And besides there's not much excitement anymore." Nick answered putting a few items into a plastic bag and handed it to the customer.
"Well glad you're back mate and we'll need to fill you in on what has happened recently." Xander gave a customer a few plastic bags and when he looked at the whole store, the customers were all served and left. "Looks like our job is done."
Toby came out of his office, "Guys, you won't believe it but-" Toby looked seeing no one, but his fellow employees.
"Toby? You were saying." Madison waved her hand in front of his face.
"Oh, yes, uh, remember when Xander had to go help the Operation Overdrive rangers with other former rangers." The others nodded except for Nick. "Well, we'll need their help. Get in here." Toby entered his office as the others followed. "Okay, now listen." Toby pressed a button on a box and it opened up. Static was heard, but then a voice.
"There will be no stopping us. Not even the Mystic Rangers can stop us. Even if you Rangers try, you'll fail always. If you want to protect your precious city, then I suggest you meet us in the forest at Root Core before sun down." They exchanged looks, then at Toby.
"Toby, how'd you get this?" Vida asked looking at the box.
"It was on my desk when I got here." Toby answered honestly and the box disappeared in a flash.
"I don't like this. Only Xander has his powers because of the Sentinel Knight." Madison said.
"Who is the Sentinel Knight?" Nick asked and Chip chimed in.
"The Sentinel Knight was a warrior that sealed three powerful enemies each onto different planets and as you know there is a new form of Power Rangers, Operation Overdrive. These Rangers had only four groups of evil they had to defeat, good thing the four groups didn't like working together. Anyway, two of the powerful enemies were already fighting the Rangers and were desperately failing, but then the third powerful enemy joined together the four groups of evil and overthrew the Rangers together and the Rangers lost their morphing powers. With it gone, the Sentinel Knight had no choice, but to take former Rangers and give them back their powers, they were: Xander Bly, Tori Hanson from Ninja Storm, Kira Ford from Dino Thunder, Adam Parks from Mighty Morphin, and Bridge Carson from S.P.D. They defeated the enemy, Operation Overdrive got their powers back including the five people I just mentioned, and everything went back to normal. Well, normal for a Power Ranger's day. So only Xander will be able to fight these people."
"You're telling me that Xander has his magic back." They nodded. "How is Xander going to beat whoever those people are? We're not going to use Plan Xander." Xander stayed quiet.
"Yeah, that'll be hard considering that we have to watch them kick his butt." Vida said chuckling.
"Ha ha, very funny." Xander said crossing his arms.
"Should we contact Operation Overdrive?" Toby asked finally after a short period of silence.
"No, I got this." Xander said taking out his morpher.
"Are you sure? We've never faced them, actually we've never even seen them." Chip asked not so sure this plan will work.
"Yea, don't worry. Xander's got it covered." Xander said his self-confidence kicking in. "Let's go. Toby you stay here, just in case it gets dangerous out there." Toby nodded and wished 'good luck' before they took off for the woods.
"Anyone see anything?" Nick asked as the others shook their heads, seeing only fog.
"You sure you're up to this Xander?" Vida asked as they reached Root Core.
"Yeah, I got it under control, don't worry, mate." Xander answered as a laser came their way and hit right next to Xander and Vida and they dodged it.
"Never thought you would come, after all you have no powers except for Xander Bly." A voice said, they looked around still seeing no one.
"We have at the same time an advantage and disadvantage. Let's just get this over with." Another said.
Two people emerged from the fog, but their face still hidden. "Which mission are we accomplishing first? We destroy the Rangers or we get the Ranger?" The one on the right asked.
"If we destroy the Rangers first, we'll still be able to get the Ranger." The one on the left answered.
"Wait, but aren't you both human, ordinary people?" Vida asked.
"Yes, we are. I know it's not everyday you find a fellow citizen destroying their own world. You Rangers always assume that monsters are the ones that take over the Earth, but you're mistaken. But trust us we've already fought monsters like them. Let's get rid of them, shall we?" The left one asked taking out a sword.
"We shall." The right one had a laser blaster in his hand already and was prepared to fire. Xander looked at the laser blaster and recognized it from somewhere, but couldn't put his finger on it.
"Xander, anytime now." Nick suggested.
"Right. Magical Source, Mystic Force!" Xander took out his morpher, pressed the spell code and morphed into the Green Mystic Ranger. He held his Magi Staff Axe and let it rest on his shoulder and remembered where he had seen the blaster. "I'm surprised you're here, not much of a responsibility to protect the Earth anymore. What happened?"
"Nothing, just had a change of heart or more like direction or path..." The right one answered slightly confused and pointed his laser at them.
"Xander, you know him?" Chip asked prepared to defend or at least dodge the shot.
"I'm afraid I do. Green's his color as well, met when we had to help out Operation Overdrive, but now or sometime in the future he's Red. Now that you're on the side of darkness, you're promotion won't be happening."
"I'm not all that worried, the side of Darkness is a wonderful thing if you give it a try." He said.
"Enough talk. We came to destroy you all, but bring back the only one who has their Ranger powers." The other said. "We'll let you take the first shot."
Xander readied himself then charged at the two, "Never thought I'd see the day when fellow Rangers are covered in Darkness so easily." Xander slashed his axe at them, but they jumped back. "I will not be changed by Darkness, unlike you. I'll always be on the side of light!" Xander used his magic and roots trapped the two.
"Good job, Xander!" Vida patted him on the back and they all went over to the roots.
"It won't hold them for long." Xander mentioned. "We better run before they catch us."
"No, you better run, they're after you."
"V, I know what their capable of, you guys don't. I know what to expect." The roots began to break and Xander took his fellow Rangers away from the roots. "Run!" The roots exploded and Xander turned around as the two walked out of the rubble.
"Stubborn, aren't you? Bridge, you know what to do." Bridge nodded and took out his morpher.
"S.P.D. Emergency!" Bridge morphed into the Red S.P.D Ranger. Bridge took out the Delta Blasters and connected them making the Delta Blaster Combo Mode.
"I'll take care of Xander." He said quietly and took his sword and Xander held his axe ready to fight. Bridge ran towards Xander, but passed him going for the other Rangers.
"Hey!" Xander went to stop him, but was slashed by the other person with Bridge. "What happened to you guys? The Earth needs your protection, not your destruction. How did you guys get here?" Xander got up.
"You ask a lot of questions, but we came here for you. That's all you need to know, now let's get this over with." He said striking at Xander with various swings from his swords often trying to trip him.
Bridge shot at the Rangers and was successful in hitting some of them causing the others to stop. "Move and you won't like the results." Bridge held Chip and pointed the Delta Blaster Combo Mode at his head. "Stand down, Xander."
"Chip!" Madison said and Xander looked back and backed away from the other former Ranger.
"Power down." Xander demorphed put his hands up in defeat.
"No, Xander! Don't give up! Just because I'm like this, it doesn't mean that you have to give up. Remember you have to sacrifice one to save another. You have to save yourself, Xander!" Chip explained and Xander didn't think he could do anything, he had to save his friend, but he also had to save himself. The most hardest dilemma of his life.
"I'll give you the answer." Bridge pointed the Striker at Xander and shot.
"Xander!" The four other Rangers yelled in unison.
