First movie universe as there are actual armored suits and villains with style.
Disclaimer: I only own original characters. I own the real rights to power rangers in my dreams alone. 'Don't judge.' lol. Now enjoy my slightly darker take on history as we move to the legacy of the rangers.
It has been nearly 25 years since the events leading up to the destruction of Dark Spector and his vile forces of evil. Andros, Red ranger and co-commander in chief of the newly formed Special Police Delta is kidnapped by the pirate crew Tsnimox. Will Andros survive? His second in command must make a dreaded decision. Create a team of ranger alumni that have either retired or are no longer active from earth to maintain order on a galactic scale in Andros' stead. Or go after the one friend he had left after drenching his hands in the blood of his friends years prior.
Power Rangers: A Destiny Covered in Blood
By SageModeSasuke
"I'm no longer worthy to carry the burden," a man lost in thought sadly pondered.
He'd been sure that his long time friend Andros would come through the door with a smile on his face with his wife Ashley, and their two boys, but it was not meant to be.
It's been nearly forty eight hours since he disappeared, and all of the space police's resources were spent blockading Earth's solar system. 'Why is it always Earth he pondered as he did what he slowly spun around in his office seat to his communication pad and made the dreaded call to his former best friend of so many years.
After a second
"Hello?" The voice answered, not bothering to look at his screen, but knowing it's urgency by the ring tone he set long ago in remembrance of his first team and the hatred of it's former leader and traitor that resided in his now blackened heart.
"It's been a while Tommy," Jason treaded carefully.
Jason saw his former friend's face begin to pale and waited for the explosion of anger to erupt once again as it had on so many times over the years, but something had changed. Something was different.
No longer did he see the eyes of someone who wanted to kill him, and on more than one occasion tried to do just that, but someone who still had much hate in his heart. Jason did not blame him.
"You had better have a damn good reason for utilizing Andros' channel.
"I need your help," Jason replied calmly.
Tommy laughed with such terrifying disdain that Jason wanted to hang up and forget he ever befriended him.
"Me help you?" Tommy scoffed. "You must think you're in the twilight zone or some delusional crap like that."
"Andros has been kidnapped. I have had all of my officers out searching for him that are not on solar patrol. You and I might no be brothers anymore, but I know you and Andros became close since we went to stop serpentara on the moon."
Tommy did not immediately reply until his new wife stepped out of the kitchen into the living room with him.
Tommy's wife did not like the tone her husband took, and had never heard him explode like that. She held out her hand and calmly said, "Let me see the pad please."
"This doesn't concern you Kira," Tommy foolishly snapped.
Kira leaped forward striking Tommy's face, and took the device from him.
"What the hell man?" Tommy asked incredulously.
"You obviously must be possessed or under some evil spell because my Tommy would never use that tone with a woman. Especially this woman!"
Tommy cooled down enough to apologize and asked for his 'isomethingorother 20'.
"One moment please," She then looked at the phone device, and went slightly off "And YOU! Whomever the hell you are, I don't care what business you have with my husband, if I ever hear him explode like that again I will personally come down on you like a ton of bricks.
Only Jason's uniform and badge had been showing as he lowered his pad while Tommy was chastised. Then something unusual occurred. Jason recognized her voice and pulled the pad up and asked, "Ms. Ford?"
A little shocked at the sound of the recognition she cautiously replied, "Mrs. Oliver now, but continue."
I met you a few months ago on KO-35 when the V'mere brothers tried to kidnap you.
This caught Tommy's attention.
Kira then asked, "Command Officer Lee Scott?"
Jason reluctantly replied "Full commander of SPD now. I am sorry to have disturbed your home. Tommy and I have some bad blood, but I will leave that to Tommy should he choose to share those gory details of the past.
"Your THAT Lee?" Kira asked dumbfounded.
Tommy had finally had enough.
"What's going on here?" He refrained from yelling, but his voice still held a barely contained rage.
Kira looked down then back up into her husband's loving eyes and said, "Mr. Scott is the one who saved my life at my KO-35 concert."
Tommy shook his head, sat down, and sighed.
"I give up. I just fucking give up."
Kira then asked Jason, "I know you both have a dark and muddy past, but it must be important for you to break silence and contact him. It's okay. I know about your red and gold past so you aren't dishonoring your former mentor Zordon. Why the call all the way from Triforia's Mecco Moon?"
Jason tried not to fight his instincts to hang up, but he then spoke.
"I hope I am doing the right thing." He pressed a button on his pad which transferred information on Andros to Tommy's pad.
After a few seconds…
"A ranger's in trouble, but what can we do? The Zeo Crystal is the only ranger power source available and it will take month's to bring It back into phase with this universe.
"Kira!" Tommy gently snapped as he would have when she were his student so many years ago.
"That's covered," was all Jason revealed.
Tommy knew what was coming and looked at her and said, "Not going to happen. We are out of the game, no morphers, and I am getting a little to old for this." Tommy said as he set out to lay down the law.
"Then stay home. A ranger's in danger and with that known there is no discussion," Kira said as she looked back at the pad.
"Once a ranger I guess. I'm in!"
"Your not going." Tommy said as he snatched the pad from Kira and tried to set down the law. He then tried to justify it when he said, "I don't trust you with that mad man."
Kira stood back up, and looked at her husband pointedly and stated very clearly and concisely, "You're my husband love, and I am your wife, so I would highly recommend you think very hard about the next words that come out of your mouth. Because they could be the words that make me file for divorce. I have been a grown woman for a while now. I have no inclinations of being treated like a child. You would do well to remember that. "
A moment after the shock wears off he offers an olive branch and said, "I'm going with you," at it was all he could seem to manage, and she nodded in reply.
After the arrangements had been made concerning timing and transport, Kira suggest she brings two additional people who might be of help. Jason agrees on the terms that Tommy vets them first much to Tommy's surprise, but he agrees. The two additional members of the mission met up with Tommy and Kira at the Nasada branch of Nasa, Angel Grove California.
Tommy greeted his old friend, and caught up, then to the beautiful brunette asked, "Did you train in martial arts by chance with Tao Dojo?"
She nodded, surprised by the question.
"A long time ago before my career took off. I wish I could have studied more often, but don't worry, I haven't completely lost my touch," she said with a wink as Kira rolled her eyes and smiled at the newcomer, and gently poked her husband for staring a little too hard.
To Kira, Tommy was still a little confused about why bringing the reporter.
"They don't have that many detectives trained yet, so who better than an investigative reporter to have help looking in a missing person case?"
The logic surprised Tommy, but he took it in stride, and tried to fight down the disgust he feels in helping Jason.
The other male passenger sat in quiet contemplation while the reporter kept fiddling with her necklace in anticipation.
AN: I hope you all enjoyed chapter one of my very first ranger story on fanfiction dot net. Please review and tell me what you think. Please no flames about being OOC. I have not gotten to why people are acting the way they are yet, and it is an alternate U. Anyway, keep on trucking hard, or 'I'll really cause some trouble!"
