The year is 3016, the universe continues to strive closer towards real peace, but that doesn't mean crime itself is eliminated. There are still criminals in the world who try to disrupt the status quo through extreme means, but they're all eventually stopped by the universal power Time Force.
With the invention of time travel, the Time force was formed to stop all those who seek to misuse this invention. It was originally made up of only the best police and military personnel in the galaxy. When they became firmly established and spread throughout the universe, they knew they had to form an elite academy to train their future members.
The time force academy only accepts the best of the best into their doors. First conducting a thorough background check alongside a rigorous entrance exam which tests you both mentally and physically. When one has completed all the initial requirements, they must then spend a year studying the history and rules of the time force. During their first year at the academy many students get weeded out due to failing the final exam which requires at least a ninety percent. Those who have made it into their second year then choose their specialty, and train in that field almost religiously for the next year.
Our story follows the adventure of five students who have just passed their first year at the academy, and are now attending their final lecture by the Time force pink ranger Jen Scotts.
"I feel like she's been talking for hours," a young man with dark brown skin and short black curly hair huffs as he idly doodles a crude looking dragon on his desk. "It was interesting at first, but now she's just dragging on!"
A young man with blonde hair and a buzzcut chuckles as he scribbles a knight next to his classmate's dragon. "You just have a short attention span."
"Hey, I have an idea!" the young man's caramel brown eyes beam with pure excitement and eagerness. "We can try pulling a prank on the pink ranger!"
"Marcellus, you madman! You know how much trouble we'll get in!" the young man's blue eyes filled with shock as his mouth gaps wide open. "But we'll be legends if we pull this off!"
"This is why I love you Kyle! Come on let's go!" Marcellus and Kyle get on the floor and start crawling under the desk trying to be as quiet as possible.
An anthro cheetah-like alien with yellow fur and green spots looks over at his classmates with confusion. "What are those two doing? Is that some sort of human ritual?"
"Ignore those two idiots Neow, they're probably off to pull some prank!" a blue humanoid-like lizard rolls his eyes before gently caressing the hand of Neow. "I'm more concerned about you. Have you been getting enough sleep?"
"I'm fine, Lizero you worry too much." Neow unconvincinly mutters as he rubs the heavy black bags under his orange eyes.
"I feel like I don't worry enough!" Lizero grips Neow's hand as tight as he can. "You need to take better care of yourself! You can't accomplish your goals if you're sick."
"You're right, thanks!" Neow gives the best smile he can muster in his tired state. "I promise I'll take a long nap later." Lizero smiles back twice as hard at his dear friend.
A young woman with milk chocolate skin spots the two pranksters crawling on the floor out the corner of her eye. "Why didn't they invite me! I'm already so bored!" She pouts, and over dramatically flops on her desk knowing full well what they were up to, accidentally knocking over a small can of mountain dew.
"What's wrong with you!" another woman with a sandy brown ponytail slams her desk and screams at the top of her lungs as her laptop short circuits. The back half of the class is now staring at her.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry Sabrina I didn't mean to!" the woman with milk chocolate skin frantically looks through her pockets for something to wipe off the laptop.
Sabrina grabs the collar of the foolish young woman, her natural white face now beet red. "Sorry doesn't bring back my days of coding!"
"I said I was sorry alright!" the sandy girl smacks Sabrina's hands away matching her anger. "Look I can just help you redo the coding, it's no big deal."
"I doubt someone with your I.Q could help me! You'll make things worse!" Sabrina scoffs at the girl. "I've never seen you at the top of anything on the academic list! What was your name again?"
"It's Lisa!" the young woman flips her waist length black hair, puffs out her chest with pride, and looks down at Sabrina with her red eyes. "And the reason I'm not on that stupid list is that I want to use my brain for more creative uses! We don't need to all color inside the box like you Sabrina!"
"Call me Sabrina one more time, and I'll shove you inside that imaginary box!" Sabrina threatens as the tension in the air rises.
"Can you two shut up. You're embarrassing yourselves." A young man with shoulder length raven hair says with a hint of irritation in his voice.
Jen Scotts smiles from the front of the class. "I was just about to say the same thing, thanks Eric!"
The two hot-blooded girls give each other one final glare before sitting down.
Suddenly a massive explosion hits the classroom out of nowhere, engulfing the students in a blinding light and covering it with thick black smoke. The walls and ceiling crumble like paper from the blast, crushing anything beneath them.
"What was that?" Marcellus uses all his strength to pick himself up. He rubs his head to try to get the ringing out of his ear, but to no avail. "Kyle? Kyle!?" The young man finds his friend buried underneath some debris. "Just wait a second, I got you buddy!" Marcellus pushes the debris off Kyle and lightly pats his face.
There is no response from Kyle at all, and his lifeless blue eyes gaze up at the ceiling.
"Come on man it's time to wake up, things are going crazy!" Marcellus refuses to believe the truth and begins violently shaking him. "Come on man this isn't funny, you need to wake up!" Tears begin to swell up in his eyes as he clutches his best friend and buries himself into his chest.
A similar situation is happening not too far with Neow and Lizero. Neow looks at his friend, but unlike Marcellus instead of sadness and regret, he's bubbling with rage and revenge. "Whoever did this shall not be forgiven!" He shouts at the top of his lungs as he dashes out the room before anybody has time to react.
Sabrina powers through her pain to follow Neow as she holds on to her bleeding arm. "Wait up, you can't go alone!"
"Time for Time Force!" Jen Scotts morphs into the pink time force ranger and blasts falling debris before it could hit more students. "Everybody follow me we're getting out of here!"
"Hey, you can't just sit here!" Eric says as he carries another student on his shoulder. "We need to start getting all the injured out ASAP!"
"We didn't expect being a Time force officer to be anything like this, did we Kyle?" Marcellus wipes the tears from his face and gently lays his best friend on the floor. "I promise I'll be back for you. I won't let your body rot here of all places."
"Hey, I can help too!" Lisa comes limping over still full of energy despite her injuries.
"Of course we'll need everybody who's willing and able." Eric hands off the student he was supporting and runs back into the classroom. "I'll move the debris while you guys carry anyone who can't walk alone."
Lisa and Marcellus nod in unison and commence their plan managing to evacuate everyone still alive.
With everyone out Jen Scotts leads the way with her Chrono blaster ready. One by one, explosions could be heard left and right followed by piercing screams.
"Ms. Scotts shouldn't we be helping the other classrooms?!" Marcellus wonders in a panic.
"The other teachers can handle them, my priority is getting you all to safety!" Jen states in a commanding but kind tone.
"I see some of the teacher's now!" Lisa spots a few academy professors and waves over at them gleefully. "We're over here! Is everyone okay?!"
"Get down!" Jen shouts as the teachers aim their Chrono blasters at the students. Most got down in time, but some, unfortunately, didn't.
Jen launches a counter attack by first firing her Chrono blaster to stun some of the enemies. She then uses her Chrono saber in quick succession to disarm them, before finally taking out everyone with swift strikes to their abdomens.
" are you okay?" Marcellus concerningly runs up to his teacher, but she holds out her hand indicating him to stop.
"Stay back!" Jen aims her blaster at the dazed teacher. "Why are you doing this?!"
"That's simple," the teacher ominously and somewhat eeriely laughs. "The alliance wants you dead pink ranger!"
"Get in line!" Jen restrains the defiant teacher with ease. "Class, help me put restraints on our friends here, I don't want anybody shooting us in the back."
"Yes Ma'am!" a few members of the class shout in unison as they each get out there standard issued cuffs.
"I have an idea!" Lisa giggles as she takes the Chrono blaster held by the evil teachers and begins tinkering with it.
Jen angrily stands up to reprimand her student. "What are you doing Lisa?!"
"Annnnnd, done!" Lisa closes the cover to the blaster. "We may not be as skilled as you , but thanks to me this baby now has the firepower of a vector blaster! That way we can even the odds!"
"No, it's too dangerous for you cadets to be fighting! You are ordered to follow me, and that's final!" Jen snatches the blaster from Lisa.
"We have been following you, and a quarter of the class paid for it." Eric crosses his arms to stand up to his teacher. "At least give us the chance to protect ourselves."
"I'm sorry Ms. Scotts, but I agree with Eric," Marcellus says with his face still stained from tears. "If teachers are apart of this alliance, who knows what has happened to the students. We need to sweep the campus and get any survivors before it's too late!"
"You can't do this alone Ms. Scotts," Lisa tosses Marcellus an already upgraded blaster. "And I don't want anyone else to get hurt."
"Do you have a plan?" Jen Scotts's voice waivers, indicating the students have one chance to impress her.
"I thought half of us could escort our injured classmates, while the other half go find more." Eric adjusts his hair showing the confidence in both his eyes. "You have an important mission to find the source of this terrorist activity."
"I can lead the first half in finding more students!" Marcellus jumps at the chance to volunteer.
"I'll come with you!" Lisa says as she tinkers with another Chrono blaster. "The more weapons, the better!"
"I'll lead the rest of the students to safety then make my way back if everyone doesn't return in a timely manner," Eric adds.
"Promise me..." Jen hesitantly hands Eric the blaster. "If things get too dangerous you'll run."
"Of course." Eric nods as he leads his group of students to the campus exit.
Lisa and Marcellus take their handful of students and begins rescuing everyone they come across. The explosions have stopped, but the piercing screams of the students stuck in rubble or significantly injured continue. Thankfully Lisa's upgrades one shot most of the enemies making it easy to restrain them as instructed.
"That's everybody!" Marcellus scans the final classroom once more. "We should get out of here, Eric is probably already looking for us."
"Wait," Lisa grabs Marcellus by the arm as the other students head to the door. "I have an idea, but it might sound a little crazy."
"I'm listening," Marcellus gives Lisa his full attention.
"We still don't know who this alliance leader is, but what we do know is everyone who's been attacking us are our teachers." Lisa wags her finger to explain the theory. "Wouldn't the Dean's office have some information on what's going on?"
"Lisa you're a genius!" Marcellus hugs the young woman tightly. "But I don't want you going alone."
"That's why I told you, idiot!" Lisa playfully punches Marcellus in the arm. "If too many of us go, we could be spotted, but some of the best pranksters in class can sneak past anything!" Marcellus smiles as the two dart towards the dean's office unnoticed by the rest of the group.
Meanwhile, the academy is still in a war zone-like state, and Neow is fighting as if he's a frontline soldier, slicing anybody who dares aim their weapons at him with his sharp claws. With his incredible speed, he's a nearly unstoppable force. "Why are you doing this! Answer now and I'll go easy on you!" Neow menacingly scratches the cheek of his enemy causing blood to drip down his chin.
The man spits into Neow's face. "The alliance isn't afraid of you!"
"Another one!" Neow throws the man down and kicks him in the face to knock him out. He then takes a few long and deep breaths to clear his head. "They're all saying the same thing, this is getting me nowhere! I need to calm down and assess the situation."
"It's about time you realized that," Sabrina strolls towards Neow as if she's on a runway. "I've been following you for a while now. Thanks for clearing a path by the way."
Neow shakes his head in disbelief. "I didn't even notice you honestly."
"Yeah, you were really on the warpath." Sabrina huffs in annoyance. "I tried to go to the armory to get some weapons there, but it was blocked off by the enemy. We also can't communicate to the outside, so whoever did this planned it out for a considerable amount of time."
"There you are," Eric interrupts the conversation. "You're the last ones left."
"Last ones?" Neow tries putting the pieces of the situation altogether in his head. "What do you mean?"
"To the best of my knowledge, all the surviving students made it out, defeating most of the alliance along the way." Eric quickly explains. "Ms. Scotts also went deep in the academy to find their leader."
"So everyone's safe, and the pink ranger is still fighting the remaining enemies." Sabrina scratches her head. "Then maybe we should get out of here, there's no reason for us to stay."
"Can you... Hear me..." A static voice echoes from Eric's pocket.
"This is the dean's number?!" Eric interrogates the mysterious voice with his guard fully up. " But it sounds nothing like him! Who are you?"
"It's... me... Marcellus." the curly haired student says through the static. "Look not much time... their leader is at a secret hanger... I'll send you the location... We'll meet you there... Ms. Scotts could be in trouble!" The transmission was apparent at first but immediately cut off.
"Should we go?" Neow voice shakes, but his outward appearance stays strong. "If the pink ranger can't beat this group what chance do we have."
"Well, we can't just leave her!" Sabrina shouts in anger. "She's our teacher!"
"Sabrina's right," Eric calmly pulls up the map on his communicator. "We don't have to fight Neow, we can just go in and rescue her."
"You better be right!" Neow clenches his fist forcibly stopping the shaking in his voice. "I have too much to accomplish to die here!"
The trio locates the secret hanger in a hallow hallway just as the map indicated. They sneak quietly inside and see high-class battle ships all around them. In the center of the hanger stood a colosseum-like stadium surrounded by a crowd of people, shouting glory to the alliance. The pink ranger and a shadowy cloaked figure fight intensely inside the enclosed space.
"What are we going to do now?" Neow bites his lower lip. "There's too many of them!"
Sabrina spots Marcellus and Lisa out the corner of her eye, near the enemies weapon rack. "Those idiots!" She crotches and tip-toes over to them alongside Eric and Neow.
"What are you two doing?!" Sabrina angrily asks.
"We're powering up this vector blaster!" Marcellus smiles. "When we do, we'll have a chance to save , and take out at least a third of these alliance members all in one blow!"
"And the ensuing chaos will make them scatter like bugs." Lisa laughs.
"Will this work?" Neow asks out of concern. "Because if it doesn't, we're all dead!"
"Not if we leave the upgrades to Lisa it won't!" Sabrina starts tinkering with the weapon as well.
"The vector weapon is loud and has a long charge." Eric scratches his chin in thought. "They'll notice us before we have a chance to fire."
"Then I'll cause a distraction on the other side of the hanger!" Neow doesn't give anyone a chance to debate and immediately slips away.
Eric readies his blaster behind cover. "That just leaves me, I'll protect you all in case we do get spotted!"
The plan began when Neow started taking out alliance members, causing them to all fire at the alien cheetah. Although he was fast enough to dodge some, he couldn't evade all of them, getting hit multiple times before collapsing.
Marcellus along with Sabrina and Lisa hold up the vector blaster before Neow was dogpiled, and fired it straight at the alliance leader. The blast engulfs a third of its members just as predicted. The extra firepower caused the vector to explode, knocking back the three holders and giving them each varying degrees of burns.
"Fools!" the cloaked figure mutters in an echoing tone. He swats the beam away with a single hand, as he holds Jen Scotts unmorphed in the other. The redirected beam takes out another chunk of his forces in the process. "I have no more patience for this!" their leader throws Jen like a rag doll against the wall and heads for a nearby ship.
"We can't let him get away!" Eric screams. As everyone else was injured, he took it upon himself to pursue the fleeing threat, rapidly firing his blaster.
The enemy ship closes and takes off in a mysterious wormhole.
"He got away!" Eric looks at the aftermath of the battle. The remaining alliance members fled in different directions when their leader left, and each of his classmates laid on the ground battered and bruised.
"Eric..." Jen weakly mutters. "You have to get the other's on that ship over there. It contains healing pods."
"Right!" Eric does as he's told and quickly but cautiously takes each one into a healing chamber, though everything changed when he got to Jen.
"Go after the alliance leader." Jen points to a distorted piece of the sky. "It's not too late to follow his temporal trail!"
"What about you?" Eric tries to lift his teacher only for her to push him away.
"I'm fine." Jen stands up. "I need to stay here and arrest all these alliance members while figuring out what's going on in this time with the other rangers."
Eric salutes with pride. "Yes, ma'am!"
"You've all displayed great bravery and skill, I know you guys can do this." Jen sympatheticly smiles "You'll find what you need to fight in a black box labeled prototype."
Eric enters the ship and immediately begins looking for the black box, locating it in front of a small human-like robot. "Is this an alpha unit?" He turns on the machine
"Ayayay! What's going on!" the black and gold alpha flashes bright colors.
"We need to get this ship moving and this box open." Eric holds up the container.
"That box is... could you really be! The new power rangers!" the alpha unit gleefully says as she unlocks the black box.
"What!" Eric says in shock for when he peered inside. He saw five wrist type morphers and cards. "I've never seen any morpher like this?"
"My name is Alpha 55, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Alpha 55 holds out her robotic hand.
Eric slams the case shut and points towards the cockpit. "No time for introductions we need to move!"
"Yes, sir!" Alpha 55 fires up the engine to make a massive jump through time.
And with that, the adventure of these five young cadets begins.
I'm happy I did this because I got to work with some fresh and creative people.

Also sorry if the chapter seemed to spread out there was so much to cover, so I split the characters up from time to time. I hope that didn't mess up the experience
So what did you guys think?
Do you have a favorite character yet?
Is the story too long?
Should I split episodes in half?
I also felt the action was bland any opinions on that?
