Power Rangers Constellar Defenders
Chapter 4: Defenders Complete PT. 1
Early Morning, Outskirts of Angel Grove, California
Angel Grove, a city famous for being the birth place of the legend that is the Power Rangers. The outskirts of the city, while mostly desert, at one time held one of the ranger's greatest secrets. The Command Center or Power Chamber, depending on your incarnation of the team. A plateau in the middle of the desert is all that remains of the once mighty base of the rangers. On this night however, things were different.
Normally the only sounds that would be heard at this time of night would be nocturnal creatures. On this night however, there was something else. A loud, eerie sound pierced the silence and a sudden burst of purple light shot out of the ground at the Command Center's former location. The burst seemed to create a crater at its point of origin, revealing a semi clear orb glowing purple.
Onboard the Dreadnought
"Lord Coryphaeus! We have located the second artifact." The female demon general reported as she kneeled in front a throne. The throne slowly turned to reveal the monster, staring at the orb he had taken from the asteroid over KO-35.
"I can feel it. How specific is the location?" Coryphaeus asked the kneeling general.
"All we are able to tell for sure is that the energy surge came from somewhere near a city called Angel Grove." The female general replied. Coryphaeus raised his free hand and the general stood up, awaiting orders.
"Azelza, you will take a squad of Shadow Spawn and investigate the area surrounding the city." Coryphaeus commanded as a small platoon of foot soldiers appeared behind Azelza, and the small group quickly disappeared, teleporting towards the planet. As soon as they disappeared, the male demon general entered the throne room.
"Golark, I am glad you are here. You will also be going down to the planet, but with a different mission." Coryphaeus began, while Golark stood very still and awaited his orders. "I want you to attack the city of Angel Grove. I know we have been followed here, and I want to make sure they don't interfere in my plans." Golark nodded and disappeared to carry out his master's wishes. "Very soon..." Coryphaeus said as his throne turned back.
Defender Megaship shuttle
On the shuttle, the three security volunteers, Malakite, Hannah, and Andros looked out the side windows at the planet Earth. Hannah, Malakite, and the security personnel seemed to be in awe of the beauty of the planet, and Andros could not blame them. Andros calmly cleared his throat to get the attention of the two Defenders, who turned to face Andros.
"Now I'm sure you are wondering why I had you dress in casual clothing." Andros began. He was wearing a red polo shirt, blue jeans, and red and black sneakers. Hannah was wearing a red blouse, red knee length skirt and black boots. Malakite had a white t shirt under a brown leather jacket, brown jeans, and white sneakers. "Well we'll have to blend in while we keep our eyes open for signs of the Conquerors." Andros answered their unasked question, while the two Defenders nodded. On the wrists of the two Defenders were two silver wrist cuffs with a colored line down the middle all the way around. Hannah's stripe was red, while Malakite's was white. The two also had been given a small phone like device for communication purposes.
As the ship approached Earth, a message was sent to the shuttle. Andros read the message aloud to the crew, which explained that a surge of energy similar to the one on the Asteroid Research Center had recently gone off. After the message reading, the shuttle became eerily quiet as they all got lost in their own thoughts.
Angel Grove Park
In the morning quiet of the park, two individuals are seen running down a path. One a fairly skinny looking white male with short blond hair, while the other was a black male who had a runner's body build with long black hair that had gold highlights. Both individuals wore black jogging pants and tank tops, but the black male wore a black tank top, while the white male wore a yellow tank top. The two continued running until they reached a bench with two water bottles and two towels sitting on it. They stopped for a bit to rest and rehydrate.
"Man, I forget how nice the city can be this time of the year." The White male said aloud. His running buddy couldn't tell if he was talking aloud to himself or if the comment was directed at him. "Wouldn't you agree Jevon?" He continued, turning to face his running buddy.
"Zack, did you already forget I still live here?" Jevon replied good naturedly, which caused Zack to chuckle a bit at himself. "Not all of us can get a scholarship and go to USC to play for the Trojans." Jevon continued as he sipped from his water bottle and wiped his forehead with a towel. "How's that going for you anyway?"
"It's good man, but man is it different on the other side of the country." Zack replied, taking a sip from his own water. Jevon and Zack had been close friends since they were young and maintained that friendship, even with Zack moving to the other side of the country for college. "So what should we do? I mean there's quite a bit that's changed since last year around here."
"Well let's do this." Jevon began "Let's go home, get showered and meet back here in about an hour. Then we can go exploring. Sound good?" Zack smiled and nodded. The two then gathered their things and headed off in separate directions. Unbeknownst to the pair, just nearby a small group of shadow spawn were lurking, waiting for the right time to attack.
One hour had passed and Jevon was waiting on Zack. Jevon had changed into a black long sleeved Under Armor shirt with a grey sleeveless hooded vest over it, grey jeans, and black combat boots. A few moments later, Zack came running up to Jevon, clearly out of breath. Zack was wearing a clean yellow tank top under a yellow jacket, black and yellow sneakers, and a yellow hat with a pair of black sunglasses resting on the brim.
"Sorry I'm late, little sisters decided to bug me." Zach replied as he caught his breath. Jevon laughed a little, which earned him a glare from Zack. "So anyway, on my way here I passed by this electronics shop I'd like to check out." Jevon nodded and the two headed off. After about five minutes of walking the pair came to a small shop with various electronics on display in the front window, with 'Rays' Electronics' on top of the window. "Seems interesting. Shall we enter?" Zack asked. Jevon nodded and the two entered.
"Welcome to Ray's Electronics. Can we help you two?" A voice came from the back of the small to average size store. Behind the counter stood two individuals, a male and a female. The female had brown hair kept in rather long pigtails and wore a navy blue t shirt, navy blue jeans, and blue sneakers. The male had a blonde military crew cut and wore a green shirt, navy blue jeans, and green sneakers. Jevon and Zack shook their heads and began browsing. "Well if you need anything, I'm Rena, and this is James." The female said, even though it was somewhat clear that the two weren't listening to her.
Moments later the door to the store opened again, and Rena said her usual greeting before getting a look at the new entrant. The girl in question was a bit short, with light brown hair that reached down to the middle of her back and wore a pink crop top under a light blue jean jacket, a black high waisted skirt, and pink vans. She too went to browse the store, deliberately keeping her distance from the other two in the store. A few minutes of silence went by before suddenly being broken by panicked yelling and screaming coming from outside.
Rena, James, Jevon, Zack, and the new girl looked out the window and were horrified by what they saw. A large group of Shadow Spawn were attacking, causing chaos while civilians tried their best to flee the scene. All the three could do is watch and pray that they wouldn't be the next target. Suddenly something seemed to get the creatures attention, as they all turned to face the same direction. The five were able to make out three humans at they charged at the Shadow Spawn, who seemed to be holding their own pretty well.
Hannah, Malakite, and Andros were unaware of the five watching them from a nearby store as they fought to keep the Shadow Spawn at bay. They seemed to have the upper hand until a massive explosion went off behind them, knocking the three off their feet. Quickly they got up and turned to face the explosion, only to be greeted by a hulking purple skinned demon with spikes growing out of his body.
"Puny humans!" The creature roared "I am Golark and I am here to claim this planet in the name of the Shadow Conquerors." The five in the store stared at the demon in wide eyes horror, shocked by what they were seeing. Hannah happened to glance in the direction of the store and saw the frightened five. Hannah whispered something to Malakite and ran towards the store, busting open the door.
"What are you five doing here?" She asked, an authority in her voice.
"Look we were much safer in here than trying to go out there." Rena explained, almost feeling insulted that this girl who couldn't have been older than 20 was trying to boss them around.
"Ok but listen, it's not safe even here. We've gotta go now." Hannah said as she held the door open. Slowly the five of them left the store as the Megaship security detail showed up and led Hannah and the other five to safety. Malakite and Andros meanwhile had been keeping the monster distracted by fighting him hand to hand, which they had a severe disadvantage. One strong blow knocked both Malakite and Andros away from him, which caused him to laugh.
"Is that the best you can do?" Golark seemed to taunt them. Andros and Malakite nodded to each other before facing the creature down. Malakite flicked his wrists (Kind of like in PR Zeo) and his wrist cuffs changed into two halves of a shield with a white gem in the center, while Andros pulled out his Astro Morpher.
"Ready?" Andros asked. Malakite nodded and they both made their moves.
"LET'S ROCKET!" Andros called out as he held his hand out in front of him. He brought his hand back and flipped open a cover on his morpher, revealing a key pad. He typed 3-3-5 and hit a fourth button. The morpher lit up and engulfed Andros in a red light. As the light faded away, Andros was replaced by the Red Space ranger.
"CONSTELLAR DEFENDERS! POWER UP!" Malakite called out as he brought both of his arms up in front of his face. He brought his arms together as the shield halves fit perfectly, causing the white gem to begin to glow. He pulled the shield halves apart and a shield made of white energy appeared and engulfed him. When the energy died down, Malakite was replaced by a figure wearing white spandex. He had a shield attached to his right arm with a white jewel socketed in it, and on his chest was a white shield emblem with a star in the center. Each star point had a color on it, the top point was red and, clockwise, the other points were blue, pink, yellow, and black, while the center of the star had a white gem. "GALACTIC PEACEKEEPER! CONSTELLAR DEFENDER WHITE!" Malakite called out, striking a pose.
"SPIRAL SABER!" "DEFENDER AXE!" Andros and Malakite called out as they summoned their weapons to their hands. Andros held a silver spiral patterned blade with a red tip. Malakite held a white axe with a guard around his hand (Similar to the Titanium Ranger's weapon). The two then charged at Golark, intent on stopping him from doing anymore damage. Unbeknownst to the two rangers however, six young people saw their transformation. Rena looked especially shocked and whispered under her breath "Power Rangers? This must be more serious than we know."
A/N II: There you have it. Now I know some of the OC introductions were a bit rushed and not much happened in the way of character development for them, but since this is a two part episode (as most of the episodes will be) there will be a bit more of that in the next part. Also within the next couple of chapters I will be putting up another OC form. This one will be for secondary characters. These will probably mostly be characters that will be involved with the filler chapters, but may break into a main storyline if I can work it in so keep an eye out for that. Also for the four of you that submitted OC's I have to ask, would you want to see romantic relationships sprout up between your character and another? If so, PM me with an answser and if yes, let me know who you'd like to see them with. OK I think that's all the business I have to take care of for now. Please leave a positive or negative review, and I'll see you guys for the next chapter.
A/N III: If you guys would like to know more about Hannah and Malakite, I posted their bios on my bio, so check them out if you'd like.
