Dauphin Mall
"So, the enemy knows who I am. Need to leave the premises before more intelligence is gathered."
Jesse then tells the Morpher to transport him to the Alpha-7 Lab. An light enveloped him and he was back in the lab. He was trying to gather his thoughts on what to do in this situation. He looked over at the tapes and decided to listen in on each of them so he could understand more about his Morpher before going into battle again...
Intergalactic War Cruiser, The Sword of Khan
The infamous cruiser, Sword of Khan had quite an history of space battles, but more specifically, the Power Rangers. The one sitting at the center of it all was known as The Adversary, an former Ranger who became corrupted after an fateful team-up taking down the last remnants of the Machine Empire. However, it was just memories to him and he focused on the now...
"Ceph, what data have you gathered?" as the warlord spoke to his lackey, Ceph. An frail alien he used for intelligence and enhancing some of his personal army. In addition, he was quite the engineer.
"From what it looks, it seems that the Sword of Archons fell before the Crimson Ranger. Quite an bloody end for him and he was one of the better enforcers in your army. Why send him on an suicide mission?"
"Now, now. Would I send him on a mission with little point? No, it was to test these so-called Last Rangers' combat skills to see what we're up against. From what it looks like, this Ranger is much more aggressive as a fighter and has much better upgrades, dimensional rifts? Wrist-mounted weaponry? I'm surprised there's no Zords yet."
"My lord, why don't we destroy him now? He's spent from the fight."
"Ceph, you see. The reason why I can't destroy him now is three reasons. One. I want to see ALL what he has to offer. Two. He's not the only Ranger. Three. I want the Earth to see its heroes go down with their own eyes and to accept me as ruler of the Earth, showing every wannabe conqueror what they couldn't do: Bring order to the galaxy. The second: Destroying the Power Rangers."
"Bring order? You know, I wonder if he got over the other Red Rangers taking away his powers. But could it? I'm getting a bit into this. I'll just focus on my work." thought Ceph as he continued on the combat data collected.
Ceph's boss was an peculiar man, he was known by many names, but only two stuck the most: The Adversary and his christened name, Hyperior. He shown himself to be quite charismatic and devious when he needs to be. He is constantly seen in his training room, maintaining his superb skills in unarmed/armed combat with sparring androids programmed with data from previous enemy encounters.
The last that Ceph seen of Hyperior was him going into the Cybernetics Division, maybe it's either him enhancing his armor or his weapons. The alien just resumed working...
Alpha-7 Lab
Jesse now was still listening to the tapes. He took mental notes in his head as he was listening.
"I'm going on an detailed explaination, so take notes. The morphers you have are called the Ultimo Morphers. These morphers are very potent in power and in addition, they evolve and record combat data and even giving access to powerful forms for you to combat the enemy, especially you know who. You know there are four in total, however in the event of my death, things were delayed. The Adversary destroyed several hundred Rangers, even ones I never heard of before. In addition, the Ultimo Morphers were left in an strategic location, only known to me and a tech genius. You need to find who will be on your team. The Morphers are different, they will call only to those who are worthy or something like that. The morphers will tell you about who their chosen host is, the reason is because we didn't have much time..." and the tape ends.
"I can't believe I'm saying this. I have to find who is worthy... this sounds cheesy, it's like something out of a comic book." as he powered down.
"The million-dollar question, who the hell am I gonna recruit? Teenagers? My old unit? Young adults? Former soldiers?"
Jesse thought to himself this question and then went to the simulator and entered in a familiar area.
Battlefield Generating in 3... 2... 1...
The area became the familiar area, an town in Afghanistan and the enemies, the Taliban armed to the teeth. Jesse then went into his Ranger mode and then did the first thing that came to mind, take cover. He took cover behind an destroyed tank.
"Where is the infidel?"
"Keep your calm, you'll alert him to our location." said the leader.
Jesse stood up and unloaded on one of them, the Taliban squad responding back in kind. He snuck around around while the Taliban just started reloading. In one swoop, the commando blew off one terrorist's head and shattered another one's spine. The leader and his second-in-command ran into a building.
"What are they doing now?"
The leader found an arsenal and lifted up an RPG 7 and aimed it right at Jesse. He speed to a tank quickly and then opened fire on the building through the windows.
"Aghhh!" as the leader was surprised by the gunfire and saw his second-in-command shot up badly. He would have none of this, he decided grab an AK-47 and go defeat the enemy dirrectly.
Jesse saw him coming out of the building and noted to himself.
"Get the enemy mad enough, they'll expose themselves."
The Taliban leader wasted all his ammo, trying to kill Jesse. This played into Jesse's plan: make him waste ammo and then come in for the kill. He kept his guns trained on him, just in case. The Taliban pulled out twin knives and tried stabbing Jesse. However, the knife thrust would be his last.
He grabbed the leader's hand and snapped his arm in half, then grabbed the other knife and gutted him like a fish. He was incapacitated and no longer a threat.
Simulation Over.
The war zone turned back into the Alpha-7 Lab. Jesse wasn't surprised about his lethality, his combat skills never faltered and in addition, he can now kill quicker.
"You know, I really need an team. Hopefully one that is an psychologist or at least one who is training to be one."
He powers down and punches in the coordinates in his morpher to go home. He would think it over and best of all, tomorrow would be his day off.
Jesse finally teleported home and then went into his small residence and onto his bed, sleeping today's events away. He had all of tomorrow to think about it.
Raventon PD
In the small town of Raventon, there was a small police department that mainly dealt with street crime and the occassional low-level crime ring. Despite that, it was very laid back. However, recent events made the Raventon PD busier than ever, especially with help from the Metropolitan Police and it even gained the attention of MI5. Two incidents involving the Crimson Ranger left police and civilian alike, baffled. In the center of this madness, there was two men. Det. Forrester from Raventon PD, being assisted by an agent from MI5, his name: Lucas Hunt.
"Well, this is the most attention that Raventon ever got. I mean, it appeared on BBC News. Say, do you know anything about these Power Rangers?"
"They're heroes, saving the world multiple times. They have fought things that could wipe out several militaries in one swoop. In addition, giant robots. I'm talking technology that is centuries ahead of us."
"Yea, though, I wonder. Who the hell is chosen to be a Ranger?"
"Don't know. *sees the police chief.* Alright, chat time is over."
The police chief sees everyone seated, an mix of investigators from Metro, SO19 officers, local Raventon PD and a couple of agents from MI5.
"As you know, there were was an Crimson Ranger. However, this one is much more violent. We need to take him down before he puts civilians in danger. Unlike the previous Rangers, they would let the police do their jobs. Hell, there was one team that was made of emergency personnel. But that's another topic altogether. I present to you, the case officer from MI5, Kyle Gerhardt, you will give him your full cooperation."
"Thanks, chief. For this operation, we'll need to set up plain-clothes teams in order to collect substantial intelligence on this Ranger. Your assignments will be given to you by Lucas Hunt, the other MI5 agent right there. Now, let's get to work."
"This will be interesting." thought Forrester.
Hunt and Forrester would be working together for the next two weeks.
Review.

Criticism is Welcomed.
