Greetings, one and all, welcome to another chapter of Power Rangers: Legacy.
I hope your all going to enjoy it as much as I had writing it and now on to the story shall we?
Sky was making his way towards the Command Center on foot. None of the functions of his Morpher were working, not its communication function, not its teleporter function, and worst of all, he wasn't able to Morph into his Green Ranger form. All he had left was the Cross-Guard Saber he got from Marc.
All he could do was make his way towards the Command Center, hoping his friends would also head there, and he try to help people he came across who were under attack by the new enemy.
These were more machine-like in nature, and came in silver and purple instead of the Loogies green and black.
Civilians scream as they attempt to flee the chaos, the sounds of screams and roars fill the air.
As he reached the edge of the city, close to the beach where the Command Center should be, he spotted something he would describe as one of those monsters Malkor always used to send to them.
"Green Ranger.", it said.
"Who are you?", Sky demanded to know.
"Who I am matters not to you.", the robot leader said, "But you are the one that killed prince Vrak. His brother has interest in you, I'm here to take you to his majesty."
"Sorry creepy guy, but I am not interested into meeting his royalass.", Sky said, activating his saber.
He stares for a moment before answering, "Well, I'll just have to take you."
Every part of Gia's body hurt as she made her way through the Command Center. The track on foot towards it was one of the toughest tasks she had ever face undertaken in her entire life.
Especially since she her Morpher wasn't working, which denied her access to her Ranger Powers, her weapon or her Semblance.
While trying to keep out of sight from the invading aliens, she had come across a wounded Jake who had twisted his ankle.
She was supporting him as they continued the walk through the darkened Command Center.
"Reminds me of the first time we got here.", Jake said with a chuckle, before letting out a pained groan.
"Take it easy, Jake.", she said, as they entered the main room, where Gosei's giant head was still on the wall.
"Gia! Jake! Thank Zordon your alive!", Tensou said at once rolling over to them.
"Happy to be alive.", Jake said as Gia set him down, allowing him to lean against the wall as he sat straight up, "Wait, 'thank Zordon'?"
"It's just a saying!", Tensou protested.
"Are we the first to make it?", Gia asked.
"You... Are.", Gosei said, his voice sounding very strained.
"Are you alright, Gosei?", she asked as Tensou looked over Jake.
"I will be fine... I'll explain it when the other Rangers have arrived...", Gosei strained to explain
She gave a nod, before turning back to her fellow Ranger and friend, "I will get the first aid kit from the training room.", Gia said standing up, "I placed it there after training with Sky that one time."
"You mean after you gave him a black eye.", Jake chuckled. She returned the chuckle and was off to the training room.
She returned just as Noah came limping into the room, "Hey guys.", he said.
"Noah!", both Gia and Jake said.
Jake made an attempt to stand up, but groaned as his leg still hurt too much, "Easy there, don't hurt yourself.", Noah said kneeling next to his friend as Gia opened the kit and looked for a bandages, "Where is everybody?"
Just as he said that, Emma came in covered in ash, "Hey guys.", she said, as she hugged her best friend, "It's still rough out there, so glad your all save. What happened to your leg?"
"One of those robot aliens tried to attack a kid, so I kicked it... The robot, not the kid. Not the best idea I ever had.", Jake admitted, hushing lightly before Gia finished putting the banged on, "That feels loads better."
He carefully stood up balancing his foot to stand on as they heard footsteps, and a moment later Troy came walking in, holding his side.
"Troy!", Emma said, walking up to him and supporting her boyfriend, "Are you alright?"
"I am fine Emma.", he said gently, "Nothing's broken except my spine... and ribs and... Everything else.", he looked around the room, "Where is Sky? Where is Robo Knight?"
"I do not know where Robo Knight is... I lost a great deal of power myself to keep you six from disappearing along with your Ranger Powers when the Morphing Grid got infected.", Gosei explained, still seeing having trouble to speak, likely because of said lost of power, "As for Sky..."
"I am here!", a voice said behind them.
Turning around to the sound of a cross-guard saber being switched off, a Sky covered in ash, sweat and dried up blood came limping to them. They rushed towards him as he fell to his knees, Troy barley able to catch him before he hit the stone ground.
"Just like the first day of school. With you two being late.", Jake said, as they helped Sky sat down on the ground.
Before Sky could say anything, he felt Gia pull him into a bear hug. "Thank god your alright.", she said, burying her head into his shoulder, "I have no idea what I would do if you... If you..."
He petted her slowly on the back, "It's alright, Gia. It takes more than some robot aliens to bring me down..."
"What took you so long?", Jake said, happy all his friends were save, "You almost had us worried."
"I ran into some of those robot's who were ordered to take me to their prince. I think he wants to marry me or something.", Sky explained, "But I am not into aliens."
"What about Tali from Mass Effect?", Noah pointed out.
"Okay, I am not into male aliens...", Sky corrected himself.
"You did mention you were already taken, right?", Gia told him, rather sternly with a glare that could disintegrate a mountain, "I'll have you know, that I don't like sharing you."
"Y-Yeah, of course!", he added rather nervously, "Your the only Gia for me."
They then turn to Gosei, who had remained silent during the conversation, "What happened Gosei? Where did our Ranger powers go?", Troy asked.
"I have no idea Troy. Something or someone has managed to severe you all from the Morphing Grid...", Gosei explained, "When you accepted the role of Power Rangers, the Morping Grid became a part of you, as you became a part of it. It cost me nearly all my power to not only keep you Rangers from fading away, but others as well."
"Oh, that's not good.", Noah mumbled.
"That's an understatement.", Sky muttered, standing back up, "But I remember reading something about a team of Rangers having being cut off from the Morphing Grid, and they didn't disappear."
"That was a precised strike against that Ranger team. This attack was not only aimed at your Ranger power's specifically, but at every Ranger power that came before and will ever come.", Gosei continued to explain, "To put it into perspective, what this person did, was like ripping the Force out of a Jedi."
"I don't care about not having powers.", Troy said determent, "With or without Ranger powers, I am not going down without a fight."
"Couldn't have said it better myself.", Sky said, slapping his friend on the shoulder, and the others agreed, "Now what's the plan?"
Before they could say anything else, a voice spoke up from one of the consoles which lightened up.
"People of Planet Earth, I am Prince Vekar. I come from a world far from yours. I have journeyed across an ocean of stars to reach you. This attack was originally your eviction notice. Luckily for you all, I'm feeling generous.", the alien on the screen told, "I request that you give up the Green Power Ranger who killed my brother into my custody. In exchange I will leave your world alone. To those of you who may know of his current location: the fate of your planet rests in your hands. To the Green Ranger, I say this: surrender within four hours, or watch this world suffer the consequences..."
The screen faded out and all was quite in the Command Center. The others turned to Sky, who was still staring at the screen, a flame of determination in his eyes.
"He is lying.", Noah said, "There is no way he is going to leave us alone if we give him Sky."
"I know he is.", Sky said softly, looking at the ground, "But if me turning myself in buys you all time to find a way to fight back..."
"Over my dead body they are going to take you!", Gia told him, walking over to him, "Didn't you hear what I said just a few minutes ago. I wouldn't know what to do if something happened to you."
"What Gia said.", Emma added walking over to him as well, "Your our friend, we are in this together, we won't sacrifice one of our own."
"And I am not going to be an uncle to some half Sky alien hybrid.", Troy joked with a smile, this made the couple both blush lightly, "I find the prospect of a half Sky half Gia child scary enough, thank you."
"What uncle? Jake and Noah are going to be uncle's.", Sky told him, "Your going to be the godfather. Even to the half Sky half Gia hybrid.", the same smile on his face.
"Come on, Rangers!", Tensou scolded them, "This is not a time for joking! This is serious!"
"Don't worry, Tensou...", Jake said, "Laughing just hides the pain."
They than turned back towards Gosei, who seemed to have came up with a new plan, "I had a back-up plan, in case the battle against the Warstar aliens would escalate too quickly.", he explained, as the consoles lighted up again, and out of them, new Morphers phased.
The Ranger's took them, and a wave of warmth came over them, "These Morphers will not only grand you new Ranger powers, but the statue's that lined these walls symbolized the special powers you could call upon."
"Why didn't you have us these earlier?", Noah asked curios, "It would have been a big help in the tougher fights."
"It's because you would not be the only once tapping into the same Ranger power. The Morphing Grid can only handle a duplicate of the same power for a short time.", Gosei explained, "And as you know, never escalate a fight unless the enemy forces you to."
The Rangers looked at their new Morphers, for the first time since they woke up, they felt hope inside of them once again.
"You mean we can use all these powers?", Emma asked in awe as she looked around.
"You could... If it wasn't for whomever attacked the Morphing Grid.", Gosei said, as six lights in the colors of red, green, yellow, blue, pink and black light appeared in front of them, "I only managed to save one set of powers, which drained my remaining strength. But there is a hope spot in all of this."
The Rangers reached out to their respective light, which transformed into a respective Ranger Key.
"Whoa.", Sky said impressed, looking at the two Key's in his hands, "These are..."
"Why do you get two?", Emma asked playfully, "Why does Sky always get the special treatment."
"Sorry, but am I the only one who noticed that the light on my Morpher is the wrong color?", Jake interrupted, pointing to the small gem in his Morpher.
While Troy's was red, Gia's was yellow, Noah's was blue, Emma's was pink, Jake's had a green color.
"I think Gosei gave me yours, Sky.", Jake said, holding out his Morpher.
"That's no mistake, Jake. There is a simple explanation for that." Gosei began before an explosion shook the Command Center. A screen popped up, to show the invading army heading towards their location, "The are coming towards the Command Center, the sudden influx of power must have tipt them off.",
"We are on it, Gosei.", Troy said, and with a nod, the Rangers turned around to face the oncoming threat.
"Go, Go Power Rangers!", Tensou cheered them on as they rushed out of the Command Center.
The Ranger's rushed towards the edge of the city just in time to be confronted by the bulk of the invading aliens.
"Do we have a name on those things?", Troy asked through the Morpher.
"The grey ones are called Xborgs, while the bigger blue ones are called Bruisers.", Gosei explained, just as they were spotted by the alien Sky had run into earlier. It was now missing a hand, and several large cuts where burned into him.
"Well, if it isn't Little Green. It seems you brought some friends.", he said as he and his army noticed them, "Have you come to give yourself to Prince Vekar?"
"Like hell I am going to be some space princess!", Sky told him, "Besides, I have all the woman I need."
The alien merely scoffed at this, "Fine by me. Maybe I will keep your hand as a trophy.", he told him as the Xborgs began to charge.
"We are heavily outnumbered.", Noah noted, "But that never stopped us before!"
"And it never will! Let's roll out Rangers!", Troy said, as they took out their Morphers, and collectively shouted, "It's Morphing Time!"
Swirls of their respective color's enveloped them until they glowed their color before it exploded to reveal the Ranger's new form.
"Legendary Ranger, Red!", Troy as the Red Ranger said.
"Legendary Ranger, Blue!", Noah as the Blue Ranger said.
"Legendary Ranger, Yellow!", Gia as the Yellow Ranger said.
"Legendary Ranger, Green!", Jake as the new Green Ranger said.
"Legendary Ranger, Pink!", Emma as the Pink Ranger said.
"Legendary Ranger, White!", Sky said as the new White Ranger.
"Earth Defender's never surrender!", they said collectively before charging against the swarm of Xborgs as well.
Yellow Ranger slides over the ground before kicking away a Xborg, launching it into more of his comrades. The Pink Ranger leaps over a group of Xborg's while preforming an aerial bombardments with her new Megablaster before landing on the ground, shooting one that attempted to attack the Green Ranger from behind.
"Thanks, Emma!", he said, before slashing more Xborg's with his sword before firing on the other approaching Xborg. The Blue Ranger activates his Semblance before slashing three Xborgs, each of them going down before they could feel it.
The Red and White Ranger are standing back-to-back, slashing the oncoming Xborgs. Red Ranger rolls over the White Ranger as he preforms a undercut, shooting at the Xborgs as they tried to strike them from above.
"Am I the only one who noticed that our new powers kinda look like Pirates?", the White Ranger asked, sending a yellow muscle car towards several Xbors with a kick, "Sorry Bumblebee!"
"Is that a problem?", Red Ranger asked as he finished slashing at a Xborg.
"No, pirates are cool.", White Ranger responded, leaping over an Xborg and shooting at him while he has its back turned, "There hasn't been a pirate themed Ranger Team before as far as I know, so I think its pretty awesome."
"I am more of a ninja fan.", Blue Ranger said slamming the handle of his sword against an Xborg, before blasting it apart.
"Of course you are.", Red Ranger said, before taking out a Ranger Key, "Who wants to test out our Legacy Mode?"
"That's what I like about you Troy.", White Ranger said, taking out his one of his own Ranger Key, "You say what I am thinking!"
The other Rangers followed in taking out their Ranger Key, before they collectively shouted, "Legacy Mode, Mighty Morphing!"
"Great to be back in Green.", the Mighty Morphing Green Ranger said, looking over his outfit, "It's a good thing these pants don't show off how big of a boner I have right now.", intercepting an attack from a Xborg with his Dragon Dagger, before delivering a round house kick.
"I am not sure if he is joking or not...", the Mighty Morphing Yellow Ranger said, charging her Power Daggers, before charging forward striking the Xborgs as she passed, "And that is very concerning."
An Xborg attempts to strike the Mighty Morphing Red Ranger from behind but with a cut spin from his Power Sword, cuts it in two. "These Legacy Powers are amazing!", the Black Mighty Morphing Ranger aid, striking down an enemy with his Power Axe, whipping it around and blasting it apart.
"You can say that again.", the Blue Mighty Morphing Ranger said, striking the enemy with his Power Lance, throwing an Xborg into the air before unleashing a barrage of electricity from the tip of his weapon.
The Pink Mighty Morphing Ranger jumped with a backwards flip, shooting arrows from her Power Bow shooting her enemies down, "I can get used to this kind of power!", she said, spinning around and taking out a few more.
The Ranger's were now left with just them and the alien leader, in a flash of bright light, they were powered down to their Legendary Ranger form.
"I guess Legacy Mode doesn't last very long.", Red Ranger said, pointing his Mega Saber at the alien, "Everyone ready?"
Each Ranger began to glow in as they combined their weapons, resulting in the Super Mega Cannon, each Ranger inserted their Ranger Key into it, "Victory Charge! Finale Strike!", a shot of devastating white energy shot from the Cannon with a mighty boom, tearing the alien apart upon impact.
"Damn that was awesome!", the Blue Ranger said, as he high fives the Green Ranger.
"You can say that again!", the Green Ranger said, "Better than that raid with did on DCUO last Friday night."
"This was better, you didn't die this time, Jake.", the White Ranger told him playfully, slapping the Green Ranger on his shoulder.
"Perhaps if Emma healed me on time, I wouldn't have died.", the Green Ranger defended himself in mock anger.
"Sure, blame the healer!", the Pink Ranger joined the conversation.
"You guys went raiding without me?...", the Yellow Ranger asked, just as a beam came from the skies.
Looking towards the monster they had just defeated, who was nog grown to giant size. "Oh, poop.", the White Ranger said.
"Uh, Gosei, you don't happen to have a Zord laying around?", the Red Ranger said through his Morpher.
"You have, summoning Sky Ship.", Gosei told them.
With a loud roar of thunder, a massive red pirate ship appeared from the clouds. When it floated above the Rangers, it let down ropes for them to enter it.
"Am I the only one who noticed the name of our new Megazord?", the White Ranger said amused as they got in their cockpit and prepare to engage the monster.
Preforming a barrel roll to evade a stream of energy from the monster, the Sky ship began to transform into the Legendary Megazord.
"Yeah, yeah. We all know your Gosei's favorite.", the Green Ranger said as the Megazord evades another energy blast from the monster. With the Megazord back to its feet, with assistance boost of the Mega Space Zord on its back, it charged forward with the monster attempting to fire a rocket towards the oncoming Megazord.
Using its Legendary Saber's to cut it in two without breaking pace, it lunged, slashing at the monster before kicking him away as they reached it. the Megazord raised its arm to fire an energy blast of its own.
The alien took out a sword just in time to deflecting the shots before the Megazord engaged in close combat.
During a blade-lock, the alien fired his flamethrower but the Megazord broke the engagement off and ducking under it. The Megazord kicked its foe away and began to charge up its final attack.
"Super Mega Star Burst!", the Rangers said collectively before blasting the alien with all of its weapon, including a cannon from its chest, tearing the monster apart for a second time.
The Ranger's let out a massive cheer as the alien was defeated. "Ranger's. That was a Super Mega Win!", the Red Ranger said.
"What?", the White Ranger said, having to hold back his laughter.
"Couldn't help myself.", the Red Ranger admitted, "How about we take this fight to the Armada."
The Megazord unfolded it's white jet wings, before lifting off into space.
Inside the Armada's main command ship, inside the bridge with a massive window overlooking the big blue planet below them. The alien in command, the crown prince of the Armada Empire, Vekar was sitting in the command chair, overlooking his advisers.
"The initial assault on planet Earth went well.", Vekar's second-in-command, Damaras told him, "What ever happened to the Morphing Grid, it gave us the early advantages, but it seems it is coming back stronger than ever, making the humans fight back even harder."
"I told father and Vrak not to underestimate these humans.", Vekar said solemnly as he looked over the planet, "But they wouldn't listen."
"Its amazing what these primitive people are capable off, having fought off Rita Repulsa, Lord Zed, the Machine Empire and the Alliance of Evil.", the lead scientist on board, Levira, said, "And of course... One managed to kill your brother."
"We will avenge him once that Ranger turns himself in.", Vekar said, noticing something in the far distance coming from Earth.
"It won't be difficult for Headridge to find him.", Damaras said, looking from the female alien to his prince, "He is just as strong Malkor or Abraxas back in the day."
Damaras went quite and stepped back when he saw Vekar letting out a chuckle, "Was that a joke?", Vekar asked, "You compare that insignificant nothing to Malkor and Abraxas? Either you brought the most cowardly of all my father's troops, or the Armada soldiers have become woefully faint of heart. How do you expect us... Is that a flying Megazord?"
Everyone turned around to see the Legendary Megazord flying towards them, cutting through Armada ships as it headed towards the main ship.
"Throw up the shield and fire the laser!", Vekar commanded, and their ships did immediately, but to their horror, the Megazord evaded, taking much off their fleet down.
A ship was send nearly crashing into the command room, "Fire everything!", Vekar said, getting up from his chair, "Fire everyone!"
The ship charged everything, the concentrated beam of energy colliding with the energy barrier from the Megazord. Putting everything in it, the barrier began to crack and the Megazord was being pushed back to Earth when it finally cracked.
The power went out for a moment, before going back on. Vekar looked at the drifting wreckage which once had been his fleet.
"The Megazord has been defeated. But to do so we lost a good size of our fleet.", Levira said, reading from the device on her arm, "We also burned out the Extranet Relay."
"Meaning we are stranded here.", Vekar muttered to himself.
"Don't fret, your highness.", Levira said, typing something on her arm computer, "There might be some hope yet.", her arm displayed a map of Earth and in some places it displayed powerful energy signatures.
The Ranger's Demorphed when they walked back into the main chamber of the Command Center, each had a disappointed look of failure on their face.
"Why the long face Rangers?", Tensou said, rolling over to them, "The invasion has been repelled." as the Rangers came to a stop in front of Gosei.
"Yeah, but we failed at taking out the main ship.", Troy explained, "We won the battle, but the war is still going on."
"That's what your worried about? You fought a difficult battle using unfamiliar powers and despise the odds you came out on top.", Gosei said, as the Rangers looked at each other, "You can't win every battle, sometimes you fail even though you gave your all. The important thing is that you stand back up and keep going. That is all you can do sometimes."
The Ranger's felt a bit better about the situation, before Gosei continued to speak, "But the fact remains that someone attacked the Morphin Grid, and scattered the powers of other Rangers across the globe and time and space."
"So what do we do about that Gosei?", Sky said, as the Rangers looked at the Ranger keys belonging to the Mighty Morphing team.
"Fortunate for us, our the Ranger Keys give off a energy signature which we can track. Tensou has created a map.", Gosei explained, and on the console there was a map of Earth, some city's showing lights, "Unfortunately for us, I won't be able to teleport you all to each location. But the attack left me drained."
"Don't worry, Gosei. I got a plan... The only problem is going to be school.", Sky said, "By the way, have you found Robo Knight?"
"I... Have not. I can find his signeture anywhere on the planet.", Gosei explained, a hint of disappointment in his own voice, "But I won't stop to try and find him."
The a few days later, the Ranger's got an announcement from the school, the building had sustained considerable damage from the invasion, which resulted in them being unable to attend school for the next two months.
"That's convenient that school is cancelled for two months.", Jake said, as he, Troy and Noah, each carrying a duffelbag as they headed towards Sky's place.
When they came close to it, they could see a white and green Volkswagen van in the drive way, where they saw Sky, Gia and Emma placing food, drinks, camping equipment and other things you would need for a road trip.
"Good morning, are you guys ready for a road trip?", Sky said happily to his friends.
"Sky, we know your not on good terms with your parents, but that doesn't mean we can just leave for two months without asking for permission.", Troy pointed out, the smile disappearing from his friends face.
"So... You guys can't come?", he asked.
"Fortunately for you, we already did and they said yes.", Jake said with a smile of his own, "Also, I call shotgun."
"Yeah, your a little late for that.", Emma said, as Gia shot them a knowing smirk.
A few moments later, the trunk was packed and everyone was seated. Sky put in the ignition key, the radio was turned on and they were off.
"Why don't we take the Skyship?", Jake asked as he sat back in his seat.
"Do you want to telegrap to the Armada where we are going?", Gia asked over the seat before turning back to Sky, "So where are we going first?"
He placed his Morpher in the GPS holder, and pressed the white button, displaying the map Gosei had shown them a few days earlier, "I was thinking about this place. I know we already have those Ranger Keys, but there is a Power Ranger Museum which would be a good way for us to find information for our Legacy Mode."
"I agree.", Troy said, "Let's head for Angel Grove."
