It was only fair that I added Skyrim (aka Elder Scrolls) as a crossover since I will be using the Dragon language and creating spells from them. I understand that this may frustrate or even make some readers quit reading this, but I feel like it's necessary. If you don't like the abrupt change, then I do apologize sincerely, but it's just something that I had to do to preserve story flow (and keep me motivated).
Another side note, I had always planned on bringing dragons at one point in the story. I just want to let you guys know that now so it's not a surprise when they first come up. It would only make sense as Raylan's Zord is...well...a dragon.
Anyways, on with the story!
==Moscow, Moscow Oblast, Russian Federation==
Moscow had a period of city recovery on that Sunday. Luckily, there were no monster attacks to interrupt the already broken city during their rebuilding time. The last thing the place needed was another firestorm.
Raylan took Alli and Chase into his room, much to the disappointment of the chaperones. However, he needed to talk with them over some stuff. He was clearly impressed with the way they handled their first monster fight, but they also destroyed the city in the process.
All three of them would be leaving that Monday: Alli and Chase by flight back home and Raylan by F-22 over to the carrier ship. Despite all of the sincere apologies, he still resented General Fuller over his little 'prank'.
Finally, it was 12 A.M. in Moscow and the students had to leave for their flight to arrive back at Palisade around 6 in the morning. Luckily, the teachers were told to excuse these students from their classes to get some rest for the entire day, a reward that the students could not have been happier to receive.
Raylan, on the other hand, could leave at any time during the day. He had to fly down to Pailsade as fast as possible to get an anti-nuclear suit upgrade from Gadget-X so he could visit Novaya Zemlya and see what Sutekh took from there.
Raylan woke up to a loud thud in his room. When he hopped out of his bed, he saw Exo standing on the other side of his room.
"Drem yol lok. Greetings, human." Exo grumbled.
"What do you want at 3 A.M.?" Raylan asked.
"Vith niid tiid. A serpent has no time."
"Will you stop talking in codes and get on with your message?" Raylan asked irritatedly.
"Drem, jul. Peace, human."
Raylan threw his arms out. "You want me to calm down when you're tearing apart this world?" he shouted.
"Fin gol fen kos dilon. The earth will be dead." he growled. "Feim zii!" he shouted, fading away in the darkness.
Raylan scratched his head and fell back into his head. He was so confused.
==Secret Ops Base, U.S.S. Columbia, Atlantic Ocean==
Raylan immediately flew his jet over to the Secret Ops Base to receive the details for his next exploit. He rushed onto the ship to meet with General Fuller and discuss the mission. While things were still awkward between the two, it was a straightforward request.
"I need you to find out what's going on in northern Russia. Novaya Zemlya, as you know." General Fuller stated, throwing a folder full of papers on his desk. "Don't lost these papers. These are a copy of the U.S. nuclear launch codes, the 'football' as it is commonly referred to."
Raylan quickly grabbed the files and held them closely. "I'll guard it with my life." he replied. "...which was almost lost thanks to you..." he mumbled, making sure that the general didn't hear that.
With that, Raylan headed out for his jet to fly over to Palisade. The first thing he needed was a suit upgrade from Gadget-X allowing him to keep his cool in a highly radioactive zone.
==Palisade, North Carolina, United States==
Chase and Alli spent their day off hanging out and listening to good music at the Java House. Since Chase's shift was only in the evening, he was treated like a guest with all of the employee discounts, to which he treated Alli with what she wanted.
"To be honest, that was a terrible 'vacation' to Russia." Chase said, sipping on his coffee.
Alli chuckled and sipped some of hers, as well. "Yeah, I agree. Some 'vacation' of fighting monsters..." she groaned. "Well, at least the problem's done with."
"Not necessarily, we still have other countries to go to."
"I hear the Rangers back here did a great job. There were new kids, too."
"I'm excited, I want to meet them." Chase smiled.
"Yeah, well I'm sure we can all meet up here today in the evening. That would be a great way to get a whole team bonding session down." Alli suggested.
"That's a great idea. I'll set it up." Chase agreed.
Gia spent the entire day at school with Marty. It seemed like they would eventually become a serious couple if time would allow them. Gia had never been as into a guy as she was to Marty.
Holling loathed Marty. The boy was taking all the attention of Gia away from Holling. Holling had been crushing on Gia ever since middle school and Marty just jumped in between everything. He had never felt an intense jealousy over any guy with Gia as he did with Marty because Gia had never been so serious with a boy before.
Noah was very impressed by Palisade High School. It had a much larger lab than Harwood High School did and the teachers were much more friendly. Not to mention the blazing fast Wi-Fi and wide assorment of rare chemicals.
When Jordan heard about the recent Ranger attack, he couldn't help but watch the entire coverage through the news. He wanted to be on the scene to see some live action, but the police had blocked out all access to the area. Jordan had been in Smalltown before he moved to Harwood, so he was familiar with the concept of Power Rangers. In fact, it had gotten to the point where his desire to become one had peaked.
Troy was really awkward during his first day in Palisade. Despite being the new kid along with the rest of the Harwood students, he still didn't mingle with any Palisade students. He mostly kept to himself and sat in the back during classes, apart from saying 'hey' to his fellow Rangers when he saw them in the hallways..
Emma spent her entire day with Gia, acting as a third wheel to her and Marty. Emma wanted to find love for herself, but she was lost in the shadow of her best friend. Most guys that talked to Emma only talked to her to get to Gia. Troy, on the other hand, was different. He seemed to respect both the girls equally. Emma couldn't keep her crush on him under control because even Gia started to notice that there was something up with her.
Nick Carlilse had a new mission: get to know the new Rangers. It felt that every passing minute was an opportunity to make a new friend, and he just had to seize the moment. After all, in time, these kids were bound to be his best friends.
Fernandez was glad to see Shayla back in school. Despite her having the option to take the day off, she still showed up in order to be with her boyfriend. For some reason, hoewver, they didn't seem to be as close as they were before.
Kenzie couldn't take her eyes off either Troy or Holling. Something about the two guys pulled her in and she felt an intense force of love that she hadn't felt since her four-day relationship with AJ. The way that both of them fought on the battlefield was intense and reminded her of princes in shining armour.
At the end of the school day, the Megaforce Rangers headed back to their hotel rooms for the rest of the day. As per request, Emma and Gia roomed together, Jake and Noah roomed together, and Troy and Jordan roomed together.
Gia was on her phone the entire time texting Marty. He had gone into town to purchase some snack items to keep his belly full when he was hungry. Despite the trip to the mini-mart being very short, Gia still felt like she missed him dearly.
Emma was acting really reclusive. She kept looking at a photo inside her purse and hid it quickly every time Gia leaned over to get a look. Before the school day ended, Emma stealthily took a picture of Troy and had it printed out at the local photo booth for a few bucks.
Noah was busy playing League of Legends on his laptop. He had just improved his character and got really into a match. He was so loud that people in the adjacent rooms could hear his cheering.
Jake was lying on the bed, tossing his soccer ball around. Next to Gia, soccer was the love of his life. He had been playing the sport since he was four and couldn't think of a day when there wasn't a soccer ball within his eyeshot.
Troy, despite his awkwardness during school, was very open with Jordan. He learned all about Jordan's past in Smalltown and what he remembered the most about the Ranger attacks there.
There was a sudden knock on Troy's door. Troy got up and opened it to find Nick, Kenzie, and Jake.
"Do you guys wanna hang out with us today? We're going to bring the two other Rangers that you guys didn't meet, yet." Kenzie asked. She peered into the room and saw Jordan sitting down on the bed. "You can even bring your friend over there." she suggested.
"Who, Jordan?" Troy asked, looking back at him.
Jordan got up when he heard his name. "What's up?" he called out.
"They just wanna know if we're down to hang out." Troy told him.
"Yeah, that's cool with me." Jordan answered.
"Yay! We'll get the others!" Kenzie squealed, running off to knock on Gia's and Emma's door.
Raylan and Emma had a great mini-reunion with Casey, but Raylan had to quickly rush out to Ryleigh's house to go talk to Gadget-X. He brought Emma and Casey along with him so they wouldn't get bored at home.
Ryleigh was home alone with Alissa since Johnny went out to record music for his band's new album. Since he wasn't at home, there was nothing to distract Raylan from getting down to business. He went to the basement straight away to find Gadget-X.
He found the robot vacuuming the basement. "Buddy, what are you doing?" he asked, petting the robot.
"It was an order by Ryleigh." Gadget-X beeped.
"Listen, there are a lot of things I need to know. First of all, I want to know if you've finished that upgrade to my suit." he affirmed.
The robot nodded its metallic head. "Yes, present your morpher to me."
Raylan handed the robot his morpher. Gadget-X did a few fixes and switches and finally handed the morpher back to Raylan.
"The suit upgrade is complete." it announced. "What else do you need?"
"I need to work on the whole 'feim zii' thing. I want to exploit their language." Raylan mumbled. "It's the only way to stop them."
"As for the language, I can't help you. You must go speak to the dragons."
"Whoa...hold up..." Raylan paused. "Dragons? As in...winged flying beasts?" he asked.
"Yes, the dragons."
"But those aren't even real!" Raylan exclaimed.
"To ordinary humans they are not, but to you they are."
"What are you talking about?"
"Do you remember the spirits we contacted to get your powers?" Gadget-X asked.
"Yeah, what about them?"
"As they became one with you, they also opened up your eyes to their creations. The spirit of Legendus, responsible for your dragon powers, has opened up a visual portal to dragons."
"So, what do they have anything to do with this?" Raylan asked.
"The dragons are the ones who created this serpentine language. They are the ancient ancestors of Exo's species. You must go consult them in order to destroy the underground wyrms."
"Underground wyrms? Is that the name of Exo's species?" Raylan asked. Things were actually starting to come together for him.
"They were created by Legendus, but severely corrupted by Osirin."
"Don't you mean Osiris."
"No, Osirin. The name nas been changed to fit modern languages, but the ancient name is Osirin."
"So I have to defeat him...using dragons?" Raylan asked.
"Yes, only the dragons can guide you in this path." Gadget-X replied.
"Wait a minute...if Legendus and his creations can only appeal to me, how come ordinary people can see the wyrms?"
"Years of being around humans have allowed them to become visible." Gadget-X answered.
"Al Qaeda..." Raylan realized. The terrorist organziation had been in the temple forever. Perhaps it was them that instilled the idea of killing humanity into the wyrms.
"They could be unknowingly behind this all." Gadget-X realized, as well.
"Where do I find the dragons?" Raylan asked. "I want to put an end to this." he announced.
"The legends spoke of them living atop tall mountains. Where these mountains may be are subjective to your perception."
Raylan nodded. "I'll find them...and I'll save the world." he said, running up the stairs.
"Ehh...the tough life of a hero." Gadget-X sighed, returning to his household chores.
