Revival Of Corinth

Disclaimer: I own nothing but what you see here. Takes place a few weeks after Zeo's end and if it was possible, I'd be tying this to Eirenical's 'Taking Root' fic from a few years back. But alas, that won't be happening. I will be making use of RPM for this story too and some Go-Busters elements as well much like I did in the first chapter.

Summary: In the aftermath of Venjix's attack on Angel Grove, Billy and Trini set out for the planet of Corinth to see if answers from the past could help lead to victory for Earth and the Rangers.

It had been a trying few weeks since Emperor Venjix of the Machine Empire had arrived to gain vengeance for what had happened to his son Mondo. And even had some of his forces looking for wherever Zedd and Rita were as well. His attack on Angel Grove had been brutal with a good portion of it being destroyed. Jason ended up in a coma as well after his attempt to take on Venjix by himself while Bulk and Skull got people to safety in a bus. Those two had even tried squashing the Emperor with a vehicle as well but it had failed to do anything except annoy him somewhat. Jason's identity had even been exposed in the chaos of everything to Bulk, Skull, and those they had on the bus with them. Leading to a few furious people like his parents for being involved in the whole mess since day one. Billy had chosen to return from Aquitar to help where he could and even Trini and Zack had returned as well to provide some additional help. Despite the fact their powers weren't enough to face Venjix's stronger minions and monsters, but they didn't care either way. Zordon would even tell the Rangers of the story of Corinth. A planet in a distant galaxy that had unintentionally been the start of Venjix's rise to power some 80 years ago.

Though it certainly was combated against by the RPM Power Rangers that the creator of Venjix had made to combat against him in an effort to redeem herself for having unleashed him on the people of Corinth. And despite their best efforts to try and stop him, even bringing over the one known as Tenaya 7 to their side, they were ultimately defeated when he chose to do something none of them had expected. Which had been to cause the planet to enter into a never ending freeze. Thusly, allowing him to gain victory and move beyond the frozen planet of Corinth and extend his hand everywhere and build an empire for himself as he did so. An empire that Mondo himself wanted to one day be in control of as it was his birth right so to speak. And had thought that by taking Earth, it would be his gauranteed ticket to an early rise to the throne. Shortly after being told the story, Billy would get an idea that maybe they could unfreeze the Corinthians and gain their help. Zordon wasn't too sure of it since nothing anyone else had done had been able to work. But did have to admit that perhaps Billy could succeed where others hadn't.

But he wouldn't go alone as Trini had every intention of coming with him for the whole thing. As not only to help him out if needed, but also because she had greatly missed him while away. Something he wasn't about to turn down at all and studiously ignored the comments and snickers this got from the others about all the private time he and Trini were gonna be having pretty soon. Especially as the two would teleport all the way to a halfway point where Cestria would be waiting on a transport ship to take them further in order to throw off anyone who might be watching. Dex, the Masked Rider, along with Trey of Triforia would even lend aid to the Rangers as during all this. Especially in a more permanent but at the same time temporary measure until Billy and Trini returned from the planet of Corinth. Billy and Trini would even be profoundly grateful for the fact they had brought plenty of warm clothing material since it was cold as Hell on Corinth. Which would make sense in their view as it would need to be that way to maintain the permanent freeze Venjix had placed.

The two, with Cestria's help would track down where the RPM Rangers had operated out of and using some equipment Billy had put together with Trini's help, would be able to siphon power from their access to the Morphin' Grid and use it to break the permanent freeze on the whole planet. And when the RPM Rangers finally took notice of them after celebrating the fact they were able to move again, Gemma, the Silver RPM ranger would be the first to notice them. "Who are you!?"

Her shouted question would cause the others to look their way and they would all tense up. "We mean you no harm to your faculties, I promise you." Quickly stated Billy.

"Yeah? And I bet that's what Venjix would want us to believe!" Shouted Dillon, the Black RPM Ranger.

Trini shook her head. "Venjix isn't even here anymore on this planet."

"Impossible!" Denied Dr. K. with a shake of the head as she went to check her computers.

Which were a bit slow to work with considering the permanent freeze. Not to mention Colonel Mason Truman trying to get through to speak with her. "I regret to inform you that it has been 80 years since Emperor Venjix placed your entire planet in an Ice Age that effectively froze everything." Billy stated.

Trini would take up from there after that while the team looked at him with wide disbelieving eyes. "In that amount of time, he's created an empire for himself that has ony grown stronger and its only recently that he's come to our planet after his son's near destruction to take it for his own."

"And ye've come to get our help with the old boy, haven't ya?" Asked Flynn, the Blue RPM Ranger with his arms crossed.

Both nodded at him with serious expressions on their faces. "We may be Rangers as well, but its proving to not be enough against him and his forces. And Billy thought that the answer to his defeat would possibly be here."

"Well, you probably came to the right place then. Unless of course we all get frozen again." Said Ziggy somewhat sarcastically, the Green RPM Ranger with a smile.

Causing Dillon and his sister, Tenaya 7 to snort while Summer just sighed. Hating the fact that she'd lost out on 80 years of living because of that robotic bastard. "I don't know about the others, but I want to help! Nobody freezes me for so long and gets away with it!" Declared Gem, the Gold RPM Ranger.

Gemma, his sister immediately jumped in on that as well, causing Trini and Billy to smile at their enthusiasm. His communicator then beeped. "Yes, Cestria?"

"Billy, my scans indicate that while yours and Trini's methods have unfrozen the planet. They also tell me that a 82 percent of the population did not survive. I am sorry. It is possible that years of being frozen was simply too much for them."

Billy and Trini closed their eyes at that while the RPM Rangers had their eyes widened in shock. And Summer hoped like crazy that her parents weren't among those who'd been lost. Something Flynn was hoping for as well where his dad was concerned. "Then we owe it to them to go to your planet and finally defeat Venjix for good this time." Declared Scott, the Red RPM Ranger with an angry tone to his voice.

His words getting firm nods of agreement. "Colonel Truman is in complete agreement, Series Red. And it is likely your RPM Gear will need upgrades to combat Venjix. As I've no doubt in my mind that he's grown stronger since freezing us all years ago."

"We have adequate transportation waiting above the planet to take us back to Earth where Emperor Venjix is when you are all suitably prepared."

"That is agreeable then, Ranger of Earth. And I am sure we can upgrade your equipment as well."

"Affirmative. I have even been looking into that myself." Admitted Billy and causing Trini to turn to him with a surprised look on her face.

"Really!? How come you didn't tell me!?"

A blush appeared on his face after that as the RPM Rangers, Dr. K., and Tenaya 7 quickly set about getting what they needed for the trip ahead. Though Scott did go off to pay a visit to his father since he wasn't sure when he would be back. "I… I hadn't thought to do so as everything we've been dealing with failed to keep me from ensuring you were properly apprised of it."

Trini gave him a soft look with a smile on her lips as she placed a hand on his forearm to let him know it was okay. "Relax, Billy, I understand. I'm just glad I know now as it means I can help you out with it."

"Agreed."

Soon, their new friends were ready to leave and would be quite shocked by Cestria's appearance due to her rather alien appearance but didn't let it put them off for long. And once they were on Earth and Venjix sent out three of his strongest monsters, he'd get the shock of his machinal life when he saw the RPM Rangers and Tenaya 7 join the Earth Rangers and their allies against their newest opponents! "NOOO! ITS IMPOSSIBLE!" Roared the angered Emperor.

But as they would soon prove as they defeated the monsters, it was damn possible much to his ire!

Author's Notes: Hope you guys enjoyed! A future update will be where I make use of the Go-Busters stuff despite the fact I had intended to do so here. But life works like it does and all that!
