-- Power Rangers Force: Aftermath --
And now the Power Rangers Lost in Space premiere.
Time: 2 years after countdown to destruction
Place: earth
A ceremony is in progress. Huge amounts of people are watching all over the world and in person.
"I am proud to announce the greatest advance in space ship technology. The first ship equipped with light speed engines. We now will be able to not only leave our solar system but reach the edge of our galaxy within a lifetime." The announcer says.
The crowd looks towards the vid screen as it lights up with a view of a diagram for a large ship.
"I'd like to introduce you to the lightspeed voyager." The announcer says.
The crowd begins to cheer.
"In the next year we will work out the plan for this ship and decide who will be it's crew." The announcer says after the roar dies down.
In other parts of the world the same broadcast is shown in other languages. Meanwhile on the megaship Andros and Karone watch with pride that their people helped make this ship in such a short amount of time.
"Have you heard from Zhane?" Karone asks.
"No. But I knew that communication would be tough on that ship." Andros responds.
"Considering what the explorer ship does, you may not see him for a very long time you know." Karone says sadly.
"I know. But at least this time there is a better chance that I will see him again." Andros responded.
Andros looks out the viewing window at the stars. He wonders which star Zhane is by now.
"DECA, set a course for KO-35." Andros says. Then he turns to Karone and says, "It's time to return home at last. We did good for earth."
Andros looks outside as the stars start to change direction as they prepare for hyperdrive speed.
"I'll be back. I won't dare miss the maiden voyage." Andros says with a smile.
Meanwhile in space the Megaship goes into hyperdrive and disappears with a flash of light.
Time: 3 years after countdown to destruction.
Place: A testing facility that tests new ship technology.
Groups of people are standing around an array of computer screens. Also there is a big window looking out at a big engine drive. One of the people is a woman named Janice. She is an attractive 30-year-old with dark hair tied back in a ponytail. She wears small glasses that are a nice blue color.
"Start countdown to testing of drive." Janice orders.
The technicians nod and push some buttons. Outside the big window, the engines light up and start to fire up. After a few seconds they die down and some data starts to stream onto the computer screens. The technicians and Janice seem satisfied with what they see.
"The tests are more than satisfactory. I'd say it's time to install them onto the lightspeed voyager." Janice says.
The men agree and salute her as she is leaving.
Place: Academy to train people to be special op agents.
The halls are almost empty as many people are still in class. Minutes later the buzzer rings and students flood out. Among the people are two men in there 20's. Joshua and Jake are their names. Joshua is in a wheelchair and has dark brown hair and brown eyes. He is about 5'8". Jake has short blond hair and is about 5'10".
"Was that class a snore or what?" Jake asks.
"Well I'd admit that the professor was a bit boring but it was interesting to hear about the new theory of lightspeed travel." Joshua responds.
Jake makes snoring noises then says; "Man sometimes I wonder why I hang out with you."
Jake slaps Joshua on the back playfully.
"Who else would you cheat off of?" Joshua says with a smile.
"Hey I do not cheat. I just look occasionally if I am stuck. People do it with games all the time." Jake says.
A very attractive girl walks down the corridor suddenly. Both Jake and Joshua can't help but to look and linger. The girl has long pretty blond hair. She has an almost perfect figure and walks just the right way to turn guys on.
"Just a sec bud. I've got to get to know this one." Jake says and takes off.
Joshua rolls his eyes up and waits. Meanwhile Jake catches up with the girl.
"Hey, you go here often?" Jake asks.
"Now that's an original line." The girl says.
"You must be new here. I haven't seen you before and I notice all the girls." Jake says.
"Yes I am new and I have no time to talk to guys like you right now." The girl says.
"How do you know what kind of guy I am? You just met me." Jake asks.
"I don't need to know you. You're first lines told me already." The girl responds then walks away.
Jake winces and walks back to Joshua.
"Crash and burn buddy." Joshua says laughing.
"Nah she's probably just in a bad mood." Jake says.
Meanwhile outside the base at the front gate...
The silence is broken by the loud sound of a motorcycle. A motorcycle pulls up to the front gate and the rider takes off the helmet. The rider is a young man barely past his teenagerhood. He has long black hair and dark complexion. He wears a leather jacket and I typical rebel like way.
"I.D. please." The front gate guard says.
"Oh come on. I've been here so much that you guys should know me by now." The guy says.
"Sorry but that's regulations." The guard responds.
The guy grumbles and pulls out his ID card from his jacket and shows them.
Another officer comes to the front gate. This guy has the rankings ofa commander. He sees the motorcycle riding guy and frowns.
"Mr. Smith, you've been warned that you can't take your motorcycle on the premises." The Commander says.
"What am I supposed to do with this then? I need to use this to get here and I need to put it somewhere." The guys respond.
"We have told you time and time again to put it in the main vehicle yard where everybody else puts their civilian vehicles." The Commander says angrily.
"Yeah right. Put a Harley Davidson out there? Do you how many people would love to get their hands on this." The guy responds.
"Discussion over. This vehicle is to never set foot on this base beyond the front gate again." The commander says. He turns towards the guards and says "If he tries to get past you with that thing then you can arrest him for insubordination."
The guy grumbles and rides his motorcycle over to the vehicle yard.
Time: A day later
Place: The academy again right before the big ceremony.
Jake is seen running down the corridor with Joshua wheeling as fast as he can behind.
"Come on. We don't want to be late for the ceremony." Jake says.
"Oh come on. What chance is there that either of us got chosen to be on the ship." Joshua asks.
"None if we aren't there to accept it." Jake says.
Jake runs into the leather-wearing guy.
"Hey where's the fire?" The guy asks.
"We're on our way to the ceremony to announce who will be on the lightspeed ship." Jake says out of breath.
"Big deal. I signed up only cause my family wanted me to. I also signed up to be among the people chosen on the ship cause my dad made me." The guy says.
"You're must really be a joy to be around. If you get chosen then I feel sorry for anybody that gets chosen with you." Joshua says.
A bell rings symbolizing the last call for the assembly.
"We better hurry." Jake says.
Jake runs off with Joshua rolling behind. The guy shrugs his shoulders and walks towards the hall. In the hall thousands of special op agents and students are seated. But they are far from quiet as the
anticipation rises. They all quiet down when the Commander walks to the podium.
The commander clears his throat and knocks on the microphone to see if it's on and to signal for complete silence.
"Welcome my fellow officers. This is a great time indeed of humanity. In two days a group of 6 people will go on a journey to the edge of our galaxy. A first for humanity." The commander says.
Off to his side a man coughs and clears his throat.
"Yes I'm sorry. I should say the first earth humans to do that. I will now progress with the naming of the people chosen to be the ships crew." The commander says.
A woman comes up with a sheet of printout and hands it to the
Commander. The crowd murmurs with anticipation and the commander has to tap the microphone again for silence.
"First is Jake Johnson. Second is Joshua Fraim." The commander says.
Jake looks back at Joshua with surprise and gives him an air high five.
"Next is Matt Smith." The commander says.
That startles the rebel guy, showing that he is Matt.
"Finally Janice Medvin and Cynthia Mann." The commander says. "Would the people listed please come up to the stage."
Jake and Joshua meet up at the stage and do a double take when they see the leather wearing guy they bumped into earlier up there too. Finally Cynthia and Janice come up. Jake does another double take when he sees the girl he tried to hit on. Joshua eyes Janice with interest.
"As you may know Janice is an advisor. She will be your superior officer for this mission." The commander says.
A woman next to the commander clears her throat.
"Oh yes. Now for the last but far from the least crew member." The commander says.
As he says it, a robed figure appears from the back entrance. As he is walking forward the audience turns their heads and murmur at the figure.
"Without his people this ship would not be possible in such short amount of time." The commander says.
More and more of the audience start looking and murmuring as the figure approaches the stage. The figure steps up and stands next to the commander.
"May I introduce..." The commander says as the figure throws back his hood, "Andros."
Slowly but surely a clapping applause begins in the audience.
"Now I would like to reintroduce the crew of the lightspeed voyager and introduce the group that will bring humanity to the next level of space travel." The commander says pointing to the 6 people.
The applause becomes a roar of noise.
Time: 2 days later
Place: at the launch pad
The ship sits on the launch pad preparing to launch into space. The 6 crew enter the ship and the ramp pulls back in.
"T minus 5 minutes to lift off." A voice says.
"I can't believe that I am finally going into space." Joshua says.
"T minus 4 minutes to lift off." A voice says.
"Big deal. It's just another place for human's to explore." Matt says.
"T minus 3 minutes to lift off." A voice says.
"Yeah maybe I will find some alien girls to get to know." Jake says laughing.
"T minus 2 minutes to lift off." A voice says.
"Yeah well forget about getting to know me. We are fellow officers now." Cynthia says.
"T minus 1 minute to lift off." A voice says.
"We have to get along if we are ever gonna be a crew." Janice says.
The ship takes off with a might blow of energy from the engines. In a short amount of time, the ship reaches escape velocity and reaches space.
"Wow. I've heard that the earth is beautiful from space but this is amazing." Joshua says.
"No time to enjoy it. We need to plot a lightspeed jump to the edge of the galaxy right now." Janice says.
"Okay go for it." Jake says.
"Computer. Plot the best course for a lightspeed jump for these coordinates." Janice says then enters in some coordinates into the computer.
"Acknowledged. Ready for jump." The computer says.
"Engage." Janice says.
The ship disappears in a flash of light. After a few hours it
reappears next to a shimmering wall of energy and light.
"What is that?" Jake asks.
"That must be what Auros told earth about. The galactic barrier put up millions of years ago. Our mission is to take scans of the barrier if the jump was successful. They warned not to get to close. Who knows what the energy will do to this ship." Janice responds.
Jake is making snoring noises, which annoys Janice.
"Computer bring us within 1000 meters of the barrier and begin scanning it." Janice says.
Hours later the scans reach their conclusion and they are ready to jump back home.
"Computer plot a course back to..." Janice says but is interrupted by a huge jolt.
"What the heck was that." Joshua asks.
"Warning, warning. The ship is being pulled into the barrier by some unknown force." The computer says.
"Damn. What is going on here? It was fine before." Janice says.
"Could our scans of triggered something?" Joshua asks.
"Maybe. The main thing right now is that we have 5 seconds before we hit the barrier and then who knows what will happen." Janice says.

"Compute reverse all engines. Convert as much power as you can to the engines." Janice screams.
4
"It's not enough." Joshua says.
3
"Computer bring up the shields at full strength. Will they be enough to protect the ship?" Janice screams.
2
"No. Insufficient energy to counteract the barriers power." The computer responds.

"Computer send out a message buoy. Put a message telling anybody that gets it what happened." Janice Screams.
"Message buoy sent. Warning, warning impact imin..."
