Episode 1: The New Omega, Part 1
Author's Notes: Hello! This story is basically the final written version of
an idea I had a LOONNGGG time ago- I did another fanfic here that was based
on it under my old name (Anorin Xikian), but used existing Ranger characters.
I didn't get very far because doing that didn't really work, so instead this
is my own PR season with all-new characters, powers, and zords. Hopefully you'll
like it, as the story is going to be very detailed, long, and span multiple
seasons. The first part is long with a very long prologue, so I hope you'll
give me some feedback so I can get started on the next part! In another words-
PLEASE REVIEW~!!! With that request out of the way, here's the story!
(Prologue) The place was a distant land- another dimension, in fact. The time
was eons ago, when our dimension was still very young and the Earth had not
yet been created. This dimension was the first dimension, and thus it was the
first one to have sentient life. Although the dimension held nothing more than
a single planet and a single star in its vast emptiness, this planet, known
only as Mirai, was as close to the human concept called "Heaven" as
anyone has ever known.
Many cultures existed peacefully together, respecting each other's own diversity. The land was filled with oceans, and forests, and cities of great beauty. The people of the planet were protected from an unstable, early universe thanks to their leader, a wise old man known only as the Light of Mirai, who used the planet's Mirai Crystal to protect it from the incredibly unstable universe they lived in. The planet was safe for many years.
And then, without warning, came the Omega.
No one knows just what the Omega was at the time. Sometimes it would simply appear as a ball of darkness. Other times it would take a human-looking form, as if it was a long robe that had no body beneath it. Perhaps the human concept of "Death" would be the best example of Omega's appearance. No matter what appearance the Omega took, however, it laid waste onto the land of Mirai, destroying cities and killing countless amounts of people. Any warrior who stepped up to fight the Omega was candidly defeated and killed, as the death toll began to rise steeply.
For nearly a week the Omega made a path of destruction through cities, killing countless people and leaving others wishing silently for it to come back and finish the job, without speaking a single word. Finally, when early on day 7 it reached the capital city of Mirai, known simply as the Holy City, it spoke.
"I am the Omega. I have come to this world with a single goal- to extinguish the Light of Mirai."
It spoke in a deep voice that seemed to be a mix of male and female, shocking those who heard it. And now, the dark ball of energy that sometimes took the form of a cape had a name- the Omega. This was the first time anyone had even known the name of their greatest enemy.
The Light of Mirai knew that he could not let anyone else die. He had to fight the Omega, and so he silently walked out into the courtyard of the Holy City's palace to face the unholy menace. He knew the only way to settle this would be one battle, the Light vs. the Dark, Good vs. Evil.
The battle came, and the Light of Mirai fought fiercely. He used all of the strength of the Mirai Crystal to battle the Omega, but in the end, he was defeated and destroyed. The Omega found it fitting at first to trap the Light's spirit inside the Mirai Crystal, now in possession of the Omega. The population of Mirai- well, what was left of it anyway- trembled in fear, knowing that the Omega now had complete control.
With its mission completed, the Omega underwent a strange transformation. It split into three separate forms- 40% of its overall power went into a newly created orb, known as the Omega Orb. The Orb began spreading its energies around the land, contaminating Mirai's citizens with dark powers to turn them to the side of evil. The people of the once-Holy City- now rechristened the Omega City- were effected the most and became the Omega's most loyal, and powerful servant.
30% of its energy went into the newly created Omega Lord being. Seemingly a very tall, bald pale white male wearing the Omega's cape, the Omega Lord possessed the Omega's ego and lust for power.
The remaining 30% went into the newly created Omega Queen being, the "wife" to the Omega Lord. A smaller, black woman also wearing the Omega's cape, the Omega Queen possessed the Omega's intelligence and sense of reason.
With the Omega Orb, Lord, and Queen created, they settled in this new Omega City as the ruling family. As any family needed, children were soon created by the Omega Orb. First, a son, the Omega Prince, a pale young man who resembled his father, besides having black hair and no cape. He was egotistical, arrogant, and filled with the desire for greater power- again, much like his father. Next, the Omega Princess, their daughter, was created. She, like her mother, was a smaller black teenager who was very reserved and quiet. She spoke to no one other than her mother, and was very loyal to her. Perhaps the two even shared a form of love.
Their children would need a bride and groom, respectively, so the Omega Lord and Queen began searching the land of the Omega City for its most powerful male and female. First, Vocaru, a man who probably best resembled an Asian, as Earth calls them, was chosen to be the Omega Princess' groom. Vocaru took an immediate liking to the Omega Princess, but she remained loyal only to her mother.
Mayri was chosen soon after as the Omega Prince's bride-to-be. A young, dark-haired and pale skinned woman, she stood out from the rest by wearing a strange combination of white and black. Apparently, she was once one of the most loyal followers to the Light of Mirai, and still possessed some of those "goody-goody" qualities, while at the same time enjoying torturing other residents of the city as a hobby! She was a constant paradox, and that seemed to turn the Omega Prince off a bit, who was having an affair on the side- with the tall, blonde-haired Saria, a lovely, manipulative woman. The relationship began as simply sex, but the two soon began having a more deep, emotional attachment to each other- all while keeping it secret from Mayri and the Omega Lord and Queen.
Meanwhile, tensions were mounting between the Omega Lord and Omega Queen, as the Lord wanted the Queen's power for himself. Knowing he would have to make a move on her soon, the Omega Lord wanted another child, so the Omega Lord decided to do something devilishly evil- he took the spirit of the Light of Mirai and trapped it within his newest child- the shy, reserved Lorden, a medium-sized young man with light-colored hair. The Omega Lord knew that trapping the Light's spirit within an evil being would be as close to Hell as he could get for the Light of Mirai, and reveled in the punishment. However, he didn't count on the Light's spirit effecting the already-strange (for an evildoer) Lorden, who would soon find a new role as the leader of a growing underground resistance.
But then, one day nearly 80 years after the Omega first showed up (all of these beings were immortal), everything changed for good. Just as Lorden was preparing to lead his resistance into battle against the ruling Omega Family, time and space itself froze in the small dimension. Before anyone could do anything, small portals began opening all over the Omega City. Lorden, the Omega Lord, the Omega Queen, the Mirai Crystal, the Omega Princess, and Vocaru were all sent to Light Dimensions, where they would be eternally frozen in time, unable to commit any harm against the universe.
However, the Omega Prince, Saria, Mayri, and the Omega Orb were sent to the one and only Neutral Dimension- the one that Earth calls home. While the Orb was sent somewhere unknown in the Dimension, the three beings sent here would have their bodies turned to dust. Their spirits, however, would live on, and many centuries later they would be reborn anew inside three normal humans, where they could do no damage, and only silently scream from within their new homes.
(Present Time- April 14th, 2004) "There's a time for everything, and it's
called college."
David Canden knew this better than most freshmen, having already experienced a laundry list of drugs in only his first year! The 5'9, blue-eyed and brown-haired boy came from an average part of suburbia in the small, uneventful state known as New Jersey. Here, at UCLA in California, he was seemingly out of his element, but luckily he managed to bring one thing with him from home.
Carrie Hannigan, a young 5'7 Irish girl from the same little part of suburbia as David, shared everything with him. They were friends from a young age, and ended up sharing their first date, first kiss, and first....time, together. Even after breaking up mid-way through Junior year, they remained close friends, and came to UCLA with different interests, as the creative and artistic David was an English major while the highly intelligent Carrie was a computer science major.
The two shared an apartment off the campus, and were walking towards the bus stop on that Wednesday morning.
As they walked past early-morning joggers, Carrie hung onto David's right arm and raised her other one into the air, before doing a little twirl. David looked at her and couldn't help but laugh.
"I see we're in a good mood today." he said.
She nodded and smiled.
"You know, just because you're a writer doesn't mean you have to have a scowl on your face all the time." the cheery Carrie replied. "Try smiling a little more often, 'kay?"
David rolled his eyes and gave a sarcastic smile.
"Well, that's a start." Carrie giggled as the two of them made their way towards the bus stop.
Meanwhile, far above David and Carrie in outer space, a gigantic, silver space
station sat hovering above the blue atmosphere of Earth, as if it was looking
down on the world in general. A gigantic "S" was on the center of
the ship, a blue "S" inside a very large red circle.
Deep inside the station, an aging, 53-year old Japanese man stepped into the center of a small, darkened room. He had graying brown hair, thick brown glasses, and brown eyes while sporting a white lab coat, and he was the man in charge of this towering presence. His name was Dr. Tomino.
Suddenly, light beamed into the room from nearly twenty TVs in front of Dr. Tomino. Each lit up with a reprehensive from many countries around the world- the President of the United States, the Prime Minister from the UK, Japan, Canada, and many other countries. Tomino greeted them with a slight bow to the side.
"Greetings, world leaders." Dr. Tomino said. "As you can see, the Supreme Station is fully functional and online in every capacity. This will be a very suitable base for my taskforce. Now, for those of you who have newly joined my many list of funders, I will go over the reasons why the Supreme Taskforce was created in the first place."
Dr. Tomino turned around, grabbing a small remote control, and moved to the left. Behind him, a projection screen lit up.....with the faces of Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd?!?
"For many years, our great planet has been under harassment by alien invaders." said Dr. Tomino as he flicked the screen to show the Machine Empire. "No matter what form they have come in, they have come from outer space and caused great damage and many casualties. Although the assault has always been primarily targeted on the United States, any country is at risk from the growing alien menace."
Tomino flicked with his remote to have the projector show the other aliens who have attacked the Earth- Divatox, Astronema, and Lothor, among others. Then, he flicked one more to show the original Power Ranger team, and began flicking through each time as he continued to speak.
"Since these alien invaders have shown up, we have also had beings known as Power Rangers. They have come in many different forms, but seemingly their mission has always been the same- protect the Earth. And yet, sometimes these Rangers have ended up on the wrong side."
Dr. Tomino showed the original Green Ranger, the Titanium Ranger, and the Thunder Rangers to illustrate his point.
"My question to you is, how much longer can we put our faith in these human civilians to protect the Earth from the alien menace? What if the powers fall into the wrong hands, like they did in these examples, and there are no other Rangers around to stop them? This is why the Supreme Taskforce has been created- an international organization whose goal is to eliminate any and all aliens who set foot onto this planet. The Earth must remain inhabited only by those who were created and born here- God cannot and will not allow the aliens to take control, and we will not allow them to either! Any aliens will be immediately terminated!"
"But Dr. Tomino, why do you require more funding now?" the US President questioned. "After all, you already have a complete working space station and an entire army, and there is no alien threat in sight!"
Dr. Tomino smiled to himself as he thought of his new robotic army- the Supreme Warriors, built from crude renderings of the Machine Empire's Cogs, and looking similar to them except for the addition of silver armor and sometimes silver swords.
"Is there no alien threat in sight?" Tomino questioned them. "See for yourselves."
Once again, he moved out of the way of the projection screen and hit another button on his remote, and suddenly it was the live picture of a huge black spacecraft nearing the Earth!
The black ship looked very similar to the Astro and Delta Megaships used by the Space Rangers long ago. On closer inspection, it was actually a black-and-blue ship, thanks to blue markings all over it, shaped very much alike to the Astro Megaship. Rather than an M on it, however, this ship had an O.
As Tomino flicked the screen off and turned back to his funders with a confident smirk, he found them in utter shock.
"What are you doing to stop this unknown menace?!?" one of the government agents exclaimed.
"Unfortunately, the Supreme Fighters are not yet completed, so we cannot engage the alien ship itself." Tomino replied. "However, we have tracked their trajectory and speed and figured out a rough landing estimate, and thanks to teleportation technology I have developed the Supreme Warriors will be ready to deal with the aliens wherever and whenever they land their ship."
"And if those tin cans fail?!?"
"They won't." Tomino snapped. "But if we're talking hypothetically, then I do have a new prototype to engage the alien menace."
"See that you do!" another government official exclaimed, as the pictures all went black at once, leaving Tomino in the darkened room once again.
Those stupid bastards suspect nothing. Tomino thought to himself. Oh, I will deal with the alien menace alright. Thanks to your kind generosity, I will deal with them with brutal force!
As she flung her long black hair backwards and messed with the controls of the
Omegaship, she was trying desperately to locate her reason for coming to Earth.
She was approaching the blue planet quickly, after all, and needed to locate
his exact location in order to land there.
"Ah-ha!" she exclaimed. "There is the human with my Prince's spirit!"
She set the ship's course for the vast park of the UCLA campus.
Meanwhile, David and Carrie were enjoying the walk through the park, both with
plenty of time before class- as usual, thanks to Carrie's careful planning and
early-morning wake-ups.
"You know, just one Wednesday morning I'd like to sleep later than 6:30." David yawned. "It's not like chemistry's important to me or anything."
"Yes, I can see that by the papers you fling onto the table." Carrie giggled.
"So what are you, my mother?" David jokingly asked her. "Do you trade tormenting tips with her via phone?"
"Is that last one a joke or do you really believe that?"
"A little bit of both, actually." David smiled.
Suddenly, their playful chat was interrupted by what seemed to be a loud boom. It was, in fact, as both looked above them.....to see the Omegaship flying downwards at an incredible speed!
"What the HELL is THAT?" David exclaimed.
"Whatever it is, run!" Carrie replied.
The two set off to get as far away from the ship's massive shadow as possible. Of course, they were never in any real danger- the woman piloting the ship was an expert pilot and would never crush David after searching for him for so long- but that knowledge wasn't shared by David and Carrie, and it probably wouldn't have been much to console them at the time anyway.
The duo finally stopped running when they heard the loud crash of the ship's landing, which promptly caused them to fall over. They turned around in time to be staring the black wall of the ship in the face, as suddenly a door opened and a rampway was created.
Out of the ship came a tall (5'10) woman in black shoes, tiny black shorts, and a red top that exposed her mid-riff. The pale young woman ran her fingers through her long black hair before staring down at David and Carrie. She rolled her eyes.
"Get up." she shot at them. "That's no position for you to be in."
After a brief moment, she let out her hand.
David had no idea why, but something inside of him told him that he should take her hand. He grabbed it as the young woman pulled him to his feet.
"Th-thanks." David managed to stutter out, still having no idea why he was seemingly drawn to this woman who had just stepped out of a spacecraft.
"Don't mention it." she replied. "Now, I need you to come with me."
That snapped David back to reality just as she began to pull on his hand.
"What? Come with you? I don't even known who you are!" David exclaimed as he pulled his hand back.
"I'm Saria. Now you know. Now come on." she replied as she reached for his hand again.
"No! Get away from me!" David said, pulling his hand away and turning around.
Saria gritted her teeth in anger. All this time to find the person with her beloved Omega Prince's spirit inside of him, just as her spirit had been inside this body, and she could not get him to come with her!
"I swear, if you don't come with me I'll take my pistol out and blast you straight out of this fu-"
But suddenly, Saria was interrupted from her swear word by a whole gang (about 10) of Supreme Warriors teleporting in front of her. Half of them raised their silver swords, while the other half raised silver blasters.
"Looks like this isn't the quiet little planet I was made to believe." Saria said sarcastically as the 10 robotic SWs charged at her.
To Be Continued....
Next Episode: The New Omega, Part 2
Faced with the fierce gang of Supreme Warriors, Saria is forced to reveal her newest power, morphing into the Red Omega Ranger! However, when Dr. Tomino launches his most advanced robotic creation, can Saria stand a chance alone, or will she have to recruit help to survive her trip to Earth? And will she complete her goal for coming to Earth in the first place?
