The Empire Strikes Back-Setting 3 years after CtoD (Sept. 12, 2001)
Berlin 1942-Adolf Hitler and Cos Palpatine meet to discuss spreading the Nazi cause.
A German soldier walked into Hitler's office. "Heil Hitler."
"Heil Hitler."
"Senator Cos Palpatine of Naboo." Palpatine entered.
"It seems we have much to discuss."
"The Jedi much like your Jews. A religion that has gone on for centuries. It is time for them to go. As for the Republic, it is full of squabbling senators and bureaucrats who seem to enjoy pushing the Jedi along. The chancellor is willing to send Jedi to deal with disputes between planets. A Grand Army of the Republic could easily solve this problem, however a change of leadership is needed."
"I see."
"Perhaps if I could change the minds of some of the senators, I could take over leadership and dispose of the Jedi."
"Round them up and send them to Auschwitz."
"I had a better idea. Use them as slaves in the spice mines of the planet Kessel. However there is a problem on the planet Eltar that needs to be disposed of first."
"What problem?"
"A wizard named Zordon has foreseen what I will do in the future. Zordon is luckily for us trapped in a tube."
"I will send the SS to Eltar and remove him." Hitler turned to the officer next to him. "General Erwin Rommel meet Senator Cos Palpatine. The senator shares the same ideas as us. I want the SS sent to Eltar to remove the one called Zordon." He turned back to Palpatine. "You may stay in Berlin until your propaganda is printed. Heil Hitler." Palpatine stood to leave, "Heil Hitler."
Present Day
"R2-D2, I insist that you return at once." R2 beeped a response at C-3PO. "I don't care about that data."
"I do." 3PO turned to find Marc sitting there watching the Hitler-Palpatine meeting in Berlin. "Interesting, it seems Palpatine also wanted to destroy Zordon, but why did he wait so long before trying to do it." BJ walked on to the bridge. "Marc we need to talk about a certain someone." He turned to 3PO. "What are you doing here?"
"I was looking for R2. It seems the Empire knew about Zordon all along."
"Well, out and take R2 with you."
"As you wish, Sir." BJ turned to Marc.
"I know what you're going to say."
"Good, then end it with her."
"Why? Because she played you. She played the Empire too. Cassie told me all about the bounty hunters. Houston even hired Boba Fett to find her, not to forget Gary Winston still has his people looking for her."
"The Empire has nothing to do with it. It's I don't want to see you all upset because she played you to get back at me for telling Hicks that she was one of Houston's spies."
"She won't be leaving anytime soon. I told her about the Nazi-Empire relation."
"What's she going to do? Hide you from Houston's troops?"
"You'll see. If you need me you know where to find me."
"Piett? Piett?"
"Yes, Sir?"
"How many monsters are ready?"
"General Veers said we have 4 monsters ready."
"Send them to Earth with full Stormtrooper backup."
"Lisa, why are you at my doorstep?"
"I need a place to stay."
"BJ wants us to go our own ways. He's convinced you work for Houston."
"Fine, he can ask Kyp about me." A monster appeared and tackled Marc. Marc got to his feet and morphed. "Want me. Come get me." The monster charged as two stormtroopers grabbed Lisa's arms.
"What's going on?"
"Numerous monsters and Stormtroopers have appeared in the city."
"Let's go. Marc can fend for himself."
"Marc." Marc turned to find Darkonda flying towards him. He grabbed his lightsaber and switched it on. Darkonda tried to avoid it and kicked the monster instead. The monster pulled out a sword and lunged at Marc. Marc turned as Darkonda lunged at him also. Darkonda, the monster and the stormtroopers turned at the sound of another lightsaber. Kyp Durrun was standing in the street.
"Looks like you need some help."
"Big time." Lisa kicked the two troopers and began tackling more troopers as Marc and Kyp went for Darkonda and the monster. "You take that one. I have a score to settle with Darkonda." Marc clashed lightsaber to sword as Kyp sent Darkonda reeling.
"Captain is that gun ready yet."
"Not yet Sir. We're having trouble setting it to the monster's DNA structure."
"Send some TIEs to keep them busy."
Cassie and BJ had another monster fleeing for cover.
"Don't come back."
"That's one down, who knows how many to go." Marc came over the communicator.
"Make that two more here."
"Two? Where's Kyp?"
"With me and Lisa. Houston tried to kidnap her using these monsters to divide us up."
"Looks like we've got TIE Fighters coming." BJ turned to find several TIEs flying toward him. They used the Force to propel the fighters into the East River.
Jen found another monster and a group of stormtroopers hitting stores along Madison Avenue.
"Stop right there."
"Make us." The stormtroopers began firing knowing the fates of troopers that had dared to tangle with her. Jen was lucky that BJ had wired her bike into the morphing grid as part of the Yellow Ranger's arsenal. The monster was also aware that Darkonda was the reason she was a Ranger to begin with. The monster had thrown Jen through a window as several stormtroopers grabbed and held her for the monster to take strikes at with its sword. At that moment BJ, Cassie, Marc, and Kyp showed up and began tackling troopers. Jen kicked out of the troopers' grasp and ran at the monster. The monster fell to the ground under the combined lightsabers and Jen delivered the final strike.
"That makes four counting Darkonda."
"One more to go."
"I'll deal with the business owners."
"Thanks Kyp. We'll deal with the last one."
"Be careful. Some of them had stormtroopers with them."
"We will."
"I get the tough one, why?" The last monster had Steve in a headlock with stormtroopers taking shots at him. A shot rang out of nowhere sending a trooper flying backwards. Steve grabbed the monster and introduced it to the Astro Axe. The monster went backwards injured as the shooter made herself known.
"Tina."
"Steve."
"What are you doing here."
"I followed Nick here."
"Where is he?"
"Chasing some troopers." The monster rose to his feet.
"Go help Nick." She left as the other rangers appeared.
"Nick and Tina chased his three squads away."
"You okay?"
"Yes, Stormtroopers are lousy shots."
"Let's finish this."
"I'm so scared."
On the Knight Hammer. "Captain, report."
"Gun's ready, sir. We're waiting for the order."
"Fire and don't hit the Rangers."
"Yes, sir."
"Come and get me."
"Gladly."
"Cassie, that's what Houston wants." Cassie lunged at the monster as a turbolaser came out of the sky hitting both Cassie and the monster. The monster grew as Cassie was thrown back by the blast.
"Call Hicks."
"This is our job."
"I said call Hicks." BJ ran to Cassie's side.
"I tried."
"Not your fault, intelligence is lacking in more ways than one." Marc ran up to them.
"She's hurt really bad."
"Not as bad as Houston and her troops when I get my hands on them."
"That's the darkside talking."
"Make yourself useful and shut up."
"I won't make it." Cassie looked into BJ's eyes for the last time as a group of X-Wings appeared and then she was gone. The communicator went off.
"Rangers this is Halo 1. We'll take it from here."
"Thanks." He turned to Marc. "Let's get out of here."
"Wait." Several footsteps and blaster shots were heard as Tina and Nick came running toward them.
"That's the end of those troops."
"We're all here? Good, let's move."
"One more down, sir"
"Good."
"What's next, Sir?"
"Getting rid of Khayman and his group of followers."
"Karone? Karone?"
"No one here but us." Rito and Goldar charged Zhane who fled from them. Zhane ran into a group of bushes and watched them run by. He moved right into an officer and a group of Stormtroopers.
"You must be the Silver Ranger. I am Grand Moff Winston, you are my prisoner. Stormtroopers."
"I know about you. You did this."
"A pity that I beat my colleague Houston to the home of the former Princess of Evil. However, I am sure that she would rather have the Silver Power Ranger. Alice, get any useful information from him." The red-headed officer grabbed Zhane and pulled him by the hair with the troopers following. She pushed Zhane into a chair and told the troopers to strap him down.
"You know things were going perfectly until Houston showed up."
"What does this have to do with me?"
"Khayman, he set things right. I had that Republic Snitch in jail until he found out the truth. How foolish of her to think I wouldn't see her for what she really was. She thought Gary was the problem now she's dealing with Houston."
"You'll get yours in the end."
"Oh no. I happened to have heard that your Pink Ranger was just killed in action against Houston."
"There are others."
"It wouldn't surprise me that he'd give her a morpher."
"He wants nothing to do with her."
"Well, now he does have a problem."
"You have the problem."
"Who said that."
"Me." Zhane was shocked. Karone had survived the attack.
"Get her and make sure she doesn't live." Zhane had broken out of the straps holding him down and grabbed Alice by the hair and threw her to Karone.
"You want to switch?"
"Of course." Karone set to work on Alice while Zhane ran after the troopers. Rito and Goldar just stared at the chase before realizing that their prisoner was escaping. Karone was pushing Alice into the dirt making it hard to get a shot off at Karone. Alice rebounded pushing Karone against a tree but Karone kicked out sending the blaster flying. Alice reached for the blaster but Karone blocked her move and threw the blaster out of reach. Alice was defenseless against Karone until she spotted Rito and Goldar. They came up to Karone who spotted what she was looking for among the bushes as Goldar ran after her. Karone grabbed the Pink Quasar Saber and held it in a fighting stance at the three. Alice grabbed the blaster and began firing at Karone who used the saber to deflect the blasts onto Rito and Goldar. Karone then grabbed Alice and threw her into the ground. "Don't you know a Princess of Evil always wins against an Imperial Idiot." She then ran to help Zhane with Rito and Goldar now chasing her.
"I'm worried about BJ he just sits there lost."
"He'll get over it. If not, Jason gave me the number for the PD shrink."
"I told Van Buren to give him some time off. He won't take it but he'll need it."
"But what to do if Houston attacks again?"
"I know."
"So who do we have?"
"He'd never give it to me."
"Tina?"
"What now? It is not my fault that C-3PO fell on his butt."
"I wasn't talking to you."
"Then why did I hear my name?"
"I was talking to Marc." BJ rose to his feet.
"It seems we have a problem with who should replace Cassie. I am not one for catfights so who can we give the morpher to?"
"You won't give it to me."
"There's a reason you brought these two here?"
"Of course there is, Cassie is dead and Zhane is not coming back anytime soon." C-3PO came up to Tina followed by R2-D2.
"Mistress Tina, I am not a maid or a butler. I insist that you clean up your mess." R2 beeped something.
"Well, of course that was different. I was a household droid." R2 beeped again. "What do you mean this is the same. R2-D2 I swear that your circuts have malfunctioned." R2 beeped again. "Don't you call me a mindless philospher you nearsighted scrap pile."
"Shut up 3PO."
"Where were we?"
"Giving out morphers."
"That's right, 3PO was complaining again."
"Stevie, your lost here. 3PO is being annoying."
"Yes he is lost. I have no other choice in this matter."
"What's going on here?"
"Steven, your girl and Nick are now rangers." BJ handed them the morphers.
"Better tell Houston we're at full again."
"What's full?"
"One ranger per Star Destroyer."
"So under that theory, we'd need about 25 rangers."
"Where does that come from?"
"The Knight Hammer itself is worth 20 Imperial-Class ships. They measure in Imperial-Class ships although there is a fleet of Victory-Class ships running around."
"Which fleet is that?"
"The NURV Fleet. Gary Winston's wrecking balls."
"Sir, we have a report that the Former Princess of Evil is still alive. Grand Moff Winston reports she beat up his second in command and fled with the former Silver Ranger."
"Move the fleet to a spot near a shipping lane in neutral territory."
"Yes, Sir."
"Piett, don't forget to make it count."
"Yes, Sir." It was beginning.
BJ- Why is a fleet if Star Destroyers heading for a shipping lane?
