Notes: Here's the next installment my peeps, thanks for the reviews! Oh yeah, RedGenesisRanger, you will see how the VR Troopers work into the fic, and it'll be great! R/R!- Xtreme Slayer
"Power Rangers!" Kristina questioned to her father.
"Virtual Reality!" Ramel also questioned but with enthusiasm and wide eyes.
"Okay, let's just back up and check the side and rear view mirrors for a second. What in the world are you talking about dad?" Shawn asked his father with a blank expression on his face. Dr. O just looked at his son and replied, "It's simple Shawn, you have all been selected to defend the Earth from a new threat that has entered our midst."
"Might I add Tommy, that this threat is one of the most powerful and abysmal forces I have ever encountered." Zordon spoke to all as Dr. O finished his little sentence.
"But where did Zordon come from? I always remembered you and mom talking about him saying that he was a father figure to you all at one point in your lives. But you also said he died, and did not say anything about a floaty head." Trish asked Jason as he stared back into his daughter's hazel eyes. "I can't really explain it to you Trish, but Zordon himself could shed some light on it." Jason told his daughter as they looked at the head for answers.
"I was brought back to life through the new technology passed on by Dr. Oliver here. You see my spirit was not transcended into the afterlife, so I was left stranded in time and space. I sent a message to Tommy to come and free me when the time was right, and he did so through this supercomputer. Where you are standing right now teenagers, is the same place where generations of former Power Rangers stood, including you're parents. This is the Power Chamber." Zordon told in great detail as he smiled at his three former heroes.
"So Dr. O, Mrs. O and Jason were once Power Rangers?" Cory questioned, Zordon nodded his head yes. Kristina was the one to start to bust out laughing, and Kimberly looked toward her daughter.
"And what's so funny about that honey?" Kimberly asked her still giggling daughter. "It's just… I can't see you fighting monsters and such mom. You are so Mrs. Homemaker and Mommy." Kristina laughed. Kimberly headed for her daughter with swiftness and gave her a sharp kick to the abdomen crashing her into the floor. Kimberly then laughed and helped her daughter up.
"Damn mom! I was just playing with you!" Kristina said with anger and mixed emotions as she just brushed off the assault on her midsection by her mother. "Just to let you know, I am not a pushover! Some of the most gruesome monsters came my way and I held my own. Isn't that right guys?" Kimberly asked Tommy and Jason who each agreed with her. Shawn however was getting a little teed off.
"Now that all the pleasantries are out of the way, Zordon can you tell us what this new threat is exactly?" Shawn questioned with anxiousness in his voice. "Not a problem, Shawn. Please all turn to the viewing screen." Zordon instructed as the five teens as well as the three ex-Rangers watched the images of Vilord and his monsters appear on the screen.
"This is the monstrous entity known as Vilord. Through extensive research, we have concluded that Vilord is the brother of long-destroyed monster named Grimlord who nearly took apart Cross World City, if it weren't for the efforts of the VR Troopers; a trio of warriors who used virtual reality to defeat him. Vilord now wants revenge for his brother's destruction and wants control of a talisman called the Core. The Core is a powerful item that when used could give the weaver ultimate power. Luckily, I have found the Core and Tommy and myself have used it to create five devices that will give you the power and technology to access virtual reality. You see, virtual reality is so powerful and extreme, you can get a new gateway of power." Zordon told them all in great detail. As he did, continuous images of Vilord, Tylox, Zero, his monster kingdom, and computer specs shown on the screen.
"But we did get help on this, by someone who used virtual reality. He is a very intelligent man, known as Ryan Steel, son of virtual reality innovator, Tyler Steel." Dr. Oliver explained. As he did this Cory shrugged and looked.
"I should've known. All those years of Ryan tinkering with that of technology and such." Cory said thinking back. Dr. O just looked at Cory and asked "What are you talking about Cory?"
"Ryan Steel is my father. Not my biological father though, he adopted me after he realized I was homeless. We left Cross World City when I was very young and he raised me here in Angel Grove. I never knew nor did he tell me he knew you, Dr. O. Wow, it's a small world." Cory explained to the group.
"So where is Ryan Steel now? His assistance could be greatly needed if we have to wield virtual reality powers." Ramel asked as he looked around the different faces.
"After I moved out, Ryan said he was going on a long vacation traveling around the world. Last time he called in, he told me was in Russia." Cory had backtracked.
"It's okay though. We have all the information we need." Dr. O said to the teens. Suddenly, an earsplitting alarm went off and the teens looked around for the source but seen blinking lights. "God how I don't miss that sound." Kimberly said covering her ears. "I'll say." Jason agreed doing the same as her.
"It's just as I feared. Xero, Vilord's right-hand demonic samurai is rampaging through the business district of Angel Grove. However, Vilord's newest monster Knightmare is still wreaking havoc in Cross World City. You must act quickly teenagers, but I'm begging you on behalf of the world. As long as there have been evil there has been Power Rangers there to protect and serve. From Ninjas, to Zeo, to Lightspeed Rescue, to Wild Force, Time Force, and even those in Space, the Rangers have been there for the good of mankind. Please, assist us in this dire time and become the next generation, the Virtual Force Rangers." Zordon pleaded with the five chosen ones. Looking from each other to their three grown ex-Rangers.
"Being a Ranger guys is the most important honor or accolade you could ever achieve. Trust me; I regret not a single part of it." Jason told them. "It's power and drive to defeat evil and I know you guys can do it." Kimberly assured them. "And believe that you will succeed. It's your choice." Tommy finally told them. Finally answering, Shawn as well as the other teens took nervous smiles and glances, but Shawn said "We'll do it!"
Magically appearing to them were golden gadgets that were mixed with silver and in the center was different colored parts of the Core that each Ranger had; Shawn had the silver Core; Kristina had the pink Core; Ramel had the blue Core; Trish had the yellow Core; and Cory had the green Core.
"Those are VR Transmorphers, by activating them when the time is right, you'll become the Virtual Force Power Rangers and will be able to access new gateways of strength through Virtual Reality. Just say let's virtualize, and you will be ready. Good luck guys." Tommy told them; he hugged his children as did Kimberly and Jason.
"May the power protect you my Rangers!" Zordon called out. Shawn looked to him and said "We'll make you proud Zordon!" Shawn looked at his other teammates and they grasped their VR Transmorphers.
"Time to Virtualize!" the teens called out as they clicked their VR Transmorphers and began to morph.
"Silver Virtual Force Ranger Power!" Shawn said as he morphed into the Silver Virtual Force Power Ranger.
"Pink Virtual Force Ranger Power!" Kristina said as she morphed into the Pink Virtual Force Power Ranger.
"Yellow Virtual Force Ranger Power!" Trish said as she morphed into the Yellow Virtual Force Power Ranger.
"Blue Virtual Force Ranger Power!" Ramel said as he morphed into the Blue Virtual Force Power Ranger.
"Green Virtual Force Ranger Power!" Cory said as he morphed into the Green Virtual Force Power Ranger.
Around the big buildings and business district of Angel Grove, it was midday and the maniacal Xero along with numerous Armorines began to crowd around and vandalize with their madness.
"Let's trash this place, in the name of Vilord!" Xero exclaimed as he and the Armorines began to cause destruction. They were suddenly stopped when they saw five shadows above them on an expansive terrace.
"Who the hell are you five!" Xero yelled out angrily gripping his katana. Each of the five had on multicolored costumes with helmets and holsters.
"Were the Power Rangers Virtual Force, and were here to stop you Xero!" the Silver Virtual Force Ranger told them as they each got into fighting poses.
"Well come down here, and I'll rip you all apart!" Xero yelled back.
"As you wish!" the Blue Virtual Force Ranger spoke up to the monster. And with that, the Virtual Force Power Rangers flipped toward Xero and the Armorines direction and prepared for their first battle.
NOTES: Hope you guys enjoyed this installment! And to all those wondering, the Power Rangers Virtual Force look similar to that of those in Five Star Sentai Dairanger. But instead of having Red Dairanger, I made him silver.- Xtreme Slayer
