Power Rangers: Patronus Paladins

Prologue

Centuries ago…

Crimson clouds obscured the skies as black lightning cackled down ominously. The once majestic kingdom of Avalon was now a razing battlefield as monstrous gargoyles swarmed across the land, chasing after defenceless villagers.

A beam of silver light shot down from the sky and hit the ground in the midst of the gargoyles, creating a shockwave that threw them back and drawing all their attention, enabling the civilians to escape.

The dust settled to reveal six people, three men and three women in coloured robes.

"Enough!" Their leader in gold robes commanded, stepping forwards. She was Zanna of Eltar.

She had come to Earth, searching for her lost uncle, Earth's guardian with whom Eltar hasn't been able to communicate with for several centuries, instead she found a hidden magical community in the island of Avalon that was being attacked by Arcanon, a demon lord from the Nether Dimension. She joined Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, Salazar Slytherin, Merlin Emrys and Helga Hufflepuff in stopping the attack. They wielded strange elemental magic that mimicked that of the legendary warlocks of Sorcery 7. She joined their ranks, promising to aid them till they defeated evil and in turn, they vowed to aid her in finding her uncle. She shared the technology from the allied planets and the knowledge of the Morphin Grid with them while they taught her magic unlike anything she had known before. Together they had created a talisman which drew on the magic of the island and empowered it with grid energy… The Patronus Crystal, which transformed them into the Patronus Paladins, rangers of Avalon.

As they were surrounded by demons and wraiths, they looked at each other and slammed their staffs, each of which contained shards of the Patronus Crystal.

"It's Morphin Time!"

The Crystal empowered their magical spirit totems and granted them mastery over the elements.

Godric became the Red Lion Paladin, warrior of fire.

Rowena became the Blue Eagle Paladin, mistress of Air.

Helga became the Yellow Badger Paladin, emissary of the Earth.

Salazar became the Green Serpent Paladin, champion of the forest and all the animal spirits within it.

Merlin became the Silver Dragon Paladin, chosen by the water elements.

Zanna became the Gold Phoenix Paladin, herald of the stars.

They charged at the intruders, their staffs glowing with blazing light as they transformed into their patronus weapons.

"Patronus Sword!" Godric shouted, slashing at the nearby gargoyles. He struck the sword to the ground, letting lose a whirling tornado of fire that sucked in his opponents, incinerating them to dust.

"Patronus Bow!" Rowena called out, stringing her bow and letting loose a volley of arrows that cut through the wings of the flying gargoyles. She watched with grim satisfaction as they crashed to the ground and tumbled to dust.

"Patronus Hammer!" Helga yelled, pouncing on her opponents, swinging her hammer wildly, bashing the gargoyles to dust.

"Patronus Whip!" Salazar lashed out with his whip, which glowed with emerald energy, which entangled itself around a group of gargoyles, before throwing them towards the cliffs. He smiled underneath his helmet as they disintegrated in a small explosion.

"Patronus Shield!" Merlin commanded, throwing his shield like a boomerang as it sliced through several gargoyles.

"Patronus Lance!" Zanna shouted, charging at the remaining soldiers as her lance glowed with golden energy. She swung her lance in a wide arc and watched as a wave of gold energy burst out, taking out the gargoyles.

They gathered together in victory. The villagers looked up from their hiding positions and started to cheer their heroes, calling out their names and hailing them.

Zanna smiled. For now, the realm of Avalon was safe from the forces of Arcanon.

As the war against Arcanon continued, they were joined by allies from other planets as well as magic users from other magical communities on Earth like the Mystic Force Rangers from the Mystic Forest and the Mystic Knights from Tirnanog.

Eventually, Arcanon was forced to reveal himself and face the rangers himself. As their allies battled the legion of demons under Arcanon's armies, the rangers fought Arcanon himself.

It was a difficult battle and, in the end, victory came at a heavy price. They sacrificed their ranger powers to complete a spell that sealed Arcanon to the Nether Dimension for all eternity. Avalon was rendered uninhabitable as a result of the dark magic Arcanon used. The survivors were given refuge in the neighbouring kingdom of Camelot while some of them left for the magic realms like Tirnanog and the mystic forest.

The former paladins scoured the entire planet till they found Zanna's uncle's ship buried in a place that would eventually come to be known as Angel Grove. The ship was buried several feet underground, and while they didn't find Zordon, they found his companion and ally, Alpha 4, who told them about Zordon's fate- He was trapped in a time warp during the final battle with the dark witch Rita Repulsa.

With help from King Lexian and Lerigot of Liaria, Zanna created a plasma tube that enabled them to communicate with Zordon, who was trapped in a different dimension as well as build a Command Centre on Earth, from where they could monitor Earth on behalf of the Galactic Council.

Shortly after, the leader of the magical dimension, the mysterious Mystic Mother chose Zanna as her successor and she accepted.

Merlin returned to Camelot where there was a growing conflict between the trolls and the knights of his old friend, King Arthur.

Most of Avalon's sorcerers perished in the final battle against Arcanon, leaving no one who could pass on their knowledge to the next generation of magic users, children who escaped Avalon's destruction. Most turned to the mystic realm for guidance while others learned under Merlin's tutelage.

Godric, Rowena, Helga and Salazar created a school so as to preserve Avalon's legacy and rich knowledge of the magical arts their ancestors had cultivated over centuries. The school came to be known as Hogwarts, one of the best magic schools in the whole planet. It was located on the outskirts of what would eventually become Scotland as well as on top of a magical nexus, which in turn connected it to the mystic realm. The forest on the edge of Hogwarts, often called the Dark Forest by it's students was connected to the great forest of the Mystic Realm.

Due to Zanna's eltarian physiology, she outlived her teammates, who passed due to old age, except for Merlin who mysteriously disappeared during the final battle between Camelot and the trolls. She watched as Hogwarts flourished and became the centre of a magical society that lived in the shadows of the mundane world as well as the various teams of rangers who followed in their footsteps as Earth's defenders.

She lived through the Great War where she led the sorcerers of the mystic realm against the forces of the Underworld.

However, everything changed when Dark Spectre came to power. Not only had he amassed a massive army and captured several beings who represented the forces of light including Zordon, he had also released several ancient evil entities, including Lord Arcanon.

As Zanna felt the seal which isolated the Nether Dimension from rest of the universe shatter, she also felt something else. Six glowing crystal shards hovered in front of her. By breaking the seal, Dark Spectre had inadvertently recharged the patronus crystal.

Zanna smiled. It was time for a new generation of Patronus Paladins to take up the fight against evil.
