Forgotten Innocence

Interlinea, Power Within, bobtherandomguy, and Dragon Ranger

Chapter One

January 1, 2045

There were too many of them. Far too many of them. A hundred Power Rangers fighting at their peak of Power? Or nearly a hundred, anyways. No planet, no SPD could have stood against them for long. Especially when they believed what they did. They had been lied to, they fought against what they believed to be the enemy, but instead they were really fighting their allies and innocent people. Hundreds of bodies lined the streets. The slaughter was everywhere. There was no escaping it. Though they could not be sure of anything anymore, the Rangers still fought on bravely, doing what they thought (and hoped) to be right. There seemed to be no end in sight.

The SPD Rangers fell one by one. First to go was Zor Cranston, the Green Ranger, son of Billy Cranston the first Blue Ranger of Earth, and his Aquitian Wife Cestria. Like his namesake, Zordon of Eltar, he fought bravely to the end, killed by his own father, and gave his life to protect innocent children, from the rampaging Rangers of the Past...

The next to fell was the Red Ranger Jack Tate, the son of Sky Tate and Z Tate. He had died protecting his younger sister Sheria the Blue Ranger. He had been killed by the first Red Ranger, Jason Lee Scott.

These were soon followed by Lisa, the Nova ranger. Without her, the Last Battle of SPD of 2025 would not have been won, and now, in perhaps the Last Battle of all, she met her fate at last. She could only hope that Sam was safe...

Bang, the first male Pink Ranger in the history of the Galaxy, the pride and joy of his father, Boom, and his grandparents, was the fourth to go. He was slain by Kimberly Hart, and Katherine Hillard, the first two Pink Rangers. How sad and ironic for him, yet he died a true ranger, no matter what his color may have been.

Sam fought against Tommy Oliver (white) and Connor Mcknight. He had been upset when he had to watch Lisa fall in battle; he hadn't been able to see the one that had killed her, but he was going to make sure if he had to die, he was going to take one of them with him, but before he could finish one of the two off, he felt a sharp pain in his back. He looked down to see the blade of the White Ranger's sword in his stomach. Shortly thereafter, he fell forward dead.

Leslie of Yellow did follow; her skill in the way of the Praying Mantis was less than that of the one that took her life. Her body was broken, and yet she still fought, her body fell, and still she fought, her body crawled, and she fought on. She fought until her heart gave out from the adrenaline, her lungs burst, and her brain went dead. Every bone in her body was shattered, every organ, every muscle torn apart. Internal bleeding became external and bled through her suit. Her body was then trampled by the rampaging Rangers of the past.

Sheria watched as her teammates died one by one in front of her very eyes. She soon found herself surrounded by the rangers of the past. She fought bravely for what seemed like hours until she was knocked unconscious, by the Black Dino Thunder Ranger, and for a moment, she thought she heard him whisper something in her ear, but she couldn't be sure.

Commander Carson looked on in shock to see the horrors befalling the young heroes, done by the older ones. What had happened to change them? He couldn't be sure but for now he had to do something. He had to stop them from hurting his cadets, but he could not draw fire against his own allies.

They broke down the doors of SPD, killing every one in their path. Commander Carson realized that since he had not taken the fight to them, they had brought it to him. He silently begged the forgiveness of the late Commander Cruger, as he took down the Shadow Saber, left by him, as it was the best and only weapon in his reach. He and all SPD Employees fought that day, fought in vain. In vain they gave their lives to save the Earth. He too was brought down, and as he breathed his last, he watched in horror, as his beloved SPD burned to the ground around him.
