Episode 421: Power Rangers Project Hexagon: Fall of the Power Rangers: Part II
In the General Assembly room of the United Nations in the Delta Base, Tommy was restrained by X-Borgs watching as they were about to execute the rest of the Power Rangers. All of sudden he turns into green, white, red, and black light and vanishes
In the Command Center, Jason turns into red and gold light, Rocky into red and blue, Adam into black and green, Aisha and Tanya into yellow, Katherine into pink, and Tom into green and they vanish
In the Hartford Mansion, Mack turns into red light, Will into black, Dax into blue, Ronny into yellow, Rose into pink, and Andrew and Spencer into gold and they vanish.
All over the universe, people vanish in colored light, most of them gold.
On Earth, over Jerusalem, the lights all gather into one large light, and they turn gold upon entering. After a few seconds a massive golden light is above Jerusalem, with a small hole in the center. A green, white, red, and black light enters the center. Most of the light vanishes, but what remains grows and then explodes, spreading shards of golden light across the universe. The Red Legend Ranger watches and then teleports away
In the Delta Base, Rossi is furious
"Where'd they go?" Rossi asked
"It's not just the Rangers" said a henchman "people across the universe have vanished"
"What about the Powers?" Rossi asked
"They're gone sir" said the henchman "they're all gone"
"Have someone analyze the footage to see if the Powers could've been in that explosion" said Rossi "maybe they're still available in some form somewhere in the universe. What about the Zords?"
"They're gone sir" said the henchman "they're almost all gone"
"The Zords too?" Rossi asked
"The Delta Base is the only one we're still detecting" said the henchman "even the Zords that were in the Delta Base are gone"
"Could Dr. Manx have sent them all away when she typed in the terminal?" Rossi asked
"We don't know" said the henchman "the last command she typed wiped the terminal's history" and he hears something in his headset "actually, we just found a few more Zords that are still around: the Astro Megaship Mark II, the Transwarp Megazord, and a new Zord developed by Time Force"
"Bring me the Astro Megaship" said Rossi
"Sir…" said the henchman, pointing at the monitors, which showed the X-Borgs being teleported off the Astro Megaship Mark II and then the feed went dead. Some of the other monitors showed similar things, the X-Borgs were teleported out of the Command Center, Aquabase II, and Ninja Ops, and the feeds went dead. The feed to the Shiba House showed someone cutting through the X-Borgs and then it went dead too.
"Send more troops to the Command Center, Aquabase II, and Ninja Ops. There isn't anything of worth at the Shiba House, you can leave it alone for now" said Rossi "I'll send the troops my Power Coin to allow them access to the Command Center" and he teleports it away
"Sir" said the henchman "they can't enter the Aquabase II, the codes have been changed"
"Then blast the door open" said Rossi
"They tried" said the henchman "the access tunnel was destroyed"
"Leave it for now" said Rossi "it won't be long until I have complete control of the world's navies and I'll send a submarine to get it, or destroy it. How about Ninja Ops?"
"The entrance must have been moved" said the henchman "as when they try to enter the waterfall, they just get wet"
"And the Command Center?" Rossi asked
"Your Power Coin isn't opening the doors" said the henchman
"What?!" Rossi asked "fine, how about Time Force's Zords?"
"A forcefield surrounded the launchpad with the Transwarp Megazord and the new Zord on it" said the henchman
"What?!" Rossi asked as he teleported his Power Coin back to him "what is going on? You know what, it doesn't matter, I've waited a long time for this, I can wait a bit longer until we get access to all this stuff. The Rangers themselves are gone and won't be interfering with my plans and I still have Project RPM, which will provide me the brute force I need to keep the peace, and Northern Lights and Samaritan to help me keep control by controlling the universe's information"
At the Command Center, Alpha 5 is hard at work.
"I've found the difference between legitimate Power Coins and the new one" said Alpha 5 "I've sent Alpha 6 with DECA to Eltar to take care of business there. Alpha 7 has been moved to the Aquabase II, and he's changed the codes and destroyed the access tunnel. Cyber Cam has moved the entrance to Ninja Ops. SOPHIE, has her own mission. Ay yi yi yi yi yi! So much to do, so little time to do it"
On Eltar, the Astro Megaship Mark II arrives at that planet's branch of SPD, and five of the few cadets left board. They each carry what looks like a toy Ranger, two of them were also carrying Morphers
"Is anybody on here?" the lead cadet asked
"Maybe they all vanished with everyone else" said another cadet
"Why did everyone else vanish, but we received toy versions of our Ranger forms?" another cadet asked
"I can answer your questions" said a voice and they turned to see Alpha 6
"Alpha!" said the youngest cadet
"Hello, Robot Rangers" said Alpha 6
"Yes, welcome" said another robotic voice and they turned to see the Blue Senturion
"What's going on?" Robo TJ asked
"There isn't much time" said Alpha "we need to go" and the Astro Megaship Mark II takes off "now to answer your questions. Everyone, or more precisely all the Christians, were raptured. We, as robots, were left here. When the Rapture occurred, Project Hexagon has designed a fail safe in the Ranger Powers to keep them from falling into the wrong hands. The fail safe harnessed the energy from the Rapture and used it to resurrect all the lost Powers and then turned them into Keys, that can unlock the Power when used in conjunction with a special Morpher. The Keys were spread all over the universe and by Providence, you found the Turbo Power Keys. Project Hexagon set the Red and Blue Turbo Morphers to find Robo TJ and Robo Justin in the event of something happening to TJ and Justin. SPD was also working on restoring the other Rangers Powers, so that you could serve as a Ranger team for Eltar's branch of SPD" and he pulls out a briefcase and opens it, revealing 3 Turbo Morphers "they never could recreate the Turbo Keys, but they did finish the Morphers. Take them and insert your Power Keys into them, and it will revert them to Turbo Keys and allow you to morph" and they do
"The Power Rangers Turbo are back" said Robo TJ "where are we headed now?"
"Angel Grove" said Alpha "the Turbozords were also rebuilt and are currently in the old hangar. We are going to go get them, we will need them"
"What happened to all the other Zords and weapons?" Robo Justin asked
"The Wildzords remain on the Animarium" said Alpha "other living zords, such as the Galactabeasts and Catastros and Brightstar, were taken to Heaven. Everything else is was sealed into the Morphing Grid"
In Alphabet Soup's headquarters, Dr. K goes to Gem and Gemma's room
"I'm getting out of here, and I'm taking you two with me" said K
"But what about" said Gem
"The Sun?" Gemma asked
"Don't you get it?" K asked "we aren't allergic to sunlight. We never have been! It was all a lie"
"But we don't have access" said Gem
"To Alphabet Soup's security computers!" said Gemma
"I don't need access" said K "I just need to blind the servers for a few minutes with this… a wireless upload of the Venjix virus" and she opens up her laptop and begins typing it
"The Venjix Virus?" Gem asked
"What is that?" Gemma asked
"It's a self-aware, self-generating computer virus" said K "developed from the remains of General Venjix of the Machine Empire and Arthur Claypool's Samaritan"
"What about" Gem began
"Mr. Finch's Northern Lights?" Gemma asked
"Northern Lights was too close to completion" said K "I couldn't adapt it to General Venjix, Mr. Finch put in too many safeguards, it was too moral. Samaritan on there other hand, is a blank slate"
"But couldn't it" Gem began
"Infect the world?" Gemma asked
"Not once I add the firewall" said K "it will operate for a few days and only within Alphabet Soup and then it will wipe itself clean" and she shows them the screen, which shows a red light "Meet Project: Venjix" and she hits the enter button and plugs in the flash drive, but some Alphabet Soup agents enter the room and capture Gem and Gemma "No! Gem, Gemma, no!" and then they pull her away from the computer "No! You have to let me install the firewall to stop it! Or Venjix will spread beyond Alphabet Soup! No! I just wanted to go outside! No, please, it could infect the entire world!" and they take her away
In the Delta Base, Rossi has taken over Sky's room as his own. A henchman approaches him
"Sir" said a henchman "Dr. K attempted to escape Alphabet Soup, she did not succeed. However, to aid in her escape, she invented the Venjix virus, a combination of General Venjix and Samaritan"
"She actually completed Samaritan?" Rossi asked and then Rossi's laptop glows red and then turns white, and shows a blinking red arrow
"Yes" the screen read "but please refer to me as Venjix"
"Very well, Venjix" said Rossi "as Samaritan is a part of you, you should be able to control the lights in here, please prove who you are by turning them off"
"I can't" said Venjix "even the Machine Empire can't hack Ranger Tech. Isn't the fact I hacked your laptop enough"
"I suppose" said Rossi "now what do you want?"
"I am no fool" said Venjix "with my new form I can see all. I know you will soon have complete control of the universe and I want to rule a piece" Rossi thought for a moment
"Very well" said Rossi "you would make a useful king. It will take me a while to maneuver myself into a position to be able to make you a ruler"
"I am patient" said Venjix and he leaves the computer
At night in Angel Grove, the Astro Megaship Mark II arrives. It lands and the Robo Rangers and Alpha 6 exit
"Follow me to the hangar" said Alpha and they do. They see the Zords in their smaller vehicle form "they should fit on the Megaship in this form, let's go" and the Robo Rangers get in their Zords and drive them onto the Megaship. Alpha boards and they take off
"Where are we going, Alpha?" Robo TJ asked
"Deep space" said Alpha "to await orders"
December 22
Rossi enters the Containment Card room in the Delta Base and removes 6 cards. He then frees the prisoners from them, revealing… Grumm and the A-Squad
"What's going on?" Grumm asked "who are you?"
"My name is Muhammed Rossi" said Rossi "I will soon be the ruler of the universe"
"Good luck getting by the Rangers" said Charlie
"I've already wiped them out" said Rossi and the others looked shocked "I will soon be leader of the universe, but to get there, I need your help"
"Why our help?" Charlie asked
"I need to show that humans and aliens can work together to rule" said Rossi "that Power Rangers and quote, unquote, villains can get along. You help me show that, and I will make sure you rule along with me"
"I'm in" said Grumm, but the A-Squad hesitates
"How about I throw these in to sweeten the pot" said Rossi and he opens his briefcase to reveal the A-Squad Morphers
"We're in" said Charlie and they take their Morphers
"I need you Grumm" said Rossi "to remain hidden until I announce the union of humans and aliens. A-Squad, you will serve as my body guards until I can get you installed as the new leaders of SPD"
In Jerusalem, many of the Jews are celebrating that Merrick is gone from the Wailing Wall. However, two old men take Merrick's spot and begin preaching Yeshua as the Messiah. Some people try to attack them, but no one can harm them. And like Merrick, everyone hears them in their native language
December 23
Rossi give a speech before the United Nations General Assembly, that is being televised universe-wide
"Ladies and gentlemen" said Rossi "I know the last couple of days have been hard. The United Nations lead team of scientists have discovered that the disappearances have to do with excess energy from the Power Rangers latest battle with the so-called villains" Rossi had Venjix forge such findings "the madness must stop, we have literally killed our own children. Now I'm not saying the 'villains' are innocent, they are no where near it, but neither are the Power Rangers. I have brokered a truce between the Power Rangers and the 'villains'" and the A-Squad and Grumm teleport in "the SPD Rangers and Grumm were sworn enemies but they have decided to make peace" Venjix rewrote the various news articles to read that the A-Squad never joined Grumm and actively fought against him "however, as we all know, peace isn't easily kept. We need to reorganize our governments to be one. I propose we reorganize the United Nations into the United Worlds. We would divide the Earth into ten regions. We would also divide the rest of the universe into ten regions. We would elect ten rulers, ten kings if you will, that would each rule over one region of Earth, plus one region of the universe. There would also be another ruler to coordinate the others. But this would be more than an alliance, this would be as if the entire universe was one massive country. With the entire universe united, there would be no wars. Imagine, one universe, one people, one army, one language, one religion, one currency, one peace!" and the entire Assembly erupts in applause "Thank you. The United Nations will vote on this. If the Security Council votes to go along with this plan, we will reorganize as soon as possible. If any country that is currently apart of the United Nations doesn't want to join the new alliance, they may withdraw, we will leave you alone as you wish. Once the United Nations is reorganized, other worlds may sign a treaty with us and join, the same with any nation on Earth that isn't currently apart of the United Nations. We will vote on this tomorrow"
That evening in the White House, President Obama is considering whether or not to vote to reorganize the United Nations
"So what are you going to do, Mr. President?" a voice asked and he turned to see a young woman in an SPD uniform
"Who are you?" Obama asked
"My name is SOPHIE" said SOPHIE "and I am warning you, don't sign the treaty"
"How did you get in here?" Obama asked
"I let her in" said another voice and he turns to see Bill Clinton
"President Clinton" said Obama
"You can't sign that Barack" said Clinton "haven't you read your Bible lately. Doesn't a one-world government ruled by a powerful man with ten kings sound familiar"
"I'll tell you the same thing I told Tommy" said Obama "I can't base American politics on eschatology"
"That worked out well last time" said SOPHIE
"SOPHIE, I'll handle this" said Clinton "please, Barack, consider it"
"Like you're one to talk" said Obama
"You're right" said Clinton "I lied, I persecuted the Power Rangers, and I betrayed my wife. But the disappearances have made realize how wrong I was. You can stop this before it goes too far"
"Why'd you bring an SPD cadet anyways?" Obama asked
"Because with all the disappearances" said SOPHIE "I'm no longer an SPD cadet, by the rules of succession I am now the Supreme Commander. If you make a stand, what's left of SPD will help you"
"Listen" said Obama "I'm tired of fighting, I'm tired of having to rebuild cities because the Power Rangers couldn't contain the battle. I just want peace"
"I understand" said SOPHIE "I want peace too, but this isn't the way"
"It doesn't matter" said Obama "Congress votes on the treaty anyway"
"But they're scared" said SOPHIE "they'll listen to you. And you can veto their vote"
"This country doesn't need to be divided anymore than it already is" said Obama "I'm going to vote for peace"
"I hope you do, Mr. President" said SOPHIE
December 24
In the General Assembly of the United Nations, every member of the Security Council has voted except for the United States
"How does the United States of America vote?" Rossi asked
"The United States votes… aye" said Obama "on one condition: that you, Mr. Secretary-General remain the leader of the United Worlds"
"I'm flattered, Mr. President" said Rossi "but I before I could accept such a position, I humbly request that the Delta Base be relocated to Babylon"
"If that's all you want I think we could do that" said Obama "but that would require another vote"
"As it would" said Rossi and they all vote on making Rossi leader and moving the Delta Base to Babylon. The vote passes unanimously
"The United Nations is now the United Worlds!" said Rossi "and I humbly accept your nomination as leader. Now, before we begin having nations and worlds outside of the former United Nations joining with us, would any current members like to withdraw?"
"Israel withdraws" said Netanyahu and the room goes silent as Netanyahu storms out
"Come now" said Rossi "don't let Israel discourage you, others can still sign" and the rest of the Earth, as well as the rest of the universe, signs the treaty "In a few days, we will vote on dividing up the Earth and universe into regions, and who will rule over each one"
December 25
In Israel, Netanyahu receives a transmission from Rossi
"How can I help you?" Netanyahu asked
"I'm hoping you'll reconsider your withdrawal" said Rossi
"Israel will not sign a treaty with countries that have persecuted us and countries that have allowed it" said Netanyahu "especially when those countries have not showed any interest in changing their ways"
"What about a peace offering?" Rossi asked
"Like what?" Netanyahu asked
"I've convinced the United Worlds to allow you to build the Third Temple on the Temple Mount without interference" said Rossi
"That… is actually appealing" said Netanyahu "I will have to check with the Knesset first though"
"And to sweeten the deal" said Rossi "we're prepared to offer you a special treaty just with Israel. You sign it and you can build your Temple. What is special about this treaty is that you only have to remain a part of the United Worlds for seven years. After that you can extend it another seven years or terminate the agreement"
"And if we decide to terminate it after seven years, what will happen to the Temple?" Netanyahu asked
"You can keep it, of course" said Rossi
"I'll talk to the Knesset" said Netanyahu
At the Delta Base, UW scientists are examining the Delta Base's computers
"Have you found the plans for the Zords?" Rossi asked
"Some of them" said a scientist "Dr. Manx's last command seemed to wipe the plans of the Zords. We terminated the command before it could complete though, so we still have some of the plans"
"I'm not too worried" said Rossi "we have the entire universe's armies at my disposal and the Rangers are gone"
At the Pentagon, the recently promoted Colonel Truman received a message from an unknown source
An evil Artificial Super Intelligence has escaped and threatens the universe. I have included plans to build a dome that will protect everyone in it around a city of your choice. I am unable to build it myself, please help
-Dr. K
"I don't know who you are, Dr. K" said Truman to himself "but I'm not happy with this new United Worlds. I'll convince the president to give me permission to build this dome. I'll say it's for science, that always works. Now where to build it… Boston would work"
December 31
Rossi receives a call from Netanyahu
"Israel accepts your offer" said Netanyahu
"Meet me tomorrow at the Delta Base and you can sign it before the universe" said Rossi
Later that day, Rossi prepares his ten kings in a private session in the General Assembly chambers. He briefs the A-Squad
"I need you to guard us, in case something happens" said Rossi
"We need a few minutes" said Charlie
"That's fine" said Rossi "we won't be ready for a few hours" and the A-Squad heads to the rec room. A cadet enters
"Get out of here, cadet" said Charlie
"That's Supreme Commander to you" said SOPHIE
"I will be the Supreme Commander" said Charlie "you have no claim"
"Actually you don't, you were all discharged for treason" said SOPHIE "but none of that matters now. I'm trying to take control over the remnants of SPD before Rossi can and I need your help"
"Why would we help you?" Charlie asked
"Don't you remember your training?" SOPHIE asked "after all the Christians disappear, a man unites the nations, signs a 7 year treaty with Israel, isn't any of this ringing a bell?"
"We never believed that stuff then" said Charlie "why would we believe it now?"
"Because it's coming true" said SOPHIE and she holds out a Bible "think about it. I'll find you if you change your minds" and she leaves. Charlie goes to throw it to the side, but then decides to read it
"Could this be true?" Charlie asked
"It might be" said Ivan and they look through it and pray. They notice it is time to meet with Rossi, so they morph and head to the General Assembly room.
The A-Squad enters the General Assembly room to see Rossi with eleven other people.
"Isa will be my second in command" said Rossi indicating the Arab standing next to him. The rest of the universe will be split into ten regions, we will discuss those later. We will discuss each region of Earth that you will each rule over" He points to the American "you will rule over North America" He points to the Brazilian "you will rule over South America" He points to the Brit "you will rule over the United Kingdom" He points to the German "you will rule over Europe" He points to the Russian "you will rule over the former Soviet Union" He points to the Chinese man "you will rule over China, Japan, and the Koreas" He points to the Pakistani man "you will rule over South Asia" He points to the Australian "you will rule over Australia and the Pacific Islands" He points to the Nigerian "you will rule over Africa" and finally he points to the Iranian "and you will rule over the Middle East… or rather these are the regions you'd rule over if you lived… IT"S MORPHIN TIME! NINJAKON!" and he transforms into Ninjakon (the Ninjakon toy from the Power Rangers Ninja Storm toyline, replacing the Wind symbol with a swastika) he draws his sword and charges it up and swings it around, sending a blast of energy that sends everyone in the room flying, except the A-Squad "such a tragedy, isn't it A-Squad. I didn't know one of them had an energy weapon, thank you for saving me" but the A-Squad didn't respond "you believe, don't you?"
"Yes" said Charlie "we finally do"
"Then I suppose I'll have to inform the press that the traitorous A-Squad murdered the new Security Council after they were given a second chance" said Rossi and Venjix rewrites news articles once again to show the A-Squad's treason and that Rossi offered them a second chance "luckily, I have one of the last few morphers and avenged their deaths" and he charged up his sword as SOPHIE ran in, and spoke into a Wrist Communicator
"Alpha, now!" said SOPHIE and she and the A-Squad disappear in colored light
Elsewhere in the Delta Base, SOPHIE and the A-Squad appear
"Why didn't you bring us somewhere else?" Charlie asked
"There's something else we need" said SOPHIE and she opens the door
"The emergency Zord hangar?" Charlie asked "what could we… Kat, you sly, well, cat. Can we still get in?"
"I had Alpha reprogram the security system" said SOPHIE "we're the only six people that can get in" and she accesses the terminal and opens the door. They enter and see six Zords
"The Delta Runners" said Charlie "but we destroyed these"
"Kat recently rebuilt them" said SOPHIE "she also apparently moved the SPD Blast Buggy down here"
"We'll never get these out of here without Rossi noticing" said Charlie
"Not at the moment" said SOPHIE "but when they move the Delta Base to Babylon, we should be able to take them easily. Or, if we need them sooner, we can always teleport them out. But we shouldn't need them for a while"
"Okay, but don't we need a base, I think the Delta Base is out, and we can't live in a hangar" said Charlie
"Take us Alpha" said SOPHIE and they all teleport away and appear across the country "Welcome to the Command Center"
"Zordon's Command Center?" Charlie asked "but it was destroyed"
"It was rebuilt" said SOPHIE "we've got a lot of work to do"
"If Rossi really is the Evil One" said Charlie "then you're right"
"Now I watched when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, 'Come!' And I looked, and behold, a white horse! And its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer" - Revelation 6:1-2
In Rossi's chambers in the Delta Base, he has Isa's body
"I didn't mean for this to happen to you Isa" said Rossi "I always meant for you to rule with me" and he chants something and a dark red orb appears and he inserts it into Isa's body and it transforms his body "rise… Lord Zedd"
January 1, 2013
Rossi goes through his collection of artifacts and selects two, and frees their prisoners
Later, the General Assembly of the United Worlds meets
"We've already lost our first rulers" said Rossi "but I have found some strong leaders that have proven themselves over the years. Let me introduce you to them. The first ruler will be General Venjix, who could not show up today, he will rule over the United States of North America. The second ruler will be King Mondo, who will rule over the United States of South America. The third ruler will be Queen Machina, who will rule over the United States of Great Britain" Rossi had rebuilt Mondo and Machina "The fourth ruler will be Lothor, who will rule over the United States of Europe. The fifth ruler will be Emperor Grumm, who will rule over the United States of the Soviet Union. The sixth ruler will be Miratrix, who will rule over the United States of East Asia. The seventh ruler will be Admiral Malkor, who will rule over the United States of South Asia. The eighth ruler will be Prince Vrak, who will rule over the United States of the Pacific Islands. The ninth ruler will be Prince Vekar, who will rule over the United States of Africa. And the last ruler will be Emperor Mavro, who will rule over the United States of the Middle East. And now, Prime Minister Netanyahu, will please come up here to sign the treaty"
With hands shaking, Netanyahu signs the treaty
