A/N: Time skip to 2013, and you get this chapter. This chapter introduces our villains and our Superman-esque origin story. I saw eqsue because Mirinoi doesn't get destroyed. Just conquered.
Now, before we start the new rangers' story, let's finish up the last team of rangers' story. Just for one last totally out of left field content mentioned in this story.
Spoilers for the unwritten ending to Universe.
13 Years Later...
Location: ?
Time: ?
Date: August 01, 2013
It's dark. The setting is a dim lit castle. A womanly figure approaches a throne. "Today's the day, Master." She says. "Yes. It is. Get everything prepared. This is the start of a new era."
Last time on Power Rangers...
Location: Benquill Square, FL
Time: 5:00 PM
Date: August 01, 2013
The square is in ruins. There is a big hole in the middle of the square. A group of teens gather around it. They are a big group. "What's arr this?" Link asks. "Who knows?" Casey asks. 2 Zordons float up. "Rangers." The first one says. "It is time."
Jason: Time for what?
Zordon 2: For balance to be restored.
Ed: How?
Zordon 2: Both Zordons of alternate universes must combine.
"The impact will be so big that all balance will be restored. We're not sure what will happen, but we predict that Bridge's brain will be brought back to normal-" The first Zordon continues the explanation before being interrupted by Bebe.
Bebe: If that's what you call normal.
"Both timelines will be brought back to normal. Your powers won't exist because the war never happened." Zordon 1 continues.
Zordon 2: As for my universe's rangers, your powers will cease to exist due to Zedd never finding the time crystal in the first place. That goes for both Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Next Generation and Power Rangers Universe. Alpha will return to his crate on Eltar.
"The Zeo Crystal will help restart the alternate universes. Once we combined none of our adventures would have happened, but all of you will remember them. All the rangers will. And Ed, Aden, Kent, Ben, Bebe, Miguel, and Dickie." Zordon 1 concludes.
Kent: HA! Sorry. Continue.
Zordon 2: There is nothing left for us to say except, goodbye.
"Goodbye. All of you. Link, Casey, John, Mikey, David, Danni, and Mark."
Zordon 2: Same goes for you. Mitch Sitka, TJ, Gail, Reed, Mario, Cindy, Miguel, Jason, Ed, Kent, Aden, Bebe, Ben, and even Dickie.
(Kent tries to hold in his laughter)
The two Zordons close their eyes, and combine their energies. There is a bright light. For a moment. There is nothing. Then there is something. The square is back to normal. No giant hole. Their morphers are gone. A dimensional wall opens up.
TJ: Well, guess it's time for us to go.
Reed: It was fun working with you guys.
"The feeling is mutual." Mikey fist bumps Reed. "I hope we meet again." Danni hugs TJ.
Mario: Who knows? Maybe we will, if we have the time.
Gail: Remember the power of purple, Danni.
Danni nods her head.
Cindy: I have a feeling that our journey will end soon, but we should make the best of it.
Aden: Our last chronicle in our journey will probably rip off something. I just know it.
Ben: Most likely.
Miguel: Come on, kid. I gotta get you back to the mental ward. Meet you guys there.
Dickie: Until we meet again, my beloved!
(Miguel and Dickie go through the dimensional wall first)
Bebe: I'm not your beloved!
(She stomps through. Kent chases after her, Ed and Cindy chase after him, and everyone else but Sitka follow suit)
Sitka: From one red to another, good luck with this normal life thing.
"You guys should try to live normal lives too." John holds his hand out.
(Sitka shakes John's hand)
Sitka: We tried to, many times. But weird things just keeps happening to us.
"I guess that's part of being a ranger."
Sitka: Guess so.
(He turns and enters the dimensional wall while waving goodbye. The wall disappears)
"Well, I guess that's it. No more powers, no monsters to fight. What next?" Mark asks. "We could go to California to see if the Zordons weren't lying." David suggests. "Pack your bags, guys." John smirks. They walk off into the sunset.
Location: Mirinoi High
Time: 2:00 PM
"And now, the first year of graduates in Mirinoi's first school ever, congratulations to all of you! It's been an honor heading this first school here. We'll start building more schools as time passes, but in the mean time, thank you for this wonderful school year. Keep up the good work!" The principal announces. The Vice Principal whispers something in the Principal's ear. "Oh, well it looks like we have leftover diplomas. 5 to be exact."
"Sorry!" A voice calls out. 5 people run in their graduation outfits. "Well, better late than never! Get your diplomas!"
"Joshua Carthowne!"
"Derek Tregol!"
"Malcolm Higa!"
"Malory Higa!"
"Lisa Zimmerman!"
"Congratulations Class of 2013!"
They all throw off their hats. "Mazel tov!" Derek shouts.
Half an hour later...
"How come you guys were late?" Mr. Tregol asks.
An hour earlier...
"Today's the day." Josh fixed his bowtie. "It's the start of a new era." Malcolm ties his shoes. "Okay, okay, okay! Ow!" Derek gets pushed in to the room by Lisa. "And don't come out until I say that we're ready!" "This type of stuff usually happens to you." Derek points out as he points at Malcolm. "Yeah. Stinks, doesn't it?" Malcolm pats Derek's back.
"We're ready!" Malory shouts. "Nope! Lisa said to come out when she say's that you're ready." Derek crosses his arms. "Just come out here!" Lisa shouts. The boys walk out to see the girls in their usual attire. Lisa with holes in her jeans, Converse, dark t-shirt, and shoulder length black hair. Malory with her glasses, preppy pink skirt, white t-shirt, and hoodie tied around her waist. She had not put her heels on yet.
"It's graduation. Shouldn't you be wearing nicer, more presentable clothes?" Josh asks. "Yeah, but they'd be covered by the graduation gowns. So we figured that this would be good." His twin answered. "That's a good idea." Josh says. "Excuse us."
Ten minutes later, they change into more casual clothes. "Great, we're late now because of you guys."
"Nothing big." Malcolm reassures Mr. Tregol. "Derek, I have a little graduation gift for you." Mr. Tregol motions Derek to follow him. Derek was playing with his little sister, Annie. He puts her down and goes to their dad. "What is it?" Mr. Tregol walks away and Derek follows. "We'll set up the stage." Josh yells. "You do that."
The Tregol men walked in a forest near the school. They found a ship. It was more of a ball than a ship though. "What is it?"
"It's a ship."
"Looks more like a ball than a ship, though."
"Well, it's one use only, so it would have a simple design. It's called the Space Traveler."
"Corny."
"Yes. It was developed on KO-35 by a colleague of mine. Using this, you can stay at Aunt Em's until you find yourself a new place."
"Do you mean?"
"Derek. You're going home."
"But this place is my home. But I am going back to Earth to make a new home."
"And now I know why you majored in English."
"When can I use it?"
"Anytime you want to head out."
"Then, I'll use it next week. That'll give me enough time for me to say my goodbyes."
"For now, you guys have to perform. Go on ahead."
Just then, screams from the party and a rumble from the ground caused the two to run back together. There were monstrous minions attacking the party. "Who are these guys?" Malcolm asks while using his bass as a weapon. "Why are you asking us?" Lisa retorts as she uses a cymbal from her drum set as a shield. Derek runs to protect the Principal from the minion. "Who are you?" He asks. "We are the Super Ultimate Alliance of Evil!" The minion shouts. "I don't think putting 'Super' in front of 'Ultimate Alliance of Evil' makes you any cooler." Malory quips. "Shut up! If I had more time, I'd explain the rankings, but we're busy trying to take over this planet." The minion shouts.
Derek's dad has fled the scene with only Josh noticing. Josh attempts to follow, but a monster blocks his path. "Not so fast, kid!" "Kid? I just graduated high school!" Josh turns his cap backwards. He finds his keyboard on the ground and starts whacking the monster with it. "Who are you, anyway?" Josh asks. "I am the Dragon monster of the SUAoE, Tromagador!" "Weird name."
"Go Galactic!" The Lost Galaxy Rangers join in the fray, fighting the minions as well. Kai helps Derek fight Tromagador. "Alright, explain the ranking system." Derek orders as Leo holds the minion back. "We the footsoldiers, or minions, are called the Snots." "Ew!" Leo shouts. "Why are all the minions lately called synonyms for boogers?" "Then, there's the Weeklies, the monsters created for the the alliance. Then, there's the big guys. The guys right before the bosses. They are called the Rents. Tromagador is one of them. And then there's the Bosses. They consist of the guys who weren't affected by Zordon's wave 15 years ago. I don't even know them well enough to know their names, but I do know the big boss's name." "Oh yeah? Who's that?" "Master Vile."
Malcolm, Malory, Lisa, and Josh are flung towards Derek and Leo, colliding with them. The Snot runs away. "Get to safety you guys." Leo orders. The teens nod and hide behind a bush.
The rest of the Galaxy Rangers join Kai. "They're a new Alliance. We're gonna need all the help we can get." "But you can't get the help, you see." Tromagador reveals. "Right now, the Bosses are occupying all the other planets with Rangers on them to keep those Rangers from helping. Gasket and Archenia on KO-35, Rygog and Porto on Aquitar, and Rito and Goldar on Triforia." "Looks like we're Mirinoi's only hope again." Kai says. "You may be Mirinoi's only hope, but what about Earth?" Tromagador asks. "What?" Leo asks. "Huh?" Kai asks. "Not Earth!" Maya shouts. "As I speak, the rest of the Bosses are on their way to Earth." "It'll be fine. They have their powers back." Damon reassures. "Well, I'm supposed to be on the ship now. The Rents are helping the Bosses with Earth. Later Rangers!" Tromagador teleports away. Maya senses something. "What is it, Maya?" Kendrix asks. "I can feel it. Mirinoi is crying." Maya distantly answers.
"Where did our parents go?" Malcolm asks. The rest realize this as the paragraph above goes on. They spend the rest of it listening to the revelations. Bored, Derek averts his head away from the revelations to see Annie being attacked by Snots. "Annie!" Derek runs to save her. Derek kicks away the Snots and grabs Annie. They hide behind the bush.
A holographic image is shown. "These are the Bosses who will take over this planet. Mama D and General Havoc." Tromagador explains. The Snots and various monsters surround the Galaxy Rangers. "We gotta fight guys. Derek! Get out of here!" Leo shouts. Derek nods. "Let's go you guys. To the ship."
As the Galaxy Rangers fight for Mirinoi, the recent graduates and Annie run to the Space Traveler. Snots are blocking the way in. "Looks like we gotta fight." Josh says. So, they do.
Malcolm dodges the Snots' kicks and branches. He jumps on a Snot's back, hangs on to a heavy object, and makes the Snot fall down. He promptly kicks it in the head.
Malory finds a branch and uses it as a sword. She is surrounded by Snots, but she whacks them in the head with the branch. She is then head-to-head with a Snot. She swings the branch upward, and the Snot falls backward.
Lisa is thrown on the ground. She looks up and trips them with her breakdancing skills. She downrocks the Snots and jumps up. She twirls in the air and her fists hit the Snots on the heads.
Josh roundhouse kicks a Snot in the "cheek." He elbows their stomachs and turns to a group. He bows and runs. He rams his head into them, and they fall like bowling pins.
Derek was having a harder time since he had Annie to protect. He had to block the Snots' fists with his body while he held Annie's hand. A branch is flung, and he ducks with Annie. "Don't let go." She says when they are crouched down. "I promise I won't." He promises. Another branch is in a Snot's hand and is about to strike Derek, but Malcolm threw rocks just in time. Lisa runs and jumps to use a flying kick to defeat the Snot.
"Let's get on." Derek orders. The doors open, and they begin to enter, but Annie remembers something. "Where's my bracelet?" "What do you mean? You're wearing it right now." Derek questions. "No, the one that you, mommy, and daddy made for my 5th birthday." "Oh, that one." He kneels. "Look, we can get you a new one once we're on Earth." "But it's the most important one!" "There's no time! We gotta get out now!" Josh shouts. Annie looks down. "I guess we can get a new bracelet." "Good, now come on." Derek and she start to walk, but the ground near them is shot at.
They let go of each other and fall to the ground just a few feet away from each other. She and he get up, but she is grabbed by Snots. "Let go of my little sister!" Derek shouts. "Oh, she's family?" A voice taunts. It was Tromagador holding a Quasar Launcher. "Take her, just like the rest of them." The Snot begins to walk backwards, and Derek tries to stop it but is flung into the ship by the Launcher. When the pain eased, he got up, but they were already starting to take off. Annie elbows the Snot and runs to the lifted ship. Derek holds out his hand, and she holds out hers. She jumps but is tackled by the Snot. "Annie!" He yells in slow motion agony and falls to his knees. She, on the other hand, can't say anything as the Snot is covering her mouth.
The door closes in front of him, and he quickly stands up. He bangs on the door shouting, "No! No!" Josh puts his hand on Derek's shoulder. "Come on! We need help in the main deck!" "But, Annie-" "We can talk about our problems later! Come on! We're under attack!" Derek snaps out of it for a bit and runs to the main deck. Is this ball bigger on the inside?
"Who's driving?" Derek asks. "I put it on autopilot." Josh answers. The two men sit down. "What do we do?" Lisa asks. "WE're being attacked by the SUAoE!" "Fight back!" Derek answers. "I don't know!" "We don't know the controls to the place! How are we supposed to fight back?!" The ship shakes, and a heavy book falls on Malcolm's head. He falls down with the book on his chest. "It's the manual!" Derek realizes. He grabs it and goes back to his seat. "Thanks." Malcolm coughs as he gets up.
Derek skips to the weapon system chapter. "Malory, the screen in front of you is a radar." "I know that. I'm not stupid." Malory quips. "How many enemy ships are there?" "About a 1000. Why do you ask?" "Right now, I'm the one with the weapons." He grabs the joysticks in front of him and starts firing. "Josh! You have the wheel. Steer the ship!" "On it, Cap!" Josh salutes, and faces the steering wheel. "What can we do?" Lisa and Malcolm ask. After a few seconds, Derek orders, "Malcolm, you read from the book while I fire. Lisa, give me moral support." "Moral support?!" "We're under attack; I can't think straight!" "You can do it!"
The ship spins in a circle, destroying the enemy ships. "That's 300 down!" Malory shouts. "It says that Lisa can get weapons, too!" Malcolm reads. "Really?" Lisa asks and stands. "But it can only be accessed when the ship is in battle mode." "How do we get into battle mode?" Malcolm quickly flips through pages. "Doesn't say." "Great." She sits back down. "That's 500 down. We're halfway finished!" Malory shouts. The ship shakes again. "We're almost out of the atmosphere! Let's stop!" Malcolm suggests. "Not yet. We have to do something to save Mirinoi right now. We have to rebel against the Alliance while we still have a chance!" Derek shouts. "He's right." Malory agrees. "Malcolm, buckle your seatbelt. It's gonna be a bumpy ride!" Josh shouts. Malcolm goes back to his seat and buckles up.
Josh steers the ship to spin again, but as it spins, Josh pushes a button next to the wheel. This button enables the ship to spin faster and faster and faster! Derek tries to keep hold of the joysticks, which he eventually does. After a few more seconds, the ship stops spinning, and everyone unfastens their seatbelts to barf. "Never. Do that. Again." Malcolm points, and then barfs more. "There's only 3 ships left." Malory pushes her glasses up. "Good enough, right?" Lisa asks. "We've already exited the atmosphere. I think the Galaxy Rangers can handle the rest." Derek heavily breathes. "So, where are we headed?" Josh asks pointing to the autopilot coordinate setter. "Metroville, CA. Earth."
Derek sits back down and feels something in his back pocket. "Why didn't I feel this before?" He stands up and takes out a bracelet. Annie's bracelet. He stares at it for a minute. The others glance over to see it. They are shocked. Derek plops down onto his seat, puts his hands(with the bracelet) on his eyes, and starts crying. "It'll be okay. Let's hope that she's fine." Lisa hugs Derek from behind. Josh pats his best buddy on the back. Malory looks down as she can feel Derek's pain. Malcolm looks at Malory and realizes how lucky he is that his sister is still with him. He goes back to the Table of Contents to study the ship.
And so, the Space Traveler journeys to Earth on autopilot while the inhabitants comfort each other.
A/N: Man, I kinda hate myself now. Making Derek go through all that. It just isn't his day.
