Quick Disclaimer! I don't own the Power Rangers I'm just writing about them! Honestly I don't really like some of the Power Ranger ideas like Operation Overdrive, Samurai, or Mystic Force. So far those have been the worst. Anyways I do own the Red Ranger Oc in thie story, also I own Nightmare and this story concept. Anyways let's get onwards with the first chapter!

The New Red Ranger! Part 1

"The Solar Eclipse is coming forth." A deep voice muttered.

"Yes, with the Solar Eclipse and the final alighnment of the Planets we can then finally see Master Nightmare be freed." A female voice said pleased as a shadowed figure was holding a small silver urn with black writing all over it, "Now we can rule the world!"

"I don't see why we couldn't have done it without him. That's what he would've wanted."

"Don't be so ready to jump without him. You know you would've been destroyed with ease."

"Oh really? I'm ready to prove you wrong." The man informed.

"Oh really?" The feminie voice asked, "You're just a normal Boogeyman that turned into an Admiral. You are nothing special, you were just given tis power out of pity of Nightmare. Your power should've been given to me." The female demanded.

"Hmph, well let's find out! I'm going down to Earth and I'm going to cause so much chaos you'll be surprised at my power! In the name of Master Nightmare I will ready his arrival!" With that the figure had left.

San Diego, California...

"Set...Hike!" A young teen's voice boomed out through out a football stadium on a Friday night. Quickly a ball was snapped to him, and he caught it. He took a few steps back getting ready to throw, he then ducked down low and ran to his left while handing the ball to the person next to him. The person who held the ball ran as fast as he could. He dodged a big football player trying to cut block him by jumping over him. He looked back and forth with his chocolate brown eyes trying to avoid contact with anyone. He quickly stopped his feet and spun out of another tackle. He ran onwards as he felt the cold wind brush up against his slightly light brown skin, he did not stop for any reason at all. His cletes dug into the grass hard as he was fueled by the loud cheering of excitement from the crowd in the stands.

Finally he saw it! The End Zone was about to be his best friend if he made this. Nothing could stop him now. He looked back to see someone coming up from behind, while somebody else was coming up from the sides. The person from behind began going into full stride. Quickly the teen with the ball ran faster, though the person from the side kept up. He lunged himself to try and get the tackle only to get smacked by the teen. The teen put the brakes on and drove his shoulder into the players chest, he then kept on running without hesitation. Within a few yards he made the End Zone and the touchdown.

"TOUCHDOWN!" The announcer yelled in excitement at what had just happened, "NUMBER TWENTY-FIVE CHASE JOHNSON WITH THE TOUCHDOWN! THE ARCHLAND WOLVES HAVE JUST WON THE PLAY-OFFS!" Once more the crowd exploded with cheers. Chase dropped the ball and unstrapped his helmet in celebration of another touchdown. He took it off and revealed his black curly hair that was brushed back because of his helmet. His teammates ran up to him and they celebrated as a group. Suddenly a large explosion of fire erupted from in the middle of the street across from the football stadium.

"Hahaha! You humans are so weak!" A voice called out as another explosion went off coming closer to the football stadium.

"What the.."

"Run!" Yelled a random fan as the explosions continued to get closer. Multiple explosions went off.

"Hahaha! That's right! Run ya weaklings! My name is Carnage! Tremble at the feet of Carnage!" From afar Chase looked on to see a monster. It was very weird looking. Though he did not fear it, he simply watched in a lifeless gaze. The monster that had called itself Carnage had four arms. Two of them under it's original arms were more like whips, it's whole body looked corroded with lava like veins flowing from it.

"Who are you?" Chase asked as Carnage walked up to him.

"I am Carange! Did you not here?" He asked, "Stupid humans and your hearing problems!"

"You are ugly man..." He muttered observing Carnage.

"Hey you humans aren't too good looking either!" Carnage snapped.

"I'll admit that we have a few people here and there, but we don't look like you."

"I don't have to take this! Lava Whip!" One of Carnage's whip like arms swung at Chase, who ducked unable to move much because of his football pads.

"Ha!" Carnage then tried to whip Chase again, this time he connected causing Chase to go flying back.

"Ahh!" He hit the ground hard and just looked up at Carnage.

"Haha! Not so tough now huh! Maybe you're all talk!"

"Naw, just need to take this pads off." Chase quickly took off his football jersey and shoulder pads revealing his well built body of a seventeen year old.

"Now you're skinny!"

"I've always been like this."

"So wait? That was armor? You took off armor to fight me! Humans must be stupid as well as ugly!" Carnage yelled as he whipped Chase. Chase was hit and was sent flying across the field.

"Ahh!"

"Down already?" Carnage asked.

"Man, I'm just getting warm." Carnage released another whip of lava. Chase ducked then jumped up and kicked Carnage in the face again. He then punched him across the face, barrel rolled and kicked him once more.

"Gah! You humans annoy me!" Carnage yelled.

"Oh shut up!" Chaseyelled as he jumped up and kicked Carnage down.

"Ahh!" Carnage fell on his back and looked up at the sky to see that the Solar Eclipse above head, "Seems like it's already too late." Carnage stood up and got ready to fight once more.

"Man what is up with you? I don't know why you're here, but it won't matter once I kick your butt!"

"Time to reveal my true form! Ha!" Carnage released himself from his lava like armor and out in a red and black flesh zombie like skin Carnage stood with yellow piercing claws, with a metal visor and a black screen on the visor.

"Man...do you just keep getting uglier?" Chase asked.

"Ha!" Carnage vanished and slashed Chase knocking him down onto the ground.

"Ahh!" Chase held his stomach in pain.

"Hahaha! With Master Nightmare here I can take over this whole city!" Carnage yelled excitedly, "I need to finish you off!" Carnage jumped in the air and prepared to stab Chase with his long claws.

"Well...guess I gotta step it up then!" Chase struggled to stand, but before he could he was slashed down, "Guah!"

"Well seems like I'm done." Carnage smiled at the chaos he had caused.

"Man...you really annoy." Chase said as he looked at Carnage.

"You still breath! That's it you make me grow tiresome! Lava Blade!" Carnage created a large lava like sword and pointed downwards at Chase, "Die!"

"I don't think so!" Out of nowhere a person in white like armor blocked Carnage's attack.

"What the? Who are you!" Carnage demaned to know.

"Me? I'm just your everyday Sage Ranger!"

"Sage Ranger? He's a Power Ranger?" Chase muttered to himself. In front of him a man who stood about his height. He was wearing all white. He had a sleeveless cape like jacket on that flowed out, he had on black boots that were trimmed with gold, black gloves trimmed in gold, he had on a red belt, and on his waist was a white sheath for his sword which he was holding in his hand.

"Sage Ranger? Never heard of ya! Oh well, not like it'll matter! Master Nightmare will handle ya!" Carnage leaped up and thrusted his blade forwards. The Sage Ranger vanished from place then appeared behind Carnage.

"What the!"

"Sage Saber Slash!" A white glow of energy was being emmited from the Ranger's sword as he slashed Carnage in half.

"Gahh!"

"Looks like you're time is up." The Sage Ranger then placed his sword backinto his sheath, "Are you okay?" He asked helping Chase up.

"Umm...yeah." Chase responded.

"Good, you might want to get out of here. I have a feeling that someone even stronger is coming along." The Ranger informed.

"Run away? Hmph, you thought man. I'm helping you out."

"You're just a civilian." The Ranger informed, "Plus your lucky you lasted as long as you did against him."

"Whatever, I'm helping you."

"You'll get hurt."

"Don't care." Chase informed.

"Hmmm...you're a stubborn one." The Ranger scoffed.

"Yeah well..."

"I'm the White Sage Ranger."

"That means the others are close by?" Chase asked.

"Ummm...yeah sure."

"Alright then, let's go."

Meanwhile...

"Hmph, seems like you failed Carnage." The female shadow figured scoffed, "Lucky Master Nightmare. Now he won't have to worry about your ugly face." With that said she walked over to a window where the Solar Eclipse was beaming down perfectly in a single spot. There she placed the urn and opened it up. She then began to read the words that were written on the urn.

"Where there is peace there is fear of of that being ruined.
Sealed ago by the Six Sage's long ago, I call upon you
As the day they sealed you away will also be the day of your awakening as well
Release all fears and worst dreams and make them reality! Return to life All of Creation's Nightmare!"

With that a black smoke escaped from the urn and slowly escaped outside the whole tower that she used as a base,"Yes..." She hissed watching the smoke fly out towards the Solar Eclipse. Soon enough the smoke seemed like it had touched the moon. It all gathered around in one area, then down it turned into fire as it struck down fast like lightning.

Back at the Football Stadium...

"What was that?" Chase asked.

"Nightmare..." Sage replied.

"Who?"

"Hahahaha! Is that you White Sage?" A deep demonic voice asked.

"Stay back, this guy is going to be too powerful." Sage informed as he readied his blade, "Sage Saber Slash!" Sage's sword glowed white once more as he rushed at the crater in the football field.

"Stay back Sage!" The voice demanded with that Sage was sent flying backwards.

"What was that?" Chase asked Sage.

"Nightmare...you need to run now!" Sage yelled, then all of a sudden he was being dragged back to the crater.

"What's going on!" Chase demanded to know.

"Hahaha!" Sage was then lifted into the air. Up from the crater an all black fiend like monster jumped up with skeleton like armor, with no face, his body was like flesh, he wore a green cape, he had red eyes, with a crown of his own horns, on his back were multiple tentacles and spikes. He kicked Sage in the chest and sent him flying.

"Ahh!"

"Hahaha! Now that I'm free I can release my army and take out the Power Rangers!" The fiend looked over at Chase, "A human? Hmmm...first human first slave!" The fiend began to walk over to Chase.

"Stay away...from him." Sage demanded.

"You are not the one giving orders." The fiend somehow picked up Sage without touching him and punched him in the chest driving him into the ground, "Now bow to your new king!"

"Ha!" As the fiend turned around Chase ran up and threw a wild punch at him.

"Fool..." the fiend ducked and snapped a finger sending Chase flying high into the sky, "Now White Sage, I'm going to keep him up there until you tell me where the others are."

"Grrr..."

"Hmmm...ooohh now I remeber! Nevermind!" The fiend smiled, "I think I'll just take your powers then."

"No..Nightmare!" Sage yelled as he could watch the fiend, known as Nightmare, placed his hand into his chest.

"Guahh!" Sage cried out in pain as he felt his energy being drained from him. As Nightmare pulled his hand out of Sage's chest he was forced to demorph back into himself. He seemed around like he was in his mid-twenties. He had short black hair, with fair skin, brown eyes. He was wearing a blue denim jacket ontop of a black t-shirt, with some jean pants, and some black sneakers.

"Hahaha! It's mine now!" Nightmare laughed as he was being surged with white energy, "No more Sage Rangers. I now hold the powers of all the Power Rangers! You have nothing left!" Nightmare then lowered Chase down from the sky and dropped him.

"Uhhh..."

"Lowely human, come back to me when you're ready to be my first slave." Nightmare informed, "I have an army to resseruct." As Nightmare walked away he knew that if he was facing two Rangers he would've lost. He needed a temporary host to contain his power enable to gain more strength.

"Hey...Sage...Sage.." Chase muttered. He pushed himself up and helped Sage up, "Let's get you to a hospital."

"No...I can't go." Sage informed.

"Why not?"

"I have to stop Nightmare!"

"But he just like...took your powers."

"I know...I need to get them back." He insisted.

"How? You're not a Ranger anymore."

"I'm always a Ranger!" Sage snapped back.

"Calm down." Chase informed.

"You're right...huh.." The former Sage ranger let out a sigh then spoke once more.

"My name is Cyrus by the way." The man introduced.

"Well you already know my name." The two shook hands, "So who was that guy?"

"That...was Nightmare."

"Who?"

"Chase...I'm going to need your help." Cyrus informed.

"Sure what you need?" Chase replied.

"I need you...to be a Power Ranger."

Next Time: Cyrus takes Chase back to his base of operations and explains what happened with Nightmare. He tells him that Nightmare has captured all the other sources of power that Power Rangers have used for years, except for one that no one expected.
