I don't own Power Rangers. Rick, Rebecca, Louis, Zara, Alex, Joe and Jin were created by Jetman21, Thewhatzupwriter26, RushQuake, GoseiShinkenPink, decode9, TimmayIsAwesome and Gadget the Critic, respectively. Ted, Cronus and the Professor were created by me.

...

Ted sat in the chair opposite the Professor, speechless. He had been for the last five minutes, since the Professor's apparent confession.

"If you're me, tell me something only I know." Ted said "When I was six, my dog was diagnosed with cancer and had to be put down. What did I want to call the dog before my mom forbade me from doing so?"

"Batdog." The Professor replied "You wanted to call Bruce Batdog because, as a great dane, his ears resembled those on Batman's cowl. Bruce was the second choice because, well, Bruce Wayne."

"Oh my god..." Ted said, pausing "Isn't this the part where you ask why I'm not asking more questions?"

"The same reason I wouldn't in your position; you fight monsters on a regular basis, wearing a brightly coloured battle suit and using high tech weaponry." The Professor replied "That's without mentioning the literal giant robots..."

"Yeah, they're pretty awesome." Ted grinned, before composing himself "Why haven't you told any of us this before?"

"You heard the story." The Professor replied "Me and Rick were the only remaining team members, and that was because we took a dose of a rather nasty form of radiation. It rendered it too dangerous for us to morph."

"So Alex, Jin and Joe were also-" Ted began.

"Not Rangers." The Professor cut him off "In the original timeline, the Rev Max Power Rangers were a 5 person team. The silver Ranger was to be the sixth. I had Cronus create the Gold and Bronze Ranger powers based on schematics I gave him, and I created the Green Ranger powers shortly after your first battle with Cronus. I couldn't have him overpowering you all every time you faced him, or you'd start to question why he didn't destroy you."

"Good move." Ted said "That doesn't answer-"

Before Ted could finish talking, the alarm began blaring. He and the Professor both stood, walking through to the control room, Jin, Joe and Cronus having stood up, the beds they'd been on now retracted into the floor, whilst Alex worked the controls. A moment later, Rick, Rebecca, Zara and Louis joined them.

"We've got trouble downtown." Alex said "It's... That's weird."

"What is it?" Ted and Joe both said, glaring at each other as they did.

"It's Buzzers, and there's a lot of them." Alex said "But they're attacking the museum."

"Why would they do that?" Jin asked "The only remotely interesting thing going on there is a new exhibit on ancient cultures. They've got a staff rumoured to be a piece of a weapon called Spear of the Titans. According to legend, it was the spear used by Zeus to kill the titans in Greek mythology."

The other eight Rangers and the Professor all looked at him, surprised.

"I'm a history teacher." Jin said "Of course I know what's going on at the museum, it's half my job."

"I do history, I've never seen you teach it." Ted said, cocking an eyebrow."

"A. I'm new." Jin said, before narrowing his eyes "And B. You would have if you ever stayed awake in my class."

"Oh, you're that teacher." Ted said, shifting awkwardly "Sorry."

"Focus." Rick cut in "What's the plan, fearless leader?"

"Me, Rick, Rebecca, Zara and Louis will head down there. We can handle Buzzers." Ted said "Jin, you and Joe try to figure out why they'd go for the museum. Dad, you and Alex monitor things from here, and keep an eye out. This could be a diversion."

"Taking orders from my student." Jin rolled his eyes.

"Try taking them from your son." Cronus quipped, getting a glare in response "Maybe not..."

"You two can talk about it all you like. Just keep working while you do." Ted said, pulling his morpher as Rick, Rebecca, Zara and Louis all pulled theirs "Ready guys?"

"Ready!" The other four said, the five of them calling together "Rev Max, Power Up!"

...

The Five Rangers teleported into the museum. They looked around, their visors scanning the area. It was quiet. Too quiet.

"Where'd they go?" Louis asked as he slowly moved around "You guys seeing anything?"

"No sign here." Zara said in response "Becky?"

"Nothing." Rebecca said, before she saw something move in the corner of her eye "Hold on, I can see something over towards the weapon exhibit Jin mentioned."

"Rick, you and I will go in with her." Ted said "Louis, you and Zara wait out here, just in case."

"Got it." Louis said with a nod.

"Lead on." Rick said, gesturing to the doorway.

Ted, Rick and Rebecca slowly walked into the room. There were dozens, maybe even hundreds, of ancient weapons. In the centre case was a large, rusted staff. Beside the case were a large group of Buzzers.

"Found them." Ted said sardonically "Let's do this quickly, and watch where you're attacking. We don't want to destroy the exhibit."

The three Rangers began to fight the Buzzers. Rick ducked under a slash by the weapon one of them had, the weapon smashing a case to their left, causing an alarm to go off. As it did, shutters came down over the entrance.

"Damn it!" Rick said, coming up with an uppercut.

"I said not to break anything! Ted said as he pulled his Rev Defender and shifted it to sabre mode, slashing down a pair of Buzzers.

"Technically, you said don't destroy the exhibit." Rebecca said as her staff materialised in her hands, with her using it to take down a group of Buzzers.

As they finished taking the Buzzers down, the creatures teleported away. Ted put two fingers to his ear.

"Professor, I need the alarms in the museum reset." He said "All clear.

"Doing it now." Came the Professor's voice, the shutters coming up as the klaxon stopped blaring a moment later "Okay, I've transmitted something to the curator. I've told her we're borrowing the staff to run some tests on it, see why the Kaltax want it. Ted, if you want to grab that?"

"The lock's not even powered." Ted said, analysing the case the staff was in "It must've been shorted"

"Well then break the case." Rick said "If there's no power, it won't set off the alarm."

"I'll do it." Rebecca said, stepping forward "Since you two are just talking about it rather than doing it."

"No, I will." Ted said, stepping forward "I'm the team leader, so I'll do the criminal damage bit of this."

He held his sword out in front of him, before slashing the case. He reverted the weapon to blaster mode and put it back in the holster before grabbing the staff. As he did, red lightning erupted from it, causing Ted to scream out in pain before his morph collapsed, leaving him stood there holding the staff.

"What the hell?" He said "What was that?"

"Ted, are you alright?" Came Alex's voice "What happened?"

"No idea, I grabbed the staff and then it shocked me." Ted said "Bring us back in, you guys can run some tests."

The three Rangers were teleported away in streaks of light, returning to the Command Centre.

...

"I'm telling you, I feel fine!" Ted said as he sat on one of the scanning beds, Cronus running tests on him "Seriously, I get it, you feel bad for the whole missing sixteen years of my life, but you're taking the over protective Dad thing a little seriously!"

"Father's prerogative." Cronus replied "Everything looks normal on the you front. The Professor should be back with the remote morpher diagnostics in a few minutes."

"So, do we have time to talk?" Ted asked "The Professor told me all the stuff with you guys, including where he came from."

"Oh boy." Cronus said, sitting down beside Ted "Listen, I get it's a difficult pill to swallow, the whole time travel thing, but-"

"No, that was the easy bit." Ted said "Giant robots and all that, time travel's just another day at the office. If I worked in an office..."

Before Cronus could respond, there was an alarm siren. They moved through to the main command area, looking at the monitor. Alex was sat at the console, Jin and Joe looking over her shoulder. After a moment, the hologram appeared in the middle of the room, showing a group of Buzzers grown to gigantic proportions attacking the city.

"There's six of them..." Alex said, slightly worried "We've never dealt with that many before."

"Prep the Jet Rev and the Veloci Max." Ted said, pulling his morpher "Rev Max, Power Up!"

He quickly morphed. After a moment, he buckled over in pain, his suit phasing in and out of existence. Cronus quickly pulled his own morpher, hitting the control to morph before moving over to Alex's console, hitting a few buttons. After a second, his chest piece disappeared from him, leaving him in a silver version of Jin and Joe's suits, before the chest piece materialised on Ted's chest, his suit stopping it's phasing, leaving him stood there in the Red Ranger suit with the gold chest piece from the Chrono Ranger.

"There's a power instability in your morpher." Cronus said, looking up from the controls "That'll keep your powers stable, but we can't risk sending you to the field until we have a long term solution."

"In the meantime," Came the voice of the Professor from the door "I'm sending the rest of you, bar Cronus, out there. Jin, Joseph, I've got something for you."

He moved to the console, hitting a control changing the hologram to an image of the hangar. It moved along all the zords, until reaching a gold and black tank and a bronze and silver rocket.

"These combine with your existing zords to form the Battlemax Megazord." He said "Now all of you, go. Rick and the others are already en route to their zords to take the Veloci Max Megazord, Alex, take the Jet Rev."

"Got it." Alex said with a nod, standing up.

"Ready?" Jin asked as Alex and Joe formed up on his left and right respectively, the three of them calling "Rev Max, Power Up!"

The three of them morphed before teleporting out, leaving Ted, Cronus and the Professor.

"I've got a potential solution for your problem." The Professor said "In my timeline, we found the staff too, except both Rick and I were impacted. It eventually rendered us unable to morph. However, I spent years researching it. If we'd managed to find the entire spear, along with the crystal from Zara, or rather, it's remaining part, we might be able to restore your powers. Among other things."

"Other things?" Ted asked, smirking inside his helmet "Are these other things of the giant robot variety?"

"No." The Professor said simply, pressing a few controls bringing up a map of the world, a red dot showing in the UK and a red dot showing in the Arctic "I have the locations narrowed down to a few square kilometres each. Be careful looking in the Arctic, your suits will give you some protection, but not completely protect you from the cold."

"Okay." Cronus said "Guessing I'm going too?"

"You don't have a choice." The Professor said "If you and Ted get more than a few hundred miles apart, your shield will revert to you."

"Good thing I would've insisted then." Cronus said, stepping beside Ted "You ready, son?"

"Yeah." Ted said "Beam us out, Scotty."

The Professor shook his head, pressing a control as Ted and Cronus teleported out in streaks of red and silver light, respectively.

...

The Veloci Max and Jet Rev Megazords touched down on the ground. As they did, the rocket flew up high, the nose cone separating and rotating round and down, forming shoulder pads. As they did, the Dump Truck and Tank were both launched into the air, the back of the dump truck ejecting and forming a shield while the body elongated, a large, black hand coming out of the rear of it, the Tank ejecting it's turret, blades coming out of either side of the top, the barrel ejecting and connecting to the left shoulder, the remaining segment of the turret becoming an axe. The rest of the tank elongated, a black hand coming out of the rear of it. Both vehicles attached to the side of the rocket below the shoulder pads. As they did, the bottom half of the rocket split, the dune buggy also splitting in half, the wheels rotating underneath before the two halves connected to the rocket. As they did, the front of the Megazord's chest rotated, revealing a gold, bronze and silver chest piece, a silver head with wigs on either side of the head and embossed lips coming out of the top of the mech, it's eyes lighting up green.

"Battle Max Megazord!" Jin and Joe called as their mech landed "Power Up!"

"Okay guys, by the book." Rick said from his position in Ted's usual seat in the Veloci Max Megazord.

"We don't have a book." Came Alex's reply.

"Well, if we did, we probably would have already broke every rule in it." Joe quipped.

"Get it together guys!" Jin snapped.

"Yeah, stop being idiots." Louis said.

"Yay, drill sergeant Louis is back." Zara said, rolling her eyes in her helmet.

"Come on guys, let's just take a breath and get to it." Rebecca said, pressing the controls in front of her "We'll take the lead."

The Veloci Max began to advance on a pair of the Buzzers, slashing down with it's saw arm on one whilst firing on another with it's shoulder cannons. Meanwhile, the Jet Rev engaged in a battle with another Buzzer, whilst the Battle Max was surrounded.

"Okay, let's see what this new Megazord can do." Joe said, pressing the control in front of him "Firing cannon."

The cannon on the Battle max Megazord's shoulder fired, taking down one of the Buzzers. As it did, the Megazord spun, firing on another of the Buzzers. The final Buzzer stood there, shaking slightly in fear.

"Time to finish this!" Jin said, before he and Joe said "Battle Max Megazord Axe! Battle frenzy slash!"

The mech raised it's axe, before slashing down on the Buzzer, then bringing the axe back up and round in a circle across the Buzzer then slashing down the middle, the grunt exploding in a fire ball, the three mechs being left stood there.

"And that Rangers is how we Rev it up!" Rick said "Think Ted would mind if I kept running things when he gets back?"

...
