Happy New Year, treasured Readers! I hope 2020 is off to a good start to all of you!

With that; read, review and enjoy!

Prologue to Part 2

Zordon and Alpha were not the only ones who had access to the Morphing Grid.

No, as it turns out, there were and or are quite a few people with access to 'The Great Power'. Like Zordon, most did not advertise their possession of such a resource. After all, in an age of super-powers, monsters, aliens and Social Media, such information becoming known to the public would only to lead to great catastrophe.

For some, the Great Power is a magical source. For others, a scientific energy. Sometimes its a bit of both.

Regardless of whatever it is interpreted as, there are a few defining truth about said power:

The foremost truth is that, the Great Power can only properly be used to Defend the innocent and must never be used in anger or vengeance. While evil forces may gain access to similar power, they will inevitably fail to properly use it in some manner.

The second truth is that the power is limited; too much of a single kind of energy from it is dangerous not only to the users, but the world itself. And at no point will a single user always have access to the Great Power. While some warriors may return, their abilities shall change with time.

And the final, most impressive yet overlooked truth:

All who use the Great Power are connected in some manner; be it as part of a grand legacy or being destined to battle alongside each other.

And while the Rangers and Spider-Man have stopped the evil machinations of Rita...they are not the only ones who will soon be affected by the arrival of a certain Mad Titan.

No, the teens with Attitude and Web-Slinger will need help to fend off the threat that is approaching earth, and even with the Space Rangers if may not be enough.

Fortunately, two similar stories are beginning and the heroes that arise from these tales will join in the battles against the Mad Titan.

There is one such world; very similar to the one we have been following thus far, yet very different: For one thing, the Avengers, Spider-Man and Justice League are completely fictional in this world. But whereas those figures do not exist, the Power Rangers are well known, loved and respected, having defending the world of Earth and even some other worlds from threats for over 10,000 years.

Udonna the White Sorceress had been meditating and practicing her magic while her husband Leonbold had been going through his routines. Even with the Master gone and their long lost son now married with a child of his own, they were not willing to slack off.

And then she sensed it.

A great evil. Greater than the Master. Greater than ANY threat the Power Rangers had faced. He was coming towards Earth..and had in his possession something that might possibly render the Great Power useless.

With fear and anxiety filling her form, she then reached out to some one closer to the 'modern' world, for she knew most of the most experience and powerful Rangers were there and could spread the word. Hopefully, this could buy them some time.

She then found someone who not fit that description, but whose voice alone could calm her nerves:

"Grandma?"

"Hello Lily. How are things with your team?"

The girl on the other end sighed.

"We still haven't found a Ranger for the Red Dragon Zord." Lily confessed. "I'm getting worried, granny."

"As am I."

This got her granddaughter's attention.

"I've been sensing a great...disturbance...in the Great Power."

If not for the serious tone in her grandmother's tone, Lily would've chuckled at the reference.

"Something big is coming." Udonna mused. "I cannot tell what, but...you and the others will need to be prepared. Please let Dr. Oliver know."

"Will do, granny."

Udonna then spied something else with her powers.

"On the bright side, you'll find your Red Dragon Ranger very soon. In fact, your leader is picking him up right now."

"Really?" Lily beamed. "That's great! Um...what's he like? Will we get along?"

"...I don't think your father will like him at first." Was all the former White Mystic Ranger told her granddaughter, a knowing smile on her race.

'"...Why?"

"Oh my dear sweet Lily." Udonna cooed, then deciding to give a little more information. "To answer your question; he is a little rough around the edges...in fact, actually? He's reminding me of your father. In all the best ways. And, being a Ranger is in his blood."

Lily smiled.

"Well, that makes things a little easier for me, Jet, Angela and Matt."

A bell than rang.

"I'd better let you go, don't want to get you in trouble. I love you, Lily."

"I love you too grandma. Are we still going to...?"

"I will move heaven and earth if I have to."

Lily then ended the call and headed to class, being careful to hide her phone; a pink, dragon shaped phone with butterfly wings.

SMPR

In a very different world, where superheroes and super-powers are actually commonplace, five young children, no older than five, were introduced to their families' secret legacies:

A team of masked heroes who use their powers ONLY to defend and protect the world from threats beyond the stars. For once almost everyne started gaing superpowers, their world gave up on navigating outer space.

This team?

Super Sentai.

These children included a young girl with a frog like appearance, another girl with pink skin and little horns atop her head, a boy with glasses and pipes on his legs, another boy with half white and half red hair...

And the hero of this story; a freckled boy with green hair looking up at awe as his father, their teacher, assured him that one didn't need super-powers to be a hero.

Meanwhile, Peter Parker ended a routine night of patrolling. Tomorrow he and his class would be heading out for a field trip, so he was turning in a little early.

Before falling asleep, he checked his messages: Nothing to important, but he saw some Twitter notifications:

The Power Rangers, now joined by a green suited member, had taken down another monster.

Happy that his friends and girlfriend were doing so well, Peter hit the hay, ready to sleep like a log.

If only he had known what would come the next day...

To be continued...

Read and Review, would ye kindly?

I know, I know. This isn't what you signed up for; you were expecting us to jump right into the Thanos saga, not seeing more of this universe! Or rather, multiverse.

I apologize. In two weeks time, Infinty War, now joined by an original version of Tommy Oliver and possibly others, will begin.

Be on the lookout for two new fics that are part of this 'Ranger-Cross' Verse (name pending, open to suggestions):

Power Rangers Dragon Drive and My Sentai Academia.
