Episode 591: Power Rangers HyperForce: Centuries

2213

On the HyperForce ship, Marvin and Chloe are preparing to send their oldest son to the Time Force Academy when Lina Song teleports in

"Lina!" said Chloe

"Hey Chloe" said Lina "I wish I could bring good news today, but unfortunately…"

"What is it Lina?" Jack asked

"The Alliance Leader was spotted" said Lina "it's been over a hundred years since he was first seen, which means that your guys' theory about the Alliance Leader somehow being able to get around the hundred year limit most creatures have is correct"

"So that means he really is just a backslidden believer?" Joe asked

"That's the only explanation that makes sense" said Lina "how else would someone get by the hundred year limit? But even this theory doesn't make a ton of sense, how could someone who's truly saved purposely continue to do horrible things for so long?"

"Could he be a demon?" Chloe asked

"No" said Lina "Michael said the demons were all still safely locked away"

"Since we've never actually seen the Alliance Leader's face, how do we know this is the same Alliance Leader?" Eddie asked

"When he attacked Time Force, they managed to get an energy scan of him" said Lina "the energy signature I just got from him matches the one Time Force got one hundred years ago"

"Did they happen to get a life-force signature as well?" Eddie asked

"No" said Lina "he jammed that"

"Why would he jam the life-force signature but not the energy signature?" Jack asked

"Simple" said Vesper "we could use the life-force signature to ID him. Energy signatures, while unique, aren't tracked by Time Force, life-force is usually considered to be sufficient"

"So the Alliance Leader wanted us to know that's their only one of him, but not to know who he is" said Eddie

"Great, he's taunting us" said Marvin

"Yes, he is" said Lina "he, and the Alliance as a whole, have remained quiet since you defeated him and destroyed the Artifacts"

"So what is he up to?" Jack asked

"That's what I'm trying to find out" said Lina "I just wanted to provide you with an update"

"Thanks, Lina" said Marvin "let us know if you need anything"

"Will do, but it's been rather peaceful since you guys went on your sabbatical" said Lina "which worries me, the Alliance clearly isn't gone, but it isn't causing crimes either… I will let you know when I have more information. Until next time, may the Power protect you" and she teleports away


2975

In Harwood County, the Megaforce and HyperForce watch on as Marvin and Chloe's great great granddaughter Clare marries a man named Judah Ashford. After the ceremony, Troy and Emma congratulate them

"Well it's about time" said Troy "you two've been dating forever"

"And when are get going to get some great great great great grandkids?" Emma asked

"Grandma, Grandpa" said Clare "people like to date for a couple of decades before they get married… and at least half a century after marriage before they have kids"

"We know" said Chloe "we would've had several more generations of grandchildren otherwise"

"So, Judah" said Troy "how long are you two taking off from Time Force?"

"The minimum Time Force allows after a marriage, just a year" said Judah "we love our job, but we will be enjoying the leave as well. I'm eager get back to work on finding the Alliance"

"I can't believe they're still around" said Marvin "I thought they would've fell apart years ago"

"I can't believe they don't have you guys out in the field" said Judah

"While part of me is itching to get back in the field" said Marvin "I enjoy spending time with family, I don't miss the hardships, and at this point, I'm starting to feel the effects of time"

"Don't get me started" said Troy, holding his back

"Besides" said Marvin "once the head of the Alliance Taskforce at Time Force and his lovely bride get back from their sabbatical, the Alliance won't be a match"

"Oh, Grandpa" said Clare "we're not that good…"

"Besides" said Judah "I'm hoping the rest of the taskforce has the Alliance disbanded before we're back"

"We'll get him eventually" said Cruger, joining the conversation "now Officers Ashford, I don't want to see you for a year. Enjoy the time off"

"That's an order I'll follow with glee" said Claire

"Even I'd follow that order" said Chloe

"You two don't just look alike, you're practically the same person" said Cruger. Judah and Claire get in a small ship that Marvin and Chloe had purchased for them and that Noah had fixed up and take off, ready to explore the universe on their own.


2976

The Megaforce and HyperForce receive a message from Tommy to meet on Aquitar and to bring their families with them.

"I'm afraid I have some bad news" said Tommy "Judah and Clare Ashford are missing"

"What?!" cried Clare's mom

"Are you sure?" Marvin asked

"Yes" said Tommy "they were supposed to report back to Time Force last week. After they didn't show up for a few days, we tracked their ship and found it completely destroyed"

"No!" cried Clare's mom

"There's something else you should know…" said Tommy "the Alliance's emblem was spray painted on the ruins of the ship…"

"What?" Troy asked

"The best we can figure, they went off on their own unauthorized mission to find the Alliance and did succeed in finding them, but got caught" said Tommy "now they should be relatively safe, they can't be killed or even feel significant pain"

"That's no excuse" said Clare's mom "you will find my daughter and son-in-law

"You're right" said Tommy "it is no excuse. Which is why I asked to meet on Aquitar. The Megaforce and HyperForce are being reactivated with two missions. Your primary objective is to save Judah and Clare. The secondary objective is to bring down the Alliance by any means necessary. I have received authorization from Zordon Himself to allow the Megaforce and HyperForce to use the waters of Aquitar to make themselves young"

"Thank you Tommy" said Troy "we will find Judah and Clare and we will bring them home, the Alliance will be dismantled, and the Alliance Leader will be brought to justice"

"The waters of Aquitar await you" said Tommy "may the Power protect you" and he teleports away
