The Bi-Line

 Tonight will mark a decade since my plane touched down in Ontario, California and my life was changed in ways I never could have expected. When I was moving out here from Tennessee, I didn't want to come. I wanted to stay in Tennessee. I was scared to let go of the place I had called home since I was in diapers. I was scared to move to somewhere that I knew very little about. I only came because the alternative was starving to death in a drafty old house. Sometimes, it's best when the choice is simply life or death. My life has had many twists and turns that I could have never dreamed of, just because I came to California. Many good and many bad. I've made friends and enemies. I've had extreme mental breakdowns and moments of pure joy. I've been to concerts, conventions, sporting events, National Parks, and even the taping of a TV show. I've seen things that I had only ever dreamed I'd see! California is more than a state, to me. It's the symbol of a n...

The season opens at the Nexus of Gaia (as seen in Wild Force and Terra Force) where a crack is forming in the ground. From the crack would emerge the white Dino Thunder Ranger. He would summon his zord and destroy the Nexus. In the city of Stone Canyon, 3 dinosaur statues (well, technically 2 dinosaur and 1 pterosaur but even so) would begin to glow at a museum. 3 young adults (Ethan, Kira, and Conner) would approach the statues, because few things are as curious and dumb as people in their early 20s. A worker would warn them to step back but they'd touch the statues. They and the statues would all teleport to some sort of cave. They'd meet a mysterious man named Aba. He says that one of Earth's first Power Rangers was once imprisoned deep beneath the Nexus of Gaia, but has gotten out. His escape triggered the awakening of the zords of the 3 rangers he killed. They ask him how he knows all of this and he just says that he's resourceful and that there's nothing to wo...

 It is revealed that after leaving at the beginning of Turbo, Adam and Aisha went to Ninjor's temple to find a way to resurrect Rocky. They managed to do it by combining their Zeo powers and an ancient artifact in the temple. After this, the three of them worked to develop a team of ninjetti warriors. Fast forward 6 years: Ninjor's temple has been turned into an academy for ninjetti warriors. Unfortunately, the academy is attacked by Ninjor's brother, Zurgain (he'd probably have a different name but even so.) Zurgain will reveal that he has spent millenia building an army to kill Ninjor, after Ninjor allegedly stole his birthright from him. He would claim that he was supposed to be the temple guardian and priest. Since Rocky killed Ninjor, and this denied Zurgain his vengeance, Zurgain takes Rocky prisoner. Adam and Aisha help a few surviving students to a hidden room in the temple where three special power coins are. They give them to their three best students and plan...

 Sometimes you just need to be suicidal for a bit, so you can calm down later. That may sound crazy to you, if you've never been suicidal. However, I just got home from being on suicide watch at the ER. Well, I say "suicide watch" but it was more "suicide ignore". Saint Bernadine's hospital in San Bernardino are the worst. You see, I was suicidal. (I was depressed Capitalism has prevented loved ones from having any time for me, so I figured that I'm irrelevant.) I called my therapist. He told my dad to take me to the ER. They took me to the area with the beds and curtains. They sat me there, alone. After getting to the point where my frustration was overcoming my depression, I walked out. Like literally just walked out. They didn't have the door locked or anything. Security and some other workers followed me and I just stood out on the sidewalk chatting with cops and security until my dad came to pick me back up. What if I had just walked into traffi...

 Marley was dead, to begin with. Seven years to the day, for sure. In that time, his spirit had wandered about, fettered by its chain and weights, longing for the ability to enact the tiniest bit of charity upon the people he once bitterly walked by. He could watch but never interfere. That is, until the 7th anniversary of his death.  When the clock struck midnight on this day, his spirit was called forth to an ethereal judicial bench in an otherwise empty room. At the bench, a spirit suddenly appeared. Its right side was pure white and its left pure black, though that seemed to shift back and forth every few moments. "Jacob Marley?" The spirit said in a booming and yet soft voice "Yuh...yes?" Jacob said, trembling "I am called the Arbiter. I make decisions for appeals, disputes, and the like in the spiritual world. Do you know why you are here?" Jacob shook his head "I wish I could say that I did." The Arbiter continued you "Your constant a...

 The story begins at the location where the Terra Force Rangers had died. Someone stands among the dust of the fallen warriors, and sends out energy to the dust, creating several orbs. The orbs all vanish in a flash of light. 5 individuals are seen receiving orbs (one each). A radical environmentalist (Taylor), a park ranger (Danny), a veterinarian (Alyssa), a marine life conservationist (Max), and an urban wildlife relocation specialist (Cole). The five would hear a voice that tells them to meet up at a specific location. They arrive at the Nexus of Gaia (seen in my Terra Force post) and meet what looks to be a child but is really an ancient god, named Animus. Animus is the god of all animals. He's one of the children of Gaia, the goddess of Earth. He says that the 5 have been chosen to be his champions in a battle against the Orgs, evil creatures that are created from pollution, both natural and man-made. The Orgs have recently seen a surge in activity, since a prophecy of the re...
