How I'd do Wild Force

 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...

My Take on Power Rangers: Time Force

 The season opens in the year 3000, at Time Force HQ. Some new recruits are being told (by Jen) the history of Time Force. Basically, Time Force's origins date back to Lightspeed Rescue. Lightspeed Rescue protected the planet and continued to develop new technology. Eventually, they developed three new branches. One branch policed extra-terrestrial activity. One policed inter-dimensional activity. One policed time travel.....and that was Time Force. Time Force has five Power Rangers (well, usually....right now they only have one). Each one is the descendant of former rangers. The morphers cannot be activated without DNA that has the morphing grid signature. The recruits are dismissed and Jen begins to walk out of the room. She is stopped by Alex who tells her not to look so annoyed. She tells him that she signed up for the job so that she could be a police officer and not just someone who gives routine lectures. Alex kisses her cheek and they go to a restaurant. While eating, they ...

My Take on Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue

 The season begins with a few veteran rangers working in what looks to be a military base. Suddenly, there is an alarm. An image of batlings attacking the city would appear on a screen. Jason rushes into the room and tells them to activate Operation Lightspeed. Soldiers are deployed to the city. Meanwhile, men in black suits show up at a firehouse, an ER, a Naval Base, an Air Force Base, and a local FEMA headquarters. Soon, five people are escorted into the base and left with Jason. Jason informs them that they have been selected, out of many candidates, to be the new Power Rangers. They get their morphers and go into battle. The following five episodes would give back-story to the rangers. Carter (who would have a more demanding presence) is a firefighter who has gotten many awards for his service. He saved some diplomats from a burning building and even used a firehose to take out some criminals, while the police were on their way. ((Those things are VERY powerful, afterall.)) Da...

My Take on Power Rangers: Terra Force (Lost Galaxy)

 The season begins with Angel Grove being rebuilt. During this, a horde of sting-winger attack earth. A few of the former rangers fight them, but are over-powered. Suddenly, five rangers fall from the sky and land in the middle of the battle. They defeat the sting-wingers and demorph. The former rangers ask them who they are and they inform them that they are ancient warriors who were inprisoned by the Machine Empire. They tell them that the prison was broken open when the Z-Wave hit it. They are asked if anything else got out. They tell the former rangers that the sting-wingers are a creation of someone who got out, though they don't know who. They also tell them that a man sent something for them to give to the former rangers. The red ranger holds out Andros' battleizer and gives it to them. ((Quick thing: the rangers DO have the same names as the Lost Galaxy rangers.)) Eventually the former rangers help integrate the new rangers into modern society. Obviously, some humor wou...

My Take on Power Rangers: In Space

  The season would begin a few months after Turbo. The rangers would still be in the shuttle, and so they would be a little on edge.......especially since they have no idea how to fly the thing and are relying on a special auto-pilot device that they got from Alpha, before the command center was destroyed. They would stumble upon the Astro-Megaship, which would draw them in. Meanwhile, Andros would be at a United Alliance of Evil celebration. General Havoc would be praised, since he would be the ruler of Earth. Dark Spectre would show up and thank him for bringing Zordon to him. He would tell General Havoc that the celebration is over, and then he would kill him. With General Havoc dead, Dark Spectre would appoint Astronema as the ruler of Earth. Andros, who has spent a while disguised as a villain, tries to sneak away. He is spotted and pointed out to be a traitor. There would be a little fight, but he would escape. The following bit would be pretty much the same as the show. Andr...

My Take on Power Rangers: Turbo

 The show would start with the rangers living normal lives. No evil has attacked the planet, in months. However, they are eventually allerted, by Zordon, that the Zeo crystal has been stollen. Zordon would inform them that he and Alpha have worked on new powers, but the rangers cannot use them. I would use some cop-out plot device like "the Zeo powers were meant to be the final evolution in ranger powers, and so any powers added on top of them could kill you" and that Tommy's powers, though derived form Auric's key, are directly connected to the Zeo crystal and so he is unable the morph. Thus: Zordon would bring in a new team. I would bring in Cassie, Ashley, TJ, Carlos, and Justin. However, Justin would not be some annoying kid. He would be maybe 15 or so. Anyway, the new rangers are given the Turbo powers and are sent after the Zeo Crystal. There would be a few episodes of a special quest, which would lead them to discover that General Havoc has hidden the crystal i...

My Take on Power Rangers: Zeo

  With the Ninjetti Powers gone and Rocky and Ninjor dead, the rangers are devistated as they see the Machine Empire attack Earth. Soon, the rangers are teleported to the Command center. While there, Zordon informs them that the Zeo Crystal is the oldest power source for the Power Rangers. He tells them that he was once a ranger who used them as a power source. Then he gives them their powers. They are left without a red ranger, but go to battle anyway. During their first fight, they are overwhelmed but are saved by a red ranger. After the fight, he reveals himself to be Jason. Jason leads the team against the machines. There would be several character building episodes for the heroes AND villains. One thing that would be done is that Adam and Aisha would become a couple (because they would be amazing together). Also, the rangers realize that the Zeo powers are growing. They are faster, stronger, more agile, and more durable when they are unmorphed. This enrages King Mondo and he i...

My Take on Power Rangers: Mighty Morphin Ninjetti Rangers

 Okay, so the rangers go on the Ninjetti quest. During the quest, they go through several trials and issues. They have to go through a maze, face a Sphynx (because I love the idea of the Sphynx in a lanbrynth), face darker versions of themselves, and kinds of stuff. During one of the trials or whatever, Tommy falls into a chasm, which closes up. Thus: he's gone. Anyway, they get to Ninjor and he gives them the Ninjetti powers (after telling them that all of the tests were to prove that they are worthy of the Ninjetti powers). The powers the Kakuranger suits (because I despise the Alien Rangers). Ninjor appoints Adam as the leader. Seeing that the rangers have not been destroyed, Master Vile comes to avenge his daughter (secretly knowing that Zedd is really responsible). He works with Zedd and comes up with several great ideas. One of which is to find the mysterious Zeo crystal, which holds powers beyong that of the Ninjetti. During the season, Skull dials down on his cheesy pick-up...

My Take on Power Rangers: Mighty Morphin Thunder Rangers

  With the arrival of Lord Zedd, Zordon gives the rangers the Thunder Powers (including the Dairanger suits). Tommy is left out because there was only enough power for 5 rangers. He sticks around as a supporting character and Kimberly's boyfriend, until Zordon and Alpha eventually develop the white ranger powers. When Tommy rejoins the team, Jason starts to feel less important in his role as leader. When Zack and Trini are almost killed after Jason makes a bad call on a mission, Jason leaves the team ans gets replaced by Rocky. While Zack and Trini are injured, they're benched and Adam and Aisha come in. (Those two and Rocky would have shown up at the start of the season and would have been built up as close friends to the rangers.) Seeing how well Adam and Aisha are doing, Zack and Trini decide to leave the team after recovering. So, this season ends with Rito coming to get revenge for his sister. Zedd tells him that the rangers killed his sister, and he believes him. Rito un...

My Take on Power Rangers: MMPR

 The first episode would have a monster attacking the city. Jason and Trini, who are on a field trip together, fight it. During the fight, they are somehow given the strength to defeat the monster. They get teleported to the command center and are informed that an evil witch has returned from exile. They are given the red and yellow powers. Throughout the course of the next few episodes, Kimberly, Zack, and Billy would get their powers and join the team. After they all get their powers, they would be given the megazord. Then there would be a few character building episodes. Eventually, Green With Evil would begin. Tommy would meet them the same way he did in the actual show (at a martial arts competition.) He would be chosen by Rita to be her ranger. He is given the powers and trashes the command center. When he faces the rangers, he almost kills them. He decides to try to take them out, one by one. Tommy asks Kimberly out and ends up luring her into a trap, on the date. Tommy tort...

Something I found on Facebook

I found this on Facebook. Apparently, back in 2013 I wrote the prolonged to a Power Rangers fan fiction that I never followed up on. It may have been what inspired the story I wrote about a Machine Empire apocalypse. I don't know. Still, it's pretty bloody cool, so I figured I'd share it with you guys. Angel Grove -   Smog fills the warm air, as bits of sunlight peer through. From what can be seen, it's almost dusk. A lone woman walks through the rubble of what used to be the Park/DeSantos Martial Arts Academy. She squats down and pulls away some of the rubble, finding what appears to be a journal. The cover reads   My Life as a Power Ranger.   She picks it up, flips to the last page that has writing, and begins reading.   It's been ten years since the invasion and people still ask me where I was when they took over the world. They ask me how I reacted to the invasion. They ask me if I would have fought, had I been able to do so. Every time, I lie.   I was in St...
