Jacob Marley

 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...

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...
