Rise of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers - Zordon & Alpha V

After being beaten rough by the dark shadow released from the moon urn, Alpha V notes to the Rangers that he has detected a presence of something that can help them. Or rather, someone.

The sudden appearance of the shadow triggered memories that hadn’t been available to Alpha up to that point, remembering his master.

The White Light - Zordon of Eltar

The Rangers follow Alpha’s directions to a buried spaceship under the Mojave. Entering in, they find the control room and are greeted by Alpha V in person, rather than a transmission on their HUDs. Alpha flips some switches and instructs the Rangers to place their Power Coins in the console, filling five of six indents.

Restored and renewed, a holographic face appears in a tube behind them, the face of Zordon.

He welcomes them to the Command Center, however he soon realises that if the Power Coins have returned, then that means the Empire of Evil has returned, and by extension its herald; Atir.

Happy belated birthday to David j fielding, who turned 60 yesterday

Zedd is like, this conquest of Eltar would only be sweeter if Zordon was still alive to witness this.

Power Ranger Rewrite: The Zordon Saga

General

Starting off, I actually wanted this to be more disconnected from the OG Power Rangers, at least at first.

That means the initial Turbo Rangers lineup is T.J., Justin, Ashley, Carlos & Cassie.

It’s a more personal hero's journey for them, going from rookies in the shadow of the much more famous teams, to the Rangers who are actually publicly known.

Though a lot of that growth will be covered in Turbo, so Andros, Zhane, and Astronema get more time to shine in Space

Turbo

Starting this off with my intention to make this as silly as possible.

At first.

First of all, this series takes place a year or two after the end of Zeo.

The story starts with Lerigot coming to Earth, having escaped the clutches of Divatox, a privateer in the employ of Dark Spectre, seeking his magic to summon the Maligore as a potential host.

She captures his family, but Lerigot escapes with the help of the Storm Blaster and Lightning Cruiser, two sentient cars from a magitek world, bringing along with them a set of Morphers and ‘Power Engine’ from that world which Divatox had bought off the black market.

(“I knew I should have destroyed them while I had the chance!”)

The Turbo Ranger powers are actually the same ones used by the Sentai Turborrangers, who themselves were from the same planet as the cars. (Yes I know there’s a black Turborranger and a green Turbo Ranger, let’s just pretend the Sentai Turborranger was green)

He makes his way to Earth, seeking Zordon, but finds himself in an Angel Grove bereft of Power Rangers.

But his arrival catches the attention of five overbearing, over emotional young humans, TJ, Carlos, Cassie, Ashley, and Justin.

All of the Rangers are aged up a little, with Justin being a young teen while the other four are college aged.

Lacking options, Lerigot gives them the Morphers in order to fend off a Pirahnatron Patrol and hopes they don’t explode.

Despite a steep learning curve, the Turbo Rangers rise to the occasion and foil Divatox’s plan…for now.

In the meantime, Zordon, having left for Eltar, sends Dimitira and Alpha 6 to Earth to oversee these new Rangers, just to make sure that they don’t get killed.

 Lerigot and his family leave, but not before leaving the key to Maligore’s prison in Zordon’s collection within the Power Chamber

Shortly after, the Bowzark Space Pirates roll up to confront the Rangers, based more off their Sentai incarnations, including a Zonette separate from Divatox, who of course becomes TJ’s love interest.

For the first part of the series, it’s a lot more light-hearted than mighty morphin rangers, the Bowzacks trying to steal the Storm Blaster, Lightning Cruiser, the Morphers, Dimitria…anything they can get their hands on, really.

The Blue Senturion comes to Earth, briefly becomes a vigilante, and sorta mentors the Rangers between the silliness.

The Phantom Ranger arrives to reclaim the Turbo Ranger powers, but sees that they're capable (enough) and teaches them a little, eventually giving them the Rescue Megazord.

He’s trying so hard to not get attached and failing so miserably.

Also mentoring the Rangers is Rocky, returned to Angel Grove, and inadvertently Bulk & Skull.

Then Divatox returns, Havoc by her side, courtesy of Elgar calling her in.

She’s still perfectly hammy, but she starts sowing distrust amongst the already fractious Bowzacks, enticing them to join Dark Spectre’s ranks, and having the Rangers dispose of them.

Exhaus is captured by the Blue Senturion, and Zonnette agrees to testify against him in return for a reduced sentence, exiting the series…with Dimitria.

But this was what Divatox, and by extension, Dark Spectre’s forces were waiting for.

As they launch their assault on Eltar and allied worlds, Divatox unleashes Goldgoyle, destroying the Turbo Zords and weapons while raiding the Power Chamber, capturing the Power Engine, the sentient cars, and the Key to Maligore’s prison.

The Turbo Rangers arrive and try their best, but they’re overwhelmed and Divatox fulfills her promise to destroy the Turbo Morphers, before finally blowing up the Power Chamber.

What happens next occurs relatively close to canon, with Alpha 6 and the Rangers, sans Justin, headed off into Space with the last remaining artifact in Zordon’s collection: a space shuttle capable of Zord functionality, just in case.

In Space

Compared to the other series, I’m not gonna change much because of how good it is.

We do get a more action-y prologue, showcasing Dark Specter’s forces attacking Eltar, with Astronema and Ecliptor holding Zordon’s power chamber.

Zedd arrives, gloating that Zordon is stuck in his little tube since his back up Power Chamber on Earth is destroyed, and the rangers guarding it were de-powered and (as far as they know) killed.

He’s taken to the planet Cimmeria, but before the ship jumps into lightspeed, a familiar cloaked stranger sneaks aboard.

Divatox arrives and summons Maligore, allowing Dark Spectre to take its body.

When Andros first meets the Rangers, there’s initially some friction because they’re not the Power Rangers of Earth, who all seem to have disappeared.

The Rangers of Karovia (KO-35) are basically their version of Lightspeed Rescue, technologically created morphers and zords meant to act as a deep space rescue force, though as Dark Spector’s forces moved in, increasingly became freedom fighters and straight up combatants.

Andros and Zhane are on-and-off romantic, but Karovians are a lot cooler with polyamory, so Andros also has feelings for Ashley, and when Zhane wakes up and sees the chemistry between the two is just like ‘sweet! Girlfriend-in-law!

The Psycho Rangers are the twisted spirits of Power Rangers who turned evil (Like Psycho Green), practically insane at this point via the processes uses to make them monsters.

The Z-Wave does not wipe out all evil, but purges the evildoers who had tied their power to Dark Spector so intricately. All the minions and monsters die, as does Rito, being an undead being of Dark Magic, several others are given forceful adjustments to their point of view, and Zedd and Rita (Now Mistress Vile, as her father’s successor) barely survive do to Zedd’s…precautions.

The Rita Putty from MMPR is hit by the wave just outside of a little town called Briarwood, and is saved by a comforting voice, and the feeling of comforting magic...

Divatox and Elgar get those forceful adjustments, but that doesn’t mean they won’t return to their dastardly ways.

But still, the day is saved, and perhaps most importantly, the Astro Ranger’s identities are known, which has gotta have repercussions for the future.

Zordon

least favorite thing about them: Sometimes he isn’t the most forthcoming about things or events that could have been/should have been shared with from the beginning?

favorite line: Too much Pink energy. Need I say more?

brOTP: Zordon and Alpha.

OTP: N/A

nOTP: Zordon with any of his rangers, Alpha, Evil characters.

random headcanon: The comics aside, Eltar did have their own set of Power Rangers that protected the planet. He was the leader of his team during the war against Rita Repulsa.

Zedd

least favorite thing about them: His floundering.

favorite line: “My name is Zedd! Lord Zedd, not Ed!” I feel this so much.

brOTP: Zedd and Goldar. Neither get paid enough to deal with this.

OTP: Zedd and Rita. Yeah, yeah I know but…c’mon. They accomplished SO much together compared to them being separated. 

nOTP: N/A

random headcanon: Originally, Zedd was a simple librarian that fell into darkness once becoming seduced by the dark arts, and become so terrifyingly powerful due to his combined knowledge and deep understanding of magic, and the Grid.

favorite line: “I will protect your shop.”

brOTP: Chase and Shelby, Chase and Koda.

OTP: Chase x Tyler. I think they fit together.

nOTP: Chase x Riley. I wasn’t crazy about it in the beginning when the show originally aired, and that continued through Dino Super Charge. But the fans ended up souring my entire opinion on them as a couple.

OTP: N/A 

nOTP: Amelia x Ollie. Their entire relationship… doesn’t work for me, romantically? That’s just my perspective.

Happy 30th Anniversary to POWER RANGERS!!!

Back in 2018 I did my interpretations of the Original Six Rangers on either side of their leader Zordon of Eltar.

Rest in Peace to both Thuy Trang and Jason David Frank . . .

*Sigh* Okay, MMPR #122 is out and once again, I only care about TWO things:

My Bulk and Skull crumbs are opening up more helpful things--even though I would rather die than have Taylor so much as touch Bulk (STAY AWAY FROM HIM) and Skull's type has a double entendre that I do not appreciate (stop trying to make him horny for Zelya, I am not kidding).

And hey, what do you know, THEY CAN FIGHT. ISN'T THAT USEFUL RIGHT NOW???

Interdimensional and time traveling rangers~ I spotted DT Tommy and Gold Jason~

Of course, those are only the things I CARE about. There is the additional bonus of:

Once more, we get the reality that Zordon and other Eltarian's probably have internal junk, because he NEVER wears clothes in these situations. So...nudity probably isn't a big issue for them?

And Billy broke the timestream. Great.

[ashleybenlove]

Billy lets her know that Amelia's team is on their own if they choose to go now to Eltar, since other Ranger teams are busy.

She chooses to go now.

He does tell her "May the Power protect you." (while also namedropping Zordon again).

Love that.

[ironbloodaika]

The first in the Trifecta of REALLY Dark Ranger Villain Origins! :D

[augment-techs]

....Honestly this feels less like getting prompted twice as getting fed treats at a sample sale twice and, therefore, my only reaction is to give proper tribute twice.

Two for One Specials and all that~

Trying to Answer that Ask from @ajgrey9647 about Skull choosing violence or grace when left alone with Drakkon:

"You only need three things to bring back some order from the culling that's been happening. And they're not even very hard to get."

Jason, young and smooth skinned and with such dark hair, continued to try and stand tall in his anger at yet another death happening, not looking at those glass cases still shiny and pink with bloody water and a heart inside one while the other remained draped over with a black cloth to hide the head floating in embalming fluid nobody wanted to venture a guess as to where Skull had gotten. If he looked over there, he'd have to look at the Ranger Slayer's look of unquestionable relief at being given an out from performing an execution.

Or look over at the version of his older self, gripping the island lab table like a lifeline, hard enough to warp the metal, tears rolling down his face and his screaming from earlier having made him hoarse even as he gulped for air at the height of something that could have been a full blown dissociating panic attack serving as a balm to his rage at not taking Drakkon out himself...

Skull held up his hand, the clean Orange suit doing a good job to distract from the horror underneath as he lifted one finger at a time, speaking clearly and concisely to his audience.

"First, you need to go back to where the Blue Emissary's body is and have Billy punch the corpse while calling out his morph."

All of the faces observing him looked horrified at the very idea, but he continued on as if he was talking about the weather, "Being that both of them are Blue, they're attached to the Morphin Grid in a way that most other Rangers and Colors aren't. Emissaries are not quite like other living beings; they represent something eternal, echoing on forever--even if they have to leave their bodies behind."

He was fully aware that Billy understood these words. Did not like them, and shifted under the weight of one eye he knew was looking at him from behind the visor, but would do as he was told if it meant saving the universe.

Skull held up a second finger.

"Two, you need to cooperate with Grace Sterling and Promethea and have Zordon have a long overdue conversation with Lord Zedd, because the Empyreals are being controlled by someone that was never Zordon's friend. Or Zophram's." Zordon seemed to almost go purple in the face, about to launch into a long, drawn out speech about fellowship and Eltar being an example of all good things in the universe, but Skull took the split second before that to interrupt him as if he was barely worth the time.

"If you seem so unsure about why Zedd seemed so keen on going after you for thousands and thousands of years and feel as if you don't believe what I'm saying, then when you go and ask him his real name, try and posit the question about why it is if he thought you were plotting his death, why it was that Zartus was right there--killing witnesses?"

Zordon's jaw seemed to hang open, many hundreds of thoughts and emotions streaming through him; as if his memories were a tank full of water and someone had gouged a hole in it instead of slowly unwinding a valve. Alpha had stopped gently pressing from foot to foot, twiddling his little fingers, to look up at his master like a child.

Skull held up his last finger, his shoulders still tight as Tommy looked about ready to jump in with his own questions; his protective instincts almost amusing if Skull hadn't been so damn tired, "If you want to defeat the Empyreals, then find some way to get along with the New Green without your petty insecurities getting in the way. The only way to defeat the Empyreals is by taking back their hearts, so you can bring back the Emissaries. The one thing that they will protect is their chance to continue walking the mortal coil and each other. Just because they're on a leash right now doesn't mean they won't throw everything they've got at you. Right now they're only two, and with Drakkon out of the way, hopefully, you won't have to deal with the third." He lowered his hand and tilted his head over towards Trini, young and disconcerted, but listening intently (like her older self hadn't been willing to in a long time) even as he slowly walked towards where he knew the oversized room for showers and cleanup after Ranger missions was, "You should work with Aisha to hone in on the Yellow Emissary. Not to locate them, just to talk to them. Go with her to Safehaven and try focusing on your Grid Energy together."

Second chapter of that two-shot I've been dithering on WAY too long for that Green with Evil Identity Reveal AU for @koragg1:

Here was the truth of the matter: Billy had never been so proud or so terrified of and for Eugene in equal measure.

And why shouldn't he be proud? Not even Jason had managed to land a downer hit on the Green Ranger, and he'd been trying for the sake of his friends and the world, Power on and at his back and righteousness in his veins.

Skull had been protecting Billy, which might not have seemed so much in the grand scheme, not much to shake at, but Billy had known in his gut that there was something more to the boy than others deemed to give a second thought to.

Still, it would have been nice if whatever gave him the Wrath of Gods could have stuck around.

Especially after he hauled himself up out of the fountain and collapsed on the grass, looking no more threatening than a newborn fawn still covered in viscera. Couldn't even seem to be aware of anything; even Billy bodily lifting him and talking to him about giving directions to his car. 

Then meandering into trying to compliment him, stroke his ego to keep him awake as Billy found the car--unlocked, because of course it was; nobody was going to steal a 90s Toyota Corolla with spotting paint, a billion scratched, and sticker that boasted the queer punk lifestyle; not even in fucking California--and carefully dropped him into the back seat, pausing only to send an urgent text to Trini. The sight of Eugene's blood on the leather seats from the thin cut along his arm reminding him instantly that if what Skull did ended up on the news or the internet before someone talked to Bulk...Billy didn't even want to imagine the explosion...

"Hey, you wanna tell me why you didn't keep that sword? You could have showed it off as proof of your good deed and heroic actions; it would have looked really great on your bedroom wall...or something."

Skull shook his head and immediately regretted it, the movement causing his blinding migraine to flare back up and the nausea to hit him like a kick in the stomach; body vibrating with the loss of all of his energy and he curled tighter into himself and was only vaguely aware of Billy driving faster than he would have imagined he was able to unless it was an emergency.

"Don' wan' it," he practically slurred, tongue heavy and mouth dry for some reason, "Was...bad."

Billy really didn't mean to swerve a little at those words, but something told him he really needed to listen to Skull about this; the hairs on the back of his neck were standing up, and his Ranger instincts were going crazy.

He righted the car and cleared his throat, trying to seem nonchalant, though he needn't have bothered with Eugene being so out of it, "Bad, how, exactly? It looked like just a normal sword and I didn't notice anything to suggest differently when it bushed my pinky finger."

The lithe body continued to curl and shake, but Eugene seemed to try to articulate the right words for the unpleasantness he'd felt when he'd touched the sword, the way his arm seemed to go numb and something in him had hoped when he dropped it...maybe it had broken and was useless.

"Fel' like...the Hope Di'mond...or...uh...tha' mean wine cab'net with the...the thing...the uhhh..."

"The Dybbuk Box?"

"Yeah...tha'...top things no' to mess with...Sword fel' like tha'..."

Perfectly aware of the list of heavily cursed items throughout the world that were alleged to bring terrible luck onto their owners Skull was talking about, as Billy had been the one that printed out the list for a game they'd played when they were nine and wanted to work out how they wouldn't have kept the items for themselves or would have worked to vanquish the evil within them, the genius young man felt his own throat go dry as he pulled into Skull's 'neighborhood.'

He slowed the car down in front of the lonesome two story house that stood ominously surrounded by woods, the sound of the trains that hauled grain and livestock sounding off not terribly far away from the small creek and abandoned tunnels that made up a large chunk of his childhood memories beyond the house's back 'yard' igniting nostalgia Billy worked to push down, down, down as he tried to form a plan in his mind.

It wasn't really scientific, but since Rita showed up, a lot of things that had seemed impossible before had been proven to be very real--Skull beating the shit out of the evil Green Ranger and being able to sense unspeakable evil in a sword didn't even make his top ten impossible things not worth considering...

But, first, getting Skull out of his wet clothes, his injury cleaned (fuck, it looked like it was bleeding much more than was safe, fuck) and...getting him into bed.

Heads Up Seven Up

I got tagged by @sliceoflifeshepard :) thank you!

Everyone he loved tended to die, get hurt, or grow to hate him. Sometimes all three. The last thing he wanted was to be…well. Himself. With Zack. Because if he was himself, with Zack, surely that would drive him away. It’d driven everyone else away.

He remembered when they were teenagers. Billy opened his mouth, and Zack asked Trini for translation. Zack made a pop culture reference or dance reference and Billy smiled and asked someone else privately. When they were finally starting to understand each other again Zack was chosen for that convention. By the time he got back, Billy was no longer on planet.

It’d been too long, and Billy wasn’t sure if they could make an excuse for a relationship now.

And I tag;

@skyland2703 @ajgrey9647 @augment-techs @queerlilchinchin and anyone who’d like to play :)

Power Rangers: Journey To Eltar 🌀

(Movie 3 of the Power Rangers 2017 movie sequels that never were)

With Rita's magic slowly fading from Tomi's body and the girl's connection to the green dragon power coin going with it, the new Green Ranger's powers are failing more and more with every passing moment. The spelled gold in her veins that once fuelled her powers now poisoning her.

Seeing that the ship was not equipped to heal Tomi from Rita's gold, Zordon tells the team that to save their friend she and two other Rangers will have to travel to his home planet of Eltar and seek the help of Ninjor, the commander of the Power Ranger legions and the creator of the Power Coins, in the hopes of reforging her link to the Morphing grid.

"You can't expect us to do nothing! It's killing her Zordon!"

"The ship is simply not equipped to purge or cure young Tomi's poisoning from Rita's gold, there is nothing I can do... But there might be another way...."

Using the Dragonzord, Tomi, Zack and Trini travel to Eltar in the hopes of finding Ninjor and curing their green Ranger, leaving Jason Billy and Kim with the duty of protecting the Zeo crystal on earth.

But what they discover as they land is not the great civilization Zordon had told them of. All they find are ruins and destruction.

The Trio is shortly thereafter confronted by Delphine, a resistance fighter from Aquitar, one of the moons of Eltar. Delphine tells the group how centuries ago, the planet was conquered by a commander of the armies of evil, Master Vile. The great temple of Ninjor and the Ranger Legions destroyed and lost in the deserts of the once thriving planet. The people now enslaved and hiding.

"My people were once capable of miracles in technology and healing. Now this is what we have been reduced to, scrounging for scraps and working for crumbs."

Guided by the Eltar rebels, the Rangers accompanied by Delphine were able to find the ancient ruins of the temple of Ninjor and thanks to their power coins, were able to unlock its doors.

Inside, they find remnants of the past. Armors, weapons and records. Countless Ancient power coins embedded into the walls. And a still living Ninjor... Who refuses to help them or cure Tomi, stating that the Morphin Grid had been too abused by ill-intentioned individuals in the past and that the time of Power Rangers was long gone.

Trini, Zack and Delphine must leave to help fight off the incoming attack from Master Vile to the Rebel camp while Tomi stays, too weak to travel anymore.

After some time talking, Tomi manages to convince Ninjor to give the universe another chance. That it may be time for Power Rangers to come back.

Ninjor reforges the green coin. Purifying its past evil and transforming it into something different, something new.

"The coin had never accepted you, you were unworthy. It was loyal to its holder and in a way it always will... What I have done is simply open a new pathway for it. YOU must show that you ARE worthy of it. Show it WHY you are more than you were."

Now connected to her reforged power coin, Tomi joins the fight with Zack, Trini, Delphine and the Rebels of Eltar against Master Vile and his army of Tenga warriors.

"It's time to finish this you overgrown lizard!"

With Master Vile defeated, Eltar freed and Tomi once more connected to the morphing grid, the Rangers can finally head back to earth... But it seems that Master Vile had one last trick up his sleeve, or rather, a tracker.

Now someone is following the Rangers back to Earth... Someone wicked and twisted. Someone who conquered three galaxies with thousands of evildoers under his command. Someone who singlehandedly killed dozens of Rangers team all those centuries ago... Lord Zedd.

"Finally, after all these years, the Zeo Crystal will be mine!"

_____________________________________

After learning to train and fight as a team, The Rangers must now separate. Tomi and two of her friends will travel to Zordon's home planet of Eltar to find a cure for the new Green Ranger's slowly fading powers while the other three members of the group will have to remain on earth and protect the zeo crystal. But what they find on the alien planet may not be what they expect from the once great civilization.

An awesome new series of commissions made by the super talented @samurairdk on Instagram showing what I think could have been the 2017 movie sequels!
