Power Rangers Rewrite: Mighty Morphin'

Season 1 & Background

Because the Boom Comics actually expounds on their backstories, Rita & Zedd have their comics backstories. Rita is specifically from a planet known as Bandora, which has a lot of magical practitioners, including an organized order of witches.

Bandorans are taller than humans, and to a human eye always look a little sickly.

The Power Coins used to belong to a multi planetary team (the Zyu Rangers) with explicitly Alien Zords resembling the 2017 movie. Rita killed the Green Ranger and took that Coin, thus control of the Dragonzord.

The 90’s Zyu Rangers interpreted the Zords on the Coins as artistic renditions of Earth animals, thus minorly reformatting the Zords when they’re finally brought to bear.

Jason actually beats Tommy during their fight like in Zyuranger.

Season 2

Grace Sterling gets introduced, and Zordon tells the story of the 1969 Rangers.

The Stone Canyon Trio are introduced, giving an outside perspective to the Rangers.

Zedd doesn’t arrive…yet. He does send messages to Rita in the form of nightmares.

No Thunderzords, the Zyu/Dino Megazord survives, since I wanna keep the Dairangers (Thunder Star Rangers) in my back pocket.

In the same vein, Tommy doesn’t get the White Tiger Power Coin after losing the Green Power Coin, instead he gets a White Brachiosaurus Power Coin that ties him to Titanus, which itself is reformatted to serve as armor and weaponry for the Zyu Megazord.

Tommy’s Ranger Suit is white and gold, with the MM sculpted mouth helmet and Dragon shield, but with elements of the Dino Thunder Black suit, while Saba is literally just a repainted Bracchio Staff.

Before Tommy comes back, Rita launches the Dark Ranger’s scheme from the comics, which comes to an end once Tommy arrives, destroying the Dark Ranger’s Power Source (A Dark Mockery of a Zeo Crystal?)

The Rita putty escapes, albeit heavily wounded, to fight another day.

Kiya comes to Earth following the Dark Rangers, chasing the power source used. She sticks around for a while.

The first half of the season ends with a final confrontation with Goldar when he attempts to throw Angel Grove into the Dark Dimension during Jason, Trini & Zack’s graduation, and is struck down by Tommy and Jason. The Stone Canyon Trio helps.

Jason, Trini and Zack decide to take a gap year, and are given the Omega Morphers to help Kiya hunt down the source of the knockoff Zeo Crystal, while the Stone Canyon Trio take their places.

Rito arrives afterwards, with some new mercenaries to give the Rangers trouble, including Dayne. Scorpina, meanwhile, leaves, vowing vengeance against the Rangers.

Their adventures include a crossover with the Masked Rider of Edenoi.

The season finale is Zedd’s arrival, Serpentera in tow, and challenges the Rangers to combat.

He destroys the Megazord with Serpentera, before taking them on 1-v-6, rendering the Power Coins useless one after the other, until only Tommy is left with his powers.

Tommy tries, but Zedd captures him, and brings him back to the Moon Castle, leaving the other Rangers to lick their wounds and wallow in their powerlessness.

Season 3

With the Power Coins useless, the Omega Rangers out of contact and Zordon unable to access back-up Ranger powers, Zordon sends the Rangers to Ninjor to create powers of their own.

In the meanwhile, he calls for reinforcements, the Rangers of Aquitar (known as the Doron Rangers), with more on the way.

Zedd sends more monsters to delay the Rangers, and gathers forces fromDark Spector, including Master Vile, to attempt and summon the dark god Lokar from the Talus Dimension.

The Rangers pass Ninjor’s trials and gain their Ninjetti Power Coins and Zords, with all new suits coming with them.

They have elements of the American Ninja Ranger uniforms, the Dairangers, with MM helmets remodeled to reflect their new Zords.

Meanwhile, Tommy is being held by the villains, where he strikes up a friendship with Finster, who eventually helps free him.

During this escape, he finds remnants of the tools used in the corruption of the Green Dragon Power Coin, and takes it.

The Rangers return to Earth and meet the Doron rangers. There’s some chafing, especially between Billy and Cestro, though that rivalry shifts into something more…amorous.

Tommy arrives, Finster by his side and arcane secrets in hand. Finster and Alpha duke it out at least once.

In the background, we’re introduced to new transfer students Tanya Sloan and Kat Hillard. Kat gets mind controlled but it gets broken.

Eventually, Finster, Alpha, Tideus and Delphine figure out how to reactivate the Dragonzord, dormant since the loss of the Green Power Coin, and Tommy uses the power of friendship to bring it back under control.

Master Vile attempts to interfere, but the Rangers strike him down with Ninjor’s help. 

Deciding to take advantage, the rangers attack the moon palace, reinforced by the Masked Rider and the Omega Rangers (Now with Yale replacing Kiya)

The Rangers win, destroying Serpentera, and wrecking the moon base, though Lokar is summoned.

In order to seal him, the Mighty Morphin Rangers sacrifice the Ninjetti Power Coins to do so, while Tommy’s powers once again become unstable.

In the aftermath, the rangers disperse. Kim goes off to pursue her gymnastics career, Billy leaves for Aquitar as a representative of Earth, NASADA, and Prometheus.

Aisha also leaves to join humanitarian aid.

Tommy, a bit adrift, decides to stay with Adam and Rocky, and possibly form a new team.

After all, while they did beat them up, they never saw Rita, Rito, or Zedd actually fall…

<-Prev/Next->

[soulsalight]

His lips part in surprise after the brief contact of lips and the next breath comes out in a sudden rush. He stares at Hien when he leans back, his heartbeat fluttering at the gentle gesture. But when nothing else follows after other than another smile on Hien's part, Thancred shakes his head and the confusion with it and instead of interpreting the kiss as anything other than an extension of the previous comforts, pushes it aside and then moves on to do as he planned.

It doesn't quite keep his thoughts from circling, doesn't quite ease his mind, his rational side once again asking what he thinks he is doing, because this feels far removed from simply offering help and shelter to someone who needs it, but rather like something more reckless.

It already is far more than rationality should allow, bringing a stranger and a werewolf no less into his home and tending to him, keeping him far closer than he has kept anyone when he is certain Hien could likely rip him apart ahould he choose to do so... and then this talk of hunters, hinting at the mountain of things he doesn't yet know about Hien.

If he is not careful, Thancred is certain he'll wind up pulled into a world he has never even considered real before meeting Hien, but looking at him now, relaxed under Thancred's ministrations, he isn't sure if that would be a bad thing.

He is pulled from his thoughts by Hien's words, once again caught off guard by the fact that all he has shared with the wolf is, of course, something he has shared with Hien, too.

Thancred frantically tries to remember what it was he shared with the supposed animal at the time and whether or not there were things better left unsaid about himself. He is quite glad for the fact that Hien is not currently looking at him, for the slight flush on his face quite clearly communicates his embarrassment.

"Ah..." He breathes. "I'm told I tend to ramble. It helps me get my thoughts in order, especially when I am nervous..." He continues to work his fingers through Hien's long hair, not out of necessity anymore, since the individual strands are quite thouroughly coated in shampoo by now, but simply because he enjoys the feel of it.

He clears his throat then. "And I have to admit: you did scare me in the beginning, hence the constant stream of words." Maybe he still does in a way, although it is almost eerie how fast Thancred has come to trust Hien to not do him any harm, even as a wolf.

However, he doesn't consider the implications of that. Instead, he simply chuckles. "But if you like my talking, then I can certainly do that..." He has him lean back a bit then, and begins to work out the soap fromdark lengths of hair. "Is there anything in particular you'd like me to talk about?"

soulsalight​:

It feels almost natural to reach for the soap and go about washing Hien’s skin to help him settle and relax again. By now Thancred is done questioning his own actions anyway. It’s easier this way, just going from moment to moment. So, he only does what feels right in the current situation, and if this is what Hien needs right now, then who is he to deny him?

When Hien speaks again after a long bit of silence, more coherent than he has been, and with less rough, less strained of a voice than Thancred has come to expect of him, he looks up from his task, eyes widened in horror at what he is being told. His actions slow. Why? He wants to ask Who would do such a thing?

He blinks when Hien’s eyes find his, begging him for understanding, for more time, too it seems.

Then, Thancred shakes the amalgamation of questions forming in his mind and once again rises a bit from where he is kneeling to wrap an arm around Hien’s shoulders, coaxing him back against his chest, tilting his chin up slightly to allow Hien to fit himself against his neck again, having realized it to be a source of calm for him whenever he does so.

“I’m sorry.” Thancred says, because there is little else that comes to mind right now. “You should never have had to go through that. Those people are monsters.” For a moment his hold tightens, a wave of protectiveness and most of all white hot anger at the faceless group of people capable of such cruelty overcomes him. His free hand curls into a fist as he thinks back on what he saw in the forest. Judging by the chains what Hien is telling him right now is likely only the tip of the iceberg of the torture he was subjected to. His teeth grind against eachother, his body tenses. God, he wants to punch something.

But then, he feels Hien nuzzle against his throat and he instantly deflates. His fingers uncurl from his palm and he readjusts his hold, now wrapping both arms around Hien, beginning to gently comb his fingers through his hair.

“You can stay here for now if you want.” He offers after a while of them simply sitting there again and finds it is a genuine offer, not born from mere sympathy, but also an almost irrational want to have Hien trust him, to know this space to be a safe one to recover.

“Wolf and human for that matter.” He adds, suddenly afraid Hien is subjecting himself to his human form for his sake more than his own. “…Whatever is easier.”

Thancred tries for a smile as he leans back, but it is still a little wobbly with the newest bit of agitation just overcome. His gaze briefly flickers to Hien’s hair, his hand keeping up the gentle motions within. It prompts another question, but this time he does voice it.

“Let me wash your hair?”

“ Hunters, “ Hien rasps out, but doesn’t elaborate, already feeling drained from just that little bit he shared, the unpleasant memories that came with. Mayhap in some days he can think to say more, explain not every family of hunters is as zealous, or as cruel as the one that caught him ( that killed his entire pack ), that they are supposed to exist to take care of those few supernatural creatures too dangerous to let loose, those that went feral, or rogue. 

All that matters right now is that Thancred got him out. No matter the depth of his loss and the grief it carries with it, Hien is grateful to have been spared what would have likely been a painful, drawn out end. Grateful too, for the anger Thancred is showing on his behalf. Not just that, but he has been offered sanctuary here, in this home, with this man who has shown him more kindness and grace and care than he ever could have hoped for. Though Hien is under no illusion this would be a permanent solution ━ the for now implying as much ━ it nevertheless unwinds a last knot of tension within his chest. 

He nuzzles gently at Thancred’s throat, relieved when he feels the other relax again as well. It is okay, he wants to say. I will be okay. 

Within him, the wolf radiates its own relief, the comforting warmth of his skin and scent and steady beat of Thancred’s pulse only deepening that sense of belonging and protectiveness. They are both accepted, whatever shape he takes. Whatever else happens, he’ll see to it that nothing hurts Thancred as long as he is there. 

Hien’s eyes raise to meet Thancred’s, still wet and somewhat red-rimmed, clouded with shadows, but he manages a weak smile in return, small and grateful above all. 

What he does next is not as much a conscious decision as it is a deep and abiding want to convey just how much this means, that he is glad to be here, that he is glad it was Thancred who found him. One hand finds the swell of Thancred’s upper arm, the other fitting against the side of his neck where his face just rested to pull them together, forehead against forehead, their noses brushing, breaths mingling. 

His lashes flutter shut, the tightness in his throat easing some more as he feels them breath in tandem after a while, his heart slowing to match Thancred’s own, the first tendrils of a deeper connection forming without his full knowing. His thumb brushes a gentle arc against the line of his jaw and he feels Thancred’s hands stilling and curling tighter in his hair. 

And then, he tilts his head and brushes the chastest, softest of kisses to the man’s lips, one that lasts but the breath of a moment, yet devoid of any romantic or sexual overtones, but one that spells a tender kind of acceptance and understanding. Gratitude most of all. “ You got me out. “

He pulls away, hands moving back into the water, another flicker of a smile before he nods at the earlier question. Thancred stays frozen for another moment and then shakes himself from whatever holds him and soon enough Hien feels himself melt into the feeling of fingers massaging his scalp, caressing his hair. 

“ You talked more, before, “ He speaks up after some time of silence, comfortable if not pensive. He means, of course, the last time they were here, when he was still in his shifted form. “ I liked it. “

The quietest place - From Darkness

I fell into my own trap again. I got out of the house and started walking. No later than six in the morning. The air is cold again, the sun is farther away from earth than it was a few months ago. Hunger dies down with each and every step I take. Long sleeves are my friends again, wool and layers shield me. On my path to nowhere, I found a gift. The quietest morning.

“Ma quando una persona ti tocca l'anima, ti entra nel cuore, vive nei tuoi pensieri e ti tiene compagnia nei sogni, dove pensi di scappare? Puoi nasconderti dove vuoi, puoi cercare di restare in silenzio, segretamente, ma l'amore quando arriva non esiste nascondiglio in cui non possa arrivare.”

Angel of the Wolf

'And as "The Witching Hour" approaches… Here she is, by herself. But never alone, as he is always and forever with her. Her Immortal Angel of the Wolf.' A witching free verse #poem by @_Spirit_Wolf_ #poetry #thoughts #writingcommunity

The Wolf Moon falls upon us in her beauty and majesty.His beauty is unsurpassed by all who have come beforeor after.The haunting eyes of emerald green,and long luxurious fur; so dark as this night. The spellhis song casts is immeasurable, unimaginable. Fromdarkness she fell into this night.Into his arms she fell.Such a cruel joke it would seem; as he is alreadygone, but actually perfection with…

"To be honest i don't think it is that complicated.Most of the people i killed clearly deserved it.Especially those from the Meero Orphanage."

The alien witch simply couldn't understand why this girl couldn't stand blood as for her it was something quite usual.

"You get used to the blood after a while."

“It’s…..complicated.” she’d seen a lot of blood, most from wounds she’d inflicted upon others, but some of them… some of them didn’t deserve it

Pig - From Darkness

The head stared at me on the ground, lifeless. It stared right through my soul, it wanted to talk to me, to laugh not in a cruel way, it wanted to laugh with me. In a split second it told me life wasn’t meaningless and neither was death to just take it easy and laugh through tough times cause in the end we all end up having the same worth. In the end, values and morals mean nothing, all that’s important is to exist still and give back what we took when we were able to breathe. The Pig got to smile one last time, finally, when I took his picture. “Have the nicest day, young fellow and please, think less”.

I've been trying to work on a simple necklace design to show my solidarity both as a woman and a citizen of the world. To show that I value my health and healthcare choices and I worry about a world where women can't make decisions about their lives and bodies. This piece encompasses the female reproductive system and I hope isn't offensive... apologies in advance! #insolidarity #mypeople #mycrazy #love #hope #fromdarkness (at Fernandina Beach, Florida)
