Before anyone gets on to me about this, this happens to be part of a virtual season of Power Rangers that I started about two or so years ago. It contains one completed season and a small preview of the next season (I haven't started that yet) and it's currently one of the projects I hope to do in the near future, when C2D is finished.
Check this out if you want and if I get feedback from this, I'll post ep 2 later. Thanks.
With regards, Devious.

Earth, 8050
Wasteland. A vast wasteland is what has become of Earth. No longer does any skyscraper buildings stand. There are no city parks, no grass, not even any bodies of water any longer. Dust fills the air as well as covers the ground. Earth has become known as the wasteland of the rebels.
Being the wasteland of the rebels is not a good trait for Earth simply because the ruler and supreme emperor of the entire universe for over the past three millenniums has made Earth his domain, the one place where he controls everything. It has also makes it difficult for any who would dare oppose him to strategize any type of attack against him here.
Over the last hundred years, semi large resistance of humans have surfaced to challenge the rule of the current supreme emperor of the universe. This rebellion started with only a few human slaves who wanted to gain freedom any way they could. The two slaves, Joshua Riley and Jonea Phoenix, started gathering other slaves who wished for a better life to join in and, before long, word of a underground rebellion had begun. Through the years, more members of the human race joined with the hope that something better could be within reach.
But, alas, even with the ten thousand members the rebellion had, they were no match for the power of the supreme emperor, the being simply known as the Shroud.
The Shroud first came to power in the year 5000 when he suddenly appeared outside Earth's atmosphere inside of a massive ship full of his super soldiers. At the time, Earth was a thriving planet that had been living in world peace for more than three millenniums. Millions of people lived and thrived on Earth and Earth had just completed the designs for colonization for the moon. Things were going pretty good for Earth.
But that all changed when the Shroud arrived. His massive army attacked Earth with a vengeance. Millions of Shroud's attack ships attacked all the most populated cities of the planet, annihilating every building and killing every human being in sight. Shroud's super soldiers, led by his generals, were next to be unleashed. The citizens who survived the first attack were then eliminated by the blasters that the super soldiers had. The same went for all other populated places on the planet until all of the planet Earth was wiped out. There were no longer buildings, cities, etc. For some reason or another, the Shroud saw fit to eliminate to use his firepower and burn out all bodies of water. From the four oceans, to the seas, rivers, lakes, ponds, and streams. All bodies of water were wiped out. Within the year, plant life was gone and the planet was slowly wasting away from there.
Atop the highest point on Earth lay the Shroud's personal base, the Shroud's Palace. Like most gothic palaces, the Shroud's palace was dark, made of concrete and rock with the slopes and angles shaped throughout the outside and the inside of the palace. Inside was not much different. The throne room was in the center of the palace on the top level. Steam and smoke filled the floor. In the center of the throne room lie the stone and concrete made throne. And on that throne sat the Shroud, the supreme ruler of the universe. The Shroud is not a very large or tall person. He stands about five feet tall and his skin is ghastly white and pale. His small body is covered with a dark cape with a hood that rises over his head and covers the upper part of his face. His nose, cheeks, and mouth are the only part of his face that remains uncovered by his hood.
Kneeling on one knee in front of him is the Shroud's most trusted servant. Marauder, like Shroud, has a cape with a hood over his body. The hood is down off of Marauder's head and he is revealed. Face tattooed black and red with horns embedded throughout his head, the Marauder is the most powerful warrior in the universe. Equipped with a double bladed light sabre, Marauder has led the attacks for the Shroud no matter where the object is. Whatever planet has been aimed at, Marauder has led the armies in to conquer in the Shroud's name.
"My master," Marauder said, "everything has been prepared. The destroyers are ready for the journey. Are you ready, my master?"
The Shroud's dark and mysterious eyes scanned Marauder's face for a few moments before he answered. "I have been ready for this journey for a long time, Marauder. Our mission will not fail. The past is ours."
The Shroud's eyes flicked away from Marauder's face as he stood up off his throne and began to walk towards the exit chamber of the throne room. Marauder followed silently, knowing that if he spoke without being spoken to could get him destroyed. Many of the Shroud's generals have made that mistake before.
Just three Earth weeks prior, the Shroud's scientific research team had discovered the secret to mastering time travel and Shroud had devised the perfect plan. The Shroud decided to conquer Earth at an earlier year than when he originally conquered it. His goal was to take all of his massive army into the past, to the year 2019, and begin conquering the universe, starting with Earth.
Although the Shroud never makes many mistakes, he acknowledged the fact that he did make one mistake when he conquered Earth. Wiping the Earth of civilization was a mistake. After destroying the planet and reducing it to nothing more than a wasteland, things had started to get boring for Shroud. For the past thousand years, the Shroud yearned for something more. After learning of his team's discovery of time travel mastery, he came up with a master plan. He planned to travel back and, when he conquers the Earth of the past, he would correct the mistake he made when he conquered Earth originally.
Now, the only thing that lay ahead is to succeed in his mission.

Earth, 2019
Washington D.C., as it has always been, is a city that holds the largest amount of politicians in all of the United States. The past twenty years, though, have kept the mainly snobbish and selfish bureaucratic men and women very busy. It began in 2004. In the year 2004, the President at the time, George W Bush, along with former Vice President Al Gore, who decided to rerun for the Presidency, were defeated by William Price.
President William Price immediately set in motion a sequence of events that would lead to today's meeting between the world leaders. William Price first signed a document that would give equal rights to all ethnical groups, all groups, no matter the color, sexual orientation, or class. All citizens of America would be equal in the job market.
Needless to say, there were racial uprisings after the document was signed. Riots broke out and martial law had to be declared by President Price. And all that happened within the first year. Months would pass before everything died down and the decisions that President Price would make improved his approval by the country.
In 2008, David Dawson Wells was nominated by the Republican party to be their candidate against President Price. But, as things turned out, the country's opinion of the President was so strong that the end polls were 82% to 18% in favor of William Price. President Price spent the next four years continuing to improve the country with several bills and laws that were more fair to the people than any law had been before.
All the while of being President, William Price was helping his daughter, Devlyn Fellows Price, get ready for her place in life. Devlyn had been schooling Devlyn so that, if she so chose, she could follow in his footsteps and run for the Presidency. After much discussion and some arguments, Devlyn decided to run for the presidency in the year 2012 when William Price couldn't rerun again.
Since her election to Presidency, Devlyn Fellows Price has continued what her father started with the laws for equality for all citizens. Only, she expanded the horizons that her father started. Whereas William Price wanted equality for all American citizens, Devlyn Price's goal was equality for all men and women and children on the planet. All the while she has had a daughter of her own to raise alone. Devlyn Price, since her election, had put all her time into getting to the point that the world is at on this day. In less than an hour, President Devlyn Fellows Price will meet in a conference room with the other world leaders to outline and sign a joint peace treaty to bring about world peace for all of the Earth.
Knock. Knock.
Two soft taps against the door to the residency brought the president, Devlyn Price, out of her thoughts. In walked a man in a crisp, brand new, business suit. The man was of average height, dark brown hair that was situated to the left side of his scalp, and wearing a small frame of eye glasses. Eyes that were hazel and intent watched her. His clean shaven face looked at Devlyn.
"Madam President, it's time. The world leaders are waiting." the man said.
Looking at Devlyn, Roger had to admire her. Devlyn Price was a very beautiful woman. Long dark raven colored hair, intense blue eyes, and a body kept well in shape, Devlyn was admired by both men and women. Long legs used to hard workouts with a toned and tanned waist, Devlyn Price knew at an early age that people would ask her out constantly. She just was never interested.
Devlyn nodded, "Thank you Roger. Lead the way." Devlyn advised her Chief of Staff, Roger Blake. Devlyn and Roger had known each other since their days at Stanford, where they both studied Pre Law. After Devlyn decided to run for the Presidency, she came to Roger to be her campaign manager. And then, later, to be her Chief of Staff after she was elected.
Now, as Roger Blake led her down the long corridors and hallways in the White House, Devlyn couldn't help but admire her friend for sticking by her, even when things were rough. Passing others in the halls, people, Devlyn reflected, always wondered why she and Roger had never hooked up for a date. Some people always speculated about their relationship.
Only she and Roger knew the truth, though. The truth was that Devlyn Price never dated Roger in their college days because she preferred to date women, rather than men. Not many people knew that fact about her life. She was advised earlier in her life to keep that out of the public eye until things were better for the gay and lesbian community.
At last, Roger entered a large room with a oval shaped wooden table at the center. Seated around the table were men and women from all over the planet. The Queen of England was there, as was member of Parliament from Great Britain. Other world leaders were there as well. Devlyn smiled at them as she took her seat at the head of the table.
"Well, first of all, I would like to thank all of you for making this journey here so that this can be done." President Price began, "I know and understand that this has been a difficult transition for some of you to accept, but it's necessary. If we, as a people, are to move forward and make that next step towards equality that my father began, world peace must be signed. Petty differences between our countries have caused wars and we don't need to ever go to war again. In front of you is a manila folder. Inside the folder is the peace treaty. I ask that you go through the treaty, page by page, sentence by sentence, word for word, and if you find something you don't agree with for your country's benefit, let's discuss it. Otherwise, we can sign these treaties and move forward in this planet's equality."
A moment's silence later, the world leaders began to read the treaty.
*****
A spirit watches from a remote location. This familiar spirit watches the activities going on around the world he used to inhabit. This spirit knows that in less than three days, the Earth will undergo it's greatest threat, a mysterious evil entity from the future. Three days until the possible end of all life on Earth as they know it.
The spirit had been watching the activities of the Earth for the past few years, Watching as the different countries of the world stepped one step closer to that last level that would finally bring equality to all the citizens of the planet. But, as it always does, good things come to an end. This old spirit has lived his life knowing this fact and experiencing that often.
But, try as he might, the spirit knew that world peace would not last long. Which brought up the reason why he was standing in the middle of a secluded desert, far away from any type of civilization in all directions. Going over the reasons, there was truly only one why he chose this exact position. Long ago, many years ago, he existed here, inside the confines of a plasma tube, and assisted a group of young men and women in the struggle against evil.
What had started a mere battle against Rita Repulsa had eventually led to tougher battles with Lord Zedd and then warring against the Machine Empire. It had taken the pirate known as Divatox to finally show him that the men and women he had met as children were now adults with their lives ahead of them. So, from his home world, he brought the next level of Power Rangers forward by letting the people he knew as children pass their powers onward to new Rangers.
Then, he had been captured by Dark Spectre, the supreme being of darkness. Dark Spectre's plan had been to drain him of his powers so that Dark Spectre would be invincible. But, alas, there were Power Rangers who were out there to save him. And, to his ultimate surprise and wonder, the old rangers that he had left had joined up with a new leader, Andros, to become a team of rangers even stronger than before.
But still, things had not turned out well. Just as it seemed that the universe was going to be ruled by Astronema, this spirit asked Andros to do the unthinkable, sacrifice him to save it. It was the ultimate sacrifice that this spirit could make. But he knew he had to. The universe's future depended on it. And Andros did what was asked, no matter how much it hurt him inside, he broke the plasma tube to release his energy to destroy all evil beings. And that was Zordon's sacrifice.
Zordon's sacrifice was of the physical realm. But, although dead, his spirit could not rest simply because there was still good to be done. All the evil in the universe had been destroyed, but Zordon knew, that one day, an evil would arise that would challenge the peace that had been established throughout the universe since his departing. And now, Zordon was sure, that time had come.
And as the rangers of the beginning had passed the torch onto a younger team, the next generation of Power Rangers must take up the fight and join in the impressive list of names of former rangers who had joined the fight and done the good that made even Zordon proud. And standing here in the middle of the desert, Zordon knew who the next generation of Power Rangers would be.
Using the powers that made the wise sage Zordon the strongest wizard in the known universe, he began the construction of the new base of operations for the Power Rangers.

Derek Oliver dribbled the black and red basketball on the hard concrete next to his parents home with serious intent concentration. Looking up at the basketball hoop locked in place above the garage, he made his aim and shot the ball out of his hands and watched as the basketball whistled through the air and went through the net in the classic 'nothing but net' style.
Picking up the basketball again, Derek walked back to the same spot he was at before. Derek Oliver, like his father, was almost six feet tall with dark brown eyes. Today, he wore a red tank top with the Angel Grove school logo embedded in the center of it. A pair of exercise shorts completed his outfit. His arms were muscular, proof of lifting weights very often. He had short, blonde hair and a baseball cap turned backwards over his short hair. Derek knew at an early age that he would be the athletic type.
Earlier in his life, he had watched his father lift weights in the weight room that was put into the basement of the house. Seeing his father do it a lot helped him decide on lifting weights. He started lifting weights when he was fifteen and now, three years later, he was glad that he kept himself in shape. Being in good shape helped him get on the basketball team when he was a sophomore. After a bad first year in basketball, he began to improve greatly and quickly became one of the stars of the team. He had girls swooning over him, trying to get his attention, but he was only interested in one girl, but she was his best friend.
All in all, life was going pretty good. He had just graduated from high school two weeks ago and he had been spending the last two weeks finding the right place near Angel Grove University to move to. He had already been accepted into AGU earlier this year and was anxiously awaiting the college life. Especially after learning that his best friend Casey was going to attend as well. He was still trying to muster up enough guts to even ask her out. Now, all he was doing was waiting for his parents to get back so that he could tell them of the place he found downtown.
The ringing of the telephone in the living room tore him out of his thoughts as he set the basketball down on one of the front steps as he headed inside the living room to answer it. Picking up the receiver, he put it to his ear.
"Yeah, Oliver residence."
"Derek!" a feminine voice said from the other end.
"Case," Derek said, smiling, "I was just thinking about you."
"Derek, are you watching the news right now?" Casey Hammond asked.
"No, actually I'm waiting for my folks so I can tell them about the place you helped me find, why?"
"Because there's a Presidential address fixing to air." Casey responded to her best friend.
"Why in the world would I want to listen to that?"
"I think it's going to be a huge announcement. I'm watching it now, turn your tv on. I'll be over after it's over." Casey said and before he could say anything else, she disconnected.
Grabbing the remote, Derek turned the television onto CNN and turned the volume up to a hearable level. On the screen was the Press Secretary for the President, Selena McGuire. "And now ladies and gentleman, the President of the United States."
President Devlyn Fellows Price then stepped in front of the screen at the usual spot for the President. "I will try to make this brief. I have two major announcements to make. The first, I hope, will be positive for the citizens of the United States. The second may or may not be positive for us. Please keep a hold of your questions until after I have made these announcements.
As you all know, I have been meeting with the other joint world leaders in locked meetings. The purpose of those meetings were to construct a peace treaty between us all so that Earth could have what it's never had before, world peace. I am eager and pleased to announce that, last night, the other joint world leader and myself have signed the Earth Treaty. This document, over the next few years, will develop working relations to give full equality to all men and women of this planet. Finally, the United States will have world peace with the other countries of the world.
Now, the smile Devlyn had on her face vanished. The other announcement that I have to make is that our satellites have discovered something outside the Milky Way galaxy. We don't know yet what this means. Right now, NASA is calling it a space anomaly. NASA has been keeping a close eye on this anomaly and whenever we know more, I will update the citizens of America of it. Thank you. Now, I can take your questions."
Derek turned the tv off after the press began to question the President. Derek Oliver was shocked at what the Presidential address was about. First of all, there was going to be world peace for all of the Earth. That's something he and his father had always argued about. His father held steadfast to his belief that Earth would gain world peace one day. Derek, on the other hand, believed that there was too much diversity and negative feelings for the people of Earth to ever reach an understanding that would bring about world peace. It just would never happen. And now, learning of some anomaly outside the galaxy, that was truly astounding. Not to mention the fact that this anomaly could be something evil. Lord knows Earth has seen it as many times in the past. The fact that there had no evil attacks from evil forces in the last eighteen years just added to Derek's belief that this anomaly may not be what it appears.
Shaking those thoughts out of his head, Derek went outside to wait for, either his parents or his best friend.
*****
Time is a tricky element. You can have a lot of it and do many things, or you can have so little of it that you can't do anything. Time is also tricky in that if one has mastered time travel, you can change the way the future is shaped by changing something in the past. A paradox, as it has been called before. Changing a sequence of events that exists in one timeline can destroy the current timeline the universe stands on, creating a gap in the space time continuum. And by doing that, you can rewrite history by changing it.
And that is the reason the Shroud has come here. He has come with his army to reshape history to his liking. The space anomaly that was created, the Shroud knows, is a opening in the space time continuum, a gap where all that is inside that gap cannot be touched by the changes that occur in history. Knowing this, the Shroud has placed his central base here within the gap.
Now, the Shroud stands on the lowest level of one of his Destroyer ships before the three generals he plans to send with the super soldiers to begin the invasion of Earth. The first is a robot that the Shroud himself wanted built. His scientific genius who has led battles before and proven his viciousness on the battlefield. The Shroud named him Frax. The second general, the one in the middle, is a freak of nature. A being that Marauder's soldiers found dwelling outside the palace. The Shroud saw in him a ruthless warrior with an insatiable appetite for destruction. He was perfect for the Shroud. After giving him the proper uniform and training him in battle, he became the ultimate general. Shroud learned his name was Ransik. And the third was his favorite, the being he trained since he was a child, Marauder. Every invasion the Shroud has ever began has been led by Marauder simply because other than being vicious and ruthless and maniacal, Marauder has the perfect military mind. A perfect strategist. No one has ever been able to compete against him in hand to hand combat.
"You three know what must be done." the Shroud said slowly. "You all know how the invasion process goes. Travel to the city Angel Grove of Earth, begin invading the streets, kill any human that moves, leave no survivors. I have the perfect monster prepared to destroy the buildings and structures. Don't fail me." the Shroud ordered and watched as they nodded their heads before turning and heading towards the teleportation room. With his three favorite generals leading his ground troops and the perfect monster to attack the rest of the city, his message would be sent to the world leaders. Surrender or die.
*****
Years from now, the citizens of Angel Grove would look back to this moment and think 'it started with a flash'. Because, in essence, that's how it started in the beginning. Just moments ago, there was a sudden flash of light in the sky and, as the people looked up, hundreds of different objects started to fall to the ground below.
Throughout the city, the Shroud's super soldier cyborgs, his evil genius Frax called them Cyclobots once, but he liked to just call them his super soldiers, began swarming the streets of Angel Grove. The citizens just didn't know what hit them. The Cyclobots began attacking with a vicious intensity, using their blades to slice deep lacerations into people's chest, splattering blood on the concrete ground. People were dying and others were running for their lives.
On one street, a young women with long, straight, blonde hair and green eyes was running down a lonely aisle with three Cyclobots chasing her down. She wore a pair of skin tight black jeans, a shiny leather jacket with a loose yellow blouse tucked into the jeans. A golden cross adorned her necklace and droplets of sweat cascaded over her golden skin. She was breathing moderately, despite the chasing she was being forced into. Her name was Renee Roslyn Price and she was the daughter of the President of the United States.
Renee Price always liked to think she was a self made person, someone who makes her own decisions. But she knew that, with her mother being the President, that couldn't be true. Being the daughter of the President is the reason she's not currently in Washington. Since her mother's election, Renee has found herself getting more and more frustrated with her lack of privacy. She could be walking through the White House lawn and there would be a couple of agents near her. She could be out on dates and there would be a car with two agents following her. At first, she thought she could accept it as a part of her mother's life. But, before long, frustration and anger could no longer be held back.
That anger that she could no longer hide boiled to the surface at her mother only two days earlier.
"Renee!" Devlyn had sighed, "how can you say that?"
"Because it's the truth. The past couple of years have been convenient to you. I don't have privacy." Renee had told her mother.
"You do. Renee, I've told you before that it's only for your safety. Besides, I told them last week to stop following you round the clock."
"Having my own privacy only lasts as long as it's convenient for you. The moment there's some big thing happening, there's Yogi and Boo Bear right there behind me. And I'm sick of it. I want to have a normal life." Renee had then literally screamed at Devlyn.
Tears had welled up in the President's eyes. She and Renee had always been close before becoming President. More and more arguments had started between them since she first was elected. And never had her daughter screamed at her. "I don't know what else to tell you. I have my job and sometimes, that will effect yours." she had said.
"Then, there's nothing left to say." Renee had responded and then she had headed to her quarters and packed up what belongings she wanted and stuffed them into her duffel and headed out of the White House, towards the limo that was provided for her transportation.
Behind her, Devlyn and Chief of Staff Roger Blake stood. Tears had pooled out of Devlyn's blue eyes and Roger just stood there for a moment. "Do you want me to stop her?"
She shook her head. "No. If I make her stay, she'll hate me. I don't want that. Maybe some time apart will do us both some good. Just, keep track of where she goes, but don't appoint agents to follow her."
And so, now, running down a single aisle by three Cyclobots, Renee's fear began to vanquish as the realization that these beings were talking away what she wanted most, a single life. With renewed vigor, she turned around and faced them head on after reaching a dead end in the alley. She looked at them as they approached.
"You want a piece of me, c'mon!" she yelled.
The Cyclobot on the left nodded to the other two and they advanced. Before they could react, Renee stepped forward and whipped her right leg out and smacked the center Cyclobot in the helmet, knocking it down. She followed that up by jumping into the air and whipping her legs apart and smacking the other two Cyclobots in the center of their face masks. They too fell to the ground. Before they could react, she grabbed one of their blade blasters and opened fire on all three of them.
Dropping the weapon after the damage was done, Renee jumped over the wooden fence that had stopped her run. Landing on the other side, she noticed that the more rural neighborhoods were ahead. She also noticed that it would be a good while before she reached them Noticing that more of the Cyclobots were swarming through the complexes close to the neighborhoods, she felt herself compelled to head in that direction.
*****
"Derek, look out!!" Casey Hammond yelled to her best friend as she threw a wooden broom handle at the Cyclobot just behind him. He propelled itself through the Cyclobot's outer casing and ceased it's activation. It fell with a thump. Behind him, a young black man had just finished a Cyclobot with a thunderous sidekick that took it down. He was wearing a pair of blue jeans with with a blue tank top on. Turning around, he rushed over to his friends.
"You guys ok."
"Yeah, we're fine Lamont." Derek smiled at his friend.
Lamont Ryan was the spitting image of his father, the legendary Blue Space Ranger TJ Ryan. With the exception of his mother's lighter complexion of the skin, Lamont carried all genetic traits of his father. Tragedy had struck Lamont today. When the attack had first started, nearly three hours ago, a squadron of Cyclobots had stormed into the Ryan's home and before Lamont could do anything, he had watched a being dressed in freaky armor pull a sword out of his skin and thrust it first into his father, TJ Ryan, then into his mother, Cassie Chan Ryan. Lamont had been in the staircase when it happened. The being he had heard a Cyclobot refer to as Ransik had then left after checking the house for others. Lamont had come out from under the staircase and rushed to his parents side. His mother had already died, but his father was still breathing, only just barely.
"Lamont." Ryan had gasped.
"D....dad." Lamont had whispered, not believing what he was seeing. "Yo....you're going to make it."
"Nn.....no, I'm not. Ryan, you must.......be strong. Fight back. Do.....don't let...."
"Let what dad?!" Lamont had almost been hysterical as he had held his father's hand.
"Don't let....them win." TJ had finished before his eyes drifted shut for the final time. Lamont had silently cried for the next hour before he left his house to find Derek and Casey, his unspoken promise to his father acknowledged.
Now, the three of them were fighting for their lives. On the street where the Olivers had lived, Cyclobots were swarming down the streets on both sides and killing all people in the houses. Derek, Casey, and Lamont were the only ones who remained. Cyclobots had now just spotted them running in between a set of houses and was chasing them down. The three had just rounded the corner of a neighbor's house when they ran right into two people. They put on defensive stances at first, not knowing who it was.
In front of them were two people, a young man and a young woman. The guy was dressed in black jeans and a black t-shirt with white trimmings on the outer layers. He had long dark hair and grey eyes. The other Casey recognized at once.
"Hey," she said excitedly, "your Renee Price, the President's daughter."
Renee nodded once. "Yeah, I am. But, shouldn't we be getting away from them first." she pointed behind them, where Cyclobots were getting closer.
"Shit," Derek cursed, "she's right. We can introduce later. Right now, we need to get out of here."
Derek, Casey, Lamont, Renee, and the fifth individual all started running down the street, being trailed by a swarm of Cyclobots. Their footsteps were loud on the ashphalt ground as they ran as fast as they could. They were running up the road, which was going up a pretty steep hill. The Cyclobots were keeping up the pace they were going and were getting a little closer to them, despite the hill's problems. The five had just finished getting to the top of the hill when they had to stop dead in their tracks.
On the other side of the hill and down the road about thirty feet was standing Ransik with at least fifty more Cyclobots, spaced apart to make escape impossible. They were surrounded and there was no way out.
"What now?" Casey asked, worried. Her hand found Derek's in voiceless support as they all knew the end had come.
"This is the end for you, pathetic humans!!" Ransik roared, raising his arm in a charge fashion. "Destroy them!!"
To Be Continued....

Earth, 8050
Wasteland. A vast wasteland is what has become of Earth. No longer does any skyscraper buildings stand. There are no city parks, no grass, not even any bodies of water any longer. Dust fills the air as well as covers the ground. Earth has become known as the wasteland of the rebels.
Being the wasteland of the rebels is not a good trait for Earth simply because the ruler and supreme emperor of the entire universe for over the past three millenniums has made Earth his domain, the one place where he controls everything. It has also makes it difficult for any who would dare oppose him to strategize any type of attack against him here.
Over the last hundred years, semi large resistance of humans have surfaced to challenge the rule of the current supreme emperor of the universe. This rebellion started with only a few human slaves who wanted to gain freedom any way they could. The two slaves, Joshua Riley and Jonea Phoenix, started gathering other slaves who wished for a better life to join in and, before long, word of a underground rebellion had begun. Through the years, more members of the human race joined with the hope that something better could be within reach.
But, alas, even with the ten thousand members the rebellion had, they were no match for the power of the supreme emperor, the being simply known as the Shroud.
The Shroud first came to power in the year 5000 when he suddenly appeared outside Earth's atmosphere inside of a massive ship full of his super soldiers. At the time, Earth was a thriving planet that had been living in world peace for more than three millenniums. Millions of people lived and thrived on Earth and Earth had just completed the designs for colonization for the moon. Things were going pretty good for Earth.
But that all changed when the Shroud arrived. His massive army attacked Earth with a vengeance. Millions of Shroud's attack ships attacked all the most populated cities of the planet, annihilating every building and killing every human being in sight. Shroud's super soldiers, led by his generals, were next to be unleashed. The citizens who survived the first attack were then eliminated by the blasters that the super soldiers had. The same went for all other populated places on the planet until all of the planet Earth was wiped out. There were no longer buildings, cities, etc. For some reason or another, the Shroud saw fit to eliminate to use his firepower and burn out all bodies of water. From the four oceans, to the seas, rivers, lakes, ponds, and streams. All bodies of water were wiped out. Within the year, plant life was gone and the planet was slowly wasting away from there.
Atop the highest point on Earth lay the Shroud's personal base, the Shroud's Palace. Like most gothic palaces, the Shroud's palace was dark, made of concrete and rock with the slopes and angles shaped throughout the outside and the inside of the palace. Inside was not much different. The throne room was in the center of the palace on the top level. Steam and smoke filled the floor. In the center of the throne room lie the stone and concrete made throne. And on that throne sat the Shroud, the supreme ruler of the universe. The Shroud is not a very large or tall person. He stands about five feet tall and his skin is ghastly white and pale. His small body is covered with a dark cape with a hood that rises over his head and covers the upper part of his face. His nose, cheeks, and mouth are the only part of his face that remains uncovered by his hood.
Kneeling on one knee in front of him is the Shroud's most trusted servant. Marauder, like Shroud, has a cape with a hood over his body. The hood is down off of Marauder's head and he is revealed. Face tattooed black and red with horns embedded throughout his head, the Marauder is the most powerful warrior in the universe. Equipped with a double bladed light sabre, Marauder has led the attacks for the Shroud no matter where the object is. Whatever planet has been aimed at, Marauder has led the armies in to conquer in the Shroud's name.
"My master," Marauder said, "everything has been prepared. The destroyers are ready for the journey. Are you ready, my master?"
The Shroud's dark and mysterious eyes scanned Marauder's face for a few moments before he answered. "I have been ready for this journey for a long time, Marauder. Our mission will not fail. The past is ours."
The Shroud's eyes flicked away from Marauder's face as he stood up off his throne and began to walk towards the exit chamber of the throne room. Marauder followed silently, knowing that if he spoke without being spoken to could get him destroyed. Many of the Shroud's generals have made that mistake before.
Just three Earth weeks prior, the Shroud's scientific research team had discovered the secret to mastering time travel and Shroud had devised the perfect plan. The Shroud decided to conquer Earth at an earlier year than when he originally conquered it. His goal was to take all of his massive army into the past, to the year 2019, and begin conquering the universe, starting with Earth.
Although the Shroud never makes many mistakes, he acknowledged the fact that he did make one mistake when he conquered Earth. Wiping the Earth of civilization was a mistake. After destroying the planet and reducing it to nothing more than a wasteland, things had started to get boring for Shroud. For the past thousand years, the Shroud yearned for something more. After learning of his team's discovery of time travel mastery, he came up with a master plan. He planned to travel back and, when he conquers the Earth of the past, he would correct the mistake he made when he conquered Earth originally.
Now, the only thing that lay ahead is to succeed in his mission.

Earth, 2019
Washington D.C., as it has always been, is a city that holds the largest amount of politicians in all of the United States. The past twenty years, though, have kept the mainly snobbish and selfish bureaucratic men and women very busy. It began in 2004. In the year 2004, the President at the time, George W Bush, along with former Vice President Al Gore, who decided to rerun for the Presidency, were defeated by William Price.
President William Price immediately set in motion a sequence of events that would lead to today's meeting between the world leaders. William Price first signed a document that would give equal rights to all ethnical groups, all groups, no matter the color, sexual orientation, or class. All citizens of America would be equal in the job market.
Needless to say, there were racial uprisings after the document was signed. Riots broke out and martial law had to be declared by President Price. And all that happened within the first year. Months would pass before everything died down and the decisions that President Price would make improved his approval by the country.
In 2008, David Dawson Wells was nominated by the Republican party to be their candidate against President Price. But, as things turned out, the country's opinion of the President was so strong that the end polls were 82% to 18% in favor of William Price. President Price spent the next four years continuing to improve the country with several bills and laws that were more fair to the people than any law had been before.
All the while of being President, William Price was helping his daughter, Devlyn Fellows Price, get ready for her place in life. Devlyn had been schooling Devlyn so that, if she so chose, she could follow in his footsteps and run for the Presidency. After much discussion and some arguments, Devlyn decided to run for the presidency in the year 2012 when William Price couldn't rerun again.
Since her election to Presidency, Devlyn Fellows Price has continued what her father started with the laws for equality for all citizens. Only, she expanded the horizons that her father started. Whereas William Price wanted equality for all American citizens, Devlyn Price's goal was equality for all men and women and children on the planet. All the while she has had a daughter of her own to raise alone. Devlyn Price, since her election, had put all her time into getting to the point that the world is at on this day. In less than an hour, President Devlyn Fellows Price will meet in a conference room with the other world leaders to outline and sign a joint peace treaty to bring about world peace for all of the Earth.
Knock. Knock.
Two soft taps against the door to the residency brought the president, Devlyn Price, out of her thoughts. In walked a man in a crisp, brand new, business suit. The man was of average height, dark brown hair that was situated to the left side of his scalp, and wearing a small frame of eye glasses. Eyes that were hazel and intent watched her. His clean shaven face looked at Devlyn.
"Madam President, it's time. The world leaders are waiting." the man said.
Looking at Devlyn, Roger had to admire her. Devlyn Price was a very beautiful woman. Long dark raven colored hair, intense blue eyes, and a body kept well in shape, Devlyn was admired by both men and women. Long legs used to hard workouts with a toned and tanned waist, Devlyn Price knew at an early age that people would ask her out constantly. She just was never interested.
Devlyn nodded, "Thank you Roger. Lead the way." Devlyn advised her Chief of Staff, Roger Blake. Devlyn and Roger had known each other since their days at Stanford, where they both studied Pre Law. After Devlyn decided to run for the Presidency, she came to Roger to be her campaign manager. And then, later, to be her Chief of Staff after she was elected.
Now, as Roger Blake led her down the long corridors and hallways in the White House, Devlyn couldn't help but admire her friend for sticking by her, even when things were rough. Passing others in the halls, people, Devlyn reflected, always wondered why she and Roger had never hooked up for a date. Some people always speculated about their relationship.
Only she and Roger knew the truth, though. The truth was that Devlyn Price never dated Roger in their college days because she preferred to date women, rather than men. Not many people knew that fact about her life. She was advised earlier in her life to keep that out of the public eye until things were better for the gay and lesbian community.
At last, Roger entered a large room with a oval shaped wooden table at the center. Seated around the table were men and women from all over the planet. The Queen of England was there, as was member of Parliament from Great Britain. Other world leaders were there as well. Devlyn smiled at them as she took her seat at the head of the table.
"Well, first of all, I would like to thank all of you for making this journey here so that this can be done." President Price began, "I know and understand that this has been a difficult transition for some of you to accept, but it's necessary. If we, as a people, are to move forward and make that next step towards equality that my father began, world peace must be signed. Petty differences between our countries have caused wars and we don't need to ever go to war again. In front of you is a manila folder. Inside the folder is the peace treaty. I ask that you go through the treaty, page by page, sentence by sentence, word for word, and if you find something you don't agree with for your country's benefit, let's discuss it. Otherwise, we can sign these treaties and move forward in this planet's equality."
A moment's silence later, the world leaders began to read the treaty.
*****
A spirit watches from a remote location. This familiar spirit watches the activities going on around the world he used to inhabit. This spirit knows that in less than three days, the Earth will undergo it's greatest threat, a mysterious evil entity from the future. Three days until the possible end of all life on Earth as they know it.
The spirit had been watching the activities of the Earth for the past few years, Watching as the different countries of the world stepped one step closer to that last level that would finally bring equality to all the citizens of the planet. But, as it always does, good things come to an end. This old spirit has lived his life knowing this fact and experiencing that often.
But, try as he might, the spirit knew that world peace would not last long. Which brought up the reason why he was standing in the middle of a secluded desert, far away from any type of civilization in all directions. Going over the reasons, there was truly only one why he chose this exact position. Long ago, many years ago, he existed here, inside the confines of a plasma tube, and assisted a group of young men and women in the struggle against evil.
What had started a mere battle against Rita Repulsa had eventually led to tougher battles with Lord Zedd and then warring against the Machine Empire. It had taken the pirate known as Divatox to finally show him that the men and women he had met as children were now adults with their lives ahead of them. So, from his home world, he brought the next level of Power Rangers forward by letting the people he knew as children pass their powers onward to new Rangers.
Then, he had been captured by Dark Spectre, the supreme being of darkness. Dark Spectre's plan had been to drain him of his powers so that Dark Spectre would be invincible. But, alas, there were Power Rangers who were out there to save him. And, to his ultimate surprise and wonder, the old rangers that he had left had joined up with a new leader, Andros, to become a team of rangers even stronger than before.
But still, things had not turned out well. Just as it seemed that the universe was going to be ruled by Astronema, this spirit asked Andros to do the unthinkable, sacrifice him to save it. It was the ultimate sacrifice that this spirit could make. But he knew he had to. The universe's future depended on it. And Andros did what was asked, no matter how much it hurt him inside, he broke the plasma tube to release his energy to destroy all evil beings. And that was Zordon's sacrifice.
Zordon's sacrifice was of the physical realm. But, although dead, his spirit could not rest simply because there was still good to be done. All the evil in the universe had been destroyed, but Zordon knew, that one day, an evil would arise that would challenge the peace that had been established throughout the universe since his departing. And now, Zordon was sure, that time had come.
And as the rangers of the beginning had passed the torch onto a younger team, the next generation of Power Rangers must take up the fight and join in the impressive list of names of former rangers who had joined the fight and done the good that made even Zordon proud. And standing here in the middle of the desert, Zordon knew who the next generation of Power Rangers would be.
Using the powers that made the wise sage Zordon the strongest wizard in the known universe, he began the construction of the new base of operations for the Power Rangers.

Derek Oliver dribbled the black and red basketball on the hard concrete next to his parents home with serious intent concentration. Looking up at the basketball hoop locked in place above the garage, he made his aim and shot the ball out of his hands and watched as the basketball whistled through the air and went through the net in the classic 'nothing but net' style.
Picking up the basketball again, Derek walked back to the same spot he was at before. Derek Oliver, like his father, was almost six feet tall with dark brown eyes. Today, he wore a red tank top with the Angel Grove school logo embedded in the center of it. A pair of exercise shorts completed his outfit. His arms were muscular, proof of lifting weights very often. He had short, blonde hair and a baseball cap turned backwards over his short hair. Derek knew at an early age that he would be the athletic type.
Earlier in his life, he had watched his father lift weights in the weight room that was put into the basement of the house. Seeing his father do it a lot helped him decide on lifting weights. He started lifting weights when he was fifteen and now, three years later, he was glad that he kept himself in shape. Being in good shape helped him get on the basketball team when he was a sophomore. After a bad first year in basketball, he began to improve greatly and quickly became one of the stars of the team. He had girls swooning over him, trying to get his attention, but he was only interested in one girl, but she was his best friend.
All in all, life was going pretty good. He had just graduated from high school two weeks ago and he had been spending the last two weeks finding the right place near Angel Grove University to move to. He had already been accepted into AGU earlier this year and was anxiously awaiting the college life. Especially after learning that his best friend Casey was going to attend as well. He was still trying to muster up enough guts to even ask her out. Now, all he was doing was waiting for his parents to get back so that he could tell them of the place he found downtown.
The ringing of the telephone in the living room tore him out of his thoughts as he set the basketball down on one of the front steps as he headed inside the living room to answer it. Picking up the receiver, he put it to his ear.
"Yeah, Oliver residence."
"Derek!" a feminine voice said from the other end.
"Case," Derek said, smiling, "I was just thinking about you."
"Derek, are you watching the news right now?" Casey Hammond asked.
"No, actually I'm waiting for my folks so I can tell them about the place you helped me find, why?"
"Because there's a Presidential address fixing to air." Casey responded to her best friend.
"Why in the world would I want to listen to that?"
"I think it's going to be a huge announcement. I'm watching it now, turn your tv on. I'll be over after it's over." Casey said and before he could say anything else, she disconnected.
Grabbing the remote, Derek turned the television onto CNN and turned the volume up to a hearable level. On the screen was the Press Secretary for the President, Selena McGuire. "And now ladies and gentleman, the President of the United States."
President Devlyn Fellows Price then stepped in front of the screen at the usual spot for the President. "I will try to make this brief. I have two major announcements to make. The first, I hope, will be positive for the citizens of the United States. The second may or may not be positive for us. Please keep a hold of your questions until after I have made these announcements.
As you all know, I have been meeting with the other joint world leaders in locked meetings. The purpose of those meetings were to construct a peace treaty between us all so that Earth could have what it's never had before, world peace. I am eager and pleased to announce that, last night, the other joint world leader and myself have signed the Earth Treaty. This document, over the next few years, will develop working relations to give full equality to all men and women of this planet. Finally, the United States will have world peace with the other countries of the world.
Now, the smile Devlyn had on her face vanished. The other announcement that I have to make is that our satellites have discovered something outside the Milky Way galaxy. We don't know yet what this means. Right now, NASA is calling it a space anomaly. NASA has been keeping a close eye on this anomaly and whenever we know more, I will update the citizens of America of it. Thank you. Now, I can take your questions."
Derek turned the tv off after the press began to question the President. Derek Oliver was shocked at what the Presidential address was about. First of all, there was going to be world peace for all of the Earth. That's something he and his father had always argued about. His father held steadfast to his belief that Earth would gain world peace one day. Derek, on the other hand, believed that there was too much diversity and negative feelings for the people of Earth to ever reach an understanding that would bring about world peace. It just would never happen. And now, learning of some anomaly outside the galaxy, that was truly astounding. Not to mention the fact that this anomaly could be something evil. Lord knows Earth has seen it as many times in the past. The fact that there had no evil attacks from evil forces in the last eighteen years just added to Derek's belief that this anomaly may not be what it appears.
Shaking those thoughts out of his head, Derek went outside to wait for, either his parents or his best friend.

Time is a tricky element. You can have a lot of it and do many things, or you can have so little of it that you can't do anything. Time is also tricky in that if one has mastered time travel, you can change the way the future is shaped by changing something in the past. A paradox, as it has been called before. Changing a sequence of events that exists in one timeline can destroy the current timeline the universe stands on, creating a gap in the space time continuum. And by doing that, you can rewrite history by changing it.
And that is the reason the Shroud has come here. He has come with his army to reshape history to his liking. The space anomaly that was created, the Shroud knows, is a opening in the space time continuum, a gap where all that is inside that gap cannot be touched by the changes that occur in history. Knowing this, the Shroud has placed his central base here within the gap.
Now, the Shroud stands on the lowest level of one of his Destroyer ships before the three generals he plans to send with the super soldiers to begin the invasion of Earth. The first is a robot that the Shroud himself wanted built. His scientific genius who has led battles before and proven his viciousness on the battlefield. The Shroud named him Frax. The second general, the one in the middle, is a freak of nature. A being that Marauder's soldiers found dwelling outside the palace. The Shroud saw in him a ruthless warrior with an insatiable appetite for destruction. He was perfect for the Shroud. After giving him the proper uniform and training him in battle, he became the ultimate general. Shroud learned his name was Ransik. And the third was his favorite, the being he trained since he was a child, Marauder. Every invasion the Shroud has ever began has been led by Marauder simply because other than being vicious and ruthless and maniacal, Marauder has the perfect military mind. A perfect strategist. No one has ever been able to compete against him in hand to hand combat.
"You three know what must be done." the Shroud said slowly. "You all know how the invasion process goes. Travel to the city Angel Grove of Earth, begin invading the streets, kill any human that moves, leave no survivors. I have the perfect monster prepared to destroy the buildings and structures. Don't fail me." the Shroud ordered and watched as they nodded their heads before turning and heading towards the teleportation room. With his three favorite generals leading his ground troops and the perfect monster to attack the rest of the city, his message would be sent to the world leaders. Surrender or die.
*****
Years from now, the citizens of Angel Grove would look back to this moment and think 'it started with a flash'. Because, in essence, that's how it started in the beginning. Just moments ago, there was a sudden flash of light in the sky and, as the people looked up, hundreds of different objects started to fall to the ground below.
Throughout the city, the Shroud's super soldier cyborgs, his evil genius Frax called them Cyclobots once, but he liked to just call them his super soldiers, began swarming the streets of Angel Grove. The citizens just didn't know what hit them. The Cyclobots began attacking with a vicious intensity, using their blades to slice deep lacerations into people's chest, splattering blood on the concrete ground. People were dying and others were running for their lives.
On one street, a young women with long, straight, blonde hair and green eyes was running down a lonely aisle with three Cyclobots chasing her down. She wore a pair of skin tight black jeans, a shiny leather jacket with a loose yellow blouse tucked into the jeans. A golden cross adorned her necklace and droplets of sweat cascaded over her golden skin. She was breathing moderately, despite the chasing she was being forced into. Her name was Renee Roslyn Price and she was the daughter of the President of the United States.
Renee Price always liked to think she was a self made person, someone who makes her own decisions. But she knew that, with her mother being the President, that couldn't be true. Being the daughter of the President is the reason she's not currently in Washington. Since her mother's election, Renee has found herself getting more and more frustrated with her lack of privacy. She could be walking through the White House lawn and there would be a couple of agents near her. She could be out on dates and there would be a car with two agents following her. At first, she thought she could accept it as a part of her mother's life. But, before long, frustration and anger could no longer be held back.
That anger that she could no longer hide boiled to the surface at her mother only two days earlier.
"Renee!" Devlyn had sighed, "how can you say that?"
"Because it's the truth. The past couple of years have been convenient to you. I don't have privacy." Renee had told her mother.
"You do. Renee, I've told you before that it's only for your safety. Besides, I told them last week to stop following you round the clock."
"Having my own privacy only lasts as long as it's convenient for you. The moment there's some big thing happening, there's Yogi and Boo Bear right there behind me. And I'm sick of it. I want to have a normal life." Renee had then literally screamed at Devlyn.
Tears had welled up in the President's eyes. She and Renee had always been close before becoming President. More and more arguments had started between them since she first was elected. And never had her daughter screamed at her. "I don't know what else to tell you. I have my job and sometimes, that will effect yours." she had said.
"Then, there's nothing left to say." Renee had responded and then she had headed to her quarters and packed up what belongings she wanted and stuffed them into her duffel and headed out of the White House, towards the limo that was provided for her transportation.
Behind her, Devlyn and Chief of Staff Roger Blake stood. Tears had pooled out of Devlyn's blue eyes and Roger just stood there for a moment. "Do you want me to stop her?"
She shook her head. "No. If I make her stay, she'll hate me. I don't want that. Maybe some time apart will do us both some good. Just, keep track of where she goes, but don't appoint agents to follow her."
And so, now, running down a single aisle by three Cyclobots, Renee's fear began to vanquish as the realization that these beings were talking away what she wanted most, a single life. With renewed vigor, she turned around and faced them head on after reaching a dead end in the alley. She looked at them as they approached.
"You want a piece of me, c'mon!" she yelled.
The Cyclobot on the left nodded to the other two and they advanced. Before they could react, Renee stepped forward and whipped her right leg out and smacked the center Cyclobot in the helmet, knocking it down. She followed that up by jumping into the air and whipping her legs apart and smacking the other two Cyclobots in the center of their face masks. They too fell to the ground. Before they could react, she grabbed one of their blade blasters and opened fire on all three of them.
Dropping the weapon after the damage was done, Renee jumped over the wooden fence that had stopped her run. Landing on the other side, she noticed that the more rural neighborhoods were ahead. She also noticed that it would be a good while before she reached them Noticing that more of the Cyclobots were swarming through the complexes close to the neighborhoods, she felt herself compelled to head in that direction.
*****
"Derek, look out!!" Casey Hammond yelled to her best friend as she threw a wooden broom handle at the Cyclobot just behind him. He propelled itself through the Cyclobot's outer casing and ceased it's activation. It fell with a thump. Behind him, a young black man had just finished a Cyclobot with a thunderous sidekick that took it down. He was wearing a pair of blue jeans with with a blue tank top on. Turning around, he rushed over to his friends.
"You guys ok."
"Yeah, we're fine Lamont." Derek smiled at his friend.
Lamont Ryan was the spitting image of his father, the legendary Blue Space Ranger TJ Ryan. With the exception of his mother's lighter complexion of the skin, Lamont carried all genetic traits of his father. Tragedy had struck Lamont today. When the attack had first started, nearly three hours ago, a squadron of Cyclobots had stormed into the Ryan's home and before Lamont could do anything, he had watched a being dressed in freaky armor pull a sword out of his skin and thrust it first into his father, TJ Ryan, then into his mother, Cassie Chan Ryan. Lamont had been in the staircase when it happened. The being he had heard a Cyclobot refer to as Ransik had then left after checking the house for others. Lamont had come out from under the staircase and rushed to his parents side. His mother had already died, but his father was still breathing, only just barely.
"Lamont." Ryan had gasped.
"D....dad." Lamont had whispered, not believing what he was seeing. "Yo....you're going to make it."
"Nn.....no, I'm not. Ryan, you must.......be strong. Fight back. Do.....don't let...."
"Let what dad?!" Lamont had almost been hysterical as he had held his father's hand.
"Don't let....them win." TJ had finished before his eyes drifted shut for the final time. Lamont had silently cried for the next hour before he left his house to find Derek and Casey, his unspoken promise to his father acknowledged.
Now, the three of them were fighting for their lives. On the street where the Olivers had lived, Cyclobots were swarming down the streets on both sides and killing all people in the houses. Derek, Casey, and Lamont were the only ones who remained. Cyclobots had now just spotted them running in between a set of houses and was chasing them down. The three had just rounded the corner of a neighbor's house when they ran right into two people. They put on defensive stances at first, not knowing who it was.
In front of them were two people, a young man and a young woman. The guy was dressed in black jeans and a black t-shirt with white trimmings on the outer layers. He had long dark hair and grey eyes. The other Casey recognized at once.
"Hey," she said excitedly, "your Renee Price, the President's daughter."
Renee nodded once. "Yeah, I am. But, shouldn't we be getting away from them first." she pointed behind them, where Cyclobots were getting closer.
"Shit," Derek cursed, "she's right. We can introduce later. Right now, we need to get out of here."
Derek, Casey, Lamont, Renee, and the fifth individual all started running down the street, being trailed by a swarm of Cyclobots. Their footsteps were loud on the ashphalt ground as they ran as fast as they could. They were running up the road, which was going up a pretty steep hill. The Cyclobots were keeping up the pace they were going and were getting a little closer to them, despite the hill's problems. The five had just finished getting to the top of the hill when they had to stop dead in their tracks.
On the other side of the hill and down the road about thirty feet was standing Ransik with at least fifty more Cyclobots, spaced apart to make escape impossible. They were surrounded and there was no way out.
"What now?" Casey asked, worried. Her hand found Derek's in voiceless support as they all knew the end had come.
"This is the end for you, pathetic humans!!" Ransik roared, raising his arm in a charge fashion. "Destroy them!!"
To Be Continued....

What do you guys think?
