Prologue.
"Time. Some people can't comprehend the full meaning of that word and what it represents. For them, time is a word that they throw up in idle conversation; use it to measure how fast they get through their meaningless lives with as little fuss as possible. Each to their own, of course. That's their choice, might as well respect it. Because to force them to do something that they do not wish to, well that'd just be wrong. Time, for me it has a different meaning. It's a companion, the vortex of the years are my solace. My people are gone, I am the last of them. Time is the only thing that I have. It is my subject, and I am its lord. Guess that makes me a Timelord. It's not a title I relish, it came to me completely out of the blue. Was given to me by a girl. My story and hers became intertwined, I couldn't help it. We were victims of our own fate."
Looking up from the papers in front of her, the short woman smiled at the audience ahead of her. She had long black hair, wore a yellow t-shirt and blue jeans, as well as a pink leather jacket. She was in her early thirties and wore a gold wedding band around one finger.
"That's my new book, folks, coming very soon," she said, still smiling. "Hope you enjoy it."
Another woman, one wearing a black suit and her white hair pulled back into a ponytail stepped out onto the stage, leading the applause. "Thank you, that's Nahir Sunderland, people. Any questions for her?"
Several hands all came up. Towards the back of the room, a man with blond hair wearing a grey suit and green tie with purple stripes leaned against the rear wall, watching it all happen. The questions were always the boring part for him, not that he didn't enjoy hearing her talk, it was always the other people in the conversation that annoyed him.
Nearby, he heard a door open, the sound of someone arriving late. He glanced up, just out of interest…
NO WAY!
… to see who had come in. Of all the people he knew, the new arrival was probably the last person he'd ever expect to see walk into the convention. Although, technically he wasn't a person at all, so… Long white hair, violet eyes and a suit, the man looked older than he had done the last time Luke Sunderland had seen him. Then again, it was fifteen years. Fifteen years for him, how long for the Conduit? Thousands? Millions? Trillions?
He blinked, his eyes averting from the figure for just a second. And when he opened them again, the figure was gone.
Weird but not unexpected.
His attention went back to his wife on stage, all thoughts of Clarence Ben Al-Zan driven from his mind for the moment. It was probably nothing.
Back in his own environment, Clarence paused to reflect, stroking his chin as he thought back on what he had just seen. Individually, he had been around to check on each of the soldiers he had once asked to do an impossible job for him. Seven humans, Katie Myers, now Roronoa, Duo Roronoa, Xavier Jackson, Ryan Leopard, Nahir Moon, now Sunderland, Luke Sunderland and later Paige Martinez had been asked to stop a threat from their own world, a gang of criminals known as the Coppingers from acquiring ten items he had once hidden across the Verger region. Ten items decidedly not of their world, combined together to create an item capable of rewriting and editing history. The Genesis Rangers had managed to put together most of it, despite a war almost breaking out between the robots of the Coppingers and the Ranger's allies. They managed to find a way to beat their enemies, reclaim the Genesis Book and eventually went back to living their normal lives, their tenure as rangers apparently over.
Of course, that wasn't completely true. Ten years after the downfall of Forsythia and Ortari, the two rogue Ladies of Time who had engineered the Coppinger uprising, Luke Sunderland and Duo Roronoa had been summoned back into the fray to help another group of Poké Rangers, the Lost Zone Rangers in their time of need. It seemed that the work was never done.
Glancing around, he sensed something wasn't quite right, a dull warning at the back of his mind that he couldn't place.
With a sweep of his coat, he vanished again, determined to try and work out what it was.
Because, there was something wrong.
Quite a long time later… The year 5091.
The Night Hawk.
"What the mrek is this thing?" Chebek grunted, he and Blister pulling the large hunk of metal inside the cargo bay of the Night Hawk. "It weighs a damn ton."
"Yeah, you're not wrong," Blister replied, trying to stretch out his weary limbs without putting the metal down. "Why are we doing this when there's a cyborg on board?"
"Or, a mechanical operating system," Techno 9 offered, the ships AI speaking up. "I am unsure as to why you didn't use that."
"You want to know why we didn't use that?" Blister demanded. "Because… Because we forgot, okay."
"Think you can tell us what it is?" Chebek asked, the Charian rubbing his forehead. "Or do you just want to make a vague guess."
"Space junk?" the AI suggested. "Initial scans suggest it was once a mobile weapons platform, but the chances of it still working now are low. Unless you want to repair it, it looks simple technology. No doubt cutting edge at the time, without refinement it would unlikely stand up against anything we have now. Like Mr. Redwoods Battlizer."
"Yeah, I'm sure he said I could have a go with that," Blister said, again looking at the piece of space junk. "Or, we could just repair this and go on wacky missions and stuff of our own."
"That sounds like way more fun, doesn't it?" Chebek snickered. "Oh, I'm on for that."
Stepping back, the two of them went to go and get their tools, leaving the humanoid Flygon robot alone in the cargo bay. Alone except for the disembodied company of Techno 9.
"Wonder if that thing speaks binary," she said softly. "0100001111000011000."
The machine didn't reply.
"Guess not."

Go...
Author's Notes.
Yes. Even though Cosmo Force has been cancelled… (For the episode summaries of those that were never written, check the Poké Rangers Forum. They're up there, explaining how Crane came to join the Cosmo Force team and how Max came across his Battlizer.
And some old history there with Luke and Nahir from a time further on than we last saw them. Which canonically was in Past, Present and Future Rangers. Or as everyone else called it lovingly, Once A Ranger.
So just a big thanks to everyone who did review Cosmo Force. It was appreciated, but I just couldn't continue on with it for reasons that are also delved into on the forum.
Hope you enjoy this long awaited movie.
Thanks for reading.
And how about a review just to tell me how you enjoyed it?
