A/N –This is my first attempt writing Fanfiction, it was an idea that came to me after watching a lot of my favourite TV series, you might be able to pick the influences as you read. I do have a grand vision and hope to my this a series (depending on reviews and feedback) stretching across the entire Power Ranger series. This story picks up early in Mighty Morphin' season 2. Everything has happening as per canon, except that Tommy never lost his green ranger powers. This will contain elements of MMPR season 2 but there will be some major differences to how events happen.
Chapter 1 - Prologue
Following World War II, governments of the world were concerned by scientific research that had been carried out in Nazi Germany. The Fascist regime had an obsession with the paranormal and conducted an extensive search to help create the master race. In an effort to counteract any future threat, President Truman created the National Frontier Science Agency (NFSA). Their wide reaching mandate is to investigate any events that cannot be explained by current scientific understanding. A network of field agents also searches the globe to acquire any artefacts that may contain mystical powers.
August 3 1994 – Washington DC
The office of the NFSA were busier than usual, numerous agents were running frantically around the central command area. The two big screens at the end of the room were showing various news channels, all of them carrying the same story: the initial defeat of the Power Rangers, followed by their eventual triumph using their new zords.
Off to the side of the main room was the office of the head of the NFSA, Major Darius Harmon. He had spent most of the day in various conference calls, the latest of which was with the President himself. Currently he was standing behind his desk, staring out of his office window which overlooked the Potomac river. The calm waters were a complete contrast to the chaos out in the NFSA command centre. Without looking around he sensed one of the junior agents approaching his open office door "come in Agent Spencer"
"Sir you wanted to know the latest out of Angel Grove"
Turning to face Agent Spencer and wearily running his hand through his closely cropped hair, he turned to face the agent "I did, report Agent"
"Initial reports suggest a new villain has replace Rita Repulsa on the Moon base. He destroyed all but one of the Power Rangers existing Zords using a monster almost without effort. However less than two hours later, the Rangers reappeared with new equipment and struck the monster down"
Major Harmon was one of the first African-Americans to reach the rank of Major. He had seen many things over his decorated 30 year career with the Air Force and then the NFSA. The most troubling case his team had worked on was the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe 4 years ago. It had seemed inconceivable in the early 80's that the Soviet Union would crumble all by itself. The NFSA later confirmed that various leaders had been influences by a contaminated pen which influenced their decision making, causing them to literally sign their countries out of existence. The culprit was never caught; a fact that still niggled at Major Harmon to this day.
The latest development out of Angel Grove worried him though. The NFSA had been observing the Rangers from Washington for almost a year now. The agency had largely left them to battle Rita Repulsa as they had the best equipment to do it. There were questions about where their power came from and even how it could be harnessed of course. Until today the Rangers powers along with the Zords seemed to be connected to one power source. But this development showed they had access to resources unimaginable. To create new gigantic robot fighters in less than a couple of hours showed that either they had them waiting in reserve, or access to great power.
"Where is this power coming from" Major Harmon muttered to himself "Alright dismissed Agent Spencer, please send in Agents Hightower and Miyamoto"
Harmon slowly paced around his office deep in thought. Maybe he made a mistake not learning enough about these Rangers when they first appeared. Had his inaction caused them to become too powerful to control?
"You wanted to see us sir?"
Agent Kristopher 'Kris' Hightower was the NFSA's senior field agent, a position that was rare for an agent in their late 20's. His service history had been outstanding and has the best case closure rate Major Harmon had seen. This coupled with his good spiky blonde hair and good looks made him the envy of numerous agents at the NFSA.
Agent Hightower was following into Major Harmon's office by Agent Aimi Miyamoto. The 25 year old had only been with the agency for less than a year, however, she was seen as a promising recruit. With her dark hair, youthful appearance and short stature, many under-estimated Agent Miyamoto at their peril.
"Agent Hightower, Miyamoto. I assume you've seen the reports coming out of California today"
"We have Sir" responded Aimi "several TV stations have been running footage from the battle already"
Major Harmon nodded in acknowledge "I have decided its time for the NFSA to act. In agreement with President Clinton we need more intel on these Rangers. The ability they showed today is simply too dangerous to ignore"
A serious look came across Kris' face "Do you want them arrested Sir?"
"Firstly we need to ascertain their intentions" Major Harmon stated whilst drawing himself up to his full height "your assignment is to set up an office in Angel Grove, monitor the Power Rangers and report back. Your flights have been booked for tomorrow morning and you will be met at Angel Grove airport by your new technical support Alexander McBride. Any questions?"
"No Sir" Kris and Aimi both responded
"Good. Dismissed". With this Kris and Aimi both nodded stiffly and departed. Major Harmon took a seat behind his desk and pulled out a bottle of whisky and glass from a draw. After pouring himself a drink, he reclined back slightly in his chair. The Major couldn't put his finger on it, but he had a very bad feeling about this case.
As Kris and Aimi made their way out of Major Harmon's office, Aimi was positively bouncing. This was her first big assignment since joining the NFSA. Kris on the other hand was stone faced and emotionless, seemingly ignorant to his partners excitement.
"I've always wanted to go to California, what a great opportunity to work on my tan".
Kris gave her a stern look "Aimi we're on an assignment this is no time for frivolity"
A frown came across Aimi's face but this still didn't deflate her as the pair carried on walking toward the elevator.
"I know but just think about it, it's warm all year round, great surfing. Plus we may become the first people to uncover the identity of the Power Rangers"
"Aimi can't you be serious for more than five minutes" Kris shook his head, slowly getting more annoyed by his perky partner.
"Oh come on Kris, pull that stick out of your ass for once in your life"
"Agent Miyamoto" Kris snapped back "this is serious business. Innocent people could be at risk not to mention our own personal safety"
Aimi had recoiled from the dressing down Kris had given her "I'm sorry Kris, I was just messing around. I didn't mean to bring back memories of..."
"Its fine" Kris interrupted "just...be on time for the flight tomorrow" and with that he got into the nearest lift, leaving Aimi looking at him simpathically as the doors closed.
Aimi hung her head and muttered to herself "great way to start a mission Aimi. What a long few months this is going to be"
Deciding it would be best for her to avoid Kris for the time being, she took the stairs to the ground floor
