Authors Note: Okay, let me honest. This story is just for fun. Its an idea I had out of the blue, to turn something ridiculous from my childhood into something a little bit darker. A crossover, combining the premise of kids show, with the reality of an adult game. Here goes. A disclaimer that says exactly what this story is going to be about, if you haven't already noticed the crossover involved.

I do not own Power Rangers or Halo.

Yeah…

Halsey rubbed her eyes, trying to keep a headache from coming on. She'd long since wondered if she should invest in some massage therapy at some point. Honestly, with the stress of her job, the pressures involved, the worry she felt every day for her subjects (She forced the word 'children' from her mind) it was a wonder that she hadn't gone insane by now. She looked up at the young man across from her.

He had dark skin suggesting an Arab ancestry, a short curly beard, and long hair pulled back into a ponytail. He sat there nervously, holding a pile of papers in front of the projector he'd set up for his presentation. He bounced on the balls of his feet, obviously trying to get rid of his excess energy.

Halsey brushed a hand back through her grey hair, noting that she needed a haircut soon. She noted her slightly wrinkled hand with an inner smile, tracing her pale skin with a quick eye. Her blue eyes snapped to the young researcher across from her.

"Okay. Run it all by me again. I want to make sure I understand what your proposing."

"Uh, right. S-Sure." The man turns to the projector. "Dot, can you bring it up again?"

"Certainly." The Dumb AI in charge of the facility they stood in reactivated the projector, lighting up Halsey's office.

"Thank you." The young man sighed, than began to speak. "Over the last few months, we've had reports of the Covenant appearing all over human colonies at the borders. My supervisor had our team looking for new ways to increase our firepower for less than half that time. New tech, new weapons, new suits. Always trying to get that edge. Then I had an epiphany."

He turns to the screen, with shows an image of Earth. "What if we were doing the exact wrong thing? What if instead of looking for something new, we should have been looking back, trying to find a weapon in Earths past?"

"Like a spear?" Halsey kept her tone sarcastic, though inside she was intrigued.

"No. Something… older."

Halsey quirked an eyebrow at that. "Explain."

The man nodded, turning to the screen as it projected an image of a cave wall. On it were drawings from thousands of years ago, apparently drawn by some old race of hominids. The drawing depicted five people gathered against stick figure drawing of what looked like demons.

"For thousands of years, stories of people gathering together against dark creatures have been popping up over and over through history. The stories vary, but they always describe people with incredible weapons, martial prowess, and great power. It was until the end of the 20th century that actual proof of such being showed up."

The next image to show on the screen was far less somber. It depicted five people making ridiculous poses in front of a large building. They wore colorful suits of red, pink, yellow, blue, and green, with little capes attached to their backs in the color of their suit. The red one was in front, clearly a leader of some sort. They each wore large helmets concealing their identities. All in all, rather ridiculous looking people. Yet, somehow… dignified. Powerful. Strange.

"They were call the Gorangers. The first Super Sentai. They were called to defend Japan against a monstorous threat, and eventually defeated it. They retired, only to have a new threat show up. In response, a new team of Super Sentai showed up."

Another image appeared, with a new set of team members. Just as colorful, though the leader wore a white suit with a multiple colored stripe on the front.

"Again, and again, threats appeared, with only the rangers to stop them. From all across the galaxy, from multiple time streams, and even other dimensions, rangers fought and defended the Earth."

Halsey sighed, fighting the head ache that was coming to her. "Rangers? I thought they were Sentai?"

"As I said, other dimensions. In our own, the Super Sentai were the defenders of earth, with Japan being their home base. In another, the Power Rangers were the defenders, appearing decades after they appeared in our universe and using either America or New Zealand as their home base. In either case, both used their abilities to defend humanity and all sentient life."

The scientist in Halsey felt the need to interrupt. Since Halsey was one hundred percent scientist, she did so.

"That's all very interesting. However, that is impossible. If such a thing were real, we would have heard about it a long time ago. There would have been textbooks, interviews," She stared distastefully at an image of five colorful vehicles of enormous size and different colors racing across a desert. "Crappy merchandising. Regardless, we would have known."

"That's the thing. I don't think that's true."

Halsey blinked. "I'm sorry?"

"For some reason, I had no clue about this either. I had been researching this stuff for weeks, and none of it showed up until I put the right search term. All of a sudden it was everywhere. Information almost flooded the system. People back on Earth have started talking about the Super Sentai and Rangers. Its like the information didn't exist until someone created it."

"That's… Dot."

"Yes Ms. Halsey?"

"Do you have any information on the Super Sentai teams?"

"Yes ma'am. Would you like to specify which one?"

"No. I'd like to know why you have information I know I didn't see in your programming a week ago."

"There may be a logical explanation for this ma'am." The researcher nodded to his presentation. "According to my research, the Super Sentai seem to encounter 'resets.' Brief moment where no hears from them or even adknowledges their former existence until the time is right. It may be a side effect of Morphing Grid."

"The what?" Headache in full effect.

"The Morphing Grid. The energy that all Sentai and Rangers are connected to. It gives them their abilities, allows them to do things that our knowledge of physics says is impossible."

Halsey felt herself almost wishing that she hadn't allowed this young man into her office. "And what does that allow?"

Instead of answering, he handed her the files in his hand. Halsey took them, and began to read. And read. With sudden focus, she felt her headache disappearing.

Super strength, speed, and agility. The ability to transform at anytime, allowing the Sentai in question to remain undetected for as long as they wished. Access to an arsenal of weapons and vehicles with just a push of a button. Teleportation. Mind reading. Flight. And all of it with what was posited to be a rather simple interface. Apparently even a man running a martial arts dojo in the back of a pizza shop had been able to access the Morphing Grid with very little cost.

And if all of this was intergrated into current day systems… "How many people can we have operating as Sentai?"

"As far as I know, its unlimited. However I suggest we stick to three members. That way we have a good baseline for future projects."

"Then I know the perfect team." Her red sentai/ranger was obvious enough. She had no idea what the other colors would be, but she knew who they would be. Though she would be doing everything in her power to avoid the garishly colored spandex.

It was Mjolnir or nothing, and that was that. Unless the colors helped or something. Maybe just a stripe on the side?

"Tell your supervisor you will no longer be working for him." Halsey turns on her computer, typing furiously as her mind worked. "You are under my command from now on. Bring me everything you have, as soon as possible. And speak to no one else. As of now, this project is classified."

"Copy that!" The young man grinned, almost bruising his head with an enthusiastic salute, before running out the room. Halsey smiled as she brought up the latest Mjolnir designs.

"Time to do science."

Six Months Later
The Planet Ominit

A garrison of soldiers protected a group of civilians as they rush through jungles of the northern hemisphere. They left behind a burning city, with Covenant supercarriers tearing the skyscrapers of the city apart with massive energy weapons. The marines rode alongside the civilians in warthogs, defending the large trucks as they rushed along the dirt road.

One marine turned to another. "Rodriguez! How long until we reach the extraction point!?"

Rodriguez, a young woman with her pulled back into a ponytail, yelled back. "Its going to be another twenty minutes!"

"That's too damn long! We got Banshees combing the skies!"

"Well we can't go any faster sir! We would have to leave the civvies!"

"Fuck!" The marine screams, smacking the dashboard of the warthog with his hand as the tough car bounces through the jungle. As if to answer his fear, a sudden whine filled the air, and plasma cut into the all around. Civilians started screaming as the piercing screech of Banshee attack vehicles came, followed by plasma explosions. The drivers dodged weeved as best as they could, but it wouldn't for long.

"Come on damnit!" The marine screamed, staring as a Covenant dropship came into view up ahead, set up to tear them all apart. "Give us a break!"

The dropships plasma cannons glowed. For all of five seconds. Then it took fire. It held for a bit, its shields glowing as it turned to its attacker. Then its shields shattered like glass. Bullets smashed apart the alien craft like so much glass, tearing apart the vessel with little trouble. It gave a few weak shots at its opponent before finally exploding in a spectacular blue flame.

Its attacker showed up next. For a moment, Rodriguez thought it was a Pelican. But it was bigger. Almost twice as big in fact. It fired again, the minigun on its nose releasing an onslaught of depleted uranium at its opponents.

Rodriguez noted the dark yellow stripes going along the belly and wings of the ship. Her eyes widened at the desigination painted on its nose. Sentai-02. The enormous aircraft hovered to the civilians and soldiers on the ground defending them as it fired at the enemy aircraft.

The Banshees fought back, giving it their all against the human vessel. But their plasma somehow couldn't even scorch the Pelican, and any attempts at something bigger led to them being torn apart. A message came on the radio.

"This is Sentai-02, providing assistance" The voice was female, and spoke at an almost frantic pace. Despite the speed of her speech, she was neither panicked, nor rushed, if the calm flight of her vessel was any indicator. "I suggest you get moving. We have our team on the ground."

Sentai. The word brought a thrill of hope to Rodriguez. The commanding marine nodded. "Understood Sentai-02. We're on our way. Will you continue to provide assistance?"

"Negative. My team is here to take over."

A earth shattering boom filled the air, coinciding with Banshee disappearing in a bright flash. Up ahead, a tank rolled over a hill, leaving enough room for the convoy to drive past. They sped down the road as the Pelican pulled the Banshees away. Covenant ground vehicles began showing up behind them, immediately targeting the tank.

The tank, like the Pelican, was oversized. A Scorpion, it dwarfed all of their own vehicles by a wide margin. It had dark blue stripes along its chassis and treads, as well as the designation Sentai-03 painted below the cockpit. The tank fired again, and again, with incredible speed and accuracy. A Wraith fired a mortar at it, only to have the enormous ball of plasma explode harmlessly against it. In retaliation, the Scorpion's turret turned to the Wraith and fired. A missile that was way too large to have fitted inside the turret it supposedly came from slammed into the Wraith, reducing it to scrap.

"Sentai-03, moving to intercept. Sentai-01, are you available to escort the convoy."

"Affirmative."

A familiar sound came up alongside Rodriguez and her teams Warthog. She turned, blinking at the sight of a standard Warthog coming up beside them. Unlike their own, this Warthog had dark red stripe going straight down the center, and the designation Sentai-01 painted on its side. Other than that, it was almost… normal. After the enormous battle vehicles from the first two Sentai, it was almost a let down. Inside, she could see a figure driving the vehicle.

"This is Sentai-01. I'll be keeping you all safe on the way. Follow my lead."

"And be happy!" Another voice cut off the gruff tones of Sentai-01. This one was female, and rather chipper considering the situation. "You officially under the protection of the Sentai. Please feel free to leave tips at the end of our journey."

"Cortana…"

"Only kidding Chief. A transfer of their bank account funds will be good enough."

The man in the Warthog sighed as he lead the way to the extraction point.

Authors Note: Seems like a good place to end it for now. Anyways, I'm sure you're windering why I'm writing this.

Well if you think about it, Power Rangers and Halo actually go pretty well together. Interesting vehicles to work as Zords, well trained badasses to become Rangers, and both Rangers and Spartans have been well known to defend Earth and other planets from horrifying monsters.

That said, the only reason comparisons aren't made between the two as often, is simply because Power Rangers is campy as hell. You only need to watch a episode of the Megaforce crappola to know that.

Anyways, the next chapter will begin in the space around Halo. See ya later folks.
