A/N: Hello my ranger faithful I'm back with the whole new generation of Rangers. As stated in the season two story arch this new generation of rangers are the kids of my original team. And yes the cast of the new team is still as listed on my page just picture the older ones as teens or In the cases of Zendaya, Bella , and Ciara as the ages they were when I cast them a few years ago. As the ranger suits of this generation I originally wanted to use a modified version of the Mega Force suits. But I've decided to go with a combination of the Jaeger pilot suits from Pacific Rim structure wise with the helmets having the visors blacked out, and color construction wise like the Mega Force suits. Meaning each ranger's individual on the top half helmet boots and gloves with a gold winged Q symbol on each ranger's chest. And white on the bottom half. As for zords I'll get to them when they are needed. Now as for the rest of the cast meaning the retired rangers here they go
Michael Jai White as David Aden Hawk
Elizabeth Banks as Austina "Stina" Hawk
Paula Patton as Lyra Hawk
Grace Park as Julie "Jewels" Hawk
Natasha Lyonne as Creed Jericho
Daniel Dae Kim as Kal Hawk
Trish Stratus as Sunset Parker – Hawk
Persia White as Maxine Paige
Mariska Hargetey as Talia Hawk (picture her with gray hair )
Amy Jo Johnson as Kimberly Heart
Daniela Sea as Shane Parker (she's played a trans person before)
Gail Kim as Troia Parker
Jessica Alba as Tracie Darring Hawk
Now as for any new characters I'll cast them as time goes and I introduce them. As for time frame this takes place a few years after the last months and will start off in a bit of an alternate time line than the one stemming from season two onward and in order for that to work. You have to know that one Creed was always going to become the Phantom Ranger and end up with Selena just under different circumstances. Two the fact that Erica traveled back in time to the middle of season one merely sped up things. Three when the rangers traveled back to their time they'd change things slightly but just enough that the retired rangers remember Creed saying EJ gave her the powers and also thanks to spell at the end of the future ranger arch Creed thinks that's what happened. Also the story will make a time jump in this chapter so let's go.
New Kids On The Block PT 1:
The Power Chamber:
David stood alongside his siblings wife and mother and step mother as he looked across at the seven newly minted rangers along with the surviving memebers of his team. "Seven are now the carriers of a great legecy. A legacy that has gone on for decades and will continue for such as one generation passes to the next. By donning those suits you're not only taking on a great honor and responsbilty," he said pausing and looking a his daughter wearing his former ranger colors. "But you've made us all very proud," he said before he and Lyra hugged Lexi the other retired rangers doing the same.
"Aww what a touching family moment," a female voice said making every one turn to see the olive complected young woman wearing what looked to be a revamped version of Sala's leather outfit.
"Kit what are you doing in that outfit," Creed said through gritted teeth as she balled her fist.
"Just thought it'd be a new look seeing as we're not good enough to be rangers teach," Kit said. "Isn't that Mel."
"That's right," said a young woman walking in wearing the Dark Titan armor.
"The Dark Titan power how did you?...AHHHHHHHH!," David goraned as he and the other retired Rangers were knocked back by a blast by the Dark titan.
"Nevermind how I got it old man just know that I have it and will use it to destroy your precious new rangers starting with Lexi!," Mel said sending a powerful blast of energy towards the new silver ranger
"ERRRRR NO!," Lyra growled taking the brunt of the blast and becoming engulfed in flames.
"LY!," David yelled running over to his wife's burning body.
"MOM!," Lexi said joining her father
"You little bitches!," Max said charging at them only to be knocked back by bolt of psychokenitic energy from Kit.
"Not so fast gypsy," Kit said before hitting Troia with a fireball. "Always too headstrong Troi."
"Ahhhh!," Troia screamed rolling trying to put the flames out.
"AHHH ME AND YOU KIT LETS GO," Erica said donning her helmet and drawing her weapon.
"I would like to EJ but if all goes well you won't exist soon," Kit said as she waved her hand opening a portal. " bye bye," she said before she and Mel jumped into the portal and the fires that were burning Troia and Lyra stopped.
David and Lexi held Lyra's brunt disfigured body in their arms tears running down their faces. "Ly come on baby heal," David said gripping her hand.
"Yeah mom use your powers," Lexi said gripping her other hand.
"H,healing factor n, n, not, worrrrr, working ugghhhhhhhh... Crixus," Lyra said straining to gather air through her brunt lungs. She then looked up into her daughter's crying eyes and reached up and wiped her tears away. "I'm hgggggggggghhhhh... I'm...hugghhhhhhhhh...proud of you," she said.
"Save your strength mom," Lexi said gripping tightly to her mothers hand.
Lyra then looked over at David gripping his hand pulling him close. "Don't let her...ugghhhhhhhhhhhhhh...don't let her uggggggggggggh," she gasped before the life left her body.
"Lyra, Lyra, Lyra, LYRA!," David screamed with a fury.
"Umm uncle Dave mom we've got a problem," Talia said from the computer.
"What is it," David said still weeping and holding Lyra's body in his arms.
"I'm reading a temporal disturbance Kit and Mel went back in time!," Talia said as her mother joined her.
"Where!?," David asked.
"It looks like OH MY GOD! Before we graduated highschool before the crisis!," Tracie said . "Dave if they attack before we're ready we're...,"
"I know Trace," David said already knowing what his next move needed to be. "Can we follow them ?"
"I only have enough juice to get one person back," Tracie said, "My time travel tech isn't quite ready yet for large transfer."
"I'll go," EJ said.
"Erica no!," Shane said.
"Dad this is my team I'm the leader I'm going" E J said getting a sigh of agreement from her father "Are we ready aunt T ?"
"Almost I just have to lock onto Kit and Mel's time signature," Tracie said.
"No send her back further before EJ died if they can monkey with time we can too," David said grabbing a tiny flash drive and placing it in his niece's hand "Find Billy Cranston show him this then find Creed and give her the Phantom ruby ok."
"Understood unc," EJ said.
"Portal's opening in five four three two...," Tracie said opening the time portal. "Here two temporal time vortex chips use them to get back but use one before if you have too now go!," she said.
EJ took one last look at her family and team then dove into the portal.
A Year & A Half Later :
"DAMN IT TO HELL!," EJ said slamming her helment against the wall as she and the rest of the rangers entered the command center after a long battle with Kit and Mel's forces.
"Damage report Talia," Lexi said taking off her own helmet.
"Zords will be down for at least a week or two," Talia said.
"SHIT!," EJ said.
"Language Erica," David said as he Creed and Tracie walked down from the upper level of the Command center along with Rourke.
" Yeah no need for that," Tracie said.
"Oh please like we didn't curse after battles," Creed said.
"Look mom Dave its like this we need a new ranger or two," Myers said.
"Yeah back in your day there were nine of you plus grandma Kim's special forces team and all your allies to help," said Sammie the adopted son of Sunset and Kal. "Not to mention you wern't fighting enimies that knew your every move because they grew up with you."
"Sammie and Myers are right we need new blood," Mercy said.
"Or at least let Rourke suit up," Talia said.
"Talia we've been over this as much we all love Rourke she's to unreliable in the field," Tracie said.
"I am so reliable," Rourke said telepathically to Talia.
"I know," Talia said.
"Look guys you're forgetting we friends family you can't just put someone on time like this the chemistry has to be right," David said. "Now go get some rest tomorrow's the first day of school,"
"Fine dad," Lexi said with a frustrated sigh
Angel Grove High:
The then blonde girl with glasses tripped as she made her way through the hall falling and dropping her tablet and books. "Fuck!," she cursed as she started picking her stuff up as none of the other busy students helped her.
"Let me help," the blonde looked up seeing a asian girl with bleach blonde hair in a long poneytail with ruby red highlights. Dressed in shiny metalic silver skinny jeans a tranlucent sleevless motorcyle vest and American flag crop top and sandals kneeling down to help her.
"Thanks," the blonde girl said. "I was just trying to find my locker guess I tripped. My name's Rae Tamsyn by the way," the girl said as she and the Asian picked themselves up.
"Erica Jayden Parker, but everyone just calls me EJ," EJ said formally introducing herself. "So you're new here?"
"Yeah transferred from North Carloina and can't find my locker," Rae said.
"Let me help do you see the slip the office gave you," EJ asked. Rae gave her the slip and EJ said, " Oh cool you're right by me come on," and began walking down the hall. "So North Carolina hunh why move all the way to Cali?"
"My dad's job at first I was pissed but then when I found out I was moving to Angel Grove I was like yes ranger central!," Rae said.
"So you like the power rangers?," EJ asked as they stopped in front of their lockers.
"Yes I'm a total Ranger fangirl I have all the posters copies of the articals going back to the 90s action figures T-shirts. I even have a piece of Rita's staff," Rae said with a child like smile on her face as she punched in the code on her locker. "But you growing up here you probally know more about the rangers than I do."
"You have no idea anyway what do you have first period?," EJ asked her seemingly new found friend.
"Art you?," Rae asked.
"History but I have chemistry second period and you can find my table at lunch I eat outside in the quad," EJ said.
"Cool see you later," Rae said walking away and stopping, "Umm the art room ?"
"Go to the end of the hall down the steps and to the left two doors down?," EJ said.
"Thanks see you later," Rae said walking off.
Somewhere near downtown Angel Grove:
The tanskinned young girl walked bewildered down the street a street that seemed familiar to her. Had she been here before? She wasn't sure. In fact she wasn't sure of anything in her life or about who she was or who her parents were or if she had parents. All she knew was that she had woken up in a hospital with no memory of how she got there. All she knew was she needed to be here in Angel Grove a place she'd been drifting towards a for a year and a half and to the shop she was walking towards. So she walked towards it.
"Mom I've been working in this shop since I was nine. I can handle the books and orders," David said as he looked over the spread sheets.
"Yes except the time you decided to play rockstar with Julie, and where is your sister in-law anyway," Talia said.
"She's at Kal and Sunset's getting lunch," David said. "Now tell me something old woman why can't you just enjoy your golden years like most women your age and let me run the place?"
"Because I'm not like most women my age son and you have a customer," Talia said.
"What...Oh hey didn't see you," David said turning his attention to the tan girl with long curly black hair to her shoulders. Dressed in ripped jeans and a green V-neck under an old ripped faded hooded jean jacket and well worn Chuck Taylors. With an old army backpack on her shoulder "Anything I can help you with?"
"Uh yeah I'm here about the apartment you have for rent," the young woman said. "My name's Jett, Jett Ford,"she said.
"Jett my name is David Hawk and we do have an apartment for rent but I'm not in the habbit of renting to runaways," David said.
"I'm no runaway I'm oprhan I've been on my own for as long as I can remember," Jett said honestly.
"Well in that case we can make an exception," Talia said, "I hope this doesn't sound strange but I get a familiar sense about you."
"Its strange I was thinking same about you two,"Jett said, "what'd you say your name was ?"
"Talia," Talia said shakeing Jett's hand and feeling a strange kinship with this new young woman. Almost as if she'd known her for years. "Come on I'll show you the place its right up here," she said leading the girl upstairs.
"I'm back brother inlaw," Julie said announcing herself as she walked in. "Where's mom?"
"Showing the place to the new tenent," David said opening the bag and pulling out his buffalo chicken and bacon salad.
"New tenent? Wow strange," Julie said pulling out her turkey burger and sweet potato fries.
"Yeah I mean Stina and Max living at the beach Max teaching Stina an ad Exec. Creed running a garage, Shane having his salon," David said pouring dressing on his salad.
"Troia running a dance studio Kal and Sunset running the station the kids in highschool Tracie surgeon and working at NASADA. You and I ex rockstars running the shop Lyra and Sel... sorry Dave" Julie said regretting bringing up her decessed sister inlaw and deceassed surrogate sister.
"Its ok Jewels," David said, "we've come a long way and Ly and I had a lot of great years together I miss her everyday but there are things I can't change and I accept them."
"The place looks great and its furnished which is good," Jett said as she and Talia walked back down to the shop. "But about the rent see I kinda don't have a job right now," she said nervously rubbing the back of her neck.
"You ever work a cash register?," Julie asked.
"Yeah Jewels I can," Jett said.
"How'd you know my name," Julie asked her.
"I just guess you look like a Jewels," Jett said.
"Anyway as long you can do that and stock a few shelves I'm sure we can work out a rent arrangement, right Dave," Julie said.
"Yeah we can do that," David said.
"Great when do I move in ," Jett said.
Angel Grove Highschool:
"Rae over here," EJ said waving her new friend over to the table.
"Glad I found you," Rae said bringing her trey over to the table. "care to introduce me"
"Of course guys this is Rae Tasmyn. Rae Tasmyn this is my boy Myers and his boyfriend my cousin Sammie. This beauty in the cheetah tank is my other cousin Lexi beside her are our cousins the twins Mercy and Tamra the little one is our little cousin Talia the other and the one beside her is her foster sister Rourke," EJ said introducing everyone.
"Nice to meet ya'll ," Rae said sitting at the table. "So um Talia aren't you a little young for highschool?"
"Yeah I have a genius IQ," Talia said, "oh and don't get freaked if Rourke doesn't talk to you she's a mute and she only signs to people she knows."
"Ok and you to are twins?"Rae asked turning her attention to Mercy and Tamra.
"Yeah one of our mom's is black at least half," Mercy said.
"The other is white. But I'm older," Tamra said
"Only by twelve minutes you goof," Mercy said
"Ok so how are you all related," she asked confused bit by the multiethnic group of realitives.
"Well my uncle Shane is married to EJ's mom Troia. My mom is married to Troia's brother Kal. Lexi's dad is Troia's big brother and her mom was one of the twins mom's and there other mom is David's sister one of Talia and Rourke's mom's is also David's sister. And their other mom is my sweet handsome Myer's aunt in a way. But enough about us I love the accent and the look doll. Where you from what are you about?"
"Well I'm from Charlotte my dad moved here for a NASADA gig and I'm a major major power rangers fan ," Rae said.
"Oh really," Lexi said sipping her smoothie.
"Yeah totally look it!," Rae said pulling out her tablet, and showing the group. "This is my collection," she said scrolling through her photos proudly.
"Whoa is that a lightspeed rescue jacket?," Talia said.
"Yeah I also have a timeforce jumpsuit and one of the wild force jackets and I even think I know who some of the rangers are not just the ones that are public knowledge," Rae said.
"Really that's cool," Myers said.
"Look I know you probally think I'm nuts and I get it. Truth is I don't have a lot of friends back home pretty much none because of my obsession," Rae said feeling a bit self concious.
"Well now you seven right fam," EJ said.
"Right and just so you know since were friends I'm going to be borrowing all your cute clothes," Sammie said.
"And by borrwing he means stealing that's my scarff you're wearing as a belt Sammie," Lexi said.
"And my earrings," the twins said in unison
"I can't help your stuff looks better on me," Sammie said running a hand through his hair.
"You're such a girl sometimes bae," Myers said.
"And you love it," Sammie said before kissing his boyfriend.
"Yeah they do this a lot," EJ said seeing Rae seemingly taken a back by the display of affection. "If they wern't like brothers to me I'd think this was hot,"
"Well they ain't my brothers and I do," Rae said with a smirk.
Mel and Kit's lair:
"So seems our friends are enjoying the first day of school," Kit said tossing a fireball around in her hands.
"Yes why don't we make it a bit less enjoyable," Mel said. "Madrox come forth!," she said gesturing with her hand and making an blue skinned elf like creature dressed like a post appaclyptic musketeer in a bright red and black sleeveless armored jacket what appeared to be black leather tights. With a long pointed tail coming out of the back, and holding a what looked like a combination of a rapear and broad sword.
"Nice our best swordsman next to me of course," Kit said, "he'll do well Mel."
"Lets hope. Madrox go with Kit and destroy the rangers and if you're sucessful I will reward you with the rank of generel," Mel said.
"It will be an honor mistress titan," Madrox said with a bow.
Angel Grove High:
"So Rae need a ride home I'm sure you can fit on the back of my bike or you can squeeze in with the girls in Lexi's jeep," EJ said as the group of eight walked of the school.
"No my dad is picking me up an...," Rae said just as a flash of light exloded in front of her and the others . When the light faded she found herself face to face with Madrox Kitt and the army of drones.
"Hello guys how was school," Kitt said in a smugg sarcastic tone.
"Uhh guys are those," Rae asked trembling a bit,
"Yeah whole pack of trouble," EJ said.
