1Eternal Red

Chapter 2: Assemble

My name is Jason Lee Scott, I have been called many things, a pioneer, a hero, the one and only, and the best. And I have to agree with all of them, I am in every meaning of the best, I am the original red ranger, the first human to ever wield such powers. Not many people have been revered and admired as much as me, I went public a few years ago, my power coin had enough juice in it to provide me with one last morph, one very public morph.

Now as I sit here in this massive conference room surrounded by at the very least a dozen red rangers, a few of them veterans, most of them rookies, arrogant, headstrong and reckless. Nothing like the way I was when I was first starting out.

The SPD conference room was surrounded by dozens of red rangers, red rangers of different races and sexes. Andros, Tommy and one of his former students, about five SPD officers all of them wearing the standard SPD red ranger uniform, Wes and Eric of the Silver Guardians, Carter Grayson, and Cole Evans were all present, along with a female Asian red ranger of an unknown ranger team.

Every eye in the room was focused on a single individual, Commander Anubis "Doggie" Cruger, the head of Earth's SPD division as well as a fellow ranger. Standing at approximately six feet, covered in blue scales, and wearing an elegant black leather SPD commander trench coat, the giant dog was quite a sight to behold.

This is SPD's legendary swordsman? He looks like a total fool to me. I still can't believe that I'm going to be taking orders from a giant talking blue dog; this has to be a new low. I mean a talking head in a tube was bad enough; I didn't need him to tell me how to kill a psycho monster of the day.

"Hello and thank you all for coming, there are many new faces and a few familiar ones, for those of you who don't know me; I am Commander Anubis Cruger, leader of Earth's SPD forces. I'm sure that most of you have been informed of the dark planet's approach towards Earth, although it may not seem like a big deal, several of our scientist including our very own Dr. Kat Manx has determined that if the planet reaches Earth, the planet's gravitational pull will tear this little planet apart."

"Then how is this any of our concern?" asks an off planet red ranger, what seemed to be a crystal clear living talking humanoid shaped block of ice, his very body seemed to emit cold air. His eyes a cold dark shade of blue, he seemed to have slightly slicked back icicles for hair. "The planet under my jurisdiction is Venus not Earth. I can't afford to devote my time and resources elsewhere."

"I agree." says another officer, this one seemed to be a red humanoid completely surrounded by soft flickering orange flames, how come he wasn't burning through the leather chair that he was sitting on. Well, that was anyone's guess. "Commander Cruger, with all due respect, is this necessary? You've dragged not only four off-world SPD red rangers into this plan, but you also have the audacity to involve several civilian rangers into this mess?"

Are all SPD officers this arrogant and uncaring?

"So you're saying that the death of billions is none of your concern? The destruction of an entire planet, the loss of trillions of homes!" says Jason angrily. "Uncaring scum bags such as yourself don't deserve to call themselves Power Rangers."

"Don't twist my words around boy." says the flame head, the flames all over his body suddenly flaring up in anger, "There's a good reason why SPD has so many branches throughout the universe. Me just being here means that Mercury is down one ranger meaning that every single rapist, murderer, terrorist and psychopath have an edge over SPD."

"Arrogance will only get you killed." says the iceman.

"Oh I'm anything but arrogant and I can prove it to your right here, right now!" growls Jason angrily.

"What was that boy!" says the flame man standing up, Jason also gets up; several rangers quickly jump up to restrain the two. One side of the conference room suddenly got extremely hot, as several loud and angry voices filled the room. Yet on another side, it got extremely cold, yet the angry protesting voices didn't quiet down.

"Jason! Take it easy!" shouts Tommy as he leapt forward to restrain his old friend.

"ENOUGH!" roars Cruger angrily "I called you all here today assuming that you could work together in harmony for a common goal, but it seems that you are unable to do such a simple task!"

The entire room became quiet.

"Officer Hielo, Officer Flamma, I understand that I have no right to ask SPD officers of other planets to help us in this mission." Begins Cruger, "However, Dr. Kat Manx has also determined that the destruction of Earth will cause a shift in gravitational force distribution throughout the solar system. Once the Earth is destroyed, the increased gravitational pull from the sun will cause every single planet in this solar system to experience several destructive environmental disasters."

What there's no way that this Dr. Kat Manx would know that! Is SPD that well informed! I've underestimated their information gathering abilities.

"Aiding SPD in our mission of stopping the approach of the planet is Jason Lee Scott." Says Cruger. "Jason, will you please explain what you know?"

Finally! My time to shine, it'll just be like the old days. Even Tommy's back, took some time off of his job to join in the mission.

Jason walks over to a local hologram projector, turning it on he puts up a hologram of the dark planet. A black planet surrounded by a wicked flaming purple aura. "I've determined that an outside force is causing the approach of the dark planet."

"Uh…" says Conner raising his hand.

"What?" asks Jason annoyed that he was interrupted.

"It…um says her that SPD's named the planet Gomorrah."

"Oh…uh ok, anyways I've determined that an outside force is responsible for the approach of Gomorrah towards Earth." Continues Jason, he presses a few buttons on the console in front of the projector and the image of the dark planet quickly rotates.

"What's that energy trail following right behind Gomorrah?" asks Wes.

"Multiple analysis of the energy trail has revealed it to be the remnants of a very low level tractor beam." Says Cruger from the back.

"Tractor beam? But wouldn't that mean that someone on Earth is responsible for approach?" asks Tommy.

"Not exactly, the polarity of the beam can be reversed to send it away from a planet instead of towards a planet." Replies Andros.

"Exactly, after careful research I've discovered that the planet that is directing Gomorrah towards Earth is a planet called Edenoi." Says Jason. "Unfortunately I was unable to pinpoint an exact location of the tractor beam device, but it seems that there are possibly multiple devices."

"I've heard about that planet." Comments Sky rubbing his chin in earnest. "Apparently they refuse to allow any SPD forces to enter. It's a savage planet filled with several monsters, thieves, murders, and demons. A backwater planet."

"What's your plan of action?" asks Eric, "We know who the enemy is, I say we do something about it."

Finally! A guy who thinks the same way as me.

Jason presses a few more buttons on the projector and the image of a familiar blue spaceship appears. Many know it as the Megaship, but events following the Countdown to Destruction have led to the destruction of the Megaship, but over the years KO-35 has managed to rebuild and improve the ship.

"What is that?" asks Conner in amazement.

"That is the Megaship Prime, our transport and assault ship, you've all been drafted into this mission, we're going to assault Edenoi and stop the approach of Gomorrah." Says Jason. "Billions of lives are at stake here! I ask of you, no I beg of you to join us in our mission!"

The entire room erupted in agreement.

Yup, just like the old days. It's gonna be just like the old days. Before there were any alien rangers….

Mirinoi, better known to many inhabitants of Earth as "The New World", had never been more peaceful. Over the last fifteen years, Mirinoi had never even experienced a single war. It's an intergalactically policy that no war or crime will be conduced on Mirinoi, even the criminal underworld has accepted this policy. Mirinoi was just far too beautiful and peaceful. Many people, criminal or not, often come to Mirinoi for relaxation.

Or humans living on other planets…

Leo Corbett waited patiently for him to return, a good friend of his named Kagami Arata, who had recently ventured off into space on a mission of some sort for a nearby planet. It had been at least two decades since the Earth Colony, Terra Venture, had arrived on Mirnoi. Every one of the inhabitants of that great colony had settled into the new world with ease, all except Leo…ever since he arrived….all he felt was emptiness, regret and guilt.

"Jeez, just how long does it take for a guy to get here? Especially when you can travel through space using your own powers?" asks Leo in frustration, his phone rings. "Hello? What do you mean you can't make it?"

"Well, it's like I said." Replies Kagami in space, he wasn't residing in a spaceship of any kind; he was one of the few types of individuals who could travel through space without the aid of a spaceship of any kind.

He was currently wearing his battle armor. A skin tight leather body suit with several silver pieces of protective body armor along with a fancy silver belt with a buckle which strangely resembled a blue stag beetle, the suit wasn't exactly spandex, but it was still freakishly tight. Protecting his chest was a set of very blue and silver heavy looking chest armor; the armor covered his chest, shoulders and arms. He also wore a helmet to protect his head, although the end result was that he ended looking like a giant bug, since the helmet had big red eyes and a short pair of silver antenna. Attached to the side of his shoulder armor is a pair of double barreled Vulcan cannons, no doubt a defensive feature of the suit.

"Let's just say that I've run into a few obstacles." He says. "I gotta go, I'll see you later."

Or monsters actually capable of hurting people

Blocking his way are five creatures in black robes, their eyes glowing red, each one of them seemed to emit an aura of pure dark. But the worst part about them would no doubt have to be their faces, pieces of rotting flesh. Flesh so rotten that parts of their skull were visible, yet they weren't dead; instead they are known the harbingers of death. Their name struck fear into the hearts of many, demons who killed without mercy.

'Devastators, nothing more than emotionless killing machines, but what are they doing all the way out here?' Thinks Kagami, 'But they usually travel in larger swarms over in the Seria nebula attacking random planets, slaughtering anyone unlucky enough to run into them.'

"Maaaasssttteerrr wishes for you death." Says one of the Reavers, giggling with glee, acting like a kid on Christmas morning,

"The one interfering, interfering with master's plans." Says another "The one is you...so many times, so many people have gotten away because of you………..hee hee."

'"Master?" Someone's gathering up these monsters!' thinks Kagami, he quickly gets into a fighting stance.

"Much blood, master promises us blood and destruction and death, cannot wait for it to start." Says another, he suddenly charges at Kagami.

However Kagami was more than ready for this sudden attack, he waits for the Devastator to get within distance before he cups his fists together and slams them down on the monster's head, sending him flying down. Kagami quickly takes full advantage of the monster's vulnerability to fire off a few rounds from his Vulcan cannons. The Devastator screams in delight as he explodes into nothingness.

'Even in death they enjoy death and destruction…..' thinks Kagami in disgust,

The other four charge towards Kagami as well, but Kagami was more than ready, he quickly moves to the left in order to dodge a wild clawed swipe, he takes advantage of the opening to kick the Devastator in the gut sending him flying towards two others charging monsters causing the other two to lose their balance, they were all obliterated by shots from his cannon.

The last one quickly attempted to flee only to be destroyed by a blue of blue plasma.

"Who!" asks Kagami turning towards the direction of the blast, the assailant was none other than a man in silver armor that seemed to resemble a Rhinoceros Beetle, specifically a Hercus beetle. He wore skin tight leather body suit along with silver chest armor; he also wore a silver helmet which made him look like a bug, just like Kagami. "And you are?"

Nor are the henchmen of the bad guys actually competent enough to do anyone any real harm. They're just supposed to be a bunch of idiots…

"My name isn't important." He says, "Hmm, master told me to help the devastators eliminate you before you could do any major damage to our cause, but after seeing the way you destroyed the devastators, I'm not feeling up to the task right now. I like fighting with people at fool strength not after they've finished a battle with another opponent."

"You're with these monsters!" asks Kagami, he quickly gets into a fighting stance.

"Don't bunch me with these monsters!" says the man. "The Devastators allied themselves with us because they wanted to cause death and destruction. But our true mission is rebirth and peace."

"Peace! You guys destroy an entire planet, billions of people died. And you dare say that you want peace!" says Kagami angrily

"Everything has a price, those people should be happy that they died for our cause." Says the man.

"YOU BASTARD!" screams Kagami, he charges recklessly, he quickly attempts to go for a flying kick, but the man had somehow managed to disappear. "What! Where did he go!"

'This speed, can it be?' thinks Kagami in alarm

The blade of an axe suddenly places itself an inch away from Kagami's neck.

"Right here." Says the man from behind Kagami, "Don't be in such a rush to die, I told you, I don't feel like killing you today. Don't worry that day will come soon. "

Kagami quickly turns around to find the man gone.

"Until the day comes, you've better get stronger. I'm expecting one helluva fight."

But what's happening now doesn't matter, I'm going to change it all, the Power Rangers are going to heroes again, like they're supposed to be. Not policemen or soldiers or giant dogs.

"So now that you know the details of the mission, I ask of you to join SPD in our mission to protect this tiny planet." Says Cruger, the entire room roared in agreement.

"It's our duty as Power Rangers to protect and preserve life." Says Jason,

"We mobilize in 48 hours, so I suggest you prepare for what's to come." Suggests Cruger.

But I personally believe that once this mission is over, every thing will be right again.

In the Next Chapter: Red, the entire planet is red from the slaughter of thousands, the lines between good and evil become blurred as the assault on Edenoi begins, death, destruction, and rebirth occurs in the next chapter!

A/N: So there you go, the second chapter, hope you guys liked it. I figured for every other chapter or so, I'd have a character's thoughts spread out through out the chapter, although I like the feel it gives to the story, problem is that it's way too comic bookish and difficult to do, so I won't do it that often. I'm really starting to enjoy writing this story,
