Everything on the roads was electricity powered now. Emergency vehicles and police hovered about ten feet above the ground. The advances in technology seemed meaningless when otherworldly creatures began attacking the west coast metropolitan area weeks earlier. Tommy Oliver’s storage bunker had been raided by an unknown enemy and several weapons and artifacts from his past were taken including the Sword of Darkness, the staff of Rita Repulsa, various zord blueprints, as well as a reconstructed Red Lightning Turbozord. The thief remained in the shadows after giving the items to Scorpina, who had set up shop in a cave system on the edge of a cliff very few people knew the location of. Ever since, Scorpina has unleashed bastardized versions of old Power Ranger enemies trying to perfect the dark magics of the staff. 

After the incident at the bunker, Tommy Oliver reached out to Billy Cranston and the two began preparing for what was to come. With the Aquitarean starship of Cranston’s, the two men quickly built a new HQ underground close to where the old command center was located in the 90’s. With a mostly reconstructed Dragonzord and Red Dragon Thunderzord they knew where to start when fashioning another group of Rangers. The Dragon Morphers were tied to the technology in the new Ranger’s zords and had the appearance of serpentine smart watches mixed with slap bracelets. While the zords were not completed, the morphers and the suits as well as the Dragon Daggers were ready to go. Billy was just waiting for Tommy’s word to let the morphers choose their owners. 

On a day like so many others, Gabriel stormed out of Mr. Cranston’s room and bumped into Dr. Oliver at Angel Grove High School. The bell had rang, and Gabe grabbed his red flannel jacket and backpack and was the first student out the door. He was so quick to get out as fast as he could that he walked directly into Dr. Oliver and dropped his backpack. 

“Where’s the fire?” Oliver asked as the kid picked up his things and hurried off.

As the teenagers exited the room of Cranston, Dr. Oliver stepped in. It was the end of the school day. They locked eyes and Oliver nodded. It was time.

Gabriel was at the local park. His motor bike was spray painted and messed with before he could get to it in time after school. A few guys on the football team liked to break his stuff because they were under the impression his parents would just buy him new things to replace it. That wasn’t always the case, but for no reason at all some of the same football players were also at the park and in a mood to start trouble. Gabe was just trying to walk around a bit and get out of his head, maybe try to find something cool off of the regular paths. He saw what appeared to be a red lizard of some kind on the ground, but then the football players came up and shoved him. 

“Thought I smelled tacos…” the one idiot commented. 

Gabe was on the ground now. Outnumbered three to one, suddenly he felt something crawl up his hand and arm. He looked down at his hand and it looked as if a red robot-lizard dragon thing had wrapped itself around his wrist. And in another strange twist… now a strange grey shape-shifting creature approached the teens making an awful gargling noise as it breathed life. 

“Timothy… what the hell is THAT THING?!” another football player screamed as the three of them took off up the path. 

“Great… first my bike and now THIS thing… I’m not going down without a fight.” Gabriel thought as the eyes of the dragon bracelet lit up and transformed him into the Red Dragon Force Ranger. 

“THAT wasn’t expected…” he thought out loud. As the putty monster approached, Gabe noticed some sort of weapon on his side, “Sweet, some kinda dagger… okay monster man, you want a piece of this?!” he yelled charging at the creature.
