 Episode 1: The End is But The Beginning<br/>
<br/>
 Power Rangers have always been around in order to help defend the universe from the ever powerful forces of evil. Even the Z Wave that wiped out much of the active evil at the time, only destroyed so much of it, killing the forces of the Dark Alliance, and freeing up the defending Rangers from their foes. But as always, Light can not exist without the Darkness ever looming from beyond its boundaries. And with it, many teams time and time again have fought and protected those that they cared about from these Darker forces. Even with the forces of Darkness coming, the Power Rangers always defended that which they held dear. But what if a Ranger Team fell? What if other teams were unable to intervene? What if the villains won?<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
 Delta Force had been fighting back against the forces of Zentenium and his horde of monsters and minions for months. They had stopped plan after plan from coming to fruition. Wherever this Yuristrian Crystal lay, they sure as hell were not going to be letting Zentenium get his grubby little hands on it. They were the best of the best, chosen and trained by the Power Rangers Delta Force program of the United States Military. And their training showed. It was part of why they were such an effective fighting force against Zentenium's troops. Especially shown when up against Mythal and her Army. Those were the most efficient troops, clearly battle hardened from conquering multiple worlds. But Delta Force could hold their own.<br/>
<br/>
 Delta Force was training in the military base, practicing their moves against each other when they got the alert on their communicators. A monster sighting in the Warehouse District. "Delta Force Activate", The Team shouted as they moved in unison and held out their morphers, inputting a singular code that caused them to transform into the color coordinated warriors that they were: <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(184, 49, 47)">Red</span>, <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(41, 105, 176)">Blue</span>, <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(250, 197, 28)">Yellow</span>, <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">Black</span>, and Pink. <br/>
<br/>
They hopped into their hummer and drove off to the Warehouse District where they found an elephant like monster swinging it's trunk around while ordering the Relics. "Move faster, ya damn buckets o' bolts. Oquelis will have my hide for her experiments if we ain't getting these goods to her in one piece." He turned and saw the Rangers. "Aww Peanuts. Get 'em ya goons!" The elephant monsters shouted loudly, prompting the relics to drop what they were holding and charge into the fray, engaging in fighting the Delta Force.<br/>
<br/>
The fight itself was a blur as Delta Red swung his sword, cutting through one and then another Relic with first a deep slash and then a jab before charging the Monster while the others still engaged the Relics. The fighting was joined between the two as sword met tusk and then tusk met suit, prompting a flash of sparks to erupt as Delta Red, was flung backwards onto the ground. "You'll have ta get up waay earlier in the morning to get the better of me, Ranger." The elephant chuckled as he wildly swing his trunk around. Suddenly the trunk was grabbed midair and the monster was pulled straight into a hardened gloved fist. "Idiot. If you're so good, why are you lowering your guard in the middle of battle?", the yellow ranger interjected as she got in a few more wallops with her fist before letting go and the monster falling on the floor in a heap while the Blue Ranger helped the Red Ranger to his feet, allowing the Rangers to get into formation with their guns pointed at the monster, broken Relics on the floor. "Tell us what you were doing here, and we'll let you go." The monster beaten and bruised chuckled. "Acting as bait to ya'll." The Delta Force Rangers immediately took a defensive posture in anticipation of something as a menacing Black silhouetted figure began to approach...…..<br/>
<br/>
…...That was when the feed cut out back at base. "Get that visual back, now!", General Houser commanded. "We're trying sir. There is something jamming our visuals and our communications. We can't reach the Rangers."<br/>
<br/>
 The General slammed his fist hard into a nearby table, causing it to break the skin and a trickle of blood to swim out from the wound. "Sir, we've gotten back a visual." The command center was all agap at what they saw. The Delta Force Rangers, the best of the best that they had, were all broken and defeated. All demorphed and bruised and bloody. What could have done that to the entire team. Perhaps there was still hope though. "Get a Rescue Team out there. They Might still be alive."<br/>
<br/>
"Sir, the base is under attack." "What?" "Mythal and her troops are performing a frontal assault on the base." "Blast it all. Sound an evacuation. Fighting Retreat and scuttle what we can't take with us. I won't let those bastards use anything of ours against us!" "Yes sir." The support staff all grabbed pistols and needed supplies as the marines set up explosives. As they managed to escape the base, the General looked back with a hardened gaze to their previous headquarters. "We'll keep up the good fight. For all those that were lost."<br/>
<br/>

<br/>
Three Months Later<br/>
<br/>
The city of Lantern's Bay has now become walled off from the rest of the world and separated into five districts. Each of the Districts is under the Direct rule of a human collaborator and a greater Monster from the ZOF. Regular U.N. supply drops happen at predetermined locations and certain types of trade is still allowed to happen under the supervision of the Zentenium Occupation Force. Other than the force slave labor camps in the Quarry, mainly from dissidents against the ZOF and the patrols of Monsters and Relics around the city, things are mostly back to normal. At least in such as people wanted to get back on with their lives as best as they can.<br/>
<br/>
Some hold out hope that other Ranger Teams will be able to liberate the city, but the walls are heavily defended and they have their hands full with dangerous monsters lurking around the surrounding areas of the countryside to hold a direct assault on the city.<br/>
<br/>
In these dark times, there is but one hope against the Darkness..... Black Ranger. The unknown man in the carbon copy mask of the Black Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Mask and his Black Body Suit was the laughing stock of the Zentenium Occupation Force. There he was, being recorded live on television, facing down another monster. This was a fairly regular occurrence, but they often liked to broadcast his fights. If only to help illustrate how useless the average person was against such powerful creatures. This one a cyclopian monster carrying a large club. "Are you stupid or something? Why you picking a fight with the mighty Cycloptor?"<br/>
<br/>
The streets were completely jam-packed with motor vehicles, people from all over downtown had flocked to a construction site. Members of the press were present and tread lightly, keeping a safe distance from the disastrous scene that was about to unfold before them. Black Ranger was once again making headlines for his antics. He was a train wreck you couldn't look away from, a trashy reality show you couldn't get enough of, and maybe an underdog someone out there rooted for.<br/>
<br/>
 Black Ranger laughed at the monster's remark. "Oh, I thought your one eye would only affect your depth perception, but eye see it's affecting your comprehension as well," he taunted. "Don't worry, eye will break it down for you: My. name. is. Black. Ranger., it's. my. sworn. duty. to. protect. this. world. from. the. likes. of. you."<br/>
<br/>
 Black struck a heroic pose. "Let's show this fiend how it's done!"<br/>
<br/>
 A wave of maids and butlers suddenly charged towards the club-wielding cyclops.<br/>
<br/>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>
<br/>
Inside the Dank, but protected secret base that is the home of the Delta Force Resistance, The General and the others could see on the television, the events unfolding. Nearby was Fiona Glasko, a former member of the police force who had helped what was left of their group escape the danger in the city and retreat underground where they were able to meet up with other support team members and eventually form what they could in order to try to fight back. The time was soon approaching where they would be able to do this.<br/>
<br/>
The General turned to Fiona and the two others that would be joining her on this mission. "Let's go over the plan one more time. Fiona, you will take Turner and Diane with you to break into the Prison. There, you will convince the three chosen members: Brent Martin, Luna Malone and Miko Kiruma to join Delta Force. Once you have gotten them to safety, you are then authorized to hand them these morphers." The General handed Fiona a briefcase. "Any questions?"<br/>
<br/>
The fit and muscular woman saluted before she reached over to take the suitcase. "No sir."<br/>
<br/>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>
<br/>
Inside the Prison, things had changed a bit over the last few months. Most of the human officers had been transitioned out, replaced by the robotic Relics and at least one monster, a blue skinned reptillian creature named Cobalt. He stunk to high heaven and loved to get into people's faces to make them gag. He laughed constantly and was always swinging his tail wildly around, even hitting Relics when he moved.<br/>
<br/>
During the change, they started caring less about keeping the male and female prisoners apart, leading to this current courtyard situation. Brent Martin, Luna Malone and Miko Kiruma were all part of the inmates that were now motioned for outside courtyard time. There were some bench-presses, a basketball court and a handful of benches. Some of the inmate started playing basketball. Only one of the bench presses is currently occupied and some inmates are already bunched up together and talking/exchanging cigarettes. A nearby tv screen showed the Black Ranger fighting with a monster.<br/>
<br/>
Luna was currently transferred to the prison in between her next forced assignment for the ZOF. Who knows what sort of uncomfortable and dangerous assignment she'd have to perform for the whims of the villainous minions.<br/>
<br/>
Brent was sent here after the latest family heist, being left behind, abandoned by his family in his time of need.<br/>
<br/>
Miko's force of personality and actual force got her in trouble with the corrupted police force of the city and ended up in this predicament.​</div>
