Origin of the Chosen Ones
By the QTeam
Over the last 400 years the Gorgon Sisters fame, reputation, and power in the galaxy only continued to grow as they worked for
Scorpius. Since the Scorpion Empire out on the Uncharted Territories (the name for the area at the fringes of deep space where neither the Council or the UAE dared go to) he had only one person to concern himself with. His rival the Space Pirate Captain Mutiny. Mutiny was a legendary pirate as well as a force to be reckoned with.
However he had never had to worry about someone like Scorpius or deal with warriors of the caliber Scorpius had under his wing. Even before he acquired the Gorgon Sisters he had a substantial and powerful army. With their help they increased his empire ten fold.
But Scorpius wanted more.
He wanted the fabled source of ultimate power.
The Lights of Orion.
The Gorgon Sisters were among the warriors sent to obtain the Legendary Lights but thanks to the intervention of the Magna Defender the lights were lost to them. The Magna Defender was a warrior from
Razaria. Scorpius had killed his son and the Defender had been attacking them not stop. He managed to kill Maronda and Deceptra once a piece but Impostra hated the Magna Defender the most since he killed her off twice and twice she had to find a new host.
She wanted the Defender but now recently the Scorpion Empire was now at war with Captain Mutiny.
It didn’t help matters that Mutiny had Hexuba working for him.
1003 BC
The Uncharted Territories
In the Scorpion Stinger, Scorpius’s flagship, Impostra bowed before her master as did Treacheron and
Furio, another of Scorpius’s main warriors. Trecheron had a mostly white and blue outfit with manta ray-like wings as a partial cape behind him. He had a samurai sword, and a blue face with a black-and-white version of his horizon emblem on his forehead. He also had a black ponytail at the top of his head, and two normally-colored versions of a diamond design showing a yellow sun in a red sky over a black horizon on the backs of his wing-like protrusions. Furio was a newcomer to the Empire but he showed some promise. He had a grey skinned head with bright yellow hair in a pointy style. Behind his head was a gray organic-looking webby area, and in strips around his body were cyborg-like circuit patches which was part of his armor.
In front of them was their master: Scorpius. Before going through the Cocoon of Transformation to gain unbelievable power that put him on the level of Dark Specter’s own power he was halfway human looking. Now he was a flat, flesh-colored, slug-shaped insect creature lying on a rock, with six large black tentacles with yellow markings down them; he had a black marking on the top of his "body, " bordered with yellow coloration. Beside Scorpius’s vertical mouth slit, which was lined with tiny jagged teeth, were tapered, curving
palpi, finger-like sense organs surrounding insect mouths; each palpus bore the same colorations as Scorpius’s tentacles. Scorpius’s large round eyes were black and completely smooth and reflective rather than compound; he had fleshy eyelids which allowed him to blink.
~Thank evil I didn’t have to sacrifice beauty for power.~
Impostra thought.
"You know why we are now orbiting the small world below us. " Scorpius said to his warriors. "The Lights of Orion are some where on this pitiful world and I want them. With them Mutiny will be crushed before my power!"
"Yes Scorpius!" Impostra, Furio and Trecheron bowed.
"Daddy! Daddy!" cried out a young girl who was no older than sixteen.
Impostra smiled inwardly at the young Princess
Trakeena. Not even 500 years old yet and she’s got this much energy. Her species really must live a million or more years. Scorpius himself is supposedly 50, 000 years old. She looked at what the Princess was wearing. She was dressed in a black form-fitting suit, had sections of hard black exoskeletal armor at various places on her body, including her forearms, shoulders, over her breasts, and around one side of the back of her neck. Webbed areas in a few places on Trakeena’s suit revealed flesh underneath, including a portion on her upper chest, across her midriff, and even more so around her thighs. She had a human face and ears, with most of her head covered by a black insect head design bearing purple segmented eyes and two antennae.
"What is it my sweet? I am busy at the moment. " Scorpius said.
"But daddy, Rangers are defeating Mutiny and his crummy pirates!" Trekeena said.
"What?!" Scorpius shouted.
"Rangers? Here?" Trecheron snorted.
"The Council would NEVER send Rangers out this far across the galaxy. " Furio said.
That’s when Maronda and Deceptra came onto the ship. "I’m afraid the princess is right. " Maronda said.
"There is fighting going on down below. Even the Magna Defender is involved. " Deceptra replied.
Scorpius raised one of his tentacles and blast of light appeared showing the image of scene below.
Trakeena was right. . . there were Power Rangers on the planet.
On the planet below there were orange-skinned humanoid beings in striped red and green shorts with a few other accessories attacking humans dressed in jungle garments. These creatures were Mutiny’s army, the Swabbies. Each one had a gold pirate sword with red and green stripes on one side, and a red-and-green striped bandanna. Over the face of each one was a generic orange-skinned pirate facemask with a black goatee. There were so many of them it looked as if the humans would be over run.
Until five Rangers appeared out of nowhere to take care of them. These rangers were like none before them. Their suits had white torsos with black zigzags across the chest, and zigzags on the glove and boot cuffs as well. The Rangers’ belt buckles were gold triangles with a black V in them; other such V’s could be found on the on the swords they had in their hands. Their helmets resembled that of animals. The Pink Ranger’s helmet resembled that of a Wildcat, the Yellow Ranger’s resembled that of a Wolf, the Green Ranger’s resembled a Condor, the Blue Ranger’s looked like a Gorilla, and the Red Ranger’s helmet was in the shape of a Lion.
As the slashed the Swabbies taking them out of the way, Mutiny’s monsters came at them. However they then raised their swords which glowed in their color. When they swung their weapons down elemental energy went at their foes destroying them. From Pink came Earth, from Yellow was Lightning, from Green was Wind, from Blue was Water and from Red was Fire. Even with out the swords they were able to call forth the element that they used.
"Where the hell did these Rangers come from?" A brown and black spiked, fully-armored knight shouted next
Hexuba. He held a spiked brown and black battleaxe in his hands. On his right shoulder was his own silver and green symbol.
"I don’t know Barbarax! But I do know we are losing the battle on this world!" Hexuba said to her companion. She then decided it was time to make some of their monsters grow. She didn’t think they would have Zords to fight them.
She didn’t expect them to call up something worse than Zords.
"The Galactabeasts!" Scorpius cried as he saw what the Rangers had called forth to take out Hexuba’s giants.
"This is not good news at all. " Furio said.
"Wait! The Magna Defender!" Trecheron exclaimed as he saw him holding a glowing golden box. "He’s got the Lights!" He then got up.
"Scorpius I want the honor of getting Lights and destroying the Defender. "
"Then go now! Now before we lose the Lights of Orion!" Scorpius shouted.
With that Trecheron left but Impostra was seething inwardly that she missed her chance to settle the score with her nemesis.
"Argh!" Cried the Magna Defender as he claimed up the cliff of Mount
Minaro. The might warrior was exhausted but he was an impressive sight. He had a green hexagonal gem on the forehead of his helmet, with a large green shiny hexagon in his chest, yellow bull-like horns from the side of his helmet, and a smooth lipless mouth plate. On the shoulders and belt of Magna Defender’s black armored suit were gold areas with a black zigzag through them. His visor was split into two horizontal sections and he wore a black cape which was red on the inside.
"No matter what happens. . . I will not allow Scorpius to get his hands on the Lights. . . " Magna Defender groaned as he inserted a key into the chest he held. "Powers of purity I beseech thee, return again only when the time of the Second Prophesy has arrived. . .
ngh!" he ground as he turned the key and the chest opened up. The Lights of Orion then flew into space.
"NO!!!" Trecheron screamed as he arrived only in time to see the Lights leave.
"You’re too late Trecheron. . . now Scorpius will never gain the Lights of Orion. " the Magna Defender said as he got up. "And if I don’t beat you with my sword, the Galaxy Rangers will defeat you with the Quasar Sabers. "
Trecheron then charged his sword. "Maybe. . . but you won’t live long enough to brag about it! CRIMSON STRIKE!" he swung his sword down and then a large blast of energy nailed the Magna Defender sending him over the cliff sparking and fell into a crevice in the ground.
"TRECHeron. . . . " the Magna Defender cried.
"Curse your shortcomings in hell Defender!" Trecheron shouted.
He then jumped back when he saw the Lion Galactabeast jump one of Hexuba’s giant monsters and then charcoal him to death. He couldn’t believe it. All eight of the Galactabeasts were now under these Rangers control. The Lion, the Gorilla, the Wildcat, the Wolf, the Condor, the Shark, the Rhino and the Phoenix. He didn’t think Mutiny would have anything to fight this.
Then he saw a giant beast come out of the sky.
"Oh hell! Mutiny’s finally flipped!" Trecheron cried. "He must be insane to unleash BOTH of them on the same planet. He must want to destroy it! I have to get out of here now!" He then teleported back to the Scorpion Stinger and tell Scorpius about this.
He needed to make sure they were far enough away from of Grunchor and the
Titanisaur.
Red Ranger looked at the two giant monsters that were coming after them.
"There’s no way the Galactabeasts can handle those monsters. " Yellow said. She looked at her leader as did Pink, Blue and Green. "What now?"
Suddenly the Shark, Rhino and Phoenix Galactabeasts glowed as they then hit Grunchor and
Titanisaur. Suddenly a portal formed around them. All of Mutiny’s crew were sucked right into it, Grunchor was being turned into an egg while Titanisaur was being turned into stone. An explosion of light later and then all was silent.
On the planet anyway.
"Daddy what’s happening!?" Trakeena wailed as the ship tossed about.
"This galaxy is become unstable!" Maronda replied looking at the readings. "If we don’t use the Warp Portals now to get out of here we will be stuck in this galaxy possibly forever!"
"Forever is not an option! Impostra! Get us out of here!" Scorpius shouted.
"At once Scorpius!" Impostra rushed to the controls and then the Scorpion Stinger turned to normal space to the core of their Empire.
"Status! I want to know everything!" Scorpius shouted.
"One-sixteenth of our empire has vanished. " Furio said. "It was in the same galaxy as that planet were at. "
"Call it the ‘Lost Galaxy’ now Furio. " Deceptra said.
"A fitting title to that place. . . however. . . " Scorpius mused. "Those Rangers. . . those powers were amazing!"
"I heard the Magna Defender call them Galaxy Rangers. . . and their powers must come from their swords. . . the Quasar Sabers. " Trecheron said.
"A fitting name to those weapons. . . " Scorpius slurped. "I want them AND the Lights of Orion!"
"My lord. . . I have some bad news along with good news. " Deceptra spoke. "The bad news is that this Lost Galaxy isn’t connecting with our Warp Portal Drive system. . . the good news is that no one else can get into the galaxy either. Also on a good note, before we left the Lost Galaxy, Mutiny was on the edge of known space. With his ship turned to stone I don’t think he’s going to be able to get anywhere far for a least a few millennia. "
"How long do I have to wait until I can get a chance at the Quasar Sabers?" Scorpius asked.
Deceptra sighed. ". . . three thousand years. "
". . . take us out of here. I want to go back to my palace on Scorpio Prime. " Scorpius said.
"Yes my lord. " Furio nodded.
Everyone went back to what they were doing but Scorpius thought of only this.
~
I WILL have the Quasar Sabers! What is three millennia to me but just a few hours?~
he chuckled a bit as the Scorpion Stinger went towards his home.
Somewhere deep space in an asteroid cluster, the Rhino, Phoenix and Shark Galatcabeasts floated helplessly in space. They couldn’t move at all because all of their energy was depleted. They had done so to defeat Mutiny and save
Mininoi. When they inadvertently created the Lost Galaxy the strain was too much for them and they just lost all power.
How very unfortunate for them a large ship came by and then lashed cable nets on to the three Galactabeasts and nailed them to one of the asteroids. The Rhino and the Phoenix against cliff faces and the Shark to the ground.
In side the ship was a robot that looked somewhat like a bard. He had a cluster of black cables serving as a long ponytail hanging over the back of his large neck cuff, and on his robot back were folded-down wing. There was a dual missile launcher device on his right wrist and a dual-barreled cannon device on his left.
"Galactabeasts. . . and mine to experiment on. " The robot laughed.
"Remember our deal Deviot or I shall send you back to your brother so he can finish the job he thought he had finished two millennia ago. " a voice behind him spoke.
Deviot shuttered remembering how close he had been to taking over the Machine Empire until his brother Mondo managed to elude his trap. Were it not for his benefactor Deviot would be dead himself.
~
As if that fat pile of scrap deserves the right to run father’s empire. With in a few millennia I’m sure he’ll have made enough damage to the empire so that even HUMANS of all species can defeat him. ~
". . . of course not Lord
Mirabilis. "
Mirabilis looked at Deviot. "Start the Cybernization process. I expect you to be finished within three millennia. " with that Mirabilis vanished into the shadows.
Deviot breathed easily as he then flipped a switch. Robotic drones came out of the ship and started adding mechanical parts to the
Galactabeasts.
"You should honored you know. I am giving you the chance to transcend your frail organic selves and become perfect beings. . . like me!" Deviot laughed to himself. He knew it wouldn’t be any time soon but when he was done with them, they wouldn’t be Galactabeasts anymore.
They would be his evil Zords. The Centaurus Megazord would come from the Rhino, the Stratoforce Megazord from the Phoenix, and the Zenith Carrierzord be made out of the Shark.
He couldn’t wait to use them.
It was midnight on Onyx when Impostra, Deceptra, and Maronda entered the Onyx Tavern. Icy Angel, their friend and proxy owner of their tavern, came over to them and brought them their favorite drinks.
"Welcome back girls. It’s been nearly a year since you all came back. " Icy Angel said as she sat down with them.
"Good to see you’re still frosty as ever Icy. " Maronda smiled. "Where are Skylar and
Caldena?"
"Skylar’s back on Solaris getting set up with her people that don’t like the old Amazonian ways. She and the other fifty thousand other Amazonians now call themselves Solenoids. " Icy Angel replied. "Solaris should be getting membership into the UAE pretty soon with the same rights as any other normal member. "
"And Caldena?" Maronda asked.
"Last I heard she and Ecliptor were still working together. " Icy Angel answered. She then looked at them all. "So how have you all been? You look tired. "
"Definitely. Scorpius keeps us busy with work. " Deceptra replied.
"Not that we don’t mind really. We’ve gotten richer, more beautiful, and more powerful. . . " Maronda smirked. However Impostra then slammed her hand down hard on the table. "I should have been the one to kill the Magna Defender! Not blue boy!" she shouted.
Icy Angel sighed. "Let me guess. . . bad day in the scorpion’s nest?"
Maronda nodded telling Icy Angel the story of the their events of the last year while Deceptra took Impostra outside to blow off some steam. Her idea of ‘blowing off some steam’ was turning 25 Tengas into stone and then smashing each of their statues into pieces. By the time they came back Maronda had finished telling Icy Angel everything and Impostra seemed more relaxed.
"Well from what you are saying those Rangers you saw are powerful. if the council. . . " Icy Angel started but Impostra interrupted her. "No one learns about those Galaxy Rangers. As far the universe is concerned, they don’t exist. The Quasar Sabers don’t exist. "
"Whoa. Wait a moment Impostra. You want to keep this news from the UAE. . . from Dark Specter himself?" Maronda asked.
"Do I look like I want EVERY STUPID MEMBER trying to go after the Lights AND the Sabers?!" Impostra stressed. "No. I don’t. The last thing we need is the Council to get their hands on those Sabers and if the bunglers in the UAE hear about them how long do you think it will be until the Council goes after them?"
The other two Gorgons just stared at Impostra. "So what do we do?" Deceptra asked.
"We got 3000 years to wait for our opportunity. . . " Impostra smirked as she played with her hair snakes. "I’m sure we can find ways to entertain ourselves until then while we continue to work for
Scorpius. "
"Well when you put it that way. " Deceptra smirked as did Maronda and then Icy Angel just shrugged but then Maronda put an arm around her. "Hey! Do you think I am going leave my best friend out of this? We’re going to including you on a bunch of our freelance escapades. "
Icy Angel smirked. "Looks my days are going to become a lot better. "
"And as time goes on so will the lives of other female monsters. " Impostra raised her glass after making sure Icy Angel had one. "A toast then to our friends out in the universe and to our sacred pact. . . A toast to the Sisterhood. " She smiled. "Where our goal is show all the fools in the universe that women are more evil then men. . . to the Sisterhood. "
"To the Sisterhood. " Maronda, Deceptra and Icy Angel agreed as they chinked their glasses with Impostra and drank their Lava Juices.
It was the perfect end to an otherwise bad day.
Back in the Lost Galaxy on the planet that was the home of the Galaxy Rangers a celebration was taking place.
"A Toast!" the elder of their tribe shouted. "Sho, Mia, Tobias, Kala, and
Demitri! The Saviors of Mirinoi! To the Chosen Ones!"
"To the Chosen Ones!" The people cried out.
The five Rangers were now demorphed. Mia, the Pink Ranger, was a black haired woman.
Kala, the Yellow Ranger, was a brown haired girl. Sho, the Blue Ranger, was a blonde haired man. Tobias, the Green Ranger, was a dark skinned teen. Finally
Demitri, the Red Ranger, was a black haired teen. As the celebration winded down when suddenly. . .
"A great day for you all. " a voice spoke
Every turned around when they saw one that had found their chosen ones and had brought them the Quasar Sabers.
The man called Shadow.
"Master Shadow. " Demitri came forward.
"Mutiny will not bother this world again and all other evils can not enter your world for some time. " Shadow said. He knew had done good on this one. Hiring out the services of Melchior the Weapons Master. He had after all created every major weapon in existence. Excalibur, the
Masamune, the Sword of Power, the Sword of Light, the Rainbow Sword, the Holy Tiger Blade, and now the Quasar Sabers, each one made of
adamantium, tempered in the fires of magic itself, melded with a specific elemental crystal, tied to the very life force of magic itself, and made to be a set with the Lights of Orion, these powers were far beyond anything Ranger power currently in existence.
~
And now I have to do what is needed. ~
Shadow sighed. Putting his hand out he then froze all save the five Galaxy Rangers. They looked on at what was going on but then didn’t understand. "Come with me. " Shadow then brought them to the center of the village. There was a giant stone. "Place your Quasar Sabers in the stone. You no longer need them. "
"What?" Sho started.
"But Shadow why?" Mia asked.
"We’ve only been Rangers for less than a year and fought in real battles for only a few days. " Tobias said. "We can do a lot of good still. "
"Not if the Council learns of you. And if they did then your world would be stripped of its magical power. " Shadow said. "And in any case I have another favor to ask of you all. " They looked at him as he raised the Galaxy Book, the item that he had used to find them. "The Second Prophesy tells of great destruction if the Chosen Ones don’t appear. . . but they must be the Chosen Ones of the Future. Your descendents. " Shadow said to them. "I need Mia, Tobias,
Sho, and Demitri to come with me. "
"Where?" Demitri asked.
"For three of you its earth and for one of you its a place called KO-35. . . it is on those worlds that four will give you descendents as it has been foretold in the Galaxy Book. " Shadow told them.
"But what about Kala? And our families here?" Mia asked.
Shadow shook his head. "I’m sorry. . . but this is your destiny. If you don’t do this then everything in the future will cease to exist. "
". . . what happens to our families?" Demitri asked.
"When I restart time I’m going to change their memories. They’ll have seen you all put the sabers into the stone and then you four along with some others have gone to explore the rest of the planet. " Shadow said. "I promise to make this as painless as possible. . . but I need your answer now. "
For the longest time none of them spoke. . . until finally they all said yes.
Several hours later, Shadow was now at the edge of space near Gallifrey. He had deposited his four Rangers on the planets they needed to be. He held the Galaxy Book in his hands as he waited patiently for him to arrive.
Ever since the Guardian of Book had come, by command of Rassilon no less, and dropped the damn book in his lap he had gotten to learn more of the future than he cared to know. Shadow thought that because as much as he wanted to change some things, he couldn’t or he wouldn’t exist.
~
I hate time paradoxes. ~
Shadow thought as he saw the specter of light appear.
"Do you have the book?"
Shadow then placed the book in the specter’s hands. "Guard it well Guardian. "
"Your pun is not a good one Shadow Ninja. " The Guardian of the Book replied before leaving.
Shadow shrugged as he went back to his domain in the Shadow Grid. He had things to do tomorrow.
~
Like trying to save the other twelve tribes of humanity from being exterminated by the Cylon Race. ~
Shadow sighed.
~
Maintaining the balance is never easy. ~
From the worlds that Shadow left the first Galaxy Rangers on, all got married and had families and children.
On KO-35, Mia, the first Pink Galaxy Ranger, fell deeply in love with a Kerovian male by the name of Liam
Lanrydan. Their family would produce two of the most incredible beings that their planet would ever have. Andros and Karone
Lanrydan.
On Earth, Tobias, the first Green Galaxy Ranger, would be connected to one Damon Henderson. Sho would start a family in the land to be called China and in the future one of his descendents would be Kai Chen.
The leader and first Red Galaxy Ranger, Demitri, would have two descendents to which he could say he was proud to have come from his line: Michael Andrew Corbett and his younger brother Leo.
While on Miranoi, Kala, the first Yellow Galaxy Ranger, will start a line that would connect to a descendent named Maya.
And it is on Miranoi to this day that the Legend of the Chosen Ones is continued to be told to its people, generation after generation. Every year several Miranoians are chosen to go to the Quasar Stone and try to pull out the Quasar Sabers to see if they are the Chosen Ones. To this day no one has.
And so the Quasar Sabers remain on Miranoi stuck in the Quasar Stone.
Waiting.
Waiting for the Chosen Ones to come and accept their destinies.
This is not the end of our story. . . it is merely the beginning.
